Plenty of documentation available on how to write a conduit, plus there are utilities available that will convert text files on a PC to PDB format, which can then be installed into the Palm OS (r) unit without need of a conduit. Why two floats? You introduce nasty endian complications by moving around binary values. Much better to convert to strings on the PC, and then read in and convert strings to floats on the Palm OS unit!
