Now that I am on the list and have scanned the archives a bit, I note
there is a move toward direct import from the Palm for Korganizer
itself, but I am shamelessly using it for other purposes. I may end up
doing a direct PDB->RFC2445 importer, if I can't find something
suitable, but your little thing was the quickest route to that I found
in an hour's research.

It think it impressed people when I was asked to have a
Palm->Interchange hot-sync and it was accomplished in less than 24
hours. I have been in companies where you would spend more than that
amount of time just deciding when to have a meeting to talk about a
three-month project to do the same type of thing. 8-)

I thank you, and all of the other authors. Open Source rocks!
