How to upload apps to the OmniGo for testing.



Q. For testing purposes, how is an application uploaded to the OmniGo?
   Where in OmniGo is the app stored once it's uploaded?

A. The application is stored in the RAM disk. The easiest way to
   upload the application is:

   1. Reboot the OmniGo (shift-on-next keys) to make sure the previous
      version of your app is not running in the background

   2. Run the Transfer application and connect.

   3. Use PCSend (comes with the SDK; it should be in the PCGEOS\BIN
      dir) you will need to set the ptty environment variable to have
      the same baud rate as the OmniGo (either 9600 or 19200). In
      DOS you can do this with the SET command. For example:
	C:\PCGEOS\APPL\SDK_C\MYAPP> set ptty=2,9600
      will tell PCSend to use com2 at 9600 baud. (there's more
      information about pcsend, pcget, and pccom in the tools book.)

   You will need to specify sending the application to the world
   directory otherwise it will end up in the root Geoworks directory
   where HomeScreen can't get to it. You specify the directory like
   this:

	pcsend myapp.geo /d:world

   which will send myapp.geo to the World directory on the OmniGo.
