This seems strange, and I guess I disagree, because I DO know that I can
create entries in the Virtual PC Schedule+ client which I can see in
near-real-time on my Mac client AND vice-versa. In fact, I use my VPC side
to create many entries and to synchronize my REX-Pro. For example, I just
went into my Schedule+/Win95 VPC client, created a new event, synched, and
then went back over to my Mac Outlook client, synched, and everything was
there.

Here's what else I know: my original calendar was created on my Dell
Latitude CP; when I installed Service Pack 2 on my test PPC6100/66, and then
logged in, all the appointments were there. So, this isn't simply about
Virtual PC
