Address Book file format

I like the Zoomer as a toy, but I don't see doing bulk data entry
without a keyboard. In fact, I also bought PalmConnect but I also won't
enter my entire address database by hand and keep it synced by hand
between PalmConnect and the Zoomer. Since we have the file transfer
programs, all I need is the format of the Address Book (and Date Book,
etc.) and I can write an import/export utility between some reasonably
portable format, like comma-delimited ASCII. The "real" data will
remain in a "real" database, such as Access or whatever on the PC.

I have read various documents about the Zoomer but I haven't run across
the file formats. Is this covered in the SDK? I don't really need the
kit, just the format docs.

I also saw some reference to comma-delimited output from the Zoomer, but
nothing specific. Maybe something like this already exists?

Thanks alot!

Lester
