Using DmDatabaseInfo and checking crDateP won't get you the date the
application was installed onto the PalmOS device. It *will* return the build
date (the date/time that the .prc database was created). I was attempting to
use this method to determine the date when the app was installed and learned
that this was not the case. It was when the app was built. Verified it by
rebuilding several times and checking the date/time.
I haven't found a reliable way to get when the app was installed. In my
case, I create another database when my app gets installed so I just check
against that date.
