--- OmniRemote database format version 1.0 ---


This document describes the database file format for OmniRemote versions
below V1.2.  The V1.2 format is beyond the scope of this document, however
it should be pointed out that the formats are backward and forward compatible.
All V1.2 specific records begin with the following header:

  0x00 0x50 0x00 0x06 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 

Which is ignored by older version of OmniRemote.  OmniRemote V1.2 also
maintains old style records for compatibility.



OmniRemote uses a standard Palm Pilot database.

PC Filename: OmniRemote.PDB
Name:        OmniRemote
Type:        Data
Creator:     oRem

Each screen of buttons is a standard Palm Pilot Category.  Each button
is implemented as a record within that category.

A record can be 25 bytes or more depending on the type of button.

Information on the .PDB file format can be found online through
various sources.



Record format:

Button size and location - RectangleType (8 bytes)

Name with null termination - (15 bytes) (no null termination if name is 15 characters)

Icon - (1 byte) (0=no icon, 11-24 are currently valid icons, treat 1-10 as no icon)

Button type - (1 byte) (ignore entire record if type is >5)
  0 undefined
  1 normal
  2 category
  3 macro
  4 label
  5 repeating normal

if type 1:
  CarrierFrequency*2 - unsigned long (4 bytes) (Valid range is 64000-115200 (even numbers) except 80001 which is an untrained button (dotty border))
	if PlayRate is 18518 and a Springboard module with RF capability is installed the sample will be sent via RF instead of IR
  IR sample data until end of record (MSB first)
      Data was sampled at a rate of CarrierFrequency/5

if type 2:
  category number - (1 byte) (valid categories are 1-15)

if type 3:
  UID of button's database record or 0 for pause - unsigned long (4 bytes)
	repeated until end of sample (i.e. if macro contains 10 buttons then this will be 40 bytes, 65 bytes for entire record)

if type 4:
  nothing

if type 5:
  CarrierFrequency*2 - unsigned long (4 bytes)
  IR sample data until end of record (MSB first)
      Data was sampled at a rate of CarrierFrequency/5
