How to install it

What to send to the palmtop saves 449 B

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

  • AV12B.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 42.4 KB
  • AV12C.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 36.3 KB
  • BRUN45.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 75.6 KB
  • AV12D.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 43.6 KB
  • AV12F.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 44.9 KB
  • AV12G.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 35.6 KB
  • MENU.DAT → A:\_DAT configuración 20 B
  • AUTO.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 82.8 KB
  • AV12E.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 44.1 KB

No need to put FILE_ID.DIZ, README.1ST: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 449 B on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy AV12B.EXE, AV12C.EXE, BRUN45.EXE, AV12D.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.
  2. Copy MENU.DAT to A:\_DAT, where the 200LX looks for configuration. Open it with Memo and adjust it before use.
  3. 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.

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.

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.
