How to install it

What to send to the palmtop saves 303.8 KB

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

  • SR.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 36.3 KB
  • DW.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 220.7 KB
  • DWDEMO.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 98.9 KB

No need to put DEMOWKSH.P2, DWGUIDE.TXT, ORDER.FRM, FILE_ID.DIZ, README.1ST, DW.HLP: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 303.8 KB on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy SR.EXE, DW.EXE, DWDEMO.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 manual mentions these files, which are in the archive:

The author's instructions
INSTALLATION

    Create a directory on your hard disk called DW and change directory
    to it like this.

	C:\> MKDIR DW
	C:\> CD DW
	C:\DW>

    Copy the DWRK.ZIP or DWRK.EXE file into this directory.  If you have
    the .ZIP file, unzip it.  If you have the .EXE file, execute it.

    The following files are created:

	SR.EXE        The Demo Workshop screen recorder TSR
	DW.EXE        The Demo Workshop presentation editor
	DW.HLP        The presentation editor help file used by DW.EXE
	DWGUIDE.TXT   The Demo Workshop v1.1 Users Guide
	DEMOWKSH.P2   File required by DW.EXE to create standalone
		       presentation programs
	DWDEMO.EXE    Demonstration DW presentation
	ORDER.FRM     The Demo Workshop registration and order form
	FILE_ID.DIZ   BBS description file
	README.1ST    This file


    To view the demo, execute DWDEMO.EXE.

    You might want to create an environment variable called DWDIR and
    equate it to the directory where you unpacked Demo Workshop.  This
    will allow you to use Demo Workshop from another disk/directory it
    you wish.  To do this, place a line like the following in your
    AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

	  SET DWDIR=C:\DW

    You will need to reboot for this change to take effect.

    If you do not do this, and you execute DW from another directory,
    you will not be able to access help information or create
    .EXE output files.


RELEASE NOTES

    You must create a recording file before you can use DW, the
    presentation editor.  You can create an empty recording if you
    wish by invoking SR twice.  The first time, a file called SCREEN.REC
    will be created, and the second time SR will remove itself from
    memory.

    Type SR /? to display a brief help screen for the screen recorder.

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.
