Is there a program to allow me to view a database created by my application, so I can check structure and data to see if there created correctly.
Quartus RsrcEdit ( http://www.quartus.net/products/rsrcedit/ ) is pretty handy for that and runs on the Palm. You can view each record with a little hex editor, delete records, add records, and even disassemble 68k code. FileZ lets you do similar things to what RsrcEdit does, and FileZ is free whereas RsrcEdit is not. However, FileZ isn't quite as powerful as RsrcEdit either. Or, if you are running on the desktop, the command-line utility "par" is handy. The command "par x foo.pdb" will extra each record of foo.pdb into a separate file. I sometimes use this under Mac OS X to examine records' contents with standard Unix utilities like "strings", "od" (octal dump, which also does hex dumps, contrary to its name), and "less". I've managed to track down a few bugs that way. It's a little bit extra pain to transfer the database from the Palm to the desktop sometimes, but it's nice to have the power of a desktop machine (and its much larger display) to view the data. I believe the "pilot-file" utility from the pilot-link package will also let you list records, dump their contents, etc., although since I've tried par, I've found that it seems more useful to me personally. - Logan -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
