I ran killev after exiting Evo (I'm still running Evo 1.2.2), then edited the file calendar.ics. Had to use an Emacs macro to delete the hundreds (literally) of events which had been moved to Dec. 31, 2027. Then I started Evo up again, and voila, no more appointments on Dec. 31 2027. Then I synced the Visor, with the conduit set to "copy to pilot", so the correct calendar in Evo overwrote the messed-up calendar on the Palm. Apparently there is a known issue in the Palm OS which leads to appointments being moved to 2027 - here is a quote from a message to me from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > You have specifically stated that appointments have moved to a date in > year 2027, after synchronizing with the Palm Desktop (where the data is > stored rightly). > This error situation is under investigation; it seems to happen on any > model of Visor (or any Palm OS handheld for that matter) and is often > associated with the presence of advanced third party software installed > on the handheld.
