I have to beam several records (up to the whole database), not knowing in advance exactly how many (I could indeed count them) nor the total size of them (they're variable size). O'Reilly'sPalmOS Programming book makes it look very simple, but the Palm OS Reference states that prior to OS 4.0, the exchange library (thus ExgSend) could not send multiple objects (records?) in a single connection.
What's the best trick to send multiple records in pre-OS 4.0? I assume calling ExgConnect for every bunch of records will trigger a beam accept dialog on the receiving device, an unacceptable solution.
Is your application on the receiving device? If so, you can make your own wire format that can hold multiple records, and you'll decode that into a set of records in your beam receive logic.
