The input format is txt. The desired output is a PDB file that can be used on my wife's HP iPAQ with eReader software.

I can convert files now and they work fine except that there is no author listed in the eReader Book Library listing. I have looked at the various options for PDB Output but there aren't many and none have caused the author meta data to show.

I thought maybe using an intermediate step via PML and then Dropbook(?) might do it, but I don't see a PML choice in output conversion. Is PMLZ the same, similar or compressed?

Any guidance appreciated.

Thanks!
