Not included. I got it through my role in the former Dutch HCC 
Sharp user group that I mentioned before. So I feel stupid that I 
can't tell you where to get it.

It was indeed meant for the archive, but the reactions will probably 
be similar to yours  'what is power.exe?' It is copyrighted by DIP 
and if I'm correct DIP has no Sharp PC3000 stuff on its website. I 
have no idea about the policy Dip Research has with this material 
from 1993. (see header at the of this message)

It is attached to this reply, it is a compressed file. Perhaps you can 
place it on your site and place my previous reaction in the archive. I 
don't expect to many enthousiasts cut power lines, but you never 
know...

BTW 
1. did yo know DIP had its own interrupt mentioned in the DOS 
interrupt list? I believe it is int 7E.
2. do you or the archive know that a complete set of built-in PC3K applications also exist for the desktop PC? 
Its compressed length is 503 kB and comes from PICO. I suppose this was also sold separately. 
I expect this article to be obsolete as well. Perhaps an idea for the 
website?
