- Installation
- ------------
- If you unzipped Piano OK, you should have ended up with
- 5 separate files. One will be this text file 8-)
-
- The other four are SIS files.
-
- (Experts)
- If you know what a .SIS file is, just double-click on each one in Win95 Explorer
- or tap on it on the Series 5 and you'll be installed in no time.
- Note that if you've already installed any of the .sis upgrades, you don't need
- to do so again. The "piano.sis" is the program itself and *must* be installed.
-
- (Beginners)
- If you *don't* know what a .SIS file is, this must be one of the very first
- third party applications you've ever installed. Don't worry, it's all quite
- painless:
-
- IF you have the 'older' PsiWin 2.01 or if you've downloaded Piano directly
- onto the Psion 5, the best way to proceed is to copy the "piano.sis" file into a
- suitable place on your Psion. If the file appears on the system screen
- with a question mark beside it, this just means you haven't yet upgraded your
- Series 5 to accept EPOC install files. Grab a copy of the special INSTEXE.EXE
- program from the same place as you obtained Piano and tap on it on your Psion.
- You should now see a nice little icon beside the "piano.sis" file and can tap
- on it to complete your installation. *Repeat* the process for "music.sis" and the
- other SIS files, if you haven't already done so, as these extra files contain
- the magic ingredients needed to make Piano work.
-
- IF you have PsiWin 2.1, just double-click on the "piano.sis" file to launch
- EPOC Install on the PC itself and to complete the installation of Piano. If you
- haven't yet upgraded your Series 5 with the special OPXs, you'll need to
- double-click on "music.sis" and the other SIS upgrades as well.
-
- If all went well, you should now have a new "Piano" icon on your
- Extras bar.

-
- Expert troubleshooting
- ----------------------
- [For the technically minded, after installation all Piano program files should exist
- in \system\apps\piano, apart from the systinfo.opx, sysram1.opx, leds1.opx and music.opx
- OPL/32 extensions, which should each live in \system\opx ]
