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 contain the same information
as your Newton Dates application.

When you synchronize, the Newton Connection Utilities compare information
in the file on your computer with information in your Newton application.
Then the information is combined and updated in both areas 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 Read Me file that comes with the Newton
Connection Utilities.

Your Newton device cannot synchronize files created by word-processing
applications. To transfer information between your Newton device and a
word-processing file, you need to use import or export.
