Palm Command Line Tools

Description

The Palm Command Line Tools are a set of perl scripts, which make your PalmOS PIM databases available on the command prompt. The package also includes an [X]Emacs mode for Todos.

The suite contains the following commands:

  • paddr (Usage)
    Lets you access the Address database. Most powerful in combination with Labelnation (http://www.red-bean.com/labelnation/) for printing address labels.
  • pmemo (Usage)
    Lets you lookup information from your Memo database much faster than any GUI.
  • ptodo (Usage)
    Shows your action items and grocery list from the Todo database. This one comes with a very handy [X]Emacs mode.
  • pnewtodo (Usage)
    Used to add new items to the Todo database.
  • pedittodo (Usage)
    Edit Todo items.
  • todo.el (Usage)
    [X]Emacs Todo mode.
Each command understands the -h option, which explains the usage.
