	Perhaps it's in some format intended to be used by HotSync.
What you sent previously definitely does not look like a PDB (or PRC)
file.

	Then you'll need to get documentation either from Yahoo! or
Palm about the file format.
	It's also possible that Palm doesn't know the format of this
file: when I asked them about the format of archive files, they said
that they were serialized Visual-<something> objects, so Palm
themselves didn't know the detailed file format.
