Calendar converter .ics, .vcs, .dba

[Usenet User]

Does anyone know of a utility that will convert between .ics, .dba,
and/or .vcs calendar files? Maybe a full fledged calendar program that
has functions too import/export in different formats?

I currently use the Mozilla calendar, and would like to get some of my
events on my Palm device. Mozilla calendar only exports to .ics format,
but the Palm Desktop only imports from .vcs or .dba calendars.

Thank you.

Just out of curiosity, have you tried importing the Mozilla .ics file
into your Palm desktop? I'm wondering if it chokes on it, or just
refuses because of the file extension. ICS is essentially version 2 of
VCS. If Palm Desktop is refusing based on extension, you might try
changing the extension. You could also try editing the line in the ICS
file that reads

VERSION:2.0

and change it to

VERSION:1.0

and see if Palm Desktop likes it any better. Sorry, I'm just speculating
here, and don't have anything to test with. I use a commercial product,
which accepts both ICS and VCS formats.

No, the Palm Desktop said there was a problem, it may not be a valid
vCal file. Thanks anyways
