How to install it

What to send to the palmtop saves 135.5 KB

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

  • MATHPLOT.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 136.5 KB

No need to put MATHPLOT.SDA, FILE_ID.DIZ, VENDOR.DOC, MATHPLOT.FON, MATHPLOT.LJF, MATHPLOT.FUN, MATHPLOT.DOC, REGISTER.DOC and 1 more: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 135.5 KB on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy MATHPLOT.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
To install Mathplot, copy the files into the directory of your choice. If
the MATHPLOT.HLP and MATHPLOT.FON files are not in your current directory,
you must place a command of the following form in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to
tell Mathplot where to look for its help and font files:

SET MATHPLOT=directory

Where "directory" is the name of the device and directory where the files
are located. For example, if the files are located in a directory named
MATHPLOT on the C disk, the following command could be used:

SET MATHPLOT=C:\MATHPLOT

Start Mathplot by typing the DOS command:

MATHPLOT

Press Enter after you have finished reading the title screen. The F5 key
executes built-in example plots.  Each time you press F5, a different
example is displayed.  I suggest you use this feature to display a few plots
in order to get a feeling for how Mathplot works and what types of commands
are used to produce plots. Press any key to continue with execution after
you finish looking at a plot.

Press F3 to call up the help menu.

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.
