-KPILOT 4.2.1 by Dan Pilone
-===========================
- Additional work by Robert Ambrose,
- Preston Brown, Adriaan de Groot,
- Heiko Purnhagen, Jorg Habenicht,
- and probably many more.
-
- KPilot is software for syncing the 3Com Palm Pilot, Palm III, IIIe,
-IIIc, IIIx, V, Vx, M100, Handspring Visor and IBM Workpad with a machine
-running some flavor of unix. The actual PC->PP communcations was originally
-based on pilot-link.0.8.7, though you should use pilot-link.0.9.3 now.
-By default KPilot attempts to connnect using /dev/pilot which should be
-a link to the actual serial port, however this is configurable in the
-settings dialog.
-
- This is the second release of KPilot 4.x, the first version of
-KPilot that works with and under KDE2. It is released as part of KDE 2.2.
-
-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
-=========================
-
- The file ../README contains minimal information on how to compile
-and install KPilot. Since KPilot is part of the kdepim package, you
-should also have the INSTALL file for kdepim, probably in ../../INSTALL.
-
- This README file only contains the release notes for KPilot 4.2.1.
-
-UPGRADING FROM OLDER KPILOTS
-============================
-
-The first time you run KPilot 4.2.1, it will automatically display
-the setup screen and you can check all the configuration settings.
-If you used KPilot 3.x, you should also immediately configure all your
-conduits (again) because many things have changed there.
-
-CURRENT FEATURES
-================
- * Conduit for abbrowser (experimental).
- * Conduit for expenses (experimental).
- * Improved international-character support.
- o Conduit for KNotes (still experimental).
- o Now a KDE2 application.
- o Plug in conduit support, currently including
- KOrganizer, todolist, null and PopMail
- o Hot-Sync daemon. - Now hot-sync with just the push of the
- Hot-Sync button on your cradle. No need to launch KPilot.
- o Add/Delete/Edit memos.
- o Add/Delete/Edit addresses.
- o Full Category support for both memos and addresses.
- o KPilot now respects secret data.
- o More configuration options including port speed and
- docking control.
- o Now supports signature files for email.
- o Drag and drop to docked icon for file install.
- o International Support
- o Full Backup/Restore capabilities of Palm Pilot
- o File (prc,pdb) installation
- o Email syncing capabilities (via POP3 & sendmail)
- o SmartSync backing up modified data even
- for databases KPilot doesn't recognize
- o Import/Export to/from virtually any text format for
- Addresses.
- o Import/Export to/from text files for memos
- o Sort and display addresses in different ways
- o A null conduit (programming example)
- o Syncing with UNIX mailboxes
- o Database dispositions (sync, backup only, or ignore)
-
-(* = new in this release)

-KNOWN BUGS

-
-Please check with that database before reporting bugs.

-STANDARD DISCLAIMER, WARNINGS, ETC..
-====================================
- THIS SOFTWARE HAS BUGS. Use at your own risk. It has not even
-been tested anywhere but on my machine and only with my Palm Pilot. I
-have been using it against XCopilot for development then verifying it
-works with a real pilot with my Palm Pilot Professional running OS v2.0.4.
-It works with Adriaan's Palm V running PalmOS 3.5 as well.
-I make no claims that it will work, or even try to work. I take no
-responsibility for any data loss, damage, etc. done by this software.
-ie: Should your pilot burst into flames while trying to sync a new game..
-sorry.
- That being said, I _really_ want comments regarding the software
-as well as suggestions. Bug fixes are even snazzier and code
-contributions are welcome. :)
