I'm afraid I may not be a lot of help, but ... The only success I have had
getting MoreInfo data intact to ANY desktop PIM was as follows. I used
X-Port Custom with specific field mappings for MI and exported the data as
delimited file, then imported into (?? Act, CO, ??) and cleaned up a few
errant entries.

I have also used the 'adf' file supplied with RCU (and several modified
iterations of it) with somewhat less success.

If you are going to the PC side with this - I have had great luck with
one-way syncing to Outlook 2000 using a 'modified' version of LookOut.

You will likely never fully sync between an MI equipped MP2k and the desktop
- there is just too much room for data weirdness.

Personally, my Newtons are the last word as they are (almost) always with
me. The desktop becomes a backup. I would prefer it be synchronized, but
the level of software (or lack thereof) seemingly prohibits this.
