Overview
install-datebook allows the user to create one or more datebook entries from one or more source files.
The format of the source file contains one datebook entry per line, containing four tab separated fields. The fields are start date/time, end date/time, alarm settings, and the description of datebook entry. This program doesn't yet support repeated entries. The date and time must be in format understood by parsedate.y. At the very least, the following two formats are understood:
August 11, 1997 0800 GMT+300
1997/08/11 08:22:33 GMT+300
If either one of the date and time fields is empty, the entry is installed without time. If the alarm field is empty, the entry is installed without setting any alarms. The alarm field can contain numbers followed by "m" (minutes), "h" (hours), or "d" (days).
