NAME
       pilot-read-ical - Exports the DatebookDB and/or ToDo applications to ical format.

SECTION
       pilot-link: Userland conduits

SYNOPSIS
	pilot-read-ical  [-p|--port  <port>]  [--version]  [-?|--help]	[-q|--quiet]  [--usage] [-d|--datebook] [-t|--pubtext  pubtext] [-f|--file
       file]

DESCRIPTION
       Note, this is not the same as the iCal calendar format.

	pilot-read-ical allows the user to retrieve the contents of the ToDo and Datebook databases on a Palm handheld, 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 pilot-read-ical works by passing a script to ical, the ical application must be in your $PATH.

OPTIONS
   pilot-read-ical options
			       -d, --datebook

			       -t,
			       --pubtext pubtext

       Replace text of items not started with a bullet with pubtext

			       -f,
			       --file file

       This is the file in which the ical-formatted data should be saved. Note that this will be deleted, so do  not  use  your  primary  calendar
       file. See DESCRIPTION for details.

   Conduit Options
			       -p, --port port

USAGE
