You could write a conduit easily enough if it doesn't have to sync, just
overwrite the Palm all the time.

- Make sure that the strings are not fixed lengths
- Use something like the Flags field in the Address Book database, where
each bit indicates the existence or absence of one of the following
fields
- Use the Palm date and time types, not text representations
- Don't use integers where bytes will do
There has also been mention on the conduit forum of some compression
code, so you might want to search the archives there. Sorry, but I can't
remember off the top of my head what it was called.
