The backup copy of DiddleBug's +database you should use as this program's input is usually called +\fBDiddleBugDB.pdb\fP. Or if you use the original Diddle, it has two +separate DBs - \fBDiddleDB.pdb\fP, containing unnamed `scratch' +sketches, and \fBDiddleIDB.pdb\fP, containing the saved (and named) +sketches which are listed by its `index' option. You can feed this +program any of these three on standard input. + +.UN using +.SH USING THE PROGRAM +.PP +I recommend you \fInot\fP run \fBddbugtopbm\fP from your Palm +backup directory, i.e. don't run it from the directory the DB will +normally be in. Instead, run it from some other directory (perhaps you +could make a directory purely to hold the PBM files, just to keep +things simple) and use an absolute or relative path to the DB. +.PP +The filenames used for the output PBMs are based on the names given +to each sketch; if you have an unnamed sketch, it's given a name along +the lines of \fBsketch-0123.pbm\fP. +.PP +While the named sketches will overwrite any existing PBM file with +the same name, the unnamed ones won't - they'll just try using another +filename. (I think this is probably the right approach, as you can't +really tell the unnamed sketches apart.) + + + +.UN limitations +.SH LIMITATIONS +.PP +The DiddleBug DB reader is only known to work with DBs from +DiddleBug version 2.50. But it should probably work on later versions, +and I think it'll work on DBs from version 2.15 as well. +.PP +It might fall over if fed an empty database, and doesn't do much +(if any) checking of the input. + + +.UN author +.SH AUTHOR + +Russell Marks (\fIrus@svgalib.org\fP). +.PP +Mitch Blevins's decompression code is directly from DiddleBug +itself, which like ddbugtopbm is distributed under the terms of the +GNU GPL. + +.UN seealos +.SH SEE ALSO +.PP +.BR "palmtopnm" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pbm" (5)\c +\& +.PP +Jens-Chr.
