License Agreement INTRODUCTION ------------ Welcome to our Contact! program............. As with all of our programs this one will continue to be regularly enhanced following user feedback, and all the upgrades will be free to registered users. As it stands, this Shareware version is fully-working with no disabled functions, but will allow only a limited number of Contacts (25). Registration will give you unlimited contacts. Please note that registration does not involve reloading the program, but simply typing in a registration code to release the ‘lock’. INSTALLATION ------------ Contact! is installed from a .sis file, which contains all the required files for your language variant of the Psion 5. To install Contact! from a PC/Mac you need PsiWin 2.1. Use the Psion->Install New Program menu option, and choose Contact.sis from where you unzipped it to. You will be asked for which language you want to install, and which disk you want to install it to. PsiWin takes it from there! Alternatively you can copy the Contact.sis to your Psion and install it from there. Note you will require the Psion SIS installation application which came with PsiWin 2.1 to be installed on your Psion. Please note that a large file (Contact.sis) is left in /System/Install/. You will want to remove this file - I have no idea why it is left there. I am looking into this! You should install sysram1.sis and agnopx.sis in the same way. DO NOT DELETE YOUR .ini FILE FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS - YOU WILL NEED TO RE-ENTER YOUR REGISTRATION CODE IF YOU DO! FILE DETAILS ------------ The program consists of the following essential files, all installed automatically from the .sis file: Contact.app - The main program file Contact.mbm - The icons used within the program Contact.aif - The icons used in the System screen Contact.rsc - Language resource file module1.opo - Contact module CTB.opo - Contact Toolbar module SysRAM1.opx - An extension to OPL Agnopx.opx - Another extension to OPL Vwin.opo - Virtual Windows module (by R Panton, version 0.2a) And the following optional files which can be loaded as required: Contact.hlp - Optional Help File RUNNING THE PROGRAM ------------------- Start the program by selecting the ‘Extras’ from the Application bar and then ‘Contact’. You can learn everything you need to about the program by playing with it and checking the effect of each MENU selection, particularly the ‘View preferences’ options. There are no separate instructions, as we believe all the information you need is in the on-line Help file. All comments and, of course, registrations, gratefully received. REGISTRATION ------------ If you wish to register the program, you can do so by post (snail-mail), or on-line using the SWREG facility on CompuServe, or on the WWW by using RegNet (credit cards). If you are using the postal service, please send a cheque (check) (US, UK Sterling or Eurocheques only) for £20 or US$30 or 60DM payable to ‘RMR Software’ (or the equivalent in ‘real money’ in your actual currency) to one of the following addresses: RMR Software c/o 6000 Natick Court Burke, VA 22015 USA RMR Software c/o 46 Mortimer Road Kempston Bedford MK42 8RE ENGLAND RMR Software c/o PSIOlogic Versand Sudentenstrasse 46 D 63571 Gelnhausen GERMANY Please note these are addresses of our ‘agents’. If you use these addresses, Registration codes will be sent out fairly quickly, but if you send a technical query, it will have to be redirected to us, so might take a few weeks to reply. If you have access, we can be reached quickly by E-Mail at support@rmrsoft.com. The quickest way to register, if you have access to CompuServe, is to use GO SWREG and use Registration ID - 16867. The notification normally reaches me in 24 hours and I can reply with the code quickly, again normally within 24 hrs. (Ignore the question about the disc size when you register, you do not need one and note that paying by this method will involve an extra US$2 handling charge)) If you wish to register using a credit card you can register on the WWW through RegNet, the Registration Network. RegNet can be reached by e-mail: orders@swregnet.com or on the World Wide Web: http://www.swregnet.com or in the USA by calling 1-800-WWW2REG (1-800-999-2734) or the easiest way is by following the links from the RMR Software WWW Home page at: http://www.rmrsoft.com/ This program has been allocated the REGNET Number: 1404 and this should be quoted. Again, the notification tends to get to me within 24 hours and I reply within another 24 hrs. (Note that paying by this method will involve an extra US$5 handling charge) In each case, we (or our agents) will then send you a personalised registration code to enter (select the option either via the Menu or with ) to remove the ‘nag’ screens and allow full use of the program. Note that you will NOT need a new copy of the program, all the functionality is already there but just needs ‘unlocking’ by the registration code. We will also ensure that this code remains forward compatible for future versions of the program so, unlike other programs, we will not be asking for a further fee for an upgrade on the Series 5. FUTURE VERSIONS --------------- The current Beta version 1.1 will be improved before the full release - specifically to drastically improve the database responsiveness. The following enhancements are expected in future versions (but not in this order): A GeoFox Version Printing (First stage, a listing of contacts. Second stage, labels) Option to delete agenda entries when deleting tasks. Tapping a window will allow you to edit the text in the window. Exporting contacts in text files (.csv and .html) Finding entries when Ctrl-Tapping on a window. Pasting of additional fields into the Agenda entry (e.g. phone numbers). Alarms Additional information about a contact (e.g. last completed task, next task due) Special contact selection entry (to aid grouping of contacts) Category Field Zoom views (Normal, as now. Medium showing Nome, Company, Phones, Addresses in larger font. Large: Names and Phones.) Customised field names Customised fields Mark owners entry in the database Word templates Dialling (waiting for OPX, still) More task types (user definable) IrDA support User definable screen layout Integration with Psion Internet software. Integration with other software (e.g. PC) Other language support Enhanced Agenda integration (reliant on OPX) Mark contacts A-Z Index Find & Replace Company view Contact Category field Left/Right hand task bar The list is long, and it will take a while for them to be included.
