Hi Lars,

If you need cross-platform without the headaches of
Java, then Revolution is the way to go :-)
AFAIK, no one here has written a library yet for
reading and/or writing pdb files. However, a bit of
googling turned up the file format specs at :
http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/docs/fileformats/PDB_PRCFormat.html
So this shouldn't be too hard to accomplish :-)

Best regards,

Jan Schenkel.
