- This is a tiny hack which stops your Palm V turning on if the hardware
- "up" is pressed at the time. The effective logic goes something along
- the lines of: when the PalmPilot wakes up, if the hardware up button
- is down, and an alarm is not being sounded, then go back to sleep
- again.
-
- To install Stay Off If Up Hack, hotsync it onto your Palm V first.
- Then open Hackmaster, and tick the box next to "Stay Off If Up Hack".
- The question mark on this screen will give you more information about
- my hack.
-
- I coded this hack together after I noticed that the Palm V would
- always accidentally turn on after being in my pocket or the slim
- leather case. What happens is that one of the hardware buttons is
- pressed and the Palm V turns on. But since the up button protrudes
- the most, it will be pressed down in all these cases. This hack
- effectively stops the Palm V turning on at all if the up button is
- held down. Unlike other hacks, it still allows the use of the
- hardware buttons as per normal.

- The source and makefile for gcc are included.
