How about something like:

PE a:\docs\unzipped\*.txt a:\docs\unzipped\*.doc a:\docs\unzipped\*.me

PE lets you specify multiple files on the command line.  Just specify =
whichever
extensions you need to cover all of your documentation files.  This way, =
the
temporary files won't be included.

Subject:      Another way of using MM/LX
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Hi friends,

here is another way of using Mindmap/LX in daily life (at least the
daily life of a student ;-) )

I use it extensively to prepare myself for examinations.
I create maps which basically contain the table of contents of the
scripts and books I use (but only one map for one range of themes).

Then I collect all information I get (direct information of Internet
links etc.) and append them as children to the appropriate branches of
the "table of contents".

One result is that I never lose my aim because I always see what I have
learned already and what not (here I use the checkk off feature, F7),
another is that I can use easily other information (notes I have taken
before and saved in files, documentations I have already downloaded
before I have bought MM/LX) and embed it into the MM by creating links
to files (¬F).
And in addition everytime I fire up the map to continue learining I see
not only one topic (as I do when opening a book), but I see all topics
I have yet to learn.

And last but not least:
Learning brings real fun that way! :-)

Thanks, D&A!

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

When we talked about the Rex 3 on this list, I bought one for me and offer
one to my brother in law (he had inherited from my 95 lx which had died and
had nothing to store his address book).

Now, his computer crashed, and the only place where he has his address book
is in the REX.

Does somebody know a way to transfer the REX3 content to the 200 LX, so that
I could at least save his data in a CSV or Text file ?

I tried to slide the Rex into my laptop but it's a WIN NT4 machine and it is
not recognized.

Any help would be greatly appreciated... he is a little desperate to get his
data saved !

hi all,

thank you very much for your kind help,
I got several hints and forwarded them to Owen on his boat in Norway.
He wanted to add 4 gif images to one animated gif, and with the
mentioned programs I think he will be able to do it.
I will report to the list if I get a feedback from him.

The purpose is to make a manual about weather fax reception on the
HP200. The manual I got from him for a check is in RTF format.
But I think it is not necessary to read it on the palmtop, although
it should be possible. Most of us have one or more desktop computers
and can read it there or print it. (what I prefer anyway)

cheers,
Werner

I still ( or again) have various 200LX and related objects for sale.
May go to Ebay, but rather offer them here first.
Prefer to mail EU, but may consider sending worldwide. Please DON"t BID
HERE. Send me a private email for bid or info.

First one of my two spare's. .

hinge) or UK international(very small glued crack) version. Boxed, all
manuals. Serial Cable (no extra adapters). 10 MB Sundisk Flash ( the
original HP 10MB) plus Stacker disk. Original HP Connectivity Kit (book + 3
diskettes). Asking USD200 /EU230. Or make me an offer before the 10th of
October before it goes to Ebay if unsold. Either has the memory connector,
e.g. easy upgrade to 5MB with Times2tech board. I will sell only one! Prefer
to sell as a complete kit but will consider splitting.

B) - One 200LX 1 MB in semi-deplorable condition: Broken screen, big (glued)
hingecrack, battery door clip broken. Ugly bottom.  Motherboard and keyboard
in perfect condition. Wanna set up a mini-webserver? This is your PC!

Please write me privately and describe your problem once more. I cannot
remember, sorry. Or give me the link to your message in one of the
archives. But since I have not responded the first time (which means I
didn't have any idea when you asked), I cannot promise to be able to
solve your problem.

Do you use a flash card or only the internal RAM drive?

If you use a flash card or compact flash card, I strongly recommend to
NOT use lxtools, but rather buy a 35$ CF card reader which works with
linux (even some USB readers now work with newer linux kernels).

Then you can backup your RAM drive regularily to the flash card (see
http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/backuplx) and then back up the flash card
to Linux into a tgz.

That's the way I backup my LX (with a 96meg CF card).

Hi friends,

I'm fiddling around with PE and have now set up spell checking with the
PESPELL.ZIP package (finally: less typos in my emails! :-) ).

Does anyone have already created a (binary) German spell check
dictionary for PE?

And: Is there any way to use two different spell checkers alternatively
(for English and for German), easily to be chosen from within PE?

Hi friends,

I am considering if I should switch my PIM to PIM/PE.
At least I want to use it a little bit to become familiar with it, so
I can decide later if I want to use it.

What I have nothing really useful found about in all the docs was the
database thing.

I already use PE successfully for outlines. Very nice! :-)

But now I would like to know more:

What is the İDB¨ section in PE.CFG for?
What can I do with the +p lines in PE?

Are there any significant drawbacks of PIM/PE in comparison to the
built-in apps?

Thanks a lot

Thanks.
This is a way of excluding the temporary files, but it is only a
compromise, since some ZIPs contain other files (*., *.ini, *.cfg,
*.whatever...) which should also be viewed with PE. So I had to extend
the list of extensions everytime I see a new extension, and sometimes
PE will simply miss some files and I don't see it.

So, I'm still searching for another way. ;-)

It would be a little more work, but how about including a
SRCLIST file in each zip, then running pe with the "@" argument?
It would then only open the files listed in srclist.

In PE.CFG you may define a primary and a secondary spellchecker.

I use it since 2 years now and do not regret it - apart for the

running on the desktop with palrun ;-)

The best thing is that you are always one keystroke (=3Dshift+F6) away
from it whenever you run PalEdit.

> What is the İDB¨ section in PE.CFG for?

It defines the record seperator string (your choice). I prefer the "+("
string as it shows as full horizontal line accross the screen. Give it
a try. A "+p" would do as well. Or you may define "RECORD :" string
etc.

> What can I do with the +p lines in PE?

You can create subsets (=3Doutlines) by issuing a Ctrl+C coomand : if you
enter +p PE will display only lines which hold the string "+p"

Not to my knowledge. I have 2 years of PIM/PE (each ~300kB) and
something like 12MBytes of databases which I search with GREP and
FIND/LX.

Great!!
I can probably create this SRCLIST on the fly with a dir command in my

I'll check and report then.

Yes, I have read that.
But how can I choose which one to use when I spellcheck a document?

Or are they simply used one after the other if the word is not found in
the first one?

It shouldn't be a big problem to write a Windows application which
creates PIM compaatible data...
(Just for the secretaries, of course!)

In general, it is the same here, just one keystroke away (phone or
contacts, or data base), then it switches into SC work area 1 and I
have the built-in apps.

Thanks for this decription.

The funny thing is, when you first read the docs, it sounds much more
complicated that it really is.
Nowadays, it is difficult to imagine that with so really simple tools
you can do THAT much, so you interpret a lot more into the docs than
they really say. And that makes things seem more complicated.

It is simply a record seperator.
Nothing more.
Great! :-)

Yes, it works! :-)

I simply put a line
dir /b > SCRLIST
in front of
pe @

and it works!

I recently got a 440MB Sandisk (full size pcmcia - NOT compact flass)

My hp200 doesn't see it, but my laptop does. Any ideas on how to make it
work?

TIA

I read somewhere that Dockers or someone else has come out
with a new line of pants for the super geek. The pants have
extra pockets for pager, cell phone, PDA, etc.

In the US, cell phones have the same area code as the wireline
phones in your same "home" area. They are seamlessly
integrated in that your phone can be found anywhere in the
country by dialing your number, including area code. In the
area where I live, each carrier has a unique or set of unique
"exchange" numbers (digits 4 - 6 in a number pattern like
xxx-xxx-xxxx) in a particular area code. If a cell phone has
the same area code and exchange as your phone, it is using the
same carrier. But, a carrier may obviously use more than one
exchange number, as there are only 9999 unique phone numbers
for each area code-exchange number combination.

From App Mgr, press F3 (edit) then go to the Path field and enter
the path and filename of an executable for which you also have a
corresponding ".ICN" in the same directory.

Tab to the Icon field and scroll thru the icons to the one you want,
then jump back to the Path field and enter the Maxdos command
string.  The icon you chose will stay "locked" despite changing the
Path.

F10 to save all your changes.

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Hi friends,

I have now played around with PIM a little, and I think I have
understood the basics.

However, I still have a few questions:

1. Does alapim.com work if it is loaded in an SC system before SC (i.e.
in autoexec.bat)? Does the alarm come up, no matter in which work area
I am?

2. How does the alarm sound? As the one of the appointment book?

3. Linking records (which is the most interesting feature, IMO):
I have understood, that I can link records using the
+> tag. But: If I press Ctrl-Enter on such a tag, WHAT records are
searched for?
Only records with +p and with exactly the same title in all pim files?
Or all records with any + tag? Must the title be EXACTLY the same, or are
there tolerances?

4. migrating from built-in PIM apps to PIM/PE: Did anyone develop an
easy way to migrate all current PIM data from the built-in apps to an
appropriate PIM/PE format? (i have about 500 contact database entries,
so I don't want to make this manually, and I also think the vcard
format supported by the convert utilities is not an option, or is it?
Is there a program for example which can handle a CSV file created by
gdbio and can remove the quotes, put every field into a new line and
put the appropriate + tags in front of every entry?

5. Can programs be started by PIM at a specific time (as it is possible
with the appointment book)? I need to run my nightly backup
automatically!

That's all, so far.

Thanks a lot for your patience
daniel

hello,

I have a problem with my HP LX connection to the windows network.
When I run it in a SC session, the connection itself works without
problems. When I want to unload the drivers, sometimes there is a
error message:
not sufficient memory
the system runs until I enter the next command. then there is a
message of command not found, system halted and I need a hard reset
of the palmtop.
This happens not always, I did not find a pattern though.

any ideas?

Maybe we should host that file at a central place, instead of mailing
it around.

Only if that is legal, of course.

Since I mention the program a few times on my home page, it would be
good to have a link to the fixed version.

It is a format which can be created by converting AVIs, so I thin it is
something like a "diet AVI" format.
I don't know anything more about it, but i way impressed how good a
video can look on the LX screen with EVA. Even sound is supported.
On SUPER there are the EVA player, the AVI converter and some sample
videos.

But I think due to the compression algorithms it  is not suitable to
display something like an animated GIF (which only contains very few
images and they have probably to be displayed accurately pixel by pixel
and not JPEG-like compressed).

But it depends on the requirements Owen has.

Daniel,

> Now I only need the German spellchecker.

In the meantime I am setting up my own German data file. The reason is,
that the process power of the 80-186 is limited and I would like to
keep the data file reasonable small. A 500kB file has a lot of words on
one hand on the other hand spell checking takes quite time.

In PE it is much easier to cut and paste text between the reply to an
e-mail and/or your PIM/PE appointment information and/or one of your
databases.

Reg databases I use capital letters for a database *Family" and a
database - see example from my pe.cfg :

With the tube you mean the cover on the hinge? There is nothing special under it (THE LEFT ONE). I suggest to remove it completely (don't be afraid the right one is that one which cracks) check wheter the cable to display is not going out (most likely
not) and put the tube back. (press it)

My precious HP200LX 8MB "Dutch
Railway" is acting strange. The hinge
tube has moved about 2 mm out on the
left side. I have tried gently to push
it in, but I don't dear to use more
force. Everything works fine. Any
suggestions?

Not a stupid question.

The default behavior of Filer doesn't allow it to be
closed to reclaim the extra 56k, but you can hack AppMgr
to close Filer anyway (I think the instructions are in
the FAQ), or you can use a program on SUPER ... called
CLOSEFLR which does the same.

Good idea.
An alternative to an Internet chat room could be a simple "talk"
connection between unix machines.
Do you have a unix or linux box with a talk client available?
I have one, so we could find a time to "chat" by email and then simply
"talk".

You hould be able to talk to me by invoking "talk daniel@İIP-address¨",
but my IP-address is dynamical.

Thank god it is the left side, not the right side. So you may have luck
pushing the tube back down if you follow these steps:

1. Plug in the AC adapter
2. open the battery door
3. remove the battery which is near the left edge
you now see a metal strip (which is a ground plate for the screen)
and under it, on
the very left side, you see a white round thing with a screw-like gap
in the middle (under the minus spring of the battery, it is abt. 1cm in
diameter)
4. In which direction points this gap? Horizontal, i.e. in the same
direction as the metal plate (in this case it is probably
covered by the metal plate, so you don't see the gap)?
Or Vertical? If it is horizontal, this means, the tube is "unlocked"
and you can safely push it back in place (but gently, please!).
After that, go on with 6.

5. If it is vertical, the tube is actually locked and you must turn the
white thing by 90 degrees first (no matter in which direction), then
you can push the tube back.


6. then turn the gap vertical again.

7. If you have trouble to reach the gap (especially in its horizontal
position), because the metal strip is covering it too much, try to bend
the metal gently up a bit, so you should be able to reach at least a
part of the gap with a small screwdriver.

I hope this helps.
If not, you might have to open the palmtop.
If everything fails, and you don't want to open the palmtop, pay all
shipping costs, and I will do that for you.

oh, if you really meant this one, forget about my description in the
other mail.

This is usually called "hinge cover" or so, with "tube" one actually
means the long tube _between_ the hinges.
My description means that one.

If you mean the left hinge cover, you can really remove it completely,
it is just cosmetical, maybe a little bit mechanical. But it shouldn't
be a big problem to push it back either.

This is normal.
Application manager keeps the filer open all the time. The reason is, I
think, that this way you always have a way to delete files if your
RAM drive becomes full and you have other applications open. The memory
for filer is thus always reserved.

However, there is a way to close filer with a trick.

I have applied it to my system, but of course I don't remember te way.
:-(


Oh I just see a utility on SUPER which does the trick:

http://www.palmtop.net/anonftp/pub/clsflr.zip

It is described under the title "CLOSEFLR"

"There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers."

Y'know what? That's a load of crap. I get bombarded with stupid
questions every day....

But I digress... HP doesn't let filer close so you can use it in case
of some crash or somethin'. there are utilies for closing filer to
free up the memory.

click here and download closeflr

If the link is broken just go to www.palmtop.net and search for

That is true.
Is there sufficient memory available to call PIM during you have PE
open UNDER Ost/LX and WWW/LX? Or do you use maxdos?

WOW. So much databases.

One question: Do you have one special contacts database or do you
spread all your contacts over all the databases, and rely on PIM to
find the correct file in which the desired entry is?

I still have difficulties to see the whole concept of usage (but I now
understand how it works in detail!)
What do you store in all the databases?

Would you mind sharing the content of one or two files, or is it too
personal? I really want to understand that system, so I can use it
effectively!

Indeed.
You can do the trickiest and most powerful things with just the

Andreas is! And you are, too.

Hi,

I have a question regarding the serial port. When I
reboot my Hp 200lx the serial port defaults to 2400
ON, I check this using Stephan's excellent Lxpro.
Considering that the serial port generates power
consumption and 2400 is pretty slow; how can I make
the palmtop default to off and 115000? I have selected
to have the serial port off from the Config panel in
sys manager, but it defaults to ON when I reboot. Why?

Thanks,

Inigo

Hello!

(Please respond off line if you can help!)

I have a 14.4V rechargeable flashlight that I would like to upgrade to use a
triple white LED light "bulb" (http://www.theledlight.com/ledbulbs.html) to
extend the life of the battery. Problem is, the LED light bulb can only take
4.5V. So the question is, how do I modify this simple circuit so that only
4.5V reaches the LED light and improves the life of the battery?

Thanks in advance!

I can't answer the "why", but the LXSTAT program on SUPER will
let you turn off the serial port power during bootup.  It doesn't set
the baud rate, but maybe you can do that during boot with the DOS
MODE command?

At the start of a calender year I have 4 PIM files :
 - CUR.PIM which holds data of the first quarter
 - 2002Q2.PIM for the second quarter
 - 2002Q3.PIM for the third quarter
 - 2002Q2.PIM for the fourthd quarter
 - 2001.PIM for last year
 - 2003.PIM for next year
This helps keep files "small" which is good for the reindexing process
=3D speed.

At the end of each semester I append the file of the closed semester
with the Year-to-Date file and rename the next semester to become my
CUR.PIM. E.G. On monday Oct 1st I appended CUR.PIM with 2001.PIM and
renamed 2001q4.pim to cur.pim.

Nothing fancy. That way you only work with the most recent files.

In PIM.CFG you can define

İChoice¨
cur=3D
2002Q1=3D
2002Q2=3D
2002Q3=3D
2002Q4=3D
2000=3D
2001=3D
2002=3D

That way you will be prompted where to save a done task etc. Try it.

> What do you store in all the databases?

Info which I find useful and which I type into the database and mostly
info which I store from all the internet sources which I use. I'm
working on a PHD project and it is an excellent way of keeping ideas
and notes categorized and easily availlable.

> Would you mind sharing the content of one or two files, or is it too

You have to find out your own usage pattern. I know that I use it
differently to how Andreas Garzotto is using it. I will send you my
CUR.PIM privately. The good thing is that PIM/PE looks ate every PIM
file and displays it. I have :

2001     PIM    179848 10-01-01   5:03p
2002     PIM      1721 09-27-01   7:41p
CUR      PIM     19700 10-02-01  10:55p
PRIVAT   PIM      2346 02-22-01   4:56p
YEARLY   PIM      2333 08-14-01  12:24p

My secretary has 2001.PIM, 2002.PIM and CUR.PIM but not PRIVAT.PIM and
YEARLY.PIM

I have all recurring items such as birthdays, car maintenacnce etc in
YEARLY.PIM. At the and of each year I make a search&replace on all 200x
and I'm set again for the new year. Very handy.

And now I'm supposed to switch to Outlook/Pocket-Outlook :(

My experience is, you should not care about the serial port's
status. Years ago I did extensive testing about the power
consumption of the serial port regarding different baud rates.

I had the palmtop running in a program loop with light sleep
turned off and the serial power turned off. A fresh loaded pair
of batteries gave me 12 hours before the palmtop said: main
battery low.

Then I did the same with the serial port turned on with 115200
baud. You know what? I also got 12 hours out of the recharged
batteries. Since that time I'm no longer concerned about the
serial port's power.

I try to transfer a file to a ftp-server with

I am told that the transfer has been completed but
the file isn't where it should be.
I am not familiar with the syntax.
I just type put c:\tmp\test.txt where
c is the disk of my hplx and test.txt is in directory
tmp. Where is the file stored now on the ftp-server?
I guess in the directory I have chosen before with
the command cd?
But it isn't.
Any recommendations?

Not possible . But r these emails/msgs created ONLY on LX machines ?

Its possible that some members r using desktops in their work . in that
case connecting to yahoo! and downloading Yahoo! Messenger would
enable chat in Win95/98/2k/Me environments .

or another chat forum like ICQ or Cheetachat.com could be used .
Even MSN allows chat . it needs a hotmail id and password .
probably something called 'passport' is to be enabled . then MSN
allows several parties talking in a conference . that a way many
members cud come together at a pre-assigned time (GMT) and
discussed in a structured fashion on a particular angenda item
like todays discussion is speeding up the lx , tomorrows could
be email via the Lx , day after could be on PIM features .. or it
could be this week , next week , subsequent .. etc ..

this will probably need a few try outs . there cud even be
small groups / subgroups .. with someone taking an
initiative for being the moderator of the group and
guiding the discussion .. with consent of other members ..

I am not the expert but ...

I copy all the files I want to upload into the directory from where I
run FTP and the PUT is quite straightforward.

My problem is that I can't upload *.wk1 files with FTP/LX to my Yahoo
webpage. If I rename them to *.wks it does not work either. I renamed
the Lotus file to *.htm and FTP reported a suxessfull completion of the
files but they were not up there.

Another solution is very simple. As a matter of fact I have used it lots of
times to display moving weathercharts on my HP200:

Every half our I downloaded another recent sattelite picture from Internet.
Downsized it to HPLX screensize, and converted it to PCX.
Put all the charts into one directory on your HPLX.
Start LXPIC and switch to fast slide show (button 'V' ).
The result is a repeating video composed of all the files, at a speed of
around 4 per second. With the buttons < and > you can set the speed.

Try it, it is simple to do and the result is amazing!

We are in Gmt+1 now I think. Usually online at this time every

Not easy, but perhaps get the hotsynch s/w and upload stuff to
the desktop (no idea if there is a hotsynch version for NT).
Then export to CSV, and upload to Palmtop.

Filer can be active (open) or asleep) - taking the same memory
in both cases. The mythology behind was pushed as an
explanation by HP. They said: It remains asleep and loaded in
cases you eun out of space and cannot save a Lotus worksheet
because there is no room on the disk. You can press Filer,
delete something and save your sheet.

This is pretty weak explanation, since in Lotus 123 you can
key /feo and select the file you want to delete (erase in
Lotus' lingo).

I have never found any good reason for Filer to remain open. I
never heard of anyone come up with a good explanation.

You can change the entry of Filer to a "closable application"
in the APPMGR.DAT file (where all the application definitions
reside. In SUPER there is a program called CLOSEFLR. When you
run it, it modifies the APPMGR.DAT permanently making FILER
really closeable.

The instructions are very explicit, and you must follow them
VERY closely, literally exactly. Otherwise the procedure
fails.

Lastly, when you do it, Filer behaves SLIGHTLY different than
other apps, in that it will require two FILER key presses to
wake up after you put it to sleep.

Hope this helps you.

Comments: To: vmbeazel@SWCP.COM
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Here is the secret: When you install the icon, its image is
placed in APPMGR.DAT (see c:\_dat) so you can take the icon -
usually said to have to be in the same directory as the app -
an move it somewhere else, or even delete it.

Having said that, I published many years ago the following
procedure, which let's you install an icon, no matter where it
is located:

1. Press the blue &... - that puts you in the applications
manager program.

2. Highlight the program you want to give an icon or change its
icon. If you are entering the program for the first time, see
below...

3. press Edit F3

4. Tab to Path field, where there is info on the program that
is activated by this icon.

5. Press Fn =3D (Copy) the info.

6. Type on top of the program info the icon location:
A:\misc\info\iconlist\icon1.icn or whatever the FULL PATH name
is.  Don't worry that this destroys the program information,
because in step5 you copied that information to the SysMgr
clipboard!

7. Tab to the icon area and scroll (up / down arrows) until
you see your selected icon. If you do not see it, then you did
not type the full path name of the icon correctly, or the icon
is invalid. If invalid path, tab to PATH field and retpe the
proper path name. If invalid icon, tab to PATH, press PAST (Fn
.) and go find a valid icon. You are finished for now.

8. If you see the icon, it means that it is now included
inside the APPMGR.DAT file!

9. Tab to the PATH field (which still has the icon path name)

10. Press PASTE (Fn .) to paste back in the program
information.

11. Press OK, F10.

12. The end.

Now you have an icon you like, which was not only in the same
directory as the icon, but did not even have to have the same
name as the application.

Try it! This has worked for many years on my 100LXs, 200LXs
and even I am told on OmniGo 700LX.

Hope this helps.

Uli:

The syntax is this:

PUT puts files from your palmtop into the directory on the
server where you are currently connected.

Syntax:  put filename.xxx


GET gets files from the directory on the server where you are
currently and places them on the default directory in the
palmtop.

Syntax  get filename.xxx

Other helpful commands:

lcd x:\pathname

This will set the LOCAL directory (on the palmtop!) to
x:\pathname (change to fit what you need it to be.

So:

lcd a:\utils\wwwlx

changes my local (on palmtop) directory to a:\utils\wwwlx.

get someutil.exe

the file will be copied from the server to that directory.

to copy from the palmtop a file at
c:\data\interes\ing\filename.yes to the server:

lcd c:\data\interes\ing\

then put filename.yes

will copy from the plamtop to the current directory on the
server.

cd somedir

changes the current directory to "somedir" on the server.

ls

lists the directory

dir

same action as on the Palmtop, lists the directory.

Hope this helps,

  Avi

Sometimes I think there is some conflict between lxen2216.exe
and SC. I don't connect to a windows network, but using LXTCP I
occasionally have problems, usually with ftp. If I reboot and
not start SC it works. I can then start SC and the problem is
there again. A hard reset will usually fix it, but a couple
times I have had to recreate SC's ems swap file. This doesn't
happen often, but I use it daily so it comes up once in a while.

I can't answer the "why" wither, but I would recommend to use the
built-in program serctl (I think it is in D:\bin) to switch the serial
port off.

Just put the line

d:\bin\serctl /o

into the autoexec.bat.
Another source of info about the serial port is

lots of info and useful links. ;-)

Yahoo! Offers free webpages at their Geocities domain. I have started
to setup my homepage at

http://www.geocities.com/hpstaber/index.html

and wanted to provide some Lotus 1-2-3 business spreadsheets. As it
looks I will have to translate them to Excel as most people come back
to me. They are unable to use the file import feature of Excel :(

I guess you know, all this can be done by LXPIC itself.
Lets assume, you downloaded a series of sattelite pictures to
the palmtop, named sat_01.jpg ... sat_15.jpg.

If you want to convert them to b&w PCX at half size, you only
have to issue

LXPIC sat_??.jpg/o-

This command converts all JPG fitting the mask sat_?? to b&w
PCX (command o) at half size (command -). Actually you may use
almost every command available as key within LXPIC as a
command line switch too.

If you now call

LXPIC sat_??.pcx/v

you see a video consisting of all the sat_??.pcx files playing
endless. You may change the speed with the '>' and '<' keys.

Ah, yes. Your message implied that you cannot upload Lotus WK1
files. I found Geocities, and opened a webpage and sure enough
could not upload lotus sheets to it using ftp/lx.

But I could not upload any other files either!

Ok, so the problem is not with spreadsheets, but with the ftp
server of geocities. Totally different problem.

I tried wsfpt and it woekd fine, so it seems some sort of
incompatibility between that ftp server and ftp/lx. I think
Andreas needs to know this.

No need to import the 123 sheete - just open them directly in
Excel - I do this often too! <G>

In Excel: File - Open - click on File Type at the bottom of
the OPEN window in Excel and select Lotus 1-2-3 files (*.wk?)
- now double click the desired .wk* file in the window and
keep your eyes on the screen. I just did it as I wrote it -
works nicely.

Yes: I own one.
It is DIP-switchable from 2400..115200 bps.
(see the pictures).
I have bought it at Segor Electronics. Don'T know the manufacturer,

But most of them are, AFAIK, fixed-speed (9600 probably, or 19200).

Avi,

Thanks for this info.  I knew that there had to be a way to install more
icons than the three generic ones that come pre-installed.

I had this exact problem on my unit and fixed it, and I fixed a
friend's too. Both cases were the result of dropping the LX. I fixed
it like how Daniel described, turn it over, open the battery door,
take out the battery, and press very hard on the plastic under the
battery, which is right behind the displaced hinge tube.

Thank you very much.
So many valuable information and hints.
I certainly make use of them.
Obviously I always stumble into my own traps:
The file I gave it a try with was unfortunately a 0kB file -
a name but no content.
Ftp tells me that it is transferred ok
but the host doesn't make anything out of it.
A new file with a few bytes in it made the difference.
But now I know what the commands are for.
Thank you all.

Daniel, thank you for your detailed
instructions!

It is the hinge tube itself that is out
2mm on the left side. (The hinge cat is
OK.)

I understood your explanation. The white
disc in the battery compartment is in the locked position. But I
can't lift the metal strip enough to
turn the disk to the unlocked position.
The metal is
fastned in both ends, right?

For now I
think I leave it as it is. According to
the "If It Works Don't Fix It"
philosophy.

But it is annoying to see the slanted
hinge tube.

A question: Do you mean the converter or do you mean the interface
directly at the printer?

If you mean the latter: parallel interfaces don't mind at which speed
the data come in.
If one byte comes, it is processed. If the next byte comes, this is
processed. No need to synchrinize (at least not for printer
application), because the receiving party knows how to combine all
data.

And since a parallel port is cabable to receive data at much higher
speeds than 115.200, the sender side doesn'T have to be limited in
spped in order to fit the requirements of the receiver.

You can, if you dare, press hard onto the tube, as Curtis suggested.
But do it with the necessary feeling!

A problem here is an efficient drop. You could string a couple of zener diodes
together to give you a constant 12.9V drop. Because of power dissipation in the
diodes, you would be just as well off to use a single cell (1.5V) flashlight (or
two cell with dummy cell) and charge cells externally. In other words, most of
your battery power will be used in heating the voltage dropping components.

Hi

I have a Rex and I can choose in the Win software if the information in
the Rex3 should be "master". You can get all info from the Rex3 into
the software in the Winmachine if you want. Not sure if the software
supports NT.

AFAIK you can not transfer the info of the Rex3 to the Hplx and read it
it there. But you can take a backup of the content on the Rex3 as a bin
file.

Hi Werner,


 Most internet providers are free in Spain( You pay
for a ordinary local call) so choose the one you
prefer:


www.wanadoo.es

www.terra.es

www.navegalia.es (Or call 607 100 151)

www.ya.com

  You need to be on-line to register. You can also go
to any computer store an ask for a free provider
CD-ROM.

If you have any problems feel free to e-mail me. I can
set the account for you if you cannot access the
internet or your spanish is not good enough to
understand the instructions in the registration
process.

Good luck,

Inigo

I used their WebWizard to create the main page. Everything else was
done with PalEdit on the palmtop and then converted to html. I had no

I know, I know. Such is the power of M$ that even educated people have

OK, I know our 200LX's are obsolete, and wil stay obsolete for the next 20
years or so, as long as we can collect spares. ( Wanna buy my second spare?
See related message).

But looking at AMD and Fujitsu  Datasheets of combined Flash/Sram makes me
dream.

http://www.amd.com/us-en/FlashMemory/ProductInformation/0,,37_1447_1664,00.h
tml
Put four of the , say AMD Am41DL64x08GT/B  64 Mbit Flash + 8Mbit Sram on a
board the size of the standard Memory Expansion. Write a decent Flash driver
or use the Msystems DiskonChip drivers...
And we have a 4MB Sram/32MB Flash very low power internal board, giving
another lease of life and freeing the PCMCIA slot for extra's.

Yeah, I noticed myself just yesterday when I used FTP/LX for the first
time in a few years.  It doesn't have (at least my old version 1.0) the
ASCII or BINARY commands.  It seems to default to the BINARY (also
called IMAGE mode) on startup.  So at least for your application it
should already be in the right mode.

This is off topic.  I hope no-one minds but I suspect this is a
good place to get an answer, with all the PCMCIA knowlege we
have here.

I gave my nephew who just started college an IBM Thinkpad 365xd.
This is a P120.  An older computer.  According to IBM it can
take 2 type 2 PCMCIA cards or 1 type 3 card.  I have another
Thinkpad just like it and my type 2 modem works fine in it.

My sister bought a PCMCIA network card from CDW but it won't fit
in the computer.  It's too big.  CDW told her it's a type 2
card.  She may be saying type II card.  She isn't sure.  But I
thought either one should work in a modern device.  I've never
had any problem with any PCMCIA card in any of the many
Thinkpads I've had over the years.  But I've never had occasion
to use a network card.

She's taken the computer to a couple of places (they're in
Arkansas) and they can't find a network card that will fit.
Modem cards seem to be no problem.  But he has to have a network
card.

CDW also tells her they don't have anything that will fit this
computer.

Does anyone have any ideas on this?  I'm at a loss.  My nephew
and my sister both think I'm the world's greatest authority on
things computer related and I can't let them find out the truth.
:)

Since this is off-topic it might be best to send any ideas by
private email.  The address follows my signature with DOTs and
ATs that have to be replaced.

You might check to be sure it is really a PCMCIA card, and not a
so-called "CardBUS" card.  We have found many newer network cards
are actually CardBUS, which has a similar mechanical package as a
PCMCIA card, but the connector is keyed differently so it won't fit
into a PCMCIA-only slot.  But the nature of the "misfit" is that the
card won't seat fully into the slot, not that it is too thick or wide
to slide into it.

Hope this helps,

there is a very useful program i run via moreexm called tasklist.exm (2866
bytes) - it shows all programs running and can terminate all, including
filer. It lets you run, close, close all, and terminate all programs with a
hotkey. I use it all the time.

The server does not allow *.wks or *.wk1 files to be uploaded - He
seems to know M$ file extensions only !! This just to make sure that no
other software than M$ is used.

Guess what : I renamed my *.wk1 files to *.xls (without actually
converting them) and the uploading process worked fine. When I checked
out the files from my homepage they loaded into Excel fine ;-)

Folks,

Forgive me if this is a repetition for you, but I had today
the second inquiry about troubles logging to Compuserve with
WWW/LX.

This began a few weeks back and resulted in an update of the
CIS script for WWW.EXE. The symptom is that one could notl
ogin to compuserve and the error message was a timeout while
waiting for something.

Here is the text of the FAQ item from
http://www.dasoft.com/tnt.htm#post:

-------------

COMPUSERVE DIAL UP

WWW/LX all versions, added 13 Sep 2001.

Recent problems with dialling in through Compuserve (CIS)
brought up several suggestions for improvements.

1.  Use the hardware flow control. This is generally affected
    by sending the modem "AT&F1".  This will vary among
    modems, so you are advised to check in the modem
    documentation.  Compuserve's modems seems to like this
    setting and will function with it better.

2.  We (in the D&A Beta) noticed that Windows comes with a
    script for CIS. In the salient portion of the script it
    differs from the default script provided by D&A
    Software.

    CIS.SCP - from Windows:

        transmit $USERID, raw
        transmit "/NOINT/PPP:CISPPP¬M"

    This in NOT the entire script!

    The comparable script portion from the CIS_Script in the
    WWW.CFG:

        e=3DSending login
        l=3D
        s=3D+/GO:pppconnect\r

    This in NOT the entire script!

    In both cases the userid is sent ("transmit $USERID, raw"
    in CIS.SCP and "l=3D" in CIS_Script), followed by the
    sequence to to tell CIS to login to establish a PPP
    connection "transmit "/NOINT/PPP:CISPPP¬M"" in CIS.SCP,
    and "s=3D+/GO:pppconnect\r" in CIS_Script.

    During the troubles dialling up from the Palmtop, the
    desktop connection kept working flawlessly using the same
    modem and the same number. And so we tried the desktop's
    script with modifications. Here is the modified script
    which works for me (Avi and for Tony and other
    participants in the Beta) without any problems.

        İCIS_Script¨

I didn't have real trouble when connecting to Compuserve from Spain a
few weeks ago with the old script, but applying this patch to the
script, which HP Staber sent to me (thanks!), made the login process
MUCH faster!

So I recommend to try it even if you don't have any troubles.

I think that the cardbus technology is to the PCI bus as the PCMCIA
technology was to the AT bus. Is this true?

Don't know about moreexm, but I just go to the Applications
Manager screen (the one with the icons, and press F8 - list,
which then shows me what you say moreexm does. F6 closes
applications. (BTW: the icon view show open apps with their
name in white on a black background.)

Lastly, a looong time ago, I read somewhere that moreexm can
close Filer only after Closeflr did it thing, or maybe it was
that it can close Filer even if Closeflr did not do its thing,
cannot recall. I prefer to not give up memory for
functionality that is already there. IOW, don't choose to run
moreexm for the benefit outlined here, that is too trivial and
can be accomplished with other, built-in, non-memory-using
facilities as I explained above.

Yes, everyone in the beta noticed that this script moves along
much much faster, but for me there was no difference in speed.
I did not add the speed item because the most important
feature in the script is that it lets you _connect_ <g>... The
extra few seconds gain is a bonus!

I think sooner or later everyone will have to use this, as it
seems Compuserve is moving their login servers to this script.
The modified script works even on the older login servers which
know to work with our old script, because the modified script
is a mirror (nearly!) of the CIS.SCR which was distributed
with the Win95 DUN. I believe that came out in 1995, about a
year before we came out with our WWW/LX and the CIS script.

I agree with your recommendation - just modify the script, it
is easy enough to do.

I'll look into our own facility to add scripts, in
WWWSETUP.EXE. I have not used it in years and do not quite
remember how it works! <g>  But this will make things easier

Not sure what it does to me..:-)

Is this legal? The webplace of HP is free, but they can not do things
like this can they?

If it was a paying service then they maybe could have been really
yelled at.

Subject:      Gloomy future for HPLX-L archives and LX-Mapblast
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

For  the last year the searchable HPLX-L list archives and the
LX-Mapblast pages have been running on a server located in my
home. Currently I am using Qwest DSL with OfficeWorks and static
IPs which is geared towards people running their own servers.

Now I am in the process of buying a house and have found that
most likely DSL is not supported in the neighborhood. I am
searching for other broadband providers that service the area,
but so far I have found that they: 1- do not allow servers,
2- No static ips, and 3- severely throttle the outbound speed.
The prospects do not look good.

I've checked out colocation services. Way too expensive. It
would be cheaper (about $80) to offer a friend free DSL and run
my servers from their home.

I have also looked into webhosting some. While rates for a small
site are quite reasonable (I've seen $10/month), a site the size
of the archives soon adds up to quite a bit.

I'm still hoping that I will be surprised and find DSL is now
(or soon) available at my new home, but I'm not holding my
breath. So, I'm looking for any suggestions.


Some information so you know what the requirements are:

The archives, indexes and supporting files currently are at just
under 1Gb. This could be pared down some, but would probably
still be in the 700-800 Mb range, if I did offsite reprocessing.

Traffic averages about 4000 page requests a day, but this varies
a lot. Max was about 30,000 in one day. About 1.4M in the last
year. Data transferred runs about 25-35 Mb/day.

The web pages require cgi-bin support, with perl.

The archiving and searching require compiling and installing
unix/linux compatible software.

The indexing process currently uses over 200MB ram memory while
it is running.

The mapblast pages require installation of a graphics utilities
package, and extra perl modules.

I also host archives for the omnibook mailing list and a
libretto mailing list. These are smaller, and actually I think
are included in the 1Gb figure above.


So, any suggestions would be appreciated, other than looking for
a different house. <g> It took too long to find this one. Of
course I may not get it so this may all be moot.

I hope that this will only be a temporary situation and that I
will once again have servers at home. (Oh crap, I'll have to
go back to using an ISP for email). If I don't come up with a
solution to keep the archives, etc. on line, I will keep them
updated in the hope that I can offer them again in the future.

Regards,
Mike Kopplin

I have a geocities website where I host updates for 200MNU & PNR

www.geocities.com/david_becher/index.html

I have never had trouble uploading my files, but I do it using Internet
Explorer, so it might be a problem with ftp as you say.

hi all,

being in Spain, I use a local Call By Call ISP called terra.es.
So far all o.k.. it seems that the number I got is even toll free from
my Hotel room.
The only problem I have is that the connection to the ISP sometimes
works sometimes not. The problem in detail:
I get a connection to the ISP modem 100%.
The connection speed I have set is displayed on the screen.
I tried all from 9600 - 115200 Baud, All of them work. (I use the 56K =
Pcmcia
Modem Card from EXP)
After the connect the LCP Dialog starts.
I see little arrows upwards and downwards on the screen.
sometimes this ends after about 6 or 7 arrows with a "done" message, but
sometimes it never stops until the connection is aborted.
If the LCP Dialog is successful, everything runs fine and I can
download and upload all my email as usual.
I use version 2 of www/post and the chap-script as provided.

and yes, I had the impression that the modem sounds different when a
connection will be successful or not - but this is just a faint
feeling, not sure about it.

cheers,
Werner

Hi Martin,

how about GPRS with the T39m?

My current contract is finished soon, so I have now the opporunity to
get a new phone for a cheap price (together with a new contract, of
course). I'm conidering if I should buy the T39m.

What about that driver and where can I get it from?

So long,

Werner, The last line of the Chap_Script is usually @=2. Maybe
try @=3, or @=1, whichever is best. Good Luck! Or possibly
LCPwait=2 might work in the WWW setup section for the ISP, but
maybe that is for version 3 only.

Did you check whether something liks "Sky-DSL" is available?
I don't know if it is the official name for this technology, or a
product name. It is DSL over satellite. So it should be available
everywhere (where the regarding satellites cover the area, in Europe
this is the eutelsat system).

However, IIRC the DSL line can only be used for the downstream, for the
upstrem you still may have to use a modem line. So it might be not
valuable for your server application. But rather check it out, I can be
wrong!

I hope you find as uitable and not too expensive solution for your
great services.

I seldom use LX-Mabplast, but when I use it, I really need it. ;-)
And the searchable list archives are a must!

Hi PIM/PE experts

is there a way to rebuild the PIM/PE indexes without letting pim stop
at every warning with "press a key"?

I want to do a pim -r in my nightly running batch file, but since I let
appointment book create a contacts.pim automatically, pim -r may stop
at some lines in contacts.pim which have strings PIM cannot interpret
correctly (for example opening times of stores, which PIM tries to
interprets as time stamps).

Hi,

finally after one year of grief, I got another 95lx :-)
Unfortunately it shows some strange behavior: even with a new set of main
batteries it keeps nagging me with the "main battery low" message on startup
(The batteries are new).
Is this a common problem (the 95lx I had before never did it) and how can I
get rid of it?

Hi

I tried to download some information from Financial Times Deutschland /
Market Watch. It is possible to download the startpage www.ftmw.de via
Roboweb. I can't download some share information using the request:
www.ftmw.de/tools/quote.asp?symb=3D662240
where 662240 is the sign for a german share (Mobilcom).
It seems to hang inside rweb2.scr, because Macromedia Flash is
required. The flash is part of a banner.

Yes indeed, there is only DOS working on older PCs. If you need a GUI
without internet access, you can try GeoWorks. The newest release is
called NewDeal, but the requirements are a 80286 or higher, and the
internet possibilities of Version 3.2a are very modest. The newest
NewDeal 2000 exists only in beta version. Seems, that the developing
enterprise (www.newdealinc.com) doesn't exist anymore. NewDeal is not =
free,
because GeoWorks Inc. still gets licence fee. Some german pages:
www.newgeos.de
www.fortunecity.com/meltingpot/bread/689 (that's mine)

It would be an interesting task to develop a multitasking GUI-DOS with
LX-style graphics without mouse working on 8086PC. There are sources
from GEM and Seal on the Internet. Very interesting is the starting
point of Arachne: A browser as GUI. These are my dreams...

Hi friends,

...or maybe it is a fault in my configuration.

To all find/lx users:
Please run chkdsk /f on your find/lx drive. Make sure there are no
drive errors anymore for the test.

Then please set Compress=0 in find.cfg and run find -r

Do another chkdsk /f.
No error should be displayed.

Now set Compress=1 in the cfg.
Run find -r again.
Run another chkdsk /f.

Are there now lost allocation units?

Here this is the case. And if I am not the only one who sees this,
I should send Andreas a bug report.

Thanks for testing!

Sorry for pointing out the obvious, but what about the previous site of the
archives?  I am under the impression that the archives are still there, but
only host the search engine.   If so, can it all go back there?  Just a
thought.

when i do a "close all" in tasklist.exm i get the topcard; if i want filer i
have to press two times. If i then do a alt/menu+q i get the topcard again.
If i want filer next i have to press only once. I assumed this meant filer

where can i download Basic Linux from ? which Steven has ?
MuLinux is not good .. its very good .. in fact excellent for its size ..
the guy
definitely has done a very very good job .. not only trimming down the OS
but also rewriting some parts reducing them to 5k from the original 50k size
!
It does provide in about 3 diskettes an amazing array of services !
with it its possible to set up entire web servers etc .. with email and web
page hosting .. i'm not derating the product or the guy's effort .. only
that
perhaps i don't need ALL the features ..

fully , wholeheartedly agree .. my ability to simplify by customizing the
configuration .. well to me, as of now, with almost no working knowledge
of linux .. it a bit difficult .. maybe over a short period of time when i
am
a bit more 'fluent' in the linux language .. as of now .. i'm pretty good in
dos ..

:-(  .. i agree .. but then so was dos .. quite difficult to understand
initially ..
but i did learn things like debug .. do surgery of boot sectors, FATs ,
directories , and of course com files ..

right .. true .. i agree

yes .. basically .. a very simple replacement of MSDos ver 6.22 ..
and later with a few capabilities like the good old lx200 provides ..
period !

browser and email in dos .. there are a few going around ..

let me outline the main reason for an alternative ..

we all keep hearing 'will not be supported henceforth' kind of bland
statements .. perfectly good OS (like dos 6.22) and WFW3.11 ..
usable .. small .. are now not only discouraged by MicroSoft .. but
if i want to buy Dos6.22 or Wfw3.11 .. no one is selling it at all ..

a very tiny linux is like an open resource .. always will be available
.. somehow the idea of my OS supplier FORCING me to abandon
something which is doing all that i want it to do just because it is
progress .. well i feel i'm being forced to surrender my bicycle for
a more costly battery operated environment friendly 'better' solution
.. at a much HIGHER COST ..

I may NOT want to do it .. certainly don'l like to do it .. i think you
get the picture ..

I hope we can find a solution. If not I am willing to chip in so that
we can rent space somewhere to have this archive online.

We can put the archives and LX-Mapblast on palmtop.net (or hplx.net) if
that would be a good solution.

Wouldn4t there be a market for a computer the size of
the Hp 200lx but using Advanced Micro Periphals' Tiny
886ULP motherboard, which boasts a Crusoe Processor
running at 600Mhz? The size of this board is just
slightly bigger than the Hp 200lx,but a smaller
version could be used with a less powerful processor
(200Mhz?).
Quoting from Transmeta's site:

Processor:           Crusoe  TM5x00
Processor Speed:     600MHz
Memory:        64/128 MB onboard and up to 256MB SDRAM

VGA:     -
Dimensions (WxH):  3.6 x 3.8 x 0.4 İin¨; 91.4 x 96.5 x
10.1 İmm¨

Advanced Micro Peripherals Ltd introduces the first
PC/104+ computer featuring Transmeta s ultra low power
Crusoe processor   the Tiny886ULP. With a standard 3.6
x 3.8 inch PC/104 form factor, the Tiny886ULP is 100%
compatible with MSDOS, Linux, Windows95/98/NT/2000/CE
and a wide range of RTOS such as QNX, VxWorks, pSOS,
etc.

The Tiny886ULP offers an unprecedented
performance/power ratio. The Crusoe processor is x86
compatible and provides computing performance with low
power consumption. In addition to standard peripheral
controllers for disks, Keyboard and Mouse, and serial
ports, the Tiny886ULP features Fast Ethernet
Controller capable of operating at 10/100MBits/sec.
The built-in FlashDisk option provides Hard Disk
emulation using M-Systems Disk-on-Chip (DOC).

Unlike other previous high performance solutions, the
new Tiny886ULP conforms to the PC/104+ footprint and
height allowing top and bottom stacking. With on-board
10/100MBit Ethernet and maximum power consumption of
less than 9 Watts at 600MHz, the Tiny886ULP provides
exceptional level of integration, performance/power
ratio for the widest range of embedded applications.
The low power consumption means that only a passive
heat sink is required for system cooling even at very
high clock speeds.

The Tiny886ULP provides unprecedented
performance/power consumption ratio and reliability
for embedded and wearable computer applications.

They have other versions of micro motherboards at

There are bad and good news about Jkit.

Bad news.
Okaya Systemware finished work.
So now Jkit isn't available even in Japan but shop stock.

Good news.
According to the information of niftyserve(Japanese BBS like Compuserve),
Authers of Jkit decided Jkit to be freeware.
In 2001 Jkit are free only in niftyserve and from 2002 Jkit will be free on
web.
The version of free Jkit will be 1.11.

I'll inform you any changes about Jkit.

Bye.

I somehow have created a problem when allowing Norton
System 2000 to diagnose/rebuild my ME registry. The
procedure started running and then everything locked up
tight.  After waiting about 20 min., I rebooted, knowing
that disaster was close at hand.

Upon bootup System Doctor reports low to med range of
CPU usage, when I access the dial-up (particularly during
"verifying name and password") CPU usage goes to 100%.

It will remain at 99-100% until I ctrl-alt-del and end task a
program - any program.  It is at 100% as I type this.  Still
works, but subject to blue-screen at any time.

I have tried end-task individual programs, and removed a few
suspect programs using Start-Cop, each time re-booting and
re-testing.  Also tried using ME's System Restore, it comes back
each and every time "unable to restore".

I put this thing together myself, and you'd think that sometime
during the 3 weeks it's been up and running I'd have created
some Rescue Disks.  Nope.  Too busy installing/configuring all
this stuff..

Am I looking at a re-format/startoveragain?  Is there an expert
out there who can tell me it's in the Registry and here's what
to do?  Is there a little task-bar utility that will flush/refresh
things and bring the CPU usage back to normal?

This system is Celeron 900, 256megs, Win ME, 20gigs. Any advice
would sure be appreciated.  I sure feel like a dumb-bell..

Hi all,

I hope this wasn't "addressed to death" in the recent past.

Just did an export of all the Pocket Quicken accounts I wanted to move from
my 200LX to my 100LX back up (recently unearthed my old installation of my
Quicken for DOS 6.0 and wanted to get it all current).

As far as I can see, the .QIF files were exported with only "01" in the
field for year. Quicken 6.0 interpreted this as 1901. It's *late* in 2001
and I'm just getting hit w/ Y2K :-(    ... 'Guess I'm a late bloomer....

Any filters out there to "dig" into my .QIF file and update the "00" and
"01" files to 2000 and 2001? Will Quicken 6.0 for DOS "handle" such an
altered .QIF file?

Is my only option to upgrade to a newer ver. of Quicken for DOS and where
could I find that, if that's the case?

TIA for any help.

--tim

PS. My goal is to run my accounts, in DOS, in Quicken, on a CF card on an
unmodified 100LX (my backup), so the 200LX can go to the shop, when it needs
it.

PPS. Would "Pocket Quicken for DOS" work more easily (as in a quick transfer
of the data file)? The import function took *forever* in an unmodified
100LX, did the second import by switching the CF card to the double-speed
200LX and THEN noticed the date problems.......

Gosh ! that was quick .. your reply i mean ..

btw i don't want to RUN thiny linux on the
lx200 .. the MsDos ver 5 and the built in
apps do a wonderful job .. i am using the
lx200 as an analogy for what kind of open
OS i would want .. i would NOT need my
OS to be able to be a internet server ..
and do ALL the SO MANY things that
MuLinux CAN do .. they are sooo many
in number .. it is truly amazing ..

but my needs are much more modest ..

tks 4 yr deep interest ..

c'mon guys .. stop looking (.. i don't like
the 'lurking' as a description for people
who are just 'informed' but do nothing
else) .. start typing .. let us others know
what you feel ..

there was some 'wish list' abt what
someone would like to see in another
Lx200 lookalike .. what would YOU want
in a replacement for YOUR Lx200 ?

Daniel,

Yes, most of satellite systems use modem for the upstream which
would not be adequate. I also regularly hear complaints from
people in the area using such systems that packet loss is
sometimes 50-60%.

I don't know yet about mapblast, but I think the archives won't
be a problem. I've received several offers of support and will
be weighing the pros and cons of each.

Best regards,

Bob,

I think this could be a very interesting option at some point.
But for now, it has too many problems. Tech support is said to
be very poor. It claims upstream speeds of 128k, but most people
seem to get 10-30k (that's slower than a modem). The company
Pegasus Broadband is working on it. And the satellite dish is
$700.

Interesting, but I don't think adequate for my purposes. Thanks
for the info.

Martin, pk, all,

Thank you for the offers, but that shouldn't be necessary. I
have had several people offer support, from hosting to
co-location, which I am considering. I think the gloom has

Here are a few different size distributions you can try.

http://www.technoir.nu/hplx/minix.html

And my sincerest apologies to Mack. A while ago he sent me the
last version of minix that he worked on to make available for
download. There are several changes from his last public
release. I was going to document the changes then put it on the
page above, but things came up and it slipped my mind. I will
try and make it available for download in the next few days. It
will only be in the original 40MB distribution though.

I am really not a Windows expert. But I seem to remember there was a
built-in backup feature which made a copy of the registry everytim it
is modified (at least in Win95 this was the case).

I think you can simply delete the corrupted registry files and windows
will restore the old ones when rebooting.

But since I am not sure I recommend not to delete them entirely, but
maybe renaming them or moving them onto a diskette.

Good luck

ATA flash cards:

there is a driver which let SUNDISK ATA cards work in 95lx. It won't work with any other ATA cards, because it detecs manufacturer of card. The same problem was with SHARP PC3xxx palmtop, but somebody cracked the driver...The problem of 95lx and other old
palmtops is, that they don't have socket services so only memory cards can be used. This driver somehow let the ATA card to work in memory mode.
So simple answer is only Sundisk. However there are many cards on market like CANON or some HAMA cards actually made by Sundisk. Everytime look at the back of card, with a small font there is a real manufacturer.

Hi friends,

...and nother problem with PIM/PE:

I have SC with 10 work areas.
I load alapim in my autoexec.bat before I load SC, so it is active in
all SC areas.

I have appointment book entries which start macros and a batch at
night, and in order to make this work they must have the alarm option
set.

Now, if such a macro shall be executed, SC switches automatically to
WA1 (system manager), but now it doesn't start the batch or macro, but
instead the normal alarm rings, and the alapim alarm also rings
simultanously (and the screen blinks).

I run these macros at 2am, so last night I ahve been waked by two
terribly alarm sounds directly besided my ear! :-(

How do other PIM users handle such things?

I have done this with one of my palmtops.
There is a little bit of space behind the PCMCIA slot under the left
hinge. David Sargeant has mounted a 2.5mm-mono connector there, I have
used another connector. I can send you a picture if you like.
I have managed it this way that I can insert a four-pin plug there
either in one position, then the internal speaker is switched on, or
turned by 90 degrees, then the internal speaker is switched off.

I have even connected the whole thing in a way that I can connect an
MP3 player (or walkman) simultanously and push both sources into one
head phone. I used it to create ring melodies for call phones with the
palmtop: I heard the original songs with an MP3 player and
simultanously could create the beep sounds with a music program on the
LX. I have done this in Vancouver last year :-)

I have copies of the old SunDisk drivers, which I can email to anyone who
needs them.

To further clarify the issue, the only SunDisk models stated to work with
the 95LX are the series SDP5, SDPL5, and SDP5A.

I believe that some old Maxtor linear flash cards will work in the 95LX
without drivers, but I have not verified this.

I use SDP5 series 10 and 20 MB cards in my 95LX (both SunDisk branded and
Epson branded). The cards seem to require good power, so I cannot write to
them when the batteries drop below about 2.5V. Reading/writing to the cards
also causes horizontal lines to flash across the screen (both on battery or
on transformer power). I don't know if this is a problem with 95LX's in
general or just with my unit.

ATA flash cards:

there is a driver which let SUNDISK ATA cards work in 95lx. It won't work
with any other ATA cards, because it detecs manufacturer of card. The same
problem was with SHARP PC3xxx palmtop, but somebody cracked the driver...The
problem of 95lx and other old
palmtops is, that they don't have socket services so only memory cards can
be used. This driver somehow let the ATA card to work in memory mode.
So simple answer is only Sundisk. However there are many cards on market
like CANON or some HAMA cards actually made by Sundisk. Everytime look at
the back of card, with a small font there is a real manufacturer.

Hi All:

  There seems to be a curious "feature" using POST/LX disrtibution
  lists. When I use "file:xxx.adr" in the TO field, and read the
  distributed message with POST/LX, the Subject field shows up as a
  "-"? Is this the case for everyone, or is it a result of my
  combination of SMTP & POP servers?

  BTW: this message was sent as a distribution list to serve as an
  example.

  Subject should read:

     "POST/LX Distribution Lists & Subject Header"


  Cheers...AJKind

Daniel,

Yes, most of satellite systems use modem for the upstream which
would not be adequate. I also regularly hear complaints from
people in the area using such systems that packet loss is
sometimes 50-60%.

I don't know yet about mapblast, but I think the archives won't
be a problem. I've received several offers of support and will
be weighing the pros and cons of each.

Best regards,
Mike

Bob,

I think this could be a very interesting option at some point.
But for now, it has too many problems. Tech support is said to
be very poor. It claims upstream speeds of 128k, but most people
seem to get 10-30k (that's slower than a modem). The company
Pegasus Broadband is working on it. And the satellite dish is
$700.

Interesting, but I don't think adequate for my purposes. Thanks
for the info.

Hi friends,

...and nother problem with PIM/PE:

I have SC with 10 work areas.
I load alapim in my autoexec.bat before I load SC, so it is active in
all SC areas.

I have appointment book entries which start macros and a batch at
night, and in order to make this work they must have the alarm option
set.

Now, if such a macro shall be executed, SC switches automatically to
WA1 (system manager), but now it doesn't start the batch or macro, but
instead the normal alarm rings, and the alapim alarm also rings
simultanously (and the screen blinks).

I run these macros at 2am, so last night I ahve been waked by two
terribly alarm sounds directly besided my ear! :-(

How do other PIM users handle such things?

Did you check whether something liks "Sky-DSL" is available?
I don't know if it is the official name for this technology, or a
product name. It is DSL over satellite. So it should be available
everywhere (where the regarding satellites cover the area, in Europe
this is the eutelsat system).

However, IIRC the DSL line can only be used for the downstream, for the
upstrem you still may have to use a modem line. So it might be not
valuable for your server application. But rather check it out, I can be
wrong!

I hope you find as uitable and not too expensive solution for your
great services.

I seldom use LX-Mabplast, but when I use it, I really need it. ;-)

Hi Al,

It seems to be your SMTP server which doesn't do the trick.
I use distribution lists with Post/LX and never get that.
But look at your quoted message:
The Subject is _in_the_message_, i.e. there is a blank line before the
Subject line. So maybe your distribbution list is currupt? So you
follow the strict syntax: one email address per line, and a carriage
return after _every_ (also the last) email address, but after the last
one, really ONLY ONE carriage return.

I have written a tool "pdb2adr" which can create distribution lists
from the built-in phone book (based on categories). Maybe try that. It
follows the rules.

hi all,

being in Spain, I use a local Call By Call ISP called terra.es.
So far all o.k.. it seems that the number I got is even toll free from
my Hotel room.
The only problem I have is that the connection to the ISP sometimes
works sometimes not. The problem in detail:
I get a connection to the ISP modem 100%.
The connection speed I have set is displayed on the screen.
I tried all from 9600 - 115200 Baud, All of them work. (I use the 56K =
Pcmcia
Modem Card from EXP)
After the connect the LCP Dialog starts.
I see little arrows upwards and downwards on the screen.
sometimes this ends after about 6 or 7 arrows with a "done" message, but
sometimes it never stops until the connection is aborted.
If the LCP Dialog is successful, everything runs fine and I can
download and upload all my email as usual.
I use version 2 of www/post and the chap-script as provided.

and yes, I had the impression that the modem sounds different when a
connection will be successful or not - but this is just a faint
feeling, not sure about it.

cheers,
Werner

II was trying to use a 512 MB Toshiba Flashcard in the HP200LX. It
does not work. In the net I found an articel where one wrote, that for
cards bigger than 220MB you need a special driver in the 200LX.
What about that driver and where can I get it from?

So long,

Sorry to bother everyone.

I'm looking a file, called JKITV11A.EXE. This was an update for the JKIT
japanese language kit for the 200LX. I tried going to the Okaya
Systemware's web site who made the software, which I tought was
www.osw.co.jp, but they don't seem to be up.

Would anyone happen to have a copy of this file? Many thanks in advance.

Hi friends,

did anyone put together a collection of common German holidays in
PIM/PE format?

I'm now in the process of setting up PIM/PE and I thought I ask before
I reinvent the wheel.

I am located in Berlin, so all the special Bavarian holidays don't
affect me ;-)

Hi All:

   Semms the LISTSERV software is a bit flakey. I6m not sure the

I have seen something stranger. I sent of a private mail the other day
about this. I have gotten mails to all my mailaccounts with messages
that seems to be from the Hplx-server, but with subjects that are not
from the Hplx-l but from a private list I am on.

Very strange. Al did you get my mail about this?

I just got dan lancini's ndispkt program
(http://www.danlan.com/working )on my windows 98 box. This program
allows you to have a packet driver API open under a DOS session while
still using the MS IP stack as your transport. This means that you can
run DOS packet driver based IP applications like PNR, www/lx and all
the cool WATTCP stuff on windows 98 using the native IP stack. You can
use all your windows networking stuff and dos networking stuff at the
same time. It also allows you to use www/lx with an ethernet card on
windows. This has got to be the fastest implementation of www/lx
possible... It's about as fast as IE and I can run them both at the
same time.


BTW: don't bother with the trial version as it is so limited that you
can't tell if it's working or not. I got the registered version for
$15 and it works!

Sounds cool, any idea if it would work under W2k?

Also, can anyone tell me if WWW/LX will run on the HP200LX over a PCMCIA
ethernet connection?  (i.e., the Accton EN2216-1)

Can anyone quantify the difference between the Sandisk 128 MB CF card and
the 160MB CF Type 1and the 192MB CF .
There seems to be 2 types of CF card. Compact Flash and Compact Flash Type
II.

see http://www.sandisk.com/consumer/cf_card.asp

"Available in two sizes: CompactFlash and CompactFlash Type II. Consult your device manual for compatibility "

Are both suitable for the 200lx or are we mimited to the Type 1?

TIA

hi Marsh !

tks 4 yr post !
i am in Calcutta .. its now called Kolkata ..
a bit more bengali like !
i'm in south calcutta
yes .. linux is taking off .. in a big big way ..
for one .. its FREE .. for another its OPEN
SOURCE .. and finally there are NO STRINGS
ATTACHED !
with microsoft .. its become a real pain ..
pay for this .. pay for that .. won't support
earlier OS'es .. won't support even W9x,
WMe, W2k .. even if you buy them today !
Too much .. this is really silly..
i came across some posts .. they have
give a big beating to some users of Wfw3.11
on machines which were 'donated' away ALONG
with the Wfw3.11 ..
the reason was .. transfer of ownership of
Wfw3.11 is not allowed .. sale of a new
packer of Wfw3.11 is not possible ..
stange that USE of OLD yet LEGALLY
purchased Wfw3.11 will not be allowed
to a new owner of the SAME computer on
which Wfw3.11 was installed !

Its like forcing new owners not to use even
donated computers for not for profit work !
only option .. you can't sell your old computers
unless you erase the Wfw3.11 .. really
convoluted thinking .. its NOT piracy .. just
LEGAL use of an OLD and GOOD program !

That's worrying .. and forcing even an old time
user .. almost an expert user .. to look for a
suitable linux to replace dos6.22 and the
Wfw3.11 with which i am very very happy !

Oh yes ! i've found tons and tons of linuxes ..
the type i want ..

there was a post even in this forum .. someone
had successfully run a distro of linux on an
lx200 !

hp200 has excellent built in apps .. and the
built in dos5 OS .. and is an excellent machine ..
but .. but .. linux CAN do things that Dos cannot
even dream of .. its realy sooo powerful ..
wow !

hi guys !

this is a nice thing .. my question was 'wish list'
for an hplx200 .. what it could be .. what one
would want it to be ?

Martin's msg just abt sums up our sentiments ..
just let is be what it is .. its enough .. its good ..
its sufficient ..

and martin says the same for the guys that make great
program ..

what a tribute .. to the lx .. to the stephans, ians, daniels
.. the world salutes you ..

Now ..

there is a chance to move a bit fwd .. a milimeter ..
nanometer .. picometer or even a femtometer ..

no harm in budging .. just a bit ?

so here's me again asking ALL of you .. again ..

WHAT WOULD YOU WANT  A NEW HPLX200
TO BE ? FEATURES .. HARWARE ..SPEED .. APPS ..
SOFTWARE .. CAPABILITIES .. SHAPE .. SIZE ..
KEYBOARD .. MULTIMEDIA .. VIDEO .. SOUND ..
CELLULAR LINK .. WWW LINKING .. IR .. CABLES ..
PORTS ..

a bit of more of something .. and a bit lesser of
something maybe ? (weight, size, battery limits)

Hp has stopped making this good product better ..
they've shifted to the CE .. etc .. models which are ..
ugh !

so why not at least start thinking abt what they
should have done .. and stating it .. who knows ..
one day some of us even may make it happen !

wanting to join the band ? .. stand up and be
counted    :-)

This may be the start of a new GNU like approach
in the hardware area .. I AM interested .. very !

dos is history Michael .. so is old Windows .. so are a lot
of things ..

you are from a different 'family' .. understandable .. but
one DOES use Pentiums altho many many of us are very
very satisfied with the 80186 of lx200 ..

don't let your love for Dos,Novell,Pascal,Delphi tie you
down so much ! none of these are opensourced .. linux is !
and with the change in posture of Microsoft .. we might
have to start looking at alternatives ..

from what i've seen so far .. linux is very suitable ..
its sad that most linux companies are doing badly ..
its a 'free, nothing charged basis' that gets them into
this mess .. yet .. a public library is a good place to
get a Shakespeare to read than a brand new copy
from the book shop .. too costly .. so is linux .. easy
to get and use .. no charge .. than to BUY an OS ..
apps .. and then discover that the apps own upper
version forces the discarding of the apps own lower
version ..

i call this a no competition need syndrome .. all these
s/w h/w don't need no competition .. they compete
very well with themselves .. who is Microsofts
biggest competitor .. Microsoft ! It make its OWN
products unviable .. so is the story with IBM Toshiba
Hp Panasonic Sony Palm Psion .. execpt a never heard
of AGENDA  from UK ..

each of these companies SUCCESSFULY make
obsolete their OWN models ..

Agenda was obsoleted by others .. a marvellous
product (if you really want to know .. i'll tell the
tale later .. this tale has become long enough !)

It does.

Simply put a section İether¨ or so in www.cfg which looks like

İether¨
Ether=1
Port=1
OmniGo=0
PPP=1
FIFO=1
Modem=1
Baud=19200
My_IP=172.16.96.7
;10.10.10.5
Peer_IP=172.16.96.1
;DNS_IP=130.149.4.20
DNS_IP=217.5.100.1
DNS2_IP=194.25.2.129
Script=CHAP_Script
Login=LOGIN
ModemInit=AT&F
Dial=00000
Password=PASSWORD

Peer_IP is the name of the computer you want to connect to (usually
a gateway), My_IP has to be a free IP in the gatewy's subnet,
DNS_IP must point ot a valid DNS address, DNS2_IP (optional) too.
Login and Password can be anything, AFAIK, and ModemInit, Baud and
Modem are probably not needed ;-) Don't know why I have them in my
İether¨ section.

I run it with a Linux box, which is connected via a DSL line to my ISP.
Peer_IP is my Linux box (the private subnet address, not the IP address
I get from the ISP), and I have set up IP masquerading on the Linux
box.


Works _very_ fine, very fast, very cheap.

Note that you can easily use the mechanism from SETCOM.BAT (which you
should use when you sometimes connect via ethernet and sometimes via
modem / cell phone or so) also when disconnecting. Simply put
PostOnline=postonl.bat in your post.cfg İsystem¨ section and create a
batch file postonl.bat which look like this:

@echo off
rem look if ethernet connection is established (=lan card in slot)
lxcic>NUL
if not errorlevel 6 goto nolan
echo LAN card detected. Disconnecting...
dis.com
c:\dfu\lxeth\termin 0x66
goto common

:nolan
echo no LAN card detected. Not disconnecting.
echo Disconnect manually as usual with Menu-X-X-D
goto common

:common

In general, yes.
Type 1 is 3mm and type II is 5 mm thick (as the corresponding PCMCIA
types).
Type I are the common CF card we all have used so far.
Type II needs a special adapter, which comes e.g. with the IBM Microdrives.
I don't know where to get only the adapters, though. But I think
Sandisk should sell them, if they sell the type II CF cards.

Yes, it works well with the Accton card. You just have to know how to

Hi.  Yes, I would really like to see a gadget that
would fit in a pocket, and which would have certain
ports:  a keyboard port, a VGA port, 2 serial ports,
a parallel port, a mouse port, possibly a USB port.

My original idea was to find a way to build a device
about the size of a Palm Pilot, with a hard disk and
several ports.  The problem is that getting data into
and out of this would require special connections and
software.  Using a Zip drive as the core of the device
provides instant relief for this.

I don't have the design skills for the hardware, but
I have a good idea of how it should be implemented.

For example, power should be supplied via a source
that's compatible with battery, so that the Zip drive
power brick can be used, a car adaptor can be used,
or a generic Radio Shack adaptor can be used.  It
should NOT have a custom battery.

It should use low-power components -- this is more
important than speed.  It should be designed so that
if the drive component fails it is easily replaced,
for example with the internal IDE version of the
drive.

The object of all this is a light, portable, easily
interfaced computer which can be plugged into generic
components.  It is not intended to be a laptop or
notebook computer replacement.  I can imagine having
some kind of lightweight docking station which would
include a small flat screen and keyboard similar to
that used in a laptop/notebook, but it should be
independent of this, making it possible to simply
take it somewhere, connect peripherals, and use it.

The only way this is viable is if it is CHEAP.
If it's expensive, then there is no point to doing
it at all.  We already have laptops and notebooks
for about $1,000, so this would have to be $200
or so to have a chance.  It could be done as a
project kit:  "Turn your Zip drive into a computer
for $200" or something like that.

As you can see, the ideas are still in the creative
state, and nothing is concrete.

How would you go about bringing this into being?

Hi friends,

I have set up a list of German holidays in PIM/PE format.
It is a quite long list, and it may still contain some errors.

Germans, please, even if you don't use PIM, have a look at the list and
tell me if you find an error!

Thanks to Andreas' Easter calculation algorithm, it is possible to
"implement" many of the variable holidays as relative to Easter.

Please look especially if you find errors in the kind of the holiday
(katholisch, evangelisch) and in the enumeration of the Bundeslaender
they apply to.
The repetition parameters (behind the date in the "+(" lines) should be
quite self-explanatory, even for non-PIM users.
"y" means yearly, "Easter" means yearly at Easter.

Once you have helped me eliminating all errors, I will pubish the list,
either on my homepage or on the D&A homepage or directly in the PIM/PE
archive (have to ask Andreas if he wants this).

If you are only looking for a GUI that operates over DOS and the LX's
built-in and .EXM applications. Look at X-Finder.

It started out as an icon-based substitute for the Filer application, but
X-Finder has grown to a full GUI with single and double window displays,
icon assignment by file extension, a desktop ("palmtop"), a trash can, a
mouseless cursor, long filename support, full directory (folder) and file
management, application launching (directly or by file type), built-in
browsing and manipulation of .ZIPs, .LZHs or .ARCs (archives are treated
like folders), built-in macros, built-in client/server functions and more!

You can download X-Finder from S.U.P.E.R., from
http://www.ne.jp/asahi/alpha/beta/xf/index.htm ... or from the author's
Webpage at http://www.estyle.ne.jp/gaku/ . I recommend Version 11 Beta 13,
as it is the most fully-featured and apparently quite stable.

Oh yeah, X-Finder also supports "themes" -- with the appropriate icons,
window frames, desktop wallpaper and cursors -- so it can look like your
favorite desktop GUI. Icon sets, window frames and desktop wallpaper for
Windows, MacOS9 and MacOSX are available from Japanese page
http://homepage2.nifty.com/Sierra/hp200lx.html. Icon sets for Windows 95,
MacOS8, BeOS and IRIX are also available on S.U.P.E.R. Within the next two
weeks, I will make available full theme sets (icons, windows, desktop and
cursors) for Win 9.x, MacOS9, MacOSX, BeOS, IRIX, Gnome, KDE, NeXT, QNX
(Photon), OS/2, OLWM, CDE and maybe Amiga!

Subject:      GDBLoad Problem

I have a question about GDBLoad.exe that I have been unable to resolve by
referring to the HPLX-L archives on the subject.  When I try to convert an
ASCII file to .gdb format, I get the following error:
              gdbload(0): can't read database

The general consensus from the comments in the HPLX-L archive seemed to be
that either the fields in the text file were not properly enclosed in
quotation marks or that the input files were too large.  So what I did was
take a small .gdb file and convert it using gdbdump.exe and then take the
output from that process and feed it back into gdbload.exe, but this
generated the same error.  Any ideas from the group would be appreciated.

Are these only wallpapers or is X-Finder really mouse-operable and
integrates some Windows-like features?

These themes look interesting. Not that I must have Windows on my LX,
but maybe this is good for people who come from the Windows world and
don't have so much experience with command line OSs.

If I remember right, gdbload requires that you manually create an empty
database beforehand, with all the right fields.  gdbload then just
populates it with the converted data.  It may just be complaining about a
missing "target" gdb if you didn't create it.

Also, after gdbload completes and you try to open the gdb (if you get that
far), you usually get an error message (I forget again the specifics), but
which is easily corrected by going to F6 (subset) to create a subset of All
Database Items.

Hi Nathalie,

Easiest way without modifying the LX is to drive the amplifier
through a resistor divider from the serial port!  You may not
even need a program.  Though I haven't tried it, you might
be able to schedule a macro to start the built-in data comm
and start sending a big file.  The resulting Tx signal on
the serial port should make some audiable sounds.

Best Regards,
Alfred

You give me an excellent idea: With a small modification, one could use
pin 10 of the serial port, which is actually used for shielding ground
(and can probably be replaced by pin 5, signal ground), to lead out the
speaker signal.

Only thing to worry about is the ground for the speaker signal. If it
is identical to the RS232 signal ground pin 5, no problem.
If it is not, I have to think a few more minutes.

I'll make some measurements soon. It is better to use an existing
connector than to add another one!

Hi friends,

I have the impression that the HPLX-L does not work properly.
I see replies to messages I have never received.

So please, until Al announces a successful solution, if you reply to
one of my topics (holidays for PIM, speaker connections etc), CC it to

Thanks a lot

I _strongly_ recommend all Siemens S35i users to upgrade their phone to

I recently upgraded from Version 05 to version 20 and I have MUCH LESS

This was a known problem with some 95's that HP was at one time fixing,
even after warranty ended.  I would doubt that they still fix it but you
might try contacting them.  I'm not sure that I ever read what caused
it.

Sometimes removing all of the batteries (including backup, so BACKUP all
of your data) for a few days would "fix" it.  So you might try removing
all batteries and pressing and holding the ON button to discharge any
capacitence???  Or remove the batteries and let it sit for a half week.

good luck

Hi Daniel,

Just add two capacitors to each of the two wires to the amplifier
to block the D.C. should do it:)

The database doesn't have to be empty - it will replace the data in an
existing database, or it will append if you use the "-a" switch. But
you have to specify the *existing* GDB (or PDB) file on the command
line, like this:

  gdbload myfile.gdb newtext.txt

In this example, myfile.gdb must already exist. Could this explain the
problem?

Joe,

I just went through this ordeal a couple months ago.  I bought a Type II
SanDisk 160 MB Compact Flash, but made the mistake of buying a Type I
adapter - definitely not interchangable.  I checked with SanDisk, based on
the assumption that "Sandisk should sell them, if they sell the type II CF
cards," but they said that they only make the Type I adapter.  However, some
other list members pointed me to the right place to buy the right adapter.

Here are a couple of sources:
         http://www.microtechint.com/qs-cfIIadp.html
         http://www.provantage.com/
I bought mine from the first source, and have been happy with its quality.

Hi Daniel,

Virtually all Windows-like features are supported by the keyboard. No mouse
is required, though I imagine one could be used with the aid of a TSR that
substitutes mouse signals at the serial port for key strokes. The mouse
pointer is already animated to make it look like it is moved by a mouse,
not by keys.

In X-Finder, the mouse pointer is moved from icon to icon by the cursor
keys, and also by the İTab¨ key to jump between windows. Pressing İEnter¨
on an application icon starts that application (.COM, .EXE, .BAT or .EXM).
Pressing İEnter¨ on a file icon opens that file, using the application
designated for that filetype in the preferences. (If no application is
specified, the file is opened in the viewer application designated in the
preferences.) Pressing İShift¨+İEnter¨ on a file icon opens that file,
using the editor application designated in the preferences. Pressing
İEnter¨ on a folder icon opens the subdirectory which that folder
represents. The top left icon in each window is ".View Up", and pressing
İEnter¨ on that icon opens the parent directory. Pressing İEnter¨ on an
archive icon (.ZIP, .LZH or .ARC) opens the archive as if it subdirectory,
showing the files within. Pressing İSpace¨ on any icon(s) selects it(them)
for file manipulation, such as deleting, or copying or moving between
windows -- even if the item is inside an archive. Pressing İCtrl¨+İA¨
selects all icons in a window.

And most of the above can be customized to suit your tastes!

The only big difference here between X-Finder and Windows is that the
windows cannot be moved or resized. You can see one full-screen window (640
x 200 scrollable with up to 8 icons at a time), two half-screen windows
(each 320 x 200), or no window in which case the desktop (called "palmtop")
is shown. This allows X-Finder to use static images to represent the
windows. Oh, there are other big differences between X-Finder and Windows:
X-Finder is several times faster, uses only 39K of RAM, and only crashes if
you really deserve it!

All in all, I find X-Finder very simple and intuitive to use, and I'm sure
folks who aren't comfortable with command lines would love it.

Does anybody know, what they fixed? I still have the "motherboard" of my old
95lx (that never hat that problem). Maybe I just have to exchange some
parts?

I will NEVER EVER contact a HP repair-center again. The guys in the german
repair-center ruined my first 95lx (but that's another, sad story). So
sending it in for repair is not an option for me.

I will try that. Thank goodness I'm not that addicted to the lx like I was
before (I never left the house without it *g)

Win ME seems to have a lot of problems. One of them is a memory leakage
problem.  When you close a file or application, it does not always
recover the memory used so that after a few hours heavy duty usage, even

with 256MB RAM, you may get "Out of Memory" messages. You have to reboot

to continue working. Microsoft are supposed to be working on a patch.

Since the 95LX has DOS 3.22, it can only handle flash cards (CF or regular)
of 32MB or less. Using Stacker doesn't get around this problem, but would
limit you to a 16MB card (stacked to 32MB).

It has been reported in the list that CF cards will draw about 22mW power
even when the LX is turned off, so they would need to be removed when not in
use to prevent battery drain.

I have not used CF cards in my 95LX, so I can't comment on which brands are
best.

Again, I have SunDisk Flash card drivers and utilities if anyone needs them.

Hello,

I have several questions on that topic:

What CF-sizes can a Hp 95lx handle?
And where can I get the needed drivers for CF-Cards?
What brands work, what brands are to be avoided?

regards,
Oliver

I use efax.com to receive faxes in my email box as .tif files. I can
then view them using lxpic.

I've had good results using QFax (on SUPER) to send faxes from my 200LX.
Getting it registered was a major gall bladder operation, and I doubt
it's even possible anymore.  I've been totally unsuccessful getting QFax
to work with my 14.4k PCMCIA modem, but it works well with my 9600 baud
unit.

I too have had good success using QFax, and unlike the prior post, it works
fine with my 14.4 PCMIA modem (Megahertz X-jack), at least at 9600 baud.

Concerning this recent set of questions for the 95LX, what would the
answers be for the 200LX?

I wasn't successful in registration and setting up ssfaxer properly.

I am using BGFAX. I am running a hp200lx as fax server in the network.
It works fine and flawless.

Also I use bgfax for sending and receiving faxes on the road.

In the meantime it is freeware.


Kind regards

Oh, if you have another motherboard - exchange the whole motherboard!
It is definitely a failure on the motherboard, so if the old one works
good, you can simply exchange it and you're done.
I did that often before with 200LXs and 100LXs.
Should be fairly easy.

I have exchanged my first 200LX about 3 times within the warranty. HP
worked together with the company "TomTech" here in Germany. Within a
few days after my phone call, a UPS or DPD guy came along, brought me
a new or like-new machine and took the old one.
Everytime a good service.

The reason why I exchanged so often was a bug in the software (which
all German 200LX have, but I didn't know that at that time). Not a bad
bug, but slightly annoying.

I installed it on the computer of my father in law. He called me twice

Yes. Please see http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/mob_hplx
There is a fax section which describes my fax setup.
I use a combination of 2bgfax (for converting text and pcx to fax) and
qfax (to send the fax).

Here qfax works fine with both a 9600 baud mobile phone (19200 on
phone-LX connection) and an Elsa Microlink 56k.

I didn't register, so I just press enter when qfax asks for the reg-no.
No problem.

This is good to know.  When I started using QFax I tried a number of
different initialization strings to get my 14.4 Megahertz modem to go
at 9600, but it always seemed to revert back to 14.4 when running and
wouldn't work.  Could you share with us what your setup is for this?

Thanks!

I use VIEW from BJGuillot's BGFAX for TIFF files. I know of no
converter for XLS. There is a DOS program which converts older format
PDF files, but you are better off sending the PDF to a website (search
archives for URL) for TXT conversion.

BTW there is a nother program alcced "VIEW" by Malcom Drury which does
convert WORD, WP, and other word processor formats (see S.U.P.E.R.)

I had this problem with my 95lx about 2 years after the warranty
ended.  I called them and told them I had heard the repair for
this was free.  They wouldn't discuss that.  Their answer was be
prepared to pay for the repair.  ( think it was $187 back then).
I sent it in, hoping for the best.  They fixed it (replaced the
motherboard) and sent it back no charge.

So I suspect that calling to ask them won't help you find out if
they'll still fix it free.  I'd guess you would still have to
send it in and take your chances.  I doubt that your chances of
getting it free are that good this far down the road, but who
knows.  It's probably cheaper to buy a used one now.

The problem is that you won't know when your batteries are
really dead.  But if you can track that yourself and the problem
doesn't irritate you to death, it shouldn't really affect the
operation of the 95lx.

That's the motherboard of the 95lx they destroyed in the PH repair center. I

I had a broken display on my first 95lx. It still worked, but there was only
a small portion of the screen that was not shattered. So I called HP and
sent the 95lx to them. About 2-3 months later I got it back with a small
note, that displays for the 95lx are (currently?) not available. The 95lx
was in the same condition it was in when I shipped it to HP. The only
problem was, that these %$'*#'! removed the batteries (which I was supposed
to keep in the 95lx) an put them back in the wrong way. So when I got it
back, the batteries had leaked and destroyed the battery-contacts, the
speaker and parts of the keyboard :-( Thank you, HP.

regards,
Oliver

Does anyone have need of or can use these:

You are bidding on 2 Agilent Wave Viewer PCMCIA cards for HP 200LX palmtop computers. These cards
WORK GREAT and they should because they are only 1 year old. The part# is M2605-73102 option 1M1.

PS These are the control cards to allow a 200lx to interface with a Veridia UHF Telemetry system to monitor cardiac function. (I think) :-)

=2E..If the HP95 is still serviced...

Some years ago, all HP products were supported up to five years after
the the last unit was sold.

If I remember, the HP95 ended in 1993. Do anyone had one serviced by HP
after 1998 ?

I'm not into electronics to have much idea but would guess it has
something to do with the power circuitry and not necessarily the
motherboard.

I'm not sure if anyone at thaddeus (aka palmtoppaper) knows what the
real problem was.

I knew quite a bit (at one time) but never actually heard details on
what the problem was.  If I recall it would occur only after lack of
power for a while - in other words, as long as batteries were changed
regularly and it did not lose power, the problem would not occur.  I
recall that it only occurred for folks who had not used the unit or had
the battery die?????  But I may not recollect fully! (g)

Sorry to hear that and good luck with the unit.

If you were to use www.thaddeus.com to do the repair AND you purchase their
extended warranty, these problems will be covered.

I'm in that spot right now. I got the "crack". I'll be sending my 200LX in
for a "no-charge" repair.

If sure feels good right now. Don't want the problem, but at least it will
be fixed.

I'm not sure if this has been commented on or not; if it has, please ignore
this redundant post.

Item 1: You only need a capacitor or capacitors in ONE of the two lines.
Typically this will be the signal line as opposed to the ground.

Item 2: You only need two capacitors if you're using polarized capacitors
(tantalums, most electrolytics, etc.).  If so, you want to put them in
series and front-to-back (i.e., either put the two + sides together or the
two - sides together).  If you use a non-polarized capacitor you only need
one.

Item 3: It sounds like we're talking about banging a signal out of the
serial port.  If that's the case, you're not going to have much usable in
the way of low frequencies anyway, so there's really no point in using a
large capacitor.  (You also don't need a large cap if you're driving a
relatively high impedance amplifier input.)  Probably a .1 uF disc will
give you all you need, and it'll be cheaper that way as well.

Let us know how it goes!

Cheers,
Rick

As an American I can say that I am damned mad!  Tomorrow I will be

leaves behind her husband and two childred aged 6 and 8. She worked in
the south tower, the first one hit. They found her body a week ago.

Death to terrorists everywhere!!!!

And to all that don't like how America responds to this attack, go to
hell. We don't care what you think any more. Don't cry to us about
innocent victims. We know about that I assure you. This act will not
go unanswered.

How do you do it? Do you spell-check and use the learn feature, or do
you edit the list file directly?

Would you share your file which you have collected so far?

Yes. Ring.com still shows much EMI during the connection to the base
station is established, but once it is established, EMI drops to almost
zero if the phone is more than abt 5 cm away from the LX.

But this seems to be different depending on the immediate surrounding
of the arrangement (material of surface on which the devices are, or
whatever...

Because in some locations I still get much EMI interference with the
new software version.

What REALLY helps in such a case is the trick someone mentioned here
about half a year ago (Tomas Moberg, I think):

Hold the phone with your right hand during the whole connection that
way:
palm of hand onto display, 3rd anf 4th finger around the phone (above
the display) to little under the antenna connector on the back.
That way the EM waves surrounding the phone seem to be bundled in a way
that the LX isn't affected anymore.
It is a little bit of an acrobatic exercise, but if ou need a reliable
connection in a surrounding which causes too much EMI, you should try
that.

I have now ordered the Ericsson T39m and I am curious what benefits it
brings (especially regarding the EMI problem). I hope that it sill
arrive in one week or so.

Maybe you could carry a piece of aluminum foil to wrap around the

Hello everybody!
I need to buy a digital zooming camera, and thought I might

I already have a non-zooming Polaroid digital that takes an
excellent portrait-type picture, but it doesn't do so well on the
close-ups.  I need one that will take excellent close-up shots.
Little stuff like the details of a coin or a piece of jewelry.

I am limiting myself to $500 on this, and ideally I will spend
$200 to $300..  Then I can take the wife out for a nice dinner
or weekend in Laughlin with the change.  Then she won't be

Thanks and g'day!

Hey Tommy,

The kind of pictures you want to take normally require a macro lense. I have
a Kodak DC4800 with two macro lenses that let me take excellent close up
photos. I know the price of the DC4800 has been falling on Ebay. If that's
still not low enough for you, then you have to research other lower cost
digital cameras that sell macro lenses as an attachment. Here's the link to
the lenses for the DC4800.
http://www.kodak.com/US/en/digital/accessories/lenses/ektanarCloseUpLens.jht
ml

What does this have to do with the 200LX. Idunno! Only that the 200lx really
has a hard time with the huge photos generated by the DC4800. If you want to
view the images on your 200LX, then you'll need to take smaller pictures!

Mike...

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

While I bought WWWLX 3 I'm still using v2 because I'm too lazy
to switch (yet).

The problem I have with Post/LX 2.2g (and previous releases) is
when scrolling the highlighted line pointer down through posts
in mail, ng, or a folder. When the highlite bar reaches near the
bottom of the screen it will sometimes jump over a line and
highlight the next one.  If I hit enter at that point Post
selectes the correct item, not the highlighted one.

I can't describe exactly how to cause this to happen and when I
try to force the conditions it doesn't happen so there must be
something I'm missing.  It does happen often though.

Has anyone else seen this behavior?  Can it be fixed?

Cheers... Russ

I vaguely remember something like that, a long long time ago.
Maybe related to having a folder sorted? Probably fixed by a
re-pack.

Ah, that's good :)

I am pretty sure v3 does not exhibit this. So, I recommend
inserting your codes for v3 in your WWW.CFG and POST.CFG and
using the latest WWW.EXE and POST.EXE :)

Well, there is an add-on for MSWord that allows you to save a text/HTML file
as an MS Reader compatible (.lit) file. I would suspect it would allow one to
open a .lit file then save it as a .txt file. I believe I saw it on the
Microsoft site after initiating a websearch. I believe it was a meg or less.

Russ, I can't help much except to say that I'm also using 2.2g, all day
every day and have never had this problem. My unit is double speed with
Post/LX running in a software carousel session. Also running DOS only
Buddy in the background. Every "funny" behaviour I've ever had with
Post/LX I've traced back to Buddy. If you're running any TSR's, try
taking them out for a while.

I'm using WWW/LX v3, I've seen this happen as well. It certainly
doesn't happen regularly, I can't remember the last time. I repack or
reindex and all seems well again. Some of my inbox files are a little
on the fat side, some are up around 1.5 meg.

Yes, I have also seen this behaviour.
I don't recall if I was able to fix it. I now have v3 and it doesn't
appear anymore.

I sometimes have had problems when using PIP for packing the email
files. Some pointer problems, so that wrong mails have been opened when
pressing enter on a highlighted mail.

I now use PIP only when the disk space is insufficient, otherwise I use
the built-in packing routines (but only manually with ¬P and ¬R).
And WHEN I use PIP, I do a ¬P ¬R when PIP is finished. No problems
anymore.

I can highly recommend the Casio QV8000SX for that.
- Two resolutions: 1 Megapixel and VGA.
- Zoom: 8* optical and 4* digital
- macro shots (with the same lens as all other photos! No need to
switch) until a few mm behind the lens!
- aperture and shutter seed manually adjustable
- takes CF card (I usually use a 64 MB Sandisk which takes ~80 photos
with the high resolution and 400 photos with VGA resolution.
- Works with 4 AA Alkalines or rechargeables
- You can use standard 43mm-filters with the lens
- built-in flash

Almost all pictures on my home page are taken with this camera. Look
especially on the electronics close-ups!

Yes, we have had a Xybernaut at university (although it was Win98, not
WinCE) for demonstration purposes.
It was the bigger one on
http://www.xybernaut.com/newxybernaut/Solutions/product/matc_product.htm
Funny thing, especially the little "virtual" screen is nice, but you
have to get used to it until yu can effectively use it.

the main unit is bigger than the HPLX (about twice the volume), you
have to wear the headset with headphones, screen and microphone and a
battery pack, which is again the size of the HPLX.
You look really like an alien then. The professor said, we should make
a presentation for our project sponsors wearing this thing, but we
rather used normal PCs for this presentation! ;-)

But then you are ready to use Windows 98 on the road and you could
theoretically open a DOS windows and run a palmtop emulator in it to
use WWW/LX (with wireless LAN or GPRS / HSCSD. That Xybernaut we used
was a 400 MHz Intel machine with 128 MB RAM.

You can even install Linux or a pure DOS on the Xybernaut. It is a
standard PC with PCMCIA slot and all common interfaces.

If you have to entry data a lot via kayboard, you need the wrist
keyboard which is mounted on the left wrist so that you can use the right
hand to press the keys.

Hm - probably easier to mount a 200LX on the left wrist. Much less to
carry around. ;-)

And please check your cfg files for syntax errors! I had strange
behaviours of Post/LX due to such errors before.
For example, the Set= entries seem to not allow empty values (so "Set="
causes problems, rather set it to "Set=abcde" if you have the sets
a,b,c,d and e defined, or maybe leave the Set line entirely away).
Especially a "null pointer assignment" when leaving Post/LX or WWW/LX
is suspicious.

Russ,

My recommendation is to use WWW/LX Version 3. It is simply a
waste of time to debug and fix the older version. and I think
we simply won't do it.

Regarding the behaviour: I saw this behaviour in V2 and I
believe in one specific occasion in Version 3. Most of that
was cleaned up in V3, so you may wish to install and use it.

If you are talking about Version 2 then I am not in this
discussion <g>...

If you are talking about WWW/LX Version 3 exhibiting the Set=3D
behaviour than this is a myth - I have a bunch of empty set
statements... It is then unique to your CFG file. I hope we
won't start spreading rumors that one can get Anthrax if some
parameter in a config file is misspelled. <G>

Rather, when POST.EXE brings in parameters from the CFG file
it goes after things that have a correct spelling - i.e. it
says: "Give me the content of parameter XYZ" and spells it
right. If you have parameter XYZ spelled "DANIEL" then
POST.EXE will get a null. It is not going after parameter
"DANIEL=3D" because it does not need it.

Now, with Set and Sets=3D there is a slight complication! One
says which parameter is CURRENTLY being displayed and the
other says with groups (sets) the mailbox belongs to. But the
spelling is similar and it is easy to put the wrong one in the
wrong place. That seems to tend to override, taking the last
appearance as the effective one, but not always, in my
experimentations. But then again, let's not analyze the
behaviour of a program when you give it wrong stuff to do -
let's just give it the right stuff to do.

You also should know that ANY folder with NEW UNREAD email
will display on the screen no matter which set you chose to
display (that is supposed to tell you and remind you that you
have email!!!) and in any case, box MAIL will ALWAYS display
anyway. If this is the strange behaviour you mentioned, then
it is "strange" by design - "working as coded and as
planned!".

Hope this helps you and everyone else on this thread...

I'd love to see something like this work w/ the 100LX (and 200LX, of
course):

http://www.hhcmag.com/backissues/view.asp?article=349

It's a Mako 56K Travel Modem, designed for use w/ a Psion clone.

There don't seem to be *ANY* DOS drivers and the oldest OS it lists
compatibility with is Win95.

Any chance of this working w/ the 100LX?  Asking, 'cause it'd be nice to
have a CF card in the memory, a keyboard plugged into the serial port and
56K, portable Internet/email access, going on at the same time!

TIA for any ref. to POSSIBLE IR modems that could work w/ the 100LX, etc.!

Maybe I was not clear. AFAIK Lxpic does not display TIFs that
is why I asked - Ed specifically said he displays .TIF files
with lxpic.

Hi List,

As I no longer have an analogue modem line at the office, I am trying to
setup MochaPPP to get access to the Internet via the Desktop PC connected =
to
the LAN and the Internet. This should allow Post/LX and WWW/LX to gain =
access
to internet eMail.

I managed to make it work at home but it does not work at the office. The
office pc uses a Proxy server hence I have Inserted the line
"HTTP_Proxy=3Dproxy.xxx.com:port" in www/lx.

Despite this, when I launch WWW/LX and try to access e.g. www.dasoft.com, =
I
get the message reproduced below.

  ---------------
  ERROR: Cache Access Denied
  While trying to retrieve the URL:
  http://www.dasoft.com/
  The following error was encountered:

  Sorry, you are not currently allowed to request:

The question really is whether www/lx supports password authentication =
via a
LAN connection. How can I setup WWW/LX to authenticate myself and be able =
to
use the LAN proxy server. I can not believe that Internet Explorer 3.0 =
can do
something that www/lx can not do ;)  If www/lx can not do it, is there an
alternative mail client for the HP200LX that can do it ?

Please advise.

Thanks,

with one major drawback IMHO, there is no optical view-finder.
For outdoor use (sunlight) and better battery consumption this is a
must in my eyes. But for indoor use and 1.3Mpix the camera would be
a good choice.

And I'll throw in my 2 bits for the Canon S10/S20 (available on CNET for
about $311/$345, respectively).

They don't have the manual aperture/shutter control that the Casio has, but
they do have an optical viewfinder and a macro mode for close-ups.  They
also have a playback zoom that's handy for reviewing your photo in close
detail (otherwise hard to see on a 1.5" LCD), so you can better tell what's
treasure and trash.

And if you really need the space, they'll also take a Microdrive.

Don't know about Psion machines, but I think they all use the IrDA
protocol.
The IR port of an IrDA modem and the IR port of the LX are not
compatible, because the HP doesn't speak IrDA, but HPSIR (an older IR
protocol).

The only chance to use an IrDA modem with the LX is to use D&A's WWW/LX
which supports IrDA.

But maybe that modem is also capable to speak HPSIR. Rather clarify that
before you buy it!

Looking at this from a semantical (scientific) point of view,
when one tells someone to go to hell, it doesn't really suggest
that they travel, or even say anything about the person to which
the comment is directed.  It's an expression of one's own
feelings.

Same thing as saying "She's the most beautiful girl in the
world" or "You're a S.O.B" or "You're a dipstick".

The first doesn't result from having phsyically compared all the
girls in the world (although some might be reluctant to admit
that).

The second isn't a comment on the love life of the mother of the
person receiving the comment, or even about that person.

Actually I'm not sure there might not sometimes be truth in the
dipstick remark, but generally not.

In each statement the subject was the speaker.

So, it's entirely possible and logical (in a semantical sort of
way) to tell someone to go to hell even though neither you nor
that person believes in an afterlife.

Here is an interesting item: Halfkeyboard. It is half a
keyboard, the size of a PalmPilot. You type with left hand
just like before. To type letters on the right side of the
keyboard, you press the space bar and hit the letter. The
letter you hit is the same as you would have if you used your
right hand. E.g. D pressed, produces D. D pressed with the
Shift, produces K, which is the same relative position of the
finger on the right hand.

If you are a touch typist they say you can be rolling within
minutes.

I am not, and so it might take more time.

They have versions for various PalmPilots, Handspring, PCs
(Win and DOS and Linux, via PS/2 or USB connectors) as well as
Macintosh (via USB.) Price is $99. Website
http://halfkeyboard.com.

Also a Werable halfkeyboard, you wear on the wrist, $299.

They also offer an X2 halfkeyboard which is really weird: It
is the full keyboard, but it has the features of a
halfkeyboard built-in, i.e. you can type with both hands like
a normal keyboard, or switch to typing on it as if it was a
halfkeyboard, typing with your left hand (leaving the right
hand free) or typing signle handed with the right hand
(leaving the left hand free). For some reason this strikes me
a strange, although on thinking about it makes sense, sort of,
if you ignore the space benefit, and just look at the
keyboard's benefits in terms of typing with one hand and
having the other hand free for other, related tasks.  (the X2
is $99).

I wonder if it is useful for the Palmtops, and if anyone saw
or used it.

Creator is Edgar Matias. Matias Corp. sells the software
version for the halfkeyboard, see http://halfqwerty.com - he
is quite a brain. .

So, it *MIGHT* be possible, but only w/ WWW/LX (and then possibly Post/LX)?

I'll send them an email regarding their modem being able to use "HPSIR," who

If the modem is only IrDA, yes. If it also can speak HPSIR, you can use
every software on the HP.
Only WWW/LX has a built-in IrDA stack, which uses the (HPS)IR-interface
and encapsulates all data into the IrDA protocol which is then sent
over the IR interface.

In other computers, either the BIOS or a Windows driver does this IrDA
encapsulation, AFAIK, so it is software-independent. Simply click the
software to use COMx and the serial data will be sent as IrDA.

But since you cannot create a DOS-driver which captures all data
sent to COM1, encapsulate it into IrDA and then forward it to COM1, it
is not possible to make IrDA software-independent on the palmtop.

If you need more exact explanation, Stefan Peichl can probably tell ou
more.

My first 95lx (the one that "donated" the motherboard) was powerless for
more than 6 months.....

There's is just one minor problem left:
My first 95lx was a US-model with querty-keyboard. My "new" lx is (i.e. was)
a german model with qwertz-keyboard. Since I'm not willing to pry the
keyboard open to switch the keys, is there a way to remap "z" and "y"? (I'm
not a DOS-geek......)

I have a HP200LX that's also marked Samsung which has Korean
characters above the English characters marked on the keys.
I imagine it can display the font but I don't know how to
call it up.  This unit came from Seoul.

Actually, there is a keyboard program built into the 200LX (d:\bin\key200.com) but I have no idea if it (or rather
"key95" ;-) ) exists on the HP 95LX. On the 200 you invoke this from the autoexec.bat file, with a textfile as parameter
that contains the keys you want to reassign. Details and example in d:\bin\key200.txt


Best regards,

          ... Frank Louwers (Belgium)...

* VGA display (but b/w LCD!)

* native IrDA compatibility of the IR port

* Bluetooth

* less weigth

* slightly smaller size (but not too small, it must not slip out of the
hands and the keyboard size must be large enough for fast typing)

* Two PCMCIA slots (or a large flash drive built-in)


But why dream? The Morphy One has been built. but it is almost
unreachable for most of us. New faster devices have an ugly OS and less
battery life. No new palmtop will ever be built with DOS as its OS.
Let's hope that at least Linux palmtops will gain in importance.
A linux machine COULD be a replacement for the 200LX in the future. But
certainly no Windows CE device.

So let's make as much use of the 200LX as possible (I am a power user
for over 4 years now, and I still learn more and more interesting
ways to use the palmtop) until there is a _real_ replacement.

Actually I don't _need_ all these items from my wish list, they would
only be nice to have.

The 200LX is the most useful tool I have ever had.

I recently noticed the following item for sale on ebay:

        http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1285226339

Does anybody know how effective this unit is?

This item gave me the idea of some sort of indiglo lighting device, driven
by Stefan Peichl's Lighton software.

The resulting light, hopefullly, would be bright enough to make the HP 200
useful at night, without the glare that comes from an LED light.

A company called www.e-lite.com manufactures electroluminescent media (like
the indiglo nitelites) that could be used for this project.  Product sample
are available relatively cheap (~$30).

I'm not an engineering type that could create a small circuit to power the
light from a serial port ( media require an ac voltage).

Any takers on prototyping this beast?

I think something like this has been mentioned before here, but it sure did
not look like that.  Seems a tad overpriced, though.   I wonder who makes
this thing?

Does anyone know anything about a Memorex PCMCIA and CF card reader/writer
that works off of the parallel port?

Several are on Ebay. Info follows:

CompactFlash Reader/Writer External

                       Reader/Writer for Digital Camera CompactFlash Card
           Additional Slot for PCMCIA ATA type I, II, or III and Sandisk Flash Cards
                 Supports Hot Swapping (changing cards w/o turning power off)
       External unit connects to Parallel Port and has pass through for printer so you
                                        can keep printer connected.
                                          Memorex Model PCF-100

I would like to use it to xfer files and backup my 8MB X2 200lx to my NT desktop and MP3s to CF. I need it to work with a 440 MB Sandisk PCMCIA
card or a 160MB Sandisk CF card.

All Info appreciated.

I've had two of these and they work well. Be careful about the driver,
tho. I needed to upgrade the driver to work with 98SE. I used a 96MB
sandisk compact flash and 150MB sandisk type 2 PCMCIA flash with 'em.
I got mine for $20-$30USD. I also used one of those $10 (hard to find
now) PCMCIA-port-AT-style cards and can tell you that the memorex
thingy is a lot slower.

Ed,

Thanks for the feedback.

What is the "PCMCIA-port-AT-style cards" and is the Memorex Model PCF-100
slower than say a Sandisk SDDR-01 (For CF only)?
I am intrigued becouse the memorex appears to run either a PCMCIA type II
(or a CF in an adaptor?) or a CF  (or both)? Seems more versital.

Joe

I'm sure someone here can have a more specific answer. it was a card
that was being sold at some close-out vendor (Necx?). It's an AT card
that goes into an AT slot on a desktop PC and provides a Type-2 PCMCIA
slot. Windows and Linux both recognize the card and treat it as if it
were like any laptop PCMCIA slot.

This link looks like it describes it:

Not sure, never used it. If it uses USB then maybe it's faster but
can't say fer sure.

You can only use one card at a time but it does take both. The
included docs warn you about trying to use two cards at once. I never
tried it 'cause it might trash data. You get the same functionality
with a full PCMCIA type-2 slot and a CF-adaptor.

As far as I know, 1000 Morphies have been built in Japan.

Am I wrong?

It is definitely not possible to let the LX's processor decode MP3s in
real-time.

It can of course decode them if an appropriate software would exist,
but it would probably take days or weeks to decode on 5 minute 128 kb/s
MP3 to a WAV file. A WAV file, which contains the sampled audio data
almost in a raw format, could then be played via nusound or another
PC-speaker-player, but I don't think you would really enjoy it.

Someone on this list developed a PCMCIA-sized MP3-player which can be
inserted into the PCMCIA slot of the LX. But as far as I know power was
the only thing the LX really provided to the player. No control over
play modes via software, the player had its own MMC or Smartmedia
memory.

Interesting project. But probably not the one you were looking for.

If you get a card reader that uses an add-in board, be aware that you might
not have enough interrupts to use it. A flash RAM card requires 2 interrupts
in a Wintel system: one for the "drive" and one for the card. I ran out of
interrupts on my desktop computer (but it has a sound card, modem, network
card, 2 hard drives, and 2 CD drives) and was unable to use the unit I got,
and SMC Swap Box, IIRC.

Ed,

Thanks for the feedback.

What is the "PCMCIA-port-AT-style cards" and is the Memorex Model PCF-100
slower than say a Sandisk SDDR-01 (For CF only)?
I am intrigued becouse the memorex appears to run either a PCMCIA type II
(or a CF in an adaptor?) or a CF  (or both)? Seems more versital.

As far as I know, 1000 Morphies have been built in Japan.

My son is currently using an old Pentium Pro machine with 32MB of RAM. I'm
trying to find him something a bit more powerful but not necessarilly
state-of-the-art. By any chance, does anyone have a motherboard and
processor that may perform a bit better for him so he can play some of the
games he wants to play. If anyone has anything they want to part with just
email me direct with what you have and how much you want for it.

Yes, I own one and find it great. The main reason I decided to get the NEXII
is that it uses CF cards just like the LX and my digital camera. The fact
that I can plug in the CF card in the CF reader that I have for my desktop
and my laptop and just copy or move the mp3 files to the card instead of
using a USB connection or whatever most other players are using is great.
I bought a 256MB card along with the NEXII. You need a lot of MBs for sound
files even if they are mp3s. But I can use this card in my digital camera or
in the LX if I want.
There are a few things that would be nice to have improved on the NEXII, but
Frontier Labs are quite responsive to users feedback, and have come up with
some quite useful firmware upgrades.
For the price they are asking it's a great product.

Subject:      lxtools 1.1a Debian bug
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hello list, I underwent some further testing on my lxtools utilities and found
that the problem I was speaking about in message
http://www.technoir.nu/hplx/hplx-l/0109/msg00339.html is actually related to
version 1.1a of lxtools, while lxtools version 1.1d (including the wonderful
'lxbackup' utility) work perfectly (in short words: version 1.1a utilities run
fine the first time, but by the second time on, they "lock" the serial port
and I can't run them again successfully, nor I can run any other 1.1a utility,
nor any 1.1d utility).

Thanks to Daniel Hertrich's precious suggestions, I discovered that to "unlock"
the serial port you have to 'rmmod' the serial module and 'insmod' it again,
thus allowing 1.1d utilities to work fine again (I have no idea of what to do
if you have serial support built in the kernel, since I have it as a loadable
module, and I haven't time to recompile my kernel at the moment).

Later on, I found that the bug was already been reported on the lxtools
package's bug page, and can be overcome by modifying and recompiling lxtools
sources, but I think the best solution is to upgrade to version 1.1d (maybe
it's time for the guys at Debian to move the 1.1d version from the "testing"
to the "stable" tree of Debian archives...).

As a sidenote, the Debian package lxtools_1.1d-1_i386.deb needs libc6 >=2.2.1-2
to be installed, but I've successfully compiled the sources I found on Peter
Watkins' page at http://www.tux.org/~peterw/LXFileman and they work fine on my
2.2.17 system, with libc6 2.1.3-10.

Non-Linux users, sorry for annoying you with this long message, but I'm sure
you are sharing my happiness for a HP200 back to work! ;-)

Thanks Jan, Thats exactly what I was looking for.I had been looking at a
Lyra but found that although ti useds AA Batts and CF card's, it also
requires that you transfer to the player using ONLY their proprietary SW.
Also it re-encodes the MP3 files so they are no longer useable on anything
except the Lyra. The NEX-II does not have this problen, but still uses AA's
and CF's.

Thanks

And I have an Antec photochute which hooks to the parallel port but it
worked inconsistently.  It would suddenly be inoperative and YELLOW
Exclamation point in Devices in Win98se.  I will admit that it was
chained to an iomega zip drive and a parallel printer.

I would reinstall and sometimes it would be "discovered" and work for a
boot or two and then suddenly disappear.  I did like it as it read full
pcmcia cards, cf in an adapter and I believe it also took smartmedia
(never used).

I finally gave up after not being able to establish comm with it for two
weeks and wanting my Canadian Rockies pics off the camera.  I got a
Sandisk CF reader for usb and it worked immediately.  But it is limited
to CF - which is why a few weeks back I asked if there were an adapter
that allowed full pcmcia cards to be "converted" to CF.....

I'm now using a sandisk cf in adapter in my hp200 hoping it uses less
power than the full sandisk 85meg I used before..

 You may need to add these lines to your CONFIG.SYS:

 device=c:\windows\system\csmapper.sys
 device=c:\windows\system\carddrv.exe /slot=1

 I have this on W95 in order to have it recognise my SRAM cards.  May be
 different for a flash card.   What it does is create one removable drive,
 for PCMCIA slot 0.  You must put the card in slot 0.  If you really need to
 use slot 1, then you must specify slot=2, and you get two removable drives.

 Of course check these files exist in W98 before you try it!

---- Snip ...

And of course there is always a Hyperterminal and Kermit etc...,

For serial communications I strongly advise using Xfinder on the 200LX, and
XFS as server on the PC. Works fast ( under 95/98/me) or decent (under NT
etc). I get 7K bytes/sec under W98. ZIP also works fine, but slightly more
complex.

Have you tried a fresh set of batteries? 65F isn't very cold.  I've had my
DS 8mb in colder temps than that with no starting problem.

The MS-DOS or Windows 3.1 version of the TrueFFS driver does

  2. Right-click the file Trueffs.inf, and then click Install.

  3. Restart your computer.

Your linear flash and SRAM cards will now function.

BTW, Win 2000 does not have the CSMapper or Carddrv files. I have not been
able to use SRAM cards with Win 2000.

This is important enough to me to hire a consultant (for at least a

Are you sure it doesn't really switch on, maybe the screen contrast is
only to weak.

Try to switch it on in the cold, then press On, keep it pressed and
press the plus key a few times (to increase contrast).

Subject:      T39m - my first experiences
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Hi friends,

I have now finally received my new Ericsson T39m and of course I
immediately tested how it works with the palmtop.

I couldn't try GPRS by now because GPRS hasn't been activated for me by
the network provider. But within the next days it should be activated.

SMS with Stefan's PDU over IrDA with WWW/LX works great,

I get EMI disturbances when the phone is less than about 12cm from the
LX sway, but since the Ericsson IrDA ports are as strong as the IrDA
standard defines (working range about 1m) it is no problem to place the
phone about 20 or 30 cm away from the LX to get a VERY RELIABLE
connection.
I am used to use the Siemens phones, which always caused problems due
to EMI and very weak IrDA signals, which made it necessary to place the
phone near enough to the LX so that the IrDA signal still reaches the
LX (15 cm max) but place it far enough away so that EMI is duppressed
snough. It was always a hassle.

Now with the T39m there is no problem anymore.

I ma still fiddling around to find out how to get faster connections
than 9600bps without using HSCSD or GPRS.
Does anyone know how to do that?
I tried several combinations of at+cbst and at+chsn values, but no
luck. "BUSY or NO ANSWER" was the answer of WWW/LX everytime I wanted
to establish a V34 or V110 connection faster than 9600.

Maybe my provider doesn't support 14.400bps on a GSM channel. I have to
ask them. Or is there anyone who gets 14.400bps on a normal GSM channel
with E-Plus?

I will definitely not use HSCSD, because the fees they take for it are
HUGE. No way. GPRS is also expensive here (about 0.35 Euro per 10kB for
the first 100kB, above that limit 0.10 Euro per 10 kB). I will try it,
maybe it is already a benefit for me.

What I don't like about the T39m is the strange physical hardware
design. As you know, I used Siemens phones by now. They are mostly
without sharp edges, roundish, and you know you have ONE THING in your
hand.
The T39m has sharp edges,the battery has a very strange raw surface on
the back, whih you always have to touch during a telephone call (I
always get goosepimples (= Gaensehaut) when touching such surfaces!!)
and the microphone is mounted into a flap, which must be opened to do a
call and closed to carry the phone around.
So it doesn't give you this Siemens-like impression to have ONE
MONOLITHIC THING in your hand, but rather a set of metal and plastic
parts.... you know what I mean?

It is not instable in any way, I don't be afraid that it falls into
parts, but it is simply a totally different feeling than to have a
Siemens phone in your hand.

The keys are far more difficult to press than on Siemens phones. They
are smaller and they are not these nice rubber keys which are a little
bit sticky to the fingers, but they are plastic. You have to have small
fingers or use the nails to press them.

So far I would say that the T39m is technically a very well designed
phone with all features you can get for reasonable money, but IMO
Ericsson still has a lot to learn regarding user-friendlyness and
mechanical design of their products.

Did anyone of you download the AT command set from the Ericsson sites?
I registered with mobileworld, and tried to download the ZIP file, but
it always resulted in a 0-bytes-file.

I hope I can report soon about GPRS.

And aaof course I am still looking for a Bluetooth module which could
be built into the palmtop! This would make mobile connectivity sooooo
convenient!  :-)

Hi Daniel, here in New Zealand we have no HSCSD and the GPRS
comes at $NZ30 for 1MB which is about 13 Euro - for you 1MB
would cost 3.5 Euro for first 100KB then 1 Euro per 100KB or
12.5 Euro for 1MB. About the same as here! We also have bigger
plans -$45 for 2MB, $65 for 5MB (effectively about 7 Euro per
MB).

For GPRS I have been using GMX as SMTP server as it allows true
authentication, but today I learned my local provider,
Vodafone, are supposed to provide a special GPRS SMTP server.
It is supposed to be working now, but doesn't respond to a
ping, yet<G>.

I smiled when I read your excellent description.

Going from a Siemens or Nokia to the T39 is like changing from
almost any car to a 2CV. But, I always liked the 2VC :)

They are slightly easier to press than those on the Nokia 8210.

They do! What about the perpetually flashing green LED on the
top? I mentioned that to the Ericsson support and they agreed,
and recommended duct-tape<G>. I see Ericsson and Sony seem to
have joined up together and maybe next year there will be
"Sony-Ericsson" or maybe "EricsSony"<G> phones :)

I'm really stuck here. Have win nt laptop. The cdrom takes

D:. Unfortunately all file references in the databse programs
are to drive E:. I need to somehow substitute my real drive D:

I could "grep" all the database programs (100's of them) and

If anybody can point me to another way I'd be grateful!

This might be possible, HSCSD and 14,4kb/s are quite new. No info about
this from E-Plus?

In Switzerland, Swisscom (the main GSM provider) is offering HSCSD for
the same price as a "normal" call, but without any guarantee that more
than 1 timeslot is available. HSCSD is bundling up to 4 timeslots for
a data call to privide higher speed.

As Swisscom has not yet officially launched GPRS for general use, the
price is not yet known. Sunrise, a competitor of Swisscom, offers data
calls over GPRS for CHF 7.50/Mb (ca. 5 EUR). This seems to be a
reasonable price. I know that most operators sell GPRS to quite high
prices, nd I fear that this will kill the business.

I think that the Ericsson phones design is some kind of different
philosophy: You like it or you don't. I had an Ericsson phone T18s once
and first I totally disliked the flip cover. Later I changed to another
phone without flip cover and then I missed it. It prevents from
unwanted keypresses when having the phone in the pocket (without flip
cover I had already 10+ minutes unwanted "calls" because in my pocket
some of the phones keys have been pressed inattendently). In my R520m
phone i have the automatic keylock function, by deactivating it by
opening a cover is easier than to make 2 keystrokes. I found also
the feature of answering and terminating calls by opening and closing
the flip very useful.

14.400 is not new.
Actually, GSM can handle 14.400 without problems, everything above
9600bps is used as error control / correction overhead, and if you
leave that away (TCP handles that anyway), you can get 14.400 bps.
But your provider must support that, and you phone of course. The
Siemens S35 did not support that, but I think newer phones should all
support 14.400bps over one GSM channel.

WOW, That's real service! (Well, in Switzerland there is still
something like real service. In Germany you cannot expect service
anymore :-( )

That's very cheap compared to my price!

Yes, it is more "intuitive" compared to a keylock function by key
strokes. Although I don't know if it is simpler (regarding the work and
energy it coses you, and time of course). It is a matter of getting
used to it.
I think every phone has a keylock function. I never had unwanted calls,
even without the flap.

Another issue is the mechanical outwearing of the hinge when you
frequently open / close the phone or if you accidentally drop it.

On my home page (thanks!;-) ) there is an overview on HSCSD and other
commands, also for some Ericsson phones.
What I was looking for is the complete AT command reference for the
T39m.
This is available at www.ericsson.com. CLick on "Ericsson Mobility
World" at the bottom of the page, "Open Zone" on the left, "T39"
somewhere in the middle and then on "Documentation" on the left.

You can then download several documents, including the AT command set.
But you first have to sign up with Ericsson (it's free).

Oh, I just tried it once more, and now it seems to download.
BTW: The "white paper" is also very recommendable! A short excerpt
about GSM and 14.400bps:
"A normal GSM call only uses one of eight repeating time slots in the
GSM channel, giving a data speed up to 9,600bps. The T39 supports a
more efficient coding scheme, giving data seed of up to 14,400 bps
(providing the network supports this). Furthermore, High Speed Circuit
Switched Data (HSCSD) gives the possibility to use two time slots for
receiving data. This can increase the data speed up to 28,800 bps
(network-dependent)."

I suspect they limited HSCSD in newer phones to 28,800 bps, because
GPRS has also (at least in German) been limited to lower speeds than it
actually could provide to increase acceptance of UMTS when it becomes
available. In the first stage of UMTS, data speeds will also be very
limited. If GPRS would provide faster speeds than UMTS in its
beginning, no one would switch to UMTS.

I have now downloaded this white paper and the AT command set.
If someone wants to have one of them, pase let me know.
I won't publish it on my home page, at least not with an official link,
because this could make trouble. So if you want to have it, I'll put it
on my home page, but give you the exact URL so you can directly
download it without a link on one of the HTMLs.

Now I will explore the AT commands and see what things are possible and
which are not... :-)

Hi friends,

can you recommend a text viewer for the palmtop which supports the zoom
modes, does line-breaking when zoomed in, is NOT an EXM and lets you
scroll down in a file?

I am looking for something like that as a note viewer for Mindmap/LX.

Thanks
daniel

Does the phone use the same port for the data cable and the
charger. My StarTac does and the connector on the data cable
has a port on the side to allow connection of the charger when
the data cable is connected to the phone.

Turbo Lightning is a TSR spell checker that can sit under
almost any DOS program. It can check spelling on the fly, or
check a screen of text after you entered it. I used TL for many
years with my DOS terminal emulator program to catch typing and
spelling errors. It will run on the 95/100/200LX if you load
ANSI.SYS or an equivalent in config.sys.

Hi all,

Having some trouble w/ the Times2Tech site. Tried the "automatically get
your drivers emailed to you" function twice and have emailed Mack. Both the
site and Mack must be on vacation. I'm not mad, heck everyone needs a break
every now and then, BUT can anyone email me the proper drivers for a
Thaddeus upgraded 200LX (doublespeed and 64 MB memory upgrade)??

And, while I have old drivers backed up on my HDD, I seem to forget how to
set up the two files İspd31.exe and rd32swap.exe¨.

I recently did a GOOD backup of my 200LX (yay!), which is good, since I
think I just managed to wipe my expanded memory files w/ rdt2t.exe..... My
only "backup error" was that I forgot to backup the "old" c: drive that
contained the proper Config.sys and Autoexec.bat (and the drivers) to do the
speed change and drive swap..... I've got them "somewhere" ... but think I
might have them on a HDD that I removed from my system(!) during an
"upgrade" (heck, I thought I copied all I would need to the my new data
drive and would "get to the rest later" <sigh>.

TIA for any help,

--tim

PS. My 200LX was "forgetting" to power down automatically and it drained my
batteries all the way, overnight. Any idea what was going on to make it
"forget" to shut off automatically? I think I remember folks advising
someone else to wipe everything and reload (in such a situation); so I'm
inadvertently half-way there....

  I just installed Personal Ancestral File v3.01M on my 200lx and it seems to
complain about floating point emulation problems and crashes when importing a
GEDCOM file.  Has anyone else seen this?  Also, upon install, it complains about
the disk not being the correct install disk but installs anyway. Then after the
install is complete, it says that the install was not successful.  I have
compared all the files in size to a successful desktop installation and all the
files are there and the sizes are proper.

thanks,

Thanks to Mack and some other folks who chipped in ;-)

I still seem to need one more file, the "newer" version of  "Carousel.opt"
.... I seem to remember that's the one that's needed to make Software
Carousel (SSC7) work w/ the upgraded memory etc.

I've got the drivers installed, etc. and they work, BUT software carousel
stops on "Software Carousel ... Initializing" .....

I don't know why or how, but my "complete" back up seems to have the same
"carousel opt" as the Thaddeus CD (I think that's the old one). I believe
they included the newer one on a floppy, when I ordered it (years ago)....
I'll start searching. Could that be the file that's causing my palmtop to
hang on boot now?

TIA for all help!!!! **AND** Thanks again to those who've replied with help

Tim and everyone,

I apologize for my long absence on this mailing list. First, I want to
assure everyone that the 200LX portion of Thaddeus Computing continues to be
an important part of our business. Based on current activity repairing,
upgrading and reselling HP 200LX's, I think we will be in it for at minimum
2 more years.

As many of you know, in trying to steer our business for the future, we have
also gone "over to the other side", supporting Windows CE and in particular
Pocket PC's with our magazine Pocket PC magazine, www.PocketPCmag.com.
Although I like many things about the Pocket PC, I've never been shy about
telling anyone, I would still probably be using the HP 200LX if it weren't
for the direction of our business.

Also, due to both an ISP and shopping cart vendor going out of business, the
shopping cart part of our site at www.PalmtopPaper.com is temporarily down.
The good news is that sometime after it comes up, we will be offering
additional used 200LX accessories that we have accumulated through the
years.  Despite problems with the cart, all back issues of the Palmtop Paper
are, as always, available on the site.

As to Thaddeus or Times2Tech drivers or other problems, you can email
jon@thaddeus.com, and Jon Miller will respond. For other tech questions, Jon
might be able to help, but honestly, the collective wisdom of this list
normally will be superior and quicker to any assistance, we can provide.

Thanks for your understanding and continual support,

Hal Goldstein
President
Thaddeus Computing

I don't use that program, but have you tried reinstalling it?  I keep a

Thanks Helmuth and Tony for your suggestions, but:

1. PE does not automatically line-wrap when loading a file
2. Read/LX reformats everything.

I think what I need is the following:

Someone mentioned a formatting program here some days ago. I forgot the
URL, but now I really need it!
It was a program, which wrapped long lines, but left lines which were
short enough untouched. It was called with a parameter indicating at
which column the lines whould be wrapped.

If this wrapping is done, PE can load the file and display it.

Read/LX would also be nice, because of the easy font selection, fast
load time and read-only mode of opening files (no chance to modify a
file accidentally), but since I have some ASCII-drawings in the notes I
want to view, and since Read/LX reformats them so that they are not
recognizeable anymore, I can't use read/lx here.

So, please, give me the URL of this reformatting program, then I can
make a batch file which reformats the note and then opens PE with it.

Thanks a lot
daniel

Hi again,

I have found this formatting program. It was fmt.com included in the
prc2txt package by Jorgen Dybdahl.

Unfortunately, this fmt.com program removes blanks from the beginning
of a line, so it destroys my ASCII drawings, too!

Does anyone know of a program wrapping long lines, leaving short lines
untouched, and NOT removing leading speaces from a line?

Hi again,

sorry, my last mail was crap:
fmt.com doesn't remove leading spaces. MM/LX does this with notes.
So I have to lead each line containing parts of as ASCII drawing with
something different than a space.
I now have a period at the beginning of each ASCII drawing line and now
all works well.

Thanks

FMT.EXE is part of the "GNU Text Utilities version 1.11" and is
found in TUT111AX.ZIP at SIMTEL - eg:

http://www.planetmirror.com/pub/simtelnet/gnu/gnuish/dos_only/tut111ax.zip

I use it for re-wrapping quoted lines - called as external from
PE. The "-s" option prevents short lines being wrapped - only
lines longer than the wrap width get wrapped.

Read resides in c:\tools, MM is in c:\mm
when I use read like this:

I think I have seen the name John Maki on one of my lists.  This morning
I got email from that person and it was contaminated by the sircam
virus.

It was labled as "joke" or some such.  The person may not know that they
are sending this so, at the moment, I will not blame them.

And if this is directed to the wrong list, I apologize in advance but
the name does look family from one list or another.

It is actually a second server, AT&T being the second. I like
your answer, and in fact, it was your participation in the D&A
Beta that taught us all these things. The other ISPs simply
make the access possible in a direct way, no "backdoor" or any
voodoo, just using their interpretation of the relevant
protocols.

That would be most interesting item to find out more about.
I'd like to add the details as a Tips&Tricks item in our
Website! Very interesting if they finally came to their senses
to let users do it... Can you let me know more?

Just to let you know: AT&T Global requires that you log in
through their network to access their servers. In this way,
they feel they can identify spammers easily. It is true, but
an overkill, and a nuisance to their customers.

The other service (CIS specifically, I do not know about
jumpy.it) lets you connect to anyone, but you must identify
yourself via userid and password in order to use the SMTP and
POP3 servers.

A slight hitch: Generally, Post/LX sends what it has to send
(using the SMTP server), then retrieves what is waiting in the
POP3 server. Why a hitch? because most ISPs now do not let you
just use their SMTP server. The SMTP protocol has no trace of
identification of the user, a fact that many spammers took
advantage of, and sent millions of emails through an SMTP
server of some hapless, unsuspecting ISP!

So ISPs stopped giving access to their SMTP to anyone. (This
was called relaying.) There were three solutions:

(1) Extended SMTP is an addition to the SMTP protocol which
allows, among other features, to authenticate a user (i.e.
user must provide an id and password.) Not everyone uses this.
Post/LX works with this very well.

(2) You must first access the POP3 box, which requires (by
protocol) that you provide id and password. Then the ISP gives
you access to their SMTP for some amount of time. Post/LX
handles this by specifying in the mailbox the parameter
PopFirst=3D1 (i.e. telling Post/LX to access the POP3 first,
then the SMTP.) This is a bit of a hassle if you have a lot of
stuff to send out since you get cut off at some point, but
still an easier problem to deal with. The ISP can increase
your time slot, for example.

(3) As AT&T does, force you to login via their network and
login server. Then they know who you are. If you spam, they
know who did it. This is IMHO an onerous way to do it, since
the 1st and second option works well for the majority of ISPs
in the world.

My preferred solution is #1. I also hard of an ISP that looks
at your FROM: field. If it contains a known user, they send
the email onward (relay the email). But I have not heard of
this being widely used. And on occasions, you may wish to
relay a message using a different FROM field, and such ISPs
block the attempt.

Hi Werner,

Change the first line of BIGFONT.FNT to be:

FONT c:\tools\BIGFONT.PCX

> when I use read like this:
> read read.doc it works.

Good :) Ah, you must have Font=BIGFONT.FNT in READ.CFG. Change
this to Font=c:\tools\BIGFONT.FNT, then read will work when
started from a different directory to c:\tools.

I use other .HFN fonts too and use an explicit directory in
read.cfg -eg: Font5=c:\fonts\FPAB0011.HFN. I actually use
c:\fonts for storing BIGFONT.PCX and BIGFONT.FNT as well.

Hope this helps. Yup Notes=c:\tools\read.exe should work in
MM.CFG now. Also now READ.EXE will work in PNS200.INI, for
example. You could even use VR as a note viewer I guess :)
.. but you would need to add an item to TextExt= in VR.CFG.

.. yup, VR works really well too. No good as an ascii-art
viewer though<G>. In VR.CFG I have

; Extensions to display, separate patterns with ';
TextExt = *.txt;*.doc;*.c;*.mes;*.msg;*.tm?;*.$mm

I added the $mm for MM notes, and the tm? to pick up tempfiles
from POST/LX - so I can read e-mails in VR - fun for longer
articles. In POST.CFG I have

&pns=maxdos pns200 $f $.

as an external, which gives me a choice  - if I feel like
reading a message in READ/LX in bigfont, or in VR, for example.

When using VR this way you just have to press F10 when it
starts and rotate 900 to read the message. The file sent is
automatically highlighted in VR.

I guess it's just a coincidence but recently I seem to have seen
several of these "my email address changed" messages.

I got around this problem long ago by signing up with...
  http://www.pobox.com

$15USD/year is quite reasonable for the reliable service I've
had from them.  My real ISP is currently AT&T but I can change
anytime and I only have to change the forwarding address at
pobox.com.

  Email -> rlbrooks@pobox.com -> ATTglobal -> WWW/LX

Pobox.Com isn't the only service, there are even some free ones
but I question their reliablity if their advertising funding
dries up.

Whichever service you pick it pays for itself the next time you
change ISP and don't have to tell everyone you've moved again.

The use of the Subst command was a good one. It helped a little.=
 Program now starts and then gives me
an error message of DOS encountered following error while=

than I get  "I/O Error!!!"

I can than take my card out of my Palmtop, place it in my=

Any more ideas?

Hal,

Thank you for posting this reassurance. I have many people ask
if this niche is dead or what. I repeat that Thaddeus supports
with hardware sales and we support the market with our
products. That there is a continuous flow of new items,
wisdom, tricks, ideas, and adaptations which seem to prolong
the life of the machines, aside from their sturdiness to begin
with.

All the best!

On the hardware HalfKeyboard you generate the letters as
follows: (assuming a qwerty keyboard, sorry users of azerty
and Dworak kbds...)

press Q and you get a Q, W key yields a W. Nothing unusual.
But: press spacebar and Q and you get the opposing key from
the right hand set, namely P. spacebar-W yields O, spacebar-E
yields I, spacebar-spacebar yields a space, so nothing is
missing.

You can use either your left hand only to key, or right hand,
or even both hands to operate the HalfkKeyboard which really
contains just half the keys.

The software version simply uses a program that listens to the
keyboard. If you type Q it shows Q on the screen. If you type
a E, it shows E on the screen. If you press spacebar-Q it
translates to P, spacebar-E shows as I.

So on a full keyboard you can ignore the right side, or the
left side, as if those keys are not on your keyboard.

In my opinion, this is excellent for touch typists, since the
brain will adjust quickly to mapping the function of one hand
to the other hand with the spacebar prefix. I am not a touch
typist and this is not so good for me, much more complext to
remap stuff. I used a chording keyboard called The Twiddler
(www.handykey.com) and it was much much easier to learn - for
me.

If you use the physical hardware, you need nothing in the way
of software, the kbd does it all - as I understand. If you
want to try the software version, you need to buy that
software. Or write it yourself, and make it a driver that
listens to the keyboard.

PE can reformat paragraphs based on the column of the right

The software version simply uses a program that listens to the
keyboard. If you type Q it shows Q on the screen. If you type
a E, it shows E on the screen. If you press spacebar-Q it
translates to P, spacebar-E shows as I.

So on a full keyboard you can ignore the right side, or the
left side, as if those keys are not on your keyboard.

If you use the physical hardware, you need nothing in the way
of software, the kbd does it all - as I understand.



----} If you want to try the software version, you need to buy that
----} software.

R U SURE ! is such a software available ? what is the
name & source ? any price idea ? I need it badly .. my
hands do hurt even when typing on the very very light
touch keyboard from frontech (apx US$5 in india) ..
i am a touch typist .. so using alternately the left and
right hand will give me great respite ! tks for your
very informative posts ..

best wishes ..

Or write it yourself, and make it a driver that
listens to the keyboard.

In one of your previous messages you did recommend a software upgrade
for the Siemens cellular as a must. As a result you experienced
flawless IrDA connections. Now, after some time, does the Siemenes
cellular still connect flawless using IrDA?

Patrick - wow, good old JAM! You got it going real quickly.
I searched to see if compression could be turned off, so you
only got the benefit of the small drive size, but I don't think
it can. Yup, it would be a tad slow :(

What we want is some other way of just partitioning the card,
but I don't know any.

I found the solution myself. I had to add the path of bigfont.pcx
in the bigfont.fnt file (first line). Now it works.
I read about Daniels tries with fmt.com, where did you get that?

is this feature also working in my old 2.x version of Post/LX?
(I think it is called Auth-Smtp) and if yes: how do I switch it on?
I always had to do pop before smtp and would be happy to change it
to auth-smtp.

There is another major reason for changing email addresses: Spam.

I have such a forwarding service (I use GMX as my main mail service,
forwarding emails to some other accounts, depending on their size, from
address etc. GMX works very well. But even there I had to chance my
address a few months ago, because I have got too much spam to this
address.

Now I try to avoid giving this gmx address to places where it is stored
on the web (the only place where I have forgotten to change my
subscription address is this list, so I _get_ spam again! :-( ).

How I protect myself from getting spam you can see on
http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/contact

Everywhere I say "send me an email" (on my home page or on
lists/newsgroups) I provide a link to this page.
When I get too much spam, I simply change the email address at epost.de
(which is just a forwarding address to my GMX mailbox) and provide this
new address on ~/contact.

In addition, I am now replacing all links on my homepage to that
contact page by an SSI (server side include), which just inserts a
small text file into the mailto: tag, as this:
<a href="mailto:<!-- #include virtual="/currentaddress.dat" -->">email
me!</a>, so I only have to change my email address in
"currentaddress.dat" and it is changed in all links on my homepage.

And it may even protect the address from being grabbed by web robots. I
am not sure, but if these robots grab the raw files (so SSIs are not
executed before the robot grabs), and if these robots only grab htmls,
txts and so on, they will miss my address.

Low batteries, interaction with other misbehaved programs, problems with the
program itself, any and all of these and more could be the reason.

This is for those new to the HP palmtops.  My aplogies
to the old timers (no offense) that already know of
these sites.  I just thought that it would reduce the
number of repetitive questions.

Here are just some of the absolute best links for
owners of the HP95LX, HP100LX, and HP200LX. If you own
(or plan to own) a 95, 100 or 200LX, then you should
bookmark ALL these sites now. They will answer many of
you questions, supply you with a lifetime of software
and keep you in touch with other users of these
awesome palmtops:

Excellent general tips and tricks:

Pretty much every program ever written for the
paltops, with desciptions and download links:

GREAT trouble shooting and internals (including how to
fix hardware info):

Hello,

I have a 100LX and I would like to use my Compact
Flash card (and PCMCIA adaptor) with it, but when I
plug it in, it doesn't seem to recognize it.

Is there a sepcial driver I need for this and could
someone point me to it (or email it to me directly)?

Also, is there a physical limit to size of card that
can be used with the 100LX?

Thanks so much !
Questor.

Daniel, I experimented here with ascii drawings in MM/LX notes
and leading spaces seem to be preserved, without the need for a
period. Are leading spaces lost on export?.

You missed the japanes vector sites.   However, the links I have don't work.
Perhaps someone has more up to date links?

'using it in my machine' -- u must b using it with the
halfqwerty keyboard purchased by you .. there may
be a need for the sofware to operate the hardware ..

its just possible .. just .. that the sofware may work with
any other keyboard .. tho i doubt it .. have you tried the
software with any other ordinary keybd(s) ..

if not tried .. would you like to try ..

if not wanting to try .. could you let me try it out here ..
then i could go on to buy it from Mitas ..

i seem to not find the 'only sofware version' of the
halfkeyboard or halfqwerty ..

do need help .. if you could do a little bit of hard
work for me and research it out .. i would be really
really very very greatful ..

its difficult to even imagine the needlepricks caused
by extensive use of computers until it happens to
oneself .. bad luck .. it happened to me .. so i have to
perforce limit my keyboard usage severly ..

As I also said in a nlater posting, it seems to vary with the
surrounding of the whole arrangement.
I have experienced much less EMI problems with the new software
version at all, but in some situations there are still problems.
Unfortunately I could not find a pattern yet. On some tables it works
good, on some tables it doesn't work without acrobatic exercises,
although all these tables I tried it on were build from wood I think.

Now once I tried the Ericsson the Siemens is much much worse at all
regarding IrDA because of the weak signal strength. I can put the
Ericsson really almost 1m away from the LX and it still has a good
IrDA connection, but of course without EMI.

So you you have to use a Siemens, do the upgrade, you definitely won't
regret it. But if you can upgrade to a Noia or Ericsson, do it, if you
rely on IrDA connections.

If you prefer connections with a data cable, the Siemens is probably
the best solution.

Also Fax is only possible with a data cable, so again the Siemens is
the favorite here.

I have not tested any Nokia or Ericsson phone with a data cable yet.
Generally it should work of course, question is, as always, how
expensive these cables are, how heavy and bulky they are, how easy it
is to make a custom HPLX-specific data cable and so on.

That's not true:
If program X preserves short lines and only wraps long lines (i.e.
doesn't combine the residual part of a wrapped line with the next
(short) line, and if these drawings are not longer than to the NEW
right margin, they are preserved.

FMT.COM does a good job here.

The only problem I have is now that MM/LX seems to cut off leading
spaces from note lines. I now use the workaround to put a period in the
first column.

Not only on export.
Create a new map, add a note to the central item.
Put the text

hello, this is
         a line
which doesn't begin at col1.

into the note.
They save the note, go back to the map.
Open the note again: The "a line" is still indented.
Close the note.
Save the map (F10)
Open the note:

Now "a line" isn't indented anymore.
So saving the map seems to cut off leading spaces on note lines.

Daniel, thanks for the example. I can reproduce it.

BTW I tried FMT.COM - wow it is tiny! Very useful too. It is
inclined to let a word that includes column 64 extend past
column 64 I think. Minor criticism<G>. I could use "-l55" or so
to try and keep within the 64 columns, but this limits the
ascii-art to be narrower<G>.

It seems to me you found the optimal solution for preserving
ascii art in re-formatted MM/LX notes. Thanks!

I have a 20 Mb Kodak (OEM Sandisk) CF card with a Sandisk CF<->Type II

Hi!
I've been very interested in the 200LX for quite some time and had
gone to this month's(oct) MIT flea looking for one.
Of course, because I was set on picking something up, I did not
find *any* hplx related paraphenelia.  About an hour before the flea
ended, however, I saw a shoddy looking 95lx box :)
I picked it up for $40, it was marked $70, but it only came with the
512k 95lx itself, the big manual, and the quickstart guide and a
128k (ugh :/ ) HP SRAM card.
She works great, doesn't have any hinge cracks either.
I've only been able to get files on and off her via the SRAM card,
and that was after failed attempts at IR communications between a
laptop and Jornada (hyperterminal in both cases).
In the 2 days I've been able to play with her, I must say toddy and
diet are two of the coolest DOS progs.  I wish I knew about them
back in my XT days.

Anyone have any tips on what would be the best word
processor/editor to shoehorn onto her?  I've got the 512k of RAM
split in half between ramdisk and system ram.  I'm tempted to
stack the card, but it brings back memories of slooooowness and
random data corruption on the old MFM HDD.

When/If I ever get a 200LX I'm thinking about running bash for dos
on it, anyone have any experiance/luck with this?

Thanks.

This also allows you to set up your email address as say
abuse@domain which dramatically cuts down on spam. Of course it
scares off a few people trying to contact you for legitimate
reasons.

Try "T" the Tiny editor, available on SUPER.  The editor is only
9k, has a lot of function, and 'may' support odd screen sizes
that I think the 95 uses.

I wonder if it is my PCMCIA Type II adaptor that is
the problem.  I have used two different Compact Flash
cards that I KNOW work in my other devices, but they
won't work in my 100LX when I use the adaptor.  Has
anyone ever had any problem with getting Compact flash
cards to work with thier 100LX's ??

Did a change of hardware fix it?

Bruce, by the way what brand-name is your Type II
adaptor?  (mine is a no-name)

Any insight would be appreciated.

Hinge cracks rarely happened to the 95LX. Instead, the hinge tends to get
very loose (presumably why HP made the hinge on the 100LX so tight). If
yours is good, consider yourself lucky.

Keep in mind that the communication is only 2400bps. I bet the laptop is
causing problems. If possible, use a DOS based (on the laptop) terminal
program. Real plain DOS, if possible. That means booting in DOS mode in
Windows 9x.

Well, the built-in memo editor works in a pinch... Check out Buddy 95 in
95LX section of the SUPER site (www.palmtop.net/super95.html). It is an
amazing program and very useful if you ever use the built-in apps. It
will, among other things, remove the annoying display of newlines in
Memo.

Also on the SUPER 95 site (I think, it's been a while) is a special
version of MicroEmacs, a variant of the UNIX editor that's been altered to
fit (and understand) the 95LX display.

Even better is the editor called Freyja. It was designed with specific
support for the 95LX in mind, and implements "soft fonts", basically
giving you a usable 64x20 character mode. It's also based on UNIX EMACS,
but having 64x20 instead of 40x16 fully outweighs having to learn a bit
about EMACS (and the editor has menu support too, so it's not that hard
and it looks like you might know EMACS already). A word of warning,
though, Freyja is not the smallest editor, in terms of size (I'm guessing
40kb for the packed executable and 20k for the resource file), but on the
95LX it's the best!

Hmm. looks like palmtop.net is down right now. Freyja can be found
here:

  http://www.finseth.com/~fin/

I should have the rest of the programs still, but I'm guessing palmtop.net
will be up again soon anyway.

No, but you can find a freeware Korn Shell implementation that works quite
well. I don't think Bash has been ported to real mode DOS, in fact I'd be
surprised (it's somewhat bloated ;-)

Yeah, but where to find a DOS com program that supports a
random laptop IR implementation?  I'll just keep borrowing my
buddy's laptop until I build a cable or pickup a card reader.

Yeah, I found some screenshots of freyja and wanted to grab it.
palmtop.net was ~kinda~ up, but 300baud-acoustic-coupler-slow :)
I found the file using an ftpsearch, but I wish I got that URL about
an hour ago :/
Diet'ed, it's not too bad, and it runs great, even with toddy loaded.

Hello,

Try formatting the card using Filer. Go to Filer, Menu, Options, Format
Card. Also what size is the card ?

That's really 2 seperate questions on the 95lx with 512k and a
128k card.  That was my original configuration, too.

I'd forget about a word processor.  You probably can fit one ok
if you get a bigger card.  2 meg sram cards aren't hard to find
and 4 meg ones are available if you look a while.  The 4 meg
cards are expensive new and they'll be hard to find used.  I see
2 meg cards on ebay now and then.  I suspect there are different
cards that won't work though.  I know the 2 meg card in my 48GX
calculator won't fit the LX.  There probably are ones other than
HP cards that work but I don't know of them.

You can also use one of the older Sandisk flash cards.  The
model is SDP5-10, where 10 is the size of the card and might be
another number.  I think 5 means 5 volts.  I think 5 and 10 meg
ones will work in the 95lx with a driver.  They should be pretty
cheap now.  Probably $10 to $20.

For a simple text editor there are a few of them on Super that
are only 5 to 10k.  They're very simple and don't do anything
fancy but they work ok.  PC magazine had one called Ted that is
probably there.  Then there are some versions of Ted with other
features added.  For programming these work fine.  You can also
use the memo pad in the built in apps but thats a hassle because
you don't have any dos ram to run an assembler till you reboot.

An ideal language, if you like it, is Forth.  There are very
small implementations and using Ted to write Forth code on a
small screen works well.

The 95lx is actually faster than the original IBM PC.  I think
it's got an 8mhz Nec V20 cpu and should be about twice as fast,
and the card is memory and should be much faster than an MFM
drive.  Old flash cards might be slower than MFM drives were.

My first programming job was on a room sized Univac that had 1/4
the memory of your 95lx and probably wasn't as fast, so I wasn't
dismayed in the least by the speed of the 95lx.  My nephew has
been using my old 95lx for years in jr high and high school.  He
just replaced it with a laptop for college about 2 months ago.
Even though I gave him the laptop I can't talk him out of the
95lx now. :)

Problem is that when we are running our DOS pascal program -- we turn off HP
in middle of
the program.  When we turn the HP back on later, it's back at the point in
the program where we turned the HP off (the HP palmtops are supposed to
remember where they were) - but the data is lost.  We are running the
program and storing the data on cards, not on C: drive.  We didn't seem to
have this problem on HP95, but do now on HP200's.

It seems like if we run it off the C Drive and save data to the C drive we
have no problem.  Any ideas on if there is a fix?

Thanks!

There is a serial cable for the 95lx.  It shouldn't be hard to
find.  It's the same cable that is used by the HP48 calculator
so either one will do.

There's an old (very old) dos version of Kermit that works with
the built in terminal program just fine.  But it needs the
cable.

I think you can find it on Super.  If not I think I might have a
copy somewhere.  Just email me and I'll send it in the reply if
I have it.

It won't do IR, but I have a sealed box from a software liquidator that
says "HP95LX Connectivity Kit" ... it's made by Nuvotech (in 1991) and the
box says it includes a 1.5m cable, 5.25"/3.5" disks and instructions "to
link the HP95LX to your MS-DOS desktop computer".

$10 to anyone that emails me privately, and that will include shipping to
anywhere in the US.

I have seen a floppy disk that accepts some kind of memory (I don't
remember what kind - maybe smartcard).

Has anyone used this?

Is there such a thing for compact flash?

I would like to be able - when travelling - to copy a file onto my CF
card, then put that in a floppy disk adapter so that I could copy the
file onto an internet cafe computer. Then I could compose e-mail ahead
of time and save the connection charges.

Any ideas?

Bob,
     There is such a thing for smart media and memory stick, but
not for compact flash. They are called a "flashpath" adapter.
Compact flash is too thick to fit inside a floppy. In addition,
in my opinion you would not want one of these for four reasons.

1) They require a driver on the host machine, so no taking your
"floppy" to someone else's computer and using it. It is a real
pain. You might as well install a real card reader for all the
effort.

2) They use a battery that wears out frequently and is expensive

3) They are horribly slow by today's standards. Surprise, theyare
as fast/slow as a floppy, about 30K bytes/sec.

4) They are more expensive than a real card reader.

Hello,

does someone know of a 'small' TSR  that frequently logs the battery
voltage with time stamps to a file for further processing? I studied
several voltage monitoring packages on S.U.P.E.R., but to  my knowledge
they either only display it, or they record it in binary  format, which
makes it more difficult for me to decode.

Any hint?

Thanks

Joanne,

This may not be much help, but it sounds like you
simply need to "flush" the buffer so the data is
forced the data card.

Since the machine memory is static, it would make
sense that no flush was needed, but likely the machine
is optimized to write the data to the card in batches
or when manually flushed, since it would require the
overhead of a write operation, which is somewhat
slower.

As I recall, PASCAL should have some sort of flush
command.  Just call it after every data write. (This
may cause a performance hit, though).

Hope this helps.
Questor.

Bruce, you are sending some odd coded text that appears as an attachment
but nothing is immediately readable in ascii using Post/lx.

Just thought you might want to know.

I'll leave all of the discussion intact.

The HP100 was somewhat different than the 200 and acted differently with
some flashcards if I recall correctly.  But I don't recall how those
differences manifest themselves.  It might also be an issue with
the size of the cards.

Is there an easy CF adapter that connects to a serial or parallel port?

These seem to be the only ports you can count on.

But they would still have to have a driver installed.

How is everyone getting information from their HP into someone ELSES
computer.

I can easily do it on my own, I use a laptop with PCMCIA port, but
desktops (especially someone elses) don't usually have PCMCIA.

Any suggestions?

Bob,
     There is such a thing for smart media and memory stick, but
not for compact flash. They are called a "flashpath" adapter.
Compact flash is too thick to fit inside a floppy. In addition,
in my opinion you would not want one of these for four reasons.

1) They require a driver on the host machine, so no taking your
"floppy" to someone else's computer and using it. It is a real
pain. You might as well install a real card reader for all the
effort.

2) They use a battery that wears out frequently and is expensive

3) They are horribly slow by today's standards. Surprise, theyare
as fast/slow as a floppy, about 30K bytes/sec.

4) They are more expensive than a real card reader.

Daniel, Tony,

After Martin Bergvill, I am sooo happy that 2 more power user like you =

the same phone as me. We are bound to see very important developements in =
the
near future. Actually, I just downloaded the last HPLX Digest using the =

The design of the T39m is indeed a bit surprising at first when coming =
from a
Nokia or Siemens phone (I had both).

The thing that I dislike the most is the antenna. On the other hand, the
battery surface of the T39m makes it less slippery when you have it in =
your

locking
the keyboard each time you put the phone in your pocket. As for the =
flashing
led it make the phone easier to find in the dark of my sleeping room when =
I
rush out in the morning.

AFAIK, GPRS is not yet available in Switzerland but I am looking forward =
to
test it.

For SMTP, I now use YAHOO. With POPFIRST it allows me to send mail via =
any
connection or ISP (modem, MochaPPP, GSM, etc...). With the SMTPfrom =
clause of
WWW/LX, I can even have my FROM address listed as Bigfoot.com and not
Yahoo.com (see above). This allows me to post to the list from any ISP.


Let us know if you have success with a HP200LX bluetooth device.

Hi have seen another explanation.  The LX assumes that the PCMCIA card
is removable and can be removed during shut down.  In order to guarantee
data integrity, it closes all file handles after shutting down so you won't
write to the same sector of a different PCMCIA card thereby guaranteeing
data integrity.  However, all programs with file handles to A: drive will
now
have invalid handles!.  I don't remember the solution.

Alfred

My type II adaptor is a Sandisk brand. Judging by the reports on this list,
I'd guess that Sandisk cards and adapters are the most trouble-free. In
fact, I can only ever recall one person having problems with a Sandisk
card, likely due to some problem with his palmtop.

I have an older, full-size (Type II), Viking 10 Mb card that I could never
get to work in my 100LX. It works fine in my 200LX, but when inserted in
the 100LX, the palmtop refuses to turn on. I once tried inserting it in the
100LX while it was on (dangerous and NOT recommended!) and it worked until
the auto time-out turned the 100LX off, after which it refused to turn on
again.

I have an old HP (Full size PCMCIA) flash card with
Stacker compression software on it.

Is there any way that I can use the stacker on the
card and have a notebook running WinNT be able to read
the card?

Secondly, Does anyone remembeber how much more of a
drain on the batteries is the 12 volt version of the
HP cards is than the 5 Volt?

Thanks,
Questor

It's the same difference as between Tyle1 and Type2 PCMCIA cards:
Type 1 is 3(.3?) mm thick, Type 2 is 5 mm thick.

Since the slot of the LX can take both Type 1 and 2 PCMCIA cards, it
can also hold Type 1 and 2 CF cards.

You just need the correct PCMCIA-CF adapter (they are different for
Type1 and Type2 CF cards) and you should take care not to buy a CF card
which has a too high capacity for the 100LX. I think the upper capacity
limits with and without the acecard-driver have been discussed in the
past.

I carry a 3.5 inch floppy disk in my briefcase with a setup that lets
me connect to most any computer with a floppy drive and a serial port.
It allows me to run Filer from the Connectivity Pack on the foreign
computer, and connect to (or from) my HP200LX with the HP serial cable.
The setup came from SUPER--I think it's called CFILER, but I couldn't
check this as SUPER doesn't seem to be responding at the moment.

This came in useful at a conference last month.  A physician presenting
results of a clinical study needed a graphic for his Power Point
presentation.  The image was on my company LAN, so it was simple to ftp
it to my 200LX with LXTCP and my cell phone.  I then went to the hotel's
business center, ran CFILER from my floppy in their computer, linked
with the serial cable, transferred the file to the hard drive, and
finally copied it to another floppy which I provided to the presenter.

One problem I've run into is that CFILER seems to frequently lock up the
host computer I run it on.  So far it hasn't caused any problems I'm
aware of, but it doesn't inspire confidence in the owner of the other
computer!

Well, you can usually select a primitive IR mode and map the IR port to a
COM port through the BIOS setup. A simple terminal program with
Kermit/Xmodem (much faster) support should then be sufficient.

However, as has already been suggest elsewhere, I would recommend a serial
cable for much faster transfer speeds. You can either make a cable
yourself or try to find a HP48/95LX cable. Coupled with the program "zip"
(no relation to the compression software), a tiny serial communications
program with specific support for the 95LX, it makes for a very convenient
setup (well, if you like command line anyway ;-) and much faster speeds
than you can get through the built-in terminal software.

It's a bit slow in softfont mode, but not not too bad. I personally found
the 80x24 character soft mode, which Freyja also offers, too small and
slow (mostly too small). In that mode, it's not really possible to read
the text unless you already know what it says...

Sorry about the burst of code yesterday, I can only assume that The Powers

Assuming you can read this, what I meant to say, in reply to Questor Jones'

Also, I do have a older 10 Mb Viking Type II flash which works only in my
200LX. It causes my 100LX to refuse to turn on, as if it draws too much

A more modest approach I have used to get smaller 3rd party info
(small graphics, etc) to my LX and then onto another's PC
(usually a laptop) is to FTP the item to my LX then simply email
it to the person requesting the info. The person requesting the
item simply retrieves their email and there it is.

If that fails, it's still possible to salvage the situation via
the ZIP utility. Like you, I carry the setup on another media
and run ZIP from both the LX and the other person's system, then
just send it over via the serial cable. The "other media" I carry
is just a Type II PCMCIA PC card labeled "TRAVEL DISK" that has
innumerable utilities, setups, configurations, reference texts,
etc on it.

Using ZIP is, of course, more to the point of the original
question: How to get info from one's LX to another's PC.

I control my domain name as long as I pay the yearly fee.  I have a =

other people to use, however.

 I
send mail using Compuserve's SMTP server.  Since I have signed on to =
Compuserve
with my password, Compuserve knows who I am and I can use their SMTP =
server.  I
have to use a web-type access to send mail via my "domain name holder" =

 I put "steve@carderfamily.net" as my "From:" address in WWW/LX even =

name
unless you dig though the internet headers.  In fact, if you look at the
headers of this E-mail you can see this, unless your E-mail program hides =
the
full internet headers.

If compuserve didn't allow me to put in another "from:" address, then I =
could
use a "reply to:" address with my carderfamily.net address.  I could also =
just
use the web page access to my carderfamily.net mailbox to send and =

ABC/LX, which if I remember correctly has just become freeware, has a
utility called ABCUTIL that when run logs the current battery voltages in
text format to a file. This could be setup to autorun from an appoinment
book alarm at the required interval. I use this to log the battery voltage
every day (once per day)

It may be worth visiting www.dasoft.com to see what is on their site.

I use my Nokia 8810 for connections since two years and I know that

I am not sure. It is difficult to calculate what is cheaper. If you use
Hscsd you will pay more per minute compared to Gprs, but you will get
higher throughput(well at least here in Norway with Telenor). (Tony how
was the speed on Gprs down where you are?)

I am not sure how to calculate this. For wap it is cheaper, but with a
connection to the internet with Www/lx I am not sure. I just got the
last bill from my cell provider and it was not nice at all.:-(

That is a great deal. I would like that..well I should be satisfied I
pay only for the calls/datatransfer and not for the subscription. A lot
of sms'es and gprs on the last bill. :-(

We have had free wap use all weekends this month. Ofcourse to get

interesting wapsites out there?

Well I kind of like it because it is small. But Ericsson's have always
looked different and maybe a little boring. But the new T68 looks good
with its colorscreen..but other than that it is a T39m inside..

I have never liked Siemens..but thats me.:-) I have tried/used most of
the phones from Siemens. But they must do something right since they
sell alot of phones in Europe.

I know what you are talking about, but I like the surface of the
battery. Strange I have never gotten that feeling from touching the
battery.

It is actually 1400mAh. It is very thick compared to the BUS-11. I use
the big one at night, but I would like a spare BUS-11 to put in my
wallet. I will order some to the shop tomorrow.

I liked the flip on the Nokia 8110(i). I even liked the 7110. The T39m
is okey. It is a little hard to open. But I rather have flip that works
than a flip that opens by itself(T28 had a flip that was supposed to
pop out when you hit a button, but the flip seldom worked)

It was better to finish a call on the 8110/7110, but is okey on the T39m
too. The R520,,how huge is it? At the store we have never had it
because we were afraid that it was as huge as the R320. And I think it
is.

Yes I also agree. The keys on the T39 is _not_ good.

Yes it works like a charm. Not sure how cheap it is, but it works

It would be cool to get that to work. I see Ericsson has launched a new

work.

Socket has a Type I Bluetooth CF card that the specs say uses 75 mA
active and 1.4mA idle. This is within HP200lx specs. Any chance of
someone writing sware that will let this be used on the HP200lx or is
that a complete pipe dream?? (Product No BL4508-309) Socket's
new Type I CF 802.11b card is touted as "low power" but is <25mA idle
and 170mA- 280mA during transmission, over the 150 limit... (WL6000-320).
If the Bluetooth card could work then perhaps one could use Possio's PX20
Bluetooth to 802.11b bridge to get on the network?!?

PK,

From their FAQ:
(http://www.halfkeyboard.com/support/index.html#faq)

Q: "Do I need any special drivers to run the Half Keyboard on a
PC or Mac?"

A: "No. The Half Keyboard is plug-compatible with a standard
keyboard. It doesn' need any special drivers."

I think this makes it clear.

> 'using it in my machine' -- u must b using it with the

Once again, No! No software. But please go to
http://www.halfkeyboard.com and check for yourself - no
software for PCs with their hardware.

> its just possible .. just .. that the sofware may work with
> any other keyboard .. tho i doubt it .. have you tried the

Why speculate over and over when the information is right at
your finger tips at the sites I posted?

> if not wanting to try .. could you let me try it out here ..
> then i could go on to buy it from Mitas ..

Try the better spelling <G> - Matias, Edgar Matias. Search on
that...

http://www.halfkeyboard.com --- the hardware

http://www.halfqwerty.com --- the software only

> i seem to not find the 'only sofware version' of the
> halfkeyboard or halfqwerty ..

I posted the url in my first message I believe. Once again:
http://www.halfqwerty.com

I think there is confusion: Halfkeboard site sells hardware,
and among the hardware there is a full keyboard called X2
which is a normal kbd, but it is rigged internally like two
half keyboards, i.e. you can operate it as a regular kbd, or
as a half kbd ignoring the half you do not want to use.

That site does not sell software.

The second site sells a program (a driver) from The Matias
Corporation which implements the same trick on ANY keyboard.
The software is $400.00, so the incentive is clearly biased
towards the hardware (which sells for $99 although the
wearable halfkbd sells for $299.)

> do need help .. if you could do a little bit of hard

I amnot sure how much MORE work I added here, except maybe
repackage the info. There are two more steps now: Decide to
buy or not after visiting the sites, and (2) buy it. Both of
these you must do now.

I was feeling the pain in my days of programming and that is
why I decided to post it.

Aha! a new one: "Three Kisses" <G>... Well, no need really to
be so effusive. a "Thanks" would be more than enough. Just go
get the detailed in and take care of your hand.

Good suggestion, I'll try it.

----------
> How is everyone getting information from their HP into someone ELSES
> computer.

I carry a 3.5 inch floppy disk in my briefcase with a setup that lets
me connect to most any computer with a floppy drive and a serial port.
It allows me to run Filer from the Connectivity Pack on the foreign
computer, and connect to (or from) my HP200LX with the HP serial cable.
The setup came from SUPER--I think it's called CFILER, but I couldn't
check this as SUPER doesn't seem to be responding at the moment.

This came in useful at a conference last month.  A physician presenting
results of a clinical study needed a graphic for his Power Point
presentation.  The image was on my company LAN, so it was simple to ftp
it to my 200LX with LXTCP and my cell phone.  I then went to the hotel's
business center, ran CFILER from my floppy in their computer, linked
with the serial cable, transferred the file to the hard drive, and
finally copied it to another floppy which I provided to the presenter.

One problem I've run into is that CFILER seems to frequently lock up the
host computer I run it on.  So far it hasn't caused any problems I'm
aware of, but it doesn't inspire confidence in the owner of the other
computer!

Bob,

What is the zip utility?

Bob

-------------

A more modest approach I have used to get smaller 3rd party info
(small graphics, etc) to my LX and then onto another's PC
(usually a laptop) is to FTP the item to my LX then simply email
it to the person requesting the info. The person requesting the
item simply retrieves their email and there it is.

If that fails, it's still possible to salvage the situation via
the ZIP utility. Like you, I carry the setup on another media
and run ZIP from both the LX and the other person's system, then
just send it over via the serial cable. The "other media" I carry
is just a Type II PCMCIA PC card labeled "TRAVEL DISK" that has
innumerable utilities, setups, configurations, reference texts,
etc on it.

The idea is that email harvester programs filter out abuse@,
root@, postmaster@ etc. addresses from their database, since
these addresses are often used to report spam and lodge
complaints. I don't have any evidence that this is the case, but
it seems to work. I ran an informal test on a website I did for
work where I had a regular email contact, and an abuse@ contact,
on the pages. The abuse address got perhaps a half dozen spam in
a years time, the other got several per week. I know others who
have had similar results.

I've also had people that were very apologetic about writing to
abuse@ when they didn't have a complaint, but they couldn't find
another address. So maybe this wouldn't be a good idea from a
business standpoint  :)

My guess is the likelyhood of someone writing code for
this would be the price of the Bluetooth card and the
availabilty of the specifications.

The card is $135, but how much does the service run?

Are the specs in public domain?

The people who hold my domain name (verisign?) will forward any
mail sent to  that address. I just send it all to my local ISP's
address.
It costs extra ($30/year?) but makes it all realy simple.
All my e-mail is forwarded through my domain acount which sends
it to my local ISP account. I get mail from me local ISP's POP3
server and use their SMTP server for outgoing mail.
If I change ISPs I reset the forwarding on my domain account.

(For you, who cannot click to that destination each day there
are solutions:

1. Get WWW/LX Version 3 and then use Tony's excellent RoboWeb.
This can be made to go daily to http://www.dasoft.com/ann.htm
and download it and shown like an email item. Then you can see
what's new daily and quickly detect when something _is_ new
and announced.

2. You can login to D&A's mailing list where I try to announce
new stuff, many times before I put them on the Webpage or even
here...

To sign up to our Announcements Mailing List, email to:

  da.info-subscribe@topica.com

3. Use www.netmind.com from Mind-It. The main motif of this
website is "Change Happens!" <G> and you can ask them to track
http://www.dasoft.com/ann.htm for changes.

I am sure the creative juices here will find a few other
ways to keep abreast of changes... So publish them!

The second site sells a program (a driver) from The Matias
Corporation which implements the same trick on ANY keyboard.
The software is $400.00, so the incentive is clearly biased
towards the hardware (which sells for $99 although the
wearable halfkbd sells for $299.)

THIS CLEARS EVERYTHING ..

This was my answer to a similar mail:

Until now it is not clear at all, if a Bluetooth PCMCIA or
Compact flash card will work in the palmtop.

It depends on how the card identifies itself and after which
PCMCIA specification it is designed. Please note that the
palmtop only supports a subset of standard PCMCIA, because the
palmtop was brought to market some time before the standard
was released.

For example, I don't believe, that a BT PCMCIA cards identifies
itsself as a modem card, but I don't know. Anyway, if it is not
a known card type for LXCIC, quite some information and
knowledge is needed to implement BT cards into LXCIC, just the
same way as Rod Whitby did it for network cards.

Only if this problem is solved, we may think of a BT software
stack for the palmtop. This will be a major challenge for one
of the programmers of this list, at the level of IrDA
implementation. Andreas Garzotto did IrDA, but I'm not sure,
if he would do it or anything similar again.

Just think for a moment what has to be done to handle a
multipoint connections on the palmtop. For example, the palmtop
could have a BT connection to a mobile phone and at the same time
a BT connection to a desktop and a printer...

These protocols of today are specified by all major players in
the market and are anything else but straight forward and what
one would expect after 20 years of experience in the field.

In other words: They are HORRIBLE. I got my lesson while
writing the PDU converter. One would think you just have to
translate a 160 char ascii string to another format and add
some adress information and ready is the resulting PDU.

Can you believe that there are 4 headers with 4 different
codings schemes required just to send 160 bytes over GSM?
Plus an 8bit to 7bit compression which drove me crazy.

No, I'm glad to see a possible BT solution for the palmtop
through the serial port without the need of any additional
software.

There are still some around fo rth eparallel port.
Usually they are all USB now. I think you can now count on USB, too,
except someone of the people you want to share data with
uses a quite old computer.

If you want parallel port, look on ebay. They are easy to install,
require a driver and mostly allow you to daisy-chain a parallel
printer.

Regarding the serial port: You already have a serial port CF card
reader! You LX is one. Just put a CF card into the slot, connect with
the HP connectivity cable, load LX communications software on the PC
(Transfile Win200, zip, laplink, whatever...), and you can access the
flash card from the desktop.
But this is not the choice for fast access to large files!
I have never heard of real CF card readers for the serial port. They
would not be much faster than the LX-connection, so you wouldn't have
any benefit from such a device.

That's true.
(I don't really matter how surfaces are of the phone, how it looks, or
if it is designed as it would come from Porsche or Colani. For me only
the innards and maybe size and weight count).

If you only transfer one or two email, GPRS is probably cheaper.
If you want to browse with HV and only read relativly short HTMLs, it
may also be cheaper.
But if you want to download the latest WWW/LX from ftp.dasoft.com, GSM
is certainly cheaper!

I'll prepare some graphs soon which will show what is cheaper for which
purpose. This graph will only apply to the German E-Plus network and
its prices, though.
but maybe I'll make up a lotus 123 sheet for it so you can easily adapt
it to other network's tarif schemes.
Give me some time, please.

Don't know.
I only tried to login to by bank wap site and search for stock quotes
so far.
But no matter how accurate I give the stock name, the search site has
never found what I searched for. :-(

As I said, I am not interested in fancy design or color screens. Just
in good and reasonable hardware design and in small size and little
weight.

They are more user-friendly than Nokia and Ericsson. At least they are
said to be. And everyone knows Siemens in Europe as a very old and
successful company with good product support. (ALthough I don't know if
this is still correct... I work for Siemens now for over a year and I
have the impression everthing is veeeery veeeery slow and bureaucratic
;-)

I am quite sensitive regarding such surfaces. I even cannot touch the

I think I'll never need a stronger battery. 300h Standby is .... more
than enough..
Although I have the impression that something is wrong here.
The phone sometimes says, it has only 60h standby left, just after a
full charge cycle. Sometimes it shows "220h standby" and 1 hour later
it says only 50h....

I'll observe this further and maybe contact Ericsson support.

On the Ericsson websites it looks like it is as big as the Nokia 6210.

Serial is pretty slow.  Parallel is a lot faster but USB is
faster yet and is available on all but the oldest computers.

You can get a PCMCIA or compact flash adapter for Parallel or
USB.  I'm not sure about serial ones.  They need a driver but
that just means having a floppy disk with the driver on it in
most cases.  The driver for my Sandisk USB reader came on a
floppy.

You can always depend on the parallel port being there.  All the
computers made in the last few years will have USB ports.

If this involves your palmtop an easy way is to carry the cable
with you.  It rolls up pretty small.  It's a thin wire.
Hyperterminal in Windows can be used to connect with your
palmtop so that's really all you need.  Again, serial is slow.
But that does make it simple.

Hi T39m users:

did you find the flap counter already?
Go into the service menu >*<<*<*
press 3 and 9.
It shows you how many times the flap has been opened and closed.
Also the microphone test is nice: It creates a microphone-speaker loop,
so you can speak to yourself through the phone and you can create a
feedback when you close the flap a few cm and hold your hand so that
the sound from the speaker is directly leaded into the mic.

Hi Daniel and List:

You posted an example of adding an intem to a map, then adding
a note to it which is indented. Something like

      Item X
      Note

When you view the note immediately after adding it, it shows
indented. After you save the map, the note loses the
indentation and become like this:

      Item X
Note

Tony and I can reproduce this. Of course, if you formatted the
note somehow, this formatting is lost.

So here is the problem for us: How can MM/LX distinguish
between a note and just a child:


      Item X
         Note of item X
         Child of Item X

Your solution is good! Put some distinguishing mark in the
note in col 1 and that establishes it (in the eyes of MM/LX)
as a note, like so:

      Item X
.        note of item X
         Child of Item X

Note the period in column 1 in the second line.

IOW, there isn't anything we can do about it programmatically.
One possibility is to add something automatically to the Note
in column 1, which solves your problem but may open a problem
for someone else. Another possibility is to put some binary
mark, but that defeats the premist we have used in MM/LX that
the file underlying the map is a plain ASCII file.

Looks like your solution is excellent.

I guess I started this thread when I mentioned I was using
POBOX.COM.  Some of the advantages I see to using them:

$15USD/year is cheaper than the personal domain name fee.
6 years for the cost of 5 made it even cheaper.

You get 3 ids and can change them as I please.  My 'rlbrooks' id
won't change but I sometime change the others as they start
collecting more spam.  All 3 ids forward to the same
destination (my current ISP).

Because the do charge $$$ for the service I am less worried
about them going away if they were solely funding themselves
with web advertising.  Also they don't append any ads or other
banners to my mail.

Along with email forwarding you also get web page forwarding
included.  I don't have a personal web page so I point mine at
my favorite cause -->    http://www.pobox.com/~rlbrooks

They offer spam filtering.

They offer Vacation/out of town auto replies.

They have some reporting functions you can use.

Some email can be routed to your pager.

I don't use most of these services, some of which are additional
charges.  They've been reliable (I've been with them since 95 or
96) and their customer service has been prompt to answer my
emails to them.

They also offer a 30 FREE trial if you're curious.

I'm a satisfied customer.

Cheers... Russ

MM/LX distinguishes already between child and note by putting a "|" (by
default) into every note line in coloum 1. So I don't see any reason
why formatting must be modified. It could simply be saved 1:1 as
entered.

I have created a test map to show you how my MM (v1.1a) behaves:
Item X is the central item in my example, but it doesn't matter if it
is the central item or some child.

   Item X
|     note of item X
|     note line 2 of item X
      Child of item X
|        note of child of item X
|            this line shall be indented by 4 spaces.
|        note of child of item X


This was after the _first_ F10 (save). Note: the one note line _is_
still indented by 4 spaces as I have entered it!

I did another save after a "dummy" change of the map and the
problematic note (added a character and deleted it again, just to let
MM think I have changed anything) and:

   Item X
|     note of item X
|     note line 2 of item X
      Child of item X
|        note of child of item X
|        this line shall be indented by 4 spaces.
|        note of child of item X

The line isn't indented anymore!
If I now add a period to preserve my formatting, it looks like this:

   Item X
|     note of item X
|     note line 2 of item X
      Child of item X
|        note of child of item X
|        .   this line shall be indented by 4 spaces.
|        note of child of item X

The period is NOT in column 1 of the mm file, but in column 1 of the
note (this is logical, I think).

But for my understandings it should not be necessary to add such a
period, because MM distinguishes already between note and child by
this "|" in column 1 (the character given by parameter "NoteIndent"
in mm.cfg).

So MM can exactly know to which item the note belongs to, even if it is
formatted in any way, because a note for an item is everytime placed
directly under the corresponding item, and it can know that _is_ a
note at all because of the "|".

So I see no problem in changing the code of MM so that it preserves all
note formatting.

> Looks like your solution is excellent.

Thank you! ;-)
It is an excellent work-around. But no solution.

I am very sorry if I have missed something in my argumentation here, if
there is something that prevents Andreas from changing the MM code the
way I suggest, please let me know. I am not a programmer expert.


TO BE CONTINUED IN MY NEXT POSTING!

CONTINUAATION OF MY PREVIOUS POSTING 2/2:

I just did another test with the parameter "NoteIndent" in mm.cfg left
without a value, but NOT commented out.
In that case, MM behaves totally different:
It saves each note beginning with column 1 OF THE MM FILE, no matter
which level the item is the note belongs to, and without any
distinguishing mark. Formatting is also destroyed by deleting leading
spaces.


My test file now looks like this:

   Item X
note of item X
note line 2 of item X
      Child of item X
note of child of item X
    this line shall be indented by 4 spaces
note of child of item X


Ah, now I see clearer!
THIS is the PE outline compatibility format!!
I always have wondered how MM/LX data should be easily exchanged with
PE...

Okay, and in this format, it is indeed problematic to preserve note
formatting.
Okay, I see now where the problem is, but it only exists when and if
NoteIndent= is left without any value in mm.cfg.

The advantage is the easier data exchange between PE outline format and
MM. The disadvantage is that you have to let every note line begin with
a character other than a space.

Of course you can also exchange MM and PE data with NoteIndent=| but it
results in the following potential problems:

When using data from MM/LX in PE outline:
  outlining still works, because indentation of childs and so on
  follows the standard. But all text between header lines (the lines
  indented by n*3 spaces) may be difficult to read due to the
  indentation with | + spaces

When using data from PE outline in MM/LX:
  Not sure if this works at all. It works, if you set NoteIndent=
  (no value) in mm.cfg. But if you comment NoteIndent out or set it to
  whatever character, it may lead into incompatibility problems.
  Have note tested it yet.


Avi, do you now understand my point of view?
I understand yours: You probably have NoteIndent without a value.
I used the default (NoteIndent commented out, so it was set to "|" by
default) all the time.

Conclusion:
I think note formatting could be preserved, IF NoteIndent is set.
If NoteIndent is set to nothing, you have to add a leading character to
every indented note line, as you said.
A period may be a good solution.
MM/LX could maybe be changed to add such a character automatically in
this case.
Just do the following (in C syntax with fictive variable names):

if ((NoteIndent=="") && (current_note_lineİ0¨==' '))
{
  current_note_lineİ0¨='.'
}

That should do everything that's needed.
What do you think?

What about a net monitor, Daniel?
There is one e.g. in the NOKIA 6150 which can be
activated with a little DOS programm on the HPLX.
Once activated it lets you know important parameters
like cell id, receiver level or which channel you are on.
Is there something like that in the in the T39m?

PMFJI. I use a server called doteasy.com. They charge $19/year,
and offer unlimited mail accounts and aliases as well as hosting my =
website.

I just want to say that you do not need to forward your mail
to you ISP. I use POST/LX on the palmtop and Outlook Express
on the dsktop. With both programs, it is simple to set it up so
that after logging on to my ISP, each mailbox (I have 4
mailboxes, 2 of which I check regularly) will be accessed and
mail download. I can log on to any ISP and get my mail. It is
very useful when travelling.

Just my $0.02's worth.

I don't know if the phone has a net monitor, but if it has, it is
probably only activateable from outside.

If someone knows about a (DOS) program or maybe an AT command (would
work from WWW/LX via IrDA!) to activate it, I would be very thankful!

thats true for most mail servers, but not always it is possible to
connect from an IP outside the ISP pool. (which is a reason for me,
_not_ to use such a server)

The advantage to forward the mail to the provider is that you have
ususally a faster connection to the mailserver of your ISP than to a
server somewhere in the Internet.

I tried both ways in the past, and now I do like you do, I use a
(free) mail service independent from my provider and do not forward,
because the speed difference was neglectible most of the time. But
this may vary with the mail service you use.

cheers,
Werner

I just thought I should mention that I tried a
brand-name CF PCMCIA Adaptor and all my compact flash
cards work fine now.

I don't know why but I still need to run my old driver
from when I was using a full size ATA Flash card.
Otherwise, I get "Device not Ready"

I was under the impression that with a CF card and
PCMCIA adaptor, I should not need a driver...Is that
correct?

Does anyone know of a place that sells a light for the
100LX?

I know I can build one, but I think that would cost
more in time and effort than it would be to buy one
from someplace.

Also, along the lines of building one, has anyone ever
adapted a GameBoy Snake light for use with a 100LX?
Seems like it would be a time-save in the creation
process.

earlier i used mail.com .. now i use india.com which
is a part of mail.com .. both are free email services ..

one can give a forwarding address .. my forwarding
address is the 'current' ISP .. when the 500 hours of
one account with the ISP expires  the other account is
still active .. so i change the forwarding mail address
to the other account ..

both accounts are with the same ISP who has a POP3
facility

the main advantage is that everyone knows my easily
rememberable email address : pksharma@india.com

this receives the email and bounces it immediately to
my designated email address .. i can even forward
all emails to a third person's email address when i am
out of calcutta ..

this is certainly a superior method .. having only one
email address for the last 7 years helped .. where the
email ultimately goes .. no one needs to know, remember
or bother

as explained above .. if your email address was yourname@mail.com
and the forwarding address is to your regular ISP address .. your
ISP will receive the mail and you can access and download the
email .. but what happens when you are out of town and have to
us another relative's or friend's ISP for surfing and downloading
email .. you JUST CAN'T login into your regular ISP .. that's when
a universal email address like yourname@yourcountry.com (mail.com
has lots of yourcountry.com aliases) comes in very very handy ..
not to mention that you may even change your ISP but don't need to
change the email address to the new email address provided by the
new ISP and then inform everyone .. its a real pain .. and most
people don't remember/bother/try to change new email addresses
even over a year or two year .. a constant email address  has a
stability look and feel ..

most mailservers are not free if they allow POP3 facility .. and
if there is no POP3 facility, reading emails on line is a real pain ..
especially if you get abt 50 to 100 emails a day .. like me

Subject:      "Internal Stack overflow" - what to do?
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Hi friends,

I have a problem with my nightly backup job, initiated by three
appointments in the appointment book.

Almost every night it hangs now, often without any error mesage, but
today I finally found an "internal stack overflow, System halted"
message on the screen.

I have described my exact backup setup on
http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/lxbackup but here a short overview:
Appointment 1 (2:00) starts a macro which closes all appolications, and
since I use PIM/PE it is now linked to another macro which opens the
phone book and prints it to a file using a smartclip which is suitable
for the PIM/PE database format, so I have an up-to-date contacts
database in PIM every day.

Appointment 2 calls my backup.bat, which does several things besides
the backup itself: It checks the battery voltage, checks the databases,
creates all my Post/LX ADR files from the contacts database (with GDBIO
and my PDB2ADR - oh, it calls a seperate batch for that!) and once this
is done it begins to zip the whole C: drive to A:. A report is written
into report.txt

Appointment 3 inserts the contents of report.txt into an 8:00am
appointment in the appointment book, so I see if it has failed or not
and for what reason.


This has worked for several weeks without any problem, but I must have
modified something which now makes it unstable. I don't know what.
Most of the times the whole thing hangs within the pkzip job, sometimes
it hangs in the first macro, seldom the pkzip is successful and it
hangs in the second macro.

I already tried to remove some TSRs (but only one at a time) without
success. I certainly did that with all TSR which might have been added
around the time where the problem appeared.

Here is which TSRs are loaded:

config.sys:
* device=a:\bin_c\spd31.exe /M /O /C
* device=c:\bin\kbuf128.sys
* device=a:\programs\secdev\secdev.sys a:\sddrive.!#$
* shell=d:\dos\command.com /p /e:1024
* buffers=30,0
* files=50
* stacks=9,256

(Could it help increasing the stacks statement? If yes, to what value?)

autoexec.bat:
* c:\bin\batset.com /c /t=18:00
* subst e: a:\
* c:\bin\alapim.com
* c:\bin\lxcic /l
* c:\programs\lxpro\lxpro
* c:\bin\lighton.com
* carousel
(the last one is software carousel)

Thanks a lot
daniel

P.S.: It makes no difference if I leave the palmtop in another SC
session than SysMgr or if I switch to the SysMgr session before I go to
bed.
Some people reported hangups when calling a macro from appointment book
if SC must switch to SysMgr first. But that's not the issue here.
And: I leave the palmtop on AC power all night, since I don't want the
backup to fail, the palmtop to crash and then the batteries to run
empty, because the palmtop doesn't switch off anymore.
I have not tried it this this hangup also happens when running from
batteries.

Hi everyone, greetings again from sunny South Africa :-)

What a co-incidence! I was about to post a message to inquire if anyone can
assist re improving the SPS spell checker I use on my HP95 as it seems very
limited :-(  I 'think' there are different versions available (more words?) but
not even remembering from where I obtained the SPS program I have so guess I
should dig out my old (5 1/4 ") archives and try TL <big grin>!

Can anyone provide any more details re installing and running TL on the 95
(especially with the built in MEMO application)?

Looking forward to a favourable response soon but until then, as always, KEEP
SMILING!

It would probably be easier to buy a manual on ebay than to try to print one
off (if that is what you want). There is a place in Florida that had 21
copies (User Guide and Quick Start) that they were dutch auctioning for $7
plus $3.90 postage. I bought a set for myself. The contact was: Luciana
Picoli (luciana@prolink-group.com), Prolink Group Inc., 218 Sunny Isles

There were some limitations with the 100lx with reference to
flash cards that were dealt with in the 200lx.  I don't remember
what they were but I remember with certain flashcards a driver
was needed on the 100lx and not needed on the 200lx.

I've never used anything but a Sandisk card and a Sandisk
adapter so I've never experienced any of these problems.

I've seen such good deals on other brands that I've been tempted
but each time I couldn't remember if this was a troublesome card
or troublefree card, so I held out for Sandisk because I knew
they were ok.  If I had a better memory I'd probably have other
cards. :)

I also have a 200 lx and a 100lx and I've used various compact
flash cards with adapters and regular PCMCIA cards between the
two units and never had a problem.  I don't actually know that
I've tried all the combinations so maybe tomorrow I'll have a
problem but it's already trouble free enough that I won't mind
too much.

Hot insertion is _NOT_ supported on the 100LX, while is is supported on the
95LX and 200LX.

SanDisk says that the following Flash Cards work with the 100LX, no driver
needed: SDP-XX, SDP5-XX, SDPL5-XX, and SDP5A-XX (except where XX = 80, 110,
or 175, which are Type III cards). To format a card on the 100LX, first
partition the card with FDISK100, then format with FORMAT.

Also from SanDisk:
"CompactFlash (CF) is electrically equivalent to PC Card ATA, the mass
storage interface defined by
PCMCIA. The main differences between the two are the size of the cartridge
and the number of pins on
the connector. CF uses a 50 pin connector and PC Card ATA uses a 68 pin
connector. Even though the CF
connector has fewer pins than the PC Card ATA connector, there is no
reduction in features because both
CF and PC Card ATA connectors use less than 50 signals. "

Hi all,

I just found a book for $2.50 on the shelf of our local goodwill shop
called, "Turbo Pascal Programming 101" and it has me intrigued.  It's a
book aimed at beginners, and it sounds like Turbo Pascal 7.0 for DOS is
an excellent programming language.  I think that I would enjoy learning
that language.  Can anyone tell me if it will run on my double speed
32meg HP200LX?  If so, are there any installation problems or tips that I
should be aware of?

Also, does anyone know where I could find a copy of Turbo Pascal 7.0?

Cheers!

I received a USPS Priority Mail package today. Interestingly,
the package had been opened and inspected by the Post Office
somewhere along the way. It was just an AC adapter, but it must
have set off some kind of red flag to warrant opening the
package and probing its contents.

Even though the package had a std postal "tape" stamp to prove
postage paid, it also had a rather large, red, circular ink
stamp showing the date and location - presumably the date and
place of the inspection as it differed from the date and place
where the package had been mailed. No delay in transit, however.

Does anyone know how big of an impact there is between

I saw a 12 volt one for sale, but I was wondering how
much less battery life I will get vs. using a 5 volt
card.

Try this.  Create a spreadsheet named auto123.wk1 (the name is special). =
 Lotus
123 will automatically load a worksheet with this name on startup.  If =
you have
automatic execution of macros turned on, then the macro in this file =
assigned
to \0 will be run.  So, in cell a1 enter '\0 (including the leading =
single
quote).  In cell a2 enter '/fr{name} (again with the leading single =
quote).
Now do Menu Range Name and select cell a2.  Name it \0 then set c:\_dat =
as your
default subdirectory for Lotus 123 and save auto123.wk1 there.  Close 123 =
the
press the button to start it.  If all goes well you will see a list of =
files in
c:\_dat to select.

Yes, they are interchangeable.  I have used a 200LX with my old 100LX's =

I needed a driver named something like "acecard.com" for an old
IBM SSF 40Meg card on my 100LX.

I heard these SSF cards could be made 100LX compatible by
rewriting a "tuple" but I couldn't get that far, so I just used
acecard.com. It worked great.

Exactly, no problems with Sandisk on 100/200:)
And no problems with anything on a 200 :)

My personal experience is that older, 12 volt cards draw sudden, big, =
spikes of
power when the palmtop is turned on.  I had a lot of trouble with regular,
single use alkaline batteries.  They couldn't handle the sudden drain and =
their
voltage dropped low enough to send the palmtop into a low battery automati=
c
shutdown.  So, I would press the ON button and the screen would "blink" =
and go
off.  I couldn't get the palmtop to turn on.  If I plugged in the AC =
adaptor, I
could finally get the palmtop to turn on, but the C: drive was often =
corrupted.

When I used lithium batteries, or NiMH rechargeables I didn't have any =
trouble
with the palmtop not turning on.  I did notice a slight decrease in =
overall
battery life, but not as much as I would have expected from my problems =
with
the alkaline batteries.

BTW, I still have the 30 Meg Flash card I described above, but I never =
use it
now.  You (or anyone) can have it for $5 plus shipping costs.  E-mail me
privately if you want it.

I have a feeling that the 95 would not be compatible with Turbo
Lightning but could be wrong.  I don't recall if the 95 runs its
applications in a graphic mode like the HP100/200 where the various apps
are actually graphics based, I believe.  In which case, TL would not
come up or work as those tsr's would not popup over a graphics app.  In
addition, the 95's dos compatibility was not perfect.

Good luck

It will run.
I have used it on my palmtop a lot.
I don't know if it can be installed without problems directly on the
palmtop. I have installed it on my desktop and then moved it from there
to the LX (using the same path names etc.)
Then I have cut it down so that it still fits my needs but takes only
abt. 2.5MB of disk space.
The built-in editor is a little bit slow sometimes (IIRC).

Heelo,

Any suggestion for subject? I have SCAN for DOS by McAfee which works on 200lx, but the newest DAT file I have is from 18/9/98. SCAN is no more supported. Norton Antivirus for DOS which seems to be suported needs 286+ and Fprot needs 386+.

Does anyone knows supported antivirus program which will work on XT class computer?

I don't think that many real mode DOS viruses have been written since '98,
to be honest, so I wonder a newer program will be any better or even if
virus protection on the LX is worth the effort? Besides, I imagine viruses
will crash and/or behave very ungracefully on the LX, where many of the
programs are in ROM, and thus read only. For instance, any virus expecting
to be able to infect COMMAND.COM is in for a nasty surprise...

I'm curious - has anyone ever tested how well (or bad) the LX copes with
virus infections?

Save the RAM drive to the flash card, pull your flash card,  then Ctrl -
Shift - On and erase the RAM drive.

Use a notebook computer with updated virus scanners (easier to find and
probably cheap) to clean the card.

The reason you didn't get an error message the other time was
probably because it locked up first.  When you did get the error
message it might have been valid.  Probably was.  But when the
computer locks up it's likely to do just about anything so the
message might possibly be a fluke.  But likely it's valid.

Something you might try is to run each of those macros/bat files
manually and reboot in between.  If one causes a problem then
look more closely at the various parts of it or at the macro/bat
file running it.

If that doesn't do it you can probably patch the problem by
having each macro/bat file call a little program (usually called
cold.com or reboot.com) that will reboot the machine when it's
done, so there should be plenty of stack for the next phase when
the alarm comes.  This might get you by while you work on a
solution.  The file is available at simtel and lots of other dos
download sites.  I think it's also at ZDNET's PC Magazine tools
download.  I have a copy if you need it.  Just send a private
email and I'll send it in the reply.  It's a very short program.
Just a few bytes long.

I don't think playing with the stacks word in config.sys will
have anything to do with it.  That's about stacks used by
hardware interrupts if I remember right.

Another thing might be to set alarms just far enough apart so
you can sit and watch the entire process.  Maybe put echo
statements in where you can't tell exactly what it's doing, but
first try without them.  Then when it fails you can see where it
happens.

It can't hurt to try but I'll be a little surprised if Turbo
Lightning will function under SysMgr.  Borland's TSRs liked to
think they were the only TSRs running and they were pretty
finicky.  I think I remember that Sidekick wouldn't run on my
95.  But it's been a while and I'm not sure.

Daniel,

I don't know what may have gone wrong with your backup setup, but to find
out, why don't you go through the process manually? This way you may be
able to see the point at which it fails.

My other suggestion about your backup strategy (which has nothing to do
with your problem): Instead of disabling your Daily Greeting, why not use
it to report the success or failure of the backup? You will have to make
sure that your backup finishes and writes its report before midnight each
day, but then you will see the report automatically each morning, without
having to make it into an appointment. Just a thought...

That is right. Probably majority of new viruses "cannot be run in dos mode" I think check of updates to some virus database after end of 98 should answer this question. But personaly I have seen some viruses which could cause serious damage to files on A
drive on 200lx. Of course snaning CF card in notebook will help for sure but this needs notebook and makes 200lx not standalone unit. And when I download something from internet directly to 200lx without acess to desktop PC I can theoretically be in
trouble.

MS-DOS R.I.P.

By Jonathan Erickson
October 29, 2001

MS-DOS passed away Thursday, October 25, 2001, at the Marriott Marquis
Hotel on Times Square in New York City.

MS-DOS was born in August 1980, in Tukwila, Washington, the creation of Tim
Paterson and the Seattle Computer Company. Initially called QDOS 0.10
(short for "Quick and Dirty Operating System"), MS-DOS was a lifelong
resident of the Seattle area. In late 1980, nonexclusive rights for 86-DOS
0.3, as the operating system was then known, were sold to Microsoft. In
July 1981, as Paterson recounted in a June 1983 BYTE article entitled "A
Short History of MS-DOS," Microsoft bought all rights to the DOS from
Seattle Computer and changed the name of the operating system to "MS-DOS."

In the 1980s and early 1990s, MS-DOS was arguably the most widely used
computer program in the world. There were many reasons for this, the least
of which was the historical rise of the personal computer. But what set
MS-DOS apart from other players in the personal computer operating system
arena was Paterson's desire to make application development as easy as
possible for software developers. To this end, Paterson made the MS-DOS API
similar to CP/M, an 8-bit operating system in widespread use at the time.
Secondly, Paterson focused on making MS-DOS fast and efficient, something
he achieved by writing it entirely in 8086 assembly language.

MS-DOS is survived by Windows 98, XP, Me, 2000, and CE, all of the same
home. MS-DOS was preceded in death by Windows 1.0, 3.0, 95, and Windows for
Pens.

In announcing MS-DOS's demise, Microsoft founder Bill Gates typed "exit" at
the MS-DOS command line during the launch of Windows XP. He stated, "It's
the end of the MS-DOS era," referring to the exorcism of 16-bit code from
the Windows code base. Gates was joined on stage by industry leaders such
as Gateway's Ted Wait, Dell's Michael Dell, Compaq's Michael Capellas, and
Intel's Craig Barrett, all of whom have made millions of dollars from the
late MS-DOS. TV personality Regis Philbin also appeared to pay his respects
(or, more precisely, to be paid for paying his respects), and rock singer
Sting led mourners in soulful renditions of "Ave Marie," "Take A Closer
Walk with Me," and "Here I Am Lord" at nearby Bryant Park.

In lieu of flowers, we respectfully request that you make contributions to
the charity of your choice.

However, officially, DOS is not dead.  If you read

 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycleconsumer.asp

carefully what you'll get out of it is that on December 31, 2001
(i.e., the upcoming New Year's eve), DOS, Win3.x, and Win95 all
enter the "Non-Supported phase".  This phase means (and I've
copied and pasted this from the web page):

 - Licenses may no longer be available to consumers.
 - Only online support information will be available.
 - Five years after general availability, Microsoft may terminate this
   phase after providing 12 months advanced notice.

So, starting in January Microsoft has to give 12 months notice before
DOS can officially be declared dead (same for Win3x and Win95).

I enjoyed Chris Blackmon's msg re death and dying, Microsoft
style. It was especially entertaining in light of IBM's website
for its DOS 2000 product wherein IBM acknowledges that DOS is
anything but dead - with an estimated worldwide user base in
excess of one hundred million. And growing.

Personally, I'll be quite happy when M$ officially releases its
obituary for DOS. The sooner they are out of any part of the OS
business the better. Also, heard this joke the other day:
Q: What if Bill Gates had a nickel for everytime Windows crashed
A: Oh, that's right, he does!

Help!!!!

I just got a 440mb Sandisk PCMCIA card from a vendor on Ebay.

200lx does not see a: drive.

copied acecard3.com to the c:\ drive

put  device=c:\acecard3 /spd as the last device in config.sys (after
spd.31.exe and tremm.exe)

200lx still does not see a: drive.

go to dos from c: type fdisk100

Get back "Fdisk is not needed for card in slot a:"

from C:\ type format a:

get back "Format not supported on A: drive"

Question: What am I doing wrong? Is the 440MB sandisk bad?

Any help appreciated

Joe

If you really typed /spd, you need to change it to /sdp.

Ian,

Yes it was /spd. Changed to /sdp

Thanks.

Now  Fdisk100 gives the same response, however,
from the C:\>format A: gives th following:
"Checking existing disk format.

Format another (Y/N)?"

Any other suggestions?

Hi all,

I just found a book for $2.50 on the shelf of our local goodwill shop
called, "Turbo Pascal Programming 101" and it has me intrigued.  It's a
book aimed at beginners, and it sounds like Turbo Pascal 7.0 for DOS is
an excellent programming language.  I think that I would enjoy learning
that language.  Can anyone tell me if it will run on my double speed
32meg HP200LX?  If so, are there any installation problems or tips that
I
should be aware of?

Also, does anyone know where I could find a copy of Turbo Pascal 7.0?

Cheers!

Joe,
I bought some 64Meg Sandisk CF cards off eBay a couple months ago that
caused the same problems and the same error messages.  I started checking
and I could read them (blank with no files though) on a Win98 laptop but
not
on my 200lx.  I easily fdisked & formatted them on the Win98 laptop but
they
still could not be read by the LX.  Stuck them in an Omnibook 425 (good ol'
DOS) and re-fdisked them and formatted them again and now no problems in
any
of the pc's.  I contacted the guy that sold them to me and asked what they
had been used in.  He wasn't sure but thought they had been memory cards in
either network switches (makes sense) or test equipment.  I am fairly sure
that some Cisco routers or switches were originally equipped with Sandisk
PCMCIA memory cards and I'd think that the partition for that use might not
be compatible with our LXs.
FWIW

OK folks, I have gotten a "new" 200LX from Thaddeus recently and have a very
minor puzzle about the display fonts.  First, I've never mucked with the
default fonts.  They have always been fine for me.  (Well, maybe they are
getting smaller this last year or two.)  Anyway, I would swear that the
font, while in DOS mode, on the one I just received is a tad smaller than
the one I've had for a while.
I played with the contrast to see if maybe that had effect on my perception
and it did not.  The one I have had is an SG449 and the newer is an SG736.
The older is a US market 1 Meg with doublespeed and 32 Meg upgrade.  The
newer is one of the Dutch Railway models with doublespeed and a memory
upgrade also.  I've read about and seen the screen variation that looks a
little "golder" but both of these are the same "color".  This is in no way a
problem!  I've just been looking at the screen of one 200LX or another for
over 7 years and this one just looks "different".  Was there some change in
production or is it just over 50 eyes?
Sorry I don't post any of those really interesting puzzles that seem to get
everyone working.  But my LX works fantastic for ME in a fairly original
setup.  Ok...., I do use Software Carousel to keep a game available in the
background.
Later, bob

DOS will never die.

never, never, never, never, never, never, never,
never, never, never, never, never, never, never,
never, never, never, never, never, never.

It was the only decent operating system Microsoft ever
wrote...precisely becuase they didn't write it.

20 years later and they *might* have made an operating
system that doesn't lock-up (namely XP).

But I doubt it.

Yeah, I had the same problem with some other cards as
well.  It turned out they were not ATA FLASH cards (or
at least I think that was the problem).

I have also heard discussed on this board that the
maximum card size supported is something like
200MB....I would stay around 128MB to be safe.

Turbo Pascal is a great system and PASCAL is a great
language...one of my all time favorites.

But I think you would be far better served by learning
'C' as it is more widely used, more help is available,
and it is more similar to other langiuages (C++, Java,
PHP to name a few).

I always loved PASCAL, but I consider moving to 'C'
was one of the smartest moves I ever made.

Just my 2 cents.

I don't know about the fonts, but I purchased one
recently that tasted a little strange.

But once I added a lite bernaise sauce, I really
couldn't tell the difference.

I hear you but the other day I pulled out my trusty IBM 701c just for some
nostalgic fun, loaded up desqview and lotus agenda and ms word 6.0 for dos
and started to see if I could still work seriously with it and hey presto
desqview hated lotus agenda, and clagged (screen through up noise) when I
switched to word 6.0.  It just reminded me of those days when programs
didn't work together very well and how dependent I am on task switching.

Can your see the 440Meg Sandisk card at all? Now you have the
acecard device line right there should be no need to fdisk it.
Just re-boot the palmtop and try chkdsk a: - the card will tell
you how big/how good it is. (Actually I wouldn't try to fdisk a
440MB card from the palmtop - I'd be worried it might bet
reformatted as a 20MB or something).

I would suggest simply deleting all partition information using a
laptop or desktop with fdisk and then use the totally blank CF in the
200LX. fdisk100 should then be able to create its FAT partition.

There are indeed differences.
AFAIK, the screens on the 100LXs and older 200LXs have a better
contrast than newer 200LXs,
Although I have a SG8... palmtop at home as a spare unit which has an
excellent screen.

The one I'm currently working on is a, SG4... unit with a screen out of
a SG5.. unit, if I recall correctly. And this one has a fairly good but
not excellent contrast.

If I run them manually, everything works well, even without rebooting.
It must have something to do with appointment book running in the
background or calling them.

oh - that would be a bad solution for me, because I have other inactive
SC work areas in the background which _actually_ should keep their data
over night.
Vurrently, in the test phase, I save everything of course, but once I
can be sure it works again without crash, I probably won't save
everything in the evening.

I see every morning where it has failed, because the machine is locked
up totally and the screen where it locked is still there.

It happens either during the plzip process or during execution of one
of the macros.
Never while another DOS program (PDB2ADR, VOLTCHK, DBCHECK...> is
active.

I have now removed all TSR which are not _very_ necessary, and now it
worked last night.
I will wait for the next nightly backup tp work and then re-add the
TSRs one by one and see when the problem appears again.

Is aonyone here using BATSET to change the charging time of the LX?
Can that program cause wuch problems?

I have done that as long as I used the appointment book on a daily
basis. Actuall, you don't have to run the macro _before_ midnight, if
you use Andreas' "greet.com" to change the time the daily greeting
appears.

But since I now use PIM/PE, I don't need the daily greeting anymore. I
simply let the batch file write the report into my current PIM file so
I see the results quickly :-)

Are you sure about using the built in fonts in your older
machines? Check your old autoexec.bat for anything that looks
like a font TSR. Most fonts, that were new written and compiled
for the HP are bigger than the original fonts. This is achieved
by using the 8x8, 10x11 and 16x12 pixel box more efficiently.

Once, your eyes get used to the new font, you forget over the
years, that this was not the original font. Only if you look at
another HP200LX, you feel a little uncomfortable and think,
something is different with this other HP. This happens to me
quite often and it is the time to remember, that I once wrote
and installed my own font.

Just a note - I purchased a SanDisk 440MB card awhile back, which I am

fdisk it at all - seems like it came from the factory already formatted?
Could that be?  Or has my memory failed me...

I would agree. Pascal was all the rage in Computer Science departments about
10 years ago, but it has faded away. Just had too many limitations. (I have
heard it refered to as a "B&D" -- as in Bondage and Discipline -- language
because of the restrictions it imposed on programmers.)

Turbo C 2.0 is also available for free download from Borland. Combined with
the PAL library of HPLX functions, it makes a very useful programming tool
for LX applications.

Have you tried Norton Antivirus for DOS?  The 200lx has an 80186
which will run 286 code that doesn't use protected mode.  I'd
say 95% or more of the 286 code I've tried ran ok.

try. .. just one question, using auto123 - how do i get an empty worksheet
in order to create a new file (without leaving Lotus)?

As far as I know, the SH888 only supports the IrDA protocol - both over
IR AND over cable.
So your only chance to use it with the LX is WWW/LX.

Please read my page
http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/mob_hplx

There you'll find lots of info about the phone.

Worksheet Erase Yes

This just erases the current in-memory worksheet, not the disk file
version.

In-Reply-To:  <cclxpop_20_000003AC.MSG>

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I have three questions/subjects:

1) What is the best card/phone combo to use on the LX
in terms of ease of install, battery life, etc.

2) I have used HV.exe, does anyone know how to make
the fonts bigger?

3) I would like to do offline reading with HV.exe, but
I don't use LXTCP stuff and get.exe seems to want to
use those.  Is there any easy way to download pages on
PC for easy viewing using HV.EXE or some other
program.  I just want to specify a page and depth and
load it web extracted data onto my CF card to read it
later.

Any help would be appreciated.

Yup, in the mail section(s) of POST.CFG replace your SMTP=...
line with SMTP=ISP and have a new İSMTP¨ section in POST.CFG
linking ISP section names in WWW.CFG with the smtp server for
that ISP:

İSMTP¨
paradise=smtp.paradise.net.nz
CIS=smtp.compuserve.com
ATTGLOBAL=smtp1.attglobal.net
ISP_Gprs=smtp.vodafone.net.nz
XTRA=smtp.xtra.co.nz

If you want you could use gmx.net as SMTP for some/all of the
ISPs, by having another section like this:

İmail.gmx.net¨
Login=99...
Pass=gg....
From=daniel.hertrich@gmx.net

I concur; I have an an SG5 and an SG7; the contrast on the earlier machine
is definitely better.  The background on SG5 has a slight "yellow" tinge to
it.

I finally got a CF-to-PCMCIA-adapter for my 95lx :-)
Now, can anybody tell me what sandisk CF-cards work with the 95 (I have a
8MB card labeled SDCFB) and where I can obtain the drivers?

TIA,
