I wouldn't spent much time to protecting your app from
copying or moving to the card.  A file manager can
easily copy or move the app to the card.  The native
PalmOS launcher checks the "copy protected" bit in the db
attrs. If its set then you can not copy or beam.

You can use any file manager to change the "copy-protected"
bit.

Have a look at myWorkbench file manager at www.toysoft.ca
