p100 - File Formats Versus Memory Formats

[David J Patrick]

I spy a potential bub in the ointment; it seems that the palm,pdb data 
format, as usualy documented is designed for data on the desktop, and 
/in the palm memory/ has a slightly different (undocumented) format. 
This difference is usually effected during sync, but are we not 
discussing a port that would dump the database directly to ram ? no sync ?

from the palm docs;
http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/docs/fileformats/Intro.html#970013
This book describes the format of Palm databases that are stored in 
files on desktop computers. When one of these databases is loaded into a 
Palm Powered™ handheld, the database is stored in memory in a format 
that is similar to, but different than the format described in this 
book. The in-memory format of Palm databases is subject to change and is 
not documented by PalmSource, Inc.

problem ?
