How do I get a 3.0 File Streaming file synchronized with the desktop?

Ans :- The new file streaming API in the Palm OS 3.0 SDK is to allow developers to port existing code without learning the details of how Palm OS databases work. This feature was designed for those developers who do not plan to synchronize databases with the desktop, and simply need to have the database backed up to the desktop. If the intent is for your Palm OS application to synchronize with your desktop application, then using a Palm OS Database is a much more efficient and appropriate tool to use, instead of file streams. (Otherwise the entire file stream would need to be copied to the desktop every time, which would take much longer and would be a bad user experience.) If the developer is going to invest the time to create a conduit, it will be a dramatically better solution if they don’t use the file streaming API since it is not well suited to efficient synchronization.
