[pilot-db-list] File format questions...

[Mike M. <mw...@mi...>]

In working on my pdb->SQL tool, I ran into some gotchas in the
documentation - by which I mean the "formats.txt" file.

Most notably, the note title is not limited to an 11-character string,
but runs out to a null byte. This is different from other string
fields, such as view names.

It also appears that unset dates have a month of zero, and unset times
have an hour of 24. Could someone please confirm that?

I'd like to add support for Link and Linked fields, but need the
documentation on their FIELD_DATA chunks. Could someone provide a
pointer to that, or the docs directly?

Finally, not quite relevant, but does anyone know the format for a 68K
floating point number?

	Thanks,
	<mike
