Hello-

Has anyone gotten kpilot1.1b to work under -current? I took a stab at it, 
but I wasn't able to get it to link cleanly.  I figure that the various 
hacks I had to do to get it that far finally sabotaged me, so now I will
have to defer to those more experienced in these things.

Part of the README file is reproduced below, to satisfy the curious and to
(hopefully) entice someone with more clues than I (most anyone) to do the
hard work :)

	KPilot is software for syncing the 3Com Palm Pilot and IBM
Workpad (UNTESTED!) with a machine running some flavor of unix. The
actual PC->PP communcations was originally based on pilot-link.0.8.7.
By default it attempts to connnect using /dev/pilot which should be a
link to the actual serial port, however this is configurable in the
settings dialog. 

	This is the second release of KPilot, The have been a few bug
fixes (most notably the compile problem a lot of people were
experiencing), some cosmetic changes, and signifcant rewrite and
expanding of the syncing capabilities.  Current features include:

		o Full Backup/Restore capabilities of Palm Pilot
		o File (prc,pdb) installation
		o Email syncing capabilities (via POP3 & sendmail)
	      * o SmartSync backing up modified data even
			for databases KPilot doesn't recognize
	      * o Import/Export to/from virtually any text format for
			Addresses.
	      * o Import/Export to/from text files for memos
	      * o Simple to use API to allow developers to add custom
		        widgets to KPilot's display.
	      * o Docs.  :)

		(* = new in v1.1)

Thank you for your attention,

-Ben
