How to install it

What to send to the palmtop saves 2.6 KB

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

  • CLIPBAT.EXM → A:\SOFT aplicación del System Manager 5.3 KB
  • CLIPBAT.ICN → A:\SOFT icono, junto a su aplicación 200 B
  • CLIPBAT.ENV → A:\_DAT configuración 51 B
  • BATTAKER.NDB → A:\DATOS fichero de datos 4.3 KB
  • CHD.COM → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 5.9 KB

No need to put CLIPBAT.DOC: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 2.6 KB on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy CLIPBAT.EXM to A:\SOFT. It is a System Manager application: register it in App Manager with F2 (Add), giving the full path (for example A:\SOFT\CLIPBAT.EXM).
  2. The 200LX takes 8 EXM applications at most. Check with F8 (List) in App Manager: an asterisk in the Status column means the quota is full and you will need MoreEXM.
  3. Copy CHD.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.
  4. Copy CLIPBAT.ENV to A:\_DAT, where the 200LX looks for configuration. Open it with Memo and adjust it before use.
  5. If you edit a configuration file on the palmtop, make sure you leave a newline at the end: some programs swallow the last line without saying a word.
  6. The .ICN files are icons: they go in the same folder as their application.
  7. Data files are opened from their own application, not installed separately.

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
[Installation]
  1. Copy CLIPBAT.ENV to A:\_DAT or C:\_DAT and customize it to
     your needs.  Initialization commands should match your
     environment.

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.
