100Gdb
Description
Here is the second document of the 100LX database file format. This is a dump of a very simple database, with very brief explanations of what some of the more important pieces are. You will need the first document titled "Format of the 100LX database files" to read along with this. Using that document, you should be able to pick apart the contents of the individual records. This information is for instructive purposes only. This isn't a part of my real job--I'm doing it to help those with interest in writing programs to read/write 100LX databases.

Package contents
Send to my palmtop
The palmtop must be waiting before you press the button, or the transfer will fail. It is the palmtop that announces it is ready, not the other way round.
Your browser cannot talk to the serial port. Direct sending uses the Web Serial API, which only exists in Chrome, Edge and Opera on desktop — not in Firefox, Safari or any mobile browser.
Download the file with the button above and copy it to the palmtop your usual way.
