README FILE FOR TRIV

Requirements
------------
To install Triv, you need a PDA or cell phone running PalmOS version 2.0 or later (this currently includes all systems through PalmOS 6 [Cobalt] and all known Palm-compatible devices from Palm, Handspring, Sony, and others except the Pilot 1000 and 5000). You also need a Macintosh, PC, or other computer from which to synchronize your PalmPilot.

As with all PalmPilot software, make sure that you have backed up all of your data before installing Triv. Although Triv has been tested with a variety of operating system versions and hacks, the author cannot be held responsible for unexpected problems.


Installing Triv
---------- ----
To run Triv, you need to load the Triv application itself (Triv.prc) and at least one of Triv's data modules (*.pdb) onto your Palm device.

The following files can be found in the "Apps" folder:

Triv.prc - The Triv application itself
*.pdb - Trivia modules (e.g., Choice_Couplets.pdb)
TrivFind.prc - A search utility for looking up trivia questions
