IMPORTANT: Applications with identical creator IDs cannot coexist on the same handheld; during installation the new application will replace the existing application that possesses the same creator ID. Further, the new application could well corrupt any databases that were associated with the preexisting application. For this reason, all applications should have their own unique creator ID.
The doc - Palm OS Companion says like above, but I made test, the result was that both of two applications with same creator ID and different file names really exist there. Maybe it's a joke from Palm OS!^_^
regarding databases (prc and pdb): it's the database name which must be unique. The database name is case sensitive, but there is an issue with T5 and Treo650 regarding there new flash memory. So it's better to try to use case insensitive unique databse names.
The problem with the creator id lies in stuff like preferences, feature memory and that the Launcher will remove all entries with the same creator id during application remove.
