- About PsiLot for PSion Series 5
- Copyright 1998 Ian Sayers
- All Rights Reserved.
-
- PsiLot is intended to provide an efficient and FUN means of maintaining,
- checking and creating UK Lottery data. The current version provides for the
- input of User Names and their selections, Updating of lottery data
- (all the previous draw data is also provided) and, most importantly,
- the checking of user selections against the lottery data. In addition
- the software also provides for the generation of printed copies of any of
- the user data directly from the program. Using this software prevents
- the headache of misplaced Tickets (the original Ticket is required to
- make any claim so do not lose it!) and a fun means to check whether or
- not you have won.

- ------------------
- The current version of the software is a beta release. I have also included
- a time limit on the beta version of 31 May 1998, just to make sure there
- are not too many beta versions to support! I have to make sure you will
- come back for the full version. After this date I should have the finished
- version available for those that still want it (it depends on how much work
- I have on before then).
-
- If you are interested I have also produced a Windows 95 version of the
- package called WinLot. The database files of PsiLot and WinLot can be
- swapped using the built in tools of PsiLot. So you can transfer files
- between the two packages. If you want more information on the Windows
- version, please let me know.
-
- If you have any suggestions for improvements, bug reports or additional
- features please let me know. I may not respond immediately, but I will
- try to get back to you.
-
- Setting up
- After unzipping all the files simply double click on the psilot.sis file,
- PsiWin should then appear and request the installation drive. PsiLot
- can use either the C: or D: drives. Once loaded the PsiLot
- icon should then appear in the extras box. Tapping on the icon will
- launch the prorgram. If the lottery data is over 10 days old the
- program will issue a warning. On running the first time you will
- have to create at least a single user. Please read the help file for
- further information.
-
- This is a shareware program that has no restrictions or "Nag Screens"
- so relies on the honour system. If you do register then Thank You for
- your support. If you win the lottery then remember me :-)
-
- If you continue to use this software for longer than 1 month without
- registering then shame on you!
-
- To Register
- First go to the About menu item and display the about text. If this
- is an unregistered copy then a "Register?" button will be displayed. Use
- this button to display the Unique Machine ID of your Psion Series 5. You
- will need this when asking for the registration key. You will also
- need to supply a registration name (max 15 chars). When the key is
- returned go back to this screen again and enter the registration name
- and key, the software should now be registered. To check go back to the
- About dialog it should now show the registration name, instead of
- "Unregistered Copy". The registration includes free upgrades as and when
- they are generated. It also includes the full release version.
-
- If you have to change you Psion Series 5 then you will need a new key.
- New keys for those having problems with their Psion Series 5
- are FREE for the first 5 new keys. So if you do change to a different
- machine and it is registered software then please use the software for
- a while on your new machine before requesting a new key. Just to make
- sure the new machine is operational! I have had two new Psion Series 5s!
