Decisions

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

• MANUAL.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 36.3 KB
• AHP.CFG → A:\_DAT configuración 256 B
• AHP.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 58.8 KB

No need to put FILE_ID.DIZ, AHP-310.SDA, CAR.AHP, LINE.AHP, BENEFIT.AHP, COST.AHP, XYZCOMP.AHP, AHP.TXT: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 93.3 KB on a 1 MB disk.

1. Copy MANUAL.EXE, AHP.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.
2. Copy AHP.CFG to A:\_DAT, where the 200LX looks for configuration. Open it with Memo and adjust it before use.
3. If you edit a configuration file on the palmtop, make sure you leave a newline at the end: some programs swallow the last line without saying a word.

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.
