NAME

       pilot-hinotes - Syncronize your Hi-Notes database with your desktop
       machine.


SECTION

       pilot-link: Userland conduits


SYNOPSIS

        pilot-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-NoteDB.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
       subdirectory 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
       characters) 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.
