How to install it

What to send to the palmtop saves 220.3 KB

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

  • LOGO.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 168.4 KB

No need to put ATT.BGI, CGA.BGI, EGAVGA.BGI, HERC.BGI, IBM8514.BGI, PC3270.BGI, README.DOC, APPLEDIF and 203 more: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 220.3 KB on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy LOGO.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.

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 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.
