Hi Eric,
	I haven't actually used it but it was in the plans at one point to sync
my handheld. It's had to go to repair and in the mean time an opensync
option has been developed. I haven't got it back yet. At any rate,
Unison's website says "Unison is no longer under active development as a
research project." and "However, the original developers are all still
using Unison daily. It will continue to be maintained and supported for
the foreseeable future, and we will occasionally release new versions
with bug fixes, small improvements, and contributed patches." Read the
whole thing here
<http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/status.html>. The website and
mailing lists are still up here
<http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/index.html>. Good Luck!

Regards,
