Hi,
I finally imported (some of) my contacts into GPE-Contacts from Palm Desktop :
Here is how :
1/ I exported the selected contacts to vcf format (one big file) from Palm Desktop
2/ I wrote a small tool in java that use a vcard parser and generates sql orders (contacts.sql)
3/ get the contacts database from you 770 (~/.gpe/contacts)
4/ get sqlite 2.8 for your environnement (I used linux)
5/ open the data base (sqlite contacts)
6/ run the script (.read contacts.sql)
7/ copy the database (contacts) back to your 770
Phew ...
I now have my contacts on my 770 ...
O Fred
PS : if anyone wants the java tool ... (no magic here but it kind of works
)
PPS : I'm planning to do the same for ics file although it is of less use as it's much more volatile ... the best solution would be to have a calendar application capable of reading and at least displaying ics file from webdav ... or use a web calendar ...
