Description

The HP Palmtop Paper AMP 3.0 is a symbolic calculation tool for students, teachers, and professionals in engineering or mathematical sciences. AMP allows the user to edit and simplify numerous expressions or equations in a mathematical derivation quickly and accurately. AMP functions in an interpreter mode and program mode. In the interpreter mode you may manipulate up to 128 expressions, equations or inequalities. In the program mode you have access to a combination screen editor and compiler so that you may define procedures using the same type statements that you use in the interpreter mode.

How to install it

What to send to the palmtop saves 572.8 KB

These are the files you need. You can send them from the package contents below.

  • AMP.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 74.5 KB

No need to put AMP00.OVL, AMP01.OVL, AMP02.OVL, AMP03.OVL, AMP04.OVL, AMP05.OVL, AMP06.OVL, AMP07.OVL and 4 more: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 572.8 KB on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy AMP.EXE to A:\SOFT. They are DOS programs: run them from the DOS icon, or add A:\SOFT to the PATH in C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT to call them by name.

Derived from the package contents and the 200LX conventions. It installs to A: on purpose: C: is a RAM disk and every byte there is memory taken from the system.

The author's instructions 
installing the  program on  a hard  disk.   Chapter III,  Getting
          Started,  chapter IV, Structure and chapter  V, Tutorial, give an
          introduction on how to use the AMP interpreter to solve problems.
          You should go through these chapters in detail.
               Once you  have gone through  the tutorial you  should browse
          though Chapters  VI  and become  familiar with  the command  set.
          Chapter  VII  describes  detailed  instructions for  constructing
          procedures.  Chapter  VIII gives the  rules for than AMP  follows
          when it performs computations using relations.
