What's New?
___________

- PocketWatch+ is the successor of the freeware 'PocketWatch for OS
  3.5'. It is based on the HackMaster extension architecture. It contains
  many new features and runs on handhelds with older Palm OS
  versions. Even 'PocketWatch for OS 3.5' got heaviliy improved in regards
  to hack compatibility, its architecture didn't allow operation with
  hacks like Padlock+. PocketWatch+ does. 


Before using PocketWatch+
_________________________

PocketWatch+ is a Hackmaster extension and all the precautions usually
recommended when installing a hack should be considered to protect
yourself against potential data loss:

- First hotsync and backup your handheld (use a backup program
  like BackupBuddy or the freeware BackupAll)!

- Make sure that you are using the latest version.

- Check the 'Known Issues and Incompatibilities' section below.

- If you experience problems it is the best to disable all hacks,
  enable PocketWatch+, test it and then enable the rest one by one.
