//Question: How can import some text into a pdb file to use in palm?

 //You can read the text from your desktop computer using java.io.* classes and use the class Catalog from SuperWaba to create the pdb file. Then, just
 //synchronize it to your palm. The following piece of code does that:


import java.io.*;
import waba.io.*;
import java.util.*;

    // ps: this is a standard java file. run it with java.exe. to compile this file,
 //you must add the \waba\vmsrc\classes_java\ to your classpath

public class TestFile
    {
       // reads a text file
       public static void readFile(Vector v, InputStream is) throws Exception
       {
          v.removeAllElements();
          try
          {
             int b = is.read();
             char c;
             String s = "";
             while (b >= 0)
             {
                c = (char)b;
                if (c == '\n')
                {
                   v.addElement(s);
                   s = "";
                } else s += c;
                b = is.read();
                if ((char)b == '\r') b = is.read();
             }
             if (s.length() > 0)
                v.addElement(s);
          }
          finally
          {
             is.close();
          }
       }
