SCALE-LX by Alan Krempler

This archive contains two versions of a scale program for cm, inch and pica.
Measurements can be taken on the screen or against the edge of the case.
The programs was originally inspired by the SCALE_LX PCX files by Taroken.

Both programs are SHAREWARE. So if you find to be using them, please send
USD 5.- (a very moderate price) to:

A good occasion to test your honesty!

An alternative for our Japanese friends would be to translate the documentation of
the excellent FINDER program, a graphical user interface for the HP200LX.
This program can be found at http://www.palmtop.net/super.html.
Ever seen a graphical file manager handling zip archives transparently and using
multiple file associations coded into 40k?


Files in this archive:
README.TXT	this file
SCALE.EXE	EXE Version of the program, configurable by SCALE.CFG
SCALE.CFG	configuration file for SCALE.EXE
SCALE.EXM	system manager compliant version
SCALE.ICN	icon for system manager

EXE version:
The advantages of the EXE version are that it does not use up the scarse slots
of the system manager and its user configurability. For configuration details 
see the comments in SCALE.CFG. The disadvantages are its file size and the fact 
that only one DOS program can be running at one time on the HP200LX.
The progrm requires about 90K of free memory to run properly.

EXM version:
It is intended to be installed in system manager, or, even better, in MOREEXM.
There can be several EXM programs running concurrently on the HP200LX.
This version ist not (yet) configurable, but note the small file size! 
It is smaller than any of the PCX files that inspired the program.
