Ship a single PRC file.

Nutshell packages Palm files into a powerful compressed self-expanding installer. Eliminate installation-related support calls and headaches. Streamline your wireless content delivery. The possiblities are endless.

Here's 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.

Advanced features include:

• Works with any Palm and desktop computer. (Even Mac and UNIX.)
• Enables over-the-air (OTA) download of multi-file installations.
• Enjoy industry standard ZIP compression.
• The Nutshell can run automatically when it is installed.
