Nutshell packages Palm files into a powerful self-extracting installer. Eliminate installation-related support calls and headaches. Streamline your wireless content delivery. The possibilities are endless.
How It Works:
Distribute a Nutshell PRC file instead of multiple PRCs and PDBs.
Users install the Nutshell PRC just like a normal PRC file.
The Nutshell installer will show up in the Palm's main menu with your own icon and icon name.
When run, it will install all of your files, delete itself, and execute your app.
