pilot. you can find it under http://www.stevenscreek.com/pilot/undupe.shtml

 Don't necessarily blame the pilot.  Make sure these duplicate entries are not 
 due to the calendar server's caching of appointments.  At least under 
 Sparc/Solaris/CDE, the rpc.cmsd daemon will cache calendar entries.  So, even 
if 
 you completely replace your calendar file, some of your old appointments might 
 persist.  It's happened to me.  You either need to signal the calendar server 
 daemon, or (under Sparc/Solaris/CDE) you can use the sdtcm_convert command, 
 which has the side-effect of flushing your cached appointments.
 
 Hope this helps.
