Switcheroo is a HackMaster utility
program that allows you to rapidly launch applications from any program, without using the
Palm OS launcher application. A quick activation stroke, followed by the character you
have assigned to a particular application, is all that is required to launch a new
program. 3.8 kb, freeware. Get it HERE
!! The Switcheroo program is designed to run on any Palm OS device running Palm OS version
2.0 or later. In addition, Switcheroo requires either HackMaster or EVPlugBase to be
installed in order to run. HackMaster and EVPlugBase are programs that manage system
extension programs ("hacks"). HackMaster is shareware and may be downloaded from
DaggerWare.
EVPlugBase is free and may be downloaded from PalmGear H.Q.
Switcheroo is free software,
distributed under GNU
General Public License. If you'd like to take a look at the C source code (or use it
for your own nefarious purposes), it's included with the program. The source may be built
with the Palm PRC-Tools version 2.0 and the Palm OS 3.5 SDK.

Symbian's
