of CoPilot, you do not need to do this.
In order to successfully transfer data from your desktop to your Pocket PC,
you must have Microsoft ActiveSync 3.1 (or later) installed. This software is
necessary to connect the two machines and is provided by your Pocket PC
manufacturer. If you did not receive this software with your mobile device,
contact the distributor immediately.
