General Notes:
Version 1.0 just released! OS 5 COMPATIBLE! It has been tested on Visor Prism and POSE (Palm OS Emulator) both running Palm OS v 3.5 and runs w/o any noticeable bugs as of yet. The author makes no guarantee that this application will be backward compatible beyond v3.5 Palm OS however, obviously this application should be just fine with later/new versions of Palm OS.
Installation Notes:
To install PhoneBook+, one should simply only need to extract the archive of choice to an empty folder. Once extracted, you will notice 3 files with extension .txt (Readme.txt, License.txt and Register.txt) these are the applications documentations and should be read over at least once. With this release, we've also include instructions for usage in PDF format as well as MS Word DOC format. Acrobat Reader is available for free from their website, if you don't already have it installed on your PC. The SINGLE Palm file in this folder will be that installer. Double click this file to install on your next HotSycn(tm), or install using a different technique you are most familiar with. Once on the device, merely tap the Installer Icon to complete the installation/extraction of the application files onto the device. This installer will delete itself once installation is complete. If during the installation, it should happen to stop and alert you that other files ALREADY exist on the device and ask you what to do...here is what we RECOMMEND you do to ensure functionality of this app. If given a version number...ALWAYS overwrite the existing file with that in this installer if the existing files version number is EQUAL to or LESS than the one in this installation. Obviously, if this installer attempts to installer a file with a version number less than an existing file you should NOT allow it, but should tap CANCEL for this file. If no version # is given, then generally you will want to overwrite here as well.

* Mac Users...simply extract the .sit file to an empty temporary directory and follow the same instructions as above!

** It will be WELL worth your time to read over one of the included Manual files before you begin your evaluation of PhoneBook+. PhoneBook+ is very easy to use and very intuitive in design, however the 2 available MODES of operation require some explanation so you can decide AHEAD of time which mode is best for you. Most everyday users with normal personal contacts will prefer the Personal Contacts Mode. The default mode is Business however, so you may want to change this setting right away. Business mode is intended for the business person with MANY contacts within MANY businesses. This mode stores the contact by business name versus that of the persons last name to facilitate RAPID contact information retrieval.
