I use the PalmSource Installer and it is very nice. ZBoxZ is mostly an archiver 
- not an installer. Nutshell looks good - but is not free and doesn't seem 
capable of doing more than what the free PalmSource Installer can do. I'm not 
sufficiently familiar with Combiner.

Another free (but simple) installer that can install multiple files 
over-the-air and is controlled by an XML config file on the Web server is the 
SmartUpdate for PalmOS:

http://freewarepalm.com/communication/smartupdateforpalmos.shtml

I intend to support it, since "support" mostly means creating a simple XML file 
and making it available on a Web page, together with the files that the 
application consists of. However, it doesn't use compression, doesn't support 
multiple devices/OS versions/languages with automatic selection from the user's 
device and the other bells and whistles that the PSI has.

For professional work, I strongly recommend the PSI. Its executable is likely 
to be in the ROM of future devices. You can't beat the price, either. :-)

Vesselin
