OK. I think that was it. I looked in my CW8 directories for the Palm docs and came across one called, "Palm File Format Spec.pdf". I believe this is the file that you described.
Anyway, just to be clear (if you don't mind)...I can make a binary file on a Windows machine using simple C routines (i.e. fopen, fread, fwrite, etc). I can name this file with a .pdb extension and write the data to it in the format described in the document. Then I can transfer the newly created .pdb file over to my handheld just like I do with any other .pdb? Thank you for your time.
