What is ColdSync?ColdSync is a tool for synchronizing Palm OS devices (PalmPilot, Palm V, Qualcomm PDQ, etc.) with Unix workstations. This is an open source project, and is free for both commercial and non-commercial use, under the terms of the Artistic license.You do not need to install any extra utilities on the Palm to use ColdSync; just build ColdSync and run it: coldsync -p /dev/pilot See the description for details. ColdSync is not the only free Palm synchronization tool, nor the most featureful. Rather, it aims to be stable, reliable, portable, and configurable in a "Unixy" sort of way. ColdSync is not a graphical application. This is a feature. It means that you don't need to be logged in to synchronize your data.
