I really liked how NCK handled synchronization with both the mac and pc
in system 1.3. For system 2.0, RCU can do pretty much the same as NCK
but requires a lot more manual intervention. I'd love to be able to synch
with NCU but haven't figured out how.

-------------------------------------
I use a Newton 120 2.0 and a PC. I have had good results using Lotus
Organizer 2.1 and NCU 1.0. The system works
flawlessly except in the rare case where I get a corrupt record in the
Newton. NCU then tells me and I can go and fix or delete the record. I also
do full back ups with NCU and one such saved me when a package I loaded that
turned out to be for a 2x00 crashed my Newton big time. I also for a time
kept a parallel sync to Outlook '97 using LookOut. This also worked well but
not as quickly as NCU/Lotus Organizer. I use a PC serial cable that came
with my Newton. Anyone that has specific questions about syncing Newton =>
NCU => Lotus Organizer, feel free to contact me at the address below or
through NTLK.
