Welcome
---------------
Welcome to TimePALm (c) 1998, ufp (pronounced with a silent "m").
Installation
---------------
This software will only run on Windows 95-98 or Windows NT. There is
currently no support for 16 bit Windows (3.1 or WFW) or Macintosh.
The installation program will install the TimePALm files onto your
computer and prepare the PalmPilot software for installation during
your next HotSync. Please report any problems to
<installpalm@ufp.com>.
To install the files, unzip the archive to a temporary directory and
run SETUP by double clicking the icon or locating the executable in
the Start/Run dialog. The install will copy the files to the Pilot
Desktop directory, add appropriate registry entries, prepare the .prc
for installation during the next HotSync, and display this README. The
install will attempt to close the HotSync Manager if it is
running. You must restart the HotSync manager for TimePALm to
function.
Uninstallation
---------------
Uninstallation is as simple as installation. Run the SETUP program
with the -u option. This will uninstall the files from your host
machine and remove the entries from your registry. This will NOT
remove the files from your PalmPilot. You must run the memory
application to do this. The SETUP program is not copied to your
machine. You must run SETUP from the original downloaded archive.
TimePALm
---------------
TimePALm is simple. Assuming your PC connects to the internet or some
other service more often than your PalmPilot, your PC's clock should
be fairly accurate. There are countless programs available to sync up
your PC's clock with internet Time Servers and various atomic clocks
around the country.
TimePALm will sync up your PalmPilot's clock with your PC's clock
every time you HotSync. The operation is completely transparent and
requires no user intervention. If you want to know how much the last
sync changed the clock, run the PalmPilot application and it will show
you the change. This software is shareware. If you like it, register
it. If you don't like it, don't use it.
Report problems to <timepalm@ufp.com>
CoolSync
---------------
CoolSync allows you to set the clock of your PalmPilot when, for
whatever reason, you are unable to HotSync. CoolSync calculates how
fast or slow your PalmPilot's clock is and adjusts it accordingly. The
more sync records you save, the more accurate CoolSync will
be. Assuming you HotSync once a day and you keep about ten to fifteen
records, CoolSync will be fairly accurate. You can specify how many
records you wish to keep in the CoolSync Preferences. CoolSync is only
available in the registered version of TimePALm.
For more detailed information on CoolSync see the file CoolSync.txt
Registration
---------------
If you like using TimePALm, please register the software for US $5.
The registered version includes CoolSync technology and free
maintenance upgrades (i.e. bug fixes). See
http://www.ufp.com/palm.html for more information.
Warranty
---------------
The program is copyrighted shareware. Unmodified distribution of the
unregistered version is allowed, but it may not be modified and then
distributed, and no more then a nominal copying fee can be charged for
distribution. The registered version may not be distributed. Please
retain this document with the program.
No warranty is provided for this program, expressed or implied. You use it
strictly at your own risk. I do not expect this program to damage your Pilot
or the information stored on it, but I cannot guarantee that it will not. If
you experience any trouble, please contact me.
