SYNOPSISpilot-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 applica‐
tion must be in your $PATH.
OPTIONSpilot-read-ical options
-d, --datebook

-t,

-f,
