You need CabInstall.

Give a man a fish and he eats for one day.

Teach him how to fish and he never goes hungry.

Well, unless maybe the fish aren't biting.
But he could make a snack out of the bait, I guess.

Why use Cabinstall ?
i just put the *.cab in my axim and tap it, its installs by itself, isnt that the case always ?

Guess it wouldn't apply to Fly Fishing.

Unless you can subsist on feathers, thread and hooks.

MS Project: Pocket Plan
Adobe Reader: better use RepliGo. Adobe Reader is fat and makes you scroll a lot. RepliGo can "reflow" PDF files (and any file format that can be printed in Windoze.
