SysInfo v5.0 ============ Version 5.0 - May 25, 2007 Copyright (C) 2001-2007 Laurent Duveau Web Site = http://www.aldweb.com e-Mail = info@aldweb.com SysInfo is a shareware program with a very reasonable price of $15. Overview -------- SysInfo stands for SYStem INFOrmation. SysInfo is a set of seven utilities for Palm devices: - Device Shows device's Serial Number and Display information (size and color depth). Monitors the usage made of the device, provides statistics about it and the system’s stability. - Processor Tells what processor is in your Palm device, providing information about the processor (frequency and clock speed). Allows downclocking and overclocking of processor for the DragonBall family processors (USE AT YOUR OWN RISK - please read appropriate notice in this file). - Palm OS Gives version number of PalmOS (takes into account patches). Shows whether Security password is set or not. Allows to remove this password with no loss of protected records when the similar option from PalmOS will delete these records. Shows HotSync information (HotSync username and last successful HotSync date). Allows to force the HotSync backup bit for all databases and applications, which is especially useful for applications that were beamed to the device or installed not using the Desktop install tool and which, very often, have their backup bit not set! - Memory For main memory card and eventual additional additional memory card, calculates memory's storage use by files in both ROM (Read Only Memory, including Flash memory) and RAM (Random Access Memory). - Files This utility is accessed from the Memory screen. It draws a pie chart showing INTERNAL or EXTERNAL memory use (both ROM and RAM) by main programs. Tick on one piece of the pie to get details about one program (data and executable sizes) and eventually remove it from the pie chart view. - Battery Gives exact current, warning and critical voltage values. Estimates Full battery voltage (not provided by PalmOS). SysInfo uses a special algorithm to guess it and precision increases over time. Monitors the battery charge level over time and provides graphical statistics about it. - Off Time Shows automatic off time value for your Palm device. Allows to change this auto off timer with wider options than PalmOS. SysInfo works on black & white, grayscaled and color enabled devices. How to install SysInfo? ----------------------- Minimum Palm OS requirement is version 3.0 SysInfo is Palm OS v5 compliant. Both black & white (for black & white and grayscaled devices) and color versions of SysInfo are available. Whether your device is color enabled or not, SysInfo will automatically detect it and adapt to display all items in black & white or in color. If you have the trial version of SysInfo then you will install these files: SysInfo_trial.PRC If you have the full version of SysInfo then you will install these files: SysInfo_full.PRC SysInfo is a PRC file that is installed like any other Palm OS file using HotSync. So, extract SysInfo_full.PRC or SysInfo_trial.PRC from the ZIP archive file. Double-click on it and the Palm install tool will popup. SysInfo_full.PRC (or SysInfo_trial.PRC) will be transferred to your Palm device next time you synchronize your device with your PC with HotSync. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Uninstall any previous version of SysInfo before installing this one on your device. Limitations of the unregistered version of SysInfo -------------------------------------------------- The limitations of the trial version of SysInfo are: - Nag screen to remind you to buy the full version - Limited to 10 uses - Some functionalities are not activated or limited (save to memo, change processor frequency, remove password, backup bit set, long Auto off time, partial browsing in the Files pie charts) How to buy SysInfo? ------------------- To get a full version of SysInfo, please buy it on one of these three online stores, according to where you downloaded the trial version: PALMGEAR http://www.palmgear.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=software.showsoftware&prodid=36679 HANDANGO http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?productId=166630 PDASSI http://www.pdassi.com/product.php?prod_id=2421 The cost of SysInfo is just as little as $15.

WARNING about the downclocking or overclocking functionality for DragonBall equiped devices ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many people have been overclocking their Palm OS based devices (for those equiped with one of the DragonBall's family processor) and several tools are dedicated to this purpose. I have never heard of any hardware damage due to overclocking. Having said that however, I really want to point out here that YOU USE THIS FUNCTIONALITY OF SYSINFO AT YOUR OWN RISK. Be careful not to overclock when performing sensitive operations, like writing to flash, hotsyncing... Legal Information ----------------- This software is Copyright (C) 2001-2007 Laurent Duveau.
