PalmDatabasesA directory containing .prc and .pdb files

Poplet Kit.prc is the Poplet Kit software. MathLib.prc is the C implemented mathematical function library needed to use the Math Poplet module. All the .pdb files are Poplet modules -- see Poplet Kit Handbook for descriptions.

Installation
Palm database "Poplet Kit.prc" contains the Poplet Kit base software, including all internet access Poplet modules.  Hotsync this single database to your Palm OS device to enable this web-access functionality. You can also beam this single database to other Palm OS devices to install an unregistered Poplet Kit with web access features on those devices.

Palm databases with names ending in ".pdb" are individual Poplet modules.  Hotsync each database individually to add that functionality to your Palm OS device.

Poplet modules are launched from within any application via the Poplet menu.  The Poplet menu is requested via the Poplet button (the popping cork icon) on the Palm OS command bar.  The command bar is displayed by doing a diagonal swipe from the bottom left of the graffiti area. This use of the command bar for the Poplet menu is a "clean" system extension -- it is not a hack.  There is also a hack-based approach which uses the calculator silkscreen button or one of the "hard" buttons to launch the Poplet menu.  This eliminates the swipe gesture in requesting the Poplet menu.  The choice of which button is specified in the Poplet Kit preferences dialog.  The PopletMenuButtonHack.prc database is individually hotsynced to your Palm OS device and must be enabled with a hack manager, such as HackMaster or X-Master.
