This chapter contains installation and usage guide for FreeCoins, together with a brief introduction to the accounting concepts behind FreeCoins. Please refer to the full manual (Chapter 2, Reference to FreeCoins) for detailed usage instructions.
FreeCoins will only work on PalmOS 3.5 and later. There are no plans at the moment to support earlier versions of PalmOS as the differences between them are too big. If you are interested in adding support for earlier versions of PalmOS you need to read the PalmOS Reference manual (compatibility guide) available from the PalmOS website.
For information on how to install FreeCoins from source refer to Chapter 4, Developer information.
There are several FreeCoins binaries, for different languages. Pick the binary with the right language code for you (for example FreeCoins-en.prc for the English language) to your Palm/emulator in the usual way. You are now ready to use the program. Note that you have to either install the currency database sample_currencies.pdb and select a default currency or start FreeCoins and create a currency yourself and select it as default. This is needed for proper operation of FreeCoins.
