they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 226.8 KB on a 1 MB disk.
Steps
- Copy Termin.com, Pine.exe, Pico.exe, Netdial.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 Wattcp.cfg 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.
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 author's instructions
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
If you've made it this far, then you have already picked up a copy of
PC-Pine that is appropriate for your networking software and "unzipped"
the files in a directory (probably C:\Pine) on your PC's disk drive. In
the case of PC-Pine for Winsock, assuming you have Winsock/TCP/IP
networking software already installed, you can now use the Windows file
manager to create a new program item, or just use the "Run" option in the
program manager to start out. For the DOS versions, there are only a few
more things you have to do to get Pine rolling:
Setting up the Networking Software
We assume that your DOS networking software has been installed and
configured for regular use. If it has not, you must do that before
using Pine.
There are some additional steps that must be taken by users of
packet drivers, or older verisons of FTP, Inc.'s PC/TCP. Those steps
are explained below.
PCs with a Packet Driver:
A) Edit the file WATTCP.CFG in the PC-Pine distribution to set
the PC's TCP/IP configuration. Simply edit the file to do this.
B) Every time Pine runs, it needs to be able to "see" the
WATTCP.CFG file you just configured above. To do that, you
must add an environment variable "WATTCP.CFG" to the file
AUTOEXEC.BAT. Here are the step-by-step instructions:
1) Edit the file C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT to add the following line -
set WATTCP.CFG=C:\PINE
2) Save the file and reboot your computer.
You will only have to do this packet driver specific configura-
tion work once.
X) ADDITIONAL NOTE: If you have a running version of NCSA telnet,
already installed on you PC, its "CONFIG.TEL" file can be used

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.
Your browser cannot talk to the serial port. Direct sending uses the Web Serial API, which only exists in Chrome, Edge and Opera on desktop — not in Firefox, Safari or any mobile browser.
Download the file with the button above and copy it to the palmtop your usual way.
