Yes, I use db-en-light.prc, as I have a Palm III & prefer the b/w 
display. I did get an error when I installed the db-en after the hot-
sync. I should also mention that I am running Mandrake/JPilot on my 
desktop (JPilot uses pilot-xfer, correct?). & I did try deleting all 
things pertaining to pilot-db & then reinstalling beta 8, but the 
problem persisted.

The db-en-light version also had some other interesting effects:

1) All the categories of preexisting db tables were changed 
to "unfiled".

2) The 3rd-party tables you offer for download also cannot be read by 
the new version.

3) The http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pilot-db/db-MobileDB.prc 
plugin doesn't work. I assumed that the plugins under 1.0.0 were for 
the beta 8, as opposed to the 0.3.2beta2 plugins. I attempted 
rescanning for databases, but my mobiledb files didn't appear.

4) I tried the 0.3.2 db-tools to export one of my existing tables to 
csv & back to pdb, hoping that would make it readable by beta 8 without 
the crashing error, but to no avail.

But . . . I could reinstall beta 1 over beta 8 & resume work on my 
existing files. But I really want to make use of the new field types, 
as they are quite exciting. Thank you for all your work on this 
wonderful program.
