- Clock 5 is a Revo / Series 5 / 5mx / Geofox / Ericsson MC218 /
- Series 7 / netBook / Osaris password-protected screensaver - much like
- those available for the Mac and Windows. Of course you don't
- really need a screen saver as such for your Psion / 'fox / Ericsson /
- Osaris - why would its screen need saving? With this in mind, I
- thought it should at least do something useful - like display a large
- clock perhaps...
-
- The idea was originally based on Dan Comiskey's 'Clock' program for
- the 3a/c. There are quite a number of enhancements planned for future
- releases so visit Pscience5 at:- http://www.pscience5.net
- ocassionally to check for updates and more details.
-
- Installation
- ============
- Installation is via the now standard .sis file method.
- There are 6 files:-
- Clock5.sis (Clock5's installation file)
- Alarm.sis (Symbian's OPX file)
- SysRAM1.sis (Symbian's OPX file)
- Systinfo.sis (Symbian's OPX file)
- ReadMe.txt (this file)
- Changes.txt (changes in the last few releases)
-
- Clock5.sis, Alarm.sis, SysRAM1.sis, and Systinfo.sis can be installed on
- your machine either by using Psion's EPOC install program (as supplied with
- PsiWin 2.1/2.2/2.3) or by using the Add/Remove icon in your Psion's control
- panel if you've got (say) Email already installed on your machine. If the
- latter, just copy the .sis files onto your Psion and either find them using
- the Add/Remove icon in your machine's control panel or just double-click on
- them to auto-run the install routine.
-
- During the installation of Clock5, you will be given the option of installing
- voice files. These enable Clock5 to be used a speaking clock when in its
- 'Sweet Dreams' mode. (NB: 1) The machines Owner Information screen must
- be switched off for this feature to work, 2) Not Osaris). The files are quite
- large however (~100Kb) so there's an option not to install them. Clock5 will
- work without them minus this particular feature.
-
- The Clock5 icon should now have appeared in your Extras bar ready to run.
-
- If you want to add your own user-defined logos to the standard ones built-in
- to Clock5, just create an additional directory called 'Logos' in the new
- System\Apps\Clock5\ directory (on whichever drive you specified during
- installation) and add .mbm files into it. They'll be found automatically by
- Clock5. There are some sample logos available on the Pscience5 web site.
-
- "Incompatible opx version" during installation
- ==============================================
- If you should get this error when you're installing Symbian's OPX files, then
- one of two possible things could be the problem:-
-
- 1) You've got an older version of Systinfo.opx or Sysram1.opx on your Psion
- causing conflict with the new one. Symbian released new versions of these opx
- files for ER5/5mx compatibility. The new files will work fine on the Geofox/S5
- - but all of the machines appear to get confused if there's a copy of the old
- opx files on the machine somewhere as well as the new one(s).
-
- Hence I'd recommend checking for old versions of sysram1.opx and Systinfo.opx
- either in c:/system/opx/ or d:/system/opx/ before installing Clock5. By the
- way, old apps. will work fine with this newer version of these opx files.
-
- 2) That you've got a program already running that's using Sysram1.opx or
- Systinfo.opx when you try to install Clock5 (e.g. Macro5). Close down running
- programs before the installation.
