memory, some on the device but not in the main memory but on the device
itself and others can be installed on the storage card. There is a drop down
menu when you are installing the program that lets you chose which option.
The author of the program usually says which choices are ok. Harrison's is
a medical text book of internal medicine.
Thanks Don for your explanation and your hard work answering it! The
harrisons you found was the one I was talking about.

Subject: RE: [Treo] installing programs
I'll take a stab at it. With PalmOS, it's generally a per-application
choice as to whether it can be installed and run from a card. For example,
Documents To Go allows nearly all of the (rather large) program components
to be moved to the SD card once it's installed. There are also some
applications designed to run in memory but have their data on a card.
mVoice comes to mind as an example.
There are tools that move applications to the card and run them from there.
Powerrun is the one that comes to mind, but there are others.
There are some applications that do NOT run well from the card even with
Powerrun.
I doubt it can be completely seamless on Windows Mobile to just run any
application from the card (data transfer speed and timing would make it
difficult for some apps, such as a video recorder to run from just any old
SD card, for example, and applications do have to be in real memory to
actually execute, in any case), but it sounds a bit more seamless than
PalmOS right now.
I don't know what "Harrisons" is, but I looked for it and found this:
http://www.collectivemed.com/jump/uharr.shtml
If that's the Harrisons you're talking about, it says it takes 5mb of memory
and has "Secure digital (SD) card and memory stick support". If the
"Harrisons" you're talking about is a large database application, most all
of those have support for putting the db on an card.
Cheers,
Don

No answer about how to get programs to install on the card vs. the main
memory? I realize it's a simple question but I don't want to start
installing something like Harrisons and choke the palm. I'm used to pocket
pc with the choice.
