Ignore the extension and look at the header record in the database.
While all Palm OS programs are PRC files, all PRC files are not programs. Consider Mobipocket, who uses the PRC extension for ebooks on Palm devices. (The Mobi reader doesn't care about the extension, and will find and locate Mobi books with a PDB extension.)
I believe someone once commented that Mobi actually
did use the "resource" database format, but I don't recall why.
