 What does Conduit Buddy do?

Currently, Conduit Buddy is a tool to install/uninstall the conduits on your PC. In most cases, it is the Palm application's responsibility to install the conduits they used, but sometimes we want our Palm application to synchronize with some different desktop applications. For example, we want the conduit to synchronize both the Outlook address book and the Palm Desktop address book. We have no way to do that now. Because HotSync Manager doesn't allow one Palm application to synchronize with multiple desktop application with multiple conduits. By using Conduit Buddy, we can install/uninstall the conduits dynamically and then do the synchronization.

How to install/uninstall conduits using Conduit Buddy?

To install a new conduit, just click the "install" button on the dialog, select a conduit dll and install it. To uninstall a conduit, select the conduit in the listview, then click "uninstall" button on the dialog. The installed conduit has a white hammer image and the uninstalled conduit has a black hammer image in the listview. To install a conduit you uninstalled previously, click the "properties" button, then install it.

Or you can find some well known conduit information here.

 What else should I do before HotSync?

After you have installed/uninstalled the conduits, the HotSync Manager need to be restarted to make the install/uninstall effective. Or you will not see the change in the HotSync Manager's custom conduit dialog.
