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"). Let me know if you have any problems.

You will probably want to format wrap long lines, in which case you
should be interested in my FMT.COM program:

  prc2txt fname | fmt -l33 >newfname.txt
