Never said recently. This topic gets beat to death about once a month.
There were code examples posted sometime in the beginning of last month and
a couple of times just prior to that. Shouldn't be a big deal to get the
messages from the Palm news server or to search for it in egroups. Heck,
Google has added rather good search capabilities to dejanews. Just goto
www.dejanews.com and search on 'Palm' and 'float'
