[missing-sync-palmos-dev-talk] Problems with Carbon compilation

[Dustin Doan]

Hi Scott,
  Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.  I looked at my
Info.plist, it was nearly identical to the one you sent, including the
entries for package type and signature. I tried renaming the file to a
.bundle file and all of a sudden the OS recognized it as a file which
i could then import into the missing sync conduit list. What confuses
me at this point is why my compiled .plugin file is thought of as a
folder while the current MarkSpaceMemoPad conduit, which also has a
.plugin extension, is not. Also, when I get info on the
SampleMachOConduit.bundle file it's entry in the "Kind:" field reads
"Bundle" and it's icon is empty, while the entry for any other conduit
in my list reads "SampleMachOConduit.bundle Document" and has a
Missing Sync icon. The only exception to this is the
MarkSpaceMemoPadConduit.plugin file which reads "Missing Sync for Palm
OS document", the entry i would expect. What am i missing here?

Dustin
