read-ical [-p|--port <port>] [--version] [-q|--quiet] [-?|--help] [--usage] [-d|--datebook] [-t|--pubtext pubtext] [-f|--file file]
Note, this is not the same as the iCal calendar format.read-ical allows the user to retrieve the contents of the ToDo and Datebook databases on a Palm handheld, and convert their contents to an Ical calendar.
Note that the calendar file named by filename will be deleted, so do not use your main calendar. Instead, use a separate one for this purpose, and include it in your main calendar.
As read-ical works by passing a script to ical, the ical application must be in your $PATH.
