ChangeName
With ChangeName you can set/change the PalmOS UserName (the HotSyncName) and the UserID directly on your PalmOS device. You can also fake the FlashRomSerialNumber and the OS Version (string). Normally you set/change the UserName with the PalmDesktop (Win/Mac) or install-user (Un*x/Linux). ChangeName also includes a program for MS Windows to show all user in the PalmDesktop user database (users.dat) and it allows to change a user name on the desktop. For more information check my PalmDevZone.

-
added a color icon (some many color devices out there)
removed palm_id program (doesn't work with the current PalmDesktop!)
-
added ChUserName to the PalmName package!
-
changed name to ChangeName because of bad email from Palm Inc. concerning the trademark Palm in the old name
(PalmName) of this program.
-
Now the fake values (for ROM ID and OS version string) survive a soft reset!
So the people can use ChangeName to get a unique id at PalmNet (Mobile Internet) with a mask rom device.
