Hi again, Bruce (and also Chris Nelson and Whay Lee),

Thanks for your further help and for the obvious amount of time spent
regarding my XINE problem.  We appear to be getting even closer to the
solution, though to save further effort I hope you won't mind some
clarification of a couple of aspects, starting with your scoop:-

> For those who do not know of this very useful FILER.INI trick, here
> is the scoop from Section 15 of the HP200LX FAQ at
> <http://www.hplx.net/faq.html>:

>   Q. How can I get the filer to run a program based on a file's
>   type?

>   Create the file c:\_dat\filer.ini, containing file extensions and
>   commands to run, as shown in
>                >   this example:

>           Launcher
            ICN=D:\BIN\ICN200.EXE %
            ZIP=A:\BIN\PKUNZIP.EXE %

This is good news.  Presumably almost any programme could be run (on
the 200LX only) from the FILER provided there is a specific command
for that programme.  You have illustrated two possibilities but there
do not seem to be any obvious commands for, say, Lotus 1-2-3 or Memo.
I tried without success to access your reference to HP200LX FAQ and a
friend also tried and failed, so I can't solve this part of it, nor
could I get to view an icon file from the filer.  However, this may
not be a problem with our immediate concern in XINE in the way that I
am trying to use it in conjunction with Pierre Vignacq's PRESS.BAT
programme.

As you also say, XINE requires two arguments, an input and an output
file.  However, Pierre's programme PRESS.BAT (which I told you I had
slightly modified) incorporates XINE in such a way as to avoid the
double argument problem.  At the DOS prompt you simply key in PRESS +
filename (no extension) and hit ENTER; this starts XINE, loading the
file with the appropriate extension as the first argument and changing
the extension as required in the second argument, as outlined below.

The first four main lines of PRESS.BAT are:-

  if exist %1.doc goto doc
  if exist %1.dox goto dox
  if exist %1.txt goto txt
  if exist %1.txx goto txx

This setup part of XINE can be continued for as many file types as you
require to be compressed/decompressed, ie document.doc compressed into
document.dox (1st line) or back the other way (2nd line).

Then come the goto labels, doc: and dox: etc. for activating XINE eg:-

:doc
xine %1.doc %1.dox
del %1.doc

As you can see, the filename in question is substituted for %1 and the
extension of whatever file with that name exists is added.  Finally
the original file is deleted.  The beauty of this arrangement is that
it can be run back in the opposite direction since XINE automatically
recognises compressed or uncompressed files.

My problem is not so much starting PRESS.BAT or XINE in the FILER
(though it could be useful to have that facility as you suggest), but
having to manually enter the filename after typing PRESS at the DOS
prompt, rather than being able to paste it in.  I would like to be
able to highlight the file to be compressed/decompressed in the FILER
and then start a macro that would store the file name in the
clipboard, start PRESS.BAT in DOS and then paste in the filename after
 "PRESS" is displayed to start XINE.  The rest would automatically
follow.

I have worked out a macro for getting the filename (without or without
extension) into the clipboard from the FILER.  This can be used by the
macro to then create a line in a text file:-

  PRESS <filename> (without extension)

This can be saved by the same macro as a batch file, say XX.BAT, which
can be started in the FILER and which starts PRESS.BAT, which in turn
starts XINE.  I have arranged PRESS.BAT not only to delete the
original file once compressed/decompressed but also to delete XX.BAT,
ready for re-creation when the macro is used again.

Although virtually all of this can be made to work via a macro or
maybe two, it becomes messy and cumbersome, particularly if you have
files in various directories that you wish to compress/decompress.
Being able to paste in a filename where required in DOS would save a
lot of trouble.

I have not had time to digest and try your suggestions on GETARG,
Chris and Whay, but I am determined to work out an efficient solution
to the problem.

Thanks to all of you, meantime.

Hi everybody,

As this topic goes on and some people asking for it, here is my original way
of using XINE.
This is the so called "PRESS.BAT" file Barry spoke about.
This is given completly free for your entertainment and as a base for all
improvement you can imagine. Please tell me if you can get it preparing
coffee ;)
I'm glad if this can be of any help.
Sincerelly,

Pierre.

No, certainly not! That article is good advice to academics and
professional programmers.

I am the greatest fan of C around but will advice 90% of all
non-professionals to go for Turbo-Pascal rather than C. There are very
few limitations in the language - just bought the most advanced Astro
simulation program I have seen (Dance of the Planets) which is written
in TP. I even saw the source to a chess program written in TP.

If you can program in assembler, you will of course feel at home in C
(and probably hate Pascal). Another exception: if you want to use a
specific C-programming library such as the PAL library.

How does one start programming to achieve the typical 200LX interface?
I have a number of programs I have written in dBase, but they are all
separate little routines. I can only run them in dBase itself, using
the DO command. Can they be brought together under the menuing system,
with function key lebels, etc?

Well, I know, of course it can be done. My question really is: can it
be done by someone who is not a professional programmer, is kind of
busy, and has only so much time to devote to this project?

What software would be necessary for such an enterprise?

I know that you can run dbase programs from the command line by
providing them as an argument to dbase itself. "dbase myprog.prg" should
run the program. Using MaxDos, you should be able to create an icon in
the application manager that will run your dbase programs. Another
useful but somewhat expense tools is software carousel. There are
techniques wherevy you can create an icon in app mgr to open a separate
SC work area and run specific programs. The benefit of this approach is
that blue keys and alarms still work and you can swap tasks.

 If you wan't to get really advanced you can learn C, install and learn
the PAL lib and some dbase libs (whew!).

BTW, I believe dbase has a parameter you can specify to disable the
startup dbase splash screen.

Good luck.

Hi Quinton,
        The DOCHTML program will give you the error if

1.  Your document file is corrupt
2.  you chose the "save as ASCII" option when you saved the file.
3.  You dont have any memo formatting characters (bold, underline, promote
etc) in the file.

I'm a convert from Pascal to C/C++.  If I remember correctly however, =

For people determined not to learn C, I would recommend BASIC.  I find =

Mime-Version: 1.0

Okay list gurus, here are my questions.  I've been using cc:Mail
with a palmtop.com account for about a week now.  I have three
questions for which I am seeking help.

1. My 200LX (2X) seems slow within the cc:Mail app.  Is this
   typical or do I have something misconfigured?

2. Occasionally when checking over the mail in my folders
   I will find that cc:Mail has created additional Outboxes
   for outbound messages.  Is this a bug, a feature, or do
   I have something else misconfigured?  So far I have been
   moving those messages into the standard Outbox before
   connecting--I don't think cc:Mail sends them from the
   added Outboxes, but am not sure of this.

3. My 200LX will stall during download of some messages and
   eventually hang up with many messages left on the server.
   I suspect carrier drops and have gone to the default
   hayes.mdm configuration (using a Megahertz XJ2144 that
   has otherwise always peformed flawlessly) but still see
   the problem.  I've sent e-mail to Martin Paul, but would
   welcome comments from anyone else.

Thanks for any and all ideas.

Ted

Sorry gang, guess I "Sent" without thinking.  Here's one more
question.  I'll number it in sequence with the preceding queries
for those of you that are keeping score.

4. It seems that cc:Mail sorts the Inbox in reverse chronological
   order.  I find it most aggravating when trying to follow a
   thread.  Is there any way to change this characteristic?  I've
   checked the 200LX manual and found nothing.

I use NetTamer 1.08pt for most of my email using both an XJ1144 and XJ3144
modems, but I also have a palmtop.com setup that I used with both modems for
a while. I don't have any experience with the XJ2144.

Can you quantify this? Mine didn't seem like a racehorse but my LX (2x/6mb)
didn't treat ccMail that much slower than other apps either. Maybe a memory
problem?

My setup worked perfectly with the XJ1144 modem, but had major connect
problems with the XJ3144 and I had to modify the default hayes.mdm and
created a new XJ3144.mdm that seems to work with both modems. Maybe the
XJ2144 needs a special setup. I got the setup string modification from the
modem manual (XJ3144) which had a recommended setup for ccMail.

XJ3144.mdm differs from hayes.mdm by only the addition of 1 line:

hayes.mdm:

HANGUP=ATH0
SETUP=ATS0=0Q0X4

xj3144.mdm:

HANGUP=ATH0
SETUP=AT&F&C1&D2&S1&MWS95=0
SETUP=ATS0=0Q0X4

You should check your modem manual to see if there's anything specific to
ccMail setups, or try the above. The 200LX manual tells how to point ccMail
to another .mdm file.

Sorry I don't use ccMail often enough to offer anymore feedback on your
other questions.

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

Hello all,
  I've finally got used to the gdbload/gdbdump program and can move data
back and forth. It is really a good program. My only problem is date
fields, gdbdump insists on exporting the date as 19980901 (using today
as an example 09/01/98). Most database packages require some kind of
seperator between year, month, day. I have yet to find a work around. I
was wondering if anybody else has dealt with this.  The only solution I
have found so far is to manually edit the date field adding the
seperator so that the database package will recognize it as a date field
when I restructure the field.  There is probably a string function or
some way to parse the record and add the seperator (it could be anything
",","/") but I don't know how to go about it.  It would have been nice
if  the date seperator could be left in as it was being exported to the
ascii file.  The gdbdump manual states that most databases will
recognize this date format, but I have yet to find one that will
recognize 19980901 as a date. Any help or suggestions you all might have
would be appreciated. TIA
                      Terry

I was playing around with the print to file function in 1-2-3,
and noticed that you have to be careful with column widths to
keep from truncating some of the fields.  Have you noticed
this?

I ordered the trial version of this set of programs, but
haven't tried it out yet.  How do you like it?  What sort of
statistics are you using?

I keep hoping I can find a DOS version of Systat that runs on
the 200LX.  Even SPSS doesn't have an archived DOS version!!
I wrote to Leland Wilkinson, the primary author of Systat, and
he doesn't have a copy.  What a shame.  FDA coniders Systat a
validated program, and I know it would run.

I think that if software vendors weren't so short-sighted, they
could sell some of their 'dead' sofftware to DOS palmtop users,
and at least get a ittle revenue out of them.

Hello everyone,

I've heard of some wince developers creating a "soft modem" for CE
palmtops. Modems implemented with software. Is something like this possible
for the HP200LX via the serial port? I don't know enough about it to even
have a clue :) but some of you exceptionally knowledgables can probably set
me stright about why it hasn't been done.
Thanks,

If you can get a copy of Borland's TurboBasic you sould be able to produce
compiled programs that run about as fast as C.  Borland no longer produces the
software but you may be able to find someone who can supply you with a copy.
It compiles very quickly and you can write quite extensively linked programs
with it.

Well, it takes cc:Mail several seconds to move a file from the Inbox
to another folder.  This seems a bit slow, but perhaps I'm expecting
too much.

Doh!  I should have checked the manual more closely!  By the way, I
think we have the same manual, Longden.  Also, did you really use
"...&MWS95..." without any values for M or W?  My manual suggested
"M0W0" which I have added to the setup you suggested.  So far it seems
to work okay.  I also like getting DCE reported now rather than DTE.

Once again, my hat is off to you, Longden.  Many thanks.

I found a newsgroup to do with dBase programming.

comp.databases.xbase.misc

The signal to noise ratio is relatively high, especially for a
newsgroup, and they are not above an occasional flame. It's not very
nice to relegated to a "misc" category, but that is a price to pay for
staying with DOS.

That does seem slower than mine. Still could be a resource problem if you're
short on memory. Mine moved a note in under a sec. I have 3mb free on C:.

I'm using the Megahertz User Reference Guide, copyrighted 1995.

In fact, the section on "Setting Up Your Communications Software" has
separate sections for both "ccMail Mobile" and "ccMail Remote", and my
settings came from the "remote" section whereas I believe we're running
"mobile" on the LX (I think I was grasping at straws at the time). And yes,
my settings, and my manual for "ccMail Remote" shows &MWS95.

The ccMail Mobile section seems to imply that support for modem inits should
be built-in, but that a driver could be ordered from Megahertz (don't know
if that's an option anymore). But that was contrary to the fact that my
XJ3144 wasn't connecting tho my XJ1144 was.

FYI, my setup under ccMail/menu/connect/settings:

baud    :       19200
interface:      com2
flow control:   hardware
dial mode:      tone
dial timeout:   60 sec
idle timeout:   5 min
manual dial:    no
max msg size:   0 bytes

The ccMail Mobile section in the manual suggests that flow control should be
set to CTS, but ccMail only offers "hardware" or "none". I chose "hardware",
since Datacomm offers flow controls RTS-CTS/XON-XOFF/None, so I'm assuming
CTS and hardware are similar (I'm not a hardware weenie).

Terry - dBase has ctod() command - "character to date", which does
exactly this. ctod(19980901) =3D 09/01/98

The opposite of this, dtos(), "date to string", is useful for sorting by
date.

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

Folks,
Can someone help me?
I have setup a couple of applications and a DOS Shell using MaxDos.
According to BattLog, whenever I use any of these, the serial port is
turned on, which gives me a terrible dip in the battery voltage.

Now, I have cleared the 'Enable Com1 in DOS' checkbox in Setup.
I have even tried using Buddy to 'lock' the serial port.

If I run lxstat in one of these DOS sessions, it tells me the com port
power is off. But Battlog tells me different.

I sometimes spend hours in one of these DOS shells, (I use Epsilon
Programmers Editor), and Battlog records the whole session as if the
com port power was on.

Especially worrying is that the backup battery voltage dips by 0.1 volts.

So my questions are:
1) Is this really happening? Or is Battlog at fault?
2) Is there an option in MaxDOS to turn off the Com port?
3) Should my BACKUP battery voltage dip even if the com port is on?

Here's hoping someone can help,
Mike

BTW, My $0.02 worth on the recent flamewar (skirmish?). Unless I didn't
get some messages, John Musielewicz, brought a _private_ email
between himself and Bernie Torbik back into the list, at which point,
things got nasty and several people jumped in.

I certainly won't be leaving the list, the majority of the list is at least of
great interest, if not personally relevant.
Please, people cool down, think (and re-read) before pressing Send, and
check the To: and CC: settings.

Mike

It kinda depends on what sort of e-mail you want.  I have the 3Com
Allpoints card, which is pretty good with WyndMail service.  However,
since you're limited to 400K of data per month for the $59.95 fee, it's no
good for using as your main source of e-mail.  I use mine kind of like a
two-way pager.

I believe that a soft modem takes a whole lot of processing power,
probably more than the 200LX can provide.

I run MaxDOS also and used lxstat as you did with the same result (lxstat
says the com port power is off). I then tried using interlnk/intersvr to
connect the LX to my desktop via the serial and was not able to until I
explicitly gave the command "serctl /W" to turn on the serial power. I don't
use Battlog myself, but it sounds like it has a problem.

Not that I know of.

I didn't catch this whole thread.  But when I had trouble using my xj3144
with ccmail, I found a mdm file somewhere on the net or compuserve that
cleaned up the problem just fine.  It's called xj3144.mdm, if anyone needs
it.

"The Undocumented PC" has a program to swap LPT ports.  It

Not to add to much to the fire. Dunfield Development had a free C
compiler that will work on the 200lx.  It does require that you have an
Editor (not a big deal).

So far I have only been able to get it to work by removing the system
manager and restarting the system in a dos mode only.
The good old "hello world" program compiles to 551 bytes, bytes not
Kbytes. Not to bad for a free program.
Dunfield also has the same thing on disks for $25 and then you get
someone to talk to.
It is worth checking out
The site is www.dunfield.com.

Subject:      Command-line editing on 200LX?

Ok, I'm sure >SOMEBODY< has thought of this before...

Unix has multiple features built-in to minimize typing, now every time
I use my 200lx under DOS I start to dream about them.

I frequently use <ESC><ESC> as a completion when you've typed enough
of a filename for it to be unique.  I also use cmucsh which has
"command-line-editing" where I can scroll back up through previous
commands and edit them to reissue them again, altered.

Anybody got a trick for adding such goodies to the 200LX?  Given the
time-per-keystroke required on the kebyoard, such things would
be quite nice.

Thanks,

Jared

Jared,
Sure. Look for a program called Toddy. It has everything you're looking
for, i.e.

Command line editing, filename completion, keyboard macros, and more. Works
really well on the 100/200LX.

Here's the description from filepile.com:

TODDY v6.12 - A DOS command line editor. Adds
macros, key reassignments, single key key
file name completion, and nondestruc- tive
cursor movement to the standard DOS command
configuration uses less than 7K of memory.
Freeware, by Eric Tauck.

Larry Feldman

Nah.  I'm not going to reply to ryan stone <zeroboy@hotmail.com> and his
inflammatory message, because he already has low enough self-esteem
("zeroboy") and is obviously just a scared kid using his daddy's computer
without permission.  All I'm going to do is ask Al to please unsubscribe
him from the list, since obviously he must have signed up by mistake.  I
certainly wouldn't do anything to harm his fragile self-image, like
mention the fact that he has a hard time with advanced concepts like

"Ryan Stone is ugly and stupid."

Unless I'm mistaken, "luddite" is supposed to mean someone who is

David, you are to be commended for you self-restraint. Definitely

I use cmdedit, a DOS utility that provides what you described and some
more.  I will have to give TODDY, the other poster's suggesting a try,
also.  I'm really looking for a solution that I can run on my desktop
and palmtop, so I'll have this capability in both places.  There seems
to be some limitations with CMDEDIT on the desktop (Windows NT 4.0), but
it works in most situations even there.

Jeff,

I'm afraid that you will find that the CH-CE ground plane spec is proprietary.
You will have to buy all ancillary interfaces directly for Micro$oft.  By the
bye, they are in commercial Beta release.

Cordially,

Lynn M. Cavendish

Hmmm... I wonder what kind of ground plane I would need to use with the

Don't envy them, pity them.  Ever been on the phone with a
fast talking airline reservation agent with only a Pilot to

Some of the hams on the PalmPilot list want to use the Pilot as a
portable packet terminal.

I need to provide to them a source for the Baycom modem and
software ideas. Can someone enlighten me on surces for the modem
and the software that is available today? Back years ago there were
only DOS flavors available as I recall. Some one will have to port it
over to the Pilot OS.

Unless I've grossly mis-understood the way the program interacts with
the GPS receiver, this is entirely a function of your GPS receiver
(antenna setup, field of view, satellite orbits, planned and unplanned
satellite maintenance and outaged, etc...), and has nothing at all to
do with the LXGPS program.

If I'm off base here, someone please correct me.

Do I sense irony here? ... <g>

Okay, okay.  Everybody, I apologize for my sarcastic and vindictive
message.  I should be old enough by now to ignore that sort of thing.

On the other hand, if Mr. Stone doesn't want to get technical messages
(and, in fact, my message wasn't really technical...) then why is he
subscribed to this mailing list?

But in any case... I apologize to all the list members and to Mr. Stone in
particular for my message.

If you're not using a Tripmate GPS then LXGPS has nothing to do with
how fast you get a fix.  With a Tripmate, LXGPS can speed up the
process by providing the Tripmate with the current date and time and
your approximate location.  I did get a report from someone using a
Tripmate who was suddenly seeing very long initial fix times.  The
problem turned out to be a corrupted lxgps.cfg file.  Deleting it and
respecifying the time zone and approximate location fixed things up.

Does anyone use SMMlx?

I've tried it several different times and it kept locking my system.
Sometimes a ctrl-alt-del and sometimes a ctrl-shft-on.

I can't see how it's using moreexm (ie moreexm.ini is not created or
updated by smmlx) but the documentation claims you must have moreexm to use
smmlx.

If anyone has been using it successfully for awhile I'd like to here about it.

In the meantime I'll just stick with HDM

Thanks,

Not yet, I just tried it to see if it would work.

I also have just started using it but the one test I ran was really
complete and easy to run so if the rest of the tests are like that I think
the program is really good and well worth 22 dollars. I was thinking of
using it for doing statisical analysis of stock prices.

Have you looked on Whey's disk? Thats where I got Pspice from and there
were a lot of Math programs on it too. Its at
"http://koaykak.stanford.edu". Tons of good programs. What are the
requirements of the FDA? How do they judge a validated program? What do you
use stats for?

I wholeheartedly agree!! Even if they didn't offer any support it would
sure make things easier! It seems like such a simple little thing. Keep it
on a hard drive then when someone wants a copy, stick in a disk copy it,
test it and mail it to them! It seems like once a new version comes out the
vendors want nothing to do with the old stuff and ignore a whole market!
And most the new stuff like Caladra's Internet package need a 386 or 486 to
run! One good reason to support a program like ModStat since it runs very
nicely on the 200LX (besides on a desktop)!

I don't know what problem you're having, but you have to put in the name of
the program correctly (and it doesn't check like &More does), and sometimes
even the '|' at the end (if a DOS program) before it will stop locking up
the system.  It is pretty finicky, but once you get it going, I think
you'll like it.  Depending upon how much memory you have, you can hot-key
between apps, which I wasn't able to do with HDM.  Also, if you later
remove a program, it will sometimes lock it up when it goes looking for it
(when you start the program).

HTH,

Claud

mc (on SUPER) should enable you to run both, if you want.

Subject:      Wireless Email

As most of you know I work the Mir Space Station with my 200LX on a regular
basis (yes with a coat hanger when at home and with a MFJ dual band mag
mount antenna when I'm patrol car mobile) to send a receive messages from
other ham radio operators or we use it as a digipeater to send real-time
messages back and forth during the 10 minute passes.

I'm curious if the new Iridium network of LEO (low Earth Orbiting)
satellites are going to be capable of carrying data as well as voice
communications. Their television adds are boasting that they will be able to
provide dial tone anywhere on the Earth (maybe with the exception of the
North & South Poles). Just think you could be in the middle of the ocean or
desert and still be able to make a call to retrieve your email!

An interesting sidenote is that if you live in an area without a lot of
light from the city it is possible to view the Iridium satellites at night.
A quick search of the web will lead you in the right direction.

For all the packet active hams on the list who may want to work Mir during
the next months before it is allowed to fall from the sky once the first
piece of the International Space Station is in place, be aware that the
packet frequency has changed to 145.935 simplex 1200bps packet. I haven't
been able to confirm if the FM repeater on 70cm has changed.

Thought I'd share this (tho at first I wanted to keep it as a secret all =
to
myself). Service Merchandise in Turnersville, NJ is clearing out 2 meg
models for 249.70 - which interestingly is 10 cents LESS than they are
closing out the 1 meggers for. There were like 6 or 7 slips left. They're
not in the glass case, where the palm pilots live, they're just hanging
there on the peg board with the rest of the calculators.

Umm, why would they have invented the type writer?

Seriously, try it yourself. Just write down some stuff and then type it, =
and
time yourself. Typing is faster. Sometimes writing is faster, but not
usually faster and neater. OOHHhhh wait a minute - you said Handwriting.
I agree. Handwriting is probably faster thann typing on a tiny 200lx
keyboard, tho some may argue. The pilot don't do handwriting, though. =
Just
printing. But if you drop the pencil (stylus)...

Robert. I would have been a nasty comment except that I'm pretty sure =
that,
in light of a little "situation" the list had last week, that she was

Rest assured, the nastiness is irony.

Darren is right-- Lynn was just kidding.

And, for what it's worth, Lynn Cavendish is a he, not a she.  I bet people

Hi all,

Since the list has gotten a little frivolous lately, I thought I would ask a
real dead serious question... How come the price is 249 dollars AND 70
cents? 70 cents isn't much. Although I havn't been to the US I talked to a
guy that had been there this summer. It seemed very important that one could
pay the exact amount, and receive the exact change, when purchasing
something. No leniency! This became a problem because soon he had A LOT of
small change in his pocket, he said! And he felt he always held up the queue
trying to find the exact amount to pay...

Here in Norway we have 100 (xre) ears  :-) equal 1 krone. The 1, 2, 5, 10
and 25 ears have been gradually phased out over the last 30 years because of
inflation. So now our 50 ears is the last. What happens is that for small
amounts, up to about USD 20-30, the price is advertised as 29.90 but is
rounded up. And sometimes it is rounded down when the decimal value is below
0.25. Something expensive would usually be rounded to the nearest 10 krone,
like 2990.00. From American litterature I read about bits, nickels and
dimes, do 1, 2, 5, 10 cents etc. still circulate?

Got me thinking this... Does everybody use a credit card for everything?
(This is NOT an invitation for jokes, try and resist the temptation, David!)
Are we being had here in Norway? With a price like 249.70, would one haggle
over the price, or does one just accept it?

Maybe I should do a cc: to alt.folklore...

I've seen it on the list but not noted it down.  Can someone remind me
what I need to do to make Mini Telnet fly when I'm using Goin' Postal
and the EPPPD drivers ?  I recall that it was either to have or to *not*
have a WATTCP.CFG file, can't recall exactly what.

I'm trying to work out why with GP 2 (eval) that I'm failing to resolve
the POP server address, so I thought it would be easier to try out with
Telnet or some of the other WATTCP utilities.

I think I have a problem with subnets.  It's odd as I had it working
when I looked at GP 1, but I did not keep a note of exactly what I had
in each config setting.

You won't. Instead you would increase your power until at least the stray
radiation would be enough to reach the spacecraft. This is convenient: no
wires to lay out, no dirty hands, etc. We are talking about CE (Windoze),
ease of use. At the same time, I have to admit that your batteries won't
last as long (due to the higher power needed), you need to carry around a
bigger transmitter to do exactly the same (well, actually to do a little
less than the same), and you need to accept higher losses in your feedline
due to excessive SWR. You might be forced to "upgrade" to a low-loss cable,
probably three times the size of the good old RG58. But in the CE approach,
ease of use should have its price, and the ease of use should never be
compromized.

It doesn't really matter. When I'm in Norway, I end up with a lot of coins
in my pocket as well. And the Kroner, I see them as quarters (which they
are worth in Dutch money). So, at home I end up with quarters in my pocket,
in Norway with single Kroner. Same value, just different stuff. In the US,
I end up with coins with smaller values printed on them, but since the
US-Dollar is more expensive than the Dutch Guilder, again the same value.
There seems to be some universal amount of money that people are not
willing to waive, regardless how the value is arranged in local currency.

Just my two cents. errr, US-dime, Dutch quarter, Norwegian Krone.

This question has nothing to do with our HP-LX but perhaps somebody on the
list has an explanation.
My home computer, a 486 with 66 mHz uses a menu program with a screen
blanking possibility. If no key presses or other activities are taken place
the screen should go blank. This functions well but since some time the
screen comes to life even when I am not in the neighborhood of the
computer.
If nothing runs, than nothing should wake up the screen or?
How can I find out which activity is waking up the screen.

"Handwriting" on a PDA is no where as fast as scribbling with a pencil
and paper.  I think that's the comparison Bill was making.

Hi There!

I just would like to check if we have any user out there in the
world that have tried SanDisk's 220MB flash card on the 200LX?
If so, please give us a report.

Uh - Norwegians are more logical than Americans?

I'm sure there's some fundamental "axiom" of marketing that says to
price things at a few cents less than a round amount to make customers
feel they're getting a bargain.

As for haggling at the Service Merchandise or any other chain store,
forget it.  No one within 100 miles is authorized to change the price
and trying to reason with a minimum wage clerk is not worth the effort
besides being cruel and unusual punishment for all participants.

I inquired with exactly this interest in mind. The answer (at least
for the first year) was no. I am still waiting to get pricing info on
the phone service but have heard rumours of ~$3000 for the handset and
~$10-$17/min call charges. If true I think I will be keeping my
cell phone service:-).

Well, here's an off topic reply :-)

Maybe there's some local low frequency vibration that's setting off the
mouse or keyboard?

Yesterday at school I saw a Bus rumble by the reserved parking lot,
setting off the alarm of some dean's auto, much to the amusement of the
students passing by.  Fortunately, the Bus only comes by twice an hour
so the car's battery won't be completely drained.

When I worked at a large, national (US) retailer, the prices described
the item's "inventory" status.

It worked something like this:  0 as last digit = in-store clearance
                                                       9 as last digit =
regular price item
                                                       8 as last digit =
special purchase item (no restock)
                                                       7 as last digit =
close-out from another store
                                                       6 as last digit =
regular price item
                                                       5 as last digit =
group-wide clearance

Basically they functioned as a mini-UPC.

I took my teo sons to Zion NP in late June, and the view of
the stars was truly amazing.  I hadn't seen stars like that
since the 60s in central Texas while in Boy Scouts.

I could see some items moving roughly NW to SE and vice versa,
and one of the other scouters in the group said those were
low orbiting satelites.  All I know is that as clear as the
sky was, they were still faint and moved very fast - they
covered the sky in what seemed like only a few seconds, and of
course the canyon walls did limit the arc of viewing somewhat.

I can recommend Zion, Arches, and Bryce Canyon NPs, if you're
in the area.  BTW, the meteors were also numerous.

BTW I thought the built-in debug in ROM does hex dumps also, or am I wrong?

I think we are talking about a program that runs on the command line and the
output can be redirected to a file, for later use.  Doing this with "debug"
is not the best solution.

Ha, The one I wrote is smaller yet.
SQUISH   EXE      1492  11-09-93  4:42p Binary -> Hexadecimal
UNSQUISH EXE      1537   6-15-95  9:25a Hexadecimal -> Binary
Fairly primative though.

Here's some others I use with more features.

Subject:        Source for GARLIC?

                                Andy,

Would you be willing to share the source code for GARLIC with me? I would
like to fix GDBDUMP (which I do have source for) to create a valid *.gdb
file. GDBDUMP comes close but the files it produces still need a run through
GARLIC before they will work with the OmniBook appointment book. (The files
do work with the HPLX without a run through GARLIC, but I'm guessing that's
because the HPLX is a little more robust in the face of mangled *.gdb/*.abd
files.)
                                Cheers,

                                - Joe

Yup, wouldn't give it up!

Unfortunately, the same here...  I've found if I order/edit a program menu or
file, sometimes it'll lock up without much indication besides the clock stops
counting.  Other times, I've seen "divide by zero" pop up in the top left
corner.  Almost always happens if I keep typing after I save..

It was a *pain* to get setup, and I almost gave up on it.  I found that if I
had 1-2-3 open, it didn't happen as often.  I'm not sure why, memory or apps
open or what..  But I opened about everything I could before adding menus and
such to SMMX and got the lockups way down.

When you add a program, if MoreEXM is running and you check the "Add to
Moreexe.INI" box it'll automatically add it to ehe moreexm.ini.. :)  So your
hotkey that you've set for EXM files gets used.  I don't believe you have to
have MoreEXM, but otherwise I don't believe you'd have any hotkeys..

>If anyone has been using it successfully for awhile I'd like to here about

It's great once it's setup...  I have Stereo Shell, Utils, Data, Games,
Wordfind, Contrast, and More Apps on my main SMMX screen.  It's a lot less
cluttered.  It's nice to easily lauch data files (123, *db files, etc..) and
it's so nice to have all the menus you want.  I never have figured out the x
Free / XX Total Socket deal at the bottom right corner, but hey.. :)

Try opening a bunch of apps and then using SMMX, helped for me.. :)

The new CE version would be made from plastic, completely unable to transmit a
radio signal, and probably would destroy the transmitter due to SWR, but it
would be fixed in version 2.2 by installing a dummy load in the end so that
the radio transmitter is okay.  That way you think you're getting a signal
out, but all you're really doing is heating up the dummy load..

Now that you mention it, Battlog 2.2 (recently released) says my com port is
almost always on, I think my last 35 hour run 65% of it the com port was
claimed to be on.  I thought it was wrong, but when I'd go into Filer a lot of
the time Buddy would show me at the top that the serial was indeed on, I'd
turn it off with - and then Battlog would reflect it.

Kinda weird..

Also, I noticed that with the new battlog my backup battery voltage fluxates a
*LOT*..  I need to reinstall the old version and see if this still happens.  I
just replaced it, so I know it's not about dead.  It looks like as my main
voltages go down, the backup goes down too, like to 2.9v according to battlog.

This has nothing to do with HP-LX but should be interesting anyway:

www.fourmilab.ch (and its mirror www.fourmilab.to) has all kinds of maps
over the earth, moon and outer space in general. You can for example see
the earth as it would look from probably any satellite you know the name
of and many you probably have never heard about (I gave up counting them
on the list) -

YES, also as seen from MIR, and NO, however much I looked, I could not
see Jeff's luddite coat-hanger-antennae - probably because they are not
MS CE-type hangers as David rightfully pointed out.

However, before you wet your trousers of joy, they are not real pictures
fetched while you look. The good thing is that the pictures are small
(in the 20K class so it is fast).

It's free, burned into the rom, and takes very little memory, remembers
commands
issued before and after running sysmangaer & other dos programs, can run
macros
and aliases...

Hmm.  Looking round on my palmtop I see in F:\HP100ISV\TOOLS:

   GARLIC   DOC       9221 08-02-94  11:53a
   GARLIC   C        23700 08-09-94  12:14p
   GARLIC   EXE      19587 08-09-94  12:14p

GARLIC.C seems to be for "Ver 1.2".

Now the catch is that I don't know whether this is from the old ISV
kit that I got from HP or the newer SDK that I got from Thaddeus
(which comes with a revised and somewhat more complete manual than the
older HP one though I think both describe the GDB file format
somewhat).  If the latter I'd think it would also be on the Thaddeus
Palmtop Paper CD InfoBase product but don't have that in front of me
right now to look.

Well... for me - the most important (and most used) feature of the command
line enhancement programs, is the file name completion feature. Type a few
characters, press the tab key - and you cycle through matching file names.
DOSKEY doesn't feature this. That said, when I set up computers for people
(as I sometimes do), I ALLWAYS install Doskey for them.

I cannot comment on BattLog as I do not use it, my only question would be=

is it active when in a DOS session? It is possible that BattLog may only
record the COM port state at the point at which you enter the DOS session=

and guesses what happens in between.

To my knowledge there is no such option, MaxDos is simply providing you
with a DOS session, and I would be inclined to believe the results that
LXSTAT returns.

>3) Should my BACKUP battery voltage dip even if the com port is on?

If by backup battery you mean the small button cell in the side of the
palmtop then no, this should not be affected by the COM port state. The C=
OM
port increases current consumption by about 10% over the current when the=

COM port is off, but this is supplied by the main AA cells and the small
change in current may affect the battery voltage of the main cells a
little, but how much depends on the type of cells, their age etc. The
important fact is that current consumption is increased, the battery
voltage does not matter as long as it does not drop below the threshold a=
t
which the palmtop complains that the battery needs charging.

There is always DOSKEY which is in the built in ROM in D:\DOS. This will
provide some of the functions you mention such as scrolling back through
previous command lines and calling up a list of the previous commands
entered, together with a macro function if that is any use.

Time for me to delurk at last!!
I've been playing around with BattLog 1.4 & 2.2 a fair bit (not *that* kind
of playing!) and it's true - the backup battery does tend to fluctuate a
bit (currently at 2.94v).  This is mostly when the machine is first
switched on (or batteries are changed) - the battery goes from a highish
voltage and can drop a fair bit.
BTW, my record battlog.log file was 135 hours long - can anyone beat that?
:-)  Lazy, or what?

Folks,

I found a copy of act 2.0 upgrade and now have moved everything from my
act dos 2.11 to actwin 2.0
then I d/led the upgrade/fix from the symantec site and it be came 2.09

?However I still can't get them to connect to each other.  So
IS 2.04 the ONLY version that will work with the 1.1.1 upgrade that allows
act for hp95 to work on a 200lx?

If so could I reinstall  2.0 then look around for the 2.04 fixpack?

I know it isn't the machines.  I've tried to get this to work with a
couple f different machines and with OS/2 and Win95.  My settings work
fine for tranfile win 200 and with linkright.

So....  Ideas?

Howdy:  Does anyone know of any product or kluge which allows external

the 200 or for other products.  Is this a problem with HP, Hitachi, or

Hello,

   I just bought a HP360LX and I would like to use it as a terminal to talk
to routers and other equipment. Does anyone know where I can find some type
of hardware that will work so I can have a COM port on this thing. Any
ideas would be great.

Before you get flamed to death I thought I would jump in. First off,
this list is generally limited to the old DOS based HP palmtops, the
HP95LX, HP100LX and the HP200LX. There are alot of web sites that are
specifically for windows CE based machines, such as your HP360LX.
There is also a mailing list but I don't have the address handy. If
you can't find it drop me a note and I will send it to you.

Now, addressing your problem. Your HP360LX does have a com (serial)
port but it used a nonstandard connector. That is the port that is
used to dock with the host machine for syncronization and download of
programs. You should be able to buy just the serial adaptor cable,
without the dock, for connecting to another computer. Then using that
and a null modem adaptor (available at most computer stores) you can
connect to anything that has a serial port.

As far as terminal software goes I am not sure what is available.
Your best bet there is to search for some wince web sites, many of
them have software repositories. There is also a good bit of
commercial software out there, check www.mobilesoft.com for a good
commercial software site.

Good luck and drop me a note if you need the mailing list address or
even some web sites, I have them around here somewhere.

This is interesting. Don't you have a terminal program in ROM and a

Dear Mr. Hale,

I doubt if anyone on this list will be able to help you.  We are all -- for
our own perverse reasons -- trapped in the past using 95/100/200LX models.
There is no excuse for us, but those are the sad facts.

If you search the 'net for Windows CE oriented groups, you may have better
luck.

A thousand pardons for our inadequicy.

Corey,
this forum is really limited to the 95lx,100lx,and 200lx DOS machines. I can
help you some, however. The cable that came with your lx is a null-modem
cable. If you buy a null-modem adapter, your cable will become a standard
serial cable.

Jim,
I hate to burst your bubble, but Service Merchandise managers do have some
latitude in marking things down. I have "dickered" the manager down on a
second 200lx when it was discontinued here in Florida, and for my Wife's WinCE
machine.

BTW, can I be banned from this list if my wife uses a WinCE machine? It's not

As others have pointed out, you've posted to a mailing list that
pretty much serves users of HP's DOS-based palmtops, and I'm one
of them.  This isn't a flame though, but a genuine expression of
curiosity by one who thinks he may have to ask the same question
one day.

The 360LX doesn't have a serial port?

HP's web site lists a built-in "terminal application" with TTY/VT-100
emulation, and a "synch cable" (F1223A) that looks like it would go
between the 3xxLX and a PC/AT-style DE9P serial port.  OK, so I guess
I would need to make (or buy) at least one adapter to get that out to
a DB25 of appropriate gender and DTE/DCEness, and if the "terminal
application" is like the one in the Win95 and WinNT telnet client I
might want something else.

(Start at http://www.hp.com/handheld/palmtops/hp300lx/300lxhome.html
and click on the Specifications tab at top to see the built-in apps
list, and the Accessories tab, then "Cables and Connectors" to see
the synch cable.)

How does that not work for you?

If that isn't the right path to take, how about something like a
Socket Communications serial port PCMCIA card?  Would that work?  I've
used the dual-port flavor of those before to turn DOS-based notebooks
into protocol analyzers.

As an owner of a 360lx (it sits in the drawer until/if Microsoft can get it
right, PC - not PDA) I had to pull the machine out to check this problem.

While the 360lx does have a serial port and terminal software built-in, you
can't configure the terminal program to use the serial port. It will only
setup on a modem. It's about the silliest use of hardware I've ever seen.

I then checked around on the web, and the closest I could come to what you
need is a Socket I/O card. It will give you a controllable serial port, but
you lose the PCMCIA slot in the process.

You'll find that this LIST is really dedicated to the HP DOS-based
palmtops (and hopefully, you'll only see polite responses!)

I'm not sure I understand the question.  The 360lx has a comport where
the serial cable plugs in.  That cable is a null modem so to talk with
things other than a computer, like and external modem you'd need another
null modem.

The IR port is also a serial port.  Now, I have to admit I know nothing
about routers.

Of course we still use pennies ... it gives us the opportunity to
set up little cups at the convenience store checkout counter that
say "got a penny, give a penny; need a penny, take a penny" ...
and then we get to feel oh so philanthropic when we put in our 3

Just my 3 cents.

Thanks for clearing that up! I always used to word my replies with

The Palmtop handles 2/29/2000 correctly! (Lotus and Apptbook).
It is in fact a leap year. Outlook98 and Franklin/Covey - if
they think it is a leap year - do so correctly.

There are probably programs out there which will fall down.

I tried this before, about 3 years ago. In fact, one of the
first copies of WWW/LX Plus I sold like that, using the cell
phone at a restaurant in NYC. Then used the same contraption
to run the credit card transaction right from the palmtop.

Problem is that it is very expensive to download and send
50-100 messages using a cellphone.

Not exactly. When you see the URL in Post/LX, press G (for
grab), locate the cursor on the line with the URL, then press
Enter. It will then ask you to confirm what text to grab, you
can edit the line to just leave "http://www.xyz.com/html.html"
or whatever URL you want. Then press Enter. It will then
suggest to you to append the URL to HV.HOT (you can append it
to any other file, of course). Press Enter.

What is appended is the URL, in lieu of <TITLE> (which is not
present obviously...), and on the next line, the URL itself.
Your batch file to edit that lat file is a very functional
solution.

I am guessing now, trying to read your mind: You'd probably
want to have Post/LX append the URL, but also ask you for any
information in lieu of the <TITLE> tag, to append to the
HV.HOT entry, is this correct?

I'll pass this along as an improvement request to development.

Michael,

The LAB and PAG files are created by HV as workfiles it needs
to locate the Web documents you download to your palmtop. I
suspect that your troubles are because they get created in the
root directory of you drive. The root directory is limited in
that it can hold only a limited number of entries.

To fix this, make sure you install HV in a subdirectory OTHER
than the root, and in HV.CFG, make sure you have the
following:

IndexDir=3DC:\_dat\

and

CacheDir=3Dc:\_dat\

This will force these files to be created in the C:\_dat
subdirectory. you can delete them after the online run, but it
is not sstricly necessary.

The error you get indicates that there is probably not enough
room to create the files, so one reason is as stated above. It
is also possible that you simply ran out of space on the disk
drive.

I cannot see the connection to keys200!

Jorgen,

 > If so, please give us a report.

I use a 160MB on the 200LX (will not run on the 100LX without
some driver...) Runs fine. The disk is fast. There is a small
delay when Filer starts up, reading the directories(?) - it is
DEFINITELY less than 4 seconds, but depending on how much
coffee you had, it may or may not be annoying to have it
rather than an instant response.

For my money, this is a terrific drive. It beats all the other
drives we compared against (admittedly not an exhaustive
list!) except a Micron 300MHZ with 96M and a huge cache ;).
Even without the cache, in plain MSDOS, that disk beat the
160MB PCMCIA. (the only issue with the Micron desktop and hard
drive was that I could not just fold it, put it in my pocket
and go. It also sucked 2 1.5V AA batteries dry in about 22
milliseconds, I think! ;) ..)

I suppose with a 64MB 200LX (soon!), and 160MB on the A drive,
I may be set for oh, a month or two. Since I got the 160MB in
June, I have been amazed that I still have lots of space! When
I got my 20MB in December 1985 it filled up by February 15.
When I got the 40MB two years ago, it filled up in 3 months.
The 160 I expected to fill up too quickly, but it does not
show such signs. (I am smiling while writing this, of
course...)

If you want a 160MB I can sell you one. Let me know privately,
in fact any of you.

Frankly, I think it is such a waste. Imho, the globe should be
simply slowed down to 360 days per year, each month 30 days,
etc. :)...

I believe the the rule is:

Leap year is a year divisible by 4,
  except if it is a centennial (i.e. a century year,
    except if the century year is also divisible by 400

2000 is divisible by 4, but is also a century year,
disqalifying it, BUT for the "divisible by 400" exclusion,
which it is - i.e. it is a leap year, properly recognized by
the Appointment book and Lotus 123.

ROFL :-) So, if I understand correctly, this machine comes with a serial
port built-in and a terminal program built-in, but you can't use these two
together.

How dare they sell such a thing? I've always trusted the people on this
list that it isn't worth the trouble to look at the CE machines. But I
didn't know it is *that* bad! It would drive me nuts to have two halfs of a
communication device built-in into the machine which don't fit together.

Hi everybody!

As a dedicated CE-user, I have always frowned upon the people who are using
antique machines like the 200LX. Recently, I heard some rumours that the
200LX mailing list has the most polite people, and that they are lining up
in a queue to help out the CE users. I couldn't believe it, but I have now
seen it myself. I decided to unsubscribe from my CE-lists, and repost in
this 200LX-list all the questions about still unsolved CE-problems (there
are many!). I advised other to do the same. Stay tuned.

One question to start with: I'm looking for a coathanger which fits into my
PCMCIA-port. I have been calling several vendors, but noone have it
available. They all say to call back in a few months. However, I can't wait
so long, as I have heard rumours that the MIR station is about to fall
apart. Now, my sister has a daughter and she has all kind of Barby-dolls.
She also has a Barby accesoiry set with miniature coathangers. The label
says they are unsuitable for young children, so I guess I can have them.
They are made from plastic, but I wonder if that matters. If it matters,
can I use silver metallic spray? At least then they look like they're from
metal. And to which pin in the PCMCIA connector should I connect the thing?

Another question: My CE machine drains the batteries so quickly. Now it
seems that if you put an apple inside a pyramid it remains much longer
fresh. Also, a razor blad remains longer sharp under a pyramid, and by
putting a pyramid above the fuel-tank, the car seems to run more economical
on fuel. Does anyone know if a pyramid case for the CE will allow it to run
longer on a pair of batteries? Or is it better to start looking for a
pyramid shaped battery pack?

Yet another one: If I turn the CE machine vertically, the screen goes
black. However, this only happens if I'm wearing my polaroid sun-glasses.
Has anyone noticed this too? Does it harm the machine?

A previously desperate CE-user,

C.E. Winny-Do

It is. With the higher temperatures, ice is melting from the ice-caps, and
the water divides evenly over the globe, i.e. mass from the ice-caps moves
away from the axle, hence a slower rotation. Never noticed that the time is
adjusted with extra seconds (usually around 00:00 UTC) frequently? I think
that around 2400 your desire will be fullfilled.

Where could I find a serial number?  8-)

Why did Ace go out of business, I noticed
flicking through a 1996 accessories catalog

that they sold everything.

In  an emerging PDA market how could they
not succeed.

I found the solution !!!

Somehow my POST.ADR was being corrupted. CHKDSK sounds OK. Inspecting
the files further I saw some rubbish in the start in the POST.CFG file.
Made a backup and remove the file POST.CFG. Run SETUP and recreate and
compare the difference afterwards. What was the difference ? The section
MFILTER with its belonging attributers were now back. They were not
retrievable in my backup file ! Now copied the section MFILTER and
inserting it into the top of the backup file. And voila WORKING !!!!!!!

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

I was just expounding the other day to Jorgren W
how great Lithiums were.  I was up to 30 hours with
1/4 to 2/3 of the battery fuel tank still showing, then
pow next day at around 31 hours worth they gave up
the ghost.  Back to a 10 pack of alkalines for the
price of two Litiums I think 8-) as I don't like this no
warning.

The funny thing is that when I changed to two Alkalines
that I had with me (as luck would have it) the auto-off
timer stopped working.  Buddy showed it locked on
180 seconds, unloaded Buddy to see if that was causing
problems but still no joy, ended up doing a crtl-alt-del,
this fixed the problem.

However it brought to light (to me anyway 8-) ) that
there does not appear to be anyway to change the auto
off time setting or disable the function (I went looking
thinking that I had changed something in the set-up).

Am I missing something simple or is that the case?

Regards from a wet cold windy Western Australia.

Doing Grafiti (or Jot like I do on my Nino) can be slower, about the same,
or faster than typing on a HP200LX keyboard depending on you skill level.
For me it is about a wash.

However, when I had a Newton MP2k with full *handwriting* recognition, it
was faster - just like writing on a piece of paper.  Of course, I'm a lousy
typist...

All of my HTML documents are stored in subdirectories, and the only
file in my root directory is autoexec.bat.  So, I don't think this is
the problem.

HV is installed in C:\HV and I have both of those directories set to
C:\TMP\ in my HV.CFG file.

That's what I thought when I first saw the error message.  I checked my
available space and removed some files to make sure that I had enough
room.  I now have ~140K available on my disk and since the .LAB and
.PAG files are only about 300 bytes, I figured that I have plenty of
space.


> I cannot see the connection to keys200!

I've finally been able to duplicate the problem with key200 loaded and
unloaded, so I no longer think that is the problem.

This is the step-by-step process of how I get the error:
  1. Close all open applications to make sure I have enough memory
  2. Open Application Manager
  3. Start HV
  4. Press F5 for the Hot List
  5. Select the page that I want to view (c:\cmu\18240\web\syllabus.htm)
  6. choose "Go To"
  7. I get the "Could not create index file (LAB)." error message
     (So at this point, I can't scroll down in the page)
  8. Press F8 for Info
  9. Press F6 to go back

At this point the page is loaded correctly. To view a page that is in
my Hot List, I have to follow steps 4-9.  I still get the error message
if I start HV from Filer or if I close the System Manager and start HV
from a plain DOS prompt.

I can also get the error message immediately after I choose File/"Open
Local File".

Any ideas?

Michael

You may want to consider the XTCE Dos emulator. With it on the 360LX you can
run a DOS terminal program. you will need an adapter for the serial cable
which by default is setup as a null modem. I would also suggest that you use
the WinCE list:

When I had my MP2K I found that there was no comparison with the 200LX,
IMHO.  But then I'm much faster at typing than writing, even on the 200's small
keyboard - I'm an accomplished thumb typist when the unit is resting on my
palms, or using first and second digits when using it on a desktop.  I sold my
MP2K (for a profit!!) when I realised that it was not sufficiently fast at
data input for my requirements.

The one *major* plus in favour of the MP2K is its web browser, but all the
other niggles made it a pain to have around, not the least of which was the
fact that it is a full 100% larger and heavier than the 200LX.  Hurrah for
HP200!!

Frans,

My company specialises in unique WinCE accessories. We can supply you
with:

Yes we have WinCE, pcmcia compatible coat hangers - available in
plastic. We also have an executive model made from cedar wood.

Again we can supply pyramid covers, battery packs and rechargers in a
choice of designer styles including Mayan and Egyptian.

No problem here - you are just missing the WinCE approved rotatable
lens polarising sunglasses. We also stock these.

One final accessory you may want to consider, especially if you have a
colour WinCE, is the "Worthington" - a collapsible designer picnic
table with table cloth so that you can sit under it and be able to read
your WinCE outside in bright daylight. An executive pyramid shaped
model is available.

Make a copy of the file and try these things on the copy:

- run Garlic which is supposed to fix corrupted databases, tho my luck has
been not so good using it.

- use GDBDUMP to try and extract the data into a comma-separated-variable
text file. You may be able to fix some of the problems within the CSV file
itself, or the extraction may just omit some of the bad portions

Try either or both of the above, be forewarned tho, that both methods can
just fall flat on their faces. Both Garlic and Gdbdump are at the SUPER
site.

Best recourse would be to restore from backups.

At the risk of getting flamed for helping out on a Windows CE question -

I use a Newton Keyboard with my 320LX.  I have the PiloKey adapter from
Landware and then just plug the keyboard into the 320 serial cable.  There
is a freeware Newton keyboard driver for 320LX/Win CE available to make the
thing work.

'Course, I also use a Newton keyboard with my 200LX which is a much superior
solution ...

A final resort - open the dbase in Memo and tediously cut/paste the data
manually back into a new dbase file.

Do you know what PCMCIA controller chip is in there? Options are:

Databook
Intel compatible (Vadem, C&T, and others)
other standard

if its one of the first two, then you should be able to use generic drivers
from Phoenix, SystemSoft and some others.

only if it is #3 will you require specific drivers.

The only other potential problem is a non-standard IO address for the
controller chip (normally it is at 0x3e0/0x3e1). If you know how to use
DEBUG, you should be able to determine whether the controller chip is
responding at that location pair.

Yes Avi - what I would like is a choice for the "title line". If URL is
comprehensible, it can be its own title. But I want an easy option for
supplying the title myself.

I added the bat file to the External menu, as HOT&X. So I only have to =
press
{Menu}XXX, and I'm editing HV.HOT .

Subject:      Surfin' on a HP200 (again)
Comments: To: Nettamer-List <nettamer@dekan.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0

Greetings!

Subject should probably read, "Not Surfin' on a HP200 (still)."

Nettamer works fine for mail, but can't get the a web page to download
or get an FTP connection.

On WWW:
Connect,
Hit F2 (online options)
Enter HTTP
At the "Enter New Web URL" prompt, enter
http://pcisys.net  followed by almost anything (URLs that work on the PC
in IE4)

Always get "Looking up pcisys.net"
Followed by "no contact" and the DNS address.

Regardless of the URL entered, always fails the lookup.

Same basic error for FTP attempts (no contact).

Missing something obvious here?

Thanks!

Unfortunately my company uses Groupwise (4.1a) and I have been trying to
find a solution to sync it with my 200LX. After a few days of looking around
I haven't found a way to do it yet.

I did find Intellisync from Puma had a Groupwise(5.x) to CE product but
that's about it. We are going to Groupwise 5.x before the end of the year so
does anyone know:

     0 Some way to sync up the 200LX with GW 4.1a or
     0 the same thing but with the 5.x version.

With 13 million users of Groupwise I would think that someone has crossed
this hurdle before (at least I hope so!).

I just want to get the appointments and todo's across although it would be
great if I could include the notes too.

Any ideas?

Thanks-

Try the IP address. If that works then you probably need to have a
proper DNS entry.

Also, what version of NT. I use 1.10 and am happy with. I found that
1.11 took out features and added some bugs.

Yep. The only thing on the URL line should be "http://" followed by the
URL, like www.whatever.com

that pcisys.net being in there first screws it up.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain

                I am looking for the smallest possible keyboard and LCD
monitor that will interface with a standard PC. Power requirments ar not
an issue and an AC power only device will suffice. I know that you guys
are well versed in all things small but, of course, this is not
completely on topic.

                If you wish to flame me please feel free. I have plenty
of room in my deleted mail folder.:-)


                P.S.

                I, too, have included a little joke in hopes of
appeasing the group:


                The kindergarten class had a homework assignment to find
out about
                something exciting and relate it to the class the next
day. When
                the time  came for the little kids to give their
reports, the teacher was
                calling  on them one at a time.

                 She was reluctant to call upon little Johnnie, knowing
that he
                 sometimes  could be a bit crude. But eventually his
turn came. Little Johnnie
                 walked  up to the front of the class, and with a piece
of chalk, made a
                 small

                 white dot on the blackboard, then sat back down. Well
the teacher
                 couldn't figure out what Johnnie had in mind for his
report on
                 something  exciting, so she asked him just what that
was.

                 "It's a period," reported Johnnie.

                 "Well I can see that," she said. "But what is so
exciting about a
                 period."

                 "Damned if I know," said Johnnie, "but this morning my
sister said
                 she  missed one. Then Daddy had a heart attack, Mommy
fainted and the
                 man next  door shot himself."

I have no idea where the .GR domain is, but I see you're lucky enough to
be in an area with GSM cellular capabilities.  A 700LX works *great* with
a docked Nokia 2110 (I think that's the number).

My freind in England is very happy with his.  We've both used it with
my Goin' Postal for our email while I was there and he's used it for
fax and sms messaging.

He found some ex-demo units with full HP warranty at a place near him.  He
is currently on the Orange cellular service.

Help, just networked two computers,  a Win95 and a Win3.11 machine using
the built-in networking, and want to hook on my HP 200lx. Have the low
power Accton card that is supposed to work in the 200lx. It came with a
floppy that has a bazillion drivers on it, but incomprehensible instrux.
Can I get the HP200lx on the network, and if so then how??  (i.e. which
driver to use, where to put it, modifications to make to my config.sys
or autoexec.bat, etc, etc) Also, when I turn on the HP200lx with the
Accton card in it, it beeps and reports "card battery low" but it
doesn't look like the card has one... This happened with a fresh pair of
Lithiums in and Volt/lx reporting 3.23...
TIA for any help,
Suresh Nirody

My favorite little LX utility, LXSTAT, will do both of these.  It is
available on Eddie (ftp://eddie.mit.edu/pub/hp95lx and you're on your own
after that) and I think it may now be on SUPER as well.
Once you get it, the commands are:
LXSTAT T 0         to disable timeout
LXSTAT T MM:SS     to set timeout to MM:SS

The program also has built-in documentation which is accessible with
LXSTAT -H

Cheers.

I have one called TIMEOUT.COM (112 bytes) which allow you to set the
timeout to any number of seconds from 1..3600.

If there is interest, I could change it so it does not timeout at all.
Personally I nod off every 3600 seconds anyway.

Email me if interested in the program.

HI,

Do you have the correct cable for the 8110? And is it a recommended card?
The only 8110s I've seen have either a serial cable to a com port and W95
sw OR a special cable to a special modem card, approved by Nokia, and W95
sw. I haven't seen anyone yet trying to get a dos program working, and I
don't have such expensive hw to play with! Yet.

Check the SUPER site for fax programs, www.palmtop.net I think it is.

Have a nice day!

Is there a program for looking up the meanings/synonyms of words, like
penitent above? Would Collins or the American Heritage dictionaries
mentioned sometimes on the list be appropriate on the lx? Or are they
basically just spell checkers?

If I remember correctly you can use the dos drivers from Toshiba for
some of their other laptops, try something in the satellite series.
There is a Libretto web site with lots of helpful info but I can't
remember its address. Try www.cerfnet.com/~adorable, it is somewhere
around there. There is also a libretto mailing list with archives
that is quite active. You can find a link to it from the above site.

Actually a few years ago the treasury proposed getting rid of pennies
and there was such a negative response from the public that they
quickly dropped the whole idea. People won't bend over to pick up a
penny anymore but they still love the little buggers.

My best bets for smallest monitor and keyboard would be a private eye
and a chording keyboard. I have an old private eye, it is a rather
interesting little cube you wear like glasses and see a monochrome
(on mine red) image seemingly projected into space through one eye.
The cube itself is about 1 inch square. For more information on this
sort of thing do a search on wearable computers, some of the big
universities have some interesting projects, using off the shelf
components, already setup.

As far as the keyboard, chording keyboards are about the size of a
hockey puck and have only a few keys. Letters and such are "played"
by pressing combinations of keys together, hence the chord idea. The
same sites above should have some pointers to these as well.

You can use the 200LX / Accton card with a Windows network, but it
requires a special driver available only on the Japanese NIFTY-Serve
palmtop forum.  The "Card Battery Low" message is completely normal.

For more information, visit my site at http://www.hplx.net and read the
200LX Networking FAQ.  If you still have questions, feel free to e-mail
me.

LXers....Had my LX for 2 over years and it is always attached to my belt with a ripoff
case. Best computer I have EVER owned.  Although a newbee here I've been enjoying this
list yet see few questions about the HP calc capabilities but here goes....

I really like to use the solver capability of my 200 LX to aid my
inadequate math abilities and would like to come up with a better way to
quickly compute total seconds into  hours, minutes, seconds.

I work on equipment that requires and reports many settings in total seconds
till an event occurs and I always fumble trying to figure exactly how long that
interval is.

I currently have multiple equations that link variables but suspect that
the skill level of members on this listserv will quickly reveal a better way.
It would be slick if I could have one solver equation to do the whole thing.
Here's what I do now....likely crude to a real mathematician but it works.

first I have an equation that reads:

INT(secs / 3600) = int_hours

With this equation I enter the total seconds and the solver tells me how many whole
hours.

====================================
second I have an equation that reads:

INT((MOD(secs,3600))/60)=r_mins

With this equation the remainder of the first equation is extracted and divided by 60
to give me a whole number of remaining minutes

====================================
third I have an equation that reads:

MOD(MOD(secs,3600),60)=r_secs

With this equation any remaing seconds are extracted and reported.

It is important that the results appear as
hh hours   mm minutes    ss seconds.

A final answer of
11.26 hours
or
155.633 minutes
is not desired.

=====================================

TIA for any suggestions...

g'day,
Keith

Let's be realistic.  Slowing down the earth is way too much trouble.
Instead, let's just push it a little closer to the sun, so it will go
around faster and complete an orbit in exactly 360 days.

You see?  It's a good thing we have this list, so we can listen to the
difficult ideas and replace them with ones that are much more practical.

Actually slowing it down would be easier. What you do is you get
every self propelled wheeled vehicle in the world all facing the same
way at the same time and then they all accelerate. If they are all
facing east the speed of the planet goes down. Remember equal and
opposite reactions. So, who is going to coordinate this? Volunteers?

Both the Collins dictionary sold by Thaddeus and the American Heritage
Dictionary would work wonders for finding definitions like that.  They're
much more than spell checkers.  I haven't posted a review of either of
these dictionaries yet, but I will probably be doing so shortly.  I do
have a review of the Collins Multilingual Dictionary up however.

One version of the American Heritage Dictionary includes everything the
printed version has-- word for word the same, including pronunciation and
word history and everything.  The only trouble is that version takes up
14MB.

Is there a program for looking up the meanings/synonyms of words, like
penitent

<snip>

I purchased a DOS version of American Heritage Dictionary and loaded on my
flashcard. It is big (over 4 meg!) but it is incredibly extensive. A tad slow
on my standard 2mb 200LX but the reward is a very rich dictionary, thesaurus, anagram
application. If you want info on exactly what I ordered drop me email. I have the
original box and info at home and will dig it out.

I'm betting it will be easier to smack a comet or asteroid into the earth
and push us closer to the sun than to get a large group of people to work
together like that.  :)

I played with a Nino 312 today and it didn't seem to be as slow as
people have made it out to be. Can you compare it to your 200LX in
terms of access speeds for different software?

Well, um, how about using your HP2OOLX?  There are a number of ways to
interface a standard PC to the LX.  (This aside from the fact that the LX is a
standard PC, with the smallest possible keyboard and LCD monitor)

Cordially,

Steve,

Glad you're back OK!

I re-loaded Nettamer on my 200lx and it dials my ISP and does a great
job
with the PPP session. Downloaded email and news groups. THe only problem
with Nettamer is that it locks up when I disconnect from my ISP.

I have a 2190 Nokia GSM phone that plugs into the 700LX but alas, no GSM
here.

I have a 2160 analog/digital that I think is plug compatible with the
200lx
so I will see if I can get the 700lx to work with the 2160. I'm not sure
how
the Nokia data card will function as an analog modem, or if it will even
work.

But it is something else to play with for a while but sure wish I could
get
GP to work on it, life would be much easier...

Thanks for sharing that. I didn't know that other countries were lenient

If one lives in the US, the change just goes into a jar or something =
until
there's enough to wrap up and take to the bank and exchange for dollars. =
I
usually collect the pennies and nickles and keep a little change with me =
so
I can have exact change for purchases during the day.

Every once in a while there's a rumor about phasing out the penny, but =
then
Abe Lincoln wouldn't have a coin.
Anyhoo, this is really off topic, I just realized, though interesting.

Well I just consulted my American Heritage PCMIA Thesaurus
on the old 200LX and got:

adjective
Feeling or expressing sorrow for
misdeeds or sins;  repentant,
noun
One who is penitent

Technically, in order to get the Earth closer to the sun, we would have =
to
slow it down -orbital not rotational speed. If you actually push it =
towards
the sun, it would just make the orbit a little more or less elliptical.

The problem would be that our 200lx's would have all those Feb 29's.

Hi Liam

What are you paying for Lithiums?

I have gone to NIMH rechargeables.. Radio Shack  Tandy.. 10 Hours from a
charge overnight..

Installed Battlog to get the curve visible..

Buddy installed will allow you to change timeou..

In filer do Fn Plus or Fn Minus... Ten second changes..

Regards Russell

PS Just bought some 1450 Mah Sanyo NIMH rechargeables..I'll let you know how
they go on time..

I don't know how to program the solver, but this is easy to do in Lotus:

                A               B               C
1               Seconds         enter seconds in location B1
2
3               Hours           @INT(C3)        +B1/3600
4               Minutes         @INT(C4)        (C3-B3)*60
5               Seconds         (C4-B4)*60

So, your HH:MM:SS is read downward from B3 to B5.
This is made possible by the @INT function, which returns the integer
without rounding.  The help with Lotus is very complete, if terse.  There
is a short description of all @functions.

<Ponder> I think the MP2K had a lot going for it - some good ideas in
there. But it was canned pretty quick, and 5 (or 6) different companies

OTOH, I think Psion have also done great. They're got a better and
more efficient OS than DOS - but necessarily without the enormous
software base.

But this "Symbian" idea with Psion, Nokia, Ericsson and Motorola
sounds like it could really be the thing... The Bluetooth thing
is also quite interesting.

I've been using C-- on my palmtop now for about 2 years (first on the 95lx
:).  It's small, fast, and generates really tiny code.  If anyone has an
interest, I've developed some palmop-specific libraries (graphics,
sound,system manager) for C--.  I've also made a palmtop-specific,
visual-basic-like scripting langauge that I'll get around to realeasing one
day...

To answer thee these questions three:

1.  A PiloKey adapter is a little doohickey that is a DB-9 pin to
Newton-type DIN-8 serial adapter.  I got it from Landware with their
PalmPilot-to-Newton software, and it works with 320LX's serial cable.

2.  Yes, it is Newton Key.  I'm running it on a 320LX with the Win CE 2.0
upgrade ROM and it works quite well.  It puts a little icon thingy in the
system "tray" to control on/off and a few remappings.  Interestingly, there
is a tiny "lag" sometimes between a keypress and the character showing up in
Pocket Word, yet when using a Newton keyboard on the 200LX with Memo, there
is no lag.

3.  I use a Newton keyboard that was modified by Shier Systems to work with
the 200LX.  Basically they cut off the mini DIN-8 and put a HP proprietary
9-pin female plug as is on the connectivity pack cable, and then you run the
freeware Newton keyboard driver (ntkey2lx.exe, I think this is.)  As far as
I know, they'll modify your Newton keyboard or sell you a new one already
"fixed".

I guess you could say I like Newton keyboards.  If only I had liked the
Newton itself half as much ...

Let me know if I can be of further help.

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

With all the postings about problems with software lately, I just thought
I'd share my recent experiences with you all.
I have a Pentium machine with many gigabytes of storage. I obediently
bought Windows 95, and since I work in the industry, I know the importance
of installing all the Service Packs that Microsoft generously makes
available.
I mostly use my computer to write reports, do presentation graphics,
spreadsheets, contact databases, accounting and of course to communicate
with others on the net.
The software needed to to this, plus a few data files completely fills my
harddisk.
I no longer have Internet access because Internet Explorer has stopped
working, giving error messages when trying to follow links.
My Microsoft Internet Mail client crashes frequently - apparently because I
have a large in-box filled mainly with postings from this mailing list. <G>
My PC takes about 5 minutes to boot from cold.
Should I get a 8G harddisk, another 32MB of RAM, upgrade to Win98 and
install all my software anew? Or is there an alternative?

I also have several LX'es (a 100, a 200 and a 320) The one I use is a 200.
I write reports, do presentation slides (using a piece of CAD software)
surf the net and send mail, do calculations, run Matlab (finally got the
right version), pspice and Derive to do analysis of transfer functions and
design digital filters. I also use it to send faxes (rarely nowadays).
I have a 40MB Kingston flashcard, a Nokia GSM cellular modem, and a GPS
that I use in my car with the LXGPS software (brilliant!)
It turn on instantly, works two weeks on a set of AA's, rarely crashes, and
if it does it's easy to clean up the mess. It weighs 200 grams, I can do
useful work on a transatlantic flight, and print via a Black Box
serial->parallel converter to my battery powered HP 340 printer.

I think I saw a couple of 386 machines when I cleaned out my garage. I also
bought a Red Hat Linux 5.1 CD here the other day...

The moral?
Apple said it: Think different! The world is much to beatiful a place to be
locked in combat with Windows apps. Besides, you only get one shot at life,
and the countdown has already started...

I have Roget's Thesaurus (1.5Mb) as plain text (use LIST to read it) - a
freebie from Project Gutenberg www.promo.net/pg/.

I use doskey to access it with something like:
  doskey roget=3Dc:\bin\list.com c:\xxx\roget.txt /f$*
so I can write
  roget pertinent

(note that only the later versions of LIST support /f).

If you want to overdo it (or want it for your desktop), get Webster
(28Mb plain ASCII after conversion). It is in some homegrown, HTML-like
format. I made a conversion program in AWK but it loses a little bit of
text here and there, but I am happy with the result and use it a lot.
There is a HTML version as well (34Mb I think).

An analog phone line modem won't do. You'll need a GSM modem=
 (like the Nokia Data Card, see www.nokia.com). Check that the=
 card will run in 150 mA (the Nokia card works for me but it's=

I happen to live in Holland (more correctly: The Netherlands), but I never
experienced that things happen here ten minutes later. No offense though,
just curiosity about the idea or facts behind this reasening. :-)

In terms of speed, it isn't really such a straightforward thing.  Because
there is speed of initial and subsequent launches, as well as the speed of
actually getting to the information you need.  However, since launch speed
is measureable, and since I have identical items in the contact and
calendar files for both, here goes...  both are stock units with a 32MB
flash card installed (the HP is a 4MB, the Nino is the 312)

Action              Nino      HP200LX
Calendar start      2.5sec         3 sec
Contacts start      2.5 sec        2 sec

restarting the apps (actually, reactivating is probably the technically
correct term) took under a second for each, around .5 seconds.

One thing I found while doing this is that the speed difference is more
apparent than real, and I believe that it is based on the hourglass.  On
the Nino, you get a huge hourglass box that is the last thing to go away
(then the OS redraws that portion of the screen). On the HP200LX, the
hourglass is small and blends in, and goes away before the final redraw.
In fact, when re-activating an app, you don't see the hourglass at all on
the HP but you do on the Nino, and they both take about the same amount of
time.

All that said, I still can't decide what to do for myself ... I like the
Nino because I have become a 'pen' junkie since the Newton, and the ability
to directly sync to Lotus Notes.  However, there is no substitute for the
HP calculator with numeric keypad - except my HP48 :-) - and the PIM apps
are quite good.   Decisions, decisions - oh I know, I'll keep both!!!

Michael,

I played with a Nino 312 today and it didn't seem to be as slow as
people have made it out to be. Can you compare it to your 200LX in
terms of access speeds for different software?

Holland was just Holland when this quotation was uttered - most likely by Dr
Johnson, The Netherlands hadn't been decided on at that time.

And, IMHO, the logic behind his saying was the perception
that anyone's world slows down by *at least* ten minutes if they spend
long enough in the (in)famous coffeeshops of old Amsterdam!! <G>

BTW, I'm a huge fan of all things Dutch (Hup Holland!!), and found the three
months I stayed in your country during Euro '96 and afterwards to be the mos
enjoyable of my life - so far..... loved the Vondelpark, Heineken Brewery
etc.

Forgot all the language though, and I was getting quite good too - damn!

Try using the basic HP Calc app in "Math" mode (Ctrl-M or
Menu/Applications/Math.

- Press F10(more) till you see the HMS option on F5, then

1) enter the number of seconds divided by 3,600 (ie 56,913/3,600), press
        Enter, this gives 15.8092
2) Press F5(HMS) this converts the decimal time to hours/min/sec and gives
        15.4833 which is 15hrs, 48min, 33 sec.

Almost as easy as 123 (which I also like, but simple is better for me 8)

It would be nice to have this to skip having to use Transfile 200. Does

Hi folks-

Just finished putting together a new version of HP-Pygmy.  This now has
more int5Fh graphics stuff, more system status report/control words,
and some extensions to the kernel math and logic.

Let me know if you want to beta-test this.  I'm gonna send this to
Mitch for SUPER, but it oughta be tested by somebody besides yours
truly first  8-)

I THINK the bugs are out.  (After blowing the C: drive on my 100 once)
Be VERY careful with the new graphics words - they're a little more
complicated to use than the others.  There's a new text file that
explains the extensions.

Nah, pushing the earth closer to the sun is *way* easier. Just get everyone
in the world to go to Australia and stand on footstools. Then, in the
middle of the night, everybody jumps off at the same time.

Search the net for a DOS program called JORJ. It's probably on Simtel,
garbo and most of the usual DOS archives and FTP sites.

JORJ provides an input screen into which you type a  word, then returns a
definition. If it can't find your word, it comes back with a definition of
the word that most closely matches. It does a reasonably good job, and even
understands phonetic spellings of words.

Although the website doesn't mention the OS specifically, wouldn't this

to get DOS up and running on this thing, but surely that would be an easier
task to write than XT-CE!

Other specs are pretty much in line with a 200LX. The Psion is slightly
thinner and lighter, but has a lower-resolution screen (hmn!). All in all a
handsome little beast.

Just something to keep in mind, if HP ever stops making 200LXs, yours
breaks, and they become scarce in the second-hand market...

Opinions?

Hi,

I went to the web site and looked it over.  Unless I missed something, I
failed to notice any mention of what Operating System it uses.  Is this a
WinCE machine or is the OS proprietary ?

TIA,

The Psion 3 and the Siena use that chip (probably slower)
so they already have an OS for it. The Siena gets 80 hrs.
of life out of two AAA alkalines and is about half the volume
of the 200LX

The website is a bit vague isnt it, I couldnt find any mention of OS but
its probably the
latest version of EPOC16 since Psion / Symbian is in an alliance with NOKIA
and others
to use EPOC in phones and handhelds and ignoring WinCE.

Also it mentions the use of Solid State Disks (SSD's) which is an outdated
Psion standard, but they also refer to them as CF devices, so maybe theres
a CF card in the SSD or something. All in all a bit vague..

Yes, Dan is right. The Psion Series 3mx is
the successor of the Psion Series3c and it
comes with EPOC 16 operationg system
It is not half-VGA nor CGA, so it might be
hard to make a real XT emulator for it.

I'm using PC tools Deluxe ver R4.30, find it very useful for

Comments: To: sagall@ibm.net

WinFile is a windows program, so you can't run IT from DOS.  And you have
to be in Filer on the palmtop (with the serial port enabled), so you can't
be in DOS there either...

Why would you be "going to DOS" at all to use WinFile???

In Filer, try going to Communications->Remote Settings
  Assuming you're using a serial cable:  Make sure you've got the baud rate
set the same as WinFile, that you're using COM1, and that "Server Mode" is
enabled....

  For Baud rate, try out slow 9600 on both and work your way up.  When it
starts glitching, drop back one level.  (My setup works pretty well at
57600, but some people can't get over 9600...)

  Good luck..

I have moved up(?) to Win 98 and my old method of using Laplink to
communicate with my desktop machine (to upload data from database)
obviously won't work with the new, improved versions of Laplink 7.5.  I
have tried to use Winfile 200 but get no connection to my HP200LX.  The
documentation is spotty at best.  Any resources available for
troubleshooting this problem.  I can't see going to DOS for every file
transfer.

Thanks,

Pocket Quicken Connect. Intuit used to sell versions for both Windows and
Macintosh. I've used it sucessfully with Quicken 6 Deluxe on OS/2 Warp 4
and Quicken 98 Deluxe on Linux + WABI + Windows 3.1. Presumably it works
well under "real" Windows too ;-)

But Intuit does not sell it any more. They could probably still sell it
for $20 even without any support, and sell the thing through the Web with
no manufacturing or inventory costs, but they don't. How many of us use
Quicken on our desktops b/c of Pocket Quicken, and Intuit is abandoning
mobile devices? As far as I know, PQ Connect was only available from
Intuit directly, so chances of finding a used copy are probably slim.

Yup, my problems have been just that either I've alternated com ports
and not advised WinFile200 or I've changed the baud rate in Filer
for another application.

The NEC v30 chips are 186 compatibles. More precisely, they have the same
1MB addressable limit of the pre-286 chips. Same with the v20, v40, and v50.
The v53, however, has a 16MB address space, which would make it equivalent
to a 286.

There is a program called GPSCGA for the palmtop that will work with
any scale map in the form of a PCX file.  So, you could export a large
scale map of the entire world, calibrate it with lat/long, convert it
for use with GPSCGA and then hook the GPS unit to the palmtop to
display your location anywhere in earth.  It is a moving map program,
so you could make the map larger than the palmtop's screen and it will
scroll to wherever you are.

Then when you want more detail, like on a country or state level, just
make those maps as PCX files and then tell GPSCGA to use that new map.
 It is really not a zoom feature, but it would have the same effect.
I did this when I was traveling from New Jersey to Maryland for a
palmtop BBQ meeting.  I used the large scale map for most of the trip
and then when I was near my destination, I loaded the smaller scale
map which had more detail.

> Ability to graphically show you the cities closest to you, and a rough =

With GPSCGA, that would all depend on whay map you used (either
electronic or scanned paper) to make the PCX file.

Hi,
I've been using my 200LX for about a year now (bought it second hand but it
was in near-new condition), and it has become a very important fixture in
my life.  Yesterday, while working with it on the bus, I noticed that the
display contrast was fading - letters were getting fainter.  By shutting
the unit off and on, the text would get clearer again (more contrast).
This happened a couple of times then seemed to go away.  The batteries
are quite fresh, maybe a week old.  I'm worried that this may be an
indication of future problems with the LCD screen.  Has anyone experienced
this, and should I be worried about it?  Thanks.

With XCOPY, a slightly faster version of COPY, there is a /E switch
that claims to copy empty *subdirectories*.  Don't know if it will
copy empty *files* as well, but it's worth an experiment...

Robert,

Is it possible that the unit's temperature was higher than normal?

There seems to be a feature in the 200LX that reduces screen contrast at higher
temperatures.

This is usually evident while recharging batteries internally.  I also
experienced it a couple of weeks ago while working outdoors in Texas in 95 deg
temperatures.

When I use "grab" in POST/LX to grab an URL
I identify it by using the left arrow (once
it's highlighted in a text box) to move to
the end of the line.  Then I add an
identifyer before pressing ENTER.

Example:

I was reading the newsletter from Learn2.
The URL I grabbed was for an article called
something like "How to Get By in Spanish."
The text box contained
http://www.Learn2.com/06/0666/0666.html
I added
">Spanish</a>

Now my file FRESH.HTM contains two lines
that read
http://www.Learn2.com/06/0666/0666.html">Spanish</a>
which is very easy for me to edit to a useable link.

Hi folks-

Does anyone know where HDM v2.4 (mentioned in the current Palmtop Paper)
is available.  The PTP software index says it's on SUPER, but when I
checked the only version was v2.2   Also checked the Thaddeus Computing
site, and they only have v2.1

I found v2.3 at Harry Konstas' web page a few months ago, but his page
is now inaccessible with both UNIX Lynx and WWW/LX...

Any ideas??

TIA

Sat,  5 Sep 1998 09:47:01 -0400 (EDT)

Hello again-

I've been using a Sparcom Drive100 portable FDD for about 4 years.
This device has a rechargeable battery pack inside.  It's now refusing
to work even with the AC adaptor, reporting "Battery Low", then a DOS
general failure...

This is long since out of warranty, and I'd like to get inside, and
replace the battery pack.  Romoved the two screws on the bottom, but
the case is still firmly closed.  Anybody else have this thing, and
know how to get in??  Don't particularly want to resort to a crowbar!

TIA

-Peniel

Try using XCOPY.  It works on all files, including hidden, read-only, etc.

is there a way to copy a file that has 0 bytes?

in my .BAT file I am trying to copy "*.*" but if a file has 0 bytes
it doesn't get copied.

thanks

Subject:      Batteries Needed?
Content-Type: text

I have an odd question... if I run my palmtop from an AC adaptor, are
the AA batteries necessary?  I'm aware that in many consumer electronic
devices, the batteries are required, as they are used for their
capacitance even when working from an AC adaptor.  But I can't find
any such admonishion in the 200LX manual.

What I'm wanting to setup can be conceptualized as follows:  a long
term, permanent setup with a palmtop running from external power.
I wouldn't want to use actual batteries in the unit, even if they
are required, becuase they will eventually corrode and do nasty
things to the inside of the case.  If they are really needed from
an electronic perspective, I will look into packaging some capacitors
in an AA form factor.

Anyone know about (1) the need for the AA's when running from external
power, and (2) what about the backup battery?  Is is required for
normal operations, if there is a reliable source of primary power?

Thanks,

-Chris Lott

The DOS Copy command cannot copy files with 0 bytes;
I consider this a bug but it'll never be fixed.

You can use XCOPY to copy 0 length files.

The display will fade when the unit gets warm- usually from charging. The
next time it happens press and hold "on" then use the * and - keys to
adjust the contrast.

You can safely run the unit off of AC power, with no batteries or backup
battery installed, for long periods of time.  However, it may not be
practical to do so, because you'll get an endless stream of
extraordinarily irritating "MAIN BATTERY EXTREMELY LOW" and "BACKUP
BATTERY LOW" warnings.

It seems to me you could get by without the main AA's however you would
need to have the backup coin cell in, not just to protect against memory
loss due to a power fail but for other reasons also. You probably wouldn't
have to worry much about the coin cell corroding or bursting. Isn't that a
alkaline problem? Also, even if you have a constant mains, if you need to
keep a program running wouldn't you want to have a set of AA's in in case
of power fail? Rechargables like NiMH usually don't burst and you could
keep them trickle charging to keep them fully charged in case of a power
fail. Or keeep a set of lithiums in. (Just curious- what are you using it
for?)

I was looking at chips wondering if there was a 386 or 486 out there in the
same form factor as the hornet. The closest I could find was the VG330 made
by Vandem. To compare the two:

Hornet              VG330

186 cpu              186 cpu
CGA                  VGA (local bus)

SIR                   IRDA
1 serial port         1 serial port
4 banks ram            6 banks ram
cmos                   cmos

Anybody know of a 386 or 486 in this form factor? I couldn't find one!

Or maybe a support controller with the additional stuff without the cpu?
Couldn't find anything that didn't have a floppy controller and hard drive

You mean the POST.CFG was corrupted, not POST.ADR, right?

Do you have a c:\TMP subdirectory in your C: drive? HV will

Not so fast. If the files you were viewing were filling your
space, and you brought another, you'd get that error. After
the session is done, the files you were viewing were deleted,
so you were back to 140K on the drive!

I think you simply run out of space. After the session you see
no trace of that because the files you were viewing are gone
from the palmtop (they are temporary and are removed after the
session.)

If you get this on the first access, then your IndexDIR and
CacheDIR are NOT pointing to an EXISTING subdirectory. C:\TMP
MUST BE DEFINED and ON THE PALMTOP. HV will NOT define one for
you on te fly!

Yeah, I suspect C:\tmp is NOT defined.

Sure.

Hi

I'm told that unlike 200LX, a 100LX can't use a standard ATA Flash Ram cards
and "SanDisk" type cards must be used. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

If this is true, can anyone recomend a source for a ram card for a 100LX?

Sorry, I should have been more explicit in my last post.  I do have a
c:\tmp directory. I am also not downloading any files, so my file space
should not be changing during or after running HV (unless HV copies a
local file to another local file to view it.  But that would be kinda
silly). I downloaded the files once, and stored them in a directory.
When I am using HV, there is no connection to any other machine. All
files are local.

Directory does exist.  I also know that HV can find the directory
because after following steps 1-9, c:\tmp has .lab and .pag files in
it.  If I remove these files and do 1-9 again, they come back.

During this whole process, I still have ~140K free on my disk.

>

Even if HV does copy a local file to another local position during
viewing, this wouldn't affect my situation because the HTML files that
I am viewing are in the range of 8K to 20K.  So there would still be
plenty of room on the drive.

This problem has me completely puzzled.

Are you using the card on a 100LX? It works with no drivers on
the 200LX.

Hmmm... just a message, or something requiring operator intervention?
Do you or anyone know exactly what causes these error messages?
Presumably if the backup battery is absent, I would expect such an
error message.  But if the main batteries are absent, and I'm supplying
ample voltage/current from an expernal source, what triggers this
message?

John:

Thanks for the comments.  You suggest something I haven't considered - the
burst-iness of other chemistry batteries, such as Lithium or NiMH.  Perhaps
someone could assure/teach me that these batteries don't suffer from the
same degradation as older CZi and Alkaline styles...  Ditto for the button
style backup batteries...

You're right, I'd probably like to have batteries in place for riding
out any transients in the external power source, but not at the expense
of ruining the inside of the battery compartment.

I'm not ready to talk about my idea yet, it's still too wild and
impractical gem in the back of my mind right now...

Folks,

Do you have old DOS software you use on a regular basis?  If you use the
HP-dos-LX then I'm sure you do.

Take a little time in the coming months to contact the copyright owners by
snailmail or email and inquire about their products.

Suggest they either make the older dos items available again. Either as

1) Retail products.
2) Shareware
3) copyrighted Freeware.
4) Locked copyrighted "bonus Program" available to licence holders of
their current version.

Point out to them the example of Lotus and "Agenda 2.0" now available on
the offical Lotus ftp site.

Or the example of Corel which began selling WordPerfect 5.1+ again


If they say the don't have a copy of their own software any longer, offer
to make them a copy from your backup disks.  Explain that you would never
make copies for anyone else but since they are the owner of the
copyright...

Suggest they look over the super site and the Thaddeus site and see how
much interest their still in in older DOS programs.

Hi, folks:

I've collected some current consumption figures in OFF mode for my 200LX
and these are the results:

1- 2MB installed: 0.6 mA
2- 6MB (2MB mainboard + 4MB daughterboard with two 1MBx16 chips): 1.8mA
3- 34MB (2MB mainboard + 32MB daughterboard with four 16MBx4 chips): 12mA

(1) and (2) make sense and seem quite reasonable. (3) has been done with an
experimental 32MB board which has given some trouble that seem to be
corrected. In this case, the mA per MB seems to be the same than in (1) and
(2), but I think this is just too much, because with two 1100mAh batteries,
this means only about four days.

I'd like to know if some other owner of a 32MB upgraded machine has
measured the power consumption in OFF mode, so I can compare results.

Thanks. Nacho.

Seems your getting three times the current consumption you should be
getting on the 34 meg. Are you using really high drain chips?

I just had a 2X, 8 meg upgrade done on my 200LX and I have been a little
amazed at how quickly the batteries discharged even though I have not used it
that much. It seemed like it used to last forever. However, the additional
power is worth it.

Once upon a midnight dreary, fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
and waited for the disk to store,
Only this and nothing more.

Deep into the monitor peering, long I sat there wond'ring, fearing,
Doubting, while the disk kept churning, turning yet to churn some
more. "Save!" I said, "You cursed mother! Save my data from before!"
One thing did the phosphors answer, only this and nothing more, Just,
"Abort, Retry, Ignore?"

Was this some occult illusion? Some maniacal intrusion?
These were choices undesired, ones I'd never faced before.
Carefully, I weighed the choices as the disk made impish noises.
The cursor flashed, insistent, waiting, baiting me to type some more.
Clearly I must press a key, choosing one and nothing more, From
"Choose Abort, Retry, Ignore?"

With my fingers pale and trembling
Slowly toward the keyboard bending,
Longing for a happy ending, hoping all would be restored,
Praying for some guarantee
Timidly I pressed a key.
But on the screen there still persisted words appearing as before.
Ghastly grim they blinked and taunted, haunted, as my patience wore,
Saying "Abort, Retry, Ignore?"

I tried to catch the chips off-guard --
I pressed again, but twice as hard.
I pleaded with the cursed machine: I begged and cried and then I swore.
Now in desperation,
trying random combinations,
Still there came the incantation, just as senseless as before.
Cursor blinking, angrily winking, blinking nonsense as before.
Reading, "Abort, Retry, Ignore?"

There I sat, distraught, exhausted by my own machine accosted
Getting up I turned away and paced across the office floor.
And then I saw dreadful sight: a lightning bolt cut through the
night. A gasp of horror overtook me, shook me to my core. The
lightning zapped my previous data, lost and gone forevermore. Not
even, "Abort, Retry, Ignore?"

To this day I do not know
The place to which lost data goes.
What demonic nether world is wrought where data will be stored,
Beyond the reach of mortal souls, beyond the ether, into black holes?
But sure as there's C, Pascal, Lotus, Ashton-Tate and more, You will
one day be left to wander, lost on some Plutonian shore,
Pleading, "Abort, Retry, Ignore?"

Battery warnings are handled by the INT06 Bios Hook interrupt.
This interrupt is called at several locations in the BIOS and
provides you with information about the battery status and many
other things. (see SDK page 3-27)

You may chain into this interrupt and monitor what's going on.
In addition, you may influence the systems response by setting
a 'handled' flag when returning from the interrupt. I used this
feature in my LXPRO battery monitoring program to allow the
user to suppress the 'main battery low' warning.

Why don't you try commenting out the indexdir and cache dir and try using
the defaults and see if it works. Is your root dir defined?

TODDY vs WCED - a brief battle of filename and history completion.
-------------

TODDY and WCED may be seen as super-DOSKEYs:

They have history completion, which is when you type the first few
characters of a command you issued recently, and the command history is
searched for that command and it is completed for you. If there is more
than one match, they are displayed sequentially. Really neat.

The history search is circular in WCED (wced -c), but when you get to
the end of the history in TODDY, it does not wrap-around.  Curiously,
*stepping* through the history does wrap in TODDY. Perhaps there is a
switch somewhere...? There is no reason to not wrap.

The Filename completion in TODDY acts just like History completion, as
it should: each successive press of the search key brings up successive
matches. In WCED (and unix tcsh), multiple matches cause them to be listed.
I prefer TODDY.

When matching directories in TODDY (switch to do this; /NT10), a
matching directory gets a trailing '/'; and unfortunately DOS doesn't
like this:
        cd dir\           <- doesn't work!
TODDY provides the solution of deleting the '\' (switches again), so it
looks like this:
        cd dir            <- works now!
But I prefer the WCED solution, which *displays* the trailing '\',
but doesn't pass it to DOS (wced -t). This enables you to see which are
directories, and which are filenames. It is also how tcsh works.

WCED also has filename lookup for the PATH as well as the current
directory. I don't use it often, but it is useful when I do.

There was an annoying error in the docs for TODDY: I cleverly tried to
use the key assignments they suggested directly instead of typing them
all in again; but they had used the wrong names for some of the
commands!!  (Grrrr)

But TODDY does seem to be very comprehensive: you can redefine it to
do whatever you want.


WCED should adopt TODDY's idea of successive filename completion; and
TODDY should have wraparound in both filename and history completion
(there is *no* advantage in not having it). I'd also like TODDY to
use WCED's approach to the '\' trailing directories.

There! WCED wins... for now...

That was my original set up and I encountered the same problem.  That's
one reason why I'm so baffled about this.  No matter what I change in
the config files, I always get the error.

Newton message pads had the unique ability, with software, to monitor
and log battery voltage AND current draw so that the user had a good
idea of which modems, flash cards, etc. were high on battery
consumption.

Any chance of the LX doing this with the "right" software package?

I've decided to start using my HP 200LX seriously from the time I start
college next month and need some advice on configuring it. I also have a HP
Omnibook 3000 which I plan to use as my main computer. I hope to buy
Ethernet and Modem cards that both systems can share. A combined LAN/WAN
card seems to be out because to power considerations.

The only Ethernet cards that the FAQ says word are the Accton and Silicom
ones. Would they be fine for my laptop too? They're old models, that's my
worry.

For a modem card, would 56K modems be usable in the HPLX? Assumably at a
quarter of the max speed. Or would they draw too much power? The
alternative would be to get an external modem that both my systems can
share. Is there a good battery powered pocket modem around? Incidentally
does anyone have any experience with using US style telephone sockets in
the UK? I believe a simple adaptor would do but have been told rewiring may
be needed.

I will be getting a Flash RAM card as well. Has anyone used the Simple
Technology cards?

Finally, has anyone set up an IR connection between the Omnibook and a
HPLX? Haven't been able to find an account of how to do this.

Thanks, and apologies if the info I seek resides somewhere on the web.
Given a URL, I'll sheepishly withdraw :)

They should work fine.  I've used my Accton card (and the Silicom card,
for that matter) in both the palmtop and my Windows 95/98 machine.  I'd
recommend you get the Accton EN2216-1 card.  Go to www.computeresp.com and
search for EN2216-1.  Last time I did that I think that they showed
www.hardwarestreet.com as having the best price... it was around $60.

It would probably draw too much power, although I'm not sure.  The Simple
Technologies 33.6 Communicator with SimpleJack works very well; mine draws
about 125ma.  But I'm not sure about their 56K version. A PCMCIA modem
will probably run faster than an external modem, especially on a
double-speed palmtop.

> I will be getting a Flash RAM card as well. Has anyone used the Simple

Get a Simple Tech card.  They're the fastest, cheapest, and lowest-power
cards I've seen.  Plus they have a five-year warranty.  Contact Bernie
Torbik at Shore Systems (www.shoresystems.net) and he can get you a very
good price.  I bought my 160MB Simple Tech card from him and have been
completely satisfied.

Hmm, I haven't tried plugging my Accton card into my laptop yet (usually
it has a 3Com in it).  Maybe someone else has?

Too power hungry.  Most 14.4k work, and so does the Simple Tech 33.6
(which also has available a cellular cable that works with my Ericcson
DF388!)

Problem with using an external modem is that it will talk through the
horrible 8250 uart in the Hornet chip.  Most PCMCIA modems have 16550
uarts with fifos.

They work great, just a simple adapter.  I always use my friends when I'm
over there.  Well, I used to - now I use my Accton card on his Ethernet
and simply go through his IPRoute NAT box.

Hi group -

I have had a very busy summer with vacation and job change and have
*many* digests to read.  I hope that my question has not been answered
recently.

I have installed QFAX v1.09 on my 200lx and find it quite useful.
However, faxed files are received 1.5 or double spaced regardless of the
setting in the qfax.cfg file.  I have written to the author without
response.

Also, a memo file I recently printed directly from my 200lx was also 1.5
or double spaced when printed.

Is there a setting in the palmtop (or Buddy) that I am overlooking?

Should. (Don't know for sure tho)

The Viking 56k will work. It draws about 144 mA which is pretty close to
the 150 mA limit. Their 33.6 will work too. The lowest power one is the
Simple Tech 33.6 which uses about 125 mA. 33.6 is about the fastest that is
really practical in the 200LX.

>The

There are but the uart in the 200LX is slow. You won't get near the speed
as you will with a pcmcia modem. Of course it is the least draining of the
batteries if you are running on battery power.

I think with the right adapter you won't need to rewire. Radio SHolk sells

Sure. I have using laplink remote on an OB 600C. Using LL it's pretty much

Hello Raf,

I have the Mobile Gear, but it is much bigger
than a 200LX. (Looks like a NEC's Windoes CE
machine) It is only sold in Japan and you have
to hack to use MS-DOS or install Pocket BSD.
It's CPU is not 486SX but 486GX.

Regards,
Yujin

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried everything except a reinstall and
no luck.  I'm getting a 32MB upgrade in the next couple weeks.  When
that's done, I'll reinstall it and try again.  If that doesn't work,
I'll see about that older version.

If you can read Japanese, then there are a bunch of good links about the NEC
Mobile Gear at  <http://www.space.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~fuji/mg/link.html>
http://www.space.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~fuji/mg/link.html . Otherwise, you can at

Hi All (and Bruce Martin),

Sorry for the long delay on this one.

Bruce Martin wrote on 27 August 1998:-

< For those who do not know of this very useful FILER.INI trick, here
is the < scoop from Section 15 of the HP200LX FAQ at
<http://www.hplx.net/faq.html>

First up, although I said earlier that this site was not responding,
HP200LX FAQ at <http://www.hplx.net/faq.html> has become available
once more; must have been a temporary glitch.  Sorry for causing any
concern.

Secondly, I have checked out the above tip but there is no further
information other than as given earlier by Bruce:-

< Q. How can I get the filer to run a program based on a file's type?

<  Create the file c:\_dat\filer.ini, containing file extensions and <
 commands to run, as shown in this example:

<          Launcher
<          ICN=D:\BIN\ICN200.EXE %
<          ZIP=A:\BIN\PKUNZIP.EXE %

<  When you select a file and press ENTER, if the selected file has
the <  extension ".ICN" the icon editor on drive D: is started and the
file name <  (the `%' is replaced by the name of the selected file) is
given as <  argument. If the selected file has the extension ".ZIP" it
is <  automatically unzipped (assuming PKUNZIP lives on a:\bin).

Apparently this only works on the 200LX, but I could not get it to
work on mine, even after someone pointed out that "Launcher" has to
be included just like that as the first line.  Eventually I noticed
that in line 2 of the above example the "lx" part of the icon editor
had been omitted.  I had not got past trying to display an icon from
the FILER and so had assumed that the whole programme was
problematical.  Certainly once the missing "lx" is added the programme
does indeed display any icon file that is loaded.  However, I also
thought that one had to have a programme like FILINI or PNS200
installed as well, in order to use the FILER in this way for files
with other extensions, or else one had to use BUDDY.  Unless I am
mistaken, there are no other built-in commands that can be accessed to
activate files with other extensions, such as .doc.

So, back to the drawingboard.

I decided to try installing PNS200, available on one of the HP
Powerdisks.  Having transferred the files to the A: drive of my 200LX,
I went for a quick test and added only one extra line to my FILER.INI
file:-

  DOC=A:\HPDISKS\PNS200\PNS200.EXE %

When then attempting to open a .doc file in the FILER I was first
prompted to open it or to list it.  If you select "open", you get the
message that the file ... cannot be found.  Going back over the
readme.doc I found out that certain other files have to be downloaded
from other sites in order to perform this operation.  It is not
therefore a simple business and I have yet to locate these files.

I tried, only to be advised that the file does not exist or is
read-protected.

However, I got two similar references from a search which advised that
ASKENV.EXE was written by Prof. Timo Salmi of Vaasa, Finland.  It
returns as an environmental variable a complete line of *whatever* is
typed to the screen from the keyboard.

It certainly sounds useful re my XINE problem and worth checking out
if it can be located (?).

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

Hello to all you Y2K-phobics,

There has been so much recently said on this topic that I thought that
some of you might appreciate sharing an unusual and more light-hearted
slant on the date situation for a change, taken from a message I have
just sent to our local  group.

Every Thursday night is late-night shopping in the Adelaide suburbs
and so I often arrive for the weekly battle on my way home from the
City, clutching the list that my wife has painstakingly drawn up.
Inevitably my briefcase is in the car and inevitably it contains my HP
Palmtop, still with the unfinished Master Shopping List template in
Lotus 1-2-3...

The local greengrocer (whom I know well) recently had a problem one
Thursday night and said that it would be great if someone could
magically solve it on a computer.  He was open-mouthed when I
disappeared outside to the car and reappeared with my Palmtop and
solved his relatively simple date calculation problem.  In fact, he
was so impressed that, had I wished, I could have sold him my Palmtop
on the spot!

He then said that our mutual friend Donald could correctly tell you
the day of the week for any date, even going right back to my birthday
(which made me wince to realise how old the greengrocer thought I must
be!).  So it was arranged that we would have a challenge between my
Palmtop and Donald, though we didn't tell Donald.

Now, Donald is well-known around the local shops.  He is big, happy,
with a huge smile and loud voice and in a limited way very talkative.
You see, Donald is classed as mentally impaired.  He approaches you
such a way that there is no escape and asks your name and sometimes
your birthday, his questions being repeated for all to hear.  He has
at last managed to remember my name and my birthday -- and so have all
the other shoppers.  As you can imagine, conversation is difficult
with Donald.

Now, to the point.  On the evening in question, the greengrocer
engaged Donald in conversation until I arrived.  Donald readily agreed
to tell us the day of the week for our birthdays, which I had already
checked out on the Palmtop, of course.  With barely a moment's
hesitation he produced the correct days.  We tried him with more dates
and always he got it right straight away.  Then I tried him with the
29th February, 2000.  He got that right, too (better than some
computers), and agreed that it was a leap year, while 1900 was not.
The trouble was that he could not tell us how he did it.

I was so intrigued that I asked him again for my birthdate, not this
century, but last century.  After a very slight pause, he came up with
an answer, one day out.  This struck me as odd, because if you know a
date for one century, it is not too difficult to get it for the
previous or next century.  The weekday advances by one every
successive year and two on a leap year.  Therefore it advances by 5
every 4 years, or 125 in 100 years if the turn of the century is a
leap year.  Hence, if the weekday of my birth is Wednesday this
century, it will be Tuesday next century (seemingly going back one day
of the week).  Going back in time, it would be Thursday +1 = Friday
last century, since 1900 was not a leap year.  It would be Sunday in
the 18th Century and Tuesday in the 17th Century.

When I asked Donald what day my birthday fell on two centuries back,
he was two days out and three days out for three centuries back, and
yet he knew that there was no February 29th in 1900!

The other strange thing is that when you ask Donald how many days
there are in an ordinary year, he really doesn't understand the
question and repeats it.  Even if you try to help by saying 7 days in
a week and 52 weeks in a year or even 12 months in a year, it has no
effect.  So how does he do it?

I have tried repeatedly to find out by asking him how he does it and
only recently have I begun to realise the most likely explanation,
since I am now getting consistent answers to certain key questions.
However, I shall let you think about it a little longer and give you
my thoughts on it next message.

BTW, Donald does not have a Palmtop, for those of you who thought you
had the short answer.

For some time, now, I've sadly mused,
        how newsgroup posts become confused.

One sends; then waits in expectation,
        in nascent hope, and trepidation.
For friendly posting in reply,
        a thought, a nod, a smile, a sigh.

Instead, flow topics wide afield,
        from what the parent post revealed.
And, sadly, when they rock and roll,
        'tis not for her, their bell doth toll.

Why won't they to their mother cling?
        Their voices, won't her lyrics sing?

Odd word or phrase she may have spoken,
        in passing, really, just a token.
They seize like tape upon the duct,
        and then her vision deconstruct.

Thus, in diasporic disarray,
        the rebel posts go their own way.
Until the thread bears no relation,
        to the author's inspiration.

I just went thru this exercise, too. I wound up with  15 MBYTE IBM/Sandisk card.   It works with the built in sundisk drivers.

I have yet to install Stacker, but suspect it will also work. The dealer gave me 15 business days to return it with no questions.

Price was $119 at Disk Drive Depot in Sunnyvale, CA.

Good luck,  Tony

Comments: To: Bruce Martin <Bruce_Martin@MANULIFE.COM>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT

Hi again, Bruce et al.,

This is a belated "thankyou" for your time and trouble regarding my
XINE problem.  We appear to be getting slowly closer to the solution.
I have limited access to e-mail at the moment and had already drafted
the forerunner of this reply ready to be sent last week but could not
get access to the system.  In the meantime Pierre Vignacq has posted
details of his compression batch programme so I have deleted certain
comments to avoid repetition.

As you would have seen from another message of mine, I have found out
why I couldn't get your FILER.INI tip to work with the icon editor,
Bruce; but I have still to get the additional file(s) which require to
be loaded in order to be able to directly open a document in MEMO from
the FILER.  However, this may not be a problem with our immediate
concern in XINE in the way that I am trying to use it in conjunction
with Pierre's PRESS.BAT programme.

His programme (which I call "X") is startly simply by entering PRESS
followed by the first part of the name of the file to be compressed or
decompressed, ie. no extension is required.  Assuming that this name
has been used with only one extension, it is substituted for %1 with
the appropriate extension and the programme jumps to the corresponding
label where XINE is now invoked.

I have arranged it so that when XINE terminates, the original file is
automatically deleted to save time and memory.  The beauty of this
arrangement is that it can be run back in the opposite direction since
XINE automatically recognises compressed or uncompressed files and
supplies the appropriate extension.

However, my problem is not so much starting PRESS.BAT or XINE in the
FILER (though it could be useful to have that facility as you
suggest), but having to manually enter the filename after typing
"PRESS" (or in my case "X") at the DOS prompt, rather than being able
to paste it in.  I would like to be able to highlight the file to be
compressed/decompressed in the FILER and then start a macro that would
store the file name in the clipboard, start PRESS.BAT in DOS and then
paste in the filename after  "PRESS" is displayed to start XINE.  The
rest would automatically follow.

I have worked out a macro for getting the filename (without or without
extension) into the clipboard from the FILER.  This can be used by the
macro to then create a line in a text file:-

  PRESS <filename> (without extension)

This can be saved by the same macro as another batch file, say XX.BAT,
which can be started in the FILER and which starts PRESS.BAT, which in
turn starts XINE.  I have arranged PRESS.BAT not only to delete the
original file once compressed/decompressed but also to delete XX.BAT,
ready for re-creation when the macro is used again.

Although virtually all of this can be made to work via a macro or
maybe two, it becomes messy and cumbersome, particularly if you have
files in various directories that you wish to compress/decompress.
Being able to paste in a filename where required in DOS would save a
lot of trouble.

I have not had time to digest and try your suggestions on GETARG,
Chris Nelson and Whay Lee, but I am determined to work out an
efficient solution to the problem.

Before leaving this problem, can someone tell me if some of the
programmes mentioned re command-line editing (such as TODDY),  could
solve my problem by allowing direct pasting from the CLIPBOARD to the
command line without invoking a line jump and the appearance of the
cursor?  I have briefly looked at some of them but they seem to fall
short of doing what I want.

Thanks to all of you, meantime.

Hey! You asked. (:-)

On the old List there was talk of a mini trackball for use on the
palmtop. I think Big Al Kind has one or was talking about getting one.

The Palmtop Bios does not supply you with a current draw value
and you cannot derive it from the voltage (new batteries show
the same voltage for several hours of use)

I have a 2x 32meg and two recent problems.

1. Since I installed Software Carousel from Thaddeus, there
seems to be a conflict with SC and the Newton Keyboard
driver. The keyboard driver is turned on with ctl-alt-comma wich
works OK, but to turn off, (ctl-alt-period) is seen as
ctl-period which brings up SC menu instead. Is there a way to
change the "hot keys" for either of these?

2. I have installed BGFax which works well sending faxes,
however I have not been able to get my Champion modem to
receive. The modem answers the call, but does not make the
connection with the incoming fax. Any suggestions for how to
fix this? Perhaps something in the config file for BGFax? My
need to receive faxes on my palmtop is really limited but it
would be nice to have it available.

Thanks

Andy.

How about building an external battery pack that would keep the
batteries from leaking inside the system?

Even better yet, how about an external AC adapter? Keeps the batteries from
leaking either inside or outside.

However, this was exactly the question: can you feed the 200LX externally
without having batteries inside?

Personally, I think it is possible, but one should take the following
precautions:

1) Instead of the batteries, connect a zener diode of 2.6 volts /1 Watt
accross the battery terminals, and make sure the palmtop is switched to
"charging" and remains "charging" forever. This keeps 2.6 volts on the
battery terminals, which should satisfy all onboard voltage checks.

2) "Normal" powersupplies for computers have a capacitor to take over
during small glitches in the mains. A small AC adapter doesn't have them,
and neither does the 200LX. To prevent the system from going into backup
mode during an almost invisible glitch, one should add a large capacitor to
the adapter. It is also possible to put this capacitor over the battery
terminals, together with the zenerdiode. Then this capacitor acts as a
small battery, and will be charged by the palmtop hardware. (The zener is
still necessary because a capacitor has no end-voltage, and will happily go
up in voltage as far as the charging hardware can provide. The zener limits
the voltage to 2.6 volts.).

Another puzzle of nature: in a large government intitution, there are
millions dollars worth of computer equipment. Beautiful HP5 printers
are everywhere. But it seems I am the only one using IR printing.
Secreatries always think that I printed from one of the departmental
workstations, and that I push their printer away from the desk edge in
some misguided decorating effort. No one knows what those little black
squares on printer's front panel are for. They line printers up to the
edge of the desk, to maximize the space behind the printer.

So, where's the DOS question? Well, here it is:

Is there a command in DOS that would concatenate text files one to
another? I want to be print one big file, containing many small
reports, instead of each report individually.

COPY FNM1.TXT+FNM2.TXT+FNM3.TXT NEWFIL.TXT

would probably do what you want (there can be as many files as you
want in the ...+...+...+xxx ).

You might want to check `switches' to make sure you are copying in
binary or copying in ASCII (COPY can do either). You can also
use `destination' names like LPT or PRN in lots of circumstances to
avoid creating an intermediate file.

Is the Champion modem quite old, advertised years ago in THE HP PALMTOP

Frans;
A short stupid question.
Why is batt leakage a concern?

If not using the LX for a reasonable
duration (one+ months) Take batts out.
Otherwise batts are replaced long
before they'd leak wouldn't they?

Batts wouldn't normally leak in less
than six+ months, would they?

Batt packs and external accessories
defeat the portability of the small
unit, which is a major reason to have it.

QMan speaks the truth! I have a "Thumbelina" TracBall which I think
would be "P.C." for LX use. I intend to load Win 3.0 up in the next few
days (still have 2 weeks vacation left so I can get to all these little

Tony,

As a by the way,  I just saw a 40Meg card at Office Depot for $199.   Since
you have 15 days, you might consider whether an extra 25Meg is worth $70 price
increase.  You are paying  $7.93 per Meg.   The 40Meg card prices out at $4.98
per Meg.  Or, the marginal cost of the additional 25Meg is $3.20 per meg.

As I note that you are going to use Stacker, I assume you need the extra
space.  Stacker 4.0 will probably give you 30 Meg, or a little more, but that
is only meaningful for ASCII and similar highly compressable files.  Programs
will compress a lot less.  Pre-compacted data may not compress at all.  As an
example, the On Line Bible files fill just as much actual space on a Stack'd
card as they do on an uncompressed one.  (That is, if you had enough verions,
references, etc., to fill the 15 Meg and then Stack'd it to 32, you would
still fill the disk.)  There is also a speed and memory-usage pentalty to pay.

I am not knocking Stacker.  I used it with great satisfaction for a couple of
years until cards got bigger & cheeper.  (Upgrading my Times2Tech mod to 32
Meg also eased the need for Stacker.)

I hope you have an Office Depot close by!

You can also get mail-order cards for even less-- I see Marcan
(advertisers on palmtop.net) have 40MB cards, which I believe are the
Simple Tech cards, for only $159 now.  Wow!z

A friend of mine who used to own a 100LX with a pretty big flashcard a few
years ago was playing with my 200LX over the weekend, wishing his hasn't grown
legs at his workplace.  He noticed I was using DOSShell and told me he thought
he had a disk with something that worked better on it, and after some
rummaging produced his backup disk of Software Carousel verion 6.0!

He couldn't find the original disk or the docs :(, but he's got a 320LX now
and doesn't plan on owning another 200LX.  (I tried to convince him, but he
says WinCE works fine for him and syncs better...  Bah.. :)  So he gave me the
disk, and I'm assuming since he doesn't plan on owning another 200LX he also
has given me his license?

We installed it on my palmtop and played around with it, got it going..  I've
tinkered quite a bit with it today and I think I have it pretty well figured
out, but I'm having a strange problem.

SMMX can utilize a keystuffer to autoload 1-2-3 datafiles, and it suggests
that "exkey -k{F6}{123}{Wait}{Menu}fr$P$f.wk1{Enter}" should work, and it
always has before, but now 123 fires up and that's the end of it.  I guess SC
is eating the EXKey buffer stuffing, how do I get around this?  I tried making
EXKey resident (and as a matter of fact is already is, I have "EXKey
{More}={Alt+More}" (to run SMMX with the &... key) in my SC startup for my
SysMgr session.  I also tried putting back into the Autoexec.BAT, didn't seem
to help.  EXKey is working in the key swapping respect, &... does load SMMX
rather than the normal More GUI.

KeyStuff doesn't seem to be able to wait, so 123 doesn't get the full command
that it's sending, usually wind up with frspread.wk1 in A1.

Hopefully that's easily fixed...  Anyone know of any tips and tricks for SC?
I thought I found a page a while back that had some cool ideas for use with
SC, but I can't find it now.

I hope my friend finds the manual, be nice to have.. :(

Hi...

My 200lx was exposed to rain a few weeks ago, and I still haven't completely
figured out what's wrong with it now. It's an old 1MB LX + ACE 5 MB flash mem.

I'll describe the symptoms and hope someone of you is able to give some hints
about possible cures...

It is still working, actually. It obviously draws a lot more current then
before the rain came. With freshly charged NiCads and backup cell, it takes
about 24h until the NiCad voltage is below 2.4 V. 8h later, it switches to
safety mode (don't know if that's the correct english term cause mine is a
german model, but you probably know what I mean) and can't be powered on
without an AC adaptor connected. Until then, the backup battery voltage just
dropped from 3.11 to 3.08 V, but if I leave it without AC, uncharged, the
backup battery quickly discharges. Few days later (maybe just one), it tells
me about 1,5 V for both main and backup battery, and all RAM contents are lost
then. And, I didn't mention... this is in power-down mode. I had the
the display on for only a few seconds during the whole test.

Even worse, the flash card is recognized only with full main batteries. After
the main batteries have been discharged (or without main batteries), I can't
turn on the whole thing with the flash card inserted, not even with AC adaptor
attached.
Not even a beep occurs when I press the On key, just a quiet noise from the
place where the AC input is located. I have to remove the flash card, charge
the batteries, and it works again. The problem of high current consumption
remains without the flash card.

I checked all bigger capacitors on the board with a simple (low voltage) Ohm
meter but did not find any short circuit.

Any further ideas what I could do to find out what's going on? Oscilloscope
and other measuring instruments are available.

Is there some way to check whether the display causes the trouble? Does the
hp work with detached display unit, so I could run the same experiment as
above (check the battery voltage difference over time) without display?
Same for the keyboard unit... Although I know how to open the main unit and
detach display and keyboard, I don't know whether it is possible to open
and inspect the display and keyboard part. Would it be a good idea to wash
these parts in distilled water - if, how?

Thanks for any hints and ideas

bibi,
Kolja

Pete,

I just got a 700LX also. Here in the US you can use the 2190 Nokia which
is the US version of the 2110. However, the 2190, like the 2110, is a
GSM phone.

I have a 2160 which I believe is identical to both phones. It is digital
and analog. I am hoping to be able to use the analog mode with my 700lx.

I need answers to the following though before I go any farther.

Is the 2160 pin compatible with the 2110/2190?

How will the Nokia data card built in to the 700LX act on an analog
connection? MY local cell one said they believed it may have a fall back
to analog if it can't run GSM but I have no confirmation.

I was hoping to run Goin' Postal to get my email but the PPP drivers and
my ISP don't shake hands. Nettamer works OK but I really want GP.

So there you have my 2 weeks experience with the 700LX, a really
wonderful machine. I just wish HP can carried this idea into the US.
Nokia did go ahead with this idea in the Nokia 9000 communicator phone.

Let me know what you find out, maybe we can get something new going with
this neat package.

OBTW, If anyone has a used 600mah slimline battery for the Nokia 21xx
series phones I need one.

Has anyone upgraded their HP200LX with the Marcan MDN-200LX/4 4MB memory
upgrade?

If so what was your experience re:

1. Ease of installation - if soldering is not required.

2. Any subsequent operational problems.

3. Effect on battery life.

Although only a 4MB upgrade, at about US$59, this may be cost effective and
affordable for some of us.

I just got my 200LX from Thaddeus for an upgrade from 32MB to 64MB.  Once I
got it I couldn't find any difference before, still 32MB on the (swapped) C
drive, and same 2MB on the (swapped) F drive.

Have I missed something here ?

I am in Hong Kong and therefore not very convenient to call upon Thaddeus,
although overnight I tried a few times, only to be greeted by a telephone
voice message.

Hi Craig

I had no real problems opening the case and installing the upgrade, if
you have to solder a connection in, you need to be comfortable with
*small scale* soldering, but just snapping the memory board in is no
problem.
OTH the board I got from Marcan was apparently bad, tried to contact
them, no reply, so I just chalked that up to experience. I got a board
from T2T that worked perfectly.
I haven't noticed a drastic reduction in battery life, but I put the 2X
crystal in at the same time, so your experience may be different.
If you do install an upgrade, David Sargeant(sp?) has instructions on
his website about opening the case, it may help to read his page for a
slightly different take on the process in addition to the instructions
that come with the board.
I also highly recommend the speed upgrade, you'll be amazed at the
difference.

Good luck,

Paul

In case anybody needs to clean their LX screen and there are no screen
wipes handy here's a little trick I used late at night when the stores were
closed. I damped a piece of charmin toilet paper (you know the really soft
stuff) with a little water and used it to clean my really dirty LX screen.
Then I used a dry piece to make sure it was dry. Worked like a charm- no
streaks or lint and it got it so clean it looked brand new. Of course,
can't guarentee the anti static abilities.

Subject:      BBS?

This is, perhaps, a bit off the wall but has anyone ever run a BBS on
their 100/200lx?

I'm working on a project involving the creation of a BBS and I was
curious if any "old-timers" had pointers to super-small, low-resource but
highly functional BBS software (freeware?).

I'd need something with messaging and bulletin handling as well as X/Y/Z
and Kermit modem transfers.  It would need to work on either the 200lx or
something similar hardware-wise.  Multiple layers of security including
call-back would be nice as well.  Caller-ID functionality would be a
dream.

Way back when, I remember my uncle logging into a C64 BBS with a 300bps
modem so I know the capability exists.  Finding the tools on the other
hand . . .

Suggestions, warnings, and tutorials from seasoned SYSOPS appreciated.

Larry Zimmerman

Pity us poor saps who met the Internet before we had the chance to try
out our computer legs on a BBS.

If I'm not mistaken Avi had one up and running during/after the
earthquake in CA. I also remember reading an article in the PTP about a
gentleman who ran a BBS on his LX. There's a lot of BBS software on
Simtel that you may want to take a loot at.

Hehehe I'm not old (30 years last week) but I definately remember the
days before the net. My first 'puter was a TRS80 Model I Level I that I
upgraded to Level II and made my own expansion board and upgraded the
RAM. I didn't know what a hard drive was, all I had was a tape drive,
which at the time seemed fast :) Sometimes I drag my Timex Sinclair out
of the closet and play with it for nostalgia reasons. I just wish I still
had my Model I. By the way, when I had my TRS Model 100, I remember when
you turned it on, it came up with a little copyright screen speaking of
Microsoft BASIC, if I recall correctly that was Bill's first step into
making his billions.

Hmm, I'm 37 and don't remember the days before the net.  When I was
16 (which would put you at about 9) I was playing on the Arpanet at
300 baud! (well, till the phones got noisy around 5pm, then I dropped
to 110 baud!) :-)

In my unit I needed to remove the original 1MB memory card and replace it
with the new 4MB. This gave me 1MB on the motherboard and 4MB additional for
a total of 5MB. No soldering needed at all. The socket was there. Check
Marcan's web site (I think it was their site) for the serial # lookup table
to help determine if you will need to solder in a new connector.

As far as I can tell, absolutely none! But then again I upgraded to NiMH
batteries shortly after adding the 4MB. But before that I didn't notice any
change in battery life.

I definitely agree! This is the reason why I chose the upgrade.

My friend who lived next door to me and I actually networked our 'Trash
80's' using the audio out and mic input jacks on our tape drives. We used a
BASIC program that functioned like 'talk' on a UNIX box. A couple of years
later I had another friend who had a Vic20, a 300bps modem and a Compuserve
account, that was way cool. I really miss the old BBS days, I made a lot of
friends with the other 'geeks' in the area and am still friends with many of
them. To the best of my knowledge there are only 2 BBS's left in Birmingham,
and yes I still call them both <g>.

I just got a Logitech mini trackball but it has a PS2 connector.  I have
the PS2(F) to DB9(F) adapter, but I don't know which of the adapters
from the Connectivity Pack to use with it.  Can you help?  I have one
marked 5181-6639, is that correct?

I don't believe I ever tried but did use something called Minihost which
worked quite well.  I'm not sure if it is available any longer -
it was shareware.  Even allowed dropping to dos from remote and running
simple commands.  You could up/download and even leave messages.

Try removing all batteries and drying it slowly in front of a fan.  Also
make sure the Ace card is also dry and no water is inside the pin holes.

One guy thought his was dead and shipped to HP.  They declared it dead
and shipped it back.  By the time it travelled both ways, it worked
again.  Slowly dried out, I guess.

Good luck

using Telix, a good general comm program, you could have a rather complete BBS
setup using a pre-canned scripting program (the language was called SALT) .
When I was running a RemoteAccess, then ProBoard BBS, I would use the Telix
BBS script as a backup when doing maintenance or repairs.  I think someone
else mentioned minihost, and I believe that or something similar was one of
that ran as a script under Telix.

The whole deal could occupy less than 500k of space, and provide file up/down
in all protocols, doorway, different access levels, and the callback functions
could be added with a little effort in the SALT programming... I believe CID
functionality could be enabled quite easily through the scripting, a little
modem communication and some text file echoing at worst... I think even my
full BBS occupied less than 2 - 3 meg at full size, including door games,
supplementary utilities, executables and three different access levels' worth
of screens.

Greetings from sunny Down Under,

On Friday, 4 September 1998, Bruce Martin said re Leap Year:-

< Nah, pushing the earth closer to the sun is *way* easier.  Just get
< everyone in the world to go to Australia and stand on footstools.
< Then, in the middle of the night, everybody jumps off at the same
< time.

Bruce, we are not daft down here.  We don't do the jumping (leaping)
ourselves -- we train animals to do it for us.  They're called
kangaroos.  Why do you think that we get so much more sun than you
guys?  It happens all the time, so we don't need a special Leap Year,
get it?

If you don't believe me, well, yes, you can come on down here to my
house and see for yourself.  In fact you are all welcome, as long as
you bring your Palmtops!

Cheers,

Barry Collins

First, Congratulations on a wise move!
(Wise being defined as something that I have also done/like to do <G>)
I have used a omnibook 600, (and now alas, a Compaq) with my LX, and the IR
link works great WITH NO ADITIONAL S/W on either side. Just set up both to
use IR, use 38Kbps, and open HyperTerminal on the Omnibook (assume you're
running Windo$e) and the COMMS app on the LX.
Transfer files with Zmodem, so you don't have to specify filenames etc.
Works great.
I use a Nokia with a GSM card on my lx for 400grammes of wireless Internett
cruising. The card draws a bit much power, but it beats anything sitting on
the bus downloading my POP mail!
I also use a 14.4 battery powered modem, but Rockwell really isn't world
class when it comes to CMOS technology! The batteries give me some 10
MINUTES of comms time!! Really is a no-brainer!
Besides, mains power and wall phone sockets go together, so I'm never out
of luck.
Use a "break out box" adapter to connect to BT sockets. Great for
travelling, too.
I use a Kingston flash card (40MB) and am delighted. No extra S/W driver or
hassle. Great speed.

Good luck!
- Paul

Sorry to hear of your loss, Kolja!
Problem with water is that it causes corrosion of all connectors not
gold/sliver plated and, if there is a voltage on the equip. when wet even
corrodes wires & stuff.
Depending on how long it was in the rain you might be able to salvage it:
(works on Nokia Mobile phones).

Disassemble.
Spray circuit boards with warm water with detergent leace LCD well alone
Scrub carefully with soft toothbrush - more on contact areas, less on small
surface mount devices
rinse in warm water
Dry with hair dryer
use rubber eraser on pressure contacts
spray moisture repellant on contact surfaces
wipe off
dry.
Careful with that LCD - if the contacts to rows/colums get wet they corrode
and become useless - unless you want to disassemble the LCD proper. :-)

Good luck
Paul

Subject:      Re: Donald (Part 2)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT

Hello again,

Thanks to all who contributed to the Donald dilemma.  I had already
put down some of my own ideas beforehand, so as not to be influenced
by other views, but it is interesting to see the similarities.  Also,
I had some further information which may help, but then again it could
be a red herring.

Here is my idea of how Donald manages to challenge the Palmtop.

First of all, it is worth noting that Donald lives locally on a
special farm set up many years ago to provide shelter and limited
training mainly for individuals with Downes Syndrome.  Donald is not
in this category but clearly has some form of mental impairment.

Secondly, Donald reminds me in some ways of David Helfgott, the
Australian classical pianist portrayed recently in the film "Shine".
He, too, suffered from some form of mental stress or impairment at
some point in his life.  Like Donald, he has a sudden big smile and
repeats statements, not always directly answering questions.  He has
an incredible memory and usually performs from his extensive
repertoire of lengthy classical piano pieces without the written
score.  Donald may also have affinities with the character portrayed
by Dustin Hoffman in Rainman.  Several other people also mentioned
this

The most that I have been able to get out of Donald himself is that he
looks up the calendar for his answers.  After a lot of effort I
eventually got him to say that he was given a hundred year calendar by
"the farmers".  He has now said this more than once.  The trouble is
that you have to make suggestions to him to get anywhere and you can
never be absolutely sure that he is not just agreeing with you to be
helpful.  However, he always says yes if you ask him if he has
memorised the calendar, yet cannot give you any idea of how many
months are on it.  Even prompting him with suggestions of 7 days in a
week and 52 weeks in a year, or 12 months in a year, seems to have
little meaning for him.  To the question of him perhaps having to
resort to calculation to go back to the last century, he will
eventually agree; but not convincingly, and I suspect that he is
partly guessing.

Anyway, I think that Donald must indeed have memorised the 100-year
calendar.  Anecdotal evidence exists for autistic people having
unusual memory skills and recently I heard of a young male who had a
penchant for reading and memorising the telephone directory.  I doubt
if Donald would know how to calculate a date in the normal sense of
calculation, so I guess he has a lot more RAM (or is it ROM?) than
most of us!

Thanks James Scheffler for your personal message suggesting that
Donald is likely to be autistic with hard-wired "talents".  You may be
largely right, though how does such a person acquire the talent in the
first place?  Several people suggested an autistic cause and the
expression "idiot savant" surfaced several times.  Certainly a
prodigious memory would seem to be one prerequisite.

Whatever the answer, it is good to think that just in case there are
some areas where the HP LX Palmtops do turn out to have a Y2K problem,
for me Donald lives just round the corner; so I might have a date with
him!

Fingers crossed,

Barry Collins

Was the 2X crystal from Times2?
Does it require soldering, if so how easy is it to do?

If someone want to know which type of motherbord inside before open it,
try this.

d:\dos\debug.exe                    <--- enter debug mode
-d40:c8 cbenter                   <--- dump memory
0040:00C0   xx xx xx xx   ....      <--- result
-qenter                           <--- exit debug mode

The "xx xx xx xx" is memory bank allocation.
It shows BANK0 to BANK3 memory volume in hex.
(02=0.5MB, 08=2MB, 20=8MB, 80=32MB)
Originally BANK0 and 1 are located on motherboard,
BANK2 and 3 are on memory board.
For example (I didn't confirmed all);

Original model
  02 02 00 00   1MB model (1MB motherboard)
  02 02 02 02   old 2MB model (1MB motherboard)
  08 00 00 00   new 2MB model (2MB motherboard)
  08 00 08 00   4MB model (2MB motherboard)

Upgraded model
  02 02 08 08   5MB model (add 4MB on 1MB motherboard, T2T,Marcan,Wakamatsu)
  08 00 08 08   6MB model (add 4MB on 2MB motherboard, T2T,Marcan,Wakamatsu)
  02 02 20 20   17MB model (add 16MB on 1MB motherboard, TNS)

I replied to someone who wanted to use the HP on external power for an
extended period of time. The time was so long that batteries were likely to
start leaking and ruining the battery compartment. The question this person
posted was: can one use the 200LX without batteries in this case?

Assuming the thing is dried up, I can only imagine the following:

I have noticed on several occasions that if some equipment is exposed to
water, and there is still power in the batteries, all kinds of dissolved
substances (various salts) start to disintegrate and form a substance on
the conductors carrying voltage. These substances appear to be conductive
as well, and they are likely to short out something or at least form a
resistor. I guess this is what is draining your batteries, and it is easy
possible between the tiny and closely spaced legs of the components. If it
were my LX, I would do the following:

Remove *all* power from the 200LX. Leave it alone for a while to discharge
any capacitors. Take out the main circuit board. Then start flushing it
with distilled water. The idea is to dissolve all substances again, so make
the water a comfortable temperature (40 C), make a lot of movements, and
don't give up to soon. It may take a while, and it may even be a good idea
to repeat this procedure. Then let the board thoroughly dry before applying
power to it. An hot-air oven set at 40-50 C may be of great help, both at
the dissolving part and the drying part. I hope it is obvious that you
should not use a microwave for this procedure.

>I checked all bigger capacitors on the board with a simple (low voltage) Ohm
>meter but did not find any short circuit.

Two remarks here: 1) electrolytic capacitors are not sensitive to water as
far as I know. 2) The 200LX consumes very little power. A "short circuit"
consuming 20mA is enough to drain the batteries in a rate you described.
And to get a current of 20mA by 3 volts, a resistor value of 150 ohms is
sufficient.

Please let me (us) know how your LX is doing after the procedure. I wish
you success!

I hope you are wrong, but that doesn't sound good. 64MB should show up.
Contact us or email sharon@thaddeus.com right away. We are open today,
Tuesday, starting at 8:00AM central time (1.5 hours from now).

Sorry for the major inconvenience if you have to send it back again.

You can download WWW12.EXE (a self extracting archive) which
contains the new version of www.exe. You can also download
POST2.EXE (a self extracting archive) which contains the new
version of Post.exe.

WWWLX.ZIP contains EVERYTHING.

Our web page is at www.dasoft.com. Follow the link to "New

Ah, but it does. It is just that you do not see the resulting

When you VIEW stuff on the internet, these files are

Ok.

Andreas just notified me that he added the ability to edit the

This is a nice way to do it, what you do here.

Someone inquired about running a BBS on the palmtop.

I recently was feeling nostalgic about a BBS I had run some years ago, so I
restored it to the palmtop. It was RBBS Version 15.1, which was in it's
time a full featured BBS. While I did not hook up to it, it seemed to run
fine on my 1 meg 200LX (w/flashcard). Indeed it seemed to run faster than
it did on the XT where it origionally resided.

It was actually pretty weird. All the messages were intact, just as I had
left them. When I "logged on" it said "Last connected 1990"....

Old is 40+, a programmer and looking for a job. My recently laid off fellow
forty-somethings will attest to that. Too bad there's not a booming market
for 200LX programmers so I could combine the best parts of work and
fun... the way it used to be 8(

In fact, I had DBase 3+ installed, then deleted only last month on my 200LX.

Don't recall the exact settings, but I had something workable.

My reference manual says the command is:

        SET COLOR OFF

to switch to monochrome monitor (SET COLOR ON switches to the color
monitor and SET COLORS TO sets the specific color attributes).

You may have to use that command (in the config.db) in concert with the DOS
command mono8025 before you start DB3.

Actually, since most of my friends assume that I started on something as
old as *gasp* "an XT", 37 feels ancient.  They have no concept of
8080's, and 4k memory board *kits*.  And don't even try describing
the magnetic core memory in the DG Nova (the one with incandesant front
panel lights) which I used in high school. <g>

Well, I'd better go put on my Depends before I have a problem.. :-)  :-)

Would restoring an OLD setup.env give contrary results?  I thought that
happened to me when I made mine 6megs and accidently restored old files.

I know that the 200lx can boot from A: (a flashdisk). Is it a true 'from

would my palmtop boot from there or would it become some type of hybrid?

Hi LXers.....It's a beautiful day in Pennsylvania!

Hey I finally found the info about how, where, and what I paid for the American
Heritage Dictionary I am successfully running on my LX I spoke of recently.

It is from:

Wordstar Atlanta Technology Ctr.
450 Franklin Road, Suite 100
Marietta, GA  30067

OR

Wordstar International Inc.
201 Alameda del Prado
Novato, CA 94948

phone number 800-227-5609

I ordered the "standard" version which was part number A8-0900D3. It shipped as eight
720k 3.5 floppies.  The specs recommend 6.5 mb of available disk for the standard
edition (what I have) but they also have a "deluxe" edition that specifies 15.5mb of
available space. (that's for you hot rodders with those new 32 meg double
speeds...envy...envy....envy)  Anyway I frequently run this program two ways with equal
success. I run it standalone by adding a   /s    parameter to the startup command AND
also as a tsr to run with Word Perfect 5.1 on my LX. I find the standard edition quite
impressive and it seems to know pretty much every word I throw at it.

Using the now famous "penitent" example here is what the dictionary gave for that word.
To give you a feel for speed (very non-scientific here) I had wp5.1 loaded and the
dictionary loaded as a tsr and after typing the word penitent in WP I hit my chosen
dictionary hot key sequence of Ctrl, Left-SHIFT, D and it took 12 sweconds for the
dictionary to "swap in" and deliver the following definition. Note that I do not use
anything like maxdos and note that I had terminated all the normal lx stuff and had
only the dictionary loaded as a TSR and WP5.1 loaded in foreground.  If you get some
goofy characters in the section below it is because the dictionary uses some special
characters to illustrate correct phonetic sounds. Don't worry....they work peachy on
the LX and required no special effort to display correctly.


penitent penyiytent (pen'i-tnnt) adj.
 1. Feeling or expressing remorse for one's
    misdeeds or sins.
Dpenyiytent n.
 1. One who is penitent.
 2. A person performing penance under the
    direction of a confessor.
RUN-ONS:  --pen'iytentyly adv.



I purchased my copy on 2/7/97 for $29.95 and installed it on a desktop machine and then
used interlnk to move it to my trusty LX. It has worked fine and I found the manual
very helpful (especially the parameter for optional loading techniques)

I have not contacted the above address or numbers recently and hope they are still
valid but this is the info I had in with my goodies. Hope this helps answer all the
questions I have received. If I missed somethin' give a yell.

G'day,
Keith

I'm not a "power" user of my HPLX.   I still use my Windows 95 laptop as a

Has anyone upgraded their HP200LX with the Marcan MDN-200LX/4 4MB memory
upgrade?

If so what was your experience re:

1. Ease of installation - if soldering is not required.

2. Any subsequent operational problems.

3. Effect on battery life.

Although only a 4MB upgrade, at about US$59, this may be cost effective and
affordable for some of us.

Thanks

Gee, and I thought maybe I was the only ol' fogey on the list.
Someone else remembers magnetic core memory...  In my case it was an
old IBM 1620.  Yep - incandescent panel lights (LEDs? what's that??).
This thing was a 4-bit BCD (yep, BCD not binary!) machine with either
10 or 20K memory.  Used punch cards or paper tape for loading.  The
big excitement was the addition of an extra 10K and a disk drive.
(Both desk size).   At least it was a post-vacuum-tube era machine  8-)

One thing is for sure: the OS you load (be it DOS 6.22 or 7), will not have
support for the internal ROM and RAM drives, and thus you'll not have
access to the usual C: and D: drives.

You can also concatenate text file with the COPY command:
   COPY file1 + file2 + file3 targetfile
which will combine file1, file2, file3 or however many into targetfile.
I image targetfile could be PRN.

case gave a "clear as mud" explanation as to how they worked.

I used to have a TSR called Vidclock (though I seem to have lost it, as I
now run my own awk-based version on 95 and NT).  It gives you your choice of
colors and screen location.  I might have got it from CompuServe.  If you
don't have access or can't find it, I'll see if I can retrieve it.

I recall several discussions about this quite a while ago on HPHAND.
IIRC there isn't much `special' to worry about, other than making sure
that the versions of DOS support (CHKDSK, ...) agree with the version
of the system that is executing.

I don't think that there are any parts of the DOS6+ systems software
that require more than an 80186, so I don't think that causes any
significant problem.

Appropriate PATHing should avoid any `cross-pollination' between the
ROM version and the version booted from FlashDisk...

Grrrr. Sounded good til I started to clarify the price with the person
answering Intuit's toll-free order line:
 "It's $99.95"
Turns out she had pulled up info about the Franklin Bookman, an electronic
device that, as far as I know, has some version of Pocket Quicken Connect
in ROM, and apparently comes with PQ Connect "free". Hah! After putting me
on hold a couple times, the Intuit employee told me that Intuit does not
sell the PQC software separately anymore, and it sounded like they don't
even sell the Bookman device.

Anyway, if someone wants to pursue this with Franklin, I have a phone
number for their customer support: (609) 386-2500

This was a Data General Nova II, actually a rather cool rack-mounted
machine for young geeks. <g>  It had 16k core memory, a high speed paper
tape reader, and three ASR33 teletypes, each with low-speed paper tape
readers/punches.  It ran DG timeshared BASIC.

It was quite fun, early on we found that it timeshared by running one
line of basic per teletype.  Didn't take us long, via nested defined
functions, to figure out a line of basic that would take an hour and
a half to calculate (thus locking out everyone else)...  It also had
a really cool parsing bug.  If you entered ";1e111p" (; was a shortcut
for print, p was garbage) it would get both an arithmetic error (overflow)
and a syntax error (p).  Only, you'd get the syntax error and another
teletype would get the arithmetic error!  Great fun with beginning
students! <g>

Then there's the time they decided we were using too much teletype
paper and refused to purchase more.  We found that the paper towel
rolls from the restrooms fit perfectly (though it made a mess inside
the teletype!).  The janitor was really getting mad because the paper
towels would disappear as soon as he filled the dispenser!  Needless
to say, they started buying us paper again. <g>

Gee, and now that there's no more paper tape dots, what do you youngsters
throw at football games, AOL CDs? :-)  :-)

There's probably a well written description accessible somewhere, but
here's a very simplified shot:

Cores had 3 wires running through a little donut of magnetizable iron.
Let'c call them NS, EW and Diag just for short. If a core was magnitized
say, counterclockwise, then a N pulse and an E pulse would (1) reverse
it to clockwise and (2) cause a pulse to be generated on Diag because
it was reversing. A S pulse and a W pulse would leave it alone and
not cause anything to be genrated on Diag.

Now here comes the trick. *Just* a N pulse (or just an E pulse) wasn't
enough to `trigger' the change, due to the properties of the iron donut.
Thus a whole bunch of cores could be put in arrays of squrares, say 32
by 32, and we could `pulse' one NS line and one EW line, and *only* the
one donut at the intersection would be affected. Thus with 32 NS lines
and 32 EW lines and one Diag line (winding thru all of the donuts) we
could select a particular donut, and detect its `state', without
disturbing the state of any other of the donuts in the plane.

Thus we could store 1024 bits in such a plane by associating `1' with
counterclockwise polarization and `0' with clockwise. Then we could read
any bit by pulsing the appropriate NS and EW lines and looking at what
we see on Diag. Note that reading is `destructive', so core memories
were wired such that their first `official act' upon reading a `1' was
to immediately arrange to rewrite it back into the memory.

Hope this helps. Feel free to write me back if I could try to make anything clearer...

Ah yes, I remember using paper towels for our TTY which served as the
printer and archival media (punched tape) for our IMSAI 8080 running North
Star BASIC. For a glass TTY we used a DEC VT50 (caps only) connected via a
20mA current loop.

Such memories sure make the 200LX seem like an obscenely overpowered,
overfeatured machine, even at 1MB (never mind 64MB?!!!)

Well - my memory of technology from the 60's isn't all that clear.  I
can tell you how the core matrices themselves were made.  The cores
were small ferrite toroids (donuts) arranged in a matrix on vertical
and horizontal wires.  there was also a "sense" wire strung thru all
the cores in each layer.  A 10K memory consisted of one 100 x 100
matrix for each bit, plus at least one for a a parity bit.  The 1620
had (as I recall) 4 data bits, one parity bit, and a flag bit for each
address.  It took a considerable amount of support circuitry to run
these things.  (Remember, this was before ICs were invented).
Addresses were selected by selecting x and y wires in the matrix.  I
think data was written or read by pulsing the appropriate xy
combination, and either applying current to the sense wire or picking
up the small current induced in the sense wire.  The polarity of the
pulse would depend on the direction of magnetization of the core at the
xy junction...

Probably the judges explanation was clearer than this   8-)

I too started programming on an IBM 1620.  Our first programs were in
machine code (not assembler).  A lot faster to use machine code, plus
really reduced the class size!

However my first professional job was working in an EDP department of a
manufacturing company.  My first programs "for pay" were "written" by
plugging wires into panels inserted in collating machines.  $75 per
week.

I have the deluxe version on my palmtop.  It's large, as you say, but it
has every word I can think of.  An example of a word that the Deluxe
version has that the Standard version doesn't: "defenestration," or the
act of throwing somebody out a window.  <g>   The deluxe version has
addresses for colleges and universities as well, and lots of biographical
entries.  Unfortunately, it's significantly slower at looking up words
than the standard version.

Also, I believe both of these are version 3.0 of the dictionary.  There
are older versions floating around as well, but they don't compare well to
the nice look and features of 3.0.

Here's what the deluxe edition has to say (some characters look different
in e-mail ASCII than on the screen):

penitent (pen'i-t_nt) adj.
 1. Feeling or expressing remorse for one's
    misdeeds or sins.
-penitent n.
 1. One who is penitent.
 2. A person performing penance under the
    direction of a confessor.
Etymology: Middle English, from Old French,
  from Medieval Latin pEEnitEEns, pEEnitent-,
  from Latin paenitEEns, present participle of
  paenitEEre, to repent.
RUN-ONS:  --pen'itently adv.


For anybody who wants further information, I'm going to be posting reviews
of the American Heritage Dictionary 3.0 (standard and deluxe) versions on
my web site, as well as a review of the Collins Dictionary / Thesaurus.
(The Collins Multilingual Dictionary review is already up.)

Hi List,
I have been a passive member of the list for some time but now I am moving on to
another country and I have to change my ISP.
I just wanted to say that reading this list has been very instructive and at
times really amusing. Thanks to the people who provide their knowledge about the
LX to other not so knowledgable users.

Subject:      Pocket modem battey life (was: Modem/Enet/IR advice)
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

   I also use a 14.4 battery powered modem, but Rockwell really isn't world
   class when it comes to CMOS technology! The batteries give me some 10
   MINUTES of comms time!! Really is a no-brainer!

Yikes!
 I've been looking for a battery powered pocket modem for my 200LX because
my Megahertz CC3144 PCMCIA modem drains my LX batteries too quickly without
the AC adapter. I reasoned that if I have to carry my AC adapter on the
road, I might as well carry a battery powered  external modem instead, and
at the same time avoid the hassle of swapping out my flash card to get
online.

Is short battery life typical of all pocket modems, or just this Rockwell
model? What is a good pocket modem to get (and where can I find one these
days)?

TIA,
B.

I have an InfoTell 14.4K modem that users 9 volt battery and I get better
that  2 hours of on-line time with it.  That is constant use. I have got
several days worth of use where I dial up CompuServe using a off-line reader
and upload/download e-mail and forum information in about 5 minutes at a
time several times a day. The used market is about the only place these
days. You might want to look at the Data Traveler 336E. It is a 33.6K modem
that has an external battery pack that uses 2 AAs. Specs call for 2 hours of
on-line time per set.

Bruce,

Short battery life is a problem for pretty much all modems. They do
tend to be pretty power-hunggry devices. However, a good choice that's
readily accessable is the PalmPilot modem. 3Com had the chipset
custom-made to have very low power consumption. Unfortunately,
there's two problems:

1. You'll have to make a custom serial cable to use it

2. The type of connector that the Pilot uses is pretty hard to find

If you feel like doing a bit of hardware hacking, check out
the paper I did on gutting the PalmPilot modem and installing it in it's
own case for use with your 200lx. With two AA Lithium batteries,
I average about 10-12 hours with it. The down side is that the
modem is only 14,400 baud, which is OK for what I do.

The paper is available on the S.U.P.E.R. site.

Actually you just remember the days before the "net" as it is today.
Before the proliferation of web based sites (following the "invention"
of html) the web existed as a diverse collection of ftp, telnet,
wais, gopher, archie and other sites. BBS's reigned as the most
popular sites for home users but the net was big at universities all
over the country (and world) as well as government installations.

My first computer was a ts-1000. I had to build a serial port and
modem for it so I could connect to the university to do my work. At
the time I was so happy to be able to work from home on the mainframe
at school that I wouldn't have traded my ts-1000 for anything. Its
amazing how fast things change.

Good Day,

I am a long time 200lx user, but very new to this list.  Not wanting to ask
a question that has been answered a hundred times before, I did a search on
the archives for any information on synchronizing the 200lx and Microsoft
Outlook (at least the contacts and calendar).

I found one instance where someone asked about the steps involved in going
from the 200lx to Schedule+ to Outlook and back, but the answer never
appeared on the list.  Does anyone know if there is such a procedure?  Is
there any other method for synchronizing the two?

Thanks,

John Graf

...or how about playing TREK with the IBM 360 mainframe, over a 300 baud

for output!

At the tender age  of 40 I can't be the oldest on this list. Surely someone
else here remembers how to program in COBOL?

And I'm sure that many of you may recall my 3/31/98 tale of woe when a 2
week-old patient of mine urinated into my labcoat pocket and straight
into the PCMCIA slot of my 200lx (some unfeeling person thought this was
an April Fool's joke ;) !).

The unit made a horrible noise and refused to turn off unless there was
no power supply (ALL batteries out, including back-up).

The majority of suggestions recommended soaking the main unit half in
distilled deionized water (I used only distilled) and leaving it opened
on its side with the PCMCIA door propped open on its side in a gas oven
(off) so that the mild heat from the pilot light would evaporate the
water.

Well it still didn't work, but Mack Baggette at Times2Tech offered to
look at it and repair the unit (if possible) at a nominal fee (otherwise,
returned for the cost of shipping as a fancy paperweight).  He found that
the original 4meg expansion was TOTALLY fried (and mailed the module
back to me as proof) but everything else was intact.  While in his shop,
I had a new 4meg expansion installed and the 2x modification made.  Now,
it works like a champ.  My 16meg flashcard that took the brunt of the
urine was completely unscathed, despite being bathed in urine.

I now take the lx out of my pocket when examining newborns, or at least
keep their diapers on.

Good luck in your repair.  I think that you will be surprised at how
resilient these little electronic wonders can be.

Also, for those of you who were wondering what ever became of my 200lx, I
figured that this would be an apropos time to give you an update.  Thanks
for all of your help.

Some of us child prodigies just don't understand all this
preoccupation with abs(age). My first computer was VIC-20 with 0.5 K
memory. I donated it to a dance studio and wrote a BASIC program that
ran their advertizing on a loop through a TV set, in a store window.
The computer is still alive and has been running nonstop for 15 years.
Several TV sets died, but the old Vic is still at it. They just reboot
it from the tape drive after power failures. But no program updates for =
the
same 15 years.

I just had this idea about the digest and LXDR
Most of us are using slow modems and some of us are getting the digest
every day. If You are using a 9600bps connection ( well, the cellular
doesnt give me any more than that :-> ) it takes a long time
to download the digest. It usaly is about 50K bytes

Would it be hard to send the digest in a compressed form? Pkzip or Xine
etc. And having the digest reader LXDR unpack it before it sorts the
subjects - minimizing disk space and d/l time.
Ofcource some people would like it as a plain text file. That means
that there would have to be two lists. One with compressed files and
one with plain text files.

maybee I am excagerating the problem?

Yes Avi, I am reading this.
And that is good news I am realy impressed with the support You give
Your customer.
Is it realy worth it? Can You realy make a living out of it?
Well I am glad that You are still around.

I keep finding little tricks to use with WWW/LX. I realy missed a
"grab" function, but then it turns out that it is already there!
You should make a package to use with "daily greatings" that gave a

too much information at once.  ;->

And once again. Thanks for making WWW/LX work with my Ericsson gh388 cellular

     Try an HP200LX hooked up to a serial port and use the DOS "CTTY" command
to redirect control to the 200LX running a terminal program.  Good for
text mode.
     Maybe you might be able to find a DOS version of a PC-Anywhere
type of program to remotely control PC's.

     I seem to remember a TSR that would display the time in the upper

If size and functionallity are not a concern, try the following command.

DEL MERGE.TXT
COPY *.TXT MERGE.FIL

     I just recently found a bit of strange behavior under OS/2.  The
Connectivity Pack works well for small files (big ones time out or some
such) but I tried to copy a file to the 200LX from a HPFS partion.  No go.
Copied the file to RAM disk, a FAT partition, everything went fine.

     HPFS is somewhat similar to NTFS.  Are you copying, or installing to
a NTFS partition?  Do you have a conveniant FAT partition to use?

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

Recently one of my companies' PCMCIA modems died. It was out of warranty and
being the curious soul I am, I decided to break the card open and see what
was inside. Remarkably, the inside of this card looks almost identical to a
regular external modem, though a bit smaller and more cramped. As many of us
have looked for an external 'pocket' modem for our lx's, it makes me ask
this question.

Has anyone ever converted a PCMCIA modem over to an external/battery-powered
modem?

I've converted different external modems over for palmtop use, but PCMCIA
standards are a little hard for this tinkerer to follow. Here's my idea:

A small project box with a PCMCIA slot, battery compartment, ON/OFF switch,
and serial connection. You stick any standard PCMCIA modem in, turn it on,
and you get a battery powered external modem that plugs into your HP via
serial. This would allow for any future changes and allow you to choose
which modem you wanted. If a PCMCIA slot is too difficult, a hard-wired
version would work also. I know there's some circuitry involved here
(voltage regulator, couple of capacitors, maybe some diodes for automatic
switch over to a DC adaptor or fuses for surge suppression) but as I'm just
dangerous enough to destroy something, I'm posting this up for those of you
that have real engineering experience.

All suggestions / answers / revisions / arguments / thoughts on subject

In a message dated 98-09-08 17:00:46 EDT, you write:

<< At the tender age  of 40 I can't be the oldest on this list. >>

Well, I'll roger up to being 49 (50 in January.)  That's an 18% increase in
max.  I remember when Univac took one of their first computers to the Art
Linkletter Show.  (Children, Art Linkletter had a daytime variety talk show,
and played the uke.)   The machine covered most of the stage.  Not only could
it do long division, but it could do it more quickly than a Person!
(Children, do they still teach long division?)

I used to be pretty good with a slide rule.  When I was in college, the
computer geeks (yes, we had 'em in the 60's) went to the computer building,
typed in their code, and waited 'til the next morning to see if they had typed
it in right.  Then they took a 3" pile of paper back to the student union to
debug the output.

The first programable device I had was a TI calculater which took a 2.5" x
.25" magnetic strip and drug it through a slot to "upload" maybe 50 calculater
instruction or didgits of data.  It cost about what an undiscounted 200LX
costs,

(I know.  When someone was a lad, all they had to calculate with was fingers.)

Cordially,

Lynn M. Cavendish

I've had a look at the website and the box. It runs an unnamed proprietary
OS. According to the sales people it is very similar in design and function
to the Psion3a, just a bit faster.

You could (theoretically) get DOS to boot on this machine, but you'd have
the following problems:

1) Bitmapped screen, you'd have to write your own display BIOS that
renders text directly to the (probably undocumented) display memory.
DOS programs wouldn't be able to access the screen hardware at all, because
it's not likely to be memory compatible with CGA even in graphics mode
(no one would design a display buffer like that nowadays)
2) PC-compatible screen, keyboard, timer etc. chips. I'd be very
surprised if any of these are present, let alone at the same addresses.
You could give a reduced level of compatibility by writing your own
BIOS for these functions.
3) Disk access. The FAT filing system is used on the internal/external
disks. You'd have to write your own disk BIOS which accessed the
hardware though.

With these limitations, you could certainly get a DOS prompt, but you'd
be able to run very few useful applications (this is more or less how
XTCE was when I first got it to boot DOS).

You could (theoretically) get around some of these problems if Psion has
included a memory management coprocessor that can trap address accesses and
re-route them (ala '386 etc.)... You'd get around (1) and (2) that way by
remapping the PC I/O ports and addresses you need for PC hardware
compatibility.

I'd say it would be as hard (if not impossible) to do all of this than
to write XT-CE. Of course (theoretically) you could port XT-CE to the
PSion OS and run it as a task as you do in CE. You could probably even
tweek the CPU emulation to take advantage of having a real x86 present,
although you're not likely to see much of that 27Mhz left after all is
said and done...

Don't worry guys, AMD has made an embedded 486 chip that is supported
by Windows CE. On top of that the x86 version of CE requires a proper
PC compatible BIOS and hardware. I'd be very surprised if somebody
didn't make a x86 based CE palmtop soon (hell I would if I had the
resources) that was capable of booting DOS too (PalmDOOM anybody?)...

Yes, the 2X crystal came from Times2. It is soldered in, two thru the
board leads and the case is soldered to a ground pad. I had a fairly
complete solder station at my disposal, so I had all the tools I
needed. It is small work, for an old guy with bad eyes, like me, a
magnifying lens is almost a must. If you're not up on your soldering
skills, it wouldn't hurt to do a little practice first.

Hope this helps,

Ahhh. the days of punched cards. I learned COBOL on punched cards on a IBM
370
mainframe, at least once a year it would happen someone would trip and
cards would
fly.  Then the programmer would become a sorter to get the instructions in
the right
order again.  I can see it now. wait i need to reorder the lines of my C++
app. :)

A word about COBOL, any language that requires 700 lines or so to simply
read from
one file and right matching records to another cant be all bad. <im
kidding> The most
wordy language ive ever used, and hope to never use again.

Ian,

If the Psion Series 3mx is similar at all to a 3a/3c it is almost certainly
running
the latest version of EPOC16 OS. They are probably down playing the role of
the OS because Symbian now controls the OS and is billing it as an OS for
smart phones, etc.

This would be a problem, as any bitmap graphics would have to be resized to

the smaller screen. Like XTCE does on 480 with CE machines. <g> In any
event
its not pretty, or simple.

Actually, I would be suprised if the 3mx hardware above was NOT the same as
a PC. EPOC16 applications used to be sold for the PC as well a few years
back
and the EPOC16 emulator for developers is a PC-DOS only application, it
wont
work under windows as it needs direct access to the PC hardware.

Once again, i think the internals as far as hardware and BIOS level will be
quite
similar to the PC. The screen is a problem, but it may be closer than you
think.

If you were to do this, it may be better to port it to EPOC32 OS which is
used in
the series 5.  This OS will also be in numerous devices from NOKIA,
ERICCSON,
and a number of other mobile phone providers.

This would be very intersting, any clue if anyone is really working on one?

BTW: Congrats on XTCE its a real piece of work.  If I could find a handheld
CE
machine which has near the battery life of a 100/200lx I would definitely
pick up
XTCE, but alas they havent made one yet. Battery life always seems to
suffer on
those things.

For years, before I switched to running PcBoard, I ran my BBS on RyBBS
software.  It was written by Greg Ryan who was head programmer for
Exec-PC BBS and later president of same, the largest BBS in the world.
I started running it on an 8088 (Tandy 1000) so it just might be
do-able.  I still have it available for download so let me know if you
are interested and I'll find the archive name for you.

Yhanks for the info. I found a copy of versian 3 in the sale bin of my
favorite used software shop, Cyberexchange. I got the disks, and manual
but no PASSWORD to load up with. Cyberexchange couldn't help and for
what I paid, it is worth it to keep and look for the password. I did
call the phone number above, it is now 1 617 761-3000, they're open

I just bought another HP200LX, for backup, as my first's screen is
starting to go.  When I try to connect to it through the serial cable on
my PC with Win200, the HP (already in Filer) pops up the window about
being in server mode and processing remote commands only, but then
Win200 tells me it couldn't find an HP connected.  The HP is set to COM1
and 19200 baud, is there something else I need to do?  On reboot, the
ROM version shows as 1.02 A.  This is a 2 meg unit I just bought that
was shipped from Korea.  In addition to the English markings, it also
has Korean characters, and the odd thing about it is that there is no
serial number on the back.  Is this some kind of bootleg?

I have always heard that to remove water from electronics, remove power
soruce and soak in rubbing alchaol.  Check the alchoal that you buy as
there are different percentages of water in it.  I think the common
types are 70 percent and 90 percent alchoal and the other percentage
being water.  The 90 is therefor better.  After soaking, and or flushing
with alchoal, let dry "Fully" so no alchoal is arround when applying
power again.  I would assume if scrubing areas of corosion, alchoal
would also be better than distilled or de-ionized water.

Comments: To: Steven Lawson <stevel@SDL.CONTINET.COM>

I know this is getting way out in left field when it comes to the focus of
this mailing list, but, I just can't resist....

The first project I managed and directed, for the company I work for now,
was a real-time simulator that simulated and controlled the primary avionic
funtions for an F-16 aircraft.

Our customer required us to use a specified host computer, against our best
judgement and recommendation.  Money was not an issue, but time was. The
customer knew this host computer and had numerous spares (but, I am
digressing).

The host computer had a whopping 16K of magnetic core memory. No disk, and
only a 9-track tape drive to load the system.  Attached to this host was a
rack of signal I/O controllers. All simulation control was via a VT-100
terminal.  We had complete simulation models running so fast that we had to
actually build wait routines into them to slow them down to real-time
parameters. This was before we had real-computers that do real-time
processing and control.

All the software for host computer was written in a proprietry assembly
language that our customer provided.  Our biggest avionic function that we
simulated (Inertial Navigation) took less than 2048 BYTES of core memory.
Now that was a fun project to demo to our customer.

Your pcmcia modem is more like an INTERNAL ISa bus modem than an
external modem. The difference is that both pcmcia and internal
modems have there own serial port functionality built in and expect
to connect to a bus, whereas the external modem expects to connect to
a serial port. There is no way a pcmcia modem could be connected to a
serial port short of designing a serial connected pcmcia adaptor
which I have a feeling would be VERY difficult. This is basically the
same problem as mounting a ISA bus internal modem externally, you
need something that looks exactly like an ISA bus for it to work.

Pete

PS. A better, but more limited choice, is the new modem aimed at
windows CE devices. It has an external power source but it is an
internal pcmcia modem. Of course while that helps with the power
issue it doesn't solve the single pcmcia slot issue of the hp200lx.

There was one of these things available for purchase a few years ago. There may
be ads for them in old issues of the Palmtop Paper. The price was ridiculous if
I remember correctly.

The only problem with using alcohol is that it is not a solvent for
the same things that water is. So you could have mineral deposits
left behind after using alcohol to clean the system. That is the main
reason behind using distilled water, it is entirely free of minerals
and it will disolve any minerals left behind by the original water
bath. Use alot of distilled water, depending on what it was soaked in
and let it dry FULLY, a warm (not hot) site for several days with any
and all openings left open is best. The thing to remember is that
water isn't the problem, without any minerals in it water is a really
bad conductor of electricity. Also, while it can cause corrosion if
something is dried correctly that is not likely to be an issue. Also,
fi you ever even THINK that water, or any other liquid, has gotten
into an electrical device DON'T TURN IT ON. If it is battery powered
REMOVE THE BATTERIES IMMEDIATELY. No liquid short of a strong acid is
going to hurt a device that is without power.

Subject:      Unusual Palmtop Date for Donald
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

Hello HP Mailers (that includes FEmailers),

While considering the merits and possible failures of the HP Palmtops
re the Y2K problems currently topical in this Group, I remembered some
local (Oz & NZ) discussion on this subject over a year ago.  It is
cause for thought about the ingenuity of the Palmtops designers of the
LX series.

By tinkering with date calculations on that occasion, I discovered
that the good old LX could calculate back to Friday, 15 October, 1582!
 It seems such an odd date, though the Friday part may be an oblique
clue.  It took a little bit of research to establish the significance
of that date.  Maybe those of you who like a challenge will want a
little time to think about it; and I'll give you a bit more time than
it would take Donald (of an earlier message) to confirm that it was a
Friday.

Another oddity for you to ponder:  why does the date calculation
facility on the LX offer you the third alternative of using the
360-day year?  There are no prizes for the correct answer (unless you
are prepared to come to Oz to collect them!), but the answer lies
closer to home for most of you.

BTW, if you do come to Oz, remember to bring your jumping stools (see
previous message on Leap Year).

Have fun,

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

This has been kicked about quite a bit.  AFAIK, solutions fall into two
categories:  using gdbio or similar utilities to generate .csv files to be
imported/exported with Outlook, or using Intellisync to synchronize with
Schedule+, and then importing into Outlook.  Neither of these is a
synchronization, however, although you can get limited syncing with
Schedule+.

I have the VBA documentation for Outlook and *in theory* it would be not too
hard to write a VBA module to sync with a 200LX file.  You would have to
first get the 200LX file onto your Windows machine via the means of your
choice (I wouldn't attempt to write anything that syncs "in place" on the
200LX) and then you could do one of several things.  First, you could then
convert the .adb etc. files to .csv, and sync with those from Outlook, then
re-convert to 200LX when done. Second, you could write code to directly read
the 200LX format in Visual BASIC (although all the 200LX documentation
assumes straight ANSI C code) and use a "history" file to perform a true
syncronization.  I think the latter is a better solution, but manipulating
200LX data files with a limited BASIC such as VBA seems to be a nontrivial
exercise, to say the least.  Third, you could write Visual C++ (or
equivalent) code to manipulate Outlook via OLE (e.g. to call functions to
export/import the Outlook data) and do the conversion similarly.  This too
is nontrivial.

Sorry for the long post.  Has anyone out there written a BASIC or C++ header
or module to write/read 200LX data files?

Then I retract the advice to scrub dried water soaked units with
alcohol.  But I would still consider it to quickly dry out units that
are still wet, recently out of the dunk.  The alcohol will absorb much
of the water and get in to where the water got to get the water with
minerals out of the palmtop.

Well, I can beat that...learned ALGOL (!) in 1963 (I think it
was...one's specific memory gets weaker, you know, as wisdom
accumulates) and missed by only a year or two getting to program the
vacuum tube UNIVAC at Ga Tech.  I must have had thousands of punch cards
at one time and learned early to number them in order.  I would have
given a valuable body part for my own keypunch in those student
days...there was always a line and at least one machine was always
broken.

Has anyone else ever heard of a REDACTRON machine?

The HP-35 was no four-banger:

"The HP-35 has far more computational power than previous pocket
calculators. Its ten digit accuracy exceeds the precision to which most of
the physical constants of the universe are known. It will handle numbers as
small as 10-99 and up to 1099 and automatically places the decimal point
for you. It is the first pocket calculator to provide you with
transcendental functions like logarithms and sines and cosines."

I wrote a report generator in dBase. Based on my input, it creates
narrative-like documents, 1 page long each. They have to be batch
printed at the end of half-day. I have a master file, unimaginately
named 2.doc, another file that contains nothing but =10Page Break=11,
named 3.doc, and each report gets copied to 1.doc as it's synthesized.

And then it's only a matter of:

copy 2.doc+3.doc+1.doc 2.doc   ...thanks again to those who helped
me with this...

after each patient. 1.doc is always the last patient seen.

The master file grows as I see patients and prepare reports. I just
have to chat with a secretary for a couple of minutes, as it prints. No
loading documents, no typing names, no cutting and pasting.

Why numeric file names? Because I initially tried to do this in Macro
language of File Manager (too inflexible). Numeric names are at the top
of the list.

Greetings,

        I'll step out of lurk mode for a bit to share my fluffy experiences in
my 39 years.
        Milestone one.  Purchased Texas Instruments scientific calculator
programed with magnetic strips in 1977.  My engineering profs thought it
was substandard to the RPN HPs, but you couldn't play Moon Lander during
class on the HP!
        Milestone two.  1977 learned Fortran complete punch cards.  Waiting for
the COBOL folks with really big stacks of cards on the school's computer
really sucked.
        Milestone three.  1978 took COBOL to frustrate the engineering freshman
learning Fortran.  The school also installed a second computer with real
CRTs and keyboards for BASIC students (BASIC is the language of the
future, ya know!).  Took BASIC and did not do any terminal based
homework until the last day of school.  On the last day of school the
terminals were vacant so the 15 minute restrictions did not apply.  Did
all my terminal based home work in about two hours.  Why do you think
they called it BASIC?
        Milestone four.  1982 purchased an Osborn Executive with 128 k of ram
for $2395 a week before Osborne declared bankruptcy.  Should have bought
the Kaypro with 64 k.  I still have the Osborne.
        Milestone five.  I forget the year but it was shortly after the Osborne
experience that I purchase an Epson laptop with a four line display, 32
k ram and a micro cassette drive.  Programed in in BASIC.  I still have
the Epson.
        Milestone six.  July 3, 1986 I purchased a Mac Plus for $1700 with a
whopping one meg of ram.  Still have the Mac Plus.
        The first portable Mac, an Atari Portfolio, several Powerbooks and
Windoze laptops followed.
        Milestone SEVEN.  Somewhere when I was in Mac land the HP95 was
introduced.  Finally a real computer.  Never again would I nor mankind
need to be chained to a cumbersome, heavy computer.
        Milestone EIGHT.  32 megs of Mack's handiwork (soon to be 64) has
finally fulfilled my dreams of what a real personal computer is.  Avi at
D&A and Bernie Torbik also deserve credit for filling in the gaps.
        What's next?  I kind of wish I remembered more COBOL to make some big
bucks on the Y2K thing.  Nah!  The prospects of a 486 palmtop are
interesting but I think I'll place my bets on buying a couple of extra
back up 200LXs for Mack to hot rod.  Given the little bit of computer
crap I have experienced, betting on the 200LX is a sure thing.

Regards,

Colin

The appearance of 2.doc on both sides (as a `source' and as a
`destination') can lead to severe problems if the files happen to
get large.

It is *much* safer to take the extra trouble:

COPY 2.DOC+3.DOC+1.DOC  TEMP.DOC
COPY TEMP.DOC 2.DOC
DEL TEMP.DOC

which does the same thing, but doesn't run the danger of `losing'
the source file before the destination gets completed...

        There seems to be a great deal of this going about...  So why shant I add
to it?  I'm certainly not old...  barely old enough to hold gainful
employment, really.  I'm twenty one, but something of a
hacker/hobbyist/anachronist...  Hence my love of the 200LX (A wonderfully
modifyable and interface-ready machine, thanks to it's serial port and IR
port)
        Strangely, I actually do have experience with magnetic core memory...  as
an experiment, in high school, I built a working 16 bit 'storage module'...
 a 4x4 matrix of addressable magnetic cores...  the wires were threaded
onto a fretwork wooden frame, much like a chair seat, though not nearly as
large.  it was perhaps six by six by one inches, and did nothing useful,
except that with some zener diodes and debounced relays, interfaced with a
motorola 68HC11 microprocessor running a forth program of my own coding to
use the 'storage module' as a 16 bit binary counter...
        Let's just say it took me a LONG time to figure out why it wouldn't count
beyond two...  I didn't realize that memory reads were destructive!

        Speaking of the 68HC11, I still have the prototyping borad of which I
speak, and used it all through college (until I did the foolish thing and
dropped out) in my embedded microprocessor applications lab...  there it
took shape as the 'brain' of a six legged monstrosity whose design can be
found in "Robot Builder's Bonanza"... named FRED III  (FRED = Free Range
Electronic Device... it had no tether, as it was very large...)

        Anyhow, i just felt like reminiscing.  Has anyone tried using POCSAG
ddecoding software on their LX?

If you're gonna do multiple lines, just do something like:
type 1.DOC > ALL.DOC
type 2.DOC >> ALL.DOC
type 3.DOC >> ALL.DOC

It makes a lot more sense visually

I don't have time to validate it now, but you could easily write a
script to do it that way, too.

Dear All,

Okay, I'll confess, I've been working on an Outlook synchronizer. I took
gdbload and garlic and mixed it around a bit and created something that
converts the Outlook contacts folder (exported as a CSV file) into a HPLX
.pdb files. And just tonight I figured out how to use VC++ and OLE and the
CDO library so that the program will be able to read/write directly from
Outlook (instead of requiring you to import/export a CSV file) - but I
haven't had a chance to integrate this code yet.

I'm not really ready for beta-testing yet, but if you are intent on trying
something out, I have download instructions below. I sent the note below to
Al, but he's on vacation and hasn't had a good chance to try it out.

I do plan to releasing the source and making the code freeware, once it
stabilizes a bit. It's written in Standard C++ and uses STL and the native
COM support in the Microsoft VC++ compiler.

Cheers,

- Joe

> Thanks for your efforts (and please include me on your beta team ;-) )

Sure, no problem! The state of the project right now is:
1.      I currently only do Outlook -> HPLX and not the reverse (and I don't
merge data)
2.      I currently only do address book (contacts), not calendar
3.      I have (modified) versions of both gdbload and garlic embedded in
joebar.exe, since the gdbload code by itself doesn't produce a pdb file that
the OmniBook phone book program likes. Obviously, I'd rather just fix the
gdbload code, but I haven't yet figured out what magic thing makes OmniBook
phonebook unhappy.
4.      The program currently requires the user to manually export a file
from Outlook. I don't yet have the OLE automation code working to do the
export automatically.

One of the design problems I've had to face is the relative mismatch between
the HPLX address fields and the Outlook address fields. I've had to be a bit
creative about how I use the fields. For example, if the contact has a web
address, I try to fit all of the street address into Address2, and use
Address1 for the web address.

If you want something to try out, then grab
         <http://users.lanminds.com/~jsb/joebar.exe>
http://users.lanminds.com/~jsb/joebar.exe
and      <http://users.lanminds.com/~jsb/modeldb.pdb>
http://users.lanminds.com/~jsb/modeldb.pdb

and stick them in some directory x:\d1\...\dn. Then, in Outlook, do:
File (from menu bar),
Import and Export,
Export to a file,
Comma Separated Values (Windows),
Contacts (the folder where you keep your contacts info),
Save exported file to x:\d1\...\dn\contacts.csv

Then, cd to x:\d1\...\dn and run joebar.exe.
The program spews out lots of debugging output which you may want to
redirect to a file (or nul).
Finally, it will produce a phone.pdb that can be used in either the 200LX or
OmniBook 530/600/800/etc. address book programs.

If these instructions work for you, and the program appears to do something
useful on your machine, then I'll probably resend the instructions to the
200LX list.

Thanks,

- Joe

This is great!
I am always seraching for soul buddies, and here I have found them!!
A lot of old men remembering their past glories in the days of yore (read
core - We are the Core men!)
I too am an old person, being forty and something (stopped counting), I
like to sit at the mall looking at youth passing by. (read: those gorgeous
30 year olds)

As age progresses you tend to become stubborn, narrow minded and hard of
learning. That explains why we fight for dear life to keep our LX'es. They
remind us of a time when Adam Osborne and young Bill were champions giving
us the freedom to compute on our very own hardware, and Kernigan looking
like a Woodstock poster, (bet he smoked pot) and yes I still have my
original ATT Unix manuals.

I am not so old that I have lost my sense of proportions tho' - I have
always knocked the IBM PC, being much slower and dumber than a good CP/M
machine. In fact nothing beats Perfect Writer on a 10MHz CP/M machine
hooked up to a FACIT 80Hz refresh amber terminal either for speed or
functionality!!!

So I use my LX whilst biterly complaining that the world chose Bill&Big
Blue and not Adam&Garry. If only Garry hadm't been out flying his plane
when Big Blue called that fateful day...

Greatest thrill of my computing life was when I connected together two
terminals to a 6809 chip blazing away doing OS/9 at 1MHz. This setup
allowed three users to run word processing and spreadsheets at PC WP5
scroll speed at the same time. OS/9 was (stil is) a great minimalist Unix
clone. The OS/9 and 6809 combo was developed by a fairly closely knit group
so that the uC actually contained the right microcode to do useful work for
the OS. Great idea, but sadly, one never seen again in the history of PC's.
The '88 instruction set is a joke, and so is the later Motorolas. (Wait:
National did a decent chip set (160032 was it?) that had good instructions
for a Unix like OS, but as all things go they burried it during a bout of
corporate downsizing syndrome.)

But then no-one studies the machine code that a OS generates any more. And
hardware guys are shunned by the software geeks as inferior beings trapped
in silicone.
Ah to be young again! I would have travelled to Murray Hill and influenced
ATT to develop Unix into something more useful..

Geriatrically yours,
Paul Rasmussen

Beg to differ.
Alcohol really isn't such a good solvent. Especially for salts which is
what you get when electrolysis starts when the unit gets wet.
Detergent/warm water is best. You might speed up drying by imersing in
alcohol tho'.
And don't forget to clean those pressure contacts with a rubber eraser.
Nothing but good 'ol scrubbing gets rid of corrosion on tin/lead contacts.

Cheers,

Hello??
I have been playing Moon Lander on my HP calculator during statistics
class, so it must have been possible!
Besides, my HP 65 had a great app for doing real navigation. I even
reprogrammed it to do horoscopes! Took only 12 magnetic cards.
It went in the trash because it suffered from the same ailment as the CE -
batteritis!

One maniac solution is add RAM chip on your original 2MB
extension RAM board. This is the most cheapest way.

4MB model has a 2MB extention board which has a blank RAM space,
so if you can solder RAM chip it become 4MB extention board.
I didn't confirm this method but I think another expert in this
list might help you.

You don't need to go far:
Check Super for "CLK" which contains

   CLKLX  for the LX with battery indicator
   CLKAPM Ditto for computers with Advanced Power Management, such
          as the Toshiba Libretto, ThinkPads etc.
   CLKB   w/o batteri indicator

They all have date and a stopwatch (whole seconds).

What! The 68000 series? I really liked the orthogonality. You could
perform any action on any register. Same with Z80 - but I'm talking
more about the mnenonics (Zilog, NOT 8080!! which are absolute
dogswallop) than the actual instructions themselves.

Still, I formed this opinion years before I ever heard of unix or
multitasking, so I might think differently were I to reform my
opinions.

If not, then I guess we must fight to the death, for we cannot share a
universe in peace - sword against sword, fogey against fogey.  er...
technically, I'm still in my twenties - the twilight of my twenties
*sigh* - so I guess that should be sword against sword, fogey against
wannabe fogey.

Now, you guys must be talking about the line-printer version of this
game, not the arcade version, with vector graphics, a rotatable
lander, jagged terrain (lunrain?) and a close-up when you got .. close?

I've been thinking of writing a little C version of the arcade version,
starting with less features. Been done? Anyone interested?

As I said above, there is *no* connection to any other machine
(including the internet) when I am using HV.  I am not using it to view
documents on the internet.  I am using it to view local documents.  If
you still think that I'm downloading something while using HV, I would
like to know how it's happening because I have done everything possible
to make it not download anything while I'm using HV. There aren't even
any external devices or PCMCIA cards attached.


>  > During this whole process, I still have ~140K free on my disk.

By switching between Filer and HV.  Filer continues to indicate ~140K
free.  I suppose there is a small chance that between the time I press
the filer key and when filer checks the drive for free space, the files
are removed, but this seems like a remote chance.

As you can see from the step-by-step instructions that I posted for
duplicating my error, I am viewing at most two files: home.htm and the
other small .htm file.  Even if both of these were duplicated, I still
wouldn't run out of room.  I tried removing a bunch of things and now
have 300K free and I still get the problem.

I removed HV for now and I will try reinstalling it or an earlier
version sometime soon.  Hopefully that will fix the problem.

Thank you for your help.

At least I can confirm it's like that, and know of at least three other
people that has upgraded 4MB machines to 6MB just soldering a 2MB chip on
their 2MB daughterboard.

Well, this question is only somewhat LX related so please be
patient.  My wife got a new computer for school, but it has
none of the software she is used to.  I would like to transfer
some programs from our home desktop.  Both are 486/pentium types.

I'm thinking I can use the Filer on floppy trick with each
computer and a null modem cable between serial ports to move
files.  Am I close, or do I have to connect modems?  I'm
assuming a serial port connection would be faster.

Sept. 14 -- Hewlett-Packard's Portable Capture and
Communications division launches an Information
Appliance product line.

Among the forthcoming developments, Hewlett-Packard
next week will launch an HP Information Appliance product
line with a communications device for mobile users,
according to a source familiar with the project. The device
is about the size of a 3Com PalmPilot, offers a simple
solution for sending and receiving e-mail, and is not related
to the company's Windows CE handhelds, according to
the source.

Ha!  You managed to use my FAVORITE word in the English language!  My
girlfriend told me that there is a word in Spanish which means "to run
over with a car!"  Unfortunately, I don't speak Spanish, so I don't
remember what the word is.

Regarding the AHD:  There is a TSR-only version of the AHD which runs on
the 200LX.  Unfortunately, it is not system manager compliant (you have to
terminate the system to use it).  It does have a number of nice features,
however (thesaurus, anagrams, wildcard entries for use with crosswords),
so I think that it would work well for someone who mostly uses the LX
outside of the SysManager.  It also claims to work from within various DOS
word processors, but I haven't tried that.  If anyone wants to know the
exact identity of this program, drop me a line and I'll check the box.

Cheers.

Using the Collins Multilingual Dictionary, I get "atropellar" meaning "to
run over..."  Maybe that's it?

Version 3.0 of the AHD (both standard and deluxe) has a TSR mode, but like
you say, it doesn't work in System Manager.  Well, actually, it's not so
much that it doesn't support System Manager as that it doesn't support
graphics screens.  If I load the TSR before SysMan and then go to a DOS
prompt (or other text mode screen), I can pop up the TSR just fine.  Both
versions also include the thesaurus, anagram, and wildcard features.  In
addition, the AHD has a nice feature called WordHunter where you type in
part of the meaning of a word and it will give you a list of words you
might be looking for.

If you're running DOS 6.x on both of them, you could probably get by using
interlnk/intersvr (from DOS) and connecting them via a serial or parallel
LapLink cable (I forget the correct name, but LapLink cables work the same
way).

Parallel port connection's supposed to be faster than serial. I don't think
a modem-modem connection will work for you.

Start interlnk on the "A" machine (which then runs as a dedicated file
server)  and intersvr on the "B" machine which then sees the drives on "A"
and can access those files for normal DOS file operations (like copy,
rename, etc).

If you're running Win9x on either of them, the interlnk/intersvr solution
may have problems with long filenames (as would any solution using Filer).

When I had to do this once, I just started intersvr and did an xcopy to
duplicate the file system onto the 2nd machine.

I don't think this would give you as much benefit as you expect.  Most =
modems
will perform some compression on the
transmitted data.  The text format of a digest will compress pretty wel=
l.  If
it was Zip'd, it would first have to be converted
to some sort of encoded format like Base64 or UUencode before it could =
be sent
as mail.  This encoding causes the
file to GROW.  Base64 causes it to group about 50%.  Also the encoded f=
ormat of
the ZIP'd file won't compress well,
if at all, by the modem.

I think the encoding growth and lack of modem compression on already co=
mpressed
files will eliminate most
of the benefits you would achive by Ziping the file.

The 80186 processor can not run any version of windows in standard mode.
So, the LX can only run REAL-MODE compatible apps in windows.  As far as I
understand, there is no difference in that respect between win 2.03 and win
3.0, except that win 3.0 has more built in apps.  So the answer to your
question is:  MS works for Win cannot run on the LX because it cannot run
in REAL mode.

Has anyone tried running the Win 3.0 built in apps in win 2.03?

October 1582 is when Pope Gregory changed the Julian calendar to the Gr=
egorian
Calendar
we have now.  It makes sense that HPLX wouldn't know about the older ca=
lendar
arrangement.

What is really odd is that the day before October 15, 1582 was October =
4th.
They had to
eliminate 11 days to bring the calendar back into sync with the earth's=
 seasons.

http://www.storage.ibm.com/hardsoft/diskdrdl/micro/overvw.htm

A hard drive (the magnetic, platter type) the size of a CompactFlash card
with storage up to 340Mb.

Really neat concept and I give it an ultra-cool rating for innovation, but
apparently IBM hasn't spent too much time in the real world. Small handheld
devices that are jostled and possibly dropped do not work very well with
winchester disk technology. Maybe a good backup device though.

You're right. The IBM website has size and performance specs from which
shock ratings are conspicuously absent. It is a neat concept tho.

I have the card; I now need some pointers on getting up and running.

I have a digital camera with CF, its file structure is DOS!
Slip the card in the LX, use filer to transfer images to C:.
Then delete the images from A: and I'm ready for more.
So the IBM drive should be plug and play!
Unfortunately there is no driver to view the propietary images.

The website describes the IBM drive as CF-II, so I don't know how
compatible that is compared to plain ol' CF.

What kind of camera is yours? I have a Konica Q-Mini which stores jpeg
images in a DOS file structure on a CF card.

Larry Zimmerman,

Don't know if you own it or have access but my most used emulator was CrossTalk MK4.
Included with it was a compiled "answer" script that effectively created a mini BBS. I
have an old pc at my house with one of those early hardware boards that answers calls
in voice, fax, or data mode and you can punch a dtmf code to switch from one to another
right after it answers the phone. Although its primary use is as an answering machine I
have it set up that it will take fax's and if you press the right number after you
connect it will channel the inbound call as an inbound data call. I use trusty old
xtalk4 for the "bbs" component and it has proven pretty good. I do not know if it
supports mulitple users but I know it supports call logging. Features like callback and
multiple security level may be beyond its scope. The advantage of using xtalk on your
LX would be you would also have a very powerful terminal emulator when not using it as
a BBS machine.

Perhaps your existing favorite emulator (procom, reflections, xtalk, whatever) may
already have available for it a "BBS" SCRIPT. The advantage being you already have the
executable on board and are likely familiar with many of the core features. I too
considered setting up a bbs function for my LX but mainly just for one user and a
single generic account for the purposes of being able to tell a friend or coworker
something like...Yes, I'll be out but call my number with your pc and log into my LX as
joe password zippy and you can get that file you want via xmodem even though I will be
at lunch.

I also have an old copy of a bbs program called tritel that I think is shareware. I'm
sure I'll be makin' the dust fly to find the disk but as a class "A" packrat I'm
sure I still have it. The whole program is on a 1 meg floppy and it had a pile of
features but I do not remember them.  Give me a yell off list if you're interested.

good luck!
Keith

The copy I have is pseudo-vector-graphic... without the rotating lander

Yeah, we bounced the Digital Camera idea around first thing when I found the
MicroDrive. At first it sounds great, but then at least 2 problems were
thought of.

1- The previously mentioned shock rating. I don't know about you, but the
digital cameras we have take at least as much abuse as my 200lx. We recently
had one dropped 30ft off our transmitter tower, which cracked the LCD. An
extreme example, but even a 3-4 inch drop onto a hard surface can kill most
operating hard drives.

2- Battery life. I can't speak for all cameras, but the ones we have chew up
batteries. A set of 4 lithium AA's will last about 50 pictures in our
cameras (with flash). Add a spinning drive instead of a flash card and it
will probably cut that life in half (based on PCMCIA type II flashcards vs.
type III hard drives). The AA NiMh rechargeables that came with the cameras
rate at about 10-15% below lithiums. For me, 50 pictures is a minimum, with
200 being a goal. Of course, that may be because I take my photography kinda
serious (I work at a TV station, what do you expect?).

This is just my .02 (thats 2 'useless' pennies) and IBM may have solved all
of this.

What digital still cameras I have.

At work I have the following:

Sony Mavica FD-5 (640x480, uses 3.5" floppies, .jpg format)
Epson PhotoPC 600 (1024x768, uses CF <20Mb, .jpg format)
Epson PhotoPC 700 (1280x1024, uses CF, .jpg format)

The Sony was our first camera (think experiment). The 600 is the one that
took the fall from our tower, and since we had the accessories we stuck with
Epson and bought the 700 as a replacement. The 600 still works, minus LCD so
he stays teathered to a PC to take employee ID pictures.

At home I personally own:
Kodak DC-260 (1536x1024, uses CF, .jpg format)

 They are all capable of storing pictures in .jpg format on DOS-compatible
media, a requirement I insisted upon when I bought them. Proprietary formats
and media have no place in my life, although any who like it are welcome to
use it.

Hi folks-

I'm planning on getting a large (80 or 96MB) card for my 200LX.
Checked with Marcan, and their sales rep wrote back that he wouldn't
recommend anything over 40 (or 80 at the most) because of sluggish
performance from the really large cards when used on the 200LX.

These are Simple Technology cards.  Do any of you who have the big
capacity cards have any problems with slow performance?  I thought I'd
read posts to the list that the ST cards had pretty decent read and
write times...     BTW - this is an 8MB 2x speed 200LX.

Thanks

-Peniel (Old fogey - but hey, the discounts are great!)

I have a whole collection of them somewhere, most of them nice
professional models in aluminum with real leather cases. I always
like using them but every time I go back to one I have to relearn the
techniques. I got really lucky once, an office supply store near the
university I was attending had a whole barrel full of different
models they were getting rid of, most were around 3-5 dollars and had
price stickers ten times that much. I don't know how long they had
been sitting in the back room of that store but I was glad I went in
there when I did.

It is quite feasible.
Write a lookup table holding the text strings with all the even hundreds,
tens and ones together with the amounts written as numbers.
Parse the amount by dividing it by hundreds and tens in turn, drop the
remainder and use the results as a lookup key for the correct text string
in the lookup table. Then, subtract the sum of the hundreds and tens from
the original number, and use the result as a key for looking up the ones in
the number to string table.
Concatenate all your accumulated string pieces together, and you have your
text string to put on your cheque!

(BTW if it is allowed to write out the cheque using
"$TwoFiveOhANDTwoZeroCents" the algorith could easily be made to
accomodtate any size number without growing a large lookup table. As it is,
you would require 38 entries for the amounts from $1 to $999.)

The s/w is easily programmed in 123 macro language or in any 4. gen tool
like dBase or FoxPro.

Cheers,
Paul

Yes! Yes! Yes!
The moon lander consited of various segments of the HP display being used
to simulate a spacecraft, and you pressed keys to fire its retardation
rockets. Fuel quantity was strictly limited, and the impact velocity was
shown when you landed.
Intelligent fun, much better than Space Invaders!
Ah! I loved that game. Stayed up all night watching telecasts of the Apollo
launches, and knew the escape velocities from all the planets in the solar
system by heart.

I now play golf on an oil rig in the North Sea waiting to be hired for an
impossible mission....

Lunar regards,
Paul

Okay, I'll pitch in from some of my memories.  I worked for Amdahl
(IBM-compatible mainframes) in the 80's, when Amdahl still made their own
machines, and the whole experience made me pretty cynical toward big
businesses'  "marketing" techniques.  (One reason I fell for Unix was it had
(at that time) nothing to do with IBM.)  As far as I'm concerned M$ (love
that abbreviation!) is the new IBM, doing all the dirty tricks that IBM used
to do, and they'll probably get away with it too.  I wonder if IBM now
regret their decision too?

I remember hours reading "core" dumps of MVS (IBM OS) on huge stacks of
paper, and mentally translating the machine code to 370/assembler
instructions.  I also fixed a lot of MVS bugs by zapping the machine code.
Before 1987, you could read the MVS source code on microfiche, but now all
that OS code - even on the "Personal" Computer! - is proprietary, and only
the grey men know what's really in it.  For that matter, does anyone really
know what's in the HP200LX DOS?

I have a Sandisk 85Mb card. The only delay I ever have is each morning when
I first turn the unit on. After the calendar pops it's daily greeting up and
I close it, I usually go into filer. I get a 5-10 sec. delay while it reads
the card. Any calls or writes to the card during the rest of the day happen
at the same speed as my 10/20Mb ACE card or my C: drive, what I would
consider normal speed. This is on a standard 200lx 4mb. This delay also
happens if I use the palmtop with the card removed, then insert the card and
try to use it which is why I try to use an external modem.

Mike, as I said, I believe you run out of storage on disk
while downloading web documents. The fact that you see _after_
the session 140k means little, since these files are temporary
and are deleted when you finish the session.

     I used to play lunar lander on my ND812. It loaded nicely from paper
     tape. The Nuclear Data machine was a mini computer with paper tape,
     2.5 mb 14"disks, and core memory. This unit was also sold under the
     Bunker-Ramo name. I was told that this model was the computer model
     that controlled operations at Three Mile Island... It was also used
     with early electronic cash registers.

Yes! Yes! Yes!
The moon lander consited of various segments of the HP display being used
to simulate a spacecraft, and you pressed keys to fire its retardation
rockets. Fuel quantity was strictly limited, and the impact velocity was
shown when you landed.
Intelligent fun, much better than Space Invaders!
Ah! I loved that game. Stayed up all night watching telecasts of the Apollo
launches, and knew the escape velocities from all the planets in the solar
system by heart.

I now play golf on an oil rig in the North Sea waiting to be hired for an
impossible mission....

Lunar regards,
Paul

Can anyone give any opinion on which would be better to get, the 40 Meg
flash card on sale at Marcan for $159, or a compact 48 simple technologies
card for $230-240?  Is the extra 8 megs worth the $60-70?

What are the differences in the cards?  I believe one is standard, and one
is compact.

Hi,

I've put up the three best midi files I've found on the web (out of
well over a hundred I've listened to). They sound OK with lxmidi.

        http://www.cs.monash.edu.au/~bren/midi.html

There's also a couple of little tunes of my own. <g>

The ONLY downside to the large Simple Tech cards (and then only with the
160MB card, that I've seen) is that when you insert the card it has a
delay while the cardBIOS software verifies the card.  Other than that,
it's extremely fast (nearly as fast as the built-in C: drive), low power,
large (of course!), and has a five year warranty.

If you can put up with a 2-3 second delay from the time you put the card
in until you can use it, go for it.

Hi Barry,

How's your card BTW?

Pope Gregory XIII on the advice of Christoph Clavius decides to drop the 11
days between Oct 4 and Oct 15th, and century years that are not divisible by
400 will no longer be leap years. (they were in the Julian calendar) --
Enter the Gregorian Calendar!!! It was a pretty short year 1582 in fact the
shortest - 354 days.

HP's calculator is based on Gregorian calendar which by definition began
Friday 15th October 1582. Hence any date you try to enter before that will
give an error.

360 day/year is so we can ignore leap years -  great idea!

Good trivial pursuit question Barry.

My question - what happened to the 11 days?

Crombie Redd

This is unusual.  If October 1582 is the year where 11 days were removed,
why does the Unix 'cal' program show it to be September 1752?  Is there
some sort of calendar controversey here on which date to use?  Are there
people on both sides of the debate?  IS IT LIKE WINDOWS CE VERSES THE
200LX?

Well, probably not.  But I'm curious nonetheless.  :)

I have an 8MD doublespeed with SimpleTech 80MB card. No problems.

Go for it!

Check the man page for cal.  It indicates that different countries adjusted their calendars on different dates.

How about a slide rule for the (Windows) computer?    I have to have my hand
up for that one!   By the way, I still rely on the HPLX, but for "ol' times
sake", it is fun to have the working computer-variety slide rule!

I saw a Data Traveler pcmcia card modem at future Shop a while back.  It
has a battery pack that one could use to reduce the power drain on a
palmtop.  And on the list of palmtops the Hp200lx and HP100lx were listed
as supported.

It also depends on which country you are in as different countries
adopted the calendar at different times. Italy, Spain and Portugal of
course followed the Pope. The French waited until December 1582.
UK waited until September 1752, Sweden 1753, Germany 1583 (catholic
states) and 1700 (protestant states) etc. Some countries like Russia,
China, Turkey and Greece only changed this century.

Historians would need a pretty comprehensive program to be able to
compare dates from different countries.

After hearing from Jorgen, it becomes clear now that the OS Wars are, in
reality, holy wars.  I never realized that there is religious
significance to the hardware/software we run but the calandar functions
speak otherwise.  The 1852 HP200lx is solidly in the papist camp while
Unix's 1752 heads up the Anglicans.  Does anyone know how far back CE or
PalmPilot or Psion go?  It will be critical to know upon who's side they
fight.

This could reinvigorate many a stale thread on the usenet.

I wonder how Umberto Eco missed all this in Foulcault's Pendulum?!?

I called the vendor some time ago about this version and she said the code
autodetects for XMS before determining the correct drivers to load (XMS or
non-XMS), and also said the 200LX would be supported, tho not in XMS mode.
Since the XMS and non-XMS drivers are separate external files, you can omit
the XMS version on the 200LX to save disk space (she said).

I think the only way to get XMS working would be to run something like
HIMEM.SYS which isn't supported for the 200LX's processor. The upgraded RAM
is just ramdisk or EMS, so XMS wouldn't work.

While the new calendar was 'invented' in 1582 and adopted by Church in =
Rome
many other
countries didn't adopt it until much later.  I think the US (or was it =
still
the American Colonies?)
didn't adopt it until the 1700s.  There are some trick questions about
Washington's Birthday
that make use of the calendar change about then.  Some country (Turkey?=
) didn't
adopt it
until the beginning of this century!

I Programmed the pre-Univac ERA 1101 and 1103 (named after ERA, but by
that time they had been bought by Remington Rand to form Univac) in
1956.

Software `tools' were absolute octal coding---there wasn't even an
assembler at first. But then, what we had learned from Harvard's
Mark I was coding before we recognized that binary (octal)
representations were useful. So absolute octal represented a real
step forward into `symbolic coding'.

Actually we punched a lot of paper tape before we ever saw a card punch.

I would also like to find this info.  HP-Pygmy Forth now has the
ability to write all or part of the graphics screen to a buffer, and
to save the buffer to a file.  The format is the same used for .icn
files, only a lot larger.  I think it's .img, but not positive...  It
would be nice to be able to convert to .pcx  8-)

The 336E would be a great modem if it ran in under 150mA without the battery
pack, IE:  When you can you use the external pack, otherwise you can run
without it.  But this is not the case, can't remember what the requirements
were but they were over 150mA.

I was looking at them when locating a modem/cable that would work with my 2160
cellphone and the 200LX.  The EXP and SimpleTech modems were the only two that
matched power requirements.

Heck, if I could find a EXP 1414C modem I'd buy it in a heardbeat, as it's
realy low power and can use the cell cable.  Oh well.. :)

I got this error attempting to run DOS programs under Win 2.03 unless I used
the SETVER from a DOS 5.0 disk.  Setverm, and another clone, both allowed
Windows to load and run, but I got the OS/2 error unless I ran SETVER.

Typical planned obsolensce, they coded stuff so that unless the version

Hello,
For those looking for a 100lx connectivity pack, our local reseller shop

Thanks, Jim  -  and thanks to the other folks who answered my question.
I'll order the 96MB card.  It'll be nice to have the extra space.

Does anybody know if it is possible to exchange files between the 200LX
and a Toshiba Laptop (310CDS), using the infrared ports? If yes, with
which software?

I usually do a daily backup of the 200LX on the Laptop, and would like
to skip the cable hassle.

Ok, I'm ready to buy Quicken Connect and start using Pocket Quicken on the 200LX.
Does anyone know if you can import data from the desktop version (6, I think) into
the 200LX.  Will it bring transaction detail or just totals?  Is there a way to
print checks from the 200LX?

Not exactly on topic, but...

It depends on your email program. I know I can do it with Unix email
clients and Nettamer but outlook is a mystery to me... Try saving the
message to a text file and see if it appears in the file.

Russ, Microspooge Outlook will _only_ forward including the full header.
 I know cuz I don't want headers forwarded and can't stop them!  If your
range of solutions could include MS Outlook, I would still not suggest
you use it.  It has too many "problems".

I believe Russ is asking specifically about WWW/LX.

Not sure if this would work, but what if you turn on full header display
before forwarding it?

Thanks to Bill Childers and "your Pal" Al I have a nifty little Lunar Lander
game that runs well on my 200LX. Although this software works like a charm,
I would like to encourage any programmers on the list to develop we LX users
a 'hardware specific' version for use on the LX. Before I got the copy from
Bill and Al I was searching the net and found many various versions (none
worked on the LX) and discovered that the Palm Pilot group has a version
written just for them and in my Newton (gasp) days I had a extermely cool
version that ran on my MP120. Is anyone up to the challenge?

AFAIK, Greg Ryan is still the president of EXEC-PC, a major ISP in the
mid-west and still one of the best BBSs around.  Don't worry about
registering it.  Greg continued to support the product for one full
year after he started refusing payment for registrations.  IMO, that's
a class act.  If you want or need any of the registered utilities, just
let me know for I still have them.  The only difference between the
shareware and registered versions was you got access to the registered
utilities.  I believe the latest version was 8.03 so if you have an
earlier version let me know.  RyBBS is indeed a great program, and I
would still be running it if it had the Internet compatibility that I
got from PcBoard.  RyBBS is so configurable you can make it look like
any other BBS or online service out there.

I was only able to find version 7.6.  I never was able to find it on the
Internet.  I pulled it off of Compuserve and that was a 1990 file.

If you've got a later version, please give me a pointer as to where to
find it or zip a copy  up for me if you can.  It looks as good as any of
the commercial products I looked  at.  Thanks also for the heads-up on
the registration information.


Got to get going.  thanks again.

This may be a stupid question, but I have been thinking about it all day, so
everyone don't laugh at me.

I typically keep my X-Jack modem in the card slot all the time. I know this
causes a discharge to the batteries. I guess I'm just paranoid about wearing
out the socket by constantly putting the modem in and out, yes I know I'm
anal retentive, but as a cop I'm paranoid about everything. My question is
as follows:

If I make a batch type file that removes the modem driver (CICfake) does the
modem still draw power from the AA's

        I know this question has been asked before, but what is the most
compact way to connect a serial mouse to the serial port on the 200?
Has anybody used a "Touchpad??" with the 200? I have kluged together an HP
5181-6642 24-10 modem adapter and a ? gender changer to make a serial
mouse work with Win 3.0 and WP5.1, but I'm looking for something more
compact.

Jeff,

Which modem driver are you using? Stefan Peichl's LXCIC has an option
(for supported modems) to turn off the modem power. I don't know if
X-Jacks are thus supported.

I'm using the X-Jack 14.4 and CICfake driver. I'll have to check out the
other driver. Does anyone know if the Megahertz modems can be turned off?

Yes. there was a cic100 replacement that could disable certain cards, I
think it was the lxcic one.

Set up the serial port on the laptop as infrared, set up the comm programm=
e
on the lx as infrared. Then use standard terminal programs on both. If I
recall, you can actually copy laplink onto the laptop and go with a =
laplink
linkup. I forget exactly how it is done, but it should be in the hplx
archives.

I have an x1144. cant be turned off. Back to your original concern of
wearing out the socket, I just cant imagine it happening. Really, Jeff,
c'mon.

I like the idea of the parent site - all those old arcade games
        http://www.plbm.com/

Do you know if the other games will run on the hp200lx? They're colour;
but might work with CGA...

Tnx David,
   That's where I started. Marcan told me that Simple Tech cards would not work in a 100LX. Then the ACE driver appeared, but Marcan wouldn't let me try before buying.

And Thanks, Lynn,
{As I note that you are going to use Stacker, I assume you need the extra
{space.
Nope. I was going to use it just because I have it. Your advice plus a chat with others convinced me to forget it.

   So I'm going to use the built in SanDisk driver on a slightly more expensive SanDisk card ($120). Once I get near $200, I start thinking of a 200LX with more RAM and cheaper flashdisk......

I guess, the question is, if a pc-modem draws significant power
from the palmtop even if no appropriate driver is loaded,
or said in other words, if the modem is not yet put into
I/O mode. My answer is: I don't know, but artists with
voltmeters sure can give the answer.

However some power should be used, because the BIOS checks for
any inserted card (reads the card information structure) and
automatically configures the card, if a memory card is found.
If no memory card is found, other drivers (if any are loaded)
may check if the card is for them.

Some modem cards allow to be powered down, after they have been
put into I/O mode. For the customer it is almost impossible to
find out, if a modem has this feature. And even if the feature
is supported by the modem, you still don't know, how many power
is saved. But I know, it feels good if you can power down a
modem, that's why I implemented it into LXCIC.

Unfortunately the new WWW/LX has no "What's new" information.
AFAIK it does now delivery confirmation for incoming email.
At least I got one email from a system with 'delivery
confirmation' switched on, and POST/LX automatically created an
email in the outbox as confirmation back to the sender.
However I did not find any switch to set up the new POST/LX
to request delivery confirmation for outgoing email.

The PCX file format is very simple compared to GIF or JPG.
Go to a bookstore and look for books about graphics or
multimedia. You will sure find one which has the PCX
specification. You could also search the web for something like
graphics file formats and PCX. I could recommend a book, where
I found the specification (which I used for my LXPIC viewer),
however it was only published in german.

Subject:      ANN midi keyboard player
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

A few months ago I made speculative noises about writing a program to
play my midi device (ie synthesiser, sound generator etc) from the
hp200lx.

My midi device has no keyboard - it connects to a PC via the serial
port.  It's about the same size as the hp200lx (it's a "GMmouse"), and
I wanted to write a program to play it from the hp200lx. That very
program is contained in the following URL, and is described below:

        http://www.cs.monash.edu.au/~bren/midi.html

PS if you want to play midi files from your trusty hp200lx, you can
use lxmidi (on SUPER) - a fantastic polyphonic program, but limited
by the PC speaker in the hp200lx. If you have a midi device connected
to the serial port, I highly recommend "gsplay" - available SimTel.
It also is brilliant.


kbmidi01.exe

Play your midi device from your PC keyboard.  In other words, if your
midi device is connected to your computer's serial port, this program
allows keypresses on your computer keyboard to play the midi device as
you were pressing the keys on a musical keyboard. Clear? Oh well, try
it anyway. You can change instruments and switch to the drum-kit.

That URL again <g>:

Ok, I'm 17 and in my last year of school.  Any advances??  I started using a
palmtop (ye old 95lx) when I was 13 :) (actually, it was the first computer
I owned) My first computer memory was when I was 5, playing a great game
called "Pod" on a 32k BBC computer.  Pod would appear on the screen, and it
would say POD can...  If you typed 'jump', Pod would jump etc.  My favourite
was 'pop'/'explode'... >:)  I've always wanted to write a lx ("portable
Pod") or Windoze ("fully-rendered, interactive, multimedia Pod (perhaps with
internet connectivity)") version of Pod...

For example add the header

Return-Receipt-To: stefan.peichl@METRONET.DE

to a POST/LX outgoing mail. This will stimulate a response from
e-mail clients (or even pop servers I think) which recognise it.

Darren,

Do you know how to set the IR port as COMx? I've searched in the Toshiba
docs, and found no reference to this.

Thanks for your previous answer,

Just got to my desk at work where I have a User Reference manual for the
XJ3144 (the cellular version of the X-Jack 14.4 modems). P. 100 describes
the "point enabler" program, SETMHZ.EXE that apparently came on a disk with
the modem which could be used to enable the modem and it has a switch "/u"
which is described as:

"Disables the modem. It removes modem information from memory and turns off
the power to the modem"

So at least for the XJ3144, it looks like Stefan's modem power-down function
may work, or possibly even by running the point enabler program. The only
question is which of the umpteen XJack 14.4 models do you have?... and if
you have a manual, you may want to check it.

You may be able to run BATTLOG to track/graph the battery level over time
and alternately disable/enable the modem several times and observe the
effect on the curve. I've never used BATTLOG myself, so I'm not sure of
details, but it seems it may be able to tell you whether there's any benefit
to using the "power down" option even if it fails to tell you the exact
magnitude of the difference.

Is anyone in a position to post a comparison of the various free-form

information contained in this stack of notes on my desk which do not fit in
my phone books and do not yet deserve their own category in my notetaker
database. I am considering the following:

Flexpad v2.2, 1997
Notepad v1.10beta (notepad.txt claims v1.9), Jan 1994
FDB -  freeform database (freeware) dec 1994
Instant Recall v1.5, 1986
built in MEMO and use the text search capability
Ask Sam & Info Select  (already reviewed on this newsgroup).

I do not think I need the PIM capabilities, but would be interested in your
opinions and usage.

Un fortunately I don't have the manual or the disk. I bought the modem as
used. Do you happen to have the disk where you could email me a copy?

I have been on a 160MB card since June - no problems. It is
the fastest card I had yet! He probably is not selling
anything like that, so he is feeding some fear...?

That is what I use (and sell) Simple Tech 160MB.

Look at Telix' HOST and something called TinyBBS. I have not
been able to find tinybbs for some time, and I am not sure
anymore if the name is right.

I checked here, just a simtel place that was handy:
http://src.doc.is.ac.uk/computing/systemcollections/simtel/msdos/bbs
and found some names of small BBS that sounded familiar from
waaaaaay back... But I really do not know if these will run on
palmtops!

 d5pro210.zip 553,486 Delta-5 v2.10: Highly configurable BBS System
 PCC300.zip 250596 PC Connect BBS version 3 (utils too pccark1.zip =
(10,599)
and pcedit.zip (74,913).
 rybbs65.zip 260,207
 kbbs_40.zip 341,292
 orashare.zip 312,521

Let's see: Dates: Delta is 950308, kbbs 940602, orashare is 910130, pcc =
is
8908, and rybbs is 910713. The older it is the more chance it runs on =
palmtop!

Good luck.

Flexpad is ok, but my favorite database program is the original shareware,
PC File. I found a copy of version 7, tried it, and really enjoy it. It does
DbaseIII and Comma Delimited (plus others) and the best part is when I
emailed the creator, he said to use it to my hearts content at no charge.
The only bad thing is there's no support for it, but it comes with a pretty
thorough readme manual.

I don't know where to get version 7 on the web, but version 5 is on the
author's webpage at:

It's okay.... the display isn't exactly the greatest for the LX and you are

I went to Jim Knopf's site and could not find the database you made reference to
below. Can you be more specific in where to look for it or what it is called. By
the way, would you know where to find Instant Recall also.
TIA

Yes, David, my question concerns email with WWWLX.  I've tried
turning on full headers then doing a Forward but the copy of the
forwarded mail that gets put into my editor does not have the
full headers anymore.  I was hoping there was a command that
I was missing or something...

When you hit the main page, goto the link 'Free Lunch'. That will list out

I don't know exactly (though I did it) but I think if you look on the
Toshiba site but don't limit yourself to your particular laptop you will
find the answer.  I have a Tecra and it worked using Intellillink over
IR.  It did not work when I loaded the Win98 on it - it seemed to want
to treat the IR port as a TAPI device almost, not a COM port.

You do need to turn off all the MS InfraRed polling tuff to make it work
- otherwise the port is not available.   I thinkk I installed MS IR v2.0
drivers,and that created me a nice COM5.

Tetris. You need to get hold of VIR by Andreas Garzotto - kind of
Tetris with a twist. Designed for the palmtop (of course) and available
on Compuserve but not sure elsewhere.

Hi Russ Brooks & members,

This is how I do it!

First turn on full headers and open the message that you want to forward.
Then use export under file save it as forward.txt. Now compose a new
message to the person that you want the message to go to. From here you can
cut&paste or sent it as an attachment.

They get the full message with headers.

Smile you're on Work-Around Camera. (:-\

If your question can be "find me the paragraph with these words",
you may be able to use MaxFind. It searches text files with and/or
combinations of words and allows the proximity to be a paragraph.
A DOS command line utility, ala FIND or grep.
On Simtel:
maxfnd33.zip    33K  96/04/04  Search files for multiple strings,many options

Would there be an AT modem command that would power it down?

Try

http://www.wotsit.org/

     If that dosen't help, I've got a bunch of files purporting to explain
the format.  I could dig them out, dust them off, and e-mail them to you,
but I think that site has more than I do.

Re: FLUFF: Re: Age

Built a kit using the Fairchild F8, cause the choices were 8080, 6800,

That left the F8.

Re:  Magnetic core, bought a board to hook up to the F8 to provide non-

     For some things it's great, but for this use it is more of a surfactant
allowing a greater wetting action without leaving a residue.  Use a small

Re:  200LX pictures

200LX    GIF     35488
200LX    GIF    146994
200LX    GIF     14471

    And for funzies, I put my 200LX on my scanner and....  256 colors,
ook, HP may do some thing well, but their palette selections...  16M
colors, looks okay but for aliasing on the screen area.

<geek trivia>
Does anyone know the 200LX screen refresh rate?
The LCD response time?
</geek trivia>

     Averaged 16 scans to reduce the noise.  Looking pretty good now.
Then I looked at the file size.  Oops.  Better make it a JPEG.

Re:  Neat 200LX ideas

     A while back, someone thought to get the NC descriptions for the
200LX case molds and machine a case out of {insert favorite case material}.
I guess that made a dull thud.  But along a similar train of thought,
does anyone have any kind of access to the real molds?  Instead of filling
with thermosetting plastic, fill with wax, remove w/o cleaning off the fill
tubes, get some plaster of paris, and cast some nice metal, say brass.
Have it silicided and you've got a snazzy case.  Any one out there with
a pocket full of wax that could ask HP nicely for a tour?

If your Editor line in setup (Global section) has two parameters

eg: pe.exe $f $h

then when you forward or reply the editor will be launched with two
files - the $f is the message (to be forwarded or quoted for reply) and
the $h is the full headers. You then always have the full headers next
to you if you need them and can paste them in if necessaary.

David,
Have you tried a Thumbelina? It is a trackball about 2 inches square. The
thumb is used to roll the ball. I picked up a new one a few months ago for $10
at a computer show.

Pete,
I have a 2160 I used on Aerial for a while. Service area was marginal. Is that
of any interest????

Subject:      Synchronizing with Outlook
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain

Thanks to all the kind people who responded to my original request for
information.  I found that there are quite a number of people interested in
synchronizing their 200lx with MS Outlook.  After playing with several
alternatives, I have a solution that works -- sort of.  It is a kludge at
best, but it gives me the functionality that I need.

I purchased Puma's Intellisynch product -- $69.95 -
http://www.pumatech.com/intellisync_hp.html

I corresponded with Puma prior to purchasing their software and they were
very up-front.  They told me that Outlook was not supported and there were
no plans to support it in the future.  However, it did support Schedule+,
and that is how I am getting around the problem.

Intellisynch does a pretty good job of synchronizing between Schedule+ V7.X
and the 200lx.  It handles the calendar and to-do list (from the 200lx
appointment book) and contacts (from the 200lx phone book).   So, I loaded
Schedule+ from my old Office 95 CD and put it in a separate directory from
Office 97.  What I found is that once it's installed and configured, you
never have to run Schedule+.  Intellisynch does everything in the
background.

Once you have synchronized with Schedule+, you can use the Import function
of Outlook to pull the information into your Contacts, Tasks, and Calendar
folders.  You have to play with field-mapping a bit, both from the 200lx to
Schedule+ and from Schedule+ to Outlook, but it is a one-time effort.  I had
previously modified my phone book to include things such as birthday and
e-mail address, and I was able to get those mapped to the correct fields in
Outlook.

Obviously, this is not real synchronization, as I am not able to get from
Outlook back to the 200lx.  However, since my palmtop is my "master"
information repository, that is not an issue for me at the moment.  If
anyone can figure out how to do this process in reverse, please let me know!

NOTE:  If you upgrade to Outlook 98, you will not be able to do custom
mapping from Schedule+ to Outlook.  That could be a real bummer if you have
done any customization to your 200lx databases.  According to Microsoft,
this function was eliminated from Outlook 98 due to a licensing dispute with
a company called DataViz, and that the next version of Outlook will have it
back.

If anyone needs any further details, or has come up with a better solution,
please let me know!

You've got that backwards IR came first then Memory Mate.  Take a look at

Easy. Common logic will tell you that people died 11 days earlier than
they would have done if the change hadn't taken place. Hence, probably,
the shorter lifespan in these days?

At least that what many (most?) people believed. There were plenty of
threats on the Popes life.

A Letter from Lee Gopadze Senior Vice President Right of Way
Dear Subscribers,
You may have heard that Metricom is in the process of expanding its Ricochet
wireless service to new metropolitan areas around the country. It's true.
Beginning in June, Metricom began negotiations with more than 900
municipalities in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los
Angeles, New York, Phoenix, Philadelphia, and San Diego. We've already
received a warm reception from a number of government bodies, and are
encouraged by the positive response.
How can you help us expand quicker? If you hear that we are coming to an
area near you, or perhaps an area in which you have friends and relatives or
business associates, ask them to voice their support to the local city
council or municipal leaders for approval of Metricom's Ricochet network.
Ricochet is a great information-access solution for local governments, and
may benefit their local departments such as fire, police, public works and
library services.
We'll keep you posted on our progress.
Lee Gopadze
Senior Vice President of Right of Way
Metricom, Inc.

Actually, I think the sliderule has some very practical pedagogical
application.  Consider the value in learning arithmetic with logarithms
to, say a high school algebra class, with sliderules.  Pitched right
you get some novelty cache, some history of modern computation, some
numerical methods, some laboratory theory, and some arithmetic.  Now
if we could just find someone to fund the research..... ;-)

Telix became commercial some years ago and changed its name.  I chose
not to upgrade (I was a registered user of Telix), but I recall it was
not a lot of $$$.  As I recall, there was a simple host mode and a
sorta prototype BBS, but I believe the latter was called ExecHost.
The last version of shareware Telix was 3.51, and it is still available
on simtel.  Indeed, Telix was so popular, it has its own directory on
simtel.

IMHO, Telix was as good as Procomm+, and it was cheaper than QModem
(and certainly a lot cheaper than Procomm+ at the time; the non-commercial
version of Procomm couldn't hold a candle to Telix).

If you are interested in seeing the kind of support you have for it,
take a look at
   http://www.simtel.net/simcgi-bin/dosfind.cgi?telix

Is it good? There is an incrediable amount of classical midi files
around the play - but of variable quality(!)

A couple of years ago, while lecturing about the history of computers, I
borrowed two 12" (linear) rulers from students to show how you could use
them to do addition.  The reason I remember this is one guy in the front
row; his eyes got big as saucers when he saw that it worked!

I used to use {COMMO} on an Amstrad XT that had 2 x 720k flops
(no hard disk), a built in 2400 modem and a grotty LCD screen
that the HP screen S$#&t's all over.

There was an excellent script that allowed you to run it as a mini
BBS on 1/2 a 720k floppy, I kept an empty disk in the other flop
and used to access my home PC from the work 286 CAD station
and send home 123 and Wordstar files to work on in the evening.
I know, a floppy transfer would have been easier <grin> but I was
young and liked to play.

Just a thought I have the latest copy of {COMMO} now upto ver
7.5 still one of the best compact communications programs IMHO
I havn't looked around for the script, it was pretty good allowed
various
access levels protected by passwords.

Best regards to all............Liam

I still have my Post Versalog (real bamboo!). I remember tuning it up
before tests (adjust the slides for zero, adjust the tension, lubricate
with talcum powder) so it would work in the heat and humidity of Louisiana
(Go Tigers! Class of '72). It resided in a real leather case that hung from
my belt (what a geek!).

The significant lessons learned from a sliderule included the ability to
estimate, to keep track of the decimal and zeros, and to appreciate
significant figures and accuracy. I believe that the sliderule experience
has helped me do sanity checks on calculations today and not just believe
the 15 digits on the calculator display. My daughter had a hard time in
math when the teacher insisted on her performing mental estimates (Is the
answer 2, 35, or 500), but once she gained the skill, her future math
experiences were much more pleasant.

On a nostalgia note, my first calculator was a $99, five-function, 1972
Royal (with a square root button, I was king!) followed buy a succession of
HP's. My computers started arriving in the early 80's. The first was a
Rockwell AIM-65 (6502, 1K RAM, 20 character LED display, 20 character
thermal printer, Basic, Forth, and Assembler on ROM, audio tape storage)
You had to provide your own case and power supply.

The next machine was a Televideo (2MHz Z80). A group of us bought surplus
mother boards, rewrote the BIOS, built cases, and scrounged everything else
- 5 1/4 floppys, C/PM operating system, terminals, and printers. It was a
"real" computer with WordStar, SuperCalc, and dBase that served me well for
quite a few years.

I bought a NEC 8201 portable (very similar to the Radio Shack 100) as my
first entry into the "smaller is better" world - it was great for note
taking at the library!

I didn't buy into the IBM PC world until clones took over and their speed
exceeded the Televideo. I built quite a few from parts until I finally got
lazy and entered the appliance computer world of Gateway. There was a
saying "The computer you want costs $3,500." That's what I spent on my
Gateway in 1995 (tricked-out P5-133). Today, you really have to try hard to
spend that much on a desktop.

I entered the HP LX world in the early 1990's with a second hand 95LX. It
was quickly replaced with a 1 meg 100LX, and a 2 meg 200LX that has now
been upgraded to doublespeed 5 meg. So far, I have no interest in moving to
the HPC world (although I have kept a close watch on them). The HP200 lives
in my top pocket (still a geek!) and is my indespensible personal
secretary.

Ditto on your observations on the benefits of the Slide Rule.  I went
(or already was) retro during my last year at Ga Tech.  I think I bought
the very last slide rule in Atlanta - I had called every possible store,
and found only one that had a single lone slide rule way up on a dusty
shelf.  It, too, was a Post Verilog.  I learned to use it well, and in
fact used it to take my ham radio Extra class license exam - they wouldn't
let me use my calculator unless I cleared all memory, and I had a number
of utility programs I was using for school and didn't want to erase them.
During the test, one of the proctors tiptoed over to me and whispered in
my ear - "Do you want me to bring you a bucket of water over to use to
cool your slipstick in?"

BTW, I still use the belt loop from the Post to carry my HP200LX.  I
sewed a steel loop into the top of the case, very similar to that on
the sliderule case.  I just clip it to the belt loop, and I'm good to
go (at the horror of my wife, who finds this almost more distasteful
than my pocket protector!).

Ahh, nostalgia...  Thirty-odd (very odd) years ago I was also one of
those geeks with a sliderule hanging from his belt.  It was (is) a
Deitzgen (I can't remember the model) - bamboo with teflon inlays to
lubricate the slides.  Somewhere I also have a well-made no-name (also
real bamboo) and a plastic shirt-pocket circular sliderule.

All three are still around somewhere...

A business man was interviewing applicants for the position of
divisional manager. He devised a simple test to select the most suitable
person for the job. He asked each applicant the question, "What is two
and two?"

The first interviewee was a journalist. His answer was "Twenty-two."

The second applicant was an engineer. He pulled out a slide rule and
showed the answer to be between 3.999 and 4.001.

The last applicant was an lawyer. The business man asked him,
"How much is two and two?"

The lawyer got up from his chair, went over to the door and closed
it then came back and sat down. He leaned across the desk and said in
a low voice....  "How much do you want it to be?"

Al,

Good luck - even Microsoft isn't sure what all the files are and what they
do.

Keep in mind that there are four official versions on Win 95 and then there
are the individual patches. The four versions are:
(Win95 r1 the original - still and the ONLY one sold in stores)
(Win95 r2.1 the second update only available as an OEM version)
(Win95 r2.5 the current update only available as an OEM version) this one is
the closest to Win 98 and is still being installed in new systems.

Hi There- My Palmtop Friends!

I have been on this list from the beginning- I guess I was user # 2,3 or =
4
or so. Mitch knows, since he started it all! Anyway, I have hacked the =
palmtop
like crazy for many years, since I consider my HP 200LX to be my primary =
PC!
But sometimes I don't know how to solve a problem and then I send my =
question
to the HPLX list. However, it seams like my questions are either to =
advanced,
to stupid or just to un-interesting to reply to since I have (almost) =
never
received a Good Reply. I have received some great information from some =
of
you and You know who You are- THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Anyway, now I will give it One More Try:

Let's say that I am using HV 2.1 for browsing my HTML files. The problem =
is
that I have a huge collection of HTML files where one file is my Main =
file.
From the Main file, I can access all the information I want. BUT what =
should
I do if I want to SEARCH ALL my HTML files- a collection which is linked??

My first idea is to have a some kind of "GREP + SCRIPT" solution, where
a initiated search from HV 2.1 will result in a general search in the
whole HTML collection and then creating a HTML page with the search =
results.
From there, I could go to each page with a "click".

If you have any good idea/solution, please let me know!

I run PERL all the time on my 200Lx. The `Regular Expression
Search Facility' that is pretty much built into Perl makes searching
across lots of files easy.

I guess I'd (this is a rough draft, mind you) set up a searcher
that could pull the appropriate info from the sub-files and then
draft an HTML page that could be directly viewed...

Hi All,

After have been on the HPLX list from the start, I must say that we talk =
more
"shit" than ever!!! I have nothing against the "fluff" and other fun =
stuff.
But now it's to much!!! Very often I can see 1-2 screens of quoted =
material
which ends with one sentence from someone that feels they have something
important to add to an already "dead" conversation.

Not only that! But sometimes 25-30% of the messages I download are  pure
shit! Fluff here, fluff there. Come on! Is this a HP 100/200LX list or =
just
a list for jokes?

I have always liked crazy and fun stuff. But when the HPLX list turns =
into
something totally useless, should we then keep it going or - not?

Come on- give this list at least 70% serious stuff and 30% Fun (Fluff)-
I think it's a good mix. I am far from serious about life and what to do
with it! But I hate to see a good HPLX list involve in a list full of =
crap!

Regards,

Jorgen Wallgren

Questions from time to time come up on using a mouse on the 200lx.
Cirque Glidepoint Products made at one time a small touch pad for
lap-tops.  I hooked mine to the lx using gender changers and null modem
connectors until I got it working then I cut one of the lx serial cables
and cut touch pad cable.  Fasting them together I made a short(about 8")
cable off the pad.  On the first archive of palmtop list there are
several color read outs and pin read outs both for the 9 pin serial
connectors and the 10 pin hplx connectors.  The touch pad works great
with the Glidepoint drivers.  I use it on wp 5.1, ms word 5.5,
fingerpaint and DC 2.1 drafting.  If anyone has any interest in this I
can relate more of my set-up.

I, too, remember lubricating my slipstick with talc and tuning it up
before exams at Ga Tech.  I also remember having slipstick-envy of
wealthier students who had wider, longer, newer rules!

In my first faculty position, I helped design a new stat lab where we
replaced a dozen Frieden mechanical calculators (which had banks of
number buttons, and clanked along loudly) with desktop calculators with
large neon numberical displays.  They were state-of-the-art because they
had square root keys and M+ MC M- and MR keys.  I think they cost over
$400 EACH.

What a remarkable change there has been in the last 20-30 years.  I
would never have anticipated the changes in calculators and computers.

Here's what I do: look at the source of a page of html to see how they
did it! Much better than wading through a manual.

Netscape has a "source" item under the "View" menu; and HV I think you
need to "View Source" F3.

I think you have already solved your problem: search then build. How
can you get a better solution?

That's how the Lycos, Infoseek etc etc Internet Search Engines do it,
isn't it? You could even write yourself a snazzy search algorithm, for
phonetic partial matching etc etc, and rank them with a percentage rating.
Use sed or perl or awk whatever SCRIPTing language you want.


But you already knew all that, didn't you? I guess it was pointless of me
thinking that I might be able to meet your standards. Maybe someone else
can do it.

A C programming question on how to read the keyboard
----------------------------------------------------

kbhit notices when a key is pressed down; but ignores when keys are
released. It also receives multiple key presses if you hold the key
down.  This is how it seems to behave to me, anyhow.

Is there some way to read the keyboard directly, and to tell when a
key is depressed, and well as when it is released? This is for that
kbmidi program I announced - I want to sustain a note when that
key is depressed, instead of it repeating manically!

I think it's important to sustain your keys when they are depressed <g>.

I would like to know some good places to find compact flash cards to use
with my HP.  I already know about Shoresystems.

Can anyone give the names/web sites, of some places where you got a good
deal?

Thanks

I'm afraid I have to third that resolution, I like to keep
the mail coming into my box of a functional nature,
I told friend that were cc'ing reams of jokes to stop.

The internet would be a lot faster if just 25% of the
fluff traffic was reduced.

Just my tuppence worth, I joined this listserv for
information on the HP200LX, nothing else......
unless someone has a good looking sister 8-)

From the main menu in Post press add (F6).  Then M for mailbox.  Enter a
file name for the account different from your first account.  Then fill out
the server info, SMTP and POP3 .  The Login and password for the second
account.

If it's from the same ISP use the same server info.  The only difference
will be the POP3 login and POP3 password.

You can then choose which you want to download by hitting the space bar to
activate/deactivate that account before the online run.  If both are
activated (with up and down arrows to the left of the mailbox name) both
accounts will be downloaded in the same session.

Hey.

One person suggested perl.  I like perl.  I program in perl every day at
work, as part of the web site I work on.  Hoever, the version that will
work on the palmtop is painfully slow IMHO.

What I would use is awk.  Awk (another language/program from unix, but
readily available for DOS) will run much faster than perl, and pretty
much do just as good as perl for what you want.  If you give me some
info about the filenames and what you would be searching for, I'll make
a first go at it.

I got my 16mb CF (Simple Tech) + PCMCIA adapter from Buycomp about a month
ago for $112 (which includes tax and shipping). They have other sizes too,
but not all in stock. They're at www.buycomp.com.

Also have a look ar CNET (www.shopper.com) which has a nice comparative
price list for CFs and other things. All in all tho, I think Shoresystems
promises to beat any price and most people seem to like Bernie's service
even if he did leave this list in a huff.

Hi Al (&List)
Yes, your local (big) PC shop should sell serial 1 to 2 box with a
switch to direct the #1 (input/OR Output) to/from either of the other 2
Connect your HP cable + mouse to the Box#2&#3  then #1 to the PC Com1.
I use a 1 to 4 box to select the input to com2.. either 200lx (using FX)
DC20 Camera, my wife's pilot cradle or a serial input socket
If the PC shop doesn't stock it look up the phone book(s) for a PC
cable supplier
Cheers

Short answer:
Not easily.

Long answer:
The ROM BIOS of PC's receives an INT 9H from the keyboard port.  The INT
9H routine then looks at port 96 (60 hex) to find out what key action
took place.  Each key has an associated scan code.  On pressing a key,
port 96 get that scan code.  On releasing a key, port 96 gets that scan
code plus 128.  "Shift-type" keys work completely differently, but
you're not interested in thes I think.  You may be able to get the info
you want from scanning port 96, but you may have to chain into the INT9
handler.  I can expand on that a little on that if you want, but it's
been quite a while for me.1

Cheatin' answer:
You may be able to get what you want by calling the ROM BIOS routine INT
16H function 11H (get enhanced keyboard status).  It returns the scan
code and ASCII character, and whether there was a key pending or not.
So when it says no key is pending (zero flag is set), you can assume the
key has been released.  I'm not sure if this will work.2

I can't help with a comparison, but I would like to
add one to your list.  Square Notes has a free demo
version available on their web page.
http://sqn.com

It allows storing information like index cards.
Subjects can be assigned to each note.  The notes can
be sorted by subject or using a string search on all
the info in all of the notes.  If you buy the full
version ($49?) called something like SquareNotes 4.1
you get the added features of being able to have an
unlimited number of notes and to import text files
into the database.  Very usful for archiving emails in
a searchable form.

I use the full version all of the time.  My hobby is
genealogy and storing all those little bits of
information that aren't ready to go into the
genealogy database on pieces of paper does not work.
Being able to do a string search on "joseph" or
"Martin County" is very useful.  Many times I am
searching through emails sent to me by others trying
to connect their family to mine.  It saves me a lot of
time not searching through a pile of papers asking
myself "where have I seen that name before?"

I agree -but-

is there a way to prevent downloading of "Fluff" msgs *and* delete them
on the mail server?

Then anybody could decide on "Fluff" on her/his side.

This is why I maintain a separate ID for lists. When I get my mail

Does this offer any advantage over the built in Note Taker

Subject:      SETTIME - Real Question This Time
Content-Type: text

Ahem... I have a *real* question about SETTIME, now that I have the
phone numbers straight.  First, of the two numbers posted on SUPER,
it seems that the 303 number is good, and that the 202 number isn't.
Has anyone successfully used this program on their palmtop?  First,
I tried it on my desktop.  It indeed seemed to work as advertised -
it establisheda connection and reportedly changed the system time.
BUT the actual time didn't change - I'm blaming this on my OS,  since
I'm running Win95.  So next I try it on my palmtop, and it hangs up
right after the modem connects.  Requires a complete re-boot.
In fact, this behaviour reminds me of something similar that I and
others have observed and reported when trying to talk to a PCMCIA
modem using a programming language (like C or ASM).

Subject:      'Serious' vs. 'fluff' postings

 I would like to address some of the earlier posts about this topic.  I
think the messages on this list can generally fit in 4 categories: advanced,
beginner, general, and off topic/fluff.  This seems like a pretty good mix
to me.  I'm a new user to many of the features of my 200LX.  I've had mine
for over a year, but I've pretty much stuck with the built-in applications
which are the best-in-class for the industry.  I'd consider myself more of a
beginner user since I haven't 'customized' my 200LX with other programs.
I'm starting to do this now and I find this HPLX forum helpful but sometimes
less than so.
 Personally I've felt that a lot of the posts to the list have been too
deep and technical for my interests.  That opinion is based on my interests
and needs.  What do I do?  I breeze through these messages and delete them.
I can't have evrything my way.  I think that the diversity of the postings
is one of its strengths.  The HPLX community needs new users to keep it
going.  These new users will naturally ask 'beginner' questions.
 I think that the biggest problem is the large number of messages each day;
it takes a long time to go through them.  However this is an indicator that
there are a lot of HPLX users out there, especially since we probably have a
large number of lurkers.
 I hope people read take these comments with an open mind.  Both the new and
original HPLX users need each other.

Chris,

I have been using PCTime v1.22 on my palmtop for over a year. Got it
from elsewhere so not sure if this is the version on SUPER. Here is my
cfg file for the program:

___________begin pctime.cfg________________
 1-303-494-4774

 T
 1
 M
 Y
 2
______________end pctime.cfg________________

Note that I use it mostly with an external modem, no init string and at
medium speed (1200 baud). In view of the fact that you are in the same
town you should be able to just cut and copy the above cfg. There have
been some dicussions on Compuserve about problems with the program -
main thing seems to be to slow the comm speed down.

I know this issue comes up from time to time on the list, but it may
require periodic readdressing.

While most of my participation in this list has been to read postings and
ask or respond to the occasional question, I agree that a great deal of the
bandwidth could be reduced...not by reducing the occasional humor or
"FLUFF" but by reducing the excess quotations of previous messages in replies.

Look at some of the messages. How many times do we have to see tag lines or
message headers repeated, or entire messages repeated when a snippet or two
might do.

Have you ever noticed how many messages seem to consist only of full
quotations of previous messages with no apparent additions by the person
who is replying?

You cannot find the new stuf stuff bcause it is so well hidden, or is not
there at all.

Many of the members of this list talk about the value of the HPx00LX to
keep things small, portable, and useful...maybe we can think of the
messages we send in the same way.

I ran Defrag for Dos 5.0 and it worked fine.  I unhid all system files =

When I immediately created my emm200.dat file under EMM200 and changed =
my config.sys file (device=3Dc:\emm200.exe c:\emm200.dat) and reboot, I =
get a message saying my emm200.dat file contains non-continuous =

I don't know where to look next.  Any suggestions?

I agree to this extent - having a string of replies to a message that was
intended for the "masses" does create a lot of traffic. In my previous reply
(Sat 9/12) I simply stated that "I agree". Perhaps this was too simplistic.

My agreement was that we should all try to reduce the barrage of "not to the
subject" patter.

There is nothing wrong or bad about sharing thoughts that only approach the
HPLX theme. It should just be kept at a small percentage of the total
message base.

If we, myself included, could refrain from replying endlessly, the total
message base would be a lot easier to read.

Please take this a constructive criticism, not a requirement or demand.

Subject:      Re: Battery drain - 200LX - Nokia GSM Card
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi everybody!
The 200LX is a wonderful tool, but it has its quirks so I suppose it must
be female?? <G>
Anyway. To get the most of my LX, I have measured the battery consumption
during various operations, and here are the data, together with tentative
conclusions.
Battery life assumes 750mAh Nicads. For 1300mAh NiMH types multiply by
lifetimes by two.


Does the LX battery drain depend on what apps I use?

STATE          Drain   Bat.life(Hrs) Days@4hrs/dly
--------------+-------+-------------+-------------
Turned off     0.35mA      2027       85 days cont.
1st top card   25mA        30          7.5
Filer          18mA        42         10,4
Top card       70mA        11          2.7

Quirk 1.
You can see that when you close all applications leaving you with just the
top card, the power consumption is nearly 4 times higher than with just the
filer app. open. Re-entering filer reduces consumption back to 18mA.
It's not just filer that has this calming effect, most built-in apps that
don't do communications achieves the same end. Why showing the Top card
makes the LX power hungry I leave to the list to ponder. It has litle to do
with the amount of black pixels, the contrast setting has a negligible
effect. (25% variation from blank to black).


How does the setting "Enable Com port in Dos" affect battery life?

STATE          Drain   Bat.life(Hrs) Days@4hrs/dly
--------------+-------+-------------+-------------
Filer          18mA        42         10,4
DOSinFiler     28mA        27          6.7
AsAbv.W/RS232  40mA        19          4.7

This experiment revealed Quirk 2. This is actually quite nice, because it
shows that unless you actually plug something into your LX, it doesn't draw
much power regardless of the setting in the SETUP screen.

Quirk 2.
Entering a DOS session from filer doesn't increase consumption much until
you plug in a RS232 cable connected to something at the other end. Only
then does the consumption rise to twice that of the filer app. When you
quit your communication setting, the consumption remains higher than before
UNTIL YOU QUIT AND THEN REENTER FILER.


Is DataCom a "high-drainer?" and how about the IR-port?

STATE          Drain   Bat.life(Hrs) Days@4hrs/dly
--------------+-------+-------------+-------------
DataCom        25mA        30          7.5
with RS232     35mA        21          5.4
RS232 transm   79mA         9.5        2.4
With IR        20mA        38          9.4
With IR trsm   63mA        12          3

Even tho it's capable of greater speeds without data loss, the IR port uses
LESS power than the RS232 port. In fact, leaving a RS232 cable plugged in
results in a 50% higher idle consumption than setting the LX up for IR
communication.
When the two interfaces are actually transmitting data, the power peaks at
almost 4 times the idle value for the serial port, and 3 times in case of
the IR port.


How does a Kingston ATA 40MB flash card affect battery life?

STATE          Drain   Bat.life(Hrs) Days@4hrs/dly
--------------+-------+-------------+-------------
Turned off     No difference
Filer, No card 18mA        42         10,4
Filer, flash   51mA        15          3,7
Reading,flash  86mA         8.7        2.2
Writing,flash 100mA         7.5        2
Copy, flash   120mA         6.3        1.6

When you add a flash card, the consumption rises dramatically. In the case
of my Kingston card, I only get a third as much computing done. The figures
for other apps than filer are similar.


How much time can I spend on-line with my Nokia GSM PCMCIA card?

STATE          Drain   Bat.life(Hrs) Days@4hrs/dly
--------------+-------+-------------+-------------
Filer          18mA        42         10,4
w/Nokia card   43mA        17          4.4
w/comms       120mA         6.3        1.6
max(file trf) 140mA         5.4        1.3

The Nokia card emplys some clever circuitry to conserve power. When plugged
it in it only draws as much as an idle flash memory card. When the
processor inside it wakes up to do some processing however, things are a
bit different! With a fresh set of batteries you get a couple of hours of
real life on-line time, but with a weak set, you are limited to reading
your favourite newsgroups before its nightie-night.

The card draws close to 200mA when it initialises. This calls for a special
strategy to prevent data loss.
1) Save all important data on a flash card or similar device before
commencing.
2) Close all apps like Appt. and Phone to avoid corruption of open files.
3) Start filer.
4) Switch LX off.
5) Make sure GSM card is UNPLUGGED from Nokia phone
6) Plug in the card
7) Turn LX on.
With moderately fresh batteries this works 9 out of 10 times.
When it doesn't work the LX enters backup mode briefly, and you effectively
get a CTRL SHIFT ON reboot. This doesn't matter much, but can be a bit
boring.


What if I use "Terminate all" to run comms software from DOS?

STATE          Drain   Bat.life(Hrs) Days@4hrs/dly
--------------+-------+-------------+-------------
TerminateAll   31mA        24          6
w/RS232        78mA         9.6        2.4
w/o RS232      66mA        11          2.8

The current doesn't really start flowing until you plug in your external
modem. But then it flows heavily, leaving you with a total of less than 10
hrs of up time. Note how the quirkines of the RS port keeps consumtion up
even AFTER you have quit your comms app and disconnected the cable. You
actually have to quit DOS and enter filer for it to come back down again.


OK. So what does it all mean?
-----------------------------
The actual lifetime of 750mAh Nicads are much shorter than the theoretical
figures I calculated. When you exceed appx 50mA discharge rate, the actual
mAh rating falls rapidly. You wil not get 45 minutes out of a 750mAh cell
at 1 amp! I will return with actual battery life curves now that I know the
discharge rates. Meanwhile:
To maximise time on the road away from power outlets and battery stores:
1) Make it a habit to close and then open filer after having used any comms
app.
2) Wait until you actually want to transmit data before plugging in a
serial cable.
3) Use IR whenever possible
4) Use SRAM memory cards for max. battery life.
5) Unplug flash cards when not needed.
6) Run software from the C: drive, not from flash-cards.
7) Keep all data files on C:.

Final note to CE-bashers. The LX hasn't that much of an advantage over a CE
when you add comparable power hungry accessories. A HP 360LX draws 81mA
when displaying the filer app, and appx 300 when reading/writing flash
memory.
This idle consumption equals a 200LX runing a RS232 session.

it is remote from the desktop computer (25 ft, in my case...).

Yes, this will also work. I proposed another way, just a bit

I did not know Telix became commercial. Good move for such a
great program.

I did not check on the Telix directory in Simtel, but perhaps
some good soul has put together a fuller host then ExecHost?
Worth checking.

I don't understand the sentence.

I have tried to power down my CC3144 and it doesn't seem to work.  And I don't
leave the thing in there, it nukes the batteries...  I've never tested the
current (not too difficult, I made a thin plastic piece of with metal on both
sides for such operations) because I'm afraid to nuke the memory.. :)

Perhaps I should still try it though..  What I need to do first is make
another ammeter-insert with leads so I don't worry about getting the batts
disconnected.. :)

Perhaps a new version will power it down, but AFAIK it doesn't currently do
it.  Again, Stefan has found that he'll fix his CIC driver for one modem and
another stop working, seems they're pretty finicky..  (And that's probably
why most drivers are fairly large, so to work with all modems.. :)

It's the weekend; am I allowed to talk "fluff," Jorgen? ;-)  And is the
sliderule discussion really fluff?  FWIW, I have to say I sympathize with
Jorgen's concern.  This is supposed to be an HPLX group, not a geek
support group.  But as beleaguered HPLXers, I think our periodic indulgence
in general geekdom is not all bad.  We probably do want to temper it,
though.  Still, I find the signal:noise ratio in this list extraordinarily
high.

Btw, there are actually a number of very good SR sites on the net.  I
recall one called "the sliderule home page" (actually at Ga Tech, though
I just tried it and got no response :-( ) and some good stuff on some
history of computing sites.  Try yahoo.  I recall one guy made a sliderule
Java applet; that was pretty cool.

Anyway, wrt Bob's comment: my father worked for many years at IBM as a
mechanical engineer.  I remember he bought one of the first TI LED
caclulators with full log, trig, power, etc, in the early-mid 70's for
about $400 (and those are pre-18% inflation dollars!).  But a few years
before that, he was leading one of the technical training/teaching groups
in Endicott and, through much haranguing, convinced them to buy twenty or
so really good, new (Versilog?) sliderules -- also at about $400 per pop.
He never said that he was no longer in that group explicitly because of
this (thought to be) ill-timed purchase, but he kinda implied it was not
a great career advancer.  I've since rummaged for one of these ill-fated
sliderules many times, but have never come across one.  Last year I finally
bought my first, after searching my mom's house for several months to no
avail for one of Dad's old slipsticks.

I like to think that my idea for the utility of sliderules in modern
education is independent of this story, but you never know....

Thank you for your contribution.
All lurkers should come out of

If fluff is only 25% of msgs, its

Jorgen, we might as well share the contribution you are making. Jorgen
is creating a version of the HP 200/700LX SDK in HTML so that it can be
viewed on the Palmtop. We sent Jorgen a ton of HTML files exported from
our HyperWriter PALMTOP PAPER CD INFOBASE product with tables a mess.
Any technical (or other) help that can make the project easier would be
great. If Jorgen wants it, and someone else wants to help, great.

The idea is that it will be available on the 1999 PALMTOP PAPER CD
INFOBASE.

And if anyone wants to use the code I've written, I've put it all under
<http://users.lanminds.com/~jsb/outloox>
http://users.lanminds.com/~jsb/outloox - including the new super secret C++
code that uses OLE to read the contact info directly out of Outlook (without
requiring the user to perform the File, Export, ... step). One can either
directly copy the #pragma used for native COM support, or copy the
applicable function definitions out of Debug\msout85.tlh.

I'd love to finish the Outlook package myself, but (1) I have a day job, and
(2) if I tried selling anything (to recoup the time I've spent so far), I'd
get in trouble with Microsoft for "moonlighting".

Cheers,

Last alternative is always to backup your C drive, re-initialize it, and
create your emm200.dat file before adding back many of your apps. I don't
use emm200 myself, so I'm not sure if there are problems particular to
that. I used Norton SpeedDisk in order to make contiguous space for the
Times2Tech version of EMM (tremm), but then I have a 6mb unit, so the free
space should be plentiful for me.

Please, can you tell me how to go about scanning a port in C? And how
to chain into an interupt? How do I call a ROM BIOS routine? Or point me
in the right direction? :)

I've dealt with this type of stuff in assembler many years ago; but I've
never done it in C... I've downloaded the FAQ from msdo.programmer,
so I'm probably on the way.

Thanks very much again.

        I just picked up one from CompUSA on Sat. The touch pad works very
well except that tapping on the touchpad for clicking and other mouse
functions doesn't always work. The left button always works. I'm using it
on W3.0,excel 2.1,WP5.1, W5.5, and a Cad program.

I've been lucky so far on my 200lx.  However I have a friend (not on this
list) that has sent his in twice to be fixed for the broken hinge problem.
He also mentioned to them that this seemed to be a design flaw since  he
knew other people that had the problem also.  HP didn't think it was a
problem.  I like HP, but... from listening to this list it seems that the
hinge problem is very likely on any 200lx and the "replacement case" should
be a better design.

Last alternative is always to backup your C drive, re-initialize it, and
create your emm200.dat file before adding back many of your apps.

I actually did this twice, but the d: drive automatically loads files on =
the c: drive when it's reinitialized.  I must be missing something =
simple here because I've heard that people use EMM200 all the =
time...which implies that they must defrag their system to create =
continuous emm200.dat memory ... which means that somehow they've done =
something different than I've done (which implies that I'm an idiot...I =
take it back).  This has got to be simple ...but I haven't got a clue.
Help!

Hi All,

It's been good to see the responses to the "Unusual Palmtop Date for
Donald" and the sequel about the missing 11 days.  Jorgen Dybdahl gave
us a particularly illuminating answer.  Although these aspects are not
as specifically related to the Palmtop's performance as are many other
questions submitted to this list, it is amazing what information comes
out and it is certainly of value to me to find answers that have
previously eluded me.  It also emphasises the collective knowledge and
brain-power of such a group.

So thanks to those who threw a bit of light on the start of the new
calendar.  It was indeed a new beginning,  though some systems do in
fact take their date calculations much further back and adjust for the
missing days (Linux, for example).  I shall have to ask a mate here
who is a Unix guru about the 'cal' program.  He was quite miffed when
my little 100LX beat his Unix to answer the question of which day the
29th of February 2000 was in a challenge.  I suppose I should have let
him warm up the Unix and get the choke back in first.

I certainly did not intend to start a religious war over all this date
business...though I wonder if there were as many arguments about the
start of the new millennium back in 999 AD?

Regarding the other part of the question;  as I briefly understand
it, the second option in the HP LX date calculation uses 360 days per
year between dates while the third option uses 365.  The
last-mentioned simply omits leap years.  As George Coleman noted in a
personal message, the 360-day option has to do with interest
calculations etc., mainly in America, I believe, where the rate is
based on a 30-day month.  So again, it could be of benefit to know
exactly under which circumstances it is used; but I have not delved
that far.

Again, thanks for your contributions.

It's been awhile.....
I had problems with the initial setup, but a combination of close
reading of the directions, blind luck and maybe reducing the size of
the .dat file worked.

Try this;
initialize the c drive
rem out the EEMS driver, if necessary and reboot
drop to DOS
defrag the C drive(defragr.exe from an old PCmag archive on Simtel
works well)
in dos, run Makeems
run chkdsk on EMM200.dat, if good replace the driver and reboot
if this doesn't work, find someone smarter to help out (shouldn't be to
hard)
When you get it running NEVER run defrag on the C drive, or you're back
to go ;)
If this doesn't work, let me know and I'll try to jog my memory more.

I have used GDBIO many times.  I don't remember anything about needing
brackets.  You must have a working PDB file first.  And the order of
the fields in the CSV file has to match the order of the fields in the
PDB file.

I seem to remember the GDBIO command line has three parameters: the
input CSV file, the input PDB (or GDB) file and the output PDB (or
GDB) file that it creates.  The instructions will tell you which order
the parameters are in.  And don't forget to include the filename
extensions (.CSV, .PDB, etc) in the file names.

Also, I seem to remember there is a special mode for GDBIO in which it
lists the fields of the GDB file in order.  Or maybe that is the
DBUTIL programs that I use also.

A little assembly goes a long way in this case. You need to ferret out the
segment and offset of the routine you want to hook into the interrupt chain.
If you're using the small model of the compiler, then there is only on code
segment, so in assembly you just write:

mov ax,cs

and you've got that part. This you would load into memory locations
0x26/0x27 for interrupt 9

I think the offset for the routine you will use can be had in C, like:

routineOffs = (unsigned int *)routineName; /* somebody help me with this
part!! I've forgotten :-)

This you load into memory locations 0x24/0x25


To get at low memory, you declare a pointer:

unsigned int far *pInterrupt;

and assign to it a value:

pInterrupt = 0x00000024; /* this is MIX C syntax, you may need to use MK_FP
or some such

Then you can do:

pInterrupt0 = routineOffs;
pInterrupt1 = csExtractedInAssembly;

Do a read from these two locations if you want to remember what used to be
there (and you DO want to remember that).

After you've done your processing, the easiest way to execute the old
interrupt is via assembly:

lea bx,csipOldInterrupt  ;get the address of the location you stored the old
interrupt
jmp far bx               ;jmp to the location pointed to by the contents of
where bx is pointing

then the old interrupt routine will do the iret for you. You'll also need to
clean up your stack before the jmp if you entered via a standard C call
entry. So, you might want to consider getting the address to a label inside
of a routine to avoid this.

To do the processing, you will probably have to use the C inp() routine.

How much RAM does your LX have? How much space is notmally left free on C
before you create emm200.dat? And how big are you trying to make the
emm200.dat file (and emm200 users may want to know the commands you used
to build the emm200.dat file).

No to the first. You only switch back to SysMgr by terminating your
MaxDos session.

No to the 2nd. You can only be running one MaxDos session, tho I've
nested several before (I think), you can't jump between them, that's
the domain of Software Carousel.

MaxDos is just a quick and dirty way of running big apps without having
to terminate all AppMgr programs and exiting to DOS each time..and it's
free.

Yes it can be done. If you write it in assembler, you will read the BIOS
area of the computer 0040:0017 and 0018 (use a far variable) and test
the bits there. Email me if you want details.

In C you can use int 16h, function 12h, which probably just fetch the
info from the above variables into a 16 bit word in which you can test
the bits.

The PCX file format is very simple compared to GIF or JPG.
Go to a bookstore and look for books about graphics or
multimedia. You will sure find one which has the PCX
specification. You could also search the web for something like
graphics file formats and PCX. I could recommend a book, where
I found the specification (which I used for my LXPIC viewer),
however it was only published in german.

No, you'r on the right track. Most uC's have a "wake up" line that jolts
the poor processor out of bed to do something useful. In a modem this would
be connected to the Rx line via some logic or to the decoded adress in case
of a PCMCIA modem.
In that way you could switch it off, and any new AT command would wake it
up again.
It is btw the way POTS telephone sets are programmed to work, otherwise
they would draw a current while on-hook.
(That last bit might be construed as being fluffy - if so - delete as
necessay!)

I had mine fixed by HP.  Until you get it fixed, I advise refraining from
twisting the screen, since this made things progressively worse in my case.  BTW,
the replacement unit from HP is already showing two affected rows after less than
a year...

When visiting the local Radio Shack, I came accross an interesting device. I
forget the exact name, but basically it was a large rechargeable battery
pack for CD players. It gave 3v output and was described to work with "most
2AA devices". I couldn't find any information on its exact power output
(like mAh) but thought probably one of the creative souls on this list had
seen and/or played with this. Anyone have information?

I think you missed Jorgen's meaning: Please reread his
message. He is _FOR_ fluff, he is _FOR_ jokes, he is _FOR_
levity. But he comments that those parts have been taking over
this list. The brainless musings of some of us are the
majority of their postings.

That is the problem. If you read his comments he also clearly
said he would love to see a mix of 30% fluff and 70%
usefulness.

When was the last time each of us checked their own mix?

I am not 100% clear what you mean, but inside a Web document
you code a tag like this to show as an underlined link (or a
boxed link in HV):

Here is a <A HREF="http://www.dasoft.com">useful link</A> to
the Web page of D&A Software, inc.

The words "useful link" will be underlined (or boxed in HV),
and when you click on them, the browser will open the link in
that tag (http://www.dasoft.com).

Is this what you meant? I am not sure because you have it in
the topic DOCHTML.

Cathy, Jorgen is not someone I know well, but enough to say
that I am quite sure he was not singling you out. He clearly
states that he likes the fluff too, but he laments the mix,
which seems lately to go more to fluff, less to serious or
useful stuff.

I happen to agree with him, even though I have no idea if you
lately posted anything of levity! I certainly do not have
_you_ in mind as a source of fluff. I do not really know
specific names (except one name - I have yet to read anything
useful from him! And I bet another person, the wrong one will
jump up and flail his hands ;-) ...)

The issue is one of mix. I'll go one more step beyond where
Jorgen stopped: While the mix has become more and more fluffy,
the volume of postings has been growing. That is even more
disturbing to me. I pay by the minute, and I _want_ to be
here, and it just makes me incresingly uncomfortable that it
is harder and harder to justify the expense.

And once again, it is clearly not directed at you. I cannot
speak for Jorgen, but I know for myself that I keep some of
your posts because they are useful to me.

Best regards,

  Avi M. D&A

 > I'll be getting the info from Andreas soon and post it.

I got and posted the "new" stuff list in Post/LX 2.1a and
2.1b. See http://www.dasoft.com/WWW/newfeat.html. This
includes fixes and new features.

Here is Andreas' message to me:

Here are the items that are new in 2.1a and 2.1b that might be of
interest to the users:

- Added PreOnline and PostOnline to run programs before/after online
  sessions (e.g. LXCIC) (System section of POST.CFG).

- After all boxes were processed, in some situations an erroneous
  "Processing xxx..." was displayed with xxx being garbage.

- Some POP3 servers provide message IDs (UIDL) which are longer than
  70 characters and thus, not according to the specs. POST/LX can now
  handle them.

- From the menu or using ALT-I, MIME quoted printable encoding can now
  be turned on/off (alternative: 8 bit encoding).

- When replying to multipart messages, temporary files were not deleted
  for message parts that were not replied to.

- When a message was retrieved that contained a long line of 254
  characters (or an exact multiple thereof) and the last character was
  a full stop, downloading erroneously stopped at that point.

- ForceDate=1 in the SYSTEM section of POST.CFG forces sending of a
  Date: header (needed for some servers).

- Fixed bug that merged long header lines in message view

- Up to now, after an online run, the highlight was positioned onto
  the first new message. Now, this is only done if there were no unread
  messages before the online run. PlaceAtSession=1 in the SYSTEM
  section of POST.CFG restores the old mode if desired.

- Some mailers do not display all of a multipart message and abuse the
  areas they do not show for putting nonsense messages there such as
  "your mailer is not able to handle MIME", which of course confuses
  POST/LX users. POST/LX now hides those areas too, unless "show all
  headers" is enabled.

- ALT-F3 in list and message view now replies to all, i.e. the From and
  all addresses in the Cc and To headers.

- Return-Receipt-To: is now also considered as a header containing an
  email address.

- Unless Confirmation=0 is found in the SYSTEM section of POST.CFG, a
  delivery confirmation is now automatically placed in the outbox when
  a message with a Return-Receipt-To: header is received.

- When switching between inbox and outbox in message view, the position
  within the message was not always correct (sometimes *after* the msg).

- When trying to delete all old messages on a POP3 server and there was
  no .OLD file, POST/LX did not behave correctly.

- Optimized the order of memory allocation calls so that the likelyhood
  of memory fragmentation decreases and thus the likelyhood for out of
  memory errors decreases.

- If there is a In-Reply-To header in a template, the message ID of the
  message being replied to is automatically filled in.


Preview: 2.2 will support Japanese fonts.

You can definitely use two ids, one for the lists, and one for
the business email. You need to create TWO email folders in
Post/LX. (Actually, one more, you get one as default).

Another trick is to use the Freq=n parameter on the Amil
folder that receives the lists email. You simply add this line
to the section describing the lists email folder:

Freq=1

This tells Post/LX to visit that box every 1 day (i.e. daily,
this was created by a Swiss - so the english, while good, is
sometimes rather er... eh.. "complex" ;-))

Freq=2 visits every other day. Post/LX will manage the up and
down arrows on its own.

Mikhail,

Yes. Just create ANOTHER email folder (I have 8) in Post/LX
and let it go retrieve the messages in that id.

To create another email folder press F2-Add, and add an email
folder. Give it the second loginid with appropriate password,
and specify the smtp and pop3 servers (the same as the other
email folder). Then let Post/LX visit there. _DO_ give it
another name than the first folder, since this determines the
physical filename on disk - don't let mail from TWO folders go
to the same file.

Is this what you meant?

I am asking this because it is possible that these two ids
are mere aliases, i.e. really the same name email address, but
with an alias. I.e. if I write to MEPELBAUM@xyz.isp.com or to
MIKHAILSLISTS@xyz.isp.com these both go to the same logid. If
this is the case, then the POP3 mailbox will contain BOTH
messages, and there is no way to distinguish them at the POP3
level.

If you want to separate these at the _palmtop_ level Post/LX
can help you by using FILTERS. These will look at the mail
headers and if they find a keyword, that email message will be
routed to a specified folder. So:

FILTER
MIKHAILSLISTS=Lists

Where "MIKHAILSLISTS" is the string to look for and "Lists" is
the name of the folder that will contain messages from the
lists.

"MIKHAILSLISTS" will appear in the To: header of messages sent
to you from lists.

Filters are set up in SETUP.EXE, look at the menu for the
FILTERS option.

Hope this helps.

Hi, Jorgen.

I had an idea of how to solve this problem but did not have the scripting
skill.  I discussed it with Dave Kramer (on this list) about 2 years ago (I
think).  He created a program to do this using AWK, as I recall.  I had
originally planned to refine it and then post it but never had time to do
so.  I have it and if there's interest I'd be happy to make it available.
Maybe someone else could pick up the baton.

The basic idea was inspired by GSEARCH (on SUPER) but expanded to deal with
other issues (including various types of files). You specify a search
expression and the thing searches through all your files and sets up an HTML
page, then calls HV with that page as the parameter.  This displays the
search results.  Clicking on any of the files, which are hot links, calls
the appropriate viewer.  It may be HV (in the case of HTML files), it may be
LXPIC, or it may be DBView (in the case of *DB files for the built in apps).

As I said it needed some refinement but actually worked. It was somewhat
slow on my 40 Meg flashcard and my original equipment 200LX, but probably
works better on a 32 meg double speed model (I haven't tried it since I
upgraded).

Like you I have also found that current consumption with my Simple
Technology 16MB flash card goes up, in my case  by around 55mA when not
being accessed. I have also done tests with an HP 1.8MByte card and found=

that goues up by the same amount, but then "powers off" automatically if
not being accessed fro around 5 seconds which is the ideal solution. It
seems your Kingston card and my Simple Technology card do not have this
"power off" state :-(

BTW - Nobody could explain the effects when I posted my original  message=

so I guess you will not get a reply this time either.

Try using the inp function, this reads an  I/O port e.g. Value=3Dinp(96) =
or
maybe inp(0x96) if the port address is Hex

>how to chain into an interupt?
The functions _dos_sectvect and _dos_getvect are used for chaining, you
have to use  _dos_getvect to retrieve the current interrupt vector, then
use  _dos_sectvect to set the vector to be your function and withinn your=

function you must call the function returned by the _dos_getvect call. By=

doing this you have effectively inserted your function in the chain of
functions that and interrupt calls.

>How do I call a ROM BIOS routine?
Mmmm, not so sure abouit this, its been a long time, but functions
likebdos,  intdosx & intdos ring a bell. oory that's the best I can do on=

this one.

Thanks in advance!

 Subject: Why So Much "Fluff" and other Sh_t?







Hi All,

After have been on the HPLX list from the start, I must say that we talk
more
"shit" than ever!!! I have nothing against the "fluff" and other fun stuff.
But now it's to much!!! Very often I can see 1-2 screens of quoted material
which ends with one sentence from someone that feels they have something
important to add to an already "dead" conversation.

Not only that! But sometimes 25-30% of the messages I download are  pure
shit! Fluff here, fluff there. Come on! Is this a HP 100/200LX list or just
a list for jokes?

I have always liked crazy and fun stuff. But when the HPLX list turns into
something totally useless, should we then keep it going or - not?

Come on- give this list at least 70% serious stuff and 30% Fun (Fluff)-
I think it's a good mix. I am far from serious about life and what to do
with it! But I hate to see a good HPLX list involve in a list full of crap!

Regards,

Jorgen Wallgren

It's compiler-dependant, since it is obviously not part of the ANSI C
standard.  You'll have to look it up in your compiler's manual.  Which
one are you using?

Hey folks, well this mostly applies to us who were fortunate enuff to live
in the vicinity of a TZONE store but...

Dunno if they are still open but, TZONE has closed down and has the entire
store on clearance/sale.
They supposedly are moving the operation to strictly WEB/Business sales
now. The Stores are  no more.
This is what I learned upon passing the Sunnyvale store last Friday.

They are opn from 12-7pm & all software (except MS Office products) is 50%
or more off.
All Memory items are %50 or more off.

I bought a 15MB CF card for $99.00 (reg. $199).
I got a slim line Digital camera for $50, included a 2MB CF card &
CF/PCMCIA adapter.Very cool.

So if you want a CF card for your PC110, now may be a good time as you can
get them at %50 off sticker price while the TZONE "store" is still open.

They are selling the 8Mb CF card for $39.00.

There are some really good deals in the store left, last I saw on Friday.

Unfortunatley I saw no sign of any PC110 items execpt they have a few 16MB
memory modules left for %50 off so that means you can pick up a 16MB mem
upgrade for around $100 and something dollars.
The Interantional area is pretty much empty now, but they had some cool
stuff laying around teh rest of the store.
My friend gotta parallel 1.5 Syjet for like 64$.

I missed out on the last ones but the Digital Cameras,Palmtops & palm
organizers are all %50 off, damn! Coulda gotta Palm III for the hell of it.
They have display models left now/
And all sales are final cash or credit...

Hmmmm...

Thanks for the reply  Avi M. D&A

But shouldn't DOCHTML do the above automatically when it sees that its a link?
Doing is manually is cool, but just thought the program was suppose to
handle it...

Stan,

GDBIO doesn't know what to do with the .csv file I am converting.

I follow the gdbio input.pdb file.csv newfile.pdb  format but nothing
happens except error messages. Most of them mention something about
brackets missing in line xx.

Thanks Brendan,

But I thought DOCHTML was suppose to convert Memo documents into HTML
documents. I guess maybe it doesn't support links. (:-(

I have edited the plain text version to delete all the foot notes, and the
ref's to footnotes in the text.  I've broken it into two files -- one for the
intro & narative, and a second for the legal stuff.  This is easier to read on
the palmtop.

The result is a .zip file of about 200K.  It unzips to nearly 500K.

If anyone wants it, let me know.  I will NOT post it to the list.

Cordially,

Subject:      Hinge crack and other maladies
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit

Morning all;
A significant amt of postings on this subject lead
me to post this note. At first I thought this a manf
flaw, however, there seemed so many, almost wkly.

My experience is that I have had three LXs in the
last two+ years. Two brand new and one used.
I travel very frequently and extensively and I've
never had hinge or screen problems.  I sold one
of my new ones to a rustabout who works on an
oil rig with whom I spent three mths in asia last year.
I think I've seen (experienced) rugged tolerable use
of my beloved, but I've never abused her, in that I
treat her as the only copy of a disertation.

I have had the companionship of a wonderful woman
that I valued and carried a weapon for which I was
PERSONALLY responsible. That should tell it all for
others that have had this experience. With the weapon
that yor responsible for, it never leaves yor sight or care.
It doesn't get laid in sand, sun, rain, or sat on (bent at an
awkward angle).  Yes, I've slept with my weapon and
my LX when necessary. It's not an aside but a primary
concern.

Some may think this is excessive concernfor an
inexpensive tool, much like other tools. but I learned
decades ago the computer department, like yor
heart is the center of the organization and if it goes,
so goes the a/c receivables and yor payroll, etc.

Yes, I religiously floss at night (even in Penang), back
up, change my batts and insure my coffee is always
out of spash range. I would NEVER walk away from
my LX leaving it on its own, even for a second.  so
now I have the full use of my teeth and my LX without
problems.

As an aside it would be inneresting to take a survey
and see if the care of those that have had problems
and those that haven't is due to the care of a LX,
and has and correlation to its problems.

BTW: Did I leave out anything?   Is this fluff?

I know this is not specific to the HPLX line, but I also know that many
users on this list use GPS units.  Have you heard about the 'GPS week number
rollover?'  Apparently the GPS system can only handle 1024 weeks, and the
magic day is August 22, 1999.  I read in a recent issue of Saltwater
Sportsman that some older GPS units will not be able to handle the rollover,
but most of the newer ones will be able to 'auto recover.'

There is some info in Garmin's FAQ at http://support.garmin.com/faq.htm

I can do it for you. (The conversion.) I have a program that does it,
at least for smallish files. I always wanted to see if it can handle
something book-size.

Just send the thing over.

Seems I remember that GDBIO once didn't work with NOTE fields, can this
be a source of your problems? I use GDBDUMP/GDBLOAD myself, so I'm
not sure about problems specific to GDBIO.

Thanks Jim, Rick, Jorgen D, Laurence and David for your help with this
question! (hope I haven't missed anyone). Your explanations and
pointers have enabled me to understand the issues sufficiently well to
recognise a solution. Which I have found.

The comp.msdos.programmer FAQ led me to several excellent resources;
and finally to a solution in the SNIPPETS collection: It creates a C
interupt function and inserts it at INT 09h (storing, then restoring the
previous routine). The actual function simply reads port 60h, and
stores the info. It's great to have example, working code!


Several times, the SNIPPETS collection (about 3 Meg of snippets of
source code) has been the last place I've looked for solutions: but has
provided superb code in the end. It seems to have just about everything
you could imagine; in interesting, well-written code.  It saves you
banging your head against a brick wall while you reinvent the wheel (to
mix metaphors).  Highly reccommended.

The above FAQ should have a pointer to the most up-to-date version.

Thanks again!

I am a user and fan of topcard.com .  The little utility that randomly
rotates the topcard image.  I have tried to use it on my windows machine
to rotate my desktop image.  I had no luck.  The doc says that there has
to be a d:\dos\command.com .  I created one with the windows command.com
and again with the hp200lx command.com when the first did not work.   It
found the program, the image files, and even picked one.  But it did not
copy the picked file name to a new topcard.pcx or whatever name I gave
to it.  Any ideas why?  Anybody ever found a way to do this neet trick
on a windows95 machine?

It's Turbo C. But the manuals are next to useless for this type of
detailed question! Grepping the include files gives you more information!
But the compiler itself is good!

!

Yes, intdosx, intdos, int86 and some others. Though it seems to be
turning out that I'll just be hooking into an interupt so won't need
to call it explicitly.



One other point: on my laptop, it seems that every single key up and
key down (depress/release, make/break) is detected; but on the
palmtop, it is limited to 3! And for some keys, only 2.

I guess this is due to the non-standard keyboard, and I further guess that
there is no way to get deeper access to it?  Not vital, but would be nice.

That's pretty hp200lx specific and technical, isn't it?

Hi Charles,

I use Tremm (delivered with my T2T Upgrade) and regularly defrag my =
=22C=22 drive. I use a program called DOG ( I think I got it from Simtel) =
- it=27s quick, safe (so far) and runs well on the LX - fully recommended.

With regard to your .dat file, you don=27t need to initialise the disk, =
just do an attrib emm200.dat -h -s -r -a, then delete the file. After =
this, remove the emm200 command from your config.sys (?), reboot, run the =
defrag program, then rerun the utility to make the .dat file. That should =
do the trick.

p.s. I run the DOG defragmenter with an installed .dat file - nothing =
untoward has happened to me to date, contrary to what I read somewhere =
else on the list.

Phil

I have a book here: "Turbo C, memory resident utilities", by Al Stevens,
ISBN 0-943518-35-0. It comes with a source to build something like
SideKick, with full explanations. This may be what you are looking for.

I have repeated the same results as well, but hardly couldn't believe it.
However, I did not came to a final conclusion, since I also noticed that
the power consumption is pulsing a lot. I used a digital meter for it, and
I planned to use an analog meter for it to avarage the effects of the
pulses. With a digital meter, it may be that you see something different
than what actually happens, especially if the sample taken happened to be
at the moment the pulse occured.

>> When entering System Manager from boot, to Topcard, current = 35mA
>> Open Filer & current drops to 25mA (pulsing with clock)

This pulsing *could be* two things:
1) The light sleep mode occasionally interrupted by the timer interrupt
(see reference manual).
2) Filer polling the infrared/serial port to see if there is another HP on
the other end which wants to establish a connection.

>> While Filer open, even if in background, current remains at 25mA
>> Close Filer & current increases to 70mA and remains there with any
>> application open

This is the weird part. Might there be a bug in Filer, which kills the
light sleep mode while exiting? Especially interesting, since it is the
opposite of the statement in the manual, which says somewhere "to extend
battery life, do not keep filer open".

>> Return to DOS, current drops to 35mA (serial port power off) or
>> 40mA (serial port power on)

Hmm, so at exit, the system manager restores everything, including the
light sleep settings?

Jeff:

I can get you one off-list, if you wish.  Can you ftp?  I used Lynx (a
text-based browser available from most shell accounts) to visit one of
the many sites, and then used the Lynx Print to Local File command on
each section, resulting in a nicely formatted set of text files.  FWIW,
I found the www.starrreport.com site easiest to deal with, as they had
each section in one file - other sites I visited, like CNN, had each
section further broken down into arbitrarily smaller files, making
the job of downloading much more difficult.  Surprisingly, I haven't
found a site that simply lets one download the files...  I would have
thought with all the concerns of generating an internet bottleneck,
that it would have been more efficient to have folks download the thing
and read it offline.  But I guess that would have made too much sense.

You don't need to change a text file for Vertical reader to use it. I

Hi Darren-

Actually, SysMgr doesn't limit the number of icons, it limits the
number of programs that can be registered to be launched from the
AppMgr screen...

There are a few solutions.  Go to SUPER and download HDM.  Mitch has
the latest version (2.4).  This will let you launch up to 200 DOS (.exe
.com .bat) programs from an icon screen similar to AppMgr.  HDM doesn't
work with .exm programs.  I have almost all of my DOS executables set
up in HDM, and the .exm progs in AppMgr.

If you want to have more than 8 .exm progs, you'll need to use
MoreEXM.  This doesn't allow for icons though...  There's another
launcher called SMMX that is supposed to do that.  Both are available
from Thaddeus Computing's site

        http://www.thaddeus.com

and MoreEXM is also on SUPER.

That and hacking into all the web sites hosting Star's XXX-Files, to change

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

Fluff: (+ moral)
I remember reading a posting in reply to someone with a hinge crack along
the lines of "don't drop the replacement one!" after he had a new one from
HP.
I treated my 95LX like you describe, and = no problem. With my 100LX I got
a bit careless, and yes, the hinge cracked, I repaired it, and it cracked
again for a total of 3 times. With my 200 I reaffirmed my wows, and after 1
year = no crack.
The moral is pretty obvious.

Serious stuff: (+ helpfull hint)
It is clear that there is a minor design flaw in the hinge construction.
The friction designed to keep the screen at an angle acts on a tiny
x-section ABS plastic on the right.
Preventive maintenance: Lube the hinge and ignore that you no longer have
the luxury of screen angle adjustment.
After the fact remedies:
1) Get hold of some Lego adhesive. (Lego uses it to glue together their
Lego models for display purposes. They will give you some if you ask
nicely. I got mine from the Danish head office.) Go to your local pharmacy
and buy a 1ml syringe and a #20 canula.
2) Pry the broken surfaces appart. With the syringe, inject a minute
quantity of Lego adhesive along the broken surface. Then apply a blob of
glue along the front of the display where it interfaces to the hinge. Also
apply glue in the crack betwwen the circular end pieces and the display
casing. (These are the magic bits that make the case stronger) Make sure
the blobs doesn't extend to the hinge surface, or you'll glue the case
open.
3) Place the LX hinge side down (screen facing you) on a flat surface to
dry, with screen open and rubber bands applying pressure.
4) Let dry 36 hours! (glue cures fast at first, but reaches maximum
strength slowly.)
5) Use #200 sanding paper to smooth any glue spills on case.
6) Mail me a "Thank You!" note. <g>

I think the aswer may be that the filer is the app they programmed first,
and put a lot of thought into. Then the others followed. The filer polls
the serial ports and controls the power efficiently, whereas the other apps
are more of the "come as you please" variety.
Is there anyone from Lotus on this list?
Do anybody know any names?
Where is Mark Scardinia (?) ?

No, but if my theory is right, the other apps don't do as aggressive power
control.

No. To be sure of 18mA power consumption you have to disconnect the serial
cable and exit then re-enter filer.

Look at the name of the file currently being used by W95 as a "desktop"
(start,system,display...etc.).
Use Find to list all your .bmp files, then rename the Desktop file to
<filename>.bak then rename the new bitmap using the name of the file W95
is "pointed" to for it's Desktop.  When you restart Windows the new file
will be in use.  You should be able to create a batch routine
(autoexec.bat) to "roll" a selection of bitmaps into the Desktop upon
startup.

I did try MS-Word 97, with some interesting results. Overall it worked, but
Word messed up the formatting of the document. I was trying to keep it as
close to original as possible. I have since given up as Lynn already has a
text version. I personally like it in html as It's much easier to find what
I was looking for. It also works with HV (D&A's HTML Viewer for the 200lx).

Recycle those old drives!!!

If it comes with its own power supply then it may work in the HP200LX.

Then again.... probably not.


BTW: I got this from Pres Waterman on the Libretto mailing list.

Hi Paal;

THANK YOU. I will keep yor expo
I will keep it for ref and posterity.
I hope I'll never need it for myself.

I have never dropped my Lx.
Guess (I'm sure) that helps.
Not had the hinge prob either. If I
get the problem, I can understand
it's not due to neglect or abuse.

Semper Mobilis,

I believe there are two limits in the Application Manager: the number of
EXM programs you can install, and the total number of programs (or icons)
you can have listed.  I believe it's something like 8 EXM programs and 38
total programs.  MoreEXM and SMMX will help you get around both of these
problems, MoreEXM by allowing you to load as many EXM programs as you
want, and SMMX providing a menu that looks very similar to the Application
Manager.  Exkey will also help, by letting you assign hotkeys to your
programs.

All of these programs are available on SUPER.

I have a copy of the HTML version that I have been emailing to those who
request it. If you want a copy, just say so.

It's 292k zipped / nearly 1Mb unzipped.
I don't have ftp or other services running right now so email is my only
method, and I didn't think the HP-List users would appreciate me emailing it
to everyone.

If you want to view it online, there are many sources - most American news
agencies have it posted.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll give it a try.

I use Tremm (delivered with my T2T Upgrade) and regularly defrag my "C" =

quick, safe (so far) and runs well on the LX - fully recommended.

A quote during the infamous Watergate scandal:

"Yes, the president should resign.  He has lied to the American people,
time and time again, and betrayed their trust.  He is no longer an
effective leader.  Since he has admitted guilt, there is no reason to
put the American people through an impeachment.  He will serve
absolutely no purpose in finishing out his term; the only possible
solution is for the president to save some dignity and resign."

- William Jefferson Clinton, 1974.

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

Hello Group,

I recently aquired a 1000CX 8MB Doublespeed machine.

I'm trying to use the ZIP.COM utility to transfer files from the
PC to the Palmtop. The ZIPDUP.COM program was successful
with transferring ZIP.COM to the 1000CX, but transfers between
the computers do not work.

Both computers display "<error>" whenever I attempt any
transfer command (ie. Send, Receive, Directory commands)

I know the computers are communicating, because of the "<error>"
messages on both computers.

I know the speeds are correct, because when I change them I then
get a "communication error" message.

On my PC I'm running ZIP in a DOS box under Windows95. I
have also restarted my PC in DOS mode, but I get the same
results.

I also tried booting from a different autoexec.bat on the
1000CX  to prevent loading of the LapLink program.
That didn't help either.

Any ideas? or... What other connectivity options do I have?

Thanks,
R. Kinder

Do know of any one who can repair an HP200LX with one pin missing from
the serial port?  Thaddeus wants a flat rate of $125 for any repairs,
which is too much to be an option in this case.

I've also measured the high current drain after closing out of Filer.
My results showed normal drain until Filer had been opened and then
closed, at which point it shot up to >100 ma. It could be reset by
powering the palmtop down for a few seconds, terminating System
Manager, or of course reopening Filer. At the time I thought it was a
doublespeed problem (I was trying to track down why my recently
doublespeeded unit was running batteries down too fast) My 100LX did
not exhibit this high drain after a Filer close.

I've since seen postings on CompuServe to the effect that this problem
is a System Manager bug that affected normal speed and double speed
machines alike.

I'd like to know as well, since one of my 200LXes has the same problem. ..

Are you sure it needs replacement?
Many apps only use three pins, RX TX and ground, and most will work with
software handshake  using only three. I know this wasn't a direct answer,
but you might check it out, since statistically you have a 90% chance of
stil having a functional unit <G>.
IMHO $125 is cheap when you consider the time and skill it takes to take a
200LX apart (meaning I would charge at leat $150.)

Well well.

Let me tell you how I look upon it, as it seems that Europeans have a bit
different ideas about it than Americans.

1) A president is someone who has a job. It is an important and responsible
job, but it is still a job like yours or mine. It would be ridiculous if my
programming talents were judged by observing my sexual preferences and
other private things, and so I feel that the president should be judged on
its political talents. What he is doing in its private life should not
matter at all. The question should be: "has this affair had any impact on
his political decisions or talents"?

2) The whole thing is a bit hypocrit. Millions of Americans have (or had)
an "improper relationship" at least once in their life. It doesn't make
them less human though. If all people who have had an "improper
relationsship" would get fired, the nation would have a big problem.

3) The nett effect of all this media stuff is that the Americans ridiculize
themselves. Heck, the US is the country which produces 8000 porn movies a
year,  produces a lot of soap-series where "improper relations" are more a
rule than an exception. It is the country which produces shows as Jerry
Springer, which makes you feel you are a weird exception if you try to live
in a "normal" way. Now the media is establishing the idea that "even the US
president is doing this". And then, since it is the president, suddenly the
whole nation is trying to show disgust and crying for impeachment. It all
looks a bit weird (to say the least) to the more conservative countries.

4) The whole starr report occurs to me as an "improper political move". Put
someone like Starr on someone's neck for a couple of years, fishing around
in all kind of private things, and then come up with a juicy report. Would
any of us come through as a holey man? Should this be the way how political
leaders should be choosen? Are the countries with religious leaders better
off?

Just my two cents.

Frans

Help...

I've just pluged my PSU into my HP and there was a loud pop, smoke and
burning smell.

I immediatly pulled the PSU. The HP is still working off the batteries
(I've done a backup to flash). But I still have the burnt smell.

I suspect the PSU (a small switchmode thing) has gone and supplierd an
over-voltage to the HP.

Is there some sort of sacrificial component inside or is the voltage reg
the most likely to have blown? (I havn't opened the unit yet, that's the
next step). How easy are things to replace inside the little unit?

Advice and suggestions please!!!!!

The list first went up on my machine back in September 1996 and I formed
the SUPER Site not long after. I was using the old lakecumberland.com
domain at the time. (I had plans of moving back to my hometown
in Kentucky and starting an ISP and Lake Cumberland is the biggest
attraction in that area.) As the previous message showed, Palmtop.Net was
born in November 1996 and I ran the list on my server until around March
of 1997. The list software that I was running got to be too much of a pain
and I finally had to shut it down, but then Al Kind stepped in and gave it
a new lease on life with HPLX-L.

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

I don't know how you measured power consumption of the palmtop,
but please note, that the palmtop never enters light sleep, if
the unit is connected to the external power adapter. That is,
you cannot suspect the unit not falling into light sleep after
closing filer, if the unit is on external power supply.

Let me recall a message, I sent earlier to this list:

Light sleep and Deep sleep are completely independant features
of the palmtop, linked together by the Timer0 interrupt service
routine.

-Deep sleep-
may be invoked by a software interrupt at any time and switches
off VCC, CPU, DISPLAY, TIMER and HFO.

-Light sleep-
usually enabled by the keyboard interrupt 16h. Switchs only
the CPU off until an interrupt occurs. After interrupt
handling, the CPU clock is switched off again.

The Timer0 interrupt links these two features together:

It sets up a TimeOutCount which is decremented at every Timer0
interrupt (18.2 times per second) only if light sleep is
enabled. If the TimeOutCount reaches 0, deep sleep is entered.

That means, if your unit falls into deep sleep, it is very
likely, that light sleep was enabled before.

At the lowest level, light and deep sleep are controlled by
bit0 and bit2 of the system control register (Hornet index 1Eh)

You may use LXPRO to monitor the system control register and
the status of the serial port.

I had a similar prob..Make a copy..then change filename to *.doc and open
with Memo.. set up a DB with same structure and use Macro to copy data from
Memo to DB.

NB...Menu option?  will allow you to set linelength to 249.  Longer than
this will cause you to need to do manually.

Hope this helps

And congratulations Mitch, without having viewed the
tremendous S.U.P.E.R. site I would not have been encouraged
to purchase a HP200LX (albeit used).

To Mitch and all the Guys (&Gals) supporting the HPLX

Of course. I measured power on the battery leads, without external power.

This is clearly visible on the power consumption graph. Well, that is,
until filer is openend and then closed again. That's why it looks like the
light sleep feature doesn't work after filer closes.

I agree. But it seems by the power consumption measurements that the unit
"thinks" it is in light sleep mode, but it isn't actually at all. Maybe
something in Filer fiddles (while closing) with some IO-ports and wrecks
the hardware support for light sleep. I haven't seen any program which is
able to confirm that something is wrong with the light sleep mode, yet it
is clearly visible that after filer opens and then closes, the power
consumption raises dramatically, and the pulsing nature of the power
consumption changes into a steady flow. It all looks like the light sleep
feature is disabled.

>At the lowest level, light and deep sleep are controlled by

What happens if a wrong value is written to these IO ports? Or when the
whole thing gets out of sync if two writes are required and only one is
performed?

Thanks for the opening Mitch.......this guy Al Kind certainly lives
up to his name....

For example.....

A guy in Australia Email's that he is looking for a serial no for
AceFax....

A guy called Al emails " I have a redundant copy of AceFax sitting
in my office, when I get back from holiday I'll send it to you"

Yeah Yeah thinks the guy from Australia, he's on holiday!, he's going
to remember! and he's going to spend bucks to give something that
cost money away!

Today, barely two weeks since the emails took place a priority (no
less!)
post package turns up in my mail box, sans AceFax disk & Manual.

Thank you very much Al,  I hope my small gift when it turns up next
week
makes you feel appreciated.

A personal thankyou was not enough, had to make it public stop
blushing 8-)

All the best........Liam
Bunbury, Western Australia

Go find INTERLNK.EXE and INTERSVR.EXE from your old DOS v6 stuff.  Use
the /RCOPY command switch with the INTERSVR.EXE program (in a DOS box on
your w95 machine) and follow the on-screen instructions.  This all
assumes your 1000LX has the CTTY command available to you.

Good luck!

In this discussion, does "closing Filer" refer to using any of the special
tricks (ie, CLOSEFLR from SUPER) to terminate the Filer app?

Stock 200LX's normally don't allow Filer to be closed and there has always
been some speculation as to why this was so. Is this fact relevant to your
findings?

Subject:      VR Question
Content-Type: text

Well, I've been giving my VR a real workout these days, reading and
cross-referencing with the Starr report and White House rebuttals.
Since I normally use VR when reading something straight through, I
haven't had the opportunity to use the search and bookmarks very much.
Now that I have, I noticed some odd behaviour and wondered if it was
normal or not.

First, I used the search command to advance through a large hunk of text
to get to a place in the document, for example, "Betty Currie".  When I
get there, I noticed the following:  I can advance page at a time *past*
the location, but I cannot page back *before* the location - when I try,
I end up at the page from whence I started the search!

I next tried to drop a bookmark at the location that the search found,
then went to the start of the document, then advanced to the bookmark.
Then I noticed that something was really messed up - the display at
the bottom said I was on page 4, yet the percentage display was on 45%
(this was a 400+ page document).  When I advanced to the bookmark, I
kept getting an error message saying that the page mark was not correct,
and I would need to re-scan and set the bookmark again.  Has anyone
else observed this, and if so, did you come up with a workaround, or
even an explanation?

-Chris

It's too bad, however, that Mr. Veldman does not realize that the heart of
this matter is *NOT* about sex.  The sexual content in the Starr report
was just proving:
a) Clinton is a perjurer (felony)
b) Clinton abuses his power (high crime)
c) Clinton obstructed justice (felony)
d) Clinton was not dutifully performing his job.  For cryin' out loud,
   he was speaking with WORLD LEADERS when Monica was servicing him!!!

Somebody should make a Clinton HP200LX database to keep track of Clinton's

Actually while we are talking about VR, is the author still
contactable?, as I would like to register it (postcardware I
believe?) just to get the rotate option to work as I am a

Any address pointers, the program has a Compuserve

Can anyone tell me where to get the freeform database FDB mentioned
recently on the list.

I'm still looking for one, whilst I save up for InfoSelect (although I don't
really know whether I will like that one. I know everyone (mostly)
recommends it, but I haven't even seen so much as a screen shot of the
DOS version.

Anyway, FDB was mentioned as...

So, a pointer to it would be great (both SUPER and SIMTEL turned up
blank)

Many thanks,

ENOUGH ALREADY!!

"We are not amused"

This here's the palmtop group - The political discussion is down the
hall to the right.  Do we REALLY need to start a flame war about
something completely irrelevant to the group's topic??

If you are able to open up the palmtop, you can replace the connector
which can be found at an electronic shop for about 25 cent. However,
if you are not used to do this kind of repair work, maybe you have
a friend that could help you.

Subject:      HP extended warranty - 90day amnesty
Content-Type: text/plain

HP are currently offering an amnesty (in the UK not sure if it's global)
on their extended warranty for the HP200. The normal conditions are that
you have to register (and pay) for the two year extension to the normal
warranty within 90days of buying the unit.

HP are now saying that you can register any unit up to a year old and
the three year warranty is valid from the date of registration! This
gives a next day unit replacement for your faulty unit.

In the UK the cost of three years cover is 42pound (plus VAT). It's only
sold via resellers (try Matkins & Son on 0181-690-9888).

Well, I disagree here. The whole thing which leads to the "obstruction of
justice" and other "lies" is a result of this shameless interest in
Clinton's private matters. I guess I would do the same if some audience
started to ask me about my sexual behavior etc. This doesn't mean that I'm
a liar in my profession. My private life and my professional life are two
separate things. I think it is justified to hold back information if
someone (other than my wife) inquires about my sexual habits. This is
exactly what happened.

Sorry, don't know the word "perjurer".

>b) Clinton abuses his power (high crime)

Why? I don't see this abuse of power.

>c) Clinton obstructed justice (felony)

Granted, but fully acceptable if the subject is something which doesn't
belong to justice.

>d) Clinton was not dutifully performing his job.  For cryin' out loud,

So what? Sometimes I'm eating while speaking with a customer, or (if it is
really boring) reading e-mail at the same time, or, if the discussion is
lengty I might visit the bathroom in between (without letting the other end
notice). etc. And as far as I know, Clinton didn't call out while having
sex, but someone called in. Yep, this may happen, and it could also have
happenend when having sex with his own wife. Would this also have been a
reason for impeachment?

Maybe the next president should first be inquired about his sex-life, and
preferably be someone very old, or very religious, or impotent. Saves a lot
of trouble. Or install a camera connected to the internet, so we all can
follow what is going on, and we don't need anymore someone like Starr to
find out, and take potential ground for "lies" away.

That's an interesting view.  However, you've completely missed the point.
The issue is not whether or not he is personally disgusting but the fact
that he is accused of:

PERJURY
and
OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE

which are crimes, and impeachable offenses as well.  Nixon was forced to
resign on merely the latter of the two.  Perjury is a despicable crime and
IF he committed perjury, why should he not be prosecuted?  Any other
American who lied under oath would be subject to prosecution and even Bill
Clinton is not above the law.


Note I am not saying he's committed these crimes, but if he has, and that's
what the Starr report is about, he should be prosecuted whether he's the
most upright moral citizen in the country or not ...

Cheers
Kurt Hopfensperger

A perjurer is one who commits perjury.
PERJURY.  In criminal law.  The willful assertion as to a matter of
fact, opinion, belief, or knowledge, made by a witness in a judicial
proceeding as part of his evidence, either upon oath, or weather such
evidence is given in open court, or in an affidavit, or otherwise such
assertion being material to the issue or point of inquiry and know to
such witness to be false.  Black's Law Dictionary, Fourth Edition.

        Further more.  American and Americans have looked ridiculous to
foreigners for years.  The American press is so controlled that most
Americans are ignorant of this.  It's sad that the filth has reached our
countries highest office.
        Mr. Star is not on a personal vendetta, he is doing the absolute
minimum as required by law.  The sex scandal is just a cover up for the
real crimes of high treason, drug dealing, extortion, murder etc.  As
with history, the judgment of God will soon come upon this nation.
        Sorry for the off topic fluff but I like many American's just could let
this slide by.

Picked up a book on knots some time ago and found several interesting and
useful ones that I have a hard time remembering without constant practice.
(sheet bend, clove hitch, rolling hitch, bowline, highwayman's hitch and
constrictor knot come to mind).

Does anyone have a decent way of keeping knot tying instructions (pictures
preferred) on the LX? Suggestions welcomed, but simple ones are preferred.
I have text instructions, but as you can imagine, some are difficult to
follow.

Thanks.

I do intend someday to make a nice collection of knot descriptions for the
HPLX with pictures, based on the material on this site:

http://huizen2.dds.nl/~erpprs/kne/kroot.htm

However, I have not yet had the time to do so. But the graphics should
easily be copied to our precious gems, together with a short text
descriptions. Perhaps a LX database using IPEX?

If someone else than me have better time to make the collection, go ahead.
It is useful stuff that just beg to be on a full blown HP, but I probably
won't find time this year, at least.

I would just like to point out that (I think) this is a statement
Clinton himself used in the Watergate scandal (if Dan's quote is
correct).  I think Dan is trying to point out the irony of this quote in
this case, that it sounds applicable on himself.

In any case, it is always expected that, once a person decide to become
a public figure, it is to be expected that the world holds some
expectations on one's personal conduct.  In this case, a nation leader,
and also dubbed as a world leader, there is a greater expectation,
especially morally.  Clinton has went thru a great deal to discredit the
allegations made of his "improper relation" with some of the ladies
during his presidential term, which turns out to be true, as he himself
admitted.  It sheds light on his ability to face the consequences after
he chose to act in an improper manner.  My following statement may be
stretching a little, but "Doesn't it give doubt to his ability to lead
the nation?"

Of course, undeniably, he has done a fairly reasonale job during his
term (this is just an opinion).  That is probably why the polls show
that the Americans do not so much negativity towards this matter.

Try IPEX.  IPEX (I hope I'm spelling it correctly...) is an add-in for
the database that allows "connecting" a picture to a record currently
displayed in the 200LX.  IPEX works in any text screen under the PIM.

Actually, the HTML based combo of text and graphics isn't bad in regards to
an on-line knot reference on the LX. Too bad the site above has image
formats not supported by HV and are in so many pieces. But it's a
start...thanks. I'll have to dig into more knot websites.

A portable reference like this would be handy. I'm always at a loss for a
special knot on certain occasions and each of them is like an algorithm or a
subroutine with a defined structure and purpose (Object Oriented
Knots?)...guess that makes a knotter of those a KOOK <g>.

As the one who originally posted, I just wanted to say:

I had some information that I thought others would be interested in at a
time when few others had access (I work at a TV station. CBS sent me an
advance copy in HTML for our website). I thought "What a way to show off the
capabilites of the LX. I could give it out and everyone could read it (or
merely have it) on their palmtops as an etext, using some great software (VR
or HV)". I thought it would be like other posts, where those that wanted the
files would email me privately and I would email the files to them. I never
dreamed we would get into a political debate.

If you're interested in politics, great. Go down to your local City
Hall/Courthouse and get involved. Vote, get active in a political party, run
for office. But please leave it off this list.

Filer is never really closed as long as the System Manager is active. (To
verify this, try to close Filer, then open the App Manager and look at the
name under the Filer icon. The name will be highlighted, indicating that it
is still an open application. Press F8 to switch to List view, and you
will see that Filer is not "Closed" but rather "Asleep", and still
occupying 58K of active RAM.) According to the FAQ, this is so that if you
run out of disk space while using an application, Filer is always available
to let you move or delete files until you have room to save your work.

Since Filer never actually closes, we can assume that the act of "closing
it" merely exits the Filer screen and turns the comm port power off.

Perhaps in some instances the sense of the Filer being open/closed becomes
toggled, so that "closing" Filer turns the comm port *on* while "opening"
the Filer turns the comm port *off*.

A few people on this list have reported that their 200LXs suddenly became
power-hungry, and that by removing and re-installing the main and backup
batteries (after backing up all data elsewhere, of course!) they were able
to restore their palmtops' frugal ways.

Comments?

I can't speak for the HP200LX, but most desktop computers have a crowbar
(=kamikaze) device in the supply module which consists of a voltage
sensor and an SCR across the main output. If an over-voltage is detected
this device triggers, shorting the output and protecting the rest of the
computer. The fuse then blows, and frequently the supply is destroyed
and the device itself goes short. I discovered this the hard way. The
back of my computer had a switch on the back selecting 230 (standard
European voltage) or 115 volt supply, and in dusting I set the switch
into the 115 position! The resulting bang destroyed three fuses and the
mains supply. The supply module wasn't repairable, but using a
replacement everything worked perfectly

Knots and other stuff.

Is it poss to put a small .PCX in
a db file with the smart clip?
Like one for each record.

Then one can have text of knots
with a leetle picture of it.
Anyone know how to do this?

Hi, Longden.
There is a utility (MAPOT or something like that, along with a separate
MAPOTAID companion program) available on SUPER which will display a PCX
image in association with a database entry.  Sorry, I've never tried it
myself.

I've wanted to do this before (insert pictures), but I haven't found anyway
to do it with the native 200lx apps. I finally ended up writing a Qbasic
DOS-based program that would do it using .exe pictures created with Graphics
Workshop. It's been years since I used it and it wouldn't run through System
Manager. I don't think I still have the code, but it wasn't that hard.

The only machine I know of that can do this is a PSION 5. It's database
program can include pictures, though I'm not sure of the format.

Oops, as someone has mentioned, the program is IPEX, not MAPOT.

I just thought of another idea:
Make a set of PCX scans of the diagrams, and name each one 1.PCX, 2.PCX,
etc.  Then have a list of what knot each PCX file corresponds to.  Simply
use LXPIC to view the appropriate file.  If you set up the FILER.INI file
for LXPIC, you can just select the file from the Filer.

Cheers.

A question posed that I am still interested in is how does the power
drain react when using one of the utilities that modifies the system
setup files so that you can FULLY close out of filer.  The hilighted
name under filer then goes away and the 58k of active ram is returned to
the system for use.  Does this help or hinder the power drain?

I believe the program iPeX, on SUPER as
ftp://ftp.one.net/pub/users/hamm/ipex112.zip, will do exactly what you're
looking for.  It will let you put an ICN or PCX file in your database.
(Actually, you put a string in your database and the iPeX TSR displays the
specified file.)

Does anyone know how to delete built-in programs in App Manager? I was
trying to clean up my 200lx by deleting programs I don't use (laplink,
cc:mail) but all it does is beep at me.

Subject:      Semi-Fluff: The HPLX-L Mailing List FAQ
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

Welcome to the new HPLX-L Mailing List FAQ!  This document has been
created to help everybody understand a little bit more about the HPLX-L
Mailing List, and the 200LX in general.

==========================


Q. Does anybody know where I can get the new ROM upgrade for my 620LX stylus?

A. This list is for the HP DOS palmtops: the 95LX, 100LX, and 200LX.  By
mentioning a Windows CE machine, you have cursed yourself for all time.
We DOS palmtop users don't mess around when it comes to this.  Oh, you'll
get a few conventional flames, all right.  But most of us won't stoop to
such levels.  Instead, we'll go to work in more subtle, but far more
terrifying, ways.  Expect to find yourself subscribed to every free e-mail
service in the world.  Also, we will plant a secret virus in your 620LX
which will cause your batteries to wear out after only a few hours instead
of the 150+ hours that all the OTHER 620LX users are getting.  Finally, if
we can find out where you live, we will come to your home, sneak in,
replace your backlight with a high-powered argon laser, and hide so we can
watch the look on your face when you flip it on in the morning and it
scorches your head.


Q: Wow.

A. Yes.


Q: What about my Psion and my PalmPilot?  Can I get support for THOSE
here?

A. (Shaking head) You just don't learn, do you.  Helga!  Get the dogs!


Q. Whoa, whoa, never mind, I get the point.  I'll confine my questions to
DOS palmtops.

A. Good.


Q. Can I sync up my 200LX with Outlook 98?

A. Yes, with a bunch of complicated steps.  Some of our talented
programmers (or at least one of them) are working on a better solution.
Why you would want to is beyond me, though.


Q. Outlook is a quality product from the finest software company in the
world!

A. Helga!  Where are those dogs?


Q.  Okay, okay, sorry.  Is it permissable to send jokes and other
non-palmtop-related material to the list?

A.  Absolutely!  The only little detail is that you must also include your
home address at the bottom, so that we can all send you cute little
thank-you cards.


Q. (suspiciously) My home address?  I don't like the sound of that.

A. Just kidding.  Actually, many of us quite enjoy reading "fluff," as
it's called.  It makes the list more human, less cold and impersonal.
But on the other hand, it is a technical list, after all.  So don't go
overboard.  And in fact, any fluff will earn you a few enemies.  If you're
the type of person who can't stand up to a good solid flame-war, then I'd
probably avoid it.

All of this applies only to good, high-quality, funny posts.  Forwarding
hoaxes like the "Good Times" virus warning to the list will result in your
instant death.  As will big debates about the President of the United
States.


Q. Is the 200LX year-2000 compliant?

A. No.  It does not even recognize that there IS a year 2000.  After
December 31, 1999, the 200LX will cease to function altogether.  The
serial port will short out, the screen will crack, the keys will break
off, and the Hornet CPU will overheat, melting the entire palmtop into a
heap of molten plastic and silicon which could severely injure you, your
children, or any pets you might have.  Your house may burn down, and the
fumes from the melted plastic may affect the health of your entire
neighborhood for generations.  Your only hope is to send me your palmtop
RIGHT NOW and I'll properly dispose of it for you.


Q. What about the year 2000 being a leap year?

A. It handles that fine.


Q. I've heard of a "speed upgrade."  What is that?

A. The "speed upgrade" involves expensive modification to your
motherboard.  However, as is so often the case, the big companies are
ripping us off by charging huge prices for something you can do free, by
yourself.  The real secret of that expensive "double-speed crystal" is not
that it "oscillates faster" or any of that technical mumbo-jumbo.  In
fact, the crystal is merely a tiny pump which shoots a dose of caffeine
into your Hornet every now and then.  The double-speed crystal just pumps
twice as much caffeine in.  That's all there is to it.

Now that you know the secret, you can duplicate it by dunking your 200LX
into a cup of Mountain Dew or Jolt Cola every now and then.  The caffeine
will soak into the CPU and your speed will jump.  In fact, many users
report that the 200LX runs so much faster, they can't even see the display
anymore!  It's so fast the characters just flicker by before you can even
tell.


Q. I've noticed a poster named Lynn Cavendish...

A. He's male.


Q. Ah.  Thanks.  You saved me some embarrassment there.

A. Glad to help.

ROTFLMAO!!!!

However, I think Dave missed a small point on the speed upgrade.  I'll
"correct" his entry below:

Actually, inside that double speed crystal is a miniaturized version of
the supercharger that's on my new Pontiac Grand Prix GTP.  Open it up!
That explains the "buzz" some palmtops make after 2x upgrade... the
supercharger vanes need some break-in time.

Well, gee whiz...   We certainly have all sorts of political experts on
this list.  Is this special, or what?  Unfortunately, what we appear to
be woefully deficient of are people that wish to repair the system.
Rather, these moral high grounders would prefer to act like they are
still in secondary school and denigrate someone else to bolster their
own egos... Have not read one, count em, one suggestion about how to fix
the problem, just the rather pointless and aimless attacks on a person's
character.
      (makes me proud to be an American, how 'bout you...)

        Last I heard, this is an HP200LX list.  Mayhap I am too old and
fossilized to realize that this is a political discussion list and not
about palmtops...  Oh, by the way, would somebody please tell me where
the hplx users are?

P.S.  If you have some scathing reply for me, great.  Take it off the
list (since it does not belong here) and wither my nether regions
directly...

There is a program on super that lets one stick pictures into the built

I d/l the ICREPORT from the official site. It is in several

I apologize for the non-LX question, but there are so many great technical
minds on the list I thought I could get a good answer <grin>. I just
purchased from Jeff Peterson, a fellow list member, a Color CCD camera with
the name brand of NoteWorthy. It appears that th camera was actually
manufactured by Sony. The camera also includes a PCMCIA card that is labeled
Video Conferencing Capture CardBus Card and includes a cable which connects
between the phono jack on the camera and the pc card. You can run a cable
directly to a TV or VCR to see a picture. My question is:
Can I use this CCD camera for actual video conferencing? What type of card
would I need in my desktop machine?

Sorry for the bandwidth, but I do appreciate the technical minds that are on
the list.

Phil,

 Thanks for the excellent tip, which I am sure is the answer
to my problem. Unfortunately, I do not have DOS 6, and therefore
no way to access those programs at the moment.

My tests were done without the "close Filer" hack, and the high drain
showed up after a "file, exit" from Filer.  My current measurements
were across the battery terminal, and not from the ac adapter.

Interlnk and Intersvr are on the Win95 CD in a directory called olddos or
something similar. Alternatively you can get them off the web from
Microsoft. I am not certain of the URL but can track it down if you can't
find them.

Jeff,
The camera should be a standard CCD camera. You will need an interface card
for your desktop that will accept Video In to get the video into your
computer. There are many programs that can use this input to allow
videoconferencing.

Another option would be to get a PCMCIA interface for your desktop. It might
be less expensive and would probably be more versatile to go this route. Check
www.necx.com under the surplus section. I got an adapter, without any manual,
for $10 plus $4 shipping. Have not installed it, but others say it is
recognized by Win95 immediately upon booting up.

I don't think this would be a good idea without further research.  He
specifically said the camera came with a CardBus PCMCIA card.  I don't
know a whole lot about the concept but these are 32 bit PCMCIA cards
and more than likely won't work in a generic old fashioned PCMCIA
controller that's surplus.

I do know that CardBus PC slots can operate in a 16bit compatibility
mode and you can use the old PCMCIA cards in them.

A CardBus controller for the desktop must be available but I don't have
pointers.

The program is ipex.  I use it to keep a database of my grandkids, each
record with their picture (all 8 of them).  The kids love to look at it.  It
takes a little playing around to get it to work but it handles pcx pictures
fine.  I have a line in my autoexec.bat file of:
        ipex -fa:\j\ipex112
it tells where I have ipex stored.  How to set everything is described in
ipex.doc which comes with the zip file.

 The following did show  in this list(Ican'remember who sent it- hope it
helps

< have just removed Stopwatch, Datacomm, and Lotus 123 from my
APPMGR.DAT file.
Here is how I did it.

1.)  copy APPMGR.DAT APPMGR.BAK (backup)
2.)  start Datacomm (or what you like)
     and transfer APPMGR.DAT to your desktop.
     (I do this because I'm using Xtree Gold
      and it's too big to carry around on my
      palmtop.  Xtree has a HEX editor built-in.
      You could use Debug, but I'm not that good.)
3.)  Using a HEX editor (Xtree) find the first
     letter of the application you want to
     remove in the APPMGR.DAT file.
     (first letter includes & if used as a
      hot-key "tag")
4.)  Count back, using the first letter as Zero,
     ten(10) characters.
     (remember, the & counts as a character if
      it's used to underline (hot key) the first
      letter of the application title.)
NOTE: Depending on the location of the application on your desktop, you
should see (in the 11th position) a value (HEX) that corresponds to the
location of the application on your desktop.
5.)  Starting with the 10th character
     ( -10 from the first char of the application )
     Overtype (replace, not delete) the next 115
     chars with 00 HEX (zeros).
WARNING: The APPMGR.DAT file _must_ remain the same length!
ANOTHER NOTE: You won't have to put zeros in all 115 characters, it
looks like only the applications that have notes use the last part of
the "slot".
6.)  Save the new (edited) APPMGR.DAT file.
7.)  Transfer the new APPMGR.DAT file to your
     palmtop.
     (put the new file in the c:\_DAT directory)
8.)  Re-boot the palmtop.
     (a re-boot causes the Desktop to re-read
      the APPMGR.DAT file.)
9.)  Open the Desktop (MORE key, you know :)
10.) Look at the location that should have had
     the application you targeted, it should now
     have no title and a random icon.
11.) Move the selector box to this "weird" icon
     and press the delete (DEL) key.
12.) Blink a few times in relief.  :)

If you could follow my instructions (more likely problems in my typing
style) you should now be able to remove any icon / application from the
desktop.

Please remember to do a backup of the APPMGR.DAT file, and it wouldn't
hurt to back-up the entire palmtop as well.

SDK reference of the System Control Register (page 565):

 - Bit 0 (write only)
 CPU shutdown. Setting this bit stops clocks to the CPU. The
 system enters light sleep mode if bit 2 is set and will enter
 deep sleep it bit 2 is clear. This bit is set only, it is
 automatically cleared by wakeup

 - Bit 2 (read/write)
 Display ON. Setting this bit turns on the display

I was wrong by stating, that LXPRO enables you to monitor the
light sleep mode. Because Bit 0 is write only, there is no way
to check if the unit was in light sleep or not. But you may use
LXPRO to enter light sleep mode by setting bit 0 with LXPRO.

You could check if light sleep is the problem by opening
Filer, closing it and then entering light sleep with LXPRO.
If power consumption decreases, it is proven, that Filer
handled light sleep wrong.

Very interesting. I (and several others) wonder how the results differ WITH
the "close Filer" hack. I don't have any means of doing the test myself, so
if someone does that test, I'd like to hear the results.

Please don't reply to me on this email address. It'll be history after

IBM'S POWERFUL YET TINY DISK DRIVE FOR CONSUMER DEVICES
Intended for use in handheld computers and consumer devices
such as digital cameras and digital cell phones, IBM has
developed a disk drive that can store as much as 340
megabytes of information, yet weights only half as much as a
golf ball. The drive (called Microdrive) fits into a new
industry standard called a Flash Type II slot.  Industry
analyst James Porter says, "This is an engineering marvel.
However, they still have to create a new market.  I think
they will probably take some time for these to develop."
The new drives are unlikely to be used in laptop or
subnotebook laptop computers, which uses another type of
small disk drive.  (San Jose Mercury News 9 Sep 98)

Thanks to all for the suggestions. Looks like IPEX or a plain HTML file with
embedded graphics are the way to go. I was hoping that someone may have
already done the work and had a solution (ie, the pix and instructions)
already on their LX, but I guess that hasn't quite happened yet.

If I put something together in the near future, I'll let the list know and
maybe even post the final file, but it looks to be something of a chore
scanning (or otherwise cut/pasting) editing and converting potentially a
lot of graphics (I may start with my essential knots and leave the rest to
others). I'll be starting a new job next week and don't expect to have much
free time for a while, unless my new boss is an LX/knot fanatic too!

As I recall, until you use (or maybe create, I can't remember) a subset in
the native databse application the dbv program won't use the subset
properly.  I may be misremembering but I had the problem and I think that's
the reason.

This question is to those familiar with KEYBEZ keyboard layout program.
It is in ROM on HP200LX, and allows to use languages other than
English. This TSR enables a beautiful Russian script, but only on the
screen. I can't find a way to output it. Printing, faxing, emailing
results in some weird chracters, even if the screen image is OK. The
manual says that only some printers will support this feature, but
doesn't name them. Laserjet 5 doesn't support it.

Any advice?

     Interlnk/Intersvr are now my preferred programs, but they
don't always work.  Here are some suggestions.

     1) Check that the "ZIPDUP" was really successful, might be
a corrupted file.  Or, try lowering the baud rate.  Some of my
initial tries (with other comm packages) would require abysmally
low baud rates to "work".

     2) Transfer LapLink to the PC.  Try CTTY & a binary copy.  I
used the 200lx terminal program to transfer the programs and that
has worked better than the filer from the connectivity pack (which
I obtained later).

     3) There are some small DOS Kermit programs that support a
remote install.  I don't recall the specifics though.

extremely important to us). She told me "Why would you need a computer for
that? I have a bandana that shows all of the knots I need."

I hope it was a quick software thing ... I have a volt/amp meter; but not

You DON'T need a computer for that. But then, you don't have to climb that
rock either <g>.

FWIW, it's more for convenience than for hi-tech. Anymore these days, I'm
the one in the pack with the lightest load cuz I carry most of it on the LX.

Thanks for that, I work (for now) near an REI outlet. Maybe I'll check out
one of these bandanas. Now if I can only get "Hamlet" transferred from my LX

Subject:      FLUFF: DOS .nnn Question (math/filenames)

This Question *was* prompted by an HPLX note about associating file
extensions....but is somewhat "dumb".

While driving in to work dull, drizzling rain ... hypnotic windshield
wipers, etc., I started to think about associating file extensions on the
HP and THEN wondered how many possible combinations there were.

1st I thought that using DOS on our palmtops, since we were limited to
three char in the 8-dot-three format, I would take 26 to the 3rd power
would this have been the correct way, if there were only 26 possibilities
(A-Z)?.  Then, I remembered you can use numbers AND certain special
characters (but not all).

So how many possible chars. can we use in our dot-three and what does that
give us for the total # of possibilities?

--tim

PS.  I know in templating programs' output, you usually draft in "N's" for
numbers and "X's" for a field that'll accept ANY alpha-numeric; but I
thought I might get inadvertently flamed, if I posted a question re: .XXX

;)

This program is beginning to really annoy me.  Three times today while
downloading messages it has just stopped in the middle of the process.  It
will download about 14 to 17 messages and then just crap out.  It just hangs
at the message of...RETR 14 or DELE 14 for example.  Then I have to hit ESC
and delete the 13 downloaded messages because the next time I log on it will
download the same messages again.  This is unacceptable.  It has happened
while using phone lines at work and at home.  It seems to be intermittent.
I won't keep using this thing if it has this many quirks.

If your using MPG Tracker downloaded from SUPER and plan to keep using it
please keep a separate record of the fillup data (ODO, PRICE, #GAL) for
each of your fillups. I'm working on version 2 and the mpg.dat file has
changed. If you don't have the fillup data recorded somewhere else, (so you
can input it to the new version) you'll have to start over to get accurate
data. Sorry for this. It's a direct function of my programming abilities.
:} It's my intent to keep the mpg.dat file compatible from now on.

I don't use it, but are your running it from the system manager?

System manager can interfere with the serial port if it is not setup right.
Try running it from DOS, hit menu, terminate all from application manager.

As far as the folders and such, WWW/lx with Post/lx works great.

I do believe the same can be done in Goin' Postal, you just have to set it
up.  As I said, I don't use it so I can't be more specific.

It is often overlooked that directory names can have extensions as well.

Also, don't forget that you needn't use all three characters of the
extension, you can have .X .XX and .XXX, or just . (no extension).  Just
wanted to muddy the waters a bit...

Okay, I'll bite.  DOS allows 26 letters, 10 numbers, and 16 special
characters   _  $ ~ ! # % & - { } ( ) @ ' `  for total 32 characters.

There is:

10  = 1 combination with 0 characters +
321 = 32 combinations of 1 character +
322 = 1024 combinations of 2 characters +
323 = 32,768 cominations of 3 characters

For a grand total of 33,825.

Is that correct?

Jeff,

  I do not have the Win95 CD (Win95 came preloaded), however
I got the programs from a friend. I'd still be interested in that URL
though, if you get a chance to dig it up.
(Now, let's see if this works!)

Thanks!

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

The battery drain chain of events goes like this:
The actual mA values varies with battery type and state. I just indicate
High og Lo drain. On my unit this evening, high is appx 75mA whereas low is
20mA

Action                     Drain       Display
--------------------------------------------------------
Cold boot                      High        Top card
Enter filer                Low         Filer screen
Menu Quit                  Low         Top card
Comm prog                  Low         Comm prog screen
Use RS232                  High        -"-
Exit comm                  High        Top card
Enter filer                Low         Filer

Run "Closefiler"
Enter filer                Low         Filer
Exit filer                 Low         Top card
shut down filer in App mgr Low         "filer closed"
Use built inn apps         Low
Use RS232                          High
Start filer from App mgr   High        "asleep"
Start filer blue key       low         Filer screen

So we see that the Filer app sets and controls power usage if we start
Filer after having used ports or Dos apps that make the LX consume more
power.
Even when we remove Filer from memory with "closefiler" the battery drain
remains low. We may also run all built inn apps with filer out of
circulation without affecting power consumtion.
Starting filer in "sleep" mode again however, does not reset the power
saving features. Only a full restart of filer does that.

My original tips on how to make batteries last the longest stil stand. And
they are even more applicable when you use "closefiler".

Paul

Well you can use letters and numbers in any of the three positions
plus some select punctuation so minimum is 363 up to a max or around
563. In reality though aren't you able to use ANY of the extended
characters, with the exception of select punctuation? That would mean
more like 2503.

Umm...   maybe...   except 26 + 10 + 16 = 52, not 32

Perhaps 143,365?

Could you add an EXM for each of the deleted resident EXMs?

BTW:
F11 and F12 (=Fn1 and Fn2 on the palmtop) can be used as hot keys for
EXMs (disregard the error message during setup). You can also use the
combinations with Shift, Alt and Ctrl.

Enjoy,

I stand corrected.  It's pretty embarrassing to get the concept right and

It seems to me that from (bitter) experience I learned that there are
many combinations which cannot be typed at the console that happen
to be quite leagal if you can get them into a filename or extension
(for example by rather direct BIOS calls). I recall once having to
write some special purpose software to allow us to get in and fiddle
with the bits in the FAT for some files who's name couldn't be
typed in a RENAME or DEL or COPY command.

I wouldn't be surprised if just about any character in the ascii
0-255 range is legal, although obviously a lot of them can't be
typed, for example, in resonse to a prompt or on a command line.
Names can even contain blanks, although, again, they are hard to
enter.

I also wouldn't be surprised, by the way, if the answer is different
in the various versions of DOS (i.e. 6.+ vs. NT vs Win95DOS)...

Just to make it more interesting I just created a file with 3
extended characters (>127 using ALT + numpad) for the extension and
it worked fine in a dos window under OS/2. I Don't think this is just
OS/2 since the filesystem is still fat16. So that means alot more
than 52 possible combinations. :-)

If you purchase electronics through Service Merchandise, consider their
warranty extension program which they offer on purchase. They paid for
repair of my 200LX's screen crack in full without asking pesky questions
to see if it should actually be covered or not. Granted, it took almost
2 months for them to pay up, but the fact that they did at all was fine
by me.

I didn't even *think* of that -- maybe that's because my drive to work isn't
long enough (and I'm not complaining there!)

and Thanks Dr. Sands & others for helping "draw out" the word problem for
me...

Now I'm HOOKED on getting an answer!

I remember an "old hacker trick" where you used to be able to "hide" files
and directories from the uninitiated by putting an extended ASCII char. in
the file name  +/or you could also use attrib to hide it; but that's not
the point .  This was in early-DOS; though I'm sure most carry over into
"modern times" feel like I'm about to discuss pre-Cambrian man next ;-)  .


Windows(anyver), PCTOOLS and even DOSSHELL took a lot of that away, as you
could highlight a directory, even if you didn't know how to type it, and hit
enter...

Since extended ASCII give us 256 char. (?) Should we figure out which ones
*can't* we use and then do the math?

I remember off-hand !, *, ?. and .   I don't think you can use commas it
failed on a file-save on the palmtop.

Thanks for following this rabbit down the hole w/ me  :-)

I doubt that you can use / \ | % < > " ' since these all have meaning
on the command line and it would get them first. Of course if we are
talking about what is legal in the filesystem itself then you coudl
probably use all 256 characters. I think you can use ! but not the

Since my other HP200LX connects to my PC just fine, the missing pin
seems to be the problem.  $125 to repair it when I paid $190 for it
seems ..a bit much.

I tried this as a part of my testing procedure, with no effect -
current drain after exiting (File, exit) Filer was still high.

I have corresponded with several people who have measured this same
problem, and to my knowledge no one has said that they have hooked
up an ammeter and not seen the high current drain. Mack Baggette
recently posted on Compuserve that this is bios "bug" that affects
regular speed and doublespeed units alike, where light sleep is
disabled after exiting or quitting Filer.

It's possible, but the current drain measured was about 100ma, which
seems high for a comm port. Does anyone know what the serial port drain
is?

Actually, I finally attributed my poor battery life to be a
combination of the increased drain from the double speed upgrade, new
software that had me using a flash card a little more, and a couple of
poor battery type choices that did not handle the increased drain very
well. Since then I've been able to lead a pretty normal life, with no
more weekends spent with wires, batteries, and meters attached to the
outside of my palmtop, and I'm a much happier person!

I experimented with this in the hopes that it might help the problem,
but the effect was the same. It seems the key is to keep Filer open, or
to power down the HP for a few seconds after exiting or closing Filer.
I did make good use of the extra 58k of ram, though :).

As another thing to possibly check if the problem is somehow related to
lite sleep or the com port.  Possibly buddy can help?  Buddy can force
lite sleep on or off and can force on, off, or lock the com port.  Could
this program keep the battery drain down?

Danny,

I can not exactly tell you what then could happen. Learn by
the fact that there were guys who did had problems I learn
from this list earlier that the descriped method should be a
safe one. Now time was come to replace the backup
battery and I just followed one of the suggestions mentioned.
All as I already meantioned earlier without problems.

Hi All,

At last I completed to upgrade 100LX by my own way.
Experimented machine was 100LX SG350 ver1.04A w/o memory
connector on the motherboard.

Memory allocation was 0.5+32+0+0MB, so it doesn't required
any disk drivers. Just 32.5M-640kB as c: drive.

I used my designed memory board which is electrically same as
T2T's 32MB board, I guess.

To modify requires high soldering skill but if someone
want to upgrade or retest yourself please ask me.

Sorry for my poor english. Please correct... :-)

Hi guys,

A bit of luck: my office (the "Fishbowl") has acquired a fairly high-range

My question: how is the best way to transfer files between my hp200lx and
this linux box?

I'd love to still be able to use "zip", as it is so fast and convenient.

The thing I liked most was to put a file named *.* in the directory of
someone's PC. It was rather annoying (no way to access the thing), and
usually one finally tried to delete the file with "del *.*". The result
then was that *everything* was gone, EXCEPT the intended file "*.*" which
was still there, almost laughing at you. :-) (No, nobody had ever lost data
with this, I practiced this usually on a diskette with some games I gave
someone).

And there is a bug in the Filer that if a directory has an extension which
is listed in Filer.Ini that you can't get into it: if you click on the
directory it tries to start the application instead. :-(

Hi Kazuto Kitakubo,

you wrote you completed an upgrade of your HP100LX.
I just bought a second hand HP200LX, which wasn't working.
but since I fixed it, it seems ok, expect for the default 1 MB Ram.

can you give me some information on how you did that upgrade, and if it
is possible to do it on the HP200 too ?
Just want to experiment with it too.

Thanx in advance,
Chris van Mourik.

May be your memory board had broken.
Did you try memory allocation check by debug.exe?

200LX upgrade is quite easy, just pay money for T2T. :)
No manufacturer makes upgrade kit for 100LX, thats why I posted
information for 100LX freaks.

Owen,

While you're at it, that is working on version 2.0 of MPG Tracker, it
would be useful for us, on this side of the pond, to have the
possibility of working with gallons/miles (our UK friends) and
liters/100 Km. (for us poor continentals). Do you think it would be
possible?

     The CTTY command transfers console control to a serial
port.  Then you use a terminal program on another machine
to open a file and copy into it, as if the "CTTY"ed machine
had typed "COPY CON FILE".

     So 1) set up com port, 2) ctty to com port, 3) go to
othe machine, fire up terminal program, and 4) flail about
until you figure out how to transfer a file.

     Your idea about me transfering the files to you is much
better in the short haul.  Attached are my 200LX laplink (not
connectivity pack) files.  One configuration file was edited
to reflect server status.  One batch file has also been mod-
ified.  Check file sizes and dates to ensure compatability
with your copy.  I would think they will be the same.

Here is a good one for you all to ponder on.  My 100lx will not turn on
unless you hold the power on switch for a second or more, and then only
about 60% of the time. Next if that does not work I can do a hard reset
and that only works about 50% of the time. and lastly when trying  the
above combinations I will get a constant tone from the speaker which can
only be killed by removing all of the batteries.
Now I have the sinking feeling that It is time to either let the system
rest in peace, or get it fixed.  Any and all other Ideas are welcome???
thanks

Are you running this program through System Manager?
If so, do you have any problems starting it up?  I too had problems

I'm sure that Steven Lawson, GP's creator, would be interested to hear your

You cannot currently do this, but these are the sorts of things that might

I currently delete all the messages that I don't consider to be of personal
relevance to me - otherwise, like you, I'd have no free space on my hard
disk after a day or so.  I hardly think that keeping all the fluff and
irrelevant stuff posted here justifies the expense of a RAM upgrade.

Again, these aren't yet supported - ask Steven Lawson if he might include

You'd have to ask a WWW/LX user - I don't have this program.

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but does the high drain
(apparently associated with disabled Lite Sleep) also occur after a
MenuQuit from Filer?

> My tests were done without the "close Filer" hack, and the high drain
> showed up after a "file, exit" from Filer.  My current measurements

Also, is it a solution to periodically toggle Lite Sleep via a utility like
LXPRO or LXSTAT, or would this result in unknowingly toggling Lite Sleep
off?

Finally, are we certain that 200LXs are exhibiting this power drain right
from the factory? (And if so, which ROM BIOS version?) From some comments
here, it would seem that this condition comes on suddenly, possibly as a
result of some 3rd party software toggling Lite Sleep out of sync with the
Filer.

Sorry for all the questions...

First a few words about what the "high drain" is - it's the increase in
current draw from around 20mA to around 80mA on a 2meg 200LX that occurs
when Filer is not running and there has been a high drain situation since
last time Filer was started.

If you just exit filer (any method) and run Memo, (or any other 200lx app)
the current consumption remains low.

You can quit filer any way you want, from the menu in Filer itself, or from
the APP mgr. screen or by removing it from memory with the Closefiler app
without the LX drawing more current.
If you quit filer as your last application however, so that your lx is
displaying the top card, the power drain goes to "high".

The high drain occurs
1) when you close all built in apps and display the top card or
2) shell out to DOS or
3) Quit all apps and run dos
4) Use an app that initializes the sderial or IR ports and draws power
The serial port on its own draws appx. 12-15mA.

The quirk is that the LX hardware ruitines allows power to increase, but
doesn't reduce it again.

And for all worriers - this is of theoretical interest only as it is easily
counteracted by reopening Filer once in a while.
I just completed a battery drain test on a pair of Duracells, and at
constant 100mA discharge they lasted over 23 hours!
So even at "high drain" any reputable battery will give good service. When
the unit is switched off the drain is very low, no matter how the sleep
modes are configured.

BTW: This phenomenon occurs "right out of the box" and on early 100lx's as
well as on my 94 200lx.

      Keybez sets up a "CODE PAGE" that can redefine the character
set in use.  Printing requires a compatible font be selected.
E-mailing requires the recipient to set up the same code page as
you.  Faxing probably requires a code page knowledgeable program
or one that can substitute fonts.

     There are freely available Cyrillic PostScript fonts.  These and
the PostScript emulator GhostScript, and the viewer GhostView, will
allow you to print to your LaserJet, or export to a graphic file.  You
could then fax the graphic.

As I remember it, there are indeed a few characters that are considered
"illegal" for filenames (such as  / \ | % < > " ' and of course * and ?).

When calculating the number of possible filename extensions, also take into
account that certain extensions are reserved, including .EXE, .COM, .BAT,
.SYS, .OVL and ??? among others.

I don't have it with me here at the office, but I recall that the 200LX
manual discusses DOS filename conventions quite succinctly.

Philip,

        I use Scancat Gold which is a radio control package for scanners and
shortwave radios.  Ir runs well on a 100LX but it may have many more
features than your need.  Perhaps just a simple data base would be
better.  I don't believe there is any software that automatically tracks
the broadcasters freqs.  There are a couple of email lists that will
help along with Passport to Shortwave Radio.  Drop me a note if you are
interested in the email lists.

Subject:      Monica viewpoint, 700lx info request.

        Hello all,

    Considering the whole lot of offtopic argument about Monika,
    here are my two cents:

    What makes americans angry is loss of QUALITY. I mean the
    President of USA is effective leader of the world so he
    should demand the best. Kennedys had Marilyn to have fun and
    most americans were proud of them. However Hillary is just
    not Jacqueline and Monica has NOTHING in common with M. M.
    Not to mention Clinton vs. JFK comparisons.

    On topic: Could one tell, what's the status of HP OGO 700LX?
    -FACTORY set CPU speed is 8 or 16MHz? (I heard 16MHz)
    -Internal memory upgrades 4/8/32MB KIT/SEND-IN available?
    -What kind of phones will fit the piggy-back dock besides
     the Nokia 2110? (I mean regarding physical dimensions)
    -What type/bulky Nokia battery packs will fit phone, if I
     wish to dock it to the OGO 700LX?
    -What are the chances with 1800MHz GSM? Will there be a
     phone device to fit the 700LX? (say a 2110 copycat)
    -Can you two-thumbs type on the 700LX? (it has a wider
     edge to keyboard on the left -earthglobed- side)
    -Should I pack oversize NiMH betteries in a Nokia2110
     shape enclosure and "dock it", how long will that config
     last if used with regular landline PCMCIA modem or Ethernet?

    Do you know if the PCMCIA to Compact-flash adapters (often sold
    with CF cards for about 15$) are basically same as non-powered
    PCMCIA slot doublers? (eg. completely passive devices)
    I wonder if anyone will make a PCMCIA->CF adapter, that is active
    and say works as a modem, while can adapt CF memory card as well.
    Or possibly function as a HP-48GX emulator cartridge and host plus
    48MB of CF flash. That should double HPLX functionality.

            Thank you for the attention,
                                  Sincerely:
                                                Tamas Feher.

8 Mhz, same speed as a stock 200lx

None

Only the slimline battery

Don't know.

Yes, depends on the size of your hands ;-)

Don't understand.

I believe that it is just a passive hardware device that allows the compact
flash to make the neccessary connections in a standard pcmcia slot.

Curious if any of the U.S. non-GSM 21xx Nokias work with the 700lx still,
but I don't think anyone has tried yet.

If you're in England, the Orange phone is a 2110 copycat and works
in the 700lx.  That's what I used while I was over there on business.
I think Orange is on 1800mhz, but I may be mistaken.

> >    -Can you two-thumbs type on the 700LX? (it has a wider

It's alot harder.  The 700lx is pretty bulky, even without the phone
docked.  What's with that hokey space design on it anyway?  Ug-lee.. :-)

What looks like a better hinge design is actually worse
than the 200lx!  I don't understand why HP can't get hinges right.  Rather
than pivot the entire screen from one side, they use the whole length
between hinge corners.  Only, there's no support anywhere in the
middle!  On my friends, you can already see the batteries between case
halves from the stress, the top of the case being bowed along the back
(it's only about 1/8 inch thick piece of plastic)

I don't believe the 700lx draws any power from the docked phone, so
it'd be useless.

What does your CSV file look like?  It should look like:

"Field1","Field2","Field3"

or

Field1,Field2,Field3

as long as there are no commas inside any field's data.  I really
don't know why GDBIO would be complaining about "brackets", because it
is quotes and commas that are important.

What do you get if you run GDBIO with only the filename of your PDB
file on the command line and the /S option?  This should show the
structure of the PDB file.

For an example of how the export CVS looks, just run GDBIO with only
the name of the PDB file on the command line.

Perhaps you are trying to import the wrong kind of data into the
fields of your PDB file.  For example, maybe you are trying to stuff
text data into a number field.  Look at the structure report from
GDBIO to ge the order of the fields so that you can make sure the PDB
and CSV files are aligned.

It only works with GSM phones because of the datacard inside.  A datacard
and modem while performing the same thing as far as sending and receiving
data, are completely different in they way they do it.

The other 21xx series like the 2160 for example it just a dual mode
amps/damps phone.  It has to be in analog mode and use a cell modem to work.
Best situations only give around 4800 baud.

I see what you're saying... it's a METAPHOR for the decline in quality
since the world's palmtoppers have switched from the 200LX line to
Windows CE machines!  Brilliant!  <g>

Hi group,

 First I want to say thanks to everyone who offered their
help and advice towards the solution of my connectivity
problem. This list is great! I never expected so much
helpful feedback.

 Well now I can at least do file transfers via LapLink
(Steve Novosad -- Thanks for your help on this!) which
means I can now run more than just DOS commands and  the
Setup Utility on the palmtop!!!

 Probably a long term solution would probably be to use the
interlnk/intersvr programs. I'll have to do some experimentation
in the future, but at the moment LapLink will serve my needs
just fine.

Regards,
Scott

The 200LX will talk to the PN60i in 3 ways:

1) Parallel port using something like a Transdigital card
2) Serial port using adapters and the optional cable or with a custom
cable like the one Shier Systems sells.
3) IrDA using the drivers on the SUPER Site.

I have successfully used all three ways to print to my PN60i.

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

I have become quite concerned about the number of posts with "FLUFF" in
the subject line. It is misleading and deceptive, and contrary to the
principle of truth in subject lines, when the posts themselves turn
out to be on age and politics and jokes and - not about fluff at all.

But this post is different. It *is* about fluff.

The mass of cables behind my computer setup gathers an amazing amount
of fluff. There is more, even within a day of cleaning it all out.
After a week, the amount is truly extraordinary. It's a wooden floor,
so the fluff is especially visible. (I'd say "polished wooden floor",
but it's not <g>.)

My theory is that
        (a) there is more fluff around than you could possibly imagine.
        (b) the fluff is insubstantial, so it moves with the breeze
        and random drafts and wafts -- until it meets a mass of
        computer cables, where it gets stuck.
If this post does spark an extensive flurry of replies, at least they
really will be about "FLUFF". *sigh*

Colin,

I am interested in your experiences with Scancat GOld. I have V6.0 and I
just swapped for
an AR7030 receiver with RS-232 I/O. I hope that SC Gold will let me load
the memories in the
radio, I hate to do that by hand.

FOR PHILIP KHOO:

Pick up a copy of Monitoring Times or Popular Communications. Both have
ads for logging software
for SWL use. There are web pages that will give you a list of who is
broadcasting in real time.
I don't have the URL on my laptop though, it is at home. If you are
interested email me off the
list and I'll find it for you.

Turbo basic is too old. I have tried it but the graphic does not seem to
initiate the HP200 environment.

Turbo Pascal is better.

But Turbo C can directly be supported by PAL - a better choice - you do not
need to develop everything yourself.

Don't know this one.

The 2160 dual mode will fit and the 2190 GSM will fit. Both are US
versions, the 2190 being a US version of the 2110.

Only the slim 600mah pack will fit.

See above, 2190 phone.

No problem for me.

Are you trying to power the 700LX through the dock? DOn't know if that
is possible or not.

AFAIK they are passive.

Maybe one day if the demand is great enough.

If anyone else has info regarding the 700LX I'd be interested. I am also
looking for a 600mah slim battery for my 2190/2160 so it will dock with
the 700LX.

Subject:      How to use STACKER on a PCMCIA card when on Windows 95
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I sent this to IBM Support but then got to thinking someone here might just
know the answer.  Any help will be appreciated
        ..................
I recently purchased a ThinkPad 600 to replace my old ThinkPad 500.  The 600
is a great machine and gradually I'm getting setup to do all of the thing I
need.  One thing I'm having problems with is PCMCIA cards.

I have a HP200LX Palmtop with a 10 Mb PCMCIA Flashdisk on which I have
installed STACKER.  One use of the Flaskdisk is for backing up all of my
data to the ThinkPad 500.  I remove the PCMCIA card from the HP200LX; insert
it in the ThinkPad 500 PC card slot; go to D: and execute STACKER; then
execute a BAT file that is on the PCMCIA card that copies backup data from
the card to the ThinkPad 500.  This works very well.

However I have been unable to get this going on the new ThinkPad 600.  On
the 600 the PCMCIA card in drive F: or G:.  With the PCMCIA card in place I
can read the unSTACKED files from a DOS window.  When I try to execute
STACKER I get the message that STACKER can not be loaded under Windows, and
exit Windows, load STACKER.EXE and re-enter Windows.  I have tried
restarting in MS-DOS mode but when I do I can't recognize drive F: or G:.

Now what do I do to get this going?

Since it is weekend:
You have been thinking about Monica Lewinsky again (or about all the
money she is getting now) and drooled on the keyboard. Dry the HP and
cover the keyboard with plastic film until you can get her out of your
head.

Since some people don't like fluff at all and will complain:
I thought first it was a stuck key but if I hold down a key on my 200lx
and press ON, the HP just waits until I release the key - no noises.
Could it actually be wet inside?

Since it is still weekend AND a fact:
We have factual first hand evidence on this list about a baby peeing on
his HP - probably to keep the doctor away (works better than an apple a
day, try it!). One has to admire the baby's aim!

The 200LX will talk to the PN60i in 3 ways:

1) Parallel port using something like a Transdigital card
2) Serial port using adapters and the optional cable or with a custom
cable like the one Shier Systems sells.
3) IrDA using the drivers on the SUPER Site.

I have successfully used all three ways to print to my PN60i.

Similar story here, friend of mine had a 200LX machine, upgraded to 5M I
believe, and he had Software Carousel with it.  (Not sure if it was one of
those package deals or not..)  It got stolen a few years back and he
has downgraded to the WinCE series.  Anyway, he was playing with my 200LX and
noticed I used DOSShell and it reminded him, and he told me he had osmething
better and went digging through disks, and came up with his Software Carousel
disk.  Since he no longer plans on owning a 200, he gave the disk to me, but
couldn't find the docs.

Al mailed me the manual and even an original disk of S.C. (version 4.x)
priority mail so I had some documentation for it!

Great guy!

What I learned from my tests is that you are ok if you keep Filer open,
and that the condition is reset by powering the LX down for a couple of
seconds. It's probably better to just power down  for a second than to
mess around with the light sleep toggle (and extra TSR's) unless you have
other reasons for using these.

This condition does appear in "stock" 200LX's. I'm afraid were mixing 2
different "problems" together.

1. High current drain when Filer is sleeping. This does not generally
have a big impact on battery life because in the course of normal
palmtop use it gets reset after a short period of time, by either the HP
being turned off, or it powering down on it's own due to inactivity.
People keeping Filer open all the time are not impacted at all.

2 Reduced battery life. This can be brought on by hardware or software
changes or problems. Short battery life has led many of us to attach
current meters to our palmtops to attempt to isolate the cause, and we
have discovered the Filer - power usage "bug" while doing these tests,
but this bug is probably not the cause of our problem.

So I agree with what Paal said about the Filer current phenomenon being
theoretical. But we might be able to put the knowledge to good use by
developing habits that avoid it, thus improving battery life just a
little.

I now practice good Filer habits, get 30+ hours out of a set of alkalines
(or 12-15 hrs per charge on NiMH's) on my 32 meg single speed HP and
couldn't be happier.

You know what this reminds me of?  The Infocom text adventure, "The
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."  As anybody who's played that (on the
palmtop or not!) knows, fluff is one of the most important things in the
universe.

Let's see... well, how's the humidity down there?  Here in Las Vegas, it's
very low.  The same fluff seems to gather quite rapidly on MY cables too,
but even more so inside my computer, and worst of all inside its power
supply.  When I worked as a technician, I once opened up a US Department
of Energy computer that hadn't been opened since it was purchased five
years before.  There was literallly a solid half-inch coating along
everything of blue-grey fluff.  I nearly suffocated myself blowing it out
with compressed air.

A fellow technician commented that when he lived in St. Louis, where the
humidity is high, there was virtually no fluff buildup.  He said he had
his computer for years there and it never accumulated much dust, whereas
here in Las Vegas it was overrun in a matter of months.

So, thinking that humidity was the key, I purchased a humidifier to keep
the level of dust down in my room.  And did it work?  Well, a few days
after I bought it, I became violently ill with the worst respiratory
infection I've ever had, and, suspecting some sort of airborn pathogen
from the humidifier, I turned it off and never got a chance to find out,
really.

Hi Nick,

        I have an older version of DOS Scancat that doesn't support the
AR7030.  Generally I travel with and AR8000 scanner and a Lowe HF150.
Scancat is great for reloading the AR8000 with new regional freqs while
you are on the road.  I prefer the double speed 200LX and DOS version of
Scancat to my laptop and the Windoze version.  The LX is obviously the
choice for travel.  I should probably call Jim for the DOS upgrade so I
can use it with the 7030.  So far all the Windoze version has been good
for is loading the memories in my AR5000.
        Good tip on Monitoring Times and Popular Communications.  The URL for
Monitoring Times is http://www.grove-ent.com/grove/hmpgmt.html .

73,

Colin

Try Klingwrap - a very thin, strechable transparent film used in the
kitchen.

Some sailors told me many moons ago that they used that to cover their
HP-41 machines. One fellow even claimed to have given his machine a "sea

Thanks for reading this. I'm needing some advice on linking the 200lx
with Macs. How hard is it? What do I need? Would I be better off with a
Pilot or Newton for this? If so, does anyone have one they'd like to
sell or trade?  Question #2 involves the replacement Helv fonts i.e.
Helv100 and 200. I've lost the how-to's on adding these to the lx's.
Could someone send me that info or post to the list?

Thanks and have a great weekend,

Hi all, I am interested in the capabilities of the built-in solver in the
LX and want to go beyond the manuals examples.

I am in my 2nd semester (of 12) at Auckland AIT doing National
Diploma of Business Computing, and I find my LX is simply the
cats whiskers! I take notes on it, draft reports, do essays on it,
123 is great for accounting and other uses, solver/calc is great
for hex/binary/decimal math and the best thing about it is the
form factor - it is always with me, and makes no noise to disturb
lecturers and students.

Does anybody have a site/reference/idea/tutorial/faq on solver or
on math that could/can be written into solver or any other nice math
programs that can run on the LX they could point me to?

Many thanks

I have used MacLinkPlus, but it is not essential. You can use a terminal
package to transfer files to and fro.

the best place for font installation is in the autoexec.bat before it
calls 100/200 Make sure the font com file is in your path, ie: in
the c:\_dat dir or elsewhere nominated, or use a full filenam/path
like ...

@echo off
set comspec=d:\dos\command.com
set dircmd=/a/o-s/p
set temp=c:\temp
path c:\;d:\;d:\dos;d:\bin;c:\_dat;a:\;a:\win;a:\spell;
mode com1:96,n,8,1,
prompt $p$g
key200 key.dat
font                      <-------- font.com is in my _dat dir
batset /a
moreexm
200

Agreed. Turbo Basic is quite old. PowerBasic is however, a current,

Hi all,
        I'm trying to use Nettamer to connect to Mindspring.  I'm having trouble
connecting, and I'm not sure if that means I need a special login script.
After I dial, I try to connect to my POP server, and I also try web URLs,
and it basically says "not found".
        Does anyone know what I might need to do?  BTW, I have an HP200LX.

Thanks very much.

I tried all sorts of things to solve this problem on a notebook computer
about a year ago.  I eventually gave up and re-formatted the cards, and am
now using them uncompressed (only 1 & 1.8Mb :( )  The only solution I can
think of is to use DOS real mode drivers for the PCMCIA slot instead of the
windows ones (the computer I use didn't have DOS drivers).

My response is pretty much the same. I have a 5mb (Stacked to 10mb)
card that I use in my 200Lx. I wanted to use it on my Libretto, as
well, and found that I could see the `real' files just fine under
Win95, but couldn't get stacker loaded to see the `logical' files.

I can boot my Libretto in DOS, however, and then the stacked card
works just fine. Obviously this isn't an ideal solution, but it is
adequate for my purposes.

I played around with electrostatic air purification systems a few years
ago, and found the physics of these devices interesting!
Fluff is attracted by the electric fields around conductors. The less humid
the environment, the smaller fluff particles get, and the more easily they
charge and stick together on the conductor. Humidity makes the particles
clump together in the air and thus makes them more difficult to charge.

In fact a "dry" climate indoors is often due to a high particle
concentrationin the air. The minute particles have an enormous surface
area/mass ratio and absorb humidity. An electrostatic air purifier actually
increase humidity in such environments!

So the moral is (I think) clear. Insted of us LX'ers poisining ourselves
with biological pathogens from our fluff(y) humidifiers, we should instead
trap our fluff in a cleansing apparatus! This will increase the comfort
levels of our homes as an added bonus.

Unfortunately this line of reasoning has litle relevance to the
Clinton/Lewinsky affair, but I post it none the less, as a parable of the
sometimes cleaning effect of cencorship.

Subject:      R6001 null error from LXBatch

Hey everyone, I'm trying to fix a small bug that's been bugging me.

My LXPGP upon exiting after the initial configuration gives the following
error:

run-time error R6001
- null pointer assignment

I've found no references to this error in LXBatch documentation, nor in the
PAL library docs, and I'm not sure which one it originates from.  The
reference comes from the very end of the LXBatch binary (noted with a hex
editor) if that would determine if it's from PAL or LXBatch.

I've been unable to contact Ron Koenis, his email is stated as being
75450.1040@compuserv.com, but email there bounces.

Even simple tests such as the following fail:

forgetconfig
SetConfig Test Editor PalEdit
WriteConfig C:\Test.CFG

With or without forgetconfig, I might add.

If anyone uses LXBatch's configuration commands and has any input, I'd greatly
appreciate it!

Thanks!

Hi group-

Thought you might be interested to know that EduCALC has been
reincarnated  8-)

The business has been restarted by Da Vinci (formerly Sparcom).  I
found out about it when I wrote to support@sparcom.com to find how to
get into the Drive100 to replace the battery pack...   The URL is:

        http://www.calculatingedge.com

Mostly calculators & accessories, but the the catalog request form
includes a check box for 200LX.  I'll be interested to see their
catalog whenever it comes.

The following text is from the help for MS VC++ 1.52:

An error-checking routine (_nullcheck) is automatically
invoked after your program has terminated to determine whether
the contents of the NULL segment have changed. If they have,
the routine displays the following error message:

        run-time error R6001
        - null pointer assignment


This error does not cause your program to terminate. The error
message is displayed following normal termination of the
program.

The NULL segment is a location in low memory that is normally
not used. If the contents of the NULL segment change during
program execution, it means the program has written to this
area, usually by an inadvertent assignment through a null
pointer.

The null-pointer error message reflects a potentially serious
program error. Although the program may appear to operate
correctly, it is likely to cause problems and may fail to run
in a different operating environment.

The _nullcheck library routine works only for near pointers
and is therefore not useful for the compact, large, and huge
memory models. Its source code (CHKSUM.ASM) is included as
part of the startup code that is provided with the compiler.

Hi All,

At last I completed to upgrade 100LX by my own way.
Experimented machine was 100LX SG350 ver1.04A w/o memory
connector on the motherboard.

Memory allocation was 0.5+32+0+0MB, so it doesn't required
any disk drivers. Just 32.5M-640kB as c: drive.

I used my designed memory board which is electrically same as
T2T's 32MB board, I guess.

To modify requires high soldering skill but if someone
want to upgrade or retest yourself please ask me.

Sorry for my poor english. Please correct... :-)

Best Regards,

My HP200LX (2MB) having 32MB and x2speed has been suddently lose 32MB. Only
1MB left. I suspect Thaddeus replace my 2MB with 1MB.

Just pass 3 months warranty and suffering total lost in the investment.

Thanks for your information. You make me to think twice for further upgrade
into 64MB. I am thinking giving up HP200LX now; and changing into CE.

Although bigger but it has a cheap DOS emulator (I am testing it) with 80186
speed.

Just wonder you want to try REFORMAT the C drive.

I don't think so. I have my 64MB ATA for over 1 year without problem. Of
course, it will be slower because of the disk searching time required.
Bigger MB needs more (I guess).

However, DOS5's maximum disk size is 64MB (Actually, it is 60MB-61MB). All
you can do is to use FDISK to partition it. For example, 80MB can be
partitioned into 2 x 40MB.

Moreover, longer searching time means you need to consume more battery power
than before.

Wed,  9 Sep 1998 14:41:24 -0400 (EDT)

Hi folks-

I'm planning on getting a large (80 or 96MB) card for my 200LX.
Checked with Marcan, and their sales rep wrote back that he wouldn't
recommend anything over 40 (or 80 at the most) because of sluggish
performance from the really large cards when used on the 200LX.

These are Simple Technology cards.  Do any of you who have the big
capacity cards have any problems with slow performance?  I thought I'd
read posts to the list that the ST cards had pretty decent read and
write times...     BTW - this is an 8MB 2x speed 200LX.

Thanks

-Peniel (Old fogey - but hey, the discounts are great!)

I'm looking for information on the PCX file format.  Does anyone know a good

Currently the program is a very simple line drawing application written in
QuickBasic.  I'm just experimenting in basic to determine the minimum
functions I need.  I intend to complete the project with Turbo C 2.0 and
size is my highest priority.

During your object file linking stage, you have misplaced your library file
or their sequence.
You need to consult your reference manual for a proper
settings/configurations.

I would suggest you to try a simple "Hello World" application and solve the
problem first.

Hi
Thanks to all those who responded to my query on Shortwave.
Yes I am interested in email list / links to resources if its not too
troublesome for those who offered.

My situation is I've just purchased a shortwave radio Sangean AT404 that
allows me digital tuning unlike my previous Philips manual model.
What I was looking for is a simple database software (if it already available)
that I can refer to and sort say News broadcast from different countries at a
particular time, then I can manually key in the frequency to listen to it. The
LX100 & the AT 404 is with me most of the time hence my question.
I guess the alternative is to get on the web and print out shortwave guides
from some of the sites and manually read off and manually key in the
frequency.
Btw what does Scancat Gold do (understand it works on the LX100), where can
one download a copy for evaluation ?

Best regards
Philip Khoo

This message is aimed mainly at the hams on the list but I would welcome
input from anybody that might could lead me in the right direction.

Does anyone know of any software that would run on the LX that I could use
to act as a software repeater controller?

What I have in mind is to have HT connected via the speaker/mic jacks to the
LX's serial port and have the LX operate as the controller, sending the
appropriate CW ID at the proper intervals and maybe even generate a courtesy
tone, altough the later would not really be necessary. I know there is a
hardware product that will do this that is manufactured by Spectrum
Electronics, but I hate to buy more hardware if I can accomplish the same
thing with a software package.

You need to have your stacker drivers in the config.sys so they load into
memory before 95 starts. Copy them to the 95 config.sys from the
config.dos file & restart.

Folks,

About twice a week now, I am getting a error trying to write to my flash

Is this a sign of inpending failure or ...?

Second the recommendation for Derive, it works well on a 2X. Thaddeus
has one or two articles on their site about using solver with many
formulas. There is also a program on the Super site, Ex, which does
math well, it has a different sort of interface, but also works well,
once you figure it out. There are others, look around.

The hard disk limits in DOS for a single partition are:

Maximum clusters per partition = 65,520
Maximum sectors per cluster = 64
Size of largest hard disk partition (in bytes) = 512

These values are to be multiplied giving a total theoretical size limit of
2,146,959,360 bytes. (2,096,640,000 bytes in counting in powers of 2)

This applies to all DOS versions since DOS ver 5.0, earlier versions were
limited to something smaller, as I remember.

Philip,

        Given that Scancat cannot communicate with your radio, you would
probably be better served by a simple data base.  In the old days, we
called them logs.  Some of the logging software that can be found in
Monitoring Times and Pop Com. would be a better choice.  Scancat is
logging and radio control software.  More info is at www.scancat.com .

Glad to hear that.  I ordered a 96MB card, and wondered about needing
multiple partitions.

Do you know anything about 2MB Fujitsu PCMCIA Flash cards?  I pick them
up cheap but can't seem to format them.

I'm wonderinf if they are linear flash and not ATA??

I have noticed previous to this thread that sometimes my 8M doublespeed 200LX
seemed 'jumpy' or just plain slow..  Then later I noticed that if I held a key
down, it sped up to normal speed; lite sleep was enabled.

*MOST* of the time this isn't the case!  I noticed last night that it
definately had lite sleep mode enabled in a large databse I was tinkering
with, but upon entering Filter (it was asleep) and then exiting, lite sleep
mode was very oviously no longer enabled.  The database sped right along.

I'm thinking with the other posters, it's not that Filer is written better,
rather it's asleep/exit code is poorly written, and that it messes up lite
sleep mode upon disapearing.

Personally, I'd rather leave lite sleep off.. :)  It's so much faster, and I
tend to hold a key down when it's in lite sleep mode to compensate anyway. :)

Mike,

I encounter no problem transferring data files to and from a Mac. I simply
use Datacomm on the 200LX, Zterm 1.0.1 on the Mac (though I imagine just
about any comm application will do) and the standard LX cable mated to a
Mac modem/printer cable. (NOTE: Depending on the modem/null-modem sense of
the Mac cable, you may need to insert a null-modem adapter into the
hookup.) I believe HP also makes a Mac version of the LX serial cable --
ask your dealer.

If you want to *use*  LX data files on the Mac, you can open and edit just
about any Lotus 1-2-3, Memo and other word processor file with just about
any Mac word processor or spreadsheet application. I expect the same
applies to Database, Phone Book, Appointments, Note Taker and World Time
with most Mac database applications.

MacLinkPlus by DataViz (highly recommended) will convert LX files to almost
any Mac format you want, but does not give you specific LX formats to
convert back to (other than .WK1, .DOC, .TXT etc.) There used to be an
LX-specific version of MacLinkPlus (complete with the serial cable) but
DataViz stopped officially supporting it this year (A CLEAR CASE OF
ABANDONWARE, HINT! HINT!)

Newtons are dead (and too bad, Apple had finally gotten them right). Pilots
are generally less compatible with Macs than PC-type machines are. You're
better off with a 200LX, but if you must try a different pocket companion
to your Mac, maybe you should look at a Psion Series 5, 3c or 3a. They seem
to be quite popular with the Mac users.

B.
----------------------------------

   Thanks for reading this. I'm needing some advice on linking the 200lx
   with Macs. How hard is it? What do I need? Would I be better off with a
   Pilot or Newton for this? If so, does anyone have one they'd like to
   sell or trade?

Thanks and have a great weekend,
Pastor Mike Gibson

This site contains file format information on hundreds of different file

source code, specifications, etc.:

http://www.wotsit.org/

These pages contain specifications for various graphics file formats; along
with a number of relevant graphics utilities, information, and URLs:

I want to say thanks to one and all who sent me links to places

super) and mpp (from the naval academy)

Now what I am REALLY looking for, is a tutorial program for math...

To keep within the bounds of this list, I have to say, it was the simply
astonishing capabilities of my HP200LX solver/calc/123 combination
that has turned me on to this subject. It also showed up my lack
of real knowledge, which is the area I am attempting to remedy.

Thanks again to the wonderful list members (my ethereal electronic

Hi List,

I forwarded Kitakubo's message (below) to Mack. His comments were "Very
interesting!", and that his driver is faster than the built-in one to access
the memory. I urged him to make the last fact well known.

I suspect he is fascinated and intrigued because I believe he is now tinkering
with something along these lines ;-)

So, Kitakubo, Thanks for spurring on the creative spirit with your discovery.
Maybe the two of you should put your heads together and maybe come up with
something (whatever...) that is superior. Nothing like two creative minds
working together!

I hope you are correct. Da Vinci picked up a lot of the stuff Educalc had, and
I believe also some of the intangible business assets - mailing lists etc -

PHILIP and other SWL on the list.

I have a small, reasonably sophisticated 200LX databse program that I
wrote to satisfy the requirement of shortwave listeners.

Unfortunately the listener must first add the data before the database
will become useful!  The following are some fields defined: C/S, Freq,
Mode, Times, SINPO, Category, Date, Receiver, Country of Tx, Rx, Tx Pwr
and SQL.  After that, various defined subsets will make it possible to
list a time based schedule, frequency lists for FM, AM. SSB or scheduled
broadcasters.  Options for subsets will be your imagination, limited by
the defined data in the database.

Listeners can mail me for a copy.

I disassembled the unit, took out the mainboard, washed it in warm, distilled
water and - voila - it works again as it did before the rain came. Thanks to
all who suggested the wash.

A few months ago I dropped my 200lx and broke the screen. I asked for a
couple of suggestions from the group.
No one had a spare screen, so I used my 100lx and put the 200lx in the desk
drawer.
One of the suggestions was to put the motherboard of the 200lx in the 100lx
case, since I was having difficulty removing just the screen.
***Steller idea***
I am on vacation this week, so I got froggy and attempted the repair. I have
the 'bottom' half of the 200lx connected to the 'top' half of the 100lx.
Cool color scheme now. (doubtful that with this group I am the only one..)
Works perfectly.

Not to drag on, but thanks for the help. I am sorry I cannot recall the name
of the specific poster of my solution. To all the other readers out there -
easy fix. Get a T6 torx screwdriver and you are in business.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

Hello All, especially Mac lovers,

There have been several questions lately on connecting the 200LX to
Macintosh.  Mike Joseph asked for advice on Saturday, 19 September
1998 and David Lawrence replied next day with:-

> I have used MacLink Plus, but it is not essential.  You can use a
> terminal package to transfer files to and fro.

I'd like to expand a little and give MacLink a plug (and you will need
a special plug, too!).

I am not particularly technically-minded on such matters but, as my
wife's acquisition of a Mac Performa 450 beat me to getting our first
real computer (apart perhaps from my Tandy Pocket PC6 -- all 8K of it,
upgraded to a whopping 16K), the Mac was my only means of backup for
my then new 100LX.  Apart from an occasional need to reboot after
transferring data, the marriage of the two via MacLink Plus was and
remains a breeze.  Anyone can do it and although I now have a PC for
backing up, I continue to also use the Mac for important documents on
the basis that two different systems are safer than one (my canny
Scottish background coming out again).  It has paid off, too.

Provided you don't mind going off to make a cuppa while you wait, the
Mac's backup facility via MacLink is simple to use and it also keeps a
log of operations.  Moreover, I have found that some aspects of the
100LX's formatting are preserved by the MacLink process, unlike the
situation when connecting to a PC.  There is also the option to
transfer files in various modes (such as comma-separated values) or
simply in binary and translate later on the Mac.

You can get round some inconsistencies in translation with a bit of
thought.  For instance, I use the degree symbol a lot in technical
reports.  This is marked in green above the letter X (Fn + X) on my
particular 100LX unit.  It gets translated into another symbol in Word
5.1 on the boss's Mac.  However you can use the Find/Replace facility
on the Mac side to replace all instances of the other symbol by the
proper degree mark.  The same can be done in reverse on the Palmtop.
In fact, I keep a special summary note in NOTETAKER of the symbol
conversions for quick reference.

Sometimes the Macintosh simply translates a particular 100LX character
with the standard square box, representing a general "unknown"
character.  Hence you cannot immediately determine which actual Mac
character is being represented and so you cannot enter that character
in the dialog box for finding and replacing.  In this case you have to
highlight the box symbol in the text on the Mac and copy and paste it
into the dialog box and then use the find key facility to paste in the
required replacement symbol in the other part of the dialog box.  You
can replace all instances of such symbols at once.  You quickly get
used to this technique and it can be used in both directions.

Remember that you need a special cable for connecting to the Macintosh
(end of plug).

Cheers!

Barry "Mac"Collins

Subject:      Re: How to use STACKER
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT

Greetings Stacker Folk,

In response to a couple of messages on STACKER, I'd like to add my few
cents worth.

I have a 4Mb card stacked to 8Mb  and a 48Mb card stacked to 98Mb,
both of which I also use on my Laptop, this having the usual two flash
card slots.  The speed at which data is transferred using flash card
catches your breath and you can transfer from card to card.  It is
thus important for me to have both slots configured to handle these
cards stacked.

Just to add to the complexity, I have both Windows 3.11 and Windows 95
on my laptop with dual booting on C: and D:, so Stacker had to be
installed on both. On Monday, 21 September 1998 David Lawrence,
replying to David, said:-

> You need to have your stacker drivers in the config.sys so they load
> into memory before 95 starts.  Copy them into the 95 config.sys from
> the config.dos file & restart.

As far as I remember, Stacker virtually installs itself and makes the
necessary alterations to the config.sys files -- but my main purpose
is not to contradict my old mentor, David Lawrence, but rather to draw
attention to a potential problem.

I did have a slight problem and remember someone else writing in a
while ago in the same situation.  After installing Stacker, I found
that the top slot in my laptop would read the stacked portion of
either flash card (as it was supposed to) in Windows 3.11, whereas the
bottom slot would only read the unstacked portion.  In Windows 95 it
was the other way round.

When all else fails, read the instructions.  After all, that's what
they are there for, to tell you where you went wrong!  Eventually it
dawned on me with my limited knowledge of DOS what the instructions
had been trying to tell me all along.

I am now speaking from memory as the instructions are elsewhere at the
moment (and that's another characteristic of instructions).  It seems
that Stacker will only configure one flash card slot automatically and
presumably having done so in Windows 3.11 it moved in my case to the
next slot (or logical drive) when subsequently installing itself in
Windows 95.  That would logically explain the switch in reading the
compressed portion of my disks, yes?

So, armed with the instructions, plus the information already in the
config.sys files for configuring one of the drives or slots, I worked
out what had to be added via a text editor in Windows 3.11 and in 95
to get the stacked portion read in the other drive in each case.  The
last line in my Windows 3.11 C:\CONFIG.SYS now reads:-

DEVICE=C:\STACKER\STACKER.COM /P=0 E: F:

On Windows 95 it is the same except on the D: drive with D substituted
for C.  Obviously if you don't have your D: drive reserved for
something else (as I do for Windows 95), you will probably have to
substitute D & E for E & F, respectively, or make some other
adjustment and then reboot.

I hope this works for you.

Snappy stacking,

Barry Collins

I hope that does the trick.

I have a customer with 300 retail stores.
They send me an updated excell file every few months.To transfer the data
to my 200LX I have created a new database file which I call "biway.gdb".
After converting the excell file to a comma delimited file "biway.csv", I
copy this file along with the blank "biway.gdb" file to the gdbio directory
of my desktop computer.
Next I enter the command line: gdbio biway.gdb biway.csv stores.gdb, and I
have a file called stores.gdb with all the data imported to it.
You have to make sure that you have the same amount of fields in the new
database as in the csv file.
Hope this will help you.

Hi, I'm trying to get lxtools to work on a linux machine. The linux

*really stupid*. Anyway, here's the symptoms:

        Cannot open /dev/cua1

        Unable to connect to palmtop!

Thanks!

With my experience with Hebrew fonts on the HP (keybez he). I can tell you
the following. You could probably print in Russian using a printer which
supports the Russian DOS code page (character set). I have no idea what it
is. I can print Hebrew documents from the HP using my printer at home which
supports Hebrwe. If you want to convert the text file to windows you have to
use a program which will translate from the DOS code page to the Windows ISO
character set for Russian.

This brings me to another point. I use DO2RTF to convert memo documnets to
rtf for use on my desktop. "It would be nice" if the program had a
rtanslation table which could be user modified to convert between DOS code
pages and ISO character sets...

How far back do you want to go - qbasic gwbasic - they work and are

Thank you for interesting my message. I feel honored!
BTW, I'd like to try Mack-san's driver for 100LX.
I confirmed BANK2 and BANK3 also recognize 32MB each,
so if his driver work on 100LX it mean possibility up to 96.5MB.

Ah. I bet that you are logging in as yourself and not root. If this is the
case, the reason you cannot access cua1 is that it is owned by root. Talk to
the person who can log in as root and tell them to set /dev/cua1's permisions
to 777.

I know of several problems related to my DOS port of lxtools, and planned
to get over it this summer, but due to a sum of circumstances I had to
cancel all my projects.

As far as I reached when I investigated the problem, there seem to be some
strange responses from the 200LX that the comm library I used don't seem to
handle very well.

I should have some time from next week on, and it's in the second place in
my todo list.

Regards. Nacho.

Subject:      Turbo Pascal

The consensus on the list seems to be that Pascal is the way to go on the
200lx for novice programmers.  While digging through some of my uncle's
old computer stuff, I found several manuals for Turbo Pascal.  The
manuals appear to be from the days of the 8088.  Unfortunately, his disks
are no where to be found; the "executors" of his estate threw away any
software not in boxes.

Can anyone point me to a site with the Turbo Pascal (HP200lx compatible)
software available for purchase or download?

The next question is one about the similarities between Turbo Pascal and
Delphi.  I assume there is very little but don't know for sure having
never heard of an ANSI-Pascal (or similar standard).

Thanks.

I am on vacation this week, so I got froggy and attempted the repair. I

Speaking of which, where does one buy these? The places I've tried (various

It is possible to connect LX200 and QV10.

The program is QVCom.exm by Mr. Brahma.

You can find the program in CR-ROM of the book "HP 200LX HARDWARE BIBLE"
or in Nifty serve FHPPC.

Same speed for both desktop serial ports?

On my 100LX, I had trouble with the Transfile 200 pgm (on the Win95 side)
transfering files to my A: drive (elderly pre ATA flash cards). I was getting
corrupted zip files (ie, bad transmission). Copying the files from the
desktop to the LX C: drive (and then copying to A:) solved the problem.

There is a old orphan math program from Borland.  I found it by making a

find the exact location.  It is a symbolic math type program I think

The Win32 API to convert from a particular code page to Unicode is
MultiByteToWideChar. See
<http://premium.microsoft.com/msdn/library/backgrnd/html/uniwin32.htm>
http://premium.microsoft.com/msdn/library/backgrnd/html/uniwin32.htm , which
also lists the various code pages.

One thing I've been thinking of is fixing the mapping of 200LX European
characters to Windows by calling (in pseudocode):

w = MultiByteToWideChar(c, CP = 850)    // convert from MS-DOS Multilingual
(Latin I)
c = WideCharToMultiByte(w, CP = 1252)   // convert to Windows US

I haven't tried this out but it should work...

I believe that there was talk of an "infocom interpreter" on this list.
I'm pretty sure that you can play Zork on the LX but I haven't seen it.
I have seen "The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy" which was developed in
the same way. The only drawback I can see to playing these games is that
you need to jot things down while playing them. I used to have to draw a
map on large sheets of 132 column computer paper. I guess if you have a
task switcher you can use one of the drawing programs to accomplish
this.

BTW: There's also the classic "Colossal Cave Adventure" game that can be
found on SUPER. This is the granddaddy of all text-based adventure
games... abd is still pretty kewl.

There's also FirstBasic on SUPER. I think it's the latest shareware-ized

It's even hard to find a decent ssh client for Windoze. I believe there

are not very evolved as of yet. Sounds like a great programming project

This is very true. I ended up with F-Secure SSH for Windows from
DataFellows and it has been very good, but it was expensive for a terminal
program.

The guy who does the Topgun series of Pilot software (Ian Goldberg, I
think) did a beta of a SSH client for the Pilot, but it took a bunch of
supporting libraries, was slow and kind of buggy.

A WWW/LX or LXTCP client would be a noble undertaking. :)

I know there have been postings before regarding using the HP with a PCS
phone but I don't remember seeing any specifically for using a Qualcomm
PCS phone. It's based on CDMA and Qualcomm sells a PCMCIA card to
transmit data wireless (unfortunately, it has to convert the data to
analog before it transmits).

Has anyone had any experiences with such a configuration? The card
Qualcomm sells goes for around $300 and I'd like some input before
shelling out the cash.

Thanks,

Subject:      Flash card format utility ?

Hello

A friend lent me an M-Systems Flash disk with 4 Mb capacity.
The card mentions having True FFS (what the hell is that)

Only problem is when I try to format the card throuh the Filer, I get the
message
"Format not supported on drive A:"

What can I do to use the card under my HP 200 Lx ??

I've been to the manufacturers web site and it says that the card is compatible
with the 200 Lx

If there is such a utility, can somebedy point the URL for it ?

Thanks in advance

Zork can be had by going to the following URL.  It's available as
freeware now, along with the sequels Zork II and Zork III. I regularly
play Zork I on the 200LX.  There is an excellent freeware interpreter
called Jzip available off the same page.  One great thing about Jzip is
that it lets you configure the screen for 64x18, making for MUCH easier
reading.

I think it's actually QVRemote on SUPER.  I consider this the best
option because it includes source code (which I modified to make it
recognise my Australian version of the camera).

One day I hope to modify the source to also upload pictures to the
camera.

And the LXTCP source code is freely available, so anyone suitably
motivated is free to take up the challenge :-)

Er, I had already arranged read/write permissions (see above from my
original post), as per the manual entry for lxtools.

Do you think that execute permission is also required?

re: Claud G. Cameron's

I heard someone on this list sorry, lost original post ... maybe the
archives? was working on a "little black box" that would let you use a
real, i.e. ANY keyboard w/ the LX palmtops.

I remember something about a small box, w/ battery and a chip to run things.
Maybe the poster was HOPING someone would rise to the challenge.  The
advantage would be that you can ALWAYS find a keyboard, unplug it and use
this interface we have a few extra keyboards at work, I've got one at home,
etc.  This would keep me from lugging a KB back and forth.

Another alternative is REMKEY on S.U.P.E.R.? where you use your laptop or
computer as a keying device.  I liked using that because I could use the
laptop keyboard that I was VERY familiar with ... at the time, a Compaq Aero
... BUT you get stuck w/ lugging BOTH your laptop and your palmtop.

I have to admit to owning a Newton KB that I rarely use.  It seems to move
and/or the short cable scoots the palmtop around when I try to use it AND
it's both smaller than my Aero KB was and doesn't possess real function
keys.  I'm much less pleased w/ it than I thought I would be.  Tap on a
friend's or visit a store and tap on one that's not plugged in to anything
to get a feel for it before you shell out the dough!

Oops, wasnt paying attention. No, I dont think that setting the execute flag would
help. Make shure that no other program uses the port, or try using /dev/ttyS0

As an aside, there's an excellent 32-bit ssh client called SecureCRT.
Check it out at http://www.vandyke.com.  It does ssh, telnet, and
dialup, has scripting, keyboard customization and macros, fg/bg colors,
rz/sz, printing, and makes espresso.  It's all I use at home and work.

Due to the heavy math involved, writing an ssh client for 8-bit DOS
without a math coprocessor would be pretty hard.  I'm sure it could only
be done in assembler.

FWIW, I run two different exterior ballistics programs on my Palmtop.
They are used for airgun specific sports such as Field Target and
silhouette and are used to calculate trajectories of various precision
airgun pellets.  Since most firearm ballistic programs won't produce
accurate results using such light weight projectiles, if anyone is
interested in these please contact me.

I'v tried various BASIC versions on the HP200LX with varying results:

        GWBASIC         Runs but does not support SOUND, LPRINT, or OPEN COM1,
                        and perhaps other commands (it locks up the HP200LX) - need
                        to reboot. UGH!
        QuickBASIC 4.5  Runs but similar results with GWBASIC. UGH!
        FirstBASIC      Runs but locks the screen after a SOUND, LPRINT or OPEN
                        COM1 command. Still UGH!
        PowerBASIC 3.5  Runs fine, nice IDE, handles LPRINT, and OPEN COM1 just
fine,                   but still locks the screen after a SOUND command and returning
                        from some graphics programs.  Better!
                        PowerBASIC's web page has a demo version of PowerBASIC you can
                        try on the HP200LX (or other DOS machine).
                        When you buy the program, the shipped copy supports much
                        better CGA color/BW/mono display options on the HP200LX screen.

I'm still exploring PowerBASIC at a slow pace.  Will let the HPLX-L list
know of any significant findings.

Hey, when you were playing with these things, did you try any of the
electromagnetic propulsion experiments? Apparently these devices produce
high potential differences which are used in EM propulsion engines, and
there are some experiments (some dangerous) that demonstrate this
phenonenon. Do a search on elecromagnetic propulsion.

I've tried two printers: HP laserjet 5 (via infrared), and Apple
Select 360 (via serial port). Neither was able to recognize the
script. Since the whole matter was was mild importance, I decided to
give it a rest.

I know that Russian fonts exist for Windows and the Mac, but I don't
have a Windows crashmeister anymore...

Thanks to everyone who took the time to consider the answers.

Hi,
Thanx All for your help,
and sorry, WHY I didn't check on SUPER before sending en email?
PLEASE do not answer to this question. ;o).

I found some nice program for win 95/NT too.

hi,
I use sometime FW III on the LX but,
1/ I would like to know if someone have tested the version IV and V-LX.
2/ Is someone have the French dict/spell file for FW III or IV
3/ What are the difference between FW III and FW IV ?

Subject:      Charging Batteries in the LX
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

** Nur Empf-nger **

Good morning fellow LXers,

as a result of the recent discussions regarding the charging of batteries =
in the LX and the heat generated, I built a simple voltage regulator =
(built around an LM 317 with 1000=B5 smoothing) to run a few checks. Here =
are my results:

- I set the output voltage to 10V (minimum is 9.6V according to the =
manual). Since then the LX only gets moderately warm (it was much hotter =
before).

- The LM 317 gets reasonably warm (ca. 40C) without a heatsink - this heat =
was being dissipated in the LX before. I=27ve hardly noticed any screen-fad=
ing since using this module.

Conclusions

The excessive voltage from a 12V supply was causing excessive heat in the =
unit - maybe this was also due to ripple on the supply lines as suggested =
by Frans.

As a bonus, I included a bridge rectifier in the input circuitry, which =
protects against damage caused by reversing the supply lines (the input =
supply voltage must however be over 13V for a 10V output as the rectifier =
/ LM 317 drop about 3V). A single diode would do the same with 0.7V less =
voltage drop than the bridge (but I=27m getting enough from the supply =
so....)

I=27ve also tried the unit in my car and this has proved OK - maybe an =
idea for those of you who expressed concern about connecting the (relativel=
y) unregulated supply in a car to the LX ( it would also be easy to =
incorporate a fuse to protect against current suges but I=27m not that =
paranoid :) ).

Hope this is of use to you

Phil

My apologies - I send my previous email to the wrong place but had
luckily not got around to include the binary!

Since I have wasted band space anyway:
There was some interest in clocks with BIG numbers some time ago. It
should shortly appear on Super.

The executable versions are written in assembler and are therefore the
right ones for the LX: only 312 bytes. I have included the source in
Pascal since quite a number of people wanted to see how to make one and
make their own character set.

Since making numbers involve conversion from binary to one of the the
other number bases, I have also included a program to perform the
conversion (again in LX size: 374 bytes). If you do a lot of this kind of=

stuff, you may want to download the program just to get that.

(relatively) unregulated supply in a car to the LX ( it would also be easy

paranoid :) ).

Well, you *have to* take some measures here. Since HP decided to connect
the power connector "the other way around", i.e. the plus on the outer
ring, there is a potential dangerous situation if you don't have the HP
connected. If the cord is drifting around in the car, it is easy for the
outer ring of the connector to touch some (grounded) metal in the car. A
car battery can easily deliver 100's of Amps... Get the picture? For this
purpose I made a cable myself, where I have put a small 10 ohms resistor in
series with the plus. It avoids serious sparks, and acts as a fuse if the
cable touches some ground. It limits the currents to 1 Amp, which is
sufficient for the HP, but not enough to cause any fireworks.

Didn't the 95LX include a bridge like this?  Seems like I heard that
this "feature" went away with the 100/200LX.  Anyone confirm this?

Could have been much worse...could have lost my LX!


I got the camera a few months back from BuyComp, but now I can't seem

Can anyone of you recommend a camera in the $200-$300 range with:

- built-in flash
- JPEG compression on CF media
- VIDEO out jack
- rechargable AA's

No.

Make sure you also have write permissions to the /var/locks directory.

Here's how I set up the permissions:

% ls -l /usr/local/bin/lx*
-rwxr-sr-x   1 uucp     uucp        16888 Oct 14  1997 /usr/local/bin/lxbackup
-rwxr-sr-x   1 uucp     uucp        14644 Oct 14  1997 /usr/local/bin/lxcopy
-rwxr-sr-x   1 uucp     uucp         9400 Oct 14  1997 /usr/local/bin/lxdel
-rwxr-sr-x   1 uucp     uucp         9564 Oct 14  1997 /usr/local/bin/lxdir
-rwxr-sr-x   1 uucp     uucp         9432 Oct 14  1997 /usr/local/bin/lxmkdir
-rwxr-sr-x   1 uucp     uucp         9488 Oct 14  1997 /usr/local/bin/lxrmdir

% ls -l /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw-r--   1 uucp     uucp       4,  64 May  5 16:32 /dev/ttyS0

% ls -ld /var/lock/
drwxrwxr-x   3 root     uucp         1024 Sep 20 03:18 /var/lock/

Note the set group id bit on the lxtools executable.  I don't like setting
things set group/user id to root so I used uucp which I believe is
somewhat standard for the lock directory.

You can test your setup by using the built-in HP terminal program and a
terminal program on linux like kermit, seyon, or minicom.  Connect the PC and
HP using the HP serial cable (which is a NULL modem cable so you don't need
any more adapters).  Run the HP program, set your port to COM1:, and check
your speed/parity/stop bits settings.  Then run the linux terminal program,
set your port to the appropriate device (/dev/ttyS?, /dev/cua?, etc.), and
make sure your speed/parity/stop bits settings are exactly the same as the
HP.  Then try typing some characters on either machine.  If you see what you
typed on the other machine, your serial connection is ok.

I found that if I used the terminal program on the HP, then tried to use
the filer transfer with lxtools, I get a similar error message to what you're
getting.  A simple Ctrl-Alt-Del on the HP fixes that, though I'm sure
there's a better way to clear the COM1: port.

I can't speak for LX compatibility, but a good source I've found for
shopping for digital cameras by preferences is the pc-photo forum. Here's
the website for their quick pick comparison page.

I'm very sorry to hear that. If I had one, I'd give it to ya gratis.
You'd deserve it after all you've done for the list members. Maybe the
list members can donate a few bux to the "Al Kind Camera Fund" and we
can get it replaced :-)

Just thought I'd let you know you're not alone in using FW. I have FW3 on
the LX too and bought a copy of FW4 from another list member several weeks
ago, but due to a change in jobs I haven't had time to make much of a
comparison...haven't reinstalled it on a PC since the change.

I haven't tried FW5 at all, so I have no comments on that one, nor do I
know of a French dictionary for FW.

FW4 looks like it adds support for bit-mapped fonts and has a print-preview
feature, but I don't have a feel yet for how well those features work.

The Import/Export feature adds support for MS Word and Wordperfect, but
failed to recognize the MS Word version 6 document I gave it.

They added a nice papertape calculator tool, but as to other differences,
that'll have to wait till I get a PC on my desk again!

Tough luck Al. Maybe it'll turn up yet in some nook or cranny.

As you know, I have essentially the same camera (Konica Q-Mini) which
I'd bought (with some aggravation) from E-bay, the online auction. You
may want to give that a shot if you start getting desperate:
        http:\\www.ebay.com

If you're relatively sure of where you "left" it and it's gone, then it's
a theft, whereas if you don't recall where you left it, it's "lost".

The distinction may be important in getting your new camera as most
homeowner's insurance policies in the US covers theft of property (even
away from home) but not if you just can't remember where you left it
(since it may still be there). If you report it as a theft, remember to
also file a police report and get a case number for the insurance company,
that way the new "proud owner" (who probably owns a Nikon 900 anyway <g>)
has the opportunity to return it.

All this comes courtesy of my own "much worse" experience of losing my
LX 2 years ago.

Good luck. The bright side is that better cameras may now be available for
same price.

Derive is alive and well at www.derive.com . They support and sell v. 4.06
that works like a charm on the LX. In fact it even uses light sleep mode to
conserve batteries I am told. (But haven't actually measured.) You can find
derive libraries of functions plus various manuals on the net.
Prentice Hall has a series of books on Derive called "Learning through
Computer Algebra".
I can recomend "Learning Modelling with Dervie" and "Learning Linear
Algebra with Derive".

I have news for you!
The LX (wonderfull piece of engineering that it is) can accept pure AC to
the 12V connector. There is a rectifier built in. I have used a miniature
AC adaptor (travel light!) for years to no ill effect. It generates 11.4V
rms idle and this drops to around 10V with the LX plugged in.
Cheers,
Paul

Include me in the "interested" category.
I presently use Solver, 1-2-3, Derive, Matlab and pspice and since I am a
fluffy old Lx'er I find that these pieces of software more than taxes my
mathematical abilities!
I am up to a challenge though, and if Eureka is it, then I'll change!

Ritz Camera now has the Epson PhotoPC 600 listed at $329.95. I know this is
a little higher than you wanted to spend, but the camera has all the
features you wanted (I don't know about LX compatibility) and max.
resolution of 1024x768 as well as a monochrome mode.

Ritz website: http://www.ritzcamera.com/buyers/digital/html/Epson600.htm
Epson website: http://www.epson.com/cam_scan/cameras/photopc600/

Of course, the big question is do they have any in stock?

Since, *this* apple fell a little further from the family tree, I couldn't
immediately see how you wired the Ammeter into things in series.  Did you
pull the batteries out, put them in a holder; then clip it all together w/
alligator clips ... or did this operation involve tape and a few extra hands
... ?

Thanks!

As part of looking up some digital camera information, I realized that my
Epson cameras use some interesting AA NiMh rechargeable batteries.

EU-24 1.2v/1400mAh

I was wondering if these might be used in the 200lx? I haven't seen any
posts on batteries rated this high. Would charging them in the 200lx hurt
anything? They cost a fortune from Epson ($60 for 4), but I have a spare set
left from someone breaking a camera.

Hello,

I am that person.  Unfortunately, I have not been working on the project;
and have been off-line. Life seemed to get in the way.  Now that I am back,
 I will be working on this with full vigor.  Currently the box is designed
and the most of the software is written...There is one problem.  PC
Keyboards are allowed to draw up to 150 mA, which is a lot for 3 AA
batteries.  Any suggestions?

If price is no problem, consider refitting a Keytronics IR keyboard
(using a cable, not IR) with your electronics, using the internal
batteries for power.  I understand that this kills the "use anyone's
keyboard" part of the design, but it might be a "clean" enough approach
to warrant carrying a special keyboard.

I found someone in Melbourne/Australia who is selling FW IV for US$10.
I remember FW4 need more memory to run.
I don't think it's possible to open any Word 5 or 6 doc (rtf is not bad).
Do you know if the shortkey are the same in FW3 and FW4?

How about this:  I have done some work using CTTY and a terminal.  For
fixed installations (like an office) terminals can be had for real cheap
(less than $20 typically).  But this limits you to text-mode programs,
and not all programs recognize the CTTY redirection.

Perhaps a compromise would be a keyboard driver that is like a 1/2 CTTY.
It only re-directs the keyboard input from local keyboard to the COM1
port.  This way, a terminal or computer/terminal-emulator combination
could be used as the keyboard, and the 200LX would still be the display.
Also, perhaps the keyboard itself could be re-programmed to act as
a 1/2 terminal, simply spewing forth ASCII characters as they are typed.


I noticed mention of a driver on SUPER that did this to a point, but
I believe that it actually runs a program on your PC, thus *requiring*
a computer.  Presumably I couldn't run this with a real terminal.

PC keyboards require an external power source that the LX can't supply.
Also, although the keyboard delivers a basically serial signal, it
delivers scan codes that are different than the RS-232 the LX expects.
A black box could be made, but it would have to supply power and have
a microprocessor to convert the signal.

Newton keyboards have seen used on the web for $60, and the driver needed
for the LX is free (Pilot owners have to pay $40 to get a driver). I tried one
a
while back and it was quite nice, good touch and keystroke travel. About three
or
4 times the volume of the LX. It draws power from the LX.

An interesting idea is to get an RS-232 terminal (as connected to mainframes)
and use the LX tty output.Then you have a keyboard and a screen if you
use the apporpriate software.

This was discussed extensively a fwe months back. Look in the archive.

As per a few previous posts..the Win95 drivers dont like stacker..  I have
changed to using Jam and have had the same results I used to from Stacker
when under dos etc..

ie backup stacked card
reboot without running stacker
unhide stacker.vol
delete same.

Place jam drivers and config details etc on A:
Jcreate jam.drv

This can then be accessed from both the LX and a win95 Machine.

Hope this helps

Hi all, (and All!)

Here's a curly question, my appt.adb is around 60-80kb and using it
means a 4-6 second pause while it writes data, but recently, for just
a tantalizing while, it got faster!

I mean sub-second!

Writing a note, or extending a note in an appointment and then pressing
F10 would see an hour glass take up residence for an age, but last
week, (I have had my std 200LX for 2 1/2 years) each time I pressed
F10, it was only taking .5-.9 seconds to write.

Then, as a thief in the night, it stole away...

Now, I am back to 4-6 seconds.

I have no tsr's exept a font, and remming that, or booting from the d:
drive
does not affect either fast or slow state.

I have tried pulling all batteries, (after backing up in 3 discrete
places!) and
then copying all the files back after restarting, I have tried optimizing
with
speedisk (norton) and I have tried clearing the max space (up to 500k free
on c:) all to no avail.

So where does/did this speed hit come from?

I have a lot of repeating appts (School timetable) but these only go to Dec
98
and the speed increase last week was with all these still in the file...

Any clues?

Hi Stacy, nice to have you back on "our team"

As for battery power, how about a little 9v number?

I believe the PCMCIA card you are referring to is a modem card capable of
connecting to the Qualcomm phone and also directly to any phone line.
It can only be used with the Qualcomm in analog mode.
Also you should check the current draw since the 200LX has a maximum limit
of 150 mA capacity.

Hi Al,

I have used FW since v1.0, and have just recently loaded FW IV on my 2Mb
LX200.

I cannot verify the amount of memory used when FW IV is running but will do
some more research,
 - I seem to remember that FW IV did require more RAM.

Main reasons I upgraded from FW III were print preview (OK - not
brilliant), better access/updating
dBase III files directly and ability to use Bitstream fonts with Laser
printer.

Summary of differences from FW III:
- Left, centre & right aligned tabs
- Proportional printing - 15 font groups per printer
- Page preview
- Enhanced access to dBase files, including update
- Much improved graphs with facility to use scalable bitstream fonts -
still limited in appearance but
  the ability to overlay one graph on another is still something I can't
achieve in Windoze!
- Import/export CGM graphics files - limited use as scaling is
slow/difficult and printing CGM images
  is excruciatingly slow (unusably slow).
- Enhanced mailmerge including computed fields etc

Files on my LX200 total about 2.8Mb plus 800K of  Font files. This could be
decreased by about 600K
by deleting fontset/print preview and setup files.
I have not loaded the help files as they are quite large. The English spell
checker & thesaurus take up about 750K but I find that the spell checker is
better than that is MS Word 7.0.

I no longer have FW III but if I did I think I would probably use that to
save size since the files for fonts would not take up space, but I do like
the ability to update dBase files from within FW IV.

There is a palmtop LX200 version of FW V available, but I've seen now
reviews/comments about FW V (or FW VI) so am unlikely to upgrade without
some form of evaluation. Framework is still being updated and I would like
to know more about FW V or VI from a user - see the web site

Ah! I see!
I take a piece of PostIt, fold it with the sticky part out, and cut away
the non sticky part so that I'm left with a strip appx the same width as an
AA cell. I theplace a strip of aluminium foil on either side. Next I remove
one of the batteries, and insert this yellow contraption in between the
battery and the centre terminal. Only now do I take out my litle aligator
clip and connect my ammeter in series!
If the Post-It/foil combo is the correct length it will fold nicely so that
you can operate your LX on a flat surface in the usual manner.
See? Quite simple really...

Warning - electrical engineering theory follows....

This is a plea for a bit of clarity when we all talk about current
measurements, since we might have measured different things:

1 - battery current
2 - a/c adaptor current, or
3 - PCMCIA card current.

The first is pretty easy to measure if you are good with alligator clips,
needing just some way to interrupt one of the battery connections to insert
the milliammeter.
Likewise the second just needs the adaptor wire to be cut (!).
The third is more difficult since you need a PCMCIA extender card.

Why does it matter?

Well the first (3V battery current) is important when investigating battery
life and the effects of Filer on lite sleep etc.

The second will be completely different because you're putting in about 12V
at x milliamps which is internally converted to 5V at y milliamps.
And probably to some other voltages for the LCD...
(Yes, the 3V battery at z milliamps is also converted to 5V at y milliamps)

The third is important when considering if a PCMCIA modem will operate,
because the internal converter can only deliver about 150mA to the PCMCIA
socket (at 5V).

Now it is possible to approximate the relationship between y and z.  In an
ideal world (100% efficiency) the 3V battery would have to deliver 250mA to
become 5V at the PCMCIA delivering 150mA.  But assume the efficiency of the
converter is about 80% (it might well be less), and you'll find that the 3V
battery has to deliver 312.5mA

OK, enuff theory, sorry for the interruption to the normal flow of fluff.

BTW, I never measured any of the currents on my hp200 (single speed, 2M)
but a set of alkalines lasts me 2 to 3 months at my daily usage (never with
modem on batteries, usually with a/c adaptor when using serial port to
connect to desktop PC).

Duracells: 58, 92 days
Energizers: 88, 15 days (experimenting with modems!)
Philips Graphite: 76, 81, 83 days

Current (excuse pun) set of Duracells has been running 25 days and now
shows 3/4 full in Setup, or 2.5V with that big clock application that has
the voltage in the top left corner...

I'll bet it was lite sleep getting deactivated..  Try this, save (exit) =
and
hold a shift key or something and see if that affects it any..

Otherwise, let us know if you figure it out..

If it is just a single diode, you are actually feeding your LX half of the
time, switching this on and off 50 times / second (in the US: 60 times /
second). Seems like charging a battery will take longer then.

If it however is a full bridge rectifier, it solves that problem, but
actually this is bad design practice. I usually charge my LX from my 100Amp
12V source, which also feeds my shortwave transmitter and is therefor
grounded (the min lead of course). Also, I connect my Palmtop to my desktop
computer, which is also grounded via the mains plug. The result: the ground
of the serial connector of the LX is grounded (via the desktop PC) and the
power input is grounded via the huge 12V power supply. The rectifier diode
is somewhere in between, and shorted out via the ground path. Depending on
the design, the whole circuit in the LX (behind the internal regulated
power supply) will receive 0.7 volts extra than it was designed for. :-(

I expect to be not the only one who is feeding the LX with a grounded
supply, and having the serial connector connected to a grounded desktop
machine. It is worth figuring out how the circuit works and whether
problems can be expected.

If by "shortkey" you mean the "in" and "out" keys...I don't know since
I haven't even installed FW4 on the LX yet. I assume they're the same
as for FW3 which would be the Fn-1 (out) and Fn-2 (in) keys.

The customized version of FW4 and FW5 being sold at www.framework.com
has programmed those keys using two of the blue app keys.

Draw a picture of your setup.  You will find that in no instance is the
cathode of the proposed diode (to be attached to the input of the
regulator feeding the palmtop) ever exposed to a ground connection.  The
palmtop is the load for the diode/regulator "leg" of your power system.
Unless you have some unusual configuration using a positive ground (some
real old tube based equipment or what have you) the ground connections
are all at the same potential and there should be no DC current loops.
The cable between your PC and the palmtop is not a current path for DC
power, remember unless one of your "grounds" is isolated from chassis
ground they will all be the same potential.  However it might be a path
for induced current from your radio equipment, and to that end I would
suggest a ferrite bead on the signal lines in that serial cable.

Yes, You need a null-modem in between the connections. Also, there is a

Cluad, I use the Newton Kbd often, and like it a lot, esp. on long jobs like
manuals etc. The Newton is esp. fitting the palmtop because of size and
weight. Other keyboards might work but would you carry one in your suitcase?
It would be reasonable to use at a desk. If so, there is a program out there
that will let you use the desktop kbd while desktop is connected to palmtop.
Don't have the name, sorry.

Re price of Newton: Look at it this way: the kbds are about $80 each, and
cable is about $10. There is some work involved in redoing the cables. I hate
to remind you, but I think it is fair to assume that Shier should make some
profit, so there you have the price. Without going into details, I can tell
you that Shier's profit in this is very small. Without profit, his business
has no motivation or reason to remain open, as any other business. "Chiseling"
can only go so far without damaging the vendor.

Yes, you are right in what you say, but my interest was in prolonging
battery life, that's why I measured battery drain.
btw this drain not only varies with the actual load, but becaus of the
DC/DC converter, also on battery internal resistance, and so varies with
temp. and age and point on life cycle of the cells.

PS. I would be surprised if the DC/DC converter was less than 90%
efficient...

I had this machine done by Times2Tech as a backup for my 64MB DS. It
started life as a 2MB so it has the big 1.3 MB C: drive (F: after the

it, I have all of the original packing materials, promotional propaganda
and all the manuals still shrink-sealed. The only problem with this

     last couple of weeks thru DPS (in Colorado) but they have sent two
     that had the same bad disk(#3)disk and are holding me up for the
     shipping costs to return the items ($10-ea)--implying that no return
     no credit on my BankCard.  Do business with DPS with care!  (Transfile
     won't work on the "DOS Only" laptop that I borrow from my tech shop to
     use for the connection.)

     Earlier today, I saw one from Charlie McNeil but the email that I sent
     to him at ix.netcom came back via my network administrator--couldn't
     deliver.  Charlie, if you're out there or if someone has a 200 lx
     connectivity pack with all the stuff either email me back or call this
     week on (404)305-6861.

     Thx,

     Leo

Subject:      New USENET group, digital cameras, 3D with 200LX.

        Hello all,

    Thanks for the many replys for my 700LX questions. But whether
    the OGO700LX is factory double-speed just remains open, as you
    said yes/no 50% percent... "certainly feels faster than 200lx"

    There is a new USENET group called comp.sys.wearables, I think.
    HPLX certainly qualifies. There is already external chording kbd.
    and 2,5mm phonejack implant, so all you needed is external video.

    What's inside the PCMCIA VGA-out module for the 620/660LX? Is it
    a real PCMCIA card or a simple A/D converter? Have anyone tried
    to access such a thing in a 200LX? Or possibly hack the flat data
    wires to LCD for stealing the video signals for use with displays
    built in some glasses. Stephan Peichl told me that 200LX can do
    120Hz vertical refresh rate; that's enough for fake-3D with
    special glasses that screen off one and the other eye every time.
    (What a 3D CGA world looks like, well I don't have any idea.)

    For Digital cameras: there is a common chip, used in Agfa, Canon
    Toshiba cameras (but not the Apples 8-( ). For that chip, there
    is a plain DOS utility that does simple download via RS-232 and
    saves in JPG format. For Casio QV10/100 proprietary file format,
    LxPic has internal converter. Here are some URL's:

    Last simple question (just curious, how about it overseas):
    How many of yours know of such places and visits the so called
    Computer Junkyards: places where really obsolete things, like
    XTs, terminals, daisy-printers are for sale - if you can dig it
    from below piles of other junk. Nice things surface sometimes.

              Sincerely:  Tamas Feher.

   P.s.: If anyone could help me with AS/400 hardware expertise, then
         please contact me. I was given an AS/400 (free), eg. 9406 w/
         5 x 9336 (two big grey cabinets) and need help reviving it.
         More specs and photos of this config. in 10th floor flat
         upon request. I can't get official IBM support, obviously.
         I need help with error locating and hard drive diagnosing,
         plus drive controller testing. May have 1-2 dead 9336 HDDs.

Hi DOn and welcome to the list. The Clik pretty much got beat to death
on the Palm Pilot list earlier this year back when it was still
vaporware.  My guess is for the price an ATA card would work as well and
be more durable.

After all the messages i've read about the effects of Coke in the palmtop,=
 I
almost did it myself.

I had the palmtop closed and off on the table, sitting down to send some
email, and my modem cable grabbed a Coke can that had just a little left =
it
in.  Well, it spilled right behind the machine, getting a little on the =
hinge
and battery door.  I quickly turned her upside down and grabbed a paper =
towell
and wiped off the external Coke and poked the corner into the cracks near =
the
area.

I think a little bit must have gotten inside, through the spaces above =
the
keyboard near the hinge because she woulnd't turn on!!  I'm sure my wife
thought I was going to pass out, she said I turned white as a sheet.

I tried AC, still nothing..  Then I tried Shift+Ctrl ON and that brought =
her
right up.

Hope I don't see any lingering effects, so far she's okay.

Whew..

The extra battery usage of a device like the clik drive is a valid
concern but I doubt that an ATA flash card will ever touch it in
price. The drive will probably retail around $200 and the disks should
come in at less than $10 each. That means for the price of 1 40M ATA
flash card you could easily have 10 times as much storage with the
clik drive, and thats if you can find a 40M flash card for $300. I
really like my zip drives as secondary storage for my notebook
computers and I think the clik drive would work equally as well for
smaller systems.

It has been promised since early fall of 1997 and no signs of it yet.  At
least, I havn't seen it available and the CE guys drooling in
anticipation of it havn't mentioned its arrival on any of their lists
either.  Maybe by Christmas this year but don't hold your breath.  It
isn't, by any chance, named in honor of the "Click of Death" problem that
affected their Zip drives is it <g>?

A. The sparq drive costs more than the zip drive
B. The sparq disks are more fragile than zip disks
C. The cost isn't that different when I get zip disks for $5 each
D. The zip drive is not "slow like a floppy", granted not as fast as
   sparq, or jaz, or MO, or ...
E. I prefer the zip drive and if that "disgusts" you thats your
   problem.

Yes. You need a thing that would be called a `BASIC compiler'.

Subject:      Looking for PC keyboard to Palmtop software
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

Hello all,

A couple years back, I recall using a DOS program that ran on the PC and
allowed me use my PC's keyboard to run my palmtop.  I can't remember the
name.  I am hoping someone can remember it, and maybe point me to an
archive that has the file.

Thanks,

Jose

Hello  everyone

After reading the various posts on the above I thought it would be a good program
to check out. It is great. It really is like reading a paperback. I'm reading two books
now! I was wondering though. How does one go about making an etext? What kind of
scanner and software would be good? Would a handheld scanner work? Thanks.

An etext is basically just a pure ascii text file. It's nothing fancy. I
guess you could theorectically scan a book then use OCR software, but my
experiences with OCR software hasn't been a pleasant one. One thing you
should be aware of is the fact that most books would be covered by some
type of copyright law. Good luck!

I can confirm FW 4 uses Fn-1 & Fn-2, ie Fn key following by number key 1 or
2 for
(out) & (in) equivalent to F11 & F12 on desktop PC.

When installed using CGA Color Text screen driver, zoom works to display 3

zoom allowing for easy reading eg spreadsheets etc. - CGA Color Graphics
screen driver
provides a prettier 25 line display and shows text attributes on screen, eg
italics are sloped

Subject:      Curious about Juno

A routine message I recently received from Juno (free email) says their
software works with Win98, 95, NT, 3.1x, and 3.0.  Am I to understand
correctly that Win3.0 runs on the 200lx?  If so, then it should be
possible to use Juno on the 200lx correct?

We use Juno just to keep our list-serve messages separate from
personal/business accounts so I'm hardly willing to install Win3.0 just
for Juno but I was surprised that they support back to 3.0.

Just rambling again.  Sorry.

Yes Juno will run under Win 3.0, but it requires a 386 and VGA
capabilties, and will not work in real mode, thus it will not work on the LX.

Dear all,

I've just bought a 2nd hand Compaq Contura 410. I can't get it to recognise
my PC card which works just fine in my HP200lx. The card is labelled on the
front:

IBM PCMCIA ThinkPad File

and on the back there is a sticker:

TPF - 10MB REV 4
1992 Sundisk

plus serial #'s and stuff. Can one of you great people help me with
driver/s?, installation of drivers, or other information I need?

Thanks in advance,

Doric.

Why don't you try REALLY disabling lite-sleep. Get LX-STAT and use that.
Then use it to turn lite sleep back on, and try it that way.

Or you could use it with AC power and without to see if there's a
difference.

That's right. But there is always one diode being shorted out: the negative
input of the rectifier does not have the same potential as the negative
coming out of it.

Yes it is, since it shorts out a diode (0.7Volts difference) of the
rectifier. See the remark above.

There is already one. Apart from this, the LX is extremely insensitive for
RF current. Have had my cellular phone on numerous occasions on top of the
palmtop. Have had the LX in my pocket when staying next to a mobile HF
antenna transmitting 100 Watts. Never had any problems with it.

Not a stupid question, merely a question.

Yes, you can turn a BASIC program into an .exe. You'll need a compiler
compatible with the OS you are using. There are many compilers available for
the PC and many of them are free or low cost. People could (and have) argued
for years as to which one is best, so you'll have to find the one that best
suits your needs.
Probably the most famous is QuickBASIC 4.5 from Microsoft. Don't confuse
this with QBASIC that comes with MS-DOS 5 and up, though they are similar.

Do you have ALL the PCMCIA drivers installed on the laptop? Compaq's PCMCIA
drivers for the Contura series can be disabled or removed based on what you
do and don't want to support. For instance, a modem could work but a flash
card won't. Also, make sure you have the latest drivers. I seem to remember
that the Contura's original drivers wouldn't recognize any flashdisk, but
have added support since.

Also, is the flash card standard DOS formatted with no compression? My
Contura won't work with any of my flashcards if they're compressed.

I have a Contura Aero and the same IBM flashdisk you're talking about.

Here's my .02 (I use both sparq and zip). It all depends on the amount of
information you need to move really. If I'm only moving small amounts of
data and/or want to give the disks to people, then I use zip. If I'm
achiving or moving large amounts of data, I use the sparq.

As bad as many think zip is, it was the first to gain large market
acceptance so it will probably be around for a long time. Anyone remember
the VHS/Beta wars? Quantity over Quality.

My personal preference is for neither. I prefer my CD-RW. Drive cost is
high, but $0.75/650mb can't be touched, plus more people have CD-ROM drives
than zips and sparqs combined.

Now, as for your arguments...

>A. The sparq drive costs more than the zip drive

Yes, the zip drive is cheaper. This is the point most people seem to get
stuck on, which to me is unfortunate. No company makes very much on the
drive. Profit is on the accessories. For example, a drive that costs $10 is
not much of a bargain if the media costs $10 and only stores 10mb
($1000/Gb).

>B. The sparq disks are more fragile than zip disks

This is the one I'll really argue. I can't count the number of zip disks
we've thrown away because they just break for no reason. Ever hear of "Click
of Death"? Even Iomega says not to use zips for long-term storage. One of my
sparq drives is the primary hard disk for a pc (for multiple OS) and hasn't
quit for 6 months now, nor have I lost a disk despite repeated drops.

>C. The cost isn't that different when I get zip disks for $5 each

Yes, per disk zips are cheaper. But even at $5/disk, 1 gig of zip costs $50
vs. 1 gig of sparq at $30.

>D. The zip drive is not "slow like a floppy", granted not as fast as
>   sparq, or jaz, or MO, or ...

OK, this I agree on.

P.S. I am not disgusted by any zip disk users. I do think Iomega makes very
poor products, but this is merely an opinion, not a fact.

Subject:      Database with Short wave radio frequencies
Content-Type: text/plain

Hi,

Following a recent request for a database with some short wave
transmissions, I used this as a learning curve to get into database
design and usage in the HP.

Basically I down loaded the Belgium DX club's list of stations
broadcasting DX related programs, converted these to CDF, then to a GDB
file.

the fields are:
Day (1=monday)
Time of Tx
Country of origin
Station
Language (Eng, French, German, Italian)
Programme name
Freq of Tx (up to 6 different for some stations)

The list contains some 160 entries through the week and are
(I assume) aimed at Europe.

If anybody would like a copy please mail me and I'll send one over.
(unfortunately I havn't got a web page yet, next project).

73s

Be aware that there are 2 types of NiMH batteries (from what I've
read.). The gel type that times2tech sells for $12/pair will hold a
longer charge "on the shelf" whereas the regular NiMH cells will
dissipate quickly even without use.

John - A lot of books that the copyright has expired on have been converted
to etext.  One of the best sources is:
        ftp://uiarchive.cso.uiuc.edu/pub/etext/gutenberg/etext94/
another is:
        ftp://wiretap.spies.com

I've downloaded a great number of books from both sites.  Check them out.

Hi All:

     I just found that the VIEW.EXE program by B. J. Guillot (included
with the BGFax package available on S.U.P.E.R. will view .MFX files.
This way you can view your previously sent/rec'd FAXes from your
desk/lap top PC or from your LX w/o the EXP card.

Hello All,

I have an Ace DoubleFlash Plus 40/80 ATA card.  I would like to back it
up to a regular computer by putting it in a PCMIA slot and reading it,
but I'm not sure if this will cause problems.  Could the card be damaged
by doing this, or is it compatible?

I want a place for ACT! specific discussion. I find I get my best use out
of mailing lists that are often silent.  Low volume but about a subject
that is of interest to me.

The OS/2 Database mailing list is often quiet for WEEKS at a time.  But
when I need help or someone else does or there is something new of
interest it become invaluable.

I doubt we did that. We would have no reason to unless there was
something wrong with your original unit.  We certainly wouldn't have
done so for the extra MB. If you are sure you only have 1 MB we will
change it.

<<Just pass 3 months warranty and suffering total lost in the

Just look at the instructions and disk that came along with the unit to
reinstate your 32 Meg drive.  If there really is a problem, just include
this email, and we'll fix it on warranty.

My Thaddeus upgraded 200LX has never missed a lick.  I here of some
problems from time-to-time and was wondering if anyone keeps track of
the ratio of (in-use?) units to units with problems.  I'm not even
suggesting for a second that I suspect _anything_, I just thought it

The problem with that is that many cdrom drives will not read cd-rw
and this is a fact, not an opinion. Of course for your own personal
use that is not as much an issue.

You are increasing the difference by a factor of 20 since in reality
the disks are $5 and store 100M. Also I would rather have two zip
drives than one sparq since I have many systems that I use them on.

Just don't even try to send one anywhere, they don't hold up real
well in transit. The sparq disks are fine as long as they are handled
with a certain amount of care. As someone pointed out they are more
like a hard disk and this applies to fragility as well. As far as zip
disk failures I have over 100 disks, 4 drives and a dozen systems I
use them on and have yet to have a SINGLE failure. This is the old
case of the problems being heard and the sucesses never being heard.
All the people that have had problems complain loudly and it seems
like the whole lot is bad but if that was really the case the zip
drive wouldn't be the great seller it is. The issue of VHS versis
Beta was not in quality of the hardware or reliablity it was a
subjective image quality issue and most users couldn't see enough
difference to justify the smaller capacity of Beta so VHS won. The
same thing is happening with zip, while there may be problems they
are obviously not to great that the average user is going to dump all
their zip drives in favor of something else.

Well in my opinion there products are quite servicable and I am happy
with them. I might add I must not be in a minority either since zip
drive sales seem to be doing quite well. Another point, the
technology behind the sparq and the iomega jaz, is not new. It has
been around for years in one form or another and while it has
survived it has never gotten very big sales wise, there must be a
reason don't you think?

I finally got around to reading the manual for the 200lx and discovered
that you can compose your own little alarms in a text editor.

I've seen plenty of creative icons to download but where are the serious
and silly musical contributions of 200lx users?

Seems a pretty good contest would be composing the preeminent 200lx alarm
(or at least cribbing it from a real composer).

Subject:      Goin' Postal Apology

I want to apologize to Steve Lawson for my previous comments about Goin'
Postal.  Apparently I was having a string of bad luck for a couple of days
and it wasn't solely due to his program.  Part of it was a loose phone cord
connection in my modem's X-Jack connector.

After using the program for a couple of weeks, I'd like to go on record by
saying that Goin' Postal is an excellent communication program.  I'm running
it on my 1x spd, 2 meg 200LX like a charm. It does have a lot of features
for its very small size. I guess that I'd grown used to the numerous
features of Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Explorer over the years, but
this is due to their HUGE program sizes. I uninstalled MS Explorer 4.0 after
a short time because the full installation took up about 100 meg (I think)
on my 1 gig hard drive!

I would accept the trade off of a larger program for some additional
features like multiple mailboxes, folders, etc., but I acknowledge and
understand Steve's goal of having the program run on 1 meg machines.

The decision that I'll need to make is if I want to manage HTML messages on
my 200LX and thus purchase WWW/LX. I currently miss receiving some of my
regular emails that are only available in this format.

Steve, thanks for an excellent program and a month long trial period with
the full features of Goin' Postal.

Rick

P.S. I wish WWW/LX would permit a more reasonable trial arrangement.

Rick - I don't think WWW/POST/LX will enable you to "manage HTML
messages" the way Netscape or MSIE do. You won't see the coloured
backgrounds, ivy borders, or "outside" fonts. Rather, all this stuff
will be nicely encaplulated, to be dealt with, somehow. You will have
a fairly smooth way to handle intramessage URLs, for separate
processing.

For my needs (and everyone's needs are different...), all HTML
management is done with {DEL} key.

The Square Note v4.1 allows some basic
formatting for printouts and is more
portable in that there is a feature that
allows transferring to a floppy and then
importing the new information back into your
main database when you return to your main
computer.  Smaller subsets can be esily
carried on the palmtop when I need to free
up memory.  I my case, I am usually only
researching one branch of the family at any
given time.  Since much of the info is
waiting for my to classify it properly by
subject I am sure I have some duplicate
records.  However, since this doesn't keep
me from being able to find what I am looking
for I am in no hurry to tidy up.

Unfortunately, I don't remember if either
feature is included in the free demo.  I
upgraded within a couple of weeks because it
seemed the full version would suit my needs
very well.

Sorry for the tardy response.

2.  On a double speed palmtop, with a simple tech flash card, approximately

Wow, thank you for posting the nice apology to the list!

Whichever way you go, I hope you'll find dealing with your email on the
road a whole lot nicer than dragging around a big laptop!  My friend in
England, since getting his 700lx, says he rarely uses his laptop
anymore.

I haven't taken my laptop on the last few trips I've made, the entire
"road warrior" kit fits in a small plastic pistol case.  A few individuals
have recognized the case though, which gets some rather interesting looks!
The best one was going into the post office to get a passport for my
wife - after convincing the guy I wasn't there to shoot anybody we had a
good laugh when I showed him the name of my software! :-)

OK, I am a little confused about this quicken stuff.  Please, folks, help
the lost!

I am using the palmtop for everything except mananging my money.  I use
quicken (vesion 5 or 6?) on my win 95 machine and wan t to sync it with my
palmtop.

What can we acutally do with this combination. should I use the
connectivity pack?  Does Intuit even sell the PQ software anymore for the
connection?  Does anyone want to sell one?

I want to be able to have my main data on the laptop, but want the latest
info on the palmtop and want to make changes on the 200 that I can then
sync with the laptop.  this would provide the most synchronization.

Please, help me clear up my understanding of this topic!

Let's not forget that the "T" in HTML stands for TEXT, and that the
source file is plain ASCII and can be read in any plain editor.

A caution about QuickBASIC.

When working within the QuickBASIC editor, the automatic shutoff on the 200LX
will not work.  Not a real problem if you are aware of it.

Not a problem when running programs written in QuickBASIC.

True. But this raises a question: who needs the ornamental material.
Obviously, some do - it wouldn't be around otherwise. I'll allow
myself to assume that most of us in this list don't need the visual
adornments for text - if we did we wouldn't be using DOS machines.

        Dear LXers,

    Thanks for Mr. Hoger who helped me with IC pinout info first.
    I can solder the small gizmo I'll need on Sunday, tomorrow.

    And a question: do you know if the 3 built-in serial printer
    drivers support color printing? The IBM Graphics Printer/
    Quietwrite actually had 4 color CMYK ribbons. Not sure about
    the Epson FX-80 and HP Laserjet was mono for sure.

            Thank you for attention:
                                      Tamas Feher.

Does anyone know if the linesort feature in Info Select for DOS on the
LX can be turned off at a certain section in a window?

At the moment I have my "today's to do" in a window sorted by number and
my "master to do" in an adjacent window divided into project headings.
Imwant to combine these into one window but right now activating
linesort merges the two together according to number and alphabet
priority. What I want to do is to only sort on the numbered "today's to
do".

Subject:      Magnifying the LX screen
MIME-Version: 1.0

I came across an interesting web site www.sightsheet.com.

It advertises a stick on plastic magnifier for fixing on to maps,
telephone directories. They sent me a free sample which I use to magnify
the screen. I find it particularly useful for magnifying the text in
Info Select windows.

I was really looking for something that I could attach to the grey
plastic border around the screen and leave it there. You can't do that
with this. You have to hold it about 6 -12" away from the screen. I
asked if they had a more powerful one with dimensions to fit the LX and
they said they would be developing a more powerful version for PC's and
would let me know when they had something.

Know PDA's like the great LX are tough to read if your eye power has
deteriorated with age. Off topic I know, but please don't tell me the
obvious thing is to use spectacles. I'm resisting! Read one theory that
spectacles causes the eyes to deteriorate further as they relax to
accomodate the "crutch" provided by the lens. I've come across a method
called the Bates method which teaches eye exercises to boost reading
power. I have a video on it but not the book. Will try it so we'll see!

Hi There!

I have a question about databases. I have and ASCII file with 17,000
records- 2 fields in each record. The size of this ASCII file is 385Kb.

So first I imported the ASCII file to the Alpha4 database program and
it worked fine, but the file size is now 1.2MB!

I thought that this was little bit to big when the original ASCII file
is only 385Kb. So I imported the data to DBase IV- but now the size of
the database is 11.4MB!!!!

Can any databse expert explain why it's so difficult to create a
database from a simple ASCII file which get a "normal" file size?

Maybe you have a good database program to recommend and if you feel for
sending a copy, please feel free to do so.

Thanks and Regards,

Jorgen

This may be too simpleminded an answer to be of use to you, so I'll
make it short.

`Database Languages' often make a conscious decision to trade off
storage space for access time and flexibility. If you have a simple
data file with only simple relations between data elements, then it
is hard to be *more efficient* than simple ASCII.

Whether you need it or not, the `database' form of your data is
probably capable of handling very complex structures with reasonable
efficiency. You are paying for this overhead and unless your use of
the data demands it, it may not be worth the price.

What are you trying to do that can't be done with your simple ASCII
structure?

Something does not sound right.  I tried the same test using dBase IV Ver
1.1 and came up with these results:

The database file contained 2 10 char fields with every byte filled which
made each record 20 bytes:

ASCII  = 459,001 bytes
dBaseIV = 357,098 bytes

The ASCII file is bigger due to the fact that each record has an extra 7
bytes from the quotes and comma used by comma delimiting and the CR/LF on
each line.

Ex: "0000000001","0000000001"crlf

I would be interested to know why your resulting file was 11.4MB.

I wish it were that easy, but I've found that the current or voltage
drop (or delay) when going through an ammeter causes the palmtop to go
into "backup mode" when a high current device such as a pcmcia modem or
5 volt flash card is accessed. I've been able to measure current on the
palmtop itself under most conditions. Maybe someone out there has found
an ammeter that works a little better for this, or has found a better
solution?

dBase uses *.dbf files which has fixed length records with fixed
length fields long enough for the max data (and blank padding).
Memo fields can be variable length.
Each of your records is about 647 characters. So your conversion
utility probably found that the sum of the longest instance.
of the A field plus the longest B field is 647. But your average
ascii record is 10 bytes. So you have almost 11 meg of spaces.
*.dbf files are excellent candidates for Diet or other compression
methods.
But it sounds like some error in the conversion process.
What is your file structure field sizes?  Dbview (on super)  will
show the structure  - F2.

The databases will use fixed sized fields. This will enlarge the file
quite a lot as each record can have plenty of wasted space. On top of
this you get a number of indices. 1.2Mb does not sound unusual if some
of the records have wide fields.

The Alpha -> dBase conversion size: My best guess is that the Alpha
database has generated some complex indices so dBase have to make
unusually many indices on some of the wide-field fields to be able to
perform the same functionality.

Try ASCII to dBase instead with the IMPORT command or simply delete the
dBase indices (see below.)

What to do?

1) Check the record layout. If you have few records with very wide
fields, you can cut the wide fields or rearrance the records. If the
fields are widely varying, you should consider a free form database.

You can use dBase without indices or with only a few indices. The DBF
file is enough. And you can always make one or more indices later.

2) You should consider whether you need a datbase language at all. ASCII
storage is very compact.

- For searches, LIST used on the ASCII file might be fine.
- For labels, I print labels from the ASCII file using one of my C
  programs, AWK or Perl.
- For reports: again C, AWK and Perl. I have for example a program which
  takes an ASCII database and splits the data up in groups of subtotals
  and totals.

Good database? Don't know. I would write it in C.

I often use my 200LX, my shell account and ircII for chatting with others on
IRC. The problem I have is that apparently people are grabbing my email
address and sending me even more spam email. Do any of the unix or linux
experts on the list know how to setup ircII so that when an IRC server uses
IDENTD that some other email address may be suPlied instead of my real one?

Jeff,

Do you have the source code ?  If you do, then I can try modifying it
for you.  If not, try and convince the author to distribute the source
code with the freeware program.

This is yet another reason for HP200LX developers who are not selling
their programs to use the Open Source paradigm as I do (for more info
see www.opensource.org or my HP200LX Source Code Home Page).

It doesn't even have to be that complex.  Set an environment variable
called "IRCNAME"  in your shell account.  Depending upon what shell you
use, this is done in different ways.  a setenv statement usually works.

Hello,

Once again I have yielded to temptation to venture a contribution that
is not altogether directly relevant to the accepted topics for this
List...and yet...

While discussing the intriguing issue of date calculations with a
desktop guru at work it in the light of past messages to this List (eg
the mystery of Donald), my workmate posed an interesting question.  I
have modified it slightly to see how you would tackle the conundrum.

My workmate had been challenged on an entry in his official
time-sheet, made towards the end of last year.  Such problems are not
uncommon in our laboratory here in South Australia and I shall digress
slightly to say that my Palmtop used to a bit of a joke here until a
colleague asked me to perform a date calculation that had eluded her
on her network terminal when she was back-checking her time-sheet.
She was mightily impressed with the ease at which I appeared back at
her desk and gave her the answer and even more impressed when I
demonstrated the method on my trusty 100LX.  Now, back to the story:-

My first workmate had tried to determine the day of the week for the
time-sheet date entry that he had been asked to check.  He had simply
been given a note saying: "Please check 11/12/97"; so he had used his
computer to key in the period in question and then he ran a particular
calendar program and hence got the day of the week.  He was again told
that his answer was incorrect.  On checking things on the computer
once more, he worked out a different day of the week this time for
that questioned day in 1997, and this agreed with the official answer.

The strange thing is that when he went back over his original
calculation to work out his mistake, he could find nothing wrong with
the computer program, and when he showed it to me, I was forced to
agree that the program was fine.  However, when in desperation he
eventually found and looked up a printed 1997 calendar for that date
to settle the conundrum, lo and behold it was the same as the official
answer!

Now, how do you explain that?

Take your time; and while you are at it, what was the day of the week
that my friend first came up with?  That might be a real challenge for
some of you, but my other friend Donald would have put his finger on
it.

I've noticed that if you press the hotkey of a command while the cursor is
over another command, the hotkey is executed with the cursor's setup,
specifically I noticed the Pause Upon Return on commands I had not selected
that option for.

Also, is there a better way to install new programs you want at the top of the
list than adding 'em, then Ordering them to the left one time until it's in
the place desired?  It swaps with the other application if you just put it
where you want it.

SMMX and SysMgr do similar things, but you hit return when finished moving,
rather than move one time.

HDM is a great menu and use it daily!  Cheers to the person who recently
updated it, just wanted to voice some thoughts..  :)

Kinds funny, Larry Zimmerman mentioned that he discovered that you could play
custom songs in the Appt book a few days ago.  Nothing new to me, but sparked
an idea in my head.

I've written the GUI shell for another project, LX Song Editor.  To be honest,
I don't know much at all about the format, so I'll be doing some referring to
the manual, but it won't be a big problem.

I plan to be able to quickly and easily add notes, normal high or flat, set
the volume and tempo at any time, undo your last edit (maybe two edits), edit
the song manually, play notes as they are entered, load/save songs, play the
songs, and more..  :)

I've noticed in the past my doublespeed machine played songs too fast in LXB..
This is compensated for in SysMgr but apparently they are 2x as fast in
LXB..  :(  I'll find some way to cope with this, not sure of the best way
yet.,

It'll be another freebie, of course..  :)

Give me some feedback, ideas for features/looks/input methods, anything that
pops in your head!  The more feedback I get the more I tend to work on stuff.
:)

Thanks for the spark, Larry..  :)

Cheers!

BTW, those of you who have tried LXPGP, version 1.0 will be out soon..  I'll
announce it here.  I would love to hear some feedback on LXPGP as well!

Hi there!

First of all I would like to thank you all for the replies I received-
THANKS! I now fully understand why my ASCII to database convertion
becomes so big. Maybe I will keep the ASCII file as it it=3D=3D>
'English Word,Bahasa Indonesia' and open it with PalEdit when I want to
search for a word.

I have earlier seen messages about different database program running
on the 200LX. Something was said about a database program from the WP
people- where can I find a copy?

I agree with your comments.  But the original question was intended
(as I read it) to ask how one could read e-mail that others send you
that is already formatted in HTML.  Obviously, to me at least, HTML
isn't ideal for sending e-mail - I much prefer text.

If nothing else, you can buy an HP200LX repair kit from HP.  It is $15.
and includes a couple of battery covers, couple of IR covers, couple of
backup battery trays, four hinge end caps, a couple of sets of screws --
and eight feet.  I read about it in an old issue of the PTP.

     I haven't followed this thread, but FWIW: I use POST/LX & HV to
read the NYTimes front page which is delivered to me daily in HTML
format. HV is set up as a POST/LX external. I open the message in
POST/LX, then start HV from the externals menu. The message you were
reading in POST becomes the default message in HV.

1)
I have a 6mb/2x LX and use ABC/LX. I tried a variety of batteries, among
them were the 1200mAh Radio Shacks which for me, topped off at 2.81v.

I also used Panasonic NiCads (1100mAh) and those topped off at 3.06v.

2)
On the average, I get about five hours according to ABC/LX from my T2T
1300mAh batteries, tho I've gotten as much as seven. I also use a 40mb
Simple Tech flash card. Times vary significantly depending on the kinds
of usage.

Hi there!

I have just connected my 200LX to my ZIP drive using the Trans PC card.
Works fine, except it's so slow- took about 2 min 30 seconds to transfer =
a
1.3MB file from the palmtop to the ZIP drive (using Norton Commander)!!

I heard so much about the fast file transfer, but this speed I experience
is much the same as a normal serial connection. Anyone that knows what's
wrong or if this is the speed I can expect.

Thanks and Regards,

Jorgen

I haven't actually measured the performance of my Trans/Zip combination,
but now that you bring it up I will.  I don't have Norton Commander so
I'll just be using DOS copy and such.

I thought those of us who use both the HP200LX and the Pilot would enjoy
this.  I know there are others out there besides myself.

This definetley one way to remove all the cables and limitations of
IR...just stick them both in one case.

Would this be considered a toy or a tool???

If you want to search a text file, showing the line that
contains your word, there are many DOS command line
search programs that will search for your word.
I wrote Maxfnd33.zip which scans about 60K per second
on the LX, allows fuzzy spelling, multiple words at once,
and proximity (or scope) other than a line. The zip includes
a turtorial.
Fgrep has fewer options and may be faster.

Below are some of the grep type programs that are on Simtel:

fgrep183.zip  28K  96/04/04  Chris Dunford's fast text search w/wildcards
ggrep.zip     14K  87/08/25  Find regexp patterns in files
kws144.zip    29K  94/09/02  Keyword search program (grep replacement)
maxfnd33.zip  33K  96/04/04  Search files for multiple strings,many options

ngrep.zip     10K  87/11/08  Improved GREP, takes wildcards
pgrep.zip     12K  86/10/07  fgrep/egrep variation; many options
tr-v112.zip   22K  98/05/25  TRep: Grep utility, find strings in files
xgrep103.zip  13K  96/03/02  Fast Unix-compatible grep (in 80x86 asm)
zgrep30.zip   19K  93/01/07  Search/extract ZIP files w/regular expressions

A couple of weeks ago I wrote to this list asking if anyone had any
experience with HP replacing Hinge cracked palmtops under warranty. The good
news is that they agreed immediately to replace my hinge cracked 4Mb unit at
no cost. The bad news was that it took them 2 weeks to get a replacement
here in Israel. I assume that they had to fly one in from somewhere.

The moral is - take care of your palmtops - they are getting scarce.

Don't know why it would be so slow.  Try the built-in file transfer
software in ROM on the card as a benchmark.

depends on your ammeter.
All meters work on the principle of inserting a small resistor in series
with the circuit under test. This resistor causes a voltage drop. (Yes! I
know there are exceptions, but PRACTICAL ammeters for these current ranges
do use resistors!!!)
Since the LX has a circuit that switches to backup power when the battery
voltage drops too low, the trick is to select a sensitive ammeter that
employs a VERY SMALL resistor.
This means using an expensive unit.
That's really all there is to it!
Cheers,
Paul

PS: I hook up an oscilloscope in series with a 0.1 ohm resistor to track
current spikes & such. Great fun to watch.

Hi Walter,

<<I've noticed that if you press the hotkey of a command while the
cursor is
over another command, the hotkey is executed with the cursor's setup,
specifically I noticed the Pause Upon Return on commands I had not
selected
that option for.>>

I couldn't replicate that.

<<Also, is there a better way to install new programs you want at the

It works the same way as App Manager.  I never liked it either. What I
do, is use the Menu Applications Sort by name command.  For those icons
that I don't really want alphabetically, I rename it so it sorts where I
want it, and then I rename it back.

<<HDM is a great menu and use it daily!  Cheers to the person who

Harry Quonsets, the program's author is great. Unfortunately, he seems
to have stopped using his 200LX.  However, he willingly made the changes
in HDM 2.4 for me which I needed in the creation of Super Software
Carousel.

If people find bugs or enhancement requests, I can collect them and
forward them on to Harry, and see if he will do more.

What's this 40MB clik drive got that

I ain't sold on the ZIP, nor do I
like it. I tried out my neighbor's
on the parallel port and I think it
sucks. Just that a lot of people brought
it and are stuck with it.

A better drive is the LS120 IMATION.
Only 120MB but it reads yor old 1.44s.
and is fasterr than the zip 100MB.

An even better choice is the new SONY HD
which I think its a GB and is backwards
compat also. Yu never know when yu may
need to reed 1.44 in a hurry.

One could make similar statements about

I have an 80MB Simple Tech flash card.

I was getting too short battery life also, until I started leaving my
Simple Tech card OUT. I have yet to perform definitive testing, but my
suspicion is that it does not drop down to its 0.6ma "sleep" current when
it is supposed to.

I just bought a 40 meg Simple Tech flash card from Marcan (a very
good deal) and had some questions. It is formatted in 4096k
allocation units with a total of 9814 units. Is there any reason I
can't use fdisk100 and reformat the card to 1024k units? The
reason I ask is I just transfered 6 meg of data on it and am
already loosing 100k worth of disk space. Also does anybody know
the current usage i.e. read/write/sleep of the card? Thanks.

Should be much more. I'm getting out 11 hours at least.

The problem with this charging ceremony is that for some reason, people
keep thinking that battery voltage is an idication how full the batteries
are. IT IS NOT!!! I haven't seen a proper charging program for the LX yet,
and I wonder why. Maybe programmers don't have to much understanding of
electronics, and electronics experts don't know to much about programming.

Anyway, what does the battery voltage indicate:

1) The temperature of the battery.
2) The internal resistance of the battery.
3) The brand (chemical layout) of the battery.
4) The age of the battery.
And then, far remote, it is also dependant on the charge.

A few simple experiments shows that this is true.

1) Measure the voltage. Then start charging, and measure again. The voltage
goes up considerably within a few seconds. Does it mean that the battery
suddenly has much more charge? Not at all! So, what does the battery
voltage tell here?

2) Charge the battery for a long time, to make sure it is full. Then stop
charging it, and measure the voltage for a while. The voltage drops
considerably, right? Does it mean that during the few hours the voltage
drops dramatically, that the battery is loosing its charge? Not at all! So,
what does the battery voltage tell here?

3) Buy two brands of batteries of the same capacity, and charge them. Then
measure the voltage of both brands. See a difference? How come? Is the
voltage an indication of the charge inside? Does one brand has much more
charge?

While charging, the battery voltage goes up primarily because of the
following two reasons:

1) The current has to overcome the internal resistance of the battery. Over
this internal resistance there will be a voltage drop.
2) The temperature of the battery goes up. This has an effect on the
internal resistance (see 1), and on the chemistry of the battery.

The battery voltage IS an indication of charge, if you block out the other
variables. This means, keep the batteries at a reference temperature, keep
the current flowing from/to it extremely low and stable (to eliminate the
voltage drop over the internal resistor), etc. This is somehow achievable
while NOT charging the battery, but impossible to achieve while charging.
The internal resistance and temperature have much more effect on the
voltage than the charge state.

How SHOULD the batteries be charged? Well, you should not look at the
absolute voltage, but the relative voltage (more exactly, the first
derivate of the voltage curve). It is known for a long time that the
batteries will show a slight voltage DROP when they reach full charge. This
is the moment to stop: this method is known as the delta-U method.
Immediately after this voltage drop the voltage goes up again, because the
current is now completely converted into heat, which has effects on its
own. The best chargers (like the ICS 1702 chip) periodically (once per
second) stop charging, wait a few milliseconds, measure the voltage, and
then make the decision to continue or stop. As soon as two subsequent
readings show a voltage that is lower than the previous times, it is time
to stop. The absolute voltage of course can be anything, but it doesn't
mean anything. It is the *relative* voltage which is important.

So, if anyone is going to write yet another charger for the LX, please do
it correctly this time. Read some material about batteries (the application
manual of the ICS 1702 chip is a good starter) or ask someone who knows
about it how it should be done.

Maybe I will write such a program some day myself, if time permits. I have
been building chargers myself, and my batteries never wear out. I even
brought "defective" batteries from other people back to live with the
charger. It is quite a frustration to only have a charger mechanism for the
LX which goes against all rules of charging NiCD and NiMH cells.

I have read that with a c/10 charge like the LX uses you don't get
a decent delta U drop. Also the a/d in the LX has a minimum of 27
mV. The delta U for a NiMH is about 10 mV. How would you be able
to measure it accurately?

1 either use cic100 located on the d drive or lxcic from
palmtop.net super.

2. Not really sure I would insert it once you have the driver
installed, go into datacomm and type at&v. That should show the
default string and you can then decide what you need.

The native CIC driver has worked well for me.  The line
"d:\bin\cic100 /gen 1" should be in your autoexec file.

    OK....will give that a go, will download the LXCIC from

    {COMMO}, have had this working from the LX with my
    desktop external modem (no-name 56kflex).

    ACEFAX, haven't had this working yet (kindly supplied
    by AL Kind.....bless him 8-) ) was waiting for the PCMIA
    modem to arrive.

    Mail, haven't decided yet, but may try Go'in Postal.

    No rush.....go'in to attack this little project nice and
    slowly.

    Now if I can just connect up this keyboard, trackball
    and the 17" monitor to the HPLX then I can throw this
    PII-266 box and NT away <grin>

Subject:      Zip vs Sparq - and file transfer
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hey everyone - seemingly unrelated topics, but I6ll work them together over the
course of this message.

I can't make an honest evaluation of Zip vs Sparq, as I only have used a Zip
drive. However, in the best spirit of the list, that won't keep me from having
an opinion!! I use the zip drive as a backup for the data files on my desktop
home computer (which has essentially become the wife's picture/email kid's game
computer), my Laptop (which is my home programming / work backup / Palmtop
backup computer) and my Palmtop. my sequence for backing up the palmtop goes
something like this:
1. Backup c: to a: dirve (48 Mb flash disk -  thank you Shore Systems)
2. Backup a: flashdisk onto Laptop harddrive (Used Laptop courtesy Ebay.com)
3. Backup Laptop hard drive to Zip drive
4. Backup desktop to zip drive.

I have a couple of dedicated Zip disks, our "photo albums" (which gave my wife
some peace of mind when we moved as she was able to carry it with her), Desktop
backup, and palmtop backup.

I can't comment on the "click of death" or failure of a disk as I haven't
experienced either one yet. I can say I got the whole zip drive outfit and
three disks for less than $100, so it has been a very budget sensitive solution
for me.

The file transfer issue is the ability to pop out the flashdisk and pop it into
the Laptop makes for very fast and efficient file transfers at speeds well
above anything a serial connection can touch.

I am currently looking for a PCMCIA CDROM reader to use with the Laptop -
anyone have any suggestions?

I know that with my parallel port Zip drive hooked up to my laptop, I had
to run the Iomega program which sets the Zip drive to a faster transfer
rate.  The default rate is deliberately set slow for maximum
compatibility.  To use a faster transfer rate requires either a
bi-directional parallel port or an enhanced one.  I don't know if your
Trans PC card has either of these features.

For what it's worth, I never thought my Zip drive was much of a speed
demon.  It's mostly useful for me because of compatibility with a Zip
drive on a computer I use in the lab.

I just fired up my laptop, and the name of the Iomega DOS program which
does this is called OPTPPM1.EXE.  It is one of the programs which comes
with the drive.

Hope this helps.

Hmmm, what is the connection between SSC and HDM?>>


My thinking in creating Super Software Carousel was to make a package
that allowed users to take advantage of much of the great freeware and
shareware available for the palmtop EASILY.  There is so much good
stuff, and most people just don't have the time to select, test,
download, configure, and learn lots of new sw.

Using Software Carousel, I created both an applications and a games HDM
DOS session. (Each HDM session looks like AppManager except that it has
a bunch of icons to launch DOS programs.  Using Software Carousel, CTRL
2 switches to applications, CTRL 3 to games). In trying to make the
freeware and shareware as accessible and easy to use as possible, I
realized I needed a few more HDM features. I was able to track down
Harry Konstas, the author, and he was great implementing the changes and
fixing inevitable initial bugs.

Feature 1:  Allow arguments with browse.  So, for example, if you want
to run Garlic to fix your DB or PKUNZIP to unzip, previously you would
have to execute those commands from DOS, typing in your arguments.  Now,
PKUNZIP, for example, when launched from HDM can be set up to browse for
an argument - the file to be unzipped. HDM now has that browsing
capability (Harry integrated his PICK.EXE program into HDM).

Feature 2:  Help.  Harry was able to give me up to 80 characters worth
of tip space.  This was great to get a user started -- especially for
old DOS programs that had PC - like commands that you would never
discover.  For example, Backgammon requires a FN DEL (Insert) command to
make moves. I find it useful myself to remind me of commands or options
of programs that I use, maybe, once every couple of months.

HDM 2.4 is freeware now available on PALMTOP.NET

Software Carousel (version 7) and Super Software Carousel is available
from us, Thaddeus Computing, www.thaddeus.com or orders@thaddeus.com for
a catalog or to order.  (SC is $19.95 to upgrade or $79.95 for new,
SuperSC on CD is $79.95 if already own SC, and $139.95 new).

Dear Panel:

I'm a Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellow at Columbus Children's Hospital
who uses the HP200LX(2MB RAM, 48MB flash card)
on a daily basis.  I use several pediatric programs (Toxicology, PMR drug
reference, Patient advisor) and was very excited when I downloaded a
shareware program called PedBase (General Pediatric Topics~500 and in great
detail).

Upon execution of the pedbase.bat file the following error is noted:

Pedbase 4.0 must run in protected mode.

I would appreciate any input in trying to resolve the above problem.

Thanks in advance

Tushar M. Patel, M.D.

Protected mode requires a 286 or above. The 200LX uses an 8086 compatible
and thus cannot run protected mode programs.

You probably did do it, but had no choice. If the original 2MB was of the
type that had 1MB on the motherboard and the other MB on the daughterboard,
you replaced the 1MB daughterboard with the upgraded memory board, thus
leaving the machine with 1MB of original memory. There is no other choice
about that.

Well... Gee how to handle this one? :)

1. Post/LX can actually take an HTML email and give it to HV to display, Menu
External etc... HV is there to receive the email file, and paint it on the
screen.

2. In your "enumeration of nuisances" (like the Passover Plagues? <g>) you
also forgot: animated GIFs, riffs of MPEG music, frames, coffe beans (I mean
Java), fading colorations, movies, and VRML. Really, how could you be so
remiss? :)

The DEL button will delete the email. It is also easy to educate the unwashed
masses who send email to you that they can send the email as text, which is
what it is mostly! In MSIE there is a setting inpreferences that clearly says,
"text only". In other email systems I suspect it is very similar. Half the
people are deadly in their obliviousness. Most times, I find them receptive to
any suggestion of improvement in their communication. Of course, there is
always a parasite out there who gets indignant. You can push the DEL button on
him.

Thanks for the amusing post.

A long time ago, when the memory and speed upgrades came out. HP made a mild
statement that they do not support the speed upgrade because it voids the
warranty and because the components of the machine were designed for the
slower speed, thus a faster operation can cause increased load and increased
failures.

Their statement was very er... "wishy washy", and basically they were saying
we do not support it, we do not want you to do it. They made no statement
about memory upgrades.

There was some information that came out from them stating that they
experienced higher failure incidents in the first peiod after the speed
upgrade came out in Japan. At the time (about 3 years ago), it was argued that
this increase may have been caused by the lack of experience in making the
change, causing board failures etc.

What I found strange is that they tracked it, even though officially they did
not condone such modifications.

I do not know if anyone has kept track since. Anecdotally, it seems that the
upgraded machines are holding out just as well as the non-upgraded machines,
but as this is anecdotal information (what I know from my own machines and
from friends and neighbours telling me, nothing statistical) I can't really
state it any more authoritatively.

It is possible, too that upgraded macines have more failures, but one could
argue that this is because they are used more often, being more useful! :) ...

Al,

Given that you can only run Windows in real mode on the 200LX, I don't see
how that would help.

Your mortal enemy,

Is there a utility to convert URL addresses from the Netscape bookmark file
(bookmark.htm) to a HP200LX database (or at least some sort of text file)?  If
not, does anyone have the format of the htm file so that I could decode it?
Thanks.

I)
There is a DOS Partition Manager including formatting, sources, good
explanations and all you need as freeware from

 Mikhail Ranish
 ranish@intercom.com
 http://www.intercom.com/~ranish  or
 http://www.ml.brooklyn.cuny.edu/~mranish

Till now I didn't try the SW on my 200LX, because:

II)
The DOS format prgr which comes with W95 has an undocumented switch:

 FORMAT drive: /z:n          n=1,2,4,8,..
 where n is the number of sectors (512Byte) in a cluster.

(I got this from the German PC magazine 'PC-Welt' 10/97
 www.pcwelt.de or CIS: GO PCWELT)

BTW: I've bought the same PC-Card and use 1KByte clusters.

Enjoy

Can the 200LX combine the output of something like PLAYWAV and the
output of an ALARM.SND file?  Asked another way, how is the speaker
driven and what access to it does one have in the way of outputting
sound data?

Forgive the vagueness of these questions, I'm not a programmer and as
such lack the technical "lingo" to make questions sound like I all ready
might know the answer.

I was able to get the Microsoft IRDA driver working except for the following
problem. COM1 seems to be the physical port that the Microsoft driver
determines the IRDA port is connected to, this conflicts with the mouse I
have connected on COM1 so I have to disconnect the mouse, reboot and use the
Accupoint device for pointing.. The installation then lets you select a
virtual port for the IRDA which I set to COM4.

The IRDA software is then started by clicking on the IRDA icon in control
panel. It seems to be checking for a device but cannot find the LX. Are you
using the IRDA drivers from the SUPER site on the LX? I don't know whether
you need to use them or not.

Has anyone else had any luck in connecting a 100LX to a Toshiba laptop by
IRDA?

I had no success, unfortunately. Honestly, I also did not have much time
to do a lot of experiments.

The problem is that I need to map the IRDA port on the Toshiba on one of
the COMx: ports, so that I can use the HP Connectivity pack to do the
file transfers.

I tried to use Microsoft's IRDA drivers, which I downloaded from their
site, but I could not map the IRDA onto a COM port.

I've also searched the Toshiba web site and the documentation that comes
with the laptop, and I also didn't find any way to do the mapping.

I've just resigned to using the serial cable - it clumsy, but it works.

If you have any hints, I would be grateful.

Paulo

Subject:      TPN Infiltration

In my experience with infiltrations, often of serious nature and with
contents of necrosis/slough-causing potential (Calcium, nafcillin, etc.) my
reasoning has always been: "If there is an unwanted and unwelcome volume of
fluid in the interstitial tissues of  the hand/foot/etc., why should I add
some more volume, even if it is supposed to be of some good stuff ?"
Therefore, what I do is IMMEDIATELY (after antiseptic procedures and using
aseptic technique) make several punctures on the infiltrated area with a 25
or 26 gauge needle, and express out the fluid by gentle, but firm pressure
with a small gauze sponge, preferably in a centrifugal direction.  After
eliminating the guilty fluid, I apply liberal doses of
desoxiribonuclease/fibrinolysin ointment (ELASE, formerly from Parke-Davis,
currently Fujisawa), and cover with a sterile gauze fir the next 24-48
hours, changing the dressing tid to qid with again, liberal application of
the Elase. By 72 hours, you can not see the minipunctures, the skin is nice
and pink, and I have had no sloughs or necrosis in 13 years.
The rationale of injecting wyadase into the infiltrated area so that the
irritating infiltrated liquid disperses over a wider area of tissue, escapes
me.  It seems to methat it would be similar to having your foot in a fire,
and instead of moving the foot away from the fire, or the fire away from the
foot, you spread the coals around so that the heat covers a bigger area.

I think this is really going the "extra mile"!

Will HP ever give the hpDOSlx this much attention again?  Only once
WinCE dies, economic rationalism is disproven, and hell freezes over.

The NetScape Bookmark file is a standard HTML file so it is

 I regularly use PERL to process it into forms that are useful to me

I just did a bunch of work on this because I have my own
web/mail/ftp/yadayada server now, and I needed to convert my pine
address files into something I can use in Netscape.

If you open up your Netscape address book and choose File-> Save As, it
will save it in "ldif" format.  This is a text file you should be able
to fold, spindle, and mutilate to your heart's content.  If you need
more help I can write a perl or awk program to get the fields you want
into something GDBIO can take.  I forgot- does it use CDF with quotes or
tab-delimited?

Good luck.

Er, just after mentioning the demise of WinCE as favourable but unlikely,
I received this. The beginning of the end?


INTEL, NETSCAPE EYE RED HAT SOFTWARE
Intel Corp. and Netscape Communications have been named as "potential
backers" for Red Hat Software, a company that distributes a commercial
version of the Linux operating system.  No one involved in the deal is
talking about it at this point, but industry observers say the move would
give Linux a major boost toward becoming a mainstream alternative to
Microsoft operating systems.  Netscape recently agreed to provide a Linux
version of its server software.  Intel, in the meantime, wants to keep its
options open by investing in operating environments other than its mainstay
Wintel alliance.  "Intel and Microsoft, regardless of what both companies
say, they don't have the closest relationship," says a research director at
Giga Information Group.  "But I think this has more to do with Intel's
generic investment policy, which has them investing irrespective of whether
these companies are competing with Microsoft or not.  This investment would
be consistent with past investments in that it enables a market for Intel
and provides a potential for growth that wouldn't exist otherwise."
(Computer Reseller News 29 Sep 98)


I've heard that linux is beginning to compete against MicroSoft in some
commercial contexts. One example is my Computer Science department (at Monash
University), which has just invested in "a whole bunch" of PC's, all running
Red Hat linux.

And how's that ELKs going (linux for XTs like our hpDOSlx's)?

I guess the question is whether the agent is liquid in itself, or
the specific fluid that causes the problem.

This reminds me of the old, old idea that you shouldn't drink water
with your food, because it dilutes the enzymes which begin the
digestive process.  But then it turned out that the effectiveness of
enzymes is independent of thier concentration - it is the absolute amount
that counts.  My reference? "The Tao is Silent", by Raymond Smullyan - not
a medical text!

Aaron,

a package of goodies with replacement rubber feet, screws to hold the case together, IR cover, battery cover
is available directly from HP for about $20.00.  I 'll try to rustle up the order for the part number etc.
They give about 3-5 day service.

It is possible for a program to be run automatically at a particular time.

That program could be PLAYWAV - or LXMIDI, if you like your music polyphonic.
Or that text to speech program. Ie the alarm could go off, and the hpDOSlx
literally *tells* you what you have to do. That would be cute.

All you music guys might consider LXMIDI, which plays polyphonic music
through the hpDOSlx's internal speaker. Yes. Polyphonic. Through the
speaker.

There are hundreds of MIDI sites with midifiles all over the web.

Alternatively, there is abc - an ASCII music notation which is more
sophisticated than, but kinda similar to, HP alarm language.  The
program ABC2MIDI * converts (you guessed it) from abc to midi.  So
you can compose polyphonic tunes with ease equal to that of HP alarm
language - and play it back polyphonically, with instruments that have
attack and decay etc.

I use lxcic, cause I can unload it after the download session (i.e. it
doesn't need to always take up lower RAM space, like cic100 does).

If you want an Australian solution, try LXTCP and PNR :-)

LXTCP and PNR are free (compared to the other two excellent
alternatives: Goin' Postal - shareware, and POST/LX - commercial).

LXTCP and PNR also include the source code, and work with PCMCIA
ethernet connections (nothing like backing up your entire 32MB drive
with lxftp via an ethernet connection).  PNR version 3.0 and LXFTP
version 1.0 are in beta testing now.

See my web site for details of the released tools, and send me email
if you want to be involved in the beta testing.

It's downloadable from AirPower BBS as TRJ2.exe and PF.dat (the pellet
data file), from the AIRGUN files download directory.  As soon as I can
I'll put them together in one zipped archive.

Message-ID: <19980930001505834.AAA189@ppp4024.wwd.net>

I just acquired a Boca 14.4 PC card modem.
When I turn the 200lx on with the modem installed I get a clicking sound constantly from the modem. When I start Goin Postal I hear all types of noise, mostly static sound.

The modem dials numbers OK and seems to be behaving well otherwise. It is like the modem speaker is on all of the time.

Anyone have any ideas?

I find just the opposite. For social reasons, I belong to another list
where members are fairly unsophisticated in terms of communication,
email or otherwise. It is amusing to watch them flame some hapless
soul requesting that they not quote entire digests in "I agree!"-type
messages.

It is great! However, I would like to have a possibility to indicate which
default directory it should use. For a lot of applications I have default
directories (databases, documents, etc.) and it would be nice if HDM came
up with the correct directory, rather than to have to remember where the
target files are located.

Hello
        I found a site that describes how to run Minix on the palmtop.  For those

I have a TI 560 CDT laptop and an HP 200 LX. I've been doing the same
thing as you did, but although it is installed as COM2, if also fails to
detect my HP.
In case you or anyone else come up with a solution I would be most

The CPACK files are not on SUPER and should not be as they are
copyrighted. There is the CPACK Floppy software, but you have to have
CPACK first for that to work.

If anyone is interested, I have the software for the 100LX CPACK that I
will give away. I bought the full CPACK for the cable and the adapters and
don't need the disks. Please email me off-list.

He he he.

Kinda like Bill Gates putting on his advertisments a Steve Jobs quote:

help us, Windows."

I'm sure Steve Jobs wouldn't hold it against Gates, so why not just go for
it, Avi?

Hello Greg,
No, you usually (meaning I haven't tried all combinations) don't need an
IRDA driver to transfer files between an LX and a laptop.
Just start a comms prog on both, making sure both are set up to ise IR. If
the MS IRDA driver is loaded on one of the machines, the link will not
work. In fact the windows IR software also interfers with the plug 'n pray
software in my laptop so that I can't use an external mouse on com 1.
Getting rid of the MS irda s/w altogether solved my problem.
You should now see what you type on one machine on the other.

The message contains two enter keys. This is done by the program. Many news
servers implement different methodologies to signal various things in the
process, and we have a real hard time tracking them all...

We saw this come through our support line too and I am not sure what his
problem is. He may send the list to another location, I am not sure.

I can only spend time supporting things in ONE location, so cross posting in
17 different places does not help and only wastes my time. I am not suggesting
to muzzle anyone, but I am suggesting that crossposting won't get any faster
response, if anything it slows us down.

We discussed it and I asked you if you'd be willing to work with us. I have
not heard since. Perhaps the delta-U method you propose is not anything we
can utilise on the palmtop. There were some pretty good brains involved in
making ABC/LX, nor just some moron programmer <g>...

Yes, correct.

All good and well, IF you can get this information reliably from the palmtop
circuitry.

I find your characterization of "correct" or incorrect to be a bit of a
stretch. Your method has some fatal flaws as well, and I am sure there is
plenty of physics and chemistry to point out these flaws. That would esily
debunk your method as the "correct" way to do things. Never mind the reality
and possiblilities that EXIST in the palmtop, regardless of how wonderful the
theory is.

Once again, this time publicly: I invite you to work with us on that. If
ABC/LX version 2 can be made better - I welcome this with open arms.

My dream come true...... UNIX on the palmtop, if this guy can get this
working this would be awesome. I'll be able to have DOS, Window$ and UNIX

Subject:      On Netscape&Intel backing Radhat and ELKS Linux.

        Hello all,

    Someone was writing about a newspaper article on Intel and
    Netscape interested in Redhat Linux and he also asked about
    the status of ELKS (aka. Linux-8086). Well what I know:

    -I'd say ELKS is dead. It's still in alpha for about a year now.
     Advance in PC industry was huge, so 486s can be had for free.
     386sx and above will run regular Linux. The only interested
     parties in ELKS would be: PC-104 (industrial machines often
     running on 80186 CPU), collector value old PCs (like a true
     blue 5150, XT or AT; some earliest Compaq luggagables) and
     the DOS palmtops (Sharp 3100, HPLX, Poqet). I don't think any
     of the above parties will have enough free resources and inte-
     rest to complete ELKS.

    -A 8086/186 based Un*x clone only has hacker and scholar use.

     It is impossible to have X-window AND Un*x in real mode at any
     SPEED. There are X-terminal prgs for XT/CGA that work and there
     is Minix v2.1 true Posix Unix for the 8086 (text mode/cmd line)
     It indeed works and useful. But both is asking for too much.

    -I recommend that HPLXers form a task force to complete the Minix
     port to HPLX. It's already been done, runs but crashes too often.
     (probably small non-PC compatibilities in 200LX). This work will
     open a whole new world for HPLX. With the LILO method used in the
     above port; it should be possible to run any 8086/PC arhitecture
     OS with some porting effort. That's: DOSes, CP/M-86, older QNX,
     Minix ans PSION3 OS. The S3a/c is 8086 based and I wonder if the
     OS source had been grabbed, how hard it would be to transfer it
     to 8086/ISA arhitecture? Certainly a big victory if accomplished.
     (Hundred thousands of Psioneers deserting to HP200LX, worldwide
     shortage of DOS palmtops, HP making LX in three shifts.)

     (Btw, PSion has just released the slightly improved S3MX. Maybe,
     HP should care the same way for every product group, not only
     the newest toys.)

    -For those who ought to have full Linux, there's no hope in WinCE.
     Those devices will not run other true OS, only emulators. Real
     choices are: Palmpilot III (but that won't have kbd and enough
     RAM to do serious jobs) or the Psion S5. Linux Psion S5 port is
     in quite advanced shape. S5 CPU power is app. equal to 486sx/33.

     The problem with S5 is that it wont run DOS (so you need to
     have your 200LX anyhow) and it uses CF cards. It also has no
     numeric keypad. Or there is a revamped S5, called GeoFox One. It
     has PCMCIA, 16MB RAM and the numerics. But it's hard to get, not
     cheap and BIG size. It also has chiclet keys, a huge con.

    -I think Libretto family and IBM PC110 are not options for palm
     Un*x, due battery life and hard drive fear. Cannot comment on
     that xperimental wearable by IBM Japan.

     If you wish to have real Un*x in your pocket w/ source code and
     useful DOS stuff in your pocket in one machine, hold on to your
     HPLX and volunteer for Minix. That's the only way to go by now.

      <news://comp.sys.wearables> - New group, still low traffic
      <www.linux.org> - Has link to platforms -> Psion and Palmpilot.

I know this has been brought up before, but until now I ndidn't have the

I thought I had sent this to dasoft, but I guess not!  Anyway, this problem
has disappeared.  Maybe it was the registration process that fixed it, I
don't know, but I now have a fully-functioning WWW/LX and Post/LX and I am
happy as a pig in sh*t!!!

Oh, one thing started happening today that I'm puzzled about.  I had
received a messsage "unable to pack file - check space!" and at the time I
had about 300K available on C:.  I went and freed up a total of 1.1 MB,
went back to Post/LX and I'm still getting this message.

Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Harris

Oops I spoke too soon. Probably not unless the books are in ASCII.
The formatting might not work- which would be too bad. If we can't
we should all contact Barnes and Noble- I'd like to be able to
buy etexts and they'd be loosing out on a lot of customers I
suspect.

The wince machines can run any os, no one has done it yet. They are
not functionally different from the hplx, the microcode that runs on
top of the risc processor yields a platform for any os just the same
as the hornet chip in the hplx yields a 80186 platform. Granted
getting wince out of the way may be more difficult but I doubt that
it is impossible, no more so than getting DOS out of the way on the
hplx.

In the course of my work, I use MEMO application very extensively.
Files are created by another application and I print them via Memo. I
noticed that newly created files do not show up in the Open file list
(*.doc).

However, if I limit the number of documents to display via a wildcard
mask (e.g. t*.doc), the files are there. There are currently 234 files
in that directory, but I became aware of the problem at about 210.

Therefore, the question: is there an absolute number of documents that
can be displayed in Open dialogue?

I looked in the User's Guide. It doesn't say that there is.

I do know there is a limit to how many files Filer can display... but I
don't remember what it is.  ~210 sounds right... I wonder if this affects
the pick boxes too?

It's 256 files in the same directory.

The funny thing is the error box that comes up when you try to view more,
says the *HP100LX* can only view 256 or less.

It says that on my 200lx!!  <G>

I use a ST 160MB FLASH disk with my 200LX.  To date, I have been using
it uncompressed, but want to start using Stacker on it.  I have a copy
of Stacker that was provided with my old ACE DoubleFlash card.  As I
dug up the old manual and read through it, there is a reported limit of
80MB.  Is this a limit of Stacker itself, or just that an 80MB DoubleFlash
was the largest that ACE sold at the time (Sep 94)?

DOS is much easier to "get out of the way" since it doesn't really get IN
the way in the first place. It does not set up to trap interrupts, it does
not set up virtual memory playpens for running apps, it does not trap out
accesses to the hardware - which is exactly what WinCE does when it starts.
Taking control of a WinCE machine away from WinCE would probably be best
accomplished by removing the OS ROM and replacing it with one of your own
:-)

All you have to do then is write it 10 times for each of the different
hardware configurations out there.

Noted them there a year ago,
They were $10/pair then.
nice to see post again tho.

NB: There are (2-AA) chargers (GE, et al)
that are small and slim like the LX adapter
with folding prongs, and most important
and convenient of all they shut off
automatically especially for the MimH.

I disagree about dos not trapping interrupts, it wouldn't actually
run if it didn't, but I will agree it is easier to get around. On my
velo1 getting around CE would almost be as easy. The ce20 upgrade
actually installs itself into memory from a rom card that lives in
the flash ram socket. You should be able, with a little work, to have
any OS, written for the hardware and risc microcode, running from a
flash card. I also wonder about the rewiting it for each platform.
The idea behind a risc processor is that the microcode that runs
directly on the cpu will then present a common interface to the upper
levels. I would think that wince is probably written to the abstract
upper level, not the actual hardware. That only leaves the difference
between mips and hitachi processors, plus a couple of others coming
up.

These showed up in the local RS stores last December.  Bought a pair
then, and used 'em for about 6 months before going back to the RS
hi-capacity NiCads.  I actually got only about 70% of the time I had
with the Nicads. (From the 1200 mAHr rating, I hoped for about 45-50%
more).  Hope you get better results than I had.  8-)
