QuizApp Installation Guide

Adding software to your Palm device can seem a little cumbersome at first, but is quite straight-forward once you get the hang of it. These simple instructions will guide you through the process and get you up and running in no time.

This installation guide consists of the following sections:

• Downloading QuizApp and QuizApp Modules
• Decompressing QuizApp and QuizApp Modules
• Installing QuizApp and QuizApp Modules

Once you are ready to download QuizApp or a new QuizApp Module, the first step in the process is to download the file to your local computer. You begin this by clicking on any of the download links on our site. To download QuizApp, check out our Download Page, click here. To download from a QuizApp Module, click here to check out our QuizApp Module Library.	Figure 1: File Download Box

Figure 2: Unknown File Type Box	Once you have clicked on a link to download QuizApp, a pop-up box will appear notifying you that you have started the file download process. This box will either be titled 'File Download' (Figure 1) or 'Unknown File Type' (Figure 2). Depending on the box that appears, click either the 'OK' button or the 'Save File' button to proceed with the download process.

A box will now appear asking you where you want to save the file you are about to download (Figure 3). In this case, we have chosen to save the file in a folder called 'Palm'. You can save your file anywhere on your computer you wish, but remember where you saved it. As we recommended at the beginning of the guide, it is best to create a folder on your hard drive where you will keep all of your downloaded files. This will keep your file directory uncluttered and you will always know where to look for anything you have downloaded.

At this point, you should also make a note of what it says in the 'Save as type' box at the bottom of this box. If you are download QuizApp itself, the file will be called quizapp.zip, but if you are downloading a module from our Module Library, the filenames vary significatnly (in this example the type is a PKZIP File). This will come in handy a little later when you need to determine what step to take next.

Once you have chosen the directory where you would like to store the file you are going to download, click the 'Save' button. This will initiate the actual download of the file. A box will appear on your screen that will show the status of the download (Figure 4). Once the blue bar has moved all the way to the right, the download will be complete and this box will disappear.

You have now completed the transfer of the file from the Internet to your local computer and are ready to proceed to the next step of the process - decompressing the file.
