How to install it

What to send to the palmtop saves 3.1 KB

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

  • INSTALL.COM → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 2.2 KB
  • JORJPAK.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 648.8 KB

No need to put FILE_ID.DIZ, README.TXT: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 3.1 KB on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy INSTALL.COM, JORJPAK.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.

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
After installation on your hard disk, which is made automatic
       with the INSTALL routine, the JORJ directory will contain-
               ALPHA.DOC   The Alpha program documentation
               ALPHA.EXE   The Alpha driver program
               OMEGA.DOC   The Omega program documentation
               OMEGA.EXE   The Omega driver program
               NOTES.TXT   Additional documentation for both programs
               JORJ.DAT    The dictionary database

       INSTALL will create the directory \JORJ and load it with the above
       mentioned files.  This will be the default directory used by Jorj.
       The usual condition would be to have a single pair of files for the
       .EXE and .DOC files and the names would be JORJ.EXE and JORJ.DOC.
       Therefore, the body of the documentation will refer to the executable
       program as "JORJ" rather than "ALPHA" or "OMEGA". Also, you could
       differentiate between the two version by creating another subdirectory
       to hold the OMEGA files. Then both pairs of DOC files and EXE files
       could be renamed as JORJ.DOC and JORJ.EXE. The database file JORJ.DAT
       is common to both programs and may not be renamed.

       PROCEED WITH THE INSTALLATION AS FOLLOWS:

       From the directory containing the distribution files type:
             INSTALL A: C:

       Where A: is the SOURCE drive (floppy or fixed) and
             C: is the TARGET drive (hard disk).

       NOTE:   If your drives are designated differently,
               then use the APPROPRIATE LETTERS.
               Also, if SOURCE is a subdirectory then you
               must use the full pathname (drive\pathname).

       Thank you and may you enjoy your new dictionary.

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.
