No. Assuming you put that PRC in /Palm/Launcher there is just one tap needed to launch it (sometimes one extra tap to switch launcher to SD card, but it does so by default unless some power-user has changed that). The problem is that when you launch your app from card, Palm OS copies it to main memory, then starts it. But if you switch apps (or "quit" your in general) it will be deleted from main memory. So if user remove SD card your app is no longer available - that's why you may need sort of installer even for one prc -> to plant it in main memory. user could copy app to main memory by hand but it requires some taps (copy from launcher menu, switch source to SD card, select app...). If you want to deliver a self-served solution to your customers I'd recommend autolaunched installer version on SD card. Looks most comfortable solution for your lazy users. If you got no installer version just hack one yourself using any installer tool available or hire someone to make it for you. It shall cost you just one man-hour. And you're done. -- For information on using the ACCESS Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.access-company.com/developers/forums/
