Hi
This is the pdb format
struct pdb_header { /* 78 bytes total */
char name[ dmDBNameLength ];
DWord attributes;
Word version;
DWord create_time;
DWord modify_time;
DWord backup_time;
DWord modificationNumber;
DWord appInfoID;
DWord sortInfoID;
char type[4];
char creator[4];
DWord id_seed;
DWord nextRecordList;
Word numRecords;
};
and 2 more bytes for padding of header
struct pdb_rec_header { /* 8 bytes total */
DWord offset;
struct {
int delete : 1;
int dirty : 1;
int busy : 1;
int secret : 1;
int category : 4;
} attributes;
char uniqueID[3];
}
format
--------
firat header, nest record headers, nect records like that. its like a series
of binary records
Ya. we can create and read pdbfiles on desktop also. U can semlessly sync
that pdbs to palm.
