I might, if prodded, be willing to update my pdb packing/unpacking
program to rebuild the todo database. (It currently supports pdb ->
ascii but not the reverse.) The catch is that the ascii it works with
is a lua program. This makes the data easy to manipulate but you have
to learn lua.
If you like, surf over to http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~nr/pilot, get
the pdb tool, and tell me if you can work with the ascii it produces.
If so, I can probably be persuaded to write the inverse function if
you'll test it.
