Package: pilot-link
Version: 0.11.8-12
Severity: wishlist

Let's say one's Palm has died, but one has plenty of *DB.pdb backup
files on disk. I wish there was a way for so many of the pilot-link
tools not require one to e.g., take a boat to the main island and buy
another Palm, and put the *DB.pdb files on it. I wish there was a way
they could read from a file local file instead of needing to connect
to the Palm.  Each should have a "memos -f" style option.

(I filed a wishlist already I recall, for one or two of the tools to
do it, but they should all be able to do it.  Need --output too.)

Wait... some of the tools have -f, sometimes misdocumented... see
my seperate bugs...
And one sees
$ addresses --help

   You can redirect the output of addresses to a file instead of the default
   STDOUT by using redirection and pipes as necessary.

   Example: addresses -p /dev/pilot -f > MyAddresses.txt
Here we see a weird -f crop up, undocumented in the other parts of the
addresses documentation.

P.S., man addresses makes it seem that -p is optional, but addresses --help
says the opposite.
