Hmm.  Since I haven't started using any Linux PIM SW with my Z,
I can switch to OZ/Opie and KDE apps (for which I gather
kitchensync mostly works), or stick with Sharp 3.1 and hope
(and/or help) for 3.1 to be supported by something someday.

Meanwhile, I'd better keep the backup copy of my Plam data
handy.

True. I owe Sharp an apology.  While I think it was a bad
decision to switch protocols, they aren't being as difficult
about it as Andrew implied on his web site.
