I was going to say that if your question is not relatyed to the kernel, then it is an android question and it is out of topic. Or not? The consensus seems to be that so long as we don't drown out the Linux side of the list, questions on anything Unixish or Open-sourceish in nature are okay. I believe the good people of this list will point it out when this arrangement seizes to work well. Shachar If I have a question on running something on Debian GNU/Hurd is my question out of topic? If I use PCBSD and I have a question related to kde or gnome, is my question out of topic? If I have a question about configuring my linksys or d-link router that runs a linux kernel, is my question out of topic?

Since 2 of the 3 platforms I'm using are Linux (my PC and my phone), I think this is on-topic - so long as we don't get into an arguement about whether Android is really Linux or not ;-). 1 - I used jpilot to export Palm memo files to text files 2 - the files look fine in a Linux text editor (Kwrite, Kate, etc) 3 - I used Dropbox to move the files to my phone 4 - When I open the files on the phone (with various editors), there are strange line breaks (seem to be random - between words, in the middle of a word or even after each letter) - like this: This is a tes t to show an exa m p l e 5 - I tried opening the files in Open Office (in Linux) and saving as .odt and again copied to the phone with dropbox 6 - The Android Open Office reader app now reads the files properly. Any ideas why the original text files show this behaviour? BTW - when I opened the files in Open Office (in Linux), I checked to see if there were un-printable characters, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. I even looked at the files in hexedit to see if there were any unusual characters, but found nothing unusual. -- Shlomo Solomon http://the-solomons.net Sent by KMail 1.13.3 (KDE 4.4.3) on LINUX Mandriva 2010.1 ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il -- Shachar Shemesh Lingnu Open Source Consulting Ltd. http://www.lingnu.com ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
