I have the compact flash driver and now more memory than i know what to do with.

I am a medical resident and I have a lot of skyscape programs that you can store the databases on the CF card, however you still have to keep the PRC file on the handheld. I have so many PRC's that I am running out of space on the handheld.

My question,
Is there a program out there that allows you to set up profiles so that when you select say "the medicine profile" it loads all of the programs in that profile to the handheld and if you wanted to make other profiles like a recreational one that ran like acid image and games, etc. and so forth. It would be better than manually transferring files to and from the handheld to allow different programs to run. I hope my question makes sense.

Anyway, that would really make the CF expansion card even more useful.

Thanks

I'm not aware of any apps that do this, but I really like that idea!

Oh yes there ARE programs that allow you to move the PRG's to external memory (MS or CF or IBM microdrive)
1. I would suggest you to vuy or try X-launcher: a wonderful launcher with much more (e.g. moving PRC's to the external memoriy - and back if you want)
2. Power Run: a programm that moves and runs apps from external memory
a tipp: if you want to use you cheaper compact flash cards(CF) and/or your IBM Microdrive you have to buy a special card driver (Sonyonly have drivers for THEIR proprietary hartdware, e.g. bluetooth cards...). You find that driver on www.eruware.com

You can use powerrun, that is what I use.

Put all your database files on the launcher folder on your memory stick and then use powerrun to store each skyscape program under the powerrun directory. Make sure each directly for each program.

Tha way powerrun runs the prc file into your ram when you run it and then the prc file uses the database on the memoey stick
