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
       purpose, 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

       Datebook only, no ToDos

                               -t,
                               --pubtext pubtext

       Replace text of items not started with a bullet with pubtext

                               --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.

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.
