NAME
pilot-link - a suite of tools for communicating with Palm
Computing, Inc. Palm Devices as well as the Handspring
Visor, TRGPro, and other devices which conform to this stan-
dard (PalmOS licensed devices).
DESCRIPTION
The pilot-link suite of tools contains a series of conduits
for moving information to and from your Palm device and your
desktop or workstation system.
TARGET DEVICE
All of the pilot-link programs will default to /dev/pilot as
the default serial device used to communicate with a Palm.
In general, if the environment variable $PILOTPORT is set,
its value will override the default. A serial device speci-
fied on the command-line will be used regardless of any
$PILOTPORT setting.
The default connection rate is 9600 baud. You are welcome
to try higher baud rates (19200, 38400, 57600 or higher) by
setting the $PILOTRATE environment variable, but various
machines have various limitations. (Be careful about values
higher than 115200 on Linux boxes if you've been using set-
serial to change the multiplier.)
USAGE
Here is a list of programs available from within the pilot-
link package as of the date of this manpage.
addresses
dump the Palm address book into a generic text-output
format
debugsh
command-line interface to a Palm debug monitor
dlpsh
command-line interface to Palm HotSync protocol. This
is very useful for debugging potential problems with
your serial port.
getrom
program to fetch ROM using getrom.prc or getrom2.prc
getrom.prc
Palm program to help dump a 512K ROM
getrom2.prc
Palm program to help dump a 1024K ROM (used for PalmOS
2.x)
ietf2datebook
convert IETF calendar to format used by install-
datebook
install-datebook
import datebook records from a text format into the
Palm
install-memo
import Memo records from a text format into the Palm
install-todos
import ToDo records from a text format into the Palm
install-user
modify user name settings (and report lots of into)
about the Palm
memos
export memos from the Palm in mailbox format
pi-csd
this must be running to accept Network HotSync(tm) con-
nects
pi-getram
program that retrieves the RAM from Palm
pi-getrom
program that retrieves ROM from Palm (without
getrom.prc)
pi-nredir
program that accepts connections and redirects them via
the Network HotSync(tm) protocol
pi-port
experimental program to separate serial layer from
pilot-link
pilot-addresses
import and export address book to and from your Palm
pilot-clip

sync-plan
completely synchronize the Palm datebook with the Plan
calendar via netplan
ADVANCED PROGRAMS

users. More detailed documentation on their usage can be
obtained by reading the source of the application.

MAILING LIST
The pilot-unix mailing list is maintained by Matthew Cravit.
Its mandate is:
The pilot-unix mailing list is for discussion and
idea-sharing for those interested in using your Palm
PDA with UNIX systems. This includes people who are
interested in helping to develop tools to allow the
Palm to operate with UNIX, and possibly to develop an
SDK for the Palm for Unix.
For more information, including how to subscribe to the
list, send mail containing the word 'INFO' to pilot-unix-
request@hcirisc.cs.binghamton.edu. The subject line does
not matter.
