OmniGo file formats





We don't have full information about the file formats since the PIMs
were written by HP in Singapore.  For Apptbook, Phonebook, and
Database the file formats should be compatible with 100LX and 200LX.

The format for storing Notes is somewhat different due to the Note's
ability to store ink.  But the plain text portion of an OmniGo note
record entry is very similar to a 100LX note record (so that an OGo
could still read 100LX notes). 

A good place to look is Chapter 7 of the OmniGo book (that is, the GeosSDK
techdoc about the OmniGo).  And also at the sample application in
Appl\SDK_Omni\HPDB.
