Will the application be run from the card? From what I've seen, isn't it copied to the Palm memory first, then run? And (since I can discuss 4.0 questions here), can I have the Launcher defer the copy to a 3rd party program to copy from the card? My application is RUnZIP, which decompresses applications turned into launchable databases into Palm memory using a process that sounds similar to what the 4.0 launcher does. I could pull them directly from the card and avoid the extra copy operation. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
