I was going to add support for Pilot-DB in my application MPC
<http://www.mootjelitt.com/mpc.html> when I was told that the Mac
HotSync software couldn't install Pilot-DB databases.

So I tried installing a database and sure enough, Pilot-DB refused to
open the database. I then tried installing the database on my SD-card
and then copy it to the Palm and that worked without problems.

I compared the faulty database in my backup folder with the orginal I
tried to install and from what I can understand the appinfo block seem
to have become corrupted (note I'm looking at this file on my Mac so the
database have travelled Mac => Palm => Mac, the one who travelled Mac =>
SD Card => Palm => Mac doesn't have this problem).

There seems be an extra chunk of information (I think 15F bytes) at the
end of the AppInfo block of the munged file.

Can anyone give me a clue what is going on (the conduit manager is
v3.0.0, modified 2002-03-26, 14:44, the install conduit is v 3.0.0,
created 2002-03-25, 14:09:32 (modified 2002-12-11,14:25:08 but that is
probably when I installed it))?

Is there a bug in the install conduit/Conduit Manager? Is something else
happening.

I would be grateful for any information you can give me.
