Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Place the VECTOR.APP file in any \APP\ directory (folder) on the Psion.
Use the System "Apps, Install" option to select the Vector file.

All other files are optional, but if you install the JKFF.VEC example it
requires the LOGIC.VSL and ELECTRIC.VSL symbol files to be present. In
general the files should be installed in the directory structure shown
above but, provided you follow the guidelines below, this may be varied.

Drawing files have the default extension of .VEC and normally reside in
the \VEC\ folder. This is optional and drawing files may have any
extension and be placed anywhere on the disk.

System files must be placed in the \APP\VECTOR\ folder before use,
although they they can be on any disk. System drawing files have the
following file extensions:-

  *.VSL  Vector Symbol Library
  *.VFT  Vector Font file
  *.VTP  Vector template

These files may be viewed and edited where ever they are on the disk but
in order to be used as a system file, they must be in a \APP\VECTOR\
directory.
