PALMOS INSTALLATION FROM A WINDOWS ZIP FILE:
Open the install Zip file using your unzip tool and double-click just the 
Install_Hearts.prc to have HotSync store it on your Palm device.  Then connect
your Palm handheld and perform a HotSync to start playing!

MANUAL INSTALLATION FOR LOW-MEMORY DEVICES:
If you are unable to run the single-file installer PRC (which extracts the 
game and Booster on your Palm) due to low memory on your device, you can still
install the game if you have 800k free.  To do this, delete the Install PRC if
it is still on your device and then double-click *ALL* of the PRC files located
in the Zip file's ManualInstall subdirectory and then perform a HotSync. 

SUPPORT FOR EXTERNAL MEMORY CARDS AND ROM:
You can install our game installer PRC to an external memory card or ROM, but
when you expand it, it will go into main system memory.  If you want to move 
the game to a memory card, please visit http://dq.com/faq_ph.html#card

PALMOS UNINSTALL:
Select Delete under the application menu and select Championship Hearts.
If you are uninstalling all of our games or other programs using AppForge,
you can also Delete the AppForge Booster after uninstalling our games.

SPECIAL NOTE TO SONY CLIE OWNERS
The Sony Clie 'HiResolution Assist' feature does not work correctly with our
game and will cause our game to come up in only 1/4 of the screen.  You will 
need to either disable this feature under the System/Preference group under 
'HiRes' entirely or select our game from the list on that page to specifically
disable 'Assist' for our game.  Once you do this, the game will go full-screen.
