    Some support modules you may need:

    The Programs

    GenCond.dll/GenCn20.dll
    is the heart of the Conduit Manager system
    CondMgr.exe
    is a VB app to manage the installation and removal of GenCond conduits
    cbasView.exe
    is a VB app to view, create or delete entries for the cbasPad application
    DinkyVw.exe
    is a VB app to view, create, delete, import, export/save or print entries for the DinkyPad Pilot application
    DinkVwA.dll
    contains support services for DinkyVw.exe; it must be in the same directory as DinkyVw.exe
    MoneyVw.exe
    is a VB app to view Pilot Money data on your PC. This app is the result of the combined efforts of Jeremy Laurenson and myself. Jeremy (SingerSoft) has released his version, so I have renamed mine to MoneyVw to distinguish it.

    The GenCond.dll requires MSVCRT40.DLL The VB programs require VB40032.DLL & OLEPRO32.DLL. T

    New App Note

    If you have installed the GCM13 (HotSync 1.0 version), you can back up Dovcom's really nice PAL (Pilot Application Launcher). Go to the Conduit Manager, and select Install/InstallNewConduit. Set Because this app uses categories, and the generic conduit does not support category merging, I recommend that you only sync the data either: PilotToPC or PCtoPilot or (none). This conduit is built-in to GCM23/24

    QuickSheet

    If you are using the QuickSheet program from Cutting Edge, do not bother trying to set up a generic conduit for it; it will not work. Also, if you use the global-backup facility of GCM23/24, you may find QuickSheet .pdb files in your backup directory. Do not bother trying to send these back to the Pilot. They are (effectively) useless.

    Cutting Edge will release a proper conduit for this program in the near term, probably Q2/97.

    DinkyPad Conduit

    If you wish to use the Dinkypad Conduit from RedTail Software, you must 'remove' the DinkyView conduit. It is not enought to set the 'disable' checkbox; you must 'remove' the conduit.

    Extra Step

    If this is the first VB4 app that you have installed in your system, you have to 'register' one of the components.

    Please:

    1. download regsrvr32.exe; copy it to your c:\windows\system
    2. from a DOS box, go to c:\windows\system and run "regsvr32.exe comdlg32.ocx"
