No. NCU has never had this capability on PC _or_ Mac. The older Newton
Connection KIT (NCK) did, but it's not compatible with the 2000 you say
you have. (It was for the 100, 110 and 120 with 1.3 OS, it does't work
with the 2.0 OS).

Use the EXPORT command or SYNCY command in NCU to export your data in
text files or other PIM formats (Lotus Organizer reported is a good one
to sync with, if I recall (I don't use PeeCees). Can others chime in on
PC export/sync issues, please!
