    TRG releases AutoCFPosted By: Larry Garfield on Friday, June 30, 2000 4:26:35 AM
Mike Walter of TRG announced today on PalmStation.com the release of AutoCF, the long-awaited software add-on to the TRGpro that allows you to access databases and programs directly off a CF card. TRGpro users can get the free download here. It requires that you have already upgraded to OS 3.5.1, which TRGpro users can do for free here. I've tried it, and it's really slick. I moved all my TealDoc files and TealInfo files to my CF card and they accessed just fine. There's very small increase in the time it takes to access but it's only a fraction of a second's difference. Also note that TRG's 3.5.1 upgrade is FREE, whereas there have been rumors that Palm will charge users for upgrades on their devices, and also addresses the DRAM issue that TRG discovered (and then told Palm about) while testing the AutoCF program. Chalk up two more for TRG.

 Offtopic: Palm OS'es
How come TRG owners now can upgrade to Palm OS 3.5.1, while we Palm'ers still are officially stuck at 3.3 ( although most have grabbed 3.5 off the net somewhere) ? It's time that Palm either releases 3.5 or atleast tells us why it is delayed. This "stick the head in sand and hope no-one notices" approach is poor business. We've all heard about the memory-leak, but surely that is something that is easy to fix.

But then i read in docs that i can move moth .PRC's to
FlashROM. I did it and.... Oooops !!! TRG crashed !
When i tried to reset it using a clip it hanged again.
Etc... etc... etc....
I restored from latest backup on CF and then installed
AutoCF again. Now everything is ok.
Don't trust to TRG sentence in docs:- "Both AutoCF and
AutoCF Extension can be moved to flash using FlashPro" - it is not true !
Baudy.
