Title: PIM file formats?
Post by: boggsml on December 13, 2003, 10:25:36 pm

Hi,

Does anyone know what file format the Address Book, Calendar, and ToDo apps on the Sharp ROM uses?

I can\'t get my C860 with Sharp ROM to sync with anything yet, so I was wondering if there was a way to import the info from either my Mac apps, Palm Desktop, Windows Outlook, or my Palm Tungsten T3 or HP iPaq H4155?

Thanks in advance.

It stores data in a \"DTM\" database. Something proprietary Sharp wrote/licensed

Does anyone know of any applications that convert the DTM data to the old XML format? I have a bunch of appointments and address book records but would like to use other ROMs or other PIM apps

If you are just converting to a different PIM, you can do what I did.  I sync\'ed with MS outlook and then used the export feature in outlook to create CSV files.  I then converted to XML for the PIMs that OZ uses.  (much better I\'d say)

...except for the fact that I use Linux on all my desktops (wouldn\'t touch Outlook with a ten-foot pole)

Hmmm... perhaps use the pole to give it a thorough beating?  :twisted:
