PLAN5 version 5.5 for the Psion Series 5 and Geofox-One
Copyright 1998, Andy Clarkson, All Rights Reserved

Description:

	Plan5 is a project planning tool for the Psion Series 5
	and Geofox-One. (A separate version is also available for
	the 3a/3c/Siena). Given a set of tasks, and resources working
	on those tasks, Plan will calculate the schedule for each
	task and the project as a whole, taking into consideration
	dependencies between tasks, resource work hours and holidays etc.

Packaging

	Two formats of ZIP file are available depending upon whether
	you have the necessary software to handle the installation of
	a SIS file*:

		- packaged as a SIS file (Plan5s.zip)
		- packaged as individual files (Plan5.zip)
		
	* If you have a PC then double clicking from Windows Explorer
	on a SIS file extracted from the Plan5s.zip file version
	will install the software to your Psion automatically. For
	this to work you will need either PsiWin 2.1 or to have
	previously installed Psion's Message Suite software.
	
	If your PC doesn't recognise the SIS file then either download
	the non-SIS based version of Plan5 and install the software
	manually (see below) or download the necessary installation
	software for your PC from:
	
		http://www.psion.com

User guide & sample plan

	The user guide is supplied with the software in Psion Word
	format. You can read and print this on your Psion. The manual
	will be installed to:
	
		\Documents\P5Manual

	A sample plan is also installed to:
	
		\Documents\P5Sample

Manual installation:

	The Plan55.zip file contains the following files:

	Readme.txt 	- this file

	Plan.app 	- plan application
	Plan.aif	- plan icon file
	Plan.icn	- plan toolbar icon file

	Gprinter.opx	- printer support file
	Agenda2.opx	- Agenda support file

	Plan.hlp 	- plan on-line help file (optional)
	Mpx.opo		- plan Microsoft Project transfer module (optional)
	Agn.opo		- plan Agenda transfer module (optional)

	P5Manual	- Manual in Psion 5 Word format
	P5Sample 	- example plan file (optional)

	Install the above files as follows:

	1) If you have a copy of an earlier version of Plan5,
	   back it up and remove it from the Psion.
	2) Create the folder \System\Apps\Plan on the Psion 5,
	   (You may need to make the System folder visible in
	   the Tools->Preferences menu to do this on the S5).
	   This folder can be on a compact flash disk if desired.
	   Copy Plan.app, Plan.aif and Plan.icn into this folder.
	3) Create the folder \System\Opx on the Psion 5.
	   Copy Gprinter.opx and Agenda2.opx into this folder.
	4) Optionally copy Plan.hlp, Mpx.opo and Agn.opo into the
	   \System\Apps\Plan folder. Take care that the
	   Plan.hlp file is not converted when copied (see note
	   below).
	5) Optionally copy the manual (P5Manual) and sample plan
	   (P5Sample) to the \Documents folder.
	6) Refer to the manual for further details.

	Note:

	If you are using PsiWin2 to copy the files to the Psion
	then ensure that the help and manual files are copied
	without conversion. Unless you are careful PsiWin2 can
	convert them to PC formated files when they are copied.
	There is an option in the PsiWin2 properties which when
	set will ensure that PsiWin prompts you if any conversion
	is required. I recommend that you turn this option on.

Upgrading from Plan for the Series 3a/3c/Siena:

	You cannot copy Plan files from the 3a/3c/Siena version
	of Plan onto the Series5 and use them with Plan5. What
	you need to do is to make use of the MPX module to
	export the data to an MPX file on the 3a and then import
	that file into a newly create plan in Plan5.
