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

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...
