How to install it

What to send to the palmtop saves 251.0 KB

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

  • NUSOUND.COM → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 4.5 KB
  • HANDS.BAT → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 90 B
  • SETUP.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 112.1 KB

No need to put QUACK.WAV, CUCKOO2.WAV, FANFARE.WAV, WOOP.WAV, COWBELL.WAV, CHIMP.WAV, MONKEY.WAV, BARK.WAV and 24 more: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 251.0 KB on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy NUSOUND.COM, HANDS.BAT, SETUP.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
INSTALLATION (ONLY APPLIES IF YOU RECEIVED NUSOUND ON DISKETTE)
No surprises here. Just run SETUP from your NuSound diskette and follow
the instructions on screen. If you're comfortable with DOS, and you don't
care for setup programs you can install NuSound manually - just read the
manual (pun intended).

HANDS.BAT
Hands.bat -- a simple little batch file that illustrates the use of NuSound
to play sounds from within your own batch files. Change into your NuSound
directory and type:

		HANDS

Hands will clear your screen and put a little face in the corner. Now
whenever someone presses a key, your PC will say "Hands Off!".
Okay, when the giggling subsides and your amazement with the program turns
to tedium - hit <Ctrl-Break> to exit.

Finally, we just want to say HAVE FUN and don't forget to SEND IN YOUR
REGISTRATION (with it you get update & new product announcements, product
support, and a nice warm feeling inside).

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.
