(Fwd) Linux Palm Pilot tools (fwd)




I just Got this from one of the million of mail-list I subscribe to,  and since
I recall someone bieng intrested in "Palm Pilot" at the last meeting I thought
I would send it on to our list.  I think it was our new friend the Mainframe
programmer.

Hi everyone!

I just uploaded the latest versions of pilot-link, xcopilot, and
prc-tools to ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/Incoming.

These tools allow you to HotSync your Palm Pilot handheld PDA to your
Linux box, emulate the Paml Pilot on your Linux box, and compile and
debug programs for the Palm Pilot.

Here are the descriptions.

This suite of tools allows you to upload and download programs
and data files between a *nix machine and the USR Pilot.  It has
a few extra utils that will allow for things like syncing the
Pilot's calendar app with Ical.  Note that you might still need
to consult the sources for pilot-link if you would like the
Python, Tcl, or Perl bindings.
