HotSync Reminder is ⌐1999 by Roger Chaplin <foursquaredev@att.net>

----------------
| Introduction |
----------------
HotSync Reminder is a utility that reminds you when it has been too long
since you have done a HotSync operation.
HotSync Reminder requires either Hackmaster (shareware, available at
http://www.daggerware.com), or EVPlugBase (freeware, available at
http://www.evscl.com/en/en_evplug.html).If you decide to use HackMaster,
please register it.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT EVPLUGBASE: It has been reported that EVPlugBase causes
sporadic fatal errors on the Handspring Visor. If you have a Visor, Foursquare
Development recommends that you use HackMaster instead of EVPlugBase.
----------------
| Installation |
----------------
The HotSync Reminder distribution includes this readme file and a PRC file:
HSReminder.prc. Use the following procedure to install HotSync Reminder:
1. If you have not yet installed HackMaster or EVPlugBase, do so
2. Install the PRC file onto your Palm Computing device
3. Launch HackMaster or EVPlugBase and enable HotSync Reminder
4. Tap on the + button next to HotSync Reminder in the HackMaster control
panel to bring up HotSync Reminder's preferences screen. Even though you
have enabled HotSync Reminder, it will remain inactive until you have
performed this step.
---------------
| Usage Notes |
---------------
HotSync Reminder warns only when you power on your device using one of the
five hardware buttons: the green power button; Date Book; Address List; To Do
List; Memo Pad. It does not warn if your programmed time has expired while the
device is powered on; it warns only when you are turning the device on. It
does not warn if the device is awakened by an alarm or by pressing the HotSync
button on the cradle.
-----------------
| Compatibility |
-----------------
HotSync Reminder runs on any Palm Computing platform device, with any version
of Palm OS.
There are some known conflicts between HotSync Reminder and other apps and
hacks:
StayOffHack: HotSync Reminder is compatible with StayOffHack v1.4. Earlier
versions of StayOffHack are rendered completely ineffective by
HotSync Reminder.
Commander: If you have a Startup Run command programmed in Commander, a
HotSync Reminder popup will override the Run command. However,
on those times that you power on your device and the HotSync
Reminder popup does not occur, your Run command will work
normally.

| Known Problems |
------------------
1. If the reminder pops up when you turn on your device, and then you either
turn your device off or let it auto power off before you dismiss the
reminder, you will have trouble turning your device back on. That is, when
you turn it on, it will immediately turn itself back off when you relese
the power button. To workaround this problem, keep holding the power
button down to keep the device turned on, and tap either of the buttons on
the reminder dialog.

| Revision History |
--------------------
October 25, 1999 v1.1
o Bugfix: incompatibility with Commander. With a Commander Startup Run
command programmed, the popup warning would appear only briefly, then
disappear.
o Bugfix: incompatibility with AppHack
o Bugfix: on a Palm VII, the HotSync button on the cradle would cause
the reminder to appear (only the power button and the four app buttons
are supposed to trigger a reminder)
August 10, 1999 v1.02
o Another rewrite to get back the speed that was lost in v1.01, but
retain the safety of the v1.01 rewrite
August 3, 1999 v1.01
o Rewrite to avoid a potential fatal error situation
July 18, 1999 v1.0
o First public release
