When I re-formatted my hard drive It turns out that I did not save off her
PDA stuff and then her PDA happened to be out of batteries so now that data
is gone. I managed to find the data with my data recovery software but the
address.dat file is corrupted....but I did find the address.bak (backup?)
file which contains the same data but my PDA software will not acknowledge
it.....so now I can not figure out how to restore the data....

I am wondering what the .bak file actually is and how can I use this file to
get the data back into the Palm OS software so I can get it back into my
PDA.  I have tried just renaming the file to .dat but that does not work

it is a Handspring Visor Neo if that helps

thanks....I would love to post something on topic but my Rocc has been off
the road for the season since Early October and my winter Rocc has no
redeeming qualities except that for 275$ this thing just keeps on running
making my 80 mile round trip to work every day.

thanks....I don't know where else to send these questions
