Welcome --------------- Welcome to InstallPALm (c) 1998, ufp (pronounced with a silent "m"). This software is Beta and as such has not undergone extensive testing. I would very much appreciate any reports of problems. InstallPALm --------------- InstallPALm is an install program specially designed for installing PalmPilot applications and Conduits. InstallPALm is driven by a simple script file which can be edited with any text editor. The program is fully 32 bit and multithreaded for speed and efficiency. InstallPALm installs can be zipped up and placed on the World Wide Web. The zipped up files can be made self executable using Winzip for an install, that from a user perspective, is absolutely seamless. InstallPALm can also prepare .PRC files for installation during the user's next HotSync. Report problems to Installation --------------- This software will only run on Windows 95-98 or Windows NT. There is currently no support for 16 bit Windows (3.1 or WFW) or Macintosh. InstallPALm consists of three files plus any files required for installation of your application. The SETUP.INI which is created using any text editor is the file that drives the installation. See the documentation and the sample SETUP.INI for information on creating and using InstallPALm. Registration --------------- InstallPALm is copyrighted shareware with a slightly different registration policy. If your PalmPilot application is Freeware or Shareware with a price of $0.00 then your price for registration is US $0.00. If you subsequently raise the price to anything but US $0.00 you must re-register at the new price. The registration price for the software for a Shareware application is the Shareware registration price for the application. So if you are distributing your application for a Shareware price of US $15 then the registration of InstallPALm is US $15. If you later raise the price you must re-register the software for the new price. If you lower the price you do not have to re-register. For commercial licensing please contact installpalm@ufp.com If you would like use InstallPALm to install your freeware or shareware, you must register the software. Registration allows unlimited distribution for one and only one application (not limited by versions). Warranty --------------- The program is copyrighted shareware. Unmodified distribution is allowed, but it may not be modified and then distributed, and no more then a nominal copying fee can be charged for distribution. Please retain this document with the program. No warranty is provided for this program, expressed or implied. You use it strictly at your own risk. I do not expect this program to damage your Pilot or the information stored on it, but I cannot guarantee that it will not. If you experience any trouble, please contact me.
