QuoteNerd Pro Installation Instructions


The distribution zip file containing this Readme file, includes both the handheld (PRC file) and PC Companion software. You can install the handheld software by itself - to do a quick evaluation - or you can install both the handheld and PC Companion software at the same time.

Installing Handheld software without the PC software

Installing both the Handheld and PC software.

The first step is to ensure that you have the required PC system support software installed. The QuoteNerd Pro PC software consists of a conduit that handles the synchronization of the handheld and PC data as well as a user application called the PC Companion. The required system support software is freely available from Palm One, Sun Microsystems and Gabriel Software.

Installing or Updating Required System Support Software:

If you are upgrading a previously installed version of QuoteNerd Pro you should already have the required system support software installed. If you are installing QuoteNerd Pro for the first time, you will need to perform one or more of the steps listed below. You can use the hotlinks provided to download required support software.

Installing or Updating the QuoteNerd Pro Applications:

Installing the Sample Items Catalog

QuoteNerd Pro comes with an Sample Items Catalog to help get you started. The sample items use a variety of item features by way of example. The Sample Catalog is provided as both a Palm PDB file and a tab delimited text file. Use the PDB file (SampleItemsCatalog.PDB) if you are installing QuoteNerd Pro for the first time on a handheld. Do NOT use the PDB file if you have already created a catalog on the Handheld or wish to auto import your catalog from an existing QuoteNerd Lite installation on the handheld. In both of these cases, import the catalog items (SampleItemsCatalog.txt) using the PC Companion application. Importing the catalog items, with the PC Companion, will not overwrite existing catalog data that you have created.



QuoteNerd Pro Uninstall Instructions
