You should be able to use the 'restore' feature in gnome-pilot. I don't have an install to hand, but as far as I remember you can right-click on the sync icon on your desktop bar and select "restore..."
Alternatively, I believe that if you just attempt a sync, gnome-pilot will see an unrecognised ID and ask if you want to do a restore. If you have multiple palms known to gnome-pilot it'll let you choose one to restore. Personally, I'd backup your gnome-pilot directory first, just in case! Impressive you still have a functioning device. You've outlasted me by a few years at this stage :) Matt -- Matt Davey Never let a doctor examine you naked. mcda...@mrao.cam.ac.uk Make him put his clothes on first.
