Ex: Read This First!
======================
Ex 1.54 is a scientific calculator for the HP95/100/200LX
palmtop computers and for PC-DOS clones, written and copyright
(C) 1993-96 by J.A.Wrotniak.
The program comes in two separate versions; one for the HP
palmtops 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
* EX_HP.DOC - an HP Palptop addendum (if applicable)
* EXTUT.DOC - a tutorial text file
* WHATS.NEW - a list of recent changes
* FILE_ID.DIZ - a brief program info for bulletin boards
* REGISTER.DOC - information on how ro register
The additional files work only with the registered copies:
* EXSET.EXE - a setup program
* EXSET.DOC - its brief documentation
* UNITS.TXT - unit definitions (ASCII) for use with EXSET.EXE
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 64 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 (e.g., the pi symbol) may not
print right.
QUICK START
Copy EX.PRG, EX.UNI, EX.HLP and EX.ERR to the same directory on
your HP95/100/200LX or on a PC-DOS clone. Registered users also
should copy their personal EX.KEY file there.
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.
