1.What's DA Laucher

@DA Launcher is system enhancement programs that launches Desk Accessory( or DA)  which is new type application on Palm powered handhelds.

2. What's Desk Accessory

 On Palm OS( on which Pilot and Palm Pilot runs ) , only One Application can run at the same time. Pilot's launch time is very short and well designed application can keep it's status, so It's not so bad for user.
 
 But Haven't you feel botherd when you must quit application to see Graffiti Help and resume it? It's same when you want to see today's date.
 As for developper's side, I want to develop some application that handle's other application's data but ordinary application can't do that. So we must make it as a HACK. But  HACK damages speed and stability even when it's not used only installed.

 Desk accessory is a small applet for such utilities.Desk Accessory can run overt the Application. You don't have to quit applicatino to run Desk Accessory. When Desk Accessory quits, Application continues to run.

 I'm sorry but We must develop Desk Accessorry as Desk Accessory( not  as ordinary Applcation) .I'm planning to release rules and samples to develop Desk Accessory.

 This package contains 10 sample Desk Accessoriies.Please try it and feel how desk accessory is convenient.
