Problems
--------

1. Read only files

Some times files become read only while being installed. None of the files
should be read only. If you get any errors like the program is unable to
write information to your Psion go through the program files to see if some
of them are read only.

In the system-view you can open the file property window by selecting
(highlighting) a file and pressing Ctrl-P. In the property window you can see
and set/clear the read only checkbox.

2. Copying between C and D

Be very careful when you move or copy applications between the C and D
drives. It seems that the Psion is not correctly updated when applicaions are
copied from C to D or vice versa.

Always delete the application directory from one drive before reinstalling on
the other drive.

3. Low on battery

When starting up this program for the first time a lot of writing is done to
the disk. If your machine is low on battery these writes can go wrong and
turn the application files bad. This should only be an issue when running the
application the first time.

4. Not enough memory

This program needs up to 300 Kb of free memory on the C drive. If you try to
run the program with less than 300 Kb of free memory on the C drive it may
not behave as expected.
