DESCRIPTION

20       Note, this is not the same as the iCal calendar format.
21
22
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.
26
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.
31
32
33       As pilot-read-ical works by passing a script to ical, the ical applica‐
34       tion must be in your $PATH.
