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.
OPTIONS¶
pilot-hinotes option¶
-d

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

quoted\-printable encoding methods.
