-
- IMPORTANT: When you install LauncherIII 1.5.2, you'll loose all your tab
- settings. That's because LIII database format changed and the new version
- cannot use the old format (nor it can convert the old format to the new one)
-
- IMPORTANT: If you are already using LauncherIII 1.42 or older, please uncheck
- "Always use LauncherIII" preferences option, before installing this version!
-
- IMPORTANT: BE SURE THAT YOU REMEMBER THE PASSWORD BEFORE USING THE 'Lock' GADGET!
-
- IMPORTANT (for OS 3.x users): If you delete LauncherIII 1.5.x without deactivating
- it first, you will not have access to the default Palm application launcher
- (you'll get the old OS 1.x and 2.x launcher). To correct that, install
- Launcher III 1.5.x again, go to its prefernces, check and then uncheck
- "Always use LauncherIII" checkbox. After that, you can freely delete
- LauncherIII"
-
- -----------
- Launcher III is a modification of famous Eric Kenslow's LaunchPad. This
- version is compatible with all devices with Palm OS 2.x or newer
- (PalmPilot Personal/Pro, PalmIII, PalmIIIx, PalmV, PalmVx, PalmVII and Visor).

- Synergy's Launch 'Em is the 'official' sequel to LaunchPad. In addition to
- Palm III support, it also adds a drag-n-drop trash can, beaming capabilities,
