           desktop machine.

## SYNOPSIS

           hinotes  [-p|--port   <port>]   [--version]   [-q|--quiet]
           [-?|--help] [--usage] [-d|--dirname dir]

## DESCRIPTION

           Hi-Notes  must  be installed on your Palm handheld (and at
           least one entry must exist within Hi-Notes).

           By default, the contents of your Palm's Hi-Notes  database
           (Hi-NoteDB.pdb)  will  be  written to STDOUT as a standard
           Unix mailbox (in mbox-format) file, with each  memo  as  a
           separate  message. The subject of each message will be set
           as the category.

           The memos will be written to STDOUT unless the  -d  option
           is  specified.   Using -d will be save the memos in subdi-
           rectories of dir. Each subdirectory will contain the  name
           of a category on the Palm where the record was stored, and
           will contain the memos found in that category.

           Each memo's filename will be the first  line  (up  to  the
           first  40  characters)  of  the  memo. Control characters,
           slashes, and equal signs that would  otherwise  appear  in
           filenames   are   converted   using   the  correct  MIME's
           quoted-printable encoding.

           Please see http://www.cyclos.com/ for more information  on
           Hi-Note.

## WARNING

           Note that if you have two memos in the same category whose
           first lines are identical, one of them will  be  OVERWRIT-
           TEN!  This  is unavoidable at the present time, but may be
           fixed in a future release. Also,  please  note  that  syn-
           cronizing  Hi-Note  images  is not supported at this time,
           only text.

                  category on the Palm where the record  was  stored,
                  and  will contain the memos found in that category.
