DESCRIPTION
install-datebook allows the user to write one or more datebook entries from one or more source files. Once install-datebook is started, the user must invoke HotSync on the target device.

The format of source file contains one datebook entry on line, containing four tab separated fields. The fields are start date/time, end date/time, alarm settings, and the description of datebook entry. This program doesn't yet support repeted entries. The date and time must be in format understand by parsedate.y. At least following formats are understood:

August 11, 1997 0800 GMT+300
1997/08/11 08:22:33 GMT+300

If the either one of the date and time fields is empty the entry is installed without time. If the alarm field is entry the entry is installed without alarms. Alarm field can contain number followed by "m" (minutes), "h" (hours), or "d" (days). Here are some complete example lines (" <TAB> "= tab, " <NL> " = newline):

1997/08/11 0800 GMT+300 <TAB> 1997/08/11 0900 GMT+300 <TAB> <TAB> IETF Registration <NL>

If no timezone is given to date the install-datebook will assume the time is in GMT and it will convert it to localtime. If you don't want to write timezone to all begin and end times set the TZ environment variable to GMT before running this program.
