       The  Doc  file  format  is the standard text document format used by all models of the Palm Pilot.  A Doc
       file is a pdb(4) file: this manual page describes only those aspects specific to Doc files.

       A Doc file consists of 0 to num_recs records; record 0 is the header for the document.  (This  header  is
       distinct  from  the  pdb(4)  header.)   The  remaining  records  contain text, either plain or compressed
       depending upon version.

   WordSizes
       In the synopsis above, the types ``Word'' and ``DWord'' are used just as in the Pilot headers.  The  type
       ``Word'' is 16 bits; the type ``DWord'' is 32 bits.  Both are in big-endian format.

   CompressionFormat
       A character ``c'' in a compressed record is in one of four classes:

       01-08     Copy ``c'' bytes

       00,09-7F  Self

       80-BF     Sequence

       C0-FF     A space plus the ASCII character ``c ^ 0x80''
