ADBIO 1.2 - Convert HP100LX .ADB files to/from comma delimited ASCII
-----------------------------------------------------------

The built-in appointment book application of the HP100LX palmtop computer uses a unique database format and cannot export or import data in any foreign format (except exporting ASCII versions using SmartClips). If your HP gets lost, stolen or broken you have no means for accessing your appointment book data even if you have a backup on a different machine. This was the main reason for writing ADBIO.

I included the C sources for all programs. They should be quite
portable.  I developed them on a Sun workstation. They compiled on first try on the HP100LX (using Microsoft C 5.0). To make it work, however, I had to change the arguments for the open() procedure. The current version works on both platforms.

The ADBIO package consists of the following files:

   README       this file
   HISTORY      description of changes between releases
   ADBDUMP.C    C source code for ADBDUMP
   ADBLOAD.C    C source code for ADBLOAD
   CDF2SUN.C    C source code for CDF2SUN 
   ADBDUMP.EXE  MSDOS executable for ADBDUMP
   ADBLOAD.EXE  MSDOS executable for ADBLOAD
   ADBDUMP.DOC  documentation for ADBDUMP
   ADBLOAD.DOC  documentation for ADBLOAD
   CDF2SUN.DOC  documentation for CDF2SUN

ADBIO is freeware and may be distributed/copied/used/modified/eaten/microwaved etc. freely.  I do not, however, take any responsibility for any damage produced by doing that.
