+synchronization method any option that runs the conduits. However, if you use mainly the
+internal viewers, you need to update copy of the databases as well in order to

+While &kpilot; is the front-end for the internal viewers, configuration options

+is not running you can &HotSync; if the daemon is. Therefore, if you want to
+be able to sync your &handheld; at anytime, it is important to start the daemon
+at login, or the opposite, if you want to be able to sync only when &kpilot; is
+running, you have to stop the daemon on exit. The last option is especially
+usefull if you have other applications that use the same port as &kpilot;.

+If you select to store birthdays, remember to use a date format that is

+two-digit year, %Y for the four-digit year. For example, %d.%m.%Y would
+generate a date like 27.3.1952, while %m/%d/%y would write the same date as
