Steps

      INTRODUCTION

      This documentation (along with the Registration and Order Form)
      may be printed in its entirety by executing the PRINTDOC.BAT file
      contained in this .ARC

      BATMAST.EXE allows you to incorporate all your .BAT (batch)
      files into one master file (MASTER.BAT).

      This process not only provides for an organized method of
      maintaining these commands in a single text (.BAT) file,
      but saves a surprising amount of disk space, since DOS
      allocates an entire cluster for each .BAT file containing
      fewer than that number of bytes.  In other words, if your
      system has clusters 2K in size, an 80 byte .BAT file would
      consume 2K of disk space.  Don't be misled by the file size
      displayed when you issue a DIR command.  The more .BAT files
      you incorporate into MASTER.BAT, the more disk space recovered.


      USER SUPPORTED SOFTWARE

       The Shareware concept allows software to be market and distributed
       without passing on the enormous expense usually associated with
       conventional marketing channels to the end user.  At the same time,
       you, the end user, have the opportunity to evaluate the software
       in the comfort of your own home or office BEFORE YOU PURCHASE IT.

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.
