No, but I haven't tried for a while.
Apple's iSync appears to be a CFM stub conduit (built with Codewarrior)
linked against the Hotsync library which dynamically loads the "real" Mach-O
conduit, which is presumably built with gcc/PB.
It may be possible to build the same sort of stub using MPW (a free
download, but it only runs in Classic) however Palm's Hotsync library
contains C++ code and Apple don't have a standard CFM ABI for C++, so things
may not work well.
To illustrate, I built a Mach-O conduit that used CFBundle to load the CFM
Hotsync library, but CoreFoundation didn't appear to run the C++ static
constructors in the library and as a result the interesting part of the
library just returned errors. Trivial calls into the library worked though!
Building CFM stuff with MPW seemed like a lot of hard work and I never got
around to trying to build a CFM stub with MPW...
Cheers,
Chris
