I use a little freeware utility called "pdb" written by Thomas Weiske and available here:
http://www.ebe-online.de/home/tweiske/sw.htm version 1.2 is the most recent - it hasn't been updated since 2001, but it seems to do most things... There are also some utilities at http://home.vr-web.de/~jSwi/Katalog/P4.HTML (do a find on the page for PDB) but I haven't tried any.

The PDB file format is documented. You could write your own routine to read and convert your data. Its isn't very hard. Writing to a PDB can be tricky, but reading is easy. Your other option is to write a conduit (but from the tone of your question it doesn't seem a likely solution for your situation) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anthony Ng" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Palm Developer Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 9:08 PM Subject: Backup PDBs to Text file > Hi all, > > I am sure there is a simple solution or program that does this for me but I > searched thru the Forum and the Net (using google) and I can't seem to find > a satisfying solution to my above problem.
