- SysBack for EPOC v2.10F (Build 0707)
- ====================================
- EPOC Install (SIS) release
-
- This program is FREEWARE (i.e. no charge is made for its usage), but
- the author (Phil Spencer of Aylesbury, England) still retains all
- copyright on the code.
-
- THINGS TO NOTE - PLEASE READ!
- =============================
- Before you install and run SysBack, there are a couple of points
- you should be aware of:
-
- 1. To work effectively, SysBack assumes it is always started from the
- state just after a Shell reset. If you run SysBack when the System
- has NOT been reset, then nothing majorly bad will happen, but some
- of the view settings will not end up as desired.
-
- 2. SysBack works by sending certain keypresses to the System shell.
- Sadly, although this is a workable solution, it is quite a crude
- way of doing things. It is, however, the best I can do from OPL.
-
- The only caveat here is that this may give rise to certain problems
- with foreign machines, as keypresses may differ from that of an
- English machine (on which SysBack was written and tested).
- If SysBack works OK on your non-UK English machine, please send
- me an e-mail (see end of this text) to let me know, and I can add it
- to the list below.
-
- If doesn't work 100% OK on your machine, then please try and take
- a few minutes to e-mail me with some simple details. All I need to
- know are the keypresses in the System Shell which carry out the
- following actions:
-
- a) Zoom in
- b) Zoom out
- c) Set usage gauge on/off
- d) Turn toolbar on/off
- e) Increase column width
- f) Decrease column width
- g) Shows the "Remote link" dialog (where you set the baud rate, etc.)
- h) Shows the Control Panel (NOT the toolbar button, but the keypress
- which can be found under the "Tools" menu)
- i) Shows the dialog to set the Home city, when you're in the
- "Time & date" section of the Control Panel.
-
- If you can send me those, I will be able to alter SysBack and release
- an update which will work exactly as intended on all machines of that
- language.
-
- If you are interested in translating SysBack to work in the language of
- your machine, then please also get in touch. Several non-English languages
- are already available.
-
- The SIS file will install the language set as the default on your
- EPOC machine. To change this, you must alter the Preferences from the
- Add/remove icon in Control Panel.
