Yep, that's apparently the case. :-(( More precisely, it seems that under PalmOS 5.x, it is *impossible* for a user application to receive PDB or PRC files sent by the *launcher* of another device. You can do it under PalmOS 4.x. You can do it if they are beamed by something else (e.g., Filez). But you can't do it under PalmOS 5.x, if they are being beamed by the launcher.

None of them has been able to solve it and nobody on this forum has answered their messages, telling them how to do it. Would be nice if we could hear something from a Palm insider about this issue. Is it a bug? Is it intentional? Why does it happen? Is there a workaround? Sigh, I'm starting to get really frustrated by this sorry excuse of an operating system! It's great for simple applications that show some trivial forms, get user input and store it in a database. But as soon as you try to do some deeper systems programming, you literally have to fight the OS on every step. :-((( It's not the single-thread-single-tasking architecture that's the problem, either. MS-DOS was STST too, but there these things were *so* much easier; you could do anything you wanted, without the OS constantly tripping you. :-( Regards, Vesselin -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
