 You don't know what resources (pdb & prc) are stored in your palm ?
This little Application exports a list of all pdb's & prc's with type, creator,size, name and version to a Memopad entry or a doc file. To View Doc files you need a Doc Viewer/Reader.

Info to print

You can select by checkboxes what piece of information about the resources should be listed
  • CardID
    Up to now, there should be just one memory card in your PalmOS™ enabled device;
  • ROM/RAM
    prints ROM if the database resists in RAM or ROM.
  • size
    Size of the Database in KB (1 KiloByte = 1024 Bytes).
  • no Head/Foot
    Header and Footer will be omnitted. Except the fist line of the Memo, because it is the title of the entry.

include

You can filter which files are included in the list.
  • ROM only
    Only databases the resist in the ROM (Read Only Memory) will be listed. Those files survive a hardreset.
    Databases in RAM will be skipped.
  • RAM only
    Only databases the resist in the RAM will be listed. Those files do not survive a hardreset.
    Databases in ROM will be skipped.
  • RAM & ROM
    All databases are listed.

only PRC's

Only databases that have the dmHdrAttrResDB set will be listed. Usually those databases are Librarys, Preferences, Applications etc. Other Databases will be skipped.

 You can select how the list is sorted.
  • none
    No sort order. order depends on the occurence in the memory
  • type
    files are sorted by their type.
  • creator
    files are sorted by their creator. You can easily see which files are releated to each other.
  • name
    files are sorted by their database name.
  • size
    files are sorted by their database size. The smallest one will apear at first.

delimiter

That can be any up to four charater long string. If you like to import it as a CSV (Comma Seperated Values) File use the , or ;. You can use a Tablulator character or blanks/spaces.
 

If a Version of a Resource file ("Program") is available it will attached to the name. It will look like Resc2Memo v1.5.

All memory cards will be scanned, except those which are external Memory Cards.

 The Title of the Memopad entry will be Resc2Memo [date] [time]. The format of date/time depends on the format settings you have choosen in the system preferences panel.
If one memo can not hold all information a further one will be created.
The name of the Doc File will be Resc2Memo YYYYMMDDhhmmss.
YYYY will be replaced by the current year, MM by the month, DD by the day, hh by the hour, mm by the minute, ss by the second. So you know, when the file was created.
The "creatorID" and the "type" are case sensitve, that means that Addr is not the same as addr.
CreatorID with just lowercase characters are reserved be PalmSource©
Common used types:
Type Comment
appl Standard Palm™ application (resource database)
libr Standard shared library
libf File system shared library
libs Slot driver shared library

Don't forget to backup your data before using it.
Before using that piece of software make a complete backup of you device (and make sure that the restore will work !). I prefer pilot-xfer or SmartBackup for that job.
Altough i am quite carefull, there might be a bug.

Tested on Palm OS 3.3, 3.4, 4.0 and 5.0.
