pdb has two parts - a header and records. The header has some common
parts, that are the same format in every pdb, and variable,
application-specific ones. The records are completely
application-specific, except some very little information which does not
include information about the fields.

There are few tools that can tell you the general information. E.g.
pilot-file from pilot-link, par (google for 'par palm').

There are also some tools that can help you write a program to read and
write a pdb. Examples:
p5-palm
pdbc
PDBingo
pdbtool

I sadly can't find some of them in google now.

You might want to give some more details regarding your specific
problem.

HTH,
