Maybe I can explain it better.

For example: I want to send my paper to someone, it is a microsoft office doc
format, or a abobe pdf format, or god-knows-there-are-soooo-many formats. 
Certainly I can somehow put it in a PDB, but that would require a recipent to
have a program on his/her PalmPDA to understand the file to beam it back to a
PC/Laptop running windows/linux.  That may not always be possible or easy. 
However if I can manage to send over a prc, it can run right away and do the
actual beaming work. That would be cool. It is like self-extracting archrive.
