\fIinstall\-datebook\fR allows the user to create one or more datebook entries from one or more source files\&.
39
The format of the source file contains one datebook entry per line, containing four tab separated fields\&. The fields are start date/time, end date/time, alarm settings, and the description of datebook entry\&. This program doesn't yet support repeated entries\&. The date and time must be in format understood by \fIparsedate\&.y\fR\&. At the very least, the following two formats are understood:
42
August 11, 1997 0800 GMT+300
45
1997/08/11 08:22:33 GMT+300
48
If either one of the date and time fields is empty, the entry is installed without time\&. If the alarm field is empty, the entry is installed without setting any alarms\&. The alarm field can contain numbers followed by "m" (minutes), "h" (hours), or "d" (days)\&.
