Pocket Express Demo Sharing Policy
----------------------------------


A demo version of the Pocket Express Entertainment Pack Plus is available.  This is a full version of each game in the Entertainment
Pack; all game features are fully operable.  You will be allowed to play each game 10 times, after which the program will still
launch, but you will no longer be able to start a new game.  At that time or any time during the trial period you may decide to
purchase the programs.  Instructions for purchasing are included under Help:Purchase in each game.

Pocket Express encourages customers to share games in the Pocket Express Entertainment Pack with friends.  Using the Beam menu from
the Palm launcher, simply choose which game(s) you would like to beam to a friend.  Whether you have the demo version or the full
version installed on your system, only the demo version of any game will be beamed.  Please note that to beam Lode Runner: The
Legend Returns, you must first beam the program in the normal fashion from the Beam menu in the Palm launcher.  Then, launch Lode
Runner: The Legend Returns and choose the Beam command from the Game menu on the opening screen.  This feature will beam the Lode
Runner levels file.  This file contains the 150 levels (puzzles) and is needed to play the game.

Known Issues
----------------------
1.  Non-Tappable Menus with OS 3.5

Tetris Classic, PokerDice, and PocketChess do not support tappable menus with Palm OS 3.5.  In order to access in-game menus you will need to select the silkscreened Menu button.

2.  Restoring Games After a Hard Reset   

If you are using a version of Palm Desktop software prior to version 3.1 you will encounter an issue when trying to restore games after a hard reset of your handheld.  Versions of Palm Desktop software prior to 3.1 may not automatically backup all Pocket Express Entertainment Pack games.  If you have to perform a hard reset and restore your handheld software, you will need to reinstall your game .prc files separately. Your saved game states are saved in the Palm preference file so you will not lose your game data.  You will just need to reinstall the actual game .prc files since the files did not exist in your backup directory.
