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

The subject says it all really... I start Post/Lx either with Maxdos
when I want to read _and_ reply or as a "regular" program through Sysmgr
when I just want to read.

This is because I can not get the Posth program to work when I use
Memo as a editor. I would be happy to use PE as the editor when Sysmgr
is running..is this possible.. Have I missed something.. Could I just
remove the MEMO BXXX CXXX code in the setup and put PE in there?

Enhancement suggestions: Make it possible to mark and move multiple
messages to a external file. And also a way to "Select all" when
marking..

You can use MEMO (and one other appl like Phone or Database to
copy/paste) if you set up POST/LX in the following way:

Set up an Icon for POST/LX under Appl-Mgr (&...) using '|nnn' to give
POST/LX nnn-KB of precious Memory.

Observe the following cases:

 '|350' : you can use MEMO and maybe one additional appl for cut and
paste, but
          - you can't use external prgrs like 'setup'
          - you can't use the file-select box inside POST/LX

 '|405' : you can use MEMO but no additional appl for cut and paste,
and
          - you can use external prgrs like 'setup'
          - you can use the file-select box inside POST/LX

 '|xxx  : where xxx=freemem - 30KB to make available all POST/LX
config capabilities

General points:

 * Close all applications (incl. Filer, f.ex using
Task-List/Close-All);
 * Call up Appl-Mgr (&...), there should be at least 485KB
Free-Memory;
 * You can use the POST/LX icon to start POST/LX, but after that hit
'&..'/ESC to free Appl-Mgr consumed memory;
 * Use more than one icon for POST/LX with different '|nnn'-settings
or use only one icon and edit the '|nnn'-setting according to what's
up next: mail or news; setup-actions,...

Hope this helps.

So far, none will work on LX, unfortunately.
But there is a DOS version, which requires VGA. Search for Acrobat, and you
should find it.

I got a new 200LX a few month ago and I've made the same experience!
Maybe that's HP's 'solution' for the hinge crack problem...?

We'll see if our 200LXs will get the hinge crack in the future.
(let's pray that it will _not_!

How about a simpler way: If you have DOS 6.2 somewhere on a desktop
installed (maybe DOS 7/Win95 have this also somewhere on CD, don't
know), you have a program called Interlink (interlnk.exe and
intersvr.exe). If you connect the two computers and have the two exe
files on one of them (the desktop in your case), interlnk has an option
you can call it with so that it transfers itself onto the other
machine.
Please read the manual of DOS6.2 or type 'interlnk /?' to see how to do
it exactly.
Then you can start interlnk on one machine and intersvr on the other
one and transfer files.

All of us were beginners! And AFAIK it took __much_ time (especially
for the first x00LX-users) to answer all the beginner questions
themselves!

Subject:      HP200LX Ethernet Packet Driver Collection (LXETH) released

The beta testing of LXCIC and LXEN2216 has completed (thanks
to those who participated!) and these two programs are now
ready for general use.

Stefan has released version 2.0 of LXCIC to his web site
(http://peichl.hplx.net).  LXCIC is the leading card
insertion client for the HP200LX, and now supports ethernet
cards as well as modem cards.  There are a number of other
new features in version 2.0 which are useful even if you
don't need the ethernet card support.  LXCIC is now able to
re-initialise ethernet cards upon power-up.

I have released version 1.0 of LXETH (which contains
LXEN2216) to my web site (http://rwhitby.hplx.net).  LXEN2216
is a palmtop-specific packet driver for the Accton EN2216-1
ethernet card (it is also reported to work for a number of
other NE2000 compatible ethernet cards).  LXEN2216 is also
able to take advantage of the ability of LXCIC to
re-initialise ethernet cards upon power-up.

The combination of LXCIC and LXEN2216 allows palmtop ethernet
connections that are impervious to power-cycles (i.e. you can
turn your palmtop off while the packet driver is still
loaded, and everything will still work when you turn it back
on again).

Most palmtop TCP/IP applications (including LXMTA, LXFTP,
LXTELNET, LXDNS, LXPING, LXRSH, LXINETD, TALK, HTGET, MICQ,
CCLXPOP, Goin Postal and WWW/LX) can be configured to use a
packet driver such as LXEN2216 over an ethernet card such as
the Accton EN2216-1.

Thanks to Stefan Peichl for releasing LXCIC as open-source
freeware, and to Mack Baggette for sharing the source code to
ETHER - without these two acts of palmtop community spirit
the concept of a power-cycle imperious ethernet connection on
the palmtop would not have been possible.

I encourage all palmtop authors who are not selling their
software to release the source code and allow future palmtop
technology synergies to come to fruition.

Ed,
PGP works fine without the manuals, what it won't do is generate a key
without them being present. You can, however, override this by using
the command "pgp -kg +nomanual" - not using the quotes.   Of course, =
since
key generation takes some oomph you probably want to do this on your
desktop anyway and not on your lx... (so the space issue is not a big
deal)

Use the above two addresses to translate pdf files.
The first one is to translate to a text file and the
second to a html file. All you need to do is email
your file to one of these addresses and you will
receive your translation back in a couple of minutes.

I just did a translation of a book I downloaded from
www.1stbooks.com in pdf format. Now that I have the
book in text format I can read it with "vertical

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

I am running into some difficulties with the m_set_far_block function in the
NKIT programming kit. I was wondering if anyone might have some insight. The
following example comes from the HP Developer's Guide:

#include "lxapi.h"

typedef struct {
char name10;
int id;
} PHONY;

LHAPIBLOCK LHAPIData;
char far *FPT20;

int main (void)
{
PHONY far **phonyblock;
/* m_init_app and other stuff  */
m_init_app( SYSTEM_MANAGER_VERSION );
InitializeLHAPI( &LHAPIData );

m_reg_far(FPT, 20, 0);
m_get_far_block(&phonyblock, 800L*sizeof(PHONY));
(*phonyblock)0.id=0;
strcpy((*phonyblock)0.name,"Jolly");
m_beep();
/* m_set_far_block(phonyblock,0); */
m_fini();
}


If you compile into an EXM and run this as above, with the m_set_far_block
commented out, it works fine. You get a beep and it finishes, no problem. If
you put in the m_set_far_block call, it locks up, requiring a CTRL-ALT-DEL
reset. I am using NKIT063 from SUPER. My assumption is that there is a
problem in the implementation of m_set_far_block, but as far as I can tell,
the constant code is correct. If anyone has any ideas, I would certainly
appreciate the help. I know that TODO.EXM has the m_set_far_block call in
its code, so I presume that they were able to get it to work - does anyone
know where there may be a more up to date version of NKIT than NKIT063.zip?

Excuse the length, and thanks for any help!!!

I used it for a little while but, apart from the curiosity, I found little
value in it. The word processing app had some potential but it didn't save
to winword format. The only reason I would need a word processor is to write
something quick and dirty to email to someone. I would have to know that the
email recipient could read the file.

Given the complexity and size of the current .PDF spec, it is _very_
unlikely that any ancient DOS version would be adequate, so I'd
give up on trying to access a .PDF directly on the 200.

There are, however, `translation services' available from Adobe on the
net that will translate a PDF into manageable text. You mail them the
file, they mail you back the text.

This is probably the easiest and most effective approach to solve the
.PDF -> 200 link at the moment

Maybe it's DATAFAB? Mine (CF reader for par port) is from DATAFAB and
works very well with DOS and Windows.
Now I'm switching to Linux but I heaven't seen a Linux driver for this
device yet :-(((

Does anyone know about such a driver?

Exactly my way to do a backup. Works very reliable and fast (48MB CF is
transferred within 3 or 4 minutes!)

I recently saw an article somewhere saying that the dos versions of AOL will
no longer work due to upgrades in the AOL system.

I don't remember the source so I'm not sure how reliable this is, but I
thought I'd mention it.

In response to my earlier post, I was able to make it work. I don't know if
it is an error in the LXAPI.H file or not, but if you change the following
define:

#define m_set_far_block(a,b)     c_service2_long_far(0x490a,a,b)

to the following:

#define m_set_far_block(a,b)     c_service2(0x490A,a,b)

it seems to work. I have not evaluated to see if the actual set far block
call worked, but at least it doesn't get sent into crashland!

D(isk) L(oad) U(ser) - then in my file, there were already examples.  So
look thru the pile and see if you see &2, &3, etc in some note windows.
If so, edit those for your own info.

To create f2-f10 (f1 is reserved): In the immediate upper LEFT CORNER
enter &n where "n" is a number from 2 to 0.  Now enter info on another
line for each such window/note.  Then reload your normal note stack.
Now pressing f2, f3, etc should bring up those "help" notes.

What you all are describing here is the nature of polarized light by
definition. Polarization means *filtering* the circular lightwaves into flat
surface waves.

If you have two polarized sunglases and try to look through them with their
polarization directions in 90 deg to each other you will see nothing - by
definition.

Subject:      Possible Lighting Option for 200lx

I was kicking around the REI website when I found a device called a Krill
Electronic Glow Stick.  It is billed as a replacement for those chemical
glow sticks.  The Krill device uses 2 AA batteries and some jargon called
"electroluminescent phosphorus" to create a green glow for up to 50 hours
on a single set of batteries.  It is five inches long with a velcro strip
along its backside and weighs in at an ounce.  Cost is $29.95.  Find it
by going to www.rei.com and searching for Krill.

I don't know how the Krill glow stick works in "real life" but I may yet
order one just to see.  If anyone is near an REI store to test it, I'd
love to hear your opinion of it.  (Hint, hint - will someone please go to
your neighborhood REI and try it out!).

Also interesting is the Starlight Renewable Energy Light.  This LED
flashlight contains a rare-earth magnet inside a coil which, when shaken,
creates a charge that is stored in batteries.  As I read about it, I
thought how interesting it would be for a similar power device to be used
in the HP200lx.  I'd always thought those angry CE users I see shaking
their units to fits were just frustrated with the poor functionality of
the device...maybe they're just charging it up.

Translate it into what? Acrobat will certainly translate it into
PostScript, but I doubt if you will get GhostScript to run on a 200
either?

I could not get my "free" copy of acrobat to translate
a pdf file to text. Acrobat may have a plug-in that
allows you to do it. But  I just sent my file off by
email and had it back in less than 2 minutes as a
text file.

A change in venue at my job has me moved back from the mainframe to Unix (at
least temporarily) to work on Korn shell scripts and Java.

Do any of the Unix folks in this group have a good Korn shell (ksh) reference to
recommend?   Something tells me I'll soon need SED and AWK as well.

While I have your attention, does anyone have a quick method (in ksh script) for
extracting the filename from the end of a pathname/filename combination?

Thanks.

There is a free Korn Shell implementation available from Simtel. I don't
know exactly where, though, but it should be easy to find. Just search for
'ksh'. It's an 800kb download, BTW. as the ZIP includes not only the DOS
version, but Windows and OS/2 binaries as well.

I've used it for a while on my single speed 200LX and it worked nicely, if
a bit slow. I expect that on a doublespeed machine it will probably work
great, with EMS even better. It also comes with a fairly large manual in
standard UNIX man format, so you might want to download the viewer 'less'
while you're there.

Use Perl! Sorry wrong answer ;-). I never did make many shell scripts, but
I'd use backticks and sed (in other words I'd pipe the problem into
something I know: sed). Something like this should work, but is no doubt
inefficient:

---snip
#!/usr/bin/ksh

echo Full: $1 - Short: `echo "$1" | sed -e 's/.*\/\(.*$\)/\1/'`
---snap

The regexp can look a bit confusing because of all the escapes, but it
just extracts all the chars after the last slash.


Cheers,

Hi,

I would recomend the O'Reilly books.

You might also want to try Amazon.com and Fatbrain.com...and search for ksh,
korn, shell...etc


I did this recently, and I seem to remember one of these had a ksh
"reference".  BASH might be an acceptable alternative too, since it mimics
most of the Korn Shell ( at least as far as the scripts go ).

Hope this helps,
Jon C.

In Infoselect, go to Adjust/Windows/Max Windows and set to 1.
This will force IS to display only one Window at a time.

Then get a program called zoom, which sets the screen
resolution. Zoom is in Compuserve but may also be on the SUPER
site or www.palmtop.com

Then start IS with the following BAT file. Modify as necessary
for your system. I name mine IS.BAT

 zoom c6
 dispctl -c

 IS N
 dispctl +c

Before I picked up Wired I thought this must be an e-beam
fluorescent lamp (sort of a flat CRT) or an organic LED panel.
But, you are correct, this looks like a conventional
discharge-based fluorescent lamp. If you look carefully at the
picture on page 48, the discharge path is folded into a
six-tube serpentine pattern. This is necessary because
discharges like to be round, they will not fill a flat space.
So the flat space is covered with six pseudo-tubes.

This is not a new technology. GE was selling 12" square by
1.5" thick "Panel" fluorescent lamps using molded serpentine
channels such as this lamp has back in the late 1960's. The
lamps were difficult to produce and therefore expensive and
never made the big time. They stopped production in the
mid-1970's. Most LCD backlights are either arrays of thin
linear fluorescent lamps, multiple U-tube fluorescent lamps or
one tubular lamp bent into a four or six leg serpentine shape.

I have not yet looked to Winsor's patents, but they must be on
details of construction and processing, since the basic concept
is old.

I do not think this has any value as a palmtop backlight. It is
sure to be too thick. I assume the system Hal is working on
uses a organic LED panel, which can be quite thin.

FWIW, my old 1MB 100LX screen turns black when I wear
polarized sunglasses and hold the LX in "normal" orientation.
It becomes readable if turned 90 deg. Other LCD devices, such
as cell phone, pager, car radio and watch are OK with
sunglasses in normal orientation. The most interesting device
is my Garmin GPS III. This device is designed to be used
either horizontally or vertically, and it does work in both
orientations with polarized sun glasses. It goes black only
when held at a 45 deg angle. Good design!

I have an excellent, IMHO anyway, book.  Don't have it at hand now, but
it's something like UNIX Programmers Guide/Manual.  I think Kernigan is
one of the authors.

Hi Al,

>Is anyone using AOL on the LX?

Bad news...

I recently attempted to setup and use the AOL access software for DOS and
found that it doesn't  work any more. AOL has stopped supporting or using
Sprintnet, so that software should really be taken off from SUPER now.

So much for a reality check on AOL's "AOL Everywhere" slogan! :-(  No one
at AOL seems to care at all about the shrinking base of legacy DOS
software users anymore.
That event had a familiar ring since I seem to remember that after AOL
bought out Compuserve, Compuserve suddenly stopped offering new optional
ASCI based Compuserve accounts.

It looks like the only ASCI option left is a UNIX shell account, if you
can still find an ISP who offers on anymore. The old Delphi is still a
possibility, from what I understand, but believe it or not, they STILL
charge by the minute!

Cheers,

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

I wanted to wait with the LXCIC 2.0 announcement until it
appears on S.U.P.E.R. But because this may take some time due
to the new responsibilities, I'll do it now. Thanks to Rod for
explaining the new ethernet features of LXCIC. Other news are:

Version 2.0  -Network Card support (ACCTON EN2216)
(25-AUG-99)  -Disable (passivate) LxCic with /D
             -Enable  (activate)  LxCic with /E
             -Modem power save with /DE after an online run
             -Errorlevel report also after loading resident
             -Command line COM selection switch removed
             -Command line COR selection switch removed
             -Prepared for Parallel and SCSI card support

The new disable switch is equal to switching the palmtop off
and on again with LXCIC loaded passive. That is, it does no
longer configure cards, but still stays resident. You may now
intermediate load another driver for your card. After removing
the intermediate driver from memory, you may enable LXCIC again
with the new /E switch.

If you compose the disable and enable switch (LXCIC/DE), this
should act like switching the palmtop off and on again with
LXCIC active.

Helmuth Guenther reported, that his modem keeps drawing high
power after an online run unless he switches the palmtop off
and on again. Instead of pressing the ON key twice, he may now
execute the LXCIC/DE command after an online run. He is doing
it with the PostOnline=3DLXCIC/DE feature of POST/LX.

LXCIC now reports card type errorlevels also after loading
resident. No more need to call LXCIC/S again to check for a
card type errorlevel.

The new source already includes a codefragment for parallel
card support. Anybody with parallel card knowledge is welcome
to complete the source.

I have to admit, that all these new LXCIC features are only
available, because Rod convinced me to make LXCIC open source
and because he took the effort to study the code and implement
the new improvements.

Content-Type: text

I thought maybe some of you computer experts might help - and no, this
isn't for my palmtop, although this would be an interesting idea...

Does anyone make a PCMCIA to ISA adaptor arrangement?  I guess it would
be a small ISA chassis with in interface cable terminated in a PCMCIA
card.  Does such a thing exist?

I believe very old versions of GhostScript could work
on the 200LX.  They would be PostScript level 1 only.
I (for jollies) have run an old version of GoScript on
my 200LX to create a PCX file to be displayed by LXPIC.
GoScript by LaserGo is a PostScript clone.

Current versions seem to be 32 bit though.

Thanks for all your responses, public and private.

Sounds like O'Reilly is the favored resource, tho I'll check out the others as
well.

This forum continues to be a great fount of tribal knowledge for me.  Thanks for
letting me tap in on these off-topics once in a while.

One of the poster's (Ejnar Zacho Rath) tagline:

 Out of the midst of the gloom came a
 voice: Smile, for things could be worse.
 So I smiled and lo, behold,
 things did get worse.



Reminded me of a similar sentiment back in my college days:

"It's always darkest before it goes pitch black"

This sounds interesting! I have a Bus Toaster SCSI card - but it does

Wow, great set of replies about how to work with Info Select.  It is amazing
how you can try to figure something out for a year, but you ask this list
and have the answer in hours.  Let me ask one more Info-Select question.

What color scheme do people use?  Any suggestions on best color scheme to
increase readabilty?

Thanks

In Infoselect, go to Adjust/Windows/Max Windows and set to 1.
This will force IS to display only one Window at a time.

Then get a program called zoom, which sets the screen
resolution. Zoom is in Compuserve but may also be on the SUPER
site or www.palmtop.com

Then start IS with the following BAT file. Modify as necessary
for your system. I name mine IS.BAT

 zoom c6
 dispctl -c
 A:
 CD \IS
 IS N
 dispctl +c
 CD \

We mentioned this polarization issue to HP reps a number of times - that
the screen could not be read with sunglasses.  It appears they either
purposely fixed the problem (my new unit works with the sunglasses
whereas my older one did not) or someone accidently rotated the screens!

 I tried printing to a file, but the paragraphs were each put in

Is there some easy way to read the data?

Hi

I'm in the lucky position of having two HP200s, one a DS64, the second a
plain 4MB.

I back the 64M upto a Jammed flash card (which is mounted as G:)

On the 4MB unit the Jammed drive mounts as F: (the next available drive).

What I'd like to do is have them both mount as say J: but cannot get it to
work.

I've tried "Jmount /m a:backup.jam j:"

but get "invalid drive specification" !

At the moment I'm using Subst.exe as a work-around but I'm sure there's a
more elegant solution.

Any comments or advice from Jam experts out there?

Regards

I would like to buy a copy of Pocket Quicken Connect for Windows.  This program
is used to transfer data between Pocket Quicken on an HP 200LX Palmtop PC to a
Windows version of Quicken on a desktop PC.  The program is no longer available
directly from Intuit, and I have been unable to find it anywhere else.

I am currently have DOS Quicken 8 on my PC and I am using the HP Connectivity
Pack Filer to transfer my Pocket Quicken .pdt file from my Palmtop to my desktop
PC and XLate to merge it with the DOS Quicken 8 data file.  I want to upgrade to
Quicken2000 for Windows on the PC.  But I am not even sure if the last version
of Pocket Quicken Connect is compatible with Quicken2000.

I see that Pocket Quicken has an Export File command to create a Quicken .QIF
(Quicken Interchange File).  Can one use Quicken Export/Import to synchronize
data between the Palmtop and desktop?  Is there some other way?

A couple of years ago there was s company that made a parallel to isa
box. They had two models, one had just one or twp slots and the other
was basically a small desktop case. They were targeted at laptop
users that didn't have an expansion chassis. I can't remember the
company name but I will try to find it and post it if I do. I don't
know if they are still made since this was during the time that most
laptops had expansion docks with card slots and that seems to have
gone by the wayside with the advent of pcmcia slots in laptops.

As far as a pcmcia to isa setup, there are a couple of universal
laptop docks but I don't think they have isa slots, just the various
io ports. I don't think that pcmcia has all the required lines to
implement an isa bus. I know for a fact that the dma channels are not
available on pcmcia, and are part of the isa bus standard. I don't
know what other parts are missing. Cardbus to isa might be closer but
I doubt that anyone has made one since most things that can be done
on an isa card already come on pcmcia. Of course there are always one
or two things that don't come in pcmcia versions, and that is
probably exactly your problem. ;-(

I have had exactly this problem on my 1Mb 100LX. I tried all sorts
of things but didn't really have a lot of luke. I suspected that I had a
corrupted repeating item, but I could never find it to be sure.

The only real solution I found was to archive off my old entries with
the File, Remove... menu. It seemed to me that the appointment
book just gets slow when it is large. The really wierd thing is that
this effect doesn't seemed to be linear. The app seems to work OK
one day and then suddenly gets a lot slower and doesn't seem to
get better without deleteing a lot of stuff.

I very rarely travel on business, but next week I will be
visiting Atlanta, GA for some Special High Intensity Training.

I would like to get together with any palmtopers in the area
that would be available for an impromptu user meeting.  I have
always enjoyed meeting fellow palmtoppers when they visit the
New York area or when I am traveling to far away places.
<grin>

I will arrive on Monday afternoon Sept 6th and leave on Friday
evening, Sept 10th and staying in the Mariott at 246 Perimeter
Circle Parkway.

Please contact me OFF LIST if you want to make arrangements to
meet.  I am looking forward it.

Two routines:  enable_scsi and disable_scsi.  Have a look at
enable_ether and disable_ether to see what generally needs to
be done.  If it's just setting up the I/O path for something
else to drive the card, then it's pretty easy once you know
the card details.  If you want to reinitialise after power-up
(like the ethernet support), then you also need those card and
driver details.

Sorry, but such a version doesn't exist. Besides, the LX doesn't have
enough CPU power to emulate those game at a playable speeds (well, perhaps
the most simple ones, though I doubt it), even if you did manage to
compile a version of the emulator and get it running on the LX.

Your best bet is probably to look for DOS-based arcade-conversions/clones.
Most of the older, classic arcade games (Joust, Defender, Pacman, etc.)
have been more or less faithfully reprogrammed on the PC.

I would advise against using the built in color schemes.  What has worked
out for me is to use the external configuration program, and set the
individual screen elements to a high contrast selection (no in-between
colors).  But you might like the built in selections.  Experiment!

No.  All the cards I have work in my 200LX, my 800CT, and my desktop.  Have
you checked both the upper and the lower slot?  Do you have a modem card (or
network) in one of the slots?  Try moving it to the slot that won't accept
the memory card.  My guess is that you have a bent pin in the slot of the
800.  I've straightened them in the past with wooden pencils.  Be careful.
If you break a pin, you are in big trouble.

I think the reason that backups would be slow to open is that they're
usually created when the data file is still open by the palmtop. When
an app has a file open, it stores only the data, but not the lookup
table that tells it where everything is. When an app closes, it writes
the lookup table so that it's fast to open next time.

However, if a backup is made of an open file, or if you reboot without
closing an app, then the data file on the disk has no lookup table,
and it has to be created when the file opens, and this takes some
time.

It doesn't sound like this is the problem with your main appt file,
though. You might want to do a dbcheck with the "/d" switch, and go
over all the data items to see if any are suspicious.

Nicholas,
I had that problem with a different brand card. It worked fine in my
HP200 and in my Gateway laptop, but wouldn't insert in my wife's Compaq
laptop. After close examination, I discovered that the metal on the
sides of the card near the connector was not fastened to the plastic.
This allowed the metal to protrude (making the card thicker). To test my
theory, I folded a piece of paper over the card and then inserted it,
making holes in the paper as the pins pierced the paper on their way
into the pc card connector. The paper forced the metal together and
allowed insertion.

I don't know if this is your problem, but it sounds similar.

In Lotus, put 2*A1-1 in cell A1 and you'll see -1. That's because 123 see=
s
0 in the cell and then evalates that and returns the value.

Or put {let A2, 2*A2-1} in a cell, say B1, and use Menu Range Name Create=

\X Enter   to name B1 as Alt-X. Press ALT X and the Calc indicator will
come on. Press ESC and you'll see -1 in the cell. However, in this case,
you're into an infinite loop. Press ESC to break out.

I just received my upgraded system back from Thaddeus Computing.  I can say
I am impressed with the quick service and quality of work. They even fixed
the latch and cleaned the system while upgrading the memory.

All  the tests I have done makes it worth while and extends the use and
value of the unit. I can now use an internal modem with several software
packages (ACCis, LXEN2216) and still have space for data transfer.

A question for those of you that have the 8 Meg upgrade, what type of
battery life are you getting?

Hi friends,

I now have an EN2216 card and have made an attempt to
get it set up.  I'm trying to connect to the Netware/
Win95 network at work.  I followed Rod's "quick setup
instructions" for a clinet-only persistent connection
It seemed to go okay, and my desktop sees the palmtop,
but I have no idea where to go from here.

I would like to use LXTELNET through our LAN to my
ISP, but it doesn't work.  I also don't know how to
move files and so on.  Am I trying to do the impossible,
or am I just not doing it right?

Thanks!

Ted

This trial version will give you a feel for the way the program
handles your information.  It lacks spell checking - printing - or
saving files - so it is too crippled to really use.

Grandview is a good outliner with the added ability to assign
categories and dates to your info.  You can then switch to different
views to see your info displayed by dates or categories.  It is an OK
wordprocessor with spell check.  I like the program and use it for
info I need to organize in lists.

Due to the incredibly slowness and bungling stupidity of Network Solutions

hplx.org, in the hopes of making them speed up the other domain changeover
as well.  It should be working by now, so if you could all try going to
http://www.hplx.org and seeing if it does indeed work from your location,
it would be greatly appreciated.

Subject:      ANN: New PIM/PE version
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A new version of pe.zip and a new version of pim.zip is now available
from ftp.dasoft.com (www.dasoft.com).

Here are the changes:

- REP.IDX is a new index used for repeating items. If nothing changed
  within the repeated items, this index is loaded instead of computing
  all the items anew each time. This makes startup of PIM.EXE
  considerably faster if repeated items are used a lot.
- Slightly optimized checking off upon startup of PIM.EXE
- PE: If the last line in PE.MAC was not terminated with a CR/LF,
  it was not interpreted correctly.
- Renamed APPTS.I3 to ITEMS.IDX and FILES.I3 to FILES.IDX
- Improved sorting speed
- If DefDur= is set in the PIM section of PIM.CFG, the given number
  of minutes is used as the default duration for appointments. The
  author prefers Shift-F3, F3 to set the duration of appointments!
- A new sorting order ("computed") is introduced. It tries to sort
  tasks according to importance and urgency. The algorithm is still
  an "alpha" version. See HELP.PIM for more information.
- When a search went accross the "no items before this" item, it
  caused a Null Pointer Assignment.
- Added a "hour glass" for operations that can take longer.
- "Find" also found items that were not displayed in the current
  view.
- Menu File Print (or Ctrl-P) prints an ASCII representation to a file.
- PE: The day of week is now displayed on +., +( and +( lines. Can be
  turned off by using Weekday=0 in the Display section of PE.CFG
- If ItemSpace= is set to a value higher than the default 16000
  (maximum is 65000), then memory outside of the default data space
  is allocated. This allows you to see more appointments and tasks, but
  PIM.EXE needs more memory.
- PE: in older versions, PE warned if there was another instance of PE
  open. The new version only warns if a file should be opened that is
  already open in another instance of PE.
- Added sorting by done date.
- PE: Formatting now retains the indentation of the first and second
  line in a paragraph and uses the same indentation for the rest of the
  paragraph as in the second line.
- If Emmentaler=1 is set in the Display section of PIM.CFG, the "Done
   Tasks" view also shows appointments.
- PE: Esc Q (upper case Q) formats a paragraph assuming it is a list,
  i.e. trying to preserve proper indentations for a list.
- The DATE key lets you change the start date of an item.
- PE: the screen now starts shifting left only when after the last
  screen column is reached. Was one earlier before.

IMPORTANT: Run PIM -r as the first command with the new version,
           otherwise the application will crash!

Subject:      ABC/LX Power Drain?

I expect a lot of traffic on this one but....

Has anyone else thought/found that using ABC/LX doubled battery
consumption?!?!?

In cleaning my garage a year-long archeological dig, that has only just
begun <g> I found my ABC/LX disk and reinstalled it.  I let it optimize w/
some 1400mAh NIMH batteries the ones from Shier.

My effective use has dropped by more than half!

I've taken the batteries out and charged them in a NIMH capable charger,
used Renewal and regular Energizers in the machine not EVER charging the
latter two in the LX, of course and still seem to see a dramatic drop in
use time.  I get the "main batteries low" (or whatever it says exactly)
message in a day or two of my normal use, rather than 3-4 days, as was
before.

I don't know how to effectively set Buddy up to record battery time in three
sessions of Software Carousel if it can even be done; so I can't give hard
numbers, as far as the exact time drop goes.

As a disclaimer that augments the last para., this is strictly my
*perception* - I know there are MANY satisfied ABC/LX customers out there;
so I'm not panning or putting the product down ... just seeking knowledge...
don't want Andreus to get mad, I like his software!!!

I could be doing something wrong! (?)

I won't toss in my whole autoexec.bat, etc., but: I'm running abctsr.com
after nofiddle.com and before "c:\sc-hdm\autossc.bat" starts software
carousel.

Also (these are short so) my main ABC files have the following text:

--ABC.CFG--

System
Installed = 1
ComFile = C:\ABC\ABCTSR.COM
LogFile = C:\ABC\ttr2.LOG
ConfigFile = C:\ABC\conf1.CON
Capacity = 1200

--CONF1.CON--

ABC Configuration
68
95
7035
36000
0

Don't know exactly what the numbers in the CONF1.CON do; but will modify any
to what folks here advise me to try.

BTW, my ABC.EXE is dated 01-31-96 and is 39,409 kb (version 1.0); don't know
if there is a later release. Could there be a problem with this ver, as it
predates most of the drivers, etc. I'm running?  Heck I've got SSC and
DoubleSpeed and extended memory running -- the doublespeed TSR alone could
be telling ABC/LX to *eat* power computing the value of pi, while I'm
asleep for all I know because the abctsr.com was prob. written before the
DS TSR. It's a mystery to me!

Thanks in advance for any help/advice on this one!

Hi Tim.

I have the same version of ABC/LX as you (1/31/96, 39,409 bytes) and use it all
the time to charge my 1450 mAh NiMH, on my 2x/6mb 200LX running EMS.

Your CONF1.CON file is built by ABC/LX when your configure (F2) and represents
the start charge voltage, the stop-at voltage, etc.... you shouldn't need to
change this file except by modifying ABC/LX using F2.

I get 12 hours (user time, measured by ABC/LX) using these settings:
Start:    2.35 v
Stop:     2.92 v
Stall:    6:00
Total:    16:00
Trickle:  0:00

It looks like your stall and total charge times are lower than mine.  Even tho
our rated capacities are similar, it's difficult to make sweeping
generalizations since the batteries tend to vary widely in performance across
manufacturers (mine are Olympus).

Your current settings may be undercharging the batteries and you should follow
the ABC/LX documention on auto-tuning the configuration settings to get the best
performance.  It usually takes several charges to work out the details, and
you'll want to monitor the charging curve to see where the charging is stalling.

If I've missed your point entirely, I'm sure Avi or Andreas can comment more on
your problem.

Subject:  ABC/LX Power Drain?




I expect a lot of traffic on this one but....

Has anyone else thought/found that using ABC/LX doubled battery
consumption?!?!?

In cleaning my garage a year-long archeological dig, that has only just
begun <g> I found my ABC/LX disk and reinstalled it.  I let it optimize w/
some 1400mAh NIMH batteries the ones from Shier.

My effective use has dropped by more than half!

I've taken the batteries out and charged them in a NIMH capable charger,
used Renewal and regular Energizers in the machine not EVER charging the
latter two in the LX, of course and still seem to see a dramatic drop in
use time.  I get the "main batteries low" (or whatever it says exactly)
message in a day or two of my normal use, rather than 3-4 days, as was
before.

I don't know how to effectively set Buddy up to record battery time in three
sessions of Software Carousel if it can even be done; so I can't give hard
numbers, as far as the exact time drop goes.

As a disclaimer that augments the last para., this is strictly my
*perception* - I know there are MANY satisfied ABC/LX customers out there;
so I'm not panning or putting the product down ... just seeking knowledge...
don't want Andreus to get mad, I like his software!!!

I could be doing something wrong! (?)

I won't toss in my whole autoexec.bat, etc., but: I'm running abctsr.com
after nofiddle.com and before "c:\sc-hdm\autossc.bat" starts software
carousel.

Also (these are short so) my main ABC files have the following text:

--ABC.CFG--

System
Installed = 1
ComFile = C:\ABC\ABCTSR.COM
LogFile = C:\ABC\ttr2.LOG
ConfigFile = C:\ABC\conf1.CON
Capacity = 1200

--CONF1.CON--

ABC Configuration
68
95
7035
36000
0

Don't know exactly what the numbers in the CONF1.CON do; but will modify any
to what folks here advise me to try.

BTW, my ABC.EXE is dated 01-31-96 and is 39,409 kb (version 1.0); don't know
if there is a later release. Could there be a problem with this ver, as it
predates most of the drivers, etc. I'm running?  Heck I've got SSC and
DoubleSpeed and extended memory running -- the doublespeed TSR alone could
be telling ABC/LX to *eat* power computing the value of pi, while I'm
asleep for all I know because the abctsr.com was prob. written before the
DS TSR. It's a mystery to me!

First (and most importantly) - I don't have the time to do what I am wishing
for!

Now that I've made myself clear on that.........

I subscribe to the list in digest form so that I only receive one or two
emails a day instead of 50.   What I would love to have is a copy of each
digest in either GDB or maybe NDB format.  Each message as a record with
fields for DATE, FROM, SUBJECT & TEXT.  Then I could keep the nuggets with
me when I needed them.  And discard the for sale, humorous comments, pats on
the back etc. that are valuable at the moment but not long term.  I could
add a field or two for personal organization.  I could then sort and search
for the nuggets and discard the slag.  And maybe, just maybe, I could then
find that obscure command some one discusses that I thought I would never
need when I read the list.  Only to realize that I did need it today.  3
weeks later.

I know this could be done with cut and paste after the digest is on my 200.
I just never have the time to do it.  I don't remember seeing this discussed
in the last year or two.   Any comments from others?

PS - Anyone going to Shelby tomorrow?  If so - want to try to do an eyeball?

lxdr (the free version) allows you to save an email to a file. Getting it

I am confused about what you want. If you use Maxdos you
cannot use Memo because the entire System Manager is removed

Use 123dlm.adn to convert/export a range to a comma
delimited file, then use gdbload to import into a database.

123dlm.adn is available on the SUPER AFAIK, as is gdbload.
you need to create the database first, then export it empty
using gdbdump. This will give you a single line with all the
names.

Then do the commadlm export and append it, in a second
operation, to the single line with names. Now you are ready to
import.

The order of fields must match the lotus sheet. If this
unwieldy in the database (you want to see it in a different
order), then just edit in memo a file and provide in it the
fieldnames in the lotus sheet order like so:

"Field-A","Field-B","Field-C"

Make sure that the names you use are identical to the names
in the database, but the field order is identical to the row
in the lotus sheet.

enjoy!

I used a prototype 512MB for a short time in my machine a few
months ago. Simple Tech is planning this sometime this year,
if not already out. Sandisk has a 440M which works with a
small driver (See Thaddeus). I heard discussions among
engineering types that even higher densities are currently
available, although only very early prototypes have been
constructed. The limiting factor is mostly the onboard
controllers which translate the requests from DOS to the
structure on the card. Also, there are some power
considerations right now.

Lynn,

I found your address on a Web search for info on  200 LX software. I
hope you can help me. I have recently converted to typing with the
Dvorak key configuration. I would like to know if there is software that
would enable me to type on my 200 LX using that system. Any help you

Needless to say I am more than interested!

When you start up ABC.EXE and press F2, what values do you
see?

It seems to me that your values are a bit off balance. For
example, I think your F2 shows to start charging at 2.68V, and
you can take it down to 2.40V or thereabouts.

I think your setup shows stall time of about 1:57 or so and
you can probably jack it up to 3:00.

Lastly, it seems to me your setup says stop charging after 10
hours. That is apparently insufficient to fill up the battery,
how about making it 16:00?

Longden posted his own F2 parameters, you can try them and see
what happens.

I understand that you got these values from Autotune. There
are caveats about using autotune: The major note is that it
does not work too well with new batteries, since they are
themselves "moving targets", i.e. their parameters are not
stable for a few cycles.

The second issue is that full batteries will yield lousy
results, because they give the process the appearance of a
battery in a status other than when you would normally start
charging. In the example you gave, it is possible the
batteries were quite full, as indicated by the starting
voltage and low charge time.

From the ABC/LX Documentation:

----------

In order to tune ABCTSR for your batteries, they should not
be  completely new (i.e., almost empty) nor fully charged. If
your  batteries are completely new, charge them first. If
they are  fully charged, use them in the palmtop for about
one or two  hours before you start tuning. Also, tuning takes
as few as 3  hours and up to 12 hours, and you must run
ABC.EXE as the  topmost application during that time (i.e.
the screen shows  this application at all times.) If you are
not ready to tune  ABCTSR, reply "No" to the tuning question.
You can tune it  later (e.g., overnight) by choosing
"Auto-Tune" from the  "Setup" menu.

Andreas is not nearly the monster he is made out to be
here... I am sure his ears are all perked up now and he wants
to get to the bottom of this. As do I.

When I posted recenly about Magic-ABC/LX I did not have in
mind a battery-eating program :-) ...

Yep! These are the "vitals" of what I distribute to customers.

I don't think the program itself conflicts with what you use,
since Andreas runs on his own machine ABC/LX and SC and the
double speed drivers and Times2Tech drivers, and I suspect he
would have noticed a conflict. I have a very similar setup.

It is possible that the program got corrupted, but that is not
likely.

My speculation: You need to give the battery much more
charging time...

This is the best IS screen adjustment I have ever seen!  It is similar to
running mono8025 before IS, but without the side effects (if you are
under Sysmgr, mono8025 can cause unpredictable results).

Just remember to reload IS before you'll see the difference.  Color 7 is
the best.

This advice renews my opinion that it is not necessary to run IS with
only one window showing (that kills one of the charms of the program).

Hiya.

I have been running ABC/LX for some months now.  I have not noticed that it
"doubled battery consumption" or even increased it in any way.

I think Longden's comments about your charging parameters are probably
worth heeding.  When I switched from 1100 mAH NiMHs to the heftier DigiKey
batteries, I tried letting ABC/LX auto-tune.  I'm pretty sure that what it
came up with isn't charging them fully; certainly it is different from what
I was using on the 1100 mAH cells, and the new batteries are acting totally
different as well.  The run times I've gotten on my first three runs were
25.8 hours (yes, really!), 19.3 hours, and 12.8 hours.  It looks like the
fourth cycle, which I'm in the midst of now, will be shorter yet.

(By the way, for those who would suggest that it's impartial discharge to
blame: when I noticed the falling times, I installed Mack's KillMsg program
to shut off the low battery warning, and am running the batteries right
down to 2.0V.  I would *not* recommend this to most folks; if you start
doing flash card writes or serial comm with the battery in the low area you
will see things die *very* quickly.  I am only doing this as research to
get a handle on how my batteries behave.)

When I run the batteries down this time, I'm going to change the ABC/LX
settings to what's been recommended before on the list (similar to the
numbers Longen gave you) and see if things don't work better.  My suspicion
is that ABC/LX may "tune" more for NiCads than NiMHs.

I can't comment on the loss of time even when you've charged the batteries
externally, unless the shortened cycles have somehow impaired the capacity
of the batteries.  Let's hope not!  Perhaps someone with more knowledge of
NiMH chemistry than I can comment?

As to tracking the voltage, take a look at BattLog.  This is an absolutely
*phenomenal* program that will tell you everything you'd ever want to know
about your batteries and usage.  The shareware version is fully enabled; it
just has a little "nag" requester that pops up from time to time, and it's
not even horribly annoying.  (I just registered earlier this week but
haven't gotten my unlock key yet.)

You can learn more about BattLog at http://www.ieirisoft.com/battlog/.  I
don't know of any reason it wouldn't coexist with SC or Buddy.

Hope this helps,
Rick

Well, either way, the result is good. <grin> Maybe HP did take

production of the 200LX ...

I have a 96LX which I still use. My problem is that I can no longer use
the application (appl95 from the connectivity kit) on my Windows 98 system
to upload and download files.  Is there a new version of this software?

I would hate to have to discard this valuable tool because of this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Well, if he can find a SRAM card, that would do the trick.

Have you tried using Zip?  I believe the current version is 2.12--I use it
to back up my 100LX to Win95/98 machines regularly.  I used predecessor
versions on my 95LX.  It's semi-shareware.  I can e-mail it to you if you
would like.

He could use KEY200 to remap the keyboard. Or create his own setup for
keybez. This would have the advantage of letting him have both keyboard
mappings available. Both programs are on the Hp200 d:  drive and are documented
in the palmtop. I would imagine it would take quite a bit of work (several
hours - no programming experience required) to set up both programs and then
he would need some kind of keyboard overlay to show where the keys are
(another couple of hours). This is possible with 2.5mm rub on letters.

To sum up: it is a lot of work, I dont think anyone has tried it before, but it
is definitely possible.

That would highly surprise me. ABCTSR very rarely (in terms of CPU
cycles) jumps in and measures the voltage to see what to be done. This
takes very little of the palmtop's resources. When you changed your
configuration, what else did you change? I rather assume something else
makes the difference.

That worked great.. I had to have |288 for the post.exe program. Then
I had to maxdos the peh.bat in the setup.

This works, but is a bit slow because I have to swap to the _a_ drive (1
mb Hp 200..).

But I can do what I want: Be able to jump back and forth between Post/lx
and Sysmgr and also reply to messages without restarting the post.exe
with maxdos.. The Shift F keys does not work, but thats okey.

I also had to close the Filer. I have 410 kb when I launch Post/lx. If
I switch to the Sysmgr when in Post/lx I have 88kb free. Enough to run
some of the other applications..

The copy/move messages tip is a okey "workaround"

Great.. thanks

all I can say is that there exist dvorak drivers which run on the
hp200lx. I once installed them on my machine (but it was too hard
to get used to it for me and, worse, they did not support
umlauts). I remember that I had two different drivers, a sys and a
com file.
Unfortunately I do not have the files anymore, but as far as I
remember, it was not too hard to find them on the internet when I
got interested in dvorak.

Maybe I was a bit unclear. I start Post/lx from one off three icons in
the sysmgr:

1. Start only Post/lx with maxdos. I use Pe for writing mail.
(Sysmgr/Memo does not work.)

2. Start www.exe/post/lx with maxdos when using the Hp200 with a
external modem. (Sysmgr/Memo does not work)

3. Start Post/Lx without maxdos with Sysmgr in the background.

In 1 & 2 I use Pe for writing email. This works well.

I want to use PE when I use 3. too. I have gotten this to work (see
other mail in same thread)

I can not move/export to a external file this way. I can move from one
folder to a another which can be on another drive, but not mark several
and export them.. But if you say I can I will have to test this some
more.. Andreas suggested to move the file to where I wanted..

Arrg! Another example of me not reading the Helpfiles good enough..
(thanks for not flaming me  ;-))

Another question: I will hook all my computers in a network soon.
I have not upgraded my Hp and therefor I can not use the pcmciaslot for
a network card. Need the memorycard for applications.

My question is then: When I hook up all my computers in a network to
share files/internetconnection. Can I hook the Hp to the
network/internet via the seriell cable?

My other computers runs Win 95/98.

I would like to go online and have the other computers/hplx share the
internetconnection. Can this be done? I use www/lx..

I have read somewhere about ppp over seriellcable, but I can not find
the info anymore..

Tips on setting up this appriciated..

I recall some posters having problems with power drain and had to
completely reset the LX, erasing everything in RAM.

This had to be done by removing all batteries (including backup) and
pressing/holding the ON key for a minute or so to drain the system.

Apparently, there is memory on the LX that will persist even thru a
Shift-Ctrl-On reboot (this memory holds some configuration information) and
sometimes clearing this out will fix the problem.  Otherwise, there's
always Thaddeus.  2 days on alkaline (unused even) is a tad on the
gluttonous side.

The classic way to handle this is just to create a mail filter within your
email reader that automatically moves the email from a given sender into a
seperate folder. This is what I do for a lot of mail lists (including this
one)without cluttering up my general email.

Works great.

What I've done on occasion is to select the text on a single page with the
mouse, copy to the clipboard and paste into a word processor. A macro could
probably be set up to do the "dogwork" as it only works on a page at a time.

Don't know if this is of any help.

Hello,

I hope one of the japanese list members could help me to
find the e-mail address or phone of the following person:

Jamafuji Kazuo, research fellow at unspecified Tokyo college
He develops a man-worn power-assisted frame (robot) which
8x multiplies muscle power, for use in emergency rescue
operations, device codename is HARO.

I am working on a system, which could well integrate with
the above device and probably help him to put his develop-
ment into realization real soon.
I am in a need to establish contact quite soon, I only write
offtopic here for urgency.

Thank you very in advance, Sincerely: Tamas Feher

Seems to me that some PDF files are simply scanned-in
images, so there is no textual information to extract,
unless one has an OCR program.  I've run across this in
the past with older electronic parts data sheets sometimes.
Maybe an OCR program can accept such a file as input and
produce text output?  I may have missed a previous post
on the subject, but does the Adobe e-mail .pdf to text
service not work on your file?

Does anyone know of an easy way to automate mouse movements and

Pagrmaker, then copy and paste it into Wordpad the save it as a
text file.  I need to do this for about 800 entries, so
automating it would be a big help <g>.

I use www/lx to connect to Tele2. I run www/lx from my cf card with
adapter in my Siemens Laptop. I connect to a V90 node with my external
Us Robotics Sportster Flash.

I have problems connecting. I get a disconnect very often at the "IPCP
Autohentication  /\/\/\/ disconnect"

/\/=arrow up/down

I have been in contact with sysop Tele2. He have told me that the V90
node does not accept IPCP because the node gives/force a ip address on
me. IPCP is engotiating for a ip adress??

Well my question is if I can turn off the IPCP before I try to go
online? I then can go online without the disconnects I hope

TIA

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-2"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hello All,

I came across the following webpage by pure chance. Seems
like Japanese users are even more keen to keep there LXes
(which BTW do speak japanese unlike CE...) alive, than us.

Have a look at it, in english, language may be flawed, but it's
the extensive content, which really matters:
<http://member.nifty.ne.jp/peh04245/yafo_mirror/save200lxE.htm>

This page is solid evidence of the huge installed user base of
HPLX in Japan. Considering that Internet coverage over there
is below USA or even Western European level, we may assume
that there are 200 times that many active owners on the island.

Also, visit <http://www.kh.rim.or.jp/~nashima/lxcon.html>, there
is a really cool 3D icon for the 200LX campaign. I love that one!

<<My latest information is that the 200LX will be available at
least until Dec 31, 1999 direct from the company, which took
over operation of the production line from HP. They will ship
units directly to regional and country HP distributors without
using HP channels; however devices will hold the usual HP
warranty and HP logo. However, after Nov 1st, smallest
order quantity accepted will be no less than 100pcs. Info is
from an official east-european HP distributor executive>>

Sincerely Yours: Tamas Feher.

Stan,

It now appears that I might have some time.  They will be
kicking me out of the store setup around 5 PM Tues evening.  So I am now
checking my AAA travel guide to see where you will be.  Can
find the D*** thing.  Must be a new one.  My guide book is
1997.  How far is it from the Airport Courtyard?  What is the
Phone # again.  Maybe we can get together for dinner?  It
will have to be an early evening.  Have to get an early start
in the AM.  The Hampton Inn # is 770-577-2110.  BTW, my 200LX
is now 32 megs DS with SSC.   =Bob=

My ADB file is 25K and it opens in about 1 second. It has NEVER
taken longer than that. So, any long delays in opening are not
caused by sheer size.

I know that lots of ToDo's can slow down Appt and carry-over
ToDo's especially. Do you have lots of those?

You might want to try opening a brand new ADB file and then
merging in your old one. Perhaps that will clear out any junk
in there.

You might try a lower baud rate than you do now. It could be characters

You might have spoken to the cleaning personell. <G>

IPCP sets up IP protocoll over PPP. One of the things that IPCP does is
negotiating an address - if it is not a static one.

If you could, then you could not run TCP/IP across the link.

I have already made a lot of folders on my f (jam)drive where I
keep/move my messages from my mail out/in boxes which I want to hold
on too.

The messages I want to export to a external file(s) is outbox messages
from various newsgroups that I want to get "rid" off from Post/lx, but
still keep..

I like to clean up from time to time and I also like to have separat
files for each newsgroup I export.. I can not make any more folders
because my cfg's are at it's limit already. So I guess I have to live
with the Shift F10/Enter/Del for each message I export.

Thanks anyway

Hi Tamas

I'm Japanese list member.
I think you serched wrong name.
Perhaps you should contact with Prof. Kazuo Yamafuji of the university of elec
tro-communications.
I can not get the exact phone number. but 81-424-43-5442 is the same division'
s representive number.

There is no direct way to mark a bunch of messages and then use
Shift-Save to write them all out to a file you name. The
Shift-Save only works on the current message.

You have to accommplish what you want by marking a bunch of
messages and then use Save to send them to a folder. Then
rename and/or move this folder file to wherever you want it to
me.

You can just keep a folder handy called Export. It is empty
most of the time. Put a bunch of messages in it as I mentioned
above, and then rename/move the EXPORT.I file because that will
have those messages in it that you want.

Yep! If maxdos is involved, it removes SysMgr from memory,
including Memo. To use PE within SysMgr, you just specify PE
as the EditSM (i.e. the editor to use inside SysMgr). I saw

Oops. I missed the "external file". I suggest a hybrid
operation. Move to a special folder just the messages you
marked, then copy that message file to your desired external
file.

Now some people in Japan talk about the specifications of next version of the

Howdy Avi; everyone...

re:
>When you start up ABC.EXE and press F2, what values do you
>see?

 Start Charging (at or below): 2.50 v.
 Stop Fast Charging at:        2.87 v.
 or if stalls for:             1:57 hh:mm
 or after:                    10:00 hh:mm
 Trickle                       0:00 hh:mm

These were the results of my first Autotune.  I fully charged the batteries
with the external charger and then ran them down for a few hours' use
waited 'til the "gas gauge" shown for regular batteries was about 2 blocks
down before I did the autotune.  I let it run all night, w/ ABC/LX on top
of all apps.

These NiMH bttys are pretty old, but still work well. I haven't "abused"
them much.

I've changed the values (today) to:

 Start Charging (at or below): 2.35 v.
 Stop Fast Charging at:        2.92 v.
 or if stalls for:             3:00 hh:mm
 or after:                    16:00 hh:mm
 Trickle                       0:00 hh:mm

<sort of a combination of your and Longden's advice>

but shouldn't I look into changing the trickle?  I thought the "best"
charging happened during the slow trickle charge(?).

Looks like the ABC timers (w/ the TSR) are going to run in all three SSC
sessions that I've got set up; so I should get a more accurate measure of
use time with this new setup.

Is there another way to see the timers (than going into the menu to
potentially reset them)? Also, do I go by the User timer or the Battery
timer and does either reset automatically, after the recharge? <<I'll be
able to answer that one myself in a little bit, as I'll charge it soon and
then look at the timers>>.

I remember folks saying (on this list) that they couldn't be without their
LXs for 16 hours worth of charging and will prob. keep the route of charging
the batteries externally - I just imagine that it is not as thorough as the
ABC/LX-managed charge....

Thanks to all for the (continued) input!!

Oh (PS.), re: Andreas is not nearly the monster he is made out to be....

Thanks for the hints several of you have supplied, but I must have made
myself unclear in my wishes.  I live and die by my databases.  I've got a
BUNCH of them about all kinds of things.  What I was wishing for was an easy
way to store good useful list messages so that I could access them later via
my favorite app.  I understand that if the messages are stored as text files
that there are many ways of searching them for strings but that wasn't what
I wanted to do.
Optimally, I would like a database with several fields such as date of
message, sender, topic, message text and a catagory field (help with apps,
hardware, etc).  Those come to mind initially.  I'm sure a little fine
tuning would occur with use.
Does this make any sense to others?  Or, am I off on my on little side path?
Thanks,
bob

There is no problem transferring binary files from the 95LX to the 200LX,
but only at 2400bps, which is the maximum speed the 95LX's IR port can
handle. You can use the built-in Comms program in both palmtops. The best
protocol to use is probably Xmodem, as sadly Zmodem (which would have
been preferable) is not supported by the 95LX.

If you have access to a laptop with an IR port, then you can most likely
also use that to transfer the files to the 200LX, but at much higher
speeds.


Cheers,

Laust

Hi friends (especially the German ones ;-) )

If I print text files from my HP's serial port to my Canon=20
BJC4100 via a serial to parallel adapter, the German "Umlaute" don't
appear on the paper!

Suppose I have a file called 'sample.txt' containing the text=20

Berlin ist die sch=F6nste aller deutschen St=E4dte
end

and I print it from plain DOS with the command 'copy sample.txt prn',
I get on the paper

begin
Berlin ist die schnste aller deutschen Stdte
end

Does anyone know how to print all characters from DOS?

** Crash on net-down **

I am running net-up.bat in a SC session. when I am finished I run
net-down.bat from HDM shell

@echo off
c:
cd \net
net logoff /yes
net stop server /yes
net stop basic /yes
relnet marknet.dat
lxcic /e > NUL:

Unfortunately after the batchfile is finished the hp200lx freezes. Only
Ctrl-shft-ON recovers.

It is not a matter of SC, here, it looks like, that the conflict is with =
HDM.

*** Using just it *without* HDM just works fine. ***

Does this require any extra switches?

I assume it rather depends on the printer than on DOS. Most probably,
the default character set of the printer is ASCII and in order to set
up the correct character set, you need to send it an initialisation
string. For my printer (Pentax Pocketjet) this is

<ESC>(8U

This needs to be sent to the printer before the text is sent.

The Canon BJ printers usually have two modes: the BJ-mode and the Epson-mode. I
think it is the easiest way to use BJ-mode. It emulates the IBM Proprinter
(X24E).

Perhaps you could print it and then scan it with OCR? (Optical Character

Right, that was a typo: it is displayed on +( and +) lines only.

Any reason why it should display on +. lines?

Easy to add if somebody wants it. I only hope there are not some people
who want it and some who don't. There are too many configuration
options already. <G>

If it were put in front, editing of such a line would be terrible, as
the characters would not be where they appear.

Hi all!

Does anyone know the capacity of the smaller drive of T2T 32,64,96MB momory up
grade?

Especially I want to know the relationship between the size of the upgraded sm
aller drive and the size of the orginal 200LX's C drive.

Size of the smaller drive.
+-----++-------+-------+-------+
|200LX||Upgrade|Upgrade|Upgrade|
|Model||  32MB |  64MB |  96MB |
+=====++=======+=======+=======+
| 1MB ||   1MB |   1MB |   1MB |
+-----++-------+-------+-------+
| old ||       |       |       |
| 2MB ||   2MB |   2MB |   2MB |
+-----++-------+-------+-------+
| new ||       |   ??? |       |
| 2MB ||   2MB |   4MB |   2MB |
+-----++-------+-------+-------+
| 4MB ||   2MB |   2MB |   2MB |
+-----++-------+-------+-------+
This table is uncertain.
My 64MB upgrade 200LX has 3.5MB C drive space, not.2MB.
This isn't agree with T2T comment on web page www.times2tech.com/techram.html.

Is this table right?
I also want to know the same table of 1000CX.

I'm interested in the capacity of the smaller drive of T2T momory upgrade, bec
ause, JKIT(Japanese Enviroment) works only on the unswapped C drive, and it is
 almost impossible to install it on 1MB drive.

Thanks

Hi all:

        Yes, I run net-up/down from within a SC work area as well. All
        seems fine as long as you don't switch areas, or power
        down...then you lockup.

        One thing I have found is that it seems you need a rather large
        Work Area to run net-up/down & ipx-up/down...I can't seem to
        use anything smaller than about 380k...eventhough there is
        plenty of space left after the drivers are loaded. Can anyone
        else comment on this?

        Cheers...AJKind

Sorry if this has been asked before.

Has anyone found satisfactory Dos substitutes for the text printing
capabilities of Word and Excell?   Programs such as Works are ok, but
output is lackluster.  Envisio Publisher prints great, but it is hard to
use for casual or frequent applications.   And guess there is no real
approximation to the things Excell can do with printing (except perhaps a
dedicated, limited function program such as Calendar printer plus).

I hope I come across clearly.   Any ideas?

I have corrected the table above for the upgrades.  The 64MB board has a 2MB
chip on it, but this feature will be removed in a future version of the
board to make it smaller.  The 96MB upgrade makes a 32MB original C: drive
and 64MB F: drive on older 1MB & 2MB machines.

Cheers,
Mack

WordPerfect and PlanPerfect (spreadsheet). PlanPerfect uses the same program
modules as WordPerfect. There is a softfont program called MoreFonts, that
works very nice with the WordPerfect programs. Otherwise, GoScript does a
very good job. With GoScript you have Postscript quality.

The 32/64 split 96MB upgrade seems to me to be a nice
feature. Is the serial # boundary between "old" and "new"
2MB machines the same boundary as for the 32MB upgrade (my
SG55 has a 1MB C: drive & 32MB F: drive before swapping) ?

For the user. Imagine editing a line where the cursor position and the
text you enter are offset four characters. You want to delete that "x",
so you place the cursor to where you would normally place it, then move
four columns to the left (because you *know* it actually is there and
not where you see it) and then you press backspace.

If you don't like the week day display, you can turn it off in PE.CFG.

After successfully using net-up.bat, I tried ipx-up.bat.

Before I tried ipx-up.bat, I installed the protocol IPX on a NT 4.0
Workstation. (It is the same Workstation "baron" where I connect to with
net-up.bat). When ipx-up.bat is executed it loads all drivers flawless.
However when it reconnects to the workstation, it fails.

   net use h: \\baron\g$

results in

   Error 53 Cannot find computer baron

After ipx-down.bat, I executed net-up.bat. The hp200lx connects
properly to the computer baron. It works perfect.

I am completely unfamiliar with all IPX related stuff. I appreciate
any help.

Just reviewed the 9/1 -2 digest and noticed several folks out there have a

If so is there a site with the setup for this?

It is important to know what form the information in the .PDF is stored
in. There are at least three important possibilities, each of which
would require substantially different treatment, and which are orders
of magnitude different in complexity.

To see which likely obtains, I'd `print' the .PDF to a PostScript
file, and then look at the postscript to see if I can spot any of
the text. If you can, then recovery isn't likely too hard.

I finally got around to firing up my wife's Compuserve account this
weekend, and visited the HPHAND section.  I was able to find the various
Quicken tools and files I had heard about, plus a lot of other good
stuff.  It occurs to me that, barring any legal problems, it would be
nice to have these libraries "mirrored" somewhere (perhaps S.U.P.E.R.
would be the place) for those who don't have Compuserve access.  Maybe
even this is already done, and I just don't know about it.

Yes, it has the same serial number constraints.  The best test is the run
the internal memory test described at my web site since the serial number
thing isn't absolute.

I agree completely. As an Earthlink user, I would love to be able to get
access to the HPHAND library. How much of it is exclusive to HPHAND and how
much of it is found on S.U.P.E.R., anyone?

Greetings Helmuth & All:

        I have had a similar problem. I have several WFW3.11 & W95
        machines here at the Lab. I can connect to some, but not
        others. The problem follows me home: my IBM ThinkPad 760ED
        connects fine, but my OmniBook 4000C does not. All machines
        seem to have no trouble w/ NetBUEI.

        BTW: Rod turned me on to a great WWW site for MSWin networking:

        http://www.wown.com

        I haven't gone thru it totally, but the answer may be there.

        Cheers,

Subject:      pdf to txt - the hard way
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain

There is one thing that has worked for me with getting an encrypted pdf
exported to text.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
1. install a postscript printer driver into Windows (I like the Canon
Fiery - color laser driver - mainly because I already use it.)

2. open pdf file in Acrobat

3. print pdf to file using postscript driver

4. download Ghostscript/Ghostview 5.5 from the net and install

5. use Ghostview to open your printer file created in step 3

6. use GV's text export function to extract text from file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------

A couple of things to note:

1. If your pdf has multiple columns of text you are in for a lot of work
getting the file fixed.  In that case, scanning the printed doc may be a
saner option. (If you don't have a scanner, you could try faxing it to
yourself and using the fax's OCR functions)

Or use Acrobat's Access plug-in and hand select text and copy it page by
page.  (the access plug-in seems to recognize columns ok)

2.  I think there is a patch out there so that Ghostscript can open an
encrypted pdf - I don't have it so I don't know if you can skip the
printing to a postscript file in step 3.

FWIW, I think you may be ok exporting the text you've paid for to a
format you can use but you should honor the publisher's rights and not
distribute the text file to anyone else...

HTH,

Terry Owen

This issue was raised before, and there was some explanation by Mitch Hamm
(SUPER admin) that certain legal restrictions applied to the effect that
portions of the HPHAND library was not permitted for public download (or
something like that).

Some of the HPHAND authors had graciously made copies of their products
available to SUPER, but I think a wholesale piping of HPHAND to SUPER, or any
general non-HPHAND access to the HPHAND library would entail some significant
legal footwork (if it is even possible).

As a non-HPHAND member, I have no idea about the contents (size and quality) vs
SUPER, and while I would love to browse their library, I could certainly
empathize with the poor soul who has to do the legal homework/paperwork to make
this happen.

I agree completely. As an Earthlink user, I would love to be able to get
access to the HPHAND library. How much of it is exclusive to HPHAND and how
much of it is found on S.U.P.E.R., anyone?

Is it just me, or does it seem odd that an offer for a new
free email service is being sent from a Juno email address?

Why not a mail address from *his* own domain???

Hmm - just seems odd, I don't mean to imply anything more
than that, could be a fine mail service...

Also, how is this better than www.palmtop.com?

I'm not a PDF pro but I do know that encrypted pdf's are a big issue; newer
pdf's with forms and javascript links also complicate things...I don't have
a clue what the newest v4.0 has done to the format, but I'm sure they've
thrown some fun things into the mix.  Pdf's aren't just Postscript anymore.
 <g>

I have v3.0 of Acrobat Exchange (the program that creates .pdf files) and
know that there were issues in creating the files with backwards
compatiblity for 2.0.  By using 2.0 compatible files, I didn't have any
trouble viewing with AcroDos. (v1.0)  But there are lots of pitfalls;  I
know that one I hate is jazzed-up text that has been created as a graphic.


It's really too bad that Adobe made such inroads with Acrobat before HTML
became so widespread.  But I don't think it's going to go away, especially
with the ability to take a Pagemaker/Quark document and make it available
electronically with just a few clicks. Companies love it, consumers don't
count, I guess.

PDF tutorial: (I'll keep it short)

(1) All PDFs are, of course, `alike' at some level. They are all
    made up of `objects' which are pointed at structures that represent
    the pages, indexes, thumbnails, ...
(2) However, PDFs are made up of `Objects' which can be just about
    anything that Adobe chooses to support:
    (a) Fragments of PostScript, a very general purpose display language
        that requires substantial hardware or an elaborate interpreter
        to resolve;
    (b) Bit `images' in any of several formats;
    (c) Compressed versions of the above;
    (d) Encrypted versions of the above; and
    (e) Whatever else Adobe wants to support in Acrobat.

ACROBAT surely reads them all (or else Adobe is making some incredible
mistake) as .PDF was designed just for such a purpose. As a result
Acrobat (and its support .DLLs) is huge.

The Acrobat `Distiller' will translate PostScript into PDF. Lots of
programs in the `TeX' suite also will generate .PDF. IIRC, Ghostscript
will also, in some versions, generate .PDF. Last, and by no means least,
any program is welcome to create .PDFs directly, although one does have
to be quite careful to keep all of the `pointers' straight.

A quick refinement to what I wrote below:  The extract text function in
Ghostview does seem to recognize columns in pdf files, however I did have
one pdf where there where bunches of text in the wrong place.  It may have
been boxed text, not columns as I indicated before.

But any magazine type format is going to have chunks of text placed in
awkward places, since most don't put the whole article in complete, but
continue at the back of the magazine.      So you may still end up with a
large reformatting job to make the text readable.

it seems to work on and off with no consistency and nothing has changed on my

Yep I got it to work. I wanted to have as much memory to spare when i
run Post/lx therefor I do a post.exe |288 and then maxdos peh.bat/PE
in the setup. As long as I do not leave the hp in Pe when in Post/lx
I can run/switch to Notebook or Phonebook when still in Post/lx.

I want to keep seperate files for each newsgroups. So I will still use
the export to file routine.. Bit slow but if I do it often enough it
won't bother me that I can't mark/export several messages..

Well there are some changes in my plan. I will get isdn soon. I will
also hook my computers in a network.

So this is what I want to do:

I have 2 computers. One desktop (with ethernet) which is connected to
the isdnline (via com 1/isdn phone with built in pcconnections)

and one laptop with a pcmcia ethernetcard. The desktop and the laptop
will be connected via a 5 port hub. I will run Win 98 SE which makes
me able to use the isdnconnection on the desktop via ethernet. (Share)

I then insert my cf/pcmcia with www/lx in slot 2 in my laptop.

How should I set up www/lx to use the ethernetconnection via the
desktop. I do not think that I will have any problems sharing
internetconnection between desktop/laptop. But I do not know how I can
set up www/lx to use the ethernetcard instead of com 1 where I now
have an external analog modem..

Any suggestions? A workaround could be to hook my isdnphone to the
laptop and ditch the network and use the same setup as I use now. But
then I have to plug/unplug isdnphone/modem as I do now..

TIA

I just downloaded Acrobat reader 4.0 with

This plugin adds menu items to export

Because I just spent several minutes searching the Adobe site for this, I
thought I might save others the time by pointing directly to the page with
the download for Adobe Acrobat Access (their name for the plug-in that lets
you export HTML or ASCII text files).

Is there a drawback in swapping the big drive to C: ?

The alternative question is:

What's the advantage to have an original 32MB C: drive (on older
machines with the 96MB Upgrade)?

Sysmgr/Memo does work, if you like to use it.
If you want to use PE anyhow, why do you annotate '(Sysmgr/Memo does
not work.)' ?

Hey gang -

Back again...  Just sent Mitch an updated version of Charge-It!
(battery charge controller) - now with HP-Pygmy source code included.

Also sent a new toolkit for use with HP-Pygmy Forth that should help
build Forth apps with the look and feel of the built-ins.  This seems
to work fine for me, but there may still be bugs...  If you use
HP-Pygmy, try it out - but consider it a beta test version.


Later,

Anyone using Intellisync that might be able to help?  I have tried all the

There is no drawback.  I basically leave it up to the end user.

There is no advantage.  It is just the way the upgrade has to work on older
machines.

Thanks, Brian.
So, before I go and spend the 200US, any list member had successfully set
this up? If so, where can I find some clue?
Thanks.

Are you familiar with TeX or LaTeX?
If not, go to a public library and have a look into a LaTeX book.
There is a very good book about LaTeX written by Leslie Lamport.
LaTeX is one of the best "word processing" softwares I've ever seen.
It's a little bit tricky to configure and to undedrstand, but it runs
on the palmtop.

Even the new version, LaTeX 2e, runs well on my DS upgraded machine. It
takes about 5-6 MB disk space.

Is there a way to use long filenames with HV? I often download whole websites
with a lot of hyperlinks to long filenames. Until now, I convert all the HTML
files with some search/replace steps. But of course it doesn't make always
sense, because it is too much work for really big sites.

HV does not really care about file names. But DOS does. DOS does not
allow file names longer than 8 chars plus 3 chars extension.

Me?   Are you talking to me?   Glad you asked tho.  yesh,
I am looking for maps, readable (LX/PC110) local road/transit
maps of your downtown/central areas.  Looked on the web,
found a few, but would like a few more good ones.  Ideally,
15-20 blocks of the immediate downtown of your local town
or city.   Pls send to hobchi@hotmail or Yahoo.com as JUNO

Subject:      Tech:  Help Getting SanDisk 20 Mb Card to Work in 200lx
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I recently purchased a 20 meg Sandisk Card from Scott Moore whose ad has
appeared on this list a number of times.  It arrived today, and I plugged
it in and turned on my 200, however it just locks up.    The only way I can
get the 200  to respond is to do a "ctrl-alt-del" reset, then it goes to
the top card; I can then turn the unit off/on, but can't get the normal
screen to come up; when I press the "More" key, the screen goes blank and
the machine locks up.

I have the 200 currently set up to use an EXP Thinfax 1414LXM Fax/Modem
Card with 2 mb on board, so I know the 200 works ok.  I've gone through the
HPLX.NET FAQ, but can't find any info there on using flashcards, and of
course no docs came with the the card.  Hopefully it's just ignorance on my
part regarding installation & use of flashcards.  FWIW, the card is
identified as follows:

20 mb Flashdisk Mass Storage System
SanDisk PCMCIA PC Card ATA
The number associated with the bar code on the back is:  424450B

Can someone offer some assistance getting the card to work?  I sure hope I
didn't waste $40!

TIA,

Al, does the unit work with the card if it is plugged into the AC adapter?
if so, the card may draw too much power from the pc card slot. Good luck!

Of course. But if I use a tool (if it exists) to display long filenames under

I don't have a ThinFax card, but have you tried commenting out the ThinFax
driver in your CONFIG.SYS and see if the card works then?

Mine was set to Ethernet II. I did uninstall it and installed it again.
Now it is working. Great to have the hp200lx as a full
working client on the net, isn't it!

Did you swap to another session? Did you return to the network session
and networking did resume operation?

I tried, I swapped to POST/LX session, POST/LX already open, just for
reading (no connection at all).

Once swapping was completed to the POST/LX session, the hp200lx did
freeze. Recovery, only Crtl-Alt-Del.

Will go for the maps next.

I am not sure what you are asking for. DOS does not support any longer
file names. This is a limitation of a file system. Of course there are
tools that allow to bind a long name to a file and those tools can show
you the long name instead of the file name. But the file name is still
8+3 character max.

I believe one of Symantec's Norton products (Navigator maybe?) allows users of
older computers to read/write to the FAT32 file system used by 32-bit Windows.
I've never used the product, but I believe it is only for Windows 3.1 and does
not work in DOS.

LXTCP (it would actually be DosPPP that would do it) does not
support IR connections.

Thanks. Rod and everybody who had responsed to my post.
I'd go thru some of the privious posts (in list.hplx, that's really handy and
helpful)yesterday, and seems that even if LXTCP will work, I still hv to
subscribe to a data line from the network supplier, am I understand this
correctly?
That's too much cost for me, so I'll drop this idea now.
Thank you all for the helping hands.

I am looking for a basic editor in the form a C source code that I can
modify into a decent editor for use in LHAPI programming - the built in
Multi Line Edit gets too slow when the note size gets large. If anyone has a
C based text editor source code that you think will fill the bill {even if
it takes a lot of memory, as there are generally ways around that} please
send it to me.

Thanks!

Have you ever noticed that when you're playing Freecell, and your

rolled up about 4K points?!

How did it do that?  How does it know when I'm looking elsewhere?

I have, and have been planning on writing a review for a while.  The

I want to thank everyone for their help with my

haven't been able to try anything yet. Due to minor
oral surgery on Fri., I expect to be well drugged
until Sat. or Sun. Maybe I can play then and see what
happens.

Or maybe I should try while well drugged...  :)  The
results may not be as good, but Valium and pain
killers might take the edge off using Microsloth
software!

Thanks again,

p.s. How long did it take for carpal tunnel (sp?) to
be recognized as a work related condition? Do you
think that there may be a similar future for a
Micro-gate Stress Syndrome??? Just a thought. Valium
sounds like a good treatment!

I think Stephan is asking if HV can automatically try to read 8.3 files

Thanks Mack; I tried your suggestion and it cleared things up so I can now
use the FlashDisk..  Matter of fact, I can use either card with the line
"device=c:\tflxm\lxm.drv" in config.sys remmed out. The modem works fine,
however the 2 mb of memory on it's card, which is assigned to be drive "F",
is inaccessible with that line remmed out.

For those familiar with the ThinFax Modem Cards:
Is there a way to set up config.sys so that I can simply swap the ThinFax
Modem/Memory card and the FlashDisk and have drive "F" available without
having to rem & unrem the "device=" line?

Reading the docs for the ThinFax Modem Card, it describes the procedure to
install it, the default assignment being F for the 2 mb of memory on it.
The manual goes on to say that the EXP's Flash driver (lxmdrv.sys)should
load AFTER any other flashcard's driver.  Is there a driver for the SanDisk
Card  that I can position in Config.sys, or is the FlashDisk a different
breed, which doesn't use an external driver?

I'm way over my head in this area, so any additional help would be
appreciated!

TIA,

Copy your autoexec.bat & config.sys to the 20 meg ram card.
then setup the system to look at the A drive for config.sys
first, C drive second. Then the line for the F drive can be
left intact in the C drive config.sys and remed out on the
the A drive config.sys

I know that KEYBEZ works in System Manager, but does it stay in effect wh=

you terminate System Manager and go to the DOS prompt.  The Users Manual

The reason I ask is that someone asked about setting up a Dvorak keyboard=

th
hands or the right or left hand alone.  The latter two might be worth a
second look.  =


Also, while I'm thinking of it, does anyone have a copy of the KEYB.COM
program that comes with DOS 5.0.  My set of DOS 5.0 files is missing this=

one.  I have the DVORAK.SYS file but the KEYB.COM file from DOS 6.22
doesn't want to work on the Palmtop.

Sure, I wrote an article for PTP that gives all the details. There are a
few gotchas to watch out for.  Even discovered a way to run any EXM file =
by
setting up a dummy icon in appmgr and then renaming the exm file to
dummy.exm before clicking on the icon. =

<Of course there are tools that allow to bind a long name to a file and those

OK. Let me search in another direction: I have a Windows-tool called
Webdownloader that allows me to download a whole website for offline browsing.
When I want to use such downloaded websites on the lx I have to convert not only
all the filenames.html to filename.htm, the links inside of the html files have
to be converted to the 8.3 DOS standard too.

I think there could be a tool that does this job while downloading.
Webdownloader e.g. converts all the links from http://www into a file:///c/ etc.
thing. After this, HV is the perfect tool to offline browse it.

Does anybody know about such a tool?

You can use DRVLOAD from the command line instead of using the DEVICE= line
in your CONFIG.SYS file.  To unload the driver you can first issue a MARK
command before the DRVLOAD and later use RELEASE to unload the driver and
the MARK from memory.

This software is all available for free from the shareware sites, such as
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/simtelnet/msdos/tsrutil/tsrcom35.zip for the
TurboPower Software TSR utilities MARK and RELEASE and
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/simtelnet/msdos/pcmag/v12n19.zip for the DRVLOAD
utility.

I just received Boot Commander from Mix Software and I'm having trouble
setting it up. Everytime I make my config.sys and autoexec.bat files and try
and run BCTELL I get a Selection= message. Is it possible to send me a copy of
your config and autoexec files to see how you have it setup?
Thanks

I also purchased some cards from scott and haven't had a problem with
any of them. However, I have experienced what you're describing in the
past and it always seems to stem from low batteries.  In my case, I
had to swap new batteries and do a <ctrl><shift><on> (answering No to
reset data) and the problem goes away.

Hi Hp's !!

        I have problems when i send ascii files via serial port to a PC.
        These files are not received perfectly. So,  some of the letters
change. I write in Spanish where accentuated letters (=E1 =E9 ...) and =F1=

are often used. After the communication, i only can read symbol
letters instead of them.

        Can someone help me to solve that problem ??

        Thanks, best regards

        Fran

Here is how I do it.  In a file called c:\lxkeys.key I have:

   Ctrl Quicken : Ctrl Ctrl Quicken Quicken Ctrl
   Alt Quicken : Alt Quicken Quicken Alt
   Quicken : Ctrl Memo Memo Ctrl ! Quicken=3DNotepad

Then in Autoexec.bat I have:

   d:\bin\key200 c:\lxkeys.key

Now the Quicken key goes to Notepad (Ctrl Memo) and
Ctrl-Quicken goes to the real Quicken; Alt-Quicken remains
as before.  This works even under Carousel.

I did look through the wwwdoc file before asking..honestly ;-)) I had
no section 4.7 so I downloaded a new www package from the Dasoft
website. I had a wwwdoc from february and I needed the one from
march.. sorry..

Well regarding network access I just have to try it out when I get
isdn/network. My setup is a bit special because I will use a laptop
with my memorycard with www/lx/palrun and a pcmcia ethernetcard to
connect to my desktop and then to the internet. But I should get it to
work one way or the other..

Funny that you should ask, just last week I finally decided to
reassign the Quicken key to bring up the database program.  Here
is what I did.

I made a file called mykeys.txt and put it into my root
directory, and it looks like this:

QUICKEN : CTRL PHONE PHONE CTRL

Then in my autoexec.bat file there is this line:

KEY200 C:\MYKEYS.TXT

Also in my autoexec.bat file is a path statement that includes:

PATH d:\bin

If you don't want to add the above path to your path statement,
you could just add the full path name to the KEY200 file in the
d:\bin directory, and same thing with the MYKEYS.TXT file, it
could be put into a sub-directory and a full path added to the
line in the autoexec.bat file.

After rebooting, each time I hit the Quicken key, the database
opens.  Hope this helps.

Had one.  Sold it.  Doesn't work with the HP.  Doesn't even fit in the
PCMCIA slot (just a smidgen too thick.)

Interesting - is it sold as a Type II device?  I can understand the not
working part of your experience, but not even fitting in the slot?  That's
amazing.

Hi all,

instead of searching for a 200LX repleacement that may never
came I decided to buy a third palmtop.

It arrived today from Tom Rundel (outstanding service there) in
Germany stuffed with T2T 64MB and DS upgrades to join its two
little (but older) brothers DS 8MB and DS 5MB.

Now I feel trully unsured against HP moods <g>.

I've only two worries:

1 - To swap or not swap the F: and C: drives?
2 - How to backup the bigger drive? I only have an 40 MB IBM SSF
card (and a 16MB IBM Thinkpad PC Card). Can the 40MB store all
the 64MB drive if I zip the files? Strategies for backing up?

Help would be appreciated.

Regards

Antonio

Yup.  There's a slight increased thickness in the middle of the card, and
when I forced it (and it did take some forcing) in the HP, I noticed the
HP's seam was pulling apart.

Even so, the drivers for the external PCMCIA model don't work with the HP.
They require, as far as I can tell, an AT level (i.e. 9-15) IRQ as it is a
"secondary" IDE controller.

I'll guess that your serial port is configured as 7 bit which is
stripping the high order bit of each byte and changing those special
characters which need it.  Try changing it to 8,N,1 (on both ends of the
serial connection).

Buy an Accton ethernet card, and back it up at 150kB/s to a
desktop machine using LXTCP or LXMNC.

LXTCP is open-source, so there is no such thing as a "forget
it" statement :-)  Anyone is free to make any addition to
LXTCP - you just need to find someone who can do it, and who
is willing to release it as open source (ccLXPOP is the
example that proves that it's possible).

At the moment, the only instance of the technology for
communicating with phones via IR is the proprietary property
of D&A Software (as is their well-earned right, as they
developed it, and wish to make money from it).

For LXTCP to support IR, either the technology would have to
be released by D&A Software and then incorporated in DosPPP
(which is difficult cause we don't have the source to DosPPP
and the author has gone AWOL), or reproduced by someone else
and then incorporated into DosPPP (even more difficult), or
www.exe (the WWW/LX TCP/IP engine) changed to be able to
provide a packet driver interface to the IR communication
backbone (this depends upon the good graces of D&A Software,
or maybe a business decision that there is a market for
selling www.exe as a general packet driver interface upon
which people could choose to run LXTCP and other
packet-driver based applications).

So it is possible, but out of my hands - as I don't have the
knowledge, time nor inclination to reproduce the IR
communication technology and also work out how to recreate
the latest version of DosPPP from the source code we do have,
and then add the IR code to it.  I don't even have a mobile
phone (and don't particularly want one, either).

Origins might like this.  Bestbuy is selling the 'Ultima Collection' CD-ROM

Ultima 1-3 run well on the HP, ive played Ultima 3 alot on my 100lx.  So i

Thanks for the comments; I confirmed lack of power was not the problem...I

Never heard of one. But: This is a perfect tool for you to try
your hand on! Please don't ask that HV does it, we will not
make this change to HV code, promise! :) ... Besides, after
you download your Website, it is a good opportunity to fire up
that as-yet-unknown or as-yet-unwritten utility and let it do
the work...

As an aside, I found the following intriguing comment in the
GET.DOC: (GET is on our Website http://www.dasoft.com - link
to FTP SITE, then WWW... )

---------- From GET.DOC ----------

Note that when GET downloads a document, it also modifies it.
In many cases, links in documents on the Web are relative to
the document itself and not complete URLs. GET modifies the
documents when downloaded so that all links are complete
URLs. This is required so that HV can place a complete URL
into GET.DAT. Otherwise, HV would have no clue where the
document came from. If you want to use GET to download a
document and *not* modify it, start it with a "-o" option to
download the original document.

----------

I wonder what it would take to make GET a Website "grabber"?

As long as you do not mind me quoting the manual in response
to you publicly, - then ask away! :-) I think it is a nicer
way than flaming... "There, you see: You could have read this
right here..." :)

I really think though that the message is getting through.
Most people are now doing some serious reading and when they
ask questions, they are prepared, really prepared, and that
raises the quality of the whole support line! I am quite
pleased with the movement. While the of the world seems to
dumb down, Palmtoppers get smarter and smarter! No complaints
here...

To summarise:

Once a jolly Motorola Software Engineer camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree
And he sang as he watched and waited for LXTCP to IR to his SH888
"You'll come a www/lx from dasoft!" said he.

Hi friends,

I just finished to compose a configuration of LaTeX 2e especially for
the palmtop.
It works perfectly, needs abt. 6 MB of disk space and is especially
adapted to the rules of the German language (also the README file I
wrote for configuration help is in German).

So, if anyone is interested in having LaTeX 2e on his palmtop, drop me
aa line - I can either burn it on CD and send it with post mail, or I
can send it via email - it's abt. 6 MB including the LaTeX directory
tree you'll have to copy on the palmtop, a few docs, a few additional
files for configuring the DVI drivers for your printer and the
installation guide written by myself.

The package contains LaTeX, the DVI drivers (viewer and those for the
printer), Metafont, TeXCAD and the 'German' package. It does not
include DVIPS and Ghostscript/Ghostview (these don't run on the
palmtop).

I guess you just have to make the desktop the default router (gateway)
so that WWW/LX always talks with the desktop. The more difficult part
might be to set up the desktop so that it correctly routes the packets
from the palmtop to the outside world and the other way round.

Why not make it available at S.U.P.E.R? How big is it when compressed?

Just a point of semantics... if a file won't pass through a 7-bit
path un-scathed, then it isn't a pure ASCII file.  By definition, ASCII
characters use only 7-bits.  Clearly, his file must use characters from
the so-called "extended" character set, of which there are numerous
definitions.

We are beta testing a new WWW/LX client named IRC/LX. As the name
implies, it is an IRC client (Internet Relay Chat). Because the beta
team includes no experienced IRC users, I am looking for volunteers.

If you...

 - Use a HP palmtop
 - Own a registered copy of WWW/LX
 - Are an experienced IRC user
 - Are willing to risk crashes on your palmtop
 - Are willing to provide feedback about the product
 - Would like to join the test

...please send an email to me that includes the "UserName" line from
your WWW.CFG.

In case there will be many people wanting to join, we might not be able
to invite everybody. So excuses in advance in case I need to say
"sorry".

Andreas

Well, I'm sure that I won't get to join in the beta testing, even though =
I
have been begging for an IRC client. I am extremely IRC competent and =
have
done a lot of ircII scripting. Here's my 'username' line:

Anyways, there's my info. I'm eager and uniquely qualified.

Check out the C Users Group site (http://www.hal9k.com/cug/); you can
either buy the CD-ROM from Walnut Creek (www.cdrom.com), get the
book/CD-ROM combo, or download the files from Walnut Creek's ftp site
(ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/.1/cug/)

Oh yeah, does it do IDENTD? Most of the major IRC networks require that =
the
clients do this. This is the reason why VOICE, a DOS IRC client, will no
longer function on some networks.

     If you use X-Finder you should find that the XFS(?) transfer
     program is *much* faster than Transfile. It seems to be about
     twice as fast on both NT and Win98.

Thanks for your answer but both ports (palmtop & Pc) have 8,N,1 and
share the same ascii code page (850).

I don't understand what is happening ??

At any rate, thanks

Sounds like what's needed is a program I wrote some years back, and sadly have
since mislain. I'll sketch it out, though.

After doing a websuck (I was using webcopy), I ran a perl script over it to
convert it to 8+3 filenames, editing the links. The approach I took, because
it was easiest to code, was to map the names onto some really simple filenames
that didn't happen to occur in any website I websucked: aaaaaaaa.htm,
aaaaaaab.htm, etc. So it was something like (off the top of my head,
untested):

        #!/usr/bin/perl -w
        use strict;
        use IO::File;

        # Filenames come from stdin; build renaming map
        my %ren;
        my $fn = 'aaaaaaaa';
        while (<>) {
                chomp;
                $ren{$_} = $fn++ . '.htm';
        }

        # Build regexps to do renaming
        my %repl = map { qr/\Q$_/, $ren{$_} } keys %ren;

        # Edit the files, writing the versions with modified links
        for $fn (keys %ren) {
                my $fi = IO::File->new("<$fn") || die "$fn: $!\n";
                my $fo = IO::File->new(">$ren{$fn}") || die "$ren{$fn}: $!\n";
                while (defined($_ = $fi->getline)) {
                        while (my($p, $s) = each %repl) {
                                s/$p/$s/;
                        }
                        $fo->print($_);
                }
        }

Probably have a bug or two in there that need fixing, but that's reasonably
close. I didn't try and recognize the context of HTML links, nor to take a
site that was coded with absolute links and make them relative; I just handled
the longnames->8+3 issue for already-local heirarchies, ignoring the
possibility that a match for a filename might occur in the running text (it
never did that I recall).

Now I only use Linux, but I think that's sufficiently straightforward perl
that it ought to work identically under any recent ActiveState perl for
windows.

Hello everybody!

The regular 1-2-3 Rel. 2.4 has a couple of additional features over the
version that comes with the 200LX.

Has anybody installed the DOS version?
Or do you know which add-ins of the DOS Version can be used with the SysMgr.
compliant 1-2-3?

I think about upgrading my 1MB 200LX to 5MB. Does the built-in 1-2-3 make
use of EMM?

Regards,
Tom

Well, since Andreas claims that he filters my email because I am a twit I

The 200LX manual points out the differences (pp 2-2, 2-3) between the builtin
123 and desktop v2.4, but I don't see any note about EMM.

Nevertheless, it's widely known that the builtin version does not support EMM,
or at least the access to that option has been disabled.

As far as I know, there are no restrictions on add-ins which can be used with
the LX 123, except that the add-in must all fit in the available conventional
640k memory.  People have reported using @base, Sideways, WYSIWYG and Always.

And lastly, yes several people (I'm not one of them) have installed the full
desktop version and AFAIK are running it with no problems using EMS and all the
good stuff that comes with that version.

If you really need to run add-ins and have really big spreadsheets, you may want
to go that route also, tho possibly you may want to go for more memory than 5mb
(depends on your use).

Hello everybody!

The regular 1-2-3 Rel. 2.4 has a couple of additional features over the
version that comes with the 200LX.

Has anybody installed the DOS version?
Or do you know which add-ins of the DOS Version can be used with the SysMgr.
compliant 1-2-3?

I think about upgrading my 1MB 200LX to 5MB. Does the built-in 1-2-3 make
use of EMM?

Okay, what is  XFS transfer program - is it built into xfinder or a

I just want to chime in here and say that I too have been berated and
chastised by D&A in the past for asking a question or using the wrong email
address.  Sometimes I feel like they purposely misread my email to make me
look stupid.

Just like the email a day ago asking about long file names.  Simple straight
forward question.  Answer was twisted around to make the person asking look
silly.

Of course just my opinion here.

It's a rare flamer that can vent so thoroughly on someone and then finish with
one of the best promotions for them I'd seen in a while.

FWIW, I don't believe the mentioned transgression was intended with malice, but
I agree with Jeff that we should all exercise some restraint in criticism (even
on a light hearted note) on a public forum.

Tim you must have meant another thread? I thought the one about long

     It's a seperate program (avail. on SUPER) that xfinder is set up
     to use. You launch XFS on your desktop and hit remoteC,D in
     xfinder and carry out file operations on your LX. Oddly enough, it
     was easier to setup on my NT machine, I can hit ESC and set
     parameters, on my Win98 machine I have to set parameters as
     switches when I launch XFS; the ESC to get to the menu doesn't
     work. There are built-in backup icons for tha A and C drives
     in xfinder, I don't use them so I don't know how well they work,
     I just zip and transfer the zip file. A close reading of the
     documentation could tell you more.

Using Perl would have been my first choice too, but a simpler solution
might be to simply use another tool than websuck. I remember downloading a
websucking utility from PC Magazine's home page (or rather Ziff-Davies
net) and it did this conversion automatically. In fact, for any tool that
exists in both a 16bit (Win 3.x) and 32bit (Win 9x)  version (Websuck
might...), you can be reasonably sure that the 16bit version will do
filename conversions (as Win 3.1 doesn't support long filenames), so that
might be a solution also.

Fascinating.  Not being a big xfinder user (yet), moving around is a bit
quirky.  And I did not see a "remote c/d" "place."  And for some reason
(is it limited to how many files it can show like Filer is limited to
first 128 or so) I could not see files on the desktop that I wanted to
copy.  But it is fast.  And it worked on Win95 without much problem.
I'm sure I don't have xfinder (xfiler???) setup correctly.
Occasionally, I got locked and could not cursor up or down a list.  It
would seem fixed on one file and only move one way but not the other.

Thanks for the info.

Or you can use Teleport Pro (www.tenmax.com/software/pro/about.htm)
to download those web pages to your hardisk and configure it to link the files based on 8.3 DOS format. Note that files are still saved as long file names,
it works for the link only. Then zip the files with Winzip or PKZIP newer
version which allow long file names and transfer this zip file to palmtop for
HV.  BTW It is for Windows.

I was another one, but I put the palmtop in a bubble envelope, wrote
"Used equipment for repair" on it and addressed it to

Thaddeus Computing
110 North Court
Fairfeild, Iowa, 52556
USA

airmailed it off, with note of credit card number. Got it back about 3
weeks later here in England. Cost was $125 plus shipping ($9.50 US, $35
international).

I don't know hard hard it would be to relace the screen myself - I did
try to somehow separate it from the palmtop at the left-hand hinge,
where the screen ribbon cable is, but no luck here. If it can be done
do-it-yourself I'm sure someone will post here.

what i ended up doing was getting a  cheap 1mb 200lx and swapping
the motherboards.  of course, i still have a fully functional lx

with a broken  screen  so i'm still in the boat.  I considered
thaddeus, but at the moment $125 is more than i care tospend
on a 1mb lx with a hinge crack.If there were an alternative,
I'd love to look into it.  Until then, I have a spare to experiment
projects on.

Jeff,

I responded to your message, but the response was rejected
because it was more than 140 lines.

In the meantime, you replied to it to me in private email and
I have replied to it in this run. Thank you for writing to me
in private...

I am posting htis so that it is clear that I did not just ignore
you. As to reposting in two parts, nah, not worth it any more,
I think you would agree with me, based on the continued email
discussion.

All the best!

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

From a few recent postings, I conclude that there seem to be some bad
feelings towards my person and D&A Software Inc. among members of this
list. I assume that most of those feelings are a result of my "double
role".

I visit this list as a private person in my free time (you might notice
that I neither use a D&A email address nor any D&A tag in my messages).
I do that because I assume it might be interesting for some people to
discuss things with the author of some D&A products directly and I
might get ideas for product improvements.

But at the same time, I am a director of D&A. As a representative of
D&A, I am supposed to be careful and word each message properly,
showing a lot of patience - the kind of patience our people at
support@dasoft.com show, not because it is their nature, but because it
is their job. <G>

As a private person, however, I feel entitled to express my feelings
and opinions and post messages the way I like, e.g. terse if I am in
a hurry and ignoring messages if I don't feel like answering them.

Now the problem seems to be that I post messages as a private person,
but people read it as a message written by a D&A representative. This
of course can cause bad mood.

If enough people on the list agree it is better that I don't post here,
I will shut up completely. Being here as a representative of D&A is not
an option because I simply have no time for that.

Please let me know your opinions!

Andreas

One has to be careful where lines are drawn, i.e., our President has two roles
-- some of his actions are clearly wrong and give excuse, "If he can do it,
then..."

Certainly, different job responsibilities require different roles. However,
some attributes carry across the line, on duty and off duty. They don't
change. We remain gentlemen in both realms, on duty and off duty. Correction
is one thing, gossip is another -- that which is intended to hurt. "A double
minded man is unstable in all his ways."

I am not wanting to stir up a lot of response, but I felt compelled to address
it.

Understand your feelings, natrual for people to want to reply in a way go
give yu
 a msg, as when speaking to the president, they want to pass on a msg
when the
(only) opportunity arises.  Same deal as face time on the TODAY show.

Perhaps when yu want to be anon, log on as john doe.  When you want to
speak
as a pgmer, andreas, and as ceo of d&a, etc.  Now that I have yor
attention:
How about a password (protect) for PE?  :)

Andreas, no one wants to chase you away, or at least I don't. I just wish
that you could try to temper some of your extremely trite responses.
Sometimes you seem to distance us (the users of your products) when we =
try
to discuss them with you. An example would be Al asking for password
protection for PE. Depending on what your mood is you might respond
favorably or you might go off the deep end and tell us that he can't have
password protection because it's a dumb, stupid idea and you can't
understand why anyone would want such a feature. You probably don't mean =
to
cause any hard feelings with these kneejerk reactions, but many people,
myself included are not used to being responded to in such a manner. You =
get
mad when we compare your products sometimes. An example would be a recent
thread where someone was talking about PE/PIM vs. Agenda (I think it was
Agenda). Rather than saying that you didn't think you could achieve what =
he
was asking, you really seemed (to me at least) to go off on him in an
inappropriate manner.

I don't want to be the villan of this discussion group. I try to help =
those
that I can with the limited knowledge that I have. I'm not a software
designer; I'm just a software user. I can not count the number of times =
that
in private emails and newsgroup postings that I have referred people to =
your
company for LX software. I will continue to do so.

I will use your IRC client because I need a software solution in that =
arena
for my LX. I only wished that you and I had a better relationship because =
I
could probably give valuable input as I am a very adept IRC user. Your
original post stated that none of your beta testers knew much about IRC. =
I
have written some pretty slick IRC scripts and even fooled around with
eggdrop bots a bit. I realize because of our relationship, that I will =
not
be allowed to offer any input and that is acceptable by me, but when your
product is released please don't be offended when I speak of it in a =
frank
and candid manner here in this discussion group. Please at least take =
this
bit of advice from me. Print out the manual pages for ircII and study =
them.
A good IRC client MUST be able to do DCC file transfers, DCC chat and
provide the user with a way to alias his true identity, such as can be =
done
with mIRC. There should be a way to alias commands and the client mustt =
also
be able to handle INTEND requests from the irc network servers. I also =
ask
that you familiarize yourself with the way the various IRC networks =
operate.
The three most popular are dal.net, undernet and efnet. Each of these
networks seems to operate in slightly different ways and requires differen=
t
kinds of information from the user's client. VOICE which is available =
from
TV Dog's site on agate.net was IMHO a great DOS clone of ircII for unix =
but
was never finished and never fully supported everything. The author of it =
is
unreachable, which is a shame. Another problem is that it isn't usable on
the undernet network. I wish you luck with your client and I hope that it
performs as well as your other software.

I amy have been a bit harsh in my original 'flame mail' and maybe I =
wasn't.
I certainly got everyone's attention and received many personal emails =
that
either partially agreed with my statements or fully agreed with them. I =
will
not state the names of these people or violate the fact that they don't =
want
their comments echoed, but it does tell me that I'm not the nly one who
feels as if they are belittled for asking questions or for making
statements. We welcome your input Andreas and no one wants to see you go
away. We, the hplx-l members, are your customers and as such sometimes =
have
a hard time separating the private-Andreas from the D&A-Andreas. Maybe a
discalimer on your messages would serve as a reminder to us.

Andreas, I am going to 'bite my tongue' in the future and I will consider
this matter closed. I will, however, once again offer an apology to you =
here
in full view of everyone as I have done in the past. What you chose to do
with my offer is your option. To be honest, I'm not sure why I am
apologizing because I was never the one that was name calling but I will
offer an apology for doing whatever it was that caused the stress that =
led
to the name calling. Once again, I'm sorry and your presence here is
welcomed by me.

Hi,

is this program a dictionary or an encyclopedia? I would love to
have an encyclopedia on my hp200lx.

Is there a webpage where I could find information about the
MicroLibrary?

Does anyone know about a encyclopedia software which runs on the
hp200lx?

Definitely dictionary.  But it has lots of dictionaries, like law,
medical, biology, physics, slang, etc.

http://www.inductel.com.

The closest thing I've seen is the Writer's Toolkit, which includes the
"Dictionary of Common Knowledge," which has little mini-articles on lots
of stuff.  It goes beyond a dictionary definition, but is nowhere near a
real encyclopedia.

I think there's also a Project Gutenberg effort to get a plain-text public
domain encyclopedia done, but last time I checked they had only done one
volume.

And I sure wish they would make some progress.  Even though it doesn't say
what it is, I'm fairly certain that it is the 11th Edition of the
Encyclopedia Britanica.  Its a little dated, but for things that happened
before WW I, it is arguably the finest encyclopedia ever written.  It is
objective, scholarly, and certainly not clouded by our current "political
correctness."

Andreas,



Role strain is very common. I hope you continue to post. I
suggest you take a page
from Alan Solomon (of Dr. Solomon's Anti Virus). He was very
active in the anti virus newsgroups and mailing lists.  Some
of the steps he took include:

Boilerplate messages. Alan kept a huge number of stock
answers to old/basic and whining questions. A short
one-paragraph reply and a second paragraph directing them to
the company, phone, BBS, & website for detailed information.

Disclaimer. He had a disclaimer signature in every message.
It briefly reminded folks that he was acting as a private
individual and told them how to contact tech support for Dr.
Solomon products.

Forwarded the majority of the messages he received, from
those who ignored his disclaimer, to the tech support e-mail
and at the same time sent them a brief stock message
informing them that due to his time constraints their
message had been forwarded.

Kept a filter of certain people and automatically forwarded
their messages to a tech support person.

Kept a filter of certain people and automatically deleted
their messages.

ah so, I haven't read the docs since i first looked at the pkg a 18-24
mths ago when I was using WP5 and considered switching because
of its sysmgr compat. At that time I asked Avi about it and got a snide
remark that it wasn't a necessary feature as there was no request for it.

I guess I didn't either.

Thanks for the reply tho.

        Perhaps I'm a little late commenting here but, it seems that a
        reiteration of "official HPLX-L policy" is in order.

        - All are welcome here!

        - If you have a gripe against a company or commertial entity,
        it may be approiate to discuss here, but keep the comments
        relevent...ie the problems some have had w/ BuyComp (BTW: I still
        continue to have good luck with these folks)

        - If you have a gripe against a particular individual, Please
        take it off the HPLX-L! If you feel an individual has "locked you
        out" of his/her private mailbox, well sorry, your just SOLWOAP,
        it is not an excuse to bring your gripe here.

        - Difference of opinion is fine, just don't make it a personal
        issue on my time.

Hey Gang --

If you would like to beta test a reworked version of Charge-It! (a
battery charge control program) email me, and I'll send you a copy.  If
you've used or are using the old version, this is a major update.  This
version eliminates the need to start the program from a batch file to
set parameters.  It now creates a small config file in c:\_dat and uses
that.  It creates this the first time it's run using preset defaults,
and you can change it by hitting F2 after starting Charge-It!

This is very different from the version I recently sent Mitch.  That
one has only some cosmetic changes.

The final version will be slightly different - I'm already testing an
improved copy.  When I'm done with that I hope you'll want to try it.

Thanks in advance.

-Peniel

Andreas,

I was not on the list long enough to remember you being on the
list, and then breaking away from the list, for whatever reason.
I do recall Avi talking about why you left, and I have been on
the list long enough, to recall your return to the list.  I for
one am glad that you are able to spend the time to read and post
to the list, as an author.

I have been flamed and embarrsed here on the list many times,
over the years, by Avi, for asking a question.  It was usually
because the question I had asked, was not first searched, by me,
throughly in the help files.  Even though I have been publicly
flamed and embarrsed by Avi many times, I get over it, and have
always be able to move on with a positive attitude toward Avi,
and D&A.

I have read many postings from Avi, where he is so frustrated at
us list members, that he sometimes just looses it.  But I do
feel that after exchanging many private emails with Avi that he
really is a good person, and I try to understand that sometimes
he gets very frustrated by being asked the same questions, over
and over again, and feels that we just don't listen very well.

I, as you may know, use many of D&A's programs, WWW/LX, ABC/LX
and PE, and am very thankfull for them.  My use of my LX would
be much more limited, if it were not for these programs.  Many
times I have posted that I would financially support any future
developemnt in some of the programs from D&A.  I have even
posted replies to you in regards to this, and you have always
blew me off, and were so short & rude to me.  The one that sticks
most in my mind is in reference to PE.

I use PE to compose almost all of my emails and letters.  I once
posted how nice it would be, to be able to control the left
margin, because I wanted to be able to print nicely formatted
documents, and your response to me was so rude, in my opinion.
You wrote back that PE was not a word processor, and if I wanted
one, I should go out and buy one.

Well like I already said, I use PE almost exclusively, and it
interfaces so well with POST/LX, that I just wanted to see a few
improvements, and I even stated I would be happy to pay for it.
I wasn't asking for something for free, even though PE is
freeware.  I was, and still am, willing to pay for any
enhancements, that would help me compose better documents.

So shortly after you blew me off, telling me that PE was not a
word processor, a few weeks later you introduced the left
margin control into an upgraded PE version.  When I seen that,
I publicly thanked you, and then made the stupid mistake of
asking for something else.  I don't recall exactly what it was,
but it was something like top & bottom margin control, or a
right margin control, rather than the wrap setting, I don't
exactly remember.

Your usual reply to me, was that everybody asks for so much,
that you would punish us all, and take out the left margin
control in the next release of PE.  What a childess response
that was!  That was so uncalled for.  I mean grow up!  I was not
trying to get you to do something for free, I was willing to pay
for it, and I would guess that there might be enough other PE
users out there, that depend of PE, that might also be willing
to pay for an upgraded version.

 You have treated not only me, but many other list members like
 crap, and I don't feel they deserved it either!  One minute you
 ask for the list memembers time, to try out a product that you
 are developing, and then the next minute your cutting them down,
 because you are so quick with the slams.

 Just like Jeff, I too want to make sure that it is clear that my
 heart and my intentions of this posting does not get mis-read.
 I am thankfull for the information conveyed in the many posts
 from you and Avi, as individuals, and as reps of D&A.  I also
 hear the frustration when it seems that we list memebers ask the
 same stupid questions over, and over again.  But one of my
 favorite quotes that I tell me kids over and over again is: "No
 man really becomes a fool until he stops asking questions".

 Andreas, I will continue to read and post to this list, even
 though I know I may get flamed, or put down by Avi & you, but I
 also know that your two talents have developed products that I
 use every day, and would not want to be without.  I also hope
 that whatever road the future holds, as to the device that will
 be the replacement for the LX, that D&A is able continue to
 develop products that will enhance that device's capibility, and
 that I am able to continue to purchase, and use their products.

 I have a few things that I wish PE could do better, but I don't
 dare bring them up, for I know I would be setting myself up for
 you to jump on me all over again.  I have even receintly
 download WORD 5.5, and tried it.  It has some wondersful things
 in it, that would help me create a more intellegent looking
 document, but it also does not save in ASCII format by default,
 so I have since scrapped it, and went back to using PE.

 I don't need all the fancy bells and whistles of a high powered
 word processor, I just need the basics, such as format control,
 and a good spell checker and thesaurus.  So I continue to use
 PE, as it is, and have my Franklin Electronic Dictionary and
 Thesaurus sitting next to my LX, while composing documents.
 Seems crazy that I have to have two electronic devices, just to
 be able to compose a document, but that is how I do.

 I would like to see you to continue to post here on the list.  I
 would also like to see you and Avi, to be a little (or a lot)
 more patient with us list members, when we post a question, that
 seems so stupid in your minds, or not properly researched,
 because we are not the brillant super users that you two are.

 I think that if you two could just sometimes find a way to
 either lighten up your quick and sharp replies, or do like my
 mother always told me, that if you don't have anything good to
 say, say nothing at all, in those instances where you just could
 ring our necks, or however you two feel, when you are so fed up
 with our stupid questions.

 Just my two cents worth, and I have put up my asbostoes
 flameproof shields, prepared for the flames from yours and Avi's
 replies.  On a closing note, keep up the great work on the
 wonderful products you guys, and thank you for all your time and
 expertise in reading and posting to this list.

 Best Regards, Robert Hocking

From what I have heard, the screen of the 100/200LX is the
most expensive part.  The only source other than HP itself
(at $200+) is Thaddeus at $125-175 depending on used or new.
I think Thaddeus' ability to get screens is also limited.

Speaking of screens, etc.  Does anyone know what type of LCD screen and
connector is used on the 200LX?

I'm toying with the idea of ripping out the internals of the 200lx
(preserving the keyboard and screen) - and installing either a Jumptec 486
DIMM-PC or a CellComputing "commodity" micromotherboard.
        www.jumptec.com/dimmpcf.html
        www.cellcomputing.com

Heck - we should all get together and design the "200LX followon" since HP
is doing such a lousy job with WinCE.

No need to overreact. You are the way you are - they are the way they are. I
think after some time reading and exchanging posts with the palmtop family
everybody knows a bit about everybody else, his likes, dislikes, tempers etc.

A frequent starting point of conflict in communication is the senders
unawareness of how his message might be interpreted at the recieving end - it
also depends on how the antenna's are tuned 8-) So please patience and peace.
Everybody is constantly sending and recieving and prone to unbiased antenna's.

I don't think that anybody in the palmtop family wants to be rude on purpose.
Although my English is probably better than most of the German of the
palmtoppers on this list - everybody should be aware that my wording is not
comparable to an English poet. Therefore patience with contributions of non
native English posters.

This is exactly what is expected. "Command" starts a DOS command shell.
Now you can type HV to start HV or POST to start POST/LX etc. when you
type EXIT, you exit the command shell again and return to WWW/LX, which
then exits too.

I am not sure I understand. Above, you speak about a modem, now about a
direct connection. Is this the same topic?

Or do you establish a direct PPP connection between you palmtop and
your PC using a serial line (which seems to work) and the desktop is
supposed to establish a connection to the Internet through a modem
(which does not work?)? Somebody else needs to help with the Windhose
part as I don't know anything about that.

I understand the difficulty in playing a double role.  It takes a lot of
effort to keep those roles separate, of which we are very grateful.
Please don't leave the list. :-)

A humble personal observation is that reactions of that "independent
poster" persona have sometimes been colored with influence from the other
role in the form of defensive responses.

A separate "independent poster" persona should strive to interpret
criticism, comparisons or "outrageous" suggestions as valuable feedback
filled with opportunity... and not as attacks against "his/her company or
it's software".

Again, please don't leave the list.  Your contributions as an
"independent poster" are also highly valued and very much appreciated.

Cheers!

It will be interesting to see what the total cost will be once you
dispose of/fix up your 1 MB 200LX. I suspect you will find the
Thaddeus option would have been close, that is, unless you
got the 1 MB 200LX for less than $150.

Just a different perspective, but I tend to send things out to
be fixed right away, and if the item is valuable *and* discontinued,
then get a spare... ;)

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

Hello all,
    I just wanted to pass on this pointer for a low-cost power supply
and NiCad batteries for the LX.

    The power supply is a bit large, but has very long cords - about
a 5 foot power cord and a similar cord to the LX (there is a power
brick in the middle), but (and here is the kicker) it has the correct
plug on the end, wired properly for the LX! It puts out 12v, 1 amp
*regulated* and cost me $10 (+ S/H) from TechAmerica (now
www.radioshack.com ?), part number 900-2736. I got 2 for each
of my LXs!

    I also found a four-pack of AA NiCad batteries (Sanyo) at the
same place for $5 (I think, I can't find my receipt) but the four-pack
came with a small battery charger for free, a very small unit that
is only a bit bigger than the 4 AA batteries it can charge in one
hour. The power plug prongs fold into the unit, so it takes up very
little space when traveling. The part number for the batteries is
960-157, the GE-Sanyo part number is GES-NC4AA (I have no
idea about their capacity). I bought a four pack (with free charger)
for each LX, so I have two sets of batteries and charger for just
a few dollars!

    Needless to say, I am very happy with my purchases, and I
wanted to pass on my finds...

    I have no connection to TechAmerica/Radio Shack except as
a customer,

documents, and your response to me was so rude, in my opinion.
You wrote back that PE was not a word processor, and if I wanted
one, I should go out and buy one. <<

I'm a little new on this list so I don't really know what's been going on.
But I've been on HPHAND on Compuserve for many years and I've never seen
anything from either Avi or Andreas that I would consider rude.  Maybe
things have changed.  But what I see above doesn't indicate that it has.

To a programmer, a text editor and a word processor are not the same thing
and the easiest way to hurt either one of them is to give it the features of
the other.  They are two different animals.

It seems to me that Avi was simply saying that, probably in a humorous way.
Unless there was more to it than you stated.

Most non-programmers see text editors as being similar to word processors,
and of course they do have a lot in common.  But they're geared toward an
entirely different purpose.  Programmers want to be able to do simple
repetitive formatting with as few keypresses and as little thought as
possible so as not to lose track of the complex logic problems they're
working on.  Text editors require as little thought as possible.  The
formatting is simple and the means to it are known by the programmer's
fingers.

Word processor users don't care as much about a few extra keypresses.  They
want easy access to complex formatting capabilities.  That requires thought
and attention from the user.

Maybe Avi should have taken the time to say something like that, but to a
programmer it's so very obvious that it's hard to realize that someone
doesn't see the difference.  It's sometimes hard to stop thinking like a
programmer.

Also there's the fact that to a lot of programmers, their text editor is an
object of adoration.  On programming newsgroups there used to be long,
tedious religious wars over which text editor was best.  These still occur
but by now most programmers have accepted the fact that users of other
editors simply have a few parts missing and just can't help it.

My favorite editor over the years has been qedit (now tse) and, being a
patient person, I don't express my feelings about the idiots that prefer
emacs.  They can't help being what they are and there's no point in hurting
their feelings.  They didn't choose to be born that way.

But, if one were to suggest adding new fonts to qedit, I'd probably start
being in favor of the death penalty.

<<And the status is???  I hope I haven't missed an update here in the
past couple weeks.  I'm itching to get my unit upgraded...>>

We still aren't quite ready for beta testing.

I'd be curious of people's responses to one of my concerns. Part of the
upgrade involves replacing the reflective layer.  The end result is that in
non-backlighting conditions, the screen looks a little different and has
slightly different characteristics. "Objectively", I think it is definitely
an improvement. It (with backlight off) is more readable in bright sunlight
and in dimmer conditions than the normal screen.

However, it may take some people a little while getting used to the
difference. The first half hour, I didn't like it much. It seemed to have
almost a tinny look. After that, I ended up liking the new screen better --
so much so that I didn't want to go back to the older screen when it was
time to give up my prototype.  In other words it took a little while to get
used to the difference.

I am VERY concerned about the potential number of returns. Even 1 in 5 would
be a lot for us to process and create a great strain in our operation.  The
suggestions to prevent this are

1) Be clear about differences in marketing literature and end user
documentation
2) Post a picture of the screen on the web and in our literature

Number 2 in my mind may cause as many problems as it solves as of course
using a unit is quite different than seeing an image of it -- even if the
image were a reasonable representation which I have my doubts.

I am open for people's ideas --  we want to be fair to the customer and at
the same time create a profitable operation backlighting screens.

When compressed, it takes abt. 3.2 MB. You have to decompress it first
(then you have abt. 6.5 MB (you can do that on your desktop machine),
then copy abt. 5 MB of that onto your palmtop.
The rest are files needed for configuration, you need a few of them for
your custom configuration. (Sorry - a little bit too long to explain it
here. I wrote all about it in the readme file).
When you have LaTeX running on your palmtop it needs about 5 MB. I'd
rather keep at least 6 MB, 'cause Metafont has to gererate fonts for
viewing and printing (each font a few kB) and you have to store your
Text-Files sonewhere ;-)

So, who is now responsible for the SUPER archive since Mitch isn't
anymore?

No!
I don't think they do it with that intention.

I've also made strange experiences with exchanging emails with Avi, but
It really seems to me that it's not Avi's intention to let someone look
silly or something.
It's just his character that is a little bit irascible (I really don't
know if this was the real word - I looked it up in my dictionary and
it shall mean 'aufbrausend' - to react more angry than necessary) and
sensitive.

But after we exchanged some more emails clearing some misunderstanding,
all was okay again.
Right, Avi? :-)

With Andreas I've had only friendly email contacs, so I cannot share
the opinions of some of you.

Of course just my opinion here. ;-)

Your opinion is good enough for me Hal. You could market it as
"irreversible" I guess. You don't get folk with the 32MB upgrade sendng
units back for a downgrade/refund do you?? I hope not!!

But yes pictures on the web etc would go a long way to help folk
decide.

Okay, these are all just off-the-cuff comments, MY opinions, not intended
as fact/gospel/edicts, etc.  I'm just going to "spit 'em out" to minimize
the message size (which will be big anyway).

If it's easier to read both in bright and dim light, I doubt too many will
complain about a different "look."  Especially when you add the backlight
aspect to the equation.  But I also think your concern is warranted.

>1) Be clear about differences in marketing literature and end user

Be clear.  Be very clear.  8)  This is vitally important.  Say it several
times, in several different ways, in several different places.  Tell them
it's irreversible; they buy it, it's theirs.  Make people really *think*
about whether they want to take the risk.

Initially, this might reduce your sales, as you may "scare away" those who
would have bought otherwise.  But get some out in the field where people
can see for themselves, and I expect those "would-haves" will come right
back and buy.

Even so, you're not going to eliminate all complaints.  (I just sold a TR4
tape on eBay -- a TAPE; the ad clearly said "TR4 cartridge" and "compatible
with all TR4 drives" -- and the winning bidder thought he was buying a tape
DRIVE.  Some people Just Don't Read.)  You're going to get some returns no
matter what you do, I'd expect.  You may have to accept that as part of the
bargain.  But remember, that gives you a machine you can refurbish and then
sell as a backlit machine to people who don't want to send you their only
machine.  (And, see below.)

Very true.  About the best you can do is use a number of shots at different
angles and illuminations and, again, stress that the thing looks
*different*, it may take some getting used to, and that some simply won't
like it.

>I am open for people's ideas --  we want to be fair to the customer and at
>the same time create a profitable operation backlighting screens.

Well, you could build up a couple of backlit refurbs in the most common
memory/speed configurations.  People interested but not sure could then buy
a backlit refurb.  If they hate it, they ship it back, minus "X" dollars
for shipping and your trouble.  They get to try one for minimal financial
investment, and you get your machine back to sell to someone else.  If they
like it, though, they have three or four options:

* Keep the refurb machine; deal done.  This is good for first-time owners
that have no other machine, or for people like me who are paranoid and want
backup units.

* Keep the refurb machine and send their machine back, for which you credit
most of the difference in
price between an upgrade and the refurb (minus shipping/handling etc.)  You
then have another machine to refurb and backlight for the next person.

* Keep the refurb machine and send their machine in for backlighting too,
in which case you get two sales where you might only have gotten one.

* Maybe even: Send their machine in for backlighting and return yours at
the same time.  This route is sort of like a "loaner" plan.

There are a number of variations on this, but the main idea is to give
people a chance to see what they're getting first (ala #2).

Suggestion: Get some machines out there in the field however you can.
Arrange loaners for some of the user's groups (One of the better-known LX
user's groups is right here in Richmond, Virginia.  (And no, that's not a
bid to get a machine; I'm aware of their existence but I'm not a member.))
Do what it takes to upgrade the most vocal, public, LX-positive people on
this list and elsewhere.  ANYTHING that improves the chances that John Doe
can see a machine first-hand before plunking down his money, reduces the
chances you'll have to refund.

Hope these thoughts help in some way.

I am looking into that right now, though I fear it is a very difficult

To this I may add

3)Have the beta testers and early purchasers post their early reactions
to the new screen in a variety of lighting conditions,
and comparing it to the standard model.  This could be posted on
palmtop.net or hplx.net.

4)Have preannounced meetings at convenient dates in a variety of
locations around the US (and a few around the world where possible), to
show the new palmtop screen.   Talk about motivation for local user group
meetings!  "Meet Hal and the psychedelic palmtop screen, live at . . ."

My 0.02

Could you elaborate more on the "tinny look" thing?

I tried it once, but found it too difficult to understand.   If an
initial investment of time would guarantee me ease of use later on, I
would try it again.  I tried it when I was a college student, and
searched the literature on the net, but found no assurance of eventual
ease of use, or of automating most tasks.  Now that I am a full time
teacher, I find it difficult to justify investing a lot of time on a
continual basis on the program, when all I want is to be able to print
high quality output from the palmtop on an occasional basis.  Yes I know
I can do it on the desktop too, but Win Word & Excell have made me a bit
lazy.  8=)

There is a related program I find impressive called mutex, or musictex
(the output, that is, not the program), so I understand what you are
saying.

Does using it feel like word processing or like programming?  That's the
catch, I think.

I am interested.  Would you be able to break it down in 1 meg emails?
That would make it less likely that I would lose the email.   Also, does
your German configuration work for printing in English or other European
languages?

I have not seen the unit but there is labor and changes involved.  Make
sure folks know the issues you just presented.  And make it clear, that
any photo or web-image is only an approximation of the ultimate
appearance.

Care to come to Seattle and demo one? (G)

I'd suggest no refund unless the unit is defective - or perhaps a
trade-in for another unit without backlighting but at some cost.

I'm using the line below as part of a batch file to backup to a flash =

What do I need to add to it to keep pkzip from backing up a particular
directory? Here is the line:

pkzip -es -rP -whs -Jhrs -xtremm.swp a:\cdrive.zip c:\*.*

Is it as simple as adding c:\directoryname after where iremm.swp is =
listed?

Hal, the first LX I got was a new 200LX 4 meg unit, and the
second one I got was a used 200 LX 1 meg unit.  I used the 4 meg
unit for quite a while, before getting the used 1 meg unit.  When
I got the used 1 meg unit, I noticed that the screens were
different.  The 1 meg unit's screen has a greenish hue, and the 4
meg unit has a tanish hue.  I personally feel the greenish hue
screen is easier to read, and that is the unit I sent to your
company to get upgraded.  I know that there are differences
between different LX's, only because I had two different ones to
compair.  I would more than welcome another different looking
screen to be able to have a backlight.  Also if it is easier to
read outside while in the sunlight, that would suit me fine,
spending as much time pool side as I can.  Another question I had
was how many fingers did they break before they were able to pry
that prototype out of your hands? :-)

My response is I'm up for a new machine, 64 or perhaps 96 meg and
backlighting is what I am waiting for.  If it works, it's a done deal.  If
an improved version surfaces later, the older version will become a back up,
just as my beta 32 meg machine will serve as a back up to my first LX with a
backlight.  LET THERE BE LIGHT!!!

Hal,
If it were up to me, I would propose something like the following:

    If you send me your unit to be upgraded, I will do so for $XXX.XX.

    If you decide to return the unit, there will be an $YY.YY fee for the
    return, and you will not get back your original display, you will get
    one from another machine.

    Then, for $ZZ.ZZ (which is $XXX.XX - $YY.YY=$ZZ.ZZ) we will swap
    your standard display for a previously backlit-enhanced unit. This will
    keep you from having to un-do upgrades, instead you will swap display
    assemblys.

I would also *require* that people sign a form stating the above, written in
very clear language.

That's the way I would handle it, but maybe that is why I am not a
successful
businessman (I am instead a wage-slave, but I do alright ;)...

HTH,

Ken

As an aside, I would have thought thet LaTeX would overwhelm
an LX-class machine. I was considering doing an 8 Meg/DS
upgrade to my 200LX at the end of the year, would that be a
suitable machine for LaTeX, or would more RAM be a near
neccessity?

I have no exp. with LaTeX, and have only been working with my
LX for a short while... I'm trying to decide how much upgrade I
should go for - once you get above 8 Meg/DS, it seems to get
quite pricey (IMHO)...

I use NAT32 (www.nat32.com) under Windows and IPMASQ
(built-in) under Linux to do this.  It works very well.

Hi Hal.

I'll echo another poster's sentiment and question.  Can you quantify
"tinny".

You mentioned that the screen is more readable...put yourself in the role
of devil's advocate and think of where "tinny" will fail you for some
reason, compared to the native screen.  This would be a reason for a
return.

Another possible test, use LXSTAT to turn the contrast down to the lowest
setting that is still viewable and then do the same for a regular unit...
how do the LXSTAT numbers compare?

A website image would be useful, tho I agree that images will vary from
user to user.  Try running LXSTAT to get the same constrast setting on two
machines (plain and modified) and show the resulting screens side by side.

Lastly, what about power usage.  The best screen in the world won't sell
the upgrade if you lose a lot of battery life.  Having an automatic
timeout feature (software controllable) would be a nice plus.

Jeff, I know one of the pkzip options is -x@ which lets you designate a
file containing a list of filenames to bypass.  I think your only solution
is to somehow build a list of files in that directory and pass that list to
pkzip via -x@.

If there's a more elegant solution I'd like to hear it too.

What is a null modem "driver"? Just a null modem cable or do you speak

So you try to establish a (non-dial-up) PPP connection between the
desktop and the palmtop, right? Are you sure you have configured the
desktop as the PPP server?

I am using the german and english version. Many of your question may be

   Recycled Software <recycledsw@aol.com>

I bought some WP software there and got excellent service, when I
phoned or emailed.

WP software is a good recommendation.

Have fun and take the time to familiarize with it, it is worthwhile.

I've successfully managed to download a QWK-reader to the 200LX so that I can
download and read my QWK packets.  For some reason, I had no success with
Silly Little Mail Reader (SLMR), but I was able to successfully use a
freeware QWK-reader
called MikeMayl.  I want to go ahead and upload it to Palmtop.Net so that
other users can have access to this program as well.  How does one go about
doing that?

Thank you for all the feedback!  A couple of comments. First, although it is
in my nature to want to share (and I think it is helpful business wise), I
have to be careful. Remember, until we are well along in beta testing,
anything I might say about the prototype is subject to change. In fact I am
going to get a new protoype which solves some of the concerns which I didn't
bring up here that uses a different film.  So, whatever "tinny" means (I am
not sure how to explain that anyway) may now no longer relevant.  Also,
there is still a chance, we will never bring the product to market.

I am as anxious as anyone to have a backlit 200LX and bring the product to
market.  However, if I talk about it here, please don't hold on to anything
I say about characteristics or problems or strengths. We are still at the
prototype stage and things are still changing and improving.

As an example of such a statement that states where we are at now, but might
not be the case in the final product: If a person has backlighting on 1/4
the time he will degrade battery performance less than 10%.

As to return policy, your feedback is helpful.  I would really prefer to
stay with our 30 day return, no questions asked, no restocking fee policy.
I think when a company says that, it is stating we stand behind our product,
we believe in it, and our success depends on whether you are satisfied.
However, the particular subjective nature of this backlighting product, and
the expense of processing returns, may make us consider a restocking fee.

We will be trying to solicit a representative sample of opinions during beta
testing once we feel good about the product.

This is almost exactly what I want too do also. I will have a isdn
connection to the internet soon. I want to share this
internetconnection with my other computers. I can do this with Win98
SE. It would be nice to get www/lx/hp connected via the com port to
access mail/news when I am online with the desktop.

I also could connect my laptop with my desktop in a network and run
www/lx from the pcmcia slot. I guess this setup would be quicker since
the hp has a slower processor then my pentium laptop..

I will look at the links you provided in the orginal message. If one of
these solutions can work for me I would be very satisfied..

If you could provide me with any info on what to do to get as far as

download the things you pointed out in the orginal message.. Then the
"fiddling" with hp/www lx/win98 can begin ;-)

I feel tempted to say RTFM, but I'm far too nice a guy to do a thing like
that ;-)

However, I did look in the manual, and it appears that pkzip does wildcard
expansion on the arguments given to the -x command (and in filelists too),
so there would be no need give it a complete list of all files in the
directory.

This means that using '-xc:\dontzip\*.*' would exclude all the files in
the directory (but not the directory itself, I'd imagine). In fact, you
might even get away with simply using '-xc:\dontzip\' to exclude the
complete directory.

(this was the manual for PKZIP v2.50, BTW., and not the older 2.04g.
PKWare don't have the older version on their home page any more it
appears, but they claim 2.50 it is backwards compatible with 2.04)


Jeff, why not try it out and let the list know how it goes?


Cheers,

Laust

Nah, I considered that, I was just being lazy :) besides, I don't flame =
for
the first couple of offenses <g>.

What I did was create a file list and named it list.txt and use the
following line to backup:

pkzip -es -rP -whs -Jhrs -x@c:\stereo\list.txt a:\cdrive.zip c:\*.*

By using the file list, I can add other file names as needed or remove =
them
as needed. I have the older version of PKZip that didn't have a manual, =
but
after Longden's post I ran pkzip.exe without any arguments to get the =

PKZip,
it's quite powerful compression software. Thanks for the responses. See, =

Theoretically, both the BJC 80 and the BJC 50 should work with the LXs since
both have the capability to emulate the Epson LQ-2550 and the IBM Proprinter
x24e, as well as the Canon BJ-10e. Check your manual to see if the printer
will automatically switch modes or if you have to push some buttons to make
it. If you're printing from the built-in apps, your best bet is to use Setup
to make the system printer the IBM Proprinter. You may have to try various
combinations of drivers and emulations untill you find one that works.

Also, you'll need to get the IR-port driver from S.U.P.E.R. in order to enable
your IR port to send data to the BJC. Take your pick from the following at
http//www.palmtop.net/cgi-bin/sup-srch.pl?case=i&method=words&boolean=or&sort=
alpha&search_phrase=infrared

Good luck :)

The main advantage to my approach is that it's a graceful and appropriate
solution for those of us fortunate enough to never run or interact with
Microsoft Windows of any sort whatsoever at all.

considerably less, then I picked up a stock 4mb unit to be my backup.
took me about 10 minutes to dissasemble and reassemble everything and
make sure it was working, So the cost of my time was negligable.

If you're not comfortable taking apart your LX, I wouldn't recommend
it.  As noted in the guide on hplx.net, it can get tricky.  You
might find yourself sending thaddeus an LX "kit" to put back together

I agree 100%, but my situation at the time wouldn't allow that, and
at the moment my situation is in worse shape.

FWIW- I do plan on sending in the broken-screened LX to thaddeus at
some point in time, but I really want to get it upgraded at the same
time.  Save on shipping et al.  But that's just not viable in the
near future.

as an aside I forgot to mention, I've not yet heard of people with
broken LXs that have good screens and busted boards.. I'm sure they're
out there but seem (to me at least) more uncommon than busted screens
and good boards.  If anyone at thaddeus can comment on that, I'd be

The problem then becomes, should you find an LX for less than the cost
of getting it repaired you'll still have a broken LX which you'd want
fixed and the cycle starts again.

So eventually you still need to get it repaired anyway, though if
you wait a while you may have a rather extensive collection of LXs.

I was also going to recommend this.  It'd probly be easier to go
widespread once beta testing is in place, because then more people
would have units to show around.

Basically, broken units come in three varieties -- bad boards, bad screens,
bad cases.  In the past couple of years since we have been doing repairs,
upgrades, and sold new and used unit we have processed (warranted) over 4000
units!!  Somehow, we've been lucky and always have seemed to have the
screens and boards to squeak by, although sometimes a customer might have
had to wait a week or two for a repair.

Right now there is a waiting list to buy used palmtops from us.  That ebbs
and flows as we usually have been able to make big buys.  Right now we are
negotiating for a huge number of units that will become available next year
-- let's hope. The worst we've been backed up was about 5 or 6 weeks.  We
almost always have enough used units in stock to process 32 meg and 64 meg
units within a few days.

I am going beyond the question, but I thought people might be interested.

Did you know pkzip 2.50 is available to download for free?  It
also comes with a manual <g>.  It has been a lot of years since
they updated the DOS version.  It has one little enhancement I
thought interesting enough, to warrant upgrading to it.  They
added a extreme pack switch.  They claim it packs a little
tighter than extra pack switch in v 2.04g.  FYI.

Also if you want a copy of it, I could email to you.

Jeff,
Try adding another "-x" parm like:  -xc:\dir\*.*

Another method would be first turn on all archive bits using attrib then
turn them off in that one directory.  Follow up by zipping all file with
the archive bit set and have zip turn them off as each file is picked up.

I'm not sure if this makes sense in this context but I have an old 1 meg
200lx that i've replaced because with my poor eyesight I just can't see the
screen well enough.  It's just not contrasty enough.  I have found a sort of
use for it but not a very important one.  I now use a 2 meg 200lx with a
much brighter screen.

I'd love to have this thing improved somehow.  So, if you want to experiment
and will at least assure me I'll end up with something that still works,
I'll be happy to pay the price for the backlit screen (assuming it's not too
much) and promise not to return it even if I don't like it.  And if I do
like it, I'll say so a lot.  :)

Subject: Re: Backlight Project Status?

<<And the status is???  I hope I haven't missed an update here in the
past couple weeks.  I'm itching to get my unit upgraded...>>

We still aren't quite ready for beta testing.

I'd be curious of people's responses to one of my concerns. Part of the
upgrade involves replacing the reflective layer.  The end result is that in
non-backlighting conditions, the screen looks a little different and has
slightly different characteristics. "Objectively", I think it is definitely
an improvement. It (with backlight off) is more readable in bright sunlight
and in dimmer conditions than the normal screen.

However, it may take some people a little while getting used to the
difference. The first half hour, I didn't like it much. It seemed to have
almost a tinny look. After that, I ended up liking the new screen better --
so much so that I didn't want to go back to the older screen when it was
time to give up my prototype.  In other words it took a little while to get
used to the difference.

I am VERY concerned about the potential number of returns. Even 1 in 5 would
be a lot for us to process and create a great strain in our operation.  The
suggestions to prevent this are

1) Be clear about differences in marketing literature and end user
documentation
2) Post a picture of the screen on the web and in our literature

Number 2 in my mind may cause as many problems as it solves as of course
using a unit is quite different than seeing an image of it -- even if the
image were a reasonable representation which I have my doubts.

I am open for people's ideas --  we want to be fair to the customer and at
the same time create a profitable operation backlighting screens.<<<<

All that work that you have to go through to save all of the
HTML files to 8.3 file names and then edit the HTML files to
replace the long file names with 8.3 file names, etc, is the
exact same stuff HV would have to do also. HV just does not do
anything like that.

It will ship those long file names as-is from the HTML source
off to the web server to fetch them, but it has no provisions
inside of itself to convert those long file names to anything
useful on the DOS operating system of the palmtop.

Someone else recommended a Windows-based program to do this
kind of work for you.  This just goes to show how much work an
operation like you are asking about requires.  I just don't
think it is practical on the palmtop.

The EXP driver is cranky and does not like other flashcards in
the slot while it is loaded. There is nothing you can do about
that.

You can set up a system where you reboot when changing
flashcards and the EXP driver will load if booting with that
card in the slot and won't load when the Sandisk card is in the
slot.

During boot, the palmtop looks for CONFIG.SYS in A drive first.
If it finds one there, it loads it and then looks for
AUTOEXEC.BAT in the same spot. If the palmtop does not find a
CONFIG.SYS on A:, it looks on C: next. Etc.

So, if you have a CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT on the C: and A:
(Sandisk) drives that are the same, except that the one on the
Sandisk card does not have the EXP driver, the you have two
slightly different boot configurations.

When you boot with the Sandisk in there, the A:\CONFIG.SYS will
be used and no EXP driver will load. If you boot with the EXP
card in the slot, there will not be any A:\CONFIG.SYS so it
will use the one on C: and the EXP driver will load.

I'd like to get my hands on these too. I missed the orginal post (I've just

Outlook 2000 has a much stronger VBA interface than previous versions and

Subject: Re: Synchronisation with MS Outlook


Greetings,

  I emailed Ehsan for info on his macros for sync'ing the 200LX to
Outlook but no response.  Does anyone either have a good email address
for him (I merely received no response - no bounces yet) or his
macros??  I want to move forward with this project so I can get some
real work done.

tnx much,
john

Hi Folks, I need advice:

I would like to change the way I paticipate here. I login
about 3-10 times per day. Each time I login, I get a bunch of
email from the list. Ultimately, the stream of email is a lot
and I need to somehow streamline the flow.

My idea is this: Get the list email at a box I use only once a
day or once every two days. That will cust the overhead of the
list a bit, and "bunch" the arrivals better.

I understand that I can setup the current email address to
receive no email, and that seems to do the trick for me. How
do I do this?

Also, How do I make sure that I get no list email on this id?

Appreciate any advice extended.

Avi M.

Thank you very much for all the feedback you gave me in the "double
role" thread!

There were enough positive responses so that I decided to keep on
posting here. There will be some changes though. They will mostly
concern the number of messages I will post. So if you ask a question
and don't get a reply, it may be because I don't have enough time to
put it into nice words to make sure I certainly won't offend
anybody - or simply because I did not feel like replying. I will, for
example, not reply to certain people and nor to people requesting any
features (unless I am very much interested).

Why not just set this account to NOMAIL and read the list from hplx.net?
Some folks prefer to participate in that manner. Just a thought.

I'm in the same quandary. 8 Megs isn't enough for me but 32 is too big and too
expensive. Are there any plans to add a 16MB upgrade to fit this middle

I do not know about the Silicom but I do know that the

card works with both single and double speed systems.
I use the new LXCIC and LN2216 drivers. If the Silicom
is a NE2000 clone then try these drives (On SUPER) with it.

I know what you mean! If you're not familiar with LaTeX and don't have
time or patience or simply the will to learn it, you'll never be happy
with it.
LaTeX is not easy to use. There are some programs that automate things
in LaTeX this way that you can enter your text into a window, press a
"bold" button to make the marked text bold, press an 'italics" button
to make the marked text italic.... but that's not the sense of LaTeX --
this _is_not_ LaTeX, but it is a clumsy attempt to make LaTeX 'usable
for everyone'. (Sorry, I don't really want to compare you with
'everyone' and I also don't want to say that 'everyone' is too dumb to
use LaTeX ;-) )

You're right. Writing in LaTeX is more like programming that like word
provessing: You enter a source code into a text editor, you compile
this source code and get a DVI-file (DeVice Independant). Then you need
drivers with fonts to either make this DVI-file readable on your
display or to send it to your printer. It's not WYSIWYG.

Ah, good to hear that the package arrived fine. Enjoy your new

I do exactly this - backup to a 40MB card using PKZIP so that everything
fits on the card. From time to time I backup the card to my OmniBook
800, holding several generations there so that I can roll back if I
should ever need to.

Subject:      Re: PIM/PE and Agenda
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hello all! Status report from my PIM Quest:
As some of you may remember, I am on a quest for a good and preferably
structured approach to Personal Information Management.
I got hold of Agenda, and have been using it for a month. WITHOUT including
minutes from meetings or budget files etc, and using the relatively simple
PLANNER app supplied with Agenda, the following points emerge:

1) Agenda is SLOOOW. It takes 20 seconds to sort a daily view, I have to
wait that long each time I start up Agenda. My data file is now over 200k.

2) When people ask me, "When can we meet?" It takes me too long to answer.
I have no easy way to view my free time, and even if I created a "free time
filter" it would take too long to display.

3) I have had 2 data crashes, - I believe this is because of errors in file
copying, or my files may have become corrupted when using a task switcher.

4) Agenda on the desktop is not aware of my mouse.

So, heeding Andreas' advice I downloaded PIM/PE - full willing to pay him a
handsome "finders fee" if it worked for me. My suffering in the hands of
PIM/PE is described below:

1) No instructions. I have installed it on my palmtop - all files in one
directory, A:\PIM. (D:\PIM on my desktop using PALRUN).
On the desktop running "palrun -r pe" all I get is a blank, white screen.
Pressing <F1> to bring up HELP, PE thinks I asked it to create a file
"pe.hlp", thus giving me a blank screen to stare at... And "Yes" I have
read the instructions in the zip archive, and "Yes", I have modified pe.cfg
and pim.cfg to use the correct paths "d:\pim".  Wasted appx two working
days in trying to get it operational. Still isn't.

2) No description of what the PIM program is actually supposed to do.
Andreas describes how HE uses it for some tasks, but supplies the software
without his macros and utility files that would allow me to follow in his
footsteps. The PIM screen does not display my PE file. S/W complains about
missing time-stamp. No mention of timestamp in PE.DOC. (Mentioned in PIM
doc's but following the procedure still does not satisfy PIM that file is
correctly timestamped...) Appointments entered with same start date
seemingly non-browsable in PIM. Etc, etc etc...

3) No explanation of all configuration parameters and options in the
docu's.

4) PIM uses LOTS of codes to be inserted in the PIM file, but where are the
menu items/macros that insert them?

Suggestions:
1) Someone on the list that actually uses PIM/PE for something useful,
writes a short succinct "users manual" that starts with what the software
does, and how to make it do it. Preferably not Andreas, as he is busy doing
other usefull stuff.

2) Andreas includes his file structure and utilities (palrun, grep, macros
etc) in the zip file.

3) Someone (I might) writes an explicit installation and "Getting started"
manual.

Purpose:
I sense from comments on this list and from Andreas' brief descriptions
that this s/w combo might be a really useful addition to the Palmtop
addressing some of the shortcomings of the built-in applications.

This is, however, complex software that has a learning curve more like the
north face of the Eiger. You need some serious hand-holding to make it to
the top without bruises.

Since it stores data in pure ASCII files, it makes it easy to interface
PIM/PE to other utilities. I also like the "journal metaphor" to organising
my life. Being ASCII-based it interfaces easily to other add-ons and its
use of categories allow you to structure your tasks. It also seems to run
pretty quick on a palmtop. So I'm motivated to soldier on into Andreas' way
of thinking, but I would like it to be an easier path and invite previous
explorers to share their travel diaries with the LX community...

Regards,

Paul Rasmussen

Bad news, that didn't work. The phone still displays dialling the number

After reading about the Diconix printer in the CD Infobase, I bought one
from ebay for $25 plus shipping. I haven't received it yet, so I can't say
that it actually works, but I thought I'd mention it now because the
seller has two more on dutch auction, still at $25, and I won't receive
mine before the end of the auction. These are supposed to be the serial
version which works with the palmtop. Most on ebay are the parallel
version.

No connection to the seller, and hopefully a satisfied buyer.

Hi all,

Was hunting for the file that had all the Covey "7 Habits" in .GDB, etc.  I
hunted on SUPER but only found the Topcards. I remember someone at Palmtop
Paper had put together a text-based article, .GDB files, and maybe some
other stuff about how to turn the palmtop into a 7-Habits-based organizer.
Is it still out there?

Is it still possible?

Still after all these years looking for the best way to organize my time,
etc. and easily keep track of it.....

TIA,

PS. as an aside: the values folks suggested I use for my ABC/LX have helped

It's not published, but it's been reverse-engineered.

Look for Andreas Garzotto's "lxtools" package.  I even wrote
an automated incremental backup program based on it.

I think this is a better explanation than my long-winded

Except I'm not the one waiting - I don't even own a mobile

D&A Software have a good market differentiator in the IR

Hello folks.

I picked up a free Image Writer II apple printer, and was wondering if
this printer might work with the palmtop,and if so, how?  (I hope this is
not a dumb question).

TIA

LaTeX 2e runs not too fast on the LX, that's a fact.
It depends on what size of documents you're used to write: The bigger
your document the more time you have to wait (during compilation of the
source code).
The inputting of the source code is fast - there you use a normal text
editor - for example PE.
Then you have to compile it - that takes time. On my Double Speed LX it
takes about 5 sec per page plus about 30 seconds per document (loading
of the macro files and packages), so you have to wait about 1 minute
for the compilation process if your document has 6 pages.
On an single speeed LX it takes (as far as my experiences show) _more_
than twice as much time!
After you compiled the source code, you can display the compiled file
or print it. For that you need fonts.Every font you want to use has to
be generated. Once a font is generated, it don't has to be genereated
once more. The generation of one font takes about 5 minutes (DS).

There are font library files, that contain often used fonts, you can
install such a file, if you have enough room on your disk (abt.
500-1000 kB), then only sometimes a font has to be generated.

Yes! For that reason I've upgraded mine only with double speed and 6
MB.

Hi friends, especially Mitch!

since I announced the new 'version' of LaTeX for the palmtop, I get
more and more emails saying 'please send me LaTeX!', but I don't really
want to send a 3.2 MB file to 10 persons individually.

So please, can someone tell me who is responsible now for the SUPER

Mitch, don't you really do your job any more? Who is your successor?

I would like to send the zipped LaTeX2e to him that he puts it into the
archive.

This raises a couple of points:
1. Does pkzip 2.50 run on the palmtop?

2. If not - as pkzip 2.04g is not on SUPER, should it be?

3. If yes, I have (somewhere) a copy of the original 2.04g download complete
with manual which I can send to mitch or one of his proxies (or whoever wants

Paul,

> Hello all! Status report from my PIM Quest:

I told you about agenda.

I'm happily using PIM/PE and went through the learning curve after reading the
doc's and help file's of PE and PIM about 18 times. I still have them in PE to
be called with the shortcut F6.

If you need "good" printing capabilities you might stay with the built in
applications. If you prefer ASCII and excellent cross-file search capabilities
you should consider PIM/PE.

I'm too bussy to write an introduction to PE/PIM but think that the availlable
help files should be sufficient.

Now to the PALRUN problem : look into the doc's of palrun to run it with the
right switch for your video display. I call POST/LX and PE on my desktop
without any problems. For my laptop the command is PALRUN -c c:\path\pe.exe.
There is a problem with PIM - the video somehow shifts the 80 character line into
two overlapping lines. Don't know a solution to that.

Timestamps: they are an open issue. You might ignore the error message for
files which do not hold any appointments or tasks. I have renamed them eg. from
notes.pim to notes.db (you have to change in PE.CFG accordingly).

Regarding your other problems ask them one at a time here and we will try to
walk you through. Joint teamwork is more efficient than work in Norsk solitutde
(g).

I agree with the following suggestions:

BUT it has to be someone with experience
in writing understandable manuals. Some people
write in a style, that it would take the same
time to figure it out myself. The problem is
not, that PIM/PE is not understandable. I think
that many people on the list would understand
all the functions. I feel, that PIM/PE is a very
mighty app. But I don't have enough time to
figure it out.

>2) Andreas includes his file structure and

On S.U.P.E.R exist some apps in a slim version
and a pre-installed version. Why not 2 versions
of PIM/PE: slim and pre-installed.

I think, that the help and doc are a pretty good introduction. An
additional introduction needs also to be read!

BTW whenever I read the docs, I find something new about the application.

Hi:

I have decided that the Psion 5mx is for me...

I am selling my 4MB HP200LX in pristine condition.  I also have a serial cable,
and a copy of IntelliSync for HP200LX - it was an electronic purchase so I don't
have media.  However I do have a hardcopy manual.  I will also include a leather
case (originally for a Compaq PDA) that is very nice.

I am looking for $350 for the entire thing, which includes Fedex 2nd day
shipping.  US only.

Thanks,

Mike

Can you describe that in more detail? Is this with PE or PIM or both?
Sounds like a PalRUN bug. As Harry Konstas trusted me the PalRun
sources, there is a good chance I can fix it.

The silicom card still does not work in the DS HP, even with all the
excellent work done by Rod Whitby.

The supplied drivers report a memory error, the LXCIC/LXEN combination does
not recognise the card.

The Accton is the prefered way to go.

Yes it does, just like version 2.04g does, and you won't notice
any performance difference, unless you use the new extreme pack
switch, instead of the old extra pack switch.

I would imagine per the PKware agreement, the program can be
freely distributed, as long as it is not modified, so why not
get pkzip added to S.U.P.E.R.?  But why not add the latest
version?  Why would we consider adding the older version 2.04g,
when the only downward compatibility problems, between the newer

using the new extreme pack switch, which would prevent the older

I have turned the SUPER updating tasks over to the very capable team of
Jeff Johns and Bill Childers. They can be reached with any new
submissions for SUPER at submissions@palmtop.net or individually:
jeff@palmtop.net and bill@palmtop.net.

The big thing holding up the latest update is a corrupt SUPER.GDB (from
which we generate the pages). I have tried a couple of times to rebuild
it, but haven't been successful so far. If anyone is a 200LX data
reconstruction expert, drop me an email and I'll tell you what's up.

Subject:      PCPLUS
Content-Type: text

All this interest in PKZIP got me wondering about another old favorite,
Procomm PCPLUS for DOS.  I spent about 30 minutes this morning trying to
track down this program, and am a little confused.  Datastorm Technoligies,
the authors, were sold to Quarterdeck, who in turn seems to have been
sold to Symantec.  The Symantec website lists PCPLUS v2.01 and v3.0 for
DOS as still being actively sold, although no tech support is available.
But I couldn't find anywhere on the website to buy, or even get info, on
PCPLUS for DOS.  When I tried their feedback button, I was sent through
a dazzling array of pages that seemed to be anything but a way to report
my observation to them.  In the end, I just gave up.

Also, did there used to be a freeware version of procomm?

-Chris

Should be able to send straight ascii to it. It is a serial printer. May need
an adaptor for the din connector. Can't remember if there is a DB25 on it
since I am not home to look at mine.

Paal invested two days to get PIM/PE running. He presented his

Peter, did you really read the PIM/PE docs 18 times (before you could
really use it)?

If yes - I have no more questions, nor interest in learning how to
learn complex setups, learn complex user commands, not to forget
about seldom used user input sequences - although I'm very interested
in PIM, especially on a 200LX.

I don't want to upset anybody - I just ain't the command guy.
(Excuse my wording)

Bob,

I am not so sure it will work.  We have two different serial
interfaces here.  The Palmtop is RS 232 and the ImageWriter
it RS 422.  I remember a discussion a couple yrs back about
it and don't remember any resolution.

If there is a way to do it I would like to know.  I have an
extra ImageWriter II sitting around.  (G)     =Bob=

I'm pretty sure that there was a shareware version, but a quick scan of
Simtel shows nothing. Perhaps it was removed? I might even have an early

I imagine you can still find it on the net if you look hard enough - using
a search engine such as FTPSearch you can find files in the oddest of
places.

Yes, and he said he'd refrain from using it on the list, although it

Jeff (and list!)

I finally saw the message you posted. I got your email first,
and had no idea what it was about <g>... Just the you were
being flamed for the word, but I had no idea what it was
about. As you recall, Al was extra-fast in making my id
nomail, even before I had a chance to get an alternate mode
(Merci, Al! :- )

> To those on the list that are flaming me via private email for

Well, it is just a word. Of course I meant "contemplation" -
but I have no idea how my finger jumped from c to a on the
keyboard.

But I think the temperature on the list is way too high -
really, not every post is intended to be a cut at someone.
Sure, maybe it was reasonable to assume that Jeff _could
have_ guessed the word, and Jeff just wanted to "get back at
me" - but probably not. Flaming him is just as uncalled for
as flaming anyone else - even if the message they post
_seems_ offensive to the reader. (I know some of you smile
sarcastically now - look who is writing about uncalled flames?
:-) ... Well, please read on.)

I want to suggest a possible way around some of the bad
feelings. Ask. "Did you really mean to demean me? Your post
said such and such, I took it to mean this. Did you intend
that? Why? If not, tell me so and if necessary, tell the
list."

Hans Peter Staber posted about this a few days ago. His
position, as I interpreted it, was that many problems come
from the lack of appreciation a poster has for _how_ his/her
post will come across.

Language plays a lot into this. We are not all native English
speakers, and even among the "native" speakers, there are huge
difference in the usage of the language (e.g. UK, US, NZ,
Australia).

Also, when I compose a message, I may be in a specific mood,
and a comment like my "additional qualification for betas"
are amusing to me. But they caused terrific ill feelings
when someone else read them. I can tell you all that I was
smiling when I wrote to Jeff and Tony about this, and it was
just really funny to me. But I never expected that Jeff
would be offended that it was demeaning of him.

So these factors creep in all the time. I am sure this post
will probably grate on someone too. Frankly, I have been
thinking about it long and hard and I am really not sure I
should even post it - _someone_ will get ticked off.

Please, if you feel that way, write to me and ask me if I
meant to offend before you adopt this feeling.

But maybe this methodology will help create a "kinder,
gentler" atmosphere in the list. I would like to be part of
the solution to this, not just part of the problem <g>...

Andreas,

> Can you describe that in more detail? Is this with PE or PIM or both?

It is ONLY with PIM. As I wrote POST/LX as well as plain PE look nice on
Pentiums with WIN95 or WinNT. The same happens at my dinosaur back home - a 386
running plain DOS 5.

Description : both GUI screens as well as list screens in PE look somewhat
shifted. List screens are easier to explain : On palmi the screen has 80
characters per line. On the desktop it looks as if for each line the last 20
characters or so are shifted to a new line but with only 50% line spacing thus
partially overwriting the upper and the lower line.
This happens both with small and medium sized fonts in the config file.

I'm not so shure about palrun but my secretary would certainly appreciate if you
could fix that (g).

If it really _IS_ that bad, PIM/PE would have
no future, except for one or two handful freaks
with _MUCH_ motivation (please don't flame me,
read on...). I don't think, that it _IS_ that
bad, especially because Andreas seems to be very
interested about useability too. I think, PIM/PE
can be on of the top-ten-must-have-apps for the
lx, ... if ... the useability increases.

You can set the current list so NOMAIL and subscribe again under the name
where you want the list to be sent. This will enable you to reply
from that address and have list related responses sent there also.

You could also consider to switch to digest mode to cut the number

Had a chance to test that on a desktop machine. Could reproduce that
behaviour. PIM writes beyond the right screen edge. The palmtop ignores
such writes (clips them) while PALRUN keeps on writing, which writes
text to other parts of the screen. Should be easy to fix in PALRUN.
Will email you a fixed copy.

Borland is giving away both Turbo C 1.5 and 2.0.  The latter is a pretty
good compiler for the Palmtop. =

Oh, it was! <G> When finding it, I was amazed that nobody (especially
me) seemed to have stumbled across this before. Seems I have never used
HEX2BIN with just a part of the file and that part included a single
LF. When PE writes out a piece of a file to disk, it opens the created
file in *text-mode*. This means that LFs are extended to CRLFs. That's
the way those additional CRs appeared.

This is fixed now in the version of PE that is available from
www.dasoft.com. Thanks for reporting that bug!

BTW, that version of PE also retains a double space after a period when
using ESC Q or ESC q.

I'm 99% certain that an ImageWriter will print fine from a palmtop. Years ago, I
ran one from standard DOS PC with no problems.

An important point, as I recall, is that ImageWriters expect to see a null modem
connection, unlike normal PC serial printers. Your best cable option is to use
the HP-LX serial cable plus a straight adapter or Apple *modem* cable to make it
fit the ImageWriter's 8-pin DIN socket.

(The HP-LX serial cable is null modem. If you connect it to an Apple *printer*
cable, which is usually also null modem, you'll probably cancel out the
necessary signals. In a case like this, I think you would need a third null
modem adapter to restore the null modem signal!)

Other than that, set your serial port to 9600,8N1 and you should be fine. By the
way, an ImageWriter uses a C-Itoh engine, so your best driver choices will be
either ImageWriter or C-Itoh 8510.

Hope this helps & let us know how it goes.

A short quote from the Palmtop Paper:

"The 100/200LX can print directly to a non-AppleTalk Imagewriter I or II
using the F1016A cable. Set the HP's serial port to 9600,N,8,1 and select
Epson FX-80 as the printer driver in Setup."

I don't think I've ever heard of a freeware version of Procomm.  They
started out as shareware, many years before they became commercial.

They're main competitor, qmodem, also shareware at that time, was a far
better program, in my opinion.  Later they sold out and the user interface
got screwed up.  But the early qmodem was easier to use and gave more
control that Procomm.

I'd have to dig but I probably have shareware distributions somewhere of
both programs.  I've never used a modem with my 200lx so I don't know if
they will work with it.

On that topic, I recently bought a 14.4 Megahertz X-jack modem to try out
with the 200lx.  Not that I have any use for it but it was $15 and I thought
it might be fun to play with.  But I don't have the slightest idea how to
use it.  Can anyone give me some pointers on getting started?  Actually I
don't even know what there is to connect to anymore.  I gave up my shell
account last year and I haven't called a bbs in several years.

Subject: PCPLUS

All this interest in PKZIP got me wondering about another old favorite,
Procomm PCPLUS for DOS.  I spent about 30 minutes this morning trying to
track down this program, and am a little confused.  Datastorm Technoligies,
the authors, were sold to Quarterdeck, who in turn seems to have been
sold to Symantec.  The Symantec website lists PCPLUS v2.01 and v3.0 for
DOS as still being actively sold, although no tech support is available.
But I couldn't find anywhere on the website to buy, or even get info, on
PCPLUS for DOS.  When I tried their feedback button, I was sent through
a dazzling array of pages that seemed to be anything but a way to report
my observation to them.  In the end, I just gave up.

Also, did there used to be a freeware version of procomm?

I may be able to dig up version 1 if you are interested. I would have to look
for it. I think pcplus can do zmodem where procomm 2.4.2 cannot.

I was sitting here browsing thru my old catalogs and came accross my 1994
Educalc catalog.

Under HP95/100LX software, it lists the following software from Ace
Technologies:
- Switch 2.0 - task switcher
- fastWRITE - word processor
- fastCOMM - communications utility
- fastNOTES - pop-up notes
- fastLINE - outliner

Anyone familiar with these programs and how well they work on the HP200LX
compared with today's software?

I'm interested mostly in comments about the fastLINE outliner.

Thank you all for your kind support and sundry comments.
I think i can sum up by saying that the list members see some genious in
the PIM/PE combo, but that it takes some polishing to bring out the
sparkle!

This thread has at least contributed to Palrun being fixed so that the
combo works on a desktop. I only wish someone would have taken up the
challenge of describing how to make the s/w work. As you all know, it's not
just a matter of getting a prompt on the creen, it's making the prompt do
something useful that matters.

I shall spend some time with PE/PIM this afternoon trying to figure out
what it does and how it does it. If I succeed, I'll let you all know.

If nothing else, Andreas has provided me with an intellectual puzzle to
sharpen my wits!

Regards,

Paul/Paal Rasmussen (Paal is pronouced Paul. Used to live in the UK, where
I gave in to frequent misspellings!)

PS. This list is in itself a convincing argument in favour of the LX!

Well, searching Simtel for "joe" provides the following:

  Filename      Date   Size                   Description
============= ======== =====  ==============================================
joe2x2.zip    (960531)  134K  Pwrful editor for programmers, Usenet/mail, GP

link: ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/editor/joe2x2.zip

I don't know if this version will run on the LX, but since Joe was
modelled after Wordstar (and there are *lots* of Wordstar compatible
editors for the PC out there) then you might be able to find a similar
editor if it does not.

Not sure about FastLINE, but FastWRITE was an older version of VDE -
maybe with some modifications.  VDE 1.87a is on SUPER, and 1.87b is at:
http://www.punky.com/vde/

I think FastCOMM was a modified older version of COMMO, but I'm not
positive.

Barry,
Plug it in, bring up Data Comm in <MORE> and in <CONNECT> go to
<SETTINGS> change as needed, bring up <PHONE> put in your own phone
number <F10> <F10> back to <CONNECT> <F10> and it will try to dial your
phone, of course it will get a busy signal, but you will also get error
messages if something is wrong.

If you're printing from the built-in applications, I'd suggest that you choose
the Epson 80.

I am rather sure you can use the Filer application on the 95 to
communicate with the Filer application on the 200LX. Just set
both of them to IR comms and set the 200LX to 2400 bps. The 95
will automatically use 2400 bps with IR.

Then follow the instructions on the 95 to have it be the
machine to be controlled by another and follow the instructions
for the 200LX to have to control another machine.

It will be slow, but I think I have done it.

works properly - I actually have a disk space limitation of 3 MB and
0.8 MB are already filled with other stuff, so let's hope that the nice
guys from my university put the stuff on the WWW-server anyway
(it's a 2.9-MB-file).

I'll let you know again if I surely know that the download link works.
I only do this provisional notification for those of you who need
LXTeX2e NOW (Tony? Do you read this?)

Please don't report if the link doesn't work  I'll try it myself.
LXTeX should be available from Friday abt. 4am middle european
summertime at
www.user.tu-berlin.de/~dherbgba/palmtop.html

Stan,

replacing long filenames with the 8.3 equivalents for DOS should be
possible for HV, it could even be done on the fly I think. One of the
problems would probably be to determine whether the requested document
is a local or a remote one, because only filenames for local documents
would need to be converted to 8.3.

 Make sure your data and index directories are created and defined
 (Data=3Dc:\pim\data, Index=3Dc:\pim\index) and you have also defined
 (Cur=3Dc:\pim\data\cur.pim); all in the PIM section. Start PE, it

Both GIF and JPG files have the facility to add comments to the file
itself, does anyone know of some software for the LX which can do this?

I'm trying to sort out some photos from my various trips and adding a
memorable description would help with the organisation of them, rather
than the 8 character date description I'm using at the mo (and makes it
easier to sort out when I finally get back to a desktop).

I've been using X-Finder to associate a 30ch description to the photos,
works great, but it ain't quite long enough...

Yes, it is slow, but that is how it works.  I have a 200LX cable coming in
the mail from Ebay, but for now that's how I'm transferring files to the
200LX.  Thanks for the reply.

It is not my intention to offend you in any way, but please have a look
at PIM.DOC and especially at HELP.PIM. *All* your questions from your

There is no puzzle. It is all documented.

After a good tip from the list I searched and downloaded the Win3.1-version of
Webwhacker (a shareware utility to download websites) from Tucows. It downloads
the longfilenames.html and convets the filenames to the DOS
8.3-filename-standard. Additonally it converts all the inbound links to those
new filenames.

I now reached another limitation: The DOS 256-files-per-directory-limit.

But that's another story ...

Dear all,

I've been sorting through my old 5 1/4 floppies and found a copy of Procom
Version 2.4.2

It's got the following statement:

"ProComm, including this version, is not and never has been public domain
software, nor is it free software.
ProComm is copyright (C) 1985, 1986 by DATASTORM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Non-registered users are granted a limited license to use ProComm on a
trial basis for the purpose of determining whether ProComm is suitable
for their needs.  Use of ProComm, except for this limited purpose, requires
registration

All users are granted a limited license to copy ProComm only for the
trial use of others subject to the above limitations. (bit about must
include documentation).

Operators of electronic bulletin board systems (Sysops) may post ProComm for
downloading by their users only as long as the above conditions are met."

So basically if you want a copy of Procom let me know off the list, or if
the keepers of SUPER are around can I send you a copy?

Regards

David Cripps

I don't know of such a software and don't believe that it
exists, because it would make no sense to just add a comment
to a JPG. All JPG viewers just skip the comments (and
application segments), because they cannot know what kind of
data is stored in there.

This only works, if you have a software, which writes a JPG
image and allows you to add a comment and then displays this
comment together with the picture. Software packaged with
digital cameras works that way. But if you watch these pictures
with other viewers, the comment are not accessible, because
there is no JPG specification for data in comments and
application segments. It is completely up to the application,
what is kept there, and how it should be processed.

LXPIC as a viewer just skips comments and application segments.

Recently the screen on my 200LX 8meg DS went dim .     I started using
rechargable batteries about 1.5 months ago.     I purchased them from Thaddeus -
I would include the pertain battery information in this message but they do not
have any name plate data.    I performed a control/alt/on and did not
reintialize c:drive and the screen would come back normal.    I had been using
the demo version of ABC/LX which expired a couple of weeks ago(as DA Software
promised).       I ordered and just recieved the full version and installed in
last night.

Can anyone explain why the screen went dim?     Could it be related to the
recharging process w or w/o ABC/LX?

The screen dims and brightens in relation with the temperature of the =
unit.
You can vary the brightness by holding the ON button and then pressing
either the + or - button. When mine gets hot during charging, the screen
almost fades away, but is brought back by varying the brightness. Good =

It's known that the LX goes dim during recharging because the heat
generated affects the screen contrast (something to do with the proximity
of the charging components to the screen circuits or something like that).

The same effect is seen if the LX gets warm as from sitting in the sun.

The contrast will revert back to normal when the charging stops (such as
when you reboot).  Alternatively, you can adjust the screen using On- and
On+ until the charging is done.

    Hello all,

I think LxPic could be given the ability to display text info embed-
ded inside JPEG file application segment with some effort,
but writing data into that area of an existing image is pro-
bably more complicated and not likely to be implemented.

However, what new features you get in next LxPic release
mainly depends on the number of letters you send to Stefan
Peichl, I guess. Surely backlight enhanced screen makes
viewing pictures on palmtop more realistic/useful.

Have you heard that OnTheGO Software Corp. ships
Pocket Quicken for WinCE? Everyone should not get a
life and a Jornada. With PQuicken on Jornada you can
easily calculate how much it cost you to enter the color-
ful world of Microsoft...

If anyone knows the pinout of the Accton EN2212-2 card
connector cable (the end which goes into the card body,
with a 15-pin flat plug), please tel me.

        Thank you, Sincerely: Tamas Feher.

Ok about Editors, I got to find a version of VIM on http://www.simtel.net,
but and about a C++ compiler, any idea where I can find it ?
I have TC++ 1.01, but it doesn't have some new features like templates and
exceptions.
This is the why I'm looking for it.
I listened to around that the TC++ 2.0 has this features, but I couldn't
find it on the web.
Any help ?

Since Texas' motto is "Friendship" and has the friendliest people in the

Practice typing "y'all" instead of "youse guys".  Say "Ah" instead of "I".
That'll get you started.  Before long you'll find yourself saying things
like "down yonder" and "howdy".

It's impossible to be unfriendly in Texican.

Hi, where can I find vim for DOS ?

I need a C++ compiler too. Where can I find it ?

 Borland has made Turbo C 2.01 (not c++) available for free download on
their site.  Go to http://community.borland.com/museum/ and log in as
anonymous.  Then enter that address into your browser again and you'll see
it.  they have 3 versions of tc and 3 of Turbo Pascal available now.

Since I'm from Alabama, I know all about saying "y'all" but I thought the

Barry,
Plug it in, bring up Data Comm in <MORE> and in <CONNECT> go to
<SETTINGS> change as needed, bring up <PHONE> put in your own phone
number <F10> <F10> back to <CONNECT> <F10> and it will try to dial your
phone, of course it will get a busy signal, but you will also get error
messages if something is wrong.

Thanks for the tip.  I'll give that a try.  But, about settings, what port
do I use?

Correct. I don't know of any DOS imaging apps that can display descriptions
inserted in files. However, there are some Windows and Mac programs that can
do this for certain types of formats. I hadn't heard of them doing it with
JPEGs though, mainly with TIFFs, PostScript files, .CPTs and .PSDs.

That doesn't mean they can't though, I suppose. If you a program that can
display the comments within JPEG files, then it should, if programmed well,
allow you to change them too. I don't know of any LX-based solutions though.

Ah, yes, You are correct. For PC 2.4.2 you needed a sort of plug-in to do
Zmodem... forgot about that. Wow, I just realized that this stuff is from
about 12 years ago. That's pretty old in the PC world. PCPLUS is definitely
a better alternative. I think they also added a lot to the scripting
language in that version.

Could anyone answer that prayer?

Start PE, position the cursor on an empty line and press Ctrl-Enter.
This calls PIM. In PIM you may exit with Esc or Alt-Q.

Add a grap-search line in PE.CFG which searches your helpfiles and

Andreas : you might add such a line into the default pe.cfg with a comment, that
the user should enter the correct path (wonder, who will pass that test

Subject:      thinking of taking the plunge into palm windows CE

I've been thinking of getting one of the palmpilot-style windows CE
machines. Amazon sells the Phillips Nino 319 for $180. It looks like agood
deal because it had voice, backlight and a 19.2 modem included.

I was wondering if anyone has tried to make the jump to a device like this
after using the LX. I know many people have tried switching only to come
back to the LX but most of the stories I heard were of the palm-clamshell
style CE devices. It would be helpful to have some insight before I waste
time and money on this persuit.


Thanks.

Well, I now get my list feed through the newsgroup.

Question: How can I reply or post?

I believe that the newsgroup echoes the list, but not the
reverse. That means if I reply on the newsgroup, the reply
will maybe post in the newsgroup, but not in the list itself.

Besides, it seems like a herculean job to grab an article and
drag it into the mailbox for a reply.

Anyone has any toughts? Mark (from Holland) and I are batting
these questions between us! :-) ...) TIA for any idea and
feedback.

It's in the database repository on Super.

The URL I just fished out is:

According to the date it's been there since 1996.

Short story:
In 1994, I purchased my first 200LX.  In 1996, I decided to _work_ at
Microsoft on Pegasus (Windows CE). Prior to joining Microsoft, I sold my
200LX to my brother-in-law -- thinking WinCE would be the 'future'.
Two weeks ago, I just purchased a new 200LX from onsale.com. ;)

After selling my first 200LX, I went through:  Pilot, PalmPilot III, Psion
5, and most recently a Jornada 820.

I haven't found anything as functional as the 200LX.  The extensibility
(even excluding the ability to run DOS apps) is amazing.  Everything else
on the market is really just eye-candy.

I'm back to running the 200LX and more productive as ever.

Your decision really depends on what you want out of a handheld computer. If
you want a computer that can run full-blown word processors, spreadsheets,
mathematical programs, medical applications, databases... then your best bet
would be the LX.

If however, on the other hand, you wish to use a device (and this is more true
of the Palm series) that will serve mainly as an expensive dayplanner, you
should choose the Palm PC. There are some advantages of CE however; since it
is Microsoft's child and backed by numerous OEMs, more and more developers are
creating software for it (see www.jimmy.com for a very fun example).
Peripheral manufacturers will also follow suit as they have already begun to.

This will in all likelihood take a long time however. At present, the main
advantages the CE machines have over the LXes is in the area of multimedia. If
you buy a Nino 3xx with its grayscale screen however, you lose out on video
playing so the only multimedia advantage you get is audio (which I must admit
is a big plus).

If I were to go back into the CE market however, I would never return using a
Palm-sized PC. If you think the LX's keyboard slows you down (and I don't),
wait till you have to mess around with the horrible, tedious and annoying
slowness you'll encounter when using a keyboardless computer. (You could pony
up

Software is also a problem here; right now, there is a lot more software
available for the H/PC. This is partly because the H/PC has been around
longer, partly because it has a keyboard, and partly because it's more
powerful. Try surfing the Internet (oh wait, I forgot palm-sized PCs don't
even have a Web browser!). Try not giving up in frustration as you try to
write in arcane Unix commands in a telnet program. Try writing something more
than 8 paragraphs long. Try writing or compiling a program. With a P/PC you
can't do any of that.

In short: If you decide to depart from the joys of LX now without missing out
on your favorite LX features, I'd recommend buying an H/PC with all its
numerous advantages.

__MS__

PS And despite all the criticisms we LXers have of the H/PCs, they do at least
have a great Web browser in PIE 3 ;-)

Has anyone had a look at these gadgets?  I think it's alot of money to
spend just to read e-books but will admit that I would _buy_ e-books from
B&N or Powell if there was a reader for the HPLX.

From what I could see from the product's web site they just use an html
file as input to the RocketWriter software.  I don't know how they encrypt
it or if making a Dos reader is possible but they do have a desktop reader
for Win98 that is a freebie download.

I think you can get a Palmpilot IIIe for about the same price.
And the new ?Mindspring? unit will be less.
Take a look at www.eurocool.com, a nicely organized
site for the plentitue of pilot software.
If the Nino has all the software you  want, the
modem makes it tempting.

I don't like acknowledging the fact that LX may fade into the background in
the years to come. I'm new to the list and was wondering how we as loyal LXers
can avoid having to throw away all of our DOS investments. Does anyone think
it realistically possible for the LX community (I hate it how people abuse
this word but that really is what LX users are ;-) to create a _real_
replacement for the 200LX? Not pie-in-the-sky wishlists but an actual computer
you can hold in your hand.

The Times2Tech upgrades are a good start but we're still trapped in a 16-bit,
CGA world. I'm not an engineer but surely there must be some way that you can
cram a 486 into a LX-sized package isn't there? The Jornada 680 has a 133 MHz
processor inside and it's not _that_ much bigger than an LX. I know that such
small chips do exist and I for one wouldn't mind having to use a NiMH battery
pack if that were the price to pay for multimedia, wireless networking, Linux,
Windows, etc.

And what about displays?  Color displays needn't suck your batteries dry. The
Sharp Zaruses in Japan have color displays (what issue of H/PC Mag was it that
had the story in it, Hal?) and can run on a pair of AAs for 15 hours or so.
Why doesn't anyone put this technology to work in a DOS-compatible handheld?

I can see a few reasons why HP went into CE (fear of being a maverick, fear of
Microsoft retaliation in the far bigger desktop and laptop markets, not a
large enough market (though that's mainly due to poor advertising),
expense...) but I'm certain there is a market for such a device as I've
described: probably everyone on this list, HP-HAND, and nearly every upgrade
purchaser would be very interested not to mention the large number of
scientists, government agencies, and corporations who'd have much more of a
use for a Windows-based palmtop than a DOS-only one.

Bottom line: What can _we_ do to see that a replacement for the 200LX comes
out in 3 years or less?

Unrelated: Why do very few handheld manufacturers target education markets?
How many teachers and students do you think would be interested in a computer
that is ultraportable and hard to screw up?

I have a Casio e-11 palm "pc" sitting unused.  Why?  Because I quickly grew
tired of the slow response, the endless wading through menus, the unreliable
connections to the desktop (and with these, connecting to a desktop is
mandatory; they sure aren't standalone-capable like the LX), the poor
quality, expensive software from third parties, and just the general
extremely limited functionality compared to the LX.  They *look* tempting,
but underneath the eye-candy "feature lists" is a garbage product - and this
refers to WinCE, not just the Casio model.

If you really want a palm size with a stylus, the PalmPilot is far superior.

You asked for opinions, you got them!

In POST/LX pressing R will reply to the list through your "mail" outbox
automatically if you have

To=HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>
Box=mail

in your hplx-list newsgroup section in POST/LX

(If you want to reply to the person who posted then pressing "F"
instead of "R" works great with the above arrangement)

I'm an employee of NuvoMedia, makers of the Rocket eBook, and also
the author of the desktop reader (the eRocket).

Currently, the RocketEditions you can buy from B&N and Powells are
encrypted and can only be read on a specific Rocket eBook.  eRocket,
the desktop reader, cannot read encrypted RocketEditions.

However, using RocketWriter, you can create unencrypted RocketEditions
from web pages or other HTML or ASCII source.  There's quite a library
of unencrypted RocketEditions available at www.rocket-library.com.

In theory, you could extract the HTML from an unencrypted
RocketEdition and display it using any browser (HV for example).  I'm
not sure if we've made the RocketEdition format public but I'm
positive one of the clever folks on this list could figure it out if
they wanted to.

But, before going to all that effort, I'd suggest rethinking the idea
of reading books on the HPLX.  Now I'm not putting down the HPLX.  I
own two and use one daily.  They are great little computers.  But as
far as an electronic book goes, there's really no comparison with the
Rocket eBook.  The HPLX lacks the screen quality, backlight and ergonomic
design of the Rocket eBook and really can't (in my opinion) be used
for serious reading.

Don't just take my word for it, though.  You can try out a Rocket
eBook at some B&N stores and other places (like Frys and CompUSA).
You can find out more or download the eRocket at www.rocket-ebook.com.

Hmmm, re-reading this it sounds an awful lot like an ad :-).  But I
hope I've answered your questions.

Yyyyyyikes! 349$??? That's still a bit much for something I could have in paper
format and not be worried about breaking it if I sit on it, drop it, or bend it,
with no batteries, no fear of losing it, and actually being able to photocopy
pieces at times. But, hey, some people do read a lot, and this could actually
turn out to be cheaper. But has anyone found out how many paperback books that
would take?

Great technology, but paper still does it for me. Besides, there's no better
contrast.

My 0.02$.

On this we must "agree to disagree."  I'm 50 years old, and my eyes aren't
what they used to be, but I read everything from the Bible to poetry to
public domain fiction on my palmtop.

I will not be buying any encrypted books until I can read them on my 200LX.
And believe me, when they are, I will.

By the bye, how strong is your algorithm?  If cracking software becomes
available I might consider _buying_ (not stealing, and not passing on) the
encrypted books and making fair use of my purchase on my palmtop.

I'm not looking to start an argument, since I am totally intransigent on
this.  Even if you gave the reader away free, I wouldn't carry it around with
me.

Cordially,

I beg to differ -- I have used the 200LX to read at least 100MB of text,
using Vertical Reader.  Great fun!  All it needs is a backlight ... <g>

I've seen a couple of notes, one from a Rocket proponent dissing the LX as a
tool for reading etexts, and another rejecting the whole idea out of hand.

Just wanted to weigh in for the opposition here.

While a Rocket eBook (or however they spell it) may well be a nicer
book-reader than an LX, it's not a nicer computer. And while many folks don't
like reading etexts on pocket computers, there are also many of us who do.

I got hooked on the habit as a happy LX user, and have continued now that I've
shifted to the Palm Pilot.

A Rocket eBook wouldn't be with me _all_ the time the way my LX used to be and
my Pilot is now.

Sure, paper has way nicer contrast and readability, but it's also bulkier ---
infinitely bulkier, if the computer will be with you anyway for other reasons.
So etexts let me have books with me all the time, without needing to carry
anything I wouldn't already be carrying.

And while books may be nicer, I personally prefer an etext on an LX or a Pilot
over a hardback; the weight and bulk are a hassle. Paperbacks, yes, they're
nicer than an etext, if the book isn't too long. But this is pure taste.

I agree with all Lynn said. And the topic of using books legally in ways that
the seller didn't intend reminds me of another topic: anybody happen to know
what equipment and software are required to take a printed book and turn it
into an etext? (Yes, I know "OCR", I don't know what model scanner and what
brand of software.)

I've got a _Lot_ of books I want to carry around with me. All of Heinlein, all
of Jack Vance, ....

-Bennett

P.S. Yes, I know they won't all fit in my Pilot, but they'll all fit in my
Sony Vaio 505TX --- 2.7lbs, tiny --- which is with me whenever I travel
anywhere, at home and at work, and the Vaio does file xfer with the pilot via
IR. So if I can only carry a half-dozen in my shirt pocket that's OK.

This is odd. I sent you a message with a beta version of IRC/LX and
another one asking if you received it. The latter one even with a
delivery confirmation request - and I got that confirmation.

I think I found a bug in PE/PIM.  I have some repeating
appointments that I imported from the built in Appt to PIM using
the tools in the PIM archive.  When I highlight one of the
repeat appointments in PIM and press Ctrl-Enter, I am taken back
to PE with the cursor on the first occurrence of that
appointment, not the occurrence I was highlighting in PIM.

I assume pressing Ctrl-Enter in PIM clips some of the
appointment information, then returns to PE, then searches for
the clipped information. This search lands on the first
occurrence of that information, since PE probably doesn't realize
that there are identical entries later in the file.

Nice that somebody desn't "throw in the towel"(as we say in Sweden.)

 a development due to the limitations of a mobilephone,price,size etc;and=
 not only that,who want's to surf on real Internet on a mobilephone?You=
 only need the raw facts and no estethic stuff.

What I was thinking about was just this,that perhaps we LX-users could=
 in the future connect to this smaller WAP-internet and manage to surf=
 like hell,and don't have to care about the ordinary Internet?

This miniInternet could be,if you will excuse a biological metaphor,for=
 us LX-users what the island Komodo east of Java has been for the biggest=
 lizzards in the world,without that island they would have been extinct=
 for tens of thousands of years ago.(Sorry don't know the english name=
 for that lizzard)


As far as I know it will not be Windows CE in WAP mobile phones,Ericsson=
 has said no to microsoft and are now developing a new operativesystem=
 with the english company PSION.

Anyone has any comments on this idea of mine?

They are welcome.

Sorry Lars et al,
Y'all is a contraction of the words "you" and "all".  Pronounced  yawl.
Generally used in the same way as "you" might be used.  It can be pluralized
to "all y'all".  (As in all y'all come over tonight.)  In Yankee land (New
York etc.) an equivalent might be "Youse Guys".

I bought a Palm Pilot 3x a few months ago and gave it a try.  Frankly, for
carrying phone numbers with me, it's a lot nicer than the 200lx. It also
wasn't hard to get my 200lx phone book into it.

The problem with the Palm is that the applications are much more limited
than the 200lx apps.  If you want to use it for anything more than phone
numbers, there is a fair to middling file program you can buy.  I did buy
it.  But it's not nearly as powerful or easy to use as the 200lx database.

I looked at the WinCE handhelds, too.  Their apps are even less powerful and
the OS is hard to use compared to the Palm.  However, I'm still tempted by
the Casio 105 because of it's multimedia capabilities.  I like to listen to
audiobooks and they're becomming available in mp3 format now.  And there are
some nice games for it.

But the quality of serious software that's available for any of these
machines doesn't come close to what we have for the 200lx.  Not in terms of
features and not in terms of user interface.

Also, programming on the unit is an important factor for me.  I use Turbo C
and Turbo asm on the 200lx and have for years.  It works out very well.
There are a number of interpreted and slow languages for the Palm devices
and the WinCE devices, but there is only one serious language for them and
that's Quartus Forth on the Palm.  I've been playing with that, some.  But I
really hate GUI programming and you're kind of forced into at least some of
that on the palm.

I have 3 200lx's.  I bought a second one when I thought my first one was
ruined after a drop in the water.  I bought a third from a pawn shop at a
very low price.  So I'll have them to use for a long time.  I only have one
Palm Pilot.  When it goes, it goes.  But I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

I figured a bunch of people would pipe up saying they've read tons of
stuff on their HPLX and think it's just great.  If it works for you,
great!  Like I said, I use mine all the time.  But having used both the
eBook and the HPLX for reading, I prefer the eBook.

From a publishers point of view, the advantage of a special purpose reader
for etexts over a PDA or even a laptop is security.  Anything that is
displayed on an "open architecture" reader can be stolen.  Sure, it might
take some work initially but then the "ripper" would get posted on the
net and anyone could do it.

Its easy to keep honest people honest, and impossible to make dishonest
people honest.  In the early days of PC's it was common to copy protect
software to avoid piracy.  Of course it didn't work.

When you tell people that they are too dishonest to be trusted with a
product, you give many of them a license to act dishonestly.

Cordially,

A week ago I sent my DS 200LX to Thaddeus for a keyboard repair.
They not only got it back to me within a week, they made it look
like new!  It looks and feels like a new keyboard, so I think
they must have replaced it.  But that's not all: the hinge is
tighter (my paper-in-the-end-cap fix is gone), and the clasp has
been replaced (my rubber band fix for that is gone, too).

This is fantastic service.  I couldn't ask for more.  Hal, you
guys are great.  If anyone is wondering about Thaddeus' repair
service, I would say, "Do not hesitate--send it in now!"  After
Thaddeus repairs your machine, it will be like getting a new
toy!  Same for a DS upgrade and Software Carousel.

Now if I could just quit playing with this thing and go do
some chores....

It's a contraction for you all and used whenever addressing a group of

you're likely to hear "all o' y'all"!

I second that Gearge! I basically ruined my own screen by applying too
much WD40 to the right hinge which was also broken. I am in the UK and
still got the palmtop back in 2 weeks. Then I think maybe some residual
WD40 may have caused more pixels to go in the screen and Thaddeus
honoured the 90 day warranty And I have it back again. Absolutely first
class service. I've never dealt with a better company! I also got it
upgraded to 32MB to make the repair worrhwhile :) Now I can't believe
the difference in productivity as I have about 8-10 SC sessions going.
Plus the new screen is one of the best I have seen.

Sort of.  An e-publisher published it in etext form a while back and I
went to buy a copy.  I think the web site was www.domhanbooks.com.  But I
never received my copy, though they billed my credit card for $4, and
Davis said even HE didn't get a copy, and the publisher pushed the date
back about six months, so he was going to look elsewhere.

I still think he should have changed that IBM PC110 in the book to a
200LX.  <g>

I have heard about Symbian consortium of Ericsson, Psion, Nokia, Panasonic,
and Motorola. It sounds interesting but I'm sure it would take quite a bit of
persuading to get those folks to develop software that is compatible for
either DOS, much less System Manager since the primary OS for the group is the
Psion EPOC system.

They've come out with some new products already, which I haven't heard much
about. And while I think it's an interesting idea, I would ideally try to put
more of an emphasis on creating an improved LX (i.e. one with a a 486, etc.)
wouldn't you? There are already wireless solutions available for the LX that
work quite well for some people.

Just for the record - PIM/PE comes with large help and doc files. I
understand some of you thought I'd missed the files. I haven't. They're
there, and they're pretty thorough. (...but only list members know what the
ementhaler switch does <G>) My concern is that this info is not enough for
a spoilt Windows user to set it up and do useful work with it without some
serious study.

Complex products need simple instructions leading you step by step into
their complexity. Hence the "hello, world!" excercise in most programming
textbooks.

Enough said.

Actually, Texas was about 95% Mexican back then. Even 90% of the people who

>>Could anyone explain the expression "y'all" to a foreigner?

>>Lars Hedstroem/Sweden

In English, the non-Texas "you" is either singular or plural.  Some yankees
use "youse" for plural use and Texans say "yall" or "y'all" or however you
spell it.  It's a contraction of "you all".  I guess you could say its a
sort of verbal lasso.

I think that among easterners, "youse" is considered poor usage, but in
Texas, "y'all" is very commonly used and is generally thought to be
acceptable, although we're taught in school that it's not good usage.

Thank you.

FWIW:

When contemplating the future, it is useful to consider three classes of =
knowledge:

1. Things we know we know.
2. Things we know we don't know.
3. Things we don't know we don't know.

BTW I did not know how better oganized my life could get until my
latest foray on PIM v1.0 e.g., my ASCII archives are now being integrated
into my daily routine via PE & PIM.  Very powerful...this PE+PIM+Knowledge=
 Base.

Thanks, again for participating in this list and all the software you
have written and are planning to write.

Hello Jack,

By syntax I was asking for the actual structure of the database files, this
would include all the keywords, the seperators, the terminators, whatever
expressions may be supported etc..

Usually things like this are described in a BNF format.

For example, as I look at the adb file I see their is some form of header at
the top of the file
and there then seems to be a section that contains the contents of each of
the records within the database.

In the adb I'm looking at right now it appears to have some interesting
strings within it such as "hcD" various strings that start with (or contain)
an "&" a "#" or a "@", some of the strings appear to be terminated by a ":"

At this point I'm making a bunch of guesses what each of them mean, some
look like multi-line records (although this may just be an artefact of the
viewer wrapping the line).

The reason I would like to get a full and complete description of these
files is that I'm interested in writing a parser for them that would sit
inside Outlook (using VBA).

Thanks Mike

That explains my question.  I didn't understand how PIM did
repeat appointments.  I was assuming something like the built-in
Appt, where I can select one instance of a repeat appointment
and edit it.  I had intended to do the same in PIM and was
suprised when I ended up at the first instance rather than the
one I wanted to edit.

Now that I understand how PIM does repeat appointments, it isn't
a problem.

Sorry to have bothered you before investigating this enough.

I'm trying to run to ppp devices on the hplx.org machine, one an analog

with IP address 207.168.238.47. (ppp0) I can get one or the other to be

I don't think that it would be a big problem to let 'normal' browsers (like

the amount of data to speed up the transfer for mobile phones (9600 / 14400

WWW/LX does work 110% better than Nettamer for browsing and the email

You need to set the netmasks appropriately.

Because both of your addresses are 207.168.xxx.xxx - the "default"
behavior for the OS is to assume they are on the same subnet (i.e. located
on the same network).

You might just try setting up static routes:

        route add 207.168.182.222 ppp1
        route add 207.168.238.47  ppp0

This should keep them separated.  Now, if hplx.org acts as a router - then
you'll need to configure some kernel tunables.

If you have questions, feel free to give me a call:  617-901-2219

One of the big reasons it didn't work was the hassle factor for the
honest user.  With ebook encryption it's transparent to the user.
Of course some might say that only being able to read the book on a single
device is a hassle...

Well, you'll have to convince the publishers, not me :-).  This is exactly
what's got the recording industry all in a tizzy over MP3.  Check out
the copy protection in the DVD standard.  How about scrambled cable channels?
Of course just because everyone's doing it doesn't make it a "good thing".
But I'm pretty sure that in the ebook world, if we didn't have security that
the publishers felt comfortable with you wouldn't be able to go out and
buy the latest Stephen King as a RocketEdition today.

The balance between English and Spanish use has been changing over the
years... and there has been a gradual move toward more bi-lingual education
in the schools.

Predictions that the language could change have been around as long as I
can recall (I'm 45), but they have always been considered long-term.

So it could happen some day... but I don't believe it will be soon.

My $.02,

I used Nettamer for awhile but a corrupted mail file was a frequent
occurance for me so I switched over to WWW/LX, better interface and I
haven't had a corruption problem at all. I don't care so much about the
interface, I did hate rebuilding my files. I have no experience with
Going Postal but there are people on the list who are happy with it.
I'll stay with WWW/LX and its integration with PE/PIM.

Paul

Hello!

Technichistorians claim that it has happened several times

Isn't this what we see today when HP200 slowly fade away
in the darkness of forgetfulness,replaced by Windows CE machines?Just=
 because there is a Windows-fascism that rules the world?

Perhaps there is any technichhistorian on this mailinglist

Found one on SimTel that seems to do the job.
From the USAGE.DOC file of JPEG6B.ZIP

 THE COMMENT UTILITIES

 The JPEG standard allows "comment" (COM) blocks to occur within a JPEG =
file.
 Although the standard doesn't actually define what COM blocks are for, =
they
 are widely used to hold user-supplied text strings.  This lets you add
 annotations, titles, index terms, etc to your JPEG files, and later =
retrieve
 them as text.  COM blocks do not interfere with the image stored in the =
JPEG
 file.  The maximum size of a COM block is 64K, but you can have as many =
of
 them as you like in one JPEG file.

I found that Graphics Workshop added comments which were readable by
RDJPGCOM (the DOS utility to read comments in the JPG) and vice versa so
there seems to be a defacto standard of some kind, although rarely used
and not defined past generic text.

In any case the software I found will suit the purpose I have in mind,
that is to add a description to my "photos" that actually stays with
them as they get transferred between OS's and file systems and can be
extracted at a later date.

It is, as you say, dependant on the applications involved.

Subject:      Re: thinking of taking the plunge into palm windows
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi:

Several opinions -


First, the 200LX was my first palmtop, and has served me on and off for many
years... my other points of reference are Newton MP2k, Compaq C140 (WinCE H/PC
v1.0), HP620LX (H/PC 2, color), PalmIII, Philips Nino 312, PalmV, HP Jornada
680, and Psion 5mx - as well as the Sharp Wizards I've bought my wife over the
years.

Next, I believe strongly that people are either 'pen' people or 'keyboard'
people.  For a while I thought I was a 'pen' person (on the strength of the
Newton, and weakness of the WinCE H/PC's), but have realized that I am a
'keyboard' person.  You should try to assess yourself, and only buy what meets
your style.  Hint:  if you immediately look for keyboard shortcuts on a new
Windows application, you are probably not a pen person...

There are two major Palm-sized contenders, WinCE and Palm.  I believe that
utility is the difference, not simply multimedia.  Sure, the WinCE Palm systems
have great multimedia - the Casio E10x is pretty amazing in that department.
However, the PIM is the weakest I've used, the speed is anemic given the power
of the hardware, the battery life terrible, and ActiveSync - like most Microsoft
apps - _can_ do terrible things to your system (I've been fairly lucky, but our
MIS has forbidden its' installation as it conflicts with their disk image and
completely trashes the system!).  If you want to sync with anything but Outlook,
you have to run the app separately, it won't integrate into ActiveSync.  Then
their is Palm - no fancy color screen, no big speaker, no way to play 'Phantom
Menace' previews or MP3's - it just works.  The PIM is very good, the system
response if very fast, the apps very nice, and you get 'conduits', so anyone can
get one to sync to anything (there is a very nice spreadsheet app QuickSheet
that synchronizes spreadsheets!)  The Palm Desktop software is simple and
painless, I've never seen it trash a system!

Even the H/PC's are very weak in the app department.  You can't graph in Excel,
work is very limited, Powerpoint is read only, there is no 'drafts' folder in
Inbox, the list just goes on.  On the other hand, the HP J680 was the first
WinCE system that I thought was faster than the HP200LX - I didn't believe it
when I was told that the Psion 5mx was faster (it is!)

To sum up, if you decide you are a 'pen' person, and want to do primarily 'real'
work, get either a used Newton (MP2000 or 2100 only) or preferably a Palm.  The
Visor from HandSpring looks interesting, especially because of its'
expandability.  If you want a video/mp3 toy that you can store some stuff on,
get a Casio E105 and a _big_ compact flash card.

If you are a 'keyboard' person, I would suggest the Psion 5mx.  You will miss
the numeric keypad, but there is a nice buch of software out there and a lot of
'200-ish' features (like the notetaker ... I still love that after all these
years!).  I can't recommend the HP680 due to reliability problems I had (I had
three sent to me from service before I got rid of it, only time I ever had to do
that)

Now that I've sold you so strongly, I do have a Nino 312 I'm lloking to get rid
of and will sell for $100, if you are interested!

Mike

Ya don't have to be a... Technihistorian :-) just watch the present !
Even today we see superior technologies fading away to better aesthetics.

Nonetheless I still stick to them despite being unpopular and unhip.
They just do the job like nothing else I've seen !

In my case, I still use the DOS based HP200Lx, on my home desktop I'm sti=

OS/2 Warp (Y2K and Euro compliant, Best JVM, Killer interface, etc).

Until Linux comes of age, I'll stick to those !

Vueprint (Win3.x and 9x versions) from Hamrick Software
(http://www.hamrick.com) allows you to view & edit ASCII comments. It
also reads the ASCII comments that my Kodak DC-260 or Adobe PhotoShop
embed in the Jpeg pictures (exposure, etc.). I haven't located any pics
I embedded sound in, so I don't know how, or if, it handles them.
Picture Information Extractor from Hoju.Soft (http://www.hoju.de) reads
the info from digital camera pictures and displays it, as well as
permitting auto-renaming of the files based on your criteria, including
extracted time & date.

DOS can have many more than 256 files in a subdirectory.
The ROOT directory has a file limit.

That doesn't apply to subdirectories, only to Root, and the limit
varies depending on your disk size.

I am happy, that you got your unit back. I am using 10 SC sessions too, I
know what you are talking about.

It sounds as if Thaddeus is a good recommendation for service even for
you in Europe. May I ask you, to go a little bit more into detail about
what you got and what you had to pay for it. How did the unit look like
when it was returned? Also I am interested how much freight is to
England.

Yes, but the tool downloads all files into one directory and renames all the
html-files. It works ok, but only if you have not more than 256 files. It is an
ok solution for me.

I think there are files describing the file layouts on the supersite at
www.palmtop.net. I know there are file layouts in the PAL (Palmtop
Application Library) on super, along with a lot of other information.

Also, Thaddeus sells a cd with the official docs from HP and it has the file
layouts.

Hi friends,

        Knows everyone if exists any application to capture screen in the

        I should be happy if the image format was easily handled (jpg, pcx,

        Thanks and have a nice day !!

I find it kinda hard to believe you really honestly believe that.

The hassle factor is obvious; you have to carry around your special dongle to
decrypt the fucking things, rather than being able to use a general-purpose
computer you are already carrying around for its own usefulness.

Maybe you habitually walk around with a regular barrow-load of random crap,
but I try and keep my travelling load light; every ounce has to justify
itself. I won't be carrying around a book reader that's not a general-purpose
computer, since I'm already carrying around a general-purpose computer for its
own usefulness and can easily and happily read books on that.

I actually think it's a symptom of an industry in a state of flux. It'll be
interesting to see what equilibrium the publishing industry settles in to once
they get past this spasm of stupidity.

Hi Francisco

Look on the SUPER site
http://www.palmtop.net/super.html

I can think of three, but there may be others.  Look for CAPSYS  CAPLX
and GRABBER.  The first 2 capture as PCX.

Grabber uses it's own format and produces an executable file, but comes =

It is certainly a trade off.  Some prefer the all in one approach with
a device that does everything satisfactorily while others like devices
tailored to a specific task that it does extremely well.  Sounds like
we're getting dangerously close to the Palm vs HPLX religious debate
:-).

Well, I carried an LX for many years, got totally addicted to it, and acquired
the habit of reading etexts with VR, then a few months back I switched to the
Palm III, and it's looking more and more like I'm going to remain satisfied
with it, so I ought to _really_ be able to have fun in a Palm -vs- LX
fight:-).

It makes sense to me. I worked in SW Development for a company

there had no idea what Data Warehouses were for!

Hey! it's nice to hear there are other programmers who __hate__
GUI programming.  I guess I've been hanging with the wrong crowd!

That's one thing that keeps me away from Wince--you can't
program on it, and you have to use Visual C++ to program it on
your desktop.  (The other thing is that there is no Command
prompt, but I guess that gets more into why we prefer the feel
of the LX series.)

Yep.  I have all of the above on my LX.  The grabber conversion
programs also let you crop the image.  Nice to have.

Repair is $125, no matter the problem, and shipping outside U.S. is $35.
(At times we may give the customer the option to pay $175 if we substitute a
new screen or motherboard. I don't think we have ever forced a customer to
accept that option, but depending on supplies, there may be times where we
will have to require that or ask the customer to wait until we get a
suitable used part or pay $175) .

We normally ship it within 3 working days after we get it.  Probably you
should add a week for shipping, but that is somewhat outside our control and
varies country to country.

I also think how the unit will look will vary depending on what is wrong.
However, other people can comment.

There is no limit of 256 files in a DOS directory. There can be
a lot more than that. There is a limit, however, to the number
of files in the ROOT directory of any drive. Are you perhaps
putting all of those files in C:\ or D:\?

Oh, I just thought, do you mean the limit with Filer only
displaying the first 256 files from a directory in it's file
list? That is true and there is not anything you can do to
change Filer.

Ths definitive answer is in "The HP 100LX/HP200LX Devleoper's Guide"

Search the archive files for a netnews message written by
Andrew Gryc some years ago (it *might* be on DejaNews.)  The
Subject line was "** Format of 100LX Databases **".

Also look for the "gdbio" package which contains programs to
dump and read .gdb files.

Also look for the "adbio" package by Andreas Garzotto.

You should grab a copy of MaxDOS from S.U.P.E.R. and this way you will be
able to run it from within System Manager.

I would suggest a minimum of 8MB, but you could do it with four or even =
two,
but the space would be real tight. SC will allow you to run and switch
between several programs at once.

Yes.  That's how I do it.  Ctl-3, and I'm in the Bible.  Ctl-1 and I'm back
in SysMan.  Very user friendly.

 If so, how much memory should I upgrade to?

Subject:      help: flash mem / card services / nec 486

My backup procedure is to zip my files to a ST 40mg
card (all weekly, changed daily). When I have time, I
copy the zipped files to my old NEC Versa/75 486
laptop.  Currently, I use the serial port cable to
transfer from palmtop to laptop (really slow!).

My problem: I can't get the NEC to read the card when
inserted into a pcmcia slot. I'm sure it is just a
matter of knowing the right commands to give this
"card services" thing that the NEC uses.

Is anyone familiar with this, or know where I might
find the right commands/drivers?

I just got my old 200LX back from Thaddeus today. Before I sent it,
the display had flaked out (due to the hinge crack I think). Besides
the major hinge crack, there were scratches on the bezel around the
display, and the cover latch was broken.

Now the unit looks brand-new. The keyboard even feels like a new unit,
but it might be my imagination. The only way I could tell it's not is
that I recognize the wear patterns that were on the underside of the
case.

It was an excellent repair job at a reasonable price (I also got the
8MB upgrade and the double-speed).

I'm pretty sure it's a contraction of "How do you do?". I'm a native

Sorry, I'm a bit out of touch with palmtop developments - is f*****g a
technical term or some new operational procedure required for reading
ebooks ?   It sounded like a procedural thing, but you can't always tell

Hi friends,

I've collected all my palmtop-related projects (hardware and software)
and made them accessable for you at

http://www.user.tu-berlin.de/~dherbgba/palmtop.html

There you'll find also LXTeX2e. The link now works!
Additionally there are all my articles about the serial port, making a
serial connector, building a LED light....

You can now also download these articles as ZIP files, so you don't
have to read them online.

Ths definitive answer is in "The HP 100LX/HP200LX Devleoper's Guide"

Search the archive files for a netnews message written by
Andrew Gryc some years ago (it *might* be on DejaNews.)  The
Subject line was "** Format of 100LX Databases **".

Also look for the "gdbio" package which contains programs to
dump and read .gdb files.

Also look for the "adbio" package by Andreas Garzotto.

Mike,

Look for gdbio on the Super site (www.palmtop.net). It is an import/export
utility for ADB and GDB files and it contains the C source files that you can
use to analyse the structure.

Subject:      Beta testers wanted for LXMTA (formerly LXPOP) IMAP support
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I have added *rudimentary* support for IMAP4 (as opposed to POP3)
mailboxes to LXMTA (formerly known as LXPOP and LXNNTP).  LXMTA now
supports SMTP, POP3, IMAP4 and NNTP.

So if you're stuck with an ISP that only supports IMAP instead of POP,
then you can now download your email to the palmtop.

The main advantage of IMAP that I intend to use is that you can leave
the messages on the server, and also download any messages that you
haven't seen yet (where "seeing" a message could either be downloading
it to the palmtop, or accessing from your desktop machine).

I believe that LXMTA is the first IMAP client for the palmtop (I know
someone will correct me if I'm wrong).

And I predict that the other two major palmtop mail clients (POST/LX
and Goin' Postal) will have IMAP support soon - because they wouldn't
want to be lagging behind the open-source freeware solution ;-)

If you wish to beta test the new version of LXTCP (1.2 beta 7), you
can download it from:

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

    This may be off topic or a bit on the dull side for some.  I have
used this editor for quite some time, and some of its best features
took me a long time to find and get used to.  If you use and like
WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS, and have use for a text editor, the rest of
this post may be of interest.

    Earlier this year someone mentioned a world wide web site to get
the WordPerfect Office Editor.  This was part of the old WordPerfect
Office product which included a calculator, a calendar program, the
ASCII, binary, and macro editor, a file manager, a small database
called "NoteBook", a program menu and shell, a mail program, and a
scheduler.  My office bought this and so I have the original documen-
tation available.

    The database was in WordPerfect secondary merge format.  It was/
is fairly simple, with a useful set of features.  Because it was a
merge file, addresses could be merged with a letter in WordPerfect
for instance.  And if you kept phone numbers in it, you could have it
dial your phone using a modem.

    I used the shell for a short time to run Lotus 1-2-3 and the
editor at the same time to cut and paste results into a report.  We
also used its menu to set up machines for "easy" access to programs
for people that weren't computer literate (meaning comfortable with
DOS commands).  The menu laid things out so all you had to do was hit
the "W" key to run WordPerfect, "L" to run Lotus, and so forth.

    Way back, when there was a magazine for WordPerfect, we had a
subscription to it.  It had a hints column that mentioned that there
was a utility diskette for WordPerfect available from SSI (old name
for WordPerfect Corp.) that had a macro editor.  The price was right,
free, so someone in the office called up for it.  The diskette had
PE.EXE a program editor, and ME.EXE the macro editor.  Later the two
programs were merged to create ED.EXE.  And the other programs were
eventually bundled with it to form the Office product.

    Looking back, I realize that some of the features I now use were
not obvious at the time.  I sort of belong to the Dodo school of
software users in some cases.  So I have a trio of hints or sugges-
tions to share.

    The first is indentation.  The F6 key allows programmers (and
others) to indent quickly.  If you are on a line below an indented
line, pressing F6 copies the white space to create the same indenta-
tion.  A second press will copy the upper line to the start of the
next word.  Took me a long time to figure why this was useful, so I
will give an example.

    Take the case of an assembly language program.  The text and
commands are laid out in columns.  And there are a lot of repeti-
tive lines (at least in my programs).  An example line looks like

        MOV     AH,EXIT        ; DOS Exit
_

Imagine the cursor on the start of the next line.  Hit F6 and the
cursor is underneath the "M" having copied the white space to create
the indent.

        MOV     AH,EXIT        ; DOS Exit
        _

Hitting F6 a second time copies up to the next word.

        MOV     AH,EXIT        ; DOS Exit
        MOV     _

If I type enough to be under the white space again,

        MOV     AH,EXIT        ; DOS Exit
        MOV     AL,Okay_

and hit F6 twice, I am ready to enter another comment.

        MOV     AH,EXIT        ; DOS Exit
        MOV     AL,Okay        ; _

    It is a nice feature, once you get used to it.  I like it due to
an old conflict between tab characters and an old printer I used.  I
use spaces in my assembly programs by habit.  Shift F6 will duplicate
the entire line above in a single operation.

    The second tip is the macro editor.  If you have the resource
file in the same place as the editor, you can edit macros.  For Word-
Perfect this is WP.MRS.  The HP 200LX keypad is in normally the num-
lock mode. This is great for using numbers, but WordPerfect, and the
editor, use the keypad "+" and "-" keys to move a screen at time.
You can remap the page up and page down keys to do this, but then you
lose going about by pages.  I don't remember the key presses to get
an edit mode plus and minus on the 200LX, so I made a macro.  You can
make a dummy macro and edit it.  Once editing it, any keycode command
can be entered in text mode.  Type a curly bracket, the words "Screen
Up", and a closing curly bracket, {Screen Up}, to get a screen up
macro.  If you can't remember a key sequence, this will allow an entry
in a macro.

Hello,

     The original post was rejected as too big, so it has been
broken into two parts.  By the way this was, more or less, done in
response to another thread on documentation and tutorials for an
editor based program.  Some knowledge is only useful when explained
for about the third time, in a different way, for a new purpose.

HTH

Steve

- - -

     The third tip is the command line switch /L or /l.  This is
useful for debugging programs or other repeated editing chores.  It
will start the editor at the same place in the file.  An example;
start to edit a file with the following command "ED DEBUG.ASM /L".
I edit a program, go to a problem area and edit a line.  Then I save
the file and run the assembler, which (only for the sake of the exam-
ple of course) complains bitterly about some fatal error.  Then the
command "ED /L" will pull up the file debug.asm and place the cursor
on the line I was last editing, all in one fell swoop.  And if the
file is large this saves time and effort.  But it took me some effort
to get this to work.  And I don't think it is in the help file.

    A mini-tip for both WordPerfect and the editor is, the copy
command using control-F4 stores the text in a buffer.  This text can
be recalled multiple times by shift-F10 and hitting enter.

Hi Lars-

You need VIEW - a program by Malcolm Drury (available on SUPER).  VIEW
allows reading Word, WP and other word processor docs on DOS machines.
Save the MS Word mail in a file, and then read it with VIEW.

Howdy and hi,

I agree.  I was too tired to remember to add that part to the email....

>I'm a native Texan, if that adds any credibility.

A young lady/native Texan friend of mine heard me say "howdy" for the first
time the other day and said, "What's up with that?" (She, somewhere along
the way has added "surfer" / "Californian" to her dialect ... including
"dude" in a very non-Texan way, but I digress). She had concerns that I
might not have "authorization" to use "howdy".  I assured her that, in
addition to my nearly "Gomer Pyle-like" "Hey Sir!" "Howdy" was officially
part of my vocabulary<g>!

As an aside, I once had a neutral, theatrically trained accent (Radio
News/Journalism undergraduate, voice lessons, theater, etc.) and the Army's
exposed me to so many dialects that I've absorbed them all (well the ones I
like<g>)!

Are you close to Ft. Hood and/or have we had this conversation before?

I use Online Bible 6.22 mostly, Hisword when I want large print, full screen.
Both are used alternately in a 384K partition with SC6. I have had problems
with the 123 screen in another partition when running both. Screen turns to
garbage but keyboard still responds properly so I can quit 123 if I remember
where I am at.

When running Online Bible or Hisword, I use files that have been compressed
during the Online Bible installation with "diet". My batch file to start
Hisword is

@echo off
echo off
cls
a:\bib\diet -z > nul
c:\app\hisword a:\bib\av
a:\bib\diet -zr > nul
cur

The diet TSR allows reading of the compressed files, i..e., Strongs's
definitions, etc. It is removed when quitting the program.

Don't know why I have the two echo's, there may be a reason that I forgot --
or I never cleaned up the batch file. cur is an assembly language program that
I wrote just to give me a big cursor, Hisword changes it to a small cursor.

With a 20MB Sandisk, I am able to store

As I do realize, that the offer from Thaddeus is also quit interesting
for us in Germany.

Last week I got back my hp200lx DS 96 MB from Rundel Datentechnik,
Germany. Along with the upgrade a got the keyboard replaced by a second
hand keyboard.

The price for the second hand keyboard was: 200,00 DM, which is at
current rate US$ 108,48.

The upgrade was flat rate DM 95,00, which is US$ 51.50.

In total the sum for repair/upgrade (along with a 96MB upgrade) was
about US$ 159.48 + VAT + shipping.

The unit came back in proper working conditions; however the keyboard was =
dirty
(agreed I bought is as second hand).

I am quite impressed by what you got for your money.

Thanks for raising this issue, a good hint and a great advice. I'll
keep it in mind.

Regards

Helmuth

I have been running Tom Hoover's HisWord program, version 1.22,
for quite a while now, thanks to Tom upgrading it to include a
request I had made a while back.  Tom's program reads the Online
Bible Company's data files, to be displayed on the LX.  I am not
sure if I still have the latest version, I haven't been to Tom's
website in a while to check.

I have a double speed, 8 meg 200LX, and have the HisWord
program, and the data files also loaded on my "A" drive.  The
program runs just fine, from within system manager, and you
don't need MaxDOS or Software Carousel to run it.  Let me
explain how it runs for me, without any problems at all.

In the path statement, for my HisWord icon in system manager,
make sure you have a pipe "|" at the end of the line, to give
the program all the available memory to run it.  In the comments
line have a upside down question mark "=BF", to automatically exit
DOS after the program is finished running.

Also there must be the hisword.cfg file located in your "_dat"
sub-directory in order for the program to run.  Here is what my
hisword.cfg file looks like:

User
Path=3DA:\PROGRAMS\HISWORD\AV_NIV
Font=3D2
Version=3D2
View
1=3D1

The Path must be your path of the Bible data files.  I use the
dual version AV_NIV data files, that I purchased directly from
the Online Bible Company.  I think that they still sell the
other versions of the Bible data files.  You can look up their
phone number to call, I think their website is:
www.onlinebible.com.  They are located somewhere in Michigan.=20
:-)

The dual version I purchased, for not much money if I recall,
gives me the ability to switch between versions to look up
passages in either the American Version or The New International
Version, with just the press of a button in HisWord.

The font line tells Hisword what zoom mode to open the program
in.  The Version tells Hisword to start the program with the NIV
version.  I don't recall what the view line did, but either Tom
made the suggestion to enter: 1=3D1, or the program somehow made
the entry.  Tom is a list subscriber, and may be able to chime
in here, if needed.

I don't want my message to be misinterpreted that the replies to
your post from Jeff & Lynn were incorrect.  I am just stating
that the HisWord program will run just fine, from within system
manager, without MaxDOS or Software Carousel.  I use MaxDOS for
only one thing on my palmtop, and that is to run POST/LX &
WWW/LX from within system manager, so that POST/LX is able to
open PE, still from within system manager, to compose messages.

I feel Software Carousel has caused a lot of corrupted files,
from users that are not careful enough to follow the proper use
of Software Carousel.  Such corruptions are reported a lot here
on this list, and the consensus have usually been that the
database file, that got corrupted,  was open in one session, of
Software Carousel, and then another session either tried to open
the file, or write to it, and then the file got corrupted.  I am
sure that due to the fact that a lot of the power users use
Software Carousel, that it is a great product, and has a lot of
advantages also, I just do not have a need for it.

Like I said above, you can run the program from a flash card, so
even with a LX with less less than a 4 meg ram drive, the size
of the ram drive, on the LX does not matter.  Also if you are
waiting to get your backup unit repaired/upgraded, why not wait
until the backlight project is complete?  I also am going to do
the same thing, except my backup unit is a new 200LX 4 meg,
still with the HP extended warranty in effect.

When Thaddeus gets the backlight project done, off goes my LX
for an upgrade.  I am leaning toward the 64 meg upgrade, if Mack
is able to rework the upgrade components, like his earlier post
stated, to eliminate the slight bulge in the bottom of the
case.  If not I may just go with the 32 meg upgrade.  I have
over 6 meg free now on my 8 meg unit, but run two 40 meg flash
cards to store any programs on that I do not use daily, so I can
survive with a smaller size, and the 96 meg unit costs a lot
more.

Hope this helps, and if you need further help getting HisWord
working, feel free to email me privately for additional help.

I downloaded the program SuperWorks for the palmtop and was able to
setup the program and get into it but I cannot access any help.  I don't
know if there is a specific key combination or what but without any
documentation it's really a pain trying to evaluate this software.

If anyone has a readable doc file or a key combo cheat sheet, I'd love
to get a copy.

Thanks,

Curtis,

<<It was an excellent repair job at a reasonable price (I also got the
8MB upgrade and the double-speed).>>

I am very pleased we did a good job for you.

I am almost embarrassed to think of how many hours I've spent playing
Dominoes, Klondike, Freecell, Tetris, Golf, Yahtzee.  For some reason I find
it relaxing.  I also use your DBCHECK in a batch file before backing up my
palmtop DB files.  (I've even tried some of your games on a Jornada 680
under XT-CE).

I haven't yet used your Outlook translation programs, but it will be
important on several projects I have in mind.

I also appreciate you giving us permission to include some of your games on
Super Software Carousel.

In other words, THANK YOU, Curtis for the contribution you have made to the
200LX community.

Hal at Thaddeus

This is interesting because I had the same error yesterday morning.  As far
as I can remember, I had all of my applications closed when I went to bed.

A quick run through Garlic (on SUPER) fixed the problem.  I only had one
extraneous date after the fix.  It was an appointment with an alarm at
137:20 on 9/20.  It was interesting to scroll down in the appointment view
past 12noon, 4pm, 8pm, 11pm, 23pm, 51pm, 93pm, 102pm, to 137pm.  The
repeat was maintained and I recognized the note as something which was
supposed to appear in 5 days (137/24=5.7).

All of my other DB's were intact.

Did anyone else have this problem?  Was there a bug in the system or Buddy
or something else which may have caused this?

Thanks!

In case of trouble I just copy over.  Yes, its backed up periodically

Stack 32 (or 64) MB C: and A: (on flash card) and on desktop.
This way theres no need for no calisteniks.
Just like copying from drive to drive and easy for BUs two.

Thanks a lot for sending the maps. I have to convert it on the desktop

Hi gang --

For all you other Findermaniacs out there, I just stopped by the Vector
site, and found that XF R.10 is out.  Don't know much yet - the docs in
the Vector file are, of course, in Japanese.  Looks like there are some
new goodies, though.  The title bar now shows power data (battery or
adapter + battery voltage).  There's a help file (Japanese) and - I
think - a built-in viewer.  The EXM is about 6K larger.  I'll let you
know when & if I figure out more.  Check it out, and see what you can
find.   8-)

Later

-Peniel

Ed,
I'm a little confused over which version I actually have. The disk is
labeled 7.07. The readme.doc says it is version 7.05. When run, the
executables either say 7.00 or 7.02. Which should I believe?

You should take the average of the version numbers to determine your =
correct
version. According to my rudimentary calculations I think that you have
version number 7.045 <g>.

I use Lxbackup to back up my a drive to my f drive(jamdrive). I want

If I run delete/erase f:\backup\adrive I get a "Really delete?"

Any suggestions? I have not found any swich for the delete command to

Why not simply sell a software that decrypts the e-books and runs on
the palmtop (additionally to the hardware)?
So everyone should be satisfied.

Thanks for replying!
I finally installed the 'BJ setup utility' (a DOS software to control
the printer) on the palmtop. Now I can control all the printer
functions directly by the palmtop (and also set it to BJ mode and set
it to use the German character set including all Umlauts).

Great!

I didn't think that it would work on the palmtop with the
serial2parallel converter! But it does!

Del (erase) can't delete a directory. You need deltree (from DOS 6.xx) to=

do this quickly.  Otherwise you can use Del F:\backup\adrive\*.* and then=

RD f:\backup\adrive.  To automate the DEL command the batch trick is to u=
se
the command echo y | del f:\xxx\yyy .  You would do better to get a copy =
of
deltree.  It may be available on the SUPER site or there are programs lik=
e
that on the internet.

 Another way to do this would be to use Filer to remove directories and
their files. =

Yes, I've lost one of them little rubber feet.  Is it still possible to
order that $25 kit of all the spares?  Or perhaps some kind person would
stick a foot in an envelope to me?  (postage and a green beer token will be
immediately sent back!)

many thanks in advance
Jez

I suspect that Rocket has as a goal getting as many e-books
out in the market ASAP, and selling reader software would
undermine those efforts. Also, Rocket feels that their displays
(and I assume battery life) are superior to most notebooks.
I am positive their boot time is shorter than *any* Win95/Win98
machines.

Also, if Rocket were to develop a reader for PCs it would most
likely be designed for Win9X, not DOS, and the display requirements
would be significant (greater than 640x480). WinCE might be
likely, but who would that please! <G>

Just my $.02, I have no insight into Rocket, just speculations...

I have a nightly batch program that takes a copy of everything
on my "C" drive and backs it up to my 40 meg flash card on my
"A" drive.  In order to do this I first destroy last weeks
backup on a sub-directory named by that day of the week, from
the last weeks backup, by using a freeware program called:
"deltree.com".

I have no idea how the author was able to name it "deltree.com",
when MS has a "deltree" program in the version 6.22 of DOS.  I
don't remember were I got the program, it may have been from
Simtel.  Here is the printout from running the "/?" help switch
on the "Deltree" program:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DELTREE.COM   v1.00a   08-13-1998   C. Dye   raster@highfiber.com
Freeware.  Copyright 1998, Charles Dye.  No warranty!

DELTREE switches filespec filespec...
  /Y    Delete specified items without prompting
  /V    Report counts and totals when finished
  /D    Display debug info

Filespecs may name files, subdirectories (all contents will be lost),
or DR DOS-style file lists.  DELTREE is a dangerous command!  Use at
your own risk.

This program may be freely distributed under the terms of the Free
Software Foundation's GNU General Public License, version 2; or, at
your option, any later version of that License.  See the file COPYING
for details.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It works just fine, like I said I use it in my nightly batch
files.  Here is an example of what one of my weekly nightly
backup batch files looks like:

DELTREE /Y A:\BU_200LX\1-MON
MKDIR A:\BU_200LX\1-MON
MKDIR A:\BU_200LX\1-MON\DATE
A:\BU_200LX\ND.EXE A:\BU_200LX\1-MON\DATE
xcopy c:\*.* a:\bu_200lx\1-mon /s /e /v

After the Deltree program deletes the "1-MON" sub-directory on
my "A" drive, the make directory program recreates the
sub-directory again.  Then the make directory creates another
sub-directory under the "1-MON" sub-directory, named "DATE".  I
then use a program that renames that new sub-directory, to that
of the current date.  I do this so that when I look into the
"1-MON" subdirectory, there will be an empty directory, on top
of my file list, that acts as a label, so I know the date of
that backup.  Xcopy will then copy all files from the "C" drive
to the "A" drive, including sub-directories, even if empty, and
does a verify.  Here is the printout from running the "/?" help
switch on the "ND" program:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ND 2.0  Name Date  by Gordon Haff.  Copyright 2/92.

The syntax for NameDate is as follows:
  ND filenames /f= /e= /d= /t= /p /b /?

The function of ND is to rename files using a format string such as
the current date.  For example, you can use ND to rename a file such as
CHANNEL1.QWK to 920203.QWK.  This is handy if you want to do something
like archive log or message files using the current date.

/f=format for new name.  Legal constructs are:
   yyyy and yy   year       mm    month       dd    day
   hh            hour       tt    minute
   a (1 to 4 characters) or n (1 to 4 characters) duplicate prevention
   'xyz'         where xyz is a literal string
/e=new extension
/d=new date of form mm/dd/yy
/t=new time of form hh:mm
/p gives a prompt and current settings before executing
/b Append a duplicate preventer on the first filename
/? gives this help screen
All parameters except for at least one filename are optional

--- begin of part 2 of 2 ---

Also just a hint, I used to zip all my backup files before
storing them to my flash card, but I used to have data problems
often enough, that I figured out that my SimpleTech 40 meg flash
cards, just could not handle the nightly pounding of these
backups in the zip format.

After I eliminated the zipping of the backups, and just now copy
them, unzipped, using the "xcopy" command to transfer all the
"C" drive files, to the flash card, the data problems I used to
have are almost non-existent.  I know this does not make sense,
but I think that the SimpleTech cards either are requiring so
much current, when my backup happens at night, while my LX is not
plugged into an AC source, that the corruption happens due to
not enough current being supplied to the flash card, or it is
just a trait of the SimpleTech 40 meg cards.

I have two of them, and they both do it, but my older Pretec 12
meg flash card has never done this.  When I send my backup
palmtop to Thaddeus to get the backlight added, I will then
purchase a newer, larger flash card, which will not be the
SimpleTech brand, and will most likely be the SanDisk line.

My nightly backups are the same for monday through saturday, but
Sunday's backup also takes a copy of Sunday's backup and stores
it into a sub-directory named "weekly", that does not get deleted
the following week.  These weekly backups sit in that directory
until I transfer them to floppy, or one of my laptops hard
drives, and then to tape.  Here is what my Sundays batch file
looks like:

DELTREE /Y A:\BU_200LX\7-SUN
MKDIR A:\BU_200LX\7-SUN
MKDIR A:\BU_200LX\7-SUN\DATE
A:\BU_200LX\ND.EXE A:\BU_200LX\7-SUN\DATE
xcopy c:\*.* a:\bu_200lx\7-SUN /s /e
PKZIP -exxrp a:\BU_200LX\WEEKLY\WEEKLY.ZIP C:\*.*
A:\BU_200LX\ND.EXE A:\BU_200LX\WEEKLY\WEEKLY.ZIP

The PKZIP line takes all the files on my "C" drive and zips
them, in a new file named "WEEKLY.ZIP", using the new switch in
version 2.50, called extreme compression.  Then the "ND" program
renames the "WEEKLY.ZIP" file to the current date.  I then end up
with a nightly backup stored on separate sub-directories for each
day of the week, and weekly backups for as long as I want to keep
them around.  I try to keep the last 4 weeks of weekly backups,
for disaster recovery.

Here is what my backup sub-directory looks like on my "A" drive:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Volume in drive A is 40MEG CARD2
 Directory of A:\BU_200LX

.            <DIR>     07-28-99   8:27a
..           <DIR>     07-28-99   8:27a
WEEKLY       <DIR>     07-28-99   8:27a
1-MON        <DIR>     09-20-99  12:00a
2-TUE        <DIR>     09-21-99  12:00a
3-WED        <DIR>     09-22-99   6:47a
4-THU        <DIR>     09-16-99  12:00a
5-FRI        <DIR>     09-17-99  12:00a
6-SAT        <DIR>     09-18-99  12:00a
7-SUN        <DIR>     09-19-99  12:00a
ND       EXE     32176 02-04-92   7:13p

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I then have the ability to go to each sub-directory, for each
day of the week, or to the previous weekly backups, to transfer
files, back to my "C" drive, that either I need, because of
corruption, or because I deleted them, and needed them later, or
I made a bad store to a file, and need to get the before copy
back.  I comes in handy often, not implying that I get many
corrupted files, more times it is my fault from doing something
stupid.

So if you would like a copy of these files, I would be happy to
email it to you, and if Jeff would like, we could get them added
to the S.U.P.E.R. site.  The "Deltree" file size is only 4,050
bytes, and the "ND" program is 32,176 bytes.

This is a VERY active list. I doubt that it would be very practical to
try to get all the list archives into a palmtop database.
However, if you are looking for some good tips for you palmtop, I would
suggest that you go to http://www.palmtop.net/supercat.html and go into
the Database section. There is a download there called "Three Databases"
that contain a lot of tips for using your palmtop.

Hey, Findermaniacs...

Here's some more stuff about the new version of X-Finder.

1 Power info in title bar  (Adapter/Battery & battery voltage)
2 Built-in viewer.  Can use 2 font sizes.  For some reason, even if you
   use a font loader, the small font reverts to the built-in font --
   the mid-size font is the one from the loader (if you use one).
3 Help system (Japanese) - uses XF viewer.  Seems to be based on a
   subset of HTML.
4 Choice of date formats in the file manager.
5 New zero-byte XF? file type - .xfj to jump to different pages in the
   launcher screens.
6 Some changes in the .env parameters
7 Uses zero-byte .xfn files to make blank entries in the launcher
   screens (to format the layout).
8 A bunch of PAW's cool cat icons.  (Over 120 of 'em)
9 Disk space display (if you use it) now works OK with BIG flash cards.


More later...

This doesn't work too.
It sends AT&F to the modem and waits for the OK.
It cannot see the OK and it doesn't see the CONNECT.
If I do the above, it doesn't even begin to dial.

I originally used Word Perfect and PE on a Data General mini, the system
that it was originally written for.  Later I used them on a PC as well.  I
agree that PE was a pretty nice programmers editor, but I was used to using
vi and I always found the number of keystrokes required to do anything in PE
irritating.  And the default on their "Are you sure" was always "NO".  I
hate a program that assumes I screwed up.

It did have a good set of tools.  But then I found qedit.  Wallah!  That was
magic.  Even vi paled in comparison.  I always wish there had been a DG
version of qedit.

We payed $38,000 for the license to Word Perfect on the DG and $15,000 for
the license to PE.  Mini prices are higher since there are more users.
Every year we had to renew the license and get an unlocking program from

not to support the DG platform anymore and when our year was up, both
programs stopped running.  Word Perfect's answer was simply "Sorry, we don't
support that platform any longer".

I don't think so, no; neither the LX nor the Palm deserve the epithet "PDA".
Both serve that function well, but both are also sound general-purpose
computers, as demonstrated by the amount of software available for them.

Thanks to its 68000-derived processor, the Palm is in some ways nicer to
develop for; e.g. there's a gcc-based cross-development environment that runs
portably on Unix systems, something sadly lacking for 16-bit DOS.

As I see it, the Pilot has two heavy downsides compared to the LX, lack of
keyboard and lack of expandability. These make it a far poorer choice for a
standalone computer, e.g. for protracted trips. Graffiti just doesn't work
anywhere nearly as well as a keyboard.

But the Pilot has a couple of serious advantages: it's way smaller, and it has
the backlight. So in some settings it's nicer to use (inadequate light) and in
most it's more pleasant to have tucked into a pocket.

For me, the move that offset the Pilot's weaknesses was using a Sony Vaio
505TX (2.7lbs, 8.2*10.2*0.8") running Linux. It gives me a keyboard on which I
can type at full speed, a machine sufficiently powerful that it's my desktop
workstation, and I carry it with me anywhere I take my briefcase; and it can
transfer files to and from the Pilot via IR, so I don't have to tote any extra
cables.

I'm pretty sure DOS only has a limit in the _root_ directory; put the website
into a subdirectory and the directory can have thousands of files if it needs
to.

The LX's "Filer" will whine, and only display the first however many files,
but they'll all be there and accessible.

Can you view files with a width of 80 characters. Can you run DOS software.

Sure, they wrap, but I can view 'em fine. I enjoy reading books on the palm at
least as much as I did on the LX with VR, maybe slightly more.

> Can you run DOS software.

Nope. Haven't even bothered trying. For all I know there may be an 8086
emulator out there, and it may even be able to interpret DOS executables at
some appreciable fraction of the speed of an LX, I wouldn't know. The software
I want is available native for the Pilot, so I don't need to try and run DOS
versions. Stuff's available for the pilot that's not available for DOS, too,
like ssh.

I have no qualms about changing my AA's when the power is off, knowing that

You should be okay to change it this way just make sure that you do have =

Have some fresh AA's installed during the switch and/or have your AC adapter
plugged in when you do it.

To NOT change your backup battery is to mess with it <g>.

Word wrap.  If you can read it on the HP200lx, you can read it on the
PalmOS devices.

The world moves on without DOS.  There is a wealth of software available
for the Palm that obviates the need to run many of those DOS programs.
I'm also sure the Vaio running Linux that Mr. Todd uses to supplement the
Palm can run DOS apps quite nicely.

The HP200lx is a nice device.  It is powerful and wonderful.  It's still
my only PDA and "laptop".  That doesn't make the options "toys".  Unless,
of course, you're referring to that disastrous little monster called
WinCE ;-).

I guess things will word wrap if you like that sort of thing. I want to look
at the
file as it was intended by the person who created it. One other reason why I
like
the LX so much is for the reason that I can set the right margin to 132 and
load my file
knowing fully well it looks the same.

It's a shame the world moved on and forgot to remember who got them there
DOS.
All the people who spent good money on software which was and still is in my
mind
GREAT should be given the chance to continue to use them.
Where would we be today if there was no Lotus, Foxpro, Wordperfect to have
built on.

Why have a laptop when you can have a HP200lx. The only thing I guess they
should have done
before dumping the product was to have made it colour, backlit and slimmer.
Still looking to
be convinced I should move and this discussion has got me thinking. I
suppose the viewing
of 80 char+ is a big thing for me. As I would like to store mainframe and
other types of reports
and view them.

Oh !!, yes I don't need to say anything about Windows CE do I. Maybe some
product will be available
which gives me what I can get on a laptop. Windows and DOS working well
together.

Howdy,

My electronic Collins dictionary (UK version bought in the US!)
agrees with Curtis. It says "from the phrase how d'ye do". But
most interestingly (to me anyway) it says 16th century origin,
which means it pre-dates the US. Where did it come from? I'm
not aware of its use anywhere outside the US.

BTW, the dictionary is running on my 200LX =3D desperate attempt
to bring some HPLX relevance to the thread.

I would appreciate getting a copy too.  I can read from my flash card but
I can't write to it anymore.  I wonder if we need to do something like a
fdisk first, then a format (is there a low level format for this too)?

thanks!

My experience is that if there are a lot of repeated items with many
deleted dates, e.g. a daily morning alarm repeated daily and gets deleted
everyday, you may have problem in a few month.  What happened to me is
that the Appt will complain too many deleted dates for the repeated item.
If you have too many such item, sooner or later you will have problem like
looked up in Appt, lost entries, entries cannot be deleted, etc.  My solution
is to periodically reset the repeated items to a current date to eliminate the
build of deleted dates.

This is interesting because I had the same error yesterday morning.  As far
as I can remember, I had all of my applications closed when I went to bed.

A quick run through Garlic (on SUPER) fixed the problem.  I only had one
extraneous date after the fix.  It was an appointment with an alarm at
137:20 on 9/20.  It was interesting to scroll down in the appointment view
past 12noon, 4pm, 8pm, 11pm, 23pm, 51pm, 93pm, 102pm, to 137pm.  The
repeat was maintained and I recognized the note as something which was
supposed to appear in 5 days (137/24=5.7).

All of my other DB's were intact.

Did anyone else have this problem?  Was there a bug in the system or Buddy
or something else which may have caused this?

Thanks!

I just received my upgraded 200lx back (8mb ds) today, and it
rocks!  Up to now I've been running a 2mb 100lx.  Hard to believe
it's only *double* speed.  Maybe I should generate a better pgp key
now that my LX is faster.

I need a WinCE emulator on it now to slow it down... :-)

Thanks Thaddeus!

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

Hello list,

I'm new so forgive me if this has been beaten to
death.

I'm having problems with Transfile Win 200.  During
transfers, the software gives me a "No Palmtop
Detected" error msg.  The 200lx still shows itself
connected in server mode as it should.  The problem is
more prevalent with large file transfers... say bigger
than 500k, but not limited to large files.
Eventually, after many tries, I can get the file in
question transfered, but it is tedious.

Any clues?  I've tried the various comm rates, but
without much sucess.

BTW... my PC operating system is Win 95.

Thanks,
Buzz

At one time I had the same problem and it ended up being a program that =
did
somethign weird to the com port on the desktop machine. I don't remember
what the program was and I don't really use Transfile that much anymore...
maybe someone will be able to offer more than I. Good luck!

I've just posted the latest version (3.0) of LX FreeCell. New features
include:

* Optionally enter Windows FreeCell game numbers (the same number will
produce the same hand on the LX).

* Can export deals in a format that can be read in by FreeCell Pro.

* Comments (saved in the history of games file) can now be entered
anytime instead of only at the end of a hand.

In case you missed it, the previous version also added the ability to
write to a file all the moves you've made in a game, to document how
you solved it.

It's available at my web page:
http://members.aol.com/freewhL44/lxgames.html
or aliased to http://cameron.hplx.net
or direct: ftp://members.aol.com/freewhL44/freecell.zip

By the way, FreeCell Pro confirms that game number 947293 is
impossible. It was first noted here by Peter Prime. FCPro is available
from http://members.aol.com/wgreview/

Thanks to Michael Keller for letting me know about FCPro, and for
sending me the algorithms used in the Windows version for generating a
deal from a number.

I had some problems with TF200 also when using my desktop Win95 and NT 4.0
systems, but they were usually resolved by lowering the com rate to 19.2k.

I now mostly do my bulk data transfers to my Win95 notebook via a pc card
swap.

I think David Sargeant, the news server admin, is going thru a job change
and needs to reallocate resources to bring things back.  I don't recall

Hello Buzz,

I have had that problem myself and I also have TransfileWIN200.

Try to click on "options",then a dialouge window opens and there choose=
 to click on "connect to the HP Palmtop".Then the computer tries to=
 connect again,this works atleast on my version of TransfileWIN200.

I just bought a new 64meg 200LX from Thaddeus with SC. What a great machine!
Suddenly, my screen is totally fuzzy - on bootup, and general operation.
Does anyone know what gives here? Too fuzzy to work with.

Infoselect users - I've been using Infoselect - the Base.wd file. When I
somehow created a new *.wd file - now Infoselect on my 200LX will only see
the present .WD file. Using Disk, Load - I can no longer see the BASE or
USER stack. My whole BASE stack is GONE! I do see on a DIR command (in DOS)
the 19,000K BASE.wd file present in the infoselect directory I am working
from. Anybody have an idea on what I can do?

Thank you in advance,

Anthony Ettipio

I'm relatively new to hp 200 computing, but I had a similar problem
transferring files
with another program to a pocket organizer a few months ago.  It was
cleared up by
using the AC power supply.  In my case, apparently the serial port was
drawing a lot
of current, more than even alkalines would provide.  If you haven't been
transferring
while using the AC supply, give it a try & see if that will alleviate the
situation.

What, on the Sony Viao 505? I bet he can... ;)

Can you run Palm software on your LX? Can yo do freehand
"sketching" on your LX?

Neither your criteria nor mine defines the "best" computer, they
simply point out short-comings of each different platforms...

The original post, as well as the follow-ups, seemed to be pretty
fair assessments of both platforms, IMHO.

Help! Does anyone use Yahoo mail on the palmtop?

I signed up for Yahoo mail on my desktop, and can send and receive mail
just fine with netscape using pop.mail.yahoo.com & smtp.mail.pop.com.

However, when I set up post/lx mailbox with those settings, it
generates some error, and doesn't send or receive. When I change my
settings back to flashnet mail, everything works fine again.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Mike...

After having a look at the great vertical reader, I wonder if there is a
speedreading program for the Palmtop.

An example of how fast one can read with the help of some clever software
can be found - but it does not run on our little friends though, it's a
Windows app:

ftp://ftp.vallier.com/pub/users/chigh/VIV_SHIP.ZIP

When I tried the program for the first time, I discovered that I could read
about three times as fast compared to the convetional way of reading books
or newspapers.

Perhaps this idea is a job for those great ptogrammers who already brought
us so many phantasic Sysmgr compliant apps...

Unfortunately I am not a programmer.

Thanks for listening.

Yes, of course, but I have not yet did this before, and am not

I like to program directly on the palmtop.  I use Turbo C 2.0 and Tasm on
the 200lx.  Borland C++ up to 2.0 also works.  I can work on it when I'm
waiting for lunch to be served, or standing in line somewhere or in the
doctor's waiting room.  Or sitting under a tree.  That's the best way to
program.  I have enough reference material on-board that I rarely need any
manuals.

I do the same with the Palm 3x, using Quartus Forth, but I know c a lot
better than I know Forth and I have to contend with the GUI.  Also there's
the question of Grafiti.  I'm comfortable with Grafiti but it can't really
compete with the keyboard.

Forth does fit the Palm's narrow screen very well so that isn't a problem.

All in all, the 200lx is much more suited to me except for it's larger size
and greater weight in my pocket.  There are times when I just don't want to
carry it with me and that's when I use the Palm.

I also finally gave up on Transfile.  It's unreliable, slow, and it doesn't
retain file dates.

For a while I used Hyperterminal Special Edition with Kermit.  That's a free
replacement for the buggy one that comes with windows.  You can download it
at www.hilgraeve.com.  You'll have to find it hidden among all their adds
for their commercial product but it's there.  They've fixed kermit and added
telnet to it.  It's a nice program.

Due to too many serial devices, I finally started using the pcmcia slot on
my laptop for transfers.  Recently I bought a pcmcia reader/writer for my
desktop.  It's from Sandisk and it comes in either parallel port models or
usb.  I think it was $89 at Best Buy.  It makes the card another drive on
your system.  It works very well.  I back up my c: drive on the palmtop to
the card using pkzip and then use pkzip on the desktop to zip the contents
of the card onto my desktop hard drive.  Transfers are now a snap.

Colleagues,

I have been trying to get MS-DOS 5's DOSSHELL program to
work on my 200LX. I really want the task switching
capability. However, DOSSHELL says something about a
missing file "DOSSHELL.GRB" when I try to use or add a task


Has anyone successfully accomplished this? If so, does
anyone know where I can get a copy of the DOSSHELL.GRB file
or the necessary guidance to create the file?

Thanks in advance. . .   clyde

My guess is somehow the speed driver file is not recognized.

First try to reboot. If that doesn't work, ideally you can see enough to get
to DOS.
Type F:\SPD31

If that doesn't work try C:\SPD31

Whether it works or not follow the instruction sheet that came with the
drivers to reinstall them properly.

If you have trouble, email jon@thaddeus.com who can email you drivers and
instructions.

If all that doesn't work then it is a hardware problem and you will have to
send it back.

Hello

I need some help.

1.5  years ago I bought a PCMCIA memory card and got lifelong guarantee.Now=
,when I wanted to buy a Sandisk Compact Flash Card,the salesman said=
 that he would only give me 1 years guarantee.

Is it suppose to be like this?That Compact Flash Cards only have one=
 or two years guarantee while PCMCIA cards have lifelong?

Barry so you have both. This is what I am trying really to avoid. It's
amazing that
we can't move to a machine that gives us what the LX has plus more.

Thanks to everyone for their input, perhaps i've lead
you all astray though.  I can connect to the palmtop
OK... the problem is that it loses connection during
file transfers.  At that point I have to re-initiate a
connection, which it does fine.  Sometimes file
transfers go without a hitch.. but more often than
not.. I lose the connection and have to start over
again.

Thanks,
Buzz

Thanks. With that, and Ed's file size test, I can relax now.

The change in policy may just be reflecting that the falling prices for digital
storage are paid for, to some extent, by backing off on the warranty period.

In actual fact, many of us seem to have had very few problems with our PC cards
(PCMCIA or CF).  I myself have generally replaced them for higher capacity at
lower cost as my needs increased and the prices dropped... so longevity may be a
moot point for others like myself.

1.5  years ago I bought a PCMCIA memory card and got lifelong guarantee.Now,when
I wanted to buy a Sandisk Compact Flash Card,the salesman said that he would
only give me 1 years guarantee.

Is it suppose to be like this?That Compact Flash Cards only have one or two
years guarantee while PCMCIA cards have lifelong?

Larry

I just saw this message, it's running now.  So far, it found "free
sector count invalid" - it's doing a physical sector by sector scan
now (it takes forever).

I think I've done this before and the write failed after so many files
were written to it--a few files were written out to it.  This card is
about 3-5 years old by now if not older.  I wonder if the format wears
out over the years or something.

I have everything backed up and am not opposed to rebuilding it from
scratch (low level format, fdisk, format, etc., if that is the procedure,
I'm trying to learn the procedure as it came, original brand new, allready
setup, etc. with stacker on it--I know how to install stacker though).

I'll keep you posted.  If you can add to my knowledge about this, I'd
appreciate it though.

FLASH unlike SRAM does eventually wearout. I read something on a web page
once that explained it. From what I understand, it literally takes =
hundreds
of thousands, if not millions of write to eventually wear it out.

     Slow down your baud rate, use an AC adaptor and sacrifice a
     fattened calf. I had the same problems and (except for the
     sacrifice) that helped. I got tired of the hassle and now use
     X-Finder with XFS. That combo is rock stable and much faster with
     Win98 and NT4.

Hi All,


If you didn't know the 100/200LX has its own version of Fdisk, its called

Yes, please send them to me! I searched a long time for a good backup
strategy, but I did never find one that was secure enough.
Your strategy seems to be good - especially the ability to rename files
to the today's date with ND sounds interesting!

Hello again.

I've had/seen the "free sector count invalid" message before. Usually
"check" or CHKDSK will get rid of it. However.... while I don't think
you "wore it out", you might have corrupted it to the point Stacker
could not repair it. I also found that installing Stacker 4, made for a
far more robust card, than the version 3.0 that was supplied (with my
cards anyway).

So.. I'd suggest a format, and a reinstall of Stacker. And the best
description of that installation I've seen, was in several old issues of
the Palmtop Paper.

You can find a nice page on installing DOSShell on the LX here:

Speaking of which, is Walter (who made above mentioned page) still on the
list? haven't seen him post for a long time.

That sounds like a double speed upgrade without the special screen driver
loaded.  My 32Meg machine has a line like this at the beginning of my
config.sys file located on my original 2 Meg internal drive (NOT on the =
32 Meg
drive)

device=3Dc:\spd31.exe

This is the drive that ends up swapped to drive F:, but it is drive C: =
when the
reboot starts so this config.sys is the one the palmtop uses.

If you boot with a flashcard in the PCMCIA slot, the palmtop will use the
config.sys file there, so that file would need a reference to the speed =
driver.

The problem stems from the fact that mail to hplx.net doesn't work for the
moment, and the list.hplx group was subscribed as an hplx.net address.  I
changed over to hplx.org and with luck it will start working again.

I just wanted to add here that the PE you are referring to is
NOT PE (PalEdit) from D&A Software. We never charged anything
for our PE.

Your message never made a reference to our software except the
name PE, and I wanted make sure no one made a mistake about
our software.

I believe the WinCE is "half VGA" i.e. 640x240 - that would be
a lot closer to 200LX than the normal VGA.

Your theory is probably right: get these doodads out to market

The cookie limitation is Yahoo's requirement. They feel they
must put more than cookie in your machine while you read Web
email. HV only allows one.

But I think the issue is larger: Most Web-based email uses
Javascript or Java. Neither is part of the HTML Specifications
and thus unsupported by HV.

But here comes my $64,000 question back to you: If you already
log into the internet (well, you are able to use HV!) then why
not use Post/LX to go to the mailbox itself and d/l your email
then read it offline? Presumably being online costs you money
and minimizing this is "goodness" :) ...

You do NOT need to make a long distance phone call in order to
reach your POP3 mailbox - just use whatever connection got you
into HV then Post/LX will use the internet to open your
mailbox, even across the continent or the other side of the
world, grab your email and log off.

Yahoo seems ok because I believe they give you their POP3
server name so you can access it directly, provide login id
and password and download email, not just access via Web. You
may want to check on that, though, my info is a bit weak here,
I don't keep track of these services.

Enjoy!

Correct.  For the moment I'm not sure why the list.hplx group isn't
working; I'm out of town and won't be back until tomorrow or Saturday at
the earliest.  I suggest switching back to e-mail temporarily until I can
figure out why posts aren't getting through.

Everybody should change from news.hplx.net to news.hplx.org for the time
being as well.  It's the same machine and the same groups, messages, etc.,
but news.hplx.org shoudl work a little bit faster for the moment.

  The answer is that some ISP(s), to prevent spammers from using someone
else's address to send email (and yes, this IS an epidemic problem), will
refuse to accept SNMP connections from anywhere except their dial-up ports.
In simpler terms, even if you have an account, you can't just connect to
their SMTP server from anywhere...

  Most of us do.  Even though most ISP(s) do allow picking up mail using
POP, but don't allow submitting via SMTP unless they have some way of being
somewhat sure you are who you claim to be.  There's no technical reason why
it can't be done, but there are enough people out there who spoil things for
the rest of us that the ISP administrators have taken the simple way out and
simply closed and locked the mail window that you can get to from outside
their domain...

  Browser-based email providers, on the other hand seem much less concerned
about people using aliases and have login -plus- cookie-based security.  You
can send email using most web browsers fairly easily from anywhere on the
planet.  They do, however use cookies to maintain a low-level security from
screen to screen once you've "logged-in" and rather than piggy-backing a
dozen parameters for various things into one cookie so WE can use our
favorite palmtop browser <G>, they use separate cookies for each thing they
need to provide their service.

Hi....

Don't know if you got an answer by now.... but www.netaddress.com
allows Pop access as a $12.00 a year premium service. I had some
trouble with it a year or so ago - mostly speed related problems, but it
might me worth a try now. Since it's a Pop mailer, WWW/LX should work.
I can't vouch for it - I use it for forwarding only.

Also... if you have an American express card, you can get the premium
services free @ www.amexmail.com (run by netaddress).

Thank goodness you told us, I was planning to try it and it would have broken my 100%
1338 game streak!
...Now I've gone and started the game, I may just have to have a game or 5 <grin>

Anyway GREAT game, I'm totally addicted. I try to limit myself to 5 games at a time!

Thanks Mitch, it does appear that all went well. The next update should =
not
take quite as long to complete, especially since the super.gdb is fixed.

I haven't used Infoselect in a few months, so here's a question:

If you can see the base.wd file, and your new file in Filer, can you also
see the user.wd file?

When you created your new file, did you accidently rename your user.wd. Is
the information hidden away in your new file?  Did you accidently move it?
If you accidently erased it, try Filer unerase or undelete and see if you
can find the file and rescue it.

If you accidently erased user.wd, try creating it a new one with nothing in
it. I think I created a file in memo, just saving a blank file as *.wd, and
it worked in InfoSelect. See if that allows you to recreate what you had.

Or, could you make a copy of your good file, naming the copy user.wd. See
if you can open that file, erasing all the current info and recreating the
user.wd info.

Worst case, go to the Infoselect web site (www.miclog.com) and find the
pages that support Infoselect for DOS. There may be some hints there, or at
least a phone number to call or email address for support.

Hope some of this helps.

Alan

Subject:      Re: nightly backup strategy, part 2 of 2

Hi Robert Hocking,

If it wouldn't be much trouble, I'd appreciate it if you would send me a
copy of ND.EXE, too.  I've been looking for a util that could do that.
I've struggled unsuccessfully to accomplish what that util does with
standard batch file commands.

I was partially successful but I ended up with one or more trailing
unidentified character(s) in my filename (formatted like "02-30-99 .arc")
that kept it from conforming to the standard 8.3 DOS format.

Please send it to my JVANDER800@AOL.COM email address though, since this
one (Juno) doesn't accept file attachments.

Oh, also please don't send the DELTREE util with it.  My AOL account can
handle attachments of only one file per email.

I have my LX setup as an actual serially connected node on my home
network, and backup my systems automatically every morning to a removable
optical disk that is seen as just another hard drive.  I developed some
unique batch files and use misc utils to do it all just like you are
doing, so if you are interested in a copy of my homemade backup batch
files to explore, just let me know and I'll send them to you in a private
email.

Cheers!

BTW, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one in the state of Michigan
who uses an HP200LX and participates on this list. :-)

Yes. Files are compatible. When you start a new game, you now have the
following options:

* a game at random from the LX's classic list of 1 000 000 games.
* a game at random from any of the Windows 32000 games.
* a specific game from the LX's list of 1 000 000.
* a specific game from Windows' 32000.
* a game you've tried but haven't finished.

In the history file, Windows games numbers are preceded by "MS".

... and I thought I was good in Freecell.

Thanks to Curtis for this version of Freecell, which came just in time
for my new 200LX purchased yesterday. After years of wandering down the
wrong paths, mainly because the LX machines were always out of my price
range, I finally got one cause a local shop has them for sale. I think
I got a good deal too: 200LX 4MB ($150), HP 20MB Flash ($45), OmniGo
Connectivity Pack ($7).

        Sure, they wrap, but I can view 'em fine. I enjoy reading books
on the palm at
        least as much as I did on the LX with VR, maybe slightly more.

        > Can you run DOS software.

        Nope. Haven't even bothered trying. For all I know there may be
an 8086
        emulator out there, and it may even be able to interpret DOS
executables at
        some appreciable fraction of the speed of an LX, I wouldn't
know. The software
        I want is available native for the Pilot, so I don't need to try
and run DOS
        versions. Stuff's available for the pilot that's not available
for DOS, too,
        like ssh.

I could've sworn I had seen a utility somewhere that would add all the

.abd file that you just merged into your appt book.)

I can't seem to find it now. Does anyone know where I can find something

Sorry about the confusion.  I was replying to the post that referred to PE,
the editor that came with WordPerfect office.

I didn't think about the coincidence of names until I saw your response.  If
I had I would have made the distinction clear.

Just so everyone understands, the PE I talked about was not the one from D&A
Software.  It came from WordPerfect.

Reduce your baud rate settings until you have no connect interruptions any more.

Apparently there are several people interested in the cheaper 200LX's
that I mentioned earlier in another thread. So I'll just post here for
all: if you're interested in getting one of these through me, please
hurry! and mail me, so I can go grab them from the shop this weekend.
I'm not a computer shop, and I'm not in this to make a profit.

Prices in US$, shipping/handling extra. I'll ship anywhere in the world.

The units are never used and in perfect condition. Some of the boxes are
slightly messed up, but everything inside are new (shrink-wrapped
manuals, 200LX in sealed bag). I'll test each one at the shop to make
sure they work. They probably all have SG7**** serials, and are the
EURO ENGLISH version.

200LX 4MB - $150 (10+ available)
20MB Flash card - $50
OmniGo Connectivity Kit - $7
200LX Connectivity Kit - $24

They also have some calculators, OmniGo stuff, different sized
Flash cards and RAM cards (for the HP48SX). If you want those
mail me and I'll check the prices.

Sorry Jan, but I'm not able to interpret your natural language (is it

I just signed up for Yahoo mail (via my desktop). Works just fine on my desktop,
but on my palmtop I can only download messages, not upload. I am guessing that
Yahoo is maintaining security by using cookies, since I am not using Yahoo as a PPP
connection.

Is there any way to get the palmtop to upload mail to Yahoo???

I have already answered this in the HPHAND forum on CompuServe
as follows:

How are those read erros getting reported?  By DOS or by
Stacker or by an application program?

If the card is Stacked, then you need to run the CHECK program
in the ACE or STACKER directory.  This will detect and correct
and errors in the Stacker File System.  Then you shoud run
CHKDSK to detect and correct any DOS File System errors.  Run
each of these a couple of times to make sure they come up
clean.

So, if there is just a soft error with a corrupted file system,
then these tools should fix it and you are running again.  But
if there is a hard error on the card, then I guess you are out
of luck because ACE Technologies is out of business.

I would add that there is a format command in the ROM of the
100/200LX.  You would run it like this:

d:\dos\format a:

Make sure you boot first and use the Alt key option and choose
one of the options to NOT load the startup files.  This will
give you a clean boot with no drivers loaded, not even
Stacker.  Then the format command will erase everything on the
card and make it fresh without being Stacked.  If you want to
Stack it again, then that is a different and much longer story
that you will need to check the ACE documentation and program
that came with the card.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

There always seems to be concern about battery life with
Double speed and larger RAM models of the 200LX.  PCMCIA
modems use a lot of battery juice.  Recently I found out that
Thaddeus has gotten some Zoom Pocket 14.4 modems.  I have
been using one of these for yrs. on road trips.  It uses it's
own 9v battery so there is no effect on the palmtop battery.
It's about 2/3 the size of the palmtop and weights about 5/6
oz.  I have a custom 12 in. cable from Dave Shier that makes
the whole thing quite compact.  I think Thaddeus might have
some of those cables also.  For me this is a great
combination as it has send, receive and battery low lights
and leaves the PCMCIA slot open for flash or other cards.
Radio Shack carries a 9v lithium battery for $6.99 that is
usually used for long life in smoke detectors.  It is a tight
fit but I get up to 3 months use with 2 online runs a day.
Alk 9v are fine too with shorter life.    =Bob=

Carol,

  I picked up a CD at CompUSA for $10 with Organizer 2.11, if memory
serves me.  The synch from the Intellisync product works fine with it.

Hi Bob:

I recently purchased one of these from an individual, however, I'm having
some problems.

After I hear it go through the hand shaking it immediately errors to "unable
to establish call".  I also have a megahertz 14.4 PCMCIA modem and it works
fine.  I Know that I have to change the com port and I do, but it still
won't connecet.  I hear the dial tone an the the data burst but then is
errors.  It's probably a incorrect string, but I don't know the proper one.
If you can look at your hayes.mdn file (if thats the one your using) and
send me the string I would appreciate it.
Tony

You should be able to use the smtp server of the isp you are dialed
into.  Most don't care what your return address is, as long as you
are logged into them.  That is why GP keeps the smtp server in the locale
rather than the mailhost, so no matter which mail account you send mail
from the currently selected isp's smtp server will be used.

If anyone is looking for a good windows ssh client, try terterm. It has ssh
and ssl plugins and works great. You can find it at www.tucows.com. Go to
the home page for the plugins. I just wish we had a client like this for the
LX.

Thanks for asking.

It's slated for print (6"x9" hardback size, soft cover) sometime spring of
2000.  We're supposed to finish the final edit anytime.   I'd initially
gotten an offer with tentative date of Christmas, but it's gotten the usual
delays that impede most book releases.  The new title will be _Terminal
Fantasies_.  The e-book server the publisher put up is still under
construction, I'm told.  I don't know when it will be available
electronically for purchase.

Visit http://www.homestead.com/davischapel  for more info and other stories
coming.  I'll post here when I know the final date and details.

I have heard that it would take too much processing power to run an ssh
client on the 200LX, but ... anybody have any hard data on that?  I'd sure
like one...

I know that they're available for windows CE. I forget where but I saw a
page for a beta version. I guess the processing power will depend on the
algorithm used. I belive that ssh gives you a choice of different ciphers.

The best way is to get LXPIC by Stephan Peichl.  Go to the SUPER sie:
http://www.palmtop.net/supernew.html
and enter lxpic in the search box.

LXPIC will show pcx, gif, jpg, bmp, and icn files, and it's only about
15 Kbytes.

Greetings - I am new to the 200LX. I'd like to begin syncing it with my
desktop applications at home and at work.  A first task is trying to
figure out how to transfer the data from my current phone and address book
application to MS-Outlook and then to the 200LX.  The program, however, is
an old DOS one: Hold Everything.  Help on MS-Outlook instructs me to
export the data to CSV (comma-separated values) and then import to
Outlook.  In searching for information about CSV, however, I can find lots
of references to importing CSV but nothing so far on converting a DOS
*.DAT file to CSV.  Would someone please point me in the right direction?
Thank you.  KJM

It's the Harper-Collins Electronic Dictionary & Thesaurus v1.5
for DOS. I bought it from Thaddeus about two months ago. Comes
on a single CD with DOS and Windows versions. Thaddeus also
pack a slip of paper with installation advice for the LX.
Basically, installation means copying most of the files to the
LX. Cost was $59.95 + p&p.

It runs well on my DS 8MB in a software carousel session. I've
just tried it without SC running from system manager. It needs
350k to run, so on a standard unit, you'll need to close down
most, if not all, running apps. Installation was simple &
painless.

A full install takes about 9.5MB, but you can leave out the
pronounciation file (~530K) and/or etymology file (~840K)
and/or thesaurus file (~965K) if you want.

It's a _UK_ English dictionary, but has entries for US
spellings too. It's pretty comprehensive. As well as standard
entries, it also has places, people, dates, pronounciation and
etymology. I feel it's quite like a baby encyclopaedia. It
hasn't let me down yet when I've looked things up, some of
which I thought were pretty obscure, and unlikely to be in
there.

As well as the dictionary & thesaurus, it can do wildcard
searches & basic anagrams. If you have a lot of time on your
hands, it can do reverse searches, i.e. every entry which has
given words in the definition.

Two criticisms:

1) I find the use of screen space disappointing. It's in a
half-height screen TSR format even when running as a
standalone. Thaddeus say there's not been much luck running
the TSR version on the LX and I haven't tried.

2) The menu interface is slightly clumsy, and I think it could
have been better thought out.

My verdict: one of my better buys.

Hi Curtis,

<<I've just posted the latest version (3.0) of LX FreeCell. New features
include:>>


One small humble suggestion. On Freecell (and other games), I wish there was
a default that you got by pressing Enter and/or Space.  So when the New Game
FreeCell screen came up, it would be a lot easier to press space (or enter)
than R for random deal.

Similarly, in Yahtzee, default to 1 player.

In 10K, make human default. Use Enter (or space) as an alternative of f7 for
first and subsequent rolls.

Another feature you could implement in Klondike would be to let the user
type numbers as well as fkeys.  To move from f9 to f7 I could press 9 and 7
which is easier to get to, then the fkeys.  That same feature would be great
in Freecell, except you already have a useful use for numbers. One way to
implement the change would be to have the user press shift and the number
key to display where the cards are for that number.  (This function is not
used that often as moving columns which is performed each move).

In general there is no particular format implied by a `*.DAT' extension
in DOS. So describing how to convert out of it is difficult without
either a sample of its content or a description of the actual
format.

I find that PERL is very handy for handling conversion into and out of
CSV format. In general it makes the conversions quite simple.

I agree on the HC dictionary being a better buy. I also own the American
Heritage dictionary and find it less useful. It's much slower and more
limited but it does use the whole screen. I only paid $25 for it used so I

I downloaded the IrdA program of Andreas Garzotto and tried to connect from
the LX to the Siemens S25 via IR port. The program recognizes the mobile
phone correct as "Siemens S25", but breaks with the error message "could not
establish LMP connection".

What's necessary?

I bought the S25, because someone on the list mentioned it as one of the
LX-compatible mobile phones.

The best way of doing this is to buy intellisync. It will sync your apps
into outlook
and many others. You simply export from one and sync into your LX.

Hi Listers.

I was just looking at the palmtop.com site, and it
mentions 'global email access'.
Does this mean I can use it anywhere in the world,
i.e. with local numbers, or is it always a dial
to one number in the US? Please be gentle with me
if this is a stupid question

Cheers,
Roger (pathetically hoping for a miracle)

Agreed.  This would be nice.  Of course, the added wear and
tear on the space bar would be a con.

By the way, I would like to publically thank Curtis for his
substantial contributions to the 200LX community.

Unless the policy has changed lately, palmtop.com has
a single dial-up number that is long distance from most
of the world.  If you have local dial-up available, you
*can* access your palmtop.com account via POP3 after
paying a one-time $60 registration fee.

My two cents ... I have three dictionaries (English dictionaries, that is)
that run on the palmtop.  The Standard American Heritage Dictionary 3.0,
the Deluxe American Heritage Dictionary 3.0, and the Collins dictionary
from Thaddeus.  My favorite is the Collins dictionary, for completeness,
speed, and features.  The fact that it only uses half the screen is
annoying ... but it works a lot faster than either AHD.  The Deluxe
version of the AHD is more complete, with biographical information and
addresses of colleges and other places that the Collins dictionary doesn't
have, but for strict dictionary and thesaurus features the Collins
dictionary is wonderful, and so much faster than  either AHD that it's no
contest.

I also have an older version of the AHD, but it's practically unusable
compared to version 3.0.

This is a problem inherent in the 200LX databases. For some reason, when the
LX opens a database file it writes to it and keeps the file open. I think
that if you crash a bunch of times, that file gets screwed.

<rant>
If you ask me, it's the absoulute worst part of the built in applications.
Why the hell should these files be so limited in size and get screwed over
every so often!? I make mutiple backups of my databases and still wind up
losing my stuff!
</rant>
<breathe deep>


There's a program called dbcheck that does a good job of telling when
databases are screwed up. You then have a chance to export the file to a new
one. There's also a program call garlic that helps you fix databases.

Thanks for asking.

It's slated for print (6"x9" hardback size, soft cover) sometime spring of
2000.

Visit http://www.homestead.com/davischapel  for more info and other stories
coming.  I'll post here when I know the final date and details.

Hi Davis,

Your book is great!

You know what makes the book "a must read" for me is that I use to dream
about being a FBI / Secret Service Agent.

Boy! I wish I could write/tell a story like "Terminal Fantasies" also known as
"A.K.A".  I just got to have this book in hard copy.


Thanks,

Just a little tip for all of you people wanting to upload e-mail: there's a
zillion anonymous SMTP remailers out there. All you need to do is find one. One
way to do this is using a program like NetMap (I think that's the name) that
will zip through an IP address range and find an address with the SMTP (25) port
active. Then you can telnet to that address/port and see if a password is
needed. If not, then you're in business. For instance, Yahoo does have anonymous
remailers that you can hook to your mail program to send e-mails.

Oh yes,
If you go take a look at
        http://www.ampersoft.co.uk/mike/hp200lx.html
You will find a screen shot I made when I broke the 1000 barrier!
I'll try to do another one when I reach 1500.

I don't play quite as much as I used to. I changed jobs and no longer have a 25
minute train journey each way.

That was very useful, in that I could complete 5 to 10 games on that journey.

Now I only get a few snatched minutes every now and again, so I don't often get to
complete even five at a time.

By the way it's now 1340 -- I only played two games after sending that email <grin>

Actually, it doesn't keep the file open. When the app is open, it
saves an abbreviated data file to the disk, and closes it, each time
you change something. All data is there, but the lookup table which is
used to quickly index around the file is not kept on the disk while
the app is open. The file is, however, made read-only. If you reboot
with the app open, it should be safe, <empahsis> as long as a write
was not taking place at the moment your rebooted </emphasis>. You
might have noticed that if you open an app after a reboot like this,
it takes longer. This is because it has to re-build the lookup table.

I haven't seen any of these corruptions myself (I've only had my 200LX
since 1994), but it seems like data files that are accessed on a flash
instead of on the internal e-disk would be more susceptible, because
of the battery stressing of writing to flash memory. (Interesting
aside: flash takes more current to write because you're making charged
sub-atomic particles have enough energy to "tunnel" into an insulator,
where they logically should not be found, but Heisenberg's Uncertainty
Principle says that there's a finite chance that one can disappear
from the conductor and re-appear magically inside the insulator.)

The built-in apps were designed to be very small in size, and to
survive a reboot if the app was not closed. They did a good job with
this, but probably should have had more checking for corruption than
just puking when it can't find a record that was referenced somewhere
in the file. I wrote DBCHECK hoping to fill this gap. If you use
DBCHECK as part of your backup strategy, I hope it would eliminate
almost all the problems of corrupted backups.

The IR.EXE program available at www.dasoft.com is not updated to work
with the S25, only WWW/LX is.

This works for the multi-lingual Collins dictionary, but unfortunately
not for the English dictionary (which I think is an excellent
product otherwise!).

I think that PERL is the best solution, but the word 'simple' can
not be used for non-programmers (regexp etc.). In fact, it is not of
any use for a non-programmer.

If this is still available, I'd like to order one.

Please let me know where to send the money order.  Thanks.

Does anyone has tried the dual-band GSM Sagem 850 with the hp200?
I'm aware that the 750 is a good choice, but the new GSM is
a dual band phone, and it is also lighter and much durable in
stndby-mode.
You can see it on the sagem site:

I thought about doing something like this with the 100LX and then thought=

better of it. The trick with speed-reading ("reading" is the wrong word t=

use) is to train the eyes and brain to take a snapshot of a page, store i=

in short term memory and let the brain process the info there. =


 The screen of the Palmtop would be the limiting factor. You can put a lo=

more information on a page of a newspaper than you can on an LX screen. Y=

can also put a lot more info on an SVGA screen. =


 When I taught Evelyn Woods Speed Reading (does that date me?) I could
process the daily paper in about 10 minutes.

On a related topic - what would it take to set up a cc:mail
server? Obviously software & hardware are needed (is
there an affordable source for LX mail compatible server
software), but what would it take to set up such a system?

What speed system would be needed for a 1-2 dial-up
user system? Ram/HD? Cost of cc:Mail server software?
Level of difficulty in configuring server for dial-up users and
internet access?

This is more of a curiousity than a real plan, unless it can
be done relatively cheaply... This is not an elaborate plan
to try and save $60...

My experience - I bought a new 32MB DS unit,  to be shipped to Hong Kong. I
then had a sudden business trip to the US. I sent a message to Hal asking
if the item could be shipped to my hotel in the US, despite the short
notice. Hal was travelling, but  his staff was kind enough and able to ship
the item by express courier to my hotel well in time before my check-out. I
am grateful that I had the new unit with me to occupy my time on the 16
hour flight from O'Hare to Hong  Kong.

First. as has been stated, Net-Tamer is shareware. You can
download a copy for no cost, but you should pay the
registration fee if you use it for more than a short time, 30
days I believe.

I am a registered user of Net-Tamer and WWW/LX. I have not
used either for Web access, only newsgroups and e-mail.  I
started with Net-Tamer because at that time, WWW/LX did not
support e-mail or newsgroups. Net-Tamer does work on both my
100LX and my desktop, but the user interface is hard to
navigate. It is also less flexible than WWW/LX. (For example,
I don't know if Net-Tamer can connect to different news
servers during a single run, as WWW/LX can. The main
advantages of Net-Tamer over WWW/LX are that it runs on a
desktop without PALRUN or a similar program and it is less
expensive than WWW/LX. ($39 vs. $89 I believe.) Also, one
registration fee gives you the right to use all three versions
of Net-Tamer: 1) palmtop, 2) XT, and 3) 386 & above. (I ran
the XT version on my 100LX so I could switch to larger fonts -
but then I would lose part of the screen.) and I have never
had to pay a second registration fee for an upgraded version.
A number of people are developing or have developed new user
interfaces for Net-Tamer. I have not had a chance to test any,
and I believe the better ones would be shareware also - adding
to the cost of a Net-Tamer based system.

If you access the Internet from your LX, then I recommend
WWW/LX. It supports the multiple font feature of the LX while
Net-tamer does not, and it has a much better user interface.
(Not that the user interface couldn't stand a bit of
improvement - hint - hint !)

It would be nice if more than 11 data lines can be used for data.
It's that way to conform with the LX, I presume, but...
There are a lot of other annoying glitichs that can be

I assume that the NT display function is just a direct 1:1 mapping of
the `screen space' present in the 200, and that anything that would
attempt to do something more complex than a very simple 1:1 emulation
of the 200 would be destined for disaster.

In other words, I doubt if much of the 200's code would properly adapt
if someone happened to be able, by hook or crook, to change the 200's
screen size (i.e. make it larger), so I'm not surprised that emulation
in NT is very simple.

Also, I'm afraid I don't have a clue about what the 200 CPack is
programmed in. I always assumed that it was probably just a dressed up
version of the emulator that they used when they were building and
debugging the machine...

Barry:

Has anybody mentioned to use a pcmcia modem you need to also use the
cic100 program found in d:\bin, I believe.  See the sample/rom
autoexec.bat which shows how to load it.

My experience is that most ISPs who care about security will
let you access POP3 first (which requires identification and
authentication in the form of login and password) then allow
you to send via the SMTP server.

Post/LX has supported this feature for quite sometime in the
form of adding a line in the email folder section like so:

POPFirst=1

Hope this helps.

There is a good technical reason. The SMTP protocol does not
include authentication. However, most reputable ISPs use a
circumvention -  See above!

When a database opens, the index is read from the disk to
memory. Any particular record you view is also read.

Then the index is removed from the disk file. The reason is
EXCELLENT: if you manipulate the index in memory - say delete
some records - that is recorded in the index, but not in the
physical file until you close. If the memory is lost for some
reason (you reboot for some reason...) then the file on disk
is whole, minus the index which will be easily built next time
you open the file.

The rant has nothing to do with the index issue. While people
here complain about frequent database screw ups, I and many
others have the opposite experience: Our databases are rock
solid. I believe your databases break because of something yo
do in using them, not some inherent weakness.

Frequent backups and generational backups are better tools
IMHO.

Go into Setup (CTRL-Filer) and Select F4 for Owner information and F8 for

LXPIC is a more flexable choice

If you can get your data into CSV format, you could import it directly =
into the
HP200LX.  Unless you need thew data in Outlook as well, moving it directly
would be easier.  Visit www.palmtop.net and look for a program called =
DBLOAD.
It will import CSV files into the built-in database applications (includin=

phone but not appt).  There is another program named something like =
abdbio that
can do appt files, I think.

Funny that you should bring this up.  I have been a diabetic
since 1992, on oral medication, then started on insulin in
February of this year.  I have a lot I can share with you.  The
software that you are looking for does not exist, however I am
more than willing to share my current methods with you.  Email me
privately, and I will give you a head full of stuff to start
with.

My BIG thanks to Everyone associated with maintaining S.U.P.E.R. !!!

It is one of many resources that make owning my 200LX a wise decision.
Normally owning a (soon to be) orphaned product puts you at a
disadvantage but the strong contribution from the many non-HP sources
still makes the 200LX a powerful tool.

Powerful enough that I finally decided to upgrade and I'm typing this on
my new 32M 200LX.  What a big step up from my 4M 200LX + 10M flash card!
The old unit will make a good backup unit (that I hope I'll never need).

I didn't take everyone's advice though, I got my 32M without the double
speed feature.  I don't think it's a mistake (yet).  The new 32M C:
drive is a bit faster than the old 4M.  Also I have everything on the C:
drive so I don't have any performance disadvantage writing to the flash
card.  I can also use the expanded memory driver to provide Software
Carousel swap space and that too adds a small speed increase.

The only trouble I had was moving from the old unit to the new one.  I
had everything shoehorned into the limited resources of the old unit so
it didn't easily move straight onto the 32M drive.  I ended up
reinstalling a bunch of stuff in order to take advantage of the single,
bigger, disk.

My thanks also to Mack and Thadeus for making it possible for me to
upgrade at all!

Cheers... Russ

I've won all but the 1 known impossible game but I'm only at 589
games.  For what it's worth, FC stats say I'm at 100% too because
rounding errors make that 1 game, out of 589, insignificant.

There are some Diabetes FAQ files posted to news.answers that might be
worth checking out.  Good luck with your Diabetes; I don' have it but my
girl friend does.  I even had a cat that had it; and yes, I gave it a shot
every day.  :-)

Robert;
              I, too, found out that I have Diabetes Type 2 only 2 weeks
ago.  I've been looking around for useful software for windows and
especially DOS for the HPLX200, 5MB platform.  I've found a couple of
recipe/menu generators that both use MealMaster data files.  I am using the
Bayer DEX Glucometer and have D/L'd their Winglucofax program and ordered
the serial data cable for it.  ...don't know if it'll be useful as yet, but,
it ought to take care of my need to record and trend my blood sugar by the
looks of things.

What have you been able to find that's useful for you?  TIA.

Funny that you should bring this up.  I have been a diabetic
since 1992, on oral medication, then started on insulin in
February of this year.  I have a lot I can share with you.  The
software that you are looking for does not exist, however I am
more than willing to share my current methods with you.  Email me
privately, and I will give you a head full of stuff to start
with.

There is a shareware program called Diabetes Tracking System available at
www.filelibrary.com in the DOS collection under Health. I don't know if it
works on the LX, but it might be worth a look. You have to register to
download, but it's free. There's also a number of other files that may be
applicable (search for diabetes).

What sort of tracking do you have in mind?  www.palmtoppaper.com has sold =
a
program called Personal Food Analyst.  It will let you type in what you =
are
eating and it will give you a running total of calories, carbohydrates,
vitamins etc for the day.  This can help you track your diet and be sure =
you
are not missing your goals.

You, or someone, could put together a 123 spreadsheet to track blood =
sugar test
results and allow averages, highs and lows, and graphs to be displayed.

I'm a diabetic too. There is a 95LX program in www.castleweb.com
on one of their pages. I never could make heads from tails about its
workings.

Some months ago someone in Spain asked in this list about the
SDK for the HP200LX because he was trying to develop a glicemia
tracking program for the palmtop. I don't know how the work is
going and don't have his address handy.

I have used the HP200 to keep my daily BG records for the past several
years. The 200 makes it easy to average and graph the data, if that's
of interest to you (it was of interest to me at the beginning of my use,
but over the years I do that less as I have come to understand the
numbers better).

For me, simpler is better, so my records are:
   Date, Time, BG value, A couple of  averages, Text describing anying
   unusual about the period leading up to the measure (unusual exercise,
   eating, travel, etc.)

Ed,

I am sure that a program could improve reading speed on a palmtop by the
factor of 3-5 for less experienced readers!

I stumbled over Speedreading by accident:

On a Website there was some kind of a JAVA app that flashed text "word by
word" quickly.
I discovered, that with it I could read texts up to a speed of 800 words per
minute - without any practice! Not bad compared to my 230 wpm I did on
typical book pages.

This experience motivated me to have a closer look at speed reading
techniques. I worked through Buzan's book about the topic to improve my
skills to read _paper_ based metrial.

But on computers - especially the Palmtop - the reading speed is still
limited by the screen size and -format. Vertical Reader might help a bit,
but one would still read texts similar to the "paper way".

However a little program that would parse a text doc for you and flash it's
content quickly would definitely improve the speed enormously as the reader
doesn't have to move his eyes and the computer would force the reader into
high speed without subvocalization almost instantanously without practicing.

Please have a look at AceReader (on download.com) or the program I referred
to in my first posting.

Regards,
Tom

The biggest problems with encrypted books is in my opinion

- you cannot legally lend one to friends or family
- you have to have access a supported platform the rest of you life
- you cannot copy text to paper/computer (a must for reference books)
- with non-encrypted books, I often continue reading when I get home on
  my desktop (particularly when getting near the end of a book)

I have bought a few encrypted SciFi books from www.PeanutPress.com for
my Palm III (please, please, don't throw me off the list! Honesty, I
just looked at it in the shop and somehow I happened to buy it without
really noticing).

PeanutPress supports Palm/Handspring and WinCE (if you want to read
books on a machine with only hours of battery life), but these machines
are not forever. If PeanutPress stops trading, no new platforms will be
supported and the books will one day be lost.

I can understand that the publishers want encryption, but as a customer
I want a guarantee that I can read the books the next 40 years (how long
does your average PDA last?). Under the present conditions, I don't
think I will make a large library of encrypted ebooks. One solution
would be that all readers could read each others books. I have at the
moment four readers on my Palm: TealDoc, To-go, Zdoc and PeanutPress -
that must be enough.

Try  this:
http://search.shareware.com/code/engine/File?archive=garbo-pc&file=educat
ion%2fspreader%2ezip&size=9804

It has a few quirks, but it seems to be the only thing there is for DOS.
And it does work on the palmtop.

Hallo !

I wonder if there is any programm to convert Pocket QUicken Files from
the HP 200 LX to the current Version of Quicken for Windows - Quicken
2000.

Quicken 2000 seams to have no function to import Pocket Quicken files,
or has any one out there found one ?

I know "Kurt" as a German name, used by Swedes too, and
Americans, and many others. Netcom is a very large ISP in the
USA. Swedish email addresses have the ending of ".se".

They always allowed POP3 access to obtain your email - even
for free! What they do not allow is SMTP access to _send_
email.

The question was:

Which allows the person to use HV to access email. I doubt
this exists because for one thing they need to display ads
for revenues and mostly these boards are now driven by
Javascript, which is not part of HTML - and thus unsupported
by HV.

That's a real oldie! :-)

Someone told me it can, but I did not test it :-)

This is a reality for WWW/LX Plus - the upgrade from prior
versions to the current cost $30.00 for a nine months period.

It may happen in the future as well. The amount of work that
was put into the product is staggering and should be
compensated.

I was not aware of NetTamer's interfaces. Good thing to have.
There are some user interfaces to WWW/LX Plus.

Give more! :) Where do you want improvements?

Thanks for the lucid comparison.

I was wondering if you would mind sending me the BIBLE.MAN file that came
with version 6.22 of the program (the manual)?  For some reason, my
installation doesn't have it.   Older versions do.

It seems to me your USER.WD file got corrupted somehow.   Low batteries
during a write to flash, perhaps?
Do you have a good backup?  If not, reinstall IS (after you backup your
.wd files), then copy your old .wd files over your new installation, and
modify the new USER.WD file to reflect your additional files (base.wd
will already be there).

I hope this helps

Thank you Curtis for this great program!

I had several databases with errors that I did not know about, and that
were quickly corrected after a few runs of dbcheck.

Don't know what the original post meant by "standard holidays", but
the .adb file for merging into the appointment book is mostly US
holidays.  It also doesn't include many religious holidays, since
these move from year to year.

Yes, I agree that Americans don't usually know much about world

For disk load you need an

@n "note" which contains the names of all the stacks you have on the
disk.

To wit:

@N User Base Hyper Merge Area Save
Workhome 100 Computer Facts

And here's more:

Load a window stack from disk.

To construct a NEW stack:
  1) Load the USER stack (DLU)
  2) Find window beginning "@N"
  3) Decide on name for new stack
  4) Add new name into "@N" window
     using the Edit command

Ulrich,
Yes, I was referring to US holidays. Sorry... I wasn't thinking about this
being an international list when I posted that question.  {: 

BTW, I found what I was looking for in holidays.zip from the database

Quite honestly, as I copy my a:\ drive to the PC weekly (thank goodness), this is

So, I transferred the file from the PC and now *record not found* is apparent on

Hi Robert and David,

I'm also diabetic (Typ 1, with insuline pump)!
please would you share your methods with me also?
Does anyone of you use the Accutrend DM and connects it with the LX?

daniel

P.S.:
if anyone of you is interested in a program for administrating your
'Basalrate' (don't know the English word for it, sorry) of an insuline
pump, please visit my homapage
http://www.user.tu-berlin.de/~dherbgba

There you'll find 'Basalratenverwalung', a program i wrote for insulin
pump wearers. It's for Windows 95/98, runs not in DOS.

There is an English version of my homepage, but, sorry, neither of the
'Basalratenverwaltung' page nor of the program.

For the benefit of the rest of the list, Aussies & Kiwis have
a historical friendly rivalry (a bit like the U.S.A. and
Canada, I expect).

I'm sure Roger is a good bloke too - and so is his sheep ;-)

Unfortunately, we have not been able to determine what exactly
are the differences in usage or any patterns that would give
perhaps a clue. Very frustrating to all.

I want to use this setup:

Laptop connected to network through a 3Com Etherlink III LAN+33.6
modem in slot 2. Isdnphone connected to desktop. Www/lx running on
card slot 1 through ethernet and desktop to access internet.

I have created a setup to use ethernet according to the manual. I also
run a file called 3celcm.exe which I guess is the packet driver for
the ethernetcard. When I run www/lx I get "No packet driver".

I guess the ethernet setup in www is for running a networkcard in the
slot on the hp only? Can I use the above setup in any way? How can I
tell www/lx that there really are a packetdriver there? Why does www/lx
not find the packet driver? Doess www/lx search for the packetdriver on
the wrong address/irq? I am not sure what interupt/adress space the
3Com card use..

I hope that somebody can help me with this special setup

Thank you for your reply . . . where do you put the @n "note"?

Right now, I can DL, but the narrow window listing the stacks available
shows only @N. The stack I am using is NORM, as indicated at the bottom of
the screen. Unable to load USER, even by typing it in as indicated at the
bottom of the screen, which is non-reactive (does not show any response . .

Hi Alain & List,


What to use a Linear Flash Card in your 100/200LX!

You need MEMCARD.EXE to format and partition the card and
MS-FLASH.SYS installed in your config.sys to run it.

The following line is needed: device=ms-flash.sys

Interesting.  Doesn't work for me.  Maybe it has something to

I'd also be interested in a summary of what has been found out so far about which phones work with the LX, but clearly it needs to be qualified with information like what software can use the phones, and whether it works with a cable, IR etc., whether the modem needs to be in the LX or the phone has a built-in modem etc.

It all seems very complicated but I too may want to change my phone some time, and I need to know if IR and a built-in modem is actually a useful feature.  For example if I can't actually use the IR with the LX, then the phone having it is not very interesting!

How much RAM does the program say that it needs to run?

Well, I've just been diagnosed with Type II diabetes, and I'm going back to
my doctor this week.  He's going to start me on oral medication, along with
the other "life changes" I'm going to have to implement.  So I have no
information on the Accutrend DM so far.  If I run across any software, I'll
be glad to share it with the list.

I tried that 95LX program too, but it didn't work on my 200LX either.  It
kept referring to one of its files being "corrupt or missing".  The file
was present, so apparently it was corrupt.  If I run across any good
software, I'll post it to the list.

Actually, I'm looking for software to do both.  I thought I'd post a
question here first before I started any efforts on my own.  I will most
likely start working on a spreadsheet this week.  I have several
appointments, so I'm sure I can find some time waiting in offices.  <g>

I will look at the Personal Food Analyst.  It sounds like it might do one
of the things I want to do.  Thanks for your input.

I found out just this last Wednesday.  I'm going back to the doctor this
week, and he'll put me on oral medication to start with.  I haven't found
any software just yet for the 200LX, which would be most useful for me
because of its portability.  If I find anything, I'll let everyone on the
list know.

I assume you use Lotus 123 to do this?  I was toying with trying to do this
in the database, but upon reflection calculating blood glucose levels and
tracking them seems more logical in a spreadsheet.  What are your thoughts
(and others) upon the best application in which to do this?

Thanks for you input.

It should no longer matter.  They should both give the exact same results.

Don't know about a bold-only font, but there are a bunch of font
loaders on SUPER.  Try going to:
http://palmtop.net/supernew.html
and do a search on "fonts".  All of these are much easier to read than
the built-in fonts.

Try opening a MaxDOS session, and do MEM - it should show how much free
memory is available.  Should be plenty, unless you have a lot of big
TSRs loaded.  If the progs need EMS memory, there should software
called TREMM on the disk that came with the 8MB machine - it has a doc
with instructions.

  WARNING!!!:  Changing any of these memory parameters will probably erase
your C: ramdisk.  BACK IT UP BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY CHANGES!!

  If you just got the system back and you haven't tweaked the memory
parameters you may have the system set to the default memory configuration
(which usually doesn't give DOS or MAXDOS enough room to work).  Go to the
system setup app (Ctrl+Filer).  Take a look at the "Memory" box on that
screen.  "System RAM" should read 636.  (If it doesn't, let me know...)
Then press F5 and then F8.  (You should be in the "Advanced" screen.  If the
"DOS" field reads 96, this is your problem.  Changing this parameter will
give you more room for DOS apps (and less for built-in's and EXM's).  I have
mine set to 250.

  WARNING!!!:  Changing any of these memory parameters will probably erase
your C: ramdisk.  BACK IT UP BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY CHANGES!!

  Hope this helps...

Ease of data entry with commentary text are the strong suit in database programs
while computed fields and custom graphics are usually the domain of
spreadsheets.

Some programs do both well, but they are usually overkill.

I have a cashflow spreadsheet (that I wrote) that handles daily entries and does
graphs, but it took some skill and time to write.  As a programmer (tho not a
diabetic), a spreadsheet would be my solution if I were to use the LX tools at
hand to write what you're looking for.

Another possibilty would be to confine all the data entry to an LX database and
use a macro to export data to an ad hoc  123 spreadsheet with autoexec macros
that will do the computations and graphcs for you, on demand.  This may be
clumsy or impractical if it takes too long to move the data between database and
spreadsheet.

I assume you use Lotus 123 to do this?  I was toying with trying to do this

This could be the problem.  This controls how much memory MaxDOS can
use.

Not really...  This is only a default allotment.  DOS apps launched
from Filer, or a DOS shell opened from Filer by Menu-Options-DOS will
get all unused memory.  Also in the AppMgr "Add Application" screen,
you can add the "pipe symbol" (|) at the end of the path line.  Used
alone, it gives the app all free memory, followed by a number, it gives
that amount in Kbytes.

Of course with MaxDOS all that makes no difference.

I use 123, and occasionally export `print' files into a DB format if
I ever do anything more sophisticated (rare, these days). I contemplated
linking my BG meter to my 200, but it seems like a lot of work when
all the data I have to transmit is 3 numbers and times / day and when
my BG meter will hold up to 100 values, so I don't even have to do it
every day. Even finding the cable to link them would, IMO, be more
trouble than typing the few numbers involved.

Since some seem to be interested, here's a bit more detail on the
columns in my WorkSheet (I'll use the last line entered as an example
it is row 1901 of the current worksheet)
   (Col A)  @DATE(99,9,25)
   (Col B)  @TIME(17,12,0)
   (Col C)  ($A1901 + $B1901) - @DATE(95,6,20) (This gives date/time as
            `number of days since my first data point' Note that time
             enters as fractions of a day so the value in this case is
             1559.72
   (Col D)  89  BG value
   (Col E)  @SUM($D1901..$D1881)/@COUNT($D1901..$D1881) Moving average
            of last 21 values. At 3 measures/day this is last week's
            average
   (Col F) +$G$1*$F1900 + (1 - $G$1)*$D1901  Exponentially smoothed
           average, cell $G$1 contains 0.9
   (Col G) Text commentary describing anything unusual: Unusual
           exercise, extra large meals, ...

To add a new row, the bottom row is copied, and then I `edit' the
columns A, B and D. Nothing else need be typed. Periodically I use
`RANGE VALUE' to convert blocks of the workspace (_never_ converting
the bottom row, of course) into `values', as this requires much less
storage than the formulae. It's also easy to graph Cols C,D,E,F to
get a picture of how things are going.

Hope this is of use to some...

I've been quite busy, lots of overtime at work, and haven't been keeping
up with the list as much as I'd like.  Also, shamefully, not been using
the LX as much as I used to.  I keep track of my car mileage, hours
worked, occational appointments, and play some games occationally.
Heck, doesn't sound like I'm abandoning 'er I guess, I just don't use it
8 hours a day anymore.  :)

Quite well actually.  I gave it to her while she was busy eating.
Since the shot went into the loose skin at the back of the neck she
didn't feel anything.  The hardest part was getting friends and

solution because it looks like a regular modem. That means that Nettamer, HV

How does that compare to the allpoints card? I think THaddeus used to seel

When I found out I was diabetic I used Lotus on the 200lx to track my blood
sugar.  I think I used a row per day with the date in the first column and
the readings in the next 3 colums.  Something simple like that.  At the
bottom was the average of each column, and I always inserted a new column
for a new day, so the range of the averages would grow with the new row.

I don't think I explained that very well.  I haven't been tracking for a
long time now that it's well under control and I don't think I still have
the spreadsheet.  If you want more info, let me know.

Subject:      Found DOS Software for Diabetes-Logging on 200LX
MIME-version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Well, after some searching and experimenting, I finally found a program for
tracking your blood glucose levels and keeping a daily log of what you eat.
 The name of the program is THE DIABETIC DAILY LOG.  It is a DOS program
which allows you to track your daily blood glucose levels, as well as keep
a log of your meals, snacks, and exercise levels.  It also allows you to
track the times of your daily medications as well.  You can apparently
create and print reports to file or directly to the printer.  It appears
quite easy to use, and moreover, it *will run on the 200lx*!

The author of this program has a web site devoted to it.  The program is
shareware, and available for download.  The web site is
http://members.aol.com/kennzo/tddl.htm .  Registration is only $25 (US),
and the program doesn't appear to be crippled in any way.

Needless to say, I downloaded the program to my 200LX and tried to run it
(after first running it on my desktop).  I instantly noticed that while the
program ran, the colors were far too light for the monochrome CGA screen of
the 200LX.  Remembering that there used to be utilities which allowed such
programs to display on CGA-monochrome monitors, I surfed over to the Super
site in search for such a utility.  Lo and behold, I found a wonderful
little utility called CGAHLP in the Screen file area. This is an excellent
utility which allows one to view color programs in monochrome mode.  After
scanning the documentation and some tinkering with CGAHLP, I found an
option which allows me to see TDDL's screens in an acceptable manner.
(Since I haven't had time to fine-tune the settings of CGAHLP, I have
little doubt that the graphics settings can be fine-tuned even further to
improve the display even more).

Here are some quick instructions for those who want to try out TDDL for
themselves.

1. Download TDDL and CGAHLP into the same directory on the palmtop.  Before
running TDDL on the 200LX, run it on the desktop so you know what the
program looks like.

2. Create a simple batch file like this in your favvorite text editor.  I
called this one d.bat.

d.bat
cgahlp -dmono.dat
tddl
cgahlp -r

What this batch file does is load cgahlp with the datafile mono.dat into
memory, then run TDDL, and then unload CGAHLP from memory once you've
exited TDDL.  I ran this from DOS directly, without System Manager running.
 I haven't had time to play with it under System Manager to see if it will
run.  Hopefully, these instructions will allow those who are interested to
try out TDDL and see if it meets their needs.  I'll post more reactions to
the software as I use it more.

Regards.

David Ball

     When I made the effort, I found the same thing, so even with the help
of Wally's web page, it required some extra steps.  See below:

Since I didn't want to install DOS on my desktop machine (it's already
running Windows 95), I had to perform the steps manually.

directory on your hard drive:

From Disk 1:
CGA.VI_
From Disk 2:
CGA.GR_
CGA.IN_
DOSSHELL.CO_
DOSSHELL.EX_
DOSSHELL.HL_
DOSSWAP.EX_
From disk 3:

2> Use the EXPAND command to de-compress the necessary files to their
destination filenames (consider the lines below a batch file)

EXPAND CGA.VI_ DOSSHELL.VID
EXPAND CGA.GR_ DOSSHELL.GRB
EXPAND CGA.IN_ DOSSHELL.INI
EXPAND DOSSHELL.CO_ DOSSHELL.COM

The Allpoints card can't be used with a 200LX any longer.  I have three of
them and they're basically useless these days without a CE machine.
Grrrr...

I can understand how this interested you. The way I see things we all have
access to a powerful machine the LX. Most if
not all DOS software can run on it. This means many wonderful things are
possible. I have a copy of the software but alas
I have all my stuff in storage due to me hoping to move shortly.

Matt,

Scott told me that all of them are San Disk. He said the one
with the proprietary
label are made by san disk and to look on the back and in
the small print it will say San Disk.

However I have only his word for that. Please let know us
all know if the small print doesn't read San Disk.

Avi,
I agree with you completely. There are a few things I found out for myself that
seem to cause corruption of the appointment database more likely than
others. Among them are:

- I'm removing the old entries from my appointment book monthly. Initially,
  I merged them into an archive database. The archive database got
  corrupted within about half a year.

- I had problems with repeating appointments (weekly or bi-weekly) that did
  corrupt the appointment book on a fairly regular basis when I started to
  delete quite a few of the individual entries (example: a weekly department
  meeting that got called off more often than not). OTOH, there are others
  who claim they never had a problem with this.

Other than that, I never had a problem with appointment book corruption.
BTW. I solved my first problem by converting the monthly removed adb
entries into comma-delimited files with the HP Connectivity Pack. I merge
these files into an archive file (with an editor) and convert the whole file
back to an appointment book again with the HP Connectivity Pack.

Hi, all of the cheap 200LX I was selling are sold. Sorry to disappoint
those who mailed me to order one but haven't even gotten a reply from
me yet. I was only able to buy a limited quantity as these were leftover
stock put on sale and I had to pay cash for them first. And then I got
well over 100 messages wanting to buy them. Sorry again.

BTW, I apologize if I accidentally sent personal mail to the list.
I'm having a lot of trouble with people using non-standard character

I feel compelled to air my complaint about a disk I purchased from Scott
Moore also.

I received my disk in an ordinary #10 business envelope wrapped once with a
sheet of thin paper.  After loading about two files on it it crashed.  I
then re formated it only to get another couple of directories on it before
again crashing.  This time showing only a series of repeating numbers and
signs.  Again I re formated it but this time at the end of the formating
process it terminated with an error msg "formatting terminated unable to
write boot".  I removed the disk (and had a heck of a time of it) and saw
that the disk was bent and had three small bumps protruding from the inside
to the outside.  Apparently the disk had suffered greatly at the hands of
our USPS.  I emailed Scott and his position was "the disk was fine when it
left here.

My unanswered question is why would you send a disk across country  without
insuring it or at least putting it in a bubble pack.  Scott set the price
for shipping at $5.00 and it was mailed with $1.05 worth of stamps.  Surely
$40.00 of insurance from the USPS can't cost too much.  It would seem that
his only concern is that the disk is "working fine when he sends them
doesn't care what shape they're in when you receive them.

I'm sure I've lost my $40.00 but maybe this will keep someone else from
purchasing a $40.00 paper weight.

Tony

I just got this program working, in my first try, I might add ;-). Here is
what you need to do:

Download the program from:

 http://www.childrenwithdiabetes.com/download/hp_d_log.zip

Unzip the file, it will contain two other zip files, "put_on_c.zip" and
"diabete9.zip". The latter is just the source code, and not needed to run
the program.

Unzip "put_on_c.zip" somewhere and move the file "swift!.ovl" on the root
of your C drive (somewhere in the path or "C:\_DAT" might work too, but I
only tried C:\).

Place "diabete9.exm" in C:\_DAT

Make a directory called "c:\diabetes", and unzip the file "diabetes.zip"
into this (or unzip it somewhere else and move the files). Afterwards,
the directory should contain "event.cnf" and two ".dia" files.

Add the exm file to the System Manager (might work with MoreEXM too).

Run the program. You should see a nice little display on the middle of the
screen.

This was all I needed to do. I have no idea if the program is actually
useful, not being a diabetic myself.


Cheers,

Laust

California Digital is a liquidator for many high-end computers
manufacturers.  All equipment is brand new in factory sealed boxes. We
currently have several great  values to share with you:

<**>
One last item of interest is the Fujitsu Poqet PC+ handheld palmtop
computer.  Word processing and other files created in the DOS based
computer can be transferred to your desktop computer via a serial cable
or by transferring the memory card from the  Poq in 1993. They were
used by a Fortune 500 company and since retired from service. At $129
each we expect a quick sell out. With the purchase of memory cards the
price is reduced to $99. See details at
http://www.cadigital.com/palmtop.htm

Also available are 2-Megabyte PCMCIA memory cards that operate with the
Poqet PC+, Poqet PC Classic, HP95 and all other computers that require
 S-RAM memory cards. The price is $59.
http://www.cadigital.com/pcmcia.htm

Other great values are available on our home page at
http://www.cadigital.com/cadigtl.htm Once current inventories are
exhausted, California Digital will not be able  to acquire any
additional units of the above items.

<**>

Thank you for your indulgence.

After reading Tony's post to the list, I feel it appropriate to comment for
the benefit of the group on my purchase of a 20mb SanDisk from Scott Moore.
 In early September I ordered and received one in good condition a short
time later.  Upon opening the plain paper envelope, I discovered it was
simply wrapped in a single sheet of 8 1/2 by 11 typing paper.  Fortunately
mine worked ok, however I felt compelled to suggest more generous packing,
and sent the following msg to him:

>Hi Scott,
>
>Got the card...it arrived in fine shape, although I might suggest using a
padded envelope or wrapping in >bubble pack for a bit more protection.
<snip>

Apparently he didn't take the hint, and now because of that, Tony is out
$40, and Scott has an unhappy customer.

Haven't done business with them lately but about 12 years ago I
bought some stuff from them and they were quite efficient and honest.
They used to have ads in the back of computer shopper but I don't
know if they still do. If you still have the entire ad I wouldn't

Several months ago, cadigital was selling these on ebay. I put a low bid
on two, and wound up getting both. (They had been going up over $100 each,
but I got them for less than $80. I didn't plan on that.) One of the
poqets I received does have some cracking on the hinge, but otherwise both
seemed in good condition.  No problems at all dealing with the company.

I still haven't found a real use for the poqet. I can touchtype on the
keyboard, but not very fast. There are a few things that make it
interesting, like 640k mem for dos, and 1344k for a ram drive (volatile).
It works with the megahertz xjack 14.4 modem. It is picky for flash cards
though. I have an old 10mb card (OEM Sundisk) and a recent 48mb SanDisk
compact flash card that work fine. A 16mb TDK CF and a 24mb Viking CF card
won't work at all.

The batteries don't hold much of a charge. The pack looks pretty easy to
rebuild, and one of these days I'll get around to trying it.

I picked up 6 cards from Scott Moore, in the later rounds when they were
first dropped to $35 each.  Here is my experience:
Brief, pleasant and quick emails back and forth to iron out the details.
Sent payment, recieved confirmation and was told my package was en route.
A few days later, they came in with normal mail, each wrapped in a sheet
of paper and broken down between two envelopes (as I was informed prior).

All the cards had sandisk labels and are allin use happily save 1.  It
does work, but I haven't needed it yet.

I have yet another batch of 1Meg 200LX and 1Meg 1000CX for sale. The company I
work for is hoping to clear them at cost due to "overstocking".

There are 5 200LX and 7 1000CX going at $225 for the 200LX and $200 for the 1000CX,
not including shipping.

The other palmtops we have (piecemeal) are 1 unit of Sharp 4600, 1unit of HP660LX
and 2 units of Psion s5.

If anyone happens to be interested, do mail me off the list.

PS. We also have about 20 200LX manuals if anyone is interested.

The reason this occurred was that Online Bible is not compatible
with the LX.  I spoke to the author, in Canada, and he explained
that the LX uses some sort of unusual keyboard codes, that are
not industry standard, and this somehow would cause problems
running it on the LX.  That is the reason why Tom Hoover wrote
the HisWord program for the LX.

The HisWord program uses the data files from the Online Bible
program.  I tried to also use the Online Bible program, and ran
into similar strange problems.  The Hisword program is available
free, and it comes with the American Standard Bible version,
that is no longer copyrighted.  If you want one of the current
copyrighted versions, you may obtain them from the Online Bible
company.

I bought PFA from Thaddeus a while back, to aid me in planning
my meals, and to help me keep track of what I ate, so I could
print out the days totals, and review with them with the
dietitian.  The program did not fit my needs, in many ways, and
now the program just sits in my pile of other useless stuff.  I
should have returned it, under Thaddeus' 30 day return policy,
but I never got around to it.

The biggest problems I had with the program was, the low limit
on the total amount of entry items allowed per day, the
inability to edit the entries, once they were entered, and you
could not print out the results.  I don't recall what the daily
limit was, but I often found by the time I had entered my
breakfast & lunch meal items, the program would not allow me to
enter all my dinner items, because there was no more room left.

The program is no longer manufactured, even though Thaddeus
still has copies available for sale, but the company that made
the program is still in business, but now has a different name.
Their latest program is a windows only based program.  The
company at one time sold a pro version of the PFA, and they told
me, a few months back, that I still could buy a copy of the pro
version, but they would have to dig the master out of their
archives, to make me a copy, and they would not be able to
supply manuals,  They also told me the pro version would cost
me, like $300, or so.

I ended up creating my own database & spreadsheet combination,
that comes a lot closer to what I need, than the PFA program
does.  It is customized for what I, and for what other insulin
controlled diabetics should be doing, and that is the using the
total carbohydrates & protein grams, that are consumed at each
meal, and then calculating the correct amount of insulin to
cover that meal.

This is not how the traditional medical community thinks.  The
AMA (American Medical Association) & ADA (American Diabetes
Association) have always had the diabetics injecting a set
amount of insulin before each meal, either based upon how the
patient has been responding to that set amount in the past,
before each meal, or on a sliding scale based upon where their
pre-meal blood sugar reading is.

This is the old school of insulin dosing, and in my opinion, is
such backward thinking, because the only way this method could
possibly work well, is if that patient ate the exact same foods,
at that same meal, each day, and do have the exact same activity
level during that time period, and if something was different,
then either their blood sugars, before their next meal, would be
elevated, or worse yet, would go low, and they will be
hypoglycemic.

The latest methods of insulin dosing is to know exactly what
your going to eat, and then inject the correct amount of insulin
to cover that meal.  Even the ADA has now joined this latest
trend, and publishes a booklet on how to count how grams of
carbohydrate you are going to eat, and then dose accordingly.  I
have been part of a diabetic mailing list, and many diabetic
newsgroups, and have found this doctor that used to be an
engineer, with diabetes for most of his life.

--- begin of part 2 of 2 ---

He was one of the first doctors to adapt these latest methods.
The only problem he had was, when he finally got his methods
worked out & documented, he has unable to get any of the medical
community to hear him, because he was not a doctor.  So at a
very late time in life to start medical school, he did, and
became a doctor.  He now has written his book, Diabetes
Solutions, and has his own clinic, that focuses on care of
diabetic patients, and to teach them how to keep their blood
sugars normal at all times, so the diabetic can stand the best
chance of not having any diabetic related complications in the
future.

I have the methods I have developed, on the LX, from what I have
learned from Dr. Bernstein, and would offer anyone who is
attempting to control their diabetes, to send them the files I
use, on the LX, that uses the built-in database & built-in 123,
and would be happy to share copies my logs, which are so near
perfect, that any blood test would not show me as having
diabetes.

Once you get the basic principle down pat, the rest is easy.
The hardest part is discarding what most of the medical
community has been teaching the diabetics for years, before all
the latest self-testing equipment has been so readily available
lately, whereas the diabetic can see for themselves, exactly
what works, and what does not.  I went though this for years,
until I stumbled upon the greatest tool to help me keep my sugar
levels normal, my LX!

> You, or someone, could put together a 123 spreadsheet to track blood sugar test
> results and allow averages, highs and lows, and graphs to be displayed.

As mentioned above, I have already achieved this, and I find the
graphing of my logs, not very useful, because the numbers speak
for themselves very well.  This is not an attempt to start a
flame between a medical expert, and an end user, just trying to
let all the other diabetics listening, that there are ways of
controlling your sugar levels, to such a tight range, that the
chances of something else going wrong, due to the sugar levels
being out of control, for so long, are greatly reduced.  I have
come as close as I can to an artificial pancreas, with my LX,
and my syringes.

I also just purchased PowerBasic for DOS, that is still
currently in production, and support, to try to write a
customized program, that would do the same thing, that my
database and spreadsheet do together.  The two things from
preventing me from starting the project, is I am constantly
changing my spreadsheet, to improve it, and I haven't dabbled in
basic since high school, 23 years ago.

I bought a learning PowerBasic book, and have been trying to
find the time to finish it, so I can start my program.  I would
like to share it with other diabetics, but am concerned, that
even if I gave it away, and a fellow diabetic have some bad
reaction, that I could be held liable, so I not sure how I am
going to handle that, if I even get it done.  The database and
spreadsheet do so well now, that I may never complete it,
especially considering that I am going to start my Mechanical
Engineering degree at U of M, this January, and will most likely
not have much free time on my hands then.

Funny thing is keeping track of all the foods you eat, their
isn't really that many different ones, when you start tracking
them.  My database has only about 133 items, and a lot of them,
are just different quantities, or ways of measuring the same
food.   There has been a lot of discussion in regards to this
diabetes thread, and I am going to try to respond to everyone
who showed an interest in the methods I am using.

Assuming that you are referring to the carbohydrate glycemic index
of foods, that data exist in many forms.  There are many places
on the net, that have the data in some sort of database, and I am
sure that anyone could pull that data into a custom database that
is created on the LX.

The question I have is how do you know that is still under
control, if you no longer track it?  Any diabetic that is one
insulin, must test multiple times per day, and therefore must
keep daily logs.  So I assume that you are not an insulin
dependent diabetic.  No need to reply to the whole list, to this
post, just making a comment, again that I will offer my current
spreadsheet & database to anyone who asks.

 ...........................

I've been using my appointment database since June 9, 1997. I use it for
business, tracking where I've been, how long I was there, etc. for billing.
Needless to say, I use it just about every day.

I have never had a problem (yet). I have moved the data to another 200LX (I
got a 32mb one from Thaddeus), although it was on the flash card  when I did
this.

I watch my batteries and change them prior to getting any messages. Once in
a while, maybe four times in the past 2 years, I have gotten a low battery
message an I stop immediately and change the AA's. I carry spares. I am
using Alkaline batteries.

My data is stored on my Simple Technology STI-ATAFL/40 Flash Card (40mb). I
backup this data on a regular basis, keeping a copy on two other systems.
Data is backed up (copied) at least once a week.

Am I the exception or the rule in not having any problems?

To be clear, Online Bible v6.22 gives no problems. HisWord causes the problems

Subject:      * record not found * - in my desktop
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

After a long period of normal usage I started to get "record not found"
messages again.
What is peculiar in my case: This is happening in the desktop version of
the appointment sw.
Running dbcheck against the file it says the file is Ok.
The only different procedure that I can recall is that it all
(re)started when I closed a file not positioned in the current date. (I
was ahead of it)
Garlic and merging into a new (empty) file have been useful to recover
my data. But the problem appears again in a few days...
Is there a proven procedure to "clean" files after this kind of problem
?
Is dbcheck supposed to be used only in the HP-200LX (I mean - no desktop
use) ? BTW - this is an outstanding tool.

Thanks in advance for any help.

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

Hi all,

As you know latin languages (Portuguese, French, Spanish) make
a wide use od diacritic signals (as does German with the umlaut). I
have my palmtop configured to CP 850 for Portuguese through
Setup.

Now the puzzle. When I enter a diacritic on a Dos program under
SysMan or in a MaxDos session the signal appears in the screen
correctly (for instance a with a ~ above, using the Fn-I keys).

In a Carousel session the entering of diacritic signal is no longer
possible. SC defaults to CP 427 (I think) and the screen shows the
characters than correspond to the same code in CP 850.

Has anyone a solution for my problem? Is it possible to make SC
recognize the CP 850?

Oh yes. If I use Keybez in a SC session the problem is solved but
is inverted, that is, I no longer can enter diacritics in SysMan or in
a maxdos session.

What a puzzle!

Regards

Antonio

Hey gang -

Found some more cool stuff about X-Finder R.10

Looks like it can handle more icons than previous versions.  The older
editions seemed choke on anything over 256,  including those
registered in the .env - so if you tried to view a large icon
directory, it  would show excess icons as the default file icon.
Haven't hit a limit in XF 10...

It's now possible to use icons whose names don't match the XF? file
used to launch your app.  When giving the file alias (long name) to the
XF? file, add a pound sign, and the icon name (without extension).

Also, you can add commands when assigning a title alias in the file
manager.  Follow the name with a pound sign and the command.  Haven't
come up with a use for this yet, except to set secondary launch screens
to return to /Palmtop instead of the file listing.  (Found this in the
supplied files).

Later

-Peniel

Regarding Patricks post on Scott's information.

I looked for it and it doesn't say SanDisk anywhere on it.  It doesn't even
use the same driver on my omnibook.  It loads an IDE driver for the OEM
card.  Even my flash from PNY Technologies uses the SanDisk Driver.

I haven't had a problem, but if I do I want to be able to call SanDisk for
replacement.

Thanks for keeping us honest.

Regarding Tony's Post.

I would suggest contacting you local Postal Inspector.  Since he used the
mail you may have recourse.  Be careful if you aren't aware of postal
regulations regarding commerce and the mail and you stiff a customer.
Additionally you can call your State Attorney General.

By the way where do I send money to keep hplx.net up and running?  I have
asked a couple of times and got no answer.

Hey, for some reason I was kicked off the list.  Was it something I said?

Actually I have a "real" question.

A while back one of the intrepid members of this hallowed list mentioned
interlnk and intersvr as useful tools for connecting two computers
together.  If that esteemed member of this list is listening, or if
anyone else who understands the program is listening, I really need some
advice.

Is there a way to get the program to recognize a CD ROM as a drive?

I would guess that when the program was written, CD ROMs were a toy of
the elite, and not something the user of DOS 5 would have.  I have tried
every suggestion I can find in all of the DOS books and in the help file
of interlnk to no avail.

TIA

Hi friends,

I want to sell my digital camera Casio QV100.
It works together with the palmtop - you can connect the camera to the
palmtop's serial port and then use QVCom or QVRemote (on SUPER) to
download the images to a palmtop's drive.

Saves images as JPEGs, abt 64 KB each.

Has 4MB internal flash, rotating lens, resolution 640*480, macro
function, two aperture values, video output (PAL)

Needs 4 AA batteries

Comes with serial cable, video cable, soft case, manual, PC-software
"QV Link"

I ask 90 Euro + shipping.

I forgot to add, that even if the hardware were ok, the liklihood that

I too have never had a corruption problem.  I use the appointment db and
also the phone db.  I've relied on both since @Feb 97.  Compared to some
on this list I wouldn't call myself a "power user" but I use my 200LX
every day, usually several times.  My APPT.ADB is about 10k in size and
my PHONE.PDB is about 18k.

Subject:      flash memory recommendation?
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I am soliciting recommendations for which brand of
flash memory card the list would suggest.  I know that
SanDisk seems to be very popular.  What I have
currently in my 200LX is the HP 10M disk, and it has
become painfully small.  I would like to upgrade to at
least a 40MB card.

I'm confused also as to what exactly is compatible
with the 200LX.  I've searched the SanDisk website,
but they do not list anything as being compatible with
this model... all models start at the 300LX genre.
I'm assuming an "ATA" type II card is OK?  Simple
Technologies also  looks promising, and at a slightly
reduced cost.

Thanks
Buzz

I have been using a HP110+ Portable Plus. the successor of the 110. It
still works, and I use it occasionally. In 15 years I have twice
mounted a new battery. If the 110 is similar in this respect, use a
TORX driver for the screws on the battery compartment. The battery
comes out in a pack. You can open this with a sharp and/or hot knife to
find the battery, and probably find some specifications on it.
Most firms specialising in rechargeables will be able provide a
suitable replacement. You may need to give outside dimensions. The 110+
has a lead gel battery. Reassemble the plastic casing with a glue or
tape if necessary. The 110 will run many hours on a good battery, but
it is still better not to let it discharge below, say, 80%, as that
will dramatically decrease the number of recharges you can apply.

Be careful about the AC. Both the 110 and the 110 plus use the same net
adapters the HP 41C-CV-CX machines, printers and tape drives, the
Thinkjet printer, and the 9114 disk drive use, output 8V, 2.5VA AC (but
can have DC as well, if I remember correctly). Do not connect any mains
terminals directly to the connectors on the computer! I have several of
these adapters (European ones). If you can not get your hands on one
more close to you, I am willing to send you one. The two trapezoid
connectors are for the HP-IL interface loop. The serial connector has a
now non-standard threading. I do not remember the connections, but if
you need help, I can check the printer and modem cables I made for it.

Before they changed their name to Thaddeus, and before the Palmtop
Paper started, Hal Goldstein's firm ran The Portable Paper, and they
sold software and other items for the 110s. I feel sure there were
articles about the power supply and batteries in there. I could find
these, but I would have to get this out of a box in a far corner. If
you need more help, and the Thaddeus people are too busy, I am willing
to search these journals.

Email me off the list, if you need more information: v.wirdum@hccnet.nl

ATA cards should be fine.  The 200LX can fit type I or II.  Also CF
cards with an adapter should work OK.  Get the biggest card you can
afford!  Thaddeus Computing sells an excellent selection of Sandisk
cards both CF and PCMCIA type II.

ST cards are also good, but use much more power in the palmtop.  I have
a ST 96 meg card and a Sandisk 220 meg, and the Sandisk gives much
better battery life.

We've just posted a new version of Minix for the 200LX up at

now, it takes only 2.3MB zipped and 8MB unzipped, making it much more

Not true.  It may have been true at one time, but Version 6.22 runs just
fine, thank you very much.

I often use it instead of HisWord because it has more powerful search
functions, and because there is a visual notification if the current verse
has a note.

Its nice to have two front ends for the same set of Bible and support files.

I looked at the Online Bible file format a while back, and was impressed
at the compression and speed of searches.  I wonder if it would be
possible to create OLB-compatible files of other reference materials, such
as the 200LX SDK.  That way we could have the advantages of LXREF (one
single file, fast searching, lower disk space taken up) over the HTML
version of the SDK, but it would be better than LXREF because there are
interface programs (i.e. HisWord) that can read it, specifically designed
for the 200LX and with a nice PAL interface.  Does anybody know the
details of the OLB file format?

Not exactly. Post/LX has no idea that the characters being
downloaded are an attachment, until AFTER the whole message
is downloaded. Comparing Post/LX with Accis is invalid -
Compuserve's proprietary mail system has nothing in common
with POP3 Internet email. The two programs work on two
completely different applications.

What you can do is this: In the main screen of Post/LX
highlight the mailbox in question. Press D several times
until there is a "H" instead of downarrow next to the mailbox
line.

This will download ONLY headers (see below a note...). Now you
can decide which message to download and press M then Download
for that message. The full message will be downloaded on next
online run - including any attachments.

To ease your work, you can also add a line in POST.CFG like
so:

SYSTEM

  ...

TopLines=10

Which will tell Post/LX to download header as well as the top
10 lines. You can select 15 lines or 100 lines of course! In
the extreme case you'll probably get to read the whole message
...

Specifying Maximum message size is only a trigger. Anything
above that Post/LX will download only the header of the
message. See above for my recommendation re Toplines.

Headers with Toplines works fine for me. It _does_ mean that
you treat messages twice: Once to decide quickly about them
read/kill and the second time when you decide to download and
read them. I thought it would be more time, but found out that
doing this actually shortens my reading time since I can
quickly sift through the 200-250 messages I get daily, and
summarily kill off ON THE SERVER (See CRL-D) messages I do not
need in my life.

With a generous Toplines setting, I can even decide to kill
off messages based on the first few lines. I use this scheme
also to weed out messages I want to d/l NOW vs. those I will
leave on the server until the weekend run, when I have more
time to deal with them. In these cases, I simply leave the
messages as headers, and right before the weekend run I mark
them for download.

That's about what I experienced. On http://www.dasoft.com
there is a new, excellent FAQ item regarding memory - I
recommend it highly. It has a link right on the main page.

Sets would help some, but not much. I believe it reads ALL the
CFG, then desides what to display based on the sets. It helps
some if it has less to display, but I don't think it is much.
Worth trying...

Also, edit and take out ALL the comments! I made a copy of
the post.cfg and pulled out all the comments from it and use
it for the run. When I change post.cfg I do it to the
commented version, then copy it and pull the comments out
again from the copy and use it. Makes a bit more work, but
certainly helps with the memory problems.

Best tip: DO NOT use alternative fonts - fonts must be loaded
into the data segment of the program which is where all the
CFG files sits as well as all the data. Fonts are anywhere
from 2.5K to 8K and they take up huge portions
proportionately. I recommend using only the built-in fonts:
You have a 40 char font, 64 char font, and 80 char font, as
well as a tiny tiny font of 125 chars. These do not take any
space in the data space.

I do not understand this statement:

> Is my only alternative to load different .CFG files
> when I start Post/LX?

Hope this helps.

The above is my own private opinion.

Hi All,

This thread looks like it's mostly faded; but here I go....

I saw a "@#@%#%-type" post against dongles and other such things that you
could use to encrypt software etc. but I guess I want to head down that
rabbit trail for a minute...

BTW: Greg, I think it's 1) awesome that you're on the list and 2) open to
let folks disagree w/ you w/o taking it personally!

Having just felt the "sting" of finding out my DIVX/DVD player will lose
half it's functionality and *DIE* mid-2001, I'm hesitant to buy ANYTHING
that only does one thing!!!  Yes, it'll still play DVDs and yes I get a
rebate (and yes my REALLY good DVD player wasn't the DIVX critter anyway)
but it smarts to go for the technology and then have the proprietary part
become a doorstop heck, look at the "outrage" on this list re: the
discontinuation of the LX and I don't expect them to EVER become
door-stops......  Because I've got 10 DIVX disks that'll eventually become
coasters (I won't even be able to PAY to view them), I may not buy any
"unproved" technology again.....

What about making either a PC-Card that'll work in the LX or the latest
laptop etc. or a COM1 plug w/ a code?  I _KNOW_ we've only got one slot in
the LX .... maybe make a CF card w/ x amount of RAM for books, software,
etc. and make the decoder part work thru the CF-to-PC card adapters we use,
or straight into a CF slot on a WinCE device?  If there's a 64 MEG CF Card,
can you burn a meg into one and then sell a 63 MB card?

I don't fancy the COM1 plug, 'cause I'd lose it, but the CF card could work
in any computer desktop w/ a PC card adapter or a little SanDisk reader,
it'd supply RAM that we all need, and could meet the needs of MANY to have
their cake and eat it too..... Heck, the WinCE folks could at least read
books on the subway/train or in long checkout lines like we do and feel a
little better about themselves and their gadgets grin, Rocket-formatted
file sales would soar and that would also help keep the format alive for
those who had Rocket e-Books(!).

Heck, there will still be folks who want to give the eBook reader as a
present to someone who loves to read but has no use for a palmtop/PDA
shudder ... OK <grin>, and there will be some, like me even, that agree
the eBook's got a better screen and will buy it just for that alone...

AND. I also think NUVOMEDIA would be interested in anything that would help
keep the format alive, lest they go the way of DIVX.  Keep the idea, kick it
around.... if things look dark later, you can pull the idea out, save the
company and thank the LX list for your promotion to executive V.P.<G>.

A long-ish plea from a guy who only wants to carry one gadget.....

--tim

PS. If they *really* wanted to make us happy, once they made the encoded CF,
memory card, they'd make an LX, system manager compliant program, a PalmOS
program and a CE program ... OK, maybe DOS, Linux, Mac.... perhaps too much
to ask, but let the dominant OSs read it and make it backward compat. w/ DOS
5.0.......

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

I was getting a lot of Memory failures that would dump me out of Post,
and back to DOS.  I would get them when saving new mail to send and then
I started getting them a LOT when I tried to move (F9) items between
folders.

It's been a couple days without any more problems so I think I'm safe to
tell you what I did to "fix" my problem (cross my fingers, knock on wood).

I was looking in my POST.CFG file and I saw entries for old newsgroups
and folders that I had deleted.  Some of these newsgroups I later added
back in which resulted in 2 sets of entries.

My fix was to Most Important! first make a backup so I could recover
from any goofs.

Next I edited the CFG file and went through it adding blank lines
between the different newsgroup and folder sections; this makes it much
easier to read.

Finally I went through and deleted any old newsgroup/folder section that
was not listed in the current "FOLDERS" section.

So far all my memory failures have gone away.  I left the blank lines in
the CFG file as POST doesn't seem to mind them and they'll help if I
ever need to go back do more looking.

cheers... Russ

ps- If you decide to try this for any reason BE CAREFUL and keep a
backup!  I imagine there's all sorts of NEW troubles you can cause and
D&A will probably be annoyed with YOUR user problems if you have to call
them.

It sure would be nice if we could come up with a palmtop-designed
application that could do reference material like this.  There are some
okay solutions, but so far none of them have lived up to the potential
they could have if they were designed as a palmtop application.

I used Interlnk/Intersvr several years ago. I don't recall it NOT
recognizing CD-ROM drives.

Did you load your CD-ROM drivers in Config.sys before the line that loads
Interlnk?

If the problem is related to MSCDEX being loaded in Autoexec.bat after
Interlnk is loaded in Config.sys, maybe someone else on the list is aware
of a software solution.

You might consider another file transfer program.  There are many.  I
prefer Norton Commander.

Hi everyone!

Does anyone know which algorithm the LX uses to come up with the patterns
for the dithered 320x200x4 CGA mode (accessed by pressing Fn-*)? I don't
suppose such information would be in the SDK/reference guide?

I've been trying to figure it out, but the patterns are difficult to make
out on the small screen :-)

Is there a program (caplx?) that will capture the actual screen ouput
(dithered or otherwise), and not just the CGA screen as DOS sees it?

That's what I was saying and Ulrich agreed basically. There
seem to be two camps here among us: Some of us get clobbered
on our databases left and right. It could be GDBs, ADBs, or
NDBs, or combinations of above. The problems they experience
seems real enough to have spurred an excellent program to
check database problems.

The other camp seems to be saling along, using databases
intensively, constantly, and even pushing them way out, and
they experience almost no problems (or eve none at all).

We had these discussions before and we all pooled out brains
together trying to figure out some pattern to why some had
problems, others not. I think we were not successful to come u
with any wisdom about it.

As you pointed out, some of the issues _seem_ to be power
related, but that is not a complete answer. I know I push my
machine lately to 2.29V and even write at 2.32V to disk, and
no problems (yet?). Like you, I tend to stop when it happens
and just recharge batteries then, but occasionally I have had
to write at low voltages. NiMH batts help, but again they are
not a solution. Others have also reported low voltage writes
that went ok, but it is clearly a risky thing to do.

It is possible that some power problems come from alkalines
with high internal resistance. These batteries will not give
out current, and rather drop voltage to the point that
palmtops reboot, with a corruption as a likely result. But
even that is not always true, some people reported otherwise.

Some people always shut down databases, yet still experience
corruptions. I, and others here, report keeping databases open
and survive unscathed a reboot (the database takes longer to
open next time, having to rebuild indexes).

Some people use Flash cards to store databases, others use C:
drives. I have used both and have no difference in the lack of
corruption experience. Others report similar results. Others
yet, swera by flash card or by C: drive ... IOW, very
different evidence.

So we are still undetermined as to why exactly some people get
corruptions, others do not.

I wish we could nail this one down.

Not from ADB files. With GDB and NDB files, you could GDBDUMP the data
to a text file, then load it back into a fresh data file. However,
these utilities don't work with ADB files.

No, DBCHECK tries to find problems whether you run it on a PC or on
the LX - it's just a DOS program. DBCHECK looks for certain types of
potential errors in a file, but it doesn't do everything. If you send
me the file, I'd like to take a look at it, and if I can figure out
what's wrong with the file I could make DBCHECK better.

I examined my screen under a high power microscope (say 60X) back when
I was trying to measure the exact dot pitch.  But at these magnifications,
you should also be able to clearly decipher your dithering patterns.
Now to get access to the microscope...

I had several episodes of data corruption at one time. In my case the
corruption could have been related to memory problems. The RAM failed the
ESC+ON tests intermittently and finally gave up the ghost. A new
unit, albeit with the same usage pattern from my side, has been giving no
problems so far. It may be a good idea to check if the RAM is acting up.
And the dbcheck program from Curtis Cameron is a great help in determining
the health of the databases. You will at least know if there are any
lurking corruptions within the database files.

I figure this question may be of general interest, hence I'll post it to
the list instead of direct to Curtis...

When I ran dbcheck for the first time (with some trepidation - if it ain't
broke don't fix it) I get a report for one file that there are "347 lookup
table entries flagged as deleted".

     Here is the output:

     c:\backup\flash\backup\_dat\JEZ.ADB:
     385 records found.
     File type: Appointment
     ......................................
     1 db header, 0 card def
     0 categories, 27 fields defined
     0 view point defs, 1 view point tables
     2 smart clips, 1 lookup tables
     336 data records, 13 with notes
     347 lookup table entries flagged as deleted
     No problems found with c:\backup\flash\backup\_dat\JEZ.ADB

It says there are "No problems..." but as I can't find any reference in the
documentation (dbcheck.txt) to this message about deleted entries I'm
wondering what it really means.  Is there something I should do to clean up
the file - for example so it opens faster? (but it only takes about 3 secs
(on my single-speed machine))

Thanks in advance

The information is in the SDK (and very detailed) at pages 532-534.
The techniques are called frame rate shading and bit-dithered
shading. You refer to the second technique.

Both techniques are performed by hardware, hence there is no way,
to capture a screen and maintaining the pattern, because the
pattern is nowhere in the screen buffer. The screen buffer only
holds the 2-bit color values for the 320x200x4 mode. The
palmtop specific (Hornet) ShadeReg decides, which technique
is used for the display.

Remove ANYTHING that you do not need such as comments - I
posted to Joy on how to I do it.

Blank lines take two characters in the dataspace (CR and LF)
and ny space 20H is another character, Post/LX DOES mind
these.

I do the same, but do not add a blank line, instead just press
ENTER at the end of prior line. A blank line is 80 spaces.

Yes! Good...

Also: If you use alternate fonts it will cost a lot in memory
in the dataspace.

Please check http://www.dasoft.com and click on the MEMORY

Not annoyed at all, but there is no way we can guess what you
had and deleted or got screwed up! My best advice would be to
delete POST.CFG and rerun SETUP.EXE and redefine stuff from
scartch. In the case of WWW.CFG, my recommendation would be
to delete it and rerun WWWSETUP from scratch to define all
the entries... So this would not annoy D&A, but is CERTAIN
to annoy the customer. So your recommendation is excellent!
Thanks... :)

BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP! You can also just print the .CFG files
and that will hekp you in case you destroy something and have
to go at it from the beginning...

I think tracking blood glucose (sugar) levels would work best with a 123 =
spread
sheet.  You will probably want to find averages, highs, lows etc and a
spreadsheet is best for this.

it must be abt. 90 US$. Don't know the exchange rates from today, but
since US$:DM is about 1.8-1.9:1 and Euro:DM is abt. 1.95:1, US$:Euro has to be
something like 1:1.

Subject:      want a bigger screen? consider Omnibook 300-425
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

Hello
I too was wishing I had a larger screen. My eventual solution was to buy
an Omnibook 300 (later a Omnibook 425).
The early omnibooks are similar to the 200LX in that they are DOS 5 based
computers with built in OS and applications on a ROM card.
The 300 has a 386 processor and a VGA screen plus a nice keyboard.
The OS and applications are on a pcmcia type II card
The OS is DOS 5 and WIN 3.1
applications include MSword, Excel and LapLink Remote.
The LapLink works with the built in Laplink on the 200LX over infared
I run the connectivity pack emulator although the built in phonebook and
calender applications will read 200lx files without translation.
Running the connectivity pack emulator it works just like a 200lx with a
386 processor (but only one app at a time). The case even looks like a
200lx, just 80% bigger.
Now I use a Omnibook 425 with the data files on a flash card.
I put the card into the palmtop or the omnibook depending on whether I
want portability or capability.

If anyone is interested I'd like to sell my Omnibook 300 so I can save up
for a bigger flash card for the 425.

I believe that "RECORD NOT FOUND" comes from missing Note records
(which are stored seperately from the rest of the record.)

I once wrote the bones of a program that could read in an
appointment book database, detect & delete references to
non-existant records, rebuild the index and write it out
again.  I used it to recover one broken database and then
stopped working on it.

The irritating thing is, the database engine on the '200
could easily recover from the kinds of corruption I've
seen.  It's poorly written in that respect.

Adding to Avi's points on the still undetermined nature of this problem:

I was totally convinced that it was power related.
Just to be sure I decided to use  appt.adb only in my desktop, for a
long time. (so long that
it would give me confidence that the 25K file became clean and able to
return to my 200 LX)
It performed ok for months ! Everything seeming to confirm the power
theory.
And then the problem is back...
Food for thought: Could it happen that the original "tumor" of my file
was never eliminated ?
Could it be that it just resurfaced due that one (still not perfectly
determined) logical condition occurred?
In any case: Curtiss' objective of improving Dbcheck can be of great
help.
Another point to reflect: Could this be a flaw in the HP program itself
? (that would explain failing both in the
desktop and the 200LX.

This happens in databases OTHER THAN appointment books too!
Does the thory hold?

Hmmm... I am always suspicious of sweeping statements like
this. Not having seen the design documentation, nor the
program (I am sure you have not seen either!), this sounds a
little bit over-confident, no? Maybe I am wrong about this,
but I was a programmer for the better part of my life and such
judgements proved to be a bit myopic in all cases.

It does seem like there are some limitations in the database app. Right now,
I downloaded the acronyms database from super and I can't open it without
destroying it. It wipes out all the note fields when I first open the file.
I tried running dbcheck on the file before opening it and it checks out. I
guess this is a pretty big database but it must run on some systems.

BTW: i run the fastdb.tsr program to speed up the databases but I disabled
it.

Just wondering if anyone had ever listed all the HP palmtop accessories that
had been made by part number.
Without a lot of thought (looked in the desk drawer for most of them) I came
up with a few and saw some big holes.  Wondering what I missed.  Wonder if
any of those missing numbers went to a wonderful accessory that was never
made.

My quick and dirty list follows.  Can anyone add anything or correct any of
my listings?

F1000     -  95lx (?)
F1001A  -  95lx connectivity pack
F1002A  -  128K sram card
F1003A  -  512K sram card
F1004A  -  1MB sram card (I think - I don't have it right here)
F1005A  -  Dictionary card

F1011A  -  AC adapter for the 100/200lx
F1012A  -  5MB flash memory card
F1013A  -  10MB flash memory card
F1014A  -  20MB flash memory card
F1015A  -  Connectivity cable
F1016A  -  Mac Connectivity cable

F1020A  -  100lx (Not sure on this one either)
F1021A  -  Connectivity pack for 100lx
F1021B  -  Connectivity pack for 200lx (English)
F1021C  -  Connectivity pack for 200lx (Multilingual)

F1023A  -  Adapter kit that came in Connectivity pack

F1027A  -  Accessory Cradle
F1028     -  Starlink Receiver

F1060A  -  1MB 200lx USA
F1061A  -  2MB 200lx USA

F1215C  -  6MB flash memory card

 You haven't copied, or backed up the database while it was still open? I
think causes an error in the file.

That might be it. I have a scheduled database backup procedure running from
the appointment book. Is that definitely the case? Do the databases get
cloberred just from being backed up when open?

Yes, database, phonebook, appointment book and note-taker are all
processed by the same software and use the same database format
(with some extensions that are special to appointment book.)

Perhaps; but I can safely say that fixing the one broken appointment
book I've encountered was very easy.  It was a simple matter of
of reading the data in, discarding any broken links and rebuilding
the index from scratch.  I realize that a sample set of one isn't
very definitive.

Good Evening once again listers,

My question for the evening:
   Where can I obtain Word Perfect 5.1 for DOS?  I've
searched and searched the web, but am yet to find
anyone who sells it any longer.  Any information is
greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all who have responded both privately and to
the list to my questions of the past few days... this
is without a doubt, the best list I've subscribed to
in sometime.

Thanks,
Buzz

There is virtually always someone on ebay selling WP5.1.  I picked a copy
up for $20.

There are still some retailers who sell it.  I vaguely recall finding a
seller deep in the links on the Corel website many months ago.  In fact,
a call to Corel a year ago confirmed that they still sell it commercially
themselves.  I didn't order 'cause it was the same price as their latest
offering.

It's not a problem. Here's the deal. The database is just a bunch of
records strung together. There are many types of records - there is
one to define each field (name, type, etc.), there is one database
header record, there is a card definition (with locations of fields on
the card), a record for each smart clip, a record for each defined
subset, a record for each data item (person, appt, etc.), a record for
each note, and, if the data file has been closed, a record containing
the lookup table. They appear one after another in the database, in a
fairly haphazard order, but the DB header is always first and the
lookup table (if it exists) is always last.

Each record is numbered within its own type, so that each data item
for example has its own unique number, and each note has its own
number. As data items are created, they start at 0 and go up. If you
at one time had 1000 data items, and you delete 500 of them, the 500
you deleted will likely be the mostly the first 500 created, so the
records that you're left with will mostly populate the 500-1000
numbers (especially true with ADB files).

Now the lookup table is just a listing of the record locations within
the file, so if you want to know where to find data item 800, you go
to the lookup table, index into the data item part, then go to the
800th entry, and read the offset, or how many bytes into the file that
record starts at. But if item 300 is deleted, it still must have a
space in the lookup table (because you have to count past 300 to get
to 800), so the lookup table entry for data item 300 will have the
value -1, which indicates that the record no longer exists.

This is why you'll see that many lookup table entries are flagged as
deleted. It's not a problem, other than that your lookup table must be
larger than could be. I believe that if you add another data item, it
will be assigned the lowest available record number, so the low
numbers will eventually fill up.

No, it normally should survive this just fine.

=46irst, merely copying or backing up the file while it's open shouldn't
damage the file, because it cannot be written to wile the app has it
open.

Second, the copy you get with the app open will be a working file, but
its lookup table will not be there, so next time you open that app
using the backed up copy, it will take a little longer because it must
rebuild the lookup table.

It would be a problem, however, if you used a copy of a file that was
copied while the app was actually writing to the file, which happens
after you make changes to the data, but no one would do this, would
they?

I believe you're right. If a data item says that its note is note
number 200, but the LX can't find note 200, you'll see this error.
There might be a few other ways it could happen, but I think this is
by far the most common.

Absolutely.

Last year I had a crash of my ApptDB with "record not found".

After the incident, I worked with the last-night backup of the file without
any problems.

Months later I checked it w/ DBCHECK and it reported a couple of errors.
(And it did for all my backup .adb files.) Other than that I never had any
obvious problems with the file while working with it.

After merging the suspicious DB with an empty adb, DBCHECK no longer
reported any problems.

It seem to be a good idea to DBCHECK the database files.

Tom

Not yet ... but things are definitely happening.  The problem with
pictures of the screen, with or without backlight, is that you usually
can't tell much from a picture.  Even high-quality scanned photographs
don't show LCDs and backlights very well.

I bought my copy some time ago and I am not sure you can still get it =

purchased directly from the publishers for under =A3100. It came on  =

DIVX was a bad idea (IMHO, as well as alot of others) - it
required alot of after-sales processing that (I suspect) was
very near the viewing price (i.e. $2 to process call, $2.99
charged for the viewing, with the 49 cents going to the movie
owners).

A PCMCIA card with a "decoder" in it is still a piece of
hardware to lose, it simply fits inside the portable instead
of on the outside.

If Rocket eBooks are successfull, then there will be interest
in capturing the folks unwilling to purchase a proprietary
reader (we'll call this the majority)...

So, the best answer would be to convince all your non-LX
carrying friends to buy eBooks - then other platforms will
follow!

Just my $.02,

Buzz,

I suggest you go for a Sandisk 48 meg Compact Flash card.
Don't forget to get the adaptor ($10 or so).  The card will
be about $100.  I just got one about a month ago & it works
great.  Also if you get a digital camera later it will work
for that too if you select the right model.    =Bob=

Mail service is quite unpredictable in speed of delivery (frustrating for

Hi John,

Is it only down one side, if so you could reboot your doublespeed
driver (my double speed loses 2-3 columns of pixels on one side
when things go wrong 8-(  ).

If it is randomly over the screen then it could be your screen is on
the way out.  There was discussion on the group about dirty/broken
connectors (your email may solicit these responses again).

I believe Thaddeus.com will repair for US$125 + postage,
it could be worth a soft reboot (back-up first!) before sinking
into depression 8-)

Good luck.......Liam

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

My palmtop1 was plugged into the wall recharging.  I was on the phone
and happened to look over at it (but not touch it), and all of a sudden
I saw the scree go crazy.  It sorta looked like when a TV loses vertical
sync- things overwriting other things and diagonal lines.  Pressing the
off button did nothing.  Eventually it straightened itself out, but it
did it again a little while later.

Soft boot did not fix it.
Hard boot fixed it.

As background, and possibly related, I had the bottom only of my palmtop
opened last week to attempt to fix a broken screw in the bottom2 and
to do a brute-force hinge crack fix3.  I never disassembled the screen
or removed the endcaps.  It was a week ago though.  Could this be
related?

Maybe it knows I've been looking at the specs of the Psion 5mx with
awe.  If they only sold them in a store I could look in.

1 Stock 100LX 2MB circa '93 with 10MB Doubleflash + under Stacker
2 Front left screw under PCMCIA slot.  The original screw snapped off
in the hole.  I drilled out the hole and filled it with epoxy but have
not found another screw to put in its place.  Anybody willing to send me
a spare?
3 This is the 4th hinge crack, hence the desperate measures.  I
cemented a heavy piece of plastic from a hard drive faceplate over the
crack.  I'm not worried about appearance since I keep it in a Kensington
Wetsuit anyway, and will probably never sell it.

Good information, but you should add that the first letter of

I suppose that there could be corrupt entries in the index table
pointing to records beyond the end of file.  Also, the time-dependent
items in the appointment book are in a linked list.  It would be easy
enough for one of those links to refer to a non-existant record.

The infuriating thing is, all of these problems are trivially fixed.

* If there's a note record missing, delete the reference to it.

* If there's an invalid entry in the index, delete it.

* If there's suspected corruption in the linked lists, rebuild them.

Instead, the database engine barfs on the first internal error it
discovers, and not only makes no attempt to fix the error, but also
gives you no chance to recover the non-corrupt entries in the database.

Fooey.

It's possible that you have to permit sharing of the CDROM drive.  The
default mode for Microsoft Windows 95 and later versions is to enable
sharing.

When you use DOS-mode drivers for the CDROM drive, you explicitly enable
sharing for the CDROM extensions to the operating system.  You do that by
adding a /S switch on the line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file where you load
MSCDEX.EXE.

Subject:      How can I open file with Memo through icon in sysmgr?
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

I use Post/lx. I also grab links which I save for later use in the
hv.hot file.

Later when at school I want to edit this file to use/delete some links.
(I use the pc at school to surf through interesting links in the hv.hot
file)

I want to have a icon in sysmgr or in ..arg I can't remember the name..
which sends the hv.hot to Memo.

Can this be done. If I use the program "Open" I can do this but only if
I hit escape a number of time (it goes into some loop). And I do not
know if it is Buddy which sends it finally to Memo..

Any suggestions?

I had the same problem. My cfg is now approx 7.2kb and I have no
problems. I have 3 emailboxes+smsbox+25 newsgroups and approx 12
folders.

I have trimmed the cfg's down to the "bone" by removing isp setups I do
not use and remove comments and shorted the alias for the newsgroups.

I also have moved www so that the path for newsgroups are shorter.

I also have deleted all spaces and old newsgroup folders. Everything
counts I guess..

Try to trim you www.cfg and post.cfg and see if you can get down to
"safe limit".

I saw that Avi have replied to this too..but I send this anyway ;-)

Hmmm - It can be done with X-Finder, but that does require a fair
amount of work to configure.  Also I think this can be done with
KeyStuff (on SUPER).

Subject:      To translate an HP 95LX Phone Book to an HP 200LX Phone Book

The HP 200LX User's Manual
Page 4-6:
To translate an HP 95LX Phone Book to an HP 200LX Phone Book
1. Copy 95LX to 200LX via infrared or mem card or...
2. Open the new file w/a *.PBK name
3. When prompted, specify a new file name other than PHONE
without extension
The File Open then translates the .PBK file to an 200LX
Phone Book, supplying automatically the .PDB extension
4. The 2 files do not have exactly the same fields
95LX Field------------>200LX
Name (30 Characters)-->Name (29 Characters)
Phone----------------->Business Phone
Address--------------->Note
5. You can then use the Clipboard Fn (CUT / Paste)
and Page 4-30
Limits While Using the Phone Book and Database
1. Maximum theoretical: 5000 records
2. Maximum characters in Note: 32KB
3. Maximum number of fields: 99
4. Maximum number of pages in structure: 4
5. Maximum number of subsets (F6): 16
BUT nothing about steps on backward compatibility :(
MAYBE "reverse engineering" will work ?

I received two 20 meg cards from Scott, one a Sandisk and
another by International Game Technology.  There is nothing
indicating an association with Sandisk on the IGT card, and
the details of manufacture show nothing in common beyond
both being Type II PCMCIA cards.

I bought one of the 40 meg cards - mine was also labeled IGT on the
front.  The only mention of sandisk is that of (C) 1995 Sandisk on
the "back" label in small letters at bottom of the label.  Mine works
fine.   I would have preferred knowing in advance that it was
relabeled - and I think for $5 shipping it should have been packed
better.

Hi Folks,

With the combination of Netcom and Mindspring, and now the
combination Mindspring / Earthlink, we are probably go through
some "earthquakes" :-) ... The servers are becoming unstable
and so on.

I have a customer who tells me his netcom connection is not
working with WWW/LX Plus. It fails on IPCP (see later). But no
more info came yet from the customer.

I am interested to know if any other folks use WWW/LX Plus
with any of the above services and if there are problems, and
what kind of problems.

Note re IPCP: In this stage, among other functions, the user
is authenticated. If the password or login id or both are
incorrect, the connection will fail here.

Please do not email to me, unless you refuse to be public
about it, otherwise, please just post it here. Thanks...

Is it just me, or is this starting to get annoying?

Either this guy has a lot more than he says OR they are
selling very slowly...

Maybe you could move these faster at auction...

Sorry, I'm just getting tired of these posts - I had to vent...

At least this one has a lot of exclaimation marks!

I have Earthlink and WWW/LX.  But I don't use WWW/LX very much.  When I was
traveling around 6 months ago it worked great.

If you want me to do any specific test let me know.
