You can open the .jad file (OTA installer) you have downloaded with any text editor. In there, you will find the names of the .cod files as follows (Gmail app; in this case there are 3 files):

RIM-COD-URL-0: gm_42_L1.cod
RIM-COD-Size-0: 95264
RIM-COD-URL-1: gm_42_L1-1.cod
RIM-COD-Size-1: 91736
RIM-COD-URL-2: gm_42_L1-2.cod
RIM-COD-Size-2: 63556

To find out the actual URLs of those files you can use the URL of the .jad file which is:
http://www.gmail.com/app/v1.5.1/L1/gm-BlackBerry-42.jad

The .cod files are in the same path, so the URLs are:

http://www.gmail.com/app/v1.5.1/L1/gm_42_L1.cod
http://www.gmail.com/app/v1.5.1/L1/gm_42_L1-1.cod
http://www.gmail.com/app/v1.5.1/L1/gm_42_L1-2.cod

Download these files to a folder and you are ready to go. The ALX I created looks like this (to be saved in the same folder as the .cod files):

Code:
<loader version="1.0"> 
<application id="Gmail"> 
<name>Google Mail</name> 
<description>mobile gmail app</description> 
<version>1.5.1</version> 
<vendor>Google</vendor> 
<copyright>Copyright (c) 2007 Google</copyright> 
<fileset Java="1.0"> 
<files>
gm_42_L1-2.cod
gm_42_L1-1.cod
gm_42_L1.cod
</files>
</fileset> 
</application> 
</loader>
I hope this helps .


P.S.: Having no BIS / BES myself, I installed Gmail (among a whole bunch of other OTA-only applications) in the way described here, so I can tell for sure this will work if done correctly. I don't post the actual installer package here because I feel Google would not be happy about it.
