NAME

       palm-datebook-reminders - generate simple report from Palm Datebook DB

SYNOPSIS

       PALM-DATEBOOK-REMINDERS [options]

DESCRIPTION

       palm-datebook-reminders reads a Palm Datebook database and prints out a list of events in the near future in a reasonably easy to read for-
       mat.

       Immiment events (ones in approximately the next 48 hours by default) are listed with complete item text.  Forthcoming events (approximately
       the next 4 weeks by default) are listed in summary form.

OPTIONS

       imminent/forthcoming | -timminent/forthcoming
	      Specifies that imminent and forthcoming events are ones within the next immiment and forthcoming seconds, respectively.

       filename | -ffilename
	      Reads the file filename instead of ./DatebookDB.pdb.  If the bare form is used, filename must start with a .  or / (dot or slash).

BUGS

       The program is not configurable enough.

       The option parsing is very grotty.

       Proper character set conversion is not performed.

FILES

       DatebookDB.pdb
	      Default input file.
