The formatting of the install-todos man page is much better than the
install-todo man page:

$ man install-todos install-todo 2>&-|grep -i options
OPTIONS
              Usage: install-todo [-pdycnft] command(s) [item] Options:
[P.S. [item] should probably be <item>, as it is required, no?]
$ man install-todos install-todo 2>&-|grep -i example
       Example:
              Examples:
$ man install-todos install-todo 2>&-|grep -i usage
USAGE
       Usage: install-todos -p <port> -f <filename>
              Usage: install-todo [-pdycnft] command(s) [item] Options:

However "Usage:" should not be repeated. And if you do "man cat"
you'll see that section is called SYNOPSIS.  (I didn't look at your
other man pages, but I fear the worst...)

By the way, install-todo --help and man install-todo show an example
with a -N, but -N is never explained.

Also both commands have no option to specify categories...

By the way, install-todo doesn't seem to actually work:
$ LC_ALL=C install-todo 'laptop sitescooper'

   Port not connected, sleeping for 2 seconds, 5 retries..
   Listening to port: /dev/pilot

   Please press the HotSync button now... Connected

Indefinite:  1
Due Date:    [non ascii =AC=F1=F2=B74g=C5=BF mess (I qp-encoded it here)]
Priority:    1 # I thought it was supposed to be 4 according to the man page

Description: laptop sitescooper

It doesn't show up on the Palm, nor via read-todos.

$ echo laptop sitescooper |install-todos -f /dev/stdin
didn't work either. So perhaps check if install-todo and install-todos
actually still work these days.

Hmmm, further study finds:
$ echo laptop sitescooper |install-memo /dev/stdin #made a memo with 
empty/weird chars.
$ echo laptop sitescooper > gg
$ install-memo gg #worked
$ install-todos -f gg #worked
Well /dev/stdin seems bad to use then...
