For a new application, I need to create a single, fixed-length data file on
the Windows desktop and periodically download it to the Palm. The target
database on the Palm will consist of a single record whose only contents are
identical to the data file. I would prefer not to deal with the Conduit API
at all, if I can take one of these two approaches:
(1) Generate the data file as raw data on the desktop, and automatically
save it as record 0 (the only record) of a specified database on the Palm;
or
(2) Generate an image of the PDB file on the desktop, and replace the Palm
version.
For now, I'm willing to have users run the application which creates the
data file on the desktop as a separate step before performing a HotSync.
Ideally, the process should create the database on the Palm if it doesn't
already exist, though I'm even willing to require users to "initialize" the
application on the Palm to ensure that the database is present.
Is there a simple way to accomplish either of these two operations without
coding a conduit? Or is there a reliable "canned" conduit shell I can use
that will let me either create a data buffer or build a PDB image, and
upload it to the device?
