ExpensePlus 2.0 for Newton Thank you for purchasing ExpensePlus 2.0. We think you'll love this exciting new Newton software product, and we feel confident that it will make your life a lot easier if you must create expense reports on even an occassional basis. If you don't already have the ExpensePlus 2.0 Handbook, you can download it in Adobe Acrobat format from our home page at http://members.aol.com/walletware. If you don't have the Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can download it from America Online (keyword: Adobe) or from Adobe's home page: http://www.adobe.com. Or if you prefer, we can send you a paperback version of the handbook for a minimal shipping/handling charge. The ExpensePlus 2.0 Handbook can be printed directly from Adobe Acrobat Reader, but we think you'll prefer to use it in its interactive electronic format. The table of contents are embedded as Acrobat Bookmarks, enabling you to view the entire structure of the handbook in collapsable outline formats. Clicking on any part of the outline takes you directly to that part of the handbook. In addition, there are hypertext (all underlined words) and hyperlinks (most buttons, icons, and graphics) that instantly transport you to related sections of the handbook. Using the "Find" feature makes it easier to find a particular word or phrase than using the most comprehensive index in the back of any other paper manual. We hope you like using the new electronic handbook. If you are upgrading from an earlier version of ExpensePlus 2.0, the electronic handbook has not changed in version 2.0.5. If, however, you are upgrading from ExpensePlus 1.0, you should download the new manual, or call us at (714) 262-9380 for a hard copy of the manual. There is also a Newton ExpensePlus Help package that you can optionally install on your PDA, giving you over 100 Newton-sized pages of help for ExpensePlus 2.0 right on your Newton and accessible from virtually any window within ExpensePlus. Though this help file takes up about 100K of your storage card or internal memory, we think you'll find it quite valuable if you have the extra room. If not, ExpensePlus 2.0 will run fine without it. And last, but not least, is the optional ExpensePlus Notes Stationery. Though you don't need this package to use ExpensePlus, if you have a Newton 2.0 or 2.1 PDA, you'll probably find it indespensible. With it installed on your Newton PDA, you'll be able to create expense slips right from the notepad. There will be a new item in your "New" button, along with Note, Checklist, and Outline, called Expense. Tap this item, and a new expense slip will be created within your notes package. Create as many expense slips as you need, and then the next time you launch ExpensePlus, it will automatically move all of the expense slip notes from your notepad into your expense report. To use this new package, you'll need to have a Newton 2.0 or 2.1 PDA. The main ExpensePlus 2.0 package, however, will run on any Newton operating system -- from version 1.0 to version 2.1. But if you haven't upgraded to a Newton 2.0 or 2.1 PDA yet, we highly recommend that you consider doing so to take advantage of the better handwriting recognition, the faster speed, and the dozens of features 2.0 or 2.1 has to offer. Plus, you can now capture all of your expenses while traveling by using your notepad without having to launch ExpensePlus on a Newton 2.0 MessagePad! If you own a Newton 1.0 device, install the EXP2NOS1.pkg onto your Newton PDA. If you own a Newton 2.0 or 2.1 device (a MessagePad 120, MessagePad 130, a MessagePad 2000, or an eMate) then install the EXP2NOS2.pkg onto your Newton PDA, as well as the EXPNOTES.PKG. If you are upgrading from ExpensePlus 2.0.x, then you must delete the current version of ExpensePlus before installing this latest version. Your expense report files will not be affected if you delete the ExpensePlus package. If you are upgrading from ExpensePlus 1.0.x, then you do not need to remove the ExpensePlus 1.0 package before installing version 2.0. Finally, there is a known problem with Apple's NBU and NPI applications on Windows computers when installing large (over 100K Newton packages). If you wish to install a large Newton package directly onto a Flash Memory card, the Newton Backup Utility or the Newton Package Installer is very likely to fail. You should, instead, copy the package (such as the main ExpensePlus package) to your MessagePad's internal memory first, then copy that package to your Flash memory card. This problem does not occur with small packages, or installing onto static RAM cards, or when using a Macintosh.
