No, -L, --Listall dies same way. With my Palm it's 7 databases. I'm sure
I have more.

them.

I think uvisor(4) need some serious work.

I solved this by purchasing Bluetooth USB dongle and I'm sending files
from/to Palm to PC over Bluetooth, and doing backups to memory card.

Vis jaky je rozdil mezi pokusem a experimentem? Pokus by byl, kdyby se
reklo, ze od zitra se bude jezdit vlevo. A experiment, pokud by se to
reklo jen nekomu.
