The K Desktop Environment

Chapter 1. Introduction

KPilot 4.0.0 is the latest version of the Desktop HotSync software for UNIX®. After several releases and many contributions from users KPilot, along with Korganizer, has evolved into a rather complete replacement for the Windows® Desktop provided by 3Com®. KPilot offers a few internal tools for viewing and manipulating data, and a convenient API for developing ways of sharing data with other applications. KPilot supports the 3Com® PalmPilot and similar devices, like the Handspring Visor.

There is a web page for KPilot: the Official KPilot Home Page. There is also a mailing list. Send mail to with the following subject: subscribe kpilot-list. (To unsubscribe from the list again, send mail to with the following subject: unsubscribe kpilot-list. Do not send subscribe or unsubscribe requests to the list itself.) You may also wish to use for more general questions about the integration between your PalmPilot and KDE.

A word about version numbers: KPilot 3.x versions are for KDE 1. With the release of KDE 2 KPilot 3.x is obsolete and KPilot 4.x has become current.
