Download and installation (Palm)

System requirements

Models that won't work

The following computers use older versions of Palm OS, and Universalis will not work with them:

Handspring Visor, Visor Solo, Visor Deluxe (Palm OS 3.1)
Palm IIIe (Palm OS 3.3), Pilot, PalmPilot

You need a computer running Palm OS version 3.5 or later. Most computers manufactured after early 2000 use a suitable version of Palm OS.

You need 4.8MB (4800KB) of free memory on your computer.

Universalis works with expansion memory cards (see below).

Downloading

Download the following file: univpalm.zip.

Your browser may let you choose between opening the file and saving it. We usually prefer to save our downloaded files and open them separately later: if you do this, remember which folder (directory) your browser has saved the file into so that you can find it afterwards!

Installation

Windows XP

If you have Windows XP, you can install Universalis on your Palm OS computer as follows:

Open univpalm.zip by double-clicking on it.
A folder will open and you will see two files, universalis.prc and univ.pdb. Double-click on each one in turn: the Palm Install Tool will open each time, and add the relevant file to the list of files that will be installed on the next HotSync operation.
Perform a HotSync. The total size of the Universalis files is about 4.5MB, so the HotSync that installs Universalis will be slow. On a Palm Vx it takes more than 5 minutes; more modern Palms that use USB for synchronization will be faster.

Other operating systems

Extract universalis.prc and univ.pdb from the downloaded file univpalm.zip. Suitable utilities for opening Zip files are available for both Windows and Mac OS.
Tell the Palm Install Tool to install both universalis.prc and univ.pdb on your hand-held computer. You may be able to do this by double-clicking on the files, or you may need to open the Palm Install Tool yourself and press the Add button to add the files to the tool's installation list.
Perform a HotSync.

Once the installation has been completed, you can delete univpalm.zip.

Universalis on expansion memory cards

Universalis works on expansion memory cards (SD cards, Memory Stick). Universalis comes as two files: the program universalis.prc, which is small, and the data file univ.pdb, which is large. You have two choices:

You can place both universalis.prc and univ.pdb on the memory card, and run Universalis from there. Your computer will copy universalis.prc temporarily to main memory before running it, but since this file is small it will not cause much of a delay.
You can leave universalis.prc in main memory and move univ.pdb to the memory card. Since univ.pdb is huge, this will save you a lot of space. In this case, you must copy universalis.prc to a particular location: the name of the directory is /Palm/Launcher. On some computers this directory will not already exist and you will have to create it.

The application to be used for copying files between main memory and the memory card varies from one PalmOS computer to another. For example, on the Sony Clié it is called Clié Files.
