The last time I looked into this, the problem with the .prc file I was sent was
that the embedded creation date was more recent than the embedded modification
date. HotSync checks for that, but Poser doesn't.

Subject: Emulator, cool. Install tool, not.
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
