Palm has promised to publish the PDB, PRC and PQA formats. I haven't found
the official posting yet but there is some 3rd party documentation.
Try searching for:
'The Pilot Record Database Format' I last found it at
www.roadcoders/pdb.html (which most likely changed)
or
'The PRC Format' last found at
http://web.mit.edu.tytso/www/pilot/prc-format.html
Both helped me write C++ classes to directly read and write PDB files.

Subject: .pdb files, the PC, and bitmap resources

>Okay, my question is this. Is it possible to create .pdb files on the PC.
>I'm looking to create game levels and I'd like to create them on the PC and

>Also, I'm looking to include bitmaps in this .pdb file. I'd like to use
the

>bitmap resources. I want to include bitmaps for game items in the .pdb

>nice to take the same bitmaps from constructor and place them in the .pdb
>file if possible, but I'm really not against using another editor.
