Welcome to FitalyStamp


Contents:


Read this - at least these four lines!


Two points to read, even if in a hurry: (1) The registered version of FitalyStamp has a second component called FS Status, which must be run at least once. If you don't, it will appear as a demo. (2) There are important precautions to take when installing an upgrade. More below...


FitalyStamp version 2.05 - The package


The package includes four FitalyStamp overlays which you will find safely wrapped in the User's Manual. The overlays come in different sizes that correspond to the supported forms:

  • Palm V form
    for the Palm V, Vx, m500 and m505.
  • Palm III form
    for the Palm III and VII, the Handspring Visor, and the TRGpro.
  • m100 form
    for the Palm m100 and m105.
  • Sony Clié form
    for the Sony Clié 710C and 610C.

Your package should contain four overlays of the form you ordered, that is, either of the Palm III, Palm V, m100, or Sony Clié form. In addition, it should contain an installation diskette for the software.


FitalyStamp Installation - Registered Version


To Install FitalyStamp, run the installer program FitalyStamp.exe which is on the installation diskette. The installation will install certain files on your desktop. It will also prepare two files to be installed on your Palm organizer the next time you perform a Hotsync.

The first file is FSStatus.prc, which you will run once on your Palm organizer to activate your registration. The second file is either:

  • FitalyStampApp.prc
    a stand-alone application
  • FitalyStampHack.prc
    a system extension managed by HackMaster.

The installer will ask you to select either the "App" or the "Hack" form. If you are already using HackMaster to manage system extensions, you should install FitalyStampHack. Similarly, install the Hack form if you are using some HackMaster-compatible extension manager such as X-Master. Otherwise, install the stand-alone application FitalyStampApp.

See the User's Manual for the installation of the FitalyStamp overlays. If you plan to use half-cells, see also Additional Installation Notes.

FitalyLetris

The installation of FitalyStamp adds FitalyLetris to the FitalyStamp folder. FitalyLetris is both a word game and a training tool for fast text-entry with Fitaly or FitalyStamp.

FitalyLetris lets you practice the 400 most frequent English words as they are falling like the pieces of a tetris game. It helps FitalyStamp users develop a visual memory of these most common words on the Fitaly keyboard layout.

To install FitalyLetris, you need to install the files FitalyLetris.prc and FitalyLetrisDP.PDB, using the Palm Install tool.

Macintosh and Linux users:

The installer program FitalyStamp.exe runs only under Windows.

For MacIntosh and Linux users, the file FSStatus.prc is sent by email. Once you receive it, install it and tap on it once to activate your registration. The other component - either FitalyStampApp.prc or FitalyStampHack.prc (but never both) - can be found in the diskette or by downloading it from the Fitaly web site.


FitalyStamp Installation - Demo Version


The demo version of FitalyStamp includes the following prc files:

  • FitalyStampApp.prc
    a stand-alone application
  • FitalyStampHack.prc
    a system extension managed by HackMaster.

If you are using HackMaster to manage system extensions, you should install FitalyStampHack. Similarly, install the Hack form if you are using some HackMaster-compatible extension manager such as X-Master. Otherwise, install the stand-alone application FitalyStampApp.

See also the additional installation notes for information on printing the FitalyStamp labels for the demo version.


Notes on Upgrading


If you are installing this version over a previous version of FitalyStamp, you must first uninstall the prior version. (See the next section or the User's Manual.)

Note that for upgrading, you are going to delete FitalyStamp but not the companion program FS Status, which handles registration information. So when you install the new FitalyStamp software, it will find out from FS Status that it is already registered.


Un-Installing FitalyStamp


To uninstall FitalyStamp, perform the following two steps:

  • Disable FitalyStamp
    from the FitalyStamp application icon or from HackMaster. This first step is essential since going to the second step (deleting) without first disabling can leave the Palm organizer in an unstable state.

    If you are in doubt, another way of making sure that FitalyStamp is disabled is to do a soft reset (the simple reset that is performed with a paper-clip or with a pen on the back of the Palm organizer).

  • Delete FitalyStamp
    in the same way as you delete any other Palm application. (See the section "Installing and Removing applications" in the Handbook for the Palm Organizer.)


Advanced Features


FitalyStamp offers a number of Advanced features beyond what is described in the User's Manual. Others are likely to be added in response to requests and comments from users.


License Information


The use of FitalyStamp is subject to a License Agreement which applies to registered versions as well as to demo versions of the software.
