Nothing like that, I'm afraid, but I do have a resource of my own to make available to others. I've named it PalmIO and I intend for it to be a compact and useful Java library for doing PDB I/O. Well, much more 'I' than 'O' really. But, useful nonetheless. Right now it can open an arbitrary PDB and give you all the info from the header and also fetch records for you. PalmDB is the base class and useful for generic PDBs. Both ZtxtDB and PalmDocDB extend PalmDB to add features specific to those formats. You probably care little about those, but they may serve as a useful example. Utility contains some useful methods, especially ones to convert to/from the Palm epoch. http://weaselreader.org/PalmIO/ It's there to use if you're interested. It has full PalmDoc output available to help speed things along. I'm also not finished with it. Don't expect to lose items, but rather for me to add more to it as needed (either by myself or others). It is currently under the GPLv2, but as it is just a small utility library, I'm quite flexible on that, if necessary. Email me about it if you need to. -- --John Gruenenfelder Systems Manager, MKS Imaging Technology, LLC.
