Decimal Equivalents, Drills, And Tap Drills For The PalmOS
|
 |
-
What is the current version of ISOFits?
The application is currently at v1.04
-
What is the difference between the Registered and Unregistered versions?
The downloadable 5 day demo app is fully functional with a
few minor exceptions and annoyances:
- The opening splash screen cannot be disabled
- "Tap anywhere to begin" on the opening splash screen
displays a nag message with an "Ok" button which must be
tapped to continue.
- Changing the View Options displays a nag message with an
"Ok" button prior to regenerating the display list.
- A nag message with an "Ok" button is displayed upon
exiting the application.
- Preferences are not saved between sessions.
- Customized tables are not saved between sessions.
-
Do I have to pay for version upgrades?
Absolutely not! All upgrades are free at this time
and, although I reserve the right to change this policy at a later date, I do not anticipate doing
so. It would only happen in the case of a major reinvention of the application.
To get the latest version upgrade, simply download the current demo file from this site or from your
place of purchase, install per instructions below, and re-enter your registration code.
-
How do I install a version upgrade or re-install my current version?
Although not always required,
the safest way to upgrade many PalmOS applications is to delete
the current app prior to installing the upgrade.
To delete a previous version:
- Ensure that you know your correct registration code
prior to beginning. If not certain, start the ISOFits application and
tap the "Registered" button on the splash ("About") screen or
tap Menu -> Options -> Register.
- Turn on your PalmOS PDA and, if necessary, tap the "Home"
("Applications" on older models) icon to return to the
application launcher screen.
- Tap the "Menu" icon or the menu area at the top of the screen
and select the "Delete" option.
- Wait a few seconds for the application list to be populated,
then find and tap to highlight the application to be removed.
- Tap the "Delete" button to remove the application.
- Tap the "Done" button to return to the application launcher
screen.
- Install and HotSync the new version in the usual manner.
- Re-enter your registration code and your custom preferences.

I just upgraded to a new version and now I get a fatal error or messed up display every time I start
the application!
See above.
-
How do I uninstall ISOFits?
Uninstall? Gosh, why? :)
Oh, well, if you must. Turn on your Palm OS device and tap the
"Home" icon (on newer devices) or the "Applications" icon (on
older ones). Now, tap the Menu and select the "Delete" option
under the "App" column. Wait a few seconds for the application
list to be populated, find the application which you want to
delete and tap it once to highlight it. Tap the "Delete" button,
wait a few seconds, and then tap the "Done" button.

My registration code doesn't work!
Registration codes are calculated based upon the exact
HotSync ID / User Name provided by you at the time of purchase.
For example, the code generating algorithm will produce
different codes for "carmine castiglia" vs "Carmine Castiglia"
and for "Bob Jones" vs "Bob Jones" (can you see the second
space between Bob and Jones?).
To enter your registration code, start the application and
tap the "Unregistered" button at the lower left of the opening
splash screen to go to the registration screen. Tap once
in the "Reg. Code" field and enter the code exactly as it was
given to you, including any leading zeroes, then tap the
"Register" button. If all is well, the application will
respond with a "Thanks for registering!" message.
If you get an "Invalid code" message instead (and have
double-checked your entry), it is likely that the HotSync ID /
User Name provided at the time of purchase does not match the
HotSync ID on your device.
Please download and HotSync MyName.prc to your
device. When you run this tiny application it will generate a report similar to
the following:

Please contact me and include all of the information
generated by the MyName app (letters, hyphens, digits - everything!). I
will provide a replacement code as soon as possible.

I am trying to download your application but all I get is an empty zip file??
It is very frustrating I know because it has happened to me
dozens (hundreds?) of times. I finally asked the WinZip
tech support folks about this and they replied:
"We typically see this behaviour when the temporary internet
files folder is full; you might try clearing some files from
this location, either manually or via your browser's options."
"There's also a known issue with the internet explorer
program; you might check the information available at the URL
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;308090."
"Another possible explanation is that an Anti Virus product
is involved; if the 'scan' of the archive is not completed when
the browser 'passes' the file to WinZip, the result is a 'blank'
WinZip window. I'd suggest temporarily disabling or
reconfiguring your Anti virus software to avoid the behaviour."
And, I would add, that the easiest short-term solution seems
to be to save the file to your disk rather than opening it
directly from the download site. In Internet Explorer,
that means right-clicking the download link and choosing the
"Save Target As" option from the context-sensitive menu.
In Netscape Navigator it's "Save Link Target As".

Why can't I find or purchase this app at PalmGear/Handango/etc?
Because at some point a guy has just got to take a stand.
The major ESD's (Electronic Sales Distributors) have raised their take on each sale
to an unforgivable 40% and more of selling price. Frankly, I would rather
give up the potential sales while making more of an effort to drive buyers directly to
my (this) web site.

Is ISOFits compatible with the
StyleTap® Platform on Windows Mobile devices?
The application was last tested with StyleTap Platform version 1.1.007
on a Hewlett-Packard iPaq rx 3715 and performed well. The most
recent release of ISOFits, v1.04, includes updated
graphics elements designed specifically for the StyleTap Platform and looks better than
ever.

How long does a fit synthesis take to perform?
Fit Synthesis is the most
complex of the tasks performed by ISOFits, requiring the
calculation and analysis of as many as 11,200 possible fits.
Even so, on newer model devices such as the Tungsten T3, the
process may take as little as 15-20 seconds. On the other hand,
a typical synthesis was timed at over 10 minutes on a Palm IIIxe.
Ouch!
