How to install it

What to send to the palmtop saves 10.0 KB

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

  • BIGTIME.EXM → A:\SOFT aplicación del System Manager 2.1 KB

No need to put BIGTIME.TXT: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 10.0 KB on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy BIGTIME.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\BIGTIME.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.

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 )--
After copying the program files to your HP 95, you have to let the
computer know about the applications, and what hotkey you would like
to use to start the programs. We do that in a standard text file
named APNAME.LST. The file must be in the _DAT directory. The
complete path is:

 C:\_DAT\APNAME.LST

You can edit this file with Memo. LetÆs see how to give BigTime its
own hotkey. The program file name for BigTime is BIGTIME.EXM. If you
would like to assign the program to ALT+APPT (a natural choice: itÆs
the clock symbol key), the keycode is B300. Assuming BIGTIME.EXM is in
the root directory of the C: drive, the line you would add to
APNAME.LST looks like:

 C:\BIGTIME.EXM,B300,BigTime

All three fields are required, and each must be separated by a comma.

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.
