I just posted a new version of GedStar-Plus, V5.2. The main difference is
that the Palm application now supports the extended 320x480 screen
resolution that is available on the Tungsten T3, some Sony's, and the Garmin
iQue. However, it also includes a new version of GenBridge that might fix
some of the data import problems.

I doubt that Wholly Genes has gotten the new version up on their site yet,
so existing users can go to www.gedstar.com and get the new version from the
Download pages there.

Another thing is that GedStar-Plus will not handle custom naming formats. So
if you use something other than the standard "Surname", "Given", etc. that
will be a problem. Since 4.0d did not work the same as 5.11 in this regard,
maybe the import from 4.0d to 5.11 has made this issue show up.
