To run Triv, you need a PalmPilot running version 2.0 or later of the operating system (PalmPilot Personal, PalmPilot Professional, Palm III, Palm IIIx, Palm IIIe, Palm V, Palm VII, IBM WorkPad, or Visor). You also need a Macintosh, PC, or other computer from which to synchronize your PalmPilot.
As with all PalmPilot software, make sure that you have backed up all of your
data before installing Triv. Although Triv has been tested with a variety of
operating system versions and hacks, the author cannot be held responsible for
unexpected problems.
Installing Triv
---------- ----
To run Triv, you need to load the Triv application itself and at least one of Triv's data modules onto your PalmPilot. (Note to users of older versions of Triv: Remove any version 1.x data modules before installing Triv 2.x and new data modules. The safest thing to do is to remove Triv completely. Triv 2.x will not recognize older data modules.)
