Aha! I wasn't aware of the linked list part of ADB files. This could
explain why there seem to be some with errors that I can't find by
examining them. Can you send me any details you know about the
linking?

thanks,

We have a "Socket LP-E" ethernet PCMCIA card (I assume it is "Low-Power
Ethernet").  The folks with Jornadas use it to synch their palmtops with
the desktop in the office.  Our tech person said that there is only a
driver for Win95/98/CE.  Does anyone know if there is a driver readily
available for the 200lx to use this card?

Thanks!

I saw an ad for a plug-in keyboard for a palm-type device called a Da Vinci
keyboard.  It folds in half for space, and looks to have a larger typing
area than the standard 200lx keyboard.

Does anyone have any information or experience using this with their 200lx?

I just signed up and have been using Mindspring without trouble on the palmtop.

Ever since the merger I've been having problems with Netcom/Mindspring using
their software (Netcomplete).

Their techs seem to think that the problem is on my end, with my computer
and/or modem. Which is strange, since the same computer and modem had been
working fine with Netcom for over a year before the merger.

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

Sorry for the triple subject.

Newton keyboard: I bought one of these a couple of weeks ago, and I think
it's just great.  I chose not to cut the keyboard line and instead made a
short cable that plugs into the keyboard at one end and the 9-pin serial
connector on the LX-to-PC cable at the other.  (It's cheaper than buying
another LX-to-PC cable to cut up.  I'd be happy to make one for whomever
needed it; it preserves the value of the Newton keyboard, which seems to
be bought mostly by PalmPilot nuts these days.)  The keyboard itself is
absolutely great-- it's very light, it has excellent "feel", and while
small enough to be easily portable is roomy enough not to make me a worse
typist than I am.


MS Word 5.5 for DOS:  I missed the FS offer another lister made, so I am
wondering if there is a source for the manuals.  Also, since I am still
saving my nickels for a memory upgrade, I will have to run the program
from a flashcard.  Will this be problematic?  I'm new to LXing, and my
memory card hasn't arrived yet, so I don't know much about how the A:
drive works.  Finally, I've read in previous digests that Word might not
recognize the Newton keyboard driver. Is there a fix for that?


MINIX:  Is it very similar to LINUX in programming terms, or are we
talking about a completely different animal?  What does it offer, other
than another excuse for spending time on the LX? :)


Thanks once again for your patience with the newbie questions.

By Alias you mean the name that will appear on the screen.

Nice trick! We generally recommend to put WWW HV and Post as
well as all the files in one subdirectory, and let the
programs manage the files, so you don't have the stuff all
over the machine.

es, the ENTIRE .CFG file is "swallowed" - spaces, comments
EVERYTHING! Post/LX has no idea while reading it in that you
have comments. PAL code simply skips the comments etc. But
still - it _does_ take space. "Just because it is transparent
or you cannot see it, does not mean it is not there." :-)

BOTH will help. They both reside in the data space!

> I saw that Avi have replied to this too..but I send this anyway ;-)

You had at least two or three ideas I did not have :-)

Also: If you use the same number to call two ISPs, put the
number in the WWW section of Post/LX.

There are other such tricks to do with the WWW section -
stash in there all the things that are common to multiple
setups. Of course it may slow you down a bit....

a VGA screen. Any ideas how I can get round this if at all.

Concerning MS Word 5.5 -

I just finished installing this software package on to my HPLX A:
flashcard (takes about 2.7 MB). First tests show that it runs great
from the A: drive, though I had problems installing it there. The
setup program obviously assumes the A: drive to be a floppy drive and
just waits infinitely for the disk change message. I finally ended up
with installing it on the E: drive of my desktop computer (on the
HPLX the E: drive is a virtual SUBST drive for A:) and just copied
everything over.

I do not think that the missing manuals will be a problem. The Word
software is very straightforward with drop down menus that tell most
of its features. Additionally there is a vast online help included
and even a lecturing/learning mode (that I chose not to install). It
even has WYSIWYG and printer preview options (which look somewhat
peculiar on this tiny screen!). So just give yourself half a day
playing around and you have it.
I do not know about the Newton keyboard but the HPLX keyboard works
well enough!

Now if only I could find a German spelling checker that works with
Word 5.5!

Chris,

You can also remote control a computer from the LX using the freely available
PC Magazine utility PCREMOT2 available from Ziff-Davis on the internet.

It would be nice if someone made it available on the Super Site also.

Yes, I use the card with a HP820 and a HP200LX. I think it is an excellent
card.
To use it with the HP200LX you need to get a hold of LXCIC and LXEN2216.
Both of these programs can be found on S.U.P.E.R.  (http:\\www.palmtop.net)
You may also want to get the TCP/IP package for FTP, Telnet, and ping.
I have been using this combo with no problems, I use GP for e-mail when not
at work.

Software that needs EGA or higher resolution won't work on the palmtop.

For displaying graphic files (GIF, JPG, PCX, BMP, & ICN) get Stefan
Peichl's LXPIC from SUPER
http://www.palmtop.net/supernew.html
Enter lxpic in the search box.  The program is only about 16K!  It can
also convert graphic files to B&W PCX files.

I tried a colleague's new hp340cbi printer with Irda adaptor today and it
worked first time.  Does anyone know if the adaptor (which just plugs into
the Centronics socket and seems to be self/socket powered) will work with
any parallel printer?

(as soon as he gets back from his trip we'll try it, but unfortunately he's
rushing off...)

BTW - I see this adaptor is listed on www.buy.com for $30

You could record a macro with the keystrokes needed to invoke Memo and open the
file.
 Typing "Fn-Fx" would then execute the macro and put you in Memo with the file
open.
"More-M" will get you into the macro editor.

Subject:      HP95 Questions!
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain

Hello, all - apologies if these questions are easily answered somewhere
but I am at work...

I have just acquired an used 95lx but it didn't come with manuals.  I
have managed to figure out a few things (got the IR transfer working
between the 95 and my 100lx - cool!) but need to know:

Does the 95lx need a driver to recognize a pcmcia card? I tried popping
in a SanDisk 4 meg cf in an adaptor and it doesn't recognize it.  I have
an older ACE 1.8 card at home that I'll try later but I'd rather use the
4 meg one if possible.

Also, do I need an autoexec/config?  I didn't see one anywhere on the
machine.

Lastly - is the 95lx going to die at the end of the year?  Could I boot
from a pcmcia card with a newer Dos version if the Dos 3.3 is going to
choke on the year 2000?

Thanks!

I think CGA is a brick wall.  I've heard of no one that's done any sort of VGA
emulation or conversion that'll run on the LX.

But for GIF files, I'm surprised anyone wants more than LXPIC (on the SUPER
site) has to offer....I even run that on my Omnibook 800CT.

Thanks..

I used keystuff. I had to move the www folder because the keystuff
buffer is limited. I did'nt want to increase it either. But I now can
access hv.hot through a icon in Smmlx. Nice.. I also reduced the size
of the post.cfg because I moved the www folder down two "steps"

Try doing mem /c to get a more detailed list of memory usage.  Do you

Hmmm - if you aren't using the 7 Megs of free space on drive C: then
you probably don't need the 32 Meg upgrade.  It's great to have though
if you want to use a PC card modem, ethernet card, or parallel port
card.  I guess you don't have EMS memory set up.  It's great to have
available.  Lots of DOS progs will use it, and usually run a lot faster
with it.  You should have the TREMM driver software with the 8M
machine.

I don't think you can do this... yet. Minix would have to be able to read
the parition table and it can't. That's the whole reason why it runs in a
'fake filesystem' that is really a DOS file. I think that MINIX can be a
great alternative OS for the 200 if it can do the following:

- have something like the PAL library
- Allowed to run in a software carousel session
- mount DOS drives
- have Ethernet and TCP/IP support

I doubt that we'll see most, if any, of these anytime soon but I'm such a
UNIX head that I can't help dreaming.

I don't know much about the 95, but I thought some traffic passed thru to the
effect that it works with SRAM type PCMCIA cards.  I'm not sure how well it
deals with ATA flash, nor do I have answers for the other questions.

I doubt you could boot from the pc card to a newer DOS version....even the
100/200 can't do that since the bootstrap program loads DOS kernals from the ROM
before proceeding to the autoexec and config.sys.  Sorry...

But that's what you get for $.02 <g>.

Does the 95lx need a driver to recognize a pcmcia card? I tried popping
in a SanDisk 4 meg cf in an adaptor and it doesn't recognize it.  I have
an older ACE 1.8 card at home that I'll try later but I'd rather use the
4 meg one if possible.

Also, do I need an autoexec/config?  I didn't see one anywhere on the
machine.

Lastly - is the 95lx going to die at the end of the year?  Could I boot
from a pcmcia card with a newer Dos version if the Dos 3.3 is going to
choke on the year 2000?

I think HP95 only understands type I cards.  That means SRAM but
probably not flash.

I simply want to display the picture using say LXPIC from the database
app by putting the name of the pcx in a field and running either a macro or
running
the program directly like issuing the command  ! LXPIC <fname>

In that case, there's also an app call IPEX (or something like that) in the
SUPER site that lets you store and display pictures in the LX database.

I haven't used it myself (no need), but I'm sure others have.  I'm not sure if
this fills your exact need...I'm not even sure if it uses LXPIC to do the
display, nor if there is a way to execute a macro imbedded in a field...that
would be an interesting generic capability.

The 95LX needs a driver to recognize Sandisk flashcards (and it only works
with some models). Apparently, the flashcards made for (or compatible
with) the 95LX came with this driver.

You can read more about the 95LX and Sandisk cards in this PDF file (which
someone else was kind enough to mention on the list recently):

http://www.sandisk.com/download/techqa2.pdf

If you want to load something before starting the System Manager, then yes
you need a config.sys and/or autoexec.bat...

Good question. Why don't you try it and see what happens? (and be sure to
let us know what happens :-)

I don't think you can boot from a flashcard (because flashcards require a
driver present), but perhaps an SRAM card. Another option (if this becomes
a problem) might be to place a Y2K-fixer TSR in the config.sys?

that would automatically insert the current date?  (If you wanted to use
either one as a journal, for instance.)

  Sure.  Just create a macro for either that includes the Date keystroke (Fn
plus the comma ',' keys) in it.

  There's also some special text (sorry I don't recall what it is...
anyone??) that you can put in the first line of a memo (.DOC) file.  When
Memo opens a file containing this special text, it will jump to the end of
the file, enter the time and date, and then wait for you to do your thing.

Well, James Bond's high tech gadget provider Q
has really let him down this time.  If you'll visit
http://cnn.com/TECH/computing/9909/29/bond.pc.idg/index.html
you'll find that James Bond's computer in the upcoming movie
is none other than a Windows CE Palm-sized PC.  Oh, no!

I can see it now.  James Bond is in trouble.  He has to
send a quick wireless email to M, requesting back up.
He whips out his trusty WinCE gadget and starts writing
on the screen.

Dear N
(frantic sound of stylus on screen, erasing the N)
Dear L
(even more frenzied corrections)
Dear....
Bond: "Damn it!  There go the batteries!"
(sound of gunfire...)
Bond: "Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"
(Bond is riddled with bullets... and is dying...)
Bond's last words:  "I told Q I wanted to keep my 200LX!"
(Bond slumps to ground)

Well, you could always create a macro that will:

1. Press F2 (for a new record)
2. ALT-Whereever (to bring the cursor to the date field)
3. FN-, (to insert the current date)
4. ALT-Your First Field (to bring the cursor to the first field of your
database).

Now, I'm not sure, but you may be able to override the F2 key, but that might
not be good all the time... Probably better to use another key combination, or
even FN-F2, which is pretty close!

The Fn type macro will work as John describes, but just requires a manual step
before you do an entry.  Even better would be, as Terry alludes to, a macro that
automatically executes... like in real database programs (or even some
spreadsheets). Sort of like a calculated field...something that's lacking in the
LX (to my knowledge).

I didn't know that bit about the special text in the memo file...I know that was
a feature of the old (OLD) Borland Sidekick Notepad.  Let me know if you recall
what it is for the LX.

My NetCOM/Mindspring account is working just fine since the transition... =

I'm running CPACK200 under Windows 98. I have a strange problem
connecting to my HP200.

If I go into the filer app (under CPACK) and try to connect,
it reports "Cannot establish a remote connection". However, if
I first go to Communications -> Remote Settings and simply OK
the settings that I see (making no changes) then connect, the
connection is successful. It stays happy until I quit
CPACK200.

I have CPACK200 on another Win98 machine which doesn't exhibit
this annoying trait. Any suggestions? Apart from the ones
involving Bill Gates and large root vegetables please.

hi Is some one can tell me if it's posssible to use the Ericson
adaptor DI27 ( for the serie 600 or 700) as an infrared modem with the LX.

The raison, is I need to have a mobile and I want to be able to read my email
with it.
I found a cheap infrared adaptor (DI27) for US$30 (AU$55).
I do not have any mobile for the moment.

thanx for reading.

Some time ago I found a driver on the Sandisk site that says it's to enable
the 95lx to use a Sandisk flash card.  It gave a range of model number that
included the number on the back of my old 10 meg Sandisk card.  I didn't
really have any need to use the card on the 95lx but out of curiosity I
downloaded it and tried it.  It didn't work but I didn't do much more than
give it a single pass through the instructions.

This might be worth looking into.  I don't remember the name of the file or
the url.  But the Sandisk site is fairly easy to navigate.

Oh, I use music cassettes still in my cassette player ;-)

But their boxes are great for sending fragile items - for example I
shipped my LED lights that I sold some time ago inside such boxes.
Worked great!

BTW: Did anyone of the people who bought a LED light get a broken
cassette box? Just would like to know for the case I whip other things
in such boxes...

If it's trivial to fix a xDB, why do we have DBCHECK and why is DBFIX
still missing?

GARLIC is there since a long time, but obviously doesn't fix all
related problems.

I had a corrupted ADB long time ago, when I started to use my 200LX,
but no severe problems since then (knock on 200LX case).

I don't know enough about BASIC to know what True BASIC is, but
I just bought a few weeks ago PowerBASIC. for like $130, if I
recall.  It is still currently manufactured and supported, and
the company has been in business, and selling BASIC, for over 20
years now.  I bought a learning BASIC book, and have plans to
create a diabetes program, that hopefully, will replace my
built-in database and spreadsheet methods of tracking my food
intake, and insulin usage.  The PowerBASIC program runs of the
LX, of course.  FYI.

Hi,

If some of you have received the new 100 page brochure from the Management
Center Europe training company based in Brussels, open it on page 99. You
will see my HP200LX proudly displayed on the table in front of me. When the
photograph entered the room, I made sure the HP was visible to the camera...
and it worked.

Some free advertisment should be good for our preferred palmtop computer.
Too bad it is no longer manufactured.

I think True BASIC was the BASIC to end all BASICs back in the early eighties,
produced by the fellows that invented BASIC (not the Gates fellow). It worked on
a number of platforms. I may still have a demo for a Mac.

As far as I know, Microsoft still sells QuickBasic 4.5 for DOS.

It seems to me they've made a good choice for the movie.  Haven't we always
said that if you want functionality get a 200lx and if you want it to look
flashy get a WinCE device.  Of course James Bond wants to look flashy. :)

After fairly inconsistent information from dealers and the HP help
desk, about a year ago I asked an HP technician whether the 340 IR
adapter would work with an HP 310 deskjet. He felt very sure it would
not, and said he would be surprised if it would work with any other
printer. I use the Extended Systems JetEye ESI-9580B with the deskjet
310. Great device, will work with most other printers as well. Saves
me a lot of cable changing, keeps laptop paralel port available for
disk drives, and makes the printer available on the fly to any
computer doing IR. My family and I use it with 2 different Windows
laptops, a 100LX and a 200LX. Has its own power supply. But it is much
more expensive than that 340 IR adapter!

Subject:      Re: PCRemot2

Thank-you for the many responses I got when I asked for the location of
the Ziff-Davis file library.  I found the PCREMOT2 program named
"pcrem2.zip" in a large library full of intreguing DOS programs and utils
that I'll have fun exploring when I have a lot of time on my hands.

http://www.zdnet.com required an ID and password to access the files, and
unfortunately I'm not a member.  But for a member, it would probably
offer easy access to everything.

http://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/pcmagvol.html offered access to many years worth
of dated archives of files from PC Magazine. A large downloadable index
file offers the contents of each archive. It appears that finding one
file in that listing of dated archives would be difficult, but this
listing offers a wealth of free utils to browse through at your leasure.
:-)

http://www.hotfiles.com offered a quick and easy way to retrieve a file
from PC Magazine's library by name or search string. "PCRemot2" brought
me right to the download page for that util.

Thanks again for bringing another intreguing resource to our collective
attention. I, for one, will have fun exploring that library. :-)

Daniel,

My box and light arrived in perfect condition.  Also, with help
from Stephan Peichl I have gotten LIGHTON working.  I had some
trouble getting Fn-L to work since the scancodes are different

I'm a very new owner of a T2T 32M (single speed) 200LX from Thadeus.
(Up to now I've been using a 4M-200LX plus 10M flash card.)

One of the things I noticed while playing with the new LX and learning
how to set it up is that some of the drivers supplied on the F: ram disk
were newer than the diskette supplied with the upgraded LX.  I made sure
I was running with the most recent drivers then sent a note to Mack
commenting on the difference.  He pointed out that the most recent
version of his drivers are available via email from a form on his web
page.  I requested new drivers from him and found another driver
downlevel on my 2 week old LX.

Suggestion; request a new set of drivers from www.times2tech.com.

I wasn't having any problems (that I was aware of) but I feel better
knowing I've got the newest code.  Thanks Mack!

cheers... Russ

I too am new to HP-LX computing, but as I understand it one of the
main motivations to high-memory upgrades is to allow for increased
storage *and* keep the PCMCIA slot available for modems, network
cards, etc.

I suspect that the larger RAM amounts also alow you have more than
one DOS session at a time, but not sure about that myself...

If you have large PCMCIA flash cards available and do not want to
use the PCMCIA slot for anything else, then that may be a good
answer for you...

Corrections to any mistakes above are encouraged!

    Subject: Memory usage


        Thanks to all of you who helped me get Hisword working on my 200lx.
It will indeed work from Sys.Mgr. in an 8meg machine and is well worth the
effort of installing it.  However, while many questions were answered, many
more have cropped up concerning this amazing machine we're all so fond of !
         For example,  the More screen shows the following memory usage:
        Filer            58k
        Dos            336K   (Hisword)
        App Mgr.    17k
    This is a total of 411k used.  At the top of the More screen, it shows
103k free and 541k total.   411 + 103 = 514.   What happened to the
remaining 27k of memory ?

      Also, I was considering upgrading my spare machine to at least 32megs
of memory.  However,  all of my essential files are kept on A:drive.
C:drive has almost 7megs of memory available and I don't see where it's
being used, thus why increase memory size?   Setup shows that Ram size is
636k and I think that's a DOS limitation.  I guess what I'm trying to
determine is am I utilizing all the memory that I currently have and if not,
what do I change?

    Thanks for you help!

Kemeny and Kurtz, at Dartmouth, if I recall, invented BASIC and later
marketed TrueBASIC.  Definitely not Gates, who has not truly invented
anything.

True.

   >I suspect that the larger RAM amounts also alow you have more than

True again. And most of the multi-DOS sessions are managed thru Software
Carousel (from Thaddeus).  Some other people use DOSSHELL and MaxDOS as
swap managers (free of cost, but limited in function compared to SC)

   >If you have large PCMCIA flash cards available and do not want to
   >use the PCMCIA slot for anything else, then that may be a good
   >answer for you...

The other primary use of extra memory is for Expanded Memory Services (EMS
(or is it EMM?) for those programs that can use it.  This feature allows
some programs to effectively roll some of their code or data to EMS to free
up more RAM in the lower 640k.

The other main benefits of large internal RAM (over a PC card) are increased
speed and lowered power consumption, and greater persistence of the RAM
storage.  By that, I'm referring to the ability of the large internal RAM
to retain its contents even in the face of a hard boot (at least from
reports...I'm just a wee 6mb myself).

Hi Lars,

>  figured out what it can do?

TeX (with its macro-package 'LaTeX') is a very powerful text layouting
software.
I use it instead of any other word processing software, although it is
especially usable for large scientific documents.
It's (for example) great for typesetting mathematical formulas.

You enter your document as ASCII file with all the formatting commands
(like programming).
Then you run a compiler (TeX) and you get a so-called DVI file (DeVice
Independant), that you can display or print on any device (you need a
special driver for each device, so for example DVISCRS for displaying
on the LX's CGA screen, DVIDOT for printing on a matrix printer or
DVIHPLJ for frinting on a laser jet.

I don't recommend that you use LXTeX2e before you have made yourself
familiar with LaTeX2e on a desktop machine or work station.
You can do it, of course, if you want, but you have to read some
manuals (some are included in my LXTeX2e, but only those that describe
how to configure the whole thing. If you want to learn how to use LaTeX
in general, you should buy a good book about LaTeX.

Since LaTeX runs on different OSs (Unix, Linux, DOS, OS/2, Windows...)
a general book about LaTeX _cannot_ describe how to install and
configure LaTeX. Hence the need of all the online manuals.

Subject:      Durability of the 800CT?
Comments: To: omnibook@elektro.cmhnet.org

My 800CT just came back from HP Service for the 2nd time in two months.

It had been originally suffering from vague and intermittent power and
performance problems which the service center was unable to isolate or fix
(hence it was just "cleaned and inspected to HP specifications" the first
time).

It began exhibiting problems again shortly thereafter...such as taking 5-10
minutes to shutdown in battery mode, and I resolved to use a diagnostic
software to see if I could do some hardware/software checks myself.  To my
surprise, I tried loading McAfee 2000 on the unit and the CDROM drive (HP
issue) failed to get recognized (I had used this before).

Another round with HP Service and the unit was sent in again (warranty
service) and this time they were able to duplicate and fix the problem
(replaced main logic board)...and I believe these were the same experiences
and resolution as another member of these lists (Gary Spiers).

This note wasn't meant to spew on HP (hard to fix a problem you can't see
sometimes), but to warn other 800CT owners to be aware of this problem
before your warranty period runs out.  I subject all my toys to a lot of
abuse...I routinely carry my 800CT in my backpack (padded) and that
sometimes takes a beating.  Those of us accustomed to the relative
durability of the 200LX may have to watch out on the 800CT.

I haven't had a chance to contact HP Service about the reason for the main
logic board swap, but someone suggested that it could have been some cold
solder joints that just broke.

I have a copy in mint condition on six 3.5 diskettes.
It includes the slipcase binder and manual.
I did a scandisk and the disks are good, although
I have non installed it. I can probably come up with
a third party book on WP.
$20 plus $5 shipping.

I have two 800CTs, the older one is a 133MHz with a 1.2GB disk
and the newer is a 166MHz with 4GB disk. The 133 is about 3
years old and my son now uses it at college. The 166 is 16
months old. I carry my 800CT to work each and every day and it
has gone on every trip I have taken since I owned it. So, it
does get moved around quite a bit. MY 800CT is my "main"
computer, so it is also my "desktop" when I am at home, like
now.

My 133 had a problem with the capacitor that maintains the
memory during a battery swap and both machines suffer from
the keyboards gradually getting stiffer. The keyboards are
fixed by a clean and lube job on each keypost.

I suspect you have a bad unit and would insist that HP either
fix it correctly or replace the system. It does not seem to be
performing up to their own quality standards.

Hello list,

I've switched all my PIM topics to PE/PIM in August and use XGREP as program
for string searches.

My database files have grown tremendously and string searches start to get
cumbersome. Currently I know of the following search possibilities in PE/PIM :

F4 : = standard feature for text search within PE. VERY FAST

Ctrl-C : string search in current file. Starts to become slow on big files.

Alt+G : XGREP string search in PIM files. Starts to become slow.

Ctrl+X-R : XGREP string search with predefined filters. Starts to become slow.

Are there any other search strategies which are faster than the ones I
mentioned ?

I run CPACK200 under Win98.  I have found that I get much more reliable

I use D&A software's PE and PIM for a journal.  Whenever I start PE, it =

I use my Diconex 150 (parallel) occasionally.  Has both IBM Proprinter =
and Epson
emulation.  I use the Greenwich serial-parellel cable.
Th Diconex even runs on "D" NiCds (mounted inside the paper roller;
they recharge anytime the AC adapter is used.
Only inconvenience is that the ink jet cartridges dry out if you don't
use them often ... and the pin feed paper isn't quite as nice as plain
papre lazer printers ... but not much is?).  Nice little printer.

 Cheers

I use the Diconix 150 Plus. Take the cartridge out when traveling and put it
in something the keep the ink from making a mess. There are two cartridges
available, plain paper and inkjet paper. The plain paper cartridge uses a
pigmented ink which means it does not smudge as easily when wet. It is
supposed to be used on HP's inkjet paper coated with clay! The plain paper
cartridge smudges when wet. They may have changed all that, my cartridge
supply is a few years old.

It can use fanfold or single sheet paper.

It uses 5 C cells, not D's.

It is probably slow by today's standards but it is a neat little printer.

Forgive me if this reply is redundant. I may have missed some threads. With
Software Carousel you can have multiple sessions running at the same time and
switch almost instantly between sessions. Pretty slick. I usually have Lotus,
Online Bible and some other DOS program all running at the same time. Some power
users on this list probably have many times that running.

Okay, let me ask another 'dumb' question, what is the difference between =

Hi, i'm Nathalie (29) medical student presently living in France...
i"ve used my lx100 since 95; now i got a lx200 and have strange software
problems:
sometimes during the day the qwerty row of keys (3rd row) becomes the \F1F2
(1st row) of keys; when i type q for example the help screen pops up; after
10 to 20 minutes it fixes itself (the longest was 7 hours) anyone had the
same problem? it is quite annoying

now that i have sent you my most pressing question i'll wait and see if you
received this so i can give you all my personal way of working with the
little critters :)

I owned one when they first came out. I would say forget buying it as it's
slow
and awkward. But if you need something to print out it will print. But I
couldn't
recommend it. There are alot better options around now.

Jeff,
    I am not a Bible Scholar by any means, but as I understand it,
the King James version is the most common, most refered to,
"interpretation" of the bible, but it has been cleaned up for readers
in english. I *suspect* the Young "Literal" translation would be
harder to read, as that sounds like a direct word for word translation
from the original text, *not* cleaned up for english readers.

    It seems to me that the Young translation is intended for scholars
unable to do their own interpretation of the original text.

HTH, but be aware, I could be *way* off...

Okay, let me ask another 'dumb' question, what is the difference between the
three? Would the YLT be a bit easier for an average person, such as myself
to understand and interpret?

I constantly tote both my 800/166s around in an unpadded backpack or
briefcase and, since I'm the one who recommended them to Longden,
they're both older. I've run W95, W98, and NT5/W2000 on them with no
problems for either power or performance which couldn't be directly
traced to software (some of those Task Scheduler settings can kill you
every time!). I have noticed an intermittent video flicker on one of
them, which I ascribe to dirt around the display, since it's the same
type of thing my first 200LX suffers. I suspect Longden just has a
Monday morning machine (right after New Years or the Super Bowl/World
Cup).

The AV 1769 is actually the the AV 1611 with printing errors corrected to
agree with the original manuscript produced by the translators. The original
translators, 54 or so where scholars nor comparable to translators of today.
This country, it's constitution and laws were founded upon the King James
Version of the Bible. In 1962/63, prayer was taken out of school and the NASB
was taken out of school if that tells you anything. Studies from accumulated
government records and statistics show that teen pregnancies, SAT scores,
violent crimes and divorce increased dramatically at this point. The Supreme
court decision was based on a simple prayer in school asking God to bless our
1) us 2) parents 3) teachers 4) country.

The AV is authoritative, English at it's highest. Flesch-Kincaid method of
computating reading levels shows that the AV is actually easier to understand
despite what others say who are into Bibles for the money. Rupert Murdock,
media's "prince of darkness" is owner of rights to the NIV. The NASB was
denounced by Dr. Frank Logsdon, one of the key men who got this translation
going.

There is a lot under the covers that turns up foul. I would stick with the AV
1769. It will be around for another 400 years if the Lord should tarry.

Hello Stan... thanks for responding.

I'm interested in purchasing these from you.  Sounds good.

Two questions:

1.  Would you be willing to extend me some type of "D.O.A." warranty?
I see where you've run scandisk on the floppies, which is great... but
just in case they will not install... I'd like a little cushion (
either a refund once I returned the disks to you, or perhaps a
replacement "copy").  Let me know your thoughts on this.

2.  How would you like to handle the transaction?  Money Order is fine
with me.  My shipping address zip code is 31410 (Savannah, GA).
I'd prefer that you ship them US Post Office, which I'm assuming you
intend to do judging the shipping costs.

Again, thanks for the response.  I'll be checking my email throughout
the day.

Presumably, Toshiki will translate the docs to English (though Peniel may figure
out all the new features for us first)!

Also, Jeff or Bill, there is a mistake in the SUPER listing for a set of
X-Finder icons I uploaded. The file xfirxicn.zip should have the title:
"X-Finder IRIX Icons" ...instead of "X-Finder Win95 Icons", which rightfully

David,

Well, I recon that it might be difficult to justify to this European based
operation to mail you the brochure to Nevada but you may be giving it a try.

Connect to http://www.mce.be/markets/pharma/contact.htm  and ask for the
"Buisness and Management Solutions for the Pharmaceutical and Healthcare
Industry" Management development guide oct99-jun2000.

Alternatively, you can connect to www.amanet.org in the US and follow the
links.

Good luck,

Surely you don't mean this.  Reread it, do a little "literary criticism"

Hallo

I have a network card with power consumption of:

5V and 300 uAmp

Is it compatible with my LX?

It looks cool, but, as I was looking at the pictures I kept thinking

It's got the neon-color-imac thing going on and it takes cartridges... very
toy-like. At least it runs a proven OS. There are lots of palm fans out
there and it's a nice little information appliance. I got a plam pilot for
my wife recently because she wanted something 'tiny and easy'. I know that
she just wouldn't care for an LX. I should've waited and gotten one of these

(I assume that uAmp is milli-amp) Probably not, you need a card that is less
than 150 uAmp and is NE2000 compatible.

My .02$ but I'm sure there are others on this list who can give more
complete answers. A lot of work has been done, by some key indivduals here,
in getting good ethernet connectivity for the LX.

Cool! If your card is really 300uA (less than 1/3 of 1mA) then a lot of folks
would love to know what sort of card it is:-). It'll surely have no power
problems in any computer, including an HP LX. The only remaining question
would be software compatibility: can you find a driver that supports it on the
LX.

However, I fear that your card actually has a power consumption of 300mA,
nearly a third of an amp, and the LX's power supply is rated to provide the
PCMCIA slot with 150mA max. Sometimes you get lucky and can exceed that by
some small amount, but the likely consequence of sticking a 300mA card in an
LX is that the LX locks up entirely.

I appreciate the confidence... 8-)   But I'm looking forward to

Hi Stephan,

> 5V and 300 uAmp

Do you really mean uAmp?
300 Mikroamp=E9re???
0.3 mA?

The limit lies at 150 mA, so you could use 500 of these cards
simultanously, in theory!=20

I think it is 300 mA (3com really writes uAmp on their Website!).
And it is not Ethernet but Tokenring.
Why not Tokenring on the LX?

Funny thing, but the first thought that popped into my head when I saw the

bottom edge made it look like a Furby with its beak open!

Actually, the descriptions make it look like a very interesting device.  I

The KJV is the know quantity, produced by the finest group of scholars ever
assembled to translate anything.   (Well, maybe the group who translated the
Septuagint 2000 years earlier would disagree.) Authoritative, and the Gold
Standard to many.

The other two are personal translations from the mid-1800's.  The
philosophies of the three are,

 -  KJV:  Translate the language so that an English reader would have the
same understanding as a 1st century Greek reader.  If a term is ambiguous in
Greek, pick a similarly ambiguous English word or phrase.  On the other hand,
if an idiom in the 1st century usage would have resolved the ambiguity, the
KJV would have chosen a similarly clear translation.

Young's literal does not try to resolve any ambiguities.  It is a word for
word translation, with no information added.  This is the hardest to follow,
but you are as close to reading Greek as you will get.  That has good points
and bad points.

The Darby is more like the dynamic translation used in the New International
Version.  If Darby thinks that his years of study have resolved an ambiguity,
he translates it that way.  This is the easiest to follow, but you are stuck
with Darby's errors and prejudices.

They work well in tandem.  I don't use the Scholar any more because of file
space, and because the Greek & Hebrew lexicon's do everything that the
Literal ever could.  I would rather give the disk space to the Scofield notes
than to the Darby.  (They are similar in view point.)

Hope that helps.

Jeff, not that this is relevant, but my family and I really like
the NIV.  I find it very easy to read, and understand.  I am not
very advanced, when it comes to understanding the bible, because
I don't read it enough.  Our Pastor, or guest speakers, at our
church will either read from the KJV, or the NIV, but usually
they will use the NIV.

Prior the using HisWord on my LX, because I could not get the
Online Bible to run on my LX, and the author of Online Bible
program personally telling me it would not run my LX, I used the
NIV Study Bible for years.  Yes I know there a users out there
that have the OLB program running on their LX, so if I ever
wanted to get around to it, I could order the KJV module from
the OLB company, so I could have the most used versions that my
church uses, on my LX, but the two I use, the NIV, and the AV do
the trick just fine.  Good luck in your studies.

I would imagine that the normal diabetic does not have access to
the power of a full blown computer, stashed in their pocket!  So
combine the latest knowledge of diabetes, along with the
capabilities of managing it, with the LX, and we are pretty as
close to having an artificial pancreas as we can be, without an
implant.

I want to apologize to all the LX'ers out there, who requested a
copy of my methods of using the built-in database and the
built-in Lotus 123 program, to tightly control my diabetes.  I
spouted off that I would be happy to send anyone who requested
my methods, before I fully thought out my offer.  I do this a
lot, as some may know, the spouting off thing.  :-)

I am working on documenting, to the best of my abilities, how to
use my methods, so that when I do send out my files, the users
will know exactly how to use my methods, without being left in
the dark, from lack of proper documentation.  After I started to
document my methods, I discovered that there were some things
that I could make easier to understand, by making some minor
revisions to my methods, so as I am working on these directions
as best as I can, so to those still waiting, please be patient.

At this same time, I just bought PowerBASIC, and am trying to
learn it, so I can eventually write a custom program to replace
the built-in database & spreadsheet methods, I currently use.  I
haven't used BASIC since high school, and that was 1977, dating
myself here, but not too bad, as compared to the average LX
user, that still uses DOS.  :-)

Not that between being a father of four, and recently finishing
the construction of our new home, and starting a Mechanical
Engineering degree program at U of M, does not keep my busy
enough.  I'm sure that we are all busy, so I am not asking for
pity here, just patience.

I've given Going Postal GP a test drive and it works well w/ one of my

I downloaded something w/ attachments and wanted to view them. Couldn't find

it that I must register first?

I've frittered thru the documentation and haven't found my answer yet.

We're 'in the field;' (Army for "camping"); so I don't need the answer right

Hope this finds you all well,

A small clarification; only the current session is "running".  All the
others are suspended and swapped out.  Software Carousel is a task
switcher, not a multi-tasker.  It is still a great product, I use it
a lot, but you do need to realize that swapped out sessions are stopped

Subject:      DOS 5.0 Rename Question....

Howdy DOS fans....

Got a question re: DOS file renaming.

I'm a *big* believer in DOS and have a problem w/ file names that I think my
palmtop and DOS can solve.

OK, the question: is there a way to sequentially rename all files in a
subdirectory I mean the 8-char, first part (pre-fix?) not the "dot-three"
last part (suffix?)?

The list has (seemed to) come to the conclusion that the LX isn't much use
w/ digital cameras ... most come w/ a faster, 2", *color* LCD screen that
lets you preview your shots, etc. *BUT* our digital camera (at work) has an
annoying file-name convention that allows for duplicate file names in
different directories that I want to fix.  I want to rename the files to
avoid duplicates when I move files from the CF *cards* to a single computer
directory.

BTW It's a Nikon CoolPix 950 and it's *GREAT* (except for about a
half-second delay between pressing the button and it actually taking the
photo).

It's naming convention is to put all the shots in a directory and naming
them dscn0001.JPG thru dscn<insert your shot number here>.JPG. The bad thing
is that, if I change CF cards in the middle of an event, it starts w/ 0001
again.  If I want to keep all the files in the same subdirectory, I have to
(painfully) rename the files by hand.....  (you can see that I'd want to
leave the ".jpg" on the end....). I figure I can put my CF card into the
PC-card adapter; then into the palmtop, for a "global" file rename. Is there
a "DOS switch" I'm unaware of here, that'll help me out?

I don't care if it takes a batch file (or small program), but I'd prefer an
"easy" answer.  Failing that, I've thought of typing "DIR > control.txt" and
using "control.txt" {after editing out a little junk at the top and bottom
of the resulting file) as a batch file controller of sorts. Problem is that
I don't really know *how* to do that, just that such a file list might be a
possible control for such an operation. I suppose I could do something in
BASIC; but that would 1) require loading BASIC onto my LX and 2) doing a LOT
more thinking than I had planned! <BASIC has "basically" faded from my
personal memory>.

TIA for any help.

I recall there was a util in my BBS days that autorenamed any new file with
the same name with a higher number..So I guess there is a way to do it.
Dont recall the way it was done tho.

 think so:

example:

ya got a whole load a files named abc{something}.txt to rename them to
xyz{something}.txt do 'ren abc*.* xyz*.*'

I do this with my camera to rename files as well. I replace the first 4
chars with a date like 1231. So in your case:

On Decemeber 31st
----------------
ren dscn*.jpg 1231*.jpg


Does that work fer ya?

Online Bible DOS should have a DOS unlock. I don't know if the file format in
8.01 is compatible with DOS. 6.xx and 7.xx were. Online Bible has made changes
in its directory and file structure in versions later than 8.02 I think. If
the file format. I should have the older files but you would need the DOS
unlock disk.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hi Folks,

I posted about Netcom problems. It seems to be confined to
Netcom alone, not Mindspring, nor Earthlink.

The customer in question has reverted to using a scripted
login. It seems that his node does not use the CHAP login
protocol. I don't understand why his particular connection
does that, but in the meantime he told me he has used the
script he made (based on the ISP_PPP_Script (see WWW.CFG) and
it worked a dozen of times without failure.

To make things even more interesting, a customer from Hong
Kong has a new ISP and CHAP does not work, however a script
(looks awfully like the ISP_PPP_Script) DOES WORK. Great!

I am pleased for both customers.

What I find rather peculiar is that while most ISPs seem to
have moved to using CHAP, it appears that Netcom (in at least
one customer's case) and this ISP in HK do not use CHAP for
logging in.

CHAP is a "better way" to do things. In a notmal script, you
receive a prompt from the ISP's login server asking for the
login id, and you send it. Then they ask for the password, and
you send it. This is incroporated into the script which waits
for a specific prompt and sends specific information fields.

You can all imagine that eash ISP has a different way to "do
business" and the prompts can vary a great deal. E.g. Login:,
login-, username, account-id, account-id: etc --- all of these
are meaning more or less the same, but the "wait for prompt"
must change, so the system can identify the right string of
characters when it arrives. If your program waits for "User
Id:" but the ISP sends "User ID:" the wait will fail - note
the different case of the letter d in the word id.

Needless to say, this variability makes for a busy tech
support :) --- We have to figure out what is sent and put it
in the script - or teach the customer to do it. Painful, eh?
:-( ...

Note too, that the password is transmitted in the clear! If
anyone "listens" to your line, they have your id and password.

Enter CHAP: This protocol has been around for years. Contrary
to Microsoft's imagination, they did not invent it when they
incorporated it into the Dial-Up Networking as the default
login protocol for Win95. But certainly Win95 gave a boost to
the popularity of CHAP :-) ... CHAP works more or less like
this: In CHAP, the two machines (programs, ultimately) talk to
each other via a set of architected exchanges. One program
requests information by sending a character with some value.
The other program complies, and requests other information.

In short, the "discussion" is architected, and not arbitrary
like the prompt strings (see above). This makes Tech Support
and customers HAPPIER!

But another item was built into CHAP: The password is no
longer sent in the clear. This is a big item. The ISP server
picks up some random string of characters, adds the login id,
the password as it knows it in its own records, and
mathematically processes it to come up with a very large
number. The mathamatics involved is complex, and this is not a
good place for it, but the algorithm is public and you can
check it out by looking for MD5 (the name of the algorithm.)

This number has two unique attributes:

1. Because of the algorithm, the number is unique. I.e. there
is no other string of characters that will create the same
long number.

2. There is no way to "reverse engineer" the number into its
original components.

#1 means the number is a unique representation of your
password! You change 1 bit in the password and the number is
different. Further, no other combination will yield the same
number.

#2 means that you can shout out that long number in the super
market - no one can work backwards and get your password from
it.

So: During login using CHAP, the server sends to the client
program (in our case it is WWW.EXE) the random component. This
is safe to send out - it is just a random string. The client
puts together the login, the password and the random number
and "does a MD5" on it. It comes up with a very long number.
This number is sent to the ISP login server. The server now
compares the two numbers. If they match, you authenticated
yourself. If not, too bad...

Guess what? Password NEVER travelled in the clear, in fact
never travelled, EXCEPT as a component in the algorithm that
creas the long number. But it is irretrievable from that
number - the algorithm is called "one way" - it encrypts, but
cannot be decrypted. So no one listening can figure out your
password.

That is why many ISps have moved to CHAP - no headaches with
scripts, safer logins. We had this supported since about
December 1996 in the product, maybe early 1997, don't
recall...

It is beyond me why an ISP would still remain on a script and
not switch to CHAP. But some big ones do: Compuserve, some
accounts in IBM Net (now AT&T Global Networks), and now I hear
about Netcom moving back to it. Oh well...

BTW, we built CHAP because one of our ferocious Beta Testers,
Fred Kaufman (has been known to hang out here <g>...) wanted
to use AT&T as his ISP, and they used CHAP (even before it was
in the MS Win DUN). Thank you Fred for insisting :-) ...

I get a daily weather forecast emailed to my pager from a Micro$oft
Mobile. It's in pure ascii and I just set up a line in my .procmailrc to
forward it to my pager. I forget the URL, but it's a service that
Micro$oft just bought. I have been using it for about two years now. I'll
try to remember to look at the name of it on my pager tomorrow before I
delete it, but I'm pretty sure it's Microsoft Mobile.q

As usual, Microsoft didn't use the standard CHAP protocol
(described in RFC 1994 - dated August 1996), but had to
implement their own extensions (RFC 2433 - dated October
1998).  This is the reason why DosPPP can't talk to ISP's that
only support Microsoft's version of CHAP instead of supporting
the real CHAP and allowing MSCHAP as an option.

Might want to check your setting on infobeat, or whatever it is
called now. I get it too, have for several years, in straight text,
no html nothing fancy. There is probably some setting in your profile
to get it to send straight text.

Used to use it years ago. Nice manual, lots of extra helps and source code they
make available for more $$$. I recall the math processing is not as fast as MS C

I don't have the OLB running on my HP200LX.
I run the folio version of The New World Translation
and the BibleMaster versions of the NIV and NASB  (have the
KJA
in that but don't use it so removed it.)

I briefly ran the ISSC - Oxford Library version of
The New English Bible but the colors were a pain and the
utilities poor so I removed it.


BTW If anyone comes accross a copy of Ellis Enterprise's
"New Bible Library" (using ISSC) (not the same as their
"Bible Library" or "Bible Library for Windows") I am in the

It has a copynof the "Jerusalem Bible" onit and I would love

I had exactly the same need, but I had a copy of IBM Rexx to play around
with.  Took just a couple of lines to code.  Sorry, the program's not much
use to you unless you get a Rexx interpreter on the LX (I think there's a
demo version around somewhere that would handle up to 50 lines of
code..more than enough...but that may be more than the "easy" answer you
want).

Let me know if you want a copy of my Rexx code.

I'm sure Perl would also do the job, but then you have the same problem of
needing to load Perl on the LX.

What I did was go to Radio Shack and get some big rubber feet (like 1/4
inch thick) and stick them on my 200LX.  That works quite well; it's a lot
grippier now, and I've even gotten it to sit motionless on my car window
(the outside, so it's tilted a bit) without sliding down.  Plus it reduces
the palmtop's chances of getting wet if you set it down in a moist spot.
<g> One suggestion recently made to me was to put larger rubber feet on
the back of the unit and thinner ones on front, tilting it forward, so
that the unit will be less likely to tip over with the screen open.  I
haven't tried it yet, though.

You can set the 'extract/decode path' in the options->preferences part of the setup for GP.  I guess you can set in anywhere, mine is blank so I guess I am using the C:\GP directory where I keep GP code.

I'd suggest that if you were using PGP you might want to decode to a removable disk or encrypted volume, so you don't leave plain-text copies anywhere easy to find.

I also only go 'camping' when paid to do so.  No doubt soon my children will want me to sleep out in a tent in the garden, but we have not got to that yet.

You might want to turn on the feature that gives each picture a unique
number. The camera supports that. No need for renaming the pictures
afterwards.

If you turn on the screen, it takes a little more batteries, but the
delay is gone - assuming you mean the delay the camera needs to do the
measurement before taking a picture if it is not told to do that
continuously.

hi friends

thank you for telling me to get virus software (my kernel32.dll is corrupted
by the infamous happy99.exe) i deleted the exe, but winsock32.dll is still
affected

Happy99.exe is a computer worm that affects Internet e-mail and newsgroups
by adding attachments in Windows 95 and Windows 98. When the attachment is
run, the worm displays fireworks. When the displayed fireworks burst, the
winsock32.dll is modified and the worm sends copies of itself when the user
sends a messsage. This worm may create a system slowdown or crash an e-mail
server, while leaving files unaffected.

anyone know where i can get an anti-virus program without long (<2mb)
downloads?


to my favorite programs:

LE editor  le.exe (34k) with large font  le.fon (10k)
hta.exe (97k)
xine.com (1k)
drkr.exe (41k)
quick.com (5k) with qsync.com (1k)
lxpic.com (9k)

i like LE editor because of 2 main reasons
1. i can delete hard returns to bring the text in notes to 250 characters
2. really large font; i tried the other viewers, but none could give me 11
lines of large text, the closest is the 15 lines with quickv.

anyone know of other programs (small) which can do this?

merci
Nathalie

I get the Infobeat weather using POST/LX - it sure looks
like plain text to me.  I think you can get onto
infobeat.com and select plain text instead of HTML.

I'd like a better source, though - Infobeat's weather is
not really adequate - no description for my area (near
Teterboro Airport, one of the busiest small airports in the
USA).

No problem. I'm gladly waiting.

Baen is now offering what they call Webscriptions. For $10 a month, they're
offering what they call the modern version of the old SF serials with 4 SF
novels starting every month (one thid of each book monthly). Unfortunately
the first set of files are in html format and require a bit of work to
convert into files for VR. However, the files are not encrypted and if you
like space opera and military SF, Baen's roster of authors including
Elizabeth Moon, David Weber and Lois McMaster Bujold is outstanding. They're
planning to offer RTF. I personally think that's a reasonable deal and Baen
and its authors, particularly David Weber, have been very generous with
extended samples of their work.

Go to www.baen.com and read the FAQ.

Useful palmtops for sale :

HP Omnigo 700LX new in box with guarantee (from norwgian dealer/shop).
Box is _not_ opened - and  is complete with manuals/batteries (NiCd).

700LX is based on the famous 200LX, but additional it has built-in
docking for Nokia 2110 GSM-phone (maybe other 21xx also).
A label on the box says 'for GSM and PCN' networks, but I don't know
what PCN is.
That means you can connect your phone and still have the
PCMCIA-slot free for Flashcard or other cards.

There is very small and useful software available for email and for
WWW, ftp, telnet, etc.  Just follow my link to my page at the bottom -
under 'more info'.

This is the palmtop you can do serious bussiness on.

I have used my own 700LX and Nokia 2110i/GSM since mars 1998 and I
love it.

Not included :
Serial cable (same as for 200LX)
AC-adapter (uses Nokia's or similar, and it's easy to=09find an
ekvivalent)

I just got my hands on some more new units after selling the first
ones. I want $420 for the palmtop, shipping _included_ (carefully
packed).

I can also help you with getting a matching phone (Nokia 2110).
(I actually have two pcs. now)

Mail me for other details og call +47 9008 4748
I prefer _mail_ from non-norwegians, so please call _only_ if
emergency    :-)


MORE INFO :
I have a homepage with pictures and info - it is in Norwegian (sorry),
but anyway - you can follow some of the many links to faq's,
software-makers, accessory-dealers and much more :

Yup, that's what I use! I get the weather emailed to my pager twice a day
and it works great!

I believe I'm in this boat. The network in my company is strictly
MSWindows. I haven't been able to try out any of the email readers out
there because I could never dial-in. I always get Authentication

Years ago, Laplink was available for the Mac to DOS. Might be nice if some
copies where still out there in some used software places. Don't know about
its compatibility with HFS.

You can always use terminal programs with a serial-RS422 connection.

Don't know if you can get shareware McAfee anymore. If not I could dig up a
copy. I also use an old (10 years?) Viruscan from Parsons that fits on a 360K
floppy. Don't know what their copyright restrictions are tho.

Maybe you should consider a utility that extends the batch language of DOS
so you could manipulate text and system variables more easily.  The one I
like most is STRINGS.COM, available at
ftp://ftp.zdnet.com/pcmag/1992/1222/strings.zip.

It makes it much simpler to create powerful batch files to do this sort of
thing.

I've never heard of anything like this before.  I think the first thing I'd
do would be to be sure it's a software problem and not a hardware problem.
One way to do that is to re-boot (ctrl,alt,del) with your config.sys and
autoexec.bat files renamed so that no software is installed and see if you
still have the problem.  Assuming you can do without any software you load
on boot.  And then not use anything but the built in apps.

If the problem goes away it's probably software.  Then try booting with the
autoexec.bat and config.sys again, but comment out non-essential items, one
at a time.  See what makes the problem go away.  Lines in the config.sys and
autoexec.bat file can be remarked out by putting REM followed by a space in
front of the line.  That causes them to be ignored during the reboot.

If you already know a lot of this I apologize but I don't know how much you
know.

The answer is provided in the EXAMPLE.BAT file supplied with the HP
Connectivity Pack.  You have to load some TSRs first (TKERNEL.EXE and
CG.COM) then you can call the module you want.  For the Translate/Merge
function, that's XLATE.EXE.  You would have to figure out what parameters to
pass on the command line or else you'll end up in the module in interactive
mode.  Then after you finish with that, you unload the TSRs with CG.COM and
UN200.EXE.  This works even under Windows 98 on my system.

I'm looking for a way to invoke the HP 200 LX Connectivity pack,
specifically
the Xlate/Merge function, from the DOS command line (BAT file). Has anybody
found a way to do so?

I have Mix C but I've only used it a little bit.  It does come with
excellent documentation.  I've heard a lot of good things about it from
users.  The only problem is that the debugger doesn't work on the 200lx.
Neither do other symbolic debuggers so that shouldn't be a surprise.

I personally think that Turbo C 2.0 is a better choice and it's now
avialable from Borland as a free download at community.borland.com/museum.
It's a little tricky to get to.  Go to that url and log in as anonymous and
then enter that url into your browser again and you'll be on the download
page.

I'm not sure that TC2 is really a better compiler but at least it uses
standard obj and lib files so you can use a lot of stuff on the web with it.
Also you can do source level debuging with Symdeb.  It's not as nice a
debugger as Turbo Debug or Codeview or even Mix's debugger, but it works
just fine on the 200lx and even handles graphic mode switching gracefully.
It's an early predecessor to Codeview.  About a step above Dos's debug.  But
it is symbolic and does minimal source debugging and it can use Tlink's map
file and line number info.

I am using the Socket Communications Low Power Ethernet (LP-E) card
(Product No: EA0911-101) with the LXCIC and LXEN2216 drivers. I purchased
mine via Mobile Planet. It was designed for use with Windows CE and those
are the drivers and support that Socket Com (http:\\www.socketcom.com)
provides.  All of Socket Comm LP-E series use the same drives. It is more
expensive than other cards but it has very low battery draw ( 35 mA).  I
have used it on the battery pak for 30 -45 minutes without any battery
problems. Other cards have given me low battery messages after about 5 - 10
minutes. I use rechargeable (1100 mA). It has worked very well with GP and
LXTelnet and LXFTP.

English (short version):

Saturday 23rd, October 1999 3.00 pm our traditional international hp =
handheld
meeting will take place.

Unfortunately there is no alternative, due to the fact that the 23rd of
October is the only weekend when I will be at  Munich.

hp200lx and networking:

I intend to demonstrate a palmtop network with:

   - MS fileserver, protocol NETBEUI
   - FTP Server, protocol TCP/IP
   - Clients: MS DOS, WWW/LX, LXTCP, CUTCP

Roger Law offers:

I can bring a 5-port mini hub to connect to your 'LAN' and demonstrate
LanWatch if you wish.

(LanWatch is the protoclol analyser by FTP Software
Inc, taken over by Precision Guesswork, who sell it on its own
and bundled with a 200LX as 'PocketWatch'!!).

I would also like to show others what can be done with cat 5 cable, 6
way modular plugs and sockets, araldite putty and rubber sleeves for a
modular serial cabling system for the LX.

I thought Infobeat was a subscription service.

I'm not sure what Al asked for originally, but I'd prefer to fire off an email
to some service and then maybe 5 minutes (or less) later, have the information
(news, weather, etc) emailed back to me.  This is "demand" rather than
subscription service.

If I don't use the service regularly, it's sometimes a pain to have to get a
load of email on a daily basis, or to constantly have to turn the service on and
off.

4DOS will let you do that if I follow you correctly.

Try setting the focus to the correct type other than auto and that
should speed up the time between pictures.  Also try reducing the
image resolution if you can.

An alternative is to find an ISP that lets you run UNIX programs/shell scripts
(or perl) upon reception of an email (based on a condition). That script/program
can then in turn filter the e-mail and keep only what remains, and then send it
to your cellphone/pager. California.Com (www.california.com) has that kind of
kick ass capability!!!

That sounds like a good candidate for a shell account solution. You can
telnet into a box and use lynx to dump a web page with the info you need.

Or, since http is nothing but a telenet session to port 80 (I think), simply
write a "mail handler" shell script that will telnet to that site/port, retrieve
the page, filter it to retrieve the relevant information, and then spew it out
as an e-mail sent to the account of your choice.

Here is a forward message macros (FN+F7) to add to the ones that Brian mentions
in the ccLXPOP documentation.

{F7}{Enter}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Tab}{Enter}{Enter}--- begin of forwarded message
---{Enter}{Enter}{PgDn}{PgDn}{PgDn}{PgDn}{PgDn}{PgDn}{Enter}{Enter} --- end of
forwarded message ---{Enter}{Tab}{F2}


What it does is add:
"--- begin of forwarded message ---" at the beginning of the message.
It then pages down to the end and adds:
"--- end of forwarded message ---"

Then is opens the address book for you to select an address.

Sort of. I think telnet does some extra negotiation on the application layer
but they are both TCP port connections**. This could actually be done using
netBASIC. Has anyone used this package? I forget where I got it but it's a
BASIC interpreter that uses socket-like communications. It supports point
redirectors like the WATTCP stack.... Aha! here it is
http://www.tennyo.org/martin/software.html

I haven't played with this little BASIC interpreter but it looks
interesting. I'm looking for a Linux version. I wrote the guy to see if he
knows of a BASIC for linux that does what his does.


** Try this:
From windoze do Start--->Run and type 'telnet www.microsoft.com 80' when
connected, cut-n-paste the stuff below into your telnet window. Hit enter a
few times and it'll spit a whole load of http crap at ya.

  Why bother?  MSN Mobile http://mobile.msn.com/ offers this as a free
service.  It will email plain text weather reports on a regular schedule.
They even compress long words to cut down on transmission overhead (ie
"lower" => "lwr") and will split long reports at boundaries you can specify.
(My cell phone can only handle aprox. 150char msgs and it works fine.)

  BTW, they've never sent any "ads"....

Jeff -

What a blessing!  I am aware of no language other than English with such a
large number of translations available.  My friends and I use several
versions and tend to stay away from those that paraphrase.  Most common
are probably the AV/KJV, RSV, NASB (Hebrew/Greek Key Study Bible is my
favorite for detailed word studies), and the NIV (easiest to read because
it uses modern English).  You may wish to visit

http://bible.gospelcom.net/bg/translations.html

for good definitions of the seven English translations available from
their site-- also an excellent place to compare scripture translation.

p.s:  Where did you find the 'Scott' domain?  I like it.

I suggest to add some hints and tips regarding 'key200' which allows
for key redefinition and makros.

I use (f.ex.)
'\'     for  'Shift-Tab'   ('Fn \' gives me back '\')
'Filer space' to mark all files of the current directory in filer
(for copy etc.)

There are too many possibilities, but a guidance for first use should
be helpful.

My answer may not have been frequently asked for, but anyhow, here it
is:

If you run low in function keys for Application Manager (&...)
programs (.exm) then you can insert:

'Fn 1' or 'Fn 2' which is F11 or F12 on the palmtop.

The Shift-, Alt- and Ctrl- combinations are also available for that.

You'll get an error message during setup in Appl-Mgr, but it works.

I find this very useful, since the F1 to F10 keys are usually applied
for function keys of the application (exm) itself.

And if you have ICQ, you can have the same service send "pages" to your ICQ

DataViz stopped supporting MacLink Plus/HP Palmtop a year or more ago; they may
have stopped selling it earlier than that. No, they don't have any old kits in a
closet somewhere -- I asked them.

The kit consisted of a Mac <-> palmtop serial cable and Mac software to convert
palmtop file formats from/to various popular Mac apps.

HP likely still sells its Mac <-> palmtop Connectivity cable, part no. F1016A.
Otherwise, the regular PC Connectivity cable can be connected to a Mac modem
cable (usually via a 9/25 pin serial adapter) for a workable solution (it's what
I use).

File transfer is easily achieved using the palmtop's built-in Datacomm and a
simple terminal program (like ZTerm 1.01) on the Mac side.

The regular (still sold) MacLink Plus, as well as most Mac applications that
have a PC counterpart, handle many palmtop files easily. I suspect that even
regular MacLink Plus will translate palmtop .adb, .pdb, .wdb and .gdb files to
Mac database files, but I don't have a Mac database application with which to
try this out.

Hope this helps...

If you're looking for ways to RENAME using an incrementing fileid take a
look at "Tune FOR" (FORTUNE) in the SUPER site.  I haven't used it but
the doc seems to indicate this is something it can do.

I also got a Hp700 lx for sale...actually bought from the guy above..
Mine has been used but not for long. I switched to a Hp200lx (bought
from the guy above too) after a short time.

I just thought today that I had to sell it since I never use it
anymore. I have not thought through what I want for it..=20

I am interested in a trades too.

What I really would like is to get my Hp200lx 1mb upgraded with more
internal ram and doublespeed. I also would like a Accton En2216-1
network card.. So if anyone have a suggestion on how to do this I would
like to hear from you.

If somebody wants my Hp700lx they could pay for my upgrade at that
german place that I can't remember the name of right now..

If this is interesting for anyone please make contact. I will start
advertising it soon too..

Guess there are a lot of Hp700 around..with me and RS=F8rlie selling..
:-)..but mine is collecting dust so there is no point in having it..

You could download F-prot. I think you can find it at ftp.complex.is
or www.complex.is  and a lot of mirrors. The first download is approx
2mb but after that you can just download new virusdefinition
files (sign.def and macro.def.) approx 500kb

I have used the tip on the Dasoft website regarding Dummyfolders. It
works well, but I have noticed that the .i files turns up "all over the
place".

They keep reapparing in the c:\_dat folder and also in a folder on the
jamdrive f where I have stored some folders.

Why is this happening? I delete them from where they aren't supposed to
be, but some time later they reappear.. Below is from my post.cfg
file.. The files that reappears is not large (20), but they have no
right to be there :-)

thank you all for writing to me on and off list

i did the following:
 deleted 4 files (see below)

Virus Name W32/Ska; Date Added 5/6/99
Virus Characteristics:
W32/Ska is a worm that was first posted to several newsgroups and has been
reported to several of the AVERT Labs locations worldwide. When this worm is
run it displays a message "Happy New Year 1999!!" and displays "fireworks"
graphics. The posting on the newsgroups has lead to its propagation. It can
also spread on its own, as it can attach itself to a mail message and be
sent unknowingly by a user. Because of this attribute it is also considered
to be a worm. AVERT cautions all users who may receive the attachment via
email to simply delete the mail and the attachment. The worm infects a
system via email delivery and arrives as an attachment called Happy99.EXE.
It is sent unknowingly by a user. When the program is run it deploys its
payload displaying fireworks on the users monitor. At this time no
destructive payload has been discovered. When the Happy.EXE is run it copies
itself to Windows\System folder under the name SKA.EXE. It then extracts,
from within itself, a DLL called SKA.DLL into the Windows\System folder if
one does not already exist. Though SKA.EXE is a copy of the original it does
not run as the Happy.EXE files does, so it does not copy itself again, nor
does it display the fireworks on the users monitor. The worm then checks for
the existence of WSOCK32.SKA in the Windows\System folder; if it does not
exist and file WSOCK32.DLL does exist, it copies the WSOCK32.DLL to
WSOCK32.SKA. The worm then creates the registry entry -
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\Ska.exe
="Ska.exe"  - which will execute SKA.EXE the next time the system is
restarted. When this happens the worm patches WSOCK32.DLL and adds hooks to
the exported functions EnumProtocolsW and WSAAsyncGetProtocolByName. The
patched code calls two exported functions in SKA.DLL called mail and news,
these functions allow the worm to attach itself to SMTP e-mail and also to
any postings to newsgroups the user makes.

so,  i deleted  ska.exe, wsock32.ska, happy99.exe,  and ska.dll

that should have fixed it?

Hi Csabus,

If I'm not mistaken there is an X-Finder Server for Macintosh users on:

The SUPER Site
http://www.palmtop.net/super.html
( mac2xf.zip )


or


The Vector 200LX Web Site
http://www.vector.co.jp/pack/dos/util/machine/hp/
( mac2xf.lzh )

Note: For it to work you must have X-Finder installed on your palmtop.

Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.


HTH

Please give the extensions to the files you see. *.i1 and *.i2 files
are to be expected wherever you have *.i files. Do you have a Dir= line
anywhere in your POST.CFG? Do you always start POST.EXE the same way?

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

I hope this is just an ugly rumor and not a real problem.
Now that I've scared you, read on...

I suddenly learned the value of a recent backup of my APPT.ADB file this
morning when my db woke up corrupted.  I wish I had a recent backup, my
most recent was from the 22nd of last month.  :-(

I've just implemented a backup BAT file copied from the help file from
Curtis Cameron's DBCHECK program.  I'll try to run it every day or two.

I ran DBCHECK with the "/d" switch against the bad Appt.adb file and it
found 4 entries that had bad date fields.  Here's a sample:

----------------------------------------------
location: 3131  length: 75  record number: 20
Desc&ription: Marilou Brooks Birthday
Start &Date : 33/100/1900
Data error - invalid month
Data error - invalid day
Start &Time : none
End T&ime   : none
Lo&cation   :
#Consecutive Days: 0
&Leadtime: 5
&Note: number 13
Shows in Week View = X
Shows in Month View = X
Cate&gory:
Yearly  = X
----------------------------------------------

Notice the date; 33/100/1900

Only 4 appointments were bad but they all dates changed to this value.
Their original dates were different from each other.
What bothers me is 1900 is often related to Y2K rollover problems.

I hope we don't have a subtle Y2K bug lurking in the LX's db engine.

Cheers... Russ

  Um..  Almost...  Unfortunately, if, as you said, you deleted wsock32.ska
and you left wsock32.dll, you deleted the only good copy of an essential
piece of Windows and you're stuck with an infected copy of wsock32.  (The
piece that allows applications to talk to the outside world.)

  You should have done this:
     Exit windows.
     Power-off the computer.  (wait 10 sec...)
     Power-on the computer.
     When the memory check ends, hold down the F8 until you get the windows
startup menu.  Choose the "...safe-mode...comand-line-only" option.  That
should get you to the C:> propmt.
     CD windows\system    (or wherever your windows resides)
     Delete ska.exe, happy99.exe, wsock32.dll, and ska.dll
     Rename wsock32.ska to wsock32.dll
     Reboot.
     When windows finishes rebooting, go into the registry editor
("Regedit") and delete:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\Ska.exe
="Ska.exe"

  As is, you may have to go thru the above procedure, but instead of
deleting wsock32.dll, rename it to wsock32.bad, even though you don't have a
replacement, and then see if you can trick windows Setup program into
un-installing and then re-installing the internet access system.  Once you
sucseed and you're back online, only then delete the wsock32.bad file.
(You're only keeping it around until everything is working again because you
may need it to use a web browser to get anti-virus help or to download a new
copy of wsock32.dll...)

  Good luck!

I posted about this program on another thread but thought I'd bring it up on
its own. We actually have a programming language, besides C, that can let us
write our own little TCP/IP apps. it uses the WATTCP stack but I think will
work with any others that follow a similar standard.

If this a Windows version, I am certain it is not compatible with the DOS
one.

I never heard of a 7.xx version for DOS.  Where did you find it?

ROFL!!! Glad you like it! It is one of my own top 10 programs
too. WWW.EXE/Post.EXE I live on, must be #1, then PNS200 - I
uend up using it to kick off many programs via Point-n-Shoot,

Several others too, but lesser impact by comparison.

Infobeat is subscription. But relatively tailorable.

Their weather is limited to US. I would like a weather

I get stock portfolios and news via Infobeat. Good stuff.

Subject:      LXGPS 1.5 Usage on a Laptop.

I'd like to try successfully running LXGPS version 1.5 from a laptop.  I've
used the program many many times on the HP200LX palmtop.

I've bought a laptop for the computationally intensive, power hungry, number
crunching,  engineering analysis "stuff" I do at work, and the usually
boring "dog and pony" MS-Power Point presentations for my management and
some customers...

Since the laptop is mine, I'd like to try some of the great DOS programs
from my HP200LX Palmtop and get them to run on the laptop.

For the LXGPS version 1.5 program, I know there's the EGAGRAPH program to be
ran prior to allowing the LXGPS program to be ran from a laptop.  However I
cant use any of the menu pull-down functions.

My question is simple. How do I do the functions that use the HP200LX Menu
button pull-down functions on the laptop?  I can't use any of the pull-downs
when I use LXGPS on the laptop.  I can configure the LXGPS v1.5 software to
run and partially work on the laptop by manually altering the configuration
file contents. However, to exit the LXGPS program, I have to reboot the
laptop. I'd like to use LXGPS without have to reboot the laptop after each
use.  I'd also like to be able  to select functions via the Menu pull-downs.

On the palmtop, duh, no problem!  On the laptop? HELP! I just can't figure
it out. Surely this great GPS program has been used other than the HP
palmtop.

If anyone can be of assistance, I'd really appreciate it.

Many Thanks!

The LX represents years internally as the years past 1900, so what
this really means is that the value 0 got stuck where the year is
supposed to be. I don't think this is a Y2K thing.

I believe am the unnamed WWW/LX customer. I need to jump in
and correct a small bit of incorrect information here. I never
told Avi that my Netcom node did not support CHAP. The CHAP
script worked just fine with Netcom when I first purchased
WWW/LX, but recently has become unreliable, perhaps due to
some change at Netcom - but they deny this. My current problem
was that, using the CHAP script the login would work about one
time in four tries, and last week dropped to perhaps 1 in 10.
So, I wrote a Q&A script (which, by the way was not based on
the ISP_PPP_Script, but on the login script that I use with
Net-Tamer). Since I started using the script I have not had a
single login failure.

The solution, that works best for me is the HP Connectivity Pac running
with Virtual PC, Softwindows or the like.

For data conversion if necessary, there are a lot of PC-Mac tools around,
including that from DataViz, that is usually included in Mac OS packages.

Reportedly, the old DataViz product for the LX was not running so well.

I've just sent an email to the author seeing if he is willing
to release the source code so that I can customise it for the
HP200LX (maybe even add in PAL functionality, or change the
syntax to match Perl, or ... who knows ...).  It would be
great to have an interpreted language network interface to go
alongside D&A's Robot/LX scripts and my LXTCP compiled
development kit.

I'm not sure the LX could take the quantity of current going through...

Voltage is one thing, but the number of Amps (how do you call that again) in
a car battery can fry a small applicance. That's why you need an adapter --
even for a 12V car battery...

I assume you mean "*.I2" files. These are index files that also contain
some information about the current folder settings. Of course, for
"dummy" folders, they are not really meaningful, but POST/LX cannot
find out whether a folder is a dummy or something useful.

However, they do not show up "all over the place", but in the place
specified in the CFG. If there is a Dir= line in the folders section of
POST.CFG, they are placed in the directory specified. Otherwise, if there
is a Dir= entry in the SYSTEM section, they are placed in that
directory. If none of these are given, the files are placed in the
directory from which you start POST/LX. Maybe you start POST/LX from
different places and so the files get to different places?

I'm pretty sure it's the other way around.  As long as you have a 12V
source, the 200LX will only draw whatever current it needs to operate, so
even with a humongous current source, you should be okay.  However, the
noisiness in car engines could possibly produce voltage spikes that might
well damage the palmtop.  Fortunately, it seems that, in practice, it's
safe enough to use an unregulated supply from the cigarette lighter of a
car; Thaddeus sells them, at least, so they must work.

Have you seen this problems on/at (I don't know what preposition to use

- 1. The link for HPLX Unplugged points to http://comports.com/hplx, but I
never got to reach there.
- 2. The link for HP's interrupts is wrong. The right is:
ftp://oak.oakland.edu/pub/simtelnet/msdos/info/interNNx.zip.
About the first item, can somebody provide me with a copy of LXREF ?

Yes.  Voltage is the key.

The battery charging system in the car might be a problem because the system
voltage goes up when it's charging the battery.  I have seen system voltages
as high as 15 to 16 volts while charging. I personally would not use
anything higher than 12 volts dc.

Electrical noise is also an issue.  You wouldn't believe the "crud" floating
around an automotive electrical system.  I worked on a Marine system one
time that had 300 volt ignition spikes in the 12 volt DC system.

A regulated power supply would help eliminate these problems.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the normal voltage in a car with a
healthy battery, and the engine running (i.e. charging the battery) nearer
13.8V (car radio's, CB's and Amatuer equipment are all specified to run at
up to 13.8V because of this...) ?    I thought these adapter plugs to
allow palmtops/laptops to run from a lighter socket had some form of
voltage regulator built into the plug to ensure the supply to the
computer didn't exceed 12V.

If the voltage is too high then the palmtop will draw excess current (ohms
law - asuming the palmtop presents a fairly constant resistance/load)
overheat and burn out (presumably the internal charging circuit/regulator
would anyway).    I have no idea what the safe limit for the HP200LX
is - perhaps a technical guru could jump in here ?

To answer Nathalie - Adapters don't have to be regulated, but it's
preferable.  The specs from the 200LX manual are 9.6 - 14.4 volts.  The
problem with unregulated adapters is that with no load or light load
the voltage can be much higher than nominal.

It's possible to run the LX from a car's lighter socket, but I'd want
this to be filtered for noise, and regulated.

For Phillipe - The notion that power sources can force current into the
load is a fallacy.  They have a capacity to supply a specified amount
of current.  The current drawn depends on the load (in this case the
LX).  The problems with running from car batteries are:
1 - Noise spikes that need to be filtered out.
2 - The 12V nominal may be as high as 15 while charging.  This is above
    the LX specs.

David is right... when you have a "fixed" voltage, current varies as a
result of the applied load.  Basic Ohms Law: E/R =3D I (E=3Dvoltage,
R=3Dresistance... in this case the LX, and I=3Dcurrent)

The problem with unregulated power supplies is the lack of filtering.
Without proper filtering, the supply voltage can surge and in some
cases dip.  As voltage goes up... current goes down... as volts go
down... current goes up!  This is when problems can occur, i.e.
overheated components, noise, etc. Granted, the LX seems to, work ok
without a regulated supply... I believe it has some internal filtering
built in??  None the less, a few extra dollars for a regulated power
supply is easily justified when you consider the cost of a repair job.

Well, I'm no tech guru - but the specs in the 200LX manual are between
9.6 - 14.4 volts  (12V +/- 20%).

Since the palmtop uses (I think) a switching supply internally, it
won't be anything like a resistive load.  (It should actually draw less
current with higher input voltage - within specs).  High input voltage
might damage the regulator circuit though, so you're basically right.

It's a shareware BASIC compiler that is famous for producing _really_ small
executables. I think that only assembler may produce smaller ones. That's
kinda useful when trying to write apps that can run in even the smallest sys
manager dos prompt (50K). The caveat is that it is somewhat limited in the
complexity of code structure.

example:

other langages can handle this

a = b + function(c)

Asic needs this:

x = function(c)
a = b + x

It also has some libraries available that make the language more powerfull.
For an example application, download the trainsch program from super. I
wrote it 8).

I don't know if there has ever been a non-windows version of Excel. Even the
earliest versions used a Windows runtime package as part of the
installation. There are a lot of files that you don't need in windows in
order to run Excel. One of the list members ahs a web page detailing how to
install a minimal copy of windows.

I'm sure it was not meant as an insult. It's just nice to see a bit more
estrogen in the group. Men and women tend to to have different opinions on
many things. Having more women in the group can allow for more well-rounded
discussions... and maybe a little flirting? Sure, why the hell not?

If they refer to folders that you no longer use: no problem to delete
them. If they refer to folders that are still in use, some
configuration information may be lost: in case the folders are
mailboxes, the I2 file also holds information about whether messages
should be uploaded/downloaded/headers only etc.

Actually, as you point out, http has some other negotiation.  The
usual telnets do have some terminal emulation associated with them,
but this is usually unobtrusive if you are going to do a manual
pop, http, etc.  The http protocol is a bit too much for most people
to remember off the top of their heads (unlike, e.g, POP3 or even
SMTP).

I am surprised, however, that no one mentioned the classic madlab:
  madlab.sprl.umich.edu:3000
This has been one of those classic Internet resources for years.
If you just want Natl Weather Service reports, this is great
(actually, they seem to have added a lot of stuff in the last few
years).  I used to have a script (years ago) that would telnet
there, snarf the latest local weather report, and post it to our
local weather newsgroup.  Once you know what you want from it, this
is a very useful resource (though it takes some initial training).

The corresponding web site (http://madlab.sprl.umich.edu.) is quite
good, too, but not especially text-friendly.

Actually, that's CGAGRAPH.COM from the PAL distribution.

In LXGPS, ALT-F10 is the equivalent of the MENU key.  I don't know if
there's a standard way of doing this.

Now that's cool. You know this has got to be an old system if it uses telnet

Of course you have a brain. I was just trying to make a point that

Yes sorry I meant the *.i2 files..

Yes that is maybe what I do. I start postlx from a batfile which is in a
folder which is in the path. I have not specified any Dir=/System
section.

I will look into this to prevent this problem

This 95lx has been an interesting experience in frustration. <g>

I have an autoexec and config in C: (root) but it doesn't "take".  When
I exit to dos I have no prompt $p$g or no path, even though they are in
the autoexec.

But the palmtop does load the pcmcia card driver from the config. weird.

Also, the setting for using subdirectories keeps getting lost.  How do I
make it stay to Yes?  (and why would that even be an option anyway???)

Can I somehow boot straight to Dos and bypass the sysmgr?

The few women I know that carry palmtops like the Palm Pilot.  But for
myself  I like the LX for one reason.  That's the program List.  If I
can't use List on it, it doesn't work for me. <g>

But then I've been relying on List for so many years (first computer was
a Tandy 1000 with 256k and a 720k disk drive) that I'm lost without it.
I hated WinCE for that reason alone.  I want my faithful Dos programs.
I'm not a Win-phobe, I'm willing to use whatever gets the job done but
for many simple things Dos is quicker, especially if you use the
keyboard more than the mouse.

My 18 year old daughter has a 100LX now, too.  She is a first year
computer programming student and has both Qbasic and Turbo C on her
palmtop.

Let me guess...
  You're probably using the "prompt" and "path" commands right?  Those
commands were added to DOS after the version of DOS used in the 95lx....
:)

  Take the lines:
        prompt xxx
        path yyy
  ... and change them to ...
        set PROMPT=xxx
        set PATH=yyy
  (substituting your own stuff for "xxx" and "yyy"...)

  Does that help?

Perhaps ... but the palmtop's range is from 9V to 15V, so it should be
okay, unless there's a voltage spike.

Yes, exactly!  It's been so long since I've used anything below
5.0...maybe I need to head for the used book store and grab an old Dos
book for this thing.  (I actually have an old copy of Dos 3.? - if I can

Speaking of pagers, I own a Motorola Advisor Elite, and just
receintly turned off the paging service, because I just switched
from a StarTAC analog cellular phone, to a StarTAC digital
phone.  The cellular carrier in my area, offers voicemail for
free, with the digital service.  With the voicemail, I no longer
need a pager.

Even though numeric paging service is available, for $5.00 a
month, and text messaging is available for $15.00 a month, that
both will display on my digital phone, I find that the
voicemail, that comes with the digital service, for free,  does
every thing I need it to do.  I would rather hear the recorded
message, recorded in the person's own voice, that is attempting
to reach me, rather than just receiving a phone number, who I
may, or may not, know who the phone number belongs to.


My Alpha Elite pager, has eight channels of news service on it,
that I still receive.  The news channels are updated every 15
minutes, or so. On top of national weather and local weather,
there is national news, local news, sports, markets, horoscopes,
and charts (top songs & movies).

My point is that maybe you could go to a pager store, in your
area, and buy a used, or a refurbished alpha-numeric pager, that
either still has the news service turned on, or get it
activated.  The news service always makes for a daily
conversation starter in our coffee room at work, someone will
always asks, so whats new in the news today?  The receint updates
keep you on top of who killed who lately. :-(  Just another
option.

The French used to have a very strong input in the HP41 world, 15 or
more years ago. I remember 'Au fond de la HP-41C' by Jean-Paul Dodin. If
you have French, you may see that that calculator-size personal
computer was considered female 'herself'. What about the 200LX? If it

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

There must be several people around who know more about the charging
requirements of the HP-LX palmtops, but at least I have some practical
experience. I live on board of a ship and must care for my own
electricity, wherever I happen to be. I also use the 200Lx a lot
outdoor, while measuring temperatures and other things in mires,
standing with waders on often flooded swamp muds and peats. It is
fantastic to be able to give the LX a recharge while moving to another
location.

Hence, I have been using unregulated 12V DC supply from cigarette
lighters for many years now, also via various 24V to 12V adapters on
board. No problem, even though the LX gets a bit warmer than it does
with the original AC adapter. Especially the 24V to 12 V systems tend
to produce a voltage which I regard near the high end of the tolerated
range. For this reason, I position the LX such that it can dispose of
the heat. When warm, the screen contrast decreases, but you can adjust
that. There are at least three things to care about:

1) Comply with the polarity diagram printed on the bottom of the LX
case.  This is usually regarded 'reversed', and non-standard. Be aware
that the same cable produces a different polarity when plugged into a
reverse-mounted cigarette lighter adapter or with a reversed-polarity
car or board system.  If you have no multimeter, do a spark test by
just shortly connecting from the battery minus pole; FIRST fix a lead
to the pole, THEN contact the plug; do not allow the spark near the
battery or the engine. You should see a spark when you connect to the
outside of the plug, not when you connect to the inner contact. For
those of you who only take the last advice: if you happen to blow the
car battery, immediately wash all sulphuric acid off yourself (or your
friend) with much water.

2) Include a quick-reponse fuse in the line. I use 5A fuses, and twice =
had
one blown. That means I could have blown up my LX (or was it the
Omnibook 425 I used with the same cables?). However, each could only be
blown once. The fuse is the cheapest.

3} You will now rely on the battery PLUS its charging circuit. A
properly regulated system would not produce higher voltages than what
the HP would see as 14.4-14.8 V. That is OK, even though the genuine HP
adapters are regulated not to exceed 14.4 V. Some diode blocks and
some 24 to 12 V adapters deliver, for reasons beyond this, 14.9-15.1 V
DC when the battery is low and the devices are not taking much charge.
I have so far not been punished for regarding this just acceptable
under the mentioned conditions, but do not leave the LX connected when
its rechargeables have reached some 2.8 V. When the car engine is
running, and especially on ships and other craft with many different
electrical devices, peak voltages much higher than mentioned may
occur. These may not usually survive long enough in the positive part
of the system, as far as I understand, but they may
occasionally affect the negative part. In my case, this applies to
when I have to do some electrical welding. Rather disconnect your
charging plugs in such situations! Then, car systems are frequently not
well cared for, and they may start charging well above 15.0V for hours.
This could perhaps ruin your HP, and it will substantially decrease the
life time of your car battery. In such cases, rather properly adjust
the charging system of the car first, or have this done.
Basically, the internal circuit of
the LX will 'regulate', that is, change the resistance so as to get
the charge wanted. I do not know how this is performed exactly. If it
just knows about two fixed resistances, these would, with the
higher-than-12V potential, produce a higher-than-prescribed current as
well. If it knows to increase resistance in relation to absolute
voltage, it just produces a bit more heat, I suppose.

One more comment, concerning serial connections while using 12V
supply: I actually blew the motherboard of the OB425, but this was due
to making a serial connection with a running Win95 laptop. The OB425
was off, but connected to 12V DC. The laptop used a car adapter. When
I later measured voltages on its mass plate, it appeeared this had a
varying potential between -7 and +7 V. I remember Lind, a manufacturer
of car adapters for HP and Apple computers, used to warn HP users they
needed, because of the unusual polarity, an extra safe type of adapter
when used in connection with other brands of computers and devices.
Most computer manufacturers warn you should not make an electrical
connection (the HP serial cable is an electrical connection as well)
while devices are running, even though there is usually no problem.
They will refuse reponsability and guarantee applications. Since then
I try to use IR data connections whenever I can.

> Can the older *.I2 files be deleted?

Sure, but whay does it bother you so much? BTW, Next time you
open the dummy file, it will be recreated. Deleting the .I*
files will create various havoc :) ... For example: the .I
file is the inbox, and deletion will give you back a lot of
time, no need to reply to email :), but also some measure of
hassle. I1 and I2 contain indexes into the file, as well as
info about the status of the .I file itself (download, upload
etc...) The hassle with I1 would be that it will be recreated
at startup time, when Post/LX goes through the file and tries
to determine the number of messages in it (dummy has none, but
still the operation will proceed to determine exactly that,
and stach the info in .I1 file.)

The I2 file deletion would mean that the folder will be
treated by defaults. In Email files it means you lose any
specs you set up re Headers only, or upload but no download
and other such info. In dummy it is meaningless. When Post/LX
open the dummy file it determines that I2 is missing, creates
one and give the file the default attributes, then stashes the
info in the newly created .I2 file.

Back to square one! :)

What you may wish to consider is placing the dummy files in a
directory all of their own, and never look in there, to
reduce the irritation. You can specify the directory in the

Subject:      Backlighting...
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

I have a question about the backlighting upgrade...

I usually have my LX plugged in to an AC adapter all day when I'm at
work. If I were to get the backlight upgrade, I foresee that I would
have the backlighting on continuously through out the day.

Is there a "life expectancy" for the backlighting? Would it ever "burn
out"? Is there any reason I shouldn't be able to have it on all day
every day?

TIA,
Steve

I believe the backlight will be controlled via a 'hot key'.

Carole,
I didn't.  The database wouldn't even OPEN in the Appointment Book; I
had to use my 2 week old back up copy.  This has taught me to make more
frequent backups and ensure they good by runninmg DBCHECK.

Right. I understand that we'll be able to turn it off. But I'm thinking
I would probably want to leave mine on all the time (intentionally).
Was just wondering if leaving it on all the time would eventually burn
it out.

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

Hello folks.  I need a little help with a little problem.  I have been
using lithinium batteries for at least 6 weeks (I have lost count,
really).  My concern is how to tell it is time to change them.  I am used
to the slow death of alkalines, which give plenty of warning, and I have
heard that lithiniums don't give you much warning when they die.   Right
now they are at full charge, and I am very happy with the
price/performance aspect ($5 a pair).  I am used to a careless approach
when changing batteries, and only got burned once (writing to flash).
The point is, I am nervous about being given enough warning to go buy
another pair, or to change it if I have one.

TIA

Domingo

Hi Terry & Members,

LE is a Japanese text editor/viewer it can be download from:
http://www.vector.co.jp/pack/dos/util/machine/hp/


Also you'll need fonts from the Jkit before it will run/work if I remember
correctly.

Thank you Greg.

I should have asked you directly, but I had misplaced your email address.
Thanks for such a great program.  The 1.5 version, with the ability to
"zoom" is very good.  It is stable and I keep a track on my palmtop for
hours.

Again, Thanks!

I had a hard time with a person in a newsgroup that called my mailer

the ones already there..

I am not clear on how this should work.

If somebody sets a follow up group and I reply to that message it
should just show the follow up to group in the To: field..is this correct?

Is this what Post/lx do? Could anybody tell me how this should work,
and how Post/lx handle this?

I could not find anything in the helpfiles regarding this..

Hey!

Just though I'd let you know I managed to run my 200LX using a BatterySAVER
POWERPAK (http://www.icpglobal.com/) solar power source. It comes with a regular
car lighter female plug, so I had to use a multi-voltage, dual polarity
(switchable) lighter adapter with the BatterySAVER POWERPAK, and voila! once
there was enough sun, my 200LX suddenly realized it was plugged to an adapter!

The Sportsman's Guide (www.sportsmansguide.com) recently had the BatterySAVER
POWERPAK on sale for 16.95$. Not a bad deal.

I use Lithiums; I run them until I get the low battery warning.  At that
point I try to leave the 200LX turned off until I can replace them.  If
I have to use the LX in this state it's usually only to look at my
appointment book or get a phone number; something quick.  I always have
a spare pair of Lithiums with me so I can replace them within an hour or
two. Worst case is they die during a meeting and it'll be an hour or so
before I get to my spares back in my office.

I've been running this way for about a year and a half.  I also keep an
eye on my backup battery and change it every 6 months; it's only $1.30,
cheap insurance.

Cheers... Russ

I seem to recall Microsoft had a dos product once upon a time call
Multimate or something like that... It was not a very good product.
Even if you could find it, I think you'd quickly go running back to
Lotus... Just my $.02

FWIW, I have been a palmtoper for 6 years, hplx'er for 5, and I have
*yet* to see someone live with an hplx (though one of my doctors
confessed to owning one once) .  .  .

Paul,

The ALT key(s) on the Laptop keyboard should work the same as the MENU

Nope.  Linux won't run on the 200LX.  There's a project to make a version
called ELKS (Extended Linux Kernel Subset) that would run on 8086
machines, but it hasn't yet produced something that runs on the 200LX as
far as I know.  Does anybody have the URL handy?

HOWEVER, Minix will run on the 200LX.  It does multitasking and, thanks to
Mack Baggette, no longer crashes the palmtop.  Check it out at
http://minix.hplx.net.

It doesn't appear as if much has changed since the last time I was there,
which was well over a year ago...

Is it useful on the LX? Can I run, say, the C compiler and a text editor
(or tetris :-) simultaneously without the editor slowing to a crawl while
it compiles?

Having UNIX on your LX is all well and nice, but it'd be so much better if
it was also useful...

much has changed, the site just hasn't been updated yet... I follow the

The good news it's come a long way, the bad is it still hasn't been tested

That's what the standard pc card type 2 versions are sold and advertised
as.  I believe the Socket EA is no longer in production as the Socket LP-E
does everything the same and has lower power consumption.

I'd like to know if anyone has tried the compact flash version of the LP-E
(don't have the name handy) as it boasts almost half the draw of the regular
LP-E.  also would be interested in hearing if anyone has tried the combo
LP-E I/O card (10bT + serial) with the hplx.

Yep.  Some of the networking gurus are working on getting support for the
Accton network card and other NE2000 clones, so you could do networking
under Minix.

mobile.msn.com offers weather in many US places, but no

Their message sometimes identifies the place sometimes not,

does not happen. They violated once or twice the "quiet time"

the "curfew" I requested.

But all in all, with the shortcomings and slight chauvinistic

You connect fine.

> Remote modem hung up.

Your modem wants to use a compression and error correction
protocol that is unknown and incompatible with your ISP. The
ISP hangs up.

The remainder seems to be your software assuming it has
established a connection and it tries (desperately) to make
some sense of the garbage signals that are on the line.

You probably need two things:

(1) find out from the ISP what are their modem parameters.

(2) Your own modem's manual with the commands, and set up the
commands so the modem is compatible.

After that there is a chance you could connect successfully.

One item I noticed is the disparity in speeds - your modem
seems to want to connect at 56kbps while the other side
connected at 14.4kbps. :6kbps may have certain error
correction parameters set up that the other side does not
anything about.

I am considering a trade of my 3 mo. old Psion 5 for a HP 200LX 2MB or
4MB unit.  I would also like any extras such as the connectivity pack
and AC adapter with the unit.  The Psion 5 is in excellent condition.
It comes with a serial cable, PsiWin sync software and many software
titles loaded on the computer such as Email, Web, and RMR News (UseNet
news reader).  If you have a HP 200Lx which is also in excellent
condition, with a tight hinge, no scratches, etc and you would like to
trade, please email me at rprokic@mindspring.com

Please send me details of what you have to offer and the condition, etc.

Thank you,

Hi Neill,

>I tried finding this, but no luck. Is there a URL ??

The file you are looking for is not named, "DOS21.zip".  Here is a clip
of my original post for your convenience:

"Search the SimTel site for a DOS file called DO21.ZIP.  That free
utility will do what you want, and a WHOLE lot more.  :-)"

The free "DO" util is amazing in that it offers simple solutions to a
whole lot of different problems but few know of it's existence. It's been
buried within the SimTel DOS archive for a long time.

If you can't find "DO21.ZIP at the SimTel site, just let me know and I'll
take some time to go look it up again.

Cheers!

BTW, please post your impressions of the free "DO" util. :-)

There is no need for apology.  We all lead incredibly busy lives.  Being

About 30 minutes from say 2.40V to dead. Your results may

I'd like to help but I am afraid I have no idea what this

We're an underground movement<g>.

But actually, my experience is the same...only have seen one person with an
HPLX in my 5 years of palmtopping.  He was an HP employee shopping at the
local Frys in LA (El Segundo)..maybe one of you guys?

I guess we classify as a statistical blip!

I seem to recall Multimate being the old MS wordprocessor also... and
Multiplan was their spreadsheet (used a format called SYLK or something
like that).

There's also a medical newsgroup, hp200.medical, on news.hplx.net, for
anybody interested in discussing medical uses of 200LX.  There's not much
traffic, but perhaps it's time to change that.  <g>

Try to use a filename completition utility (such as DOSED - I think
you'll find it on simtel. I could send you a copy, if you want).
Load it resident,
Make sure there are no other files in the directory beginning with 'p'
and 'r' than your problematic files (move others temporarily into
another dir).

then enter=20
DEL R
and press tab.=20
this could solve your problem for the R HU file.
Do the same with P for the other file.

Maybe you can manage it also without such a utility by entering
DEL R*.* and DEL P*.*, if no other files beginning with R are=20
in the directory.

No.
The number of Amps (=3Dcurrent) is regulated by the voltage (12V) and the
inner resistance of the device.=20
The 'Amps' are not _in_ the car battery. In the car battery is a number
of _Amp=E9re-hours_ (that's the capacity of the battery).=20
So, if 1 Ampere-hour is in a battery you can drive a
device 1 hour with 1 Ampere or 2 hours with 1/2 Ampere or 10 hours with
100 mA.

I agree!

First we should ask Nathalie if she wanted to join our 'family' as a
WOMAN or as a LX OWNER or BOTH.
Maybe she just wants to discuss with us just like every other list
member does, too. Maybe she feels annoyed if we begin to 'flirt' with her.
And we don't want to lose her as one of the few a female LX owners,
or do we?

But maybe Nathalie also has fun when 'flirting' a little bit around.

So, Nathalie, please let us know if we annoy you, then I think all
of us won't have a problem with stopping all 'flirtations'. ;-)

I was unable to get to that link ... is educalc.com still up?  The went
out of business nearly two years ago, so I would be surprised if that

Actually I have never seen a polar bear with a lx either  :-)) and they
roam the streets here everyday.. :-))

One advantage to be living here is that I do not need backlight the
whole summer because we got sun 24h...(winter is another story I don't
want to talk about...)

Okey..let say that we are discussing something in a thread in
hp200.hardware. As the thread goes along the discussion "slides" over to
be a disussion on software. (which should be in hp200._software_)=20

You can then (in Netscape mail/news) insert a "follow-up header" so
that the rest of the discussion is continued in hp200.software.

I think that it works like this.. Hope that I have been a little
clearer.

So the question is then how postlx handles follow up.=20
Can I insert this in the Post.cfg so that I insert a header like this:

Followup-To: c2i.diverse   <-example

See below which is a copy of a header from a message on a newsgroup
with followup set.

How do Post/lx react when I reply to a message which has the follow up
set. Will the message go to only the followup group or all the groups
including the followupgroup?=20

Would somebody who uses Foxpro on the 200LX let me know what the good
points are (i.e. why it is better than dBase) and how much space an
ordinary installation takes up?  Thanks.

I've formulated a reply and have sent it to the other people involved on
the project to make sure it's accurate before sending it to the list.  So
a reply will be forthcoming...

Foxpro's mainly better on the speed front. To be honest I have not tuned my
installation on my LX. It's
quite a large program FOXPROL.EXE 481,062 bytes, FOXPROL.OVL 1,300,304
bytes. It's a joy !!.
I have over 50,000+ records...

What did you download it with? I tried several times using Lynx on a
UNIX machine and NetScape on a Windows machine (behind a firewall). In
both cases the download always stopped before the complete file was
there.

I can answer the latter: POST/LX ignores such a header. What exactly is
the header name? "Follow-Up-To:" or so? Did not even know that this
exists. Also I am not sure if it makes sense that your answer ends up
in a newsgroup that you probably do not visit at all???

I am having the same problem, but sometimes it won't even let me load the
web page.  Perhaps a problem with the tu-berlin.de server's connection?

You are thinking Minix, that will run on an 8086/8088 CPU IIRC.

Linux *requires* an 80386 or better.

There was a product Coherent, but it required an 80286 or better.

Minix has been ported to HP LX, but I don't know much about it,
but it seems to want alot of storage space (8 Meg?).

At least he's in the car! In my town a few years ago they
had to make the local diner "off limits" to the police chief,
since he would sit in their all day! ;)

His replacement was arrested for attempting to blow up
his wife - he was having an affair with his neighbor. After
he lost his job he was caught "parking" with his new
girlfriend at the local sewage treatment plant... His defense
was that he wanted to be alone with his girlfriend, but since
he had no money and was forced to live with his parents
he couldn't afford a hotel room!

Small towns are great! 8)

At first, men might think a woman would prefer a larger, flashier WinCE
unit, but this is shallow.

Most women will tell you, it's not this size of the unit, but what you can
do with it.

Same syntax works for renames. This assumes that you don't have
multiple files differing in only the one character. If you do, rename
the ones you want to keep or delete w/ prompt. (del /p )

I have used Lithiums in my HP's for a long, long time.  I generally wait
till I get the low battery warning but maybe that is too risky.  I only
recently got a double-speed unit which does use more power and I'm a bit
more concerned about the combo of needing a bit more power and possibly
writing to flash.

I will admit to even pushing the limit more than once when using a
pcmcia modem and getting about 4 or so warnings about low battery and
surviving that.  But then there was no flashcard in jeopardy either.
This risky behavior occurred more than once on vacations with pcmcia
modems.

I don't necessarily recommend it.  The batteries generally fall quickly
to about 2.34 or so, I believe.  You might watch for 2.50 or so???

Others will have other SAFER ideas.

Actually, we have moved our 200LX site to www.palmtoppaper.com.  At the same
time, we left (without links to get to it) old stuff on thaddeus site, so
you can still get the articles you refer to.

The good news (I hope) is that by the end of the year we should have ALL

Saturday 23rd, October 1999 3.00 pm our traditional international hp =

Roger Law offers:

I can bring a 5-port mini hub to connect to your 'LAN' and demonstrate
LanWatch if you wish.

(LanWatch is the protoclol analyser by FTP Software

Yup, I don't believe it was ever Microsoft.  Ashton-Tate published it; it
was Wang-compatible if I recall.

I remember a PC Magazine from the mid-80's that reviewed 55 word processing
programs.  But, hey, *of course* Microsoft Word was so superior to all the
others that it won only on its merits.  No unfair business practices over
the years for Bill G. - never!

Subject:      Solver question

Because of new project that I am doing now, I have to make a formula to be
installed in Solver for quick calculation.  What I need is to find an OD (outside diameter) of one roll of Aluminium or film/plastic material, with the given ID (inside diameter) of the core, thickness of material and its length.
Typical question is what is OD (mm) for 760 mm ID, 0.007 mm thickness and 6000 meter length (I think that the width of the coil is not relevant here).
Remember that it is a roll/coil with a core in the middle.
Anybody can help me with the equation?

Oh no, HP is discontinuing the 200LX. Does that mean I should buy a
backup now? I'd be at a loss without my LX... Is anyone else running
out and buying a backup?

Subject:      text, text, text - my favorite programs on my HP200 (100 really)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain

I was so busy trying to figure out some of the other favorites I forgot
to mention my own.

older favorites:
List - my dos faithful companion (but I'd love a zoom-compatible
version!)
Esdos - a daily scripture program
Docread - I read my Bible books using a version in prc format
HV - so incredibly useful for reading stuff downloaded from the net
Built-in phonebook and database
PE (paledit)
ScriptThing - a Dos screenwriting program
Pkzip
Nettamer - I don't really use it much anymore but I'm glad that it's
there just in case.
Numlock - used for a single-key stroke page up/down.  I love it!
Sleek - a text reformatting utility
Lotus Works - the database is pretty good, at least for what I need,
which is straight .dbf compatible files.

newer favorites:
Qshel100 - downloaded from Compuserve, I think - but it may wean me from
List on my palmtop.  Good little browse program comes with it.
Filini - lets me launch stuff from Filer - very handy!
Dart - an older hypertext reader, adjustable window size is great for
reading long text docs in zoom mode.

Stuff I have and keep meaning to use but don't have time to learn
properly:
REXX
Perl
Tipi

As you can see, my list leans heavily towards reading text files from
various sources on the LX. I don't use sales or business-oriented
software on my LX unless you count my writing-related projects as
business. (I wish!)

I should have put VR on my list but I honestly don't use it too much
anymore, although I did when I first got my LX.  Reading with the
palmtop sideways looks cool but was awkward for me.  I tend to use
either the built-in filer or Dart for reading text on the fly since I
discovered Numlock.

Terry

p.s. I have since been to Baen's website and signed up for their
webscription thanks to the post from a fellow list member.  If Baen can
succeed, I am hopeful that we will have more unencrypted text from other
publishing houses.
(They even make a point of saying their books are Rocket Book
compatible.)

Of course I may have to buy a bigger pcmcia card soon to hold all my
e-text!

While I'm not sure if Esdos would work with any other Bible quotes text
files, the program itself is specifically geared towards using the
Examining The Sciptures Daily book, which is used by Jehovahs Witnesses.
It uses the New World Translation and Bible study references from the
Watchtower magazine, which I'm sure everyone has seen at one time or
another. :-)

If you are interested in something more generic, I know I saw a couple
of Bible quote programs on Compuserve.

<< I would

David will respond to your question about wear.  I don't think leaving the
backlight on is that great of a strategy because of additional power
requirements.  Although these figures aren't exact, with the backlight on
all the time, there may be a 30% reduction in battery life, compared to 10%
if it is on 1/3 of the time.

No, we still don't have a backlight product to announce.  We hope to begin
beta testing REAL SOON NOW.

I currently have two winning labels with can be redeemed for two pair of

the Coca-Cola Company to redeem the prizes.

Here's what I would like to get for the radios. I would like a ME-2000 =

 I
figure this would be a pretty good deal for someone since the radios sell

No.
The number of Amps (=current) is regulated by the voltage (12V) and the
inner resistance of the device.
The 'Amps' are not _in_ the car battery. In the car battery is a number
of _Ampire-hours_ (that's the capacity of the battery).
So, if 1 Ampere-hour is in a battery you can drive a
device 1 hour with 1 Ampere or 2 hours with 1/2 Ampere or 10 hours with
100 mA.

HPLX(myself included).

- Please prune header info from quoted messages. A simple header of
" ON 'date' AT 'time' 'name' <'user@domain.name'> WROTE:" gives the
most pertainent info in one line.

- There is no need to include HTML versions of your POST...it more
than doubles the size of your message, and ADDS NO USEFUL INFORMATION.

- Please also prune quoted material to the bare minimum.

- Please also prune quoted signatures.

I wish all mali clients included a "nag screen" like POST/LX warning of
excessive quoting (Thank You Andreas).

Yes, EL panels definitely have a limited life.  The expected life cycle is
(I believe) 5,000 to 10,000 hours of running time.  We were discussing
this aspect of the backlighting upgrade, and we're pretty sure this will
be plenty of life for most people.  If you plan to leave it on all the
time, it will eventually get dim and stop working, but it should be a
simple matter to send it back in and have the light panel replaced.  I
can't comment on how much that will cost, but it should be reasonable.

Actually it was called MultiPlan and I still have a copy (though I
would not advice using it). I also think that even Lotus is somewhat
outdated by now - that's why I am using the spreadsheet from MSWorks
for DOS. Though I must admit that the Lotus program is much better

Excel and Works.

Interesting excercise! Are you sure the thickness is 0.007mm? That's 7
micrometers! The 6000-meter roll would have only 17mm of material
thickness on it.

Here's the solver formula:

variables:
L =3D length of material
ID =3D diameter of core
OD =3D outside diameter of roll
t =3D thickness of material
n =3D number of wraps around the core

The first wrap would have a length pi * ID. The second wrap would have
a length pi * (ID + 2t). The third wrap's length would be=20
pi * (ID + 4t). The nth wrap would be pi * (ID + 2*(n-1)t).

To find the total length for all n wraps,

L =3D pi * ID + (ID+2t) + (ID+4t) + (ID+6t) + ... + (ID+2*(n-1)t)

or

L =3D pi * n*ID + 2*(SUM)*t
where SUM is the sum of all the integers up to (n-1). This would be
n(n-1)/2, so you can substitute that in the equation:

L =3D pi * n*ID + (n-1)*n*t

The OD is:
OD =3D ID + 2 * n * t
rearranging,
n =3D (OD-ID)/2t

You could substitute this back into the L equation, but the solver has
a convenient learn function that lets you define a variable on the
fly. So here's the final solver equation:

L=3Dpi*( L(n,(OD-ID)/2/t) * ID + (n-1)*n*t)

The L() function inside is the learn function, which calculates
(OD-ID)/2/t and stores that in the variable n to be used in the rest
of the equation.

The first part equation is the length you would expect just using the
diameter of the core, the last part is the extra length due to each
wrap being longer than the previous ones.

=46or this formula, all measurements are in the same units, so if you
want to enter t in mm and see the others in meters, you'd need to do a
little modification. With your values above, except changing t to
0.07mm instead 0.007mm, the OD would be 1.055m. You might need to be
careful when solving for OD that you don't get negative values, since
the equation solved for OD would be quadratic.

The 300 to 425 omnibook series was made by Hewlett Packard in the
mid nineties. They look amazingly like a 200LX but about twice as large.
The 300 has a 386 processor, the 425 has a 486.
Both have an excellent VGA LCD screen (but no backlight), a cool "pop-out"
mouse and 4 PCMCIA slots. One slot has the ROM that contains DOS 5.0, WIN

For Dutch (Europe) readers,

Anyone interested to share and cobine information how we can
obtain information about the upcoming renewal next year of
the HP200LX machines of the Dutch railwau conducteurs in
order to hand over this information to (for example) to Hal
Goldstein (USA) and/or Thomas Rundel (Germany) ?

Recently I heard from a conducteur that the Dutch railway
company is going to introduce a new hardware device with
mobile connection option onboard. No further details
available.

Inquiries at the headoffice in the city Utrecht was not of
any success.

By exchanging information we all could benefit from this
secondheld market. There must be thousands of conducteurs and
proberbly even the same quantity of HP200LX machines.

I have just signed up for the list, as I am finally coming back to the
HP200LX, since I have been gone from it for over 4 years.  I am excited to see
this list exists, as I assume most users aren't on Compuserve (HPHAND) anymore
with the popularity of the Internet since 1996...  I'm sure there are some
list members that probably recognize my name, and maybe even know me.  I was a
user of the LX machine from when the 95LX was introduced, then moved on to the
100X, then the 200LX... before becoming won over by Psion machines, and then
PalmPilots, even a WINCE.  Those were all a fad, and now I have got my senses
back... so I am glad to be here where I hope folks can help me figure out how
to do things with my 200LX again!  Heck I'm not sure how to even do my batch
files, or even how to Stack my card.  Is Stacker still available or should I
use Jam?  Where can I pick up a CF to PCMCIA card adapter?

Boy, I feel lost and don't even know where to start to get things going after
this long.... Maybe someone can recommend to me how to easily get my data
(contacts, appts, and databases) from my Psion 5 into the 200LX.

Oh, and the real reason for replying to this email, what's up with this
backlighting for a 200LX?  I think I would like one, since i have been spoiled
having it on the Psion and PalmPilots...

Subject:      HP Easter Eggs, for FAQ
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

The Educalc site is gone! It had stayed up for a long time after the ceased
doing business...then re-opened under different people (who dropped the LX line)
...but now it seems to have gone for good, and taken with it the HP Easter Egg
FAQ.

Fortunately, I have a good memory, so I have reconstructed the info as
follows...

--------------------
Q. What "easter eggs" are hidden in the ROM of the 200LX?

A.
1. A poem in the Self Test.
With the palmtop off, press ESCON to start the Self Test, then cursor down
to the Display setting. Press ENTER 14 times to step through the various
screens until you come to a screen of example text in the form of a fanciful
poem. (This is not as well-hidden as the other easter eggs that follow.)

2. Another poem in the Self Test.
With the palmtop off, press ESCON to start the Self Test, then cursor down
to the Display setting. Press CTRLENTER. Then hold down ALT while pressing
ENTER 13 times. You will see a cryptic poem, apparently relating business
issues faced by the software development team.

3. Yet another poem in the Self Test.
With the palmtop off, press ESCON to start the Self Test, then cursor down
to the Display setting. Press CTRLENTER. Then hold down SHIFT while
pressing ENTER 13 times. You will see an allegorical poem about the history
and future of the 200LX. (Hint: the prototype names for the 95LX, 100LX and
200LX are Jaguar, Cougar and Felix respectively.)

4. Pictures of the software development team in the Lair of Squid game.
Start Lair of Squid. From the opening screen, before starting a game, type
"gallery". You are transported to a secret corridor. On the walls, a couple of
paces ahead, you will see portraits of the 200LX software development team (step
all the way forward then turn to the side to see each head-on). In the last
position on the wall is a sign with a message from the team. Pass through the
door at the far end, and you will be transported back to the game's opening
screen.

5. System Manager program data in More Applications.
Press the blue &... key to start More Applications. Hold down ALT while
pressing F9 4 times followed by F10 once. As long as you continue to hold
ALT you will see columns of data about .exm programs registered to SysMgr,
along with other arcane information. (This is more likely a debugging tool than
an easter egg, but it is handy for finding the hex keycodes of programs, and
other tidbits.)

Good to have you back. LX support still continues on Compuserve but at a
reduced level.

To go from the Psion to the Palmtop might mean dumping the stuff from the=

Psion as CSV files and using ADBIO and/or GDBIO to massage them into
something useful for the Ptop.   You'll want to keep the following URLs
handy: www.palmtoppaper.com (where the backlighting will be sold, if it
comes to pass, as well as the place for 32,64,96 Meg upgrades, repairs,
etc.) and www.palmtop.net (SUPER site) =


Your address might be unbelievable but back in '69 I got a tour of the
place when it was called Ball Dome Lids. I even got a pass to use the
teletype terminals to teach myself Basic using a connection to a DIA
computer somewhere in the southern states.  I recall there was a satellit=
e
under development at the time.  It blew me away.  I wish I could remember=

the name of the physicist who got me the security clearance to visit the
plant.  Interesting times.

You've got a lot of catching up to do, so I'll stop here and let you get =
to
it.

Subject:      VDE

Does anyone have experience using VDE on the 200lx?

I need more word processing and text formatting functions than I can get
out of Memo or PalEdit (although I really like using both of them).
Specifically, I am using the HP to write my daily progress notes for my
patients.  In the ICU these can be fairly lengthy (about 2-3 handwritten
pages) but lots of the information stays pretty much the same from day to
day.  I have no problem printing to the HP laser printers on the floor by
the IR port.

VDE seems pretty powerful with a small memory requirement and I like the
fact that it handle's the LX zoom modes with ease, but is there a way to
make the interface a little more consistent with what I am used to using
with Memo/PE?

Would it be possible to make VDE like an EXM using EXMBatch so that I can
easily switch between it and the built-in apps?

Also, if anyone has any other recommendations for "word processing"
solutions that are readily available (freeware/shareware) I'd love to hear
them.

Thanks!

Well, you can set up all the F-Keys to have similar functions.  It
won't ever look like Memo or PE, though.  Also the menu can't be
changed except for a set of user-definable keys.  There's a very
powerful macro capability.  VDE also supports proportional fonts,
italics, bold, underline etc -- not WYSIWYG, though.

Yes, but if you give VDE plenty of room to play in, there won't be a
lot left for the built-ins or EXMs.

There's also what used to be called Qedit - I think it's now TSEJr or
something like that.  AFAIK it's on Simtel in the Editors section.

BTW - for the latest version of VDE plus some related software try:

What kind of text formatting features do you need? PalEdit is fairly
extensible, in that you can use external filters (DOS programs) on
selected/highlighted text. That way, you could "roll your own" text
formatting routines (if you're a programmer) and use them.

IIRC, you can alter the contents of the menus in VDE (or was that in
Freyja?), but you cannot make it look like a PAL/built-in application. VDE
will always look like a text based DOS app.

You should be able to do that without using EXMBatch. Simply launch the
DOS prompt (that is, choose DOS prompt from the More... menu, do not
exit the SysMgr) from within the System Manager, and launch VDE from DOS.
You should also be able to add VDE to the SysMgr, and then simply run it
as you would a built-in application (although since VDE is a DOS program
and the SysMgr only allows you to run one DOS program at a time, you
cannot run both VDE and a DOS prompt at the same time.)

While running VDE under SysMgr, you should be able to use the blue app.
keys to switch between apps.

Thanks Ed!

<<LX support still continues on Compuserve but at a

Sounds like the mailing list has taken the top spot for chatting between
palmtop owners...

<<To go from the Psion to the Palmtop might mean dumping the stuff from the

I actually will still have the Psion 5 until I successfully export and import
into the 200LX...


<<You'll want to keep the following URLs

I will probably upgrade the memory, double the speed and get Software
Carousel, WWW/LX Plus and the Collins Dictionary for a start.  I will also
need an AC adapter.  Do they carry the HP slim AC adapter?  How about the

to the backlighting as well...  How quick of a turnaround in service from
PalmtopPaper?

Has anybody contacted HP about the possibiity of buying the rights, materials,
etc from HP to continue the 200LX computer for future customers, etc?  I'd
hate to see HP simply stop selling them, and not allow for it to be continued
by another company.... Sorta like Xircom bought the Rex from Franklin.

I'd hope that Thaddeus Computing would be interested in taking it off HP's
hands.

WinCE sucks... I can't believe HP would quit making the 200X especially since
it probably continued to outsell any of their WinCE models... Am I right about
this assumption?  Does anybody know what the sales numbers actually are?

Thanks for finding that for Neill, Rob. I get the digest version of this

Subject:      New version of DBCHECK available - 1.5
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

I've just posted a new version of DBCHECK, the LX data file checker.
It examines all your palmtop's .?DB files, reporting if it finds any
corruption errors.

The suggested way to use it is to use DBCHECK in a batch file that
backs up your data files, and back them up only if the file has no
coruption. This way, you can avoid overwriting a good backup copy with
a corrupted newer version.

This new version searches ADB files much more thoroughly, since I've
learned that appt/todo/event items are in liked lists, pointing to
each other. I believe this is the reason that "Record Not Found"
errors seem to happen more in ADB files, because there are many more
links to other records, therefore opportunities for Mr. Murphy to step
in (does this translate in other parts of the world?).

Also, the program executes about twice as fast as the previous
version.

I have seen many corrupt files that people have sent me, and there is
only one that DBCHECK does not detect the error in. And I haven't seen
any false positives. If you have a file that is corrupt which DBCHECK
says is OK, please send me the file. I might be able to recover it for
you, which I've done for several people now, but it also can help me
make DBCHECK more robust. Also, if you have expertise in LX data files
and could help figure out what's wrong with this one file, please let
me know.

As always, DBCHECK is available at:

Subject:      PC card or HP200 itself on the fritz?
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

  I have a 1 MB HP200LX with an A: drive that is a PC card, 10 MB, IBM
"ThinkPad File", by SunDisk, purchased Dec 1996, not compressed, filled to
capacity once, reformatted recently using Filer | Options | Format Card.  I
use the machine constantly throughout the day and carry it in my trouser
pocket.  Primary uses are the PIM, Quicken, and reading downloaded text files.

 I am recently getting frequent I/O device errors accessing A: but not
always.  And the HP200's response occasionally becomes sluggish, taking up to
30 seconds of hourglass to save a few hundred byte TXT file to either A: or
C:.

 For example, in Memo I opened file.txt from A:\subdir, made changes, and then
attempted a save (F10) of the modified file.txt back to A:\subdir.  After a
long hourglass I got an "I/O device error" message.  So I saved it as file.txt
to C:\.  Then I went to Filer, and successfully copied (F2) file.txt from C:\
to A:\subdir.  Go figure!

 Another example: browsing in Filer with split screen, C: left, A: right; one
moment A: will allow browsing down into subdirectories and viewing (F8) files,
and the next it will give an "I/O device error" and revert to C: in both sides
of the screen.

 Sometimes reseating the PC card seems to help; other times reseating has no
effect (never done "hot").

 When I turn power on, it _may_ take up to 30 seconds for the active
application to respond (e.g.. up/down arrows), even when the open file is on
the C: drive.  Other times, applications are responsive immediately when power
is turned on.

 My HP200 is running Buddy, Andrew fonts, and CIC100.

 It has rechargeable NiCad batteries; never run below 2.40 volts; the backup
battery (CR2032) was replaced recently.

 Can someone find a clue in these symptoms as to whether I have a computer
problem or a PC card problem or both?  I'm ready to upgrade the HP200's memory
to 8 MB.  Should I throw in the towel and buy another machine?  Or just
another PC memory card?

 TIA.

CAUTION, CAUTION!!!!!!


Since not everyone knows about the selftest and how to activate it, some
new folks may choose to go there.  WARNING: do NOT use the card (SRAM
CARDS ONLY) test if you have a flashcard.  DATA LOSS of all data on the
card may occur.  While not all cards will be zapped, many will and it
will be almost impossible (there are many practical difficulties using
Norton's Disk Doctor or other such tools) to restore.  The card can be
made to work again after and fdisk and format but some folks may be very
sorry.

So, again, do NOT run the card test on any flash or compact flash cards.
It was solely designed to test the older sram cards, the ones with the
batteries.

I see no :-)) in your message so I must then assume that you mean this..

Franklin which wrote the "Polar bear joke" in reply to me knows that
there are no polar bears in Norway/Narvik. You clearly don'nt know this
fact.

There are an equal amount of polar bears in downtown Narvik as in
downtown Stocholm/Sweden.

And please let us not start any whale discussion here..Norway have in
my opinion done everything right in that case. The whole whalehype is
propagande and misinformation from the "pro-whalers"..

If this was ment as a joke from you then please use some ;-)))) then
there will be no misunderstandings..

And _please_ do not reply to the list _and_ to my private emailaccount.
I download news everyday and I will read/reply on/to the list..

I get my email forwarded as sms to my cellular phone. Therefor it is a
bit irritiating to download the same message to my emailbox and on the
list.hplx. Lets keep the messages on the list/newsserver and not as
email..

Thanks...(sorry for venting..)

I am not clear on how this is used exactly. I belive that you reply to
a message. Set the follow up group. Then in the message tells that
followup is set to another group.(this "last" message goes to the
orginal newsgroups too). (State 1)

Then if I reply to this message this message is placed in the follow-up
newsgroup and not in the orginal newsgroups.(state 2). I will check if
I have understanded this correctly..

Se below my sig for a copy of a header which contains the followup
statement.. This header is at state 2.The message has been "transferd"
from another newsgroup no longer in the To: field.. and to the followup
group..

You can use this followup thing to transfer the thread to another
newsgroup if it "fits" in another group instead of the orginal one..

I would like to see some info on how to connect a Hp 200lx with a
En2216/1 card to a NT network. I am afraid that I am a bit green..

I will buy myself a En2216-1 next week. I will then start to experiment
on how to hook it up to my schools NT network to download mail/news
with www/lx and also filetransfer.

I have to upgrade the memory of my hp before I can make it useful
though.. I now have a 1 mb.. large enough to run some tests I think..

I know to little to ask intelligent questions at this point, but if
anybody have any relevant info on this subject I would appriciate it.

I have downloaded Lxcic latest version. Anything more I need?

Actually, of some kind soul would explain why, or better, how to open a

What's the relation between RAM and file size?

Woops.. It's a while ago indeed..Equation should read:

surface of inner core((dia/2)2*3.1416)+surface of sheet(.007*6000000)=
total section surface
Divide this by 3.1416, square root and multiply by 2

You should then have the diameter of your coil.

Does anyone use this program, if so can they provide
a quick hitchhikers guide.

1. What is the function of columns A to J and why are
    the remaining columns in options/title edit greyed out?

2. Rows 1 - 10 are these priority numbers under columns
    if so why does a task that was in A1 drop to A10 when
    acknowledged done with space bar.

3. Frame settings    Yet = yet to be completed?
                                  Before = ?
                                  Normal = ?
                                  Limit = ?
                                  Today = Due completion today?
                                  After = ?

4. The few english instructions advise setting day
    format to SuM TuW ThF Sa, have done this but
    where is it applied?

5. In task entry what does the program author mean
    by Touch date , Limit range, Past/Last.  On the
    function keys Cal.St.?

It appears to be an interesting  program, I like the
concept of getting as many todo's on the screen
as possible.

Does anyone use it religiously?

"Followup-To:" is defined in RFC 1036 and RFC 2076.  It's been
a standard optional Usenet header since June 1983 (RFC 850).

From RFC 2076:

"Used in Usenet News to indicate that future discussions
("follow-up") on an article should go to a different set of
newsgroups than the replied-to article.  The most common usage
is when an article is posted to several newsgroups, and
further discussion is to take place in only one of them.

PNR doesn't do anything with it either, but it could be
easily added if someone wants it.

Well, looks like Martin is on the ball, good for him. I take a little
offence at 'Some guy...' by Lars, but I was going to let it rest. :-)

Though, on a lighter note, there was actually a Swede that got whacked by a
brown bear in the forest surrounding Stockholm last year... First time in a
hundred years! Five cuts across the back. Or was it four? Also, wolves are
starting to circle Oslo...

> And please let us not start any whale discussion here..Norway have in

:-) Well, I am not Norwegian, anti- or pro whaling, see a lot of hypocrisy
about the matter, but the best t-shirt slogan I have seen concerning the
whaling business is 'Intelligent people need intelligent food'. Makes one
think, doesn't it? Much better than 'ancestor murdering' or 'cannabilism'
from the antis'.

Oh yes, prepended fluff: to the matter and will remember to remove Martin
from replies...

Well, anything to do with SETI is about as far off as a good-looking French

It's a 2D Todo list. Hence columns and rows. You can use it as you like it,
e.g. different columns for different categories of todo items. Rows can be
used for sorting by date or sorting by priorities.

When you create a new file for the first time the size is set to 10x10.
10 columns = A..J. Notice you can create a larger Todo file, up to 26
columns (A..Z) wide. Non-existing columns are grayed out in the title
edit screen.

The task drops to the bottom most row when "done".

Yet = no starting date set, uncompleted
Before = start date has not yet been reached
Normal = normal item
Limit = item with limit range set
Today = due today
After = past due

Touch = date when this item was last edited
Limit range = I think this may be the days an item is allowed to be overdue
Past/Last = number of days past the start date, and until the due date
Cal. st = move cursor to date entry area?

It appears interesting. I just started using it a few days ago. Maybe
I should go read the Japanese docs.

BTW, the author's page at http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA014919/soft/
has version 2.3.2 which has some slight differences from 2.1.

Sorry, forgot that when others read these messages, they might
not be from around here, or in some cases, not even on the same
continent.  U of M is is University of Michigan.

Here in college football country, there are two big schools in
Michigan, U of M, and Michigan State University.  In fact, this
Saturday, there is some big football game between the two
schools.  Then there is always the ongoing rivalry between
Ohio State & Michigan State.  Not into this stuff, at all.

People all around have these stupid flags that they fly from
their car side windows, their houses, and even their work
places, indicating which team they support.  They usually are a
graduate from one of the two schools.

I am not a sports fan, so I could careless about these games, or
which school is which.  I just found a school that had what I
was looking for, and also what was the most convenient.

I used to get these .pag files, if I remember the extension
correctly, and other files, that used to keep popping up into
places that I would not have thought to look for.  It used to
happen to me a lot.  I am running a 8 meg upgraded palmtop, and
I try to keep over 6 megs free on my "C" drive, at all times.
To accomplish this, I have to keep a very close eye on the files
on my "C" drive.

I launch WWW/LX and POST/LX from batch files, from within system
manager, using MaxDos, and the batch file for POST/LX looks like
this:

@ECHO OFF
CLS
C:
CD \
cd WWWLX
ECHO STARTING POST/LX
ECHO.
WWW -d "!POST"
CLS
DELTREE /Y c:\WWWLX\TEMP
MKDIR c:\WWWLX\TEMP
DEL c:\WWWLX\*.BAK
CLS
CD \
ECHO ON

My post.cfg file has the following lines:

SYSTEM
Dir=c:\wwwlx\temp\
TmpDir=c:\wwwlx\temp\
ClipFile=c:\wwwlx\temp\

When I use these methods, I never end up with any of those extra
files, in any directories, or end up with any of the .bak files
hanging around.  I find this is the cleanest way, that I have
found, where I can control which files are allowed on my "C"
drive.  Hope this helps.

I have not seen one woman yet, with a 200LX.  In fact the only
other woman I have ever seen with a palmtop, is my wife, and she
uses a HP 620, if you can consider the 620 a palmtop.

I am not implying that she doesn't have brains, because she is a
computer programmer, but I feel she did choose the wrong
palmtop.  I work in an engineering building that has over 5000
people, with over 5000 computers in it, and lots of people carry
laptops, and palmtops, but I have yet to see a woman carry one
yet here, but keep in mind the men out number the women 10 to 1,
easy in my field, which is too bad!  :-)

Check the Yellow Pages for an engraving company within
reasonable driving distance. Try "awards," "trophies,"
"engraving," etc.  Or see if there's a nearby company that
handles "promotional" items or advertising specialties.

Do you think it makes sense to automatically send a message to a
newsgroup that you probably don't visit? Isn't it better to let the
user decide where to post an article? I assume also PNR displays that
header to the user so that the user can decide where to follow up to
the message. IMO, as PNS and POST/LX currently handles that header is
the proper way to do it. Doing things "automagically" without involving
the user is something that I prefer leaving to a huge SW company that
writes software for users who need software that thinks for them ;-)

The plate can be thicker than the one originally supplied by HP. The
protruding rubber footies take care of this. I also got the plate made at a
local engraving store. It then took some filing with the trusted Swiss Army
knife to fit it in place.

Natalie,

Does this mean you play Go, or have I misunderstood which message is from =

 I run version 9 of Many Faces of Go on my palmtop and version 10 on my

From a quick search on the web I see that TPS = The Planetary Society

continued to this list? :-)

The whole term tps-seti showed up in an Australian website where it
looks like you have your own user website.

Foxpro is the best. Clipper should work fine as it's a compiler.

Yes, we tried, but I really didn't expect to get anywhere. There are lots of

etc) that make it not worth for HP to consider.

No one knows, but I have been told by a number of HP people that HP Jornada
(Windows CE) sales are decent.  At the same time 200LX sales have dropped
significantly.  (This is not surprising as HP put no attention on marketing
the 200LX -- if anything there was "negative" marketing. HP didn't want to
confuse customers with the different product line as it believes Windows CE
is the future.)

By exchanging information we all could benefit from this

I am in contact with the head of the program and we have discussed

200LX's that we can refurbish and resell in May.

Business is business is there is no way to know for sure.  However, I
believe we will be in business at the least for another three years
supporting 200LX users with repairs, upgrades, and other goodies. I say this
base on the fact that the HP150 and HP Portable Plus were discontinued in
1986.  We supported users through 1991.  Then as we switched to supporting
the HP 95LX, two of my employees bought the business from me and continued
for another 3 years.

I shouldn't go into this, but I have had to struggle with Rich Hall, editor
Handheld PC Magazine  for users of Windows CE (www.hpcmag.com). Rich is a
former editor of the HP Palmtop Paper, and he wouldn't give up his 200LX!

In fairness though there is more and more to like about Windows CE devices.
I REALLY like the Jornada 820 and the NEC 770 for traveling.  Small form
factor, long battery life, great touch typeable keyboards.

I also like my HP Jornada 680 (200LX competitor):  Color, nice keyboard,
good built-ins, XT-CE DOS emulation.  However, the 200LX size, battery life,
built-ins, available software means that the 200LX is my main palmtop.

I used to have a shareware program called FloDraw. I'm sure I have a
copy in the office. I would be happy to forward it along next week

But only until he puts the copy protection scheme back in.  Of course,
another guy has taken up the challenge and claims to be writing an XT-CE

It's AFAIK actually a IBM PC emulator (the DOS isn't emulated, but something
you load and run on the virtual PC).

But as I use a Psion, and also find DOS compatibility totally useless I have
absolutely no usage of it personally. I just support the writer of it as he

I have a copy of Clipper summer '87 that I played around with but don't use.
I find that the code in Clipper is more complex (browsing, for example.) but
the capabilities are greater. Clipper is also more a real compiler. Foxpro
is more of an interpreter although you can compile Foxpro code if you have
the distribution kit. You have to distribute the executable with a runtime
library (like Quick basic brun). I'm not sure but Clipper may also have that
limitation.

The minimal installation is about 2MB w/out the help files. The help file
adds another 1.5MB. There are also apps that come with it called FOXdoc
(code documentation tool) and Foxgraph(graphing). I don't use those apps. My
install takes about 5.4MB with a fox+helpfiles+a bunch of apps and
databases.

Foxpro was first developed by Fox holdings (later bought by Micro$oft). It
started as Foxbase and was always a 'better dbase than dbase'. Ashton-tate
just could never get together a solid, fast, bug-free product which is why
they no longer exist as a seperate company (Borland absorbed them). Foxpro
was always more reliable and faster than Dbase...(no flames please, I don't
really give crap about either.) At least as far as the DOS versions were
concerned. I can't make any comparisons when it comes to the Borland
versions.

Hi,

Anyone know how to use the @PMT, @FV, and @PV functions?  The help
isn't getting me anywhere...  For example.. I'm trying to calculate
the payments on a $100,000, 8%, 30 year loan.  The closest I can get
to the TVM program in HPCalc is

@PMT(100000,.08,30)/12

which equal $740.23 vs. HPCalc's $733.76.  Anyone know if I'm doing
something wrong?  Or what's the proper way of using these formulas?

BTW, my goal is write a spread sheet that lets me quickly compare
different interest rates with varying amounts of points - find the
payoff point quickly.  And throw closing costs from Good Faith Est.
into the calculation...

Thanks!

Even better (for me at least) would be some kind of flowcharting software that
does the graphics based entirely on text input.

The guidelines or box entries and "decisions" could be entered as pseudo-code,
with a limited number of constructs (remember, we only need sequence, selection
and iteration), and leave the mundane job of box placements and connectors to
the program (a process chart).

I've seen programs like this on the mainframe, anyone know of something that
runs on DOS (and the LX)?

A variant would also be one that does org charts based on a text-outline (ie, a
structure chart).

Does anyone use the Casio FIVA, either in conjunction with the 200LX,
or as a replacement for the LX? Other than the FIVA, or the Libretto,
there doesn't appear to be anything else close to our 200lX.

THE BAD

The 95 is verrrry limited compared to the 200. I picked one a little while
ago just out of curiosity. I thought that my wife could use it but she hated
it. It will read flash cards with a driver but the diver runs down the
batteries if you leave the card inserted. The spplications are pretty crappy
and don't employ graphics like the 200. The screen reolution is really bad
and regular CGA programs won't work with it. Text applications may work but
you need to do very annoying virtual screen tricks.


THE GOOD

It's cheap (1 MB version can be had for <$100 used)! It's a true DOS machine
so you may be able to write your own apps. There's lots of free software at
the super site. It makes a much better remote control than the 200 as its IR
port has a longer range.


BTW: if you're interested in a 512 one I'll let it go for $50+ship. It has a
loose latch and hinge, no manuals and no backup battery. It does have the
connectivity kit (5 1/4" disks and cable), original box and a pouch-like
carrying case.

I've put together an amortization spreadsheet before.

The @Functions and Macros Guide for Lotus 123 (desktop version) says for @pmt:
-----
The period used to calculate interest must be the same period used for term; for
example, if you are calculating a monthly payment, enter the interest and term
in monthly increments.  Usually this means you must divide the interest by 12
and multiply the number of years in term by 12.
-----

So if you entered @pmt(100000,.08/12,360) instead, you'd get the $733.76 you
expected.

Strange...  my palmtop shows 9 hours difference between LA & Zurich.
Do you have your palmtop set for DST European settings?  I think the
dates to start & end DST have changed since the palmtop ROM was
programmed...

You should have a timezone.dat in c:\_dat   If this isn't there, your
machine uses d:\_sys\timezone.dat with old DST dates.  Here's my
timezone.dat  (I hope it's current...)


European
3:25-31 6 1:00
10:25-31 6 0:00
Northern
4:1-7 6 1:00
10:25-31 6 0:00
Southern
3:1-7 6 0:00
10:25-31 6 1:00
Australia
3:25-31 6 0:00
10:25-31 6 1:00

Strange? Isn't it Daylight savings? (Isn't LA -7 on PDT?) I don't recall
Zurich as having `summer time'...

I don't think that they would be very useful as paper weights. When was the
last time you actually _SAW_ someone using a paper weight? Now door stops I
see used all the time. There's also those chok things to keep your car from

The default entry in timezone.dat is obsolete. The rules for DST has
changed a few years ago. According to the original palmtop entry, it
would no longer be DST right now, but it still is. If you use the
following c:\_dat\timezone.dat, it will work correctly:

European
3:25-31 6 1:00
10:25-31 6 0:00
Northern
4:1-7    6 1:00
10:25-31 6 0:00
Southern
3:1-7    6 0:00

Check out the HVDOC.TXT. Specific item to look for: CacheDir
and IndexDir. The files you saw are .PAG, and .LAB. They are
temporary files used by HV. If you send them to one specific
subdirectory (see the docs for the specs on these parameters!)
they will at least be confined.

If HV is shut down, you can delete any of these files. Putting
them in one place makes it easy.

Total myth! They are created by HV, not Post/LX.

Mitch had started an interesting project when he had the LIST (and for
some time after as I recall), a .GDB with users that volunteered their
addresses etc.. It even had a .PCX file for each user that was
displayed with IPEX. I'd love to see this project resurrected! I could
probably host it if no one else is interested...I must have an old copy
of the .GDB on my CD archive somewhere. I'll see if I can "dig it up"
this weekend (along w/ FLODRAW).

(looks like I really need to set up MSoft RAS on my W95 machine at
work)

I also have been having similar problems with an IBM 5Mb Card. I isolated it
to the card, as it wouldn't work in another computer. The problems were
similar in nature, and sporadic. The same palmtop works fine with other
flashcards. I had also gone the reformatting route, no success.
When trying file transfers with the CPACK was when it was the worst, taking
forever, or breaking contact, though even when contact was broken, the part
of the file which did get transferred was fine. Opened OK, and was legible.
Very strange. Seemed to start this behaviour for no apparent reason either.
Hope this helps.

Actually, of some kind soul would explain why, or better, how to open a
bigger file....

Far bigger files will "open" in VR, for example, but I am talking about
"opening" so that I could modify the file.

Today I picked up a couple of old DOS programs.  Since I already have both, I thought that I'd offer them here first since many of you are interested in older programs.  Make an offer on one or both...if I don't get any decent offers, I'll put them up for auction on eBay next week.

   Lotus Magellan v2.0: complete with box, manuals and both 5.25 and 3.5 disks

   Quarterdeck Expanded Memory Manager 386: includes manuals and 3.5 disk (this package doesn't come in a "box", but in the original "folder")

Both of the above packages are in NEW condition; in fact, the Magellan disks are still in their original shrink wrap.

Ah, Andreas.  Here we go.  I liked the OB 300, I liked the Poqet, and I like
the NEC 770 and Jornada 820 for the same reasons.

They are RAM/ROM machines, with reasonable (not great) battery life. They
are instant on, come with useful (yes it's true) built-in software, don't
take up much space, and are light.  Are they perfect? No. I'd still rather
have an enlarged 200LX.  However, they are VERY convenient for long days
going from airport to airport as I have to do traveling from a small town in
Iowa. They are useful when the lighting is poor -- although I really dislike
the fact they can't be used outside. They are reasonably unobtrusive in
meetings and seminars. I like to be able to touch type and not look at the
keyboard.

Yes, true. But when somebody else use the follow up header, and you
reply to that message then Post Lx just adds the follow up group to all
the others and don't delete the "irrellevant" ones. This happens
"automatically".

Follow up is used as Rod Whitby pointed out to set the "correct" group
to continue the thread. And also stop the crossposting to other groups
that are not importent..

Post lx only adds the follow up group and continues to crosspost.

This is why my mailer was called "stupid" by the person that pointed
out this to me.. No offence Andreas :-))

I do not want to do anything automaticly. I would like to be notified
when somebody sets a follow-up group. If I am notified in any way I can
delete the groups that are no longer needed. (if this happens
automaticlly I would'nt mind really:-)

Now I have to check the header to see what group is set as the follow
up group and then delete the ones that are not relevant any more..

The above scanario does not happen to often though..

Hi Al.

You're right of course, I remembered that database but thought that it was long
abandoned.  Just checked now at

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

and it looks like the last update was June of this year!  Is Mitch still doing
updates... and if so, how does he prefer to get the info?

Sorry to the original poster (Steve)... doesn't look like anyone's listed for
Tennessee.

Mitch had started an interesting project when he had the LIST (and for
some time after as I recall), a .GDB with users that volunteered their
addresses etc.. It even had a .PCX file for each user that was
displayed with IPEX. I'd love to see this project resurrected! I could
probably host it if no one else is interested...I must have an old copy
of the .GDB on my CD archive somewhere. I'll see if I can "dig it up"
this weekend (along w/ FLODRAW).

(looks like I really need to set up MSoft RAS on my W95 machine at
work)

I will check this out, some more. But I do belive that in my first test

The HP95 is quite limited.  The newer accis4 and www/lx will not run on
it.  The old accis will not do the hmi forums now most, if not all of
them.  I would guess many compact flashcards would not either as they
probably are the wrong voltage and probably would need drivers.  There
was only ONE 2400 baud pcmcia modem which worked with it.

There's actually an HP200LX specific version of perl. It does some of the

Couldn't you put up a webcamera and connect it to internet

After using my 4M 200LX for 2 years I never had a corrupt database
problem.  Since moving to a 32M LX a couple of weeks ago I've had
numerous problems with my appointment book.

I assume the recent move to 32M is just a coincedence but I wonder...

Is there any common configuration among those that have been having
appointment/database problems?

I have/run...

200LX 32M (Single speed)
Software Carousel, swap space in expanded memory via TREMM
plenty of disk space
I only run sysmgr in 1st SC session
APPT.ADB is about 9k bytes in size.

What else might be important?

I found these while clearing out a bookcase.

The label on the box says DOS  and has the item number 14FG-CPP15-30
In the box is:
A user's guide with DOS written on it (also CSRRI for center for
synchrotron radiation reasearch and instrumentation).
Three 5.25 inch disks labeled Turbo C++ 3.0 A registration card tucked in
with the first disk has the same number as the label on the box. So I'm
pretty sure that the disks are for DOS.

I also found several manuals for Turbo C++ 3.0 for Windows:

*****************************************************
Philips pulls the plug on Nino handheld
By Stephanie Miles
Staff Writer, CNET News.com
October 6, 1999, 6:25 p.m. PT
Philips Electronics is discontinuing its Nino line of Windows CE-based
handheld computers, another setback in Microsoft's battle to usurp the Palm
Computing throne.

After selling its remaining Nino 500 and 200 handheld PCs, Philips will exit
the market for the Microsoft-based handhelds, the company said.
<SNIP>
Nino never gained much of a following, even among devices running Windows
CE, Microsoft's scaled-down operating system. But Philips's decision to pull
the plug on the product indicates the larger turmoil among Microsoft's
Windows CE hardware partners, which have largely been stymied in their
attempts to break Palm Computing's grip on the handheld market.

<SNIP>3Com's Palm Computing, by comparison, accounted for more than 40
percent of the market in 1998.

Nino was dogged by sloppy design and its association with Windows CE, some
critics have said. Customers have complained that Windows CE is difficult to
use and synchronize with other devices, issues Microsoft is trying to fix.

"The volume just isn't quite there at this stage," said Diana Hwang, a
handheld analyst with International Data Corporation. "Philips has never
been able to capture either the consumer market or the enterprise market,
and CE is taking a lot longer than expected to takeoff."

Thanks.  I will not get the 95lx then.  I forgot how much different it is from

THE BAD

The 95 is verrrry limited compared to the 200. I picked one a little while ago
just out of curiosity. I thought that my wife could use it but she hated it.
It will read flash cards with a driver but the diver runs down the batteries
if you leave the card inserted. The spplications are pretty crappy and don't
employ graphics like the 200. The screen reolution is really bad and regular
CGA programs won't work with it. Text applications may work but you need to do
very annoying virtual screen tricks.


THE GOOD

It's cheap (1 MB version can be had for <$100 used)! It's a true DOS machine
so you may be able to write your own apps. There's lots of free software at
the super site. It makes a much better remote control than the 200 as its IR
port has a longer range.


BTW: if you're interested in a 512 one I'll let it go for $50+ship. It has a
loose latch and hinge, no manuals and no backup battery. It does have the
connectivity kit (5 1/4" disks and cable), original box and a pouch-like
carrying case.

Perl4 runs on the LX. It lacks some of the features in the current v5,
such as OO, references, and a few regular expression features (and
more, I'm sure).
I think it runs fairly well on the LX, but I've never timed it against
anything. As the manual says, if you need more than Sed or Awk can offer
then Perl might be for you. I think this holds true on the LX as well.

You can find it here:

http://www.perl.com/CPAN/ports/msdos/old/perl4/bin4036.zip

There are several versions floating around, but this one is the most
bug-free version 4 you can find (patchlevel 36, the last one released),
and furthermore, this particular version has the filename globbing (ie
wildcard expansion) code built-in. Other versions have to swap perl to
disk (or perhaps EMS) while running an external program, perlglob.exe, to
get the same functionality. Not having to swap speeds up operations
dealing with wildcards a lot, at least if you don't have EMS.

There's also a version compiled with PAL functionality somewhere, but for
some reason, it was *many* times slower than the regular version of Perl
on my LX, even when I didn't use the PAL functions.


Cheers,

Laust

I just don't understand why any one would put up with changing out batteries

If you like PE give T.EXE, the tiny editor, a try.  Similar screen and a
lot smaller.  I used PE back in the days of the IBM PC1 and PC2 but
didn't stay with it too long.

Do you use APL on the LX?  That's a language I've always meant to learn
something about but kept putting it off.

The NWO is the New World Order, not the wrestling stuff but the eventual

It's been awhile since I've run Jorj... I now use Key Dictionary, but I
remember Jorj as being quirky to set up... keep at it.

Some things:
- try starting it from its own directory
- add \jorj to the path statement

I just right now look at my paper weight. It holds together the stack

That's a new interesting application! Didn't think of that yet. Yup,

It does not do that. POST/LX ignores the follow up header.

As I said, it does nnot add anything. Replies are either sent to the
newsgroup to which the folder belongs or to the newsgroups to which the
message you reply to was sent, depending on how you set it up.

Please have a look at the headers of the message in order to see the
details about the message.

Exactly. If you don't want to think when you do something, you'd better
use a MS product. These products think for you. I am sure in the next
version they will even write the reply text for you...

Hi Neil & List,

Been there seen that!
But Jorj now works fine for me with the below batch file:


a:\jorj\jorj.exe a:\jorj\ m-flag


Anyway give the above batch file a try then let me/use know how it works out.

Oh yea! If it does work you might feel a little lite headed. Thats normal
because.......you've just been a witness to the power of the 200LX. (:-)

Ah yes : should be accessible with HP200LX and HV and the images should be
updated regularily.

Andreas,

PIM/PE allows check-off & copy of tasks when finished.

What about adding a feature

   Check-off & copy including notes
                    

When you have an appointment with a given schedule and probably some notes
entered to be discussed during the meeting : you check it off and you have
already the outline of the protokol that you enter in PE.

Andreas,

after two months of using PE/PIM as main and only PIM:

The file which holds ALL my tasks and appointments has grown to 70kB and
calling PIM starts to get slow (indexing). At the end of 1999 I want to extract
all tasks and appointments from my 1999.pim file into a 2000.pim file which
then will become my CUR.PIM entered in PE.CFG.

In order to do this I would need to sort 1999.pim by task date.

How would I do that ?

Ctrl-c "+("  Enter and then F7-sort ?

What will happen to the time stamps in the original file ?

Hi Gang --

If you use X-Finder, you have probably seen a line in the "Execution by
matched file extension" section associating the .ipd extension with the
program IP.  I got the program off the vector site, but it seems to
need additional fonts and the program FONTMAN to run.  Without these it
locks up the palmtop when trying to open the included .ipd file.  I got
Fontman from Vector, as well as some other stuff...  now what the @#$&
do I do with it??

Has anyone here on the list successfully set up IP?  And what exactly
does it do?

TIA

I know about the "Aurora" editor that it handles unlimited file
sizes. I know that there is a 8086 version, but I never tried it
on the HP200lx.

The size of the file should not matter for PIM as long as you do the
changes at the end of the file. Saving it from within PE gets
considerably slower, however. Therefore, I move all "old" stuff from
CUR.PIM into files such as "99JANMAR.PIM which holds the stuff entered
from January to March.

Why that? Just do a "Save As" of everything before the "+. 1-JAN-2000"
line and then delete it.

i find myself writing more off-list with you guys :) ... and i have to study
for exams too...

you could make things easier by paying more attention to the subject line:
there have been quite a few "sloppy" lines re "huh is it a women her" which
had nothing to do with our  Norwegian friend's remark.

now that we have seen some good posts about our favorite programs on our LXs
we could stay alive by writing about how they have improved our lives. But
make it interesting, not boring bible quotes please.

PE is 73K, and is a strict ASCII editor. As a result it just displays
in whatever font you have chosen (outside).

I have used PKZIP/PKUNZIP forever and everywhere (i.e. on all of my
machines, including the 200Lx) and have never had it fail even once
unless I ran out of disk. My PKZIP/PKUNZIP have 1993 dates and are
version 2.04g

J is Ken Iverson's (he invented APL) new `array oriented' language.
Particularly useful for vectors and matricies. Runs best under windows
and/or Linux, but an ancient freeware version only requires an
80186 and therefore runs on the 200Lx. Not for `heavy lifting' but
useful for calculation.

PERL is marvelous for, among other things, processing strings. It's
too big a language to describe in short terms, but you'll find
40 or 50 books about it at your local (good) bookstore.

Just this summer my father gave me an Illinois pocketwatch
that was his grandfather's.  It's over a century old.  It's
an odd juxtaposition when I've got a 200LX in my left pants
pocket and an antique pocketwatch in the other.

I loved your approach that uses rather involved mathematics.
I had a certain different access to this problem:

Assuming there is negligible air space between subsequent layers, the
total volume should be identical whether wrapped around or not, i.e.
(eliminating material width)
pi*(OD2-ID2) == L*t
- From that the calculation of OD is straightforward.
I do think that the two results should be identical (though I haven'
taken the time to show it).

The Followup-To: header is used quite often in a newsgroup I frequent. We
often get articles cross-posted from other groups specific to my ISP, and
if someone in one group decides discussion is not relevant he/she will
redirect the thread to one of the other groups only. It is generally
considered courteous to mention that "Followups have been set" in the
article.

Guys and Girls,

Recently I sent Emails to this list. From the replies I got I
know that the Emails were received in this mailing list.

However, I did not see my Emails in the HPLX-L mailing list.

I suppose that I have to configure the server machine with
some instructions.

Any advice please.

Sorry to All,

As I can see now all is "suddenly" working ..... strange, was
not being the case for months. After making some Emails to
this list did do the "repair" .....

Excuse me for the bandwidth

Hi Nathalie & group-

If the PKZip/PKUnzip  programs are slow on the LX, and you have enough
RAM, try using one of the EMS drivers (EMM200 etc - or TREMM if you
have an upgraded palmtop from Thaddeus or Rundel).  They'll run a lot
faster with EMS memory available.

Also there's now PKZip/PKUnzip 2.50 available.

I think it was David Sargeant who pointed me to the program (a simple
lookup based on the American Heritage Dictionary), and another poster
mentioned a liquidation sale (I forget the place... was a year ago) that
had only 1 copy left for $10 which I bought.

I would go with Collins if I had more RAM, but KD is good enough...better
than Jorj, IMO.

I'd be interested in learning what your train schedule managing program is
doing.
I also have commuter train schedules on my palmtop ("S-Bahn"), but I'm just
using plain text files for the MEMO editor.

Most European countries have changed their daylight savings time routine several
years ago. If you didn't update your palmtop, it might have Switzerland already
back
on Central European Time while in fact it is still on daylight savings time. You
need
a file named TIMEZONE.DAT in C:\_DAT with the following information:

The CE fad may not be such a bad thing. I understand there are people
working on a version of Linux for them. If that pans out a HP 680
with Linux on it would be a nice tool. If only it could be run out of
the ROM.

I'm using both the T Editor and E3 on my HP 200 LX, using T.EXE for
quick, small editing jobs. I have E3 running under the system manager,
but nothing else can run at the same time (except Filer). It has a lot more
functionality, such as block marks, sorting, spell checking (I use the
US, German and Dutch dictionaries), BookManager support (more
or less obsolete by now) and more.

Key Dictionary is a pop-up dictionary, but you can also run it on demand
(ie, I run it from an icon on the LX).  The dictionary is small, maybe 2.2
mb compared to the much larger (but more capable) Collins.

David Sargeant would be better able to give details, since he's tried them
both...I've never gotten the Collins. I just vaguely remember some remarks
of his to the effect that Collins was much more comprehensive.

Collins is available from Thaddeus, but KD is basically junkware (find it
in the closeout bin, if you're lucky).

My dictionary needs are light... my spelling's usually not too bad.  A
thesaurus would probably come closer to being more useful to me, tho I
already have (in addition to KD), a dictionary and thesaurus built-in to
Framework 4, which I also run on the LX.

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

I have been testing the use of the shareware FFDB (free form
database) EXM program, written by Brian McIlvaine and available
at http://super.hplx.org, and I would like to share my
experience with you:

What I liked:
- EXM! Very important for task switching.
- Very easy to enter notes without any particular format.
- Easy to search based on keywords, and do logical operations in
searches.

What I did not like:
- It is not possible to export the whole database to ASCII, and to
import
  back an ASCII file into FFDB. This is very important for exchange of
  information with other applications. This could be an off-line tool,
  like gdbdump&gdbload.
- The list view does not show the accented characters used in many
european
  languages, as a-tilde - they are shown as a space.

Improvements I would like to see:
- It would be nice to have F2 to enter a new note, and F3 to call Memo -
  all the built-in PIMs use F2 for a new record.
- The file name currently open should be shown in the title bar.
- It would be nice to be able to organize the notes in some hierarchical
  structure based on a category, for example:
    Work
      +-Project
          +-Proj1       notes
          +-Proj2       notes
      +-People          notes
    Private
      +-People          notes
  ...
  This way it could be possible to organize the information in areas,
and
  make searches in sub trees (e.g. search only in Work notes).
  You can do this with keywords entered in each note, but it is
difficult
  to remember to enter always the same keyword for the same area.

Conclusion:
  The issue about exporting to ASCII is the only one stopping me from
  registering and using FFDB. I do not want to enter a lot of
information
  into a database that I cannot extract later.


Thank you Brian for a great program!

Paulo

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

Does anybody know how to setup the HPLX for the code page 850 in DOS,
before the system manager starts?

Problem I have: I use dosshell, with one session with PalmEdit (Thanks
Andreas!) and another session with the system manager. This way I can
run them both simultaneously without memory problems in PE. But the
a-tilde (=E3) is not displayed correctly in PE, because the DOS code page=

is not setup for 850.

I tried to write in CONFIG.SYS:
        device=3Ddisplay.sys con=3D(ega,,1)
        country=3D351,850,country.sys
and copying display.sys, ega.cpi and country.sys from a DOS 5
distribution, but it did not work. There is no cga.cpi in the DOS
distribution.

Does this mean that you cannot setup code pages in CGA? Is there any
other way to setup the code page in the DOS mode of the HPLX (without
system manager running)?

Thanks in advance,
Paulo

I guess if HP is discontinueing them, getting a backup is our best

other accessories and lots of old software. Just thought I'd let you

Subject:      need repair work

Hello fellow LXers --

Some time ago I bought the speed doubler upgrade for my 200LX, but
I never installed it pending a 4MB (or similar) upgrade.  But in
anticipation of this, I started using my backup LX.  Last week,
this backup, which was now primary, seems to have dies a horrible
death.  I turned it on, and it screamed terribly; I couldn't turn
it off, only shift-on; but then it came back.  I was able to get
the battlog keystroke in in time to see the battery level plummet,
so I suspect some kind of short.  I took out my 5MB flash card,
changed batteries, removed backup battery, but nothing I do can
convince it to even gasp now.

So, now I'm using my actual primary, but I can't live without it
to get it upgraded (both are 1MB models).  I would like to find a
place where I could get this repaired, get the speed doubler
installed, and get an inexpensive (4MB?) memory upgrade.  Any takers
or suggestions?  Am I better to just retire this for spare parts
and upgrade the primary, perhaps picking up a new backup RSN?

Thanks for any thought you might have.
Clark

Is it possible to use the built in self-test function ( ON + ESC ) on a
doublespeed 200lx?  I know it works, but the screen is unreadable since
the dblspd driver is not loaded.  Anyone have a "workaround"?

I would like to mention some of my mainstays from my old DOS days
that, surprisingly, I have not migrated to my LX.  I have not seen
anyone mention any of these.  Each of these is also something I
registered shareware.

1. QEdit.  I have not seen anyone mention QEdit.  Interestingly
enough, I don't use it, but I was never without it in the Old Days.
On the LX, I don't really do much with editing files, and my tastes
have since become very vi-centric, but this is an excellent DOS
program.

2. Directory Freedom.  Another Old Days fave, that I have not used
on the LX: Directory Freedom.  This is my hands-down choice for
XTree-type navigator (actually not all that XTree look-and-feel,
but some similar functionality).

3. 4DOS.  Great command.com replacement, but really nice to have
a hard disk for (swaps out on subshells, etc)

4. Express Check.  I still find Quicken cumbersome for some of the
things I did all the time with this.  This is one of the best
checkbook programs ever.  It is nice to have text file data formats,
too.

I guess with the (G)UI of the LX, I just haven't felt the need for
most of these, although I think DF and QEdit might be handy sometime
when I get the chance to copy them over (maybe after I get that
4MB upgrade :-).  Another reason is that my FreeBSD box is my
primary desktop, and I use LXTools on that for xfer.  I just don't
have a lot of my old DOS utils on my FreeBSD box, I guess.  (I've
got them all on my IBM RT, though ... hmmm, guess I should port
LXTools to AIX 2. :-)

Our company uses cc:Mail as the corporate email platform. Therefore, on my
travels I only need to carry the trusted 200LX to access all my mail.
Recently, having put the company's good above one's own, yours truly has
decided to shift to Lotus Domino/Notes.

Is there any application on the 200LX that can access Domino email?

Many thanks

Anand.

I also have a 32M/DS LX, and a corrupt appointment book. If it was just
that, I'd just say coincidence, but I have been coming across a number of
other corrupt files.

This may all stem from an incident about 2 months ago. My batteries were
getting low, so I plugged in to the adaptor, and swapped the batteries
with what I thought were a fully charged set. I pulled the adaptor, and
found out I was wrong. When I got a charged set in, I found that many
files on the F: drive (the 2MB original) were corrupted. The C: drive
(32M upgrade) seemed to fare better. A few files I had open were
corrupted, but I didn't notice any other problems at the time.

After I went through a number of backup cycles, to the point where my
backups from that time are gone, I started noticing more problems. A
number of executables that would crash, or function improperly. A single
character in a C source file that had changed, or a library file that
would no longer link. Text files that now had typos. No real pattern, just
a random scattering of errors accross the drive.

It's possible this all happened when I swapped the batteries. I can't
think of any file I've used successfully since then, that later had
problems.

Has anyone else had problems like this?


There is one other thing. Most of the time when I have to reboot (alpha
version software), the screen is really scrambled until the ds driver
loads. Sometime though, the screen looks normal, or very close. I have
heard that the screen scrambling varies by LX, but is it normal to vary on
the same one?

Some of you seem to look for programming languages and DOS-Tools.

In 1994 the 'tewi-Verlag' has submitted two CDs (over 1GB of data)
called 'Power-Programmierung' in Germany (ISBN 3-89362-629-8) which
has 'all programming tools' of the late DOS and some of the early
Win3.1 era:

C, C++, Basic, Pascal, Modula, Fortran, Fort, Oberon, Prolog, Lisp,
XBase, Cross-Compilers, Emulators, DOS-Tools, documentation (German
and English),lots of code-examples.

It's free and share ware; one CD is mainly for C,C++ and C/C++ code
examples.

The contents is laid down in a DBase-file (570KB, file-explanation in
German language)

If there is interest in this, I could supply the DBase file and try
to find out if the product is still available.

We turn to be a real international community - aren't we?

My favorites are the build in appl, esp. the data base applications
and

 Key200
 ClipVue
 MoreEXM
 GlobalSearch (GS)
 ProjMgmt (PJT2.EXM)
 FilIni
 PE and WWW/LX

What I'm currently missing most is how to find my information-units,
which usually may be in different places. Global Search can only
handle one directory for each extension (ADB, GDB, PDB,...).

Also I'm thinking of an 'information-unit-format' which can be cut
and pasted between all build in appl without loss.

Thanks for the solver formula (also to Etienne)
By the way, during weekend, I develop one formula during this weekend by
different approach, i.e. by measuring weight.
Weight can be calculated by:
1.(PI*(0.5*OD)2-PI*(0.5*ID)2)*w*d.  Which is volume of the coil minus the
  core, times density (d), where w as width of the coil.
2.OR by PI*L*t*d, which is weight of the material, regardless it is in roll
  or not

By combining above two equations, my final formula will be:
OD2 - ID2 = (t*L)/(PI*0.25)

Which results are similar to yours.
Curtis, at the same time, I would like to express my grattitude for softwares
that you wrote for LX.  Many people in the list enjoy Freecell very much, but
I really love your 42 Domino.  My winning propability is something like 60% and still trying to improve it more.

copied a lotus123 file from my LX to a floppy with my accurite and gave it
to a friend; but she returned it saying none of her programs could read it -
and
she has lotus v.4!! what a shame that the same company does not accept their
own previous versions. Excel 4 did not read it either; so i had to dig up
excel 2 and save it with excel extension to be read by excel 4.  Anyone know
of a shorter way?

Have a look at LXMNC on my web site.  It (in conjunction with
LXCIC 2.0 and LXETH 1.0) may well solve your problem.

I have Excel 97 and it reads the .wk1 files from the LX without a problem
.. you just have to tell it via "file type" that it's a 123 worksheet.

Don't know if this applies to other Excel versions.

You should check to make sure the file wasn't corrupted during the copy
(ie, try copying back from the floppy to the LX and do a compare via DOS
'fc' or some other method).

I pretty much agree with the sentiment -- but short battery life units are
rechargeables. My J820 gets about 11-12 hours.

One thing I don't like is that most must be recharged -- I can't just stick
in a couple of AA's in an emergency.

The end result from our upgrade (6, 8, 32, 64 meg) will be the same with 2

It all depends on where you are coming from - if you never had
a palmtop before, a battery life of < 6 hours wouldn't seem so
bad (assuming rechargables). If you had a palmtop (like the
200LX, Palm Pilot), then you know that longer battery life is
possible (within certain constraints - no color, spinning HDs,
built-in modems).

Bottom line, WinCE could succeed if enough people were drawn
to the features they offered, but those buyers will drop them like
a hot potato(e) once they are aware that better is possible...

Just my thoughts,

I am not too familiar with WinCE hardware, but it used to be that
the early WinCE machines had removeable ROMs to allow for
an OS upgrade, don't know if that is still the case, but if so it would
be interesting if they could develop a port of Linux ROMs for these
machines, but they would (most likely) have to "borrow" the "BIOS-
like" functions in the ROMs to keep the machines usable.

I'd be interested in the IBM WinCE laptop with Linux, but the cost
is so high - $1K for a decent screen/keyboard, and Linux usually
is ported to lower-cost hardware first (it seems to me)...

Clark,
    I thought Thaddeus would fix (almost) anything for $125,
I'd suggest sending the unit to them for the repair AND the
upgrades at the same time (you'll save on shipping), and then
when you have your new, bigger 200LX in hand you can double
speed you "old" primary machine at your convienience...

That's what I would do - assuming the "squealer" case is in
good shape...

This should work, I've done it many times, with 1-2-3 version 5, and
Excel 97 too. You have to specify when opening the file that it's a
.wk1 file and not .xls or .wk3. And that the file copied correctly.

I also believe that both Excel and 1-2-3 version 5 (and probably 4)
can save .wk1 files, so it's compatible in both directions.

Depending of course on how complicated your spreadsheet is. Many things in
Excel won't convert to 1-2-3.

Why would you want Linux?
This message is sent through my trusty Linux box working as a router for my
mail, but I honestly wouldn't dream of putting something as complicated as
that on my "go anywhere" computer. If your'e tired of DOS, why not Caldera
opendos, BEOS or something else that's light, powerfull and quick?

Emacs on a CE? The appeal of emacs is low outside the unices, and doing

Does it meant that PIM will skip 99JANMAR.PIM when indexing ? If thats the case
than this should help. It would also be a big advantage compared to the built
in APPT since PIM takes ALL *.PIM into account when you do a search with Alt-G

I'm not shure I got you on that. My tasks and appointments will be cluttered
all over the file in different time stamps. I might have entered the date of
the next Automotive Show in Geneva in 2001 under time stamp Jan 1 1999. How do

Is there a way to do the same with a notes database file but :

- the sort has to be done on a category ! and not on the notes topic.

Hi Hermann & Members,


I also use Global Search. What you need to do is store all of your files
in a comon place.

Such as:

a:\document for your documents
a:\database for all of your other PIM files except for appt.adb leave/put
it in your c:\_dat or a a:\_dat directory.

My palmtop is setup basically the same but built around X-Finder
so it looks like the following in Global Search under "Target Files":

c:\_dat\appt.adb
a:\palmtop\mypalm\database\*.*
a:\palmtop\mypalm\database\*.*
a:\palmtop\mypalm\database\*.*
a:\document\*.*


BTW: I also use WhereIs for some searches.

Quatropro 5.0 for DOS

My installation is 3.2 Meg.

It is the best DOS spread sheet.  The look and feel is much like 1-2-3, but
it is more powerful.  It supports multiple sheet notebooks, has good tools
for creating view-graphs, and has a more powerful set of functions than Lotus.

Highly recommended.

I can read my lotus 1-2-3 files with excel 5.0, too. Even the
graphics are imported into excel.
I do not need to import my lotus files into excel that often, so I
don't know about any potential bugs/problems (there are surely
some).

And make sure that the proper import filters are installed during
excel setup.

MIME-version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I've been using Palmlink to convert my email from Eudora into a database
format so that I could easily read it on the 200LX.  This solution works
great as a means of getting my email to the 200LX.  However, getting my
replies back to the desktop is proving a bit more problematic.  What I've
been doing is composing my replies in one text file and uploading that file
back to my desktop.  However, cutting and pasting my replies into separate
emails is somewhat burdensome.

Does anyone have any suggestions to automate the process the other way?
What I don't want is an email program for the 200LX that requires me to use
a modem with the 200LX.  I'm interested in being able to read my email on
the 200LX, and the Eudora/database
conversion utility that comes with Palmlink works great for that.  It's
just getting the email back that's a bit kludgy.

TIA,

David Ball

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

If you want a PCMCIA to IDE adapter, I may be able to find these, $23ish
or so IIRC, from someone I know; I bought one, & want 2-3 more;  It
sucks the power to run the Hard Drive out of the PCMCIA card (Type 2),
though, so I am not sure this'd work with the LX, I know it'd work with
my PC110 though.

This unit has a laptop-type cable 6" long, you could definitely supply
power for the laptop drive from some other source by splicing into that
cable, & use it with an LX, potentially (I'm not sure it'd work, but
probably should work just fine, if you supplied external power.)  Maybe
get a second cable (I can make one for $12ish, or tell you how to), so
you can still use the cable if you mess it up <G>

I'm not sure at all who made this, could probably reverse-engineer this
one fairly easily though.

If what you want is an ISA card that gives you PCMCIA slots, SCM Micro
(among others) makes those.  $40ish.

If what you want's to plug in a PCMCIA card, and have one or more ISA
slots in an external cage, lessee, I remember seeing two companies that
make these, one was in Germany, one in the USA IIRC.  Prices were
astronomical, though, like $1500ish for a 2-slot unit, or so.  Just
cannot find my bookmarks on those, though.

Right, but I don't like to do it, because my C: drive can't hold all
files, so there are some on the A: drive (flash card).
Also, when swapping flash-cards, I want to have access to my main
ADB,PDB and GDB files.
For this reason I maintain the same directories on C: and A:
 X:\APPT\*.ADB
 X:\TEL\*.PDB
 X:\DB\*.GDB

With a macro I'm able to switch X: from C: to A: or vice versa in the
file select box.

Thats why I wish Glabal search to be able to serach multiple dirs for
*.ADB, *.Pdb,....

Maybe I have to try GREP. This is under DOS - isn't it?

Enjoy

I posted on our Webpage about a sale of VOLT/LX which will
begin on November 1. Please, do not send your orders until
then, we are simply not prepared to handle them at this time.

But come November 1 - yes, go for it! There are details on our
Webpage, please give it a look http://www.dasoft.com and click
on the link to VOLT/LX.

Just before November 1, I will post final arrangements on
ordering. Please be patient.

All the best! Thank you...

Excellent! Cherish this piece. I have one that my grandfather
used, and he got it from his own fatherafter the latter used
it for many many years. It works fine, but I was told to just
let it rest!

Once every few years I take it to an expert watchmaker and we
open itn clean itn wind it, and drool over it for a few days,
then let it rest again. I expect that it will passed on to
several generations on down...

of the parallel port. The max. data transport is according to
the manufacture 2 Mb/s, depending of your hardware
configuration which is slower in reality.

The drive is easy to take with you (size: 134 * 38 * 165 mm,
weight: 540 gr) and the software is even working under MS-DOS
5.0 !!!!!

The cost of the drive is 564 Dutch guilders (+/- 270 US

This is in response to Alan Striegel's reply to my question.
Unfortunately, I didn't keep his posting so I can't reply properly.

Alan,
Thank you very much for your tip. With the information from
EXAMPLE.BAT and FILETRAN.INI (both in the CPACK200
directory) I can now successfully call the utility to translate the
ADB file to comma-delimited from a batch file. This has greatly
simplified the task of synchronizing my Notes Calendar with
the palmtop's appointment book for me.

Hi David,

I have not checked out any basic tutorials. I just read the book!

I use Quickbasic 4.5 on the palmtop, and it works great. Visual basic
for dos v1.0 also runs on the palmtop, albeit, a bit slower. I've just
bought powerbasic v3.5, and am starting to have trouble with that one. It
locks up the palmtop in some debugging modes.

If you can get Qbasic from one of MS later versions of dos, that would
get you started. If it were me, I'd be looking for a copy of Quickbasic
4.5.

Mike...

P.S. There are others, but I have not played with them...

P.P.S The powerbasic people sell a CD chock full with basic programs
you can learn from.

Greetings list members.

I've been using a set of NiMH batteries from ACE since 1994,
and it's clearly time to replace them ;-}

I'm seeking suggestions and expressions of positive and
negative experience from you.

The 200lx has an ACE Flashcard for memory installed full time,
and the only I/O I do with it is serial direct to the desktop;
no modem, no NIC, no IR; and I'm happy recharging with the HP
F1011A AC Adapter (originally on a weekly (or bi-weekly)
schedule; now _much_ more frequently).

Thanks in advance. I'll summarize to the list any direct
replies if it seems useful.

I use jorj regularly from &...More.  Here is the command I use in the =
path
line (adjust the path for your setup):

c:\games\jorj\jorj.exe c:\games\jorj m h |90

The first part starts the program.  The "c:\games\jorj" part sets that as =
the
default directory.  You have to tell jorj which directory to look for its
dictionary file in, so always add this sort of statement.  The "m h" sets =
my
prefered screen settings for palmtop viewing.  The "|90" tells System =
Manager
how much DOS memory (90K) to set aside for jorj.  I came up with the 90K =
by
experimenting.

List of participants at 10/11/1999 10.30 am.

Saturday 23rd, October 1999 3.00 pm our traditional international hp =
handheld
meeting will take place.

Unfortunately there is no alternative, due to the fact that the 23rd of
October is the only weekend when I will be at  Munich.

hp200lx and networking:

I intend to demonstrate a palmtop network with:

   - MS fileserver, protocol NETBEUI
   - FTP Server, protocol TCP/IP
   - Clients: MS DOS, WWW/LX, LXTCP, CUTCP

Roger Law offers:

I can bring a 5-port mini hub to connect to your 'LAN' and demonstrate
LanWatch if you wish.

(LanWatch is the protoclol analyser by FTP Software
Inc, taken over by Precision Guesswork, who sell it on its own
and bundled with a 200LX as 'PocketWatch'!!).

I would also like to show others what can be done with cat 5 cable, 6
way modular plugs and sockets, araldite putty and rubber sleeves for a
modular serial cabling system for the LX.

Hi Nathalie -

What do you use to view (or at least try to view) youe .zip files on
the LX?  I've used PKZIP/PKUNZIP for years, both on a single-speed 1M
100LX & an 8M dbl-speed 200LX.  Never had any trouble with the .zip
files.  The 200LX has 2M set aside as EMS memory, and that speeds
things up a lot.  Recently started using the latest PKWARE software
(version 2.50)

Have you considered trying X-Finder?  It treats ZIP & LZH files like
directories in its file view screens, and allows almost all file
handling functions (copy, move, rename etc.  + editing & viewing) to
work inside archives!

HTH

Later...

What is DOSEMU?  Is that a DOS emulated for Win CE?  How good is that
DOSEMU?  The one reason I have stayed with the HP 200 is that I have
Chinese and Korean chess games on my HP 200 that are DOS games.  I wonder
how they would perform on a Win CE computer.

I also can't imagine that a Win CE computer would have as good a battery
life or performance as the HP 200 too--is that the case (ie, that no Win
CE computer beats the HP 200 for battery life or performance)?

Thanks!

David -

ccLXPOP will do at least part of what you want - It can receive emails that
were loaded from a POP3 server using Rod Whitby's LXTCP software onto the
HPLX for reading with ccMail. If you put your ccMail directory on a PCMCIA
card, for example, you could then send and receive emails on your desktop
computer, and read and reply to them on your palmtop. ccLXPOP docs explain
how to do this if you are interested.

But you better check all the formulas, I've once seen a case where, in a
spreadsheet created with the 1-2-3 from a SmartSuite version,  some
formula in a cell that was not supported by Lotus 1-2-3 2.2 just ended up
by being replaced with the evaluated contents. Not exactly what I had in
mind.

Has anyone had such luck, using one these devices on a HPLX?  How about a
WinCE machine?  Are there any that use external power?  Would it be possible
to use a 2.5" HDD w/ a battery pack on a HPLX???  How about with a
doubleslot?

Anyone know where I can order one?  Or whether, anyone in Australia, sells
em?  Thanks...

How do these work on the 200LX?  It's my understanding that IDE adapters
require interrupts 14 or 15, and therefore an AT-class or higher computer
architecture.  I'm curious how anyone's been able to get one working because
I've tried two (an Addonics PCMCIA IDE adapter for a ZIP drive and an Iomega
PCMCIA IDE adapter for a "Clik" drive) and neither has worked, even with DOS
drivers.

Thanks.

I cannot recommend the IDE type. The main problems are...

* It uses up one of your ports on the IDE controller.

* You have to leave the card in the drive all the time, especially when
you boot the computer or you will get a very long boot followed by the
HDD controller failure message. All the IDE PCMCIA adapters do is to
hook the ATA PCMCIA card right up as a disk controller on your system.
There are no electronics on the adapter. When you take the card out, it
is like taking a hard drive out of your system. The ONLY way to really
make this work is if you have one of the new machines that has the auto
detect IDE drives on bootup feature that works the right way, and if you
put the card in the drive before you boot up each time. Not all of the
auto detect BIOS work the right way, or are very slow (several minutes
to boot).

* If you care, the IDE adapters are for ATA type flash cards only. No
linear flash, no modems, ethernet, SRAM cards, etc. That is because it
uses the controller on the card.

I had one of these, and I gave it away for free to a guy who is now
having problems with it (I warned him!).  Now he is not speaking to me,
ha. I communicated with a number of people who also had the same
experience, nobody had one working that I could find. I know that the
hacker in us (especially HPx00 owners) makes us want to try these
things, I knew that there were problems when I got mine, but take my
word for it, they are horrible. Much better to get any other type of
reader. Now that digital cameras are so popular, you can get readers
that read the CF type of cards pretty cheap. I got an internal ISA card
reader and it is great.  (Probably someone has one of these working, and
will flame me, but the average person's chances of getting it working
are minimal).

I have a few of these old tickers and my watchmaker has always told me to
keep them wound and going.  Apparently the oil will circulate better and the
watch will benefit from actually running.  Mine are Elgins from Illinois

I've run the folowing successfully:

Qbasic interpreter (comes with Dos 5)
gwbasic interpreter (old basic that came with dos)
Quick basic 4.5 interpreter/compiler
Power Basic (forget details, long ago)
asic 5.00 (shareware basic compiler)
tsrbasic (create tsr basic programs, mem hog and buggy)
Visual Basic for Dos (Huge slow mem hog)

Of all of them I like quickBASIC 4.5 the best because I was able to find a
lot of support libs and program examples. The only thing that sucks is that
quick basic creates large execs that require run time libraries to run. I
don;t think that you could create a QB45 exec that could run under sysman.
ASIC 5.0 creates really small execs and .com files but is a more limited
language.

While shopping a few weeks ago, I saw a stack of boxes of Quattro Pro for DOS
v.4 at a mall computer store.  They were being sold for $10 each and the store
clerk (Black Wolf Computers at the Inland Center Mall in San Bernardino, CA)
said that these were closeout items that they wouldn't ship owing to the cost.

I don't know how v.4 compares to v.5, but if anyone's ever in San Bernardino
they can pick up a box and try (about 20 boxes were available).

Actually isn't there a programm called (global search) gs.exm that does
this? It accepts wild cards to search HP specific files (.pdb, .ndb, etc.)
but will not recurse subdirs. It will then open the app and put at the
location where the piece of data is located.

Let's never forget XtreeGold.  This excellent package allows users to view
the contents of many different file types.  Particularly appropriate to the
HP 200LX, it has a Lotus 1-2-3 .WK1 spreadsheet viewer, and a .PCX file
viewer.

You can create and extract from .ZIP archives (even build self-extracting
.ZIP files).  A WordPerfect file viewer and early Microsoft Word .DOC file
viewer and .GIF and .TIF and .BMP file viewers are all part of the package.

It's a great tool for file management and manipulation.  It also includes a
binary file editor.

Unfortunately, to use every feature, it takes up a considerable amount of
disk space - as much as 1,989,591 bytes on my machine with all the viewers
and overlays and nothing compressed.  If things get tight, lots of unneeded
files can be jettisoned.  It is also happiest with a lot of conventional
memory - over 300 Kbytes is best.

Another favorite of mine that I just discovered in a rummage sale for 75
cents(!) is a Scrabble game from a group called Leisure Genius, carrying a
copyright date of 1986.  The six files needed to play it on the 200LX amount
to a total of 91,072 bytes, after Diet is used to compress the executable.
It plays a really good game and allows you to choose how tough an opponent
the computer is.  You can also save and resume games at any time.  It does
consume quite a bit of memory during play, as much as 275 Kbytes.

The question is will this work with a 200 LX?

Also, it is not exactly palmtop portable being bigger than the LX itself.

i zip my files with same version on my desktop to store them on my LX A:\

I agree with another poster, that pkzip/pkunzip 2.04g (2/1/1993) works well on
the LX.

Your problem with pkzip on the LX may be related to the version you're using
(which one is it?), or possibly to the flash card you currently use as drive A:

One thing to test would be to zip the same file to both A: (flash) and C:
(internal) drives and see if the C drive version is unreadable when the A drive
version becomes so.  I've never had problems with pkzip 2.04g on either
internal, flash or SRAM cards, but flash cards overall vary widely in
performance and reliability.

You can use PNR (Palmtop News Reader) to read and write email on the palmtop
and use LXTCP on your desktop to "grab" the files from your palmtop and send
them using the modem in your desktop. The software you will need to download
from SUPER is PNR and LXTOOLS for DOS as well as LXTCP which you run on the
desktop. If you want details write to me directly.

I regularly read Lotus *.wk1 files from my LX using Excel97 on my desktop
and visa versa without any hassles. Maybe the file was corrupted in transfer?

Clark,

I agree, QEdit is awesome.  But its name has changed to TSE Jr. (The
SemWare Editor Junior).  It has alot of improvements over QEdit, and
version 4.0 is the latest the last I checked.

look at it this way: compared to a new desktop (they don't make them cheaper
than 1-2000 bucks) a used LX backup is "cheap"

anyone try Global in Wisconsin www.mrpalmtop.com for price comparison for

What a coincidence, I'll be there the 19th for a wedding on Saturday.
I didn't even realize Comdex was going that week.  It would be nice to

If you always add new stuff to the end of a file, the file will
automatically be sorted by the date of entry. Of course, the
dates of future events and appointments are not sorted, but that's what
PIM is for: to give you a sorted view on them.

I am not sure which sorting you speak about. If you speak about Ctrl-C
and sorting those items, there is more about it in PE.DOC.

Well, I for one have managed to keep my increasingly busy life on track with the
LX. Recurring appointments, cash flow spreadsheets, thousands of phone numbers,
infinite todo lists, a zillion ways to keep my life from becoming a chaotic
mess. But my winning combo would not be complete without the following:

- My 5MB 200LX (stores half of my life)
- My Sony CMZ200 Sprint PCS phone (small and I can be reached in most places)
- My Motorola Flex pager (all my voice mailboxes page me to this pager)
- My Panasonic Paging Phone (pages me when I get a message).
- Web-based California.Com IMAP e-mail (main mail repository at work, accessible
from anywhere on earth)

With all of those, I am finally fully mobile -- with one exception: e-mail. One
of these days, I'll try WWW/LX again and try to make it work with my web-based
IMAP e-mail (along with a modem with battery pack and acoustic coupler...)

The best I've seen is the Collins dictionary. Some may find it a little
expensive at $60USD but I can say it is a very good package to have on the
LX. It's fast, provides common phrases and puts words into, context.

Check here:

Level 39 ?!  I'm impressed!  Great game, hard puzzles.

I should go back and try Sokoban again.  I gave up long ago while I was
still playing games in the teens.

Thanks everyone who helped with Jorj. It actually was running OK when
activated from Filer---through FILER.INI---but since the default screen
color was incorrect(and unalterable when started this way), I simply
couldn't see it on the screen!!! A little contrast change and it was
legible. I have now got it running from the c prompt too, where the color is
changeable.
Interestingly, under the default screen color(I think it's Tan), when you
adjust the screen so you can read it, there are a couple of BLUE lines
showing!!! Maybe with some experimentation, there's a way to get a color
screen out of the 200LX ;-)

Hi Neill,

<snip>
The default value for screen color is BLUE. This may be changed with the
C-flag.

The valid alternative colors are as follows:
B (Black) T (Tan) R (Red) and M (Monochrome).

To change this to Monochrome, the call would be:

a:\jorj\jorj m

or

a:\jorj\jorj.exe a:\jorj\ m-flag

I recently went to work for a company that uses Notes for email. I recently
asked tech support what is/isn't possible but haven't gotten a response yet.

I remember an exchange on this list or Compuserve which said that the Notes
administrator can set up Notes to allow email to be accessed with cc:Mail.
There is a setting somewhere that permits that. If I get an answer in the
next few days, I wil post it.

Do you have any idea where I might be able to find Express Check anymore?
I'd like to check it out.

I've also found that Quicken is more complicated in some areas than I
really need and falls short in other areas.  I haven't yet found a
budget/cash flow DOS program that can replace an old self-written
proprietary BASIC program I've used for almost 20 years now.

Hi John!

I've been using a Lotus 1-2-3 cash flow spreadheet for the last few years,

I learned that (g).

If on Jan 1st 2000 I extract all entries before Jan 1st 2000 into a file called
1999.PIM:

- PIM will give me the sorted view of entries coming from 1999.PIm and 2000.PIM
- I will have tasks and app with due dates in 2000 and beyond remaining in
  1999.PIM

Is there a way other than manually extract all those 2000 and beyond entries
out of 1999.PIM (just my drive to clean up once a year) ?

<<Out of PE.DOC :

Because the phone list is structured and there are record markers, PE
lets me do several things in the Only View. For example, I can move
around complete records using the F3 and F4 keys. If I wanted, I could
have the complete list sorted by the city by using the Only View to
display all lines that contain "City:" and press F5 (Sort).>>

I was puzzled by this. If I create a Ctrl-C Only View for "+c diss" I will
get a SCRATCH file with all "+c diss" lines. If then I press F7=Sort it will
sort the notes database? Sort by what sort criteria ? Maybe I'm just too scary.

How are you starting PKZIP/UNZIP? Are you giving them enough memory to run?
Using CTRL-123 will give you a DOS SHELL limited in memory size, which in my
experience is not enough for PKUNZIP. Try using FILER - MENU OPTIONS DOS
to get a larger dos shell. I have never had pkunzip fail on me on my
palmtop using this method.

Hello,

I've tried repeatedly to access hplx.net this evening, and don't seem to be
having any luck.  I logged into different ISPs and tried unsuccessfully to
reach your web site.  I just thought I'd let you know.  Thanks for keeping
a good site up...it's been of great help to me.

Regards,

i too use xtgold on my LX (scaled down to the basic 110k (with view and
pkzip_unzip 300k)) I have xtree version 1 in my collection of small but
powerful programs; it's only 30k; the one where you press F3 to exit and a
y/n.

i remember automatic scrolling for viewing files using speeds F1 to F9 or so
in xtree-pro; is this possible in any other program/viewer you know of?

as i mentioned earlier i zip them on my desktop to store them for viewing on
my LX; i transfer the file to C:\_dat before viewing, that's where i store
pkunzip

my problem isn' t that it unreadable, but that i get error messages like:
"PKUNZIP (W15) Warning! file fails CRC check"
then it says:
"End of file - Press any key to continue"
and when i press the key marked clearly :) with "any"...
it repeats the command ad infinitum, and i have to use the age-old
ctrl+alt+del.
i don't trust this pkzip on my LX any more

There are tools around which shrunk the size of those clippers files. But
Foxpro

This is a repost from Compuserve's HPHand forum.

----------------Begin Forwarded Message---------------

Sb: PIM Question/Duration
Fm: Edward J. Morgan 110047.504@compuserve.com

A minor question, but a troubling one.

When I make an entry such as:

 +( 10-OCT-1999 10:00
 +a test
 +) 10:05

The curser will "hang up" when I am in a day view in PIM when I scroll =
through it.

I have thus learned to enter appointments as:

 +( 10-OCT-1999 10:00
 +a test
 +) 11:00

i.e. I make them one hour in length rather than the true time duration of =
5 minutes.

Is this a limitation?  Can I enteer the true duration of an appointment =
or is there a default value of, say, and hour?


I guess the question is must I make appointments of a default duration to =
avoid "hanging up" in PIM?

Thanks.

To all who see this GREETINGS

Another useful idea for those who travel a bunch;
especially backpackers.  Scan your passport with
signature and ticket reciept into the LX/PC110.
Looks good enough to be read. Its not just the image
they want, but the info/data.  A half decent scan yeilds
good readability of each char.

Perhaps a scan guru will post ideal scan params.

Qbasic and Quick Basic will both run well on the 200lx.  They both contain
excellent help.  A number of tutorials are available on simtelnet.  I
believe (but I'm not sure) that the url is
www.cdrom.com/pub/simtelnet/msdos/basic.  That's close enough that you
should be able to find it.  I believe there is also a doc directory.  Most
of the tutorials are text.

Qbasic is the interpreter that came with MSDOS and is also shipped with
Win95 and Win98 on the cd in the \OLDDOS folder.  Some OEM versions don't
have it.  Others do.  You'll need Qbasic.exe and Qbasic.hlp.

Quick Basic 4.5 is available for purchase at Compuserve's online software
store.  Both are Microsoft products and they are similar except that Quick
Basic is a compiler and Qbasic is an interpreter.  Quick Basic exe's are
faster but not a lot faster than Qbasic's interpreted code.

Quick Basic 4.5 has an option to create a stand alone exe.  It's on the
dialog you get when you click "Make an EXE".  You can choose one that
requires brun4.5 and one that doesn't.  On the 200lx, unless there's a
Sysmgr problem, I'd choose to use brun4.5 unless I was distributing the
file.

Well, since this has become such an interesting thread...My favorite
programs on the 200LX are as follows...

MikeMayl..a freeware QWK packet offline-reader.

The Diabetic Daily Log--an excellent glucose tracking program that also
lets me track my medications and diet on the palmtop.

CGA-hlp..a program that allows me to run these color programs above in
monochrome mode on the 200LX

HP Database

HP Appointmentbook

Palmlink--a program that allows one to convert Eudora mailbox files into
the Database on the 200LX.

You might try replacing the copy of pkunzip on the LX with the one you have on
the desktop, if both are 2.04g.  The LX version may have somehow corrupted.

You might also try running chkdsk on your C drive to make sure it's up to snuff.

Don't know what else there can be... pkzip 2.04g on the LX is an institution,
and should work.  Maybe French data is too difficult for it? <g>

With the help of another list member, I have found that the datafile for
HP-SOK is bad. Two spaces on level 39 that should be open are not, which
makes it impossible to solve. There are three copies of HP-SOK on the
Thaddeus CD-Infobase and all have this problem. An ascii graphics version
of Sokoban shows the correct level 39.

It even reads and writes to MS Office! Recently acquired by Sun, it's
attracting an increasingly loyal following. There are at least two
major differences though. You need 500MB of space for MS Office and
only 65MG for StarOffice. And the Bill Gates version will set you back
a few hundred bucks. StarOffice is free on the web. Get it today. Just

www.sandisk.com
there are several: for USB, for parallel port, for internal mounting at
IDE port, with ISA card....

I have one for parallel port. Works perfectly with Windows, backs up 50
MB in about 3-4 minutes. Cost: 150 DM (approx. 80-90 US$)

I have been through all 50 of Sokoban, so it is possible -- assuming
that all Sokoban's are the same. I found all the screens in a game from
another computer and wrote my version of the game following the rules of
the W3.1 game (back in 1990 or so?). So if the screen looks something lik=
e
this, it is
solvable:

           ####
     ####### X#        You start at X

      #   # #% #
      #%  %    #
      #  #######
      ####
     map 39

But some of them were incredibly difficult. There are no hidden walls.

I have put a screen shot of level 39 from HP-SOK (the PAL version of
Sokoban) at http://technoir.nu/level39.gif to compare. You'll see there's
no space to move around the block to push them up into the dumps. HP-SOK
also has 87 levels.

I don't think you can add your own entries.

Yes, it translates to/from English and German. It's basically written for a
English speaking customer as it translates to/from English and several
languages but has no facility to translate between the other languages
directly.

Hello Folks:

This is to let you know that the Webpage has been updated. A
new update for WWW.EXE, now at version 2.1e. A sale will begin
November 1 on VOLT/LX (please don't send orders before that
date). There is a new FAQ item submitted by a customer
regarding an obvious-if-you-know-it item regarding setup  of
Post/LX in the Applications Manager. Lastly, I posted the
Netcom script recently discussed here. There was a FAQ item
regarding Netcom on the Webpage which discussed the id
required when using CHAP as the login script. I added the new
information to it, since the two are relevant and closely
related.

Thank you for the continued support.

Happy Palmtopping...

The other day I heard a loud POP sound from the other room,
but could not find the source. Over the next three days I
found a piece of plastic, part of some ring, then a short 2cm
spring, quite strong, then the source of the POP sound: My
backup palmtop was charging and I looked up something in it,
and noticed the right cap was missing. On closer look, the
spring and protective ring were missing too! Hmmmm.. the whole
clutch just gave out and popped out! Even closer look reveals
the plastic all aorund there looking like it melted from
heat!!!

I know that no heat was present, not to cause plastic to melt,
so I suspect a chemical melting. I do not know what type of
agents will eat up the plastic, but it sure seems to have done
the trick! This is a unit I purchase used. It had (and still
does) a nice hinge. I am sure the hinge is on its way to a
blissful nirvana, and I will avail myself to the repair
services of Thaddeus.

Any ideas what this may have been? Very strange indeed.

Hi everybody,

in order to use the "secure device" software, if i have well understood, it
is better to have an unfragmented drive.

So, where is it possible to find a good software which works well on the
Hp200lx (double speed) to unfragment the drive?

Thank You very much,

Paolo

Yes I guess I have to do it this way when I suspect that a follow-up
group has been set. Pepole usually mention in the text that they have
set a follow-up..not that many messages have a follow-up though

So what you really saying is that this is a "feature" that will not be
implemented in Post/lx?

Software Carousel comes with its Disk Optimizer, and Norton Utilities has Speed
Disk. I've used both on the LX with no problems.

If you don't have access to those, you may try some shareware utilities.

I've used DOG (Disk OrGanizer) before on a regular 8086 PC, so it should work on
the LX.  It lacks the nice graphics, but gets the job done (better, in some
ways).  You can find it at Simtel, look for DOG316.ZIP.

Hp200lx (double speed) to unfragment the drive?

Where did you find v2.1? I haven't found anything past v1.1.

I've managed to fix the data file so now I can continue with the one I
have, but 2.1 would be interesting, especially if it has different levels.

Hi Paolo & List,

If you like I can send you a copy of Microsoft's defrag that came with
the full version of MS DOS 5.0.

Let me know what you think off the List.

If you have permission, you can edit your own Notes "Person" file (which is the
entry about you in the mail server's address book) to add an alternative e-mail
address under "Forwarding address". This will bounce all incoming mail from your
Notes address to your alternative e-mail address.

It might also be possible to do this by editing your "Location" file, but I
haven't yet figured that out.

Also, if you have permission to run macros on the server, it's rather easy to
create a macro that is triggered by incoming Notes mail, and sends notification
to your alternative e-mail address including a copy of the Notes mail in its
body. This way you will have a copy of each message in both Notes and in your
other e-mail.

While sifting the Web for additional 200LX info which David might include in the
FAQ, I came across "HPDATABase - A Detailed Description of the Hewlett-Packard
Calculator Products" at: www.finseth.com/~fin/hpdata.html

While the info on palmtops is outdated and largely common knowledge to those of
us on this List, I did find something under the 100LX entry that was news to me:

Apparently the 100LX (and 200LX) have an "Automated Test Mode" which is
activated by CtrlAltEsc. Being the courageous sort (and after backing up
my data) I tried this key combination on my 200LX. All I got for my trouble was
a beep and the message:

*** ATS install Error, NO PORT ***

(The message goes away when you run an application or do something else that
re-writes the screen.)

Can anyone offer any additional info on this?

Hi all, since about a week, I have a problem that when I work for a longer
time without rebooting. Going into DOS using either Ctrl-123 or iver the
Application Manager, or any other way for that matter, I find myself
typing, but the letters don't actually appear on the screen.

I can type 16 characters, and then the palmtop starts beeping after each
keystrokes. Looks to me as if I could only write into the keyboard buffer.

Has anyone had a similar problem and knows a solution, before I start,
taking all the software off and reinstalling?

Installed: xFinder, moreexm (which doesn't work for some reason), exkey,
buddy. and several others that shouldn't interfere.

Another thing is that I see an X in the last row of the application
manager. Seems to me it must be Buddy trying to tell me something, but so
far I haven't found out what...

Well if anyone can help me thanx, if not wish me luck on yet another
sleepless night next to my trusty companion.

Igor

The dictionary isn't expendable, but (at least on the
English <--> French side) is fairly extensive. There is a
German option, along with several other languages.
Incidentally, disk space requirements will no doubt vary
with other languages, but with English-French/French-English
installed, the disk space taken up is a rather hefty 1.6 MB.
Other than that, though, I thoroughly recommend it.

There's also a newever Windows version of the Collins French
<--> English dictionary on CD-ROM which may still be on sale.
It has a much larger vocabulary and also includes plenty of
helpful usage examples and is an excellent product. The
downside is, of course, that it won't (yet) run on an LX...

Are you sure there was no heat - you were recharging after all - maybe
there was some short and things got hotter than normal?  Does the hp
still work other than the hinge blowout?

Could some solvent or even lub oil finally have eaten something?  Or
with charging heat been even more active?

Well, glad no eyes were jeopardized as it shot its wad!!!!

I used some defragger (not norton or software carousel's) a number of
years ago and it fully corrupted my a: drive.  I don't recall which one
it was but what it did was conveniently shorten all of my files to about
8k inclding data and executables.  It really did give me a lot more room
(sigh) until I spent a few hours to restore it all!  I had used it for
years on the 486 dos desktop with great results.

This SHAREWARE version of PKZIP 2.50 for DOS is intended for use on

The newer version works for me.

I've had a DeLorme Tripmate talking to my 200LX, so I can tell you that it
works.  Use LXGPS, available on S.U.P.E.R.

I think people need to distinguish the product(S) that are being
referred to in these discussions.

Collins makes (made??) a tranlation set of dictionaries that could
translate a range of languages.  This was an entire set that came with
all of the following languages:

H   English-French
F   Frangais-Anglais
N   English-German
G   Deutsch-Englisch
E   English-Spanish
S   Espaqol-Inglis
L   English-Italian
I   Italiano-Inglese


They ALSO make (made?) a ENGLISH language Dictionary and Thesausus.

These are two separate products.

Hi Philippe,

>I've been using a Lotus 1-2-3 cash flow spreadheet for the last few
years,
>but I'd love to see what you have for a dos program...

The budget/cash flow program I'm using isn't an ordinary DOS program.
It's a program written specifically for the Radio Shack PC-6 pocket
computer in it's extremely primitive (and very much proprietary) form of
BASIC.

It would not run on any other kind of computer and would be nearly
impossible to decipher without a manual for the PC-6 computer. Even with
a manual, it would be difficult to decipher because I used many
undocumented tricks to make the program and all of it's data (including a
100 record database) fit into only 16K of memory.

I've seriously considered re-writing it in QBASIC for my HPLX, but it
would be a major undertaking requiring far more time than I can devote to
such a project.  There are many differences between a PC-6 and a regular
PC that would have to be taken into consideration. For example, to start
with... I already know that all variable storage and retrieval routines,
as well as all routines that format data on the screen would have to be
completely re-written.

If you're really interested in how it actually works, let me know via
private email and I'll attempt to describe it in functional terms. Too
bad you can't see it in action. :-(  It's served me very well for over 20
years, now. :-)

Cheers!

What experience have people had using Think Tank or Kamas outline
processors?

I have tried Think Tank and like it, but Kamas seems to be pretty powerful,
too.  The only problem is that it's interface is nothing like that of TT.
Is it worth it to spend the time to learn the keyboard shortcuts to Kamas
or have people found TT to be more useful?

Thanks!

Try to rem out all line of you config.sys and autoexec.bat (write rem in the
begginning of each line). When the problem doesn't occur after this, it is
one of those programs. Now delete one rem, reboot, test, and so on.

The trouble with troubleshooting is, that the trouble shoots back!

I downloaded DOG a while back and it ran great on my "C" drive,
but when I used it on my SimpleTech 40 meg flash card on my "A"
drive, the data on the card was corrupted.  I tried it on my
other SimpleTech 40 meg flash card, and the same thing happened.
I gave up on trying to defrag the cards, and now if I feel they
need defragging, I copy all the data off them, and then back to
them, which does the same thing, from what I understand, and is
much quicker.

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

I just traded my Motorola StarTAC digital cell phone in for a
Qualcomm 860 digital, that has a built-in modem.  The StarTAC
digital phone when connected to my APEX Mobile Plus Cellular
modem, switches to analog to do wireless data transmissions, at
9600 baud.  The Qualcomm 860 communicates in digital at 14,400
baud.

I purchased the cable for the Qualcomm, which connects to the
bottom of the phone, and then has a male 9 pin serial connector
at the other end.  I got the phone communicating with my laptops,
using Windows 95 & 98, but can not get it working on my palmtop.
I am using the connectivity cable to connect to the palmtop, and
then a gender changer to connect to the Qualcomm cable.

I had to use a gender changer because both the HP connectivity
cable and the Qualcomm cable have male ends, so the gender
changer acts as an union between the two cables.  I even used an
ohm meter to make sure the gender changer is not faulty.  I also
have two connectivity cables, and have two palmtops, and can not
get my LX to communicate with the Qualcomm.

On my laptops I had to change the comm port speed to 19,200 per
directions from my cellular provider, in order to get the phone
to communicate with the laptop.  I have setup the LX data
communication program to com1 19,200 baud, and left all the other
settings to default.  I have tried removing the nofiddle.com
entry in my autoexec.bat file, and have also tried removing my
autoexec.bat file completely to make sure I don't have something
in there conflicting with the serial port somehow.

What I am wondering are how are people using external modems with
their LX?  Is there something else I can try?  I have tried
changing my mode statement in my autoexec.bat file to change the
port speed to 19,200, but get an error message telling me that is
not supported on this computer.  I don't know what else to do,
and I thought maybe somebody has some ideas.

If I can't get this phone to communicate with my LX, I will
exchange it back for the digital StarTAC, but then will have to
go back to using my PCMCIA modem, and when I want to go online
without being able to connect to an AC outlet, the LX's battery
life is measured in minutes, verses the new Qualcomm's built-in
modem not putting a drain on my LX's batteries.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This may be a shot in the dark, but does it need a null modem adapter? =
Some
of the stuff I use requires one. Just a thought....

Have you tried a null modem adaptor?  The HP's serial cable is made
to look like a modem (DCE) to your computer.  You're plugging it in
to another modem device, your phone.  I think you need a null modem
in there.  Give it a try.

I'd really love to find an Outliner that I like. I've tried both TT and
Kamas.
I couldn't get used to the keyboard shortcuts for TT. Kamas seems to be
pretty nice for use on the desktop, but I have a heck of a time trying
to see the cursor on my LX. I think both programs are more awkward than
they need to be.
It would be great if someone were to write an .exm outliner with simple
intuitive keyboard commands! Meanwhile I'm using the Memo outliner for
taking notes. {: P

Try running it from DOS.  It doesn't need much memory, at least on
my LX it'll run in 132k.  Once you're in DOS, just type:

     chkdsk c:

You should get a short 15 (or so) line report on your C drive.

I was kidding.  Pkzip is designed to handle binary type files (ie, executables),
so there shouldn't be any type of character sensitivity.

I just found some interesting and useful info on the (95LX and other HP handheld
products) at:
http://www.finseth.com/~fin/hpdata.html

Doesn't specify the 4-pin serial port pin-out though. Anybody else?

By the way, if you didn't know, the 100LX/200LX serial cable from HP comes with
a tiny adapter plug for the 95LX (and HP48 calculator) and costs little at
http://www.PalmtopPaper.com.

Good point Nathalie.

I keep a generic password-protected log database for my not only family's
medical/dental history, but also for my pets and my cars (subsets of course to
keep things manageable).

And you're right, the doctors and mechanics are always impressed, and more times
than I can recall, have changed their recommendations based on the added
information.

My log file just tracks 3 things to keep it simple:  Date, Subject and Notes.
For each "subject" (family member, car, etc), the records are sorted in
descending date order so that the most recent information is at the top.  Car
mileage is entered in the first columns of the first line of Notes.

This is NOT an anti-Microsoft list, we all use MS-DOS on our

We do not run MS-Office on our palmtops, if we wanted to, we
would get machines with something better than an 80186 CPU.

Star Office is a resource HOG, the anti-thesis of the svelt
200LX applications we have grown accustomed to!

This is *far* from new - this occured weeks ago, in internet time
that is like what, 8 or 9 months!

Why is blasting Microsoft such a wide-spread interest?

I don't mean to blast you, I know you meant well, but this is more

I also use XTreeGold.  It's my favorite app on the LX, an Incredible
program.  I use XTreeGold 3.0.  I discovered that the .XTP files are
really executables (some are EXE files and some are COM).  I renamed
them to EXE or COM as appropriate, used PKLite, LZexe, and Diet to
compress them, and then renamed them back to .XTP files.  I managed
to squeeze XTreeGold down by over 1MB!  PKLite, LZeze, and Diet
had varying compression results, and the resultant compressed files
didn't always work.  It was a very time consuming process, but
XtreeGold 3.0 has alot of impressive features that 1.0 doesn't, and
it was a fun experiment.

My favorite casual text file viewer that had scrolling was "Smooth",
but it required a VGA screen.

Hi All,


WWW/LX & POST/LX are displaying the following errors:

ISP_PPP Baud Too High
Interrupt Overrun Error(s) Baud Rate Too High?


I have reduced the baud to no avail from 38400. 19200, 9600.
Note: I'm using and have always used an external modem.

BTW: This is happening on a double speed unit, under normal System Manager use.
But check this out, all works fine if I install and run it under Software
Carousel.

Also note ccLXPOP & LXnntp run at 38400 without any problems, so go figure.


Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Folks,

I was in at the Kaiser ER the other day (nothing serious as
it turned out) and the Doctor who saw me, a Doctor Blum,
uses a 200LX!

Of course we talked Palmtops. He was concerned with syching
his pocket quicken to his desktop quicken. He is using one
of the newer desktop windows version (99?).

I know this has been discussed but as I use "In Charge" on
the Desktop I hadn't payed much attention.

Thanks for the information.  I've read the documentation in LXTCP, which
makes reference to needing a BOOTP server.  I've hunted around for that,
and seen no references to
such a server on the SUPER site.  Do you (or anyone) know what such a
server is?  I'd really like to get LXTCP up and working.

Subject:      How to separate HPLX-L email to WWWLX folder?
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

It looks like getting the list via the ng has once again stopped for
unknown reasons.  I've reactivated getting the list as individual posts
via email but that really glogs up my email inbox.

I've seen instructions (that I didn't save at the time) that showed how
to set up WWWLX to route the list email to a separate folder so my regular
email is easier to handle.  Can someone point me to where this might be
documented?  Is it in the FAQ?

Thanks,  Russ

Here is the filter section from my post.cfg file:

Suggestion, use the "/f" switch with chkdsk like: chkdsk c: /f

If you have errors in the disk pointers this will remove the errors (but
note, it won't 'fix' the files involved, they're already broke).

There have been a few postings lately about physical meetings.
(Please copy me, and resist the temptation to mention
Nathalie).

Those close to London may be interested in the HPCC (Handheld
and Portable Computer Club). The meetings are on the 2nd
Saturday of each month at Imperial College. Although its name
sounds generic, the club's interest is in HP handhelds
(including calculators). See their web site
(http://www.hpcc.org) for more details.

I'm very interested in outliners.

I've used PC Outline for 6-10 years on both desktops and HPLX palmtops.  PC
Outline has many capabilities and is very configurable.  My only complaints
are its limited data file size and occasional file corruption.  So I'm
interested in switching, but not sure to what.

I have not tried either Kamas or Think Tank, but I'd like to hear about
your experience with them.

  I've also kept a lists of ever-increasing numbers of medications for my wife
and myself in my HP200 for some time now ... not sure whether best in Memo .txt
files or in Notes; I've used both.  Ted.NDB grew to 236K so I started putting
large notes in .txt files.  But not as easily accessed as typing the first few
letters in Notes.

  This summer I had a shoulder operation followed by 3 months of staph
infection.  Invariably, each new doctor's office wanted want me to fill out a
list of drugs that I take with strength, dosage, and helpfully generic names.
*No* handing the HP200 to the receptionist, who couldn't be bothered with
copying the info herself and wasonly mildly impressed, if at all.

  On return visits, as I read a downloaded newsletter or somesuch, a staff
person would brightly observe, "I see you're still playing with your little
computer."  As much as my fellow waiting patient was "playing" with his
magazine.   :)

whenever I can ... with all the tips about cheap sleeps and cheap eats and
out-of-the-way sights carefully secreted away in the trusty HP200.

_Very_ strange!
Hm - did you ever treat the hinge with some oil or something?
This could react with the palmtop's plastic and maybe it could even
'melt' it.

Thanks everybody for the useful information.

As some of you has told, unfragmenting the Hp200 could be a dangerous
operation, especially unfragmenting a big (40 Mb) pcmcia card. Isn't it?

My problem is that I must unfragment both the c: drive and my MagicRam 40 Mb
pcmcia card; moreover in the c: drive there is the permanent Carousel.tmp
file (hidden file). Then:

1) which is the safest software to unfragment the c: drive with Software
Carousel installed (is it necessary to remove the hidden attribute to
Carousel.tmp?)? Is it correct using the Software Carousel disk optimizer
when the Carousel.tmp file resides already on the disk (BTW what is the
right command to run it)?

2) which is the safest software to unfragment big (40 Mb) pcmcia cards? can
it be use frequently? I couldn't use it if every time I have to back up the
card: you well know what it means baking up a 40 Mb card through a PC serial
connection!

Thank you very much,

Paolo

I worked with the author of Outline Plus to develop an outliner for the HP
Portable Plus.  It works on the LX quite well.  OP is lean and mean and
configurable to some extent. The menu system is Lotus-like: no pull downs to
block the view of the text.)

The thing I like most about OP is that the output files are ASCII (no
embedded structure).  It's easy to toggle between outline and text view and
to save the structure as text and load it into PE or VDE for reformatting
and editing. Outliner is available on the SUPER site.

I wasn't even aware that there was a version of XtreeGold after 2.5 -- or
maybe I just stopped trusting them after they went down the disastrous Xtree
for Windows path.  What does V3.0 have that differs from the V2.5 offering?

I also use XTreeGold.  It's my favorite app on the LX, an Incredible

Just a note:
When I run PKUNZIP from the System Manager, or from a
a DOS Box under Windows or OS/2 on a desktop, sometimes
there is very little memory available in DOS.  Then I
have seen the fail CRC error message.  This seems to
be difficult for me to reproduce now on the 200LX.  But,
It was not a corrupted ZIP file, nor a corrupt PKUNZIP.
It was a badly confused PKUNZIP that got past the memory
check and then ran out of memory.  See how much memory you
have free in DOS using MEM.  Then run PKUNZIP and check
its response.  Then exit System Manager (More Applications,
Application, Terminate All...) and see if you have a
differing amount of memory available.

I don't know what good prices are these days for 200LX's,      but geez.... $841
for a 20mb flash?

What planet is HP coming from?  That cost more than the HP 6530 desktop I bought
for my daughter this week at Costco ($650, 433mhz, 88mb/6.4gb, 15" mon + 11mb

Today we needed to look at a 1.6GB text file on the network. Yup Gigabytes!!!

*Nothing* we had would cope.

*Until* I got out my floppy disk with PalEdit on.

It was like sheer magic.

palrun -v pe.exe o:\ws99l--1.ext

and up came the file!!!

and we were at the end in an instant!!

Page-up, page-down worked instantly too!

It contained various record, the longest nearly 900 characters long.

So, there you go folks, looks to me like PalEdit can cope with
unlimited file size!! And this was on an NT machine too.

Also I once remember running HV on a 20MB HTML file :)

Eheh A joke right ? given the smiley and all....

It will run natively on Macintosh, Windows, OS/2, Linux, and maybe some
other plattform (and probably via a thin-client with Java)

Nathalie-

If you start DOS from FILER, you will not be allocating
all memory for the OS.  All of the applications that
you have runnning (including Filer itself and the
200 shell) are taking up their own memory allocations.
To verify this, run raw DOS by terminating all apps.
(& , menu , App , Terminate , OK) then run chkdsk and
see how much memory is free. (mine says 576064).

Then run the 200 shell by typing "200" and press "&"
to see "More Apps".  At the bottom of the screen mine
now says 397K free / 499k total.

Now run the Filer app and start DOS (menu Option DOS)
and run chkdsk again.  It will now show you how much
memory is left.  Mine says 367168.

Having done all of that, I can report that pkunzip (2.04 g)
works just fine from Filer DOS and will unzip a rather
large zip file.

I suggest that you run your zip programs from raw DOS where
you REALLY have all memory available.  If you cannot run
it from there, then something is rotten, either the
zip program(likely), or the zip file (unlikely), or DOS
on you palmtop (bad news unless it is the way you have
DOS configured).  What do you config and autoexec files
look like?

I have three different ones at home.  The two in my wife's and my own
deskside computers are: Databook TMB-240 (or is it 250?) and SCM
Microsystems Swapbox Classic PnP.  These use an ISA bus adapter card cabled
to a half-high drive box mounted in the front of the PC.  I use them with
everything there is for PCMCIA cards: hard drives, SCSI adapter, ethernet,
modem, ATA flash, Nikon Coolpix 100 digital camera, and SRAM cards.

The original card reader I used was an older Databook TMB-200 (if I remember
that model correctly).  That one could only handle the earliest
specification cards - memory technology only, but it did a fine job under
DOS for working with linear flash cards and SRAM cards.

The SCM Swapbox was bought via the web from a vendor referenced on the SCM
homepage, I don't remember now which it was.  The Databook I got from my own
employer, as we used to sell them.

This is Deja Vu all over again, at least for us OS/2 users.
The very same thing is happening with OS/2 user community !

Stardock, a very successfull OS/2  ISV built a business plan and had a ton of
meetings with IBM in order to licence the latest version of the OS (new SMP
kernel, new journalling file-system, lotsa other improvements, etc) and re-brand
and re-market it for the Small Office, Home office crowd, but at the last minute
IBM refused the deal.

IBM seems to be kicking the rest of the unusually loyal user base (not the big
entreprise accounts though) out the door. But tere's nothing like good and solid
technology.

Despite that being quite a blow, not only do we hang on to it (like we do to our
200 Lx) but we also have some very interesting moves up our sleeves coming up in
the next months... all the result of hard work from dedicated user communities
much like this one!

I see a lot of discussion about PKZIP but I haven't seen mention of the
infozip project. I use the DOS version to back up the palmtop, the
Windows version when I find convenient, the OS/2 version to back up the
network and the Linux version when I get the chance. Free, compatible
with PKware, and available for most platforms with provision for text
file end of line conversion.

I know zip dos does need more memory to run than LHA. I don't know how
its memory use or speed compares with PKware. I do like cross platform,
cheap, open source, and loose licenses, though. Dennis Bell had good
advice for memory use, I think.

Subject:      A New Catch for Jeff and his 200lx

An all-women group of engineers have created a pico-satellite launched
into orbit in September.

The satellite looks a bit smaller than a 200lx and runs off of solar
panels and two AA Ni-Cads.  It will be transmitting on the 2 meter band
at 1200 baud using a half-wave dipole made with a Stanley retractable
tape measure.  It actually sounds like something Jeff would have cobbled
together himself.

I wonder if Jeff and his 200lx can bag this bird with his coat-hanger
antenna...

See http://screem.engr.scu.edu/artemis/  for the satellite's homepage and
or slashdot.org for links to some articles about the pico-satellite.

Hi Philippe,

>Ah well, okay then. I'll keep using my lotus spreadsheet!
>
>I wouldn't mind hearing about the functionality, though. Perhaps I could
expand
>on my current spreadsheet...

First of all, visualize an old form of budget/cash flow management... the
envelope method.  Each kind of expense has it's own envelope labeled with
the expense name and the amount needed to meet that expense for each
month.

Every first of the month, each envelope is filled with it's notated
amount of cash.  Throughout that month, each time an expense has to be
paid, the money is taken from the appropriate envelope to cover that
expense.  In this way, one's budget and cash flow is managed using many
different expense categories with reducing balances.  The total of funds
in all of the envelopes equals the full amount of funds available at any
given point in time.

The above system looks good in theory, but in actual practice, it's far
too much hassle.  One of the biggest problems with this method is that
exact change would be needed to pay bills during the month or to
distribute funds to each envelope on the first of each month. Among other
problems is that in today's world, not all bills or expenses can be paid
in cash.

My program uses the same philosophy but solves all of the problems
associated with that old envelope method. It uses an user input interface
that looks a lot like a checkbook register, except for a couple of
things... it also requires that each credit or debit be assigned to an
internal virtual expense envelope and each transaction record has a field
to indicate whether that transaction has been cleared.

Each credit or debit is automatically taken from or deposited into the
program's user selected internal virtual expense envelope. By working
this way, the total of the contents of the virtual envelopes will always
equal the balance in the program's checkbook register.

Other budget and cash flow programs simply allow cash flow problems to
occur and then expose those cash flow problems long after they have
happened, expecting the user to solve those problems, after the fact.

My program actually prevents those cash flow problems from occurring in
the first place by pointing out potential problems in real time and
forcing the user to immediately solve the problem by re-evaluating
priorities and making the necessary decisions before it will accept a
related transaction entry.

In other words, my program will not allow the user to take more funds
from an envelope than it actually contains. ;-)

Whenever the user is not performing a transaction, the default screen
shows a full list of the expense envelopes, their contents and by how
much their contents differ from what they should contain at this point in
time.

My program offers a lot of added functionality and automation to the
envelope budget/cash flow system by handling all of the details
internally so it works kind of like a spreadsheet, except that it's much
smarter.

Just a few examples of the things it automates:

1. The program uses the data in the program's checkbook register database
to reconcile one's checkbook and that transaction database is easily
searchable by almost any criteria.

2. The budget screen automates all necessary calculations to help the
user produce a perfect budget and it's data is directly used by the
program to automatically allocate paycheck deposit funds into the various
virtual envelopes.

3. It alerts the user when an expense payment is due.

If you would like more detail of how it works, just send me a private
email asking for more detail. I'll reply to that personal email with a
copy of an email I sent to a BASIC programmer a while back that explained
it in more detail. It might give you even more ideas on how to improve
your own budget/cash flow program.

If you implement some of my ideas and functionality into your program or
spreadsheet, please consider sending me a copy of your program or
spreadsheet.

I hope you find my ideas and basic philosophy useful to some degree. :-)

Cheers!

Hi Michael,

in Your HP-Calculator You have a currency-converter, and at

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

You can download a macro (first You have to pre-define which currencys You
want, and best, bookmark this page then), rename the file-extension from
money.exe to money.mac, load it in Your c:\_dat on Your palmtop, start the
system-macro-application on Your HP, load the money.mac and execute this
macro then. Et voila, the currency-values in Your
calculator/currency-conversion-module get updated automatically.  As its
said on the webpage the guy who provides this service (and whom I wanted
to say thank You) is a certain Peter Watkins (peterw@clark.net), but I got
a error-message with this email-adress. Maybe he reads it here :-)

Regards, Axel

I have heard it talked about but never experienced it.

Well yesterday and today I have had two database
files corrupt, today it was the phone.pdb which
requested a password even though I had not
applied a password.

Any thoughts as to what may have caused it?

Regards.....Liam

P.S.  What is the best way to salvage the
file?

In that case, there's also an app call IPEX (or something like that) in the

I haven't used it myself (no need), but I'm sure others have.

Hi!  I'm a long time Pilot user, but recently picked up a 200LX because of
all the raves about the machine.  I'm sure this has been asked before, but
is there a simple way to sync the info in my Pilot (datebook, memos, to-do

few bucks for some shareware if need be.

Many thanks,

Turbo C 2.0 (not c++) and Turbo Pascal are available for free download from
Borland at community.borland.com/museum.  It's a little tricky to get to.
Go to that url and log in as anonymous and then enter the url into your
browser and go there again.  That will put you on the download page.

Since we're talking about favorites, I use the following:

Turbo C 2.0
Tasm
Symdeb (the only symbolic source level (sort of) debugger that I've been
able to use on the lx)
Qedit (now TSE jr)
Pkzip/pkunzip (which I've used with total reliability on the 95/100/200lx
for many years)
QuickBasic 4.5 (great for working out algorithms)
Empire (a great game that works pretty well on the lx)
Von Buerg's List

Kedit (like IBM's Xedit):
http://www.kedit.com

For a good selection of older tools check out:
http://www.emsps.com/oldtools/selling.htm

Turbo Pascal (various versions):
http://www.emsps.com/oldtools/borpas.htm#tp2

Turbo C++ v1.0 and Borland C++ v2.0:
http://www.emsps.com/oldtools/borc.htm#bcpp

Borland versions which run on the LX are Turbo C++ v1.0,  2nd Ed., and
Borland C++ v2.0

It sounds like you are getting interference on the serial port
from System Manager.  You need to run the NOFIDDLE program as
part of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file just before SysMgr is loaded.
This will then allow WWW/LX to use the serial port without
interference.

That is your trouble.  The HP connectivity cable already has
the effect of a null modem atapter in it so the 9-pin end is
designed to plug into a PC's serial port, not a modem.  There
is an adapter that comes with the HP CPACK that is black with
9-pin connections on each end.  This is a null modem adapter
and gender changer in one package specifically for connecting
the HP CPACK cable to a modem like you have.

IF you don't have this HP adapter, then you will need both a
generic null modem adapter and a gender changer.

Well I went about this the hard way.  I bought a null modem
cable, that has 9 pin serial ends (was told they are called
RS232 ends) on both ends, to connect between the cable that
plugs into my phone, and my HP connectivity cable, and it works
just fine.  The only catch was the length of the three cables
ended up being about a mile and a half.

So I figured I would shorten these, and try to combine them, and
that did not turn out so pretty.  My plan was to take the cable
that plugged into my phone that had a standard 9 pin serial end
on it, and cut the end off, and then take the HP connectivity
cable and cut the 9 pin serial end off that, and combine the
two, to make a nice short cable.

The local repair computer store that sold me the null modem
cable, told me that a null modem cable is nothing more than two
wires switched in the cable, pins 2 & 3, the transmit & receive
wires.  So the first thing I did was to cut off 9 pin serial end
of my phone cable (luckily leaving enough exposed cable to
reconnect it).

I then proceeded to attempt to match each pin of the 9 pin
serial end to the color wires that went to each pin, using my
ohm meter. This is where I got into trouble.  I figured this
would be very easy, there were 9 wires in the cable, and 9 pins,
one wire goes to each pin, right?  Well guess I am not as smart
as I thought I was, because I could not understand what my meter
was telling me.

For example, when I had the meter in one of the pins, 3 of the
wires had partial continuity, there was resistance, but not a
direct connection.  How could this be?  I could see if maybe the
wires had a calculated resistance in them, so as to act as
resistors, but the same pin connected to 3 wires, that did not
make sense.

Then as I watched my analog meter more closely, I noticed the
needle had what looked like a heart beat.  It would move just
slightly, with about the same rhythm as a heartbeat.  So I
figured my body was somehow causing this, being in the circuit,
with how I was hold the leads, so I put the leads down, so I
wasn't touching them, and the same thing still happened, bounce,
bounce, bounce.

I didn't get why this was.  When I checked the rest of the pins,
only one of the wires matched exactly to a certain pin, with no
resistance.  The rest of the pins either did not match to any
wires, or they had a small amount of resistance.

I ended up putting the cable back together, figuring that the 9
pin serial end, which was larger than a standard 9 pin serial
end, like the end to connect a serial mouse for example, must
have some built in electronic circuitry in it.  That was my best
guess.  I cut out as much out of the cable as I could, to make
it as short as I could, to keep the size to a minimum, so
carrying it would take up less room.

Then I decide to cut the HP connectivity cable down to make it
smaller, and reverse the wires like the guy at the computer
store said to do.  So I cut the connectivity cable just after
that cylindrical thing (If I recall it is some sort of iron
shield to help prevent some interference) and proceed to make a
diagram to match the 9 pin serial end pins to the wires that
connected to them.  This was easy.  Each wire went to only only
one pin.

I then proceeded to cut out the long length of extra wire, in
the connectivity cable, to make it also as short as possible.
But when I connected all the wires, I deliberately reversed the
wires for pin number 2 & 3, per directions from the computer
store worker.  Well I had this cable all put back together, and
it did not work.

Before I put the connectivity wires the way they were, I decided
to do figure out how the null modem cable was wired.  This is
where I got into trouble for the third time.  As I started to
draw a map as to what pin on one end went to the corresponding
pin on the other end, I got the most confused.

I found with my ohm meter:

end 1     end 2
pin 1     pin 2
pin 2     pin 3
pin 3     pin 4, pin 9 (huh?)
pin 4     pin 5
pin 5     pin 1
pin 6     pin 2 (huh?)
pin 7     pin 7
pin 8     pin 8
pin 9     nothing (huh?)

---   begin of part 2 of 2   ---

So once again I was baffled, apparently it was not as simple as
switching just two wires.  I ended up switching the two wires I
switched in the connectivity cable, back to how the were in the
first place, and cut out as much of the connectivity cable as I
could, to make it as short as possible.

Then I cut the null modem cable to as short as I could make
that, and that one went fairly well.  When I cut all these
cable, to shorten them, I used that heat shrinkable tubing to
put over each wire I connected, and used a heat gun to shrink
the tubing. I can't tell you how many wires I soldered together,
forgetting to put the tubing on first.  It was starting to
really piss me off, couldn't remember such a simple task, tubing
first, solder second.

Then the large tubing that I bought to put over all the 9
smaller tubing connections, did not fit over the p connections,
so I ended up having to use some black tape to bundle the 9
tubing covered connections, and then used the large tubing on
just the very edge of the black tape connection, to help keep
the black tape from unraveling.

This whole mess, believe it or not, does work.  It is not very
pretty, but worse yet, is not very small.  There is 3 cables,
with six ends, plus that big bump in the connectivity cable, and
then my three ugly connections, making this total cable length,
that used to be a mile and a half, still now 30" long.  Not what
I had in mind for my end result.

I was hoping for just one short cable, maybe 10" long, to
connect my phone to my LX.  Well I don't feel like I succeeded
in this endeavor.  I was planning on carrying the cable with me,
and if while I am out and about, and want to send or receive
some email, or download my newsgroup messages, in my spare time,
I would be able to.  Well I am able to, but if someone walked up
to me, and asked me what I was doing, and then seen this cable
cluster, I would be embarrassed, even though I am able to net,
from my pocket, and with this new digital phone, with a built-in
digital modem, will not draw power from my LX, like the PCMCIA
modems did.

I haven't went on for any length of time yet, because during the
week my cell rates are 19 cents a minutes, whereas I pay $9.99 a
month to have unlimited weekend usage, so I will test out how
long I can be online, without being connected to an AC outlet,
using this new phone.  I am guessing it would be as long as I
could still focus on the screen, where my 33.6 modem would draw
down a new set of alkalines in only minutes.

So to conclude this, does anyone have the above mentioned
adapter that came with their HP CPACK kit, that is both the
gender changer, and null modem adapter in one, that they would
like to sell?  This would at least allow me to eliminate the one
cable that is in the middle of my phone cable, and my
connectivity cable.  I don't recall ever getting one of the
adapters, but I would swear I have the HP CPACK kit.  I do have
two connectivity cables, with two LX's, but no above mentioned
adapter.

Can anyone maybe shed some light on which wire in the
connectivity cable that I could switch, to eliminate the null
modem cable I am using?  Sorry about the long winded post, that
I broke into two pieces so as not to get rejected, but I needed
to explain what happened.

The new Qualcomm 860 phone I have is really cool.  It is
supposed to be a digital wireless connection, at 14,400.  The
disadvantage, which is not an issue for me, is that if I am not
in a digital area, I can't go wireless.  My old analog StarTAC,
which I used with my APEX 33.6 modem, would work in the analog
area, but would only connect at 9600 baud, and sometimes only
4800 baud.

This new phone has separate transmit and receive bar graph, on
the LCD screen, that is really cool.  You can watch as the modem
is sending and receiving data, in different amounts.  There is
like 10 different levels in each bar graph.  It reminds me of
watching my audio video receivers equalizer in action, when the
music is playing.  I know I am easily amused.  :-)

This new digital connection is defiantly faster than the older
analog connection I was using, but now I have to pay full rate
for the peak time I am online wireless, whereas the older analog
connections when made through a special modem pool, accessed by
a special dial prefix, *3282, was a few cents cheaper, but if
the digital connection is faster, and cleaner, than the time it
takes to send or retrieve a set amount of data should be less,
therefore reducing my airtime charges.

Just thought I would share this with everyone, and any help on
the above issues would be greatly appreciated.

It might be easier to contact Shier Systems and just have 'em make you a
nice pretty cable, it would definately be less frustrating.

Hi Robert & List,

Stan is correct, you need a null modem adapter & gender changer.
You can get both of them at Radio Shack for around $2.99 each.

...And all that the lucky recipients of Microsoft generosity have to do is lobby
the U.S. Government to cut funding to the Department of Justice, as punishment
for the DOJ investigating Microsoft for illegal business practices. But don't
take my word for it, read this article in today's Washington Post at
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/business/longterm/microsoft/micro.htm
(excerpted here without permission):

Microsoft Targets Funding for Antitrust Office

By Dan Morgan and Juliet Eilperin
 Washington Post Staff Writers
Friday, October 15, 1999; Page A1

Microsoft Corp. lobbyists and allies are aggressively pressing
Congress to reduce next year's proposed funding for the Justice
Department's antitrust division, the giant software company's accuser
in a storied court battle.

Microsoft representatives have urged House and Senate members to
cut President Clinton's proposed funding for the division by about $9
million this year. And nonprofit organizations that receive financial
support from the company have also urged key congressional
appropriators to limit spending for the division when they begin their
final negotiations on the Justice Department budget, possibly as early
as Monday.

The nonprofit groups made their request in a letter last month after
an all-expenses-paid trip to Microsoft headquarters in Redmond,
Wash., where they were entertained and briefed on an array of
issues facing the company.
...
Last month, a dozen handpicked representatives of influential
Washington-based policy organizations traveled to Redmond for three
days of briefings that included tickets to a Seattle Mariners game and
dinner and entertainment at Seattle's Teatro ZinZani, according to an
itinerary.
...

Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to make the point that Microsoft is a
friend to no one but itself.

Speaking of synching the 200lx...

I'm sure that this has been hashed out before, but is there any way
whatsoever to synchronize the 200lx with a winCE machine via the IR port?
Or to just exchange files?

thanks!

Run DBCHECK with the /D switch and get an ASCII dump of the db contents.
If you end up having to recreate the db it'll come in handy.
This is what I did when my APPT.ADB went bad recently.

Also, for the future, look at the sample backup BAT files in the DBCHECK
doc.  I now use one to make periodic backups so I can recover if/when it
happens to me again.

Give POST/LX another 10K in the Sysman launch command line?

That's all I can think of seeing you can run under SC in I assume quite
a big session w/o overrun errors. I assume you store messages on the
same drive - I remember I got overrun errors using my old EXP card as
storage before it failed and EXP replaced it. A slow storage media can
stimulate the overrun message.

Hi all,

I'm attempting to connect using WWW/LX to Pipex Dial's
special Orange POP number, which is (as the name suggests)
specifically for Orange mobile phones, and uses the CHAP
login system. While I've had no problems connecting to the
normal Pipex (0845) POP, sadly things haven't turned out the
same way trying to connect using the Orange number.

After seemingly sucesfully connecting (the "Connected 9600"
message appears"), the message "Starting PPP negotiation"
is, as usual, the next message line. "Negotiating LCP"
appears to be completed sucessfully, but the next stage,
"Negotiating IPCP" always ends in failure (the little up
arrows just keep on coming...!) and WWW/LX gives up in the
end, saying "Aborting!".

In the setup, I have the modem and phone number set
correctly. "Communication" is set to "PPP". My login and
password are definitely correct and, for the "IP", "DNS" and
"Alternate DNS" numbers, I have each set to "0.0.0.0", which
I believe is appropriate. (I have also tried setting the DNS
and alternate DNS to specific Pipex-relevant numbers which
work with the normal POP number, but still no joy). For the
"Dialing script", I have tried both "CHAP_Script" and
"Pipex_Script" to no avail.

If anyone has any suggestions as to why isn't working, I'd be
extremely grateful!

Thanks,

 -Mike games.hplx.net

Actually, most stores sell about an INCH long null modem adapter plug
instead of an entire cable.  You might need another small inch long

Thats wise. You should try PalEdit which is a small text editor with the looks
of the built in Memo. In addition it allows simple and easy database operations
on structured ASCII text as you describe. You can find it at www.dasoft.com and
at www.palmtops.net

> to find the part in the txt file i need, i insert markers (like *1*, *2*,
> etc) and do an F4 for find in memo

A good and fast search program is XGREP which I use in conjunction with
PalEdit. I think I downloaded it from Simtel.

Don't worry. These two programs will not eat much of your disk space.

short answer:
the reason you guys are in this predicament is that you work too much and
have women do most of the shopping. also, more women than men are voting,
and they can shout louder as a group (feminists) because you let them

        Hi,

        I am selling my Sparcom Drive100. It's a portable floppy disk drive
for 720kb & 1.44Mb disks. I don't use it anymore. It is almost new (very,
very little used, really) and works perfectly.


        I have not kept the original box, sorry,but I do keep it's manual and
drivers disk :)

        I am asking US$130 for it, shipping included.

        This is not the first time I post this ad. I hope this time I get a
real customer ;)

        In short:

        I ask US$130, and you get:

        -The drive
        -It's original cable, manual and driver (even the original bill if
         you want it)

        You do NOT get:

        -The original box (sorry)
        -The transformer. It is  needed to recharge it's internal batteries (unless
        you are an european, the one I use will be unuseable for you). Any
        transformer from 9V to 18V will work (AC or DC, that does not matter).


        If anyone is interested, email me.


                Bye,

Hi,

I don't know Eudora. But I think, since the mail-relaying mechanism
does not generally need to parse the "Date:" line (a tedious job!),
therefore mails with such "Date:" would arrive savfely.

And then the mails would be appended to the mail-folder as it is.
Then the folder would be opened by a mail-reader. If the mails are
to be shown in the original order as they are in the folder, there
would be still no need to parse the line. The line would be displayed
as it is. So far, so good.

But if there is a date-sorting feature in the mail-reader, or if
the mail-reader always parse the Date-line in order to display the
date uniformly in its own style, there would be a problem.

The first problem I could imagine is a overflow of time_t. This would
cause an undefined behaviour of the mail-reader upon parsing, sorting
or converting such dates unless this limit be explicitly handled and
stated in the manual of the software.

The current time_t is usually defined to be of type (signed) long in
the C language in the include file <time.h> (I have no idea about other
languages.) The value of time_t record the numbers of seconds from an
"epoch" of 1 January 1970. Thus the last second this variable can handle
would be usually (time_t = 0x7FFFFFFF = 2147483647)

        2038-01-19T03:14:07Z

where 'T' in the ISO-format is a separator and Z means the "Zulu"
time, i.e. UTC. The above "2049" obviously exceeds this value.

"Undefined behaviour" at this moment means, there are a variety of
possibilities - either the program tries to detect an overlow and
handle it explicitly or it just "lets it happen" (possibly a
"wrap-back" (sp?), or Ctrl-Alt-Del, ..., etc..  "Eudora" does
not seem to handle this case since it displays a blank line
without issing warning messages (?). (Assumption of the C language).
Of source, it might have been an intention that a blank line be used
to signal an error.

But time_t is a UNIX time-keeping strategy. Why is it used here to
explain the problem?  So far as I'm aware, the programmers tend to
convert a string-time to time_t, which is required (ISO/ANSI) to be
an arithmetic type, because it is linear (or affine for the purists)
and is thus more convient for jobs such as sorting or timezone-
conversion.

There are fucntions unix2dos() and dos2unix() in the Turbo C 2.0
library for conversion between a dos-time and time_t for instance.

By he way, Note that Turbo C 2.1 is freely available and run well
on our palmtoip. Does anyone know the difference between 2.0 and 2.1?
And should I switch to version 2.1?

Also, the Real Time Clock on our plamtop can record a year of 9999.
But not MSDOS. I don't think I could easily bulid a Y2K-Bug, but
a 2038-Bug into a C-programm.

Hi,

I wonder if anybody is coding in F77 on our HPLX. I have been looking for
a f77 compiler with which I could compile and link f77 codes to C
programs. (I'm using Turbo C 2.0). I'm tried of translating them to C. :(

Is there any free 16-bit F77 compiler available too?

I highly recommend xgrep too! It's small, fast (not the fastest when
reg. exp. is used), and it supports recursision. That is to say,

        xgrep -r <expression> *.*

will search in all files in the current and subdirectories for the
expression.

And the author Robert Nordier is a nice guy. I complained to him
that it could not handle long lines (although the standard UNIX
grep does not handle long lines either) because I usually append
e.g. a whole abstract as a single line to my chronological log files.

This is what I got from him:
------------------------------------------------
Thank you very much for your message.

The attached file, xgsrc.zip, contains three files:

    xgrep.s     The original source code
    patch       A patch (UNIX diff -u) on xgrep.s above
    xgrep.com   A new version of xgrep (1.04)

I have increased the line buffer size from 1024 bytes (max line
length of 1022 bytes) to 16384 (max line length of 16382 bytes).

Because of the way xgrep is written, it will probably require
various code changes if you need to grep lines much longer than
that.  (The UNIX System V grep, on which xgrep was based, also cut
lines longer than 1022 bytes.)

I hope this will be some help (and that the new version works OK:
it is a long time since I looked at the code :), but let me know
if you have any problems.
-----------------------------------------------

So, xgrep on my palmtop also became the most long-line-capable
among all clones of grep I've tested. I think xgrep is a "must"
on our palmtop. It's one of the best and most frequently used on
my palmtop!

Please let me know if you guys and gals (sp?) want this version.
I mean the binary. Please write him for source codes.

I once saw that it is collected on S.U.P.E.R. too.

I actually started out that route.  I co-worker borrowed me a
null modem adapter, but it was 25 pin, and then I needed two 25
pin to 9 pin adapters for each end, which would be much larger
that the shortened 9 pin numm modem cable I cobbled up.  I am
going to contact Shier Systems and see if they can make me
something that would be more professional looking, and hopefully
more compact.

There is a free Fortran77 compiler on Simtel (bcf7713b.zip). Judging from
the docs, it should be able to run on the LX, but I haven't tried it.
There is also a fortran to c translator on Simtel (f2c_exe.zip).

http://www.simtel.net/simcgi-bin/dosfind.cgi?fortran

will give you a list of all the Fortran related tools on Simtel. I found
both those mentioned above there.

And this is my approach too. They are to be shared on different
systems (UNIX in my case). No problem of versions, upgrades, and
so on.

I did not like long lines. But now, I append everything as a single
line to my database files and "xgrep" them. Whenever I'd like to
read the output comfortably, "fmt" is a quick solution.  For the
first zoom mode of our palmtop, fmt -64 is a proper width (my default).

For special symbols, I currently use LaTeX syntax. And I'm getting
used to reading them. :)

ASCII ist the most portable database format. :)  And there are
enough utilities to make them very useful right from our pockets.

Just a small update...

IIRC, people (Longden?) have had success installing Microsoft Fortran on
the LX too. Don't know which flavour of Fortran is it, though.

This was discussed on the list long ago, probably a couple of years...

Hi,

Please let me know if you like to test it. Also, please tell me if
there would be legal problems distributing such as freeware. I got
the DES outside the states. Enigma would not be a problem I guess
since it's german and it's old.

The advantage of this one is

1. compatible to crypt(1), so that one can exchange crypted
   files between HPLX and UNIX.
2. via patch mode, one can crypt all files in a directory
   with the same key without the need of extra disk space.
   (this is an extension.) This would be a pain using a standard
   crypt(1) because one would have to filter and rename each file
   (keeping a script would leave the passwords around).

   * But this is also dangeous! * One should never abort the
   execution when the program is running in this mode. I don't
   know how to handle a partially crypted file. :(

3. the file size is 12954 bytes (pklited).

usage: crypt -vgtpk:dwW file file ... 
-g: raw pnm image file (header not crypted)
-t: preserve the access and modification times
-p: overwrite file(s) instead of filtering
-k <passwd>: specify password if -p selected
-v: verbsoe (prints filenames if -p selected)

Question: how long does it take to crack such a file? And how?
          I wonder also because I once, no twice, crypted a file
          I was editing in vi by falsly pressing 'X' instead of
          'x' for exit without knowing the passwd. ;(

Subject:      beta tester wanted: matstat.exe (numerical algebra for HPLX)
Content-Type: text

Hi again,

First of all, PCMATLAB does run very well on our palmtop with
a fpu-emulator (I use em87.com, 11361-byte TSR). But I myself
also need a similar command-line oriented program for number-
crunching. The program reads matrices in free-format (No, you
don't need to tell him the dimension) from disk-files or stdin.
I hope the beta tester would have another reliable program for
comparing the results.

The idea was to "stat" a matrix and print as much info as possible.
The word "stat" is derived from the UNIX system call stat(2).

e.g. file1.dat:

# comments allowed here
  4   3   8             # comments allowed here
   9   5   1            % this is allowed too
  2   7          6      # need not be alligned like in Fortran

>matstat file1.dat

# 3 x 3 magic square
# condition number = 4.330127e+00
# numerical rank (SVD) = 3
# numerical rank (QRD) = *3             (redundant test, will be deleted)
# determinant (LU) = 360
# determinant (LDU) = 360               (redundant test, will be deleted)
# determinant (QR) = *360.000000        (redundant test, will be deleted)
# Frobenius norm = 16.881943
# 2-norm = 15.000000
# 1-norm = 15
# oo-norm = 15
# trace = 15

e.g.

>gmat -i 3x3 | matstat (generate 3x3 an identity matrix)

# 3 x 3 normal symmetric positive definite idempotent orthogonal matrix
# 1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 (0.00 deg)         (*still a BUG here* !)
# theta=0.00 phi=-0.00 psi=0.00 (deg)           (*still a BUG here* !)
# (improper rotation matrix)                    (*still a BUG here* !)
# condition number = 1
# numerical rank (SVD) = 3
# determinant (LU) = 1
# determinant (LDU) = 1
# inertia (HQR): (3, 0, 0)
# Frobenius norm = 1.732051
# 2-norm = 1
# 1-norm = 1
# oo-norm = 1
# trace = 3

Most frequently used option might be matstat -z:

> matstat -z file1.dat

            15            15            15  # sum of 3 items
             2             3             1  # minimum
             9             7             8  # maximum
             5             5             5  # arithmetic mean
       4.16017       4.71769       3.63424  # geometric mean
       3.48387       4.43662       2.32258  # harmonic mean
           101            83           101  # sum of squares
       33.6667       27.6667       33.6667  # autocorrelation(0)
            13             4            13  # variance (unbiased)
       3.60555             2       3.60555  # std. dev. (unbiased)
        2.9652        2.9652        2.9652  # median of abs. dev.
             4             5             6  # median

> matstat -h file1.dat (find eigenvalues)

  15.000000   0.000000
   0.000000   4.898979
   0.000000  -4.898979

Empire is one of the early war games that was converted to a computer game
sometime around the middle 80's.  Another, more complex version became
popular on the net during it's early text only days.  It was played via
email for years.

The original version was upgraded into a game called Empire Deluxe and has
been a popular play by email game for years.  It was also one of the first
commercial games to be played interactively over modems.  Unfortunately it's
too long a game for that to work very well.  The typical game involves a few
hundred moves and can take days to play.

Do a web search for more info on it, including screen shots and
instructions.  Be careful to look for Empire Deluxe.  The other empire
that's a text net game is very different.  It might work on the palmtop but
you need several other players.  Also avoid Empire II.  It's a totally
different game.

As to where to get it, I'd watch ebay and other auctions.  Also a note on
some empire newsgroups might get you a copy.  I think it's been out of
production for some time.

I will say this about Empire.  It and the flight simulator are the only
games I've ever played for any extended length of time.  And I've probably
spent 100 times the hours with Empire that I have with the flight simulator.

I think I'd consider an alternative to defragmenting your PC card for a
couple of reasons.  For one thing,  defragmenting, even if it works
correctly, involves a LOT of writes to your card.  Given the fact that
writing wears them out I think you would considerably shorten the life of
the card.  To say nothing of the danger of corruption if your batteries go,
which is very possible with that large number of writes at once.

Additionaly, there is no head on the card that has to move to be positioned
over the data.  So there's no performance advantage in defragmenting.

If you have software that absolutely requires defragmenting during
installation, you can simulate this by backing up the card and restoring
everything.  If the software absolutely requires that the card stay totally
defragmented,  I'd consider not using it.

If they suggest a defragmented disc for performance reason then forget it.
You, in effect, already have that for most purposes since it's not
mechanical and it's the mechanical nature of hard drives that makes
defragmenting advantageous.

Subject: Unfragmenting (was: Secure Device software)

Thanks everybody for the useful information.

As some of you has told, unfragmenting the Hp200 could be a dangerous
operation, especially unfragmenting a big (40 Mb) pcmcia card. Isn't it?

My problem is that I must unfragment both the c: drive and my MagicRam 40 Mb
pcmcia card; moreover in the c: drive there is the permanent Carousel.tmp
file (hidden file). Then:

1) which is the safest software to unfragment the c: drive with Software
Carousel installed (is it necessary to remove the hidden attribute to
Carousel.tmp?)? Is it correct using the Software Carousel disk optimizer
when the Carousel.tmp file resides already on the disk (BTW what is the
right command to run it)?

2) which is the safest software to unfragment big (40 Mb) pcmcia cards? can
it be use frequently? I couldn't use it if every time I have to back up the
card: you well know what it means baking up a 40 Mb card through a PC serial
connection!

Thank you very much,

Paolo

I have been experimenting with customizing the PDB file and have a couple
of questions about the results.

I had a standard file which I changed as follows: I split the name field
into a last name and a first name file. With a databse of about 650 names,
the file size dropped from approximately 74K to 71K.

I then took the newly altered file and deleted the address related fields
as I normally don't use them. The file size ballooned to about 240K!.

Can anyone explain why these changes occurred, and perhaps in a generic way
explain the likely results of various kinds of changes.

(And yes, I did back up my original file before making any changes in case
things got screwed up.)

TIA

Make sure it is WWW/LX 2.1e. The WWW.EXE is dated 11th October, that is
last Monday.

If you have that then I wonder if you are sure you have data emabled
with your cellular provider? Have you used the phone for data?

> And get this message, infrared connection was lost and so on !

I seem to have run out of ideas for the moment. Maybe someone else with
a s25 will help out.

Hope you get it working!!!!!!

Have you tried transferring phone numbers to and from your palmtop?

Regards, Tony
Oh another thought - if you WWW/LX is not registered it will cut out
after transferring 16K of data. I'm not sure how busy the IR port is
and how the data is counted.

That is a Seimens c25 phone? GSM900?

Oh, you seem to be sending your messages twice, or is it just to me and
the list, oh yes it could be that. Just to the list is fine! :)

Hey Alex, you use even more !!!! than I do :)

Hi Robert & List l,

My external modem is 25 pin female, so I got a  (all from Radio Shack):

So the setup goes as follows:

The hole setup is the lenth of a flashcard.

I had no news from hplx.org since 11 October either, and hence set
HPLX-L to MAIL. This gives me the list messages in my email, from where
a filter puts them in a separate box. Today (16 October) I decided to
change Lastnr=3D to -10 in the post.cfg. Here are the results for just =
three
groups:

Software: Lastnr was 249, all messages I found today were older than 11
October; present session report says 234 messages ranging from 5 to
240.

List: Lastnr was 11773, all messages I found today were old, except
yours (David's)!; present session report says 11798 messages ranging
from 1 to 11800. None of the many messages I found in my mailbox were
in the Newsgroup download, except David's.

Hardware: Lastnr was 100; all messages today were old; session report
says 95 messages ranging from 4 to 98.

It may not be just my setup problem then! Any advice welcome.

Today I had a rather strange occurrence with the Enter key.  I was
attempting to exit the System Manager with the Menu Applications Terminate
All function.  For some strange reason, the Enter key would not work.  I
then pressed Esc several times and jumped into Memo to check the Enter key.
 Lo and behold, it worked!  I tried the process again, and could not exit
System Manager.  Finally, I rebooted the 200LX and all was well...I could
successfully exit SysMan to DOS once again.  Any ideas as to the cause?

Yes, I hadn't thought of that.  As it turns out, I will send in the 2 meg

Subject:      Synching with a PC (for a newbie)
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hi everyone,

I've had my 200LX for a couple of years now, and I've always transferred
files, as a backup measure, to and from my PC with TRANSFILE WIN 200, which
is great for this purpose.

However, I'd now like to synch the LX files (notes, contacts, dates) with
equivalents on the PC.  My question is this:  do I *need* the HP
Connectivity Pack?  Or can I just use some freeware/shareware along with
the serial cable that I already have?

I don't need to be fancy about this, just some simple synching to a rough
equivalent in Windows.  I just noticed a new download on the SUPER site
that synchs contacts with Outlook, and that sounds good, but I don't know
what I need as a prerequisite for using this.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

I am getting mere news from hplx.org now. It seems to be in order,
except several posts between 11 October and now are missing. (As
regards the list they can be downloaded from the site, I suppose.)

If anything was done to achieve this, thanks. If not, I remain curious.

You certainly will - I just checked and the high message number had
jumped by over 400!! Seems like a bunch of older messages got

Yup you have data enabled that's for sure.

Frustrating for you to see the connection terminate so soon each time!

It does seem like the IrDA connection is getting out of synch for some
reason.

I use a Nokia 8810 and have to be careful to actually *turn if off*
after each run. That's because of a bug in the phone's firmware. But
apart from that it works perfectly.

Does it go better if you exit from WWW/LX (getting back to a DOS
prompt, with WWW/LX not loaded) and turn the phone off and turn it on
again. Worth a try.

Somebody on the list has reported getting the s25 working with that
latest WWW.EXE. Actually I saw an s25 for the first time today and was
tempted to ask if I could test it :)

Sorry I can't think of anything else apart from obvious things which
you must have checked:

Have you used your palmtop with a landline and connected to your ISP
with WWW/LX? If yes, then we can be sure your Login/Password and Login
script are correct.

Oh, I asked this before - is your WWW.EXE registered? The unregistered
demo cuts out after 16K of data - I said that before I think. If you
are unregistered that could well be the reason for the cutoff if
packets are being re-sent.

I wish you the best of luck and hope smebody else can help further!
Do tell us when you succeed!

Hi List
I have a small 2k utility that I have used for many years.
It dspys a list of all the the files in the dir just like DOS.
In addition it permits one to enter about 30 chars of text
description at the right.  This is great for lg dirs like public
domain etc. where you may not go into the dir for months
or years and want to know what is in any particular file.
Is there anyone who could and would want to upgrade it
so that it will sort on date, size, unsorted, etc?

Sometimes I think INN (the news server I use) was designed just to make my

I am running WWW/LX and it displayed the date line with the year 2049.  =

probably is specific to your program.

Dear Palmtoppers,

Is there a way to place multiple db applications on the system manager
menu (or its replacement) so that different strokes will open up different
databases?  this would be handy, for instance, to have 1 db with
restaurants, one with music cds, and so on.  I suspect that there is,
because icons for various data-bases exits, but I can't figure out how to
do this.

Work too much? Me? No way! I gave up that bad habit long ago.

Now for some obligatory HPLX content. I have a spare 200LX that happens to be an Asian version. The shifted letter keys create what I perceive to be Asian (Kanji?) characters of one sort or another. Is there any reason this would *not* make a good candidate for the various Thaddeus upgrades?

This is fairly easy with X-Finder.  That's what I use to open any of
several DBs (each with its own icon).  You could also use keystuff in a
batch file.  IIRC - the keystuff docs include instructions for doing
what you want.

X-Finder & Keystuff are both available on SUPER.

I think there's a program (called OPEN ?) on SUPER that will cause the
LX's DB to open against the db of your choice.  I suppose you could
install this program in the LX ap manager multiple times, each time
pointing to a different db of your choice.

All this is theory, I haven't used it.

I must be getting feeble-minded in my old age  8-)   Completely forgot
to mention OPEN.  That's what I use in conjunction with XF (although XF
will also open DBs without it.  It's much easier to use than Keystuff.

The coolest approach is to use XF (with or without OPEN) to open DBs
from icons...

Laust has a formidable memory! This was brought up back in '97.

Yes Rudi, I've got MS Fortran 77 (5.1) installed on my LX, tho I haven't
had much occasion to use it except to help my wife in her math class for a
problem involving a biorhythm calculation.

My install was limited to a medium model, 8087 emulation and no graphics
rtns, and takes about 1.3mb.

I also tried the freeware F77 compiler at Simtel, but maybe you'll have
better luck with the German diagnostic and error messages than I did.

Email me if you need more details.

I've yet to hear reports of card failures that may be attributed to
excessive wear.  The threat MAY be minimal. I defrag about once every two
weeks with no ill effects (to either myself or my card).

   >To say nothing of the danger of corruption if your batteries go, which

Good point, I usually run this while plugged in to AC.

   >Additionaly, there is no head on the card that has to move to be
   >positioned over the data.  So there's no performance advantage in
   >defragmenting.

This point comes up regularly, and is probably valid.  However, there may
be some minimal performance gains from contiguous data being loading into
the buffer area, but this is admittedly conjecture on my part.

   >If you have software that absolutely requires defragmenting during
   >installation, you can simulate this by backing up the card and
   >restoring everything.

True, tho something of a nuisance.

   If the software absolutely requires that the
   >card stay totally defragmented,  I'd consider not using it.

I don't know of any software that requires this on an ongoing basis. I
agree, it'd be a junk of a program to do so.

   >If they suggest a defragmented disc for performance reason then
   >forget it. You, in effect, already have that for most purposes

The other major critical issue in defragmenting is that consolidated data
is easier to recover, in the event that's needed.  Even backups
occasionally fail, or worse, may propagate a problem.  I prefer to keep my
stuff in neat little piles ... something my mom drilled into me I guess.

Ask David Sargeant one of these days about data recovery at the lowest
and most agonizing level.  Not to say that even with the data in one piece,
it's easy for anyone to do ... but it's at least humanly possible.

Hi List,

I guess I've spent about 6 hours so far this weekend learning PE/PIM, and I
think I'm _finally_ starting to "get it".  (still much to learn though!)

After hours of banging away at it, I've pretty much come to the conclusion
that I REALLY like using PE to work with my databases and text files, but so
far I don't see a compelling reason to use PIM for handling appts and todos
over the built-in apps. (Someone else certainly might though. This is just
my personal preference.)

I think the Ctl-C function that displays all the lines in the file with
specific text is excellant! I used a smartclip to copy in my main database
file, plus a "common user support issues" text file that I often refer to.
Now I can hit Ctl-C to see only certain catagories, or all the lines in the
file with specific words. I love that! Very useful! (and very fast!)

Although I did load a phone.pim file with the phone numbers from my .pdb,
I'm still not sure that I'll use that over the built-in phone app. Maybe I
will. We'll see.

I guess the thing that triggered me to look at PE/PIM this weekend was when
I saw Nathalie's post where she said that all of her database files are
ASCII text files. Then someone else recommended that she try PE for working
with those files. Sure enough, I think that turned out to be an excellant
suggestion!

I had tried learning PE/PIM about 3 times before, and ended up deleting it
off my LX. However, I was coming at it from the angle of using it to manage
appts and todos, and I just found it more clumsy for me than using the
built-ins.
But this time I was coming at it more from the angle of using PE to handle
ASCII database/textfiles. Sure enough, I find it to be a splendid tool for
this!

I also used palrun to run PE/PIM on my desktop. Very handy to be able to
send text files back and forth between the LX and the desktop, and use the
same app on both machines to work with them. Even if I were on a machine
that didn't have PE, I can just load my files into any text editor and work
with them.

I'm going to continue to explore PE/PIM. I'm sure there are other excellant
things it's capable of doing that I haven't discovered yet.

Hope this didn't bore everyone.  : )

Steve

I am out of town so I can't look at my manuals. I think MS Fortran 4.x is f77
and certified of some sort. MS Fortran 3.x is not certified, but I think it
is at least f66. Have not actually run either on the LX.

I think I have MS Fortran 4.x for sale. See

I use OPEN with my databases and 123 spreadsheets.  I think Keystuff is
also required for 123 in order to expand the limited keyboard buffer, which
normally won't hold the keystrokes to start 123 in addition to the name of
the spreadsheet.

If someone will contact me off-list (Reply-To set), I'm curious how much
Shier Systems charges for those.  Can make my own (It's a little hard to
put in 10 words or less, but I can get all the parts for an 200LX to
modem cable, just a lot of trouble to crimp the 200LX end without the
proper $60 tool!), though maybe I could get the tool & just make a
"scad" of these if many want this.  I use my PC110 for most modeming,
but I'm strange <G>

I recently got a new job and can't maintain hplx.net from work anymore,
which is bad.  I'm going to have to figure out how to maintain the server
remotely, without running up a huge bill on my cellular phone.

Incidentlly, the name can be switched back to news.hplx.net now, because
it works the same as news.hplx.org and I think .net looks better. <g>

I use SMMx for that purpose.  It lets you do what you want (click on an
icon to open a particular database), and also lets you create sub-menus.
So on your main screen you could have an icon for "Database", one for
"Appt", etc., whic would take you to another menu where you could run your
indivual files.

If you are really serious about going FORTRAN, why don't you take the
next logical step - FORTRAN90?
You can get a FREE (a wee bit restricted) FORTRAN compiler from the
people that develop the world-best FORTRAN-compiler: LAHEY (No - I am
not married to them or such). Look at www.lahey.com for a download of
ELF (the last time I looked they still had it). Though this program
is not small (several Megs) and really would prefer a Numerical
Co-Processor I managed to run it under 87 emulator on a HP Omnibook.
I never tried it on the HPLX though!

Good Luck   - hjs

Thanks, David, for keeping the news on! I will take the intermittent
problems for granted, and now and then switch back to the email
service. Whenever the list mirror is available, I prefer that, so I can
send and receive email quickly when I want, without doing the list.

Just for the record:

hplx.org/net seemed to be doing fine now, as I reported. I (luckily) did
not yet receive the over 400-lair, and the number last read, against
the number of messages in the status report still does not
reflect their presence. Strange, that some users see the same groups
behave differently! Checked this again before sending this message:
'could not resolve address'... (The most common of these transient
problems with hplx.net, but usually resolved later the same day.)

You should have a look at Paradox 3.5 for DOS. The installation takes 2.2MB
and it is FAST. Paradox loads as much data as possible into memory
(conventional and Expanded) so queries are quite fast. If you are lucky
enough to have a 5, 32 or 64 MB internal memory, the software is very
efficient.

The menu interface is similar to LOTUS 123.

Subject:      Receiving Faxes via eMail on the HPLX
MIME-Version: 1.0

Hi,

The HPLX is a great tool to easily send short faxes. A number of programmes
send faxes quite well. The issue with a portable machine is to _receive_
faxes as you are not always plugged into the telephone line.

A free service WWW.EFAX.COM allows you to have your personal fax number
accessible all the time. The received fax is then forwarded as a TIFF
attachement to your eMail box that you can retrieve whenever you want.

With Nettamer, the attachement must be UUDecoded first. The resulting TIFF
file can then be view with the BGFAX viewing utility View.exe. An nice
improvement would be to convince Stephan Peichl to add the TIFF file as a
recognized format for LXPIC.

When you set up the www.efax.com service, indicate that you are using an
OTHER or Linux platform otherwise the faxes will be sent in a proprietary
format which can only be read by a Windows or Mac viewer.

The same EFAX service is also nice to transform any fax machine into a black
and white scanner.

Happy faxing !

p.s. I have no connection with efax etc...

I have no idea but they're paying pretty high prices.  I've been oubid on
quite a number of 200LX's by that same bidder.  I'm just about curious

Yep - sort of...   That's kbuf128.sys (included with KS).  I have this
installed to open wk1 worksheets in any directory with X-Finder.  Handy
to have the extra buffer space.

I'm always impressed when someone successfully runs SMMx.  All I ever
got from trying it was a lot of practice doing 3-finger salutes  8-(

From what folks who get it running report, SMMx sounds like a great
program.  For me, XF does the same thing with GUI sub-menus, plus a
whole lot more.

Have you had any trouble getting kbuf128.sys to work on a 32Meg-T2
machine?  In which config.sys do you place kbuf128.sys?  The one in
C:\T2_DRVRS or C:\ (root)?
Keystuf works fine, but I cannot seem to get kbuf128.sys to "activate"
as a device.
        Thanks for any advice offered,

FWIW...
I mentioned the utility, so I'll respond, tho I'll also add that I have
neither the 32mb upgrade (I have a 6mb LX) nor do I run SC, so this info
may not be applicable to you.

I have kbuf128.sys in my a:\config.sys, and it appears immediately after
the driver for tremm.sys (Mack's EMS driver).

Are your _SURE_ NOFIDDLE is getting run?  NOFIDDLE does not
product a banner or fanfare when it runs or doesn't run.  So,
it is diffiicult to tell if it is.  Also, if you are using
SC, then you need to run NOFIDDLE in the batch file that
powers the first SC work session that loads SysMgr and
NOFIDDLE should be run immediately before the  200  command.

Does WWW/LX Plus run fine in the first SC work session if you
terminate SysMgr?  If this is the case, then 999 out of 1000
cases, SysMgr is interfering.

If you are running SC, then why bother going online with
WWW/LX from within SysMgr.  Why not just use a different work
session?

Yikes!  Robert, you certainly did do this the hard way.  At

The advice the guy in the computer store gave you about a null
modem was wrong.  Well, actually not wrong, but not fully
correct.  A null modem will certainly switch the send and
receive pins, but it will also switch around and cross connect
a bunch of the hardware control lines.  Actually, there are
about 5 different ways to configure a null modem adapter.

The and sure send and receive pins on a DB25 RS-232 connector
are 2 and 3, but I am not so sure they are also 2 and 3 on a
DB9 connector.

I don't know what else to say.  All the signals in the RS-232
cable and null modems, etc., etc., can be very confusing and
tedious to figure out.  I have made my own custom cables by
using a RJ-45 8-position modular phone plug on the end of the
HP cable.  Then I have adapters to connect to lots of other
stuff.  But I can't design a custom cable for you from here in
New Jersey.  Perhaps Dave Shier's group can.

You can't.  The palmtop considers the A: drive frlash card to
be a removable media device and so it can only have one

I used to play that and text mode star trek on the PDP-11 at work (during
breaks only, of course).

I did manage to get the source for Empire at one point. It was Fortran-77
code! Made a half hearted attempt to translate it to Turbo Pascal at one
point, but it was such a piece of spaghetti (computed goto's everywhere)
that I figured it would be easier to start from scratch. I did eventually
have some working code for the IBM PC-XT, but that was years ago and I think
I might still have it on 5.25" floppies (which I can't read any more :-)

Best game I ever played, except for Links LS.

Nothing is safely hot-swappable in the 100/200LX.   Always close all

I haven't heard of this happening either.  But I know that an usually large

Hi Stephan,

Sorry, I meant to say that I *also* tried leaving the DNS and alternate DNS
blank, in addition to just setting the IP to nothing (and leaving the DNS
settings as they were). Do the DNS settings even have any effect with CHAP?

Both programs are great at doing different things. I like to think of X-Finder

advantages, that's why I use both.

That's the trouble with it... it's highly picky.  The latest version is a
bit more stable, and runs fine on my machine, but plenty of other people
have trouble with it.

Of course, I've got XFinder on there too.  <g>

http://games.hplx.net has been updated with a new game to
download, a Centipede-clone (for those who can remember that
far back!) by the name of Megapede.

There's also plenty more games information for your perusal;
the list is exhaustive to the point of exhausting... Once
again, however, any information you have regarding games
that work on the LX, please let me know!

For those that haven't visited in quite a while or (shame on
you!) not at all, there's also a small literature section
which has a few useful links, including (amongst others) the
Project Gutenberg site.

Finally, I've set up a discussion forum dedicated to
palmtop-related games - surely a world first (I wonder
why...?!)! While it's not meant to be exclusively for the
DOS LX range, you might want to check it out as a potential
source of information. (After all, wonderful as products
such as Lotus 1-2-3 and WWW/LX are, we all secretly know
that the real reason for palmtops is so you can play
Freecell on the move!) There is also a discussion group for
all other (less mobile!) games, if you feel so inclined.

You can get to the forum either from http://games.hplx.net,
or by going straight to http://www.delphi.com/lxgames. The
one slight caveat is that to reply or post a new message,
you need to sign yourself up. Fortunately, this is a very
quick and painless process - it had to be, or I wouldn't
have done it myself!

All the best,

Of course, we could just re-compile it on your palmtop.  I have
successfully used the Microsoft v5.0 Fortran compiler on my 200LX,
as well as an unusual, slightly non-standard one called Ellis Fortran.

No need to translate the code, but if you want to go that route, I
also successfully got a package called f2c to run on my palmtop years
back (no, I don't have a copy anymore).  This is a standard, and I
think free, utility that one can obtain and compile on your C compiler
(I was using MIX).  It then converts Fortran source into C source,
which you then compile.  The resulting C source isn't meant to be
legible - just functional.

I'm all for whatever works for anybody  8-)   But I will point out
(for folks who're thinking of using either program) that while XF may
be intended as a Win32-type interface, it's configurable as almost
anything you want.  There's at least one guy here on the list who runs
it as a Mac-like interface, while I use it like a combination of super
AppMgr, Filer, icon viewer, archive front end, and remote link
software.  It's been months since I've used either Filer or AppMgr.

Both XF and SMMx can be tricky to set up.  But at least for me XF
doesn't crash, and SMMx has locked up the palmtop requiring a hard
reboot every time I tried to set it up  8-(

Does anyone on the list have one for sale?  I noticed CDW has the chip

Subject:      Corrupt database
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

To my fellow LXers,

Since my experience may raise the hopes of someone facing a similar
problem, I'd like to use up a little bandwidth.

I have a database which contains (at present) 1,845 records. Each
record has a note field which *always* has text of varying length. In
the past, any troubles I've had with this database could be cured by
deleting the offending record. Such a record would usually have some
garbage characters in it. At worst I would have to resort to a recent
back-up (we all do backups, don't we?).

I have not had any such problems in quite a while but curiosity
compelled me to try Curtis Cameron's DBCHECK v1.5 program just to see
what would happen. The results were disastrous to say the least.
Curtis' program turned up literally *hundreds* of errors. I still
don't understand how there could be that many errors and I wouldn't be
aware of it. I even ran GARLIC on it and GARLIC threw up it's little
shoots and said *NO WAY, Too far gone to repair* or words to that
effect. I even deleted 1,840 records leaving only 5 and still DBCHECK
showed errors.

I thought converting the database to a CDF (comma delimited file), and
converting it back to a database would help but it made no difference.
I used the Connectivity Pack's XLATE utility to do this and I think I
did it right.

To make a long story shorter, I finally noticed that when I had the
database open, in the FILE menu there's an option called EXTRACT. When
you take that menu option you are presented with a dialog box called
*Extract Selected Items*. The box allows you to EXTRACT selected
records and put them into an entirely new database which has all the
parameters of the old database. After having selected all 5
(SHIFT+SPACE) of my experimental database records, I EXTRACTED them to
a database I named TEST in the dialog box. I then OPENed the TEST
database and found all 5 of the records apparently intact including
the notes fields. I ran DBCHECK on this new database and it came up
WITH NO ERRORS!

I restored my original 1,845 record database and EXTRACTed all 1,845
records into a new database called TEST2. I ran DBCHECK on TEST2 and
the output from DBCHECK was as follows:

1 db header, 1 card def
1 categories, 11 fields defined
2 view point defs, 2 view point tables
2 smart clips, 1 lookup tables
1845 data records, 1845 with notes
Found records: 3712     Garbage records: 0
Expected records: 3711     Deleted records: 0
No problems found with \_dat\TEST2.GDB

Note the last line. I don't understand everything the output is
telling me but I DO understand that last line.

I OPENed the TEST2 database and there were all 1,845 records,
including notes, intact.

So, if DBCHECK tells you that your database is horribly corrupted,
back up that precious, horribly corrupted database and try the EXTRACT
option. It might help.

Many thanks to Curtis for a program which gave me heart failure
when I first ran it.

I can't explain it, but you can get some insight into this by running
DBCHECK with the /d switch. It reports the size, location, and type of
each record in the file.

Nathalie,
    I took a quick scan of the organization list you supplied,
and 18 of the charities help BOTH men and women, and
two of them are specifically oriented toward "feminine"
issues (Planned Parenthood and.Ms Foundation for women).
The Leauge of Women Voters actually benefits all voters, male
and female.

Women get Aids, cancer, have their right violated. and develop
heart and luung problems (and that is the only the first five
charities) The same could be said for the rest of the list...

I (being a biased and pig-headed male ;) ) feel that the list
is a perfectly reasonable one and covers a wide-variety of
interests...

The new Gates Charitable Foundation is geared specifically
toward benefiting school age children (both boys and girls ;) ).
And is *extremely* well funded (endowed?)...

Axel,

If you want a fully configuarble, reliable and free currency converter macro,
have a look at CURCONV.ZIP on the SUPER site www.palmtop.net.

I use it every day with the free mailing update from XENON and I am very
satisfied with it. I may be a bit biased though as I am the author.

join the Hp cable.

Hi folks -

Re the discussion of opening DBs from icons & program managers etc.

There are several program manager/launchers for the 100/200LX.  Each
has its good features and drawbacks.

1> Built-in AppMgr:  Easy to use; documented in the LX manual.  Limited
to thirty-something apps including built-ins, and only 8 additional EXM
programs.  MoreEXM can be used to enable launch of many more EXMs from
hotkeys, but they won't have icons in AppMgr.  There are ways to get
around some of the limitations.  The Palmtop paper (May/June '99) has
an excellent article by Ed Keefe that explains how.  Can open
individual DBs from icons by using OPEN, KEYSTUFF, or DBL.

2> HDM:  A very nice GUI DOS program launcher.  Can handle about 200
programs.  Launches only DOS programs by itself, but if it's run under
the System Manager, it can also start EXMs with the addition of
RUN.EXE, and (maybe - I never tried it) open DBs with OPEN.

3> SMMx:  A GUI launcher for DOS programs and EXMs.  Can open other
folders for applications (ie a separate folder for games etc) and can
open DBs from icons.  I could never get this one to work, but other
folks use it and love it.

All of these three have an easy-to-use Add Application screens.

4> X-Finder:  The most powerful (and most work to configure) of the
group.  Can handle over 200 items in the /Palmtop (icon) screen.  These
can be EXMs, built-in apps, DOS progs, DBs, drive/directory paths for
the file manager, even remote drives/directories.  Can use sub-folders
for more applications etc.  Can replace AppMgr and Filer.  The XF file
manager can be used full or split-screen, with 2 list formats or an
icon display.  The XF file manager treats ZIP and LZH archives like
directories.  Highly configurable, but more work than the others.
Doesn't have an Add Application screen.  R.9 is available on SUPER
R.10 (on the Vector site) adds some very nice refinements, but has only
Japanese docs.


There are probably more launchers available...

Bill,
    Have you tried using tools like www.streetprices.com with a
part number (like for a kingston chip)? I have seen this piece
of RAM for as low as $150, but no lower. Also, you might be
able to find the part at eBay (search for omnibook and 800),
they seem to approach $140 or so.

    I would suggest going to Kingston, getting their part number
and buying it for as little as possible. Never had a problem with
Kingston RAM, has a lifetime guarantee, and is usually fairly
reasonable priced IMHO. I am always very concerned about not
being able to find proprietary RAM (since I buy last years tech.
to save money) - I make a habit of buying as much RAM as
possible before I can't find it... And I don't know how much longer
these pieces will be available (your opinion may differ)...

I would hate to see you stuck at 16 or 32 Meg RAM on your
laptop because you tried to save $20 or so...

HTH,

Ken

Cable pinouts for the 95 are the same as for the HP-48. The last I
looked the 200 cable was also, by removing the adapter, 48/95
compatible, or is this in Joe Horn's inimitable phrase "the Studly Nerd
thing"?

The pinouts are:

HP48 | RS232-9 | RS232-25
-----+---------+----------
  1  | shield  |  shield
  2  |    2    |    3
  3  |    3    |    2
  4  |    5    |    7
from the HP-48 FAQ (http://www.engr.uvic.ca/~aschoorl/faq/48faq.html) -
they're also, I believe, in the HP-48 docs, which I don't have at the
office.

Hi,

     Just for jollies I installed the Ryan-
McFarland FORTRAN 77 compiler on my 200LX.
(Lets see the WinCE people install a FORTRAN.)

RM/FORTRAN Compiler
Version 2.43
(c)Copyright Ryan-McFarland Corp 1984, 1987

     A similar compiler was earlier sold as
IBM Professional FORTRAN.

     Anyhow, it works, I've used it on a
Zenith Z-100 for a fair number of programs.
The Microsoft 5.1 works as well.

I had the experience of converting about 230 records from Schedule+ on my PC
to the LX last month. When I got them into the LX everything seemed fine,
but just to be sure, I decided to run DBCHECK on them and also found errors
reported, though all records open fine and look fine. I ended up deciding it
was better to trust my eyes than to worry about the results given by a
program.
One month on, the Phone records still open and look fine. Even two friends
of mine, who have a lot of experience and knowledge in systems, can't see
why the errors would be reported.

I'm the X-Finder user with the Mac-like GUI. It's largely just a matter of
plugging in the MacOS system icon set, which is available on SUPER. Also on
SUPER are plug-and-play icon sets to make X-Finder look more like Win9x, BeOS

About a year ago there was an interest on the list in looking for some of
the oldest LX's.  I remember sending my serial # to someone at the time.
(SG423 with bios ver 1.00A) I seem to remember that the info would be posted
somewhere, but I don't remember where.  Does anyone know if this is out
there somewhere.
The reason this came back to me, is because I recently got a 95LX off eBay
that seems to have an early serial # (ABA3127A0000#  - sounds like early
July of '91).
Thanks,
bob

It's probably someone that's going to try to sell them to us at a later

I think the most likely scenario is that he is buying it for his company.
There are a lot of companies that use the 200LX for vertical applications
and need a regular supply.

Greetings, Kazu -

I'd like to find out more about IP.  I've downloaded it from the
Vector site, and would like to try it.  Does it work without the JKIT
Japanese environment?  If it does what other files does it require?  I
saw a reference to FONTMAN, and downloaded that, but since I'm unable
to read the Japanese docs, haven't been able to proceed...

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

I have read somewhere that since HP was discontinuing the 200LX that some groups
of Japanese citizens have organized petitions to stop HP from discontinuing this
model and at the same time they are buying as many as they can afford to.

I have heard of one story of a Japanese individual buying as many as 10,
hopefully to last him the rest of his life.

Is it possible that the compression and error correction
protocols in DOS are different from those in Windows98? I
can establish very good connection from DOS, using WWW/LX
(to access Internet) and ComLink (to use my palmtop as an
external modem). I tried to do the same from Windows, using
Internet Explorer, without changing the modem strings. But
I keep getting Error 629 as a result.

In DialUp there is an Enable software compression option.
I tried to connect using this option and also without it,
but the result was the same. Is there some other option in
Windows that I didn't use? Since it works just fine in DOS,
I assume that modem init strings are OK. Or I am wrong?

I use 14400 PCMCIA modem, and the comunication speed
between the modem and my computer is set to 57600. I tried
to lower that speed all the way to 2400, but it didn't
work. Famous Error 629.

Dear readers,

Thanks for the previous answers regarding launching data-bases from the
system manager.

New question:

I have a double speed 32 meg machine running software carousel. I have
been very pleased with the "hardiness" of the added memory, and as several
others have testified, this memory usually retains data even after the
original memory fails due to low voltage.  For various reasons, including
the above, I have placed all my programs on the new drive (swapped to "C")
and left the original drive with only the necessary boot programs.

2 part question.  what programs benefit from expanded memory on the 200lx.
From what I see, pkzip/unzip benefit.  do any native applications benefit?
Is there an easy way to check (perhaps loading with and without and
checking mem utilization?)  Perhaps some notation on SUPER would be useful
to flag programs which do utilize upper memory. Assuming some practical
programs would benefit, for the setup I have described with a fallow "F"
drive, wouldn't it be advantageous to assign the 1.3 megs of original
drive to expanded memory? Is there a down side?

thanks,

Lionel Zuckier

I don't think this is a software problem.  I suspect you may
have some kind of loose connection in the keyboard and it gets
confused about which row of keys is which.

The keyboard is designed as a matrix of rows and columns.  The
intersection of each row and column is a key.  If the wiring
is faulty, then when the BIOS thinks it is scanning one row,
it is really scanning another.  So, it misinterprets your
keypress.

And this will fix itself periodially, not because of time, but
probably due to handling of the palmtop and shaking things
around a bit.

You should probably contact Tom Rundel in Germany
(www.rundel-d.com) to see if there is anything he could do to
fix it.

I'm looking for a replacement battery cover and port covers for my 95LX.

I've come across some old information that stated that EduCALC (now
gone) and Carrington (don't know about them) used to carry a free
replacement kit, though those leads have probably dried up by now.

I called HP and was given some numbers for some 3rd party vendors - none
of which carried any items that old.

I tried another HP number and was given a couple of 900 numbers to call,
but I just don't feel like paying upwards of $25.00 for information on
parts that may or may not be available for a machine that is nearly 9
years old.

Thanks,
Chris S.

Thus, if you see a person using their computer at a bizarre

a Dutch scheduler, a geologist, a doctor, a limo driver, or
(most curious of all) a race track... :-)

The 200LX and 95 have the same dimensions in battery cover. I have both and
they are interchangeable. The only difference is color. The 95 is a nice
shade of black where the 200 is a Cisco-like green.

Thaddeus will probably sell you a cover.

Hi All,

I should know the answer to this, and even tried searching the archives
before asking(!), but can't remember the facts about special characters.

I want to be able to "do" (create) special chars. in both LX apps. and DOS,
like the accented A, the N w/ a tilde ( ~ ) over it ... the letter is
pronounced, "en-ye" but I can't spell it (hence my failure in the archive
search!!).

Aren't there special ways to make these characters appear by holding down
the ALT or CTL keys on the LX **AND** aren't there different keys to use
(but the same numbers) for DOS and LX-apps?  What are the conversion rules
to convert a doc made in Memo to something that'll make it thru email?

How 'bout something I make in (ack!) MS Word, that I want to survive in DOS
and on email?

TIA for all and any help!

True. I've never liked the utilitarian icons that Microsoft built into Win32
and prefer using a number of Mac icons (espcially for folders). And for icon
viewing, X-Finder is tops.

X-Finder release 9 is pretty hard to configure but installation has definetly
been made easier in R10. Even without the improved install in R10, IMHO
X-Finder is the best non-game LX app out there (sorry Buddy ;-)

I had no intention of doing so, but owing to the large number of people not

Happily, the keys are the same for DOS and "LX-apps". However, you'll need to
dig up your manual for the table listing what numbers you need to key in. The
basic keystroke is Alt+Menu and the number of the character. I'm guessing
you're trying for Spanish characters here so there is help for you on the
accented "e": Fn+E. Individual DOS apps (like WordPerfect for example) may
have additional procedures to enter accented characters, too.

>(but the same numbers) for DOS and LX-apps?  What are the conversion rules
>to convert a doc made in Memo to something that'll make it thru email?

If you look in your manual in Appendix C-2, you'll see that the numbers for
most accented characters are the same, with some exceptions (again assuming
you're using a U.S. English LX).

Yep - I'll drink to that!  8->  R.10 not only has the easier install
with the provided batch file, but has a whole bunch of enhancements.
It'll be interesting to see the English docs when they're ready, just
to see how much I probably missed...

I just bought one and it is great for moving files between HP and my
desktop. But anyone know if I can use it for applications other then
Transfile or HP Connectivity kit?

Can I use it for printing on the desktop like interlink?

Thanks in advance.

Joseph Lee.

I was very surprised and impressed to se that a email sent to me was
automaticaly generating a out going delivery confirmation.

Is it possible to send emails from www/lx and get delivery confirmation
(if the reciever supports it that is).

I just moved all the messages out of the list.hplx group, so anybody using
News/LX should set the high-message number back to -50.  We'll see if this
helps the speed of getting messages...

At the moment there are no messages available on the list.hplx group at

Yes, I've seen

Microsoft Fortran 4.0                    5.25     MS          Good   40
Microsoft Fortran 4.1 Upgrade            5.25     MS          Good   40

The problem I always have is the payment. I'm currently in Germany.
The last time I made a "international money order" costed me an
additional 40 DM! How many are in Germany here on the list? Anybody
in Germany on the list has an good idea paying people in the states?

Seems to me a proper version for my HP200LX. Maybe you remember a simple
session compiling a program?

I've tried the bcf7713b.zip from simtelnet the second time. Here is some
logs:

940150886 K\"uche, I quit trying bcf7713b.zip: bcrtsy.exe
bcf.exe bcl.exe (bcf.exe does compile some f77 subroutines, but
I got "Kein code" when linking with bcl.exe, no executable file
was created. Running bcl.exe without loading TSR bcrtsy.exe
crashed the palmtop, bcf.exe requires MSDOS style CR/LF text)

940151259 K\"uche, rm a:bcf7713b.zip <*940064486

So, no luck ever sucessfully compile a single f77 program which I
easily compiled on Solaris simply with "f77 prog". The german "Kein
code" means "no code". I do not understand that either.

I hope it's ok discussing this on the list. I think that it is on-
topic though.

So, MS Fortran 5.1 or McFarland FORTRAN 77 are guaranteed to run
on our plamtop. And they compile "standard" f77 codes, right?

I have no idea what in standard they are involved (and f90).
Any idea? Prof. Schittke suggested f90 as the next to work
with.  But no one knows if they run on our palmtop so far.

How does it (McFarland) look like? Command-line interfaced or
integrated environment. I prefer a command-line version of it,
because there would be too much redundancy on my palmtop otherwise,
if every program includes his own editor.

I'm using tcc.exe of Turbo C 2.0 and wish to be able to link the
codes together. Any ideas?

I would be wonderful if I could do something like:

>f77 -c sub.for
>tcc main.c sub.obj
>./a.out

on my palmtop!

It's time for us to dig out some abandoned Fortran in the net and
put them to S.U.P.E.R.  Something similar to those abandoned by
Borland must exist ... HPLX is the richest palmtop, isn't it?

What hardware and ISP can i use with my 200lx in the NYC area?
(Ricochet wont work , ricochet only works in a very limited area of

I know that Bell Atlantic Mobile offers an unlimited connect service
for about $50/mo, any idea if i can hook up to it or some other

As you said..., I use Pocket Launcher v1.02 (by Tontata), it is easy to install
(should be installed with morexm).  The concept is simple, when you run the
program, it will show a menu in the form of scroll-list which can be designed
whatever we like. Then you can use arrow key to navigate.
I made my menu like following
 ---Work--------------
 A.Telephone of customer (pdb)
 1.Sales report (Lotus 123)
 etc
 --Hobby--------------
 B.Database of books (gdb)
 1.etc
 --Games-------------
 C.etc
 1.etc

The nice feature it has i.e.you use right arrow key to scroll forward to B), C)
and left arrow to scroll backward.  So it doesn't matter if your menu has a
very long list, in addition you normally remember the one that you use most fr
ex a1 in my case then only type a1.
As you can see, it can open lotus file, pdb, gdb, DOS, no problem.
Pocket Launcher can be downloaded from SUPER BTW.

Found a Lexmark Lexbook MB10 at a garage sale the other day.

Subnotebook size 10in x 8in x 2in, less than 2 pounds
This machine is similar in functionality to the HP LX series palmtops
Its slightly larger, and has 2 PCMCIA (type 2) slots instead of one,
as well as standard parallel & serial (AT size) ports in the back.

Researching the old newsgroup listings found that  the PCMCIA
slots will not read ATA cards without extra driver software.

Does anyone have that driver in their archives?

Thanks

I had a very bad crash last night.  When I finally got to the cntrl-shift on
step it never asked whether I wanted to reset the ram disk.  It simply asked
what year it was and what my name was.

I have some backups of my c drive that are stale and a fresh version of the
critical files.  So I should be OK.  But here is my problem.

This is a 32Meg machine with double speed bought from Thaddeus.  I only see
a 1.3 Meg C drive.  When looking at the initial configuration I I recall
seeing an F drive and a swap of the disk at that point it was beyond my
knowledge.  And of course I never backed up the stuff that was on the F:
drive.

Can anyone send details about how to restore this?  I need to get the right
drivers that are stored on this drive.

I had not had a major crash for many years and let my backup process suffer
as a result.  Maybe now I can write an article on how to backup & recover
from a major crash.  :-)

Also, I would check my files for documentation that came with the unit, but
alas I have a reference to all my paper files in InfoSelect.  Oh, no when
was the last time I backed that up.....<sigh>

I have environment variables and paths set during autoexec.bat, and a batch file

When I have a program called "bug.for", I compile/link it using:

and it creates bug.obj and bug.exe for me.

MS Fortran 5.1 came with a double precision-whetstone program source to measure
FORTRAN and CPU performance.  Let me know if you want to see it (10k source
file) to discern how "standard" it is.

Leland,
The latest drivers can be downloaded from: http://www.times2tech.com
Note: you will be asked for your Userid and Password - these were provided
with your original documents from Thaddeus (e-mail me off-line, if you can't
find these).

Files on (unswaped) c: drive:
config.sys
rdswap.exe (10/14/99 - swaps drives C: & F:)
rdt2t.exe (6/11/99 - driver for memory upgrade)
spd31.exe (8/13/98 - double speed driver)
spd31.sys (8/22/97 - double speed driver - required?)
spd31s.sys (3/23/98 - double speed driver - required?)

contents of config.sys :
files=50
buffers=20
lastdrive=g
device=c:\spd31.exe
device=c:\rdt2t.exe
device=c:\rdswap.exe

After you get these files on your original C: drive, reboot then you should
have access to your 32MB drive, which will now be the C: drive. Put your
autoexec.bat on this drive.

Dumb question...... <I know ... "...no such thing..." BUT>

I don't know how to install the dictionary that Thaddeus sells I think it's
the "Collins" dict.... don't have the disks in front of me....

I bought it a year ago <and lost the "how 2" instructions">.

I install the CD on my desktop and move the directory to my palmtop; try to
run it and get a "...only runs in Windows..." error.

Do I have to install from the DISKS that also came in the package? <i.e., is
there a dif. version on the disks?  I looked thru the CD for a "DOS Program"

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.

I don't have a 32mb LX myself (just 6mb/2x), but I had problems before with the
loss of the C: drive and all the associated drivers (including the dblspeed
driver, spd31.sys), which would render my LX unreadable.  Restoration was fairly
trivial, but difficulties were 1) not having the drivers on hand and 2) not
being able to read the screen well enough to get the job done.

I came up with a preventative procedure that may be applicable to you.

My flash card holds all the necessary drivers for a boot, even tho the usual
files are on C:

During the boot, if nothing is found on C: (as in a wipe-out of the internal
drive), the LX normally switches to A:, and at that point the start of the
a:\autoexec checks the C: drive and if a requisite file is missing, the good
stuff is copied to C: from A: and the system is rebooted.  This code requires a
mini-boot program "boot.com".

Sample code at the start of my a:\autoexec.bat

@echo off
if exist c:\utl\spd31.sys goto nxt1
md c:\utl
copy a:\utl\spd31.sys c:\utl
a:\utl\boot.com
:nxt1

The rest of the autoexec is normal.  The above sample could be expanded to
include other drivers and any utilities you need to complete the repair (like
maybe List or an editor program).

Would be nice if the upgraded palmtops included something like this as a
boot-failsafe.  Recovering from a lobotomy is never easy <g>.

I recently converted a .gdb file to a .txt file to read with PE. I
defined a smartclip, highlighted all the records (shift-space), and then
went to File/Print and printed the custom smartclip out to a file. If
I'm not mistaken, that outfile was a plain ascii text file. If you did
the same thing with your .ndb, you could probably move the outfile onto
your CE device and read it.

No guarentees!  : )

OK, I made it through the first scene.  I got the drivers installed in
config.sys and I swap the drives.

The C drive structure was there but I am finding it is very corrupted.
Common utilities hang the system, so the execution of the old autoexec had
lots of problems.  Checkdsk reports bunch of errors it can not correct.

I am assuming the disk is corrupted and should reformat it.  Should I
reformat it with the /s option?

Yep, I think Mack looked at that a few months ago, and they were
completely uncooperative and it couldn't be done.

I used their service on a 320LX for a few months.  It was pretty
unreliable.

Yes, reformat it, but no need to use the /s option, your system files are in
ROM.

In fact, I would be willing to bet that Mack isn't using their service on =

Great tip Tony.

Confirming you just add it at the beginning of your message body as I'v
done above?

Also can you explain how-to turn off prescan in NEWS/LX 2.3?

It is a header like To:, From:, Cc:, Bcc: etc
so - it has to be added as a header in the message template, not in the
body.

From memory I think there was a POST.CFG item named PreScan? So, if
you have PreScan=1, try PreScan=0.

Hello Leland,

To reformat it you will need to run the RDT2T driver from a DOS prompt.

You've put the windows executable on the LX.

I've got cole1.exe, a bunch of .cmp files, a cole.opt file and a bunch of
.txt files. I think that the .opt file has to exist beforehand. You have to
create an empty .opt file before it will run.

Don't have my instructions handy, let me know if you still have trouble.

Thanks Tony, I added PreScan=3D0 to the NEWS section of post.cfg and
that did the trick. Also thanks for the follow-up on adding to the
message template, it was pretty easy too. While at the Compose Reply
screen just hit Add, Header, <New Header> .

Boy! As it appears it been a long time since I'v used WWW/LX Plus and
for the hell of it in re-installed POST/LX 1.0. (:-)

Someone may have pointed this out but .....

It would probably help some folks to turn on their SEPARATOR message if
using WWW/lx which then shows the last message they read and the current
high message number.  They can see if the high number is lower than they
have "already" read, then they need to EDIT and set it back to the
newsgroup value or as you indicated, a negative number to retrieve the
last xx messages.

But maybe before you set the number back down, a warning in advance
would help, so that folks will know it is coming otherwise, they will
continue to get nothing until the high message number catches up with
their old count.

How do you set to POST/LX to filter the messages.

I signed up for the list as email, and in order  to not have my email
overwhelmed want to filter things:

I have set up under Filter

   Filter=HPLX

and have a folder set up as A:\www2\hplx where that is the path to the
folder I want all messages from the list put. WWW2 is the directory where I
have WWW\LX.

Will this do it?


Anything else to do?

Are your sure your hands are not sticky when using the keyboard?



You know, like, maybe during certain lab experiments.....B>

Seriously, though. It must be a short circuit on the motherboard. I have
heard of shorts like that. They can sometimes be very subtle and affected by
temperature as components expand and contract. I remember working on a
mainframe computer once that would not boot until we raised the temperature
in the room to 85F (30C) (luckily it was summer!). I've also heard of
machines that are never able to boot again after an extended shutdown. The
thermal stresses from cooling caused irreversible damage.

Fun stuff....

Hi Qman.

I'm sorry I'm not X-FINDER user.
So I don't know a lot about X-FINDER and FSEARCH.EXM.
And I don't know IP mentioned in X-FINDER.
IP I use, need JKIT or FONTMAN.
Please refer to another mail about IP that I sent.

The author of FSEARCH.EXM is ANTON(QZD2441@nifty.ne.jp).
FSEARCH.EXM is freeware.
He is the author of IP too.
I cannot find FSEARCH.EXM yet.

Hi Peniel.
I read the IP.DOC.
According to this documentation, IP needs JKIT or FONTMAN.
I'm a JKIT user, so I'm not sure about FONTMAN.
But following page may be helpful.

X-Finder R.10 is available from:
http://www.vector.co.jp/pack/dos/util/machine/hp/

The file is finder.lzh   You'll need LHA to extract it.

The docs, help file, and ENV file comments are in Japanese.  If you're
already familiar with R.9 and enjoy a challenge, then go for it.  If
you've never used XF, then grab R.9 from SUPER or wait to see when a
version of R.10 with translated docs is released.

emsps.com has "XtreePro Gold" available for $49.50.  I've used
XtreePro and XtreeGold, but have never heard of XtreePro Gold.  It
doesn't say what version it is.

I also just finished converting my NoteTaker files to use in my new HP 430.
I found a program from Ilium Software (www.iliumsoft.com) called ListPro.
It's a rather nice replacement for NoteTaker. I used Smartclip to get the
data out of the HP200LX.  The conversion wasn't painless -- ListPro uses
<tab> delineated files and chokes when it finds the <tab> character in a
field. I did some find&replace in Word to clean up the file before
importing.

I'd be happy to share ideas, experiences, and hints with other 200LX users
who are converting to WinCE. Email me OFFLIST!

This is yet another example of what XTreeGold can do very easily, and
with much more flexibility.  Just tag the files to search and search

Try
HPLX-L@=HPLX

Providing your HPLX folder is where your other POST/LX folders are this
should work - if you want it to be in a different directory just use
SETUP to specify the directory for your HPLX folder.

Good luck Ed!

In that case, substitute the IP address for news.hplx.net.  Just change it
to 207.168.238.47 and you shouldn't have THAT problem anymore.

Intuit used to make a product called Pocket Quicken Connect
(or something very similar) that would sync Pocket Quicken on
the palmtop to the newer versions of Quicken on the desktop.
This was needed because a few versions ago, Intuit changed the
file formats for the desktop Quicken product and so the HP
CPACK could no longer do the job.

I don't know if PQC is still being sold.  I fear not.  :-(

Something is seriously broken with the file.  When I try to extract the
contents using two different unzip utilities, I get bad CRC errors, it
appears to have two copies of DBCHECK.EXE and one of DBCHECK.PAS.  Or else I
get reports of blank filenames.

I also found that this file is bad.  In X-Finder, opening the ZIP

Error correction protocols and compression protocols are
hardware only, and implemented on the modems ONLY, not in DOS
and not in Win98.

This enable compression simply sends a command string to the
modem, nothing is done in Win98 or DOS itself.

I still think you need to talk to your ISP to find out from
them what sort of modems they have on their side. Looking into
DOS or windows is looking in the wrong direction.

English (short version):

List of participants, date 10/20/99, 5.00 pm

Saturday 23rd, October 1999 3.00 pm our traditional international hp =
handheld
meeting will take place.

Unfortunately there is no alternative, due to the fact that the 23rd of
October is the only weekend when I will be at  Munich.

hp200lx and networking:

I intend to demonstrate a palmtop network with:

   - MS fileserver, protocol NETBEUI
   - FTP Server, protocol TCP/IP
   - Clients: MS DOS, WWW/LX, LXTCP, CUTCP

Roger Law offers:

I can bring a 5-port mini hub to connect to your 'LAN' and demonstrate
LanWatch if you wish.

(LanWatch is the protoclol analyser by FTP Software
Inc, taken over by Precision Guesswork, who sell it on its own
and bundled with a 200LX as 'PocketWatch'!!).

I would also like to show others what can be done with cat 5 cable, 6
way modular plugs and sockets, araldite putty and rubber sleeves for a
modular serial cabling system for the LX.

     Just tried McFarland FORTRAN 77 on 200LX.  Full load
is 811 kb (both 8087 and emulator libraries and sample code).
You could possibly shave 280 - 310 kb off that. Conforms to
FORTRAN 77 code.
     MS 5.1 works nicely on the Z-100 (8086 non-PC MS-DOS
machine).  So it should work (and others have said it does).

     "(c)Copyright Ryan-McFarland Corp 1984, 1987"
Command line only!  I access through a batch file to compile
and link (can't remember the switches required).  Separate
batch files for normal/debug compiles.  I use the WordPerfect
text editor.

     Actually it does come with RM/Forte Project management
system and editor that I totally forgot about.

     "RM/FORTRAN provides support for calling routines
written in in Microspft C Version 4.0." ... "RM/FORTRAN
routines can invoke C functions and C functions can invoke
FORTRAN integer functions, but an RM/FORTRAN main program
unit must be part of the program structure." ...

I'm curious... do the maps work on the 200LX as well?  Probably wouldn't

The DOS version of the New World Translation works
well on the LX. There is a TSR (verse.exe) to include
a verse in a Text editor (e.g. you input "ps 91 14 Alt-Enter"
to let it write Psalms 91:14 to the current cursor
position). I used verses.exe only with WP51 until now.
Don't know about the other LX editors (Memo, PE etc.).

The maps work on the LX and look like they were created with Grabber.

Subject:      Maps and graphics

Does anyone have optimal specs for scanning maps and graphics
into the LX so they look good and text readable?
I get either too big (files), bad res, or unreadable text.

<g>

Me too. In the humungus CIA file there are a coupla hundred world
maps that look good on the LX, but can be improved with more info.
but they're an excellent start.

(I think I'd better keep the above information in this post for
the other).

Thanks Steve,

So, I'm purchasing either of them, whatever is available in Germany.
But where in Germany? Anyone in Germany has an idea?

BTW. I've just seen a "-ansi" option of the Solaris f77. So, there
is an ANSI-standard for the F77-implementations to follow.

My autoexec entries:

     Rem Setup for Fortran
     set path=%PATH%;a:\app\f77
     set LIB=a:\app\f77\
     set INCLUDE=a:\app\f77\

and f77.bat is just a one-liner:

     fl /AM %1


fl.exe is the main compiler.

/AM says to use medium model (default is large otherwise)

f77 could have been implemented as a doskey "alias".  I'll confess I don't use
f77 much on the LX ... mostly a sentimental thing having used it for CAD for 17
years, in addition to supporting engineers and COBOL programmers too busy to
write quick and dirty utilities.

Very neat.  How do they compare to the maps that come with PC Globe, or
have you seen those?

I've been meaning for a long time to do a 200LX atlas program, but I fear
my programming skills have declined to the point where I would be unable
to do so.  Jim Gasbarro was nice enough to send me the source to World
Travel a while back as a starting point.  It would be nice to enhance it,
maybe combining its atlas-functionality with LXMap and LXGPS or something.

Another good method, though much more difficult, is to disassemble the
parts of the keyboard having trouble and clean out under the keys with
alcohol.

I use the translation at http://vhlprayer.com/bible.htm.  It's free and all
in HTML: suitable for viewing with HV on the Ptop.

I'd like to find a good index for the Bible for those time when I say to
myself, "Now where is that from?"  Lately I find that I need silicon-based
memory aids to supplement the old, built-in, carbon-based memory. I still
prefer a printed copy of the Bible. I tried highlighting verses on the Ptop
like I do on paper. What a mess<g>.

In the Setup application (Control-Filer), International settings (F7)
you can define the code page that is used in DOS (i.e. the character
table for the international characters). In a Portuguese palmtop I have
it setup for code page 850.

The accented characters are produced by pressing on the accented
character (~ =3D Fn-I, =B4 =3D Fn-R, ` =3D Fn-T) followed by the vowel.

The only problem is when you want to transfer the text files written in
the LX to a Windows machine, that uses the newer standard ISO-Latin-1:
all you accented characters are replaced by something else.

For this purpose I wrote two small utilities: win2lx and lx2win
(available in super.hplx.net). win2lx converts a text file written in
Windows (e.g. in Notepad or Word) to the code page 850 of the LX, and
lx2win converts in the oposite direction.

Actually, I've been trying for two years now to find somebody to program
an add-on to Views that would allow highlighting, notes, etc. in
compressed texts.  And one of the texts available for Views is the KJV
Bible.  Alas, I haven't succeeded yet...

Subject:      HPLX to Outlook Question
Content-Type: text

I've started using the excellent Outlook to HPLX conversion program
by Curtis Cameron.  I've noticed something unusual in the transfer
process, and thought someone could explain it.

First, I'm using Outlook only as an intermediate step in converting
data from the HP to my REX.  That said, I upload data files from my
palmtop to the desktop.  Then run Curtis' program, which I have set
to transfer data from the HPLX format into Outlook.  I also have the
box checked which says "Modify existing contacts w/same name".

When I do this, I always seem to get completely duplicated entries
in Outlook.  The solution is easy - I go into Outlook and delete all
entries first.  But it would be nice if the button did what I expected
it to do.  I'm guessing that it's operator error, since I've never
used Outlook before this.

The translation from Outlook to REX is easy with the provided
software that came with the REX.

One further matter - when I convert my calendar entries into Outlook

Is this normal?  Is there something I could do to minimize/eliminate

When the "modify existing" box is checked, it tries to find each
contact by matching the very first LX field to either Outlook's "File
As" name or the "FullName" name. I've noticed some quirkiness here,
and I think Outlook's automation features are a little flaky. But you
might want to check that the first field out of your LX data file is
the name. When you remap the fields, they are reported in the order
that they come out of the LX file. Also, if you're mapping the LX name
field to some other Outlook field besides one of the two above, it
could explain this behavior.

I'll check into this. I haven't seen it myself.

I had a very similar problem, and Thaddeus fixed it--it's the
keyboard.  My problem was also similar to Nathalie's, in that
it was intermittent, but the intermissions gradually became
shorter over a few months, until I was forced to get it fixed.
So the SOLUTION is to send it to Thaddeus.  Make a backup first.

Well, I don't know if your palmtop is mad at you for some
reason ... <grin>

I would still bet that you have a loose connection in the
keyboard electronics.  Loose connections can be quite odd in
their behavior because of those things you mentioned or just
move when you press the keys.

Online Bible v6.22 for DOS has a very strong search routine, can search text
and Strong's numbers mixed together with exclusions. Personal note files can
also be compressed with DIET which Online Bible uses as an options. Personal
notes would have to be compressed manually.

I also have Thompson Chain Topics, The New Topical Textbook and Scofield's
Notes index in my setup.

Hope this might be a help.

Here is a question posted at Yahoo's HP200LX club. Any suggestion?

   I have 200LX and plan to use the database software on a PC via the
   connectivity pak. All seems to work well, except that it is very
   frustrating to have to "type in" date entries. The 200LX has a two key
   sequence (fn,date) to insert current date.
   The connectivity pak user's guide shows very limited matching key
   sequences 200LX/PC i.e., menu=alt, fn,zoom=ctrl + spacebar, etc. Is
   there a key seqence or shortcut for inserting the current date in the
   HP 200LX Database application running on a PC? Even though my 200LX is
   double speed it runs very sloooooooooooooow on the palmtop compared to
   the PC. Please help. Thanks.

Scott, I had the same problem on my Omnibook 800CT, at least with the Simple
Technology ATA flash cards (40mb or 16mb).

Other ATA flash cards were recognized immediately as a Sandisk or some other
type, but the ST required setting up another hard-disk controller driver and
correcting some interrupt conflicts.... a major nuisance.  So even tho I got
them to work, I replaced them at the earliest opportunity (when 48mb Sandisk CF
became cheap).  The STs that were such a headache on the OB800/Win95 were a
non-issue on the 200LX....worked fine out of the box.

When the ST card was inserted in the OB800, it registered that a card was
inserted, but then didn't know what it was.

Your problem may be specific to your card type... which one is it?

Has anyone used these batteries on their 200LX? I saw some Sony
2200 mAh and Aiwa 2000 mAh batteries today. Didn't even know
they existed.

How does one do to get the alarm to go sound  even if one is in MaxDos?

This is a part of my autoexec:

playex -l just angs my HP.

There is also the option of adding

I found this in the docs for News 2.3.

" QScanMsgID=3D0 0/1      Normaly News/LX saves the index-number
                         of a message to the headers when
                         requesting quickscan (XOVER request)
                         information from the server. If you
                         want the MsgIDs instead, then set this
                         to 1. On servers that tend to renumber
                         messages often, this makes reading
                         messages possible anyway."

This could be an option if there is a problem with the numbering of
messages at news.hplx. (have not tried it myself)



In this doc there were these references, but the refering chapters did
not exist. Any info available? I could not find this doc on dasoft
anymore:

"Expanded Filtering options. Please read the chapter entitled
"Filters"

Added compact-mode. Please read the chapter "Compact Mode"."

I was trying to get a remote connection to a PC runing HP conectivity

I have entered the PC's phone number in Filers remote setting.
I call the remote PC via a pcmcia modem in the hp. The remote PC
answers and You hear the negotiating going on. ( I have tried with
datacomm and that worked OK. There was a connection with win95 hyper
terminal).
There is a brief flash on the remote PC, but its so fast I can not read
it. And on the hp the message that tells me to wait for a connection
disapears

Anybody tried this, and can give me a hint?

I have set 2400bps and server enabled.

I am glad to say that the new www/lx works OK.

Thanks!

Could someone explain what this mean? What happends tecnicaly, when =
timeout is reduced? And when does a "TCP retry" appear?

(from the www/lx newfeat.htm)
* Reduced timeout for ethernet so that the "pauses" that sometimes
appeared should be reduced.

* The time before the first TCP retry happens is reduced from 4 to
2 seconds and now settable using RetryTime=3Dn in the corresponding
setup section.

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

I'm trying to create an application in LXBatch (great program, Rob!) and
would like to produce a list with elements selected from a listselect.
The ultimate goal is something like:

  NC/AT, PERRLA, EOMI, Fundi wnl, TM's clear, mild nasal mucus, MMM, no
lesions.

so I would like to have a list (using LXB MENU) to produce a screen menu
like:
        NC/AT
        Alopecia
        AFOSF
        PERRLA
        RR
        EOMI
        TM's clear
        Cerumen impacted
        Nose clear
        ...

I would like to have an elegant way to produce the LXB MENU command so
that selected items do not appear on the list when it is presented again
so that I can just hit Enter on the top of the list for rapid entry
until my string is completed.

Thanks!

I have read somewhere about problems with the space button. Now I have
the problem myself.

The button still works but makes a bad noise when I push it and it is a
bit loose.

Can I "hurt" it more by using it? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

If it's really broken, you can use Super Glue (cyanoacrylate) to re-attach
it.

Check out the Palmtop Adventure page
http://www.hplx.net/hardware.apa.big.htmlto by David Sargeant see how to
disassemble enough to get at it.

Mitch (but feel free to post this to the LX listserv, since my address has
changed since I signed up):

You may be wondering why I've been absent from the palmtop list (and even
from your website) lately. The answer is I had to make a transition and I
offer an explantion.

Despite the superb tools available (through SUPER), I found that I really
needed a handheld device that I could sync with my laptop for
phone/notes/calendar/etc.  In addition, the size of the 200LX became an
important consideration. Oh, sure, I used my holster with great joy, but
often received fearful looks from folks (not good, when you're a doctor).
Besides, the holster was falling apart (and the company that made it,
Opus63, was out of business).  Other carrying devices were not low profile
enough for me.  Although I'm proud to be a geek, some that I have to deal
with were put off by it.

I was given a Palm V and have been using it for the last 2 months.  That,
combined with my laptop, gives me what I need in a small package.  It took
me most of that time to locate the tools I needed to make it compete
favorably with my 200LX (html browser, database, programmable calculator,
picture viewers, etc.).  On my 32 MB double-speeded 200 LX, I had absolutely
everything I could ever want (thanks to SUPER and the wonderful LX user
community) and it really turned me on to the benefits of palm computing.

I still look at my 200LX, in it's nifty SmartDock docking station on my
desk.  I turn it on now and again and marvel at it's superb engineering, so
ahead of its time and so powerful (still way more powerful than my first
PC).  I don't quite know what to do with it and all the toys and books I
have for it, but that's another issue.

I am writing (as one of the very early members of the LX mailing list) to
thank you (the founder of the orginal LX mailing list), for all the work
you've done (and continue to do) for the LX community.  You're the best.

I also want to say that the 200LX user community is the absolutely best
bunch of folks I have ever dealt with.  The help, support, and creativity
that this group possesses is heartwarming.

I welcome your comments (not flames, please) to mailto:dsands@cyberdude.com.

I wish you and the group all the best.

If it's really broken, you can use Super Glue (cyanoacrylate) to re-attach
it.

Check out the Palmtop Adventure page
http://www.hplx.net/hardware.apa.big.htmlto by David Sargeant see how to
disassemble enough to get at it.

Subject:      EMM240 and DOSSHELL
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Does anyone have experience with EMM240 (from SUPER) and DOSSHELL
together in the Palmtop? Does it speed up task switching?

The reason I am asking is the following paragraph in the emm240
documentation:

   8. EMM240 & SysMgr

        Since EMM240.EXE uses the same address as SysMgr's ROM pages,
        SysMgr applications(like 1-2-3) cannot use the EMS through
        EMM240 (requests from these programs will be rejected.)
        This version of EMM240 can safely coexist with SysMgr's task
        switching, since it will save/restore the page frame mapping
        table at the switching.

I wonder if the task swapping of DOSSHELL will interfere with the
saving/restoring of the page frame mapping table of EMM240.

Thanks in advance,
Paulo Custodio

I have been using Sony NIMH batteries now for 18 months..  I seem to recall
they were 1800 Mah.  No markings on the battery.  Green in colour.

I got mine in Taiwan for about USD3.00 each.

I am happy with the permormance and longevity.  work well

The ng is a read only copy of the list.  The ng server is subscribed to
the list so it can receive updates.  It can only RECEIVE from the list
server, not from anyone else (including you).  All updates to the list
must go as email to the list server where they will also be sent to the
ng server so you can see them there.

Jeff,

The right margin in a perfectly valid margin.  It requires no more
justification that any other margin.  Are you trying to damage the right
margin's self esteem?

Subject:      Nettamer/200LX question
MIME-version: 1.0

Well, after wrestling with other email combinations, I've finally settled on
Nettamer as my palmtop/desktop option of choice.  With Nettamer I can easily
read and compose my email on the palmtop.  Transferring my replies is simply
a matter of uploading a few files back to the desktop and sending them via
my desktop copy of Nettammer.

One question has arisen when using Nettamer and Buddy.  Since Nettamer
shells to DOS when it uses the editor for writing email, Buddy no longer
works at that point.  Indeed, when I restart SysMan after using Nettamer in
this state, I can't even use the Menu Terminate Application option without
the 200LX giving me a "Please Enable Buddy" option.  Any suggestions on
coordinating Buddy with Nettamer would be greatly appreciated.

I just bought a used doublespeed 32MB upgraded unit.  When the unit arrived,

Also, can someone tell me what needs to be in the config.sys and autoexec.bat

Wow, I just found them on the Sandisk website for $299!

Maybe I'll go ahead and buy it for 240 . . .

Oops, didn't check stock. Most places with a reasonable price have it on
backorder. If you can't wait, 240 may not be too bad.

Man, isn't that a bit high for a used palmtop?  Unless it has a large
memory upgrade, which you'd think he might have mentioned...

Clearly the `preferred' way is to go from a `standalone' GPS via a
Serial Cable into a 200Lx. This obviates the need to supply any
power from the LX to the GPS circuitry.

I believe that GPS-Serial solutions using the 200Lx are trivial, while
using a `PCMCIA GPS' seems to me to have no real advantage.

Of course, the standalone GPS is also useful without the 200, which
in most cases is a very substantial advantage. PCMCIA cards are _only_
useful, of course, with the computer that has the slot...

I also faced a ploblem like scott and , solved it.

My problem is, simple tech 160M FlashATA formated by HP200LX can't was recognized
from my lilnux BOX. As you know there are some way of dos format and LX make 12 bit
DOS format. This is the source of my problem. I reformat it in 16 bit DOS format,
then it could be recognized from any other machine include linux BOX.

Sysmgr and EMM240 both use features of the HP200LX which are SPECIFIC to the
HP200LX. as they both use the same feature (which is the mapping of the
chip memory into a "RAM" disk), the Sysmgr applications cannot take advantage
of the expanded memory provided by EMM240. However they do not clash. Using
EMM240, TREMxxx, or any of the other expanded memory managers does not
prevent you using Sysmgr.

Dosshell on the other hand is blissfully unaware that it is running on a
palmtop with these features, so it should have no problem taking advantage
of expanded memory.

On the other hand I have never used Dosshell on my palmtop.

My thoughts exactly.  Now that "prolink" is finished his/her buying spree
the eBay prices have returned to a normal of about $225-$250.

The one exception to this rule is the REX organizer.  In fact, as far
as the 200LX is concerned, it is only useful *outside* of it's slot!

Hi friends,

Today I had the chance to try a friend's Siemens S25.
I configured WWW/LX to port=-1, speed=38400 (double speed palmtop) and
told the fried to enable everything regarding IrDA and Data
communication.
But when I tried to connect to my ISP (my university), I get the
following sequence of errors:

Connetcting (ISP using PPP with PAP or CHAP)...
Talking with "SIEMENS S25"...
IrDA connection failed
Connection failed.
Exiting WWW/LX


Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong there?
I tried to connect with several distances between the phone and the
palmtop, but it doesn't work.

I can't imagine, that the reason is only a bad connection to the
cellular provider, because the phone didn't seem to dial at all (but I
can be wrong, because I don't know at all how the phone should
behave...).

FYI: My friend's using the S25 with a Telekom D1 card.

Oh, Martin,

I've experienced that myself. Probably one of the hinge of the space bar is broken.
That was my first unit (with a broken screen now due to a free-fall to the
ground). I've glued that space bar by opening the keyboard "layout". Any it worked
again before the the screen was broken.

I remember having read a file describing how one should open it before I dared
open it. But I don't know which one that is and where to get it.

Does anyone else know where the file is?  I've heard that Thadeus does a
great job fixing anything ... too.

A little off-topic, but a number of people here might know the answer.
I bought an Omnibook 300 on Ebay, which boots fine, but is Globally password
protected. Can't get past that screen. Called the person it "belonged"
o( they're the manager for a company, and the laptop belonged to an
employee, not them themselves) but the password is unknown. Taking out the
batteries overnight did nothing.
Does anyone know a way to bypass this, without having to spend $$ with HP ??
I can provide proof of ownership/transaction details etc. if necessary.

Item Subject: cc:Mail Text
     Most modern GPS have a standard output stream conforming to NMEA 0182
     (v. 2.0+ is best).

     I do not know of a lot of software for use with the NMEA standard on
     the HP palmtops, but that is what I would look for.  I assume you are
     looking for a hand-held unit to go with your 200LX.  I don't think you
     can go wrong with a Garmin GPS 12, GPSII/II+ or if you really want to
     kick down some coin, the GPSIII+ (comes with street maps and all sorts
     of stuff).

     If you can find some map software for the 100/200 (I've not looked,
     but I would be surprised if it does not exist), it should be able to
     read the NMEA 0183 output from most any GPS, and give you mapping (or
     possibly moving-map) capabilities.

     Hope that helps out a little bit.

Item Subject: cc:Mail Text
     I'm in the process of developing a tool to read the serial port of an
     HP100LX.

     Does anyone know of where I can get a reliable (does not need to be
     high-speed) serial library for C?  I've seen some for $70.00.  This
     project won't be worth it if it costs me more than $20.00 (I would
     prefer public domain libs) to get such a library.

     Yeah, I'm too lazy to write the code to issue and read interrupts, but
     if it means saving $70.00 I'll do it.. :/

     Reply to listserve, or e-mail me direct at:  david@marlinmedia.com

     Thanks!

I would recomment this reference text:

Campbell, J., "C Programmers Guide to Serial Communications",
Howard W. Sams, & Co., 1987

There is even an accompanying floppy disk that includes all the libraries
he develops over the course of the book.  Of course, you can just type it
in yourself, as well.  He starts with simple drivers, and builds to more
complex/robust ones at the end.

I've never used his libraries, but rather just used his book as a guide
to write some quick and dirty routines as needed.  This is an *excellent*
book on serial communications.  I've been tinkering with serial stuff
for almost 20 years, and I still learned some good things reading this
book.  Highly recommended.

I think I had a hard time finding this book - maybe I had to get my local
bookstore to order it for me.  And finding the floppy disk was awkward,
too, if I remember correctly (it was a couple of years back).  Good luck.

David,

I've found it again. I've just been searching for the library I've once
successfully applied in talking to serial devices (both to the motors
of a pan-tilt-unit and two SONY cameras mounnted on it) from my HP200LX.
Of course it is no problem controlling a huge robot via seral communication.

It is interrupt-driven.

PS. Please let me know if yo uwant me to send you (or any LX'er)
the source codes of my application called "hexcomm" applying the
ibmcom_c.zip mentioned in the my previous post.  It's programmed
to be used quite universally applicable. I'm appending a simple
session (on UNIX because I'm mailing on UNIX) of the program
to give an idea:

--------------------------------------------------
chen:~/lib/test/g/t/0/fort>hexcomm
HEXCOMM Vers 1.74, Nan-shan Chen, C960906

Type sequence of data bytes in hexa separated by spaces
and they will be sent to currently selected serial port.
Commands: BYE, HELP, STAT, SET, TAKE, LOAD, SAVE, DEFINE
    WAIT, OPEN, CLOSE, BREAK, ">n", "!" are defined
Use "MAC" or "MAC <name>" to search macros-names in memory
Use "APROPOS <string>" to grep a string in macro-def-file

Port #-1> open 1 /dev/ttya
default port=#1, fd=3, device="/dev/ttya"
Port #1> ff 0a 3c "ascii string"
Sending: FF 0A 3C 61 73 63 69 69 20 73 74 72 69 6E 67 (15)
Port #1> quit
chen:~/lib/test/g/t/0/fort>
--------------------------------------------------

You do not see a response from the serial port after "Sending:"
because there is currently no device connected to it.

But this is an UNIX version of it (not applying ibmcom_c.zip)
which is not identical to the DOS/HPLX-version. Beside controling
a stereo-camera-head, I've used it to test my DC20 digital camera
connected to my palmtop.

e.g. You can just type under the "HEXCOMM" prompt

        77 00 00 00 00 00 00 1A

to tell the DC20 to take a picture.

Our palmtop seems to be the only one in the world on which one
can just grab a free ANSI C compiler and free codes to quickly
achieve something! Not? :)

Hello,
I am interested in your program and source of "hexcomm".  I am interested
in programming the serial port and would like to see how you implement it.

Thank you,

I'll have to carefully look for it, because there are two versions of
the program. Serial programming on UNIX is a quite different discipline
... If I cannot find it on my UNIX-$HOME.  I'll mail it to you next time
I come back here. Please wait.

I would like a copy of your "hexcomm" application, please.
I have been struggling to interface my HP200LX via the serial port to a
data acquisition system (which accepts serial commands then sends back
some bytes).

Thanks for offering,

Hi,

I've used the wrong version again, while I wanted to reply
(I'm using elm) Robert H. Pigford on the list. Sorry for
repeating the message, Robert.

I'm cutting and pasting the mail:

Yes, it's a real hassle ... I don't even remember how I did it.

I've just sent John a UNIX-version of it. It's quite a mess in my
directories. I think I'd better go home and look at them carefully,
because it's quite a while ago since I last saw them. And there are
differnet versions and files allover ... :(

I'll send you the DOS-version (don't remember if I have used HPLX-specific
features. I believe not.) next time I come back to the workstation.

But I'm cutting and pasting a note here which is general and important
for whomever has received my codes:

***************************************************************
Please note that there is NOTHING to learn from my coding style.
I'm NO C-expert! And there may be very bad codes! Most probably!
Actually I'm almost sure that there are some irresponsible codes
embedded in it. I always wanted to come back to it and clean it up,
but that never happened ... :(

Hi All Interested,

I have written a standard DOS program for my own use on the HP.  It is a moving map
GPS program.  I have posted notice about its existance but I don't think there is any
one but myself using it.  I find it quite nice for my own personal use.  More information
is at:

http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hangar/9412/

Email me a note if you find it interesting or useful.  I am still working on the program
occassionally but only for my own enjoyment.  I'll be glad to make it more useful for
others if there is any interest.

Sincerely,
Alfred

p.s. I have heard about LXGPS and others but haven't look into them.

Item Subject: cc:Mail Text
     Most modern GPS have a standard output stream conforming to NMEA 0182
     (v. 2.0+ is best).

     I do not know of a lot of software for use with the NMEA standard on
     the HP palmtops, but that is what I would look for.  I assume you are
     looking for a hand-held unit to go with your 200LX.  I don't think you
     can go wrong with a Garmin GPS 12, GPSII/II+ or if you really want to
     kick down some coin, the GPSIII+ (comes with street maps and all sorts
     of stuff).

     If you can find some map software for the 100/200 (I've not looked,
     but I would be surprised if it does not exist), it should be able to
     read the NMEA 0183 output from most any GPS, and give you mapping (or
     possibly moving-map) capabilities.

     Hope that helps out a little bit.

Yes.  There is a later edition of this book, probably published in
1993 or 1994, much fatter and which gives the same excellent treatment
to the 16550 that the earlier edition did to the 8250 and Z80SIO.  I'd
recommend the later edition, as it may be easier to find and PCMCIA
modems tend to look like 16550s.

Has anyone had any success with RAM cards for the 95LX that are larger
than 2MB?

If so, what were the manufacturers, were drivers readily available and
are these cards still obtainable?

Thanks,

I like your page (of a DSP-guy :) albeit I don't have a GPS yet and
have not tried out anything.  The ADSP-2181 EZ-KIT & your program
EZSCOP10.ZIP especially interest me.

With stereo 16-bit A/D & D/A up to 48 KHz, our palmtop could possibly learn
to hear, to speak and to sing; and with eprom on board. And to see? Sorry,
I have not read through the page carefully yet.

My TMS320 (sp?) evaluation kit (that version without floating point)
on the other hand could hardly do anyting useful.

I've been looking for a text-to-speech possibility for my HP200LX beside
the program "tran.exe" at simtel in the directory msdos/voice/.
Do you have a solution?  Have anybody else thought of teaching HPLX to
speak?

The program tran.exe uses PC-speaker to output ascii-text-to-speech-sound.
It also outputs the signal to parallel port optionally with better quality
if there is a D/A connected to the parallel port. (I've soldered a passive
one myslef.) And it reads the time for you too.

After all, it is insufficient for our palmtop to read texts for us.

I've book-marked your page. Thanks for telling us about that.

PS. I really think that a palmtop would only become "complete" when
    there is a GPS-device built-in it.  For me, it's even more
    essential for a palmtop, as a stand-alone data-aquisition unit,
    than a built-in tele-communication device. What are the technical
    difficulties to build a GPS into a palmtop like ours?

    Hope to see the next generation of HPLX equipped with GPS.
    (Yes, I'm aware it is discontinued.) A palmtop with automatic
    timezone setting. Isn't that important since a palmtop moves?

List of participants, date 10/23/99, 8.00 am

Saturday 23rd, October 1999 3.00 pm our traditional international hp =
handheld
meeting will take place.

Unfortunately there is no alternative, due to the fact that the 23rd of
October is the only weekend when I will be at  Munich.

hp200lx and networking:

I intend to demonstrate a palmtop network with:

   - MS fileserver, protocol NETBEUI

   - Clients: MS DOS, WWW/LX, LXTCP, CUTCP

Roger Law offers:

I can bring a 5-port mini hub to connect to your 'LAN' and demonstrate
LanWatch if you wish.

(LanWatch is the protoclol analyser by FTP Software
Inc, taken over by Precision Guesswork, who sell it on its own
and bundled with a 200LX as 'PocketWatch'!!).

I would also like to show others what can be done with cat 5 cable, 6
way modular plugs and sockets, araldite putty and rubber sleeves for a
modular serial cabling system for the LX.

FITNESS TIP:  BODY COMPOSITION- BODY MASS INDEX

One of the accepted approaches to weight assessment is a technique
developed by the National Center for Health Statistics called body
mass index (BMI). To find your BMI, follow these steps:

Step 1. Divide your weight in pounds (without shoes or clothing) by
2.2. This will give you your weight in kilograms. Answer to Step 1 is
___________.

Step 2. Divide your height in inches (without shoes) by 39.4 and then
square the result. This will convert your height to meters squared.
Answer to Step 2 is ___________.

Step 3. Divide your weight in kilograms by your height in meters
squared (answer to Step 1 divided by answer to Step 2). This is your
BMI.

In general, a BMI range of 20 to 24 is considered normal. The
desirable range for females is 21 to 23; for males, it is 22 to 24.
BMI values above 27.8 for men and 27.3 for women have been associated
with increased health problems, including high blood pressure and
diabetes. The American Dietetic Association has classified people
having BMIs greater than 30 as obese and those having BMIs greater
than 40 as morbidly obese and in need of prompt medical attention.

I thought some folks might be interested in this formula.  If you have any
really useful SOLVER FORMULAS you'd like to pass on to the group I'd be
interested it seeing a few.

Enjoy,

Wow, I must have been lucky.  I picked up several 200s at, in order,
(roughly) $200, $175, and $150 respectively this past Spring.  I'm still
trying for that elusive $125 unit, but so far no luck!  8)

Get a copy of VirtualPC, Softwindows, or RealPC and install the
Connectivity Kit DOS software to run under emulation. Works well to
transfer files and translate the data files to comma-delimited.

I also tried a S25 some time ago.. It worked after some work on the
www.exe file by Andreas. Andreas told me to use speed=19200 and he also
supplied me with a new modified www.exe. This www.exe file is avilible
on www.dasoft.com now

This is exactly what I got. According to Andreas the S25 is "slow" to
answer on requests from the www/lx program. He therefor modified the
www.exe file to make it work.

I had not much time to test the S25 vs 200lx, but it worked 2-3 times
with the new www.exe before I had to return the phone..

When I sent the first log file while testing, Andreas told me to put
the S25 in a "correct" distance.. But it was because of S25 is "slow"

When the "slow" problem was solved I got the phone to call my isp.

If you already got the latest version of www.exe I do not know what the
problem can be.. I did not have the time to test the s25 as much as I
wanted, but it should work.

Sms is another story. The S25 does not support "Textmode" sms which
www/lx/Robot/lx use.. Therefor no sms via Post/lx

That specific wand, I've no idea.

Bar code reading wands in general, oh yes. When you have a big inventory job,
they play a big role in reducing the manpower costs.

So for instance, you have a company that has just grown big enough that
they've started having to actually keep track of, oh say for example, the
computers they buy (been there, done that). So a few people end up spending a
few weeks going around (this was a very small company, only a couple hundred
people) accumulating data, either on printed forms or on a spreadsheet on a
laptop or whatever, describing every last machine, who's using it, it's
configuration, what cost center it belongs to, when it was bought, whatever
else is needed to tie this in with the invoice from when it was purchased,
etc. Now if they haven't ever done this before, they might not include
barcodes in the formula. A year later they will have to repeat the entire
chore, and all the work from the last pass will be tossed out.

If on the other hand you've been around this thing and seen the excruciating
pain of having to throw out the weeks of work every time you re-check the
inventory, you learn that you need to be slapping bar codes onto every box as
you inventory it the first go around, and next time you come around you swipe
the reader and can just hit "yup" if nothing has changed.

And after that has been done a few times, you realize that you need to get
your tools, database, barcodes, etc. into Receiving and into the Maintenance
group, so that all new machines are entered into the system as they are
acquired, and as configuration, location, cost center, etc. change for
existing machines the database gets updated to follow them. At that point the
barcode readers are being used by the maintenance people, and you rarely have
to do any more full walkaround inventories.

Does any one of the brainiacs (term borrowed from Avi, all rights reserved to him)
where may I find a freeware on how to use your LX as a TDD (not TTY) ?
Note: TTY uses the "normal" ASCII settings

I'm interested to know whether there are any MBAs on this
list? Please reply direct to my email at maartens@iafrica.com.

I believe the HP Palmtop is the most powerful assistant any
MBA student, MBA academic or business owner/manager/consultant could =
have.
This year, God willing, I will complete my MBA. My concern,
however, is that much of the knowledge will not be at my
fingertips in the HP Palmtop when I need it. How much more
effective would I be, and I'm sure many others, if we had a mini encyclope=
adia of
MBA knowledge in our HP Palmtops?

My proposal is that all MBAs and others interested in MBA related
subjects share their summaries, databases, formulas,
notes etc. by posting the relevant files on the www.palmtop.net
database repository. With enough support palmtop.net might make a
seperate section for this.

I am happy to co-ordinate the effort. Please complete the one minute =

below to indicate your interest.

You might want to search the internet for such a program.  I was hunting
for an internet-to-TDD link a year ago, and found all sorts of interesting
sites along the way (never found what I was looking for, however).  But
I think there were some programs like you are looking for, however.

I found the following in my notes- all from the mailing list- some info may
not be up to date
HTH

Etienne

Can you use a mouse with the LX??  If so, can you use it with the standard
apps?
- There's no real complication with using a mouse on the HPLX.  Just use
your HP-seriel cable, and plug your seriel mouse into that.  Then run any
old MOUSE.COM driver
- There is nothing magical about how a mouse hooks into a PC - it is just a
device connected to a serial port and it has a software driver to make it
work.  So, yes, the 200Lx can connect to a mouse. The internal applications
were not written to use a mouse in any way, so even though you connect a
mouse and installed the driver, the built in apps would not care at all.
But if there was some other program you wanted to run on the palmtop that
did know how to use a mouse, then it would work fine.  But you will have to
make sure that the serial port's power is turned on and set to a wired
connection before loading the mouse driver. The only other recommendation
that I have is to load mouse.com on your HP get a null modem adapter and

< For a long time I've been using the cable I made myself (according to the

perfectly. But, when I wanted to connect a mouse, I made a null-modem

    But I had to move the mouse across the whole table in order to move the
cursor even a little bit. (I used amouse and gmouse.) What could cause such
a problem? Is it the driver, or the type of the mouse, or the scheme, or my
port, or the length of the cable? I tried to do a self-test of the com-port
(ESC+ON), but unsuccessfuly, because, I think, some of the pins on the port
should be connected, but I don't know which. I opened a few types of the
mouse: some of them used 6 pins, some of them used 4 (No.2,3,5,7); some of
them had 2 buttons, some of them had 3. Can I use every one of them or just
the particular ones?
Since this is the only computer I've got, I don't know anything about the
mouse and the stuff like that. I'm
asking you what model of the mouse and of the driver I need..
< the Genius EasyMouse+ actually works.
-Has anyone used the Easy Cat serial touchpad with an HP 200LX?  Seems to
me one would need the mouse driver and a proper serial-to-HP 200LX serial
connector.  Is such a connector available commercially, or would one have
to home brew it?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-Yep.. several of us use the Easy Cat with the palmtop.  You can get the
serial cable from the Connectivity Pack.  You also need to use a null-modem
adapter, since most of the serial cables for the palmtop are already
null-modem cables.  All the necessary hardware is included in the
Connectivity Pack, though you can probably buy it cheaper for your purposes
from Thaddeus (www.palmtoppaper.com) or maybe Shier Systems
(www.shier.com).
A word of warning: my first Easy Cat wouldn't work well on my double-speed
palmtop; it would only move vertically, and the mouse buttons would click
all the time.  It worked fine on my single-speed units, and also on the
desktop.  A new Easy Cat worked fine on all three.
< regarding the NOMOUSE driver.  I haven't tried this in ACAD yet, but
mostly I am very satisfied with the built-in ACAD keyboard support.  I did
try it when running some Win3.0 apps recently, and found similarly that in
all but one case, I liked the built-in Windows keyboard handler.  The one
exception was Word for Windows, but alas the NOMOUSE driver didn't work at
all in that program!
< I have a thumbelina mouse which works fine from the sys mgr with (for
example) visual basic.  However if I load the driver (felmouse.com from
fellows ... maker of the thumbelina) from a software carousel session it
says that it can't find the mouse.  I have looked at the SC help and
various
DOS sources but can't identify how I get the mouse driver to "see" the
mouse while in an SC session.
- Most likely the COM port is turned off under straight DOS mode.  Get
LXPRO or LXSTAT from SUPER.  LXPro is a TSR you can use to turn on the COM
port power, set the speed, etc.  LXSTAT is a command-line utility that can
control lots of things about the palmtop.  To turn on the serial port
power, you'd type "LXSTAT s w".

I guess my original post was rejected because too long.. So here you have
the first half of part 1.part 2 made it to the list.



I found the following in my notes- all from the mailing list
HTH

Etienne

Can you use a mouse with the LX??  If so, can you use it with the standard
apps?
- There's no real complication with using a mouse on the HPLX.  Just use
your HP-seriel cable, and plug your seriel mouse into that.  Then run any
old MOUSE.COM driver
- There is nothing magical about how a mouse hooks into a PC - it is just a
device connected to a serial port and it has a software driver to make it
work.  So, yes, the 200Lx can connect to a mouse. The internal applications
were not written to use a mouse in any way, so even though you connect a
mouse and installed the driver, the built in apps would not care at all.
But if there was some other program you wanted to run on the palmtop that
did know how to use a mouse, then it would work fine.  But you will have to
make sure that the serial port's power is turned on and set to a wired
connection before loading the mouse driver. The only other recommendation
that I have is to load mouse.com on your HP get a null modem adapter and
gender changer and use a serial mouse.
- I have used thinpads with trackpoints for years without a problem. They
are actually one of the least problematic devices on a laptop. Toshiba
invented their own version but I have never liked the sensitivity range on
theirs but that is a driver issue more than anything else. The only real
complaint I have seen about trackpoints and their brethren is drifting and

Do any of the readers have comments regarding using max-dos in conjunction
with software carousel?  Would it be compatible?  It would be nice to be
able to open a maximum size dos "window" even with other applications
running in the same SC session, ie to run word perfect while phone-book
and appointment book are open. Would the optimal place to run maxdos be in
the local SC-session batch file?  what would happen if loaded before sc
carousel?  could it be opened from different sessions?  concurrently?


Thanks,

Hi gang -

Steve and anyone else looking for a EXM outliner...

IP (suggested by KAZU) is a very cool combination notetaker/outliner
from Japanese programmer ANTON.  It's available at:

        http://www.vector.co.jp/pack/dos/util/machine/hp/

Not suprisingly, the docs are in Japanese.  Don't let that stop you
from trying it out.  I can't speak or read the language either.
Thanks to info from KAZU, I got the necessary fonts & font manager.

You'll need both Japanese and ASCII font sets to use IP.  Visit this
URL for information on using Japanese fonts:

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

It has instructions for installing FONTMAN as a device driver in
config.sys and links to get both FONTMAN and the AKAGI fonts.  You
won't need the display driver DSP14A to use IP.  Another difference
from the description is that FONTMAN.INI should include 2 Akagi fonts.
Like this:

fontx2
c:\font\akagi11k.fnt
c:\font\akagi11a.fnt

Use those fonts, and change the path to whereever you put 'em.  Yes,
you will need the Japanese font even if you don't read the language.
IP won't run unless both fonts are loaded.

Once you have the fonts, and have modified config.sys, you can install
IP in AppMgr, X-Finder, SMMx or whatever program launcher you use.
Move ip.ini to c:\_dat

You should now be able to start up IP and open IPD files or create your
own.  If you want some helpful tips, I have an English language IPD
file that can be opened in IP.


Later -

Peniel

I once borrowed a special TDD modem and connected it to my old PC-XT and
got it to work calling a deaf friend.  The modem is the hardest part;
it's much slower and it is simplex if I remember correctly, not duplex.

I think I was just using Qmodem as the terminal software but the modem
might have been doing code translation so the ASCII pc could work ok.

I don't think you're going to find a software only solution to turning
an LX into a TDD terminal.

cheers... Russ

"Registration of DOS program to the Application Manager (More
   Application screen) should be modifies as follows=2E"

          Path: a:\bin\maxdos=2Ecom CommandLine|

so, in my case i would insert?:

        Path: c:\maxdos=2Ecom c:\_dat_pkunzip=2Eexe

does command line mean the exe file?

after all this, how would i launch progs with maxdos memory?

Hi,

I will be stopping over in Hong Kong in the course of next week and I have been
told it was a good place to purchase electronic goods. As I will have very
little time there, I want to go directly to the best locations. Does someone
on the list have recommended shopping places for Palmtop related stuff like
flash cards, digital cameras, pcmcia modems, etc... in Hong Kong.

Thanks,

This only happens if you exit SysMgr with Menu-A-T (Terminate all).
Not sure why it's necessary to remove maxdos then, though.

In Path line of the AppMgr Add Application screen.  Don't type in
"Path:" - just the rest of the line.

>

Sort of... but pkunzip without a file name won't do much...  Again
don't insert "Path:" though.

> does command line mean the exe file?

Yes - well, the path\name of the executable.

> after all this, how would i launch progs with maxdos memory?

With a line like you have above in the Add Application screen,
selecting the app in the icon screen will start it with max memory.
If you have programs that need lots of memory installed in AppMgr,
insert the maxdos line before the program path.

What else you can do is to create an entry in the Add Application
screen for just maxdos.  ie

Name:    Max &DOS
Path:    c:\maxdos.com|
Comment: =BF
Icon:    Your choice...

After adding this, move it to a position before the DOS icon (or move
the DOS icon to last position).  Then when you hit "D" in AppMgr,
you'll get a DOS prompt with max memory.

Hi Nathalie.

Sunday must be a good day for med students to catch up on their email.

>i am just a bit hesitant in doing this:
>   maxdos -l          <-- add this line to load maxdos
>   200

>why do i want it to remove it after it has been loaded?

The "200" command is what starts the LX menu screens (aka AppMgr or SysMgr).  I
think the intent of the above is that maxdos is loaded so that its services are
available to applications within AppMgr (ie, setting up an icon to run with lots
of memory).

Maxdos is removed after 200 terminates just for tidiness....apparently the
author wanted a way to exit all applications (including AppMgr) and come back to
a "clean" DOS (sans Maxdos).

On my system, I don't remove maxdos... I just have

     maxdos -l
     200

or something roughly like that.

>        Path: a:\bin\maxdos.com CommandLine|
>so, in my case i would insert?:
>        Path: c:\maxdos.com c:\_dat_pkunzip.exe
>does command line mean the exe file?

A program, using Maxdos, is launched from the icon as described above, but
Pkunzip is a special case because it requires an argument on the command line.

Suppose you wanted an icon to always pkunzip a file called abc.zip.  Your "Path"
line would look like this:

     Path: c:\maxdos.com c:\_dat\pkunzip.exe c:\abc.zip

Notice the correction to your c:\_dat\.

This icon would always pkunzip the same c:\abc.zip file.  Obviously this is
somewhat limited in usefulness.

>after all this, how would i launch progs with maxdos memory?

Pkunzip is not a good candidate for running from an icon, but your setup above
is roughly how programs are launched using Maxdos.  Some programs will work
better than others.  There are other ways to run pkunzip that may be more
flexible.  For example, if you're comfortable running it from a DOS command
line, setup a Maxdos icon to give you a big DOS session and then run pkunzip....
then type "exit" to return to AppMgr.  I see from my new email that Peniel has
given more details on how to do this.

Other things are also possible... all good things come to those who are patient.

Also Helmuth does not have it.

So, can anybody help me in getting Gottfried Burckhardt's eMail adr?

Hi Yves

I have found that it is best to go into say 10 shops and compare prices.  I
have shopped in one place one time and another was better price next time.
Hong Kong works like a massive distribution centre.  ie Best prices are
usually if the store does NOT carry the item on the shelf.  It is usually
10-15 mins delivery from the wholesaler.

Somewhere along the golden Mile shopping area in one of the side
street/lanes you will find the best deals..  ie main street = higher prices
generally.

Any specific questions please email me direct

Regards

Russell

PS  I bought my 2 LX's and flash card in HK as well as serial cable.

Hello LXers,


With HP discontinuing the 200LX (an incredible mistake!), I am in an emergency
to buy a new palmtop for backup.

So, does anyone know of a store or Internet reseller that would still carry it,
and would be willing to ship it oversea? I checked for the best prices on
pricewatch.com, but the cheapest retailers (Buycomp.com and Egghead) do not
ship oversea and are back-ordered anyway (I would prefer not to buy from an
upgrade reseller, as I would not resist the urge to put all my money in a 96MB
upgrade immediately, even though I don't need it now with my 64MB working
well!).

Thanks in advance,

There are 2 sets of special characters. One set can be made with Fn-{key} and the other with Alt-Menu-{number}. I keep 2 small txt files, one for each, that I access when I need a special character. If
anyone wants a copy of these files, e-mail me.

Subject:      LXTeX 2e update soon available! More ideas please!
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Hi friends,

soon there will be an update of LXTeX2e (version 1.0 --> 1.1)!
So please don't download the current version if you plan to install it
soon but wait for the next (much better) version! ;-)

For those who already installed LXTeX2e and configured it properly,
I'll place an update.zip file on my home page that only contains
changed and added files and a description how to update the current
version.

Here's the list with the changes I made by now. If you have further
ideas, please let me know them  -  maybe I can realize a few of them.

------------ schnibbel ---------------
Following changes were made from LXTeX2e 1.0 to LXTeX2e 1.1:

Much changes were made to make LXTeX2e more international!

- new READMEs, please read them!

- English readme now contains all important informations (no need to
  read the German readme any more)

- template file 'text.neu' renamed to 'text.new' and moved to new
  location: \EMTEX\TEMPLATE\.

- template file 'text.new' adapted for English texts with options for
  German texts (uncomment some lines for German features)

- new LXTEX.BAT file (the everything controlling menu batch file):
  - You can now work with documents in other directories than the MYTEX
    directory (e.g. in C:\_DAT\LXTEX), so you can manage your documents
    in subdirectories: Simply change into the dir of your choice with
    the DOS 'cd' command and type LXTEX <filename>.
  - no need anymore to edit the LXTEX.BAT file - there's a new file
    TEXEDIT.BAT which contains the call of the text editor.
  - better and more powerful menu
  - (error) messages all in English
  - comments in batch file all in English
  - new environment variable 'docstat' (=document status) is used:
    it allows to take control over the status of the document and to
    prevent some handling errors - see readme!

- new PR.BAT (printer driver calling batch file): All messages changed
  to English

- Directory \EMTEX\MYTEX\ removed. You can now work in every other
  directory (see above) and the template file now is in \EMTEX\TEMPLATE\.

- new programs in directory EMTEX\BIN\UTILITY:
  - CHOICE.COM added (needed for batch files but not included in
    palmtop's DOS)
  - TEXBEEP.EXE: little program that make a beep, called from batch
    files for acoustic signaling of questions or errors

- some EXE files in EMTEX\BIN are made smaller with a utility called
  'TINYPROG'. e.g. TEXCAD.EXE's size is reduced by approx. 50%. No other
  program version, just reduced file size. Please report if there are
  any problems using the size-reduced EXEs! (TEXCAD.EXE, DVIDOT.EXE,
  UTILITY\SETIT.EXE)

This is probably a bit conservative.  In my experience, you can safely
hot-swap most flash cards, unless your batteries are almost dead.  I've
had IBM flash cards designed for the 200LX that even specifically say:
"In the 100LX you can't hot swap these cards, but in the 200LX you can."
I realize that this isn't official HP advice, but since this is probably
more of a practical matter than anything else (i.e. the person is asking
if it's okay to do it, not if HP condones it) then I have to say yeah,
they can be hot-swapped with impunity, and I've never had a problem from
hot insertion or removal of flash cards.  Modems and network cards,
though, will be bad news, possibly (even probably) rebooting the palmtop.
For more info, see the Power Systems faq at http://www.hplx.net/faq.html.

Subject:      We've got the DosPPP source code !!!
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Steven Lawson hunted down a contact who was able to hunt down Toni
Lopez, and Toni has put the source code to version 0.6 of DosPPP onto
his web page.  As we thought, he was always wishing to release the
source code, but had temporarily disappeared from the Internet for
various personal reasons, and is not able to continue supporting
DosPPP by himself.

So we finally have a fully open-source internet solution:

Package:                Source Code:
-------                 -----------
LXCIC                   Yes
LXEN2216                Yes
EPPPD                   Yes
LXTCP                   Yes
Goin Postal             No, but commercially supported by Steven Lawson
WWW/LX                  No, but commercially supported by D&A Software

What this means to the HPLX community is that even if Steven and D&A
leave the community (which neither of them has any stated intention of
doing so any time soon) those people who intend to use the HPLX for
years to come will have source code to internet applications which can
be modified as the internet changes (i.e. modified to support IPv6
after IPv4 is phased out in ten years time maybe).

The only problem is that I'm currently moving house, so I don't have
time to look into DosPPP immediately (other than to verify that we can
recompile it on the palmtop).  But it does mean that an MS-CHAP
solution for DosPPP is suddenly less daunting (and able to be worked
upon by a number of interested individuals).

Name:    Max &DOS
Path:    c:\maxdos.com|
Comment: =BF
and moved it to a position before the DOS icon

? what does "BF" do?
? do i still need alter my autoexec.bat to insert  "maxdos -l"  before the
200 in the autoexec? (and maxdos -r)?

I am comfortable running pkunzip from a DOS command line: i setup a Maxdos
icon to give me big DOS session and then run pkunzip using macros i made
under quicklx

i'll wait for your answer before running the first session

You can use it to answer any kind of question that has a set answer.

In the example Bennett gave the answer you are getting is 'item 12345' which is then cross-checked against a database.

They are also used in TV listings to set some VCRs, where the info on the barcode is channel, date, time, duration kind of stuff.

But as you can print your own, they can mean anything and some can contain a lot of data.  I'd guess that any wand for the HP did not read the latest and greatest 2-D barcodes, but something more basic with more limited data 'storage'.

If you can think of something that makes you type in the same guff time after time, you can barcode it.  You could even use it for standard phrases in a wordprocessor, and use autocorrect to turn a code into a slab of text.  So instead of writing to Santa, you go 'swipe' -> "Dear Santa", 'swipe' -> "Thank you for your recent enquiry that is receiving our prompt attention", 'swipe' -> "Please can I have a 96Mb upgrade for Xmas" etc.

Just don't barcode the kids, you are expected to remember their names. ;-)

Here is the formula I set up to claculate Body Mass Index

 BMI=3D(Wtlb/2.2)/((((HtFt*12+HtIn)*2.54)/100)2)

It lets you put in your hight in feet and inches (ie 5ft 9in), then it =

to inches, then centimeters, then meters before doing the actual calculati=
on.

Oops - I think we have a mix-uo from mime-encoding of my message.  The

Yes.  You definitely need the install line before the "200".  Like
Longden said, the removal line may not matter.   Hope you get this

You don't do this with post.adr  --  You need a separate file listing

text file to morse output.  Something with the source available would be

Off topic - Has anyone found a good, freeware utility for text-to-speech?
 Obviously not for the 200lx but something that can read my email to me

I would say that the advantage is having 8.3k more free memory
available after exiting systemmanager.

Check out Simtel in the amateur radio section. Seems that I have seen
several there. Also, Super Morse will do this for you and send it to the =
com
port so you can send it via radio or modem. I believe most of the commerci=
al
teaching programs will also convert it for you.

An interesting Morse sidenote, how many of you have seen the AAMCO
transmission commercials on TV? Their slogan is "Double A (beep beep) C =
O".
The 'beep beep' is Morse for the letter M :) It's amazing where Morse is
used and unless you know the code, you'll never realize what was said.

Go to:

http://pm1.contactor.se/~daniel/links/Pctim003.txt

and search on Morse. Section 8.5 gives you a sample morse code program in C
that looks like it will run on the HP200. The code is presented in the
context of demonstrating the use of timers on the PC.

It just gives you more flexibilty. Without this feature, you'd have to
reboot to remove it.

          Path: a:\bin\maxdos.com CommandLine|

so, in my case i would insert?:

        Path: c:\maxdos.com c:\_dat_pkunzip.exe

does command line mean the exe file?

Yes, or you can just run maxdos.exe and get a 'more memory' command prompt.
snip

What maxdos basically does is mark a place in memory when you first run it.
You can then load more TSR's and system manager after that. When you run
maxdos again it will go to that 'spot' in memory again and all programs that
you loaded after the initial maxdos load will be swapped out. It literally
copies all the memory below it to a temporary disk file, and frees up the
memory for program use. When you exit maxdos it replaces the contents of
that memory with the temp file and exits. The end result is that you can run
maxdos from a system manager DOS window and get more memory for program
execution. The caveat is that system manager and all programs you loaded
after the inital maxdos load are temporarily disabled. This means that
appointment alarms won't work while maxdos is loaded the second time.

I always boot to DOS and run 200 from a batch file which loads
MaxDos before and removes it after (the sequence suggested to
Nathalie).  The remove command keeps me from getting the error
message about MaxDos already being loaded every subsequent time
I run the batch file.

I'd be interested in this as well.

I get good connects and transfers to my Win95 notebook, but my NT desktop
usually fails on large files (> 100k) using TF200, even at 9600 baud (normally I
connect them at 19200).

I usually circumvent the problem by transferring the large files via
Hyperterminal/Datacomm and zmodem protocol.  This has worked ok for me only cuz
I don't have that many big files to transfer, and not very often.

Can anyone assist?
When using Transfile win 200 my one PC works 100% while the other one causes
problems. With my palmtop in server mode the PC "sees" the palmtop and a
connection is established. Small files seem to transfer fine but when I want to
start transferring a larger file, say 276920, transfile Win 200 only copies it
up to 28672 bytes and then says "No connection to the HP Palmtop". After I press
OK the connection is still live. I have checked the connection settings and
tried it with two different cables but the problem remains.
What can it be?  Any suggestions?

MIME-Version: 1.0

How depressing...

I recently decided to upgrade from my 2mb 100LX, so I bought a used
2mb 200LX and sent it into Thaddeus for an upgrade to 8mb+DS.  I've
been using it for about a month, but as of friday the Accton Ethernet
card is sometimes failing to initialize.  I'm using LXCIC, and when
it's in this mode LXCIC prints junk in the middle of the card description.
Powering on/off or hard reset won't make the card work.  I have to pop
the card out and in to get it to see it.  Once it sees it, it works
all the time while it's in the slot, even if I wiggle the card while
it's active.

My 100LX still works great with the card.  This sucks, about $360 into
this machine and now it looks like another $125/$175 + shipping to get it
repaired. Ugh.  I guess I need to decide whether to get it fixed, or
assume it was a bad decision, sell it as-is, go back to my 100LX, and put
the money toward a new laptop...

Well, just had to vent..

Hmmm... the Accton Card I have (actually borrowed from a kind and dear
friend) works fine in my DS unit. If it is the LX, I bet that Thaddeus =

repair it under warranty <fingers crossed>.

IIRC the OB 300-425 don't use the same locking that the 600-800 do.
They store the password on the HDD in the hidden file OBMGM.DAT. If you
can get the drive to mount on another computer, just delete that file
and you should be OK (it'll be re-created without the password
automagically). Or you could replace the HDD with a flash or CF card &
get the increased battery life as a bonus.

While this thread is still active, someone posted a question a
few days back about is there anyway for a system manager alarm
to still work while in an application launched from system manager,
using maxdos.  For example, I launch Post/LX from within system
manager using maxdos, so that if I need to compose a message, I
can use PE from within Post/LX.

If I don't use maxdos, I don't have enough memory to launch PE
from within system manager.  The problem I have is if my
appointment book has any alarms set, I won't get the alarm until
after I exit Post/LX, which sometimes causes me to miss a
meeting a work.

I have tried the alarm program that is on S.U.P.E.R. and to use
it exit system manager, and launch Post/LX from a DOS prompt,
but I didn't care for the way that program notified me of an
alarm, by flashing the screen, because sometimes I am not
looking at the screen, plus I like being able to launch Post/LX
from system manager, rather than from a DOS prompt.

Any ideas?  Has anyone found a work around for this?  Thanks in
advance.

I also have an unwanted password in my OB300 - it is set to be required "never" and the
only time it has given be trouble is when I tried to replace the 40 meg drive with a
10meg flash card - it is supposed to transfer some files to the flash when it recognizes
that it is a new drive, but the password window pops up and it will not proceed.  So I
think the password is stored somewhere besides on the hard drive.

I would like to use a flash card and be able to use rechargeable AA NICAD or NIMH if I
would get decent life between charges.

I was just curious as to what you load in your batchfile when restarting 200?

I don't run Software Carousel, and have just a few (well... 9) TSRs, all of
which are loaded during boot, to give me a max memory of 598k.

I always boot to DOS and run 200 from a batch file which loads
MaxDos before and removes it after (the sequence suggested to
Nathalie).  The remove command keeps me from getting the error
message about MaxDos already being loaded every subsequent time
I run the batch file.

I think the "=BF" was just an email artifact.  What Peniel probably said (and
was mangled by the email server) was that the Comment field should have a single
inverted question mark (entered by pressing the blue 'Fn' and '3' keys).  This
prevents the system from prompting you with "Press any key to exit from DOS...."
when you're finished with your DOS session.

     GPS receivers need to have an antenna that can 'see' the satellites,
     and it needs to remain close to vertical.  This would (in my opinion)
     drastically limit the real-world usability of the palmtop.  Imagine
     having to hold it horizontal and near a window all the time.  Also,
     electronics for this would make the palmtop itself nearly twice it's
     current size (based on the smallest hand-held units I have seen).

     You would probably need to have an external antenna mounted somewhere,
     thus negating the possible benefits of the built-in GPS.

     The GPS units that I have seen require the timezone to be reset any
     time it has been off, and moved more than 500 miles.  Once again, sort
     of negating the benefits.  These things do not use a 'standard' UNIX
     type TZ setting, it's a raw timezone offset.

     I do feel that the LX and any NMEA compliant GPS are prefect
     companions.  Having them as separate units makes each one much more
     usable individually.

     That's my .02 - YMMV

Perhaps we can aquire the source code from the author or convince him/her to
allow for changes in the alarm procedure. AFAIK, there's no other programs
that can trigger alarms when system manager is not active.

Worked on mine, but I don't remember whether it was a 300 or 425 at the
time (upgraded). You may need to have the file cleared in the original
drive for this to work. Have you tried clearing OBMGM.DAT (OBMGM.???,
anyway) from the HDD & letting it get re-created w/o password. I assume
you did a cold reset of the OB300 when changing cards.

LXTeX 2e is an adaption of LaTeX 2e for the palmtop.
Have a look at daniel.hplx.net and go to the software section of the

I use MaxDOS with Software Carousel, and haven't noticed any compatibility
problems. I load SC in my autoexec.bat file, I also have several batch,
start-up files, (which SC loads). I load MaxDOS in the batch file which
starts the System Manager. When I want a maximum size DOS shell, I just
switch to it using SC. I only use MaxDOS to run large DOS programs from
icons in the System Manager, (with MoreEXM and SMMLX). My setup is
relatively complex, and I pay a price with frequent hard reboots. I suspect
that MoreEXM and/or SMMLX have some bugs, but I love them to much to abandon
them.

I did this before coming up with the tip in this reply..(with a little
help from the list) I wanted to use pe when I run Sysmgr in the
background..

I have this command line in the sysmgr:

post.exe |288

This gives me just enough memory to launch post and also run maxdos
when I want to reply to messages..(I think you have to assign 288 kb of
memory because of the special maxdos setup below)

Let me explain:

I usually have Filer closed when Sysmgr is running. Before I launch
Post/lx I have 409 kb free. When in Post/lx I can switch to Sysmgr and
run one or two applications. Any alarms goes of as usually..

Then the tip:

When I want to reply to a mail/newsmessage I have this line in the
post setup:

maxdos.com pe.exe

(actually I run the peh.bat file which then launches PE).

Then I can reply to the message and exit..

The alarm/sysmgr will of course not work when I am in PE. I have to
remember to quit Pe/"send" the message before the alarms work again.

This setup works. It is a bit slow when I start Pe, but I swap to a
flashcard on a singlespeed..but acceptable speed..

As long as I remember to finish/exit Pe before "moving on" then Alarms
work..Nice to be able to read messages and also start Phonebook or any
other applications too..and still be able to reply..

Hope this was helpfull..

Since HP is discontinuing the 200 does that make the connectivity

All our browsers are defective. They all run the words 'A' and 'Lot'

Not to mention inserting lots of exclamation marks in the subject and

Al, isn't there a rule about not posting the same advertisement

Hi friends,

Now the new version of LXTeX 2e, version 1.1, is finally available!
Go onto my palmtop page at
http://daniel.hplx.net
into the Software section.

There you can download LXTeX 2e 1.1.

If you want to update from version 1.0:

I recommend that you download the whole new package and install it
(delete the old one before installing the new one!).
You can use the old font files and put them into the new FONTS
directory, so they don't have to be recreated.
Also don't forget to backup the MYTEX directory!

Maybe I'll soon make an UPDATE.ZIP available that contains all changed
and added files and a description how to update manually, but it's not
sure that I'll make this.

On my website, you can also have a look at the 'history.txt' file to
see what improvements the new version has.

Please let me know your experiences! I'm always interested!

GTX

Hi.
I've had this happen to me before.  While I never figured out the cause,
the solution was to do the transfer with the palmtop plugged into the AC
adapter.  It is probably worth a try...

Good luck.

Thank you, Andreas, for this work!
I've decided to buy the S25. Maybe next week I also can go online 'on
the road'... 8-)

Does that mean, the SMS has only to be encoded for the S25?
It should be ease to do this, if someone knows the algorhythm for this
encoding.

Hmm... my Delorme Tripmate (now the Earthmate or something)
doesn't seem to have to have a vertical antenna in order to lock
on to satellites.  (Of course, it doesn't do it very well, either.
 <g>)  Couldn't you just run the antenna up into the display module of the
palmtop along one side or in the back or something?  That way, when the
palmtop was on, the antenna would be pretty vertical.

They're talking about programs that will let us network our 200LX, and
with the increasing number of programs we can get source code for, our
talented programmers can modify the programs to be even more handy on the
200LX.  For example, now that we have the source code to DosPPP, which is
a PPP driver for DOS that allows you to dial in from your palmtop and
establish a serial link with your Internet provider, it will be possible
to implement new login "standards" like MS-CHAP, whereas if the source was
not available, somebody would have to come up with a complete replacement
for DosPPP.  Ergo, the fact that Rod's network of investigators finally
tracked down the source code to DosPPP is a good thing, or else we might
be left behind, as more and more Internet providers "upgrade" their
software to try and make it so that only people running Windows can log in
properly.

Menu/Format/Right Margin - I have asigned it to a macro in PE.MAC and entered a
label assignment in PE.CFG :
in PE.MAC
;F3  = reformats current paragraph
#3d00=#c800#1474#2166

in PE.CFG
; label for F3 performs reformatting of current paragraph
3=Format


If you want to "format" the left margin you have to use SED. A process of
formatting left&right margin would be :
- format right margin to what you want MINUS the left margin you intend to
apply
- the do the indentation on the left margin with SED

From the standard PE.CFG file :
; the next command indents each line by three spaces
; it uses the SED command
;&Indent 3 lines= sed -e "s//   /g" <%s >SCRATCH

There is an explanation in pe.doc as well.

On the Transfile problems: with power adapter plugged in seems to work
better than just on batteries, but I never succeeded to avoid the big
files problem entirely. Until I found that the connectivity pack
works fine under Windows 98 and NT4 as well, if you only do not go for
the Laplink and Windows stuff. If you have access to the Cpack: just as
quick, no problems no more, even with many Mb big files. I find myself
not often using Transfile no more now. I use the Aegis IR adapter with
it. No plugging no more either!

That would be the HP Sales listing for a *Journada* 200LX.

I wouldn't read too much into the posting - if they are cancelling
the 200LX in Novemebr, that means they will be selling *until*

Not my browser.  After I had to write 500 times on the
blackboard at school "a lot" is two words, because my teacher
was tired of telling this over and over again, (now I know how
Avi feels) I know my browser does suffer from that problem.  :-)

Yikes!!  Nope, that doesn't look good...  It looks like maxdos isn't
functioning at all.   here's what I get:

        651264 bytes total conventional memory
        651264 bytes available for MS-DOS
        577632 largest executable program size

and that's with some TSRs loaded before MaxDOS.

MaxDOS needs a fairly large amount of disk space to put a swap file, or
it will use EMS if you have any set up.  Here's my maxdos install from
autoexec.bat

C:\BIN\MAXDOS -L -E20 -WC:\TEMP
D:\BIN\KEY200 C:\_DAT\K200.TXT
A:\JAPAN\MOREEXM -S10
BUDDY C:\_DAT\BUDDY.ENV
200
C:\BIN:\MAXDOS -R

The -E20 allots 20 pages (320K) of EMS for the swap file
    -WC:\TEMP tells maxdos to use the c:\temp directory for the swap
     file if EMS isn't available.

The maxdos doc shows the -e and -w parameters as options, but I think
you must use at least -w.  It's possible to use a directory on A: if
you have a card, but it's a lot slower.

Hmmm - how big is your C: drive and how much free space is available?

Peniel (and Nathalie).

If your new "Max &DOS " icon appears after the normal "DOS" icon in AppMgr, then
pressing "D" will get the wrong one.

You have to move the Max&DOS icon to BEFORE the normal DOS icon, or use another
"hot" letter key other than "D".

Either that, or just move the selection box to over your MaxDOS icon using the
arrow keys and then press Enter.

You can put a list of email addresses in to a file and then enter
FILE:FIlename.adr into the To: field.

I don't know if this works, but maybe you can insert the line
FILE:Filename.adr into the post.adr file and pick it if you need the
list in Filename.adr.

Correct.  But in her post yesterday, Nathalie wrote that she had moved
the MaxDOS icon to a position before the regular DOS icon...  It IS
before the DOS icon, isn't it, Nathalie?

Thanks for the heads up, Martin , who asked "what is the point in posting
all this mime and html stuff?"

I'm new to Outlook Express and just noticed that there's a check box that
says "Reply to message in the format in which they were sent."  I've
unchecked that option. Let's see what other surprises MS has in store for
the unwary user.

I have always backed up my LX 200 to my PC using the connectivity pack in
either DOS or OS/2.  I have now acquired Transfile WIN 200 to be able to do
it under windows.

Unlike the connectivity pack which has a "backup" option that will only
overwrite newer files and skips files of the same date, there seems to be no
such option within Transfile.

The Help section mentions something about a backup command but it does not
appear on my screen.

Is there a way to get a backup in transfile
without having to transfer "everything" new and old from the LX?

I think you're stuck.

I don't recall the TF backup being anything other than a brute force file copy
of the whole disk using their own proprietary format (ie, you can't even check
to see what it backs up... it skips some types of files (hidden?).... nor are
you able to selectively restore.

That was my experience when it was first made available...there may have been
improvements since then, but I haven't heard much traffic about upgrades to TF.

Subject:  Backup using Transfile WIN 200




Unlike the connectivity pack which has a "backup" option that will only
overwrite newer files and skips files of the same date, there seems to be no
such option within Transfile.

The Help section mentions something about a backup command but it does not
appear on my screen.

Is there a way to get a backup in transfile
without having to transfer "everything" new and old from the LX?

Hi Rudi,

Thanks for the interest.  There hasn't been too much interest in those software
that I put out.  The last person who emailed me had problem finding the EZ-KIT.
In addition the serial port connecting the HP to the EZ-KIT is too slow for any
audio processing.  The EZSCOPE really only send processed data to the HP
at a much lower rate.

I like your page (of a DSP-guy :) albeit I don't have a GPS yet and
have not tried out anything.  The ADSP-2181 EZ-KIT & your program
EZSCOP10.ZIP especially interest me.

With stereo 16-bit A/D & D/A up to 48 KHz, our palmtop could possibly learn
to hear, to speak and to sing; and with eprom on board. And to see? Sorry,
I have not read through the page carefully yet.

Subject:      How many new 200LX's should we buy for resale?
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Hi Everyone,

Once again I ask for the sage advice of you on this list. We have two days
to decide how many new 200LX's we will inventory.  This is a very difficult
problem for us.  Here are the factors:

1. The margins on the units themselves are awful.  It will mean getting a
large bank loan. (I run a very conservative business and don't like to
borrow -- we have no long term debt).  Even getting just over 200 units,
will run into 6 figures.

2. We would probably buy them only for customers that want upgrades.

3. Backlighting is moving forward slowly.  My guess is that if we have a
product it will be in December or January.  It would be nice for customers
to be able to buy a new unit and have it backlit.  One thought would be to
ask for a, say, $250 deposit to hold a new unit until backlighting comes.
The $250 would be refundable only if we couldn't produce the backlight by,
say, Feb 15.  What do you think?

4. We are very backordered on used units. I don't have any immediate
prospects (in the next 6 months) for getting more in quantity although that
could change at any time.

Any input or thoughts would be appreciated.

Hal at Thaddeus

Hmmm??..No. Did you copy directories or install? I just opened a DOS

the warning that Windows should be shut down, said no to the
install-under-Win question. Oh, do not install to a network drive, but
to a local disk. Worked for me under W98 and NT4 workstation. Earlier,
under W95, I prudently followed close down instructions.

Jeff

First create a file with SMTP addresses only in the SAME dir
as the POST.ADR is located.

At the field TO: for example use the template
"FILE:<file>.ADR" and use that instead of the single address.
At sending the contents will be used row at a row.

I myself have created an extra MAILBOX with an email template
with this approach. Then I MOVE a msg to be handle first to
this new MAILBOX and use the FORWARD/REPLY from this
location. Or when receiving a msg use the filter for
receiving in that particular mailbox.

I manage four mailboxes in that way (all in WWW/LX) and found
it even more convenient then working on a normal desktop.

I only still have to digger out how to collect email
addresses from the internal database to a DOS-based (no
manager is running) WWW/LX. Any idea by the way ?

Please email privately at HWELLNER@INAME.COM if you may any
questions.

I think the serial port adresses are listed at memory address 40 in a
normal DOS pc. (It's been a long time since I messed with them.)  You
could swap the addresses between COM1 and 2 but that would be a hard way
to fix your program and they would have to be swapped back for
everything else.  Let me know if you're interested and I'll look for the
gory details.

Hal,
I just bought a 32M 1X speed 200LX from you a few weeks ago.  I'll keep
my old stock 4M 200LX as a backup.  I might possibly see myself getting
a 64M or 96M unit in the future but that is only a faint dream at this
time.  I will Not be getting back lighting (battery like is too
important) and even 2X speed on another machine isn't certain. (I don't
regret getting this 32M without 2X speed.)

cheers... Russ

The problem with the Cpack is that it is limited to showing only about
120 (+ or -) files in any subdirectory and only shows them in native
directory order - that is sorting will not change which files show.  So
if you do have larger length file listings, you cannot find certain
files to copy.

Hey Guys, a warning:

A few weeks ago, I bought my wife's sister an HP48G
calculator. When she travelled from Israel to the Czech
Republic, El-Al wouldn't let her take it on the plane because
they "didn't have the necessary equipment to check it
properly". She was given a receipt for it and told that it
would be sent by the next plane to Prague airport. It wasn't.
One week later and numerous phone calls, at her expense (she's
a student), and all she's been told is "Wait three weeks. If
it still hasn't arrived we'll send you a form to claim for
compensation".

Apart from the fact this is shitty treatment over an action
that was completely unnecessary in the first place, IMO, (the
calculator had batteries in it and could be shown working), It
chills my blood when I think what would happen if they
confiscated and lost my HP200. I have backups, but you can't
buy and use another while you're waiting for them to get their
act together. Now she's without her HP during her degree
course.

Think I'll avoid El-Al wherever possible!

I'd like to point out that backlighting doesn't decrease battery life
unless you actually turn the backlight on.  So, while the decision to
backlight or not is strictly an individual one, battery life itself should
not be a direct concern the way it is with the speed upgrade.

I would like to point out that the speed upgrade is not a battery hog.  It
does NOT consume half your battery life for double the speed, but only
takes a 10-20% hit on battery life, according to your usage pattern. The
effects of the speed upgrade make a tremendous difference in usability of
the palmtop according to most users.  Most would consider it to be the most
important of the upgrades we currently provide.

 Mack                            mailto:mack@times2tech.com

I think the problem, as Ed pointed out, is that many mailers like Outlook
Express or Groupwise or Netscape Messenger will send messages as HTML
attachments, with VCard signatures attached, etc., without the person ever
knowing they did anything "wrong."  Fortunately, most of the mailers
embed their version number and what not in the message headers, as in:

X-Mailer: POST/LX 2.2d

in the message from Russ.  Obviously, we want to keep this list as
text-based as possible and avoid the wasted space of HTML, RTF, vCard,
etc.  Ed posted the solution for Outlook Express.  I will use that one,
and write up solutions for the othe common mailers that add junk to the
messages, and post those in the FAQ or somplace similar.  That way we can
quickly refer people to the information about their mailer and how to fix
it.  Then if they don't we can take appropriate action.  <g>

Agreed.  The speed upgrade is definitely the most important upgrade for
me, and I didn't mean to imply that it sucks up battery power like no
tomorrow.  I personally haven't noticed very much drain, and in any case
we'll soon have even higher-capacity batteries, it seems, so the effects
will be even less noticeable.  The speed upgrade is definitely worth it in
terms of power trade-off; anybody who thinks differently IMHO hasn't tried
the speed upgrade, because once you use it you really can't go back to 1x.
Without the double-speed upgrade, many people who use the 200LX primarily
as a PIM would probably me more inclined to switch to a PalmPilot or
something along those lines, but a double-speed palmtop will easily
outpace any other organizer I've used.

Anyway, what I meant was that, even though the speed upgrade doesn't use
very MUCH extra battery power, the backlight will use even less, if you
don't turn it on; it's not an all-or-nothing proposition like the speed
upgrade is, where you can't switch it back to 1x to conserve power. (Well,
I guess you could switch it back to 1x if you tried my experiment of
hooking up both the 1x and 2x crystals and toggling between them with a
switch, but I'm pretty sure everybody has heard the story of how THAT
experiment turned out.

I would go for the $250 deposit toward a new backlit machine.  Not sure
how much memory can fit my budget, though.

Considering the backlog on used machines pretty much pushes me toward a
new unit, preferably backlit.

I agree with Peniel.  If used palmtops are simply not available anymore,
I'd guess that a fair number of palmtoppers will just throw in the towel
and buy a new one instead.

Subject:      Fast Modems?

I remember *LOTS* of discussion, quite some time ago about fast modems.

Since mine might be on its way out, what are the fastest out there that'll
work internally w/ the LX?

How about externally?  I'm not against a critter that'd take a little
battery, if it'd also let me power it internally when my LX was plugged in
or, at the least, let me plug it in too, to save bttys..

I hate to ask this, but does the double-speed help the LX "turn over and
receive" data to/from the modem or have any other benefit?  The question
points out an area where I'd like to increase my knowledge Ok, I'm dumb
today <grin>!, but I do remember some discussion about the benefits of 2X
my 200LX is a doublespeed; my older 1MB 100LX is unmodified and could
really work w/ an external modem and a memory card. But would the
single-speed one under-perform, compared to the double-speed one?.

Anyone hear anything more about that "universal" 56K modem?  Universal as an
external for PDAs, that is.... It was supposed to work w/ Palm-critters, CE
devices and maybe our palmtop.

Let me know!

TIA,

Don't have my computer troubleshooting book w/ me BUT....

You may try to find out if your program can be fooled into thinking COM1 is
COM2.

Disclaimers up front: Back-up everything, including using paper to write
down your current settings or the universe may cease to exist as you know it
you could lose all your data and have to start w/ a blank machine.

In Setup, my COM1 is listed as having an IO address of 03f8 and using 4 as
the Interrupt.  I *think* COM2 is at:

IO   02f8 and uses 3 as the Interrupt

the list will surely correct me, if I'm wrong.

You may be able to fool the program into thinking it's sending data to COM2,
*if* it uses these parameters as its sole indicator of where it's
sending/receiving data *BUT* your other, communications dependent, programs
can stop working normally, etc. and you'd have to reset things to make it
all work again.

No guarantee. You didn't mention the program, *AND* usually these COM
experiment ideas of mine don't work.  At least you can say you've kicked the
tires and wiggled the wires but if you're out of gas the wrecker guy will
still laugh at you when you mention these things as he hooks your car to the
tow-truck.....

Good luck,

Hello David,

I wasn't worried about what you said David, as I was curious to why someone
would order a palmtop without the speed upgrade.  I just assumed that
battery life was the biggest concern and I wanted to alleviate that.

It's been awhile since I used CPACK.

How do you use CPACK for file transfers with NT4 without using Laplink?

I may have a unique NT4 problem since my "company's" NT4 workstations are
set up to use NTFS and will not boot to DOS.

Daniel,
Your LXTeX read.me looks very complete and professional.
I apologize for asking, but I still am not completely sure what it is.
It seems like an editor that allows formatting. Is that correct?
If so, how much formatting?
I hope that I'm not the only one who doesn't know.

Thanks,

LXTeX is a version of LaTeX, which is a language designed to allow
structured text formatting and typesetting.  Here's a man page on the
command "latex" on hplx.net that should provide some info:

       The LaTeX language is described in the book LaTeX - A Doc-
       ument Preparation System.  LaTeX is a TeX  macro  package,
       not  a  modification to the TeX source program, so all the
       capabilities described in tex(1) are present.

       The LaTeX macros encourage writers to think about the con-
       tent of their documents, rather than the form.  The ideal,
       very difficult to realize, is to have no  formatting  com-
       mands  (like  ``switch to italic'' or ``skip 2 picas'') in
       the document at all; instead, everything is done  by  spe-
       cific  markup  instructions: ``emphasize'', ``start a sec-
       tion''.

       The primary source of documentation for LaTeX is the LaTeX
       manual  referenced  below, and the local guide in the file
       local-guide.tex or local.tex or some such somewhere in the
       directory /usr/lib/texmf/texmf/tex.


From what I've heard, textbooks and the like, which require a lot of
formatting, are often produced using LaTeX.

I trust the people who know better than me, including Daniel, to step in
if I've made a mistake.

I don't know what the popularity of the Hplx will be in the future, but I
would recommend to wait till the company is trying to get rid of the
machines at a good price (if that ever happens) before you buy a large
stock.
I bought my Poqet from California digital a while back, and they were
able to make a profit because they got new units at very good prices from
the Fujitsu company.  Now they are trying to sell used units for the
price they were selling the new ones, but they don't seem to be selling
quite as many, even though the used units are backlit, more powerful than
the first ones, and even compatible with the hplx machines (which is why
I am still interested in one more Poqet)

The moral is, don't burn yourself just to help us!

Well, I for one am patiently waiting for the backlighting, and when I get
it, I don't plan to get the speed upgrade, for the above reason.  There
are only a very few occasions when I might wish for a faster palmtop.
For most occasions it is plenty fast for me (including using DOS
programs), and so since controlling the speed is not an option, and since
it requires sacrificing some of  my very limited palmtop memory for yet
another driver, I am definitely not sold on the idea.

I think if you tried it, you wouldn't go back.  It is definitely worthwhile
as there is no price difference between getting the speed upgrade or not if
you purchase a memory upgrade.  It can always be easily removed if it isn't
to your liking.  There is a software option for controlling the speed for
games and such, and the driver only takes about 1.2k for the biggest
version or you can run a slightly slower version that is only about .5k in
size.  I really suggest that you try it as it makes the palmtop much more
usable.

Of course other here can back up everything I have to say as I am quite
biased of course. :-)

Considering that El-Al is probably the #1 target of terrorists I would
say they have to be extra careful.  Imagine the problem of airport
security that has to be able to determine if every possible electronic
is real or not?  Especially with ever increasing numbers of new devices
being introduced every year.  In a way I'm surprised they aren't more
restrictive.

It wouldn't be too difficult to make a laptop/palmtop/calculator look
real, including active screens, and yet still hold a sizeable bomb.

Still, I'm sorry she lost her (expensive!) calculator.

Mack (and the List),
Since I'm the (only?) one that bought the 1X speed 32M machine let me
try to explain my logic (or lack of it).

I use disposable Lithium batteries.  While they are expensive, compared
to recharables, I do like the l-o-n-g life and freedom from frequent
chargings.  Still, even a 10-20% reduction in life isn't desireable.

ABSOLUTE compatibility with ANYTHING made for the 200LX.  As well as
the speed upgrade has been engineered it isn't perfect. (Very close but
not perfect.)  There are a number minor 'things' that exist such as the
screen before the driver is loaded, some obscure hardware has had some
problems, and programs might run differently (the classic example would
be a game that used timing loops).  You even need another driver to keep
the alarm sounds from running fast.

Anyone on this list for long has seen posts from people that have lost
their drivers due to a crash or low batteries.  While I have extra
drivers for the (wonderful!) 32M disk I don't have as many. (1 for the
disk and 1 to swap it with C:.)  Even if I lost the drivers, the LX is
still semi-usable with it's 2M disk as I keep a recent copy of the
"_DAT" directory there; I would still have access to my appointments and
phone book.

I'm not the LX power user that some of you are.  I don't run 123 or
compilers or other such CPU hogs that really benefit from a faster CPU.

I was very happy with my stock 4M unit.  Using a 10M flash card I had
managed to squeeze a lot of function in it including Software Carousel
with 3 full sized sessions and WWW/LX.  I usually had @1M of the 4M free
so most email and news groups weren't much problem.  Still only 1M free
was a reoccuring problem especially when I started followiing rec.guns
which has about 1k posts a week.

I upgraded only for the disk space.  Since I value simple function I
tend to shy away from features I don't need as they add to the
complexity.

This is not meant to convince others not to get the 2X speed as it is a
very nice enhancement; I'm only trying to show that there are some
reasons why not getting it is valid.

cheers... Russ

I second the motion. If you think your LX is cool now, you will flip out
when you get the speed upgrade. It's awesome!

Controlling the speed is an option -- you can slow it down if you like,
just not via hardware.  You owe it to yourself and your palmtop to at
least try the double-speed upgrade when you get a backlight; the backlight
control software is going to be built into the speed driver anyway, thus
meaning you won't be sacrificing more of your limited palmtop memory.
The speed upgrade is something I consider absolutely essential, even if
all you do is PIM stuff.  Even if you only use it for word processing, the
speed upgrade is vital -- no, ESPECIALLY if you only use it for word
processing, because with the speed upgrade you can actually type faster on
the palmtop.  My palmtop typing rate went from about 40wpm and "wait for
the 200LX to catch up with me) to well over 70wpm.

No matter what you do on the palmtop, the speed upgrade is an absolutely
essential part of it, and once you've tried it for five minutes and seen
how much faster you can type, how much faster the screen updates, how much
faster things run in general... you'll realize how much more productive it
makes you.  There really is no reason NOT to get it, especially now that
we'll soon have 1650mAh no-internal-drain batteries, not to mention the
recently mentioned 2000 and 2200mAh batteries (which I have yet to find
any information on.  URL anybody?).  And if you don't like it and find it
cuts battery life too much, it's a very easy thing to set back to normal;
you could do it yourself with minimal soldering experience by following
the pictures on my Hardware Hacking site.

Okay, I'll stop, but ... you have to try the speed upgrade at least. I'd
venture to say that it's pretty much the speed upgrade that has kept the
palmtop alive for so long.  Memory is nice, but speed is critical.

I got about 35 hours on my 32MB speed-doubled machine with lithiums.
Curiously, I got about 34 hours with my 1x 6MB machine.

I'm pretty sure all the stuff is now compatible with it, even the Silicom
Ethernet card.

As for timing loops, just hit a key combo and you can slow down the LX.
Very handy.

I don't think so.  In this machine, everything you do is limited by
the speed of the processor, from searching to screen updates, even
your typing speed.  Come, join us. Don't be afraid. Luke ... I am your
father.... <g>

The speed upgrade has built in timing control for games, etc.  You don't
have to run the alarm driver if you don't want as it is there for aesthetic
reasons only.  As for incompatibilities, there are very few, the only one I
can think of offhand is the Silicom Ethernet card and that is easily solved
by getting the cheaper and better Accton Ethernet card.

If you are not a power user then you will never encounter the "obscure"
hardware or software problems that you mentioned.

Everything you do on the palmtop is faster including the screen updates,

believe you have really cheated yourself in not trying it.

Even software carousel will swap session much faster and make it more

There is no extra complexity if you load the drivers on your flashcard as

And the newer Silicom cards work with the 2x 200LX anyway, though why
anybody would buy one is still beyond me, since all the 200LX programmers
use Accton cards anyway.  <g>

I keep my drivers and a config.sys on my flash card; that way if I ever
lose the drivers, I just insert the flash card.  Since the palmtop
looks for the earliest config.sys and boots to that drive, I'm home
free -- just by inserting the card and booting up.

With the real HP Omnibook gone, the HP200 LX about to go, another
product may be disappearing. The Deskjet 340 advertising and appearance
in computer superstores disappearing. It may not be the printer to end
all printers, but it seems durable, has comparatively large cartridge
and prints from my Omnibook and LX by IR.

Question: Some time ago, folks on the Omnibook list found HP
tech/service manuals for the OB 600 and 800 in PDF format. Has anyone
seen similar info for the Deskjet 340 and HP200LX?

I'm thinking better search for such stuff before they disappear.

My back-of-envelope math shows tthat you are buying these units for
about list ($500/per) - YIKES!

If I were you, I would think the right number would be a one year
supply of units, that would give you 12 months to get up to speed
on the next platform...

To my thinking, you would sell enough units each month to easily
cover the note from the bank, and the cost ot capital for each unit
will approach 10%, or an extra $50/per...

Of course, my suggestion is based on "new unit" sales, not used
units...

I have noticed also that what can happen is that many readers
are using mail clients that will respond in the same format as
the mail you are replying to. What happens is one person posts
a message with some mime ext., then all the responses have
mime ext. as well, and it just snowballs...

Copied... the disks were at home.  I'll have to see if I can find them...
being able to use my Jeteye IR port to transfer files at work would be

  My workaround is to go thru the rejection cycle twice and then TransfileWin

  I'm not sure, but I think the "No connection..." message comes up less
frequently if I don't multitask ... tedious but necessary for long backups
since I don't have a Conn Pack.

I have a TransDigital universal parallel port card purchased from
Thaddeus, which comes with its own file transfer program ("trans"), useful
when connecting a palmtop to a desktop via a parallel port connnection.
Does anyone know, can the PC be made to recognize the "networked" palmtop
drive?  can more generic "connection" programs such as a version of
laplink or similar be used or is the connection specifically handled by
this program alone.



Thanks,



Lionel

This is a pretty cool outliner.  The Akagi font is pretty cool, too, even
though it sucks up a lot of my precious RAM.

I've figured out how to create an outline and how to collapse children of
the root, but how do you easily move the collapsed sections around and
reinflate them without losing the structure?  I tried cut and paste
and it destroys the outline structure.

Thanks!

Somebody on the list told some time ago, that the DJ 340 does not printing
via the LX IR.
Was that wrong? Do you need special drivers?

Thanks for the advice, but it turned out that You could use COM1 with
this program after all. I guess it uses COM2 due to the higher
priority of COM2.(or something like that)

FYI
The prog I was trying to use on my hp is a prog that connects to a
video crypt smart card. I dont even have a satelite dish, but it could
be fun to see what the hp is capable of and maybe learn something on the
way.
Yes - It is illegal to use it to decode and watch pay-TV. But if You
have payed for a decoder and whant to experiment for educational purposes =
then
there would not be any problem.

Hi Jeff,

Try installing CPack in a (simulated) DOS-window and just take warnings
to close down Windows for granted; do not install Laplink and Windows
compatibility. See the discussion on this list under 'My Transfile
Win200 copies...'. The Connectivity Pack might work for you under NT4
as well.

CPack shows 256 files. If you set a filter (F4) for filenames or
extensions, I believe you get 256 files that meet the filter criteria.
I have no such big directories myself, but just checked one of the net
directories in the office with CPack. Got more than 256 *.gif files,
but still 92 with another extension I set the filter to, even though I
confirmed there were no 92 such within the first 256 listed with the
*.* filter.

Hi Don,

CPack uses its own communication routine, you do not need Laplink for
that.

> set up to use NTFS and will not boot to DOS.

Same is true for the workstations in my employer's office, which is
where I use CPack on the NT4 machines, as decribed in my messages in
the thread 'My Transfile Win200 copies...'. I hope this will work for
you as well. While the machines do not boot to DOS, NT can start a
simulated DOS in its own window, and you can even set that apart
with Ctrl-Esc, without closing, if you want to go back to NT software
for a while. Have you tried? If you have installed CPack already WITH
Laplink, it might be wise first to uninstall and remove that, and then
install CPack as described.

It took me a while before I dared just to do what is said we should
not!

Geert.

Interesting.  What brand are they?  Flash cards, IIRC, cause a
current-usage "spike" when first inserted, then settle down into a much
lower usage current.  But even so, the only card I ever had that might do
that was a Microtech card.

Highlight the top line of the section you want to move, and do
ShiftUp or ShiftDown.  Don't even need to collapse the section
to move it.

I just purchased mine a week ago so I have not had much time to fiddle with
it. However, I tried printing out of memo and it worked fine. It was my first
try! but I'm used to doing in my HP6P. Worked just the same.

Back in July, there was a thread on printing from WORD on the palmtop. I saved
all these but have not had time to digest them. The problem seems to be to
give the serial port a kick to activate it. Then printing should work. I could
put all these threads together into one file if someone hasn't already done
that.

According to the Outlook documentation, Outlook 2K automatically
replies in the format your sender used, regardless of the message
editor you use. There's also a check-box in Address Book for "send
messages using plain text", or words to that effect, which overrides
the auto-format of replies. There's also a choice on the "Format" menu
of the message editor that lets you send in plain text, RTF, or HTML.
This last *may not* be available if you use Word as your message
editor. I use OE5 since it does more of what I want easier than Outlook
2000.

In Netscape, it's under "Edit|Preferences", "Messages", then "More
Options" gets you to where you can choose how to send messages to
people who aren't listed as being able to receive HTML mail, including
the especially nasty (at least they have the good grace to sort of
admit it) "Always send the message in plain text and HTML".

Hal,

As for myself, I hope I am set on LX's.  My daily unit is one
you upgraded to a 8 meg doublespeed, and also I have a untouched
4 meg, still with a HP extended warranty, that just sits as a
backup, and I just bought a 2 meg unit that when you finally get
the backlit project complete, I will send it in to have it
backlit, and upgraded at the same time.

I would be happy to send the $250 to hold a place for a backlit
screen, if that would help offset the backlit project costs.
The promise date is not critical, although I sure am getting
anxious. :-)

I have had my doublespeed LX now for a little less than a year.
Just a few days ago, I got out my factory 4 meg unit to check the
batteries.  As I was poking around, it seemed like it took
forever.  I had gotten so used to the doublespeed performance,
that I had forgot what single speed performance was like.  Thanks
again for the speed upgrade creation.  :-)

To me that would be like buying a car without air conditioning,
just to save that few cents the air costs while driving.  Also
if you are using rechargables, and keep your LX plugged in at
home while you sleep, and/or while you are at work (if you sit
at a desk like me), then battery life is not even an issue.

My last three computer magazines still had the 340 for sale.  Do
you realize how long HP has been selling that same printer,
without ever upgrading, or replacing it?  I have had mine for
about 4 years, and I really don't know how long they have been
selling it, but when you figure out how many pages of regular
paper that I can print to, on one battery, it is unbelievable.  I
have two batteries, so when I wish to be portable, it is a great
solution, compared to what is currently out on the market, that
uses regular paper.  I haven't seen any evidence yet on the 340
disappearing from my mail order catalogs.

I should know the answer to that, but I don't remember.  When I
bought my 340, I had not yet owned a LX yet.  After purchasing
my 340, I bought the IR adapter from HP, for the 340.  I think I
was able to print from my laptop, but once again I don't recall,
it was a few years ago.  When I bought my first LX, I remember
downloading the IR driver from HP, but once again don't recall
if I ever got my LX to print IR to my 340.

Seems like I don't remember very well.  :-(  Luckily I have my
LX to keep me organized, or I really be lost.  :-)  I will have
to dig out that IR driver, and see if I can get my LX to
communicate with my 340.  It may come in handy for school.

My pal Hal
My thought would be to know your future and market.
If you plan to do this for a L O N G time and going part
time even as the market tapers down, then get as many
(good) ones as you can afford.  If you think there will
always be some market.  Especially if they're new.
You should be able to get these for $200 each or less
somewhere.  I've seen them for $150 used.

idea....
How about an incentive (reverse) sale?  One upgrade or backlight
for one or two working LX200 for a period of time.  It'll get everybody
to
scour their neighborhoods and get you the units you need at a cheep
cost and benefit everybody as they will get the unit (and keep the
best ones) but hey....

I agree, even if I have my LX plugged in, it will reboot me if I

my LX is on.

Was there any truth in the following or was it just rumour ? I never
saw any replies to this. I presumed it wan't right.

Except the bit about dicontinuing on Nov 1st.

      Hello all,

I heard the following info at Orbitrade Ltd.'s office at Budapest,
Hungary; they are the local distributor of HP Calculators and Palm-
tops. The name of the person is Zoltan Matok.

After Nov. 1999 the HP 200LX/1000CX will continue to be available,
but not to individuals. If a distributor or a corporate purchaser
orders at least 100 pcs, the order will be served. Practically any
3rd party buyer is welcome, as long as the quantity is > 100pcs.

Can anyone confirm / deny the above info?

Yes, thats how DOS works.  Unfortunatly, most DOS
programs hard wire the addresses in their code.
And Windows has gone to the hard wired paradigm.
To swap the COM1 and COM2 ports, swap the memory
contents at 40:0h and 40:2h.  DOS commands like
COPY will reflect the change, most others will not.
You "could" use a binary file editor or DEBUG to
patch the DOS program.

Last year I sent a list member a program to swap
the ports.  (Unfortunately, didn't help him.)
I'll look for the references and the like if you
want.  E-mail crashed on me over the weekend and
I just caught up with the digests.

Actually the one thing that has kept me from getting a upgraded palmtop is
the speed upgrade. From what information I have found, it won't work with my
network card (a Silicom card), which in turn kills my network analyzer
software (Precision Guesswork's PocketWatch).

If someone ever verifies the Silicom card works in an upgraded unit, I'd
gladly get a 96mb model.

I just looked at the HP shopping site at the Jornada 200lx.  Interesting!
Didn't know that HP had gone back to Version 2. of 123 in the ROM?  And why
aren't batteries included anymore?  The two new 200's I bought had them
included.
Sorry for the ramblings.  Guess they aren't being too careful about a
product they don't care about.

It might, and it might not.  Most of them don't, but some newer
Silicom cards reportedly work.  Your best bet would be to get an Accton
EN2216-1.  PocketWatch works fine with it.

The real suspicious part of most electronic devices
is the battery (shows up as dense blob on x-ray machine).

Was the calculator in suitcase or carry-on?

I wonder what the real impact is if you compare the increase in
battery usage due to double-speed upgrade to the reduced time
the unit will be on since it produces answers twice as fast.

Of course, the one constant in all of this is the speed of the user,
if that can keep up with the upgraded palmtop then some savings
might be possible. ;) Getting results twice as fast is nice, but if
it still takes x seconds to use the results, what is the gain?

Just a thought,

Actually, I did not get the ORIGINAL crystal so that option is not
really available - or at least I don't think I did.   hmmmmmm.  I
purchased a new unit with 32megs and speed upgrade.  I'll have to dig
out the packaging.

And while I have helped in the solder job once or twice, I assisted
Doctor Welby-Dobrowski (g), I'm not sure it is my type of work! (G)

Mind you, I do like the speed upgrade but I may have been one of the
longer holdouts from the long time users.  (and was offered free
elective surgery (and crystal) a number of times, I, too, did not want
to deal with the possibly blurred screen and the battery hit)  I really
did not mind the slower palmtop and could probably live without it but
it is nice. Call me slow.............

some folks only home might also be a cottage:

1: the dwelling of a farm laborer or small farmer
2: a usu. small frame one-family house

Thanks for the FILTER idea.  And 256 is better than what I remembered.
I do have one directory on my desktop with 900 *.zip files.  And I was

I should follow my own EXPERIMENT advice but instead I'll ask....

If you boot to a: with config.sys there, will having a SWAP instruction
(memory upgrade) continue to run an autoexec.bat file on the c: (or f:)
drive or the normal scenario where the location of config.sys on a:
dictates that autoexec.bat also runs from a:

And if not, maybe this is something Mack could do with yet another
config.sys command????

It may be a palrun issue.  While I don't generally use PE, I do use
POST/lx (accis) and other HP200 programs on my win95 desktop.  I cannot
generally get them to OPEN initially in a window but can generally use
Alt-Enter to toggle between full screen and a window.  Sometimes the
window needs to be resized.

I also find that if my screen blanker kicks in, that any such programs
implode down to the taskbar and need to be "restored" to foreground.  It
may be related to the screen resolution you run in.  I know I have
tweaked palrun (and cgagraph.com and cg.com) a few times using
different parms but nothing seems to help.  Maybe if I did not use a
more super-vga resolution things would be different?????

I also recall experimenting and finding that some parms would come up
with the Windows' message "will not run in window - run full screen
only" but I can multitask with the correct parms set.

You got it.  It actually worked, but the machine froze about 1/3 of the

Hi Hal.

My $.02 ... I plan to upgrade and would put in a $250 deposit.  The Feb 15
deadline is a good idea... my birthday is the day after <g>.

Ask members for the deposit to be received by a certain date, and commit to that
many units.  OTOH, if you need to commit in two days, I think you'll have to go
by your gut feeling on how the market has been to this point (for new units).

Nope.  All of Cpack works except Filer.  I still haven't found my install disks
yet tho... but I'm thinking that something in my NT system setup may be giving
me grief.  The current NT/Cpack install is just a copy of the Cpack on my Win95
notebook, which works fine there...and that was copied from yet another computer
(long since departed).

Possible clue: when I go to Explorer (under NT) and click on CFILER.EXE in the
Cpack directory, I get a brief message about "out of environment space".

I know how to expand environment space on DOS, but I may have to research NT a
bit.   Anyone know of a utility that shows the bytes used/unused in a DOS/NT
environment?  I looked in Simtel, but most of the utilities just show the
environment variables...not the degree of usage.

>You are trying the com version of the Jeteye,
>I suppose, not the printer JetEye.

Yes, tho I have both, and had both of them working before under Win95 and DOS
6.22.  I have the printer Jeteye working at home just fine.  I had been using
the serial cable at work for the occasional transfers to/from my NT desktop, so
IR would be nice, but is not a high priority.

We're better than our machines.

If it returns answers to us faster than we can use them, then we'll doubtless
ask more (and harder) questions.

Our nature is to use all available capacity (Comp Sci 101).

In defense of 1x units (I have both), consistent response time is an important
factor.  It's easy to work-around the shortcomings of a machine that otherwise
does things in a predictable manner.  Just as we learn to live without drag and
drop and GUI-everything, a user on a slow machine adapts his/her style
accordingly.

2x is better for me....I generally hate waiting for anything as mundane as
screen refreshes, but I could see where 2x is not a quantum leap for many.
Diversity is wonderful isn't it?

I will definitely get a back-lite model with double speed and 8 Meg of Ram.
I would prefer a used one for price reasons, but would pay for a new one.

I currently own a 32 Meg and recently lost the c: drive.  I am thinking of
storing most of my stuff on the 220MB card and only using the extra memory
for ems to make software carousel fly.  Hence I will probably go to smaller
memory.

Agreed.  The speed upgrade is definitely the most important upgrade for
me, and I didn't mean to imply that it sucks up battery power like no
tomorrow.  I personally haven't noticed very much drain, and in any case
we'll soon have even higher-capacity batteries, it seems, so the effects
will be even less noticeable.  The speed upgrade is definitely worth it in
terms of power trade-off; anybody who thinks differently IMHO hasn't tried
the speed upgrade, because once you use it you really can't go back to 1x.
Without the double-speed upgrade, many people who use the 200LX primarily
as a PIM would probably me more inclined to switch to a PalmPilot or
something along those lines, but a double-speed palmtop will easily
outpace any other organizer I've used.

Anyway, what I meant was that, even though the speed upgrade doesn't use
very MUCH extra battery power, the backlight will use even less, if you
don't turn it on; it's not an all-or-nothing proposition like the speed
upgrade is, where you can't switch it back to 1x to conserve power. (Well,
I guess you could switch it back to 1x if you tried my experiment of
hooking up both the 1x and 2x crystals and toggling between them with a
switch, but I'm pretty sure everybody has heard the story of how THAT
experiment turned out.

I do.  I'm always using my LX in public hoping someone will ask me about
it.  This gives me the oppurtunity to tell them about the 200LX and how
it is a much better palmtop than the CEs and Pilots.

WE are the best advertisement for the 200LX!

David,
I'm sorry but I disagree; Memory is critical, Speed is nice.

A slower full function pc is more useful than a faster one that doesn't

Or, in some parts of the US, `Camp' is used (for example, upstate

large enough to have their own private railroad stations (where you
couldn't get off the train unless you had a signed `permission') so
there isn't any necessary implication that a `Camp' is necessarily
`small' by any normal standards. `Camps' on Lake Placid, for example,
often have several buildings: Main House, Boat House, Maid's quarters,
Chauffeur's quarters, Guest House(s), ...

Have you though about using a HEX/BIN editor to just change the binary?

Granted it might be hard to locate, but you could have a COM1 copy and a
COM2 copy.  Of course, the best alternative is a re-compile, but I
assume that is out of the question.

Just a random thought.

Hi Hal,

I'm going to be calling you to fix an HP100lx of mine.  I have a HP200lx/4mb
now.  I do not ever want to buy a palmtop CE computer--I think they are junk.
I have the two year extended warranty on my HP200lx/4mb that is good for
another 24 months (just bought it this week).  (I want the HP100 fixed as a
backup.)

I do hope that when I need another palmtop that you'll still be in business
selling them because I like a palmtop that runs MS DOS and has a battery life
that lasts nearly a month of normal use.  The HP 100/200 palmtop is so good.

Is it true what the one poster said that dealers who order qty orders of 100+
HP 200s will be able to continue ordering in such large sizes after 11/1/99?

BTW, will they reboot ANY 200LX, or just yours?  My old 200LX was a lot
more picky about hot-swapping than my current one.

Man, sounds like something is wrong with your cards or your palmtop.  I
never had a flash card capable of rebooting my machine except the 40MB
Microtech triple-speed card, and then only because it took about 150ma
while writing.  Simple Tech and Sandisk cards have never been enough to
reboot my machine even when my T2T NiMH batteries are almost empty.  Even
the EN2216-1 network card won't reboot it.  The Simple Tech 33.6
Communicator does about half the time.

Bob,

I made a resumee for my own use after having learnt, with the
help of the list, a lot about DOS commands:

Printersetup for 200LX DOS editors/word processors (PE, WORD,
HPP) and for IR Lotus printing

1. TO PRINT FROM DOS VIA SHIER CABLE TO THE POCKET JET:

The following command ONLY has to be
(1) executed from the command line or has to be
(2) contained in the SC startup commands list or to
(3) run as a batch file (C:\PJON.BAT):
to power up the serial port Com1:

       c:\lxstat S W

The Batch file PJON.BAT (for Pocket Jet ON) looks as follows:

rem C:\PJOFF.BAT (Batch file to ENABLE DOS printing via cable to
Pocket Jet)

c:\lxstat s w

To power down, run PJOFF.BAT as follows:

rem C:\PJOFF.BAT (Batch file to DISABLE DOS printing via cable
to Pocket Jet)

c:\lxstat s o


2. TO PRINT FROM DOS VIA INFRARED PORT TO THE HP6MP LASER JET:

The following series of commands has to be

(1) executed from the command line or has to be
(2) contained in the SC startup commands list or
(3) to be run as a batch file (C:\IRON.BAT):

d:\dos\mode com1:96,n,8,1,p (to set Com1 parameters)
d:\dos\mode lpt1:=3Dcom1:     (to reroute printer output to Com1)
c:\irjeteye.com com1        (to enable DOS Irda driver for Com1)
c:\lxstat S W               (to power up the serial port Com1)
c:\lxstat S I               (to power up the infrared port)

The Batch file IRON.BAT looks as follows:

rem IRON.bat (Batch file to ENABLE IR DOS printing to HP6MP)

d:\dos mode com1:96,n,8,1,p
d:\dos\mode lpt1:=3Dcom1:
c:\irjeteye.com com1
c:\lxstat s w
c:\lxstat s i
c:\lxstat

To power IR down, execute the Batch file IROFF.BAT:

rem IROFF.bat (Batch file to DISABLE IR DOS printing to HP6MP)
c:\jetutil -d
c:\lxstat s o
d:\dos\mode lpt1:

3. TO PRINT INFRARED FROM LOTUS (within SysMgr)

Nothing is needed but ld.bat in Autoexec.bat or in the Startup
command list for the SC Work Area where SysMgr is running.

NOTE: Printing Infrared with LOTUS starts only several seconds
after giving the GO command. Initially nothing happens and
it falsely seems that printing has failed, be patient.

For better reading, go into edit mode to get correct
formatting of paragraphs. I hope I got everything right, this
computing world is very mysterious !

Ed,

>Adding the plain text fix-ups for email programs to the FAQ is
a good idea.

Excellent idea ! That would have spared me the hard responses
from the list when I still used Eudora (POST/LX now), -
supposing I had read the FAQ, of course <g>.

The key word seems to be "quoted printable" as I learned from
the list. So the job for Eudora would be to go to
Tools/Options/Sending Mail and unselect "May use quoted
printable".

Hal,

as I just purchased a backup unit I would, as Robert Hockings
suggested to-day, also prepay for backlighting with a deposit
now, if that is of any help.

Well, here are some thoughts.

I need my 200LX daily for several tasks and expect I will for the next
few years at least (seriously, I'm thinking 5-10 years; I even have
some things for which I (infrequently) use a Portable Plus!).  I
therefore have two backup units, one a 200LX that I bought new and
used for 1.5 years before buying a second new 200LX and sending it to
Mack for double-speed plus 32MB RAM upgrade and one used 200LX
recently bought through private sale.  Sooner or later I'll get around
to sending one or both in (likely to Thaddeus) for double-speed and
probably at least 32MB upgrades, at which point they will go back on
the shelf 'til I need them.

Backlighting is not interesting to me.  At least not at $250, maybe
not at $100.  Sorry Hal &c, but I would like you to know that the
enthusiasm is not universal -- I just haven't felt that deprived by
not having it.

It's not clear to me whether buying a used 2MB 200LX then sending it
in to Thaddeus for an upgrade is less expensive than buying a pre-upgraded
used unit from Thaddeus.  My guess is no unless you find a really good
deal (going price for a 2MB 200LX w/other misc bits seems to be around
$250 on ebay), but it also appears that Thaddeus often has a backlog of
requests for used units.

I guess it depends on how much of a hurry you're in and how prepared
you want to be.  My feeling is that if my 200LX broke I would just as
soon be prepared and the best preparation is having a backup unit
handy, needing only batteries, most-recent-backup, and a good recovery
procedure to get me going.

The things we do to feed our addictions!  "Hi, my name is Frank, and
I'm a 200LX user...."

Roleigh,

<<I do hope that when I need another palmtop that you'll still be in

I believe we will be in business for at least 3 more years selling them. But
we have to be a little smart and a little lucky. For example, as much as I
would want to, we can't overextend ourselves buying new palmtops.  I am
hopeful we eventually will be able to obtain a large quantity of used
palmtops.

<<Is it true what the one poster said that dealers who order qty orders of
100+
HP 200s will be able to continue ordering in such large sizes after

I checked at the time and I am checking again with HP Singapore. I doubt it
is true or I would have been told.  I am in frequent contact with the head
of the HP Handheld division and he knows of my interest.

Yes, but if space is all you need, and don't care about speed, you could
get a flash card.  Speed is the critical issue for being able to make use
of any programs you have.

Personally I consider them both essential and don't know how people can
get by without all three: speed, lots of internal memory, and a huge flash
card.  <g>

I believe the DJ 340-IR will print fine from the LX; if special drivers
are needed, these are the ones available since long on SUPER. I use
this setup with a DJ 310 and a Jet-Eye printer IR device. The IR device
of the DJ 340 used to be separately available for a decent price. As
it fits on the printer's Centronics paralel contact, it was hoped that
it would also work with other printers, such as the closely related DJ
310. However, HP engineers told me this device would only work
correctly with the DJ 340.

Hi Bob,

> Your LXTeX read.me looks very complete and professional.

Thanks - I took a few English lessons especially for writing this
readme! ;-)

> I apologize for asking, but I still am not completely sure what it is.

Oh, okay, I wrote all the descriptions and README and so on for all the
people who already know LaTeX.

If you don't know LaTeX, you probably don't understand what LXTeX is,
since LXTeX is a modified LaTeX... ;-)

> It seems like an editor that allows formatting. Is that correct?

LaTeX and LXTeX are based on TeX which is a professional text
formatting system. It's used by lots of scientists for writing books,
reports, and so on (and also by non-scientists!;-) ).
It is especially useful for scientists because of its ability to set
mathematical formulas that look _extremly_ professional (better than
every formula you can set with e.g. MS word)
and its concept of structuring a document (especially useful for
writing large documents like books).

I use it now instead of all other word processing software I used
before (Word, Starwriter, Word Perfect...).
It has all possibilities you'll probably ever need to set a
professional looking text.

If you want to know, how a TeX-setted text looks like, there are two
possibilities:

(1) go to a local book store and look for a book about LaTeX. Either
you'll find samples of TeX-setted text inside this book or, better, the
whole book is written with LaTeX/TeX. I know that there are several
books about LaTeX that are written with LaTeX. The best book I've ever
read about LaTeX is written by Leslie Lamport and published by
Addison Wesley. I have a German translation of the book, but I'm sure
you'll find the English original!

(2) Download the LXTeX package and do all configurations unless the
printer configuration (the most difficult one), so you can use LXTeX
for writing and previewing a sample. (But not for printing, first).
There are several samples in the TEMPLATE directory.

You write a source ASCII file SAMPLE.TEX with all formatting commands
that LaTeX needs.
Then you call LaTeX. This compiles your source file to a binary
SAMPLE.DVI file that can be viewed or printed.
This is the principle of LaTeX/LXTeX.

> If so, how much formatting?

Everything! More than with MS word is possible!
What you cannot do with _LXTeX_ (but you can with LaTeX on an more
powerful machine than the LX) is making Postscript files from your
document and handle them with all the well-known PS-tools.

But you can port the DVI-file that's made by LXTeX onto another machine
and donvert it do PS there.


> I hope that I'm not the only one who doesn't know.

I don't think so ;-)
Hope this helped you and all the others who didn't know...

Now wait (G)

Can't YOU, the driver king (G) figure out a way to continue to sequence
to c: (f:).  That would allow folks (many, I suspect) who have
flashcards to have the speed and memory drivers on the card and run
config.sys from a: and then move right onto a c: drive.  That way, the
drivers and config.sys would be present and folks would not have to
worry about them being blown away and having to try restoring them.
They'd never have to be on c: except for those with no flash cards.

Just musing, I guess.

David,

These cards, plus my APEX 33.6 cell modem does this in all three
of my palmtops, even while plugged in.  Just have to remember to
shut it off before swapping, or else.  This is where Mack's kill
message progam comes in handy.

Man, sounds like something is wrong with your cards or your palmtop.
I never had a flash card capable of rebooting my machine.  With all the
talk going around, I usually try to power off first but once in a while
over the last few years, I do hot swap diff cards with diff machines with

no ill affects.   Must be my karma.

It is NOT certin that the prog will work on the hp200lx. apparently it
is a very time dependent procedure.
And You also need a smart card adapter with a rs232 connector.
I bought mine for $20 at

One comment on the DJ 3x0 series of printers: The body of these stands
under an angle if you use the paper feeder. Hence, the ink cartridge
does. After changing many cartridges, I decided to place a support
under the output side of the printer stand, to just put the printer
body upright, when I saw the first signs of ink shortage. This
increased the sustainance of the cartridge very substantially. As ink
is what the printer manufacturers really sell...

As we are dealing so much with CPack now:

Do you have a disk set, or just everything installed or back up? Once
installed, you should find a file APP200.BAT, most probably in a
directory CPACK200 or something alike. Run that batch file, and up
should pop a screen similar to the More (&) icon screen on the LX. The
Alt key on the PC has taken over the function of the Menu key on the
LX. From here onwards, you can almost work as with the LX. For file
transfers, it may be necessary to check Filer Alt Communications
Remote-Settings in order to set the speed and the Com port to be used
on the PC or laptop. With a serial cable via Com1 usually works. If you
use IR, check with Com port has been assigned to the laptop IR port.
Moreover, in some cases it is difficult to configure built-in Ir ports
on fairly new laptops correctly for communication with the LX. IR
devices plugged in physical cable ports usually give no problems.

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

I need just a tiny bit of help on something.

I am using a 3-wire modem cable (so there is not DTR signal), and I have
just found out that the only way to do this with my DOS program, is to
set MCR (Modem Control Register) on the UART to '1'.  Now, I found out
what I need to do, but can't find any documentation on how to address
this register.  I tried a couple of memory pokes, but after crashing the
system a few times.. I decided to seek the experts.

Can anyone point me to a good online ref for this?  Or perhaps include a
chunk of example code?  Any pointers help are appreciated.  Thanks!

P.S. Anyone know if the the 100LX has the 8250 UART or a 16440?  I can't
find it documented anywhere, even where I work.

Thanks!

Strange.  By "on" so you mean that it makes a difference whether you have
pressed the on/off button to disable the screen?  I generally do that, since
I generally turn off the screen any time I'm not actually looking at the
machine.

I've never had changing cards initiate an involuntary reboot, and I have
several cards of different manufacture and design.  ATA and linear. SanDisk,
Smart Tech, HP, Viking, etc.

Hummm.

I knew someone was bound to ask that.

From the Poqet Web site:

"The Poqet PC Plus is the latest Poqet PC. It differs significantly from
its predecessors, both in appearance and functionality. The Poqet PC Plus
is larger and heavier than the other Poqet PC's, and uses a proprietary
Nickel-Cadmium battery pack instead of standard AA alkaline batteries.
The Poqet PC Plus has a "transflective" display, which comes with a
backlight. The PC Plus also uses Release 2.0, Type II PCMCIA slots, 2 MB
of memory (640 KB conventional + 768 extended/RAM disk), and a
flash-programmable disk drive. "

It comes with Dos 5.   All of this means that you can take your flash
card from the HP200LX to the A drive of the Poqet Plus (it has two pcmcia
drives), and your programs, data and batch files will not know the
difference.   With the larger keyboard and screen, it seems very
desirable as a companion to my hplx  (at the right price that is).

The Poqet Classic, the Zeos Pocket PC, the old Sharp pocket PC, and
several others I don't recall at the moment, were compatible with the
HP95LX (and sharing ALL its shortcomings).

As the saying goes, was that as clear as mud? 8=)

Sorry, I meant, controling the speed to save batery life is not an
option.  If anything, adding cpu loops to slow down the machine sounds
like a good way to use *more* bateries!

Is that any better than the  Litthium batteries I started using in
August? Its almost November, and they are still on full charge!  (yes, I
use my palmtop daily).

I would have prefered if Mack had taken over your double crystal project.
 Surely it is much easier than the backlight!

Well Nathalie,I don't think we in Europe should talk so
big about our doctors or medical care in comparison to USA.

Let's take France,how is it with that monsterdoctor who approved HIV-infect=

I also know that you in France(as in the rest of Europe) have had problems=

 an old rich relative pay a psychiatrist who declare the relative as=
 crazy and take him into custody.
This is much harder in USA due to fact that the individual there is=
 much more protected in the law than in the collective Europe.

I have the unshakeable view,due to own experienc as well,that patients=

The next time you need to edit text in DOS, don't use the MS-DOS editor --
try Pedit (Program Editor) instead. This free program runs circles around
the Microsoft product, with better features for general usage and
programming alike. Both columns and lines can be marked for alterations
and/or deletions. Indentation of source files can be changed with no fuss.
You can insert/append another file into the current file and easily access
an ASCII chart and tables for line-drawing and foreign characters. Other
features include mouse support, position marking and jumping, word wrap of
marked blocks (so text documents and email can be modified and easily made
readable again), an integrated spelling checker and thesaurus, the ability
to copy and paste to Windows applications, macros, and long-filename
support. Even though DOS programs of this type aren't in vogue nowadays,
Pedit would still make a great addition to any power user's toolkit.

That is about it <g>.  It is a way to decide if a person is too fat for =
their

if they

Yeah, with four ink jet printers in our house, with four

cartridges now are $35.00 a pop, and there is a total of eight
cartridges in the four printers, and all are different.  What a

Lynn, I am not understanding your statement.  I turn off my LX by
pressing the "on" button, then remove my flash card or modem,
then replace the card with either another flash card or modem,
and then turn my LX back on with the "on" button.  I have no idea
what you meant by disabling the screen, unless that is a function
of the killmsg program that Mack wrote, that I only use to almost
stop the annoying "battery charging started/stopped" message, that
without the killmsg program takes a few seconds to wait for.

I guess this is a attribute of the SimpleTech cards, and the Apex

The above is a Solver formula.  You have to enter it into Solver (HPCalc key,
Ctrl-S), and then it allows you to enter each of the variables to find the BMI.

The formula is retained in the Solver list, so you can always revisit the
formula to enter new numbers.

Kind of like a spreadsheet, but more specialized.

You can connect Solver to 123, but I don't think that was the intent here.

Well, to save you some time maybe...

I had (still have) the problem of not being able to use Filer on Cpack under NT
4.0 (build 1381: service pack 4) .... but all the other apps work (including
memo, calc and appt).

I can open an NT/DOS window (mem reports 617680 bytes available, and 15.5mb XMS)
and just type "app200" to start it ... and it all works fine (except Filer :(
)

App200.bat just invokes several other programs including un200.exe and
tkernel.exe, and memory properties for those (on NT) appear to be the default
"auto" for conventional, expanded, extended and initial memory.

As always, the members of the HPPC forum on Niftyserve in Japan have found a
way to dramatically escalate the amount of storage space one needs for a
palmtop. After feeling comfortable with a 32MB upgraded unit with a 40MB
flash card, I now discover that I need to have massive storage capacity. The
reason is that for the past several months in addition to conducting
petition drives to keep the 200lx in production, Nori's merry men have
figured out to transfer large cd-rom dictionaries to flash memories cards.
Even with compression and several other tricks, these dictionaries eat
storage in 20 to 50 MB increments. Needless to say, I don't how to explain
to my wife why I need a pocket computer set which costs more than the new
iBook which will my wife's new machine.

I have had this problem, too, but it was intermittent.  I could go for
months with CPACK/FILER working just fine under NT, only to have it quit
working for equally long periods of time.  I could not correlate these
happenings with any other changes to the system.  Finally I just accepted
it as a fluke of NT and gave up.  Luckily, I have a new job where my
desktop computer is Win98, and that seems to handle CPACK/FILER just fine.

I don't use CPack on NT, but  could the problem with Filer not working be
that you're using the NTFS file system? I know that some DOS filers don't
know what to do with this.

Thanks Chris.

This is disconcerting, but certainly useful information.

My NT is networked and there's much to its configuration that

1) changes out of my control via SysAdmins and
2) I can't touch/adjust

which makes trouble-shooting spotty.

A good reminder of why standalone PC's came to be in the first place.

I think that would certainly cause problems.  In my case, I was running

After seeing Longden's clear instructions for starting
up Solver, I decided to take the plunge and try the given
formula.  I couldn't get it to work until I deleted the
"3D" immediately after the equal sign.  Once that was done
I got a BMI of 25.91 for myself (196 lbs. and 6'1").  Is
this the right answer, and what was the 3D for?  Was it
a mime or code page mis-translation for the equals sign?

Don't think that you can do it with Ctrl-C. Ithink that XGREP on Simtel has a
possibility to show lines before and after the searched string. Consult the
docs.

Xgrep doesn't (you can only cram so much functionality into 3.5kb :-) but
GNU Grep, also on Simtel, should.

Now we are "invaded" in the summer time with lots of germans with their

Hi Hal.
I'm a member of FHPPC of @nifty(formerly niftyserve).
Several people in FHPPC are interested in your large size Sandisk PCMCIA
ATA card.(over 220MB)
But they have following questions.

1.Are there any limitations using your large size Sandisk ATA cards on 200LX?
I heard some troubles using large size ATA card(not Sandisk), for examples,

 If 200LX boots up with large size ATA card, 200LX can not recognize other
 ATA cards, when the ATA card is changed.
 Cannot mount A: drive.

2.Are there the special device driver for your large size Sandisk ATA card
to fix this trouble? ACECARD3.COM?

 Some people of FHPPC use large size card with DS_ATA.SYS of DoubleSlot or
 ATA.SYS of PPCMCIA card adapter.
 But now ATA.SYS of PA-70 is difficult to get.

TIA.

Yes, the 3D was a mime artifact from the equals sign translation, and one that
      bit me too.  Sorry, I forgot to mention that...must've been before my cup

Hi friends,

for the proparation for an electronic project in the university I need
informations about available GPS receivers.

Please would you give me the following informations:

(1) How does a GPX device work? AFAIK it receives the signals of the
sattelites, calculates the position and writes the coordinates to the
serial RS232 port as numerical values. Is this correct?

(2) how much does a GPS device cost that one can easily connect to any
RS232 port (if my guesses in (1) are correct)?

(3) Does anyone have such a device that he wants to sell?

(4) if not (3) - where can I buy such a device?

(5) Does it work with the LX?

(6) What does the software LXGPS do? Does it only display the current
coordinates on the LX's screen or can I load maps into it and let
display my position?

Thanks a lot for your help!

<(1) How does a GPX device work? AFAIK it receives the signals of the
sattelites, calculates the position and writes the coordinates to the serial
RS232 port as numerical values. Is this correct?>

I'll be glad to answer this portion.

The GPS antenna receives signals from the satellites and passes the data to
the serial port. There needs to be a program running on the system to
capture the serial data and process it. This is a nearly continuous stream
of data consisting of the satellites position, not yours.

The satellite data is interpreted by the program to create your position. It
takes a minimum of three sets of data to get a coordinated position. The
process is similar to radio direction finding. You need the capability in
the program to "triangulate" to get your own position.

As you move, the satellites that you can receive data from may change, but
as long as there are at least three sets of data the program should be able
to calculate your position. The placement on a map is just overlaying the
position , in latitude and longitude, on the map.

You may want to look at:  http://www.travroute.com/

There is some general information and references to books on the subject

Thanks Bruce!

On the subject of hard-wiring the signal.. I'm not sure.  The device has only RX/TX/GND - no constant voltage for forcing DTR
(or other) on.  Perhaps I can short it across somewhere in my adaptors, so the LX supplies the voltage back to itself.. I'll
take at look at the FAQ too.

Thanks guys!!

Worse in that they won't last as long; better in that they effectively
last much, much longer since you can recharge them.  I haven't had my

Well, Mack hasn't taken over the backlight, and no, the double-crystal
project would require special circuitry to be created in order to make it
feasible, and it's nearly useless, so there's little demand for it.

Nope.  I've never had a Simple Tech flash card shut off my 200LX.  Like I
said, some of the 200LX power supplies seem to be considerably weaker than
others.  Also, it's more likely to occur using alkaline batteries, rather
than NiCd or NiMH.

The Modem Control Register is at the UART base I/O (not memory)
address (0x3f8 I think) plus 4 (so 0x3fa), and DTR is the least
significant bit.  So output 1 to 0x3fa, that should cause the 200LX to
assert DTR, which is an output on its serial port.

But what good will that do you?  You only have a three-wire modem cable!

If your DOS program is running on the 200LX, it's probably looking at
the modem status register (base address plus 6) for something (hard to
tell from what you wrote, but I'd guess one or more of CTS, DCD, or
DSR that it expects to be driven by the remote end's DTR output), and
you'll probably need to assert the corresponding input signal(s) by
finding some output signal that's being asserted by the 200LX and
looping it back to the input(s).

I believe it behaves as an 8250 (i.e. no FIFO).  16450s and 16550s behave
like 8250s (at least they're supposed to, so long as you don't turn the
16550's FIFOs on).

Thanks all for the feed back! Amazing and surprising: Using
NT4.00.1381; DOS window has 635328 bytes for largest executable program
size, deminished to 449008 under CPack-DOS, and the file system
is...NTFS! But no problems in my case, accept filer can wind up after
several entrances with sorts and filters (just to verify the points
some of you reported) into more-than-256-files-big network directories.
Alt-Q, Filer again helps it unwind. And the other CPack applications
seem to work as well.

As to the environment space and SET path: that seems to be a good suggesti=
on.
Is what I just dived up from DOS what you had in mind also, Longden?:
Would the old DOS command COMMAND /E: #, or the config.sys statement
SHELL=3DCOMMAND.COM /P E:# do anything useful in a NT-DOS window? Here,
# is a multitude between 16 and 32768 for the environment space to
allow to a second command processor, or just, in the SHELL statement,
to the main one. No time to experiment now (and just happy I do not have
the problem...). I will probably have to leave this question now.

And yes, we know why we wanted the freedom of port-alone pc's, don't
we? Enjoying the efforts to remain connectable with the networks...

Geert.

Subject:      Filer Protocol

Hi

Does anyone know the commands to send to filer get it to rename a
file? Before you say Menu/File/Rename... I mean the commands to send
from a remote computer when communicating via the serial port.

I have studied Andreas Garzotto's LXTools source code and now have
some understanding of the filer protocol, however LXTools doesn't do
file renaming. Clearly renaming of files must be possible since
Transfile does it. I would like to add file renaming to LXTools and
port it to Win32.

If anyone has a full description of the filer protocol then that would
be wonderful.

Thanks

John

Hi friends,

thanks for all your informations! We'll see what the work group of this
electronic project says - maybe we'll design an electronic device for
receiving the GPX data and converting it to a position of an LED or a
LASER diode that points onto a map...

Or We'll design a device for wireless transmission of the position of
the GPS receiver, so that we know everytime, where it is.

My question about if it works with the LX has less to do with this
project. But after the project is finished, maybe I could get the GPS
device and use it with the LX. ;-)

I have a Garmin GPS12 working with my LX and LXGPS found on the SUPER site.
Have tried it, but don't use it reguarly.

I did find out though that the LX lay nicely in front of the dashboard on
top of the driving wheel shroud (what's it called?). This covered the
speedometer, but the LX display shows speed! :-) I was very impressed then.
I did try and sync the LX clock once, but that didn't work properly and
haywire followed. Thought about getting some velcro to prevent the LX and
GPS12 from sliding around, but I have now bought a new car now and have
other priorities...

The GPS12 plug is not usual, but there is a shareware hardware plug
available, Purple something-or-other. Do a search for Purple +GPS12. Ordered
two plugs and after a bit of soldering; Voila! One for my LX and one for my
Libretto. The LX plug I took from an old cable header from a hard disk (from
motors to print), the raster was 2 mm, usual is 2,54 mm and won't fit.

Very satisfied with the GPS12 I bought at least. YMMV.

MIME-Version: 1.0

I use Compuserve with GP.  The DNS server will depend on where you access Compuserve from.  For the UK I am using 195.232.1.6 and 195.232.1.7, I suspect you get different for different places.

To find which to use you should use whatever you normally access Compuserve with (e.g. Win 95?).  Connect to it just as usual, but once connected use the Start/Run command line for Win95, and enter WINIPCFG.  It will pop up to show all you need to know.

The DNS entry has a little button with ... in it.  Every time you press it it cycles to the next DNS server, that way you can find out the secondary DNS server.

I use the CSERVE.SCR that ships with GP.  The SMTP server is smtp.compuserve.com, and the POP server is pop.compuserve.com

You must set a POP mail password, which you can only do via their web pages.  So again, you need to use your Win95 system or whatever to go there.  I can't remember where you GO, but it is not hard to find.  There are some FAQs on how to set it all up in  general for POP access.

It works very well. Make sure you have the current GP, as the Compuserve stuff did not work for early versions, as the login uses 7-bit + parity.

There is something called APRS, a ham (amatuer radio) activity that does
this. You can find sites on the web and see where these people are as they
have an automatic system of transmitting their GPS coordinates through
amatuer radio and building a web page out of it. All in real time! Sounds
very interesting, big brother stuff. Maybe Jeff can tell you more, or search
for APRS.

One card has consistently rebooted 4 out of 4 HP200LXs when hot swapped. =
 The

Hey, thanks. I'll have to check it out. It seems with my LX, I just do

Hi Kazu,

<<1.Are there any limitations using your large size Sandisk ATA cards on
200LX?
I heard some troubles using large size ATA card(not Sandisk), for examples,

 If 200LX boots up with large size ATA card, 200LX can not recognize other
 ATA cards, when the ATA card is changed.
 Cannot mount A: drive.

2.Are there the special device driver for your large size Sandisk ATA card
to fix this trouble? ACECARD3.COM?>>

Here is what I know. The only way that we know of to make Sandisk cards
greater than 220 work on the 200LX is with driver ACECARD3.COM. We have many
legitimate copies of ACECARD3.COM, so we include it when we sell a high
capacity Sandisk card.

I am sorry but I do not know any other answers to your questions.

This is somewhat heartening.  I have less memory for the largest executable
program (617680), but I don't think that's a factor.  This gives me more impetus
to keep trying...thanks.

 No, I know how to set the environment size (as you described), but what I need
 is a diagnostic utility that tells me what the real-time usage of environment
 space is, in terms of the number of bytes used and remaining.


 In any case, the environment space is just a hunch. I'll let everyone know if I
 get any new leads on why my Cpack Filer fails to bring up a file list under NT
 4.0 (tho all the other Cpack apps work just fine).

it can be summarized as "There are folks in Japan that use their

One in 20? First, you are finding two people in that group of 20, so
I would guess that should be restated as 1 in 19, for any given
random birthdate.

*But*, I don't see how this can be right - I have 365 (or 366) possible
birthdays for any one person (obvious). If I have 20 people, two of
them will have the same birthday? I suspect that the example cited
(from seventh grade) was for birth date, excluding *both* month and
year (I.E. in a group of 20 people, it is likely that there will be two
with the same birth day, say the 20th of the month).

As a reference point, my birthday is Jan. 1st, and in my *life* I have
only met a handfull of folks with my birthday (Jan. 1st, 19XX). I can
not believe that if I even got on a jumbo jet with several hundred
people on board that anyone would have my birthday, though it is
just as likely (one out of 365 or 366 possible birthdays). I would even
take it a step further and say that I could probably get on a cruise
ship and not have there be anyone with my birthday (several thousand
on most ships). All bets are off if it is a cruise over New Years Eve,
as it would be likely that someone else was celebrating their birthday.

    Your statement just struck me as wrong, but if you are sure you
remember it correctly (from the seventh grade), I guess I just won't
agree with it, but that isn't too big a deal...

I normally don't try to paraphrase a member, but since a clarification was
requested, I'll offer my read on this (with apologies to the author):

"There are folks in Japan who have developed new and useful CD-ROM type
applications for the palmtop that will require lots of disk storage.

I'm interested in exploring those applications, but as this will require the
purchase of potentially expensive high-capacity flash cards, I'm at a loss as to
how I should justify the expense to my wife, since this will rival the cost of
her new ibook computer!"

I think the point of the post was the news flash about the CD-ROM applications
being developed.  The follow-on was a personal commentary of the type, "just
when you think it couldn't get any better...."

Recently I used my LX in the university for writing a protocol with
LXTeX2e.

A guy sat down next to me and pulled his PalmV out of his pocket.

We talked a little bit about both devices. I asked him to say me what
he can do with his PalmV. This conversation was something like:
(D: Daniel (me), M: Marcus (the guy with the Palm V))

D: what can you do with your palm?
M: Here I have a phone book...
D: okay...
M: ...and a todo list that's very useful...
D: Ah...
M: ...an appointment book where I can enter appointments; the palm
reminds me when I have an appointment
D: yes
M: And a very powerful database where you even can design your own
databases...
D: Aha.
M: and I can synchronize to the PC, so I can write and read email...
D: I can do so without a PC...
M: I can also connect a modem directly - but it's expensive...
D: I have several modems - does your Palm have a PCMCIA slot?
I could sell you a modem.
M: no - a it has a special connector!
D: Oh, sorry..
M: There are also several hunderets of shareware programs for the Palm!
D: WOW! ;-)
M: And what are you doing there?
D: I'm  writing a protocol with LaTeX.
M: WHAT??! LaTeX does also run on this thing?
D: Yes - it's a DOS PC, so why shouldn't LaTeX run on it?
M: ...hmm, DOS? Does it also run Windows?
D: It did. Win 3.0. But I didn't want to hurt the palmtop, so I deleted
it again.
M: oh... :-)
D: What OS runs on the PalmV?
M: hmm - don't know. a special one.
D: Isn't it difficult to write on the palm?
M: hmm. it works. not very quickly, but it's pretty reliable. But your
tiny keys are also not easy to handle, I think.
D: I write faster on the palmtop than on my desktop PC. and that's
true! Maybe it was good that I learned to play the piano.. ;-)
M: oh.
....
...
..

so or very similar was this dialog between the PalmV user and me.
Okay, at some points I exeggrated a little bit. But really only a little bit!

Hi dear diabetic friends,

I recently had the idea to write a program for tracking our blood sugar
values etc.

That can take much time because I want to learn C and C++ and I've
decided to 'use' this project to learn C.

All of you who want to use such a program, please tell me what you
expect from such a program.

Basical blood sugar tracking issues I will include, of course:
(1) entering of blood sugar value, maybe automatic storage of
time and date that belongs to the blood sugar;
(2) graphical plot of blood sugar values,
(3) printing of a list of all blood sugar values with time and date for the
doctor,
(4) statistics (how much values more than 160mg/dl (are these also the
units you use for metering blood sugar? VERY IMPORTANT!), how much
values of blood sugar are below 50mg/dl, what's the everage value...)

and additionally I will add the following:
(4) entering the amount of insulin for each meal (if you use insulin)
(5) entering of amount of eaten carbohydrates
(6) maybe saving the program of your insulin pump (if someone has one)
(7) .......

your ideas please!

I think if you use programs that calculate a lot (like compilers or
mathematical programs - or LXTeX), it's always useful to increase the speed.
The time you enter something is maybe 1 minute vs. a calculation time
of 10 minutes. (with double speed abt. 5 minutes) (of course the real
ratio between entering time and calculation time depends on what
program you use - if you calculate a complex math formula, it may be
true, but with LXTeX for example, the ratio is very different, of
course!).

There you'll surely have an advantage with the double speed.

If you only use PIMs, text editors, and something like that, probably
single speed really _saves_ batteries.

Hi Rudi,

The EZ-KIT is an engineering evaluation board about 4" x 6".  It is only
a bare PCB without case so it is not quite portable.  It also probably
comsume too much power to be battery powered.  What I would like to have
is a PCMCIA DSP card.

part 2.

Solution 2.
     If you need C source to use, here are some extracted from LXSTAT.

void SetDTR(int val) /* 1, 0, -1 = toggle */
{
  disable();
  b = inportb(port_mcr);
  if (val==1)
    b |= 0x01;     /* set b0 */
  else if (val==0)
    b &= ~0x01;    /* clear b0 */
  else
    b = 0x01;     /* toggle b0 */
  outportb(port_mcr, b);
  enable();
}

Please note that I'm not sure if disable() and enable() are necessary.
No one would tell me a definite answer. :(  But using them are safe
anyway. Disabling hardware interrupt will slow down the BIOS clock,
but please do not worry about that in the above case. And by the way,
if your BIOS clock really runs out of phase due to some programs (e.g.
LL3 turbo mode), just press the ON to turn the palmtop off and turn
it ON again. Then the BIOS-clock and RTC will be synchronized.
Our palmtop synchronizes everytime it swakes from "deep-sleep"
(turned off) mode.

The unsigned int port_mcr was determined ... Would you please just
try the port address 0x03FC for the default com1 serial port. Becasue
I'm worrying about the length of this mail and getting rejected. Ok:

Solution 3. Here is a DEBUG script to pull the DTR high. Save it as
  any file you like (e.g. DTR1.DBG), and do
        dos> DEBUG < DTR1.DBG
----------------------- snip -------------------------------
a100
mov dx, 03FC
in al, dx
or al, 1
out dx, al
mov ax, 4C00
int 21

r cx
0080
n dtr1.com
w
q

----------------------- snip --------------------------------
Please be careful that I've TYPED IN the above (AND YOU SHOULD NOT
TYPE IT ONCE MORE!) from a more complete script from my palmtop.
(Cannot not transfer the script to UNIX now.) And please change
it to MSDOS (CR/LF) text-style bafore you start to DEBUG, because
I'm now typing under UNIX. (Oh, I wish I never started this mail :)

I think now ... Please DO NOT TRY THIS YET! I'll post the complete
script next time I come back. The small program then let you set DTR
to low or high or just show the state of DTR, if you don't want such
a larger program like LXSTAT.

16450 compatible

I mean, I guess. Becasue I've found such an entry in my dictionary files.
"UART, Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (e.g. 16450 on HP200LX)"
And, I recall a failure accessing some feature of 16550 on my palmtop (trying
to "stat" the current speaker freq. in lxstat without success.) So, ours
may be an UART without FIFO. Hope this be not too long

Hi, my reply just got rejected. I'm dividing it into two parts.

part 1

Hi David,

> I am using a 3-wire modem cable (so there is not DTR signal), and I have
                               
I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. But, in the 3-wire case,
it is sometimes necessary to LOOP BACK the output signal DTR (Data Terminal
Ready) to the input signal DSR (Data Set Ready) because the application
program may be expecting a positive voltage on the DSR-line voltage before
it is convinced to take the next step.

The DTR-line is nomally used by our application program to tell
the MODEM (or a program on the other side of a null-modem-connection)
that this computer is turned on and is ready (thus "Terminal Ready").

While the DSR-line is usually used by the MODEM (or a program on
the other side of a null-modem-cable) to tell us that the MODEM
(or ...) is ready (thus "Data Set Ready"). So, we do not READ
DTR-line, we SET the status of the DTR ....

Sometime you even have to loop back the RTS (Request To Send) to
RTS (Ready To Send). And this is part of what a NULL-MODEM is doing.

And, yes! I had such a headache too long time ago with all those
DTE, DCE, 2-3; 5-6 (?); 15- ... wiring.  :) :)
A good book (I don't know it myself) was recommended by R. Christopher Lott
and many other in another thread with the subject "Need a C serial library
for 100LX use".

Here are some ways to control the DTR-line. (I need to set DTR
high myself quite often too.)

Solution 1.

Try the program LXSTAT. It has powerful control over the serial
lines. It displays the status of output lines, DTR, RTS, TXD and
input lines DSR, RTS, RXD. It has full control over DTR, RTS and
TXD individually. Besides, it helps me to set all those weird speeds.
For example, "2,N,8,1" (2 bps, no parity, 8 databit, 1 stopbit),
"50000,S,9,2" (57600 bps, space parity, 9 databit, 1 stopbit).
You don't have to remember those discrete values, but it will be
auomatically rounded to allow values.) Oh, yes, and I use it
too on laptop or desktops to examine and control serial lines.

Becausse of the bad documentation of it I'm listing some more
examples (all case-insensitive):

        dos> lxstat serial lines        (print status of serial lines)
        dos> lxstat serial DTR 1        (raise the DTR voltage)
        dos> lxstat serial DTR 0        (lower the DTR voltage)
        dos> lxstat s RTS +             (raise Request To Send)
        dos> lxstat s RTS -             (raise Request To Send)
        dos> lxstat ser TXD on          (rasie the TXD line)
        dos> lxstat ser TXD off         (lower the TXD line)
        dos> lxstat serial txd toggle   (toggle TXD status)
        dos> lxstat s d t               (toggle DTR status)
        dos> lxstat s d /               (toggle DTR status)
        dos> lxstat serial dtr high     (raise DTR)
        ....
(to be contniued)

C'mon, people, do the math.  The trick is to find out the odds that
there are *not* two people in the room with the same birthday

  (Assume a 365-day year)

  When there's two people in the room, there are 364 birthdays the
  second person can have so as not to share with the first.  Thus, the
  chances of two people *not* having the same birthday are 364/365

  When there are three people in the room, the chances are
  364/365 * 363/365

  With four people: 364/365 * 363/365 * 362/365

  With n people:  365*364*363*...(365-n)
                  ----------------------
                        365n

  Also written as P(365,n)
                  --------
                   365n

  In the solver, it looks like  P = PERM(365,N)/(365N)

I don't know how to solve for the n such that P(365,N)/365n =~ .5, but
a simple binary search shows that the break-even point is reached when n=23

Leap-years make it more complicated; I'll bet that's where the n=24 figure
came from.

Figure the odds that one other person will NOT have your birthday
at 364/365, or perhaps more accurately, 364/365.25 (leap years).

Then the odds that your two best friends will not have it is that
number squared, ..., and the odds that 500 other people will not
have it is about 18%.  In other words, if there are 500 people
on this list then the odds are 82% that at least one of them
will have your birthday.

If there are 203 people on the list, then the odds are about 50%.
If 900, then 95.4%.

The worst offender is an 30 Meg IBM card with a copyright of 1994 on the =

 The other card is used and has no label (bare metal), but it is 20 Meg =

Hello,

Actually there is less of an impact than you could imagine as searches and
name look ups are about twice as fast as well as screen refreshes and the
loading and swapping between apps is significantly faster.  You really
don't lose much battery life even if you just use the built in apps.

Hi,

I have an environment variable on my HP200LX

        TZ=MET-1DST,M3.5.0/2:00,M10.5.0/3:00

And that means some of the programs are gonna interpret my
Real Time Clock in a different way again at

        Sun Oct 31 02:00:00 MET 1999

for Germany according to my "udate":

chen@host:~/lib/test/g/t>udate -d1999

to: Sun Oct 31 02:00:00 MET 1999 (change to timezone -3600)

Before I put a series of long questions about the time, would
you please give me a definite answer of the first question,
because I'm not familiar with the SysMgr.

Does the SysMgr change the RTC (Real Time Clock) on switching
between Daylight Saving Time and Winter Time?

Thank!

Daniel,

I would like the program to require a few key strokes as possible. Usually
when I do my blood sugar I am in a hurry. Several of the Bayer Glucometers
have a serial output. If a meter has an output it would be nice to have the
option to have it input to the program directly.

Thanks to Longden noticing the "out of environment space" problem
when running cpack's cfiler.exe under NT4, I've got cfiler working
now.  The problem was simply that my PATH was too long!  I called
up Control Panel, then the System applet, and hit the Environment
tab, and cleaned up the PATH settings in both the System and User
sections.  I also removed a bunch of variables that I didn't need.

To verify, I created a .bat file which called cfiler.exe, which
worked (meaning nothing happened).  I then added a line
           PATH=%PATH%;c:/xxxxxxxxxx
before the cfiler call, and after running the .bat a few times, the
error returned (since it keeps appending to the PATH).  Note that
this occurs both under cmd.exe (32-bit) and command.com (16-bit).

The problem had come and gone, apparently as I added and removed
certain applications.  IBM's Visual Age for Java and Symantec's
Cafe both add several environment variables, and add lots of stuff
to the PATH.  Also, HPCalc had stopped working recently, and now
works again.  Memo has always worked.

David Solinas found the fix that worked for me!

Essentially, I went into ControlPanel/System/Environment and purged a bunch of
application installed variables from the environment.  Cpack/filer now displays
a file list ! <g>

Of course the rest of my NT apps are probably shot to hell but heck, first
things first, right?

Thanks David, and to all who offered help, and to others for just bearing with
me on this.

Collective knowledge on a global scale is an awesome thing.

PS  An environment diagnostic utility to measure bytes used/remaining would

Were yu really a math major and yu don't think 24 is correct?
At 24, the chances are 50-50.  At 203 it'd be about 95.4% in my favor.

The thesis here is: What is the minimum number of people
would you need in a room to have (a chance of) two people
with the same birthday.  The correct answer is 24.
Common sense don't woik here and has retarded
human progress for milleniums.  It is also common sense
that people on the bottom of a round woild would fall
offa the bottom...but dey don't.

(BTW: If we were on a jumbo, I'd bet ya BIG monies, and
you would lose BIG monies.)

Many of us would really appreciate this effort if you plan on sharing,

luck.

Maybe it's time to use the Calculator in your 200LX... :)

The 80-20% rule works fine for me- but you have to apply it correctly.

For example:

How many individuals on this list has a good knowledge in Assembler
programming? (I have no idea!!!) So:

- Assumption- you subscribe to this list so you are interested in
solutions for 95/100/200LX, and some of you are to a certain degree
interested in programming.

Let's say that we are 700 subscribers on this list- 80% has no/little =
idea
about programming (no offense)- 20% has. So 140 subscribers know "what's
going on". How many of these 140 people can actually write a useful
program in any programming language? Right- 20%, which is 28 subscribers
of this HPLX list.

Of this 28 subscribers,  20%- which means that only 6 individuals on this
list can easily write an Assembler program (if we are now 700
subscribers...)!

Another example:

How many of us have a Win CE palmtop at home (of let's say 700
subscribers)?

Assumption: This list is a HP DOS Palmtop list, but some of you got hold
on a Win CE palmtop- specially in the beginning of Win CE.

So if we are 700 people here, 80% was very interested the first time you
heard about a new HP Palmtop- 560 people. However, 80% of these people
lost interest when they realized that Microsoft was involved- so now we
have 112 interested people left. Of these 112 people, 20% actually
bought a HP Win CE palmtop. Which means that we today have about 22
subscribers on this list which has a HP Windows CE palmtop at home-
shame on you!!! :)

Sorry, I couldn't help it- I just felt for some Fluff! But I wouldn't
be surprised if my numbers- that we on this list have 6 good Assembler
programmers and 22 people with a HP Win CE palmtop at home... Can be
difficult to confirm, since deffinately more than 6 will willingly
inform us all that they are very good in Assembler programming, and not
many want to admit that they have a Win CE palmtop at home. :)

Eeeh, now I must give both you and myself a break- CYA!

Hi,

Don't worry or bother about this rumor- 1st of November 1999, the HP
200LX will be obsoleted. Last order has to be placed by distributors-
latest by Tuesday the 30th of November. What to do....

Sorry about the confusion caused by a burst of flippancy. Longden's
paraphrase was on target. A combination of new software and use of
compression allows large cd-rom based dictionaries including the local
equivalent of unabridged dictionary or the a large one volume encyclopedia
to be be installed on a large flash memory card. However, even with these
techniques, some of these dictionaries occupy 80 to 90 megabytes.

I'm not sure about some parts of your question but if you open the
Worldclock application after daylight savings time starts/ends, the HP
will offer to reset the time on the HP.

For some reason, I thought I had recalled this occurred automatically
but, at least, not on my unit.  I have to open worldtime.

Hope others will join as it is getting close again! (the dark and gray
will take over the evenings!)

Is there a similar "PLACE" to do this or even check this in a Win95/98

While I can do a SET command from a dos window, I'm not sure this
reveals things that might be in effect if I just run cpack from a

Some time ago there was mention of a small, foldup keyboard that might have
worked with the Palmtop. I thought that iGo.com was the place to look for it
but couldn't find any mention of it.  Does anyone know who was developing
the foldup keyboard?

Hey, drug lords don't do the stuff either.

How come the RIO, a Brazilian theme restaurant doesn't
have a churrascaria (Brazilian cholesterol smorgasbord)?
I wrote the general manager and offered my services to install
one about a year ago but never heard from him.
They're the greatest thing since canned beer, slice bread, poker chip :)

Thaddeus, one of Mack's dealers, will be doing it (if it becomes a viable
product). Mack will be supplying the power driver circuit boards.  Your
confidence is not misplaced; Times2 Tech would not be involved if the
product was not top quality, and we will be doing extensive beta testing
before even declaring there will be a product for sale.

I don't work at the casinos. I'm a programmer at the corporate office.
I just spent 9 days at the Rio last month, and I agree, it's wierd that the
Rio doesn't have a brazilian restaurant. But they have some pretty amazing
cocktail waitresses don't they? : )

This is not correct.  It is too simple a solution to say people only
want a 1X unit because they haven't experienced 2X speed.
Some people seem to think a faster LX is automatically the best without
considering any features other than speed.

I got 2 chances to see and try 2X speed.  The first was Bill Childers
demoing his 2X to me;  I was impressed with how fast Software Carousel
swapped.  The 2nd time was when I ordered my 1X.  Thadeus accidently
sent a 2X (I guess they didn't think anyone would want anything else).
I noticed the speed difference right away.  It was nice BUT NOT nice
enough to override my wanting a 1X unit.  I sent it back and they
removed the 2X crystal.

The extra speed IS nice but for me it is not that important for the way
_I_ use my LX.

I'm not trying to convince others that 1X is better but it would be
nice if you didn't think I was too crazy for wanting the 1X crystal.

cheers... Russ

As a side point. I have a 40 meg card. Endnote for DOS won't
work  on it. Just loops on an invalid media message.

However Endnote works fine on a 5 meg, 8 meg or 20 meg card.
So some "programs" can have trouble with cards that the
200lx can run.

Quick, somebody sedate him... He got loose!

<g>

Only kidding, Russ.  I personally can't see any possible way the 2x
wouldn't be better than the 1x, but after all, if speed was everything
we'd all be carrying 133MHz StrongARM Psion 7's.

Yes but you guys in Sweden have straight roads with no problem to pass.
We here in Norway have "twisty" roads were its very hard to pass these
slow moving Hymers..(by car)

But it is fun to go "hunt" Hymers with my motorbike..passing Hymers is
fun then.. I like to scare them by passing them in turns with the

I have ordered the new Nokia 7110 and I hope I will recevie it sometime
in november..(15-20).=20

I am importing it from Sweden to Norway since Norway only gets about
70 phones before christmas. 3 are already sold for approx 9900,- Nok!!
($1280/=A3775).. I will get it from Sweden at the reasonable price of
3500,- Nok ($454/=A3274) =20

It should work as the 8810 when it comes to communicating with www/lx.

It will be nice finally to have a irda phone.. At last I will be truly
portable..

I just hope that it will work "out of the box" for sms/data and
transferring name/numbers..

I will report here to let you all know how I am doing.. Anybody else
here getting the 7110?

Christmas have been moved to approx 15 november :-)))

Way off any topic here but have you had any "contest" in your country to
"provide" 2000 new years baby?

Here in Norway we had a lot of "competition" from Hotels and others to
provide free rooms/free stuff for couples to make a new year baby..

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

If you are one of the technical inclined palmtoppers who owns
a mobile or cordless phone, please try the following experiment:

-Start the communication program under System Manager.
-Set it up for infrared mode (baud rate doesn't matter).
-Put your mobile (or cordless) phone besides the palmtop.
 Nothing should happen.
-Now make a phone call with your mobile (cordless) and put the
 phone close to the palmtop: the infrared port receives data!

This only happens, if the serial port is set up for IR.
In order to exclude the receiving photo diode as a source for
this fault behavior, I removed it from my palmtop, and the
IR port *STILL* gets data if a mobile phone is online.

Questions:
----------

-Why does this happen?

-Does it also happen with Omnibooks/notebooks?
 It does not on my old HP95LX!

-What can be done on the palmtop side to solve this problem?


Any suggestions appreciated.

Does anyone have JAM working with a DS 32meg upgraded 200LX?  When I load
jam.sys and the jmount the drive on my upgraded 200LX, I cannot access the
drive.  The JAM drive still mounts correctly on my old, non-upgraded, 200LX.

Any ideas?  I've changed the order of the drivers in config.sys, but maybe I
haven't yet hit upon the right combination.

Subject: A Palmtop-Mobile Experiment


If you are one of the technical inclined palmtoppers who owns
a mobile or cordless phone, please try the following experiment:

-Start the communication program under System Manager.
-Set it up for infrared mode (baud rate doesn't matter).
-Put your mobile (or cordless) phone besides the palmtop.
 Nothing should happen.
-Now make a phone call with your mobile (cordless) and put the
 phone close to the palmtop: the infrared port receives data!

This only happens, if the serial port is set up for IR.
In order to exclude the receiving photo diode as a source for
this fault behavior, I removed it from my palmtop, and the
IR port *STILL* gets data if a mobile phone is online.

Questions:
----------

-Why does this happen?

-Does it also happen with Omnibooks/notebooks?
 It does not on my old HP95LX!

-What can be done on the palmtop side to solve this problem?


Any suggestions appreciated.

Stefan.

This could be a real problem, it seems.  I'm sure this is induction in the
diode circuit caused by RF. I wonder if it could be shielded. Signal gets in
from any direction so one would have to open the case. We would be lucky if
only the area around the LED's would need protection. Hmm.

Darren.

Don't know if this is applicable, but......... I always start Cpack from a
Desktop Icon on a WIN98 PC, without running it by opening a DOS window
first.
If I ever have even one other program open, then Cpack seems fine, but won't
transfer files properly, always very slow, or dropping the connection. With
no program open it's fine again.

It looks like that. Our familiy runs 8 hp200lx with different upgrades,
but ALL have double speed. I and we cannot imagine without double
speed.

I'm pretty sure SET tells you all, at least for Win95.

I did this:

1) From a DOS box: set > \set.txt
2) From Cpack, open a DOS session and do: set > \set2.txt
3) FC compare the two outputs... on my system they were the same.

Most of the variables were set in autoexec, but some appear to have been done
under the covers.

Hey guys...we need an environment utility!!

Stefan,

that doesn't sound very encouraging.

How about a cable? I think at present, I would talk to Roger Law, who
did present his know how at the hp handheld meeting at Munich, to make
cables fitting direct into the serial port of the hp200lx. This will
avoid heavy and unwieldy adapters.

To me the cable solution looks much closer as an provisional solution
than a redesign of the hp200lx to get rid the radio frequency noise. Or
buy a Nokia 8810 if you need it now.

On the other hand I hope, somebody will take the challenge to fix that
problem, the IrDA interface looks very attractive.

It may take some time, but I believe it will be solved.

I will cross my fingers!

Good luck my friend.

Regards

Helmuth

I have Jam working on my DS 8MB unit.

I would think it is similar to the 32M in setup.  I'd be happy to help
offlist to get you up and then post working config to list if you like.

in \WINNT\SYSTEM32 exist the files config.nt and autoexec.nt (pendants to
config.sys
and autoexec.bat in DOS). You can edit those files and the settings will be
active
if you start a command line session (or a DOS app).

Hi Al & list

I strongly disagree with 24 being the correct answer to the above thesis.

I say correct answer to the above is two people.  :))

Comments?

There seems to be two different questions here.
(1) What are the odds that in a group of people two of them have the same
birthday?
(2) What are the odds that in a group of people one of them will have the
same birthday as you do (Or any given day--that works out to the same
thing)?
For both questions, we ignore the year, simply month/date.

For (1) if you have 24 people, it's better than an even bet.
For (2) you need a lot more people, like 183.

I am not sure what I can say to help, but CPack works just fine out of the
box for me under NT4.0 SP4.  I did not set up anything special.

I am using ver 1.01, running it FULL SCREEN from a desktop icon.  I am not
using the pif file (which will not run for me and I have not bothered to
investigate why) but am using a desktop shortcut to the "app100.bat" which
runs just fine - including filer.

After having seen references to Nokia cellular phones on this list and
not paying much attention to what was being said, I now find myself
curious.

Exactly what does one do with his DSDM 200lx and a cellular phone with
an IrDA port? Is it as simple as the phone acting as a modem?

Jimmy,

I have a demo diskette of Project:Vision; the label states it
to be from Inmax Publishing Limited, copyright 1995; a quick
net search suggests that they used to be located in the Pacific
Northwest USA, possibly British Columbia, CA; but didn't yield
any confidence that they still exist. Nothing on the diskette
contained a pointer.

I also have a diskette of "Project KickStart" by Roy A.
Nierenberg of "Experience in Software, Inc." It dates back to
1992-1994 and contains a phone number of 510-644-0694. A quick
net search does reveal a current site at
http://www.criticaltools.com/pks.htm

I have successfully used a couple old versions (1.0 1987 and
the more graphically intensive and slower 1990 version 2.0) of
"Super Project Expert" by Computer Associates (cai.com), on the
200lx.

Best Wishes,

        `~Maynard

As Steve mentioned below, NAIC is the National Association of Investment
Clubs.

You can get more information at http://www.better-investing.com.  They have
been around since 1951 and focus on long term investing.

The Stock Selection Guide (SSG) is a copyrighted form that helps to analyze
a stock and provide a BUY/MAYBE/SELL recommendation based on information
from sources such as ValueLine.  A summary of the form as at
http://www.better-investing.org/educate/ssg.html.

There are two software packages that implement this form, however, I've only
found Windows versions being supported.

I was hoping to find someone who was using the DOS versions of the software
in conjunction with the Windows versions.

Regards,

Loran

The cpack problem will vary with each user's NT system, since our different
applications will have made different demands on the DOS environment pool
which is needed by cpack.

I've located some environment utilities to try out, tho I'd rather see
if there's a way to use native NT commands to determine the current DOS
environment pool size and the amount of bytes remaining.

One simple way to determine current usage size is:

        set > set.txt

and see how many bytes (using dir) is set.txt.  This is a rough indicator,
since the file contains added carriage-return line-feeds.

The trick now is how to determine the bytes remaining?

   >Any suggestions on the format of these commands that seem to work

To recap the earlier discussion, an important issue with running cpack under
NT is the use of environment resource, which is devoted to maintaining
variables accessed by other apps.

These variables and their values can be displayed using the DOS SET
command, or by using ControlPanel/System/Environment.

If you're having trouble with functions in cpack (Filer wouldn't work for
me), try using ControlPanel/System/Environment to remove extraneous
variables and/or values to gain back environment space, which cpack appears
to need.

Geert's suggestion of the SHELL= command and setting the environment size
using /e:xxxx is a possible circumvention that may simply allow us to
reserve a larger environment, but I haven't been able to make it work under
NT (yet).

There are several screen-capture programs on SUPER.  I usually use
Capsys, but this is a system manager program, and (I think) only works
with the 640x200 graphic-mode screen.  Your best bet is probably
GRABBER.  IIRC it will capture either graphic or text-mode screens.  It
creates a .exe file that displays the image, and comes with utilities
to convert the .exe to either .pcx or .gif

GRABBER is installed as a TSR and activated with a hotkey.  The
procedure is covered in a 90+K doc file.  If you don't want it using
up memory when you don't need it, you can either start a maxdos
session, start grabber from the command line, fire up the prog you
want screen captures from - do the grabbing - close the program - and
remove grabber; or set up a batch file to do it.

I think the captured images will have black & white reversed.  If that
doesn't matter, just use the utility that comes with grabber to convert
to .gif  Otherwise you can fix that by:

        1  Use the included utility to make a .pcx file
        2  Use LXPIC to view it as a negative image and save (F4)
        3  Use PICEM (I think also on SUPER) to convert to .gif

No amount of encouragement will change Russel's mind on this one!

Even though I use a 2X HP200LX, I do understand where Russel is coming
from.  His kind of spirit is what actually bonds us all in this great
group. :-)

We all have great pride in being minimalists... in how a "mere" HPLX DOS
palmtop can still provide all of the processing power we need... even in
today's world!

I believe that spirit just runs a little bit deeper in Russel, that's
all. :-)  His view is that if a bare 1X HPLX can still completely fulfill
his own processing needs, then doubling it's speed and losing any battery
life, whatsoever, would actually reduce it's value to him, since it would
also reduce his bragging rights! <and that's one mighty powerful factor
in the equation!> ;-)

You've got my utmost respect, Russel! :-)

Cheers!

Hva mener du? Nokia 7110 er en mobiltelefon.. Den har ikke noe
"operatvisystem". Den fungerer som Nokia 8810 mot Hplx.

(He asked how the screen looks like and if it is a pc and what os it
runs..my respons was that it is a phone and that it works as the 8810 vs
the Hplx)

Please respond in english because this is a english "speaking" list..

Project Kickstart mentioned below is really a project planner rather than a program for
ongoing project management.  It would be of use to more people as it aids in planning any
endeavor which takes more than a few tasks.  The DOS version can still be found at:

http://www.projectkickstart.com/html/palmtop.htm

Interface is not fancy - but it does a good job of helping you get a working plan in
place- then refine it - and finally print it out in several report outputs or
export  into any of several software products.

Export to other software executes a macro which prepares the project for the
target software selected from a menu (see list below for what it supports) and launches
the software and completes the setup pretty slick work for a program youy can get for $30
now and run on the palmtop.

No, it's for a month/day combination. You might be misunderstanding
the question. It's not asking how many people need to be in a room for
it to be likely that any of them share YOUR birthday (that would be
250 or so), but how many people need to be in a room so that it's
likely that ANY TWO OF THEM share a birthday.

The odds someone sharing your birthday is 1/365, but there are many
combinations of pairs of people. For 23 people, there are 253 ways to
pair them up, so the probability that no pairs will share a birthday
is (364/365)  253. This comes out to 49.95%, so the odds are 50-50
that with 23 people in a room, two of them will share a birthday.
Actually, this is approximate, but it's close enough.

This is a different question. With 250 people, there's a 50-50 chance
that someone else will have your birthday. How many are on a cruise
ship? With 2000 people, the probability is 99.6%. This is found with
our friend, the binomial distribution.

I did not remember everything either. Some check and trial leads me to
believe: 'Automatic' for World Time means: according to a preset
scheme. If daylight saving time for your local city has changed since
you last opened WT, WT asks you whether you want it to change the
system time accordingly. The LX itself is unaware of time zones and
daylight saving time, just WT knows about this and must be called to
change the clock.

With '*' you can cycle between Manual, Automatic, and None for daylight
saving time handling for any highlighted city. The preset scheme is in
D:\sys\timezone.dat. If you wish to use a different scheme, as
applicable at present for Europe, you must copy timezone.dat to C\_dat,
and edit your changes. The last line for Europe should now be '10:25-31
6 0:00', and will change the time to base (offset 0:00) any Sunday
between 25 and 31 October, WTish for 'last Sunday of October'.

Thanks for the smile!  :-)

I copied my entire 20 meg flash card over to the 32 meg c: drive.  The
flash card has a JAM partition on it.  My idea was to mount the JAM drive, and
then copy the files out of it onto the c: drive, thereby getting rid of the JAM
drive.

Further experimentation has shown that I _can_ mount the JAM drive as long as
it is on the flash card (a:).  So, I guess that it's not a problem with
incompatible drivers (DS 32 meg vs JAM), but rather that the JAM drive itself
cannot exist on the 32 meg drive.  Anyway, I'm now copying the files out of the
JAM drive onto c:.

The reason for my original question was more curiousity than anything...I could
have mounted the JAM drive on the "old" 200LX and then transferred the files to
the "new" 200LX.

Anyway, I've now "solved" the problem.

No it can not replace your LX..

Check the specs at www.nokia.com. The 7110 is not a organizer or a
computer. It is a mobil phone the size of the 6110. It has a extended
memory and a wapbrowser. ((9000(i)(il) successor is the 9110)

Here are some of the specs of the Nokia 7110:

Up to a 1000 names
Up to 660 calendernotes
Up to 50 sms in different folders (was 500 now 50)
Big screen (70 % bigger than the 6110)
Irdamodem (as the 8810)
Supports 14.400 bps
Wap 1.1 browser
Vibrator alert
"Matrix style" slide with trigger :-))
Predictive text input (Dictionary)

I have not got mine yet..still waiting.


----added just before sending this message----
I just got a email from Stefan and he tells me that the 7110 will not
work because of problems with inteference.. I have not read the
complete mail from him yet.. If this is the case it is truly
sad..AAArrggg. I of course hope that the 7110 will work as magic when
I get it. I will buy it and hope for the best. If it does work I can
sell it for more than I bought it for (I hope..) I just have to test it
and hope for the best when I get it..

Please do not send html and mime "things" in your emails to the

Hi all,

The site at http://games.hplx.net/ has gone through a rather
major overhaul, so if you do find any problems, let me know!
As well as a new layout design which should be clearer and
easier to navigate, I've also added information and downloads
for the following games:

 - Capitalist Compendium
 - Goal
 - Grand Prix
 - Greyhound
 - Insanity
 - One-Nil
 - Rockstar
 - The Soccer Game II

There are also a host of minor improvements, such as an
improved literature section and more and better-organised
links.

Happy browsing!

If you assume there are only 365 days in a year, then with 183 people
there is only a 39.5% chance that one of them will share your birthday
(surprising, no?). Leap years complicate the question (is your
birthday on Feb 29?), so I'd prefer to stick to a straightforward
365-day year for this question.

Anyway, the reason that it's not 50% with 183 people is the old
difference of sampling-with-replacement vs.
sampling-without-replacement. Since some of those 183 people will
share birthdays with each other, they're covering fewer than 183 of
the 365 possible days (probably only about 144 different days), so the
chance that one of those is your birthday is not 50%.

With 365 other people, you only have a 63.3% chance of sharing a
birthday, not 100%. 365 random people would have around 230 different
birthdays.

Daniel;
            I have a Bayer Glucometer DEX and would appreciate being able to
download tests ( up to 100 of them) into your software via the LX's serial
port.

Also, here in Canada as well as many other places, we use mmol/ml as our
glucose units.  Perhaps you can make it a selectable option.  The conversion
is simply  18mmol/ml = 1mg/dl.

In addition to carbohydrates, a place to identify pre or post meal tests,
and a place for events such as exercise, illness, etc. to be recorded along
with a "comments" area.

It would be very useful to be able to edit the entries and/or flag them as
"bad" tests, "calibrations", and such.  The Glucometer DEX allows these to
be flagged as such internally, but, I don't know what coding they use to do
this.  Bayer may be willing to make these details available to you as a
software developer wishing to include their meters in your program.

Lastly, can I suggest that one be able to set ranges in your program for
graphing and statistics?  This would allow each user to select a "normal"
reading range along with "low, very low, high and very high" readings.  The
graphs and averages, etc. could then present data with respect to these
limits.

                                                                    good

Hi dear diabetic friends,

I recently had the idea to write a program for tracking our blood sugar
values etc.

That can take much time because I want to learn C and C++ and I've
decided to 'use' this project to learn C.

All of you who want to use such a program, please tell me what you
expect from such a program.

Basical blood sugar tracking issues I will include, of course:
(1) entering of blood sugar value, maybe automatic storage of
time and date that belongs to the blood sugar;
(2) graphical plot of blood sugar values,
(3) printing of a list of all blood sugar values with time and date for the
doctor,
(4) statistics (how much values more than 160mg/dl (are these also the
units you use for metering blood sugar? VERY IMPORTANT!), how much
values of blood sugar are below 50mg/dl, what's the everage value...)

and additionally I will add the following:
(4) entering the amount of insulin for each meal (if you use insulin)
(5) entering of amount of eaten carbohydrates
(6) maybe saving the program of your insulin pump (if someone has one)
(7) .......

your ideas please!

Liking the idea of influencing the course of handheld computing I started
Arachne and looked at above URL.
No image showed upon connect so I am not able to participate.
In my small company I have personally deleted all Windows related software
and am since than happy and much more productive. Or have you ever seen
Windows software in a shop with a computerized cashier system? They cannot
afford the "General Protection" visit their shop or small business. That
general is not very productive ;-).
It seems that I cannot participate directly but would have to ask Hal to
play intermediate as my Linux knowledge is still very basic and I am not yet
able to communicate with it and my Arachne web server seems to be not welcome
:-(.
Is that by the way already a predecision with regard to the system (CE)?

But my screen isn't blurry without the driver (I did, however, once
have a palmtop that did have an illegible 2x-driverless screen).  And, as
we went over, 2x doesn't necessarily reduce battery life... so I guess the
driver is the only reason I can't refute.  <g>

Subject:      CPack vs Transfile (was: CPack Question and others)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

(Best read with 62 char screen width)

Does a summary of some of the more general issues covered in
the recent discussions about CPack (CP) and Transfile Win 200
(TF) make sense? It is through my eyes and from my point of
view. Add and correct if you like!

First: TF is an OEM product, offered as freeware on the web,
through HP (ref: palmtop.net). My impression is that HP's
offering is based on the common view that CP is of limited
value with Win 95 and Win 98, and should even not be
installed on NT workstations not booting to plain DOS. After
all, however, most contributers to our discussions have
succeeded to install CP on W95, W98 and NT platforms, and
have got full functionality. So far, CP is commercial
software sold via HP dealers (used: Thaddeus, Rundel, ..).
QUESTION: Who is in the position to ask HP to donate CP to
the public domain now?

2) Common to TF and CP:

Either LX serial cable or IR interface on PC needed for
communication. Serial-IR adapters probably work (Aegis-IRHP5
OK, did your adapter work, Longden?). Some laptop FIR-port
questions not (yet) solved.

In case of problems, choose slow transfer rates, reduce
multitasking on PC, use external power supply to palmtop, and
IR rather than cable from palmtop. These conditions seem to
be more critical to TF than to CP.

3) Special to TF:

Nice user interface, just a filer, PC is client.

Makes time and date of copied files current.

Little backup flexibility, backup is one single archive file.

Transfer upto 19200 or 57600 baud depending on PC UART.

Transfer errors common with big files.

4) Special to CP:

'As LX' user interface, full PIM functionality, both
platforms can be client.

File attributes remain intact at transfer.

Normal backup flexibility, free access to backup files.

Transfer speed upto 115200 baud.

Successfully copied 19.7 Mb file from A drive (flash) at first
trial.

Installation on W95, W98 and NT platforms: if no just-DOS
environment is available, installation in a (simulated) DOS
window is OK (contrary to screen warning), but do not install
Laplink and Win setup. Shortcuts can be installed from the
Win or NT interface (one user had a problem here?). Under NT,
and especially on networked platforms, some tricks may or may
not be needed, and this may even change due to network
changes out of your control. After all, we had CP working
under different file systems, including NTFS. See Longden's
summary below!

To recap the earlier discussion, an important issue with
running cpack under NT is the use of environment resource,
which is devoted to maintaining variables accessed by other
apps.

These variables and their values can be displayed using the
DOS SET command, or by using ControlPanel/System/Environment.


If you're having trouble with functions in cpack (Filer
wouldn't work for me), try using
ControlPanel/System/Environment to remove extraneous
variables and/or values to gain back environment space, which
cpack appears to need.

I didn't see this important feature mentioned, but Cpack does a
decent job of translating database files into delimited files
importable by other database software. I don't know if TF does
this.

Also, for those frustrated with their file transfer situation,
you might like to try Kermit, which will run on the LX and just
about any thing else you may care to be using. I use it
regularly with both the LX and the 48GX

Great summary Geert!

   >QUESTION: Who is in the position to ask HP to donate CP to
   >the public domain now?

Maybe Thaddeus? ... or someone with contacts at HP.  With the 200LX leaving
the scene come November, maybe HP won't consider CP as a profit/liability
issue anymore.

   >2) Common to TF and CP:

I couldn't find the IR adapter ... could be that I sold it to someone and
forgot.  I have 2 printer/IR adapters that look the same as the file
transfer IR and still have to look around.  I've just been using the serial
cable in the meantime. The increased speed and functionality alone is
reason to use CP over TF.  I may have chucked the FIR because I kept having
to switch connection settings between IR/serial when I went from work to
home, since I had only 1 FIR-port.

I wish I could be more specific on a method for finding out how much
environment space is used/remains on NT.  Several DOS utilities I've
downloaded work fine on my Win95 machine, but fail on NT (I tried programs
CHGENV and WHATS, from Simtel).

In the meantime, CP is a refreshing change from TF's tiresome complaints
about dropped connections on larger files.

Subject: Re: (FLUFF - shared birthdays)

I'm no mathemetician but I read that this was true when I was in jr high
school.  I tested it at a few parties and found it to be reliable and used
it for years to win small bets.

Another non-intuitive statistical odity trick that won a lot of small bets
for me when I was young (I read this in the same book) is to bet someone
that if you choose 5 letters at random and they choose 5 letters at random,
you'll each have 2 letters in common.  That's true about 3/4 of the time.
It's been many years since I've done this and it might have been 7 letters
that each person chooses but I think 5 is right.  You mathemeticians can
figure that out.  By the way, it's a safe bet that you'll have 3 letters in
common, although you don't win much with 3.

I think, from observing this discussion, that it's a fairly safe bet that 2
mathmeticians will get different results with the same statistical problem.
Too bad I didn't know that one as a kid. :)

Before reading that book, I had to rely on the "I can jump higher than your
house" bet.  It always won since their house never jumped.  But it was hard
on my nose.

I am afraid not.. The only phone I have seen with a "fold" up screen is
the Ericsson R380. It has a big screen below the keypad. You can fold
the keyboard away use a pen to enter text and stuff as a Palm or
something..

Is this the phone you are talking about?

Yes I agree. (See above).. Maybe Nokia had a phone as you decribes I
have to have a look around.. Everybody is launching new phones every

The line above was 36 characters "ouside my screen when I reply to it
with PE. I have not used Memo as a editor. Well I used it once but I
think I stopped because I could not get the line lenght correct.

Somebody else have to answer why your lines get screwed up here. But I
think it has something with the 9 left margin.

This sounds correct. My local history knowledge should be better.. But
you Swedes had a double role during the war. Neutral but still making a
profit..but lets not go into any discussion about this I know way
to little about this..

> We sold to much iron ore to Hitler for Churchills taste...

Yep I think that was the case.. I think that German troops were
transported on swedish railways during ww2

But we are all friends now :-))=20

Hi Lars -

The problem is that Memo only does word-wrap in its own screen.  The
files it creates only have line breaks if you hit Enter.  If you look =
at
a memo doc with anything else, you'll see VERY long lines.

another approach:
when you see a doctor, and you are not sure about her/him, you could

Martin, have you had this problem with long lines before and with somebody=

Do you have any explanations Peniel?

I just upgraded my PC from Windows 95 to Windows 98.

It was suggested to change from FAT16 to FAT32 file system to improve
Windows performance and space utilization.

Before I change, I'd like to ask the group if this will have any affect on
using CPACK or some very old DOS programs.

I use both CPACK to backup my HP200 and to access HP files (phone book,
database, memo, etc.).

I also use Turbo Pascal v3.0 on my PC when developing programs for the
HP200.

Can anyone tell me if changing to FAT32 will interfere with these
operations?

Thanks in advance,

L. Brooks

Somehow I doubt it  8-)    I use PE with Post/LX, and it adds CR/LF
pairs where it wraps lines.  Don't know what other folks use with
Post/LX.

Possibly...  You say "LX users excluded".  My guess is that most folks
are using Windoze, and their mail software reformats the messages to
fit the screen.  Post/LX can also be set up to do it.

Jorgen Walgreen once posted his objections to the DS upgrade (something
like 2 years ago).  I wonder if he was convinced otherwise since then.

Now for one more confession:  I am not sold on the memory upgrade either,
because of the price (I just purchased a 96 meg flash card for a very
reasonable price, so for me it negates the expense of the mem upgrade,
except for the EMS issue.  Yes I know about the further speed).   This
makes one more driver objectionable, specially if I can live without it.
I just want the backlight.

I had asked earlier about running specific databases from the program
manager, and the suggested programs "more.exe" and "smore.exe" have been
very helpful in doing this from the program manager. Unfortunately, they
do not seem to work from an alternate program manager HDM which I have
running on software carousel.  any advice?  I would like to have a sc
session devoted to databases.

thanks,

I'm only guessing here, but when you make a call, the phone is obviously
transmitting RF signals. The IR port electronics on the Palmtop are fairly
sensitive and could possibly be affected by the RF signals sufficiently to
generate some output. The signal is not received by the IR photo diode, it
is just picked up by the electronics in the circuit

> -What can be done on the palmtop side to solve this problem?
The Palmtop would require additional metallic screening in the area of the
IR circuitry to prevent the pickup of stray RF signals.

Generally there is no problem with FAT32. The biggest problem seems to come
from drives larger than 2.1GB. This can cause problems with programs that
make DOS calls to the system for drive information. The system may give data
back in a format that has a larger number that the old program can interpret
and the result is unacceptable data and the program may think that there is
no space available on the drive. The break down of the 2.1GB limit is 65,520
(max # of clusters) X 64 (max sectors per cluster) X 512 (size of largest HD
partition in bytes) = 2,146,959,360 bytes.

Has anyone worked with the vCard and vCalendar formats
(http://www.imc.org/pdi)? I have played with a perl script on my UNIX
boxes that take my phone.pdb file and turns it into a vCard file that I
can use with Gnome's Address Book application. I have not, yet, done the
same thing for the HP Appointment file, but I plan on doing so.

But, I hate duplicating work. Has anyone done this yet? I would like to

A handsome, middle-aged man walked quietly into the cafe and sat down.
Before he ordered, he couldn't help but notice a group of younger men at
the table
next to him.  It was obvious they were making fun of something about
him,
and it wasn't until he remembered he was wearing a small pink ribbon on
the
lapel of his suit that he became aware of what the joke was all about.

The man brushed off the reaction as ignorance, but the smirks began to
get
to  him.  He looked one of the rude men square in the eye, placed his
hand
beneath the ribbon and asked, quizzically, "This?".  With that the men
all
began to laugh out loud.  The man he addressed said, as he fought back
laughter, "Hey, sorry man, but we were just commenting on how pretty
your
little ribbon looks against your blue jacket!"

The middle aged man calmly motioned for the joker to come over to his
table,  and invited him to sit down.  As uncomfortable as he was, the
guy obliged,
not really sure why.  In a soft voice, the middle aged man said, "I wear

this ribbon to bring awareness about breast cancer.  I wear it in my
mother's
honor."

 "Oh, sorry dude.  She died of breast cancer?"

"No, she didn't.  She's alive and well.  But her breasts nourished me as

an infant, and were a soft resting place for my head when I was scared
or
lonely as a little boy.  I'm very grateful for my mother's breasts, and
her
health."

 "Umm," the stranger replied, "yeah."

 "And I wear this ribbon to honor my wife," the middle aged man went on.

 "And she's okay, too?", the other guy asked.

 "Oh, yes.  She's fine.  Her breasts have been a great source of loving
pleasure for both of us, and with them she nurtured and nourished our
beautiful daughter 23 years ago.  I am grateful for my wife's breasts,
and
for her health."

 "Uh huh.  And I guess you wear it to honor your daughter, also?"

 "No.  It's too late to honor my daughter by wearing it now.  My
daughter
died of breast cancer one month ago.  She thought she was too young to
have breast  cancer, so when she accidentally noticed a small lump, she
ignored
it.  She  thought that since it wasn't painful, it must not be anything
to
worry about."

 Shaken and ashamed, the now sober stranger said, "Oh, man, I'm so sorry

mister".

 "So, in my daughter's memory, too, I proudly wear this little ribbon,
which allows me the opportunity to enlighten others.

 Now, go home and talk to your wife and your daughters, your mother and
your friends.  And here . . ."  The middle-aged man reached in his
pocket and
handed the other man a little pink ribbon.  The guy looked at it, slowly

raised his head and asked, "Can ya help me put it on?"

 This is breast cancer awareness month.  Do regular breast self-exams
and
have  annual mammograms if you are a woman over the age of 40.  And
encourage those  women you love to do the same.

 Please send this on to anyone you would like to remind of the
importance
of breast cancer awareness.

Surprising as it is, they are actually giving MS Word 5.5 away free.  And
according to my computer science teacher, they also give MS Assembler 4.0
away free, although I haven't seen any official Microsoft URLs confirming
that.

The extra speed, the free PCMCIA slot, the ability to have lots of EMS,
and the lower power usage are all reasons to consider the internal memory
upgrade over a flash card, but it comes at a price.  <g>

The backlight, being software-controlled, does, in fact, also require a
driver.  It's small, but it is required (unless you want the backlight on
all the time).

Here's a bit of news ... the latest version of the double-speed driver
includes many new functions, including a backlight control driver and a
keyboard buffer expander.  It may actually save people memory, if they
were going to use a backlight and keyboard buffer expander, or one of the
other programs that the speed driver incorporates the functions of. <g>

On both NT and Win95, Hyperterminal can connect to the datacomm app just
fine to do file transfers at 115200.  It's just not as "point n' shoot"
convenient as Filer or TF.

I use zmodem protocol for most file transfers, when done in Hyperterminal.

Yes and no. I composed that solution before all the stories about
people in a classroom came out. I thought the question was,
"What are the odds of someone else having an April 16 birthday?"
Curtis Cameron and Kiyoshi Akima have each explained the
discrepancy eloquently so I won't belabor it.  24 is the correct
answer to the other question, but I wouldn't place a bet unless
there were at least 30 people in the room and they all gave me
even odds!

I graduated from Indiana U. with a degree in Mathemeatics.
Did anyone else graduate from I.U.?
and what are the odds of that?!?   Just Kidding! :)
