they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 1.1 MB on a 1 MB disk.
Steps
- Copy UNWISE32.EXE, 4DOS.COM, 4HELP.EXE, BATCOMP.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.
- Copy FILE0008.DAT, FILE0001.DAT, FILE0002.DAT, FILE0003.DAT, FILE0004.DAT, FILE0005.DAT, FILE0006.DAT, FILE0007.DAT to A:\_DAT, where the 200LX looks for configuration. Open it with Memo and adjust it before use.
- 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.
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.

INSTALLATION NOTES
4DOS is distributed as an EXE file which installs 4DOS when run. The
EXE file is "ZIP-compatible" (i.e., it can also be read as .ZIP files).
If you have unzipped a distribution .EXE file yourself, or are using
a CD copy, and prefer to perform the installation manually, see the
Introduction and Installation Guide in the file INTRO.TXT. The
detailed instructions for 4DOS are in Chapter 5.
If you unzip the distribution EXE file manually, you will find many \
extra files which are used by the installer and are not part of the
product itself. You can use a command similar to the following in the
product directory to get rid of the extra files (this assumes you have
not installed other non-JP Software files in the product directory
which this command would delete):
*del /qe *.dat p*.dll *wise*.*
If you are installing 4DOS under plain DOS (without Windows 9x/ME)
you MUST use manual installation, as the automated installer is
Windows-based.
When installing 4DOS under Windows 95/98 we recommend that you do NOT
use a "long" directory name. If you do, you will have to know and use
the equivalent short name to load 4DOS in CONFIG.SYS; it's easier to
simply use a short name from the beginning. (This is not a 4DOS
limitation. It's because DOS, which starts before Windows 95/98 and
loads the primary command processor, cannot handle long file names.
While 4DOS fully supports long file names, to make DOS work well it
is best to install 4DOS in a directory with a short name.)

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.
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.
