Connect the Psion 3Link serial cable between the PC and your Psion 3a.  On the Psion, from the System screen, use Psion-l to set 
'Remote link'  to 'On' and ensure the 'Baud rate' is set correctly.

  The installation procedure differs considerably depending on whether you will use the DOS based RCOM or MCLINK programs 
supplied with earlier versions of the Psion Serial Link, or whether you use Windows based PsiWin. 

  Go to SECTION 1, if you will use MCLINK or RCOM,       or       Go to SECTION 2, if you will use PsiWin (or are a MAC user)



1) Installation procedure  (Using RCOM or MCLINK)

On the PC, start RCOM or MCLINK.  If you are installing Transmedia Pages from a diskette, simply insert the diskette into your PC's diskette drive.  If 
you are installing Transmedia Pages from the hard disk of a PC, you should have selected the base directory you copied all the files into.  You can easily 
identify this directory, as it will contain this 'readme.1st' file and the file 'pages.ini'.

  Upgrading from an earlier software revision - Delete the file \app\pages\mp_pages.opo on your Psion.  Then continue with the next step.

  Copying the software - Copy the file pagesmgr.opa from your PC to any \app directory on your Psion and use Psion-i on the Psion to install the 
PAGESmgr program. Enter PAGESmgr on the Psion., answer a few simple questions, and the software will be copied to the Psion.
 
  Copying the database(s) - PAGESmgr will ask you if you want to load a database from the PC.  Answering "Y" (for YES) will present you with a menu 
of databases available on the PC.  Select a database, answer a few simple questions, and the database will be copied to the Psion.  You can repeat this 
step for every databases you want to download.  You can repeat it at any time in the future, by simply entering PAGESmgr and selecting the 
appropriate option.
 
  Exit PAGESmgr and use Psion-i to install PAGESi.opa on your Psion.  The PAGESi icon will then appear on the screen.  Pressing 'Enter' on the 
PAGESi icon will take you into 'Transmedia Pages', allowing you to access, search and view the databases you have just downloaded.  
   
You will see that with the software now fully loaded, if you re-enter PAGESmgr, you will be presented with a new menu.  You will only need to use 
these options if, in the future, you want to download new software revisions and/or databases.  Such advanced use is documented in the file readme.2nd.




2) Installation procedure  (Using PsiWin or the MAC's Psion Link)

This procedure assumes you know how to use standard Windows "drag & drop" techniques.  As you do NOT want to convert files during copying, 
ensure PsiManager has conversion disabled.  You can check this in PsiWin's Psion Manager by selecting "conversions" from the "setup" menu and 
ensuring the "allow convert on Drag & Drop" box is clear, ie not selected.

  Copying the software - Manually create the \app\pages directory on your Psion, if it doesn't exist.  Copy the 2 files in the \app directory to a \app 
directory on any device on your Psion 3a and then copy all files in the \app\pages directory that start with the 3 characters 'mp_' and all files that 
start with the 3 characters 'wp&', 'ex&' and 'tm&' to a \app\pages directory on your Psion.

  Copying the database(s) - For each database you want to copy to your Psion, copy all files beginning with its 3 letter database code, (eg tmu ... see 
above) from the \app\pages directory on the diskette, to a \app\pages directory on any device on your Psion.
        
  Installing the software & database(s) - Use Psion-i to install the PAGESmgr and PAGESi icons on the System screen.  Enter PAGESmgr and select 
'Database Install/Remove'.  Having selected the Install button, for each database you copied to your Psion, enter the 3 letter database code (e.g.: 
tmu) to make the databases active.  Exit PAGESmgr.  You will only need to use PAGESmgr again if, in the future, you want to download new 
software revisions and/or databases.  Such advanced use is documented in the file 'readme.2nd'.
 
  Press 'Enter' on the PAGESi icon, which will take you into 'Transmedia Pages', allowing to access, search and view the databases you have just 
downloaded.
