Not if the archive deletes parts of itself as it self-extracts, much like destructive read mode for file streams. This isn't hard to do. The hard part is deleting the last bit: the code that does the self-extracting. Now that the cat's out of the bag, I can tell you that Palm OS 4.0 supports beaming multiple objects directly. In particular, if you beam an application with an overlay between two devices running Palm OS 4.0, the overlay will be sent as well as the base, and the user will only be prompted once. This probably doesn't help you because you probably want to support back to at least 3.5. -- Danny Epstein OS Engineer, Palm Inc. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
