Yes, but this is a database for which in most cases (unless there is an
explicit sync conduit for date/DATA) one wants the generic sync conduit
to apply. Hence the generic conduit must be specified explicitely, which
makes it more verbose:

	conduit sync {
		path: "/home/hmo/.palm/conduits/SetSysDateTime.pl";
		type: date/DATA;
	}
	conduit sync {
		path: [generic];
		type: date/DATA;
	}

This isn't an case with the "Saved Preferences" database: this is a PRC
database for which a sync conduit wouldn't do a sensible thing anyway.

I have summarized this on http://www.oldach.net/palmtime.shtml.
