DESCRIPTIONinstall-datebook allows the user to write one or more datebook entries from one or more source files. Once install-datebook is started, the user must invoke HotSync on the target device by pressing the HotSync button on the cradle or by tapping on the HotSync icon in the Palm launcher.The format of the source file contains one datebook entry on line, containing four tab separated fields. The fields are start date/time, end date/time, alarm settings, and the description of datebook entry. This program doesn't yet support repeted entries. The date and time must be in format understand by parsedate.y. At the very least, the following two formats are understood:
August 11, 1997 0800 GMT+300
If either one of the date and time fields is empty, the entry is installed
without time. If the alarm field is empty, the entry is installed without
setting any alarms. The alarm field can contain numbers followed by "m"
(minutes), "h" (hours), or "d" (days).

If you don't want to write timezone entries to all begin and end times, set the TZ environment variable to GMT before running this program.REPORTING BUGSReport bugs at http://bugs.pilot-link.org/AUTHORinstall-datebook was written by Tero Kivinen <kivinen@iki.fi>.
