Dba2Csv, later rebranded as Palm2Google (and widely hosted as Palm2CSV), is a free, web-based utility designed to bridge the gap between legacy Palm OS devices and modern calendar systems.
Palm Desktop software natively stores and exports calendar data exclusively in proprietary Datebook Archive (.dba) or .tda formats. Because modern cloud services cannot read these files, Palm2Google acts as an essential translation layer. Key Features and Functionality
Format Conversion: The tool parses the native Palm .dba (Datebook) and .tda (To-Do) files. It converts them into standard Comma-Separated Values (.csv) or iCalendar (.ics) files.
Preservation of Recurring Events: Unlike standard flat CSV files, which strip out recurrence data, exporting to the .ics format via Palm2Google retains complex repeat rules. It also handles event exclusions and modifications.
Zero Installation: The tool functions entirely within a web browser. Users do not need to download executables, plug-ins, or worry about operating system compatibility.
Broad Compatibility: The generated files can be directly uploaded to Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Yahoo Calendar, or Apple Calendar. How the Migration Process Works YouTube·GCalToolkit & Dba2Csv
