    Are your pc3 files 0 bytes in size?  There could be a bad record getting 
    added to the palm at sync time.

    These are unofficial versions, so I don't have a way to see what changed 
    in the code between these.

    I just happened to be working on the export of Contacts tonight.  I have 
    the text output done, and should be doing the CVS portion in the morning.

    It isn't a released version of jpilot that is buggy.  It is an 
    incomplete code version out of CVS and should not be in a stable 
    distribution in that state.  I can offer my services and export the pdb 
    files into CSV for you, or I can get the CVS export code working if you 
    can build it from CVS.

    I'm not fully understanding the problem.  Do you have un-synced Contacts 
      in jpilot that you need that are not on the Palm?
