DOSGUI

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

• GUI.BAT → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 71 B
• DOSGUI.INI → A:\_DAT configuración 194 B
• DOSGUI.BAT → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 91 B
• DOSGUI.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 58.8 KB

No need to put DOSGUI.DOC, DOSGUI.SET: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 10.9 KB on a 1 MB disk.

1. Copy GUI.BAT, DOSGUI.BAT, DOSGUI.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 DOSGUI.INI 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.

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.

Installing DOS GUI

Create a new directory in the C drive root directory called DOSGUI - DO NOT use
any other name!

Simply place the contents of DOSGUI.ZIP in to C:\DOSGUI.

Using a text editor add C:\DOSGUI to your path statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
file and re-boot the palmtop (CTRL-ALT-DEL).

** If you do not have an AUTOEXEC.BAT file then copy the one found on the
   built-in D drive to the C drive and amend that.

If you are using a HP 100/200lx make sure System Manager has been terminated
(&... M ENTER T ENTER) and you are in DOS.

From the DOS prompt type GUI then press ENTER. With a bit of luck DOS GUI will
startup.
