palm-datebook-reminders(1)


NAME

   palm-datebook-reminders - generate simple report from Palm Datebook DB

SYNOPSIS

   PALM-DATEBOOK-REMINDERS [options]

DESCRIPTION

   palm-datebook-reminders reads a Palm Datebook database and prints out a
   list of events in the near future in a reasonably easy to read format.

   Immiment events (ones in approximately the next 48  hours  by  default)
   are  listed with complete item text.  Forthcoming events (approximately
   the next 4 weeks by default) are listed in summary form.

OPTIONS

   imminent/forthcoming | -timminent/forthcoming
          Specifies that imminent and forthcoming events are  ones  within
          the next immiment and forthcoming seconds, respectively.

   filename | -ffilename
          Reads  the  file  filename  instead of ./DatebookDB.pdb.  If the
          bare form is used, filename must start with a .  or  /  (dot  or
          slash).

BUGS

   The program is not configurable enough.

   The option parsing is very grotty.

   Proper character set conversion is not performed.

FILES

   DatebookDB.pdb
          Default input file.
