	when you cast an integer as a duration it interprets the 
integer as representing some number of minutes.

	So if you want to take a date, and add a week to it:

	(+ (int %<date-field) <however-many-minutes-are-in-a-week>)

	this results in an integer which can then be displayed as a 
duration, in the obvious way  (i.e. wrap it with '(dur ...)' )

[marc-chalain <mar...@wa...>]

true, in fact the plugins and the main application have the same
CreatorID and PalmOS doesn't know what name to display.

If i must change that i must ask a new CreatorID to Palm Inc and i don't
know when i will have the result.

What do you prefer?

hi 2 all ;-)

on version 1.0.0 i found something i can't understand, formerly using 
db 0.3.3 i build some databases, the update to version 1.0.0 was made 
after i deleted the old version on my palm, and then reinstalled the 
backuped databases.

when changing the database design they can't be rebuild, additionally 
the rebuild can't be done by the menu command, after building a 
complete new database i tried to change the design of this database, 
it doesn't work too.

is ist a bug or something i can't understand ?

using palm 3.5.3 on a palm iiic

so long, ciao hermann

[pilot-db-list] Date fields

[Yeshiah Z. <ye...@ea...>]

the answer I recieved for date diffs
(dur - (int %0) (int %1))

works but is not what I needed.
I need to be able to take a date field,
add x amout of dates to be output as a new date field


something formated like this

(date + (int %0) 7 )   adds 1 week to the previous date
and displays the new date in date format

At the first use of pilot-DB there is a crash, i corrected this bug with

reset by a reset without extension (reset button + Page Up key) and
change the global preferences of DB=2E

I'm sorry for this bug but when we debuged the application, i thought it
came from a memory bug=2E In fact i don't know why there is this bug the C

as it interpret at the normal use=2E

Now there is still some bugs and all features are not supported.

Hi All,

My name is Nick. I've been developing a DB Conduit which is available as a 
free public beta. It is only compatible with version 0.3.2 of DB but it 
will support version 1.0.x later.

If you want to get it, test it etc .. then join this group at yahoo groups:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nixdev

The file section has a PDF install guide and if you browse the messages 
posted already, you'll catch the intro message from me which explains the 
conduit status, and where to download it.

[pilot-db-list] Question about Palm-DB-Tools

[Kaldewey M. <Mal...@pd...>]

Hello,
some times ago I've read something about these tools, and that there where
some graphical versions available (only linux). What is the state of these
work and, is there some windows portation?

I think, to fill a new db with the palm, is work for someone, who has killed
mom and dad.

It runs on M50x now (before it runs only on Handera device).

Re: [pilot-db-list] i corrected bugs

[marc-chalain <mar...@wa...>]

I think it's the best idea.
palm-db-tools should be come soon.

[pilot-db-list] DB 1.0.0 released

[marc-chalain <mar...@wa...>]

i updated the db-1_0_0.zip file on the website with the last
corrections.
If we receive more return before the next monday i will build a version
1.0.1
else i keep all like that.
The corrected bug is not very frequent and i know exactly when it
appeart.

Re: [pilot-db-list] i corrected bugs

[<hol...@di...>]

My suggestion would be to wait till the DB-Tools update is
ready and then to release a version 1.0.1. with the db-tools
version attached, if it is stable.

an x.0.0 version is very often stable, and I think that if we
release a 1.0.1 version, we should be *SURE* that it is stable.

If however the bugs are serious, I would update the 1.0.0 version
and add a remark in the readme file.

I'd suggest waiting at least a week between releases, maybe
two or more.  You don't want to wear yourself out doing daily
repackaging.  Folks who _must_ have the latest can get CVS or
wait.  Or set up an automated daily "bleeding edge" build.

[pilot-db-list] Re: i corrected bugs

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

Hmm, good question.

	I think it depends on the bugs you fixed.  If they are small, and 
they are too bad (won't ruin databases, or require hard reset) maybe its 
ok to re-release as 1.0.0.  

	The only problem with doing this is then next time we get a bug 
report about 1.0.0, it may be unclear as to whether or not your patch was 
installed.  But if we release 1.0.1, so soon, then people might get the 
idea that our releases aren't stable.


	I don't know,  if they aren't critical, maybe we should just wait 
a little bit to see what else happens...

You must wait a little the next version  of Palm-db-tools. This week or
the next i hope.
