Upgrade information
If you already own a WorkPad companion, install the version of Palm
Desktop for IBM WorkPad that comes with your new WorkPad c3
companion into the same folder as your current Palm Desktop for IBM
WorkPad software. All your data will be preserved when you install
the new version in the same folder as the previous version. If you use
another personal information manager (PIM), such as Microsoft
Outlook, you still need to install the most recent HotSync Manager
and conduit software from the Palm Desktop software for IBM
WorkPad CD-ROM that came with your new companion.
You can perform HotSync operations in exactly the same way, so you
can quickly synchronize your data with your new companion. Just
remember to synchronize your old companion with Palm Desktop for
IBM WorkPad before you synchronize with your new companion, so
you have all your latest information. When you synchronize your
companion for the first time, select the Desktop overwrites handheld
option for all the conduits. See “Customizing HotSync application
settings” in Chapter 6 for more information.
