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

PP PP is a ISO standard Pascal compiler for PalmOS.
It generates true native 68000 executable code (.PRC) from Pascal source code.
You can use your favorite Palm DOC editor to write your code and either run PP from the VFSdos console or use the included UI shell PPShell to compile and run your program.
The language syntax is mostly compliant to the ISO 1775:1990
cbasPad5 cbasPad5 is a very simple Tiny Basic interpreter implemented completely inside an OS 5 native ARM-PNOlet.

AppStats AppStats allows you to track the usage of applications on Palm OS 5 handhelds. It works silently in the background - keeping track of how often, for how long and at what times applications are used. The resultant data can then be viewed on the device in simple to read pie charts, exported to the Memo Pad, or synchronized to a PC with the AppStats conduit
