Cliplay
Version 1.00a · Hiroyuki Sekiya
Description
Cliplay is a playback program for sound data, to be used in combination with the Database, with the same style as MAPPOT does for graphic data. It directly plays sound data copied to the clipboard, or indirectly from a file specified in the clipboard. Originally part of the software collection sold with the "HP200LX Software Bible" co-authored by Hiroyuki Sekiya and Hirotaka Hamada, published by Softbank, Tokyo, in April 1996 (ISBN4-89052-911-X). Now released as copyrighted freeware.

Steps
- Copy CLIPLAY.EXM, CB2SND.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\CLIPLAY.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
[3] Installation
Add this program to AppManager or MoreEXM. You can use any
start key. My recommendation is [Alt]+(any numeric key), not
used by other applications. Let us assume that [Alt]+[8] is
assigned.
Cliplay displays a music note in the center of the screen to
indicate that the sound playback is on. Since a blank
background in this case is not very attractive, you may want
to activate 'suppress clear-screen' option of MoreEXM. Add
the following line to MOREEXM.INI:
a:\bin\cliplay.exm,7F00,1,Cliplay
where '7F00' is a key code for [ALT]+[8] as its start key and
'1' is 'suppress clear-screen' option.

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.
Your browser cannot talk to the serial port. Direct sending uses the Web Serial API, which only exists in Chrome, Edge and Opera on desktop — not in Firefox, Safari or any mobile browser.
Download the file with the button above and copy it to the palmtop your usual way.
