This document describes the installation of BrainForest Mobile Edition on Windows and Macintosh computers. While the contents of the downloaded archive contain a number of files, the BrainForest installation requires that two (2) files be instaled:
1) BrainForest.prc (BrainForest Mobile Edition program)
2) BFME Ref.pdb (BrainForest Mobile Edition Reference Guide)
Optionally, you may install two other items. Since storage space on Palm devices is limited, we suggest that you install only the Plug-Ins you need
1) BF Text Plug.prc (BrainForest Text Plug-In), for importing from and exporting to the built-in MemoPad application.
2) BF ToDo Plug.prc (BrainForest To Do Plug-In), for importing from and exporting to the built-in To Do List application.
The four items above are supplied in a Zip or StuffIt archive. Regardless of the desktop computer you are using, use your favorite expansion tool and decompress all files to the desktop. If you are unsure how to expand files, refer to your compression software User's Guide or see the Aportis Customer Care FAQ at http://www.aportis.com.
System Requirements
-------------------
While BrainForest Mobile will work with any Palm Computing Platform Device, we highly recommend the use of current versions of Palm OS and Windows or Macintosh 3Com software.
Our observations in the month of May, 1998 showed that Pilot 1000 and 5000 owners should be using at least Palm OS 1.0.6 Update (PalmPilot-side) and, for Windows owners, at least PalmPilot Desktop 2.1 or, for Macintosh users, Conduit Manager 1.01. The same observations showed that PalmPilot Personal, PalmPilot Professional, and IBM WorkPad owners should install the latest updates, using at least Palm OS 2.0.4 Update (PalmPilot-side) and, for Windows owners, at least PalmPilot Desktop 2.1 or, for Macintosh users, Conduit Manager 1.01.
