Free42: workaround for data export/import - wojtek - 04-22-2016 04:20 PM

Some time ago I was trying Free42 on Palm M515 and TX. The biggest problem was missing export/import for data. I wonder if there is known a workaround to this. I visited Thomas Okken page recently and he has it on todo list but with the very low priority.
On Palm m515 Free42 has over 180KB data/program space and on TX more than 4.5MB, so missing this functionality is a strong limitation.
Any hints?

Unfortunately the Palm OS Free42 version is no more supported.
The only hint - suggested by Thomas here - is to code a matrix into a program.

Thank you, it's a pity that palmOs has been set aside. I'm still using both m515 and tx

Can you use a program like FileZ to transfer the Free42 database to an SD card and use it with the Windows version? You may or may not need to strip the .pdb header off the transferred file; not sure how that would work.
