FirstClass(R) Palm Sync 8.306 readme for Mac OS X
The FirstClass Palm Sync is copyright 2007 by Open Text Corporation.
FirstClass supports Palm™ Computing connected organizers (organizers, handhelds, or devices), and other handheld devices running Palm OS 3.1 and higher, and using Palm Desktop 4.1 and higher on Windows and Mac OS X.
Using the Palm HotSync® Manager 4.0 and higher (Windows), Palm HotSync® Manager 3.0 and higher (Mac OS X), and FirstClass Palm conduits you can bi-directionally synchronize your contact entries and calendar entries, mail, tasks, and memos between your Palm connected organizer and your FirstClass server. Synchronization can be done from any Windows or Mac OS X computer that has the Palm Desktop organizer software and FirstClass Palm Sync installed. You must install the Palm Desktop software on your computer before you can install the FirstClass Palm conduits.
You are free to install and distribute this software providing it is distributed in its entirety and no modifications are made. All other rights are reserved by Open Text Corporation.

C. Installation
1 Download the attached FCPALM8306.dmg into a temporary folder.
2 Double click it and follow the onscreen instructions.
3 The installer asks "PalmOne ships new Personal Information Management applications with their new devices. (Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Memos). Does your Palm device contain these applications?". If you select "Yes", the conduits will be installed to synchronize with the new application. A device with older Palm PIM applications will not be able to sync through this desktop machine. Likewise, if you select "No" and install for the older PIM applications, the FirstClass conduits will only sync the shadow databases of the new PalmOne devices. The new fields found in the new applications will not be synchronized.
If you are using one of the newer Palm devices (Zire 31, Zire 72, Tungsten E, Tungsten, T3, Tungsten T5, Treo 650 ) with the new Contacts application then you should select the Palm Contacts form in your FirstClass Preferences.
Note: The Mac OS X installer may not install the FCSetup.prc file properly. If this happens you will need to manually install the program to your Palm device. The FCSetup.prc will be copied to /Users/Documents/<your mac username>/Palm/Users folder. Double-clicking on FCSetup.prc should bring up the Palm Quick install.

D. Features and Fixes
- Upgrade from pre 8.3 conduits now implemented. When the first 8.3 conduit registers in the user's Preferences (minimum 8.3 client required), an upgrade flag will be set. When the conduit runs and finds this flag it will use the old syncids and last sync time, used by the previous version of the conduits, if they're there. This will only happen after the first sync.
- All three types of Conflict Resolution Policies are now supported. Duplicate, Server Wins and Device Wins.
- The conduits now use the FirstClass Preferences form to store device information.
- The OS X conduits are now universal binary versions.
- The conduits now work with MarkSpace Missing Sync version 5 and above as well as HotSync on OSX.
- Fixed crash after Missing Sync finished synching.
- The 8.3 conduits issue an error message now if the user tries to connect to an 8.2 or older FirstClass Server.
- Events time zone bug fixed.
- Check added to make sure DeviceId properly retrieved from Palm.
- Change Conduit_Name so FirstClass starts each name. The FirstClass conduits will now be grouped together when viewing in Missing Sync.
***********************************
E. Known Issues
- Palm Task repeats cannot be supported on FirstClass.
- Palm Memos are limited to 4K on Palms with the Memo Pad application and 32K on Palm devices with the Memos application.
- Contacts the Palm Contacts picture image is not synched (PalmOne T5 Contacts).
- Contacts subtree synching does not work yet.
- Two Palm devices of the same type cannot synch to the same user account. i.e.; Two Treo 650s cannot synch with the same account. But for example a Treo 650, a Tungsten T5 and a Tungsten TX could all synch with the same user account.
- On the Preferences Handheld tab, fields "Synchronize only after date:" and "Next synchronization type" are not supported.
