The JAD file is like a 'description' used during download. If the phone
doesn't find it, it'll open up the JAR and try to find out about it that
way. The main purpose of the JAD is to assist in the download of the JAR.

RMS files contain your settings and configurations for the Java app, so if
you want to hang on to your high scores, then hang on to the RMS!
