Installation instructions:

If you already have an existing installation of Med-Notes 0.999p, 
just remove the old Med-Notes and Med-NotesData Installer
and download the new Med-Notes 0.999z5. You probably will 
not need to download the installer unless this is a new 
installation.  

The programs are large so  you may want to download the 
installer (MedNotesData.pkg) first and install the data 
needed by the main program, remove the installer and then 
download the main program (MedNotes.pkg) to try it out.  

The data has the same 16 word list sets as version 0.999p. This 
means you need to decide if you want to keep any of the old word
lists or install new ones. The only reason to keep the old ones is
you may have edited the lists and want to keep the changes or you
may have created a set of lists of your own. The installer program
will detect the old lists and ask you if you want to keep all of 
them, remove them and install new lists, or install one or more 
list sets individually.  

If you decide you want some of the lists but not all then you will
install them one at a time, overwriting old list sets or unused sets.
You can decide where each set will go in the list of 16 sets that
can be installed.


To create a fresh installation with new data:

Offload as many unused programs from your Newton as possible. Make
sure you can reinstall them if needed later, but during the
installation you will need as much free memory as possible. Programs
that are installed but not running still use some memory. If you have
had Med-Notes on your machine before, make sure that there is no old
Med-Notes data on the machine by using the older version of the data
installer to remove all data before you download the new data
installer for Med-Notes. Older data is not compatible with the new
program and will be ignored. The installer is approximately 350k
bytes of code and after it is used to install the Med-Notes data and
word lists, it can be removed to save space. The main program is
about 450k bytes and together they take up 3/4 of a megabyte on a RAM
card. So you will need that much free to download them both at once.

Download and launch only the installer program. This is used to
create the demo data and load the word lists available from the
developer. Tap on the top button "Install DEMO data".  Do this even
if you don't need the demo data. You can immediately unload that data
if it is of no interest, but the installation is required to set up
the data storage correctly for any data you add later while using the
program. Tap the button "Install word lists". This will take one to
two minutes to load the more than 140 lists. Tap the button "Install
Help System". This will ease the first use of the software. It can be
unloaded at any time to save space in the system. It takes up about
50kbytes on a RAM card. If you get a message that the memory is low
and the Newton needs to be reset, go ahead and reset it and then come
back here and reload the help system. When Help is used by a user, as
soon as you change screens, the Help system memory is recovered. You
can remove the installer application from your Newton.

Download the main program and you are ready to use it. Remember the
built-in help system when you don't know what something is for. Just
tap the "?" button and then tap the unknown object on the screen.
