thats exactly right.. each "record" starts with the 4 characters
"DBLK" :) i wrote a Java utility a while back to convert a raw file
on the desktop into a file stream on the palm :)
/me has to dig it up.. it's somewhere :) - although, not hard to do
basically.. it took the desktop file, broke it up into 4096 byte
chunks (all but last were 4096 bytes).. it slapped on "DBLK" in
the front of each chunk.. and then.. i used a program like
"files2pdb" to put all the chunks together into a single .pdb file :)
but beware.. Palm didn't document it for a reason (maybe).. the
format will probably change with new devices.. i can see it changing
probably with a different endian CPU.. :)
have fun :) welcome to hacker-ville :P
