NeoCal User Guide

Palm OS Installation

Since there are many files distributed with NeoCal, they have been packaged into a single, compressed file. These must first be decompressed onto the hard drive of your desktop computer.

If you downloaded an .EXE file, double-click it in the File Manager or Windows Explorer window. This will open a window prompting you to decompress the files into the c:\neocal directory. Click the unzip button, and when it's finished, click the close button.

If you downloaded a .ZIP file, you'll need to decompress these files using your unzip utility. Make sure you decompress these files keeping the directory structure intact.

You will use the Install Tool application included with the Palm Desktop software to transfer the NeoCal program onto your handheld:

  1. Start the Install Tool program.
  2. In the User drop down list, select the user name that corresponds to your handheld.
  3. Click the Add button.
  4. Navigate to the directory where you decompressed the NeoCal files (c:\neocal).
  5. Select the neocal.prc file, and then click the Open button.
  6. To install the math library, click the Add button, select the mathlib.prc file, and click the Open button.
  7. Click the Done button.
  8. Synchronize your handheld with the desktop to transfer the files onto your handheld.

If you are experiencing any problems with the installation, please check your handheld's manual for more information about installing third-party software.
