- Copy GEOMNO.EXE, GEOCONVT.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.
- Copy GECONFIG.DAT, GEO2.DAT, GEO3.DAT, GEO4.DAT, GEO5.DAT, GEOCLOCK.DAT, GEOZONES.DAT, CITIES.DAT to A:\_DAT, where the 200LX looks for configuration. Open it with Memo and adjust it before use.
- If you edit a configuration file on the palmtop, make sure you leave a newline at the end: some programs swallow the last line without saying a word.
- The .ICN files are icons: they go in the same folder as their application.
