Dear Laurent
I beg to differ
I spent the weekend messing around with Newten and Nsync on a g3 powerbook
running 10.2 connecting newton with dongle to serial port.
I managed to install the nsync into the newton with newten after a few
attempts and get the people from Names into the mac address book app.
What nsync couldn=B9t do for me was enter entries which were set up as
companies rather that people who may or may not work for companies.
What I cannot do on either my G4 nor my powerbook is to get NCU working.
If you or anyone could help with that, it would be brill
Thanks
