The author's instructions
To install the date item, you must copy the files into their appropriate directories and re-build PAL. It is recommended that you save copies of the original files before replacing them. The following tables shows where each file goes: File Location DHSTNDRD.C \PAL\SRC\DIALOG IHDATE.C \PAL\SRC\DIALOG PALDLG.H \PAL\SRC\INC SRCLIST \PAL\SRC DATE.TXT \PAL\DOCS Note: You can edit the standard doc files (\PAL\SRC\DIALOG\DIALOG.DOC) to include the contents of date.txt directly if you wish to have all of your documentation consolidated. Once you have copied the files into the correct directories, you must rebuild PAL. This can be done as follows: A:\> cd \PAL\SRC A:\PAL\SRC> PM Note: The above example assumes that your PAL directory is on your A: drive. Please note that the date item has only been tested with Borland Turbo C v2.0 (since that's the only compiler I have). However, all code was written to conform to PAL standards and as such, should work with any PAL supported compiler. If you have any questions on the date item, please contact me at johnmcd@ix.netcom.com. For any other PAL related issues, please contact the PAL authors directly. John McDonald

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.
Your browser cannot talk to the serial port. Direct sending uses the Web Serial API, which only exists in Chrome, Edge and Opera on desktop — not in Firefox, Safari or any mobile browser.
Download the file with the button above and copy it to the palmtop your usual way.
