                     What’s on the CD
                               We’ve covered an awful lot of software in this book. To make it all easier to
                               handle, we’ve loaded it all onto the CD-ROM that comes with this book. That
                               way, you don’t need to spend hours and hours online, going to different Web
                               sites, and using your precious online time to download everything that you
                               need.
                                 You’ll find that the CD-ROM is organized into three main folders:

                                   ❏ Palm Robot Reader     This folder has versions of the Palm Robot
                                       Programmer application (from Chapter 6) for a variety of
                                       operating environments, including Windows, Mac, and Linux.
                                   ❏ Other Applications    Here, you’ll find all the utilities and other
                                       applications we wrote about in the book. Each program has its
                                       own folder, making it all easy to find.
                                   ❏ Licenses    We’ve rounded up all of the software licenses and
                                       stored them in one place. Please be sure to read these before using
                                       any program contained on the CD.


                     How to Use the CD

                               Using the CD is pretty straightforward. If you want to install an application like
                               the Palm Robot Programmer, do this:

                                   1. Insert the disc in your CD-ROM drive. Depending upon your
                                      operating system, the disc will automatically open on your desktop
                                      or you’ll need to open it yourself.
                                   2. Locate the folder you want to open and double-click on it. If you
                                      want to install the Palm Robot Programmer, double-click that folder
                                      (Mac users, of course, only need to single-click).
                                   3. Now locate the folder for your operating system and double-click.

                                   4. Double-click the Install icon for the Palm Robot Programmer and
                                      follow the onscreen instructions.

                                  That’s the basic procedure for installing many of the applications on the
                               CD-ROM. Note that for some apps in the Other Applications folder, there’s
                               only one version provided—in most cases, for the Palm OS.
