Sorry for the delayed response, but busy with the real life and all that 
stuff... I confess that looking in the newsgroups seems to me to be very 
much an act of feeble desperation these days.

With regards to that link it is closer, insofar as it actually is a Palm OS 
application that will run on the Clie, but is not a development tool, nor 
even close. According to the Sony support people (though I admit that I find 
it rather difficult to understand them after they go all polite), when Sony 
stopped selling Palm OS devices, they terminated the license to distribute 
any development tools. They know what I want, they know that there is no 
profit nor loss in it for them, but they will not be of assistance. Of 
course existing Palm applications, including some that have been developed 
for the Clie, still exist at many sources, but that is not helpful for my 
situation. An alternative Japanese PDA would be worth considering, but I've 
pretty much given up any aspiration apart from retaining portable access to 
the data.

It seems likely that some of the people who did development on the Clie may 
still have the relevant files. It gets iffier for such an old device as my 
T600C, however. Still, the current problem is that those people are somewhat 
hard to find these years...
