How to install it

What to send to the palmtop saves 6.3 KB

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

  • CLOCK.COM → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 40.8 KB

No need to put BESTMENU.DOC: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 6.3 KB on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy CLOCK.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.

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
install  your  mouse,  tell  BestMenu about it and click your way
through your menu system.





* The World Time Clock....

As an extra touch, BestMenu will transform your  screen  into  an
analog  World  Time  Clock.    The times in four different cities
around the world are displayed in addition  to  the  local  time.
The  clock  will  pop up after you leave your keyboard unattended
for a few minutes.  The exact time lapse can be set by you.   Our
clock  brings life and purpose to computers momentarily not being
used.  The Clock can be turned off and in this case  your  screen
will automatically be blanked.





* The Wizard Of DOS....

Our user's manual actually comes in two volumes.  The first is  a
quick  but  detailed  explanation  of  all  BestMenu features and
utility programs, including a 25 page tutorial.  Volume Two is  a
rich  and intensive guide to the MS DOS operating system and hard
disk organization.  We believe it will do wonders  for  you.   We
call it - THE WIZARD OF DOS.  This set of books contains valuable
information, and goes far beyond telling how to use the  BestMenu
programs.




* Password Protection....

BestMenu comes with PASSWORD.EXE, a password utility program that
alows  you  to  set  who-runs-what  in  your  hard  disk  system.
PASSWORD is not memory resident and will never lock the system as
some  of the fancier password programs do.  PASSWORD is extremely
easy to use.




* And More....

There is  much  more  to  BestMenu.   A  Disk  Swapping  Utility,
Parallel  port  reassignment  and System Boot Utility, are only a
few of the many things that you get with BestMenu.





* System Requirements....

BestMenu will run on all IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2 and true compatible
computers   using   PC-DOS  or  MS-DOS  2.0  and  above.   It  is

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.
