This chapter describes how to synchronize information on your
Newton device with information on your computer.

About synchronization

Synchronization lets you keep applications on your Newton device up-to-date
with applications on your computer. For example, you might have a calendar
application on your computer that you want to keep current with your Newton
Dates application.

When you synchronize, the Newton Connection Utilities compare information
from a file on your computer with information in your Newton application.
Then the information in both places is combined and updated based on the
latest changes.

You can synchronize your Newton applications with a number of popular PIM
(personal information manager) applications. For a list of applications you
can use to synchronize, see the Readme file installed with the Newton
Connection Utilities software.

Your Newton device cannot synchronize files created by word-processing
applications. You can use the import or export features to transfer information
between your Newton device and a word-processing file.
