The backup copy of DiddleBug's database you should use as this program's input is usually called <B>DiddleBugDB.pdb</b>. Or if you use the original Diddle, it has two separate DBs - <B>DiddleDB.pdb</B>, containing unnamed `scratch' sketches, and <B>DiddleIDB.pdb</B>, 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. <H2 id="using">USING THE PROGRAM</H2> <p>I recommend you <em>not</em> run <b>ddbugtopbm</b> 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. <p>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 <B>sketch-0123.pbm</b>. <p>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.) <H2 id="limitations">LIMITATIONS</H2> <p>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. <P>It might fall over if fed an empty database, and doesn't do much (if any) checking of the input. <H2 id="author">AUTHOR</H2> Russell Marks (<A HREF="mailto:rus@svgalib.org">rus@svgalib.org</A>). <P>Mitch Blevins's decompression code is directly from DiddleBug itself, which like ddbugtopbm is distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL. <H2 id="seealos">SEE ALSO</H2> <p> <a href="palmtopnm.html">palmtopnm</a>, <A HREF="pbm.html">pbm</A> <p>Jens-Chr.
