Members,

I'm fairly new to Palm programming and brand new to CodeWarrior.  I started
writing Palm apps with CASL which allowed me to get my feet wet but then I
started running into limitations.  I bought CodeWarrior 9 and have been
hitting the books pretty hard.  My C skills are a bit rusty but I'm doing
OK.

I'm looking for some good documentation on creating .PDB files on the PC.
Although there seems to be a number of ready made utilities available, all
the ones I've found are for some specific record format (NSBasic, Satellite
Forms, etc).  I guess I'm going to have to "roll my own".  I read the
"Introduction to File Formats" on to PalmSource site but I need a little
more.  Maybe some examples.  Anybody who can give me a steer?
Look in V9's "CW for Palm OS Tools/par" folder. This has the source for par and libprc -- libprc is an excellent library for reading and writing PRC and PDB files, and its under the Mozilla Public License, so you can use it with few restrictions. We use this library in the new Palm OS 68K linker, and found it to work very well.

If you don't want to write a C/C++ program, the PAR archive has libprc in DLL form, and also the par.exe application, which can assemble PDB and PRC files from other binary files you have lying around.
