I can't find the NT URL with the brief search right now. Part of it is at
http://linux.fh-heilbronn.de/~christ/pilot-xfer/
The main site (which is busy) but has the source is:
ftp://ryeham.ee.ryerson.ca/pub/PalmOS/
I've compiled it successfully wingnu (GCC for Windows)
sourceware.cygnus.com or somewhere (redhat bought cygnus and my link
is slow and I don't have a bookmark). A good search engine might also
be able to find it (or ask again later if you can't).
However given the explanation, I need to ask what model of the Palm
you have since a Dragonball EZ has a background mode. It would be
expensive in terms of tech time, but you can basically reset the
processor and extract every bit of memory in the background without
touching anything else. You would need to contact someone at palm.com
or motorola for instructions, but if this is a legal type issue it
might be worth it.
