SYNOPSIS

        pilot-read-expenses  [-p|--port  <port>]  [-q|--quiet]  [--version] [-?|--help] [--usage]
       [-w|--write]

DESCRIPTION

        pilot-read-expenses is used to output the Expense data in a simple text format, which can
       be used to import into any other application you wish, such as Excel or other application.

       If  you  have expense entries saved on your Palm in the ExpenseDB.pdb file, you can export
       them to a simple text format, and redirect that to a file/pipe, or  STDOUT  (the  default)
       using pilot-read-expenses.

       The output data will resemble something like the following:

                   Category: Unfiled Type:   5 Payment:   7 Currency:  23 Amount: 400.00 Vendor: Super Salads City: Westerly
                   Attendees: Joe, Mary, Bob Note: Some simple note text Date: Fri May 9 00:00:00 2004
