-
- Installation
- ============
-
- Host platforms
- --------------
-
- We deliver our products via email or on 3.5" floppy discs (1.44 MB IBM Format)
- On request we can send out 720 kB floppy discs.
- These formats can be read by PC, Mac, Amiga, Atari, Acorn.
-
- If you received the software via email or downloaded it from an electronic
- network you will received it in compressed format (PKZIPF). You will need
- the latest version of PKUNZIP to decompress the software.
-
- On the Macintosh do not use the standard UNZIP utility. Instead, use
- the ZIPIT utility which you will find on your network.
- In ZIPIT uncheck the box that says: "By default, smart-strip line feeds
- from text files."
-
- As a rule of thumb avoid options containing the word "smart".
-
-
- Installation from PC or Mac
- ---------------------------
-
- 1. Decompress the software (see above).
-
- 2. Connect your Series3 computer to your PC or Mac. Start MCLINK
- and activate "Remote link" from the PSIONs system screen.
-
- 3. Set the cursor under the RunOPL-icon (not under the OPL editor!) and
- press TAB. When the file selection screen appears, press TAB again.
- In the first line of the dialog box specify the name of the installation
- directory (where the new software is stored), e.g. REM::C:\CSERVE\DOWNLOAD\
- A file selection list appears.
-
- 4. Select the file !setup3.opa (first file). Press ENTER.
- SetUp3 now takes control. The screen goes blank for a few seconds. Don't panic.
- A file selector box appears.
-
- 5. If the file selector box shows the product name, just press ENTER.
- If the file selector box shows a language, choose a language of your choice.
- If your language is not mentioned, select "international", which is English.
-
- 6. The file transfer starts. If the product was installed before,
- SetUp3 will start a dialog asking you if you want to
- (Continue) = Overwrite existing version
- (Other drive) = Install new version on different drive
- (Options only) = Install options you did not install the first time.
-
- 7. SetUp3 asks you on which drive you want to install the software
- and on which drive you usually keep your data.
- We recommend flash memory for the system and usually RAM for data.
-
- 9. SetUp3 will ask you about optional modules. You can decide to install
- them now, or you can leave it for later.
-
- 10.SetUp3 will give instructions on how to proceed after the successful
- transfer.
-
-
- Installation from other platforms
- ---------------------------------
-
- On other platforms than PC or Mac there are two possibilities:
-
- A) You have enough free memory, preferably on internal memory, RAM or a spare Flash pack.
- Proceed as follows:
-
- 1. Decompress the software (see above).
-
- 2. Transfer the whole installation folder to a new installation folder on
- the palmtop (M:\INSTAL\ for instance).
- However, there is no need to tranfer *.ZIP, *.TXT, and *.FRM files, so you may
- leave these ones out.
-
- 3. Set the cursor under the RunOPL-icon (not under the OPL editor!) and
- press TAB. When the file selection screen appears, navigate to the new
- installation folder on the palmtop.
- Continue as described above under (4).
- After installation is completed remove the installation folder from the palmtop.
-
-
- B) If you do not have so much memory an assisted manual installation is still possible.
- Proceed as follows:
-
- 1. Decompress the software (see above).
-
- 2. Connect your Series3 computer to your host computer. Start the host
- communications software and activate "Remote link" from the PSIONs system screen.
-
- 3. Copy !setup3.opa into M:\APP\ .
- Copy a *.ipf file of your choice into M:\APP\ .
- Install !setup3 to the system screen (see user manual).
-
- 4. Activate !setup3 by positioning the highlight under it and pressing ENTER.
- A file selector box appears.
-
- 5. Acknowledge the file selector box by pressing ENTER.
-
- 6. The installation begins. If the product was installed before,
- SetUp3 will start a dialog asking you if you want to
- (Continue) = Overwrite existing version
- (Other drive) = Install new version on different drive
- (Options only) = Install options you did not install the first time.
-
- 7. SetUp3 asks you on which drive you want to install the software
- and on which drive you usually keep your data.
- We recommend flash memory for the system and usually RAM for data.
-
- 9. SetUp3 will ask you about optional modules. You can decide to install
- them now, or you can leave it for later.
-
- 10.SetUp3 will ask you to copy files from the installation directory
- on the host computer to a target destination on the PSION.
- Start the file transfer from your host computer. When the file has
- been transmitted, acknowledge be pressing ENTER on the PSION.
-
- 11.SetUp3 will give instructions on how to proceed after the successful
- transfer.
-
-
- When things go wrong
- --------------------
-
- If the installation does not run smoothly, do not try to install
- manually. The chance is, that if Setup3 or the installation control (IPF)
- file was corrupted, that other modules are corrupted, too.
-
- Please read the instructions again and repeat installation.
-
- You could also try to use a lower transmission speed between host and PSION.
-
- If the problem should persist, check for data corruption.
- Order another floppy disc, or download again.
-
- If the problem still persists, please seek our advice.
-
-
- Morpheus
- --------
-
- Please do not send us questions "What is Morpheus". Instead read this:
-
- One of the tricky things when writing OPL-applications is the HELP-key.
- For instance, it is not possible to react to the HELP-key when a menu
- or a dialog box is on the screen, which is not very nice, because you
- may want help to fill out that dialog box.
-
- That is the reason why we created Morpheus. Morpheus is a independent
- application which runs in the background and intercepts the HELP-key.
- Morpheus checks which application is in the foreground and will then
- display the appropriate help texts.
-
- The other function of Morpheus is to handle alarms (for the products
- ProPoc and HyperPoc). It can do this better than the Agenda.
-
- Morpheus is launched automatically by any application that uses Morpheus'
- services. Morpheus will stay active as long as a client application is
- active or any Morpheus-alarms are scheduled. (The actual shutdown may
- be delayed for 1 minute). So, usually you don't have to shutdown
- Morpheus manually.
-
- One of the beauties of the system is that Morpheus can serve many masters.
- So if you use some of our products simultanously, still only one
- copy of Morpheus will be active.
-
- All our installations install Morpheus to the internal drive even if
- you have chosen another system drive, because that is the best place.
- Installing Morpheus to an SSD would cause later problems, because you
- would not be able to reformat that disk without stopping Morpheus manually.
-
- If you must, here is the way:
-
- Install Morpheu2 to the system screen (see user manual)
- Then press PSION-Z(S3) or SHIFT-PSION-X(S3a) to kill Morpheus.
- If Morpheus was running it will respond with a beep and will die.
- Deinstall Morpheus (see user manual).
-
- Deinstallation
- --------------
-
- To deinstall the application from you palmtop proceed as follows.
-
- 1. First backup your system.
-
- 2. If you don't have other applications that use Morpheus:
- Stop Morpheus as described above.
- Remove MORPHEU2.OPA and folder \MORPHEU2 from the folder M:\APP.
-
- 3. n.a.
-
- 4. If you do not have other applications from us (POC-appications)
- remove the folder \APP\COMMON from the system drive.
-
- 5. Remove the file MUSIPOC.OPA and the folder MUSIPOC from
- the folder \APP on the system drive.
-
- 6. Remove the datafolders TUN from the data drive(s).
-
- 7. Remove the license file MUSIPO.$$$ from the root directory M:\
