No need to put REGISTER.TXT, FLEXPAD.HLP, README.TXT, TOUR.FLP, UPGRADE.TXT, ADB2FLP.DOC, AUTOEXEC.SAM, CONFIG.SAM and 1 more: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 168.2 KB on a 1 MB disk.

1. Copy FLPCALL.EXM, FPLA.EXM, FPLC.EXM to A:\SOFT. It is a System Manager application: register it in App Manager with F2 (Add), giving the full path (for example A:\SOFT\FLPCALL.EXM).
2. The 200LX takes 8 EXM applications at most. Check with F8 (List) in App Manager: an asterisk in the Status column means the quota is full and you will need MoreEXM.
3. Copy ABK2FLP.EXE, ADB2FLP.EXE, ADBDUMP.EXE, CALLFLP.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.
4. The .ICN files are icons: they go in the same folder as their application.

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:

• ADBIO for Win32 ADBIO

-----INSTALLATION/SETUP----

To install FLEXPAD, copy the appropriate files to your disk.  You can run FLEXPAD from the DOS command prompt by typing "FLEXPAD".

The program uses its own configuration file (FLEXPAD.CFG).  On startup, this file is looked for in the C:\ root directory and, if not found, created with the standard default settings.  You can tell that the CFG file was not found if at startup FLEXPAD tells you your data file was not found and an empty file was created.  On computers where you can not write to the C: drive because it is on ROM, write protected or doesn't exist, or where you want the config file to reside somewhere else, add the command line switch "/c:[drive]:[directory] when you start FLEXPAD (i.e., /c:d:\,c:d\data\).  Alternatively you can assign the appropriate directory path to the DOS environment variable "FLPCFG" by adding "set flpcfg=[drive]:\[directory]" to your autoexec.bat file.  If you attempt to use both methods, the command line setting will override the environment setting.

FLEXPAD remembers the name of the last 10 files you worked with and will reopen the most recently used file when you restart it, even returning you to the view and position in the file that you last were using.  You can override this feature by specifying a file on the command line when you start FLEXPAD:

     FLEXPAD /f:[file path\name]

This new file name will be recorded in the config file for use the next time you start FLEXPAD without the /F: switch.

The FLEXPAD.EXE program file can be placed in any directory, however it expects to find its help file (FLEXPAD.HLP) on the root directory of drive C: (C:\).  You can change the location of the help file on the Settings|File submenu if necessary.
