Transferring files to and from a PDA device
Files can be transferred to and from PDA devices if the PDA
device supports the standard infrared protocol IrOBEX. Files
are transferred with the application C Beam, see p. 100.
C Address
C Address, the C-Pen address book, is available in the
C-Pen Viewer on your PC. Double-clicking on C Address
in the C-Pen Viewer presents the address files stored in
C-Pen, listed by their contact name.
The address files are stored as vCard files (filename.vcf)
and can be opened by a vCard viewer such as Netscape
Communicator or Microsoft® Outlook/Microsoft® Out-
look Express on your PC. Double-click on the file and then
click Yes in the dialog box. Please note that this will open
a copy of the file and that your changes will be saved on
your PC, not in C-Pen.
To put an edited address file back into C-Pen, simply drag
it from a folder on your PC and drop it into the C Address
application in the C-Pen Viewer. Note that the dropped file
cannot have the same name as an existing file in C Ad-
dress. If it has the same name as a person already in the
address book, a number is automatically attached at the
end of the added person’s name.
It is possible to synchronize your address files in C Address
with those in Microsoft® Outlook (but not Microsoft®
Outlook Express). Simply click your PC’s Start button/
Programs/C-Pen/C Sync. Selecting C Sync will start an
easy-to-use application which allows you to specify the
extent of synchronization.
