I'm not a IT person and am having some trouble understanding how to install the add on? I have a HP h4350 PPC and first I am not sure if one the the CAb files you have supports my device. Second how would I install it? All I need on my device is the cab file? What about the rest of the files in the zip folder?


Thanks for your time and help. I'm very interested in what you've created.

Most of the files in the zip are for development (source).

I think the file you need is BeyondPPC_PPC.ARM.CAB in the BeyondPPC\BeyondPPC\cab\Debug folder.

Open ActiveSynch, click explore and copy the above file to you PocketPC.
Then on the PocketPC, click start --> Program --> File Explorer.
Find the CAB file you copied (it won't show the .cab portion of the name). Click the file and the program will be installed.

Follow the additional instruction in my description above to set you configuration options. If you have any more questions, feel free to post them here.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I forgot to subscribe to the new thread.

I have a Dell Axim X51v with an Intel PXA270 processor. Which cab file would I use?

[gjunky]

Try the BeyondPPC_PPC.ARM.CAB file.
