pdb files are not palm bitmaps, they are palm database files.
To draw a bitmap, you will need a bitmap header giving the size,
depth, etc. and the bitmap image itself might be elsewhere.
bitmap resources are self contained, but include all the information
including the header, but that is an entry in a .prc file.
As far as conversion, it depends on what you want to do. Minimally
you need to unpack the windows BMP header and repack it into the palm
bitmap format. Without knowing any more specifics it is difficult.
