 Palm Development Tools...
PDB Operations  PDB Operations 1.50.5 (Source Included)

   This is one tool that can be used to examine Palm Databases.

  PDBingo! Allows the analysis of PDB Database Header as well as tweaking of the PDB Database Header. This is very usefull for application developers who want to see the intricate details of the PDB Files on the desktop. This also provides for browsing of the records in the PDB (does not support NextRecordListID yet, with enough feedback i'll be happy to introduce that too) along with displaying record header details. This is very useful for developers for understanding (studying) unknown database types, as well as to verify that the databases are being built as expected on the Desktop.
  PDBingo! also checks the record headers for illegal offset entries (this shows up as 'Invalid Source File' error). PDBingo! can also be used to join seperate PDB's into one single valid PDB File, and can also split the PDB into PDBs of one record each from the source PDB.

  Miscellineous...
image 2 text Convertor  Image 2 Text Convertor 1.03 (Source Included)

   This piece of software is used to generate images in textual format using a bitmap file

  img2text can be used to generate images in text format. These are actually just ASCII text characters arranged to give a perception of image. Like the one you saw in one of the X-Files serials in which the kid was arranging a whole big sequence of 1's and 0's to create a picture of a face.
