Thanks so much, Jon. All this time that was all it was!
Generally speaking, I am just setting the LaunchableData bit so I can see my PDB files
in launcher until I write a more deluxe
directory viewer, although I do plan to have a real application target when I'm done.
In the interim, I pulled the database apart byte by byte on the Palm, and cleared up a
few points:
(1) - YES, for an installable PDB, use the 1904 dates - only the backed up version is
converted to 1970 dates
(2) - Every aspect of my PDB works EXCEPT that the unique IDs STAY zero even after
installation on the Palm - is this a problem for
a Palm database?
My understanding was that the Palm installer would generate Unique IDs, but this isn't
happening.
Any thoghts on the UniqueID problem?
