Hello!

This Readme file has been changed to provide information about the Win32
port of pilot-link/pilot-xfer:

The pilot-xfer utility is included as a binary which can readily be used 
without rebuilding anything.
Pilot-xfer can backup, restore, install & delete databases on the Palm device.
Run it without command-line arguments to get complete instructions.
Make sure you specify the right port (COM1, COM2). Otherwise it will simply
not work :-)


  The default connection rate is 9600 baud. You are welcome to try higher
  baud rates (19200, 38400, or 57600) by setting the PILOTRATE environment
  variable, but various machines have various limitations.
  

Isn't there already a port?
  Yes, Jeff Senn and a few others have ported pilot-link/pilot-xfer to Win32.
  This port is based on their wonderful work, but 
  uses completely different settings for the serial communications.
  It should be more reliable, because it tries to exactly mimic the behavior
  of Palm Desktop 3.0, as monitored by the PortMon utility 
  (www.sysinternals.com). Please report all communications problems to me
  (christ@swl.fh-heilbronn.de)


Rebuilding the package:

This build has been created using the Watcom 10.6 compiler. Users of
MS VC++ 5.0 will have to include the file msdir.h into pilot-xfer.c and
exclude io.h from pilot-xfer.c. Apart from that, the provided workspace
files should work fine.
