I visited the Cebit (world's biggest Computer, IT, communications etc. exhibition) and I want you to know a few things: 1. I had the chance to try to establish an IrDA connection betwwen a Siemens S35i cellular phone and the HPLX. (I convinced a nice woman who presented the S35i to lend it to me for a few minutes, so I had the chance to try it ;-) ). The S35i worked much better as an IrDA modem than the S25! I used Post/LX / WWW/LX to establish the connection, and it worked at the first try without problems. After that I started RING.COM to watch the error rate, put the telephone in the regular 'IrDA-distance' besides the HP and did a call. First RING showed lots of errors, just as with the S25 (from 40 up to approx. 150 EMI errors per second). But when the connection was established, the error rate dropped to zero! This does not mean that you whould run to the next shop and bu the S35i when it'll be available! This is jsut a report of _my_ experience. Maybe the circumstances were unusally good or something. So if you plan to buy a cellular phone, you should try to get this one of your choice for a few days to try it out. And if it doesn't do the job, bring it back and buy another. Another interesting thing about the S35i: It doesn't have a color display anymore (the S25 has one). Maybe Siemens recognized that their color displays aren't good enough to read. (too little contrast in bad lightening conditions). 2. At the SanDisk stand I saw the 1.2GB ATA flash card. WOW! It will cost 7000DM (abt. 3500 US$) here in Germany (it's not yet available). I wanted to test it in my LX, but the SanDisk staff said, they had none of them in stock (only dummies). :-(( 3. Bluetooth devices are also available for the serial port, so we could even use bluetooth with the LX. They are little 'dongles', maybe as large as a small MP3 player, connected to the PC's serial port by a 10cm long cable. They run on batteries. The device I saw was made by Siemens and costs about 300 DM (=150 US$). There are also bluetooth PCMCIA cards, but they probably drw _way_ too much current from the LX's PCMCIA port. But this I don't know for sure. But a great benefit of the serial device is that it don't seem to need drivers! A PCMCIA card surely needs drivers, but the serial solution is transparent, i.e. you can simply connect one device to one serial port, and a second device to a second computer's serial port, and run the usual RS232 protocol over the bluetooth connection. So you can use any program you also used before, e.g. Transfile, LLRA or Interlink/Interserver just as before. So much for now, please excuse my bad English tonight; I'm very tired after this hard day, and that makes 'thinking in English' very hard!

The SUPER site at http://www.palmtop.net/supernew.html should have some printer drivers for the LX that may be of help.

I did formerly print from an HP Deskjet 560C, using a JetEye IR printer adapter (that I think was SIR enabled), and all that was needed on the 200LX was to make sure IR printing was set as default (Setup/F3/Interface/Infrared). - Longden "Dr. Werner Furlan" on 03/01/2000 07:51:22 AM Please respond to furlan@gmx.net To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: Printing to IR-Printer hello, I wanted to print to a HP Laserjet 2100 with my HP 200 LX through the IR Port.

The Sandisk CF was not only more power efficient (batteries lasted longer), but also ran faster (simple benchmark testing confirmed this). I use the CF card with an adapter made by Simple Technology, tho that choice was dictated solely on price. I don't believe the choice of manufacturers is significant in regards to the adapter (not having tried but one, I could be wrong). I'm sure the various CF types out there will vary greatly in performance, so my experiences are limited to the Sandisk 48mb CF. I did also have a Panasonic 2mb CF and a Simple Technology 16mb CF, but they were mostly for camera use and I only confirmed that they worked OK in the LX, without really testing for power and performance.

Dimming without charging sounds like something else is wrong... and yes, it could be the operator. One thing would be to remove the unknown of what the contrast setting is at by forcing it to a fixed level. I include the LXSTAT command (from SUPER) in my autoexec.bat: lxstat N d c 22 This tells the LX: - I'm using rechargeables (which if forgets sometimes during lockups/reboots) - sets the display contrast to a fixed level (lxstat sets this from 0-31, and I chose 22 as a good level for me). You could run this command periodically to set the contrast at a reference level. If it's still dim, this won't tell you if it's the LX or your eyes, but at least you'll know that the setting is at a known point. Play with this when the display looks good, then maybe get another pair of eyes to confirm it. Next time it looks dim to you (but not after charging), rerun the lxstat command to set the contrast level and see if your eyes and your partner's agree on the dimness. If you both agree, then the LX might have a problem. Another thing to consider is that ABC/LX can turn on your charging when you didn't realize it. When the screen suddenly looks inexpicably dim, feel under the bottom of the LX, on the right side. If it's warm, that's the reason for the dimness (it is, or was recently, charging). - Longden Joe Lapp on 03/01/2000 08:23:48 AM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to Joe_Lapp@RYDER.COM To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: Dim 200 LX Screen I have an 8 mg DS 200LX.

Depending :-) For application I priced it for it is "a few coins". My customer puts together about $4000 of hardware and a program that took 2 years to write and sells it for $75,000-125,000 EACH!

Their price is $1199, I believe. BTW, the 440 works just fine. It is a bit slow when opened with Filer, because Filer reads the whole structure of directories. I experienced a similar slowdown when I went from a 40MB to a 160MB. When I say slowdown I mean a little over 1 second at most. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 1 Mar 2000 12:11:49 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , A Meshar Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Meshar Subject: WinCE vs 200LX Comments: To: Barry Marks MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Barry Marks wrote: > As I understand it, nobody's making much money from the WinCE units. > HP could be an exception, but I know that most of the WinCE hardware > manufacturers are no longer in that business.

You know how it is: $10 profit per machine (I speculate, I do not know the real number) if multiplied by 2 million is a nice chunk of profit. if multiplied by 200,000 it is ok, but not anything to be promoted for! :-) ... I believe what still keeps them in the game is all the pundits saying that the "real popularity" of handhelds is around the corner - that it is not yet with us, that it is coming. So as long as they do not lose money on a sale AND there is an expected GROWTH In sales, it is worth making it. I am sure they go so long, then quit (as Phillips and others did already.) > Microsoft is supposed to come out soon with a re-write of WinCE that > will make it simpler to use and more robust. From some articles > I've read, hope for the success of that is the only thing that's Yeah, right. MS always has another version in the hopper. They kinda have to. WinCE has grown to over 8MB and if you compare what the O/S could do in itse version 1.0 when it occupied 1 or 2MB and what it can do in 8MB it is puzzling! There is not much advance compared to explosive growth in size. Alpha and Beta testers who test only that machine love the new WinCE. But they have little to compare with. There is a group of such testers who use other machines (200LX, Psion, PalmPilot) and they are not so enthused. It is more of the same. Some items are better, others are worse, some curious omissions, some unintelligible additions. Believe it when it is in your hands and using batteries, not a moment before! :-) ... ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 1 Mar 2000 12:11:52 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , A Meshar Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Meshar Subject: Re: Dim 200 LX Screen Comments: To: Joe_Lapp@RYDER.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Joe, First, ABC/LX does not mess with the screen. Secondly, the LCD screen has a temperature sensor so the machine can change the contrast when the temp goes up and down. (This is the nature of LCD screens, they change directoin when temps change and so polarity must be changed to make them viewable again.) When the batteries charge, the circuit gets warm. Unfortunately, the location of the sensor is too close to the circuit and this affects the sensor and consequently the screen is adjusted (falsely). As to the "independent" occurance without cahrging - probably the machine went from one temp to another rapidly? Or maybe you took it out to the sun? If all else fails, you may want to shut down all the applications, make a backup at this occasion, then reboot the machine cold and reply NO to the reformatting (initializing drive C:) question. This may help reset anything that may be amiss. But not guaranteed. Some people have also tried the battery pulling, but that is more radical and I do not recommend it unless you are comfortable with restoring your machine, drivers and all..

At the time I couldn't get it to work and for various reasons didn't put a lot of energy into it. Recently I've been trying again. I can use the cable and transfer the replacement laplink module, and then that will run but the IntelliSync it self won't see the Palmtop. Main reason I'm playing with it is to link with Schedule+. I know, odd. But there is a reason for my madness. I ended up with my wife's Velo1 when we moved her to a Palm Pilot. I want to be able to Sync it with my 200lx. When getting it up and running I discovered the version of Schedule+ that came with the Velo1 includes the Covey Seven Habits tools! Being a big fan of The seven habits books, I was delighted. The machine I'm using is an Old Thinkpad 360cse 2.1 gig HD, 36 meg Ram. Running Windows95. The free Transfile works fine on it. No problem seeing the HP.

I realize not many peopl have seen it :-) and even fewer used it :-))) I read that does what they call code morphing which means they the software translates x86 instructions to the native Crusoe hardware instructions. This hcip has what they call VLIW, very long instruction word. Further, that because of these they can replace chips and transistors with more software. This results in lower battery utulization. How? Why? If they use the software more intensively to do the translation doesn't that use the cpu? I can see the following logic: A cpu with 500,000 transistors etc, uses less power than a cpu with 5,000,000 transistors and so on. But: The 500,000 cpu can do also a LOT less smart work, and may have to work many more times just to achieve the same "smarts". So where is the savings?

The idea is that the Crusoe doesnt really have highly evolved hardware instructions but instead is optimized for running software based instruction sets, meaning much fewer transisters are required than existing designs translating to less power and less heat from its use.

Kind of a nice feature if it works in production units... I could see it evolving further down the line with cached instruction sets allowing 'at boot' configuration of your processor between different platforms.

Basically the processor only knows a few basic things to do, and you add a layer on top of that that makes the processor look like it knows how to do lots of things, then you write your program (or design the output of your compiler) to use that set of instructions. RISC processors usually have very high core speeds and execute their instructions sometimes several per clock cycle but because of the layer on top of them you end up about where you started. All of the WinCE machines use RISC processors that work exactly that way, a general instruction set layer on top of the reduced instruction set layer and applications (and the OS) are compiled targeted for the generalized layer. That is also why a WinCE machine with a 133Mhz processor is no where near as fast as a CISC machine with a 133Mhz processor. Do the WinCE machines really seem 10 times faster than the 200LX? > There are other benefits as well, in that the CPU can be upgraded or > reconfigured for different platforms... imagine being able to > reinstall your CPU's instruction set to conform to a different > platform, say to run Mac OS instead of WinTel...

The only advantage that the RISC chip, and that is all the Crusoe seems to be for all the hype, is that it can be made to look like another chip. So a company could make MACs and PCs using the same processor, but differnent motherboards and hardware. Saves stocking different chips and makes the one chip have a bigger market. Personally I will believe all the marketing hype surrounding the Crusoe when someone actually comes out with a product using it and it can be compared to some other product using a more normal CPU. Pete PS. Of course what will actually happen is that Transmeta (Transmedia?) will put out lots of hype then have its stock IPO, all the principles will get very wealthy and then the company will disappear, probably caused by some unforseen glitch in the chip. :-) Peter W.

They're going to have a hard time competing with Palm, which has a simpler and faster system with good battery life. And Palm pretty far out in front now. I suspect this is one that Microsoft is going to lose. But they've got a lot of resources available so who knows. As for making a profit, Phillips and several others probably decided their money could earn more elsewhere even if they were making a few bucks. It's one thing to hold out for a huge return when handhelds get really popular. But that only makes sense when your product is in the running. I wouldn't be surprised to see some of the former WinCE hardware producers come out with Palm licensed devices in the future. I think we'll all agree that the 200lx is a better machine than either one of them. It has more powerful apps built in and much more powerful software is available. It's a powerful machine for the person willing to learn to use it. But the Palm is a powerful machine for people that don't bother to learn to use it. I spent 20 or 30 minutes with mine and knew pretty much all it could do. I haven't seen tips columns in magazines for the palm, or lots of tips in the newsgroups. Everybody that uses one knows exactly what it will do and how to make it do it. No skill needed. Very little to explore. You just use it. And I hardly notice it in my pocket. Today I hadn't intended to bring it with me but I forgot to take it out of my pocket and the day was half gone before I realized I had it. Since I started wearing suspenders I can't carry the 200lx in my pocket anymore. It's too heavy and the suspender on that side stretches so that my pants almost fall to my knees. My pants actually bounce up and down as I walk. I don't have a belt to hook a case onto. It's liable to fall out of my shirt pocket if I lean forward too much.

Back in the 70's and 80's Burroughs had a machine range called the B1700/B1800/B1900 which had bit addressable memory. The basic CPU was microcoded and applications were compiled to a n intermediate instruction code which was implemneted by an interpreter on the hardware. Each language (COBOL, SDL (algol like) etc) had their own specific instruction set defined and when the OS would invoked the appropriate interpreter to exectute the code. Of course the systems were huge (and expensive) by todays standards but it would be interesting to see how a similar architecture would perform implemented in todays technology.

I try to remember to close all apps, before I go to bed, and yesterday, when I opened my calendar, my nightly backup, which is scheduled to start at 12:00 A, started all by itself. I didn't under why, but I let it run its course. I didn't have to chance to see if the backup had taken place, prior to this strange thing happening. I have not had this ever happen before.

I had posted that I have all my DOS 5.0 files, stored on one flash card, for conveinence sake. This should not be confused with a single floppy disk, which there is too much data to put onto one floppy disk. If I recall, there was like 3 or 4 floppies that the original DOS 5.0 files are on. I had owned mine from using DOS 5.0, way back, when having a 40 meg hard drive, made you really something special. I would not think MS is allowing DOS 5.0 to be downloaded anywhere for free. Problem is they most likely don't sell it anymore either. There has been the discussion on this list, in the past, about the legality issue of us obtaining the full version, because we already own a license for the reduced version of DOS 5.0. Some feel you have the right to get a full copy from someone else that has it, and some feel you do not. I am sure not meaning to start that thread all over again. I would think that the full version is still for sale, somewhere on the net, like recycledsoftware.com, or something like that.

Wired ran an article about retro-computing devotees. The Tandy Model 100 (billed as first laptop) was introduced in 1983 and some 700,000 units were produced during its short life. Even so, they are still easily available today in mint condition from several 'net sellers. You can even get a brand new Model 100 that has been sitting on a shelf for 20+ years. The HP200lx is, at least, as useful as the Model 100 and surely was produced in numbers similar to the Model 100. I've relaxed my search for a replacement. I'm sure it will be around for a few more decades. The downside, however, is that the Model 100 fans say nothing since has come close to a replacement for their beloved machine. We probably won't see anything better than the 200lx either. We are either monogamously committed to the 200lx or it is the pinnacle of palmtop computing.

The LX has its own built-in modem driver (cic100) and there are several others available including the excellent LXCIC at the SUPER site. Whether they will work with CF modems, I don't know ... I don't see why not. The choices of ethernet cards is limited by the high amount of current they usually require compared to the 150ma limit of the LX slot.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Well, if you mean using an LX to a server that you usually access from Outlook (which will usually be an MS-exchange server) then I use just use Going-Postal, but any of the POP mailers you will read about on this list will have devotees. It does require whoever runs the server to have enabled POP3 (in fact I rather think they have to disable it to stop it). Test it by using a TELNET connect to port 110 on the server you are set up for (look in the properties for the service...right click the icon you use in W9x/NT, and grub around). If it says 'hi there' or MS words to that effect you are in business. FWIW it's a handy way to read your mail very fast from almost anything that has TELNET, if you trouble to find out the POP commands. What's this got to do with the title of your mail?

What FX-32 did (does?) was translate X-86 instructions to alpha instructions. Nothing remarkable about this _but_ while the machine has ideal cpu cycles FX-32 would go and look at the X-86 executables and `rewrite' them using alpha instructions. The next time you run the X-86 code FX-32 would actually run the alpha binary it had generated from it. Every time you ran X-86 code FX-32 would watch and continuously improve the efficiency of the translation process. I have an early Alpha machine and it was quite remarkable to see programs get faster with each time you used it - up to an order of magnitude faster. It really worked. I use past tense because this machine `died' last year however just recently I succeeded in resurrecting it - a dead internal battery causing corruption of memory contents was the problem! Incidentally a two year old 600MHz Alpha cpu still has a factor of 5 greater floating point performance than the latest 800MHz X-86 cpus.

If you cant find it there I can send it to you, along with the Appmanager Icon I have for it. There is no keyboard overlay for Hebrew for the HP200, but what i did is to buy 2.5mm rub on letters from Office depot and place them to the left of each key. It is a bit of work as you have to cut out each letter separately and hold them down with a pin while you rub them with a pencil. This looks really good if you take care to do it right.

And I think all kinds of computer peripherial devices will soon have bluetooth built-in, so you don't need all the cables anymore. You'll have bluetooth printers, bluetooth scanners, bluetooth keyboards and mice, bluetooth modems, bluetooth speakers, bluetooth networks..... bluetooth palmtops.... :-) The big advantage of bluetooth vs IrDA is that you don't need a 'face-to-face' connection between two devices. So you can place all bluetooth devices somewhere around your computer in a radius of 10m (later it will be 30m), every device has got a unique address, and ready is your whole system!

I didn't know 123 even supported cell borders... more likely they are lost going from Excel to 123. As to cell formatting (I presume you're talking Excel since you mention "clicking boxes"), if you select a bunch of cells (hold down the left mouse button as you drag), then Format/Cells/Border and then choose BOTH "outline" and "inside" with lines that will make a border around the entire box and within, the selected cells should now all be individually boxed.

This is the part I find interesting. In the past, people have come up with really good mathematical models for predicting the stock market. The problem was that the model breaks down when too many people follow it. I think there was one called "Black-Scholes" that is a classic one. I guess that's why they don't want to reveal too much... I also imagine they have no way of copyrighting the 'concept' of how they model the market. I think that you can't copyright a mathematical process. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 3 Mar 2000 12:36:02 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Quinton Jones Jr Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Quinton Jones Jr Subject: Re: Model 100 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Fri, 3 Mar 2000 12:43:25 -0600, Bryan Biggers wrote: > That was the thing about the '100; it was a real keyboard, and you = could > type all day on it.

Until today I've used only Macs with my 200LXs, and gotten along nicely with MacLinkPlus/Palmtop. Well, the hammer finally dropped at work and now I've got an NT 4.0 machine. I had a DOS connectivity pack already (I bought it for the cable and never installed the software) and my first surprise was that it has DOS versions of all the palmtop PIM programs! If only the Mac pack had those, too.... My question is, can app200 run in a window instead of taking over the whole screen?

Apparently the way the ribbon cable feeding the screen passes through the hinge exposes the cable to early wear. They've been through four screens in one year of daily use.

On the bright side, this is good if your vision is failing anyway . Cpack's advantage over TF is support for a faster transfer speed in addition to app support (as you've already noted). There may be some problems on NT if your NT environment space gets tight, and would result in some Cpack apps not starting correctly. This is fixed by cleaning up the NT environment space a bit (ControlPanel/System/Environment). As for the backup battery, go into Setup and the main screen should tell you .... "Backup battery: OK" They're supposed to be replaced yearly (on the safe side). If you want hard numbers, you can try downloading the freeware LXSTAT program from the SUPER site and it'll give you numbers for both main and backup batteries. ABC/LX will do it also (Ctrl-I from within ABC/LX's screen) and a lot more (but it'll cost you). - Longden John Seal on 03/02/2000 03:42:46 PM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to John Seal To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: DOS Connectivity Pack Hello.

But I have tried all different ways to dial in via a modem and start a PPP connection. I start to feel very frustrated, since I have never experienced such a difficult configuration during my 6 years with a HP Palmtop! I either use the DOSPPP debugging in a wrong way, or it's just plain useless... My 200LX dial in to my ISP and everything goes well until the CHATSCR script ends- then I directly loose the connection. Even when I try to login the traditional way- wait for "Username> etc, my username and password works fine. But as I mentioned- as soon as the script has finished, my connection is gone. So I guess it must be something very wrong here- but I can't figure out what since the stupid debug option only gives me a debug file which ends without any information what went wrong. Suggestions are highly appreciated and if you can recommend any other dialer/PPP package which works with the LXTCP tools, then I will give it a try.

As Patrick West mentioned earlier, you can print via IrDA in DOS using: http://www.thaddeus.com/ftp/dj346en.zip I tried it- printing from MS Word for DOS to a HP 6P Laserjet printer, and it worked fine! Now to my problem- have anyone been able to print via IrDA from Excel 2.1 or Windows 2.03/3.0? I suspected that MS Win would "swallow" all the memory and disturb this driver- and it did! So I could not print from Excel, but since it has an installation for Windows (later versions, such as 3.1- I guess), then it might be possible to do it on the palmtop....in some way...

The Black-Scholes is indeed an example of how the behaviour cancels any gains when everyone does the same. There was a public TV program aired about that just a few weeks ago. Quite interesting. Clearly, the theory had merits, or at least it earned two people the Nobel Prize and a great deal of money in the investment arm they created. I think the reason most of the methodologies in investments are not publicised is for competitive reasons, Perhaps that says the same as what you meant. Copyrighting is not necessary helpful. You have got to make it a trademark or patent. Cash Management was a successful strategy which the creator (can't recall the name of the brokerage) also successfully defended against copycats. I think this is quite convoluted, though. As to why my contacts keep their process secret I really do not know. I just know they are EXTREMELY strict about it. I speculate that it is of course a competitive edge they wish to maintain, but there could be other reasons. I found out with my dealings with them, that they are extremely sophisticated management group, with very well thought out strategies and methods.

They maybe slow, but they will not suck batteries dry while online. Minifax is built-in and it is a great fax application (.EXM, too). I believe that David Shier may still have them in stock although he is out of retail. Two drawbacks IMHO: 1. The modem comes on each time you turn the palmtop on and then after 10 seconds of inactivity it shuts down. That tends to deplete batteries a bit faster than really necessary, especially if you turn the machine on and off many times a day. We have looked for a long time for ways to tell the modem to "cool it" :-) and just wait for an explicit "wake up", but to no avail. 2. There are two storage parts on the card. The 8MB and another, smaller EEPROM (or???) which contains the programs, drivers etc. That part of the card always shows itself as A: drive. LXMDRV.SYS, the driver which is used in the DEVICE= in the config, makes the 8MB always look like F: or higher drive. This makes it inconvenient in filer, and we have used SUBST (as well as ASSIGN) to switch "identities". Another invonveience is that their configuration will automatically create a subdirectory on C: and copy into it the driver, then use the driver from the C: drive. This tends to be a problem when you lose C: drive, suddenly the 8MB is inaccessible. I always made the CONFIG.SYS use the driver directly from the A: drive. Also, they have LXMFMT.EXE right on the A: drive. This baby will wipe out the 8MB in no time - gives little warning that it is destructive, especially to a novice user. All these are just mere minor inconveniences. The card is otherwise really excellent! BTW, www.exp-tech.net is their Website, I think. They have updated the programs on the drive, and you can download a whole file that will update your card. Also, I believe there are drivers for use in Win9x and WinNT - but that isn't clear to me, I heard, but never searched or used these... (Hmmmm... actually, if you find drivers for Win9x and WinNT please let me know! - would be nice to have a EXP pluggable into a PCMCIA drive on the desktop, and backed up in a hurry.

That program (system of programs really) was designed for an investment bank, with an emphasis on stocks, but not only. Other financial instruments are also included, which as an individual you'd almost never have access to. This also requires prodigious amounts of information, massaged in specifc ways, which requires more computing power than most individuals have at home, or even have access to. This system is of no interest to an individual investor at all, never mind the price tag. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 4 Mar 2000 18:04:14 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Raymond, Timothy CPT --13CC" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Raymond, Timothy CPT --13CC" Subject: Re: Swap Box Comments: To: Jeff Johns Jeff, I think I saw some folks on the list say that Win9x will handle it OK w/o any special drivers Ýthat's been the case for me¨.

Encrypting is obvious. If you want to keep messages or files secret it is a perfectly good way. Signing is less obvious. If I `sign' a message with PGP and you use the PGP software to read it _and_ if you have an authenticated copy of my PGP signature, then you can be pretty sure that the message came from me. You still have to be careful about how you get my authenticated signature (that's what the fingerprint stuff is all about) and, particularly if you are sending ASCII files, you have to use software that _will not_ do spurious things like screw around with white space. That describes what PGP does. The rest is my view of the usefulness. In newsgroup contexts, I find it less than useless. In other words, I find it a complete waste of bits (it often doubles or triples message length to `sign', that's why in most well functioning newsgroups no one actually signs anything) principally because for the most part I don't really care _who_ anyone is anyway, and none of the stuff I read is likely to be faked. In other contexts I find it pretty useless too, but that is perhaps just because my signature has no particular `authority' attached to it. In my days as a teacher, if I had used the internet for assignments etc. then I might have used PGP because otherwise some student might find it amusing to masquerade as me in order to torment his/her fellow classmates. Signing messages would pretty much defeat any attempt by one student to, for example, send a horrible `assignment' to some fellow student in my name. However, PGP would only be a nuiscance in my regular communication. So while I keep it available, and while a do have a PGP signature key available on a public key server, I essentially _never_ use the signature facilities, and only use the encryption facilities to keep a few files (for example, files that contain passwords) on my computer free from the unlikely encounter with someone else...

If a flash card is in the PCMCIA slot and you boot, the 200lx will boot from that by default. Watch the screen carefully and you'll see a few other options. If you have a double speed lx its a good idea to have copies of the necessary drivers on a flash card in case the drivers or autoexec.bat on the palmtop get trashed, so you can easily get started again. If you want info about modems and ethernet if you go to http://www.palmtop.net that should give you a start.

I've noticed something over the past year or two that seems odd to me. Maybe one (or more) of these knowledgeable people can enlighten me. When I get the first "main batteries low" message I replace the batteries immediately and save those batteries to use in my pager. (I don't care if it goes completely dead occasionally.) The puzzle is that almost always one of the batteries has much less charge left in it than the other. This does not seem to vary with brand of battery or even with type (alkaline or lithium). The batteries are always fresh according to the date printed on them. They come from bulk packages purchased frequently and are stored in reasonable indoor conditions. I try to always pair them from the same lot. They last through three or four weeks of usage in my doublespeed before needing replacement so I think the time is not unreasonable. Sometimes one battery would be so low that the pager (needs only one battery) would not even turn on and the other battery would show as being 3/4 fully charged. 'Tis a puzzlement!

If the two batteries discharge unevenly, and the 200 is _only_ sensitive to the series effect of the two, then it will indicate low whenever the worst of the two gets bad enough to trigger the situation. The other battery might be quite robust still.

Battery makers must spend tons of money to make their batteries as consistant from one batch to the next as well as between two batteries from the same lot. I also don't notice this outcome so much with the batteries that I take out of my Mini-Maglight. If this effect I'm noticing is so frequent, are we throwing away half of our batteries with a lot of use still left in them? bob *************************** >David Ness said: >I wouldn't expect too much similarity in the discharge pattern of individual >batteries.

Harder to track than battery life because with light bulbs life is `very long' or `incredibly long' and usage clearly varies from socket to socket. It seems to me that I remember some examples used in an ancient stochastic math class that indicated there was _very little_ information in knowning how long a bulb had been burning. Since batteries are dissapative, there clearly _is_ information (probably lots) in knowing how much it has been used, but that doesn't necessarily imply that you might not quite regularly have high variance. Seems to me is all that it takes is substantial `variance' in capacity to get the behavior you observe... But since I don't really _know_ much about this, I guess I have speculated enough. All I can say is that it wouldn't surprise me to find that we regularly throw away lots of batteries with lots of useful life...

Like David said, there is probably a lot of variation in batteries, even from the same lot. My guess (not being an expert) is that the acceptable tolerance for commercial products is probably pretty large. Another thing is that battery discharge life is going to be different in low average current devices (like the LX) and high current devices (like a Mini-Maglite). One more thought --- even at 3/4 full, the better cell is on the edge of being too low for the LX.

There is a widely available "cracker" made specifically for PKZIP that'll decrypt messages. PGP is real encryption that is secure enough to sustain concentrated attack. It is no more inconvenient to use than PKZIP and, with LXPGP, easier. PGP also uses compression so you have smaller messages that the NSA can't (probably) read. The downside is that real encryption requires real computational horsepower. It can be slow on the 200lx. There used to be a site with lots of great info about PGP. I think it has been awhile since it was updated and it may even be gone now but it would be worth looking for to get up to speed on PGP 2.6.2. I think it was http://pgp.rivertown.net.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed I have a question for all the hardware experts out there. I have a 200LX \ DS \ 8Mb, and a 700 LX Omnigo. I also happen to live in an area of the country where I can use a phone that works with the Omnigo. I love all the features of the Omnigo except one - it won't fit in my pocket. So, I am use my 200 on a daily basis. I pulled the bottom off the 700 and found that it just has a standard Nokia data card in a second PCMCIA slot. I pulled the card out, bought a cable from Nokia, and my 200 worked with the card just fine. However, I didn't have an application to use the short messaging service, and the application integration is not as good as the 700. So, I thought of a perfect solution... 1. Combine the two machines so that I have the form factor of the 200, but the ROM of the 700. 2. Have about 32 MB of RAM on board so that I don't have to use a memory card. 3. Leave the Nokia data card plugged in, and attach the fone when a fax or data call comes in. Perfect, no? Two small problems: Can it be done, and who could do it? Your thoughts would be appreciated.

My advice send it as a JPEG, others will/may disagree it is just that if the receiving party does not have software to decompress or does not know how to then they will not see your photographs. Some email programs such as Outlook Express will show a jpg or jpeg digital photograph directly, but a zip or self extracting exe zip file will not show (I will not run exe files from email unless I autheticate the sender) Good luck...Liam Bunbury, Western Australia ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2000 09:16:19 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Brian.McIlvaine@UNBOUNDED.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Brian McIlvaine Subject: OFF TOPIC: USB support in non OSR 2 Windows 95 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hey folks - I know this is off topic, please ignore if you can't help...

I love this package and use it every day. It does not run on the palmtop as it depends on having a full-function browser like IE. You can tell it how many levels deep to follow links, a maximum number of pages to retrieve, and whether to restrict downloads to the same URL path or same website. It is also possible to tell it to save only non-graphic contents of the pages. As for re-creating external HTML files and the graphics files needed, that's not a feature of the package. The Pro version costs but there is an advertising supported free version available from http://www.surfsaver.com. I think it's well worth it to buy the Pro version.

Depends on the device, I have a Kodak DVC 350 camera which works fine with the drivers Kodak supplied on my Win95 system. OTOH, my SanDisk USB compact flash reader does not work (out of the box at least, I have not tried anything exotic with it). I have that connected to a Win98 system where it works fine.

I've used it many times but only three times did I really NEED it. The third time was just recently. In the past I had always attached a pgp fingerprint to my email sig. But when changing ISP last year, I got out of the habit, till a recent need slammed me in the face. I did up a new key with my current address, signed it with itself and my last two keys and sent it to a key server. This solved the problem. And I've added the fingerprint of my new key to my sig and likely won't need it again for a couple of years. Think of it like auto or fire insurance, one may never need it, but if you do, it is too late to change your mind. So I've added the fingerprint of my new key to my sig and likely won't need it again for a couple of years. Imagine you have talked with someone who you have never met face to face, simply email and mailing lists and newsgroups. But over time you have come to trust this person's knowledge and experience. Now events have occurred that you want to discuss with them. Because you wish to include details you view it as a private, if not confidential matter. Using PGP in this case avoids any problems with misdirected email, snoopy sys admin staff, etc. Because you have saved some of their email, or have pasted their pgp fingerprint into a note section of your address book, you have a way to ensure you are talking with the same person. Getting their pgp key from the server, at this point, would be worthless if in the past they hadn't attached a pgp fingerprint to all their mail. -- Patrick West pgp 2.6.2 key fingerprint = 33 1B 3D EC 69 69 3A D4 7F 9A 4D 35 5B D5 0E 41 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2000 10:57:33 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Longden_Loo@CANDLE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: AutoRoute Express Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I had considered getting a map/routing program for the 200LX, but in my area, the roads are changing so much that I'm not sure the routing information would be very current.

The city information came from the census website which gives the latitude and longitudes. World Travel's US map gives me a rough visual as to the location and the distance calculator lets me gauge the travel distance and times, using waypoints. Probably not as automatic as AutoRoute (or AutoMap), but free and all files are only 167k. Still would like a nice pcx map of California that fits on the LX screen ... if anyone has one.

I only use automap for directions between cities. The interstates and US Highways don't change much at all compared to local roads.

Everytime your question is asked in a norwegian mobil newsgroup people say that you should hire a phone and divert your home phone to your hire phone over there.

You have to check if the phone you are hireing or buying has data cabability and also that the network you are on over there has data enabled on the subscription you get/hire. The cost for receving phonecalls can be high if you use your own simcard in a hire phone(roaming). The cost for you is lower (I am told) if you leave the sim at home and have somebody divert it to your hired Us number.

With e-mail, I generally telnet in from my 200LX to the hplx.net machine and run Pine on that machine, so PGP is very quick. On the 200LX, I have PGP set up with Post/LX, and yes, it's pretty slow -- ten seconds or so, as I recall, to encrypt a message on my double-speed machine. But I still find it usable, and the speed tradeoff is more than made up for by the added security, in my book. I'd rather spend a few extra seconds of encryption time than decades in a penitentiary when the feds intercept my messages to Avi and discover our dangerous clandestine operations. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2000 23:04:39 -0500 Reply-To: theise@netins.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Theodore Heise Subject: Re: PGP Raymond, Timothy CPT --13CC writes: > > I had a "shell" account, w/ a local ISP, that I could TELNET into and use > Pine; but they've cut all such access for "security" reasons :-( There are still plenty of telnet accounts out there.

The point is: If they are not attached to blue keys, they could be normal EXM or even EXE files on D:, so you could simply copy them to your 200LX. If they are not on D:, but only in the non-visible ROM (as all the blue-key-apps are), you can't copy them.

After a lots of testing, I have some Interesting results which I don't understand and therefore I ask for help. I have confirmed that my setup is ok, since I have tried 2 other external modems connected to my COM1 port. In order to avoid scripting problems, I enter terminal mode and then login manually. The modem that I am using, doesn't work at all. It dial in, enter terminal mode and I am entering my User Name, Password & PPP. Then I get a reply that I am entering PPP mode, my IP address etc. But now my modem dissconnects directly- not even a short delay. When I use the other 2 modems, they will continue and negotiate the PPP connection and then give me a ok. First I thought that it might be my modem init string that was wrong. But then I created a string which gave the modem the exact settings as the other modems. But that didn't help. The interesting thing is that the 2 working modems can accept any type of init string and will still work fine. Ok, now you might think- this is easy! Something wrong with your modem! But I don't think so since it work great with WWW/LX and POST/LX! Why can't my modem work? Please help. If you could suggest another dialer and PPP driver, that might help also.

I have a `short' signature created in 1995 (1024 bit key) and a `long' signature (2048 bit key) created in 1999. I need to tell it which to use. In my case I actually type `Ness' and if it does not get me the one I want, I use an `ID' instead.

Unless you actually bother to write fresh, meaningless characters into the exact place where the original file was, there may be residual information on the disk. PGP has some options to help you control this. You have to understand the way DOS behaves rather intimately to make sure you clean things up. (i.e. you _cannot_ just use COPY commands, or just write scrambled characters). You actually need to access the _oroginal_ disk blocks, and rewrite each of them. This is hard to do except at the lower levels of disk access routines. > > When it is time to read the file I say `PGP PASSWORD' and it will ask for my Private Pass Phrase. > > If I give this successfully, a file named PASSWORD (the original name) will reappear. > > The private pass phrase, is this your name you entered above?

At first I believed it but I checked the batteries and they show a full charge. I put them back in and they were fine. Until I took a few more pictures. I've found that the key is to turn the camera off and on when I get the power low indication. I've also taken pictures with the NIMH batteries that also came with it and I don't have this problem. I've tried using Radio Shack Hi-Cap nicads and they don't have the problem either. I'm guessing this is something like the problem that cause HP to reccomend not using Dura-cells if you have a flash card. They couldn't handle the sudden large draw of the flash card. I remember the discussion at that time was that nicads were better at handling that then alkaline batteries. Probably the Kodak thinks it has a low power situation and can't change it's mind till the power on the camera is cycled. Just guessing, I've probably taken about 35 or 40 pictures with the Alkalines. I've probably gotten the low indication 3 or 4 times. And the batteries still show a full charge on my tester.

You could try an alkaline with a lower internal resistance like the Duracell Ultra or simillar - though the discharge charatistics are somewhat different to their standard Alkaline, they do have higher peak current delivery because of the lower cell resistance. I am using these in my 200lx (with flash card and clock doubled) without problem, but then I wasn't getting a problem with the standard cells either.

Just to make the case specific I took an 11 character text file and encrypted it using my 2048 bit signature. It was reasonably quick, say 10 - 20 seconds or so, and it produced a 310 byte result file. However, reversing the process, decrypting the file took between 6 and 7 _minutes_ on my single-speed 200Lx. In my uses, a file will typically be decrypted many times for each time that it is encrypted. I.e. _every_ time the file is modified, it is decrypted and then re-encrypted, but it will also be decrypted many times just to get the information. So the decryption time is the thing that dominates my usage, and that is what makes PGP next to useless for me on the 200 except in emergency situations. I note also, that if you are sending mail to someone who _reads_ it on the 200, then this is a real burden. If they read the mail on their `big computer' doing the PGP calculations isn't much of a problem. But if they do most of their work on the 200 itself, I doubt if they'd be very happy to receive stuff this way...

Batteries will vary from each other in various parameters almost always. If two batteries mismatch on internal resistance, then the one with more resistance will deplete slower, while the other will deplete faster. All you need is probably a tiny difference for the process to begin. If this explanation holds any validity, then it will explain what you see and the repetitiveness of it.

Pkware says the longer password the more secure is the encryption.

In the case of CGI results that are generated by posting forms, you can't type the URL in and have it generate the page, so web retrieval utilities that allow recursive web page downloads from a command prompt don't work. You could save each page manually from a web browser, but that pretty much defeats the whole point of an automatic retrieval utility. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2000 12:52:07 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: Turbo C++ In-Reply-To: <002601bf884a$29dd7540$5a0b02cc@oemcomputer> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Tue, 7 Mar 2000, Barry wrote: > There is definately BC++ 2.0.

Aha -- with my 768-bit key, it takes 10-20 seconds to decrypt and is a lot quicker at encryption. Obviously it's not as secure as a 2048-bit key, but at least it can be used on the 200LX without much trouble. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2000 16:07:00 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jim Westley Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jim Westley Subject: Re: 200LX \ 700LX Hybrid?

A long time ago, I was going to post results about connecting a 200LX to my NT 4.0 workstation via CPack and an IR interface. Unfortunately, the IR device was misplaced, and I just found it now under a stack of boxes. The unit is from Extended Systems, a JetEye PC Infrared PC Interface (part ESI-9610), tho I believe it's discontinued now. Anyway, I connected the jeteye's serial to the NT station's Com1 serial port and set the Filer and CPack settings to 115200 (interface setting on the LX was "Infrared", and "Com1" on the NT). Pressed F6 on CPack and the two systems connected and was able to transfer files at 115200 via IR. No other software, no drivers on either machine. As they say .... "slicker 'n snot". - Longden PS - I tested likewise on my Omnibook 800CT running Win95 and got the same good results. Breaks the heart that the OB's built-in IR doesn't have the same pixie dust they sprinkled on the Jeteye. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2000 17:08:28 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Sean Hoger Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Sean Hoger Subject: FS: 200LX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit A few days ago I posted my 200LX for sale on the list with a few accessories.

But that didn't help. If the modem init string is ATZ for your three modems, it only means, that the stored profile 0 is restored. But the stored profile 0 may differ on every of your three modems. Try AT&F instead of ATZ to restore the (unchangeable) factory setting. If this doesn't help, then it's getting harder, because you have to find out the setting of the modems which work and then you have to setup the not working modem with the working parameters. Newer modems report their complete setting with the command AT\S Write down the working setup and compare it with the not working modem. If you find any difference, change it in the not working modem and then save it to a profile, so that you can restore it later. A handbook of all 3 modems with the supported AT command set would be very helpful for this job.

I want to e-mail around to various ISPs to see if I will be able to use their service. My question is: What do I need to ask? What are some questions I can ask to see if they meet the requirements for me to be able to connect? I've been looking into service providers in the area I'm going to be living, but, are there any nationwide ISPs like earthlink or netcom that already been proven to work on the Palmtop in all cases? Or does it rely on the configuration of their local dialup I'd be using? I've just gotten my first Palmtop recently, so I'm new to this. I don't know how big of a search it is to find an ISP that is usable or if a script can be written for anything that disagrees. thanks, ct _____________________________________________________________ Looking for a well-honed B.S. detector trained on all the latest personal technology?

This should be easy. I have it set up to do something similar, but the files are in an LZH archive, and List is the default viewer. If you have the viewer and editor working OK, then they should also work for text files in archives. Either set VR as the default viewer or assign a ÝShift¨Ýletter¨ key combo to open files in VR. If you want to send me your .env file, I'll look it over and see if I can come up with something.

The Palm is never able to see the modem in a modem HotSync. I've also tried controlling the modem using pttelnet on the Palm and have no luck that route either. Has anyone else attempted this or have an opinion on whether it could work and things I should try differently? Also, are the IR protocols of the Palm and the 200lx incompatible?

Turns out to be an impossible work, if you have to rename some hundred files. If you use a Windows 3.x tool like WebWhacker it will rename the downloaded files automatically. When I download a whole site, it is usually for reference. For reference means, that it is a lot. I found another good solution for my reference stuff: Many websites are well formatted using tables. Those formatting goes lost, if you use HV. Of course, HV enables you to view single table cells. But it is the FORMATTING use that gets lost. In such cases I use HTMSTRIP to convert HTM files to ASCII text files. Formatted parts are converted into ASCII. The borders are then drawed as ASCII lines. Looks and works very well. Then I cut and paste the stuff into Notetaker. If someone wants to know, how the supersite looks after this conversion, I can send the file offline. -goe- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 9 Mar 2000 09:58:15 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , BOCHE@DE.IBM.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ulrich Boche Subject: Re: PGP Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii On Wednesday, 08.03.2000 at 07:26 GMT, Curtis Cameron wrote: > A Meshar wrote: > >Pkware says the longer password the more secure is the > >encryption.

I think I remember that the real time clock is read on boot-up and then the Dos time is kept updated by an interrupt generated by a countdown of the timer. For that reason, speeding up or slowing down the timer (often done in games and any program that plays music) can affect the clock if the program doesn't compensate. I remember that that is also true of the LX since I wrote a music program a few years ago and I had to avoid affecting the time. With that in mind it seems that since the LX doesn't normally get booted very often because turning it on doesn't reboot, slowing down the cpu would affect the time. I'm not sure why it doesn't. The cpu does slow down a lot. Between keystrokes, for example. Maybe the real time clock is read whenever the system is turned on in the lx. That would be non-standard but I can't see what it would hurt. Also, maybe there's some built in compensation when the cpu slows down. Anybody know?

In most PCs these are (I think) synchronized on bootup. Checked the LX ref and found that the palmtop resets the BIOS clock on power-up, even though it doesn't reboot then. It's necessary because in deep sleep mode (power off), the 18mS timer is stopped.

It's on the Palmtoppaper CD-Infobase if you have that, search for HP-SOK. Apparently it's also on nifty according to this link http://www.yk.rim.or.jp/~honda/HP200LX-soft2.html I haven't found it anywhere else. It's postcardware, but I don't know if it can be distributed other than the above methods. (By the way, is that an X-Finder screen shot at the top of this link? It doesn't look like any I've seen.) One nice feature of HP-SOK is that it includes a level compiler. There are websites that have new levels to download and compile. Maybe I'll look into that instead of leaving Sokoban.

It'll catch up with the > 200lx. It still has a way to go, though. I know that there are a lot of anti-MS people in this group, but I would much rather go with a WinCE machine than a Palm. As far as I can see, the WinCE machines are far more powerful than the Palms - my brother let me use his Palm III fairly extensively, and I can say that it was a very limited palmtopping experience compared to the power and functionality of the trusty LX. With WinCE on the other hand, the OS and hardware is far more powerful (albeit with plenty of downsides, such as low reliability, miserable battery life) - and one major advantage for us LXers is that you can get a DOS emulator. On a more personal level, I prefer keyboard-based palmtops to those without - I'm lucky in that I find typing comfortable even on the LX's keyboard. For me, a nice future replacement for the LX would be something like HP's Jornada 690 (if anyone's using/used one, why not post a review?) - apparently, a very good machine - but a little smaller, and with a better, more stable version of WinCE. > Sim City was just released for the Palm. :) Alternatively, you can play it on your LX.

My vague recollection is that Microsoft had a COMPRESS program which is the inverse of EXPAND, and that it was shipped with some of Microsoft's language products (Visual BASIC 3.0 perhaps).

I hooked a cable that changed 25 pin to 9 pin serial and hooked the 9 pin side to a Radio Shack gender changer and from there to the Cpack connectivity cable plugged into the Ptop.

Actually there is a bit of confusion about the IIIc's battery life. A few of the early reviews (like cnet) assumed the battery life would suffer as it has so clearly suffered on CE units... A company (name escapes me) ran some battery life comparisons between the Palm V and Palm IIIc and found the following: Palm V (with backlight off), and Palm IIIc with brightness set on high (which most say is too bright to use) both averaged 8-10hrs of battery life. Setting the Palm IIIc's brightness to the low setting resulting in over 16 hours of battery life. Im a long time HPLX user, have tried using CE units in the past, and have been a daily user of the Palm V for the past 4-6 months. The Palm V is the closest ive come to battery life nirvana since the HPLX... I sometimes to put it on the charger for weeks at a time, but im almost never wanting for power. By contrast the CE units ive used tend to go dead within a couple days even if you NEVER turn them on or use them... so its a constant reminder in the back of your head that you better change the batteries or recharge it or its history. I have always seen that as THE biggest problem with CE. > >I know that there are a lot of anti-MS people in this group, >but I would much rather go with a WinCE machine than a Palm. >As far as I can see, the WinCE machines are far more >powerful than the Palms - my brother let me use his Palm III >fairly extensively, and I can say that it was a very limited >palmtopping experience compared to the power and >functionality of the trusty LX. Its not in question the the current crop of CE units are more powerful than the Palm, but by the same token so is my notebook and i get about the same amount of use from it before im hunting for a wall outlet. :) >With WinCE on the other hand, the OS and hardware is far >more powerful (albeit with plenty of downsides, such as low >reliability, miserable battery life) - and one major >advantage for us LXers is that you can get a DOS emulator. the killer problem for me is battery life... if a handheld is not there ready to run when i need it... then its a waste of my time to carry it around... I found when i used a CE machine that it was offline more often than ready to use.

There's quite a few versions of Sokoban for everything from Palm devices to Xwindow on unix. I think a lot of them do have the same levels. It get's easier after playing awhile. The puzzles get harder, but you start to see traps before they're a problem, and you learn some of the tricks. Once you've learned these, some of the later levels become more a test of endurance than a challenging puzzle. I recall one where you have to push a block from one side, then go all the way around the puzzle to the other side to give it a push, then back and forth, again and again it seemed. Very tedious.

Your autoexec.bat "maxdos -l" simply loads MaxDos to make it available. Once in AppMgr, you can (for instance) create an icon that has this in the "Path:" Path: a:\maxdos.com | And what you'll get is a DOS session that has completely swapped out 200. Changing the value for DOS memory in Setup/System/Advanced is independent of MaxDos.... if you're at 386304 free and you ask for 390k, you're not going to get it using the normal DOS icon, but you can still get that much (and more) if an icon is setup to run MaxDos.

Now here is the problem, when I set the 'dos size' above 380 (setup; f5 system; advanced; Dos=390) and I go back to the system manager and try to start DOS it fails ('not enough memory to open the application') Now, I KNOW (from running a DOS session before, and running mem /c in it), that the memory structure looks like this (when I've run DOS from the system manager with the DOS mem set at 380) Name Size MSDOS 20800 COMMAND 2992 ...etc 200 208800 FREE 386304 Ok, so why didn't the system (i.e. 200) get out of the way for the expanded DOS session?

You can find tools for dumping GDB files to comma seperated text files and vice versa on SUPER - search for "gdbdump" or "dbusrc". The latter is the source code to the first (written in C), so there in a way you will have a description of the database format. I also think there are more formal specifications available, but I don't know where (LX reference guide perhaps?). I have never needed a description of the file format, using gdbdump/gdbload to do the hard work has always been enough for me :-) Cheers, Laust ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2000 21:10:23 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Ness Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Ness Organization: Mind/Matter Subject: Re: LX 'native' file formats?

It saves images as jpeg files on a compact flash. The hi-res pictures are usually about 300k-500k and the lo-res are about 125k-150k. If the DC20 is older (just going by the number) it'll have even lower resolution and smaller files. On the 280, and maybe older ones, the amount of loss in the compression is selectable. The numbers I gave are for the least loss and largest files. It came with a 35 meg Sandisk compact flash card that the 200lx can read. But I'm not sure what advantage there would be in that. You couldn't view the pictures on the LX. For extra storage you can buy extra flash cards. I've been told that the lo-res pictures are better than you need unless you're printing. If they'll be viewed on a screen it's got much better resolution than the screen. So that means my flash card can hold over 200 pictures of 150k each since I won't normally be printing them. If I want to print and use hi-res then I can still hold 70 pictures of 500k each. Extra flash cards are cheap enough if I want more. On the other hand a laptop with a pcmcia slot and a good screen would let you view the pictures and would provide huge off-line storage. It could hold literally thousands of pictures. 2000 of the largest picture files per gig.

But I do use Windows Matlab on my desktop. I do simple animations and it's a big help understanding problems I run into. Matlab is oriented around matrices. Everything is a matrix to it. Even scalars. It does everything else, too, but matrices are at the center of it's design. That's why it's useful to me. Everything is done with matrices in animation. When I got into this I didn't even know what a matrix was. Matlab was reccomended as a way to learn. I still don't understand them but I know how to use them now. On the 200lx I think Matlab's interface is nicer but I'm sure a lot would disagree. Matlab is command oriented. Just like dos. Derive has a menu system modelled after Lotus 123. That probably means fewer keypresses but I'm more accustomed to commands. Derive does use a split screen to let you see graphs and functions at the same time. You can edit the function while looking at the graph. That's pretty nice. Matlab either shows you the graph screen or the editing screen. It toggles between them. Both work very nicely on the 200lx. There's no problem with dim colors. Or if there is, they were invisible and I didn't know enough to miss them. :) Derive also has a 95lx mode although I haven't tried that. Both programs are small. 200 or 300k. Something like that. Derive is much easier to install but Matlab, once insatlled, can be zipped and reinstalled from the zip file. I'm not sure I'll actually use either one of these on the palmtop. I might use Matlab, but for me it's easier to use the Windows version. I rarely program on my desktop computer and it's sometimes nice to have reference material on a seperate screen when I'm programming on my palmtop or my laptop.

I don't know how many times I have dropped the 200 lx and it just keeps going. I hope thaddeus fixes jornadas. Anyway, I am finding that I use the 200lx a lot for email, and taking quick notes. I have also converted my word documentation to .rtf's and use the docrtf utility to convert to memo type doc files. Then I can carry documentation with me. I have used Camerons utility to copy my outlook contact to the 200lx also. Sometimes I also ftp stuff from work to my personal account the ftp with my 200lx and pick it up. I would be interested in any personal productivity hints anyone has. I want to get the most out of the 200lx.

As you know has the HP 200LX an IrDA Interface and is therefore physically prepared to communicate with the C Pen which has an IrDA Interface too. Are there any software that supports communication betweeen the HP 200LX and the C-Pen? To inform you a little more anout the C-Pen features you will find a short description of the operating system (ARIPOS) in the annex. The full description can be found at www.cpen.com/devzone. I would be grateful, if you could give support concerning the questions above. kind regards Martin Tischer Gl|ckaufsegenstrasse 51 D-44265 Dortmund > > > Email: martin.tischer@t-online.de ANNEX: ARIPOS is a single-threaded message based operating system. The essential parts of ARIPOS are described briefly below. The most fundamental part is the kernel. The kernel handles the following tasks: IrDA (i.e. IrPhys, IrLAP, IrLMP, TinyTP, IrObex), me mor below). Image processing is another important function that the kernel provides. The image processing includes operations such as calibration and correction of skewed images.The system module provides install/uninstall procedures, task-handling system, boot-table information, minimal thread support, file types, menu-hooks and data-storage.The input module is a very essential part of the operating system as it handles the input from the CMOS sensor. The input can be either an image or a vector stroke. This raw data is processed by the OCR module (if it is an image) or by the C Write module (if it is a vector stroke). (In coming versions of the C-Pen SDK there will be an API that allows programmers to create their own input modules, such as OCR or C Write.) The GUI module provides tools for creating GUI objects such as dialogs, buttons and input fields. Third party software developers can, due to the fact that the GUI system is object-oriented, create new GUI-classes. The shell module is a simple application browser that displays the icons in the main menu. In addition the shell is responsible for showing a splash screen at start up and for security issues such as checking the PIN-code. --------------------------------------------------------------------------= - --- end of forwarded message --- * * Al Kind, 3113 Horsebarn Rd U-193, Storrs CT 06269-4193 USA * Phone:(860)486-6126 EFax:(413)826-8780 **TeamHP200LX** ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 11 Mar 2000 22:33:23 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Curtis Cameron Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Curtis Cameron Organization: None Subject: Re: LX 'native' file formats?

Speaking of information architecture ... Why don't you just try it? Mostly, DIP switches of printers are there for ajusting code table, fonts etc. Not the port.

They worked great so I've since bought 40 of the AA and ten of the AAA. I put them in a lot of toys and devices and they outlast akaline in a lot of cases because they can handle high discharge rates. The only problem with them is that they have shelf discharge.

Before SPAM was a real problem, SMTP servers used to relay mail for anybody that asked. Spammers then started using this feature so that you could not filter out their mail by IP address. Now most properly secured SMTP servers will not forward mail for you unless you come from a 'friendly' IP address. It sounds like since you log into t-online, compuserve does not recognize your IP address as a friendly address. The solution is to use t-online's SMTP server instead of compouserve's when you are logged onto t-online. I'm suprised that your ISP did not know this... or perhaps I am assuming that this is the problem but it is actually something more complex. BTW: THe pop server doesn't complain because it uses authentication and you can't relay mail through a POP server. >-----Original Message----- >From: Martin Bergvill Ýmailto:martin@MOBILPOST.COM¨ >Sent: Sunday, March 12, 2000 10:42 AM >To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu >Subject: Re: ÝHPLX-L¨ T-Online & SMTP.COMPUSERVE.COM > > >On Sat, 11 Mar 2000 01:44:48 +0000, Gerhard Behrens > wrote: > >> T hope that one of the German palmtoppers can help in >> explaining a curious behaviour by T-Online as ISP.

It is not necessarily a reflection on your modem's ability. It could be the other modem on the other side cannot handle that speed.

Andreas is a heavy Buddy user, and has done all the development of WWW/LX and Post/LX with buddy in his machine. I suspect if there is a special reason why the two do not run together it would have come up during development. The memory issue is something that is well known, and well understood, and little can be done with it other than workarounds, since the system limits addressing by applications quite severely. If you try to run all the stuff INSIDE system manager, you will DEFINITELY have problems.

I do not think Super Software Carousel is a significant issue. These are two different "animals"! Software Carousel is a task switcher. It will rotate workareas between memory and a drive location. Super Software Carousel is a creation of Hal's - he took many many aprograms, and put together a smart menu to allow you to run them by using Software Carousel.

Unfortunately, MS purchased the product from whomever and then discontinued it - once again limiting choice and forcing conversion to a windows product when a dos product was acceptable. There are still folks who don't believe DOS ever supported any type of graphic application!!! I wonder if alternate maps can be used with the US version? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2000 22:33:20 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , chris@AMLOG.DEMON.CO.UK Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Chris Randle Subject: Re: LX 'native' file formats?

Your data is unique, but their header isn't. This knowledge makes an attack on their encryption a lot easier. 2) The Docs in v2.5 (DOS) suggest that their encryption is utterly secure. I suppose they would, wouldn't they, but I wonder if they've beefed it up in the new release? 3) BEWARE. Although PKZIP encrypts your data, it doesn't protect your filenames. If you use the -v option in PKUNZIP to view an encrypted zip file, it will show the files' names. This can be more embarrassing than having someone see the contents if you have BIG-JUGS.JPG and you're simply a pottery enthusiast. 4) For the 200LX, my vote goes to SecDev. It works really well and I trust it. --- Chris R. On Wed, 8 Mar 2000, Russel Brooks wrote: > Curtis Cameron wrote: > > So what encryption scheme does PKZIP use?

I can now HotSync the Palm IIIx using my HP200lx and its PCMCIA modem. The adapter is made from 2 $1 DB9 male connectors and some old phone wire. The pins are: 200lx Palm 8 7 7 8 6 6 5 5 3 2 2 3 I use the HotSync cable (have not tested the cradle yet - it's at the office) and the Palm Modem US/Canada set to 14,000 on the Palm side. I then run Commchk from Super on the 200lx side set to 8n1 14,000. The Palm then dials my home machine using the 200lx as an expensive modem and performs a HotSync. Works like a charm and saves me the purchase of another modem for use with the Palm. Best part is that my DIY adapter has a certain geek-chic. I've also started transferring files from Palm to 200lx. I found a commercial package called PalmPrint from Stevens Creek (www.stevenscreek.com) that does the trick. Hook the HotSync Cable to the 200lx using a null modem adapter. Turn on DataComm on the 200lx with capture on too. Tell PalmPrint to print to text and then select Memo, Clipboard, or ToDo. The text is captured to the 200lx as a text file. PalmPrint can do IR too but apparently the 200lx uses a different protocol. If anyone can tell me how to get the 200lx to understand the Palm when it speaks IR, that would make my day.

I agree, but they used to have a lower upgrade price until the number of HP200LX versions sold dropped. I think we get charged more because we are a low volume market.

The alternative is to just remove the built-in rubber feet and buy some rubber feet at Radio Shack or a similar store, the large kind meant for big equipment, and put them on your palmtop. I've done this and it's amazing: the palmtop is more stable, not rocking around while I type even if there's a bulge in the middle, I don't have to worry about spilling liquids next to it because they just run under it, the grip is made a lot stronger, and finally, the screws are exposed so I can take the palmtop apart and put it together again with minimal effort. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2000 18:19:08 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , crosstown316 Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: crosstown316 Subject: Re: Flashcard formating In-Reply-To: Mime-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit on 3/12/00 2:40 PM, Longden Loo at lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET wrote: >> I have or had a 5Mb flash card for my 200lx, I found out that my >> mac powerbook could read the disk and i could do much faster file >> transfers through the powerbook PCMCIA slot, then i formatted the >> flashdisk with my powerbook, and i screwed everything up, >> My powerbook can read the disk but my 200lx can't , and it can't >> even format the disk, >> I tried putting the card in a windows laptop, and it could not read >> it either, >> Any suggestions? > Message-Id: > <20000312144103.GXA10870.mtiwmhc25.worldnet.att.net@Ý12.72.155.246¨> > Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2000 14:41:07 +0000 > > Try running d:\bin\fdisk100.exe on the 200LX.

A fundamental difference between the two programs is that Matlab is designed to import and handle real data while Derive, as its name implies, is meant for deriving equations etc. ie Derive is a symbolic processor with weak data manipulation/analysis capabilities while Matlab is strong on data analysis/manipulation and has no symbolic capabilities. Reflecting the difference between data analysis and symbolic manipulation the current version of Matlab has hooks to Maple (a more full-featured symbolic manipulation program and vice versa. Mathcad is a data analysis type orogram that has a highly reduced subset of Maple as its symbolic manipulation core. Incidentally if anyone has an unused copy of a palmtop compliant version of Matlab available I would be most interested. The earliest version of Matlab I have requires a 386 processor.

I originally bought Derive a long time ago to help me deal with my kids' algebra homework. A Dad's duty to help with the trouble spots can be quite a burden after a 12 hour workday and a 75 mile drive home at 10pm. Derive didn't let them off the hook ... it just let me check their symbolic equations at various steps to catch where they went wrong (if they did) .. a great tool when the mind is barely able to make 1+1=2 at the end of the day . Later on, I also used it during refresher trig and calculus classes to double-check symbolic proofs, derviatives and integrals. I believe the new TI-89 has Derive's symbolic capabilities built-in. I'm not sure how Matlab's data analysis features compares to 123, which is also frequently used to slice and dice data, but I imagine it must offer a richer set of analysis tools. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2000 00:16:12 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Loic Sautour Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Loic Sautour Subject: Re: T-Online & SMTP.COMPUSERVE.COM Comments: To: Ed Padin In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I had the same problem trying to send e-mails through compuserve using a different ISP.

Traveling Software doesn't seem to exist anymore, there's just something known as LapLink.Com and they no longer offer this package but I have a copy of Version 1.01 dated July, 1996 that came factory-installed on an old laptop I have. The whole thing is just a bit over 1 Mbyte in size before installation. I haven't used it for some time, but I recall it was intended as an enhancement to browsers for retrieving and storing entire websites for offline browsing. Sorry that I don't have much more information about how it stored that on your local hard drive but maybe I can re-install it and give it a test. Separate offline browser packages seem to have disappeared since Microsoft put that function into the Internet Explorer browser (starting with IE version 4). Unfortunately, Microsoft makes a total scramble of the pages they let you download so that only IE can make use of it offline. Everything gets spread around in randomly named subdirectories under C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 (if you have version 5, that is). To see how to use IE's offline browsing features, connect to the Internet, launch IE, and access the Web site that you want to make available for offline viewing. Next, pull down the Favorites menu and click 'Add to Favorites'. When the Add Favorite dialog box appears, select a folder to store the link (if you already have a link to the page in your Favorites menu, you can just select the same folder that already contains the link). Then, select the 'Make Available Offline' check box. Once you select a Web page, you schedule a download. To do that, click the Customize button. When you do, you'll see the Offline Favorite Wizard's introduction screen and click the Next button. When the second screen appears, you can configure how many levels of pages from the Web site you want to download.

The program has a simple user interface modeled loosely after the Filer application. This software is still beta, but there are no known serious bugs. Features - Uses the PAL interface for that familiar System Manager look and feel. - Profiles for frequently accessed ftp sites store username, password and initial directories for quick connection. - Split screen showing local and remote directories. Just select a file and press a key to transfer. Or select and copy multiple files - Recursively copy entire directories - Uses the WatTCP TCP/IP stack. Works with LXTCP, Goin' Postal, etc. Requirements LXgFTP requires a properly configured packet driver that supports the BOOTP protocol. The recommended packet driver for PPP over modem or serial line is dospppd by Antonio Lopez Molero available from personal.redestb.es/tonilop/ or lxtcp.hplx.net. For ethernet the recommended packet driver is LXEN2216 by Rod Whitby available at rwhitby.hplx.net/lxeth/. It will also work with the older Lxether3 available on SUPER at www.palmtop.net.

Furthermore the kernel is responsible for the persistent storage architecture in C-Pen, the HDB (see below). Image processing is another important function that the kernel provides. The image processing includes operations such as calibration and correction of skewed images.The system module provides install/uninstall procedures, task-handling system, boot-table information, minimal thread support, file types, menu-hooks and data-storage.The input module is a very essential part of the operating system as it handles the input from the CMOS sensor. The input can be either an image or a vector stroke. This raw data is processed by the OCR module (if it is an image) or by the C Write module (if it is a vector stroke). (In coming versions of the C-Pen SDK there will be an API that allows programmers to create their own input modules, such as OCR or C Write.) The GUI module provides tools for creating GUI objects such as dialogs, buttons and input fields. Third party software developers can, due to the fact that the GUI system is object-oriented, create new GUI-classes. The shell module is a simple application browser that displays the icons in the main menu. In addition the shell is responsible for showing a splash screen at start up and for security issues such as checking the PIN-code. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2000 16:22:31 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , hpstaber@COMPUSERVE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Hans Peter Staber Subject: Re: T-Online & SMTP.COMPUSERVE.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit > I had the same problem trying to send e-mails through compuserve using a > different ISP.

Compuserve changed their previously "open" SMTP to protected mode mid of Jan 2000 to prevent spammers using smtp.compuserve.com It was officially announced to all compuserve members in time. I was not cought by surprise as I use POST/LX which lets you define a special SMTP configuration depending on the ISP used and the mailbox accesed : If in the Ýmybeloved¨ mailbox section of POST.CFG you have a setting like: SMTP=my.beloved.smtp add a line such as Special=CIS and one line like SpecialSMTP=smtp.compuserve.com This means: normally use my.beloved.smtp as SMTP server. However, if the dial-up setup used in WWW/LX is "CIS", use smtp.compuserve.com as SMTP instead.

It was Derive before it changed its name. I don't think it was a Microsoft product, though, so they probably just sold it. I've never used it myself (and never found a copy of it) but I'm curious as to how it compares to Derive and what the interface (or lack thereof) is like.

I bought a copy to the tune of something like $79 to run on my PC in, maybe '93 or '92 or so. It was, at the time, being developed in Hawaii; I remember because I had to phone them once or twice and it was fairly expensive to call there then. Around the same time I also bought Mathcad which has a much nicer user interface, and still can do symbolic maniputlations (it has Maple built in) and can do a certain amount of data manipulation as well as paste photos into it(windows version). The Derive people came around soliciting another version about the same time as the Mathcad people did but I only bit on the Mathcad 5 offer. Actually it was kind of stupid since version 4 has everything I've ever needed to use in there and 5 isn't really much of an improvement, just mostly a step closer to bill's bloatware. Derive, at the time (and I don't know if they still do) had a quite cryptic interface, and so far as I am concerned that's the main reason why Mathcad got my continuing business and derive didn't. But hey, I also don't know if Mathcad will run under DOS, as I always ran only a Windoze version, so it's nice to know I have Derive and it will run on the LX. So far as I know there are (or were) about 3 packages that did (do) symbolic manipulation: Derive, Maple, and Mathematica. As mentioned, Mathcad had the underlying Maple engine built in. Matlab, as has been stated by someone is *very* much geared toward doing matrix operations. I am not aware of any symbolic capabilities in it though. I have only run it on the workstations here at school and didn't know it was ever a product built for DOS. It shortens drastically matrix manipulations (and even programming) though, since, after you've input (or read) your matrices, you write the (matrix)algebreic equations to get it to do the matrix ops, and it will treat the matrices like the variables in your algebreic eqns. It can execute script-like code, so your matrix ops can be put in the form of a program quite easily. That's quite a gem to find an old DOS copy of Matlab!

I don't know what the real cause of it, I hope some guys on this list can make any comment. It happened when I changed the main battery while the palmtop was still PLUGGED with an adaptor. I read this practice from the List (if I am not mistaken ;-). What happened next was that it just did not turned on. I tried to unplugged the adaptor, changing all batteries (including the backup one) with fresh ones, taking out all batteries and leave it for 2 nights, nothing happened - I've lost my luck. I noticed however that when I put all batteries into the palmtop, though can not be turned-on, it generated some heat at the back side. Anyway I took it to local HP service center and according to the technician the main board should be replaced and that it happened because of old-ages (being used since 1996). I could get the board (they have the stocks) but you would not believe how much they charge you, its a good USD400 for the part and service fee!!! (I wished it was easy to arrange double speed palmtop from Hal down to Jakarta/Indonesia). Well finally I bought a second hand and my life backs to normal again.

I use Turbo C but my solution will work as well or better with Quick C from the command line. I use Microsoft's Symdeb, the debugger they used to ship before Codeview came along. It's a symbolic and source level Debug lookalike. Not nearly as easy to use as the IDE debugger or Codeview but it works pretty well. It also works as well on com files since it doesn't rely on imbedded debugging information. There's an accompanying program, Mapsym, that converts the map file into a debugging info file that it uses. If you compile including line number information it lets you work on the source level for the most part. I'm not sure if you can do that from the IDE so you might need to use the command line compiler/linker. I use that with Make and let Make also run Mapsym if all goes well. I prefer that to using the IDE in any case. But Codeview or Turbo Debug would be nicer. :) Barry ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2000 18:05:19 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Martin Bergvill Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Martin Bergvill Subject: Post/lx problems & what to expect from a emailprovider?

This is what happens: I have two emails in the outbox of Post/lx. I connect to my ISP (which is not my emailprovider. I connect not only to my ISP but through a ethernet at school therefor I have to get my emailproviders smtp to work). Then I connect to the smtp(or the POP3 server first..does not matter). The smtp is supposed to reconize me by what I have in the From field and let me send the two mails in one session. Well it does not. I am able to send the mails, but one per session because I am considered a spammer by the smtp. This really pisses me off. My emailprovider can not find out why Post/lx/smtp does not get along. But have said that there is nothing more he can do. There is nothing wrong in my setup. Support at Dasoft gets the same result as I do. If I use a desktop pc with Calypso mail or anything else I have no problems Sending more than one ameil per session. I will set up Goin Postal and see if get the same error on the Hplx. My question is of course what can be wrong. My emailprovider runs there services on a NT platform as far as I know. The above problem is because of their spam countermeasure. This question is of course very tough to answer, so let me put it this way: What can I expect them to do with this problem.

While im holding hope that in true Microsoft Style they will get CE right (or close to right) in 3.0, i still think they miss a fundamental problem with all the CE units ive seen or used... battery life... the units use fast processors, etc. and draw more power than their little batteries can provide for extended periods. Using the HP's and Palm i go weeks without even thinking about batteries, while my experience with CE devices has been the opposite... pull it out to use it and almost invariably the battery is low. If its not there ready to go when i need it, its useless to me. What will be truely sad is if Rapier (CE 3.0) does come thru and provide a much improved experience, but its still not usable do to hardware design by folks that don't have a clue about how a handheld is likely to be used. Right now, today a WinCE machine could be running the PalmOS or DOS and I still wouldnt have any use for it due to battery life. >My 200LX will continue to be my primary machine because of the keyboard and >all the DOS apps I use.

We'll see how well they stack up against Palm -- but I >think Windows CE is finally ready for prime time. The Palm IIIc is still an unknown, many of the reviews say its battery life is shorter, but in tests by a couple software producers the IIIc battery out performs the Palm V (which i have used for months without battery problems). Feature wise, and bell for bell / whistle for whistle the CE units and their Pocket PC childer will beat the palm's hands down, CE has always had more features and will undoubtedly continue to have. Feature / Spec lists work well in the PC world with notebooks and desktops, but handhelds are a more personal choice... afterall there is a reason that Palm still (despite many naysayers) has the lions share of the market. I used to view the palms as little more than toys, but then after bowing out of WinCE development due to the costs involved and mandatory use of MS tools, I started PalmOS development, and found the machine quite a bit more capable than I had assumed, its basically a little Macintosh Classic, it doesnt run the MacOs or anything but has basically similar hardware... which also gives it a bit of kinship to the HP which is basically a PC-XT. Im a confirmed gadget junkie having had everything from a Tandy PC-2 and HP95lx to Newtons, HP100/200/1000, Palms, and yes even numerous WinCE machines but the HP's and the Palm's are the only ones that have won me over for daily use.

How many 'real' aplications not from Microsoft are out for Wince? I know Microsoft has enough money to burn and make their own revolution, but I am noticing the gradual appearance of each of the products I regularly use in my hplx, redone for the Palm (when InfoSelect for the Palm was announced, it really got my attention). You mention Word and Excell, in a keyboardless machine?!? Somehow I am skeptical on that area.

OTOH, the format isn't as neatly laid out for the 200LX as the Lexicomp handbook is, so it might need massaging. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2000 17:26:00 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Giulio Girolami Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Giulio Girolami Subject: Configure AutoRoute Express Comments: To: "Guenther Helmuth E."

I think they define a spammer as name which they can not find in their customer database. Pretty lousey security if you ask me.

To avoid dublication of effort I think it's fair to let you know that I have already contacted C-Technologies. They told me that there are no plans or initiatives for developping a software package that supports communication of C-Pen and DOS based machines like the HP 200LX. So from my view the only chance to get ahead is finding an expert who has had a similar problem and has solved it. I think many experts are sitting in the US but they don't know the C-Pen. So I will try to put them together. By the way I live in Dortmund.

To a large degree it does, although there are some products for CE that Palm doesnt support (mostly multi-media, mp3, etc) palm has a huge amount of software available for it, and most of it is free or very low cost... often less than $10. As for the developers, im one of them and really tried hard to develop for CE, but its just too expensive for too little market share... while palm developers can download a GNU compiler and start coding palm apps with $0 startup costs, WinCE developers must buy a CE development kit which is an add-on for Microsoft C++ (or VB if thats still supported) so you have to buy that too (which MS didnt see as an obstacle as EVERY developer should already have MS C++ or VB). ...and there wasnt (maybe still isnt) an emulator so you realistically need a palmtop from each hardware platform your are going to support to assure your app works as expected... and for all that trouble you get what? 20% of the market instead of 70+% with palm which you can develop apps for with very little cost. Basically the CE development houses are either larger companies, or really diehard hobbists who already had the developement tools on hand. The grass roots development community that has sprung up around the Palm has few comparisons in scope... except perhaps DOS, Windows, and Linux. Well enough ranting.

From what ive heard so far, the Color Palm has a very predictable discharge curve, so it doesnt drop off to nothing but falls gradually, although it will probably start dropping faster once it moves from full. Im curious how it works for you... I have an HP and a Palm V, the Palm V is great but color support in the IIIc may tempt me. :) >There is one disappointment and I guess I should have expected this, >but I didn't.

I would have liked to have seen a 320x320 screen with a low-res 160x160 (4 pixels become one) mode for compatibility. Even if implemented like greyscale support was originally (ie supported by the hardware, but no builtin apps used it) it would have been a nice feature for 3rd party apps and future versions of palmOS. But at any rate im degressing.

If you use a Palm like I use my HP (I recharged my 200lx after 17 Buddy Hours in a week), you'll have to recharge one at least twice a week based on its tested battery life. I read using my HP about an hour and half daily while commuting and constantly using the calculator and 230 MB of dictionaries I have installed. If I had a CE 3.0 machine, I'd probably also use it to listen to music while commuting to replace my MD player. Most Palm users, unless they read ebooks alot, have the power on a 15 to 30 minutes a day. Thus a color Palm would run two to three weeks under that use scenario. It was noted on Ugeek (good place for info on Psion and Palm) that Palm users were starting to sound like Mac users (I bleed rainbow) and defensive about battery life in various newsgroups.

Palm rates their battery life in weeks of normal use, which doesnt compare well against battery life in hours etc as you alude to above. But my earlier comments (at least as far as the Palm V, numerous CE units, and HP's) were based on identical usage patterns with the devices... Ive found the HP's (with normal AA batteries), the Palm III (with normal AAA batteries) and Palm V (with rechargable li-ion polymer batteries) to have comparable battery life... lasting for weeks to months between battery changes with a my normal daily use which probably amounts to an hour or more a day. The WinCE devices ive used (and later sold on ebay ) seem to go dead in a week or less even if you NEVER turn them on at all. In daily use the b/w devices become battery gluttons and the color devices need to keep a close eye on where the recharger is because it will be needed sooner than later... and often right in the middle of a meeting mid-day or at another inconvienient time. I havent used the IIIc from palm yet, so anything i say is based on what ive read from palms literature and (more importantly) what independent testing on battery life from a few software companies have turned up. The tests ive seen show the palm IIIc at middle brightness to have approximately the same (actually a bit better) battery life than the Palm V. Since the Palm V shows no difference in my usage from a Palm III or palm im hoping the IIIc will do fine in that regard. As for 'palm' users 'getting' defensive about battery life etc. I don't know for others but ive been ranting about battery life since HP abandoned the 200lx and it became clear that a successor would eventually need to be found for my trusty companion. There have been a great number of handhelds come out in the past few years, and that vast majority (most of them CE) try so hard to cram every feature under the hood that they can... they loose sight of the devices usefulness in the process. After a few bouts with CE and completely confirmed in Palm was a mere toy... I finally tried one (bought for pennies on ebay), and found it unexpectedly to share many of the traits that I found so useful with the HP, and #1 YEP DEFINITELY MY #1 concern was that the battery life is sufficient that the unit is there when i need it without having to constantly worry and monitor it like i found myself doing with the CE units. The CE/Palm debate can go on forever, just as DOS/Windows, and PC/Mac, im not a Palm Zelot or CE fanatic, ive pretty much used most of the handhelds out there at one point or another (with the exception of the Nokia 9000i which ive always wanted to try ) and every unit ive tried be it Omnigo, Newton (except 2k), Amstrad, Mobilepro, Mobilon, or casio have always lost out to HP... only the Palms have performed well enough and been there when i needed them enough to keep around. :) Although im still hoping the new Linux PDA from samsung may catch my interest. Im a confirmed gadget junkie so im sure it or something else will grab my attention for a while...

While I am figuring out the best way to fix it, I dug up some of the also-ran Palmtop PCs that I have accumulated. My first inclination was toward the 95LX, but I have been too spoiled by the amount of information presented on the 200's screen as well as its much richer built-in apps, and so I let the 95 lie. The Zoomer (AST GridPad version) I didn't even take for a spin because I well remember that in spite of it's excellent screen resolution, size, and contrast and the richness of the built-in apps, it was too slow to be practical as a PIM. The quirky handwriting recognition only magnified the speed problem. Then there is the HP OmniGo (I have the 100). A potential gem with it's dual input, 360-degree hinge, Graffiti (IMHO the best solution in theory and practice to the handwriting recognition problem), zippy performance, and decent suite of apps. I could even learn to live with the difficult screen, with its low contrast, high reflectivity, and somewhat small size (if you view it at the right angle it's OK) and the quirky battery usage (after all, AA Alkalines in bulk are cheap and can be easily replaced before the final curtain). But the inanity of implementation of the OS/User Interface and some aspect of the built-in apps has made me nearly smash it to bits a few times! The appointment book, for me the defining application for any Palmtop as I use it, is pretty good, taling may cues from the impeccable version in the 200LX. The month view, the single feature of the 200LX appointment book that holds it far-and-above any other to date, is admirable for what is shows you in the small screen area. But the l ack of an appointment-only option in the Appt. view, as well as the absence of a few other basic adjustments, makes it too much of a chore to manage. Cleaning out old appointments, which one must do to keep the performance from getting very bogged down, while selectively keeping some for the record is very tedious and time-consuming. And the To-Do function is of very limited use as more than a handful of carry-forwards really slows the app down almost everywhere. For that matter, all the database-like apps get unnacceptably slow after a modest amount of entries are accumulated, and the delay seems to grow geometrically with the number of entries. Maybe I am spoiled by the 200LX allowing me to accumulate lots of old stuff (like one full year of appointment and to-do entries with several every day) with only a minor performance hit. Then there is the lack of scroll-bars for pages that have more than one screenful. Who knows how much more is there, and who wants to hold the little up or down thingy for a long time. And Help that does not stay open. How many times have I gone through the steps of getting to the Graffiti punctuation keystrokes from the start? The spreadsheet can only be described as "cute" with its 64x64 limitation. And I still can not fathom how to manage the equation solver case list. Just when I think I have got it figured out, I get another useless copy of my equation or I lose some changes I just made. Don't get me wrong - the OmniGo is an admirable machine in many ways, but it irritates me that it falls short of being truly practical in areas that could easily have been better. On the OmniGo, the lack of file-level access is terribly irritating, especially when the attempt to "hide" the filesystem from the user's concerns fall flat on its face in the long run. At least the Zoomer had the File Manager, though mucking with the innane Geo-DOS file structure is like traversing a 3-D minefield. And could they have made worse use of RAM cards on the OmniGo? The connectivity pack software is shameful in it lack of emulation of some very basic functions on the handheld itself - like no month view in Appt. I can't believe they had the nerve to charge nearly $100 for that mess! Now to the WindowsCE world. Admitedly, my example is somewhat low-end and dated: a Cassiopeia A-11, I believe, running WindowsCE 1.0 or 1.1. The lack of a Find function in the calendar app, combined with no month view showing appointment headers makes this app essentially useless for me. Another show-stopper: scrolling through a Pocket Excel spreadhseet, something you need to do a lot with such a small view, is unacceptably slow. in general, I can't stand to see the slow performance simply because the little processor is so bogged down with essentially useless graphical interface fluff! I am curious to try an updated WinCE machine, but everytime I attempt to examine one in a store, either the battery is too low and there is no A/C power connected or the system is hopelessly locked up! And I don't even need to get into the battery life issue. In the end, the HP 200LX had nearly the perfect balance to make it a useful, practical device for professional and even serious amateur |-) to use, effectively and without embarassment. Why HP stopped this line, and even stopped production of this unit, is a mystery that only the gods of marketing madness can answer. In the meantime, what is the best way to deal with the hinge crack? I have read the FAQ and archive stuff at several main sites, so I am aware of: super-glue (aughh!), melt fusion, and brass braces. Right now, I have a little piece of clear 3M "Decorate and Repair" tape on it, and it is a serviceable temp fix. The brass braces sound like the best functional fix, and I don't mind the appearance, but I don't see myself doing the metal fabrication duties with much success. I was thinking of the hot-melt glue gun as one possible approach. Any suggestions/ recommendations/ experiences? Thanks, and apologies for the length. I just don't know how to control myself! |-) - Leonard W.

My first attempts to make it work were totally unsuccessful, until I disabled acemodem.com in autoexec.bat. Users of Ace Doubleflash cards will recall this little replacement for the cic100.exe modem driver included in ROM. The replacement modem driver was recommended by Ace for use with the Ace card drivers that had to be loaded in config.sys along with their version of stacker etc. It has lived for many years in my autoexec.bat and worked with several different modem cards over the years, but not this one. Anyway I no longer use the stacked Doubleflash card that I purchased years ago and so was able to dispense with the whole lot of Ace drivers including the modem driver. The new card works just fine with the d:\bin\cic100.exe driver.

This works nicely when > I use desktop email applications, but not with Post/lx. That's a bit different than what you told me. When you asked me to try this out you said they check for the domain name "mobilpost.com" in the FROM address, and you told me to use "avi@mobilpost.com". When I did, they cut me off after one message. If they check for "avi@mobilpost.com" they will not find it, and they are correct in assumeing that I am a spammer and cut me off. If I use a FROM: with "martin@mobilpost.com" they should find me in their list and let me use their SMTP. If you use a FROM: with "martin@compuserve.com" they should do what? The question also is what they check. I am assuming they check the FROM field in the email, but that is based on the assumption I formed when you told me to tey with the domain name. But is this really correct? > > How does the smtp server define that? > > I think they define a spammer as name which they can not find in their > customer database.

They also may be checking that you did an access to POP3 first. Did you ever set it up that way?

Please, please put that in your POST.CFG in the section that describes the ISP you are ACCESSING, not where you dial in... Considering the level of knowledge you described your rep has, he may not know what really happens, and you really should try. The POPFirst is a change you make to your OWN POST.CFG. It changes the behaviour of Post.exe so it first accesses the POP3 server, sends authentication and downloads anything that was there waiting for you. THEN it goes to SMTP. At that point they already know who you are, you just authenticated yourself. Please do the POPFirst=1 first of all, and let us know... When I tested for you, I had no access to POP3, and my second email was rejected. But that is to be expected. > Well I am not sure what goes on.

I have downloaded lxcic and can see from the documentation that it gives a lot of optional control and is quite small. The acemodem driver was also much smaller than cic100. When I get a chance I'll try lxcic in combination with the Ace Doubleflash drivers, although I no longer really need the latter. If lxcic works with the 56K modem I'll probably switch to it because of its size and flexibility.

Does that let the fuzzing go away? If this is the case, carefully pry off the screen's border plastic (this one that holds the labels 'HP' '100LX' and 'Palmtop PC / xMB RAM) at the left side.

It does not Also here the only thing I can think of is a lose contact. This time at the battery contacts that go to the mainboard. If you're familiar with opening the palmtop, open its body and look if the wires coming from the batteries are still 'snapped' into the battery contacts on the mainboard. If yes, try to clean them or look if one of these battery contacts have a cold soldering point. One of your problems (or maybe both) could have to do with a mainboard failure. Then you had to (let) exchange the mainboard.

Bad lightening might happen if you were trying to make something less dark and it didn't come out well. Bad lightning can occur during a thunderstorm. Hope that helps. :) Ted -- Theodore W.

Later, when things are slower I listen to my voice notes and enter appointments or process whatever I needed to do. It's also cool to send people voice notes via email. The battery life on alkalines sucks but the rechargable battery pack is not bad ($20). I can usually get about 10 hours constant use, even with backlight used often.

And the ram drive might be YOUR f: drive if you have a memory enhanced 200 altho it would really be the hp's c: drive with swapped references.

I do keep the backlight turned pretty low. It's too bright if I don't. I have hotsynched it every day and it charges then. Only 5 to 10 minutes a day but that's probably enough to distort any picture I'm getting of how long the battery life is. As for comments on combination Palm/WinCE sites, I read a lot of reviews of this thing before I bought it, some on Palm sites, some on Palm/WinCE sites and some on sites that aren't really about either. All the reviews either hadn't tested the battery life but expected it to be poor, or had tested it and were surprised at how good it was. Except the Palm/WinCE sites. Even the ones that tested it found it poor. Maybe they're a little pro-WinCE. :) I think the Color Palm probably has better battery life than the WinCE machines because the screen isn't as crisp and the cpu is a lot slower.

From following the list and from some other reading I find that is not so. Apparently Irda fulfills some very basic level of compatibility. But it does not cover all the ground, as illustrated by the recent discussion on Palm-HPLX connectivity. AFAIK, no one has yet come forward claiming to use that driver to print to the Cannon IRDA printer, for example. I imagine it might work if the Cannon is made to emulate an HP printer, but AFAIK it will not work correctly in native format, if at all. I would love to be wrong on this. I don't like my current HP portable printer, and would love to be able to use the Cannon one. Maybe some expert could chime in and explain why it does not work. Andreas? Mack? Anybody else? > The HP driver is limited in some respects, and there is another > driver out there (from Thaddeus? I forget) that might be more flexible. I believe both drivers are from HP.

Having the IrDA "translator" TSR on your palmtop is like having the correct serial cable to connect with a printer; you're right that it isn't a printer driver per se. But with the IrDA TSR *and* the printer driver, you should be fine, n'est pas? I'm no expert, I admit. Is it a DOS driver for the Cannon that you need? The MS Word for DOS 5.5 package currently (well, as of a couple of months ago) available for free download on their website-- to legitimate users of their Word for DOS 5.0 only, of course-- contains a whole lot of DOS printer drivers.

I went offline, connected the palmtop to the modem and guess what? The file was immediately downloaded, without any interruption. I had this experience more than once. so it CANNOT be by chance. And it was never the other way round. Sometimes it happens, that you cannot download a single byte from a site for some reason. But if WWW/LX started once, it ALWAYS gets the whole thing very fluently. Not so with IE or Opera on the desktop. What shall I say? I really would like to know, what the secret of WWW/LX is?

Yes it know seems that it must be Post/Lx that screws up the sending of my From address or the smtpserver screws something up when it talks to Post/lx. I have no idea what is wrong. My smtp lets me send messages as long as it has @mobilpost.com in the from field when I use desktop pc and Goin, but not with Post/Lx. It does not see that I am a @mobilpost.com user and therefor consider me a spammer. Time for forwarding this to Andreas? This is now a isolated Post/LX/Mobilpost problem.

If Martin@ is an alias and they really use your phone number as the account number then that may be an issue. You told me that long ago they let you get aliases, but no longer do this.

Yes, it seems they cut off a "strangger" presuming it to be a spammer, as they did to me, and that is ok for strangers, in fact they are too nice to even let one go through, but that is ok... The issue is still what happens with you. You may want to try the phone number rather than martin in the email address you put in the FROM:. If that is the case, then all they need to do is add aliases to their database. You also said you will try Going Postal, just to see if problem can be better isolated.

So it is something that is or is not set up in Post/LX, or some behaviour of the server when he sees something from Post/LX (I am not trying to be paranoid here :-) ...)

That's how I get most of my email for AT&T and cis and do newsgroups - www/lx on my win98 desktop. Using Palrun. It is efficient, I'm familiar with the interface and I don't have to worry about mail-virii executing when I look at the email. My only issue is that I cannot get a consistent 'window' size. Mostly it opens full screen but allows me to shrink it but I can't find any method under win98 (win95 before that) where I can LOCK in my preferred window size and location. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2000 15:35:58 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ed Padin Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ed Padin Subject: Re: WWW/LX wonder Comments: To: "iruther@istar.ca" Yes, but I'm curious to know if there is a way to get HV and the other applications to work through the windows IP stack. I know that those apps won't work without talking to the www/lx stack but maybe there's a way to get www/lx to use the windows IP stack.

It is nice to read good things. To be fair, I also hear stories going the other way. A customer recently tried, again and again to download files, and managed www12.exe and post22.exe, but for some reason could not get hv22.exe... He said this repeated over and over, over several days. I finally sent him the file attached to an email (using Post/LX of course! :) ...)

I do not know. Messages sent by me to anybody turns up with the correct From field. So I do not know where the error is. Why my smtp fails to read what is in the From field when I use Post/Lx I do not know. I will send a letter to my emailprovider and I will tell them all I know about this problem and ask them if they have any solution. I do not belive that I will get any help from them. > I created a log from the Post/LX session and from the > little that I know it shows that the server is ready for > another message then cuts off the communication. Yes that is what my emailprovider gets too when he Telnet to Port:?. I think he used a wrong emailadress and then he saw this behaviour when he tried to send two messages. This is how the smtp works.

The German telephone market just entered it's 2.phase of privatisation. The 1.phase took one year and is best described by "I want a piece of cake". The 2.phase now is more aggressive and translates to: "If I don't get your piece of cake I'll kill you". Prices are falling almost every week and you have to know which provider you have to predial for which distance at what time of day. Here is is where LxTel comes in. LxTel always displays the cheapest provider at the current time of day for all differnt distances within Germany and for most foreign countries. The new version has a least cost router and a phone book built in. If you select an entry of the phone book and press Enter, automatically the cheapest provider is selected and predialed through the modem (which must be connected). You only have to pick up the phone and talk. It also includes a list of call by call internet provider in Germany. You may use these providers from every landline without registration. They bill a very low minute rate to the owner of the landline. LxTel includes on it's help page 9 the phone numbers, login and passwords required to access these call by call ISPs. The phone numbers are identical all over Germany. If your email provider allows SMTP/POP access if you logged in through a differnet provider, these call by call ISPs may serve you while you visit Germany and have access to a landline. It should also work in Hotels, if they are not "preselected" to only one private phone provider. The usefulness of LxTel depends of the actuality of the underlying data base, which I update about every fortnight and send for free to the subscribers of my LxTel newsletter. I'm sorry to say, that all text in LxTel is in German. That is, if you want to use it, you should know some German.

(G)), is that sometimes it opens in a smaller window and NOT full screen, but most times it opens as a FULL_SCREEN_DOS_GRAPHIC program. But I don't seem to have control over this full/window operation. I like the smaller window. I believe it may have to do with my chosen graphic resolution/setting on the desktop and also what was open or what the cursor is actually on, when post opens its palrun-assisted-hp-graphic-screen. There is no consistency. The same occurs with accis. And I have a post-icon on the desktop, I have a "launcher" with Post on it - and now, on this new 'internet' keyboard, I have shocked MS and replaced its email selection with POST (g), so I only have to hit the "mail" key and Post is launched. BUT again, most times it opens full screen and once every ten or so times, it will open a smaller window. I should add, that unlike some OLDER DOS GRAPHIC programs where Windows says "this program must run in full screen and will not operate as a window", Post under Palrun is operational in a smaller window. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 18 Mar 2000 15:47:27 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , fjkaufman@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "F.

Retail is $69.95. I'll sell for $35 (plus $2 shipping in the USA). Description: IntelliSync for the HP 200LX is a program that enables you to synchronize your HP 200LX Appointment Book, Phone Book, NoteTaker, and Database applications with a host of popular Windows applications. This means that if you want to keep the same data in your HP and in your PC, there's an easy way to make sure that both systems contain the same, up-to-date information. IntelliSync has the ability to transfer data of different formats between your HP and your PC. But it does more than simply translate and transfer data. IntelliSync compares the records in your palmtop to the records in your PC. It then makes whatever changes are necessary in each system to keep them both up-to-date, and synchronized. In addition to synchronization, IntelliSync can also import and export data, backup HP 200LX files to your PC for safekeeping, and restore backed-up data to your HP. IntelliSync can also transfer data to your HP 200LX from other handheld computers. -- Tom Hoover N5NTM - http://www.hisword.net/tom - checkout HisWord(tm) Palmtop Bible at the above URL - ------- finger thoover@pobox.com for PGP key -------- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 18 Mar 2000 21:15:03 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Guenther Helmuth E."

Yes, with WWW/LX it should work. Just set PORT=-1 instead PORT=1 or 2 in the WWW.CFG and WWW/LX will use the IR port and will speak the IrDA protocol. But note that only WWW/LX has this capability of speaking IrDA; if you set another com program to COM1 and set COM1 to IR with LXPRO or another program that allows to set the serial port settings, the IR-port of the LX won't speak IrDA, but the HPSIR protocol. The Psion IrDA-Modem probably won't understand that. Please report if it works!

I really don't want to dim your enthusiasm about WWW/LX; maybe it is really a little wonder, I don't know. ;-) But: maybe you simply have different proxy settings in WWW/LX than on your desktop? I recognized a similar behaviour sometimes, and as far as I recall, problems disappeared by either deleting or adding a proxy setting in Netscape or IE.

You can download Excel View from microsoft.com. This is a windows app, but it lets you view any Excel file. (There are comparable programs for Word and Powerpoint. These are all free.) When you use this to open a .xls file, you can do Ctrl-A, then Ctrl-C to copy the entire contents to the clipboard. Then you can bring up notepad or wordpad and do Ctrl-V to paste the clipboard contents. Save this as a .txt file, and you will have a tab-delimited ascii file that contains what you want.

I don't think the 200LX's IR port is IrDA compliant, although some software packages have been written to allow it to print to IrDA prnters and communicate with phones and what not. What all would the 200LX be DOING if it were hooked up to a C-Pen?

Yep, it works great and is very quick. It uses more power than Sandisk cards do, though, at least in the 200LX. However, in most any other device, the Simple Tech cards perform better and use the same power as a Sandisk card. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 19 Mar 2000 20:34:30 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Nathalie Bugeaud Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Nathalie Bugeaud Subject: Re FYI: Hinge Crack Repair MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Richard & Patti wrote: >I found a good product that repairs the infamous hinge crack quite >well: Loctite Plastix Advanced Plastics Bonder, Item No. 01-82565 with all this hinge crack talk (i don't have one) i went and bought some "UHU" (German) superglue and smeared layers of it around the hinge edges - now my LX looks like (and is as strong as) a tank :) prevention is better than cure?

C-Pen is in essence an electronic high-lighter that remembers the text that you are marking. Carry it with you wherever you go! Your Personal Digital Assistant Make it a habit to bring your portable text collector with you, and you are always ready to read and save text from books, papers, brochures or business cards. You can easily record price-lists, timetables, wine-tips or witty quotes. You don t have to tear out pages any more. Your saved text files can later be transferred to your PC or to the 200LX instantly. It may also be possible to use C-Pen to read text directly into the text editor of the 200LX. There are no limits to your imagination! regards Martin Tischer P.S. I think it doesn't make sense to development software for an IrDA printer if the 200LX Ir port is not IrDA compliant.

They have the highest mAh rating of any NiMH batteries I've seen yet. I'd try them in the LX200 but I don't want to break up a set of four and I still have a good set of two older (5 years old) 1100 mAh batteries from Ace technologies.

When I connect to internet with modem or ethernet at home or by cellular I want to use "my.isp.smtp". If I connect through ethernet at the university I would like to use "my.emailproviders.smtp" Is it possible to use the above setup that you describe to do this? I should be able to use "my.emailproviders.smtp" always without problems, but because of my crappy emailprovider this is not possible. When using "my.emailproviders.smtp" I get errors but the mails get sent. (This is something I have to live with until I get this fixed) I usually use "my.isp.smtp". But I would like to be able to switch between them without editing the post.cfg all the time. I could of course have two mailboxes. One with "my.emailproviders.smtp" and one with "my.isp.smtp" , but if the above is possible to do I would rather do that. At the university I use dhcp to get a ip address.

Further, in message headers I can identify a line like Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 My guess is that the sender's messages contain the information about the character set being used to create the message.

It all depends on if you can find a volunteer, who knows the market and is willing to maintain the database. However I cannot say if the American system is compatible with the German system and if it would fit into LXTEL. In Germany you may select most providers by predialing their 5 digit Netnumber. This is called "open call by call". You don't have to be a registered customer. The costs for the call appear on the account of the ex-monopoly Telekom. There are also providers, you first have to register before you can use them and finally you may switch completely to a new provider (so called preselection). Then all your calls are routed through this single provider and you no longer have to predial it's Netnumber. Most private households use open call by call, whereas preselection is widespread in business. Prices have fallen to 1/10 of what they have been 3 years ago, and it is a real sport, to always use the cheapest provider, especially among the ethnic german group of the Swabians, where I belong to ;-) Stefan ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2000 11:01:20 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Tom Salwasser Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Tom Salwasser Subject: Re: lxtel Comments: To: "INTERNET:Stefan.Peichl@T-ONLINE.DE" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Message text written by INTERNET:Stefan.Peichl@T-ONLINE.DE >Prices have fallen to 1/10 of what they have been 3 years ago,< Ahhh, the efficiency of free markets and capitalism...

The connection to the SMTP server shows no sign of authentication; indeed I suspect that is a normal feature. One can understand the reluctance of an ISP to provide an SMTP service if there is no practical way to stop all the planet using theirs - hence the requirement to be an already-authenticated user of their dial-up service. From what I see of Goin' Postal (and I don't use this feature) one can have a single SMTP host but many (separately authenticated) POP servers that one retrieves mail from in a single 'locale' (GP-term). You can also have quite other 'locales' that are other dial-ups. So you dial up the ISP that you *do* use for SMTP, and then via their system go round all your POP mailboxes. Sort of the reverse process to that which sounds to be the problem of this subject.

Karl - The problem with the doc isn't a corrupted Word file - it's in Japanese, and AFAIK no translation is presently available. The program is pretty intuitive. Just install it like any other .EXM program in the application manager or other launcher. Fire it up and play around. I don't read Japanese either, but I had it working pretty quickly.

You can > also have quite other 'locales' that are other dial-ups. So you dial > up the ISP that you *do* use for SMTP, and then via their system go > round all your POP mailboxes. Yes, GP splits the mailbox details into a "mailhost" definition, and the dialup details into a "locale" definition. The smtp server information is kept with the "locale". since most ISPs require you be dialed into them to use their smtp server. This allows you to determine which smtp server is used based upon who you're dialed into. They don't usually care what your "from" address is, as long as you're dialed into them. For example, assume; You have a personal Earthlink account you use in the US You have a friend in Europe with a local account you can use there You have a mailbox and Ethernet at work Here you would have two "mailhosts" - your Earthlink mail and your work mail. Each can have a different return address, different quoting options, different signature, different download rules. You would have three "locales" - an Earthlink dialup using Earthlinks SMTP, a European dialup using the European ISPs SMTP server, and an Ethernet locale configuring via DHCP and using your works SMTP server. No matter which from: address you are sending mail from, the current locales smtp server is used. I.E., when you're in Europe, the European ISP's SMTP server will still deliver messages you've written as "you@earthlink.net" and "you@work.com". This works fine as long as an ISP does their security based on your source IP address (being inside their domain) and not on what you're sending as "from:". This is the usual case still. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2000 02:19:00 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Lars =?ISO-8859-1?Q?HEMBR=C4NNAREN?= Hedstroem Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Lars =?ISO-8859-1?Q?HEMBR=C4NNAREN?= Hedstroem Subject: Re: Bug in Curtis's Snake V.1.0?

I came across a website that seems unique and may provide an income to some of the experts on this list. See the site for details. Here is a short summary: Expertcity.com brings together a person with a computer problem and an expert. The person with the computer problem (PWCP) types out out a brief statement of their problem at the expertcity.com web site. Experts who are online and monitoring these questions from their own home, reply if they feel they can fix the problem. The PWCP then sees a list of potenial experts along with thier backgroud and their dollar amount bid. They choose one of the experts. A small piece of software is then downloaded to allow the expert to see and control the remote computer. The problem is addressed. If the PWCP is satisfied, paymennt is authorized. Expertcity.com keeps $2.00 plus 15% of the fee. Expertcity is looking for experts and also plans to expand to other non-computer problem solving areas in the future. I would like to know if anyone signs on and their opoinion of working this way.

Ah, I thought maybe you downloaded the data from some common site and then massaged it for your application. Frankly, I don't know what goes on with long distance services. Rates probably appear to change daily!!!! (sigh) At least, where I live, I have selected a long distance carrier but probably like you, we can alter that by dialing another service manually. But almost weekly I get calls from the other services asking me to switch. Then, they all have a variety of calling plans or packages and sorting through it all gets really tedious to impossible. So I just stick with my carrier. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2000 14:46:29 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , fjkaufman@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "F.

Then the first thing to check, in your tcp.cfg file make sure you have the following entries: ftpd.enable=1 ftpd.passfile=c:\xxx\passwd.cfg where xxx is the path At one time there was a typo in the distributed file using ftp.passfile (no d).

To make them sweeter, I'll sell any two items below for the sole price of the higher priced item. a. $10 95LX Connectivity Kit (from Nuvatech ... includes the box, cable and software) b. $10 SPFPC 2.1 - IBM mainframe editor cut down to size. Runs on the LX just fine, but definitely not for everyone. (box, manual, software) c. $10 Stacker 4.1 - got it (used) just before flash drives went down in price and ended up never using it (box, manual, software) d. $50 Zoomer (includes AMT 2400 Star modem, HP 5 mb flash card, serial cable and software (Grafitti, Quick Shuffle card games) ) ... my first PDA. Runs GEOS and has lots of stuff in ROM. No manual so this is only for someone already familiar with it, or who's very adventerous. 1. $15 - Allways spreadsheet publisher v 1.0 (a 123 add-in). Shrinkwrapped box with 3.5" disks. 2. $10 - set of Lotus 123 V2.3 manuals. Essentially the same as the one on the LX (v2.4). Both versions are usually mentioned in the same breath on how-to manuals. 4. $15 - User manual and 5.25" disks for EasyCAD 1.08. Runs in DOS and I believe it'd run OK on the LX since it used to run on my IBM PC (8088, CGA). Prices are in US $ and include shipping in the US only. Non-US buyers are OK, but be prepared for the usual delays and higher cost of shipping. Items on 5.25" media I can't verify, since I don't have access to a 5.25" drive. But I will guarantee to refund the cost if they don't work. Please email me off-list if you're interested in any of the above. Firm offers will have priority. Thanks. - Longden PS - If anyone is interested in folding knives, I have a few I'm also selling off to make drawer space. Most are in the $30-$60 range ... expensive if you're not into knives, but cheap if you are. These include Spyderco, Benchmade, Boker and Kershaw.

I have a 2216-2 card and I belive that Tomas Moberg got one too. It works very well. I have used both RJ-45 and BNC and have not gotten any warning about the power usage.

To make it smaller, you can remove unwanted options from the groups and the defaults will be used. Or you could change things to just one option. For example, I really can't read anything well enough besides English to be useful, so I could change the Language select from Language to just Save your changes, then load the file into HV using Ctrl-O. (I added it then to my hotlist.) Type in a few search words and click the button. When you get the results, you will need to page down a couple times to see anything at all. (Oh, turn off images.)

If the snake's body is in that location, then it chooses another, until it finds an empty one. When the screen is completely full of snake, there are no empty places, so it's locked trying random screen locations. And it locks up tight.

However, your ISP should be running an SMTP server, right? If so, this is the SMTP server you would be using to send any mail (both you@yourisp and you@youremailprivider would be sent using the ISPs SMTP server while you're dialed into the ISP). This should work unless your ISP has no SMTP server, or their SMTP server looks at the mail "from" address (which would be lame).

I use Win 98 SE and my Hplx with Accton En2216-2 Ethernetcard connected to my home 5 port hub. My Win 98 is connected to the internet via a isdn phone with a built in pcadapter. I have set up Www/lx with the ethernet things it needs. I checked the help files in Win 98 to see what ipadresses it gave to the machines that were connected to the hub. I have a laptop too so I had to set the Hplx up with another ipadress than the laptop to make them work at the same time. Then I just start Www/lx (with the ethernet config) by first running Lxcic and then lxen2216.exe and then hit F5 to go online. The win98 machine connects to the internet and everything works very good. You can probably connect the Hplx to the win 98 machine via serial and make this work, but I do not now anything about this. I have to disconnect the internetconnection manually because I do not trust the Win 98 machine to disconnect after x minutes. I surf the web on my desktop while I download mail and news on the Hplx.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi All Programmers! I have an idea, no actually it's more of a mission. :) You have probably heard of the freeware called VNC (Virtual Network Computing)- if not, is the same type of program as pcANYWHERE. The major difference is that it's free of charge and the source code is available! For more information, go to: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/index.html The most interesting thing with this software is that it has server and client software for a wide range of operating systems- such as Unix, Linux, DOS, NT, Win95/98, Mac etc. So what I would find not only way cool, but also useful would be a HP 200LX version of this software. Yes, a DOS version with source code is available- but it's for minimum 386 processor and 1MB RAM. The problem is that I don't have the programming knowledge and experience, necessary to port this VNC Client to 100/200LX. So I would like to highlight this great software and then hope that we have some programmers on this list which finds it so interesting that we can start this project. I will assist as much as I can with my limited experience- but I am good in testing and finding bugs! :) Now, you maybe think that I am "crazy" and this software would not run nicely on our palmtop PC's. My answer to that is simply- if PalmPilot has an VNC client, it will deffinately run on our dear 100/200LX!!! Not only that, GEO's (Nokia Communicator) has even a VNC client!!! So it would be a shame if we couldn't also have one! :) Please take a look at this and let me know if we should start this project. Currently I am dreaming of having a VNC client on my 200LX, connecting to my NT Server via DOSPPP + modem and then being able to do my internet banking on my 200LX- which otherwise requires Explorer 4.0 and all the Java etc. So since I can't install MS Explorer on my palmtop- to use it as a thin-client is almost as good! Looking forward to your reply. Regards, Jorgen Wallgren P.S. At the above web site, go to 'Contribution' for additional clients for different platforms. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2000 08:16:52 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Striegel, Alan" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Striegel, Alan" Subject: Re: TECH .gdb to .csv Comments: To: Curtis Cameron MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Curtis, I could really use that program for putting quotes around the otherwise unquoted fields.

There should be no need to talk to your email providers SMTP > server at all. I have to talk to my email providers smtp when I am connected to the internet through the ethernet at my university. I can not use my regular ISP's smtp because of the IP check thing. My email providers smtp is not perfect. It check only for @mobilpost.com so it is more or less open for spammers. They have work that needs to be done. The university have no smtp I can use(I have not found any yet). One advantage to use my emailproviders smtp all the time is that I no longer have to edit the post.cfg and change smtp based on where I am. I will look into the thing Mr. Staber posted about using "smtp 1 when connected there and using smtp2 when connected there". But this would be a solution that I would use only until my email providers smtp get fixed some time soon I hope.

Comments: To: jorgen@PALMTOP.NET MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I am a long-time VNC user who has also had a 200 for and even longer time. Given my (largely good) experience with VNC on the six different machines, varying in speed and in screen size, that are on my personal network, I can say that I would have _no_ interest whatsoever in a 200Lx VNC client. With all the different screen sizes and machine speeds, I consistently find that the _only_ place I really find VNC comfortable and useful is when I can run it on a client that has a screen at least as large as the server. Indeed, my 15.4" Dell is my favourite client, both because it is a 500Mhz machine, and because the Server screens are available without scrolling as they are smaller than the client screen. This means that I am not optimistic about the real usefulness of a 200Lx client. A curiosity, perhaps, but given the screen size (and speed) of the 200Lx I can't imagine it being of any real use.

With 4 other portables, each used in varying circumstances, it is still true that my 200 hasn't `gone out of my life', although I find it used less and less for any real computing work I do, and more just for pocket info capture and retrieval (scheduling, blood sugar records, ...). My point _isn't_ to reflect unfavourably on the 200 in any way. My only real curiosity is with the effort and expense that some are willing to go to to keep it operating in domains where I would think other solutions might prove to be as or more effective. For example, $1000+ PCMCIA cards with x00 mb of storage when whole computers with y000 mb (and not such terrible form factors) are easily available seems like a stretch to me. What works for me is a cheap 200 + a $1000 range super-portable. I find that combination much more price effective and useful than a super-200 that might cost nearly the same amount of money. Of course, I understand that YMMV, and probably does...

If so, a report about the effectiveness and ease of use would be of interest to me. If not, I wouldn't believe it (worked decently) until I had seen it... This may be off base, but it seems to me that there are two important cases: (1) the `server' doesn't do much graphics; and (2) the `server' does lots of graphics. In case (1) there are lots of ways, much simpler and more effective than VNC, of providing the client / server linkage, mostly doable today with good technology on the 200. In case (2) the 200 would lose as a client, so VNC would be pointless.

They aren't really the best because of their method of indexing. You end up getting much more junk stuff than in other search engines. They have raw power, but who has the patience and energy and time to wade through 52,000 + hits for a simple inquiry which finds EVERY place where that simple word is mentioned?

The new feature (which was actually mentione= d in the docs _before_ I wrote you) worked with the list-signature. I wrote to you because the feature was described in the docs (not described actually, but mentioned - 18th help message) and because I thought that there is a wrong behaviour in post/lx to "clean" all the 32-blanks. The reason why I didn't told you that it still didn't work properly was because after my first enthusiasm about having the news on the palmtop I changed back to the desktop, as post/lx is not efficient enough for the load of news I have (~ 3500 average a day, not readable without 'advanced= ' filtering). Now I went on holiday and at the same time my desktop crashed (and is still dead), so I had to go back to the palmtop (where I always read the list.hplx, and the ** =3De did a good job there). So it got back= to my mind, and I thought maybe someone knows the trick to filter anything after -- .

This is a problem I always have to work around. Here is the CSVQUOTE.EXE program. It's a DOS filter, which means that it takes standard input and sends its output to standard out. So if you have an Excel-generated CSV file (without quotes around all the fields) called MYFILE.CSV, you'll do this: csvquote < myfile.csv > myfile2.csv This runs the CSVQUOTE program, telling it to get its data from the file MYFILE.CSV, and to save its output in the file MYFILE2.CSV. There's one caveat - I don't believe that this program will handle records that span multiple lines. An Excel CSV file can do this, as long as the field is in quotes, but this program needs each record to be all on one line.

My intention is not to use it for lots of work and long time connection- but for quick but important stuff. Yes, 9600 bps will of course make it slow. Then it's a fact that 200LX is more powerful than a Nokia Communicator- so I am sure it would be possible to do this for 100/22lx- But the code would of require some serious adjustments and brilliant solutions, in order to work fine. > > Played with pcAnywhere some time ago, it was faster and more stable. = But > then it costs bucks! Yes, pcAnywhere is good. But as far as I know, version 4.5 is the last version to run on 100/200LX- but it only supports a modem connection. > Some GEOS clients are 8086, would it run on them? Anybody tried the = GEOS > client with the OS from New Deal Inc.? It porports to run on a 8086, = IIRC. Actually, New Deal Inc. has stated that the minimum requirements is an 286 processor- but it runs fine on the 200LX (much better than Windows 3.0!). I downloaded their evaluation copy and I have to figure out if I can get an ethernet support. I have already installed the VNC client, but as I mentioned- must get the connectivity in place before I can try it out. I preffer SysMgr and DOS- but New Deal 3.x is rather cool when it runs on the palmtop!

I purchased and successfully installed a TechRAM kit a couple of years ago, so I have no need for another TechRAM kit. Although Times2Tech are willing to take this kit back for credit, I would prefer to sell this to someone in Canada and avoid the hassle and cost of P&H to US, Customs, GST, and Canada-US exchange rate.

I >gave it |70kb. I've found a new game on the Palm and hopefully there's a version for the 200lx, or if not, someone should make one real quick. It would be a simple game to make. It's called "Lines". You just move objects around on a grid, wherever you like, and when you line up 5 similar objects they disappear. But every turn, 3 more objects are placed in random parts of the screen. So it gets fuller and harder to find ways to move objects around. They can move anywhere going left, right, up and down, as long as they aren't obstructed. It's as simple to play as tetris, and just as hard to play well. Unlike tetris there's no time pressure. I think it's the best game since Tetris. If anyone knows of a version for the 200lx, please post the url here. If anyone is planning to write one, please post that here. If no-one does either, I might write one. By the way, this could be done as easilly in Basic as in C. Speed isn't part of it.

Depending on size, less than around 200megs, you do not need anything special. Usually, they do not have to be formatted but just work. And even if you eventually do have to format it, don't bother with the /s. The system files and boot process is in rom. In order to boot from it, the HP200 just needs to find config.sys on the root of the card and autoexec.bat if you want it. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2000 14:37:28 -0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Mark Johnson Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mark Johnson Subject: ISP Question MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Has anyone on the list managed to dial into the AT&T Global network with a 200lx?

Probably not very hard to write, but I've seen some versions that get fooled by more complex patterns and won't let you move a piece eventhough it is possible. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2000 10:24:34 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Peniel Romanelli Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Peniel Romanelli Subject: Re: ÝXFCP¨ Comments: To: Tony Guzewicz MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Thu, 23 Mar 2000 09:50:49 -0500 (EST) Hi, Tony - 12h25s ago ...

Datashow projectors are now the standard for business presentations. Having a way to quickly make a slide on the LX and present it would be cool. The LX has no VGA output but my pocket DIGITAL CAMERA has a video output which I can connect to the Datashow projector. The idea is : - make the slide (mostly text) on the LX - save it as JPG file on my CF card - take the CF card from the LX to the Digital Camera - display the slide from the Camera on the DataShow I tried Harvard Graphics 2.3 but it does not export to JPG format. In the distant past I have used Freelance for DOS on a 8086 PC to generate presentations but I have misplaced the disks and don't know if it can export to JPG files.

So, unitl I can afford an 8 meg model I'm going back to my trusty LX. Offering the following: Visor - 2 meg Standard; $150 list - 3 months old in great condition serial cradle - $30 list 8 meg Springboard memory module - $80 list - 1 month old (warning - buy rechargable batteries if you are going to use it much!) 1 registered copy of iSilo - $12 a $25 leather Palm-brand case (modified to hold Visor) a 14.99 Palm User book with cd-rom (optional - it'll add $ to postage) (I even have some Peanut Press books I can throw in, also) I didn't add in what the shipping cost me on these items but if you add that in was about $30 since the items were purchased separately. Asking $235 ($USD) plus actual shipping for US/Canada. $275 ($USD) plus actual shipping to an international address. (Obviously I don't like the hassles of shipping overseas.) I can accept PayPal in the US; Money orders in US Dollars elsewhere. I will consider selling the memory board separately if I don't get any offers on the whole package but selling them all together would be my first choice.

I am unclear what you mean by `a HP PDA simulation'. I take it that you do _not_ mean the facilities available in the connectivity pack.

I've never done anything that needed that kind of search algorithm before but while driving today I decided how to do it. Basically a recursive routine to check any the 4 directions that it could go in, and then call itself from each to do the same thing, should be guaranteed to find a path if it exists. I'm not sure I'm correct and I'd have to think this through much more carefully before I tried to code it. But it seems that this should work. Actually, this is the part that makes me want to write it. Just because I've never had to solve this problem before. I've already put it on my list of things to get to.

The idea is to guide a flying snake-like thing through a narrow cave filled with obstacles. Like all the best games, it's simple to play, but hard to master.

But what's equally important is: does the 200LX bring out the address lines necessary to drive 1M x 16 chips? The pinout may be identical to the 256K x 16s, but if you don't have the additional two address lines connected, those new address pins are just going to be hanging there useless. Of course it still might be possible, but you'd be looking at tying in a couple of additional lines along with just replacing the packages. This is probably a question for Mack, eh? I'll be interested in hearing the consensus on this one!

If you start downloading a file and abort after some time, it may be that the proxy server continues the download (depends on the settings of the server, not your client). So if you do it otherwise (first try with HV, after some time with another browser) the experience could be different. Of course, HV does surely ignore some crap that is not needed.

There was a service/website that did this once upon a time, called agora I think. I seem to have heard that it disappeared a few years ago. I used to use it when I had a shell account and a 14.4 modem. I couldn't get it to work for some time and then it slipped my mind. You sent it an email with the url and it sent the file as an email. The problem is is that many people 'hide' files behind cgi-scripts or to thwart (site-)downloaders like GetRight. Any new service like agora? Also, for some or other reason I find Mdeamon (email server) can dl faster and larger files than using IE5.

Once you get going with NiMH, you may want to look at some of the battery charging utilities out there to make the charging process more painless. This need will become more apparent once you notice that you have to recharge a lot more often than when you had to replace the alkalines. I use ABC/LX as my recharging utility, but there are others. Also, the 1500 cells you have may require more charge time than the built-in charging cycle allows for, and may not get a full charge ... another reason to consider a utility (unless you're planning to charge them externally). - Longden "Kelley, Timothy P" on 03/24/2000 08:35:40 AM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to "Kelley, Timothy P" To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: Nimh batteries I am switching to 1500ma nimh batteries for the 200lx, so all I have to do is in setup switch from alkaline to nicd right? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2000 12:50:24 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , GJColeman@CSI.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: George Coleman Subject: Sandisk cards and Win95 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have a company-issued laptop running Windows 95 Ý:-(¨ with a dual PC card slot.

And I have been living mostly in WinNT, Win98 and Win2K lately so my memories of Win95 may be a bit dim. So take this advice with a grain of salt... In such circumstances my normal response is to use the `Device Manager' or its equivalent to remove the device in question, thus allowing Windows to `rediscover it' at the next boot. In most circumstances, Plug-and-Pray seems to find the device and restablish proper connections to it. I have also noticed, on some occasions, slightly different treatment by Windows when the device is actually discovered _at_ boot time from when the device is later inserted. Again, I can't tell you which is right for your circumstances, but perhaps experimentation would tell you. I sum I'd: (1) remove the device; (2) reboot without the card; (3) insert the card. If this works, fine. If not, I'd then. (4) remove the card; (5) shutdown; (6) insert the card; and (7) reboot. Good luck.

Win95 veterans can probably offer more pointed advice, but PC card insertion/removals (especially modem and network cards) always seemed a traumatic event on my Win95 machine.

Some may recall my problems with some CF disks a couple of years ago. Brand new, worked fine in my thinkpad. Would do nothing in my 200lx. Same thing with some sandisk pcmcia flash cards. Even with an HP branded card! After some time we got the cards to work. I found I needed to do several things. 1) Replace backup battery. 2) disable battery charging. 3) Replace rechargeable batteries (often 1.25v) with regular alkaline (1.5v). 4) Reboot. At the time Mack suggested I might have a defect in my machine's power system. (things break when you drop 'em!) I don't know but I acting on the assumption that he is be right.

I say that in half-jest, but it seems that a lot of setup and configuration stuff is left half-done during a shutdown and most (not always all) of it gets picked up during the re-boot ... and warm vs cold boot sometimes makes a big difference, especially with hardware detection. Whenever I plan to add/configure new hardware or software on my Win95 machine, I usually allot plenty of time for the installation and mulitple reboots. Of course, swapping in a flash card shouldn't require all this pain, but Patrick's suggestion may be necessary to get back to a clean configuration.

Comments: cc: Rob Lewis , he-1@ConnectTo.Net In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Huh! Well, after the card finished formatting, my LX went to shut down mode! Turning it on once again caused the the LX to exit from 'data save mode' (same as when you take the batteries out). I went through several more unsuccessful attempts at running fdisk/format on the card and it would usually (but not always) shut down at some point. Also the card, though it could be changed to as a drive, would tell me that writing or making directories on it was an 'illegal operation'. Then I looked again over the responses to my post again. The one by Patrick West looked interesting, and something clicked when I realized I was gettting the same response as when you just take the batteries out (when the LX is running!) It usually comes back on with this 'exiting data preservation mode' (or whatever...wording not exact here) when you do this. This was the same response I was getting to formatting the card. So suddenly Patrick's post seemed to make some sense. Especially since I am using NiCD's (not NiMH at the moment) it made sense that there might be a power-draw problem. Well, I've been pretty happy with the power draw characteristics of my LX so far so I'm not convinced there is any defect per se, but it has become evident that at some point during the fdisk/format cycle the card draws quite a chunk of power, even if only for a fraction of a second. The solution (after some of you helped me to re-discover fdisk and format, thanks!) was to simply plug in the AC adapter (with charge mode off, as I usually use my LX) This time the responses of fdisk/format seemed totally normal (with no shut-down) (and as I remember them from DOS even!). Now I have removed the LX from the adapter, and the card appears to function normally. I have created/removed directories, etc, so now FINALLY, I think PROBLEM SOLVED! THANKS AGAIN to ALL of you who posted; if it had been just me and that card it would have been back in the mail by now to the seller! Happily, it's not! :) Rob http://www.students.uiuc.edu/~rc-lewis On Fri, 24 Mar 2000, Patrick West wrote: > I have had this problem several times.

It appears you are correct (not that I suspected anything different and I live just across the Lake, more or less from the Evil Empire).

Hmmm. My machine didn't come with the Connectivity Pack, I've never seen it in action - so, I haven't played with it yet. Perhaps I should buy a copy and play. I saw Alan S's post as well, I haven't looked at GDBWin yet, but will go take a look. Thanks, both of you! What I'd like is, when I come home, to plug the 200LX into the LAN (W/Accton Net Card) next to the front door, then be able to edit the phone book, appointments, etc. from any machine on the LAN here - have backup run on one machine (manually fire a batch file there, probably), and so on.

I've been extremely vexed over the past week trying to print out a simple spreadsheet (50 rows, 11 columns). A sampling of the errors include: the header is invariably put in the middle of the spreadsheet data; I get a "40 ERROR" on my LJ display; the rightmost 2 columns come out on one sheet in pica font (10cpm), a smidgeon of the other data comes out in elite font (12cpm). Current LJ settings are: BAUDRATE 19200, ROBUST XON on, DTRPOLAR high. Page settings are: 66 lines per page. I've checked the printer settings under 200LX "Setup"; baud rate is set to 19200, printer is HP LaserJet, and port is COM1. I'm currently sending no setup string to the printer via 123. I reset all margins to 0 (right margin at 240). My machine is a 4Mb 200LX, no doublespeed, no PCMCIA card, running off batteries (I don't have the AC adapter). I've checked the HPLX-L archives under various combinations and permutations of "lotus print laserjet" to no avail.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi friends! I bought 2 HP 200 LX including connectivity cable and a Sundisk 5MB/12V Flashdisk from HP. It is a F1012A (SDP-5). I inserted the disk into one of the 200LX and checked the installed software. There is a stacker driver which makes 10MB of the 5. I wanted to give this disk to a friend, because I have already a Viking 32MB CompactFlash Disk which works without any problem. My friend has a 700 LX which is software compatible to the 200LX. The chip seems to be different, some things like e.g. the EMM200 driver won't run in the 700LX. I inserted the Sundisk and copied the stacker.com to the c-drive. The config.sys has the line: device=c:\stacker.com /p=0 a: b: This is exactly the same as in the origin 200LX where it ran without any problem. When I restarted the 700LX it recognized the new A:-Drive without problem. I started a built-in app (Memo) and wanted to open a file on C:\. Suddenly it began to beep and the screen was frozen. I had to do a Hardreboot with Ctrl-Shift-On. I removed the Sundisk and the device line from config.sys. Now the LX ALWAYS begins to beep after some seconds and the screen freezes. Sometimes there is written "Divide error" on the top left. Did this Sundisk damage the 700 LX? Could it be a virus? If yes, why didn't it damage the 200 LX? -goe- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2000 22:55:13 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Winfried Zettelmeyer Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Winfried Zettelmeyer Subject: Failing Letter c MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi all, when typing POST/LX messages with PE, letter "c" on my HP 200LX fails, Capital "C" works, though.

Loaded programs from punch-cards I started a little later than that, at a computer school. The school had an IBM 360-20 with no console and 8k magnetic core and a 2 meg drive. There was a card reader and a printer. Four of the teachers were formerly at RCA and had helped write the first virtual memory os, and they modified this os to swap to disk. All the rest of the teachers were trying to figure out what was going on. How could you run 15k programs in an 8k computer with an os taking up part of that? The languages were assembly (ALC) and RPG (a cut down version). We learned those and Cobol but had to send the Cobol out to be compiled. They made it a point to teach assembly first on the theory that you'd then know how the other languages did what they did. It was a great way to learn.

On my German 200LX I opened the World Time this morning and was at first presented with a message that summertime has started and whether I want the system time to be adjusted (advanced by one hour). I acknowledged with F10 =OK (because DST in fact started at 2:00 a.m.) and all was fine. I automated this by adding two repeating appointments to the appointment book, the first one at the last Sunday of March, the second one at the last Sunday of October, each at 2:00 a.m. These appointments start a system macro. The macro is simple. It opens the Application Manager, selects the World Time application (which should then present the mentioned message), presses F10 (to change the system time), closes World Time, and finally closes Application Manager. That's all. This automatically updates the system time according to the DST. Do not forget to adopt the dates according to your geography. If you test it by playing around with the system time through Config, note two things: 1. Watch the * character in World Time, which tells you whether World Time "thinks" it is "inside" or "outside" DST. 2. In APPTS the macro starts exactly at Start Time - Leadtime. You might want to set the latter to 0. Regards Norbert -- Norbert Giese, A.

Also, if the cells are still new, the charging characteristics may change as they get "broken in". I've tried NiMH cells from 1200 up to 1500mAh, and they vary widely in performance and charge characteristics. Some top off at 2.95v, others (my last DigiKey 1500) at 2.87v, so I think you'll have to experiment with the stall time (which I've set to 6hrs on mine). NiMH do require LONG stall times (compared to NiCad). My Olympus Camedia 1450mAh cells went for a year of good use (and they charged fast), before I switched to the Digikey (just to see how they compare). - Longden d-cripps on 03/27/2000 12:07:26 AM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to d-cripps To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: High Capacity Nimh cells and ABC/LX Hi, I've just bought some new Sanyo Nimh batteries, rated at 1600mAH!

Avi can answer this better, but AFAIK there's no way around the limit unless D&A updates the program. I think ABC/LX has a 16 hour charge time limit. You could set the charge time to the limit. Start charging at 2.4 - 2.5 volts, end at about 2.95, and a stall time of 5-6 hours. > As an aside I had some of the 1450mAH, low self discharge cells, and > after about 8months, they have lost a lot of their capacity. > Completely discharging after about 5 days!

The loss of capacity and lowering of top charge voltage happens with most rechargeables when they are repetitively charged after a partial discharge (exactly what happens in the palmtop). To restore them, they should be dischargd to below 1V per cell, and then recharged. Some folks use Mack's software to allow the palmtop batteries to drop to this level without any problems (but it sounds risky to me). The stalling is also normal enough - The palmtop has an A-D convertor with a resolution of ~27 mV, so the graph looks flat until the increase is greater than 27 mV.

But we have a lot of prefix providers and also fixed prefix providers. This is for homephone, but we also have two providers which have mobil/cellular.

I like to find the cheapest provider at all times. These are the different plans: Home phone to mobil Home phone to home phone - day Home phone to home phone - evening These rates are to everywhere in Norway. No extra fee for long distance calls. Mobil to home phone day Mobil to home evening Mobil to mobil day Mobil to mobil evening Mobil to Mobil day/evening when calling to other nets All the mobil calls are complex to keep track of they have a lot of different calling plans. I have a 123 spreadsheet where I calculate which is cheapest for which different plan/provider. You can not change and use other providers without changing your simcard and number. But one company provides callback so it can be used by all providers (the providers are not happy with that and this callback company will be a regular virtual provider this summer) We have a lot of providers on home phone which all have different prices. They are (probably forgotten some): Telenor (main provider..we pay a fee to them anyway to have a phone, but they are expencive compared to the others on use.) Telia/Enitel prefix/fixed prefix provider (1) Tele2 same as (1) These are the big ones but these below have the cheapest rates: Privatel (1) Teleman (1) Coshopper/Telegate(Tele1) (1) (My provider at the moment for all calls) Norsk Familiexkonomi(Tele1) (1) And probably some more. They all have a connection fee for every call started. This connection fee is not always the same for each provider. I use the cheapest one. Calling with mobil we have these providers: Telenor Mobil (biggest provider with a lot of calling plans) Netcom (a lot of calling plans) Sense Mobil (virtual provider (Telenor) Telepluss(callback for everybody but will be virtual soon with Netcom) +Even more virtual providers soon > You find LXTEL on my homepage: > http://peichl.hplx.net/lxtel.zip I have downloaded the program and I will take a closer look. My german is not good at all and I was confused at first, but I will have another look. It looks promising. There will be more virtual/prefix providers here in Norway and it is not always easy to keep track of them. There will also be more and faster changes in the time to come on the prices. I am not sure how much of the info above is possible to incorparate in the Lxtel. I guess you have focused on home phone rates.

In fact I've often said that if I lost it, I'd have to retire because most of my brain is in there. But, I'm thinking about upgrading. I want to be able to do internet stuff and e-mail from my palmtop. I'm aware of programs like www/lx and that might be the way I'll go. But I'm also thinking about the 320LX and the 360LX, and maybe even something newer. What I'm wondering about is old 200LX users that have made the switch to the newer format--the bigger keyboard, the embedded number pad and etc. Do people make the switch? And programs. Having explorer right on the machine sounds good. But what about HP Solve, is that still on the newer machines. I could get used to everything else, but I couldn't get by without HP Solve.

It got the "already open" message which was fair enough; except that the phone1.pdb in that directory was loaded with data and the open one was empty . So I tried phone.pdb (also in the directory) and got "An error has occurred in your program. To keep working click ignore...to quit etc." Ignore did nothing. "Close" froze the computer and switching off was required. See the HP PIM posting from Andrew King and my reply for more.

I also tried loading the appt.adb file. First, appt1.adb was empty; and when I tried loading appt.adb everything froze. Unlike the phone.pdb attempt, this time I got the "End Task " option which worked. All things considered I don't think it's worth the trouble pursuing it any further. I just wondered if the formatting might make it easier to do a print of the phone book with less editing than the last time I did it. Richard.

I found my life got _much_ easier (in this dimension at least) when I bought a larger flash card (with dropping prices, 40mb proved to be about a third the price of my original 5mb, and things have gotten even cheaper since), and I gave up worrying about stacking anything. Now backups are simply a matter of a few seconds for an XCOPY... So, while I have no stake in you spending your money, I'd guess that in this case it would probably be cheaper to buy better hardware than fuss with the software...

So any program you write for it will run on a regular PC. Except, of course, if you use any of the programs, functions, or services in the ROM. Since your application seems to just use the serial port, that is certainly compatable with a desktop PC's serial port. The serial connector that is in the 200LX is a special connector, but with the serial cable, the DB9 on the end is just like a PC's DB9 signals. The only thing different is that the HP serial cable includes null modem wiring in it so that the end of the serial cable actually looks like a modem. If your application and the device you are connecting it to work with the HP serial cable without an adapter, then when you run on a regular PC, you will need a null modem adapter on the PC serial cable to connect to your device. Other than that, the hardware and programming are the same for operating the serial port. On the 200LX, it is COM1 but on the PC it could be COM1, 2, 3 or 4. And on the PC the UART could be a buffered 16550 but that would be downward compatable with the programming you did for the UART in the palmtop.

One connector carries the vertical signals and another carries the horizontal signls to the LCD. My old 200LX had the vertical line problem. I don't know if this is something you could fix by yourself by disassembling the LCD. This is certainly not a job for the inexperienced and I don't recommend it. As others have suggested, check with Thaddeus Computing and see how much it would cost to fix the screen at the same time they do an upgrade. If you are thinking of buying a used palmtop with this problem, then it should be very inexpensive because this kind of problem does not go away and only gets worse. So, the cost of the repair should be considered when setting a value on the used palmtop.

Comments: To: Daniel Hertrich Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi Daniel. Does the modem have a separate dongle, or is the connector built-in (like an X-jack)? Also, connect speed and transfer speed seem almost independent of each other. I had a 56K Xircom modem that also worked in the 200LX, but I found out from the spec sheet that the power usage was something like +230ma ... even tho I connected at high speed (as you did), file transfers confirmed that the transmission speed averaged under 24k bps. The maximum speed may have been throttled back by the line speed limits in my area. Possibly in an area with better phone lines, a much higher speed may have been possible, but it's also possible that the higher speed may increase the power requirement on the slot to the limits specified by the modem. Can that be a danger to the LX? - Longden PS I agree that the 800CT is a good supplement to the 200LX, but I still wish it were smaller, got longer battery life, and was cheap.

Of course, the modem has to be low power ( <=3D 150 ma) for use in the palmtop. Even then it can run down the batteries rather quickly. The hard part of the cel/modem combination is that there are lots of cel phone connectors and lots of modem connectors. There does seem to be some kind of standard that a few phones/modems use. Then it is just a matter of finding the cable with the right connectors. Darn, I cannot remember the brand or model of the PC Card modem I have. I just remember the cable cost almost as much as the modem did. It did take a lot of research on the web to look at the modem specs and the lists of compabable phones and a few phone calls to confirm the info from the web and then I finally made the purchase. It all works fine now.

BUT don't clean any drives as alcohol will remove all the lube on the bearings. Another way to clean boards is with water but extreme care must be taken and thorough drying is a must!!. Most companys use water to clean boards after wave soldering. For the home user I would say use rubbing alcohol and rinse only the board off. Be careful not to get any in drives or in the power supplies. Pretest plastics, some will craze (melt).Also watch out for heat sink grease, transformers,switches, speakers, motors and batteries. I usually pour alcohol over the board and let it run in to a large container. Shake off excess, after that I dry it with compressed air or air dry over night. IT MUST BE COMPLETELY DRY BEFORE POWERING UP!!! And Alcohol and it's fumes can be dangerous. Work in the proper area. Any thing that may be dissolved by alcohol should not be cleaned.

Comments: To: Brent Geske MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit What I have done is simply load Stacker in the config.sys of my Windows machine, the same (Ace technologies) version of stacker that runs on the LX. I should add that I also load (CardSoft) 16-bit PCMCIA card drivers ahead of Stacker and remove the 32-bit Windows drivers in Control Panel. This is actually on a desktop machine with a two-slot SCM SwapBox PCMCIA card reader installed. There is probably a performance hit for using 16-bit drivers but I've never noticed it and besides I was never able to get the 32-bit drivers to work properly on my machine, probably because of a shortage of IRQs which they seem to demand. The CardSoft drivers do not require an IRQ.

I inserted a 5MB Sundisk and started stacker. Then the screen was frozen and only a Shift-Ctrl-On with Reinitializing and total loosing of all data brought it back to life. And, yes Stefan, I had to pull out ALL the batteries. The backup battery in the 700 LX was a CR2032. I now inserted a CR2025 and wanted to check, what the difference is. The only difference is the mAh (milli Amper hours), which means, that the life of the backup battery will be longer for the 2032 than the 2025. But that doesn't matter a lot, right? I only use rechargeable accus in the LX. This means, that I NEVER EVER pull them out of the LX. So the backup battery has not much to do. I use a 200LX since 1,5 years now with the same backup battery. It is at 2.99 now and that seems to be ok. The only tip I give to all LX newbies: NEVER EVER let it come to a 'battery-low-warning-beep'. Then you are on the safe side. -goe- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2000 11:21:45 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Daniel Hertrich Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Daniel Hertrich Subject: Re: 56k PCMCIA modem: cheap!

So please don't be too enthusiastic and wait a little with buying it until I did a few more tests with the modem. First, I'll make the "W2" test to see with what speed it connects to the ISP. And I'll do some bigger downloads to see if the modem draws more or too much power when downloading at full speed (I only tested with a terminal emulation, because I thought there's no difference between downloading something and not downloading something, as long as there's a connection at all). So, sorry if I gave you too much hope for now - I'll report as soon as I made the tests. (I don't have such a modem here, I have to go into the shop again.)

I heard that sometimes the palmtop simply switches into backup mode because of the high power drain, someone reported that the 200LX gets very hot, and I think someone even said that one modem (or another device that took too much power) destroyed his motherboard! So we have to be careful. > PS I agree that the 800CT is a good supplement to the 200LX, but I still wish > it were smaller, got longer battery life, and was cheap. Sure :-) One more disadvantage of the 800ct is the keyboard: You have to press the keys really from straight (orthogonal) above, otherwise they won't be pressed down. If you're used to type on such a keyboard, it might work, but I had very bad difficulties to type text on the 800ct at my first try!

Even better: Some Palmtop BIOS functions are just ignored on the PC. If your communication program switches the serial power on and off using INT15 BIOS functions, the same code runs on the PC without any changes, because the corresponding INT15 function on the PC is just an IRET. No need to check for the machine, your program is running on. Indeed it looks different, if you use the palmtops graphics functions of INT5F. Then you need a TSR, which simulates the INT5F on the PC, like PALRUN, INT5F or PALMPC.

I use a Apex Mobile Plus Cellular 33.6 modem, with my LX & Motorola StarTAC digital cell phone, and used to use the modem with my Motorola StarTAC analog cell phone. When I upgraded from the analog StarTAC to the digital, all my accessories were the same, the batteries, the AC charger, the DC car adapter, and the cell modem cable (that cost me $70.00) that went between the StarTAC and the Apex cell modem. It really was hard to believe that all the accessories were exchangeable. In the past, every time I upgraded to a new cell phone, all new accessories had to be purchased. I have a drawer full of handheld phones, and accessories, because when ever I upgraded, my wife wanted her upgraded too, so I ended up with double the worthless junk. The Mobile Plus modem works well using both a cell connection, and a landline connection. Before owning the Mobile Plus modem by Apex, I had purchased their 56k modem, which also worked great in the LX, because the current draw was less than 150ma, but I found out it was not cellular capable. As far as I know, they still don't make a 56k cell modem. Don't get deceived by the ads that says they are cellular ready. If it is not a cellular modem, don't buy it. That is how I got tricked into buying their 56k modem, in the first place. Apex was nice enough to trade me for the Mobile Plus cell modem I have now, because I talked to Tom Boyles of Apex Tech Supt, who happens to be a fellow LX'er. He told me Apex was planning to make their 56k modem cellular, but discovered they couldn't for some reason. My cell provider tells me they are no longer selling the StarTAC's anymore, and a newer model will be replacing them soon. Is that what the Vader is? If it is, why is it not digital? I have not seen any ads on it yet, in any of my electronic gizmo magazines. I am waiting for the next upgrade, so I can once again go spend all that money on new accessories again! The phones are cheap, it is the accessories that they get you on. I don't know if a cable is available for the Vader to use with the Mobile Plus modem. A lot of the newest digital phones now have built in modems, like the Qualcomm 860. I bought one, and used it for about a month, before returning it, for the newest digital StarTAC. It was just too large for me, and I had to way too many cables to go online. After you carry a small phone for a few years, it is hard to go back to a full sized handheld. The Qualcomm had a built in modem, I don't recall the speed, but it would connect using digital, not analog, which made it faster. I had to have a special cable made by David Shier of Shier Systems, that was a null modem cable. The Qualcomm had a cable that plugged into it (which I had to buy from Qualcomm, of course, $25), and then I would plug the null modem cable into that cable, and then I would plug the Hp connectivity cable into that cable, just to go online. I would have about eight feet of cables plugged together, and three cables to carry around, no thanks! The advantage of that setup, was no power was drawn from the LX, to run the modem. The disadvantage was, I had to carry these three cables with me, just to go online wirelessly. I don't know if any of this helps, but you first need to know if your phone has a built in modem, which I would think you stating it was analog, would not have a modem built in. Also I don't understand why Motorola would make a new model phone in analog. I though all the new models were digital. You could go to Motorola's, Apex's, and MobilePlanet's websites, or phone them, to check on what you would need to purchase, to go online wirelessly. Hope this helps. By the way, some of the cables are a real rip off, I paid $80.00 for one of the cables for my Motorola Piper years ago, to connect to my Motorola Montana cell modem, that ended up cooking one of my LX's, because the modem drew too much power, so be careful not to exceed 150ma in power consumption.

I got one from the customer to "meet his requirements". I never got used to it. My wife tried it for one week on our trip to New York. She didn't get used to it either. It looks nice, it has a nice feeling, it is smaller and does weigh less than the hp200lx. Objective it is all less and subjective it is also of less use to us. And from the subjective point of view, for us it is to big and to heavy compared against the use. We are still happy with the hp200lx and as long as smart people like you develop software for the hp200lx it will increase the use and the pleasure of the hp200lx.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Your report sounds very similar to my experience. I was given a Palm and dilligently tried to get used to using it over couple of months, but found it sufficiently frustrating, and finally gave it away (to someone who ended up having a similar experience, BTW). Although I am reasonably facile, and reasonably dexterous, Graffiti was always a difficult and sloooooow way to capture input. My most amusing finding, during the process of trying to get used to the Palm, was to regularly run `races' with long time Palm users---who regularly claimed that they were `just as fast' with Graffiti as with a keyboard. In all cases they took _more than_ three times as long to capture input as with an HP keyboard. Yet they remained convinced that they were `just as fast', which may indicate that those who like the Palm, just like it, facts be damned. My conclusion is that the world seems to divide on some issues, and `facts' end up by not having much to do with it. The PC/Apple, Python/Perl, Windows/Unix debates seem to be examples. IMO the Palm/HP200Lx debate is apparently similar. Given the choice, some will find the Palm very comfortable. However, others won't, and will continue the search for a reasonable successor to the 200 line... "Guenther Helmuth E." wrote: > > ... > > I got one from the customer to "meet his requirements".

Your XJ4288 is a 28.8k modem, and I don't ever recall anyone having much success with these. Since the advent of WinCE and Pilot, modem power usage appears to be getting better (ie, some 56k modems work on the 200LX), but the XJ4288 may have existed in the void between the 200LX and the modern PDAs, before power became a concern for the modem makers. Best thing would be to check a spec sheet for the XJ4288 to see how it fares compared to the slot's 150ma limit. - Longden Martin Bergvill on 03/29/2000 05:05:44 AM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to Martin Bergvill To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: Fwd: Re: Best modem for 200lx > For the modem, I suggest 14.400 Megahertz Gold Series you can get it for > around $15.00. > > For a $14.95 Megahertz 1440 XJACK" Modem that Works on the HP200LX > Visit: http://home.eznet.net/~kento/mhzpcm.html Hm I got a Megahertz XJ4288 28.8/14.4kbps Data/Fax with Xjack Connector.

So please don't be too enthusiastic and wait a little with buying it until I did a few more tests with the modem. First, I'll make the "W2" test to see with what speed it connects to the ISP. And I'll do some bigger downloads to see if the modem draws more or too much power when downloading at full speed (I only tested with a terminal emulation, because I thought there's no difference between downloading something and not downloading something, as long as there's a connection at all). So, sorry if I gave you too much hope for now - I'll report as soon as I made the tests.

In-Reply-To: <200003291520.e2TFKrX27651@mail.hiwaay.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I have a newton keyboard which attaches to my LX via a special cable, made from an LX serial cable and a special connector. On a trip not too long ago I tugged a little too hard on this special cable, and pulled it out from the connector, so the kbd was useless for the rest of my trip until I could get to a soldering iron. Now I am planning to lend an LX and the kbd (since I don't use it too much while home) to a friend so he can take notes on the LX during his trip to Europe. I have managed to get just about everything to either be redundant, automatically backed up, or just something I don't think he'll have to worry about. But I am worried about this cable since his whole scheme depends on it and it's held by only 3 tiny wires soldered in place. So, recently I bought another PS-2 connector and was about to slice up an extra LX serial cable to make another (redundant) cable for him to use in case pulls this one apart. It was then that I noticed the Newton kbd does NOT use a standard PS-2 connector!! :( So now I have to either forget about making a second cable or else find a connector (female) to mate with the kbd, or else slice up BOTH the newton kbd cable and the LX and just patch the 2 cables together so the kbd plugs right in to the LX and is more foolproof than it is now. This later solution would make the kbd a dedicatd LX kbd and could never be used as a Newton kbd any more. Any suggestions or know a source for the connector the Newton kbd plugs into?

On my system, it caused the program to crash and be unable to re-start until I deleted the C:\WINDOWS\PHONEBK.INI file." This is true with any modified phonebook files, so if you want to go back to working with unmodified phonebook files on the Windows desktop, you will have to delete the PHONEBK.INI file first.

You could try LXSTAT, also on SUPER (I think). Best bet (for folks with Thaddeus upgraded palmtops) is the latest SPEED31.EXE driver. It has settings to set the screen to inverted and keep it that way. It's available at: www.times2tech.com (only for upgraded machines).

The = > unlimited capacity would be an enormous benefit. There are several of us who have a ZIP drive connected to our palmtops. I have a PCMCIA parallel port adaptor (the mfr name escapes me now). However, I don't use it too much now that I have PCMCIA slots on my desktop and laptop machines. But it indeed works just fine. I did a full backup of my main FLASH card using the ZIP disk, which was a little tricky - had to use the DoubleSlot adaptor for that to work (only got one slot on the 200LX!) I don't know about Clik, except I think some folks here have researched it and learned that they have no plans to write a DOS driver. Current may be problem for in-200LX use, but could be overcome by using the DoubleSLot adaptor with an expternal power supply. -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

So, the wire coming out of the NK plugs directly into the palmtop. I love this idea because I don't have a mess of wires to deal with. Perhaps you can do the same to your NK.

You should try to get enough stuff off of the flashcard so that you don't need Stacker.

But when it comes to voice: You will still have the same phonenumber, but you can use prefix to let your calls go through another provider. It will only result in two bills. One from Telenor for giving you the ability to call and then one bill from your provider which will be cheaper than what the calls would be if you use Telenor. > For me it nearly always works, 99,99%.

I have settled with Tele2. But I do not use the emailadress so I can change ISP when something cheaper comes around. The different ISP has a lot of calling plans to make Internet access cheaper. This is even more complex than the cellular rates/plans. I think that if we are going to use Lxtel for something it must be voicecalls and only that. And that is the purpose of the program? Calls from home to somebody else is still easy to keep track of. The cheapest provider is now Coshopper/Tele1 for all calls. But because of the competition between the providers we will see in the future that one provider is cheaper on cellular calls maybe and one is cheaper on home -> home. Then Lxtel would be okey to use. Also as number dialing machine. I have a backup Hplx I could use for this purpose. Or could Lxtel be used by just laying the Hplx to the phone and let it dial via dtmf/speaker? That would be nice.. > I don't know, maybe I lose my green fingers now and > again.

This is a fairly straightforward task. You must peel off the screen fascia - the bit with the writing on. It's stuck down well and a thin blade may help ease it off. Do not worry, it will stick back with no problem. You will then see 4 Torx screws, on ein each corner, which must be undone and then the front and back of the lid can be seperated with some persuasion. You will not be able to remove them completely as the hinge keeps the two halves together, but you should be able to get them far enough apart to be able the extract the display assembly. IIRC, there is a single earthing strap which may have to be unsoldered, but the ribbon cable of display signals terminates in a series of contacts which are pressed against matching contacts on the display so you can just lift the display off. I hope these details are correct, it is some time since I dismantled my display. Take a look around David Sargeant's web site (http://www.hplx.net.?)

The MAX 3232 converts the signal voltages between the RS232-specified voltages (3..12V, AFAIK) and the voltages the S25 needs. The protocol on both sides is the same.

It's FreeServers' way of telling you that they want you to visit their page before you download files from it. A stupid feature, IMO. Anyway, to download the file, simply visit the page that refers to it - http://fronttom.freeservers.com/book/gdbwin/ and download it by clicking on the link on the page.

I do no longer use stacker, for various reasons. Where Stacker doesn't work, Stacker Anywhere probably doesn't either. However, isn't it the case, when you read a Stackered card in a non-Stacker environment, that you just see the stacked files as one file, which you could copy for backup? You could copy it back to the stackered drive when needed, even though you can't read the stackered part on the non-stacker system. I am not sure, but I believe I have been doing that in the past.

This reminds me of my experience with type III PCMCIA hard disks (Calluna)= , which the HP-XE2 laptop recognises correctly, but won't assign a drive letter to, whatever setup directions I give. With all sorts of experiences others reported or advised. A matter of getting and loading the right DOS drivers perhaps, but I had no easy directions as to which ones and where to get these.

I was at a local computer shop today and saw an oldish box that had a Belkin IR adapter for doing file transfers. The box specifically mentions transfers with the HP100/200LX series and Windows 95 machines, and also support for Sharp's ASK protocol (irda 1.0 was also mentioned in the brochure). As usual, I forgot to note the model/part number. The unit was $45. Does anyone have one of these? I don't see how an LX specific device can communicate with Win95 unless it comes with software to let the Win95 machine do the SIR protocol used by the LX. IF that software could be made to work on the Omnibook (using the built-in IR sensor) that'd be a find in itself. The box came with one 3.5" diskette. Does anyone have one of these Belkin IRs? I'm tempted to buy it (they only had one left) if only to experiment. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2000 13:58:37 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Brown, William" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Brown, William" Subject: Re: Belkin IR adapter MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Well I guess Intellilink uses a SIR driver under Win95. Admittedly it uses a server on the LX, so that could be an Irda driver instead. However it is emphatic that you must not have the MS Irda running at the smae time.

I think your chat script is fine, I'm not sure what the comment about the unmatched " meant. I never got pppd.exe to work with my modem and have always used epppd.exe. My pppd.cfg file has: com2 38400 crtscts user "xxxx" passwd "yyyy" namsrv xxx.xx.xx.x. namsrv xxx.xx.xx.x. I specify the chat script in the call to eppd from a batch file, as in: eppd file pppd.%1 connect "chat -t120 -fchat-%1.%2" The replaceable parameters allow me to use multiple dial-up and server configurations. Let me know if you need more description of that part. > I am guesing that once I have run pppd and the connection is up I can then > run lxtcp and the other client programs. Correct. Once you have it set up, it's a great way to go. (Thanks Rod!) Ted -- Theodore W.

It sure does, and my backup batch file makes heavy use of them.

Hi Bill, What you need to do is specify obmouse.drv as your mouse driver in your system.ini. Also obmouse.drv must be in your \system directory. You can find obmouse.drv and others on my site, look under: Windows 95 on the Omnibook 530, Tip & Tricks, Installing Windows 95 on the Omnibook 530, then scroll down to Omnibook Drivers.
