DESCRIPTION

Connect to the Palm handheld and list the record information found in the Palm Notepad application (found on OS4 and newer devices). Alternately, if no options are given, each record’s image will be converted to files, using Portable Network Graphic (.png) or Portable Pixmap (.ppm) format. The default type is ppm.

read-notepad allows a user running PalmOS 4.0 or later to read the data stored in the Palm Notepad application and extract the data into images and convert them to Portable Network Graphics (.png) or Portable Pixmap (.ppm) files.
