NAME
       read-todos  -  Syncronize  your	Palm ToDo application's database with
       your desktop machine.


SYNOPSIS
       read-todos [-p ] [options]



DESCRIPTION
       read-todos will read the ToDo database on the Palm handheld,  or	 read
       the  ToDoDB.pdb	file  directly from disk on your desktop machine, and
       print the contents to STDOUT (generally "The Screen[tm]").



OPTIONS
       -p, --port 
	      Use device file  to communicate with  the  Palm  handheld
	      device.  If this is not specified, will look for the $PILOTPORT
	      environment variable.  If	 both  are  not	 found	or  supplied,
	      install-expenses will fall back to /dev/pilot.


       -h, --help
	      Display the help synopsis for read-todos.


       -v, --version
	      Display version of read-todos.


       -f, --file [filename] ..
	      Read  the	 ToDoDB.pdb  file  from disk and dump the contents to
	      STDOUT.


USAGE
       Connect to a target Palm handheld and read the ToDo database, or	 read
       the ToDoDB.pdb file from disk and print the entries found to STDOUT.

       By  default, the contents of your Palm's ToDo database will be written
       to standard output in a simple text output format.

       If you supply the -f <file> argument, while  omitting  the  -p  
       argument,  and  pass  it	 in  the filename of a Palm ToDoDB.pdb-format
       file, the entries in the ToDo database file will be written to STDOUT.

       If  you	supply	the  -p  argument, while omitting the -f 
       argument, the ToDo database on your Palm will be read and sent to STD-
       OUT in the same basic text format.
