Here's an idea. There has been talk of this but I haven't seen am implementation of
this yet. One could write a compressor that
would get multiple prc's and pdb's into one big self extracting prc. You would then
only have one prc to beam over. Upon execution
on the other Palm device, it would extract all the compressed databases and prc's you
need in that format.
In the Windows world, there are packages and self extracting ZIP files. Technically,
an app like this is very possible on the
Palm. Someone just needs to write it.
