The README.txt file which comes with Free42 for windows contains the following :-
It does not work that way for me. The three files
The folder structure is like this after the first run of Free42.exe
Blaah
|_Free42
|_portable
| |_ (empty)
|
|_Free42Binary.exe
|_Free42Decimal.exe
|_keymap.txt
|_print.bin
|_README.txt
|_state.bin
|_Untitled.f42
This caused me some grief: the initial program I wrote disappeared, so I had to resort to using \Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Plus42\"
What am I doing wrong?
Quote:Copy Free42Decimal.exe (or Free42Binary.exe, or both) to wherever you want it,
e.g. create a directory "C:\Program Files\Free42" and put it there.
When Free42 runs, it will create three additional files; they are state.bin,
print.bin, and keymap.txt, and they are used to store the calculator's internal
state, the contents of the print-out window, and the PC keyboard map,
respectively.
By default, these additional files will be stored in %APPDATA%\Free42, which is
typically C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Free42.
If you want to run Free42 from a removable drive, like a USB stick, and keep
the state.bin, print.bin, and keymap.txt file with Free42 on that drive, create
a file named "portable" in the same directory as Free42Decimal.exe or
Free42Binary.exe. When Free42 sees this file, it will ignore %APPDATA%\Free42
and keep those files in its own directory.
It does not work that way for me. The three files
- state.bin
- print.bin
- keymap.txt
