Ex: Read This First!
======================
Ex 1.2 is a scientific calculator for the HP95LX palmtop and for
PC-DOS clones, written and copyright (C) 1993 by J.A. Wrotniak.
The program comes in two separate versions; one for the HP palmtop
and one for "regular" PC-DOS machines.
Ex is shareware; the details of registration and further
distribution are given in the enclosed documentation file, EX.DOC.
PACKING LIST
The following files should have been enclosed in the set you have
received:
* READ_ME.1ST - the one you are reading
* EX.EXE - the program itself
* EX.UNI - data for unit conversion
* EX.HLP - used by the on-line help
* EX.ERR - run-time error messages
* EX.DOC - the user manual.
* WHATS.NEW - a list of recent changes
Registered copies of Ex contain four additional files:
* EXSET.EXE - a setup program
* EXSET.DOC - its brief documentation
* EXTUT.DOC - a tutorial text file
* UNITS.TXT - unit definitions (ASCII)
Except for the EX.EXE file, all others are identical for all
mutations of the program.
PRINTING THE DOCUMENTATION
The .DOC files are in the ASCII format with hard returns after
each line, and up to 66 characters wide. They can be viewed or
printed directly from any desktop computer.
For a printout, switch your printer,if possible, to the PC-850
character set (this can be done on the HP printers), otherwise
some of the special characters may not print right.
Finally, when you register, you may request a printout of the text
files at no extra charge.
QUICK START
Copy EX.PRG, EX.UNI, EX.HLP and EX.ERR to the same directory on
your HP95 or on the PC-DOS clone.
While in that directory, run the program by typing EX. (On the HP
palmtop you may also run Ex from the Filer by highlighting EX.EXE
and pressing F4.)
Once running, F1 will bring the on-line help, F10 will exit. Read
EX.DOC for more.
