Welcome --------------- Welcome to TimePALm (c) 1998, ufp (pronounced with a silent "m"). Installation --------------- This software will only run on Windows 95-98 or Windows NT. There is currently no support for 16 bit Windows (3.1 or WFW) or Macintosh. The installation program will install the TimePALm files onto your computer and prepare the PalmPilot software for installation during your next HotSync. Please report any problems to . To install the files, unzip the archive to a temporary directory and run SETUP by double clicking the icon or locating the executable in the Start/Run dialog. The install will copy the files to the Pilot Desktop directory, add appropriate registry entries, prepare the .prc for installation during the next HotSync, and display this README. The install will attempt to close the HotSync Manager if it is running. You must restart the HotSync manager for TimePALm to function. Uninstallation --------------- Uninstallation is as simple as installation. Run the SETUP program with the -u option. This will uninstall the files from your host machine and remove the entries from your registry. This will NOT remove the files from your PalmPilot. You must run the memory application to do this. The SETUP program is not copied to your machine. You must run SETUP from the original downloaded archive. TimePALm --------------- TimePALm is simple. Assuming your PC connects to the internet or some other service more often than your PalmPilot, your PC's clock should be fairly accurate. There are countless programs available to sync up your PC's clock with internet Time Servers and various atomic clocks around the country. TimePALm will sync up your PalmPilot's clock with your PC's clock every time you HotSync. The operation is completely transparent and requires no user intervention. If you want to know how much the last sync changed the clock, run the PalmPilot application and it will show you the change. This software is shareware. If you like it, register it. If you don't like it, don't use it. Report problems to CoolSync --------------- CoolSync allows you to set the clock of your PalmPilot when, for whatever reason, you are unable to HotSync. CoolSync calculates how fast or slow your PalmPilot's clock is and adjusts it accordingly. The more sync records you save, the more accurate CoolSync will be. Assuming you HotSync once a day and you keep about ten to fifteen records, CoolSync will be fairly accurate. You can specify how many records you wish to keep in the CoolSync Preferences. CoolSync is only available in the registered version of TimePALm. For more detailed information on CoolSync see the file CoolSync.txt Registration --------------- If you like using TimePALm, please register the software for US $5.

Warranty --------------- The program is copyrighted shareware. Unmodified distribution of the unregistered version is allowed, but it may not be modified and then distributed, and no more then a nominal copying fee can be charged for distribution.
