Convert PDB EBOOK to TEXINFO

The PDB (Palm Database) file extension, associated with PalmDoc eBooks, is a format used for storing eBooks on Palm OS devices. Originating from AportisDoc, PalmDoc files are plain ASCII text compressed using Run-Length Encoding (RLE) to save memory space. These files are decompressed on the fly by PalmDoc readers, facilitating efficient storage and quick access. The PDB format, with its Creator ID and Type attributes, ensures compatibility across various Palm applications, making it a versatile choice for eBook distribution on Palm devices.

The Texinfo is a documentation format developed by the GNU Project, created by Richard Stallman and Bob Chassell. It uses plain text files with @-commands to generate both online and printed documentation from a single source. Texinfo files, with the TEXI extension, support various output formats like HTML, PDF, and Info. This system simplifies maintaining consistent documentation across multiple formats.
