ok, switched to plain text, and on the bottom :)
Did what you requested, 1st got a popup error
"The Application "gpilotd" has quit unexpectedly."
It did continue in the terminal though, starting with;
Listening for incoming connection on /tmp/pilot... connected!
Reading list of databases in RAM and ROM...
then a HUGE list of what looks like everytihng on the treo and them
some, ending with;
List complete. 485 files found.
Thank you for using pilot-link.
So at least it was able to read from the device, just not sure how to
tell the OS that the device is on /device/something, and / or is there
more to it. I see evo uses /dev/pilot which I can simply sym link to.
Thanks.
