TECHNICAL INFORMATION

 

Obtaining Trial Software

If you'd like to try a Mobli product before purchasing it, you can download a free trial copy. The trial versions of Mobli software either have limitations that the full versions do not have, or they are timed to expire after a certain period. Downloading trial versions of Mobli software is a great way to discover if one of our products is right for you, but to fully enjoy all the functionality of the product, you should download a full version.

To download a trial version of a Mobli product, click the "Try" button in the product description.

Downloading Mobli Software

All Mobli products are downloadable from our site. You will not be shipped your product via regular mail; instead, you will have to download it. When you purchase a product at Mobli, you will be e-mailed a link and a registration code. Follow the link to the download page and download the product. Enter the registration code the first time you run the program on your handheld device.

How to decompress Mobli software

Files downloaded from our site, like most files on the Internet, come in a compressed format with a Zip file extension. Compressed archives allow us to put numerous files (the program, documentation files, registration info, etc.) into one file and to compress them for a faster download. These files must be decompressed before they can be loaded on your handheld device. To do so, you must have a decompression utility. For Windows, suitable choices include WinZip, ZipMagic, and 123Zip. Once you have installed a decompression utility, decompress the file you downloaded from Mobli.com.

When you decompress files, make sure to keep track of where your software has been saved.

How to Install Mobli Software

 

What You Need

    Enough storage space on your handheld for the software that you are installing.

    A connection between the device and desktop computer.

Palm OS Users

We recommend that you place your files in the Pilot Add-On folder that is a subdirectory of your Pilot folder. In most configurations this will be located at c:\pilot\add-on. There may be a documentation file for the program you want to load also, be sure to read it first! Most programs only require that you load the files with .prc and .pdb extensions using the Install Tool that comes with your Palm OS device.

Once you have downloaded the software to your desktop computer and decompressed it, you need to schedule it for HotSync or Active Sync to your handheld device. The easiest way to accomplish this is by using the installation utility that came with your handheld. Use the following steps, according to the desktop platform you are using:

Install Tool, Palm Desktop 2.x or 3.x for Windows

    Start the tool

      If you are using PalmPilot Desktop 2.0 or earlier: Click Start, Programs, PalmPilot Desktop, PalmPilot Install Tool

      If you are using the PalmPilot 3.0 Desktop the Install Tool is located on the left side of the Desktop Screen

    Click the "Add..." or "Browse" button

    Browse to the directory you placed the decompressed .prc and/or .pdb file(s), highlight the file, and Click Open, then Click Install.

Installation utilities are quite simple to use and will allow you to select the .pdb and .prc files you wish to transfer to your Palm Pilot. The next time you put your Palm Pilot in its cradle and select "HotSync," your new software will automatically be installed. Check your Palm Pilot's application launcher to confirm that your new software has been added. If you cannot find the application on the launcher, check it is there using the built-in "memory app", and make sure you have any additional programs required to view or run the application, such as TealDoc, AportisDoc or J-File.

Pocket PC Users

  • Connect your device and desktop computer.
  • Double-click the *.exe file.

      If the file is an installer, the installation wizard will begin. Follow the directions on the screen. Once the software has been installed on your desktop computer, the installer will automatically transfer the software to your device.

      If the file is not an installer, you will see an error message stating that the program is valid but it is designed for a different type of computer. You will need to move this file to your device. If you cannot find any installation instructions for the program in the Read Me documentation, use ActiveSync to copy the program file to the Program Files folder on your device.

  • Start ActiveSync
  • In ActiveSync, click "Explore."
  • Browse to the file that you want to copy from your desktop computer to the handheld. (the browser will probably open the Mobile Device window for your device, so you will need to exit this and move to your desktop computer)
  • To copy the file to your device, right-click the file and click "Copy." Place the cursor in the desired folder for your handheld device, right-click, and click "Paste."

Once the software is on your device, the Setup program will put an icon in the Programs folder on your device, or in a sub-folder if chosen (like Games). Run the program by tapping its icon.

Symbian Users

Program files are supplied to us in many different formats by our vendors. This variation will affect how you will install the program after you've downloaded it to your computer.

Setup kits or installation kits are programs that will automatically install to your machine with the push of a button. All the files are grouped together and compressed into one file (usually called "setup.exe" or "install.exe") and when clicked, expand to put all the files in their correct place.

MAC USERS: *.exe files don't run on Macintosh computers, and these files should therefore be installed according to the explanation beneath.

SIS Files: These files can be clicked to start an automatic installation program (PsiWin or PsiMac).

NOTE: You may need to upgrade your PsiWin or PsiMac connectivity package to install certain types of files. To upgrade your software visit the Psion Computers Web site www.psion.com/downloads/psiwin2.html.

When you have installed PsiWin, a "My Psion" icon appears on your Windows desktop, alongside "My Computer."

If you have PsiWin 2.1 or above, just double-click on the file to launch EPOC Install on the PC itself and to complete the installation of the software. Or drag and drop the file between your desktop window and your Psion desktop available in PsiWin.

If the file you want to install is not .SIS or .EXE, then try using the "Install New Program" function in PsiWin.

If you have the older PsiWin 2.01 or if you've downloaded the software directly onto the Psion, the best way to proceed is to copy the file into a suitable place on your Psion. If the file appears on the system screen with a question mark beside it, this means you haven't yet upgraded your Psion to accept EPOC install files. You then need to install the INSTEXE.EXE program to your Psion and open it. You should now see a nice little icon beside the software and can tap on it to complete your installation. Repeat this process for the other files.

How to Uninstall Mobli Software

If you find that you no longer need a particular program (or if you are trying to conserve memory), removing software from your Handheld is quite simple.

NOTE: Before you delete a program, be sure you have a copy of the original program on CD, floppy disk, or your desktop PC for later use and reinstallation.

Palm OS Users

On the Palm III and newer models:

    From your applications launcher, tap the "Menu" icon

    Go to the "App" menu and choose "Delete"

    Locate the program or data you are trying to remove, select it and delete it.

    Confirm your request by tapping "Yes"

    To return to the application launcher, tap "Done" and confirm that the application you deleted no longer appears.

The application or data should now be deleted from your Palm Handheld memory.

Although you may have deleted the program from your handheld, it may have been archived in your desktop backup folder. If this is so, every time you HotSync, the program or data will be reinstalled on your handheld. You can permanently delete the file by following these steps:

For Palm Desktop for Windows:
Open your Windows Explorer on your PC.
Open the Palm(tm) Desktop software folder (probably named "Palm" or "Pilot").
Open your user account folder (look for your Palm HotSync(tm) name).
Open the "Backup" folder.
Locate the program that you are trying to remove and delete it from the directory.
The program should no longer be on your handheld next time you perform a HotSync operation.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
 

SideCalc Version 1.0

A mini calculator and a powerful Business & Finance calculator
for most Epoc machines:
- Psion Series 5 and 5mx, revo, revo plus, Series 7, NetBook
- Ericsson MC218
- Diamond Mako
- GeoFOX One.
 
SideCalc is a mimic of the Calc standard application of Psion
Series 5. The difference is that it takes only a fraction of
the screen surface...

With its "BusFin" screens, SideCalc is also an original and
powerful Business and Finance calculator. Press Ctrl+P...

See Changes.txt for changes from older versions.


Installation:
To install SideCalc, double-click on the file SideCalc.SIS
on your PC (if PsiWin 2.x or later is installed). Or double-click
SideCalc.SIS on your Epoc machine (if there is an Add/Remove icon
in the Control panel).


Operation:
Start SideCalc like any other application, from the Extras
toolbar. See the online Help (command Menu > Tools > Help)
for instructions.

Pocket Folio for Epoc Version 1.0


Management of a portfolio of shares on an Epoc machine:
- Psion Series 5 and 5mx, revo, revo plus, Series 7, NetBook
- Ericsson MC218
- Diamond Mako
- GeoFOX One.



Installation:

This zip archive includes the following files:

- PktFolio.SIS
- Changes.txt
- ReadMe.txt
- PC_bar.SIS

Major changes from previous versions are summarized in Changes.txt.

The file PC_bar.SIS is normally not needed. It is already included in
PktFolio.SIS. However, depending on the PC system you are using, you
may be asked to install it separately. In this case, use is in the
same way as you did with PktFolio.SIS.

The installation file for the programme is PktFolio.SIS.

There are two ways of using a **.SIS installation file:
- from a PC (if PsiWin 2.x or later is installed), double-click
  on the file **.SIS (this can be done from the WinZip window,
  even without unzipping the **.SIS file)
- from the Epoc machine itself (if there is an Add/Remove icon
  in the Control panel): copy the **.SIS file anywhere on your
  Epoc machine and double-tap it.

The advantage of the first method is that it requires the minimum
number of actions from the user. The disadvantage is that it stops
all running applications on the Epoc machine before installing the
new files.

The advantage of the second method is that it does not close all
applications on the Epoc machine. The disadvantage is that it requires
unzipping the **.SIS file and copying it to the Epoc machine...


Startup:

After a correct installation, you should have the following files
in the following folders on your machine:

\System\Apps\PktFolio\PktFolio.aif
\System\Apps\PktFolio\PktFolio.app
\System\Apps\PktFolio\PktFolio.hlp
\System\Apps\PktFolio\PorfOnce.opo
\System\Opx\GPrinter.opx
\System\Opx\SysRAM1.opx
\System\Opx\Dbutils.opx
\system\Opx\PktFolio.opx
\system\Opx\PktFolio.rsc
\system\Opx\Kylom.mbm
\system\Opx\KylomUtils.opx
\System\Opm\pc_bar.opm

When the installation is complete, you will find a "Pkt Folio" icon
in the Extras bar. Tap on it to start Pocket Folio. You will be asked
to name your home currency. Answer with 3 letters (eg DEM, FRF, USD,
DEK...) and press Enter.

Press Ctrl+H to open the Help data file, which contains a very
comprehensive description of the application. Do not hesitate to enter
any keyword you fancy... To return to the application, press Ctrl+B, if
you want to keep Help running in the background, or Ctrl+E to stop it.

Note that after the first run of Pocket Folio, the file PorfOnce.opo
has been automatically deleted, and a new sub-folder has been created:
\System\Apps\PktFolio\Data\

useful currency conversion application for most Epoc
machines:

- Diamond Mako
- GeoFOX One.


Content:

on your PC (if PsiWin 2.x or later is installed). Or double-click
Currcalc.SIS on your Epoc machine (if there is an Add/Remove icon
in the Control panel).

A database with 66 currencies is proposed for installation. If
you had already created your own base with a previous version of
Currency Calc, answer <No> when the question is asked...


Operation:
Start Currency Calc like any other application, from the Extras
toolbar (the name of its icon is "Currency"). Key in an amount
and tap a the currency on the list. That's all!
