[missing-sync-palmos-talk] preserving categories

[Shannon Ross-Sheehy]

Con,
I don't know of anything to preserve the categories using ical, but I do 
know of a great 3rd party conduit for Entourage that preserves the 
categories perfectly (with or without datebook5).  It's called Queuesync 
(do a Google search).  The only problem is that it is not yet compatable 
with Office 2004 (the author is in Japan and Office 2004 hasn't been 
released there yet).  It makes me CRAZY that none of these programs support 
categories!!  let me know if you have trouble...
