How to install it

What to send to the palmtop saves 116.8 KB

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

  • NOTEPAD.EXM → A:\SOFT aplicación del System Manager 63.5 KB

No need to put NOTEPAD.HLP, NOTEPAD.TXT, NOTEPAD.NP, APNAME.LST, READ.ME, CHANGES.TXT: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 116.8 KB on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy NOTEPAD.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\NOTEPAD.EXM).
  2. 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.

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
Installation instructions are in notepad.txt.

Important note: The password system has been changed again, because
of a bug that would cause a file to be correctly decoded even if the
wrong password was supplied.  Please use version 1.8 to decrypt any files
you might have encrypted with it, and encrypt again with version 1.9.

Also of interest:  Many people have asked me whether Notepad works on
a desktop PC.  If you have the Communications package from HP, you can
install notepad.exm and run it under APP95.  To do this, add the following
line to the file APNAMEUS.LST:
NOTEPAD.EXM,5F00,Notepad
This will let you run Notepad by typing CTRL-F2.

Literal excerpt from READ.ME, exactly as it came in the package.

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.
