# dfical-datebook(1)

parse an iCal file and create a QSF XML pilot\_datebook instance.

## NAME

dfical-datebook - parse an iCal file and create a QSF XML pilot\_datebook instance.

## DATAFREEDOM

These scripts developed from the 'pilot-qof' package but now include support for other packages and formats and will continue to be extended along the lines of http://www.data-freedom.org/ - liberating user data  from the application. Therefore, the datafreedom scripts use a 'df' prefix.

The scripts continue to be developed within the pilot-qof CVS until such time as the scripts are sufficiently cohesive to form a new source package.

Please feel free to contribute any of your own scripts, under the provisions of the GNU General Public Licence v3 or later, via the QOF-devel mailing list. http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qof-devel
