How to install it

What to send to the palmtop saves 211.9 KB

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

  • STS.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 30.0 KB
  • STSET410.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 11.6 KB

No need to put README.1ST, ORDER.DOC, STS.DOC, VENDOR.DOC, STS.HLP, ASP_NOTE.TXT, CHANGES.TXT, MRE_INFO.TXT and 2 more: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 211.9 KB on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy STS.EXE, STSET410.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
setup program is named STSET401.EXE.  IN ORDER FOR STEREO SHELL TO
        FIND AND EXECUTE THE SETUP PROGRAM, IT MUST EXIST SOMEWHERE IN THE
        USER DEFINED DOS PATH.

        >> Sec. 1.3            RUNNING StS THE FIRST TIME

             It is strongly suggested that the user create a sub-directory
        named STEREO and copy all of the files associated with StS into
        that sub-directory.  If there is space on the C: drive for this
        sub-directory that is the recommended place for it.  StS uses an
        integrated external setup program (see above) that must reside in
        the DOS path so it is also suggested that the user edit the path
        statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to include the STEREO sub-
        directory.  If you have no path statement, then add the following
        line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.   PATH=C:\STEREO\

             To execute StS, just type in STS at the DOS prompt like you
        would any other program.  StS is not resident or special with respect
        to general operation with one exception.  StS expects to find the
        COMSPEC environment string defined.  In 99% of all cases MS-DOS has
        already done this job for you so no action is required by the user.
        In the event that StS does not find this string, it will report the
        error.  If this happens, then simply add this statement to your
        AUTOEXEC.BAT file.   SET COMSPEC = C:\COMMAND.COM   If you are not
        running a hard disk, you should adjust the drive letter as required.

             When executed, the StS screen will appear on your display, in
        living black and white.  The system defaults are set to direct
        screen writes which allow the program to operate on any type of

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.
