Flamingo for Windows Pocket PC computers

1.0 Downloading the Flamingo files

The Flamingo download consists of a single executable file named Install_Flamingo_PPC.exe or Install_Flamingo_PPC.cab (0.4 MB).

Flamingo uses the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework and the framework files need to be installed on the Pocket PC. If your Pocket PC does not already have the files installed, they should be downloaded and installed prior to running Flamingo.

Flamingo may be downloaded as an .EXE file to a PC and executed to launch ActiveSync, or as a .CAB file directly to a Pocket PC (or transferred from a PC) and opened on the device.

2.0 Downloading Flamingo help files

Online help is included with the Flamingo installation file and will be installed on the device. The help file can also be downloaded in HtmlHelp (chm) format to run on a Windows PC, or Acrobat (pdf) format.
