- Welcome to psAddle - a numbers strategy game from _the_ quality software house that's
- 100% dedicated to freeware.
-
- What is psAddle?
- ================
- It's the game of Addle ported to the Psion (see the Acknowledgements section below).
- psAddle is a simple but addictive numbers strategy game played against the Psion.
- There are 3 difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, and Hard - and also a 2-Player mode for
- 2 people to play against each other.
-
-
- Game objectives
- ===============
- 1) Beat the Psion's Score by as much as possible
- 2) Improve upon your own Best Score for that level
- 3) Beat the Psion's Best Score and number of Wins
-
- Start by taking any 'highlighted' number from the grid (i.e. tap on one of the cells
- in the raised line on the grid). The Psion╣ then has to select from the column/row
- you've chosen. The game is over when either player cannot move or all the numbers
- have been used up.
-
- NB: ╣ - or the other player in 2-Player mode.
-
- See the psAddle help file (accessed from the game) for full details of how to play,
- scoring, etc.
-
-
- Acknowledgements
- ================
- psAddle was originally written for the Psion by John Peat (john@peatj.demon.co.uk)
- and he supported it up to v1.01b. Unfortunately - due to other committments - John
- was not able to continue to support or develop his programs as he would have liked.
- Consequently, FreEPOC have agreed to take over John's programs. And in the case of
- psAddle, that means me!
-
-
- Compatibility
- =============
- psAddle is compatible with the revo, mako, Psion Series 5, 5mx, Series 7, netBook,
- MC218, Osaris, and Geofox.

-
- Installation
- ============
- *********************************************************************************
- * Note: If you have John Peat's original version of psAddle installed, I would *
- * recommend removing it before installing this latest version. This because *
- * not all of the files in the original version are re-used and (since it wasn't *
- * originally distributed as a .sis installation) they will not be deleted by *
- * the new version. *
- *********************************************************************************
-
- psAddle.zip contains 4 files. ReadMe.txt (i.e. this file!), psAddle.sis,
- Systinfo.sis, and Sysram1.sis. psAddle.sis, Systinfo.sis, and Sysram1.sis install
- using the standard EPOC installer (either from your PC or on the Psion itself -
- see Psion's own web site for details). NB: These are the latest (ER5) versions of
- Systinfo.sis and Sysram1.sis and must be installed for VoiceMan5 to work - make
- sure that you don't have any old (ER3) versions on your machine.
-
-
- "Incompatible opx version" during installation
- ==============================================
- If you should get this error when you're installing Systinfo.sis or Sysram1.sis
- (which contain their respective opx files) then one of two possible things could
- be the problem:-
-
- 1) You've got an older version of Systinfo.opx or Sysram1.sis on your machine
- causing conflict with a newer one. Symbian released new versions of the
- Systinfo.opx and Sysram1.opx files for ER5/5mx compatibility. The new files will
- work fine on the S5 and Geofox as well as the newer machines - but all machines
- appear to get confused if there's a copy of the old Systinfo.opx or Sysram1.opx
- files on the machine somewhere as well as the new one(s).
-
- Hence I'd recommend checking for old versions of these files either in
- c:/system/opx/ or d:/system/opx/ before installing the new versions. BTW, old
- apps. will work fine with these newer versions.
-
- 2) That you've got a program already running that's using these opx's when you try
- to install them (e.g. Macro5). Close down all running programs before the
- installation.

- sort of warranty with it. Nor will I accept responsibility for any data lost or
- damage caused as a result of using psAddle... I.e. use at your own risk!
