- Ghardeno: Read Me
- -----------------
-
- Warning: the current (0.9.9) version of Ghardeno is beta software.
- This means that, though I tried to prevent most problems, it has
- not yet been thoroughly tested and may contain critical bugs
- leading to crash or even data loss...
-
- Here is Ghardeno, a "tasks/shopping/misc." list organizer for your
- Palm, which aims to replace (or complete) the built-in "To Do"
- application. Its approach to list management is quite different from
- other similar software. Basically, the idea is that it is easier to
- directly manipulate things than to tag them with abstract properties
- (such as priority numbers).
-
- Like the built-in "To Do" application, Ghardeno can help you to keep
- track of one or more lists of items (i.e. things to do, things to buy,
- the main ideas of your next research paper...). There is several
- differences, though:
-
- * You don't have to assign a priority: instead, you can manually sort
- the list with drag'n'drop. Just grab the bullet before an item and
- drag it to its new place.
-
- * Each item can be displayed in normal, bold or large font. This can
- be used e.g. to indicate the importance of a task (while the rank in
- the list would indicate its urgency).
-
- * Items are "crossed out" on screen to indicate they are completed (or
- bought, or whatever). This makes easier to see what remains to do
- (or buy, or whatever); of course it would be even easier if they
- just disapeared, but then it would be too easy to check something by
- mistake and not be aware of it...
-
- * You can cross an item directly on screen: just put your stylus on
- its bullet and move it horizontally toward the other side of the
- screen. Alternatively, when an item is selected or being edited you
- can use the checkbox at the bottom of the screen.

-
- How to install
- --------------
-
- Just install the file "ghardeno.prc" you'll find in the root directory
- of the distribution (the same as this ReadMe :).
-
-
- And Where is the Documentation ?
- --------------------------------
-
- Point your browser to the file "index.html" in the "Docs" directory.
- It's a work in progress, and you may find it's not very useful at the
- moment, though.
-
-
- How to compile
- --------------
-
- All the sources and resources are in the "Src" directory.
-
- Unix:
-
- If you have the prc-tools and pilrc installed, it should just be a
- matter of doing a 'make' in the root directory of the distribution.
-
-
- Disclaimer

- Note that two different licenses are used: most is under GPL, except
- some parts that are under LGPL. See the source files in the "Src"
- directory for details. You can find a copy of the GPL and the LGPL in
- the "Docs" directory.
