Nutshell creates self-expanding installer PRC files for distributing Palm programs and data.

With Nutshell there is no longer any need to distribute multiple PRC and PDB files when distributing Palm software. Just create a Nutshell self-expanding installer.

After sending the installer file to any Palm device, users can just tap to install. After the installation is complete, the Nutshell can delete itself and automatically launch your program.

Here are some key features of "Nutshell":
Works with any palm and desktop. (Even Mac and Linux.)
Enables over-the-air (OTA) download of multi-file installations.
Enjoy industry standard ZIP compression.
Automatically creates an uninstaller.
Doesn't require any special software on the recipient's computer.
Display EULA or welcome message directly on Palm screen.
Includes an on-board Palm OS version of Nutshell.
Detailed documentation.
Install Datebook and Address Book entries.
Installers are fully EFIGS localized.
Smoothly handle minimum Palm OS version and previous installs.
Advanced scripting for intelligent installations. (PRO version only)
Command-line support for auto-build integration. (PRO version only).

What's New:
Eliminates a warning message which shows up in the Debug version of PalmSim when installing PRC files containing resources larger then 64K.

Requirements:
Palm OS 3.0 or higher.
