FAQ

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Why is it called Pane ?

A: Pane stands for "Palm ANnual Events"

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: On my m100/m105 with PalmOS 3.5.x, the Clock app's alarm doesn't sound
   when there's an anniversary on the same day!

A: This is a known problem with the Clock app, any alarm dialog on
   the screen will keep it from sounding its alarm. Palm has fixed
   this in PalmOS4.0 so you're safe if you have an m125 or m50x.

   With Pane, you can work around this by telling it to check for
   new events _after_ your usual clock alarm goes off.
   However, that doesn't help in case the agenda/datebook app has
   displayed an alert, so be warned.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Why can't I tell Pane to skip some categories?

A: Assumed is that since you bothered entering the dates of special
   events, it must be worth displaying them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Can't Pane add an entry to the DateBook or to the ToDo list?

A: I'll probably link Pane to the DateBook, but don't plan to do something
   with the ToDo list.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Pane runs ok but I never get the alarm!

A: You aren't running Pane off a memory card are you? Try putting it in
   RAM instead.

A: Maybe you use runtime to keep track of your batteries?

   Runtime's auto-off feature keeps other apps from processing their
   alarms. This means that if you asked Pane to check for new events
   at 00:00, it doesn't get a chance to alert you since runtime switches
   your palm off.

   Just disable the auto-off, or tell Pane to check for new events at
   another moment (for example at 23:55 or 00:05)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: My system crashes sometimes, and I think it is due to Pane!

A: Again, don't run Pane from a memory card and all should be fine.
