PilotOnBe Porting Efforts

  1. Work has proceeded from earliest times to port the pilot-link software to the BeOS. (The Pilot-link package is complete set of *nix tools for the Pilot. As of March 9, 1998, the latest version is pilot-link.0.8.11, and is available at ftp://ryeham.ee.ryerson.ca/pub/PalmOS/

  2. The historical efforts, involving work by Marc Abramson and Jon Ragnarsson, are detailed here.

  3. Andrew Kimpton, a developer-evangelist at Be successfully ported pilot-link.0.8.9 to the BeOS. It's available on BeWare in contrib/develop/pilot-link.zip

  4. Andrew is at work on a "Be HotSync like application with extensions (add-ons) for different PIMS, Calendars and the like."

  5. A quick build of pilot-xfer (one of the applications from the pilot-link package), using Andrew's shared library, is available at here.

  6. A snapshot of a calendar application, which is waiting for Andrew's "Be HotSync like application," is available here.
