How to install it

What to send to the palmtop saves 9.8 KB

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

  • LXDICT.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 549.7 KB
  • dict.exe → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 2.4 MB
  • wizard.exe → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 848.6 KB

No need to put wizard.pl, dict_lx.txt: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 9.8 KB on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy LXDICT.EXE, dict.exe, wizard.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.

The author's instructions 
a) Run the installation dict_swe.exe and install it on your
desktop.

b) In DOS, go into the directory where DICT/Console is installed,
and type: perl wizard.pl <the directory where you installed the
dictionaries> For example, if you installed the dictionary on
c:\dictionary, type perl wizard.pl c:\dictionary

c) If the wizard found the directory, you will be presented with a
list of dictionaries installed. For example

Literal excerpt from dict_lx.txt, exactly as it came in the package.

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.
