A FileStream is a normal pdb with just a special typeID and the content is
spread over the records in a way that each record only occupies 64kB.
The documentation says: " .... File streams can be arbitrarily large—they
are not subject to the 64 KB maximum size limit imposed by the Memory
Manager on allocated objects....."

This is true but is false!!!
u can HotSync a stream without a special conduit, u can use the next code
and your Stream file will appear migically on your PC on
"c:\PALMDIR\USERDIR\Backup"
UInt8 backupFile(UInt16 cardNo, const char *nombre ){
UInt16 attr = 136;
LocalID dbID = 0;
Err err;
dbID = DmFindDatabase(cardNo, nombre);
if( !dbID )
return 0;
return !( DmSetDatabaseInfo(cardNo, dbID, 0, &attr, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0) );
}
