About PsiLot for PSion Series 5
Copyright 1998 Ian Sayers
All Rights Reserved.

PsiLot is intended to provide an efficient and FUN means of maintaining, 
checking and creating UK Lottery data.  The current version provides for the 
input of User Names and their selections, Updating of lottery data 
(all the previous draw data is also provided) and, most importantly, 
the checking of user selections against the lottery data.  In addition 
the software also provides for the generation of printed copies of any of
the user data directly from the program.  Using this software prevents 
the headache of misplaced Tickets (the original Ticket is required to 
make any claim so do not lose it!) and a fun means to check whether or 
not you have won.

Beta Version 0.56B (First released version)
------------------
The current version of the software is a beta release.  I have also included
a time limit on the beta version of 31 May 1998, just to make sure there 
are not too many beta versions to support!  I have to make sure you will
come back for the full version.  After this date I should have the finished
version available for those that still want it (it depends on how much work
I have on before then).  

If you are interested I have also produced a Windows 95 version of the 
package called WinLot.  The database files of PsiLot and WinLot can be
swapped using the built in tools of PsiLot.  So you can transfer files
between the two packages.  If you want more information on the Windows 
version, please let me know.

If you have any suggestions for improvements, bug reports or additional 
features please let me know.  I may not respond immediately, but I will 
try to get back to you.

Setting up
   After unzipping all the files copy the first six files (i.e. not the
   txt files) to a directory called c:\system\apps\psilot.  The PsiLot
   icon should then appear in the extras box.  Tapping on the icon will
   launch the prorgram.  If the lottery data is over 10 days old the 
   program will issue a warning.  On running the first time you will 
   have to create at least a single user.  Please read the help file for
   further information.

   This is a shareware program that has no restrictions or "Nag Screens"
   so relies on the honour system. If you do register then Thank You for 
   your support.  If you win the lottery then remember me :-)

   If you continue to use this software for longer than 1 month without
   registering then shame on you!

To Register
   First go to the About menu item and display the about text.  If this 
   is an unregistered copy then a "Register?" button will be displayed. Use
   this button to display the Unique Machine ID of your Psion Series 5.  You
   will need this when asking for the registration key.  You will also 
   need to supply a registration name (max 15 chars). When the key is
   returned go back to this screen again and enter the registration name 
   and key, the software should now be registered.  To check go back to the
   About  dialog it should now show the registration name, instead of 
   "Unregistered Copy".  The registration includes free upgrades as and when
   they are generated.  It also includes the full release version.

   If you have to change you Psion Series 5 then you will need a new key. 
   New keys for those having problems with their Psion Series 5
   are FREE for the first 5 new keys.  So if you do change to a different 
   machine and it is registered software then please use the software for 
   a while on your new machine before requesting a new key.  Just to make 
   sure the new machine is operational!  I have had two new Psion Series 5s!
