How to install it

What to send to the palmtop saves 10.5 KB

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

  • TREE.EXM → A:\SOFT aplicación del System Manager 32.5 KB
  • TREE.ENV → A:\_DAT configuración 263 B

No need to put TREE_E.DOC: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 10.5 KB on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy TREE.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\TREE.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 TREE.ENV to A:\_DAT, where the 200LX looks for configuration. Open it with Memo and adjust it before use.
  4. 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.

The author's instructions
3.1 Installing
  Put TREE.EXM and TREE.ICN in the same directory. Register TREE.EXM
  in the system manager. (Please read the manual of HP100/200LX
  if you do not know how.)

3.2 Notice to Users of Former Versions
  When you first run this program, you will see the message that TREE.ENV
  is illegal. Please ignore this error and press ENTER. You will not see
  the message again.

3.3 Operation
  The program has a menu system that is very similar to built-in PIMs
  except a few minor differences.

  Function keys:
  [Parameters]  Sets parameters.
  [Draw]        Draws trees without erasing.
  [Draw New]    Erases the screen and draws new trees.
  [Erase]       Erases the screen.
  [Open]        Reads a file.
  [Save]        Saves the current image in a file.

  By choosing [Menu][Help][Japanese Help] you can see a Japanese help
  if your HP100/200LX supports Japanese.
  If it doesn't, all you see is meaningless characters.

3.4 Setting Parameters (Values inside < > are defaults.)
  [Variety]  < OFF >
  Branches usually spread within a fixed angle that is the same for
  all the trees. If this option is on, the angle is determined
  randomly for each tree and the setting for [Branches] is ignored.

  [Gradation] < ON >
  Uses gray scale.

  [Boulevard] < OFF >
  Draws a boulevard. The larger value of [Height] is ignored.

  [Number=32] < ON >
  The number of trees are forced to 32, when [Boulevard] is on.

  [Light] < 4 >
  Brightness of trees. The larger the value, the darker the trees.

  [Number] < 7 >
  Number of trees. No trees are drawn when this is set to 0.

  [Trunks] < 6 >
  Specifies the biggness of trunks. The larger value means thinner trees.
  Numbers from 1 to 999 are accepted, but there is no sense in
…

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.
