HS2Utils for Windows
Version 0.0.00 -- beta.
(c) 2006, rMOBILE
www.rmobile.ca

Overview================================================================

HS2Utils for Windows is a PC application that allows you to edit your 
HandyShopper lists on your desktop.  The database structures for 
HandyShopper on PalmOS (HS2) and WinMobile (HS3) are identical, so 
HS2Utils for Windows should work for the lists from either handheld
version of HandyShopper.

Do not confuse this application with HS2Utils, which is a PalmOS 
application that allows you to manipulate HandyShopper lists on your
handheld device.

HS2Utils for Windows is a standalone application, that does not require
Excel (as does HS2Edit) nor HS2Convert.exe.

HS2Utils will not work on MacOS, unless it can be run under a PC
emulator.

General guidelines======================================================

You can run this application from any folder on your PC.

I would suggest copying some of your HS lists into a temp location, and 
using the "Save as..." command to create new lists from them.  That way, 
if you suspect that something is not working right, you can use 
HandyShopper to check both the old and new versions.

Note that upon first running the application you will be presented with 
a "trial period" message.  After the trial period has expired, you will
need to purchase a registration code from the author by sending a $5US
PayPal payment to 'sales@rmobile.ca'.  Further details can be obtained
by contacting 'support@rmobile.ca'.

Operational notes=======================================================

1. Menu>Options>Preferences allows you to turn on debugging messages. 
This will not be needed unless you are troubleshooting a specific
bug with the developer of HS2UtilsWin.  Usually, there will not be any
embedded debugging codes in the application, so this setting will have
no effect.
2. Menu>Help>Help is not functional at this point.
3. You can edit a text field by simply starting to type, by double-click, 
or with F2 key.
4. Priority and Category columns have popup selection menus.
5. Tap on button above vertical scroll bar to open store list.  Can also 
be accessed by menu.
6. Cat and Store popup boxes are not labelled.  I trust you'll be able 
to figure out which is which.
7. Columns can be resized.  Drag bar to the right of the column label.
8. Data can be sorted ascending or descending.  Right-click on column 
label.  "Filter" doesn't work yet.
9. Rows can be cut/paste/inserted.  Right click on row label.
10. Lots of legacy HS2Edit functions have yet to be implemented.  Custom 
aisle orders, list merging, etc.
11. No provision has been added yet to manipulate database settings (col 
widths/visibility, sort orders, etc.)
