How to install it

What to send to the palmtop saves 250.7 KB

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

  • SR.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 29.5 KB
  • DW.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 127.0 KB
  • DWDEMO.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 88.9 KB
  • CURSOR.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 11.0 KB

No need to put DW.HLP, DEMOWKSH.P2, DWGUIDE.TXT, ORDER.FRM, FILE_ID.DIZ, README.1ST: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 250.7 KB on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy SR.EXE, DW.EXE, DWDEMO.EXE, CURSOR.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 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 DWRK11.ZIP or DWRK11.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 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
        CURSOR.EXE    Daves and restores cursor attributes (see v1.1m)
        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

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.
