Make a Palm application copyable

Sometimes Palm applications are copy-protected, preventing them from being beamed to another Palm or being copied from the SD card to RAM. Attempting to copy these applications shows message "Copy-protected apps and databases cannot be copied. These are listed with a lock icon next to them."

To change make the application copyable:

1. Download PRCedit from here, unzip, run PRCedit.exe.
2. Open the PRC file.
3. 0x20 is the offset of the 'flags' header. The 0x40 bit set to flag the executable as non-copyable (non-beamable). So to make it copyable, subtract 0x40 from the value. e.g. if the value is 0049 make it 0009:
   
   
   
   
   
4. Save and then sync the updated application or copy to the SD card. Then beam/copy freely.
