-
- Description
-
- Thank you for trying "TealMagnify!". This is a simple application
- that provides ever-ready magnifying glass that allows you to enlarge
- any part of the display from within almost any program.
-
- "TealMagnify!" hooks itself into the "Find" silkscreened button to
- the right of the graffiti area. Fortuitiously, this button already
- has a magnifying glass image. "TealMagnify!" is immediately activated
- when the button is pressed, and you can either double-tap the find
- button or use the provided onscreen "Find" button if you just want
- to do a normal find operation.

- Installing
-
- This archive contains the files:
-
- * TEALLENS.DOC
- This doc in text format
-
- * TEALLENS.HTM
- This doc in HTML format
-

- TealMagnify! uses the "HackMaster" System Extensions Manager by Edward
- Keyes (*See references below). This is a safe and standard way to
- add and manage extended system functionality on the Pilot.
-
- Use the Pilot installer to install the program file "TEALLENS.PRC"
- and "HACKMSTR.PRC". "TealMagnify!" will not appear as a standard program
- of it's own, but instead is activated through "HackMaster". To turn
- on "TealMagnify!", simply click on the "HackMaster" icon in the applications
- launcher, and click on the checkmark next to the "TealMagnify!" entry
- in the "Hacks" list.

-
- Registering
-
- Currently, you may register by snail mail, electronically through
- our website with a credit card via secured server, or through PalmPilotGear
- HQ at 1-800-741-9070. For the first option, the enclosed registration
- form is provided for your convenience. You may use this form or simply
- send the following to the address above.
- * Product Name (Please!)
- * E-Mail Address
- * HotSync User ID ( Pilot Name Required for Passkey generation, it
- can be found on the main screen of the HotSync application on the
- Pilot as "Welcome ________." or in the corner on a PalmIII )
- * Check or Money Order for ($11.95 US) to TealPoint Software
-
- When you register, you will be sent an email containing a registration
- code you can enter into TealPaint to turn off the "Please Register"
- messages.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Using the Program
-
- Simply click on your pilot's silkscreened "Find" button. Initially,
- in the lower half of the screen the magnifying window will appear,
- while the region being magnified is highlighted by a grey box in the
- upper half of the display. To change the area being magnified, simply
- click on the region to see or "click and drag" the highlight region
- around the display. When you move the highlighted region to the lower
- half of the display, the magnify window automatically snaps out of
- the way to the top of the display. To read a column of data (such
- as telephone numbers) use the Pilot up and down scroll buttons to
- move the magnifying window vertically.
-
- When done, simply click "Okay" to return to normal operation or click
- "Find" to initiate a normal find operation. Alternately, you may also
- click the silkscreened "Find" button a second time.
-

-
- Compatibility
-
- As we cannot control the style and robustness of other products, we
- cannot guarantee compatibility with PalmPilot applications beyond
- those included from Palm Computing. However, we try to resolve compatibility
- issues as best we can, working with other developers where possible.
-
- "TealMagnify", like all "Hackmaster" applications, hook into the PalmPilot
- operating system in a way which may not be compatible with all other
- programs of this type, as all such programs must share limited system
- resources. If you experience unexpected behavior or crashes, always
- try disabling all other hacks first to diagnose whether what you experience
- is the result of a conflict or lack of system resources.
-
- * "Backdrop EZ Hack"
- Compatibility to Backdrop EZ Hack has been added in TealMagnify
- 2.03
-
- * "FindHack"
- FindHack patches into the system find call, just like TealMagnify,
- but provides no way to chain to the next program on the list,
- as it was meant to fully replace the standard find command,
- not just augment it. You can still activate TealMagnify, however,
- but swapping the order in which the two programs appear in Hackmaster's
- extension list. Uncheck and recheck an item to bring it to the
- top of the extensions list.
