Oftentimes, the program documentation will state the recommended amount
of memeory. In other cases, you just use trial and error to find out.

SImplest test would be to run an app under AppMgr with an explicit
memory size and pare the size down till the app chokes.

(i believe it is called EXAMINE) reports, among other things, memory

desqview should have no problems running, tho you will be limited to
about 450k (after dv loads) of active programs (dv will swap for you,
but i don't know if it will use emm200 or tremm as ram for more active
tasks).

don't bother with qemm.. that's only for 386+ machines.. qram would
run (it's part of the qemm package, but i don't remember offhand if
qemm will setup properly on <386) but that's for xms which the hp
doesn't have.

without qemm, dv will not be able to virtualize displays (trap direct
screen writes et al.) and some other functions will not be available.
if you're not familiar with desqview, that means you may find the text
of some background task bleeding into the foreground, it's a cosmetic
thing tho and has no effect on any of the tasks.

but dv _WILL_ run and _WILL_ multitask, i've had it setup before on
my 200lx.. tho for my uses, task-switching with sysmgr and one dos
session is more practical.

hrmm.. i wonder if desqview/X had cga drivers?? i don't remember much
about this beast having never found a place that carried it, but it
would be nifty to run on the hplx regardless of how limited it might
be :¨

I have been trying out an old 95LX program called Notepad.  It's a
free-form database program/notetaker.  While it's pretty nice, it is
limited to a 40-column screen, among other things.  I contacted the
author, and he said that he no longer uses an HP, so no further updates.
Is there anyone who would be interested in optimizing this program for the
100/200LX?  It's an .EXM program, so you would have to be familiar with
that format.  If there are any takers, I'll write back to the guy and see
if he'd be willing to release the source code.

The program is shareware, and I don't know how that part will be handled.
Any suggestions?

If you're interested in giving the program a try, it's on SUPER.

Cheers.

I was just visiting my friend Craig's Memoware page at:

and noticed that the Psion, TI Avigo and WinCE platoforms all have DOC readers.
It seems a shame that we don't have a 200LX-specific reader available. It
would, of course, be the most cool to have an EXM, but even a nice PAL program
would do it.

Anyone feeling clever? I don't know where the DOC format specs are, but here's

What is this game about?

Judging by the title alone, I would guess it is a more politically correct
version of the classic Castle Wolfenstein (and the sequel Beyond Castle
Wolfenstein)...

This game was out for the Macintosh long before Wolfenstein was.  I think
it's been out since ... 1985 or 1986.  Essentially, you are a little
figure who runs around throwing rocks and trying to get to the end of a
castle, where you battle the Black Knight.  The sequel, Beyond Dark
Castle, was much better, with fun things like helicopter backpacks and the
like.

I'm talking about the original Wolfenstein, not the more famous
Wolfenstein 3D from Id software. The original Wolfenstein was also from
around 1984-85...

I haven't played Wolfenstein for _very_ along time, but if memory serves
it was somewhat Rogue like, and you had to escape from a castle (no
surprise there!), killing or avoiding guards, picking up food, etc.

Dark Castle is more arcade-like than Rogue, but it's vaguely similar.  The
goal in Dark Castle is to get INTO the castle though, and kill the Black
Knight.  But it does involve killing or avoiding guards, picking up
potions and rocks, etc.

To anybody running it on the palmtop: it works best if you invert the
screen and then do an ON-* key combination to switch dithering methods.

Does anyone know of a store that still carries the 200LX in the Bay Area
(around Sunnyvale)? The big guys such as Fry's don't sell it anymore, and I
am in an emergency to replace my 4 years old unit (screen problem).

Thanks for replying directly to me (f.ennesser@computer.org).

All,

Im trying to setup my old HP95 512k (now i have a 100lx) for use by a
relative and have hit a wall when it comes to connecting to a Win95 pc for
transfering files back and forth. Ive tried TRANFILE 200 but it fails to
recognize the HP95lx.  Is there any Win95 connection software which works
with the 95lx that I can download from the web? or am i out of luck on this
one?

Thanks In Advance,

Sometimes by trial and error - reduce the size of the DOS box it is
running in until it stops working and then use the smallest size that
worked.  Sometimes the documentation will tell.  Sometimes, the
program will have a feature to indicate the amount of free RAM while
it is running.

Another comment, name all your files as:

That way your bmp and other files will
be more organized and together.  I have

Mitch and all,

I agree wholeheartedly, I use doc and QED on my PalmPilot to read .doc
files.
I have several books downloaded from McDuff and Memoware. QED allows a
person
to edit the .doc files while DOC just allows you to read only.

The DOC author, Rick Brahm now works for Aportis which sells the
software as
AportisDoc. You might contact Rick to see how easy it would be to port
DOC to
the LX series.

Just my 2 cents worth....

I just picked up an 8mb SimpleTech Flash Card (STI-ATAFL/8) and it worked
great on my 200lx - popped it in and no worries Wrote a few files, deleted
a few files no problem. Then I tried to use it on my ThinkPad 600 (using
CardWorks CardWizard) - detected it, but I had to pop the card out and pop
it back in to have Windows see it as a drive. When I try to delete files
from the card *BOOM* - blue screen of death telling me there is a write
error. So I shut down and pop the card back into the Palmtop. Am able to
delete files from Filer, but when I go to DOS or restart, the files are
still there. Tried running chkdsk, gives an error reporting that the
Recycled folder is corrupt. I think *DOH* - forgot to set the drive as
removable and Winblows tried to move the deleted file to recycle bin on the
flash card and screws it up (at least that's what I am guessing). Anyway,
chkdsk wont fix it, fdisk100 and format complete without errors, but the
files are still there. I also tried the 1k cluster formatter from SUPER and
still no dice.

Is there a way to just wipe the card and start from scratch, or am I
screwed and have to get a replacement?

I believe the DOS version of Acrobat will only run on a ... 386+?  Or
maybe it was 286.  But it won't run on the LX.  Additionally, since I have
problems sometimes opening newer 3.x PDF files in 2.x for Windows, I would
imagine that 1.x for DOS would have even more trouble.

Sounds like there's a good market for an EXM version of Acrobat.  <g>

I've tried it on both drives (A and C) and both work fine.

Try closing all your apps and rebooting. Sometimes memory problems cause
some of my icons to fail until I reboot (this happens the most with
Jorgen's HP Alarm)...and I haven't isolated the specific cause yet, but
rebooting usually clears the immediate problem.

Someone has already mirrored the site (but I forgot who, sorry!)

Also, a lot (but not all) of the 95LX programs from Eddie have already
been added to the 95LX section of SUPER, at:
http://www.palmtop.net/super95.html

More will hopefully be added around Christmas, when I have more time (or
sooner if someone sends some suggestions! :-)

As the files are stored on Mitch's server, they won't disappear with the
Eddie archive.

site ?  Then you would have everything available at one site.......one stop
shopping  :-).

I don't think this a good idea. The Eddie archive is great, but also very
messy. Some of the older programs (95LX mostly) are in .zoo or .arc
format, while others are simply not working (CRC errors in the archives).
Some are even uuencoded!

Also, the index file is woefully out of date. Most of the 100/200LX stuff
resides in the NEW directory and never got further...

And now that Bill Childers (thanks for reminding me Dave! :-) already
mirrors the Eddie archive, there really isn't much point.

I'm sad to see it go, though. I've spend many hours going through the
files looking for hidden treasure (ie excellent apps). Found quite a few
too...


Cheers,

Laust

That's up to Mitch.  <g>

Of course, it'd be easier to make a link to my LXArchive off of SUPER.
You'd still have one-stop-shopping, and it'd ease the bandwidth use and
disk space on palmtop.net.

I did send a message to root@eddie.mit.edu and asked him if I could host
the site... I don't know how far out of date my stuff is, but we'll see
what his answer is.

Hi *!

I'm afraid I have to ask this, although I'm new to this list and don't
know if this has been discussed already:

I bought two used Atmel 4meg 5V Flash Cards (P/N is AT5FC004-20) because
they are PCMCIA and I thought they would run on my HPLX - they don't!

Manufactor name and P/N lead to the assumption that the card only
contains a flash IC without any controller. How can I then address the
card?

The Config says that the Card battery (I don't think there is one...) is
OK, but accessing a: fails.

Hello.
Is there a way to simulate pressing the keys of a numeric keypad?  The
number and +/- keys on the 200LX actually correspond to the top-row number
keys of a full keyboard.  I am trying to use a program which requires the
+ key on the numeric keypad.  I have tried using KEY200, but I don't know
how to specify the + key.

Thanks for any help.

I believe holding down ÝMENU¨ plus the numeric keypad keys will simulate
an actual numpad keypress.

How about Stefan Peichl's "Numlock"?  It's a small TSR that remaps the
numeric keys (including +,-,*).  It's enabled or disabled with a
keypress.

Check on SUPER.

Exactly, on page 25-15 of the users manual there is a table of IBM
numeric keypad key equivalents. I could scan it and send a pcx file if
you don't have a manual.

Using Framework (an old integrated package) requires using the grey numeric
+ and - keys (on a desktop PC) for navigation.

When I run FW on the LX, I use Fn-1 for "-" and Fn-2 for "+". I believe
this was a topic covered in the Palmtop Papers long ago.

I'm looking at getting another printer and I recall someone saying they

So if anyone is doing so, please tell me what printer you are using.
I don't really need to do this but as long as I'm looking at printers

The Citizen PN60i is a really tiny color-capable printer that prints on
plain paper and can be printed to (from the palmtop) via serial cable or
infrared.  To do infrared printing, you need to load the IrDA drivers off
of SUPER.

All we need now are IrDA drivers for the palmtop that work in Windows
3.0... then we can do portable desktop publishing.  <g>

Patrick -

Laserjet 5 will do it. Look for any printer with a little black square
lens on its front panel.

That would be cool...  But we can already do "palmtop publishing".
I've been using Envision Publisher for over a year now, and it works
very nicely on an 8MB 2x 200LX.  It's always a hoot when somebody asks
what software package and system I used, and I whip out the palmtop...

And there's always TeX - PTP has an article in the current issue -
(right before your dictionary article, David  8-)  ).

Good point.  I've been brainwashed to believing that you can only do
WYSIWYG printing from Windows. <g>

Is Envision Publisher a commercial package?  Or free/shareware?  Where can
it be found, if anywhere?

Yes, I read that.  I have to admit I'm not entirely clear on how TeX
works, and how difficult it would be to learn... but I certainly want to
try that LXTeX program.

I have been experimenting with the "Direct Connection" option in

I have installed NAT32 on my Internet connected PC with win95.

And the latest DUN from www.microsoft.com

And the Generic NULL modem driver from www.vtedu:10021/K/kewells/net

Now its all up and running, but I can not get WWW/LX to connect.
What should the Direct scrip look like?

Any ideas?

Expensive shareware.  The trial version is (or was) available on SimTel
sites.  You get four scaleable fonts to play around with with the
downloadable version.  Depending on which version you pay for, you get
either 20 or 35 fonts.  Each one can be used as normal, italic, bold, or
bold-italic - but some won't look right in italic or bold.  The better
version also includes a font convertor to change TTF fonts to FastFont
that EVP uses, and some clip-art, layout templates, spell checker, and
filters to import a selection of word-processor formats.

Why not design one yourself, you have an icon editor built into your
palmtop (D:\bin\icn200lx.exe) and with a little effort I am sure you could
create something you are happy with.

According to Liam M. Early:

This tool can only be one part of the game, apparently it's not
sufficient to glue adbio.exe and field98.exe together, otherwise this
thread would not exist ;)

Personally, I don't care much about synchronization with Outlook
because I'm not using Windows.  On the other hand, having a viable
synchronization tool for other calendar and scheduling applications is
a goal for me too.

The current interim package of the Perl module HP200LX::DB
contains this sample script:

| catadb.pl is a perl script to export HP 200LX appointment books into
| vCalendar format which might be importable to Outlook or similar
| personal information managers (PIMs).
| ...
| The script can later be used by calling something like
|   scripts/catadb.pl -o output.vcs -folding simple appt.adb

As I said, I don't know if Outlook can make any sense of this but you
might want to give it a try.

Version 5 of the perl package can be found on my web server
  http://falbala.wu-wien.ac.at:8684/pub/english.cgi/0/41420
or if you prefer FTP
  ftp://ftp.wu-wien.ac.at/pub/usr/edvz/gonter/hp200lx/

Future work:  There clearly remains a lot of work to do but I have the
feeling that this can be solved.  The perl module can already be used
to import and export data to GDB, PDB, and NDB files.  It can export
from ADB and WDB files but not yet import into these two formats.

Furthermore, import and export are not really what I would call
true synchronizatin, but you need to start at begin ;)

Sounds like a linear flash. There is a driver. Someone else just posted
here about his IBM Flash, which I think is also linear, the solution was
posted within a day but I forget what the solution was. Check the
archives and you should find it in Decembers stuff.

I tried using a version of instemm.exe from a previous 8Meg machine I

I bet that the assembled sages on this list have a huge and varied
collection of useful NoteTaker entries. How about sharing them? This sort
of info is very popular among the Psion and Palm Pilot crowds.

The SUPER collection already has a collection of databases for palmtops at
http://www.palmtop.net/hp_db.html ...so why not a NoteTaker collection?

Opinions?

A COLOR PALMTOP NO LESS! - DEC 3

Hewlett Packard have announced the Jornada 428 Palm-Size PC

The 428 will ship in China come January 99 and yes the LCD screen is color.

Shipping with the CE 2.11 (Chinese ) ROM, the 428 supports the Chinese
GB2312-80 character set with the option of either Pinyin, alphanumeric or
symbol data entry.

Shipping with Chinese Desktop Services 2.2, the Jornada 428 allows for
quick and easy synchronization with the Chinese language versions of
Windows 95/98.

With a CF slot, IrDA port, headphone socket as well as character
recognition ( a first for an HP product) the 428 will be THE palmtop to own
in China come January.  Dates for a color US version haven't yet been
announced.
---(cut here)---

The accompanying photo shows a unit marked "HP" and "Jornada" with a Palm
Pilot form factor, complete with sync cradle.

I guess this shows where HP sees the future of palmtops (sigh!)

If you meant the M-Sys driver, I tried it and it didn't work for me...

If there is any other driver, I'D be really grateful if someone told me.

Why do you need a quick reference? surely there is not more than you can
remember by heart? ;-)
(not in the standard RegExp set anyway; if you want the Perl extensions
too it becomes more tricky)

The version of SED I use has a good manual, which could be turned in to a
NoteTaker file with a little work. I think it is the same version of SED
as the one on SUPER.

If you're not in a big rush, I don't mind trying to prepare such a note
taker file.  I'm an intermediate user of regexps, and also have a nice
book on the subject.  Perhaps I can work on it a bit over the weekend.

I wrote it, and now rarely haul my laptop on trips.  With a Simple Tech
33.6 modem and Times2Tech batteries it's a great little platform.  Staying
away from TELNET frees up the phone quickly, saves batteries, and it's
alot more comfortable reading/replying from the couch than hunched over
a desk with a wire or two attached.  It handles alot of things a traveller
will need (easy selection of dialup, toggle area code/outside line,
calling card support which can also toggle with prefix, leave on server,
"only new", "headers only", etc..)

My entire computer setup for trips (with landline/cellular email and
Ethernet packet sniffer) fits in a 35mm camera case, less phone itself)
That's LX, modem, ethernet, power supply, flashcard, rollup phone cable,
ethernet cable, cellular cable, spare emergency lithium batteries,
Earthlink phone # sheet, and GP manual...

I can verify that... Steve stopped by our apartment (we have a house now,
so next time he won't have to stand in the living room the whole time <g>)
and I was amazed at how much stuff he was able to pack into that 35mm

Glad to hear it's all working, but whereis.exm doesn't have to be in a
directory specified by PATH..it just has to have the full pathname defined
in the AppMgr setup. I just tested it after moving the exm into and out of
the PATH and it works both ways.

Haven't a clue tho as to why it didn't work for you, tho the important
thing is that it works now.

Subject:      Hinge Crack (again!)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

Yes, the list's favourite subject is back...

For a long time my LX had a thin white line, but suddenly yesterday I
noticed that it has developed into a crack, and quite near the edge too.
It has not broken yet, but I'm afraid this will happen soon.

With this in mind I browsed the HPLX-L archives and found suggestions
ranging from glueing small pieces of metal (or plasic) to the LX surface
as well as fusing/mending the crack (by dissolving small parts of the
plastic). The latter would leave the least amount of "battle scars", and
so would be preferable, but I was wondering if the mended/fused crack will
last or if it will break again after a short period of time?

Putting aesthical considerations aside, if I have to glue some
plastic/metal onto the palmtop, where should I do it? On the side (onto
the hinge cap) would probably have the best effect (and strengthen the LX
the most), but it would also mean that the cap couldn't be taken off
anymore. Would this hinder opening the LX and upgrading the crystal or
memory?


To better describe what I'm blabbering about, here it is in (very)
primitive ASCII:

 __________________________
/           ===========|== \ <- hinge!
|----------------------\___|
\_______________Ý::::¨__O__/

(the line of equal signs is supposed to be my glued on piece of metal)


Oh, and I don't supposed anyone has put together a Hinge Crack FAQ?

Laust - you come well prepared, even with your own diagram.

When I saw signs of a crack developing, I did not wait for it to
develop into a major problem. I took the following steps.

1. Immediately bought another HP200lx for backup purposes, and set it
up with the same autoexec.bat & config.sys, and the same directory
structure. And started doing regular backups.

2. I quickly gave up on the idea of preserving my LX's virgin beauty.
Since it is very difficult (for me, at least) to make the repair site
unnoticeable, I decided to make it a feature.

3. I lightly sanded the areas to be affected, so they would have a
rough surface to better bond. I cut two small pieces of thin bright red
plastic (out of a plastic page that serves as a divider in multitopic
binder), and crazy glued them to serve as bridges over the crack.

4. The pressure from closing LX's lid now is spread over a wide area and
is transmitted through two strong plastic parts.

The repair was done sometime in February 1998. The glue cost about
$2.00, and there is enough left to repair a whole army of palmtops.

5. 5 months later I dropped the computer and the case popped open in a
way that I could not click it in together. I was afraid to apply
excessive pressure. So I sent it to One Stop Palmtop Shop and, while
they repaired the case, my LX was upgraded to 32 meg & doublespeed. No
problem. And I got to use my backup palmtop for a couple of weeks.

6. I marked my areas of repair, assuming that the screen is on the
right side of your picture.

Dan, I highly recommend WWW/LX Plus for the 200LX Emailing that you
want to do.  It also includes a web browser and newsgroup reader, but
you don't have to use those.  Check out D&A Software's web site at

There is another News/LX user having trouble with newsgroup server

What you show in your diagram wouldn't hinder opening the palmtop for
speed and memory upgrades, but it could be a problem if your screen had to
be replaced, or for a backlight upgrade...

I've been wondering if perhaps a small lever could be added to the right
hinge cap and THAT used to open the 200LX.  That would eliminate the force
on the upper part of the screen half of the case... but perhaps that
wouldn't help the hinge crack problem.

I have a page on it at my "Hardware Hacking" page

Hi group-

The current issue of PTP has articles by Dr. Larry Garwood & Ed Keefe
about lots of very interesting software.  (Most of it from Japan).
There's a lot definitely cool stuff there...  Has anyone located the
copies of the programs with Dr. Garwood's English instructions & .CFG
or .ENV files?  I've grabbed the most interesting (at least to me)
files from the Japanese sites, but of course the docs are in
Japanese...

What I would especially like to find are instructions for configuring
LXF107 (LX Filer) - an improved FILER with a lot of the functions of
StereoShell, but an EXM.  Works nicely with LFTREE (displays a
directory tree). I did manage to figure out part of the .CFG file to
change the sort order and set it for split screen with C on the left,
A on the right, but there are a lot of other options (with long
Japanese comments), that are probably needed to get full use of the
prog.

X-Finder is supposed to be an EXM version of WinDoze Explorer.  This
one I haven't managed to set up at all yet.  The articles rate this one
as the best program of the bunch, so it should be fun to try out...

Some of the others are already on SUPER with English docs, and others
are pretty intuitive.  Look like great toys  8-)

Dr. Garwood deserves a lot of credit for finding these, and for
figuring out how to make it work...

I've heard different stories. Personally, mine broke about 6 months after
I bought it (new) and I used the fusion method. There's probably no
escaping the presence of a fix no matter how careful you are (unless you
do these repairs for a living). Mine has held for over a year since the
patch using a kind of instant glue (cyanoacrylate)...but then I don't
think I've dropped it since then. I have heard of others whose fix didn't
hold, but I forget how long and the exact method used.

It's not too noticeable either...I tested the glue on a small part of the
crack and manipulated the excess using a straight pin.

Maybe we should have an LX hinge crack beauty contest to see who's repair
looks best <g>.... sorry about that, Laust. But Mikhail's suggestion was
also good (for those who can afford it), which was to buy a 2nd LX so you
can take your time on repairs (by yourself or if you send it out). Good
luck.. BTW, that was a nice diagram.

Hi Longden, actually affordability was not even a consideration in this
particular case. What can you do when you're a consultant, and all
your data and report writer are on the palmtop? Walk around with a
clipboard? The choices for me were: get another computer or take a
vacation until the primary one comes back. (The latter one would not
have been too bad, had it been planned in advance...)

I'm thinking of getting a third one, just in case. Now, THAT may be
excessive.

I read you both. We've all been on the list long enough to know we
encompass a range of needs and resources. There are no shortage of
starving students nor professionals with greater financial means (tho
sometimes the LX is their administrative lynch pin).

Buying a 2nd LX is something like buying auto insurance here in
California, and that can be excruciating when you're supporting
5 drivers <g> (like paying for 10 LX's per year without getting
any practical benefit except peace of mind until an accident happens).

I wonder if Thaddeus would consider some form of HP's Express Exchange
program whereby they would send you a backup LX before you sent them
yours, and you'd return theirs when your fixed one is done.

Sounds like an expensive arrangement..but it was wonderful when I had
my first LX and the screen went bad..but back then, Express Exchange
was courtesy of my 1st year warranty.

I just wanted to comment on how easy and useful I found the "Secure
Device" program. I have create a secure volume on my PCMCIA card and use
the password protect feature to protect the C: drive. I think (perhaps
mistakenly) that this is a pretty secure environment - someone cna rip
off my HP, but my data should be pretty safe. A short .BAT file allows me
to copy the secure volume to my laptop hard disk for backup - all in all,
I am pretty happy with the setup. I only keep the data files on there, so
it doesn't have a big effect on drive speed.

Hey everybody -

I tried, but I am afraid I still can't get the Outlook Synchronization to
work. THe process I was trying to make work was cumbersome anyhow:

1. Export from the calendar and task lists into two comma delimited
files.
2. Use my converter to make an ADB file. It looked at the current adb
file as well to eliminated duplicate records.
3. Use Garlic to clean up my adb file.
4. Merge with current HPLX file.

The problem is still that the HP 200 will not accept the file. Of
interest, ADBLOAD will also not generate a file that the 200 will
recognize - I get the same record not found error. I am copying every
record from a blank adb file and trying to replicate it, but I am not
metting some requirement in the 200 appointment manager, so I think its
back on the shelf for a while. Sorry!

Brian

I just did a hinge crack patch on my LX Friday night. I went to the
hardware store and bought a package of those decorative brass
corners and some JBWeld epoxy. I trimmed up the brass corners
so they would fit nicely on the back two corners of my LX (and wrap
over the sides), and then epoxyed them in place. It is admittedly
a tad garish, but overall I am pleased with the result.

Steven Segal movie 'Under Seige' was filmed aboard the U.S.S. Alabama. I was
also amazed at all the old computer equipment aboard the WWII ship, which
handled fire control and navigation. I wonder how many tons of this computer
equipment could have been replaced with a handful of 64MB, doublespeed

> What is an EXM program? (Please elaborate)

EXM programs are special programs designed to run within the
environment of the System Manager task switcher shell of the 100/200LX
palmtops.  When a program is written to be an EXM, it fits seemlessly
into SysMgr and can be assigned it's, own hot key and be run and
switched just like the built in applications.

There are lots of limits to what the EXM program be do, such as a 64K
code size limit and 64K data segment size limit, etc.  There is a
template on how to construct an EXM program and utilize the SysMgr
resources.  This is all documented in the developers guide from HP.
There are also some sample programs around with nice docs about how
the author made the EXM program.

There is a limit to the number of EXM programs you have add to SysMgr.
 I don't know the number off hand, but it includes all of the built in
programs also.  The info for an EXM program is stored in the
APNAME.LST file on the drive where the program lives.  So, there is an
a:\appname.lst file and a c:\_dat\apname.lst file.  I forget which of
these files is loaded first - it might be the one on A.  So, if this
new EXM you are trying to load is the last entry in the
c:\_dat\apname.lst and this one it over the limit, then SysMgr will
not see it.

First of all, check the apname.lst files to be sure the right stuff is
in there.  And then temporarily delete one of the other EXM specs from
either apname.lst file and see if the new EXM is now seen.

I don't know what those utility programs you mentioned do, but I would
figure that the WWW.EXE program is expecting to see on that direct
connect cable a PPP connection just as it would look from a dial up
line after the script started a PPP connection.

That is, I doubt that there is anything fancy about the direct
connection, it is just a PPP connection that does not need a dialing
of the phone beforehand.

So, the script should include whatever commands need to be sent to
your PC to make a PPP connection happen.  I have no clue what that
would be in your situation.

Greetings All:

     After reading the latest Palmtop Paper, I got really excited about
the software discoveries of Larry Garwood. While many are available on
SUPER & VECTOR, I obtained a copy of the X-Finder archive from Dr.
Garwood. It is available temporarily(until the SUPER/Thaddeus site is
updated) on the HPLX Command Center. (see link in bottom banner)

I apologize to everyone about the lateness of getting all the sw from
the most recent PTP onto SUPER.  There is a problem about storage space
that I thought was solved (I have been on the road).  I believe we will
be hosting some of SUPER but I am not sure of details -- hopefully it
will be worked out this week.

For those who aren't subscribing to PTP (shame on you<g>) Larry Garwood
and Ed Keefe uncovered a ton of useful sw for the palmtop.  It will all
be on the 1999 CD Infobase (3-4 weeks away from shipping) and should be
up on SUPER.

Also, we ran out of dictionary/thesaurus (David S.'s article).  We are
negotiating with Collins to be able to print more.  Legalisms due to
their royalty arrangements has slowed things down. We hope to have a
restock by the end of the year.

Months ago, years?... I don't know, anyway, I posted the concept of
using a Gameboy camera to create icons for an HP200LX.  Well I found the
way.  A program (for DOS, which did not work on my palmtop, but works on
my desktop) exists to emulate the GB printer.  After building the cable,
instructions included in .zip file, I was able to download and process
the pictures collected with the Gameboy camera.  If there's more than
passing interest on the part of anyone on the list, I will go and
re-find the URL to the site hosting the program and cable information.
I was not able to get reliable operation under Win95, but in DOS mode,
the program works fine.  The parts including a new cable for the GB,
were less than $15US.  Camera was about $50.  Gameboys are also about
$50.

By far the simplest solution I have found to getting e-mail in the field is
to get the right ISP.

Certain ISPs allow access to a UNIX shell account (well, not really "shell
access" -- you are constrained by menus). Ask your current ISP if they
provide this type of access. Mine does, and I use it almost as much with my
palmtop as I use the regular SLIP/PPP access with my desktop. I also have
menued shell access through my local FreeNet provider.

With an account like this, all you need is your built-in DataComm program!
All the tools for your e-mail, news, (text) web browsing, ftp, telnet etc.
are on the server. Usually these tools include Pine for e-mail, Tin for
news, Lynx for browsing and others.

It ain't slick, but it's fast, free and does everything you're asking for
(and more).

hi,
I understand you need to have a GB to connect the cammera to you desktop,
why not using a cheap camera like a DC20 or a QV10a?
I have payed AU$ 150 (US$80) for a second hand qv10 with cable and

And there are 2 softs design for the LX

Hello all,

Well, my first post to the list is an exclamation/cry for help...

My HP will not power up.  It is an intermittent kind of fault.  It
boots partway, then freezes.  I have tried all possible combinations
of main batteries, backup battery, and AC adapter.  It *seems* like
I might have a broken trace or wire, and that the machine only gets
power when flexed in a certain way.  It's very irritating :-)

Before I vivisect...er, rip into...um, open up my machine in an
attempt to trace the fault:  has anyone else on the list seen this
behavior before, and traced it to a discernable fault condition?

Thanks,
Todd

P.S. - Could also be the on/off key.  Has anyone ever seen that
fail?  Dang, it could be a lot of things :-)

Subject:      Ericsson Interface Problem (DC12)
Content-Type: text

I just recently got equipped for wireless e-mail/internet connection
with my Ericsson CF-388 phone.  I have the DC-12 "modem" PCMCIA card,
and of course my trusty HP200LX.

I did some simple tests, using Datacomm, and my shell account.  As long
as I limit myself to hand typing speeds, everything seems to be okay.
But as soon as I try to send a burst of data, it locked up.  I was
sending a small text file, approx 1500 bytes at the time.

I also tried using WWW/LX.  It negotiated correctly, and established
a connection.  It reported that I had 5 messages, proceeded to download
one of them.  Then it locked up after the first one downloaded.  I
tried this twice, once it reported Modem Error, and the second time
it just plain locked up.

I have contacted my GSM phone company, and they don't know immediately
of any network-wide reason that I should be having problems.  They
admit to being novices at this - I am the first customer in my area
(about 1/2 of a state) to use this data capability.  The fellow I
deal with has a small laptop in the store that he just setup with
this same capability, and offered to let me try the same test on his
unit tomorrow - which I'll do.

Has anyone experienced any similar problems with the Ericsson?
The whole idea if wireless connectivity is pretty lame if I'm limited
to 9600 baud characters typed at 10 WPM!

Dear Fellow HP-LX users,

I have been using the HP 200LX happily for the past 4 years till I dropped it
(on a hard floor, too) last week.

Surprisingly, the machine continued to work except for a few keys on the
bottom
left corner. I took it to the HP service centre in Hong Kong and they have
given an estimate of --------  US$260 ----------  for parts and labour. They
say the main logic board is corroded and needs replacement. Obviously this so
called corrosion has nothing to do with the rapid downward journey to the hard
floor but HP insists that this repair is required.

I am wondering whether this will be $260 well spent or whether I have other
options. Anyone else faced this corrosion issue?

Also, I read a lot about the broken hinge episodes. Is it possible that I may
have compromised my hinge Ýso to speak :) ¨ ? And will I be better off getting
the palmtop back from HP as is and using it till it goes (hopefully they would
have fixed the keys ) and spend the $260 on a new HP 200?

Your considered advice is welcome.

kind regards

Anand Rao.

I have shell accounts with three different ISP's.  One of them
offers 800 number dialup.  In fact, you can get a telnet account
with them for $5/month and use the 800 number when traveling for
direct dialup at 15 cents/minute.  Look at http:\\www.netins.net

Off-topic, sorry:

hi,
I understand you need to have a GB to connect the cammera to you desktop,
why not using a cheap camera like a DC20 or a QV10a?
I have payed AU$ 150 (US$80) for a second hand qv10 with cable and

And there are 2 softs design for the LX

Hi everybody

First of all, thanks for all your tips in making the HP200LX something =
nice to keep. I have the HP200LX for 2 years already and I just joined =
this group last week.

The good news is that I have managed to keep my MS Outlook and HP200LX =
in synch!!! I've been struggling with it for one week and it finally =
worked this week-end.

Basically, I have done the following:

1. Export MS Outlook details to an excel file
2. Run a small macro in VBA (which I've written) in Excel which export =
the information in a specific layout into a text file - I've been =
struggling with the 'time' format particularly, not knowing that this =
was the cause of the problem
3. Export the text file to my HP200LX by using the software: IntelliSync =
for the HP200LX Palmtop PC

It works just FINE!!! I'm using it on a daily basis to keep my HP200LX =
updated.

I can also import info from my HP200LX to MS Outlook, but I prefer not =
to do it since the record is much richer in Outlook (i.e. the number of =
fields)

If anyone is interested in the solution, just let me know if I can be of =
any help.

Regards
Ehsan

I'm new to this list, so bear with me if I'm asking a question that's already been asked...

Can anyone recommend a good dos based PIM (PDM) program that would allow me to
use the same data file on the desktop as the LX? I keep the datafile on a
SunDisk Flashcard, which plugs right into my desktop. It would be nice to edit
the data from either PC, and/or print from the desktop.

(I don't use Intellesync, though I bought it, because I don't have an available
com port)

Thanks,

Mike...

Mike:

Why don't you use the Connectivity Pack sold by HP?  It would work for
you, I believe.  Feel free to reply offlist if you have any questions
or need help.

I've used both Outlook and Ecco, but I'd say that the Appointment
and phone PIMs in the 200Lx are about as good as they get (and
far better than most). You can get the 200 connectivity pack that
has PC versions of the 200Lx PIMs, and then your Flashcard will
work happily both places.

This is, perhaps, too simple, as it *doesn't* involve converting
anything any direction.

ÝAs an aside, it would be helpful if you gave your messages a `Subject'

Being the consummate gadget freak, I bought one of those new Diamond Rio

them to ship me yet another compact flash, but I was wrong. What I
got was a 3.3V SmartMedia card. I had not seen one these things and
am really amazed by it. It is about a mil thinner than a credit card
and measures 1.44 W x 1.75 L. All the contact points are on a postage
stamp sized gold patch on the back. I'm starting to feel old when I say,
"What will they think of next?" :)

Are you sure the LX is still set to rechargeables? (Setup/F9).

On some occasions, I've had the setting flipped to "alkaline" by mysterious
forces (usually when something locks the LX).

Otherwise, I've frequently "pulled the plug" on the LX during charging
without any ill effects. Should be no more catastrophic than if a power
failure happens during charging...and I'd like to think that the designers
considered that.

If the Setup is correct, try charging without the DOS add-on charging
programs to see if there's a difference.

In my latest NewScientist Magazine, there is an article claiming that
more then 3 million cars in the UK are susceptible to breakins by
palmtop computers. This is a result of IR programming/copying and is
mostly attribued to Pilots, although I'm sure the 200 LX could do just
as good a job. Has anyone tried this out legitimately ?

See http://www.newscientist.com/cgi-bin/pageserver.cgi?/ns/981205/newsstory6.html

They also mention an IR amplifier for the Palm Pilot about to go on the
market. Anyone know about this either ?

Interesting article but I never saw a car that used IR for its
remote, all the ones I have seen use RF which is not available to the
palmtop.

The IR amplifier is probably a sending amplifier, similar devices
have been around for remote controls for some time. This would not
help a theif get a copy of your IR signal, it would only allow the
thief to send it to the car from farther away. Also, as far as a
thief capturing the signal from your car IR when you opne a door, I
would think that they would have to be just about on top of you to
get a clear signal. Think about how you program a palm from a remote,
you carefully line up the two and press buttons, you don't do it from
across the room while crouching down behind the sofa.

Hello.
If you are in the U. S. and have an "Only Deals" store near you, go check
it out!  They are selling various ancient and not-quite-as-ancient
software for a whopping $2 each, at least in the two stores near me
(Rochester, MN).  There were a number of CGA games from Accolade (4th and
Inches, Mean 18, Apollo 18, TKO, etc.) and others, a couple file
manager-type programs, maybe some more stuff.  Unfortunately, I didn't
see any real application software (for those of you looking for sealed
copies of Word for DOS, WP, Quattro Pro, etc.).  I have no idea how
much of it runs on the LX, but for only $2, it's kinda fun to try it out,
especially since you can always run the programs on your desktop (although
CGA graphics on a real monitor are pretty scary).  The selection of really
old stuff is variable, so check out multiple stores if you have them.
Have fun.

Cheers.

The problem is "stretching" of the plastic at the rear right edge of the =
100/200 LX.  After many repetitions, the stress of the friction hinge =
overcomes the plastic and le voila - the cracked hinge!

After reading the directions posted earlier, I bought some thin (0.06 =
inch) strips of brass about 0.5 inches wide and a couple of inches long. =
 I cut  a pair of strips long enough to extend from the series of =
horizontal grooves in the top of the LX (for esthetics) to just over the =
45 degree bevel at the hinge edge (about 1 inch long).  After roughening =
the surface of the LX and the brass strip, I bent a narrow edge on the =
brass strip to correspond to the 45 degree bevel.  Several attempts =
later, I managed to get the angle reasonably close so that a dry fit =
didn't show any big gaps between the brass and the top of the LX.  For =
esthetics, I made another strip for the left side - just for visual =
balance <grin>.

I prepared some "fast" epoxy (claimed to be 4 minute drying time), =
smeared it on the brass, and then placed the two strips on the top of =
the LX.  About 20 minutes later, I felt reasonably sure that the epoxy =
had hardened to the point where I could remove the pressure (my fingers) =
from the brass strips.  I left the project over night, and then the =
following day sanded the rough brass edges with some 400 grit sandpaper.

IT WORKS !!!!!

The brass doesn't stretch, and the glued surface spreads the stress over =
a large area, so I don't think I'll see more cracking.  You can position =
the brass strips so that  they don't interfere with the end caps on the =
hinge, so that you can apply SMALL amounts of lubricating fluid to the =
end of the steel pin under the right end cap.  This reduces the friction =
so that it even less likely that stress will cause cracks.

Disclaimer - while this was not a difficult project, I'm sure that any =
warranty I had left would have been voided by this technique.  However, =
since my hinge was completely separated, I didn't have much to lose (was =
I completely unhinged?), and the results have several benefits.  The =
hinge feels solid, I KNOW that my 100LX will last for a lot longer now, =
AND I'm able to spot my LX in a crowd - nobody else has exactly the same =
kind of hinge decorations <grin>.

I any case, the brass cost less than $0.50 (and I've got several inches =
left), while the epoxy was around $4.00.  All in all, an extremely cost =
effective solution.

Good luck,=20

Subject:      READMAIL, others like it?
Content-Type: text

First, while browsing through SUPER last night, I stumbled on the
READMAIL program.  This is almost exactly what I've been looking for!
Well, once I downloaded it and tried to run it, I found two problems.
The most serious one was that it wouldn't run on my NT desktop at work.
But it ran on the palmtop fine, except there were bad color problems.
The program has numerous color schemes, none monochrome.  However, I
can manually develop a color scheme myself.  Is anyone using this
program on their palmtop already?   Does anyone have a color scheme
already developed?

Also, are there other programs like this that will read standard UNIX
mail archive folders?  This is one of my main needs - I download my
mail from my ISP about monthly to save on disk storage space, and
don't have a handy way to read these backups.  I have downloaded
elm for the PC, and looked at Pine, but all these seem to require
that you hook up to your network to get send/receive capability. All
I want to do is browse...

A friend told me about this a few weeks ago. I didn't believe him. I had to
see it for myself.

Just imagine... Ýwavy dream lines¨

You live in San Francisco and go to New York for business. You enter all
your business meetings in MS Outlook's calendar on your Windows laptop
before you leave. You fly to New York and adjust your location (time zone)
so your computer will what time it is. Then you miss a crucial appointment
because the calendar claims a meeting is at 3pm even though you said it was
at noon.

All your appointments get time shifted when you change your location. They
claim this is a feature. I kid you not.

I can only guess that somebody decided appointments should be stored as GMT
and then displayed as local times depending on the time zone the computer
thinks it's in.

As to why they thought this was a good thing, I have no clue.

Check into a strong loupe (15x - 20x).  While there are some specialized
magnifiers for handling microfilm, they are expensive.  Check out Start
International (800-259-1986)
http://www.startinternational.com/pdf_files/loupes_graphic.pdf.  They have
two nice pocket-sized (5.43 x 1.73 x 1.81" (138 x 44 x 46mm)) microfilm
readers that list for $101.60 (15x) and $147.70 (20x).

You shouuld be able to find a good quality jeweler's loupe with 18x
magnification for around $20.00.

The Palmtop News Reader (PNR) will read Unix format mail.
Although the main program is x00LX-specific (PNR.EXM), there
is also a PNR.EXE in the distribution that should run on
the desktop.  Thus far I have been unable to get it to run
on *my* desktop, however.

My current solution is to save the archives to disk in raw
format (virtually entirely ASCII) and use X-Tree to compress
the files into an archive and to browse/search as needed.

I gather this is for real.  My car 'plip' uses IR -in fact I'd say that it
is more common than Rf now in the UK.  It is much less subject to problems
from outside interference.

The matter is said to be being taken very seriously by 3Com.

It does seem that it would be very hard to actually capture the signal, as
it is highly directional.   If you were in the car *next* to mine and in the
line from me to the detector in the car, I guess you could do it.  But I'd
be a bit suspicious of a chap standing behind my car holding up a Palm Pilot
or an IR detector.  It would be much easier to capture an Rf signal.

A number of cars now use a rolling pseudo-random sequence of codes (a
single-use key) that would prevent this kind of attack.

You'd also still have to hot-wire the car and defeat the steering lock, as
on most the IR just unlocks the doors.  You need the key and/or the presence
of the key plip (contains a transponder) to disarm the immobiliser.

And as suggested you'd have to stand *very* close with an HP200LX, I believe
from previous postings a 95 has a more powerful IR transmitter - no idea
about receiver sensitivity.

It most certainly is the way that the Win-ce devices handle
appointments.  A number of similar threads about bug/feature have
occurred on CIS.

The "feature" requires you to first set the computer to the time/place
you will be for that appointment.  Then set the appointment.  Then set
the time place back to where you are.  Now repeat for each
country/timezone you will be in for a series of appointments on a long
trip.  Simple, no!

Or buy an HP200! (G)

I'm surprised at this. IR remotes have traditionally been considered much
safer than RF ones because of the difficulty of interception. The range =

my Renault remote is just a few inches beyond the window, so any
interceptor would have to be standing next to me, or borrow the remote =

a few minutes - hardly practicable.

Hi Group--

I've been playing around with X-Finder (a sort-of palmtop version of
windoze explorer).  It needs quite a bit of fiddling around to get it
set up, but it's well worth it  8-)   Sort of a GUI menu system/file
manager combined (With a lot of very cool features).

Get the archive from the HPLX-L home page.  This is Dr. Larry Garwood's
file set - with the .ENV file commented in English.  (It's a Japanese
program).  The current edition of PTP has some instructions for
installing it.  To get the best use, you'll need several other
programs:

LHA.EXE (compression archiver/decompressor)  on SimTel sites (LHA255)
UNZIP.EXE   on SUPER
OPEN.EXE and RUN.EXE   Both on SUPER
ZCOPY.COM (There are at least two programs by this name.  X-Finder
doesn't want zcopy from SimTel).  The one you'll need is at:
        http://www.vector.co.jp/pack/00tools/zcopy.com
All of these should be installed somewhere in your path.

You'll probably also want MoreEXM, MaxDOS, and WhereIs from SUPER, and
LFTree (lftree06.lzh) and LXFiler (LF107.lzh) from:
        http://www.vector.co.jp/common/dos/util/machine/hp/
LXFiler wants to use ÝAlt F4¨ as the hotkey.

One more cool program you should have is IconEdit.  I don't recall the
URL - found it by following several links from the author's page.  I
can send this one to anyone who wants it.

The finder.env file and the two icon .lzh files go in C:\_DAT

Oh yeah...  The archive includes a program called finderp2.  You run
this with the command   finderp2 >exm.env   That creates a text file
list of your exm progs and hot keys that you can merge into finder.env.

This should help get you started...   I've still got a lot to learn
about this software.  If you figure out anything let the group know 8-)

Hey I don't see that's so bad.

When I've travelled US-UK etc I've had this problem...but with the LX!

Outlook supports a second time zone (SCH+ too and better IMHO) so I have GMT
(or BST) and EST.   As long as I pay attention if I'm setting up a meeting
for when I'm in the US and if I say '3 pm' I enter it at 3pm EST then when I
actually turn up then bingo it's spot on.

Outlook stores everything in GMT and tracks the offsets (well OK I'm
GMT-centric, being MS it is probably Redmond-time with an offset).

The LX does not, it stores the time as an absolute 'text'.  So if I synch
the LX with Outlook (or SCH+) I get an appointment at the absolute local
time.  So a US appointment goes in at say 0300 for an 8am meeting.  When I
shift time zones (and change the LX system time) if I recall rightly the LX
still thinks I have an 0300 meeting.

So you are right about the risk of synch but I'm afraid in this case I think
the LX has it wrong.

Hmmm - better?  Don't know about that.  STS is one of my favorite (and
most used) programs.  X-Finder is a different animal.  It's an EXM
program, GUI interface etc.  It works as both a program launcher menu
and file manager.  It can launch EXMs and DOS programs.  Also will open
*.?db files in the appropriate PIM.  You can use an icon for each data
file, and launch from that.  I'm still finding out new stuff about
X-Finder.  But no way will I give up STS  8-)

One neat thing about X-Finder is that it can use icons archived in
uncompressed format in LZH files (saves space).

Yes, I did, in my description. It still does not work with my HP 200 LX,

It's more a case of the LX doesn't have it your way, but does have it the way
of the previous poster. And mine, basically cos I prefer the timing to be
oriented around MY day, ie the day that I actually experience (meaning
breakfast time at 9 am in sg is equivalent to breakfast time at 9 am in say
uk). When I travelled to Australia and New Zealand last year, I keyed my
appointments in as if the times in Oz and Nz were the same as the time in Sg.
On the flight there, I switched time zones and none of the appointments went
wonky. I like it that way cos to me (as the person living the day), I'd like my
4 pm meeting to be shown as the last meeting of the working day which it /was/
to me, and not an 8 pm appointment (back in Sg) which would have implied a
dinner appointment. And I'd be scratching my head wondering (if I see this
years later) why I was in a restaurant for dinner starting at 12 midnight?

Seems to me that this is one case where it's different strokes for different
folks. And I'm different from you cos I don't use Outlook, or for that matter,
any other PIM other than the LX. I generally have my HPLX open next to my
notebook/desktop PC and function perfectly happily ignoring my organisation's
Lotus Notes calendar which practically nobody else uses anyway. <grin>

Bottom line here: the previous poster is correct that we should avoid syncing
with Outlook - on that I think we agree. <GRIN>

I can see the point that if you don't need to synch with Outlook then the LX
is fine.

Of course if you *do* need to synch what we really need is a synch tool that
accounts for the fact that the LX runs all events in 'now' time, not
GMT+offset.  Tricky.

Hi Brian & group-

I just looked again, and the archive is there on the HPLX-L page, right
near the top.  I think maybe you need to refresh your browser's cache.
You may be looking at a cached older edition of the page  8-    It has
the version with the English comments.

I too can't find it.  I even searched for it in the full file listing page
and nothing came up.  And, yes I reloaded.

What is the exact URL you are looking at?

Hmm, Interesting! If I view the page in NetScape, everything is OK. If
I use WWW/LX, the link appears in the line below the text "Dr J. L.

I'll see if I can fix it.

I haven't used LZH in years, which version should I download and where?

Don.

Here's an interesting observation, I recently took
possession of a Viking 32meg card (Thanks to
Avi Meshar!) and just love having all that space
in my pocket computer, but when I came to
plug the card into my desktop (Win95) I
was rewarded(?) with a brief flicker from
the drive light.... and nothing more...

I fully expected to have to diddle with different
drivers and setups, but resorted to a hunch, I
simply popped the card and re-inserted it,
and was rewarded with the double-chime
and an extra drive letter in explorer!

This particular card, a Viking CF 32meg with
adapter, seems to need double-inserting to
be read by Win95, my previous (and much
loved) SanDisk 5meg card would mount almost
instantly, requiring no additional drivers as 95
has built-in support for SanDisk.

BTW, if anyone is interested, I am currently about
1/2 the way through transposing the HP200LX
users manual into HTML with the intention (?)
of putting up a website with the manual in a
few iterations, with no pix, for fast browsing
with limited palmtops, another site with pix
for hot-rodded palmtops & desktop junkies,
and a downloadable zip of the whole project.

At my current rate, it will probably take me
another two months, as there are squillions
of little images in the manual that cannot
be succesfully translated into text/ascii and
need scanning and sizing, so don't hold your
breath!

Have you ironed out any copyright issues with HP? You might get in trouble

The only "advantage" I can see is that some browsers (or web-servers for
that matter) may not recognize the .LZH extension and will try and
download the file as text, destroying it in the process. With the ZIP
extension, this problem is avoided.

> I haven't used LZH in years, which version should I download and where?

LHA v2.55 is the latest, AFAIK. You can get it here:

ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/arcers/lha255e.exe

or at your local Simtel mirror.

Today I acquired a new in the box copy of IBM Writing Assistant v2.0. It's a
cool word processor that runs on the LX just fine. It comes with a built-in
125,000 word spell checker and a synonym checker. It has both 3.5" and 5.25"
disks and I have the original license. I really have no use for software, I
did open the package and install it on my LX to check for compatibility and
it works great! I promptly deleted the files, and used shrink wrap to seal
the box back.

If anyone can make use of the software, I will gladly donate it to a good
home. I only have one copy, so first come, first served.

Your experience roughly parallels mine. I have an ST 40mb card
that has worked about a problem in my 200lx from the beginning.

It has also worked without hiccough in my Compaq portable. However
in my Libretto, the system hangs if I power up with the card in the
PCMCIA slot. If I power up and then `hot-insert' the card, the
proper drive is created and everything is fine.

You might see if it is the `twice inserted' or the `inserted after
boot' that is the governing factor for your card.

As an aside, just in case anyone has any clues on this subject, my
Compaq boots NT4.0 while by Libretto boots Win95...

I have a 5 Meg H.P. (Sundisk) card which can be read on a Versa M75 NEC
laptop, but not on a L50CT Libretto.
Any advise?

I also have a 5 Meg HP card and have never had trouble in my Lib50.

It used to be stacked, and I didn't want to load stacker on the Lib
so I unstacked the card and it has always worked fine in all three
of the machines I have with PCMCIA slots (HP200, Lib50, Compaq)

Wierd huh?

Hi gang! The word processing software I offered has been claimed! To be fair
to everybody, I downloaded my mail and took the first person that responded
who happened to be Ian Butler. I'm sorry I didn't have more copies as there
were several list members who wanted it, but my friend who I acquired this
from told me he has some more old unopened stuff that I may be able to lay
my hands on, I'll keep everyone posted.

Yes, indeed.
It also makes me feel better about my compact flash problems.
BTW to all who offered suggestions.  I tried them all, none worked so I
took the cfs back to Frye's.

Now does anyone know of a cheap source of Simple Tech flash cards?

While we're discussing pc cards, I just gave in and bought a Windoze 98
laptop.

I have several pc cards (stacked) that work great in my 200lx and compaq
aero, but I can't seem to get stacker working on the win 98.

I got a new copy of stacker 4.0 for win and dos. It is supposed to put a
mobile stacked volume on a disk along with Stacker.exe (anywhere) Then
any body is supposed to be able to simply run stacker.exe and be able to
read the stacked volume.

The problem is stacker anywhere only works on replaceable drives, and
windows 98 thinks it is a fixed disk.

I read somewhere that the difference is the fat or some such on the
disk.

I tried formatting the card from dos with the /F option, but was told
that it was incompatible with the media.

Does anyone know of a utility that will format the cards like (as) a
floppy?

I did get stacker 4.0 working on a hard disk partition under win 98. But
stacker requires to be operated under dos. under dos I can't read the
card in the pcmcia slot. (incompatible drivers?) Are there drivers that
will work under dos with a TI pcmcia port?

Thanks.

Bob

Hi list,

Since a few weeks back the daily dose of the HP-LX list (digest
version) is 20-25k big. Previously it was more like 50k per day!

I also (think I) see treads appearing with answers, without me seeing
the original message.

Is the list losing posts, or active members, or has it got to do with
the new rules when answering posts? Can't make heads or tails of this.

Is anyone else seeing this, or is it just me!? Should I book an

Why does that sound strange?  Doesn't it cost as much to ship ten as it does
to ship one?  You shouldn't have had to pay that $4 more than once.  I mean,
it's just a little cable.

Oh well...it's still a good deal.  Let us know how they work.

At that price you may want to consider getting one from the thaddeus,

even 64mb ram either new or refurbish. I can't remember the price but you

(30MB), all of them work fine in the HP200LX and used to work fine in the
Libretto 50.

At some point in time, the Libretto with Win95 started to crash Win95 when I
hot inserted the flash cards. It was OK if I booted the Libretto with the
card already inserted.

As this was annoying, I have made a full Win95 re-install of the Libretto
and regularly checked that the hot insertion of flash cards worked OK. This
was OK until I installed MS DIRECTX drivers 5.2. Then the hot insertion
crash re-appeared. If I desactivate the DirectX drivers, all is fine again
(but there is no option to remove these darn drivers).

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Yves Leurquin

Hi list,

Since a few weeks back the daily dose of the HP-LX list (digest
version) is 20-25k big. Previously it was more like 50k per day!

I also (think I) see treads appearing with answers, without me seeing
the original message.

Is the list losing posts, or active members, or has it got to do with
the new rules when answering posts? Can't make heads or tails of this.

Is anyone else seeing this, or is it just me!? Should I book an
appointment with a shrink? :-)

Thanks

Goran..

I believe there was a change in `addressing' such that my `normal'
response (i.e. what I get when I don't think about it) went from
being a message back to the list to being a message back to the
individual. This caused several of my messages to go back to
the individual rather than to the list.

My personal preference very much favors `normal' being `just the
list', but now I have adjusted and although it is a nuiscance for
me to have to readdress every message I send, it isn't such a big
pain that I would complain about it. It does cut down on the
number of times that I respond, though.

ÝPS: I don't like to get `personal' copies of list messages myself.
I'd much rather read a response only on the list. Reading them
both places is a pain, and most responses have some `public' value.¨

I, too, notice less traffic and I am disappointed that it is down.

I had such great luck with the Laplink Remote and my WinDoze 3.1
machine-simple, reliable and very functional connectivity with my
desktop.  I am not having such good luck with either my WinDoze 98
machine or with IR communication between my two LX200 machines.  The
instructions in TRANSFILE WIN200 are pretty limited.  I follow them but
do not get any evidence for connection from either the palmtop or the
desktop.  I am confident the serial port on the desktop is
functional--it drives a modem without any problem.  My questions:
1.  how to tell if the HP serial port is working?
2.  do the settings in SETUP (i.e. address and interrupt) affect COM1 or
are these for something else?
3.  Do the settings in DATACOM affect the COM1 port? when using FILER to
connect with TRANSFILE 200?
4.  What is the physical connection of COM2 with the outside world
5.  How do I tell if my infrared ports are functional?  I cannot get any
communication using infrared between my two palmtops-would be great if
they did!  I have followed the directions in the manual, but to no
avail.

I did at one time get transfile win200 to work on my laptop with the LX
but no longer.
Batteries are fresh.

I'm looking forward to any help from this astute group.

Thanks in advance.

Subject:      WWW/LX related questions, wavplay, 123&HTML.

        Hello all,

    I have a few questions about WWW/LX Plus2 latest version:

    Is the restriction on lenght of URL adress (128 byte?) still
    present when using registered version? E.g. when typing complex
    AltaVista command line queries to save online time, you can run
    out of box space. But when doing the same query using menu forms,
    it works OK, so WWW/LX must understand full 255 char URLs.

    How can you specify two external viewers for the same extensions?
    E.g.: there are many WAV subformats, LxVox won't support all. The
    polish freeware PLWAV_A3 can do stereo, 16-bit via speaker; but is
    slow, needs huge RAM, etc. So LxVox should try first, if it can't
    play, then Plwav comes.
    Btw, search for <plwav_a3.zip>, about 20KB archived.

    I bet, with errorlevels and piping/redirection it should work
    under DOS; but can you handle these in WWW.cfg? Piping should
    be useful alone as well, e.g. Midi format 1 files listened to
    ASAP, by piping Midi1to0 | Lxmid171.

    I was suprised to see that you cannot enter hidden attribute
    directories in WWW/LX local fileview, no way. Are you living
    with it, never noticed or I missed a workaround?

    Have you considered asking for Vertical Reader embedded/added
    into HV? I bet, some people would prefer watching text dominated
    pages this way.

    Is it possible to make a LOTUS123 based hypertext viewer? The
    simple grid structure might make it easy to render pages.
    Frames=Freezing, etc. All we need is a converter.

    Have any of you tried or keep using Bobcat browser on palmtop?

            Thanks for attention, faithfully: Tamas Feher.

Here are a few of the methods I have used in the past. I bet I use them
again in the future. :)

>1.  how to tell if the HP serial port is working?
>
Many methods:
a.) Open the Datacomm application, identify the pins on the palmtop for
transmit and receive.  Short them together and set the palmtop's
"advanced" settings to "flow=none", and make sure that the "local Echo"
box is NOT checked.  Return to the terminal screen and confirm every
keystroke appears on the screen.
NOTE: this test only confirms UART and transmit/receive function.

b.) Use Datacomm to "talk" to another PC running something like ProComm
Plus (avoid the Windows version of PC Plus, it sucks).

c.) Attach a "blinky box" to the serial port of the palmtop and "see"
that all the pins are acting normal.  A blinky box is one of the LED
line monitors for RS232 and can be found at Radio Shack.  You will need
the cable for your palmtop and at least one DB9 to DB25 adapter.
>
>2.  do the settings in SETUP (i.e. address and interrupt) affect COM1 or
>are these for something else?
>
The setting for "Comm port power in DOS" found in the "Setup"
application, is only an issue when you use a program ending with .EXE
Palmtop native applications manage the serial port without help from
this setting.

The addresses for serial ports are a kind of standard and should be set
to; 03F8 and 4 for comm1.  The palmtop does not have a comm2, unless you
insert a PC card.
>
>3.  Do the settings in DATACOM affect the COM1 port? when using FILER to
>connect with TRANSFILE 200?
>
No.  The Filer application has it's own configuration screen for setting
the communications parameters.  Be sure the port IO address is set to
03F8 and interrupt is set to 4 in the "Setup" application and then set
the communications stuff in the Filer application.  Start with 9600 baud
and after everything gets going, try faster rates.  NOTE: Server mode in
filer communications settings should be turned on.
>
>4.  What is the physical connection of COM2 with the outside world
>
Comm2 is only available if you insert a PCMCIA card that has a UART with
a port address and interrupt for comm2.  This would include modem cards
and serial cards.  Also some other types of cards "look" like a UART to
software.  Mostly it's modem cards for comm2.

This one is harder.  Try one or more of the following...
a.) Point the palmtop's IR port "glands" at a camcorder.  Set Datacom's
baud rate for 300 and change the "interface" setting to "infrared".
Each keystroke should be visible as a pulse on light in the viewfinder
of the camcorder.

b.) Go to radio shack and buy one of their IR detector strips.  Follow
the instructions on the strip and pretend your palmtop is a TV remote.
Remember to set the datacomm interface to Infrared and the baud rate to
300.  Each keystroke should produce a small flash of re-emitted light
from the strip.

TFwin200 is an excellent program.  I bet Microsoft went to special
trouble to keep it from working in Win98.

Slap them and keep the cover on the compartment.  Fresh batteries are
wasting energy doing that, besides you don't actually think there's any
>kind of future to that relationship, do you?  :)

After reading what I have put here, you should get stuff from the

Yesterday's digest had a discussion of PC
cards that included:

  Viking CF 32meg card (David Lawrence)
  Sandisk 5meg card  (David Lawrence)
  ST 40mb card (David Ness, Jefcom)
  Simple Tech cards (Patrick West)

I'm wanting to purchase my first memory
card for my 1MB HP200LX; I have an extremely
limited income, and I don't want to make a
mistake.  I've had to rely on the 200LX
increasingly in business and personal matters
as my own memory rapidly degrades (seriously!).
Can list members recommend:

    - good cards that work flawlessly
    - cards to avoid
    - commercial sources for cards at good
      prices

PC compatibility may someday be an issue,
when I finally replace the 1984 XT ....

If anyone has a card for sale, please
contact me directly by email.

Thanks for your responses -- and for the
continued informative discussions.

Subject:      Fight the evil, volunteer.

        Dear LXers,

    I think this was an evil year (1998 = 3 x 666), especially for the
    palmtop world; with M$ WinCE making the big breakthrough.

    So the uncompromised good side has less than a month to make some
    advance or we are doomed. I think good side is UNIX. So here is
    the challange:

    100LX and OGO700LX users, please volunteer to repeat the install
    process described at <www.erols.com/rld>. It is already known that
    some daemons make 200LX crash when running Minix. If we knew, how
    the other two members of the family behave; exorcism to make HPLX
    Un*x-ready should be easier! (possibly in the form of a driver)

    If we had a working Unix clone (Minix), new perspectives for open
    world (especially ELKS & Linux) would open up. I know many users
    say that DOS is enough, but HPLX is at the edge of extinction. And
    look at evolution: the species, whose era came to an end; always
    tried to move into niche environments, sizes, symbiosis. Some, who
    were most successful, still live in remote areas after 10¬6 years.
    Unix is a hideaway, wher erace among palmtops won't be killing.

    So even if you are not interested in running Minix or ELKS-86, it
    is clearly a life-extender project for YOUR palmtop as well!

    Anyone with a 10MB or bigger card and a Linux PC w/PCMCIA could
    help. All I can offer is possibly a working Minix v1.7.1 16-bit
    install dump from my XT.

    If you feel unfamiliar with Unices, but still wish to help:
    Having a SimpleTech 20MB ATA Flash card PCMCIA is nice.
    Then you could possibly get Minix installed within minutes
    by means of automatic card image dump transfer. And see if
    your 100/200/700LX machine likes Un*x or not. No wizardry!

    Please tell me, if you have exactly such a card and volunteer.
    I will try to convince Mr. Dubs, that he'd restart Minix work.
    But please show up, let us point out strong user interest.

    I am somewhat suprised, that LX specific HW vendors showed no
    interest in Unices for the palmtop. I wonder if Unix-phyles would
    buy some 18MHz, 96MB units to have pocket $ without hash. Such a
    project may propel HW innovation as well.

            Sincerely Yours: Tamas Feher.

I am happy with both my HP 5mb and ST 40mb cards. Here is my summary
of the situation v-a-v the 200Lx:

Discussions here lead me to believe that the HP has better power
consumption characteristics than the ST card. For me this doesn't
matter as I generally keep the HP card in my 200Lx and only swap in
the ST card when I want to do something with the larger disk. As a
result, *if* the ST card has an effect on battery life (I'm not sure
either way) I don't end up by seeing it.

I don't notice any difference in speed, but then most of what I do
doesn't take much CPU/Disk time, so I'm not sure that I'm the right
person to comment on that aspect.

FYI the 40mb card cost $159 from Marcan. They delivered it promptly and
handled the transaction well.

I=B4ve tried this on my Peugeot, but with no success. =

The car key has an infra-red sender to open the doors. I tried to use
Remote Commander (from SUPER) to capture the signal from the car key,
and use the LX to open the car, but the car would just not respond. My
TV and HiFi sets do respond, so the problem is not with Remote
Commander.

 I have a 10MB Sundisk flashcard which is stacked with stacker 3.0. I used
it fine with HP200lx but on my recently acquired Fujitsu lifebook B110, it
cannot read the stacked portion and the unstacked portion only on Win98 but
not in DOS. In my old 486 running Win 3.11, there was no problem in
stacking.

Hi all,

At http://www.enol.com/~rsmith/login.html there is a
site called the World Wide HP200LX User Message
Board. I've registerd there several different times, but
everytime I try to access the board I get a message
saying "Illegal User Name Entered". I might possibly
have entered it wrong once, but I KNOW I've entered
it right since.

Does anyone know if this site is active? Do any LXer's
actually use that board? Is anyone else having the same
trouble accessing it?

TIA,

I just downloaded Freecell 2.7 this afternoon - (Thanks Curtis for
continuing to make your games better and better!).   I have been
using an old-old version without the game numbering feature - it
makes it more fun to be able to share the challenging boards
with others.   I was playing 323559 (I got the number from Curtis'
page)  for a WHILE and after many false starts and dead ends
finally got through it.   I replayed it and recorded the steps - and
noticed a lot of wasted moves in the process- but I saved it in a wk1
file - in case anybody is interested in seeing it -(goofs and all).

Now that I have the new version I'll keep note of any really
difficult boards and post them.  Anybody else got any tough ones?.

I have just installed a 20Mb compact flash with
PCMIA adapter, this gives you the flexibility of
using the Compact Flash in a camera (one day)
or selling it a later date.

The brand I opted for was Sandisk the inventor
of the compact flash.  An associate bought in
for me from the web and posted it to me with
adapter it cost $106 + postage to Australia,
believe delivery was free in the USA.

There is no difference in the capabilities of WWW/LX between
the demo and registered versions in this respect.  The ONLY
difference in the demo version is that it stops after
downloading 16K of stuff.  Otherwise everything else is the
same - the demo is a full working version.

As for the specific URL length limit you mention, I believe
that limit was increased several minor versions of WWW.EXE
ago.  Which version or you using?  Check out the web site
(www.dasoft.com) for the latest download.

You may be bumping up against a difference between what the
underlying WWW.EXE program can handle (256 bytes) and a limit
there may be in the HV program for the URL input box (128
bytes).  I don't know if any of this has changed with the
newer versions.

> How can you specify two external viewers for the same extensions?

Not in the HV.CFG file that I am aware of.  If you list two, I
suspect it will always do the first one.  You could use a
simple batch file and a CHOICE-type of program to prompt for
you to specify which of those WAV-playing programs you want to
run.

> into HV?

Not likely to happen.  HV is already using every bit of
available RAM do to what it already does.  New features are
very difficult.

Hi, has anyone succeeded in setting up the 200Lx as a digital voice

me?

for framework users (and other)
there is a modify version of NUMLOCK of stefan peichl.
It's call NUMSPEC.
This version remap only the key + & -.
the second this is you call the program with CTL UP, so you can still use
NUMLOCK if you want.
yes it's now possible to go in and out a frame with only one key.
I can send it by email (please include the word NUMSPEC in the subject)

     There appear to have been some problems at the University Computer

still experience any problems.

     I have added some notes from Peneil Romanelli regarding X-Finder
to the "temporary X-Finder download section".

As far as I understand, DOS (and, i guess, Windoze) looks to the drive
letter to determine if that drive is removable or fixed. I don't think
reformatiing will solve your problem if the issue is with the drive letter
assigned to the card.

Can you maybe use DOS's ASSIGN command to make the card look like either a:
or b: ?

Hi Stan,


In order to use Transfile WIN200, the palmtop must be put into "server
mode", which originates in the Filer.

Start up the filer and do the following:

        Menu
            Communications
                Remote Settings

By now, you should have a screen of communications settings.  Start with a
baud rate of 19200.  Over on the right hand portion of the screen, there is
a selection for "Server Mode".  Set this to "enabled", then do "OK" to
return to the filer.  If you try to connect now with Transfie WIN200 it
should work.

I use this setup all of the time and it works great, although on rare
occasion, I have a file that won't transfer.  If this happens, try reducing
the baud rate to 9600.

Good luck,
Jon

Greetings All:

     I use Toshiki Sasabe's DIAL.EXM (v1.1) extensively here in the
lab. We have a PBX system here at the University, and it would be nice
to be able to configure the program such that there was a choice of
prefixes to send before the number, or failing that, just to dial w/ or
w/o prefix. I suppose this could be done (not so elegantly) w/ a batch
file, but I was hoping one of the more "programming proficient" of you
out there had recompiled the program with such an enhancement.

Have you tried LX-Dial, avail on SUPER, I believe?  I'm 99.9% certain it
does what you want.

Check on SUPER.  I remember that there's a file with a circuit diagram
and some software to do this.   Do a search for "voice" and you should
find it.

MIME-Version: 1.0

I mailed the list a few days ago regarding a problem with my HP.
When turning it on, it boots very slowly (sort of like watching an
old 300 baud modem text display).  It gets some length through the
boot process (note:  never getting to the topcard display) and then
turns itself off, sometimes (but not always) restarting the boot
sequence.  It does this regardless of main battery state of charge,
backup battery state of charge, or whether or not the AC adapter
(the real HP item, BTW) is connected.  It is very frustrating.

I have disassembled the wee beastie.  Under 10X magnification there
are no evident cold or fractured solder joints.  I compressed the
battery terminal spring clips to ensure that they were not being
intermittent; no help.  Now this machine has been pampered.  It is
only about 15 months old.  It has always resided in a leather case,
and has never been dropped -- in short, it appears brand new.
There is no *visible* probable cause of this failure.

My question:  has anyone even seen a failure remotely like this in
the past?  Between the inability of the HP to synchronize with
Outlook (hey, they didn't let *me* pick our corporate standard PIM)
and this inexplicable failure, I'm strongly considering jumping
ship -- perhaps a Psion 5, or perhaps I'll just wait awhile.

Thanks,
Todd

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hello all;

I recently received the message below.  I seems that my little message
board experiment is finally gaining some attention, although too late.

The World Wide HP200LX User Message Board was a little experiment that I
was going to try.  I wanted to try it as a "pull technology", instead of
the "push technology" that the HPLX mailing list is. However, it has
never really worked right and with school, work and family, I really
don't have the time to administer it.  (Besides, I'm not sure how my ISP
would feel about the extra traffic it would create!)  One thing I
learned when I was on the mailing list was that HPLX users are a verbose
bunch of folks! ;-)  But, if anyone wants to visit my 200LX page at
http://www.enol.com/~rsmith/hp200lx.html or e-mail me with questions,
they are always welcome to do so.  I'm not entirely anti-social! ;-)

If Yahoo has an HPLX club, then I would encourage its use.

Thanks, and long live the HPLX!

Hi, gang-

Here's some more info for anyone playing around with X-Finder.

I got DOS executables (.com .exe but not .bat) to run directly from the
opening screen.  Put in a line like this:

%d=09,du=09,c:\charge\charge=09=09#charg-it=09Charge It

The %d is the same for all items in the opening screen setup.  The ,du
I'm not sure about, but it works.  Next is a comma and the path to your
DOS program.  Then # followed by a name (used to pick an icon).  The
final item is the long name that's displayed on the screen.  Items are
separated by hard tabs.  This doesn't work with batch files...

The location of each line in the list controls the position of the
icon.

Icons:  The best place for your icons is in the .lzh icon archives.
You can use your icon directory if you have one, but if it has a lot
of icons, X-Finder takes a looooooooooooooong time to start.  AFAIK
the icon.lzh archive has most of the icons, and iconfld.lzh has those
used for "folders" (directories).

You can add your icons to these by doing something like:
lha a -z icon.lzh whatever.icn     or
lha a -z iconfld.lzh another.icn

You can add several at once by using *.icn instead of the name.
Also, existing icons can be changed by doing:
lha u -z icon.lzh new.icn     if new.icn is the name of an existing
icon to be replaced by one with the same name.  Your new icon must have
a later date than the existing one.  The -z parameter is absolutely
necessary to add your icons in UNCOMPRESSED form!

If anyone finds anything new about X-Finder, please post it to the list  =
8-)

More later...

-Peniel

Subject:      New hardware accessories, not for the faint of HPLX.

        Hello all,

    I browsed the news at <www.winceonline.com> and frankly, the HPLX
    is in big trouble. No accessories for the future, unless...

    A new direct thermal portable printer from Seiko at only 13 oz.
    Called Seiko DPU-3445, with IrDA 1.0 and RS-232 interfaces. Don't
    know if it's A4/ltr/lgl sized or smaller. WinCE ready, but DOS?
    The company was formerly called Seikosha, made matrices printers.
    <http://www.seikoprinters.com/html/mobile_sol.htm>

    A product by Sierra (?) called Aircard 300, possibly an Ardis
    Radiomail replacement. PCMCIA Type II format, with wire antenna
    and very low power consumption for handheld devices (decreases
    battery life by only 15% used w/ a HP620LX); it can do 19.2kb/s
    transfer in both directions. Downside: only WInCE driver, no DOS;
    not even Win95/NT!

    I bet this will be the SH888 of the next three months! Let's start
    getting info/programmers for a driver or forget it forever.
    BTW, I'm pretty sure that Ericsson would give away info for SH888
    should a guy walk into their head office showing around an OGO

Subject:      Difference between 1MB and 4MB machine
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Dear all,

Before I get the witty response of 3MB, I'll explain...

I have two HP200LX, one a 1MB (S/N SG44100...), the second a 4MB (SN
SG73504..). I want to upgrade
one of them to a 64MB, double speed all singing & dancing unit. But which one?

Is there any difference in ROM revision, etc that makes one better?

Obviously I'd like to have the 1M unit done, so I'd end up with two very
usable machines, but is
there any advantage in getting the 4M unit upgraded?

Any advice appreciated.

Regards

David Cripps

PS the reason I've ended up with the two is that my wife has deserted the
HP camp and
gone over to a Palmpilot. I'm sorry I tried all I could but she kept saying
size IS important :-(

I had a 2M and a 4M unit to choose between.  I wanted to
get the 2M upgraded to have the larger backup size, but
chose the 4M for upgrade because the display had
significantly better contrast.  I haven't had to pull
out my backup in a year, so I'm convinced I made the
right choice.

This is an unusual device, though expensive.   Retails at UKL 1000 +VAT, but
claims to support DOS - though the reseller has never had to provide it for
that use.

Draws 100mA (max) through the PC card interface.

http://www.peak-development.co.uk/bus_interface/pc2isa.html

In principle you could operate all sorts of PC ISA cards from the LX,
assuming you could get the drivers to work.

It does have limitations due to the PC card interface not supporting
everything that ISA needs - the '8 MHz clock line' and the '50MHz high-speed
clock' were specifically mentioned.

Subject:      Stacker for HP-LX
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Potential Stacker users,
        I've been using Stacker on my palmtop for years now, and I heartily
recommend it -- I've never had a corruption or loss of data due to Stacker.
There are a few tricks and not-so-obvious pitfalls that some on the list
have touched on.
        Stacker includes some neat utilities, such as stacpalm for palmtops
and Stacker-Anywhere (probably trademarked).  Stacpalm is just a stripped
down version of the normal drive stacking program that has paths hardwired
into it.  It will work on an HP LX (the hardwired paths defeated my Zeos
Pocket PC).  Of course, if you have a memory-extended LX, you can copy the
normal stacking program over and use that.  Even if you don't have a
memory-extended LX, you can use LapLink to connect to a host machine that
has the Stacker directory on a drive (this is how I Stacked the memory card
on the Zeos).
        The Stacker-Anywhere feature is implemented by Stacking a drive
(typically a removable drive) using something (40-50K, I think) less than the
full drive, and placing a stacker.exe file on the unStacked space.  The
stacker.exe file is visible when the disk/memory-card is placed in the
computer (and the Stacker drivers are not enabled).  Running the stacker.exe
file gives one a command shell (command.com) with loaded and activated
Stacker drivers to read the disk/memory-card.  The only drawback to the
feature is that there is an annoying "nag prompt" printed after every
command is executed (if you've ever used it, you know what I mean).
        Again, you don't have to select the "Stacker Anywhere" feature from
the menu screen or command line to use this feature.  Simply use the command
line or menu screen to Stack all but 50K or so of the disk/card and then
manually copy stacker.exe to the unStacked space on the card.

        If you are Stacking a memory card, you might want to consider reserving
more unStacked space.  I keep stacker.com in the unstacked space, so that
I can load it from the card (no need to suck up precious space on C:).
Naturally, I have to keep a config.sys in the unStacked space (although,
autoexec.bat, since it is called after the Stacker driver is loaded, can
go in the Stacked space).
You might want to reserve enough space to keep the following files unstacked:
config.sys
autoexec.bat (just in case your stacked drive gets corrupted)
stacker.com
stacker.exe (just in case you move the card to a machine without Stacker)
check.exe   (in case the stacked drive gets corrupted)

I hope this helps someone...


I speak for myself, not for HP.

I tried this freeware and it's good- can play all kinds of wav files
with a loud and rather clear (as clear as it can be on a 200LX) sound.
However, I have experienced one interesting thing- when I run the
program in Filer (Filer.ini), after I exit it- my system time will be
set to a date in August year 2009!!!??? That's not so nice- so has anyone
else experienced this and maybe changed the source code to a more 200LX
friendly program?

Thanks,

Jorgen

I need some help please.
I'm trying to use ADBDUMP to export my appointment database to a comma delimited format. Each time I get a memory allocation error and the program aborts. Does anyone know why this could be happening. I am using the version posted on SUPER (ADBIO ver 1.2)
Here's what I have tried...
I unloaded everything from memory and executed it from the DOS prompt to give the program as much room as possible.
I tried running it in a DOS window on my desktop.
I re-downloaded the file from SUPER to make sure the executable wasn't corrupted.

Alternatively, is there another program which will convert adb files to comma-delimited format?

ADBIO puts all the appointments in memory in a linked list so that it can
attach the notes to the proper appointment.  The notes are kept separately
in the .ADB file.  This means you will need to have enough memory free to
accomodate the whole appointment file at once.  There may be options to
avoid this like not processing the notes or somehthing. I have just had a
quick glance at the code.

Cheers,
Mack

Win9x allows you to specify removable media. With the PC Card in place, =

Run mem from the DOS prompt.
If it shows less than 400K you probably have the built
in applications still loaded. In the App manager, drop down
the Application menu and select terminate all (close open apps first).
You restart the PIM by typing  100  at the DOS prompt.
If the mem report shows around 100K, you can up that to, say,
250K in the Setup screens, Option, System, Advanced, Dos.
I give DOS 250K which allows me to have a few of the built-in
apps active at the same time.
The 250K allows many pgms to run, including "shelling" to DOS.
Early DOS pgms and much shareware used the "small memory model"
which limited the pgm requirements to 128K.
I use Disk Navigator (a shell with macros and point-and-shoot)
to call my editor, VR, pkzip and other apps. for a specified file
with 250K allocated to DOS.

Hi, I hope it's not an old topic...

Is it possible to read a PCMCIA ram card (formatted
on my hp100lx) in a notebook running Win95/98?

I have tried to put the card in the pcmcia slot
on my notebook, Win95/98 recognizes the card, but
it does not create any drive letter to access it.
Should I load any special driver?

Thanx & BYE

Hi again,
is it possible to make an hp100lx appear as an IRDA device
(I mean I don't want to use Transfile200 or similar)
found and recognized by the IRDA driver on a Win95/98
portable?

When I have to use the Transfile200 I have to disable the IRDA
driver otherwise Transfile can't find the HP...
I'd like to use one config for everything
(portable to portable AND portable to hp100lx)

and I'd like to have ELKS (smaller than Minix?) on my HP100
(I don't have big memory cards, only 512k, so probably it's
not enough).
I'm a unix fan... I teach unix courses and it would be
funny to show an hp100 running a unix clone!

Yes it is possible; I do it every day.  With Windows 95, you need to create
a CONFIG.SYS file that contains the following two lines:

DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CSMAPPER.SYS
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CARDDRV.EXE /SLOT=2

That's all there is to it.  After you reboot, these drivers will let Windows
95 recognize the RAM card.

This is probably the last time for me to write on this
subject, because I finally solved my problem. I tried 4-5
mice (amouse, gmouse, etc.), connected to the PC platforms
(Win95), but none of them worked. Finally, after two
years, I found one that actually works. It's the Genius
EasyMouse+. Of course, I bought it at once. Neither me,
nor the salesman knew why this one worked, and the others
didn't. Can you tell me what's the catch? Not that I'm
worried, but I'm still interested.

I have hust bought an AMD 5v 4Mb Flash memory card... but i can't make

tformat i got an error "card is write protected"... How the hell do you
write protect a flash card? After this error the LX just crashed and
wouldn't do anything... I stupidly removed the batteries (didn't know
the CTRL SHIFT ON trick...) and now i have to reload all my files, but i
still have the problem of making the bloody card work.
In the M-SYS compatibily list, this AMD card should work... but i still
haven't managed to do that.
Any help is greatly appreciated....

Hi, LXers.
If anyone has interest in purchasing InfoSelect (version 2.0 for DOS),
Micro Logic (the manufacturer) sells them for $49, which is a lot less
than the $79 listed on their web site.  Order via their phone number
201-342-6518.

I have no connection with Micro Logic except as a customer.  I'm not even
a happy one yet, as I just received my copy today and haven't had time to
try it out.

Thank you to Jon,

Your advice was eaxactly what I needed to get stacker to regard my PC
card as removable. I still have a little to figure out why stacker.exe
(anywhere) is not working under Win98, but I am a step further.

Win9x allows you to specify removable media. With the PC Card in place,
right click on "My
Computer", choose "Properties", then "Device Manager". Expand the "Disk
Drives" entry, double
click on your PC Card to bring up its properties, choose the "Settings"
tab, and check the
"Removable" option. Takes less time to do it than to read how. NT4
doesn't have an equivalent
procedure. I believe it gets the info from the drivers (but I'm only
running that on a desktop
with no PC Card slots). NT5¬h¬h¬hWindows 2000 has a "Device Manager",
but doesn't have a check
box for "Removable" for either the drive or the controller on it. It
auto-recognized my 260 MB
Type 3 HDD as a fixed drive; I haven't tried to change it because it's a
double-spaced volume,
and the Omnibook 800 I was testing it on dual-boots to W98 and NT5
Server.

I have a number of them that are correctly recognized under Win95 and

Meg. Kingston said that their smaller cards had the same proble and that
they have developed an engineering fix for it. I am still waiting to get
my replacement 96 MB card.

Just replaced the keyboard of my HP-200 LX after 4 years of constant use. Cost
approx US$ 100 for parts and labour at HP service center in Hong Kong. Normal
turnaround time is said to be 4-6 weeks - in my case it was just 2 days

Bob,

Stacker is indeed a wonderfull prg for the LX, you can disable the nag
prompt by typing the command
 PROMPT $p$g

I have moved to JAM since over 2 years and experience the same compression
ratio and stability as Stacker 4 (better than ver 3). The advantage with JAM
is that you can access the compressed AND the uncompressed portion of the
flash disk at the same time.

As with Stacker, I have so far been unable to have a JAM volume recognized
under Win95 but having an uncompressed portion on the flash card allows me
to move the files I want to transfer to the laptop from the compressed JAM
volume to the uncompressed portion which is then readable under Win 95.

Regards,

Yves Leurquin

This is an *old* version of LXTOOLS. I'd recommend getting my latest ball o' source and rebuilding:
  http://www.clark.net/~peterw/LXFileman/info.htm  (also searchable on SUPER)
You'll also get Ed Falk's nice LXBACKUP app that lets you perform incremental backups to your Linux machine and you can grab my lxfileman GUI file-manager app (lxfileman depends on a couple features I added to Andreas' LXTOOLS, mainly to deal with the fact that Tcl doesn't handle stderr messages well).

Thanks for the tip.  It doesn't help, though :-(  I get still get
variable amounts of the way through the bootup sequence.  I even
got to glimpse the topcard once :-)  It is a shutdown of some sort,
obviously; I can also hear the DC-DC converter quit whining.  It
does seem like it's turning itself off!  Very peculiar.

Now, before I send the palmtop and $125 off to Thaddeus computing
(that is a very reasonably-priced service, I might add), I have to
look at the economics.  There is still no synch solution for Out-
look.  So I could just shove the palmtop in a drawer and put that
$125 towards a machine that will, and will give me most of what I
had on the 200.  Then maybe one day I could get the thing repaired.
But it wouldn't be the primary machine anymore, at least not for
PIM-ing.  In all honesty, that's probably what will happen...

Hi all,

Just wanted to let the list know that I just received my upgraded 32 meg double
speed from Thaddeus Computing. I am impressed with the speed of their service. I
had it back in less than a week, including shipping during the Christmas season.

I am impressed with the speed of the double speed too! All my applications seem
to run more than twice as fast! (I use a 32 meg C: drive now instead of a flash
card). Oh, by the way, the 32 meg upgrade just dropped in price.

I'd recommend Thaddeus to anyone, world wide. So to anyone who is facing the
prospect of a 4-6 week repair, etc in their country... consider Thaddeus.

Mike...

<PRE>Yes it is possible; I do it every day.&nbsp; With Windows 95, you need to create
a CONFIG.SYS file that contains the following two lines:

DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CSMAPPER.SYS
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CARDDRV.EXE /SLOT=2

That's all there is to it.&nbsp; After you reboot, these drivers will let Windows

        Hello Lxers!

    This may be a repost, I don't know if it got through when
    Uconn went down. So don't get mad at me.

    In a previous posting, I mentioned another speaker WAV player.
    Well, that program has a newer version, namely PLWAV_A4.
    It's fixes include faster reading of samples, etc.
    I was aware only of an earlier version previously.

    It should be present on <ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi> or mail me.
    Freeware with Pascal source included. May be named PLWAVE4.ZIP.

            Thanks for attention: Tamas Feher.

    Ps: This program can play a WAV file, that was made by the L3DEC
    software-only MP3 decoder on the palmtop. Just give it damn lot
    of memory. Happy listening and don't try L3ENC!!!

Thanks for your help, but I just get a new error:

LXDIR 1.1a-Tk by A. Garzotto

tcgetattr(): Input/output error

This apparently comes about when the program is attempting to=20
set the baud rate for the COM port.  However, the man pages for
tcgetattr are useless at deciphering what may be causing this=20
error.

Thanks again -- I plan to use LXFileman whenever I get this
thing working. :)

I think new cards in the 12 meg range can be found for
about $75. I ran into a forsale in the newsgroup that had
several items and he sold me a 10 meg Sandisk for $40.
Its an older card, read speed is fine, write is slow.

I've found a version of NETX.EXE called EMSNETX.EXE which uses expanded
memory on the palmtop.  That way, anybody logging into a Netware server,
who has an EMS driver installed (like TREMM from Times2 Tech) can save
about 40K of RAM by loading much of the NETX shell into expanded memory.

If anybody wants this program, I just uploaded it to

This has come up before I think, but I wasn't paying attention! Sorry.
Is there a viewer for html files that could be used on  the HP200?
Could one of the programs such as nettamer be used? Perhaps there
is a program to strip out the html codes; I don't care if the formatting

isn't preserved.

(I want to download some pages of car prices from the web and refer to
them later,
"yes, I do, just so happen to have the dealer cost on that right here"

If you download the HTML files to your palmtop, you can use HV, the
freeware HTML Viewer from D&A Software, to view them offline.  It should
be available both at SUPER and www.dasoft.com.

Hello.  I'm obviously new to the list.  I just discovered that HPLX-200
on the WWW this past week.  I'm greatly intrigued, as this sounds exactly
like what I've been looking for.  I have some general questions before
I start shopping online for one--so I thought I'd fire them here.

1) Minimal configuration for effective use.  What would be the recommended
memory configuration to get the most use out of the HPLX?  I obviously
want more than 2 megs of RAM, but would 4 be enough to run programs for
downloading and reading  email and doing minimalist text word processing,
which are the two primary tasks I envision using the HP for?

2) Are used HPLX's a reliable choice?  I've seen the Palmtop Paper site,
and read over their advertising of used HPLXs.  Are these a good choice
in the sense of being in *good* condition?  And does one get the manual,
etc that one would would get with a new HPLX?

3) Other options of buying HPLXs...Just what are the options of buying
an HPLX200 besides the ones I've listed above?  Any recommendations or
warnings are greatly welcome.

Indeed, any general advice is more than welcome.

David Ball

>1) Minimal configuration for effective use.

My 200LX served me just fine with its original 2 megabytes for several
years.  The doublespeed upgrade is great and affordably priced, but it may
be more than you need just for text processing and e-mail reading.  When you
get some serious databases going it turns out to be necessary.

You must have a method for backing up.  Do not put this off for later.
Serial cable and connection to a desktop or notebook computer is very good.
Having a flash card or RAM card is even faster.

>3) Other options of buying HPLXs

Check into the online auctions on eBay (http://www.ebay.com), use
http://www.pdapage.com or Jango (http://www.jango.com) to price new ones .

I also found a CGA-friendly graphical HTML viewer on simtel

I don't know about overall features. Works great on the LX.

Sorry, I don't recall ever using Stacker on the RAM cards under Windows 95.
I did use it in the past under Windows for Workgroups  because one of my RAM
cards is an ACE DoubleCard, but I'm using them unstacked today.  The ACE
cards had a non-standard approach, in that they named the Stacker volume
STACVOL.ACE, so I had to rename it every time I wanted to open it on my
notebook computer, then name it back to return it to the palmtop.

Buy as much memory as you can afford... you can never have enough... I used 2

have lots of room...

HPLX 200's are an excellent choice. And you have thousands of DOS programs to

If you want a 32 or 64 meg doublespeed, Thaddeus is really your only choice.

I've played with the Palm Pilot, the Win CE clamshells, the real Win laptops,
and I keep coming back to the 200LX. The 200LX has a rich set of applications
and support (MS-Dos), and is truely a real PC, that fits in your pocket.

I am a longtime HP200Lx user. I also have several other machines,
portable and not portable. I use these other computers for heavy
computational work. My 200Lx is my PDA/PIM. This fact may influence my
views, so factor it in.

I have a 2mb 200Lx + 2 Flash Cards (5mb, 40mb). The flashcards
solve 2 problems, transfer of data and backup. I prefer this
strategy to a `large' regular memory in the 200, but YMMV.

I'd say 2mb + 5mb Flash is plenty for minimal use.

I'd say that Thaddeus (Palmtop Paper) has an execllent reputation
through countless messages both here and in HPHAND on Compuserve.
I have no relation to them, and bought my HP before I knew they
existed. By accounts here, used machines seem to have excellent
reliability, and were I in the market I would buy from them without
hesitation.

I'm sure EBay has HPs from time to time, but I can't offer you any
reliability advice there. I have had no experience with them
either way.

My only general note is that I was surprised to find my HP200Lx and
my Libretto to be complementary. I thought that getting the Libretto
would end my use of the 200. It didn't. On the other hand, it did
end my wish to have a `big' 200.

The 200 has had an amazingly long life in an otherwise incredibly
volatile marketplace. Having been given a Palm III that I have
abandonded after about a month's use, I find that there is still no
serious rival to the 200 for my purposes.

I've had my HP200LX for over 4 years. If I were going to buy one now,
knowing what I know about them, I would probably get a new, 8 meg speed
doubled version from the Palmtop Paper site. And then buy a 40 ~ 48 meg
SANDISK compact flash card to go with it. This would give you lots of
program and file storage space and still leave room for backing up the
entire 8 meg ram drive to the flashcard. (on the palmtop the c: drive is
the ram drive and the a: drive is the flashcard port)
This setup would suit me but not everyone. I don't surf or email with the
palmtop very much. I use the PIM's and keep games and info about various
subjects, reference data, Hisword Bible, etc. I use some of the "choice"
software from the SUPER site, and also program with quickC and PAL on the
palmtop.

Merry Christmas,

I've found used models to work well for me; I've had good luck with people
selling them on the internet, from ads posted to comp.sys.palmtops. I think
the level of cheating lying swine that get their hands on 200LXes may be lower
than for some other products:-).

As for memory, It Depends.

If you want to run a rich software suite with a modem plugged in, or keep a
modem card in there all the time, then you'll want a big tract of RAM; 4MB
would be barely enough to have a Good Time, and you'd probably end up
compressing that (JAM works well). 32MB would be very sexy.

But if you rarely use the modem card, or can comfortably lean down the files
you need accessible while using the modem, then you might be better off
sinking the extra $$$ on a flash card, rather than on a builtin RAM upgrade. I
ran with a 10MB flash card for ages, and recently picked up a lovely 85MB card
for just $300; so far I haven't had to compress my 85MB FLASH:-). And I put
everything on it, basically leave nothing on my C:, which means I can easily
rig things to just pop the card out, stick it in another HP, reboot and go ---
which appeals since I'm working on my clock-doubled 5MB 200LX right now
(flaked out screen) and am temporarily making do with my emergency-backup 1MB
100LX.

Remmember, this is an 8086 running MS-DOS, so RAM over 640KB is not involved
in running programs unless you play games with EMM drivers, which I haven't;
all memory above that 640K is used for ramdisk.

So the difference between a 1MB LX and one with more RAM is just the size of
the C: drive --- and the first jump is a doozey:-). 384K C: on a 1MB machine,
c. 1.3MB on a 2MB box, 4.3MB on a 5MB machine, etc. And that memory can be
compressed, with a yield that varies (obviously) depending on the nature of
the files; I mostly JAMmed etext and routinely saw 2.5/1 compression.

I have 8 meg (double speed)and it's more than enough for me.  I use my
200LX for several specialized comm applications, built-in database for
tracking service on 200+ transmitters and a few entertainment things as
well.  HV lurks on my palmtop as well as SkyGlobe and a bunch of
this2that.com programs.  I think I could actually get along with a 4 meg
unit but 8 is nice.  Most of the time I have between 1 and 3 meg free.

When Thaddeus says "used as good as new" by all the stars they are not
lying!  My "used" unit was not distinguishable from a new unit, I know
because my first 200LX was from Educalc, factory new.  BTW, my "old"
palmtop is 4 years old in February and my "new" one will be 2 that same
month.

If this will be your first 200LX, be sure you spring the cash for the
Palmtop Paper CD.  All the manuals are in there, most of the software
you have heard about around here, and additional stuff including the
last million issues of The Palmtop Paper.  I know this sounds like an
advertisement, but I am only a customer, I don't work for them.

Well... since the 200LX uses a software polling method to process
keystrokes, it's possible to type faster on a double-speed machine.  My
max speed on my 2x unit is around 70 wpm, but only about 35-40wpm on a
single-speed palmtop.

So I would probably recommend the double-speed upgrade even if the machine
will only be used for word processing.

I missed that one! In 1998, WinCE sales fell below the
revised LOWERED Estimate from 1997. The Total WINCE sales
fell slightly shorter than the initial sales estimates of
Hewlett-Packard alone!

Maybe I missed something fantastic that happened in the
WinCE arena, so please share the secret.

On the other hand, the sales of 200LX have actually
exceeded their 1997 level. I think this is goo. Do you?

I agree.  I've just migrated to the 700LX and I miss the large 32MB C:

I'll probably wind up hot-rodding this unit... if all goes well.

A few other questions for you Bill.

Can the 700LX fit in you back pocket? (less the phone)
Are you limited on which carrier company you use?
Is the rate reasonable?
How does battery life compare to your old unit?

Please let us know how the "hot-rodding" goes.  I'd
like to know how well it would work on the 700LX.  Especially
the double speed and how it would affect communications.

I've just bought Infoselect $99 Australian from the local supplier (also

DOS is a lot easier to use than V5 for Windows.

It's not satellite.

I _think_ it's a digital cellphone protocol called GSM, widely used everywhere
except in the US; a similar but incompatible (different RF frequencies)
protocol is ramping up in the US, often called PCS, e.g. Omnipoint in the NYC
area. I've heard that there's a compatible GSM operator in the Washington, DC
area, but that's it. Has this changed?

I'm using Pacific Bell as a carrier, with a Nokia 2190 phone.  Only
True GSM networks are capable with the 700LX.  It works great!  I
bought my unit used from Nick Marsh (thanks Nick!)

I have never seen the 700LX for sale from a vendor, so I don't know who
you could ask.

> Can the 700LX fit in you back pocket? (less the phone)

Not really.  The phone cradle makes it a bit too big.

> Are you limited on which carrier company you use?

Yes.  Only GSM networks will work.  In this area,(SF Bay) that's Pacific =
Bell.

> Is the rate reasonable?

I'm currently paying $74.95 for 500 weekday minutes and 500 weekend
minutes a month.  I think that will be sufficent.

> How does battery life compare to your old unit?

Dunno yet.  Just got it yesterday.

I believe there is a Nokia phone that will work in California and Nevada

is designed for, except it uses the US GSM frequencies).

I asked someone at HP about a successor for the OB 800 who told me "just
wait and see".  His tone implied, yes, and I'd like it.

Unfortunately, given HP's "me too" direction of late, I am afraid he
might be wrong ... that I will be disappointed. The OB800 with its
instant on, small form factor, and pop-out mouse still had a heritage of
HP innovation, originating in Corvallis and the OB 300 and HP 200.

Subject:      Com Port Power Question
Content-Type: text

I have a power question - I hope it hasn't already been addressed in a
FAQ somewhere - I searched the archives and several FAQs without luck.

What is the specified/typical/observed current limit from the serial
port on the HP200LX?  I'm interested in an external device that draws
a small amount of power from the computer's handshaking signals.  The
current draw should me mimimal, as it only goes to translate the signal
levels, but I haven't yet measured the draw.

I think I read a discussion on this topic a long while back, but as I say,
I can't find it in the archives.  If anyone has any good data on this
issue I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

-Chris Lott

PCS identifies the 1900MHz frequency used by the phones. GSM identifies
the digitial data format/protocol used. Thus the US does have a GSM =
network. It
is much more widely spread than you seem to think. I live in Alabama
and have a GSM phone. I have never had any trouble when roaming in
Washington DC, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida and Colorado.

I should take this opportunity to mention that Sagem of France have a
PCS GSM compatible phone with builtin modem and fax capabilities -
model no CS 755. The nice thing with this phone is that it just
appears as a normal fax modem to the palmtop and with no pcmcia card
required it does not draw power from the palmtops batteries. I am in
the process of ordering one.

I just acquired a second 1MB 200LX, and can now get one of them upgraded
with the speeded up clock and beefed up RAM, without finding myself without
my trusted companion for a while.
I know there are a few places offering speed and memory upgrades for the
200LX.  What is the general consensus on which route/supplier offers
the best quality/value?  Will such upgrades result in serious battery
life reduction, or other adverse effects?
Thanks much!

Gary:

Can you kep me informed how this goes?  I'm curious.  I'm in the process
of getting my Powertel Data service going - they haven't officially
announced it yet, and I'm working out some kinks in the system.  I have
an Ercisson CF-388 phone and a DC12 interface card that I got from a
list member.  I can do some simple things, but when I try to zmodem a
file or run www/lx for any extended time it hangs up.

Thanks,

-Chris Lott

So if 2 megabytes of storage is sufficient for what I envision, then 4 megs
should hold me for that plus whatever else comes up...for awhile at
least?

If I use a serial cable and my laptop, can I backup the files directly
without paying a great deal of money for a software package?  Are
shareware alternatives available?

Thanks for your advice.  I've bookmarked these sites for future investigation.

I'll have to let others answer about the quality of our reconditioned
units.  We do give you 30 days to return and can extend warranty to a
year ($25) or 2 ($75) from 90 days.
Manuals are not included and are an additional $15.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The manuals are an additional $15, eh?  That's not bad at all.  Now, if
you don't mind, a couple of questions.  What does the extended warranty
cover, and is the cost of labor included?

Thanks for the information,

David Ball

If you want a 32 or 64 meg doublespeed, Thaddeus is really your
only choice.

There's also Times 2 Tech.

Just found and bought a brandnew set of FW4 software still in the box, loaded
it on a notebook (making sure that video is cga) and transferred onto my pccard
and thence to the lx. it ran fine on the lx. went back to the notebook, fixed
the video driver to vga, and to my surprise, i kept getting a divide overflow
error. it seems fw4 cannot run on windows98. tried every setting i could
change, called in IT chaps from both my own organisation and our IBM facility
managers, nothing doing. anybody out there has come across this before and
licked it? grateful for any pointers ...

another funny thing is that frameworkIV does not seem to be able to recognise
my Kingston ATA-flash 64MB card. when running fw4, selecting the A: drive gives
a "Read error while trying to sync disk - retry? (y/n)", which repeats if i hit
"y" but opens the dirframe if i hit "n". i can get inside the frame, but
anything i try within (uplevel, downlevel, opendoc, etc) gives a "Operation
stopped - Previous disk seems to be removed (press Esc to continue), and the
frame disappears when Esc is hit. This card, bounteous tho it is in terms of
diskspace, does seem a little antisocial -- my win98 readily accepts the card
but refuses to assign a drive letter to it ... sigh!

I used the HP600C and the HP800CT for many years. When the latter started
showing its age, there is no obvious (ie deliberate) successor ... but I ended
up getting the Omnibook 4100. It's an excellent machine: Pentium II MMX 266
MHz, 32MB (->64MB one month later) RAM, 4GB Harddisk, 13.3 (or 14.1) 1024x768
Active Screen, CDROM etc etc ... check it out ... it's a bit heavier and larger
than the OB800 but the main issue is the larger screen size. I had a choice
then, and decided if I must move up to OB4100 or down to the Librettos, I gotta
go up !

Lt. Commander Boggs of the 75th battalion in Desert Fox had commissioned
his troops with HP WinCE palmtops after reading about the utility of the
95LX in the original Desert Storm of '91.  Radio communications, however,
had been lost with Boggs' battalion until early today, when they were found
marching into North Africa, just inside Egypt.  Apparently, the WinCE
palmtop GPS cards were plagued by a ROM bug in the MS OS that affects time
zone and long-lat displacement.  Reports indicate that the GPS signal is
processed by WinCE and guides all venturers to the nearest CE palmtop
store, regardless of desired destination.  And, apparently, the closest one
is in Cairo...

Oh yes. Sure sure.

It's a DOS PC. So you can run kermit on it in server mode. Or you can run the
Windows client of the Filer serial protocol you can get from HP. Or you can
use Zip. Or LapLink. Or I'm sure there are lots of other choices.

My favourite other choice is lxtools, I run that on my Linux or Solaris
workstation (moved, changed OSes, didn't have to change my tools at all,
joy!). I use a little script to recursively lxcopy all files with the archive
bit set to a mirror I keep on the workstation, then check the whole tree into
a CVS repository, so I keep a running mirror over time, and can reconstruct
the state of my LX at any point in time.

Then I run a little batch file on the LX to invoke "attrib" to strip that
archive bit off everything.

While I haven't done it myself, I do actively read all of the
comments about this process, and I think I can say that
Thaddeus (http://www.thaddeus.com) has an excellent reputation.

The reports on battery life have indicated that the modifications may,
if anything, improve battery life (later chips use lower power?)...
In any event, there don't seem to be *any* reports of a serious
decline in battery life.

I have (literally) no connection with them, by the way. I just follow
HPHAND stuff both here and on Compuserve.

Yup. And it says there across reboots. And it can even survive a deep reset
(when you reset with ctrl-shift-on, it asks whether or not to reinitialize the
ram disk).

What's more, unless you deliberately reboot (ctrl-alt-del, or the above deep
reset) the programs you have running stay right where they're at. It "goes to
sleep" and wakes up right where you left off. That's what makes it so
instantly useful as a working reference; you have your databases all loaded up
into the apps that they work with, and hot-switch between them.

The thing is, though, it _is_ DOS; if you play with programs you download,
you'll find some that are buggy and end up crashing the machine, or corrupting
the filesystem. And batteries sometimes fail. Backups are especially critical
because this is such a _Useful_ tool, you get really dependant on it.

I don't think there is one. Mack Baggette at Times2 TechÝ1¨ was as far as I
know the first person offering upgrades in the US, and has been doing so
continuously since, and I've never heard anyone say anything bad about him or
his work. I've also heard good things about Thaddeus.

> Will such upgrades result in serious battery life reduction, or other

Nope. People who test very carefully report a slight battery life reduction,
maybe. It's not noticeable. You do need a special driver on a clock-doubled
palmtop, but that's no big deal; it works well enough without the driver to
load the driver, so you _can_ get there from here:-).

I have the same problem running FW4 on NT 4.0 (installed about 3 weeks
ago), but after several tries (2-15), it eventually comes up.

I haven't had the time to investigate yet, but I suspect there's a simple
solution somewhere, and maybe for you too.

Your problem with FW4 and the A drive (flashcard) is simpler still. FW is
old enough that it always thinks A is a floppy drive. Switch your Filer
display to E: (assuming you normally have the "assign e:=a:" activated in
the autoexec.bat) and you shouldn't have any problems. If you have the DOS
SUBST command, that's even better than ASSIGN, since it takes up less
memory as a TSR (read none) compared to ASSIGN.

Any added copies of FW4 from your source? And how much was it?

Subject:  Framework IV




Just found and bought a brandnew set of FW4 software still in the box,
loaded
it on a notebook (making sure that video is cga) and transferred onto my
pccard
and thence to the lx. it ran fine on the lx. went back to the notebook,
fixed
the video driver to vga, and to my surprise, i kept getting a divide
overflow
error. it seems fw4 cannot run on windows98. tried every setting i could
change, called in IT chaps from both my own organisation and our IBM
facility
managers, nothing doing. anybody out there has come across this before and
licked it? grateful for any pointers ...

another funny thing is that frameworkIV does not seem to be able to
recognise
my Kingston ATA-flash 64MB card. when running fw4, selecting the A: drive
gives
a "Read error while trying to sync disk - retry? (y/n)", which repeats if i
hit
"y" but opens the dirframe if i hit "n". i can get inside the frame, but
anything i try within (uplevel, downlevel, opendoc, etc) gives a "Operation
stopped - Previous disk seems to be removed (press Esc to continue), and
the
frame disappears when Esc is hit. This card, bounteous tho it is in terms
of
diskspace, does seem a little antisocial -- my win98 readily accepts the
card
but refuses to assign a drive letter to it ... sigh!

I've only had the 6mb doublespeed upgrade, and I'll have to say that
battery life is markedly lower, and I believe the T2T website explains that
most of that comes from the speed upgrade (at least a 25% reduction in
battery life)...at least that was the case a year ago.

Don't know if they've made any improvements in the upgrades since then, but
I'd check with them before making the upgrades if battery life is a
consideration. The other side of the coin is that increasing the memory to
32/64mb means tossing the flashcard which is a main energy hog, so that may
buy back some battery life for you.

While I haven't done it myself, I do actively read all of the
comments about this process, and I think I can say that
Thaddeus (http://www.thaddeus.com) has an excellent reputation.

The reports on battery life have indicated that the modifications may,
if anything, improve battery life (later chips use lower power?)...
In any event, there don't seem to be *any* reports of a serious
decline in battery life.

I have (literally) no connection with them, by the way. I just follow
HPHAND stuff both here and on Compuserve.

I would say so (subject to your ambitions).  The text editor is built into
the ROM and takes up no space from that 4 MB, so your major consideration is
for how you read mail and how much of it and other texts you store locally
to the palmtop (but consider, the entire text of Moby Dick takes only
1,214,678 bytes on mine).  If you're writing long novels on it then you may
feel a bit cramped :-).

Yes, your best bets are:

1. TransFile Win 200 (free, found at
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/handheld_computers/software/tf103.exe, very easy to
create and restore complete backups but not as good at preserving original
file time/date information when manipulating individual files) and

2. LapLink Remote Access (included in the palmtop's ROM in D:\BIN, requires
you to have some other file and directory management tools).

If you spend for the HP Connectivity Kit (Thaddeus has them new for $119.95)
you will get some advantages for running the applications on the laptop and
converting between file formats.

The HP Connectivity Kit includes the special serial cable, but they are also
available separately (Thaddeus has them new for $24.95).

I just picked up an earlyish 1 meg 200LX and am slowly bringing myself up
to speed with it (flash card in transit and all that...)

Anyway, I was wondering if (after memory upgrade, I know it's hopeless
right now) I would be able to use QEMM/Desqview.  The manual says that
it'll work on an 8086 with CGA, but what I've gathered from the LX FAQs is
that the memory managment is probably the least compatible part of the
machine.  Has anyone tried this?  How did it work?

Great! Glad to hear everything is OK. GSM is growing in the US but the
nearest city to me was Colombus, OH which was too far away to be useful.

I wish the 700lX would have worked with the Nokia 2160i phone, then I
could have
used it here. Does the 700lx feel slightly faster than the 200lx or was
that just
my imagination?

It works fine on my 2X 200LX.  I didn't have to do anything

this has been asked before, and i don't recall much discussion on the
subject.

basically, qemm won't work, don't bother trying.  the lx doesn't have the
hardware capabilities to support it in any mode.

desqview will work, but you're limited to available conventional ram for
multitasking (the ems drivers available for the lx might extend that,
but i've never tried them).  you'll also lose some of the extra
functionality provided by qemm (most notibly, qemm allows desqview to
"trap" direct screen writes, without qemm, any program running in the
background that uses direct screen writes will bleed through the foreground
program).

when you run out of ram, dv will suspend a program and swap it do disk,
so it's also useful as a taskswitcher.

you'll probably get about 450k ram available for active programs, to
give you an idea of what you have to work with.

if you or anyone else uses one of the ems drivers for the hp, i'd love to
hear of your experiences with desqview.  maybe i'll get around to it and
post to the list, but i'm short on time :p

I'm using an OmniGo 700LX, not a 200LX.  The OmniGo 700LX is like a 200LX
with a "bulge" on it's back to accomodate a Nokia 21xx series phone.  The
phone is digital, GSM.  I think you could accomplish something similar by
using your StarTac and a compatible GSM modem (like the TDK card).

Would it be a really major project to write a replacement program for Memo
that would have advanced features like import/export filters, italics,
faster saving, better scrolling, spell checking, etc. while still being a
System Manager compliant program and keeping all of the nifty Memo
features?

Right now I'm using WordPerfect 5.1, and while it's a great program, I'd
prefer something that was SysMan compliant...

I will say the most urgent is to have an utility witch give you
the possibility to open and save directly an RTF file.
But, my real wich would be to have a EXM relational database.
We could buy the source code of Framework and translate it to an EXM prog
:)

Hi Bob & List

I dont know what version of stacker you are using but most Dont work with
win 95/98. I found the easiest way to go for Compressed card was JAM. This
does work with win 95 and I presume 98.

I have my C: Jammed as well as my 10Meg card. 8 Meg machine.... This gives
me over 40 Meg combined 7.6 Meg Jam file on C: and 10 Meg on the card. Iuse the
JMax util to recompress once a week.

To use the card in my laptop I can pull the card and swap it as I used to
with dos/wfwg311 under stacker.

If you insist on Stacker 3/4 then it WILL work under win 95 if you use DOS
PCMCIA drivers for your PC card slots. ie Remove 32 bit drivers and install
DOS drivers in Config.sys.  I found too many conflicts when installing new
cards. If you only have your flash cards this may be a way to go. I dont
know if this is an option under win98.

I hope this helps

Hi Yves

Jam will work if you put Jam.sys in your config.sys. It is a DOS driver so
slows the system. I have multi configs that I use for DOS drivers when I
need them and a "clean" win95 one for fastest operations.

If you copy xxx.jam to an UNcompressed hard disk on your laptop it is a
great way to backup.. ie 10MB card = 20+meg of progs accessable under win95
from the HD. If you use drivespace or Doublespace you have to go only from
the flashcard.

i usually just pop the card into my laptop under win95 and jam driver. If
I'm in a hurry and just want backup I dont worry about powering down and
rebooting..to install the Jam driver...
just copy the Jam file and do it another time if needed.

All this is in the Jam Docs  :)

Subject:      Thaddeus Memory Upgrades?
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hi all!  I am about to send in my 200LX in for a 8MB double speed
or a 32MB double speed upgrade fromThaddeus as a Christmas
present to myself. :)  However, I have a couple questions.  When
reading about the TechRAM upgrade I came across this text...

The 8MB upgrades give you 8MBs total and does not add
to what you currently have. The 32/64MB upgrades create
a separate 32/64MB drive and leaves your original C: drive
space as it was other than original 4MB palmtops which will
have a 2MB C: drive after installation of the 32/64MB upgrade.

So, heres my question.  I have a 2MB 200LX.  It is obvious if
I get the 8MB upgrade I will have 8MB total, and it sounds as
tho I will have a 2MB C: drive and another 32MB drive if I get
the 32MB upgrade, however I happen to know that some of
the 2MB LX's have 2MB on the board and some have 1MB on
the board and a 1MB daughterboard.  Would this mean that
some 2MB LX's upgrade to 1MB C: and another 32MB drive
and others upgrade to 2MB C: and another 32MB drive???

I know that 1MB doesn't seem like much difference when you
have 30+ MB, but I was just wondering.  Thanks!

Thanks. My usual observation is that "the longer I take to figure out the
solution, the simpler it turns out to be, the more obvious it should have been,
and the harder I try to kick my own rear end".  Jason's Law. Hope the corollary
(simple/obvious solutions are harder to discover) isn't true in this case!

Thanks! Had taken out the assign command earlier cos didn't have a use for it.
Do now.

I bought it for $160 from Challenger SuperStore in Funan Centre in Singapore. I
think they are just clearing stock. I saw two copies perhaps a year ago,
dithered and couldn't find them later cos the store shifted everything around,
asked the store people and they just scratch their heads ... "Framework, donno,
where got Framework?" (that's Singlish), then found just the one copy.

Thanks for the offer of the utility. I accept. I had kinda accepted the LX's
way for in/out (ÝMenu+¨ and ÝMenu-¨) but direct/easier keystrokes would be
better. Is your utility a TSR or written in FRED (just thinking that using
keyfilter in Library could do the job).
Longden's tip on assign/subst already implemented.

Yes, I am also curious. Especially (to answer Andrew's question) as the
only source for the phone appears to be direct from Sagem in France.
The phone appears to be a very new product. I am awaiting instructions
on how to pay for it. I will post full details once everything is
complete and I have verified it works as advertised ;-)

As you may remember, I am also a Powertel subscriber. My interest in
this phone was because I had been told that data was operational. Glad
you'll have ironed out the bugs by the time the phone arrives<G>. What
do you think of the wireless experts Powertel have hired - I was
not impressed during my conversations with them.

Interesting that FW4 gets a "Divide Overflow" message in both NT and
Win98, but not in Win95 nor Win 3.x. I've diddled with a couple of
settings in NT, but maybe there's something I'm still missing.

FW4 is just a big DOS app. I wonder if this happens to any other DOS app
in NT or Win98.

Anyone in this list group with enough experience in NT/Win98 to make a
recommendation (short of giving up on the desktop <g> )?

Just wondering if any of the OG700 owners out there use the
"SmartCharge" program that comes with the palmtop.  I have run ABC/LX
on my ol' 200LX, and I'm trying to figure out which program is more
effective.

Thanks,

Check out my DOSShell webpage, http://sac.uky.edu/~wally/dosshell.html

It gives all the information you need to install and use DOSShell on the
palmtop.  Installation is around 150K and a 2M machine is a minimum to use it
effectively.  It works rather well, however.  Used it until I was given
Software Carousel by a friend who no longer owned an LX machine after his was
stolen.

Chris,

Sorry I can't give the exact mA current but can confirm there is
enough to run most of the serial line powered devices.
Personally I run the Tigertronics BP-2M packet modem direct from
my HP200LX and have no problems (mind you I think that only draw
about 2mA). I also run a home made RS232 to TTY converter, again
with no problems.

Best regards

I just got the 32 meg upgrade... and I have a 1.4 meg F: drive (thats 2 meg
minus 640k for Dos) and a 32 meg c: drive.

As for choosing between the 8 and the 32 meg upgrade... I always say buy as much
as you can afford. In addition the cost per meg goes way down between the 8 meg
and the 32 meg upgrade... i.e.
$159/8meg = $20 per meg
$395/32meg = $12 per meg
(numbers rounded of course!)

I just got the new issue of the Palmtop Paper(PTP)... it's a regular software
bonanza. They list ~75 dos programs many of which sound really interesting.

If finding or using dos programs sounds good to you... be sure to grab your copy
of the current PTP.

Mike...

P.S. The first two I'm downloading are DataPerfect & Lotus Agenda... :-)

P.P.S. BTW, I'm not affiliated with the PTP or Thaddeus in any way... I just
enjoy using my PC's and finding hidden treasure... (i.e. Good Dos programs)

P.P.P.S. Does anyone know of any hidden treasure?????

Hi, Gary.  This sounds interesting.  Can you tell me a bit
more about this phone and cel service?  Do you know how well
it is represented in the New York/New Jersey area?  Which
cellular carrier handles this?  I suspect it is too expensive
for me, but I would like to check it out.  Thanks.

I don't have access to Compuserve Forums... and this is where the program
"DataPerfect" is located, which the PTP talks about.

Are there any compuserve users out there, and would they be willing to download
DataPerfect and email it to me to my email address on my home PC?
The forum is WPUSER

You may want to contact Thomas Rundel @ Rundel
Datentechnik
www.rundel-d.com in Germany, as they currently sell
Sagem phones and many other palmtop related products (I
think they have also good business relations with
Thaddeus).

Subject:      Appointment Book Corruption
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I have recently suffered some corruption of my Appointment Book data, and in
the process of recovering the situation have established the following facts
about the Appointment Book which may be of some interest:

a) Get in the habit of reducing the size of the Appointment Book file by
removing old data via the Menu - File - Remove option.

b) With corrupt files, it is sometimes possible to read them on PC version
of Appointment Book, but not on the Palmtop. This can be used to recover
some failures. To do this load the corrupt file in the PC version of
Appointment Book then use the Menu - File - Extract option to save all data
to a new (and hopefully non-corrupt) file which can then be copied back to
the Palmtop. As an extra precaution at the Palmtop end, close the
Appointment Book application then rename the working appointment book file.
Reopen the Appointment Book application which will create a default APPT.ADB
in C:\_DAT and then merge in the non-corrupt version from the PC into this
empty Appointment Book. This may still not work completely, but it does
solve some problems.

c) Repeating items which are deleted when complete build up a large entry in
the appointment book database, as data on each deleted item is still
retained. For example, I have several weekly repeating ToDos where I delete
the "One Occurrence" once completed. I believe this may have been the cause
of some corruption in my case. To clear out this redundant data, it is best
to regularly reset the repeating item start date to a more recent date, this
removes the previously deleted item data. Removing items by date via the
Menu - File - Remove option does do this.

d) I struggled with the ADBDUMP/ADBLOAD utility (V1.2) in the hope of
extracting data from my corrupt Appointment Book, and merging back into a
new empty Appointment Book to create a clean file. The ADBLOAD function
seems to work OK, giving textual or CSV listings of my Appointment Book, but
I was never able to merge the new ADB file created by ADBLOAD back into the
Appointment Book. I believe someone else on the list had similar problems
recently, has anyone actually got this to work?

e) I tried GARLIC as a last resort but this made the situation much worse,
rendering the resultant fixed file unusable.

Note that theres a class of alternatives of the form:
   159/8meg + 159/40Meg SimpleTechCard = 318/48meg = <$7 per meg

This approach has the advantage that the memory can be used in other
systems, and can be used for direct file transfer as well...

Robert,

Funny thing, I just happen to be doing the same exact thing.  I just =
bought a 200LX-1 meg from a posting I found on comp.sys.palmtops, that I =
plan on upgrading, because I have a HP extended warranty on my existing =
palmtop.  It happened to be an HP employee that works in the calculator =
division that bought it years ago and never used it.

I currently own a 200LX-4 meg, that I use with 2-40 meg simple tech flash =
cards.  I keep my "C" drive as lean as possible, and store all the none =
daily used programs on my flash cards.  I run with about 2.2 meg free on =
my "C" drive.  The only time I have ever ran out of space on my "C" drive =
is when I attempted to down load some file that was larger than the space =
I had available on my "C" drive.  I could have easily have downloaded =
this file at home on my laptop or desktop computer, rather than try to =
download it at work from my palmtop.


I do own a DobuleSlot, but unfortuniatly it is not compatable with the =
APEX 56k modem that I am using, so I can't use the flash card and the =
modem at the same time.  I did contact APEX but their answer was for some =
reason some modems have a conflict when you try to use the modem & flash =
card at the same time through the DoubleSlot.

So realistically I have never ran out of room on my 4 meg unit, due to =
having plently of storage on my flash cards.  So, my plans are to send in =
my used 1 meg I just bought to Thaddeus and have it upgraded to a 8 meg =
double speed.  This is the minimum ram upgrade they offer.  I had planned =
on spending a certain amount for this upgrade, then a while back I read a =
posting from Hal at Thaddeus that the upgrades were going to drop in =
price in the near future.  Well as my luck usally doesn't have it, I just =
called Thaddeus and talked to Sandy and she informed me that the 8 meg =
double speed upgrade just dropped from $299 to $159.

So I am going to send away for that in the next day or so.  Also I am =
going to buy their extended warranty and upgrade the included 90 day =
warranty to 2 years for $75.  The price of this is quite a good deal.

Also you mentioned in your posting that you were curious how the uprade =
affects battery life.  Well reading many discussions on how upgrades & =
flash cards affect battery life, they do put an extra load on battery =
life, but for me that has not ever been an issue, nor will it ever be an =
issue.  The reason being that I use NI-MH batteries in my 4 meg unit & =
use ABC-LX to constantly keep them charged while I sit at my desk all day =
at work, so I have never, since I changed to the rechargables, gotten a =
low battery alert.

Good luck on your upgrade & Happy Holidays!

Yes.  I use PalEdit.  But, PalEdit is not an EXM, it's a PAL program, so
it's not System Manager compliant.  Also, it's not a word processor, it's
a text editor, which means there are no special features like fonts, etc.

Of course, if Andreas would make a PAL word processor, that would probably
be just as good as an EXM program.

You are sure you tried to _merge_ and not to _load_ that database?

I've merged them on several occasions, but they aren't loadable.

I'd add one more note: this category of problem --- creeping corruption in
proprietary-format binary databases --- is why I'm a wildly keen fan of
keeping a historical archive for my backups. Daily or oftener I mirror
(incremental, using lxcopy) to my workstation, and after every update I check
the mirror in to CVS, giving me a record so I can go back in time and recover
files as they were at any point in the past.

I think your "a" should be backup your palmtop regulary.  I personally =

times, you probibly would be one of use who do backup often.

I've had similar experiences with Garlic, which sometimes leaves the
patient dead on the table. It can also be asked to display debugging
information, which is somewhat difficult to read if someone needs to know
(in plain English), what's wrong with their @#$@ database.

What we need is someone with the time and .?DB know-how to write a
diagnostic program that'll scan a .?DB and log potential problems (messed
up pointers, missing data items, etc). A diagnostic program would "read
only" to optimize performance, and leave fixes to the user. Presumably, if
the program catches errors early enough, a simple fix (restore from backup
or deleting a suspect record) is possible.

Run as a nightly item, a program like this would alert us to when there's a
crack in the dam, instead of finding out when we're miles downstream.

If all runs fine, there's no message.

The problem, of course, is that there's no money in it <g>. But consider
the benefits of good-will from your fellow LX-breathren, not to mention the
attractiveness of working on a DB standard that's both static and whose
integrity is essential to us.

You really can't compare prices on a per MB basis when talking upgrades
versus flash.  The problem with this comparison is that you don't see the
benefits of an internal upgrade which can greatly outweight the benefits of
flash for some folks.

1) The memory upgrades are internal and do not take up the PCMCIA slot.

2) They use much less power to read and write to.

3) They allow you to create large amounts of EMM for programs that can
utilize EMM.

Another thing to keep in mind is that there are extra costs involved with
having to install the upgrades, as well as cover warranty issues, and they
are not a mass produced product being only produced to work for the 200LX.
This makes it an even worse comparison for flash being that it is mass
produced and doesn't require installation.

Just thought I would throw these points out even though I am quite biased of
course. :-)

Mack

One other thing I left out was that the memory upgrades are much faster than
flash, especially the 32 & 64MB upgrades, which happen to be much faster
than the original C: drive as well.

Of course it's not all a question of bytes/dollar.

With a large internal memory, you don't take the hit on battery life that
flash cards inflict on you, and read/write operations should be noticeably
faster.

Also, your slot is freed, so you can potentially keep your modem card in
there all the time, as an alternative to carrying it separately.

That being said, I still only have a 6mb/2x unit with a 40mb flash. Big
dreams, small pockets... :(

Came across this on the Omnibook list archives from someone who was =

to leave it. Sort of sounds like the LX-List, no?

Wow. I must have gotten about ten replies to my remarks about leaving =
the
Omnilist and about HP's recent OmniBooks.
And what do you know? They're all interesting, well-reasoned intelligent
messages that make me feel in such good company that I don't *want* to
unsubscribe. They also helped convince me that my OB 425 is something
special, and that I'm not ready to give up on it totally. (So to all who
asked, sorry, but I'm holding onto my spare parts for now. If that =
changes,
I'll let everyone know.)
It seems that you Omnibook owners are a cut above. I don't say that =
because
almost everybody agreed with *me* that HP never should've abandoned the
original, battery-sipping OB concept -- though everyone who has a 600C =
seems
to like it -- but just because people who are enthusiastically,
intelligently involved with their computers are rare. At least in the
DOS/Windows world. I think I want to get my machine working again just
because I'd be proud to be an Omnibook owner. (But then I am a guy who =
once
happily owned a Citroen 2CV, so I'm definitely a minmalist of sorts.)
The question now is, is there any sort of OmniBook club, or, better =
still, a
web page, that collects the kind of information we've intermittently =
traded
back and forth? It should have the specs on the models, original HP =
press
releases, BIOS rev information, accessories, you name it ... if one gets
started, I'll rip apart my non-working 300 and contribute scans of the
innards to all who've wanted a look inside. Etc. etc.

Fri, 18 Dec 1998 11:19:44 -0500 (EST)

Hi gang-

Here's some more info for those folks who're playing around with
X-Finder.  You may already know most or all of this...

The GoTo function includes a history list.  After hitting F5 (GoTo),
you can use the up and down arrows to scroll through a list of
directories you've visited.  The top screen is listed as \Palmtop.
Selecting anything on the list and hitting ÝEnter¨ takes you there - no
need to backtrack thru higher directories.

Read-only files are indicated by underlined filenames.  Hidden files
can be included by doing ÝMenu¨-View-Hidden.

Archives (.lzh & .zip) are treated pretty much as directories.  Copy,
Move, Rename, and Delete are completely transparent.  Files must be
marked to use Copy or Move.  However, you can't edit icons inside
archives...

If you like to customize your icons, the default icons for drives,
directories and files are in icon.lzh
        Drives =3D dsk.icn
        Directories =3D folder.icn
        Files =3D file.icn
Other icons can also be shown for files & directories.  File icons go
in icon.lzh and directory icons go in iconfld.lzh   Each directory and
subdirectory screen has a "view up" icon (viewup.icn in iconfld.lzh).
To add or change icons, you can use LHA from the command line with the
-z option to stop compression (icons are in UNCOMPRESSED .lzh files).
Or you can simply use X-finder's ability to treat archives as
directories.  Select the icon(s) you want to add, mark them (spacebar),
and hit F2 (copy) and select the right archive.

One bit of weirdness - When I looked inside the X-finder.zip archive,
then into one of the icon .lzh archives within it, that worked fine
until backing out using either ÝEsc¨ or ViewUp.  Instead of returning
to a view of the .zip archive, it started the Zip file transfer program
in a MaxDOS session.  Ctrl-Break got out with no problem...  Go figure.

Enough for now.  Maybe more info later.

I could easily find the time for something like this, but (and this is a
big but) I do not have any of the skills required for this thing.  Ok,
you are asking yourself, 'why did this nut post this?'... my reason is
one of encouragement to the "can-do" members of the list.  It seems to
me that people who have the skills to create software are also the ones
who have the least time to do so, at least to do so as a side activity.
If you people who can do these things, write software, can find a way to
tap the time of us, those who can't but would benefit from, please ask!
I have the developer's kit and The Palmtop Paper CD,
I'm armed with the reference materials and the time... but no skills!

Subject:      Acrobat, Multimedia extensions, plwav bug, flame the fluff.

        Hello all,

    Whoever posted that fluff about HP 200LX being used in Operation
    Desert Fox, that was not fun. Not even WinCE parts.
    Consider it a public service, that I DON't post my considerations
    on using palmtops under and after WWIII here.

    I hope someone finds the bug in either the speaker WAV player
    PLWAV_A4 or the HPLX hardware, that causes system clock reset
    to August of 2009 whenever the program is run. If so, please do
    report here as well. Until then, just look at this bug as a proof
    of Y2K compliance of the 200LX palmtop.   8-)

    Do you use command line Acrobat/PDF to TXT converter/stripper
    utilities? Those I have found were all 386 and up. But C source
    code of the Unix utility is public. Sorrowfully this unnecessary
    and fat document format gets increasingly popular. A big shame,
    but network oriented HPLX users must follow suit some time.

    Those happy Windows 3.0 users: Have you installed Multimedia
    Extensions for Windows 3.0 onto your system? At least speaker
    WAV driver should be usable. And a driver for convenient use of
    the japanese voice input device for HPLX via the sound recorder
    is certainly a nice project to do.

                    Sincerely: Tamas Feher.

Quite some time ago I installed Puma's Intellisync for the 200lx, which took
over the alt-filer key combination.  Now, this sounds (is!) stupid, but how
do I deinstall Intellisync and get alt-filer back for the built-in LapLink
Remote?  The Intellisync manual says nothing about a deinstall ...

Thanks!

I have a question about these two.

I use Software carousel to run three different programs, since it takes
too long to unload my billing software and to load the report writer,
then reverse the process. Without software carousel, I would have to do
it numerous times - impossible.

I would like to load ABC in only one virtual palmtop, as opposed to
all: memory considerations. Does anyone know of any ill effects from this?

I am a long time user of Norton Commander both on my desktop and also on

(with which I am not familiar) on the HPLX.  I am intrigued by
StereoShell's allegedly small memory usage and wonder if anyone who is

weaknesses for use on the HP.

Is this discussion dead already?

I have the same problem with my 4 Meg/5 volts linear flash card by Atmel
(which has a hardware-write-protection, too), and can't get it to run with
the M-SYS driver, either.

It normally (not always) reports that there is no TrueFFS card on drive a:.
Sometimes it just crashes the system (CtrlAltDel ceases to work).

Wasn't there talk about a ms-flash.sys for such cards? Where can I get that
driver?

Help! I bought two of these cards, and now they don't work...

I haven't tried the Stereo Shell, but you should keep in mind that the
"Volkov Commander" (avail SUPER) is a small and fast NC-clone that works
very well on the LX. Its memory requirements are 155kb according to the
documentation. The program itself is very small, programmed fully in
assembler.

Hi, LXers,

Despite using the HP LX 200 for many years I find that I still keep a lot
of my
information in the traditional form - card files, scraps of note paper, etc.
which I generally can not find when I need the information the most. This is
mainly because it is a chore to enter the information on the HP with my 2
finger typing skills.

Is there an elegant way by which my secretary can enter this information on
her
PC and I can then merge it into my HP LX? Has any one any other suggestions
for
this?

Cheers!

Anand Rao.

Sure. Either a serial cable or a Flash Card would likely make it
easy. Moving files back and forth is simple, and you can quite
likely even use the same software both places (if it isn't Windows
based). If the files are ASCII things will probably be particularly
easy.

Hi!

I add my students' info to my 200LX via my desktop.   I use Word and save it
as a DOS text file.  I then either put my PCMCIA card into my laptop or use my
remote floppy and transfer to the 200LX.  Sometimes I have some extra lines of
hieroglyphics that I delete on my palmtop.   Works for me.

Are you saying that the Volkov Commander has a smaller memory footprint

Volkov Commander needs 155kb to start, but only uses ~90kb when actually
running (measured using LXpro's memory-free display). When running a
program from VC, it can either run the program as is, or swap parts of
itself out of memory first. When not swapping, VC eats roughly the
aforementioned 80-90kb. When swapping it only uses 16kb. Swapping does not
create a distinguishable delay on my single speed LX (with everything
running from drive C)

Depends on the version of NC, obviously ;-) I don't know about v3.0 and
below, but I'm pretty sure it is smaller than v4.0 and above. Mind you, it
doesn't have all the features of v4.0, the most significant one being the
lack of the ability to treat archives (ZIP, ARJ, etc) as directories (this
may actually be the only significant one). There is a version 5 of VC in
the works, that these features (better than NC in fact), but as it is
still in alpha/beta test, I haven't tried on the LX and not very much on
the desktop either, in fact.

The reason I chose VC over NC on the palmtop is that the program is much
smaller. the VC executable is just 64kb and with the setup program, help
file (another 64kb), etc., the total package is just 180kb. Mind you this
is _without_ any fileviewers or editors, bar the built-in ones. Even so it
is quite small.



Must go now, it's late...

Laust

I used to transfer information back and forth via fist cable, then
PCMCIA card. But I was eventually able to get rid first of secretary
then of the desktop PC. Ah, freedom...

QuickLX from DASOFT will make text entry much easier.

Sure guy;

Get the connectivity pack which will put the same
data base as the LX on to the PC.  Secy enters the
info, then upload to the LX. simple as eby :)

If they're two differnt files, just merge.  Simple as dpw.

I have experienced a similar problem with FW4 under Windows 95.
The error message seems to relate to a lack of available Dos memory. FW4
requires around 560K.
By closing any other windows apps, loading some drivers high I have been
able to get about 580k free and have set the memory setting by editing the
PIF file, to 580k. This enables FW4 to run OK 95% of the time.

Sometimes FW4 will not load, but repeating the command will enable it to load.

The latest versions of FW, FW5 & 6 supposedly run under Win 95 & 98 but
cost is a problem and I have not read/heard of any reviews or comments from
users, see

Hope this helps

The effects of loading ABC in a SC session are that it's
activities will be limited to functioning only when you are in
that session.  So, the timers will only run when you are in
that session.  The automatic starting and stoping of charging
will only happen while you are in that session.  You can only
adjust parameters and see the graph of charging while in that
session.  In short, it is not recommend to load ABCTSR in a SC
session.  No harm will be done, but you certainly lose almost
all of the functionality of ABC.

The TSR portion of ABC only takes up a very small piece of
memory (something like 2.5k).  I don't think it will be a real
problem to load the ABCTSR before running SC.  Perhaps there
is some other stuff you can tune of your CONFIG.SYS and/or
AUTOEXEC.BAT files or other programs/TSR's you can move down
into a SC session instead of ABC.

The original poster may have intended to set aside dedicated application
sessions that need as much ram as they can get, and a "neutral" session
would be the ABC/day-to-day stuff that normally serves as "home-base".

If that were the case, he'd certainly lose most of the benefits you
described, but could still get the benefits of automatic charging, which is
usually the most troublesome part of living with rechargeables anyway. He'd
just have to remember to leave his LX in the home-base config most of the
time...or at least when plugging into a charger for the night.

Too bad SC eats up so much RAM on its own.

Rusell,

When Win95 comes to install JAM.SYS, JAM reports "Incorrect DOS version" and
that it needs DOS 3.30-6.00 or DR Dos 6 or Novell DOS 7.00 and then refuses
to load.

I tried to run SETVER on JAM.SYS to have the system report DOS 5.00 to it
but with no success. Can you walk me through the process to have a JAM
volume recognized under WIN95. I would very much prefer to run JMAX from my
Libretto 50CT rather than on the HPLX.

Could it have something to do with the fact that you have upgraded from DOS
6.00 to Win95 while the Libretto comes with Win95 pre-installed and no
underlying DOS version ?

Thanks,

Yves

I have a programming skills to create such a program, and a vested interest
as I was the original poster of this thread having suffered data corruption,
unfortunately time is scarce. However, if someone can point me in the
direction of a definition of the format of the Appointment Book file, if I
find myself with nothing better to do over the Christmas period... well you
never know.

I know the ADBIO contains source code, but as I have had little success with
this program, it must be lacking something, so a better definition of the
file format would be useful. Does the Developer Kit or Palmtop paper CD
contain the necessary info, Phil?

I also automatically backup nightly to my flash card, and then each week  to
my desktop PC but I do not rename the file to create a new file each night.
As I did not notice the corruption for a couple of days, I only had a week
old backup to go back to which was too old to be much use. What scheme do
you use to name your Appointment Book files each night?

Yes, I definitely tried to merge into a new empty appointment book.

This is my thinking and I am currently trying to create a scheme on the
Palmtop which will generate a uniquely named copy of the Appointment Book
each day so that I can go back to earlier versions. In the corruption
situation I recently suffered, I unfortunately did not discover the problem
until a couple of days after it occurred, by which time my automatically
created nightly backups had ensured that any working versions had been
overwritten.

I'm a little embarrassed to ask this favor, but I'm away from my desktop
for the holidays, and need Norton Disk Doctor.  I'm registered for the
version that came out in 1992, and if someone has it and could "loan" it to
me, I would really appreciate it.  I promise to delete it as soon as I'm
back in the office.

Also, a shareware substitution (advice) would also be appreciated.

My vote would go to Infoselect for DOS 2.0 on your palmtop - and also
on the desktop for your secretary to do the keyboarding.   The first
windows version was compatible for sharing data back and forth, but
newer versions do a conversion when opening a stack (file) which makes
the data a one way trip to the Windows  version.  The program is
easily learned and searches are quick.  For random data you need to
retrieve easily I haven't found anything else that works for me as
well as Infoselect.

Another possibility is Lotus Agenda 2.0 tougher to learn to use -
slower running on the 200LX - but it's free and Infoselect is about
$50 a copy.  Agenda is more powerful in manipulating your information
- automatically sending items to views based on content or some other
criteria you specify, but if you are like me, you just want to be able
to find the note you wrote to yourself about xyz and Infoselect does
this kind of thing painlessly.

There are shareware and freeware programs I have tried and not liked
as well - Usefull Notes - Scraps - Flexpad were some of the better
ones I can remember trying.  Others may be using these and can tell
you how they like them.

I was using my HP100LX a couple of days ago and found a screw on my desk.

I turned the unit over and found I missing one screw and two feet. I guess
I may also have some screws loose <g> (sorry but I could not resist).

Does anyone have an extra screw and/or feet available that you could send me?

Alan

I like the idea of a program to scan databases looking for
problems.  I might give it a try but first I'd need a
description of the internal format.  Is that available anywhere?

Have you really managed to get rid of your desktop PC entirely, and
accomplish all your computing needs with the HPLX-200?  If so, I'd be
greatly interested in hearing how you (and any others who've managed
to do this, or almost do this) use your HPLX in business/everyday life.
As I'm going to be acquiring one soon, this information is greatly
interesting to me.

I recently had the same experience.  I called HP Customer Service
(1-970-635-1000) and for $16 they sent me the maintenance kit within
48 hours.  It includes spare screws, feet, hinge caps, battery covers,
and IR port covers.  Well worth the money.

Cut a small piece of rubber band and wedge it behind
the latch in the lid.  It's really not all that bad.

I don't know. Yet. I spend 99% of my time on the 200lx, so have not felt the
need to integrate the two, but that will change when I get a laptop - which
I need to run Medical Director. I'll let you know.

Ditto for me, except I used two pieces, for balance. Each was about 1/4"
long or so, folded and propped in place with a knife blade.

Hello,

I have 200LX with s/n: SG53200464.

What is the right crystal for doubling the speed of the machine?

What kind of DIY memory upgrades there is for 200LX? I have
heard about 2MB and 5MB upgrades?

I'm not interested in commersial upgrades because they would=20
cost too much (I live in Finland) and I'm used soldering iron
many years at work.

You will get 2MB.

Well, I feel that a big PC is needed only when it's drawbacks become
features. I.e. big screen for graphic artists or for bad vision,
Windows for some specialized software, big keyboard for touch typists
why also type a lot, addiction to WEB graphics, multimedia., etc. Most
of these things are not really needed for many people.

So, like most, I need to keep track of people and stuff, communicate
via fax & email, and sell some skills to make a living. All of this
can be easily accomplished with a palmtop and built in or commercial
software. As far as specialized work is concerned (I am a physician), I
do my billing with a commercial program which is called EZ-bill (for a
reason), and submit billings via modem. This can be done with any
computer. And I wrote my own report writer (since I am a consultant and
I kill trees on a daily basis) in dBase. Software Carousel allows one to
keep all those things running at the same time.

And what about telephone and answering calls? And messages? That's
probably outside of this lists scope. All I can say that I've devoted
years of effort to getting rid of the phone, and have succeeded.

I agree with you that as long as he keeps the SC session with
ABCTSR active whenever possible, then the negative effects
should be minimized.  I would expect that if he is in his
home-base session and ABCTSR starts charging, and then he
switches to a SC session without ABCTSR running, that charging
may not stop at all or it may stop 6 hours after he makes the
switch to the SC session without ABCTSR.

I would not mind looking at this person's CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT files to see if there is any other tuning that
can be done to squeek out some more RAM before SC loads.

Also, I understand that if an EMM driver is loaded and SC is
told to use the EMM for swap space, that it will also put part
of itself in the EMM and therefore give a little more RAM to
the sessions below it.  This is probably worth checking into.

I have a 2 meg RAM Korean Samsung HP200LX serial #SG50104035.  From what
I've seen on this list, this seems to be a 1 meg machine with a 1 meg
upgrade. I am interested in upgrading the RAM, but don't really need the
speed upgrade.  What is the cost to upgrade to 7 or 8 megs of RAM
without the speed upgrade?

The cost for an 8 meg upgrade is $159 plus shipping -- $9.50, U.S., $35
outside U.S.
The double speed is free and there is no discount for not including it.

ADB files are a varition of the general GDB file.  When working on the
HP200LX perl modules, I decoded several such files and collected the
results in the files on a BSCW workspace:

  http://falbala.wu-wien.ac.at:8684/pub/english.cgi/0/41413

Around this place you also find a few perl modules and scripts that
play around with those files.  Right now I'm able to export most of the
ADB files, the importer is not done yet but already well in sight.  A
few quiet days might do the trick ;)

If anybody want's to collaborate, drop me a line to add you to the BSCW
work space so that you can add/edit stuff there too.  (BSCW stands for
"basic support for cooperative work", it is a web based collaboration
tool, details about that can be found on http://bscw.gmd.de/ )

I've had my palmtop for more than four years (serial no SG4350...). I've
carried it with me virtually every day. I use a belt pouch from the
Reeline Co. called RIPOFF. I couldn't begin to estimate how many times
it has been opened, but I know that it has been dropped several times.
There is no sign of the dreaded 'hinge crack'. I work on PC's for a
living and I am impressed by the durability of this machine! I recently
had a lock up and couldn't recall the key sequence for a hard boot, a
quick question to this list provided me with the answer. I think that
the very fact that I hadn't used the hard boot sequence enough time to
put it to memory says a lot for the reliability of this computer. I use
it daily in both my work and home life.

A recent post to this list stated that the person was wanting advice on
getting a palmtop. From my point of view there is no better piece of
equipment around. I wouldn't trade my four year old HP-LX for a new
Pentium II 450!!!

And thanks list users for the support.

Subject:      Palmtop News Reader 3.0 released

After many months of beta testing, I have the pleasure of announcing
the release of version 3.0 of PNR - the HP200LX Palmtop News Reader.

* You do not have to pay any money to anyone to use these programs. *

PNR is copyrighted freeware, and can be downloaded from the author's
home page: <URL:http://rwhitby.home.ml.org>.  The source code for all
programs is available.  PNR has been downloaded from my web site over
400 times.

A description of the PNR package, and the changes from PNR version 2.2
can be found below.

A big thanks to the following beta testers who helped make this happen
(in first name alphabetical order): Bob Phillips, David Sargeant,
David Spoelstra, John Musielewicz, Keith Grider, Marie Fenny, Michael
Eng, Michael Hansen, Neil Tungate, Peter Auer, Robert Aanerud, Rosfan
Hashim, Stan Hall, Ted Heise and Tom Hoover.  A special thanks goes to
Ted Heise, who updated the PNR 3.0 documentation.

PNR 3.0
=======

The Palmtop News Reader (PNR) is an offline news & mail reader. It is
capable of reading:

        1. Mail and news files created by LXPOP and LXNNTP on the palmtop
        2. Standard UNIX mailbox format files
        3. Bare format news files

PNR features:

        o Mail and posts can be replied to, with full article quotation,
          and signature file support.
        o Alias support.
        o Basic kill file support.
        o Threaded.
        o Any message can be filed into a folder for storage or later use.
        o External files (e.g. articles saved by other news readers) can be
          imported and stored in a folder.
        o Replies can be re-edited before sending them (or even filed).
        o Proportional and fixed font support. Three fonts can be used which
          can be changed dynamically, allowing zooming.
        o Highly configurable.
        o The built-in MEMO editor or any DOS editor can be used. EXM
          editors can also be used via telling PNR which scan codes to stuff
          into the keyboard buffer.
        o And it's System Manager compliant!
        o And it's FREE!

PNR 3.0 Change History
======================

Version 3.0 - December 1998 (Whitsunday Islands, Australia)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Folders are now stored in separate folder files with corresponding
article index files.  The folder index file now contains an extra
field for the basename of the folder file.

The combination of this change, and the fact that folders are now
stored in Unix MMDF format, is the first step to mail and news
interoperability between the HP Palmtop and the Unix desktop.

This major format change also improves the speed of saving index files
(as article folder files and article index files for groups that have
not been modified do not need to be rewritten).

This change was also the enabling step for being able to re-save
messages from one folder to another.

Outgoing mail and news messages may now contain a Cc: header line.
Adding a Cc: header line to a posted news article means that a copy of
the article is also mailed to any addresses in the Cc: header line.

The message handling routines have been improved to remove the 64KB
limit on message size.  The maximum size of a message is now 2048MB.

Subject:      HP200LX TCP/IP Development Kit 1.0 released

After many months of beta testing, I have the pleasure of announcing
the release of version 1.0 of LXTCP - the HP200LX TCP/IP Development
Kit.

* You do not have to pay any money to anyone to use these programs. *

LXTCP is copyrighted freeware, and can be downloaded from the author's
home page: <URL:http://rwhitby.home.ml.org>.  The source code for all
programs is available.  LXTCP has been downloaded from my web site
over 340 times.

A description of the LXTCP package, and the changes from LXTCP version
0.8 can be found below.

A big thanks to the following beta testers who helped make this happen
(in first name alphabetical order): Bob Phillips, David Sargeant,
David Spoelstra, John Musielewicz, Keith Grider, Marie Fenny, Michael
Eng, Michael Hansen, Neil Tungate, Peter Auer, Robert Aanerud, Rosfan
Hashim, Stan Hall, Ted Heise and Tom Hoover.

LXTCP 1.0
=========

LXTCP is a collection of freeware software programs for the HP200LX
palmtop that provides clients for various TCP/IP protocols (such as
SMTP, POP, NNTP, FTP, etc). Connectivity with the corresponding TCP/IP
protocol servers is via one of the following mechanisms:

  a) a PPP connection via a serial cable
  b) a PPP connection via a PCMCIA or external modem
  c) a direct Ethernet connection via a PCMCIA ethernet card

At the present time, three LXTCP programs are available.

The LXPOP program allows you to transfer mail between your SMTP/POP
servers and your HP200LX (ready for an offline reader such as the
Palmtop News Reader).

The LXNNTP program allows you to transfer news between your NNTP
server and your HP200LX (ready for an offline reader such as the
Palmtop News Reader).

The LXFTP program is an FTP client for the HP200LX with quite
versatile scripting capabilities.

LXTCP 1.0 Change History
========================

Version 1.0 - December 1998 (Whitsunday Islands, Australia)
-----------------------------------------------------------
LXPOP and LXNNTP output is now truly compatible with the Unix MMDF
format (and version 3.0 of PNR).

LXPOP and LXNNTP now have a "savesent" directive for saving outgoing
messages to a PNR folder.

LXNNTP can now deal with NNTP servers that require authentication.

LXFTP can now do recursive FTP transfers, and can deal with FTP
proxies.

4/33c notebook (Mine drive is S/N 80106774 from 1993)

Sadly I have seen previous posts that say it wont work in anything
else (Not my 200lx or KTX P100 notebook)

The compac drivers are hidden in a partition area that on the hard
drive that has been over-formatted on my Aero, so I'm looking
foward to seeing you find a way of making it work.

Hi Yves & List

If you want to swap a compressed PCCard to/from your PC and LX I hope the
info below is of use.

>When Win95 comes to install JAM.SYS, JAM reports "Incorrect DOS
   >version" and that it needs DOS 3.30-6.00 or DR Dos 6 or Novell DOS
   >7.00 and then refuses to load.

I have a system that was upgraded from Dos/win3.11 I *believe* that this
procedure will work from a native win95 system but dont have anything to
test it on. This is what I did (with a few learnings along the way). If
native Win95 there may be no config.sys in the root directory. Its ok to
create a plain(ASCII) file with the lines to install the drivers..


STACKER 3.0 refuses to work under win95. I seem to recall Version 4.1 of
Stacker will apparently work under ,95 but had no info on the Stacker home
page about LX support so I decided to try JAM 1.25.

JAM WORKS  :))

Step by Step

1) If you have a Stacked Card you need to transfer all Data to another
medium as Jam will replace your Stacvol file so you lose existing data..

2) remove Stacker.sys from Palmtop Config.sys and reboot

3) Access A: and delete Stacvol.dsk.. (Backed Up yet?  :) ) It MAY be
System/hidden/Read Only...Attrib -h -r -s if Needed.

4) Create a Jam Volume on A: (I have Jam125.zip on A: outside my Jam file in
case I have to set up on a new PC). Also I have a setup batch file to
 restore all if my batteries die and I lose C:.. Its saved me many hours of
heartache...well worth the half meg I lose of Jam Drive.

5) Complete Config changes to Mount Jam file as new Drive.  (I have both C:
and A: Jammed on my LX giving over 40Meg stored on 8MegLX plus 10 Meg Card)

6) Transfer Data back to new Drive inside Jam...Or create a new Jam file on
your PC same size..once you get Jam installed on the PC as below you will be
able to Tfer the Jam volume taking less time back to your LX.

PC Install under Win95

JAM needs to be installed Before Win95 gets control so Config.sys is a must.

1)Defrag the drive where you want your Jam file (Must be on an UNCOMPRESSED
Drive). Create your Jam Drive File.
I think the format is Jcreate U:\...\name.jam /s=yyy Its in the Jam Docs.
If you have trouble email me offlist..yyy is size.

2)Create or add to Config.sys this line
DEVICE =C:\Jam\Jam.sys

3)Reboot your PC using step by step confirm...F8 to get to options
You need to do this to find out what drive letter is assigned
 by JAM driver.

4)Add to Config sys immediately after Jam.sys line
DEVICE=C:\Jam\Jmount.com X: U:\etc
X: is the drive letter assigned by Jam that you found out during step 3
U:\etc is the Uncompressed drive and path where you Created your Jam file.
(NB MUST be full path and file name inc extention)

5) Reboot and you should have a nice new Jammed drive with letter X: that
you can use in your LX as well.

Pointers and questions..

jam.sys is an MSDOS mode driver so slows the system. I recall there is a way
to fool Windows that any driver is "windows safe" Can someone advise
details? It should allow for faster operations if compatible..

You must allow Windoze to finish writing to a card before removing it.

If you Transferred your data to your PC HD and created the new Jam File on a
Card you can copy Data direct into the new Jammed Drive and then Swap card
to LX..."voila!!" You have your data back in the LX.

If swapping jammed card the filename that you mount has to be the same on
both machines.

For best results with compression I use an appointment to JMAX (recompress)
my drives weekly. I currently get about 2.5:1 with a mix of file types
including Zip's.

The JAM zip is on Super I believe as JAM125.ZIP

Should this procedure be in a FAQ on LX? If so who compiles it?

This has been done from memory so please forgive me for any errors or
omissions. Please advise so I can correct/add to this procedure.

Any questions/suggestions please email me

Regards

Russell



If you have a config.sys in your root Directory you need to add the
following (If Native win95 config.sys may need to be created)

DEVICE=C:\Jam\Jam.sys
Net-Tamer V 1.11P - Test Drive

Hi.
    I'm positive that this will not work on the HP200, even if you could solve
the power problem.
The support for it was built into the Aero BIOS, I used to have one.  As I
understood it, it was not
a normal PCMCIA device and required special support. The reason that support was
built into the
BIOS was so you could still boot off it and reformat your hard drive and stuff
even without regular
PCMCIA support and even if the hidden support partition got messed up.  It would
be super cool
if it did work, of course, and I suppose that it might be theoretically possible
to write drivers, but Compaq
isn't talking about how it worked.

I'd be glad to put it in the FAQ.  Even better if somebody can figure out
a way around the "compatibility mode" that JAM.SYS causes Windows to go
into.

Have you tried editing Win.ini or the registry to allow this application

but at this moment I don't recall the details.

Subject:      TASM & PowerC
Content-Type: text

Just wanted to post some things I learned this weekend about using
assembly language routines with the PowerC compiler.  I know that
some people (me included) use this compiler on the palmtop due to
it's size and efficiency.  I'm using TASM assembler, version 5, to
write some assembly language functions.

First, I tried the asm( void *, void* ) function.  It seems to work
as advertised, although I've seen an occassional "glitch" that I've
yet to understand.  To use this efficiently, I've prepared a small
C filter program that takes the TASM list file and converts it to
a C-style file suitable for including in your C program, thusly:

tasm file.asm,,file.lst
pr -e8 file.lst | lst2hex >file.hex

Then, inside your C code, do the following:

char asmcodeÝ¨={
#include "file.hex"
};

I can't guarantee 100% operation of the lst2hex converter, but it
worked for me for several test cases I was trying.  I'll provide
the program/source to anyone who requests it.


Next, hoping to eliminate the "glitch", I tried calling an assembly
language function directly.  The Power C book describes the method
to do this pretty clearly at the end of the book.  You include a
file called PCMAC.ASM, then invoke several macros.  Two lessons
learned:

 (1) For some reason, the INCLUDE directive didn't work as advertised
on my palmtop or desktop - I had to omit the double quotes around the
filename, then it worked great.

 (2) TASM assumes, unless otherwise directed, that all symbols are
case insensitive, *and* uses upper case for them.  This caused some
concern when the linker couldn't find my function, tst20!  Two workarounds
are possible.  You can use upper case in your C code to name the asm
function (TST20 in my case), or you can assembly the code using the -mx
option, which causes TASM to treat global symbols as case sensitive,
thus preserving your specified name (tst20).

Now for the "glitch"... I'm sending my asm function a pointer to an
array/buffer in memory, and filling the array from the function.  On
several occassions, I have examined the returned array and found that
the contents were shifted by one entry, thusly:

expected buffer:   'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E',  0,  0, 0, 0, 0, ....
observed buffer:    0,  'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 0, 0, 0, 0, ....

This doesn't happen consistently, and I can't correlate it with anything
that I'm doing in the code.  Weird...

Thought this might interest those who are using mixed assembly/C
programming techniques on the palmtop.

I use the Square Notes program to keep track of bits and pieces
of information.  It works like note cards that are searchable.
The notes can be categorized and/or arranged alphabetically.

I am able to select individual notes and create a new file or
merge them into an existing file.

A demo version is available.  I believe the URL is:

Can this package be used to connect to the internet via standard modem?  I downloaded the
required Waterloo TCP package and there is only one document (readme) that explains
the setup.  I'm a programmer by trade (considered to be technically proficient) but I'm
still lost on how to set this up for use with an external modem & my 200LX.

Specifically, which Waterloo application (there are 13) do I run prior to using LXFTP or LXPOP?
The TCP/IP kit just mentions a config file and Waterloo has no mention of modems or phone numbers.

What if your Service Provider uses a dynamic IP address system?  I am assignged an IP at
dial-up, so I cant provide the IP number in the config file.  This seems to be standard for
dialup access in my area.

It appears that this setup is specifically for people who have a network connected to the internet
and use a network card to dialup to their network.  I have not found one reference to setting up
a particular modem or entering a phone number anywhere.  Am I wrong?

Don.

David Once we get a couple of success stories with some suggestions of
pruning the procedure and/or editing I will be happier..

As far as compat mode I seem to recall it was in a procedure on LLRA by
Jorgen??  I dont have access to check but have it printed at home.. Can
someone check me on this.. Something to do with editing a list of "safe"
drivers..  Still no guarantee it will work properly if it is listed tho..
Just have to test and hope..

The info was on a home page in the Palmtop ring I think..

Palmtop Friends,

Thanks to the hard work of Ed Keefe and Tom Gibson at The Palmtop Paper,
there is a great big pile of gifts under our Virtual Christmas Tree (or
whatever holiday icon you might use). There are over 200 new additions
to the SUPER Site and we have moved our main ftp site to a new server
(I had finally run out of space).  Everything should be transparent as
the pages remain the same, but the files will stream in from a new place.

WWW/LX Users: I have taken off the re-direction for you. Hopefully, you should
be able to download from this new server without problems. If you don't know
what I'm talking about, just ignore that bit. :)

I have tried to make sure that all links are good, but a misspelling invariably
slips in. Just let me know if you find anything.

Some of these files just added are a bit obscure and kind of blur the
definition of "essentials", but I figured who am I to say what is essential for
someone else? There should be a holdiay gift for everyone.

Please have a safe and happy holiday season. Thanks for your continued
support of The Palmtop Network and our sponsor, The Palmtop Paper!

Best wishes,

Mitch
SUPER Team

I've not yet unpacked it and begun playing, but it sure looks like it can.

> I downloaded the required Waterloo TCP package Ý...¨

When I visited Ron's web page, I saw several pointers to related software to
be used with LXTCP; for your specific question, it looks like the very first
one he names, DOS PPP by Toni Lopez, would be the right bit. There's a pointer
to it in the first bullet of the "Functionality" list, and another pointer to
it in "Prerequisites".

BTW, I found the internet kind of annoyingly slow this morning, so I fell
back to my laziest way of doing these kinds of downloads; within a screen(1)
session, I ran a lynx to wander about Ron's site and chase to the download
areas of the off-site archives, and for each goodie I wanted, I highlighted
the download link, used screen's cut-n-paste to copy the URL to another screen
session, where I pasted it in as the arg to wget. Fetched all the bits at the
same time.

The URL for DOS PPP was
<URL:http://mvmpc9.ciw.uni-karlsruhe.de/c:/user/toni/>.

For the bigger picture, as far as I can tell what this is about is LXTCP is
libraries and utilities for interacting with the old DOS standard "Packet
Driver" OS network interface. There are a _lot_ of drivers out there, for
various network cards, and a lot of client software. Ron seems to be trying to
fill in the missing bits. I've yet to play with PNR 3.0, but if it's
reasonable, then about the only remaining missing bit will be a good
packet-driver build of a nice lean text-mode web browser, and I think we'll
have a complete winner here. I really prefer network suites built up out of
pieces and parts, in preference to monolithic apps.

It's at the "Hacking with Jorgen" site on SUPER, the LapLink under Win95
page, which is at http://www.palmtop.net/~jorgen/w95.htm.  It says you
have to add the driver name to the ÝSafeList¨ section of
C:\WINDOWS\LOS.INI.  This turns out to be a TYPO!  It should be IOS.INI
(that's a capital I at the beginning) and not LOS.INI.

I'm testing it now to see if adding jam.sys to the ÝSafeList¨ section will
work.

Hi Russell,

I am using Jam ver 1.25, which I believe is the latest. Win 95 is version
4.00.950 B which I think means OSR2.

My Win95 Config.sys reads as follows :
    DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:OFF
    DOS=HIGH,UMB
    DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\SETVER.EXE
    DEVICE=c:\hpflash\JAM\JAM.SYS /A=8 /B=1 /M=2
    device=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\display.sys con=(ega,,1)
    Country=032,850,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\country.sys

The Libretto hard drive is uncompressed (2 GB C: partition plus 1GB D:
partition). I have tried it on an Olivetti and a Compaq Laptop with no
success under Win 95 (it worked fine under Win 3.11).

Please take your time,  I have been living with this for several months, I
would be a nice surpirise if it eventually worked. In the meantime I will
read again the Jam documentation.

Well, I tried to get Jam to work under Windows 98 on my desktop, with
little success.  First I put:

device=c:\jam.sys

in the config sys, and jam.sys in the ÝSafeList¨ section of
C:\WINDOWS\IOS.INI.  Then I rebooted. It gave me an "Incorrect DOS
version" error when loading in config.sys, complaining that it only works
with DOS up to 7.0. So I did:

SETVER JAM.SYS 7.00

and put device=c:\windows\setver.exe in the config.sys right before the
jam driver.  Well, then it loaded, and reserved drive D: for JAM use.

Unfortunately, nothing I did would make it mount any JAM volumes.  No
matter what I did, it would give me an "Invalid drive specification in
<jamfilename>" message.  Even booting straight into DOS mode would give me
this error.  I'm starting to think jmount.com just really doesn't like
Windows 98 or the DOS that underlies it.

I got the files - thanks nutella party!

It doesn't run yet, still. I load 'device=ms-flash.sys' in config.sys, but
when I start 'memcard.exe' it says 'This device cannot be patitioned'.
Display partitition information says 'Reserved 4096K', which is the exact
size of the flash. It doesn't help to completely erase the card.

I somewhere heard about a 'memdrv.exe' being a universal driver for
sram/flash, does anyone have this?

>What is the right crystal for doubling the speed of the machine?
The correct frequency is 31.673550MHz but you will have problems finding
this crystal anywhere as it not only has to be in a very small can in order
to fit the space available, but it has to be a fundamental crystal (rather
than a third overtone) and hence is more specialised. Higher frequency
crystals are typically 3rd overtone. Added to these problems is the fact
that you will need a driver which is loaded in CONFIG.SYS to modify the
operation of the palmtop for double speed e.g. correcting display scan rate
to make it visible, alarm frequency, baud rates and other speed related
parameters. Your best option may be to buy the crystal upgrade kit from
Times2Tech and fit it yourself. The web address is
http://www.Times2Tech.com. Also the FAQ at David Sargeants site has some
useful info. Start at http://www.hplx.net/

There are several options available, I personally have fitted the Marcan 4MB
upgrade which required some fine surface mount soldering to fit the
necessary connector. You can purchase the connector and the 4MB upgrade
board from them, and they deal with overseas customers (I am based in the
UK). I have found Marcan very helpful and would recommend them. For further
details see their web site http://www.marcan-dist.com/

Stupid Question 1:
When I attempt to add an exm program to the sysmanager menu, the 'Key
Assignment' option disappears, however when I press F10 to accept the new
program, it asks me what key to assign to the program. As the key assignment
option is disabled, I cannot.
What gives? Am I that dense (rhetorical)

Stupid Question 2:
I understand that many of you set automatic backup programs that backup your
palmtop to a flashcard at night. I also understand that you can start an
application or macro by | or ||, however I am uncertain of the syntax AND if
you can backup an appointment book file if it is open. I would like to see
some examples, please.

I wish everyone on the list well during this holiday season.

When it asks you what key combination you want to use, just push the key
combination and it will assign it.  For example, say I install the
RM100.EXM application for RadioMail.  Then it will ask me for the key
combination, and I push Alt+ÝMemo¨.  It will automatically assign it to
the Alt+ÝMemo¨ key combination, so when I push those keys it starts the
RM100.EXM application.

I hope this is what you meant.  <g>

How peculiar!
Worthy of a 'duh'

I tried that, but since it would not allow Fn ÝFiler¨ - it beeped - I
figured I was doing something wrong. Fn ÝAPPT¨ worked the first time.

David - you're great. Thanks for the quick answer.

> Can this package be used to connect to the internet via standard modem?

The answer to this question is a definite yes.  I have been
using LXTCP and PNR on my 2x 32M 200LX with a Megahertz XJ2144
PCMCIA modem for a year now.  It was not easy for me to wade
through the setup, but in hindsight it shouldn't have been
that tough.

It may be helpful to see my setup.  Here is a brief overview.
I put my program files in a directory named c:\lxtcp, but you
can pick any directory name you want.  I have the following
files in my working directory (c:\lxtcp):

  chat.exe
  epppd.exe
  lxntp.exe
  lxpop.exe
  pnr.exm
  pnrti.exe
  pppd.cfg
  termin.com
  wattcp.cfg

I have created two subdirectories (c:\lxtcp\filed and
c:\lxtcp\mailbox) for saved messages and incoming/outgoing
messages.  My pppd.cfg file has:

  com2
  38400
  crtscts
  connect "chat '' AT&F OK ATDT7757000 CONNECT"
  user "xxx"
  passwd "yyy"
  namsrv 206.64.96.2
  namsrv 206.64.96.3

where the strings after chat describe alternately the commands
to the modem (AT&F and ATDT7757000) and the responses expected
(OK and CONNECT).  If you need a different initialization
string for your modem, put it in place of the AT&F.  Also, put
your own local dialup number in place of 7757000.  I think with
an external modem you will need com1 instead of com2.  Replace
the xxx with your username and yyy with your password.  The
namsrv numbers should be the IP numbers for the DNS for your
ISP.  You may need to ask your ISP.  Or check their web page.
You don't have to have two different numbers, but it can help
at times.

My wattcp.cfg file contains:

my_ip=bootp
gateway=206.64.96.1
netmask=255.255.255.0
domainslist="nlci.com"
smtp.server=smtp.nlci.com
nntp.server=news.nlci.com
pop.server=pop3.nlci.com
pop.username=xxx
pop.password=yyy
lxpop.spooldir=c:\lxtcp\mailbox
lxnntp.spooldir=c:\lxtcp\mailbox

The bootp lets LXTCP get the IP number from the server (for use
with dynamic IP assignment).  The gateway and netmask are not
needed, I think you can omit those lines.  Next, you will need
to replace the nlci.com, smtp.nlci.com, news.nlci.com, and
pop3.nlci.com with the names of your ISP servers for each of
these services.  Again, xxx and yyy are your username and
password.  The last two lines tell lxpop and lxnntp where to
look for messages--rename those to match the directory names
you chose.

Finally, (almost there :) you will need to have pnr.cfg in your
c:\dat directory.  The following lines must be in it:

ÝPNR¨
user=theise
host=netins.net
name=Theodore Heise
folder=c:\lxtcp\filed
spool=c:\lxtcp\mailbox
timezone=-0500

The user, host, and name can be whatever you want--they will be
used on outgoing messages.  The folder and spool must match the
directory names you picked above.  Timezone is relative to GMT,
but I don't think the line is required.

Feel free to e-mail if you have questions.

Ted

Hello Yves and list

The saga continues...

I RTFM AGAIN and found a ref in the Apendix that may shed some light on the
situation.

JAM125 supports the following

DOS versions 3.3-7.0 BUT must have OEM number as specified

Contact the Author for updates.. So I Wrote to the email address supplied..

Anyone on the list live in Kiev Ukraine if this email doesnt get through?

OEM signatures supported are

00h  IBM
01h  Compaq
0Dh  Packard Bell
0FFh Microsoft

Is the Jam driver coming up with Message Incorrect DOS OEM number?  If so
here is the challenge.

Has anyone located an update on Version 125?

I tried Using "safe" mode via IOS.ini and received Disk write errors so it
seems I am stuck in Real mode compat.

Hope this helps

I'll advise if/when I get a reply to email to Jam's Authors

I also have a PC with a PCMCIA reader...It doesn't work on it, sort a.
But the PC and windows 98 do recognize it as a valid floppy drive but
with on caveat, the internal floppy controller conflicts with it. If I
disabled it, I'm sure it would work. But that is not the objective.

Thanks for posting your setup, Ted.  I think it's always better when
someone other than the author answers questions about how to set up a
package :-) I'm hoping that Stan Hall will also repost details of his
PPPMan configuration tool.

Just a couple of small additions to your reply ...

You can omit those lines if your bootp server sends you those values.
It is preferable to omit them (just in case your ISP changes them).

The timezone is definitely required so that outgoing messages get the
correct date header.

Although I haven't been one of those trying to use a Compaq floppy, I'm
interested in the product you mention.

Bob et al.,

  What I'd like to know is if anyone has gotten the newer, higher
capacity drives, like the LS120 or the similar drive from Sony with
the 200LX - it would be great to have the floppy compatibility along
with the higher capacity.  Also, has anyone gotten a syquest drive
to work with the 200LX??  I would guess the big problem would be
DOS drivers, etc.

I saw an ad in a magazine for a cordless home networking product called
Symphony, with further info available at http://www.proxim.com/symphony4.
Looks like they have a transceiver that plugs into your computer, and then
you can link up with other computers, or (this is the interesting part)
link up with a PC Card version.  It has a small bulge coming off of one
end, which may hoold batteries or something (I'm not sure).  I wonder what
the power requirements for this card are, and if we could write a driver
for the 200LX for it.  Wireless home networking would be pretty neat...

This type of product has been available from other manufacturers for several
months. I have Diamond Multimedia's version of it called Homefree
(http://www.diamondmm.com/homefree). It works in the 2.4Ghz band that the
FCC released for unlicensed use. It's great on my desktop/laptop machines,
but the power requirements are too great for the 200lx. The bulge you're
referring to is the antenna. The card draws power from the host, and the
200lx won't come on with this device plugged in, even on AC power.

I've heard rumors that someone has a Windows CE version of this coming out,
though I don't remember who. This will be our best shot due to CE's desire
for low-power, though we will still have to write drivers and knowing
microsoft it'll probably be some softmodem type of device that can't work in
non-windows products.

Chris,

Accurite Technologies Inc, can be contacted at: 510-668-4900.
They manufacture the Travel Floppy & DoubleSlot, I use they both, they =
are very good products, and you can call them for good tech. supt.

BTW, I have no affiliation with Accurite, other than use their products.

Also, I believe the Travel Floppy also works in Omnibook models 530 & =
4000, because I have an addendum included in my owners manual, but I =
don't own either of those to testify to it.

The DobubleSlot will not work with my 56K Apex modem & a flash card at =
the same time.  It does work with my Cardinal 28.8K modem & flash card.  =
I called Accurite & was told that some of the 56K modems conflict with =
some flash cards and that they were not going to be able to do anything =
about it.  I still continue to use it to transfer data between my floppy =
& flash card without any problems.

Hope this helps, Happy Holidays!

John,

I know that the parallel version of the zip drives work as long as you =
use the Trans PC Card by Trans Digital Corp.  There have been previous =
articles in The Palmtop Paper about it.  If you need it I can tell you =
which past volume it was in if I look thru my past issues.

The Universal parallel port (Trans PC Card) is not cheap, it sells last =
issue of The Palmtop Paper I got, for $179.00.  It is one of the few toys =
for my LX I don't have, only because I haven't justified a need for it.  =
Backing up to floppy is so cheap, and I also use flash cards & a laptop & =
desktop, that both use my parallel 3.2G tape drive, so I have lots of =
places to store things.

Trans Digital can be contacted at: 916-482-5599, and once again I have no =
affiliation with the company.

I was just reading an article about the PalmPilot series and it listed
some web resources, one of which was called PalmtopPlanet.  It seems to me
that the word "palmtop" these days has been pretty much pre-empted to mean
"something that looks like the PalmPilot."  So... I'm wondering if Pilot
enthusiasts are irritated with 200LX users because we have the domains
palmtop.com and palmtop.net registered to us.  "Doggone it," they say,
"those 200LX users have hijacked our domains, and their machines aren't
even PALMTOPS like ours, they're HANDHELDS!"

Mitch, have you been approached by any hostile PalmPilot users?  <g>  (By
the way, your friend's MemoWare site was also mentioned...)

Not yet. I thought for sure some big corporate type would recognize the
importance of a domain name like palmtop.net and offer me a huge chunk of
money, but that has not happened. I do have my eye on a late model 911 Porsche
if it does though! :)

And, I wrote to Craig about the new LXDocReader app. hopefully, we will soon be
mentioned on his site as being able to read Pilot DOC files.

I'm sure this has been answered before, but 'tis the silly season so here
goes:

I'm looking for an email program for my 200lx. I've been using nettamer just
because it's what I registered first, but now I'd like some more
sophisticated email handling. Here's my wants, see if they match any program
you know.

1) integrated multiple account handling --- not only checking, but the
ability to send through different accounts as well without changing my
configuration.

2) selective attachment download --- nothing better than getting a 10mb
attachment on my 8mb 200lx ;). I want to choose what to download and what
not to.

3) sysman compliant  --- not really a requirement, but it would be nice.

4) filtering ??? I know this last one is asking a bit much, but it would be
nice.

I suspect that the screw's anchor tore loose, though I may be wrong. If I'm
right, it should be easy to fix; and if I'm not, the procedure to go in to fix
it is exactly what you'd need to do to find out what's actually wrong anyway,
so who cares?

First thing, I'd go visit Ý1¨, where there are nice instructions about how to
dismantle your palmtop. They --- naturally --- describe in some detail what's
supposed to keep it from coming apart.

That probably won't tell you all you need, by itself. The big tip I'd add is
to take it slow and gentle; if you think you have to force something, you need
to wiggle the bits some more, or find a different way to twist or press or
something; LXes come apart and go back together without a lot of muscle.

Next thing I'd do is swing by the nearest Sears that carries a pretty complete
lineup of tools; there's a very nice Craftsman Torx T6 driver. Mine says

        PROFESSIONAL
        T6x2-1/2 USA 41551

in white lettering on the black plastic handle; there's a red plastic spinner
knob at the end. A T6 is a pretty darned small Torx; this thing looks like a
vicious implement to load into a blowgun. Sears sells it as a single piece ---
you don't have to buy a set. Doesn't cost much.

Next thing is I'd get a can of spray air; Radio Shack usually has that, a
camera store might work as well. If your LX is anything like mine, you'll find
entire families of dust weasles that need blowing out. Canned air is less
likely to spray little droplets of saliva than I am; your drool may vary:-).

And finally I'd get a little tube of crazy glue. It's cheap, and if you do in
fact need it, you won't want to have to leave your HP LX lying in pieces, or
do an extra reassembly/disassembly (particularly since that intermediate
reassembly might be unusually hard). The glue is to glue two bits of case
plastic together, if that helps in picking what sort.

Ok, when you take the four feet off, then pull the four Torx T6 screws from
underneath, then ease the case apart (nice detailed directions in Ý1¨, but
remember it doesn't take forcing, just patience and easing) I suspect, if your
palmtop suffers from the same thing mine suffered from, that you'll find one
of the screws anchors broke loose from the inside of the case. Here's where
I'd try the Crazy Glue. I've not yet attempted to fix mine --- didn't have the
glue on hand, haven't gone back into it. So I can't vouch for a variety of
glue.

One last note: if you aren't already subscribed there, you might want to sign
up for the hplx-l mailing list; I found it from Ý2¨. It seems like most of the
serious 100/200LX mavins have headed there, from comp.sys.palmtops.

Is anybody using LXTCP and PNR with the CHAP authentication?
If so I would like to know how you got it to work.

Quinton,

I don't think PNR has anything to do with it. LXTCP makes the ppp link and
everything else rides on top of that.

I use CHAP authentication with LXTCP dialing into Netcom. My pppd.cfg file
looks like this:


com2
38400
crtscts
connect "chat '' AT&F OK ATDT9,6556266 CONNECT"
user "#xxxx"
passwd "xxxxxxx"
namsrv 199.182.120.203
namsrv 199.182.120.202
debug

To call that, I just type "epppd" in the same directory containing both
EPPPD.EXE and PPPD.CFG. You have to use the EPPPD.EXE from the CHAPSUPP.ZIP
file.

Hope this helps...

Actually, it even lower than that.  DOSPPP is the culprit, and LXTCP
doesn't even know whether you're using CHAP or not.

> You have to use the EPPPD.EXE from the CHAPSUPP.ZIP file.

This is the crux of the matter.  I also heard that MicroSloth have
their own version of CHAP, so that could also be affecting you.

I've trying to get hold of the DOSPPP author to see if the source for
the latest version can be released, but no luck so far.  The source
for DOSPPP version 0.5 is available, but when I recompiled it on the
palmtop it didn't work (failed during PPP negotiations).

MIME-Version: 1.0

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I just got my 32Mb-upgraded machine back from Thaddeus a few days ago
(THANKs, Thaddeus, for a great product!), and all seemed well for a
while.  I've been enjoying the flexibility of SW Carousel, and being
able to run without an A: drive.  (Now I can slip my ThinFax (14400/4Mb)
card in and out without rebooting - seems the ThinFax driver and ACE
card driver are incompatible ... long story.)

BUT TO GET TO THE POINT: now I've noticed that sometimes, but not
always, when I turn off the machine, insert the ThinFax, and turn on the
machine, then some keys don't work - Enter, l, d, Appt, et al.  If I
remove the card, all is well.  If I wait a while, then eventually the
problem clears up, but then the problem can reoccur when I REMOVE the
card.  Tonight I discovered that if I wait a few seconds before turning
the machine back on, then I don't seem to have the problem.

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the speed upgrade, since in
the past I always would have rebooted before and after using the ThinFax
card.  I wonder if this waiting a few seconds is really a fix or just a
coincidence.  I also wonder if replacing CIC100 with LXCIC would solve
the problem.

Has anyone experienced this?  Or does anyone have any thoughts on the
matter?

TIA,
    Geo.

I experienced something kind of similar with my 32MB/2x 200LX, as well.
 I was using a SimpleTech 33.6 modem, and if I stuck it and didn't wait
a sec or two before turning the LX on, it'd actually reboot and say,
"Exiting backup mode".  I figure that the added current draw of the
modem was enough to shock the machine into rebooting.  You could be
seeing something similar, but with a lower power 14.4, and the added
variable of the flash driver for the EXP, it could just be enough to
hang the machine.

That's my guess, anyhow.

Aaron! I Hope some has come to your rescue (your down 200lx) If not try
this

1. take out the main batteries and let the unit set for about 3-5mins
2.then put the batteries back in and try the on key again.
3.if that does not work hold down esc key and turn on the unit.(this
puts the unit into
system test mode.
4.you can do a hard system boot (but this deletes all info in the unit)
hold down ctrl,
on,and up arrow keys.

if none of these work then you service of course there are many other
way to get the
system to turn on but it's over my head but I am sure others on line can
help you

                        good luck

> What's the difference between using SQN and LX memo
> except anotherlayer of complexity?

With Memo, I can create a text file that is searchable.  With
Square Notes I can throw a bunch of text files into a searchable
"database."

One example of the way I use the program would be, say, there are
a couple of posts to the list that have information that I think
I might want to keep for future reference...  I save them as I
go along into individual text files.

I could put them into one big text file, allowing me to "search"
for the information I saved when I need it.  I could even cut and
paste the info to a new file if I want to share it with someone
else.  That works fine until the file gets really big.

Alternatively, I can keep the posts in individual text files.
Finding the information I know is there somewhere requires using
a TREX -type utility.  It works, but it's work.

If, instead, I import the individual text files into SQN, I can
do string searches on all the info at one time.  The program will
bring the notes containing the search words to the front so I
can easily find the one I'm looking for.  I can assign subjects
or categories to the notes.  I can export some of the notes to
a new file.  I can print with minimal formatting.  I can select
the notes that will be of interest to another genealogist and
give them only that information.

I usually assign a date line to notes and keep them in chronilogical
order so stuff is sorted automatically from oldest to newest.

One other use for the program is lists.  I maintain a list of
people at work that are classified by qualifications.  If I
want to print out a list of people who are qualified to do one
task or people qualified to do one task and one other specific
task, I can easily sort the list, excluding all other people,
and export to a text file.  The really useful thing here is
that not all information is dumped to the file.  I can specify
whether everything gets printed or whether only the information
below the -.-.-.-.-.- line gets printed.

Anderson, Joe - qualification A - quick and efficient
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
A - Joe Anderson


Smith, John   - qualification A - slow to the point of useless
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
A - John Smith


Could print out as:

A - Joe Anderson
A - John Smith

If I choose to only print the information below the line...
Very politically correct.

Mainly, though, I use it to keep track of a lot of unrelated or
loosely related genealogy data.  I receive tons of info from
people who are doing research in the same area I am and we
exchange quite a bit via email. If I import the emails into
SQN, I can nearly instantly tell if I have anything on Rachel
Clements or not (or who else may).  Looking through piles of
papers to achieve the same result can take a long time.
Sometimes I am only sharing info given me by one researcher with
another researcher who may be searching for people for whom I
have data, but who are not related to me.

I don't think I've explained this very clearly, however, the
program is very useful to me.  The only drawback is sometimes
it seems to be very slow when I am not using the AC adapter.
I've become accustomed to this, but it may bother others.

Subject:      FLUFF: An engineer's Christmas spirit
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

An engineer ponders whether there really is a Santa Claus:

1. No known species of reindeer can fly. But there are 300,000 species of
living organisms yet to be classified, and although most of these are
insects and germs, this does not completely rule out flying reindeer, which
only Santa has ever seen.

2. There are two billion children - persons under 18 - in the world. But
since Santa doesn't appear to handle the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist
children, that reduces the workload to 15 percent of the total, or 378
million, according to Population Reference Bureau. At an average rate of
3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes.

3. Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different
time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west,
which seems logical. This works out to 822.6 visits per second.
        So for each Christian household with good children, Santa has 1/1000th of
a second to:
        * park,
        * hop out of the sleigh,
        * jump down the chimney,
        * fill the stockings,
        * distribute the remaining presents under the tree,
        * eat whatever snacks have been left,
        * get back into the sleigh, and
        * move on to the next house.
        Assuming that each of these 91.8 million stops are evenly distributed
around the earth, we are now talking about: 0.78 miles between households,
a total trip of 75.5 million miles, not counting stops to do what most of
us must do at least once every 31 hours, plus feeding the reindeer.
        This means that Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second, 3,000
times the speed of sound.
        For purposes of comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle, the Ulysses
space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second. A conventional reindeer
can run, tops, 15 mph.

4. The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming
that each child gets nothing more than a medium-sized LEGO set at two
pounds, the sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is
invariably described as overweight.
        On land, conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even
granting that "flying" reindeer could pull 10 times the normal amount, we
cannot do the job with eight, or even nine. We need 214,200 reindeer. This
increases the payload - not even counting the weight of the sleigh - to
353,430 tons. Again, for comparison, this is four times the weight of the
Queen Elizabeth II cruise ship.

5. With 353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second, there is enormous
air resistance. This will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as a
spacecraft re-entering the earth's atmosphere. Houston, we have a problem!
        The lead pair or reindeer will absorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy
per second. In short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously,
exposing the reindeer behind them, and create deafening sonic booms in
their wake.
        The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within 4.26 milliseconds.
Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.09 times
greater than gravity. A 250-pound Santa, which seems ludicrously slim,
would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force.
In conclusion - If Santa ever did deliver presents on Christmas Eve, he's
dead now.

But seriously folks, everyone have a happy holiday season.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year.

Patrick,

Goto: www.dasoft.com & purchase the lastest version on WWW/LX & POST/LX. =
 I
personally use it to send & receive all my email from my palntop.  I =
don't
even use my 300MZ new laptop or my 300MZ new desktop to send & receive my
email.  It is just so convenient to do it from my palmtop from home or
work.

As far as browsing the web from WWW/LX from my palmtop, as long as I =
don't
try to visit web sites that use frames, such as The Detroit News @
www.detnews.com, it works just fine, I can download small files that I =
use
on the palmtop & do a lot of things from a device that fits in my pocket!

That key assignment is not a data entry field, but it is
reporting the key that is assigned to that icon.  Before you
entered the name of the EXM program, it assumes it is a DOS
program and so sets the key assignemnt to Ctrl-123.  But as
soon as AppMgr sees the .EXM ending, it removes that default
key assignment because it knows you need to set one.

You can then set the hot key assignment for your EXM by
pressing the F4 (Setkey) function key.  If you don't do it
that way and just press F10 for OK, then it notices you
didn't assign a key and so it asks you for one.  So, it can be
done either way.

You cannot use a key combination with the Fn key for a EXM hot
key.  Only Alt and Shift and Ctrl combinations.

If email is all that is needed/required the Goin' Postal may serve to be
a less expensive alternative, although WWW/LX is a nifty internet suite
with a cool browser, but the memory requirements and price may serve to
be restrictive for email-only use.

Just purchased a 40 MB Compact Flash (San Disk) with Super Software
Carousel and the Collins Multilingual Dictionary from Thaddeus
Computing. My Christmas present to/from me... The CF card worked right
out of the box the software was already on it as I had requested and it
looks like the Software Carousel is going to be a handy item. One
problem though: When I attempt to run the Multilingual Dictionary even
from a bare DOS prompt I get the message "Cannot execute
A:\COLLINS\COLLINS.EXE". I am unable to run from either the A: or C:
drive. I suspect a memory problem but I'm not sure what to do. MEM
reports 566064 as largest executable program size.

Does anyone have any experience with this or suggestions?

It definitely is not the memory. It needs well less than 200K to run. It
seems like I have run into the problem before, but I can't recall. I
would delete all files and copy them over again and see if that does it
following instructions in the enclosed sheet.


By the way for anyone that wanted the Collins Dictionary Thesaurus
package, a few minutes ago I finally got the rights to reproduce them
again.  By the time we get the master from the UK and redo the CD and
manual, it will be sometime in January when we are ready to ship.  You
can place your orders at www.palmtoppaper.com or at Thaddeus at 800 373
6114, but know you will have to wait.

Great news, Hal!  Now my review will still be of use to people.  :)

I had a similar problem on two different occasions.  For some mysterious
reason the .cfg file was corrupted.  If you don't have a back up you could
get the config file from Thaddeus or I could send you a copy.

Very strange with Microsoft.  We sent about 5 emails each back and forth
on a daily basis.  Then all of a sudden they stopped responding to my

Subject:      Re: pop3 email program

I am in the process of creating a Win95 application that receives mail via the
palmtop's cc:Mail and then sends the msgs out through MS Outlook.  This message
was created on my 200LX and sent via Outlook (by way of my app).

All the program does is export/import the msgs between Outlook and a cc:Mail
postoffice.  It requires cc:Mail's import/export programs & the admin utils to
create the P.O., as well as Dialin.exe to receive the calls.

I'm not sure if some or all the cc:Mail apps can be found on the web.

My intentions are to create a "Palmtop Server" (running on a desktop) to take
commands via email (i.e. retrieve FTP or HTML files) as well as send/receive
internet mail.

Is anyone else interested in using this setup?

Don.

Regarding the collins dictionary program - is there anyway to make it
run full-screen?  When I start it, it always draws a box that's about
3/4 or 2/3 the height of the screen.  I'd really like it to be full
size.

I just purchased a set of the 1350mah NiMH batteries from Thaddeus
(also bought a copy of ABC/LX).  All is fine regarding charging .....
I have a question about the discharge characteristics of these batteries.
Specifically, what is everyone's experience with the discharge curve
(output voltage vs. time) of these batteries -- what can expect for a
discharge curve?

Subject:      Cool software!

I can highly recommend the software called PCTime available from S.U.P.E.R..
Sometime back I asked a question about how accurate the clock was on the LX
and now thanks to this nifty software I know! I have only used the software
a few times today, so I don't have an accurate picture yet. The first time I
used the software it kinda freaked out some repeating alarms that I have in
my appointment book when it was dialing the NIST. To solve this problem I
just run it from within a maxdos session and it doesn't interfere a bit. The
long distance call to Colorado only takes about 10 seconds so it should be
feasible to call once a day to keep my clock accurate. I'm always paranoid
about time, because I use my LX to track satellites and now I have one more
problem solved by my LX <grin>. Happy holidays to all!

It is funny this should come up I also have just invested in 1300mah
NiMH batteries from a local electronics company here in Western
Australia.  I put a charged set in on Monday and noticed that the
voltage
(as reported by BUDDY) was not as high (2.78v) as the Alkaline's
I was using.

It is now Thusday and BUDDY is reporting 2.56v @ 3.94hrs of use
it seems to be holding around 2.5v and I'm hoping it remains that
way as I normally get 28-30 hours (without alarms) from Alkalines.

It is not looking good at present but then I've been using 3-4 alarms
a day, with a custom tune that is probably twice as long as the
default
alrm.

Can anyone comment on charging NiMH in the Palmptop?

Regards and a Merry Xmas to all.......Liam

Thanks to Bob Elliot Jr, Al Kind, and Tim S., my "200LX Nightmare" has
been downsized to simply a bad dream.  After a hard system boot (it
didn't give me the choice not to reinitialize the C drive), I've learn
a hard lesson about backing up more faithfully (for the second time).
At least I'm on my way to restoring my data.  Thanks for the help.

I'd like to hear more about it.  I'll have to dig out my old cc:mail
stuff.  I had my PO up and running a while ago and was able to dial in
from my palmtop and send and receive local (lan) mail.  But after testing
several thinkgs didn't find a cost effective way to link it with internet
mail.

Is there an upper-limit to the voltage the 200LX will accept at the
battery terminals?  I tried to hook up a voltage supply that was putting
out something like 5 volts to the battery terminals, and the palmtop
wouldn't come on at all.  I know the upper limit the palmtop can measure
is 3.3 volts, but what's the upper limit it can accept and still turn on?
I'd look in the SDK for info if I had it with me.

I fail to see what EXM buys you. Other than limiting code
space and making things miserable for the programmer, what
advantages do you see?

And you are right, PE is a text editor, never meant to be a
word processor. Neither is Memo.

It seems that the palmtop is a difficult platform for true
wordprocessing because of the keyboard, which limits the
typing speed. I almost never do final items on the palmtop
(unless the text version is sufficient...) I do my text on
the palmtop, then save it on the PCMCIA, plug it into the
laptop or desktop and bang out a good looking, fancy
document that way.

Yeah, right. But do you believe he will put something like
this out? He is not into fancy stuff, just functional
stuff...

The frames work fine and are supported, in a way. A Webpage
with frames is really two or more webpages displayed on the
screen at the same time. The webpages are named in a
FRAMESET. WWW/LX Plus folks chose to support frames in a
unique way which considers the limited screen size: They
create a webpage on the fly which contains links to each of
the webpages mentioned in the Frameset, so you can visit
each of the webpages included in a frameset.

What seems to be not supported is Java and Javascript - but
this is so totally ridiculous on a DOS palmtop anyway...

Also, the tables are pretty poorly supported, if you ask
me, but with the limited screen, at least there is
something...

Chiefly, speed of entry (i.e. you can get into the program quickly), ease
of pasting to other applications, and the ability to multitask with the

But Memo at least has some word processing features, like formatting

After lots of practice, I can generally do about sixty-seventy words per
minute on the palmtop.  I've written quite a few short stories, pieces of
novels, and essays for school on the palmtop.  I also know people who have
written entire books on the palmtop with WordPerfect 5.1 or Word 5.5.  I
just thought it would be nice to have an EXM word processor with more
features than memo.

Heh heh... exactly true.  No, I don't expect it, I just thought it would
be cool.

To start the program and stop it does not seem all that
important with SC. Just leave your program open. The
trouble of EXM _certainly_ is not warranted for _this_!

You cannot multi-task with the palmtop System Manager
anyway, only taskswitch - big distinction. With SC this
seems to be a moot point as well.

The pasting is possible now. Look for Clipvue by g Kohl.
Works well...

That's it! You named all the "wordprocessing power" of
Memo. I think multiple open files, unlimited filesize,
macros, and some of the sophisticated and fast search
provided by PE beats Memo to pieces as a "wordprocessor".
Memo is a dog compared to PE, even as a "wordprocessor".

That is quite an accomplishment there! I heard there were
two full length novels written on the palmtop, is this
true?

Which COM-Port can I use? Com1 or 2 doesn't function.

You're probably right.  Especially now that there are 64MB palmtops. :)

True, but the task switching within SysMan is faster than SC's task
switching, so it can be more effective at multitasking.

I do use it, and it's a nice piece of software.  But still-- saving text
as a file and then pasting it into SysMan apps is not the same as
selecting text, hitting copy, switching, and hitting paste.

Well, I know of one guy who wrote two full-length books in WP51, but they
weren't novels.  I would imagine there are other people who have written
them on the palmtop as well-- it's great.

WP51, though, is not exactly brimming with user-friendly commands-- you
need to learn the old way of doing things to use it.  Word 5.5 is somewhat
better, but lacks all the features of WP51.  So, I guess what I'd like to
see, is PalEdit enhanced with "word processing" features, but still
retaining the modern, palmtop-friendly way of doing things.  If that makes
sense.

It's probably not worth the trouble just for the few of us who do real,
serious word processing on the palmtop... but maybe such an application
would inspire more people to do so.  :)

Except for the F11 and F12 key, which is substituted by Fn1 and Fn2

Hmm.... sounds like a challenge!  :)

Which version is most suited for the palmtop?

What additional features does it have that WP51 doesn't?

The last time I used WordStar was on my Kaypro II CP/M machine, and it was
a pretty darn good word processor for the era.  But I don't know what
changes have been made to it since then to improve it...

Not silly at all.  In fact, it seems to be a frequent theme here.
I have to put in a plug for LXTCP/LXPOP and the Palmtop News
Reader.

Multiple accounts:  LXPOP is set up to get e-mail from a single
POP server, but it is relatively simple to write a configuration
file for each account and use a batch file to swap them.  I've
grabbed e-mail from all five of my accounts without any problem.

Sending from different accounts may be a bit awkward.  The only
way I can think of is to edit the From: and Reply To: headers
for individual messages after they've been composed.  It's not
too handy, but can be done.

As far as I know, there is no way to limit the download of
attachments.  I'm sure others will point out if I'm wrong. :)

Your third "requirement" is a PNR strength.  LXPOP itself is
not SysMan compliant, but during upload and download of e-mail
who needs it?  One feature I really like about PNR is the
ability to switch between it and other LX apps--and to use
Memo for message editing.

Filtering is available in PNR in the form of a kill file.
I haven't used it much, but it is there.  Of course, if you
want sophisticated filtering you could look into procmail.

That's my take on things, feel free to ask questions.

This interests me. I use Thaddeus NiMH, and I have never seen
the charge voltage go over 2.92 (measuring with LXPRO).
Right now, the voltage is 2.88 (at slow charge for 33 hrs).
I detect no warmth in the LX or the batteries.
In the past, I have restarted fast charge a couple times to
maintain fast charge and then the LX gets a somewhat warm,
but the batteries are cool.
I have a 2 meg 200lx, single speed with an older 10 meg Sandisk
and I would guess I get about 8-10 hrs with the voltage over 2.5.

Am I ever "fillingup" the batteries?

I always preferred WordPerfect (used v4.2 and 5.1), but that's just
personal opinion. I do think it had more features than WS, at least until
WordStar 2000 came out.

However, I know WS was much smaller (which equals palmtop friendly),
with many versions running with as little as 64kb memory because of
overlay files (a leftover from the good old CP/M days).

I still have an old CP/M version of WordStar somewhere...

Any chance of you sharing a copy of v3.3 (along the lines of the
"abandonware" concept)? It would be easier for me to use it this way than
transfer my version from its 5.25 inch disk and onto the PC (and then
using it with an emulator, which should be possible) and I'd only use it
for playing around with anyway.

I checked out SimTel looking for CP/M emulators; there're quite a few

Has anyone tried one of these beasts on the LX? what kind of speed can I

There is already an archive of CP/M software somewhere and while it only

I was not clear. I understand that the architecture of the
80186 chip prevents you from multi-tasking, never mind
System Manager. It will never multi-task. I agree that
System manager task-switching is faster, but now, with 64MB
(and 32MB or even less) machines, SC can switch in just
under a second. Even if you do 100 switches per day you
spend under two minutes PER DAY total of waiting! Does not
sound like a major (or even minor) inconvenience to me. You
must be pursing this because you are a gadget-freak! ;-)

Right, it is not the same. But for this functionality you
need another 100,000 instructions (just a number, guess)
and that makes it not worthwhile to do on a 16MHz 80186.

Two books? On the palmtop? Wow. One of your interviewees
wrote a lot too...

That is a good point! WP 5.1 seems arcane and it takes more
then 15 minutes to learn. But if you need that
functionality 15 hours of learning, or even 150 hours of
learning seems like pittance compared to the functionality
of a full prod processor you can use when travelling on the
train, or waiting to pay at the supermarket!

Thank you for the good exchange of messages. This is my
first real exchange here...

Again, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to you and
all!

In Post/LX I can either prevent anything greater than some

But it would be wonderful to be able to use System Manager

limitations you described about PNR are its "strength" as
you described it... Can you elaborate please?

Why would you see the voltage go over 2.92V ? The nominal
voltage oh NiMH is 1.3V per cell. Together they produce
2.6V. When you charge them, they can (very) temporarily go
higher, but their operational voltage range is below 2.6V.

what should interest you more is how long does the battery
provide current ABOVE 2.39V. The more hours a battery stays
over that voltage (where the Palmtop sounds the low battery
alarm) the better. The pursuit of the peak is truly
meaningless. You will only spend a few moments there...

Get ABC/LX to manage the charging. The heat can come from
the batteries as well as the charging circuitry, smewhere
below the numeric pad.

What's the total service time? 1300mAh NiMH can deliver
about 9-12 hours, depepnding on what else you do, how much
you write, the PC card you use (12 V old card tke more
juice to write etc.)

 > Am I ever "fillingup" the batteries?

NiMH can always be refilled, no memory effect. NiCDs have
no memory either, but the folklore and mythology around
them is so strong that if I say it, I'll fill up my mailbox
with hatemail and so on...

Yes, pretty much.  :)  When I said that the faster task-switching helps
make multitasking more effective, I meant that if I am doing more than one
task on the palmtop, it will be more effective-- and I will multitask
better myself (not the palmtop itself)-- the faster it switches.

You're right about the SC switches being very fast now.  I'm just a
fanatic.  <g>

Well, I have heard that programs using NKIT and the routines built into
the palmtop BIOS can actually be smaller than ordinary DOS executables.
But I have no experience (yet) in actually creating one.  Maybe Jorgen
Wallgren or some other EXM programmer can let us know the details on this.

<g>  Yes, apparently so.  Actually I finished up what I wanted to say in
the next paragraph.

Yes.  That's true.  Avi Meshar does a lot on the palmtop.  Another guy,
Davis Chapel, has recently released a novel e-text at the HPLX Unplugged
site, and he uses a 200LX... though he doesn't specifically say if he
wrote the book on a palmtop.  :)

True.  But there are some features I would really like to see, like more
modern keyboard commands, since I use WordPerfect 8 on the desktop as
well, and many of the keyboard commands are not similar between the two.
It would be nice to be able to zoom and what not in WP51 as well.

Perhaps there's some way to remap the keyboard in WP51 so that things like
shift-arrow text selection work?  I'm not sure.

I'm always glad to start a lengthy thread.  :)

What he meant was that PNR comes in a true SysMan EXM version, and is the
only one of the popular e-mail solutions on the 200LX to do so.  The
others are regular DOS applications.  EXM and EXE, of course, each have
advantages and disadvantages, which I believe we've discussed in the "Word
processor" thread.  <g>

Maybe I'm not being clear.  With LXTCP I can dial up and
establish a PPP connection.  I can then call LXPOP with
one configuration file and it will download all messages
from one POP server.  I can then call LXPOP with another
config and get all messages from another POP server.
Same login session for the PPP.  The multiple calls can
be easily written into a batcch file.

Again, I must not have been very clear.  LXPOP is the part
that uploads and downloads messages.  PNR is the part that
reads, writes, and files messages.  LXPOP is not SysMan
compliant.   I suppose you could run it in a DOS shell and
task swap while it was running, but for the two minutes
or so that e-mail is being sent and received, I prefer to
watch the transactions.  PNR on the other hand runs like
any other native LX app.  During reading, writing, or
filing of messages I can readily switch to any other LX
app and back.  In fact replies are written in Memo.

Hope that is clearer.  Feel free to ask if anything isn't.

Yes!  This is the single function I miss the most whenever I
use WordPerfect.  It seems like it would be relatively simple
to remap Block On (F12?) becomes Shift-LeftArrow, but making
it work exactly the same (i.e., *holding* the shift key) might
be a bit tricky.

Subject:      BuddyDOS curiosity
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

I recently created a batch file to run WordPerfect with all the right
options, and to load BuddyDOS to make typing easier.  The batch file is
C:\WP\WP51.BAT and contains:

@echo off
buddydos
wp /mono %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
buddydos /u

I then created an HDM icon to run the batch file from HDM.

Unfortunately, when I run it, it goes into an infinite loop.  When I exit
WordPerfect, BuddyDOS unloads, and HDM reloads.  However, it goes right
back into WordPerfect again.  I have to use ctrl-break while the batch
file is running to terminate it.

I figured out that BuddyDOS, when exiting, was somehow leaving something
in the keyboard buffer.  So I added the command "date" to the end of the
batch file, and sure enough, that fixed it.  This is what happens after WP
is exited:

This is 200Buddy(TM) (Rel 3.0b)
Current date is Fri 12-25-1998
Enter new date (mm-dd-yy):   Buddy exit

C:\WP>

It appears that BuddyDOS, when unloaded, stuffs those keystrokes ("Buddy
exit" followed by a return) into the keyboard buffer.  Can anybody tell me
why this might be, and if it happens to everybody or just on my machine?

I use Charge-It! by Peniel Romanelli (on the SUPER site) to charge my NiMH
batteries. It's freeware and has all the options you need to handle those
batteries. You can set much longer fast charge times, watch for the voltage
where the battery just won't take any more (2.88v on my machine) and switch
to slow.

The NiMH batteries take MUCH longer to charge than NiCads. I typically
charge for around 18 hours on fast before I reach the peak voltage. You will
learn a lot about the battery's charge/discharge characteristics by
examining a Battlog graph. Charge-It! also produces a graph during the time
it is controlling the HP.

OH YES!

Ladder is one of my favourite games of all time. Simple ASCII graphics,
but excellent "Donkey Kong" like gameplay (only better of course :-)

I did manage to get it running on my old 486 a few years back (using
22NICE, a CP/M emulator), but getting the timing right was tricky (the
game doesn't have any timing routines of its own)

There is also a FreeBSD remake out there somewhere (with C source), but it
isn't all that good (the "graphics" are right, but the controls aren't).
There's an Amiga version too, which I have never tried.


The memories... I almost destroyed a keyboard playing Ladder (surely not
from smashing the keyboard when failing "Point of no Return"? ;-)

I still have the NCR Decision Mate V, though. Might turn it on one day to
sit in the green glow from the monitor and play a little Ladder...


Happy New Year,

Laust

But think of the possibility to create a complete new keyboard layout. You
can assign the standard palmtop keys to your keyboard layout and work like
in a System Manager app.

There are users of the build-in 123 and even of Lotus Agenda. In WordPerfect
you have at least a Menu bar. And you can assign a lot of standard
operations to macros. The WP Macro languages was one of the most powerful
ones (in those old times).

I'm not clear on how to do that.  Can somebody who has more experience
with WP51 and the keyboard layout / macro options give some further
insight as to how to create a new keyboard layout to make WP51 more

Subject:      novatel wireless's sage cdpd modem
Mime-Version: 1.0

hey all

i just picked up a novatel wireless sage modem, a nifty little external
cdpd modem.  they retail for $200 with a 12 month service contract from
bell atlantic nynex mobile ($55/month, unlimited).

the sage supports speeds up to 19.2k, tho with a lossy signal i seem
to get about 600-700cps.  it runs off a custom 5-pack 1350 NiMH AA
batteries which are rechargeable in the unit and last about 2 hours
continuous use.  it's size is also very comparable to the hp, not as
wide and a bit thicker.

although it doesn't directly support dos or the hp, it was relatively
simple to get the two working.  the sage requires some initialization
which can be done manually through datacomm or by using the windows
client.  I was in a hurry to get it done, so i used the client :¨

as far as the hp is concerned, it's a regular modem through which a ppp or
slip connection has been initiated.  i tried out some popular packages
(www/lx, nettamer, wattcp clients) and this is what i got so far:

nettamer doesn't seem to like the sage.  the program just isn't flexible
enough by default to even get around to establishing the connection (loops
during dialing).  would most likely have no problem if i could get it to
do a manual connection.

www/lx works fine.  of course, i only was able to use the demo version,
so testing is a bit akward.. seems as if the two love each other tho.
i used a modified direct connect script to get it together.  hopefully
i'll be able to get enough money to buy this, at it's the only option
i see for web browsing on the hplx at the moment.

wattcp clients also work fine.  i used dosppp v0.6 as the packet driver,
there was a little trouble getting it to work with slip packet drivers
(which i prefer because of the smaller memory usage).

there is a problem with bell atlantic nynex mobile's setup though, they
have a firewall setup which seriously interferes with most tcp connections
(udp and icmp are fine) like telnet and ftp.  because of the holiday i have
not had the chance to complain.

there's still a lot more testing to do, i'll keep you informed if there's
interest :¨

--francois
  ¬-who wouldn't mind recieving www/lx as a late christmas present right now :¨

I have not used WP for a few years but it is possible. I once re programmed
the whole keyboard configuration to be WordStar compliant. I prefer WordStar
to WP. both are good just a matter of what you are use too.

I have WS 4.0 loaded on a HP200LX PC card and have both the spell checker
and thes. loaded, It runs slow but is better than Memo for certain
documents. I ca not spell so prefer to use a spell checker. The after market
checkers are not the same as a built in one.

Some company bought out the old WordStar software and holds the license,
maybe we could get them to allow the use/distribution of the older software
via some type of agreement, last I heard WordStar 2000 was selling for less
than $30.00.

You have to use 2 percent signs in a batch file. So your batch file should
look like this:

@echo off
buddydos
wp /mono %%1 %%2 %%3 %%4 %%5 %%6 %%7 %%8 %%9
buddydos /u

Well, that would be if I actually wanted to pass the parameters "%1 %2 %3
%4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9" to WP.  With just one percent sign, these parameters
are filled in with the arguments to the batch file.  So if I feel
inclined, I could run it from the dos prompt and do:

wp51 hs.txt

And have it automatically open that file.

This (discharge curve Ývoltage vs. time¨) was what I was
trying to find out from the original message (see topic).
Looks like the discussion has now moved to charging
characteristics, and if there's been any description of the
*discharge* curve then I've missed it.

I've had a few questions 'bout the novel by Chapel on my pages, the one
called A.K.A.  I was hoping Chapel would comment here himself, but he must
be gone for the holidays.  Anyway, aka is not scifi like the others I put
on there.  It's more of a tech-thriller, I would say.  Or a
mystery-thriller with technology in it.  The thing I liked about it was all
the details about communications technology and the FBI.  Chapel tells me
he interviewed several FBI agents for this.  And I think it's based on an
actual case in the town where it happens.

I don't know if he wrote the whole thing on the 200LX.  he did say
something about editing it in word (which he got from my site) on the
palmtop.   anyway, it's a good read...

That is to be expected.  The nominal voltage on a new alkaline
battery is 1.5 volts while the a full NiMH battery is about
1.25 volts.

You will not get the same number of hours between charges with
NiMH batteries that you get from a set of alkalines.  Alkaline
batteries have about 2-3 times the capacity of NiMH batteries.
 So, you can expect 1/2 to 1/3 the amount of hours between
charges - depanding on how low you let them get before
recharging.

> Can anyone comment on charging NiMH in the Palmptop?

The built in charge cycle in the palmtop is too short to fully
recharge a pair of NiM batteries but with software like ABC/LX,
which I think you said you have, you can lengthen the charge
cycle and make sure the batteries are fully charged each time.

Thanks for that tip, Hermann.  I  did not know that would work
for simulate the F11 and F12 keys.  What I was refering to,
though, was the Fn key in combination with the F1-F10 keys or
the Fn key in combination with the application hot keys.

The discharge curve of NiMH batteries is very much like NiCd
batteries.  They will drop down a bit from the full charge
voltage, ramain relatively flat for most of the time and then
fall off to nothing rather quickly in the end.

That is fine - don't worry about it.

I have never felt the batteries get warm during charging in the
palmtop - the charge current is purposely low so that the
batteries are never strained during charging.

Right - that is the voltage conversion circuits in the palmtop
getting warm and tha is quite normal.  The display will also
dim during charging and that is normal also.  Just adjust the
display contrast while charging and then back again after
charging is done.

> Am I ever "fillingup" the batteries?

It would probably be better if you used a program such as
ABC/LX to monitor the charge cycle and automatically turn off
charging when the batteries were full rather than playing with
restarting the built in 6-hour charge cycles.  I don't think
you will really hurt the batteries the manual way, but you may
be overcharging or undercharge them sometimes.

BTW, I work Tech Support for D&A Software, but I also think
ABC/LX is a great product anyway.

It sounds like your backup was corrupted also.  Do you have an
older backup file?

You can try exporting the particular account that is having
the trouble, delete it, and then import it again.  Maybe the
export function can get past the corruption.  Or at least it
will export as much as it can before getting stuck.  You can
also try using the 200 CPACK to convert it to desktop Quicken
format and then back to PQ format again.  Maybe this can clean
it up.

I would also recommend a better method for backing up the file
- keep multiple generations of backups so that you can go back
in time many steps to before a corruption hit you.

I haven't heard anything about the Pocket Quicken in the 200LX being
non-Y2K compliant.  I've heard that DOS versions prior to 4.0 were,
however, and that the cc:Mail app in the 200LX is not Y2K compliant.  I
think this is the first I've heard of a problem with Pocket Quicken.

In fact, in the latest issue of the Palmtop Paper (November/December
1998), Ed Keefe specifically states that all of the built-in apps are year
2000 compliant except for cc:Mail.

Here's one for the battery/power usage gurus out there.

Reading the manual, I see they suggest turning off the
palmtop if you are not acutally entering data or using the
processor, to save power. I developed a habit of hitting
the on/off key when pausing, thinking, going vacant,
cogitating, deliberating, and waiting.

Now, I have read (not in depth!) the SDK manual and
they state there is a battery power hit each time the
palmtop is turned on.

With an automobile, you need to idle for between 2
and 5 minutes before stopping and restarting the
engine is beneficial to fuel consumption, as the average
start takes more gas than 2-5 minutes constant idle. It
also pumps out more polutants in the first moments of
starting than at a constant idle.

Does anyone know, or can anyone work out, just how
long the time period is in the palmtop that would equal
the start hit?

Of course the variable of a memory card is a big factor,
as I have just started using a Viking 32meg card, which
is fast, but hungry!

Thanks in advance.

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

I recently bought a Targus CH300 Double-Wallet leather
carry case for my 200lx. Almost immediately I bought another
case (KiwiGreen) which I like much better. So away goes the
Targus. I am $45 US.

This case "accommodates all popular models of
Ýclamshell-style¨ PDAs and HPCs, plus PC Cards, disks, spare
batteries, credit and travel cards, pen, business cards and
a checkbook" according to the Targus web site description.
It has lots of pockets, that's for sure. But you'd be hard
pressed to put both a 3.5 disk AND a checkbook in it.

The case is held closed by a velcro strap. Opening the case
reveals on the left 7 card pockets, including one with a
"see-through" panel for picture ID cards, etc. There is also
a large vertical pocket where a checkbook could be inserted.

The right side of the case is a compartment for the PDA.
Once unzipped, this compartment will hold a pda up to 7.25 x 4 x
1.2 inches in size. My 200lx fits with room to spare, and my
320lx fits tightly but ok. The pda is attached to the case
via Velcro connectors in the way most cases do.

The quality of the leather case is typical of Targus
products. The case's condition is almost like new.
It's been lying on the counter collecting dust for a few
weeks. However, there are no signs of wear. I never used it.

This case retails for just under $80 US. You can see a
picture of it at www.targus.com/products/CH300.htm.

The first offer of $45 US gets the case, including USPS
Priority mail to the contenental 48. A buyer from elsewhere
will pay extra for additional shipping costs.

I use a double speed 6 megger with 20Meg Sandisk CF, I don't use
JAM or software carousel.   If I was to suspect anything it would be
JAM,
all I compress is my exe's with diet with no data corruptions
experienced.

You could send an email to Russell Hemery @ rhemery@powerup.com.au
as I believe he uses JAM, and just recently had a corrupted Flash card
(check this with him)

Lotus 1-2-3 version 2.4 will run just fine.  The WYSIWYG add-in, however,
I'm not sure about.  I know one thing: it uses too much memory to work

> Can anyone comment on charging NiMH in the Palmptop?

Ayup. I had Radio-Shack 850mAH NiCds, and when R-S got in their NiMHs I
upgraded, after enjoying the NiCds a couple of years. I forget the exact
alleged capacity of these, something like 1200mAH.

I handled 'em both the same way --- my 200LX (or 100LX when my 200LX is being
worked on:-) is my only battery charger. I take the brand new, stone cold
batteries, and put 'em in the HP while it's running on the AC adaptor. I
enable charging and go through a full charge cycle. Then I unplug the AC
adaptor and plug it back in, to get a second full charge cycle. This pretty
much topped off the NiCds; it does rather less for the NiMH's --- but that's
fine, because....

I run batset (available from S.U.P.E.R.) to set the "high-current" charge time
down the the shortest interval it supports, one minute. Thus after a quick
spurt, the charger in my HP is always running on trickle. And trickle-charging
is a low enough current that it doesn't damage the batteries even when they're
already full.

So I plug it in whenever I'm sitting at my desk at work, and I plug it in
whenever I'm sleeping at home. Works like a champ. The only time I fiddle with
batset is when I'm travelling. E.g. when I sailed the Newport to Bermuda race,
there was a stretch of about a week when I didn't get plugged in, so I gave it
a shot of quick charge.

Just for peace of mind, I keep a two-AA min-maglite loaded with single-user
Li batteries (the ones that last forever:-), in my bag, as my "emergency
spare" batteries. Haven't had to put 'em in my HP yet.

I've used a 95LX, long ago, and then a 200LX, and lately a 100LX (while I'm
working on the 200LX). In all that time I've not had a corrupt appt DB.

> I'm using Ý...¨ Software Carousel Ý...¨

And that's your problem. I've used all the rest of the SW suite you're using.

I expect you can probably use Software Carousel without suffering DB
corruption, but I'd recommend exiting the appt book app before spending any
time in another S-C partition; the HP DB apps really don't expect to have the
machine taken out from underneath them. For sure, if you crash your machine
while a db app is open, its file will likely be corrupt.

Hi All

In reply..

I have used Jam and 8 Meg DS for over a year and had 1 corruption of data
because of low battery. I dont use Software Carousel.

Early on I had some challenges because of filling my Jam drive to capacity
...But that is in the Jam docs as a potential trouble spot..Sooo..  I always
have a little space up my sleeve..

As far as Appointment prog...Is this the inbuilt one that you are using?
Have you cleared old appointments?  Any other TSR's??

Hope this helps

In general, it seems to me that Software Carousel can be used with
the Appointment Book open without problems.  The problems on my machine
arise when it crashes in another work area while Appointment Book is open.
Although it should be noted that the Appointment Book is particularly
sensitive to corruption... it is the only application you cannot start two
implementations of in two separate work areas, for instance.  So it's
probably a good idea to shut down the Appointment Book before switching,
just to be on the safe side.

There may be some settings in Jam that would minimise the chance of probs by
disabling write behind caching...Think this would help?

Hmmm.... if Jam is doing write-behind caching in the System Manager, that
could probably be trouble... I'd probably disable it before using Software
Carousel, yes.  Then again, I'm a little paranoid... <g>

I was just sitting here, running a backup to my 160MB Simple Tech
flashcard as usual, when XCOPY suddenly stopped and told me:

Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail?

I did retry and the backup continued as usual.  A few files later, though,
the same error came up.  So I stopped the backup and ran Norton Disk
Doctor 6.0.  It told me there were FAT errors and correct several
problems, then found several bad directories, and several thousand lost

I don't know what the problem is, but I find it deeply troubling...
anybody else experienced anything like this?

Perhaps you mean something different than I by "crash",
or perhaps it's due to Software Carousel, but I have my
Appt and Phone apps open 99% of the time, have had to
reboot (both soft and hard) my 200LX several times a
week over the last year, and have never had a problem
with either database.  I do not use Software Carousel.

Does anyone know a simple way to 'export' some of the 200LX phone book info

out, but I was hoping someone has already done this or something similar.

It's been a while since I played with 95LX stuff, but I seem to recall a 95LX
program called Notepad, or some such; it was kinda like the builtin phonebook
app, and as best I can recall could do file format conversion to and from the
builtin phonebook db format, as well as something reasonable to get to from
normal systems.

I just tried pulling it off S.U.P.E.R., and couldn't download --- there's a
bad link somewhere there. But I was able to find it at eddieÝ1¨, so I sucked
it down and tore it open, and sure enough, it claims to be able to read and
write 95LX phonebooks and appointment books, as well as text files. Combine
this with gdb102 (gdbdump/gdbload) and a soucon of perl, and you oughta be
able to send 200LX phonebooks to 95LX phonebook format.

I think that the only way is to use another program like dataperfect,
foxpro, paradox, pc-file, (which did I foreget? I'm sure some "fan" will
chime in). Each has its strengths and weaknesses. The only database
utilities I've seen involve either speeding up access and import/export.

One corrupted ADB-File in 5 years may be a mean value (I guess).

Where do you keep your ADB-Files? If its on your flash card - did you
check it with chkdsk? Use good power sources for a while - the write
cycle needs more current with flash cards as with usual memory.

Yup, 123 v1.0 - 2.4 will run, the help file is great, 4 times bigger than
the stripped-down one in the palmtop rom. Not sure of wysiwyg as
I never used it even on a desktop.

Freelance! Excellent program! I got my copy for $1.00 at a fair, and
have been blown away with it's useability on the lx. Most draw progs
need a mouse, but freelance if Fully keyboard usable. Mine came
with heaps of ready-to-use drawings, too. It also works well with
123, importing data and making graphs that you can work on
to your heart's content.

Likewise, but two add-ins I always have on my LX are viewer

You need more than 99 fields???

What kind of database are you building?

Sorry, you really can get no more than 4 pages. (Unless some
bright spark can suggest how to modify the burned-in rom code...

Try @base for lotus 123 which gives dbase functionality and seamless
integration into 123 or you could use dbase itself, but it is big and
needs memory and won't run in sysmanager as 123 with @base will.

@base will open files limited only by disk space. You can have literally
millions of records.

It is only 168k on disk.

Do you also plug this card into a win 9x machine?

If you do, some of the (so-called) long filename convention hidden
attributes can look like garbage to dos programs and when I used to
run Norton on my cards after they had been in my desktop (win 95)
they would show hundreds of volume names all over 45 gig each!!!

Now I only use a dos based file transfer (Rupp Fast Lynx 2.0) in a
dos box in win 95. It takes only seconds to do an incremental backup
of my 32meg Viking card.

Russell,

I have fully reinstalled a Laptop with Win 3.11 and upgraded it to Win 95 to
try to reproduce your configuaration but with no success.

I have followed the advice of another member of the list and SETVER JAM.SYS
to ver 7.00. This allows the driver to load but then I am unable to mount
the Jam drive (I get past the "Incorrect DOS version" message).
I have tried to run JMW.EXE (Jmount windows) but then I get various error
messages and can not proceed to actually mouting the drive.

Regards,

Yves Leurquin

P.S.I do not get the "Incorrect DOS OEM number" message

I'd try more add-ins also, if someone could figure out how to turn on EMS
support in the built-in 123 ("the

memory is not supported")...guess the other alternative is to run desktop
123 :(

Likewise, but two add-ins I always have on my LX are viewer

Have you been using it in a windows 98/98/NT machine?  I have this all the
time and have learned to NEVER use long file names or drop and drag to
copy stuff to and from my simple tech 8meg card.  And never delete
anything ever.

I now do all my file trnsfers using OS/2 or DOS.
However I back everything up using windows drop and drag with no problem.

Well, thanks to everybody who suggested things that might be wrong with
the card... unfortunately, I'm pretty sure now that it's a hardware
problem, as repeated fdisks and formats aren't fixing it.

Fortunately, it's under warranty for another four and a half years.  <g>

Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I'm in the market for a fast PCMCIA modem (faster than 14.4) to use on both
the LX and a notebook computer I just got.

I know the Simple Tech 33.6 Communicator is mentioned on David Sargeant's
website, but it seems to have dropped out of sight on the marketplace, at
least it's not turning up on several product sales sites on the web.

Does anyone know where I can still get one, or something similar that will:

     - run faster than 14.4k (I already have the XJ3144/XH1144 modems)
     - run on the LX using batteries (ie, sans AC) for at least a little
while
     - uses an X-jack scheme or something similar so that I don't have to
carry a custom cable/dongle

If you have a recommendation, a source of where to get it would also be
appreciated. Thanks.

First off, I just want to thank Rod  Whitby for taking over PNR, and compil=

DOS TCP stuff, He's done us all HP200LX users a big big service ! Thank-you=
 !!

and now to the help needed part :-)

I've setup both PNR, the LXTCP and DOS  PPP stuff, and I have been able to
read and reply a couple mail messages from the palmtop, so I guess everythi=
ng is
configured more or less correctly...

Trouble is, I'm getting way too many timeouts from the NNTP and POP clients=
, and
because of this I'm only able to collect one or two mail messages. No news =
articles up
to now yet.

The process of collecting mail or news starts ok, recognizes the number of =
new
messages to download and proceeds to download the first message or article,=
 then
after a few packets are received, I get a big pause then all the timeouts s=
tart appearing
for every subsequent message /article.

I've already put the SOCKDELAY=3D45 and WATTCPTO=3D45 in the
WATTCP.CFG file and I can't think of more tweaking to do.

Can anybody in the list point me in the right direction ?

Thanks in advance !

You can set up parallel databases, with related records linked by unique LINK
fields.

You can create macros for creating and retrieving related records to/from the
parallel databases.

For example:

  You can set up a PHONE database for basic contact information
  and a separate JOURNAL database for recording communications
  information with contacts.

  To create a journal entry, got to the PHONE database.  Select
  the record of the contact you are communicating with.  Then use
  a macro to automatically record the time/date of the journal
  entry in the PHONE record's NOTES field, open the JOURNAL database and create
  a new JOURNAL record with the appropriate entry in the LINK field.

Another alternative is the use a NOTES field to hold additional information.

Here are two thoughts.  I've once or twice had trouble with oddly
formatted e-mail messages and only been able to get past them by
deleting them from a telnet connection.  Have you had these symptoms
with more than one mailbox-full?

Second, perhaps your modem is not configured optimally.  What modem
and what initialization string are you using?

How about something called "DOSClip"?!  It's does just that, and it's

I experienced something kind of similar with my 32MB/2x 200LX, as well.
I was using a SimpleTech 33.6 modem, and if I stuck it and didn't wait
a sec or two before turning the LX on, it'd actually reboot and say,
"Exiting backup mode".  I figure that the added current draw of the
modem was enough to shock the machine into rebooting.  You could be
seeing something similar, but with a lower power 14.4, and the added

Yes, I have both the 20MB and the 44MB units.  The 20MB unit resides on
my old XT computer, and the 44MB one sits on my recently retired home

You need the Connectivity Pack software.  It includes versions of
many of the system manager applications that run on the PC.  I've
been able to get them running on many different PC's and OS's.

This is an interesting question.  I noticed one time that either
command 100 or 200 work on my HP200LX.  I, too, have searched
for either file (exe, com or bat) without success.  I suppose
that it's embedded in the CLI command.com.

200.com is nestled in d:\bin

You might be right about "100" tho, it doesn't appear as a file, so it
might indeed be buried in command.com.

There are also windows versions of the phonebook, calculator, and
appointment book applications.  At one time HP made them available for the
OmniBooks through CompuServe forum, but they seem to have removed them from
the library.

There is a 200.COM file in the D:\BIN directory.  It's only 5 bytes long, so
it probably just jumps to a routine in ROM somewhere.

I've been thinking about it, and I'm pretty certain that it's impossible
to implement something like everybody would like-- a utility to allow
copying from one DOS session and pasting into another via some sort of TSR
clipboard.  It might be possible to do a rudimentary version, but you'd
be limited to copying information that was on the screen-- since DOS
applications have no standard way of "highlighting" or "selecting"
information, the best you could do is allow the program to highlight text
information on the screen.  (Much like the way Windows 95/98 can copy
information off of the screen of a DOS application if you run it in a
window.)

Yours is not the first story I have heard over the years of
someone having trouble with corrupt files.  But I am not
convinced there is a bug in the built in software.  Since
getting my 100LX and now my 200LX for many years now, I have
never had a corruption of a GDB, PDB, NDB or ADB file.  I have
also been using Software Carousel since it first came out for
the palmtop.  I used to use Stacker but never tried Jam.

I am sure these corruptions a few people are seeing are caused
by something they do or don't do.  I doubt it has anything
specifically to do with Jam.  I very big danger with SC is
trying to open a SysMgr PIM file in more than one session -
that will certainly corrupt the first file opened.

Also, once you corrupt the ADB file, unless you make a new
file that is perfect, you can still have the corruption
burried deep in the file that will come out later.

The only thing I can think of that is common to the people who
experience frequent corruptions of the SysMgr PIM files is
that they tend to keep them open all the time.  I have to say
that I nver keep them open and I have never had a corruption -
I don't think that is a coincidence.  I open the file, do my
thing with it and then close it.  I have found that the time
to open and close the file is no longer than the time to swap
to an already open file.  So why should I keep it open and run
the risk of corruption?  And even if the open/close time was
longer, it is still not worth the risk of the corruption.

I have developed a SysMgr macro to make a backup copy of the
currenly open PIM application.  Although I have never needed
them, I always keep about 5 to 15 generational backups of each
PIM file safely tucked away in a backup directory.

Here is the macro I use:

{Menu}fca:\bakfiles\{Date}{Left}{Left}
{BackSp}{BackSp}{BackSp}{BackSp}{BackSp}{BackSp}
{Right}{Right}{Date}{BackSp}{BackSp}{BackSp}
{Left}{Left}{BackSp}{Right}{Right}
{Time}{BackSp}{BackSp}{BackSp}{Left}{BackSp}{BackSp}
{Left}{BackSp}{BackSp}{BackSp}{BackSp}{Enter}{Menu}q

Of course, when you use this macro, you will have to remove
the line breaks from it.  I use a directory a:\bakfiles to
hold the backups.  This macro uses the Menu File Copy feature
of each application.  Then it uses part of the current Date
and Time to make a unique file name for each backup.  The
extension (such as ADB) is put on the filename automatically
by the application.  So, lots of these backup files accumulate
in the BAKFILES directory, but I go in there every so often
and erase the oldest ones leaving about 5-10 backups in place.

I hope this helps.

Personally, I don't worry a bit about that kind of stuff.  I
have more important things to think about than squeeking a few
extra minutes of battery life between charges.  The only time
I turn the palmop off manually is when I know that I am not
going to use it for a while.  Otherwise, I let the palmtop
turn itself off.  Very simple.

Just keep the SysMgr PIM files closed when you swap SC

You cannot.  It is burried deep in the ROM and an XIP (execute
in place) program that requires SysMgr to be loaded and lots
of bank switching of the ROM to get to.  It would be easier
to wash the Empire State Building with a toothbrush. <grin>

I don't think this is the case.  A clever TSR could be invoked with a
hot key, and take control of the screen memory and cursor.  You would be
able to control the highlighting process, just like in a Windows 95/98/NT
DOS box.  Then the TSR would have the option of storing it to disk or
keeping it in local memory for a subsequent paste operation.  But with
SC running, and the desire to paste into other SC sessions, the disk
storage method seems to be the only viable option to me.

Now, I'm not volunteering to write such a program, and don't know if
one already exists or not.  I'm just commenting on the *feasability*
of such a TSR...

That's a thought.  But what do you mean you would be able to take control
of the screen memory and cursor like in a Windows DOS box?  When I copy
from a DOS box in Windows, I can only copy a maximum of one screen at a
time... pressing keys or trying to scroll to a new page in WP51, say,
causes the Windows highlighting to disappear.

That's what I'm concerned about: that there would be no way to clip more
than what's on the screen.

Well, if the TSR was loaded before carousel.exe, it should be accessible
from all work areas... but then you're probably wasting a big chunk of
memory for the buffer.  Probably better (especially on the ramdisk-based
LX) to just write it to disk.

Does anybody know how the copy-and-paste TSR that came with the desktop
version of SC worked?

     There was a utility called CutNPaste or SnipNSnap...or
something...that came with one of the last versions of the full DOS =
version
of SC. It required the full DOS 5.0 rev of command.com to work as I
remember...it chewed up alot of conventional memory. I think I may
still have a copy somewhere...I'll dig around when I get home.

I know that since my HP200LX does not have a color monitor, its battery life is
longer than other palmtops.  Does that same logic hold true for laptops?.
Would an LCD laptop last longer than a color laptop?

Has anyone noticed the unusual "palmtop" advertised on the HP website?
I was searching there last night (learning about scanners and inkjet
printers) when I stumbled upon this latest palmtop (if it can be called
such).  I couldn't figure out what OS it used, but it claimed to handle
e-mail, connect to various devices using IR, and had a built-in document
scanner you used by waving it from side-to-side above any printed page!

The press releases weren't very detailed.  Anyone have any more details
on this?

Color LCDs are generally backlit, which drains a lot of power.  The new
technology of "reflective color" LCDs, which work like the 200LX screen in
that they use reflected light, but in vivid color, are definitely a good
thing for battery life.  The new GameBoy Color uses this technology, and
from what I've heard the battery life is pretty darn good, considering
it's an active-matrix color screen.  The downside, of course, is that like
the 200LX, it can't be used in the dark.

Unfortunately, at this time, we don't have spares of anything that we

if you can get ahold of it, i believe sidekick has a cut/paste function

Did the artical state that cc:Mail will crash after Y2K or just loose some

All it says is that "the built in cc:Mail is not compliant, and Lotus has
no plans to fix it."  No details are given.  Perhaps we should ask Ed

I completely re-installed the CPACK programs, per one list member's

subtle setting, either in the registry or the parameters for the

Do you have the NT File System or FAT? If you have FAT, why not boot with
the good old DOS Boot disk and use it this way? I have a dual boot
configuration with Windows 95 and NT (the 95 for the games, and the NT for
the serious stuff).

But try the following: I had to edit the file config.nt and autoexec.nt
(they are in the \WINNT\SYSTEM32 Folder). You have to include the following
line:

SHELL=C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\command.com /E:1024

The /E:1024 is the urgent thing. But anyway I have a very nonstandard
system. Some weeks later the config.nt-solution didn't function any more. I
tell you: try it with a Boot Diskette.

I think you have to set your computers to the date 12/31/99 and the time
23:50. Then shut it down and wait for 15 minutes. After this reboot it. Make
the test after this.

There seems to be quite a number of members that either have or are u=
pgrading their palmtops to hace more memory. There have also been com=
ments with regards to using the memory. Well, I have been very happy =
with the emm200 driver. It works with maxdos to swap out sessions and=
 it is a free alternative to Software Carousell. Please do not flame =
me wrt SC. EMM and maxdos does not have all the nice features of SC, =
but it works quite well for what I need to do with my palmtop. The pr=
oblem with EMM200 is that it only works with the standard palmtops as=
 delivered from HP, and will not work on some of the later ones with =
more than 2MB. Well, I emailed Mr. Shimizu and he shared with me the =
following information. I posted it to the Murray at www.iinet.net.au =
and he may have posted this information there as well. Anyway, these =
are the steps using DEBUG that need to be completed to get it to work=
 on the expanded units. The following information was compiled from t=

                     EMM200 Patch for expanded HP200LX

This is a patch information for EMM200.EXE(Ver.2.00). All information=
 on
this page are subject to absolutely no warranty.You can apply this pa=
tch
for HP200LX/4-6MB model. It may work on the 8MB expanded model, but I=
 do
not know. This works for me.YMMV.If there is a kind soul that would l=
ike to
write an executable that could do this work without resorting to DEBU=
G, I
am sure that would be appreciated :-).

collect the patch from
http://et7alpha.et.u-tokai.ac.jp/~nshimizu/emm200_4m_patch.html

  1. Applying patch.
       1. rename EMM200.EXE to EMM200.BIN
       2. under the DOS session apply patch
             + debug < emm200_4m.pat
       3. rename EMM200.BIN to EMM200.EXE
  2. Installing
       1. You need to hassle with debug to get the patched version of
          EMM200 to work .

*Caution:

   * This patch needs to reconfigure your RAM drive(C:), all data on =
the C:
     drive will be lost during the installation of EMS paging area. B=
e sure
     to back up your C: drive!!
   * The debug commands to make EMS paging area depend on your 200lx
     configuration. I only have 2+4MB model at my disposal.My install=
ation
     went like this:

     The following debug command will show you the data to be
     modified.

     d9f00:0a,0d

     It shows following data in my 200lx/2+4MB before the paging area
     is created as:

     9f00:0000                    00 00 00 08

     I don't know about other models, but it may be something like
     following.

     9f00:0000                    00 00 00 10

     The first two bytes of the data represents the start address of
     the C: drive within the second SRAM chip in 200lx. If you want t=
o
     have 256KB paging area, offset the value with 256 in decimal or
     0100 in hexadecimal.Or if you want 512KB, 0200 in hexadecimal.Th=
e
     last two bytes of the data represent the length of the C: drive
     area with the second SRAM chip of 200lx. If you have offset of
     256, then you must subtract 256 from the length. In my case 0800
     - 0100 =3D 0700. Note that the first byte of the data is less
     significant byte, and the second byte is more significant one in
     the debug command.To set the offset and limit with debug command=
,
     enter following commands.
         debug
         o22,87
         o23,a0
         e9f00:0a 00 01 00 07
         o22,87
         o23,9f
         q
     Issue 'Initialize RAM Disk' BIOS call with debug commands:
         debug
         mov ax,ff01
         mov dl,1
         mov bx,0
         mov cx,0
         int 13
         int 3
         ¬c
         g=3D100
         q
     Reset the 200LX with ctl-alt-delete
     Check your RAM drive with chkdsk command.
     Transfer the patched emm200.exe from somewhere
     Make your config.sys include following line
         + DEVICE=3DC:\emm200.exe
     Restart 200LX
     Check with MEM command, whether it reports the availability of
     EMS memory.

Just passing on more accolades for the work by Rod Whitby to the list=

I had similar problems when I was using LXTCP to collect my mail whilst
visiting the US in September. I had set up a Compuserve account to allow =
me
to use local phone calls rather than dialling back to the UK, but I had
lots of problems with timeouts. I increased the SOCKDELAY to 60 which
helped, but it wasn't too good overall. I think it must be something to =
do
with the ISP, because the system works fine dialling into my ISP here at
home.

Subject:      High SPeed Modems

Members,

I have tried to read all I can about the higher than 14.4 modems. I have read that anything faster than 28.8 is a waste on the palmtop as it cannot use any more than 28.8 kbps of bandwidth. Is this correct?

Also, there is a site for WinCE devices (www.cewindows.net) that list current draw of some PCMCIA modems. On this list, it appears that the Hayes Optima 56 draws 131mA and the Accura 56k draws 165mA. From the list, these seem to be much lower in consumption than any others, and about the same as most 14.4 modems. Can anyone confirm that they are using one of these? Is it really faster than your 14.4/28.8? Are there any other low power 56k modems that anyone here has been able to use? As it is, even if the speed is not used, that the power consumption of these seems to be comparable to my XJ1144, it would be preferred over a more hoggy 28.8 device.

I understand that the cic100 may not be useful here, but I have been using lxcic and it seems to work perfectly with my XJ1144. BTW I use dosppp as my packet driver.

Thanks,

Keith Grider

So far so good. The future doesn't look so bad & the sky didn't fall either.
<g>  Software Carousel did something it hadn't done before (some kind of
optimizing routeen or something).

The only odd cc:Mail bug I see is that it doesn't display the proper msgs count
for messages stored in the folders (displays 0 messages) , but if I enter the
folder all my messages are there.

I used the cc:Mail admin utilities to create a cc:Mail Post Office on my
desktop.  Dialin.exe waits (on the desktop) for my palmtop to call and
exchanges msgs with the PO.  Export.exe extracts the PO msgs to an ascii file
while import.exe does the reverse.

The ascii files are opened by a Visual Basic app I wrote which puts/retrieves
the msgs to/from MS Outlook.  The VB app could work with almost any windows
mail app if a DLL for it exists.

I'm still experimenting with features.  I eventualy intend to have the VB app
accept commands via email and act as a ListServ type program.  I'm only limited
by my imagination .

thanx to all for you answer.
I download aol 1.6 for the hp and still

the thing is I have to subscrib to aol first.
Even it's free for the first month, I don't like the
idea to give then my credit cart number, and I need to
be  able to acces to my email from another provider.
I think I'll go withe compuserve.

again thanx for your help.

Actually, my Simple Tech 33.6 is alot faster than my XJ1144, both set for
57600 using Goin' Postal.  One BIG thing about >14.4 modems is that they
are alot more tolerant of line problems.  A 14.4 will typically lock up
if you pick up the telephone receiver.  A 28.8+ will tend to recover once
you put it back onhook.

Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII

Has anyone tried any of the old Digital Research GEM products? I have
been spending some time with GemDraw and find it is quite well suited to
the 200LX.  There are several other applications that use the GEM
interface (GemPaint, GemPublisher, GemGraph, etc) that should also run
on the HP with no problems. The Gem interface seems to be fairly
conservative both in its use of disk and memory resources.  Gem was also
the interface that was used by the early versions (through 3.0 for DOS)
of Ventura Publisher.

Many of the Gem applications as well as most version of the Gem desktop
can be downloaded at:

   http://www.devili.iki.fi/cpm/gemworld.html

There is also a file at the site that gives some good background on the
GEM products.  Interesting reading for those of us who prefer the
"simpler" times when software was less market-driven.

WARNING: When installing the GEM desktop files, make sure the disks have
the correct volume label.  For instance, version 3.10 will unzip to
three floppies with the volume labels: GEM  SYSTEM, GEM  SCREEN,
and GEM PRINTER.  (Make sure there are 2 spaces in the labels of the
first two disks.)  Without the correct volume labels, the setup program
will not accept the disks.

I didn't find that the volume labels made any difference in the GEM
applications.  You do want to make sure that you use the -d switch with
PKUNZIP to maintain the directory structure.

In either case, it wouldn't run on a PC, because the programs use
graphics calls (via Int 5F) specific to the display on the LX's. CGA
compatibility is apparently through emulation, but it's the Int 5F
calls that are native to the LX's.

Hello Russell,

I remember GEM, as a lot of OEM's included as a package
with their PC's

Which files did you download and install, and how much room
did they take up.

If you can live with a 2X zoom, there are two on SUPER that will do
that.  One is a TSR, the other is an EXM (System Manager compliant)
program.  Do a search of SUPER for "zoom" and you should find both.

Regarding Appointment corruption, I have found that low battery
conditions sometimes allow corruption to occur. When I used to use low
quality NiCads (shame on me) in my HPLX, I would get to the low battery
warning and keep on going. That is when I would get a corrupted
appointment file. I have never had a problem with keeping the
appointment manager open all the time, although having it open when the
low battery condition occurs could probably be the cause of my problem.
Since I have gone to the high capacity NiMH's, I haven't had any
problems!

Hi Liam,

Until recently, I knew nothing about GEM.  What piqued my interest was
learning that it had been a product of Digital Research, a company I
admired since they always seemed to be at least one version ahead of
Microsoft when it came to the DOS operating system.

I downloaded quite a few files from the site.  The only ones I have run
on the palmtop so far are GemDraw and GemPaint.  Both programs have an
APP extension (sort of like the EXM files in the SysManager) and so will
only run under the GEM Desktop.

A good file to get at the site is GEMNOTES.ZIP.  It has a short summary
of most of the GEM products.

Here is a directory listing of basic files that are necessary for
running GEM plus the two applications I have installed.  (For printing
to either a printer or to disk, you need another application called
OUTPUT that I didn't install on the palmtop.)

No where near.

With badly-written comm software (e.g. the datacomm app builtin to the 100LX
with its evil screen problem) you might see problems above 9600bps. Or even
lower, if the app is bad enough.

On a single-speed 100LX, the filer serial port protocol seems to get
unreliable at 38400, though up to 57600 the problems are still only
intermittent --- it'll get some files through. I.e. if the file xfer protocol
in filer were better designed and written, it'd recover from the occasional
lost bits. A clock-doubled 200LX with buckets of RAM, running no disk
compression software, doesn't lose data at 115200 often enough to bother me
--- though at that point, the machine on the _other_ end better be running a
well-written serial-port driver:-).

With better-written file xfer code, any LX should be able to run the dedicated
line at 115kbps reliably.

But to the _modem_, we've a very different picture: the PCMCIA slot is 4Mbps,
and it's reliable. The more speed the modem can shove over the phone line, the
faster you'll go. Unless of course you're using the builtin datacomm app on a
100LX, in which case you'll be throttled by screen updating:-).

Does anyone know how to issue the equivalent of FILER's GOTO/F5 command
in Transfile 200?  I miss this option terribly!  It was quite a time
saver for me normally.  Also, it could be my imagination, but TF200 seems
to run remarkably slower than FILER did on my desktop.  Have others
observed this, too?

This is a pretty picky question, but I'll ask anyway...

I downloaded Reversi to try it out on my LX. It seems to
work OK, except that when it first starts it asks if you want
to be Black. I say 'Y'es, but when the game starts up, I'm
playing White. If I want to play Black, I have to say I want
to play White, then I'll be Black.

Goofy, ain't it?

It only does this on my LX. When I run the game on my
desktop, it works correctly.

Has anyone else noticed this, or did I set up something
wrong?

Steve

never tried reversi, but it sounds like the HP is inversing the colors.
i'm guesiing this is a dos program.  hit Ýon¨Ý/¨ to inverse so your
getting white on black (like a desktop pc) instead of black on white.

I might add a couple of usage notes regarding GEM on the palmtop.

    1.  You will normally install GEM on the C: drive of your desktop
    machine before transferring the files to your palmtop (presumably
    the A: drive). It is helpful to use the DOS ASSIGN to reassign the
    drive letter C: to the A: drive.  Then switch to the C: drive (which
    is really the A: drive) before running the GEM.BAT file.  When you
    exit GEM, use ASSIGN again to revert to the default drive
    assignments.

    2.  The keyboard mouse might take some getting used to.  Use the
    HOME key to click and the END key for dragging.

I found another one. This one has no manual, but does have the five original

spare. $20 plus shipping.

Email me off-list if interested.

James,

I am using the current version of Arachne. When it is installed, it asks what graphics adapter is being used. It lists CGA (experimental) as one of the adapter types. The only problem with the CGA graphics is that the configuration pages sometimes do not see the text. I do not know why this is. This is not a great problem as the configuration is just a text file (with some comments) which can be edited in any editor. Once you get it up, you will want to 'speed it up', The standard distribution has an overlayed interface. The statically compiled kernel is on the arachne web site and is quicker, it is more of a memory hog and requires me to unload some tsr's to make room. It is my browser on the palmtop. Please, post to the list with experiences with other browsers. I cannot get bobcat to run, and there is not enough functionality with DOSLynx. I really need to initiate a search with the browser and follow the links.

There are two kinds of Email with CompuServe.  Their
"internal" Email system called CompuServe Email can only be
accessed by a program that uses the proprietary protocol
called HMI to access the service.  There is a program called
acCIS that is made for the 100/200LX that does a fantastic job
with this.  There is no WinCE program for HMI on CompuServe.

The other kind of Email with CompuServe is standard Internet
Email using a POP3 Server.  This Email can be accessed by any
computer and program that conforms to the POP3 client standard
such as Going Postal or Nettamer or WWW/LX Plus for the
100/200LX and desktop machines.  All of these products support
login scripts.  The only hitch with the WinCE machines' built
in software and CompuServe POP3, however, is that a script is
needed to log into CompuServe and so far WinCE does not seem
to support login scripts.

No, it is impossible to borrow the application programs out of
the ROM of the palmtop and use them elswhere.  The programs in
ROM are written in a special way to Execute in Place (XIP)
right from the ROM using a sophisticated bank switched scheme.

If you want the PIM apps on the desktop, that is what the
Connectivity Pack is - the phone, notetaker, data base, etc on
the desktop.

The highest baud rate you should use for a double speed
palmtop using a PCMCIA modem with a buffered UART is 38400
bps.  And that is about the proper speed setting for a 28.8
modem.  Personally, with the phone lines I have at home and
work, I usually only make a 24000 bps connection no matter
what kind of modem I use.

The point is that it is probably not work maying the power
consumption price for a super fast modem when you will not be
taking full advantage of it.

I have not used either of these modems, but the max current
the palmtop can supply to a modem is 150 ma.  So, the Optima
would probably work, but the Accura would not and could damage
the palmtop's power circuits.

CIC100 is the built in ROM program to enable modems to work.
LXCIC is a replacement driver written by a third party.
Whichever works for you is fine.  LXCIC has some nice features
CIC100 does not.

I used many of the GEM applications on my pre-Windows PCs.
They were pretty good. I have never tried them on my 100LX.
Good suggestion. I may give them a try. You are correct that
the installation process is rather unforgiving.

As far as being "less market driven". As I understand it,
Digital Research was IBM's first choice to write PC DOS, but
when the IBM folks showed up for their appointment with Garry

I've had the same problem, making the transition from Win 3.x/Win95 to
WinNT. Most of my former connectivity methods don't seem to work, or at
least I haven't worked out all the kinks yet <g>.

In the meantime, per another list member's suggestion, I tried Transfile
(from the HP website) and NT seems to like it well enough...at least it's
good for simple file transfers via a serial cable. Hyperterminal with the
Zmodem option is also a good route if you don't mind the extra hassle of
setting up both machines to send and receive (at least it's fast).

I'm thinking of trying out GEM after I get a new (bigger) flash card --
sort of a post-Xmas present to myself.

I especially want to try out the version 1.1 Desktop, which features the
variable resizable windows, positionable trashcan and disk drive icons, the
"Desk" menu (like the Apple menu) and nicer title bars, scroll bars, window
gadgets etc. It's infinitely cooler than the later versions that appeared
after Apple sued Digital over look-and-feel issues. Check out the
screenshot comparisons at: http://www.seasip.demon.co.uk/Gem/screens.html

The big question is: Can the version 3.x apps be used with the version 1.1
Desktop?

I copied zoom.exm to c:\zoom\zoom.exm & moreexm.com to

I created moreexm.ini in c:\_DAT per the example as

I modified autoexec.bat to include c:\moreexm\moreexm.com before 200 &

However, all I get is a beep when I push ÝALT¨+ÝF2¨.

What am I overlooking?

I'm sure you noticed the HUGE influx of new files lately to SUPER. We have
found some typos and bad links and those are slowly getting fixed. One thing
that is missing from almost all those new programs is a screen capture. If you
find yourself using one of these newbies, I would love to have a good capture
of the program to include in the SUPER pages.

If the program is EXM, Capsys works great. If it is DOS, CAPLX works well. Save
the files as GIF 87A and invert them (black becomes white), then email to me.

I think you know that with your help and support, we have built the best HP
palmtop software repository in the world (unless I've missed one somewhere).
With these added screen caps, we can make it even better.

Thanks in advance for any help you might offer.

not quite.  as near asi remember it, DR was offering CPM-86 as the
PC os of choice, but somewhere along the lines of a few hundred
dollars per license.  MS offered up ms-dos for substantially less
and became the default os.

this is a rather sketchy detailing, but a quick search on history
should turn up all the specifics.

NTFS is not the problem.  I have the Connectivity Pack happily running on an
NTFS-only machine.  It will connect through the Filer app with no problems.
As far as I can tell, it *won't* work with the LapLink Remote Access mode
because the version shipped with the Connectivity Pack requires pre-loading
a DOS TSR, which of course can't be done under NT.  So, you can't map your
HP drives to drive letters on the NT machine, but you certainly can transfer
files back and forth using the Filer app.

BTW, I tried the latest and greatest LapLink Pro for NT from Traveling
Software and couldn't get it to recognize the old LLRA on the palmtop either
...

If anyone has a way to run LapLink on NT and map drive letters, I'd
appreciate hearing it.

Here is how I install exm programs that need moreexm:

I first install the program under System Manager, then open the
apname.lst with Memo and cut the needed line and paste it in the moreexm.i=
ni.
Then delete the program for the System Manager.

So just for you I installed Zoom and here is the needed line to get it
work. But instead of ALT+F2 I used ALT+F3.

First skip making a seperate directory for Moreexm and Zoom. Just
create a c:\bin directory and move zoom.exm into it and move
moreexm.com and moreexm.ini into your c:\ directory and then
add the following line to your moreexm.ini re-boot.

add to your moreexm.ini
c:\bin\zoom.exm,6A00,1,Zomm

your line in the autoexec.bat should look like:

moreexm
200

BTW: If your using a flash card copy moreexm.com and moreexm.ini to your
a:\ directory.

Thanks to Mitch I now have zoom running (w/moreexm).  However, I now have

flash card IS inserted, I just get two low pitched beeps followed by one
higher pitched beep.

I have heard from Tim Olmstead that Caldera is in the process of
selling Gem to someone and he expects to be asked to remove it from
his site at:

http://www.mathcs.emory.edu/~cfs/cpm/gemworld.html

So if you are planning on getting any of these files, I would
download them now before they are gone.

The sale of Gem may mean new life for this old "gem" -

I noticed last night that there is a low sizzling noise near the AC jack on
my 200LX when the AC adaptor is plugged in.

Is this normal, or is something wrong..  :(  It runs off AC, charges, etc..
No extra heat and what not.  I'm really hoping it's always been there and I've
just never noticed it, maybe it's a DC to DC converter.  (Hoping here..  :)

If you've heard of this, or would listen to your LX on AC in a quiet
environment, let me know what you hear, or don't hear.  :(

Thanks.

If you mean a sort of buzzing noise, then yes, it's perfectly natural.
The power supplies in the 200LX make a buzzing noise when they're
delivering current.  You should hear the noise increase if you insert a
high-drain modem, for example.

 deal with tables or frames at all. I guess I could deal without fram=
es ( I have them turned off in arachne for speed...), but I really ne=
ed to be able to put information in a text box i.e. on altavista, in =
doslynx, there is not even a text windo to initiate the search. I am =
not a programmer, and cannot fix the code to do that. I can use it fo=
r browsing known sites or following links. Arachne has a couple thing=
s against it. I am using the xtat arachne kernel. It is faster than t=
he overlayed kernel, but is still slow on the 2x palmtop. The biggest=
 gripe is that some text does not show iin the browser window, the li=
nk is there and you can follow the link, but you have to use the (tab=
) key and read the link in the window at the bottom. This problem is =
most troublesome when you are try
ing to set the preferences in arachne. The arachne.cfg file is a text=
 file which I have edited in memo, but most of the text is not visibl=
e on this page no matter what color scheme you use. Please help if so=
meone has figured this out. If there is a better version of doslynx, =
please point me in the correct direction.

Thanks,

Keith Grider

According to "Fire in the Valley", Gary Kildall refused to sign a
non-disclosure statement requiring that he deny ever having met w/IBM,
and Bill Gates was willing to sign.  The book implies that that is what
made, at least initially, the difference.  Bill G. was always willing to
accomodate -- even when he provided the operating system for the RS
Model 100.

Has anyone used the Easy Cat serial touchpad with an HP 200LX?  Seems
to me one would need  the mouse driver and a proper serial-to-HP 200LX
serial connector.  Is such a connector available commercially, or
would one have to home brew it?  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Yep.. several of us use the Easy Cat with the palmtop.  You can get the
serial cable from the Connectivity Pack.  You also need to use a
null-modem adapter, since most of the serial cables for the palmtop are
already null-modem cables.  All the necessary hardware is included in the
Connectivity Pack, though you can probably buy it cheaper for your
purposes from Thaddeus (www.palmtoppaper.com) or maybe Shier Systems
(www.shier.com).

A word of warning: my first Easy Cat wouldn't work well on my double-speed
palmtop; it would only move vertically, and the mouse buttons would click
all the time.  It worked fine on my single-speed units, and also on the
desktop.  A new Easy Cat worked fine on all three.  Go figure.
