Hi,
I followed the instructions from the palmtop.net regarding this.  I did
everything it says, except that instead of placing the programs in an A
drive it is in my f drive.

I always get the error, can't find file f:\m ....any key continues.
this prompt is from the gdspell program, not from dos.

If someone can help me, I would gladly appreciate it.

I have all 3 programs in my f:\gdspell directory
spell.exe
mf.exe
memochk.bat which has this line in it. (f:\gdspell\mf spell \M)
I also placed mf into my path file.

I think that it is the mf program that is not working right.  It doesn't
seem to be passing the last doc file from memo to the spell program.  I
am using a hp200lx 1mg w/ a 15 mg card jammed w/ 30+ mg.

TIA
Marta

Hello to everyone!

Does anyone know of a dictionary that has meanings with it (as opposed to
a spelling dictionary). Though I guess it would require a pretty big database
to be a useful reference...  But also much lighter than a corresponding
hard-copy dictionary.

Cheers

Two weeks!? What's your secret? My EXP also stays in all the time and
I never go online or use the modem without the adapter and I have to
recharge my 1200Mah NiMH's every 3 days or so! I have never seen as=

There are several old DOS-based apps that work good on the 200LX providing
that you have the disk space. The one I use takes about 3MB and some take as
much as 12MB. I found one the other day called:

"Random House Webster's Electronic Dictionary & Thesaurus College Edition"

It was published by the Wordperfect Corp back in 1993 and comes on 6-1.2MB
disks. I have not tried to install it as I do not have the disk space. One
thing strange about it is that it loads up as a TSR and can be called to
action with a keystroke combo. This is also the first one I have found with
a thesaurus included. It would porbably work better for someone running a
Software Carousel session that could be dedicated to a dictionary.

Keep you eyes open for old DOS titles with "American Heritage Dictionary" on
the box. They seem to work the best.

There's Jorj (shareware). Registered version upgrades the dictionary and
increases the size (I think) from 1mb to 5mb. The words appear to be
uncompressed, so I think there's some wasted space. I forget where I got
it from, but I think shareware sites still have it.

I use Framework-3, an integrated package that includes a spell-checker
with definitions (Merriam-Webster). The dictionary is compressed and only
takes up 222k (tho it needs the rest of the package to run and the whole
shebang is 2.2mb..spreadsheet,word-processor and database).

I believe also mentioned in the old list group (palmtop.net) was American
Heritage-Definitions Plus.

You'll have a hard time finding any DOS based dictionary these
days...mostly at the software liquidators.

Good hunting.

To which (with great knowlage and understanding) I reply...  I don't

But! I will watch myself for the next cycle (battery cycle) and see what
I might be doing to get the life I get from my batteries.
A question, how old are your nicads?

     Hi Folks,

     Just thought I would introduce myself as a new user of the 200LX
     and also of the list.

     My name is Ian and I have only been using the LX for a few weeks
     but I have found it to be incredibly useful, more so when I came
     across Buddy. I must be getting old, it's bad news (so I have been
     informed) when you get really excited about a piece of software
     like Buddy!

     Anyway, I have ordered the SDK which I am sure will answer many of
     my questions but I just can't wait and I know that there must be a
     wealth of knowledge/experience out there that can help me now.

     So:-

     1. Is there any way of removing/hiding icons that belong
        to 'built in' applications? ie ccMail etc!

     2. Anyone know of a good Database that is small enough yet
        powerful enough to handle in excess of 8000 records of
        up to 512 bytes/characters?

     3. I use a directory sort utility (DS.EXE from Norton Utils)
        when in DOS but this does not seem to work on the 200LX
        and reports "Directory not found"! Anyone any idea why?

     I will leave it at that for the moment. Have a great weekend
     as it starts in about 90 minutes - for me.....

     Regards
     Ian

Phil Drummond reported that he gets about two weeks out a set of
NiCd's, with his EXP modem/memory card always in place.  Ian Melville
commented that he has to recharge his NiMH's every three days or so,
with the same card.  Even if their usage patterns are the same, this
doesn't suprise me.

NiMH's are known to have a higher self-discharge rate.  I've seen
reports of them losing charge anywhere from 3 to 10 times faster than
NiCd's.   This is consistent with my experience with NiMH's in cell
phones.

By taking into account Ian Melville's, Jim Gonzalez's, and  my own
observations, it would seem that NiMH cells should be used in high
discharge  applications where recharging is not a problem and NiCd's are
better suited to median discharge applications where longer time between
recharging is required.  As an added note, I get less time from Alkaline
cells than I am currently getting from Rat Shack's 850mAh nicads.

WHY???????????????????
Remember you are a 200lx user and so are we. According to me dropping
price of WinCE will only make you (200lx users) disappear. So I will be
alone with the only dos based Palmtop and I won't have enough new progs
to have fun. 8-).

I choose a 200LX because
1.  It runs an operating system that probably has more applications written
for it in history than anything else
2.  The software is mature and lightweight
3.  I knew how to use it  :-)

If there is something new that can satisfy all these requirements and has
something more, I would not hesitate to switch.  Currently CE is at ver.
1.0  which means that the customers are doing the testing.  There arent
enough apps written too.  But all these are just 'teething problems'  they
will cease to exist in a few years.  Then I dont see a need for my 200LX
when better things are available.  To me its just a tool replace it when it
gets old or you get a better tool.

Subject:      200LX Market vs. WinCE
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

In a way, I am surprised that HP would try to market WinCE LX palmtops.

With the 95/100/200LX HP had 100% of the market.

With WinCE, HP has to share the market with several other vendors.

Even if the 95/100/200LX market is only 10% that size of WinCE, HP would still be ahead
because of less pricing pressures and 100% control of it's market.

It will be interesting how this develops, considering Microsoft's past successes (not!) in
developing new non-DOS/Windows platforms.

Phil, I use 1200mAh 1.2v NiMH batteries ('GP' brand). Started using=
 'em
last December. The battery states: 'standard charge 14Hrs. at 120mA'=
 but
of course they don't actually charge for more than about 5hrs with ABC/LX.=

Yes, it is a shame to be limited to all DOS 5.0 compatible software that
can run on an XT clone.  Sooooo limiting. 8)

A while back Surplus Software had a package called "The Writer's Toolkit" which includes a
whole suite of software, including the American Heritage Dictionary, Roget's II Thesaurus,
Concise Columbia Dictionary of Quotations, Abbreviation Expander, The Written Word III,
Dictionary of Common Knowledge, and CorrecText Grammar and Style Checker, all in a pop-up
TSR.  It's a little large for  the 200LX, but you do have the option of just installing
particular modules.  I've got the Dictionary and Thesaurus installed into 3MB of space on
a flash card (the dictionary itself takes up 1.9MB, and there are some index files as
well).  The TSR takes up 10K of memory, but it doesn't work well with the System Manager,
so it is best to use it in a separate Software Carousel session.  It is a pretty nice
program-- I'm not sure how many definitions it has, but it seems fairly complete.  Anyway,
check around and some surplus places might still have it.

Does that mean that the only reason you are (still) using a 200LX is
because of the current price of a WinCE box? If these boxes sell for=
 100
bucks there will likely be increased sales but the reasons for users
staying with the 200LX remain the same (at least for the foreseeable
future or at any rate until the Psion 5 captures a few hearts).

You shall never be alone here - trust me... <g> Up to today I was having=
 a
conversation with someone about DOS who also claimed that it is dead.
However this person uses Windows 95 both at home and in the office.=
 Guess
many don't realise what lies below Win95... :-)

When computer retail stores in the US recently dropped 200LX prices=
 some
folk thought that it signalled the end of the line for the 200LX (and
maybe some still do but I wouldn't wager on that yet <g>). Now that=
 WinCE
prices are also dropping what can we deduce from this...? Apart from=
 keen
competition lower prices are sometimes prompted by slumping sales -=
 no?

Maybe the bottom line hasn't been looking as good as expected. Is there
trouble in paradise already? <g> As I recall 200LX prices stood their
ground for more than 2-1/2 years...!

I have tried it from both the detail and summary screens and it works fine
and with Buddy loaded and not loaded in case there was a conflict with
buddys own link functions and all configurations work in the same way.

Highlight the item you wish to export do not enter the item just enter
{Menu} t , for the export function abd highlight where you want the info to
go todo aor appt seem to be the most useful then hit {enter} a few seconds
later you are back to project 200 and you can check with the appt mgr
whether the inf o is there, it will be inserted at the date the item was set
to commence.

Hope this helps

I disagree.  I believe WinCE is doomed.  It falls between the HP200LX on
one hand and Toshiba's Libretto on the other.  The 200LX's true
competition will be the libretto and I think there isw room enough for
both.  WinCE prices are dropping because it is a product without much of
a market.

I agree with Barry (that WinCE is doomed). It's like IBM PCJr, remember it?
Neither small nor a real machine.

I use HP because it is small AND is a real computer. However, I can't say
that working in DOS is so exciting, or that constantly synchronizing
databases is such fun. Programming is interesting, but I am not a
programmer. I need a tool. The moment there is fully functional Win95
computer, with lots of memory and storage, soundcard, etc, but the size of
LX200, I'm getting it. That moment is still a few months away, though.

Hi everyone,
  I'm still fairly new at using the 200lx (got a 4 meg model in feb.)
but I have found it invaluable already (beats the hell out of the
Franklin planner I had). I had some questions I thought some of you
oldtimers (ouch! don't take that literally) might be able to answer or
shed some light on.
   I need to use a database application (in paradox) which will require
me to use a memory card. Has anyone use majicram cards ?  How do they
perform ? I put together a database/application/speadsheet in Lotus on
the hp to do what I wanted, but it was really slooooow to load, It
killed me to watch.  Will a database on a memory card be quicker ? Such
as Paradox ? Also I hear a lot about access times on these cards. Am I
going to cringe with the speed when I get one.  I hate to invest several
hundred dollars in a card and feel like I don't have what I wanted. I
guess extra memory for Lotus is out due to it being in rom and the way
hp has it set up. I would also like to put a generic cadd program on the
card, but kinda wonder about screen writes on the hp200lx. Anything you
guys (or gals) could tell me would help. I know it would be old news for
some of you that has used the unit a while, but I plan on having mine a
long time. I also wonder about the speed upgrades, can you really tell a
significant difference ?
  On a different note (this probably isn't the right place, but people
that use hp tend to have hps), I have buddy that uses a 41cx and wants a
replacement (I can't get him to got to the 48 like the rest of the
world) If anybody knows where he could still find one (in like new
cond.) I would appreciate the info. Thanks in advance for your help. And
BTW, I check this list everyday, I really appreciate the info that gets
passed along. I am constantly amazed at what some of you can milk out of
this machine. Later

As an HP200 user, (and a laptop and a desktop..) I think we all choose what
tools work for us, and then look for affirmation of our wise decisions from
others that choose the same thing.

If I drive a station wagon and you drive a Corvette, we make think the
other is nuts, but each mode of transportation serves the purpose for which
it is chosen.

I believe it is the same with Wince, Zaurus, HP, Psion, Libretto... etc.
As strange as it may sound, one of the major decision points for the HP200
for me was the ability to use the cc:Mail.  I have since learned a lot of
other advantages to the 200 but had a Wince unit been able to have a better
interface into my company's cc:Mail, I might be using one of them.  (I also
got it used for $250 which didn't hurt the decision process..)

So, to each their own.. I'm just happy we have a whole list of people that
tell me how intelligent I am each day for choosing the "right" machine.
Guess it is a good thing I don't subscribe to the Wince mailing list where
they would be reaffirming my stupidity daily.

Cheers

Hal

Hi Terry

Welcome to the group.

As to the database question - have you looked at something like PC-File.
 It worked on XT's pretty well - it is a flatfile database (shareware).
 Version 5 is probably the most useable on the palmtop -later versions were
larger/more complicated.

I have a lot of different database programs, but I still use the built in
database for all of my service business records.

As to old HP stuff - including 41CX calculators - have your friend look at
the MOHPC (Museum Of HP Calculators) want ad page.

Good luck

Mike

Subj:  Re:OOPS!!!  HELP

Dropped my 200LX in the toilet (NO kidding!)  For a while, got blue screen,
then it dried and seemed to work.  However, when I tried to change the

PDA Reply:  Try a hard reboot. Press the left SHIFT key, CTRL, and ON at the
same time. Answer "N" to the question about reinitializing RAM disk.  If that
fails, let it dry thoroughly and it may recover.

Subject:      Sub-Totals in the Database Subsets?
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hi all,
        I'm using the HP200LX's database to do a lot of data entry.  I need to
look at this data sorted certain ways, so I've created subsets (i.e.
"reports") that display the data the way I want it to appear.  There
doesn't seem to be a way, though, to sum up the numeric fields into either
sub-totals or grand totals.  Now, I realize that I'm really asking for a
good report writer for the database!  Has anyone come across one???

Thanks,
Harris

Aside from the DBV program on SUPER, how do you deal with the slowness of
the program?   I have not felt encouraged to use it much because of that,
even though I love the ease with which you can develop databases on it.

Try Harry Konstas' DBVIEW or DBCALC. DBVIEW is available at the SUPER
site:   http;//www.palmtop.net/super.html

I think DBCALC is at the eddie site:
ftp://eddie.mit.edu/pub/hp95lx/NEW/

DBVIEW is a database viewer that includes a calculator for the numeric
fields. DBCALC is just the database calculator.

Hope this helps.

My business provides used car cosmetic repairs for auto dealers.  I use a
separate file for each of my dealers.  Each vehicle is a record - fields
for info I want to keep track of.  I use check boxes to track the steps
through my system. I have check boxes for -done- invoiced- paid- reported-
and sold.  I setup subsets of "all vehicles" - "not done" - "done/not
invoiced"- "invoiced/not paid"- and"paid/not reported".

As I process vehicles they move from one subset to another - when I check
"done" it moves from the "not done" subset to the "done/ not invoiced"
subset and so on.   So I work with subsets and go down the list in each to
"do" "invoice" "get paid" "report" "mark sold".  When the unit is sold I
don't need to track it any longer - so I can delete it then if I need the
room.

The speed has been fine for me.  There are only a few hundred records in
each file - searches (don't include  notefields in the search) don't keep
me waiting long.  Most of my use involves switching between subsets - this
is quick enough too.

I can see if you had a much larger number of records - or do searches on
note fields you could grow old waiting for the search to run

I am very happy with the built in database, too. My favorite DOS-based DBMS
is zoomracks, which is a little clunky on my 200 but works. My problem is in
sharing the DB info with my laptop. Zoomracks won't import GDB files that
have long notes. Zoomrack's greatest weakness is handling long input lines.

So...

I'm looking for a small DOS-based DBMS that will import GDB files after
they've been comma delimited through Steven Roth's gdbdump.exe. Gdbdump
handles the long notes very well, but I haven't found a program that will
import them.

I downloaded 19 different database progs from simtel today which I will
begin trying out tomorrow. Do you know of such a DBMS? I don't need frills.
I mostly want good browse-ability and a subset-like function. Small is
always a plus.
Is PC-File available over the NET? I couldn't find it at Walnut Creek
Simtel. I'm betting it's not small, but I'd like to check it out.
Thanx

Lynn, What other computer do you regularly take to the bathroom with you
because you can't imagine the anxiety of being without it? Does the warranty
include a hemorrhoid clause?

What an amazing package stuffed into 42K!!! But does it work???

Sorry, I couldn't find the original posting, but I don't remember it dealing
with the following questions:

Does the "point" function do any more than display the date?

Can anyone exlain the Dat/Sum option and the cost/date feature. The second
seems obvious but I'm curious why a Japanese speaker would choose the word
"date" over "day." And the first leads me to believe that re-calculating is
an option.

Under the options menu I can change what seems to be a template for primary
and secondary holidays. Is there a difference between choosing "init" and
"OK"? And are holidays chosen at the "summary" level merely initializers for
the "details" level where they seem cusomizeable?

In the diagram function, is there any difference between choosing "close"
"cancel" and "OK"?

Where does the HELP key really take me? I seem to be in a blank file. Most
of the features seem to work normally, but the "detail"-"summary" function
key is changed to read "return".

Is there a "re-calc" function? If I set up a schedule in chronological order
everything works fine. But as soon as I add something in the middle, or even
change the required time for one of the "details," carefully defined
dependent steps of my project (using "fix" on a few of these, including the
last one) are out of order. Some "details" shoot out of the boundaries I've
set up on the summary level. Some available days are not even used. I know I
must be missing something here.

On a similar note, is there a reverse action for the "Minimum" feature? As
far as I can tell it shrinks each "detail" down to one day and makes me work
on holidays. This is the closest I've come to finding a "re-calc".

Thanks for any input.

I used to run Revelation G2B on my LX - beats the heck out of any
toy database, it's a real developer's package, procedural language
not unlike PERL, query language less cryptic than sql, and the best part
is that  fields are variable length, white space is eliminted, you can
define multi-valued fields (child one, child2, etc.), you can do full
relational stuff between files (customer, invoices) and it actually runs
pretty well on the '186.  Prob'ly a meg of program.....

Can you top this?... I was running my new Garmin  II+ GPS into a
mapping program (APRS) on my old 100LX on a sailboat on a lake
in the California Sierras 2 days ago. Well, I flipped the boat while
fiddling with the electronics. The Garmin & HPLX were submerged
for about 3 minutes and then sat, wet, for another 30 minutes till
I got back to the cabin and my wife's hair dryer.

Result: The Garmin, advertised as water resistant, kept on ticking,
though it did lose satellite lock while it was under water, and
then reacquired in a minute after coming up for air. The batteries
didn't even short out while wet.

The HP100LX was flat dead. I blew it dry, removed the batteries
and backup battery, let it sit for a day, and yesterday afternoon
( ~ 24hrs) it started up like brand new. Since I had just backed up
to a flash card, I didn't even lose any data.

Hi,
        I just downloaded CLOSEFLR (or CLSFLR), installed it, ran it, but it's not
working!  I followed the instructions about running it after closing App
Manager, and about closing Filer through System Manager.  But when I press
F6 to close Filer, it just beeps at me!
        Any suggestions?  By the way, I just did some searching in the mailing
list archives and had a real hard time with it!  I did a search on CLSFLR,
and found some matches, but then it indexed a whole bunch of other e-mails
on other topics.

Thanks,

The Libretto is a line of sub-notebook computers.  The 50CT has a
75MHz Pentium with 16M of RAM expandable to 32M.  The US model comes with a
772M hard disk, the Japanese model has a 810M disk.  The two versions
have slightly different keyboards.  640x480 color TFT active matrix
display, built-in Sound-Blaster-compatible sound system, and a almost
full-size keyboard.  One PCMCIA slot, optional external floppy and CD.  About
half the size of a typical notebook machine, still  a LOT bigger than the
200LX.  Comes with Windows95 installed, people have successfully
installed WindowsNT and/or Linux on them.  You can get full details at
www.toshiba.com.  Just search for "Libretto".

We have one, my wife uses it for some of her stuff.  I find the
battery life to be poor (they claim 3-4 hours).  And the batteries will drain
if you leave it plugged in and turned on for a whole day.  Because it's
Win95, it's not the fastest booting machine in the world.  And you can't
turn it off by hitting the power switch.  You have to shut down Win95,
telling it to shut down.  It will then power itself off.

It is small, fitting nicely in a briefcase or a large purse.  But
because of its boot-up and shutdown processes, you don't want to use it just
to look up a phone number.  What a shame, since we got the one with
some nice PIM software, in addition to Word and Excel (all in Japanese).

Simply stated, it is just a small notebook machine, used the same way.
 Unlike our palmtops (and I hate to admit it, the WinCE machines),
which are ready as soon as you press the "ON" key.

I just bought a Magic Ram 40 meg card (which is SanDisk-made) and have
been very happy.  Access will always be slower from flash than from the
ram drive (c:) and slower than access to all modern hard disks for desktop
computers.

Nonetheless, I don't find it bad at all.  I often work in the Notebook
application and now store this on a: instead of c: (which freed up some of
c:).

Two answers:

1) Some limited totalling in DBView, a must-have utility for viewing GDB
and NDB files from DOS (find it on SUPER).

2) Export using GDBIO and suck into anything from Excel to Paradox.

Good luck.

Running the Connectivity Pack from DOS has never been a problem, but from
Windows 3.1 I keep getting the message "CPACK100 TSR is already loaded.
APP100 cannot be run."  I've checked everything I can think of in the
APP100.PIF, including restoring the original from the installation
diskette.  I've checked the files= and buffer= settings in config.sys as
well.  I have TRANSFILE WIN 200 and like it for most things, but there are
some that I find easier with the Connectivity Pack.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

The problem is that FILER needs to be open when you press F6 to close.=

Just open filer, then press &...(More) to open AppMgr, THEN press=
 F6
to close FILER. That should work.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I am pleased to announce the first public beta of "LXFileman", a Tcl/Tk
graphical file manager for manipulating HP 200lx files from a Linux/UNIX
workstation.

LXFileman requires a Tcl/Tk installation, including the X11 application
"wish". It was developed on a RedHat Linux/Intel system using Tcl/Tk
4.2/7.6.

LXFileman is merely a front end to Andreas Garzotto's *excellent*
LXTOOLS package. It will not work with the latest official LXTOOLS
release, but includes modified LXTOOLS source so you can build your own
binaries.

While LXFileman is designated "beta" level software, it functions very
well for me and seems quite stable. Please give it a try and let me know
how it works for you -- if I don't get any bug reports, it will never
get past "beta"!

You can get the whole package from the S.U.P.E.R. site,
   http://www.palmtop.net/supernew.html

A good friend of mine has worked for HP for many years.  He is an avid 200

in stock HP will continue to "support and sell" them.  He expects them to
disappear as soon as inventories are gone.  Not fact, just credible hearsay.

Mime-Version: 1.0

Hi everybody,

I have experienced some strange things with my 200LX since I started using a
PCMCIA modem.

When I put my USRobotics 28.8 modem in the slot the powerbar in Setup
immediately drops to zero and stays there for as long as I use the modem. I do
not get the MAIN BATT LOW message, and when the modem is removed the powerbar
returns to normal. Setup also tells me that the Card Battery is OK. Does this
mean that the PCMCIA modem has its own battery? None of these things happens
when I use my ethernet card. I use alkaline batteries.

Are these things normal, or should I have my 200LX checked?

Best regards

1. To my knowledge, every USR 28.8 card ever made exceeds the 200LX's
   150mA limit on card slot current.  You're lucky the LX works at all
   with that card in place.

2. You should never insert a PC Card in the 200LX with the power on.
   There is a warning about this on page 1-7 of the user's guide, with a
   vague warning about potential data loss.  From what I've been able
   to piece together, this is an electrical limitation that can result
   in malfunction due to disturbances in the power supply and data
   bus.

3. I recently discovered a posting to comp.sys.palmtops, via Deja News,
   that explained that the two pins that are used for card battery
   status in memory cards are used for other purposes in I/O cards, and
   that the 200LX doesn't manage this intelligently.  Another posting
   (by Tom Gibson) from the same thread noted that the "card battery
   low" message appears when using the Silicom ethernet card, which is
   a low-power card that is known to work with the 200LX.  The bottom
   line is that card battery status information for an I/O card is
   often bogus, and apparently harmless.

I am interested in hearing from anyone who has purchased Times2
Techspeed upgrade.  I am considering it but would like to know if there
are any drawbacks other than those listed by the Times2 company on their
website.  Are there programs it is not compatible with?  Would you do it
again?  I purchased a 4MB memory upgrade from them and have been very
satisfied.

Jim,
I have the 8 mg upgrgade and the speed chip.  No problems at all.  I really
enjoy having the ability to store all the programs I normally use on the
C:\drive.  I use diet and this gives me plenty of space.  I don't use buddy
nor do I use (yet) emm. I can't report on those programs.  the programs I
use most are:
wwwlx
PalEdit
Post/LX
Qfax (I like this better than MiniFax because I can use a logo and signature
on the fax)
MSMail remote (connect to office email system)
RLink (connect to the office server)
Intellilink
HP Connectivity Pack
LxPic
Two Dos based statistical packages (SimStat & Stats)
My comm programs are on my Thinfax modem card.

all perform well with my new setup.
regards
Ron

Hi Jim,
   I have the speed and RAM upgrades. I installed them myself as
it sounds like you are going to. The crystal was not too hard
if you have soldered before.
   Once installed you HAVE to have the driver from Times2 installed
all the time or the screen is funny. Just make a backup
copy on a flash ram card in case you loose your C: drive on the
HP while you are on a trip or something. If you don't have a
flash card, I can't recommend the upgrade for that reason.
   Otherwise, the speed upgrade is great. Everything that I've tried
works fine. I have used comm programs with an internal modem just
fine; I have not tried the serial port at all but it is supposed to
be OK with the driver in place. The extra speed is nice,
"speed200" shows the system as the same as a 6MHz AT. (varies
with screen mode).  I suppose that there are some real old arcade
games made for the old XT only that might be too fast.
  Hope this helps
-Bryan

Subject/ Announcing LXFileman, a UNIX/Tk file manager

I am pleased to announce the first public beta of "LXFileman", a Tcl/Tk
graphical file manager for manipulating HP 200lx files from a Linux/UNIX
workstation.

LXFileman requires a Tcl/Tk installation, including the X11 application
"wish". It was developed on a RedHat Linux/Intel system using Tcl/Tk
4.2/7.6.

LXFileman is merely a front end to Andreas Garzotto's *excellent*
LXTOOLS package. It will not work with the latest official LXTOOLS
release, but includes modified LXTOOLS source so you can build your=
 own
binaries.

While LXFileman is designated "beta" level software, it functions very
well for me and seems quite stable. Please give it a try and let me=
 know
how it works for you -- if I don't get any bug reports, it will never
get past "beta"!

You can get the whole package from the S.U.P.E.R. site,
   http://www.palmtop.net/supernew.html

I think Peter posted the announcement to this list before sticking it over
on USENET. I guess I was the only beta tester and I've got to admit that I
was impressed with how quickly it came together. I'm using it under Linux at
115200 IR through a Jeteye and it works great. Now the program really needs
a nice 48x48 pel XPM for all of us X Window dudes (all two of us...).

Hello;

I got both the memory upgrade and the speed upgrade about 1 month ago. Both
work fine. as far as I can tell, there are no "real" programs that are
incompatible with it. Perhaps you would have a problem with games; I do tknow
that the driver has a hot key sequence to toggle bettween fast and an
artificial "slow" mode. Should a program that you have mess around with some of
the timer interrupts, you may also experience problems with that. However, I'm
not sure exactly how the driver works, so I can6t say for certain.

Programs that I have tried:
Buddy  4Dos  DosPPP05  TrumpetTCP  CUTCP Telnet  Wattcp Utilities  HV
C.Cameron's Card Games  All of the built in apps

Terry, if you require a speedy card then I suggest you go for one of=
 the
Sandisk models. I have recently setup some programs for a colleague=
 of
mine on an 8Mb Sandisk and I can tell you that this thing screams! It=
 is
the fastest ATA flash that I have come across and will outrun almost
anything other than the built-in C: drive... :-) For some operations=
 I
could scarcely see a difference, ie: swapping MaxDos to C: or A: produced
almost no discernible difference! These cards have traditionally been
quite expensive but the prices (from NSW) are very competitive now.

I suggest you have a look at these cards before making your final
decision.

There are two excellent full-featured CAD programs that are available
AFAIK and one smaller 'Drawing' program. Of the two CAD progs 'Draft
Choice for the 200LX' is my favourite. I tried it several months ago=
 and
found it to run very well indeed with reasonable speed. Took if off=
 my
drive only because I had no real use for it at the time plus it ate=
 about
1.5Mb as I recall. This program is available on
www.palmtop.net/super.html

I cannot remember the name of the other CAD program but the drawing=
 program
is called PalDraw. Not really a CAD program but is very useful and it=
 also
has the look and feel of the built-in applications. Can also export=
 its
native files to a standard dxf file format. Sorry I don't have the URL=
 but
I believe it can be found on Ariel Rocholl's palmtop site maybe someone=
 can
help with the URL.

> I also wonder about the speed upgrades, can you really tell a
> significant difference ?

An excellent choice! I haven't had my machine clock-doubled as yet but
shall very soon! I understand that it makes the 200LX sing like a lark...
:-)

Hi all,

one of my good friends did the Times2Tech RAM and speed Upgrade on
his 200 some time ago and he still have some strange problems :

- can't use the full capacity of his 80Mb ACE flash card because
the driver used to compress data doesn't work with the upgrade, he
can use 40 Mb.

- can't use neither his accurite "travel floppy" nor his accurite
"double slot" again because  the driver doesn't works since the
upgrade...

ANY help welcome ...

Matt.

There is a file on the SUPER Site called ds_pat.zip that is a beta version
of a patch to make the Accurite work with double speed machines. Go to:

http://www.palmtop.net/supernew.html

and search for slot.

Hello everyone,

such type of field. Is there a way to define a calculated field there?.
Thanks in advance.

Got a new/used Megahertz XJ1144 from one on the list.  (Smiles)
Powered down the HP100LX like a good user.
Inserted the modem and hit the on button. . . and hit the on button . . . and
hit the on button.
Nada.  Zip. (Frowns)
Said to self, "Self, we have a problem."
Removed said modem card. Hit the on button.
Zip.  Dead as a hammer.  (Minor panic)
Removed all batteries and did a brain dead cold start.  Got it back OK.
(Great sigh of relief).
Modem checks out fine in the big notebook.

What's the deal here?  Anybody been there before?  The XJ1144 is supposed to
be within the 150 ma. limit.

would not consider having an x00LX, and not having the upgrade done, if i

i spent a lot of time searching the net for opinions before i took a chance

my advice:  get the speed upgrade.

I think there are no comparison that can be made between an organizer
(like Windows CE machines or the HPLX) and a mini notebook like the
libretto or the IBM PC110 because the battery life and access time is
dramatically different !!!

It takes hardly no time to gain access to pieces of info in an
organizer... whereas it usually takes relatively long on a notebook
(under normal circumstances like when you don't have your notebook
plugged in all the time (the resume mode is quite fast...)

Of course the processing speed is very different... Nobody can argue
here ! BUT, one of the most important issue in a portable device is its
battery life: imagine the relief of having an autonomy of several weeks
!

The conclusion is that I don't think anybody will succeed (in the
immediate future) in using (to its maximum efficiency)a mini notebook
(whatever its size) like the Libretto as we all use our PDA.

Color screens, fast licro processors and large capacity HD are far too
energy consuming and batteries definitely seem not being able to keep up
with the increase of performance.

Long live to the HPLX and the WinCE machines !

I personnaly stuck to my 100LX which I find more efficient despite its
age; I most appreciate the Dos compatibility and the access to such a
huge library. And I find the built-in apps a lot more comprehensive then
the Win CE's. I guess things will change as more buyers turn towards
WinCE, but in the mean time...

Thanks for listening to me

My French is rusty, but he says that he is a French student spending a year in
Canada. He wonders if the 4 MB upgrade is available in France and if so, how
much it costs.

Some folks speak different languages than we do.

FYI, 99 F Main Street is the address of Mailboxes, Etc., a private
mailbox service.  Directory assistance has no listing for "Wholesale
Products", although the phone numbers provided are in an exchange
assigned to Stoneham.  It could be a small business operating out of a
home, a retailer with an alter ego, or a scam.  You decide.  There are
plenty of better-known mail-order sources for the 4MB 200LX, at about
the same price.

I bought a 20Mb flash card from Ace 2 years ago, it's been working fine
so far. The only disappointment was that I often get frustrated having
to wait a few seconds for the card to go through its consistency
verification process each time the unit is turned on... Since I'm a very
heavy user and turn on and off my HP100LX a hundred times per day, I
would like to know if anyone of you has experienced the same snag with

I had the same thing with an IBM 40mb flash card.  It would usually take
about 1-1.5 seconds for the 200LX to start responding to keystrokes once
I turned it on if the flash card was in.  However, a Verbatim 40mb flash
card was much faster-- virtually indistinguishable from turning it on
without a flash card.  The Microtech ram card I have now takes a brief
pause, less than the IBM, but more than the Verbatim.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT

Greetings to the Mailing List,

It is probably inevitable that something as fundamental as batteries
should periodically fuel discussion, as current messages indicate.
What is not so evident is whether the most important aspect is cost or
convenience, since we cannot have both.  The latter is clearly
uppermost in the mind of David Sargeant on Thursday, 31Jul 1997:-

> Snip

David may be nearer to the truth than he thinks, but that's another
story for later.  However, of the two ways to greatly reduce or even
eliminate cost, one is immediately achievable.  Crombie Redd has to be
thanked for this idea, which he described elsewhere in
comp.sys.palmtops and also passed on to our Australian group.  I
recently decided to take up his idea and in turn pass on my experience
for the benefit of other power-hungry users.

On 12 Jul 1997, Crombie said to me:-

> By far the cheapest solution is to go to your nearest "fast photo"

> Snip

I quickly found out that the two nearest photo places in the City
(Adelaide) had already agreed to supply used batteries to someone for
a project (another Palmtopper in Adelaide?).  The nearest Kodak shop
likewise had a regular "customer".  They also said that the throw-away
cameras were recycled.  However, my neighbourhood Kodak place was very
helpful and soon I had a shopping bag a third full batteries!  This is
where convenience, or lack of it, starts to bite into cost, or lack of
it.  The bag had a mixture of battery types, which had to be sorted
out and tested, this taking several hours.  I include a summary of the
results, since some of the non-AA-size batteries could be useful for
other applications. It must also be said that I am not a battery
expert and at that stage did not have a specific tester.

Of a total of 317 individual batteries, there were 110 of the AA 1.5v
types, 14 of these being the ordinary zinc kind, leaving 96 alkalines
(no lithiums) of interest.  Of the remainder, there were 56 3v
lithiums still in double packs and 74 single 3v lithiums, both
representing two different sizes.  Apart from 10 odd small batteries
that I've never seen before, the rest were silver button lithium
batteries in various sizes (18 large, 26 small and 3 narrow but long
(6v?)).  The large size is the same as the back-up battery in the
Palmtops.

I used the disposable tester for AA batteries that comes with some
packs of Duracell alkalines.  It tests batteries under slight load and
allowed the 96 alkalines to be divided up into dud, bordering on
"good" (which I shall call poor), just into "good" and truly "good".
I then compared the groups with a voltmeter having graduations of
0.2v.  The poor group registered around 1.3v, leaving the "good" group
at 1.3-1.4v and the truly "good" group at +1.4v.  I took samples of
the two last-mentioned groups and inserted them into my 100LX.  The
truly good group produced a "full" indication on the Palmtop, whereas
the 1.3-1.4v group were just below full.  This is the only practical
way that was available to make a reasonable assessment.  From past
experience, the truly good group could be used straight away, the
other good group would do better with a boost on a Greencell
regenerator just before use and might give half normal life, possibly
able to take another boost.  In terms of numbers, there were 42 duds,
26 poor, 16 good and 12 truly good.

I have had time to test only some of the other sizes using the meter
and about a third of them would be useable as good to truly good.

What all this seems to mean (and my Kodak dealer may not be typical
regarding turnover of batteries) is that only about a third of the
batteries available are AA cells, none lithium. Of these, only around
a third would be worth re-using immediately; and this figure was
similar in the other groups of batteries, which could, of course, be
used for other purposes.  In summary, about a ninth of what I was able
to get from Kodak was worth immediately putting into my Palmtop.
However, this should keep me going for months.

So there you have it - free batteries!  Hope it helps.  Next time I
shall ask Kodak, if it is not too difficult, to have the AA cells kept
separately.

Happy Palmtopping,

Barry Collins

The person can comment out the ACECARD.COM driver in the config.sys on the
uncompressed portion of the card.  They need to call me and I can get both
problems fixed.

Accurite has newer drivers that work with my speed upgrade.

Please relay this info for me and have the person who did the upgrades
contact us.

I've got a 20MB kingston Ata flash card I don't have any problem
may be a little delay but i think it's less than 1 second, so i can
stand it.

Well, my survey results are in, although the turnout was underwhelming
to say the least.  Seven people voted out of the 350 members of this list=
.

But, here's what people say:

Five people who responded to the survey wanted TinyTalk.  (An additional
5-6 asked me about it without responding to the rest of the survey.)

Two people have the SDK. Some had not even heard of such an animal.

Four people are interested in forming a programming group.

Four people use Linux.

One person was interested in researching a PCMCIA-IDE controller.

As far as myself -- I have TTalk 1.09, I don't have the SDK, I'm inter-
ested in forming a programming group (that's why I asked), I use
Linux, and I don't have an IDE controller.

Frankly, I'm disappointed.  Apparently this group has far more mute
people than I thought.  I think this list should be for people with more
than a passing interest in this great machine.  It is too bad that there
are people, in this relatively private realm, who listen in without
actively contributing to the group.  I try to answer questions for people
when they post them to this group; but I would guess 150 people just
don't talk at all, which is sad.

All right, I'll get off my soapbox now.  Hey, I'd like the following peop=

I'm thinking there's a port of gcc to DOS but I'm not sure.  I am sure,
however, that there is a gcc cross-compiler which runs under Linux
but compiles under DOS.  Don't know if this helps...

BTW, I think there is someplace on the SimTel site which maintains
GNU code compiled for DOS.  I'm not sure but you can check it
out at http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/

Found the GNUish mirror on SimTel.  GNUish btw is a project that maintain=

and GNU Plot, although you will have one _hell_ of a time finding an ANSI

Apparently, gcc only runs under a unix (such as Linux), but not under DOS.
There is the ELK project going, to port Linux to 16bit PCs, but it's not
done yet ... Also, gcc is pretty big and not written with efficiency as
a first concern (though it's very good in other ways), so it might not be
great on the lx, anyway.

BTW if Linux did run on the lx, it would be the first unix palmtop
(I think). But I think getting linux running on the 320lx would really be
something worthwhile. Anybody know of anyone working on it?

Because, I am concluing, PC Card support on the 200LX was engineered
during the early days of the standard, and never updated.   The
fundamental problem is that most currently-shipping devices ship with
software that expects the host to have Card and Socket Services built
in or installed.  As near as I can tell, the 200LX supports cards
strictly through dedicated drives, called point enablers.  If you can't
find a point enabler for the card, or install Card and Socket Services,
you're out of luck.  SystemSoft, which wrote CIC100, no longer supports
old DOS systems, they told me today.  One Usenet poster last year
reported that Phoenix PCM+ didn't work for him.  That leaves Award and,
perhaps, Intel Card Manager.

> What is the qlogic?  It4s like Adaptec or Future Domain?

QLogic is a hardware manufacturer, headquartered in California.  Their
web site is http://qlogic.qlc.com/.  You'll find reference to their
PCMCIA SCSI adapters under Products->QLA->Retired Products.
They offer a driver package that appears to include a point enabler, for
download.

You may not be aware, but the world does not end at the US border and
there are other languages than English.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of the computer world, and, indeed, the
Internet, speaks English.  One can not expect to speak his native non-
English language on the Internet and be understood by very many people.

English is the standard, and that's that.  If you can speak it, you can =
make
it in this world.  If you can't, you're up shit creek.  It's that simple.

I'm not trying to be hard-headed or cruel, but that's they way it is.  =
I applaud
those few US citizens who can speak multiple languages, and I applaud
non-domestic people who can also speak English.  But you can't expect to
go around blithering in French and be understood by many people, just
like you can't go around Japan and speak English and be understood.

I personally can speak English, with Spanish and have crash-course worth =
of
Latin.  So you know I am not being YA idiot North American in the eyes =
of
foreign (non-US) people.

Sounds like it was a joke to me.  But it seems to have touched a nerve on many people...

What we need, of course, is a plug-in translation module for Post/LX!  We can have modules
for English, Spanish, French, Pig Latin, and whatever other fine languages we HP'ers
decide to use... :)

To download PC-File try shareware.com

select DOS as the platform and do a search on pc-file - should turn up 20
files.

There are several versions from PC-File III version 4 through PC-File 6.5

I suggest version 5 - I have a friend who uses it a lot and likes it.
Memo fields can contain 5000 characters
Including the doc file to print out the manual it took about 1.9 meg.

PC-File III version 4 is much older and is pretty small  Zip file is 193K.
pcfile.exe is 44,592 bytes  total in directory is 342,744 including
compressed Docs -  It is simple and not flashy - but LOTS of folks loved it
way back when - and it could still be useful on the palmtops

I'm still sticking to the built in database app -  it works for me.

- good luck!

I am very happy with the built in database, too. My favorite DOS-based DBMS
is zoomracks, which is a little clunky on my 200 but works. My problem is
in
sharing the DB info with my laptop. Zoomracks won't import GDB files that
have long notes. Zoomrack's greatest weakness is handling long input lines.

So...

I'm looking for a small DOS-based DBMS that will import GDB files after
they've been comma delimited through Steven Roth's gdbdump.exe. Gdbdump
handles the long notes very well, but I haven't found a program that will
import them.

I downloaded 19 different database progs from simtel today which I will
begin trying out tomorrow. Do you know of such a DBMS? I don't need frills.
I mostly want good browse-ability and a subset-like function. Small is
always a plus.
Is PC-File available over the NET? I couldn't find it at Walnut Creek
Simtel. I'm betting it's not small, but I'd like to check it out.

Hello All,

I notice that you can not send E-Mail to the list form an E-Mail
account which is not on the HP Recieving list.

I have an E-Mail address with one of those free internet based
forwarding services.  I can have any mail sent to it forwarded to any number of
email addresses, and or stored there for access via the internet,
according to filters.

This allows me to have my E-Mail forwarded to wherever is most
convenient for me at that particular time, ie, when I travel.

Is there any way for me to enter my other E-Mail addresses into the
list for sending E-Mail to the list, but not recieving fom the list?

Thanks

Nearly correct their site is http://www.qlc.com

They no longer sell their PCMCIA products and concentrate on
semiconductors as well as high end PCI host bus adapters for ultra
SCSI and Fibre Channel

I use Borland Turbo C 2.0. Quite small, fast, and stable, but no C++.

I think it will not. I use DJGPP, whicj is the DOS port of the GNU
compiler. Its one of the greatest pieces of software I've ever seen (and
the quality/cost relationship tends to infinitum since it's free). BUT, the
compiler is 32 bit, AND the code generated is 32 bit too, so, no chance to
compile for 8086, sorry.

>BTW, I think there is someplace on the SimTel site which maintains

I can confirm that. I know that those programs are not 32 bit, so they'll
probably work on the 200LX.

Hi:

I'm plannig to do the speed upgrade myself, and as an electronics designer,
I'll probably be able to request the crystal as a sample. So, I have some
questions for user who have already done the upgrade:

1- The FAQ states the requires crystal for speed doubling is 31.673550 MHz,
is this information accurate ?

2- Is replacing the crystal the only hardware modification to be done ?

3- How noticeable is the battlery life shortening ?

Thnaks in advance. Nacho.

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

Hi, everybody:

I'm a brand new user of a HP200LX. Great machine. I'm no DOS fan, but I
choose it because there is plenty of easily available programming tools for
it, plenty of software for it, and full hardware information about it
(though you have to buy the SDK).

It's DOS, so that means it's well known and fully documented (even
undocumented tips). Because of all that, Win CE machines were totally
discarded by me.

Another thing I do like of this machine (and palmtops in general, maybe
excludig Win CE machines, but it's probably because I hate W) is that
because of it's speed and storage limitations programs MUST be small and
efficient.

I plan program a lot on the 200LX, and when thinking about the storage
limitations got some ideas I would like to share with everybody in order to
get your comments, and posibly start a programming group:

When you create a new program using a C compiler, an important percentage
of it's size are the libraries. Just try to compile and compare two
programs: one with just a void main function and other with a printf
(printf uses to be one of the largest library functions). Another good
example would be the floating point library.

I guess that's the reason because of which the concept of shared libraries
was born, and thats more or less what I would like to do with the HP200LX.

I tought that if I make three programs, most of the library code will be
the same, thus wasting my precious -and expensive- flash card space. So,
wouldn't be great to have some kind of dynamic linking ?.

I would like to hear about ANY suggestion for implementations, but
meanwhile, there are mines:

1- 'Real' dynamic linking. This would require an special stub loader in
each EXE, which loads the real program in memory, seeks for the libraries,
loads the required functions, and finally performs the linking. I still
have to think about this, but I guess it will need an special linker for
the compiler, and one of my goals is to do it as compiler-independent as
possible.

2- When compiling, substitute library functions by inlined INT calls. This
is very easy. But where to place libraries ?... always in memory ?. Maybe
having only in memory a driver that loads the required libraries when they
are first requested.

I know there are lots of side problems, like the fact that maybe in the
moment the programs calls a function DOS is not ready to load a file from
disk. Moreover... when to unload libraries ?... when the program finishes ?.

The good thing is that for each compiler, we would only have to rewrite
each library function as an inlined INT call (which is almost just a -big-
typing task).


Well, I'll keep on thinking about this stuff, but as I said, would like to
hear any comments/suggestions to see if it's worth and the best way to do
it. Remember, I'm just new to 200LX, not an experienced user.

Regards. Nacho.

I believe the name is PPC, a shareware c compiler on the CD that is
available from The Palmtop Paper. If you are getting the SDK from them
then you will have a copy on the same CD. I do not have the CD here but
can check on it later. If you want I can zip it up and e-mail it to you
tomorrow. (not via the list).

I've had the speed upgrade for over a year on a brand NEW machine! I've had
no problems with it. In fact, I like it so much I'm sending my second
machine in for upgrade this week.

The usual disclaimer apply i.e. you'll lose whatever HP warranty you might
have had once the case is opened. Also the old Ace Double Flash needs some
reconfiguring of its driver in order to be accessed properly.

Good luck.

Subject:      flash cards
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I'm in the process of purchasing a flash card for my 200LX. I'm interested
in people's experiences on the following.

- Linear vs. ATA flash cards: I've noticed that ATA cards are a little
cheaper and seems more versatile as they can also be used in CE machines.
Are there any draw backs to them?

- Manufacturers: Are there any significant differences in the speed,
reliablility, durability, etc. among the different manufacturers of the
cards e.g. Sandisk vs. MagicRam vs. Viking. I've heard good things about
Sandisks but they seems to cost a little more.

Thanks.

I have 20 MB ATA Card from Kingston.
It is very good product. It work with JAM compressed to 50 MB.
In next month I purchase second card, also from this manufacturer.

FYI most are made by relatively few manufacturers.  You need to ask to be
sure.  My Magic Ram card, for example, was made by SanDisk (and I got a
good price).  Alix and Viking are the same, as well.

You might try *testing* a URL before declaring that it's incorrect.
The one I posted was what was reported by AltaVista, and what I used to
explore their site.

It's likely that QLogic subsequently adopted the standard form (what
you reported), but AltaVista continues to report the first one it saw.

Anyone got one?

Hi Dave & Group:

        You can subscribe from all the accounts you want to post from,
then set all but the one you want to receive from to "NOMAIL". I set=
 up
the list as private so only listed subscribers could post to make
"spamming" more difficult!

        What has worked for me in the past is to edit out the message

I don't know about a Tomigotchi (sorry I knw that's misspelled) for the HP, but
it would be a neat program to have!!! My kids love their little egg-shaped
toys, so it would be fun to try it on the HP. The closet thing I know of is a
program called JoeSim. It's kinda a artificial intelligence program that's fun
to play around with. There's a version for the HP that even includes the icon.
It's available at http://www.uoguelph.ca/~aoniszcz
I've got it loaded on my HP and it runs great!!! If anyone does come up with a
Tomigotchi type program for the HP, please let me know.

I suspect most, if not all, of his European readers will have had no
problems whatsoever. In Europe, we all learn at least one second
language at school, usually French.

Actually, you probably *can* get away with English in Japan - they
also understand the value of speaking a second language.

Unfortunately, what you said only serves to fan the flames of
isolationism, and you would have been better advised to have
criticised the fact that some parts of the world are very insular. You
have learnt other languages, and this is to be applauded - you should
encourage your fellow citizens to do likewise.

It's worth checking places like the Simtel archives for freeware or
shareware compilers. There are some out there. Also try

I am glad that someone puts this on the agenda. I wonder whether

You might look for the Oxbow C compiler.  If I recall correctly, it can
compile for 16, 32, and 64 bit systems on a wide variety of platforms.
It runs under DOS, I believe.  I'll check around on my hard drives to
see if I have it and will keep you guys posted.  OxCC is a very nice
compiler, although it may not support some types of SDK libraries, I
don't know.

QuickBASIC, though not the fastest program in the world, can dynamically
link its runtime library with a compiled executable,  BRUN45.EXE, a speci=
al
runtime executable which contains the runtime library and dynamic linker,
can be shared by any program which was compiled with QB 4.5.

Programs which deal with graphics display can load LXPIC and use it
as a driver.  More programs should be built like this, small utilities =
which
can run on their own but have full programmer's interfaces.

LXPIC takes 64K so it may not be useful to load and unload it all the tim=
e.
The other side of the coin is the RAM disk, which runs as fast as DOS
conventional RAM.  Virtual memory is as quick as main memory, which is
the basis of EMM200, another nice utility.

Let this thread stop with this message.  I understand that many people
wish to speak their native non-English language on the Internet.  But the
fact is is that many more people do not understand French than do not
understand English.  It is in the interest, in my opinion, of this group =
that
we speak English so that we can understand one another.  I am not
going to go into the social and political aspects of this, but most peopl=
e
here speak English either as a first or second language and that we
should speak here.

And what are we talking about here, the 200LX or spoken languages?
I mean, gee whiz, people. ;)

There's also Power C from MIX software, which sounds pretty good (havent't
tried it myself) The other good thing is that it's only $20. I would have
gotten this if I didn't have Turbo C++ already.

Good luck.

Hello all you Time2 Speed upgrade owners;

I have a 200LX with 1 meg, and another with a times2 upgrade and five
megs ram. When I try to transfer data between them using filer it works
fine, until I try to transfer a LARGE file, such as 3-400 k. Then the
connection breaks somehow. Does anyone have any idea why this might be?

The difference between what is "needed" on the HP and dynamic link
libraries, is that DLL's allow you to have access to the same functions for
multiple program instances which are in memory at the same time. On the HP
you dont really have this problem as you are really only running one
DOS program at a time. However, you have multiple copies of library code
etc etc on "disk" (Which is also memory). Here a great saving can be made
by loading the libraries from a disk image at run time. The best example of
this is Stefan's LXPIC which is specifically designed with this in mind.

The problem is of course that you have different compilers and multiple
memory models so if you were to create, for example a PAL.COM file with the
PAL library functions in it, you would have to use the large memory model
in order to support all providers. And how many PAL programs do you have on
your HP, and how many of the authors of theose programs would rewrite their
code in order to use PAL.COM and not just link in the PAL libraries.

IMHO the space saved != the effort involved

But YHO is always respected!

Kermit.  It's good as a terminal, although it will _eat you alive_ with =
file
transfers.  It has VT100/102/52, ANSI, TTY, and Tek4010 terminal
emulation (With Unices incl. Linux, connect your big computer to the
palmtop and do a complicated Gnu Plot drawing.  The results are quite
impressive.).

Francois,

I've never tried it out on the LX but take a look at Pacific C:

http://www-eng.tp.ac.sg/student/cprog/pacific.exe

It's 700K zipped. It has it's own IDE that, (although nice) if included in
this archive can be gotten rid of. Claims it's mostly compatible with MS C++.

It may not work on our lowly 186's but it's worth a look.

If it works let us know.

Good, but would like to keep away from BASIC as much as possible. In fact,
I think by now  I just don't even remember how it was.

Thanks. I'll do some programming about dynamic linking with my old Turbo C
2.0. I'll post my experiences.

hello programmers,

I developpe a sort a DLL system which have three composants :
programs(applications), ressources(libraries) and DLL manager(TSR patcher=
)

1) each library have number (0-255) and in that library each
resources(function) have a number too (0-255).

2) when a program need a ressource, it ask the manager the library(L) and
the ressource(R) it wants (0xLLRR).

3) the DLL manager looks if the library is loaded, if not, loads it, then
search the function. If it finds it, It patchs the program to transform t=
he
ask of ressource by a far call or a far jump to that function.

4) the freeing of ressources (is a ressource ...) can be call in a
application, or by command line, when the user wants it.

5) for the moment, I developpe some utilities like lxtools, each programs
(lxdir, lxget, lxput, ..) use the dll where there is the filer protocol,
another one where there is the communication (COM1) functions, and some
others, for utilities  (long to ascii, CRC, ..).

short mail are better, so if somebody needs more details : ask, I proball=
y
can do more, even in french  (y a-t-il des fran=E7ais ?) ;-)

That's exactly what I meant with my message. No need to share code at
execution time, but to share library code on storage. What I would like to
do is a 'common' standard C library that could be run-time linkable.

At the first moment, I thought that maybe replacing library calls in the
program by inlined INT calls, and loading the whole library in memory,
hooked through that INT, would be enough. But that goes against the
'library' philosophy, since not *all* the library functions will be needed.

So, again, the best would be to make a stub loader for each exe, that
checks what library fucntions are used and does dynamic link from a common
library file. The problem is how to do it without having to do extensive
hacking on compiler-specific tools like tlink.

>this is Stefan's LXPIC which is specifically designed with this in mind.

That's great, but only for graphics. Just imagine how much space would be
saved if we could do that also for 'printf', for instace.

I agree. I was not expecting authors to rewrite their code once a shared
library and methods for dynamic linking are released, but just to give the
tools for future programs to use less of our expensive solid state storage
media.

But also think that if compiler-specific 'fake' libraries (this is,
substitutes of the standard libraries that just call the common shared
libraries) are provided, software authors would just have to recompile
their programs with the new libraries.

If properly done (this is, for example, declaring all 'fake' functions as
far), just a single model common library would be needed.

Salu2. Nacho.

I bought a 20Mb flash card from Ace 2 years ago, it's been working fine
so far. The only disappointment was that I often get frustrated having
to wait a few seconds for the card to go through its consistency
verification process each time the unit is turned on... Since I'm a very
heavy user and turn on and off my HP100LX a hundred times per day, I
would like to know if anyone of you has experienced the same snag with
other large capacity Flash cards... Please let me know and I'll order it
straight away !

Thank you for your feedback.

The person can comment out the ACECARD.COM driver in the config.sys on the
uncompressed portion of the card.  They need to call me and I can get both
problems fixed.

Accurite has newer drivers that work with my speed upgrade.

Please relay this info for me and have the person who did the upgrades
contact us.

Try COMMO. It's available on SimTel sites /msdos/datacomm/ directory.
Also at ftp://ftp.ordata.com/COMMO/

The ordata site also has the latest 7.0f beta version which now has=
 a
configurable cursor. (A block cursor is a LOT easier to see on the
palmtop screen. If you need small, you will need to 86 the help files
for the beta version, since they include the COMPLETE manual (about
360K). The prog itself is just over 40K. The regular 7.0 version has=
 a
smaller (~40K) help file.

COMMO has VT102, VT220, & ANSI-BBS emulations. Also xmodem, ymodem,=
 and
zmodem file transfers. The program is completely configurable, and can
be enhanced thru use of macros (it has a comprehensive macro language).

Hope this helps.

It's been awhile, but I seem to remember using PC Mag's PRN2FILE for that
purpose on my XT. I have it on my LX also, but frankly haven't used it
much, tho it seems to work there too.

It's at ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/pcmagutl/prn2file.zip

I use a simple program called PRN2FILE which was written by Tom Kihlken. =
 I have had been using this forever.  I think it came on a monthly disk =
subscription that I was getting years ago, and I don't know if it is =
shareware, freeware, or commercial. =20

Let me know if you can't find it, and I will see what I can do.

I'm actively looking for one myself, to support a card from Eiger
Labs.  I'll report here if I find anything.

As I reported the other day, a tech support rep. at Systemsoft said
that they their product (Cardsoft) doesn't support the 200LX.  This was
based on my description of the unit (80186 running DOS 5.0), but he
also had a vague recollection of it, and a posting to c.s.h from late
1995 had the same news.  Systemsoft wrote CIC100, by the way, which is
why I was hopeful.

The two other vendors I know of are Award and Phoenix.  I left voicemail
with both.  Intel also has their own package, called Card Manager, but
it's been discontinued and apparently only ever shipped with their
cards.

The Eiger Labs web page indicates that *they* were supposed to ship a
CSS with the card.  I'm guessing that I got an older version of the
driver disk (Sequoia vs. Corel drivers, etc.), and I'm dogging their
tech. support about it.

                                -Jim.

I guess that's the reason because of which the concept of shared

I tought that if I make three programs, most of the library code will
be
the same, thus wasting my precious -and expensive- flash card space.
So,
wouldn't be great to have some kind of dynamic linking ?.
....

There wass a commercial product called RTLink from PocketSoft
(www.pocketsoft.com).  It allows the creation of dynamic link libraries with
just about any DOS-based compiler.  The same concept as U**x shared libs
and Win DLLs.

I played with it some a few years back (before I got my LX), and it
worked quite nicely.  I may have to dig it out and try it with something
like PAL, to see what happens.  (Oh my gosh! ANOTHER spare-time project!)

Subject:      pouches...again!
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Sorry if this shows up twice...  Something goofy happened at
 my end and I am not sure if this actually went out or not

I know this has been discussed here (or was it a news group??) before
but...

I want to get a belt pouch for my 200 and see that EduCalc has two:
"The Pouch" and "The Belt Holster".  The descriptions and pictures
are a little on the lame side so I have some questions:

- which has a belt CLIP rather than a belt LOOP.  What I'm looking
  for is something that is secure on a belt but can be removed without
  removing the belt

- they both seem to have some sort of Velcro strap to keep the HP
  from falling out.  Is that accurate?  Is the strap just a strip
  of Velcro or is is Velcro mounted on a bit of whatever the case
  is made of?

- does anyone have/use the shoulder strap for "The Pouch"?  Good?
  Bad?  Get you arrested for carrying a concealed weapon?

I guess they are cheap enough (and I'm not paying for it! :) that
I can get both and stick one in a drawer or return it or whatever
but I don't like wasting time.

Thanks in advance.

Get the one called "The Ripoff". It has a belt CLIP, fits the 200LX perfectly
and is built like military gear. The Pouch is made of neoprene (like a wetsuit)
and does not seem as tough as the Ripoff.

The S.U.P.E.R. site has never received permission to distribute SMMx and the
one on Thaddeus.com is the latest beta. There have been no final releases as
far as I know.

I use MaxDOS, but not Playex (nor do I usually set alarms...being hard of
hearing they don't do me much good).

I think the MaxDOS doc is wrong. Simply running Playex will not load it
into memory...you have to use "playex -l". I looked at the doc for playex
and tried it out with MaxDOS and it works that way.

Your autoexec lines should read:

a:\util\playex -l
a:\util\MaxDOS -l -wc:\tmp -ac:\_dat\alarm.snd

Subject:      extend ram by sofware
Content-Type: text/plain

I have a 1MB 200lx and a 20MB flash card.
Is there a software that would allow me to use a part (ie: 5MB) of my
flash card as ram, like all PCs do with virtual memory on a hard drive.
This should be faster than that kind of memory since the flash card can
transfer 8MB/sec.

The author of the "offending" message asked about places to get a speed
upgrade in *France*. I am sure there are many more French speaking
people who are able to answer that question than there are English
speaking people.

Are only "American people" people? For most Europeans, English is the
third or fourth language. For me, it is the fourth.

I guess your view is highly US-centric (and you are certainly less
US-centric than most Americans).

On that note, if you haven't input anything into the system yet, also pull
out the backup battery and depress the spacebar for about 30 secs to
totally drain everything. Install the AA's then the backup battery and
everything should be back to normal.

Sure. But only when reading. Writing takes much longer.

On some 95 and NT machines I can't get zip.com to work with my HP.  The COM
and addresses are correct but I keep getting <error> on the PC side (PC
side=client, palmtop=server).  Any ideas on how to fix this?  The IRQ for
COM1 (which I'm trying to use) is 4 which is pretty much standard.

I have downloaded the Nettamer 1.09. for palmtop.
I have a few questions which i did not find answered
in the manuals:

1. How to disable Nettamer's calling of the "exact time server"?
   It wastes a precious time on every run of the Nettamer.

2. How to reset the "Total connection this month x h xx min"?
   I want to reset it to "0h 0min" after I change the batterries
   to see how long I was able to stay on line with the current
   set of batteries.

3. Is it possible to log the time of Nettamer sessions into a file?
   I want to get a log like this:

date-time            time-on-line

I would like to free at least 100 KB of the convetional RAM

You have to change transmission rate in system setting of the 95
or NT for the COM port.

Subject:      CD InfoBase On Non-Wintel?

Has anyone used the HP Palmtop Paper CD InfoBase on a Mac?  They show a
Windows-based browser in the ad.  I routinely read "foreign" CDROM's on
an SGI and a Mac, but if the articles themselves can only be read by
the browser, I'm out of luck.

HP 700 is a story of its own. It is "GSM product".

BTW, we have discovered an internal bug (hardware conflict)
in HP 700. If interested in details, e-mail me.

Jan,

If you have access to a full copy of DOS, get a copy of SUBST on your
flashcard. It replaces the ASSIGN command with the added benefit of using
no conventional memory (don't ask me how it works)...so it'll save you
1.5K.  SUBST should be on versions of DOS after 3.1 (I think).

You have a pretty full plate otherwise <g>.

Gerry, if your intended addressee doesn't take it, I'll give $20 and pay
shipping COD, if you'll consider it.

If so, you can mail to;

I've used the Belt Holster for over 2 years now and have been quite happy
with it.  It has a long metal clip on the back and it's quite inexpensive.
It's from Educalc and is on their web page.

http://www.educalc.com/products/hp200lxa.htm

Stock #3000 (The Belt Holster) $14.95

----------
Get the one called "The Ripoff". It has a belt CLIP, fits the 200LX
perfectly
and is built like military gear. The Pouch is made of neoprene (like a
wetsuit)
and does not seem as tough as the Ripoff.

I am rather certain that the reader will only run under Windows.
I still remember the discussions we had with Hal on CIS, when he said the CD
was going to be a propiatary format, not HTML, or acrobat...

Hopefully I am wrong and the newer copies (that I don't own) are a different format.

You're not wrong.  The 1997 CD (which I'm pretty sure is the latest) runs on "HyperReader"
under Windows.  It's not a very good program, and there's not really anything that can be
done about it.  If it wasn't for the information that the CD provides, I wouldn't use it,
because of the HyperReader program.

I have used the ZIP program under NT, I found that the speed is limited.
In my case I had to slow it down to 57.6 K to get a connection. This is
due to how NT handles serial ports. Try starting at 9600 and working up
to find best speed on your system

In case there are any HP95 users still out there...

I was visiting a software liquidator over the weekend in San Luis Obispo
(Calif) and found 2 of the HP95-Lx Connectivity kits on the shelf. Made by
NuvaTech(sp?) and was selling for about $5-10.

I understand the pins differ from the 100/200 series or else I would have
bought it just for the cable.

If anyone is interested, the place was:

Software Outlet
2146 Parker St
SLO, CA
805-544-6616

They also had several copies of Allways(sp?), version 1.0...a 123
spreadsheet add-on. I bought one of those for kicks ($5 worth).

I also bought a copy of Print Vision, a print previewer. Anyone out there
use this before?.... to tell me if it's worth the time to try it out?

Subject:      Re: pc - hp200 link cable?

Hi!

I don't have the handbook at hand with the wireing information, sorry.

But as a 10pin Connector I used a connector for small harddisks. They
are in a 2mm spacing with 2 lines of I think 40 connections. I just
cut it to the right length, glued a plate beneth with resulted the right
hight for the opening in the palmtop and was also used to fix the cable
with a wirerap to the selfmade connector. After soldering I used a two
 component glue to fill the open spaces between the single wires. You
have to be carefull, not to fill the connector, too.
The cable works well at home for backup, but I also bought the original
cabel from HP for traveling. I couldnot find such a flexible wire
as HP used and so it is much more convenient for taking it with me.

The selfmade cable was DM20 and a lot of work, the original was DM49.
It was not worth the difference to search for a better cable.(Normaly
it is enough to have only 3 Wires, but I needed all Signals for a
application)

Hope this was a little help

'The Pouch' has a clip that allows it to be removed with the belt still=
 in
place. NSW's page has a good picture of it.

'The Pouch' features an extension of the belt clip that comes over the=
 top
of the case and keeps the palmtop from falling out. It fastens with=
 a bit
of velcro. It also has a pocket at the back that perfectly fits a PC=
 card
case.

E&B also makes a handsome leather case specifically for the HP Palmtops
which attaches to your belt and fully encloses the 200LX. This model=
 cannot
be removed without first removing the belt however and includes no pockets.=

I've been experimenting with a wireless communications solution for my 200.
 I recently picked up a Megahertz Allpoints card, and while it works great,
the service isn't cheap.  I have a Nokia 2120 dual mode phone, and I was
wondering if anyone out there knows of a cellular compatible modem that'll
work on the 200 and my Nokia.  I also have a Megahertz cell phone modem
(28.8), but is draws too much current to work in the 200.

Thanks,

Actually, The Pouch now features a full flap, with full-width Velcro
closure.  NSW has been shipping the new version for at least a month.
It still has the

This feature they retained.  As near as I can tell, the clip unsnaps to
mate with the shoulder strap.

Me too

I remember an old CGA golf game called mean 18 but I cannot find a
copy I am sure this should play on the HP.

Anyone know if a freeware version is available?

Apex Data (http://www.apexdata.com/) makes 14.4 and 28.8
cell-compatible modems that draw sufficiently low current to work with
the palmtop.  They even placed a press rlease with the Palmtop Paper,
the issue before last, and make a combo flash/modem for the 200LX, so
they know the machine.

I've successfully used their 14.4 over a landline.  They offer cables
for connection to a limited number of phones.  My phone isn't among
them so I haven't tried it's cellular capability.  I couldn't find the
phone compatibility list on Apex Data's site, but Supplynet
(http://www.thesupplynet.com/) lists Apex Data cables for the Nokia
2120, as well as the usual Ericsson, Motorola, NEC, Oki and Sony
models.

        It's not $20, but the genuine HP AC adaptor does handle multiple
voltages: 100-to-240 I think, and the prongs do fold in to make it friendly
to clothing when packed for travel. HP does give you value for your money.

Hello
  Isnt this documented clearly in the manual?  Why are we doing the binary
thing again???  And Iam sure there are going to be a zillion mails that
complain about binary stuff.  Also, how did this get through the > xxx
lines filter on the majordomo?

Mime-Version: 1.0

Has anyone tried running Quarterdeck's DESQview on the 200LX?

I tried it, but couldn't get the System Manager to run inside
DESQview.

What I want to do is run the SM inside a big DOS partition, so I could
have a "normal" LX in addition to one or more DOS apps loaded.  I'm not
as interested in the multitasking as I am in having multiple apps
loaded.

I know there are other products out there, I'm specifically asking
about DESQview because that's what's on my desk right now.

TIA

The upper memory area consists of the 384K just above 640K (and before=
 1Mb)
and its the divisions of that area that are referred to as the UMB's.
Unfortunately MS-DOS progs and processors incapable of running in protected=

mode cannot address it. That includes our darling 200LX :-(

Your next best bet is EMS (expanded memory) which will run on *any*=
 MS-DOS
computer regardless of processor - however unless your program/s were
written to take advantage of EMS then you're stuck with the conventional
stuff <g>. EMM200 is available for use with the 200LX and you may find=
 it

I have asked Uncle Dave this very question and unfortunately there is=

Again this can't be done AFAIK - short of deleting the *.def files and

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

I have access to a largish (about 30+) "PhoneWorks To Go!" 14.4
Fax/Data/Voice PC Cards and am wondering if they work ok in the 200?
The manual says that it uses 600 mW typical but don't mention mA.
Since I am not sure what the voltage is for the card (3? 5?) I am
not sure what the current is.  If it is 5, then it is 120mA and I'm
a happy guy.  If it is 3, then it is 200mA and I'm not so happy.

Anyone use one of these with an HP200??  Are they battery eaters?

The manufacturer, Connectware, has a web page is at:

    http://www.connectware.com/

They (or at least their web site) appear to have moved on to ATM
networking hardware, but they do have a few Win95 support files for the
card, and their tech. support department (support@connectware.com)
might be able to help.

I just spoke to Jerzy, the designer of the TransPC and (I believe)
principal of Transdigital.  He's very friendly and knowledgeable, and
understands the 200LX.  I called to ask if he knew of specific
parallel-to-SCSI converters that people had used with the TransPC.  He
responded that some customers in Germany had used a Trantor (now
Adaptec) converter, but he deals very little with SCSI.

In the course of the conversation, he mentioned that they are in the
process of relocating the business to Sacramento.  Their new phone
numbers will be:

    916-482-5599 voice
    916-482-5598 fax

They're still accepting calls at their old number (510-745-9777).
Their inventory is all packed for the move, but they're accepting
orders, for shipment on Tuesday.

Any ideas?

Oddly enough, I noticed something along these lines using GPSCGA 2.0.  Searching for my
home city, or an airport, was slow on my flash card, so I copied the files over to the C:
drive and tried again.  It took probably 50% longer!  Search speed is better in version
2.7, and I haven't tried copying it onto the ram drive, but still, it seems kind of odd to
me....

I think it means that the "RAM" is slower than the pc card speed and most
are around 200ns to 240 ns with some of the newer ones being faster I guess.

I thought that the RAM on the C: drive was SRAM, which is usually much faster than DRAM.
Anybody have any details on this?

I know that flash RAM is pretty speedy at reading, but usually much slower at reads-- say,
around 400k/sec tops.  The new power-sucking 3x flash cards from Microtech speed this up
to about 1.2MB/sec write speed, but don't improve on the reading speed.  Perhaps somebody
should run a benchmark comparing 200LX performance in writes and reads to a flash card
versus writes and reads to the C: drive.

I don't know, I think the proof is in the speed at running the apps. Try it
yourself, from the card, from ram.

John, I'm happy to hear you admit out loud, albeit indirectly, that you use
MS Windows. Me, too.

I received TF by divine providence in the binary-receptive days of yore.
True, it's not at all bad. But zip.com seems quicker and easier (for my
purposes). And I can use it whether I'm in pure DOS or a DOS window. Now
that's a great program!

dear list members.
i am unable to get any support from palm computing.  a copy of my original

managed to get two answers from a larry and a jeff at usr but they won't reply

I tried zip.com, had trouble with it; didn't persue it, but I don't think
it liked to

They can. But only if hardware maps memory to those addresses. What happens
with protected mode capable processors, is that even if hardware is not
able to map memory at those addresses, the processor memory management unit
can do it in protected mode.

Since our 200LX is a 80186 machine, it has only a 1MB addressing space.
Lower 640K are for DOS and applications. The last 64KB are for BIOS, and in
between there is the display memory. The rest is used for several purposes,
one of them is memory paging in order to access the rest of the RAM as
drive C:.

Since I haven't got the hardware information about HP200LX, I just don't
know if the hornet chip is able to map ram into the rest of upper free
space (this is, excluiding BIOS, display memory and paging for drives C:
and D:) in order to turn it into UMBs.

Maybe I'll but the SDK, which I believe contains such information. If if
finally do it, one of the things I plan is to provide some UMB support for
the HP200LX.

Regards, Nacho.

The C drive on the HP is DRAM, I know this is unusual but it is true.

The Sandisk cards, newer ones at least have a write of around 400kB/s
and will read at 1MB/s the deal here I guess is how fast is the HP
PCMCIA implementation ?

Sandisk do an unsupported utitlity called SETPWR which allows you to
program the peak power of the card which trades this with performance
they also do a number of other utils for measuring hot count etc as
well as setting cluster size. I have these but do not use them I am
not sure if I can post them I will check

Tom you didn't mention if you're running the software under win95 or
win3.x. If you're trying it under win95 then it won't work :-(  My guess=
 is
that since you have reached the point of scanning the palmtop then it=
 must
be a config problem?

I have used the software under win3.x and it ran well - I was a bit
disappointed in a few aspects of the program that I felt were too limiting=

one of which being no support for database (gdb) files also long entries
in some fields of phonebook are truncated during the merge/translate
routines. So beware...

I use Tfwin200 (ver 1.0.3.) on this PC, a Compaq 5100 (weird95), it
works very well and I would recommend it to anyone.  Another "goodie" is
Puma Technology's IntelliSync for the HP200LX.  Both pieces of software
while different in purpose and "look and feel" are great examples of the
support behind the HPX00LX series of computers.

I've noticed this effect also, I thought that it was just me. I have a
clock speed mod on my '200. I'm using an OLD IBM 10MB flash RAM card.
I have access to some other cards, I'll time them and post the
results.

What does intelliSync do and what is the latest version? I think I checked

Intellisync is suppose to sync the contents of HP200 phone book and
appointment book with a personal information manager
(Lotus Organizer, etc..) and transfer other files to and from a pc.
Intellisync can not work with Outlook because Outlook is a 32 bit app.
This is the answer I keep getting from Puma.

IntelliSync will transfer files, but it's main function is to
synchronize applications that run in different computers and need to
access the same "database" of information.  The best example is
Schedule+ (win95) and the Appointment Book in the HP.  Example: I wander
around using my palmtop while no where near my company's network.  I
receive appointments and stuff from my manager via Schedule's ability to
"share" schedules with others in a workgroup.  By using IntelliSync, I
can bring the schedule information from Schedule+ into my palmtop for
reference through out the day.  I can also make "on the fly" changes to
my future plans that after an IntelliSync session are available to my
managers.

IntelliSync is good.  It can handle customized phone books (phone.pdb
modified as a .gdb file).  It will allow "collision" management between
conflicting appointments.  It has full system (HP to PC) backup support.
 It will (I don't use this much) sync your "to do" lists, database
files, and your phone book.  It is very well supported by a (now the
following statement is unusual, I admit) intelligent, thoughtful, and
knowledgeable tech staff.  But it's not cheep. :)

I have IntelliSync.  It allows you to synchronize the 200LX Appt. Book,
Phone Book, Note Taker and Database applications with Windows apps on
the desktop.  Field mapping is used to accomplish this.  You can also
import and export data using IntelliSync.  I have not used it
extensively yet but it seems to work ok.  No setup problems.

Ask and ye shall receive.  Following test was done on a clock-doubled
200lx w/6mb ram (3.5mb free)

- Flash card is a 20mb Kingston w/ 5.5mb free.
- GDB file was defragmented prior to the test.
- results were consistent for 3 test runs

Time to search a 364k .gdb for a text string:
Flash: 18 sec
RAM  : 27 sec

Flash wins in database searching (as David reported).

Next test was a generic read/write speed check. The test uses a batch file
to repeatedly copy a 100k file 10 times and notes the start/end times.

I can post the batch file if anyone is interested (its about 15 lines
long). I constructed the test file using a text editor. Timing was done
using the DOS TIME command.

- test was repeated 3 times and results were consistent in each test.

Times:
Flash: 9 sec
RAM  : 3.5 sec

RAM wins in generic read/write, so flash performance (over RAM) isn't a
given in all cases.

My guess is that HP's database apps (ADB,NDB,PDB,GDB) use database
techniques of buffering and pointers that may be affected by the cluster
size of the storage media (in terms of performance).

You have to remember that the 200LX is an PC (XT) with flash, 640 is all
you get without an EMM drives (that works), still don't know which is the
best.

Any comments on EMM drivers....a rock solid one that works?

OK, I did a few timings, and on my machine, the "flash is faster" theory
didn't
hold up. I timed searching a 3MB file for a text string...

C: (internal RAM)               - 21.1 sec
PNY 4MB  compact flash          - 23.2 sec
IBM 10MB flash file (sandisk)   - 25.6 sec
IBM 10MB flash file (fragmented)- 25.5 sec
PNY 8MB compact flash           - 23.1 sec

The second IBM flash card is my regular A: drive, and it had 7MB of
files on it
and I've never defragmented it. The extra files didn't make any
difference in
the timing, as might be suspected since the media is all solid state.
CHKDSK
showed that my test file was in 28 fragments on that drive.

Of course, the write times for flash are a lot longer too.

Be neat if someone were to write a small program that would time the
transfer
rate of drives on the HP by reading sectors; then we could compare vs.
flash cards. Probably such a thing already exists!

I'm still bewilderred (and so is HP tech support apparently) with an
"inconsistent" error: "Cannot read disc".

It seems to occur mostly after adding, editing, or appending a "Note"
field in "Apptbook" and "Phone" records.

I just recently up-graded to a 2MB 200LX, from my original 1MB 200LX,
and STILL GET THE ERROR !!!

I'm using an EXP ThinFax 1414 LXM card (4MB)... and loosing patience
rapidly.  I love the 200LX, and don't readily blame the hardware, as EXP
has good enough to replace the card once, and HP has been trying to
help from their end, but the random error persists. ;o(

I've run "garlic" on both databases, several times to no avail.  The
ONLY thing I didn't do was to use the /V (I think it was) to delete
"sub-sets"...

This morning, for the first time, I even got an error when "Reminder"
tried to run, saying "It could not open file", whether it is relevant or
not, I don't know....

With all the users, and all the knowledge out there about this
wonderfull little computer, can any of the brethren help?

Very sincerely,

One note on Flash memory cards, there are a very few manufacturers of flash
memory. Maybe count them on 1-2 hands, maybe a couple of toes. Microtech
doesn't make anything themselves. Most of the "Name Brand" cards are
actually made by one of the few manufacturers. I have a Microtech 40 made
in Japan by IBM? It gets very grey as to who makes what.

I guess I'm confused, I got a file called "Newphone2" with a suffix.pdb,
tried to load it on the LX200 and Transfile said it was the wrong file
type. The Phone file has the same suffix, do I have to rename it (suffix)?
This program has "email" and other such nice additions to Phone DB

EXP is advertising a family of 33.6 modem/flash cards for use with Windows
CE that are claimed to have cellular compatibility and 180mA at 5V
power consumption (just over the HP spec).

See http://208.202.146.100/product.nsf

The modems also include an external power pack (using 2 AAs) which can
be used to extend battery life and have standby power consumption of
14mA.  The flash memory capacities are 0/4/8/16 MB.

Does anyone on the list know whether these modems will work with
the 200LX?

Regards,

Rich

P.S. I only saw Motorola cables on the EXP site.  I have a Nokia 2160 so
I'm concerned about Nokia connectivity as well.

Do you have access to another card to try. Qucik and dirty test. Maybe the
program is trying to load from the wrong drive?

The help file in IntelliSync has this to say about Lotus (sorry, no
Notes stuff).
Lotus Organizer Version 2.1

Supported Sections

IntelliSync supports the Synchronize, Import, and Export operations for
the Lotus Organizer 2.1 sections listed below:

Address
Anniversary
Calendar
Calls
Notepad
Planner
To Do

System Options=20

Rename Section Option
Since Lotus Organizer allows you to customize section names, IntelliSync
provides the corresponding capability. To modify section names in
IntelliSync, go to the Options dialog. In the Section Name list box,
select the section name you wish to change. Then click the Rename button
and type the new section name into the small dialog which appears.  Note
that changing a section name in this dialog does not affect the section
name in Lotus Organizer.  Section names must be changed in both
locations.

Data Transfer Requirements

It is not necessary to close the selected Lotus Organizer file before
performing a data transfer.  The only exception to this rule is if the
"Single user access" box was checked at the time the Lotus Organizer
file was created (in Save As dialog box).  Be sure to un-check the box
if you wish to use a file which is currently open.  Note, however, that
if you do use an open file, you will need to re-open the file once the
operation is completed.  This is necessary in order to force Lotus
Organizer to refresh the file display.

=DE     Note: If you create a new file in Lotus Organizer and save it with =
the
"Single user access" dialog box unchecked, you must close and reopen the
file before you can synchronize it (or access it during an import or
export).

Backup Files

During an IntelliSync operation, IntelliSync always creates a backup
copy of the Lotus Organizer file before applying any updates.  This
allows you to restore the original file contents should the data
transfer produce undesirable results.  All backup files are created in
the same directory as the original data file.  The backup files always
retain the "base" name of the original file, but are assigned a .bak
file extension.  Look for files with these file extensions to locate the
most recent backup copy of a Lotus Organizer data file.

Group Scheduling Login

When Lotus Organizer has been installed on a server, and is being used
as a group scheduler, additional information is required for IntelliSync
to successfully complete an operation.  This information is not required
if Lotus Organizer has been installed as a stand-alone (non-group
scheduling) application.

If Lotus Organizer is installed either in a Single-Server or Notes
configuration, a User Name and Password is required to login to the
network.  When installed in a cc:Mail environment, a Post Office address
must also be supplied.  This option does not appear in the Login dialog
box, unless installed in a cc:Mail environment.  If you do not know your
post office path, contact your system administrator for details.

When installed in a network environment, IntelliSync will prompt you
once to supply or confirm a User Name, Password, and Post Office address
(only applicable to cc:Mail).  If default values exist, these will
appear in the User Name and Post Office parameters.  Once the network
settings have been supplied once, they will be used in all subsequent
attempts to perform a synchronization.

If you later need to change these settings, you may edit the contents of
the initialization file Organize.ini located in the installation
directory.  Alternatively, you can remove the file Organize.ini
altogether to force the prompt to appear the next time you run an
IntelliSync operation.

The initialization file Organize.ini contains the User Name, Password,
and cc:Mail Post Office address, using the following format:


Login
        UserName=3D=20
        Password=3D=20
        PostOffice=3D


Supply alternative values adjacent to the appropriate option names to
cause IntelliSync to apply different login parameters on all subsequent
synchronization requests.=20


Repeating Items

Repeating items can be transferred intact between the HP 200LX and Lotus
Organizer, with one exception.  Repeating items generated in the Lotus
Organizer Calendar section are fanned into individual items when they
are transferred to the HP 200LX.


Version #

IntelliSync supports Lotus Organizer version 2.1.

Hi!

Same here- I have used an EXP ThinFax (4MB) and got the error message=
 many
times. As I have seen, I would like to say that the driver for the card=
 is
not well written. This error occure for example when you give a
wrong DOS command (wrong spelling etc.). The EXP driver will then do=
 so a
check if the 'wrong command' is something you have on the F disk. If=
 you then
don't have the EXP inserted, an error message will show up. I have also
experienced some DOS programs which will try to access the F drive even=
 if
it's not there- card out. In general, the first driver EXP came out=
 with was
really bad. The update was better. The card is in general ok, but not=
 of high
quality and the driver could be improved.


Regards,

Jorgen

        Actually, E&B now makes an HPC model of case that has a velcro
belt model that is easily placed and removed from the belt... holds my
HP 200LX, money, two sets of business cards, credit cards, pen, and and
extra set of batteries. An extra $5 will get you a palmtop holder in
which you can clasp the 200LX... the holder itself velcros into the
wallet. Nice unit... a little bit bigger than what I really would have
wanted, but the extra space is welcome I guess. Now my wife thinks I'm
more of a
        geek than I already was 8).

        Incidentally, a picture of it on the belt is at:

Talking of bigger cases, case logic has a PDA case for the sharp zaurus
that fits a 200LX nicely.  I have one of those palmtop holders that is
attached to the case and holds my HP.  Also has space for the power supply,
credit cards and a pen.  Nice case for 20 bucks.

I'm preparing to purchase a new digital camera.  I'll probably wind up
getting the Kodak DC25, due to price constraints.  I really want a camera
with an LCD screen to preview pictures on, which cinches the DC25 for me.
I intend to use the 200LX and my 20MB flash as a "photo album" while I'm
out on trips, etc.  Has anyone successfully used this combo?  I understand
that the only difference between the DC20 and DC25 is the 25 has a built-in
flash, 2 megs of ram,  a card slot, and the LCD... so I believe that LXDC
may work. (Hopefully... if not, there's also DC20Term.exe.)  Please email
me with any tales of the 200LX and a digital camera... or even just your
"take" on the whole digital camera issue.

Thanks,
Bill Childers

As leader of PPTUG I receive often complains from users about failure on
keyboards, specially the numeric one.

This HP200LX user has an erratic keyboard failure on the numeric keyboard -
sometimes the machines clicks but the number doesn't appear on monitor.

Portuguese HP staff first could not find the problem, and now tells the
client that he has to pay more 300 USD if he wants the machine repaired.
This is really more expensive than a new machine !

Can anybody suggest anything cheaper ?

The first HP300LX I saw seemed funny to me (despite the big size and
weight, and the "not so bright" display) but no matter I tried I could not
accentuate any character.

In an European Country like Portugal the accentuation of characters is
vital, and every 200LX model sold here has a complete set of accentuated
characters.

Can anyone help me about this subject ?

Did I got the wrong model ?

     Hi!
     I think I can help indirectly. there is a URL www.jimmy.com. I think
     he has what you are looking for.
     BTW you should have stayed with the 200LX. I wandered of to and got me
     a HP320LX. That was one of my biggest mistake of my 59 year life. I
     got me a 200LX with 4Mb. and that is going to be it...

The first HP300LX I saw seemed funny to me (despite the big size and
weight, and the "not so bright" display) but no matter I tried I could not
accentuate any character.

In an European Country like Portugal the accentuation of characters is
vital, and every 200LX model sold here has a complete set of accentuated
characters.

Can anyone help me about this subject ?

Did I got the wrong model ?

The filename "newphone2.pdb" is too long for DOS. Transfile will
translate this
to an 8.3 DOS name as "newphone.2pd". Remove at least one character from
the
"newphone2" part of the name.

Would it be a silly idea for people using this list to start the subject

That way it would be able to tell work related messages from list messages??

Look for the WindowsCE discussion group, Real Men Don't drive CE's, I had a
chance to look at most of the CE units and I think they smell bad, sort of
a OmniGo smell or is that OmniWent? The Windows CE operating system is limp
and there is a percentage of the people on this group who are limper!

Sort of the same difference between a Carroll's Cobra 427 and a plastic one.

No single key access to apps, no Pocket Quicken, eats batteries, crashes
when you have IT all set up the way you like IT, hard to read screen (too
high rez for MY $5.00 readers). I don't think it will make survive!

I use Eudora Pro v3.0. It allows you to pass all incoming messages through
a set of filters, and, dependind on certain conditions, perform certain
operations on messages.

I created a mailbox called "HPLX list", and set a filter that when finds
the chain "HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU" in any field of the message header,
transfers it to that mailbox.

So, alter each mail check, I get all my messages automatically sorted in
different mailboxes.

Regards. Nacho.

Yes, you got the wrong model.  The correct model is easy to identify.  It is
clearly labeled, "HP200LX."

What you need for PNR is something to make UQWK packets, and I recall from
the PNR docs that there is a Win95 app that does just that. A bit of
Altavista hunting turns up Robert Rush's page in Chicago, try
  http://www.mcs.net/~bobr/ftp-dir.html

Good luck!

Netscape Communicator's e-mail program, Messenger, now allows you to defi=
ne filters as
well.  So for those of us who use Netscape, make sure you have the latest=
 version and you
can set up filters to automatically divert HPLX messages into a separate =
folder.

I've gotten IE's included mail program to work, which filters 99% of the
HPLX messages to a different folder.  A few fall through but it's very
rare.  So yous guys that use Internet Explorer have got a solution as
well.  (BTW its under Mail - Inbox Assistant.)

Exactly.  There ain't one single thing you can do on a WinCE machine that

Lotus might be a sleep-inducing number-crunch company, but they made one
hell of a task-swapper, which is more than I can say for WinCE.  No task =

Chances are, that's the actual speech.  After you've loaded it, try
hitting Alt-Enter.  You should hear some static resembling "review".
Then hit F3 (I think) or Shift-F3 to change the pitch/speed.  Then
hit enter, you should hear more static resembling "exit".  Sorry I
can't help you more, I only found the thing, I don't use it. ;)

Chinese Windows95 and Chinese Schedule+. Since the Chinese version of 95 and
Schedule+, etc., is Chinese only in the user interface and the program
language behind is English, I guess there may some possibllities to
sychronize the Eng info. Any of you can offer kindly your experience on that
issue? Thanks.

Hi everybody,

I've been planning on writing a piece of SW that would enable me to
download the photos from my Apple/Kodack QuickTake digital camera to an
HPLX for some time but never found time to get down to it.

I'm interested to know how you're getting on with your experiments.

Has anyone already designed a prg linking the Quicktake Kodack / Apple
digital camera to the HPLX ???

Thanks for your help.

Hi everybody,

I am just about to order an IBM PC110 palmtop.

I'd like to know if anybody could answer the following questions:

- the best deal I could get was at T-Zone in Japan. Has anyone have a
better deal to suggest ?

- what is the price of this digital camera that fits in the PC110 that's
often seen on the photos of the machine ?

- how's the keyboard ?

- what's the price of the batteries ? What type are they ? Are there any
high capacity models ?

- has anyone made use of this little drawing pad ?

- Do the 4Mb of Flash memory work the same as standard PCMCIA flash
cards (unlimited  write/erase cycle ?)

- what's the actual battery life ?

- is the AMD K5 133MHz upgrade reliable ? What is the resulting battery
speed ? Are there any disfunctionning of any kind ?

- has anyone heard of the english version of the built-in PIM

- has anyone reported some incompatibility with the PCMCIA slot and any
card on the market ? (modem, LAN, cellular, SCSI, etc...)


THANK YOU FOR THE TIME SPENT ANSWERING ALL THOSE QUESTIONS !!!

Hey, this is pretty cool! You could even touch type on the thing:
http://www.palmtop.net/img/newton5.jpg

But how much does a newton keyboard cost? And will the driver work with
std IBM keyboards (I'd guess not...) because that would be a very cheap
(and quite light) way to type lecture notes.

And even with a IBM keyboard, it *would* be lighter than a laptop! :)

Anyone on the list have any good scuba related software for the 200LX?

I am currently writing a "Dive Analyzer" program that interfaces the 200LX
with a Citizen's HyperAqualand dive-watch via serial cable. The program
dumps the profiles from the watch memory and makes approx. 40 calculations
based upon the diver's profile. The program also graphs / plots the dive. I
travel on dive trips frequently and the 200LX lets me store / analyze my
dive profiles without having to pack a laptop. (The watch will only store
about six dive profiles, so the HP lets me save ALL of my dive data.)

Has anyone on the list already written a similar program that interfaces
with the HyperAqualand watch?

The 'Tremm' EMS driver that ships with Times 2 Tech's upgrades are as=

It also works with windows although EMM200 can't...

Hi:

I've been tihinking and experimenting little bit about dynamic linking for
our LX:=20

From the program's point of view (nothing still about the dynamic library
format and all that stuff):

OPTION 1: Subsitute each function by a 'fake' function pointer. Dynamic
linking will consist in loading the required libraries and filling that
table with appropiate pointers. Define each 'fake' function in a separate
file, so just that function (pointer) is linked when used.

Problems:=09
- Little calling overhead (just reading the pointer from memory). Probably
unnoticeable (unless the function has only a few instructions).
- Need of information of where in the data area are the pointers, in order
for the dynamic linker to fill them. =BF How to produce it ? (I=20
guess   method will be probably compiler-dependent).

Advantages:
- Fake functions (pointers) easily portable to different compilers.
- No code growing. Instead of calls to function addresses, indirect calls.
Same size (or even smaller if large model used). Extra size only due to
pointer location information (for filling when dynamic linking).
- ROMable. No code modification required (see option 2), all moficications
are done on the data segment (pointer filling). Probably useless anyway in
our case.

OPTION 2: Substitute each function call by special code such as "PUSH nnnn,
INT mm", where nnnn is the library/function code, and mm is the vector to
which the dynamic linker is hooked, either as a TSR or either as part of
the program (a INT mm is smaller than a call to a function if the dynamic
liner is part of the program).=20

Problems:
- Unless it's possible to load needed functions when they are first called,
they all will need to be loaded toghether with the program, so it's still
needed some report about the functions used (loading the entire library
would use too much memory).
- Jumping to the appropiate function in the INT reoutine depending on the
function/library code, would mean a big execution time penalty. To solve
this, the first time the function is called from that point of the code,
the code could be patched to be a direct call to an absolute address. Then,
it would be unROMable (doesn't matter in out case).
- Code growth. PUSH nnnn, INT mm are five bytes, same as calls in large
model, but
larger that in small model.
- And the MAIN PROBLEM: how to substitute function calls by that special
code. The only compiler that I know can do it is WATCOM C through the
pragma directive. It's a very good compiler, but I don't want to restrict
this project to a single compiler. The benefit will come if most
programmers share the same common libraries (very easy if thos are the
standar C libraries). In other compilers, that special code would have to
go encapsulated into another function, wich means execution penalty and
code growth.

Advantages:
- No memory use for function pointers as in option 1.=09
- Would be possible to completely isolate the program and the dynamic
linker. You link your program with the 'fake' libraries, and that's all. If
the dynamic linker is loaded, it will patch the program wihout any help
from it. (except maybe a list of used functions in order to not having to
load them in the middle of the program's executioun, which could be
somewhat dangerous).


IMO, the pointer approach is the best: it's fully portable. No 'dirty'
things like code mofication. The only problem to be solved is how to know
where into the data area are the  pointers, and include information of what
functions they must point to. I'll keep on researching in that direction.

It's interesting, though, the 'isolation' advantage of option 2, so, I'll
not discard it yet.


Greetings. Nacho.

P.S: I have Turbo C 2.0, Borland C++ 3.1 and WATCOM C/C++ 10.5, and will
try to get something at least useable for all three, with more attention to
Turbo C 2.0, because it's the most suitable (if not the only) to run on the
HP200LX itself. If anyone is interested in another compiler, contact me,
please.

You can create accented characters on a desktop, download the document
to the WinCE unit and copy and paste the characters there. Supposingly,
there are also add-on programs that allow you to enter those
characters. Supposingly, there will be (when?) localized units that
allow you to enter some accented characters directly.

Yes, I find that rediculous too.

Subject:      DIS: Preventing Cracks

Not to stir up old issues, but I'd like some feedback.

I'm currently awaiting my Express Exchange for the infamous hinge crack.
HP is loosening the hinge for me, but I was wondering what else I could
do. I had this idea....

Place, either intact or by cutting it, the nameplate on the FRONT of
the unit, OVER the spot where the cracks/fractures appear. As they seem to
appear in the EXACT same place each time, perhaps this will strengthen
the stress point and avoid the problem. I'm hoping that this would not
just move the crack to a new location.... Perhaps if it were placed
back to front, running parallel to the right side, and centered in the
"flat" area.

What do you think?

Thanks!

Do you guys really want to start a flame war over something that is not HPLX
related?

One of the peaks of my day is reading the digest. I am interested in the
HPLX and have always appreciated that I could find just that, in an

All opinions are welcome, of course. But I feel a message should be a
contribution to the discussion rather than a soap box. I realize I can go
elsewhere if I don't like the heat, but there's nowhere else to go and
there's too much good stuff here.

Can we cut down the insults? Show your intelligence with biting criticism,
not malice.

Hi Helmut!

Why do you like your 200LX so much over the 320LX?

Using Eurdora, I just have all messages from this list automatically moved
to my HP Palmtop folder.  You can probably do something similar with
your email system.  CCMAIL for example can do the same thing.

Do you want to download the email on a desktop and then move it to
the HP or do you want to download it directly to your HP?

I reall enjoy programming PDC PROLOG.
PROLOG is a (so called) fifth generation language
where often you don't describe what to do, but
rathter the result you want and PROLOG's
built-in inference engine figures out how to
arrive at the result.  You can enter facts and
rules and PROLOG arrives at the answer.  It
is sort of like playing a game to code in PROLOG.
It can be frustrating for a traditional programmer
though because you have to change your thinking
quite a bit.  You can't say:

   Count = Count + 1

Because that doesn't make sense logically!

You have to say:

   NewCount = Count + 1


Anyway, PDC PROLOG will create really fast
exes that will run great on an HP 200LX.

I've recently developed a program for musicians
to help them train their musical ear.  It will
run on just about any PC including a 200 LX.
I wrote it all in PDC PROLOG.

I'm very sorry and I won't do it again.   Although the discussion was mor=

or less based on the 200, it was not a flame, nor was it a war.  We are

It's my belief that the LX CE palmtop belongs on the WindowsCE discussion
group and the LX200 belongs on this board.

I has been there and Hallelujah!, I has seen the light! That's why I'm here
and not there.

WinCE sucks!

Give me a few sucks and tucks, 5 kilos of makeup and an air conditioned
doghouse...

 In my case, I would like to download the mail to my desktop PC, then export
the files to the palmtop.

I'm using Microsoft's Internet Mail and News, which only allows exporting
to Microsoft Exchange.

One solution is to transfer the mailbox (.mbx) files to the palmtop, then
use
filer or list.exe to view them in dos, but thats messy.

Any better solutions?

Hi Philip,
        Did you get any responses about the keyboard cable?

        How big is the Newton keyboard, can it be touch-typed on?

Subject:      Offline reading of desktop email (long)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

In response to the handful of posts on this topic:

Sounds like someone ought to investigate the possibility of an app
which would parse your desktop email and produce a UQWK-style
package, which could then be read by a DOS app on the LX, perhaps the
Palmtop News Reader.

Issues:
  * Desktop email format. This would be easy with Netscape mail *iff*
you're not using compressed folders. (maybe those too?) Basically any
email app that lets you manipulate its folders (i.e. read/grab
messages *and* add/delete messages) would be OK.
  * UQWK format. Probably need to grab some UQWK UNIX source code,
unless someone has a source of UQWK specs. Altavista turned up
http://shrine.cyber.ad.jp/~jwt/uqwk/ for starters. There's apps at:
http://www.cpdee.ufmg.br/simtel/simtel_index_offline.html
  * Just the Inbox folder? I'm guessing a lot of folks have got some
mail filtering rules in place and might want more than the Inbox.
  * What language to write the converter in? I'd suggest Perl, being
as platform-neutral as possible so more folks can use the tool.
  * Replies. How would these be sent?

I'd think a script could scan whatever list of folders you wanted,
grab the Un-read messages (without attachments?), maybe prepend
folder-name to the subject line, create a UQWK bundle for PNR. In
PNR you could use the "Save" option to save a message (as foo.msg in
the REPLIES folder) and the normal Reply to reply. Once done, you'd
move all the files from the REPLIES folder back to the desktop and a
second script would go through the .msg files to be marked read and
kept, and the .m?? files to be placed in the Outbox where you'd
probably need to manually select them and issue a Send command (for
UNIX boxes they could be sent with sendmail and placed in the Sent
folder, nothing further needed). Any message not saved in PNR would
be removed from the desktop folder (or maybe this is configurable for
packrats?). Of course the second script would also remove the
folder-name for both outbound and saved messages. Generally you'd
have two Perl scripts, tolx.pl and fromlx.pl, and a library for each
supported desktop program, e.g. nn4-lib.pl.

Also, while it would seem easy to keep a message in the folder it's
already on in the desktop system, I wonder how you could use the
palmtop to indicate a msg should be kept but moved to another desktop
folder? I'd suggest filenames if this weren't DOS ;-) Maybe an LX
macro would "Save" the email & then take you thru steps to record the
info in the .msg after it was saved? Sounds tough to me.

This could be an excellent app. Mobile workers could "sync" a couple
times a day and do their email business in the elevator, taxi,
train... Now that I've said that, I'd bet this shows up in a future
version of Windows, Clunky Everwhere. ;-)

Thinking out loud,

-Peter

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

It was pointed out that the TREMM driver from Times2Tech only works on 4
MB models.  Actually, that is not true.  I had Mack (the head honcho at
T2T) upgrade my measly 1 MB 200LX to a measly 2 MB, and he included the
TREMM driver for me.  It works great with MAXDOS and Windows 3.0.
In case you're interested, the 1 to 2 MB upgrade is $75 installed plus
FedEx shipping.  It's almost worth it for just the EMM driver, if you
don't need the whopping 4 MB upgrade.  I just wanted some extra space for
communications and fax software for when I have to take out my flash card
to use a PC card modem.

Cheers.

 Why don't you use Pegasus mail.
they are version for dos, win3.1 and wn95/nt.
They are free software.
It's possible to use dos or windows software with the same data.

No, I have not tried it. Those pictures were sent to me from Japan. I thought

     Hi!
     Thanks I needed that really. The HP320LX is the most useless piece of

     will never wander off. I think I have said it all.

Helmut, its great having 'back on our team'! What became of that 320
anyway...?

I am also interested to learn of your beef with the 320 - mine would be too
long for the 300-line post limit on this list <g>.

   I have used the palmtop holster from Opus 63 for 4 years (two separate
models) and never had a problem with people figuring that I had a gun on
me... even in airports.  I doubt the holster for the model you mention from
EduCalc would get you in trouble.  (I've only travelled in the US, though.)
   I like the holster and although I thought belting the palmtop to me would
be a good deal I have found it stays pretty close to your side without using
the "belt loop feature."

Does anyone know if the LXDC program only supports the DC20, or if it'll work with the DC25?  The main differences between the two cameras are the 25 has 2meg flashmem, and an LCD display on the back.

Just curious, what did you pay for the camera?

The August 1997 issue of "Byte" magazine had two articles about palmtops.
One was a discussion about WinCE which was all "Gee Wizz what a wonderful
thing" and the other was a comparison of all the leading palmtops. HP320
Psion etc etc. The only palmtop which was not mentioned was the HP200! Who
says that HP is not trying to kill us off?

I did a search and found the following site

      http://www.pdc.dk/html/ordrfrm1.htm

It lists     PDC Prolog  3.31 DOS   for approx  $ 115.00
Hope this helps you - the price is too steep for my budget  ;-)

I bought Borland Turbo Pascal at AuctionWeb - see this site for listing -

I'm checking to see if PDC Prolog for DOS is available.  I'll let you know.
The company that developed it, is now focusing on VIP (Visual Prolog for

Greetings to the Mailing List,

Here are some more thoughts on batteries.

For AUS$2 one can purchase a basic credit-card-sized calculator that
handles 8 digits and one memory using only a tiny strip of solar
cells.  These take up just over 2 square centimetres and are capable
of operating the unit in a light that is barely enough to see in.
Apart of course from the basic functions, this array of cells supports
a display area of virtually the same size.

The total area around the edge of the 100LX screen is effectively 46
sq cm., the screen area being only slightly more than this, at 54 sq
cms.  Obviously the functionality of the Palmtop is much greater than
that of the tiny calculator described, but an array of solar cells
around the screen of the former might be enough to support the screen
display, since in any event the the lid has to be at the correct angle
to capture enough light for viewing, otherwise the Palmtop cannot be
used.

Now suppose that attached to the lid of the Palmtop was a much
thinner, lightweight lid of similar size with a hinge on the leading
edge such that it could be lifted up in the opposite sense to the main
lid at any required angle.  If this could be covered with another
array of cells, maybe there would be enough energy to run the main
functions of the Palmtop (excluding cards and large amounts of RAM).

Since thinking of this, I attempted to connect up my 100LX to a
commercially available solar array-cum-battery charger (available from
Dick Smith in Australia for about AUS$20).  Unfortunately, despite
trying various configurations and taking the main batteries out of the
Palmtop, I could not obtain a screen display.  The output of the solat
charger fell from about 3 volts to half that value when connected and
I was advised that the shop lighting was too low for my purposes.  So
back to the drawing board!

Since more power is obviously required, what about a multiple fold-out
array to be attached electrically and mechanically to either side of
the Palmtop's lid hinge via a miniature wing-nut or knurled screw?
The folded array would be the same dimensions as the lid, but two or
three separate cell layers thick, with thin arms on each side parallel
to the edge of the lid so that it would be opened out first by 180
degress until flat on the table.  Then the other layer(s) could be
unfolded 180 degrees to produce an array.  Perhaps the unfolding angle
could be varied to suit lighting conditions.

Alternatively, the array could be detachable from the palmtop to
maximise positioning for available light and a short connector used
via the external jack as currently used for the adapter.  There is
nothing technically impossible in all of this - the question is
whether it is feasible at a reasonable price and whether it would
sell.  Maybe it is something for Japanese innovation or Mack Baguette
(are you reading this, Mack?).

Anyway, if this is not good enough, there are still other
possibilities for increasing the time-span between battery
changes...to be continued, perhaps...unless I am boring everyone?

Well, you know....

I happen to have a copy of the PCMCIA spec for Card and Socket Services
drivers and the HP Internals book. Comparing the two, it seems that there
shouldn't be much to creating this code.

a C&SS driver pair must do the following:

create a pool of free resources (DMA, Interrupt, IO, memory)
allow drivers to "register" (ie. provide a callback address)
provide notification of card insertion to all registered drivers
parse Card Information Structure (CIS) data on the card (a pretty simple
format that's also documented)
remove resources from the pool when requested and put them back when
requested

The device specific driver is responsible for all else.

There's a defined INT XX AH=YY interface for talking to C&SS (I forget,
offhand), and since there's only one slot, the C&SS code doesn't have to
worry about resource contention with other cards (only static stuff).

I haven't looked in detail at Interrupt and DMA allocation, but IO and
memory resource blocks are available as dedicated to the PCMCIA slot.

The reason the standard drivers are not likely to support the HP is that no
standard PC has bankswitching in the same way as the HP, plus they're all
written assuming an Intel 365 compatible PCMCIA controller register set,
which the HP definitely does NOT have.

So there - a programming project for the brave at heart :-) I haven't got
the time to beat my head against the wall for this one, but I DO have the
time to offer support, advice, documentation, etc. for anyone willing to
try. (I'm too busy with Win95 PnP PCMCIA drivers).

Al,

I ran Advantis on the palmtop for a while (all of 1 week). It did pretty
good emulation, but I chucked it in favor of running tn3270 via my shell
account at work (accessed via Datacomm) cuz my 3270 needs are/were light
and Advantis was more trouble than it was worth to use (2-3 mb disk space,
another password to track, another set of phone numbers to track, etc).

Haven't tried Clarkson or any other 3270 in conjunction with TCP/IP.

I think the original poster meant that the TREMM driver only worked with
T2T upgraded memory (as opposed to new off-the-shelf HP 4mb models or
other rival 3rd party upgrades).

Probably neither he (nor I for that matter) realized that T2T offered a
1mb upgrade for $75 since we (and most others) went for the $199 4mb
upgrade which is the only one Mack offers on his website
(www.times2tech.com) and is the most cost-effective (if you can afford
the added $125).

My experience with digital images on the 200 has been pretty dismal.
With only 4 shades of gray (I think), anything other than an almost
black and white image looks bad.  I have taken some line drawings that
were basically black and white and used them on the 200 and they look
ok.  The only real use I could see for the 200 would be to transport
image files.

I have a Pouch (fairly low-tech appearing, neoprene, not protected on top

don't have the catalog in front of me) and a C.O.P.S. case (available from
the maker, who'll tailor it to your specs and also makes great cell phone

The latter two are very similar, with the following differences: the Ripoffs
case is somewhat bigger, has a bit of padding and offers slightly more
protection, and has a pocket for PC cards (where I keep my driver's license
and a few credit cards). The C.O.P.S. case has a much better clip: shorter
in length, stiffer, and it has NEVER come off my belt, whereas the Ripoffs
case does several times a week. I tend to use the Ripoffs case, though, and
simply put a wrap tie around the clip (location is obvious when you look at
the clip) and have the best of all situations, as far as I'm concerned. The
really ideal case would have the C.O.P.S. clip on the Ripoffs case...

I got the HP1011A at staples on a close-out for $10.00 dollars.  At that
price I bought two.

Hope this helps.

I would suggest it's not HP, but the magazine journalists who are
trying their utmost to ignore the HP200. It's in their interest to
push the latest whizzy gadgets regardless of suitability. Who would
trust a journalist who recommended a gadget that's been around for
more than 6 months!

I'M NOT SHOUTING BUT MAYBE I SHOULD BE

SO WHATS NEW. THE ESTABLISHMENT MEDIA HAS A NOTORIOUS HISTORY OF
YELLOW JOURNALISM. BYTE JUST JOINED THE CROWD AND SAID "ME TO".

LOTS OF JOURNALISTS CAN DO NOTHING BUT DESTRUCTIVE CRITS.

SHOULD WE EXPECT BYTE TO BE OF ANY HIGHER STANDARD NOW. I USED TO BE,
BUT
I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO WASTE ON IT ANY MORE.

I WISH I COULD GET A LIFE TIME GUARENTEE IN MY HP 200LX AT THAT IT WOULD
BE WORTH TWICE THE PRICE.

This would be Advantis Passport for DOS?  I use the Windows version to log
into work all the time.  I don't have room on my HP200LX right now, but I
hope to remedy that soon.  This would be ideal for those times that I need
to travel and am on-call for problems at work.

Thanks for posing this question! I tried the the messy solution (copying
.mdbx files to my HP and

using VR to read them.  Wow! I was able to read a lot of mail that I had
been neglecting and it

was fun being able to do it while at lunch, waiting for the commute
train, standing in line waiting

to register my car, etc.


I have a DOS software agent that helps me move the files to my HP.
Currently the agent doesn't do much--

it just changes to the proper directory and starts the connectivity kit
program and makes the connection to the LX200.

That way I don't have to remember all the keystorkes needed.  I plan to
automate the process further.


 The DOS software agent program is EasyShare, which is really quite
powerful.  Easyshare lets you integrate applications

that weren't originally intended to work together.   You can "scap" data
off one screen and plug it into another

screen on another application.  I used EasyShare to help me move 200
names and addresses from a flat file

into the HP phone book.  I tried converting the comma delimited file to
the phone book, but the conversion

wouldn't work and I got no error messages in the log file.  So as a
workaround, I just had Easyshare read the file and

"type" the info into the phone book for me automatically.

How do you like NetTamer?  Is it difficult to setup? Use?

Get a free e-mail account on hotmail.com and then browse your mail on
the LX with a web browser. Hotmail will access pop servers too.

Hello everyone,
I have been trying to look for a "calculated field" in the built-in

such type of field. Is there a way to define a calculated field there?.
Thanks in advance.

Got a new/used Megahertz XJ1144 from one on the list.  (Smiles)
Powered down the HP100LX like a good user.
Inserted the modem and hit the on button. . . and hit the on button . . . and
hit the on button.
Nada.  Zip. (Frowns)
Said to self, "Self, we have a problem."
Removed said modem card. Hit the on button.
Zip.  Dead as a hammer.  (Minor panic)
Removed all batteries and did a brain dead cold start.  Got it back OK.
(Great sigh of relief).
Modem checks out fine in the big notebook.

What's the deal here?  Anybody been there before?  The XJ1144 is supposed to
be within the 150 ma. limit.

There are a couple of problems hooking the Palmtop up to solar power. The
first is that the power in jack requires 9.6 to 14 volts, therefoe you
need a 12volt solar cell. Since about 100ma is required a 12 Volt 1 watt
panel would be needed (about $A38. This is about 150*150 mm which is the
same length but twice the width of the display. A regulator would also be
required since the panel is quite cabable of putting out 18 volts unloaded
which may cause the dc to dc converter inside the palmtop to go BANG! A
simple Zener diode would do the trick though. This arrangement could be
used with nicads for the palmtop user on the go. I've never tried this,
prefering to plug my palmtop into my household 12 solar supply (150 Watts
of solar)
Hope this has helped,
Peter.

I don't have a digital camera so I can't comment whether or not this is a
software problem but I do have a question. If you are using a standard hp
serial cable are you also using a null modem adapter between the hp and DC25
cable. The default hp cable is wired as a null modem with the recieve and
transmit wires swapped. You will need an addition null modem adapter to
change the hp cable into a normal serial cable. The DC cable expects to be
hook to a standard serial port and this may be your problem. Let me knew if
this cures your problem.

Good luck

Its a nice thought but K-Mart has 8-packs of Rayovac alkalines for
US$4, which is a lot less than the r&d required to make that kind of
device.  It might be an interesting thought for NiCd recharging tho,
if you could make the cells produce 12 volts.  Just leave the thing
in the sun and when you come back it's freshly recharged.

Intriguing.  I encourage you to look into it further.

As I said, I tried it quite a while ago and then only for a few days. I
seem to recall some lockup problems in using hot-keys....but don't
remember the details (nor the version number)...otherwise it looked and
acted 3270'ish.

I had been running tn3270 off my shell account at work as a work-around
and went back to that since it required no new passwords, phone numbers,
account numbers nor any disk space on the LX. Many of the 3270 special
keys were only marginally functional under tn3270, but adequate for my
needs (offsite timecard entry, mainframe email, mainframe batch job
submittal and query....all occasional).

Hi all Programmers!

Maybe have you seen that NKIT is now available on the SUPER page! If=

I had no problems setting it up, tho I hear from others that the
difficulty varies quite a bit by version (I use 1.08) and ISP (I use ATT
WorldNet). I don't think it took me more than 30min to get it working.

Probably took more time to figure out how to use it (well), since I had
never used an off-line mail reader before and the menus and documentation
sometimes leave you guessing.

From the past comments, it seems POST/LX is at least an equally viable
solution (that I haven't tried yet...guess I'm a sucker for pain <g>).

Back to MS Exchange....the only problem with the automatic forwarding to
my ISP is a slight time delay (usually about 15 min) and more importantly,
the received mail on my ISP loses the original "From:" email address, cuz
MSX forwarding makes all the forwarded mail come from ME (there doesn't
seem to be a RESEND vs FORWARD feature in MSX). The original sender is
denoted in the quoted area of the note tho.

Lastly, I use a Megahertz XJ3144 (14.4k) modem with no special setups in
NT. I haven't used any other modem, so I don't have anything else to
compare it to.

BTW, I also run NT on my 486 desktop at home (along with Eudora/Trumpet).
With several teens in my family vying for online time, NT lets me
read/reply to my email with the smallest window of connect time (when I
don't feel like plugging in the LX)...also I like using something noone
else will touch...maybe that's why we're all still using the LX <g>.

Since I couldn't get what I wanted from the guys that made the
"PhoneWorks ToGo!" PCMCIA modem that I bought, I conducted a
very scientific test to see if it was any good.

I got 2 brand new batteries and tested them to be 1.588 and
1.590 volts.  Put them and the modem in my HP200 and used the
modem for 1 hour constantly.  The battery meter (can you really
call it that?) went down as far as 1/4 available without ever
complaining that the main batteries were low.  After the hour
I pulled the batteries and checked them again and got 1.342
and 1.343 volts.  Is this good/acceptable/reasonable/etc.?

If so, I have access to over 50 of these things still factory wrapped
for a reasonable price (I can probably get them for ~$40 or so) and
would be willing to send them off to folks.

If not, then I have to return it before my five days are up (today!).

From the box:

PCMCIA card with some junky (for windows!) software that I didn't
       even look at
14.4 Fax/Data/Voice
Voice mail (you can connect your phone handset to this thing and
       listen and leave messages, I guess.  More windows junk.)

It is rated at 600mW operating, 50 mW typical.

Other than the possible battery eating abilities it showed, I had
absolutely no problems using this modem in my HP200LX.

jaime

Oh, yeah.  Anyone looking for a USR WorldPort 9696 modem?  I found
two of them at the same place for about the same price.  I don't
remember if they were opened or not.

Perhaps because I am new to the mailing list, I have not heard of
POST/LX. Is it by the people who make WWW/LX? (D&A?) I run Nettamer
pop-mail well on my Erol's account in the states, but have had some
problems connecting in Japan to a Japanese provider. The UI on the
off-line e-mail reader IS a bit challenging. If the POST/LX UI is
cleaner, well then...

I think the system manager of the 200 can't handle more than 12 EXM prog
so it can be great to have more exm prog only if someone can pass the
"12 EXM Limit".

                        F.X.

ps: may be i'm wrong on the number but i know there is a limit 8,
10,12... that doesn't matter i'm sure someday someone will have to go
over the limit...(remember 640ko of memory).

You're correct...POST/LX is also made by D&A (you may want to check out
http://www.dasoft.com).

POST/LX users will have to comment to you on the particulars of the UI.

Is there a web browser *small* enough and *fast* enough to run on the

Hi,

I can inform you that you are wrong there. We have much to thank the=
 Japanese
programmers for. Among many programs I can mention- MOREEXM. I have=
 currently
28 EXM programs on my HP 200LX and it's easy to run them from an icon=
 using
SMMX- currently I have 12 different menus (including the original one).=
 So I
hope that programmers outside Japan will take a look at NKIT. Since=
 all the
functions for the menus, buttons etc are already built-in in the palmtop,=
 a
program that usually takes about 25K compiled with Turbo C to an EXE=
 program,
will approx take about 3K if you make it as an EXM program.

Regards,

Jorgen

Thanks to all the people who responded on my questions regarding the 200
and a digital camera.  For those who are interested, I wound up taking back
the Kodak DC 25 due to inadequate picture quality and wound up getting a
Sony Mavica MVC-FD5.  It takes great pictures and uses regular 1.44M 3.5"
floppies as its storage medium, so I don't need the connectivity to the
palmtop anymore.

Here in the UK, Maplin sell a multi-voltage solar battery charger
panel (part no. CJ38R). It gives out a switchable 3/6/9 volts
(presumably regulated, but I'll need to check). It's rated at 50 mA on
the 6 and 9 volt ranges, which may not be sufficient to run the HP but
should certainly trickle charge the NiCads OK. At a mere 11.21 UKP I'm
very tempted to get one. Even if it doesn't work, it has a holder for
2 AA cells built in, so is still a useful gadget :-)

I was very curious about that camera. How well does it work? Also, what
type batteries does it use and about how many pictures per set/charge? Does
it write the floppy in standard DOS format readable on any DOS machine?
The idea of using a floppy for storage is very appealing, even if it only
stores a few pictures per floppy they are so cheap and compact you could
carry quite a few. I have a Ricoh RDC-2 which is nice and uses regular ATA
flash ram cards for storage but they are still a little expensive and it is
rather picky about the cards it works with.

What we need is a tutorial detailing exactly what format to use when
using built in code on the palmtop.  The SDK is helpful, but it contains
no examples, so people who are trying to learn to program EXMs could
become confused.  A guide to the many different functions in ROM,
including the BIOS calls, explaining how they are used and giving
examples, would be a great asset to the palmtop community.  I've done
some programming using the built-in functions, but I think it would be
much easier and more common with examples and details on the functions.

has anyone found a portable cd player with pcmcia interface which will work

alternatively, is there anyone who has tried one of the ones that looks like

Subject:      FLUFF:Sony MVC-FD5 Review was Re: FLUFF: Re: Digital photos (skip
              if you're not interested...)
In-Reply-To:  <199708121955.MAA34966@garlic.com>
Mime-Version: 1.0

I've had a few people ask me about the type of digital camera I
purchased... so I'm putting a mini-review of it here.   If you're not
interested, please skip this article.

The Sony Mavica MVC-FD5 is one of two members in the new Mavica digital
family.  It's approximately 4.5" W x 4.5"H x 2" D.

It weighs about the same as a good SLR camera.  It is unique among other
digital cameras in that it uses a 3.5" floppy disk for its recording
medium.  The camera has a 640x480 resolution, and can capture 24-bit color.
 Up to 40 "standard" quality images can be saved on a single floppy, or 20
"fine" images.  The difference between the "standard" and fine images is
the level of JPEG compression.

The camera has its own built-in flash, and it uses a color LCD display for
its viewfinder.  The LCD also doubles as an information display and a way
to look at the pictures you've taken.  The camera also has a macro function
that allows you to take shots as close as 8cm from the lens.

The camera uses a Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery, one that's in common
with their newer camcorders (or so I'm told).  The advertised charge life
is 2 hours, or 500 shots without flash.  I assume that running the flash
will considerably eat into battery time, however, having a rechargeable is
much better than plugging in alkalines or those expensive one-use lithiums.

Overall, I rather like it, although I've only taken about 25 snapshots with
it.  The quality is far improved over the Kodak DC25 I tried, and at $499
retail, it's not a bad purchase.  The biggest flaws I can see are:
Approximately 8 seconds between shots so the floppy can save the picture.
No zoom.
Somewhat bulky compared to the newer APS (film) cameras.
However, I'm willing to live with those limitations... I plan on using this
unit for web work... where it turns out a most pleasant picture.

For those of you who crave zoom capabilities, the MVC-FD7 will be coming
out in September which will include a 10X power zoom, and built-in special
effects.

For more info, hit Sony's web page at:
http://www.sel.sony.com/SEL/consumer/mavica/

I'm not an employee of Sony, just a (so far) satisfied customer.  I also
hope I haven't ticked anyone off by putting this here... I know it's a
palmtop list, but the response I got from people seemed to warrant it.

Bill

Help again:

Can anybody tell me how can I get repaired an HP200LX keyboard whose
buttons' contacts began to fail.
For repairing the unit HP asks a price higher than the street price of a
new unit !

I live in Europe but, depending on the price, it may compensate to send the
unit to USA.

Ok.  Its time I reveal my little secret.  Iam working on a Windows based
app that would talk to the pop and smtp server and generate UQWK packets
that can be then transferred to the palmtop and read using PNR.  Iam
actually planning to write a good UQWK client on the palmtop but right now
it has to be PNR.  I know that this is not necessarily what the initial
poster was looking out for but if the mail on the POP server is left
without deletion, it can be shared between both the desktop and palmtop
quite easily without any messy importing.

This has been a surprisingly troublesome issue for me too.  I have not been
able to find a good spec for QWK.  Is one available?  Does anybody know?
I will check out those sites.  Thanks Peter.

Send an email to Mack@Times2Tech.  They sell memory upgrades and speed

Sorry, Dunno about that. Just an idea. Seems as long as you didn't load

It can be run as a DOS app under Windows with the included APP100.PIF file
in the command line and APP100.ICO as the icon file.

If you don't use the default directories, you will need to edit the PIF
file  before exiting.  I haven't seen any evidence of mouse support though.

No, alas, it's written for dos only and CGA stuff. I have it and it's a big
disappointment. I bought it and returned it, it can do some things, but
crude. HP isn't going forward with anything to do with the 200 series. If
you want "Pocket Quicken" you can get it from Intuit, called "Pocket
Quicken Direct" for $29.95. Written for Win 3.1 but supports latest
versions of Quicken. Mouse? No mouse support unless you install it for DOS.

I get the feeling that HP is being really stupid with the 200LX, they have
a great "base" of users, and are being led by the nose down the Microsoft
path! But...What can I say, Microsoft IS THE FUTURE!?

Thanks for that Billy! Remember where you came from and let a few of survive!

Ok, this is wacky, but ...

Does a desktop monitor emit infrared radiation? I'd guess so.

So why not hold you hp200lx up to your desktop monitor, to download stuff
by flashing the screen? (like some data-holding watches do). The baud-rate
would be pretty low (max of 50 or 60 bits per second) But this would be
convenient to transfer reference stuff; eg the phone number you looked up
on the on-line phone-book; the journal reference, the catalog number of a
book in the library etc.

So, am I crazy? Also, what do you think of this idea?

Brendan

Yes, one guy is going to try to make the connection.
The Newton keyboard looks to me to be full sized!  You
could certainly touch type on it.

The diagrams for making it are said to be in the
compressed file that comes with the driver.

I'll keep you informed.  Have you looked at the pictures of it?  See below.

>From memory, there is a pretty good description of how to make this connector

Dear Mr. Philip Seyer,

This is Adachi.

   >>Can you suggest where or how I get a connection to the Newton Keyboard?

If you live in U.S. , I don't know how to buy the electric parts to
make a special cable for Newton Keyboard.

Please inquire in HPHAND that forum in CompuServe(BBS), NetNews,
Computer D.I.Y. or electrical store clerks in U.S. I have no
information about how to obtain the electric parts in U.S. Sorry.

Regards,

I got EasyShare from Adisoft in 1991.  Adisoft was purchased by EDP Auditing.
But Jim Holton still sells EasyShare.  You can reach him at 510-483-3556 or
via email at jholton@ix.netcom.com

I got EasyShare in 1990 (or 1991) for use in making PC FoxPro programs
communicate with
applications on mainframe computers.   It worked great and solved our
membership
verification problem.  Before it would take about 30 seconds
to swap out to the mainframe program and come back to FoxPro.  Using EasyShare
the time was cut to 2 seconds!  Not bad for searching through 3,000,000
customer
records.

I also used EasyShare to assist in sending credit card authorization
requests to Wells Fargo Bank,
convert Macinstosh data to PC DOS, and to access a "sister" company's
membership files.

The useful thing about EasyShare is that it lets small departments capture
mainframe data
without the need for a 9 month COBOL programming effort (which probably
would never
be approved.)

You can also just use EasyShare to integrate DOS applications.

In case anyone is interested in programming in Prolog PROgrammin LOGic, here
a note from the Prolog Development Center  (see below).  What I like about
working in Prolog is that it's more fun than than regular programming.
It's kind of like solving a logic puzzle.  Example:

            Sam likes women who dance and are cute.
            Tasha is cute.
            Tasha dances.
            Sam likes Tasha.

In prolog you would write something like this:

          likes("Sam","Tasha").

          Prolog would respond "TRUE."


You would also need to code a rule, like this:

          likes("Sam",Person) if
             is_a_woman(Person) and
             dances(Person) and
             is_cute(Person).

...and some facts like this:

           is_a_woman("Tasha").
           dances("Tasha").
           is_cute("Tasha").

Assuming you had facts about other women,
you could also find out all the women that
Sam likes, in a line or two of code.
Something like this:


    likes("Sam",Whom),
    fail, !.

Subject:      Re: Connectivity Pack - Question

Yes the Connectivity Pack supports windows (3.1)  and no it
doesn't.
Thats a realy short answer and shows the problems:

The pack can be installt in windows 3.1, which supports icons
for a) backup, b) linking direktoris (a:->e, c:->f: The first free
drives on the PC) and c) starting of the 200LX-PC-parts.

I'm, using a) and b), which supports a Windows interface using
the mouse for everything. Both parts work, only to backup the
palmtop f: drive I had to edit a *.ini file.

Part c: offers the palmtop-funktions as well as syncing files
on a DOS-screen, so you get a palmtop an the PC (no 123 and Quicken)
which has extra functionality for syncing files.
I don't use it, its a pain to waste a fully equipped PC with a CGA-
like screen.

All functions can also be done with DOS batch-files, which is
hard to find out, because its not documented.

The most I liked the ability of the program to have a free choice
of the com-Port and the interupts. (It helps finding the right
settings). I use it on COM3 so I can have the cable pluged in
besides a modem and a mouse.

So using windows 3.1 and sometimes also only DOS the pack is usefull,
but could be better.
Some time ago I read a message of someone using it with Win95, but
that was before transfile was out and it was realy tricky to install.

Hope it helped a little

Karsten

Nice idea, but you would have to write software for the palmtop
as well as for the desktop. I doubt it's possible to get something
realy usefull done with such kind of communication.

The other part is technical:
The IR-port is designed to suppress any information which differ from
the intended protokoll. This helps the port to eleminate background
noise like that of the desktop screen. This filter is build in in the
IR-receiver which in my oppinion will disable such an communication.

Worth trying, but no info about direct control of the IR port on the HP200LX.

Regards. Nacho.

P.S: Remember, 50-60 bits per second...

        Pure speculation, but wouldn't this be hard on the eyes of the
person holding the HP 200LX? I don't mean it would be blinding, or anything
like that, just probably disorienting, and might bring on a headache.

        Hi,

        The other day I was playing with my Hp200 and 'discovered' a file in
D:/BIN called keybez.kit. As I am curious I looked into it. It was Xined. Ok,
I de-Xined it. It is a long ASCII file... I started to read it... Oh! It
allows you to change the keyboard... well, not very useful for me... but wait!
you can change the font too!

        I took out the manual and looked for some info. It explained what
keybez does in a very summarized form. I could not tell from the manual if it
only works for System Manager or also for DOS, so I tried it. And it works for
DOS!!

        Well, the good news is that you can make your own .fon file, and make
your Hp200 use it. So you can redefine all the character set. That is what I
want. But, I must know the format of a Windows 2.0 font file. I have looked
inside the .fon file the Hp has built in, and discovered how the
character data is stored ( thanks hp48, you've been very helpful ), but I
don't know what are several hundred bytes around the data. Can anyone help me?
I've tried to find info about that 'Windows 2.0 font file' but with no luck.

Content-Type: text

What happens to the keyboards can be shock.  The several layers
of plastic plus elastomer can get a little separated, and the
elastomer doesn't make real good contact any more.  Pushing harder
just makes it worse, since the little fingers that hold the
sandwich together by friction can slip even more out of their places...

Unfortunately, you've got to take the unit apart just a little, so that
you can press things back together.  And if you are only slightly
less adept than I, it becomes a chore, but that's a different part of
the FAQ....

That I fully understand! As I know the only help would be to look at=
 the
enclosed source codes (several comes in the NKIT). In many Japanese=
 programs
the authors have been so kind to attach their source code, so this could=
 be
an additional source of information. Programs like POSTIT, DIAL, TASKLIST, =

ZOOM etc include source code. I don't mean that we should "steal" their
programms, but I am sure the source code can be very helpful. You can=
 also
find more Japanese programs at The HP Palmtop Paper web site and the=
 Japanese
vector site (I don't have the address now, but if anyone has please=
 give us
the address). Toshiki's DIAL program can be found at SUPER.

Then if there are several programmers interested in EXM programming,=
 you
could start up using this list as a forum and at a later stage we could=
 maybe
start a EXM programming list!?

Unfortunately, I am not a programmer (but I would love to be!). But=
 since I
know some basic C programming, I looked at some source code and could=
 put
together a simple program with menus, calculation and reading of the=
 serial
port. Of cource it takes some time to get into this with EXM programmin,=
 but
I am so excited that maybe I will try to do a simple EXM program myself.

If anyone would like to take up a challenge, then I must say that my=
 dream
program for the HP 200LX is a "Visual EXM" program. Something like Visual
Basic, but for the palmtop, on the palmtop- with resulting EXM programs.=
 But
I am afraid that this program will continue to be a dream- or??

Subject:      New DOS handheld...

E. Com international (privately held company in Beaverton, OR) coming
out this fall with a handheld called "Discovery". Specs are:  AMD 33MHz
'386 processor, OS will be DOS 6.22 or Win 3.1 (also a WinCE 2.0 version
later), 4MB RAM, 4MB ROM, minicard slot for flash, backlit LCD with 480
x 320 pixel display that can be rotated 360 degrees to be used as a pen
tablet, QWERTY keyboard + HWR, rechargeable Ni-metal hydride battery,
built in Motorola DataTAC wireless modem, $1,200, to ship this fall.
However at 28oz it looks closer in size to a PC110 / Libretto-sized
machine, so I'm not sure where it fits... too big for me, underpowered
compared to the PC110 / Libretto (though they claim 30 hr for battery,
unlike those two).... But, does it send the msg that DOS-based handhelds
aren't dead (tho most publications don't want to mention the HP
x00lxs...), which is good... So why couldn't HP have done the same??

Hi Mike,

I like using the Mod100 for packet.  It works fine, but of course there is
the problem of scrolling.  Solved that fine using the built in term programs.

But what is QRP about that?  I already use 100 milliwatts on 2 meters.  Are
you thinking of HF?

Or are you just wanting to sell the rig setup you have?

The Mod100 is QRP, but, am I misunderstanding?

QRP is using a HP200LX, KPC3 (or Baycom)and a Standard 508. Complete
station in a brief case with room to spare. hours of operation all on

I'll repeat the message I posted on HPHAND this morning below:
----- start HPHAND message----------
I had David Shier make a 200LX connector to the Newton keyboard for me
yesterday. It seems to work o.k. and allows for real touch typing on the
200LX instead of the thumb typing I've been used to for years. So it's
somewhat of an improvement. But there are some downsides. I'll play with
this thing some more and report the findings. Disclaimer, I still haven't=

read the documentation from the SUPER site, but the driver does look like=

another excellent Japanese contribution to the 200LX platform. The driver=

takes up less than 5K on my C: drive.

Positives:
 - real touch typing
 - plugs right into 200LX serial port, doesn't need extra batteries
 - light

Negatives:
 - it's designed for Newton, not 200LX, so keys aren't labeled right and
special keys aren't there. Takes some getting used to.
 - no escape key, uses the ~` key as escape key.
 - no hot keys (you can still use the 200LX keypad for program switching)=

 - no function keys (but pressing the apple key and a number key gives th=
e
equivalent of function key)
 - No backspace key. (The delete key works like backspace key.)
 - expensive (relative to 200LX cost and other IBM style keyboards.)
 - needs to be used at a table (not good in my easy chair, which is one o=
f
the things I like about using the 200LX).

Bottom line, if I had my druthers, I'd rather have a real standard IBM
style keyboard. But that doesn't exist now, and this makes an adequate
working subsitute in the time being until it proves out whether there is =
a
market for these things or not. I did notice my typing speed on the 200LX=

improved considerably using it.

David said he would carry these, but doesn't expect many orders. He can b=
e
reached at david@shier.com. I don't think he's thought of pricing since h=
e
doesn't have any of the keyboards in stock. (I brought a keyboard I found=

in a store). The setup is not complicated, for David that is <g>. Looks
like a perfect job for a cable expert.

Hmmmmm, this is getting interesting!
A Baycom on the HP200.... are there any Web pages that show a How-To?
What kind of antennas are you using for QRP?
What freq. do you use?  Is there one specifically for QRP Packet?

This is something I could get into!!

Could a keyboard such as Keytronics's "Lifetime Series" optical keyboard
work with this driver you mentioned?  I realize I'm dreaming here, but
it would sure be nice.

Does someone know how to make a interface to use a SONY mini disc
player/recorder with the hp 200lx or any desktop PC.
The sony mini disc would be a great storage device it has 640 MB on each
CD and is recordable!
It has a analogic and a numeric output.
Work with a battery for 2 hours (i think).

                Any idea or comment welcome.

Hi,

Sounds interesting, but with a 480 x 320 screen it will be a failure!

I use it under Win95 and it works fine.  In fact, I can't make TransFile
work under my current Win95 setup :-(( but the CPack works like a charm.
Since I back up my files to my PC (not using CPack) it will allow me to
use the LX's built-in apps to look at my backup copies of phonebook, appt
book, notepad, etc.

I do not use the sync features for my appt book, since I don't use the
CPack version of the appt book for entering new appts (I use Ontime for
Windows which allows group scheduling).

As another member wrote, you can buy the Pocket Quicken Connect from
Quicken to help merge the palmtop files with the desktop Quicken files.
The program that comes with CPack does not work with newer Q for Win
version (>= 5.0, I believe).

Watch out for Quicken's Connect program, it works fine for importing
_from_ the HP to a desktop, but when you transfer back to the HP, you
lose "detail".  Connect groups all the information from desktop Quicken
into one "transaction" on the palmtop.  I did not purchase Connect
because of this limit.

I wouldn't know why someone would buy a new product like this when the
Toshiba Libretto is a real computer. The prices aren't different enough to
ring my chimes. I'll bet that the Libretto will drop price at the same
time. This one sounds like one destined for the surplus stores in a very
short time.

I'm not being combative here, but why would additional hardware be
required?  As I understand it, the IR port on the HP can be "mapped" to
the UART as a "serial port".  If a program (something way beyond me, I'm
afraid) was capable of using the serial port, it should (with the proper
limits) be able to use the IR port as a mater of fact.

I stand ready to receive "teaching".  :)

Has anybody tried Adaptec's Slim Scsi card? Haven't checked out the web
yet, but may meet current standards.

Hi all,

Just in case anyone is interested, I found a golf game that will run on the
HP, but isn't quite graphical (it's text graphics).  The URL is:

 http://www2.netdoor.com/~whp1/games.html

You should have no troubles finding it once you're there.  As a side note,
there are a LOT of CGA games there, and all of them are pretty small.  If you
want a game to waste a lot of time with, that's a good starting place.

Thanks Again,
J.B. Raasch

I once heard that it is possible to hook up a PC or Mac keyboard to the 200LX. I was told that there was inforation how do do this (both hardware and software) on the SUPER web site. Does anyone know about this or have you done this?

I exchanged email several weeks ago with someone who tried it
(APA-1460-A), unsuccessfully.  It draws sufficiently little current,
but faces the same software problem as almost every other SCSI card: it
requires more recent software on the host side than the 200LX provides,
and replacement software is not available.

These are the PCcard SCSI adapters I know of, and the reasons reported
for their unsuitability:

    Adaptec APA-1460 (aka Slim SCSI)    no software support
    Eiger Labs EPX-SS1000               no software support
    New Media Bus Toaster               draws too much current
    New Media Basics SCSI               no software support
    QLogic (used with Panasonic CDROM)  no software support (Mr. KIM?)

Jim, excuse the heavy snipping...
On the subject of PCMCIA software support, does a driver (config.sys)
exist to "install" a TransDigital PCMCIA parallel port _before_ the Zip
Disk driver?  The problem as I see it is, in order to use a Zip Drive
from within the Application Manager, the zip drive must be enabled in
the config.sys phase due to (my experience) the incompatibilities
between Zip's Guest.exe and the Application Manager software.

I would like to see just what you mentioned below for the program.  I use a
billing program for windows called "Client Biller" which works well but
since I use my palmtop for everything now, it would be nice to keep track
of my work on the palmtop instead........

Unless you are a programmer and want to do something on the for Windows, it
would be better to concentrate on the program for the LX and make an
interface to export (import) data to the PC. There are plenty of programs
on the PC already to import to. Please make an expense portion of it too,
all the tax type stuff. The PalmPilot has a great one built in, just don't
like not having a keyboard to enter data with.

My 2 cents worth.

Suggestions using built-in 200LX software ...

Keep billing information in a Lotus 123 spreadsheet(s)?  You can create records with
time/date stamps by using simple macros.  And, you can automatically create bills or time
sheets directly from Lotus.

As for job information, why not create a simple journal/log database using the Notes
database.  I do this now.  I create a new file each calendar quarter and keep separate notes
for each client.  Each entry starts with a date/time stamp, created using a simple macro.

What nice about this approach is you don't use up RAM with extra software.

Sean,

I went through a search for software like this a few weeks ago (I could
write my own in C but just don't have time at present) and ended up
using a program called Timestax.  It's a DOS based app that can run on
an HP but needs about 300Kb to run, I suspect because it uses a dBase
file system.  I run it on my notebook PC rather than the HP as I wanted
to.  It is a bit 'clunky' to use initially, but I have it down pretty
good now.

The best feature I think is the auto-timer, which lets you start & stop
recording of time against tasks (like a stopwatch).  It's worth having a
look at before you write your app.  I print a report each week and enter
it into our office time system.

Improvements I would make to Timestax are...
0. Make it smaller so it is easier to run on an HP (removing the report
writer should achieve this and by the sounds of it you'll have that in
the PC component of your system).
1. Ability to copy an existing line (client/project/task) to a new day
rather than re-enter same details again.
2. Store last report parameters for next time, or better still allow
user to save different report definitions.
3. Only let auto-timer work on today's tasks!  This has caught me out a
couple of times logging time against previous days.
4. Display 'Today's Total Recorded Hours' on the main screen.  I quite
often do a simple report to determine how many hours I've logged in the
day so far.  Maybe also a timer since 8:30am (configurable) so user can
see how many hours they should have logged!  Depends on whether you want
to ensure that all time is logged somewhere.

If you want someone to comment on and/or beta test your software, let me
know.

Regards

Stephen

How about D&A Soft's TimeTracker/LX? This is the blurb from
http://www.dasoft.com/TT/tt.html

TimeTracker/LX - Time Tracking Software (TT/LX)


There are many reasons why you may want to keep track of how you spend
your time. Maybe you have to report it to your company,
maybe you bill your clients by the time you spend on their behalf, maybe
you just want to know where your time "disappears", or
maybe you have yet another reason.

TT/LX is a tool - optimized for the HP Palmtop computers and adapted to
their special features - that lets you keep track of your
time with a minimum of overhead.

- Longden

PS I am not a TT/LX user (satisfied or otherwise).

I just upgraded my 1MB 200lx to a 2MB.
I prefer this upgrade to a CE palmtop.
Especially since I bought WWW/LX post plus.

I can read mail and newsgroups on or offline...
browse the web online with inline gifs and tables.
Or set an appointment to download an HTML NewYorkTimes
in the morning as well as a GIF weathermap etc
everymorning before I get up, automatically.

I was impressed by the web browsing online.
The internet capabilites of the CE versions
were what got my attention until I tried
WWW/lx.   Instead, i can take the money i was
going to use for a ce and buy an 170MB HD for it.

I just got a Shark 250 Meg PC Parallel Port mobile hard drive made by
Avatar for my laptop.

According to the specs it needs a 486 or better processor with 8 Meg of
Ram to operate.

Is there any hope of hooking this up to my 200LX since it

1. Doesn't have a 486,
2. Doesn't have 8 Meg of RAM, and
3. Doesn't have a parallel port?

Anyone done it?

I know on the surface it looks impossible, but people in this group do
some truely amazing things with their HPLX's.

Thanks,

Marty Porter

I've got an old dos program I picked up at a discount computer store for

track of all my clients, time spent, and invoices them.  It was written in
1989 by Superior Micro Techniques, whom I've never heard of aside from this

it's not public domain (sorry!) otherwise I'd send a copy to SUPER.

At last! An upgrade path! You know, you could run linux on this thing...

But expensive and heavy (28oz = .79 Kg, according to HP CALC:);
though including a wireless modem... and it could have a newton-size
keyboard already built in... :)

How hard would it be for HP to bring out a DOS version* of the 300lx
hardware or a linux version? Perhaps HP has had this in mind all the time;
as a fall-back position after WinCE fails (or is firmly established).

* I never heard of DOS for a RISC processor ... maybe there's a good reason
for that?

Howdy all,

For simple operations (+,-,*,/) in a database it would be
possible to use
a smart clip coupled with cbcalc.exm, it can be found at
http://www.oohito.com/200lx/200lx_j.htm
all documents in Japanese but just install into moreexm something like
this:
c:\bin\cbcalc.exm,8300,1,Clipboard Calculator
put an equation onto the clipboard ie. 1+2+3, hit the hotkey, ALT=, and
paste the result (should be 6 :-). No use for multiple records and only
does integer maths (1/3=0) but it may be of use to someone.
Ciao,
Peter

Note that the palmtop has to be on to charge the batteries, and that it
has two charge rates 100mA and 45mA, the 45mA cutting in after 6 hours.
I'm sure one of the many battery utilities would allow you to trickle
charge from the start. In my book, 3 volts @ 45ma = 9 Volts @ 15 ma if the
Dc to Dc conversion is 100% efficient but I'll bet you find it wants
100mA+ at 9.6 Volts
Good luck,
Peter.

her a favor and post the ad on the list.  It reads:

I know you guys know all of the above. Well, anyways. Do you think you
know anyone that might be interested in buying something like that?  She
has all of the boxes (unopened), and the machine retails for $600+.  She
is willing to sell it for less.  How much should she be asking for?
Please let me know if you have any info.

It seems to me that using it would be possible if the proper drivers
existed for it.  The Card Batt Low message is designed for RAM
cards -- it doesn't mean anything in this case.

My ISP still allows dialup connections, and runs a program called
SOUPpacker, it will compress your mail and newsgroups, zip them into a file,
and download them to your computer. Then I run Paperboy, which unzips the
files and allows reading, replying, etc.

The cool feature is that each newsgroup is in its own text file with the
messages in sequential order and all headers attached. I use Transfile to
transfer the newsgroup I want to read, rename it as tthiel.nws, run PRNTI to
format, and then PNR to read, save, reply, etc.

Now all I need is a flash card so I could copy more than a couple of groups
at a time.

     Hi!
     Well I just got news from the my company (H-P). They are reducing the
     price on the HP320LX by $100.00. Do not know about the 300LX. But the
     320 must be really selling for them to reduce the price.

At last! An upgrade path! You know, you could run linux on this thing...

But expensive and heavy (28oz = .79 Kg, according to HP CALC:);
though including a wireless modem... and it could have a newton-size
keyboard already built in... :)

How hard would it be for HP to bring out a DOS version* of the 300lx
hardware or a linux version? Perhaps HP has had this in mind all the time;
as a fall-back position after WinCE fails (or is firmly established).

* I never heard of DOS for a RISC processor ... maybe there's a good reason
for that?

My opinion on this whole thing is that it is probably not the salvation =
of the
itty-bitty real computers.  I'm a bit cynical, here's what I think....

Perhaps -- but you'll be able to run linux on the 200LX RSN anyway, &
with this new computer's low-res screen it might not be the most
scintillating clocks you've ever spent.

> But expensive and heavy (28oz =3D .79 Kg, according to HP CALC:);

My opinion is that the 200's keyboard is nicer than the Newt's anyway,
and besides, with a Newt keyboard, it's the size of a laptop regardless.
The wireless modem is a good thought though, but 28 ozzes is too
heavy for my taste.  I like the 200's paperback book size and weight.
I paid about US$600 for my 200 4M and I don't think I would spend any
more per cu. in. than I already have.  (I figgered it out -- $20 per cubi=
c
inch!  wow...)

A linux port might not be tough but DOS is damn near impossible.  You'd =
need
an entirely new ASIC for a processor, peripheral, and display system that=
 would
run under DOS.  DOS is strictly Intel 80x86 - based, much like CP/M was =
8080-
based.  So basically the whole system would have to be redesigned.  Might=
 make
a good 400LX tho.

Sorry to burst anyone's bubble about this issue, but that's the
way I see it coming around.

Even more cynicism: 200LX linux is a wonderful idea, even though memory
protection is not available. But is it really RSN? It's a big project, and
I'd guess only a handful of people are on it.

But: the removeable ROM on the 300lx suggests an OS upgrade? Plus, unix
surely rivals DOS in terms of (free) software availability.

If you look at Mr. Butler's postings, they all say that.  P.S.: People like you ought to

Using info from this list (and elsewhere) I have the Connectivity
Pack working reliably under Windows 95; other than the fact
that it has to run full screen, it works (for me) at least as well
as it does running on naked DOS.  The set up took a little work,
but it wasn't complicated...

Should fix your disk problems, and remove the protection.

The 3x0LXs are upgradable via a new ROM, I think, because we had a beta
of WinCE 2.0 where they just give you a new ROM.

        Even more cynicism: 200LX linux is a wonderful idea, even though
memory
        protection is not available. But is it really RSN? It's a big
project, and
        I'd guess only a handful of people are on it.

        But: the removeable ROM on the 300lx suggests an OS upgrade?
Plus, unix

     Hello,

     Have you seen AuctionWeb?  I just bought a Megahertz 14.4 Modem for
     $35.97.  A search for past HP palmtop sales showed:

     HP 200LX Palmtop-EXCELLENT condition $215.02

     Palmtop Computer - HP100LX with 1meg memory $108.50

     HP200lx Palmtop $250.51

     HP200LX Palmtop Excellent Condition +Extras $260.00

     These prices aren't a steal, but they are less than retail.

     Hi!
     I used to own a 320 lx and I for one do not believe that they just
     "give" you a ROM. I do believe that you are going to pay through our

Please note that some of the e-bay auction deals listed were with
reserve prices, and never real deals. I won two of them, the HP 200 to
215.02 and to 251.51 ($). But the first seller would not sell below 275
and the second one is not responding.

Just to inform you that the prices on e-bay not always reflect actual
sales.

Best regards,
Gert Thomasen, France

I currently receive the digest form of this mailing list and use a DOS
based reader to help read the messages (LXDR downloaded from the S.U.P.E.=
R
site, I think). Does anyone know of an alternative maillist reader that
runs under Windows 95, and ideally allows the management of messages e.g.=

sorting, archiving, deleting etc. =


Thanks in advance

Another list member, David Sargent, once posted a detailed description on
the web (I'm sure there are others too...I just happen to have bookmarked
his). Look at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp/inside.htm.

Try Eudora Pro.  It's a Email program that allows multiple mailboxes with
all kinds of filtering, sorting,......etc.  Best on I've ever used.

I'm using Microsponge Exchange.  Fits all the requirements and was here

Have a look to the HP site.  They have a new software called tfwin200.exe.
It works with 95 NT and 3.1

I would pay an extra $99.95 in addition to the list price if an HP320

Subject:      Calculator World?

Has anyone here done business with Calculator World?  They're a
mail-order dealer in Bethel, PA that advertises in the Palmtop Paper.
Dejanews revealed only one mention of them (neutral), in connection
with the purchase of a 200LX.  I'm familiar with NSW and Educalc, but
both are out of stock on the item I seek and poor at handling
backorders.

Hey, wouldn't that be a hoot! You could program in all your own favorite
programs, like packet programs, web browsers etc. and leave the rest
out!

Is this a real possibility?

I think that the screws are under the four round rubbers in the back of the
200LX.

I saw some story about disassemblying the 200LX in a WEB page. The URL is:
http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp/inside.htm

I guess that the instructions that come with the RAM upgrade will be
helpful too, if you find someone that can send you a copy.

S.U.P.E.R

        Thanks in advance

It seems strange that the hardware would require a 486 and 8MB, are you
sure that isn't something to do with some of the software (i.e. for

        I just got a Shark 250 Meg PC Parallel Port mobile hard drive
made by
        Avatar for my laptop.

        According to the specs it needs a 486 or better processor with 8
Meg of
        Ram to operate.

        Is there any hope of hooking this up to my 200LX since it

        1. Doesn't have a 486,
        2. Doesn't have 8 Meg of RAM, and
        3. Doesn't have a parallel port?

        Anyone done it?

        I know on the surface it looks impossible, but people in this
group do
        some truely amazing things with their HPLX's.

        Thanks,

        Marty Porter

If anybody wants one, I have 2 to sell, a 1 meg...$200, a 2 meg for $250
both with books and in excellent condition! LX200 that is. NO BIDDING, I'm
here! I answer the phone, I have them, I can ship them COD. I have a 4 meg
and love it! These can be bastardized to Pentium 266's if you like. I'd

You can only find them with magnetized Torx drivers.

I'll bet TechRam has a few extra parts!

         A quick note.  I am running my HP200LX 2meg, with a 10meg
flash-ram
card. I am also using a homemade serial cable (with help from the SIG)
that
interfaces to a KPC-3 TNC. This all ties to my Kenwood HT-79AD Ham
Radio. I run APRS on it and am working on a HSP cable to also interface
my Garmin GPS II. It all runs great with no glitches.  HP made a nice
piece
of Hardware with this one.

I also would suspect that when you finally have your new ROM, the most
urgent thing you want to have is then either another new ROM (which=
 is
supposed to fix all the bugs and deficiencies of your new ROM - this
goes on in an endless selling loop) or you will urgently want to buy=
 a
new, more powerful machine that can keep up with the new memory and
speed demands the new ROM will have.

Why should MS behave any more "customer friendly" in the PDA market
than they do in the desktop market?

All just my personal opinion.

Andreas

I don't (yet) own a TransPC, so what little I know if from Craig Payne's
review and the Zip docs (from the web site).  Craig Payne reported
successfully transferring files to and from the Zip with the TransPC.
Since the review was of the card and its software, details of the Zip
software were scant.  It isn't clear whether he used GUEST.EXE, much
less where it was installed.  It also isn't clear if the file copies
from DOS.

To which experience are you referring?  Have you used the Zip with the
Quatech?

                                -Jim.

Well, Mr Butler, I did at first think it was a joke, so I had a look at
the only other of your posts I had - but that posting didn't include the line
in question! Ho, Ho, I thought. However, I am glad to discover that it is
just a normal part of your sig.

By the way, surely a "zinger" closely resembles flame-bait, in that it seeks
a similar response? Congratulations! :)

I am of course joking. I still think it's offensive; OTOH, it's *extremely*
silly to be offended by flame-bait...


BUT - returning to topicality, however fleetingly: if someone went to the
trouble of writing a version linux for the 3x0lx (which I think would be
easier than writing one for the 200lx) you could install by just popping a
ROM in (more or less)! And the 3x0lx is a much more powerful machine - it's
just that it's strangled by its *wince* OS.

Try the "assign" command, or find a full release of DOS 5.0 and use the
"subst" command.  Both commands are "external" so you can copy the subst
command to your HP from where ever you have DOS 5 located.  Assign is
all ready on your HP.
Good luck!

Well, I'm having a similar problem when using Qualx!, the email
utility that enables you to use the built-in cc:mail application to
receive and send mail via the internet using UQWK.

As the documentation states, one can only configure the c:\_mail or
a:\_mail directory for receiving email. Since my flashcard
(Smart) installs as F: and cannot be installed as A:, I have to
receive email in the much smaller C: drive.

I am looking for a way to make Qualx! recognize the messages.dat file
on my F: drive when received in f:_mail.

The "assign e:=3Da:" command in my autoexec.bat seems not to work with
my card since changing drive to E: results in en error message ("not
ready" I believe it is).

Anyone have an idea about this?

try assign f:=a: instead. This will make your card appear as a: or f:,
also make sure your last drive setting is correct.

If your card installs as F:, rather than A:, maybe you should try:

"assign a:=f:"

I would think you're getting the "not ready" msg cuz the "assign e:=a:" is
trying to re-designate the A drive....but there isn't one.

PS - You can also try the DOS SUBST command (found on full DOS 5-6.22
installs). Using it would free 1.5k of conventional memory. I guess the
command would be something like:

subst a: f:\

Hello!
I've got some problems with my HP 340 printer and my HP 200LX. When I
print via IR the letters =E5=3D"fn + 7" =E4=3D"fn + 5" and =F6=3D"fn + 4"=
 is
converted to some strange characters.
Is there any way to fix it?

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

I have been an user of the HP palmtop since the 95LX. I work in a hospital
and always carry it in the pocket of my white coat. After 4 years of
continuous use and multiple fallen, my dear palmtop died. Recently, some
months ago, I had to take a difficult decision: What palmtop would it
substitute to my LX95? After analyzing carefully the option of the new ones
with Windows CE, I took the decision of buying a LX200 with 4 Mb (of what I
don't repent, only of not having had the 200LX before). My desire was that
the programs of the PIM ran with my PC under Windows 95. For this purpose I
bought the HP Palmtop Software Kit (Yellow Computing). This kit includes:
the Transfile Win 200 (connectivity and backup software), a CD - ROM with
multiple programs freeware or shareware, a connection cable and a version
for Windows of the Phonebook and the Appointment book. HP has developed
these last two programs and they run under a Windows 95 interface (not in a
window of DOS as the programs of the Connectivity Pack). Regrettably the
other programs of the PIM, like the database or the Note-taker, are not
available in a Windows' version. If anybody knows about other applications
of the PIM for the Windows environment, she/he could give it to know to this
list.

I think the HP 200LX could have a long and prosperous life if HP takes more
support for it and its users. My ideal would be:

1) All the programs (including the calculator) of the PIM should be
available, at least, in these platforms: DOS, Windows 3.1, 95 and NT, Mac.

2) This software should have a true synchronization function.

Regrettably I am pessimistic in that respect. HP has abandoned the LX series
and they think the Windows CE it is the future (and present). At least I
hope that in 4-5 years, when I should possibly change my Palmtop, the
Windows CE has evolved enough so that the transition is to improve and it
does not to worsen.

May I suggest Pyuma Technologies IntelliSync.  This program serves
_very_ well as a bridge between Microsponge's Schedule Plus (including
both appointments and contacts) as well as support for some other data
formats.

>2) This software should have a true synchronization function.

See above.  IntelliSync even handles "collisions" between the
information on the palmtop and in Schedule Plus.

HP better not abandon the palmtop (95/100/200, etc.) they can't afford
to lose that many professionals.  I'm sure some of my equipment
purchasing is a direct result of the usefulness of my 200LX.

Educalc (www.educalc.com), 800-677-7001. They had it for $79.95 in my last
catalog (#74).

You may also try Notebook Supply Warehouse 800-566-6832. Once upon a time,
they were giving away a free copy of SC with every LX memory upgrade.

The makers of SC is Sunshine Software (I don't have their number).

Or you can purchase it direct from Sunshine Software at 1-800-553-0400
for $89.95.  Try Educalc first, as they sell it $10 less.

I am looking for HP 200LX, 2MB.  I am planing to upgrade speed and

I passed along Phil Drummond's question to Craig Payne, who had reviewed

copying test in AppMgr or just DOS.  His reply:

    No, I tested in plain DOS and AppMgr. But I may have not used the latest
    code. Transdigital supplies code in the ROM on the card. Has he contacted
    Transdigital?

Any 200LX (1mb or 2mb, older or newer) can be upgraded to a full 8mb
with the new 8mb upgrade.  So if that's the route you're planning to go,
you don't necessarily needa newer model.  Although it might be less
expensive for the upgrade.

I'm curious about the configuration Mr. Payne used to test his TransPC
card and the Zip Drive.  Would someone with a working setup post the
config.sys and autoexec.bat files they are using?  Also please make
notes of any other configuration "hints" which might bring me from the
dark pit of stupidity I seem to be wandering about in.  :)

At risk of frowns from the List... Whats the current price asked for
8meg of palmtop bliss?  Is this upgrade as simple as unplugging the

Yes, Times2Tech does the 8mb upgrade.  You have to request it, though.

It was $249 for a newer 2MB 200LX, $269 (I think) for an older one, last
time I checked.  It's much more difficult than the 6mb upgrade,
involving soldering and cutting out of existing chips.  Thus, you have
to send in your palmtop to Times2Tech to get it done.  No "at home" kit.

From what I understand from the guy's at NSW, not all 200LX machines will go
to 8MB. And the last I heard, they were still giving away Software Carousel
with their upgrades.

Well, I tampered around with this for a while and did
as follows:

 I deleted the assign e:=3Da: and replaced it first with f:=3Da:
Result: the palmtop could not find the flash card any longer.

But  when I turned things around (assign a:=3Df:), all worked
perfectly well and still does...

Thanks!

This is the Software Carousel of years gone by, but newly rewritten
specifically for the HP 200LX.  Special functions like alarm
recognition, blue key recognition, keyboard configuration-- all
specifically for the 200LX.  I have version 6.80, which I think is
current.

 I bought my 200LX on E-bay for $300 with a 10 Meg flash card, cable,
nicads, charger, etc. I thought it was a good deal. AND the system is in
good shape.
I guess it just depends on the seller.

Ok, thanks for that...wasn't it part of Quarterdeck in the early days,
don't think they wrote it (when the 2 women owned the company), someone
else picked it up? Just curious.

Does anyone have a history on the LX200's, are they still being made? I
have a 96 4 meg. If they are, it a secret message that HP can't kill um!

No, Software Carousel is a task switching program.  With it, you can run
several copies of the System Manager or DOS applications at once, each
with its own environment.  It used to be used frequently for application
switching on desktop machines, but nowadays, with Windows, nobody needs
a DOS multitasker.  Except us palmtop users...

Of course it a possibility, after all you just spent $700 for a palmtop
that crashes without notice, is pretend windows and doesn't support
anything. I'll pay another $99 for an improved edition! Maybe it will work
this time!

I've observed recently that my HP200LX has begun to lose time from time
to time - sometimes it is battery powered, sometimes it is plugged in to
the AC. I have checked the backup battery under Setup and it is OK. Any
idea what's happening? Thanks.

Subject:      200LX Battery Life
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

Currently, Buddy is reporting that I am getting >40 hours of battery life on my 4 MB 200LX
w/2 MB Ram card, using 1 pair of AA Energizer batteries.  This is over 20 days of usage.  I
only use my serial port once a week for backups and I use the AC adapter at that time.

This seems HIGH.

I only use my LX for 5 minutes at a time.  Is Buddy fairly accurate in recording usage hours
under these conditions?

When I was using a MP120, I had to change the batteries every ~10 hours, and that was using
4 batteries a hit.

If my 200LX is really getting 40 hours, I can't imagine anything else on the market with
this level of computing power coming close!

Assuming your speed hasn't been doubled, and you don't really do any high-power things
such as use a modem, high-speed flash card, etc., that sounds about right.

The MP120, of course, had a much higher-power-consuming processor...I would expect the
200LX to outlast it batterywise.

Not really anything else that does come close.  Of course, your battery time goes down if
you double the speed, or use high-power cards, or do a lot of serial transfers.  But, it's
just the age-old tradeoff of battery life vs. performance.

I think that HP really missed a true opportunity with the 200LX.

I doubt if anything on the market today, let alone when the 100LX first came out, comes
close to providing the true daily use functionality and utility of the 200LX!  And now, its
really too late for HP to do anything about it after investing in WinCE  :-(

Trying to configure Buddy and maybe I have a brain blockage but if the

boot autoexec? Read the documentation and can't figure it out.

Copy the ROM config.sys and autoexec.bat files from D: to C:, or create your own.  DOS will
always look for autoexec.bat in the same drive as config.sys.  Also, DOS looks for
config.sys in C: before D:.

Yeah, and if you copy config.sys and autoexec.bat to the A: drive, you can boot up from
there, too.  Unfortunately, you can't boot another version of DOS, because it always loads
the pre-config.sys files from ROM.

So then, the next obvious question is: Why not use the HP's own task
switching program? It seems to do the same thing. Doesn't it?

that reason reprogramming the ROM wouldn't work.

Does anyone know the answer to this?

If anyone is interested in long life batteries, here is a guy who claims
that a nuclear battery using non-lethal alpha radiation could be built
that would last TEN years. He has demonstrated the technology already,
and the technology has actually been around since the thirties. (just
suppressed)

Hello All,
        Speaking of diaries, is there a good diary program out there that works
well on the 200LX?

You mean the task switching that System Manager does?  The difference between that and
Software Carousel is, you can only have one DOS program open at once, and a DOS program
consumes most of your memory, leaving little left over for the built-in apps.  Software
Carousel actually creates up to twelve other areas that each act like a separate palmtop.
You press SHIFT-2, and switch to work area 2.  You can run the System Manager again, and
work on another database or phone book at the same time you have one open in area 1.  You
could run Derive, or Turbo C++, or any other DOS program that requires a lot of memory,
and switch back and forth between them.--

Sounds interesting.  Hopefully we'll have some prototype AA's soon.  :)

Speaking of batteries, on a side note, does anybody know when current battery size
standards came into being?  (IE, AAA, AA, C, D, etc.)  How long have you been able to go
down to the store and pick up a pack of AA's?

I looked, and couldn't find one.  So now that's on my list of projects.Vivek Venugopalan
<vivek.venugopalan@USA.NET> is also working on it.  It's sort of a collaborative effort.
I'm not sure when it'll be ready.

What's a diary program?  What features would it have?  Why would you need it?
You can make a customized database for keeping a diary with the built-in
database program.

i'm not given to "me to" but that is exactly correct, and its the reason no
200lx was in the "byte" magazine article.  once you get it right (as hp did
with the 200lx) you have nothing else to sell - except to a new customer.  if
hp were to magically add a 386 chip to our 200llx, what would you get?

the ability to use slightly newer out-of-print software, that's what!

programs like wordperfect 5.1, quatropro 5.0, and timeline 5.0 all run on the
current machine (and run quite nicely on my times2tech speed doubled one.)
 these let me do absolutely anything that i need to do.  i also have
commuinications packages, games, and the rest.  none of this has earned hp a
nickle, since the initial hp purchase price.  (and my wife's machine didn't
even earn them that, since it was a used unit.)

even the oft' lusted for bigger/better screen is an iffy thing.  how much
more often would i decide not to take my palmtop, if it were even 25% or 50%
bigger and heavier.  how much more often would i decide not to turn it on a
make a note, if i was worried about the much shorter battery life?

either i'm to easily pleased, or i'm too old to get excited by change for
changes sake. --  what ever the case, i've got what i like & i'm happy with
it as is.

cordially,

lynn m. cavendish

Sounds good to me, I thought of this, but with the pressures of daily
life crunching in on me, thought no further. I have to be in a really
relaxed state of mind to do anything but just USE the LX. What sort of
keystrokes would you suggest to make a simple diary-entry format with
the Database? (just point me in the right direction, I'll get it)

Want-um 300-320 stuff, go to this address and put "subscribe-HPLX" body of
the message. You'll get all the help you may need. Also if you want
something that works better, stay here and get a LX200.

Hi.
I have an Infotel 14.4 pocket modem with AC adapter.  Although the
previous owner stated it worked fine last time he used it, I have tried
everything to get it to work as a data modem to no avail.  However, it
does seem to work fine as a fax modem (I tried QFAX and it worked
fine.).  If anyone wants this for $5 plus shipping, drop me a line.

Cheers.

I am currently building my home PC from individual  parts purchased from this
auction and I am saving a lot of money in the process.   I would recommend it as
a source of cheap ( but good )  equipment.   I only wished I had known about the
auction when I purchased my HP200LX.

All items that contain a reserve prive are indicated and all reserve price
auctions I have seen have the reserve price as their first bid, so it is usually
not possible to bid below a reserve.

If you have not tried the auction, and there is an item that interests you, try
it.   You will not be disappointed.

Cheers

Steve

MIME-Version: 1.0

I noticed a peculiar problem with my 200 LX.  Screen contrast goes down
when it is plugged into the adapter and charging batteries.  After a while,
it becomes virtually impossible to read the screen.

When unplugged, it goes back to normal, gradually, over the next 10-15
minutes.

Does anyone have an idea of what is going on.  My computer is still under
warranty.  It seems I may have to exercise it (warranty).

Suppose it can be due to usage of infrared remote control.

This seems to be a common (maybe normal?) thing for all 200lx's.  I seem
to remember some people saying theirs get dark while others (including
me) have screens that get light during recharging.

I think the discussion went that the heat generated from the recharging
affects the circuitry for the display (that's in the same area).

Most of us are able to compensate with On-(+) to darken, or On-(-) to
lighten.

If you can't adjust the contrast to be readable during recharge, then I
agree that I would send it back to HP. Not being able to use it for 6
hours on a regular basis is NOT acceptable.

I believe that the 200LX has a built-in temperature sensor to compensate
for changes in operating conditions.  The charger seems to generate a
little heat which causes the display to change.  I don't think there is
anything wrong with your machine.  I ususally have to adjust the
contrast during charging.

It's been nearly a year and a half since I had time to do anything
with HisWord(tm) Palmtop Bible.  This weekend I finally had a couple
of spare hours, and I made the following minor changes:

1.  Removed the registration requirement to access all features.
Although my family and I would still appreciate receiving postcards
(we've received hundreds from all over the world!), the workload has
become too great for me to supply individual registration numbers.

2.  I added the capability to restrict word searches to a specific
range of verses.

3.  I documented a couple of hidden features that have been in
HisWord all along, but were never in the .doc file (A "reading"
bookmark, and an optional memory remaining display).

I hope that by offloading some of the workload of processing
registrations, etc, it will enable me to work on some of the
"todo" list items.

I also hope to work up a FAQ in the next week or so, which should
reduce my time answering some of the more commonly asked quesions.

If you wish to be removed from this mailing list, or are receiving
duplicate msgs due to my having more than one email address for you,
please drop me a note with your desired change(s).

Is anybody using Concentric as an ISP? They are supposed to be a
nationwide internet provider. A Shell account is included in the $19.95
monthly rate. They have "pine" and "elm" for mail. This seems a simple
way, using a comm programm on the 200LX to get mail as I travel - or to
use a modem, cable and cellular phone.

        I looked at the responses, with the primary one being "fiddle with
the contrast: this is normal." I have noticed an alternative. With third
party software - I use BCC - it is possible to get the HP to charge at
"trickle" much earlier. The lower heat generated charging at "trickle" does
NOT affect the screen contrast. You have a usable machine during the
recharge without having to fiddle with the screen contrast.

        Of course, this is at the expense of having a LONGER recharge.

The WinCE machines don't use a 80x86 processor. Most of them use the SH3
processor by Hitachi. Since DOS is closely tied to the 80x86 architecture,
a port to a new processor would really be a big headache, since all low
level assembly routines would have to be rewritten.

But even in case somebody is mad enough as to do this port, no program
designed for DOS would work under this new DOS without recompiling (since
the processor instructions are not the same). So, I guess it's not worth,
since the main reason to get DOS working on a WinCE machine would be to use
existing software.

Regards. Nacho.

I do exactly that.  I've used them for about a year.  they used to have a
lot of problems, but now I connect at 28.8 solid every time.  Occasionally
I get dropped off for no apparent reason.  Teck support is OK, news goes
down a little too frequently..

But yes, I do all my mail in pine.  That way if I'm at work, at my
parent's house in New York, at a conference in LA, or in the recovery
room after my daughter was born, I have access to all my address books (i
even wrote a perl program to convert my company's email list to a pine
mailing list every time it is updated), saved mail, and newsgroups.  Works
great.

Don't forget the web page and ftp access.  Only things missing (if you're
a unixhead like me) are emacs, perl, bash, and procmail.  They have a few
dozen CGI scripts you can use that should suit your needs.  One way I've
found to get around the no perl problem- awk is a programming language,
too!.

The real thing is that HP is still making the LX200 to this day. Will they
be making th CE units in 3 years? Not even! I personally think the Lebretto
type paltops will come down in price to the point where it's not a question.

Problem: Reading the stacked volume from my HP200LX on
my new laptop computer.
Yes, I lost the setup instructions that came with Ace's
card.
Here is what I did...inserted the card, allowed Win95 to
wizard the setup, inserted, when prompted, Ace's Program
Disk,
Version 2.01. This installation ran fine.
Then, when I mounted the PCMCIA card, noticed all my info
was in a stacked volume: stacvol.ace.
Anyone out there have Ace's installion instructions for
loading
their software on a PC?
Thanks to all for reading this rambling message

I think we are all fooling ourselves.  HP may be making LX200s, but they
are keeping it a secret.  I have not found them in any store.  Even
mailorder catalogs do not mention the LX200.  You have to know you want a
200 and look for it specifically usually from mailorder houses because it
is impossible to buy them from Office Depot, Staples, CompUSA,
MicroCenter, etc.

Sounds to me like they are making them for whoever specifically asks for
them but they sure are not publicising their existence and are letting it
die.  What a bunch of dummies.

This is incredibly important -- and a frequently overlooked point that
makes the 200LX so useful. Like the HP12C, I expect it to have a long, lo=
ng
life with little modification to the core usefulness. It will also contin=

to come down in price, but still hold its value reasonably well. It is
unique in the computing world -- it is as useful today, as it was when
first released -- and marches to a different drummer than standard
computing products which require bloated upgrades every year or two. The =
CE
machines, REQUIRE a Win95 or NT machine to be useful, whereas the 200LX
doesn't need anything else to be useful.

IMHO this is true in many respects. Many small vendors nearly died this
year because they couldn't get 200LX's that ran out of stock because HP
filled a huge corporate order and then ran production for the CE units.
Supposedly that problem is over though. The 200LX has found its way into
many commercial and industrial applications and I expect that is where it=

will stay except for the few of us who will sell to consumers. The
commercial market should keep it alive for a long time to come.

Hi John,

I'm interested in one of your palmtops. Please advice how to handle
this deal and how we proceed.

A friend of mine bought the HP 320 unit
saying "the future is calling."  I was leaning toward the 200LX.

I kept thinking: do I really want to buy an older, outdated machine?
Finally, I gathered up my
courage and bought the 200L, anyway.   I'm glad I did.  Now whenever I have
a free moment
I can pull it out and:

    - Program in Prolog (a 5th generation language)
    - Do musical ear training (to improve my ability to identify melodic
intervals)
      composing and improvising ability)
    - Study Japanese -- I'm learning the Japanese writing systems:
katakana and hiragana.
    - Turn my palmtop sideways and  read novels, email, and other text
documents in
        an easy-to-read, narrow column of text.
    - Learn to play IGO (a Japanese game similar to chess)
    - Develop software agents using EasyShare.
    - Learn and use the AWK programming language.

The list goes on!  I'm constantly finding new programs I can run
on my 200LX.

None of this would be possible with the 320 LX!

I've written a program, EUDO2ZIP, that reads a Eudora Lite (and probably
Pro) mailbox, and generates zip files containing the individual messages
(so I can use PKUNZIP to browse/delete/etc on my 200lx).  Optionally it can
scan for LISTSERV digest internal headers and split  the individual
messages up.  I won't take up any more bandwidth here, but it is available
as freeware on my web page http://www2.netcom.com/~johnws/index.html.  If
you try it, I'm interested in feedback, pro or con.

        Hello - yesterday I accidently sat down on my 4 year old HP100LX
and snapped the LCD.  I was in church, and I had to stifle a loud cry
when I opened the cover and saw the black morass which used to be my
palmtop screen.  Can I get it fixed?  How much would it cost?  How much
could I buy a used one for?  Should I downgrade to a 320 or palm pilot?

        Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The 200lx has a built in calendar I would like to use the date data
to make a planning software for my Projects. I would also like to see on
the planning the meetings i've got and dates...

It would look something like that:

# |Task name |  1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |<-Days
1 |  study   |************|   |   |
2 | developp.|    |   |***********|

etc...

To have the days i need the data of the built in diary/calendar.

PS: REMEMBER IT'S FOR THE 200LX.

DON"T buy a 320 or palm pilot!  Been there, done that.  Then CAME back to
the HP200.
You can pick up a used 200LX/2meg for around $250 with some accessories.
Everything you have on your 100 will work on the 200.  You can transfer
everything ove to a 200 blindly even if the screen is damaged.  Done that too.

Goos Luck.

Brandon - I sympathize, but just think how many Pilots you would have
already destroyed!  On the other hand the hp320 won't fit in your back
pocket so it would last longer.  In fact it'll be collecting dust on the
shelf or it'll be tucked away in your briefcase.

From all I read it's going to cost a lot to get it fixed, so you'll have
to swallow hard AND BUY ANOTHER hp100 or 200lx.  Perhaps you can get
more memory - and go for a 200 instead of a 100!  God moves in
mysterious ways!

Being more practical, the most cost-effective answer is a second-hand
machine. comp.sys.palmtops is full of them (that's all you find there
about the hp100/200lx - all the normal newsgroup traffic having moved to
this mailing list!)

Good luck
Jez

Hello - yesterday I accidently sat down on my 4 year old HP100LX
and snapped the LCD.  I was in church, and I had to stifle a loud cry
when I opened the cover and saw the black morass which used to be my
palmtop screen.  Can I get it fixed?  How much would it cost?  How much
could I buy a used one for?  Should I downgrade to a 320 or palm pilot?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Do you have a list of local access phone numbers for Concentric's dial-in?

I'm on the move (like you), but several of my calls are from smaller
cities that get some coverage from my current ISP, ATT WorldNet. I would
like the shell access (and Pine/Elm), but I'd like to make sure I'm not
going to get reamed by the phone company.

I just had a great experience with Shier Systems. They actually had IN
STOCK everything I needed to recommit to my 200lx (after a bad 3-day
320lx experience). WWW/LX and Software Carousel (for the earlier
question regarding that).

They are at www.shier.com or 805-371-9391.

Publicity! That's what the LX needs. Now if one of you can just figure a
way to make a headline grabbing event (on the positive side...please) with
the LX, the rest of us would be just SO grateful <g>.

OTOH, Jeff Goldblum saved the world with an Apple Powerbook and alot of
good it did for Apple. Likewise, an F-20 Tigershark was used to shoot down
an alien spaceship (abeit a friendly one in the movie "Starman), and
Northrop was still unable to sell any of those jets.

MAYBE HP is hushed about the LX EXCEPT to their own employees....promoting
CE to their rivals, as part of a strategic plan to gain a competitive
advantage. How diabolically clever that would be! <G>.

I'm using the hp200lx since 2 month and up to now only connect it to the PC. So I am not familiar with any link or data com s/w.
Is it possible to dial a telefon number in tone mode, so one can use the 200LX as a automatic dialing tool (for instance from the address register) ? I did not find any hints in my manual !

Kind of like the Volkswagon beetle of the computer world, yes? I guess the
HP stands for "Herbie Palmtop" (for movie fans).

Enjoy it while you can (for the next 13 years), and hope that by then,
(when CE has maybe made it to XZ), there'll finally be something better.

I recently saw a freeware (I think) version of dos called FreeDOS that is
written in 'C'.  That might be portable enough
for the job but if we can burn a ROM for the HP, I think the effort must be
spent on porting linux for the 320lx since it is a better operating system
(true multitasking for one)

This is a different problem altogether.  To run existing programs, a DOS
emulator has to be developed which runs on CE

Tom,

I just wanted to give you a whole hearted thanks for your work.  I
happened to buy a 8mb Flash card from Sears yesterday(btw, it was
$139!).  I downloaded hisword.zip, av.zip, and cxref this morning and
got it working on my 200lx.  It is great.  I have been wanting it for
a while, but I just didn't have the space on my 2MB machine.
Your work is really appreciated by a bunch of folks, me included!

Thanks,

Doug

P.S.  You will get my postcard soon!

When you merge 2 phone files, do you have to run Garlic and when is garlic
used. There were no docs with the galic I downloaded.

Hi,

I'm pretty new to the 200LX, but have already figured out a bunch via the
great faq that exists - including how to have the filer lauch dos
applications based on the file suffix.  Unfortunately, it doesn't say
anything about launching the hp applications from the filer.  Anyone
know how to do this?  Specifically I'm trying to launch 1-2-3 with
*.wk1 files.

A similar question: How can I launch the built-in apps from dos?

Thanks,
Rudy

Does anyone know how to have more than one category be the "category"
field type? Whenever I construct a new database in the HP200LX, it won't
let me have more than one field as a "category" field type (it is greyed
out after making one field this type). Yet, the built in restaurant
database does have multiple "category" fields.

Am I missing something pretty obvious?

The stock restaurant database only has one category field (these fields have
a little, black up/down arrow next to them). The database app is limited to
one of this type of field and to one of the Note type of field. You have not
missed a thing. :)

This can't be done without KS. You can get by without PNS200, but you would
not want to. A line for the PNS200.INI to launch Lotus files looks like this:

I use the category to help me type in certain info.  After you have
created the database and you are adding records  just type into the
"category" field what you want.  When adding the next record hit the
down arrow and select what you want in that field.

I use the new version of WWW/LX with Post/LX for ALL of my E-mail and Newsgroup activities. I also use the Web Browser part of this fine product to travel the Internet, write and update my web site. I travel a lot and changing access numbers for my ISP is very easy. There is a learning curve involved but it is an excellent product. I especially like the feature of reading and writing e-mail off-line. This means that every morning I press a button (pardon the lack of technical jargon) and come back later. My e-mail has been sent, received and phone line disconnected.

The hardest part "might be" the settings for your own ISP (Internet Service Provider). If there is no script already provided for your ISP in WWW/LX, you may need to write one. I want to compliment D&A customer support for helping me with this task.
In conclusion: I highly recommend WWW/LX with Post/LX. I use it for ALL my e-mail and Newsgroup activity. I am sending this note with my HP200LX.

I tried out a friend's newly-purchased 320LX last week.  I'm glad I had a
chance to try one of these WinCE machines because it has strengthened my
appreciation for my little HP100LX.  The 320LX's screen had poor contrast
and most of the processor's time seemed to be taken up by the GUI...the
PocketWord application wasn't even able to keep up with my typing speed.
Worst of all, the WinCE machines are not true pocket computers.  They're
just too big to comfortably slip into my pocket or equipment bag.
Requiring a Win95 box to load software onto them is also a real limitation
(my buddy has a 286 desktop and the 320LX).  Having said that, I do wish my
100LX had a few of the 320LX's features:

1. Pen input (for quickly jotting down notes or diagrams).
2. Back-lit screen.
3. More than one PCMCIA slot (I know, I know, the 320LX only has one PCMCIA
slot
   but it also has a Compact Flash slot as well).

BTW, I used my LX's spreadsheet app to calculate lists of target times for
an offroad rally I was in yesterday.  We didn't place very well because I
nearly flipped my Jeep over when I drove off the road and wasted valuable
time winching back onto the trail BUT the LX made it much less stressful
for determining how our timing was coming along.  By the end of the day,
everything, including the palmtop, was covered in dust.  I vacuumed the LX
last night and today it's back to its regular function as my phonebook,
scheduler, and work-related information repository.  Such a versatile piece
of equipment!  My brother, who was navigating for me, is already talking
about building a serial input box from the speedometer's pulse counter so
we can write a rally calculator which reads the vehicle's speed directly
and can be calibrated for any tire size we happen to be running.

...lars (will probably wrap it in a zip-loc bag for the
         next rally)

If you use a GPS unit it will give you a position, heading and speed
report that can be logged and replayed later. This would be portable and
would be able to move to any vehicle without special wiring to the
speedometer.

Has anyone tried Ricochet modems on the LX200? Another one to try is the
Motorola wireless modem although I hear they are expensive to run.

MIME-Version: 1.0

DATABASES
I would like to know if anyone has experience with large phone or appt
databases on the 200lx
Specifically, my database files are growing larger than 50k and I'm
wondering if there's
some kind of maximum size at which point the apps suffer severe speed
degredation.

On a related note... My databases have corrupted several times and I've
corrected the
problems with GARLIC for the most part, but some corruption appears to
exist.  On occasion
I'll see random characters in an appt, or addrs.  Is there some way I
could perhaps export and
then re-import the file to clean it up?

x2 UPGRADE
Has anyone had negative experience at all in upgrading the speed of
their 200LX ??
I'm also questioning how worthwhile it is to upgrade the internal memory
considering
that I could probably get PC card memory much cheaper...

PC card prices...
So, where does a person find the best deals these days on PC cards???

Thank you! (in advance)
Marshall

Gang,

Good news/bad news.  While this might get your batteries recharged without all
the heat, this will probably shorten the ni-cad battery life.  Starting a
recharge before fully discharging the ni-cads will cause the capacity to drop
(memory effect).  Not as convenient, but a better way would be to have an
external charger and do it outside the hp.  Personally, I have been using
alkalines so it's just an observation from the boatload of other stuff I have
that use ni-cads.

        I looked at the responses, with the primary one being "fiddle with
the contrast: this is normal." I have noticed an alternative. With third

"trickle" much earlier.

Try this combination:

http://www.port-home.com/transpc
CD-ROM for parallel interface.

It works on an XT notebook, so it should workon HP 200.

Does anybody have hints how to write and ASM code to get
an EXM result? (I have some games I write in ASM some time
ago. I might try to convert these to EXM if I get a hint)

I bought the WWW/LX from official dealer in Germany. I gave him
all my data phone/fax/email/address. However I did not get any
advice about POST/LX coming out. Later I found someone to mention
it in this list.  I found that it is in fact an upgrade for my WWW/LX.

But:
1. Why did not D&A inform me about the upgrade?
2. Why is there just a rather vague info on their WWW site?
3. Why are there NO SCREEN SHOTS of the soft on NET??????

....... The only answer is POOR MARKETING

> If the POST/LX UI is

I would also like to try out POST/LX. But is there any chance
without paying additional 30 bucks? (What about limited
demo version for registered users of WWW/LX ... e.g.
with diabled POP function...?????????????)

....... The only answer is POOR MARKETING

This is the BIIIIG difference of Bill Gates.

Plug in a PCMCIA modem, and try to run NETTMER or WWW/LX.
Or try to be sending faxes using e.g. QFAX. After sometime
you find out the it does not work....

I.e. you loose connection when ON-LINE with Nettamer
or WWW/LX. You must turn the HP 700 on/off to start up the
modem/fax again.

The reason: The built in NOKIA card causes interferences with
another modem plugged in the PCMCIA slot.

However HP keeps silent......................!
(We lost a customer who wanted to buy 60 units of HP 700 and 60 Nokia
phones, and 60 ATA cards 40MB and 60 PC-card modems. All this
went dead, because HP 700 is a spoilage hybrid.)

That's true. But there are *always* some system-dependent routines that
have to be rewritten. Not an easy task. And for that, we would need to have
access to a quite complete documentation about each WinCE internals. I
guess it'll not be for free or even for a reasonable price. It's really a
pity.

I agree completely. I don't like DOS, but I know it very well, that, and
the fact of being able to run existing programs as they are, are the two
only advantages of DOS actually IMO.

Porting linux to (for example) the 320 would be a wonderfull job (provided
the full information I mentioned before). But let's be realistic. The
people like us that would enjoy that, are just a drop in an ocean. Handheld
devices are mainly used by people that use it for organizing, but never
ever think about programming for it.

     Hi!
     Yes it has two slots but will recognize only one at a time. If you
     have a modem in the PCMCIA slot you can use the compact card. But you
     can't use both at the same time.

I tried out a friend's newly-purchased 320LX last week.  I'm glad I had a
chance to try one of these WinCE machines because it has strengthened my
appreciation for my little HP100LX.  The 320LX's screen had poor contrast
and most of the processor's time seemed to be taken up by the GUI...the
PocketWord application wasn't even able to keep up with my typing speed.
Worst of all, the WinCE machines are not true pocket computers.  They're
just too big to comfortably slip into my pocket or equipment bag.
Requiring a Win95 box to load software onto them is also a real limitation
(my buddy has a 286 desktop and the 320LX).  Having said that, I do wish my
100LX had a few of the 320LX's features:

1. Pen input (for quickly jotting down notes or diagrams).
2. Back-lit screen.
3. More than one PCMCIA slot (I know, I know, the 320LX only has one PCMCIA
slot
   but it also has a Compact Flash slot as well).

BTW, I used my LX's spreadsheet app to calculate lists of target times for
an offroad rally I was in yesterday.  We didn't place very well because I
nearly flipped my Jeep over when I drove off the road and wasted valuable
time winching back onto the trail BUT the LX made it much less stressful for
determining how our timing was coming along.  By the end of the day,
everything, including the palmtop, was covered in dust.  I vacuumed the LX
last night and today it's back to its regular function as my phonebook,
scheduler, and work-related information repository.  Such a versatile piece
of equipment!  My brother, who was navigating for me, is already talking
about building a serial input box from the speedometer's pulse counter so we
can write a rally calculator which reads the vehicle's speed directly and
can be calibrated for any tire size we happen to be running.

...lars (will probably wrap it in a zip-loc bag for the
         next rally)

The Arisona packet radio group is selling garmin GPS units for $99. The
have a serial port that can be connected directly into the HP LX. I have
had a unit going for months. They have a home page that has links to a
number of GPS software providers.

I just purchased the 8MB upgrade and the speed upgrade from Times2Tech
and so far it seems great.  Speed is at least twice as fast in some
applications.  I have a couple of database files over 50k (1 over 600k)
and processing time does slow down a bit but it's still tolerable.  It
still searches quicker than it takes Win95 to boot up on my desktop.
The speed upgrade really helps.  I can highly recommend Times2Tech.
They did exactly what they said they would do.

Just cover it in shrinkwrap!

You will be able to read the screen, press the keys.... ETC!

Used my 95 - now in retirement - with 123 SS in economy run.  Calculated
required speed to complete each leg in allowed/remaining time.  Will dig
it out - should be somewhere on a disk.

Do you have the URL for the Web site?
Is it a parallel reciever?
How many channels?
Power Source?

I have Ricochet (SE model) and it works fine on my 200LX. Works just
like ordinary modem,
connected to serial port. There is no direct cable connection to LX type
serial connector as Ricochet
cable is design to plug into standard serial plug. You have to use LX
cable+male-to-male+ricochet
cable to make it work... A bit cumbersome but it works. Anybody knows of
other alternative or
a good and reasonable place that could make custom cable?

My phone databases corrupt when the batter gets low.  I change batteries at
2.6v just to be on the safe side.  Never fails, my phone databases are the
first to suffer.

Do you keep your PHONE.PDB file on a PC card?  If so, I suggest moving
it to the internal "C" drive.

The problem is twofold:

1) GPS accuracy varies and a 100m variance (at the most) can cause
   some navigational problems in a rally where many turn-offs are
   clustered together.
2) Rallies are held in mountainous and heavily forested terrain.  My
   Garmin GPS45 lost signal several times.  The newer 12-channel units
   would've worked better but still not well enough.

Well you don't have to work entirely blind - you could connect it with
Cpack running on your desktop computer, split the screen to view the
palmtop drives and do the transfers from there.

I found a couple of postal rate programs for the PC, but all are too big to
run on the LX200. Does anyone have or have seen a program to calculate
postal rates. Sounds like something for 123 but maybe a database. I ship
FedEx with is no problem at all, hate UPS, they destroy too much. I need to
us USPS for some cheap items, trouble is that you need a magic decoder book
to figure out shipments. Thought would be very handy to have it in the LX.

there is an additional benifit to getting another hp200lx.  even if your
screen is busted, there is a good chance that you can still run the old
machine in SERVER mode, via ir link.  now you magically have another meg of
backup storage.

i know it will be a pain to set the screen-less unit up for server mode but
since you have the new one to look at while you echo key strokes on the old
one, i don't think it will be too tough.

Are you using Software Carousel?  I have never had corrupted files in 4
years use of a 100LX.  When I bought a 200LX and started using SC for the
palmtop, I got several corrupted files.  Took off SC and no more corrupted
files.

Another reason for corrupted files is if you let your battery levels get
too low and the HP dies on you.  Non rechargeable alkalines tend to dip
suddenly in power towards the end.

Several years ago, my 95LX screen repair was $172 (US).  I presume a 100LX
would be more due to the increased resolution.  Hope this helps.

Only 1 category field exists.  The choices such as breakfast/lunch/dinner
are "option buttons"  within a "group box".  If you have limited choices,
this works well.

Buddy handles this well too, but it includes hundreds of other features as
well.  It's available at www.palmtop.net/super or www.buddy.com if you are

My 200lx screen was cracked when my unit fell off the car and was run over.
 I sent it to HP for repair and it cost $175.00.  I think I remember that
they told me if the repairs were more than $280.00 they would just replace
the unit.  Don't know if this info is still good for the HP repair center,
all this happened about one year ago.  You can see the broken unit on my
webpage at www.hom.net/~owensam/ptidx.html if you want.

good luck,

Owen Samuelson

There is a dialer program called LX-DIAL on:

          http://www.palmtop.net/super.html

I've tried it, but can't get it to work.  If you select a phone entry and
press a Fn+<some defined F-key> , LX-DIAL comes
up.  Then you can press H to dial the home phone, B for business etc.  When
it "dials" it sounds the tone needed to dial
the number--so you have to hold the LX up to the phone.

Challenges:
==========

   It's too slow in loading -- so it is recommended that you have some kind
of double speed enhancement.
   I can't get it to make any sounds at all -- so it doesn't work for me, yet.

Has any one else used LX-DIAL successfully?

Right!  And one way to get publicity is to write a tactful
letter to some of the magazines.  I intend to write to Byte
asking why they did not review the 200LX and explaining why
I'm happy I bought 200LX and not the 320.

In doing this, I think its helpful to focus on facts rather than
creative, emotional statements that slam the 320 without supportive
evidence.

Another ***BIG *** advantage of DOS that is that
DOS enables you to easily automate a *lot* of processes that normally must be
done manually in Windows.  Simple things like copying files, setting
read-write
access, overwriting protected files.  It drives me nuts in Windows.  With DOS
I can set up a simple batch program and run it with a single click.

Just because you can easily do something manually in Windows, doesn't mean
you should have to do it over and over again if it is a routine task.

And external DOS programs are relatively easy to create; they are easily
transportable--they aren't fat monsters that require a lot of baggage: dlls,
ini files, resource files, pbd files, bmp files, and you name it.

That's why I decided to write Ear Trainer (a music education program)
in DOS first.

I agree that most people, though, are users not programmers.  Still, there
are a ton of DOS programs out there that people can enjoy with a Palmtop.

Subject:      WWW/LX Post/LX...I love it!

This message was sent a few hours previous under an incorrect subject title. Sorry for the duplication...
--------------------

I use the new version of WWW/LX with Post/LX for ALL of my E-mail and Newsgroup activities. I also use the Web Browser part of this fine product to travel the Internet, write and update my web site. I travel a lot and changing access numbers for my ISP is very easy. There is a learning curve involved but it is an excellent product. I especially like the feature of reading and writing e-mail off-line. This means that every morning I press a button (pardon the lack of technical jargon) and come back later. My e-mail has been sent, received and phone line disconnected.

Sources:
D&A Software: 818 341-1188
Educalc: 800 385-9376
Shier Systemms: 805 371-9391
Cost $109.00

The hardest part "might be" the settings for your own ISP (Internet Service Provider). If there is no script already provided for your ISP in WWW/LX, you may need to write one. I want to compliment D&A customer support for helping me with this task.
In conclusion: I highly recommend WWW/LX with Post/LX. I use it for ALL my e-mail and Newsgroup activity. I am sending this note with my HP200LX.

Some people (like me) are just lazy.  They want to just click on your URL
to jump to it.

So instead of typing:

   "You can see the broken unit on my
  webpage at www.hom.net/~owensam/ptidx.html if you want."

You might consider typing the full URL, like this:

    http://www.hom.net/~owensam/ptidx.html


Eurdora will then highlight the URL indicating that it is a link.

It's true about being a drop in the ocean ... but if the ELKS project is
happening for the 8086... a 320lx project has more to work with, apart from
raw processing power: memory protection on a processor that (I'm sure)
already has a version of linux written for it.

I thought there was some discussion in the old mailing list about Year
2000 and its effects on the LX.

Seems like there was some point, well after 2000 that some LX apps would
have problems, tho maybe 2011 wasn't the right number (I just tested in
the Appt app and it seems you can't "goto" (F5) any year after 2100).

Subject:      Project management software
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT

A few weeks ago some people were discussing the Japanese software
package (PAL) for project management on the palmtop, called PJT2.

Since there is no documentation available in English, there were
plans to start writing down everyone's experience with this nice
little gadget. What happened to the initiative?

Does anyone still have a copy of the messages that were exchanged
concerning this topic? I would like to contribute, without, however,
repeating things that have been said before.

According to my experience, that happens to Ni-Cd rechargeables. The
voltage drops very quickly when they get discharged, moreover, they can
develop "memory effect" which makes things worse. The voltage in the
alkalines drops smoothly so you can figure out when they are almost empty.

I am unsure as to why a *.pdb file would become corrupted on A: drive
any more than on C: drive while the flash card remained in the PCMCIA
slot. However, if you run a PCMCIA modem as well as a flash card, have
any database file stored on the flash card & take out the card to use
the modem while the database is open, it is more than likely that the
file will become corrupted. This was my experience the one time I did
it. Since then I have stored my important database files (appt.adb,
notes.ndb & phone.pdb) in the C:\_DAT directory so that the auto-save
feature will always work in the database files. By keeping my most used
*db files in this directory I minimize the risk of inadvertantly
corrupting them.

I started that and yesterday night I recieved from Kiyoshi the first draft
of the translation he made of the original Japanese docs.  I will in the
next day or two package it into a zip file which will include the
documentation we have figured out and send it to SUPER for everyone.  The
Japanese docs, even translated are not very clear and hence the need for
the suplemental file.  Between the two you can easily work the app.

I have a Garmin 45XL and agree that the signal can be easily lost.  I
have the external antenna which improves the situation immensely.  It
has a suction cup that can be mounted on the windshield or sunroof.  A
little inconvenient in the woods, but ok in a car or boat.

I keep all my .*db files on the flash card and use a PCMCIA modem daily,
but I almost always close all apps before making the card switch.

I use a macro to do the close ({More}{Menu}{Enter}L{More}), and I rarely
get any corruptions anymore.

All GPS-units without external Antenna lost signal in forest terrain. I =
have Garmin GPS II Plus 12 channel and it work very good in open terrain =
inside the car. In forest or mountain You must have external antenna.

Second problem: 100 meters position accuracy. It is idea civil GPS.
GPS system has two system=20
1. military system with great accuracy
2. civil system with signal disturb and position accuracy about 50-100 =
m. It is enough for many application i.e. Yachting or road navigation.
You may enhance accuracy of Your GPS-unit by DGPS receiver but i dont =
know if GPS 45 can work with DGPS receiver.

I believe that you need a null-modem adapter as well as a gender
changer.
That combination worked fine for me with the 300LX, but I had problems
getting WWW/LX to work properly.  I was able to connect to my ISP and
receive
my IP address, but that's as far as it went.  I still don't know why
that didn't work.

I now have the newer compact Ricochet modem that I'd love to get working
with the
200LX as I'm returning the 300LX.
If anyone has a lead on the custom cables I'd love to hear about it.
I'll bet that Redmond Cable would build them for us.

Nope, haven't tried SC yet, but I'm planning on buying it if the price
is right.
My corruption occurred when I had a TSR lock up my machine.  At the same
time I was running another TSR that speeds up the database routine.
The combination was lethal.. :-(  It killed my reoccuring appts.
I'm not using either of those TSRs now.  If I use SC, I'm going to close
all
databases before swapping.  I'm once bitten twice shy.

ThinFax is ok.  They don't have drivers for the RAM in the version with
memory if you intend to swap between W95 and your palmtop.  (bummer)
The modem works great and my ThinFax/4meg has been working for two years
now.

Also, Differential GPS (DGPS) must be receiving correction values that
are broadcast from a (usually) land-based transmitter. Therefore you now
have two concerns; are you receiving the GPS signals from the
satellites, AND are you receiving the corrections. Many differential
setups are designed with sea coverage in mind, so land coverage may not
be too good. Yes DGPS is much more accurate, but check the coverage
before spending the dough  :)

Can anyone suggest an ANSI C compiler to run on the 200LX? (need it for a
class).

I know this has been hashed over quite a bit, but it was never clear to me
whether shareware compilers (ie, PCC) were any better than cheap (Mix) or
outdated copies of commercial ones (Turbo C++, Quick-C)...and I probably
wasn't paying attention anyway.

The class requires the compiler be fully ANSI compliant.

Thanks for any feedback on this.

I use turbo c 2.0 it's great it has a good debuger and you don't need to
compile from dos line (unlike with pcc or zcc where you have to write:
E:\tcc\tcc test.c test.exe -frhiurfrf and then look in a text file to
see the error(s) )

Identifying the best compiler for palmtop development is a very useful
thing.  I would like to run a survey on this

Can all the palmtop programmers answer a few questions for me please

1.  What language do you use to develop for the palmtop?
2.  What compiler do you use ?
3.  Where did you get it? Is it still available?
4.  Why did you choose it compared to the other compilers you tried?
5.  Do you run it on the palmtop or your desktop?


Please mail your replies to vivek.venugopalan@usa.net.  Please do not post
it back to the listserver

I had used Borland Turbo C 1.0 for my C class a couple of years ago.
I had just recently looked for the disk and couldn't find it ;((
It fit on one 1.4 meg floppy with room to spare.

Anyone got a copy to sell??

Thanks to all respondents. Seems several of you use Turbo C (which is
largely unavailable unless I get lucky at the swap meet), and some have
proposed PCC which I've now tried on a sample class problem and it appears
that PCC is not ANSI compliant.

Some others mentioned Power C from Mix Software (a $20 compiler)...but
didn't venture any opinion on it....does anyone use this or have any
comments on it?

- Longden

PS - Vivek is right...a survey of C compilers that work on the LX would be
a good thing to see. Please forward us any final tallies.

Content-Type: text/plain

Is it possible to emulate or simulate a vga display for the 200lx?
Lots of software are only made for VGA drivers and won't work on the
200lx only because of that it would be great to be able to use vga
software. May be we would need a function to change colors like cgahlp
but whcih can change colors even when the prog is loaded (like we can
change contrast with on+ or on- or on/).

        I hope i will have the answer soon, thanks

Content-Type: text/plain

Would it be possible to run win CE software on the 200lx.
I think it would be necessary to have a emulator or something like that
but i'm not sure it's possible. Anyway any idear is welcome...

                        FX.

PS: Win CE seems to have more and more interesting programms.
PS2: We would need to have a mouse driver to use it has a pen.

Does anyone have any experience in using the following on a 100/200LX:

 - ACT! for 95LX
 - ACT! for DOS

Any opinions on whether they are worth acquiring?

Thanks,

        Hi,
        I'm the guy that sat down on my HP100LX recently.  Thanks to
everyone for your sympathy and suggestions.  I plan to call the HP
support center and get an express exchange as Gardner Cohen suggested.
I have a couple of followup questions before I get on the phone with HP.
This unit had a couple of other problems - a serial port pin (pin1) had
broken off, and the infamous right hinge had been replaced with a
glued-on strip of aluminum.  Will they penalize me for these other
problems?  Also, my 100 has 2Mb of RAM.  Is it the same cost
($175+$65=$240) to replace a 2Mb version?  I don't see why not - they'll
get a working 2Mb motherboard in exchange.

I briefly used ACT! for the 95LX a few years ago.  As I recall, you
could only have 1 database of contacts which was unacceptable for me at
the time.  Otherwise, it seemed ok.  I have not tried it on a 100/200
platform.  Should work ok.

I would suggest Turbo C 2.0. It's quite small once installed, and very fast
compiling, but no C++ (I guess you don't need it). I own more recent and
better compilers (like Borland C++ 3.1 or Watcom C/C++ 10.5), but STILL use
Turbo C 2.0 for compiling most of the simple projects I program on my
desktop, mainly because -I insist- it's fast as light when compiling.

And, as far as I know, It's full ANSI C compliant and the code quality is
very good.

Regards. Nacho.

P.S: I hope it's still being sold. Otherwise it's gonna be quite difficult
to get. Drop me an email in that case.

Subject:      Laplink under Win95

For those who were interested in the issue of connectivity and the 200LX
with the Win95 desktop (or seemingly lack thereof) perhaps you may wish to
have a look at Pete Jordan's notes on the subject. I saved the web page
some weeks ago and only got round to reviewing it today so I can't
remember the URL but I think it's on Murray Barton's site. Pete's address
is listed as 71533.2001@Compuserve.com.

I tried his recipe today and I'm pleased to report that it works quite
well on my Win95 system so far. It completely replaces TransFile200 for me
which was quite slow (@57600 on my machine) and sometimes unreliable
(though not as bad as WinFiler). For some reason TF200 worked flawlessly
on my Satellite notebook but not reliably at all on my existing Win95
desktop!? With this method of connecting (Laplink from Cpack200 is
required) all my palmtop drives and their contents appear in the Windows
Explorer (including F:) and I am free to drag, drop and do many other
useful chores. Connecting and mapping the drives is as easy as plugging in
the serial cable and starting LapLink on the 200 - that's it! F8
disconnects you. It can even be used with networked machines according to
the notes.

I opened a zipped archive which resided on my desktop using WinZip32 and
extracted just one document from it directly to the appropriate dir on my
palmtop's stacked C: drive! Try doing that with TF200 :-)

For those contemplating buying a 200LX and wondering about file transfers
and connectivity vs the 'ease' of using a 320LX with a Win95 desktop (or
even considering if to get the Cpack) this could be something worth
exploring before you make your decision...

Constant trickle charging of NiCads is actually quite good for them.
It's also fair to say that the 'memory' effect is not nearly such a
problem these days as it was in early NiCads. I've had one pair of
NiCads in my HP since January 96, and I still get the same time
between charges although I plug it in whenever I think about it.

I use Act! for 95/100/200 (it's all the same) with Act for W95, ver 3.0.

By itself, Act for HP is too idiosyncratic to be useful, but it is fully
synchronizable with 3.0. And therein is its main and only advantage: it
allows you to carry all your contacts, appointments, todos, etc. What's the
big deal? Once you've synchronized, Act on desktop is amazingly powerful.

For example, when I invoice someone, it automatically creates a to-do for a
month later, and for another month later, for that contact: "Did he pay?" A
click and a nasty reminder letter is generated. Tons of different features.
Of course, there is lots of software that can do these things, but the two
Acts allow you to be in control of all of this on a little HP - and with no
extra software and no employees to bother with!

David,

Nope, HP's recommendation of draining the CAPS didn't help. I sent it to
HP for repair, and the only thing on the repair note was "repair logic".
So I don't know exactly what logic they repaired, I wish I knew though,
it works now. If yours is eating batteries in the off mode, send it in.

There was an article in a recent QST (ham radio magazine) about using the 95LX
as a controller for an Icom HF radio. The author stated that the 95LX was not
readily available any more, but used ones could be found for about $150. You
might try your luck on the ham radio USENET group: rec.radio.swap and see if
you can drum up some interest.

In a word, no.  Unfortunately VGA is far beyond the capability of the 200=
.
There isn't enough video memory, for starters, and the hardware is comple=
tely
(well, mostly) incompatible.  I know CGA is a limiting factor for softwar=
e, but
gee whiz, a 256K gate array and a multisync 640x480 LCD is really beyond
the practical limits of a palmtop.

The only software video emulator I know of is SimCGA, which runs on Hercu=
les
cards.  Unfortunately that won't help us much.

I have several 1000+ page programmers books which may be of some help, =
I'll
look through them tonight.  But it seems quite impossible at this point.

No.  Wince is written for wince palmtops, which use custom processors
and subsystems etc etc.  Plus you'd need a wince ROM, you can't get
the OS on disk or anything.

Besides, if the 200LX running at 8 mhz can outrun a wince palmtop at
40 mhz, what's the point?  It would run so ungodly slow if you emulated
it that you'd have no doubt about which company made it.  (M$ All Over!)

> PS: Win CE seems to have more and more interesting programms.

Not in my experience, it seems to me to be ugly and slow, with
almost a complete lack of software -- but that is another story which
if I got into I would be flamed from here to hell.

Yup.  Got it.  Works.  Paid about $53 for it at www.surplusdirect.com.

I used it to send out my daughter's birth announcement from the recovery
room about an hour after the event ( I dialled into my shell account and
did it in pine).

Only problem I had was that I had to turn the password off on my cell
phone when using it with the modem.

Do you know of a utility that would force 320x200 om the HP200LX?
I'm trying to load Autocad R10, and the screen looks like two halves of
an interlaced screen, one on each side, when I run Acad set up for CGA.

MIME-version: 1.0
Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT

  Back when I built a lot of remote control cars the 'knowledge' was that
if you completely drain a battery over a prolonged period and then do a
'trickle' charge, the memory would be reduced or abolished.
  Unfortunately these manipulations were part of the charger you would buy
for the car's battery packs (5 to 8 sub-C batteries).  These chargers
can recharge packs in 15 minutes or 'trickle charge' them over 14
hours.  The difference comes in the mAmps used for the re-charge.
  I suspect that if someone really is having trouble with an excessively
fast drain that fully discharging the NiCd's (say in a flashlight
overnight) and charging them with a charger which (unlike most now)
purports to charge over a period longer than 4 hours (say 8-14) would be
the way to 'reclaim' the batteries.
  In this same vein, I don't plug in my adapter (12v, 500mA, Radio Shack
#273-1652C, $9.99, 1.5"W x 2.5"H x 1.5"D) until I get a low battery signal,
thus reducing memory effects.
Ciao.

  Ken, did you contact them via email?  If so, what address did you use?

  I sent a email message to support@dasoft.com (as suggested in their web
page) a couple of days ago with a few Post/LX questions (and a couple of
suggestions) and haven't even gotten an ack back yet to let me know they got
the message.  Is there some better address to use for Post/LX questions?

I'm thinking of buying a palmtop, and so far it seems to me that the
best buy for the future would be a WINCE machine (whether
one like it or not is another matter...). I am mainly looking at two
machines, the VELO1 from Phillips and the HP320LX.

Are there any reasons NOT to buy any of these two machines?

Hello folks.  I have a new job in Florida (long way from Michigan!)
teaching strings at a private school.  I have a need to count the number
of lessons that are given during the year (I am contracted to give a
fixed number), and I wonder if there is a way to do it automatically with
the built in database, without having to remember the correct number in
the sequence at any given time.  Also I need to automatically stamp the
time and date on the same record, plus fields for other information.  I do
believe that such a thing might be possible with Lotus, but it's been too
long since I used it, plus I need to put in a lot of text data, plus I
don't know whether it would work better to make each student one record,
or each lesson one separate record (this was my original idea, since I
need to produce reports based on several factors).
        My confusion also lies in the fact that I need reports on how all
the students are doing at any given time, and how one student is doing
from the begining of the year up to now.   I have an idea on how to do
some of this on the built-in database, but I am affraid it might not be
powerful enough for the job.  But I am not a Lotus head either.

Any help with this difficult task will be appreciated!

Domingo

I am wondering if 1stACT!-DOS might be a better way to go than ACT!-LX.  It is 1/2 the price
and MIGHT provide a more conventional interface.

Comments?

I use Power C quite a bit and like it - its reasonably fast and pretty
uncomplicated. However, this (and probably any other) C compiler that will
run on the HP is NOT likely to be ANSI compliant (Mix does not claim to
be). Since they were probably all developed pre-ANSI standard.

the problem is that most DOS software writes directly to the standard VGA
registers and video memory locations. The HP DOES support the VGA register
set as far as required for CGA compatibility, which is almost all the way.
Unfortunately, the HP design uses the memory where a standard VGA display
memory bank would go as system ROM space, and they claim this is
non-programmable. The meaning is that a DOS application that tried to work
with a VGA controller would instead be writing to the HP ROM.

On the newer Intel processors, this wouldn't be a problem, because we could
trap illegal writes and reroute them to where the frame buffer actually is.
However, the 186 does not have this capability, so we would have no way of
knowing when your DOS VGA app actually tried to write to the screen. And if
we don't know when it writes, we can't take the data it was trying to write
and massage it.

So, the short explanation is... not possible given hardware constraints.

As you might be aware, EZShow manufactures a PCMCIA VGA card and I'm
currently working with some people in the HP200 community to get a driver
going. But, because of the limitations above, I don't think it will be
possible to take any old DOS program and use it with my card. Instead,
custom apps will have to be written to take advantage of the card's
capabilities.

In those rare instances where the DOS software used the BIOS (or its own
pluggable interface) to talk to the display, something can be done.
However, in keeping with the tradition started by Lotus, practically
everybody writes direct.

Not only would you need to emulate one of SH3 /MIPS processor instruction
execution, you would have to duplicate the entire 2MB support ROM (with the
Win32 API - about 10,000 entry points). All this on a processor that's
running at 25% the clock rate of the processors its emulating.

It would be cheaper and faster just to go out and buy a WinCE machine.

I have both the Velo and the 320LX, and my code runs about 3 times faster
on the Velo. Admittedly, this is an unscientific evaluation (one one app -
mine), but the difference is, I think, in the processor. Velo uses MIPS
(along with NEC). All the other guys so far use the SH3 from Hitachi.

Used ones go for $50 or less. Depends on condition and if there are manuals.
Just sold one recently for $60 with cable and manuals.  A bit used ... I'm
looking for a real clean one.

I agree. There is some great software out there which can run
perfectly well on the palmtop but for the display mode. I have been
looking around for utilities that would do the trick, but as yet I
haven't found a thing.

As for changing contrast on the palmtop, someone suggested that you
can switch off grey shade and turn to black/white mode to make
using  software that presupposes a colour screen easier on the eye.
In fact I would like to have a b/w screen when surfing the web in
Lynx. But the way to do this (on / +) doesn't seem to work for me.
Has anyone a suggestion?

Thanks

Frank

Mix's current webpage (http://wwwmixsoftware.com/product/powerc.htm)
describes the compiler as:

----------->
Power C is an ANSI compatible C compiler for DOS that requires very few
resources. It can be installed in less than 1 Meg of disk space and will
run on any PC that runs DOS 2.0 or later. It is compatible with CPUs from
the 8088 through the latest Pentiums. Power C combines high-performance
software with superb documentation, all for less than the price of most C
books alone. It's your fast route to fast programs without the fast bucks.
<-----------

It sells for $19.95 and some posters have commented on their excellent
documentation. Very tempting, tho I have access to Turbo C++ 1.0 (from a
disk included in my son's C programming book) and possibly Turbo C 2.0.

Thanks again for all the excellent feedback (from everyone).

Looking forward to a nice summary of these compilers by someone who knows
"C" better than I.

I remember having read somewhere that the palmtop display can be
switched form grey shade to black and white. This is helpful when
using certain types of software that presuppose a colour screen.

I myself would be happy to turn B/W mode on when surfing the Web in
Lynx. The screen would be much more readable.

I tried the on + / option but it doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I'd like one, if the price is right. I've got a '200, but I can think of
several uses for the '95 in my ham setup. (just in case you are gauging
interest levels).

I've been using Pocket Quicken Connect for a month now and just wanted to
let others know how well it works.

It works with Quicken 6 perfectly, keeps transactions up to date and I
haven't noticed any collisions date, amount or anything else wrong. It adds
a sync button directly to your desktop Quicken. It's $29.95 from Quicken
and they have excellent support if you have questions, in fact they call
you back and ask how the service was!

I tend to be somewhat scatterbrained and was losing track of checks, it
works great.

I start to get worried about the world when I see more and more Win=
 CE
topics on a HP 200LX e-mail list! Anyway, as long as you want to have=
 a Win95
behavior in your pocket- it doesn't matter which brand you
buy- Microsoft is there! Soon we will have Win CE in all our Consumer
Electronics- "Oh, shit! Now I have to reboot my washing machine- it=

it doesn't matter if I loose my laundry- I have a backup of it (nowadays=
 I
always buy at least 2 pair of all my clothes)! Yesterday morning, my=
 toaster
didn't want to recognize my bread when I inserted 2 slices- talking=
 about
"plug and eat"! So I called Microsoft support line and they asked me=
 to
reboot the toaster, insert the "repair bread" and do a "scanbread".=
 If this
doesn't help, they said that I have to upgrade to MS Win CE V232.001.
Unfortunately this version have a different new user interface, BUT=
 it support

You might try the "mono8025" command or "mode bw80". I'm not up on video
modes, so I'm not sure what the difference is (maybe someone else here can
elaborate).

You run either of these in DOS before starting your app.

what my manual for Power C says (in the fine print) is:

"Power C supports the latest features of the proposed ANSI C standard"

and this is dated 1993. It doesn't look like the code has changed since
then. Maybe they actually are FULLY compliant, but I'd check carefully if
that's the main requirement.

My apologies if my nitpicking has misled.

I visited their web site (http://www.pdapad.com).  It is devoted to
Newton Message Pads, but some of the handful of products they offer are
approriate to us.  Their news section has pointers to user groups,
including the web site for the Boston PDA Users Group
(http://home.earthlink.net/~jsw/bospdaug.html).

They list a Centennial brand 14.4 modem, but for $25.  Is this what you
bought?  The Centennial is also what Mr.  Giovanetti has been pushing
in netnews (mostly through the Newton newsgroups) for the past 3 or 4
months, for $25.

I squirrel away messages about modems, and have no record of this offer.
Perhaps you saw it in c.s.p?

<<I'm thinking of buying a palmtop, and so far it seems to me that the

one like it or not is another matter...). I am mainly looking at two
machines, the VELO1 from Phillips and the HP320LX.

Are there any reasons NOT to buy any of these two machines?>>

The answer is: it depends. What are your needs? Do any of the existing
palmtops suit your needs today? Many long time palmtop PC users are
disappointed by the lack of  capabilities in the first generation of WinC=
E
machines that exist in the 200LX. While they are open minded that WinCE
devices MAY develop into a useful platform IN THE FUTURE, they are not
willing to spend their money today for an immature product.  Others are
early adopters and are willing to go through the pains because the produc=
t
fits their needs today and do some things better than the 200LX.

The Velo and the 320LX are the top-of-the-line WinCE machines today. The
Velo has some interesting features and major limitations (i.e. doesn't
print, smaller screen, modem limited to what's built in, proprietary memo=
ry
cards). Some people have expressed a preferrence for the Velo over the
320LX which has a bigger screen, can print and has two card slots (i.e. o=
ne
for modem and one for memory).

Bottom line, if the existing software on the WinCE machines accomplish yo=
ur
needs today then go ahead. We'd even be willing to sell you one <g>.  But=

if it doesn't meet your needs maybe you should wait, or explore other one=
s
such as the 200LX, the Toshiba Libretto or the IBM Thinkpad 110. If you
have more questions, or if I can help you sort through your needs feel fr=

Bill,

I'm using an Apex 14.4 in my 200lx and Motorola Micro with no problem.
Their part # for your 2120 is 910-43942.  If I recall correctly, I
generally get a connection at 7200 bps which is enough for what I do
when I need wireless.  YMMV.

Thanks, and ANSI compliance is important (for me an least). I'll be sure
to give it a good look-see. No apologies needed...your nitpicking is
appreciated over hasty generalizations.

BTW, the integrated debugger and the library source are sold separately
($19.95 and $10, respectively). Do you have an opinion as to whether these
are worth getting?

I had loaded diet 1.44 a while back, and installed the TSR with diet
-z.  Since then, I had to wait several seconds for the Application
Manager &... to start, and then several seconds after each operation
within the App Manager.  This was anoying.  (But not anoying enough to
email about)

Then today, I decided it was time to install closeflr.  I did so, and
it worked great.  In the documentation, it talks as if removing the
c:\_dat\appmgr.dat file is no big deal.

Well now(after using closeflr), the app manager is not only slow, but
beeped several times after I started it up.  This was just too anoying
for me to bear, so I decided to try moving c:\_dat\appmgr.dat out of
the way.  I closed the App Manager and moved c:\_dat\appmgr.dat to
a:\appmgr2.dat with filemgr.  I then started up App Manager, and
whaala!, NO BEEPS, NO DELAYS.  This is great!  I still can run diet
-z, etc.

I also used memo to look at the a:\appmgr2.dat and found that I could
see all of the paths of everything I had in there.  I now can go back
and reconfigure the App Manager back to the way I had everything layed
out before.

So, to summ it all up, it looks as if you have problems with the App
Manager, just close App Manager and move your c:\_dat\appmgr.dat to
some other name.  Then go back and reconstruct it.

Has anybody else seen similar situations?

I believe that I have the latest version of Power C, purchased last winter.

It is PC v2.2.0 and the copyright is dated 1993.

Also, by having a date field, you can have a "subset" (press F6) that will only show records that have an entry in that field. This will allow you to periodically check to see how many "lessons" you have in your database. You do this by pressing F6 to call up a subset that you define  and looking at the bottom of the Datacard (HP100LX doesn't have a Datacard). At the bottom of the Datacard you will see a number like: 4/88 indicating that you are looking at record 4 of 88 records in that subset.
The possiblities are virtually endless. Experiment. Have fun.
As an instructor, I use the LX database a lot and very rarely feel limited. This is coming from someone who teaches Microsoft Access.
Good luck,

Not even remotely possible. First, processor emulation would be needed.
Normally when you want to emulate a processor, you need a much more
powerful one, and in the case you mention it's just the opposite.

Moreover, the Windows CE system services would have to be emulated too. Too
much for our 200LX.

And what about screen resolution ? (vga is 640x480 and we have only 640x200).

Well gee whiz, it's time to get into the classic 200/Wince debate
again....

My opinion: 200LX.  The reason is is that there are thousands of
software titles for a DOS 5 machine, whereas there are next to
none for Wince.  Winces are more expensive and doesn't get the
gas mileage (6 weeks) of the 200lx.  Wince machines generally
have worse displays than the 200, although they do have back-
lighting.  The 200 has a large, _knowledgable_ user group where-
as the Wince usergroup (with a few exceptions) have to take their
thumb out of their mouth to use the touch screen. ;)

Also, the 200 uses a static operating system.  The 200 uses DOS 5
which is far more stable than Wince.  5 a flawless OS, the only one
I know of that was made by Microsoft.  So buying the $700
Wincetop looks appealing until you find yourself spending $100
every 2-3 months because, as Jorgen said, your version won't
support high fiber bread.

No difference between bw80 and bw8025.  The latter ensures you
are in 25-line mode, which is immaterial with CGA (which only supports
25 lines anyway.)

In graphics mode you can switch from greyscale to dithered by hitting
On-*.  That will also change the properties of a text mode screen.

Also, you can hit On-=3D to change the position of the shift annunciators
if it bothers you.

Personally I use the 200 for organization. I use Pocket Quicken with Pocket
Quicken Connect (dumped on WinCE), and most of the other 1 touch keys (not
on WinCE units). I have a few goodies installed like a ThinFax w/4 meg, I
don't browse the Internet, Newsgroups, or anything else that requires
graphics speed. I used to travel, I had a notebook for that. If I had to do
that again, I'd get a PC110 or a Libretto. I think there is great use for
the LX200 without doing anything fancy. WinCE machines (Toys) aren't event
close to a Cheap pocket organizer $69 variety.

  If you use ACT! for Windows already on a desktop, then you will already
know if the program suits your requirements. If you require the features,
but diecreet portability, then the HP version will be helpful, but need
some getting use to.
  I have decided that I will use it on my HP as its full potential is not
truly tapped as yet. It can for one, reduce the appointment book/to do list
to things not related to your contacts as all these tasks are already in
ACT!
  There are some limitations that seem to have no reason...the screen for one!
All you see is a screen that fits between the F3 and the F8 marks when
running on the HP. Because of this you have to scroll through 6 screens
for 1 contact info.
  Sorry I could not provide you with more pros and cons. Maybe when I
discover any other snag or benefit I'll post to the list.

Best regards,

I have tried both versions of ACT!. The palmtop version came with my HP
200LX when I purchased it 2nd hand & I have since purchased the full
dos version in a sale for $20. My opinion is that the inbuilt software,
when used well & linked with Buddy & macros, does the job for me just
as well.

A friend of mine who happens to do major business with HP, called me the
other day and said he had access to about 250 LX320's @ $550 ea asked if I
wanted any. I said I thought the price was too high, about dealer cost.

Another friend (end user) called me awhile ago and asked if I had any of
the units cheap. Told him of the $550 deal and he chuckled...Office Depot
or OfficeMax, he couldn't remember has an ad running for $469-489 retail.

HP is dumping these things. I guess a few Execs must have tried them and
said what a piece of S..T, what does it do?

Well...It's Microsoft! It has to be good!?

Compaq (Casio) 4 meggers down to $269! Boy, I swear, this OS didn't live
very long.

I guess I leave now, I have to hit 1 key and get some work done!

Yes, same one. I actually haven't paid him yet, I thought he said one
month to try it out and pay, but I just noticed yesterday it's one week,
so I better get busy. I've had it about two weeks and he wants 28.00
with shipping.

It says it's cellular ready too, but to check with your cell phone
manufacturer for the connection kit.

I saw it right here on the 200LX list. Someone commented that he had
one, and it was working fine on his lx. I haven't made mine work yet,
but I tried it on my times2 upgraded machine, maybe that one doesn't
like the card. Someone on the list mentioned that some pcmia cards
didn't work with the upgraded clock chip. I wouldn't know for sure about
that.

The reason for this is because ACT!-LX was written for the 95LX with its limited display.

Hi fellow palmtoppers:

I have recently moved back to using appt from a custom to-do database.
One irritant that I have is that completed to-do's are located on the
day they are done. This makes it hard to locate exactly when you
completed a task. Has anyone written a to-do database and some marcos
to move the completed ones to a .gdb for archiving? This would make it
easier to use appt for me.=20

Hiroko and Kiyoshi AKIMA hav kindly translated the original Japanese
documentation that came with PRJT200, the project management software for
the HPLX.

I have enclosed this translation with my attempt to figure out the program
in a zipped file called PROJECT.ZIP which I have sent to Mitch for
inclusion in the SUPER archives (http://www.palmtop.net/).  Those
interested should be able to download it from there soon.

1) This sounds like a fun and useful project!  Does anyone know
what the structure of the file used by the appt. program?  Or
how to find out what the structure is.  Is it documented anywhere?
If so a program could be written to archive the completed
tasks directly.

2)  Related question.  Does anyone know if a memory resident
program can run concurrently with the built-in apps?
(DOS actually is multitasking you know!  It just that it must
be programmed.  There is a DOS multitasking
interrupt! )

There are many fine DOS programs that you can run on
the 200LX, which you just don't have access to with
the WINCE machine.  That alone is reason enough to
give strong consideration to a 200 LX.    Examples:

    Project Management
    Contact Management
    Musical Ear Training
    Japanese Language Instruction (writing as well as conversation)
    Vertical browsing, book marking of big etext files (electronic text).
    Use of a Newton full-size keyboard if you want it.
    The AWK Programming Language
    Agent Software for automating operations. (EasyShare)

    TurboC from Borland  (you can learn to program or actually develop
programs on the 200 LX.
       (That's out of the question for WINCe machines)

    PDC Prolog (a 5th generation language) for artificial intelligence
programming.
    Built-in Lotus 1-2-3 (that excels Excel on the WINCE machines in power)
    Built-in Quicken
    A program to dial phone numbers.
    A program search across memos, appointments, to do lists.
    Ability to interface with other devices, like electronic scales.


Owning a 200 LX give you access to a group of knowledgeable programmers who
will
often develop small utilities to customize the 200LX to your needs and
desires.
Example:  one 200LX user says he wants to have completed to-do items
archived in a separate database.  The built-in application does
not do that.  But soon, because he posted the idea, some developer will come
up with a utility to do that--if it hasn't already been done.

When I was in Japan, I heard that most new cars come with GPS units
built-in.  My woman's uncle had a great unit.  It talked to you
(in Japanese of course) and the accuracy *seemed* better than 50-100
meters.  When it said turn left, the street to turn on seemed to
be exactly right there!  When you passed a gas station, there
was the gas station icon on the map opposite the little moving
arrow representing our car.

I don't usually advertise but for the past week or so I've been working
with the folks at Banana Programming to help them to optimize a great
little comm program for my 200LX. It's called Banana Comm Lean. It's got
automatic Z modem downloading, and is very lean and mean and best of all
it's much, much, much quicker than the built in DataComm program. It is
shareware but the author has conveyed to me that if he can get 10 people
to register the Lean version he will join our list and try to make
whatever changes he can to really optimize it for the LX palmtops. It's
available on the SUPER site. I'm sure that there are other people such as
myself that use their HP's to access UNIX shell accounts and BBS's such
as I do. Anyway, I just thought I'd pass this along to the list. I'm
receiving no financial gain just the ability to access the Net much more
quickly!

TSRs don't always follow recommended notification standards and
are not always friendly with each other so you have to be
careful about running more than one TSR at a time.

There are programs designed to help manage TSRs and
make them co-operate, however.  PCMag offered some
several years ago as I recall.

Jim Holton of Adisoft says:

"EasyShare is sold by Adisoft.  Adisoft was not acquired by ADP, but
rather ADP acquired Adisoft's lead product Expense Report!.  Adisoft
still holds the copyright on EasyShare and given the renewed interest is
willing to sell it to palmtop users.  Adisoft has been in business since
1989.

NOTE: Jim is currently on vacation and out of the country.

Addendum:  EasyShare is designed to make it way for you to create agents
without having to program.  You fill out a table using a program
called Creator.  Creator guides you and protects you from
making syntax errors.  It takes a little getting used to, but once
you get the hang of it, it works quite well.  Creator produces
a source code file and an agent definition file.  When you
activate an agent you give a command like:

    ES2 movetodo.def

This tells EasyShare (version 2) to load the agent defintion
file called "movetodo.def" into memory.

Easyshare now sits in memory and watches the time, the screen and
what is entered from the keyboard.  When some predefined
event occurs, the agent will spring into action and start
issuing keystrokes (or reading/writing text files).  You can activate the
agent
with a hotkey or when a certain time is reached, or when
a certain string appears on a text screen.

An EasyShare agent can also be fired from another DOS
program or batch file.

EasyShare can also help to control mainframe programs
when used with programs like Attachmate's EXTRA for DOS.

Its right.

New Garmin GPS III unit has accuracy:
- position: 15 meters (49 feet) RMS
  1-5 meters (3-15 feet) RMS with GARMIN GBR 21 DGPS (optional).

Accuraccy may degradation to 100m 2DRMS under the United States =

You might also want to note that built-in WinCE applications are not the same as the Win95
versions.  The vast majority of the features have been stripped from them.

The programs listed below are full featured.  Plus, you have the option to choose what programs
you want to run.

Add-on programs for WinCE are very few at this point.

        I think Lotus 1-2-3 is your best bet from the software built into
ROM. A third party database should be able to do it, but that would take up
a ton of (scarce?) space on your HP 200LX.

Create a text file containing the names (with path if not in current
directory) of the files part of the project. You can do it from the IDE
editor. Save it as FOO.PRJ:

FOO.C
FILEIO.C
C:\MYLIB\SIO.LIB
D:\MORE\DATA.OBJ

Then, in the IDE, go to "Project" -> "Project name" and select that file as
the project file. When you compile an exe, all the files in the project
files will be used.

        as the add says consider the convenience of a network analyzer

That version is virtually useless, as it cannot compile programs and has no TCC.EXE.  The
only thing it's good for is running programs you type in.  You'll need another version to
actually compile the programs.

After having done some reading in various newsgroups and by following

the most suitable machine for my needs would be a Psion 5 (8Mb).
However, as always before buying new (and expensive) things, I would
appreciate some more critical (positive and negative). Someone
with experience of a Psion5 that would like to share their general
thoughts?

Subject:      Cassiopeia for sale...
Content-Type: text/plain

Hello everyone,

A few days ago I posted a message for a Cassiopeia for sale that a
friend of mine has.  Someone has offered my friend $240 for it.  If you
are willing to pay $250 it's yours.  I'm reminding you that it's a new
machine that her husband won at a trade show (boxes and everything
included with it of course).
Please let me know soon.
Andreas

Regarding a "Todo Database": If you suscribe to the HP Palmtop Paper there was an excellent issue a while back entitled, "Getting Organized" (or something like that). The author of one article explained a custom-made todo database. I have designed one for myself fashioned after that article. I am a firm beleiver in the capabilities of the 200LX database. For those of you who don't know about the HP Palmtop Paper check out Thaddeus Web Site <http://www.thaddeus.com>. It is excellent. Back issues can be ordered.

I don't own either, so I can't comment directly. However, I've usually
managed to get by with printf's and DEBUG (I just checked, its in the HP
ROM) for DOS programming. As to the library... it depends on what you want
to do.

You know, it just strikes me as funny all this griping about Microsoft's
monopoly while using a DOS!!! based machine. Perhaps these darts might be

Not anymore, with the new partnership between Apple and Microsoft.

Speaking of Windows CE, has anyone else heard that the next version of
Windows CE machines (if they survive that long) may include a machine
with an Intel 80x86 class processor?  I must say, I wouldn't be nearly
so anti-WinCE if you could ALSO run DOS programs on it.  Then the touch
screen, backlight, etc. start to look mighty tempting...

For the moment, I always have to chuckle when I see catalog ads with
Windows CE units that state "It's Windows 95 compatible!" in big
letters.  If "compatible" means "You can probably use some of your data
files on both machines," perhaps... :)

I really wonder why you all keep on giving scornful comments to the new  generation.
To my way of thinking its something completely new not comparable with the 200LX.
Nearly everything what we all appreciate of our 100/200LX is not included.
It is something nice to wear like a brooch  - and what can you do with a brooch.
Nevertheless a lot of people buy such things and sometimes even pay more for it.
HP is simply serving a wider market.

Yes, but the purpose of a handheld PC is (presumably) to use it.  To
assist you in getting things done more effectively.  To help you spend
less time doing things.  With jewelry, you know you're just buying
something that looks nice.  People expect to be able to _use_ a handheld
PC, and it has to be able to do _useful_ things.  Which, for the
majority of serious palmtoppers, the WinCE units don't.  Plus, a piece
of jewelry will retain its value, and eventually become a rare antique
worth much more than you paid for it.  A WinCE machine will drop in
value until you'll be able to find them at garage sales for five
dollars.  Think about it: A handheld calculator purchased in the 1960's
ran hundreds of dollars.  Today they're thrown away as worthless,
outdated relics.  If you can't use them, they're really only a few
dollars worth of plastic, silicon, metal and glass.  Whereas an ounce of
gold purchased in the 1960s has retained its value quite well.

You exactly described the advantage of jewelry to a WinCE.
But there is no danger for a customer, because a serious palmtopper will never buy a WinCE. I for myself could never be conWinCEd, although I'm owner of a 200LX only since 2 months. But I'm sure there are a lot of people who will not miss anything with their new WinCE. Let those people be happy !

Good point.  Fortunately, the kind of people that would not miss anything with a
WinCE unit are probably not the kind of people who subscribe to this mailing
list.
I don't know about anybody else, but I'm disappointed by HP lately.  I was
looking forward to the successor for the 48GX calculator, and what do they
produce?  The 38 series.  A toned-down version designed to "compete" with other
low-grade calculators.  Then I was looking forward to the successor to the
200LX, and what do we get?  The 300 series, another toned-down versioned
designed to "compete" with the new trend in handheld computing.  If HP isn't
careful, they'll lose the customers that used to by HP products because they
were the best, and instead get customers who buy HP products because that
happened to be the brand sitting on the shelf.  Which might be what they are
trying to do, but it's not good for those of us who've been buying HP products
for years...

To all the long waiting list for HP, to stand up with a serious
successor to the LX 200, I have to advice looking on the Psion 5. It has
a lot of the LX 200 features missed in previous versions of Psion, while
at same time, it brings long awaited improvements of the screen (large,
backlit and pen sensitive), keyboard (real touch tipe, notebook stile),
speed (32 bit apps and a strong CPU though only clocked at 18 MHz), OS
(looks more like upgrade LX 200 than Psion 3/3a)etc.

One has not to be scared by the lack of Internet access (as WinCE's) as
Psion 3/3a already have such a package and the  5 doesn't have it only -
YET....(a matter of time).

Also the idea of having the PCMCIA modem in a separate adaptor, sounding
at first so to say...not so smart, is very very smart when you can use a
33,6 PCMCIA modem for 1 - 2 Hrs with the 4 AAs of the adaptor. Another
part to carry...., not exactly, as with the LX 200/ 300 you may have the
PCMCIA modem inside, but you need to connect it to the wall outlet with
an AC adaptor . At the end, the Psion solution, while different, is at
least not worse ! Adding to it a US Robotics/Megaherz X-plug modem with
no need for carrying a line cable, and the Psion outsmarts the "all
inside" architecture.

I know..I know..we are all LX users, but well..well..at least Psion 5
deserves a serious second look if HP continues to patronize us with
stupid toys...

First off, this is a mailing list for HP palmtops.  You'd have better
luck looking in the Psion-related newsgroups (comp.sys.psion.*) or the
Psion web sites  at http://www.psioninc.com (US sales, in Concord MA)
and http://www.psion.com/ (UK headquarters).

Before buying a 200LX, I considered and rejected the earlier Psion
models.  When I spotted the Psion 5 in the store the other day, I
played with it for a few minutes.  They have a nice set of built-in
applications.  The pen is especially nice for drawing.   The larger,
sliding keyboard is very usable.  They have dedicated "touch points"
for the applications, analogous to the 200LX's blue keys.

Unfortunately, as with the Series 3's, they insist on an optional
*external* PC Card slot (connected by a cable).  Dial-up communications
involves some sort of dangling external gadget (the other option is an
external modem).

The OS (EPOC) is proprietary, so 3rd-party applications are limited.
They supply a built-in BASIC-like programming language called OPL.
Otherwise, programming is meant to be done in C++ from a desktop
system, using a kit about which they offer little detail, Visual C++ to
build for testing in emulation and Gnu C++ to cross compile for final
installation.  Details can be found at:

    http://www.software.psion.com/EPOCWorld/services/techinfo/

On the other hand, our resident Java maven says that it is/will be
Java-capable (Write Once, Crash Many ;-).  He got that info from the PC
Magazine review of the Psion Series 5 at:

    http://www8.zdnet.com/pcmag/issues/1615/pcmg0050.htm

Having done the PC Card Shuffle, one major problem I see is that few PC
Cards devices will work with the Psion.  PC Card devices ship with x86
support software, requiring Card & Socket Services 2.1.  The Psion (and
the WinCE units, by the way) have RISC processors, and are limited to
whatever drivers are built in to the OS (flash and modem, typically).
Psion refers to their external PC Card slot as "PC Card Modem Adaptor",
so at least they're up front about the limitation.  If you anticipate
adding a printer port, SCSI adapter, data acq., etc., you're probably
out of luck.

                                -Jim.

Any 200LX (1mb or 2mb, older or newer) can be upgraded to a full 8mb
with the new 8mb upgrade.  So if that's the route you're planning to=
 go,
you don't necessarily needa newer model.  Although it might be less
expensive for the upgrade.

My unit uses the pressure of the halves of the case holding the LCD panel
to hold gold fingers on the pcboard against similar gold fingers on
the end of the ribbon/pc-board cable going to the bottom part of the
LX.

THis does not use any adhesive, just the aforementioned pressure.

Is there another type of connector or connection to the LCD pcboard?
Just want to make sure that they are interchangeable...

 Who has the 8 meg upgrade? I tried Times2tech, but they don't show it. Is

        Remember: Microsoft did NOT invent DOS. The original 1.0 was
originally called QDOS = Quick and Dirty OS, and programmed by Seattle
Computing. Bill Gates bought the rights to it VERY quickly, after he heard
that IBM was in the market for a third-party OS in addition to CP/M-86. No
one (?) denies Microsoft's ability to BUY good stuff, and from time to time
they have actually developed good stuff in-house. Some variants on Word, and
Excel for example, have been powerful without being incredibly bloated and
causing large swapfiles bringing everything to a near standstill.

Subject:      sears 8 meg flashcard

someone recently mentioned an 8 meg card available form sears for $140.  fyi,
it is currently on sale for $134.  not much of a savings, but it pays the
tax.

qualitative, it feels quite quick.  copying from c: to a: seems much quicker
than my hp or my viking ata card, and just as fast as my hp sram card.  just
got it today, and have not applied the stop watch.  (the ata cards are
stacked, which makes the comparison unfair.  still, it seems a lot faster)

cordially,

is any one using the olb directly, and not with the "Hisword (tm)" program?
 i'm having trouble setting it up directly.  mm.bat doesn't look as it does
on the big computer, and only leads to error messages.

it rans perfectly on the big computer prior to copy, and the files run very
well under "Hisword (tm)"

i'm greatful to tom hoover for creating "Hisword (tm)", but it lacks a number
of features which are very important to me.  (reading & writing notes;

excelent Point!  micro$oft hates competition, and will but what ever it has
to.

(btw, excel is not my idea of a performance spreadsheet.  try quatropro.  i
run v.5.0 on my palmtop, and it is a much better program than my desktop
excel.)

        Hp200lx is smaller than PC110. It can fit in your pocket. It have many DOS
base software support. It have big user group than PC110. I realistic in
diary use than PC110. Compare program which run on 200lx and windows on
PC110 which can do the same thing. 200lx run faster.

I picked up one of those a little while ago for my Ricoh RDC-2 camera and I
can state that it is faster than my old Sundisk 5v 2.5M and 10M cards. The
Ricoh is rather picky about flash cards, it even gives minimum write speeds
and such in the manual for flash cards. It wouldn't work with any of my
older flash cards but it works great with the card from sears. The one I
got is actually a compact flash card in an ATA adaptor, it works great in
my hp200lx as well as the Ricoh. Pretty good deal given that I have seen
compact flash cards listed for more than that without the pcmcia ata
adaptor.

Subject:      Re: ACT! for Palmtop latest version

Dos ACT! users need to read the info on the download page - seems the
upgrade makes palmtop version of ACT!  more compatible with the Windows
version and incompatible with the Dos version.  I downloaded it and went
back to read about it.  Glad I did - I have palmtop version 1.1 and Dos
version 2.11.

Never have committed to using it, but I am going to give it a try.

I also downloaded the Demo of ACT! for Dos 2.x  - it will give you a good
idea of how the program works - I noticed nice features I didn't know about
when I ran the demo.  It's a 119K self extracting exe - good way to see if
it has anything to offer for you.

So by this logic, if Bill Gates did not personally write the code, its not
really Microsoft's?
The version of DOS we're using (5.0) is well and truly Microsoft's
invention. The only thing left over from 1.0 is the name.

I'm no great fan of Bill's - my job requires that I try to keep up with his
legions of programmers - but give the guy credit. He hires well, markets
fabulously, and moves fast enough that noone can clone his stuff. That's
why he hates Java - it means that the API is given over to a standards body
and he can't keep making money by forcing everyone to upgrade at his pace.

I had a little play with DEBIG once .. a sort of on-the-fly disassembler?
But how do you use it for debugging? I'm using Turbo C with only the
command-line compiler .. this built in debugger could be useful.

You would be suprised how much of dos is still "left over" from 1.0, can
you say fcb (file control block)? Not that MS didn't improve and expand
on the original. Also, to be honest, MS did try to steer IBM to Digital
Research so they could make a dos for them but DR didn't want anything to
do with it so IBM came back to MS and said if you can do it the deal is
yours. So Gates being good at buying things found QDOS, bought the company
and the rest, as they say, is history.

Times2Tech has a memory expansion kit.  But not for the 8MB upgrade.  Plus, if you don't
already have the daughterboard connector, you'll have to do some pretty difficult
soldering.--

Not quite true. IBM went to Gates, who was developing CP/M software for
them, and asked him to develop an OS. Gates, not having any readily
available OS or the resources to develop one, SENT the IBM VP's to
Digital Research office telling them that there they could find a ready
made 8086 OS, which IBM to proceeded to contact.

Digital Research' owner and chief creator of the OS in question (Gary
Killdal) went out of town and left the discussion with the IBM exec's to
his wife. The IBM VP's first duty was to ask her to sign a standard
non-disclosure form (essentially said that Digital Research would never
divulge that IBM was there or what they were there for). She brought her
company attorney in and IBM had to bring in their attorneys to explain
it etc., etc. IBM finally got tired of it and said the hell with Digital
Research.

They went back to Gates and it was then that he bought the rights of
another operating system, not from Killdal and Digital Research but from
another programmer (a Seattle hardware hacker, Tim Patterson, who had
tired of waiting for an OS from, you guessed it, Digital Research) so he
wrote his own, essentially modeling it after what Killdal was
developing.

You can create a project and specify what files are included in
the project -- or you can use the include statement to
include other files into the main file.

As a program gets bigger and more complex, you
need to use the project method.

You can easily create your own custom diary database.
What fields do you want?  You can create the as needed.
If you find you need extra fields in your diary after
using it for a while you can add them later.

If you want an extra feature that you can't add yourself
you can talk about it on the this list, and
some hacker out their will probably create it for you.

What's needed, here, I think is a way of
*printing out* the database in various ways.
For example, I want a listing of all
diary entries that contain brainstorms.


Anyone know where to get documentation
on the technical format of the built-in
databases?

AWK is a weird name.

I think it comes from the author's names: Aho, Weinberger, and
Kernighan.



You don't have to compile the code!  Just write

a short program with a text editor and the AWK

engine will process it for you!


<italic>If you could export an HP database to a text file (which I

think you can)  you could write some interesting

reports using AWK.

I don't usually advertise but for the past week or so I've been working
with the folks at Banana Programming to help them to optimize a great
little comm program for my 200LX. It's called Banana Comm Lean. It's got
automatic Z modem downloading, and is very lean and mean and best of all
it's much, much, much quicker than the built in DataComm program. It is
shareware but the author has conveyed to me that if he can get 10 people
to register the Lean version he will join our list and try to make
whatever changes he can to really optimize it for the LX palmtops. It's
available on the SUPER site. I'm sure that there are other people such as
myself that use their HP's to access UNIX shell accounts and BBS's such
as I do. Anyway, I just thought I'd pass this along to the list. I'm
receiving no financial gain just the ability to access the Net much more
quickly!

Personally, I find the program a little too underpowered as compared to {COMMO}
(v7.0 which is optimised for the HP palmtop but needs an APLOAD program from
Compuserve. Can anyone pass me that?) and Qmodem. These two have proper
scrollback, X/Y/Zmodem protocols, good phonebooks and other little niceties here
and there. Bananacom is more for the simple user kind.

So, I think, for the lite user, BananaCom is OK. For people who want more configurability
(at the expense of disk space) Qmodem (which I use) and {COMMO} (Which I ALSO
use for a BBS on my palmtop, nice little novelty I use to SHOW OFF to them "wince-ing"
users.)

... Anyone ever wonders why MS calls their new palmtop OS WinCE? Simply coz they
want you to wince/squirme/puke/upgrade-once-a-quarter-syndrome whenever you
use it. My .0001 cents worth, if it is worth anything......
... OS/2 just broke all the Windows!

Just wondering,  has the HP 200 LX held its value fairly well?
Just go mine, so I don't know.

Yes, it did. Maybe the bare value for the special machine is going down, but this is easily compensated (with increasing tendency) by the advantage/profit you gain by using your little friend.

        Actually, and very briefly before MS-DOS 2.0 was released, I did use
DOS 1.0. It was very primitive, and lacked even subdirectories. It was
designed to run on two-floppy systems with only the root directory on each
floppy. I am WELL aware that it is a far cry from the DOS 5.0 on our HP
200LXs. On the other hand, The first edition of the Deitel "Introduction to
Operating Systems" textbook states that DOS "under the hood" is really a cut
down UNIX rightly or wrongly and before Microsoft acquired DOS, they were
already the vendors of XENIX, a scaled down UNIX.

        I don't know much about the internals of e.g. DOS 5.0, but I think
that one might be able to defend the idea that the basic underlying concepts
include very little that was not to be found already in either QDOS Seattle
Computing or UNIX AT&T. Feel free to give Microsoft all the credit you
wish for marketing, but for Operating System design I don't think you can
point at DOS and give them much credit for originality with it.

        They DID, on the other hand, play a large part in the design of OS/2
1.0 through 1.2, though from version 1.3 onwards it has been IBM's baby,
with Microsoft formally relinquishing most of their rights to it other than
the Windows Interface, and the excellent High Performance File System in
return for a large payment, from version 2.0 onwards.

is any one using the olb directly, and not with the "Hisword (tm)" program?
 i'm having trouble setting it up directly.  mm.bat doesn't look as it does

it rans perfectly on the big computer prior to copy, and the files run very

i'm greatful to tom hoover for creating "Hisword (tm)", but it lacks a number

Bill Gates bought QDos (modified Cp/m) from a company in Seattle for
$50,000. That was then called IBM Dos 1.0 written by Microsoft.

I have to agree with Rob.  Tim Paterson wrote QDOS (Quick & Dirty Operating System) in
1980-81, which Microsoft purchased from Seattle Computer for $50,000.  Seattle Computer
called it 86-DOS, Microsoft renamed it MS-DOS and IBM named it PC-DOS.

However,Digital Research did not loose the deal because Kildall missed the meeting.  They
lost the deal because CP/M-86 was late and IBM needed an OS for their to be announced PC.
Therefore they turned to Gates and he purchased 86-DOS from Seattle Computer.

CP/M-86 was offered as an OS for the original PC by IBM (Kildall had threatened IBM with
litigation because of 86-DOS's similarities to CP/M).  A third OS was also offered,
Softech's p-system.  However, IBM backed PC-DOS.  All of the programming languages
(Microsoft products) and application software offered by IBM for the PC would only run
under PC-DOS.

You might want to note the Intel endorsed CP/M-86 at the time.

I'll keep your message for reference, but I have a possible interested
buyer in the whole package, so not right now...

Thanks for your interest.

Subject:      POST/LX: Reason to stick to 200LX
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

People often talk about CEs comparing with 200LX, but in my
opinion those are two different animals, and CEs perhaps can be
better discussed somewhere else in the future.  They are simply
different products focusing on different market subsegments:

I just wanted to mention my experience for those who are
considering switching from 200LX to 320LX (or other CEs.)

I work as a marketing manager (previously a management
consultant for a US firm) and use 1) Lotus, 2) some
math functions (and solvers etc), and so want 3) 10 keys
and need 4) the data com function of 200LX.

My only problem was that there was not any good tcp/ip based
mailer available for 200LX.  There were some critical posts
about D&A Softwares' marketing the other day, but I knew that
they had been working on it before POST/LX eventually came out
in the market.  I was that much interested in obtaining a good
mailer for 200LX.

POST/LX is just super.  The best software I ever had for the
machine.  I think that HP should replace the built in ccMAIL
with POST/LX. (and they may call it 'post'/320:-)

During my recent trips to Europe, POST/LX was extremely
valuable.  I didn't have any problem in hooking up to my ISP in
Tokyo (I'm Japanese living in Tokyo) using local CompuServe's
APs.

Anyway, if anyone (perhaps business people)is thinking that
320LX might improve mailing tasks, try POST/LX first with your
200LX.  I personally think that the larger keyboard of 320LX is
not so easy to use as it looks.

But before that 320LX is 1) too heavy  2) too big (it should
have a color display, if not a joy stick, with that sort of
size and weight) 3) have to take out a pen to execute a command
, then wait for a while until a program is loaded -
this basic approach (its interface and pen based system) is
simply not appropriate to mobile computing.  That's, to me,
the funniest and dummiest part of WinCE. 4) pcAnywhere and all
other *nice to have* sort of software? ... I simply don't need
them while on the go.  5) sending a hand written fax to someone
quickly?  I'm just polite enough to type up and fax using a
ThinFax (that's the card I always have with my 200LX.)

In short, I need 200LX' Lotus, math functions, *10 keys*, nice
touch and feel keyboard... right balance of its functions and
size/weight - that's why I don't carry 320LX  -  and I prefer
to use PCMCIA cards rather than custom made machine specific
devices - that's why I don't use PSION or PalmPilot.

The latter is becoming very popular here (and I hear that in
the US also)  To me, this basically means that most people only
need rather basic PIM functions, and if that's the case the
current CEs will never beat PalmPilot with their builtin PIMs,
since PalmPilot is a lot faster and much smaller than CEs...its
product concept is very clear and well focused to the biggest
subsegment.




It wasn't my intention to discuss the strategic domain of CEs.
I just wanted to mention about POST/LX to people with the
same needs as I have:

I'm very grateful to those smart individuals who made and
marketed POST/LX.  I guess I have to get another back up 200LX
before it becomes difficult to obtain here, like in US as
people mentioned the other day... and thanks for the
information.

Hello All you Whiz-LXers,

I turned on my 1 MB 200 LX the other morning and tried to run the Memo
program and it immediately says "divide overflow" and crashes to Dos, in
the _DAT directory. No more commands will work, in Dos or whatever. I
can reboot, run any other program but that one, and all works fine, but
not the Memo program.

Any idea what might be wrong?

Never seen this or heard of it before. I would suggest deleting the file:
C:\_DAT\MEMOED.ENV

and see if this works. If not try removing any or all TSR's loaded.

Good Luck.

This is all very interesting.  But let's give credit where credit is due.
Bill Gates and Microsoft had the smarts to come up with an
operating system that IBM wanted.  So what if they didn't write it!
Why write something if don't have to!  That's why Micrsoft
has such a good web page development tool -- which is now
called Microsft Front Page --they bought that
too!  They were smart enough to pick one of the best and
make it their own.

If we had similar business smarts,
we would have invested in Microsoft around 1981.

DOS has really improved since version 1.0, which I used
to use.  Let's give Microsoft credit for the improvements
they made to it, too.

Hello All!

I'm going to join the family of HP 200LX users, I'm going to buy 200LX
palmtop. After having done some reading in this list, I guess to buy
already upgraded to 6-8mb double speed palmtop. I have an offer to buy a
new unused one with 6mb in "One-Stop Palmtop Shop", and I would be grateful
for some more information about their palmtops and for any offers and
advices.

I also interested in offers of used 200LX with 6 or 8mb double speed in a
good condition. I guess to buy
200LX-compatible faxmodem 14.4 also, probably with a built-in flash 8 or
10mb, so all offers are welcome. Anywhere on continental USA.

Please excuse me for my poor English.

Yours ever, Igor Grabelnikov

One other solution is to use the program Global Search after pressing
F10 in the Appointment program to bring up your To Do list. Type a
keyword from the completed To Do you are looking for into Global
Search & it should find it.

 Thanks for clearing up that mystery for me. Saw your later message

they forgot about the Handheld version! Will try to download. Is the

Go to Tom Hoover's page (the URL is in several recent messages).  You
should be able to find a link to a version of the OLB which runs on the
palmtop.   You need to change the path on the mm.bat file to match the
palmtop.  It should work ok after that (I erased mm.bat and use the other
batch file provided which runs the program without all the menus.  As far
as space, it depends on the size of your flash card.  I loaded a two
version file once with no problem, but had to switch back to the one
version file as I was running out of space (I have since started using
JAM, but that doesn't help with the OLB, since the exe's and the bible
data files are already highly compressed).

I might be interested.  Is that 20 MB compressed or uncompressed?

What does the 5V stand for? 5 volts?  There isn't 5 volts in the LX200. If
it's not 5 volts, if you or a friend has a PCMCIA adpater for your PC,
reformat it at the DOS level and try again.

Actually, the 200LX can supply 5V or 12V to the PC Card socket.

Philip,
You can define a subset of all diary entries that have "brainstorm" checked
off. Then all you need to do is export or print.

Now let's understand this...I have 2ea 1.5v batteries in the unit = 3
volts. If I plug in a charger it will supply over 3 volts? Ok, I'll buy
that, but if that's so, I would classify card as "Useless" as it can only
be used when plugged in!!!!! Data integrity just may not be that good!?
Wait a minute, it has an inverter in it, I completely missed that! Sorry.

What does the 5V stand for? Good question. Don't know! I got the card in a
trade.
I'll try the PCMCIA / PC and reformat it at the DOS level idea. Then I'll
get back with the results.

Thanks,

Subject:      Re: on line bible

if anyone is either (a) trying to answer my question on running the online
bible, or is (b) watching for someone to ansewer it, i have solved my own
problem.

1.  you gotta have olb 6.22.  the earleir versions are made crazy by the
"light sleep" function of the hp.  if you can run "hisword(tm)" while on
batteries, you have the correct version.

2.  use this command line to start olb:

         bible d={path}\{ver}

as my olb is in a directory, "bible" and i use the authorized version (av), i
use the following (which i have written as a batch file, since i can not
remember this kind of stuff so well):

          a:
          cd \bible
          bible d=a:\bible\av
          buddy
          200

seems to work, give me access to all of the olb functionality, and puts me
back in systems manager when i'm done.  on an 8 meg flashcard, i have the
authorized version, the crossref's, the greek portion of the lexicon, the on
line bible files, and the "hisword (tm)" file, with .5 meg free.  i expect i
can free a couple hundred k more, if i get rid of the stuff i don't really
need.

using "hisword (tm)" is much more pleasant for casual browsing, or reading
through the bible.  as i said once before, i am grateful to tom hoover for
creating it.  however, there are times when the full function of the olb is
needed.  on those occasions, it is nice to have an option.  that's why we
all have hp200lx's.  we want the option to do it our way, and not just the
micro$oft way.

cordially,

lynn m. cavendish

one problem would be that the shark draws a TON of power.  if one (1) had a
doubleslot, which allows added power to the pcmcia slot via 110 wall plug,
and (2) had a pcmcia parallel port, then, yes, there might be a solution.
 without that, there can not be a solution.

i e-mailed the shark's tech people, asking for advice last weekend, and have
received no answer.  if anyone know more about using the shark 250, i'd like
to know, too.

Sorry, perhaps I should have clarified the sentence better. When I
wrote:

"IBM went to Gates, who was developing CP/M software for them. . ."

I meant that he was writing programs for the CP/M platform, not CP/M
itself.

It seems the hp200lx is cut-off from the mainstream.

An ecology has developed around the hp200lx in its small pond, supporting
double-speed mods, and RAM upgrades, because there is nothing else like it.
But the demand is too small for the mainstream to get involved.

Instead, the mainstream has moved on; to pilots, wince's and colour zauri -
though the wince's seem to be going the way of the dinosaurs. Another pond
gave rise to the psion 5; though unlike the hp200lx, it was never a part of
the mainstream.

Perhaps an animal like the hp200lx will never evolve again - the market
never right for a full desktop computer to shrink to the palm of a hand.


The hp200lx *looks* like computing machinery from an alternate time, a time
cut-off from ours, and that developed independently. It has that other-worldly,
"dirty technology" look of Star Wars equipment. A lost device from a more
advanced people. Like it fell to Earth, was found by gypsies, and sold in one
of those odd curiousity shops that you can never find again.

Whether one-off evolution, or a more advanced technology, we may never see
its like again. We'd best make the most of it.

Did you try FDISK100 first?  That's necessary on the 200LX.  If you do format it with a
laptop or a desktop's PC Card drive, it should then work on the 200LX just fine.

Wow!  That was pretty poetic.

I can see the movie trailer 20 years from now:
"In 1997, a lone tourist in Brazil took a trip down the Amazon river with his trusty
Cassiopeia." (Scary music mixed with dark, wet trees along the river bank as we see a
canoe floating by).  "Unfortunately, his canoe sank, and he was devoured in seconds by
piranhas.  But something survived..."  (Clip of WinCE unit sinking into a mud puddle)
"Now, they're breeding, and destroying every living thing they come in contact with."
(Clip of monkeys, jaguars, birds, etc. fleeing from the jungle.  Village in the distance
is in smoldering ruins.)  "Now, a team of scientists is going in to stop the menace.
It's...ATTACK OF THE KILLER WINDOWS CE MACHINES."  (Fade to black.)

Think it'll be a hit?

Exactly.  I posted a question a few months ago asking the same thing; essentially, how
reliable it was to use a 5V or 12V card in a 200LX without the AC adapter, since you'd
only have 3V maximum.  But, as usual, HP did a good job on it, and you usually won't have
a problem.  Unless the batteries are very low while writing to the card-- then it can
cause problems, especially if the machine shuts off from low-power in the middle of a
write.

Until the last week I was using Software Caroussel to run more DOS
applications with high menory requirements such as Agenda. After
several failed attempts I was able to install MaxDos and liked the
way I can now handle those applications. I sacrificed the task switch
feature but I'm enjoyed the change for now because it freed more than
1 M in my C drive.

But to be able to have my appt. alarms while working in DOS I
installed PlayEx according to the instructions provided with MaxDOS.

The problems started here: when exiting SysMan using & M T the
palmtop hangs and I have to do a cold reboot. Has anyone came across
this problem? A dump of my autoexec.bat follows.

DEBUG is useful for debugging assembly language programs or for peaking at
any file to see what codes are embedded in it.  The other day I wanted to
know if a file had tab codes in it or just spaces to separate columns.  By
using DEBUG I was able to do that easily and quickly.

As I recall -- it's also very useful for bringing to life tiny utility
programs that other people have created without using an assembler  Sorry
I can't remember the details at the moment.  The user-to-user
column in PC Magazine used to make use of this feature.   I'll try to post
an example, later.

if you have dismissed the japanese pjt2 program, i presume that you found it
not to be powerful enough for your needs. as far as i know, the real
powerhouse program manager which will work on a 200lx is "timelines."  i have
version 5.0 for dos, which i picked up in a second-hand software shop here in
northern virginia.

"timelines" will do just about everything. it will manage thousands of
sub-tasks at numerous levels of complexity.  it does all that  "budgeted cost
of work scheduled", "actual cost of ..." that is required for Government
C-Spec contract management.

if you can't manage your program with "timelines", i think you may want to
consider hiring a management firm, because you have a heap big progam to
manage.

Debug is the essential programmer's tool.  It allows you to look at
memory and file contents (hex), as well as assemble and unassemble,
deal with XMS memory, and trace programs, all on the fly.

It doesn't even pretend to be a source level debugger, but it's probably
the most trusted Real Programmer's tool since TECO.  I'm trying to find =

a version of this fine line noise editor.

Incidentally, it's a pleasant variation of CP/M's DDT (dynamic debugging
tool) ;) program.  Of course, it doesn't have the killer ;) ;) acronym...=
.
Seattle Whoever copied that and ED for their debuggers and line editors =

for 86DOS.

I think we should all adopt Brainf*** as our programming langugage
and TECO for our editor.  Wouldn't that be fun? :)

Timeline 5.0 (Symantec) is a heavy duty solution - I haven't tried it on my
palmtop - but if you have the space and it runs ok it should handle
projects of great complexity in minute detail.

I found the program Project Kickstart (Experience in Software) to be very
useful as a preparation for a project  setup in Timeline.  It leads you
through planning step by step and when you are ready to move to Timeline,
it will set up a lot of the info for you in Timeline (and some other
programs also - it's pretty neat with Lotus Agenda also)

Anyhow I searched Symantec's web site and find nothing on Timeline - I
guess the only place you can find it is secondhand.  I saw it on AuctionWeb
a few months ago.  I got mine a couple of years ago from Surplus Software.

I looked at:http://www.experienceware.com/palmtop.html
the site for 200LX software offered by Experience in Software and see
Project Kickstart is still being sold at $ 49.95.  I saw a project
management program called Protracs  also $ 49.95 - don't know anything
about it and wondered if anyone else does?

if you have dismissed the japanese pjt2 program, i presume that you found
it
not to be powerful enough for your needs. as far as i know, the real
powerhouse program manager which will work on a 200lx is "timelines."  i
have
version 5.0 for dos, which i picked up in a second-hand software shop here
in
northern virginia.

"timelines" will do just about everything. it will manage thousands of
sub-tasks at numerous levels of complexity.  it does all that  "budgeted
cost
of work scheduled", "actual cost of ..." that is required for Government
C-Spec contract management.

if you can't manage your program with "timelines", i think you may want to
consider hiring a management firm, because you have a heap big progam to
manage.

cordially,

lynn m. cavendish

Well, I thought it would take forever (read never) for programming
languages to appear on the WinCE handhelds. But there is lisp, basic and
forth. Very much in the early alpha stages (eg: PocketForth 0.1); and not
commerically backed, and not your red-hot language-of-the-moment type stuff.
But I didn't think it would be there at all.

Have a look:

Subject:      Appointment views like in conventional diary.
MIME-Version: 1.0

Hi everyone,

I'd like to ask if anyone knows of a DOS package for the HP200LX that
will give a better - looking day and week view than the built - in
application and that runs under system manager? In other words a diary
package giving more of a paper diary look with horizontal lines in the
day view and the type of week view you get in a conventional diary.

Does ACT or InfoSelect do this perhaps? Some other application?

I'd like that feature available on my HP200LX. This request may seem a
bit pedantic but although the HP200LX is a great palmtop, I find the
HP200LX appointment views "dreary" and in need of enhancement!

I know this is mailing list for HP's but just by way of example only,
the Psion series has really nice views which look like conventional
diaries. In the series 5, you can even use different fonts and italics
in your entries.

Thanks

ACT! & InfoSelect don't. I have looked at both & they are, if anything,
less graphical than the inbuilt appointment program. I have not seen any
other diary program for the HP 200LX that does what you are looking for.

...

First, you have wrong order of loading and unloading the TSR programs. If
you load programs A, B, C, D in this order before '200' command, you
should upload them in the order of D, C, B, A. Your autoexec.bat shows
confusion in this point.

Second, Buddy should be loaded immediately before the System Manager (
'200' command).

Antonio,

Are other programs registered to MoreEXM working fine?  There is a
possiblity that this is not a GETAREA problem but MOREEXM problem.

If MOREEXM is all right, check your GETAREA.ARA file.  Did you edited
your file so that all the items are pointing to the image files you
prepared?

Right and TRY "BBS225" wich is very smaller and more powerfull. lot
of protocols X-Y-Z Y/G 1KX ETC, SCROLLBACK, LOG-FILE DOSSHELL...
AND IS ONLY 80K..

Where can I find this? Does it have proper VT100 and ANSI-BBS emu? If so, that the
term for me!

The .ARA file should contain the picture files of the database you are
working on.   I have no such database at the moment.  If I find some, I
will send them to you.

This is the symptom that Buddy is not correctly unloaded.  The other
programs are unloaded (removed) by commands (with such options as /r),
but buddy unload itself by detecting the keystrokes.  Do you exit from
System Manager by correct manual keystrokes?  System macro or other
methods (API function call by other program etc) does not work correctly
with Buddy.

I do not understand this part. Do you mean you removed PlayEX?  If yes,
it is a correct behavior that PlayEX does not work when removed.

Greetings to the Mailing List,

Can anyone help, please?

I've had a request from a fellow Palmtopper in Oz for information on a
possible new version of WWW/LX.  He bought an Omnigo 700LX
(particularly for fax communication) which had a presumably early
version already installed.  There has been some positive publicity
about it recently but as I've got no interest in it at the moment, I
don't recall the details.  It is thought to be configured for a
provider in Singapore, and might make E-Mail connections easier.  Any
ideas would be welcome.

Thanks in advance,

Barry Collins

I am having a problem with News part of Post/LX. Mail works fine but
when the news part
connects with my server (Mindspring), I get following response:

                               "Processing comp.sys.handhelds
                                Message numbermode

                                Server-Says:Authentication required for
command"

Problem is I can not find any place in News setup to define Login and
Password for my NNTP
server. Is there a way of defining login and password in Post/LX news
reader?

Thanks for any hints,

Predrag

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

You could use the Print capability in Appt and generate a list of
completed todo's.  This capability will allow you select completed or
uncompleted todo's within a specified period.  If you print to file,
you'll be able to see all your data in a list with memo, filer, etc.

Alternatively, you can create a smart clip, look under Options-Smart Clip
and create a custom report in comma delimited format.  You can then use
the custom report and print to a *.cdf text file.  Using a database cdf
conversion utility to convert the resultant text file, you should be able
to generate a *.gdb file.  If you're feeling particulary creative, you
could use a combination of macros and batch files to automate the whole
task!

Just a thought...  and it might even work! ;-)

regards,

Jose

Hi,

The map calibration program with lxgps (avail. from S.U.P.E.R. site)
requires a 1 bit/pixel PCX image.  All of my scanning software
stores 8 bits/pixel.  The documentation refers to the availability of
freeware/shareware programs that will do this conversion, but I seem to
choose all the wrong keywords when trying to search for them.  Can
anybody recommend  a specific program?  I would prefer something that runs
under linux.   Thanks!!!!

Subject:      Alarm error in Appt Book
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT

Since yesterday a problem has occurred on my 200lx when opening Appt
Book. I get the message: 'Error, unable to retrieve next alarm.
Please close all applications & reopen ApptBook to enable alarm.'

I did as I'm told by the error message, but it keeps reoccurring. I
deleted the existing Appt Book and replaced it by backups: same
result.

I tested my alarms by creating new ones and by testing Stopwatch:
everything seems fine. But when the first alarm coming up is an
automatic backup of my Appt Book (by way of a macro: ||1, ||2) I get
the error message again. This is strange since I've been using thes
macro's for a couple of months now.

Does this ring a bell? Please let me know.

Thanks

Frank

Try deleting C:\_DAT\ALARM.Q and rebooting. The file is hidden and read-only
so you will need to change the attributes on it first.

Mitch,

thanks for your advise, but I'm afraid it doesn't work for me. I
changed the attributes of alarm.q with chmod.exe  and deleted it.
Then I rebooted my palmtop, but the problem persists.

hhmmm, I wonder why it occurred in the first place. It's quite
annoying!

Any more tips?


Regards

Frank

This is a WTB.

But, to answer your question, the current version of ACT! should be able to sync with ACT! Win v3, according to Symantec docs.

Subject:      Bug in Filer?

I recently bought one of those flash cards discussed here from Sears
(PNY 8MB). When I plugged it in, and viewed the drive from filer (split
view, C: on left, A: on right), it showed the contents of some other
directory instead of the empty a: drive. I formatted the card, and this
did not help. Only after I copied some files to the card did I get the
correct file listing from Filer. It seems that Filer gets confused
about the contents of the flash disk when there are no files on it. Is
this a buf in Filer? Has anyone else seen this? Anyone care to try to
reproduce it?

Some of you have sent messages to support@dasoft.com during the last
week and have not yet received an answer.

Messages to support@dasoft.com are mostly answered by Avi Meshar. I =
am
sad to inform you that Avi is very sick at the moment and cannot keep
up with the amount of messages sent to support@dasoft.com.

I am very sorry for both, the health of Avi and the time you have to
wait until your messages are answered.

Please allow a few days and do not re-post when you don't get an answer
immediately.

Thanks for your understanding and your patience!

Transdigital card includes ROM disk, that is directly accesible as A:
drive on HP. Thus instalation is very quick. The card supports
"Hot-Swap", and has smaller power drain.

 Question; do you have any other programs that you can set alarms on?

The reason I am asking is that the exact same thing happened to me
today. ..bummer. When I checked, I had *no* alarm set on Appt Book, but had
one set in ACT!

 Just to check, I came out on reading your message, went into ACT! and set
an alarm to call a customer at 20:00 with a 5 minute lead time, came out
back and sat looking at clock with Appt Book open. What happened? At 19:55
the error message came up *exactly* as you had written.

 Interesting to find out if anybody else had this problem. A friend had
mentioned to me that he had a problem getting alarms out of ACT!, and I
jokingly suggested that he set an alarm in Appt. Book to remind about his
other alarm..:-) Cripes..Murphy was listening so made me pay..:-(

 Frank, sorry I could not provide a solution, just something else to think
about.

  Well, I've tried sending the following questions (and a number of
suggestions) to D&A Software (via: support@dasoft.com).  It's been a week
now with no response of any kind.  (Even called long distance and left a
voice-mail message.)  Anyone know if they're still alive??

  Here's the questions, rephrased to make sense in the mail-list context...
Hopefully someone here can help me get going with this neat new set of tools...

  1.  In the Post/LX news reader, it's possible to get a list of articles
and just download those I want to read.  Is there any way to do the same
with email?  (Since I usually recieve over 70 messages a day, it would be
VERY useful to be able to pick and choose which ones I want to transfer to
the palmtop.)

  2.  On a similar track, is there some way to manually limit the email
downloaded to just the last <n> messages, or messages after message number
<n>??  It seems like POST/LX always tries to download -all- messages if I
tell it to not delete old messages.

  Thanks,
       ... JLS

I too would urge D&A to do a bit more advertising.  I had to search for
a good while to find information about where to buy on the web.  On the
positive side, the folks at Shier were very helpful and offered me a
money back guarantee on the product.  Unfortunately I asked for my money
back after the product failed to work properly for me.  I tried for
several hours to get www/lx to receive a web page but it only timed out
on my request.  Avi insisted that I wasn't reading the manual, which was
certainly not the case.  I really would still like to get the product
working, but I don't want to give up $100 in the meanwhile.  I think a
demo would be appropriate to be able to see how the product performs.
Take Net-Tamer for example.  Although www/lx is a more polished looking
product, Nettamer had the advantage for me in that it worked for me
without a single hitch while being far less cumbersome in the setup.
Also, Nettamer is only $35 dollars if I remember correctly, and has
telnet and ftp built in. I currently don't see enough incentive from D&A
to convince me to give www/lx a second try. Maybe in the next release,
price drop, or maybe even demo version...

Anyone know if there's a relatively simple (ie, not WordPerfect) file
viewer or perhaps editor that will allow a vertical split screen to
view or edit 2 files concurrently? (something like the dual screens in
Filer).

This would make it easier to compare similar files or coordinate changes
to 2 files simultaneously (I find myself doing that alot).

I know emacs does this...but it's still a bit more than I want to
load/learn.

Of course, both screens must allow scrolling vertically and horiz.

Would prefer it to be small enough that I don't have to MaxDOS out to use
it. Thanks.

I remember a couple of programmer's editors from years back called KEDIT and
QEDIT that would do this. I believe they were closely related if not the
same program. No idea where to turn them up now unless Simtel can help.

You might also want to look at some of the Emacs clones out there.  If you
know unix, then you'll like it.  MicroEmacs and another port (forgot the
name) are available on Simtel.

There's a program which allows the hp to have two parallel system
manager windows - I think it's called TWIN, on S.U.P.E.R. (?) - so you
can run two MEMO sessions!

I remember a couple of programmer's editors from years back called KEDIT
and QEDIT that would do this. I believe they were closely related if not
the same program. No idea where to turn them up now unless Simtel can
help.

Yes, the program called QEdit (Semware Editor jr.) It is shareware. It
has a spell checker which can be installed with it. It is programmable
and quite small 67K in size. Strictly ASCII editor.

There is another program called VDE (Video Display Editor) that has the
same capability but I have not used it for a while and am not sure of
all the features. But it does have window capability and will read/write
Word documents.

I don't know if this my help or not but I remember from my DOS days that
Norton had an editor, very clean and small and powerful. It may work on the
LX200.

Hi,

The map calibration program with lxgps (avail. from S.U.P.E.R. site)
requires a 1 bit/pixel PCX image.  All of my scanning software
stores 8 bits/pixel.  The documentation refers to the availability of
freeware/shareware programs that will do this conversion, but I seem=
 to
choose all the wrong keywords when trying to search for them.  Can
anybody recommend  a specific program?  I would prefer something that=
 runs
under linux.   Thanks!!!!

Sorry to hear about Avi.  I talked to him last Friday and he seemed to
be feeling better.  A relapse, maybe?
I have received and installed Post/LX but I receive an "Authentication
error" after I connect.  It seems to be just after it starts scanning
for messages.  WWW/LX is working fine dialing into the same ISP.  You
can call me at 800-722-9699 from 9-5 EST or email me if you know the
problem.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Here's an interesting anomaly.  Or maybe not.  I created a new database
using the built-in app and imported a text file created from Goldmine.
The database ended up being a rather large 275k (for a Palmtop database,
anyway) with about 1650 records.  I then defined a few subsets.  The
first time I activate a new subset, it takes the 200LX about 10 seconds
to display the subset.  The second time I activate the subset, it takes
even longer, maybe 15-40 seconds.  Subsequent activations of the subset,
however, are almost instantaneous even if the file is closed and
reopened.

Also, does anyone know if it is possible to sort the list of subsets.
It seems that each one is listed in the order in which it was entered.

Subject:      Re: WWW/lx for 200lx - PPP internet software

Out of fairness to D&A and their product, I would like to re-post the a message regarding WWW/LX and Post/LX. This will possibly benefit those who may have either overlooked my comment or missed it the first go-around. I hope nobody minds seeing it again but since the subject has been kicking around the last few days, I thought I would re-post (on my 200LX):

--------   ---------   ----------
I use the new version of WWW/LX with Post/LX for ALL of my E-mail and Newsgroup activities. I also use the Web Browser part of this fine product to travel the Internet, as well as write and update my web site. I travel a lot and changing access numbers for my ISP is very easy. There is a learning curve involved but it is an excellent product. I especially like the feature of reading and writing e-mail off-line. This means that every morning I press a button (pardon the lack of technical jargon) and come back later. My e-mail has been sent, received and phone line disconnected.
--------   ---------   ---------

I too am very intolerant with poorly designed product, hardware or software. I am equally intolerant of poor customer service. While it appears several are making statements that are not in favor of D&A and the WWW/LX product, I would like to make known my satisfaction. Avi was VERY helpful with my questions when his health was good. Although I am not being paid for this endorsement, I am always open to consideration :-). Perhaps this will serve as a bit of balance to the dicussion.

     Hello,

     Has anyone noticed more problems arise with consistent NetTamer PPP
     connections when a 200LX is running off battery rather that AC?  That
     seems to be the case with my Palmtop.  Many of the problems I have
     experienced with NetTamer did not show up today when plugged into AC.
     I use a Megahertz 14.4 PCMCIA fax/modem and Panasonic NiCad batteries.
      Thank you.

Quicken v6 uses an entierly new file format.  You can not move from it to
any earlier version of Quicken.  I'm using Quicken 6 onmy desktop, & the
builtin version of Pocket Quicken on my 200LX.  Although I tried Pocket
Quicken connect, I found it too restrictive, & now I simply keep the two
systems in line manually.  It's a bother, but the best solution I coud
find.  The very fine capabilities of the HP connectivity pack only work
with Quicken up to v 4, & can not be used with v6.

Sorry if this all sounds like bad news ... the proce of "progress"

Probably the POP mailbox won't authenticate your POP login and
password - possibly one (or both) of these is not the same as
your dial-in login and password (those in your ISP setup for
WWW/LX).

I use the Mhz XJ3144 (14.4 modem) and Panasonic 1100mAh NiCads and
NetTamer. Most of my NT usage is straight off batteries and I haven't
noticed any differences compared to AC (in regards to NT).

My usage might be light tho...maybe only 30min per day, tops.

What kinds of problem do you notice?

I have a demo of "PGA Tour Golf" which runs quite nicely on the
200.  I may send it to Super if I find the time, or put it in my own
nonexistant repository, IDK.  Anyways, it's a lot like newer golf
games, 3D and stuff.

I know two editor with this feacher
E! is french but available in english
and VDE. you can found this one on SUPER
I like E! for editing and programing but I like VDE because
it can work as a wordprocessor too.

I use Q-Edit aka TSEJr.  It is completely configurable so you can set up
the key strokes to behave like the HP built in apps (ie ctr+c == copy,
menu key == drop down menus etc.) and supports many programming type
features if that is what you are looking for.  You can open multiple
files and display them in split windows.  The pklited executable weighs
in at 46k, uncompressed 67k, perfet for the palmtop.  Semware have a
website but I don't have the URL handy at the moment...

I have also seen problems with nettamer while on (nicad) batteries =
using
an EXP1414LXM modem. There were a few occasions while I used nettamer =
that
I forgot to plug the adapter into the wall (although I plugged it into =
the
palmtop) and I would notice that after getting online the text sent =

server scrolls past very sloooowly... until finally NT aborts reporting:
'script error - will retry"...

There surely is a DOS emulator for the ZX Spectrum - has anyone tried it
on the palmtop? The writer claims over 3000 shareware games are available
for the spectrum...

Yup I tried a shareware one from ftp.gmd.de a year ago. It ran
too fast on the palmtop!! Could only be slowed down by
registering it AFAIK.

        I have heard - on this mailing list, I think - of people using
Procomm Plus as a communications program. If so, then the stand-alone
editor portion of the package, PCedit, may be capable of doing what you
ask.

I wanted to get an Excel spreadsheet containing just names, phone numbers,
fax numbers, department info into the phone book.
It wasn't easy.  I finally gave up on a simple import.  I exported the
spreadsheet to a flat file.  I then had EasyShare (mentioned earlier on
this list)
read the flat file (where fields were delimited with spaces) and
automatically type the info into the phone book.
It took EasyShare a while to type in 200 names, but I didn't mind since
EasyShare did the hard work.

By the way, a free trial of EasyShare is available.  Contact Jim Holton at
jholton@ix.netcom.com.

An advantage of the Norton editor is that it can edit any size file.
SHE can only handle files up to about 60 K in size.

SHE will do let you view and edit two files concurrently.
(SHE = Seyer Hyper Text Editor)
166.582 KB in size.

SHE has a few other nice features.

   It remembers that last file you were editing so if you just start
   SHE without a command line argument, you will be put back into
   the previous file with the cursor in the same position where you
   left it.

   It keeps a list of all of the files you edited previously.  You can jump to
   the exact cursor location in any of these files where you were previously
   working.

   You can jump to any file from within another file (like making a
hypertext jump)
   by putting the cursor on the file name (or on any blank space to the
left of the filename)
   and pressing a function key.  When you press Esc, you will return to your
   previous position in the first file.

   You can set up abbreviations for commonly accessed files.   For example,
   SHE A (in my setup always edits the autoexec.bat file)

   You can setup prototypes for programming functions that will be pasted
   into your current file automatically.  For example, if you type

      ascan and press F9

 SHE could immediate populate the line with:

      ascan(&arrayname,&memvartosearch,target,startingelem,elemstosearch)

... which is the FoxPro prototype for using the ASCAN function.

You set this up yourself, by creating the PROTO.TXT file that SHE uses.

You can setup your own help file so that when you put the cursor on
a word and press Ctrl-F1, a help window will pop up with info related
to the word in question.

WordStar (remember WordStar?) like keystrokes are used for deleting lines,
copying blocks, etc.

My favorite feature is the import feature.  You can easily import a section of
another file into your current file with a few keystrokes.

I developed SHE in 1988 while writing  *Understandng Hypertext Concepts
and Applications."   I wrote it with PDC Prolog

SHE is currently not available, but I could make it available if there is
an interest.

I use the same setup (ver 6 for win on D/T, built-in on 200LX).  The
database formats are certainly not compatible, but I use the QIF files in
both directions for about 10 accounts on a regular basis with no problems.

In fact, I've used this approach to reduce my PQ file size by deleting the
PQ files entirely and then exporting the account list, category list, and
transactions.
Something that might be a factor is that I only export 1 type of data
(transactions, account list, category list) at a time.

There is 1 quirk that annoys me... when a "split" transaction includes a
transfer to another account, it shows up as 2 separate transactions on the
other system.

Once the subset is displayed, use F7 (sort) and set your criteria.  In the
future, the sort parameters will be used along with the record selection.

Forgiven<G>. It's alive but every time I post a message (well
twice in the last 24 hours) it seems to get in but I also
receive a bounced version apparently from when the LISTSERV was
sending to eugeniop@tissa.com.ar .... is this a cunning way to
prevent a "meltdown" on the list?<G>.

There are several spectrum emulator out there, some of them are neraly
perfect in emulation, but unfortunately they need quite a lot of processing
power in order to properly emulate the spectrum, so, no decent emulation
can be done in the 200lx.

Subject:      Help: Repairing corrupt ApptBook
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT

Since it appears that my appt.adb is corrupt (alarm error), I tried
to go back to my most recent backup. Unfortunately, the same problems
occur in this version too.

Now, I tried to extract valuable information from my database (which
is still quite accessible) to build a fresh one, but neither
removing, extracting nor merging (parts of) adb's seems to be
possible anymore. I get error messages all the time (not enough
internal memory; record not found, cannot open etc.). The resulting
file, if any, gets quite large (some 200K).

So, eventually, I tried my luck with Garlic to restore at least part
of my original appt.adb. No luck. I do get a reasonable copy of
appt.adb, but I still cannot manipulate the data it contains in a way
to build a flawless ApptBook.

So, basically, I've got a corrupt but up-to-date adb and I can create
an empty  one without all the garbage.

What could I do to save my data?

Qedit (TSE jr.) can open a file in memory, the size is limited to the
amount of memory available. VDE is able to handle larger files as it is
a full blown word processor but is still quite small about 80K without
spell checker.

Thanks for the suggestion but I think you might have misunderstood the

VDE is shareware and is available on the SUPER site or if you have it
the Palmtop Newspaper CD The current version is 18f. I have used older
versions and did like it but switched to QEdit based on size and ASCII
requirements.

This means that either your login or your password (or both) for the

Thanks to all who responded about my query. Seems there's no shortage of
text editors, that's certain <g>. I'm still running down a few of them.

Most are shareware ($35-$60 to register) or take more than the 132k I'm
willing to give up for DOS apps (tho VDE and several were smaller).

Lynn Cavendish's suggested Simtel URL:
http://www.polarnet.com/Files/Mirrors/Simtel2/disc2/editor/00_index.htm

was quite useful in getting most of the suggested editors.

Would be nice if PALEdit or someother LX-friendly editor/viewer had a dual
screen capability. I don't know about the rest of you, but using editors
on mainframes, Unix and PC's runs my brain ragged trying to remember
all the CTRL/ALT key combinations <g>.

Thanks again all.

Subject:      LX History
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

While discussing the new crop of palmtops the other day with some
friends, the question came up as to how old the LX was (many thought it
was a recent thing...like the CE machines).

I know the LX's are several years old (including the 200).

Does anyone in this group have the specific year of introduction for each
of the LX models (95/100/200)?

I have used PE 2 (Personal Editor II) for all kinds of editing/wp
tasks for > 10 years.  It's fully configurable, with macros, and is
only 75k, but you may have a hard time finding it.  It was written
by Jim Willie at IBM.

On another note...is it too much to ask folks to use the <enter> key
liberally.  I have noticed a proliferation of lines which go off the
end of the screen, and it's annoying to have to chase those messages
off to the right.  Seems like 70 character margins would allow good
buffer for copied lines and such.

From Excel, "Save As" a 'Comma delimited' (.csv) file.

Then use one of several programs on the Eddie or Monash FTP sites to
import the .csv file into a .gdb  (I use gdbload, from gdb102.zip).

I'd the same problem my modem was usr robotics 14.4.

I changed it and everything is running.

But if you want you can use it in this way:

1) insert PCMCIA
2) use your ac adaptec and plug in you palmtop
3) press ON and if don't work press CTRL-SHIFT-ON
4) the system ask if you want to initialize the ram replay off course

I hope this information is accurate but there is a possible margin =

error of about +/- 2~3 months <g>. The (US$) prices are taken mainly =
from
adverts by Ace Technologies and my personal memory so you know what =
to
expect :-)

The initial attempt of the HP Corvallis engineers to gain management's
permission to start actual development on project 'Jaguar' (codename =
for
the upcoming 95LX) was early in August 1989. Lotus signed up the following=

Subject:      Re. BYTE article

Hi folks,

Here is a copy of a letter I just forwarded to Byte Magazine, for your info.
Feel free to make comments and forward similar letters to other journals that
would do the infamous mistake of not including the 200LX in their handheld
reviews.

<< BEGIN QUOTE >> Letter to the Editors, Byte Magazine

Dear Editor,

I appreciate your magazine and read it with interest every months, though it
tends to become too much oriented towards Microsoft products

In the Hardware lab report on Handheld PCs "Handhelds get serious" by Michelle
Campanale that was published in your August 1997 issue, I was deceived to see
that one of the units on the market that could have the most interest to your
readership of computer-litterate people and programmers has been left out.

Besides having all the usual PIM applications, the Hewlett-Packard 200LX
palmtop PC is an IBM PC XT-compatible, Intel 80186-based computer with a CGA
display. Compared to the Windows CE units you seemed to be promoting, the
applications that can be run by this DOS-based computer are much more powerful
than the crippled-down versions of desktop software that are proposed with
Windows CE: This includes full-blown versions of word processors (such as
Wordperfect 5.1), spreadsheets (Lotus 123 release 2.4 comes in ROM), databases,
speciality packages such as MathCad or CAD software, and even MS Windows 3.0.
Other available applications include Online Services and Internet access
software featuring graphical Web Browsers. Furthermore, the main advantage of
the HP200LX over Windows CE machines is that it doesn't need a high-end desktop
PC running Windows NT to support application development: Applications can
simply be developped on the palmtop itself, using a variety of widely available
Software Development Environments (such as Borland C++ 2.0, MS Quick C 2.51,
Turbo Pascal 7.0...).

The HP200LX is even smaller than most of the machines you reviewed and comes
with 2 or 4 MB of RAM and a PCMCIA slot that provides room for expandability
and additional storage. There is also a version, the Omnigo 700LX, that
includes a cellular phone and wireless modem for cellular networks (similar in
concept to the Nokia 9000 Communicator that was featured in your article).

All the above makes the HP200LX ideal as a portable software development
platform and engineering calculator. It personally find it to be an excellent
Laptop replacement. Despite the lack of marketing support from HP for this
unit, it stands out as a wonder of engineering and should not be overlooked.

As far as Windows CE units are concerned, it might be worth noting that some of
the latest subnotebook computers, such as the IBM PC 110 and Toshiba Libretto,
have about the same form factor, and yet run full-blown Windows 95 and
full-featured desktop applications.

(Disclaimer: I do not work for HP, nor do I have any financial interest in the
company. The above is just my opinion as a buyer that do not let marketing
dictate his conduct and rather makes a careful review of his own needs before
going out to find the product that best matches his requirements).

Sincerely,

 Francois Ennesser

Ok, I'm now aware that there's a documented problem when using zip.com in
an NT DOS shell.  To make it work, I sometimes have to drop the connection
speed to 2400 baud!!!  Has anyone figured out a way to make zip.com run
faster when used on an NT box??

Hi all,
        I just started using the program "GDBIO" and find it nice and easy to use
so far.  My problem, though, is that I'm a novice "C" programmer, and I'm
finding it hard to figure out how to read the "dumped" records into a
program and address the fields.
        I've been a professional mainframe programmer for many years, so I'm quite
familiar with how COBOL programs handle file input.  Right now, though, I'm
struggling with trying do decide between using fgets, fscanf, fread, etc.
I see two possible problems:  1) the double-quotes around the field
contents seem to be "in the way", and 2) since a particular field can vary
in length from record to record, I don't see how I can declare a structure
that will let me address each individual field.
        I'd also like to be able to "spin" though the file the way I would do with
a flat file on the mainframe - by reading each record, testing field
values, and either using the record or "spinning" until I find the ones I
want.
        Sorry for bothering you all with such mundane C programming questions, but
I'm really lost on this one!  I flipped through about a dozen "C" books the
other day, and just got more confused the more I read!
        Thanks for any help you can provide.

Harris

My apologies; I certainly did misunderstand.

Now that I do understand, that is something I would be interested in too.

Sure, you can put SHE on any drive.  Some setup is required, though,
because SHE has to know where her main startup document is.
When you start SHE with no command line arguments, she always
jumps into the last file you were editing, unless SHE's file list is
empty.  In that case, SHE jumps into a default startup file.

By the way, SHE does require
some small support files -- files that she uses to keep track of things
like abbreviations for commonly used files, the list of files you have
edited, etc.

The files are displayed side-by-side -- one on the left, one on the right.
If you want to zoom either one to full screen, you can by pressing
a function key.  Only one of the files is active at a time.  You press
a key to jump forward or backward.  You can jump forward or
backward among all the files you have edited--not just two.

You have to be careful when making "hypertext jumps" -- I designed
SHE so she abandons any changes to the current document when
she makes a hypertext jump.  A hypertext jump is when you put
the cursor on (or to the left of) any filename in the current
file and press a function key.    If you want to save your current
work before making a hypertext jump, just tap F2 before making
the jump.  Hypertext jumps are useful when you have a main
controlling document that lists the names of all the other files
you want to edit.  Then you can just scroll down to the file
name and press a function key to jump into the file.

Regarding wordwrap.  You can turn it on or off.  Sometimes it is
useful not to have any wordwrap.

SHE runs nicely *under* Windows.  It is a DOS program, but
you can set up an ICON for it on your desktop or just run it by typing SHE
at the "run" command line.  I've run SHE under Windows 3.1, Windows 95,
and Windows NT 4.0.

I'm thinking of making SHE shareware, with a registration price of, say,
$9.95, which would give you support and an opportunity to suggest
enhancements and get a free upgrade.

There are a lot of editors out there, but SHE has some unique hypertext
qualities that other editors don't have.  What do you think about
the shareware idea?

The login and password for establishing a connection to your ISP (the
data you have to enter in WWWSETUP) are not necessarily identical with
the login and password you need to access your POP3 account. The latter
needs to be specified in SETUP (POST/LX).

I think GDBIO (available from S.U.P.E.R.) can import and export comma

Can you offer any suggestions for getting the 640x200 screen to work as
320x200?  I'm trying to load Autocad Release 10, and when I configure it
for CGA, I get a screen that looks like two halves of an interlaced
mode, side by side.  I've tried uploading and running DOS 5.0's MODE
utility, but that didn't help.  HP's tech support didn't have a clue,
although Notebook Warehouse Supply told me that "someone" had gotten
Autocad to display correctly, but of course they didn't remember who.

What kind of cable are you using?  The serial cable for the HP is also a
null modem cable, so you need another null modem to switch the cable
lines back to straight serial.

        At the above site I found reference to the following program:

        Z80 IBM PC Author: Gerton Lunter gerton@rcondw.rug.nl
                  Emulates both Spectrum 48k and Spectrum 128k.
                  Is fast on 286 and *very* fast on 386/486.
                  Shareware. Some options are disabled in PD version.
                  Has lots of options including monochrome option.
                  Has small built-in debugger.

        It seems to me that this would be worth trying on a speed
doubled 200LX.
        There is at least one other emulator that it sounded like
'might' work on the 200LX.
        Trying this isn't very high on my ToDo list, so if anyone gives
this a shot, let me know
        how it went.

I don't think this is the case.  The 9-25 adapter with the picture of the
computer monitor is also a null modem adapter, while the one with the
telephone handset is not.  The cable itself is not null-modemed.

I haven't used GDBIO in a long time, but I know C, so I can help you=

the C end.

fscanf can behave badly.  The recommended way to read in files with
carriage-return or carriage-return-line-feed terminated lines is to=
 use
fgets to read the line, then sscanf to parse the line.  Your loop will
look something like this:
FILE *InFile;                    //Pointer to a file handle
char Buff256;                  //Is this big enough?
InFile=3Dfopen("myfile.cdf","r")
if(InFile=3D=3DNULL)
{
=09printf("Can't open input file\n");
=09exit(1);
}
while(fgets(Buff,256,InFile))    //fgets returns NULL on EOF/error
{
=09sscanf( .... whatever you need here);
}

>I see two possible problems:  1) the double-quotes
> around the field contents seem to be "in the way",
Since you know how many fields will be in the input file, you can put=
 the
quotes in the sscanf format line, like "\"%s\",\"%s\",\"%s\"" etc...

I thought a C structure definition came in the docs of gdbio, but I=
 could
be wrong.  I'm sure someone else can help you out with the specifics.
What you need to do, though, is create each field as big as the largest
value.  If you have a char20 variable and you put "foobar" in it,=
 the
string functions know that the string is six characters long because=
 C
strings have a ASCII zero at the end of it, so it knows where the string
ends and the unused space in the variable begins.

YOu should be able to turn the loop above into that.  For readability,=
 you
may want to put the Buff parsing code in a separate function so your=
 loop
just has what you want to do with the data.

C always gives you enough rope to hang yourself with, but if you manage
not to hang yourself, there's all sorts of great things you can do with
the rope.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does anyone know of a decent Pac Man type game that will run on the 200LX. I've
tried all of the usual shareware sites and have found a few, but most of them
require EGA or VGA. I did try the one that was on the HP Game Center but it
seemed kinda "flaky". I'd be grateful if anyone could point me in the right
direction or email me a program. With as many other great DOS programs that run
fine on the HP surely someone has written a Pac Man type program. Thanks in
advance!!!

Is the card you speak of here configured for a specific "service"?  I too am
trying to put together the same type of scenario.  I need a 14.4 cellular
compatible modem.  I'd settle for pocket variety, but PCMCIA is preferred.  If
yours is NOT configurred for a particular service provider, and are interrested
in selling, I may be interrested in buying.

Please advise.

Mime-Version: 1.0

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Without using Windows or Procomm, is there any way to defeat the
hardware handshaking on a PS's serial port?  I want to use a Red Eye to
do an unattended backup, without involving a bunch of operating system
"overhead".  My dream would go something like this... walk in from work,
set palmtop down in usual place (which now has a Red Eye device near by)
and sometime during the night, a PC in the house gets turned on by a
wall timer, it boots and comes up running Intersvr.exe.  The palmtop, at
the prompting of it's own internal Appointment application, launches a
batch file and copies all the new or changed files to the PC.  Yes, I
could just plug in a serial cord, but this is a dream...

I was never able to get the Belkin Redeye to work.  Let us know if you

Disturbing news.  The only success I have had is with Procomm on the PC
(not PS as I seem to have typed :) and the palmtop's terminal program.
Too much manual intervention required for easy automating.

Subject:      COM1 port power
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Like many others, I have turned off the power to the COM1 port in DOS.
 For the few applications that I have installed in the System Manager
that need the COM1 port, I explicitly turn the power on with the
upside-down exclamation point in the Comments field.  One such app, XPORT, that
was working fine for a few days suddenly stopped working today.  Upon
investigation I discovered that the COM1 port power was not getting turned
on.  I checked the settings, and it looked fine.  I even copied the
Comments field from a working COM1-using program, ZIP, to no avail.  Now
for the interesting part:  when I changed the Path field in the working
app from "C:\zip.com /v /b19200" to "C:\xport.exe /p1 /s2" the power does
not turn on!  Nothing else changed, just the Path field.  When I change
the Path back, the power turns on!

In case you're interested, I'm popping up LXPRO to tell me whether the
power is on or not.  I'm currently working around it by using LXPRO to
toggle the power, but that shouldn't be necessary.

Yo Brian,

This is one of the grouses I have about the program, you cannot dictate=
 what you want. With Post/LX you can have multiple address and cc's,=
 and you have access to the address dialog box after you have finished=
 your message. You can even send the message as an email or as a newsgroup=
 posting.

WWW/LX is a graphical browser if you want it to be, the feature can=
 be turned on and off. I usually turn it off as it makes downloading=
 web pages much quicker, however, if you wish to see the image, you=
 can turn it on and download just the image. When the feature is off,=
 the image appears as text image.

Hope this helps. It is a big expenditure, but I have no regrets as my=
 palmtop has now become my PC of choice when I travel, which is weekly,=
 I don't even bother to sycn with my desktop, therefore the option of=
 the CE is not for me, since it seems that is the only thing it does=
 well!!

Of course, only the actual GIF viewing option can be turned on and off.  HV (the program
WWW/LX uses to browse the web) always works in graphical mode, and it always displays
italics, bold, underlining, etc. as they should appear.  So, you could call it a graphical
browser in that sense, and also in the sense that it can display graphics.

Is HPLX set for serial port power on in DOS?

Serial port is set to "on" in DOS .  When I touch one of the mouse buttons
the mouse led lights up so at least power is coming to it.

     Hello,

     Thanks to all of you for your input.  David Colston was nice enough to

     I had previously been running it from MaxDOS and from System Manager
     with "| 280".  I tried it last night from DOS and had no problems.  So
     far I am batting 100% (1 out of 1).

If you can find a copy of Revelation G2B, it runs great, does everythng
you could possible want from a DOS application, and should blow smoke
at everyting else out there.  Now, about that learning curve - not
really any worse than Paradox, or Access, but not exactly pc-file.....

I have tried a number of OEM cards, they're usually for loading updates to
the customers system. If it's Cisco, it's UNIX. The dos machines can't
handle the format. If you or a friend had a PCMCIA adapter for your PC, you
can drop to the dos level and reformat the disk unless it's read only.
It'll work fine after that.

If anybody needs a PCMCIA 2 slot adapter for the PC, I have them brand new
in the box for $90. Latest software and supported by all popular OS. 3.5"
form factor, same size as a 3.5" floppy.

You really need either a flash adapter in the PC or Notebook to reformat
the drive.

Can you restart Win95 in DOS mode and access the PCMCIA adapter? If you
can, there should be a DOS program called ATAINIT or the like it to handle
cards at the dos level. You have to be able to drop to the dos level to
reformat the card. Win95 can't handle foreign OS.

Subject:      Omnibook Problem

I no this isn't technically the correct list but I thought someone out
there might have seen this problem. I have an Omnibook 300 that thinks it
has a password now. The battery went totally dead and after that it comes
up asking for a password. There is a password setting on these that only
asks when totally powered off, not when suspended. I think that is what I
am seeing. I asked the guy I bought it from but he can't remember any
password, of course he bought it from someone else and may have just been
lucky. According to the manual you can call HP "with the omnibook in hand"
and they can tell you how to fix it. Of course I called them and they want
$25 for each call, or $2.50 a minute. Surely someone out there knows the
magic trick to get past this password screen, it must ne some special
password or combination of keys that does it. Any and all help appreciated.

MIME-Version: 1.0

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I happen to have gotten to the contracted developers of the IrDA drivers, and I have
obtained a new build; It appears they have been refining the drivers for quite some
time, but HP just didn't put the updated drivers online. As it is, I will be proceeding to
continue development on these drivers.

I would like to know if there is any applications/addons that might be useful for this IrDA
device. The company I am contracted by has made an IrDA module to plug
DIRECTLY into any printer for direct printing, and it's pretty good with the new drivers. I
am looking into any other apps that I might be able to suggest to them.

And finally, does anyone want this driver? If so, I can post it to SUPER, if I know how to.

Many thanks Ian.

Makes me wonder if the CE devices will age as gracefully<g>.

Heh.... In Singapore, the CE v2.0 is coming out, and HP is trashing out the CrapCE at
S$800 (about US$535). With some rumours, it's expected that the CE will come out a
new version every 6months, with ROM upgrades at about S$300 (US$200). Comparing
this with the HP200LX is like comparing Fine Wine to Rancid Yoguht.
... OS/2 just broke all the Windows!

Q&A 3.0 is a great database that runs on the 100/200LX.  You need about 1.5
MB of disk space for a complete installation. The tutorial takes and added
360K.

Plus, Q&A utilizes artificial intelligence technology to put a built-in
"intelligent assistance" at your service. Using Q&A's Intelligent
Assistance, you can
ask for and retrieve stored facts and figures, and create reports, using
plain English sentences. Q&A 3.0 is currently out of print but is worth the
hunt. I got mine from Tiger Software some years back.

Good luck,
Qman

I haven't tried it, but I bet dbase III or an early version
of FoxPro would run fine.   A later version of FoxPro
would be great if you have enough disk space.

You can create your own database with PDC Prolog,
but it will take some effort plus a changing in thinking
to learn Prolog, which is non-procedural.

Give the full URL and don't put any punctuation marks (like colons),
next to it.

For example, instead of just putting:

    www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml

in your signature, you could put:

   http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml

It doesn't work if you put a period, comma, colon, etc
next to the URL.

Eudora (email reader) and Netscape's email reader both
show this link in a different color and make the link clickable
directly in email.    In Eurodra, if Netscape is not in memory,
Netscape will be fired up and will go to the URL that I clicked on.

While Netscape is loading the site, I click back on Eudora and
continue reading other email.  Then later I switch back to Netscape
to take a look at the web site.

Hi everyone.
I've just acquired a couple of 20mb Intel Flash cards.=20

BUT

I can't seem to get the HP200LX to see them at all.

Presumably they require a DOS driver be loaded at boot time, but which
one(s) ???

Has anyone of you already "been there, solved it, got the Tee Shirt"
etc.???

Any help offered is gratefully received.

Hi:

As far as I know, the 200LX has two NiCd batteries charging mode: fast and
trickle. In the PAL library, I haven't been able to find a function for
selecting the charging mode. Charge mode only allows to enable/disable
charging, and BattFast tells if the battery if being fast-charged, but
nothing to select fast/trickle.

Can anybody help ?

Thanks. Nacho.

I have a chess game that works on the HP.  However, if your a decent
player it wont offer any challenge.  Let me know if you'd like a copy
anyway.  I don't remember where it came from. SUPER maybe?

What kind of teeshirt do I get for this? Better be good!

This is the second time for the Unix cards. There are cards out there to be
had cheap! If you can reformat them in dos, or use fdisk to delete the
Non-dos partitionn (s)and reformat them you may have a usable card.
Adapters for pcs come with software to do this. Depending on what is on the
card, you may need something stronger than do DOS to do this.

There is a Lotus 1-2-3 addin program by the name of @base which I wrote
about in the HP Palmtop paper some months ago. Small, fits on C drive.
Reads and writes dbase III files. Week on "reporting" since no print
capabilities, but can create your own custom reports in 1-2-3. Has
relational capabilites if needed. For printed reports, I've always used
something like R&R Report writer.

  I use the TRUEFSS programs in my HP100LX with a  4Mb INTEL flash card
with no problems.

 This is my config.sys:

files=50

device=c:\maxflash\tffs.com /drive=a /sice=4096

All is working OK , with any compatibility problems.

install program  in my desktop PC, and then copy the suggested files to my
HP100Lx)

The minimal version of FoxPro 2.5 for DOS needs only 2mb of disk space. I
deleted all files that are not necessary, including help files.

The modem is called a pocket modem and it will work just fine on the
100/200lX. Your correct about needed a gender changer and null modem.
You can obtain both at you local Radio Shack for about $2.99 - 4.95.
I just recently traded my 96/24 pocket modem for a 100/LX mother board.
Hated to give it up. But what good is a modem without a working
computer.

Note: Just go into Comm settings and set it for 2400 baud.

Hope this helps,

It is my understanding that if you are trying to have the http address
highlighted at the receiver's end, some programs work and some don't.
Eudora light or pro works.  However, America OnLine does not allow for the
http address to be "clickable".

Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT

I had some time this weekend, and added the ability to view/edit
definitions/topics/notes to HisWord(tm).  I don't know of any bugs at
this time, but I'm considering it a beta version until it's had some
additional testing.  If you'd like to take a look at this version
(and future beta versions), send an email to "thoover@pobox.com"
(please do not send your reply to this list), with the subject
"add HisWord Beta list", and my email software will automatically add
you to the list.

Please note...the documentation describing the new features is not
complete.  I will include a sample hisword.cfg file, which should
give you all the info that you need to get it working.  I would also
appreciate timely feedback on this and other beta versions, so that
they may be "released" ASAP.
