Artelope V Conduit

by Josh Goldfoot. Copyright © 2003 Josh Goldfoot.

Quick setup instructions

First, install the conduit by double-clicking "Setup.exe."

Second, HotSync.

Third, find the files. The files will be in a directory called "Artelope V files," located in your "My Documents" directory. If you can't find it, search your system for folders named "Artelope V files."

Fourth, open the files. They are in Scalable Vector Graphics format. If they don't open naturally in Internet Explorer, download and install the Adobe SVG Viewer.

Functionality

Whenever you HotSync, the Artelope V Conduit will download all pages in Artelope V and store them as separate Scalable Vector Graphics ("SVG") files in a folder in your Palm directory.

The conduit works in Handheld-to-desktop mode only. It will overwrite old files.

Currently it is not possible to send SVG files from the desktop to the handheld.

About Scalable Vector Graphics

Scalable Vector Graphics is a language for describing two-dimensional vector graphics in XML. Many popular graphics programs, including Adobe Illustrator, let you view and edit SVG files. If you do not have a program that lets you view an SVG file, you can download one for free from the Adobe SVG Zone.

The Artelope V Conduit generates SVG code that conforms with the W3C's Scalable Vector Graphics specification.

Uninstalling

To uninstall, run Setup.exe a second time.

Past versions

The Artelope V Conduit works only with Artelope V. If you have a different version of Artelope, such as 2.2, HE, or HD, you need a conduit designed specifically for those platforms.
