Re: Two issues with Contacts in Pimlical v1.3.14

I think Bert meant to post this in Pimlical group. But no, Pimlical does 
not read Google contacts. Companion Link will sync information between 
Pimlical and Google. Actually I have not tried this, I'm a registered 
Companion Link user but it used to need Palm Desktop user name; my 
computer crashed and I haven't re-loaded it but it was posted that now 
you don't need the Palm Desktop user name, just the databases and it 
will sync.
