- Psion Series 5 Message Suite (1.52)
- ====================================
- UK/US version (Build 055)
- October 1998
-
-
- VERY IMPORTANT. Message Suite is not compatible with the "EasyFax"
- software. If you have a version of EasyFax installed on your Series 5
- you must remove this BEFORE installing the Message Suite.
-
- See "What to do if you have EasyFax installed" for instructions.
-
- The Message Suite installation will also add new items to the Series 5
- Control Panel (Internet, Modems). You must change settings in the
- Control Panel and the Email program before you can use the Message Suite
- programs. See the Message Suite User guide for more details.
-
-
- If you have a previous version of Message Suite...
- ==================================================
- It is best to install the new release without uninstalling the previous
- version so that your settings (e.g. email messages, setup and service
- provider information) are preserved. These settings will be removed if
- you remove your existing version before upgrading.
-
- Note that it is recommended that you back up your Series 5 before
- installing additional software or making changes to important settings.
-
-
- Installing Message Suite using a Win 95/NT PC
- =============================================
- You must have PsiWin v2.X installed on your PC.
-
- Message Suite, PsiWin 2.1 (and above), and other Psion programs now
- include "EPOC Install" which you can use from your PC to install
- programs to your Series 5.
-
- To check if you already have EPOC Install, right click on the "My Psion"
- icon on the desktop and note if the "Install New Program" option exists.
- If it does not, you should first run SETUP.EXE to install the "EPOC
- install" program.
-
- You can now use the "Install New Program" option or double-click on a
- .SIS file in Windows Explorer to install Message Suite, the service
- provider templates or other programs on your Series 5.
-
- The first time you install a program or file using EPOC install,
- an Add/remove icon is added to the Series 5 Control panel.
-
- See the Message Suite user guide for more details.
-
-
- Installing Message Suite using other computers
- ==============================================
-
- You must have software installed on your computer to copy files to your
- Series 5, and a suitable cable to connect your computer to the Series 5.
-
- - If you have a Windows 3.xx PC, you can use PsiWin 1.xx.
-
- - If you have a Macintosh computer, you can use PsiMac or Psion MacConnect.
-
- If you have not installed software to your Series 5 before
- ----------------------------------------------------------
- To install the Add/remove icon to your Series 5's Control panel:
-
- 1. Connect the Series 5 and copy the file instexe.exe to the Series 5.
- It is best to copy the file to the "\" (root) folder. Then, locate the
- file in the System screen, select it and press Enter to run the file.
-
- 2. After a few moments, the file will disappear from view.
-
- MacConnect users only:
- ----------------------
- You can install the Message Suite from the .SIS file using MacConnect's
- install feature.
-
- Select PsiTools from the Psion menu, press the Install button, and
- navigate to the folder in which you have saved Msgsuite.sis. Select this
- file and click Open. Follow the on screen instructions to install the
- Message Suite programs on your Series 5.
-
- All other users:
- ----------------
- 1. Transfer the Msgsuite.sis file to your Series 5. If the file is on your PC,
- you should do this using PsiWin 2.x
-
- 2. Select the Msgsuite.sis file in the System screen then tap on it
- again. The installation process will begin. Follow the instructions on
- screen, making sure that you use the same disk for each Message Suite
- component.
-
- Note: the Msgsuite.sis file will be deleted once the Message Suite has
- been installed. To prevent this, open the 'Add/Remove' section of the
- Control panel on your Series 5 and tap on 'Prefs', then remove the tick
- from the 'Delete .SIS installation file?' box. Note that removing the
- tick from this option means that you will need approximately double the
- normal recommended amount of disk space free in order to keep both the
- installed version of the software and the installation file on your
- machine.
-
-
- Using the Remote Link
- =====================
- You will need to use the Remote link on your Series 5 in order to
- install programs using EPOC Install. Make sure the link is set to
- 'Cable', and that the Series 5 is connected to your PC.
-
- The Message Suite programs require the Remote link to be 'Off'. If the
- link is in use (e.g. set to 'Cable'), the link will be automatically set
- to 'Off' when you connect to the Internet.
-
- Make sure that you switch the link on again when you need to connect to
- your PC.
-
-
- What to do if you have EasyFax installed
- ========================================
-
- If you have previously installed EasyFax then you should remove the
- following files in order to ensure correct behaviour when sending and
- receiving faxes:
-
- \SYSTEM\APPS\EASYFAX\EASYFAX.AIF
- \SYSTEM\APPS\EASYFAX\EASYFAX.APP
- \SYSTEM\APPS\EASYFAX\EASYFAX.MBM
- \SYSTEM\APPS\EASYFAX\EASYFAX.R01
- \SYSTEM\APPS\EASYFAX\EASYFAX.R10
- \SYSTEM\APPS\EASYFAX\EASYFAX.HLP
- \SYSTEM\LIBS\FAXSTR.DLL
- \SYSTEM\LIBS\FAXTRANS.DLL
- \SYSTEM\LIBS\FAXVIEW.DLL
- \SYSTEM\PRINTERS\FAXPRINT.PDL
- \SYSTEM\PRINTERS\FAXPRINT.PDR
- \SYSTEM\PRINTERS\FAXPRINT.UDL
-
- Also, to free disk space, remove all old fax files. These will generally
- be in the folder "\Fax\" but could be stored elsewhere. They will always
- have the form "name.fax".
-
- Note, deleted faxes will be lost, so remember to print out any faxes
- which you would like to keep a copy of.
-
-
