Name : Gavin Peacock E-mail : [email protected] MIME media type name : Application MIME subtype name : Vendor Tree - vnd.palm Required parameters : none Optional parameters : Creator: A four character PalmOS Creator ID. See http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/palmos/creatorid/ for additional information. A Creator ID consists of four characters. Characters in Creator IDs are limited to printable US-ASCII. Encoding considerations : The contents of this media type are binary and must be suitably encoded on transports unable to handle binary material. Security considerations : This format may contain executable code for a PalmOS platform, downloading an object of this type to a PalmOS based device may expose that device to any effects of that code either intentional or unintentional. Interoperability considerations : This data type is intended for PalmOS based devices. There are various programs for other platforms that can read and write these files. This is a general purpose format for transferring PalmOS databases outside the PalmOS platform. This specifies the format of the database structure, but not the content of records or resources within that structure. Published specification : www.palmos.com/dev/tech/docs/fileformats.zip Applications which use this media : PalmOS system software, PalmOS applications and associated software on other platforms. Additional information : 1. Magic number(s) : none 2. File extension(s) : .prc, .pdb, .pqa, .oprc 3. Macintosh file type code : Creator 'Gld1' Type 'Palm' The palm format can be used to store applications/resource (prc), databases (.pbd), web clippings (.pqa) and overlays (.oprc). These are all variations on the same basic storage format, so we are registering only one type here. If there are good reasons to distinguish these subtypes in a mime/context, we can register further palm types such as application/vnd.palm.prc and etc... There would also be associated macintosh types 'PRC ' and etc... Person to contact for further information : 1. Name : Gavin Peacock 2.
