Installation Procedure


These instructions will show you how to install your HandyCards software onto your PalmOS handheld.  Before you begin the installation, please ensure all programs are closed on both your desktop and handheld computers.  Also, ensure your handheld computer is turned on and is connected to your desktop computer.

After you have downloaded the HCPalm.zip compressed file to your Windows PC, place it in its own directory and decompress it with your favorite software, such as WinZip or 7Zip .  After you have extracted the contents of the HCPalm.zip file and opened the directory with Windows Explorer, you'll see something like the image shown below:




To install HandyCards, you must HotSync NSBSystemLib.prc and NSBVFSLib.prc and one of the two runtime files into main memory on your Palm. If you are using a device running PalmOS v4.x or older, install NSBRuntime.prc into main memory.  If you have a PalmOS v5.x or newer device use the NSBRuntimeARM68K.prc file.

HandyCards itself (HandyCards.prc) and the included sample data file, HCSamples5.pdb, can be placed in main memory or onto an expansion card. If you use a card reader to put files onto your expansion card instead of the HotSync process, be sure to put the files into "PALM | Launcher", otherwise you may run into erratic behavior.

Once you have HotSync'd and installed HandyCards, you will see the new HandyCards icon on your PalmOS handheld. This indicates the completion of the installation of HandyCards onto your Palm.  Please contact Open Window Software support should you encounter any installation issues. 

Be sure to look over the Palm Studying with HandyCards instructions prior to using HandyCards.
