- AUTHOR, LICENSE, ETC.
-
- ScreenWrite was created by Inkverse in May of 1998. All rights
- reserved.
-
- ScreenWrite is shareware. If you use ScreenWrite and enjoy it, your honor
- requires that you pay a modest registration fee of $5. You can buy
- ScreenWrite online from PilotGear at:
-
- http://www2.viaweb.com/pilotgearsw/jeremyradlow.html
-
- Or you can just send the $5 to me at:
-
- Jeremy Radlow
- P.O. Box 5
- Orono, ME 04473
-
- Include your email address and HotSync name so I can send you a registration
- number. Thanks!
-
- REQUIREMENTS
-
- ScreenWrite works on the Pilot 1000 and up.
-
- You must also install HackMaster (0.9 or later) to run ScreenWrite, as
- ScreenWrite is a Hack.
-
-
- INSTALLING SCREENWRITE
-
- [ If you already have installed ScreenWrite, you must disable it in the ]
- [ HackMaster control panel before upgrading. Otherwise, your PalmPilot ]
- [ will crash. That's just the way it is with Hacks. ]
-
- ScreenWrite is bundled with HackMaster, for your convenience. If you
- don't already have HackMaster, you must install hackmstr.prc in the
- usual way. Also install scrnwrit.prc.
-
- Note that HackMaster is a shareware product from DaggerWare. See the
- HackMaster information screen for details on registering.
-
- Once you've installed HackMaster and ScreenWrite, you must open HackMaster,
- and check the box next to ScreenWrite. ScreenWrite is now enabled.
-
- USING SCREENWRITE
-
- Just write on the screen; you'll see ink appear. When you lift your pen,
- the ink blot will be interpreted as Graffiti. To write numbers, write
- your Graffiti on the right hand side of the screen.
-
- If you need to perform operations on a specific area of the screen, such
- as selecting text or drawing, just hold the pen still for a fraction of
- a second. The ink blot will be cancelled, and you can proceed with drawing
- your line as if ScreenWrite weren't installed.
-
- You can adjust the ink blot cancellation delay in the ScreenWrite control
- panel, reachable from the HackMaster control panel (just press the "+"
- next to ScreenWrite).
-
-
- CONFIGURATION
-
- Configuration options include:
-
- * Ink cancellation delay;
- * Pen thickness (from invisible to 2 pixels wide);
- * Graffiti shortcut for enabling/disabling ScreenWrite
- (handy for paint applications);
- * Autocapitalization of letters written in the middle of the screen
- (similar to Jot);
- * Autocapitalization of large (> 50% screen height) letters;
- * Enabling sounds or visual cues when ScreenWrite is toggled;
- * Enabling/disabling the ScreenWrite application "memory".
- * A workaround for SelectHack. The workaround may be more trouble
- than it's worth, unless you really love SelectHack.
-
- To configure ScreenWrite, bring up the HackMaster application and click
- on the "+" button next to ScreenWrite. Click on the Options button
- for additional options.
-
-
- BUGS
-
- Probably the first question that most people ask is, "How does ScreenWrite
- work with applications like painting utilities?" The answer is, it doesn't
- work very well by default - you must hold your pen down for a fraction of a
- second even if it's obvious to you that ScreenWrite should be smart enough to
- let you begin scrawling immediately. However, you can disable ScreenWrite
- in an application with a single stroke of the pen (configurable), and
- ScreenWrite will remember that you don't want its Graffiti recognition to
- be enabled for that application in the future.
