- *Aylesbury] will accept no responsibility for any damage*
- *which occurs to either you or your system whilst using *
- *the program! I ALSO ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE *
- *LOSS OF DATA WHILST YOU ARE USING MY PROGRAM. *
- *I makes no wild claims that the program will protect *
- *your Agenda Files in every situation, so if the program*
- *doesn't protect your data for any reason, don't blame *
- *me. You use PassAgn at your own risk. You have the *

- Contents
- ***********
- This ZIP file should contain the following:
- Readme.txt (this file)
- Pasagn3a.opa (the program for the Psion 3a)
- Pasagn3c.opa (the program for the Psion 3c)
-
- *************
- *NEW IN V1.8*
- *************
-
- *PASSWORD ENCRYPTION!!!*
-
- Installation
- ************
- This is very straight foreward, simply put the .OPA you
- need in any directory (on any disk), preferably \app,
- and use Psion-I from the system screen to install it.
- Before installation, you MUST remove the Psion's own
- Agenda App (Psion and / over the app's icon) so that
- any unsuspecting person would think that my prog is the
- real Agenda App and also because both programs report the
- same name ("Agenda") to the System. From then on treat
- it as the normal Agenda App. If you have a Psion 3a, use
- "PASAGN3A.OPA", if you have a new Psion 3c, use "PASAGN3C.OPA"
-
- ************************************************************
- * PLEASE NOTE *
- ************************************************************
- *A un-ambiguos file named Agenda.ini will be created in *
- *the \OPD directory of your internal drive. This stores *
- *the password you have chosen. However, since the password *
- *is encrypted, it's not as un-safe as it sounds! *
- ************************************************************

- About the Prog
- **************
- I wrote this prog because I wanted to have some form
- of protection for the Agenda App on my Psion. Simple
- as that really. I then thought that once I had got it
- into an acceptable state that it would be of use to
- other Psion users
-
- About the Author
- ****************
- P.K.Spencer is a 16 year old from Aylesbury. He has
- very little OPL experience and is learning to write
- programs. This is one of his first attempts. The Prog
- appears to have no bugs but if you find any or have any
- comments/suggestions for future versions then I welcome
- your input either by:
-
- E-Mail on nicko@nildram.co.uk or 106023,676 on CIS
-
- OR at

-
- Registering
- ***********
- PassAgn 1.81F is distributed as Shareware. To register
- on Compuserve, GO SWREG 11899 or send 5 UKP to the
- above address with either your E-Mail address so I can
- mail the code to you or with a an SAE. This code will
- disable the nag screens, pauses, etc. 5 UKP isn't a lot
- to register and it'll help me develop future versions
- (and other programs). I don't have much time free as
- I'm doing my GCSE's so I need an incentive :-)
-
- How to Use PassAgn
- ******************
- The first time you run PassAgn you will be asked for a
- password you wish to use and also to re-enter the same
- password for confirmation. You will then be passed on
- to the start-up screen. This is the screen you will
- encounter from now on when you enter the program again.
- Here you will have to enter the password you
- defined before. You have the option to configure. If you
- select NO - Agenda will be launched with the file chosen
- or created from SYSTEM. If you select YES - you get passed
- to the menu.
- The options here are a)Start Agenda b) change
- password and c)Delete Agenda File (all under the "Agenda"
- menu card.) These are fairly self-explanatory. When you
- select "Start Agenda", Agenda is launched as before with the
- selected file from the System Screen.
- The next Card (called registration) allows you
- to either enter the registration key code or read how
- you go about registering.
- Finally is the "Special" Card. Here you'll
- find the about screen, the help and the exit command.
- From then on everything is very simple :-) FULL, ONLINE
- HELP IS AVAILABLE BY PRESSING HELP AT ANY TIME IN THE
- MENU OR CONFIGURE SCREEN.
- NOTE: If you switch away from the configure screen
- then PassAgn requires you to re-enter the PassWord.
-
- Features
- *********

- Other Programs by Me
- ********************
- Have you tried TimeMan? This excellent and easy to use collection
- of Time related/time managment utilities proves useful to almost
- every Psion user. The latest version is 3.42F and the .zip is only
- about 40K - so why not download it from all the usual sources and
- of course from my wwb page - go one, give it a try!
-
- HAVE FUN!!
