The BOOKMAN ® Sidekick ® Connectivity software is a powerful tool
for sending information between your BOOKMAN Sidekick
and your personal computer. Before you can send information,
you must first link the files that you want to either transfer or merge.
The simplest and quickest way to combine
all your linked BOOKMAN Sidekick and PC Sidekick files
is to use the Merge All option. To perform more complicated transfers or
merges of individual pairs of linked files, use the Advanced Transfer option.
If you make a mistake when transferring or merging files, you can
easily recover your most recently transferred or merged PC Sidekick files.
In addition, for storage and safety, you can back up and restore
all the files from your BOOKMAN Sidekick to your computer,
even if you do not have PC Sidekick.
