Sure. I've done it. Basically, you just compile a Palm OS application as
normal, except you set the database type to 'HACK' and link in the patch
routines.

No. The Launcher displays (non-hidden) application ('appl') databases (and
databases that have the "Launchable" bit set, but they still need an
application database with the same creator). Therefore, to launch such a
database, you'd need to call SysAppLaunch on it explicitly.
I don't think it'll do what you want--which is to receive the
sysAppLaunchCmdSystemReset launch code automatically. AFAIK, the system
automatically broadcasts launch codes only to certain database types, such as
applications and preference panels.
