Make a .pdb file with the relevant info. The format is your choice.
There's no great way to create PDB files, but there are some utilities
floating around. Palm also offers the file format on www.palmos.com
So basically, what'd you do is this. Have:
app.prc
acme.pdb
fox.pdb
In the case of Fox, you give them an Installshield app with app.prc and
fox.pdb
and have both sync on to the Palm. However, internally, the PDB will have
some
type/creator/name information that you specifically look for in app.prc and
you can dynamically construct your form from that database.
