Reading Pilot-db databases isn't hard. Writing them might be - I
haven't tried. But I can make my lispme package for reading Pilot-db
databases available if anyone wants it.

[pilot-db-list] new mailing list: pilot-db-bugs

[Scott W. <swa...@my...>]

Hello everyone,

	I've set up a new mailing list for DB: 'pilot-db-bugs'.  If you
could direct bug reports to this list it will hopefully keep them from
getting lost amongst the other postings on pilot-db-list.

	Thanks,

[<Uwe...@t-...>]

Hi all and especially developers of Pilot-DB,

There is usually some overlapping between the functions of
a database and e.g. a spreadsheet:
Simple database tasks can be done using a spreadsheet and
simple spreadsheet tasks can be done using a database.

But there's enough tasks left where a coupling between them would be nice.

AFAIK up to now all applications and programming environments on the
palm supply their own data storage facilities and databases (like pilot-db)
try to supply programming facilities.

So what about providing a (hig level) programming api on the Palm
to enable other (Palm-) applications and first of all programming
environments (for example SmallBasic) to access (pilot-db) databases.

Ofcouse the developers of those other applications need to be
invited to join, so which should be addressed?

See you,
    Uwe

[pilot-db-list] Using different fonts on a Clie

[John B. <ho...@jr...>]

I've installed X-Master and the Swiz fonts on my Clie SL10, and get very
attractive small fonts on all my other applications except Pilot-DB,
where I get very blocky fonts, and in one case a really ugly all-caps
font. Varying the Clie central and Pilot-DB internal Hi-Res settings
makes no difference.

Can anyone tell what display fonts Pilot-DB uses, and how I can
substitute them?

Thanks

[pilot-db-list] Mathlib support disabled

[Robert W M. <RW...@sy...>]

Using pilot-link 0.11.5, on RH8.0 I installed db-standard.prc to a Palm 505.

Launching DB raises the error message " Mathlib support disabled".  Then the 
Palm crashes and reboots successfully.

Uninstalled DB-standard  and tried DB version 1.0.3.  This also usually 
crashed except that on one occasion I was permitted to start creating a 
database.  However, I was never able to open it.  The Palm would crash.

Help would be appreciated.

Hmm.  Does "(sort 0 1)(+ %1 (ffr 2 -1 -80))" work?

The third value in the 'ffr' is the default value.  Its what is used when 
an appropriate record can't be found.  In this case, that should only be 
for the very first record in the sorted order.  So it seems like the only 
problem may be that this script will never allow you to reset to -80 once 
you get paid....If that's important, an extra field might be necessary...

[pilot-db-list] Little Help with a calculated field

[Dan D <mt...@ho...>]

I currently have a calculated field in my Overtime Database that keeps track 
of my overtime at my client.  Basically I have the 2nd field added to the 
privious total to have a running total.  I only get paid once I go over 80 
hrs of overtime so I wanted to start my total at -80.  How would I do that?  
The way mine currently works is by "(sort 0 1)(+ %1(ffr 2-1 0))".  I tried 
putting it like this "(sort 0 1)(+ %1(ffr 2-1 0)-80)".  But that minused 80 
to ever value so after the first couple weeks I had like -640 hrs of 
overtime.;-)

Any Help would be appreciated.

Ciao Dan

Again, great program.

Perhaps such questions could be avoided, if the

included in the web sites manual section and the downloads?!

Re: [pilot-db-list] Float in Pilot-Db

[Scott W. <swa...@my...>]

Sure,

	A 'Float' is a number, like an integer, but it can contain a 
decimal point.  Integers are restricted to  
{...,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4... }

	Whereas floats describe a much larger set of numbers 
(1.23, .00023, 1000.245323, etc).

	Both Integers and Floats have specific MAXIMUM and MINIMUM values, 
if these values are violated, odd things will happen (such as a very large 
integer becoming very small, or negative).


	Hope this helps,

Re: [pilot-db-list] Alternative to pilot-db-tools?

What about http://jpilot-db.sourceforge.net
There's a gui and command line utilities all done in Java.  I'd like help if anyone is interested.  Mostly I need feedback.  I started doing MDI type application like Microsoft Access for accessing PDB files.  But I think maybe I should go to a simpler interface.  All feedback or feature requests would be appreciated.
Even if you think I should just shut down the project, ANY feedback is appreciated.

The current release of pilot-db-tools is pretty much crocked if you

and worked just fine on BSD.

uhh, I have emacs installed but I can't seem to find the .emacs file,
