however, remember that the palmos uniquely identifies an object
(pdb or prc) in memory NOT by the creator ID, but by the 32 character
long name which you give the file.
this means that:
TESTING.pdb -> creator ID = 'AAAA'
TESTING.pdb -> creator ID = 'AAAB'
will cause an error when you install. i believe there was some
discussion earlier on this list (over 8 months ago), documenting
a manner in which you create your database names.
{creatorID}{DBname}
ie: TESTING.pdb would really be called AAAATesting
this ensures that developer A and developer B dont have conflicting
databases - which can occur if you use names like "ORIGINAL" etc.
the palmos does not display data and programs seperately if you
use the same creator ID, you only see one.
beware of explaining how to remove the program by just removing
the application. if you use flashpro et al, you can remove items
seperately - they dont both get removed. be sure to explain that
you use the MEMORY function in the palmos to remove things.
cheers.
