[coldsync-hackers] owner string

[Tom Holroyd <tomh@po.crl.go.jp>]

I just got my laptap to do a coldsync with my Visor over infrared --
whohoo!

Unfortunately it reset the Visor's nickname so the next time I did a
HotSync on the Windows box it created a new user and I managed somehow to
get it to sync with an empty database, zeroing out the Visor.  Fortunately
I still have everything on the laptop...

If there is no "pda" entry in the .coldsyncrc, maybe it would be a good
idea to honor the PDA's nickname & userid instead of resetting it with the
Unix userid?

I tried creating a username with a user id of '1' but it showed up on the
Windows box as a duplicate user.  (How did it know it wasn't the same?
The userid?)

The old nickname seems to be stored in Unsaved Preferences.prc,
perhaps I could extract it somehow and put that info into the .coldsyncrc
file?  Where is the userid?

Cheers,
