LX TOOLS 1.0a - Access files on the HP palmtops
===============================================
The LX tools are a set of commands that let you transfer files from the Unix
system to your HP palmtop and the other way round via a serial cable. They
also let you create and delete directories. On the palmtop, all you need is
the built-in Filer application. Well, and of course you also need a cable,
a palmtop and a Unix system.
NEW IN VERSION 1.0a:
- environment variables LXTOOLS_LINE and LXTOOLS_BAUD override
command line options
- 8 serial lines are supported (instead of 4)
- all messages are written to stderr (instead of stdout) so that
stdin/stdout can be used for data transfer.
- files copied from the LX are now (configurable) in lower case
NEW IN VERSION 1.1:
- little endians / big endians should now work both (untested)
- lxcopy can now recursively enter directories. Using this
option, you can backup the LX with one command.
- lxcopy can be told to only copy files from the LX that have
the archive bit set (useful for backups).
- several smaller fixes
NEW IN VERSION 1.1a:
- the serial line setup is no longer done with a "system(stty..." call,
but replaced by direct procedure calls. This should work on all
POSIX compliant systems.
INSTALLATION
- unpack the compressed tar file (you already did that, didn't you ;-)
- check the file "config.h". It should be OK for Linux systems,
but might need some changes for other systems.
- if you don't have the gcc compiler, you might need to modify
Makefile
- "make"
- if you want to save some space: "make clean"
- move "lxtools.1" to /usr/local/man/man1 or wherever you keep
the manual pages
- move the executables (lxdir, lxcopy, lxdel, lxmkdir and lxrmdir)
to where you want to keep them (probably /usr/local/bin)
- "man lxtools"
- don't tell me you have done *all* above steps and still need
further instructions!
