Pilot-Unix Interface
--------------------

Pui v0.5.2
==========

This directory contains sample code to create a gdbm database
for storing and retrieving pilot records.

It does NOT contain complete "sync" routines (yet!), but can be
used to retrieve an entire database from the pilot, "muck" with
it, and restore it to the pilot.

Notice that ONLY pui-xfer, pdb2pui and pui2pdb use the "pisock"
library. The hope is to keep the pilot communications to a minimum,
once a database has been established on the UNIX side.

The PUI library contains no database specific routines.
See the "tclpui" front-end for specific routines for
the standard pilot databases.

For example:

  pui-xfer /dev/cua0 -f AddressDB

Will extract all the address records from the pilot.

  pui-dump AddressDB.pui

Will show you all the record data in a "pui" file.

  pui-xfer /dev/cua0 -i AddressDB.pui

Will restore the addresses into the pilot.
