Hi Bastian,
Here you are - this is a method I use.
CharPtr getName()
{
static char name[dlkUserNameBufSize];
DlkGetSyncInfo( NULL, NULL, NULL, name, NULL, NULL );
if (!name[0])
{
StrCopy( name, "Emulator" );
}
return name;
}

ps. Have you noticed how many Palm programming snobs there are? You post a
reasonable question onto the group and get abuse for it. In cases where the
person really hasn't made an effort to find out, then fair enough, but I
know for a fact that this bit of code isn't available in any of the
documentation handed out by 3Com (or anyone else I could see), and it isn't
on the 'Knowledge' base either.
