I get a socket error on port 5444 when I try to run the pilot manager with the SyncPlan conduit to sync the Pilot calendar with Unix plan. I did a search and realised that I don't have netplan on my machine and netplan is mentioned on the Web page for the SyncPlan conduit. Is netplan responsible for the error - I'm just guessing. Any help in solving this is appreciated. Otherwise I think this is a great app for the pilot. later jmb
