DBView

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

• DBV.CFG → A:\_DAT configuración 443 B
• DBV.ICN → A:\SOFT icono, junto a su aplicación 200 B
• DBV.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 53.0 KB

No need to put DBV.DOC, INT5F.ZIP: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 27.6 KB on a 1 MB disk.

1. Copy DBV.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 DBV.CFG 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.

The manual mentions these files, which are in the archive:

• INT5fh INT5F

I. Installation

 There are 5 files included in this archive:

 + DBV.DOC:   The DBView documentation.
 + DBV.EXE:   The DBView program.
 + DBV.CFG:   The DBView configuration file.
 + DBV.ICN:   The DBView icon.

 + INT5F.ZIP: Graphics emulator to enable you to run DBView
              on your desktop. Documentation for it is
              available in INT5F.ZIP


 DBView is a YAPA (Yet Another PAL Application<g>), and like
all PAL applications, it's a DOS program. Simply copy the
files of the archive in a directory of your choice. The
configuration file DBV.CFG must always reside in the same
directory as DBV.EXE.


 NOTE: DBV requires at least 130k of memory to operate.
       If you install DBV in System Manager, please remember
       to add '|130' at the end of the name. For example,
       if DBV is installed in A:\DBV, the System manager
       entry will look like this:

           a:\dbv\dbv.exe|130

       The '|130' will reserve 130k of memory for DBV. For
       more details on installing applications in System
       manager please consult your HP200LX owner's manual.


 You can also specify database filenames if you would like
to have several System Manager DBV entries (one for each
database file for example):

           a:\dbv\dbv.exe myfile.gdb|130



 Configuration:

 DBV.CFG is the configuration file of DBView. You can use
it to change some of the default parameters of DBView. At this
moment, DBV.CFG is divided into 3 sections, [options], [paths]
