As I thought my bad english make my email not very clear.

I try to be more clear.

We are using the official iSync conduit called "Apple" to synchronize a
variety of handheld devices with
the official Apple application "iCal" and "Address Book".

Using Apple Script we're trying to pick the events changed (added events,
changed events, deleted events) on my PDA.
As you know the iCal events are stored in a file "corestorage.ics" and
investingating it we discovered that ONLY added events
are timestamped and so we can easily pick them while we have nothing to pick
changed and deleted events.

What about the Sync Manager's function readNextModifiedRec ?

How can I use it ?

We haven't to write a new conduit but we use the "Apple" conduit.


Thank you for your reply.
