23 pilot-read-ical allows the user to retrieve the contents of the ToDo
24 and Datebook databases on a Palm handheld, and convert their contents
25 to an Ical calendar.

27
28 Note that the calendar file named by filename will be deleted, so do
29 not use your main calendar. Instead, use a separate one for this pur‐
30 pose, and include it in your main calendar.

33 As pilot-read-ical works by passing a script to ical, the ical applica‐
34 tion must be in your $PATH.

112 useful in terms of accountability. Please point your browser to
