Program loader

The RIM 950 Wireless Handheld SDK includes a command line utility

(PROGRAMMER.EXE) to load the compiled Windows DLLs onto the

physical wireless handheld. This utility will take the same DLL that was

debugged under Windows, and perform all necessary steps to load it on

to the Wireless Handheld. The utility can also be used to manipulate

applications that are already installed on the wireless handheld.

The PROGRAMMER.EXE utility performs many of the application loader

functions of the Desktop Manager utility shipped with every RIM

Wireless Handheld; it also performs tasks more suited to programmers’

needs.
