Easiest way -- create your database using a Palm program running in
POSE, then export the database to a file using the "Export Database"
command in POSE's menu.
There are also a bunch of utilities out there to make PDB files, the
wire format for Palm databases.
When you distribute the app, include both your program (PRC) and the
database (1 or more PDB files), and have the user install all of that.
