I was able to export data from the appt.adb omnigo
file using the follwing process:
1) using cpack100.exe from the omnigo connectivity
package, change the default printer to generic text
connected to a file (say appt.txt).
2) print the desired data to the file.
3) create a small quickbasic (or some other quick and
dirty programming language to decode the contents of
appt.txt and write a new file with the desired format
(I was able to import omnigo data into packrat by
writing a file with comma delimited fields).
This approach also lets you apply some intelligence to
the process. For instance if you don't want personal
appointments to show up in your PIM, place an asterik
at the start of each such appointment. Your
quickbasic program can then skip any appointment that
includes an asterik.
Of course, if HP really wanted to market the OmniGo,
they would make all of this unneccesary!!!!
