oops, should have better read your problem.
Since you are writing the app on the Palm, you determine the data format.
Hotsync just passes the requested record to your conduit as a raw data
pointer (just the data as your app wrote it on the Palm). Your conduit is
then responsible for translating it and saving it to the PC.
If you decide to let the Hotsync backup conduit transfer your database to
the PC and then want to read the resulting PDB file, that's when you would
need to know the PDB format (which was in my previous post)
