Re: Syncing with StarOffice

["Derek R. Pizzagoni" <derekp@xxxxxxxx>]

The included pilot support in StarOffice only syncs the Calendar, the Tasks, and the
Address Book with the equivalent StarOffice components.

It falls short on a few items:
1. No memo support
2. No conduit backup support
3. Calendar alarms are not transferred between pilot and desktop
4. Phone numbers and e-mail addresses end up in random fields on the desktop.
5. Related categories are not transferred properly.

I'm sure there are more issues, but these are the ones I found within the first hour or so
of using it.
