What is a .PMLZ file?
A .PMLZ file is a type of compressed file, specifically a Zipped Palm Markup Language File. It contains one or more files in the Palm Markup Language (.PML) format, which are used to create eBooks. These eBooks are typically saved in the Palm Database (.PDB) format, which was commonly used on Palm personal digital assistants (PDAs). However, since Palm PDAs are no longer widely used, .PMLZ files have also become less common.
The .PMLZ file format is essentially a zip archive, which means it compresses the .PML files to save space. This is useful when you have multiple .PML files that you want to combine and compress into a single file, making it easier to manage and transfer.
To open a .PMLZ file, you can use various programs that can handle zip files. Some of the programs that can open .PMLZ files include: 1. **B1 Archiver** - A free archiving tool available for multiple platforms. 2. **Any Zip-decompression utility** - This includes any software that can unpack zip files. 3. **7-Zip** - A popular open-source file archiver. 4. **Corel WinZip** - A widely used software for file compression. 5. **The Unarchiver** - A tool for Mac users to open archive files. 6. **Apple Archive Utility** - This utility comes included with macOS and can handle various types of archive files.
In the context of Palm PDAs, there was an application known as eReader or Palm Reader that allowed users to read eBooks in the PDB format. To create these eBooks, publishers would first create .PML files that defined the content and formatting of the eBook. These .PML files could then be zipped into a .PMLZ file for easier handling before being converted into the final .PDB eBook format.
