I've an odd problem.  I'm building my own .pdb files (and have been for 
years, without problems).  I'm now porting the pdb-builder to another 
language and have run into something weird.

If I drop the built .pdb file onto the Emulator, it loads fine and I can 
use it without problem in the creating application.

However, if I double-click it (on a Mac) to install it, the HotSync 
Manager displays a dialog saying "This file does not appear to be a valid 
Palm file." If I use the "Add to List" button to navigate to the .pdb 
file, it's not even shown in the list of possible files!  That means to 
me that there's some relatively inexpensive check that the HotSync 
Manager is doing that the Emulator doesn't do.

If I drop the .pdb into the "Files to install" folder and attempt a 
HotSync, I get a failure in the log with the 4114 error.

Before I get into the pain of step-by-step comparison of the two programs 
and their output, does anyone know what check the HotSync Manager might 
be doing, and therefore what area I may be incorrectly writing?

Thanks!
Lee
