Short: Connect Amiga with Palm PDA Author: Richard Koerber, Steven Solie Uploader: Steven Solie Type: util/libs Version: 3.1 Architecture: ppc-amigaos >= 4.0.3 INTRODUCTION ------------ PdaLink is based on the PilotLink software by Kenneth Albanowski. It is not just a Un*x port and has been written from scratch. PilotLink is very memory consuming. Each layer allocates a new buffer, adds the layer headers and trailers to this buffer and then copies the data from the previous layer to the new layer. PdaLink has only one buffer for the data and all the headers. It does not require multiple copies of the data and is therefore faster and consumes less memory. Richard Koerber does not have the time to improve PdaLink any further. So he decided to make its source code public. What you have here is the latest, previously unreleased version of PdaLink. It has been ported to AmigaOS 4.0 native and contains some bug fixes and minor improvements.
