ZIP.COM

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

• ZIP.ICN → A:\SOFT icono, junto a su aplicación 200 B
• ZIPSET.COM → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 3.2 KB
• ZIPDUP.COM → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 1.7 KB
• ZIP.COM → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 18.3 KB

No need to put ZIP221.NEW, FILE_ID.DIZ, ZIP.DOC: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 79.9 KB on a 1 MB disk.

1. Copy ZIPSET.COM, ZIPDUP.COM, ZIP.COM 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.
2. The .ICN files are icons: they go in the same folder as their application.

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.

(3) Install and use Mark Scardina's free ASERCTL utility, available on the
 CompuServe HPHAND forum.  It not only gives you keyboard control over serial
 port power, but also prevents interference from SYSMGR.  ZIP can then be run
 in any way you like.

     ZIPDUP is not customized for the 100/200LX; serial port power must first
 be turned on (via SETUP or SERCTL /W).  It's best to operate ZIPDUP from DOS
 alone, without SYSMGR loaded.

                                   HP 95LX

     On the 95LX, ZIP can be run in a variety of ways, including from Filer
 (highlight ZIP.COM and press F4=Run) or from the DOS system prompt.

     File transfers can fail on early versions of the 512k 95LX due to a bug
 in its serial port handling.  You can avoid this by performing a [Ctrl+Up+On]
 reset (answering "No" at the prompt, to preserve your C: drive!) before
 running ZIP, or often (for some unknown reason) by just performing a server
 Directory request with ZIP before transferring files.

     The 95LX serial port and cable don't have the additional signal lines
 that ZIPDUP requires to operate.  Instead, to transfer ZIP.COM to the 95LX,
 you must use the 95LX's internal software: either the built-in COMM utility
 together with any PC telecom program supporting XMODEM or KERMIT protocol, or
 the Connectivity Pack.
