  • UNO.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 48.4 KB
  • UNOCFG.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 16.5 KB
  • UNORES.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 48.4 KB
  • UNORUN.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 53.4 KB

No need to put README.1ST, UNO.DOC, SAMPLE.UNO, TUTORIAL.UNO: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 64.4 KB on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy UNO.EXE, UNOCFG.EXE, UNORES.EXE, UNORUN.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
Quick Start

     You should find two sample "piles" of notes with this distribution;
     tutorial.uno and sample.uno.  A good way to introduce yourself to
     Useful Notes is to try the tutorial.  Simply type:

        uno tutorial.uno

     at the DOS prompt then follow the on screen instructions.  You should
     be able to work through the tutorial without having read the
     documentation.

     To explore some ideas about how Useful Notes might be used, type:

        uno sample.uno

     at the DOS prompt and again follow the on screen instructions.



     Licensing

     Uno is a shareware information manager.  This means that you only pay
     for it if you decide to continue using it.  If you don't think that it
     is worth the asking price, delete the program, or better yet give it
     to someone who might find it useful.  However if you do decide to keep
     Uno after a 2 week trial period, please send $20 (see REGISTRATION
     FORM on next page) to:

        Useful Software

        Waterloo, Ontario
        Canada, N2J 3Y3

     The shareware fee pays for unlimited use of Uno by a single person.
     You are allowed (and encouraged) to give away copies of Uno with the
     understanding that each person receiving a copy is under the same
     obligation as you are to send in the shareware fee if they decide to
     keep it.  You can upload THIS VERSION ONLY of Uno to other computer
     systems, either free or commercial, as long as this archive remains
     intact, with the copyright and shareware notices unchanged.

     Useful Notes can be installed on LANS.  In such situations I ask only
     that the LAN Administrator estimate the maximum number of people that

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.
