Northglide Cloner

Northglide Cloner is a truly unique program that lets you extend your favorite applications like never before. By making exact replicates of selected applications, Northglide Cloner lets you create your own multi-user Palm! Keep multiple Address Books, Date Books, accounting programs with multiple accounts, games with different difficulty levels and so much more. You can create replicates just to play with, without damaging the original data, and even create shortcuts to launch applications with a selected profile directly from your favorite launcher screen. If one of your favorite applications is limited to a single profile, or you are relying on an old program that will never be updated again, Northglide Cloner is for you!

When you switch between replicated profiles of a certain application, you can use and change anything you want, without affecting any other profile. The new additions and changes are saved for the next time the chosen profile is activated. Northglide Cloner creates exact copies of the application preferences (settings) and database files. Then, it lets you switch to different profiles while saving all the changes made to the active one. You can choose to create the profile in the main memory (RAM) or multiple profiles on the expansion card: Profiles in the main memory are much faster to activate, but since the additional profile database files are kept in the main memory, every application will occupy almost double the amount of space (only its database files, without the application file itself). This is why you can only create a single additional profile in the main memory. You can create up to four different profiles on the expansion card. Card profiles are slower to activate, since the data used by the active profile has to be first moved to the card and then the new profile files have to be copied from the card to the main memory. You can even create additional profiles to applications that require desktop synchronization (such as the Calendar and Contacts programs) and have Northglide Cloner switch back to the default profile, just before the HotSync process beings, so that the correct data will be synchronized with the desktop computer. Northglide Cloner lets you to link profiles to each other and activate several different profiles at once (especially useful when creating additional profiles to 3rd party PIM replacement applications).
