Steps
- 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).
- 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.
