DESCRIPTION

19        pilot-read-expenses  is  used  to  output the Expense data in a simple
20       text format, which can be used to import into any other application you
21       wish, such as Excel or other application.
22
23
24       If  you  have  expense  entries saved on your Palm in the ExpenseDB.pdb
25       file, you can export them to a simple text format, and redirect that to
26       a file/pipe, or STDOUT (the default) using pilot-read-expenses.

29       The output data will resemble something like the following:

REPORTING BUGS

88       We have an online bug tracker. Using this is the  only  way  to  ensure
89       that  your  bugs are recorded and that we can track them until they are
90       resolved or closed. Reporting bugs via email, while easy, is  not  very
91       useful  in  terms  of  accountability.  Please  point  your  browser to
92       http://bugs.pilot-link.org: http://bugs.pilot-link.org and report  your
