-
- 1. Requirements
- =================================================
- Jack runs on PalmOS 3.0 and higher. Jack has been tested on a Palm 3 running
- PalmOS 3.0 and a Palm V running PalmOS 3.1.1
-
-
-
- 2. Installing Jack
- =================================================
- Unzip Jack using your favourite zip tool and install the .prc file onto your
- Palm Pilot. To do this use the Palm Install Tool - look in the Palm Desktop
- folder.
-
- Install the appropriate PRC file using your Palm Install Tool that you
- can find near your Palm Desktop.
-
-
-
- 3. What are alarm 'Attempts'?
- =================================================
- On the second page of the alarm setting wizard (the 'Setting the Alarm #2'
- page) you'll see an option marked 'How Many Attempts?'.
-
- Unlike DateBook, Jack will try several times to alert you when its alarm goes
- off. Jack will ring the alarm twenty times. If it hasn't been ackowledged
- by the end then it books another attempt in five minutes' time. After trying
- a certain number of these attempts Jack will give up. You can specify the
- number of attempts Jack should make before giving up.
-
-
-
- 4. Gradual Alarm
- =================================================
- There is a new option as of 1.2f, a Gradual Alarm. This starts a bit more
- quietly than the regular alarm, ringing less often and beeping less often on
- each ring. If you don't switch it off then on the next attempt the alarm is a
- bit more intrusive, and after that it goes back to normal.
-
-
-
-
- 5. Change History
- ==================================================
-
- 1.2i Feature:When setting the alarm time, you can now use the up and
- down keys as well as dragging the alarm bell.
-
- 1.2h Feature:Alarms can now be configured to only repeat on weekdays.
-
- Feature:The alarm can now be snoozed/cancelled with the hard down/up
- keys respectively.
-
- BugFix: When pilot is reset, alarms are lost. This version now resets
- the alarm to the right time.
-
- BugFix: If the user changed the alarm, but _didn't_ click 'done', the
- new settings were lost. This isn't the way Palm apps normally
- work. Now the settings are applied as soon as the user changes
- them.
-
-
-
-
- 1.2g BugFix: When the alarm was in non-repeating mode. After the alarm had
- fired and been acknowledged, the alarm icon on the Jack screen
- didn't change to show the alarm was no longer set.
