This is a quick and dirty package prepared for USR Pilot users that want
to export data from any of the HP series of palmtop computers (95LX, 100LX,
and 200LX) to the Pilot.

This package uses GDBIO (an HP Palmtop extraction program), and a set of
AWK scripts to prepare the data for importing into the Pilot using the
Pilot Desktop Import function.

It's quick and dirty - this is not intended for anything other than one
time use, and I could be treading on a few toes by making the AWK and GDBIO
executables available in this package.  However, I'm doing it on the 
understanding that you will delete all of the files in this package once
you have successfully imported your data into your Pilot.  If you want
AWK and/or GDBIO, go get them from the appropriate FTP sites.  (AWK can be
gotten from ftp.fsf.org I believe, and GDBIO is a popular HPLX program 
available in full on ftp.eddie.edu in /pub/95lx somewhere or other).

How this works:
---------------

The first thing you need to do is get your phone.pdb file from your HP palmtop
to your PC, or transfer this package to your HP for use over there.

Once you have all of the files in this package and your phone.pdb file in
the same directory, simply type:

			TOPILOT phone.pdb

On the command line.  This will create a file called TOPILOT.CSV, which you
can then import into the Pilot Desktop and subsequently HotSync to your Pilot.
(You'll have to play around with the Import function to get the fields that
you want - note that the first record in TOPILOT.CSV is a special one that
I inserted in there to make it simple to match up the fields).

It's pretty simple - further instructions are included in the TOPILOT.BAT
file, in case you're curious.

Note that I do not support this package in any fashion, nor am I taking
responsibility for any damages or problems that occur as a result of the 
use of this package.  I'm simply making it available for one time use to the
few Pilot users that have asked me how I did this in the comp.sys.palmtops
newsgroup.  It worked great for me - I have imported over 500 records with
these scripts and they came out just fine on my Pilot.
