otl2pdb

otl2pdb(1)						      General Commands Manual							otl2pdb(1)

NAME

       otl2pdb - converts vimoutliner outline to AddressDB Palm file.

SYNOPSIS

       otl2pdb [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the otl2pdb Perl script.

       otl2pdb	is  a  perl(1)	script	that takes an outline from vimoutliner(1) with contact information and creates an AddressDB.pdb file for a
       Palm.

       For now this script can only create a .pdb file.  You then have to use a syncing tool to load it into your Palm.  I  recommend  the  pilot-
       link package for linux.

       The format of the contact outline is the following:

	   $category
	       $record_name
		   c:$cell
		   a:$address
		   ....

       You  can  have as many categories and records(entries) as you want.  The following are valid fields for a record with the necessary text to
       indicate them in quotes:

	   'a:'-address
	   'c:'-cell
	   'e:'-email
	   'h:'-home phone
	   'n:'-note
	   'web:'-website
	   'w:'-work phone

       Also, each record's category is left as 'Unfiled' as I can't get the record's category to write correctly.

SEE ALSO

       vim(1), perl(1)

REQUIREMENTS

       This program uses the Palm::Address perl module, which is available on CPAN.

TIPS

       If using the pilot-link package:

	   -load the pdb with 'pilot-xfer -i AddressDB.pdb'
	   -specify the serial port if other than /dev/pilot (which will usually be the case
	   unless you link to it) with -p in the above command; usually this is /dev/ttyS0 in linux
