Download 8.2 KB

Description

MF (for MEMO FILE) is a tiny utility that can pass the name of the file last edited with MEMO to a DOS program. This can be handy for DOS spellcheckers, formatters, fax programs etc., that normally don't have access to this information. How to use: Simply prefix the command that you would use to call your DOS program with MF, and use \m for the name of the MEMO file.

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.
