//geoff collyer ported the unix tools for palm...

yes, i've seen them, but to the best of my knowledge (and i
could well be wrong here, and would be happy to find i am),
that doesn't allow for importing and exporting to arbitrary
text files. as near as i can tell, that still involves some
sort of "conduit" into some host app like Outlook™.

i saw the tools you'd been working on, and they looked quite
promising. i think that would be my prefered option here.
i'd be interested in helping improve that.

i'd also used your icq client (and helped fix a bug with
status reporting or something), but - much to my dismay - the
most popular one of these clients among my target audience is
AIM. for that, last i checked only one of their two protocols
was published, and they were phasing out support for that, as
well as engaging in various other checks to inhibit 3rd party
clients from connecting.
