BUGS
Known Bugs
The Palm Device has a maximum length of 4,096 bytes (4k) on memopad entries, if you wish to retain the ability to edit the Memo
(add/remove/change data within the memo) on the Palm itself. You can create a memo entry of 65,490 bytes in size (the absolute maximum) if
you do not need to edit the memo entry any further on the Palm device itself. Any memo larger than 4,096 bytes and less than 65,490 bytes
will not be editable on the Palm itself. Consider these memo entries "read-only".
This is not specifically a "bug", but a limitation in the PalmOS design itself.
Reporting Bugs
We have an online bug tracker. Using this is the only way to ensure that your bugs are recorded and that we can track them until they are
resolved or closed. Reporting bugs via email, while easy, is not very useful in terms of accountability. Please point your browser to
