I would suggest a new, blank Claris Organiser file. I find they corrupt easily. I find I need to decide which machine "rules." Thus, when I do a lot of newton work away from my desk I
come back and load the newton files into a 'clean' organiser file (using the NCU Option to set Newton wins conflicts). Then, after using Organiser on my desk and leaving the
Newton off I reverse the procedure, having the Computer win in a synch. Thus there is always one "true" up-to-date set and I change it by synching.
