No easy .EXE to .EXM conversion possible 100/200LX

There is no way to convert a DOS EXE program to a System Compliant EXM. It has to be written that way from the start. If you are looking for a way to do task switching, you already have it on the 100LX. One DOS partition can be task switched running a standard DOS program.

The programming tools for the 100LX are becoming available. You need to be a registered ISV to get them. There is a text version of the Developers Registration Form in CompuServe's HPHand Library 15 called ISVAPP.CVD . Fax the form to the number indicated. Sending the form by other means is OK, but will take longer to complete because additional processing is necessary to get it to the right place.
