The author's instructions
Installing the program: First you need the main program LXPIC. You can download it for example from S.U.P.E.R. Then you can unzip (you probably already have) my tiny *.zip files, create a directory for each group of them and copy the icons to the associated directory. Now you should refer the user's guide of the LXPIC for information how to use LXPIC. Of course you can use the LXPIC from the command line in dos but I personally feel it convenient to add it to the Application Manager of the Palmtop. You can add a new item for different videos by using the same main program LXPIC and giving the arguments of the associated videos. For example you can write the following string to the Application Managers path line: c:\lxpic\lxpic.com c:\locom\locom??.icn|70 or c:\lxpic\lxpic.com c:\engine\engine??.icn|70. Please, refer to the Palmtop user's manual for details how to add a new program to the Application Manager. After executing the program you see the object in the screen in its original size. You start running the object by pressing the letter V. You adjust the size of the picture by pressing the button + or -. For more details, please, refer the user's guide or the Help of LXPIC.

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.
