Description

PRC2TXT.COM PalmPilot web-sites such as www.memoware.com and The Lending Library at www.macduff.net/ebooks/orgl-wrk.htm have a large number of files stored in compressed format. The extension is usually called .PRC or .PDB. The enclosed 400 byte program PRC2TXT.COM have managed to decompress all the text files I have met so far (note that the extension does not tell the file type; some PRC or PDB files are programs and others are in a database format). Usage: prc2txt fname.prc > fname The program has not had the benefit of being used for a long time ("soaktested").

The manual mentions these files, which are in the archive:

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.
