Autocorrect: Modify the Treo's automatic string replacement behavior (not condoned by PalmOne).

By default, our Treos will attempt to "autocorrect" various strings in most all text fields. For example, while typing a memo, if you enter "beleive ", it will replace it with "believe ". This a great feature if you are using English, but not very useful for other languages. In fact, it can be detrimental if a legitimate word in your language is forcibly replaced by something else. A common example is lower case "i" replaced by upper case "I".

The modified overlays provided in this ZIP file allow you to directly use "i ", "hel " or "wel " without having to fight the autocorrect feature. No permanent change is made and uninstalling is as simple as deleting the file then soft resetting.

You can choose one of two possible overlays for each Treo model:

* only disable the "hel-->he'll", "i-->I" and "wel-->we'll" replacements.
* disable ALL autocorrect functions (no replacement will take place).

Additionally, a special Norwegian version for GSM phones optimizes the order of the "Alt-a/Alt-A" and "Alt-o/Alt-O" special characters.

Note: Make sure to select the file appropriate for your configuration. See the enclosed documentation for details.
