SYNOPSIS

       read-notepad [-p|--port <port>]  [--version]  [-q|--quiet]
       [-?|--help] [--usage] [-l|--list] [-t|--type type]


DESCRIPTION

       Connect  to the Palm handheld and list the record informa-
       tion found in the Palm Notepad application (found  on  OS4
       and newer devices).  Alternately, if no options are given,
       each record's image will  be  converted  to  files,  using
       Portable  Network Graphic (.png) or Portable Pixmap (.ppm)
       format. The default type is ppm.

       read-notepad allows a user running PalmOS 4.0 or later  to
       read  the  data stored in the Palm Notepad application and
       extract the data into images and convert them to  Portable
       Network Graphics (.png) or Portable Pixmap (.ppm) files.
