Aportis Doc (bytes 61-68 = "TEXtREAd")
zTxt ("zTXTGPlm")
plucker ("DataPlkr")
mobipocket ("BOOKMOBI")
MobiPocket is usually in a .prc file, but the other three are usually or often .pdb files. AportisDoc is now usually called PalmDoc, and the MobiPocket Reader will also read these files (which might be .prc or .pdb).
In any case, if you have a Windows or Linux Desktop, download FBReader and see if it reads your PDB files. If you have Windows, or any one of the many supported handheld PDA's or smart phones you can also try MobiPocket Reader.
See Palm Magic for a list of many PalmOS document types. |
You can find this list in an easier to read format and more filetypes in my PDB article on the mobileread wiki. If you haven't checked it lately you are missing a good resource.
