Really?! Then it's a lousy place to store info. So it's just a temporary place for applications to stash sorting information, eh? > The Reason i suggested to not write a sort info Block, but use the > Info (sort info Block present) if the DB are parsed (read) outside the > PalmOS is thats maybe possible that a Sortinfo Block are there. Yes, I understand. I'll add a note that any SortInfo block should be ignored. If the reader just uses the offset to the index record, it should automatically skip over any additional information in the header, so it would normally just skip this block. Bill
