Description

LXTeX 2e is an adaptation of emTeX (TeX/LaTeX 2e for DOS) made for the palmtop. It is based on the idea of LXTeX 2.09, but uses a more recent version of LaTeX (2e). It needs more disk space (4-5 MB). Screen driver, various printer drivers and even TeXCAD are included and conducted by a batch menu system. Detailled documentation included. See also The LXTeX 2e homepage

No need to put GGLO.IST, GIND.IST, DVIDRV.ERR, BJ10EH.DOT, BJ300H.DOT, BJ.CNF, MFJOB.OVL, CGA.BGI and 361 more: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 3.1 MB on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy DVIDRV.EXE, MFJOB.EXE, DVISCRS.EXE, BTEX186.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.
  2. Copy MAKEBAS.DAT, MAKEFMT.DAT, TEXSYS.CFG to A:\_DAT, where the 200LX looks for configuration. Open it with Memo and adjust it before use.
  3. 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.

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.
