TDB is To Be Defined, you were not very far :) you can use the Palm Installer for Pilot-DB there is no trouble but any of us have a Mac and is impossible now to build a Mac archiv and describe the installation.

There is somes trouble to install Pilot-DB databases from Mac, the PalmDesktop for Mac cuts a part of the database header. Some people who use Mac know how to shortcut this problem, the best way is to contact them on our mailing list. My english and my knowledge on Mac is too bad to understand exactly the way.

I put this mail in copy on the mailing list.

Salut,
Marc.
