I'm using CWR5 on a Mac running OS 8.6.  Does changing the output file name in
the project settings | PalmRez Post Linker have adverse effects?  Note that I
am referring to the output filename, not to be confused with the application
name set in the constructor.

I first built an app -- version 1.0 -- with an output filename "MyApp" and
installed it on my Palm.  Later, I built version 2.0 and realized the output
name would be more accurate if I called it "MyAppLite".  This name change was
for internal use only as the user does not see this change.  Yet, when I
installed version 2.0 on the Palm, it did not overwrite version 1.0.  When I
viewed the application info on the Palm, there were two versions present.

I did not change the creator or type fields.  I did flip the copy-protect bit
off but that shouldn't produce this weird result.  When I repeated this
experiment on POSE, I got the same result.  Resetting POSE seemed to enable
version 2.0.

When I repeated this scenario using the original name "MyApp," version 2.0
installed over version 1.0 just fine.

Did I miss something in the docs?  Or am I doomed to always use the same
output filename for the life of the application?
