NAME

pilot-link − a suite of tools for communicating with 3Com Pilots

DESCRIPTION

The pilot-link suite of tools are generally conduits for moving information to and from 3Com Pilots.

TARGET DEVICE

Most (all?) of the pilot-link programs default to /dev/pilot as the serial device used to communicate with a Pilot. In general, if the environment variable PILOTPORT is set, its value will override the default. A serial device specified on the command-line will be used regardless of any PILOTPORT setting.

The default connection rate is 9600 baud. You are welcome to try higher baud rates (19200, 38400, or 57600) by setting the PILOTRATE environment variable, but various machines have various limitations. (Be careful about 38400 on a Linux box if you’ve been using setserial to change the multiplier.)

USAGE

Here is a list of programs from the pilot-link README file:
addresses: dump Pilot address book into generic format
debugsh: command-line interface to Pilot debug monitor
dlpsh: command-line interface to Pilot HotSync protocol
getrom: program to fetch ROM using getrom.prc or getrom2.prc
getrom.prc: Pilot program to help dump a 512K ROM
getrom2.prc: Pilot program to help dump a 1024K ROM (used for PalmOS
2.x)
ietf2datebook: convert IETF calendar to format used by install-datebook
install-datebook: import datebook records from a text format into Pilot
install-memo: import memo records from a text format into Pilot
install-todos: import todo records from a text format into Pilot
install-user: modify user name settings (and report lots of into) about
Pilot
memos: export memos from Pilot in mailbox format
pi-csd: must be running to accept Network HotSync(tm) connects
pi-getram: program that retrieves RAM from Pilot
pi-getrom: program that retrieves ROM from Pilot (without getrom.prc)
pi-nredir: program that accepts connections and redirects them via the
Network

HotSync(tm) protocol

pi-port: experimental program to separate serial layer from pilot-link
pilot-addresses: import and export address book
pilot-clip: experimental program to import and export data from Pilot
clipboard
pilot-debug: graphical and command-line program to interface with Pilot
debug

monitor

pilot-dedupe: strips duplicate records from Pilot databases
pilot-file: disect .prc and .pdb files
pilot-mail: import mail from POP3 mailbox into Pilot Pro’s Mail
application,

and send mail via sendmail

pilot-schlep: store a single file on the Pilot
pilot-undelete: turn archived records into normal records
pilot-xfer: back up, restore, install & delete Pilot databases (This is
a

very useful program)

read-expenses: export Pilot Pro expense database into text format
read-ical: export Pilot datebook and todo databases into an Ical
calendar

(ical is required)

read-todos: export Pilot todo database into generic text format
reminders: export Pilot datebook into a ’remind’ data file
sync-plan: completely synchronize the Pilot datebook with the Plan
calendar

via netplan

USAGE II

These programs are not intended for end-users. Perhaps they should be documented elsewhere.
ccexample: test program demonstrating C++ interface
iambicexample: test program demonstrating C++ interface
validate: experimental program to test C++ features

MAILING LIST

The pilot-unix mailing list is maintained by Matthew Cravit. Its mandate is:

The pilot-unix mailing list is for discussion and idea-sharing for those interested in using the US Robotics Pilot PDAs with UNIX systems. This includes people who are interested in helping to develop tools to allow the Pilot to operate with UNIX, and possibly to develop an SDK for the Pilot for Unix.

For more information, including how to subscribe to the list, send mail containing the word ’’INFO’’ to pilot-unix-request@hcirisc.cs.binghamton.edu. The subject line does not matter.
