After starting personaware (say, after booting the PC110 from the internal flash-disk), use the mouse or cursor buttons to select an application and press Enter. Exit an app. with F12. In the most app. you'll come back at the same page the next time you start it. You can copy&insert text with ctrl-c/v/x (mark with shift-cursor). By pressing F1 you'll get help, of course always in Japanese, but you could see how special keys are assigned in this prg.). On the main screen you can turn on/off the button bar with F12 or pressing the mousebutton in the right bottom corner. The icons are generally easy to understand.

You can change each icon, picture, description from the main screen, you can also add and delete applications or move their position. It's possible to have more appl. installed than you can see on the screen (scroll with cursor or F7/F8).

F4:  Change the selected application. A requester is popped up where you
     can enter the following: (C)=Description (shown under the clock),
     (B)=button-text, (E)="program.exe" executable, (I)=filename of the
     icon, (P)=filename of the picture. Bottom buttons: Ok, Cancel, Help
F11: Tools-Menu: (S)=Settings, first field: what should be done if a RING
     occures on the internal modem (fax/?/nothing), the second field is
     called alarm in the documentation and in the third I think you could
     specify the time the PC110 should wake up.
     (P)=Program settings, (1)/(2) one-click/doubleclick to start prg.
     (X)=Exchange title&button names
     (B)=bubble-help on/off
     Tools-F11 (big field) will exit personaware and turn off the PC110.

The icons are OS/2-icons, I found no programme for dos/win yet to convert or edit them.

All pictures&icons are located in \pw\system\, where also exist some more icons and bmp-files used by the applications. For example, I've created a new background and new button-images and enhanced some other things.

In \pw\data\ you'll find all files used by the applications: datafiles (schedule/address/..), .ini-files and so on. You'd like to have a look at some of the .ini-files, but it's most useless...

F2:  add entry: Description, secret, start time, start date, end time,
     end date, place, alarm on/off (x minutes before), note
F3:  abort edit
F4:  save new entry
F8:  repeat: P=Period (from date - to date, every X days/weeks/...)
             d=daily, w=weekly (monday, tuesday, ... sunday)
             m=monthly: per day, per .. weekday (? .. japanese ..)
             y=yearly
F3:  delete entry (if you delete a repeated entry, press Y to delete only
     this and N to delete all (after the first ok/return to delete)
F5:  search
F6:  switch to another view. Press d/w/m/h/l to jump "fast" to a view.
     (day/week/month/year/list)
F7:  go to ..., opens a small calendar.
F8:  go to today and now
F9:  zoom in/out (change font size)
F10: switch to to-do-list
F11: tools: (F)=file: O=open, S=save(?), D=delete
            (S)=secret area (-> enter password)
            (P)=print
            (R)=printer settings (IBM or ESC/P)
            (T)=settings: default entry duration (60/30/15 minutes)
                (E)=don't display time in day-view (if selected)
            (H)=special days which are on the same day every year: A=Add,
                E=Erase. D=month/day, N=name of the day (holidays)
                they're marked as "red" but their name isn't listed in
                any of the views
            (Y)=(It seems you can give names to a period of years here)
F12: save&exit to main screen
d:   day-view
w:   week-view (left=sunday, right=saturday)
m:   month-view (left=sunday, right=saturday)
h:   half-year-view
l:   list-view
enter: change selected entry (look at "F2" for further information)

If you'd view at the DEFAULT.SCD-file, you'd see the format of the file in the first line: date,time,to date,to time,subject,place,alarm,alarm lead time,repeat,repeat,every,start date,end date,note

ToDo List. Sorry, as I don't needed this yet, I cannot say anything. However, from the DEFAULT.TDD-file: date,to date,subject,category,priority,done,done date,note

Notebook. Not many differences to the "main" operation things, buttons&tools. Should be no problem to check how it works.

DEFAULT.NTD calls its fields: date,time,subject,category,note

F2:  add entry: name,category,secret,"yomi" (here you HAVE to insert some
     special japanese letters),birthday,Tel1,Fax1,Zip1,Adress1,office(?),
     post(?),Tel2,Fax2,Zip2,Address2,station(?),EMail, Note.
F3:  cancel
F4:  save
F11: o: add picture to this entry (YES! You can add an 150x150 16-color
        BMP-file to each entry. Nice, eh?)
     n: no picture
F3:  delete entry
F5:  search
F6:  change view (list-view/list&entry-view)
F7:  display only entris with selected category
F9:  zoom in/out (change font-size)
F10: dial selected entry
F11: (F)=file (same function as in 'schedule')
     (S)=secret ('')
     (P)=print ('')
     (R)=printer settings ('')
     (O)=which entries should be displayd in the list-view
F12: save&exit to main screen
Ctrl/Shift-Cursor in list-view: change the size of the selected column
enter: view/change selected entry (look at "F2" for further information)

If you'd view at the DEFAULT.ADD-file, you'd see the format of the file in the first line: yomi,name,category,home tel number,home fax number,home zip,home address,birth day,office,station,post,office tel number,office fax number,office zip,office address,email,photo file name,voice file name,note1,note2,note3

This means it's only a ","-seperated list, this makes it very easy to convert to/from personaware! And no, I don't see anything about "voice file" in the application. Maybe on newer versions. And no, the birthday isn't included into the schedule automatically, but it's displayd in the "info"-field of the secretary (It's like an adventure to find out and understand everything of this programme).

E-Mail.

F3:  hang up
F4:  connect?
F5:  capture on/off
F6:  ? (dial japanese services)
F7:  download file
F8:  upload file
F9:  zoom in/out (change font size)
F11: settings: phonebook,userid,password,dial-mode,pre-number,?,?,bit,
     stopbits,parity,com1/2, transfer protocol (X/Zmodem),path,init-string

FAX.

F3:  abort
F4:  start
F5:  view fax (hm.. ?!)
F6:  normal/"service"-mode ("service" means you call a number and receive
     a fax)
F9:  choose an entry to dial from the address/phonebook
F10: choose if you'd like the fax to be text-only, text with header
     picture or text with bottom picture. Then you can edit the text and
     draw something on the memopad for example.
F11: settings: dialmode, pre/out-number (inserted before the number is
     dialed), com-port, your phone-number (I think), (your phone number
     again ?)

Faxes are sent in fine-mode with a japanese header incl. date/time/pages.

Telephone. Dials a phone number with the built in modem. If you have problems with one of the default settings, just try another one.

IR Connect. As I have no other device with infrared port, I have no experience with this part yet.

World Clock. First you should get my english "city1s.txt"-file so you can see the name of the cities in english and not in japanese. Should be installed in \pw\data\-directory. I think you cannot add cities from the worldclock-application, you have to edit this text-file directly with an editor.

F2:  add selected city. You can see max. 4 cities simultaneously.
     The symbol besides the time is daylight-saving-time on/off. You are
     then asked wether to adjust the clock +1/-1h or not.
F3:  delete selected city-view/clock. (Doesn't delete the city from the
     file)
F4:  use the selected city (from the map) as the city displayd in the
     selected clock
F5:  "what's the time in X (Y,...) if its ..:.. in the selected city".
F6:  move selected city (well, its position in the clock-line)
F7:  set alarm
F8:  unzoom & center the map to your home-town.
F9:  zoom map in/out
F11: change time and home town
F12: exit

Just a calculator. Really? No, it has more features you might have thought at the first look. Press F6 to switch through its modes: scientific, measure/weight/.. and financial.

Scientific mode: you can use "s" as sin and so on, look in the F1-help for the shortcut-keys. F9: display everything in decimal&hex-mode.

measure/weight: you can change the kind of transformation with the button-list on the left. Here's a complete list, the first number is the line-nr of the left button-list and then the bigger buttons in the mid are listed from left to right, top to bottom (you'll see the english in the display):

1: mm, ft, cm, yard, m, mile, km, <japanese>, inch, <japanese>
2: m^2, <japanese>, <japanese>, <japanese>, ha, acre, <japanese>
3: cc, gal(us), l, <japanese>, m^3, <japanese>, pint, <jap.>, quart, <jap.>
4: g, <japanese>, kg, <japanese>, t, <japanese>, oz, lb
5: degree celsius, farenheit, kelvin

financial mode: too much japanese here. Look at F1 and the documantation for the formulas used here, maybe you could check it out..

Editor. First you have to choose the file you want to edit.

F2:  Open another file
F3:  Abort
F4:  Save
F5:  Search (and replace)
F7/F8: Scroll up/down
F9:  zoom in/out (change font size)
Ctrl-F9: switch font (roman/monospaced, roman/proportional,
         helvetica/proport.)
F10: next file (if more than one are opened)
F11: Settings: (F)=foreground color, (B)=background color, (T)=font
     (roman/mono, roman, helvetica), (S)=size, (W)=wordwrap, (D)=default
F12: save&exit
Ctrl-L: change header-line (filename with/without path)
Ctrl-F: find/replace next
Ctrl-B: find/replace previous

Note that this is an ASCII-editor, that means there are no styles or fonts saved.

Draw Memo. Here you can draw on the memopad and with the mouse (hold down left button)

F2:  new memo
F3:  delete this memo
F4:  save this memo
F5:  erase/draw
F6:  erase memo
F9:  switch between draw-mode and thumbnail/index-view
F11: settings: path of memos, max. nr. of memos (6-99), small size
     (150x130)
F12: save&exit

Instructions: Clear the table. Remove the tiles by clicking the left mouse button, however you can only remove at least two of the same tiles (above/under/left/right). The more tiles you can remove at one time (they'll be highlighted when you move the mouspointer to them) the more points you'll get. F1-Help says (n-2)^2. If you remove one tiles-type completely (house/frog/orange/bird/rose) you'll get bonus points. I cleared the table two times now with about 3100 points each.

F5:  new game
F6:  undo move (-10 points)
F7:  show points for this game and highscore
F8:  "magic" (-100 points). Place this to a tile where you want a new one
     and press the mouse button. Maybe it was good, maybe it was bad. I
     think it's only useful if you've cleared the table except a few ones
     and want a entry in the highscore. Otherwise the risk&cost is too
     high...
F11: set sound on/off

This is your private area. First you have to define a password. Then you can input your private data: Name, blood (A/B/AB/0), birthday (year-m-d), secret, RH (blood/rhesus, + or -),secret, phone & address1, phone&address2, fax, mobile phone number, EMail

F8:  scrolls to the next view: insurance card,day of issue,driving
     license,vailid until,passport,valid until; card name, number,
     validity, (contact address when lost?)
F8:  again scrolls to the last view: holiday/memorial day, memo(randum),
     secret
F3:  abort
F4:  save
F5:  set/change password

The birthday you enter here is used by the secretary (F10 from the main menu) to calculate your biorhythm.

DOS. Opens a DOS-Box. It seems that it is not possible to get the alarm of a schedule-entry if you started a dos-programm or exit personaware. Enter "exit" to return to personaware.

Power MGT. Starts the PS2-programme with its user interface. This can only be used within the japanese dos-environment. You can adjust here much more than with the command-line options of PS2. For example you could define here the low/med/high-power-modes, it seems you could enter lcd&power timeout, and of course you can set everything else you could do from the commandline. I've not checked out yet how to spin-down the harddisk however. The small icon on the F12-key-label looks like it would spin down the HD too, but it seems to do nothing.

End of information from the Marko Schuster FAQ.

From the main PW screen hit F12 and select F10, this shows you your Personal Secretary.

The top half of the screen show you what you have to do today.

Top left is Schedule, top right is Information, below schedule is To Do List and to the right of that is your Biorythm for the day.

Bottom half of the screen is what is happening in the Near future.

Left hand side is Schedule, right hand-side is To Do List and Information.

Note :- Schedule is Purple
        To Do List is Blue
        Information is Green

Press F5 and you will be given a "fortune" based on your blood type.

You Get :

        Business (xxx) Money (xxx) Love (xxx)
        Luckies :---
        Lucky Number : x

F6 will display secret information

From the main screen again.

F11 brings up a Setup/Exit dialog box.

Okay, this installation works for me on one Windows 2000 installation, but not on another. However, all the componants are included to give you the potential to get Personaware working on a non-Japanese Windows machine. Not all of the PersonaWare modules work, though "Game" does (which is why I did this in the first place).

Unzip the zip file. Make sure everything lives in c:\pwe. If you want to change the location, you have to edit the file "pw.bat".

I have added DOSJ and DOSJAUX (TSR programs that add japanese DOS capabilities to normal DOS) to the PWE directory. I have also added some japanese fonts into a sub directory called "jfont". The batch file "pw.bat" sets up DOSJ with the required fonts, the DOSJAUX program for added emulation of japanese DOS and then runs PersonaWare.

This utility, though a very rough beta, will convert an Outlook comma Delimited Output file to the PersonaWare data file format.

From Outlook, export the address information as a CSV file. Just choose any defaults presented to you. Run the conversion program, it is pretty self evident. Browse for the CVS file and then hit convert. If it looks OK, click Save As...

The conversion process is controlled by a data file. This is so I can easily add different conversion processes. If you look at outlook.txt, you will see all of the fields from the outlook CSV file. I have numbered them for reference. Now, look at the Outlook.Dat file. For each PersonaWare field (0..20) they are made up of a single or list of corresponding outlook fields.

I'm explaining all this so that if you want to play with the conversion process you can.
