The author's instructions
Installation There is no special installation required. Just copy the files to the palmtop. LXB.EXE and LXB.HLP are the only files needed and must be in the same directory. If you need some space you can delete LXB.HLP. This will disable the help function and you can not make the sample files. The sample batchfiles and sample lxb files are not supplied separate. From the Help system you can create them. New in version 3.0 - New FileDialog function. It will display a dilalog for selecting a file like used in the buld in applications (Save as.. and Open) - PullDownmenu support. With the Functions PullDownClear, PullDownItem and PullDownUse you can create your own puldown menu's - The IF command support number comparing with greater and bigger ( < and > ) - The help system code is moved to the help file. This way LXB.EXE will stay small even with the new functions. - Print function is added to replace the DOS echo function. The Print function works faster in LXB files because command.com is not needed. - MenuXY and SMenuXY function to place a menu at a possition you wish. - CD function added. This was already possible but was handeld by COMMAND.COM. The new way is mutch faster. - <drive>: function added. Changing drives is now handeld by LXBatch and not COMMAND.COM to make LXB files faster. - ScrollUp and SrollDown functions are added to scroll the screen up and down. - ShowIcon and ShowIconInv are added to display icon files. - Functions for using configuration files: ReadConfig, WriteConfig, GetConfig, SetConfig, DelConfig, ForgetConfig. - Reading en convert CSV lines to variable with the ReadCSV and ConvertCSV functions. - Making loops for reading directories with ForFile, ForDir and Next - Bugs removed: …
