Description

Running This Program on the Desktop This program was designed to take advantage of the HP palmtop's graphics hardware. You can, however, run it on a desktop computer with a CGA or better display, using the INT5F driver which is included with this package. The INT5F driver emulates the HP's graphics mode, allowing you to run this program (and many others, especially those produced in recent years with the PAL library) on a desktop PC. INT5F has two modes: VGA and CGA. In CGA mode, it uses the CGA's 640x200 monochrome mode to emulate the HP's LCD.

How to install it

What to send to the palmtop saves 21.5 KB

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

  • HEARTS.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 32.5 KB
  • HEARTS.ICN → A:\SOFT icono, junto a su aplicación 200 B
  • INT5F.COM → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 8.6 KB
  • HEARTS.CFG → A:\_DAT configuración 187 B

No need to put COMB0015.HFN, DESKTOP.TXT, REGISTER.TXT, SPAN0015.HFN, COMS0015.HFN, HEARTS.TXT, FILELIST.TXT: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 21.5 KB on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy HEARTS.EXE, INT5F.COM 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.
  2. Copy HEARTS.CFG to A:\_DAT, where the 200LX looks for configuration. Open it with Memo and adjust it before use.
  3. 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.
  4. The .ICN files are icons: they go in the same folder as their application.

The manual mentions these files, which are in the archive:

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.
