SYNOPSISpilot-hinotes [-p|--port <port>] [--version] [-q|--quiet] [-?|--help]
[--usage] [-d|--dirname dir]
DESCRIPTION
Hi-Notes must be installed on your Palm handheld (and at least one
entry must exist within Hi-Notes).
By default, the contents of your Palm's Hi-Notes database (Hi-Not‐
eDB.pdb) will be written to STDOUT as a standard Unix mailbox (in
mbox-format) file, with each memo as a separate message. The subject of
each message will be set as the category.
The memos will be written to STDOUT unless the -d option is specified.
Using -d will be save the memos in subdirectories of dir. Each subdi‐
rectory will contain the name of a category on the Palm where the
record was stored, and will contain the memos found in that category.
Each memo's filename will be the first line (up to the first 40 charac‐
ters) of the memo. Control characters, slashes, and equal signs that
would otherwise appear in filenames are converted using the correct
MIME's quoted-printable encoding.
Please see http://www.cyclos.com/ for more information on Hi-Note.
WARNING
Note that if you have two memos in the same category whose first lines
are identical, one of them will be OVERWRITTEN! This is unavoidable at
the present time, but may be fixed in a future release. Also, please
note that syncronizing Hi-Note images is not supported at this time,
only text.
OPTIONSpilot-hinotes option

ters) of the memo. Control characters, slashes, and equal signs ('=')
