FLummox: README and Installation
=====================================================================

For the latest version of this document, please check

=====================================================================

Thanks for downloading Flummox! I hope you have many fun and
frustrating hours playing.

If you do enjoy it, please consider registering. For less than the
price of a movie in LA (well, if you take parking and popcorn into
consideration), you can save me and my cat from certain starvation.

Even if you don't register, please send me feedback. If you like
the game, let me know! If you hate it, please tell me what could be
done to make it fun. If you have suggestions for future versions,
send 'em on in. I can't promise that I'll respond to all emails,
but I will read every one.

If you would like to join the beta-test team, send me email. If I
need more testers, I'll be in touch.


=====================================================================
Installation:
=====================================================================

The archive you downloaded contains two versions of Flummox: a
hybrid Color/Monochrome version, and a smaller Monochrome-only
version. If you intend to run Flummox on a color-capable Palm
device, use the hybrid version.

- If you intend to install the color/hybrid version, use the
  file "Flummox.prc"

- If you intend to install the monochrome version, use the
  file "FlummoxBW.prc"


To install, follow the instructions below:

PC / Windows
---------------------------------------------------------------------
PC users should download the .zip file.

First, uncompress the .zip file. If you're using Windows XP, you can
open the .zip archive merely by double-clicking. Otherwise, use a
program like WinZip (http://www.winzip.com/) or Zip Wizard
(http://www.coffeecup.com/zip-wizard/), or your favorite other
Zip utility.

After uncompressing the zip file, double click on Flummox.prc
(for color) or FlummoxBW.prc (for monochrome). These will be
located whereever you chose to uncompress the .zip file.

Next, performing a HotSync operation. That should be it!

If Windows does not recognise Flummox as a Palm Application, then
you will need to install it manually. To do so, follow these steps:

- Start the Palm Desktop. Do this either by double clicking on the
  Palm Desktop Icon, or selecting Palm Desktop from the list of
  Programs in the Windows Start menu.
- Click on the "Install" Icon, which should be the icon at the bottom
  of the list on the left. If you don't see icons on the left of your
  screen, select "Install" under the "View" menu.
- Click "Add" in the Install Tool.
- Select Flummox.prc for the color version, or FlummoxBW.prc for
  the monochrome version.
- Click "Done" in the Install Tool.
- The next time you HotSync, Flummox will be installed onto your
  Palm device.



Macintosh
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Macintosh users can download the .zip or .sit files.

First, uncompress the archive file. Use a program like
Stuffit (http://www.stuffit.com/) to open the archive.

After uncompressing the archive, double click on Flummox.prc (for
color) or FlummoxBW.prc (for monochrome). These will be located
whereever you chose to uncompress the archive.

Next, performing a HotSync operation. That should be it!

If Mac OS does not recognise Flummox as a Palm Application, then
you will need to install it manually. To do so, follow these steps:

- Start the Palm Desktop. Do this either by double clicking on the
  Palm Desktop Icon, or selecting Palm Desktop from icon on the
  menubar (Mac OS 8-9.x), or clicking on the Palm Desktop icon in the
  Dock (Mac OS X).
- Choose "HotSync" from the top menu bar.
- Select "Install Handheld Files".
- Click on "Add To List".
- Select Flummox.prc for the color version, or FlummoxBW.prc
  for the monochrome version.
- Click "Done".
- The next time you HotSync, Flummox will be installed onto
  your Palm device.

Unix / Linux
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lemme get this straight. You're running Unix, and you don't know
how to install a file on a Handheld? Right, then!

Download the .tar file or the .tgz file (if you have GNU utilities
installed), or the .zip file if you have "unzip" installed.

Uncompress the archive:
- type "tar -xvf flummox.tar" for a simple .tar file.
- type "gunzip flummox.tgz; tar -xvf flummox.tar" for the .tgz
  file (or "tar -xzvf flummox.tgz" if you have the GNU version
  of tar)
- type "unzip flummox.zip" for the .zip file

Install Flummox.prc for the color version, or FlummoxBW.prc
for the monochrome version, using whatever HotSync tool you use:

For pilot-link, you should be able to type
"pilot-xfer /dev/pilot -i flummox.prc".

For JPilot, you should use the "Install" screen, click on "Add"
and select the version of Flummox you wish to install, click on
"Done" and perform a HotSync.

Uninstalling
---------------------------------------------------------------------
To uninstall Flummox is simple, and is done by using the Palm OS
software delete. You can follow these steps:

- Tap on the Applications/Home silk-screen icon.
- Tap on the menu
- Under "App", tap "Delete" (or "Delete Apps").
- Find Flummox in the list of applications, and tap on it.
- Think long and hard if losing all those hours of entertainment are
  worth the puny amount of memory you will be freeing.
- If you really want to delete Flummox, tap on the "Delete"
  button.
- Tap the "Yes" button in response to the confirmation message.
- Tap "Done".
