Adding a Conduit

The Add Conduit window enables you to add new conduits to PDA sync. The available conduits come from one of three categories, represented in the pull-down menu:

• Personal Conduits (default) -- Conduits that you may have obtained from the Web or elsewhere.

• System Default -- The default set that the PDA sync application comes with (for example, Calendar, Memo, Address). You should use conduits from this category to replace any defaults that have been deleted.

• System Additions -- Any third-party conduits added automatically through packages. The following default directory is a repository for your personal conduits (/home/user/PDASync/PalmPilot/conduits). The Add button adds the selected file(s) to the list of conduits on the Conduits tab. The choices under the File Type pull-down menu are:

  • All Files.

  • .JAR files -- This file type is the most likely option for a conduit.

  • .ZIP files -- This file type is a less likely option for a conduit.

  • .CLASS files -- Load files of this type only if your conduit vendor explicitly advises you to do so.
