NAME

       pilot-hinotes - Synchronize 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 synchronizing Hi-Note images is not supported  at
       this time, only text.
