How to install it

What to send to the palmtop saves 22.2 KB

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

  • M.BAT → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 83 B
  • 200.COM → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 92 B
  • 200MNU.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 52.9 KB
  • M.ICN → A:\SOFT icono, junto a su aplicación 200 B
  • MAXDOS.ICN → A:\SOFT icono, junto a su aplicación 200 B
  • 200MNU.INI → A:\_DAT configuración 1.3 KB

No need to put 200MNU.DOC: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 22.2 KB on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy M.BAT, 200.COM, 200MNU.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 200MNU.INI 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.
  4. The .ICN files are icons: they go in the same folder as their application.

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.

   v1.1 - First release 18/1/97

   v1.0 - I almost released this version. I'm glad I didn't - massive bugs

   I have tested the program on my Hp200 which has bios version 1.02a. I have
   received reports that on some versions of the Hp100, the blue keys will
   not get you directly into the application you press but just into System
   Manager.

   I have tested the program with MaxDos version 0.3.7 without problems.

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.
