Re: GUI address tool



I would LOVE a sun pim that wrote the pilot format.  I think many people
in my research group would also use it.

A conduit would make it usable, without the sync, it would be just
another pim.  

If it would be as high of quality as the calendar manager, that would be
something that would make my day the day it comes out.
