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

No need to put
LXDC.TXT:
they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 19.2 KB on a 1 MB disk.
Steps
- Copy LXDC.EXM to A:\SOFT. It is a System Manager application: register it in App Manager with F2 (Add), giving the full path (for example A:\SOFT\LXDC.EXM).
- The 200LX takes 8 EXM applications at most. Check with F8 (List) in App Manager: an asterisk in the Status column means the quota is full and you will need MoreEXM.
- Copy LXDC.INI 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
3.Installation
Decompress the archive, place LXDC.EXM to your preferred
directory and register it to MoreEXM or System Manager. Place
LXDC.INI to A:\_DAT or C:\_DAT.
You need to create a directory for LXDC to store images
(example: A:\LXDC). One image consumes approximately 125 KB.
You may prefer A: drive to C: as generally A: (flash disk)
provide more unused disk space.
Edit LXDC.INI on A:\_DAT or C:\_DAT and make an entry to define
the image storage directory (which you have just created) by
the following line:
D=A:\LXDC
Just add the directory name after "D=".
Note: If LXDC does not find LXDC.INI, it assumes that the
storage directory is C:\ and creates LXDC.INI on
C:\_DAT when it is closed. You can edit it by using
the build-in Memo editor. You can move it from
C:\_DAT to A:\_DAT.
If there is a file LXDC.INI on C:\_DAT and on A:\_DAT, LXDC
uses the one on A:\_DAT.
If your camera is the Chinon ES-1000, additional modification
of LXDC.INI is necessary. Below "d=..." line, you should add
one line which reads:
e=1
It makes the software bundled with the ES-1000 to recognize LXDC.
Now you can start LXDC by pressing the start key you selected
at the installation.
