Hello,
|
||||
|
||||
I have written a simple AWK program to convert .vcs files into
|
||||
XAPIA format files that can then be dragged and dropped on the Calendar
|
||||
icon of the front panel to insert an appointment in the CDE calendar.
|
||||
|
||||
The program has some limitations. For the moment, it ignores ToDo items
|
||||
and only converts appointment items. Also, it has to convert
|
||||
appointments that extend on more than a single day (such as holidays)
|
||||
into daily repeats
|
||||
and to transform "UNTIL=" repetitions into a number of repetition.
|
||||
This is done by using an average duration of 30.44 days for a month
|
||||
and 365.25 days for a year instead of using the correct duration for
|
||||
leap years and for months. So the duration of an appointment can
|
||||
be sometimes calculated incorrectly.
|
||||
|
||||
If you wish to include it with the CDE sources or to post it on the Wiki
|
||||
documentation, I agree to release it under MIT license.

Otherwise, there are better programs in Perl by Adam Stein at:
|
||||

|
||||
but they require to install some extra Perl libraries.
|
||||
|
||||
Best wishes,
