What's a Creator ID?
What's a creator ID, why do I need one, and how do I get it?
Every Palm application needs to have a unique creator ID. This is a four byte number that's usually shown as a series of 4 characters. (e.g.unsigned long crid = 'xFoo';) This is what the Palm uses to determine which app is which. If two applications have the same creator ID, the second one hot-synched to the device will overwrite the first one. To make sure that there are no conflicts, Palm Computing maintains an online database of creator IDs. It's your responsibility to check this database and add a unique ID for any Palm program you produce. I recommend that you do this for any Palm program, even if you don't plan to release it to the rest of the world.
