- Download BankPlus.
- Go to the Download
page and select the appropriate file to download. Click on this file,
and your web browser should ask you to download it to a particular folder.
- Unzip BankPlus.
- Find the file that
you have just downloaded. If you don't know which folder your PC has downloaded
it into, do a 'Find File' and search for "bankp".
- The file is in
ZIP format,which means that it is compressed. This is the standard way
of distributing software over the Internet. To get to the program, you
need to "unzip" it. If you're a PC user, the best program to
use is probably WinZip. Click here to go to the WinZip
Website.
- Once unzipped,
you should have a file called bankplus.sis - this is the installation
file.
- Install BankPlus
- Connect your EPOC
machine to your PC with the PsiWin lead
- On your PC, double-click
on the bankplus.sis file. This will start the Epoc Install program, which
will copy the required files to your Psion.
- Click on your Psion's
Extras button, you should see a new icon, "BankPlus". Tap on
this to start the program.
If you do not have access to a PC with PsiWin, you may need to install
a program called instexe.exe (supplied by Psion) onto your Series 5/5mx/Revo.
Copy this file onto your Psion machine, and then select and run this file
to install support for SIS files (the format used for software distribution)
on your machine. You can then copy the bankplus.sis file onto your Psion and
install BankPlus by double-tapping. The instexe file can be downloaded
by clicking here, from Psion,
or on the Palmtop Magazine CD.
