The Debian package is version 0.9.3, from
ftp://ryeham.ee.ryerson.ca/pub/PalmOS/pilot-link.0.9.3.tar.gz
pi-version.h in this distribution says version 0.9.4 (I don't know why,
and I don't want to change it since other programs may be looking for
that version number).  That's the source of the version number Micah
reported.  The Debian package has a number of bugfixes applied to it as
well; is anyone working on an updated release of pilot-link?
