A Java Command line Application to create the built-in AddressDB.pdb for the Palm.
It should be compatible with all kinds of PalmOS™ devices. Up to now the format of the AddressDB.pdb has not been changed.
In the IFO File are the Labels of the Categories and the labels of the fields.
Use Address2CSV to generate the IFO file. The ifo file is supposed to be called like the CSV file with the suffix IFO (Example: CSVFile.CSV -->> CSVFile.CSV.IFO). Look at Address2CSV for the labels of the columns.
The categories labels and field labels can be edited, but be carefull.

Syntax:
You need at least Java 1.2 environment.
using a JDK (Java Development Kit):

• java -cp AddressCSV2PDB.jar STARTER AddressCSV2PDB InputCSVFileName OutputPDBFileName

• jre -cp AddressCSV2PDB.jar STARTER AddressCSV2PDB InputCSVFileName OutputPDBFileName

The AddressCSV2PDB.JAR has to be included to the classpath or provide it with the -cp parameter to the Java Virtuell Machine.

Be careful, the Java Runtime environment is case sensitve.
The records in the CSV will not be sorted. Just change once the sort order within the Address Application.

A UniqueID must already in the csv file.

No other database can be written with that jar file.

The Software is freeware. For commercial use or distribution contact the author.

Any comment is appreciated.

Kind regards
