Upgrade Information
If you already own a Palm Computing ® handheld, we recommend
that you install the version of Palm Desktop software that comes with
your new Palm IIIc organizer into the same folder as your current
Palm Desktop software. When you install the new version in the same
folder as the previous version, all your data is preserved. If you use
another personal information manager (PIM), you still need to install
Palm Desktop software in order to add HotSync Manager, conduit
software, and other features of Palm Desktop software to your
computer.
You perform HotSync operations in exactly the same way, so you can
quickly synchronize your old data with your new organizer.
