B. About this Manual

1. It's in the Software

The first thing you should know about this manual is that a good deal of it is actually in ittyMIDI Player:

In Screen Help

Under the for popup windows

Under each unique item on the screen using our special Help Mode

So, why a manual at all? There is some more technical information here for advanced users as well as some additional help for beginners (like this section) that would have been too much to fit into the software. We also wanted to make a manual available on the web site so you could make an informed purchase.

2. It's a book. It's a web page. It's a web book.

Next, a bit about the organization of the manual.

On the one hand, the manual is designed to read straight through like a print manual. In fact, if you would like to print it, just start on the table of contents, print it, click on NEXT PAGE, print it, click on NEXT PAGE, etc.

On the other hand it is a Hypertext document which makes jumping to internal and web references easy. It also allows us to offer updated versions of the manual on the web page. It can be found at http://www.ittymidi.com/support/manual/index.htm

3. It's better if you know Palm OS®

If you already know how to use a Palm OS® device, you might want to skip right to the Quick Start and just explore the program yourself. All the help most users will need is already in the software.

If this is the first time you've used a Palm OS® device, we advise you take some time to get familiar with it. Read the manual that came with it. Learn how to write with Graffiti. You'll be glad you did. It is a powerful tool. Knowing Palm OS® will also give you a better understanding of this manual.

If you just can't wait to get started, we have a section for the non-Palm OS® user. See Section III.A: Getting Around.
