This is really old and unmaintained stuff, still there for historical reasons only I guess. Palm OS has been dead for a long time…

This is a suite of programs for synchronizing Palm OS devices with the BBDB database and the Emacs diary. It also offers memo manipulation (exporting and importing into mailboxes). The README file provides details on the matter.

Here is the package as a whole: emacs-pilot-1.4.tar.gz. For those needing only parts of it individual files are available as follows:

• bbdb-pilot.el version 2.4 for BBDB synchronization
• diary-pilot.el version 2.4 for diary synchronization
• memo-pilot.el version 1.2 for memo transfers
• pilot.el contains common code (you certainly need this)
• two small, helper shell scripts (pilot-wait and pilot-wait-end) are in pilot-wait.tar

To use the package you need of course Emacs (but then you already have it otherwise you won't be here) and also the pilot-link package (which does the actual transfer between Emacs and the pilot).

Version 1.4 is the first version that is quite robust and works well in various settings (not just mine); in this respect special thanks go to Jim Kalb, the most active and patient beta tester I have ever had. This being said, some bugs are known to exist (see the end of the README file) and some are not known, bug reports are most appreciated.
