-
- Thank you for using LoveCalc!
-
-
- Introduction
- ============
- This program can help you calculate the probability on a successful
- relationship between two people, simply input both names (include first
- and last name) into the two text boxes, and press "Calculate!".
-
- A matching percentage and a number of hearts will be displayed on
- the bottom of the screen, showing how many percent the two names match.
- Once you've got the result, you can press "Reset" to clear the display,
- ready for calculating another two names.
-
- Sorry to non-english user, this program at the moment, can only
- correctly calculate english names. You can input non-english charaters,
- but the resulting percentage may not be what you expect... ^-^
-
-
- Options
- =======
- There're two fields, "Name1" and "Name2" on the screen. If you want
- to have the program automatically default your Palm's owner name to the
- "Name1" field, please go to the "Options" menu, call up the "About LoveCalc"
- screen, and enable the "default to owner name" checkbox option. The next
- time you press "Reset", your name will be automatically filled-in.
-
-
- Special Trick
- =============
- To increase the fun of this little program, I've incorporated a small
- "trick" into LoveCalc. For example, if you come across a new and special
- someone, you would surely want to show him/her this program, and hope it
- would give out a "high" percentage between you two...
-
- No problem! You can do that using LoveCalc! Simply press the hardware
- "ScrollDown" key, to put the program into "trick" mode, before you press
- "Calculate", and you'll always get a 80+ percentage!
-
- A small dot in the lower-left corner of the screen will indicate whether
- "trick" mode is enabled. You can cancel trick mode anytime by pressing the
- hardware "ScrollDown" key again, also please remember, everytime you press
- "Reset", the "trick" mode is cancelled too.
-
-
- IR Beaming (NEW!)
- =================
- One of the biggest enhancement in LoveCalc v2.0 is the addition of IR
- beaming capability! This new feature enable two LoveCalc users to test "love
- percentage" with each other remotely, through the use of the IR port!
-
- With this wonderful new feature, LoveCalc is much more fun than ever!
- Because as long as you have it installed on your Palm, you can use your
- Palm as a tool to meet new friends! Especially when you come across a new
- and special someone, and you want to let each other know how much do you
- match together!
-
- To use IR beaming, simply pass the hardware "ScrollUp" key, and your name
- will be beamed to the receiver's Palm automatically. At the meanwhile, the
- receiver's Palm will response by beaming his/her name back to you, and then
- the "love percentage" will be calculated and shown on both parties' screen!
-
- Furthermore, the "trick" mode also works through IR Beaming! That means,
- if you have enabled "trick" mode before you start beaming, the receiver will
- get a tricked percentage! This is very useful to "impress" your new dream
- partner!
-
- Isn't this amazing? ^-^

- Author
- ======
- LoveCalc is my first attempt in writing program for Palm using C/C++.
- Before this program, I've actually written another small program for
- testing purpose (that was really my first Palm program), but that was
- written in Java for the KVM. Since a program for KVM requires the KVM
- to run, it is quite a overhead for such small program like this one.
-
- Remember, LoveCalc is a freeware! Should you encounter any problem, or
- should you have any idea or recommendations which maybe a good feature to
- add into LoveCalc, you're very welcome to contact me!

- Free Registration Idea
- ======================
- Since LoveCalc is a freeware, I won't get any support in return for
- investing on development, even if you like this program very much. But
- don't worry! You can still help the author, without even spending a penny
- out of your pocket! This is what I call "Free Registration", let me explain!
-
- I have think of this idea, so that you can help me to gain money, but
- the money need not pay by you, but by my website sponsors! All you need
- to do is simple: visit my website at http://i.am/lesliet, go to my "Palm"
- page, and in the "Goodies" section, click on as many advertisments that
- interest you, and help me to register for their free services.
-
- By doing this, my sponsors will pay me money in return, and at the
- same time, you can obtain free services that maximize the use of your Palm,
- and my sponsors will also get new members! This is a win-win-win situation,
- where both me, you, and my sponsors get something in return!
