Files: ts2is.bat  - Batch file to use
       ts2is.exe  - Win32 binary file (internal use only)
       ts2is.c    - C source code
       ts2is.txt  - This text file
---------------------------------------------------------------
Description: Converts exported contacts (text file) from
             True Sync to an import file useable with
             Intellisync Mobile Desktop.

             It is very interesting for people who upgraded
             from Xircom Rex 5000/5001 Micro PDA to
             Xircom Rex6000!
---------------------------------------------------------------
What you need: - Windows 32bit OS (like Windows 98)
               - Exported contacts txt (!) file from True Sync
               - Intellisync Mobile Desktop
---------------------------------------------------------------
How to use: Copy ts2is files in a directory where your
            exported True Sync file is,
            Start a Windows 32bit OS (like Windows 98),
            press start button,
            press run,
            type 'command' + ENTER,
            move to the directory where the ts2is files are
            (use 'cd' followed by SPACE and the location,
            something like 'c:\windows\temp'),
            type 'ts2is.bat INPUTFILE EXPORTFILE' + ENTER
            (INPUTFILE is the name of your exported contacts
            file, EXPORTFILE is a name you want to give the
            output file you want to use with Intellisync,
            but give it the ending 'txt', because Intellisync
            import option only works with txt files!),
            If everything works correctly, press 'ENTER' and
            import the new txt file to Intellisync!
---------------------------------------------------------------
How it works: ts2is.bat sends INPUTFILE to ts2is.exe,
              ts2is.exe creates OUTPUTFILE:
              1. The new file starts with a "
              2. ts2is.exe reads every character of
                 INPUTFILE and checks if it is a
                 tabulator or carriage return (enter).
                 a) tabulator: ts2is.exe writes the
                    following 3 characters to OUTPUTFILE:
                    ","
                 b) carriage return: ts2is.exe writes the
                    following character to OUTPUTFILE:
                    "
                 c) none of them: ts2is.exe writes the
                    character taken from INPUTFILE to
                    OUTPUTFILE
              3. The new file ends with a "
---------------------------------------------------------------
Known Bugs: ts2is.exe writes 2 extra characters to OUTPUTFILE
            (" and "). That causes warning message from
            Intellisync when you are importing your contacts.

            Workarounds: a) Just press 'Yes' if there comes a
                            warning that says: 'Since value is 
                            not supplied for the mandatory 
                            fields, the record number XX can 
                            not be imported. Do you want to 
                            continue operation?'.
                         
                         b) Open OUTPUTFILE with Notepad and
                            Delete the last line
                            (two " characters) and import it.

Notes: Used Compiler:          Borland C++ Compiler 5.5
       Used Operating Systems: Open Linux & Windows 98

This is no professional program and I am very new to C.
Version 0.1 of ts2is has no error detection and was
written in a few hours, so please do not expect too much!
But it will work if you follow the instructions!

This tool is free and you can copy it as much as you want,
but only give it away with all files I put inside the
'ts2is.zip' file.
You are not allowed to sell this program.
I have nothing to do with Xircom, Borland, Microsoft, Puma
Startfish or any other Company that developes software.
