Arrow .jad files?

Hi All.

Whilst I am trying to learn how to build a 'custom' theme, I have another question!

I have had a little success making my own themes, but all of these have been for uploading using DM. Saves as .alx

I have purchased some OTA themes and I believe these are saved as .jad

I saved a theme as .jad and found 4 file in the folder.
One .jad file
Three .cod files

I can upload all 4 of these files to one of my web sites but how can I then install OTA.

I have tried entering the .jad address in my browser but that doesn't work. Which leads me to believe that there is more to this than meets the eye!
I have not tried entering the .cod address as there are 4 of these.

I have not installed any other software other than what was already on my BlackBerry, by the way. So, I can't imgine I need something else?

So, could someone explain what to do with these 4 files, in layman's terms please!

For my Storm, the .cod files, generated by Plazmic Theme Builder, are placed onto my Simulator and also, using the Desktop Manager, onto my phone. Doctor Neutron

Thanks DoctorNeutron.

That doesn't answer my question about how OTA installs work?

The theme builder created 4 files. What do I do with these 4 files for an OTA install?

It's seems it's not just a case of uploading the 4 files to a web site and then using the web address to install.

Look through the first 3 pages about OTA. There was a good thread about 2 or 3 weeks ago about OTA and .access files.
