How to install it

What to send to the palmtop saves 3.0 KB

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

  • SORTNOTE.EXM → A:\SOFT aplicación del System Manager 15.2 KB
  • SORT.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 6.8 KB
  • SORTNOTE.COM → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 135 B

No need to put NOTES.MAC, SORTNOTE.TXT: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 3.0 KB on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy SORTNOTE.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\SORTNOTE.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.
  3. Copy SORT.EXE, SORTNOTE.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.

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
How to install:

Place SORT.EXE, SORTNOTE.COM and SORTNOTE.EXM in a directory that
resides in your path. Install SORTNOTE.EXM to MOREEXM or to Application
Manager using the Ctrl-F3 hotkey combination. If you need to use
another hotkey combination, make sure and change Macro 1 to reflect
your choice. Put the macros from NOTES.MAC into a macro file, but make
sure to put Macro 2 in macro slot 2. If it is not there, SORTNOTE.COM
will not call it. If you run Buddy and use the automatic macro file
loading feature, you can just copy NOTES.MAC to your macro file
directory or add these two macros to your existing NOTES.MAC file. The
restriction on Macro 2's location still applies.

How to run:

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.
