Subject:      Installing PalmUtilities
Status: RO

The PalmUtilities installer DOES look for 4 COM ports, but it does 
assume that the IRQs are the default settings for the ports.  Possibly 
we needed to document this better, but the optional arguments /COM 
and /IRQ are provided for cases where the IRQs are not default.

>>>The "Backup Utility" creates a FOLDER called Backup on your 
FLASH/SRAM card.   It then creates a Directory tree on top of the 
"Backup" DIR/FOLDER.  EXAMPLE if you back up the DOCUMENT 
folder, you would find the backed up
files in:  C:\BACKUP\GEOWORKS\DOCUMENT<<<

This is true, but there's more.  If you happen to have a 
C:\GEOWORKS>DOCUMENT parallel directory, so that files on that 
directory also appear in B:[INTERNAL]\GEOWORKS\DOCUMENT, the 
Backup utility will also make copies of those files on the Flash/RAM 
card in the C:\BACKUP\GEOWORKS\DOCUMENT folder.  

We envisioned that users might keep a memory card just for backup 
while travelling, but it doesn't matter what else is already on the card 
assuming there's space for the backup.  It is a completely 
non-destructive process.
