SYNCAL

Version 0.8.9

SYNCAL: synchronizing Ical calendars and Palm devices

Syncal reads a current ical calendar file, an archived ical calendar file from the last time syncal was run, and a Palm device DateBook database and reconciles them. It creates a new ical calendar file which replaces both the current and archived ones and updates the Pilot DateBookDB to coincide with them. Here is an Ical ftp site.

The latest released stable version is Syncal-0.8.9. The source is available at http://hopf.math.northwestern.edu/syncal/syncal-0.8.9.tar.gz Here are the changelog and the manual page. This release includes a patch to the ical tcl code. The patch is small and simple. It adds an item to the File menu of the "dayview" ical window allowing the user to click to execute syncal.

This version includes support for some features of the datebk3 Pilot application which is an alternative to the standard Palm DateBookDB. See http://www.gorilla-haven.org/pimlico/datebk3.htm for more information about datebk3. The features supported by syncal include support for categories and for floating todos.
