pdb = record based data format
prc = resource based data format
thats from a very high level :) a prc file is a palm application if
it has a 'code' resource of id 0 and 1. it is possible to have a
resource database, which has the same format as a prc
if you use DmGet1Resource() type APIs - you are dealing with prc
if you use DmGetRecord() type APIs - you are dealing with pdb
you can name your files .pdb or .prc, however, the palm will realize
which is which based on how you access the database :) the general
standard is that a .prc file is a palm executable.
we have a number of .pdb files which are actually resource databases.
hope this helps.
