Brian Edginton has been working hard on Memo and Task support, and
it is currently in the CVS tree for Barry.
To give it a try, follow the CVS checkout instructions on the SourceForge
website, then run the buildgen.sh script. You will need libusb-dev,
autoconf, automake, a g++ compiler, and openssl-dev to compile the
base command line utilities.
Steps go something like this:
do cvs checkout
cd barry
./buildgen.sh
./configure --prefix=/where/you/want/to/install
make
At this point, run:
tools/btool -t
This displays a list of databases in your device.
To download the Tasks database, run:
tools/btool -d "Tasks"
Currently, there is only support for parsing the Address Book, Calendar,
Messages, Memos, Tasks, and Service Book databases. Some of the parsing
is only partially supported. All you can do is give it a try and
see if it meets your needs. :-)
Good luck, and let us know how it goes,
- Chris
