Hi friends,

in the last few days, I have totally renewed my home page.
Also a few things are added.
If you have bookmarks linking you to my old homepage, I recommend that
you delete them and rebuild them, because I modified the entire
directory structure of my home page.

So, if you are interested in my projects, such as the LED light,
gerneral serial port info, serial plug building, connecting cell phone
to LX, or if you are a diabetic and are interested in useing software
that helps you with you diabetes,
please visit

and enjoy!
There's also an article about and a few screenshots of Palmtop Circuit
(by DesignSoft).

Hi friends,

I'm just on my way back home to Berlin from Hannover. I visited the
Cebit (world's biggest Computer, IT, communications etc. exhibition)
and I want you to know a few things:

1. I had the chance to try to establish an IrDA connection betwwen a
Siemens S35i cellular phone and the HPLX. (I convinced a nice woman
who presented the S35i to lend it to me for a few minutes, so I had the
chance to try it ;-) ).
The S35i worked much better as an IrDA modem than the S25!
I used Post/LX / WWW/LX to establish the connection, and it worked at
the first try without problems.
After that I started RING.COM to watch the error rate, put the
telephone in the regular 'IrDA-distance' besides the HP and did a call.
First RING showed lots of errors, just as with the S25 (from 40 up to
approx. 150 EMI errors per second). But when the connection was
established, the error rate dropped to zero!

This does not mean that you whould run to the next shop and bu the S35i
when it'll be available! This is jsut a report of _my_ experience.
Maybe the circumstances were unusally good or something.
So if you plan to buy a cellular phone, you should try to get this one
of your choice for a few days to try it out. And if it doesn't do the
job, bring it back and buy another.

Another interesting thing about the S35i: It doesn't have a color
display anymore (the S25 has one). Maybe Siemens recognized that
their color displays aren't good enough to read. (too little contrast
in bad lightening conditions).


2. At the SanDisk stand I saw the 1.2GB ATA flash card. WOW!
It will cost 7000DM (abt. 3500 US$) here in Germany (it's not yet
available).
I wanted to test it in my LX, but the SanDisk staff said, they had none
of them in stock (only dummies). :-((


3. Bluetooth devices are also available for the serial port, so we
could even use bluetooth with the LX. They are little 'dongles', maybe
as large as a small MP3 player, connected to the PC's serial port by a
10cm long cable. They run on batteries.
The device I saw was made by Siemens and costs about 300 DM (=150 US$).
There are also bluetooth PCMCIA cards, but they probably drw _way_ too
much current from the LX's PCMCIA port. But this I don't know for sure.
But a great benefit of the serial device is that it don't seem to need
drivers! A PCMCIA card surely needs drivers, but the serial solution is
transparent, i.e. you can simply connect one device to one serial port,
and a second device to a second computer's serial port, and run the
usual RS232 protocol over the bluetooth connection. So you can use any
program you also used before, e.g. Transfile, LLRA or
Interlink/Interserver just as before.


So much for now, please excuse my bad English tonight; I'm very tired
after this hard day, and that makes 'thinking in English' very hard!

I'd never heard of the No Cash Gameboy Emulator until I read your e-mail, I tracked it down, (http://www.work.de/nocash/gmb.htm) and tried it out on my double speed LX.  I tried out the Starfight game that can be downloaded off that page, it was a little too slow for fun game play, but I suppose other games could work better.

Dear folks,

I am new to this list, forgive me if my question has been addressed in
the past.

I have had an 200LX for about 3 years now and love it. I am currently
living in Israel, and much of my computer work is in Hebrew. I know that

the .kit files include Hebrew support, but I find the editing
unsatisfactory, as all of the justification is still on the left, with
the Hebrew typing "pushing" to the right. Primarily I want to type
simple letters on the palmtop. Is there a better way to do this?  Also,
where can I get a Hebrew overlay for the keyboard?

Thanks for the help,

Jeff Shames

Thanks for doing the job with nettamer.

Do you also often get the error message 'couldn't load the page this time

or similar? Everytime I follow a link from the first side I accessed
with digitalpaths, I get this error message. I'll contact the support
regarding this problem in the next days.

How does the Compact Flash (with an adapter) compare with using a straight

Does anyone know of a good supplier in the UK?

Unfortunately, I tried MODE BW80 first. Despite this,  I can see the palmtop's
screen change shade (indicating that it has gone into color text mode) somewhere
in between the couple of taps of the spacebar I need to get SPELL.EXE going.

I guess something like this is to be expected when I try to use executables in
ways the manufacturer never intended <grin>. At least CGAHELP works.

Thanks anyway!

I have an 8 mg DS 200LX.    I have been using ABC/LX battery charging with
nichael cadmium batteries for about 6-8 months.    I have been very pleased with
the software and batteries but I may be developing a problem.

Shortly after installing ABC/LX, I noticed the screen became dim while charging.
I could increase the contrast and things came back to normal easily.     However
recently, the screen appears to be dimming without charging and it is almost
impossible to get a good contrast setting.     Is my 200LX developing a more
serious problem?

Now approaching 50, I also realize the problem may be with the operator and not
the 200LX but I will try to leave that for last after I read some of your
considered opinions.

Werner,

The 200LX uses an IR protocol that pre-dates the IrDA standard used on many
modern devices (I believe the LX version is known as SIR ... for Serial Infra
Red).

The SUPER site at http://www.palmtop.net/supernew.html should have some printer
drivers for the LX that may be of help.

I don't print much from my LX, let alone using an IR LaserJet, so I don't know
much in the way of specifics, but maybe another member does.

I did formerly print from an HP Deskjet 560C, using a JetEye IR printer adapter
(that I think was SIR enabled), and all that was needed on the 200LX was to make
sure IR printing was set as default (Setup/F3/Interface/Infrared).

manufacturers are no longer in that business.  They just couldn't
sell enough.

Microsoft is supposed to come out soon with a re-write of WinCE that
will make it simpler to use and more robust.  From some articles
I've read, hope for the success of that is the only thing that's
keeping WinCE going.

I switched to Sandisk 48mb CF after a long line of PCMCIA cards (last being 40mb
Simple Technology).  The Sandisk CF was not only more power efficient (batteries
lasted longer), but also ran faster (simple benchmark testing confirmed this).

I use the CF card with an adapter made by Simple Technology, tho that choice was
dictated solely on price.  I don't believe the choice of manufacturers is
significant in regards to the adapter (not having tried but one, I could be
wrong).  I'm sure the various CF types out there will vary greatly in
performance, so my experiences are limited to the Sandisk 48mb CF.

I did also have a Panasonic 2mb CF and a Simple Technology 16mb CF, but they
were mostly for camera use and I only confirmed that they worked OK in the LX,
without really testing for power and performance.

Sorry, I don't know UK.  And all my flash cards and CF cards have been usable
out of the box, without the need to load drivers on the LX ... I believe this is
true for all but some older PCMCIA flash cards,

How does the Compact Flash (with an adapter) compare with using a straight
Pcmcia card in terms of drivers, power drain etc? I would like to go the
compact flash route.

Does anyone know of a good supplier in the UK?

Joe,

I charge my NiMH regularly using ABC/LX also, and see the same dimming (all
200LX users will, during charging).

Dimming without charging sounds like something else is wrong... and yes, it
could be the operator.  One thing would be to remove the unknown of what the
contrast setting is at by forcing it to a fixed level.  I include the LXSTAT
command (from SUPER) in my autoexec.bat:

     lxstat N d c 22

This tells the LX:
- I'm using rechargeables (which if forgets sometimes during lockups/reboots)
- sets the display contrast to a fixed level (lxstat sets this from 0-31, and I
chose 22 as a good level for me).

You could run this command periodically to set the contrast at a reference
level.  If it's still dim, this won't tell you if it's the LX or your eyes, but
at least you'll know that the setting is at a known point.  Play with this when
the display looks good, then maybe get another pair of eyes to confirm it.  Next
time it looks dim to you (but not after charging), rerun the lxstat command to
set the contrast level and see if your eyes and your partner's agree on the
dimness.  If you both agree, then the LX might have a problem.

Another thing to consider is that ABC/LX can turn on your charging when you
didn't realize it.  When the screen suddenly looks inexpicably dim, feel under
the bottom of the LX, on the right side.  If it's warm, that's the reason for
the dimness (it is, or was recently, charging).

I have an 8 mg DS 200LX.    I have been using ABC/LX battery charging with
nichael cadmium batteries for about 6-8 months.    I have been very pleased with
the software and batteries but I may be developing a problem.

Shortly after installing ABC/LX, I noticed the screen became dim while charging.
I could increase the contrast and things came back to normal easily.     However
recently, the screen appears to be dimming without charging and it is almost
impossible to get a good contrast setting.     Is my 200LX developing a more
serious problem?

Now approaching 50, I also realize the problem may be with the operator and not
the 200LX but I will try to leave that for last after I read some of your
considered opinions.

This is reminiscent of James Stewart's multiple attempts to start the airplane
on "Flight of the Phoenix" ... they're down to the last starter cartridge needed
to fire the engines, in order to leave the desert.

Ironically, like WinCE, the airplane in that movie was made from the
cannibalized parts of an aging oversized freighter that crashed. The allegory is
priceless.

But nonetheless, I do hope they get off the ground.  I like good endings <g>.

have a need for a 500 meg card, but I am not willing to
spend a small fortune on one.  If they could get below the
$500 mark, I might go for one.  For what I need, a 400 meg

As things now go, I think I'll have to wait for prices to

Yep, they run, but most of them are too slow.  Dr. Mario is pretty
fast, but its hard to play because it needs a color display.
Tetris 1 is very playable, and Mario 1, though a tad slow, runs.  Go
into the setup of the No Cash Gameboy Emulator and change all the
settings to what will run fastest (ie, no sound, small display, etc).

Dr. Furlan,

I have one of these at work. It prints nicely. I use two
different sets of drivers to print to it. One set for the
internal apps another for DOS apps like WordPerfect.

For DOS apps you want the Jeteye drivers from
http://www.thaddeus.com/ftp/dj346en.zip

For the Internal apps your want the IRDA  drivers from
http://www.thaddeus.com/ftp/irda097.zip

If the docs aren't clear on setup, email me and I'll walk
you thru it.

If using WordPerfect you add the HP Laserjet 4000 (PCL)
driver for wordPerfect as well as the jeteye driver.

I just priced one for a customer a 512M Type 2 $1150.

This may or may not be a small fortune. Depending :-) For
application I priced it for it is "a few coins". My
customer puts together about $4000 of hardware and a
program that took 2 years to write and sells it for
$75,000-125,000 EACH! He can't keep up with the demand. He
sells it at the low price price when it is a desktop and at
the high price when implemented on a 200LX! <G>...

You'll probably have to wait for 2 years for that price
range.

Sandis has a 440MB which Thaddeus sells (with the Ace
Driver which makes it work on the Palmtop. Their price is
$1199, I believe.

BTW, the 440 works just fine. It is a bit slow when opened
with Filer, because Filer reads the whole structure of
directories. I experienced a similar slowdown when I went
from a 40MB to a 160MB. When I say slowdown I mean a little
over 1 second at most.

I am sure they make a profit. It is probably quite slim,
and they were all hoping for huge numbers to make it
worthwhile. You know how it is: $10 profit per machine (I
speculate, I do not know the real number) if multiplied by
2 million is a nice chunk of profit. if multiplied by
200,000 it is ok, but not anything to be promoted for! :-)
...

I believe what still keeps them in the game is all the
pundits saying that the "real popularity" of handhelds is
around the corner - that it is not yet with us, that it is
coming. So as long as they do not lose money on a sale AND
there is an expected GROWTH In sales, it is worth making
it. I am sure they go so long, then quit (as Phillips and
others did already.)

Yeah, right. MS always has another version in the hopper.
They kinda have to. WinCE has grown to over 8MB and if you
compare what the O/S could do in itse version 1.0 when it
occupied 1 or 2MB and what it can do in 8MB it is puzzling!
There is not much advance compared to explosive growth in
size.

Alpha and Beta testers who test only that machine love the new
WinCE. But they have little to compare with. There is a
group of such testers who use other machines (200LX, Psion,
PalmPilot) and they are not so enthused. It is more of the
same. Some items are better, others are worse, some curious
omissions, some unintelligible additions.

Believe it when it is in your hands and using batteries,
not a moment before! :-) ...

Joe,

First, ABC/LX does not mess with the screen.

Secondly, the LCD screen has a temperature sensor so the
machine can change the contrast when the temp goes up and
down. (This is the nature of LCD screens, they change
directoin when temps change and so polarity must be changed
to make them viewable again.)

When the batteries charge, the circuit gets warm.
Unfortunately, the location of the sensor is too close to
the circuit and this affects the sensor and consequently
the screen is adjusted (falsely).

As to the "independent" occurance without cahrging -
probably the machine went from one temp to another rapidly?
Or maybe you took it out to the sun?

If all else fails, you may want to shut down all the
applications, make a backup at this occasion, then reboot
the machine cold and reply NO to the reformatting
(initializing drive C:) question. This may help reset
anything that may be amiss. But not guaranteed.

Some people have also tried the battery pulling, but that
is more radical and I do not recommend it unless you are
comfortable with restoring your machine, drivers and all..

Folks,

I purchased a copy of Puma's IntelliSync for my 200lx some
time ago. At the time I couldn't get it to work and for
various reasons didn't put a lot of energy into it.

Recently I've been trying again. I can use the cable and
transfer the replacement laplink module, and then that will
run but the IntelliSync it self won't see the Palmtop.

Main reason I'm playing with it is to link with Schedule+.
I know, odd. But there is a reason for my madness. I ended
up with my wife's Velo1 when we moved her to a Palm Pilot. I
want to be able to Sync it with my 200lx. When getting it up
and running I discovered the version of Schedule+ that came
with the Velo1 includes the Covey Seven Habits tools!  Being
a big fan of The seven habits books, I was delighted.

The machine I'm using is an Old Thinkpad 360cse 2.1 gig HD,
36 meg Ram. Running Windows95. The free Transfile works fine
on it. No problem seeing the HP. Same Machine, when booted
to OS/2 Warp 4 will connect fine using Linkright.

so Anybody have any ideas?

I have a Swap Box Classic. The documentation suggests that drivers are not
required for WIN95/98. I let WIN plug-n-pray do the installation and the
device shows up as installed. I can even see if a card is installed and
turn off the card (before ejecting it).
I tried it with the WIN3.1 drivers and it seemed to work better but
conflicted with a modem I had just installed.
So I do have the swap-box driver disk.
Let me know what the best way to send it to you is.

technology is the answer,
what was the question?

Seeing as there is some interest in this (myself included),
I've added a page on the subject of the Game Boy emulator to
my site. On it, you can find info on where to download it and
what settings (I reckon) work best.

Go to http://games.hplx.net/features/gameboy.htm to find out
how to turn your expensive LX into a slow Game Boy!

If anyone does have any tips/tricks for speeding the thing
up, or knows of any games that actually work well without
needing the 486 motherboard upgrade(!), please let me know
that so I can post the info up.

Just thought I'd mention this in case anyone noticed anything peculiar on their
200LX today, the day after our unusual "once in 400 years"  Leap year.

My daily appointments always have an entry for 1:00am which triggers my nightly
backup.

I opened my LX this morning (3/1 around 7am) and noticed that my AppMgr screen
showed apps highlighted ... my nightly backup usually closes all apps before it
starts the big pkzip operation.

I went to Appt to see why the backup didn't run, and the calendar showed March
1, 2000 and the 1am entry for the backup was there... then the backup started by
itself!

Too weird.

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

Hi Folks, I have a question about the nature of the Crusoe
chip by Transmeta. I realize not many peopl have seen it
:-) and even fewer used it :-)))

I read that does what they call code morphing which means
they the software translates x86 instructions to the native
Crusoe hardware instructions. This hcip has what they call
VLIW, very long instruction word. Further, that because of
these they can replace chips and transistors with more
software. This results in lower battery utulization.

How? Why? If they use the software more intensively to do
the translation doesn't that use the cpu? I can see the
following logic: A cpu with 500,000 transistors etc, uses
less power than a cpu with 5,000,000 transistors and so on.
But: The 500,000 cpu can do also a LOT less smart work, and
may have to work many more times just to achieve the same
"smarts". So where is the savings? TIA for any explanation.

Avi,

My understanding is the Crusoe is more of a ZISC (zero instruction
set chip) than Risc or Cisc designs... The idea is that the Crusoe
doesnt really have highly evolved hardware instructions but instead
is optimized for running software based instruction sets, meaning
much fewer transisters are required than existing designs translating
to less power and less heat from its use.   This would also mean that
the processor is less 'translating' Wintel instructions to its own than
running the Wintel instructions via the instruction set previously
downloaded to the Crusoe chip, its a different way of looking at
processor independence.

There are other benefits as well, in that the CPU can be upgraded
or reconfigured for different platforms... imagine being able to reinstall
your CPU's instruction set to conform to a different platform, say to
run Mac OS instead of WinTel... Kind of a nice feature if it works in
production units... I could see it evolving further down the line with
cached instruction sets allowing 'at boot' configuration of your processor
between different platforms.   Eventually (im talking star trek here) it
might even be possible for applications to carry their own cpu spec
so any hardware could run any application/processor package.  But
thats definitely in the future just an interesting thought to run down.

Well enough of my babbling, back to your regularly schedule listserv.

There is a program named qtext which will allow you to do Hebrew on the HP.
There is a free DOS version. I can't remember where I found it, but if you
cannot locate it by doing a search, lt me know. I'll see if I still have a
copy that I can email you.

I don't think you can get much done with zero instructions. :-)
As far as using a translation layer between the programs and the
instructions that the processor uses that is exactly how RISC
works. Basically the processor only knows a few basic things to
do, and you add a layer on top of that that makes the processor
look like it knows how to do lots of things, then you write your
program (or design the output of your compiler) to use that set of
instructions. RISC processors usually have very high core speeds
and execute their instructions sometimes several per clock cycle
but because of the layer on top of them you end up about where
you started. All of the WinCE machines use RISC processors that
work exactly that way, a general instruction set layer on top of the
reduced instruction set layer and applications (and the OS) are
compiled targeted for the generalized layer. That is also why a
WinCE machine with a 133Mhz processor is no where near as fast
as a CISC machine with a 133Mhz processor. Do the WinCE
machines really seem 10 times faster than the 200LX?

The problem with the idea of loading a different translation to run a
different code base is that all the other hardware is not in the right
places either. The only advantage that the RISC chip, and that is
all the Crusoe seems to be for all the hype, is that it can be made
to look like another chip. So a company could make MACs and
PCs using the same processor, but differnent motherboards and
hardware. Saves stocking different chips and makes the one chip
have a bigger market. Personally I will believe all the marketing
hype surrounding the Crusoe when someone actually comes out
with a product using it and it can be compared to some other
product using a more normal CPU.

Pete

PS. Of course what will actually happen is that Transmeta
(Transmedia?) will put out lots of hype then have its stock IPO, all
the principles will get very wealthy and then the company will
disappear, probably caused by some unforseen glitch in the chip. :-)

Hmm...  I hadn't thought anything about it until I saw Longden's
message, but my 6 am wake up (Jorgen Wallgren's HPAlarm) didn't
go off until I hit the on button (or was it the Appt key) about
6:30 this morning.

I think you may be on to something.

Before buying my first compact flash I read the specs on the Sandisk

give the same specs for both.  That's a couple of years ago and I

I do know that my 40 meg Sandisk compact flash has made no

Let's hope the ending is better than the Flight of the Phoenix.  If

Maybe.  I just wanted to mention this in case some of you had some critical

I wasn't predicting their new WinCE would succeed.  They're going to
have a hard time competing with Palm, which has a simpler and faster
system with good battery life.  And Palm pretty far out in front
now.  I suspect this is one that Microsoft is going to lose.  But
they've got a lot of resources available so who knows.

As for making a profit,  Phillips and several others probably
decided their money could earn more elsewhere even if they were
making a few bucks.  It's one thing to hold out for a huge return
when handhelds get really popular.  But that only makes sense when
your product is in the running.  I wouldn't be surprised to see some
of the former WinCE hardware producers come out with Palm licensed
devices in the future.

I think we'll all agree that the 200lx is a better machine than
either one of them.  It has more powerful apps built in and much
more powerful software is available.  It's a powerful machine for
the person willing to learn to use it.

But the Palm is a powerful machine for people that don't bother to
learn to use it.  I spent 20 or 30 minutes with mine and knew pretty
much all it could do.  I haven't seen tips columns in magazines for
the palm, or lots of tips in the newsgroups.  Everybody that uses
one knows exactly what it will do and how to make it do it.  No
skill needed.  Very little to explore.  You just use it.

And I hardly notice it in my pocket.  Today I hadn't intended to
bring it with me but I forgot to take it out of my pocket and the
day was half gone before I realized I had it.

Since I started wearing suspenders I can't carry the 200lx in my
pocket anymore.  It's too heavy and the suspender on that side
stretches so that my pants almost fall to my knees.  My pants
actually bounce up and down as I walk.  I don't have a belt to hook
a case onto.  It's liable to fall out of my shirt pocket if I lean
forward too much.  I'm looking for a helium filled pouch for it.  :)

i think the palmtop market will follow the pc - bigger and faster at the
expense of flexibility and ingenuity

a text file of  say 100 bytes needs 18000 as ms word file resulting in the
need to produce larger storage devices, and forcing the consumer to upgrade
= money for the computer industry

so, money is what killed the 200lx

if we can keep it alive, there may be hope: According to Ian Pearson of
British Telecom, writing in the latest issue of The Futurist magazine,
"computers (will) surpass human learning and logic abilities" by 2011 and by
2020 "electronic life-forms (will be) given basic rights". Yes, that's
"basic rights" meaning some kind of human rights/right to life.

That's been done already. Back in the 70's and 80's Burroughs had a
machine range called the B1700/B1800/B1900 which had bit addressable
memory. The basic CPU was microcoded and applications were compiled to a
n intermediate instruction code which was implemneted by an interpreter
on the hardware.

Each language (COBOL, SDL (algol like) etc) had their own specific
instruction set defined and when the OS would invoked the appropriate
interpreter to exectute the code.

Of course the systems were huge (and expensive) by todays standards but
it would be interesting to see how a similar architecture would perform
implemented in todays technology. I am not familiar enough with the
Transmeta technologies to say how close they have come to this.

Just shows, there's nothing new under the sun ;-)

I use a 20Mb CF in my HPx2-200, no noticable additional power
drain, advantage is that I can also pop in my 2Mb CF from my
canon 350 digicam and transfer them onto any computer. As
I always carry a floppy with Tranfile200 and the serial cable.

This saves having to install the bulky 5meg! Canon Powershot
software.

My advice go CF, SanDisk seem to have the best reputation
my CF is Sandisk, bought it cheap from the USofA.

In case you haven't seem them already, there are some

The overwhelming consesus seems to be - go for the compact flash. One
question though, can you boot from a compact flash card?

Another question, I have seen various compact cards doing other things like
ethernet, modem etc. Does anyone know of any drivers for these devices on
the 200lx?

Thanks, this is a great newslist!!

Here's yet another instance to add to the list.  For years I have used my
200LX as my alarm clock; that way I don't have to remember to turn an alarm
off after waking up Friday morning, and then back on Sunday night.

Yesterday morning I had a very similar experience to yours... I came awake
on my own about 45 minutes after my alarm was *supposed* to go off.  After
rushing to get to the office, I flipped the 200LX open and hit the
appointment button to see what had happened.  Immediately, my 5:15 AM alarm
went off!

I concur: Too weird.

You know, now that you mention it, I had something similar
happen.  I try to remember to close all apps, before I go to bed,
and yesterday, when I opened my calendar, my nightly backup,
which is scheduled to start at 12:00 A, started all by itself.  I
didn't under why, but I let it run its course.  I didn't have to
chance to see if the backup had taken place, prior to this
strange thing happening.  I have not had this ever happen before.

Barry,

Could you please follow the list directions of changing the
subject lines, when replying to digested posts.  When posters do
not change the subject line, it makes it very difficult to sift
through what posts the users are going to read, plus anyone
searching the archives would have the same problem.

You posted four messages in a row, that all had the same digest
heading, and they were all replies to different subjects.  Thank
you.  See the list guideline if you have any questions.  (Your
welcome David!)

I not sure what you are refering to.  I had posted that I have
all my DOS 5.0 files, stored on one flash card, for conveinence
sake.  This should not be confused with a single floppy disk,
which there is too much data to put onto one floppy disk.

If I recall, there was like 3 or 4 floppies that the original
DOS 5.0 files are on.  I had owned mine from using DOS 5.0, way
back, when having a 40 meg hard drive, made you really something
special.

I would not think MS is allowing DOS 5.0 to be downloaded
anywhere for free.  Problem is they most likely don't sell it
anymore either.  There has been the discussion on this list, in
the past, about the legality issue of us obtaining the full
version, because we already own a license for the reduced
version of DOS 5.0.

Some feel you have the right to get a full copy from someone
else that has it, and some feel you do not.  I am sure not
meaning to start that thread all over again.  I would think that
the full version is still for sale, somewhere on the net, like
recycledsoftware.com, or something like that.

Just keep a few good LXs around till some
thing betta this way komes.  Like LX with
96 MB, 2X, with big flash kards 120-440MB.
Two or three shd last ten plus years and
kost as much as wat NEW replacaements wood
kost.  If something komes soona, no big loss.

Subject:      Long Live 200lx

I am much more comfortable with the future of the 200lx after reading
this month's Wired.

Wired ran an article about retro-computing devotees.  The Tandy Model 100
(billed as first laptop) was introduced in 1983 and some 700,000 units
were produced during its short life.  Even so, they are still easily
available today in mint condition from several 'net sellers.  You can
even get a brand new Model 100 that has been sitting on a shelf for 20+
years.

The HP200lx is, at least, as useful as the Model 100 and surely was
produced in numbers similar to the Model 100.  I've relaxed my search for
a replacement.  I'm sure it will be around for a few more decades.

The downside, however, is that the Model 100 fans say nothing since has
come close to a replacement for their beloved machine.  We probably won't
see anything better than the 200lx either.  We are either monogamously
committed to the 200lx or it is the pinnacle of palmtop computing.

Yes.  Aside from performance differences (if any), CF and PCMCIA flash are
indistinguishable to the LX.

The LX has its own built-in modem driver (cic100) and there are several others
available including the excellent LXCIC at the SUPER site.  Whether they will
work with CF modems, I don't know ... I don't see why not.

The choices of ethernet cards is limited by the high amount of current they
usually require compared to the 150ma limit of the LX slot.  Only a few PCMCIA
network cards are known to work with the LX.  You may want to check out the FAQ
at David Sargeant's website -> http://www.hplx.net/faq.html

I'm not sure that I've ever seen a mention of a CF ethernet card working on the
LX, nor would the WinCE drivers work even if the card were power compatible.

Looking at the Socket Compact 'Flash' Ethernet card, says it only draws
40ma, so the power is now problem (it seems). It looks just to be an issue
of drivers. Anyone a driver programer??

The modem dial the number and send out username, password and when

Hi Mike,

Thanks for including me in your Gameboy page.
My name and e-mail is "Ted Peterson <ted@nicar.org>".

I've deleted all games that run too slow, and here is a list of games
that I've found are the most playable:
 Chopper 2
 Contra
 Dr. Mario
 Mario
 Tetris 1

Dr. Mario is a tetris-like clone.  See a review at:
        http://www.vgf.net/users/gbmono/reviews/revdrmario.htm
It was my favorite Nitendo game, but it's pretty hard to play well on
the 200LX because it needs a color display.

I have my emulator setup as follows:
game system (resets game):  standard gameboy (fast)
emulation speed, lcd refresh:  double speed, auto
emulation speedup:  fast title screen execution
sound output mode:  none (fast)
sound script file:  none
sound mixer volume: 13
sound desired sample rate: high (44khz) (best)
sound ac/dc (mono only): nope (fast)
display colors: lcd shades
display sgb/cgb colors:  monochrome
display size: small window
display background/resolution: background gif (320x200)
display redraw mode: whole screen (fast)
display swapping: none (on all vga, dirty, fast)
number of emulated gameboys: single machine
machine link strategie: disabled
performance indicator: timing relative to real gmb
powerdown (alt-x): undelayed
debugging functions: debugger enabled

My keys are mapped as follows:
up: 7
down: x
left: k
right: 6
button A: c
button B: v
select: space
start: enter

Hope this helps somebody. :)

Cheers,
  Ted

Well, if you mean using an LX to a server that you usually access from Outlook (which will usually be an MS-exchange server) then I use just use Going-Postal, but any of the POP mailers you will read about on this list will have devotees.  It does require whoever runs the server to have enabled POP3 (in fact I rather think they have to disable it to stop it).

Test it by using a TELNET connect to port 110 on the server you are set up for (look in the properties for the service...right click the icon you use in W9x/NT, and grub around).  If it says 'hi there' or MS words to that effect you are in business.  FWIW it's a handy way to read your mail very fast from almost anything that has TELNET, if you trouble to find out the POP commands.

What's this got to do with the title of your mail?

It is a stock behaviour prediction system. I was involved
in one of those several years ago using 100LX (then 200LX)
and this project is a follow-on. Obviously you are paying
for the wisdom and smarts and experience of this person.

The buyers are certain brokerage houses and invenstment
banks. Obviosly the price tag discourages most of us

But they do have a switch to only accept and compile ANSI-C code, so in
effect, Borland C++ is probably a better C compiler than Turbo C because
TC 2.0 IIRC was not fully ANSI compliant (while BC++ 2.0 claims to be)

It would be really nice of Borland/Inprise (now actually Corel, it seems)
to release BC++ 2.0 to the public as they have done with Turbo C and
recently their C++ compiler for Windows.

If you're only interested in reading guides in Nortin Guide format, then
there are free programs that can do this on Simtel. You might also be able
to find NG compatible programs (for compiling guides) there.

Avi,

I have not spent any time looking at the Crusoe chip but the
descriptions I have read make it sound like it is a hardware variant of
the technology in FX-32 a product Dec released to enable its Alpha cpus
running Nt to optimise X86 binaries. What FX-32 did (does?) was
translate X-86 instructions to alpha instructions. Nothing remarkable
about this _but_ while the machine has ideal cpu cycles FX-32 would go
and look at the X-86 executables and `rewrite' them using alpha
instructions. The next time you run the X-86 code FX-32 would actually
run the alpha binary it had generated from it. Every time you ran X-86
code FX-32 would watch and continuously improve the efficiency of the
translation process. I have an early Alpha machine and it was quite
remarkable to see programs get faster with each time you used it - up
to an order of magnitude faster. It really worked. I use past tense
because this machine `died' last year however just recently I succeeded
in resurrecting it - a dead internal battery causing corruption of
memory contents was the problem!

Incidentally a two year old 600MHz Alpha cpu still has a factor of 5
greater floating point performance than the latest 800MHz X-86 cpus.

GaryS

Wow!  So, the LX is now a virtual crystal ball!  Cool!  But wouldn't it be cheaper just to flip a coin?  Seems that would work just as well in predicting behavior of stocks!  ;-)

Qtext version 2 is available from Hebrew University's site.  If you cant
find it there I can send it to you, along with the Appmanager Icon I have
for it.

There is no keyboard overlay for Hebrew for the HP200, but what i did is to buy
2.5mm rub on letters from Office depot and place them to the left of each key. It is a bit of work as you have to cut out each letter separately and hold them
down with a pin while you rub them with a pencil. This looks really good if you
take care to do it right.

If you are going to use Hebrew in the phone book, be careful, the searching
and sorting features do not support Hebrew. I have the names in English
and addresses in Hebrew.

Good Luck!

Hello.
I know that a number of people have tried using the original, non-modified
version of Software Carousel on the LX.  I assume that it didn't work.
Well, if you have that copy of SC still lying around, and you'd like to
recoup some of your loss, I would like to buy it.

How come you don't want the 200LX version?  I've found that the palmtop
version works fine on my desktop.  Just in case this is any help.  <g>

I open usually Memo documents in Word and haven't had any problem with
spanish accented characters. Of course, I save them as ASCI files and open
them in Word as "MS-DOS Text".

Hi,

just discovered a behaviour of post/lx which I want to share with you:

I set up CheckFields=3D0 as described in the Tips&Tricks page on dasoft.c=
om
to send mails without subject (for a email->sms servive).

With that setup I could send attachments which were readable just via
post/lx, but not with other mailclients (they showed the coded
attachment -> wild characters). And the mail could not be edited as
attachment information was "mixed up" with the text fields.

Now I deleted the CheckFields line and everything is working as it does
before.

So if you have these kind of problem, this may help.

Bye
G=FCnther=20

PS: Yes, the attachment was not corrupted, yes, the attachment exists.

There'll be (or already are) devices with every imaginable interface,
so I:ve already seen bluetooth devices as PCMCIA cards, serial dongles,
built into the rechargable batteries of cellular phones (I saw a
bluetooth battery for the SIemens S25 on the CeBIT)......
And I think all kinds of computer peripherial devices will soon have
bluetooth built-in, so you don't need all the cables anymore.
You'll have bluetooth printers, bluetooth scanners, bluetooth keyboards
and mice, bluetooth modems, bluetooth speakers, bluetooth networks.....
bluetooth palmtops.... :-)

The big advantage of bluetooth vs IrDA is that you don't need a
'face-to-face' connection between two devices. So you can place all
bluetooth devices somewhere around your computer in a radius of 10m
(later it will be 30m), every device has got a unique address, and
ready is your whole system!

Also not seen.


The Linux PDA I've seen before somewhere on the web. It is a
keyboard-less device, right?
Do you think tha it is really useful to use a command-line based OS on
a keyboard-less palm?
Linux on a machine like the LX was great!

Dear Bill,

I tried bbdiaz' suggestion (which I forwarded to you yesterday) to convert
memo files so that the accented characters would be read by Word. Running
lx2win did produce the correct file as far as I tested (just a few accented
characters so far). I ran lx2win from the DOS window in Windows95, but it
should work also on the 200LX.

Good luck.

IBM SlideWrite, 1984 vintage.

From the cover,
"Creates presentation-quality text
charts on paper or overhead
transparency film.  SlideWrite features
simple on-screen editing of graphics
text and enables enhancement of
charts with lines, arrows, and boxes."

Box says two diskettes, manual refers
to one (which is true).

PC Storyboard

An IBM program from 1985.  From the cover, "An easy-to-use
system for preparing and giving color presentations.  Helps
you create screen displays of text, figures, and charts,
plus use displays from other PC DOS programs.  Lets you
organize these into stories that can be presented with a
wide variety of special effects."

Three diskettes, two update diskettes.  (Working set
says PC Stoyboard Plus.)

Subject:      123<->Excel formating Q.

Hi all,

This might seem silly (or small) enough to be an OT question, but here goes:

I *love* working up spreadsheets on my LX, wherever I go, and then sending
them to my guys to work on in Excell; **BUT,** when they open the file, all
the "boxes" dissappear that usually show the seperation of the cells.  How
do I stop it from doing that????

It's frustrating.

We've tried cell formatting and clicking boxes to re-draw the lines around
the cells, but this seems to be a one-cell-at-a-time process. Selecting a
big area of cells and resetting the outlines tends to outline JUST the whole
area we've selected!

TIA for any help.

I doubt there are any HP48 emulators for the LX. Besides, I bet such an
emulator would be too slow to be useable on the LX, even on a double-speed
unit.

That's true.  TC 2.0 wasn't totally ANSI compliant.  But it was very
close.  I think Borland said 97% at that time.  Microsoft's C at
that time claimed about the same.

I've used them all on the palmtop and they all work ok.  TC2 is
pretty fast.  TC++ 1 and 1.5 are a little slow but not bad at all.
BC++ 2 is a lot slower.  It's slow enough to be irritating. In all
these cases I'm talking about compiling C code.  I don't really know
C++.  I've been told that they're much slower with C++ code.

Their site says that more is coming but that statement is dated from
before TC 2.01 was made available so it's hard to know if more is
coming.  They still sell TC 3.0 in their Turbo C++ Suite and they
might not want to hurt those sales.

However, it's available for illegal download all over the web under
the heading "abandonware".  I think a lot of people who wouldn't
normally use or distribute pirated software are making sure that
otherwise unavailable software is available for people with old
computers.  This is still not legal but personally I'm glad they're
doing it.

That was the thing about the '100; it was a real keyboard, and you could
type all day on it. (Well, until you filled it up!) It was sort of like
a keyboard with a tiny screen attached as an after thought. I'm sorry
that I sold mine.

A similar problem happened to me, but I did not realise for 3 days during
which time none of my nightly backups took place.

I opened the nightly event which contained the correct contents, except the
alarm was turned on which I do not think I had set before, as I would have
probably been woken up by it in the past. On closing the event setup screen,
the backup executed straight away. Will see tonight if everything is back to
normal again.

All users relying on a nightly backup may be well advised to check it is
still working

Hi all.

I just got a package in the mail that included what looks like a 200LX serial
cable except the serial plug is wrong (has only 4 holes instead of 10).

Can anyone ID this one?  I think it may be a 95LX cable.  HP part number is
5181-6643.

Thanks.

If you don't sign up for some sort of long distance plan then you'll end
up using what ever the default is and it is usually expensive.  This is
even more true of international long distance I imagine.

It sounds like your friend didn't check the rates before calling.
She could try calling the phone company and see if something could be
done about the high charges.

She got an expensive lesson.

I've noticed this, too.  You just go into Excel to the TOOLS->OPTIONS->
VIEW, and select the check-box GRIDLINES to be ON.  Don't know why, but
for some reason the Lotus 123 files automatically read into Excel with
this option turned off.

Hope this helps.

running DOS? It uses an AMD ELAN CPU.

5181-6643 is the 10 pin to 4 pin adapter that fits onto the end
of the 200LX serial cable and allows it to be used with the
95LX and the HP calculators. Try removing it?

I can't answer as to why the boxes disappear when going from 123 to Excel ... I
didn't know 123 even supported cell borders... more likely they are lost going
from Excel to 123.

As to cell formatting (I presume you're talking Excel since you mention
"clicking boxes"), if you select a bunch of cells (hold down the left mouse
button as you drag), then Format/Cells/Border and then choose BOTH "outline" and
"inside" with lines that will make a border around the entire box and within,
the selected cells should now all be individually boxed.

I'm not an Excel user (regularly), so there may be a cleaner way to do this.

Well, they have two divisions with over 100 people in each.

It is no crystal ball, and "flipping coins" (a strategy they

This is the second iteration for the system. I was involved
in the first several years ago, and got into this one
because I have experience with the original project. They
are very successful. They are very quiet. They are very
very secretive about what they do and so far, in several
years no leaks occured. Quite amazing. The price tag is
really trivial compared to what the systems produce for
them.

This is the part I find interesting. In the past, people have come up with
really good mathematical models for predicting the stock market. The problem
was that the model breaks down when too many people follow it. I think there
was one called "Black-Scholes" that is a classic one. I guess that's why
they don't want to reveal too much... I also imagine they have no way of
copyrighting the 'concept' of how they model the market. I think that you
can't copyright a mathematical process.

Thanks (and to Ed also).

I thought that connector looked a bit big.  Sure enough it was just an adaptor
on the regular 200LX serial cable.

Hey, I never claimed to be hi-tech!

My package also came with a 14.4k Exp Thinfax modem with 8mb.  Anyone have an
opinion on these (good or bad), and whether they're sold anymore?

5181-6643 is the 10 pin to 4 pin adapter that fits onto the end
of the 200LX serial cable and allows it to be used with the
95LX and the HP calculators. Try removing it?

Hello.

Until today I've used only Macs with my 200LXs, and gotten along nicely
with MacLinkPlus/Palmtop. Well, the hammer finally dropped at work and now
I've got an NT 4.0 machine. I had a DOS connectivity pack already (I bought
it for the cable and never installed the software) and my first surprise
was that it has DOS versions of all the palmtop PIM programs! If only the
Mac pack had those, too....

My question is, can app200 run in a window instead of taking over the whole
screen? I've got a 21" monitor, and we're talking icons as big as
wallet-size photos! TransFile looks promising, but I haven't actually used
it yet.

I've been using the 200LX since about '94. I had my company buy me one back
then so I could debug headless UNIX systems in the field (hence my need for
the DB-9 cable in the DOS connectivity pack), and liked it so well I bought
one for home use. It still amazes me how long the battery life is. BTW, I'm
guessing I ought to be replacing the backup batteries... any way to tell
what condition they're in?

My parents bought a Geobook to avoid the complexity of a PC.  They love
the apps and find it very useful.  It is, however, plagued with a design
flaw.  Apparently the way the ribbon cable feeding the screen passes
through the hinge exposes the cable to early wear.  They've been through
four screens in one year of daily use.  Brother finally said the repairs
were correcting the source of the problem and the latest unit has lasted
about six months.

John, I think several people have commented on the same NT display problem and I
don't believe there was any resolution because CPack's drivers seem to go into
EGA mode and take over the screen (or something like that), despite any settings
that try to make it run in a window.

On the bright side, this is good if your vision is failing anyway  <g>.  Cpack's
advantage over TF is support for a faster transfer speed in addition to app
support (as you've already noted).   There may be some problems on NT if your NT
environment space gets tight, and would result in some Cpack apps not starting
correctly.  This is fixed by cleaning up the NT environment space a bit
(ControlPanel/System/Environment).

As for the backup battery, go into Setup and the main screen should tell you
.... "Backup battery:  OK"

They're supposed to be replaced yearly (on the safe side).

If you want hard numbers, you can try downloading the freeware LXSTAT program
from the SUPER site and it'll give you numbers for both main and backup
batteries.  ABC/LX will do it also (Ctrl-I from within ABC/LX's screen) and a
lot more (but it'll cost you).

Hi There Palmtop Friend!

> <snip from my Dialer bat file>:

Thank you very much for your reply!!! But I have tried all different
ways to dial in via a modem and start a PPP connection. I start to
feel very frustrated, since I have never experienced such a difficult
configuration during my 6 years with a HP Palmtop!

I either use the DOSPPP debugging in a wrong way, or it's just plain
useless... My 200LX dial in to my ISP and everything goes well until the
CHATSCR script ends- then I directly loose the connection. Even when I
try to login the traditional way- wait for "Username> etc, my username
and password works fine. But as I mentioned- as soon as the script has
finished, my connection is gone.

So I guess it must be something very wrong here- but I can't figure out
what since the stupid debug option only gives me a debug file which ends
without any information what went wrong.

Suggestions are highly appreciated and if you can recommend any other
dialer/PPP package which works with the LXTCP tools, then I will give it
a try.

Thanks and Regards,

Jorgen

I wonder if the 14.4k version that I have fares any better, power-wise.

33.6 modems that don't draw a lot of power are probably in the minority.

I also confirmed that my 800CT notebook doesn't recognize the 8mb memory (at
least not without some driver).

Folks,


Often times one can ind older books about lotus. However
many of the books had disks with the templates and macros on
them.  I would love a section on SUPER to put thes old disks
so everyone could access them.

However, I was unable to get a reply ages ago to the idea of
posting the code from one such book. The company simply
ignored me. Since sonmeone owns the copyright We can't just
post it.

Anyone have any ideas on how to get permissions to make such
posting possible?

I only have a couple of such disks but I'm sure there are
others out there.

I bought a Palmpilot a couple of weeks ago, and
I love the thing! I'm totally hooked. Sooo...

I'm selling my 32Mb Double-speed 200LX. I'd like
to sell it to someone on this list.

The unit is in excellant condition. I'll also
include a connectivity cable, a wall wart, a
"CD Infobase 1999" (2 CD set), a couple of
rechargable batteries, and one of Scott's
20Mb cards.

Thaddeus sells these units by themselves for
$608.50. I'm tossing in a few extras, so I'd
like to get $650.00 and I'll pay for shipping
in the US. I'll take a money-order or cashiers
check.

Please respond off list.

After I sell the unit I'll be signing off the
list. Let me just say that I've really enjoyed
this group. You've been an interesting, and
entertaining part of my day for the past year
and a half.

Best Regards,
Steve Dowell

Living in a country where gsm is the standard, I wonder if I can use my
handphone and HPLX 200 also in the USA when I am going to visit my daughter
in the neighborhood of New Orleans. Could anybody enlighten me.
I have heard that their is some use of the gsm type of handphones in the
States but I have no idea where. Would it be GSM 900 or 1800?
I started out with nothing...I still have most of it.

Too bad, but you'll have to forget it. In some places in the USA there are
GSM providers (e.g. Sprint PCS), but their are using GSM 1900 which isn't
compatible with anything we're using. I think there are a couple of
tri-band mobile phones but this is just evolving.

Browse to Www.palmtops.net and search for "statistic" or "1-2-3". I
think there are 1-2-3 template files there.

gsm in europe is slightly different from gsm in the US.  about a year ago
some people from amsterdam visited us, and of course they had their gsm
phones with them.  they needed to go to the omnipoint (the only gsm
carrier in the US that uses the simm cards) to get a new sim with thier
account (about $20) and also needed to buy a new phone, as only the
siemens worldphone works in both europe and the states due to the
frequency diff.

They where in and out, 30 minutes in the store at most.  as for for using
it with the lx, which handset do you have?  i'm going to go out on a limb
and say if it currently works, and you buy the american version of the
phone, then it'll work here as well.

hope you have a great time!

Hello

Sorry this is so late, it was in my outbox, but marked not to send for
some reason...

I have built a temperature reader for my PC.  I can give you the code
(if I can find it), and a schematic of hardware (games port plug,
speaker cable, and thermistor).

The only problem is that the thermistor gices an analog signal, and
there is no analog signal input fot the palmtop.  I dont know if there
is any PCMCIA card for this.

Where can I download this software?..just kidding :-)) This sounds
great. If these guys play in the "big league" the investment for the
program is peanuts compared to the profit it generates. Have I
understanded it correctly that they run this program on the Hplx? I am
not sure I read the full thread.

I have played with the idea of taking part in the "stockrace" here in
Norway, but as a amatour via internet. I have some money I am "willing"
to loose. I do not know anything about stocktrading, but maybe I have a
talent for it..who knows.. I am sure that my Hp could help me organize
this. But the cost for this "superprogram" is a little too much for me
(at this time:-)) But I am glad that there are people that use the Hplx
to really make money..

My 1414LXM/4MB did very well by me for quite some time. I noticed a
little battery drain, but not too significant. It is a nice card if you
have a machine w/ limited RAM. FAX program is pretty good too!

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the answers!!

I've been "suffering in silence" on that one for years!

Should've asked the list sooner, eh?

Hi There!

As Patrick West mentioned earlier, you can print via IrDA in DOS using:
http://www.thaddeus.com/ftp/dj346en.zip

I tried it- printing from MS Word for DOS to a HP 6P Laserjet printer,
and it worked fine!

Now to my problem- have anyone been able to print via IrDA from Excel
2.1 or Windows 2.03/3.0?

I suspected that MS Win would "swallow" all the memory and disturb this
driver- and it did! So I could not print from Excel, but since it has an
installation for Windows (later versions, such as 3.1- I guess), then it
might be possible to do it on the palmtop....in some way... Do you know
how?

Regards,

Jorgen

I just purchased an HP NetBeam IR system on eBay. The NetBeam
connects to my home network (Ethernet) and communicates with
my OB 800CT at 4MB. I can now connect my OB to the network just
by sitting it in front of the NetBeam and turning the OB on.

With all this talk about using WWW/LX to communicate with
certain cell phones via IR, does anyone know if WWW/LX cab work
with a device like the NetBeam to establish an Ethernet
connection?

Thanks.

It's probably been mentioned by someone else, but in general Netscape 4.3+ (and perhaps
earlier as well) will allow you to get a remote file _as a file_ (i.e. not activate any automatic
plug-in) if you hold down the shift key when you click on the appropriate button...

The 14.4 modem draws a fraction of what the 33.6 modem
draws. I thought the 33.6 has external power from
batteries, no? The 33.6 was definitely not designed with
200LX in mind, but the 14.4 sure was! It even has a fax
application which is an EXM.

I doubt you can find any which draw less than 150mAh.

Yup! Driver needed. See their webpage and my other post.

The Black-Scholes is indeed an example of how the behaviour
cancels any gains when everyone does the same. There was a
public TV program aired about that just a few weeks ago.
Quite interesting. Clearly, the theory had merits, or at
least it earned two people the Nobel Prize and a great deal
of money in the investment arm they created.

I think the reason most of the methodologies in investments
are not publicised is for competitive reasons, Perhaps that
says the same as what you meant.

Copyrighting is not necessary helpful. You have got to make
it a trademark or patent. Cash Management was a successful
strategy which the creator (can't recall the name of the
brokerage) also successfully defended against copycats. I
think this is quite convoluted, though.

As to why my contacts keep their process secret I really do
not know. I just know they are EXTREMELY strict about it. I
speculate that it is of course a competitive edge they wish
to maintain, but there could be other reasons. I found out
with my dealings with them, that they are extremely
sophisticated management group, with very well thought out
strategies and methods.

Solid as a rock modems. and storage. The company also
warrants them for life! They maybe slow, but they will not
suck batteries dry while online. Minifax is built-in and it
is a great fax application (.EXM, too). I believe that
David Shier may still have them in stock although he is out
of retail.

Two drawbacks IMHO:

1. The modem comes on each time you turn the palmtop on and
then after 10 seconds of inactivity it shuts down. That
tends to deplete batteries a bit faster than really
necessary, especially if you turn the machine on and off
many times a day. We have looked for a long time for ways
to tell the modem to "cool it" :-) and just wait for an
explicit "wake up", but to no avail.

2. There are two storage parts on the card. The 8MB and
another, smaller EEPROM (or???) which contains the
programs, drivers etc.

That part of the card always shows itself as A: drive.
LXMDRV.SYS, the driver which is used in the DEVICE= in the
config, makes the 8MB always look like F: or higher drive. This
makes it inconvenient in filer, and we have used SUBST (as
well as ASSIGN) to switch "identities".

Another invonveience is that their configuration will
automatically create a subdirectory on C: and copy into it
the driver, then use the driver from the C: drive.

This tends to be a problem when you lose C: drive, suddenly
the 8MB is inaccessible. I always made the CONFIG.SYS use
the driver directly from the A: drive. Also, they have
LXMFMT.EXE right on the A: drive. This baby will wipe out
the 8MB in no time - gives little warning that it is
destructive, especially to a novice user.

All these are just mere minor inconveniences. The card is
otherwise really excellent!

BTW, www.exp-tech.net is their Website, I think. They have
updated the programs on the drive, and you can download a
whole file that will update your card.

Also, I believe there are drivers for use in Win9x and
WinNT - but that isn't clear to me, I heard, but never
searched or used these... (Hmmmm... actually, if you find
drivers for Win9x and WinNT please let me know! - would be
nice to have a EXP pluggable into a PCMCIA drive on the
desktop, and backed up in a hurry.

Hope all this helps...

They use some older 100LX and 200LX. There are some support
components on larger machines, but the main smarts is in
the palmtops.

That's the right attitude :). Think of it as lost money when

I suggest to spend much more time learning about it. I
doubt anyone has a "talent", but I accept luck, at least
for a time. There is sooooo much info available and sources
to teach you.

You are being silly, right? That program (system of
programs really) was designed for an investment bank, with
an emphasis on stocks, but not only. Other financial
instruments are also included, which as an individual you'd
almost never have access to. This also requires prodigious
amounts of information, massaged in specifc ways, which
requires more computing power than most individuals have at
home, or even have access to. This system is of no interest
to an individual investor at all, never mind the price tag.

Jeff,

I think I saw some folks on the list say that Win9x will handle it OK w/o
any special drivers that's been the case for me.  If you're still having
troubles, I should get my disk back Monday ( I had a little work done and
the computer place is umm... anal ... about having all your driver disks ).

Give a holler and I can compress all the files on the disk, if you need 'em.

Here's my quick and dirty summary of PGP:

PGP can be used to `sign', `encrypt' or both.

Encrypting is obvious. If you want to keep messages or files secret it is a perfectly good way.

Signing is less obvious. If I `sign' a message with PGP and you use the PGP software to read it
_and_ if you have an authenticated copy of my PGP signature, then you can be pretty sure that the
message came from me. You still have to be careful about how you get my authenticated signature
(that's what the fingerprint stuff is all about) and, particularly if you are sending ASCII files,
you have to use software that _will not_ do spurious things like screw around with white space.

That describes what PGP does. The rest is my view of the usefulness.

In newsgroup contexts, I find it less than useless. In other words, I find it a complete waste of
bits (it often doubles or triples message length to `sign', that's why in most well functioning
newsgroups no one actually signs anything) principally because for the most part I don't really
care _who_ anyone is anyway, and none of the stuff I read is likely to be faked.

In other contexts I find it pretty useless too, but that is perhaps just because my signature has
no particular `authority' attached to it. In my days as a teacher, if I had used the internet
for assignments etc. then I might have used PGP because otherwise some student might find it
amusing to masquerade as me in order to torment his/her fellow classmates. Signing messages
would pretty much defeat any attempt by one student to, for example, send a horrible `assignment'
to some fellow student in my name.

However, PGP would only be a nuiscance in my regular communication. So while I keep it available,
and while a do have a PGP signature key available on a public key server, I essentially
_never_ use the signature facilities, and only use the encryption facilities to keep a few files
(for example, files that contain passwords) on my computer free from the unlikely encounter with
someone else...

I found Expert Help, both DOS and windows versions at www.sofsolutions.com
following their download link. They also have a collection of EH/NG files.
I can't find any mention of whether it's freeware or what on the web site.
In the documention, the only mention I've found is in reference to
purchasing a distribution kit, so I am going on the assumption that it is
free for personal use.

Thanks for the info. With Omnipoint for search I found out that New Orleans

Picked them up at a liquidator, along with many connectivity packs. How much do

Let me know if interested.

Hi Mark,

Yes you can boot from a compact flash card (in the PCMCIA adapter). If
a flash card is in the PCMCIA slot and you boot, the 200lx will boot
from that by default. Watch the screen carefully and you'll see a few
other options. If you have a double speed lx its a good idea to have
copies of the necessary drivers on a flash card in case the drivers or
autoexec.bat on the palmtop get trashed, so you can easily get started
again.

If you want info about modems and ethernet if you go to

http://www.palmtop.net

that should give you a start.

Was this the stuff that "the prediction company" did for
Swiss Bank, O'Connor a few years back?

 I've got to imagine that anything that required the small hand held
form factor of the "00/LX" had to be an application that was required
to be ON AN EXCHANGE FLOOR (Chicago Merc, CBOT, NY
Merc, etc).

I say this because If the trading was "upstairs", i.e. not in the
crowd on an exchange floor, why wouldn't one use a more powerful
desktop?

Don't get me wrong, I love my 200lx, and used it when i was trading
crack options on the floor of the NY MERC. But now that I'm
upstairs I use a desktop like everyone else

regards
T

PS: turning a barrel of crude oil into refined products is referred to
as "Cracking the Crude". A crack option is an option.on the the
price difference twixt  a refined product, heating oil or gasoline
and crude. While floor traders that trade options on Crude or
Products use printed sheets to figure out implied volatilities/prices
such traders are  referred to as "sheet monkeys" the fact that a
crack option uses two implied volatilities and a covariance makes
printed sheets cumbersome, so  i programmed up some stuff in
APL to deal with it on a 200LX

Subject:      Batteries discharging unevenly
MIME-version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit

From past postings I would surmise that we have several battery experts on
the list.
I've noticed something over the past year or two that seems odd to me.
Maybe one (or more) of these knowledgeable people can enlighten me.

When I get the first "main batteries low" message I replace the batteries
immediately and save those batteries to use in my pager.  (I don't care if
it goes completely dead occasionally.)  The puzzle is that almost always one
of the batteries has much less charge left in it than the other.  This does
not seem to vary with brand of battery or even with type (alkaline or
lithium).  The batteries are always fresh according to the date printed on
them.  They come from bulk packages purchased frequently  and are stored in
reasonable indoor conditions.  I try to always pair them from the same lot.
They last through three or four weeks of usage in my doublespeed before
needing replacement so I think the time is not unreasonable.  Sometimes one
battery would be so low that the pager (needs only one battery) would not
even turn on and the other battery would show as being 3/4 fully charged.
'Tis a puzzlement!

Thanks,
bob

I am surely no battery expert, but the behavior you describe doesn't strike me as too much of
a puzzle, in that (I guess generalizing from my light-bulb experience) I wouldn't expect too much
similarity in the discharge pattern of individual batteries. If the two batteries discharge
unevenly, and the 200 is _only_ sensitive to the series effect of the two, then it will indicate
low whenever the worst of the two gets bad enough to trigger the situation. The other battery
might be quite robust still.

David, I see where you are coming from on this one, but my confusion is why
would I regularly get batteries so mismatched.  Battery makers must spend
tons of money to make their batteries as consistant from one batch to the
next as well as between two batteries from the same lot.  I also don't
notice this outcome so much with the batteries that I take out of my
Mini-Maglight.  If this effect I'm noticing is so frequent, are we throwing
away half of our batteries with a lot of use still left in them?

Well, again (mis-?)generalizing from my experience with light bulbs, I have noticed a tremendous
variation in effective age. Harder to track than battery life because with light bulbs life is
`very long' or `incredibly long' and usage clearly varies from socket to socket. It seems to me
that I remember some examples used in an ancient stochastic math class that indicated there was
_very little_ information in knowning how long a bulb had been burning. Since batteries are
dissapative, there clearly _is_ information (probably lots) in knowing how much it has been used,
but that doesn't necessarily imply that you might not quite regularly have high variance.

Seems to me is all that it takes is substantial `variance' in capacity to get the behavior you
observe...

But since I don't really _know_ much about this, I guess I have speculated enough. All I can
say is that it wouldn't surprise me to find that we regularly throw away lots of batteries with
lots of useful life...

Like David said, there is probably a lot of variation in batteries,
even from the same lot.  My guess (not being an expert) is that the
acceptable tolerance for commercial products is probably pretty large.
Another thing is that battery discharge life is going to be different
in low average current devices (like the LX) and high current devices
(like a Mini-Maglite).

One more thought --- even at 3/4 full, the better cell is on the edge
of being too low for the LX.

Hi Helmuth.
This sounds like an interesting application. Does it run on the 200LX?
Can you tell us something about it please?

it into the Data application on Psion with their PSIWIN 2.0?  There doesn't

I praise the HP documentation while I curse that of the Psion as I ponder

Sounds like an effective solution to me! You emphasise a point I should have made explicit in
my earlier message: `On the whole, simpler is better than more complicated.'

I've used that method before, but it's easier just to use PGP, even on the
200LX, I've found.

I own a 64 Mb dubble speed HP200 LX and do not encoutered any

Benefit: much faster than the old 10 Mb one which I used in

   Does anyone know how secure the PKZip PassWord routine is?

It's not secure at all.  There is a widely available "cracker" made
specifically for PKZIP that'll decrypt messages.

PGP is real encryption that is secure enough to sustain concentrated
attack.  It is no more inconvenient to use than PKZIP and, with LXPGP,
easier.  PGP also uses compression so you have smaller messages that the
NSA can't (probably) read.

The downside is that real encryption requires real computational
horsepower.  It can be slow on the 200lx.  There used to be a site with
lots of great info about PGP.  I think it has been awhile since it was
updated and it may even be gone now but it would be worth looking for to
get up to speed on PGP 2.6.2.  I think it was http://pgp.rivertown.net.

Is it a simpler (and smaller) application as bgfax?
Could you make it available to everyone, if it works with every modem?
Can it also receive or just send faxes?

Sounds interesting. How do you build the connector that plugs into the

Could I see a pivture of one?

Does anybody know of any program that will allow you to retrieve a
particular page along with the links from that page and images for all the
pages linked to?  There are some sites I'd like to mirror for local use on
my 200LX with HV, but the remote retrieval utilities I've been able to
find so far haven't been able to retrieve entire sites like that,
including images and links.  Of particular use would be the ability to
retrieve CGI-created pages as well...

In the past, some ugly soul spoofed my address and I
believe also also Peter's, and posted pretty hairy stuff in
our name. The fake was easy to spot. Aside from obvious
attempt to embarrass us, there was no other consequence to
me. (Oh, some less careful readers olympically jumped to
judgement and sent hate email, but that's lots of sewer
water under the bridge.)

If I signed each post with PGP, the fake could have been
shown as easily to be such. But what a PITA that is for
posts in this list.

> In other contexts I find it pretty useless too, but that is

It could be useful if you send an email to the bank
authorizing them to do something in your account,
for example. (The bank must be a willing partner in this
exchange.)

The PGP encryption of files is fairly awesome too.

It runs on the hp200lx and I use it a lot when travelling. As it is a
DOS application the maps are not the newest ones and new highways are
missing.

I think in the US it was called just "AUTO", but I am not sure.

You have to use a Windows 3.x tool because of the long filenames.
I think Web tracker (look on simtel) will translate long filenames
to 8.3 filenames and therefore makes it accessible for HV.

The only copies I've been able to verify of Turbo C++ are 1.0 and its
revisions like 1.01 and 1.03, which have a few deficiencies and bugs, and
3.0, which won't run on the 200LX.  Naturally I jump whenever I get wind
of a middle version that might run on the palmtop.  <g>

You're probably confusing it with Turbo C 1.5. That does exist.

Yes I think so too, I used to throw away the batteries I used on my
powerhungry digicam. But now I use the betteries I no longer can use in
the digicam in my Hplx..And they last for a long time..

Microsoft bought it and closed down the non-windows versions.  Hence nothing new in the maps for a long time.

My understanding is that it works if you place a copy of command.com from a
"real" DOS 5.0 installation on the palmtop.  The command.com built into the D:
drive of the palmtop apparently lacks something the desktop version of SC
needs.

Anyone on the list ever come across the DOS version of the HP-12C Financial
calculator software? I have the Win version but would like to have the DOS
version for the LX. The software simply emulates a 12-C and provides
everything from PV to straight loan amortizations to ARM amortizations. Not
sure a DOS version was ever made available but thought I'd check. Thanks.

Try www.palmtop.net and look for the XACT set of three calculators for DOS.
I found the 12C and the others to be pretty faithful emulations of the real
thing. Hard to read in the B/W display however.

Hi,

I have a serious problem! I am trying to configure DOSPPP, so I can dial
in to my ISP. I am using a Palm 3 modem which I have adapted for use
with 200LX. This modem works great with all types of apps, such as
WWW/LX. But when it comes to DOSPPP- no init string will work and
therefore I can't get a connection.

So I my question is if you are a user of the same combination of modem
and program? If yes, please advice how you configured the init string.

If not, please advice how I should proceed to find an init string that
works.

Thanks and Regards,

Jorgen

Subject:      200LX \ 700LX Hybrid?
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

I have a question for all the hardware experts out there. I have a 200LX \
DS \ 8Mb, and a 700 LX Omnigo. I also happen to live in an area of the
country where I can use a phone that works with the Omnigo. I love all the
features of the Omnigo except one - it won't fit in my pocket. So, I am use
my 200 on a daily basis.

I pulled the bottom off the 700 and found that it just has a standard Nokia
data card in a second PCMCIA slot. I pulled the card out, bought a cable
from Nokia, and my 200 worked with the card just fine. However, I didn't
have an application to use the short messaging service, and the application
integration is not as good as the 700. So, I thought of a perfect solution...


1. Combine the two machines so that I have the form factor of the 200, but
the ROM of the 700.
2. Have about 32 MB of RAM on board so that I don't have to use a memory card.
3. Leave the Nokia data card plugged in, and attach the fone when a fax or
data call comes in.

Perfect, no?

Two small problems: Can it be done, and who could do it?

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Most Camera's produce a jpeg format which is already
a compressed format, you can try to compress it further
with PKZIP or LHARC however from experience you
might be lucky to get 10% more.

My advice send it as a JPEG, others will/may disagree
it is just that if the receiving party does not have software
to decompress or does not know how to then they will
not see your photographs.  Some email programs such as
Outlook Express will show a jpg or jpeg digital photograph
directly, but a zip or self extracting exe zip file will not show
(I will not run exe files from email unless I autheticate the
sender)

Good luck...Liam

I suspect that the above is an oxymoron - that is, you can't get USB support in
Windows 95. But I recently got a new system, and I am running Windows 95 on it
for now. I have one device that can use USB support, but haven't been able to
find the necessary drivers... I suspect that I am tilting at windmills, but
thought I would tap the collective expertise of the list... And if the answer
is you can't get there from here, is there anyone running Windows 98/2000 that
wants to sell their copy of Windows 95 OSR 2.5?

The Windows package SurfSaver 2.0 from AskSam does the job, retrieving
everything on a page and storing it all, compressed, in a searchable
database.  I love this package and use it every day.  It does not run on the
palmtop as it depends on having a full-function browser like IE.

You can tell it how many levels deep to follow links, a maximum number of
pages to retrieve, and whether to restrict downloads to the same URL path or
same website.  It is also possible to tell it to save only non-graphic
contents of the pages.

As for re-creating external HTML files and the graphics files needed, that's
not a feature of the package.

The Pro version costs but there is an advertising supported free version
available from http://www.surfsaver.com.  I think it's well worth it to buy
the Pro version.

I have tried some programs that decrypted encrypted zip files.
I did not get it to work but I am sure it is NOT a very secure routine.
But as I said. It is mostly for keeping people from reading a message
"by mistake".

My .02 on this:

The encrption used in pkzip is weak - believe it is "crackable" - that is able
to be broken without the password or brute force decipher. But it will keep
honest thieves out.

I recommend (highly) SecureDevice for use on the HP. Very sound encryption,
open source code for no back doors, can specify a time out, fast, and does not
use much memory for the driver. One of my "projects to do in spare time" is to
make an exm program for keying the password in. Weather has been just too damn
nice lately!

By the way, ScramDisk is an equally good program for Windows 95. I tried to
find one product that would work on both HP and Windows, but was unable to find
one. It is my personal opinion that both of these tools are probably good
enough to keep anyone from getting your data from the encrypted file.

Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

A couple of years ago, I bought two 4MB memory upgrades from Notebook Supply
Warehouse (NSW).  I installed one in my 2MB 200LX (increasing it to 5MB), and
put the other on the shelf as a "spare".  I've since sold that 200LX and bought
a 32MB 200LX.  I now have no use for the "spare".

This upgrade has never been installed, but I understand that there may be some
concern since NSW is no longer in business.  I have no way to test the module
(since I no longer have anything other than the 32MB palmtop), but I will
guarantee that it works...if it doesn't, just return it for a refund (less
shipping).

I'll also throw in the 1MB memory module (that I removed from the 200LX to make
room for the other 4MB module) as a bonus.

$25, including shipping in the US.

I might be interested, but I am a soldering weeny (total ignorance).
What skill level is needed for this?  I seem to remember that a
2meg palmtop could be increased to 5 or 6 megs, depending on when
it was made.  Is that the kind of upgrade you have?  I think I have a
newer
palmtop.

I think I agree completely. In my experience further compression of .jpg is likely to be less than

I completely agree. That's why I bother to keep a `sig on file' in a public key repository, just
in case I really ever need to `authenticate at a distance'. However, it is fair to say that in
my past twenty years of ArpaNet, Internet experience I still haven't used it...

Depends on the device, I have a Kodak DVC 350 camera which works fine
with the drivers Kodak supplied on my Win95 system.
OTOH, my SanDisk USB compact flash reader does not work (out of the box
at least, I have not tried anything exotic with it). I have that
connected to a Win98 system where it works fine.

So, don't despair if you find the right drivers it can be made to work.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

I recently bought 2 200LX's and they both came with flash cards.  Now I
want to configure LX #1 to so that I can use card #2 and vice-versa.
Actually, more accurately I recently bought one of Mack's upgrade kits and
I want to take system #2 completely down (including card), do the memory
upgrade, which, will, no doubt, involve re-configuring the card.  I've
already saved all of the software from A: (the card) and from C:, but I
didn't really find anything that looked like any sort of driver for the
card, yet when I put card #2 in machine #1 it won't show up, nor when I
put card #1 in machine #2, so I assume there are some configuration
issues.

Details:

Machine #1 = 4 MB 200lx
Machine #2 = 1 MB 200lx

Card #1 = 10MB SunDisk ATA card
Card #2 = 40MB Simple Technology STI-ATAFL/40 card

It would appear these both are ATA cards right?  I really don't know a
thing about the differences between different card types or how they work.
Yet I hope to figure it out with help from the list.

Card #1 is stacked to 2x but I know about stacker so this is not a
problem.  I just need to understand how to configure the machines / cards
and/or find some sort of driver on machine #2 (not in C: folks, i.e. I
can't find ANY drivers on machine #2)  Yet the card still works and this
is a mystery to me.

Anyway, I won't feel comfortable taking machine #2 completely down for the
upgrade until I can cross the cards over respectively into the other
machines and get them to run.  Thanx in advance.

I've used it many times but only three times did I really
NEED it. The third time was just recently. In the past I had
always attached a pgp fingerprint to my email sig. But when
changing ISP last year, I got out of the habit, till a
recent need slammed me in the face.

I did up a new key with my current address, signed it with
itself and my last two keys and sent it to a key server.
This solved the problem. And I've added the fingerprint of
my new key to my sig and likely won't need it again for a
couple of years. Think of it like auto or fire insurance,
one may never need it, but if you do, it is too late to
change your mind. So I've added the fingerprint of my new
key to my sig and likely won't need it again for a couple of
years.

Imagine you have talked with someone who you have never met
face to face, simply email and mailing lists and newsgroups.
But over time you have come to trust this person's knowledge
and experience. Now events have occurred that you want to
discuss with them. Because you wish to include details you
view it as a private, if not confidential matter. Using PGP
in this case avoids any problems with misdirected email,
snoopy sys admin staff, etc. Because you have saved some of
their email, or have pasted their pgp fingerprint into a
note section of your address book, you have a way to ensure
you are talking with the same person. Getting their pgp key
from the server, at this point, would be worthless if in the
past they hadn't attached a pgp fingerprint to all their
mail.

I had considered getting a map/routing program for the 200LX, but in my area,
the roads are changing so much that I'm not sure the routing information would
be very current.

I use a version of World Travel (from the SUPER site), which was enhanced to
load about 900 California cities, as a crude means of judging travel distance
and city locations.  The city information came from the census website which
gives the latitude and longitudes.  World Travel's US map gives me a rough
visual as to the location and the distance calculator lets me gauge the travel
distance and times, using waypoints.

Probably not as automatic as AutoRoute (or AutoMap), but free and all files are
only 167k.  Still would like a nice pcx map of California that fits on the LX
screen ... if anyone has one.  Has to be oriented so that north is at the top of
the screen and south is at the bottom.  Thanks.

Good point. I only use automap for directions between cities. The
interstates and US Highways don't change much at all compared to local
roads. I use automap in conjunction with a good paper map to give me
routing options, distances and travel times between cities very quickly.
Once I arrive at the destination city I use traditional maps.

I had a DOS version of SC that ran fine on my DS LX. I don't remember if
there were any big problems running it, anyway no show stoppers, I upgraded
to the LX version because I like having my built-in programs at the touch of
one of the blue buttons. I seem to remember paying _very little_ for the DOS
version, found it in a cutout bin.

The two cards should be completely compatible with any 200LX, AFAIK there are no
configuration issues.

I had the 2nd (40mb Simple Tech) and have had several cards that were Sundisk
relabeled as HP ... none of the cards (all of which were ATA) ever needed any
special driver in order to work on any of the three 200LX's I've owned.

Check the battery level of the LX's, or plug them into AC when testing the card,
to eliminate low batterys as a possible issue for.

I'm not a stacker user, but that would be my guess as to the problem.  One way
to test may be to boot without Stacker drivers (ie, off the internal C drive,
assuming it doesn't load stacker), and after boot, turn off the LX and plug in
either card and turn it back on.

Without any drivers, either LX's Filer should "see" either of the cards.

If you have the "B" version of Win95, you can get USB to work. Check in
properties of My Computer to see which version of Windows in installed. If
it's "B" (ver 2.1) or "C" (ver 2.5) then look at your Windows CD for
\other\usb for the necessary file(s)

Thanks, Longden_Loo you are right!  I just tried the 40MB card in the
'other' machine after renaming autoexec.bat and config.sys and it now
'sees' it just fine!   I thought I had done that but it's a month and a

That depends on if they have a gsm network in New Orleans. And if you
have a tri band phone,. You probably have a 900/1800 phone with either
ir or cable connection to your Hplx? And gsm in Us use 1900 Mhz. So
either have to buy yourself a new phone or rent/buy one over there.

You need a Nokia 8890(showed on Cebit on market some time next
year:-( or some other worldphone to use it in Europe/Us.

1900

Well you could/should hire a phone over there. Everytime your question
is asked in a norwegian mobil newsgroup people say that you should hire
a phone and divert your home phone to your hire phone over there. I
think you can hire a phone here: Www.cellhire.com. or at airports.

You have to check if the phone you are hireing or buying has data
cabability and also that the network you are on over there has data
enabled on the subscription you get/hire.

The cost for receving phonecalls can be high if you use your own
simcard in a hire phone(roaming). The cost for you is lower (I am told)
if you leave the sim at home and have somebody divert it to your hired
Us number. Or maybe you could have your sim with you and contact your
home provider and have them divert it to you In the Us.

I don't think that swapping the ROM between the 200LX and 700LX would
work due to major differences in the hardware of those machines. But
if it's only for the SMS application, I'd suggest to check out Robot/LX,
which is an add-on to WWW/LX. I use this program to send and receive
SMS with my Siemens S25 GSM phone, and I'm quite sure that it can be
used equally well with the Nokia phones, perhaps after some minor
modifications.

If you have a 200LX 2MB with a serial number of SG54... or higher,
you most likely need to solder a SMD socket onto the mainboard before
you can install the upgrade. The total amount of memory will then be
6MB.

If you have an older palmtop, you don't need to install the socket,
but the amount of memory will only be 5MB.

I like the way the Omnigo integrates the applicationsand I like the built in
applications and the way the 700 uses the phone for faxing, as well as the SMS.

I won't be crushed if I can't do it; I guess I was just hoping that someone would say
it wasn't that difficult...

Oh, I agree there are ways to make zip-file encryption simple, but with
PGP in most e-mail programs, you can just hit a few extra keys to encrypt
the message.  In my main program (Pine) I just hit "y" at the time of send
and the message is automatically encrypted.

I believe they have different polarities and a different-sized adapter

OK David, I'm jealous.

Do you use Pine on your LX or is it on a Unix server you're dialing into?

I had a "shell" account, w/ a local ISP, that I could TELNET into and use
Pine; but they've cut all such access for "security" reasons :-(

   * Long time ago I use Nokia Data card for my 200LX with Nokia 2110 to
send/receive fax and also SMS. It worked excellent
   * To sent SMS, you can use the original Data Comm program of 200LX as
follows :
      atz     : to clear the modem
      at*c   : to initiate the program to send SMS, and after that just
follow the menu of the program.

hope it will help.

iqbal

How long does it take, or are you not talking about the 200 here? On my 200 I find that just
about anything I do with PGP takes long enough that I only use it as an absolute last resort
(i.e. when I am somewhere without any other computer and need something in one of my encrypted
files). Otherwise, I find PGP on the 200 so slooooow that it is next to useless...

ZIP file stuff, OTOH operates quickly enough to be quite useful on the 200.

With e-mail, I generally telnet in from my 200LX to the hplx.net machine
and run Pine on that machine, so PGP is very quick.  On the 200LX, I have
PGP set up with Post/LX, and yes, it's pretty slow -- ten seconds or so,
as I recall, to encrypt a message on my double-speed machine.  But I still
find it usable, and the speed tradeoff is more than made up for by the
added security, in my book.  I'd rather spend a few extra seconds of
encryption time than decades in a penitentiary when the feds intercept my
messages to Avi and discover our dangerous clandestine operations.  <g>

There are still plenty of telnet accounts out there.  Check
out http://www.netins.net for one.  I telnet in with my HP200LX
all the time.  It's $5 per month.

For 200LX owners, I'll offer free shell accounts on hplx.net.  Anybody
interested in that kind of thing can e-mail me privately.

No problem, IF the two motherboards have the same size and mounting
points. I don't know, if this is the case, but if you're able to remove
the Nokia data card, you also should be able to find this out.

That's more difficult. You had to move the upgrade from the
200LX-mainboard to the 700LX-mainboard. I don't know if this is
possible. And if it's possible, it is probably very difficult.
Please ask Mack here.

sounds good. :-)

Are the applications in ROM that you need (SMS, Fax etc.) accessable
via blue keys, or only via AppMgr icons or both?

The point is: If they are not attached to blue keys, they could be
normal EXM or even EXE files on D:, so you could simply copy them
to your 200LX.
If they are not on D:, but only in the non-visible ROM (as all the
blue-key-apps are), you can't copy them.

I think everybody who has purchased a 700LX has asked Mack about this, and
unfortunately the 700LX can't take any memory upgrades.

Does anyone know for sure IF the 200LX can 'see' a drive much larger
than 500Meg??

There was an old DOS disk size restriction that prevented DOS from
seeing disk space larger than about 512-540Meg.  There were LBA Bios
fixes for desktops to get around the problem but I've never heard
whether the 200LX had the problem or not.

I asked this a long time ago, and nobody was sure, but Mack and Hal tested
a Sandisk 1.2GB card at Comdex last fall and, with Mack's new ATA disk
driver, it worked fine ... so I don't think we'll have any problems in the
200LX for a long time.

can I bore you with my memory problems? :)

since I installed Tremm and S. Carousel two weeks ago I have memory
problems. In short, I have to boot my main 200LX almost every day because it
freezes. I was used to one application's data loss, but now with several
Carousel sessions, the loss is more severe.

For example, I open session 2 and have 412k free memory (spacebar), then I
load one single tiny 1k file in Pal Editor and have 5k (53598) left. If I do
F5 (spell) the system locks up needing ctrl+shift+on. All data is lost. Then
it takes another 10 seconds of SC to load and configure again. I have a
tremm.swp of 820.224 bytes, but if I open several programs in sys.mngr
(seesion 1) I get a "not enough memory to run program" message; so, what did
I install Tremm.exe for?

I am getting tired of this and consider erasing Tremm and SC to get my
original well-working maxdos back.

btw. I installed SC before Tremm

The BIOS will limit the maximum hard drive size that can be recognized
(528MB was the old limit)

The formula for maximum size in DOS is:

Maximum Clusters per Partition (A) (65,520)
times
Maximum Sectors per Cluster (B) (64)
times
Largest Hard Drive Partition (in bytes) (C) (512)
equals
Maximum Hard Drive Size (in bytes)

A * B * C = 65,520 * 64 * 512 = 2,146,959,360 bytes

This is the DOS limit even if you have Windows 95/98 - If you create larger
partitions, some DOS programs may not function properly, especially those
that need to know how much space is available. In this case the request to
DOS for space available may return a number larger than the program is
prepared to accept (see above size) and it may interpret the number to be
negative, thereby believing that there is no space.

I want to use the password feature of the palmtop - but I'm observing
some strange behaviour with SC.  What it the recommended technique
for setting passwords with SC?  I observed that sometimes the password
seemed to just disappear - in otherwords I could just turn the machine
on and it would be working.  Other times, I would get a password prompt.
At first, I thought this was related to which work area I was in, but
I had trouble correlating this with my observations.

Correct, Win95 prior to OSR2 (AKA Win95B) had no support for the USB
hardware in the computer. Win95B support for USB was / is patchy at best.
You're better off going toWin98, which also has generally improved drivers
all around (the hardware manufacturers got a second chance to get it right).
At least I found problems I had with PC cards in Win95 OSR2.5 went away when
I upgraded to Win98 on my Omnibook (Xircom/Intel NICs, TDK modems).

I doubt anyone running Win98 could *legally* sell their Win95B, since they
would have had to get the full release of W98, not the upgrade. W2K is more
problematic since while it will upgrade W9x, you're legally supposed to buy
the full version, not the (NT) upgrade.

Hi,

I am trying desperately to connect to my ISP with DOSPPP so I can use
LXFTP. After a lots of testing, I have some Interesting results which
I don't understand and therefore I ask for help.

I have confirmed that my setup is ok, since I have tried 2 other
external modems connected to my COM1 port. In order to avoid scripting
problems, I enter terminal mode and then login manually.

The modem that I am using, doesn't work at all. It dial in, enter
terminal mode and I am entering my User Name, Password & PPP. Then I get
a reply that I am entering PPP mode, my IP address etc. But now my modem
dissconnects directly- not even a short delay.

When I use the other 2 modems, they will continue and negotiate the PPP
connection and then give me a ok.

First I thought that it might be my modem init string that was wrong.
But then I created a string which gave the modem the exact settings as
the other modems. But that didn't help. The interesting thing is that
the 2 working modems can accept any type of init string and will still
work fine.

Ok, now you might think- this is easy! Something wrong with your modem!
But I don't think so since it work great with WWW/LX and POST/LX!

Why can't my modem work? Please help. If you could suggest another
dialer and PPP driver, that might help also.

Looking forward to a reply.

Thanks and Regards,

Jorgen

Your `secret' keyring may contain more than just one signature. I have a `short' signature
created in 1995 (1024 bit key) and a `long' signature (2048 bit key) created in 1999. I need
to tell it which to use. In my case I actually type `Ness' and if it does not get me the one I
want, I use an `ID' instead. Almost always I go with the default (which in this case is the long
signature).

Be careful. Unless you actually bother to write fresh, meaningless characters into the exact
place where the original file was, there may be residual information on the disk. PGP has some
options to help you control this. You have to understand the way DOS behaves rather intimately
to make sure you clean things up. (i.e. you _cannot_ just use COPY commands, or just write
scrambled characters). You actually need to access the _oroginal_ disk blocks, and rewrite each
of them. This is hard to do except at the lower levels of disk access routines.

When you create your original key pair, you also create an `access phrase'. You need to use this
phrase whenever access to your private key is needed. It is recommended that this phrase be rather
long (dozens of characters at least).

Encryption is quite fast. Is it decryption that will kill you. Decrypting an 11 character test
data file that was encrypted with my 2048 bit key takes about 7 min (yes that is 7 _minutes_) on
my single-speed 200lx. It is for this reason that I _emphasise_ that I only use it on the 200
in extreme circumstances...

As for CGI, I don't think the browser really knows, under normal

I have been told that some pages, because theyre CGI generated or

assume that's something in HTML and could be easilly changed.

It's not too slow to be usable, as I remember.  Just a little too

I just got a Kodak DC280 and using the alkaline batteries that came
with it, every time I take a few pictures I start getting a battery
low indication.  At first I believed it but I checked the batteries
and they show a full charge.  I put them back in and they were fine.
Until I took a few more pictures.  I've found that the key is to
turn the camera off and on when I get the power low indication.

I've also taken pictures with the NIMH batteries that also came with
it and I don't have this problem.  I've tried using Radio Shack
Hi-Cap nicads and they don't have the problem either.

I'm guessing this is something like the problem that cause HP to
reccomend not using Dura-cells if you have a flash card.  They
couldn't handle the sudden large draw of the flash card.  I remember
the discussion at that time was that nicads were better at handling
that then alkaline batteries.  Probably the Kodak thinks it has a
low power situation and can't change it's mind till the power on the
camera is cycled.

Just guessing, I've probably taken about 35 or 40 pictures with the
Alkalines.  I've probably gotten the low indication 3 or 4 times.
And the batteries still show a full charge on my tester.  (I don't
have one that gives voltage or I'd give that, but I do know where
the needle goes with a full charge).

Barry,

just an aside (or what I sometimes choose to call, a thought).....

You could try an alkaline with a lower internal resistance like the
Duracell Ultra or simillar - though the discharge charatistics are
somewhat different to their standard Alkaline, they do have higher peak
current delivery because of the lower cell resistance.

I am using these in my 200lx (with flash card and clock doubled) without
problem, but then I wasn't getting a problem with the standard cells
either.

Best regards,

Condor

If anyone is interested in getting their hands on a NEW copies of automap I

the impression that the seller had many copies. I contacted the seller and

BTW: I have Automap and have found it useful on occasion but please
understand that this program is not nearly as capable as the modern AM

but the database is not good enough for door-to-door directions.

Encryption time and decryption time are quite different matters, at least on my 200Lx.
Just to make the case specific I took an 11 character text file and encrypted it using my
2048 bit signature. It was reasonably quick, say 10 - 20 seconds or so, and it produced
a 310 byte result file.

However, reversing the process, decrypting the file took between 6 and 7 _minutes_ on my
single-speed 200Lx.

In my uses, a file will typically be decrypted many times for each time that it is encrypted.
I.e. _every_ time the file is modified, it is decrypted and then re-encrypted, but it will also
be decrypted many times just to get the information. So the decryption time is the thing that
dominates my usage, and that is what makes PGP next to useless for me on the 200 except in
emergency situations.

I note also, that if you are sending mail to someone who _reads_ it on the 200, then this is
a real burden. If they read the mail on their `big computer' doing the PGP calculations isn't
much of a problem. But if they do most of their work on the 200 itself, I doubt if they'd be
very happy to receive stuff this way...

Bob,

No battery expert here either, just speculation for
discussion. Batteries will vary from each other in various
parameters almost always. If two batteries mismatch on
internal resistance, then the one with more resistance will
deplete slower, while the other will deplete faster. All
you need is probably a tiny difference for the process to
begin.

If this explanation holds any validity, then it will
explain what you see and the repetitiveness of it. I have
no idea if this is a correct explanation.

Pkware says the longer password the more secure is the
encryption. Also they recommend to use letter, numbers and
other symbols, since it increases the range over which the
compression occurs with the password, increasing the number
of patterns possible and making life more miserable to
those who try to break it.

There are good password cracking programs that break pkzip.

First of all I will be the last person you should ask to
take software that belongs to someone else and make it
available to everyone. I regard it as stealing - very
simply.

Secondly, the software CANNOT be used except on EXP modems.
it is hard coded in the program.

Receive is fine. I do not know the comparison between BGFAX
and Minifax. Both are nice programs.

If it is the Exp exm we are talking about they do not work on other
modems. It checks to see if it got a Exp modem in the slot (or
something like that) and I can not use it with my Psion modem.

Did you use SIZER.WK1 in c:\sc7 to calculate correct size of memory
pool for the SC swap file ? Consult your SC doc's.

I would first do a chkdsk /f from DOS to make sure your C drive is OK.  Then
I would try without TREMM.  In most cases there is very little advantage of
using TREMM.

Hi,

sourceforge.net?  Of course, I'm volunteering to do the administrative
work and set-up the project and import the current versions of the

I haven't pulled it apart far enough to see if the boards are the same. The
keyboards and keyboard overlays appear to be identical, however, and the
applications are accessible from the blue keys, although they are different.

Good point about the . exm files on the d: drive. I'll check it out and report back.

Thanks for yours (and others) feedback

But it doesn't save the pages that are linked to from that page, does it?
That's what I need...

In the case of CGI results that are generated by posting forms, you can't
type the URL in and have it generate the page, so web retrieval utilities
that allow recursive web page downloads from a command prompt don't
work.  You could save each page manually from a web browser, but that
pretty much defeats the whole point of an automatic retrieval utility.

Yes, I have both Borland C++ 2.0 and Turbo C++ 1.0.  BC++ 2.0 was Rod

Aha -- with my 768-bit key, it takes 10-20 seconds to decrypt and is a lot
quicker at encryption.  Obviously it's not as secure as a 2048-bit key,
but at least it can be used on the 200LX without much trouble.

The must be the normal .exm files - they can't be found on the d: drive.

I may get adventurous this weekend and take the two apart. The one thing that I think is
going to be a problem is if I can get the motherboard from the 700 into the 200, I think
the built in applications will reference the 2nd pcmcia slot as where the phone is, and
on the 200 it is no. 1, not no. 2. There are a three LED's that have to be dealt with
too. hopefully they just unplug.

I *wondered* what had become of Rod.  He's been awfully scarce

Subject:      CPack on NT via IR
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi all.

A long time ago,  I was going to post results about connecting a 200LX to my NT
4.0 workstation via CPack and an IR interface.

Unfortunately, the IR device was misplaced, and I just found it now under a
stack of boxes.  The unit is from Extended Systems, a JetEye PC Infrared PC
Interface (part ESI-9610), tho I believe it's discontinued now.

Anyway, I connected the jeteye's serial to the NT station's Com1 serial port and
set the Filer and CPack settings to 115200 (interface setting on the LX was
"Infrared", and "Com1" on the NT).

Pressed F6 on CPack and the two systems connected and was able to transfer files
at 115200 via IR.

No other software, no drivers on either machine.  As they say .... "slicker 'n
snot".

- Longden

PS - I tested likewise on my Omnibook 800CT running Win95 and got the same good
results.  Breaks the heart that the OB's built-in IR doesn't have the same pixie
dust they sprinkled on the Jeteye.

A few days ago I posted my 200LX for sale on the list with a few

accessories.  Just out of curiosity, is there no demand for the stuff, are
the prices too high?  Just wondering...

I use a software called Teleport Pro.

Here is some info about it. Hope it can be any help for you.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Teleport Pro Version 1.29 for Windows 95/98/NT
(c) 1997-1999 Tennyson Maxwell Information Systems, Inc.

The fastest, most powerful file-retrieving robot on the Internet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Congratulations! You have obtained the most powerful offline browsing and
file-retrieving tool on the Internet.

Part Swiss Army knife, part chainsaw, Teleport Pro is a fully automated,
multithreaded, link-following, file-retrieving webspider. It will retrieve
all the files you want -- and only the files you want -- from any part of the
Internet. Teleport Pro can also

- Completely download a website, enabling you to "offline browse" the site
at much greater speeds than if you were to browse the site online
- Create an exact duplicate, or "mirror" of a website, complete with
subdirectory structure and all required files
- Search a website for files of a certain type (and even size!)
- Download a list of files from the Internet
- Explore every website linked from a central website
- Search a website for keywords
- Make a list of all pages and files on a website

Want to offline browse a website? Want to grab 400 sound files for a
multimedia presentation? Looking for just the right background graphic? A
list of every web page and file on a shareware site? Found a huge archive of
great graphics -- but don't want to wait for each of them to download? Found
a great link site, but don't have the time to check out every link?

No more waiting for slow pages to download. No more clicking on links for
hours, only to find garbage at the end of your trail.

Probably prices too high. There seems to be a fairly active market for the devices on EBay, but
as I haven't heard complaints about prices being bid up too high over there for some time now,
perhaps there is some slackening in demand.

Last I heard, Thaddeus didn't have any used units available, so you might estimate reasonable
used prices by discounting the `new' prices there somewhat. IIRC your price (was it $300?)
could only be compared with Thaddeus old `used' price of $400 for an 8MB machine. Since they
would charge $150 to upgrade a 1MB to an 8MB, that would give your machine a rough value of
$250. So your price doesn't seem _far_ out of line, but maybe a little high...

I kinda figured around $250 was right, but then I was including the HP Power
supply and RS232 cable...

Oh well.  I guess we'll see what happens.

If the modem init string is ATZ for your three modems, it only
means, that the stored profile 0 is restored. But the stored
profile 0 may differ on every of your three modems. Try AT&F
instead of ATZ to restore the (unchangeable) factory setting.

If this doesn't help, then it's getting harder, because you
have to find out the setting of the modems which work and then
you have to setup the not working modem with the working
parameters.

Newer modems report their complete setting with the command
AT\S
Write down the working setup and compare it with the not
working modem. If you find any difference, change it in the
not working modem and then save it to a profile, so that you
can restore it later.

A handbook of all 3 modems with the supported AT command set
would be very helpful for this job.

Good luck
Stefan

Open source does not guarantee there are no back doors. Expert
cryptologists have wondered for years (and are still wondering,
AFAIK), if the DES "S-boxes" part of the algorithm provided
a trap door that had been designed in by the NSA.
After all, the NSA did change all the S-boxes from IBM's
original design.  Even though the algorithm is public, and so
are many versions of software that incorporate the algoithm,
there could be a trick to it.

Bob,

I am no battery expert! just speculation for discussion.
Batteries will vary from each other in various parameters
almost always. If two batteries mismatch on internal
resistance, then the one with more resistance will deplete
slower, while the other will deplete faster. All you need
is probably a tiny difference for the process to begin.

If this explanation holds any validity, then it will
explain what you see and the repetitiveness of it. I have
no idea if this is a correct explanation.

I'll search the archives, BUT ... did you cover how to extract the
files you need from the installation disk set? I was hunting for
something the other day and found the disks ... I forget what
software/shareware is adapt at getting files out of their "file.ex_"
mode (last char. in the suffix is replaced w/ an underline). should I
hunt for this, or is everything I need buried in an obscure
subdirectory on one of my Win 9x CDs?

TIA,

PS. Is DOS 6.0 (6.2 or whatever) also easy to find? I think a friend
will part w/ his install disks, now that he doesn't need them any
more..., BUT it's always good to have the resources.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Hi All,

Been doing some thumb-typing .... discovered that I can't run
Buddy and then edit email in Post/LX anymore.

Is this because I upgraded to PE 2.2b?

I get an "out of memory" message, whether I try to edit mail in

Running SSC7 (default setup, with the Carousel patch, from
Thaddeus) in a 64MB, DS 200LX ... actually running the
Post/LX on a CF card right now, but that shouldn't make a
difference. I'm only running Buddy, on boot, in the first SSC
session, that way it's there for all my System Manager apps
(couldn't get it to automatically run in the other sessions).

I've tried going to session 2 (apps), running the buddy (.com)
file and gotten the same message.

Should I try to change the "environment" (Work area size) in
SSC, drop back to an earlier version of PE, or run something
like maxdos(?) to

Also, even though I can only find (on my system) one PE.exe, in
Post/LX, it reports being v. 2.2b, in DOS sessions, it reports v
2.2b+ and I think I saw it report 2.2c once tonight, though I
can't replicate it (I've done a dir/s for it on both a: and c:
and it's only in the sc-apps directory on c:).  What could be up
with that?

TIA

So what encryption scheme does PKZIP use? Is it DES?

EXTRACT.EXE in your Windows installation directory perhaps?
That's where it is on Win95 OSR2, and I can't remember doing
anything to put it there.  I also remember it being around on
some? all? MS-DOS 6 systems.

Not all OEM Windows 95B versions have USB support. "With USB Support" is
indicated on CD if it contains drives. If not, I suspect you could find
the drives on Microsoft's web site.

I added USB connectors to my motherboard. Not all motherboards have USB
capabilities.

My W95B + USB works fine with a USB Intel PC Camera

Subject:      Researching 200LX compatible ISP
Content-Type: text/plain
Mime-Version: 1.0

I'm going to be moving from Hawaii to North Carolina soon, so that means a new ISP.

I want to be able to use my 5mb DS 200LX - 14.4 to use WWW/lx to connect to my ISP and be able to use hv, post, telnet, and all that.

I want to e-mail around to various ISPs to see if I will be able to use their service.  My question is:  What do I need to ask?  What are some questions I can ask to see if they meet the requirements for me to be able to connect?

I've been looking into service providers in the area I'm going to be living, but, are there any nationwide ISPs like earthlink or netcom that already been proven to work on the Palmtop in all cases?  Or does it rely on the configuration of their local dialup I'd be using?

I've just gotten my first Palmtop recently, so I'm new to this.  I don't know how big of a search it is to find an ISP that is usable or if a script can be written for anything that disagrees.

thanks,
ct

sorry - of course, if the

my question.
It could have been that it is freeware or shareware, and with this

okay, that makes it impossible or at least useless to publish the

Thanks for your info.

But you already have the problem of non-DOS filenames.
DOS and Browsers will try to access links like
production.html, but there only exist produc~1.htm on the disk.
Outlook won't change those filenames, does it?

You have to use a Win 3.x or DOS grabber to have it changed automatically.

Of course you can change it manually. But what if you download a 100+ page?

Thanks for the tip.  I'll probably just use the rechargables.  I use
them for everything else.

I generally use Walgreen's batteries when I need alkaline...if I'm
going to be away from the charger for a while, etc.  They outlast
all the others and they cost a lot less.  I've used them in my 200lx
for years with a flash card and never had a problem.

I don't use a modem or read web pages with my 200lx.  I was just
answering a question.  By the way, I mis-stated the answer.  I do it
with Internet Explorer 5, not Outlook Express.

I still use a lot of old programs on my desktop with it's 20 gig
hard drive and I have that problem all the time.  I keep a 300 meg
partition for those programs to run in.

Can you partition a flash card?  I think I'd be a little surprised
if you could.

My largest flash card is 40 meg and I've never had that more than
about half full.  But there are things that I don't keep on it that
I might.  It's hard to imagine what I'd put on a 1.2 gig flash card.
I'm sure I'd find something, though.  :)

I mis-understood your question.  I thought you were asking about
downloading a single page with all its graphics, etc.  I didn't
realize you wanted the whole site.  By the way, I also had intended
to say I used Internet Explorer and not Outlook Express for this.

The only thing I know that will download an entire website is
Microsoft's FrontPage.  It's import feature will do that.  I suspect
other sitebuilding software will do the same.

That won't help with the CGI or ASP generated stuff as far as I
know.  It might recognize that and click the links to get those
pages but I'm not sure.  There would be a lot of chance for error
there, since what you enter before that point determines to some
extent what is generated.

The only CGI program I ever wrote could generate a wide variety of
content depending on the parameters entered.  All the content was
based on several templates but the program wouldn't have access to
them.

In short, what you're asking for is probably possible but I can't
imagine that it would be reliable.

Who is Rod Whitby?

I have a Palm 3x and I like it.  I bought Quartus Forth for it and
I'm slowly learning to use it on the Palm.  Learning to program the
GUI is slowing me down but I really am enjoying Forth and Quartus is
beautifully designed and integrated into the Palm.

If there was no GUI to put up with, it would be almost the perfect
hacking toy.  But there is so the 200lx and the HP48 are still in
the lead.

I've already decided to get the Color Palm when it's been out long
enough for the initial bugs to get shoo'd out.  I might become a
heretic at that point.  :)

There are several different AT commands to get infomation on settings from modems.  For example Psion ones seem to use AT&V, as does my USR Xjack.   With some S-register  86 tells you the connect failure reason. (ATS86?)

Can you post the results you get from using ATI0-ATI4 commands ?  That might indicate more about the product.

Can you find a debug-enabled DOSPPP ?

I had a fairly similar problem with EPPPD under GP, which came down to the mask for quoted characters.  Whatever we had on the other end I had to quote everything.   I've also had problems with a system that would not negotiate a packet size below 1500.  With EPPPD I can trace the exchange of packets, so I could see the argument!

I just found an old 5.25 Dos 5.0 boot disk from the "good old days".

...or EXPAND.EXE?  That's in the DOS 5.0 installation.  It's
been a while, and right now I'm looking at both of these through
FreeBSD's support for mounting FAT filesystems so I can't just
run them to find out.

The adapter fits any standard printer port, but HP told me that it only
works with the DJ340, when I bought
it.    Like all things, I am sure it could be hacked by someone with the
expertise and time in their hands.
(I am thinking software hacking).

Turns out that there are Unix utilities that do just what I want.  Wget
will recursively download an entire site, and curl will allow you to
download generated pages behind POST forms.  I got the information I
needed and now just have to convert the filenames over so I can use them
on the 200LX.  Thanks to everybody who suggested programs, and thanks to
Laust for pointing out that I already had the tools on hplx.net to do what
I needed.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Hello,

Has anyone ever had Post/LX crash after they have cleared all
messages out their email inbox. I have successfully duplicated
this scenario, producing the "No Online Program Specified In
Post.Cfg" error the next time I try to retrieve my email.

I have checked and rechecked my setup and everything compairs
to the backup I made on a CF card. Stranger still, when I copy
the backup files to my C:\WWW working directory, I get the same
error, requiring a complete reinstall of all components (WWW2.1,
Post2) to bring the program back to full functionality. This is
only the case for email. Newsgroups are not affected by this.

If I keep one message in my email box, the program doesn't
exhibit this peculiarity. Any ideas what would cause this? Just
curious.

TIA
WEB

I'm trying to set up X-Finder v.10 so I can have a zip file of text files
and go into it, click on (well, press Enter on) one of the files, have it
automatically be extracted from the zip file, and viewed in VR.  I think
X-Finder automatically does the temporary extraction when you click on a
file inside a zip file, but I can't get it to work right and load the
temporary file in another program, either VR or PalEdit or anything.  Can
somebody tell me how to set this up in the config file?

What version of Derive do you have, or why can't you run that on the 100LX?

Derive is copyrighted software that is still being sold.  If you want a
copy, they sell it at www.derive.com, I believe.

Dear List,

When in the list view of postingds, I sometimes want to jump
from where I am to the next separator. I can't see any
distinguishing feature to search for apart from the hyphen.
Unfortunately this appears in every header of every other
post. Any ideas?

I now put pound signs in my posts with Software Carousel and
PalEdit thanks to Tony Hutchins macro for Alt-P.
Unfortunately, somebody told me they arrive as hashes.

Test...(they look OK on the screen as I write them)
Pound #

Thanks in advance.

The paperwork that came with mine stated it would only work with
the 340.  I have not tried it with any other printer I have, for
the sake of possibly damaging the adapter.

Keep them straight, Extract and Expand are not interchangeable.

EXTRACT.EXE is the program to unpack Microsoft .CAB (cabinet) files.  This
is how Microsoft distributes Windows.

EXPAND.EXE is the MS-DOS utility for restoring compressed files on DOS
distributions.  These files have their extensions modified with the last
character replaced by an underscore (_).  On my MS-DOS distribution of three
diskettes, EXPAND.EXE is found on disk 3.


They do not do the same thing.  See the results of asking each utility for

No, I believe it is something unique to PKZIP.  I think it is more of a
data scambling routine than strong encryption.

While I've seen the brute force Zip crackers I don't know how good they
are.  When the strength of Zip's encryption was first discussed long ago
PKWARE had a decryption contest.   They supplied an encrypted Zip and
challenged anyone to open it.  I don't believe anyone was successful.

When finishing Curtis Cameron's games (like FreeCell) there is a
bouncing card display that runs significantly faster when running the LX
on the AC adapter compared to running on battery.  The LX uses a crystal
clock (which keeps the real time clock quite accurate) so why does the
apparant speed of the LX slow down when off AC power?

The Kodak's can't really use alkaline.  I use Nexcell NIMHrechargeables in
mine and get 100 shots between charges regularly.  Get these at

And by the way, not all versions of EXTRACT.EXE are the same.  Microsoft
decided to use a different compression algorithm for .CAB files produced for
Internet Explorer 4 and later, as well as for Windows 98, so it's possible
to get an "ERROR: Unknown compression type in cabinet file <cabinet>.cab"
message if you don't use the latest form.

Russel Brooks <rlbrooks@POBOX.COM> asked about the speed difference when
running on batteries and charger.

The "light sleep" function is checking to see if it can shut down parts of
the LX. The same thing happens with most compilers running on batteries.
They tend to be slower. Plug in a charger or get the TSR that defeats light
sleep and the compiler will apparently run faster.

This should be easy.  I have it set up to do something similar, but the
files are in an LZH archive, and List is the default viewer.  If you
have the viewer and editor working OK, then they should also work for
text files in archives.  Either set VR as the default viewer or assign
a Shiftletter key combo to open files in VR.

If you want to send me your .env file, I'll look it over and see if I
can come up with something.

I'm sure that Peniel will have your answer but if not, let me know. I wanted
to do the same so I can keep lots of txt files in a sort of database while
not eating up precious space. I use the long file names to have good
desriptions of
the files and my x-finder TXT file view and edit works with both LZH and ZIP
files. I can send you my env file for comparison.

Also remember that sometimes when this does not work it is because there is
not enough DOS memory. Make sure you close all applications and try it
again.

Subject:      Commcheck

I downloaded Comchk from Super in the hopes that I could connect my Palm
IIIx to the HP200lx and utilize the 200lx's PCMCIA modem.

I've set it up for 8n1 at 14400 from port 1 (serial) to port 2 (PCMCIA)
then connected the HotSync cradle to the 200lx cable via a null modem
adapter.  The Palm is never able to see the modem in a modem HotSync.
I've also tried controlling the modem using pttelnet on the Palm and have
no luck that route either.

Has anyone else attempted this or have an opinion on whether it could
work and things I should try differently?

Also, are the IR protocols of the Palm and the 200lx incompatible?  I've
tried a few programs that are supposed to be able to print to a terminal
program via IR port.  The 200lx just gives me garbage when I try it using
Datacomm.  Maybe these two great machines just won't get along...ever.
Too bad; I like something on each of them.

Folks,

I like many assumed that since Act for the HP 1.1.1 could
not see 2/29/2000 that it would be useless after that date.

Lo and behold it now thinks 2/28 was a Tuesday and 3/1 A
Wednesday.
In other works it is working fine for dates AFTER 2/29!

It shows the correct day of the Week for the Date.

Of course, that means you're using more power, too -- in some cases triple
the power that the palmtop uses when light sleep is enabled.

Hello friends,

to all diabetics of you:

I've now made DMSIM and a new freeware version of Basalraten-Verwaltung
available on my home page.

DMSIM is a program that may be useful for you if you use the Windows
software 'Camit' to keep track of you sugar data, read about it at

http://daniel.hplx.net/dmsim


Basalraten-Verwaltung is useful if you wear an insulin pump, use a
Windows PC and if you understand the German language ;-)
I've not (yet?) made an English version. If there's interest in an
English version, please drop me a line. Maybe I'll soon have the time
to make an English version.
Basalraten-Verwaltung (=basal rate administration) helps you to store,
compare and especially DRAW your basal rate. Read about it at

I'm still here ...

Curent work pressures mean that I can only catch up on HPLX-L
every couple of days instead of every day.

The rumours are true - I'm now the proud owner of a Palm V,
and I have begun developing a TV guide program for it (a
collaboration with the Showtimes author).

I still read HPLX-L on the HP200LX ...

If you have derive, what do you need more? I'm also a science student

Perhaps you read my email with the subject Plusfailure?

Twice I have got indexerrormessages of the emailinbox whitout being able =
to opening it in Plus but had to open the file in Filer/memo where I =
discovered that the inboxfile was in a mess with a lot of lost emails.

The last time I got the brilliant idea to run chkdsk and then I got the =
message that I had several interlinked files(I use the swedish expression,=
I am sure the failure has another name in english).It was as many as =
15-20.

I then run the command:chkdsk/f  which took care of the problem,and I am =
sure that this is why I got this problem with my emailinbox.I had some =
other smaller problems with some newsgroups which  disapeared.

I am not saying that you have the some problem,just wanted to mention it.

Turns out to be an impossible work, if you have to rename some hundred files.

If you use a Windows 3.x tool like WebWhacker it will rename the downloaded

files automatically. When I download a whole site, it is usually for reference.

For reference means, that it is a lot.

I found another good solution for my reference stuff:

Many websites are well formatted using tables. Those formatting goes lost, if
you use HV. Of course, HV enables you to view single table cells. But it is
the FORMATTING use that gets lost. In such cases I use HTMSTRIP to convert HTM
files to ASCII text files. Formatted parts are converted into ASCII. The borders
are then drawed as ASCII lines. Looks and works very well. Then I cut and paste
the stuff into Notetaker.

If someone wants to know, how the supersite looks after this conversion, I can
send the file offline.

Thats cool.. I think it is nice when this old dos thingy can be used
for these kinds of things. I use it "only" for mail/news + Pim so when
I hear others use it for even more I use the info to "fight evil"
(Micro$oft CE and others:-)): "Why buy a flashy CE unit when you can
use a Hplx instead"..

Yes talent is maybe not the right word. I hope I find it interesting,
so I stick with it until my money is safe so I can start investing the
profit. If I find it interesting then I will hopefully learn how to
earn money on it in the long run.

Yep I think so :-) I have no idea what I talk about so I guess so.. It
would be nice to have a spreadsheet that calculated what to invest in
Without me learning anything.. But I have to learn to crawl before I
start running. So I need to teach myself about the basics of stocks
first.

I understand. As a newbie in that market I probably will not need any
thing else than just reading/understanding the stock market and how
things works.

Yes I thought so. The problem is not getting info. But filtering the
amount of info and finding the info that is importent to me and my
stocks. And of course understanding how the stockmarket moves/function.

It should not be a problem investing the money, but if I want to not
lose them it will need some insight..

The following was in "HP95DEV.ZIP" from S.U.P.E.R (MISC.DOC).  Does it
apply to the 200LX and is it a part of "light sleep" or separate?

 =============================================================================
HP 95LX DISPLAY REFRESH RATE
 =============================================================================

The frame rate (the number of times the LCD is scanned, or refreshed per
second) for the HP 95LX changes, depending upon whether or not the AC adapter
is plugged in.  When the AC adapter is plugged in, the LCD refresh rate is
73.14 Hz.  When the AC adapter is not plugged in (ie, running off of
batteries)
the refresh rate is 56.8 Hz.

I didn't know the name because I've never used a modem with my
200lx.  I bought a Megahertz xjack 14.4 modem for it a few months
ago on the web for $10 but I haven't used it.

Offhand I'd say that anyone who's interested in making commercial
PDA software is smart for moving over to the Palm.  The market is
big and getting bigger fast.  I suspect the color Palm that just hit
the stores will make it grow even faster.

Even though it's much newer than the 200lx and doesn't have years
and years of Dos software to fall back on, the variety and quality
of available software is pretty impressive.  It'll catch up with the
200lx.  It still has a way to go, though.

Sim City was just released for the Palm. :)

The real time clock and the system timer that controls the cpu speed
and memory refresh, etc, are different devices.

I think I remember that the real time clock is read on boot-up and
then the Dos time is kept updated by an interrupt generated by a
countdown of the timer.  For that reason, speeding up or slowing
down the timer (often done in games and any program that plays
music) can affect the clock if the program doesn't compensate.

I remember that that is also true of the LX since I wrote a music
program a few years ago and I had to avoid affecting the time.  With
that in mind it seems that since the LX doesn't normally get booted
very often because turning it on doesn't reboot, slowing down the
cpu would affect the time.  I'm not sure why it doesn't.  The cpu
does slow down a lot.  Between keystrokes, for example.

Maybe the real time clock is read whenever the system is turned on
in the lx.  That would be non-standard but I can't see what it would
hurt.  Also, maybe there's some built in compensation when the cpu
slows down.  Anybody know?

Where is Mark Scardinia when we need him?  :)

Hi gang-

Barry brought up the difference between the Real Time Clock and the
BIOS time.  In most PCs these are (I think) synchronized on bootup.
Checked the LX ref and found that the palmtop resets the BIOS clock on
power-up, even though it doesn't reboot then.  It's necessary because
in deep sleep mode (power off), the 18mS timer is stopped.

Larry,

I've got a project going on at work that involves connecting the Palm to an
external modem. Although I've read in numerous places that using the
HotSync cradle and adapter combination should work, I and a number of
people I work with have never been able to make a connection.

I gave up and ordered a HotSync cable. It seems to be the same cable
without the cradle. That cable worked like a charm the first time I tried.
You can order one ($19.95) from http://palmorder.modusmedia.com

Look at http://zerodefect.net/danreed/palmemailfaq.txt for a discussion of
these setups.

Hi All!

I would like to thank all of you that responded to my serious problems
with the configuration of DOSPPP and my modem. As you know, I tried
everything and nothing worked. But now I know what works and want to
share it with others which might have a simmilar problem.

The problem was in my PPPDRC.CFG file and I could never even imagine
that this could make it to work. But of some reason I just tried it and
now it works great! My PPPDRC.CFG file now looks like this:

COM1
19200
irq 4
local
connect "chat -v -r pppdconn.lst -f chatscr"
namsrv 165.21.83.88
namsrv 165.21.100.88

The problem was that I had 'modem' instead of 'local'. Don't ask me why
it's like this- I don't know. Anyway, it works and I am happy!

Regards,

Jorgen

Any sokoban fans out there?

I've completed Al Schoeps LX version of Sokoban (version 1.1) and found
another error in the level data file. Last year sometime I found that
level 39 had an error. Level 78 is also bad. Both were easily fixed,
allowing me to solve all the levels.

Some of the last levels were disappointingly simple. And a lot in the 50's
and 60's were also rather lame. The hardest in my opinion were the 40's.
There was one that had me stumped for a couple weeks, so I took a break
for a couple months. When I came back to it, I must have seen it
differently and solved it rather quickly.

Now to find something else to waste my time ;)

Mike, where did you find this?  I've played all the way through
the Goldmine clone by David Yip (available on SUPER), and enjoyed
it quite a lot.  I would like to get the game you describe.

I don't know of any patches, but you can fix the data file hp-sok.sok
with a hex editor.

Offset 31A9 should be 77     for level 39

Offset 61FD should be 77  and
Offset 61FE should be 77     for level 78

It's on the Palmtoppaper CD-Infobase if you have that, search for HP-SOK.
Apparently it's also on nifty according to this link

http://www.yk.rim.or.jp/~honda/HP200LX-soft2.html

I haven't found it anywhere else. It's postcardware, but I don't know if
it can be distributed other than the above methods.

(By the way, is that an X-Finder screen shot at the top of this link? It
doesn't look like any I've seen.)

One nice feature of HP-SOK is that it includes a level compiler. There are
websites that have new levels to download and compile. Maybe I'll look
into that instead of leaving Sokoban.

Can be had brand new for $499 (J&R Music World NYC). So I figure $350 in
near new condition with manuals

$50.. maybe $70 if near new.

$40 apiece (assuming cables come with packs)

Subjective

Leather? Clamshell? Belt Clip? Hard to say...

I'd say no more than $500 for the whole sh'bang. There are other factors to
consider too. Waranty, credit card purchase, face-to-face transaction or
mail, etc.

Considering the text in the middle of the picture and the fact that the
filename is topcard.gif, I'd say that, well, it was just a cleverly made
topcard for the LX.

I'm trying to set up X-Finder v.10 so I can have a zip file of text files

automatically be extracted from the zip file, and viewed in VR.  I think
X-Finder automatically does the temporary extraction when you click on a
file inside a zip file, but I can't get it to work right and load the
temporary file in another program, either VR or PalEdit or anything.  Can
somebody tell me how to set this up in the config file?

That's what I thought. I've only taken a quick look at X-Finder and didn't
recall anything like that. It would be an interesting interface if it was
real.

Dear List Members,

Thank you for replies to my posts. Three matters:

1) My client has now found 10 new HP200s courtesy of Thomas
Rundel.

2) For the curious, he was prepared to pay $469 US for a 2MB
model.

3) For the incredulous, I'm not sure how many I "expected". I
had hoped someone might know a source, or one of the occasional
commercial posters might have some. Don't ask - never know.

Best regards,

Chris Randle

The one major problem about the colour Palm is the battery
life: apparently, it's under 10 hours of continuous use.

I know that there are a lot of anti-MS people in this group,
but I would much rather go with a WinCE machine than a Palm.
As far as I can see, the WinCE machines are far more
powerful than the Palms - my brother let me use his Palm III
fairly extensively, and I can say that it was a very limited
palmtopping experience compared to the power and
functionality of the trusty LX.

With WinCE on the other hand, the OS and hardware is far
more powerful (albeit with plenty of downsides, such as low
reliability, miserable battery life) - and one major
advantage for us LXers is that you can get a DOS emulator.

On a more personal level, I prefer keyboard-based palmtops
to those without - I'm lucky in that I find typing
comfortable even on the LX's keyboard. For me, a nice future
replacement for the LX would be something like HP's Jornada
690 (if anyone's using/used one, why not post a review?) -
apparently, a very good machine - but a little smaller, and
with a better, more stable version of WinCE.

> Sim City was just released for the Palm. :)

Alternatively, you can play it on your LX. Release date?
Must be getting on for over a decade now, probably more.
There's progress for you...

There seems to be several versions of Sokoban; I play one written for
the 95LX by Hans de Vreught dated 1992.  I'm still stuck on level 14,
I'm impressed that you've finished all levels!  (I assume the levels are
the same?)

Subject:      Re: Commcheck

I'm looking at the pinouts on the Palm and on the HP.  I'm getting a bit
confused as to what should be going where.

HP      Palm
9 RI    9
8 RTS   8 RTS
7 CTS   7 CTS
6 DTR   6 DTR
5 SG    5 SG
4 DSR   4
3 RD    3 RD
2 TD    2 TD
1 CD    1

Were I to make an adapter to connect the Palm to the HP200lx for use with
Comchk, I'd want to swap the output of 8 & 7 and 2 & 3 on the Palm side
right?  RTS should talk to CTS and RD should talk to TD?  I know these
are dumb questions but I'm an English major/law student - not an
engineer.

Thanks.

Larry Zimmerman

PS - What was the US source for the connectors which fit the 200lx's 10
pin port?  Price?

Wrong! The link still works, but...

MIME-Version: 1.0

A quick look through palmtop.net didn't yield any answers to the following
questions, so I thought I'd ask the list:

There's a freeware program to use the Kodak DC20 digital camera with the
LX.  What sort of file are the images saved as- jpeg? gif?  Also, how
large are the images (in kb, I mean)?  Finally, how does one connect the
camera to the LX-- does it require making up a special cable?

Thanks,

With POST/LX I can dial up through freeserve (a UK ISP) and send mail
out through *other*, non-freeserve, SMTP servers. So far I have tried
those for compuserve and attglobal and both normally give "550" error
messages if you don't dial in though then. But there is definitely some
magic about Freeserve!! Anybody else tried this? Must be at least one
other person using freeserve - it certainly lives up to it's name!<G>

Probably true, but Rod makes open-source freeware, so there's no excuse

My vague recollection is that Microsoft had a COMPRESS program which
is the inverse of EXPAND, and that it was shipped with some of Microsoft's
language products (Visual BASIC 3.0 perhaps).  Haven't had to think about
this for about five years though.

BTW, thanks to Alan Striegel for pointing out the differences between
EXTRACT and EXPAND.

Thanks for this info.  This is what I'm trying to figure out and can't
find in the documentation ... what do the particular codes mean?  I gather
the c after 90 has something to do with the control key, but what about
the rt after the 200?  And what are the percent codes?  In my file I see
%t, %p, %k, %x, %c ... all used.  What do they mean?

Stephan Goeldi <stephan.goeldi@DATACOMM.CH> asked about printing to an HP

I have a 500C DJ.  I tipped it over and saw two plugs. One is an old
Centronics plug which is connected to my old DOS/win31 PC. The other is a 25
pin serial plug (for the past seven years I'd assumed that it was a parallel
plug: Duh?!) I hooked a cable that changed 25 pin to 9 pin serial and hooked
the 9 pin side to a Radio Shack gender changer and from there to the Cpack
connectivity cable plugged into the Ptop. I opened a text file in MEMO and
used Menu, File, Print  It worked! Well the formatting and margins left
something to be desired. I didn't try printing from any other app or from
DOS.

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

Someone gave me Matlab 3.5 for dos (student edition) the other day,
knowing I use a dos palmtop and having bought Matlab for Windows for
her own use.  I tried it on the 200lx and it works just fine.  Text
and graphics.

It was a little tricky to install since it only wants to install
from the A: drive to a hard drive and wouldn't install on the flash
card.  So I installed it on an old dos laptop and copied the
installation to the palmtop.  I then modified the batch file that
starts it and wallah!  It works great.

I don't think I've ever seen Matlab discussed before for the palmtop
before.  Maybe no-one is interested.  But just in case......

Turbo C 2.01 is available at community.borland.com/museum.  That

there and so is Turbo C.

This is the uninstalled regular version (as opposed to the

Debugger or Turbo Profiler.  But the IDE and command line compiler,

<<<<The one major problem about the colour Palm is the battery
life: apparently, it's under 10 hours of continuous use.>>>>

Thats probably a week's normal use for most people.  Not bad for
color.  Also someone (I forget the link) on the web did a series of
tests and found that the batteries lasted between 6 and 16 hours
depending on the brightness setting.   And that the brighter
settings usually are too bright.

<<<<I know that there are a lot of anti-MS people in this group,
but I would much rather go with a WinCE machine than a Palm.
As far as I can see, the WinCE machines are far more
powerful than the Palms - my brother let me use his Palm III
fairly extensively, and I can say that it was a very limited
palmtopping experience compared to the power and
functionality of the trusty LX.>>>>

I'm not anti-MS at all.  I do agree that the LX is much more
powerful than the Palm or the WinCE machines.

<<<<With WinCE on the other hand, the OS and hardware is far
more powerful (albeit with plenty of downsides, such as low
reliability, miserable battery life) - and one major
advantage for us LXers is that you can get a DOS emulator.>>>>

The WinCE machines are probably a lot better if you want multimedia.
But for a thing to keep addresses and phone numbers and appointments
and notes, I think the Palm might have all the capability of the
WinCE machines.  Just as the 200lx does even though it comes with
2-4 meg and has a 7.? mHz 16 bit cpu.  The palm, like the LX, uses
small apps so memory is more than adequate.  I've never been short
of memory in my 8 meg Palm.  It's just not an issue.  And like the
LX, it's apps and OS are written efficiently so they're fast.

<<<<On a more personal level, I prefer keyboard-based palmtops
to those without - I'm lucky in that I find typing
comfortable even on the LX's keyboard. For me, a nice future
replacement for the LX would be something like HP's Jornada
690 (if anyone's using/used one, why not post a review?) -
apparently, a very good machine - but a little smaller, and
with a better, more stable version of WinCE.>>>>

I agree with this.  I prefer the keyboard, too.  I'm getting pretty
good with Graffiti but typing is still much faster, easier and more
accurate.

> Sim City was just released for the Palm. :)

<<<<Alternatively, you can play it on your LX. Release date?
Must be getting on for over a decade now, probably more.
There's progress for you...>>>>

It's already available.  I downloaded the demo and played it.  It
looks great.  Probably even better on a color Palm.  It scrolls too
fast and that makes it hard to play, but I suspect that's
controllable.  I didn't have docs.

I'm interested.

Anyone know how Matlab 3.5 for DOS compares to Derive 3/4?

Subject:  Matlab 3.5 for Dos




Someone gave me Matlab 3.5 for dos (student edition) the other day,
knowing I use a dos palmtop and having bought Matlab for Windows for
her own use.  I tried it on the 200lx and it works just fine.  Text
and graphics.

It was a little tricky to install since it only wants to install
from the A: drive to a hard drive and wouldn't install on the flash
card.  So I installed it on an old dos laptop and copied the
installation to the palmtop.  I then modified the batch file that
starts it and wallah!  It works great.

I don't think I've ever seen Matlab discussed before for the palmtop
before.  Maybe no-one is interested.  But just in case......

Hi David -

You're right about the c character.  The numbers are the amount of
memory alloted for the app.  The rt means: Shift key for the command,
replace the file in an archive if working in an archive.  The t is for
shift, the r is for replacing the archived file.  The % stuff:

%c =3D file name (with extension)
%x =3D file name (no extension)
%p =3D path (with trailing \)
%q =3D path (no \)
%t =3D trash basket (recycle bin)
%k =3D edit/run the command

You can find the info on these and the rest of the codes at the end of
finder.env and also in finenv.txt

LXPIC saves as a PCX file, but there are programs out there that will convert
the IMG to JPG.  These were discussed at length over a year ago (when I still
had my DC20).

Also, the serial cable that comes with the DC20 can plug onto the LX's serial
cable using an adapter (null modem?), but as John mentions, this is a bulky
arrangement.

Some DC20 website's (I no longer have the URLs) described how to construct a
custom plug for the DC20 that converted to a serial pin socket which was then
pluggable for the LX serial cable.  I made one myself, and I'm two left hands in
the shop, so it's not too difficult.

Sorry I don't have more details ... didn't keep up with it after I sold the
camera.

Hi Ain

I use LXDC.exm that transfers & saves as .IMG that are 130k048

Then view with LXPIC & convert to JPG

The DC20 comes with a camera to serial cable but a custom cable is

Actually there is a bit of confusion about the IIIc's battery life.  A few
of
the early reviews (like cnet) assumed the battery life would suffer as it
has so clearly suffered on CE units...   A company (name escapes me)
ran some battery life comparisons between the Palm V and Palm IIIc
and found the following:

Palm V (with backlight off), and Palm IIIc with brightness set on high
(which
most say is too bright to use) both averaged 8-10hrs of battery life.
Setting
the Palm IIIc's brightness to the low setting resulting in over 16 hours of
battery life.

Im a long time HPLX user,  have tried using CE units in the past, and have
been a daily user of the Palm V for the past 4-6 months.   The Palm V is the
closest ive come to battery life nirvana since the HPLX... I sometimes to
put
it on the charger for weeks at a time, but im almost never wanting for
power.

By contrast the CE units ive used tend to go dead within a couple days even
if you NEVER turn them on or use them... so its a constant reminder in the
back
of your head that you better change the batteries or recharge it or its
history. I
have always seen that as THE biggest problem with CE.

Its not in question the the current crop of CE units are more
powerful than the Palm, but by the same token so is my notebook
and i get about the same amount of use from it before im hunting
for a wall outlet. :)

the killer problem for me is battery life... if a handheld is not there
ready to run when i need it... then its a waste of my time to carry
it around... I found when i used a CE machine that it was offline
more often than ready to use.   The DOS emulator is a plus for
CE from an LX perspective... and XTCE even supports the LX
graphics extensions.

I prefer a keyboard as well, but ive recently started using a 3rd
party palm add-on which places a keyboard over the normal HWR
area... i use it for telnetting... kind of nice to hook up my Sprint
phone to my Palm V and connect to the internet and telnet to
a unix system, etc. etc. all from wherever i happen to be.

There's quite a few versions of Sokoban for everything from Palm devices
to Xwindow on unix. I think a lot of them do have the same levels.

It get's easier after playing awhile. The puzzles get harder, but you
start to see traps before they're a problem, and you learn some of the
tricks. Once you've learned these, some of the later levels become more a
test of endurance than a challenging puzzle. I recall one where you have
to push a block from one side, then go all the way around the puzzle to
the other side to give it a push, then back and forth, again and again it
seemed. Very tedious. Most aren't like that though.

You found Thumbtype outside of Japan?  Where?  Or are you
refering to some other product?  Does it work with the English
language Palm OS?  How does it compare to typing on the
HP200LX?

I thought I had solved this once before but I've been changing things
around on my system lately (including using a different flash disk),
anyway, here is the problem, probably pretty simple for someone:

In my autoexec.bat I load some (relatively small) programs, then finally
conclude with the lines:

maxdos -l
200
maxdos -r

This starts up the palmtop system as it should.   Now here is the problem,
when I set the 'dos size' above 380 (setup; f5 system; advanced; Dos=390)
and I go back to the system manager and try to start DOS it fails ('not
enough memory to open the application')   Now, I KNOW (from running a
DOS session before, and running mem /c in it), that the memory structure
looks like this (when I've run DOS from the system manager with the DOS
mem set at 380)

Name            Size

MSDOS           20800
COMMAND         2992
...etc
200             208800
FREE            386304

Ok, so why didn't the system (i.e. 200) get out of the way for the
expanded DOS session?  Isn't this what 'maxdos' is supposed to do?
Thanks,

MaxDos doesn't automatically get you the extra ram for the large DOS session
unless it's specifically invoked from within AppMgr (in addition to the
references in your autoexec.bat).

Your autoexec.bat "maxdos -l" simply loads MaxDos to make it available.  Once in
AppMgr, you can (for instance) create an icon that has this in the "Path:"

     Path: a:\maxdos.com |

And what you'll get is a DOS session that has completely swapped out 200.

Changing the value for DOS memory in Setup/System/Advanced is independent of
MaxDos.... if you're at 386304 free and you ask for 390k, you're not going to
get it using the normal DOS icon, but you can still get that much (and more) if
an icon is setup to run MaxDos.

I hope I haven't muddled things completely.

and I go back to the system manager and try to start DOS it fails ('not
enough memory to open the application')   Now, I KNOW (from running a
DOS session before, and running mem /c in it), that the memory structure
looks like this (when I've run DOS from the system manager with the DOS
mem set at 380)

Name            Size

MSDOS           20800
COMMAND         2992
...etc
200             208800
FREE            386304

Ok, so why didn't the system (i.e. 200) get out of the way for the
expanded DOS session?  Isn't this what 'maxdos' is supposed to do?

You can find tools for dumping GDB files to comma seperated text files and
vice versa on SUPER - search for "gdbdump" or "dbusrc". The latter is the
source code to the first (written in C), so there in a way you will have a
description of the database format. I also think there are more formal
specifications available, but I don't know where (LX reference guide
perhaps?). I have never needed a description of the file format, using
gdbdump/gdbload to do the hard work has always been enough for me :-)

The short answer is yes, but it will take me a while to remember where I found all of those
documents as it is several years since I looked at them. Try the Hp200 Ring, which would can
find from lots of places including http://www.palmtoppaper.com/

Content-Type: text/plain

The little rubber grips (for lack of a better description), have worn down on my Palmtop and the bottom has gotten a couple shallow scratches because of it, so I want to replace them.

I think I've read about this somewhere, but I haven't been able to find the article again.  I may have read it in the archive of this mailing list.

Anyways, I'm sure some of you have had this problem, so where can I get some replacement grips?  I would like some that are slightly larger, or a little more dense so they won't wear down too quickly.

thanks,
ct

Download it as HTML, then use HTMSTRIP to convert it to ASCII. Cut and Pa=

If you intend to write an EXM program, you have DBTEST on SUPER with

Hmm if it has a standard Hplx plug in one end and the plug you describe
in the other you could use it to connect your Hp to a Olympus Digicam
and download/take pictures. I have Olympus and I use hplx cable +
adapter for this.

<<<<There's a freeware program to use the Kodak DC20 digital camera

how
large are the images (in kb, I mean)?  Finally, how does one connect
the
camera to the LX-- does it require making up a special cable?>>>>

I just got a Kodak DC280.  It saves images as jpeg files on a
compact flash.  The hi-res pictures are usually about 300k-500k and
the lo-res are about 125k-150k.  If the DC20 is older (just going by
the number) it'll have even lower resolution and smaller files.   On
the 280, and maybe older ones, the amount of loss in the compression
is selectable.  The numbers I gave are for the least loss and
largest files.

It came with a 35 meg Sandisk compact flash card that the 200lx can
read.  But I'm not sure what advantage there would be in that.  You
couldn't view the pictures on the LX.  For extra storage you can buy
extra flash cards.

I've been told that the lo-res pictures are better than you need
unless you're printing.  If they'll be viewed on a screen it's got
much better resolution than the screen.  So that means my flash card
can hold over 200 pictures of 150k each since I won't normally be
printing them.  If I want to print and use hi-res then I can still
hold 70 pictures of 500k each.  Extra flash cards are cheap enough
if I want more.

On the other hand a laptop with a pcmcia slot and a good screen
would let you view the pictures and would provide huge off-line
storage.  It could hold literally thousands of pictures.  2000 of
the largest picture files per gig.

Paul,

IBM has upgraded their Bookmanager free "Library Reader" to be able to
read any Bookmanager book.

IBM has 1000s of DOC for all sort of hardware and software in
BookManager format.

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

<<<<Anyone know how Matlab 3.5 for DOS compares to Derive 3/4?>>>>

I'm probably the wrong one to answer this since I don't know enough
math to make good use of either program.  But I do use Windows
Matlab on my desktop.  I do simple animations and it's a big help
understanding problems I run into.

Matlab is oriented around matrices.  Everything is a matrix to it.
Even scalars.  It does everything else, too, but matrices are at the
center of it's design.  That's why it's useful to me.  Everything is
done with matrices in animation.  When I got into this I didn't even
know what a matrix was.  Matlab was reccomended as a way to learn.
I still don't understand them but I know how to use them now.

On the 200lx I think Matlab's interface is nicer but I'm sure a lot
would disagree.  Matlab is command oriented.  Just like dos.  Derive
has a menu system modelled after Lotus 123.  That probably means
fewer keypresses but I'm more accustomed to commands.

Derive does use a split screen to let you see graphs and functions
at the same time.  You can edit the function while looking at the
graph.  That's pretty nice.

Matlab either shows you the graph screen or the editing screen.  It
toggles between them.

Both work very nicely on the 200lx.  There's no problem with dim
colors.  Or if there is, they were invisible and I didn't know
enough to miss them.  :)

Derive also has a 95lx mode although I haven't tried that.  Both
programs are small.  200 or 300k.  Something like that.  Derive is
much easier to install but Matlab, once insatlled, can be zipped and
reinstalled from the zip file.

I'm not sure I'll actually use either one of these on the palmtop.
I might use Matlab, but for me it's easier to use the Windows
version.  I rarely program on my desktop computer and it's sometimes
nice to have reference material on a seperate screen when I'm
programming on my palmtop or my laptop.

How well does that keyboard overlay work?  I've seen the ads and
it's tempting.

I have the GoType keyboard but since I never have it with me I've
never gotten in the habit of using it.  I think I've used it twice
in the year that I've had it.  Once to try it out and once because I
felt guilty about not using it for so long.  :)

Ed Keefe mentioned, that he simply plugged in the LX serial cable into the

not necessary to change the dip switches?

I searched about 2 hours for HP Deskjet 550c documentation on HP website ...
Didn't find anything. Speaking of information architecture ...

Why not just e-mail the message to yourself, then pick it up with the
computer running Outlook Express. This is the solution I use when on the
road with only my 200LX for e-mail. Just c.c. yourself on all outgoing
messages and you will have a copy available when you get back home. This
assumes of course that you leave all mail on your POP3 server when using
the LX. WWW/LX makes this easy to do.

I don't know where to order replacements that are larger than "standard issue",
but the regular ones can be bought as part of a $20 spare parts kit from HP.

The kit includes several rubber feet, hinge caps, battery covers, screws, IR
covers, lithium battery trays, etc.

Details on the part number and phone number were posted earlier in the year:

Subject:  replacement rubber grips for palmtop




The little rubber grips (for lack of a better description), have worn down on my
Palmtop and the bottom has gotten a couple shallow scratches because of it, so I
want to replace them.

I think I've read about this somewhere, but I haven't been able to find the
article again.  I may have read it in the archive of this mailing list.

Anyways, I'm sure some of you have had this problem, so where can I get some
replacement grips?  I would like some that are slightly larger, or a little more
dense so they won't wear down too quickly.

Well I dropped my 660lx and it died.  I don't know how many times I have
dropped the 200 lx and it just keeps going.
I hope thaddeus fixes jornadas.

Anyway,
I am finding that I use the 200lx a lot for email, and taking quick notes.
I have also converted my word documentation to .rtf's and use the docrtf
utility to convert to memo type doc files.  Then I can carry documentation
with me.
I have used Camerons utility to copy my outlook contact to the 200lx also.
Sometimes I also ftp stuff from work to my personal account the ftp with my
200lx and pick it up.

I would be interested in any personal productivity hints anyone has.  I want
to get the most out of the 200lx.

Should work with WWW/LX in IrDA mode.
But probalby doesn't work with any other comm software, because the
LX's IR port isn't  actually IrDA compatible.

Try http://promo.net/pg (Project Gutenberg) if you want free
books - the only problem is that the vast majority of texts
are quite old (due to copyright laws).

I was also going to recommend MemoWare
(http://www.memoware.com), but it seemed to be demanding a
password when I tried it. I'm not sure whether that was just
a temporary glitch or not.

I use D&A's TT-LX program to track all of my activities.  I bill
each month and find that TT-LX generates a report that is a good
starting point for writing up the final reports I need.

My work concerns medical devices, so I have all the applicable CFR
text from title 21 in ASCII files on my 200LX.  I fire up Vernon
Buerg's LIST program any time I want to quickly refer to regs.

If I'm going to an investigators meeting, I prepare by exporting
all the clinical data to a 1-2-3 spreadsheet.  I can then answer
most any question about the progress of a clinical study.

Finally, I have a Citizen pocket printer that I have taken on the
roaad with me and used with WordPerfect to generate last minute
overheads for presentations.  I don't do this too often, though.

DJ 500C printer.

I didn't see any dip switches to throw. I didn't look for them however. I
just hooked up the cables (oh yes, I grabbed a null modem by mistake instead
of the gender changer so the first attempt failed) but the second attempt
was successful.

I was wondering whether the cracking programs used a brute-force
approach, simply choosing many different words to try to unlock the
zip. And since adding numbers and symbols to words makes it more
secure, this sounds like what they do.

A brute force approach would be just as effective with DES.

I've just uploaded version 2.1 of Golf Solitaire. This one saves the

you a histogram of your stats, and has a "progress bar" at the bottom
so you can see if you're behind or ahead in this game.

And can anyone beat an average score of 20.6?

That'd be my guess too. I made such a cable to connect the LX to the Mac
serial port on a Citizen NB2 printer. It worked, sort of, lacking proper
flow control.

Check the IBM ftp sites for your IBM products. For Example all the

Just leave all of the dip switches in the same position (I don't remember
if it is up or down). Just plug in the 200lx. Have the deskjet rinter
selected from system settings. Print and it works. If not, try the other
adapter. A lot of Deskjet 500c printers still exist at HP for internal
use just as 200lx serial printers.

Subscriber Comments: Hello,

I am a user of the HP 200LX and at the present I am interested in the
C-Pen (that is is a handheld scanner with implemented OCR) as an input
device for the HP 200LX. As you know has the HP 200LX an IrDA Interface
and is therefore  physically prepared to communicate with the C Pen
which has an IrDA Interface too. Are there any software that supports
communication betweeen the HP 200LX and the C-Pen?  To inform you a
little more anout the C-Pen features you will find a short description
of the operating system (ARIPOS) in the annex. The full description
can be found at www.cpen.com/devzone. I would be grateful, if you could
give support concerning the questions above.

kind regards

ANNEX:

ARIPOS is a single-threaded message based operating system. The
essential parts of ARIPOS are described briefly below. The most
fundamental part is the kernel. The kernel handles the following tasks:
IrDA (i.e. IrPhys, IrLAP, IrLMP, TinyTP, IrObex), me mor below).
Image processing is another important function that the kernel
provides.  The image processing includes operations such as
calibration and correction of skewed images.The system module provides
install/uninstall procedures, task-handling system, boot-table
information, minimal thread support, file  types, menu-hooks and
data-storage.The input module is a very essential part of the operating
system as it handles the input from the CMOS sensor. The input can  be
either an image or a vector stroke. This raw data is processed by the
OCR module (if it is an image) or by the C Write module (if it is a
vector stroke). (In coming versions of the C-Pen SDK there will be an
API that allows  programmers to create their own input modules, such
as OCR or C Write.) The GUI module provides tools for creating GUI
objects such as dialogs, buttons and input fields. Third party software
developers can, due to the fact that the GUI  system is
object-oriented, create new GUI-classes. The shell module is a simple
application browser that displays the icons in the main menu. In
addition the shell is responsible for showing a splash screen at start
up and for security  issues such as checking the PIN-code.

I have a print out of a document called "Format of the 100LX database
files" by Andy Gryc. I no longer have the text file, however, and I
can't recall where I got it.

Does anyone still have the electronic copy for Rob?

Why don't you just try it?
Mostly, DIP switches of printers are there for ajusting code table,
fonts etc. Not the port.
Might be different in your case, because I only know printers with
parallel ports.
But I'd suggest that you try if it works with the current settings, and
if not, you can go on searching a documentation.

But why spend the time for searching a documentation, if you don't need it?

It had been way cool if somebody with the necesssary knowledge could
make an IrDA TSR driver so the COM1 port could be used as an ordinary
COm port and any program could communicate with this IR Modem!

Well my Olympus is not that bad, but they use a lot of batteries. I
will switch to some decent Ni-mh if I can find them anywhere here close
to the northpole :-))

I measured how much the camera drws when it takes a picture and saves
it and it was close to 1 amphre.

I have seen this behaviour with my camera. Wen the batteries are low I
can eject them and let them rest for a while and them I can use them
for a couple of pictures. But I have never seen this in new batteries.

Ni-mh are better they say because of the "way" the camera uses power.

So I will go hunt and see if I find some Ni-mh to my camera and my Hp

I received a copy of their old version for the 200LX for my birthday last
August.  I was supposed to get a different product for Christmas, but my
mom never did figure out how to send electronic presents.  <g>  What are
the advantages of the Lexicomp 2000?  Just updated information?

Hi,
I have or had a 5Mb flash card for my 200lx, I found out that  my mac
powerbook could read the disk and i could do much faster file transfers
through the powerbook PCMCIA slot, then i formatted the flashdisk with my
powerbook, and i screwed everything up,
My powerbook can read the disk but my 200lx can't , and it can't even format
the disk,
I tried putting the card in a windows laptop, and it could not read it
either,

Any suggestions?

I ordered a few at first.  They worked great so I've since bought 40 of the AA
and ten of the AAA.  I put them in a lot of toys and devices and they outlast
akaline in a lot of cases because they can handle high discharge rates.  The
only problem with them is that they have shelf discharge.  It's not as high as
Radio shack NIMH shelf discharge, but it is not as low as NIMH's that you can
buy from Times2Tech (Mack B.).  On the other hand, they work well for items
like the digi cams and portable audio.

Try running d:\bin\fdisk100.exe on the 200LX.  This is a pre-cursor step to
formatting so it may help "unscrew" the card for you, since it prepares the
card for MSDOS.

I get a "Bad address 553 Mailbox name not allowed" if this is the same
as you get let me know. I have not found anything wrong with my setup
and my isp can duplicate the error, but they can not fix it.

Let me know if it is the error message I wrote you get maybe your isp
has the same problems as mine..

I believe that what you are describing is an anti-relaying message on the
SMTP server. Before SPAM was a real problem, SMTP servers used to relay mail
for anybody that asked. Spammers then started using this feature so that you
could not filter out their mail by IP address. Now most properly secured
SMTP servers will not forward mail for you unless you come from a 'friendly'
IP address. It sounds like since you log into t-online, compuserve does not
recognize your IP address as a friendly address. The solution is to use
t-online's SMTP server instead of compouserve's when you are logged onto
t-online. I'm suprised that your ISP did not know this... or perhaps I am
assuming that this is the problem but it is actually something more complex.

BTW: THe pop server doesn't complain because it uses authentication and you
can't relay mail through a POP server.

What bothers me about K2 it their "upgrade" policy. If it is the same
now as last year, I can get the new Lexicomp, to upgrade my old copy
with a few new drugs, for $98. Paying $98 for a good, usable, drug
database is one thing, but paying $98 every year or two to keep it
up-to-date is a bit much....

Lars,

14.4 is not a speed offered (check out the commands for
your modem for a command to set the speed to 14.4 - I don't
think you'll find one). Pick the 19200 and the modems will
agree on the best speed they can work. This is part of the
negotiation between the modems. After that you get the
CONNECT message.

It means your program senses that at that speed there are
too many errors and retransmissions. You are running toow
fast. Set the speed to 9600. It is not necessarily a
reflection on your modem's ability. It could be the other
modem on the other side cannot handle that speed. It is
also possible the line you use has a lot of noise reducing
the effective transmission speed to less than the nominal
14.4.

Bill,

Sorry to react so late, I was gone for a week and only
monitored D&A Software support email box. But it is good to
make this public, so others can read the workaround too (you
have one which you describe and I added another).

The latest post.exe (2.2f) has a small bug. If the first
mailbox on the list is empty, then the program mistakenly
changes the entry for that mailbox in the FILES section
of post.cfg from M to X. I.e. you will see

Files
Mail=X
 ...

This was discovered by an austrian customer (occasionally
posts here!)

The best way to get around it is to move the mailbox away
from the first position by using the UP and DOWN keys in
the main screen.

The problem was identified by Andreas and he is aware of
it.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yes, and also if the box is move away from the first
position. I suggest moving a folder to the first position.

Tim,

Sorry to react so late. I was out for over a week and
monitored the support line, not the list.

PE has little to do with Post/LX. You can use PE if you
wish to be the editor of messages.

> I get an "out of memory" message, whether I try to edit mail in

You simply ran out of memory space. Please make sure you do
not run another WWW.EXE. The way to do it: Close
applications, then close Applications Manager, to get to
raw MSDOS. Then type exit. If there is a latent WWW.EXE
copy it will terminate. Then to return to Apps mgr type
200.

Please look in our Webpage for a FAQ on Memory. It is
specifically linked to in the first page for easy access...

Andreas is a heavy Buddy user, and has done all the
development of WWW/LX and Post/LX with buddy in his
machine. I suspect if there is a special reason why the two
do not run together it would have come up during
development. The memory issue is something that is well
known, and well understood, and little can be done with it
other than workarounds, since the system limits addressing
by applications quite severely.

If you try to run all the stuff INSIDE system manager, you
will DEFINITELY have problems. There is only so much memory
available to all applications (including System Manager and
Applications manager...)

I use software carousel. I do not think Super Software
Carousel is a significant issue. These are two different
"animals"!

Software Carousel is a task switcher. It will rotate
workareas between memory and a drive location.

Super Software Carousel is a creation of Hal's - he took
many many aprograms, and put together a smart menu to allow
you to run them by using Software Carousel. He created
several workareas, and in each placed several applications,
that's all.

I am not sure how PE.EXE enters here! It is just _a_
program you can use. it is not mandatory to use PE to run
Post.EXE, and in fact PE.EXE is not in memory when you go
online.

I just fired it up for a trip from Seattle to Lake Louise, Alberta,
Canada.  It is one of the few mapping programs that straddles the
border.  And, yes, its maps are older but in the main acceptable.
Called Automap for the US version.

Unfortunately, MS purchased the product from whomever and then
discontinued it - once again limiting choice and forcing conversion to a
windows product when a dos product was acceptable.

There are still folks who don't believe DOS ever supported any type of
graphic application!!!

I wonder if alternate maps can be used with the US version?

I'd like to make some comments on this topic (about PKZIP
rather than PGP)

1) I read somewhere that PKZIP's encryption algorithm suffers
the handicap of having a _known_ header in the file. Your data
is unique, but their header isn't. This knowledge makes an
attack on their encryption a lot easier.

2) The Docs in v2.5 (DOS) suggest that their encryption is
utterly secure. I suppose they would, wouldn't they, but I
wonder if they've beefed it up in the new release?

3) BEWARE. Although PKZIP encrypts your data, it doesn't
protect your filenames. If you use the -v option in PKUNZIP to
view an encrypted zip file, it will show the files' names.
This can be more embarrassing than having someone see the
contents if you have BIG-JUGS.JPG and you're simply a pottery
enthusiast.

4) For the 200LX, my vote goes to SecDev. It works really well
and I trust it.

Hello,

Has anyone on this list tried using the Jornada Keyboard
offered by Thaddeus with a program, Microsoft Works ver. 2.00A?
I have the Newton keyboard but suffer from complete lock up if
I try to use it with this program. This is the only program
that exhibits this behavior, at least out of the wide range of
applications that I use with my 200LX.

I use this software extensively to write extremely handy
databases of geologic data that require calculates results.
I would buy the Thaddeus Jornada keyboard if I knew that it
could work with this program , as a fuller size keyboard is
extremely usful when entering large amounts of data.

TIA

Subject:      200lx as modem for Palm

I finally got a chance to whip up an adapter for the Palm/200lx.  I can
now HotSync the Palm IIIx using my HP200lx and its PCMCIA modem.

The adapter is made from 2 $1 DB9 male connectors and some old phone
wire.  The pins are:

200lx   Palm
8       7
7       8
6       6
5       5
3       2
2       3

I use the HotSync cable (have not tested the cradle yet - it's at the
office) and the Palm Modem US/Canada set to 14,000 on the Palm side.  I
then run Commchk from Super on the 200lx side set to 8n1 14,000.  The
Palm then dials my home machine using the 200lx as an expensive modem and
performs a HotSync.  Works like a charm and saves me the purchase of
another modem for use with the Palm.  Best part is that my DIY adapter
has a certain geek-chic.

I've also started transferring files from Palm to 200lx.  I found a
commercial package called PalmPrint from Stevens Creek
(www.stevenscreek.com) that does the trick.  Hook the HotSync Cable to
the 200lx using a null modem adapter.  Turn on DataComm on the 200lx with
capture on too.  Tell PalmPrint to print to text and then select Memo,
Clipboard, or ToDo.  The text is captured to the 200lx as a text file.
PalmPrint can do IR too but apparently the 200lx uses a different
protocol.

If anyone can tell me how to get the 200lx to understand the Palm when it
speaks IR, that would make my day.

You're assuming that 'market' and money are somehow linked in

I agree, but they used to have a lower upgrade price until the number of
HP200LX versions sold dropped.  I think we get charged more because we are a
low volume market.  If you can find 100 people who will buy it, I bet we can
get a lower price.

This has happened to me when i had stacker running.
I tried formatting the card while the system had it engaged
as double the space.
i took the stacker driver out of the config.sys then rebooted.
Then the formatting worked.

The alternative is to just remove the built-in rubber feet and buy some
rubber feet at Radio Shack or a similar store, the large kind meant for
big equipment, and put them on your palmtop.  I've done this and it's
amazing: the palmtop is more stable, not rocking around while I type even
if there's a bulge in the middle, I don't have to worry about spilling
liquids next to it because they just run under it, the grip is made a lot

I use my palm and 200lx in different enough ways that I don't need to do
simple xfers but
since the palm is always just a flat batt. away from complete data loss it
would be real nice
to be able to backup to my 200lx; any ideas?

I have Automap on a seperate flash card with both US and European maps.
The European maps are less detailed than the US maps. There were a few
add-on databases on the MS site for a while. One covered all Best
Western Motels and the other showed the location of the continental
divide. Unfortunately I am not aware of any newer databases for this
software.

Barry,

Your summary is quite correct in that Matlab primarily deals with
matrices. A fundamental difference between the two programs is that
Matlab is designed to import and handle real data while Derive, as its
name implies, is meant for deriving equations etc. ie Derive is a
symbolic processor with weak data manipulation/analysis capabilities
while Matlab is strong on data analysis/manipulation and has no
symbolic capabilities.

Reflecting the difference between data analysis and symbolic
manipulation the current version of Matlab has hooks to Maple (a more
full-featured symbolic manipulation program and vice versa. Mathcad is
a data analysis type orogram that has a highly reduced subset of Maple
as its symbolic manipulation core.

Incidentally if anyone has an unused copy of a palmtop compliant version of
Matlab available I would be most interested. The earliest version of
Matlab I have requires a 386 processor.

I've not figured out a way to backup the data from Palm to 200lx yet.  I,
Iike you, was concerned about data loss on the Palm when away from the
desktop but figured the dial home HotSync would be the easiest solution.
I suppose it would be possible to create a DOS-based HotSync tool but
that would be beyond my abilities right now.  Maybe when I pass the bar
in July I'll have time to devote to that problem.

Since it's just a collection of HTML files, shouldn't we be able to use
one of their other versions (assuming those are also HTML) and get the
cheaper upgrade price?

Hi Bob.  Wouldn't it be much easier to use the Infrared adapter from HP
designed for that printer?  I have seen them go on Ebay for as low
as $17.  I got mine from HP for about $40.  :-(

How about getting an inexpensive Palmtop PC such as the Poqet Plus?
I got one from Ebay for $71, and it has a keyboard slightly larger than
the
Newton keyboard, plus a larger screen with backlight! and you can insert
your flash card into one of its *two* pcmcia slots without having to make
any adjustments at all!   Up to 8 hours of battery life, it sure beats
most
laptops.

Thanks for that info. I originally bought Derive a long time ago to help me
deal with my kids' algebra homework.  A Dad's duty to help with the trouble
spots can be quite a burden after a 12 hour workday and a 75 mile drive
home at 10pm.

Derive didn't let them off the hook ... it just let me check their symbolic
equations at various steps to catch where they went wrong (if they did) ..
a great tool when the mind is barely able to make 1+1=2 at the end of the
day <g>.

Later on, I also used it during refresher trig and calculus classes to
double-check symbolic proofs, derviatives and integrals.  I believe the new
TI-89 has Derive's symbolic capabilities built-in.

I'm not sure how Matlab's data analysis features compares to 123, which is
also frequently used to slice and dice data, but I imagine it must offer a
richer set of analysis tools.

I had the same problem trying to send e-mails through compuserve using a
different ISP. This problem only appeared around mid january for me, and it
was definitely not my setting that didn't change for several month. The only
workaround I found was to create an account on bn3 (www.bn3.com) allowing
SMTP. It then added a small signature on my e-mail, but it is still better
than sending nothing.

Thanks (and thanks also for all the other replies I have been getting to
this post...I haven't had much time to dissect each one yet but I will
eventually).  Yes, I had just found the GDB stuff on SUPER but I also
hadn't gotten time to look at what I downloaded quite yet either.

I've found the MS quick-C compiler works on the 200LX (my fav old
compiler, used to even use it for work in the DOS days), so I've been
writing in C.  Debugging is a bit trickier though since, even in debug
mode (you can single-step this compiler), it can still go out to lunch and
then you have to re-boot.

Again, thanks for all the responses and I'll try to reply to them all when
I get some time and check each one out..

Yes it is..now the next thing is to get my emailprovider to understand

Yes I know, but since my ISP is not my emailprovider the emailprovider
has to let me use their smtp, but they have a "we relay one message..no
more" policy..they are really crap. They have no way of letting me
authenticate myself before using their smtp.

This is exactly the problem. But since my emailprovider advertise their
emailsolution to evertbody they are supposed to work, but theu do not..
I have had the help of Avi to point out how things should work and I am
now in a dialog with my emailprovider that knows less then me about
their service..(!)

Yes..and my contact at my emailproviders have no idea on how to solve
this "problem"..they are real crap and words as rookies..morons and
crap service springs to mind..

Thanks for taking the time to explain.. It seems that since your message
and the help from Avi I know more about smtp and POP3 servers and how
they work than my email provider..that really scares me.

When I wrote the message you replied to I did not know as much as I do
know.. I will send a email to my emailprovider and tell them how I feel
right now..

The strange thing is that they will relay only one message when I use
Post/Lx but they relay more (all) messages when I use desktop pc
applications like Netscape Mail and Calypso..

Check the return policy for the Thaddues keyboard.  If you can return it
within 30 days or so you will have plenty of time to test it out.

Right.
A friend of mine bought a TI-89 and it really has got a full-featured
derive built-in.
Amazing! :-)

Steve,

That is a thought......Thanks! I would rather find someone
willing to test their keyboard with my software but I will
probably just order the keyboard and be done with it. You are
right, I can always send it back. I just don't like the idea of
the shipping cost times two <cheap, cheap, cheap...is there a

I think it's because the alkaline batteries can't handle the large

batteries.  I haven't tried nicads yet.

Just picked up a battery charger from Radio Shack. I saw it in the Sunday
paper ad for $19.99. It has a switch to charge Ni-MH or NiCad batteries.
It will charge either 2 or 4 batteries, AA or AAA with included adaptor.
Paperwork says 2.8 volts at 140 mA. There is a timer that shuts off after
7 hours for NiCad or 13 hours for NiMH. The package includes 4 RadShack
brand 1300 Ma/Hr batteries. A last nice touch- the AC plug prongs fold
flat.
I'm going to use this for my Olympus D-600 camera but some of you power
users might find it useful.

Of course I have no connection with Radio Shack, just seemed a better deal
than the Olympus brand battery/charger kit.

Several years ago, Traveling Software used to offer a package called WebEx
for Windows 95.  Traveling Software doesn't seem to exist anymore, there's
just something known as LapLink.Com and they no longer offer this package
but I have a copy of Version 1.01 dated July, 1996 that came
factory-installed on an old laptop I have.  The whole thing is just a bit
over 1 Mbyte in size before installation.

I haven't used it for some time, but I recall it was intended as an
enhancement to browsers for retrieving and storing entire websites for
offline browsing.  Sorry that I don't have much more information about how
it stored that on your local hard drive but maybe I can re-install it and
give it a test.

Separate offline browser packages seem to have disappeared since Microsoft
put that function into the Internet Explorer browser (starting with IE
version 4).  Unfortunately, Microsoft makes a total scramble of the pages
they let you download so that only IE can make use of it offline.
Everything gets spread around in randomly named subdirectories under
C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 (if you have version 5, that
is).

To see how to use IE's offline browsing features, connect to the Internet,
launch IE, and access the Web site that you want to make available for
offline viewing.  Next, pull down the Favorites menu and click 'Add to
Favorites'.  When the Add Favorite dialog box appears, select a folder to
store the link (if you already have a link to the page in your Favorites
menu, you can just select the same folder that already contains the link).
Then, select the 'Make Available Offline' check box.

Once you select a Web page, you schedule a download.  To do that, click the
Customize button.  When you do, you'll see the Offline Favorite Wizard's
introduction screen and click the Next button.  When the second screen
appears, you can configure how many levels of pages from the Web site you
want to download.

Subject:      Announce: LXgFTP, gui FTP client for the HP200LX
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

LXgFTP is a freeware FTP client for the HP200LX palmtop with a gui or
graphical user interface. The program has a simple user interface modeled
loosely after the Filer application. This software is still beta, but
there are no known serious bugs.

Features

- Uses the PAL interface for that familiar System Manager look and feel.
- Profiles for frequently accessed ftp sites store username, password
  and initial directories for quick connection.
- Split screen showing local and remote directories. Just select a
  file and press a key to transfer. Or select and copy multiple files
- Recursively copy entire directories
- Uses the WatTCP TCP/IP stack. Works with LXTCP, Goin' Postal, etc.


Requirements

LXgFTP requires a properly configured packet driver that supports
the BOOTP protocol. The recommended packet driver for PPP over
modem or serial line is dospppd by Antonio Lopez Molero available
from personal.redestb.es/tonilop/ or lxtcp.hplx.net. For ethernet the
recommended packet driver is LXEN2216 by Rod Whitby available at
rwhitby.hplx.net/lxeth/. It will also work with the older Lxether3
available on SUPER at www.palmtop.net.

That seems a little extreme.  Before resorting to removing the
batteries, try Ctrl-Left Shift-On and answer No to the "Reinitialize?
question.  This almost always works.  It always has for me.  And it

Due to the (although modest) lvel of compression that a 14400 modem can
perform, the speed of the port actually needs to be 19200 for a 14400 modem
that supports compression.

Hmm if it has a standard Hplx plug in one end and the plug you describe
in the other you could use it to connect your Hp to a Olympus Digicam
and download/take pictures. I have Olympus and I use hplx cable +

Subject:      OT: Project management

Hi everyone. I guess this is also somewhat "On Topic" as  I'd love an LX
solution.

Looking for the "best" project management software out there -- LX (DOS) or
Win.

Wondered what folks used successfully out there.

It'd be nice to run it on the LX -- to have w/ me all the time, or have
something that had versions that ran in Win and DOS (w/ little conversion
factor).

I need to track projects; BUT, more importantly, I need to break them down
into the little pieces that always get you and assign both responsibility
and deadline with an easy way to let them know they've got the "rose pinned
on them" for each sub-task, w/ a deadline.

Any suggestions?

I've been looking at working it up as a spreadsheet, imported it into a Word
table and have putzed around w/ Access .... I'm about to go to paper-only

Hello all,

I am a user of the HP 200LX and at the present I am interested in the C-Pen -
(that is is a handheld scanner with implemented OCR) as an input device for the
HP 200LX. As you know has the HP 200LX an IrDA Interface and is therefore
physically prepared to communicate with the C Pen which has an IrDA Interface
too. Unfortunarely there is no software available that supports communication.

To inform you a little more about the C-Pen features you will find a short
description of the operating system (ARIPOS)in the annex. The full description
can be found at www.cpen.com/devzone. Who has a similar problem or can give
support concerning the questions above?

kind regards

ANNEX:

ARIPOS is a single-threaded message based operating system. The essential parts
of ARIPOS are described briefly below. The most fundamental part is the kernel.
The kernel handles the following tasks: IrDA (i.e. IrPhys, IrLAP, IrLMP, TinyTP,
IrObex), memory management, flash/ROM/RAM management. Furthermore the kernel is
responsible for the persistent storage architecture in C-Pen, the HDB (see
below). Image processing is another important function that the kernel provides.
The image processing includes operations such as calibration and correction of
skewed images.The system module provides install/uninstall procedures,
task-handling system, boot-table information, minimal thread support, file
types, menu-hooks and data-storage.The input module is a very essential part of
the operating system as it handles the input from the CMOS sensor. The input can
be either an image or a vector stroke. This raw data is processed by the OCR
module (if it is an image) or by the C Write module (if it is a vector stroke).
(In coming versions of the C-Pen SDK there will be an API that allows
programmers to create their own input modules, such as OCR or C Write.) The GUI
module provides tools for creating GUI objects such as dialogs, buttons and
input fields. Third party software developers can, due to the fact that the GUI
system is object-oriented, create new GUI-classes. The shell module is a simple
application browser that displays the icons in the main menu. In addition the
shell is responsible for showing a splash screen at start up and for security
issues such as checking the PIN-code.

Compuserve changed their previously "open" SMTP to protected mode mid
of Jan 2000 to prevent spammers using smtp.compuserve.com

It was officially announced to all compuserve members in time. I was
not cought by surprise as I use POST/LX which lets you define a special
SMTP configuration depending on the ISP used and the mailbox accesed :

If in the mybeloved mailbox section of POST.CFG you have a setting like:

SMTP=my.beloved.smtp

add a line such as

Special=CIS

and one line like

SpecialSMTP=smtp.compuserve.com

This means: normally use my.beloved.smtp as SMTP server. However, if
the dial-up setup used in WWW/LX is "CIS", use smtp.compuserve.com as SMTP
instead.

Hi Tim,

I have been using a very complicated method to run my projection on HP.
I really run it on the desktop as it is too slow on the HP but it is doable.

I have Lotus as data entry/editing tool as it is quite for column works.
I then export the Lotus data to a Perl script which converts it into a project
file for MainLine (I may have found it on SUPER.)
I then use some other perl scripts to extract other information.
Total run time is about 5 minutes but is fully automated.

By using embedded keys, I received the following information back (in 5 min. on HP):
1.      Who is currently doing what?
2.      What are to be done by whom next?
3.      What is the critical task for me to do right now?
4.      A time line chart of the tasks with start and end dates.
5.      List of all tasks.
6.      When status of current task need to be checked.

Notes are kept in the Lotus spreadsheet and may be viewed at any time.

Alfred

Hi everyone. I guess this is also somewhat "On Topic" as  I'd love an LX
solution.

Looking for the "best" project management software out there -- LX (DOS) or
Win.

Wondered what folks used successfully out there.

It'd be nice to run it on the LX -- to have w/ me all the time, or have
something that had versions that ran in Win and DOS (w/ little conversion
factor).

I need to track projects; BUT, more importantly, I need to break them down
into the little pieces that always get you and assign both responsibility
and deadline with an easy way to let them know they've got the "rose pinned
on them" for each sub-task, w/ a deadline.

Any suggestions?

I've been looking at working it up as a spreadsheet, imported it into a Word
table and have putzed around w/ Access .... I'm about to go to paper-only
and just photo copy the sheets I'm assigning!!

TIA,

I use PJT2, a Japanese Project Manager. I think I got it off SUPER.
I has the look and feel of Micro$haft Project and runs fine on the LX.
English docs are available for it too. Quite a nice program

Unless the palm talks OBEX, you should not use that mode.
Use either of only two modes: "IR client" or "IR server"
Anything else will cause you trouble.

Also, use Ctrl-Shift-On when you are stuck hard. Personally
I always reboot that way (Ctrl-Alt-Del does NOT wipe memory
clean)

I checked out Andreas's IR from SUPER.  I was able to use it
to set the 200lx in printer emulation mode and received
files from the Palm just fine.

However, when I attempted to send a file from the 200lx to
the Palm, the whole thing crashed.  I used the command line
to send shown in the doc (ir oput my_file.vcf).  Seconds
later, it said it had sent though the Palm didn't think so.

IR then just froze.  Ctrl-Alt-Delete wouldn't unlock it and
neither would the Off button.  I removed the AAs and waited
a few seconds and then replaced them.  This time, the whole
screen was a jumble.

I finally had to remove both the AAs and the back-up battery
to get the machine back.

I've seen the system lock up before but taking out the AAs
always worked.  I've never seen the screen turn to garbage.
What happened?

But slower than on the LX, at least from my unscientific tests :-)

The TI-92 has Derive built-in too.

Incidentally, a 2nd hand HP95LX with Derive 3.0+ (or the special palmtop
version of Derive 2.5) on it could make a good alternative to a TI-92 or
TI-89, perhaps also pricewise, although I don't konw how much Derive sells
for.

Speaking of Matlab vs Derive, does Matlab handle symbolic math at all?
ISTR it doesn't, or perhaps that was Mathcad...

And then there's MuMath - from what I recall, it is a relative to
Derive.  Boy, it had a cryptic command interface.  I think I have a
copy of it somewhere.  It was a Microsoft product, or at least was
sold by them at one point.  It did symbolic math, I know.

It was Derive before it changed its name. I don't think it was a Microsoft
product, though, so they probably just sold it. I've never used it myself
(and never found a copy of it) but I'm curious as to how it compares to
Derive and what the interface (or lack thereof) is like.

Apparently, muMath was the first CAS for microcomputers (I also think it
was available for the Apple IIs and not just 8086 based machines). I is
briefly mentioned here:

Wow.

I'm not familiar w/ Perl (except that I know it's a language). I'd be
interested in learnig how you set that up either on or off list. And, I
suppose I should learn more about Perl to really make this work.

I'll hunt for the software you mentioned on S.U.P.E.R., etc.

The Palm Pilot and WinCE versions are not HTML.  Each is a machine specific
format.  I think that this is silly, since WinCE can use the HTML version with
Pocket IE.  I don't know why they bother to make a seperate version for each
platform, but they do.

Can someone send me the COMPRESS.EXE & CAB links on Microsoft's web site
and also non-MS CAB site posted about last Friday?

I forgot to backup my email and blew away my latest messages & links
fiddling with TRANSX95, GHOST, laptop and desktop all at the same time.

Thanks.

Bob

Thanks for the Ctrl-Shft-On suggestion.  I'd not heard that before.  That
combo will still work when no other key (even the on/off) will
register????

According to the develper page on palm.com, the Palm uses OBEX.  That is
why I tried it first.  I don't know much about the stuff, however.

I've since tried the client on the 200lx side.  It opens a connection and
reads the user name of the Palm then just stops.  The Palm goes on
searching for a connection until you cancel.  Oh well.

I wonder if it would be just as worthwhile to order the Integrated Medical
Curriculum's Clinical Pharmacology Online CD-ROM (from www.imc.gsm.com)
and copy the HTML files for their drug reference to the 200LX.  Their
reference site seems to be just as good as or better than the Lexicomp
product to me, and it includes pictures of the chemical strucutre of most
drugs and some other neat features.  How about to you?  Are there
advantages to the Lexicomp product?

Well, most or all of those <wince> machines have browsers, don't
they? And anything that reads HTML can make use of Lexicomp, right?
So there's a big market....

Yes.  I have never had to pull out batteries to revive my palmtop.

I think the author of IR knows a good bit about OBEX.  Perhaps he could
suggest something, if he is in the mood.     :-)

I am convinced the Palm is the future of palmtopping.   I have a keen eye
open for all these Palm-HPLX developments.   Once all you trailblazers
work
out all the kinks, I might yet get a Palm myself.  8-)

Paper is probably a good way. I have M$-Project (DOS) running on the palmtop
but don't use it any more.

For a different way of approaching project management browse to
http://www.pdinstitute.com and look for a "tutorial" link. Don't get
scared away by the request to give away your e-mail adress - I was

Derive was an independent product some time ago.  I bought a copy to the
tune of something like $79 to run on my PC in, maybe '93 or '92 or so. It
was, at the time, being developed in Hawaii; I remember because I had to
phone them once or twice and it was fairly expensive to call there then.

Around the same time I also bought Mathcad which has a much nicer user
interface, and still can do symbolic maniputlations (it has Maple built
in) and can do a certain amount of data manipulation as well as paste
photos into it(windows version).  The Derive people came around soliciting
another version about the same time as the Mathcad people did but I only
bit on the Mathcad 5 offer.  Actually it was kind of stupid since version
4 has everything I've ever needed to use in there and 5 isn't really much
of an improvement, just mostly a step closer to bill's bloatware. Derive,
at the time (and I don't know if they still do) had a quite cryptic
interface, and so far as I am concerned that's the main reason why Mathcad
got my continuing business and derive didn't.  But hey, I also don't know
if Mathcad will run under DOS, as I always ran only a Windoze version, so
it's nice to know I have Derive and it will run on the LX.

So far as I know there are (or were) about 3 packages that did (do)
symbolic manipulation: Derive, Maple, and Mathematica.  As mentioned,
Mathcad had the underlying Maple engine built in.

Matlab, as has been stated by someone is *very* much geared toward doing
matrix operations.  I am not aware of any symbolic capabilities in it
though. I have only run it on the workstations here at school and didn't
know it was ever a product built for DOS.  It shortens drastically matrix
manipulations (and even programming) though, since, after you've input (or
read) your matrices, you write the (matrix)algebreic equations to get it
to do the matrix ops, and it will treat the matrices like the variables in
your algebreic eqns.  It can execute script-like code, so your matrix ops
can be put in the form of a program quite easily.  That's quite a gem to
find an old DOS copy of Matlab!

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

Finally last Wednesday my standard 200LX (2MB) died.  I don't know what the
real cause of it, I hope some guys on this list can make any comment.
It happened when I changed the main battery while the palmtop was still
PLUGGED with an adaptor.  I read this practice from the List (if I am not
mistaken ;-).  What happened next was that it just did not turned on.  I
tried to unplugged the adaptor, changing all batteries (including the backup
one) with fresh ones, taking out all batteries and leave it for 2 nights,
nothing happened - I've lost my luck.
I noticed however that when I put all batteries into the palmtop, though can
not be turned-on, it generated some heat at the back side.
Anyway I took it to local HP service center and according to the technician
the main board should be replaced and that it happened because of old-ages
(being used since 1996).
I could get the board (they have the stocks) but you would not believe how
much they charge you, its a good USD400 for the part and service fee!!! (I
wished it was easy to arrange double speed palmtop from Hal down to
Jakarta/Indonesia).
Well finally I bought a second hand and my life backs to normal again.

It all depends on your needs.  If it's for use with the
hplx,  I would be interested  to know if *any* IR printer
works with the palmtop, other than the HP Deskjet portable.
I would have rather bought the Canon portable, but I
understand is not compatible.

Coincidentally, I was at a local community college's student store yesterday and
saw a single package of a student edition of Matlab (didn't stop to look at the
version .. duh!) on the clearance table for $59.  I doubt it was a DOS version
tho.

though. I have only run it on the workstations here at school and didn't
know it was ever a product built for DOS.  It shortens drastically matrix
manipulations (and even programming) though, since, after you've input (or
read) your matrices, you write the (matrix)algebreic equations to get it
to do the matrix ops, and it will treat the matrices like the variables in
your algebreic eqns.  It can execute script-like code, so your matrix ops
can be put in the form of a program quite easily.  That's quite a gem to
find an old DOS copy of Matlab!

Greetings:

I seem to be having problems with both my 100 & 200LX and look to the
list as a last resort before sending one or both off to Thaddeus.

- 100LX: My curious 1yr old decided to try to get a closer look at
Daddy's computer...as a result, it took a 1meter drop to the floor! for
the most part, it survived OK, but now after about 10-15min of use, the
screen gets "fuzzy". Powering off and on again usually clears the
problem...annoying, but by no means crippling...any ideas?


- 200LX: More curious...I seem to get intermittent power failure
causing the LX to go into "backup mode" when running on DC. It does not
appear to be a function of batteries, as I have tried several sets. As
long as I am running on AC, the problem has not occurred (as yet). This
behaviour is very irratic, sometimes I can run for an hour or more with
out a problem, other times only a matter of minutes. System always
seems to recover OK. I have noticed, even when running on AC, that the
voltage reported by ABC/LX can take a dive (<2V), which I assume is
causing the backup mode. I have let the LX sit 48Hr+ w/o batteries, but
still it exhibits this behaviour...any ideas?

THANKS!!!

Debugging is a problem on the 200lx.  I use Turbo C but my solution
will work as well or better with Quick C from the command line.  I
use Microsoft's Symdeb, the debugger they used to ship before
Codeview came along.  It's a symbolic and source level Debug
lookalike.  Not nearly as easy to use as the IDE debugger or
Codeview but it works pretty well.

It also works as well on com files since it doesn't rely on imbedded
debugging information.  There's an accompanying program, Mapsym,
that converts the map file into a debugging info file that it uses.

If you compile including line number information it lets you work on
the source level for the most part.  I'm not sure if you can do that
from the IDE so you might need to use the command line
compiler/linker.  I use that with Make and let Make also run Mapsym
if all goes well.  I prefer that to using the IDE in any case.  But
Codeview or Turbo Debug would be nicer. :)

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

Hello there

I have a problem using my Hplx/Www/lx and my emailproviders smtp.

This is what happens:

I have two emails in the outbox of Post/lx. I connect to my ISP (which
is not my emailprovider. I connect not only to my ISP but through a
ethernet at school therefor I have to get my emailproviders smtp to
work).

Then I connect to the smtp(or the POP3 server first..does not matter).
The smtp is supposed to reconize me by what I have in the From field
and let me send the two mails in one session.

Well it does not. I am able to send the mails, but one per session
because I am considered a spammer by the smtp. This really pisses me
off. My emailprovider can not find out why Post/lx/smtp does not get
along. But have said that there is nothing more he can do. There is
nothing wrong in my setup. Support at Dasoft gets the same result as I
do.

If I use a desktop pc with Calypso mail or anything else I have no
problems Sending more than one ameil per session.

I will set up Goin Postal and see if  get the same error on the Hplx.

My question is of course what can be wrong. My emailprovider runs there
services on a NT platform as far as I know. The above problem is
because of their spam countermeasure.

This question is of course very tough to answer, so let me put it this
way: What can I expect them to do with this problem. I have refused
paying them and will not pay them until this problem is solved that
should be fair?

TIA

The best place to get Turbo C++ books is at a second hand bookstore.
A large store with a good selection of computer books will give you
a better selection of books on Turbo C++ than a new one and they
usually have so many they've marked them below their normal used
prices to get rid of them.

In Houston there is Half-Price Books, a chain of huge used
bookstores.  Each store is close to the size of Barnes and Noble.
Well, they're a little smaller but they probably have a lot more
books.  I think they have them in other cities but I don't know
where.  I'm sure there are others, as well.

I've seen Turbo C++ books there for as little as a dollar.

Yes.  However, I note that having the card plugged in (and not
actively accessed) appears to reduce battery life (though not enough
for me to go to the trouble of figuring out how much).

Perhaps already considered, but have you replaced the backup
battery lately?

Did you try using one of the options in Filer ?

Briefly:

1. Stop running any DOS programs, you can't format the card
if you do.

2. Turn the LX off, insert card, turn the LX on again.

3. In Filer pres MENU, O, C.

4. Press F10.

Take a look around www.cdpubs.com. Somewhere on this site is a collection of
magazine articles from a now not available Palmtop magazine in PDF format. I
believe there is a very good article on the formats of 200LX database files.
Sorry I do not have the exact URL.

I think that I found the info I needed on the website that Daniel
Kropveld mention here in the same thread. I am not sure. I have to take
a look. I remember it had a light blue background..

I use Photopc. One icon to download and one to delete the pictures on
the camera. I do it like this for security reasons.

Here is how I do it. I think it works on 38400 with my ds machine. I am
not sure if it works on 38400 on a single speed..

The Lexicomp handbook isn't just useful for doctors.  Patients can also
use it to instantly find out about medications your doctor wants to
prescribe to you during your office visit, for instance.  VERY handy
little reference utility.

Well, the question to ask is why you are considered a spammer? How does =
the smtp server define that? A possible scenario is to have a time limit =
between accepting mails from the same sender. Now with a sloth-like =
Windows system then mails are sent outside this spam window. But you =
have a Lean'n'Mean DOS Machine (tm) and are maybe sending the new =
message token/string too soon after the finish message token/string.

I am playing around with Mdeamon, a Win32 smtp/pop server. Somewhere =
there is a timer between commands. There is also something called an IP =
Cache, to shorten DNs lookup times. But for you it would be better to =
find out what mail system they are running under NT and then ask on NT =
specific newsgroups for how it is implemented and controlled. Then you =
could educate these ISP rookies... :-)

Time to make drawer space again so these are for sale:

 1. $15   Greenwich GA935 serial-parallel convertor for printing on a parallel
printer via a serial cable

2. $40    Connectivity Pack stuff (3 HP original disks, 4 connectors and a 200LX
serial cable plus a manual, but no box ... I bought this used).

 3. $10   Book: PC in Your Pocket

 4. $40   IR printer adapter (Extended Systems JetEye Infrared Printer Port,
ESI-9510) ... lets you print from the LX to a parallel printer via IR.

 5. $20   Spare 200LX serial cable

 6. $15   95LX Connectivity Kit (from Nuvatech ... includes the box, cable and
software)

 7. $15   SPFPC 2.1  -  IBM mainframe editor cut down to size.  Runs on the LX
just fine, but definitely not for everyone.  (box, manual, software)

 8. $15   Stacker 4.1  - got it (used) just before flash drives went down in
price and ended up never using it (box, manual, software)

 9. $60   Zoomer (includes AMT 2400 Star modem, 5 mb flash card, serial cable
and software) ... my first PDA.  Runs GEOS and has lots of stuff in ROM.

Some of the stuff above I bought (or acquired) but never used (except to make
sure it wasn't dead), so I can't recommend or give specifics on the operational
features of everything, nor can I always comment on how "good" it is.

Prices are in US $ and include shipping in the US only.  Non-US buyers are OK,
but be prepared for the usual delays and higher cost of shipping.

Please email me off-list if you're interested in any of the above.

end Pocket PC's.  We'll see how well they stack up against Palm -- but I

While im holding hope that in true Microsoft Style they will get CE right
(or close
to right) in 3.0,   i still think they miss a fundamental problem with all
the CE units
ive seen or used... battery life... the units use fast processors, etc. and
draw more
power than their little batteries can provide for extended periods.  Using
the HP's
and Palm i go weeks without even thinking about batteries, while my
experience
with CE devices has been the opposite... pull it out to use it and almost
invariably
the battery is low.  If its not there ready to go when i need it, its
useless to me.

What will be truely sad is if Rapier (CE 3.0) does come thru and provide a
much
improved experience, but its still not usable do to hardware design by folks
that
don't have a clue about how a handheld is likely to be used.   Right now,
today a
WinCE machine could be running the PalmOS or DOS and I still wouldnt have
any use for it due to battery life.

The Palm IIIc is still an unknown, many of the reviews say its battery life
is shorter,
but in tests by a couple software producers the IIIc battery out performs
the Palm V
(which i have used for months without battery problems).

Feature wise, and bell for bell / whistle for whistle the CE units and their
Pocket PC
childer will beat the palm's hands down,  CE has always had more features
and will
undoubtedly continue to have.  Feature / Spec lists work well in the PC
world with
notebooks and desktops, but handhelds are a more personal choice... afterall
there
is a reason that Palm still (despite many naysayers) has the lions share of
the
market.

I used to view the palms as little more than toys, but then after bowing out
of WinCE
development due to the costs involved and mandatory use of MS tools, I
started PalmOS
development, and found the machine quite a bit more capable than I had
assumed, its
basically a little Macintosh Classic, it doesnt run the MacOs or anything
but has basically
similar hardware... which also gives it a bit of kinship to the HP which is
basically a
PC-XT.  Im a confirmed gadget junkie having had everything from a Tandy PC-2
and
HP95lx to Newtons, HP100/200/1000, Palms, and yes even numerous WinCE
machines
but the HP's and the Palm's are the only ones that have won me over for
daily use.

Well enough of my jabbering... back to your regularly schedule newsgroup.

Time to make drawer space again so these are for sale:

 1. $15   Greenwich GA935 serial-parallel convertor for printing on a parallel
printer via a serial cable

2. $40    Connectivity Pack stuff (3 HP original disks, 4 connectors and a 200LX
serial cable plus a manual, but no box ... I bought this used).

 3. $10   Book: PC in Your Pocket

 4. $40   IR printer adapter (Extended Systems JetEye Infrared Printer Port,
ESI-9510) ... lets you print from the LX to a parallel printer via IR.

 5. $20   Spare 200LX serial cable

 6. $15   95LX Connectivity Kit (from Nuvatech ... includes the box, cable and
software)

 7. $15   SPFPC 2.1  -  IBM mainframe editor cut down to size.  Runs on the LX
just fine, but definitely not for everyone.  (box, manual, software)

 8. $15   Stacker 4.1  - got it (used) just before flash drives went down in
price and ended up never using it (box, manual, software)

 9. $60   Zoomer (includes AMT 2400 Star modem, 5 mb flash card, serial cable
and software) ... my first PDA.  Runs GEOS and has lots of stuff in ROM.

Some of the stuff above I bought (or acquired) but never used (except to make
sure it wasn't dead), so I can't recommend or give specifics on the operational
features of everything, nor can I always comment on how "good" it is.

Prices are in US $ and include shipping in the US only.  Non-US buyers are OK,
but be prepared for the usual delays and higher cost of shipping.

Please email me off-list if you're interested in any of the above.

If the zoomer hasnt been spoken for I could come by
and pick it up.. since I live in the LA area.. I would
be willing to pay the 60 dollars even though you
wouldnt have to ship it.

Check closely.  I believe you then loose the serial

Did you notice that all those aplications are Microsoft products?
How many 'real' aplications not from Microsoft are out for Wince?
I know Microsoft has enough money to burn and make their own
revolution, but I am noticing the gradual appearance of each of the
products I regularly use in my hplx, redone for the Palm (when
InfoSelect for the Palm was announced, it really got my attention).

You mention Word and Excell, in a keyboardless machine?!?
Somehow I am skeptical on that area.

I am sure the new machine is better, but somehow I doubt the developers
will bite (once burned twice shy).

You know, a while back, when the DoJ lawsuit against Microsoft was big
news, I was thinking ... if the DoJ wants absolute proof that Microsoft is
a monopoly, look at Windows CE machines -- all Microsoft Office apps
burned into the ROM.  No Pocket WordPerfect and Pocket Quattro Pro or
Pocket Lotus 1-2-3 ROMs available.  <g>

I've tried it.  It doesn't work with the Palm.  Source code is
not available, so I don't know why it doesn't work with the
Palm.

I will have to look at that site and compare this with Lexicomp.  I will check
back with the list when I have an opinion.

Great.  It has a lot of medications that Lexicomp doesn't -- seems to be
very complete.  OTOH, the format isn't as neatly laid out for the 200LX as
the Lexicomp handbook is, so it might need massaging.

I have found AutoRout Express (USA and Europe) in my old 486 notebook and I would like to know how to configure it to work in my 100LX 2MB and a compact flash card 8MB.
I tried to configure for lowest screen resolution in my notebook and forced to B&W.
Then I tranferred the files in the palmtop but the result was
'Error 65508'
Please, what can I do?
Thanks
Giulio

As far as I know the Mobilpost smtpserver checks if it can find
martin@mobilpost.com in their customer database. This works nicely when
I use desktop email applications, but not with Post/lx.

I think they define a spammer as name which they can not find in their
customer database. Pretty lousey security if you ask me. You could just
use another mans name/emailaddress and you will be able to use the
server.

I am not sure what you mean. I have suggested that my emailprovider
change their system so I can first POP3 and then use their smtp for
lets say a 10 minute period. This will not happen because I have
problems according to my emailprovider.

Well I am not sure what goes on. Everything worked great (of course)
before my emailprovider started using ther spamcountermeasure. Why my
dosmachine is not accapted I and they do not know..

They run a swedish developed system for also sending emails to my
cellphone. I will try to get some more info about what systems they use
and what it is called. If it is a swedish developed system that is only
built for Telenor Mobil then I have a problem.

They are not my ISP.(Thank good for that), but they are rookies. I have
learned alot about how smtp's are supposed to work in the last couple
of days and it scares me that I almost knows more than the dude that
are supposed to help me. I will not get any more help because they can
not find where the problem is. They have no problems with anybody using
other things than my type of palmtop, so I guess they are saying "we do
not care"..

I will keep fighing..thanks for your comment..

Giulio,

I had a similar problem, except I got error 72. I think this is a memory
problem. I now run Automap Dos 3.0 under MAXDOS and it works great. I've
turned off the map features. The maps are too hard to read and aren't muc=
h
good for anything. You can do this by configuring Automap for "No Graphic=

Adapter". =


What I *do* like is the route listing, which is written driving direction=
s
between cities with mileage and time estimates for each segment of the
journey. It calculates routes in seconds anywhere in the USA. I still use=

my paper maps.

Good luck!

I run it on hp200lx DS, 96MB unit from a Software Carousel session
(550kB), mono and using EMS. That gives me all features maps etc.

Still looking for maps from Italy, France, Switzerland and Austria.

Hello Lars,

thanks for your quick response. To avoid dublication of effort I think it's fair
to let you know that I have already contacted C-Technologies. They told me that
there are no plans or initiatives for developping a software package that
supports communication of C-Pen and DOS based machines like the HP 200LX. So
from my view the only chance to get ahead is finding an expert who has had a
similar problem and has solved it. I think many experts are sitting in the US
but they don't know the C-Pen. So I will try to put them together.
By the way I live in Dortmund. It seems that the financial situation of people
who work in Dortmund or Lund is quite similar...

kind regards

I think WinCE itself and the WinCE devices will have to really be
different to compete with the Palm.  It doesnt have Word or Excel
built in, but I understand those versions aren't very powerful
anyway.  There are a number of very powerful spreadsheets to choose
from for the palm.  I'm not sure about word processors.  I know
Oracle has announced they're working on a Palm client and IBM's DB2
Palm client is already available.  We may not see a SQL Server
client on the Palm right away.  :)

There are phones with Palms built in.  You will be able to do
wireless banking and stock trading with a Palm.  That might already
be working.  Even a licensed version of Sim City for the Palm.  I
guess Microsoft Flight Simulator is too much to hope for. :)

This might be a little like the days of the Apple and the PC.  IBM
quickly jumped out ahead of Apple (who had previously been number 2
to Tandy) by such a wide margin that by the time Apple thought up
the Mac it was too late to make any difference.

Part of the reason was that there were so many PC's that the
developers were all writing for it and that's where the good
software was, at least in most areas.  Given the difference in
market share now with Palm and WinCE, I think the same situation
might exist.

Hi.  Has anyone successfully setup their palmtop with one
the latest free internet companies in the USA? (I mean the
nationwide ones, not your local freenet).

Two companies I am studying at this time are worldspy.com
and freewwweb.com  These are banner free, and the last one
lets you use your own software.  Are there any others which
would work?

I got a color Palm a few days ago.  Not long enough to know what to
expect about battery life, but I charged it the day I got it and
I've been using it fairly heavily (trying things out on it) for 3.5
days and it still says full.  Being Lithium Ion it might drop off
suddenly.  I don't know yet.

The test results I read (not from Palm but I don't have the url)
said it ran continuously for 16 hours with the backlight turned all
the way down and 7 hours with it turned all the way up.  Turned up,
the backlight is too light to be comfortable.  I've been keeping it
at about the 10% level and I find that pretty comfortable.  In the
dark I have to move that down to about 5%.  I would have expected to
need more light in the dark but it gets too bright.  I guess because
my eyes are adjusted for the dark.

There is one disappointment and I guess I should have expected this,
but I didn't.  The screen is TFT and not high density and that means
you see individual pixels and a slight grid-like effect.  I have the
same thing on my 800x600 12.1" laptop screen, but it's more
noticable on the Palm.  On the mono Palm, as on the 200lx, lines on
the screen have a very sharp edged, clean look.  It's sad to loose
that.

To a large degree it does, although there are some products for CE
that Palm doesnt support (mostly multi-media, mp3, etc) palm has a
huge amount of software available for it, and most of it is free or very
low cost... often less than $10.

As for the developers,  im one of them and really tried hard to develop
for CE, but its just too expensive for too little market share... while palm
developers can download a GNU compiler and start coding palm apps
with $0 startup costs,  WinCE developers must buy a CE development
kit which is an add-on for Microsoft C++ (or VB if thats still supported) so
you have to buy that too (which MS didnt see as an obstacle as EVERY
developer should already have MS C++ or VB). ...and there wasnt
(maybe still isnt) an emulator so you realistically need a palmtop
from each hardware platform your are going to support to assure your app
works as expected...  and for all that trouble you get what?  20% of the
market
instead of 70+% with palm which you can develop apps for with very little
cost.  Basically the CE development houses are either larger companies,
or really diehard hobbists who already had the developement tools on
hand.  The grass roots development community that has sprung up around
the Palm has few comparisons in scope... except perhaps DOS, Windows,
and Linux.

Well enough ranting.

From what ive heard so far, the Color Palm has a very predictable
discharge curve, so it doesnt drop off to nothing but falls gradually,
although it will probably start dropping faster once it moves from
full.  Im curious how it works for you... I have an HP and a Palm V,
the Palm V is great but color support in the IIIc may tempt me. :)

Yep, it is a little disappointing... i can see why they did it though as
it makes their 160x160 color screen 100% compatible with apps
written for older palm devices.   I would have liked to have seen a
320x320 screen with a low-res 160x160 (4 pixels become one)
mode for compatibility.  Even if implemented like greyscale support
was originally (ie supported by the hardware, but no builtin apps
used it) it would have been a nice feature for 3rd party apps and
future versions of palmOS.   But at any rate im degressing.

Im thinking of using a Palm IIIc + Qualcomm ThinPhone + SprintPCS
to access the web, email, etc.

However, battery life is an issue with the color Palm. If you use a Palm
like I use my HP (I recharged my 200lx after 17 Buddy Hours in a week),
you'll have to recharge one at least twice a week based on its tested
battery life. I read using my HP about an hour and half daily while
commuting and constantly using the calculator and 230 MB of dictionaries I
have installed. If I had a CE 3.0 machine, I'd probably also use it to
listen to music while commuting to replace my MD player.

Most Palm users, unless they read ebooks alot, have the power on a 15 to 30
minutes a day. Thus a color Palm would run two to three weeks under that use
scenario. It was noted on Ugeek (good place for info on Psion and Palm) that
Palm users were starting to sound like Mac users (I bleed rainbow) and
defensive about battery life in various newsgroups.

Cheers,

Bob

Palm rates their battery life in weeks of normal use, which doesnt compare
well
against battery life in hours etc as you alude to above.   But my earlier
comments
(at least as far as the Palm V, numerous CE units, and HP's) were based on
identical usage patterns with the devices...  Ive found the HP's (with
normal AA
batteries), the Palm III (with normal AAA batteries) and Palm V (with
rechargable
li-ion polymer batteries) to have comparable battery life... lasting for
weeks to
months between battery changes with a my normal daily use which probably
amounts to an hour or more a day.

The WinCE devices ive used (and later sold on ebay <g>) seem to go dead in
a week or less even if you NEVER turn them on at all.  In daily use the b/w
devices
become battery gluttons and the color devices need to keep a close eye on
where
the recharger is because it will be needed sooner than later... and often
right in
the middle of a meeting mid-day or at another inconvienient time.

I havent used the IIIc from palm yet, so anything i say is based on what ive
read
from palms literature and (more importantly) what independent testing on
battery
life from a few software companies have turned up.   The tests ive seen show
the
palm IIIc at middle brightness to have approximately the same (actually a
bit better)
battery life than the Palm V.   Since the Palm V shows no difference in my
usage
from a Palm III or palm im hoping the IIIc will do fine in that regard.

As for 'palm' users 'getting' defensive about battery life etc.  I don't
know for others
but ive been ranting about battery life since HP abandoned the 200lx and it
became
clear that a successor would eventually need to be found for my trusty
companion. There
have been a great number of handhelds come out in the past few years, and
that vast
majority (most of them CE) try so hard to cram every feature under the hood
that they
can... they loose sight of the devices usefulness in the process.

After a few bouts with CE and completely confirmed in Palm was a mere toy...
I finally
tried one (bought for pennies on ebay), and found it unexpectedly to share
many of
the traits that I found so useful with the HP, and #1 YEP DEFINITELY MY #1
concern
was that the battery life is sufficient that the unit is there when i need
it without having
to constantly worry and monitor it like i found myself doing with the CE
units.

The CE/Palm debate can go on forever, just as DOS/Windows, and PC/Mac, im
not
a Palm Zelot or CE fanatic, ive pretty much used most of the handhelds out
there at
one point or another (with the exception of the Nokia 9000i which ive always
wanted
to try <g>) and every unit ive tried be it Omnigo, Newton (except 2k),
Amstrad, Mobilepro,
Mobilon, or casio have always lost out to HP... only the Palms have
performed well
enough and been there when i needed them enough to keep around. :)
Although im
still hoping the new Linux PDA from samsung may catch my interest.   Im a
confirmed
gadget junkie so im sure it or something else will grab my attention for a
while...

On this thread, I recently began considering alternatives to my 200LX when I discovered that mine has the dreaded hinge crack.  While I am figuring out the best way to fix it, I dug up some of the also-ran Palmtop PCs that I have accumulated.

My first inclination was toward the 95LX, but I have been too spoiled by the amount of  information presented on the 200's screen as well as its much richer built-in apps, and so I let the 95 lie.

The Zoomer (AST GridPad version) I didn't even take for a spin because I well remember that in spite of it's excellent screen resolution, size, and contrast and the richness of the built-in apps, it was too slow to be practical as a PIM.  The quirky handwriting recognition only magnified the speed problem.

Then there is the HP OmniGo (I have the 100).  A potential gem with it's dual input, 360-degree hinge, Graffiti (IMHO the best solution in theory and practice to the handwriting recognition problem), zippy performance, and decent suite of apps.  I could even learn to live with the difficult screen, with its low contrast, high reflectivity, and somewhat small size (if you view it at the right angle it's OK) and the quirky battery usage (after all, AA Alkalines in bulk are cheap and can be easily replaced before the final curtain).  But the inanity of implementation of the OS/User Interface and some aspect of the built-in apps has made me nearly smash it to bits a few times!  The appointment book, for me the defining application for any Palmtop as I use it, is pretty good, taling may cues from the impeccable version in the 200LX.  The month view, the single feature of the 200LX appointment book that holds it far-and-above any other to date, is admirable for what is shows you in the small screen area.  But the l
ack of an appointment-only option in the Appt. view, as well as the absence of a few other basic adjustments, makes it too much of a chore to manage.  Cleaning out old appointments, which one must do to keep the performance from getting very bogged down, while selectively keeping some for the record is very tedious and time-consuming.  And the To-Do function is of very limited use as more than a handful of carry-forwards really slows the app down almost everywhere.  For that matter, all the database-like apps get unnacceptably slow after a modest amount of entries are accumulated, and the delay seems to grow geometrically with the number of entries.  Maybe I am spoiled by the 200LX allowing me to accumulate lots of old stuff (like one full year of appointment and to-do entries with several every day) with only a minor performance hit.   Then there is the lack of scroll-bars for pages that have more than one screenful.   Who knows how much more is there, and who wants to hold the little up or down thingy for a
 long time.  And Help that does not stay open.  How many times have I gone through the steps of getting to the Graffiti punctuation keystrokes from the start?  The spreadsheet can only be described as "cute" with its 64x64 limitation.  And I still can not fathom how to manage the equation solver case list.  Just when I think I have got it figured out, I get another useless copy of my equation or I lose some changes I just made.  Don't get me wrong  - the OmniGo is an admirable machine in many ways, but it irritates me that it falls short of being truly practical in areas that could easily have been better.

On the OmniGo, the lack of file-level access is terribly irritating, especially when the attempt to "hide" the filesystem from the user's concerns fall flat on its face in the long run.  At least the Zoomer had the File Manager, though mucking with the innane Geo-DOS file structure is like traversing a 3-D minefield.  And could they have made worse use of RAM cards on the OmniGo?  The connectivity pack software is shameful in it lack of emulation of some very basic functions on the handheld itself - like no month view in Appt.  I can't believe they had the nerve to charge nearly $100 for that mess!

Now to the WindowsCE world.  Admitedly, my example is somewhat low-end and dated: a Cassiopeia A-11, I believe, running WindowsCE 1.0 or 1.1.  The lack of a Find function in the calendar app, combined with no month view showing appointment headers makes this app essentially useless for me.   Another show-stopper:  scrolling through a Pocket Excel spreadhseet, something you need to do a lot with such a small view, is unacceptably slow.  in general, I can't stand to see the slow performance simply because the little processor is so bogged down with essentially useless graphical interface fluff!  I am curious to try an updated WinCE machine, but everytime I attempt to examine one in a store, either the battery is too low and there is no A/C power connected or the system is hopelessly locked up!  And I don't even need to get into the battery life issue.

In the end, the HP 200LX had nearly the perfect balance to make it a useful, practical device for professional and even serious amateur |-) to use, effectively and without embarassment.  Why HP stopped this line, and even stopped production of this unit, is a mystery that only the gods of marketing madness can answer.  In the meantime, what is the best way to deal with the hinge crack?  I have read the FAQ and archive stuff at several main sites, so I am aware of:  super-glue (aughh!), melt fusion, and brass braces.  Right now, I have a little piece of clear 3M "Decorate and Repair" tape on it, and it is a serviceable temp fix.  The brass braces sound like the best functional fix, and I don't mind the appearance, but I don't see myself doing the metal fabrication duties with much success.  I was thinking of the hot-melt glue gun as one possible approach.    Any suggestions/ recommendations/ experiences?

Thanks, and apologies for the length.  I just don't know how to control myself! |-)

I recently purchased a new 56K low power modem from Thaddeus for use with
the LX200, following favourable reports in the Palmtop Papers. My first
attempts to make it work were totally unsuccessful, until I disabled
acemodem.com in autoexec.bat.  Users of Ace Doubleflash cards will recall
this little replacement for the cic100.exe modem driver included in ROM.
The replacement modem driver was recommended by Ace for use with the Ace
card drivers that had to be loaded in config.sys along with their version
of stacker etc. It has lived for many years in my autoexec.bat and worked
with several different modem cards over the years, but not this one. Anyway
I no longer use the stacked Doubleflash card that I purchased years ago and
so was able to dispense with the whole lot of Ace drivers including the
modem driver. The new card works just fine with the d:\bin\cic100.exe
driver. Anyone contemplating using the 56K modem and swapping it frequently
with a Doubleflash card will not be able to do so without rebooting with
the appropriate drivers each time.

Ian, have you tried the LXCIC modem driver on the SUPER site.  Much smaller
than cic100 and more flexible .... maybe even compatible with Doubleflash
drivers?

That's a bit different than what you told me. When you
asked me to try this out you said they check for the domain
name "mobilpost.com" in the FROM address, and you told me
to use "avi@mobilpost.com". When I did, they cut me off
after one message.

If they check for "avi@mobilpost.com" they will not find
it, and they are correct in assumeing that I am a spammer
and cut me off.

If I use a FROM: with "martin@mobilpost.com" they should find me in
their list and let me use their SMTP.

If you use a FROM: with "martin@compuserve.com" they should
do what?

The question also is what they check. I am assuming they
check the FROM field in the email, but that is based on the
assumption I formed when you told me to tey with the domain
name. But is this really correct?

Maybe they do that, maybe not. They also may be checking
that you did an access to POP3 first. Did you ever set it
up that way? I know I mentioned it to you several times,
but so not recall what you replied to that.

So looks like you did not use POPFirst=1. Please, please
put that in your POST.CFG in the section that describes the
ISP you are ACCESSING, not where you dial in...

Considering the level of knowledge you described your rep
has, he may not know what really happens, and you really
should try. The POPFirst is a change you make to your OWN
POST.CFG. It changes the behaviour of Post.exe so it first
accesses the POP3 server, sends authentication and
downloads anything that was there waiting for you. THEN it
goes to SMTP.

At that point they already know who you are, you just
authenticated yourself.

Please do the POPFirst=1 first of all, and let us know...
When I tested for you, I had no access to POP3, and my
second email was rejected. But that is to be expected.

You may not have a problem, please let us know how the
POPFirst=1 parameter works for you...

Longden,

No I haven't tried that but thanks for the tip. I have downloaded lxcic and
can see from the documentation that it gives a lot of optional control and
is quite small. The acemodem driver was also much smaller than cic100. When
I get a chance I'll try lxcic in combination with the Ace Doubleflash
drivers, although I no longer really need the latter. If lxcic works with
the 56K modem I'll probably switch to it because of its size and
flexibility.

Thanks
Ian

maybe a lose contact between screen cable and the screen.
try pressing on the left border of the screen (abt. 1in above the left
hinge). Does that let the fuzzing go away? If this is the case,
carefully pry off the screen's border plastic (this one that holds the
labels 'HP' '100LX' and 'Palmtop PC / xMB RAM) at the left side. There
shold be two screws. Try to screw them tighter with a torx-6 screw
driver.
That's the only idea I have about this one.

Also here the only thing I can think of is a lose contact. This time at
the battery contacts that go to the mainboard.
If you're familiar with opening the palmtop, open its body and look if
the wires coming from the batteries are still 'snapped' into the
battery contacts on the mainboard. If yes, try to clean them or look if
one of these battery contacts have a cold soldering point.


One of your problems (or maybe both) could have to do with a mainboard
failure. Then you had to (let) exchange the mainboard.

Hope this helped,

Yes I did.. You know the serviceman I have been talking with..well I
talked with another serviceman which tells me that it checks for
"martin" too. This is new info that I have not had the time to bring to
you. Sorry about that. But it does not change a thing though. If they
check for martin@mobilpost.com they should find me in the database and
let me use it. But I get the error we have talked about even though I
should not.

So my guess is that I now have two crappy servicemen that feeds me
disinformation.

Sorry to not bring this to you first since we have had a dialog about
this for some time. I have not been disinfroming you it is just a new
"turn" in the case. Which I did not get to you first.. Sorry if you
felt like I was leading you on in anyway. The facts remain the same
though.

They cut me too off. I use martin@mobilpost.com which is a alias. If I
use the correct address I get cut of anyway so it still does not make
sense..They consider me a spammer even though they should as they say
find me in the database. I do not think they check for first name at
all.

No the error is still there.. All your previous help is still
"good", nothing has changed. :-)

Consider me a spammer I guess..but they do that anyway..and you too :-)

As I told you above, my servicemen are giving me different information
now. What is correct I do not know. But the fact remain:It does not
work the way they say with my/your machine/Post/Lx

Yes I did try that. And yes we have discussed that some time ago. I
have tried with Popfirst and not, but nothing changes.

I have had it there all the time until yesterday then I removed it
because I could not even access the POP3. I had to remove it to get
Post/lx to send my email through a different smtp I have. But according
to my servicman they do not check for a POP first so..according to him:
"hmm that would be nice if we did that.."

Yes I know.. I know how many emails you answer and I can assure you
that we have covered this some time ago you have just forgotten it :-))

Yes if that was the case I would be glad, but that is not the case.

I get the same error even though I POPFirst=1 and I get the same error
if I use johwwayne@mobilpost.com or martin@mobilpost.com or my
"real"address@mobilpost.com.

Sorry if I raised your bloodpressure Avi, but the facts remain:
smtpserver checks for _either_ the full address or just @mobilpost.com
when I use the smtp, but it gives me errors anyway..

I should have posted this info to you before I posted it here. I will
reply to your latest mail about this when I have tried Goin Postal..

BTW: Did you send this email/message twice? I got it twice to my
popaccount..well I guess I shoud be glad that I get messages at all :-)

Has anyone on the list ever used a Gefox One?  They intriqued me when I
first saw them, especially because they actually offered a real numeric
keypad.  They didn't last long, but they used Epoc, the same operating
system as the Psion 5.

Okay, here's my understanding.  When it is too dark, the
lighting conditions would be bad.  Bad lightening might
happen if you were trying to make something less dark and
it didn't come out well.  Bad lightning can occur during
a thunderstorm.

Hope that helps.  :)

I recently got a Nino 210. These can be had cheap <$150. The apps are
actually not too bad. There is a spreadsheet called 'spreadce' that is a
pretty nice Pocket excel substitute (no charting or macros, tho but charting
is coming.) I also got XT-CE and Caldera Opendos on it for $35. So far, it
runs every DOS app I tried. I even got it to run a baby linux (ELKS). Linux
was not very useful but fun.

The big thing for me is the voice recorder. I am many times faced with
having to quickly remind myself of something but don't have the time to take
out a stylus or open the clamshell and type. Later, when things are slower I
listen to my voice notes and enter appointments or process whatever I needed
to do. It's also cool to send people voice notes via email. The battery life
on alkalines sucks but the rechargable battery pack is not bad ($20). I can
usually get about 10 hours constant use, even with backlight used often. I
hear that the 510 color version gets less than half the battery life...
that's ridiculous.

Thaddeus does a fair job for $125. I also found a glue that they use for
gluing laptop security cables to a desk. It's pretty tuff stuff and did a
good job on the hinge crack. Regular super glue just ain't good enough.

I looked at the online version of the drug reference.  It looks good at first
glance and I will look more as time permits.  I didn't see the CD ROM version
but will look for that as well.  I suspect it takes up much more space than the
K2 version of Lexicomp.

Just for clarity - it is Ctrl-LEFTShift-ON.  (right shift does not do
it)


Generally, it will ask if you want to reinitialize the ram (c: drive)
and you'd answer "NO!"  But if the hp determines things are too far
gone, it might just reinit without asking.

And the ram drive might be YOUR f: drive if you have a memory enhanced
200 altho it would really be the hp's c: drive with swapped references.

Rarely, if ever, should removing the batteries be necessary.  I have
beta tested a lot of software and (knock on wood), while I've been very
locked up, the hard reset has always worked and I've never lost any
data.

Unlike the HP100/200, the HP95's c: drive was very volatile and would
get corrupted more regularly.

Just remember that the HP's IR standard is an older standard and some of
the drivers that help the HP work with IR printers or other devices are
sometimes limited.  It may or may not work with that conversion product.

But I don't know anything about IR, really! (G)

Multi-media is a good example of what I think was Microsoft's

sub-woofer would be good, too.

As I use this color Palm I've begun to realize that the best feature
is the backlight.  Color is nice, but hardly necessary.  Last night,
laying in bed in total dark I had the Palm on and was studying some
code.  This is the single best feature I've seen in a PDA.  I'm
looking forward to seeing a backlit 200lx.  What a wonder that will

think even the new 3.5 OS will run on the original palms.  And
they've made it easy to write color software that works well in

Also the higher resolution would mean shorter battery life.  I think
one of the reasons they get good battery life is the low density
screen.

hours in the 4 days that I've had it.  Maybe even 8.  And the
battery has just begun to show less than full.

I do keep the backlight turned pretty low.  It's too bright if I
don't.

I have hotsynched it every day and it charges then.  Only 5 to 10
minutes a day but that's probably enough to distort any picture I'm
getting of how long the battery life is.

As for comments on combination Palm/WinCE sites, I read a lot of
reviews of this thing before I bought it, some on Palm sites, some
on Palm/WinCE sites and some on sites that aren't really about
either.  All the reviews either hadn't tested the battery life but
expected it to be poor, or had tested it and were surprised at how
good it was.  Except the Palm/WinCE sites.  Even the ones that
tested it found it poor.  Maybe they're a little pro-WinCE.  :)

I think the Color Palm probably has better battery life than the
WinCE machines because the screen isn't as crisp and the cpu is a
lot slower.

The TSR that Andrew is talking about changes the infrared protocol on the
handheld from the built-in proprietary SIR to the (later) industry
standard IrDA.  IrDA is what is used on most present-day machines,
printers, laptops, you name it.  With the driver, available on SUPER or on
HP's website, your palmtop "speaks" IrDA and so should work with any
IrDA-compliant device (i.e. not just HP printers).

The HP driver is limited in some respects, and there is another driver out
there (from Thaddeus?  I forget) that might be more flexible.  The HP
driver has the cardinal virtue (to my way of thinking) of being provided
free of charge. <g>

Now, a question:  would the HP driver (or the Thaddeus one, for that
matter) work with an Omnibook 430?  I've just picked up an OB and I just
love it-- it even looks like a jumbo palmtop-- but I don't think it's
IrDA-compliant.

In ref to batt chargers, I offer two.
I use a GE (BC1H) 110 AC for about $10. It holds two
batts with auto time off in one hr. I open and clse the
door whenever or not to run an extra recycle sometimes when
I think I may need it.  Don't know its merits but I switch
batts nightly and the batts run for another days use.

My other charger is a Toshiba (THC-39AH).  Forgot the
cost.is similar in aspects and is designated a NMHd
charger. Not auto but shuts off when charged as noted by
its LED.  Its big deel is that it is dual volt 100/240
input DC 3V 820mA output.  Think I got it at Akihabara.

The size of both is about the size of a deck of kards in
width and depth but a wee longer.  I hate those chargers
dat do 4 at a time.  Perhaps someone kan comment on its
merits or demerits.

I'm running v2.50. It works beautifully, auto-recognising a CGA
display. It's acceptably fast on a double-speed, but would be
better for being faster.

I only wish I knew enough maths to make use of it ;-)

I also have a freeware demo/tutorial/evaluation version which
is a little crippled in its functionality, but it's still
quite good. If there's an interest I could upload it to the

From following the list and from some other reading I find that is not
so.  Apparently
Irda fulfills some very basic level of compatibility.   But it does not
cover all the
ground, as illustrated by the recent discussion on Palm-HPLX
connectivity.
AFAIK, no one has yet come forward claiming to use that driver to print
to
the Cannon IRDA printer, for example.  I imagine it might work if the
Cannon
is made to emulate an HP printer, but AFAIK it will not work correctly in
native
format, if at all.   I would love to be wrong on this.  I don't like my
current HP
portable printer, and would love to be able to use the Cannon one.
Maybe
some expert could chime in and explain why it does not work.   Andreas?
Mack?
Anybody else?

I believe both drivers are from HP.  One is for Sysmgr applications, the
other
for DOS applications and built-in Lotus 123

I might mistaken, but I though those drivers were first meant for the
Omnibook laptops.  The Hplx part was an afterthought.

I'm sorry, I think I misunderstood the question.  Having the IrDA
"translator" TSR on your palmtop is like having the correct serial cable
to connect with a printer; you're right that it isn't a printer driver per
se.

But with the IrDA TSR *and* the printer driver, you should be fine, n'est
pas?  I'm no expert, I admit.

Is it a DOS driver for the Cannon that you need?  The MS Word for DOS 5.5
package currently (well, as of a couple of months ago) available for free
download on their website-- to legitimate users of their Word for DOS 5.0
only, of course-- contains a whole lot of DOS printer drivers.  Dunno if
that would be of interest.

Yes, that's the difference.  I didn't realize they were both HP products.

Are there any programs, preferably that will run on the HP200/LX, that =
will translate an Excel file (.xls) to text or dBase III, preferably =
shareware or freeware?

I wish it was that simple.   I don't know what the problem is, but the
drivers
are specific for HP printer

Je ne se pas.    No one has admited to getting that working here in the
list
(outside of HP IR printers).

> Is it a DOS driver for the Cannon that you need?

I wish it was that simple.   Connecting the IR adapter to another
printer, for
example, doesn't work.    I have read many inquiries about getting it to
work
with the Cannon IR printer, but I never heard yet of anyone making it
work.
I don't have one.   I meant I would have bought one if someone had
claimed
to make it work correctly here in the list.

SDK stands for Software Development Kit.  Usually a set of documentation and
some libraries, possibly source code.  Better SDKs include nice tools and
integrated development and testing environments (which sometimes means a
simulator).

SDK is Software Developer's Kit.

The maker of a piece of hardware with extensive software support (such as the LX
and C-pen) may offer an SDK to software developers as an aid for them to write
programs for the hardware.

So for example, 3rd party programmers don't have to know the exact gyrations
needed to power on C-pen ... they might only have to call a routine like
"PowerOn" or something ... makes life easier for developers and encourages
growth of more programs in support of the hardware.

It happens so often that I just want to share my experience:

I use the same modem, same provider, same dialin number on both
my palmtop and desktop. On the desktop I have IE 4.0 and Opera
installed, on the palmtop WWW/LX with HV. On the desktop I get
a 48000 baud carrier connection, on the palmtop 37333 baud.

Just yesterday I wanted to download a 200KB file from the net.
First I tried Opera. It hang after 4KB and every few seconds,
some more bytes arrived. Then I tried IE, same situation. I went
offline, connected the palmtop to the modem and guess what?
The file was immediately downloaded, without any interruption.

I had this experience more than once. so it CANNOT be by chance.
And it was never the other way round. Sometimes it happens,
that you cannot download a single byte from a site for some
reason. But if WWW/LX started once, it ALWAYS gets the whole
thing very fluently. Not so with IE or Opera on the desktop.

What shall I say? I really would like to know, what the secret
of WWW/LX is? But even without knowing, I'm glad it exists.

"Nobody" at my emailprovider can answer this question. Some say they
check for only mobilpost.com and some say that they check the full
address.

UPDATE: I have now tested to send email with my desktop pc. The smtp
server checks _only_ for @mobilpost.com. I sent messages successfull
with rookies@mobilpost.com with my desktop pc. But when I changed the
address to rookies@mUbilpost.com I got the same error as I get with
Post/Lx.(553 bad request mailbox name not allowed)

See below on how it went with Goin Postal

About the phonenumber@mobilpost.com see below..

Phonenumber instead of alias

> If that is the case, then all they need to do is add
> aliases to their database.

I will test with my desktop pc to see if they check for either
phonenumber or alias. If I use a phonenumber that does not exist I
should get a error on the desktop pc. If I get a error using
johnwayne@mobilpost.com they check for aliases too. I think they check
for @mobilpost.com only. SEE ABOVE

Yes I think so too. I will install it today and see what I get.

UPDATE
Goin Postal works. I put two messages in the outbox and go online. It
shows (very fast) that it talks with the smtp and I see that things
works out.. The word "OK" scrolls bye several times and the mails get
sent. (I could not pop my mailaccount in the same session, but this was
due to a mistyped password I think, but sending is ok)

> When you say here "correct address" do you mean the phone
> number?

Yes I do. I have tested with "alias"@mobilpost.com and
phonenumber@mobilpost.com and rookies@mobilpost.com. They consider me a
spammer any way I do it when I use Post/lx.

I use only one box to send mail from. I have two mailboxes that I pop3
and I had POPFirst=1 on the main/first/Mobilpost box and not on the
other since I do not use it to send anything.

> > "real"address@mobilpost.com.

Yep in all the combination I could think of:
Martin Bergvill <martin@mobilpost.com>
martin@mobilpost.com
Martin Bergvill <phonenumber@mobilpost.com>
Phonenumber@mobilpost.com
rookies@mobilpost.com
johnwayne@mobilpost.com

All these result in the error with Post/lx. None of these gives me
errors with desktop pc. I did not test all of them with Goin Postal but
it worked with "anything"@mobilpost.com.

Okey I see..

Yes it know seems that it must be Post/Lx that screws up the sending of
my From address or the smtpserver screws something up when it talks to
Post/lx. I have no idea what is wrong. My smtp lets me send messages as
long as it has @mobilpost.com in the from field when I use desktop pc
and Goin, but not with Post/Lx. It does not see that I am a
@mobilpost.com user and therefor consider me a spammer.

Time for forwarding this to Andreas? This is now a isolated
Post/LX/Mobilpost problem. You have enough info from private mails to
get him started.

TIA

How hard would it be to get www/lx to work with the win95 IP stack? It would
be nice to have a truly minimalist browzr on my desktop. Of course, that
means that it would have to run with palrun.com or int05... does it?

Not necessarily. If Martin@ is an alias and they really use your phone number
as the account number then that may be an issue. You told me that long ago they
let you get aliases, but no longer do this. Possibly the database is built
around phone numbers, not aliases?

Maybe the effect is so, because each of them knows only a piece of the truth.

Yes, it seems they cut off a "strangger" presuming it to be a spammer, as they
did to me, and that is ok for strangers, in fact they are too nice to even let
one go through, but that is ok...

The issue is still what happens with you. You may want to try the phone number
rather than martin in the email address you put in the FROM:.

If that is the case, then all they need to do is add aliases to their database.

You also said you will try Going Postal, just to see if problem can be better
isolated. I thought this was a good step, and I still think so. This will put
more brains behind the problem...

When you say here "correct address" do you mean the phone number?

This parameter affects the email box where you place the statement. so if you
send email out of another email box, and that box hasn't got the POPFirst then
it makes no difference what any other box has in terms of the POPFitst!

Not a problem posting here or to support@dasoft.com. I am mostly monitoring the

post where it is more comfortable for you. If we solve this publicly it means

www/lx works just fine running under palrun.exe (which provides interrupt 5 services) in a DOS window in W95.

How hard would it be to get www/lx to work with the win95 IP stack? It would
be nice to have a truly minimalist browzr on my desktop. Of course, that
means that it would have to run with palrun.com or int05... does it?

Thanks for the info and the url.

You know, we ought to create some kind of "branding iron" pattern to

Ok. So it is something that is or is not set up in Post/LX,
or some behaviour of the server when he sees something from
Post/LX (I am not trying to be paranoid here :-) ...)

I just tried 4-5 runs with identical results using
smtp=mail1.mobilpost.com, since the one you told me
failed completely. The messages that _do_ get sent out
arrive just fine... ..

Not necessarily Post/LX screws up, but it may be some
difference in the expected behaviour. I do not know.

I created a log from the Post/LX session and from the
little that I know it shows that the server is ready for
another message then cuts off the communication. Anyway
this log was already sent to Andreas to look. Thanks for
giving me sufficient info to reproduce the problem.

That's how I get most of my email for AT&T and cis and do newsgroups -
www/lx on my win98 desktop.  Using Palrun.  It is efficient, I'm
familiar with the interface and I don't have to worry about mail-virii
executing when I look at the email.

My only issue is that I cannot get a consistent 'window' size.  Mostly
it opens full screen but allows me to shrink it but I can't find any
method under win98 (win95 before that) where I can LOCK in my preferred
window size and location.

Yes, but I'm curious to know if there is a way to get HV and the other
applications to work through the windows IP stack. I know that those apps
won't work without talking to the www/lx stack but maybe there's a way to
get www/lx to use the windows IP stack. In this way, you can use the windows
IP apps and www/lx IP apps at the same time.

Stefan,

Thanks for the great plug for WWW/LX Plus. It is nice to
read good things.

To be fair, I also hear stories going the other way. A
customer recently tried, again and again to download files,
and managed www12.exe and post22.exe, but for some reason
could not get hv22.exe... He said this repeated over and
over, over several days. I finally sent him the file
attached to an email (using Post/LX of course! :) ...) So
these things happen, and it is not clear what gremlins
there are out there lurking.

But thanks again for the story! I am sure Andreas is
enjoying reading this, if he still monitors the list.

_With_ the IP stack of Win95 won't happen. www.exe has a
full TCP/IP stack built in (i.e. the dialler, and the
stack is there). WWW/LX will have to be modified to comply
with Windows' way of doing things. I somehow I not see
Andreas being motivated to deal wit this. My best guess:
Will never happen :-) ... Besides, if it did, it might add
so much code the program won't run in the palmtop anymore.

BUT - I use WWW/LX sometimes on the desktop (as others do).
There is a program called PALRUN on our Webpage in the ftp
in the MISC directory (or did I move it to the WWW
directory?) This program emulates the environment for
Palmtop. You run it in a DOS box. It is probably ugly
looking <G>, but the speedier cip is delightful to have...

Fred,

try creating a WWW/LX icon on the desktop (if you have not already) and
do a right-click to select the "properties" menue. You should be able
to select a "full screen window" button somewhere.

Yes that is my guess. We have now isolated this to Post/lx/my smtp

_All_ my messages that I have in my outbox gets sent, but since I have

Messages sent by me to anybody turns up with the correct From field. So
I do not know where the error is. Why my smtp fails to read what is in
the From field when I use Post/Lx I do not know.

I will send a letter to my emailprovider and I will tell them all I
know about this problem and ask them if they have any solution. I do
not belive that I will get any help from them.

Yes that is what my emailprovider gets too when he Telnet to Port:?. I
think he used a wrong emailadress and then he saw this behaviour when
he tried to send two messages. This is how the smtp works. It let you
send one "spam message" but not two.

Your welcome. It is not a problem when I am at home, then I can use my
isp's smtp. But when connected to my university's ethernet this bothers
me alot.

I'm quite sure (and thankful) that this will never happen ;-)
Otherwise I could get some coffee while waiting for a 1KB download.

In my imagination there is a queue of big guys in the backery
shop and then the little boy called WWW/LX comes in and all the
big guys say: come on, let this little boy be the first in the

We big guys (IE, Netscape, Opera...) can wait.

Hi There!

I have a serious problem- I want to install Norton pcANYWHERE 5.0 for DOS
on my 200LX, but have just realized that my diskettes are destroyed by
fungus!

So, I would like to check if anyone on this list have this program and
could give me a copy? If you want, I can send you the files I have been
able to save in order to prove to you that I actually have an original

Looking forward to a positiv reply!

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

LxTel is of interest for you if you live in Germany or visit
Germany or get (friendly) phone calls from Germany (then you
can tell the caller which provider is the cheapest for a call
from Germany to your country).

The German telephone market just entered it's 2.phase of
privatisation. The 1.phase took one year and is best described
by "I want a piece of cake". The 2.phase now is more aggressive
and translates to: "If I don't get your piece of cake I'll kill
you". Prices are falling almost every week and you have to know
which provider you have to predial for which distance at what
time of day. Here is is where LxTel comes in.

LxTel always displays the cheapest provider at the current time
of day for all differnt distances within Germany and for most
foreign countries.

The new version has a least cost router and a phone book
built in. If you select an entry of the phone book and press
Enter, automatically the cheapest provider is selected and
predialed through the modem (which must be connected). You only
have to pick up the phone and talk.

It also includes a list of call by call internet provider in
Germany. You may use these providers from every landline
without registration. They bill a very low minute rate to the
owner of the landline. LxTel includes on it's help page 9
the phone numbers, login and passwords required to access these
call by call ISPs. The phone numbers are identical all over
Germany. If your email provider allows SMTP/POP access if you
logged in through a differnet provider, these call by call
ISPs may serve you while you visit Germany and have access
to a landline. It should also work in Hotels, if they are not
"preselected" to only one private phone provider.

The usefulness of LxTel depends of the actuality of the
underlying data base, which I update about every fortnight
and send for free to the subscribers of my LxTel newsletter.

I'm sorry to say, that all text in LxTel is in German. That is,
if you want to use it, you should know some German.

pcANYWHERE 5.0 for DOS comes free with the newer versions of pcANYWHERE32
for Windows, but it does not run on the 200LX, as I recall.  I believe
pcANYWHERE 4.5 is the last version to run on the 200LX...

Ah, but I want a smaller window - NOT a full-screen window.  What is odd
(what is not odd about windows! (G)), is that sometimes it opens in a
smaller window and NOT full screen, but most times it opens as a
FULL_SCREEN_DOS_GRAPHIC program.  But I don't seem to have control over
this full/window operation.  I like the smaller window.  I believe it
may have to do with my chosen graphic resolution/setting on the desktop
and also what was open or what the cursor is actually on, when post
opens its palrun-assisted-hp-graphic-screen.  There is no consistency.
The same occurs with accis.

And I have a post-icon on the desktop, I have a "launcher" with Post on
it - and now, on this new 'internet' keyboard, I have shocked MS and
replaced its email selection with POST (g), so I only have to hit the
"mail" key and Post is launched.  BUT again, most times it opens full
screen and once every ten or so times, it will open a smaller window.

I should add, that unlike some OLDER DOS GRAPHIC programs where Windows
says "this program must run in full screen and will not operate as a
window", Post under Palrun is operational in a smaller window.

You are correct  - pcAnywhere 4.5 is the last version that will run on
the HP200.

David,

Did you have any troubles with the upgrade?  Is the palmtop in the mail yet?
If so, when should I expect it?  I want to be sure it doesn't get lost in
transit.  I also want to start "playing" with it ASAP <g>.

This isn't an exact answer to your question, but both Excel and
dBase III will export to comma or tab delimited files.  You can also
generate a report in dBase in a text format that looks like you want
it to look on the 200lx.

Excel offers the option of saving a spreadsheed in *.wk1 format that
the 200lx Lotus can read.  Then you could have it generate a text
report in a convenient form, or generate comma or tab delimited
files.

Excel will also export to an HTML file which can be read on the
200lx with HV.

You have a lot of options.  I'm sure I haven't thought of half of
them.

I used TimeLine for DOS for many years. I believe last version
was 5.0 Now I use MS Project for Windows. Both are OK.
TimeLine DOS 3.0 runs on the LX, but it is slow and the number
of projects is limited if you don't have EMS.

IntelliSync for the HP 200LX Palmtop.  Retail is $69.95.  I'll sell for
$35 (plus $2 shipping in the USA).

Description: IntelliSync for the HP 200LX is a program that enables you to
synchronize your HP 200LX Appointment Book, Phone Book, NoteTaker, and Database
applications with a host of popular Windows applications.  This means that if
you want to keep the same data in your HP and in your PC, there's an easy way
to make sure that both systems contain the same, up-to-date information.

IntelliSync has the ability to transfer data of different formats between your
HP and your PC.  But it does more than simply translate and transfer data.
IntelliSync compares the records in your palmtop to the records in your PC.  It
then makes whatever changes are necessary in each system to keep them both
up-to-date, and synchronized.

In addition to synchronization, IntelliSync can also import and export data,
backup HP 200LX files to your PC for safekeeping, and restore backed-up data to
your HP.  IntelliSync can also transfer data to your HP 200LX from other
handheld computers.

http://home.t-online.de/home/stefan.peichl/

It is a must for everybody in germany. It makes the hp200lx to an
automatic dialer using the *most* INEXPENSIVE provider.

It also can be used in batch files.

An outstanding software! All my respect!

Hi Richard,

If I remember correctly, the 700LX has got the same pinout as the
100/200LX.
You can get info about the serial port (also the pinout) on my home

Yes, with WWW/LX it should work. Just set PORT=-1 instead PORT=1 or 2
in the WWW.CFG and WWW/LX will use the IR port and will speak the IrDA
protocol.

But note that only WWW/LX has this capability of speaking IrDA; if you
set another com program to COM1 and set COM1 to IR with LXPRO or
another program that allows to set the serial port settings, the
IR-port of the LX won't speak IrDA, but the HPSIR protocol. The Psion
IrDA-Modem probably won't understand that.

Please report if it works!

I really don't want to dim your enthusiasm about WWW/LX; maybe it is
really a little wonder, I don't know. ;-)

But: maybe you simply have different proxy settings in WWW/LX than on
your desktop?
I recognized a similar behaviour sometimes, and as far as I recall,
problems disappeared by either deleting or adding a proxy setting in
Netscape or IE.

Gosh, while he is at it he could add support for Compuserve's HMI interface
too.  And some pretty, animated buttons to click would be nice.  I am kidding,
of course, knowing his lack of enthusiasm for Windows and proprietary
protochols like HMI.

I do not know if you received my last email? I would like to know some more
about the IntelliSync. What version? Is it your personal copy or new. I
noticed that your are with hisword.net, I have a ministry called Through His
Word Ministries, I do Bible Studies. Any way I have a Rex Pro card (data
organizer) and I would like to get my 200Lx into the picture. Will your
program run under Win98? please send me some info.
Thanks, Frank

Lightning is the word for the sudden intense electrical discharges
that happen during thunderstorms.

Does anyone know how I can stop Frewwweb from popping up every time I
open something Internet-related?  I set up an account to try it

Its software? I thought you could use the service without
extra software.   Actually, I signed up after linking from a
web review, and it did not mention anything else.  Later I
looked for the web page because I was not sure I did it
right, and it mentioned the software the second time.  But
it seems to work without it.

You can download Excel View from microsoft.com.  This is a
windows app, but it lets you view any Excel file.  (There are
comparable programs for Word and Powerpoint.  These are all
free.)

When you use this to open a .xls file, you can do Ctrl-A, then
Ctrl-C to copy the entire contents to the clipboard.  Then you
can bring up notepad or wordpad and do Ctrl-V to paste the
clipboard contents.  Save this as a .txt file, and you will
have a tab-delimited ascii file that contains what you want.

This works well for Word or Word-View too.

It ran some type of executable file when I signed up (that's what I
get for leaving Java enables). It's annoying, but not
system-threatening.  I have a cable modem and don't need a
dial-up at home, except when @home is down.  When I open Netscape or
Eudora their DUN pops up. And I just want to make it go away. :-)

I see you are far advanced compared to me. I simly do_ALL_my e-mail on
palmi and refuse to even think about using the labtop. On the labtop is
only the business e-mail which I handed over to my secretary (g). She
forwards only the important stuff to my compuserve account (g). Adds up
to more free time and less cursing about having to reboot (G).

I  don't know if I missed something here, but my suggestion
would be to either save the excel file as a Lotus .WK1 file
or get the sender to do so (or get someone to convert for
you - email it to me if you want).

As long as the excell file is basic ( ie no macro's or commands
not supported in Lotus 123) it should convert easily. I write
all my spreadsheets in Excel then port them into the HP200
via WK1 conversion.

Eh?  pcANYWHERE 5.0 for DOS exists and is currently distributed on the
pcANYWHERE32 9.0 for Windows CD-ROM.  But it won't run on the 200LX,
unfortunately ... version 4.5 is the last version to run on the 200LX.

I don't think the 200LX's IR port is IrDA compliant, although some
software packages have been written to allow it to print to IrDA prnters
and communicate with phones and what not.  What all would the 200LX be
DOING if it were hooked up to a C-Pen?  Just viewing text, or what?

Have you checked the home page setting?  Also, see if they put anything
on WIN.INI or some
other INI file.   Unfortunately I don't know anything about messing
around with REGEDIT, but
that would be the last resort.

I am sure glad I did not download that software, after all.  :-)

Yep, it works great and is very quick.  It uses more power than Sandisk
cards do, though, at least in the 200LX.  However, in most any other
device, the Simple Tech cards perform better and use the same power as a
Sandisk card.

<<<<I have a serious problem- I want to install Norton pcANYWHERE

My company had a situation years ago when someone spilled ketchup
with a 5.25 floppy (with a $10,000) program on it that was to be
demoed to the CEO that afternoon.   I slit open the outer cover of
the disk and carefully took out the inner disk and washed it very
carefully in mild soapy water.  Then I held it in front of an a/c
outlet to dry.

I then slit the cover off a blank disk, put that cover on the other
inner disk and it worked perfectly.  The demo was a success.

That won't work, of course, if the inner portion of the disk is also
damaged.  But I thought I'd mention it since you didn't specify.

Hi David,

here are some possibilties for using the C-Pen as an input device for the 200LX:

C-Pen is a Mobile Information Collector that reads,
remembers, processes and transfers printed
text cordlessly to your Windows-equipped
PC. C-Pen is in essence an electronic high-lighter
that remembers the text that you are
marking. Carry it with you wherever you
go!
Your Personal Digital Assistant
Make it a habit to bring your portable text
collector with you, and you are always
ready to read and save text from books,
papers, brochures or business cards. You
can easily record price-lists, timetables,
wine-tips or witty quotes. You don t have
to tear out pages any more.
Your saved text files can later be transferred to your PC or to the 200LX
instantly.
It may also be possible to use C-Pen to read text directly into the text editor
of the 200LX.
There are no limits to your imagination!

regards


Martin Tischer

P.S. I think it doesn't make sense to development software for an IrDA printer
if the 200LX Ir port is not IrDA compliant.

I wonder if it could be adapted to American phone services/costs.  There

Anybody know if IntellSync will run on Win 98?  I understand it was a good
product but may have been limited to use on Win 95.

Hi all.

I still have a few items left from my last sale, and a few more items to
add to the list.

I'll be posting these items tomorrow around 7am (pacific time), so this is
a heads up for anyone with loose change to spend <g>.

So far only in a digital camera (Nikon E800). But they're terrific and
Kodak's little K1000 charger is great as well. About 80 minutes to recharge
two or 160 minutes for four batteries. They have the highest mAh rating of
any NiMH batteries I've seen yet. I'd try them in the LX200 but I don't
want to break up a set of four and I still have a good set of two older (5
years old) 1100 mAh batteries from Ace technologies. It seems you can only
buy them in sets of four, at least here in Canada.

At the DOS prompt (Ctrl-123), enter the command "password". Now if you
turn it off with ON + ENTER, it will ask for your password before
resuming.

You can also enter "password /a" to do this every time it's turned on.
"password /m" sets it back to manual.

Folks,

I have a Velo1 WinCE machine as well as my Hp 200lx. After hearing the
pocketDOS discussions and reading the article in Handheld Computing, I
decided to give it another look see.

My velo has a small "Flash Miniature Card". PocketDOS see it as a "C"
drive and a couple apps that wouldn't run on WinCE, when placed on the
ard work fine.

I don't have enough room to try WP5.1 on it.

Hello everybody!

I have two tips for you:

1:After several meaningless searches with the Alta Vista search engine I =
mentioned it to a friend of mine who adviced me to try www.alltheweb.com =
instead.And so I did and got much much better hits.

This engine is smaller,only about 5k is needed to downolad,i.e. not so =
much crap,and it works not only great but also faster with the LX than =
Alta Vista.

So I changed Dasofts homepage and took away its Alta Vista link and =
replaced it with a alltheweblink instead,and it works just fine together =
with hv.

2.The text of some html documents become so small when viewing them with =
hv so it is not so enjoyable for the eyes to read them,instead I copy =
only hv and the homepage to a directory of their own and open up the html =
document in question from this hv instead,then you will get the text in =
normal size and much more easier to use.

This sounds interesting. I wonder if I can use this for something.

This is what I like.

When I connect to internet with modem or ethernet at home or by
cellular I want to use "my.isp.smtp".

If I connect through ethernet at the university I would like to use
"my.emailproviders.smtp"

Is it possible to use the above setup that you describe to do this? I
should be able to use "my.emailproviders.smtp" always without problems,
but because of my crappy emailprovider this is not possible. When using
"my.emailproviders.smtp" I get errors but the mails get sent. (This is
something I have to live with until I get this fixed)

I usually use "my.isp.smtp". But I would like to be able to switch
between them without editing the post.cfg all the time.

I could of course have two mailboxes. One with "my.emailproviders.smtp"
and one with "my.isp.smtp" , but if the above is possible to do I would
rather do that.

At the university I use dhcp to get a ip address. At home I use a fixed
one when connecting to my home ethernet. And when I connect directly I
get a ip address from my Isp.

TIA

Does compuserve SMTP support authentication? For that matter, does post/lx?
If so then you don't have to configure a different SMTP server for each ISP.
This was the solution I came up with for a client with many remote laptop
users that dialed into different ISPs.

Subject:      PNR - Vowels on German HP 200LX

Hello,

the German version of the 200LX has several country-specific
keyboard characters. If I view a message that contains these
characters with PNR, they show up as different characters or
a combination of characters, which makes it sometimes difficult
to read the message text.

Further, in message headers I can identify a line like

   Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

My guess is that the sender's messages contain the information
about the character set being used to create the message.

How can I make PNR to decode and display vowels properly?

I appreciate some background information how the problem of
different country characters is treated.

Thank you
Norbert

This is a message from System Manager telling you that is
cannot find one or more of the applications to go along with
the icons in AppMgr.  Every time you turn the palmtop on, it
double checks the connections between the AppMgr icons and
the applications they point to.  For some reason, it cannot
find one of those applications.  This can happen if the
flashcard is out or you renamed a directory that held an app
or something like that.

It is really just a warning and it not going to cause any
crash or anything like that.  Just that when you try to launch
the "missing" application it won't be able to find it.

The following are still available:

 a. $10   95LX Connectivity Kit (from Nuvatech ... includes the box, cable and
software)

 b. $10   SPFPC 2.1  -  IBM mainframe editor cut down to size.  Runs on the LX
just fine, but definitely not for everyone.  (box, manual, software)

 c. $10   Stacker 4.1  - got it (used) just before flash drives went down in
price and ended up never using it (box, manual, software)

 d. $50   Zoomer (includes AMT 2400 Star modem, HP 5 mb flash card, serial cable
and software (Grafitti, Quick Shuffle card games) ) ... my first PDA.  Runs GEOS
and has lots of stuff in ROM.  No manual so this is only for someone already
familiar with it, or who's very adventerous.

Plus I'm adding some more stuff:

1. $15     - Allways spreadsheet publisher v 1.0 (a 123 add-in). Shrinkwrapped
box with 3.5" disks.

2. $10    - set of Lotus 123 V2.3 manuals.  Essentially the same as the one on
the LX (v2.4).  Both versions are usually mentioned in the same breath on how-to
manuals.

3. $15    - User manual and 5.25" disks for Windows 3.0 .

4. $15    - User manual and 5.25" disks for EasyCAD 1.08.  Runs in DOS and I
believe it'd run OK on the LX since it used to run on my IBM PC (8088, CGA).

5. $20    - US Atlas/Automap.  Comes on a CD ROM. Requirements are DOS 3.1 and
above with CD ROM extensions (for US Atlas) and DOS 2.2 or above for Automap.  I

Sorry, I forgot to mention this one:

e. $20    200LX serial cable

The following are still available:

 a. $10   95LX Connectivity Kit (from Nuvatech ... includes the box, cable and
software)

 b. $10   SPFPC 2.1  -  IBM mainframe editor cut down to size.  Runs on the LX
just fine, but definitely not for everyone.  (box, manual, software)

 c. $10   Stacker 4.1  - got it (used) just before flash drives went down in
price and ended up never using it (box, manual, software)

 d. $50   Zoomer (includes AMT 2400 Star modem, HP 5 mb flash card, serial cable
and software (Grafitti, Quick Shuffle card games) ) ... my first PDA.  Runs GEOS
and has lots of stuff in ROM.  No manual so this is only for someone already
familiar with it, or who's very adventerous.

Plus I'm adding some more stuff:

1. $15     - Allways spreadsheet publisher v 1.0 (a 123 add-in). Shrinkwrapped
box with 3.5" disks.

2. $10    - set of Lotus 123 V2.3 manuals.  Essentially the same as the one on
the LX (v2.4).  Both versions are usually mentioned in the same breath on how-to
manuals.

3. $15    - User manual and 5.25" disks for Windows 3.0 .

4. $15    - User manual and 5.25" disks for EasyCAD 1.08.  Runs in DOS and I
believe it'd run OK on the LX since it used to run on my IBM PC (8088, CGA).

5. $20    - US Atlas/Automap.  Comes on a CD ROM. Requirements are DOS 3.1 and
above with CD ROM extensions (for US Atlas) and DOS 2.2 or above for Automap.  I
believe this is the Automap for DOS that's been recently discussed, but never
really used it myself so I don't know this for sure.  Help for Automap shows

It all depends on if you can find a volunteer, who knows the
market and is willing to maintain the database. However I
cannot say if the American system is compatible with the German
system and if it would fit into LXTEL.

In Germany you may select most providers by predialing their
5 digit Netnumber. This is called "open call by call". You don't
have to be a registered customer. The costs for the call appear
on the account of the ex-monopoly Telekom.

There are also providers, you first have to register before you
can use them and finally you may switch completely to a new
provider (so called preselection). Then all your calls are
routed through this single provider and you no longer have to
predial it's Netnumber.

Most private households use open call by call, whereas
preselection is widespread in business.

Prices have fallen to 1/10 of what they have been 3 years ago,
and it is a real sport, to always use the cheapest provider,
especially among the ethnic german group of the Swabians,
where I belong to ;-)

Greetings, XF users -

Have any XF users installed XFCP (X-Finder for the Connectivity Pack)
yet?  Just got a CP, and wondered if anyone had tried this yet...
Should be cool to be able to run XF on both the desktop/laptop and the
palmtop.

Hello,

Every week I back up my appointment book by using Transfile.  However, this
w/e when I started the transfer I got an "Error I/O" message after receiving
186, 638 of the 234, 504 bytes.  I closed Transfile, checked my serial
cable, and started the process again.  The same error message appeared.

This is what I have tried thus far:
1. Ran GARLIC program on portion of file transferred and now I can access
file but not last two months of data
2. Copied GARLIC to palmtop and tried running, but not enough system
resources
3. Tried copying file using CONNECTIVITY PACK- more successful in that I was
able to transfer over 214,000 bytes
4. Viewed appt book file using FILER, but unable to see last two months
5. Ran DBCHECK: confirmed file is corrupted

I have read many prior posts on this mailing list and various FAQ on
different websites, but to no avail.  Is there anybody that can help?

In great appreciation,

Compuserve supports authentication but allows to use the SMTP only when
you dial in through CIS. Martin has problems with an ISP different to
CIS.

I had to do a ctrl-alt-del to get the Hplx up and running again.

Is this a known bug or is it me who gave snake to little memory.  I

Is this a new record? You can not get more points so..

From what I see using Compuserve SMTP and POP the authentication is only for the POP server, i.e. you need a user/password that is quite separate from the the CIS user/password.   The connection to the SMTP server shows no sign of authentication; indeed I suspect that is a normal feature.

One can understand the reluctance of an ISP to provide an SMTP service if there is no practical way to stop all the planet using theirs - hence the requirement to be an already-authenticated user of their dial-up service.

From what I see of Goin' Postal (and I don't use this feature) one can have a single SMTP host but many (separately authenticated) POP servers that one retrieves mail from in a single 'locale' (GP-term).  You can also have quite other 'locales'  that are other dial-ups.  So you dial up the ISP that you *do* use for SMTP, and then via their system go round all your POP mailboxes.

Sort of the reverse process to that which sounds to be the problem of this subject.

I saw the other post. The change was made in HOME.HTM
document which comes with HV.

Actually, you can simply tailor that page entirely to your
own needs. We just put it together to give some starter
page for people. I have seen many such pages customized for
the needs of the person and they look great.

In fact, I would be delighted to post on the Webpage
anyone's HOME.HTM which has general appeal to the whole
community and works with HV.

You can also change the HV.CFG like so:

Fonts

; set this to the place where your fonts reside if they are not
; in the directory where your other HV files dwell
;FontDir=a:\hv\fonts

; font files for the various elements
; use "Small", "Medium" and "Large" for the internal fonts
;Normal=hv_12n.hfn
;Bold=hv_12b.hfn
Italic=hv_12i.hfn
Fixed=smxn0608.hfn
H1=spab0016.hfn
H2=spab0015.hfn
H3=smxn0913.hfn
H4=spab0013.hfn

This is my fonts. Also you can use these fonts for
extremely tiny fonts, but shows really nice on the screen!

;--- TINY fonts Peichl
;Normal=sman0405.hfn
;Bold=sman0406.hfn
;Italic=sman0508.hfn
;Fixed=smxn0608.hfn

The following fonts are really good looking, and quite
readable, but try them in terms of size.

;--- Lucida based - Allen Galitz
;Normal=luhs13n.hfn
;Bold=luhs13b.hfn
;Italic=luhs13ni.hfn
;H1=luhs13.hfn
;H2=luhs13bi.hfn
;H3=luhs13b.hfn
;H4=luhs13i.hfn
;Fixed=luhs13t.hfn

The following is the set up for Japanese adjusted HV.

;---------- For Japanese
;Normal=medium

Does the Accton 2216-2 work as well? It has a BNC connection in addition
to RJ-45.

Karl -

The problem with the doc isn't a corrupted Word file - it's in
Japanese, and AFAIK no translation is presently available.  The program
is pretty intuitive.  Just install it like any other .EXM program in
the application manager or other launcher.  Fire it up and play around.
I don't read Japanese either, but I had it working pretty quickly.
Give it a shot  8-)

In my short time experimenting with the Psion Irda 56k modem
it appears to be a modem that the hp200lx can make really good use of.
The 200lx seems to be able to use and process the
high speeds of the 56k modem.

WWW/lx and post/lx really seemed to be written
with this technology in mind.

Once again the 200lx shows its stuff.

Are there any others out there that have used the
psion modem and did you enjoy similar results?

Martin,

here is what I posted to Steve Carder at HPHAND about two different
mailboxes for two different ISP's :

<<I am using Post/LX at send and receive E-mail through
Compuserve and would like to know how to do it from another
ISP.>>

Enclosed please find my e-mail sections in Post.cfg :

================

Mail
PopFirst=1
Alias=Electronic Mail
APOP=0
RPA=0
Timeout=60
Del=1
Sep=0
SMTP=smtp.compuserve.com
POP=pop.compuserve.com

Wrote=%s wrote:

SMTP=smtp.netway.at
POP=pop.netway.at
Special=cis cis_dial
SpecialSMTP=smtp.compuserve.com

Limit=30000
Wrote=%s wrote:
Signature=c:\wwwlx2\netsig.txt
Sets=acsnm
Login=xxxxxxxxx
Pass=xxxxxxxxxx
Template=c:\wwwlx2\netway.tpl

=============

The line Special=..... identifies if there is a special ISP used (CIS
or CIS_DIAL in one case or N, NB, N_GSM in the other case). They are
defined in www.cfg. If thats the case than POST/LX is instructed to use
the SMTP server identified in the line SpecialSMTP=.... instead of the
standard SMTP server which is defined in the line SMTP=....

Don't know if you can work around your problems with this however.

Yes, GP splits the mailbox details into a "mailhost" definition, and the
dialup details into a "locale" definition.  The smtp server information is
kept with the "locale". since most ISPs require you be dialed into them to
use their smtp server.  This allows you to determine which smtp server is
used based upon who you're dialed into.  They don't usually care what your
"from" address is, as long as you're dialed into them.

For example, assume;
   You have a personal Earthlink account you use in the US
   You have a friend in Europe with a local account you can use there
   You have a mailbox and Ethernet at work

Here you would have two "mailhosts" - your Earthlink mail and your work
mail.  Each can have a different return address, different quoting
options, different signature, different download rules.

You would have three "locales" - an Earthlink dialup using Earthlinks
SMTP, a European dialup using the European ISPs SMTP server, and an
Ethernet locale configuring via DHCP and using your works SMTP server.

No matter which from: address you are sending mail from, the current
locales smtp server is used.  I.E., when you're in Europe, the European
ISP's SMTP server will still deliver messages you've written as
"you@earthlink.net" and "you@work.com".

This works fine as long as an ISP does their security based on your source
IP address (being inside their domain) and not on what you're sending as
"from:".  This is the usual case still.

249 points on level 1???That sounds impossible,was it endurance or =
speed?cause it is only endurance we compete with.

First, thanks for the feedback about my questions concerning the pocketjet
printer conversion to IR and the simple tech cf memory card.

I came across a website that seems unique and may provide an income to
some of the experts on this list. See the site for details. Here is a
short summary:

Expertcity.com brings together a person with a computer problem and an
expert.

The person with the computer problem (PWCP) types out out a brief
statement of their problem at the expertcity.com web site.

Experts who are online and monitoring these questions from their own home,
reply if they feel they can fix the problem.

The PWCP then sees a list of potenial experts along with thier backgroud
and their dollar amount bid. They choose one of the experts.

A small piece of software is then downloaded to allow the expert to see
and control the remote computer.

The problem is addressed. If the PWCP is satisfied, paymennt is authorized.

Expertcity.com keeps $2.00 plus 15% of the fee.

Expertcity is looking for experts and also plans to expand to other
non-computer problem solving areas in the future.

I would like to know if anyone signs on and their opoinion of working this
way.

HTH,

Cliff

Do you really mean superglue? AfAIK, this is in German 'Sekundenkleber'
and this one will only provide a strong hold if you have two surfaces
to glue to each other.

What's the exact name of this UHU?
UHU plus?

Is it a two part (epoxy or acrylate) glue? This kind of glue is the
right one that you can use to only smear it around the hinges.

Hello all,

Slightly off-topic (AltaVista). Well, you can have the
search page in one kilobyte (1KB), just go to
<www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?text>

Nothing beats AltaVista in sheer power, in terms of CPU
power, bandwith on the server side and of course its wealth
of indexed webpages.
It's hard to use and often you can't find what should be
present, asit's dumb, just like any search engine. But I
find it fun and learn a lot of things by mistake while
searching for hours, literally.

One thing I sincerely regret is that News/Usenet search
ability is no longer available at AltaVista. I do not know
of any Usenet search engine now, I'd be glad to learn if
they exist. Maybe the traffic would be too high to index
near realtime.

BTW, if anyone has dongle cable for the Accton EN2212-2
(not 2216); I would buy it.

Sincerely Yours: Tamas Feher

I beleive that it does work but they are a bit more power hungry than the
other one.

On another subject, what is the situation in using one of the REX credit

Sorry it was 229. I have sent you a picture of the record(?) since I
did it again. I will download 1.1 and see if it has the same error. I

But there is a file named snake.res where the scores reside,this one you =
send to Mike and then he will put up your score on his site.

So you don't have to send real photos to confirm,however I could see the =
screen of your HP and the score anyway,it looked great.I take it you have =
a digital camera?

Concerning a bug so I think Curtis has mentioned something about that on =
his site,you can reach it through Mike's,he has a link there.


Anyhow,on level one it must take a whole evening to reach 229 points?:))

hello dear readers,

is it possible, to edit the summertime schedule in the HP200 LX World
time program? My summertime switching date for Australia seems not to
be correct.
I found also that switching the summertime to "yes" on one city is
without effect, if there is an aditional choice in the automatic field.
(e.g. Southern) I had to change this first to "none" before a click on
"Yes" had an effect.
I have a german Palmtop, maybe I did not translate the check buttons as
they are in the english version. Please forgive me...

regards,
Werner

:-)

And now Lars reveals why he has the time to get these high scores in all the
LX games: he has a lot of time waiting. Waiting for what, you ask? For the
first drops of moonshine!

"HEMBRDNNAREN" in his name refers to distilling alcohol in the home, a
popular past time in many homes in the countryside here in Scandinavia (and
elsewhere). I read somewhere that the amount of yeast sold per year in a
county here in Norway equalled the amount needed to bake one loaf (!) of
bread per day for every man, woman and child in the said county. :-)

It is also deemed illegal since it competes with the state alcohol
distribution monopoly... :-\ At least in Norway, not sure about Sweden.

And to keep an escape route open in case of flak, I am also aware of the
social implications.

But it's still there!  The syntax for a newsgroup search has changed, but
you can find it right on the search page (and, for some reason, not on the
advanced search page).  They refer to them as "Discussion Groups" and you
have to specify a search in "Messages".

Try using the following for a newsgroup search in English on the term 200LX:

Ah, I thought maybe you downloaded the data from some common site and
then massaged it for your application.

Frankly, I don't know what goes on with long distance services.  Rates
probably appear to change daily!!!! (sigh)

At least, where I live, I have selected a long distance carrier but
probably like you, we can alter that by dialing another service
manually.

But almost weekly I get calls from the other services asking me to
switch.

Then, they all have a variety of calling plans or packages and sorting
through it all gets really tedious to impossible.  So I just stick with
my carrier.

That is a VERY BIG appt file.  I don't know if you can recover but in
the future, only use garlic on a copy of the file.  If the file is still
on the hp, maybe you can find a pcmcia card and copy it there and then
to a desktop or laptop or recovery of lost data.

You might also consider using the REMOVE or ARCHIVE function to remove
older appts from the file.

Good luck.

You can use

The main page is about 16K, with turned off tables it's quite useable/use=
ful
with hv.

They luckily made their megamonster table layout a bit thinner after the

You can also make your own "main page" on your palmtop, and skip their
main page entirely. This way you can have instant power search, with
prefilled choices (like date range). My page specifies the deja classic
results. It works fine with HV. You just have to page down a couple times
to get to the content. One great thing about their new design is that
threads work again with HV.

My dejanews page is 1610 bytes, but it could be trimmed further.

Hi,

Anyone on the list that has tried the latest LXTELNET as a FTP Server?
If so, how did you succeed with the password? I have configured
everything correctly, but LXTELNET will not accept my password which is
correct.

Or maybe you have any older version which doesn't use this password
feature?

Thanks,

Jorgen

Instead of using db2csv, you could use "gdbdump", also available on SUPER.

I don't know how it compares to db2csv, never having used it (db2csv that
is), but gdbdump will output a csv file and I've used it with success a
number of times. It's a DOS program so you don't need to run it on the LX
either (although it runs fine there).

Incidentally, what does csv stand for? I can figure out the Comma
Seperated part, but what about the V? version? Vormat?

Jorgen,

You used lxpasswd.exe to create the file, right?

Then the first thing to check, in your tcp.cfg file make sure you have the
following entries:

ftpd.enable=1
ftpd.passfile=c:\xxx\passwd.cfg   where xxx is the path

At one time there was a typo in the distributed file using ftp.passfile
(no d).

The following have been sold (my wife and my desktop thank you):

e. $20    200LX serial cable
3. $15    - User manual and 5.25" disks for Windows 3.0 .
5. $20    - US Atlas/Automap CD

The following unloved items remain.  To make them sweeter, I'll sell any two
items below for the sole price of the higher priced item.

 a. $10   95LX Connectivity Kit (from Nuvatech ... includes the box, cable and
software)

 b. $10   SPFPC 2.1  -  IBM mainframe editor cut down to size.  Runs on the LX
just fine, but definitely not for everyone.  (box, manual, software)

 c. $10   Stacker 4.1  - got it (used) just before flash drives went down in
price and ended up never using it (box, manual, software)

 d. $50   Zoomer (includes AMT 2400 Star modem, HP 5 mb flash card, serial cable
and software (Grafitti, Quick Shuffle card games) ) ... my first PDA.  Runs GEOS
and has lots of stuff in ROM.  No manual so this is only for someone already
familiar with it, or who's very adventerous.

1. $15     - Allways spreadsheet publisher v 1.0 (a 123 add-in). Shrinkwrapped
box with 3.5" disks.

2. $10    - set of Lotus 123 V2.3 manuals.  Essentially the same as the one on
the LX (v2.4).  Both versions are usually mentioned in the same breath on how-to
manuals.

4. $15    - User manual and 5.25" disks for EasyCAD 1.08.  Runs in DOS and I
believe it'd run OK on the LX since it used to run on my IBM PC (8088, CGA).

Prices are in US $ and include shipping in the US only.  Non-US buyers are OK,
but be prepared for the usual delays and higher cost of shipping.

Items on 5.25" media I can't verify, since I don't have access to a 5.25" drive.
But I will guarantee to refund the cost if they don't work.

Please email me off-list if you're interested in any of the above.  Firm offers
will have priority.  Thanks.

PS - If anyone is interested in folding knives, I have a few I'm also selling
off to make drawer space.  Most are in the $30-$60 range ... expensive if you're
not into knives, but cheap if you are.  These include Spyderco, Benchmade, Boker
and Kershaw.  Email me for details if interested (off list PLEASE).

I have always used DejaNews for usenet searching - I didn't even
know there were other places.  We both learned something.  Try
www.deja.com, note that they call newsgroups "discussions".  I
always go straight to the "power search" menu.

I have a 2216-2 card and I belive that Tomas Moberg got one too. It
works very well. I have used both RJ-45 and BNC and have not gotten any
warning about the power usage. I do not know if it draws more power
than the 2216-1, but it does not draw more power than the Hp can supply.
So the only drawback is the dongle I guess. The 2216-1 dongle is
smaller.

I am very happy with the card.

Cris Lott is working on it. In his latest mail to those who have
registered an interest in the project he was optimistic. Post a
separate message about this and I am sure he will update us on the
progress.

Thanks. I will look into this. I will save it for later reference.

In the meantime it seems that Avi/Dasoft has found a solution to my
problem. I got a mail from him that I have forwarded to my
emailprovider. I talked to them and they are now working on it.. So
hopefully it will work as it should in a couple of days(weeks)..

I am not sure either. I will check it out and see if it can be used to
work around my problem.

I always knew CSV as Comma Separated Variables.

MS World Dictionary shows it as Comma Separated Values.

But "Vormat"  sounds good too <g>.

Instead of using db2csv, you could use "gdbdump", also available on SUPER.

I don't know how it compares to db2csv, never having used it (db2csv that
is), but gdbdump will output a csv file and I've used it with success a
number of times. It's a DOS program so you don't need to run it on the LX
either (although it runs fine there).

Incidentally, what does csv stand for? I can figure out the Comma
Seperated part, but what about the V? version? Vormat?

If you can transfer your file, you are in better shape than me.  Go to the
S.U.P.E.R. site and download GARLIC, if you do not already have a copy.
Transfer your corrupted file to the same folder as your GARLIC program.  Run
the program as outlined in the text file and it should work fine.

Thanks for the suggestion, F. Kauffman.  I will try to get a flash memory
card ASAP.  It's amazing that you really do not know how much you rely on
your palmtop until you lose your data...<painful> :(

I'll include the html that I use below with a few comments. Sorry for the

Save this email, and then with a text editor, trim off everything before
the <HTML> and after the </HTML> tags. To make it smaller, you can remove
unwanted options from the <select> tags. You can also omit completely some
<select> groups and the defaults will be used. Or you could change things
to just one option. For example, I really can't read anything well enough
besides English to be useful, so I could change the Language select from

   Language
   <select name="LNG" size="1">
     <option value="english" selected>English
     <option value="ALL">Any
   </select>

to just

   <input type="hidden" name="LNG" value="english">


Save your changes, then load the file into HV using Ctrl-O. (I added it
then to my hotlist.) Type in a few search words and click the button. When
you get the results, you will need to page down a couple times to see
anything at all. (Oh, turn off images.)

If anything doesn't make sense, just ask.

I have all lxtcp filles in the directory c:\lxtcp

ftpd.enable=3D1

Assuming the password was created using lxpasswd and stored in

I use it every day.

Well since the Hp crashes when I finish the game (I bite my own tail)
the snake.res does not get updated.

I may have to send this picture to Mike so I can rule at top of the
chart for a while. It was not so hard to do this. Mike if you are
listning could you put my name on top of the list on Snake? Or do I
have to send you the picture? :-)

I will go an have a look.

Yes it took me about 45 minutes or more :-)

Now I will try and beat the record on my Nokia 7110 on the game Snake
II. I will have a look at the other games that Mike keep a Hiscore list
for.

But if you have the crappy emailprovider that I got you get in to
trouble because their system is not configured right. I hope that my
emailprovider will get there act together now that Avi(I belive you

Sorry for taking so long to answer, but I found something
interesting. I saw two different 220 meg sandisk cards on
ebay go for about $250 recently.  I almost bid on one, but I
already have a 96 meg one, and what I need is a 500 meg one.
My point is that the prices *are* coming down already.
That's exciting for me.

Sandis has a 440MB which Thaddeus sells (with the Ace

$1199, I believe.

I guess I understand this interest if one really _has_ do do their work _only_ on their
200Lx, but I found the combination of a cheap libretto ($700) and a `cigarette sized' PCMCIA
disk caddy with a 4.3gb disk (<$300) to be a powerful portable combination. Clearly not quite
as portable as my 200Lx, but _huge_ storage and tolerable portability for relatively little money
and no waiting for a price drop...

Russ,
You are right #22 is hard. However, I have managed to complete it.
It took about a day and a half! (several attempts over that time,
not 36 hours solid ;-) and I saved the solution.

If you're still stuck, I can send you the solution.

Also, for anyone who may be interested, I have now
completed 2000 games of free cell in a row!

Yes, I did the same thing. The problem is not too little memory, but a
simple programming bug. When the snake eats a meal, it randomly picks
a new screen location for the next one. If the snake's body is in that
location, then it chooses another, until it finds an empty one.

When the screen is completely full of snake, there are no empty
places, so it's locked trying random screen locations. And it locks up
tight.

I think I fixed this in 1.1.

I do the same, but there's one thing to look out for. If you try going
the other way, saving an Excel spreadsheet in CSV format, and then
importing it into the LX with GDBLOAD, you'll have a problem.

Excel does not put quotes around every field, like GDBLOAD wants.
Excel only quotes the fields that have an internal comma or a line
break.

I wrote a very small program to put quotes around every field of an
Excel CSV file, so if anyone wants it, please let me know.

From what I understand, your email provider isn't your ISP.  However, your
ISP should be running an SMTP server, right?  If so, this is the SMTP
server you would be using to send any mail (both you@yourisp and
you@youremailprivider would be sent using the ISPs SMTP server while
you're dialed into the ISP).  This should work unless your ISP has no SMTP
server, or their SMTP server looks at the mail "from" address (which would
be lame).  There should be no need to talk to your email providers SMTP
server at all.

I use Win 98 SE and my Hplx with Accton En2216-2 Ethernetcard connected to my
home 5 port hub. My Win 98 is connected to the internet via a isdn
phone with a built in pcadapter.

I have set up Www/lx with the ethernet things it needs. I checked the
help files in Win 98 to see what ipadresses it gave to the machines
that were connected to the hub. I have a laptop too so I had to set the
Hplx up with another ipadress than the laptop to make them work at the
same time.

Then I just start Www/lx (with the ethernet config) by first running
Lxcic and then lxen2216.exe and then hit F5 to go online. The win98
machine connects to the internet and everything works very good.

You can probably connect the Hplx to the win 98 machine via serial and
make this work, but I do not now anything about this.

I have to disconnect the internetconnection manually because I do not
trust the Win 98 machine to disconnect after x minutes.

I surf the web on my desktop while I download mail and news on the
Hplx. I love it.

Let me know if you need more details.

my post.cfg got reformated: All empty lines (which I left there because
it's more readable for me; it's just 4200 in size) disappeared and all
comments went away.

I don't know if this has any relations to the "null pointer" error. As th=

error is not rare, I don't pay attention to it. Normally, the error has n=

further influence on my work.

Did someone have this "behaviour" (don't want to call it an error)?

Does someone use the =3De feature of post/lx to filter signatures?=20

I have=20
-- =3De=20
in my post.cfg where the ' ' is a 255 actually. This works with the
postings of this list (with ** =3De of course), but not with 'normal'
signatures which are correctly devided from the rest of the mail. It
doesn't work with

--=20
signature

but with

-- blabla
signature

--> hyphen hyphen space lf/cr does not work, just if there is at least on=
e
other character after the space.

Does anyone know if I make something wrong? I think it's a very useful
feature (if it worked) for all who suffer from useless signatures in
newsgroups.

Hi All Programmers!

I have an idea, no actually it's more of a mission. :) You have probably
heard of the freeware called VNC (Virtual Network Computing)- if not, is
the same type of program as pcANYWHERE. The major difference is that
it's free of charge and the source code is available!

For more information, go to:

http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/index.html

The most interesting thing with this software is that it has server and
client software for a wide range of operating systems- such as Unix,
Linux, DOS, NT, Win95/98, Mac etc.

So what I would find not only way cool, but also useful would be a HP
200LX version of this software. Yes, a DOS version with source code is
available- but it's for minimum 386 processor and 1MB RAM.

The problem is that I don't have the programming knowledge and
experience, necessary to port this VNC Client to 100/200LX. So I would
like to highlight this great software and then hope that we have some
programmers on this list which finds it so interesting that we can start
this project. I will assist as much as I can with my limited experience-
but I am good in testing and finding bugs! :)

Now, you maybe think that I am "crazy" and this software would not
run nicely on our palmtop PC's. My answer to that is simply- if
PalmPilot has an VNC client, it will deffinately run on our dear
100/200LX!!! Not only that, GEO's (Nokia Communicator) has even a VNC
client!!! So it would be a shame if we couldn't also have one! :)


Please take a look at this and let me know if we should start this
project. Currently I am dreaming of having a VNC client on my 200LX,
connecting to my NT Server via DOSPPP + modem and then being able to
do my internet banking on my 200LX- which otherwise requires Explorer
4.0 and all the Java etc. So since I can't install MS Explorer on my
palmtop- to use it as a thin-client is almost as good!


Looking forward to your reply.

Regards,

Jorgen Wallgren

P.S. At the above web site, go to 'Contribution' for additional clients
for different platforms.

Curtis,

     I could really use that program for putting quotes around the otherwise

:-) Done this. With a Nokia 9110 over GSM, 9600 bps. It was very slow, but
we saw and clicked the start menu button on a W95/98 pc. I run this on the
network here at work, poor man's pcAnywhere... :-) The problems I have is
that it won't transmit VGA resolutions ok and that it hangs on a fast mouse
click, but those 2 pcs are old Compaqs. Works ok on newer hardware, W98.
Faster pc is better, though. Don't use my LX for talking to other computers
much now, so didn't think of it...

Played with pcAnywhere some time ago, it was faster and more stable. But
then it costs bucks!

Some GEOS clients are 8086, would it run on them? Anybody tried the GEOS
client with the OS from New Deal Inc.? It porports to run on a 8086, IIRC.

Yes you are correct.

Yes they do. I use them now that I am at home or by other means connect
to my ISP.

Yes this works very good. My ISP has a IP check so I can use their smtp
while I am connected to their node.

I have to talk to my email providers smtp when I am connected to the
internet through the ethernet at my university. I can not use my
regular ISP's smtp because of the IP check thing. My email providers
smtp is not perfect. It check only for @mobilpost.com so it is more or
less open for spammers. They have work that needs to be done.

The university have no smtp I can use(I have not found any yet). One
advantage to use my emailproviders smtp all the time is that I no
longer have to edit the post.cfg and change smtp based on where I am.

I will look into the thing Mr. Staber posted about using "smtp 1 when
connected there and using smtp2 when connected there". But this would
be a solution that I would use only until my email providers smtp get
fixed some time soon I hope.

I thought it required VGA ?

I use it all the time, but Win95 -> WinNT.  It is very slow over dial-up, even with the colour depth turned down.   I think it uses a lot of CPU power.  You might find it hard without a pointing device, as it is very much a windows tool.   You need to think hard how useful it would be, as it will not be simple.

Well then I need to make room for you at the top of the list with me then
:-) I got a mail from Lars. He have more points than me, but have not
done the things I(you) have done (filled the screen). I will try on
another level and see if I can beat him.:-)

Okey I see.

Hmm strange I was on your site and downloaded all the games there. And
when I unpacked them some of the games was in a new version compared to
the ones I already got, but not Snake. I will take another look.

I am a long-time VNC user who has also had a 200 for and even longer time. Given my (largely
good) experience with VNC on the six different machines, varying in speed and in screen size,
that are on my personal network, I can say that I would have _no_ interest whatsoever in a
200Lx VNC client.

With all the different screen sizes and machine speeds, I consistently find that the _only_ place
I really find VNC comfortable and useful is when I can run it on a client that has a screen at
least as large as the server. Indeed, my 15.4" Dell is my favourite client, both because it is
a 500Mhz machine, and because the Server screens are available without scrolling as they are
smaller than the client screen.

This means that I am not optimistic about the real usefulness of a 200Lx client. A curiosity,
perhaps, but given the screen size (and speed) of the 200Lx I can't imagine it being of any
real use.

Quite right, Al, plus many other virtues for the 200. With 4 other portables, each used in
varying circumstances, it is still true that my 200 hasn't `gone out of my life', although I
find it used less and less for any real computing work I do, and more just for pocket
info capture and retrieval (scheduling, blood sugar records, ...).

My point _isn't_ to reflect unfavourably on the 200 in any way. My only real curiosity is with
the effort and expense that some are willing to go to to keep it operating in domains where I
would think other solutions might prove to be as or more effective. For example, $1000+ PCMCIA
cards with x00 mb of storage when whole computers with y000 mb (and not such terrible form
factors) are easily available seems like a stretch to me.

What works for me is a cheap 200 + a $1000 range super-portable. I find that combination much
more price effective and useful than a super-200 that might cost nearly the same amount of
money.

Of course, I understand that YMMV, and probably does...

Sure! I'll add your name as soon as get I chance! I'd

Hi,

There are people which are mobile and would find it useful. Screen size
I don't see as a problem since it can be solved with interesting
solutions so it's easy to move around.

Regarding, you requirements- to run VNC om a 500MHz machine, yes you
might need it if the program is written for Win32! But if a Nokia
Communicator can run a VNC client, so can 200LX.

Jorgen

P.S. If we ever get a VNC client for 200LX- I promise you that none will
force you to use it. :)

Have you tried VNC on a Nokia Communicator? If so, a report about the effectiveness and
ease of use would be of interest to me. If not, I wouldn't believe it (worked decently) until I
had seen it...

This may be off base, but it seems to me that there are two important cases:
   (1) the `server' doesn't do much graphics; and
   (2) the `server' does lots of graphics.

In case (1) there are lots of ways, much simpler and more effective than VNC, of providing the
client / server linkage, mostly doable today with good technology on the 200.

In case (2) the 200 would lose as a client, so VNC would be pointless.

I've been running X-Finder, and have also been using ZIP v2.12
to move files to/from my desktop (OS/2) system.  I have ZIP
configured to use COM4 (0x2e8).

After reading much touting here about XFS, I decided to take a
look at it.  It appears that it only runs to COM1 or COM2 ... correct?

Is there a version out that might support COM4?   Has anyone
looked at it enough to see if it is patchable ?

Would like to give it a shot to see if it is as good as everyone is saying....

I connect to my home hub. If I connect to ethernet somewhere else I use
dhcp.exe to make a ip-up.bat file which is run before Www/lx is run.
Ip-up will override the ip adresses in the Www.cfg below.

Here is my ethernetsettings from Www.cfg:

ISP_PPP3=Ethernet

It is actually 2.87K (2900+ bytes), but it is a good one. I
will change HV's HOME.HTM which is distributed to reflect
that. Good suggestion.

They aren't really the best because of their method of
indexing. You end up getting much more junk stuff than in
other search engines. They have raw power, but who has the
patience and energy and time to wade through 52,000 + hits
for a simple inquiry which finds EVERY place where that
simple word is mentioned?

What is needed is smarter engines that will understand more
what you _want_ to look for and get it for you. Just raw
power is not the best in this case.

If I recall, it was your specific and strongly worded
requirement that we implemented last October-November 1999,
while we were in the train returning from the user group
meeting in M=FCnchen. No one else mentioned this before and
it was specifically for you that this feature was added.
You sent a thank you note after that.

I guess this is not good, eh? :-)=20

You recall absolutely right. The new feature (which was actually mentione=
d
in the docs _before_ I wrote you) worked with the list-signature. I wrote
to you because the feature was described in the docs (not described
actually, but mentioned - 18th help message) and because I thought
that there is a wrong behaviour in post/lx to "clean" all the 32-blanks.
The reason why I didn't told you that it still didn't work properly was
because after my first enthusiasm about having the news on the palmtop I
changed back to the desktop, as post/lx is not efficient enough for the
load of news I have (~ 3500 average a day, not readable without 'advanced=
'
filtering). Now I went on holiday and at the same time my desktop crashed
(and is still dead), so I had to go back to the palmtop (where I always
read the list.hplx, and the ** =3De did a good job there). So it got back=
 to
my mind, and I thought maybe someone knows the trick to filter anything
after -- <cr>. That's the story of my life ;-)

> I guess this is not good, eh? :-)=20

Ehm, sorry, don't understand what you mean here.

Hello,
        Was wondering if anyone is knowledgeable in this area?  I opened
up my 2MB 200LX and found 4pc KM416V256ALLTR-8 which are 256K x 16 bit,
which turned out to be .5MB.  It would be neat if I can find some 1M X 16
bit chips with the same TSOP II package which makes 2MB per chip.  That
means I can just desolder the old chips from the board and prop the new
ones in and viola, I now have an 8MB 200LX.  What do you guys think?
Anyone have any experience on what chips to use?

Would like to hear from you.....Richard

There was a discussion some months ago about the interpretation
of these lines. I do not have it handyt, but as a consequence
I changed the file as follows:

Europ.
3:25-31  6 1:00
10:24-30 6 0:00 <<<
Norden
4:1-7    6 1:00
10:25-31 6 0:00
S den
3:1-7    6 0:00
10:25-31 6 1:00
Test
3:25-31  6 1:00
10:24-30 6 0:00

Note the summertime ending line marked <<<. This line needed to
be changed to be correct.

Hi Alan,

You wrote:

>unquoted fields.  This is a problem I always have to work around.

Here is the CSVQUOTE.EXE program. It's a DOS filter, which means that
it takes standard input and sends its output to standard out. So if
you have an Excel-generated CSV file (without quotes around all the
fields) called MYFILE.CSV, you'll do this:

  csvquote < myfile.csv > myfile2.csv

This runs the CSVQUOTE program, telling it to get its data from the
file MYFILE.CSV, and to save its output in the file MYFILE2.CSV.

There's one caveat - I don't believe that this program will handle
records that span multiple lines. An Excel CSV file can do this, as
long as the field is in quotes, but this program needs each record to
be all on one line.

Good luck,

Curtis Cameron

My intention is not to use it for lots of work and long time connection-
but for quick but important stuff. Yes, 9600 bps will of course make it
slow. Then it's a fact that 200LX is more powerful than a Nokia
Communicator- so I am sure it would be possible to do this for 100/22lx-
But the code would of require some serious adjustments and brilliant
solutions, in order to work fine.

Yes, pcAnywhere is good. But as far as I know, version 4.5 is the last
version to run on 100/200LX- but it only supports a modem connection.

IIRC.

Actually, New Deal Inc. has stated that the minimum requirements is an
286 processor- but it runs fine on the 200LX (much better than Windows
3.0!). I downloaded their evaluation copy and I have to figure out if I
can get an ethernet support. I have already installed the VNC client,
but as I mentioned- must get the connectivity in place before I can try
it out. I preffer SysMgr and DOS- but New Deal 3.x is rather cool when
it runs on the palmtop!

Regards,

Jorgen

Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2000 16:48:29 GMT

Completely NEW and UNOPENED upgrade kit purchased from Mack Bagette's
company - Times2Tech.
The HP200LX TechRAM 4MB Memory Upgrades are designed to increase the
internal drive space of the 200LX to a total of 5MBs for older 1MB or 2MB
200LXs, or 6MBs for newer 2MB or 4MB 200LXs. Asking $75.00 Canadian plus
P&H.  Included in the package:

TechRAM memory board
Memory board connector
EMM Driver
Torx bit
Documenation

For more information about this product please check out Mack Bagette's
website at:

http://www.times2tech.com/techram.html

I recently purchased the TechSpeed kit from Times2Tech but received (and was
billed for) BOTH the TechSpeed AND TechRAM kits.  I purchased and
successfully installed a TechRAM kit a couple of years ago, so I have no
need for another TechRAM kit.

Although Times2Tech are willing to take this kit back for credit, I would
prefer to sell this to someone in Canada and avoid the hassle and cost of
P&H to US, Customs, GST, and Canada-US exchange rate.

Anyone interested please e-mail me directly at: ddutrizac@ns.sympatico.ca

I have a related question.  I have a stock 4 meg HPLX, 2meg on

2 memory chips with empty solder pads for 2 more memory chips.  Anyone
have a source for these memory chips so I can add 2 more and up my total

I've found a new game on the Palm and hopefully there's a version
for the 200lx, or if not, someone should make one real quick.  It
would be a simple game to make.

It's called "Lines".  You just move objects around on a grid,
wherever you like, and when you line up 5 similar objects they
disappear.  But every turn, 3 more objects are placed in random
parts of the screen.  So it gets fuller and harder to find ways to
move objects around.  They can move anywhere going left, right, up
and down, as long as they aren't obstructed.

It's as simple to play as tetris, and just as hard to play well.
Unlike tetris there's no time pressure.  I think it's the best game
since Tetris.

If anyone knows of a version for the 200lx, please post the url
here.  If anyone is planning to write one, please post that here.
If no-one does either, I might write one.

By the way, this could be done as easilly in Basic as in C.  Speed
isn't part of it.

If anyone is interested in seeing it there's a nice Java
implementation at

Depending on size, less than around 200megs, you do not need anything
special.  Usually, they do not have to be formatted but just work.  And
even if you eventually do have to format it, don't bother with the /s.
The system files and boot process is in rom. In order to boot from it,
the HP200 just needs to find config.sys on the root of the card and
autoexec.bat if you want it.

I've seen DOS versions long ago, I'm sure a web search can find them
easily.

Probably not very hard to write, but I've seen some versions
that get fooled by more complex patterns and won't let you move a
piece eventhough it is possible.

It's been on the Vector site since XFr10 came out (Japanese docs), and =
now
also on the SUPER new stuff page. (English & Japanese docs).

I'll be interested in hearing how it works for you.

No, I'm not SURE.  As I wrote, I THINK it's correct.  Don't know of an
internet site with this info.  I used info that was posted on this list
several months ago.  Also check out Norbert's post with a correction

Subject:      Slideshow presentation from the HPLX
MIME-Version: 1.0

All,

Do you know a Graphic package which can run on the LX (i.e. Not Powerpoint 97)
and then export the slides in JPG format (directly or via a converter like
CGM2JPG or PCX2JPG).

Datashow projectors are now the standard for business presentations. Having a
way to quickly make a slide on the LX and present it would be cool.
The LX has no VGA output but my pocket DIGITAL CAMERA has a video output
which I can connect to the Datashow projector.

The idea is :
 - make the slide (mostly text) on the LX
 - save it as JPG file on my CF card
 - take the CF card from the LX to the Digital Camera
 - display the slide from the Camera on the DataShow

I tried Harvard Graphics 2.3 but it does not export to JPG format.
In the distant past I have used Freelance for DOS on a 8086 PC to generate
presentations but I have misplaced the disks and don't know if it can export
to JPG files.


All suggestions are welcome.

Hi There!

Just tried to install Commander Keen 6 for CGA screen on my 200LX. Runs

Well, I've had fun playing with my Visor; however I've quickly
outgrown the 2 meg model and found that the 8 meg memory add-on
wasn't the panacea I'd hoped.  So, unitl I can afford an 8 meg model
I'm going back to my trusty LX.

Offering the following:

Visor - 2 meg Standard; $150 list - 3 months old in great condition

serial cradle - $30 list

8 meg Springboard memory module - $80 list - 1 month old (warning -
buy rechargable batteries if you are going to use it much!)

1 registered copy of iSilo - $12

a $25 leather Palm-brand case (modified to hold Visor)

a 14.99 Palm User book with cd-rom (optional - it'll add $ to
postage)

 (I even have some Peanut Press books I can throw in, also)

I didn't add in what the shipping cost me on these items but if you
add that in was about $30 since the items were purchased separately.

Asking $235 ($USD) plus actual shipping for US/Canada.  $275
($USD) plus actual shipping to an international address.  (Obviously
I don't like the hassles of shipping overseas.)

I can accept PayPal in the US; Money orders in US Dollars elsewhere.

I will consider selling the memory board separately if I don't get
any offers on the whole package but selling them all together would
be my first choice.

     It's not clear what you are looking for by way of a HP PDA simulation.
Do you mean software that uses the 200LX's files for the calendar,
phonebook, calculator, and database functions?  If so, there are some pieces
of software available for that:

- The Hewlett-Packard 200LX Connectivity Pack
- The OmniBook 600 software for Windows (originally available on
CompuServe's HPhand forum)
- GDBWIN, found on S.U.P.E.R (I believe)

I am unclear what you mean by `a HP PDA simulation'. I take it that you do _not_
mean the facilities available in the connectivity pack.

If you explain what it is you want a little more clearly, I'm sure some here (me,
in particular) would be happy to comment.

Hello fellow LXers!

I still have a few AC adapters and Connectivity Kits left from a purchases I
made from a liquidator a few months ago, as well as a few Casio Cassiopeia A-11
(upgraded to 6MB/WinCE 2.0). All items are in excellent condition. My guess is
that they never were really used at all. For the HP items price, I'm thinking
about half of what Thaddeus charges. For the Casio, something like 100$ (and I
have connectivity kits for those too).

Let me know if interested!

Thanks!

I do not know what Redmond is..Have heard it somewhere, but can't
remember. Some place very secure..:-)

My university has both NT servers for students and also Linux servers
run by students. But I would like to solve this problem by not getting
yet another smtp server to put in the post.cfg.

I have talked to my emailprovider now and they are working on a new
smtp modul for their NT servers so I can use their smtp server again
without problems.

When you're being asked to spend umpteen hours on a free project

I've done a web search and didn't find a copy.  I haven't checked
the 200lx sites yet.

 I've never done anything that needed that kind of search algorithm
before but while driving today I decided how to do it.  Basically a
recursive routine to check any the 4 directions that it could go in,
and then call itself from each to do the same thing,  should be
guaranteed to find a path if it exists.  I'm not sure I'm correct
and I'd have to think this through much more carefully before I
tried to code it.  But it seems that this should work.

Actually, this is the part that makes me want to write it.  Just
because I've never had to solve this problem before.  I've already
put it on my list of things to get to.

Thanks.  That looks like the game based on the screenshot.  I just
downloaded it.  I haven't tried this version yet.

If it's it, it's a game to take a look at.  This is one of the best
games I've seen in a while.  The Russians have done it again!

OK, so now we have lines, I'd really like to know if there's
a DOS (or any PC-compatible) version of a Palm game called
SF Cave. The idea is to guide a flying snake-like thing
through a narrow cave filled with obstacles. Like all the
best games, it's simple to play, but hard to master. And of
course horribly addictive, as well.

Could someone explain to me what happened to my accents? Did
anyone actually get the correct characters? Do accents and
other symbols only work with MIME encoding enabled?

Has anyone signed up for the Palmtop.com email service that uses cc:mail?

I tried it a few times and was wondering if anyone paid the $60
registration.  And how reliable has it been?

I haven't bothered to check my data books yet to see if there's such a
configuration.  But what's equally important is: does the 200LX bring out
the address lines necessary to drive 1M x 16 chips?  The pinout may be
identical to the 256K x 16s, but if you don't have the additional two
address lines connected, those new address pins are just going to be
hanging there useless.  Of course it still might be possible, but you'd be
looking at tying in a couple of additional lines along with just replacing
the packages.

 This is probably a question for Mack, eh?

I'll be interested in hearing the consensus on this one!

The "old" ibm network?  I believe that one of the folks uses www/lx to
dial in.

I use www/lx with attworldnet and cis. I am using it and AT&T to log into

"beta-testing" is completed and it sounds like i'm going to upload v.1 :)

the jury has delivered its verdict:

"It's very funny.  I liked the "continental humor".  You could be the "Dave
Barry" of France (a satirical columnist in the US)."

"I think your database and doc of France are, indeed, "ready for primetime"
although you might want to put a rating on it, like we do for movies, games,
etc. here in America.  I would recommend an "R" (restricted, no one under 17
years of age without parental supervision) rating, maybe even an "NC-17" (no
children at all, no one under 17, period). It is certainly entertaining and
interesting, from a cultural point of view; but a little to raunchy and
"risque" for this Mormon boy.  But it is definitely funny and highly useful.
The dictionary is priceless!"
The .ndb is obviously American, and quite offensive to a French
person, I would have thought. Amusing nevertheless.

"Unfortunately, my version of Word (Word 97) was unable to display any of
the special characters in the dictionary file...I could still read the
definitions of the words, and these were most educational ;-)"

"I thought your essay was very funny!  Some of the stuff I already knew, but
some of the terms were indeed new to me.  Talk about stereotypes! That memo
file was full of them"

"love it! quite funny, and i'm even learning some! go ahead and put it on

Yes, I did, and it works very well, especially with the built-in cc:mail.
My problem, that I cannot use my own domain (business), and I have ended up
with 3 different e-mail addresses (pretty confusing):
hartleb@iaptusa.com (business)
hartleb@palmtop.com (when away from the office)
hartleb@aol.com (private)
I wish I could change from domain palmtop to domain iaptusa .
That would make my life much easier.

Hello

I tried to send a SMS free on the net with the LX but it didn't work.

I got the message:

I think it was the proxy server. If you start downloading a file and
abort after some time, it may be that the proxy server continues the
download (depends on the settings of the server, not your client).
So if you do it otherwise (first try with HV, after some time with
another browser) the experience could be different.

Of course, HV does surely ignore some crap that is not needed.

I once saw a software or something to let a file be sent to you
via mail. Because your mail connection is usually the fastest one,
you can receive a file much faster than to download it from a
far-away-server.

There was a service/website that did this once upon a time, called agora I
think. I seem to have heard that it disappeared a few years ago. I used to
use it when I had a shell account and a 14.4 modem. I couldn't get it to
work for some time and then it slipped my mind. You sent it an email with
the url and it sent the file as an email. The problem is is that many people
'hide' files behind cgi-scripts or to thwart (site-)downloaders like
GetRight. Any new service like agora?

Also, for some or other reason I find Mdeamon (email server) can dl faster
and larger files than using IE5. JFTR.

Need to convert your old compuserve address book to a csv format for import
into a new email program? There's a clunky but workable program in a zip
file on compuserve. addbkall.zip. go filefinder. It works.

I've used it probably 30 times total and it worked fine.  I think the
service is worth registering, except that I have found that I just don't
do much emailing on the LX, with so many desktop machines readily
available to me (the 30 usages is over about three years).

Hope this helps.

Correct, assuming you don't already run some other funky utilities that
configure your system (ie LXSTAT) to alkaline.

Once you get going with NiMH, you may want to look at some of the battery
charging utilities out there to make the charging process more painless.  This
need will become more apparent once you notice that you have to recharge a lot
more often than when you had to replace the alkalines.

I use ABC/LX as my recharging utility, but there are others.

Also, the 1500 cells you have may require more charge time than the built-in
charging cycle allows for, and may not get a full charge ... another reason to
consider a utility (unless you're planning to charge them externally).

I have a company-issued laptop running Windows 95 :-( with
a dual PC card slot.  The bottom half of the slot holds a modem
and the top half holds a network card.  I was delighted to
learn that I could remove the network card when not at work
and insert a Sandisk card from my 200LX and thus copy files
betwixt the two.

But I eventually learned that this would only work for awhile
before I had to reboot windows in order to read the card again.
(The "PC Card" manager in the Control Panel knew it was there,
but Explorer and the DOS prompt could not see it--it was not
mapped to a drive.)  "Stopping" it and reinserting did not
change anything.

Worst of all, now it never works, not even after I reboot.
It's there; it just won't map to a drive.

Does anyone have an idea what I need to do to correct this?

TIA, George

I wouldn't be presumptious enough to try to explain the behavior you report. And I have
been living mostly in WinNT, Win98 and Win2K lately so my memories of Win95 may be a bit
dim. So take this advice with a grain of salt...

In such circumstances my normal response is to use the `Device Manager' or its equivalent
to remove the device in question, thus allowing Windows to `rediscover it' at the next
boot. In most circumstances, Plug-and-Pray seems to find the device and restablish proper
connections to it.

I have also noticed, on some occasions, slightly different treatment by Windows when the
device is actually discovered _at_ boot time from when the device is later inserted. Again,
I can't tell you which is right for your circumstances, but perhaps experimentation would
tell you.

I sum I'd:
   (1) remove the device;
   (2) reboot without the card;
   (3) insert the card.

If this works, fine. If not, I'd then.
   (4) remove the card;
   (5) shutdown;
   (6) insert the card; and
   (7) reboot.

Good luck.

I use a Toshiba laptop with double slot -- Ethernet card to cable modem
in bottom and 20mb Sandisk
in top.  It is automatically assigned as E:>.  On the card is Turbo
Pascal 5.5, CDC/WHO EpiInfo 6.04c in
its entirety, many other biostatistical and other routines--some 18mb
worth.  I regularly use it between my
DS HP200LX by using the assign a=e function in my config.sys.  To date
I've never encountered the

I'm groping around Win95 also, but my 800CT notebook's two slots are configured
differently ... maybe yours also?  On my 800CT, cards that worked in one slot
didn't work in the other.

As a test, you might try the Sandisk card in the bottom slot (where the modem
is).

Win95 veterans can probably offer more pointed advice, but PC card
insertion/removals (especially modem and network cards) always seemed a
traumatic event on my Win95 machine.

As a result, I keep a modem/network combo card in one of my slots and the other
one is open for the flash card file swaps such as you're doing (or trying).
Sandisk gives me the least trouble of all the flash cards.

I just bought an 85meg Sandisk from Ebay not too long ago.  I rec'd it and
it doesn't work in the 200lx.

Everything that I've ever heard from the 200lx list says these should work
with no special considerations.

It claims it's "Not ready reading drive A    Abort, Retry, Fail?"
  -a Retry results in a loop
  -an Abort/Fail or Fail/Abort sequence results in Invalid A: Drive,

"format A:"  results in the message,
   "Format not supported on drive A:   Format terminated."


There should be no reason why a good Sandisk 85MB would not work with the
LX right?

Any ideas?

I have a Sandisk 96MB CF card and it works fine. Try it in a laptop and/or
camera. Maybe the card is defective

Maybe you need to initialize the card before you format it. I think that
the program is FDISK100. Bryan

In case it's not in your search path, the program is d:\bin\fdisk100.exe

This usually does the trick.

I have had this problem several times. Some may recall my
problems with some CF disks a couple of years ago. Brand
new, worked fine in my thinkpad. Would do nothing in my
200lx.  Same thing with some sandisk pcmcia flash cards.
Even with an HP branded card! After some time we got the
cards to work.  I found I needed to do several things.

1) Replace backup battery.
2) disable battery charging.
3) Replace rechargeable batteries (often 1.25v) with regular
alkaline (1.5v).
4) Reboot.

At the time Mack suggested I might have a defect in my
machine's power system. (things break when you drop 'em!) I
don't know but I acting on the assumption that he is be
right.  If it is a defect you might have the same defect.

Longden,

Ok, I ran the program from d:/bin where it resides.  My screen blanked and
in order to get the palmtop back I had to reboot.   My data on C: was not
affected and neither was A:

On the 2nd try, it appears to have worked. I was able to change to C: and
then to run the format program.  It's now happily formatting at 7% done,
and I assume it will complete without incident.  Once again, thanks
Longden, and the rest of you on the 200LX list for your unparalleled
assistance!

This has been my experience as well, that you can never boot a Win95 machine too
often.

I say that in half-jest, but it seems that a lot of setup and configuration
stuff is left half-done during a shutdown and most (not always all) of it gets
picked up during the re-boot ... and warm vs cold boot sometimes makes a big
difference, especially with hardware detection.

Whenever I plan to add/configure new hardware or software on my Win95 machine, I
usually allot plenty of time for the installation and mulitple reboots.

Of course, swapping in a flash card shouldn't require all this pain, but
Patrick's suggestion may be necessary to get back to a clean configuration.
Good luck.

My experiences have been with an Omnibook 400ct. I have had no trouble
inserting and removing cards. I follow the following rules:
1) Close any Explorer windows or applications that have the card open.
Suspend the laptop. Remove the card.
2) To insert a card, insert the card either while powered off or
suspended. The initialization done to the desktop after a suspend will
refresh the connection properly.

I have had no trouble with my modem card, a variety of HP Sandisk cards
or PCMCIA hard disks.

David Peterson

PS I am findinf the Omnibook 600 to behave a little differently, but it
is only running Windows 3.11.

Definitely, the 200LX! The built in terminal emulator is pretty good but you
also have the choice of all the great DOS-based termulators that have been
written (procomm, telix, etc.). I've used my 200/datacomm to configure
Cisco, Ascend, Kentrox, Bay, Synoptics and probably some I can't remember.

This is all you need to be a telecom/networking equipment road warrior:
200lx (or 100lx?)
200lx serial cable
9pin gender changer
9pin null modem adapter
specific cables for equipment

Optional Good stuff:
accton card
ip stack + utils (ping, telnet, ftp, etc.)
Lan Analyzer software

I'm still using my IBM.Net account which is supposed to be the same
thing as the att global net.  I need to convert over before October when
IBM.Net finally goes away.

I used it a bit, even paid the $60.  I fially quit using it because of
hangs/crashes (can't remember which).  The problems were with cc:mail on
my LX, I didn't have any problem with the service.

I guess I should back and try it again.

CardWizard from SystemSoft is built into Win98.  Cardwizard or IBM's
pcinit.exe
were use in earlier instruments using PCMCIA.

 See  also:  http://basterfield.com/pc110/ATAinit.htm

Most of todays cards, including SandDisk, are pre initialized and
formatted
and generally work right from the box.

Huh!  Well, after the card finished formatting, my LX went to shut down
mode!  Turning it on once again caused the the LX to exit from 'data save
mode' (same as when you take the batteries out).  I went through several
more unsuccessful attempts at running fdisk/format on the card and it
would usually (but not always) shut down at some point.  Also the
card, though it could be changed to as a drive, would tell me that
writing or making directories on it was an 'illegal operation'.

Then I looked again over the responses to my post again.  The one by
Patrick West looked interesting, and something clicked when I realized I
was gettting the same response as when you just take the batteries out
(when the LX is running!)  It usually comes back on with this 'exiting
data preservation mode' (or whatever...wording not exact here) when you do
this.  This was the same response I was getting to formatting the card.
So suddenly Patrick's post seemed to make some sense.

Especially since I am using NiCD's (not NiMH at the moment) it made sense
that there might be a power-draw problem.    Well, I've been pretty happy
with the power draw characteristics of my LX so far so I'm not convinced
there is any defect per se, but it has become evident that at some
point during the fdisk/format cycle the card draws quite a chunk of
power, even if only for a fraction of a second.

The solution (after some of you helped me to re-discover fdisk and format,
thanks!) was to simply plug in the AC adapter (with charge mode off, as I
usually use my LX)  This time the responses of fdisk/format seemed totally
normal (with no shut-down) (and as I remember them from DOS even!).  Now I
have removed the LX from the adapter, and the card appears to function
normally.  I have created/removed directories, etc, so now FINALLY, I
think PROBLEM SOLVED!  THANKS AGAIN to ALL of you who posted; if it had
been just me and that card it would have been back in the mail by now to
the seller!  Happily, it's not! :)

It appears you are correct (not that I suspected anything different and
I live just across the Lake, more or less from the Evil Empire).

Being inspired by this thread, I decided to back up my 40meg A: HP's hd
to a laptop.  It beeped.  But there was no e: drive but a Yellow
Exclamation Point in Devices.  There was a cryptic W: drive which would
not allow access.

A bit of playing and Property searches and opening and closing resulted
in NO "A:" drive from the HP.  It is a 40meg Older Sandisk.

I SHUTDOWN Win98.  Restarted and there's the card and it backed up in
the time I typed this message.  Yup, a swift 36megs were copied.

THANKS for this discussion.

Oh, were you trying fdisk and format on battery power?  That's a large
card and formatting does a lot of writing - trying it on battery power
alone.

I signed on a year or two back.  It took a bit of fumbling around to come
up with a modem initialization string that worked properly.  I haven't used
the service a great deal since it's a long distance call, but for the use I
*have* made of it, it's been quite reliable.

Hmmm.  My machine didn't come with the Connectivity Pack, I've never
seen it in action - so, I haven't played with it yet.  Perhaps I should
buy a copy and play.  <G>  I saw Alan S's post as well, I haven't looked
at GDBWin yet, but will go take a look.  Thanks, both of you!

What I'd like is, when I come home, to plug the 200LX into the LAN
(W/Accton Net Card) next to the front door, then be able to edit the
phone book, appointments, etc. from any machine on the LAN here - have
backup run on one machine (manually fire a batch file there, probably),
and so on.

More computers than room here, I end up carrying 2-4 palmtops from room
to room sometimes, gets rather old.

Hmmm,

The way I see it you have 3 options. The Connectivity Pack is a DOS app
and I have no idea how it work work on a network.
Have to buy that.

The Windows version of the HP Phonebook and appointment book is another
get it free at http://www.palmtop.net/anonftp/pub/hppim.zip again no
idea how it would work on a network. It does have merge and extract
features.

Or you could use the Netscape Enterprise Calendar version 4.6 also free.
It can import from a hp200lx appointment book file on disk and export to
a hp200lx appointment book file on disk. Designed for networks but I
haven't used it much so...

If you use the HP Windows PIMs you could hookup to the network and have
all machines see the file on the palmtops drive or you could copy it to
a central location.

Folks,

Does anyone have a copy of the old Intellilink product they would trade
for the Intellisync? Or sell outright?

I'm assuming the old Intellilink program works like the free Lotus
Organizer version in that it can also work with a saved file on disk.

If I could get Intellisync to do that I wouldn't care about being able
to link through a cable.
I bought my copy at Frye's way back when I first got my palmtop.
Couldn't get it to work but figured it was my fault.

I dug it out recently and tried to get it to work. Was able to get it to
install the "remote server program" on the 200lx but after that nothing.

I can link using act2 or Act3 or TransFile but not the Intellisync
program.

I've never had to format a Sandisk card to use it with my 200lx or

That would be a nice piece of software on the hp200lx.

Does WP Presentation work on a hp200lx (80-186)?

Does it work on your hp200lx?

have a source for these memory chips so I can add 2 more and up my total

And I am talking also about so called HV friendly sites like Curtis =

The links open and the downloading starts but gets interrupted by this =

Is there something to do about it?

Good question. another one is can it work all right without
a mouse?
I briefly played with DrawPerfect on my palmtop but it was
almost unusable without the mouse.

I am sure about the interpretation of the TIMEZONE.DAT records,
but I was wrong about the change applied. Sorry for this.

Sommer time end for Europe changed from last sunday of September
to last sunday of October, so the original record in D:\_SYS

9:24-30 6 0:00

should be changed in C:\_DAT to

10:25-31 6 0:00

because the last sunday in October can be from day 25 to day 31.

Again, sorry for any confusion.

Norbert

No, it cannot be the proxy server. I have no proxy setting
activated, not in IE, not in Opera and not in WWW/LX. It must
be something different. Once I thought, I understood what proxy
means, and that it should usually speed up downloads, but
because it was often the other way round, I removed all my
proxy settings. Now I should always get the original file from
the original site.

I don't think, it's HV, but WWW/LX. HV only displays already
downloaded html pages.

Anthony, it is too thick to fit in the slot. It might draw too much
power too, IIRC the specs would be close. Bryan

Yes, I have a VNC client under New Deal 3.1 (or what it was). The
problem I have is that I have to figure out how to dial in to my office
and then login manually. Or how to connect directly to my network using
my Accton card- then I should be able to try it out.

I wish this were true, but something in WWW/LX, POST/LX and/or
PALRUN locks up my OB 800CT (Win95b) and even changes the CMOS

Subject:      Lotus 123 and printing on HP LaserJet IIIP
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Greetings LX'ers,

Has anyone successfully printed a 123 spreadsheet directly from the 200LX
to an HP LaserJet IIIP using serial communications?  I've been extremely
vexed over the past week trying to print out a simple spreadsheet (50
rows, 11 columns).  A sampling of the errors include: the header is
invariably put in the middle of the spreadsheet data; I get a "40 ERROR"
on my LJ display; the rightmost 2 columns come out on one sheet in pica
font (10cpm), a smidgeon of the other data comes out in elite font
(12cpm).

Current LJ settings are: BAUDRATE 19200, ROBUST XON on, DTRPOLAR high.
Page settings are: 66 lines per page.
I've checked the printer settings under 200LX "Setup"; baud rate is set
to 19200, printer is HP LaserJet, and port is COM1.
I'm currently sending no setup string to the printer via 123.
I reset all margins to 0 (right margin at 240).

My machine is a 4Mb 200LX, no doublespeed, no PCMCIA card, running off
batteries (I don't have the AC adapter).

I've checked the HPLX-L archives under various combinations and
permutations of "lotus print laserjet" to no avail.

Any help is appreciated,

Bryan Wu

Cool. I am not sure the Ruputer is availible here in Europe yet. I have
seen some articles about it, but not seen it in the shops yet. How is
it? Could you write a short review of its features?

In a related printing question:

I have text that is "much" longer than the column widths in my 123
spreadsheet.  How can I print the spreadsheet so that all the data in each
column is printed, (preferably in multiple lines per column to maintain the
column widths?  It would not be practical to enlarge the columns to make all
the data appear on screen.

Try looking at /ppomr (print printer options margins right). Set right
margin up to 240 characters. The left can also be changed to zero to
squeeze in a couple more characters.

For the HPLJIII, I would try a desktop version of Lotus and work out the
bugs/parameters, then plug in the LX.

YES!! I started on one of those in 1973 as a freshman in high
school.  It used 80 column punchcards and had a
typewriter/printer with keyboard for interactive access.  My
class mate wrote a great blackjack program in machine language
to use this typewriter interface.

In the early '80s, my employer did millions of dollars of
customer billing on a pair of Appe e computers with some
Applesoft BASIC programs I wrote.  It had a Corvalis 10MB hard
disk that cost $5500 at the time.  The HD backup was done onto
a regular VHS VCR through a special interface from Corvalis.
And the reports came out on that great Imagewriter printer.

Subject:      Flashdisk damaging HP LX!
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi friends!

I bought 2 HP 200 LX including connectivity cable and a Sundisk 5MB/12V
Flashdisk from HP. It is a F1012A (SDP-5). I inserted the disk into one of
the 200LX and checked the installed software. There is a stacker driver
which makes 10MB of the 5.

I wanted to give this disk to a friend, because I have already a Viking 32MB
CompactFlash Disk which works without any problem. My friend has a 700 LX
which is software compatible to the 200LX. The chip seems to be different,
some things like e.g. the EMM200 driver won't run in the 700LX. I inserted
the Sundisk and copied the stacker.com to the c-drive. The config.sys has
the line:

device=c:\stacker.com /p=0 a: b:

This is exactly the same as in the origin 200LX where it ran without any
problem. When I restarted the 700LX it recognized the new A:-Drive without
problem. I started a built-in app (Memo) and wanted to open a file on C:\.
Suddenly it began to beep and the screen was frozen. I had to do a
Hardreboot with Ctrl-Shift-On. I removed the Sundisk and the device line
from config.sys. Now the LX ALWAYS begins to beep after some seconds and the
screen freezes. Sometimes there is written "Divide error" on the top left.

Did this Sundisk damage the 700 LX?

Could it be a virus? If yes, why didn't it damage the 200 LX?

Hi all,

when typing POST/LX messages with PE, letter "c" on my HP
200LX fails, Capital "C" works, though. I have to type the
small "c" via number code (ALT+MENU+099) which is very
cumbersome. In MEMO the small c behaves normally.

What is going on ?

Thanks and regards

Hi Albert,
I am interested in your Intellisync program. Have you been able to make it
work on the 200Lx. I have received only negative email on the subject.
Please let me know your experience with it.
Thanks, Frank.

The refresh timing is sporadic, so memory refresh fails or at best is
very volatile.

As I wrote in a recent message, LXTEL is a least cost router
for the German telephone system. But I found out, that four
other European countries also allow cheap calls. Maybe their
system is similar to the German one, and LXTEL can be used for
these countries too. But it still needs a volunteer for each
country to build and maintain the country specific database.
Information about cheap calls can be found under:

Austria:
http://www.comparatel.at

France:
http://www.comparatel.fr

Italy:

Swiss:

You find LXTEL on my homepage:

Hi Ole,

see my home page http://daniel.hplx.net . There are pinouts of the
serial port and instructions to make plugs for the serial port.

I used such a plug to connect a mouse to my 200LX. With a 100LX it
should be possible the same way.

Did you try the common procedure: remove all batteries for a while,
insert them again, and try to use the 700LX without the card?

This could exclude the possibility of a damage.

Not an explanation of the problem, but maybe another way to find out
what's going on there.

The early spreadsheets didnt allow multi-line cells.  There's really
no way to do that in Lotus 123 v2.4.  I'd suggest importing it into
a current version of Lotus or into Excel and formatting it the way
you want there.  Both programs will allow multi-line cells.

I started a little later than that, at a computer school.  The
school had an IBM 360-20 with no console and 8k magnetic core and a
2 meg drive.  There was a card reader and a printer.

Four of the teachers were formerly at RCA and had helped write the
first virtual memory os, and they modified this os to swap to disk.
All the rest of the teachers were trying to figure out what was
going on.  How could you run 15k programs in an 8k computer with an
os taking up part of that?

The languages were assembly (ALC) and RPG (a cut down version).  We
learned those and Cobol but had to send the Cobol out to be
compiled.  They made it a point to teach assembly first on the
theory that you'd then know how the other languages did what they
did.  It was a great way to learn.

Did this Sundisk damage the 700 LX?

I haven't used the 700lx so there might be factors I don't know
about, but I'd be really surprised if that card or Stacker harmed
the 700lx.

It's possible that the batteries couldn't handle the draw and
something was corrupted, possibly even on the C: drive.  I think I'd
clear the memory and see if it works ok then.  I hope you have a
recent backup.

This prompted me to download hppim.zip - not for a network - but to see if it
would be an improvement on the CPACK200 on the desktop. But after loading my
pdb and gdb files into the same directory,  it won't work. I noticed when I
clicked on Phone.exe, the resulting screen was titled Phone1, so I changed
the name to phone1. Same result - nothing.

There was no readme or doc file with the download. Any help out there,
please?

Richard.

As you might know, the Siemens S25 mobile phone is capable of
V.110 ISDN. If your GSM provider and your internet provider
both support V.110 ISDN, you can use this S25 feature. The
advantage over a modem connection is the immediate CONNECT.
This saves roughly 10-15 seconds during login. It's worth
a try. All you have to do is:

-Replace the init ATZ     command by ATB29
-Replace the dial ATDT... command by ATDI...

Hi LXers,

I have problems to run Globalink Translation System (gts) English <> =
German build in 1991 on IC RAM-Card on the HP 200LX ?

Gts needs a minimum of 386K System RAM. Allocated System RAM on the =
200LX is over 500K.

Buffers and files under DOS are eg. 30. Other drivers in autoexec.bat or =
config.sys are unloaded.

Gts starts at the DOS a> prompt from the 200LX plugin card slot as the =
drive a: by giving <gts>.

Main-menu of gts is now shown on the screen. By pressing <Menu>key in =
gts to start execution 200LX hangs. Only <Alt-Contr.-Del> brings the =
200LX in the right order.

Gts runs proper on my HP 95LX (512K, DOS 3.22). Has someone an idea to =
solve this problem on the 200LX ?

Thanks lutz_haumann@t-online.de=20

Subject:      How to automatically adjust 200LX system time to summertime DST

Dear list members,

the following might be of interest if you want to automatically
correct the 200LX system time at the beginning and at the end
of DST.

On my German 200LX I opened the World Time this morning
and was at first presented with a message that summertime
has started and whether I want the system time to be adjusted
(advanced by one hour). I acknowledged with F10 =OK (because
DST in fact started at 2:00 a.m.) and all was fine.

I automated this by adding two repeating appointments to
the appointment book, the first one at the last Sunday of
March, the second one at the last Sunday of October, each
at 2:00 a.m. These appointments start a system macro.

The macro is simple. It opens the Application Manager, selects
the World Time application (which should then present the
mentioned message), presses F10 (to change the system time),
closes World Time, and finally closes Application Manager.

That's all. This automatically updates the system time
according to the DST.

Do not forget to adopt the dates according to your geography.

If you test it by playing around with the system time
through Config, note two things:

1. Watch the * character in World Time, which tells you
whether World Time "thinks" it is "inside" or "outside" DST.

2. In APPTS the macro starts exactly at Start Time - Leadtime.
You might want to set the latter to 0.

Regards Norbert

Hi Listers.

I have been offered a 200LX which works OK except for
showing faint horizontal lines on the screen all the
time. You can still read the screen, but the lines
may be an early symptom of something more sinister.

I've seen many mentions here of vertical lines, which
seem to be caused by a loose connector, but I don't
recall ever seeing any discussion of horizontal lines.

Any ideas on the likely cause and long term effect?

TIA, Roger

I started getting horizontal lines at the bottom of the screen on Friday
night.
Now (2 nights later) the screen is unreadable.
(Almost completely covered with horizontal lines.)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for taking so long to respond.  I had a change of e-mail address =

Thanks very much to all those who responded to my request

Using Excel View seems the way to go.

BTW, I wasn't entirely clear with my request.  I received
an Excel file from someone else and don't have Excel, nor
do I have a desire to buy it, hence the need for a translator.

Thanks.

This is an interesting reviewing with a number of screen shots. Also, the CE
editor at byte.com has a similar set of comments. The general conclusion is
that Pocket PC is almost ready for prime time. Also, those interested in
life on the other side,

http://www.foxpop.ndirect.co.uk/newsviews/News1.htm

There's an interesting editorial entitled "Functions not Features!". Reading
this will make you realize how good the support is from Avi and the other
surviving vendors for the HP200lx.

Hi Jack:
I had the same problem I could not read my screen other LX'er go right
into the screen
area taking off the cover and fix it. Myself I am not into geting into
the 200LX
BECAUSE I MIGHT MAKE IT WORSE. I think other LX'er know how and they
save $$$$$ by
fixing there own. I sent mine to Thaddeus computing they do an excellent
job in
fixing the problem,they really know the HP 95LX,100LX,200LX AND ALSO
SUPPORT it EVEN
MORE SENCE HP BUGED OUT NOV LAST YEAR. So Jack I would call them and get
an est $$
                                 Best of Luck

Do you know whether the Siemens C25 is GSM capable?
I am using that phone when I am in Europe, but the user's manual is not

enough.
Here in the States I am using (by chance) a Motorola StarTac.
It would be great, if I could use the C25 here as well as in EU.

That happened to me when I would pan to the right in the app mgr, and it
would lock up.
I was sending it in to thaddeus anyway for an upgrade and they fixed it.
I don't know precisely what was wrong with it.

Subject:      High Capacity Nimh cells and ABC/LX

Hi,

I've just bought some new Sanyo Nimh batteries, rated at 1600mAH! I'd like to use the auto-tune function in ABC/LX but the program doesn't recognise a setting above 1200mAH. Has anybody else found a way around this or have some suggestions as to tuning parameters for 1600mAH cells?

As an aside I had some of the 1450mAH, low self discharge cells, and after about 8months, they have lost a lot of their capacity. Completely discharging after about 5 days! The charge curve also stalls at a  voltage (I think about 2.5-2.6V) after approx 4hrs, then three hours later starts to climb again! Anyone else seen this?

Regards

Hi all !!

I've made a DOS program for the Hp 200 Lx which uses a modem
attached to the serial port in order to establish a communication.

My goal, now, is manage to run this program in a conventional PC
under DOS and establish the same communication.

It would be that difficult ?? (internal registers, serial port has
now 9 pins intead of 10, ...)

Thanks for your answers !!

Best Regards
Frank

the C25 is a dualband mobile and can be used in the 900 MHz
D-Nets and 1800 MHz E-Nets, but not in the 1900 MHz net of
the US. What you need is a tri-band mobile which operates in
all three MHz ranges. Very few of them exist already in the
high price segment (Motorola has one, if I remember right)

The 200lx of course!!! I have used mine to configure Cisco Routers, 3-Com
hubs/switches etc. Just use the standard serial cable and the datacom
application and your away!! I do intend on getting the network card too,
then I can do stuff like packet analysis, testing etc.

Most everyone who charges >1200 cells in the 200LX (via ABC/LX) will leave them
in there thru 2 cycles.

Also, if the cells are still new, the charging characteristics may change as
they get "broken in".  I've tried NiMH cells from 1200 up to 1500mAh, and they
vary widely in performance and charge characteristics.  Some top off at 2.95v,
others (my last DigiKey 1500) at 2.87v, so I think you'll have to experiment
with the stall time (which I've set to 6hrs on mine).  NiMH do require LONG
stall times (compared to NiCad).

My Olympus Camedia 1450mAh cells went for a year of good use (and they charged
fast), before I switched to the Digikey (just to see how they compare).

Hi,

I've just bought some new Sanyo Nimh batteries, rated at 1600mAH! I'd like to
use the auto-tune function in ABC/LX but the program doesn't recognise a setting
above 1200mAH. Has anybody else found a way around this or have some suggestions
as to tuning parameters for 1600mAH cells?

As an aside I had some of the 1450mAH, low self discharge cells, and after about
8months, they have lost a lot of their capacity. Completely discharging after
about 5 days! The charge curve also stalls at a  voltage (I think about
2.5-2.6V) after approx 4hrs, then three hours later starts to climb again!
Anyone else seen this?

I've been using the Simple Tech 48MB CF card in a 6MB DS 200lx for about 3
years. No driver is required, however frank is correct about battery life.
Without the Flash card I get between 14 & 16 hrs battery life using
Panasonic 1100mAh Ni-Cd's. With the card I get about 6 hrs. I run the PT to
2.00v using Mack's utility and recharge in the PT about every 3 days. Never
have had a problem with data.  I am considering switching to the Kodak NiMH
batteries to get better life. I tried to use Lxcic to control the card.
Prog loads and appears to work, but no effect on the card.

Bottom line is that I find it invaluable but wish it didn't hit the
batteries so hard.

good luck

Avi can answer this better, but AFAIK there's no way around the limit
unless D&A updates the program.  I think ABC/LX has a 16 hour charge
time limit.  You could set the charge time to the limit.  Start
charging at 2.4 - 2.5 volts, end at about 2.95, and a stall time of 5-6
hours.

The loss of capacity and lowering of top charge voltage happens with
most rechargeables when they are repetitively charged after a partial
discharge (exactly what happens in the palmtop).  To restore them,
they should be dischargd to below 1V per cell, and then recharged.
Some folks use Mack's software to allow the palmtop batteries to drop
to this level without any problems (but it sounds risky to me).  The
stalling  is also normal enough - The palmtop has an A-D convertor
with a resolution of ~27 mV, so the graph looks flat until the
increase is greater than 27 mV.

I have a 2x/6mb 200LX and I used that with a 40mb Simple Tech PCMCIA flash for a
while before switching to a 48mb Sandisk CF, after hearing good reports of
improved battery life.

In fact, once I switched to the Sandisk, I got several hours more usage
(measured by ABC/LX) between charges ... about a 30% increase, with also a
slight increase in performance.

Comparing my 40mb Simple Tech PCMCIA flash to a 48mb Simple Tech CF is somewhat
apples and oranges ... but if they use the same controllers, then they may share
some of the same power characteristics.

I had a 700lx for a while. I used a 24 mb Sandisk compact flash card on
it and I had no problem. I have not used Stacker on it, but I used Jam
without problems. Nothing like this..

Yes we have a lot providers here in Norway. Telenor (goverment owned
company) still owns the lines. But we have a lot of prefix providers
and also fixed prefix providers. This is for homephone, but we also
have two providers which have mobil/cellular. There are also several

I may be the one for Norway. I like to find the cheapest provider at
all times. These are the different plans:

Home phone to mobil
Home phone to home phone - day
Home phone to home phone - evening

These rates are to everywhere in Norway. No extra fee for long distance
calls.

Mobil to home phone day
Mobil to home evening
Mobil to mobil day
Mobil to mobil evening
Mobil to Mobil day/evening when calling to other nets

All the mobil calls are complex to keep track of they have a lot of
different calling plans. I have a 123 spreadsheet where I calculate
which is cheapest for which different plan/provider. You can not change
and use other providers without changing your simcard and number. But
one company provides callback so it can be used by all providers (the
providers are not happy with that and this callback company will be a
regular virtual provider this summer)

We have a lot of providers on home phone which all have different
prices. They are (probably forgotten some):

Telenor (main provider..we pay a fee to them anyway to have a phone,
but they are expencive compared to the others on use.)

Telia/Enitel prefix/fixed prefix provider (1)
Tele2 same as (1)

These are the big ones but these below have the cheapest rates:

Privatel (1)
Teleman (1)
Coshopper/Telegate(Tele1) (1) (My provider at the moment for all calls)
Norsk Familiexkonomi(Tele1) (1)

And probably some more.

They all have a connection fee for every call started. This connection
fee is not always the same for each provider. I use the cheapest one.

Calling with mobil we have these providers:

Telenor Mobil (biggest provider with a lot of calling plans)
Netcom (a lot of calling plans)
Sense Mobil (virtual provider (Telenor)
Telepluss(callback for everybody but will be virtual soon with Netcom)
+Even more virtual providers soon

> You find LXTEL on my homepage:
> http://peichl.hplx.net/lxtel.zip

I have downloaded the program and I will take a closer look. My german
is not good at all and I was confused at first, but I will have another
look.

It looks promising. There will be more virtual/prefix providers here in
Norway and it is not always easy to keep track of them. There will also
be more and faster changes in the time to come on the prices.

I am not sure how much of the info above is possible to incorparate in
the Lxtel. I guess you have focused on home phone rates.

amazingly good compilers at very low prices.  Aint competition

I tried using the HPPIM programs built into my Omnibook 425.
I noticed that the default name for the appointment data file on
the 425 is appt1.adb. I suspect that this is what you are seeing with
phone1.pdb. I stopped using the windows PIM package because of an incident
where the omnibook was inturrupted and somehow saved the appointment file
to appt1.adb in the root directory instead of appt.adb that I had been
using from a subdirectory. Both files ended up unusable and I now use the
connectivity pack exclusivly. The omnibook seems to keep putting an empty
appt1.adb in the root directory but I just ignore it and we are much
happier.

This prompted me to download hppim.zip - not for a network - but to see if
it
would be an improvement on the CPACK200 on the desktop. But after loading
my
pdb and gdb files into the same directory,  it won't work. I noticed when
I
clicked on Phone.exe, the resulting screen was titled Phone1, so I changed
the name to phone1. Same result - nothing.

Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2000 17:58:45 GMT

I've had my 200LX for years and I dearly love the machine.  In fact
I've often said that if I lost it, I'd have to retire because most of
my brain is in there.  But, I'm thinking about upgrading.  I want to be
able to do internet stuff and e-mail from my palmtop.  I'm aware of
programs like www/lx and that might be the way I'll go.  But I'm also
thinking about the 320LX and the 360LX, and maybe even something newer.

What I'm wondering about is old 200LX users that have made the switch
to the newer format--the bigger keyboard, the embedded number pad and
etc.  Do people make the switch?

And programs.  Having explorer right on the machine sounds good.  But
what about HP Solve, is that still on the newer machines.  I could get
used to everything else, but I couldn't get by without HP Solve.

Any advise greatly appreciated.

Patrick,

Following your advice, after the blank phone1 screen appeared, I selected the
folder and entered phone1.pbd. It got the "already open" message which was fair
enough; except that the phone1.pdb in that directory was loaded with data and the
open one was empty . So I tried phone.pdb (also in the directory) and got "An
error has occurred in your program. To keep working click ignore...to quit etc."
Ignore did nothing. "Close" froze the computer and  switching off was required.

See the  HP PIM posting from Andrew King and my reply for more.

Andrew,

I tried Patrick West's suggestion but it doesn't work.  I also tried loading
the appt.adb file. First, appt1.adb was empty; and when I tried loading
appt.adb everything froze. Unlike the phone.pdb attempt, this time I got  the
"End Task " option which worked.

All things considered I don't think it's worth the trouble pursuing it any
further. I just wondered if the formatting might make it easier to do a print
of the phone book with less editing than the last time I did it.

Richard.

Has anyone come across a way to read "Stack"ed flash cards in Win9x?  I have an HP 20MB SanDisk with Stacker on it in my LX.  I don't have the heart to remove Stacker, but it sure would be nice to pop the card into my laptop for backup purposes.

As it is, I have to backup across the slow serial link.  As a result, I don't do it nearly often enough 8-(

"input as a team" refers to a remark i made in response to David Sargeant's

i broadened the term to include any file created by HPLX-L members worth for

I once had stacker working that way, but IIRC it required that stacker be `installed' on the
host (laptop) machine, even if it wasn't actively used to stack the hard disk on the laptop.

I found my life got _much_ easier (in this dimension at least) when I bought a larger flash
card (with dropping prices, 40mb proved to be about a third the price of my original 5mb,
and things have gotten even cheaper since), and I gave up worrying about stacking anything.

Now backups are simply a matter of a few seconds for an XCOPY...

So, while I have no stake in you spending your money, I'd guess that in this case it would
probably be cheaper to buy better hardware than fuss with the software...

Is it possible you have a modified (edited format) Phone Book?
If I remember correctly, it seems as if the OB PIM doesn't work
with Phone Book databases that have a modified format.

Dear LXers,

the cause of the problem turned out to be an "Error in macro
definition". I had been editing some PE macros and had left an
error behind to correct later. The letter "c"-problem
diappeared when I corrected the macro.

Hi friends,

finally, I've made ready the instructions to make a data cable for
conecting a Siemens S25, S35i or C35i cellular phone to the 200LX.
You can find it on my home page

http://daniel.hplx.net

Today I got an email from womeone who pointed me to the MAX233. He
said, this one would provide thhe same functionalty as the MAX232, with
the advantage, that one don't need external capacitors.

I'll look into it and see if there's also a similar replacement for the
MAX3232; maybe this could make the circuit simpler.

I saw the same when I had my Hplx upgraded. Because I now seldom use
the card that has resulted in longer battery life. I have a cf Sandisk
24 mb.

The increased battery life has now been reduced to the battery life I
had before, but I now use a Accton Ethernetcard in the slot and use it
a lot. I have some old Nicd, that I get about 4-6 hours of this use
with. Without any use of the slot I get about 12 hours.

This will change when I switch to Ni-Mh soon.

The hardware, architecture, and operating system of the 200LX
are just regular PC compatable.  So any program you write for
it will run on a regular PC.  Except, of course, if you use
any of the programs, functions, or services in the ROM.

Since your application seems to just use the serial port, that
is certainly compatable with a desktop PC's serial port.  The
serial connector that is in the 200LX is a special connector,
but with the serial cable, the DB9 on the end is just like a
PC's DB9 signals.  The only thing different is that the HP
serial cable includes null modem wiring in it so that the end
of the serial cable actually looks like a modem.

If your application and the device you are connecting it to
work with the HP serial cable without an adapter, then when
you run on a regular PC, you will need a null modem adapter on
the PC serial cable to connect to your device.

Other than that, the hardware and programming are the same for
operating the serial port.  On the 200LX, it is COM1 but on
the PC it could be COM1, 2, 3 or 4.  And on the PC the UART
could be a buffered 16550 but that would be downward
compatable with the programming you did for the UART in the
palmtop.

The horizontal lines are most likely caused by a loose
connector.  One connector carries the vertical signals and
another carries the horizontal signls to the LCD.  My old
200LX had the vertical line problem.

I don't know if this is something you could fix by yourself by
disassembling the LCD.  This is certainly not a job for the
inexperienced and I don't recommend it.

As others have suggested, check with Thaddeus Computing and
see how much it would cost to fix the screen at the same time
they do an upgrade.

If you are thinking of buying a used palmtop with this
problem, then it should be very inexpensive because this kind
of problem does not go away and only gets worse.  So, the cost
of the repair should be considered when setting a value on the
used palmtop.

Hi friends,

Today I found a 56k PCMCIA modem in a computer store here in Berlin,
Germany.

It costs 149 DM and works in the HP200LX! I tried it for about 5 minutes
with not fresh recharged NiMH batteries: Before the test the batteries
had abt. 2.48V, after the test (115200/V24bis connection, abt. 5
minutes) the voltage dropped to 2.39V.
No heat, no crash, no problems at all!

If you're interested in buying such a modem, let me know. Maybe I can
convince the guys to make a discount price if a few of you want to buy
such a modem.

The modem is labled as

My three cents worth.
I usually use 1500/1600mAh NMhi of various brands.
They are about the same (says the fine print).
and after a koupla cycles in a TOSHIBA Nimh
recharger, I leeve them in the LX and trickle
charge every night.   No problem ever afta.

One way to get around da below pgm is to have
three sets in rotation with a recharger.  One set is
rechargin, one set in use, and one set discharging.
Doing so will also make them last longer, like rotating
shoes and inkreesing efficiency.

Hi Daniel.

Does the modem have a separate dongle, or is the connector built-in (like an
X-jack)?

Also, connect speed and transfer speed seem almost independent of each other.  I
had a 56K Xircom modem that also worked in the 200LX, but I found out from the
spec sheet that the power usage was something like +230ma ... even tho I
connected at high speed (as you did), file transfers confirmed that the
transmission speed averaged under 24k bps.

The maximum speed may have been throttled back by the line speed limits in my
area.  Possibly in an area with better phone lines, a much higher speed may have
been possible, but it's also possible that the higher speed may increase the
power requirement on the slot to the limits specified by the modem.  Can that be
a danger to the LX?

- Longden

PS  I agree that the 800CT is a good supplement to the 200LX, but I still wish
it were smaller, got longer battery life, and was cheap.

My HP-100LX provided his really best to help me since 1993, but time and
activity are changing and it's been about one year now it's no longer of any
help...
I found a young guy who seems to have great use of it and I think we had
together a fair deal (sorry Nathalie, I would have appreciated treating with
you ;o) ). I saw him a couple of time here and I'm quite sure he will be
very welcome on this list.

It's time for me to sincerely thank all of you nice persons who were of such
a valuable help during these three years, to wish you a long and great time
with your favorite piece of silicon, and finally find the way to
unsubscribe.

Take care,

all the best from France.

I'm fairly certain that you can get it in the US, too. I
think that it's sold by a company called OnHand - possibly
http://www.onhand.com or http://www.onhandpc.com?

From what you say about Norway, it is very likely that LxTel

Same here in Germany! And it will take at least another 2-3
years until UMTS is introduced, which will allow mobile call

Finding the right combination of modem and cel phone that work
together is hard enough and then finding a modem that works in
the palmtop is even harder.  Of course, the modem has to be
low power ( <=3D 150 ma) for use in the palmtop.  Even then it
can run down the batteries rather quickly.

The hard part of the cel/modem combination is that there are
lots of cel phone connectors and lots of modem connectors.
There does seem to be some kind of standard that a few
phones/modems use.  Then it is just a matter of finding the
cable with the right connectors.

Darn, I cannot remember the brand or model of the PC Card
modem I have.  I just remember the cable cost almost as much
as the modem did.  It did take a lot of research on the web to
look at the modem specs and the lists of compabable phones and
a few phone calls to confirm the info from the web and then I
finally made the purchase.

It all works fine now.

There is a version of Stacker called Stacker Anywhere that
will load a temporary stacker driver on a machine and mount
the stacked drive and allow access to it.  Then you close the
Stacker Anywhere and it all goes away.

I believe this will work in Win95 if you boot to MSDOS mode or
maybe in a DOS window.

The trick it getting ahold of the Stacker Anywhere program.
It was not disbributed with the Stacker than came with
flashcard way back then.  You would need to find a retail box
of whatever Stacker version you have.  The file is
STACKER.EXE, I believe.

It is easier to swap motherboards than it is to swap screens.
The motherboard is quite easy to remove and put into the
palmtop with the good screen.

Just got this note from our tech on your question:


He can either:

1.  Cut it off outside the keyboard

2.      Open the keyboard.  Be very careful, as the screws are screwed into
plastic and they are very easy to break or strip out.
        The two halves of the keyboard are connected by a thin cable that
should be left alone. The black Jornada cable is connected to a white
connector on the board inside.  This plug can simply be pulled out of the
connector.
        Then, there is a green ground wire that runs from the black Jornada
cable to a ground strap.  You should cut the wire away from the ground
strap, but leave that ground strap attached to the board inside the
keyboard.
        Then simply put the keyboard back together.

Hal:

Thanks for the tip.  I also got some helpful tips from Mack.  Note
that I want to do more than your technician indicated - I want to
remove *both* cables that came attached to the unit, and replace them
with a single HP200LX-only cable.  In fact, I should have specified
this when I placed my order, had I appreciated the bulk of both cables.

I'll let the list know of my success when I'm done.

You can clean circuit boards with alcohol and air dry the board. BUT
don't clean any drives as alcohol will remove all the lube on the
bearings.

Another way to clean boards is with water but extreme care must be taken
and thorough
drying is a must!!. Most companys use water to clean boards after wave
soldering.

For the home user I would say use rubbing alcohol and rinse only the
board off. Be careful not to get any in drives or in the power supplies.
Pretest plastics, some will craze (melt).Also watch out for heat sink
grease, transformers,switches, speakers, motors and batteries.
I usually pour alcohol over the board and let it run in to a large
container. Shake off excess, after that I dry it with compressed air or
air dry over night.   IT MUST BE COMPLETELY DRY BEFORE POWERING UP!!!
And Alcohol and it's fumes can be  dangerous. Work in the proper area.

 Any thing that may be dissolved by alcohol should not be cleaned. But
Epoxy boards,  small Capacitors, resistors, LED's, Transistors and IC
chips are fair game.

Yes this is off topic, but Pilot's are occasionally mentioned here so I

My friend wants a Palm Pilot.  (I suggested an HPLX but she isn't into
DOS and the Pilot's ability to sync with Lotus Notes is a BIG plus.)

I told her I'd do a bit research to see which model was best.  Where's a
good place to learn what's available and what works (and what doesn't).

Any pointers to good info is appreciated.  (Off list please.)

What I have done is simply load Stacker in the config.sys of my Windows
machine, the same (Ace technologies) version of stacker that runs on the
LX.  I should add that I also load (CardSoft) 16-bit PCMCIA card drivers
ahead of Stacker and remove the 32-bit Windows drivers in Control Panel.
This is actually on a desktop machine with a two-slot SCM SwapBox PCMCIA
card reader installed. There is probably a performance hit for using 16-bit
drivers but I've never noticed it and besides I was never able to get the
32-bit drivers to work properly on my machine, probably because of a
shortage of IRQs which they seem to demand. The CardSoft drivers do not
require an IRQ. Another advantage is that, with them active, Windows
permanently assigns drive letters to each of the slots (G and H on my
machine) and reserves a third drive letter (I) for the unstacked
counterpart of G. G and H always show up in Windows Explorer as "Removable
Disks" whether a card is inserted or not.

The relevant lines from config.sys are:

REM CardSoft(TM) 3.1 PCMCIA DRIVERS
DEVICEHIGH=C:\CARDSOFT\SSVADEM.EXE
DEVICEHIGH=C:\CARDSOFT\CS.EXE

You might start at www.palm.com. They have links to other places.

I sent this to the list as well since others may be interested as well.
I found a good price on the Palm V. I ordered one for $180 from the
company called Accompany (now known as Mobshop) using a promotional 20%
discount at the following link:

http://click2deals.net/deals/c_deals.php3?category=Computers

It took several tries to get the promo code accepted, but it finally
worked. Never dealt with them before so can't say good or bad about them.


And no, I'm not abandoning the 200LX. I use it for too many things the
Palm won't do, but I've been looking for something with PIM functions,
that was even more portable than the LX. I thought a lot about the REX 5,
especially with Chris Lott's sync project, but I don't think I would be
happy with the limited built-in editing.

Sorry for the OT post, but I need some help on an AOL question, and I

"Stuff like this a message my uncle is forwarding often comes with a
long list of names/addresses etc. If I want to forward the article, is
there some way I can first delete everything I DON"'T want to forward?

I'm not familiar with AOLs mailer at all, so I don't know what to suggest.
I would assume the mailer would allow you to edit forwarded messages, but
is this not the case?

Well, after trying everything I finally called my company's help
line and ended up removing all the PCMCIA drivers.  Now I can't
get them back!  I can't even run my Rex card in the card slot
now!  I'll let the windows techies scratch their heads on that
for a while, but in the meantime:

Chris Lott, how are you coming on the LX->Rex interface? that
would certainly help me get over the loss of my laptop card
slot! I for one am willing to help in any way I can!

To avoid the long list of names and addresses, often Bcc: is used.

hello readers of the list,

I tried to send a fax with my HP200 using BGFAX and FAXGUI.
I have the problem that I get an error message (something with wrong
parameter) when I use a comma in the phone number prefix. (0,) which I
need to get the public phone line.
The comma is necessary for a pause of one second or so, because my
phone needs it to dial out to the public phone net. If I do not fill in
that comma, BGFAX does its job, but dialing of the phone number is
incorrect.
Has anybody had this problem too, and knows a fix?

thank you
Werner

For anybody who is interested in the capacity of different backup battery types,
there is a good table on the following URL:

http://data.energizer.com/batteryinfo/product_offerings/lithium/lithium_coin.htm


I asked last week about a problem I had with an LX 700 which is software compatible
to the 200 LX but uses another power system, because you can plug-in a Nokia
2110 and charge them both, the LX AND the Nokia phone. I inserted a 5MB Sundisk
and started stacker. Then the screen was frozen and only a Shift-Ctrl-On with
Reinitializing and total loosing of all data brought it back to life. And, yes
Stefan, I had to pull out ALL the batteries.

The backup battery in the 700 LX was a CR2032. I now inserted a CR2025 and wanted
to check, what the difference is. The only difference is the mAh (milli Amper
hours), which means, that the life of the backup battery will be longer for
the 2032 than the 2025. But that doesn't matter a lot, right? I only use rechargeable
accus in the LX. This means, that I NEVER EVER pull them out of the LX. So the
backup battery has not much to do. I use a 200LX since 1,5 years now with the
same backup battery. It is at 2.99 now and that seems to be ok.

The only tip I give to all LX newbies: NEVER EVER let it come to a 'battery-low-warning-beep'.
Then you are on the safe side.

Helmuth Guenther and Longden Loo (thank you!!) said that the one 5 minute
test I made was not enough to say that the modem really works properly
in the 200LX.
So please don't be too enthusiastic and wait a little with buying it
until I did a few more tests with the modem.

First, I'll make the "W2" test to see with what speed it connects to
the ISP.
And I'll do some bigger downloads to see if the modem draws more or too
much power when downloading at full speed (I only tested with a
terminal emulation, because I thought there's no difference between
downloading something and not downloading something, as long as there's
a connection at all).

So, sorry if I gave you too much hope for now - I'll report as soon as
I made the tests. (I don't have such a modem here, I have to go into
the shop again.)

no. it has a dongle. but the dongle is really only the cable, no
external device like some other modems have.

Yes. I heard that sometimes the palmtop simply switches into backup
mode because of the high power drain, someone reported that the 200LX
gets very hot, and I think someone even said that one modem (or another
device that took too much power) destroyed his motherboard!
So we have to be careful.

Sure :-)
One more disadvantage of the 800ct is the keyboard: You have to press
the keys really from straight (orthogonal) above, otherwise they won't
be pressed down. If you're used to type on such a keyboard, it might
work, but I had very bad difficulties to type text on the 800ct at my
first try!

Even better: Some Palmtop BIOS functions are just ignored on
the PC. If your communication program switches the serial power
on and off using INT15 BIOS functions, the same code runs on
the PC without any changes, because the corresponding INT15
function on the PC is just an IRET. No need to check for the
machine, your program is running on. Indeed it looks different,
if you use the palmtops graphics functions of INT5F. Then you
need a TSR, which simulates the INT5F on the PC, like PALRUN,
INT5F or PALMPC.

Well I might be of a little help here.  I use a Apex Mobile Plus
Cellular 33.6 modem, with my LX & Motorola StarTAC digital cell
phone, and used to use the modem with my Motorola StarTAC analog
cell phone.  When I upgraded from the analog StarTAC to the
digital, all my accessories were the same, the batteries, the AC
charger, the DC car adapter, and the cell modem cable (that cost
me $70.00) that went between the StarTAC and the Apex cell
modem.

It really was hard to believe that all the accessories were
exchangeable.  In the past, every time I upgraded to a new cell
phone, all new accessories had to be purchased.  I have a drawer
full of handheld phones, and accessories, because when ever I
upgraded, my wife wanted her upgraded too, so I ended up with
double the worthless junk.

The Mobile Plus modem works well using both a cell connection,
and a landline connection.  Before owning the Mobile Plus modem
by Apex, I had purchased their 56k modem, which also worked
great in the LX, because the current draw was less than 150ma,
but I found out it was not cellular capable.

As far as I know, they still don't make a 56k cell modem.  Don't
get deceived by the ads that says they are cellular ready.  If
it is not a cellular modem, don't buy it.  That is how I got
tricked into buying their 56k modem, in the first place.

Apex was nice enough to trade me for the Mobile Plus cell modem
I have now, because I talked to Tom Boyles of Apex Tech Supt,
who happens to be a fellow LX'er.  He told me Apex was planning
to make their 56k modem cellular, but discovered they couldn't
for some reason.

My cell provider tells me they are no longer selling the
StarTAC's anymore, and a newer model will be replacing them
soon.  Is that what the Vader is?  If it is, why is it not
digital?  I have not seen any ads on it yet, in any of my
electronic gizmo magazines.  I am waiting for the next upgrade,
so I can once again go spend all that money on new accessories
again!  The phones are cheap, it is the accessories that they
get you on.

I don't know if a cable is available for the Vader to use with
the Mobile Plus modem.  A lot of the newest digital phones now
have built in modems, like the Qualcomm 860.  I bought one, and
used it for about a month, before returning it, for the newest
digital StarTAC.  It was just too large for me, and I had to way
too many cables to go online.

After you carry a small phone for a few years, it is hard to go
back to a full sized handheld.  The Qualcomm had a built in
modem, I don't recall the speed, but it would connect using
digital, not analog, which made it faster.  I had to have a
special cable made by David Shier of Shier Systems, that was a
null modem cable.

The Qualcomm had a cable that plugged into it (which I had to
buy from Qualcomm, of course, $25), and then I would plug the
null modem cable into that cable, and then I would plug the Hp
connectivity cable into that cable, just to go online.  I would
have about eight feet of cables plugged together, and three
cables to carry around, no thanks!

The advantage of that setup, was no power was drawn from the LX,
to run the modem.  The disadvantage was, I had to carry these
three cables with me, just to go online wirelessly.  I don't
know if any of this helps, but you first need to know if your
phone has a built in modem, which I would think you stating it
was analog, would not have a modem built in.

Also I don't understand why Motorola would make a new model
phone in analog.  I though all the new models were digital.  You
could go to Motorola's, Apex's, and MobilePlanet's websites, or
phone them, to check on what you would need to purchase, to go
online wirelessly.

Hope this helps.  By the way, some of the cables are a real rip
off, I paid $80.00 for one of the cables for my Motorola Piper
years ago, to connect to my Motorola Montana cell modem, that
ended up cooking one of my LX's, because the modem drew too much
power, so be careful not to exceed 150ma in power consumption.

Hm I got a Megahertz XJ4288 28.8/14.4kbps Data/Fax with Xjack Connector.
I just got it with my Hp200lx backup machine I bought from the US.

I have trouble using it here. Is there any difference between a nordic
model and this us model? I can't really use it without it crashing the
Hplx and I have to do a ctrl-shift-on

I have tried latest Lxcic and also cic100, but nothing works. Lxcic
finds the card and initialize it, but the Hp crashes anyway. I have
confused myself a little, because I have gotten it to work a couple of
times, but I have not found any pattern on when it works and when it
does not. I will try some more and remove tsr's and stuff like that.

I use Www/lx and speed 19200 and init=ATZ. I do not have a manual is
there any special init string I have to use?

I will post this on the Hplx mailinglist too

I got one from the customer to "meet his requirements". I never got
used to it. My wife tried it for one week on our trip to New York. She
didn't get used to it either.

It looks nice, it has a nice feeling, it is smaller and does weigh less
than the hp200lx. Objective it is all less and subjective it is also of
less use to us. And from the subjective point of view, for us it is to
big and to heavy compared against the use.

We are still happy with the hp200lx and as long as smart people like
you develop software for the hp200lx it will increase the use and the
pleasure of the hp200lx.

Kind regards

I might use it for fun since I am also in Norway (Oslo), but I seem to have
settled down with something that works, which is Telenor, both data and
voice. I have priotized (?) this and keeping my email address and phone
number the same. For me it nearly always works, 99,99%. I have been
installing 2-3 other competing internet services at two locations multiple
times during the last month, but lots of problems seemingly not related to
hardware/user error. I don't know, maybe I lose my green fingers now and
again. Anybody get that feeling now and again? :-)

R. Sxrlie and ? Rasmussen frequent the list too. Any more?

I have been getting the list daily during that time.  I use Post/LX on my palmtop.  I use Compuserve as my ISP, but the list is sent to another POP3 mailbox that I check through Compuserve.

WORD 5.5 for DOS is Y2K OK. It should be available as a free upgrade
from the MS download site, but if you have trouble finding it, I can
send you a copy.

this is a good way IMHO, and if you use the ECS charging system
you need no discharging. I built several of these charging units and
the practical experience is very good. There are also chargers

Hi,=20

I was wondering if a possibility of keeping the screen with a  black =
background exists.
The fact is that it desactivates when swapping from an app to another.

Warning: Off Topic

I would like to obtain a small VGA screen and keyboard.  A combintaion
unit (like an old terminal) would be nice, but not required.  Any
screen size around 5-9 inches would be aceptable.  I have to travel
frequently and support some embedded computers, many of which are DOS
based and have a keyboard/monitor connection for troubleshooting
purposes.  It would be nice to have something really small to carry
around to these sites.

My palmtop works sometimes, when I can issue the CTTY COMx command to
the embedded system.  But I have experienced frequent problems with this
technique, especially when errors crop up.  For example, the BIOS in
most computers seems to write error messages directly to the screen,
regardless of the current definition of the CONsole.

Any pointers to suitable vendors off list would be appreciated.

-Chris

Your report sounds very similar to my experience. I was given a Palm and dilligently
tried to get used to using it over couple of months, but found it sufficiently
frustrating, and finally gave it away (to someone who ended up having a similar
experience, BTW).

Although I am reasonably facile, and reasonably dexterous, Graffiti was always a
difficult and sloooooow way to capture input. My most amusing finding, during the
process of trying to get used to the Palm, was to regularly run `races' with long
time Palm users---who regularly claimed that they were `just as fast' with Graffiti
as with a keyboard. In all cases they took _more than_ three times as long to capture
input as with an HP keyboard. Yet they remained convinced that they were `just as fast',
which may indicate that those who like the Palm, just like it, facts be damned.

My conclusion is that the world seems to divide on some issues, and `facts' end up by
not having much to do with it. The PC/Apple, Python/Perl, Windows/Unix debates seem
to be examples. IMO the Palm/HP200Lx debate is apparently similar. Given the choice,
some will find the Palm very comfortable.

However, others won't, and will continue the search for a reasonable successor to the 200 line...

The only problem with external chargers is that weekly swapping of the batteries
means your battery cover will break sooner than later (and it's usually the
first part that breaks for many people already).

ABC/LX (and other charging programs) lets you keep the batteries (and cover) in
place, and work out a charging method that fits your schedule and needs.

Stefan,

I get your LXTEL regularly and use it only when I am visiting
Germany. However, the few times I have used it left

- a lot of my German friends stunned how a "Spaniard" knew the
cheapest telephone connections in Germany even better than
they did, and

- my wallet less strained !

Thanks again !

Martin,

The suggestions below were for 14.4k modems, of which several have been found to
work well with the 200LX (in terms of power usage).

Your XJ4288 is a 28.8k modem, and I don't ever recall anyone having much success
with these.  Since the advent of WinCE and Pilot, modem power usage appears to
be getting better (ie, some 56k modems work on the 200LX), but the XJ4288 may
have existed in the void between the 200LX and the modern PDAs, before power
became a concern for the modem makers.  Best thing would be to check a spec
sheet for the XJ4288 to see how it fares compared to the slot's 150ma limit.

Hm I got a Megahertz XJ4288 28.8/14.4kbps Data/Fax with Xjack Connector.
I just got it with my Hp200lx backup machine I bought from the US.

I have trouble using it here. Is there any difference between a nordic
model and this us model? I can't really use it without it crashing the
Hplx and I have to do a ctrl-shift-on

I have tried latest Lxcic and also cic100, but nothing works. Lxcic
finds the card and initialize it, but the Hp crashes anyway. I have
confused myself a little, because I have gotten it to work a couple of
times, but I have not found any pattern on when it works and when it
does not. I will try some more and remove tsr's and stuff like that.

I use Www/lx and speed 19200 and init=ATZ. I do not have a manual is
there any special init string I have to use?

So please don't be too enthusiastic and wait a little with buying it
until I did a few more tests with the modem.

First, I'll make the "W2" test to see with what speed it connects to
the ISP.
And I'll do some bigger downloads to see if the modem draws more or too
much power when downloading at full speed (I only tested with a
terminal emulation, because I thought there's no difference between
downloading something and not downloading something, as long as there's
a connection at all).

So, sorry if I gave you too much hope for now - I'll report as soon as
I made the tests. (I don't have such a modem here, I have to go into
the shop again.)

Robert, the link worked for me, but it might have to be massaged.

If you do a cut and paste, the URL will end on "Sit" (the first line), and you
then need to grab the 2nd line ->

eID=10&CategoryID=55&ProductID=1494&AlphaID=

and paste it AFTER the first one.

Philippe,

I tried to go to this URL but when I cut/paste it into the browser the
browser gives me a problem.

I managed to get to the main web site,

http://www.consumerreview.com/

but don't exactly know the series of links to get to the page you
mentioned.  Can you list them starting from the above URL?

Thanks,

Rob

Subject:      Newton Keyboard connector?
In-Reply-To:  <200003291520.e2TFKrX27651@mail.hiwaay.net>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

I have a newton keyboard which attaches to my LX via a special cable, made
from an LX serial cable and a special connector.  On a trip not too long
ago I tugged a little too hard on this special cable, and pulled it out
from the connector, so the kbd was useless for the rest of my trip until
I could get to a soldering iron.

Now I am planning to lend an LX and the kbd (since I don't use it too much
while home) to a friend so he can take notes on the LX during his trip to
Europe.  I have managed to get just about everything to either be
redundant, automatically backed up, or just something I don't think he'll
have to worry about.  But I am worried about this cable since his whole
scheme depends on it and it's held by only 3 tiny wires soldered in place.

So, recently I bought another PS-2 connector and was about to slice up an
extra LX serial cable to make another (redundant) cable for him to use in
case pulls this one apart.

It was then that I noticed the Newton kbd does NOT use a standard PS-2
connector!! :( So now I have to either forget about making a second cable
or else find a connector (female) to mate with the kbd, or else slice up
BOTH the newton kbd cable and the LX and just patch the 2 cables together
so the kbd plugs right in to the LX and is more foolproof than it is now.
This later solution would make the kbd a dedicatd LX kbd and could never
be used as a Newton kbd any more.  Any suggestions or know a source for
the connector the Newton kbd plugs into?

PALMPC?  That is one graphics emulator for the HP that I have not heard
about?  What is it and where can it be found?  How does it compare with
the others?

You know the screen is easily inverted by holding down the

Of course, the badly asked question was: Can it be kept as a config., =
if not by switching from an app to another you
return to the green screen background.

This can probably be done using a TSR to detect whether the screen is in reverse
video (or not).... but I don't know of one that does this for you
auto-magically, nor do I know of any generic LX config file that lets you
consistently stay in one mode.

There are probably some kludgy things you can hammer together using batch files
that might work, but "ugly" would be a kind way to describe this fix.

Might Buddy or LXPro handle something like this?  There are
two other apps on SUPER that might work: CONTRAST and CXCTL,
but I haven't tried them.

Yes you are correct the Mac uses a 8 pin mini din, not the PC standard 6
pin variety.
Any store carrying Apple Mac stuff have an extension cable.

What I did was cut the cable on the female end of the extension cable
very  short and solderd it to a 9 pin male D connector, then I epoxy'd
the two connectors together forming a small adapter, hence no chance of
pulling out the cable.

As I wrote to the list in October, 1998:

"Be very careful about trying the PHONE.EXE program with GDB files.  On my
system, it caused the program to crash and be unable to re-start until I
deleted the C:\WINDOWS\PHONEBK.INI file."

This is true with any modified phonebook files, so if you want to go back to
working with unmodified phonebook files on the Windows desktop, you will
have to delete the PHONEBK.INI file first.

You will have better success running GDBWIN for modified files, but the
documentation and menus are in Japanese.  Look for it here:

I just tried it once and it worked. Cannot comment any further.
But since I upgraded to Win95, I have problems using PALRUN
with PE. Maybe I have to look again at INT5F and PALMPC.

Sorry for the last pointer to GDBWIN.  It shows a page full of Japanese text
and some may have difficulty picking out the link for the download.  Here it

You could try LXSTAT, also on SUPER (I think).  Best bet (for folks
with Thaddeus upgraded palmtops) is the latest SPEED31.EXE driver.  It
has settings to set the screen to inverted and keep it that way.  It's
available at:

To All:
    I was able to copy and paste the complete address by (1)-placing my cursor to the
right of the carat (>) above the ist line of the address, dragging to highlight the
complete 1st line of the address, then copying (ctrl-c) and pasting(ctrl-v) that
portion to my browser, then (2)-placing my cursor to the right of the carat (>) for
the 2nd line of the address,highlight, and copy again. (3) locate my cursor on the
partial address already in my browser, hit end to assure I am at the end of the
partial entry. (4) Paste the 2nd portion to the first. (5) Review to make sure there
are no spaces, etc. and hit enter to go directly to the review mentioned -  for the
HP200lx.

This is usually necessary when an address takes up more than one line. Your software
can be set up - usually the default, I think -  to indicate an address that you can
click on by giving it a different color and underlining it.

When you see something that is incompletely colored/underlined, you will need to use
the method outlined above to get there.

Caveat - I am left-handed - there may be a better way to do the above, if so, please

Well, I signed up with

http://www.freewwweb.com

I was impressed that I could use my usual browser setup. I just have to
make there site

http://freewwweb.snap.com/

my home page & probably keep java and cookies enabled.

I know little about pop3 accounts, but I find that I can receive on my
local union-tel.com ISP pop3 account email using my local ISP Netscape
pop3 profile on freewwweb or it seems like any ISP (I've tried two
others).

However, I am not able to send (smtp) to any server but my local
union-tel.com ISP. This means I cannot post to the "list" unless I dial
up my local ISP (long distance number) when I am out of town.

Is there anyway I can send mail (smtp account) when I am using an ISP
other than my local ISP providing I supply the correct login and
password for my union-tel.com smtp?

Receive OK pop3, send not OK smtp away from home. Can I fix this?

If you'll check with David Sargeant, he can probably let you use hplx.net
as an smtp server. I think his only charge is that you give him your

You can probably use the freewwweb smtp once you dialed in with them:

smtp.freewwweb.com

Actually, I will try to send this mail through smtp.freewwweb.com so if you
get it, it should  be OK.

There are several of us who have a ZIP drive connected to our palmtops.
I have a PCMCIA parallel port adaptor (the mfr name escapes me now).
However, I don't use it too much now that I have PCMCIA slots on my
desktop and laptop machines.  But it indeed works just fine.  I did a
full backup of my main FLASH card using the ZIP disk, which was a little
tricky - had to use the DoubleSlot adaptor for that to work (only got
one slot on the 200LX!)

I don't know about Clik, except I think some folks here have researched
it and learned that they have no plans to write a DOS driver.  Current
may be problem for in-200LX use, but could be overcome by using the
DoubleSLot adaptor with an expternal power supply.

You can find the Vader or v3620 at:

http://commerce.motorola.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=530&prmenbr=126&phone_cgrfnbr=1&zipcode=

It's the replacement for the StarTac and is about half the size
(I'm not kidding).  There's a digital version called the v3680 or
v3688 that's available in Europe, but they haven't released it in
the US yet.  I'm pretty sure it uses the same connector as the
StarTac, so that Apex modem should work.  There does seem to be
a 56k cellular version, but I haven't been able to get through to
apexdata.com to confirm it.  I'd be very surprised if Motorola would
stop making analog phones anytime soon.  People like me that are
in the middle of nowhere aren't going to see good digital coverage
for a while.  Thanks for the pointer.

It would be wonderful if we could prevail upon the Japanese author to
offer a version with English menus.  While it is generally intuitive, it
is NOT always so.  But it is great.

My Newton Keyboard has had the normal cable replaced by one
specifically for the 100/200Lx palmtop.  So, the wire coming
out of the NK plugs directly into the palmtop.  I love this
idea because I don't have a mess of wires to deal with.

Perhaps you can do the same to your NK.  What is the
likelyhood of you ever needing to plug the NK back into a
Newton?

The PC Card (PCMCIA) version fo the drive to hold Click media
from Iomega uses too much power for the 200LX, does not have a
driver and I have heard that it is just a tiny bit too thick
to fit in the 200LX's single slot.

I know of people how have used a TransMedia (or other brand)
paralle port card in the palmtop to connect to a parellel
version of the Zip 100 drive.  This works fine.  I don't know
if the Zip 100 with the PC Card interface works directly in
the palmtop.  I suspect that is probably doesn't because
power and/or driver issues.

Wow, Ian, all of those 16-bit drivers and Stacker just to read
a flashcard in the Win95 machine once in a while.  Personally,
I would not want to pay the performance hit and compatability
hit of 16-bit drivers forcing non-32 bit access with my hard
drives.

You should try to get enough stuff off of the flashcard so
that you don't need Stacker.  Then you can save some RAM and
I/O speed on the palmtop without Stacker and you won't need to
to the Stacker/PCMCIA driver shuffle on the Win95 computer.

Keep It Simple.

The other difference between the 2032 and the 2025 button
batteries is the physical size.  I believe the 20 refers to
one dimension and the 25 or 32 refers to another.

The palmtop requires the 2032 so the 2025 may not be the best
fit and make poor contact.

HP recommends replacing the button battery every year
regardless of how much you think it may have been used.  I
replace mine every ten months to be safe.  The batteries are
cheap and peace of mind is priceless.

But it should work physically with DoubleSlot.  Of course, there
is that pesky issue of a missing driver...

I'd like to connect a regular full-size keyboard to a notebook's PCMCIA

Look for the Palrun version on the webpage of DASOFT. It has been

The newsserver(hplx.net) was down because of a power failure. I noticed
that I lost a couple of days or something of messages. The message
numbers was also messed up so I had to do a -50 and then I noticed that
it was a jump in the dates and that a couple of days were gone.

If you use the newsserver you probably lost some messages., If you
recevie the list as regular mail then something else is bad. If you
still does not get anything on the newsserver change your high number
to -50 or even more..

Yes I understand the data bit. You want to stay with Telenor to keep
your emailadress and all that.

But when it comes to voice: You will still have the same phonenumber,
but you can use prefix to let your calls go through another provider.

It will only result in two bills. One from Telenor for giving you the
ability to call and then one bill from your provider which will be
cheaper than what the calls would be if you use Telenor.

I have settled with Tele2. But I do not use the emailadress so I can
change ISP when something cheaper comes around.

The different ISP has a lot of calling plans to make Internet access
cheaper. This is even more complex than the cellular rates/plans.

I think that if we are going to use Lxtel for something it must be
voicecalls and only that. And that is the purpose of the program? Calls
from home to somebody else is still easy to keep track of. The cheapest
provider is now Coshopper/Tele1 for all calls.

But because of the competition between the providers we will see in the
future that one provider is cheaper on cellular calls maybe and one is
cheaper on home -> home. Then Lxtel would be okey to use. Also as
number dialing machine. I have a backup Hplx I could use for this
purpose. Or could Lxtel be used by just laying the Hplx to the phone
and let it dial via dtmf/speaker? That would be nice..

Really?  How old is this notebook computer?  What make and model?

Every single notebook computer I have used for years now has had at least
one DIN connector for keyboard/mouse.  To connect both at the same time just
requires a Y-cable.

The Omnibook 800CT, which isn't that old, doesn't have a DIN connector either
.... and likely neither do any of the older models of OB.

It does have a decent keyboard, and they did throw in a SCSI port tho <g>.

Don't worry about the I/O address and interrupt settings for
the serial port on the palmtop.  They are ignored anyway
because they are hard coded in the palmtop.

The settings are there in the Setup application because they
are needed in the Connectivity Pack that is essentially all of
the 200LX's ROM routines made to run on a regular PC.

I am not aware of any keyboards that come with any kind of
PCMCIA (PC Card) interface.  But there are a few USB keyboards
that are available.  If your notebook has a USB port already,
then you would be all set.  If not, then there are PC Card USB
interfaces that you could use.

Mike,

If you make a _NEW_ message, you can cut the
wanted material from the old message, paste
it into the new message and send it.  Forwarding
will apparently send everything.  This also
allows for other edits as well.  And yes, it
is more work.

This is a fairly straightforward task. You must peel off the screen fascia -
the bit with the writing on. It's stuck down well and a thin blade may help
ease it off. Do not worry, it will stick back with no problem. You will then
see 4 Torx screws, on ein each corner,  which must be undone and then the
front and back of the lid can be seperated with some persuasion. You will
not be able to remove them completely as the hinge keeps the two halves
together, but you should be able to get them far enough apart to be able the
extract the display assembly. IIRC, there is a single earthing strap which
may have to be unsoldered, but the ribbon cable of display signals
terminates in a series of contacts which are pressed against matching
contacts on the display so you can just lift the display off.

I hope these details are correct, it is some time since I dismantled my
display. Take a look around David Sargeant's web site
(http://www.hplx.net.?) Somewhere there is a good article on dismantling a
Palmtop, complete with pictures.

Hope this helps

It's built-in.

Look in D:\dos\chkdsk.exe

Hi,

Does anyone have an idea of where to find CHKDSK so as to repair errors on my
memo card.

Thanks in advance.

  Oddly enough, the notebook is an HP Omnibook 425, circa '94.

  Stan would you know if these PC Card USB interfaces require any drivers

Yea! On the 100LX/200LX its in the D:\DOS directory.
When you run it usee chkdsk /f

Scandisk also works great on the palmtop.

Hi friends,

by accident, I got a CD from Symantec with several versions of
PCAnywhere on it.
I actually asked them to send me a Y2K update for WinFAX Pro, but they
sent me this PCAnywhere CD.

So I thought, once I got it for free, I could use it, if it's useful
for me. :-)

But since I wasn't interested in PCAnywhere by now, I didn't follow all
the discussions here about it.

On the CD, there are the versions PCA16, PCA32 and PCADOS. The DOS
version says it is version 5.04, the 16bit version says it is v2.0 for
Windows 3.1, and the 32 bit version is version 8.02 for Windows 95.

So, please could anyone of you who uses PCA say me what I could do with
that versions? Does 5.04 run on the palmtop at all? can I connect v5.04
(palmtop) to version 8.02 (desktop)?

What can I do with such a connection?
Can I establish connections over serial line? Over modem?

Is it useful at all? :-)

TNX

Unfortunately not ... version 5 doesn't run on the 200LX.  The latest DOS
version of pcANYWHERE to run on the 200LX is 4.5, I think.  I've also
never been able to figure out if the DOS version can connect to a Windows
host ... certainly I'VE never been able to make it do so.

The MAX 3232 converts the signal voltages between the RS232-specified
voltages (3..12V, AFAIK) and the voltages the S25 needs.

The protocol on both sides is the same.

Are you sure you were on COM1; this is usually for the mouse on the PC?
I had some days when TFWIN wouldn't work. The cure was to connect before
switching on.

Alan,

The link below said:
"FORBIDDEN. You do not have permission to access this document. Binary files
stored on FreeServers must be accessed by a local link on a FreeServers user web
page."
None of the web pages looked likely. BTW, the Japanese link you gave earlier had
it OK but I couldn't make out what to do.

It's FreeServers' way of telling you that they want you to visit their
page before you download files from it. A stupid feature, IMO. Anyway, to
download the file, simply visit the page that refers to it -

  http://fronttom.freeservers.com/book/gdbwin/

and download it by clicking on the link on the page.

This happened to me: on 23rd (I think it was that date) the list server
was not recognised as a newsgroup for some time. Later the same day I
could connect, but was told there were no new messages. When this had
occurred 2 days, I found out that the numbers identifying the messages on =
the
server had changed. The number of the message last read before
the anomaly was higher than the highest number reported in the range
now on the server. That number is held in post.cfg and you
can easily edit it. After lowering the number from about 18265 to a
number some 100 lower than the highest number last reported in the
range, I received the messages missed, plus some of the old messages.

I am still curious to know how this number changing actually occurs and
whether all of us, as far as we read the messages from hplx.net/org,
should have had the problem. The same occurred quite some time ago
(autumn '99?).

on the palmtop it is d:\dos\chkdsk.  If you add d:\dos to your Path statement in your autoexec.bat file you can use it by just typing

chkdsk /f

at any DOS prompt.  Otherwise type

d:\dos\chkdsk /f

the /f parameter tells it to fix any errors it finds.  If you leave off the /f parameter it will just report any errors it finds but not try to fix them.

Jorgen,
Where did you get the idea that the HP200LX is more powerful than
the Communicator?

The 9000 and 9000i both use an Intel embedded 386 processor
and the 9110 and 9110i both use an AMD embedded 486  processor.

All four machines have 2MB of program RAM (unlike the 640KB of the 200LX),
and they have the built in applications in XIP (execute in place) ROM
(just like the 200LX).

Having said that, I too would love to have VNC on the 200LX. I use it all the time.
At work and at home.

A thought: a good start may be to change the server end to support monochrome
 (1 bit per pixel) graphics if it doesn't already.

I do no longer use stacker, for various reasons. Where Stacker doesn't
work, Stacker Anywhere probably doesn't either. However, isn't it the
case, when you read a Stackered card in a non-Stacker environment, that
you just see the stacked files as one file, which you could copy for
backup? You could copy it back to the stackered drive when needed, even
though you can't read the stackered part on the non-stacker system. I
am not sure, but I believe I have been doing that in the past.

This reminds me of my experience with type III PCMCIA hard disks (Calluna)=
,
which the HP-XE2 laptop recognises correctly, but won't assign a drive
letter to, whatever setup directions I give. With all sorts of
experiences others reported or advised. A matter of getting and loading
the right DOS drivers perhaps, but I had no easy directions as to which
ones and where to get these. It basically was for a one-time use, as
these were the backups of a what I had on a computer that gave up. I =
never
had this problem with type II cards.

in my old Compaq 386 NB there is one PS/2 connector for mouse  _or_
keyboard, I tried a Y-cable, but unfortunately it failed to work.
It seems to depend what kind of NB you use.
But it is worth a try.

Jorgen,
Where did you get the idea that the HP200LX is more powerful than
the Communicator?

The 9000 and 9000i both use an Intel embedded 386 processor
and the 9110 and 9110i both use an AMD embedded 486  processor.

All four machines have 2MB of program RAM (unlike the 640KB of the 200LX),
and they have the built in applications in XIP (execute in place) ROM
(just like the 200LX).

Having said that, I too would love to have VNC on the 200LX. I use it all the time.
At work and at home.

A thought: a good start may be to change the server end to support monochrome
 (1 bit per pixel) graphics if it doesn't already.


Mike

I have recently migrated from my PalmPilot to my 200lx. Various reasons, the
200lx was better for what I need. Anyway if I was getting a new Pilot I
would go for the TRGPro, it's a clone but it's got some extras that are nice
(compactflash slot, mp3 playback, more memory etc). I think the web site is
simply www.trgpro.com

Hi,

I know this is a group dedicated to the HP 200LX and I've been here
lurking for a long time.  I have an OB 530 question I'd like to ask
though and I hope that's okay.  I had to install a new hard drive on
my OB and, since it I bought it used, it came with no instructions as
to how to get the pop-out mouse working again.

It worked with the old HDD which screehed to a stop one fine day.  I
installed DOS 6.22 and Win 3.11 FWG.  It will work just fine with a
serial mouse but not its pop-out mouse.  How  do I go about resetting
it?

TIA,

Bill

The Citizen PN60i works fine via infrared from the 200LX, with the SysMan
print drivers available on SUPER.  Unfortunately, I haven't yet found a
way to print out of DOS apps like WordPerfect 5.1, et al.

I have just got my new modem and am having some problems getting it to work.
I am trying to get dosppp and lxtcp working.

I have run the d:\bin\cic100 /gen 1
I have configured a file c:\bin\dosppp\ppd.cfg

    asyncmap 0

    passwd "hello"
I then CD to c:\bin\dosppp and run pppd.exe
I get the following error:
    Abnormal Program Termination
    PPP link is down, driver not installed

Ideas anyone?
I am guesing that once I have run pppd and the connection is up I can then
run lxtcp and the other client programs.

I am using the 56k modem from thadeus and the att global network as an isp
(attempting to anyway!!)

Do you mean to have unmatched " in this line:

 connect "chat '' AT&F OK ATDT908459122401 CONNECT"

Also you could try other asyncmap settings, in case you have flow control problems.

There may be a debug mode for dosppp, there is for epppd.

This is certainly do-able.  It's been a while since I ran it,
but here's how (I think) I did it.

  * got the jeteye drivers from SUPER
  * put irjeteye.sys in c:\
  * put device=c:\irjeteye.sys com1 in config.sys
  * rebooted
  * ran serctl /i
  * ran jetutil -e

In WPerfect I used the Citizen GSX-230 printer driver and set
the parameters to COM1:2400,N,1,XON/XOFF.

Hope this works for you.

Hi all.

I was at a local computer shop today and saw an oldish box that had a
Belkin IR adapter for doing file transfers.

The box specifically mentions transfers with the HP100/200LX series and
Windows 95 machines, and also support for Sharp's ASK protocol (irda 1.0
was also mentioned in the brochure).

As usual, I forgot to note the model/part number.  The unit was $45.

Does anyone have one of these?

I don't see how an LX specific device can communicate with Win95 unless it
comes with software to let the Win95 machine do the SIR protocol used by
the LX.  IF that software could be made to work on the Omnibook (using the
built-in IR sensor) that'd be a find in itself.  The box came with one 3.5"
diskette.

Does anyone have one of these Belkin IRs?  I'm tempted to buy it (they only
had one left) if only to experiment.

- Longden

Well I guess Intellilink uses a SIR driver under Win95.  Admittedly it uses a server on the LX, so that could be an Irda driver instead.  However it is emphatic that you must not have the MS Irda running at the smae time.

I think your chat script is fine, I'm not sure what the comment
about the unmatched " meant.  I never got pppd.exe to work with
my modem and have always used epppd.exe.  My pppd.cfg  file has:

 com2
 38400
 crtscts
 user "xxxx"
 passwd "yyyy"
 namsrv xxx.xx.xx.x.
 namsrv xxx.xx.xx.x.

I specify the chat script in the call to eppd from a batch file,
as in:

  eppd file pppd.%1 connect "chat -t120 -fchat-%1.%2"

The replaceable parameters allow me to use multiple dial-up and
server configurations. Let me know if you need more description
of that part.

Correct.  Once you have it set up, it's a great way to go.

I should have mentioned that you don't need to make this
call in this way--it will work fine from the pppd.cfg file
if you have everything specified properly.

Yes, Win95 OSR2 .5 or better. IOW, not on a '425.

Hi friends,

does anyone know if PKZIP returns an errorlevel if it had problems
creating a ZIP file?

A few days ago I made a backup before deleting my whole C drive,
because I gave my main 200LX unit to my brother.
I THOUGHT I made a backup. PKZIP didn't finish because it had not
enough room on A. to create the backup ZIP file and terminated. I
didn't recognize it and deleted my C: drive........

:-((((

Now I had the idea to use an errorlevel in the backup BAT file that
starts a beeping program or something like that in case the PKZIP
program didn't write the ZIP successfully.

It sure does, and my backup batch file makes heavy use of them.  If you
want I can send you the batch file for an example.

And for some reason, not all notebooks can use the same Y-cable to allow
both keyboard and mouse at the same time.  I used one Y-cable  for years
with a Digital DECpc 433slc Premium and it did not work at all with my IBM
ThinkPad 365XD, but another cable - bought specifically for the ThinkPad -
did work with the same keyboard and mouse!

In order to use USB. you would need the latest Win95B but
Win98is preferred.  I suppose the PC Card interface for USB
comes with a driver and the USB keyboard has a driver.  I have
never used either of this devies, but my experience with USB
has been very positive so far.

The PC Card modem I found that is low enough power for the
200LX and has cellular capabilities with my Motorola SC725
phone is made by Apex Data (a division of SMART Modular
Tecunologies).  It is called the Mobile Plus Cellular V.34
Data/Fax Modem 33.6/14.4kps.

It is not X-jack, so it comes with a cable with the special
connecotr for the modem and a modular phone plug at the other
end.  The cel cable was seperate and specially made for this
modem and this phone.  Check carefully to make sure your
combination of modem and phone is supported.

The modem works great with land lines and the cel connections
are about as good as can be expected for analog cel calls.
Overall, I am pleased with the modem.  Many people use this
modem with the 200LX.

I have the same Apex modem for use with my Motorolla Startac
analogue phone and agree with Stan's positive report.

For portability I have cut the Modem to phone cable down
to 6 inches by cutting the wire then seperating out the
coloured wires inside & joining the wires (matching colour)
by twisting the copper & soldering with the joins staggered
so none will touch if my tape re-insulating failed.

Hi LX-GPSers,

can anybody tell me the algorithm to convert a track in

lat/long points into the GPS an changing the display to UTM,
but for the 2000 points I have this is too cumbersome and I
would like to do it in LOTUS.

Thanks in advance !

Hi Bill,

What you need to do is specify obmouse.drv as your mouse driver
in your system.ini. Also obmouse.drv must be in your \system directory.

You can find obmouse.drv and others on my site, look under:
Windows 95 on the Omnibook 530, Tip & Tricks, Installing Windows 95 on
the Omnibook 530, then scroll down to Omnibook Drivers.

I've got my LX running a backup during the night.  It runs pkzip just fine
but it doesn't exit back to the palmtop system after it's done.  Instead
it leaves the message:

Press any key to exit from DOS ...

on the screen and cannot execute anything else until it tended to.  Is
there an easy way to quit out of the batch and back to the system without
having to manually do a key press?

Just put the letter Q in the Location field (for Quiet) to suppress that
