Package for synchronization of various Emacs subsystems with Palm Pilot
Commentary
Various functions transfer the following databases to and from the
pilot: BBDB, diary, and memos. This is part of the `emacs-pilot'
package . For
detailed usage information please refer to the README file included
in the package or accessible directly at
To use the package, insert the following line into your Emacs
initialization file:
(require 'pilot)
Autoloads are also available if preferred for the following
functions (the first two being the main functions).
pilot-make-menu (creates the pilot menu, from pilot.el)
pilot-add-to-vm (integrates the pilot menu into VM, from pilot.el)
bbdb-pilot-to-pilot (pushes the BBDB database to the pilot, from
bbdb-pilot.el)
bbdb-pilot-to-bbdb (integrates the pilot address book database into
BBDB, from bbdb-pilot.el)
diary-pilot-to-pilot (synchronizes the diary, from diary-pilot.el)
pilot-get-memos (puts pilot memos into a mailbox, from memo-pilot.el)
vm-message-to-pilot (exports the current message as memo, from memo-pilot.el)
The package creates the `pilot' customization group, see the
variables therein for customization.
You need the `pilot-wait' and `pilot-wait-end' scripts or
equivalent (or set the appropriate customizable variables to the
empty string) included in this distribution. You also need the
`pilot-link' package which does the actual transfer to and from the
pilot.
Actually, the two scripts are needed only for pure udev systems,
more specifically on those systems in which /dev/pilot appears when
the hotsync button is pressed and disappears when the hotsync
operation completes. On system in which /dev/pilot persists
between hotsyncs `pilot-wait' has no effect (so you are better off
setting `pilot-wait-command' to the empty string) and the use of
`pilot-wait-end' is harmful (so you MUST set `pilot-end-command' to
the empty string, otherwise your Emacs will hang after the first
hotsync operation!).
