I am also trying to create a pdb on the desktop.
the 2 sites I have found are
http://www.righto.com/pilot/pdb.html
http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~nr/pilot/pdb/
The first one is good if you have done java as it has the source code so you
can hack it to suit your requirements.
However, I haven't been able to create a pdb from scratch. I can only take a
pdb and then recreate it.
ANyone else know a better way to create a pdb from scratch on the desktop??

Subject: What is the preferred method for creating a PDB file?
Hello,
I need to be able to create a PDB file on the desktop without going
through
a conduit. (i.e. using the Sync Manager API's.) I've been reading the PDB
Database Format document and it says: "...One the host computer, the PDB
file is written by the Palm backup conduit and read by the Palm install
conduit. Although the format of the PDB file is documented here, you should
not consider it a fixed format...."
Is there a preferred way of creating PDB files other than using the Sync
Manager? (possibly a set of API's that create the PDB file on disk?) Is
the only other option to build the PDB file, and if the format changes build
it again?
Thanks,
Craig
