Upgrade information
If you already own a Palm OS ® handheld, Handspring recommends
that you install the version of Palm Desktop software that comes with
your Visor handheld 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 update the HotSync Manager on
your computer.
You perform HotSync operations in exactly the same way, so you can
quickly synchronize your old data with your new handheld.
