How to install it

What to send to the palmtop saves 11.2 KB

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

  • VDE2RTF.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 7.3 KB

No need to put LAT_1250.2PT, null.2pt, readme.txt, test.txt, VDE2RTFH.TX1, Vde2rtfh.tx2, VDE2RTF.PAS, TRLATE.PAS and 1 more: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 11.2 KB on a 1 MB disk.

Steps
  1. Copy VDE2RTF.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.

Font handling
In the file VDE2RTFH.TXT is defined header for RTF file; in the
lines 3-7 is font table. On last two lines is set default font for
document (/f1 is for font#1, Courier New) and it's size (in half
point, /fs20 is for size 10). You can, of course, modify all these
values.
The mark "Alternative pitch" (^PA) switches to font#2 (Arial in
default), "Normal pitch" (^PN) back to font#1.

You can define the RTF commands for 4 user switches (^PQ, ^PW,
^PE, ^PR) and one user toggle (^PU). Definitions are written into
