The author's instructions
Installation:
You should have 3 ZIP files (or 1 with 3 in it):
LOGOROOT.ZIP Contains .EXE, MANUAL, DRIVERS etc.
LOGOLIB.ZIP Some nice examples.
LOGOHLP.ZIP Online help files.
Logo assumes the following structure
C:\LOGO Has LOGOROOT.ZIP files
C:\LOGO\LIB Has LOGOLIB.ZIP files
C:\LOGO\HLP Has LOGOHLP.ZIP files
The \LIB and \HLP must be in the logo ROOT directory.
But the C:\LOGO (logo root directory) can be a different
directory and device by setting the "LOGOPATH" environment
variable. For example you could do the following.
Add the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT
SET LOGOPATH=D:\KIDS\NEATLOGO
You would then have the following directories.
D:\KIDS\NEATLOGO Has LOGOROOT.ZIP files
D:\KIDS\NEATLOGO\LIB Has LOGOLIB.ZIP files
D:\KIDS\NEATLOGO\HLP Has LOGOHLP.ZIP files
Logo also assumes "edline" as the default editor.
But if you have your own favorite editor then set
the EDITOR environment variable equal to the command
to execute your editor. For example if I wanted EMACS
as my default editor I would put the following in my
autoexec.bat file.
SET EDITOR=EMACS
Supported hardware:
Logo is compiled using Turbo-C and therefore Logo supports as
many devices types as Turbo-C allows. I have tested it on CGA,
EGA,VGA and NOT HERC. The LOGOROOT.ZIP files contains all the
drivers (.BGI) that Turbo-C supports.

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.
