Tiny Sheet for PalmPilot version

Instructions for Use- 

For use on the TinySheet, I have separated the Standard Entry and Design by Mass spreadsheets.  They are supplied as 2 tab-separated text files.  To install, follow the normal procedure for hot-syncing into your notepad. This may vary based on the programs you use, but should be fairly straight-forward.  

From this point open Tinysheet on your palmPilot and create a new spreadsheet.  Choose 'Import' from the file menu.  Select the design sheet you want from the list of memos listed.  

IMPORTANT
Be careful to never modify the original text version of the sheet in your memopad, as it will serve as your template.  You can of course have several spreadsheets based off the original, and even modify the spreadsheet.

If you wish to modify the spreadsheet to include custom systems, etc. please be aware that TinySheet, in the latest incarnation I have seen, is version .71 software.  It is not entirely robust.  I have found that it is easy to crash Tinysheet by trying to refer to too many cells that come later (further down) the page.  This is why I have placed the totals at the bottom of the page. A crash like this will require a soft reset to recover, at which point you should delete the offending sheet (WITHOUT opening it - it will crash again!). That being said, Tiny sheet appears to be a quite well written app that has caused no other problems, provided I take into consideration its limits.
