FileLink creates links to files on a Psion 5 in a
similar way that Windows95 uses shortcuts. That is,
a file, which when run, will open up another file.

The program is freeware and copyright J.D.Medhurst 1998

--------------------------------------------------------

Limitations...

What FileLink WILL do:

* Create links to any file which can be opened by tapping
  it in the system screen.
* Create links to other files if you have a program that
  responds to requests to open them. e.g. VReader5 can
  be used to open plain text files.

What FileLink will NOT do:

* Create links to folders
* Create links to files if the program you select to open
  them with can't handle that type of file; OR it ignores
  the request from FileLink to open them. In these cases
  the selected program will run but will not open the file
  you want. Such programs include Web, which won't open
  HTML files. :(

--------------------------------------------------------

NOTE - If you already have version 1.00 of this
program which was called 'Shortcut' then you will need
to remove it from your Psion before installing this
newer version. To remove Shortcut:

  * If you have given Shortcut a specific slot on the
    extras bar then you will need to set this slot to
    'Any Program'.
  * Rename the folder \System\Apps\Shortcut to
    \System\Apps\ShortcutX.
  * Bring up the extras bar and after a few seconds
    Shortcut should disappear.
  * Now delete the folder \System\Apps\ShortcutX

--------------------------------------------------------

To install this program:

1. Create a new folder in the \SYSTEM\APPS folder called
   'FileLink'. If the SYSTEM folder is not visible then
   enable it from PREFERENCES in the TOOLS menu on the
   system screen.
2. Copy all the files (except SYSRAM1.OPX) from the zip
   file into the new folder.
3. If you don't already have SYSRAM1.OPX on your Psion
   then create a folder called OPX in the SYSTEM folder
   and copy SYSRAM1.OPX into it.

Revision history.
