How to install it

What to send to the palmtop saves 40.0 KB

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

  • CMCALC.EXM → A:\SOFT aplicación del System Manager 32.7 KB
  • CMCALC.ICN → A:\SOFT icono, junto a su aplicación 200 B

No need to put Cmcalc.txt: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 40.0 KB on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy CMCALC.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\CMCALC.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.
  3. 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.

The author's instructions
---  Installing CMCalc  ---

---  Step 1: Load the files  ---

Copy the following files to your HP-200LX (They must both be
copied to the same subdirectory):

      cmcalc.exm
      cmcalc.icn

---  Step 2: Define CMCalc to Application Manager  ---

Start the 'MORE' application (also known as 'Application
Manager') by pressing the [&...] key. Press [F2] (Add), and
enter the following values:

      Name:    CMCalc
      Path:    (drive):\(subdirectory)\CMCALC.EXM
      Comment:

In the Path field, (drive) and (subdirectory) should be replaced
with the drive letter (a or c) and the subdirectory to which you
copied the CMCalc files.

Now tab to the Icon field, and the CMCalc icon should appear.
If it does not, press the down-arrow key until you see the
CMCalc icon.

Press F10 (OK).

Now press the key-combination you want to use as the hot-key for
CMCalc (I use Alt+Calc; if you want to use something else, the
dialog which is displayed at this point describes what your
options are).

---  Step 3: Start CMCalc  ---

Back at the Application Manager screen, highlight the CMCalc
icon and press Enter. To end CMCalc, press MENU, Q.

---  Step 4: Registering CMCalc ----

CMCalc requires registration data before all of the functions
are available: an unregistered copy of CMCalc does not allow
use of the Number Format or Display Format dialogs. In order
to register a copy of CMCalc, you must have a registration ID.
Instructions for obtaining a registration ID given at the end
of this file.


---  Using CMCalc  ---

To start CMCalc once it has been installed, hold down the ALT
key and press the HP CALC key (or whatever key you made the
hot-key during the installation process).  To quit CMCalc, press
MENU, Q(uit).  CMCalc uses the HP 200 calculator paradigm, so if

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.
