1) Importing a flat ascii file, created outside of the palm
environment, into the handheld
2) Reading the flat file and creating a data file that the palm
application can read and
update. (I have seen code examples writing to palm database
files...but I don't know
how to read from the flat file).
1) You can use the Host Control file functions with POSE to read a desktop file and import it into a PDB. (The Simulators may also support these functions).
2) You can use any one of a variety of tools available to do this. Many are free. See:
http://www.flippinbits.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/DevelopmentToolsList
We offer one of those tools, called PDB-Def. It lets you import tab-delimited desktop files into a PDB file using POSE and method # 1 above. You can find more details at www.slorevo.com.
