Bugs reports are most welcome.


Thank you for trying this Assets Manager, it is developed under Palm OS 2.0 
(Palm III compatible as reported by users) and cannot be run under OS 1.0. 
In addition, this is an unregistered version and the numbers of A/C 
and transactions are limited to 4 and 40 respectively.
Should you find this shareware useful, please register and you can monitor
up to 50 A/Cs and 2000 transactions (can be extended). Of course you can get 
free upgrades too (as long as it is not a commercial-ware).


Sample Databases
----------------

I added two sample database *.pdb, you can hotsync it to your pilot to have
a basic idea.


0. What's new in version 1.03

1. Installation
---------------

Before you hotsync the assets.prc, please switch to another 
application (like MemoPad) if you have previous version installed 
(i.e. don't lock it) and then hotsync.
