Description

Here is a new version, DP26A. It includes file DP26A.EXE (which should be renamed to DP.EXE when you install it,) DP.SYS, DATA.MSG DPEXP.COM, DPIMP.COM, and STE-MGR.COM. I believe these are now all synchronized for features. This new version of DP includes a fix for the bug in DP255E and two new functions, LOWER.CASE[arg] and ICAPS[arg]. (This last function capitalizes the first letter of each word.) DPEXP and DPIMP both have a new command line flag /Q which stands for "quick." The displayed text is markedly shorter, which increases the speed dramatically on today's newer machines.

Description extracted automatically from the documentation inside the package: this entry was not in the original catalogue.

Send to my palmtop

The palmtop must be waiting before you press the button, or the transfer will fail. It is the palmtop that announces it is ready, not the other way round.
