I've updated the awk script for converting Google calendar iCal export to org: - the time zone calculation is now down completely within the awk script, not requiring any external calculations. - fixed handling of continuation lines as Google seems to have changed, since last night, the format of the export iCal entries. Again, comments, questions and criticisms all more than welcome! Please note that the shell command required to use this is now much simpler: awk -f thisawkscript < icsfile > orgfile as there is no longer any need to define the SECONDS variable. Enjoy! :) eric
