- INTRODUCTION
- ============
-
- CompressDB is a small OPO program which allows you to manually compress your
- database, agenda & help files to reduce file sizes and recover lost disk space.
-
- EPOC was designed to compress these files automatically, but it waits until
- there is a huge amount of recoverable space before it actually does this.
- This can be extremely inconvenient if you need to compress your files to
- recover disk space, or if you a releasing a program to the public and want to
- compress your files to make them as small as possible.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
- ============
-
- This program should be fully compatible with all EPOC machines, including
- Psion S5/5mx, Revo, S7, Oregon Scientific Osaris, etc.
-
- To install it, copy the file COMPRESSDB.OPO into any suitable folder on
- your Psion. The program does not appear on your Extras bar - to run it,
- select its icon from the folder where it is installed.
-
- CompressDB uses the following additional modules, which are supplied with
- the program as SIS files:
-
- SYSRAM1.SIS (Sysram1.opx V1.0, by Symbian Ltd)
-
- If you haven't installed these on your system yet, or if you are using
- earlier versions of these modules, then you will need to install them
- before you can use CompressDB.
