pdbc (PDB Compiler) is a compiler than converts a source file into a Palm DataBase file (PDB file).
The language the pdbc compiler understands is designed to be easy to understand und write.
Yet it is powerful enough to give the freedom to describe the binary content of the database records in a variety of ways.
It should also be easy to generate the pdbc source file from another language (e.g. Perl).
In addition to the pdbc tool there is also pdbdec.pdbdec is a decompiler which converts any valid PDB fileinto a pdbc source file.
This is useful to check the correctness of the pdbc generated file and to analyze other PDB files.
pdbc and pdbdec are command line tools. To install them you just need to modify the PATH environment variable.
The distribution contains:
- pdbc.exe for MS Windows
- pdbdec.exe for MS Windows
- Source code for pdbc/pdbdec
- man pages (+ html version)
- examples
- testsuite (contains also more examples)
- emacs mode: pdbc-mode.el
