Welcome to psAddle - a numbers strategy game from _the_ quality software house that's
100% dedicated to freeware.

What is psAddle?
================
It's the game of Addle ported to the Psion (see the Acknowledgements section below).
psAddle is a simple but addictive numbers strategy game played against the Psion.
There are 3 difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, and Hard.


Game objectives
===============
1) Beat the Psion's Score by as much as possible
2) Improve upon your own Best Score for that level
3) Beat the Psion's Best Score and number of Wins

Start by taking any 'highlighted' number from the grid (i.e. tap on one of the cells
in the raised line on the grid).  The Psion then has to select from the column/row
you've chosen.  The game is over when either player cannot move or all the numbers
have been used up.

See the psAddle help file (accessed from the game) for full details of how to play,
scoring, etc.


Acknowledgements
================
psAddle was originally written for the Psion by John Peat (john@peatj.demon.co.uk)
and he supported it until recently up to v1.01b.  Unfortunately - due to other
committments - John was not able to continue to support or develop his programs as
he would have liked.  Consequently, FreEPOC have agreed to take over John's programs.
And in the case of psAddle, that means me!


Compatibility
=============
psAddle has been tested on both an 8Mb Series 5 and a 16Mb 5mx.  It has not been
tested on an Ericsson MC218 although it should work on this machine.  Expect to
see Geofox, Revo, and Series 7 compatibility in the next release of psAddle.


Installation
============
*********************************************************************************
* Note: If you have John Peat's original version of psAddle installed, I would  *
* recommend removing it before installing this latest version.  This because    *
* not all of the files in the original version are re-used and (since it wasn't *
* originally distributed as a .sis installation) they will not be deleted by    *
* the new version.                                                              *
*********************************************************************************

psAddle.zip contains 3 files.  ReadMe.txt (i.e. this file!), psAddle.sis, and
Systinfo.sis.  psAddle.sis and Systinfo.sis install using the standard EPOC
installer (either from your PC or on the Psion itself - see Psion's own web site
for details).  NB: This is the latest (ER5) version of Systinfo.sis and must be
installed for VoiceMan5 to work - make sure that you don't have any old (ER3)
versions on your machine.


"Incompatible opx version" during installation
==============================================
If you should get this error when you're installing Systinfo.sis (which contains
it's respective opx files) then one of two possible things could be the problem:-

1) You've got an older version of Systinfo.opx on your machine causing conflict
with the new one.  Symbian released a new version of the Systinfo.opx file for
ER5/5mx compatibility.  The new file will work fine on the S5 as well as the 5mx
- but all machines appear to get confused if there's a copy of the old Systinfo.opx
on the machine somewhere as well as the new one.

Hence I'd recommend checking for old versions of this file either in c:/system/opx/
or d:/system/opx/ before installing the new version.  BTW, old apps. will work
fine with this newer version.

2) That you've got a program already running that's using this opx when you try
to install it (e.g. Macro5).  Close down running programs before the installation.


Standard disclaimer
===================
Whilst I have tested psAddle carefully, I cannot and do not give - or imply - any
sort of warranty with it.  Nor will I accept responsibility for any data lost or
damage caused as a result of using psAddle...  I.e. use at your own risk!
