NAME

       read-ical - coverts information on your Palm handheld device into an Ical-formatted calendar

SYNOPSIS

       read-ical -p <port> [ filename ]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents the small application read-ical.  read-ical allows the user to retrieve the contents of the ToDo and Datebook
       databases on a Palm handheld device, and convert their contents to an Ical calendar.

       Note that the calendar file named by filename will be deleted, so do not use your main calendar. Instead, use a separate one for this  pur-
       pose, and include it in your main calendar.

       As read-ical works by passing a script to ical, the ical application must be in your path.

   OPTIONS
       -p --port <port>,
	      Use  device  file port to communicate with the Palm handheld device. If this is not specified, will look for the $PILOTPORT environ-
	      ment variable. If both are not found, will fall back to /dev/pilot.

       -h --help
	      Display help synopsis for install-user

       -v --version
	      Display version of install-user

       filename
	      This is the file to output the ical-formatted data to.

USAGE

       The program will connect to a target device, retrieve the ToDo and Datebook databases (ToDoDB.pdb and  DatebookDB.pdb  respectively),  then
       instruct ical to write a calendar file based on the retrieved information.

KNOWN BUGS
