Hi, maybe we shall list all features of vdccm and odccm to compare them directly as i guess, that some features of vdccm are missing in odccm and vice versa.
So for vdccm we have: - Support for PocketPC 2003 devices - Support for WM 5 devices - Support for multiple devices simultaneously - Support for SynCE-KDE (raki) and all of those tools which rely on the "active_connection"-file in the ~/.synce/ directory - Support of a socket-connection for controll-messages to and from other synce-tools (e.g. raki) like password-request and password-offer messages, ... - Connected devices can be identified either by their ip-addresses or by their logical device-name. - Acts as device-proxy for WM 5 devices mediating between the synce-tools and the devices. If someone can also list all features of odccm we are able to compare them helping deciding what should be declared depreciated or should be implemented either in vdccm or in odccm. regards voc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
