Subject: FLUFF: OT (sort of): Sidekick 95 Synch
Libretto folks,
I have a problem someone may have dealt with already. As the user of a
L110CT and an HP 200LX palmtop PC, I have been looking for an easy way to
synch PIM information on both systems. Recently, I acquired IntelliSynch
for HP 200LX (1996 software) via eBay and started using it to synch info
between the HP built in PIM apps and Starfish Software's Sidekick 95 (part
of Corel WordPerfect Suite 7 for Win 95) installed on the L110 (running Win
98). IntelliSych has work perfectly interacting with these systems (as
well as my office Dell), but I have had some behavior problems with
Sidekick 95 itself (unrelated to synch activities).
Perusal of the Corel website turned up an extensive area of tech documents
concerning accessories that come with WP Suite, including Sidekick. It
turns out that the problems I discovered are due to the fact that Sidekick
95 is not Year 2000 compliant, though it is stated that there are "updates
to the Sidekick 95 program...available on Starfish's website...that will
allow the Sidekick program to become Year 2000 compliant." However, the
Starfish site no longer has these files available for download and
contacting a tech support person about this did not result in any help ("we
don't provide support for discontinued items beyond what you can get off
the website"). SO, do any of you Sidekick 95 users have the update files
needed for Y2K compliance? I do have a copy of Lotus Organizer 2.12 here
which works fine with IntelliSych for HP 200LX, so if I can't get Sidekick
95 working smoothly, at least I have an alternative, but before I give up
on this one, perhaps someone on the list has the files needed to solve this
problem.
Thanks,
Martin G. Ramirez
