How to install Natara Bonsai.

 

Palm OS Application Only

 

Download and extract the distribution files for the Bonsai Palm OS application to a temporary directory. Double-click on the file Bonsai.PRC to run the Palm Install Tool or the Palm Quick Install to queue the application for installation to your handheld. The Bonsai application will be installed during the next synchronization.

 

 

Windows Desktop Application Only

 

Download and extract the distribution files to a temporary directory. Run the setup.exe (or run the self-extracting download) and an InstallShield application will guide you through the installation process. When the setup completes, double-click on the Bonsai icon on the Windows desktop to launch Bonsai.

 

 

Windows Desktop with Palm OS Applications

 

Follow the instructions for installing the Bonsai Windows applications. During the setup you will be asked to identify the handhelds to install Bonsai on. Perform these steps after installing to create and synchronize your first outline.

 

Start Bonsai by double-clicking the Bonsai icon on your Windows desktop.  Bonsai opens a blank outline.
Type in an outline.
Save your outline using the Save command on the File Menu.  The name you give the file will be used as the name of the outline on your Palm device.
Respond 'Yes' when prompted if you want to synchronize this outline.
Perform a synchronization to install the Bonsai application on your Palm OS device.
Perform a second synchronization.  The Bonsai conduit will be run since the Bonsai application was found on your Palm device.
Tap on the Bonsai icon on the applications screen.
Tap on the outline name, and tap open to view your outline.

 

 

The license agreement allows you to evaluate Bonsai for 30 days before purchase.  A registration code is required to continue using Bonsai after 30 days of use.
