Palm wireless networking via IrDA
Authored by: ars on Oct 07, '03 07:44:17PM

I was very interested in this hint to get Avantgo via a network sync on my Titanium powerbook. The script as posted got messed up: end of line characters, shellreturn ? "" (where the ? should be >). I figured out what to do with those, but the script still balked at:(offset of ("/dev/" & irda_device_name) in shellreturn) > 0
and I am not sure what it supposed to test for. When I cut it out I got the shell to run and doing the manual grep in the terminal it shows an .IR program running. Unfortunately my Visor Pro seems not able to connect via IR toPC/Handheld. Do I need to fill out a username and password in the Network panel?

Offset command

If you're having a problem with the "offset" command then check you have: System/Library/ScriptingAdditions/StandardAdditions.osax

Offset command+got it to work
Authored by: ars on Oct 09, '03 08:25:34PM

Yes,
I do not have the StandardAdditions.osax. Is this part of Applescript studio? I got it to work anyhow. My error was that on my Visor I had reused an unused network connection and not deleted the login script. Once I reduced the script to contain only "end" it worked. It was kind of slow, but it worked. I had tried Plucker and ISiloX to get the NYT and that kind of worked, but Plucker was even slower and both Plucker and IsiloX produce low quality NYT pages compared to Avantgo. Thanks for the hint
