		PopDoc 0.1 (what a stupid name, eh?)
			by Jonathan Simantov


Welcome to PopDoc. PopDoc is a way of retrieving email from a POP
server and sending it to the Pilot to be read by the excellent Doc
document reader, available wherever fine Pilot software can be found.

I basically use it so I can stop by my computer, put my pilot in
the cradle for a couple of seconds, and then read my email on the pilot at
my convenience.

Basically, it's invoked as:
	GetMail /dev/cua??
where /dev/cua?? is the serial device that the cradle is connected to.
It will then ask you for the POP server hostname, the user name, and the
password. GetMail is a shell script, feel free to examine it and anything
else included.

NOTE: This has been tested on several Linux systems, but not anything
else. Binaries are provided of the utilities that it uses, including
popclient, makedoc, and pilot-xfer. Feel free to replace these with your
own copies of popclient, makedoc, and pilot-xfer. In addition, the source
code for 'splitup' is provided, which splits up the email into separate
files for each mail (as well as doing header filtering and other things.)

If PopDoc works for you, great! You're one of the lucky ones. If it
doesn't, let me know, and I will work with you if I can to make it happen.
Since I mostly use tools that have already been proven to work (somewhat),
any major problem is probably something small I missed in interfacing the
different pieces together.

PopDoc is provided with NO WARRANTY. If something breaks because of it, or
something else bad happens, it ain't my fault. PopDoc is protected by the
GNU General Public License; see the file LICENSE for details.

Well, good luck!
