104 Known Bugs
105 The Palm Device has a maximum length of 4,096 bytes (4k) on memopad
106 entries, if you wish to retain the ability to edit the Memo
107 (add/remove/change data within the memo) on the Palm itself. You can
108 create a memo entry of 65,490 bytes in size (the absolute maximum) if
109 you do not need to edit the memo entry any further on the Palm device
110 itself. Any memo larger than 4,096 bytes and less than 65,490 bytes
111 will not be editable on the Palm itself. Consider these memo entries
112 "read-only".
113
114
115 This is not specifically a "bug", but a limitation in the PalmOS design
116 itself.

119 Reporting Bugs
120 We have an online bug tracker. Using this is the only way to ensure
121 that your bugs are recorded and that we can track them until they are
122 resolved or closed. Reporting bugs via email, while easy, is not very
123 useful in terms of accountability. Please point your browser to
124 http://bugs.pilot-link.org: http://bugs.pilot-link.org and report your
125 bugs and issues there.
