Testing Out The Setup

Once all the files have been installed, you're ready to test them. Before running the backup routine for the first time, make doubly sure that the batteries in your HP 95LX are fresh (or connect your 95LX to its AC adapter). The file transfer process eats batteries during the first run of the program. Depending on how many files you have on your 95LX, the initial backup may run for several minutes.

When you're ready, run ZIP on the HP 95LX. Once it is running, press v to put the program in serVer mode. The word Waiting should appear on the screen.

Log on to your desktop's B drive, issue the DOS command bkup95, and press (ENTER).

If all is working correctly, you should see a series of messages appear on the screen of your desktop, "Backing up C:\", "Backing up C:\_DAT", etc. On the 95LX you should see the names of the files being transferred.

The last line of the BKUPC.BAT file will run ZIP one last time to break the connection with the ZIP program on the HP 95LX.
