- Installation instructions:
-
- CTIMER5.ZIP is an archive file containing two files:
-
- CTIMER.SIS - the Psion installation file
- RDMETM5.TXT - these instructions.
-
- Use WinZip and PsiWin (or whatever other means you normally use) to extract
- the files an run the Exchange.sis file to install onto your Psion.
-
- Operation of the program should be self evident; if in doubt refer to
- the help file. The program has only been extensively tested on an 8Mb Psion 5
- - there are almost certainly undiscovered bugs and problems - if you
- are first to find and report one I'll try and fix it and get a new version
- to you.
-
- No warranty is given or implied - you should always back up your data
- regularly, use of the program is entirely at your own risk.
-
- (I use it regularly on my Psion without problems).
