Anyway, when evolution creates an all-day event, it stores the date as

DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20030418
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20030418

note--the two values are the same.  If I create an all-day event on my
palm pilot, it stores the values as below...

DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20030418
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20030419


PalmOS speaks iCalendar natively these days? Or are you using some
utility to get the appointment from your Palm to your Linux box?



er. sorry.  the second one is an entry that I added on my Palm, then
synced via gnome-pilot and evolution's conduits into my evolution
calendar.ics file.  The first one was one that I added inside of
evolution.  


Anyway, RFC 2445 is ambiguous on this point. One of the Evo developers
posed this question on the ietf-calendar list a year and a half ago
(http://www.imc.org/ietf-calendar/mail-archive/msg02194.html) and there
was slight consensus in favor of the inclusive DTEND interpretation, so
that's what Evo uses. (It's also what Outlook uses.)


Gotcha.  Mind you, this is only a topic of concern for me since I'm
using phpicalendar.  Thanks for the answer, Dan!
