Upgrade Information

If you already own a PalmPilot™ organizer or Palm III™ organizer,
3Com recommends that you install the version of Palm Desktop
software that comes with your new Palm V organizer into the same
folder as your current Palm Desktop software. When you install the
new version in the same folder as the previous version, all your data
is preserved. If you use another personal information manager (PIM),
you still need to install Palm Desktop software in order to add
HotSync Manager, conduit software, and other features of Palm
Desktop software to your computer.
You perform HotSync operations in exactly the same way, so you can
quickly synchronize your old data with your new organizer.
