latest change:

2002-05-01 v1.2
- fixed The routine for reading the AppInfo of the PDB sometimes reported a corruped file, although it was valid.

This is a Java Desktop Application for MAC

and all Plattforms supporting Java 1.1.8 or better.
To run this software you need a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK).

You have to install a Jave Runtime Invironment like it is distributed by SUN, IBM or Apple. Up to now it has no GUI. It is a comand line driven utility. For Apple you can use Tools like JShell or JBindery to run the Application from the shell.

A small framework written in java to export a JFile Database. JFile is a Database Software avaliable from Land-J Technologies www.land-j.com. The result is a CSV (Comma separated Values) style file. All values are in >>"<<.

In the first line of the CSV File are the column names.

Use Pilo-xfer, the backup directory of the Desktop or other tools to export the database from your palm to the platform you prefer. It runs with Java 1.1.8 or better.

Syntax:

using a JDK (Java Development Environment):
- java -cp JFile2CSV.jar JFile2CSV JFileDBFileName CSVDumpFileName

if you have just installed a JRE (Java Runtime Environment):
- jre -cp JFile2CSV.jar JFile2CSV JFileDBFileName CSVDumpFileName

Be careful, the Java Runtime environment is case sensitve.

The JFile5_2CSV.JAR has to be included to the classpath or provide it with the -cp parameter to the Java Virtuell Machine.

No other Databases can be listed with it.

The JFile name has been used with permission from Land-J Technologies.

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

Any distribution of that Software via CD-ROM, Internet or other media without the permission of the author is not allowed.

This software can be used free of charge, except for commercial use. Please refer to the licence agreement for further details. Conatct the author if you have any further questions.

These applications are distributed as archives files. To extract the original files from an archive, you can use WinZip (.zip) for Windows or StuffIt Expander (.sit) for Macs.

Any comments are appreciated.

Kind regards
