Readme.txt HTML Converter 1.3 for the Psion Series 5 and 5mx (C) Marc de Oliveira & PocketIQ 1999-2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ Released as shareware. Manage your home pages on your Psion. Installation: ------------ Installation from SIS file: 1) Execute the HTMLConv.sis file on your pc or Psion. 2) Choose C or D drive for the installation (make sure that there is enought disk space). 3) The program will install itself. Installation from ZIP file: 1) Make sure the \System folder is shown on your Series 5 system screen. If it's not, enable it in the 'Preferences' dialogue. 2) Using PsiWin copy the files PYTHIA.OPO, PIQInfo.OPO, PIQInfo.RSC and PIQInfo.MBM to the folder \system\opl (you might have to create the folder) 3) Go into \System\Apps on C: or D: and make a new folder called "HTMLConv" 4) Using PsiWin, copy the following files to the new \System\Apps\HTMLConv folder: HTMLConv.app HTMLConv.aif HTMLConv.mbm HTMLConv.hlp HTMLCrea.opo 4) Copy the files systinfo.opx and sysram1.opx in the folder \system\opx 5) A new icon should appear on your Extras bar Problems -------- 1. Read only files Some times files become read only while being installed. None of the files should be read only. If you get any errors like the program is unable to write information to your Psion go through the program files to see if some of them are read only. In the system-view you can open the file property window by selecting (highlighting) a file and pressing Ctrl-P. In the property window you can see and set/clear the read only checkbox. 2. Copying between C and D Be very careful when you move or copy applications between the C and D drives. It seems that the Psion is not correctly updated when applicaions are copied from C to D or vice versa. Always delete the application directory from one drive before reinstalling on the other drive. 3. Low on battery When starting up this program for the first time a lot of writing is done to the disk. If your machine is low on battery these writes can go wrong and turn the application files bad. This should only be an issue when running the application the first time. 4. Not enough memory This program needs up to 300 Kb of free memory on the C drive. If you try to run the program with less than 300 Kb of free memory on the C drive it may not behave as expected. Usage: ------ Press Ctrl+Shift+H to see help file. Bugs: ----- - When opening the same HTML file twice with the Web Browser it might be cashed and, hence, not automatically reloaded.
