Re: How to find an application in the MMC

[Huiqiang Zhang]

Normally if your program locates in the folder "/PALM/Launcher/", the Palm 
OS will automaticly make a copy of it to the memory card(we can say, ram), 
then you can directly load the program of course.
But if not so, please move it to "/PALM/Launcher/", otherwise you must 
import this file to ram first(use function VFSImportDatabaseFromFile).

You're absolutely right!  The memory card is the ram, not mmc... I
forgot about that and was using the wrong function...
Which function should I use then? I mean, how to run an appclication
that is in the mmc from another application?

There's only one internal memory card inside a PalmOS handheld. Card
0. The API provides for the possibility of more cards someday, but its
never been necessary. This card number parameter has nothing to do
with external expansion cards - its for internal banks of RAM.
You'll need to use the VFS api functions to location your files, and
it works much like any other filesystem you may have used (Windows,
Unix, etc...)
