REXIO V0.x Preliminary documentation
-------------------------------------

REXIO is a small utility that can load and save the raw data contents of the Franklin REX
or an SRAM card on the HP 100LX, 200LX, and 700LX palmtop computers.

It is recommended to drop to DOS (quit all SysMgr applications - refer to manual for
instructions on how to do this) before calling REXIO.

Switch to your C: drive, insert the REX into your PCMCIA slot, and enter

   REXIO s filename

to save all of the REX data to the given filename

(e.g. REXIO s mydata.rex)

or enter

   REXIO l filename

to erase all data currently stored in your REX and replace it with the contents of the given
filesname

(e.g. REXIO l mydata.rex)


Configuration file
------------------

REXIO.CFG can be used to configure the behaviour of REXIO


Section [Settings]

Size

This setting determines how many blocks of memory REXIO reads/writes. It must reflect the memory size of your REX or flashcard as a multiple of 16K. 

Example:

Size = 256




NOTE: *** THIS IS A BETA VERSION ***

      ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR DATA FIRST BEFORE EXPERIMENTING WITH
      REXIO. THE PROGRAM DOES NOT EVEN ASK BEFORE OVERWRITING YOUR DATA.
      THERE IS NO GUARANTEE YOUR PALMTOP WON'T EXPLODE OR CATCH FIRE (*)

      *** THIS IS A BETA VERSION ***

(*) Although I'd really like to hear about those cases :-)
