RemKey

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

• REMKEY.COM → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 6.0 KB
• REMKEYDB.COM → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 6.1 KB
• REMKEY.ICN → A:\SOFT icono, junto a su aplicación 200 B

No need to put REMKEY.ASM, REMKEY.DOC, REMKEY.ICO: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 87.8 KB on a 1 MB disk.

1. Copy REMKEY.COM, REMKEYDB.COM 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. The .ICN files are icons: they go in the same folder as their application.

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.

QUICK START: On the LX terminate the SysMgr (<More><Menu>AT<Enter>).
Change to the directory where you copied REMKEY.COM and type "remkey"
at the DOS prompt. On your PC type "remkey" or "remkey /t" to use
RemKey as a TSR.  "remkey /2" for COM2, "remkey /3/t" to use as a TSR
with COM3, etc. If you have a 200LX add the "/Q" option on the PC.

With RemKey active on the PC anything you type should appear on the
LX. On the PC press Alt and "8" to exit RemKey. On the LX Alt plus
"8" will toggle RemKey off and on. The high-pitched "warble"
indicates that RemKey is active, the low-pitched warble indicates it
is inactive or disabled.

Follow the key guide displayed on the sending PC for which key
combinations map to the special keys on the LX. If you like how
RemKey works you might want to add it to your AUTOEXEC.BAT. Adding
the line "remkey /d" will cause RemKey to start disabled.

Detailed Instructions:

standard HP F1015A serial cable you can install RemKey as follows:
