In the future I think that we should set the pattern of having the
person who wrote the recipe adding it to the wiki. This after all
is the point of delivering this content via a wiki. The more people
we can involve in doing this kind of stuff the better.

Subject: [chandler-users] Importing from Now Up To Date
Hi everyone...
I've found a somewhat convoluted but successful way of importing
appointments from Now Up To Date v 5.1.1 running on my G4
PowerBook under OS X 10.2.8. I had no problems exporting 4 years
of appointments to Chandler 0.7alpha5 running on WinXP SP2. It
takes both Palm Desktop and iCal on the Mac to make this trick
work, however.
The basics are:
1.) Export from Now Up To Date using it's default Text export
format. Use the defaults in the Export dialog.
2.) Using Palm Desktop (I used v4.1) import the data file. Palm
Desktop will automatically detect the format as "Now Up To Date
2.0 - 3.5", and display sample columns and the data that goes
into them, similar to an import into Excel. Everything matched in
my case, without any action on my part.
3.) Use Palm Desktop to re-export the file. In the export dialog,
select "Date Book" as the module, "All Datebook Items" for Items,
and "vCal" for the format.
4.) Now, open iCal (in my case, v1.5.5) and import the vCal file.
You may want to create a new iCal calendar to keep this data
separate.
5.) Export the iCal file and import it into Chadler via
directions found here: http://chandlerproject.org/pub/Product/
GetStartedGuide/3 -Importing-ExportingData.html
I don't know if anyone needs this info, but I thought I'd let
people know it's possible to do, and it Just Works.
