Seeing that they discuss the restrictions of data size on the Palm, I
strongly suspect that the file format is their own proprietary, and that
simply joining two files together is unlikely to work. What may work is
for you to borrow a MS-Windows PC, get the 30-day evaluation copy for
Windows, download to there, join the data (if Fitnesslogs allows), and
copy back to the Palm -- being very, very careful not to overwrite your
original data....

They talk about export to MS-Excel, but not import from, so that's an
unlikely solution. Two more possibilities: Find someone who writes
programs for PalmOs and ask if there's a commonly used database format
that another program may be able to read, or dump the data and persuade
someone with tools to poke inside binary files to have a look. If you can
figure out my email address and send a smallish file I'd spend a few
minutes poking at it. Neither of these has a high probability of success.
Don't ask me about PalmOs, MacOs or /Windoze though, I'm a Unix/Linux type.
