    I see.
    
    The newer application is called Memos with an "s" and the database is

    Interesting.  Is there some way I can be informed when that goes into CVS?
    I'm eager to try it.

    Erie. Is the data mirrored into both databases by any chance?  I sync my 31K
    memo from jpilot to my TX, and it showed up in memos, but then I
    pilot-xfer'd MemoDB.pdb off, and it had 4K of my memo.
