Steps

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.
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.
