in reply to HandX weblog parser

"The program is, unfortunately, only supporting Windows as host."

Why? I don't see any obvious reason that it wouldn't work on *nix... or any other operating system for that matter.

    Hmm, I should have picked my words a little better: what I mend was that there's only a conduit program for Windows available, which automatically can store the Weblog entries to your web-server. For other operating systems, you should write them yourself.

      But there are conduits available for other operating systems!
      Palm Power Magazine's article on connecting with Linux.
      Librenix has some articles on connecting Palm and other handhelds to a Linux box.
      Just Google for other OSes... I think you will find BSD, Solaris, etc all can sync with a handheld device.

        Yes, I know! In fact I use JPilot to Sync my Palm under Linux.
        But what I'm refering to is that there's no conduit for Linux (or any other OS but Windows) that can deal with my WebLog entries. I can retrieve its files, but I won't be able to do anything with them (which is a bit odd for a weblog), unless I parse them.
        Since I had the raw PDB file, and I knew a little about its structure I decided to use my favourite programming language to `parse' the interesting information from it!
