WARNINGSÊFORÊNAPKIN CALC 1.1


Please read this message before installing Napkin Calc on your device.

First of all, let us mention that Napkin Calc is shareware written by people working in a small company. Although we try to get rid of all the bugs we find before sending an application out in the real world, our beta testing facilities are fairly limited. We believe that this application is stable and shouldnÕt cause any major (or permanent)Êproblems, but we might have missed something.


REAPPEARINGÊORÊGHOSTÊSOUP
The reason for the existence of the now renowned Òghost soupÓ is that when you backup your Newton using the Connection Kit(tm), the lists your entered with Napkin Calc (or even with applications other than ours that also keep data permanently) are also backed-up. If you ever decide you donÕt want to use Napkin Calc and remove it, and the lists you created, well, the soup (the database holding your lists) might suddenly come back.

Why?ÊBecause the Connection Kit(tm) reinstalls them. Actually, it only reinstalls the container which used to hold the lists, not the lists themselves. So what to do?ÊWell, you can leave it there and wait for some future solution (it barely takes up any memory). The ideal solution is to re-erase the soup (maybe by reinstalling Napkin Calc and re-deleting the soup) and then do a new synchronisation from scratch The easiest way to do this is simply by changing the name of the folder with your name on it. This will still leave you a copy to work with in case something goes wrong. And since a new synchronisation file will be created thereÕs no way the soup can be copied back in. But be careful to make at least one backup of your old files before doing this, just in case. We also recommend that you reread parts of the Connection Kit(tm)Êmanual before doing this, just to be sure you understand all the implications.


GENERALÊWARNINGS
HereÕs what to do If youÕve installed Napkin Calc and decide not to keep it. Before removing it you must go into the Options dialog and tap on the REMOVE EVERYTHINGÊbutton. This is the only safe way of removing information installed by Napkin Calc. If you do not use this button before removing Napkin Calc, certain information will still be found on you device.

Well, thatÕs mostly it for our warnings. For more information, we strongly recommend that you read the READ ME file which is, in fact, the instruction manual. Let us repeat that most of the comments we receive are very positive and that very few bugs are actually ever found by users. But if you do have a problem, please write to us.
