The 200LX Palmtop Database files contained here were created from the USDA data files at < http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/Data/SR11-1/dnload/sr11-1dn.html >.  I used the abbreviated form of the data.  Due to the ~2,000 record limit of a 200LX database file, I separated the file based upon USDA classification and have sorted the files by food description.  The classifications are as follows and you should easily be able to determine which file holds which subset:

01 Dairy and Egg Products
02 Spices and Herbs
03 Baby Foods
04 Fats and Oils
05 Poultry Products
06 Soups, Sauces, and Gravies
07 Sausages and Luncheon Meats
08 Breakfast Cereal
09 Fruits and Fruit Juices
10 Pork Products
11 Vegetables and Vegetable Products
12 Nut and Seed Products
13 Beef Products
14 Beverages
15 Finfish and Shellfish Products
16 Legumes and Legume Products
17 Lamb, Veal, and Game Products
18 Baked Products
19 Snacks and Sweets
20 Cereal Grains and Pasta
21 Fast Foods
22 Mixed Dishes
