You are correct. Digital Research did write CP/M-86, which was
adopted by some PC makers, such as DEC. However, I believe the
dominance of MS-DOS was due more to the fact that it was the
"official" version supported by IBM (as PC-DOS) and the IBM PC
was to become the dominant machine in the market. While I
disagree with much that Bill Gates has done, I must admire his
ability to recognize that an alliance with IBM was the key to
success for Microsoft at that time.

The DC23 is a very good PCMCIA to use in the HP200lx. It is VERY kind
to Your batteries.
I am using it with WWW/LX and DataCom with NO PROBLEMS.

I have found in general that modern support chanels are not to be
trusted. I whent to my local store and asked if the new Ericsson was
compatible with plain DOS progs. He said no. And then I tested Him and
asked if the DC23 worked with DOS. He was sure it did not. As a fact I
am using  the DC23 pcmcia modem in my hp with DOS. I told him this and
left.

Hi all,

I have a 200lx that refuses to timeout the display or go into light sleep.
Using a couple of different software programs it shows that these are
enabled but it doesn't happen. I'm not using any software that would
interrupt this.  I have done a hard reboot and also did the little embedded
diagnostics routine to no avail. Does anyone  know how to test if there is
a hardware problem responsible or am I missing something simple?  Any
input/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Hi All, and happy new year!

I've been using the Simple Technology 40mb flash card for some time now
on the LX, and also a 16mb Simple Tech compact flash in my digital camera,
but now find that neither are recognized by my notebook computer (which
sees my HP & Kingston flash cards just fine).

I just wondered if any of you had similar problems reading the Simple
cards in a notebook...the cards didn't come with any software drivers...and
if anyone had a fix. My email to Simple tech support has been unanswered
for a week.

This may seem a bit off-topic, but I know there's a few of you with the same
cards as I. My notebook is the Omnibook 800...but I wondered if the problem
exists with other types as well. Thanks.

I'm using a ST 40MB flash card on my 200LX and desktop (Win98).

As soon as the card is inserted, the standard IDE Disk-Controller is
loaded (needs a free interrupt) and a 'Generic Disk Type 47'-drive is
allocated using the next free drive letter.

You may have to insert the Win-CD for driver installation at first
insertion of the card.

If you hear a beep upon insertion but nothing else happens, then I
guess you need a free interrupt to be able to proceed with the
necessary driver installation.

Win98 is supplying all necessary drivers - I don't remember what's
about Win95 in this respect.

Hope this helps.

It's possible there's something wrong in the persistent memory of the LX.

Try completely purging your LX (even more drastic than a reboot). Backup
your data first, as this wipes the entire unit of data. Then remove both
your main AA and your backup lithium batteries. Press and hold the On
key for a minute to drain the electricity from the system. Then replace the
batteries, I think AA first and then backup (see your manual).

Actually, IBM set the price of the OSes it bundled with the PC,
and the three choices were: PC-DOS, CP/M, and p-System.  I forget
the exact prices, but the orders of 100, 300, and 500, respectively,
sound about right.  Although the pricing difference was the final
causal agent in determining DOS's win over CP/M, the reasons for
the large differential are more related to the infamous flight,
etc.

There has been substantial speculation about whether snubbing IBM
was actually the intention of this flight, btw, and there have been
some well-informed people challenging this as the real reason.  Be
that as it may, for whatever reason IBM was more comfortable doing
business with Gates, and they gave him the nod.  They still wanted
to have CP/M available to quelch the claims of anti-competitiveness
and compatability (the dominant OS of the time for micros was CP/M,
and there was already extant software for it).  Still, had VisiCalc
not been ported to DOS, and subsequently Lotus and WordStar, life
may have been substantially different.

There was a good program on PBS (Nova?) some time ago about this, and
I would think there would be some site on the net that better tells
the story.  My wife recalls the show "The Revenge of the Nerds" (not
the popular movie of the same name ;-) but whether it was a Nova
episode we do not recall.  Anyway, I think our collective speculation
is probably not going to be profitable, but if someone could post a
semi-authoritative reference (preferably on-line), that would
probably be well-received.

You might as well use the one from the broken unit - you might need some
software or cd-rom.  I don't know what might have accompanied the
circuit board for the upgrade.

And as you may know, this list is generally dedicated to the dos HP's.

Hi Liam,

I am using the last version (3.10 I believe) of the GEM desktop.
I picked up a copy of GEM Artline at a used software store.  It
did not include the GEM interface with it and I found that
version 3.10 was the only one that worked with it.

Yesterday I installed GEM Graph on my palmtop.  Found that it
does not seem to import the WK1 files of lotus, only the earlier
WKS files.

Another LX user pointed me to an article in Yahoo' news area. A new fuel cell
technology has been developed using methanol and water for use on cell phones
and may be useful to us....but also the application of their technology to
making a portable charging system.

The scale of their goals is 6 months of standby time and 100 hours of talk
time for a cell phone.

Parts of the article follow...sorry, I don't have the URL, but you can go
to Yahoo's news site and search on "fuel cell" maybe.

Manhattan Scientifics Completes Fuel Cell Powered Phone Call

Robert G. Hockaday has successfully made a cellular telephone call using a
phone powered by an alcohol-fueled pre-prototype micro fuel cell.  The call
was made this month at the company's Los Alamos, N.M. laboratory where the
new Micro-Fuel Cell is under development.  The call demonstrated that a
micro fuel cell can produce enough electricity to power a cellular
telephone.  Last July, Hockaday said he expected to successfully test a
fuel cell powered telephone by year-end.

Hockaday's fuel cell team ran a cellular phone continuously in standby for
24 hours and made periodic phone calls.  Hockaday said, ``We have achieved
the minimum of 100 milliwatts of power output necessary to keep the phone
in standby and simultaneously trickle charge a battery with our
pre-prototype system.  This is a major step in our effort to commercialize
a long-life Micro-Fuel Cell power system for portable electronics.  The
pre-prototype breadboard system consisted of 20 miniature fuel cells on
five sheets of plastic connected in series to deliver four volts to the
cellular phone.  The system was fueled with a 50% methanol water mixture.

The successful demonstration of the pre-prototype marks another significant
milestone in the development of the micro-fuel cell, which was powered by a
small amount of methanol and water commonly used as windshield washer
fluid.  Hockaday said, ``We expect to complete a fully working prototype
before mid 1999.  Our ultimate goal is to maintain a digital cellular
telephone on standby for more than six months and to provide 100 hours of
talk time with a single refueling of several ounces of a methanol/water
mix. For commercial use, the tiny energy source will be engineered to be
smaller and lighter than a conventional rechargeable battery and is
expected to be priced competitively with conventional cellular phone
batteries.

Manhattan Scientifics is also developing and has filed patents to protect
its invention of a portable charging system utilizing its micro fuel cell
technology.  If successfully developed, it could eliminate the need for
wall plug AC electrical charging of batteries.  The company's portable
charger, which it calls Power Holster is being designed to become an
integral part of a cellular telephone system.  It is being designed with
the intention of providing a constant trickle charge to the telephone's
conventional battery, thus creating an always-on powered system.

Marvin Maslow, Manhattan Scientifics CEO said, The company's strategy is to
first complete the working prototype and then identify an appropriate
strategic corporate partner to manufacture and distribute the new energy
devices. A number of Fortune/100 telecommunications, battery, film and
chemical companies have contacted us and visited us.  They are monitoring
our progress and waiting for us to invite them to test our technology,
which we intend to do as soon as we are ready.  We would like to eliminate
the word re- charge from the English language and change it to refuel.
There have been substantial improvements in battery technologies lately.
This is good news for us because it improves the effectiveness of our
portable charger system, designed to keep the newer long-life lithium ion
batteries in cellular telephones and other small electronic devices charged
for extended periods.

Remember that a desktop with a CRT monitor writes white
characters on a black screen, while the LX writes black
characters on a white screen. So the reversal is normal.

I couldn't get it to work under Win98, but perhaps with a FAT16 hard drive
and Win95 it will work.  I can let you know what I did...

It was not a Nova episode but was calle Triumph of the Nerds, with a recent
sequel called Nerds 2.0.1.  Both were produced in Oregon and are very good
stories - lots of history there.

Hi Yves and list...

I am using Jam under win95 version 4.00.950 and the Plus pack.

ie I have the very original Windows package which probably is the pack
around the time the Jam driver was written..  I have written to a couple of
the people mentioned in the Jam docs for driver updates but no reply as yet.

Just in case its something in my configuration here it it if anyone wants to
try to reproduce My Jam usage under Win95.

DEVICE=C:\WG311\SETVER.EXE
DEVICE=C:\Wg311\HIMEM.SYS
device=C:\WG311\emm386.exe noems x=d000-dfff
DOS=HIGH
device=h:\jam\jam.sys
device=h:\jam\jmount.com d: h:\jam\one.jam
device=c:\dos\interlnk.exe /auto
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WG311\COMMAND\DRVSPACE.SYS /MOVE

I am running this on a 486 with 8MB ram

I have my Virtual memory set under win95 (not win95 managing it)

The Jam drive comes up as drive D:
Reason for H: is that I have compressed C: and Jam wont mount on it. H:
Uncompressed host.
One.jam is the name of my Jamfile created previously with Jcreate.

I havent used JMW as I havent figured how to create a PIF..Win95 says it
isnt needed/used any more and I get errors trying to use without a Pif
file..Any ideas on this?

Steve, the game was designed for a PC with a video monitor.
With a CRT, an "on" pixel lighs up on the screen and is white.
 An "off" pixel is dark.

It is the opposite on an LCD screen like on the palmtop.  An
"on" pixel on the palmtop is black while an "off" pixel is not
there so it assumes the background color which is lighter.

You can very simply fix this problem by inverting the colors
of the LCD screen by pressing and holding On and then press
the slash key ("/").

There is a movable partition that separates that 512K of RAM
into the system RAM the processor will use to run programs and
the C: drive RAMdisk that will be used for storing files.

So, it depends on where you put that partition.  And you can
move it when you need to.  You just have to reboot afterwards.

A good rule of thumb that the more System RAM, the more
different applications you can have open at once - but then
you don't have a lot of file storage.

This balance is particularly difficult on the 512K 95LX.

I have a compaq Aero mono 486/25. It lasts 50% longer on battery
than a 486/33 passive color version.

What is the voltage rating of the Simple card? The OB800 will
only work with 5V or 3.3V Flash cards, not with the older 12V
cards.

Mitch:

I may have located a copy.  Can you please re-send your kind explanation
of the program that you e-mailed me last week?  I have accidentally
deleted it!  And I may have located a copy.  Can you provide the exact
name of the software, the manufacturer/author, and the approx date?

For some reason, I was thinking this was a MS product, but I found
something called AutoMap by NEXTBASE LTD, c. 1991.  Am I close or
way off base?

Thanks,

Hi guys-n-gals,

I have just finished a couple of projects with the CIA world fact book
being the first. I took a huge text file and split it into over 240 little
files (one per country) and formatted it to run in HV on the palmtop,
and Mitch (bless his cotton socks!) has posted it to
good old SUPER. The other is in his hands as we speak, but
not yet up on the site, and is a notetaker file with 209 countries
and thousands of cities with their populations (as of 1992).

I have been using this one to add to my HP's World Time cities, and
noticed that some of the ROM cities have the time zone set for the
wrong time! Most of the ones I have found are in Eastern Europe and
are BEHIND zulu instead of in front!

BTW, the worldtime file on my machine is over 300k and growing, has
over 900 entries, many with several pages of info in the notes, and it
runs snappy as when first opened! I have 10-12 subsets defined, and
find that if I run a macro to open each subset in sequence, this speeds
up the day-to-day usage of the file.

Because of the size of the worldtime file, I have it on the A: drive and
I managed this by hex-editing the world.env file in c:\_dat with xtree
gold. Anybody know another way to do this?

Another question for the wonderful members of this illustrious group,
anybody know of a good thesauraus for the LX? I had one called "Thess"
but it went west, and I cannot find it in any backups and cannot remember
whence I came across it...

Wow.  That'll be neat.  I look forward to downloading it.

Are you able to correct them by creating a new entry of the same city
name?

The Collins dictionary program has a Thesauraus, though I cannot vouch
for its "good"ness: I've only used it occssionally, and as an engineer
with lousy language skills, I don't feel qualified to judge it.

Sorry folks, somehow only the text from the message I was
replying to made it into this message. Here is what I had
intended to say.

Any computer with a non-backlit screen will have much longer
battery life than a computer with a backlit screen. (Backlights
take a lot of power.)

A computer with a monochrome backlit screen will have longer
battery life than one with a color backlit screen. (A color LCD
screen transmits much less light than a monochrome LCD screen.)

I believe that there is no substantial difference in battery
life between a non-backlit monochrome screen, as on the 200LX,
and a non-backlit color screen.

My understanding is that this is a 5volt card. It's not all that old.

There just appears to be something about the Simple Tech interface, for both
their flash and CF cards that's somehow slighty "off" compared to other cards.

Then again, I'm not exactly a big fan of Win95...so maybe I just to RTFM some
more on its way of dealing with PC cards.

I have a 32MB 2x.

I believe the Simple Tech cards are 3.3/5 cards, but of course they're 5V
in the palmtop.

The OmniBook 800, and all the other OmniBooks, seem to be *very* picky
about what flash cards they will accept.  I believe the OB800 has a flash
upgrade that's downloadable (not sure of the site or address) which is
supposed to help, though I've heard it's not very effective.

Noname 14.4 - 2 units
Hayes 14.4 - 10 units
Hayes 28.8 - 3 units

Feel free to quote for the units by private email. Thanks.

An extra (which might be interesting to some) is that my company has also obtained :

4 units of used HP620LX
3 NEW units of Phillip Velo 500

Anyone who is interested on these WinCE palmtops, please do feel free to quote for
these too. Please help a poor student to get some extra cash to get a 6 meg upgrade
for his 200LX. :) Thanks!

There should be a driver on your c: drive to access f:
For my 14.4/4Mb EXP card these are in c:\tflxm
The files are:
lxmdrv.sys
lxmfmt.exe

You should have the line:
device=3Dc:\tflxm\lxmdrv.sys
in your config.sys file

Check your config.sys  -  if that's OK, then the driver is probably
either missing or corrupted.  If the 33.6 card is like the 14.4 the
driver is on drive a:  Just copy to c:\tflxm  and reboot.

The copy of Automap I have is a NextBase product distributed by
Broderbund. It is Version 3.0 for Dos (the last Dos version) and comes
on five 3.25 discs. most of the files on disc are dated 6/22/93. The
first act by Microsoft after buying it out was to kill the Dos
version.

Automap enables you to enter a start and finish location and it will
calculate a route for you.

There was an add-on database for Europe (which I have) as well as the
US but the European maps are not as detailed as the US ones. There
were some update files avaiable on the Microsoft site at one time as
well as some additional databases added the Continental divide and the
locations of Best Western Motels/Hotels. I have not checked the site
recently.

There are at least two versions of the menu module for this program
and one version enables more options than the other. I discovered this
at a Compuserve HPHAND meeting a couple of years ago.  There was no
difference in Automap version numbers (IIRC) but there was a
difference in file dates. The relevant file is engdeflt.mnu. The
`lite' version is 1768 bytes while the `full' version is 2038 bytes. As

Hi, Chris.
The max file transfer speed with TF200 is 57600 baud.  The max speed in
CPACK is twice that.

Happy new year to you and your buddy!

Claud those guide/books are pretty heavy about 3 pounds I would say.

so about $12.00 that should cover most of the shipping I would think.

Let me know what you think.

BTW: You're still in So. Cal right?
also hows that 530 coming along? Installed Win95 yet?

My machine will not recognize it. Filer just shows the same

could you please let me know why this is? Is the 5V/3.3V due to the controller or is there possibly a modification of the hardware that could use the 3.3V/5V cards in 3.3V mode. Is it due to the card enabler software?

Thanks. Where can I find it? Is it in the public domain? Couldn't find it

Hi Folks

Since this came up on the list and serendipity is at work with a Taiwanese
sub notebook engineer and I meeting last night in a Pub I have a few
questions that may benefit us all..

Is there some technical specs available for the 200LX for the power
requirements/size/addressing details and any other info that may be needed?
If so Where?

At the very least I may be able to get a source of screens as spare parts. I
am hoping to get a backlit screen designed and produced in the best case
scenario.

Any other list members pursuing a backlight solution?

Russell

Check to see if you have the drivers

or you're not booting from where the drivers are.
its the drivers that put you in F: drive.

You have backed them up, right?

Subject:      LXTCP FTP server and TELNET client beta testers wanted ...
In-Reply-To:  al chin's message of "Sun, 3 Jan 1999 19:03:20 PST"
Mime-Version: 1.0 (generated by tm-edit 7.108)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

Ever wanted to FTP *to* your HP200LX ?

Well, the next version of LXTCP will include an FTP server (yes, I
said *server* not client) and a TELNET client which allows multiple
telnet sessions, the aforementioned FTP server and a PING server all
to be active at the same time.

The FTP server is based on the public domain NCSA telnet source code,
and has been modified to operate with little or no configuration
required when running on the HP200LX.  It currently requires a
config.tel file, but that will be changed to use the same
configuration file as all the other LXTCP utilities.

The goal of this software is to be able to easily mirror the contents
of my 32MB C: drive onto a Unix/Linux box.  Using the "mirror" package
(http://sunsite.org.uk/packages/mirror/) and the HP200LX FTP server, I
can now completely mirror the contents of the C: drive, and only those
files that are new or have changed are transferred.  This works over
both an Ethernet link (via a PCMCIA ethernet card), a dial-up PPP link
(via a PCMCIA modem card) or a direct serial PPP link (via the serial
port).  By using the direct serial PPP link I can backup both the C:
drive and also the contents of the flash card.

Also, using XEmacs, efs, and dired, I can now remotely edit files on
the HP200LX as it they were local on the Linux machine.

I believe this will be the first FTP server implementation
specifically designed for the HP200LX (please let me know if someone
else beat me to it - including commercial packages).

I have included a dump of an interactive session accessing the HP200LX
FTP server from a Linux machine.

If you are interested in beta testing the new version of LXTCP, then
send me an email and I'll put you on the beta testers list.

The Clarkson University TCP utilities on SUPER include an FTP server, and
it runs on the palmtop, but yours is definitely the first to be
specifically designed for the 200LX.

Looking forward to easier backups... especially while my flash card is
down.  :(

There have been other threads on this subject. Most of us cannot
get it to work on NT at all. In fact, after a while, CPACK Filer
seems to refuse to launch at all. (In fact, now I can't get CALC
to work either!) NT just does not support the DOS communication
functions very well. To accomplish the same function, you need
TFWIN200, which does work, but at slower speeds. Other
alternatives include: HyperTerminal <-> 200lxComm, and,
Boot DOS to run CPACK or ZIP.

Are you using lxcic for a pcmcia modem or other purposes?  Instead of
the HP's native cic100?  Someone just reported older versions caused
similar problems with his new pcmcia card.

By ripping out all the TN3270, EGA, colours, ethernet boards, and
other non-HP200LX stuff, I'll be able to reduce the size
significantly.

I should be able to remove the need for a config.tel altogether
(assuming you're using BOOTP on a packet driver), or at least make it
read an existing wattcp.cfg file that you've set up for other LXTCP
tools.

I currently recommend WWW/LX for those who can afford it and Apache
running on Linux :-)

The current criteria for something going into LXTCP is that the source
must be available under an Open Source (www.opensource.org) style
license, and it must be compilable *on* the HP200LX using a compiler
running *on* the HP200LX.

The chance of finding or writing an LXWWW that meets this criteria is
pretty small.  On the LXHTTPD side, the chance of being able to write
a minimal web server on top of the NCSA kernel or the WatTCP kernel is
not too bad, and maybe I'll think about that when my current personal
LXTCP requirements are met.

Over the weekend, I did get Arachne to run - but I was too busy
getting the FTP server working to play around with it.  Anyway, the
source for Arachne is not available.  I once did get a minimal httpd
running on the HP200LX, but it was written in MoonRock, and the source
was not available either.

I'm also mindful of intruding onto the turf of D&A.  They're a great
commercial supporter of the HP200LX, and I don't want to release a
freeware tool that would put them out of business :-) (as if I could!)

But seriously, my current set of tools are meant for people who know
what an RFC is.  I don't want to support someone who can't configure a
WatTCP.cfg file.

Avi (from D&A) & I have discussed this issue before by email, and I
think we have a mutually agreeable relationship: they do the flashy,
user-friendly, easy to set-up, well supported tools - and rightfully
get money for doing all that ... and I do the drab, raw-functionality,
hard to set-up, open-source, officially unsupported tools and release
them to other like-minded people who just happen to be able to use
them as well.

Actually, the Clarkson Uni TCP utilities come from the same heritage
as the NCSA server, and only added features that are useless on the
HP200LX, so I'm effectively working from those anyway.

I'm not only specifically modifying the servers & clients for the HP,
but also modifying the servers so that they will interoperate with
Linux/Unix/WinNT clients (including the latest FTP draft RFCs where
applicable and useful).  I've currently modified the FTP server so
that it will work with a pristine copy of the "mirror" program - I
still need to make it support file modes, so that it can replicate the
fact that a file is read only.  I also made it work with XEmacs/efs
(the best FTP client interface I have ever used).

My eventual goal is to not be able to determine whether you are
connected to a Linux FTP server or a HP200LX FTP server (apart from
the commands specifically designed to tell you about the system type,
and the file name restrictions).  The latest FTP draft RFC
(draft-ietf-ftpext-mlst-05) talks about a virtual file system, which
removes the distinction between DOS and Unix path separaters (/ vs \).

> Looking forward to easier backups... especially while my flash card is
> down.  :(

I told my wife over the weekend that the stuff I was doing was a
personal favour specifically for you - in return for that NECX card
reader (has it arrived yet?).

Yesterday was the first time ever that I could completely back up my
whole HP200LX (32MB RAM, 40MB Flash - 20MB uncompressed + 20MB jammed,
1 MB securedrive - saving the *decrypted* data on my secure home
machine) with one single command from my Linux machine.  And it all
fits on one Zip disk :-) - written using Linux vfat fs, so that I can
read it on Linux, WinNT, DOS, and of course the HP200LX (if I had a
transdigital card).

No!  Thanks for reminding me.  I'm copying the list on this one to see if
anybody knows what's going on with Necx.  I ordered five of those PCMCIA
ISA card readers in early November, and have heard absolutely ZERO from
them since.  They said they had "less than fifty" left when I placed my
order, so perhaps they ran out of stock, but I haven't gotten so much as
an e-mail from them.  Is this typical for them?  I've never dealt with
Necx before...

I just sent them ANOTHER mail asking about the status... we'll see what
happens.

The cards are designed to use either 3.3V or 5V.  The machine you insert
it into is the one that determines the voltage, I believe.  The 200LX only
does 5V or 12V through the PCMCIA socket... so all the newer flash cards
use 5V mode.  Sadly, there's no way to flip things into 3.3V mode, which
would be handy.

So far, just picky for Simple Tech cards (40mb flash and 16mb CF)...my
Kingston flash, HP flash and Panasonic CF all work fine.

I guess these drivers are something more I can try. Fortunately they're

Chris,

Sorry that it took me so long to answer this. I have been away from the
list for a few days.

Anyway - this email is sent using the following stuff:

HW: HP200LX (8M RAM, double speed), Ericsson DC23 v4 Mobile Phone
Modem, Ericsson GH688 GSM Phone

SW: DOS 5.0, WWW/LX, POST/LX

I have used no extra drivers or point enablers. All SW is commercially
available. I have used no extra fixes for the DC23 card.

The DOS world is not big, but it still exists, whatever the software
support people of today think!

Thanks

Goran..

I want to upgrade my 14,4 modem to 56K. I noticed that the HP660LX uses the
Wisecom 56K modem. Does anyone know if that will work in the 200LX? What are my
other choices of modems that are still for sale in the marketplace?

BTW, I bought an Actiontec 56K, and it does not work. :-(

I read on this list that Quicken 5.0 for DOS is not Y2K compliant. I
rolled the date up a year, and other than it not recognizing 29 Feb
2000 as a valid date, I haven't seen any issues. Does anybody know any

Don't give up on CPACK and NT.  I've had it working with an NTFS-based
system with 100% reliability at both 56 Kbps and 115 Kbps for quite some
time now.  It's simply not true that it "won't" work on NT.  I think the
most important things are to ensure that your autoexec.nt and config.nt
files are appropriate and that there are no other NT processes or programs
trying to use the same serial port.  I use the CPACK pims on the NT machine
and sync them with the palmtop versions every day and have never had a
problem.

If you want more details on my setup (although there isn't much to it),
email me off-list.

Sure beats having to keep Windows 95/98 on your desktop machine (although it
isn't as good as Linux/FreeBSD!)

There have been other threads on this subject. Most of us cannot
get it to work on NT at all. In fact, after a while, CPACK Filer
seems to refuse to launch at all. (In fact, now I can't get CALC
to work either!) NT just does not support the DOS communication
functions very well. To accomplish the same function, you need
TFWIN200, which does work, but at slower speeds. Other
alternatives include: HyperTerminal <-> 200lxComm, and,
Boot DOS to run CPACK or ZIP.

If your setup isn't too involved, say 50 lines of text or so, why not just
post it here. That way, it's on record and gets archived, and I'm sure
there's more than just a few people who who benefit (me included). Please
post your autoexec.nt and config.nt .... as I said tho, it they're not too

Subject:      Re: Gem software

The way I hear it is that the CPM guy's wife told the IBM guys to get
stuffed. They came in and demanded that she sign a non-disclosure agreement
before they would discuss anything (pretty standard business practice). she
was intimidated by these corporate types and their pushy ways and showed
them the door. Bill Gates had actually sent them to DR because he didn't
want to be in the business of supporting an operation system. MS was only to
provide the BASIC language. When they came back to Gates and told what
happened he decided to go with a friend of his from College that had also
written an operating system. He bought it from the guy, lock stock and
barrel, for $60,000 and named it DOS.  In order to save the PC and his
contract to provide BASIC He gave IBM a license to distribute a copy with it
for a one time fee. He did reserve the right to resell the OS on his own. MS
really made money when the PC-clone manufacturers came out and also needed
an OS to sell. MS started selling MS-DOS with every clone machine sold and
made a killing. They were also smart enough to charge a per-copy royalty.

Many people say Bill is a shifty scheming guy(which may be true today) but
back then it seems that he just stepped in sh*t and got lucky.

Thanks for the tip - I wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to get this
great desktop suite running on the 200LX!

Where can I find WordPlus? Only the German version is evident on the GEM
World site. I have already downloaded:

-GEM 3.01 (includes Paint and FirstWord)
-Desktop ver. 1.1 (in hopes I can get it to run over 3.01 system & apps)
-Write 1.0
-Draw (ver. 2.x?)
-DR Doodle

Any other "must haves" I should grab?

I think a parallel port card would be the best solution. SCSI-Cards are
expensive. With a parallel port you have several solutions: easy CD-access,
printing and faster data transfer via parallel connection with your desktop.

I tried doing a hard reset - wiping ram disk/taking out batteries and it
still won't timeout.  I'm not using ac power or a modem card (so no lxcic)
as were also suggested as possible causes.  While it's not critical that i
solve the problem it is starting to annoy me.  I've had to make sure that
all alarms are disabled or it will wake up and not turn back off until
batteries are drained.  Thanks for all the help so far - this is a great

Yep,  the timeout was working fine after that and everything else seems to
be working ok - I've put it through and extensive amount of software tests
and some hardware tests with no noticeable problems so it seems kinda weird
that is the only thing that would go wrong. It may well have something to
do with residual effects of the dunking but since I don't know how the
timeout works, I'm not quit sure how to go about testing for the cause -
since resetting the ram doesn't work I'm guessing it's a hardware problem

As with any such doo-wah, if its value to you exceeds the cost the seller
wants for it, go enjoy! A 95LX has less complete DOS compatibility than a
100/200LX, because its display is only 40x16 text; there's support for panning
that around a larger "virtual" display, but that's not generally very useable
for practically running programs. This means fewer apps are available for 95LX
than for 100/200. But there are still a great plenty for many people!

The PCMCIA slot in a 95LX supports Version 1.0 only, which means memory
devices only, which means you cannot use an internal modem in it at all. There
was one quasi-exception to this statement, a wonky card that had a 2400bps
modem on it and was interfaced as a memory card. Since normal PC serial ports
(and internal modems) are _not_ memory mapped, there's no way to make this
look like a normal serial port to software. Worse, the memory-mapped interface
was a proprietary secret of the manufacturer. As a result, the only software
that could interact with the modem at all was the program provided by the
manufacturer --- which sucked hard. No cursor addressing at all, no way to
send a backspace character, etc. Repulsive. And since it wasn't X-Jack, you
still had to carry around an external dongle dowah, which means this viciously
nasty monster didn't have any advantages over a pocket modem. Just drained
your batteries faster:-).

Also, a 95LX came in two versions, 512KB RAM and 1MB RAM. Note that this
internal RAM is program memory _AND_ C: drive space. The 512KB machine ends up
being painfully limited; think of it as a larger, nicer PIM, a moderately
chunky but particuarly functional replacement for a Casio Boss or thereabouts.
With a 1MB machine on the other hand you can have 640KB of program memory and
384KB of C: drive, which you can compress with e.g. JAM if you want (slows the
machine down though). You'll really want to get a memory card for it.

Older FLASH cards came with special drivers to allow them to be used in a
95LX; if you can find a FLASH with suitable drivers that'd be the best. If
not, SRAM cards work fine with no drivers needed, and the old 1MB Newton cards
are cheap as dirt.

> What would be the general amount a 95LX would be worth?

Worth? That's always a very subjective question. If I were in the market for a
95LX, I wouldn't pay more than $25 for a 512KB machine, I might go $50 for a
1MB 95LX in good working condition. Of course, since I'm not in the market for
one, those guesstimated numbers are totally worthless:-).

Oh, one nice thing about the 95LX -vs- the 100/200LX; its DC power jack has
the rectifier and filter inside it --- the 95LX can suck A/C through its jack,
and doesn't care which polarity if you feed it DC; it's also vastly tolerant
of voltage range. The 100/200LX shift a lot of that power supply cleanup out
into the wall wart, it's really better to avoid feeding them with anything
except the official HP power supply. On the other hand, it's a really sexy
wall wart, slim, light, folding prongs, 100-240V/50-60Hz.

> And what are its general capabilities compared to the 200LX?

Pretty limited. The builtin PIMs aren't nearly so rich. No general-purpose
database (though you can download Notepad, which is quite nice), though the
phonebook is pretty useable as is. The builtin appointment book wasn't good
enough to convince me to start using it, unlike the 100/200LX which have me
totally addicted. Unlike a 100/200LX you can't goose the clock; unlike a 2MB
100LX or any 200LX you can't upgrade the builtin RAM. On the other hand, it's
still a very very competant PIM, and a non-trivial pocket computer, and if you
can find use for what it can do, the price should certainly be right.

Go visit <URL:ftp://eddie.mit.edu/pub/hp95lx/>, or the newer an nicely
commented archive (with much the same content) at
<URL:http://www.palmtop.net/super95.html>; see what's available for it. If
that excites you then maybe you should get one. If you want more comparison,
visit that latter URL, then visit <URL:http://www.palmtop.net/super.html> and
compare.

For whatever it's worth, I owned a 95LX for many years after the 100LX came
out, and didn't bother upgrading. I actually held out until 2MB 200LXes came
down a bit in price, then jumped to there. But I could never, ever go back. I
got a 1MB 100LX to use as an "emergency spare" machine, and since my 200LX ran
into some troubles I've fallen back to the 100 with no real troubles --- I
just live mostly off FLASH. The difference between the top-of-the-line 95LX
(1MB) and the bottom-of-the-line 100LX (1MB) is far more important and
substantial than the difference between that 1MB 100LX and a 64MB
clock-doubled 200LX. Because you can easily make up much of that difference
with a suitable-sized FLASH card.

As a matter of interest, I think you will find that NextBase are/were a

Ordnance Survey maps. It was an amazing product when it first appeared. I
had no idea they had gone into the US market.

I'm not 100% sure. I _think_ you can run most of the builtin apps, one at a
time (i.e. always close one before opening another) in as little as 256KB.
Possibly even less. If you could live with 256KB set aside for DOS program
memory, then you'd have a 256KB C: drive.

With a 512KB 95LX, you're seriously strapped no matter what. But absolutely
positively get at least a 1MB SRAM card (should be only like $10 or so if you
can find someone who wants to get rid of one --- back 4-5 years ago they were
like $40). Then delete everything you possibly can off the C: drive, moving it
to A: (the SRAM card) and grow your DOS program memory as much as you can.

That happened to me around 10/26/98, but I never got a

So I reordered 10/27/98, and finally got the confirmation and all-in-all =

About a week or two after that the unit was removed from the site. This =
was
confirmed by myself and another list member.

But within that same time frame somebody was posting them for sale on the =

for $25.00 a shot.

So I/we assumed that this person bought the entire lot from NECX and that
was the reason that they were removed from the site..

Subject:      My appt.adb got corrupted

I turned on my 200LX this morning.  The Appointment book was what was on
top.  So it started doing the daily update of forwarding all my ToDos
from yesterday to today.  However, I also had a low battery condition
that I first was notified of last night.  Also, my appt.adb is sitting
on my stacked, 20MB flash card.

After it was on a little bit, it shut off.  I did not try turning it on
again until I had replaced the batteries.  I replaced them and then
turned it on.  It booted!  In other words, the appointment book was not
opened.

So, after it booted, I tried opening the appointment book.  It thought
for a while and then said, "Record not found".  So, apparently, it got
corrupted when the batteries gave out.

So, I went into Filer to make a copy of appt.apd into another directory
so I could use garlic to fix the corrupted *.?db file.  But Filer
complained of an I/O error.

So I tried to have garlic work on the file itself.  It, too, thought
about it for a little while and then came up with the well known,
"Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail" message.

So, I suspected that somehow, that spot on the flash got corrupted.  I
ran wear.exe and it reported that no leveling was needed.

I thought that maybe the directory got corrupted when trying to update
it during the power failure.  I ran CHKDSK that I found on the D:
drive.  It did not report any problems.

Through other means, I was able to read about 8K of the 29K file before
getting the "Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail" message.

Naturally, I had not backed up this file since I put in some important
information that I am trying to retrieve.

So, my question is, does anybody have any ideas on how I can resurrect
my appt.adb file?  It is on a stacked flash on my palmtop.  Is there
something I can download to the palmtop that could inspect the file
system?  Is it something Norton can handle?  Is there Norton stuff that
can run on the palmtop?  Any other ideas?

One other piece of information that might be pertainent.  I am running
software carousel.  But I think this might have happened anyway under
the conditions of appointment book self-updating when the power fails.

Subject:      Jam and Win95 Weirdness
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hello and happy new year to the list!

I'm experiencing some weirdness trying to get Jam to run umder Win95.  The
major problem is that Win95 is NOT processing the device=c:\setver.exe
statement in my config.sys file (reproduced below).  It is, I believe,
processing the other device statements - Jam tells me that I'm running the
wrong version of DOS, so I know that line is being read.  This is really
strange.  What would cause the OS to run some of the lines and not others.
Is it environment (?) or something else?  I know just enough DOS to be
dangerous, so please help!

Also, I was able to run the jmw (windows 3.11) program under Win95, but it
fails to recognize the jdrive.sys file (because jam.sys isn't loaded
because DOS is the wrong version, ..., and also because I don't have a
jmw.pif or jmount.pif file in c:\windows, so it can't find jmount.pif).
But, the shell (for jmount.com) does load and allow me to pick the
jdrive.sys file.  Could someone possibly help me with the *.pif file
format?  The jam docs are very spartan about how to run the program under
windows, with respect to the *.pif files.

SNIP

Are you sure setver.exe is located on the root of your C-drive?

On my Win95 (OSR2) setup it is located in C:\WINDOWS. Another reasonable
location would be C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.

Try finding setver.exe and then altering the path to the file in
config.sys accordingly.

Positive.  Put it there myself (from DOS 6.2).  But, I wasn't aware there
may be another (later?) version.  If so, I don't have it.  There is a
'setver.win' in the c:\windows directory.

A guess might be that the setver from DOS 6.2 doesn't install on a version
higher than it was created for (which seems to make sense I think), so it
doesn't load it. My SETVER.exe contains the string "MS-DOS 7", which is
the DOS Win95 ships with. Try renaming the setver.win to setver.exe and
see if that works. If not, you can have my a copy of my setver.exe if you
wish.

Hi Claud & List

As far as I know I am the only person on this list who has Jam running under
win95..Is there anyone else?

Try putting Setver first in Config.sys

Also if you start win95 in step by step confirm (F8) you'll see what is
happening..

I have not been able to get JMW working for same reasons as you..DOS only

PS  I guess what is needed here is a version of on the fly compression that
will work under DOS as well as Win95/98/NT... Stacker doesnt seem to..or
does one of the later versions?  Jam I managed to get going...  Is there any
other options for DOS 5.0 and Win products?  Doublespace for instance?
Anyone tried it?

Hi all

After Claudes message I managed to get JMW to work under win95 only to
discover its unusable.

JMW seems to be a GUI to pass parameters to Jmount.com and from what I saw
would be really cool if it worked under Win95.

Unfortunately I get "No Jam Drives available" and could not access my Jam
Drive at all unless Jam.sys and Jmount did their stuff BEFORE Win95 got
control of the comp.

I had pifedit.exe left from my Win3.1 system.  If anyone wants me to create
jmw.pif and jmount.pif I can send offlist..email me directory info where
your progs are located..ie C:\Jam or C:\hp\Jam etc

I have written a bulk email to every email address I could get from the
Jam125 docs asking for contact/update info..  Let you know what the response
is if any.

Russell

You MIGHT be able to force a text editor or MEMO to read the file and
extract the ascii info that it contains.  But if the disk's directory
structure was the real victim you probably will have trouble getting
into the file.

Good luck.

Well, today I got to thinking about my palmtop's screen, and I thought "You
know, this would be a lot better if it were in color."  It seems most folks
are turned off by color palmtops because of the current use in the 600 and
800-series HP palmtops, which are great big battery-hogging lumps of .. but
we won't get into that just yet.

Anyway, wouldn't it be great to get some of Sharp's new reflective color TFT
LCDs?  I mean, if our palmtop's graphics capabilities can't even keep up
with a friggin' Nintendo portable system (the only thing I know of that uses
Sharp's reflective color screens) then we're seriously behind the times.

Of course, this would require a massive hardware upgrade, but we'll leave
that to someone who knows how to do that.  640x480x32K... can't you just
taste it?

Subject:      TECH How can I intercept the "OFF" and "ON" keys ?
In-Reply-To:  Ian Butler's message of "Mon, 4 Jan 1999 20:54:49 -0800"
Mime-Version: 1.0 (generated by tm-edit 7.108)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

I have the Times2Tech batteries, and usually leave charging turned on.

I frequently swap PC cards in and out of my palmtop while it is
plugged in and charging.

I'd like to be able to hit the "OFF" key while charging, and have the
unit turn off (so that I can swap cards, and then turn it on again).

Note that I don't want to have to go to the hassle of going into the
setup screen and turning off charging manually.  Nor do I want to have
to hit another key to run a macro to turn off charging manually.  I
want it all to be done just by hitting the "OFF" key.

"OFF" should mean "OFF" regardless of charging state.  Agreed that the
timeout should be infinite while charging, but the "OFF" key should
still cycle the power.

Can anyone think of a way to do this ?

I'm assuming that it will involve intercepting the "OFF" key in an
interrupt routine somewhere, and flipping the charging bit before
letting the "OFF" key go to where it was going.  The reverse should
happen when the "ON" key (actually the same key, but you know what I
mean) comes through the same interrupt routine.

It'd also be really nice if the "Charging ...." messages were also
inhibited for these circumstances only by the same utility.

Anyone up to this ?  I'm too busy writing FTP servers to dig around
myself, and I know that others have a much better understanding of the
interrupt routines than I do ...

> are you using the dc-23 4 or 5 volt battery.

I am using the 5volts version (not the V4), but I know of people that
are using the 4v version on the hp200lx with no problems.
First I had problem with WWW/LX but dasoft eventualy fixed it.

> what phone are you using it with.

Ericsson GH388. It also works on a gh337.
(the v4 only works with the 6xx and 7xx Ericsson)

> does it use a cable or is it infrared?

A cable. No IR on that phone. The SH888 have a IR port but
is not compatible with the HP200LX IR protocol.

> which phone service to you use?

Any phone company would do. But here in Sweden You need to add computer
comunication capabilities at a cost of aprox $1.5 a month.
You just tell them to ad that service. You do not have to do anything
else.

Thanks for the kindness responding regarding DOS and CLIP.
Snipper is available as someone posted on
http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/rlgreen/screen.htm#copypaste
However, for it to work easily for exchange between various Software
Carousel sessions, the program would have to be reworked by one of you
computer whizzes.  The source code is included with the program.

Also, with all of the discussion on word processing, VDE still works great
though it cannot handle unlimited file size.  I have written book chapters,
though not books, on VDE on the palmtop.

Hi Russel,

I inserted the EURO as new currency in calc.
        -> open calc -> application -> conversion -> currency -> F2
        -> select empty field with F10 and cursor -> F2 -> enter name of
new currency
        -> enter exchange rate -> hit appropriate F-key

Of course EURO is my main currency :-)

Ciao

First look and see if you have an "A:" drive (with the EXP FLASH card
installed), if you do, in that drive is a file (lxmdrv.sys).  Copy this
file to your c:\_sys directory (or c:\) and make sure it is mentioned in
your config.sys.  Then re-boot.

If you do not have an "A:" drive, then look in your autoexec.bat and see
if you have the line;

d:\bin\cic100.exe /gen1

(an alternative to this line would be found in config.sys)
install d:\bin\cic100.exe /gen1

Or something mentioning the same file (cic100.exe).  If this file is not
"installed" then you have no access to the EXP's SRAM drive A:.

Don't worry, the information on the "F:" drive is not "lost", it's just
not available until the correct driver(s) are installed.

Two disclaimers...
1.)  If you have had a true failure of your FLASH memory (EXP) then hope
might be lost.
2.)  Something went wrong to cause the drivers to become "lost".  It
will be important to figure out why this happened and prevent it from
happening again. (Did you loan out your palmtop to a non-DOS user?  Were
you messing around with autoexec and config and made an error?)

They aren't available at the above site, but I have a couple of
programs I use and like which are Gem 3 applications.
If you see these at a swap meet grab them up.

Gem Artline is a drawing and illustration program.

PerForm is a form designing program.   (A later version, PerForm Pro
is a Windows application)

There is nothing special about the EURO in this aspect, I had the previous
ECU (ISO abbreviation XEU) in my HP200 (and mailed daily from the XENON
currency update service) since almost two years now. Just add the EURO as
any other currency. The only thing you won't get is the new crazy symbol,
but that has not become stable on the big desktops neither.

A great advantage of the new EURO is that limit to 21 currencies in the
palmtop currency converter application becomes a less painful restriction in
the future. It is just unfortunate that most daily transactions in the
countries involved will be in the old currencies for yet a couple of years.

I made myself a journal database that consists of a date field, a Category

bunch of entries like this:

01/01/99
01/02/99
01/03/99
01/04/99
01/05/99

in the main screen.  The problem is, if I want to go to a particular date,
I can't seem to do it.  If I type 07/10/97, it goes to the last record.
If I type anything, in fact, it skips to the last record.  The only thing
I can type in the "Locating:" quick-find box that won't skip to the last
record, in fact, is 0.  Then it stays on the first record.

I looked in the manual, and it doesn't mention this.  Anybody know what I
should type in to go to a particular date, or is it impossible?

Well, I've never been one to pass up an opportunity to go Bill-bashing, so
I'll bring forward this episode from Bill: The Early Years:

As far back as '82-'83, Steve Jobs contracted Bill at Micro$oft to write
the first applications for a new computer called a Macintosh. Steve knew it
would be death to release a new type of computer without at least a few
apps to run on it. Bill agreed wholeheartedly, as he wanted the opportunity
to break into application development (having previously been limited to
developing languages and the occasional OS).

Then, at the last minute, Bill threatened to halt development of the Mac's
apps unless Apple agreed to:
     1) License parts of the Mac GUI to MS for use in future MS
applications (Bill would in fact go on to use this as the basis for
Windows, an OS-shell, not an application) and
     2) Kill the just-completed MacBasic and instead ship MS-Basic for Mac
(Bill would later rip off Apple's aborted MacBasic, and parts of Apple's
HyperCard, to use as the basis for Visual Basic). Before long, Bill dropped
MS-Basic for Mac anyway, due in part to the fact that it was awful and
incomplete.

No wonder the MacHeads have been screaming about Bill for fifteen years
now!

I think that the "quick find" gadget in the database engine works on TEXT
fields only.  Since you're working with a date field... I think you're up
the creek... But I could be wrong.

Anyone have Andy Gryc's email?  Didn't he write the database program for
HP?

Subject:      Parallel port PCMCIA cards and their many uses.

        Hello all,

    Considering how expensive are the two recent parallel PCMCIA
    card types available for LX, it's lucky that they have many
    uses to compensate for price.

    Parallel port Iomega Zip, HDD, CD-ROM are obvious; as NONE of
    existing SCSI PCMCIA card works with the HPLX due high juice draw.

    Scanner, printer, laplink and network, too. I'd recommend that
    every parallel PCMCIA owner should look for a "pocket ethernet/
    token-ring adapter"; which has parallel on one end and network
    the other. These were common devices in the sunny days of 286/
    386 laptops and may be easy to find used for a few bucks.
    Their bandwith is not that wide, but probably the bottleneck
    will be the palmtop itself. (Xircom made these and others).

    As an ethernet PCMCIA card costs quite a lot and only has one
    or two uses; this solution may be more economical (if you want
    to have access to networks using the palmtop).

    BTW, what happened to the thread about logging in to Win NT
    networks, using some old drivers from early OS/2 ver 1/2.x?

                   Sincerely: Tamas Feher.

Actually, an Ethernet PCMCIA card that works with the 200LX can be had for
about $60, far less than a parallel port card, let alone a parallel port
card and an Ethernet adapter.  However, since the parallel port card has
other uses too, it's a question of what you want to do with it... but
money-wise, a PCMCIA Ethernet card (specifically, the Accton EN2216-1) is
more economical for straight network access.

Yes, it definitely sounds as if the 512 KB version of the 95LX is far too
limited for
what I want to use it for.  The 1MB version, along with a 1MB SRAM card,
sounds quite usable, though.  Thanks for this information.

Along this thread...

I have a board called a "Microsoft Softcard".  This board was built by
Microsoft, actually was the first "hard" product Microsoft created, and
was used in an Apple-2 computer to allow a user to run CPM (a Digital
OS).  It has a Z-80 CPU.  This card was released just before the
"secret" contract negotiations with IBM were started.  The year was
1980.  Also released that year was Microsoft Basic (for the Softcard)
and some other stuff.  There was no M$ DOS at the time the Softcard was
released.  This information is available in Microsoft's History on the
Microsoft Homepage.

I'm going to go out on a limb here for a second and suggest that it was
not the Apple GUI that Microsoft copied, or "borrowed" from.  I use as
an example the key combinations for cut, paste and copy.  The _exact_
combinations used to this day by Microsoft are the _exact_ combinations
used in the (GUI before M$ ever started Windows) Amiga OS.  Also, if you
have ever used early versions of the "windowing" OS's, you might get a
better "feel" for where stuff comes from.

I have working versions (and the machines to run them on) of MS Windows
286, Amiga OS 1.2, and Mac OS ?.?.? (can't recall exactly the version,
but it's on my Mac+) and of all three systems, the Amiga has the most
similarity to the M$ Windows system.  Also note that the Amiga GUI
predates _all_ the other OS.

I guess the reason I started this response was to "leak" a bit of steam
about the public's thinking that computers are either M$ or Apple.

I agree with your basic summary: a 95LX is a useful and competant pocket
computer, and can be an excellent value, and a nice safe way to get an initial
handle on whether the form factor and packaging will work for you.

No worse that way than most electronic gizmos that use wall warts. You can
still find one at Radio Shack that will work with a 100/200LX --- you just
need to take care to get precisely the right one. It wants 12VDC, with the
right polarity, and suitable current capacity. By contrast you could shove
something like 9-18V AC or either polarity of DC into a 95LX, which means it
could run off a much wider assortment of adaptors.

But since the 100LX/200LX adaptor is so very nice, this doesn't end up being a
significant downside in my opinion. In fact, if I were to get a 95LX today,
I'd run it off a 100/200LX wall wart.

I bet you mean, can info saved from 95LX builtin apps be loaded into a 200LX,
and the answer is yup, they import the databases fine. HP (or I guess Lotus?)
planned on all 95LX owners upgrading to 100LXes, and wanted to make sure it'd
be easy and pleasant so folks who upgraded would talk up the new palmtops.
Going the other way is harder though not impossible; if I wanted to suck data
from a 100/200X database into the 95LX phonebook, I'd use gdbdump to take it
to CSV, canonicalize it there using Perl, then take it on into the 95LX with
Notepad (available from Eddie and from Super).

I was just getting ready to post a message on this subject and you
brought it up for me.  Can you suggest somewhere to purchase a
compatible Ethernet PCMCIA card for the 200lx in this price range?  A
online store would be excellent.  I think you have mentioned some retail
chains before, but I don't think they exist in this area (or at least
didn't when you mentioned them :-)

Thanks,

Stan

Amiga GUI predates other GUI/OSes? I'm not sure. Both the first Mac and
the first Amiga (1000) came out in 1984 (or rather, the Amiga was
previewed in 1984, while first being commercially released in 1985), and
according to Microsoft's timeline (whatever that is worth...), the first
version of Windows was made (if not sold, I'm not sure) in 1983. Also, the
first version of Word is from 1983 and might have same keyboard shortcuts,
if not the GUI.

This makes it rather unclear who's is copying who.

OK MS-haters, here's a list of products and how I think MS has made the
world a better place.

1) Linux / OSS -- How would Linus have invented linux if he hadn't been
unhappy with existing MS products? Without linux we'd all be paying mucho
$$$ for a Unix variant instead of the freedom we now enjoy.

2) Mac -- If it weren't for Microsoft's bloated code and need to constantly
re-invent the wheel, we would all still be using orginal Macintosh 1
machines due to lack of competition ( Hey, I liked them, but a Power G3 with
OS8 is much better).

3) Novell -- NDS wouldn't exist because of lack of competition. We'd
probably all still be using Netware 4 and trying to figure out how to run
IPX over the Internet.

4) Hardware -- Again, without Microsoft's constant software bloat would
there be PII 450's? Would good hardware be so cheap today?

5) The Internet -- Sorry, but the { I } wouldn't even be close to where it
is today without Microsoft's advertising push, even though MS has seldom
fully delivered on their promises.

I think it's time for some apologies to MS and for all you complainers to
give it up and admit Microsoft is the greatest company on Earth. I
personally think MS is the best thing to ever happen to the computing world,
even though I seldom use their products anymore ;)

As long as there are games there will be PII 450+ machines Yes,
Microsoft's programs are big, but the real reason why we all upgrade every
18 months is that the latest games require more and more processing
power...

And the Internet today is good compared to how it was earlier? I don't
think it holds true. For Usenet at least it doesn't.

Does anybody have an extra owners manual for a 95LX that they could photo
copy or sell to my friend (see below). Also, what type of serial cable does
he need to connect it to a pc? If you want you may write him directly or

Hi Jeff, i received my xmas present... a hp95lx palmtop hi hi. I am
really amazed at the sixe of those things. I never received the
operatind manual with it or the serial connector to transfer files from
my desktop to the palmtop. I know you are in a gruoup that is involved
with the palmtops, could you please do me a favour and post a message
asking if anyone can sell me a photo-copy of the hp95lx manual and if
anyone has a spare serial connector. The port in the hp95 uses a very
small four (4) pin plug. I also received your qsl card in the mail tnx

It's not abandonware.  Borland will probably get very upset if you include
it as a utility in anything, especially a commercial package.  For private
use, they allow this: you can buy a copy of whatever version of Turbo C++
they still sell, and apply that license to an older version (whatever that
version might be, and wherever you got it).  You may not use the new
version and the old version at the same time, etc.

So if I bought Turbo C++ 3.0 or 4.5, I would be licensed to use either
that version I purchased, or an old copy of 1.01 on my palmtop.

Jon Carson is my new hero.  MAN!  $44 for an Accton card!  Everybody, this
is a good time to buy if you've been holding out...

If anybody needs help setting up the Accton card, or wants to find out
what can be done with it, I have several resources on my site, including
the Networking FAQ and a reproduction of the Jan/Feb 1997 Article in the
Palmtop Paper, about the Accton card.

www.shopper.com will show that the EN2216-1 is cheaper from BuyComp, where
I just bought mine last week (at around $55). However, including state
taxes and shipping, it's probably a wash with HardwareStreet.

I'm still waiting on time to install the necessary drivers and set it up on
my 200LX... the enclosed specs show a power consumption of 130mA, well
within the 150mA in the LX slot.

If I remember right, I measured a current usage of less than that even
with my EN2216-2 card, which uses more power than the -1.  Something like
40 or 50ma.  Of course, I could be thinking of something else.  I'll have
to try it again...

Also, Xerox did a presentation for the development team that worked
for Apple and subsequently the Lisa was born, after Apple hired
several key Xerox people. The Lisa was the first of these that was
offered commercially but was a failure due to the limited processor
power. The Lisa GUI was reworked and became the original MAC OS.

As far as MS having windows earlier than the MAC that is probably a
case of revisionist history. THe old "we didn't steal it, we wrote

Sorry, I don't have an extra owner's manual, I'm shy one for my 95LX (it's
in the Childers HandHeld-Obsolete Computer Museum "CHHOCM")  <make a
sound like your clearing your throat to pronounce it> as well. But... I do
have some info.

First, try my LXArchive site at it's NEW URL:
http://archive.hplx.net
There's a TON of old 95LX info there... try the UseNet archives, or
eddie.mit.edu's archive.  The FAQ is in there somewhere....

Second, Scotty's HP Palmtop Mania has the 95LX FAQ as well, in HTML format
at:
http://www.intercall.com/~smr/palmtop/95lxfaq.htm

Third, try Mitch's Palmtop Network 95LX page at:
http://www.palmtop.net/super95.html


As far as a serial cable goes, the standard HP F1015 cable will work, as
it comes with a little dohickey adapter that snaps onto the 100/200LX end
and converts it to the 4-pin 95LX/HP48 cable.  He can use TransFile Win
200 to transfer files back and forth.

Make sure to get 95Buddy from either www.buddy.com, my LXArchive, or
Mitch's SUPER95 page.  That'll make some of the shortcomings of the 95
easier to bear... (although it does nothing for the 40x16 screen).  :(

Because of the parallel stuff.

I followed Laust's suggestion, renaming c:\windows\setver.win to setver.exe
and putting it in c:\windows\command.  That worked, but now I get two
drives, both of which are "drive not ready".

The setver problem was that I was using the DOS v6.2, not the one
(setver.win) that comes with Win95.  The latest one I'm not sure about.
Won't have a chance to work on it until later in the week.

Haven't tried dblspace, but dosshell from DOS v6.2 works on the LX, so, ...
may give that a try later in the week.  BUT, will it work with Win95?

I never had a manual for my 95LX, but managed nevertheless. A little trial
and error should do the trick :-)

Of course, there are also some ex-95LX users on the list, sort of a
virtual manual :-)

If memory serves, there were several FAQs for the 95LX. The newest one
seems to be:

http://clove.garlic.com/lxarchive/Portables/HP95LX/Hp95faq.txt

But it appears somewhat incomplete...

And should you want to make a cable yourself (which is what I did), a
description of the pins and what they do can be found in the HP48 FAQ or,
I think, one of the 95LX FAQs.

HP48 FAQ link:
http://www.hpcalc.org/docs/faq/48faq-6.html#ss6.17

Also, be sure to get the text-editor called Freyja from SUPER95 on
www.palmtop.net (in the "Editor" section). It uses a soft-font that gives
you a 64x21 chars resoulution as opposed to the regular 40x16. This
_really_ helps. (It also does 80x25, but it isn't really useful and much
too slow). The editor itself is based on UNIX EMACS, but has menu support
too.

Now, this page can be accessed through the miracle of fake hosting, at:

http://archive.hplx.net/Portables/HP95LX/Hp95faq.txt

There's another way to get to it, but it's too obscene to mention on a

Yep... that's my page... but you can get to it via

Totally forgot about Craig Finseth'w Freyja!  I used it *a lot* with my
95, in 64x21.  Thanks for the reminder!  Hm... I wonder if I should pull
out the 95LX for some retro-computing action...

You seem to imply this is due to some flaw in the OB530.
Perhaps the real issue is that you do not have Win95 drivers
for the 530's PCMCIA slot. (I don't know if they even exist.)

Note that I use an Accton card (recommended to me by David personally)
for development of LXTCP, and have found it to work flawlessly (even
on batteries, but AC is better).

I can't begin to describe how much easier it has been to work with my
HP since I connected to to the network - and started running an FTP

Hello all

I had a crosslinked file on my C: a couple of weeks ago and now another one.
I had to re initialise my C: 2 weeks ago when I re installed Tremm..  I
thought the original was caused by low batteries but batteries now are
almost full charge..

Second occurrence so soon leads me to question why after more than a year
trouble free.

Is there anything hardware or software that I need to look for or do?  I
have an 8meg DS from Thaddeus..

Regards

Russell

Hello.
If any of you listers out there are cooking fans, the Meal-Master DOS
recipe program is now freeware!  There is an earlier version on the SUPER
site which was from back in the days when it was shareware.  The newest
version runs just fine on the LX (once you get the color scheme worked
out).  Download it from:

Hi David & List

I have a DB sorted by date like this

19990105
19990106

It works great and there are no /'s to enter. :)

The only other thing I can think of to check is what field is first in your
DB..I think this is default and is changeable by either system or Buddy for
fast locate which is what I think you are attempting.

    Hmm, well I was in contact with one of the co-authors, not author itself.

    Well, I know - there were copyright probs with company producing Stacker and
they have finished their work with v1.25. There were some works on beta version
v1.30 (I guess), but there were not publicly released.

Going on this we may be out of luck.

Does anyone on the list live geographically close to Kiev Ukraine? The time
difference makes it difficult to phone from Australia. There are numbers
listed in the Jam Docs..

not sure if this ever made it to the hp48 faq, but also usuable as the
hp95/48 end of the cable (aside from the 4pin cd-audio plug) is the 4pin
mini power lead from a power supply (the type that attaches to most 3.5"
floppy drives these days) and also the 4pin plug for most PC's internal
speaker.  there was also a company that gave away a lot of the adapters
about a year ago for free (just the plug and a short length of cable),
they might still be giving them away, i'll look up on it.

Thanks to everyone that has responded to me with help for my friend that
has acquired a 95LX! He has found a connector that fits the serial port
on the 95LX but were unsure where to connect the wires from the connector
to the 25 pin connector that will attach to his desktop machine. Does
anyone have a pin out diagram of the 25 pin connector that shows where to
attach the four wires that go to the connector that fits the serial port
on the 95LX?

David to do what you are wanting you need to define the "date field"
as a text field rather than a date field.  I tried what you are doing
by sorting one of my databases by the field "Invoice Date" which is a
date field and I get the same result as you - the "speed locate"
doesn't seem to work on date fields - I defined a new database and
used a text field - which worked  - try it and let me
know if it solves your problem.

Well, I hate to get back on this subject, but I'll try and steer clear of
the legal and philosophical landmines this time.

Increasingly, companies have started being nice and re-releasing their old
stuff as freeware.  I got to thinking about it.. it's not "abandonware"
since the company recognizes it, but it's not "freeware" in the sense that
you used to have to pay for it.  It's not "free abandonware", since all
abandonware is free, and it's also not "abandoned freeware".  This is really
bugging me, folks.  Come up with a name.

And while you're at it, get CGAHLP (I think it was) and a copy of Epic
MegaGames' classic ZZT.  It's been re-released, complete with all the
worlds.  They did the same with Super ZZT, which was ZZT's ugly successor.

If you've never played ZZT, think of Zelda: Link's Awakening (the Game Boy
game) in text mode with smart characters and a level editor.  Or, you could
just say that it's what Kroz should have been, but, pathetically, failed to
be.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the pointer.  I ordered one and the cost including shipping
was less than $45, with a first time order discount of 10% and
reasonable shipping.

Hopefully it will get shipped right away.

I sold a Libretto 50 to get the 800CT.  It's larger and heavier, but not a
lot.  The 800 has a 10.4" SVGA TFT screen vs. a 6" VGA TFT screen on the
Libretto, the OB can have more memory, has a larger hard drive, a REAL mouse
and very good battery life.  It also has a far superior keyboard.  There are
other features the OB has the puts it ahead of the Libretto.  I will never
regret the decision to sell the Libretto.  The OB has so much going for
it...it's the best portable computer I have ever owned...just like the 200LX
is the best palmtop I have ever owned.

Hows about Greyware as a name??  Similar to the retired folks that some
write off as no use in society but can be INCREDIBLY beneficial if their
knowledge and skills are utilised to their capacity.

So far I've gotten the driver loaded, but I'm not sure
which port I should use when loading.  I've tried com1 and
com2, but with no luck.  Any suggestions?

By the way, I tried searching the list archive via the URL
in the list tagline, but got the dreaded 404 message.

Thanks for any help!

I have a similiar database that I use as a personal journal. It has a
date, time,
and Note field. It's indexed by date. I can type in the date and the
database
positions to the correct entry.
I wonder... do you key your date as 99/01/05 or do you use the date
function
to enter the date? I use the date function and the date goes in as
99-01-05.

Folks,

I have noticed that many book publishers now have "sample Chapter" or
"first chapters" available free on their sites. See www.bean.com for
example.


Also some Magazines are carrying a few stories and articles from the
current issue as a sample. See Analog SF or US News for examples.

Thanks goe!  I saw this command in the manual, but was not
sure if it was appropriate.  The manual indicates that the
baud rate will be set to 2400 with this command.  Is there
any way to increase the transfer rate?

This sounds encouraging.  Is your date field a real "Date" format field,
or is it a text field?

Seems there's a number of people on the list with the recently discontinued
Omnibook 800CT, including me.

I'm finding that the same things I did for the LX, such as buying AC
adapters for home and work, spare batteries and peripherals with low power
requirements to help us squeeze another minute out of the batteries, are
all applicable to the OB800. On both machines, increasing the available RAM
helps to reduce disk use and therefore may prolong battery life.

I've already increased my OB800 RAM to 80mb (64mb module from CDW for
$134). Does anyone have leads on good deals for:

1) spare battery
2) spare AC adapter
3) any other accessories at a good price?

Has anyone figured out how to transfer data between the OB800 and the 200LX
using IR (looks like OB800 is IRDA only...is there a SIR driver somewhere?)
I've installed and used Transfile successfully, but it's limited in speed
(seems unstable past 19200).

Ideally, I'd like to just transfer data by swapping my Simple Tech 40mb
flash, but still haven't gotten the OB800 to recognize it (thanks to all
the many good leads from this list...be assured that I've tried them all,
tho maybe not yet in every combination).

The Simple 33.6 Communicator modem which is mentioned on David Sargeant's
website works great on the OB800, so there's some synergy there.

Thats strange, my "date field" is labeled as such and works just fine.
I think the problem has something to do with the date format in Setup.

BTW: My date field is the first field in the Database. and the format
in Setup is MM-DD-YY. (but the date shows as 01/05/1999) and the Fast =
Find
works just fine. (:-)

If your are David would like a copy  my Database to try drop me a
line.
Just my 2 cents.

The card itself is pretty similar, but with a different size connector on
the edge, and the EN2216-2 card is a little heavier.  The main difference
is the breakout box connector, which plugs into the card.  The -1 is very
small, with only a little RJ45 jack and the two LEDs.  The -2 has an RJ45
jack and a coaxial 10Base2 connector, which adds power drain and a lot of
bulk.  And 10Base2 can't be used on the palmtop anyway, since it uses too
much current.  So... get the -1.

I also have joined the ranks of the new ob800 users.  I have gotten
flash cards to work on the system.  I found that the input/output range
was critical to get the cards to work.  (found in the control panel,
system properties, hard drives, the new IDE/ESDI hard disk controller
that showed up when the card was installed, resources tab.)
The range must be 0170-0177 on the first resource type and the second
resource must be 0376-0377.  The interrupt is not important (just a free
one).  Once you set the values the system remembers it for the next time
the card is installed. I have used this on several different notebook
systems using the ace 10meg and the Viking 16meg compact flash cards.

Good luck on the cards.

My vote is also for the OB800. Though I've never actually owned one, I
worked with an OB800 for about 3 months. I have owned a Libretto 50ct and
while a fine machine, my eyes aren't what they used to be so I needed a
bigger screen and keyboard.

What I did want to ask is what about the new ultrathin machines from sony
(the 505 series) and toshiba (the portege 3010)? they are a little larger
(about the size of a 8.5x11 sheet of paper) but they're less than 1" thick,
the weight is way down <3 lbs., and the hardware is more current. Anyone
have any thoughts or experiences with these?

I have been doing some serious shopping in this area.  The HP is a bit
heavier but has an instant on feature and known durability.  The new 266
MHz Sony is the only other I am considering.  I don't know if I need the
speed but the 5.5 hour battery life with the high capacity battery is a
big plus.  The Sony also seems to be built better than the Portege 3010.

Mandatory on topic content:  I can't see these replacing my 200LX unless
the Omnibook had at least a 10 hour battery life.

Turn the unit off, then press ESC-ON.  It will come up to the diagnostic
menu.

If you have the double-speed upgrade, your screen may be distorted and
some tests may erroneously report bad hardware.

I have found that the Windows based version of the Appointment Manager is
able to open files that the Palmtop reports as "Record not found", having
recently suffered an Appointment Book corruption myself. Once opened, you
can then export the Appointment Book to a new "clean" file and transfer it
back to the Palmtop. I recovered most of my corrupt file using this method.

I am not sure where the Windows version is available, but SUPER is probably
a good start point, alternatively someone else may be able to provide a
pointer for you.

BTW, I tried Garlic and ADBIO at the same time with no success, but somebody
on the list suggested GDBLOAD/BDBDUMP which I never tried as I had already
recovered using the above method. So GDBLOAD/BDBDUMP may also be worth a
try. All these are available on SUPER.

I saw a couple of things that interested me in the latest PC Magazine (Jan
19, 1999).  There was mention of the Palm VII device that'll be coming
out, with what looks to be a built in version of the 3Com Allpoints
Wireless modem built in.  Sounds like an interesting product...

And second, Bill Howard's column mentions Lotus Agenda: Ten years ago,
Lotus Agenda had the smarts to know that if today were January 19, 1999,
"Let's set up an 11:00 meeting next Monday with the Binford reps" would
mean Monday, January 25, 1999, at 11:00 AM, with Binford Corp.

That sounds like quite a program.  Is Agenda the one that Lotus now offers
as freeware?  If so, is it as interesting as the quote makes it seem?

It sure is.  I've gotten glimpses of the product... <grin>  Quite nice.

That is the same Agenda that Lotus has as unsupported freeware.  It is
quite powerful, although I'm ignorant as to how to use it.  I've got it
installed on my LX... but have never taken the time to figure it out.

I got mine at MicroWarehouse for $999 which included the docking station
and 8x CD drive (those two items normally list for several hundred).

The box comes with WFW and Win95 pre-installed, but you have to choose one,
and that's what you get licensed for.... I chose Win95.

The unit comes with no suites or major apps except some PIM software which
mimic the Phone and Appt apps on the LX (the LX's .adb and .pdb files are
readable by the OB800's PIM). Not bad, except too "Win-ish" for my taste.
Tho they might be useful as a means of shaking out bad records in an
adb/pdb....maybe the OB800 version (which sounds like the one distributed
with OB600 and mentioned on this list before) has added error handling to
fix database bugs..just a thought.

Just saw the review on ZDTV (cable 62). The service is $10.00 a month.
So check out ZDTV when you get home to night, they re-run their programs
all day.

My favorites are Call For Help, The ScreenSavers and all of their
shows have live Chat. Great Fun I might add. (:-)

It would be nice if an Explorer like app that could pull files out of a JAM
file.  If we could get some source code from the author it might be
possible.  Maybe it could be as sophisticated as a ZIP view add in such as
what Win98 includes for Explorer.

And do NOT run the card test on a FLASHram card (it was designed for

Thanks for your help. At least two people have sent me the acecard driver,
which does the trick beautifully.  This is apparently a commercial product
without an owner. Unfortunate -- the copyright notice makes download sites
shy away, while there is no one to pay for this useful gem. (I know lots of
you would volunteer to receive payment, but save the bandwidth!)

I see a lot of traffic on this list about Omnibook 800s, so I thought I'd
share the following news.

When I moved from NT4 to NT5 (Win2K) Beta 2, I was disappointed that instant
suspend/resume no longer seemed to work -- I had to use the much slower
hibernate (where all of memory had to be written to disk).

I'm happy to report that Win2K Beta 3 -- or at least the initial release
candidate (RC0) -- once again supports instant suspend/resume. So life is
good, very good.

I am building a small piece of code to send bytes out the HP200LX serial
port to an Analog-to-Digital board, then wait for a reply back at the
same port.

I am using the "OUT portno, byte" and the "x = INP (portno)" commands

What is the correct port number for the serial port on the HP200LX?

Yes, and yes.  If you work the way it does, it can be a real killer ap.  Runs
both smoothly and quickly on my 32 meg, 2x machine.  It also works nicely on
my desktop pentium, of course.

I have not had the time to move to it as a primary (way to much to do) but,
yes, that is the program.

$12 sounds good to me.  What about for the actual
manuals?

Yes, still in So. Cal.  No, haven't installed Win95
yet.  Also haven't cleaned up the keyboard, what with
the holidays, kids, etc.  Plan to get to it soon.

Subject:      Question on 95LX Programming
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=euc-kr
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Hi everybody.

I'm trying to program a simple oriental language displayer for my 95LX
which seems to be somewhat similar to Mr./Ms. Kazuhisa Terasaki's kdisp95 program.

I want to cheat text-mode programs so that I can run them in the graphics mode.
I've discussed with Mr./Ms. Kazuhisa Terasaki about this problem,
and he said to me as follows:

> I almost forgot about HP-LX programming...  It was long time ago for me.

> Anyway, I remember:

>  - Pick 1 character code from virtual MDA screen image on memory
>  - Generate "graphics image" of that character
>  - Put it to G-RAM area
>  - Loop while end

I want to know the location of the "virtual character screen" and
the structure of it. And again, I want to know which interrupt serves
the function that transfers characters from the "virtual character
screen" to the actual V-RAM area.

Is there anybody who can help me?
Thanks in advance, bye.

I though I saw this modem on the "approved list" on some faq somewhere.
The current draw on the modem from the ad says:
Power Consumption:
        Active Mode (Off Hook): 144 mA
        Standby Mode (On Hook): 13 mA

I have a Motorola Power 14.4 modem.  When I put that in my HP100LX, it
works.  I can dial out and everything.

When I put the Eigercomm 33.6 modem in my HP100LX, I can't get the modem
to display any output or go off hook.  No response at all.

When I put the Eigercomm modem in my laptop (after installing the
drivers), it works fine.

Any thoughts?

Happy new year to all on the list.

I have finally bitten the bullet and have sent off my HP to
Thaddeus for a 64M upgrade (thanks Santa).

The sticky problem of back up now comes up. I have a 20MB
flash that I want to compress and use for the backup. I've
got copies of Stacker (V3.0) and Jam (V1.25) and am after some
feedback from the list of the pros/cons to either software.

I'd also like to use the flash in a Win95 machine to backup
the backup!! If this has any bearing on the decision.

Thanks to all for my daily Palmtop fix. Nice to know I'm
not alone!


Regards

David Cripps

It's defined as a Text field. Based on a previous post I just read,

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

FYI, we had some trouble with the Euro rates on the http://www.palmtop.net/money.html currency converter system over the last few days. I have taken care of it, removing the ECU and replacing it with the EUR, calculated based on the fixed Euro exchange rates.

Unfortunately the Bank of Montreal has announced it is temporarily suspending its Web rates page -- my guess is to take care of the Euro issue. I don't know how soon it will be revived, or how much work we might have to do once it's back up to adjust for changes they might make. In the meantime, those who need daily updates should take a look at Yves Leurquin's 1-2-3 based system for updating the currency converter with Xenon's daily exchange info (Xenon's rather tough license does not allow us to use its data on the palmtop.net Web site).

Yves' system can be found at http://www.palmtop.net/cgi-bin/sup-srch.pl?search_phrase=Yves

Thanks for your patience and understanding,

-Peter

Thanks but your warning came too late. I fried my backup card trying to test it. Oddly, the 32 meg Simple Tech CF card I was having problems with seems to have been unaffected.  My original problem, as I explained in a message to Mack at Times2Tech,  was as follows:

"I have a 200LX with 5 meg and a 32meg Simple Technology CF card and an 8meg PNY CF card. The 32 meg card is my primary card. I use the 8 meg as a backup. Lately, my 200LX has begun displaying a "card battery low" message intermittantly when the 32 meg card is inserted. To my knowledge there is no battery in a CF card. Today, I tried the built-in HP diagnostics and the card test failed for both cards. This wasn't a big surprise because I seem to remember reading that the test is only good for flash RAM cards and these are ATA. But still the problem remains. All the other diagnostics check OK. Is there some way you know of that I can troubleshoot the cause of my problem to the card or the HP? Just now the HP recognises the 32 meg card but gives the "card battery low" message but gives the "drive not ready" error when I try to look at the 8 meg card using Filer. This makes me suspect the HP."

For the record, this is NOT a doublespeed unit.

Agenda is a very powerful app. I actually bought a copy back in 1989 and used it for several years. It has a parsing engine that is remarkable. It also supports macros and scripts. In many ways it was smarter than me <g>. When Windows apps began to dominate the market I searched for a Windows program to replace it. I never found one that did everything Agenda could do. The closest runner-up was a program called ECCO Pro. At one time there was a very active Agenda Forum on Compuserve. I think its gone now. If you download Agenda from the Lotus site be sure to get the "2.B" version (or the patch for it). The way to tell is from the date stamp on the files. This incremental (and last) upgrade fixed numerous bugs which led to corrupted data files.

Would you be interested in buying my 100LX, perhaps for your wife?  If
not interested, could you ask around at DDN and see if anyone there
would be interested?  It was $200 new and the 6MB mem card for it was
around $250.  I'm taking any reasonable offers.  (Folks may be surprised
at how low I'll go on the price...)

CF cards use flash memory and are ATA cards AFAIK.
I'll send you a check for $5 for the PNY on the chance that
I can revive it.

Blast.  The trouble with text fields is that in the date format I'm
familiar with (MM-DD-YY) it doesn't index in date order, but in
"alphabetic" order, so to speak.

I guess I could change it around to be something like YYYYMMDD, but that
would be a little less convenient.

I think that pkzip -9 probably gets better compression than either. If all
you want is a backup then you may be able to cram it all in to 20MB. You can
also keep the pkunzip executable on the card for ready restores. This is how
I backup my 32MB partition to an old IBM 20MB card.

Subject:      OmniBook 800 and the Simple Tech Flash ... together at last
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

To all LX/Simple Tech card users with OB800 notebooks, I finally got my
Simple Tech 40mb flash and Simple Tech 16mb CF card talking to the OB800,
thanks to Bill Vickerman (on this list).

With most flash cards, no drivers are normally needed using the default
Win95 install on the OB800. Sundisk cards are correctly seen and registered
in the ControlPanel/DeviceManager/HardDiskControllers area as "Sundisk ATA
Flashdisk".

However, Simple Tech cards trigger the OB800 to install an additonal
"standard ide/esdi hard disk controller" driver (besides the one already
there for the hard disk). The new entry however, has an exclamation mark on
the icon and "properties/general/device_status gets the message "this
device is not present, not working properly......". This is how the entry
looks both before and after I reboot the system (just to make sure it
wasn't a hot-swap problem).

The Properties/Resource tab for the card's "standard ide/esdi hard disk
controller" entry shows "no conflicts", and resource_type are:
io range 0170-0177
io range 0376-0377
int req     09

The solution to make the card recognized is as follows (doing this in
ControlPanel/System/DeviceManager/HardDiskControllers/Properties/Resource
tab for the card):

- Uncheck "use automatic settings"

- Set "setting based on" field to "basic configuration 0004" (the default
was 0000 or 0001). This changes the "resouce settings" from two
Input/Output ranges to only one, and lets you modify it.

- Double click the Input/Output range and change the value from the default
"0000-000F" to "0110-011F", then OK.

- At this point, the Simple card is recognizable by Explorer. You probably
should reboot...never hurts.

After this is done, the card is hot-swappable (at least it hasn't locked up
my system yet).

Thanks again Bill and all who had suggestions to offer .... this is truly a
great list.

BTW.... as neat as the OB800 is to play with.....it is NOT an LX
replacement...it's my "LX Companion" <g>.

Alex, unless you need to make a fake drive letter E: in your
palmtop that echoes the A: drive, you should remove ASSIGN
from you AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

Assign takes up something like 4-6K as a TSR/driver and can
cause other problems so there is really no reason to use it.

If you really need the make a drive E:, then get the SUBST
command from a DOS 5 disk set.  SUBST does the exact same
thing, but without any RAM overhead or compatibility problems.

HP put ASSIGN in the default AUTOEXEC.BAT file some onscure
reason and, in hindsight, it was a bad idea.

Shame on you for not backing up.  If your information is
important enough to you, then make backups just as important.

I doubt that there was a hard error on your flash card.  It
could be that your ADB file was currupted and/or the Stacker
file system got hosed, and/or the underlying DOS file system
got hosed.

Run the Stacker CHECK A: /F utility to make sure Stacker is
not having a problem.

Reboot the palmtop so that Stacker does not load and run
CHKDSK A: /F  on the DOS file system underneath the Stacked
volume.  If this CHKDSK reports and fixes any errors, then you
will need to reboot normally and load Stacker again.

To check the Stacker file system, run their utility  CHECK A:
/F  which is Stacker's version of CHKDSK.  Then run  CHKDSK A:
/F again to make sure everything is fine at that level.

After all of this, then you should be confident that your
flash card is fine and the Stacker and DOS file systems are
intact.  The only thing left if the ADB file itself.  If
Garlic cannot fix it, then try ADBIO to see if that can
translate it into a CDF file.  Then try making a brand new ADB
file the CDF.

And don't fool around with low batteries.  The price of losing
data is much greater than the cost of a pair of batteries!
Never leave the palmtop alone for a long time after a low
battery warning.  Consider how much time (and therefore money)
it is going to cost you to recover this lost ADB if you even
can.  Now, how does that compare to the cost of a pair of
batteries and a few minutes per day to do a backup?

It is not that simple, Rod.  The reason why the palmtop stays
on while charging is because the CPU is busy monitoring the
charging cycle, not just because the timeout is infinitely
long.

In order to turn the palmtop off, charging must be stopped
first.  I know that the delay for the "Charging started" and
"charging stopped" messages is annoying, but it can be
shortcutted with the ESC key.

You can also stop charging by pulling out the AC adapter cord
from the palmtop.  Turn the palmtop off, swap cards and then
plug in the AC adapter again.  If charging is enabled, the
palmtop will turn itself back on and begin charging.

You should consider charging the palmtop overnight rather than
during the day while you are sitting at your desk with it.  Of
course, keep the palmtop plugged into the AC adapter while at
your desk so that you don't use the batteries, just don't
charge.

I expect that the HP CPACK200 is still available since HP is

Seems to be different on international (German) 200LXs.
I've tried different date formats in Setup (YY-MM-DD which is also
displayed as YY-MM-DD; DD.MM.YY; MM/DD/YY; DD/MM/YY) - no one worked.

The date field is of date-type, fist field in data base definition
and first in display. I've tried up and down sort.

The YY-MM-DD format at least 'works a little bit', so my guess is:

The natural form for Fast Find is 'YY-MM-DD'. Since this doesn't
work, I think Fast Find does not work on the international 200LX.

I should note to whomever, that the test generally does NOT permanently
kill the cards but it does wipe out their data, boot sector and
formatting information.  In other words the damage is generally not
physical but merely a loss of card format information.

The card can usually be resurrected by using the fdisk100 utility found
on the d: drive and then formatting the card.  Yes, both steps, Fdisk
and Format are required.

It=B4s more difficult than that. To send a byte to the serial port you
need to set several registers of the UART (a chip dedicated to serial
communications), and each register is at a dedicated port.

To ease the things, there are routines in the BIOS to send and receive a
character from the serial port. These have to be called by a software
interrupt, with specific values in the processor=B4s registers.

Most programming languages contain functions or libraries to handle
serial port communications, but I do not know PowerBASIC to tell how it
works there.

If you need more information, please e-mail me privately.

Subject:      Euro for LX, again.

        Hello all,

    It seems quite a few users start to care for new money EURO on
    the LX. Yes, it's sign should be available on the palmtop, too.

    This is not a perfect solution, but I repost it. If anyone has
    idea for TSR or other really good solution, please do it.
    However, I'm afraid that it's double horizontal lines cannot be
    reproduced within the limited resolution of the character cell.

    I've thought of using a character resembling "element of" symbol
    in set theory, that's <Alt238> in codepage 437.

    Not matching very well and according to IBM PC-DOS 5.00 manual
    it's in fact greek letter "eta". Of course, it only has one wide
    line in the middle. It look similar to the letter E in European
    Community Conform sticker "CE".

    (Fluff: possibly Mack should offer CGA ROM replacement, where Euro
    takes the place of either Yen or US dollars or UK pound sterling,
    at your wish. I'd say good ol' England will join monetary union
    before 2002, thus having no guineas won't be a long-term problem)

                   Sincerely yours: Tamas Feher.

That's exactly why I'd like a program that sees the OFF and ON
keystrokes, and turns charging off and on without giving the annoying
message.

This is what I currently do.

During the night, my palmtop is usually in a briefcase.  If I plugged
it in at home to charge, I'm sure that I'd forget to take it to work :-)

I've heard the new models perform terribly in the palmtop, just like the
Pretec cards-- they suffer from the bizarre "hold down a key" bug.  Excuse
me, "feature."  What that means is that ordinarily the card is extremely
slow-- taking up to 220 seconds to complete the batch-file copy benchmark
(which copies about a meg onto the card).  When you hold down a key while
doing it, though, it speeds up by at least 10x.  Reading is also slow when
not holding down a key, so speculations about light sleep mode and what
not are not for certain...

Anyway, I personally would avoid them, since they seem to no longer be
concerned about the 200LX.  They work quite well in an Omnibook or desktop
or another laptop, though.

Thanks Yuriy

If you can send the C version I would be most grateful.  I am forwarding
your message to the HPLX list so I would expect a few requests from them re
OEM patches.. Would you be able to enlighten us on the technical probs that
may be encountered?

The vendor says these are made by Sandisk (?) - at any rate, they have a
special for a 40 mb card for $126 + s/h, 7 day return NQA.

An unnamed member of this list sent me a personal email regarding the
following part of one of my messages here:

This person accused me of illegal and unethical practises after
reading the above paragraph.  Now I personally think he's completely
off his tree, but just to ensure that I don't inadventently get D&A
into trouble:

1/ Avi & I had discussions on the general question "Does my releasing
   freeware hurt your business?"  Avi said (and I hope he doesn't mind
   me paraphrasing what he said) that he has no problem with my
   releasing LXTCP & PNR.  I did this before releasing LXTCP to make
   sure that my actions would not harm a valued HP200LX company.
2/ I told him that I personally have no desire to write a Web client
   at the moment, and am more interested in raw-functionality tools as
   I described above.  He welcomed the fact that there was more than
   one internet email solution for the HP200LX, as that shows it's
   still a viable platform.
3/ D&A & I did *not* enter into any agreement (neither explicity or
   implied) about segmentation of the HP200LX market.  Anyone
   (including myself) is free to write and release a competing web
   client at any time.  I personally recommend buying WWW/LX if you
   can afford it, and Arachne if you can't.
4/ Anyone is free to take the LXTCP source code and do whatever they
   want with it (including making it into a commercial program and
   selling it) - as long as the source remains available to other
   developers to do the same.
5/ It is my *personal* decision not to intrude on the turf of D&A
   because of my *personal* respect for what they do and they way they
   run their business (not least the fact that they support freeware
   tools like PE).

Australians have a tradition which says "Give a bloke a fair go."  We
sometimes hold this tradition higher than what the unnamed person
called "an american's moral, where free enterprise is considered the
base of society".

Well, hey, for a 7 day return you can't go wrong, at that price.  Worth a
shot, and if it doesn't work at least you can help the rest of us out with

Here's a buying tip...

www.microwarehouse.com (where I bought my OB800) also has a bundle for $199
that includes a battery, a 56k modem and the car adapter.

It's actually not the greatest deal, but it may save someone some time and
shipping costs it anyone out there happened to be in the market for those
three items.

Just go to the site and search on "omnibook 800 bundle".

Please give us poor americans the benefit of the doubt. While it's true that
we have a bad problem over here with staggeringly ignorant people who don't
know what laws actually are, and carry some weird fantasies about what they
_think_ they are, it is _not_ universal.

If you were in the US, and you engaged in negotiations with another company
to collude to control the market and shut out competitors, and the Justice
Dept. got interested enough to launch a case against you, then yup, you might
have gotten in trouble. Of course none of the above come near applying. Even
if they did, despite what your unnamed member whined, "morals" don't come
into it --- antitrust legislation is some pretty amoral coercion by the
U.S. Govt., intended to try and undo some damage that had been done by some
other pretty amoral coercion in the form of granting exclusive franchises
to various companies to encourage them to develop major chunks of national
infrastructure.

Similar circumstances apply whenever _anything_ --- from individual
disagreement with the owner of a system to a disk crash --- messes up people's
email or netnews or whatever, some dink-brain will screech about the "first
amendment".

I think it's delightful that you took the trouble to reach out and chat with
D&A, to help make sure your development project doesn't seem like a direct
assault on their product.

How do you lucky guys type in the date? Say, if I want to go to Jan. 1, 1999,
do you type

01/01/99
01.01.99
01-01-99

or something else? None of them worked for me - it always goes to the last
record of the database, which happens to be today.

(yes, the Date field is the first column and it's labelled as "Date" on the
database screen)

Thanks.

See David I told you it works!
I just re-checked my Database and as "Field Type" Date is checked.

He was using a text field.  Seems that the only way to do fast-find is
with a text field.  But text fields don't sort right if they've got dates
in them-- 02/01/98 comes after 01/01/99, for instance.  I guess you could
format it to work, but it wouldn't be as elegant...

according to one of the wince sites, the Hayes Optima 56 is the lowest consumption at 131mA. Lower than some 14.4 and most 28.8! I am passively in the market, and have not found any here in Columbus, OH.

Don't know if you guys know, but Hayes just went out of business.  So
beware on this... they may be available through closeouts, but there's
probably no warranty.

Elegant? What's elegant? One man's elegant is ... hm, I can't find anywhere to
go with that:-).

Seriously, I am wildly fond of an ISO standard format: YYYY MM DD hh:mm:ss; I
join it with dashes so the resulting strings are single words, suitable for
use as filenames and all kinds of other wonderful purposes. Write it that way
and it's not ambiguous; people aren't gonna be confused about whether today's
date is Jan. 7 or Jul. 1, when _I_ write it. And alphabetical and
chronological order are the same.

Wish I could get the HP to use this exact format internally. Mostly I'm
annoyed by its insistance on 2-digit years. Hello? Anybody else planning on
continuing to use their HP over a year from now?

As I understand it, the 2-digit year is a limitation of Microsoft's DOS 5,
not HP.  Big Bill strikes again... <grin>

That would be nice.  If only it could be done by pressing FN-Date on the
palmtop.  <sigh>

I believe most of the apps use an "internal" format for date like this:

19990107

But of course date and time are separate "entities" so it's not quite as
nice as your favorite, the ISO standard.

David if you were to put in an extra field to sort on with macro to
copy/translate from your input the index would be as you want and speed
locate should work..  Messy and extra data but  would solve this challenge I
believe.

Hi David & List

Congrats on the 64MB  <envious smile>

I had Stacker 3.0 on my flash card that worked great under win3.11 and also
once I upgraded to win95 under old PCMCIA drivers.
Mainly for SCSI PC card support I installed WIN95 32 bit drivers for PC
slot.  After this my Win95 machine would not load stacker for my compressed
volume to be recognised.

Stac didnt seem to have a version to support Win AND DOS together that I
found.. Has this changed?

I have found JAM really reliable and had the advantage of Jamming my C:
easily as well as the card. Its "slightly better compression" than I got
with Stacker 3.0 too. Jmax util optimises the drives and recompresses.

I have JAM running under Win95 but dont know anyone else yet.  We have just
contacted one of the authors of JAM.SYS. It seems likely we will be able to
get some patches for win95 versions and/or reading on Win95/98 and maybe NT
if all goes well. Not "on the fly" writing under Win as I understand it..
This is livable for backups I feel.


I have just changed to JAR from ARJ software for backups.. There is an
incremental batch file included in the distribution.. Slower than Pkzip but
better compression than Pkzips best by 20% for me.  Compressing on a DS LX
is about 5 Meg/Hour.. incremental after that is a few minutes. Extraction is
slower too but not much difference than Zip. There is a 32 bit version that
I run on my Laptop..fast.. Get smaller archive files to keep on my LX for
reference.

Jar/Zip may be an option for you to consider instead.

JAM gives you a size option..  Set maybe 10 Meg of your card Jammed and 10
Meg uncompressed for file transfer until/if you get JAM solution for your
system.

Normal caution is needed as you get to full capacity of a compressed drive.
This is the only time I ever had trouble under Jam. Error catching is
finicky under these circumstances.

I hope this is all clear.. If you have any other questions I am happy to help..

Russell

Hi Phil

Firstly thanks for posting your startup files.  I got a few good ideas for
my own startup.

Please forgive my ignorance but by "installing" the above what is the
difference with device=?

I Noticed you have doublespeed driver so I presume an upgraded machine.. If
you install emm or Tremm and put the -e as a switch for maxdos the time for
swapping goes WAY down..For me from about 3 secs to less than half a second.

Pkzip works faster with EMS and Shez also.  Allows extra compression with
JAR..About 20% better compress than Pkzip -ex but takes a lot of time. I
compress using JAR on my Laptop and store/extract on Palmtop for little used
apps.

>autoexec.bat                  comments

>set path=c:\_dat;c:\_sys;c:\bin\pcplus;c:\;d:\\bin;d:\dos;

Is the double \\ above a typo or what reason?

How does Maxdos load/unload in this config?

Hope this benefits

Use a better ANSI driver. NANSI (Simtel), NNANSI (Simtel), or ZANSI
(SUPER?), are all pretty good, but I don't know which is best. They should
all, however, be faster and smaller than the default Microsoft ANSI.SYS.

Naturally, as you don't use ANSI often, this isn't very important.

Although I'm nit-picking now, these three lines:

> copy con bootdesc.doc
> if exist bootdesc.doc type bootdesc.doc>>bootlog.doc
> if exist bootdesc.doc del bootdesc.doc>NUL

Could be replaced with a single:

type con >> bootlog.doc


As far as I can see, it offers exactly the same funtionality. Someone
please correct me if I've missed something.

That's about it.


Cheers,

Laust

Might have to do with the fact that after the second try at chapter

Well, the BMO page seems to be back with only very minor changes, so the Web currency converter macro generator is back on track.

Folks had asked about how to add the Euro to the currency calculator. My suggestion: go to palmtop.net and have a custom set made. Download the MONEY.MAC file to your palmtop, follow the instructions, and in a minute you'll have not only a Euro entry, but updated exchange rates, too.

Sorry, we can't help with the Euro font problem :-(

Stacker is more bulletproof, especially if yu want
to do multiple platforms.

Jam seems to work, but some have reported problems
with CAROUSEL.

Flashes are cheep, yu can use 96MB and have extra
room.  The idea is not to stack unless yu need to
as it adds an extra layer of complexity.  KISS.

Help.  Both my wife and I are noting occasional file corruption on our HP

Hiya Charles! I'm sorry 'bout your corrupt file and if I knew how to help
I would gladly share any insight I might have with you, but
unfortunately, I don't have an answer :( I did, however, thought you
might like to know that your email client is adding a neasty binary
attachemnt to your outgoing email. This is not meant as a flame, merely
as a FWIW. Good luck with your file woes!

Curious about the email attachment you referred to.  I got a copy of my own
email and found no attachment and haven't heard the comment from anyone
else.  HOWEVER, I have noted the same in emails sent to me.  Any ideas as
to whether it's the sender or the receiver, or the compatability of client
servers?

It's a winmail.dat attachment. I don't use Windows, so I'm not sure which
client attaches it. I have seen it before on email from other people,
yours just caught my eye because the attachment was bigger than your
message. I also occasionally see a vcard.dcf (is that the correct
filename) attached to some email messages. I don't know why some clients
add these attachemnts :(

To Rod and the rest of the list,

I need to extend my apologies as I feel my comments may have inadvertently
lead to this craziness :

Rod- you are pumping out awesome freeware applications so that us LXers
have "down and dirty" tools to network with.  D&A's suite is remarkably
well  done from the demonstration trail software i have had the chance
to try out.  what you are creating and what d&a have created are totally
different things, and as soon as i get a paycheck i plan to have both
sets of utilities runnning together.

i can't believe anyone would seriously have a problem with your
statements.. there's nothing i can say, it leaves me speechless :

soon i will have the resources availale tp me to properly support
my LX "addiction" with accesoriesand applications et al.  but even
once i start buying software, lxtcp + PNR will _ALWAYS_ be on my
200, because it's just perfect for what i need to get done.

i hope software developers, especially those for the hplx's will never
get discouraged by people who make poor comments, i mean, we already
have to contend with the rest of the world that DOS isn't dead, we
shouldn't bicker amongst ourselves..

so let's all get together and have a party :

That "charging stopped or started" message comes from the BIOS
and it seems that it may be impossible to get rid of it.

Set an alarm to go off just before you are ready to leave for

Hi David and List

I have tried an idea that seems to work and speed locate as well.

What I did was take Davids requirement of Date input and need for speed
locate and solution of Text field indexing correctly..

First column is Date in whatever format you want (speed locate works on this).
An extra field set as TEXT called Datesort is needed (Sort field).

Enter Date and data and whenever complete run a Macro that..
Goes into Setup..dateformat and changes format to YY-MM-DD
Goes back into Notetaker/DB etc and copies from Date to Datesort field
within the record.
Return Setup to Original Format..eg MM/DD/YY (This causes date to be as you
want but Datesort stays as YYYY-MM-DD (Sorts Correctly)

The Sort option I set to Datesort field (Required) with second sort on Alpha
(Option)

Speed locate works only if sorted on Datesort Text field..didnt work when
sorting on Date only.

Dates tried ..

MM/DD/YY
02/28/81
09/27/83
04/04/92
04/04/92
05/07/95
01/02/96
03/27/97
06/08/98
06/21/98
01/08/99
01/08/99
01/08/99
06/08/99
09/27/61 (2061)

The above is listed as sorted in HPLX
I also tried invalid dates. This caused the record to be positioned as the
first entry in the list. Re-entered date correctly and re ran Macro.  All ok.

I trust this does what was asked for.   Anybody have a better solution?
Comments?

Subscriber Comments: Hi people.

My name is Jin.

I'm korean. sorry for my poor english

I have leared many from your mail-list all the time.
Thanks a lot to everybody.

now, I want to use my own Visual basic programs of Desktop PC  on 200lx

I tried to convert vb6.0 source to q-basic code. but not easy.
so I am going to get windows 3.0 (real mode) and setup visual basic 3.0 =
on flash card.

but i don't heard about it.
is it possible?

I have 2M ram and double speed.

I wonder

     1. how many memory needed (win 3.0 + vb3.0)
     2. how about speed? (usable?)
     3. Do win3.0 and vb3.0 support CGA of 200lx ?
     4. How big size of files when win3.0 + vb3.0 setup
     5. If impossible , whatis another choice?


thak you for reading.
have a nice day. bye.

Subject:      Laplink problems
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain

Greetings all,

I finally had occasion to run Lablink to a DOS PC, and after getting
the correct ports, baud rate, etc., Laplink did nothing.  I have gotten
the connection to work with Transfile Win, so I know the cable and
general communications on the LX200 works ok.  I also have used
the PC's Laplink with another PC.  What should I do next?

Second, I went looking around on D:\BIN at the LLRA stuff, and ran
the BAT file by mistake.  Then when I tried to use Laplink again, I
got the messge:

        Path to TSI.INI file is not correct for server.  Terminate
        system manager, unload LLRA TSRs, run LLRAS, and
        restart the computer.

I know how to terminate the system manager, but I don't know how
to unload tsr's.  Is there a utility on the HP200LX to do this, or do
I need another?  I think I can restart the computer ("200" at the
DOS command line, I believe).

Thanks very much for whatever help might be given.  Please reply by
e-mail, because I only get the list discussion in digest form, and I'd like
to clear this up by the weekend if possible.

This aroused my curiosity.. Is there a key sequence to access/change the
BIOS like desk/Laptops? Or is it in ROM?

Install is another way to place a TSR that sometimes reduces the amount

I only use Maxdos from the System Manager, so it "runs" as a child of
200.  The IPEx driver lnload is to free up a bit of RAM when the App
Manager is terminated.  To restart the App Manager I type 'autoexec 200'
and an if statement skips reloading the existing TSRs.

I have a nice tag thing that I assume was once hanging out of some sort
of air intake of an airplane.   When my palmtop is "misplaced" I hang
the tag on my front door.  When I get ready to leave, I put the tag in
the palmtop's normal hiding place.

I tried to use install, and it errors out. Is install a COM file or something?
it does not seem to be part of the files as loaded on my 200LX or a command
understood by COMMAND

Install does not work with all programs.  Install only works in the
config.sys file.  Install is an "internal" command.  The excerpts from
my config.sys are working right now.

Do not use an "=" (equal sign) to delimit install from the command line
of the program you are trying to load.

Before you load something with install, load it normally and use 'mem
/d|more' to see what memory the program uses, then try installing it and
use mem again to see what savings (if any) it makes.

Good luck!

LLRA is not LapLink.  It is LapLink Remote Access.  This is very different
stuff from the same company.

There was a note posted in the CompuServe HPHand forum telling you how to
make use of the programs provided on the palmtop's D: drive instead of
having to go out and buy the HP Connectivity Pack or Commworks for Windows
to get LapLink Remote Access.

I don't want to spend the bytes for everybody on this list, so If you're not
a CompuServe subscriber, you can get it from this link:

http://web.raex.com/~striegel/HPLX/LLRA.TXT

On my laptop, I run LLRA under Windows 95 rather than Transfile Win to
perform all my backups.

Aside from the power consumption so critical to the LX, are there any
recommendations (or
warnings) about 56k PC card modems.   Our company is about to upgrade their
dial-in service
and I plan to buy modems for our team before the rush.  There are very many,
but I'm sure there
are good ones and bad.

These will mostly be used in laptops, Psion 5 or CE systems so it's not
limited to 150mA ; but of course if one can have good modem and low
consumption that all helps.

Hi Charles,

I have had the same problem with my phone book corrupting, and noticed that
it happens under two circumstances:

1.  Battery low/failure imminent.  When my battery indicator comes on, I
quickly close all my applications, especially the phone book because if the
200LX dies with it open, it's corrupted.  Garlic doesn't seem to be able to
fix it.  I've been burned on this one several times.

2.  Someone once showed me that you can get into a diagnostic mode by
powering on the 200LX while holding the escape key.  Well, I used to do this
to check the battery level, but noticed that it also corrupted my phone
database if it was open at the time.  I suspect this would also happen if
you re-boot with a ctl-alt-del.

After having been frustrated with losing phone entries due to the two
circumstances indicated above, I now do the following.  First, I don't use
the diag mode.  Second,  I back up my c:_dat directory to my flash card as
well as an  occasional backup to my laptop (using serial cable with
transfile).  I used to do a backup every time I made a new phone entry, but
I recently wrote a macro which wakes up at midnight, checks for modified
files in c:_dat, and copies them to the A drive.  Interestingly enough, I've
never had my appt book get corrupted, even when I've left it open under the
above circumstances.  Go figure.

Hope this helps,

Paul Fig

Just received this card, and copied my c:\ files over to test - about 2 mb
worth, took about 20 seconds.  Appears to read well.

What test would be more definitive to determine read/write times?  The
wrapping advertises, "Guaranteed 100% compatible with your Handheld PC,
Palm PC, and Digital Camera", "Low Power Consumption", etc., etc., and
"Designed for Microsoft Windows CE" (which *really* sold it for me <g>).  I
have 7 days to return this card, so please let me know how I can test it.

In case anyone is interested, their number is:

800.272.6242

The cat. no. is FL40MATS, the total charge, with UPS ground, was $143.40
(with sales tax).

I have no vested interest in MagicRAM, was just shopping via HotBot and
came up with this one.

Yes, I have had a problem with my Phone database also.  Every once in a
while (two or three times a year) it suddenly has it's entries out of
alphabetical order in a weird way.  I find an entry in the wrong sorted
place, but if I look at where it is supposed to fall in the sort, it is
there also.  If I delete one, the other goes away also.  So it is
actually showing me an entry twice, but only one really exhists.  The
only way I have found around it is to go to a backed up good copy and
rebuild any changes before I delete the corrupted one.  I now have my
palmtop backup certain files, phone database files included, every night
to another directory within the palmtop itself, not to another drive.
If I then find the database corrupted, I have the day before's copy to
check for a quick fix.  Otherwise, I have to go back a few days\weeks to
my full palmtop backups on another full size PC.  Once, I did not find
the corruption for a long time, and once found, I had to go back about 3
full backups on the PC to find a non-corruped version to rebuild.  Now I
keep all my full backups on disk, as opposed to rotating two or three
copies.  Like 6 megs every few weeks is going to fill up a multi-gig
hard disk much.  It is better protection than the cost of the hard disks
now days.

Alan,

Thanks for the tip. I went there and the installation went exactly as told on the web page. Do you install these as a driver upon boot of win95, or are you able to install them in a dos window and transfer as needed. I tried to set all the files' properties as do not let them know it is running windows, but they still give me an error that will not allow them to run under windows. I have been able to boot to dos then install them and all is fine. It is very slow using explorer to transfer files, but it is fine under dos.

That lxmdrv.sys sounds rather interesting. I've tried every driver I could
to get my two 4meg linear-flash card to work, but nothing worked for me up
to now.

If you'd send me this driver, I'd be very grateful.

A while back I was looking for a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocoll.
And now D&A has made one!
Its strange that they keep so quiet when they make great stuff.
I did not find it on the homepage, just on SUPER.

Now I can get on a our BIG network without being afraid of stealing
someones elses IP adress.

Today I surfed the net with www/lx and my Accton card.
Cool to have this little "surf machine" that I can plug in anywhere I
go.
It eeven got through our firewall.

Im not sure on how to get through the firewall to access other stuff
like a outside mailserver or use ftp.
Is there a whay to do that without having to ask the administrator.
My little project is not appreciated. They are very protective, and
dont like that I do what I do (with the network that is)

I recently sent my 160MB Simple Tech card back for warranty replacement,
adn the new card they sent appears to be a new model: it's lighter,
thinner, and has no power-on delay like the old one did.  Just thought I'd
mention this, as I now understand all the confusion people have been
showing when I talk about the power-on delay with the Simple Tech card.
It's because it doesn't exist in the new models.

Hi gang! I have another victory for my 200LX to report to the list. Tonight
I successfully passed a CW test! For the non-hams on the list, that's morse
code. I have upgraded my amateur radio license to Technician Plus and soon
hope to upgrade to General class. I taught myself CW by using Super Morse

Well, the reason he's not giving himself credit is that he brought his LX
to the test and cheated.  ADMIT IT, JEFF!

Phil,

I use "::" instead of "rem" in the autoexec.bat file. This results in the
line not being displayed nor read. The line is simply skipped and results
in faster processing of the file.

Sincerely,

There is a designer program for printer drivers (printer.exe). It would be

Just a quick FYI for those of you thinking about upgrading to a faster

I called Mobile Planet last night, and the Apex Rapid Transit 56 kbps
PCMCIA modem has dropped in price to $129.

The model # is MP520401
The phone number is 1-800-mplanet

Have fun!!!

Mike

P.S. A work associate uses this modem in his 200LX, and it works great.

with Log-TR for many of them. Even operated the WPX contest from UK with the
200!
Hope QSO sometime...GL
BTW, check out the QRP-L reflector for a great bunch of guys and EXCELLENT info

The parts from Digi-key produce a serviceable connector but are not an exact
duplicate of the HP part. I do not recommend attempting to make a connector
unless you already have an HP cable available for comparison.

The parts you need are:

H2004-ND Hirose Electric Co., A3B series 10-pin, dual-row, 2mm connector,
quantity 1
H9999-ND socket terminals, quantity 100

I recommend buying 10 of the H2004-ND connector bodies to match the
terminals which come in a pack of 100. You WILL spoil a lot of the parts!

You will also need a crimper to attach the socket terminals to your wire
ends. I use a Radio Shack D-sub pin crimper 276-1595.

Notes: Assembling the connector is an EXTREMELY delicate and tedious task. I
usually have to start over a couple times before I get it right. The Radio
Shack crimper is sized for these terminals, but you have to be careful to
get the crimps right -- it's easy to be too loose or to overcrimp and break
the wires. Once I get everything wired up correctly, I use a bit of 5-minute
epoxy to reinforce the wires and to provide strain relief. Once the epoxy
has cured I use heat-shrink tubing on the cable to protect the wires (This
piece of tubing in slipped on the cable before the connector is assembled).
A bit of plastic or matchstick is then glued onto the connector body for an
alignment key and then a second layer of shrink wrap is applied the entire
assembly to produce a pseudo-hood.

I've assembled a few of these to make custom cables for my GPS and for
spares. Once you've made a couple I think you'll agree that the
commercially-available cables are a bargain, unless you need a special
configuration.

Have fun, don't drink a lot of caffeine before you start the project, and
keep loved ones out of the area in case your frustrations turn to violence!

Well, maybe the firewall was put up to stop services like that so people
won't ftp in and steal all of your company information and/or take all your
business computers offline.

You mean your systems guys don't appreciate you putting their jobs on the
line doing personal stuff?
I can't imagine !!!
You want to get around a firewall? Use a MODEM on your own time on your own
phone line!!!!

I'm using several editors, depending on what I'm doing. I use the builtin
Memo for some things, I use PE for some things, but I'm increasingly using the
MS-DOS port of Jove (Jonathan's Own Version of Emacs), from
<URL:ftp://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/moraes/jove/jove416x.zip>.

It's a plain MS-DOS program, no LX customizations at all, no where nearly as
nicely tuned for the platform as PE or Freyja, but it is just so nice having
precisely the same text editor as I've been using for 15 years on desktops. I
use Jove on Suns, I use it on Linux, and I use it with equal glee on the LX.

Subject:  Flash cards...




I recently sent my 160MB Simple Tech card back for warranty replacement,
adn the new card they sent appears to be a new model: it's lighter,
thinner, and has no power-on delay like the old one did.  Just thought I'd
mention this, as I now understand all the confusion people have been
showing when I talk about the power-on delay with the Simple Tech card.
It's because it doesn't exist in the new models.

No, there are no CMOS settings in the 100/200LX like in a

Subject:      56k modems
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

I just came across a 56k PC Card modem from Viking.  There is
a special version of it that is low power for HPC's, Psion,
Newton and 200LX!  It is also cel phone compatable and
includes a cable!  And the price is only about $125 at
CompUSA!

I know this sounds too good to be true, but I have it and am
still trying to find out if this modem is all that it is
claimed.  Tech Support says it needs 175 ma but that is works
in the 200LX.  I can't get a straight answer even from level 2
tech support.  When I try it in the palmtop, it works.  But it
seems to suck down my tired old rechargeables rather fast.

The model number RFM56KWINCE.  Check out their web site
www.vikingcomponents.com.

Viking also has a 33.6 modem that says for certain is draws
144 ma (which would be perfect for the palmtop) and the 33.6
(although it does not advertise it) is also cel compatable,
but the cable is not included so it is a $60 accessory.  But
the people at SupplyNet who sell the cel cables say the 33.6
is not compatable with my cel phone (the Motorola SC-725).

So, my head is still spinning trying to figure this all out
and I have 10 days to return the modem to CompUSA.  If anyone
has any expeciencewith this thing, please feel free to share
it with us.

There are also PC Card cel compatable modems from EXP,
3COM/Mhz, TDK, and others, but I am having a hard time
determining the power consumption of these.

Hi Stanley,
     I have a 56K viking modem that I got at CompUSA. I don't know if it

is the same one, but it does not work in the HP200 when the HP is
running on
batteries anyway. I don't have an AC adapter for the HP to try that.
I don't see a model # on this one, but there is an FCC ID number on the
back if that would help.  Maybe there is a lower powered version.

Subject:      Lotus Agenda again

        Hello all,

    I see, Lotus Agenda discussion has resurfaced. Do you know, how
    could one contact IBM to get a better understanding/insight of
    the "Lotus Agenda version 1.x/2.x is NOT Year 2000 compliant"
    declaration? Their Y2K site is done in a weird manner.

    (Will Agenda instruct you to visit boss' grave and not to forget
    taking some flowers, if you enter a meeting for early January of
    2000 back in 1999? Or the program refuses to work, realizing that
    new millenium means end of world; he wants peace before judgement?
    It's an AI anyhow, so you can't be sure...)

    I hope, some workaround, with smaller or even considerable
    annoyances could be found. It's a big shame to dispose of
    this gem for such a stupid reason, like Y2K!

    BTW, anyone is free to go muslim calendar, if nothing else can
    help. Do you know of HPLX users doing it (possibly in Arab /
    Central Asian countries)?

                Sincerely: Tamas Feher.

To those of you with OB800's and the Accton EN2216 ethernet card...if you've
gotten the two of them working together, I'd appreciate some tips (please email
off-list).

In fact, if anyone has a PCMCIA LAN card working in the OB800, I'd appreciate it
if you can drop me a line.

LAN and "network" are fast becoming my new four-letter words <g>.

I bought the Accton for both my LX and my OB800, but my first priority is to get
it to work on the OB. I'd go into details on the problems, but I'll spare the
non-OB'ers and non-Accton users the dirty details (not to mention the
bandwidth), at least till I narrow the scope of the problem. Thanks to all.

Geez, yet another VI advocate ;-)


As for JOVE, I use it sometimes on the local UNIX (HP/UX) system, when I
just can't be bothered to start up EMACS (on a bust day, anything large
(and that is EMACS in its current state) takes ages...)

On the LX, I prefer Freyja or PE. Mostly PE lately, because it has some
neat features I don't think Freyja has (running a selected piece of text
through a DOS program (filter) and then replacing the original text with
it). Of course, Freyja has the advantage of being System Manager
compliant, if you're the UNIXy type and do a lot of stuff in SysMgr (I
don't) then that's a must.

How fast does JOVE run on the LX?



Cheers,

Laust

Yes, some editors have this (including elvis, the ":!{something}"
command, I forget), but almost all of them do it on a line-based basis,
whereas PE is character based (ie I can select from the middle of a line
to the middle of the next, I don't need to select whole lines). The
difference is slight I agree, but very useful if you, like me, write HTML
on the palmtop. For instance, I have a macro on the LX that will prepend
and append a selected piece of text with an HTML tag.

For instance, if I have the following line:

These three words should be written in italic.

and want to place the first three words in italics, I would select them,
and then run my macro with the "<I>" argument. It would then place "<I>"
before the selection and "</I>" after it (what PE really does is save the
selection to a temporary file and then call a small filter I made, which
will place "<I>" and "</I>" before and after its argument (a file) with
the tempoary file). Phew. hope that made sense...

It's is a small difference, but sometimes the limit imposed by only being
able to select lines is very annoying.

The comment about VI users was a joke (because I know there are so many on
the list :-), hence the smiley. I've nothing against VI itself - I use
many of its commands daily when I use "less" or similar UNIX utilities
which contain a subset of VI's command set.

Hi Laust,

I also do a lot of HTML coding on my palmtop.

Boy! and sure would like a copy of this macro and some setup instruction
on how to install/use it.

BTW: Right now I'm using PE. Memo and DOCHTML.

There is an ANSI driver on the SUPER site that will let you load and
unload the driver as necessary.  This will let you load in the driver as
part of a batch file, then unload it after you're done using the program.
The only program I run that requires ANSI is GNU chess, so I don't want
the standard ANSI.SYS taking up memory when I'm not playing games.

Your discussion of text editors is similar to a word perfect/ms word
discussion I heard years ago. I think the best editor is the one you
know best that can get the job done.

Having said that, I've used see.exe for 12 years now, which is an
editor with "lotus like" menus. I'm wondering if anyone else uses it,
and if there is a later version.

BTW, in Post/LX I've just installed PE with spell check, and it's nice,
having the look and feel of the SMC apps.


Have fun! Mike...

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

I have recently started using a new 1900MHZ PCS GSM cell phone that has
an integrated data/fax modem. It is a Sagem CS755. It connects to the
palmtop via serial cable (included with the phone) and communicates
with any comms program using standard AT commands. All I had to do was
connect the Sagem cable to the HP serial cable with an intermediate
null modem connector and adjust the comms parameters on both sides to
match. I have used the phone with both WWW/LX and AcCis 3.1. The Sagem
manual states a current draw of 5 mA from a serial port due to some
electronics in the cable.

The URL for information is:

http://www.sagem.com/en/produit-en/produit-en.htm

and select PCS from the frame menu on the LHS. The image on the page
does not work but I have an image I will upload to my webpages soon.
The URL will be:

http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Gary_Spiers/Sagem.htm

but don't try looking for at least a day<G>. I will also put more
information about the phone there.

Freyja is an .EXM program?

I wonder why people perceive .EXMs to be an advantage. You
can write only fairly small programs (i.e. limited
function), and with SC and nice storages in C: drive you
can so easily make room for programs like PE and SPF/PC
etc.

I am just curious about the "advantage" of .EXM programs...
Don't misunderstand, I am not trying to push PE
necessarily, even though I like it and use in preference to
Memo.

My service provider is Powertel but any 1900MHz PCS service should work
(to the best of my knowledge). Of course if the provider does not have
a data option then nothing will work;-)

I think Sagem has phones for other US network types at the web site URL I
posted previously but I was not looking for them and so did not check
out that portion of their site.

Freyja comes in several flavours. DOS and EXM versions for both the 95LX
and x00LX. Has a PC version too.

True, but if you don't have SC, then EXMs provide you with yet another App
to run from the SysMgr, while not taking up the DOS slot.

As for PE vs. Freyja (which is not what you asked, I know), it depends on
what you want, really. Both are very competent editors, while Freyja is
more like UNIX EMACS than PE, for better or worse...

Both are free... :-)

Thanks, Bryan.  You may have the regular 56K PC Card modem
from Viking that is not the low power version designed for the
WinCE machines that I bought.

Since my Viking works in the palmtop on batteries and yours
doesn't, that is encouraging to think that mine really may be
lower power than the regular one.  Even though Level 2 Tech
Support says is needs 175 ma which should not work.

Thanks for the warning.  I was very careful when I tried it
the PC Card modem in the palmtop.  Only for a few minutes.
But I am worried about the very trouble you had.  Viking says
it is 175 ma, but that it works in the palmtop.  That
contradiction worries me a great deal.

It looks like I may have to play it safe but expensive: get
the 33.6 Viking modem for $99 and then buy the separate cable
for $60.  But the cable people say only the 56K works with my
cel phone.  Darn - why can't I get a straight answer from
anyone?

I'm confused. Are you talking about the built-in Database in a
200LX or 100LX? If a 200LX, does anyone know if the database
works like the one in the 100LX?

I have a 100LX (US English) and I have a database for tracking
Frequent Flyer miles. The first field is the Date of the
flight. The type of this field is DATE. I have my system setup
so dates appear as 01/10/99. The database sorts correctly and I
can use FIND to locate any record by simply typing in its date
in the same format as is used by the system, 01/10/99 for
example. (The search will fail if I put quotes around the
date.)

You said your first field was labeled Date, but did you check
the filed to make sure the type is DATE?

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

I was just sitting here pondering the fact that in 1999 we'll see 640MB
flash cards, and in 2000 the advent of 1GB flash cards, and a thought
struck me.  I remember with older computers (early 486's and before) the
hard drive was represented in the BIOS via a straight CHS
(cylinder-head-sector) representation.  Unfortunately, this limited the
drive to something like 528MB, and so LBA (logical block addressing) was
implemented to overcome this.

So... I'm wondering if this particular problem will show up on the 200LX.
Will it be able to see flash cards >528MB?  I can't imagine that the
designers of the 200LX would have ever expected the machine to be
presented with such a large card, so I'm a bit nervous, and yet the 200LX
is a pretty robust machine, so...

Anybody have any information or ideas?

Laurence, if you put the cursor on a repeating appointment and
then use the Menu Edit Restore ..., it will pop up with a
range of dates to enter.  Press F1 at this point for an
explanation of what this feature does.

Apparently, it will add back in repeated appointments that you
have deleted.  Suppose, you have repeating ppointment for a
meeting every Monday at 10am for 1 year and you delete two of
them in August because you were away on holiday.  Use Menu
Edit Restore... to put those two appointments back in.

I don't know why anyone would need this.

FIND (by pressing F4) works fine for all fields, but we meant Quick Find
(where you just start typing at the database screen and it locates
matching records).

The only advantages EXM program have that I can think of off the top
of my head are:

1) Speed-- you can get into them faster than you can switch to a new SC
work area, even on the fastest machien

2) Copy and paste.

Send to them a letter with a copy of the HP User Manual
page re power consumption. And ask if their modem will work
without causing problems. If they reply in writing that it
is ok, or refer to other written material from them that
says it is ok, then they are on the hook if any damage
occurs to your palmtop, since they basically warranty your
palmtop's health with thier modem <G>...

I suppose so, probably 0.25 seconds advatage. If you do it
every 10 minutes in a 10 hour day you save a grand total of
lessee here .... 0.25 x 6 x 10 = 15 seconds per day, not
bad. (Not really good or significant in the cosmic sense,

I use PE in one SC Workarea, Post/LX in another, and a .GDB
in a third. I process orders on the palmtop and copy and
paste using CLIPVUE from the SUPER page. Works like a
charm.

It's a psychological thing.  If I have to wait 0.25 extra seconds for
something, I might just not do it.  "You need that status report this
afternoon, boss?  Well... I could do it in PE... but that would mean an
extra wait for SC to switch... I'll just put it off until tomorrow."  BAM!
There goes my job.  YOU SEE THE DILEMMA?  <g>  (I'm not being silly at

But then don't you have to save to a file from the other programs?  Not
quite "copy and paste," but it works.

Vic, all of the apps in the 200LX are at least the same as the
100LX.  The 200 adds a few extra features that are nice, but
do not substantially change the application.  They are mostly
cosmetic.

I'd say that the major advantage is that, for many of us, we can't afford
software carousel and palmtops with lots of RAM.  Therefore a program that
can multitask and takes minimal resources is a great advantage.  Without SC,
only one DOS app can be run at a time... :-(

Has anyone used DOS based programs for
file transfers PC <-> HPLX.  If so what has been
the most successful?  Anyone used Interlink supplied
with DOS 6.2

I use Tranfile with no problems, but the thought of
file transfers at 115K tempts me away.  I tried
using a program called Maven with no luck
getting the connection working.

I have been approached by a friend to buy my 200LX 32mb.
Books
AC adapter
Serial cable
Misc. software
Still in warranty and great condition. My question is what would be a fair
price for the package?
Any opinions would be gratefully appreciated

David,

IMO the single most important feature of the EXM is its ability to allow a
measure of 'multi-tasking' within the System Manager environment. When the
Sysman code was written there probably weren't as many refinements and great
utilities for using DOS programs on the LX as there are today. Without the
EXM you wouldn't be able to check that database then switch over to your
phonebook then pop into 123 - you'd have to shut one down before starting
another. Although the EXM may be limited, i've seen quite a few powerful EXM
programs - MiniFax for example (a great fax program that is bundled with the
EXP Thinfax cards) boasts a reasonable level of functionality. Plus their
memory overhead seems to be quite frugal.

I've even found some of them to be a bit more stable than their DOS
counterparts (when last have you seen Memo lockup your LX? <g>)...

That speed difference goes up dramtically if you consider having to close
database apps prior to switching to avoid possible corruption during a
lockup when using SC.

I've used Interlnk (and also Datacomm/Hyperterminal and Transfile), each
has its own advantages. If you want 115k xfer speed, you may not get it
with Interlnk as it seems to go into "variable" speed mode using the serial
port (vs "turbo" mode thru the parallel port). This is with the DOS 6.2
version of Interlnk.

The built-in Laplink seems to run faster than Interlnk, but requires that
you run a TSR before using it, which adds to the RAM-cram...but may not
be too bad depending on your needs.

Several people on the list use ZIP from the SUPER site, but I don't know
much about that one.

I don't install any of the LapLink Remote Access programs on the Windows 95
system to load at boot time.  There is a shortcut on my desktop that calls
LLRAWIN.BAT and has the properties set up such that it will "Prevent
MS-DOS-based programs from detecting Windows".  That LLRAWIN.BAT batch file
contains only the following single line:

command /k llra.bat

It runs just fine in a window and I use XtreeGold Version 2.5 for all my

As Systems Administrator, I know what my responsibility is. I make sure
nobody gets in without permission no matter what. The problem with your
little theory is that if an employee finds a hole, you are assuming they're
going to come to you and tell all about it. My experience not only as
sysadmin but as an employee is if they find a hole, they will hide it from
you as long as they can. Oh you'll find out about it --- but only after
something breaks.

Sounds like you have a wonderful life, and it must be nice to have all your
co-workers looking out for you. I don't have it so lucky.

My response is my own, which comes from too many early morning sessions.
I've had servers unplugged, wiring closets re-arranged, and computers
intentionally broken all because employees couldn't get through our firewall
to download the screensaver of the month. They aren't small children,
they're large children with bad attitudes. And as far as proper systems
maintenance goes, I'll put my abilities up against anyone, anytime.

Where do I come from? I'm the guy responsible for our equipment, and I'm the
guy that answers the phone when something breaks. If it breaks due to a
legitimate failure, I'll gladly take the call day or night. If you get mad
and kick your computer and it breaks, I could care less.

Does this sound that strange to you?  I've owned a few 100's and 200LX =
and have
moved on to other units with technology changes.  What I have found, =
believe it
or not, is that the 200LX's were simple, fast, accurate and did the job! =
 I
just have not felt as organized ever since.

My 620LX is in good condition.  Some very minor case scrathes from normal =
wear
and tear, but aside from that its in excellent condition.  It does not =
come
with a manual, its in PDF format at the HP website.  It does come with =
the
HP620LX CD and the Winservices CD as well as the docking cradle, one =
stylus,
and an ac adapter.

If you have a 200LX, its need to be a 200LX 2 meg model or more.  It need =
to
have the TimesTwo speed upgrade and timing driver supplied.  PC connectivi=
ty
software and cable is a must as is an AC adapter.  The unit must be =
immaculate.
 These are my minimum standards.  I'll consider each trade possibility on =
a
case by case basis, not that I'm picky, but depending on what is offered =
I
might settle for less or more, I just don't know.

If you have questions, I can be reached at callerym@aol.com

I know this guy whose neighbor, a young man, was home
recovering from having been served a rat in his bucket of Kentucky
Fried Chicken. So anyway, one day he went to sleep and when he
awoke he was in his bathtub and it was full of ice and he was sore
all over.  When he got out of the tub he realized that HIS KIDNEYS
HAD BEEN STOLEN and he saw a note on his mirror that said
"Call 911!"  But he was afraid to use his  phone because it was
connected to his computer, and there was a virus on his computer
that would destroy his hard drive if he opened an e-mail entitled
"Join the crew!"  He knew it wasn't a hoax because he himself was
a computer programmer who was working on software to save us
from Armageddon when the year 2000 rolls around.  His program
will prevent a global disaster in which all the computers get
together and distribute the $600 Nieman Marcus cookie recipe
under the leadership of Bill Gates. (It's true-I read it all last week in
a mass e-mail from BILL GATES HIMSELF, who was also
promising me a free Disneyworld vacation and $5,000 if I would
forward the e-mail to everyone I know.)  The poor man then tried to
call 911 from a pay phone to report his missing kidneys, but
reaching into the coin-return slot he got jabbed with an HIV-infected
needle around which was wrapped a note that said, "Welcome to
the world of AIDS." Luckily he was only a few blocks from the
hospital-the one, actually, where that little boy who is dying of
cancer is, the one whose last wish is for everyone in the world to
send him an e-mail and the American Cancer Society has agreed
to pay him a nickel for every e-mail he receives.  I sent him two e-
mails and one of them was a bunch of x's and o's in the shape of
an angel (if you get it and forward it to twenty people you will have
good luck but ten people you will only have ok luck and if you send
it to less than ten people you will have BAD LUCK FOR SEVEN
YEARS). So anyway the poor guy tried to drive himself to the
hospital, but on the way he noticed another car driving along
without his lights on.  To be helpful, he flashed his lights at him and
was promptly shot as part of a gang initiation. And it's a little-
known fact that the Y1K problem caused the Dark Ages.

THIS was from someone that calls themselves a "Systems Consultant"? I
surely wouldn't pay any money to someone as ill informed as that.

Don't worry!
You didn't "break through" your firewall. That simply doesn't happen with
something as simple as http (port 80) traffic. - if you get through it's
because they let you.
From what I hear, there's no reason for anyone to worry about what you do.
I would have been more surprised if sendmail had worked!
Usually mailserver access (POP3) is shut down by the firewall. Use a
web-based mail service like Hotmail and forward your private mail to that.
Then you can read your private mail in the comfort of your own office or
anywhere else for that matter, since Web browsers abound.

As regards FTP, are you sure they have not set up a proxy server for ftp on
your network?
You might look at the entries in your windows configuration files to see
how they expect you to operate and then make sure your HPLX behaves as they
expect.

Good luck on your browsing!

I'm sorry, but I deleted the message that someone had posted re leap years.
It was an explanation of our crazy calendar system and the rationale of why

Here's our crazy system. With a spot of history:-).

Julius Caesar got his name tied to the basic system we use, it was called the
Julian calendar, looks pretty much like ours, only without oddball leap year
exceptions --- every fourth year was a leap year, period.

Problem is, it takes the earth a hair less than 365.25 days to swing once
around the Sun. By some time in the middle ages, during the reign of Pope
Gregory the somethingorother, that nearly-quarter-day error had added up
to nearly a month, and christmas was wandering on into springtime, so the
Gregorian calendar was adopted most places, has eventually taken over nearly
everywhere, it looks like

        every year has 365 days, unless
        the year is a multiple of 4, in which case it's a leap year, unless
        the year is also divisble by 100, in which case it's not, unless
        the year is also divisible by 400, in which case it _is_

and there the sequence stops. Or so I recall. I've a bookmark of a site that
describes it in even more detail, sadly that bookmark (at Royal Greenwich
Observatory) seems to be extinct. To the best of my recollection, the
Gregorian calendar shouldn't accumulate a full day's error for millenia.

It is a leap year if it is divisible by 4 but not by 100 unless it is
also
divisible by 400.

I am not a newbie, just a lurker.  I should have checked it out.  I took
offense to the 'system consultant' comment that someone made, not towards
me, but to someone in the email I forwarded.  It is true that I don't post a
lot, and I do appreciate people setting me straight.  I was just taken back
by the way some people respond, i.e. not to be helpful, but to be hurtful.
Your comments have been helpful. Thanks.

Scott,

This is a great way to start a flame war ..
I am going to share something with you and I hope that you don not take it
as abuse or insult.

The InterNet has been around or about 10 years and has its own culture
associated with it. It is only recently that the "general public" has been
invited to participate. However the longterm users have not been very
friendly or helpfull in bringing the newbies along. We used to have
net.saints (of which yours truly use to be) who would help people along,
but recently (read last three years) the raw numbers have just made this
impossible.

One of the rules used to be "read for 6 months before you post anything".
That period let you get used to tone of the group and the legands that
make the rounds from time to time. The "good times" and "pen pal" email
virus are classics and are about five years old. They get the newbies all
excited and flood the USENET and ListServers.

Knowledge sets you free .. the next time you see something that looks like
it should spread far and wide - do an AltaVista and DejaNews search on it
first. You may be supprised what you find.

My guess is that most (if not all) of the people that slammed you are not
snobs - they just have the benefit of more time in the saddle. Remember -
everthing you say on the InterNet is immediately checked for spelling,
punctuation and logic by 6 million people.

I recently had a problem with getting a compact flash card to work.
Members of this list were very helpful in pointing out the need for the
acecard driver.   I've passed this knowledge on to the tech support folks
at the card manufacturer. They wonder if there is a "legal" source for this
file. My understanding is that it is technically a commercial product, but
that the owner of the program is no longer in existence.  This puts it in a
kind of limbo--not in the public domain, but no-one around to pay for its use.

If your understanding is different, or if you know of a source that someone
could contact for licensing this software, please let me know, and I will
pass it on.

Thanks.

Your discussion of text editors is similar to a word perfect/ms word
discussion I heard years ago. I think the best editor is the one you
know best that can get the job done.
</snip>

The kind of discussions you mentioned was the following:
A WordPerfect user - who used the table and 100%-preview functions since
years for example - had to hear from a MS Word user the happy news, that
people then (years later) can create tables and preview their documents with
their word processor. It was always the same: Micro$oft always sold the
innovations of others as new features. Digged out my old WordPerfect and
PlanPerfect diskettes some weeks ago, I recognized, that the programs of
those early 1990's have even in the days of M$ Office 97 more practical fast
functionality than Word.

What I want to say is, that there have been really fruitless discussions
about peanuts. But not every statement about software was only chauvinism.

Can you tell me what I do wrong? I installed the same stuff, but the editor
doesn't function. I have the OmniGo 700LX (normally 100% 200LX-compatible),
german version. The problem is, that the fax program is started instead of
an editor. I tried it with the full path to PE and with the &Memo too. But
it doesn't start an editor.

Subject:      Memory problems running appointment book to do's and Info Select
MIME-Version: 1.0

I'm finding a memory problem running Info Select (IS) in non resident
mode on my 2Mb 200LX.

I've allocated 310K for DOS from setup.

Running the appointment book together with IS is suddenly giving
problems with the to do function. I recently added a "master to do" with
a very large note as well as a macro for moving between certain to do
items but it comes up with a "insufficient memory" error message. The
diary function works as normal though.

Allocating extra memory to DOS doesn't work (IS won't load at all then).
I've played around with a couple of permutations but none work.

I suppose all I can do is to invest in an upgrade to more MB's or is
there some other memory - enhancing trick that I can pull off now?

I read somewhere that it's possible to disable "filer" to release some
memory (think it'll release a hefty 56K). Anyone know how? And what are
the downsides, if any, to doing this?

Thanks

The FAQ on my site, http://www.hplx.net, has details on how to do this.
Alternatively, there's a program called Closeflr at SUPER
(www.palmtop.net) that will do the same thing.

Of course not :-)

A native OS/2 application be it a GUI or CUI based is always a program whic=
h runs
in protected mode, even a 16 bit DOS or Windows 3.XX program runs
within a protected mode VDM (Virtual DOS Machine) very much like the scheme
used by Windows NT, while native DOS apps running within a DOS system run i=
n the
REAL mode of the processor.

I don't think the LX processor (an 80186 ??) supports protected mode so, ru=
nning
OS/2 based apps is more or less out of the question.

May I ask what did you have in mind ?

You might also be interested in a couple of EXM programs from Japan
(available on SUPER).  KEYM gives a display of programs and macros
with their hotkeys, and will also allow you to close Filer.  The
Tasklist program comes with several bonus utilities, including one to
close Filer directly.

I have an OG700... I've seen this too.

The fax program is assigned the same scancode as the old Memo key.  So
Post kicks off Fax instead of Memo.  The reason PE doesn't work is because
you're running from SysMgr, so Post calls Memo instead of PE.  Try using
Maxdos, or just running Post from plain DOS.  It should call PE if you've
got PE in the configuration field.

I won't claim it's the easiest or quickest, but either WordPerfect
or 1-2-3 would do this pretty quickly.

Well if they are phone system consultants they shouldn't be passing
along information outside of their area, especially when they don't
understand it.

Also, I don't surf all day, I run a network where staying informed is
necessary to the continuing well being of the system. Of course I
can't imagine anyone technically oriented that wouldn't know that
this was a hoax, even a phone system consultant. I stand by my
original assertion, anyone that passes along that as a valid concern
is not someone I would want to depend on for consultation. You are
free to depend on anyone you wish, no matter what their
qualifications.

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

Hello Guys and Girls

Apologies if this is common knowledge but I dont recall anything about this
in the manual, FAQ or here.

I have a DB of about 1200 records indexed on name that I have for contacts.
I had entered a record but could not remember what I had entered it under.

In trying to find it I discovered the Sort on "None" option. Voila!!  What I
wanted was within the last ten records at the bottom of the DB list.
(records were in the order they were added to the DB all the way back to the
very first record I ever entered)

This inspired some thoughts..

It seems as if the DB just appends each new record to the end of the file
and indexes on whatever sort method is set.. Same as file system in DOS.
Anybody have any info on this?

I investigated on a test DB by Macro copy from one DB to a "new" DB and the
new one is sequentially written in the sorted order. The Menu/file/copy
option repeats the order of the old DB. Ie needs indexing.

Optimising by sequentially copying records seems to solve the DB indexing
prob mentioned recently with Date and Fastfind by David Sargeant..as long as
the new records are added in date order after "optimisation"to the end of
the DB. Adding data after original entry doesnt seem to change the record
location in the DB. ie Fastfind works as it should with no extra fields
neccessary if "No Sort".

Anyway before this message becomes a book..Can you help with possible solutions?

To sequentially copy from one DB to another I used <ctrl-x> and <ctrl-V>
(Cut/Paste) chaining the macro to itself. Is there a way to end a Macro when
the original DB is empty? I had to <ctrl-Break> to terminate the simple
Macro I wrote as it kept adding the last record cut.

Is there another way to step through a DB records so all are processed?

I Macroed DB to DB. What are the consequences of say DB to NDB copy and then
NDB2DB conversion to speed processing?

Any thoughts on PB corruption and ADB corruption based on a hypothesis of
data integrity being increased by optimising /defragging a DB this way? How
can the ADB be defragged? Are there any utils that optimise our DB's?

Is file size likely to be decreased by "No Sort" option? Faster access? Any
other benefits?

Macro is "SLOW" so I'm going to gdbio out and into a new DB.. As of this
message I havent tried that to see if it writes sequentially but logic
suggests it will. I'll post results.

Any comments/experiences/feedback on any of the above?

TIA

Russell

Hi all

I am considering doing a comparison of speeds and sizes on the
Archivers/Packers as listed in the ACT by Jeff Gilchrist but on an HPLX as
about 50% listed on his list are 386+ dependent. Also the tests were done
with lots of Ram and 486.  I posted the ACT URL a couple of weeks ago... Has
anyone used any of the Archivers that are less common? Any comments?

I started to use JAR and have been happy with the speed/compression tradeoff
as compared to Pkzip on my 200LX but wanted to add value to this list... Any
interest in the results once I complete the tests??

I was thinking of doing them on a factory 200LX as well as a DS 8 meg
machine..  I need to know a good figure to use for TREMM...  ie What is an
average setup that most may compare to.. The reason is a lot of the newer
compressors use EMS to increase speed and compression.

Please post your setups to me offlist and I'll summarise them and post to
the list..

Hi Mitch & list

I "believe" years ago I used a DOS batch file prog to do this..  I am trying
to re-locate a wonderful Batch book that I had..  Amazing stuff using pipes
and redirections.. Sort on second word on a line etc.. or first letter of
third word etc.  Is there a Sort option in DOS 5?  Cant recall....

ie Macro out to a dos batch file and back..

But it IS a leap year because the new century it falls on is divisible
by 400.

Many of the standard UNIX-style programs should be able to handle this
easy.  There's the CUT and AWK utility that immediately come to mind.

But also, you might dig up the old QSORT program by Ben Baker.  It is an
enhanced SORT utility, has many of the more advanced sorting features.
Mine is dated 1987 and called Version 3.00

Quick search on the web reveals this is still available on various Simtel
archives.

This is not as tough as everyone is making it.  If it is a US presidential

My apologies for the lack of serious HPLX content.  My recent purchase
of a close out OmniBook brings up this question.  Is there a Omnibook
list?

While the 800CT can never replace my 200LX, as others have stated, it is
the best laptop I have used, period.  The only drawback is the heat
generated. The new thin laptops with heat dispersing magnesium cases
seem to run cooler but I would not trade for one.  Considering the
excellent design of the OmniBook and HP95/100/200LX series compared to
the current HP offerings, it seems HP has slipped.  It is a sad
thought.  One can only hope HP will see the error of their ways and once
again offer cutting edge products.

If you are limited in memory and/or disk space check out the
Tiny editor on SUPER.  The EXE is only 10k and it edit can big
files and multiple files.

Even if you don't use it on the HPLX its small size makes it an
excellent candidate for an emergency diskette where you have to
cram as many useful utilities onto a bootable 1.4M diskette so
you can rescue your pc after you clobber it somehow.
(I've used mine many times.)

You DO have an emergency disk don't you?  If you don't, you're
guarenteed to need one some day in the Worst possible way...   :-)

cheers...

see Walter Francis' web site for a complete

hit F1 for help, etc., and immediately quit, and see
if that doesn't help.  The same thing, to a much
lesser extent, happens with Software Carousel (don't

Francis' website is part of the palmtop rng (I think),
accessible through the S.U.P.E.R. site.

If you can't find it, write back and I'll send you the

Another snide remark.  I guess since you are a network support technician
you are infallible.  That must be nice.  I wish I could claim the same.  I
bow to your greatness...
I can only say I made a mistake to re-post this without checking it out
further. I will certainly try to educate others as to their mistakes in such
a helpful manner as yours.  These phone system consultants should not try to
be helpful to the computer community as they don't use computers, right?
Likewise we computer geeks should only use e-mail, since we are not
specialists in phone technology.  Damn those phone nerds!  Good luck in all
that you do, be it slapping in Nics, stringing cable or even talking on the
phone.  Please pardon any future transgressions of mine.  I cannot put a
filter on my posts to the news list, so that you will not receive my
ill-informed comments, or I would most certainly do so.  Sometimes my
technically backward ways show through.  I only hope I grow personally
enough not to fall for any more hoaxes.  Thank you.

Well if they are phone system consultants they shouldn't be passing
along information outside of their area, especially when they don't
understand it.

Also, I don't surf all day, I run a network where staying informed is
necessary to the continuing well being of the system. Of course I
can't imagine anyone technically oriented that wouldn't know that
this was a hoax, even a phone system consultant. I stand by my
original assertion, anyone that passes along that as a valid concern
is not someone I would want to depend on for consultation. You are
free to depend on anyone you wish, no matter what their
qualifications.

Hi,

how about windows 3.0 on the 200LX? I installed it successfully, Stefan
Peichl's "sleepon" runs perfectly with it, but - what software can I run
under Windows 3.0???

Is there a version of MS Office that runs in real mode?

I tried to install Office V3.0, but already the setup-program wouldn't
run ("only standard- or 386-mode").

Is there a good office-software (may not be from MS) running  under
Win3.0?

Thanks for help,
Daniel.

OFF TOPIC BUT TO GOOD TO NOT PASS ON
That is not a typo CDW has the OB800 docking station for $9.99. That is
nine dollars and ninty nine cents. This docking station is normally
$400+. I just ordered it.

Sounds like a useful avenue to explore might be to look into gdb102.zip on
S.U.P.E.R..; it contains gdbdump.exe and gdbload.exe. I have used 'em with
glee. I'll create DBs from online info (phonebooks, host data, etc.) I'll
use a DB for data collection and dump it into CSV and process it on the
workstation (perl's Text::CSV_XS module rocks here). And for what you are
interested in, you could gdbdump it into CSV format, sort that CSV format to
suit you, rearrange columns if you're gonna frob the schema (not necessary
perhaps, but I do like to have my CSV columns align with the order of the
fields, as indicated by TAB navigation, within the gdb database). Then make a
new DB (file/new) with the same schema and no records, and gdbload your sorted
CSV back into that. The first time you open the fruit of this operation it'll
claim "no records found", because gdbload doesn't populate the indices, but
just pull up the "All records" subset and gdb will re-index the DB and away
you go.

Hello to the List,

I received the OLB for christmas, and am trying to get
it installed on the 'LX.  From Tom Hoover's web site,
I downloaded the 'fix' to allow OLB to run on the LX.
Has anyone else done this and gotten it to work?  Any
help would be appreciated.


tia,

You might have a look at

http://www.malloc.com/HP800/

where someone's put up a little (by LX standards <g>) FAQ sheet on the 800, and
mentions some problems with running Win98.

I've just been exposed (?) to the HP Omnibook 800.  It has an outboard floppy
and an outboard SCSI CD-ROM.  My question concerns the SCSI CD-ROM.  How does
one find the drivers to be able to do a fresh load of Windows 98?  Sorry for the
non LX question (my 100 is still working fine after I fixed the hinge), but I
remember someone mentioning the OB800 in this list.

Subject:      Re: Running OS/2 progs on the HPLX...

        Hello,

 As I remember, that OS/2 network client was actually a DOS utility
 included in early OS/2 releases to allow logging in to OS/2 server
 from a machine running DOS? Probably I have it among a basketfull of
 OS/2 v1.2 disks, just tell me the file name (can send dirlistings).

 Someone mentioned it in the list a good while ago, that this could be
 suitable for logging onto a WinNT4 Server via LAN (some weird dinamic
 settings by NT) right from your palmtop. Hope you can figure out what
 it all means; I lost that digest #, where it was explained. (DHCP?)

 BTW, the LXer, who wrote about it, said he'll have to abandon 200LX,
 if he cannot connect to any WinNT network w/o supervisor help. Is he
 still around or bailed out?

             Sincerely: Tamas Feher.

I agree with Stan, why would anyone want this facility, perhaps that's why
it never got a mention in the user manual. It seems that using it prone to
some error if you lose track of how many repeating appointments you have
deleted, it would be easy to restore some occurrences you want to keep
deleted and you will not know as the restored appointments are not reported
to the user.

At least I know what it does now.

Good morning!

Any Compact Flash with adapter should work with HP 200LX. The only thing

does someone know about such limitations? And can anyone say something

I have tried other variations on the initialization string and get the same

any help will be appreciated.

I am using it daily with an X-Jack 14.4 modem. The software automatically

If you ran the setup program for Post/LX v2.2, F3 (Global settings)
 and changed the first field to read, "c:\pe\pe.exe $f", it should
work. That's if you installed PE in c:\pe, and have no other program
with the name PE in your path.

I have used Interlink/Interserver a lot.
It is quite convinient
Just add (on Your hp)
device=3Dc:\dos\interlnk.exe
in config.sys, and run Intersvr on the desktop PC.
Now you can acces the Desktops drives as if they were in the HP when
you type interlink.
You can actualy run programs located on Your desktop PC on Your hp.
This procedure works the other way around too.

Thanks. I followed the procedure for disabling filer to release memory
as documented in the faq TO THE LETTER but it wouldn't work. Wonder what
I'm doing wrong or is there an error in the faq? Any ideas?

Claud,

I have the OLB running nicely on my 200LX.  Let me know what you are trying to
do, and I'll be glad to help.

BTW, I start the program with this batch file:

     a:
     cd a:\bible
     bible d=a:\bible\av

I could never get the minimenu program to work, but I did find the last line
in that batchfile.  Obviously, I have the program in a:\bible, and the
Authorized Version Bible files in a:\bible\av.

Let me know what you are up to, if this dosn't do it.  I also use HisWord for
some things.  I use the same Bible files, by choose the program depending on
what I'm doing.

Hello All;

I have a question regarding the appointment book program.

Is there any piece of add-on software I can get that will cause the 6-month
calender view to highlight or otherwise indicate that there is something
occuring on a particular date?

Example: I set up an event - say April 22-24, field testing.  In the view
where you see a week or a month, the event appears.  But when you go to the
6-month view (which I find the most useful for scheduling things in the
long term), there is nothing in the display to let you know that you should
go and check these particular dates to see that something is already there.

I would find it quite useful to be able to have events or appointments
flagged at the 6 month level.

Any help appreciated (the tech rep at HP was very willing to help, but
after we spent about 30 minutes on the phone, told me that it certainly
appears that this is NOT a feature in the 200LX.  Bummer...)

After you finish the described procedure:

1. Start Filer (press the Filer key)

2. Now press the More key

3. Use the cursor keys to highlight the Filer icon.

4. Press F6, and the Filer should now be closed (look at your memory avail)

Dear List,

I have a c.1994 SMART Modular Technologies Fax/Modem

that I use with my 200LX.

I need a replacement cable - which I can buy new from
mobile planet, etc.  (Part name - ZCable/9 pin)

Does anyone have a used cable, or know where I can get
one?  Do cables from any other manufacturer fit this
particular card?

When I tried interserv/interlnk in windows 98 my computer went very
slow...so I went back to Transfile.

It's a valid question, but I've not seen anything like you desire. I
guess your best best bet is to stick with the monthly views, and page
down thru the months...

I'd like to put together a small shopping list program which uses the gdb

If you are looking for something simple, may I suggest
kermit - there is a version on the 200', and the PC
version can be had for nothing, and works well.

I received the DOS version from www.bible.com for
Christmas.  I was thinking I could use the patched files
from Tom Hoover's site to get it to run.  I'm not sure
what to do, really.  Should I install the version from
the CD on my desktop, then copy the files over from
Tom's fixed file?  I've also ordered the NIV and RSVs
from the same site.  These I guess I just copy over
(haven't received these yet).  I'm devoting a 40 mb
card to this, so hopefully I'll have enough space.

Not sure what you mean by "I did find the last line in

Is Hisword faster?  I've used it, and like it, but
can't compare it yet.

Gred!
I am answering your e-mail a little late but I think aprox $450.00 is a

Japan Palmtops Direct (www.jpd.com) has lots of Libretto stuff.  The easiest
way to load windows would be to buy a 2.5inch to 3.5inch hard drive adapter.
This would let you install the Libretto's hard drive in a desktop computer
and easily copy the windows files on to it.

try it with the initialization string atz. The at&f restores factory
settings. Perhaps you will get a better result at the second login. Then we
have to think about again.

The Libretto 50 ships with a small port adapter that provides things like a
9-pin serial port.  Not much use to you.  I think you want the
mini-cardstation (BWR there is one for the Libretto 50/70/100 and a
different one for the Libretto 110).   That gives you a second PC card
socket, so you can run the FDD and something else.

I use a Panasonic KXL-D740 PC card CD-ROM.  It's a SCSI PC card, and the
driver disk that came with it set it up correctly first time.  I've used
this to reinstall Win95 from CD-ROM before restoring the backup over the
top.  I guess if I used Colorado backup I could have restored the system
from a boot disk, I use a Ditto tape and have to get Win95 running to run
the restore (daft!).   The PC card CD-ROM is really useful, we use it on
several older laptops that do not have CDROMs.  And it can play music, runs
on batteries if needed etc.

The other BWR is that I found the FDD used IRQ15 I think, and that caused a
conflict with either a card modem or a LAN card, don;t recall which but I
infer that the FDD is *not* plug and play in some way.  Easily fixed from
the control panel.

Needless to say (and I put this in so this mentions the LX in this list!)
the SCSI card draws far too much power to run in an LX, great shame.

Hi,

I sent a message earlier- looking for a older version of LANMAN than
2.2. Because in 2.2, 200LX will not be able to load the TCP/IP drivers
due to that it's 286 code. An older version may work....

It's possible to map drivers on a NT network using NetBUI. But NetBUI
has limitations and TCP/IP is the way to go in a NT network. So if an
early OS/2 release can handle TCP/IP, it could be interesting to test
it on the 200LX.

Regards,

Jorgen

Hi Arthur,
I have the (almost) latest epsilon on my palmtop, 9.01 and it works ok.
I did have it running under sysman with maxdos but when I modified the
vcs extension it stopped working (gotta watch the size of that state file).
So now I have to exit sysman (and unload some tsr's that maxdos used to) in order to
run it.

Once you turn off syntax hilighting it runs at a usable speed (on a double-speed HP).

But as I use it about 8 - 10 hours a day on the desktop (really), I find that I
cannot live without it. I'll even run it on the palmtop just to sort a file on a
column, or to run a macro for a repetitive edit!

I don't have a minimal install either, I have the eel header files and the source
files zipped, and the source to several extensions I use....

I'm known in the office as an epsilon evangelist, my most common phrase (after
'rtfm') is probably 'i could do that in half the time in epsilon'.

But... I've been thru very heavy editor-wars before!

It really does boil down to personal preference!

Hi,

I used Interlink too, but I couldn't access the CD-ROM-drive of my
desktop computer.  Why? How can I change this???

I also tried to use Laplink Remote Access, it works great if I connect
the two devices with the HP serial cable, but if I try to connect them
with Infrared (I have a little infrared box for my desktop) it woks only
sometimes. If I use the LLRA Server on the HP it works everytime. Only
if I try to start LLRA as TSR on both computers, I get these problems.
I tried to modify the TSI.INI, also I used this one in the directory
"C:\_DAT\LLRASERV" which is used by the server application, but it
doesn't work.
Any Idea??

Thanks,
Daniel.

I note your point on filter commands by parts of lines, rather than
whole lines.  I do exactly the same kinds of HTML editing from within
vi, myself.  I have defined some macros that do many of these functions,
without actually exporting text to another program.  My personal macros
are pretty crude, but I would imagine that the real vi experts probably
have some really serious HTML editing macros that I'd love to get a
copy of... <hint, hint>

I kinda doubt it. While I can understand what you want and why you want it, I
expect that the designers of the software didn't plan on it, just because
many, perhaps most people rapidly get their box set up so that every day would
be highlighted. First you merge the holidays database. Then you use adbmoon to
load the phases of the moon. Then you put in any appointment you get. Then you
start tucking in reminders to run errands and do chores. Then you start
putting in tickler-style alerts so when some big event is coming up (e.g. a
bill that needs paying occasionally like every 6 months or once a year, or
someone's birthday, or whatever) you have lead-up warnings every day
approaching for 2 weeks or a month.

While you might not pack your appt book that way, I suspect the designers had
a vision of that sort of use in their minds when they set the software up.

I tried my Silicom 56K modem (http://www.silicom.co.il), that I use on
my Laptop in the LX. The LX immediatelly complained about "main battery
very low". The modem was pulling too much juice from the poor thing.

I had to reboot the other day using CTRL-LEFT SHIFT-ON and lost some info
on my C drive.  Luckily I had a backup, but it was at home.  I had an older
backup on my A: as well, but released that THAT is the one that should have
been most current.

I've been using Jorgen Wallgren's LXBackup program, which works really
nice.  But I've been doing it manually so I don't always have a backup when
I need it.  So I decided to run a nightly backup from Appointment Book that
looks like this:

  |a:\backup\lxbackup.exe @Q

The only problem is that when LXBackup starts, it hangs at the collecting
information screen.  I've left it sit for ten minutes before crashing out
of it.  When I run it manually it never takes that long to get started.

I've tried running it manually, shelling out from Filer with Appointment
Book open, and it seems to work fine.

Any ideas about what might be wrong?

Thanks

I had intermittent lockup problems also during my nightly backups and I finally
traced it to a problem with closing Filer.

My old setup:
- I had my AppMgr setup with the "close Filer" trick.
- My nightly backup used a macro to first close all apps before the backup (in
order to get a good copy of any open databases)

My problem:
- Lockup occured when on occasion, my macro which closes all apps wasn't able to
close the Filer (usually because I hadn't run Filer since my last boot-up), and
the result was that ensuing process (I forget whether it was the rest of the
macro, or whether it was MaxDOS) locked the system.

My solution:
- My nightly backup macro now first opens Filer so that the "close Filer"
portion runs correctly.

Like you, my manual attempts to duplicate the problem failed...it only happens
when the process was driven by a timed macro.

It sounds like you have got some source code although you do not indicate
what language it is in. I presume it is most likely to be C, in which case
you will need to get your hands on a C Compiler in order to get yourself a
working program. From your questions, it appears you are not familiar with
the world of programming so unless you wish to invest some time getting
familiar with the basics you may have trouble creating a working program.

You could forward it to me off list if you wish so that I can at least
advise you of what you will need to get going.

>... Is this something to be posted to the list? Super?

I do not know what the policy would be on this, SUPER is intended for
palmtop related applications of which your source code could possibly apply.
It certainly fits in with the idea of publicly available source code that is
promoted by some on the list.

I have been forwarded the source code, but don't have a DOS C compiler to build
the binary. I would definitely like to have it for SUPER if someone wants to do
the compile, add the source code and a little readme if available.

According to Bennett Todd:
> workstation (perl's Text::CSV_XS module rocks here). And for what you are

You might be interested to know, that you could skip gdbio with a
nice and friendly "use HP200LX::DB;" right after "use Text::CSV_XS;"

Writing to the database is then a matter of an array tie:

  $db= HP200LX::DB::openDB ('template/standard.gdb');
  tie (@db, HP200LX::DB, $db);

Each DB record can then be added as a hash reference like:
  $db$i++= { 'fieldname' => 'value', ... and so on };
  # Perl does not allow you to push to a tied array

and to save and re-index a
  $db->refresh_viewpt (-1);
  $db->saveDB ("ps/$today.gdb");
would do the trick.

Version 0.03 of the module can be found on your nearest CPAN in
modules/by-module/HP200LX/, a newer version is available on
http://falbala.wu-wien.ac.at:8684/pub/english.cgi/0/41420

I'm using this method to prepare GDB files on my Unix work station
and push it then to the LX with lxfileman/lxtools over a serial
infra red (SIR) link ;)

I have compiled the source code, but I haven't created a JAM file to test it
on.  It basically is just a cluster decompression routine, so you would need
to build a program to read files out by going to the directory sectors,
looking up the file entry, looking up the first cluster of the file and
follow the cluster chain in the FAT table.  It still needs a good bit of
work in other works, but it is possible.  Someone could write a VB front end
using a tree control to look at the files and directories, and then make
calls to a 32 bit C dll to actually talk to the JAM file.

Cheers,
Mack

Sounds like the _perfect_ think would be to find a way to hack this into
mtools. Wowza, wouldn't that be cool, if you could read and write your JAMmed
FLASH card while it was slipped in the PCMCIA slot on your Linux laptop....

Hi,

I don't have much time, so I ask once more:

what flash card or compact flash card could you more recommend and why?
these ones from Alix or these from Simple Technologies (sold by Systems
Unlimited) which are cheaper then these from Alix?

I think about a compact flash card 48 MB with Type-II-adaptor.

Thanks,

I don't know...worked for me. Your other options (unless you've already tried
these):

1) Try the CLOSFLR utility on SUPER, which sounds like it's supposed to do the
same thing.

2) or backup your LX, do a hard reset and completely eviscerate your RAM of data
and try it again....not a pretty sight.

Other than that, I don't have a clue... maybe you're the only one with the
"immortal" version of Filer <g>.

I have an ST 40mb which I bought for US$159 which works very well in
my HP200lx. I understand from others that this card is (1) very fast;
and (2) consumes somewhat more battery power than the equivalend
Sandisk cards. Since my HP200Lx battery expenses are one of the more
minor expense items in my life, I don't mind the battery cost (if there
is one---in any case, I don't notice it)/

I just bought a 40 mb ata flash card new from MagicRAM
for $127 plus tax & shipping.  There were some rumors
that this card was slow like the Pretec cards.
However, it appears to run as fast as any other card I
own (ST 40 mb, HP 10 mb, Sandisk 10 mb, and HP 5 mb).
I can't tell the difference.  Win95 recognizes it as a
Sundisk, but that may be more related to the driver it
uses - I don't know.  Bottom line, it runs well.

I'd tend to guess that that would be something like

        debug c:\_dat\appmgr.dat
        e 10a
        01
        w
        q

with returns something like that (though I'm not sure, been about 15 years
eek! since I've fired up DOS debug).

But I used CloseFlr (available from S.U.P.E.R. in clsflr.zip, with good docs)
and had no problems. I can happily recommend that approach.

There is a program called "Workgroup Connection" wich was available from
Microsoft TechNet CD-ROM and from CompuServe.
This is supposed to be a very old program for logging on to a network
with Windows3.1 and MS-DOS.
Do YOU have this one?

ps i found a reference to "Workgroup Connection 3.1" on microsoft.com
but not the program itself.

Why not just set up an ICON on your main screen for Backup.

in DOS mode
copy con:C:\ backup.bat
xcopy C:\ /s  A:\backup
z
=20
go to  A:\   drive and=20
mkdir backup

return to C:\
exit  =20

to exit  DOS mode

=46rom main screen enter:


Menu   A
add
name Backup
path   C:\backup.bat
Icon   (your choice)

Now to use the new backup just=20
CLOSE ALL open applications=20
then hi light new Icon for backup=20
press enter=20

this works very well and will copy your C: drive over to the A:Backup =
sub-dir.

Yes, the adapter for the Compact FLash makes it work in any
regular size PCMCIA slot - such as the HP 100/200LX.

I don't know what the palmtop's limit is, but I know for a
fact that the 160MB flash cards work fine in the palmtop.

Interlink will work with the palmtop - I have used it.

If you can find an older version of LapLink from Traveling
Software, it works fine on the palmtop.  The interface looks
very similar to Filer.  I use LapLink Pro, which is really
like version 4.  I would expect verion 3 works and I think
version 5 does also.

There is a share program called Zip that is a tiny and fast
file transfer program that works from the command line - it
does not have much of a user interface, but it is solid and
efficient.  It is probably available as the S.U.P.E.R. site.

The HP Connectivity Pack will also do file transfers nicely
because it has the Filer application.  So, you can connect
Filer on the palmtop to the Filer in the CPACK.

For simple file transfers, you can use the built in DataComm
application and connect it to a comms program, such as Hyper
terminal, and then use the Ymodem or Zmodem transfer protocols.

I used Stacker for many years and found to to be quite
reliable.  It is really a good way to increase your
flashcard's storage capacity without the expense of new
hardware.

But, of course, there are downsides to anything.  The Stacker
driver will take up about 40-45K of system RAM all the time.
If you are already tight with system RAM with some of your
programs, this will make it worse.

A Stacked flashcard will not be readable in a Win95 machine
without special proceedures and configurations to make it
work.

Reading from a Stacked card will be a little bit slower than
without Stacker.  Writing to the Stacked card will be
noticable slower.  The effect that you will see will be with
the PIM data file opening, processing and closing slower than
without Stacker.

You will have to do a bit of a dance with the CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT files if you want to keep them on the flash card.
 The CONFIG.SYS goes on the unstacked part of the card and
the AUTOEXEC.BAT goes on the Stacked part.  Make sure you keep
a copy of the Stacker driver program handy on the C: drive
and other places because if you should happen to lose it, then
you cannot access your flash card.

Do you really think you will need to store more than 20MB on
the 20MB card?  If you are not sure, then don't bother with
Stacker unless you really need it.  I used Stacker for a long
time with a 20MB card where I stored about 32MB on it all the
time.  Then I went out and bought a 40MB card, dumped Stacker
and never looked back.

There already is a fantastic shopping list program called

keeps track of items needed, sorts the list by the isles in
the store, adds up the prices, etc.  Check it out.

Mitch, do you mean lines within the notes field of a record in
the Notetaker app on the 100/200LX?  If yes, then I cannot
think of any way to do this.  The structure of that file is
very complicated and I doubt that any generic file sorting
utility could pull apart the notes field, sort it and then put
it back in.

Could you be referring to Microsoft Workgroups for DOS?  "WFD" has been
around for some years, but M$ is still selling it over the counter, so I
doubt it is available "publicly".  WFD works on most anything.  I have
it installed on a V20 XT that only has one floppy (5inch) and no hard
drive.  (this machine is open-frame, mounted on plywood and drives my
friends crazy when I get it to do things they say it can't :)

Hope this helps, I realize it's not exactly what you were asking about.

Too bad you can't easily take the 123 spreadsheet and stuff it back into the
LX's cut/paste buffer.

But one suggestion... after you print the 123 results to a file, rather than
using Memo just open the notes field and use F3 (Insert) to read the file into
the notes.

That should save you a step or two.

I have found a similar problem in Windows 95. I think Explorer checks all
its drives as a background task, and when checking the Interlinked drive,
takes a while over the serial interface to establish if the  drive is there,
thus making everything else wait. From what I remember, if the Palmtop is
connected, thing seem OK, but when you do not have your Palmtop tethered,
some longer timeouts come into play.

For this reason I no longer load Interlink in my Config.sys, and instead
reboot to a customised DOS session which loads Interlink and then allows me
to transfer between the Palmtop and the PC. This is only done via batch file
controlled backup sessions.

For day to day drag & drop transfers of the occasional file, Transfile seem
the most convenient.

Subject:      Poll about a LX hardware database
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain

Hi to all. I have the opportunity to set up a database on a unix server,
and had this idea: set up a database with successful hardware
accessories for the LX. My idea would be to allow everyone that's
willing to help, to fill out a form with the hw type (ethernet, modem,
flash, ac power etc...) , Make, model, drivers etc.. that are WORKING on
the LX. I think this would make life much easier for anyone that's
willing to buy an add on for his lx, but isn't sure if it'll work...
This way he could have some real life examples of working hardware. I
know this info can be found on this list, but it's not that easy and
quick to search the messages for the right answer.
Right now i just would like to know if such a thing interests anybody.
If i have good response i'll set it up in a couple of days.
Thanks and keep up the good work everybody.

That's a great idea.  You might also consider consulting with some of the
more frequented 200LX sites like hplx.net and palmtop.net about having them
host it.  Both palmtop.net and hplx.net are Unix-based systems.

My first entry: an AT&T/Paradyne KeepInTouch 14.4 PC Card fax modem.  Works
great.

Sounds like a good idea to me, too.  The database could
also include names of people who have had success with
each type of hardware (those willing anyway).

Yes, sort the lines within an individual note field. Several have suggested
automating the process with:

* copy text
* paste in Memo
* save to file
* sort file with sort or something similar (sort is not included in ROM on the
200LX) in DOS
* Return to SysMgr and re-open notepad
* Go back to note in question
* Delete original text
* Read in sorted file

Now to figure out a good way to do this... :)

I wouldn't want to have to write the macro, I haven't done anything fancy with
LX macros in years, but I think the sequence you're looking for is

* use the "save as" function (F2) within the open note ("Full Screen Note") to
  save the note contents directly to a tmp file;
* invoke an external sort program (some have mentioned a dos program named
  "qsort"; failing all else there's always the sort in the GNUish MSDOS
  project) to sort that tmp file;
* go back to the open note, delete the whole contents, then use "insert" (F3)
  to pull the sorted tmp file back in.

Don't go through either the Sysmgr copy buffer or memo.

If you _did_ need to involve sysmgr copy buffer for some reason, I'd still
avoid memo; I'd probably build a macro that needed to use the copy buffer
around clipvue (available from S.U.P.E.R.), since I don't like automation
techniques that trash the state of major sysmgr apps --- I sometimes leave
memo open with some tmp data, like a shopping list or whatever, in it; I
sometimes leave it open as a "file reader" for fairly large documents,
typically converted from RTF using docrtf22 from S.U.P.E.R.; and anyhow it's
an awfully heavyweight doowah to get the copy buffer saved to to a disk file.

LXTEL is a "least cost router" for the new german telephone

nothing about telephone systems in other countries. Maybe Swiss
and Austria may have a similar system?

Hi Mitch & list

Just a thought..

Create a special DB that is used ONLY to sort your notes..

Cut from Note to DB and save each line as a new record..

DB is sorted on Alpha..

CUT and Paste back to Note..

Should leave the DB empty and a sequentially written Note in Alpha or other
order as you want in Notetaker..

Should be faster and uses inbuilt SW

Will this work?

Yes, automatic backups can be dangerous, given the way our HP databases corrupt
without lettting us know till several days downstream.

I usually backup my flash card (containing the live databases + the nightly
backup) onto my desktop once every week or two... that's my only measure of
protection and sometimes even that doesn't save me when a database goes south
(the desktop version is either corrupt also, or is so old as to be useless).

You just have to gauge your risk. I felt it was more important to have a nightly
backup immediately available, usually to recover from an inadvertent change (ie,
deleting records that were important or something like that). These problems
occur much more frequently with me than corrupted databases (tho YMMV depending
on whether you're as scatter-brained as I am).

As to showing you my backup method...I did this once before about a year ago,
and I remember it was painfully tedious to document.
The concept is simple. Schedule a nightly appointment at 1am that runs a macro
to close all apps and then run the backup. There's an excruciating amount of
detail involved when I have to explain the workarounds and my reasons for doing
things "just so", and those reasons may be peculiar to me

Email me if you want all the details, but essentially I have macro key Fn-7
programmed to do the backups, and that starts an icon in AppMgr that MaxDos's
out and runs a batch file that pkzips the entire sheebang into zip files on the
flash card.

The appointment entry is scheduled for repeating and:
1) Looks like this => ||7 Close Apps & backup        ; the double vertical bars
says a macro follows, the 7 is the macro number, the rest is comment
2) put a Q in the location field
3) enable the alarm
4) leadtime is set to 0

Question please:
Is it not dangerous to have an automatic backup..
In case if you get a corrupted file then that will be coppied over to the A:\
drive
and now you will have two messed up files.

If you don't feel this is not a problem,  will you please show us how to set up
the alarm system to run the macro's

What I want to see is an automatic mirror program that would keep my
backup in sync with my C: drive.  If I delete a file, I want it deleted in
the next backup-- so XCOPY /M is out (unless I delete the original
backup, which means I have to recopy all the stuff that HASN'T changed as
well). It would be nice to do it to serial, network, or flash as well-- to
have options.

Anybody up for writing the ultimate palmtop backup program?  <g>

Hi all

I have thought of a way to break out of an infinite macro IF the numbers
from the bottom of the DB screen can be accessed..

ie If there are 226 records and the cursor is on 123rd record then at the
bottom is (123/226)

Does anyone know if this can be accessed somehow?

Regards

Russell

I wonder if there's a DOS port of the mirror program for UNIX... that way,
you could use Rod's upcoming LXTELNET ftp server.  That'd be pretty cool.

I enter a lot of repetitious entries and find the QuickFill
feature makes it quite tolerable.

While not automated, Pocket Quicken (pq) keeps a "hotlist" of items so
that by typing a letter or two (in my case Mortgage: type letter "M"),
PQ fills out the rest and the amount.  But, yes, I do have to opne pq
and press f2 and then "M" and then f10 (save).

I would guess you could create an Fn-macro linked to an appointment to
do this.

It's possible, though tricky, to work around this problem in a standalone
solution purely on the palmtop.

It's a piece o' cake to solve the problem _thoroughly_ using tools on the
desktop.

I have a shell script on my Unix system, that uses lxcopy to do an incremental
backup to a mirror I keep on the desktop, then checks all the updates to that
mirror into CVS, a version-control system. This makes it effortless to take
backups, and easy to get any version of any file at any point in time that
ever got captured by a backup. The one thing this strategy doesn't try to do
is to make it easy to reproduce the whole system (since it doesn't propogate
deletions in at all); this hasn't been a problem; several times I've used my
backups to reconstruct my palmtop (upgrading, switching to a backup machine
when the primary needs repairs, doing juggling when changing disk compression
strategies) and in each case it has been easy to just copy in the files I know
I need, then add those I've missed as I discover I need 'em.

Now that I've gotten an 85MB FLASH (and got it chock-a-block full pretty
darned quick:-) I've tuned my backups a bit; there are a couple of directories
on the FLASH where I keep _nothing_ except stuff I've downloaded, no editing
or work or anything, any time I do any configuration or anything the target
gets moved out of these download areas (pgms/, etext/, and db/). So I don't
have to back them up.

InfoSelect info I received just recently from Micro Logic.  Thought the

Anyone know any DOS programmers, as mentioned by Mr. Bonnett?  Anyone

Although they may be more expensive, go with a 48mb Sandisk Compact
flash. I had high current draw problems with a ST48 PCcard.
Check at CDW.com part# 108082 198.68+adapter 111501 9.51.
I've never heard of the other card you mentioned.
Sandisk has been used with the 200 for years, although they may have
been slower and more expensive than other cards. There have been some
signicant price drops lately.

        Palmtoppaper.com also carries Sandisk.

Tip: you can enter for the path c:\backup.bat|50 , and this will use
only 50 K of memory for the batch file, just in case other apps are
open and there's not enough leftover RAM to open a full DOS session.

There's no reason I know of to close the other apps except to give
more memory to the DOS session to run the batch file. This is
minimized if you allocate as little RAM as possible for the copy
command.

I tried to use LXBACKUP for specific files i.e. I created a
disc directory and erased those files which I did not want to
have backed up.

I have not installed it in APP, just tried it from DOS. It does not work.

My equipment : DS 32 meg, SSC on swapped C:, 8meg EXP Thinfax
for backup in G:, german version

Why does it work for you and not for me (had two hard reboots
already and need more regular backups).

There is a program called Hpcrack that finds the password for all the
above. The only one that is safe is the Quicken file...

Patrick,

I saw you got a few answers to your query, but the two I saw weren't quite
what you are after.  I did this on my HP200 by recording a system macro and
then scheduling that macro to execute in the appointment book.  Essentially
I have a macro that starts quicken, switches to the correct account, adds
the transaction, saves it, and then exits quicken.  I then schedule that
macro to run in the appointment book using a repeating appointment (F8).
Works every time.

I actually have 3 of them.  One records my mortgage payment, one my
paycheck, and another a transfer that I make monthly from one account to
another.  They all happen in the middle of the night automagically!

If you need this explained better, just drop me a note and I can elaborate
on anything that I didn't make very clear.

Somewhere in the region of 32kb I think. I did read something about
problems with cut'n'paste if the file was around 30-32 kb in size
somewhere (the FAQ?), so it might be a good idea to stay below that level.
There is a replacement editor on the SUPER95 site
(http://www.palmtop.net/super95.html) that can handle larger files from
within the SysMgr. It is called "Freyja".

The System Macro feature is simply a keystroke recording and

Carefull there are two versions of 1st Act!.  One is DOS one is Win3.1.

Both are lite versions of ACT! limited to one database and missing some other
features.  Neither can link to the Palmtop version of ACT!

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

Thanks to all who responded to my original question.  I'd like to address
some of the questions others have brought up and share what I finally did.

I'm using Jorgen LXBackup program for the specific reason that it keeps
incremental backups.  By that I mean that the backup that runs tonight will
be a:\backup\150199\backup.zip.  The backup that runs tomorrow night will
be a:\backup\160199\backup.zip.  I do a full backup to my desktop computer
and remove all the backup files except the most recent.  That way, I have
the most current one with me for emergencies and if a file gets hosed up
but I don't realize it until a few days later, I can go back to an earlier
version.

I wanted to run a macro that calls LXBackup to do the backup and then run
another macro to copy the macro to the next day (see Avi's "Re: Waking Up
LX at 2 am" in the archives).  My problem was that I kept running out of
memory, except that it wasn't obvious.  Either the LX would lock up or
PKZip would flash a message saying there wasn't enough memory, but it was
so quick I couldn't read it.  So here's what I finally came up with.

1. Set up LXBackup as an icon in More Applications and run it using |300 so
it has enough memory.  Also use the upside down ? (Fn-?) in the comment
field to skip the "Press any key . . ." message when LXBackup is done.

2. Write a macro to close all the applications and call LXBackup.  Closing
all applications frees memory and ensures that I get a good copy of all the
files.  The macro looks like this:

   {More}{Menu}al{More}{End}{Enter}

The LXBackup icon is the last one in the list so {End} takes me there.

3. Set up an appointment using ||6.  The || means that it is a macro and
the 6 is the number of the macro.  Set the time.  A Q in the location field
makes the appointment silent.  Enable the alarm and set lead time to 1.

That's it.  Avi's macro comes five minutes later and copies both macros to
the next day.  It looks simple now, even though it took a couple of days to
get it.

Thanks to everyone for getting me thinking about what could be wrong.

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

I've come up with a new problem, oh the difficulties that arrive from having
big FLASH cards...:-).

I like converting online databases --- phonebooks, host info tables, etc ---
into HP databases, and downloading 'em, so I have this reference info with me
all the time. Up to this point I've been using gdbload with glee for this.
Problem arises when I have a 1.2MB database in CSV format; gdbload dies with
an error after writing 200K of gdb file in the ".new".

I'm gonna have a bash at using the Perl tools for doing the CSV==>GDB
conversion, but they share with gdbload that you still have to load the thing
into the builtin database to building the indices before you can use it. What
I _really_ want is something with a user interface not too different from the
builtin DB (or more precisely, not too different from DBView --- read-only is
_fine_) that can handle multi-meg databases. And preferably run in only a
couple hundred KB so it can share the palmtop with a few sysmgr apps, needless
to say.

The features I tend to use the most are "Quick search" (incremental search) on
different sort keys, taking different subsets and sorting them different ways,
and searching for specific records with a "find" type function.

Anybody know of a great tool like this?

The built in password protection in the HPLX is weak.  There is a
program on SUPER that can attack such files and break the protection.

If you want strong protection look at setting up an encrypted drive
using SecureDevice, also on SUPER, and store your sensitive databases
on that drive.

The answer is `yes', via a PC, perhaps needing to do some PC software,
but `no' if you want to do it directly.

There is apparently no `physical' problem with the 200lx talking to
a REX in principle, but IIRC some smart folks here (not me) took
a look and decided that it would be a _big_ job to do the software
to get the HP to talk directly to the Rex.

I use a simple DBF browser I found on Simtel (I think) by the same name of DBV
(archived as dbv123.zip). It does a capable job of simple viewing, but probably
lacks the added features you mention (subsets are out of the question, as is
quick search, tho it can do limited searches and edits). The program only takes
up about 57k, but more importantly to me, it works with the more standard DBF
format. It's freeware.

I also use a tool called Convert (also from Simtel, convr803.zip ... more
freeware) that is amazingly flexible in doing conversions between CSV, DBF, WKS
and text files organized in simple column formats. Not a cinch to use tho...be
warned..looks like the guy wrote for the mainframe once <g>.

He is using MaxDOS to load acCIS or Post (I assume from SysMgr), then using
MaxDOS again to load LXPGP, and coming up short on memory when PGP tries to
execute.

Am I correct in that the first use of MaxDOS, it swaps to disk to give the
largest possible shell, but the second use simply creates a shell from the
available memory, and does not swap to disk a second time?

I never ran into this problem as I ran DOSShell or Software Carousel and
always had enough ram to run the email program first, then using MaxDOS only
to run LXPGP (really PGP, it's the hog.. :)

Any suggestions on how to make this work?  I'm not sure how much ram accCIS
and Post take up, but LXPGP is 74K and PGP is 300K (IIRC) so 374K required
just to do the Encryption.  Given a 600K MaxDOS session, no problem, but
assuming MaxDOS behaves the way I described earlier, that means 600K - 300K
(accCIS,/Post, a guess) - 74K - 300K = not enough ram.  Which is as I
believe it happens, as LXPGP itself can run, but PGP fails when it is time
to encrypt.

Thanks, I'd really like to make this work for him!  And would really like to
figure out why PGP can't see it's keyfiles in its own directory that PGPPath
is also set to, but that's another story.  :)  (BTW, putting them in the
LXPGP directory, separate from PGP.EXE and the PGPPath setting, works!
However, my setup LXPGP is separate from PGP and the keyfiles are in the
same directory as PGP and the PGPPath setting and works.  Weird..)

Pardon me if this had been hashed over before,
I just got a new Iomega catalog in the mail, and it shows the "clik!"
drive
(unfortunate name for an Iomega product) with a PCMCIA adapter.
You don't suppose.... probably not.  However, it would be very
smart of them if it appeared as a regular ATA device so no special
drivers would be required on Win9x machines.

If it is possible to let it run via a batch file, you can include the line

copy /b *.* nul
if errorlevel 0 goto backup
goto abort

this would check the file for "copyability". If a file is corrupted, it
would abort with an errorlevel (I don't know the real ones, the mentioned
ones are only examples). Right?

I'm working on this notepad sort and have about got it with some good ideas
from lots of folks. Jorgen came up with an elegant solution that I am working
on now.

My stumbling block is with a SysMgr macro. I am returning to the Notepad and
hitting F3 to open the note full-screen. Then I am trying to trap
Shift-Ctrl-End so I can highlight and delete the original note field contents.
For some reason, the macro recorder won't trap the Shift; all I get is Ctrl-End
and nothing gets selected. Is there another way to skin this cat?

Can you manually edit the macro once recorded, and insert manually the
desired SHIFT key?  I've had similar problems in the past with the
macro recorder, and have ended up editing my macro manually.

No, I tried that. I tried this {Shift}{Ctrl+End} and {Shift+Ctrl+End} and both
give syntax errors. You can't even get Shift to show up when you use the key
recorder.

I have called the people at Franklin about the Rex communicating
with an HP 200. Apparently the software (can't remember the
name right now), only works with windows software and not
DOS based machines (nice way to make people buy
new HP palmtops with Microcrap CE).

As far as know, If your using NT, you 'have' to use this
cradle device they sell instead of the PCMCIA slot.
Win 95, and I guess 98 you can use the slot.

This situation makes to impossible to use the 200lx with
the Rex directly. If anyone knows otherwise, PLEASE
WRITE about it. I would love to know how.

OK, I got it now. Since I run Buddy, I didn't see that little "Clear" above the
F4 button. (Buddy makes you press it twice so you won't inadvertently delete a
note.)

Thanks to Jorgen, this is how my notepad note field sorter works:

1st Macro
1) Opens a notepad note field and exports the text to c:\tosort.txt
2) Closes record
3) Goes to Application Manager
4) Runs sortnote.exm (which drops to DOS and runs sortnote.com; created with
EXMBATCH)

Sortnote.com (Generated with ADDKEYS.COM)
1) Goes to C:
2) Goes to root of C: (CD\)
3) Sorts file: sort <tosort.txt >sorted.txt
4) Deletes tosort.txt
5) Types Exit to go to SysMgr
6) Types Ctrl-Memo to go to Notepad
7) Types Fn-F2 to run Macro 2

2nd Macro
1) Reopens notes field of same record
2) Clears old text
3) Inserts the text from c:\sorted.txt
4) Closes record

Note: HPLX DOS 5.0 in ROM does not include SORT.EXE. I grabbed it from an old
set of DOS 5.0 upgrade disks.

The problem with USB on the palmtop would be getting drivers
for a 80186 running DOS.  And I doubt there is any DOS
software that is USB-aware.  As far as I know, USB is only
supported by Windows 95/98, and NT, I suppose.

If I recall the Macro recorder could catch MOST but not all key

could not be edited.  Once edited, it "dissolved!"   The key being a
perfect entry that does not ever need editing.  I really don't recall
all of the details, but selecting text I think was one of the
problematic sequences.

It seems to work with my German 200LX. In SysMgr macro '{Ctrl+End}'
without Shift is captured - but it works.I did not change 'sticky
keys' behaviour: Ctrl is not sticky, Shift and Fn are sticky.

For Macro recording I entered Shift (press & release) and
Ctrl+Fn+right arrow (press together and release all).
If Shift is active before you enter the sequence, you might deselect
Shift.

Has anyone got the REX working with linux yet?? (it's probably just a matter
of time...) If so, there is hope, as software could possibly be ported to
DOS.  There's no physical reason why it wouldn't work.

I plan to get a larger Flash card for my 100lx (I'm using a 1.8Mb SanDisk at

Subject:      Word Processing commands in notes?
MIME-Version: 1.0

Does anyone know if there's a list of word processing commands for HPLX
notes? I can't find this information in the 200LX manual but maybe I'm
not looking in the right place so sorry in advance if this stuff is
actually in there!

I figured out the following by trial and error:-

Fn-home goes to start of a line.
Fn-end goes to the end of a line.
Fn-Page Down jumps forward one screen at a time.
Fn-Page Up jumps back one screen at a time.
Ctrl-del deletes a whole line (or press shift and down arrow to select a
whole line and then press delete).
Ctrl-right arrow jumps one word to the right.
Ctrl-left arrow jumps one word to the left.

But what about:-

1. Is there a command to delete whole words?
2. Is there a command to jump to the end of a long note?
3. Is there a command to jump to the beginning of a long note?
4. Any other useful commands for use in notes?

(I currently do (2) by several Fn-Page Downs and (3) by several Fn Page-
Ups).

I'd like to know the above commands (if they actually exist) to help me
manage a long note (a list of my "master to do's") in the HP200LX to do
function.

Thanks

All of these are described in the built-in help in the LX. The catch is
that they are described in the Memo help, not in the NoteTaker help.

They are also fairly "standard". Most of them will work in Microsoft Word
and similar word processors/editors too.

BTW. there is really no such thing as "Fn-home", it is in fact just
"home", which is made by pressing "Fn-Left arrow".

> 1. Is there a command to delete whole words?

No, AFAIK not in Memo/NoteTaker/SysMgr. The quickest is probably
Ctrl-Shift-Right arrow followed by Del.

> 2. Is there a command to jump to the end of a long note?

"Ctrl-Fn-Right arrow" (the same as Ctrl-End) will jump to the end of the
current note, just as it will jump to the end of the current file in Memo.

> 3. Is there a command to jump to the beginning of a long note?

Do as above, but use Left arrow/Home instead.

The 200LX does everything I need except draw.  I'm looking for
something simple, like the drawing tools in Word or Powerpoint --
just some lines, boxes, circles, and text.  It has to be vector-based,
not pixel-based, and I don't want anything CAD-like.  Digital Research
had GEM in the few years before Windows took over the world, and GEM
Draw was exactly what I now need.  Can anyone help with ideas for
software?  Thanks.  Lester.

For going to the end or beginning of a note use:

  Ctrl-Fn-End
  Ctrl-Fn-Home

If anyone knows a command to delete words, I would love to know
it too.

I didn't keep any articles regarding the recent thread on
sorting notes, but recall the System Macro approach was stuck
at trying to include {Shift} in the routine.

Have you considered using the full screen Note (F3) command
followed by the Save As (F2) command?  I can see that if you
have header or footer information you might not want the
whole thing sorted, but maybe if that informtion is constant
it can be stripped out immediately prior to sorting (i.e.,
after saving as an interim text file).

First of all, dear Stephan, please take the time and edit the
email you want to reply to. Only cite the relevant part!

If you want to make a phone call in Germany, you now have the
possibility to use another provider than the ex-monopolist
TELEKOM. You do so by predialing a 5 numer code which
identifies the privat provider you want to use. Dependent on
the day and time of day, you may save up to 80% of costs.

LXTEL always tells you, which of the several new providers is
actually the cheapest. LXTEL reads the date and time and then
uses its database LXTEL.DAT to do a ranking of all providers.
This is done in real time indeed. That is, as long as LXTEL is
running, it constantly checks, if a new ranking has to be done.

While I admit that my look at this a while back was only cursory
(and therefore may be incorrect) I did look at this enough to
discourage me from going any further.

My conclusions were that while there was no particular difficulty
involved in speaking to the `hardware' of the Rex, the software was
quite another matter.

Part of the Rex's `charm' and `power' come from the tight integration
of the data on the device with the data in the PC system(s) that the
device is connected to. While I was quite convinced that I would---
after some investigation---be able to decode the major components of
the data structure, it was not at all clear to me that I would ever
be able to change that data in a way that would keep all of the data
structures consistent.

YMMV, of course.

I have a question re the search and replace function in either

replace string?

What I want to do is replace "text:" with "text: <cr>" so that the
following words end up on the next line.  I can reformat this type of
file easily on the PC in a word processor, but I'm trying to reformat
some transcripts on the HP to a narrower width so I can read them
with the fonts zoomed.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

I don't think you're going to find a vector based drawing program that
isn't CAD-like, most drawing programs like those in word processors
produce raster images.  Because of a need for CAD on the 200LX, I'm
running AutoCAD R10, but you'll need at least 5-6 megs of RAM.

Use copy and paste, to paste two lines of text into the replace field
of the search/replace dialog - it will only accept the first line
without the cr.

This prooves: it can't be done that way :-(

Hi, Daniel again,

first: thanks to all who have answered my questions about (compact)
flash cards. But:

Now I read a few messages here from people asking about drivers for
flash cards...

Do _I_ need a driver for my HP 200 LX if I use a (maybe Sandisk) flash
card or CF-card with adaptor?

GTX
Daniel.

Nope.  Not for the 200LX.  The driver is needed on the 100LX for some
cards.

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

Hi,

I've just received my upgraded double speed 64MB HP200LX from Thaddeus and
this thing really flies. Mind you the 64M is filling up fast!!!

One thing I'm trying to do is load Windows3 in a Software Carousle workarea
but am having problems.
1) the screen goes blank
2) the control + number key bleeps
3) when ever I now switch to any other work area it's a blank screen,
 until I do something to refresh/repaint the screen.

I guess it's a windows screen driver or the way windows directly adresses the
screen? Has anybody got windows to work under SC or any tips/helps?

As an asside on the backup side of things: I back up using a batch file,
PKZipping to a 20MB flash using the command:

PKZIP -ex -o -p -P -r -u -w a:\backup.zip c:*.*

ex=extra compression
o=the file the latest file to be added date
p=path
P=specific path
r=recurse the paths
U=update
whs=hidden and system files

This is then run via a |c:1backup.bat appointment every sunday night.

All the best

Dave

Hi,

me again!!

I watched the sandisk site and found a picture of a compact flash card
inside the PCMCIA-Adaptor. It seems to me that the CF-card with adaptor
would be bigger than a PCMCIA-card. is this right???? Doesn't this
combination fit totally into the slot of the 200 LX??

Thanks

david:

Can you send me some instructions (off list if appropriate) for how you
setup to run Acad R10?  I have a copy of R10, that I used to run on my
old XT.  I would *love* to get it running on my 200LX.  I have a double
speed machine, w/32MB RAM and a 160MB Flash.  As this is almost better
than my XT (except for the floating point processor), I likely have
the resources for this.  How do you deal with the floating point
processor matter?

Thanks, and in eager anticipation,

David,

A CF in its adapter is exactly the same size as a PCMCIA card.  No difference.

It fits the 200 lx nice and snug, I have a sandisk with the adapter and
it never falls out of hp or anything else like that.
Just remember you do need the adapter
which is literally not available in Canada. - you have to buy
the $15 dollar device and pay 45 just to ship it.

Generally speaking, you want SRAM cards, not flash EEPROM.  A helpful
spotter's tip is that SRAM cards usually have a battery compartment
(which holds a coin cell inside the card; the coin cell keeps the
memory contents intact in the absence of external power), and flash
cards typically don't (as they don't need the power source to retain
data).  They may also have two recessed switches, one which is
actually a latch to hold the battery holder on (so it won't be pulled
out accidentally), and one which is a write-protect switch.

> and, what is the largest amount of RAM possible on those cards?

The largest I've seen is 2MB, and I think I remember discussion of
very expensive 4MB cards at the time (1991/1992).  Since then, well,
flash EEPROM cards rapidly achieved higher capacities and lower cost
per MB and so I really haven't kept up.

Hee. Hee. Look at these "Iomega Click of death" web pages about alleged
problems
with the Iomega products, colloquially called the "click of death".
(My two zip drives have been just fine, in my small experience).

It just strikes me funny that they would call their new product "Click".

The name "click of death" applies to the failing of the Iomega Zip drive
when its  track-reading heads fail, and go into a pattern of extending and
withdrawing to try and re-locate a sector it is unable to read. This
searching by the heads gives rise to repeated "clicks", which leads to the
"click of death" tag.

The noise is very disconcerting, as it is a very dramatic indicator that
you are no longer able to access the Zip drives that you have been using
for data storage, back-ups, transfers from machine ot machine, etc. I am
speaking from personal experience - my unit worked perfectly for two years,
then one morning suddenly died like a gun-slinger in a shootout.

It appears that a major problem is that there is no method of cleaning the
heads, so once they're dirty enough not to be able to read tracks properly,
they're dead.

Apparently this is a major, world-wide problem. I have read that the newer
units are more prone to failure than the older, due to a decrease in
quality control. A common comment is something like "...I loved my unit
when it worked, but would never get one again" and that sort of thing.

Be warned! i would advise against purchasing one unless you're prepared to
accept a "half-life" of (I don't know the figures) say, 2 years. By the
way, the warranty is (in Australia) 1 year.

Older Sandisk (Sundisk/ HP/ Epson etc) ATA flash cards work in the 95lx
using a special software driver (which I have).  This may even work for
newer SanDisk cards, though I think you may be limited to 20 or 30 Mb
because of the older DOS version (3.22)

Ian, there is NO multi-tasking performed with SysMgr!!! It
is a simple task-switcher just like hundreds of others
available in DOS and just like SC is.

I never open databases in more than one SC WA. I had

have SysMgr open in one WA, and not in any others! Saves
lots of destroyed databases and aggravation.

Not exactly. The reason Post/LX calls Memo is because in
SETUP for Post/LX this is what is entered in the EDITSM
field. There is no reason why not chage the field from Memo
to PE, the same as the other editor line is.

Of course, you may easily run out of memory! Look: SysMgr
at 130K, some TRS at say 10K, buffers and file handles and
static memory, and then WWW.EXE - all this amounts to
enough to make it impossible to give PE its 180K or
whatever it needs. I give it all I can when I run it. And I
do not run it inside System Manager.

Not at all. I press Fn= to copy into the clipboard in
Post/LX, then go to another SC Workarea, press Alt-F3, then
to Database, and paste the email into a note in a record of
GDB.

So very much like cut and paste, wih one single added key,
Alt-F3 to load up the clipboard in the second WA.

Ouch! I looked into exactly this point. HP is about as
useful as the melted yellow snows of the rockies. I weent
looking all over for such a driver, including Mitsumi who
seem to be somehow involved with this CD-Rom drive. I found
exactly nothing! I.e. no driver, i.e. no Win 98 nor WNT!

I remain in W95 and just make sure it is stable and resolve
whatever little dumb problems it has currently and leave it
be and working for the next few years! It serves me well,
and I saw nothing in W98 that I need, and WNT was
interesting for some specific application.

Sorry, no good news...

I used interlnk and intersvr. I implement it so intersvr
runs in the palmtop and interlnk is loaded on the desktop
as a DEVICE= in its CONFIG.SYS.  I found it to work better
for me. I get to use the desktop's keyboard and screen.

Speeds are so-so, about 50,000 bits per seocnd.

Installation is extremely finicky and takes some doing
until it works.

a small comment: People use SMC (System Manager Compliant)
to denote the use of GUI. Well, this ain't so! SMC are .EXM
programs, and they _DO NOT_ have to have the GUI used by
the System Manager. There are programs that are indeed SMC
(i.e. .EXMs), but do not use the GUI. Example: Accis.EXM
version 3.1a is an EXM but its GUI is indeed ugly (but
functional!) certainly not the GUI you are used to.

SMC, or System Manager Compliant means the program is an
EXM program. Post/LX is not, nor is PE etc. They are just
DOS programs that use the PAL library (Thank you Gilles
Kohl for coordinating the best and the brightest to put it
together) to make the GUI easily available.

Yes, exactly.=20

I just want to add that you can use=20

 pe.exe $f $h

and it will open the headers of the message you are working
on as well. I sometimes use it.=20

In general PE will open whatever you tell it, so in DOS
type:=20

 pe c:\*.* will open EVERYTHING - not really advisable...=20

I use it to do this:=20

 pe a:\dasoft\webpage\*.htm

and it opens all the HTML files I keep on the palmtop for
editing. F7 will move from one file to the next. Also:
Menu, View, Open File List will show you what's open in a
pull down and you can move quickly to the desired file.=20

PE uses disk files for its editing, so the limit is only
how much space is on the drive. I regularly edit our
hitlist (www.dasoft.com), a file about 3MB is size. I
sometimes open the 10 I have on the palmtop all at once on
the big A: drive. Works quite well and fast. Saving takes
some time of course, PE needs to collect all the file
pieces and write them to one coherent place :) ... I found
it to be no worse than any other file operation of this

Tim,

I can align myself with much of what you say. I do not want
to spend lots of money and would love to see small programs
do A LOT.

There are some realities in the way. Some good programs
cost money, plain and simple, as do good gadgets. If you
smoke and wuit, you'll save more in one year than the cost
of good programs and a decent palmtop. (I have no idea if
you smoke, actually, I just want to put things in
perspective...)

I also want to set something right: Multitasking does not
exist (in practicality) on the palmtop. Multi-tasking vs.
Task switching are two terms frequently confused as you
did. Task switching means that the operating system stops
one program from running (a task) and switches its
attention and resources to another program. The first
program is simply NOT running, although not dead
(terminated).

Multitasking means that the operating system watches over
what program 1 is doing, and when it makes sense (or based
on various other schemes) it "steals the cpu from program 1
and gives it to program 2. And then back to Pgm 1, and then
2 etc. Of course, other programs can participate in this
"stealing".

Let me contrive an example: ? programs, each running a
batch file that just performs DIR command over and over
again. Let's say you set up the screen so you have 1/3
devoted to each program.

In multi-tasking, you'd see each 1/3 progressing almost all
the time (probably slower depending on the machine of
course).

In task-switching you'd see one of the directories display,
then the next, then the next, then back to the first. While
the second task was running, task #1 and task #2 were
standing still!

You can also try this on the palmtop: in Datacomm, try to
download something, and as soon as it starts, press
Phonebook. The download will stop cold! Maybe even the
communications will break. In multi-tasking, the O/S would
steal some of the cpu's attention and give it to the
download task while phonebook was just waiting for you to
type something.

So, SC and SysMgr are both task-switchers, not
multi-taskers. So that is not an advantage.

Secondly, SysMgr takes a ton of memory to run and when you
run an EXM inside it, it does not disappear! So the memory
available to run tasks under SysMgr is limited, about 300K.
SC lets you run much larger programs.

It may sound trite, but if you want to program some
function in a program you need to use code, and code takes
room, and the more funtion there is the more memory it will
take. Yes, many programs from that Programming Foundry in
the Norht (Redmond, WA) prove the opposite (they take more
memory and provide less functionality) but that is an
abnormality <G>...

So this is also reality: EXMs are limited to 64K of code
space if I am not mistaken. So there is only so much
funtion you can jam into this size program, no matter how
good and brilliant the programmer is. (I imagine that a 64K
program from the North could just start, say Hi, and die
<G>...)

You will find utilities and small scale programs
implemented as EXMs, but not anything significant such as
TCP/IP engine with email, for example.

So the advantage of EXMs shrinks - no significant works can
be implemented.

Then comes the programming of EXMs: Quite complex, and you
can code only in C or maybe in Assembler - if you love
punishment. And you have to deal with SysMgr crazinesses
etc. Programmers don't like to be hemmed in, and EXMs do
that to programmers. So EXMs are not supported by many
programmers, i.e. not many programs, i.e. EXMs are not an
advantage there...

Next comes the Menu in AppMgr. It limits you to 32 or 37
icons. Sure you can use AppMgr extenders (available on
SUPER from our very gifted brethern in Japan!) but now you
run another layer with SysMgr, and that limits you memory
even more. So this advantage is shaky, if not fallen.

Anyway,... I hope this helps you and other put some
framework around that argument of which is "better" EXMs or
EXEs. Thanks for providing the platform for me to reply to.

Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

My one and only flash card is a SUNDISK SDPL5-10 10MB card
which I bought in 1993 and I use it in my 95, 100 and 200LX.
It came with an additional ROM card for use in the 95LX. If I
want to use the flash card in the 95LX, I first have to insert
the ROM card and reboot to load the drivers. Then I replace the
ROM card through the Flash card and everything works fine.
The card needs no drivers on the 100LX or 200LX.

I'm well aware of that Avi, that's why i put the term in quotation marks :)
Still, without exm's, task switching/swapping would not have been possible
on the 95/100/200LX running plain old DOS apps unless one had a specialized
utility (like SC or Dosshell).

How large a card are you planning to use? I use a 40MB Sandisk
card in my 100LX and do not need any extra drivers. However,
cards from other manufacturers may need drivers in the 100LX.

JKIT is a commercial software.  As such, the first thing you should do
is to contact the customer service of its supplier, Okaya Systemware.
There service is good.

Okay... I have the EM87 driver, and have copied my rel 10 files over
to the palmtop.  My first attempt has failed, and it looks like a
video driver problem.  I configured the display for IBM Color Graphics,
which I *presume* is CGA.  But the screen looks like garbage when I
run the program.

How have my fellow palmtop/draftsmen configured their displays?

another such utility is System Manager, BTW! There are
probably 50 or more such that I have seen over the years
while digging in SIMTEL.

Yehuda, depends on the printer. Some of the very
inexpensive and new ones are depending on the computer they
connect to to provide all the "brains", i.e. also a two way
connection (duplex) with the computer. Palmtop is not
capable of this without a driver, which does not exist as
far as I know. Other models work fine. I am not sure about
your specific type and model.

All the signs are there: Blast, hi tech, higher than
average intelligence, manifest-capable writing ability,

I'm shocked that you doubt the civility of Las Vegas.  Everybody knows all

On a different note, I've never been *able* to really do much in another
SysMgr WA, seems if I attempt to open another hotkeyed program the original
SysMgr is switched to and opens it.

Such as opening two 1-2-3 files as I'd like to do occationally, I open my
file in the first SysMgr, switch to a shell, fire up another SysMgr, hit
1-2-3 and wham, I'm back in my first SysMgr.

Am I missing something?

No, it fits without any problem (I have the Viking 32MB CF Card). It is

Hi, Russel.
I just use Diet v1.45f (if I recall correctly) for the following reasons:
*It's easy to use (simple, built-in help when you type "diet").
*It has built-in decompression.
*If you run it resident, you can compress/decompress data files.  Then it
can be unloaded resident.  This allows you to run batch files where Diet
is loaded, your compressed program and its data files are loaded and run,
then Diet is unloaded.  So you don't use up memory unless you need to use
Diet.  The self-extracting .EXE and .COM files do not require Diet loaded
resident.
*It's pretty fast and transparent when .EXE and .COM files are
uncompressed before running.  Programs don't take noticeably longer to
load, particularly when run from the C: drive, where compression is the
most useful.
*It's FREE!

Cheers.

Why not just run GEM Draw on your 200LX?

Take a look at: http://web.mit.edu/wslee/MOSAIC/

There you will find instructions on how to load GEM on your 200LX,
screenshots of how it looks on a 200LX, and links to pages where you can
download free copies of GEM plus all the different desktops and various GEM

If you look at the headers of this message you will see that it
originated on a machine on freenet.nether.net, whatever that is, from
someone running PINE. This is a blantant attempt to use my name for

Some more information on the theft of my identity. I telneted to the
IP address in the header of the bogus mail and it is a FreeBSD box. I
was able to log into the account since the idiot that is trying to
slander me used my own last name as the passwd. Anyone that wants to
is welcome to telnet to 204.42.253.18 and log in as petey with the
password of borders. You might also want to look at the mail which
shows that this person JUST joined the mailing list, obviously to
commit fraud by trying to use my identity. I see that a few people
replied to that account, jsut remember you are talking to a FRAUD who
is attempting to STEAL my good name.
I will post any further information that I find.

Peter W. Borders

PS. It strikes me as very coincidental that just last week I was
having an arguement on this list about the email virus hoax post and
suddenly, on this same list my name is being misused. I subscribe to
many lists and only on this one has this happened.

Also, I would like the like admin to please remove this bogus poster
from the list since they are using a FALSE name and I wouldn't think
the list admin would like to support that sort of thing.

I just picked up a beat up HP100LX with intellisync software
and cable at my upscale pawn shop for $65. Unfortunately, I can't
use it because it won't read my 30M compact flash card with all
my apps and data on it, I was intending to use it as a "loaner" while
getting my HP 200LX fixed. I think if you don't use the PC slot it will
be fine unless you can figure out how to make it work. Also fine as
a basis for upgrading

Compared to the HP200LX, it only lacks Quicken in ROM on the
HP200LX

Lid latch doesn't latch, there 's a hole behind the battery
compartment, missing one corner screw, appears to be 1 or 2
dead lines on the LCD on the 1st line, otherwise you can read
everything, there's a layer of crud on the lid, but it appears the
previous owner was successfully using intellisync by Puma, and
it includes the software and cable.

I'm taking offers for both or individually, starting bids are $100
for the HP 100LX (box and both manuals and inserts), $125
automatically gets it

and
$20 for cable and link software. (comes with
slightly torn box and full manuals), $30 gets  it.


After this week it goes up on ebay.

In my book he is substancially lower than a jerk, trying to blacken
my name should be illegal and if I was physically able to get ahold
of him he would be very sorry.

A further update, someone keeps trying to log into this bogus account
from koala.scott.net, which is a linux box that identifies itself as
scott network services. THey just logged in and started IRC but I
stopped them.

This question got me thinking, having recently played with KEY200 in D:\BIN
I tried defining a keyboard remapping entry for Shift Del which deleted the
next word to the right and it worked I cannot think of anything else that
uses Shift Del but there probably is, in which case the definition may have
to change but here is the KEY200 definition for anyone that wants to
experiment:

Shift Del : Ctrl Shift Right Right Shift Ctrl Del Del

For those not familiar with KEY200 there is a help file (KEY200.TXT) in
D:\BIN, but all you need to do is to create a text file with the above line
in it (KEYDEFS.TXT for example) and then in your AUTOEXEC.BAT add the line:

D:\BIN\KEY200 C:\KEYDEFS.TXT (Or whatever filename & path you chose).

There is one limitation, you have to release the Shift and Del key after
each word is deleted, but a little more work on the key mapping definition
may get round this. Anyone got any ideas? It would be better if you could
just hold down Shift and press Del for each word to delete.

I wonder why I never thought of this before, I've always wanted to delete
the next word in Memo.

Ditto on that.  Always scary when one's shell account gets hacked.. more so
because I'm on hplx.net. <g>

In any case, stealing one's identity is a heinous act in a forum where our
identities are our being.  It is saddening to know that the perpetrator is
likely among us.

On the brighter side, if you haven't visited www.hplx.net in a while, you're
in for a treat.  I completely reorganized the place about two weeks ago.
It's purty. :)

Has anyone been able to translate Adobe documents onto the HP200LX?  I
suppose they have to be converted into a text file but I have been
unable to do this successfully.  Assistance would be greatly
appreciated.

The problem is when you boot from a floppy, and then work on another
floppy then sometimes DOS will need command.com and ask you to reinsert
the first floppy. On the LX, the built-in DOS is in ROM (even when booting
from A), and thus always available, so this problem doesn't occour.

If you _really_ want to see the phenomenon (though I cannot imagine why),
you can take command.com from a regular DOS distribution, place it on your
flash card, and then add the line

SHELL=A:\COMMAND.COM

to your config.sys, and the line

SET COMSPEC=A:\COMMAND.COM

to your autoexec.bat

Then go reboot, to C: and remove the flash card and sooner or later it
should complain about a missing COMMAND..COM.

This is how I remember it anyway, but it's been a _long_ time since I
worked on a DOS system without a harddrive :-)


Cheers,

Laust

As part of my beta test for Rod Whitby, I have placed a spare palmtop on the
local ethernet running his new ftp server. I have placed all onsite files in
the SUPER Top 20 in a directory called c:\lxtcp\top20. If you want to give it a
try, here's the URL:

ftp://buckcreek.palmtop.net/lxtcp/top20/

Let's see if it breaks. :)

Looks like it broke pretty quickly. Multiple requests seem to blow it up. I
have gotten several logins, but they always end on my end with:

repeated over and over...

Maybe Rod knows what's happendin. I'll leave it on for the time being.

Was anyone actually able to connect and get a listing (or even a
download) ?  Please reply if you did (a screen shot would be
excellent too).

:-)  It's great to see my beta testers giving my programs a thrashing!

The FTP server built into LXTELNET currently only accepts one
connection at a time, and if it gets two connections, it may or may
not lock up.

I'm currently looking into supporting up to 30 connections - by
setting a very small timeout (i.e. enough time for a single web FTP
listing or download) and making subsequent connections wait until the
first one has timed out.  This means that multiple listings will be
effectively able to intersperse, but a download will make all other
activity wait.

Note that this will take a while to implement ...

The next step would be to have multiple connections active (and
possibly multiple downloads active) at the same time.  This does not
seem to be impossible (up to a certain limit of simultaneous
connections, soft limited by the number "30" in the program, and hard
limited by the memory required to buffer ethernet packets) - but will
be yet another major increment in the development.  Don't expect this
one any time soon.

Like Mitch, I would love to see something.palmtop.net be a permanently
connected web-accessible (via the FTP protocol) HP200LX machine.

I bet you can't do this sort of stuff with a WinCE machine !  ;-)

You mean PDFs? If so then what's inside is essentially an object
oriented PostScript. If you can handle PostScript, then getting the
PDF into PostScript isn't very hard, but if you can't handle PostScript
you've got a long road to go before you'll be able to read PDF.

the two messages I sent to root@freenet.nether.net and his response

someone else.

Apple Laserwriters tend to be Postscript-only printers (though perhaps not
all).  The LX does not of itself generate Postscript, e.g. from the built-in
applications.  You could of course run applications that do produce
PostScript, and I'm sure there are all sorts of xyx2PS filters out there to
convert text files etc to Postscript.

I use DBV as well. Problem is, it wants a GDB format database, and I've not
found any tools for populating those databases that build the indices, which
means you have to start by loading the database into the HP's builtin app,
which puts a sharp limit on how large a database I can create.

I mentioned "by the same name of DBV", because the one on Simtel (dbv123.zip)
isn't the same as DBV on SUPER (the PAL program from Harry Konstas).

The one on Simtel, as I said, reads DBF, but lacks the quick find and other
options in the SUPER version of DBV.

Simtel/DBV's only advantage is in being able to do a minimal display of DBF
files (as far as I know, there's no practical limit on size), and has only
rudimentary search capability. DBF format is more widely supported than GDB.
And while Simtel/DBV lacks the power of DBase-3, it's small, quick and free.

There was a pcx printer driver I used some years ago. You simply print your
adobe document to this driver, give a filename, and it will create an exe or
pcx file. Have a look on simtel.net. It has to be there.

I will admit to downloading the book, but haven't gotten to that part
yet.  And I definitely haven't been charading around as someone else!

I have always been interested in the debate between people's desire for
anonymnity on the internet versus the desire to be known.  For example,
my ISP doesn't allow finger requests from outside our system, yet I
want people to be able to find me!  After speaking with the administrators
of our ISP, it appears that I'm in the minority.  I was also surprised
to learn how many women get targeted by weirdos on the internet just
because their account name/info identifies them with a female name.
Now this twist to the issue - someone intentionally pretending to be
not just anonymous, but another person!  I guess this debate will
go on forever...

I might ask them if it costs $$$$ or just $$$.  I suspect the former given

Somehow, I doubt my book is responsible, especially since the part that
details use of nether.net only comes from the second half, which has had
limited distribution.  I am happy to provide the logs to you. Let me know.

Still, what would the logs prove?  The perp didn't come from nether.net.

I would help finance the cost of the SDK if you do the

For those of us interested in getting synchronisation
between Outlook and
the HP200LX, I see that Puma (makers of Intellisync) are now
marketing the
SDK:

I might ask them if it costs $$$$ or just $$$.  I suspect
the former given
the market they are seeking.

Subject:      more than 640 KB DOS memory ?
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT

I want to know if there is any way to give the HP200LX more when
640KB of DOS memory.

I know from XT assemblerprogramming, that the 80186 can only
address 1MB of memory. The 640KB limit come from historical
reason, because conventionally the VGA video memory is inserted
at 0xA0000. And 0 to 0xA0000 make 640KB.
Because the HP200 has neither got VGA or Hercules graphic
facility, theoretically the DOS memory could reache to 0xb8000
(there CGA video memory starts) - that would make 736KB of
memory.

I know that special assembler programms can make the rest of the
2MB of memory appeare as EMS not only as DISK and that DOS
can deal with more than 604KB (for example in XT times there were
special memory boards and drivers to expand DOS memory to
736KB if no VGA is installed).

Is something like that possible on the HP ?

HP has the updated SCSI driver on their site - go to the Omnibook
800 pages (before they pull them; they've just announced the
Omnibook 900). They also have info about running the OB800 on
Win98; basically, update the SCSI driver and make sure you have
the latest BIOS (2.01). BTW - the Omnibook 800's CD-ROM drive
(F-1197A) is OEMed from Matsushita/Panasonic (compare to their
783). Ths SCSI controller is from Symbios. An Omnibook mailing
list is available through an email to Charlie Smith
(omni-req@elektro.cmhnet.org).

WAAAYYY Off Topic:

I've always ignorantly thought of the OB series of HP computers as just
laptop computers.  From what I've been hearing from the few posts, it
must have something special going for it.  Can someone e-mail me
privately and espouse some of the benefits of the OB computers as
compared to an ordinary laptop computer?  I may be in the market for
one in a few months, and would like to stick with HP, if they have
a good product (and haven't abandoned their market, as they have
with the palmtop computers!).

Actually this is a relatively common occurance. Personally I strongly
dislike the idea of "screen names" and other false names for
accounts. I have never been able to find a reason, except deceiption,
for using a false name. You aren't allowed a false name on your
drivers license, or your phone listing, or anywhere else in the real
world so why this desire to have a false name in the electronic
world, unless it is to mislead or enter into practices that are
considered wrong by the majority.

If a correlation between someone that downloaded the book and the
person that created the bogus account on nether.net was found that
would certainly prove something to me at least. Of course with the
less than helpful attitude of the sysop at nether.net I wouldn't
expect much help from them.

I've gone over the logs that Davis Chapel sent me, and it appears that the
same person who cracked my site (assuming the IP address he left in the

trying to get in touch with the owner of that IP right now.  I'm now
pretty much convinced that the guy read this book, and decided to try some

Looks like we have a copycat hacker in our midst.  Too bad; our little

Hi,

does anyone know how I can configure the German version of Windows 3.0
on my German 200 LX this way, that I can type in the typically German
special letters like the "AE" etc.? Also the "shifted" numbers don't
give me the ">","<" and so on, but THERE are the "AE"s and "UE"s...

Thanks,
Daniel.

Hi an alle deutschsprachigen LX-user,

wie kann ich unter Windows 3.0 die deutschen Sonderzeichen eingeben?
Fn-A liefert bei mir z.B. einfach nur das A (anstatt "AE"), Fn-S nur
ein S. Und die Sonderzeichen im "geshifteten" Ziffernblock sind auch
nicht die richtigen. Stattdessen finden sich _dort_ ein paar Umlaute.

Vielen Dank,
Daniel.

Yes, that's true.  I sent the logs to David Sargeant.  I don't what exactly he
can look for, unless he knows the original place from where the perp came.
There were no "nether.net" logins.

Thanks.  That's comforting.  Still, it's unnerving to think my handiwork
might've inspire this.  I would need proof, to believe it is more than
coincidental, though.

The very reason I had written nether.net into the story, not only because it
is local to the actual region where my plot takes place, is that it IS a
freenet.  One that does not check any new user information, and thus prone to
this phenomena.  The owner has truly had visits from the FBI, Secret Service
and others for people like my villain.  I checked all the details of my story
very thoroughly, including several interviews with an FBI senior resident, a
US attorney and other key people involved in actual investigations upon which
the story is based.

Subject:      AutoCAD
Content-Type: text

First, let me holler my plea real loud:  HELP HELP HELP HELP!!!!!!

I've been digging through the archives on the subject of running
AutoCAD R10 on the palmtop, and found reference to a special CGA
driver that is needed.  I would *really* like to get a copy of
this driver, and perhaps arrange to get it posted to SUPER.

Anyway, also in the archives is mention of using the command
LXSTAT M G0 apparently as a substitute for this CGA driver.  I've
tried this, and it works to a point.  There are some quirks when
you try to change from text to graphics screens and back, but for
the most part it is functional.

PLEASE... whoever has this driver, or knows where I can get/buy
a copy, please contact me.

Now, I'll contribute some to the body of AutoCAD/Palmtop knowledge...

You *can* indeed run AutoCAD without a mouse.  My R10 manual has
a nifty table, that shows the required keys you need.  I'll reproduce
it below for all those palmtop-draftsmen wannabes:

AutoCAD         IBM or
Function        PS/2 Key
========        ========
CTRL            CTRL
Flip Screen     F1
Menu Cursor     INS
Screen Cursor   HOME
Abort Cursor    END
Fast Cursor     PGUP
Slow Cursor     PGDN
Up Cursor       UP
Down Cursor     DN
Left Cursor     LEFT
Right Cursor    RIGHT
Toggle Coord    F6 or CTRL-D
Toggle Grid     F7 or CTRL-G
Toggle Ortho    F8 or CTRL-O
Toggle Snap     F9 or CTRL-B
Toggle Tablet   F10 or CTRL-T

Comment:  The Fast/Slow cursor mode seems to have several levels
of operation.  Pressing PGUP once invokes a medium size cursor
step, pressing it again invokes an even larger step size, etc.
Ditto regarding PGDN, which invokes successively smaller cursor
step sizes.

After much searching, I have encountered sites on the Internet advertising
2MB cards for the Apple Newton.  Am I correct in assuming that these cards,
if they are type I, are compatible with the HP95LX?

Thanks!

Subject:      Hi and HELP!!!

Hi All,

I've been away and still am hard to access my work account w/ my
subscription please send files, mail, help to: ttraymond@hotmail.com.

Had a complete stoppage, due to powerloss bttys. I replaced the batteries
and it still wouldn't work.  THEN I gave it CTL-ALT-ON *AND* it didn't give
me the option of saying Y or N to the initialize RAM disk question! It went
right to "Initializing RAM Disk" and yes I lost some critical data.  I
*THOUGHT* my back-up was pretty thorough.  It seems that I went through my
laptop's HDD and said,  "I can delete some of this, it's on my PC card
memory"  Later, I thought, "Hmmm... Why waste EXPENSIVE PC Card memory, when
this is on my more cost effective HDD?"  Sigh.  I'll never learn.

I can rebuild most of the data, but the last 4 weeks' worth will be painful.

What I lost that I can't rebuild on the road is that I need the file setup
explained and emailed in a really simple form for me to reestablish:

 DoubleSpeed
 64MB RAM Thaddeus did both and
 SuperSoftware Carousel I left it in the Thaddeus default, where C: is your
BIG drive

I still have some data and I don't want to wipe out what's still there I
know some of the stuff didn't go away 'cause I was amazed by this after a
different loss.

I have a version of the SuperSoftware Carousel with me I think it's the one
with the version just BEFORE the 64 MB fix. And I really can't understand
what I've done with my speed and memory fix files.  I just had them I
thought.

I'd also appreciate any help from someone who's figured out the "best" back
up plan for such a configuration.  I'm not lazy, but I really want a no
brainer here one to two click back up AND one to two click restore.
Tuning and tinkering are out of the question 'til maybe May work *is* a
four letter word.

This is long; so I'll end here - TIA!!!!

I think I have a few of those, they are 2M SRAM cards and they worked
ok in my 200lx, can't say about the 95lx but SRAM cards are usually
more adaptable than flash ram cards.

It's *excellent*!  Thanks very much for a most useful idea.
From WordPerfect I'm used to Ctrl-Del for delete word and
Ctrl-End for delete to end of line, so I may play with this
some more.

Thanks Again,

As an ex-Newton user (okay... so I still have my OMP100) I can state that
the Newton cards were SRAM cards and will work quite happily in the 95LX.

Hello-

Sorry to bore you with this matter, but I am searching for a 200LX to
purchase or to trade for.  I am a certified techno-junkie when it comes to
handheld computing, owning everything from the first TI SR10 (I think
that was what it was called) to an LG Phenom.  In my the eyes, the true
Holy Grail is the HP LX series which I have never owned (I won't count
the Omnigo that I have).  If you have a 200LX for sale or trade, please
let me know.  Items I have for trade:

NEC Mobilepro 450 running (pardon the expression) Windows CE 1.0
including a 4 MB flash card

A Poqet Classic 512K computer

An Atari Portfolio handheld computer

Please help me in my quest.  Make me an offer.  Thanks for your attention.

-Glenn

I feel that whoever wrote that disgusting email and especially with the
intention to tarnish somebody else should be condemned and if possible
actions taken against him legally or otherwise.

I am surprise that our few outspoken members who normally have very strong
feeling about certain issues and using very strong words to defend/offend/be
sarcastic does not roundly condemn this jerk (or lower than a jerk as
someone puts it).

I hope more people should come out and show their disapproval. Send obscene
email is one thing. To impersonate is another.

I think this freenet organisation is totally irresponsible. How can they not
accept that their organisation had been USED by some unscrupulous people.
Most organisation of this kind usually have a warning regarding this kind of
misuse and will terminate the account on their own accord without having to
be informed.

Windows installs it's own keyboard driver. That means, the
mapping from scan code to ASCII character is defined in this
driver. Because the driver knows nothing of the Palmtop's Fn
key, it cannot produce the right ASCII characters.

But there are two work around:

1 - Use the old ALT-MENU-DECIMAL NUMBER method to enter any key
you like. To enter the 'umlaut' ae you have to hold down the
ALT and MENU key and then you have to enter 132 on the gray
number pad and release the ALT-MENU key. Look at an ASCII table
to find all decimal values for the characters you want to enter
or use my LXPRO program, which comes with a TSR ASCII table.

2 - You can patch the keyboard driver KEYBOARD.DRV if you know,
how to do it. I don't!

a) I had thought some of the LWs have PCL support, but when I tried naively

I know that this is off subject, but I know of no wiser & more helpful
people so TIA.

I have been trying to help a friend set up a new W98 box and connect to the
internet with the Rockwell based 56K modem.  It is behaving quite
perversely.  The AOL software finds the modem, connects, and downloads the
local phone numbers.  However, when we attempt to connect through the local
numbers, the two modems detect each other and start the protocol negotiation
but after approximately 60 sec, it always fails with a message that no
carrier was detected.  Similar things happen when we try to use MSN.
neither are my choices

This sequence was demonstrated to work for my friend in the store and other
computers work in her home.

Any ideas what is going on or what I could check?  Again, thanks.

Like many things in life anonymity has its good and bad sides.  The bad
side is being able to be malicious and probably get away with it.  The
good side is being able to present your opinions that could possibly be
dangerous to the real you.  A common example is discussions among
battered women; if their husbands/boy friends found out they could be in
real danger.  Also expressing opinions in a society where free speech is
denied.

Now that I've played the Devil's Advocate for anonymity I will say that
I do Not approve of deliberately use someone else's identity.  ID Theft
is becoming one of the big crimes against persons and law enforcement
is still learning how to deal with it.

smear FreeNet organizations in general.  Most of these are connected
with the public library system in their communities, and are generally
not havens for criminals and other low-lifes.  I serve in an unpaid
volunteer capacity on the advisory committee for our local freenet
(SEFLIN.ORG).

Well, the first part is true.  SEFLIN has a clearly stated policy
regarding abusive activities.  However, ISPs (freenet or otherwise)
aren't going to terminate an account without receiving complaints.
They don't (or at least SHOULDN'T) monitor private email traffic.

I am flattered, even if deluged, by the many many requests for my book, a.k.a.

Please understand, I did not remove it.  I have no control over the links on
the HPLX Unplugged site, managed by the person only going by the email
hplx@comports.com.  When asked why he removed it, I was only told that he
received some kind of threat because of it.  He is being vague, and I am glad
that my book no longer links from his page, to tell you the truth.

I don't know what is going on, exactly, but the book is now available at my
own web page:  http://www.homestead.com/davischapel

I can not distribute all of it in a public archive, due to a potential loss of
electronic rights. Those who want to see the ending will need to request it
individually.  (Ask my agent, she knows why it must be divided.)

Please, only e-mail me when requesting the last part.  I don't know anything

Has anyone tried to connect an EPSON Stylus Color printer to the
palmtop?

Usually these printers come with an Apple compatible serial interface
(RS422 or 423, X-ON/X-OFF, DTR-protocol, 8Bits, no Parity, 1 Start-
and 1 Stopbit).These printers still know the old Epson style commands
which are used by the HPx00LX 'Epson printer settings'.

If there is is interest, I can try to findout pin-layout.
Till now I don't know if RS232 and RS422 are electrically compatible.

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

Hi,

I have a very small 64K SRAM pcmcia.  I'd like to be able to read and
write to any byte on the card - treat it like a memory space, not a
file system.  Does anyone know of any utilities that can do this?  Or
do any of the programmer's tools have functions for doing this type
of thing?

BTW, it formats very nicely and becomes a very small storage space.  But
that's not quite good enough.  :)

Thanks!

I think so too. But I have the 700LX (the lx with the mobile phone access)
with built-in cc:mail mobile. and I cannot understand, why these guys did
include cc:mail and not a normal internet email software (or, please please,
does anybody know a way to access standard internet email via cc:mail
software?). I have normal pop3 and smtp access as used in post/lx and
nettamer. but i cannot use that with cc:mail!

i think, that every fax program on dos does a text2pcx conversion, doesn't
it? So if you try out one of the fax programs on the super site, have a look
at the temporary files. or perhaps you can save a fax to file et voila.

If you have access to the shell, you can use Qua-lx, I used it for about a
year and it worked, you may have to install uqwk on your providers system if
it isn't already installed (I had to). Good luck.... you would probably be
better off buying a copy of Goin' Postal by Steve Lawson or WWW/LX from D&A
Software for accessing the pop and smtp hosts via a ppp connection.

And just to reconfirm (since I've seen the ads about 2MB cards, which I
wasn't aware of) these 2MB cards for the Newton are SRAM and not FLASH?
The reason I ask again is that the individual selling the cards claims that
they're FLASH RAM cards.  However, I don't have any reason to give his
claims any credit--which is why I posted the question here.

Thanks again,

Newton supported SRAM cards AND LINIEAR FLASH cards. Almost all the flash
cards sold today that are used with handhelds, etc. are ATA flash cards
which mimic
a hard disk to the operating system they are attached to.  LINIEAR FLASH
cards are just
flash RAM without the ATA interface. To my knowledge the NEWTON is one of a
VERY
few devices which supported Linear Flash, but the 2mb cards sold by apple
were Linear
Flash IIRC.  A good way to check is if the card itself has a watch battery
backup then
its a SRAM card, if not its most probably Flash, or Liniear flash.

Also FLASH cards require a higher voltage to write than to read so the
system has to
be setup to support FLASH RAM writes which since FLASH didnt exist when the
95lx
came out (I have a 95lx) I doubt it supports FLASH RAM writes, so if it
reads it at all
it would be read only.

Hope this helps,

I can't say for sure what he has, but when I had my Newton MP120, I kept a
2MB genuine Newton _SRAM_ card in one slot and my X-Jack in the other. They
very well could be flash cards, but the ones I had were SRAM. You mau just
have to trust him. For what it's worth, mine were red, with the Newton
lightbulb logo in a gold color. Good luck!

Not to quibble. but Last I checked the Newton MP100, MP110, MP120, MP130 all
only
contained ONE Card Slot. Are you by chance talking about an MP2k. or MP2100?
as
they both have 2 card slots. its one of their selling points, and why they
are bigger.

hi,
I know remkey (remote keyboard)
     for using the keyboard of your PC for typing to your LX.

there is The newton Keyboard,

but can you use a terminal (VT100 or other)
for typing on your LX?

My MP120, if I remember correctly, had two slots. When holding the unit in
your hand it had one that was on the side and one on top..... I'm only
30,yrs old and can't remember stuff from 2 years ago <grin>. The OMP
(Original Message Pad) only had one slot to the best of my memory. I still
have my OMP, but it's boxed up and in storage. I'm gonna have to dig it out.
The coolest theing about the 110,120,130 was that it had an actual cover
that flipped down over the screen, whereas the OMP didn't. I never had a
130, but really wanted on because it had enough 'heap' memory to run the
packet driver and web browser on it. I tried it on my 120 but it would
always crash.

If there are any Newton users on the list (gasp!!) I have here in my hand a
copy of PocketCall by Ex Machina for the OMP that I would gladly give to
anyone that could make use of it, it's terminal emulation software for the
Newton and some of the earlier Casio units.

I have an OMP boxed up in the closet as well.  I had a 110 until it was
stolen
at a gas station (along with my calise case and my drivers license, etc.)
and
often drooled over the MP130 for its backlight and heap space.

The OMP / MP100 had no flip cover and one card slot.

The MP110 had a flip cover, more memory and one card slot on the top, and
newton OS v1.3


The MP120 was the same as the MP110 but more memory, and first came with
newton OS v1.3, then later with newton OS v2.0

The MP130 added more heap space, and a backlight.

The MP2000 was the first machine since the MP110 to use a new case and port
setup.   It included a new High Resolution screen with a great backlight, 2
card slots,
and more memory as well as a new version of Newton OS.

The MP2100 was an upgraded MP2000 with additional memory, and enough heap
space to pretty much eliminate it as a restriction on the system.   I
believe it had
1mb of Heap space.

The Emate was essentially a 4lb notebook running newton OS 2, with a builtin
keyboard
and wordprocessor for use in an educational setting.

I was a newton developer for a bit, although apple screwed all its
developers pretty good
when it axed the platform.

Its wierd, I had a 95lx before the newton, and a 100lx after the newton and
it felt like
coming home <g>  Although i still miss the handwritten note capabilities.

I think the OMP MP100 had the slot on the top. and they MP110/120/130 had
it on the side. making room for the pen to be inserted in the top of the
newer
newtons. I may have said top on the MP110 etc earler but i do think it was
on
the side now that i think about it. But definitely only one slot.

An olympic conclusion-jump! I ran SC for two years on a 5MB
200LX. It was not even double-speeded then. Sure 64M is
nicer (I don't use one), but you can even make so with a
2MB machine, but it is limiting. Th 1.3MB c: drive can
keep a Resource Pool with 3 WAs. I'd put all the data
(except c:\_dat) on the A: drive - it is safer anyway...

Could you kindly quote a minimum? For the one sentence
reply, there was no compelling need to quote my entire
message, even though it is a work of art! :) ...

I stand corrected! The stylus did go in the top on the 120 and on the side
in the OMP. I wonder why no one ever developed a program like Aloha for the
LX? Aloha was a email program for the Newt that would allow you to send and
receive America Online email, it was pretty slick as was the CIS Retriever
which allowed you to send and recieve Compuserve email and to send and
recieve posts to various forums.

What was the application that put what looked like a 'digital figure eight'
on the screen that you wrote on in a kind of shorthand? Taht was the best
app I ever used, I could literally enter info into the unit at an astounding
rate, in fact, I believe I could do it quicker than a could write with a pen
and paper! For note taking in class it was awesome. That would be a cool
little attachment that could be developed for the LX, it could be a small
little thing that could stick into the serial port and you write on it with
a stylus, it would have to be much bigger than about 1" X 1". Although I'm
exteremly adept at typing on the LX, I still think that would be quicker
than typing!

Since I've been asking so many questions, I'd thought I'd try and give a

Sony branded Magic Link 1 megabytes SRAM cards.  In case it's of interest
to anyone on the list the URL is http://www.tlai.com/ind_pro/sram.html

Thanks again to all on the list who've gone out of their way to be so helpful.

Ok, I was fooling around with my 100LX, and somehow I managed to delete
the Stacker directory, with stacker.exe in it.  The palmtop will not
start without it becasue of an error in config.sys.  I pressed alt at
startup to go to boot options, and i was able to get it into dos, but I
still don't have the file, or a way to get it to the computer.   I need
help!

Subject:      TECH Category limit in GDB files?
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

Hi All,

I was trying to convert some comma seperated text into GDB format using
gdbload from SUPER. Unfortunately gdbload does not accept my comma
seperated data - it reports "Too many categories".

I took a (very) quick peek at the source to gdbload and from what I can
tell, this error occours when you have more than approx. 255 bytes of
Category data (and by "category data" I mean a string consisting of all
the category names concatenated).

Is this a limit in the GDB format or in gdbload?


Cheers,

Laust

At the DOS prompt, go to the root directory of the c: drove.  Rename
c:\config.sys as c:\config.abc -- or as anything else that you will remember.

Reboot.  You will start us from the d: files & be in systems manager.  You
will not be able to access your stacked files, but you will have control of
your machine.

Next, do you know how to reload stacker, and do you own a license for the
software?  What version?

Let me know if this helps, and what else you kneed.

Well, what is there to say? I am sure all of us (perhaps even the idiot
who did it) are horrified as this is something that could really hurt
the internet. People would start thinking twice before being active in
a newsgroup or mailing list.

I hope this was just a one-time prank. Since the posting was not
particularly malicious this is probably the case.

Just something I linked up here and there.

There was this guy who posted up the hoax message, gotten chided and responded in
a really childish manner (i.e Oh, since I did wrong, how can I grovel for mercy... Since I
am not a Network Engineer, I should keep my mouth shut, etcetc...). Just one week
later, Peter gotten a defamatory fraud case. Not to mention that the fraudulent message
was rather childishly, or should I say, immaturely and sexually explicitly made off an
IRC channel. Coincidence? Perhaps....

Anyway, I was wondering a little on the LxTEL thing,and I figured that it could be used
as a "best charge" program for say, calling cards and Direct Dial (ie. IDT). If the dox
could be put into english, perhaps this might become a reality. Stephen?

Finally, I still haven't gotten out a single HP620LX or Velo 500 or Hayes 14.4 out to
anyone on the list since my last post. If anyone missed the last post, I am trying to sell
these units for the company I am working for to get a little cash for my 32Meg upgrade,
so if anyone is interested, please do just email me direct. Thanks.

In your email. We are waaaay past that version. You are

When I create a new email and attach a file of lets say 500 k. When I go

attached file.

Does the Goin Postal program attach/send the file when it is sending the
mail or what? I mean when I go online?

I have not tried too send a mail with attachments, because I do not at
present time have data/fax on my piggibacked Nokia 2110i.

But I would be gratefull if any had any insight on this...

When Goin' Postal sends a attachment, the message created and placed in the
outbox, does not contain the attachment. That would be a terrible waste of
disk space. It simply looks to the directory you specified when creating the
message and sends it from there! Good luck!

The GEM desktop and Draw installed fine, and Draw runs just as I

and text etc in white.  In other words, I'd like to invert the screen.
Is there a simple trick I've missed?  Is there a built-in LX command to
invert the screen that I can use before shelling out to GEM?  Lester.

The manual method (which you're probably already aware of...if you know how to
install GEM on the LX) is On-"/".

I use a utility from the SUPER site called LXSTAT, which is a small and useful
program to display and alter many of the LX's settings. You can just put it in
your GEM startup batch file as "lxstat d r t" to invert the display. There are
other utilities on the SUPER site also that probably do the same, but LXSTAT is
just the one I'm familiar with.

Other than that...sorry, I don't know of any built-in command to do the same.

     You can use the DOS command CTTY to change input from
the CON: device (keyboard and display) to a COM: device.
You can then use a terminal as your I/O to your computer.
This will work for command prompt work and may work for
some programs that simply use DOS for I/O (input/output).
However, programs may access video memory or the keyboard
directly, or use a mode that is not compatable with CTTY.

     Try it, and let us know how it works.

It appears my upgraded 200LX has suffered a hardware failure.

The screen is garbled, and many file names are peculiarly renamed. Even
reinitializing the whole thing and copying the files necessary for
doublespeed and 32 meg memory is not helpful.

No data was lost thanks to backups, but the computer doesn't work, and
that's not very good. I am back to my backup unit.

Can anyone suggest the proper approach to this situation?

Thanks

I wrote a short letter to the PTP on this subject.  I've been
able to get the elvis (vi-clone) editor to work fine in this
mode.  I've had a little trouble getting the two other vi
editors I use to work across the serial port (calvin and vim).
I think that it should be workable with vim if I played with
it some more.

FWIW, here's my batch file I use when I want to invoke this
mode of operation:

GOREM.BAT

@echo off
set vi=elvis
set term=ansi
set lines=24
ctty com1:

When I'm done with the session, I run this batch file:

UNREM.BAT

@echo off
set vi=calvin
set term=
set lines=
ctty con:

The environment variable VI is used by yet another batch file I have
that runs one of three vi editors (calvin, elvis, or vim).  If you're
interested, I can send it to you off-list privately.

Thanks for the insight....maybe my fatware attitude tricked me a bit. I

Subject:      More on AutoCAD
Content-Type: text

I'd like to hear from folks using AutoCAD on their HP200LX palmtop
computers.  I have it sort-of working, but there are a few oddities
that are real showstoppers when it comes to doing any work with it.
I'm real curious about the details of the apparent incompatibility
of our HP200LX CGA-style screen and AutoCAD's CGA driver.  Is this
something that's just inherently incompatible, or is it something
that could be overcome with a small driver or TSR.

Just to update folks, I have it basically running by using the
EM87 and LXSTAT utilities.  The problem arises whenever AutoCAD
tries to place the screen back into text mode to display text, as
is common in many of the identification and other commands.  Also
this messes with any of the HELP features.

You know exactly what you were told by Peter, no more. I am
not suggesting Peter is lying, but I am suggesting that
before you go blasting some organisation that you find out
more about them, educate yourself about them, form some
realistic positions about what they do well, what they do
not do well, try to get a proper perspective etc.

I am hardly condonig identity theft and posting as we saw,
but before you go blasting anyone, get intelligent about
it!

I know a brought this up some time ago, but that didn't lead to any
solution: I own a 200LX/2meg for two month now, and I realized very fast
that the RAM is just too small. So I got two 4meg 5volt linear flash
cards.

They don't run, neither when I just plugged the card in and tried to
format it, nor after I installed /ms-flash.sys/ and /memcard.exe/.
Memcard reports in /Partition Information/ under /Device Information/:
/Reserved 4096K/ and thus won't let me create a new partition. /Erase
Entire Memory Card/ doesn't help either.

Are there any other drivers to use linear flash card, to be precise, an
Atmel AT5FC004-20?

Help me please!

Subject:      56K PCMCIA modem that works in desktop and HP200LX

Folks,

I have a HP200LX 32MB 2X and currently a XJ2144 modem.

I have a Pentium machine at home running linux with a SCM CardBox
PCMCIA slot (thanks David & Mitch!).  It currently does not have a modem.

I want to buy a 56K modem which I can slot into both my machines (the
Linux Pentium at home, and the HP200LX on the road).

Can anyone recommend the cheapest 56K card which will work in the
HP200LX ?

I can work out whether it will work in Linux (the answer is almost
always yes) :-)

I've seen rumours on the list about 56K modems that work in the
palmtop, but it seems no-one is actively using one.  Please prove me
wrong by mailing the details of the 56K modem that YOU use in the HP.

Any replies rewarded with free copies of LXTCP, ExmBatch, PNR ... ;-)

Rumor has it that the 56K Communicator by SimpleTech will work.  See
PCConnection for good prices (http://www.pcconnection.com).  Again, this
is just a rumor.  I can't find a current consumption spec on this unit
anywhere... but I'm using the 33.6K Communicator successfully.

Isn't LXTCP, etc. freeware?  <grin>

If anyone else makes "Theme" type topcards consider sending them to super

enter your internet address in less than 20 characters... ok, Aol need
not reply/flame, but just imagine the (usual) format of first initial,
first five letters of last name, the usual @ and something easy like
say, advent.kuht.edu(.)  You would exceed the "limit" by a character.
Even if you use my mail address <phil_drummond@pagenet.com> you can't
fit the limit. (try using the longest address you can find in this
mailing list.)

I won't waste bandwidth complaining about the 30 character thing.

I like... no, I applaud and hardly endorse the concept of a place to
find actual user input on palmtop related products.  Please review the
limits on the input fields and let a bit more user input into your user
composed information system.

You may or may not need a null modem adapter in the mix.  As I would
actually guess the laplink cable is also a null modem (to allow computer
to ocmputer) and the hp cable is also a null modem.   The port is
standard though.

WWW/LX Plus Version 2 works fine on the 700LX. Our
developer uses this machine as well... And he even lives in
the same country where you do! :) ...

 > with built-in cc:mail mobile. and I cannot understand, why these guys did

100LX, 200LX, and 700LX all have the cc:Mail client.

 > include cc:mail and not a normal internet email software (or, please please,

If you mean HP when you say "these guys", then the answer
is twofold:

1. There was no WWW/LX Plus Version 2 in existence then.
You are talking about the time when the 100LX was designed,
since the chip was mostly set then, and few items changed
on the chip of the 200LX and 700LX... This goes back to
1993 or so.

2. HP then moved their engineering from Corvallis Oregon to
Singapore, but the people who did the design did not move
with the palmtop, and despite the smartness of the
Singapore people, they did other things - Omnibook
100/110/120 and the wonderful WinCE (yuck!) - I guess they
haven't got a clue what to do.

In fact, there were some very very preliminary discussions
about including WWW/LX Plus with the machines (I did not
say ROM, guys...) but HP's terms were such that we had to
get out of business, lose our shirts, and pay them money to
do it. Somehow this did not sit well with me. This died
EXTREMELY Early in the discussions.

I also do not believe they have the know how now to make
any changes to the ROM.

Cannot access standard Internet email via cc:Mail. cc:Mail
is its own email system. You cannot access the standard
Internet POP3 with cc:Mail - it is NOT a TCP/IP package.

O.k, here's what I've found so far on the web.  I'd be very
appreciative if anyone has already tested one of these modems in a
HP200LX on batteries, as I am going to buy something next week (a
colleague from here is in the US for a short time).  I'm assuming that
they'll all work in an SCM SwapBox card reader under Linux (my XJ2144
works, so these should too).

Note that the prices listed are representative only, not the best
price available.

1/ The only 56K PCMCIA modem I found that officially states
   compatibility with the HP200LX is the Viking (Mfg Part# 56KFMWINCE):

Spec:   http://www.vikingcomponents.com/products/56cell.html

Prices:

$127.99 http://www.hardwarestreet.com/bin/catalog/getProdPage.cgi?sku=775664
$138.20 http://www.cdw.com/product/default.asp?EDC=135446

2/ Another 56K PCMCIA modem that officially states a power consumption
   of less than 150 mA is the Hayes Optima (Mfg Part# 08-03050):

Spec:   http://www.hayes.com/prodinfo/Optima/opt56kpc.html

Prices:

$111.99 http://www.hardwarestreet.com/bin/catalog/getProdPage.cgi?sku=319883
$199.03 http://www.cdw.com/product/default.asp?EDC=94600

3/ Simple Technology's 33K modem got a good review on David's site,
   and Mitch mentioned them too - I don't know what the power
   consumption is for their 56K modem (Mfg Part# STI-FAX/56):

Spec:   http://www.simpletech.com/communications/56kcomm.htm

Prices:

$120.99 http://www.hardwarestreet.com/bin/catalog/getProdPage.cgi?sku=852812

Mikhail, probably your disk drive lost its mind, not a
hardware failure.

If you have all the files backed up, you may want to
reformat the entire drive and restore it. Otherwise, you'll
probably still have to reformat the drive :) ...

When you see weird file names, and ICREDIBLE file sizes -
waaay beyond the capacity of your drive as you know it, it indicates
that the FAT (File Allocation Table) is munched up.

Rebooting is useless.

Yes, but it is a cc:Mail site, not an internet site.
Stephan will have to call a 408 area code number in the US
to get his email, all the way from Good Ol' Switzerland.

And he still can't get his other POP3 email, unless he
forwards all the email from there to his cc:Mail account.
This of course tends to lengthen the international calls.

Avi,

Thanks for forwarding the message. Version 1.11 of VR actually
has the correct address (Hagsfelder Allee 16), but older
versions (which are easy to replace on CompuServe but  out of
control on the Internet and shareware CDROMs unfortunately)
may have an older one (Rudolfstr. 12).

My current, complete address is:

  Gilles Kohl,
  Hagsfelder Allee 16

The email address included in the docs
(100114.3146@compuserve.com) has always been valid though.

   Regards,
   Gilles.

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

We have a Poquet PC here; two were bought years ago for managers to dial in
to our All-in-1 service; in fact they came from Digital with the LAP-1
software on SRAM card.  This produced a sort of All-in-1 looking interface
and in conjunction with some software on the VAX could act as an offline
reader.

Looking under the hood I found one of the most labyrinthine Kermit scripts
I've ever seen - the interface was in fact all a Kermit script using ANSI
esacpe sequences to drive the screen, and then it uses All-in-1's hardcopy
terminal mode interface. (how I wish Outlook had a good one).

The Poquet was tough, has nice big keys, ran on 2 AA's - and had (almost) no
software.  Sure you could load more but back then SRAMs were $$$, and even
then we were getting away from DOS software.  It had only 512 (?640) k RAM
so was limited.

I used it as a portable terminal for connecting to console ports on terminal
servers and the like, which it was great for.  Laptops at that time were
very heavy.

Now I use the 2 512k SRAMs that it had in my LX and Toshiba laptop - very
handy and the Poquet and all it's manuals are in the cupboard (we have no
process for selling or throwing out old equipment!)

You'd need a big pocket compared to the LX !

Regarding this- I have a suggestion which will give you a very small

Subject:      Timeouts
Content-Type: text

I need the help of a network specialist...  I am setting up a dial-up
router, and decided to try out my palmtop on it.  I loaded up my ethernet
packet drivers, and fired up MT (that's part of the WATTCP package).
I had first, of course, edited the .CFG file to specify my IP address
and the router's IP address as the gateway.

So I attempt to telnet to my shell account.  The router does what it's
supposed to, and starts dialing and establishes a connection.  But before
the router and ISP could complete negotiations, the MT session gave up
and aborted.

Is there some way to increase the timeouts, so that the router has enough
time to establish a dial up connection?

Thanks,

-Chris Lott

Hi, I mentioned this previously, but just in case it saves you from buying one,
the non-wince version of this modem
does not work in the HP200, I have one.  Sounds like the Wince version might
work.

You can send and receive internet mail through "palmtop.com".  They have a
FREE service for connecting to their cc:mail server, which is also connected
to the internet.   The only thing is that the phone call is not free, but
since you are probably not going to be connected for more than a few
minutes, it is no big deal amyway.

Using palmtop.com I could send mail to "sponsor@FTEL.NET at Internet"  (
quotes only shown for clarity ).

The also have a deal that is a one time $60 fee for permanent POP3/SMTP
access to your account at palmtop.com.

Hope this helps.

I am not connected in any way with palmtop.com ( no pun intended ) , I just
use it from time to time.

Well, I'm a "previous" GEM user who has just discovered it seems

Christopher,

I do this every time i dial up to the internet with my 200LX. WHat
i did was download the dosppp package from Toni Lopez. The most
current version (to my knowledge is 0.6, dosppp06.zip). I was a
bit confused as to how to make it work, but read the excellent
documentation and it works perfectly after i set it up correctly.
A lot of users use the bootp configuration. I do not know
what this is other than it is a level 1 (ethernet) emulation
that allows some (evil) dos programs to run without hanging
the machine. I use only ppp (level 6) programs and have a
batch file to dial the ISP and connect. I use pnr and the
rest of the excellent free lxtcp package to do my work. I also
use mt to telnet as it is the smallest telnet package for dos
that i have found. The instructions on setting up the batch
file are in the dosppp documentation.

Good Luck,

Keith Grider

the software I am using is: MyMailList; it can export into comma

I also have IntelliSync phonebook  but at first glance I can not import

Any EXTERNAL (is it?) modem should work with the HP's.  You just need a
null modem adapter and you have to set whatever software to use COM1 and
then set other parms for the service you are calling.  If using Buddy
check the serial port locking.  If sysmgr is running it can sometimes
interfere with dos com programs.

It is an external pocket modem. Once it's in my hands and I verify that it
works, I'll probably put it up for sale if anyone is interested. Thanks for

There is a SOCKDELAY value in the WATTCP.CFG file you might be able

Over the past couple of days I've been beating the heck out of the XLATE

I just wish the XLATE program would work on the Palmtop.

I just got a catalog in the mail (pcmall I think) and it advertised
the TDK 56K pcmcia modem. The main selling point was low power
consumption and it was targeted at the CE market, you might want to
check it out. I think it was $94 and change in the catalog.

We at www.times2tech.com currently offer a 4MB/speed upgrade kit for $95 +
shipping.  www.palmtoppaper.com offers the same thing installed for $119 +
shipping I believe.

Keith:

I think you may have misunderstood my question.  (I say may, because
I'm not familiar w/your levels of ethernet).  First, I *will* read up
on the dosppp documentation.

My question regarded the use of my HP with an ethernet card.  I was
connected to a router, and it is the router that dials the phone, not
my HP.  I can use MT/wattcp from my office (direct ethernet connection,
no  dialing involved).  This is a new configuration I was trying at
my church's network, which I recently inhereted.

So far, I have received another tip as well, suggesting I try adding/
adjusting a SOCKDELAY setting in my .cfg file.  Will try this and
report back.

Thanks,

-Chris

On exactly those facts, I have had good luck with chkdsk, under DOS.  Somehow
my 6 Meg machine was about a Gigabyte, with long file names.  Chkdsk, put

If your JKIT is ver 1.0, you need to update to 1.1 for more reliable
functions. Update kit should be available at Okaya's Home Page.

The Kanji input driver should be loaded onto EMS.  If you failed to load
the EMS driver, you also fail to load Kanji input method driver. Check
your EMS.

Did you format the card after the 1-k cluster run?  I think that you
have to actually format the card.  If you did, then that card may not be
amenable to the treatment.

Hi,

I just reviewed former discussions on the formatting subject, because
I
had to reformat my 8MB smart-media cards (Olympus dig camera, 4KB
cluster) for use with the 200LX - and I wanted 512Byte clusters.

Now here's *the final info on formatting*  ;-)

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)

----- snip ----

You may not have problems with disk format but with long file names.
I did not investigate this yet, but there were msgs on the list about
it.

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

Hello all

I just read the Power FAQ by Ian Butler..and checked the manual and have
been inadvertently using an AC adaptor for over a year now with no problems..

I am wondering if I lucked out on an incorrect adaptor label and how I can
check wether AC or DC output.

The adaptor is labelled 12VAC 200ma.

Neither the charger or my LX gets hot and it does charge my NICD batteries.

200ma is low according to the specs yet does work.  Maybe unregulated it
puts out more.?

What are the likely effects if I continue to use this adaptor if it is AC?

I have another adaptor that has a solid line with a broken line next to it..
Cant recall if this is AC or DC legend..

Please help with any info you can..

TIA

Russell

I am using WWW/LX and POST/LX to read/reply to messages on this
list. When I reply to a "regular" message, the reply is
addressed to both the list and to the original poster. However,
when I reply to a For Sale message, the only the address of the
poster is automatically inserted into the "To:" line of
POST/LX. This is a nice feature, since there is no need for the
whole list to read my reply to a For Sale message.

My question is this. Is this feature implemented in the list
server (perhaps by the way it formats the header of a For Sale
message) or is the magic done by POST/LX?

This is clearly an AC adapter

This is a mystery to me. I thought an AC adapter would not work
with a 100LX or 200LX.

I don't know

A solid line with a broken line is the legend for DC.

Vic, you can have better control of your replies by pressing "F" to
reply to a FROM address, "T" - to a TO, and Alt-F3 - for all. But
those addresses have to be in the message (which you can see by
pressing "ALT-H" when the message is open). Sometimes FROM may not be
there, especially in spam.

This reply is a "T" - so you get only one copy.

I got my system going again. What alarms me is that things did
actually get renamed. The line in config.sys that says
DEVICE=SPD31.SYS became DEVICE=SPD31REN.SYS, while the actual file
became SPD31S.SYS. How could this happen? CHKDSK found many broken
chains, but nothing worked until I manually edited these changes.

I picked up a Simple Technology 2 MB Sdram card for my 95LX that isn't working
right.  I put a new battery in but it does that same thing. I format it, run
chkdsk and everything is fine.  Then after a few accesses I get the abort, retry a
few times.  If I run chkdsk I have lot's of bad files (even though none existed to
start with).  Is the card bad or do I need a driver?

Also if I write data to the card will I be able to access it on my PC running
WIN95 if I buy the PMCIA adapter for the PC?  It seems a cleaner way to transfer
data as opposed to a serial card (I have so many serial and parrallel cables
now!!).

Let's see... if you are a somewhat adventurous tinkerer...just an idea

1)attach two wires to your adapter outlet (12v!)
2) dip both ends in a bowl with demineralized water
3)slowly add salt, stir a little with a plastic or wooden stick-you never
know(although 12v...)
4)If bubbles start appearing at one end only, it must be dc

Just an idea, supposing you have no desire to buy high tech stuff, no
matter how cheap.

Before you purchase a new pack, try this
1.  Run scandisk on the floppy to see whether
    it reports errors.  If it does not, then
    do the following:
2.  Start the desktop PC in MS-DOS mode.
3.  Run setver to set the DOS version on the
    Pack's install program to 3.0.
4.  Reboot to let DOS register the version change.
5.  ReStart in MS-DOS mode (steps 4 and 5 combine
    on my system if I Crtl-Alt-Delete to reboot
    in item #4).
6.  Run Install from the floppy.

I had the same problem when I switched from Windows 3.1 to a
new machine with a new hard drive.  I could not get the Pack
to install.  The Install program reported disk errors.  I
found the same problem when I tested it on a number of machines
at work (including the 5-1/4" disks).  Later it occurred to me
that the Install program might be confused by the DOS version.
The pack now runs fine in a dos window under Win95.

Subject:      GPS to HP200LX to GPS Waypoint Converter(s)

Are There any HP200LX/HP100LX users who use a GPS with their palmtop?

I've been dabbling with LXGPS, GARDOWN, and my Garmin GPSIII.  I've wrote
some conversion spreadsheets and macros for my use and feel they may be of
interest to others.

In short, these items help me convert waypoints downloaded from my GPS, or
the Internet, and use them with my HP200LX and my GPS.  I've found it to be
really helpful to see the same waypoints on a map within the HP200LX at the
same time I'm using the GPS to navigate.

If anyone is interested, please let me know.

Thanks,

Paul Stratton

Al,

Ask him how he knows the disk is damaged? What is the error
message? If he gets "Packed File Corrupt" when he runs INSTALL
nothing is wrong with the disk.

The program that unpacks the 95LX Connectivity Program was
designed in the days of DOS 3. It has a bug that prevents it
from running in low memory. This was not a problem in the days
of DOS 3, since DOS occupied the low memory space. However,
with DOS 5 and beyond, the low memory area is available and
the unpacker will not run.

The solution is to load a dummy program into low memory first
to take up space. DOS 5 had a program called LOADFIX to do
this. The user types LOADFIX INSTALL. LOADFIX takes up the
first 64K or so and then loads INSTALL. If he doesn't have
LOADFIX, just load COMMAND about 5 or 6 times and the multiple
copies of COMMAND.COM will take up enough space for INSTALL to
run correctly. This is how I loaded the 95LX Con Pack onto my
new Win95 machine.

Russell,

If you had access to an oscilloscope, you could easily tell if
this is an AC or DC adapter. But, I believe you said you did
not have access to such instrumentation. If you can borrow a
simple voltmeter (or multimeter) set it on a range that can
measure 12V DC and measure the output from your adapter. If the
output is AC, your voltmeter will read zero. If it is DC, it
will read 12V.

thanks for the zip file. I did not include a video driver and
thats where my installation stopped.

Using your adopted lxacad.bat I get to the Main Menu screen

asking for a correct EGA driver when trying to load a

Can you send me your video driver.

You have to configure ACAD to use the CGA driver.  It calls it
the IBM Color Adaptor, if I remember right.

A good place to start to learn about GPS and to find places for even more
information is the sci.geo.satellite-nav newsgroup. It covers so much more
than I'd ever wish to know, but it seems to point to many good places for
information.  The best web source of information I've found is at:
http://joe.mehaffey.com/

There's a whole lot of software written for Windows, but there are a few
goods ones for DOS. Most will run on the HP200LX. The best, of course, is
LXGPS available on the S.U.P.E.R. www.palmtop.net/super.html site.

Good Luck!

Now that you've had some time to play with it, is it working from the
applications screen, or do you have to close everything down and run
from DOS?
I had it working from the application screen but suffered an unrelated
crash, and, after restoring, found it didn't work any more.  I need to
change some memory setting, but can't seem to find the right one.

Thanks Peter, but the TDK modems draw over 200mA.

Seems like there is only *ONE* person on this list who is actually
using a 56K modem in the HP.  I guess if you're not going to use the
same card in both the desktop and the palmtop, then everyone buys a
33K for the palmtop and a cheap 56K ISA/PCI for the desktop.

David:

No, I haven't dared to try from the SYSMGR.  I'm content to get it
running just in plain DOS mode.

I am still curious about the problem with the screen.  It seems
that the HP isn't completely CGA compatible in some way.  I'm going
to research this a little further, perhaps some fo the LX gurus here
onthe list can comment.  I would like to consider writing a small
TSR that would correctly change the screen modes for AutoCAD, so
it would be more usable.  In the meantime, I find that I can load
LXPRO prior to running ACAD.  Then when the funky screen happens,
I can invoke LXPRO, cycle through the various screen modes, and get
back to one that works.  I've only started trying this - it seemed
to work most of the time, yet once it crashed the system.

A second, but slightly related subject - regarding the NOMOUSE
driver.  I haven't tried this in ACADA yet, but mostly I am
veery satisfied with the built-in ACAD keyboard support.  I did
try it when running some Win3.0 apps recently, and found similarly
that in all but one case, I liked the built-in Windows keyboard
handler.  The one exception was Word for Windows, but alas the
NOMOUSE driver didn't work at all in that program!  Just my luck,
the one program I would want to use NOMOUSE won't accept it.

I'm working on a small ACAD drawing this week, and will post any
further comments on ACAD on/LX as appropriate.

Can you elaborate on the 38400 figure.  Is this COM1 or PCMCIA COM2 ?
Single or double speed LX ?  Datacom application, or something more
optimised ?

Interesting.  People here in Aus say that they can get better than
33.6K using a 56K modem (just about all the exchanges in AUS are
digital now).

Perhaps you recently installed some software that revised
your configuration in the process without alerting you.

Hi Vic & List..

Going on the test above I have an AC adaptor that works with the LX. It
reads 13V on AC and 0V on DC as suggested.  Any feedback on ramifications of
this with the LX?

BTW  Fluff... Its Australia's birthday tomorrow..  :))

There is another 56K modem that I know works in the 200LX.  I have
a "Diamond Supra PC Card K56 Flex Faxmodem" that works fine in my
200LX.  The Part Number: 40500880-001 and mine has been flash
upgraded to V.90.

Don't plug it into the LX!!!!!!!  You read the instructions backwards,
if you see voltage on AC THEN IT'S AN AC ADAPTER AND WOULD LIKELY KILL
YOUR LX!!!!

Subject:      Honkin File Editor
Content-Type: text

I am looking for an editor/reader that would let me look at big, honkin
files (e-mail archives) in a reasonably fast way.  I've tried some
editors already, and based on the problems I've observed with large files,
here's the things I would like to see:

(1) Quick Open (disk-file based, not read into memory).

(2) Quick goto end-of-file operation, using fseek-EOF type of operation,
    not reading the file to the end.

(3) No edit capability needed nor wanted.  Just a file reader.

(4) Oh yeah... must run on the palmtop. (HP200LX)

Do any editors you are aware of meet these requirements?

Now.... IDEALLY I would like a mail reader that would readily read UNIX
style mail box files of large size.  So far, I haven't found a good
solution, so I just have to use an editor.

Berg's LIST program will read very large files. The Go to end does read the
entire
file though, but it is quick.  I have used it to view megabyte sized files.
There is
a limit on the total size of the file, I want to say that it is about 16MB,
but
don't quote me.  I'm sure that this is available on some of the archives.
The older versions are smaller and probably more suited to the HP200 if you
can find them.

Have you tried LXDR? It does scan the file once at startup to find the start
of each email message, but after that it should be quick.

If it crashes, send me the file it choked on, if you can.... and I'll fix
it, if I can.

Roughly speaking...how big is "honkin"?  We've got to know this or else we'll
get another "my editor can do all this..." thread again.

I know you use the vi editor, and Calvin does a passably good job for me, even
for 1-2 mb files, since it writes data to temp storage. It can handle files too
big even for VIM. (There....my self-fulfilling prophecy <g>).

The downside is that the read/write is done, however fast...and if you're
strapped for temporary disk space then big files can bite you.

Another poster suggested Buerg's LIST program, which I also use. I use an older
version (6.2a, circa 1987) that's only 8k. But as that poster also noted, I
think the end-of-file operation does amount to a whole file read.

Greetings fellow LXers,

I was just curious to know, I wanted to do some searching through
the list archives. So I went to the archive page and tried using
the Glimpse HTTP Search box, but it said something about paths
not being correct. I checked out Glimpses home page and they
don't seem to support GlimpseHTTP anymore. Hmmm, shoot. Are there
any plans to support or fix searching anytime in the near distant
future?

I just received my Accton card so I wanted to figure out if I
could run an FTP server. ;)

Thanks for everyone's help.

Hmmm...  the viewer built into StereoShell should fit part of your
requirements.  There were a couple of suggestions of V. Buerg's LIST.
I have a late version of LIST that is about 25K.  Did a quick
comparison between the STS viewer and LIST, and was surprised to find
STS about twice as fast.  STS took ~2 seconds to go to the end of a
180K file.  LIST took around 4 sec.

STS is avaliable on SUPER.

     Check out Dave Sargaent's HPLX.NET, he has an FAQ devoted to
networking the LX. You will need the drivers LXETHER3 Which is
available at the http://www.palmtop.net/super.html

any special software needed (besides cc:mail that comes with the 200lx)

www.palmtop.com is pretty good. They do a try and buy with a cc:mail post
office and a $60 one-time charge for lifetime email. Not free but pretty
good and pretty cheap. Juno and hotmail depend on advertising to give free
mail and that means a gui i/f with ads scrolling by. I don't think that
concept could or should work with the LX. palmtop.com is the cheapest if you
consider that almost any ISP will charge $15-20 bux a month. you have to
dial a 408 number for plamtop.com but at .10/minute long distance it's
probably not a big deal. I think they are the only ones that will make
cc:mail useful.

Check out the Stanford U. contender for "World's Smallest Web Server" at:

http://wearables.stanford.edu/

It's a JUMPtec single-board AMD 486-SX computer with a 66 MHz CPU, AMI
BIOS, full I/O, 16 MB RAM, and 16 MB flash ROM. It measures just  2.7" by
1.7" by .25" and draws 0.8 to 2.0 watts from a 5v power supply. Cost is
$419. JUMPtec specs are at:

http://www.jumptec.de/product/data/components/dimmpc486.html

Now -- who will transplant one of these into a 200LX, and be the first on
their block to have a 486 palmtop?

If you have a Diamond Rio PMP300 music player, there is now a DOS command
line program which (in theory) lets you control it with your 200LX. You can
initialize the Rio, upload and download files, or upload a list of files
from a playlist you create.

Apparently, the files don't have to be MP3 either. The documentation says
you can up/download any kind of file, effectively turning your Rio into a
hard drive.

(I guess you'll need a serial/parallel converter or a parallel PCMCIA card,
as I believe the Rio uses a parallel PC interface.)

Take a look at:

http://welcome.to/riogeo

NOTE: I don't have a Rio to check this out with, so you folks who do are on
your own.

Quinton,  Are you looking for a docking station for the OB 600?  I've got
one I was going to sell it with a OB 600; however, I would sell it
separately.  Tried for one of the cheap 800 docks but I was too late.

Any luck on my motherboard?

I wonder if something like this could be made as a PCMCIA card?  If so,
I imagine it would be possible to "access" such a card for processor
intensive tasks and then you wouldn't have to recreate the screen,
keyboard, and IO parts of a palmtop.

I wouldn't be suprised if HP put a diode in the power circuit to
protect against reverse voltage.  That would convert any AC to a
pulsing DC that might seem to work as long as the peaks weren't
too high to cause damage.  This would be another example of the
HP's rugged design and how it manages to tolerate a hostile
environment.

Note: I am NOT recommending use of AC.  You should use the
recommended DC.

Sure.  Get lxpic from SUPER.  It'll display jpg, gif, bmp, icn, and (I

It seems that the program is for the Win95/98 command line; not for real DOS. I
just cabled up my Rio, my TransDigital card and my 200LX. When I ran the
program, it said:

This program connot be run in DOS mode.

Boo! I wrote the author to request a DOS version. Also, I notice that the
utility is GPL, so the source should be forthcoming. A nice PAL version would
be quite cool. Finally, he siad he is working on a Linux version. Perfect!

Does your upgraded palmtop require a driver to "create" or access it's
"F" drive?  If you answer yes, check that the EXP driver is installed
after the driver for drive "F".

When I get home tonight, I will re-read my EXP paperwork and see if it
provides additional help.

LXPIC seems to work fine on my 200LX 5 meg double speed. Unfortunately it
does not recognize the jpg file created by my Kodak DC260. If I convert the
pictures using a shareware program either lview or I_view than I can read
them with LXPIC. I was hoping to be able to read the jpg files directly
from the DC260. LXPIC is not the only program though, Pictuer Publisher 6.0
is the has the same problem.

Rod did a new ftp server for LXTCP that can handle multiple clients. I have it
running at:

buckcreek.palmtop.net

I have had no trouble connecting with a real ftp program, but for some reason
Netscape can't ever get a connect from outside my network. I can hit it just
fine from Netscape on my intranet.

Since my laptop is down, I am using the palmtop for

using the connectivity pack XLATE.  I cannot get the
connectivity xlate utility to run on the palmtop itself.  Are
there any ways to get it to work or any utilities which would
do the same thing?

It's getting hammered pretty hard right now and seems to have just crashed as I
type this. It's starting to give me the:

Packet received for invalid port -- reset sent
Packet received for invalid port -- reset sent
Packet received for invalid port -- reset sent
Packet received for invalid port -- reset sent

No, just got a login from Jeff Johns! I hav had four clients being served at
once so far, but it is queuing requests so will seem slow. Has anyone actually
grabbed a file yet? THey are all in the top20 directory...

Strange --- I also have the 8Mb 2x 200LX (from Thaddeus), and LXPIC
works with no problems.  It is called from HV, and used as the graphic
file viewer for StereoShell and X-Finder.  How are you trying to launch
it?

I saw a posting regarding topcard themes. Neat idea! Please post link again.

I routinely use the topcard as a listing for the nine billion macros I have.
Sometimes it does tend to get foggy as to what does what - especially if you
have a lot. I use *yuck* paintbrush and use the text option and type a list
of the macros.

I think someone spoke of this project once, now I have a proposed layout of this.

Key points
1.) Email Sync-er on Palmtop is universal for all 200LX
2.) Email Sync-er on PC is platform independent, meaning it's open-source, so anyone
can make a port of it to anything, even make a sync-ing module for any email program.

The Flowchart is as follows; I am influenced by the Bluewave Offline mail reader (from
the days of BBSes)
- PC Portion
PC recieves email -> new email is in Inbox -> Email Sync-er indexes the messages on
PC, packs all unread/unreplied mails in Inbox and updated Drafts from Drafts folder
(available in PMMail 98 or PMMail/2, www.southsoft.com) -> Email Sync-er then
prepares the index (.idx) file for package -> Zip package of Emails and index file is
generated and put into program ready to send by email (maybe then a macro for the
Email program on the Palmtop can unzip the item?) or serial transfer.

- PC linked to Palmtop Portion
Palmtop is linked to PC -> Link established by Email Sync-er -> Palmtop Email Sync-er
uploads packet to PC -> PC uploads new email package to Palmtop -> PC checks for
the replies (.rpl), drafts (.dfs) and read status file (.sta) within the Palmtop upload
package, and updates the emails within the PC, such as if HPLX digest was not read
on the PC (thus status unread), but downloaded to the Palmtop, and was read and a
reply was posted (meaning status read, reply made), the Sync-er will obtain the reply
from the package, put it into the Sent mail folder on the PC, adjust the HPLX digest
status on the PC as read (or maybe deleted?)

Palmtop portion
Palmtop Email Sync-er will look into the package -> Unzip and put the emails in the
respective directories. In Goin' Postal, it would be SInbox (SyncInbox), in Post/LX it
would be a seperate folder with it's own name, perhaps Sync Inbox - Office, and Sync
Inbox - Home emails for multiple accounts. -> Hooks would have to be introduced, or
maybe just an understanding of how the messages are indexed within the programs to
let the Sync-er know what is going on. Maybe a TSR version? -> When the program is
exited, everything would be as normal. -> If Sync-er is program, and emails from the
Email program is deleted, means the sync-er wouldn't capture it, perhaps TSR version
can do the complete monitoring. -> Sync-er would execute, from SysManager as Icon
-> Sync-ing can be done as "prepare sync file, then link" or "prepare sync file" for
preparation to link to the PC.

Ideas anyone? This is, I think, the most solid flowchart I can think of instead of listening
to vapourware ideas. (Anyone remembers ALL the backlighting projects in progress
which never seem to appear?) All we need is some programmers. I would be glad to
help if someone can coach me a little on programming. I just gotten Multimail for OS/2
source code, so if that is useful, then maybe. Since the PalmPilot has the email sync-er
IN-BUILT, I really figure that the 200LX would REALLY, REALLY need one; I for one
have about 30 emails I haven't cleared for the past 1 month.... and it's growing... Hope
that the LX community can make this a reality!

Me too, except I issue ls instead of dir (which shouldn't make any
difference)

I guess the 200LX just wasn't designed to be a multi-client FTP server...

I then have to insert my card in my laptop computer and defrag it there.

Does anyone have a link to a defragprogram that works?

Sounds like the data connections packets are not getting out of
Mitch's network and back to your machine.

Mitch,

Can you:

1/ Send me what lxtcpcfg prints out for you.  I want to check your
bootp setup for your gateway machine.

2/ Do a tcpdump and see if you can see the ftp packets going back to
the external clients PORT via your gateway.

I've only tested this on my intranet at home (where it works
perfectly), so I don't know if it works with gateways.

But it's my goal that we can all connect to Mitch's server from
anywhere in the world ;-)

I just went to Go America's web site (www.goamerica.net) and noticed that
they have an unlimited data plan for $59.95 a month that works with the
RIM wireless card (also known as the 3Com Allpoints Wireless modem).  If
their software works with the 200LX (or if somebody could develop software
that would work on the palmtop with their service) it would be ideal for
wireless web access and e-mail from the palmtop.  Does anybody have any
information on this?

I regularly edit 2, 3, and 4MB files with it. It is fast.

Opens rather rapidly and is disk based.

Almost instantaneous access to end of file. I don't know
how it gets there, but when I press the keys it is there. I
think he knows where the file end is and just jumps there.

Aha! you wrote that you look for a file editor/reader.

Was even written on the palmtop.

I am amazed you don't know about PE :) ... I am falling
down on the job! :)

PE works like EMACS, was inspired by EMACS, had all sorts
of features that are EMACS-like. But then, it is an editor
too, not just a reader...

No problems for me either (although searches are somewhat slow...), except
that the web-server that hosts the archives decidedly hates Lynx, the text
based browser -- it simply refuses connection). Of course, it could be
Lynx which hates the web-server, but in any case, the combination doesn't
work.

Avi:

Thanks for the help.  And yes, I know about PE, just have never really
wanted to use it.  Please don't flame me, but as we've discussed here
before, editors can be quite personal thing.  I use one of the vi-clones
99% of the time, as that's what I'm most comfortable with.  Also, I can
use the same editor whether at home, office, ISP account, or palmtop!
Nothing like consistency!  Anyway, I'll check out the PE for use with
large files, and see how I like it.  Thanks for the education...

You could try DOG (dog316.zip) on SIMTEL sites, probably in the

I actually find that PE's start-up time is somewhat slow at times. No, no
_that_ slow, but still slow enough to annoy me when I just need to alter
something in my autoexec.bat ;-)
I've seen faster starting editors (some of those 4kb ones), but they
obviously don't have the same amount of features, so I'd rather use PE.

Of course, I might be able to regain a little speed by decompressing the
DIETed .exe file, and thus save the decompression at start-up and the
expense of a little diskspace, but I haven't tried this yet...

Seems to work fine with the current version of Unix Lynx. (V2.8 rel. 2)
My other ISP uses it, and it worked fine when I tried it just now.

He also ran several BBSes; I used to call the Motherboard at
707-778-8841 which had all his utilities.

Also, his LIST file viewer had 3 version in the distribution
archive; small, medium and large with more features in the
larger ones.   LIST = Good Stuff!

Don't give up yet.  The fact that you could connect means that the
multi-client part of it is working fine.  The problem seems to be with
the ftp data connection going across gateways.

When I get the lxtcpcfg and tcpdump data from Mitch, I'll be able to
debug the problem.

     I don't suppose there is a mirror? I keep getting an error message
when I try to access this URL. Actually I had tried this originally,
but when I got the error, I assumed the logical choice for the URL
was wrong. Is anyone else getting thru?

     I too can log in, but I time out on the LIST command. I can see
the "C:\LXTCP" directory, but no files? I have tried IE4 & WSFTP on the
LapTop, & of course, WWW/LX.

     I'll try again periodically tomorrow.

Have it up and running. Tried different screen drivers but

Mouse action is awesome however.

What's the energy delivered by an AA cell? Around 500mA-hours maybe?
That would be about 3 watt-hours with two batteries, so your 200LX
would last about two hours between batteries!

But the web server is cool.

I have a serial 2 parallel converter for sale or

28.8k PCMIA modem.

This unit is powered from a transformer has a
short centronics ribbon cable that plugs in the
the printer (8" long) that terminates in a converter
box (about the size of two packets of cards) this
has about six foot of what looks like telephone cable
coming out of it that ends in a female RS232

Can send a photo of setup if anyone is interested.

G'day and happy Birthday to Australia!

I've just received my double speed machine and the only :-( is my
Silicom network card no longer works.

I've received the following from Silicom:

Helpful!

What else works? I've read that the Acton card is OK. Any feed back from
the list? Who's got the best deals (I'm in the UK, so would need it
shipping)?

Rod, I have not been successful in finding a 56K PC Card modem
that works in the 200LX.  So far, they all draw too much
current to work in the 200LX.

I know that the one from Viking does not.  Neither does
Viking's low power WinCE version of the 56K modem.  Actually,
I should say that I know these modems "work" in the 200LX, but
I expect that they will burn it out if used for too long.
Viking's 33.6 modem works fine in the palmtop since it draws
only 144 ma.

3COM's 56K PC Card modem specs indicate  it needs too much
power.

EXP makes a PC Card modem with an external 2xAA battery pack
that should work in the 200LX.  With the battery pack, the
modem draws very little power from the palmtop, so this is a
great thing.  But the downside is the battery pack.  When you
use the EXP card in something other than the 200LX, you can
leave the battery pack off.

I am still checking into the Simple and other cards.  I don't
have my notes here, though.

Chris, the palmtop's serial port uses standard RS-232 signals,
but the connector is special.  You need to use the HP serial
cable, and it is already wired just like the Laplink cable.
Meaning that it is a null modem and designed to plug directly
into a PC's serial port.

So, if you use the HP serial cable, then plug it right into
the PC and DON'T use the LapLink cable also.  This is because
the LapLink cable is a null modem also and will reverse (and
screw up) the null modem already in the HP serial cable.

If the HP serial cable is too short for you, then use a serial
extension cable.

The Accton is the only one that will work in the double speed LX. I just
bought a spare from www.lanmarket.com:

http://www.lanmarket.com/products/prod_fam.asp?VisID=382271123OMHRI990126054457&Area=products&CatCode=EN&ProdCode=EN2216%2D1

With my first-time buyers discount, cost with shipping came to about $45. Oddly
enough, the card was delivered directly from Accton so Lanmarket must be some
kind of middleman outfit. The price was right so I'm not complaining. :)

Just curious here.... what is the limiting factor of this current
limit for the PCMCIA port?  Is is a component in the power supply
regulator, circuit board traces, PCMCIA connector pins, etc...

If, for example, it is a circuit board trace, I could envision a
way to work around this obstacle, assuming there is room in the
case for a parallel jumper wire capable of carrying the desired
current.

Since you are using Jam I would use the defrag that came with it.  But I
have used Jam in past along with old version of Norton Speed Disk. Speed
Disk will work on the cards as well as C: with damaging data on the LX.

Hi Al-

I got through fine with Unix Lynx v 2.8

No go using WWW/LX.  I got a message "If you're seeing this instead of
the content you expected..."  What browser were you trying?

Oops!

Sorry, Mitch (and others), Because I don't do Windows(R) I naively assumed
that the Win95/98 command line function acted as a DOS emulator, and that
programs written for it would also work from the DOS command line. Mea
culpa!

But with any luck, you have convinced the author to convert it to a DOS
version. Please keep us posted!

Is there an easy way to utilize a lookup table from within the solver?  I
have been using IF() for very short tables, but the equations can get very
bulky very quickly.

More important is "How much battery life?". These guys say that they get 2
hours from a camcorder battery.... IMHO it's not a contender for hplx
replacement unless it gets better than 10 hours from a pair of AA size
batteries. Any bigger battery is too heavy.

Subject:      Battery Drain Help
Content-Type: text

I was using my trusty palmtop this morning in the following manner.
First, I had a reasonably fresh pair of batteries.  With the unit off,
I unplugged my flash card, and inserted my ethernet card.  I also
inserted the wall adaptor into the unit.  I then turned it on, loaded
my various drivers, and accessed my company Novell network.  Copied
a file just fine.

Then I went to another building to meet with some collegues, and left
my palmtop turned on.  It was on the adaptor, and I wasn't worried
about it.  But when I got back about an hour later, the thing was off -
really off!  I couldn't turn it on, or even re-boot it!

I unplugged the ethernet card, re-inserted the flash, and tried to
reboot.  But it kept turning itself right back off.  Finally, one
time it came on long enough to tell me that my main batteries were
VERY low.  I immediately replaced them, and it's working fine.

What bothers me is that I might be using battery current with the
ethernet card plugged in, even though I'm using an adaptor.

Can anyone explain this to me?

-Chris

I have gotten the hold of Speedisk from Norton thanks for the
help..maybe I was not clear. I want have to defrag the hostdrive before
I can remount the .jam file. Therefore I can not use the defrag that is
supplied with jam (the jmax program is only for the jamdrive)

        Hello all,

    Question zero: Anyone found that PDF to PCX converter that should
    reside on GARBO FTP? If that program works on the LX, it's a good
    companion of LxPic! (And finally I can get some real world PCXes
    of 10.000x10.000 pixels size, must be a pain to decode PDF-> PCX)

    BTW, If you have problem or IDEAS about LxPic, just post it here!
    Observe the symptoms and carefully detail them, the more info you
    give, the better. Programs don't just doesn't work, they don't
    work in a specific way; that's what we need to know. Stefan moni-
    tors the list or users can advice in a simpler case. Not to
    mention that if a lot of people cry out for MPEG I-frame, PNG
    support, runtime version loud enough; we might get an upgrade.
    The last LxPic v6.1 release is over 6 mo. old!

    I think the problem w/ that single 8MB/DS unit is hardware or DS
    driver related, as LxPic video detect had been refined repeatedly


    Question one: Is it possible to use TWO parallel port PCMCIA
    cards (TransPC or the other brand) in a HPLX w/ DoubleShot?

    Have you ever used a hardware "dongle" (copy protection key)
    with your 200LX? (Either serial or parallel port version, or
    maybe a custom PCMCIA flash card with built-in dongle)

    I think, that TWO parallel cards should not be possible on the
    HPLX, as the most you can get from one PCMCIA socket is a single
    IRQ; but would prefer some first-hand experience.


    Question two: Have you thought into this tiny 486 webserver?
    Let's calculate: 0.8watts @ 5volt is 0.16 Amper. If we use
    5pcs size AA rech., then they will last (1350mAh Mack type)
    only about 8hrs. If it sucks 2watts, than autonomous life is
    further resticted to a mere 3h 20min. No match for the 200LX.

    Those who upgraded to DS and 32/64MB, stated that anything less
    then 12hrs of batt. life is unacceptable for useful palmtop. So
    it's out! Not to mention that the below described computer will
    look bulky with 5pcs AA batts and add the LCD, keyboard, too.
    BTW, it's an SX, so no FPU! (Needed for real work)

    I think that a solution would be using an Weitek or i860/960 based
    PCMCIA "numeric slave" card, that also has some flashdisk space on
    board. Once I've heard of an i960 based device, but can't recall.

                    Sincerely: Tamas Feher.

Hi Chris-

This is probably a dumb question, but are you sure the AC adapter was
really supplying current?  I've had to clean the power contacts on both
my old 100LX and the adapter because it wasn't making contact when
plugged in.  Before cleaning, checking BUDDY or LXSTAT showed the
palmtop was running on batteries even though the adapter was hooked up.
After cleaning, everything worked fine again.

HTH

Good question.  I wondered this myself.  I unplugged the adaptor, and
plugged it in again (after I was able to get it to reboot).  I fired
up LXPRO, and it told me that the unit was running off the adaptor.
This tells me that the adaptor at least works, but your point about
dirty contacts is well taken.  I'll never know about this incident,
as maybe my unplugging and re-plugging may have wiped any slight
buildup away...

Subject:      The latest news on 56K PCMCIA modems that work in the HP200LX
Mime-Version: 1.0 (generated by tm-edit 7.108)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

As you all know by now, I'm looking to buy a 56K PCMCIA modem for my
palmtop and desktop.

There are exactly three (3) people I can find in the whole world who
have ever used a 56K modem in a HP200LX.  Two of them use one card,
and the other uses a different card.  I'm still hoping to hear from
others who have used a 56K card in a HP200LX.

Here's the current status:

First-hand confirmation of 56K modems that work in a HP200LX
============================================================

1/ Smart Modular (Apex Data) 56K PCMCIA Modem (ST5614DFNAMSR)

Robert Hocking used this card in a HP200LX for six months.  Tom Boyles
(a Technical Support Engineer for Apex Data, and a long time LX'er)
told him that APEX's 56K modem draws 150mA and their 33.6K modem draws
138mA.

I have corresponded with Tom, and he has confirmed that he personally
has also used the 56K modem in the HP200LX on batteries.  He confirmed
the 138mA figure for the 33.6K modem, and said the 56K modem's power
consumption is similar to that of the 33.6K card.  He cautions that
neither card is 'officially' released by SMART Modular Technologies as
a modem card for the 100LX/200LX so you should use them at your own
risk.

This card is listed on shopper.com with a price range of $91 to $120.

2/ Diamond Supra 56K PCMCIA Modem

Brian Sugita uses this card in his HP200LX.  Unfortunately, he has
been unable to positively identify his card as being a XPR56KPC-XL1
(although I am still trying to confirm this with him).

This card is listed on shopper.com with a price range of $142 to $150.

Second-hand reports of 56K modems that work in a HP200LX
========================================================

None.

Rumours of 56K modems that work in a HP200LX
=============================================

1/ Simple Technology 56K PCMCIA Modem (STI-FAX/56SJ)

Bill Childers heard a rumour that the 56K Communicator by SimpleTech
will work.  He is trying to contact SimpleTech to confirm this.  There
has been no first or second-hand confirmation of this rumour.  Email
to support@simpletech.com has not been answered.

Manufacturers of 56K modems that specify compatibility with the HP200LX
=======================================================================

1/ Viking Components 56K PCMCIA Modem (WinCE version) (RFM56KPWINCE)

Viking's web site says that this card is "Designed for Windows CE
machines" and is "100% compatible with the HP LX200" (sic).

An email to Viking support drew the following response:

"Our card draws 175ma when in use. It is compatible with the HP and all
Windows CE 2.0 palm-PC's. We suggest only using it when attached to an
external a/c power supply."

So they haven't got clue about compatibility with the HP200LX.

Manufacturers of 56K modems that specify less than 150mA
========================================================

1/ Hayes Optima 56K PCMCIA Modem (08-03050)

Hayes specify a power requirement of 131mA @ 5V online, 6mA @ 5V
standby on their web site.

As Hayes have just gone out of business, this is probably not a good
buy.

This card is listed on shopper.com with a price range of $115 to $138.

Fall-back position
==================

If all else fails, I will be buying a SimpleTech 33.6K
(STI-FAX/33.6SJ) from firstsource.com for $100.

Everyone on the list seems to have this card, with a reported current
draw of 138mA.

Hi,

I don't think that this has anything to do with the ethernet card.
Maybe the cable of your DC adaptor is out of order - or maybe the
DC input jack of your palmtop.

Hi Rod, you seem to be quite well up on PCMCIA modems etc. I just joined the
mailing list this morning and maybe you can help. I bought a HP95lx and can
hardly beleive how much such a small computer can do. I realize it's on of
the older models but would you know where i can purchase a PCMCIA modem used
or new for my little palmtop?. I have received quite a few of the bbs
messages and all of them are very informative. Good group of people out
there. tnx Scott

Always get the EN2216-1 card.  The EN2216-2 has an RJ-45 jack and a BNC
connector for 10Base2, which uses too much power for the 200LX and makes
the connector a lot bulkier.

Subject:      While on Modems...
Content-Type: text

While we're talking about modems... I was shopping at a local computer
store for a printer cable, and got to talking with the man in front of
me in line.  He was buying one of the Megahertz XJ 28.8K modems for his
laptop.  The price seemed reasonable to me ($39), and they had 3 left.
Problem is, I have no idea how the 28.8 compares current-wise with my
trusty XJ1144 14.4K modem I've been using for years.

I would appreciate comments.

Also, I thought there was a web site or some other repository where
we were compiling a table of modems (and/or other PCMCIA cards) and
their current draw.  Have I been dreaming, or is this a real place?

Sorry about the funky thread follow-up.  Being subscribed to the digest
version has its problems...

IIRC, the Rio plugs into a parallel port, making this even more difficult.
But not impossible.  I believe that there is a number of PCMCIA parallel
port cards out there - I just haven't looked for any of them.  As for the
program only being available for Windows, good news.  Someone has also
release a linux version.  Linux code tends to be very portable, so one
avenue would be to port the Linux code to DOS... Probably easier than
porting the Windows code...

Of course... then you have to deal with even _slower_ download speeds
on the 200LX...

Anyway, just another active spectator or perhaps armchair quarterback.. or
maybe even just a back seat driver.  I still don't own a Rio.

Oops!

Sorry, Mitch (and others), Because I don't do Windows(R) I naively assumed
that the Win95/98 command line function acted as a DOS emulator, and that
programs written for it would also work from the DOS command line. Mea
culpa!

But with any luck, you have convinced the author to convert it to a DOS
version. Please keep us posted!

I have a Cirque Easy Cat touch pad that works OK with a MS mouse driver,
although I tend to overtravel on the HPLX screen.  ACAD will load for me
from the sysmgr screen as long as I don't load the mouse driver, but the
mouse driver grabs too much RAM, so to use it I have to start from DOS.
I have a second HP200LX thats a 1meg+1meg unit, so the 4 meg upgrade
would only take it to 5 meg, which would leave little room for ACAD with
all the other stuff I have loaded.  I want to upgrade the memory, but
what I've heard about the speed upgrade doesn't fill me with
confidence.  Any thoughts on this?

What is awesome?  I'm using an Easy Cat touch pad with the MS mouse

Take heart!  The speed upgrade (at least the Times2Tech one that I use) is as
nearly bullet proof as anything I have ever used.  I have NEVER had a problem
related to speed change. As long as you have something to reload the driver
from if something else not only crashes you, but also wipes out your memory,
you will never see a problem.  (Apologies to network card users who have other
problems.)

Cordially,

I also wanted a dictionary and had to search the web every weekend for
3 months to find a used copy of the American Heritage Dictionary for DOS
($14.95) at ECHO software.  I could find no source that had them in stock.
I called and emailed several software houses and the advice I got was always
the same ... keep looking.  I tried JORGE and didn't find it comprehensive
enough for my needs.  I am still on the waiting list at several used
software shops and if I get a call about an available dictionary I will post
it to the
list.

On a different track .... I downloaded the WINDI7 language dictionary from
www.windi7.com.  the DOS (smaller file size ... fewer words) version is
free.  As I found
myself using it a lot I bought the full windows dictionary with all the
bells and whistles.  After setting it up on my desktop I found that the full
sized windows
dictionary files were exactly the same format as the free dos files but had
many more words.  I copied them to my HP and now have a 45,000 word dos
based dictionary for translation on my palmtop.

No flame intended. I just thought I had menitoned it
enough, and maybe even to you. You know I have a bit of a
bias when it comes to PE, for some odd and strange reason
:-) ...

I agree with you 100% on the individual taste in things one
uses a lot like editor, calendar, PIM, etc... These are
very difficult to generalise, because everyone has a
different way to work, and even small differences can
render one piece of software totally useless, although "on
paper" it looks great...

And try that LIST by Buerg, it is very powerful. It even

Basically, LXMDRV.SYS is an extension to the operating
system which makes the storage part of the EXP card visible
as an F: drive. If the F: drive is already used (by the RAM
driver), then the EXP takes the next drive name, G:. will
be taken automatically.

The sequence of which name is taken first depends on which
driver you load first in the CONFIG.SYS.

The assignment happens automatically, so if you cannot see
your EXP drive as G: then something is faulty in the
CONFIG.SYS.

My recommendation for that driver (the EXP driver) is
differnet from the one EXP creates, I recommend this:

 DEVICE=a:\lxmdrv.sys

They copy that file to a subdirectory on C: and use it from
there, but this presents a major pain when your C: drive
suddenly becomes F: or G: or whatever, so I simply pick up
the driver from the original, namely the non-volatile part
of EXP, also known as A: drive.

Good luck.

Yeah, you might! :-) ... Sometimes PE is slow for me too
when it has to allocate stuff on a slow PCMCIA. When it
closes huge, huge files, that's where you pay the price of
PE - it takes quite some time to collect the file which is
sometimes splattered in may places on the drive, put them
into one coherent chunk and write it. This is very true when you edit
such huge files. I sometimes just do Menu Quit, and go take
a shower :) ...

The guy released the Win32 source code (command line) yesterday and it compiles
just fine under Red Hat 5.2. I just downloaded a song off the Rio onto the
Linux box and played the song with X11Amp (They Might Be Giants - Don't Let's
Start). He has no support yet for the additional SmartMedia 16MB card...yet.

Anyone with a DOS C++ compiler want to give it a try? Wonder if it will compile
with Sphinx C--? Probably not...

It seemed to be pretty slow under Linux when compared to the Windows software
that ships with the Rio.

Here's a wild idea, that I've implemented on my palmtop.  I got the
idea from a UNIX class I taught a couple of years ago.  Most UNIX
systems have a words file, usually in the /etc directory if I remember
correctly.   (I just tried to find it on my system, and it appears it
has been removed or relocated).  Anyway, this is a simple dictionary
of words, one per line, no definitions.  It is useful when you want to
check on the spelling of a word.  I use it in conjunction with grep
quite a bit.  If you have a shell account, it won't hurt to look in
the /etc directory and see if there is a words file.  Mine is about 450K
and has about 45K entries.

There was only one pcmcia modem that worked in the HP95 and it was
specially designed.  I don't recall its name.  It was slow and only
worked with its own software, if I recall correctly.

Many external modems worked and I believe that you needed to set it to
ignore a certain signal - generally done on another computer.

Take heart!  The speed upgrade (at least from Times2Tech)
is as nearly bullet proof as anything you can get.
I have NEVERhad a problem related to speed change.
As long as you have something to reload the driver
from as a flashcard.  While your at it, get the memory
upgrade too.

<What exactly is awsome, in your opinion?  The HPMOUSE driver,

Didn't try HPMOUSE. Moving the cursor with the built in
keyboard support of ACAD is tiring.

You can't possibly draw anything serious - just show off to
your girl friend (if she cares (g)) or to your collegues at
work.

Typically the file you are talking about is /usr/dict/words and there is
also a command "look" that lets you do the equivalent of a grep.  I also
use it to do my spelling, though back on first unix account it was
usually used as follows: cat /usr/dict/words | write cbdougla

Subject:      Spelling Checkers Etc.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Hello Everyone,

Words seem to be topical at the moment.  By that I mean that recently =
there have a number of queries on the availability of spelling checkers, =
dictionaries and thesauri (or even *thesauruses*, according to some =
dictionaries).

There have been several suggestions that might be suitable for use on =
Palmtops, over and above those in the review by Robert Rodney in The HP =
Palmtop Paper (July/August 1994).  Some are relatively expensive, but =
there is at least one small freeware spelling checker.

I recently acquired the Webster's variety of spelling checker from =
Thaddeus, but, excellent though it is, it seems that I may have got the =
last copy.  According to Hal Goldstein (got him right this time now he's =
in my Webster's checker!), Thaddeus can't get the legal rights to =
replicate the disk.  Exit Webster's.

I have several questions about the Webster's New World Spelling Checker, =
but will limit it to one now, if anyone can help please.  Apparently the =
main dictionary comes already compressed, at least on the 3.5" disk.  I =
have the original 5.25" disk but the only computer in this lab. capable =
of accepting this size was unable to read the disk.  So I need to know =
how to uncompress the 3.5" disk in order to be able to delete words from =
the main dictionary.

The reason for this requirement is that Webster's contains a range of =
contractions both with and without punctuation, such as *al* and *al.* =
together.  It also includes *fr* which means that the misspelling of =
*for* by dropping a letter to make *fr* is not picked up.  There are =
other examples, including North American spelling that some users may =
wish to modify.

I might throw another curly one into the ring.  Would there be any merit =
and sufficient demand to make a worthwhile project in modifying or =
updating an existing spelling checker specifically for handheld users?  =
This could be done for spelling, since no-one has property in the =
spelling of words, though it would be much more difficult for a =
dictionary or thesaurus. =20

Presumably it would require a co-ordinated team effort with each member =
covering a few letters of the alphabet to check out and list; plus of =
course more recent words of a technical nature leaning towards computer =
usage.

Is this a feasible idea or have I been out in the Aussie sun too much?

Hi Mitch,

I'm a bit confused about the new software-additions-mail (Your mail from
26 Jan), there are listed a lot of progs out of dezember 98. Some I know yet
it seems to me. One of the oldest announced files is out of May 98. Is it a
mail-robot-confusion <g> or how come?

I have 4 units of 200LX with memory and speed upgrades from Times2 Tech
and I have never experienced any problem with the speed upgrade. Once you
have tried it, you don't want to be without it! I highly recommend you
to go for both the memory and speed upgrade.

Sorry for the confusion, but yes, that email is generated automatically by a
perl script and sometimes it gets a bit confused. This last time we made a
bunch of changes to files that had already been uploaded and that probably
tripped it up. Just ignore the older stuff and relize that it's a dumb machine
making those mistakes not a dumb guy (me). :)

Hi.
The subject of the Megahertz 28.8K modems has come up a number of times on
the list, and every one I can recall who has tried has found that they
draw too much current.

David Sargent's site (www.hplx.net) has a link to an online database of
accessories that DO work in the LXes.

I'm not sure I agree with that statement... at least not for the
reasons listed (mouse operations).  Even on the desktop, back in
R10 days there were many times I prefered to use the cursor keys
to the mouse.

I'm still troubled by the screen scrambling, and have been awaiting
someone on the list to teach me about the HP CGA interface and its
differences from a real CGA card.

Glad you have it working.

Thanks.  Can you tell me the exact URL of this link?  I couldn't find it

Actually, it's not my site, but a site I provide redirection to.  Go to

Yeah, I'm a unix guy. What I really want is "real" dictionary like the
collins dictionary advertised on thaddeus. The Collins dictionary was not
available for a while but now soon will. Now I have to decide if I need it
bad enough to shell out 60 bux.... decisions, decisions.

NOTE: It's late at night, I'm tired, I'm grumpy, and this is what came
out.  If you don't want to hear about my wireless dilemma and the plague
that IS Windows CE, then don't read this message.

***

Sometimes I wonder if we 200LX users are the only sane people left in the
world.  Before I explore that statement too much further, I'd better
explain what's going on.

Until December 31, I was signed up for a service (for the past two years)
with RadioMail.  I have a 3Com Allpoints card that I can put in the 200LX
and, by running the RadioMail client software, I can receive e-mail most
anywhere right to the palmtop.  I used this because I'm the system
administrator for a plumbing and air conditioning service company and I
also attend school at the local university.  When I'm at school, if
there's a problem, they need a way to contact me.  Paging and cell phone
are out because A) it would create some disturbance in the classroom, B)
there would be no way for me to respond instantly to a page and no
realistic way to take a cell phone call in the middle of a class, and C)
for a pager, I would have to find a phone to call them back... no easy
task.  So wireless e-mail is ideal: I can receive mail at my desk without
disturbing anybody, and type in detailed instructions on how to fix
whatever problems they're having.  (Interestingly, e-mail almost never
goes out, because it's on a Linux machine; file services off of the
NetWare and Windows boxes are continually going down, however.)  Because
it would allow handy communication, we decided wireless e-mail was the
best way to go, and it has served quite well for the past two years.  It
was pretty limited on the amount of data or the number of messages you
could send and receive each month, but that was fine.  I heard about
services that allowed you to run web browsers and e-mail applications on
the Allpoints for wireless 9600bps access almost anywhere in any major
city in the US (with no roaming charges and no charges for time) but I
didn't need any of that.  It was fine the way it was.  Okay, I admit, if =
I
really believed I could have gotten unlimited web and e-mail access for
the same price ($59.95 a month) I would have gone for it in a second...
but I was skeptical, so I figured "Don't make waves."  Things were doing
well the way they were.

Unfortunately, as of December 31, 1998, RadioMail discontinued their
traditional e-mail service, essentially just cutting me off.  (And =
without
informing me, I might add.  But that's a separate issue.)  Well, no
problem, I thought-- I'd been meaning to switch over to WyndMail anyway,
because they offer four times the number of messages per month for the
same price.  So I called them up, and... they've discontinued WyndMail =
and
moved everything over to their new WyndTell handheld pager.  Well, great.
Now I'm stuck with NO wireless e-mail service at all.

"BUT WAIT," they tell me.  "If you really need to use your stupid ol'
Allpoints card, contact GoAmerica at www.goamerica.net.  They still
provide service." Okay, fine.  Go America, incidentally, is the company
that bought out the Zap-It wireless mail service provider in July.  So I
visit their web site, and it's great!  They offer a plan for $59.95 with
UNLIMITED data per month (not the 100K-or-100-messages per month plan of
RadioMail, or the 400K-per-month plan of WyndMail, both also $59.95 per
month).  In addition, GoAmerica also lets you do web browsing, and they
do support the Allpoints card.  Great!  This was going to be fine.

UNFORTUNATELY... in order to use their service, you have to have a =
Windows
CE device, or a Win95/98 laptop.  No exceptions.  No room for discussion.
They only support "new" machines.

And if, by some miracle, all of my needs CAN be met by Windows CE
programs... can I fit them all on the machine at the same time?  How's =
the
internal memory?  How's support for a huge flash card?

And if, by some other miracle, I DO get all of the things I need on the
handheld and am ready to go somewhere... can I fit it in my pocket?  Will
the batteries still be any good by the time I get where I'm going?

And finally, even if all of the above issues were resolved... I can't =
type
worth a sack of beans on any of the WinCE machines.  The 200LX's keyboard,
strange and chiclet-like though it is, has allowed me to achieve speeds =
of
up to 70WPM.  All of my short stories, school reports, and
partially-completed novels have been written on the 200LX since I started
using it over four years ago.  What would I have gotten done with Windows
CE?  Hard to say, but not as much.

I just don't see Windows CE being an alternative to my 200LX.  And yet =
I'm
forced to get one.  Why?  Because I want to do something difficult?
Because I want to do something that requires so much power, so much
advanced technology, that the 200LX simply doesn't have the horsepower =
for
it?  The fearsome task for which I need a massive RISC CPU and a
pocket-splitting size size is... e-mail.  Sending and receiving simple,
ASCII messages.  Small ones, too.  Nothing big.  Nothing fancy.  Just
enough to avoid infuriating my boss and forcing me to choose between
school and my job.

So today I went to look for a Windows CE machine, kicking myself all the
way, and what did I find?  Nothing.  Well, that's not entirely accurate.
What I found was:

1) A whole lot of Palm"PC" devices designed to compete with the PalmPilot.
No keyboard.  Extremely expensive toys.

2) Quite a few 660LX palmtops for $900.  WAY out of my price range, and
way too bulky.

3) A 620LX on clearance for $588.  Still WAY out of my price range.

4) A fair number of Jornada 800 series machines.  I won't even comment.

So, after all this, nobody even sells a regular Windows CE machine
anymore.  It's either a hulking behemoth (Jornada), a massively overpriced
slightly-less-hulking behemoth (620/660LX), or a ridiculously
overpriced GameBoy ripoff (Palm"PC" machines).

Do they actually sell these things?  Who BUYS them?

This has gone on a lot longer than I originally planned, and I fear that
it will be rejected by Al's line-length filters (and, since this message
was rejected, I'd say I had reason to fear), so I'd better wrap it up. =
Let
me just say: What is wrong with the world?  Why would a useless product
like WinCE and the like replace something with some actual usability, =
like
the 200LX?  What do we need to do to grab the world by the collar, shake
it viciously, slap it around a little, and shout "COME TO YOUR SENSES
ALREADY!" ?  I say we should all send bulk e-mail to the presidents of =
the
companies that manufacture WinCE devices, and also Microsoft, and urge
them to come back down to earth until the barrage of messages either
causes them to comply or to go insane (which would serve them right, if
only for what they've put me through.)

Okay.  I think I'm done.  If anybody knows of any wireless e-mail
solutions that can be done with the Allpoints card, the 200LX, any
combination of the two, or any other wireless solution for the 200LX that
doesn't involve a cellular phone, I'd appreciate hearing about it.  If
somebody wants to volunteer to write GoAmerica some software that will =
run
on the 200LX, even better.  Thanks.

I think I'll post that last paragraph in a separate message as well...
just in case people don't read this far.

Sadly, Ricochet is not available in the Las Vegas area, and "they have no
plans to make it available."

With GoAmerica service, the Allpoints should be close to the functionality
of Ricochet, except a little slower (and probably fewer services).  But it
covers 93% of the urban population of the US, which is nice.

since december 24th i've been using a Novetel Wireless sage CDPD modem
and  Bell Atlantic mobile's "Airbridge Wireless IP" service.  it's $55/mo.
unlimited and works like a big pocket modem doing ppp.

A
of course, i did have to buy the sage for $200 and sign a 1 year
contract, but i've so dfar been generally happy with the service.
living in nyc, i sometimes get a horrible signal/transfer rate, and
the airbridge lan is a bit... crazy.. but i do have the ability
to pop/smtp my mail while i travel to/from work et al.  on my 200lx
of course..


though DOS is not specifically supported, once you initialize the sage
with your IP and service info, it really doesn't matter what OS you're
connecting it to so long as it supports PPP (should work with slip as
well, but i haven't had the chance to test it out).

there are a few companies that make CDPD external modems, with varying
specs and costs.  the sage fits my budget welland has some interesting
features while lacking others.  battery life is ~2 hours continous use
on rechargable NiMH batt. pack.

there are also a bunch of carriers you can go with for CDPD service..
i'd recommend testing out a few bvefore getting stuck on the contract.
while bell atlantic isn't so bad, i'm not thrilled at the quality of
service i'm getting.

from what i understand, goamerica  should support the sage no problemo,
though price of the unit may cvary (MRP = ~$450).

Subject:      pocket modem on ebay

There's a megahertz 9 volt pocket modem for sale on ebay. this should work
with an LX.

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=59778867

good luck.

I bought a zoom pocket modem on ebay and it was a great deal.

Hi,

I loaded the EmTex version for the LX (LXTEX - arranged by Stephan
Luettjohann) and installed it on my Flash card.

Runs very well, but the printing doesn't work.
I think it's because of incorrect printer fonts.

May it be that this version is preinstalled for a HP laser jet?
I've got a Canon BJC 4100 connected to my COM1 port and the printed
output looks like "A A_}=B2E%=B2V9"T /O >:)(hUO87=A7" and so on.

What can I do to make it work???
Thanks,
Daniel.

Who is this person? ;-)  (Yeah, I know...)

I want to tell him about WWW/LX Plus, NetTamer, and Going
Postal - he is a good writer, but maybe not knowledgeable
on what exists for his 200LX. In addition to these three
solutions (y'all know which is my favorite! <G>...) There
are probably two or three others that can be cobbled
together and made to work on the palmtop. Forgive me if I
did not mention the exhaustive list of names...

It was me that wrote the message... but I had to have Al forward it
because it was too long for the list.

I know what's available for the 200LX... the trouble is, the wireless
service providers won't support "regular" software like WWW/LX or Goin'
Postal or LXTCP.

He read the instructions correctly. It seems he does have an AC
adapter and it also seems that it works with his 100/200LX. I
have no idea why this works (except the protection diode
theory sounds plausible) and I certainly DO NOT recommend using
an AC adapter with a 100LX or 200LX.

In WWWLX does anyone know if there is a way to flay email and/or
news group postings so I can't delete them (without turning off
the delete protect flag)?

I get to deleting a bunch of mail and end up deleting 1 too
many.  Ctrl-U will un-delete ALL of them but then I have go and
delete most of them again.  I've done this often enough I'd like
to turn onsome sort of protect flag on items I know I want to
keep around for awhile.

I agree with your position but you have too look at it from the
business side as well. They don't want to spend time and money
supporting a very small audience, especially one that is viewed as
obsolete. I am sure they support all the latest systems but you want
to use a system that commercially is quite out of date and not
supported by most companies any longer, with the fine exceptions
represented on this list.

What would be nice is if they would give you enough information to
use preexisting software for your purposes, on the condition that you
didn't demand that they actively support your unusual setup. Odds are
that they are using standard protocols and something could be easily
adapted to work but they don't want to even bother to try and be
helpful.

For the record this is the exact same problem you face with any
system that is not mainstream. Try talking to your average ISP about
connecting an Amiga machine or even a Linux box in many cases and
they will look at you like you have three eyes and tenticles
sprouting from your forehead.

Hi Russ,

What I do is mark the files that I want to delete with the space key
after I'v read them.

Then after I'm done , I then use Shift+Del and select marked.
Or you can mark the ones that you want to keep and then select unmarked
to delete.

I use the unmarked to delete for my saved news,

That's a good idea.  I was also hoping to be able to do this without having

Any other suggestions?

Subject:      Need DOS help!

This should be simple, but I can't figure it out!  Everything was working fine until I added another environmental variable in my autoexec.bat and finally ran out of environmental space.  So, I added the line:

shell=d:\dos\command.com d:\dos\ /e:512

as the last line in my config.sys file.  Now, whenever I reboot, it runs the config.sys file and then just stops at the DOS prompt without automatically running the autoexec.bat file.  I can then run the autoexec.bat file by typing autoexec at the prompt, and everything is fine.  Why is it not running the autoexec.bat file automatically after it runs the config.sys file?  What am I doing wrong?

TIA,

     I have a USR WorldPort 24/96 PocketMODEM That I'm done playing
with. It is only 2400 data, but 9600 FAX. No manual, and only a short

Why can't you use a "vibrating cellphone" to signal you have a message
from WORK and then you log on using the cell phone wired to the HP to
retrieve the email message and send back using email?  Work would have
to do both - compose an email with the problem and then dial the
cellphone to signal you have a message?  Probably a bit cumbersome. (G)

I do the same thing - instead I try to SAVEAS using Shift-F10 and
basically save items to "logical" categories.  Or you can also MOVE
items.  Then delete everything else.

Well, now that I've had a 95LX for about two weeks, all I can say is--Wow!

If the 95LX is this useful, I can only imagine how attached all of you must
be to your 200 and 100LXs.  I'm really enjoying using this palmtop, even in
its more
limited functionality.  With all this, of course a few questions have arisen:

Cleaning--What should be used to clean smudges from the screen without
scratching
the display?  And what are some basic recommendations for care and upkeep
of the
unit?

File Transfer--I've sent off for a 95LX serial cable from Thaddeus, but a
question
arises.  When I get the cable, how do I transfer files to the 95LX without the
Connectivity Software?  Am I correct in thinking that I can connect the
cable to
the serial port on my laptop, and connect to the palmtop via my communications
software in both machines?

Any answers will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

If you just need to replace the radio e-mail service but use your
200LX for everything else, you might consider a two-way pager.

My pager is the Motorola PageWriter with SkyTel's SkyWriter service.
My company had to buy the pager for about $350, but the service is
only about $25 a month for a limited number of characters.

I can send and receive e-mails from this little unit. Typing is
somewhat of a pain, but I usually don't want to send long messages on
it.

Not sure about the 95LX but on the 200, I use TransFile Win on the PC, you
can find it on the internet fairly easy and then setup filer on the LX if
the 95LX has it.  That is how I move files.

That's generally the objection to that sort of setup... plus I would have
to carry the cellphone with me too, and worry about that.  Finally, it's
not as elegant as the Allpoints card, and (with the new service, $59.95 a
month for unlimited web and e-mail) it's not as cost-effective.

Not a stupid question, but I won't guarantee that for my
answer :-) ...

When you save the file, provide the name, then press space
and P, then enter. It will ask for the password twice. If
you forget the password, it is crackable, mostly, but it is
also a pain!

I am not sure what you mean by "delete protect flag" - what
is it?

AFAIK, you cannot protect emails from deletion. What
happens when you delete a message is that it is _marked_
for deletion. You can set to manual packing instead of
autopacking (packs out deleted messages each time you quit
the program). Once a message is packed it will be really
gone. Messages that are only _marked_ for deletion do not
show in the message list, but can be undeleted.

Well, all the undeleted messages are marked with a diamond
character, so you can find the ones you want to preserve,
press space bar or m (and their diamond will disappear)
then Shift-Del and choose marked. That will delete again
the ones that remained marked, i.e. were just recently
undeleted.

Well I composed the following email to David but mistyped his address
so I will just post it here for all to see.

David,

As a solution to your problem consider a vibrating cellphone with
data/fax capability. If you sign up to a GSM provider you get SMS,
voice mail boxes, caller id etc. as part of the basic
service($20/month with 100 minutes airtime in my case). Data/fax
usually costs extra ($5 a month for me).

In class the phone is set to vibrate. They have a problem, type it up in
email, send it to you and then call you on the cell phone -
you glance at phone see the work no. on screen thanks to caller Id.
Don't even answer the call just let it expire and then collect an email
message from them via the cellular data connection, compose reply and
transmit.

Alternatively they could notify you via SMS.

Or perhaps the best method would be direct data transfer of the
problem as data. When data/fax is enabled on a GSM connection you are
given a seperate phone number for data only. The company could call
this number, the phone would vibrate, you would see the call
identified as data, whip out the cable and make a connection between
palmtop and phone, fire up datacomm and have a two way conversation
with the person communicating the problem or just receive a file
containing an outline of the problem, go offline, compose reply and
transmit direct to the company (either via ISP or direct dialup
modem).

The cell phone I use is a Sagem phone that has integrated data/fax
modem (only one available for US at the moment) and just needs a serial
connection to the palmtop.

Of course the above may be more hassle than your company wants to deal
with.

I had the same problem. Thought I could ignore it initially except that one
line became five lines. I opened the display and cleaned the contacts I

the IC board of the display unit. I eventually sent it to Thaddeus who
repaired it for me for $125.

On that subject, if I can digress just a bit...does anyone know how if it's
possible to use Direct Cable Connect to an NT 4.0 machine from a Win 95 box?

I have the same bright yellow parallel cable from PCAnywhere, but haven't
found the equivalent to Win95's DCC under NT's communications setups, and
would like to use it to cable my Omnibook 800 to my NT desktop.

Email responses would be appreciated.

Folks,

At the moment, the problem with accessing Mitch's server seems to be
something weird with his network (at least something different enough
from the two external places I've tested connecting to my home network
that they program doesn't handle that situation).  The detail is that
the FTP server on the palmtop is not creating the data connection back
to the remote client.  We haven't yet worked out why it is not doing
that.

The program will no longer hang, but just dump you off if you try any
commands which need a separate data connection (which is all the
useful commands).

Silly question: Does anyone else have a spare HP200LX and ethernet
card, connected to the Internet, that they could run lxtelnet on, so
that we could see whether Mitch is the odd one out, or whether I'm the
odd one out ?

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

Hi,

I have a problem with my 200LX.
I only noticed it while it plays sounds (like alarms or the COM files
from the "PIANOMAN" package):

After a few seconds playing sound the speed of my 200LX slows down to -
approx. - 2/3 or 1/2 of it's original speed.

Does someone know the "blazes.com" music from "PIANOMAN"? It sounds
terrible!! Another example: I use the "HP Alarm Clock v1.1" and if it
wakes me up, it sounds like "beep beep beep beep -- beep beep beep beep
-- beeep - beeep - beeep - beeep ----- beeep - beeep ....."
The first beeps are in normal speed but after a few beeps it becomes
slower.
But: the frequency of the tones doesn't change.

My 200LX is not doublespeeded and has no other upgrade.

Thanks for help,
Daniel.

                EPOC NEWS  ARTICLE




                       EPOC Times Exclusive:
                Framework Port to the Series 5!



                Software in Development



                Source: News Submission, Boris Alcaraz



                Selections & Functions Ltd., who have now taken over the
                development of Framework, a PC based application, have
                published details of a Psion compatible version that will
                synchronise and share files with a desktop equivalent.

                Framework, which was first developed by Ashton-Tate and
                later taken over by Borland is a personal productivity suite
that
                "brings together word processing, spreadsheet, data
                management, code-less hypertext, text-based interpreter, and
                rapid development computer language in a context-based,
                highly-consistent, object-driven user interface."

                Whilst Framework will work under Windows 95/98 and NT, it
                retains its independence as a DOS application. This enables
it
                to benefit from speed advantages. The most current versions
                are V and VI although files are compatible amongst ALL
                versions that have been released to date.

                "While adjusted to run under Windows, Framework is
                compatible with virtually all DOS versions. Versions of
                Framework with the same file format can run on XT, 286, 386,
                as well as various hand held computers and the HP 200LX
                palmtop. Framework files are transparently compatible
                between versions III, IV, V and VI. Files created with older
                versions can be transparently loaded into newer versions. In
a
                mixed environment, say, of a palmtop machine running
                Framework IV or Framework V LX, exchanging files with a
                Windows 95 machine running Framework VI, the older version
                can load the newer version files, ignoring, and at the same
                time preserving newer version's attributes such as colors
and
                proportional fonts."

                A customised version has been developed that works on
                handheld machines, such as the HP 200LX and Psion Series
                5.

                "While the Psion version is new, it is running on a beta
version
                of a DOS emulator, it is seems to provide an overall better
                solution than the HP 200LX. The Psion machine's screen is
                larger and is a back lighted, making the machine more useful
                since Framework display 25 lines (CGA graphics) on both
                machines. The Psion uses a touch screen to emulate all 12
                function keys making it easier to interface with Framework.
                The Psion speed is about the same as the fastest version of
                the 200LX. There is also a possibility that 200LX software
can
                run on the Psion albeit details are too fresh. Framework
files
                and applications can be shared between the Psion and
                Framework VI running on any Windows based desktop making
                it easy to synchronise, update and share data with desktop
                machines."

                As an application suite, Framework offers file management,
                outlining, word processing, hypertext development,
                spreadsheets, databases, graphics, email and so forth. The
                most useful aspect of the program, however, is the ability
to
                offer an alternative method of desktop connectivity.

                Whilst PsiWin is evolving into a powerful product, many
users
                still find it difficult or to "shallow" for their
requirements. The
                development of Framework may well offer a useful alternative
                for some users.

                Framework is available in a number of languages, details of
                which can be found on their web site.

Subject:      maximum DOS memory on 1MB 200lx?

Hello,
I am new to the 200LX, and rusty in DOS.

I have a 1 MB 200LX  and have recently installed a 15mb flash card. I am
interested mostly in running DOS programs and in temporarily disabling the
HP shell.  How does one do it  and will it "fail safe"? (I can't find the
floppy drive on the HP that always bailed me out when messing with the
config.sys & autoexec.bat files in the days when DOS ruled, and am
therefore naturally gun-shy :)

How much DOS memory is it possible to eke out of a 1 MB machine?

Thanks,
Charles

Hi Charles.

With the flash card in you should have at least drives A:, C:, and D:

A: represents the flash card, C: represents the RAM, and D: is your ROM.

Your default autoexec.bat and config.sys are on the ROM in the root
directory.  If you copy those two files to the root directory on C:
the unit will use those to boot up with.  By modifying these files
on C: you can remove the line near the bottom of the autoexec.bat that
should just say "100".  This is the command that calls the system
manager.  By deleting this like you will be able to run straight DOS.

As far as bailing you out.  The system allows you to pick which drive
you want to boot from, so if you mess something up.  You can always
boot from the ROM and then go back and edit things on drive C:.

Finally, you can get very close to 640K DOS memory out of the 100LX.  Put
most of your programs on your flash card or drive A: and finally you
might look into using a program called MaxDOS.  It is available on SUPER
and allows programs to swap to the flash card, basically eliminating the
possible memory constraints. :)

I hope this helps!

Well, I've got a spare 2M 1x 200LX, but only a standard modem card
(Megahertz XJ2144).  I don't suppose that could be set up to suit?

At work we have a network of several dozen Windows boxes running
Netware and connected to the Internet (I'm not sure exactly how).
I've considered looking for an ethernet card, but have not gotten
motivated to do so.  Does anyone know of an inexpensive source?

Hello Stephen,

how much would you like for the pocket modem 8-)
the bid for the unit on ebay was at $11 when I looked
this morning.

I do, but I'm behind a firewall that filters out any queries from the
outside world (there are some exceptions, but basically you have to be
an employee to access us).  Sorry.

While there is this flurry of activity on palmtop ftp servers, is it
possible to include a tftp program, as well?

I did this a couple of months ago with my W98 to W95 machine.  I just looked
on my office NT machine, and I can't find it anywhere!  Why would they
eliminate this from the OS?

Yes, you can do it via the comms software, but there are other (and IMO
better) ways too. There is a neat little file transfer program on SUPER
(www.palmtop.net) called ZIP that allows very fast and easy transfers.
Also, I think someone once said he got Transfile running with the 95LX,
but I'm not sure.

Yes, it requires you to dissemble the display housing and clean the
polymer strips and contacts.  Not easy, but I think there's a resource
on the web explaining the process in detail.  I don't know the location
of the resource, but I think others on the list will.

Subject:  Framework for Psion 5 and HP200LX




<snip>
Framework Port to the Series 5!

<snip>
A customised version has been developed that works on
handheld machines, such as the HP 200LX and Psion Series 5.

"While the Psion version is new, it is running on a beta version
of a DOS emulator, it is seems to provide an overall better
solution than the HP 200LX. The Psion machine's screen is
larger and is a back lighted, making the machine more useful
since Framework display 25 lines (CGA graphics) on both
machines. The Psion uses a touch screen to emulate all 12
function keys making it easier to interface with Framework.
The Psion speed is about the same as the fastest version of
the 200LX. There is also a possibility that 200LX software
can run on the Psion albeit details are too fresh.

<snip>

Interesting...maybe this is David Sargeant's dream machine <g>.

Anyone has one of these (Psion 5) and can comment on its speed relative to a 2x
200LX? At $389 for an 8mb model, I'd have to think there was a major gotcha
somewhere.

Amazing that Framework is still being resurrected (I use FW-4 on my 2x LX). Next
thing will be for Psion-5's to be running PAL applications and Agenda and
InfoSelect (and it doesn't look too unlikely)...but will it run or crawl (or
crash and burn)?

Thanks for looking. NT provides a service called "Dial-up Networking"...maybe
that's their connectivity path, tho it seems incompatible with DCC via a

I did this a couple of months ago with my W98 to W95 machine.  I just looked
on my office NT machine, and I can't find it anywhere!  Why would they
eliminate this from the OS?

Unfortunately this will not fix the screen problem in most cases (99%) as
the problem is bad soldering on the display driver chips.  You will most
likely ruin the screen attempting a cleaning of the polymer strips and it
won't fix the problem in most cases anyways.

Felix,

there was a bit of discussion lately about Marcan going out of business
and selling their 4mb upgrades cheaply. www.marcan-dist.com is their
address. I am a happy customer that is running mack's 2x speed upgrade
and marcan's memory. The big difference is that marcan does not have
an emm driver. I posted a while ago about how to use the emm200 driver
and make a paging file with debug if this is what you need.

If you think about it, Times2 Tech offers a much better deal at $94 for a
4MB/double speed kit and Thaddeus sells the same thing installed for $119.
You get the speed upgrade, 4MB memory module that will continue to be
supported, Thaddeus offers extended warranties, and you get the EMM driver.

Cheers,
Mack

I ordered a 33.6 simple technologies modem and received a 56k (a phone call
from the dealer was on my voice mail this morning saying the dealer was out
of the 33.6k modems and would substitute the higher speed modem at no
additional cost).  Being curious, I put the 56k in my Hp, invoked www/lx
and downloaded a couple of files (I was starting to get excited about this
modem).  The modem worked perfectly for about 15 minutes.  After 15 minutes
the screen on my hp started fading ... as it  often does when charging.
The screen soon faded completely and nothing I could do would make it
readable.  The hp was actually working and responded to my keystrokes to
exit www/lx.   I turned off the hp and removed the 56k modem and all is
well.  The modem was very hot when I removed it.  Soon the screen  restored
to normal and the hp appears to be ok.
back to slower and safer speeds

Does anyone have the old version NT1.08 for palmtops that they could
email me?  The version I have gives me errors when used in a minimal
install onto the c: drive of my 100lx (1 meg model); i.e. no reader on
C:. I have NT1.08XT but like the palmtop specific better.

Also - on a different subject - has anyone ever gotten anything to run
with Windows 3.0 on a 100lx with 1 meg of memory?  The only thing I
could run without memory errors was Notepad. Is it something I might be
doing or should I be grateful that I got it running at all?

And a late repsonse to the Honkin File Editor subject - I use List a
lot, but when zooming up a step to read a file, you have to contend with
moving around with the menu/whatever keys to see the whole screen or
risk missing lines when paging down.  A palmtop specific list-type
program would be great; the F8 option in the File Manager is okay but
you can't page down one-handed with the space bar. (A big requirement in
my p.o.v..)  I also tried View after a mention on the list but it makes
you switch modes back and forth to 80x25 before doing anything and was
just too much of a hassle for the disk space.  Is a good palmtop-List
program really asking too much?

(And I just wanted to add that PE and Lxdr are both wonderful programs
that I use almost daily - they just aren't 'List')

I've really learned alot from lurking on this list.  Thanks,

Dear friends,
after 2 months of travel glad to be back at home and back on the
list. Dictionaries seem to be the topic. So I submit my
problem:
I installed Collins from Thaddeus, but I cannot call the
dictionary from within the word processor PE which I have put
into the Collins directory. At the DOS prompt I call the TSR
(collins.exe -r) and the dictionary pops up allright when I
press ALT SPACEBAR, according to indications on the DOS screen. However,
going back to DOS (with F10, leaving the TSR in memory) and
call PE, pressing ALT SPACEBAR to call the dictionary
erely produces a beep.
What happens ?
Thanks in advance

I got it! Just the word and I'll send it.

Try running Win30 under Maxdos. With Maxdos I'm able to run all of the
accessories that came with Win30 plus Word and Excel.

also make sure that you have "set temp=a:\temp" file set in you autoexec.bat
since you have a 1MB unit I guess you have Win30 installed on a flash
card. That why I used the "set temp=a:\temp"

Hi All:

     I'm trying to build a DB9 to DB25 NULL MODEM adapter. Does someone
have the pin connections handy?

Thank you for the speedy response about Nettamer v1.08. I'm looking
forward to trying it out.

Also to Quinton Jones for the Windows 3.0 hints - I was hoping to avoid
using extra stuff like MaxDos.  I'll have to check it out before I chuck
the idea of Windows.

Does anyone know what happened to the company Plug Power?  I have two

Is that the same model of adapter as sold by Thaddeus/T2T?

I don't know.  I'll have to go check out their website.  STANDBY...

Hmmmm.... not a very good picture, but it sure looks very similar.  I
got mine after someone on this mailing list recommended we check out
power plug's small switching power supplies.  I think I was the first
one to get one for and HP, since I had to help them identify the
exact connector/polarity we needed.  Maybe Thaddeus bought them out?!?

Hi Winfried,

Which version of Eudora are you using?

Anyway start by looking under ToolOptions.

also Help Topics Index then type "HTML"

If none of the above helps post to : " comp.mail.eudora.ms.windows "
newsgroup.

Subject:      Fast locate by date fields...
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

I figured out a really easy way to do a fast-locate by date fields.

For those who didn't follow the previous discussion, the idea is that if
you have a database with a "Date" field, you should be able to do a
fast-locate on it to find a record quickly.  (Fast locate being when you
open the database and start typing and it finds the record.)
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work with date fields-- only with text
fields.

The way to get it to work with date fields is: add a blank text field to
the database, and leave it blank (I called mine Datesort.) Then do a
"Sort" and sort by Datesort as the first field, and your actual date field
(Mine's called "Title") second.  Now, assuming the date field (again,
"Title" in mine) is the first column in the regular display, you can fast
locate by typing things like "01-29-98" for Jan. 29, 1998, assuming your
machine is set up to display dates that way.  If you're configured to
display them as "99-01-29" you have to search by typing "99-01-29."  But
I'm sure you all get the idea.  <g>

Certainly.  All it needs is someone to program it :-)

Are you talking about a tftp server or client ?

Don't tell me you're going to try and boot your network *from* the HP ?

It could - but you might be limited by the disk space.  You'd need to
set up DOSPPP (which I know you're already an expert at), then tell
lxtelnet to bootp from the DOSPPP packet driver.

USD$53 - USD$65 from www.shopper.com (search for "Accton EN2216-1").

Chris, the HP palmtop is designed to provide only 150 ma to
the PCMCIA port.  I don't know the electronics that does this,
but the limit is caused by the power supply and voltage
conversion circuits.  They have to convert the variable 2.4 -
3.2 volts from the batteries to the regulated 5 volts that the
slot gets.

While the AC adapter is connected to the palmtop, the
batteries are not used, but the same power conversion circuits
are used to make the 5 volts for the slot.  This is why the
150 ma limit still applies even when on external power.

Sometimes, more current can be provided to the slot, but it is
putting a strain on the circuits, causing a lot of heat, and
will most likely burn something out after a while.

Hi Pete Rissler,

Here's one way to do, Create the following batch file and call it
"nglist.bat":

www -d "news2.exe -l"

BTW: I how thatyour palmtop has enough room to store the downloaded
list. (:-)

Let me know how it works out.

Thanks David,

Just tried it and it worked great.

FYI: I put Datesort as the last field in the Database and it still
worded.

David,

Clever way to get speed locate to work with a date field.

And, of course a similar trick works for speed locating numeric fields an=
d
time fields. =


 I'd just finished writing an article in which I described my method for
doing the same thing. (I created a AlphaDate field but went to all the
trouble of copying and pasting the dates from the Date Field into the

That's the way I first tried it too... thanks to Russell Hemery, who came
up with it.  The trouble is, I have an existing database of 522 records
that's about 400K, and it would really be painful to go through each one
and copy and paste to the textual date field.

You're right-- doing it the other way is a bit faster.  It's probably
worth the time savings for me, anyway, of not changing my 522 records.

You might want to point out, as Quinton Jones mentioned, that you can make
the text field the last one in the database, and even put it on another
screen (PgDn) so you don't ever have to see it.

I don't have one, but I have been checking them out and playing
around with a friends.  The machine is nice and features a
unique keyboard with notebook PC sized keys that you can touch
type on.  The only disadvantages to the unit I can see is are

1 - No PC Card slot, just a compact flash slot
This is fine for memory but no modem card for this unit

2 - Not very durable.  Heard that the unit is suffering
from all kinds of small failures including a hinge crack
problem. (Hmmm, where have I seen that before?)  The good
thing about this is Psion seems more than happy to fix
things for free when they do break.

Rod (the genius) finally figured out the problem with the palmtop ftp server
running here on palmtop.net. It should work pretty well now, but realize that
it doesn't multitask. If someone else is using the server, your client will be
queued.

I also put up a doctored supernew.htm page on the ftp server so if you are
browsing the paltmop server with a web browser you can experience what is
probably the world's first 200LX-based pseudo web server.

Which reminds me of a funny story:

A friend of mine in Dallas was telling his coworkers about palmtop.net. They
pulled it up on a web browser and they were only semi-impressed. Then he told
them it was all running on a network of 200LX palmtops, nothing else. Jaws
dropped all around. He never came clean with them. :)

Mitch & I found the problem with lxtelnet, and now the following link

Here's your chance to be a beta tester for LXTCP, without even having
to download the program!

Note that if more than 20 of you decide to click the following link
at the same time, then the server will break and Mitch will have to
restart it.  Feel free to wait a random time (in 10 second intervals)
based on your first name initial's position in the alphabet before

It works!

I just got hp-irda.zip at .45kb/s (from my dial-up account) and rever4.zip
at 0.49kb/s (from my shell-account)

It seems the LX is the slow link and not my 33.6kbps modem :-)

Except it isn't a web-server, but rather the browser parsing FTP
commands...

Hi,

I do have a Psion 5.


>1 - No PC Card slot, just a compact flash slot
>This is fine for memory but no modem card for this unit


True. You have to get an external modem or
a PC card card adapter and a Type II modem
card. I don't think the comact flash size modem
works unless someone makes a driver for it.

True.

The XT emulator + MS-DOS is very nice,
but it is very slow. Much much slower
than a 200LX. :-(

Yujin

It's best to use a web browser, so you get a new connection each time
(and you're web server caches the directory listings).

That's the only way at the moment that we can handle multiple
connections on a single-tasking machine.

None.  Scan your files on a desktop either before downloading

It's not the LX or the software - my double speed LX on a local
network connection serves files at over 100 Kbytes/s (which will keep
a 56K modem quite busy).

The slow link is somewhere in the network between the HP and you.

Just got this from Rod. Might make a cool screen cap:

This hardly fills me with confidence since one ot the things I want to
do is connect my HP200LX to a network.  If you don't have the driver
loaded, do you just lose the speed, or doesn't it work at all?

I take it that for regular ftp sessions, the server has a rather agressive
time-out? (so that one person cannot hog the machine for too long without
doing anything)

Also, I saw the index.html file (via Netscape). I can see that my comment
is the "least impressed", merely stating that it works :-) This was not
my intention, it _is_ impressive!

Could I using this software hook my LX up to the net via a normal modem
dial-up connection or does this require a ethernet card and another
machine as a gateway?

Are you going to port Apache too? ;-)

There aren't too many DOS web-servers I know of. One is called Jaffa and
more info about it can be found at:

http://www.rowan.sensation.net.au/programs.html

It's written in MoonRock, a BASIC like language, and with a good deal of
assembler, I imagine, judging from the author's other programs.

Anyway, great stuff!


Cheers,

Laust

Incompatibilities with network and other PCMCIA cards, time sensitive

There is only 1 current PCMCIA card that I am aware of that doesn't work on
the speed upgraded palmtop and that is the Silicom Ethernet card.  There are
actually 2 other Ethernet cards that are cheaper and work perfectly on a
speed upgraded machine.

The driver has a built in software slow down routine that can be accelerated
and slowed down with a key stroke for speed sensitive software such as
games, which is the only example to come to mind, and there are very few of
those that need slowing down.

The speed upgrade doesn't cause any more crashes or RAM disk wipes than a
nonspeed upgraded machine.  It is just as stable a machine in other words
and members on the list can attest to that.

If it isn't too your liking in any way it is also completely reversible.

Cheers,
Mack

I don't know where you've heard this, but allow me to set the record
straight (assuming Mack hasn't already <g>).

There is one network card that the does not work with the double speed
upgrade.  That is the Silicom Ethernet Card.  Frankly, I think it's
extremely poor design on the part of the Silicom engineers, and in no way
the fault of the speed upgrade.

The doubleslot adapter had issues with the double speed, but there is a
driver to correct it.

Time sensitive software will not run too fast with the speed upgrade, if
you get it done by Times2 Tech or Thaddeus (same upgrade; Thaddeus is a
T2T dealer).  The crystal they sell is specialized and EXACTLY twice the
speed of the built-in crystal.  Other, cheaper speed upgrades have been
done, but it's more difficult to keep them calibrated, since they're not
exactly 2x upgrades.  A T2T upgrade won't disrupt your machine in any way
with the driver loaded.  In fact, the new version of the driver offers
many features that make the palmtop BETTER than it is without it.  For
example, you can turn off the CARD BATTERY LOW -- PRESS ESC message that
network cards trigger.  (Since you want to do networking, this will be a
great feature.)

Crashes that wipe the RAM disk occur no more frequently with the speed
upgrade than without.  (And, in fact, crashes that wipe the RAM disk are
almost entirely nonexistent with a 32MB or 64MB upgrade... even dead
batteries can't kill those things!  But that's another story.)  Unless
there is something physically wrong with the palmtop, I find that the only
thing (generally) that wipes the memory is taxing the power circuitry;
i.e. sticking a 56K modem in and leaving it there for a half-hour.  <g>
The speed upgrade is perfectly harmless in this regard.

If you want to make good use of the 200LX, I can't say enough about the
speed upgrade.  If I could only choose one upgrade for my palmtop, it
would definitely be the new crystal.  Once you've used it, using a
non-upgraded palmtop is pure torture.  It helps you type faster, calculate
faster, and even do network and modem i/o faster.

If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask me here, or via
personal mail, or to visit my web site (www.hplx.net).  I've got lots of
good stuff there.  (I hope.  <g>)

Hi,

I just bought a Simple Tech ATA Flash storage, 20mb. But it doesn't work.
Filer and dos don't see it. If I go to setup, it says card battery is ok.

Do I need to do anything special?  BTW, I have a 100lx

Please help!

Fred, you were discussing your GSM service. Is that compatabile with
service in Europe? Can the same phone work in both places? Where is GSM
service available?

Somebody better write a basic web server since there has been a
pretty good one for WinCE since WinCE version 1.0. I tried the
evaluation copy on my Velo1 and it worked very well, graphics and
text serverd up just like a big web server. We are loosing out on
bragging rights people.

I went thru 3 supervisors asking about how to log on to AT&T as my isp
using Dos systems.  They informed me it was impossible.  It could only
be done it Win95.  Finally, I broke through and found it was using chap.
That was all Andreas needed to get it working in WWW/LX.

I suspect that Collins, like many TSR's does not run over a graphic

like system manager.

Maybe Andreas can write a GoAmerica client... except he'd have to fly over

Ohhh, you people are hell on my productivity.. <g>

Am I working on my MCSE training tonight?  No..

Am I working on GP version 3 tonight?  No..

I'm sitting here writing a multiuser virtual domain LX-based web server
because I just couldn't help myself any more.  Jeez.. :-)

LXVWS - for everybody but David Sargeant it means "Virtual Web Server",
for him it means "Velcro'd Web Server".  You'll just have to ask him..

Hello Hector et al,

On 29 January, 1999, Mr. Hector said:-

> I just bought a Simple Tech ATA Flash storage, 20mb. But it doesn't =
work.

Snip

I had the same problem when I got a Simple flash card.  It was OK on my =
200LX but my 100LX would not recognize it.

You need the Acecard driver.  I have ACECARD3.COM installed on the =
C:drive.  You will need to add a line to your CONFIG.SYS fIle:-

DEVICE=3DACECARD3.COM /SDP

After rebooting, all should be well.

I shall try to attach the file to a personal note and hope that you get =
it, though there have been a few problems with largish files.  However, =
someone else is bound to have it if my system lets me down.

Best of luck,

Barry Collins

It is not an issue of putting him up, I'll do it gladly,
but it an issue putting up with him <G>...

Actually we discussed that he may come here sometime this
year. Totally unclear on dates.

Mitch,

Tried that cool 200LX ftp server, using Netscape.

It seems that the two sides exchange a bunch of signals
back and forth (I see lots of lights on the modem back and
forth...) but then Netscape tells me no response.

Ws_ftp said connection was refused. Will try ftp/lx...

Later: No joy with ftp/lx. I waited a huge amount of
time. Nothing. Occasionally, some signal was received on
the modem lights, but that's it.

Let me know what's the problem, if you can figure it out,
or if I can help in anyway to get more info.

Today I had a customer from Spain tell me that his ISP told
him that the phone co in Spain just upgraded to 32 bit and
therefore can no longer support his machine, but they, the
ISP could!

I almost cried of frustration! Talk about MORONS!!! I told
enough to the customer to be able to corner the idiot ISP
and hang them on their own idiocy... I hope he does.

I believe there, the case is exactly that: They now use
CHAP and for some reason, people who do not have all the
connections in their brains, think that you MUST have a 32
bit chip to calculate the CHAP key! Yuck! I used to think
brainlessness was an American trait, but I see it is
spreading. Looks like Microsoft is sucking all the braains
globally! :( ...

Hmm, there's another one today...this sounds very like the one someone =
was
working on a year ago.

If you are outside the European Union, or if you are a non-UK VAT =
registered
                      business ordering on an official purchase order, =
you
will not be charged VAT.
                      The licence fee is then =A321.27, which is =
approximately
US $35.10, and the
                      disk package is =A325.52 (approximately US =
$42.10).

Why Use XTM?

                      There are thousands of DOS-based applications =
still
being used today. This
                      varies from legacy business applications to
measurement programs to
                      games software. With XTM and your handheld =
computer,
you now have a
                      simple, low-cost, truly portable option for =
running
these applications.=20

                      XTM also provides a platform for writing new =
software.
For simple programs,
                      it offers an alternative to writing for the =
EPOC32
operating system.

                      XTM Technical Specification

                      XTM provides the following capabilities:-

                           Full 80186 instruction set=20
                           CGA display emulation with all text modes =
and
graphics modes at
                           320 x 200 and 640 x 200 resolutions=20
                           Native code BIOS for improved performance=20
                           Native code support for HP200LX graphics
interface (Int 5Fh)=20
                           Full access to EPOC32 file system=20
                           Access to EPOC machine serial ports as COM1 =
and
COM2=20
                           PC keyboard mapping including 12 function =
keys
implemented as
                           screen buttons=20

                      XTM has been tested with a number of PC operating
systems including
                      MS-DOS and DR-DOS. XTM was developed for EPOC32 =
using
a Geofox-One
                      as the platform, and also runs on the Psion =
Series 5.

                      XTM Performance

                      If you are less than 30 years old, you probably =
don't
remember just how slow
                      the original IBM PC was. Your Pentium desktop =
machine
today is probably
                      about 200 times the raw CPU speed of an IBM =
PC/XT.
That means
                      something your Pentium calculates today in a very
acceptable 3 seconds
                      would have taken 10 minutes on a PC/XT!=20

                      Having reminded you how slow a PC/XT was - XTM is
similar, but slower,
                      especially the graphics performance. Anything =
written
for the XT which runs
                      in text mode will be just fine. Any real-time or
graphic intensive game written
                      for a later platform will be grim.

Mitch:

        I connected to the ftp server late 01/28 using LYNX on my
6mbx2 200lx without problem. However there was a message displayed
saying that the server was busy, but I was able to download a couple
of files and look around a bit without problem. I had no problems with
the download speeds.

Thanks

Dave

Sounds like it draws WAY too much power.  The palmtop can safely supply
150mA max at 5V to the PCMCIA device - that's .75 watt.  Even the
typical power draw for RJ45 use is a little too high.

'm glad to see that some are getting through, but it is far from robust at
this point. I have to reset it alot and I can't do that unless I'm actually
home (a rare thing). I have Rod's newest beta that I will put on tonight and
hopefully it will solve a few problems.

Subject:      TECH 200LX Serial Comms
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I read with interest about how the Ashpool team hacked the Diamond Rio
communication protocol and it got me thinking...

http://www.world.co.uk/sba/rio.txt

Wouldn't it be cool if someone could do the same thing for the Laplink
Remote Access server included in everyone's 200LX ROM? I really miss
the easy drive mapping functionality that LLRA afforded me back in the
Win3.x days. I know it can be done under Win95, but there are lots of
hoops to jump through.

So, I did some snooping and found this neat little serialwatcher utility for
Win95:

http://www.usuarios.com/ib308564/serialwatcher.zip

I fired it up and watched what came over the serial port when the 200LX is
initiating communications. Here's an attempt to connect to another
computer over a 57600 serial cable link in Filer (hitting F10):

22 22 22 16 2 1 64 0 1 2 16 3 16 191
22 22 22 16 2 1 64 0 1 2 16 3 16 191
22 22 22 16 2 1 64 0 1 2 16 3 16 191
22 22 22 16 2 1 64 0 1 2 16 3 16 191
22 22 22 16 2 1 64 0 1 2 16 3 16 191
22 22 22 16 2 1 64 0 1 2 16 3 16 191
22 22 22 16 2 1 65 0 1 2 16 3 45 127

And this is what the Laplink Remote Access server sends at 57600:

0 48
48
48
48
48
48
48
48

I know this is only the tip of the iceberg, but it looks like it would be
possible to hack the LLRA protocol and come up with a suitable solution for
Win95/98, Linux, OS/2, etc. Any thoughts from the programmers in the audience?

Hi again,

I posted earlier about how to download a list of newsgroups off my news

but still am not able to download a list. I'm using Post/Lx 2.0a. The
command I'm using is:

www -d "!news2.exe -l"

-l is the letter L, the error meassage I'm getting is:

Launching 'news2.exe -l'...

Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

OK.  I couldn't resist.  I've setup an LXTELNET server running Rod
Whitby's LXTCP package on my backup LX... It'll be up till around 5 or 6PM
PST (GMT-8:00).  I'm going to have to take it down so I can take my Accton
ethernet card home (I use it all the time on the home network.)

But... till then, feel free to mess around with this.  I've put up some
cheesy HTML in there as well... you can reach it at
ftp://208.195.171.25/index.htm

Sorry for no DNS name... but it *is* connected via T1.  Enjoy.

WOW! Pete your right. I never tryed "Getting a list of Newsgroups"
with POST/LX 2.0. The last time I did it was with POST/LX 1.0

Hey what can I say . I guess its no longer an opinion under 2.0.
But if you still have POST/LX 1.0 available re-stall get the list and remove
it.

BTW: I ran both 1.0 and 2.0 on my palmtop for months, just loved that Print
opinion under 1.0.

Anyway I finally got over the print thing after I installed PalEdit as
an External Program under 2.0. Now I Export, External, PalEdit and print. (:-)

Can you explain more?  A telnet server?  I tried to telnet to your
IP address, and nothing happened.  Also, you specify an ftp URL...
I'm confused.

Rod Whitby's LXTELNET package also includes an FTP server.  The FTP url
loads a WWW page from the palmtop.  But...

I'm not running LXTELNET now.  (It's still installed, Rod.)  I was able to
get a hold of a copy of Jaffa, the WWW server written in Moonrock.  So...
NEW URL is:
http://208.195.171.25

It should work pretty good.  I've been serving up pages for 15 minutes
now.. and it hasn't crashed.

So.... you ftp to it?  point to it with a web browser?  But can you
telnet to it?

Bill,
I had no luck connecting today.
1) Connected from WWW by using the ftp client:
        WWW>ftp 208.195.171.25
   This asked me for a password.  I entered "anonomous".
   This seemed to work, but after a minute,I got
        "TCP packet overrun error"
2) Connected using HV (on WWW)
        OPEN ftp://208.195.171.25/index.htm
   This seemed to connect as I got a box
        "Receiving data by FTP..."
        " 0 bytes received"
   It never did receive any bytes, even after
   waiting quite a while. I had to unplug the
   phone line to disconnect (error message, etc)

But this sure is neat!  I'll try again later.

You FTP to it.  You can also get there with a web browser via the ftp://
tag.  It's a telnet CLIENT, not server.

BTW, I'm back to the ftp://208.195.171.25/index.htm URL.  Jaffa tended to
crash a lot more than LXTELNET.

I've taken the LXTELNET machine off the network.  Something funky happens
when more than one person gets on the machine... it's like it gets flooded
with broadcast packets or something.  Our LAN loses all net connectivity
when that happens (oops!).

Sorry...

Yes! There's (3) that come to mind:

F-Prot
McAfee VirusScan for DOS
ThunderBite

I have a copy of F-Prot 2.28.
Check with "Big" AL Kind on the McAfee ( hope you still copy a copy Al).
ThunderBite do a web search.

according to the article on www.hplx.net. In order to use NetBEUI protocol
with the LX you need the file mentioned in the subject line.  Does anyone
know if it is available anywhere on the Internet?

Subject:      Virus scanner for LX, public Lynx, Acrobat, FTP server.

        Hello all,

    For the virus scanner on 200LX topic: Dr Solomon periodically
    released the latest Findviru engines (both 8086 and 386) for
    free "trial use" and that was great for running right on LX.

    However, the last stated itself dated on 1998 dec. 15 and no
    newer thing up on their <www.drsolomon.com> website since.
    Do you have a clue? BTW this scanner will be slow on 8MHz LX

    Do you know of a site that offers public Lynx (text mode Web
    browser for Unix, VMS, or 386+Dos) access via telnet? There
    were a few a while back; but right now, there is only one,
    which runs the really annoying and barebone LINE MODE browser.
    I'd be damn happy with Lynx, no need for graphics.

    Just tried online PDF->HTML converter at <www.access.adobe.com>
    and it worked even on such a large file as 200LX users' guide
    at <www.netcom.com/~kaervek>. Saved as text it ended up 670kb
    vs. the 2000MB big PDF file. BTW, great thanks for scanning!

    About the FTPlx server: it could be really useful, when used with
    a GSM or radio based wireless link or similar device, so merits of
    the truly mobile LX setup are clearly visible. But if you want
    real multitask, you'd better look for another OS.

                        Sincerely: Tamas Feher.

     As previously mentioned, you are probably best off by scanning
your files on the desktop, but it is possible to run McAfee(now Network
Associates) VirusScan for DOS.

     I ran v3.1.8, but you will need some EMS memory for loading the
virus data files.

If you purchased WWW/LX Plus AFTER April 6, 1998, then
please go get the newest version from our Webpage - you are
using a hodge-podge of older versions, and that'll give you
stomach cramps, but not much performance.

Well, we had lots of problems with this garbage. It seems
that Microsoft's code (at server level) sends suprious non
TCP/IP packets as well, just sort of to convince everyone
in the world that TCP/IP stinks, and everyone should do it
Microsoft's way - whatever it is. So there is a lot of
traffic coming in which is all unnecessary and unused.

We experienced it with HV. In some places HV starts up,
then waits for almost a minute, before you get any control
over the machine. Throughout the time, the modem lights
were blinnking furiously.

Eventually we identified the garbage as various Microsoft
packets of whatever, just not TCP/IP.

They need to do a lot of work to get their quality up. But
of course, the people don't give a hoot, mostly because
they have no idea that life can be cleaner without
programming garbage, so no one demands it anymore. But it
should be demanded - people pay a lot of money to get this
junk.

I can say that the memory cards I have (SDRAM, Simple tech 48mb) have
no problems with the T2T speed upgrade or the 32mb RAM upgrade.

I have also managed to run a pair of batteries completely flat while on
a train, with no spare set.  After freating all the way home, I found
out that the original 2mb RAM had been lost, but the 32mb RAM was all
still there!

I can wholeheartedly recommend the T2T upgrades to anyone who has a bit
of spare currency burning a hole in their pocket.

The only negative to the memory upgrade is realising that you have so
much memory that you can go a lot longer without backing up while
trying to shuffle the latest piece of software on to the HP.  Backups
are really necessary when you leave the palmtop on the pasenger seat of
the car with the passenger door unlocked while you do your shopping.

I would suggest taking a look at nyx.net.  Check out
http://www.nyx.net for the home page.  The service is
free, but to get a fully functional account you must
provide some form of authentication.  Two options are
a personal check (for a nominal amount) with your
personal info imprinted on it or a notarized photocopy
of a driver's license.

Excellent.  Now here is my question.  How do I get the ZIP software onto

Establish a two-way connection between the palmtop's built-in
communication application and a communications application on your
desktop machine.  Test this connection by typing stuff on both keyboards
and see it arrive on the other screen.  Using the file transfer features
of the two communications programs, transfer the file of your choice
from the machine of your choice to the other machine.  Step-by-step
instructions will not be forthcoming due to the _large_ number of
communication programs you might choose from, and "scripting" a blind
set of instructions is impossible as I don't know the layout of your
file structure.  (where you downloaded the target file off the net as an
example)

I good rule of thumb to play it safe is as follows:

 Crystal     Built-in    PC Card
  Speed        COM1        COM2

    1x         9600       19200

    2x        19200       38400

This is for communications through a modem such as with WWW/LX
or acCIS, etc.  Some people have used higher baud rates and
they worked, but these recommendations should work with most
configurations with a few TSR's and drivers loaded, etc.

Always make sure your modem is using hardware handshaking.

Chris, I suspect that your AC adapter is underrated for use
with your palmtop and the network card.  What AC adapter are
you using?  HP's?  What is the voltage and current rating on
the case?

It should be 12 volts exactly and 750 ma or better.  If the AC
adapter is rated lower than that current, then the voltage may
dip lower than 12 volts when under full load (like when there
is a network card).  If the external voltage dips down or the
external power supply cannot supply enough current, then the
palmtop will automatically draw from the batteries to get the
rest of the power it needs.

I suspect this may be what happened in your case.

Brian, does the modem's manual mention the current draw it
takes when online?  Is it officially less than 150 ma?

Stan:

That is what I expected, also.  It turns out to be partially
true.  My adaptor *was* rated at 12VDC and at 800mA.  It was
sold my Plug Power, and is I'm told very similar to the ones
now sold by Thaddeus.  I say *was* because the next day it went
south on me - completely dead.  Now I'm low on AC power adaptors,
and am shopping around.  I think I'd like another small one like
the Plug Power, and I might also want to get an HP one because
of the wide input voltage range, and nifty package (My original
HP one was stolen/lost while I was in the hospital a few years
back).

Thanks for the advice.

-Chris

Here is how the HP serial cable and connectors are wired:

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

The wiring and pin-out of the 100LX F1015A cable and F1023A
adapter set.

F1015A - is a null modem cable to connect the 100/200LX
directly to a standard PC serial port with a DB9M connector

F1023A - a collection of 9 and 25 pin adapters to use with the
F1015A cable to connect to a variety of other devices.

  6642    9M to 25M   gray       Phone    Modem          25F

The 6639 and 6642 adapters are wired like a null modem to
counteract the null modem already in the HP cable when the
100/200Lx is to connect to a modem.  This effectively makes it
a straight-through cable.

 -         -      10      -      shield


Notes:

1. The pins on the 100/200LX are numbered from top left to bottom right:

  (Coin Cell and IR) 1 2 3 4 5  (12VDC)
                     6 7 8 9 10

So (of course) the pins on the F1015A are the mirror image of
this (looking into end of cable):

    bump
  5 4 3 2 1
 10 9 8 7 6

2. The pin assignment of the 100/200LX's 10-pin connector are
the same as the pin numbers on a standard PC 9-pin serial
port.

3. Under Source, DTE stands for Data Terminal Equipment -
devices that act like terminals and connect to modems. DCE
stands for Data Communication Equipment - modem-like devices.
The serial ports on IBM PC-compatibles (like the palmtop) are
wired as DTEs. In other words a one-to-one cable from a
100/200LX (or any PC) to a modem should work.  This is
complicated by the fact that most modems do not have a 9-pin
connector (although many portable modems do). So you need a
9-pin to 25-pin converter.

4. The column "DB25 Standard" gives the corresponding pin on a
standard 25-pin RS-232 connector.

5. "9M", "9F", "25M" and "25F" refer to 9 and 25 pin, male and
female connectors.

6. These are the meanings of the RS-232 abbreviations:

  DCD - Data Carrier Detect  from modem
  RD  - Receive Data         from modem
  TD  - Transmit Data        to modem
  DTR - Data Terminal Ready  to modem
  SG  - Signal Ground
  DSR - Data Set Ready       from modem
  RTS - Request To Send      to modem
  CTS - Clear To Send        from modem
  RI  - Ring Indicator       from modem

7. The F1015A is _not_ a straight-thru cable. It is a
null-modem cable which exactly matches the blue LapLink
cable.

8. The '39 adapter undoes the scrambling of the F1015A cable.
The result is the equivalent of a standard PC 9-pin male
serial port.

9. The '40 and '41 adapters are the same except for the sex of
the 25-pin connector. Although the '41 looks like a
conventional PC 9-to-25-pin serial port adapter it is not!

10. The '42 adapter will give you a standard PC 25-pin male
connector.  As mentioned above it can connect to a modem with
a one-to-one cable or directly.

Rod, there are also a modem made by EXP that is of interest.

That have one 56K modem that uses an small external 2xAA
battery pack to take the load off of the palmtop's batteries.
I am willing to bet this one works fine in the palmtop.

Rod, thank you for that great summary of modem info for the
200LX.  Do you know which (if any) of those modems that work
in the palmtop are cellular capable?  That is what I am
mostly interested in.

> Viking's web site says that this card is "Designed for Windows CE

I have actually used this modem and can confirm that it
"works" in the palmtop, but I strongly suspect it will burn up
the palmtop after a while since it draws 175 ma and causes
quite a bit of heat.  I recommended AGAINST! use of this modem
in the palmtop.

Hello everyone

Has anyone used Linkwiz to do file transfers between the 200LX and another
computer? If you do, how did you get it working? It boots up and runs just fine
on mine except it won't keep the connection--every couple seconds it beeps and
says the connection is lost. I am using the HP serial cable since it is
supposed to work with laplink cables and as far as I know the HP cable matches
the standard Laplink cable pin for pin. If anyone has any ideas on this it
would be great. Linkwiz is platform independant--runs on **ix, OS\2, NT,
Windoze, DOS, etc. If it works that means a person could transfer files back
and forth on just any platform with the 200LX. Have a great evening.

I use Thunderbyte..

www.thunderbyte.com

The DOS version works great either as a tsr or standalone depending on what
you want.(It states DOS 6.22+ But ignore it)

Frans Veldman on the list is the originator I believe.

It is heuristic (detects unknown virii) so is wonderful if you download a lot.

Rod and company,

I'm sending this message courtesy of a new 56k modem in my 200LX.

I got this modem as part of a bundle from MicroWarehouse, for my Omnibook
800 (bundle included an auto power adapter, 56k modem and spare lithium
battery...all for about $130).

The modem is a Xircom CM56T and the label on the card itself shows HP
Omnibook, so I guess this is an OEM product. I don't have a feel for the
power consumption and the box comes with little technical detail. I'll just
try and relay my experiences in the next day or so.. but I did manage to
download 43 email messages via NetTamer on this card entirely on battery
power (at half charge too.. NiMH). The fact that the LX doesn't shut down
when the card is merely put in, is heartening.

The modem includes a 6 inch dongle to connect to a phone jack and the
dongle has ligths to indicate line activity...an interesting thing to
watch (I mostly use the 33.6 Simple Communicator...no lights).

I had intended to give this 56k modem to my laptop toting son...maybe I
should reconsider <g>.

Try Kermit on both machines.  It's free, and has a

More on that 56k Xircom CM56T modem...

My 1450mAh NiMHs from Olympus were already down to 2.38v (per ABC/LX) and I
successfully downloaded 121 messages from comp.sys.palmtops for a total of
257k. I didn't track the total time, but it was only about 3 minutes.
I exited NetTamer back to AppMgr and the voltage showed 2.40v.  I took the
modem out immediately afterwards and it was only slightly warm.

During the download, I got a low battery warning and had to hit ESC, and
was pleasantly surprised that the download recovered from the burp and
continued. During each of several connects to my ISP, connect speeds were
displayed as 26400 and 28800 (NetTamer baud rate is set to 115200).

Maybe tomorrow, after my batteries recharge, I'll try a really long
download and see what breaks first <g>....actually, since I only have 3mb
of free space on C, I can't download all that much, but heck, I don't know
anyone who'd complain about downloading 3mbs of data on the LX using a 56k
modem on batteries.

Those of you with both Omnibook 800s and 200LX...this seems a promising
piece of hardware in terms of interoperability....if only it didn't have
the dongle!

Subject:      PC/LX connection only goes one way, help!

Hey guys, I've owned a PC (besides the palmtop) for a whole month now, and
I'm still figuring it out.  I just yesterday realized that there was a COM2
port on the motherboard without a physical attachment, so I hooked it up and
decided to play with backup software on the PC.  I've always used my Amiga
for that, wrote my own software in REXX, simple terminal for
upload/downloads, etc..

However, I can't figure out something.  The Amiga has two way communications
with the LX in datacomm, no problem.  But hooked up to the PC using
HyperTerminal (or BitCom..), communications only go LX->PC, the PC can't
send to the LX!

I've set both flow controls to none, same baud, obviously the ports are
right for the one way communications, but surely there is something simple
I've overlooked.  In BitCom the indicators at the bottom indicate DSR is
hooked up (and if I unhook the palmtop it turns off), and RD lights when I
type on the palmtop, SD lights when I type on the PC, but still nothing
displayed on the palmtop.  I've tried both Datacomm and DSZ on the palmtop.

BTW, it was the same with a serial card I purchased, which is now going back
as I don't need four serial ports.  (And I'm realizing that adding serial
ports is a heckuva lot more complicated on the PC, the Amiga just used 'em..
No IRQ's, I/O's, blah...  And the fact that one restart the mouse stopped
working, and started working again when the serial card was removed, even
though they cooperated for hours before that..  Bah.)

Thanks so much!

I'm feeling left out too. I've tried contacting Mitch's palmtop via
Netscape 4 (never gets a response), WS-FTP (connects then hangs) and the
Win 95 command line ftp (never connects).

Subject:      Modem problem
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Heres a hardware problem for you:  I have 2 PCMCIA modems, a laptop and
the palmtop.  I can use the work modem in both the laptop, and the
palmtop, both at home and at work.  I can use my modem in both the
laptop and the palmtop at work.  But my modem does not recognise the
dial tone using either my palmtop or the laptop when at home!  I can
actually hear the dial tone throught the speaker if I turn the sound on
using the M1 switch on modem initialisation.

Also, I can use my modem in the Laptop if I set the moden flag to say
do not detect dial tone.  I would like to know how to do that with the
palmtop.  I assume that flag must tell the modem somehow, but I could
not see any modem command which would do this.  They have one (W) which
tells the modem to wait for dial tone, but this is the default anyway!

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Well I'm not Fred but I did post that:-) The US GSM network uses a =
different frequency than the rest of the
world. It is usually advertised as a PCS service. My phone will not work =
in Europe however I understand that Bosch
makes a dual frequency phone (but no built in fax modem). I suspect
service is available in most places - I have used my phone in Alabama,
Georgia, Florida and Virginia without problems. Rural coverage is not
as good as existing networks but seems to be filling in quite quickly.

For what it's worth, I've been able to connect with Win95 ftp (OSR2),
Netscape 4.5, and HP/UX ftp. I've not been able to connect with the
shareware browser Opera (www.operasoftware.com), but I suspect this is due
to the browser and its implementation of ftp.

Logden:

I wonder if you could initiate a file transfer and specify the NUL:
device as the destination.  Maybe with an XMODEM transfer from your
shell account?  That way you could transfer unlimited files for the
purpose of evaluating transfer rates.  Just a thought, I've never
tried this myself.  But the NUL: device comes in handy on occassions,
on both DOS and UNIX systems (it's /dev/null there).

Hi all-

Went to D&A's site last nite and grabbed the updated version of
WWW/LX. If you already use WWW/LX, run, don't walk, to download site,
and get the new one!  If you're not using it, try it, you should like
it.  This version is a LOT faster than the (already fast) previous
version.  This morning's mail run was about 50% faster  8-)

ATX2 or X3, I believe is the ignore dialtone setting.  So add Xn to your
dial string (where n is 2 or 3, 1??) for home dialing.  Unlikely you

This description of the process is superb.  I was merely looking for

As soon as my tax refund comes in, an upgrade is next on the list!  If the
functionality of the 95LX is any indication, the 200LX will be superb!

When the work for the IR was done (incomplete at this time,
working with SH888 still...) something was modified and it
made the program much much faster. I noticed it myself, and
Andreas says he knows, but can't figure out what he did
right this time :-) ... I am not complaining much, as you
can imagine.

There's probably a really simple reason for this, but my HP
200LX runs faster when it's plugged into the mains, than it
does on batteries. It's only really noticeable with
processor-intensive stuff (e.g. graphics), but I was
wondering why this was the case - or is my palmtop the odd
one out?!

Is there an ".adb" file that will overlay Jewish Holidays onto an appt.adb

recently heard that Palm Pilots have a program that does it.  (But I'll
NEVER change).

Also, other than the built-in Hebrew fonts are there any OTHER software
programs that have calendar, word processing functions or Jewish

Given it's size and configuration, I wonder if HP could be persuaded to
think about a 200LX follow-on with even more power and flexibility, in the
same sized package.  (if not, maybe Thaddeus should consider an upgrade
path...)

In one of the FAQ's someone created a nice fantasy 200LX replacement with
interchanegable keyboards, top notch display, etc.  It could be done.

So here's hoping HP does it!

There's a DOS command line util called "label.com"

Thank you to Robert Hocking and F.Kaufman for your help with my modem
problem.  I used X1, and it worked.

In my modem commands book, X1 is advertised as:
   Extended response codes (codes 0-4,33,35,+4)

In what way does this mean no dial tone connect? :-)

palmtop horror Story
--------------------
I am back online after a lot of trouble in the last 12 hours.  I sent
the request for modem help email last night just before going to bed.
I used the work PCMCIA modem, which really draws too much current. I
sat the HP on a ice pack to keep it cool, and had it plugged in to the
adaptor, because it shuts down without it.

The problem was, I forgot to take the modem out after sending.  This
morning, the HP was VERY hot, and would not turn on.  After removing
the modem, the screen eventually worked.  The 2mb was lost, but  the
T2T 32mb upgrade still had all the data in-tact.  This was good, as I
have not made a backup for a long time.

I then set up the 2mb drive, and noticed that I could only get 520kb
memory in DOS. After many hours of fiddling around, I had resigned to
the fact that I had probably fried the chip.  I then backed up the
indernal 32mb drive, and took all batteries out, and held the on button
down.

Upon reboot, the 640mb was back.  What a relief!!

Just finished a test of that Xircom CM56T PCMCIA modem that came as part
of an Omnibook bundle from MicroWarehouse.

Still can't find the power specs, but after about 11 minutes of
continuous file download, it was just barely warm.

I connected at 28800 and downloaded 1,742,246 bytes in 10 min, 45 secs
which amounts to roughly 21,609 bits per sec.

All this was on battery power (NiMH), and even more amazingly, ABC/LX
showed the batts at 2.59v at the start and was down to just 2.57v about
10 min after the download.

I looked at the Xircom website, but didn't see any power specs for this
modem, so if anyone finds it, I'd appreciate it if you'd clue me in.

Thanks.

Qtext - a Hebrew/English word processor works very well on the Hp200. You
can download version 2.something for free from the Hebrew University's site.
If you need the URL I will try to find it for you. As far as the calendars
go, if you do it manually, you could do it to a separate adb file and then
send the adb file to mitch:) (I also do it manually, It is a question really
of what information you want to include..)

Mine does too.  I assume its because the AC power supply gives
the HP higher voltage and more current reserves than the
batteries can supply.

<<There's probably a really simple reason for this, but my HP
200LX runs faster when it's plugged into the mains, than it

This is because the low power state in between keystrokes is turned off
while the AC is plugged in.

Doesn't sound like a modem you want to keep trying to use in the palmtop.

I use an EXP 28.8 and it can use all sorts of cellular cables, and draws a
safe amount of current from the palmtop.  The initial surge will put it into
backup mode if inserted while on, but I just turn it off, insert it, and
it's fine.  It has a sleep mode so I just leave it in the palmtop, it draws
very little idle.

You might have trouble finding one, but consider looking around, it sounds
like you're pushing the palmtop dangerously close to burning something out.

Thanks, I have the cable on order from Thaddeus.  It should be here in a

Am I correct in assuming that the cable for the 95LX is incompatible with

You are correct. The 95 cable is not compatible with the 100/200 serial i/f
cable.

I am not sure but think that having to take those measures means that
your pcmcia modem may be too demanding.  What kind is it?  Others may
know if it takes too much power.   Frankly, forcing the hp to power a
modem which will not run at all on batteries is probably a bad idea.
Using an adapter where the batteries would be easily depleted probably
is okay but if the hp really wants to shut down, then I'm don't think it
is healthy.  Just my opinion.  If the hp can't run a modem on a set of
lithium batteries or fully recharged nicads/nmh's, then???????

I think the calculations are very complex.  Someone on cis posted a
Jewish.adb to merge for about two years but I have not seen it recently.
And for my purposes, it had too much info.

I just use a dos program to see the calendar and occasionally move dates
to the hp apptbk.  I did check and only have to fast on my birthday a
few more times if I live to about 2020! (G)

That is an inherent function in the appt application on the 100/200.  It
was NOT a separate program.  Point the 100/200 to your 95book and open
it.  If offers to convert.

There was a program on cis which did a better job for the phonebook
since the 100 moved most info into the note field.

I don't recall if the 95 could export comma delimited but if so,
gdbio.zip would do the job for phone.

Actually the (new) 100/200 cables comes with a little adapter to make
then function with the 95.  The 95 had four pins, the new has 10 pins.

Hi Mitch and Group,

As per, page 2-18 Too use HP 95lX files in the HP 100LX:

Open the macthing application in the HP 100LX for the HP 95LX file you
have:

Appointment Book (HP 95file ABK)
           or
Phone Book (HP 95LX file .PBK).

Press Menu File Open type in the exact file name of the HP 95LX file.
Be sure to include the full path name. Press F10.

The compuer requires some processing time to copy the HP 95LX file and
translate it to a HP 100lX file with a new file name extension.

HTH

Regards,

Qman...

I have a bunch of stuff that was left over when NSW went out of business in Dec
1997. I got it for a decent price and am selling it to help support
Palmtop.Net. Tell your friends!

That's interesting - the converse isn't true, at least.  My 200LX cable
even came with a small adaptor that lets it work with a 95LX and/or an
HP48 calculator.

I wrote to the ptp years back with some macros I used to convert the
data, once imported, into the right places in the 200's database.  This
problem arises because of the fewer fields on the 95, and the way the
conversion program brought them over.  Can dig up a reference, if you
like.

Its true that the "Original" 95LX wasn't compatible with the 100/200.
But the newer cables are compatible when used with the included 95LX adaptor.

So it would pay for anybody needing a 95LX cable to by a "NEW" in the box
100/200LX cable and have the best of both worlds.

The LX conserves battery life by frequently going to a low-power state
where the processor runs slower. When you type a key, the processor
momentarily speeds up to give you a good responsive feel.

The reason that it uses less power when running slower is that CMOS
logic uses almost all its power while it's switching states - if a
logic gate is holding a one or a zero, there is almost no current
flow. So by switching states less frequently (running slower), it uses
less power.

Of course, if you're connected to the mains, there is no reason to
ever slow it down.

In hindsight, you should have bought a 200LX cable and used the adaptor.
I don't know if they provide these with the cables anymore or not.  If
you do end up with one, I'll be glad to give you my adaptor.

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

Almost after 3yrs. of install/uninstall...add/remove. I've finally got Software
Carousel v6.91  running pretty much stable (knock on wood).

I believe must of my problems were caused by using a swap file
instead of using expand memory (Trimm) and having Maxdos installed in
the autoexec.bat.

So I have a few questions.

Q: What bugs does the 7.0 upgrade fix?

Q: Will leaving a work area running effect battery life with the
   palmtop turned off?

Here is an example: Say I have POST/LX running in work area 2. I then swap
back to work area 1, (System Manager) and turn the palmtop off.

Would leaving POST/LX running in work area 2 effect the battery?

Regards,

Qman...

These are also now available in NZ approx US$11 per four, charger with 4
batteries approx US$21.

Documentation with batteries states must use charger specifically for
rechargable alkalines - I guess this will then present a problem in use in
200LX? - Do anyone know?

It seemed that the 200LX charging would have to be disable to safely use in
200LX and special charger would have to be purchased requiring recharging
outside 200LX.

I gave up on this idea and bought 2 x NIMH recahrgables for approx US$6.50.

Are there any special requirements for recharging NIMH - either in or out
of 200LX

Qman,

I have 3 work areas.  I normally have SysMan running in Area 1, the Collins
Dictionary in 2, and either Agenda or a Bible program in 3.  I have not
noticed any difference in battery life since adding SC to my palmtop. (32 Meg,
2x)  I don't know what v7 fixed, since that's what I started with.

I use the NiMH batteries from Times2Tech, and the recharge just fine in the
200LX.  Nothing special, except the requirement to charge longer.  The LX has
plenty of oomph.

OFF is OFF other than the clock and awaken sysmgr.  The hp does not
multitask, so when you move away from any session, that session is
STOPPED.  Nothing is occurring there.

The clock is running and can wake a sysmgr session if an appt comes due.
Also, I believe a signal on the serial port may be able to awaken an hp,
it did on the 95, at least.
