This collection of utilities allows an AlphaSmart Dana to be used without a digitizer installed.

To use:

• Unzip archive to an SD card.
• Insert the card into slot 1 after a hard reset to bypass the digitizer calibration.
• Run the "MyInstall" app from the SD card to copy PointerHack and YAHM to the Dana.
• Run the "YAHM" app and choose "OK" to activate the hacks.

Optional:

• Press the backslash key "\" to show the pointer. Move it using the arrow keys (or using fine-tuned movement noted in the PointerHack README) over the "+" control for PointerHack and press SPACE to tap the control.
• Select the "Tune" button (using the pointer or FUNCTION-TAB and FUNCTION-ENTER) to fine-tune PointerHack to your Dana's screen. You can also change the activation key if you dislike using "\".
