2.4 Transfer to your Palm

After you ran the parser on your system it will generate a database for you, that is a file suitable for the viewer. Of course you need to transfer this database to your handheld. By default we suggest the usage of pilot-xfer. pilot-xfer is one of the tools (more or less the central tool) of the famous pilot-link package which is available for numerous platforms. For Unix and OS/2 you might find both the binary and the source distribution at

ftp://ryeham.ee.ryerson.ca/pub/PalmOS/

for Windows please have a look at Thilo Christs port at

http://linux.stud.fh-heilbronn.de/~christ/pilot-xfer

Besides that Plucker offers its own conduit for Windows which cooperates directly with the usual HotSync, and there is as well a perl-based conduit available which you can still use to transfer the data (though you might only want to use it in very special circumstances, and in fact we discourage its usage).
