Calc98 for WindowsCE Devices ---------------------------- Calc98 is a Scientific/Engineering calculator with units conversions and physical properties. Statistics, financial, array and matrix functions. It supports algebraic or RPN logic, and customisable size, fonts, layout and appearance. We recommend that you back up your WindowsCE device before starting installation. The Calc98 files are compressed either as a self-extracting zip file (C98xxxx.exe) or as a zip file (C98xxxx.zip). Self-extracting files can be unpacked by running the file (e.g. by double-clicking the icon). You can choose the directory where you want the files to go, or use the default (recommended). Otherwise, the files can be unpacked using a utility such as zip, WinZip or PKUNZIP. Once the files have been unpacked on your PC, they need to be copied to your device. By default, the self-extracting file will start this process automatically, provided you are running an up-to-date version of ActiveSync on your PC. Otherwise you may need to double-click on setup.exe in the directory where the files were installed on your PC and follow the directions. ActiveSync is available from Microsoft and is normally supplied with the device. If you are upgrading Calc98 it may warn you that the application is already installed, and you will need to confirm that you want to re-install. Once installed, Calc98 should appear in your Start menu and in Start/Programs. If you are unable to use the setup program for any reason you will need to transfer the files manually. The application files are compressed in a "cab" file (C98XXXXX.cab). This file should be copied onto your device e.g. using the ActiveSync Explorer. Once transferred, you need to run the cab file on the device. You can either use File Explorer on the device to navigate to the file, or install it into the directory "MyDevice/Windows/Start Menu" which makes it appear in the Start Menu on the device. When you run the cab file the calculator is installed on the device. You can then run it from the shortcuts in the Start Menu or in Programs. The files are actually installed in the directory "MyDevice/Program Files/Calc98CE". A simple help file is installed but the full help files are in the CalcHelp directory which is on your PC. We suggest you use a browser on your PC to read these, because they are quite large. The starting point is CalcHelp/index.htm. If you prefer to install them on the device, you will need to copy the whole CalcHelp directory to the "MyDevice/Program Files/Calc98CE" directory on the device. To remove the application from the device, go to Settings/Remove Programs, select Calc98 and choose Remove. To copy the application to another device Send the cab file using the IR port. Provided the other device uses the same or a compatible CPU you can then run the cab file on the other device to install the application. The cab file is automatically deleted from the device during installation, so if you want to use it again you need to make it read-only. Please read the licence terms and other information in the file Readme.htm in the CalcHelp directory. Further installation instructions are in the file Install.htm and information about this release is contained in the file Release.htm.
