David Williams announced a tool to read/write pdb files last week on here. I
haven't tried it but I think it is quite a bit more compact than using the
pilot-link library.

I've experimented with using Perl and found it to be pretty easy to build pdb
files. I don't have a tool like David's though. If you want to know the
file layout check out these pages. Of course RoadCoders has just invalidated
all of my bookmarks, but here you go..
Ugh the new site is too slow and I gotta go to work. The PDB layout is on
www.roadcoders.com somewhere. Sorry..
Here's the prc layout though:
