Installation:
=============
Install the EMX runtime per the included instructions in EMXRT.DOC.

Run MAKEFOLDER.CMD from the OS2 subdirectory to create the folder 
and icons.

PISOCK.DLL must be put into a directory contained in your LIBPATH or
add the directory Pilot Link is installed into to it. You can 
optionally add a . to the LIBPATH is the current directory is used. 
This can allow different versions of Pilot Link to be run from the 
same machine. For example:

LIBPATH=.;C:\OS2\DLL;C:\OS2\MDOS;C:\;E:\OS2\APPS\DLL;

MISC
====
There are may commands in Pilot Link that don't have icons created 
for them. Most will list there command line options when executed
without any parameters. Refer to the README and CHANGELOG files 
for more details.

Some of the command will open up to a blank screen and seem to
do nothing. They are waiting for the hot-sync button to be pressed
so communications with the Pilot can begin. In the future prompts 
will be added.

To increase the communications speed between your computer and the
Pilot add 

SET PILOTRATE=xxxxx

to your config.sys where xxxxx is 19200, 38400, 57600 baud. Some
computers may have problems with 57600, 38400 is recommended.

"Get Clipboard from Pilot" dose not actually put the contents of the
Pilot's clipboard into the OS/2 clipboard. It just displays it to the 
screen. You can then use the window mark and copy commands to
put the data into the OS/2 clipboard.
