Introduction
------------
PRDPad is an application which was designed to be used
with Palm ReDirector to extend the capabilities of your
Palm Computing device. PRDPad allows the Palm Device
to send data to the Desktop printer or Clipboard without
the need to synchronize. Simply set your Palm Device in
the cradle, load the Memo in PRDPad and print. No HotSync
required. It's that easy!
Additionally, Palm ReDirector will allow Palm to Modem
serial communications which allows you to access your
ISP by using your PC's internal/external modem! While
PRDPad is free to download, Palm ReDirector is shareware
and there is a one-time charge of $19 for your license or
you may try it FREE for 15 days. Use this version of
PRDPad (1.8) instead of the one which accompanied the
Palm ReDirector 2.0.1 archive unless you prefer the
CASL runtimes.
What's New in this Version
--------------------------
* All PRD Protocol Tags now are applied to the beginning
rather than the end of the Loaded Memo. This makes much
more sense than applying the Tags to the end of the Memo.
You can now quickly and easily Load a Memo, Click "Bold"
or change the Font Size/Style and then print the results!
* Versions of PRDPad prior to release 1.7 required the CASL
runtime libraries. Version 1.7 and above no longer makes
use of the CASL Libraries as it is compiled code.
Requirements
------------
To use PRDPad, you must have downloaded and installed
Palm ReDirector Version 2.0.1 (or higher). This is the
desktop PC resident application that is needed to complete
the tasks which PRDPad will transmit. Do not install the
PRDPad that accompanies version 2.0.1 as the version within
this archive will completely replace the one included in
version 2.0.1.

Possible uses of Palm ReDirector and PRDPad:
-------------------------------------------
1) Many users use Palm ReDirector with TGPostman to check their
home e-mail on their Palm Device while away from home by dialing
into their personal ISP's.
2) Field people may configure the HotSync Manager on their PC to allow
incoming calls on their home computer. Using Palm ReDirector on
a remote PC (say a Laptop or Desktop computer) one can dial-in to
their Home computer (Modem Sync) and remote HotSync!
3) PRDPad allows anyone to quickly send data from the Palm Device to
the PC's Printer or Clipboard.
4) Developers use Palm ReDirector to test out software that makes use
