Palm Desktop software for IBM WorkPad

your WorkPad c3 companion to your computer and serves to back up
all your data. Viewing and editing your data using Palm Desktop for

WorkPad c3 companion and the built-in HotSync technology, you can
fully synchronize the information on your WorkPad c3 companion
with the information on your computer.

both places after you synchronize.

stored on your companion.
