+txt2pdbdoc is a Unix-based Text-to-Doc file conversion program. (It
+also converts Doc files to plain text.) A Doc file is a defacto
+standard file format for text documents for PalmOS document reader
+applications. The motivation for writing txt2pdbdoc was that such
+software at the time was crufty and poorly documented. In contrast,
+txt2pdbdoc is well written and well documented. Unix-style "man"
+pages are included for the program, utility scripts, and the Doc file
+format itself. The source code is also generously commented.
