Sorry, wrong choice of English words. What I ment was that Nokia only has a 9600 connection and with 200LX we can get a higher modem connection speed, but also use a ethernet card (which I would do if a VCN client for the 200LX was available).

You'll never be able to get an 800 performing like a P3, without sacrificing some or all of the features that make it such a standout (I'm not talking about a major design-build effort by a laptop manufacturer). The best you'd be likely to do is replace the 166 MHz processor with a 200 MHz on the existing board. Boosting RAM beyond 80 MB is also unlikely; RAM boosts in the 200 only increase disk space. The OB800 will take (user replacable) drives up to 8 GB without driver patches. EZ-Gig makes a patch to go beyond that. It takes almost any standard PC Card around (although some work better with OS upgrades), and can run most modern operating systems (I've had one running Win2K in Beta versions for somewhere in the vicinity of a year - long enough I can't remember more closely). SCSI on board and PCI/ISA slot on the docking station give still further expandability. In short, RAM and processor speed are about all you *can't* upgrade on the 800.

Please see my X-Finder test page at http://www.ne.jp/asahi/alpha/beta/xf/index.htm There I included a link to Seiko's English page, which then gives you a link to the partner company in U.S. (onHand). I do not know what happens to its availability in Europe. Basically RUPUTER is a wristwatch which runs DOS (a subset I suppose). A 3-line serial interface on the left-hand side, IR interface on the top side. A small cursor bar on the bottom. There are for buttons, which works as follows: MENU: toggle menu screen ENTER: select the menu LIGHT: Switch on the back light (switches off automatically after some time -- duration configurable) FILER: switch to/from FILER Note: Press down FILER key for a while pulls up a clock window The user interface is very similar to the game console of Nintendo Entertainment System (1st generation), where you can do everything with cursor keys and A and B buttons. The bundles software is PIM tools (Memo, Schedule, Address Book, To do, Don't Forget, Family Memo) and games, which runs on Ruputer and the link and sync software, which runs on Windows or on Mac. The link between HP200LX and RUPUTER was made possible, thanks to the work of Rei Katsuka, who wrote the following utility programs, which runs on DOS of HP200LX. RULI (RUputer LInk for LX) RUPA (RUPuter Address Converter for LX) RUPIC (RUputer PIm Converter for LX) RULI links a HPLX with a Ruputer via IR port. Support a DOS-like command line interface to HPLX, which works as a remote console for a Ruputer. Commands are: ul (upload), dl (download), del, rd, cd, md, dir, tset (set time), tget (get time), cp (copy), ren (rename), neg (negotiate), end, rst (reset), bat (show battery level), ver, chk (chkdsk) and fmt (format). Also the package contains various icon files for the Ruputer file types (ideal for X-Finder). RUPA converts Ruputer's ADR and INI files to and from CSV format. Image files are converted to ICN format and a command string for IPEX is supplied automatically. RUPIC converts Ruputer's various file (TXM, TDO, DFM, FMM, MMP, SND, STW, INI). TXM (Memo), FMM (Family Memo), DFM and TDO (ToDo) are converted to/from CSV (comma separated variables) format. MMP (bitmap) are converted to/from ICN format. Ruputer's SND files are converted to/from HPLX's SND files. On the other hand, X-Finder R.11 Beta 6 (11-FEB-2000) first supported IR connection with PC (earlier version supported the wired serial line connection only). And finally, X-Finder R.11 Beta 7 (17-MAR-2000) bundled XFS (X-Finder Server) for Ruputer. XFS.EXF (.EXF is a Ruputer's exec file) runs on a Ruputer and makes Ruputer's drives as remote drives on X-Finder on HPLX. Using a Ruputer together with HPLX gives you an entire new experience, compared with using Ruputer with Windows Link software. Particularly so if you use X-Finders sophisticated user interface.

The first thing I noticed was how slow it downloaded pages, but a little testing showed that light sleep is the problem. Using an Accton card and LXEN2216 I downloaded a file from a local machine. The file was simple html, no graphics. I was not using an adaptor. Results are: Normal mode 2k/min Pressing ALT key 12k/min Light sleep disabled 80k/min With light sleep disabled, or on an adapter, it looks like it would be usable. I haven't tried it using a modem though. For a real world test, I went to www.palmtop.net, still with light sleep disabled. It took about 2 minutes for it to download the page, and render it on the screen. Most of this time was to "adjust" the multiple tables and the image map. When it was finally done, it was a pretty good representation of the page. Unfortuneately, none of the links would work. I tried to manually enter another url to visit, and Arachne crashed. A visit to ebay's search page had similar problems. The page looked ok, but none of the links would work. For less complex pages it seems to work well for the limited testing I've done. Also, I have not tried to optimize the configuration any.

If you have these points in digital format it will be a simple matter to use qedit to make a comma delimited file from it that will go into lotus very nicely.

At the time, we were making a decision how how much to upgrade her sister's circa 1995 Micron Pentium (100mhz) computer's RAM (originally at 16mb): >>>>>>>>> I just learned that the Pentiums introduced in 1995 used a chipset that could only cache memory up to 64mb (even though they supported 128mb). This means that installing more than 64mb on one of these machines would actually send the performance downward rather than upward. This is because Windows loads applications into the top addresses first, which means that if we had 128mb, it would load into the uncached 64mb area rather than the cached 64mb. Cached memory is monitored by the chipset's cache controller, which loads data into the processor's L1 and L2 caches before the processor actually needs it. 60ns memory is 16mhz, so If the processor has to access data from this memory, it has to slow down from it's normal speed to 16mhz. (I believe the fastest memory available is 100mhz) The idea behind the cache is to have the data ready for the processor before it actually needs it; it predicts what data will be needed next. Thus, if there is a cache hit (a correct prediction), then the processor accesses the data at the speed of the cache rather than the speed of memory. The L1 cache is full-speed (the same speed as the processor), so there is no slow-down, but the L2 cache can be 1/2 speed or full-speed, depending on the system. So if the data that needs to be accessed is not in cached memory, then the processor can only access the data at the speed of the memory. <<<<<<<<< - Longden (who's usually dreaming even while wide awake) Barry on 04/02/2000 08:22:44 AM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to Barry To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: Correction about what I said about pentium cache I just realized I said in an earlier post that the older pentiums cache stops working if it has more than 40 meg installed.

It's in all of the early pentiums. They fixed it in the P2. I'm not sure about the early Celerons but it's fixed in the new Celerons. It doesn't matter which OS you use. Depending on how you use your computer, the extra ram might help more than it hurts. If you're running very ram hungry programs like imaging packages, or if you're running a lot of programs at the same time, the added ram will cut down on the amount of swapping to disk and give you more speed than you lose by not having the cpu cache. But if you run only one program at a time and it's not a really resource intensive program the extra ram will result in a little slower operation. I've heard numbers like 5% to 15%. I don't think there's any way to really know how much. There are too many other factors determining speed and it's probably different for everybody and every program. If you're happy with the speed of your computer, I wouldn't worry about it. I put 80 meg in mine the day I got it so I never used it with the cache working. I didn't find out about this till I'd had the computer over a year. I was perfectly happy with it's speed before I knew so I didn't really worry about it. I have a newer, faster Thinkpad now. But I still use the old one for a number of things and I still don't feel like it's slow.

The Simple Tech cards, for some unknown reason, disable that and the palmtop is always running at "full speed ahead." The 200LX is slow enough that both cards run the same speed (extremely quickly -- nearly as fast as the internal RAM drive) in it. In other machines, though, they use the same power, from my measurements, and the Simple Tech cards are much faster. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 3 Apr 2000 08:56:41 MEST Reply-To: stephan.goeldi@datacomm.ch Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stephan Goeldi Subject: Re: Correction about what I said about pentium cache Comments: To: FRiC MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >This is not entirely true, and it all depends on the chipset used. >For example, the Intel 430HX chipset can cache up to 4 GB, while >the 430FX, and the (newer!) 430VX and 430TX have the 64 MB limitation. >Non-Intel chipsets can usually go up to 4 GB too.

I did import the 2000 points into LOTUS before without a problem (similar procedure to Barry's). The question, in fact, was to to convert the lat/long data, already kept in LOTUS, into UTM coordinates. I had also tried to convert the lat/long points to UTM with the GPS (the most significant points only, as converting 2000 points by hand was impossible). However, results were poor due to the low precision with which lat/long data can be input into the (my) GPS (Apollo Precedus). The area I want to plot is about 250*250 meters, so precision has to be at least about 5 decimals of geographical seconds, as compared to one decimal of a second my GPS allows. I am aware that the mathematics of conversion are not simple, approximations do not work, especially at the degree of resolution required. For the moment I have solved the problem by overlaying the UTM Map with a lat/long grid, plotting lat/long data. But it would be nice, of course, to use UTM maps directly.

(We were told by HP that we wouldn't get them). We have been out of stock since February. I believe this availability is an anomaly and you won't see many other new ones around. HP confirmed to me (numerous times) that it will not make more -- even large orders. We will sell these only as 64 meg or 32 meg. (We have a standing order and could sell most as 8 meg to one company). Currently, 96 megs are out of stock, and Mack doesn't know when he will be able to order more. We will sell these new 200LX's on a first come, first served basis (we've already sold 10). If interested, call at 800 373 6114 or email us at orders@thaddeus.com. In a month or so I expect to be able to share a number of extremely positive and exciting developments on the 200LX front, some that have been hinted at here and some new developments.

The phrases "version is not supported" and "no migration" are clear. These phrases say nothing about your truthfulness, honesty and veracity - those items are not in dispute or discussion here. These phrases say nothing about the product's ability to work or not either.

By the way, there was also mention in this post of a 100 mhz limit on ram but I think sram can be much faster and I think sram is used for the cache.

Tell them to make these pages comply with HTML 3.2 and HV will support them. There is a move to simplify, but many of them still think they can use Java, frames, Javascript etc. Maybe these are supported by some handheld programs, but HV does not. > So atleast for me my usefulness of the hv on the web has increased and > will increase even more in the future while more people/institutions/enter > prises get aware of that handhelds are more common and will be even more > common. I hope there will be more. There seems to be a realization that people really want content, not just flashing lights and pictures. There will be problems with security and so on. Banks for example, will want to utilize some secure communication, but HV supports none, since no one standard emerged. There are several and we cannot put them all in. A loooong time ago, Andreas said he might be able to put one of them in. Since then there were some changes to HV, and we may have no more code space at all, even if one standard did emerge. I really hope someone will do a good browser for the Palmtop. One that can support all the goodies we got used to in Netscape and MSIE. I think it won't happen because I am seeing huge 7 and 8 and 15 MB programs on desktops to accomplish all that. What chance do we have on the little palmtop? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 4 Apr 2000 12:26:04 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Stefan.Peichl@T-ONLINE.DE Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stefan Peichl Subject: DeskJet 500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable My DeskJet 500 works perfect with the palmtop. I own the early model with parallel and serial interface. Later models only have the parallel interface. I have the parallel interface connected to my desktop and the serial interface connected to the palmtop, using the original palmtop serial cable and the original palmtop printer adapter which converts the 9-pin end of the serial cable to the 24-pins needed at the printer side. My "mouse piano" setting of the DeskJet is: Block A Block B up x x 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 down x x x x x x x x x x x x x x You find the "piano" at the lower front panel. Just lift the printer from the front and you will see it. Usually all switchs are down. My setting of block A selects european paper size and my setting of block B selects 300dpi graphic instead of 75dpi. To use the printer form the palmtop, I first have to disconnect the parallel cable from the desktop. The printer seems to be hard wired to use the parallel output if both (parallel and serial connections) are found. This even has to be done, if the desktop is not powered. The parallel port of the desktop must have some short circuits which indicate, it's there. However you may remove the parallel cable either from the printer or the desktops end. I prefer the desktops end, it's easier to reach. One indication to see that the printer is connected to the palmtop is the move of the printer head at power on of the printer. If you still have the parallel cable plugged in, it does not move! If the head moves, the second point on the palmtops side is to make sure that the serial port is powered and set up with the right parameters. I use (my) LXPRO TSR to do that. Already years ago I implemented the '0' hotkey to set up a serial printer with 9600,8,N,1. All you have to do is to invoke LXPRO or LXPROMIN with Ctrl-Tab and then press the 0 key and ESC to close the LXPRO popup window again. Now the printer is ready to go. The advantage of LXPRO is, that you can use it always, whether you are in the middle of a SysMgr or DOS prgramm. You don't have to care about serial port settings before you start using a program. As Printer Driver Setting in SysMgr I use HP LaserJet. But this has only effect on SysMgr programs, like MiniFax which works perfect with this setting to print out faxes. From DOS and other SC sessions it works perfect to print text. If you want to print graphics from DOS, you need to install the DOS programm GRAPHICS with the appropriate driver for the DeskJet, but this is another story...

I asked here on the list how I could do this, but I did not get any solution to this. This problem "went" away when I bought a ethernetcard for the Hplx and hooked the Hplx to my hub. The Hplx is a bit slow, but I could use my desktop for surfing while downloading to the Hplx. I used the laptop with a external modem(isdn/rs232 phone), but I found no solution to the setup you describe. I had a solution where I ran Www/lx on the pcmciacard and then downloaded mails/news to the card and then pulled it out and inserted it in the Hplx. I wanted the download speed the laptop had, but wanted to use the Hplx for reading/replying. I also had Www/lx in slot 1 and a ethernetcard connected to my hub and tried it that way, but I did not find a solution. I got Www/lx working on the desktop too, but not with pcmcia modem on the laptop. > i have an old ob 1200 baud modem but it is too slow. > Then, i can log one and hopefully get operational. > > anyone with experience here would reaaly help. my reason is that my > fingers are cramping from using the 200lx so much!

The April, 2000 Network Magazine had an article at the bottom of page 20 that reads as follows: Open Air? Wireless lovers are going to hate this: A U.S. patent on a portion of the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) standard could further delay deployment of wireless Internet infrastructure within the United States. Under patent #5,327,529, software manufacturer Geoworks (www.geoworks.com) describes a way of adjusting a program's user interface to fit the type of device accessing it. This covers Wireless Markup Language (WML), the code at the heart of WAP that's used for specifying wireless Web pages. Geoworks denies that it is trying to make an open standard proprietary. "We will be actively working with all members to ensure that they have fair rights to our technology," says Dave Grannan, Geoworks' president and CEO. That's going to cost, however. Grannan and company demand 10 percent of competitors' WAP revenue in royalties. It's easy to see why; With the Yankee Group (www.yankeegroup.com) estimating that one in four Americans will own a WAP phone by 2004, Geoworks stands to gain a bundle. Assuming, of course, they don't kill the spec in the process. With Geoworks breaking ranks, other WAP forum members may also demand licensing fees for their own contributions to the standard. Vendors interested in WAP might find other technologies to replace it, like those from 3Com and Qualcomm, but those, too, are proprietary. In the end, the market could coalesce around the devil it knows -- HTML. Microsoft already contends that many wireless surfers will demand the familiar HTML-based Web, rejecting WML's scaled-down version. - Andy Dornan ÝHere's hoping! - Alan¨ Still, I agree with Avi that there are essential functions that we cannot handle, such as security, that must be developed or we will be left behind.

The cause of the error is that for repeating ToDo entries where the last occurrence is after the period to be removed, the program does not seem to copy the record that defines the end of the of the ToDo period into the archive file.

Comments: To: Peter Eberl MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Peter, I opened up the 700 and my 200, and it looked like it wouldn't be possible. But not being an expert, I contacted one, who informed me it would not be possible - the two are just too different. What I do know is that you can really easily get the PC card out of the bottom of the 700 and use it in the 200. It took a while with Nokia to get them to sell me the dongle, but it is possible to get. Now I need to find a set of applications that work as nicely as the built in apps the 700 has. I just want to receive a fax automatically when my office fax forwards it; get SMS messages from my office; and use the built in phone book to forward these on. Pretty simple needs. I bought a Nokia communicator (which I think HP wrote the software for), and it works great, but I don't want to give up my 200 and all the other applications that I use extensively - like solver; databases, etc. Besides, the Communicator's phone quality is absolutely crummy compared to my 2190, even though phone-wise they are basically the same. I am letting Nokia look at the Communicator now to see if something is wrong with the phone itself. I hope so - this phone has rotten connection, echoes, and its coverage is about half my 2190.

It works fine. It's especially good with software carousel, where you can have an editor open in one session, the manual or other reference in a second and view the interpreter results in another - just like having an IDE. The total install was about 1MB, but by stripping out a 386-only exe and the manual and docs, you should be able to get it down to about 350k. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2000 03:39:22 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , fjkaufman@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "F.

I asked here on the list how I could do this, but I did not get any solution to this. This problem "went" away when I bought a ethernetcard for the Hplx and hooked the Hplx to my hub. The Hplx is a bit slow, but I could use my desktop for surfing while downloading to the Hplx. I used the laptop with a external modem(isdn/rs232 phone), but I found no solution to the setup you describe. I had a solution where I ran Www/lx on the pcmciacard and then downloaded mails/news to the card and then pulled it out and inserted it in the Hplx. I wanted the download speed the laptop had, but wanted to use the Hplx for reading/replying. I also had Www/lx in slot 1 and a ethernetcard connected to my hub and tried it that way, but I did not find a solution. I got Www/lx working on the desktop too, but not with pcmcia modem on the laptop. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2000 01:22:31 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "74737,221" <74737.221@COMPUSERVE.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "74737,221" <74737.221@COMPUSERVE.COM> Subject: Re: wwwlx on ob430q Comments: To: "INTERNET:fjkaufman@worldnet.att.net" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Have you actually gotten this to work?

One of them is to check whether your are logged in at that point in time. The good news is that it shouldn't prevent you from sending mail. Choose once and for all your main mailing address and put the same FROM address for all the mails you send from any smtp. In your case, define 2 setups in your mailing program (I use nettamer) : - One with union-tel phone number using union-tel smtp with bmeyer@union-tel.com in the FROM field when you are at home. - One with freewwweb phone number using freewwweb smtp with bmeyer@union-tel.com (yes, @union-tel.com) in the FROM field when you are outside home. Subscribe to all mailing list as bmeyer@union-tel.com and only check your pop box bmeyer@union-tel.com. You don't need to check freewwweb pop box as you should never receive mail there. Use setup 1 or 2 depending on your current location. Regards, \/ /ves p.s.

You could actually use the built in wapbrowser in the 7110 to access your pop3 account if you want to. I can do it, but it cost the same as a regular call. Replying via wap is not the thing to do..

You use a 2190 you say. That is on PCS network or something. I do not know how these networks work. The 9000 you got is a 9000IL?

I have added the phonenumbers that I use to send sms too in the post.adr file (addressbook). Then I have a Sms "mail"box where I compose the messages and then send them via irda and 7110. Works great. I doubt that you can use the pcmcia card which is in the Hp700lx for this. I tried this when I had the Hp700lx. The pcmciacard does not support the ETSI 07.03(5?) standard.

That's because an internal dc/dc converter changes the 2.4v-3v from the batteries to 5V (and 12V?) for the PCMCIA slot. To get out 150mA at 5V (750mW) would take 300mA at 2.5V and on top of that you have to allow for conversion (in)efficiency losses. I've never seen any measurements of this (in) efficiency - it would be interesting for someone with access to a PCMCIA current measuring device to see what it translates to when measured at the battery... (* I find it hard to believe that the converter could deliver 300mA from the PCMCIA port) Don't throw that card out yet! Best regds Jez On Wed, 29 Mar 2000, David Sargeant replied: > Extremely bad.

The yellow ribbon cable on the right of the screen, which handles the horizontal pixel rows, is permanently affixed to both the glass and the circuit board below. Any damage to this cable essentially destroys the screen by causing essentially irreversible horizontal lines of blank pixels. So, the glass and circuit board are one inseperable unit. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2000 08:34:24 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Daniel Hertrich Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Daniel Hertrich Subject: Fwd: HP 95LX cable MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi friends, can someone of you please help this guy?

Tnx for the info. Absolutely. The BNC is not supposed to work in the 200LX -- they told me over the phone that the EN2216-2 will work, but only the RJ-45 jack for 10Base-T connections, not the BNC jack for 10Base-2. Obviously it does work in some palmtops, but it seems dangerous to me. And, in addition, the EN2216-1 uses a lot less power than the -2. And I think it's generally less expensive. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2000 12:15:49 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Fryday Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Fryday Subject: Free ISP MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Talking of free ISPs: http://nzlist.org/user/freeisp/index.htm Thanks, Philippe ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2000 22:38:17 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , fernando_ruiz2@HP.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Fernando Ruiz Subject: Re: Free ISP MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; name="BDY.TXT" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi!, Anyone know any free ISP services like it (freewwweb) but at Europe??

It is even a bit worse: The ISP can tell that you logged in at some time in the past, but they cannot tell if you are currently logged in... If you are "quiet" for some time, they can't tell if you logged off at your end, or that you are just quiet. Most ISPs give you some time to stay connected, then, if it is quiet during some prescribed amount of time, they disconnect.

Working phones: Siemens S25, S35i Nokia 7110, 8110, 8210, 8250, Motorola L series (if I rememer correctly) But be aware of the EMI problems ( http://daniel.hplx.net/emi )! The Siemens phones suffer extremely from these problems, so that in some cases it is impossible to get an IrDA connection at all if you go online with the phone (SMS works, since the phone doesn't send while transfering data via IR). The Nokia phones get a connection in most cases, but the connection is slower than 9600 because of the interference problems. The Motorola L (was reported some weeks ago by someone here on the list) got a good connection. Don'T know if it gets the full 9600 baus or less. Since all phones only speak the IrDA protocol (the HLX speaks HPSIR), the two devices are not directly compatible. You have to use special software that allows the LX to speak IrDA. The only software for WWW, mail and news that speaks IrDA is the WWW/LX suite by D&A software.

My last setting was in December. It's probably the dreaded Y2K problem. PCTime may not be able to handle dates after 12/31/99.... Just a guess. If so, it was a good program while it worked.

You're quite likely right, but I'm not sure the latest NetWare client can be run with the 200LX and the Accton card ... for one thing, the Accton card's ODI driver doesn't run on the 200LX, so it's always taken a special setup to allow us to use a Netware server with an Accton card. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 7 Apr 2000 13:51:03 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , GJColeman@CSI.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: George Coleman Subject: Re: PCTime error 5??

I think it is this slow. In a previous thread about Bobcat, I listed some download speeds using Arachne and the effect of light sleep. With light sleep disabled, www.palmtop.net took only 2 min to display. Still way too long, but better than almost 10.

I can store 5 numbers and 2 textfields for each of the 1000 names in the phonebook on the 7110. (Only 2 of these fields can be stored:email/Label/Note) The S25 can not store more than one phonenumber per name, but it should work to beam to them From the Hplx.

The 48 end is unlabeled and the diagram isn't clear to me so I'm guessing by following the lines back in the diagram. But it's hard to be sure about what I see going to the 48. I hope that helps.

Light sleep is an energy saving feature of the palmtop, which someone else can surely explain better than I. The effect is that it slows down many activities when running on batteries, including apparently file transfers over network cards (probably modems too) and screen draws. I use LXSTAT available on SUPER to temporarily turn off light sleep when desired. Other utilities are also available to control this and other features. Arachne does work reasonably well on simple pages, but then WWW/LX and HV works great on simple pages, with a much smaller footprint. Unfortuneately neither work well on more complex pages.

I cannot remember - was it 8210 or 8250? But if both exist, both should work, since AFAIK the in the phone name ABDC the AB is the model and the CD stands for what nets it supports. 10 is 900 MHz, 30 is 1800 MHz, 50 is dual band (900+1800), 90 is 1900 MHz. Or is this wrong? > Future phones that needs testing (S35i tested?) 6210 or 6250(not sure if these > has "real" irda/modem). Ericsson R320 and Nokia 8890(worldphone). I tested the S35i at Cebit and it worked fine. I don't really know if it works better than the S25.

In view of a recent successful legal outcome for Sandisk concerning litigation between Sandisk and Lexar a Sandisk stock holder I know contacted Simple Tech to ask if they had any relationship with Lexar. In their reply Simple Tech indicated that they receive their flash components from Hitachi who pays appropriate license fees to Sandisk. It was not clear from the context if the components they obtained from Hitachi included the controller technology or if this came from another source (eg SSTI which has a cross-licencing agreement with Sandisk).

Yes I think you are right. But I am not sure if this is the case anymore. I think the 8210 is a dual 900/1800 too. I know the 8850 is dual. The 6110 was 900Mhz and 6150 was dual so I am not sure anymore about the 8210.

I hope you did not take my post as criticism of your comments - it was not intended that way. In a constantly changing technology it is hard to say who is best or fastest at any one moment. Add into the mixture that some companies use deceptive advertising (Lexar IMO) and that reporters can over rely on company press releases (have not seen the Washington Post article so I am not saying that reporter did) and you have a system ripe with confusion. An example of deceptive advertising is a speed comparison that Lexar had on their web site some time ago that compared their latest technology to that of older Sandisk technology - I am not sure if that page still exists. I had hoped that my post made it clear that I did not know where Simple Tech got their controllers from but that they did not have a direct business relationship with Lexar. Of course this statement does not preclude Hitachi from providing them with controllers that originated at Lexar! At various conferences etc. Sandisk executive personnel have emphasised data reliabilty over speed so they probably do not have the fastest controllers in the business. The cross licensing with SSTI would tend to confirm this statement - why cross-license a controller technology if their own was adequate? The problem with forum members trying to test these technologies is that they are constantly evolving and the differences are getting smaller as everybody improves. As a Sandisk stock holder I will comment that while I might prefer you to buy a Sandisk card - it does not really matter as pretty much everybody else (except Lexar) pays royalties to Sandisk any way :-) Simpletech is at a competitive disadvantage wrt Sandisk in the pricing market because they are a card assembler - they make none of the components and must negotiate with suppliers in advance. Sandisk on the other hand makes many of the components for themselves. As there is currently a global shortage of flash chips companies like Simpletech have trouble negotiating with suppliers if they have to do so at this moemnt in time. The flip side of this is that Sandisk can not make enough product to meet demand (order books are full for at least the next quarter) and so we the consumer should not expect price reductions for a while - except Lexar media fire sales:-) I might mention that Sandisk and Toshida (a strategic partner) are building a fab facility in N. Carolina (?) that should go online before the end of the year IIRC. Now, how much of my post is advertising, mistruths (unintentional - I assure, if there are any) :-) Finally, please continue to post comments and questions - that way everybody benefits from the answers or has an opportunity to correct a misunderstanding. Online fora are strange because the only `emotion' is expressed through the words typed which may appear abrupt because the typist is in a hurry even though that is not their intent. my biggest problem with this forum (and others) is that I have little time to participate as much as I could or would like too. Oh, btw age is irrelevant here - just nice to know you are keeping yourself interested - my parents who are ~20 years younger than yourself have yet to touch a computer!

Typically, they might run 15 or 16 volts without a load applied. If the specified load isn't there, then it may be less than 15 or 16 volts, but still enough to make the machine run hot. MCM sells a power supply which, while it is a little large for toting around, offers about 1/2 dozen voltages -- all regulated -- at about 2 amps max. They sell for $10.00 or $12.00 and are well worth the money. I am sure that there are others with more expertise than I who can comment, but those little regulated supplies from MCM really are a bargain.

Only problem is that the built-in charging "program" is only a software 6 hour timer. Charges at 100mA for 6 hours, then drops to 40mA. Modern NiMH will need 2 cycles (at least) to fully charge. The built-in system has no intelligence. For "smart" charging, you can try D&A Software's ABC/LX or the freeware Charge-It! by yours truly (on SUPER).

I remember Sandisk and Lexar were involved in a lawsuit of some kind, so perhaps they DID switch over to using the Hitachi controller.

I used the green Shier System 1300 mAhNi-MH's for a while, then switched to Radio Shack's 1200mAh about a year ago. I think I have cooked my latest set well enough now, and am ready to buy a new pair. I charge them at high current for the maximum time, each time my LX is plugged in (yes I know Avi, its not the optimum usage of ABC/LX). I am not being very nice to my batteries, but I don't care, I want them fully charged at all times, and the minor cost for a pair of batteries, is a minor cost. I also leave one of my ST 40 meg flash cards in my slot at all times, and my batteries don't last very long lately. The last time I pounded on the palmtop hard, I only got about six hours before I had to put my back up alkalines in. There has been lots of chatter lately in regards to the 1500 & 1600 mA Ni-MH's, but I don't know where to order them from. I would prefer to walk in a store to purchase them, rather than buying from the web, but if I have to get them from the web, to get the newer hi-cap Ni-MH's, then I would buy from the web. I would at least like a company that I can call and talk to a live person, even if it is at my expense. I did go to the Digikey web site, but could not find what I was looking for. Any suggestions on brands or performance? I thought I heard mention on Panasonic making some. Thanks.

The icon with the same trigger key that occurs first is the one that gets "triggered". If you add a new icon, you can just make it something benign, like "d:\dos\command.com /c echo" and the inverted question mark to suppress the "press enter to return..." message. This just makes the menus go away and come back.

Someone (Ed, I think) posted directions a while back on how to remove native LX applications from the App Manager. If I remember correctly, it had to do with using a hex editor to overwrite the bits of \_dat\appmgr.dat that called out the application. By the way, don't try editing this file with Memo--you need a hex editor (I learned the hard way). Ted -- Theodore W.

I had a set that's lasted for over a year and still get fairly good life, plus they seem to charge fast. As for other brands, I've compared the Olympus batteries to some 1500mAh Digikeys and the latter gets a bit more life, albeit with a longer charge time. For example, I charged the Olympus to a max of 2.90v for 13 hours (from completely dead) and it ran a continuous batchfile loop test for 18 hrs, 42 min. The DigiKey was never able to charge higher than 2.87v, and took 15 hours to do so (also from a complete drain), but ran the same test for 20hrs, 37min. I bought the DigiKey cells from another list member (Mike Kopplin), so I don't have a local source for those.... but they compare close enough that I'd just buy the Olympus cells at the camera shop (when and if the old ones ever quit). Sold for about $25 for a set of 4 cells. They also sell a set with a charger, but I charge mine in the LX using ABC/LX. While you're at it, you might want to look for a 48mb Sandisk CF at the same store, if battery life is important to you. I got something like an extra 2 hours of use in switching from my 40mb Simple Tech flash card to the Sandisk CF. - Longden Robert Hocking on 04/10/2000 09:23:11 AM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to Robert Hocking To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: Need source for hi-cap Ni-MH batteries Hi all, I need a source to purchase some hi-capacity Ni-MH batteries for my LX.

My first 200LX gave me seven years of great service, and I'm hoping this new one will do the same. I hope that within that timeframe a suitable device (truly pocket sized, real keyboard, decent database program, etc.) will become available. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2000 15:46:46 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , hpstaber@COMPUSERVE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Hans Peter Staber Subject: Re: SELECTION IN PE Comments: To: Winfried Zettelmeyer MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Winfried Zettelmeyer wrote: > > Hi all, > > I am experiencing a strange phenomenon with PE.

No major changes, apart from a new maintainer. See the documentation for the minor changes. For various business, personal, and PDA-platform reasons, I am unable to continue HP200LX development. Note that I still read HPLX-L (on my HP200LX, of course), and my HP200LX still continues to be my main source of connectivity when I am travelling on business. The fifth lesson in open-source software development from "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" (http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/cathedral-bazaar-2.html) says: "5. When you lose interest in a program, your last duty to it is to hand it off to a competent successor." David Sargeant has graciously volunteered to take over the maintenance of LXTCP and PNR, with behind-the-scenes help from a couple of other people. David felt that it was important to maintain the centrality of the open-source networking solutions for the HP200LX, so he will act as the "font-man" for these programs. It also gives him a prime opportunity to become *the* HPLX networking and open-source C programming guru !

I'd expect a normal W95 fdisk and format to work OK on any card bound for the LX, but I'll admit that's conjecture (I haven't done this in years ... if at all). After it's done, chkdsk on the LX (or any good disk utility) should reveal any abnormalities (unwanted hidden files, large clusters, etc). But the same utilities already exists on the LX: d:\bin\fdisk100.exe and d:\dos\format.com Might just run a little slower on processing a 96mb card . BTW, I'm not sure I've ever heard of a flash/CF being permanently damaged or altered by a format/fdisk where it couldn't be undone. I'd personally try the fdisk/format on a laptop first, because it should only take a few seconds, and if it fails to read properly on the LX, then fdisk100/format on the LX...... but I'll admit it's not my dollar (or whatever they use in Norway). - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2000 14:32:57 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Franklin Eekhout Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Franklin Eekhout Subject: Re: Flash card formatting...

I use selections with PE all the time and don't see this happening, so it certainly is not normal for PE. Did it ever work correctly? I wonder if you may be pressing a regular character key after making the selection. With PE, if you highlight a selection and then press a key, such as A, it will delete the selected text and replace it with the A. Could you be doing that? Of course, a corrupted copy of PE.EXE or it's support files it a possibility.

Try the same program with the palmtop plugged into external power and see if it runs faster. If it does then this confirms that lite sleep (the processor going to sleep during calls to the BIOS) is causing the delays. And this would not happen with a regular PC/XT. If you target is not the palmtop, then perhaps you can live with the slowness on the palmtop being assured it is faster on a XT or only test the speed while the palmtop is on the AC adapter. If your target is the palmtop, then you will have to re-write your routines to not use whatever BIOS routines you are using that are allowing lite sleep. Usually this happens if you are checking for a keypress. This BIOS routine puts the processor to sleep for a while after checking for a key and not seeing one.

The palmtop can charge the batteries at either 100 ma (high rate) or 40 ma (low rate). Normally, with undisturbed charging, the palmtop will fast charge for 6 hours and then drop down the slow charge for ever after that. But if the palmtop is disturbed (meaning AC is disconnected, then connected again or charging disabled/enabled) then it will restart the 6 hour cycle again. There are lots of programs available to change the 6 hour cycle time or manually select fast or slow charging.

The way I get Quicken is if I just press the Q without the Menu key. If you cannot get rid of the Q being the shortcut key for Quicken, then you can create an icon for something harmless and define it's shortcut key to be Q and then make sure this icon appears before the Quicken icon. Then a Q keypress will shortcut your new harmless icon instead of Quicken. Or you can install Buddy and get used to using Menu, Period to quit from any application and Menu, DEL to close all applications and Menu, Shift-DEL to terminate Sysmgr. And the Buddy keys are available in all applications.

Odd. One pair of the batteries were $9.99, and two pair were $17.99. I bought the one pair, because I will be charging them in my LX, so I don't need two pair, to swap charged, for discharged.

First, to exit system manager, you go to Application Manager and hit Menu,A,T. Menu Q just exits Appl Manager. Q is the hot key for Quicken. If you are getting Quicken, then the Menu key is not getting read. This happens to me, sometimes, when I don't push the menu key quite hard enough. Try Alt, Q instead. Or ESCape - does the same thing! To be sure you don't get Quicken accidentally, assign another EXM to the Q key and move it ahead of Quicken in the App Mgr list. (I use QuickView.) Use key200 to reassign the Quicken key itself to Notepad, viz.: Ctrl Quicken : ¬Ctrl Ctrl Quicken ¬Quicken ¬Ctrl Alt Quicken : Alt Quicken ¬Quicken ¬Alt Quicken : Ctrl Memo ¬Memo ¬Ctrl !

Nope... The 100LX has an older version of the PC card driver that doesn't work with more modern cards. If you can get it, ACECARD.COM will enable it. There may be other drivers available. I think Thaddeus has a driver for the real monster (>220MB) that might also work, but I don't know if they'll sell it separately.

I have a microporte external modem. I have used it to dial to mindspring with ww/lx, Goin postal, lxpop and lxmta, as well as nettamer. The problem currently is that it dials, it connects, but the ppp link is not made. Www/lx gives me various errors, never the same one, Goin postal and lxpop do not make the link, and nettamer does work, period. I suspect the modem, but since it dials and conects, I am not sure what to try. Username and password were checked many times. Epppd setting changed from modem to local, with no effect. I connect with Win95 just fine. The only time I have heard of special connecting scripts was with Nettamer, which doesnt work in the latest version (I dont have version 108, the last known by me to work fine). Any ideas appreciated.

Using dos or the bios is a little bit slow. I'm not sure what asic does but it's probably using the bios. You might check and see if asic lets you do something like basic's poke. If so, and if it's fairly fast, you can use that to write directly to the screen. If that doesn't work out, see if it lets you have assembly functions. There are a lot of assembly fast update routines around to use with QuickBasic. They might or might not work with asic. By the way, why are you using asic when QuickBasic is downloadable free all over the web now? Asic might or might not be better but you can be sure there is MUCH more stuff like this available for QuickBasic. Using an offbrand compiler basically means you're on your own.

Run it with the archives on your desktop for speed reasons (you need PALRUN to emulate palmi on your desktop). Another nice add on to PalEdit is FIND/LX which does an approximate search (similar to search routines used e.g. at AltaVista). I use it if I don't know the exact search string.

I think you do it right, but PE maybe corrupt? I cannot duplicate what you describe. Shift-Down arrow just moves and highlights one line at a time. Maybe you press the Fn also somehow?

But pure code in a program that does not call any of the lite-sleep-inducing BIOS routines will always work at full speed. Suppose you have a program that is going to do a bunch of calculations for a while and you program into there a check to see if the user presses any key to signal he wants to abort the calcs. Well, depending on how you check for that keypress, most C libraries make a call to the keyboard checking BIOS routine. Well, that particular BIOS routine will activate lite sleep when it is called. But if you don't have a keyboard check in your calcs or if you check for a key in some way that does not use that BIOS routine, then lite sleep will not be activated and the calcs will run in full speed. Basically, lite sleep is activated when the BIOS thinks that the computer has some spare time to waste and that is usually while it is waiting for the human to press keys. So, if your program continually checks the keyboard for activity, even if only for an abort key, then the BIOS thinks you have a program which is asking for human input and therefore it uses lite sleep to save power.

It's a store that's right next to the Ed Sullivan Theater (Where Dave Letterman tapes) at around 54th and 8th ave. It's an electronics store that's going out of business. He had a 1MB 95LX ($249) ;P, a 2MB 100LX($249) and some Nino 300's ($179). The guy came out with a "I give you good price my, my friend." but I wasn't all that interested in owning a 100lx. I figure you should be able to talk him down to $200 on the 100lx. I know that the 95 is a ridiculous price but he probably doesn't know what he has. BTW: Caveat Emptor! These NYC electronics stores are notorious for rip-offs.

In all your feedback I can look for tips and items to set it up but finally the problema that I had was that the "epppd" doesn't work if I have System Manager up&running, then if you remenber the error was: ______________________________________ PPP link is down, driver not installed ______________________________________ Shutdown the System Manager "epppd" works fine and then all LXTCP utilities. Can you run "epppd" if you have System Manager up&running? I try to setup MaxDos but I've had the same symptoms. Very thanks to all and more specially to Theodore W.

I have had many problems running PALRUN, WWW/LX, POST/LX and PE on my OB800CT running Win95b.

You have correctly stated their terms for use: make their site your browser's homepage. However, I am able to use freewwweb when I use only Outlook for mail on my notebook and my browser is not even open, and I have also used freewwweb for e-mail with WWW/LX on my palmtop.

Also, I find that I tend to use the built-in programs more than others, even when the built-in program is relatively weak (e.g., Memo instead of PAL Edit). This is mainly due to laziness (press a single button, no need to set up), low memory usage (Buddy and Software Carousel take a big chunk of memory away), ability to run multiple programs in the same System Manager session, and stability.

You are basically correct that 512 bytes is a disk sector and the smallest unit of data from a disk transfer. When you were getting the data from the file one byte at a time, you were calling a specific DOS routine which then accessed certain BIOS support routines. Somewhere in that chain of routines, one of them was the kind of BIOS routine that will activate lite sleep. Then when you re-write you input routine to buffer itself, you called different DOS routines to get the data which, in turn, called different BIOS routines that did not have the effect of activating lite sleep. The BIOS tries to guess when the program that is running is getting input from the human. If it thinks it is getting human input, then lite sleep is activated. Sometimes, the BIOS guesses wrong and does lite sleep when we don't want it to. I suspect that your repeated calls to the routine to get a single character looked like input from the keyboard and so the palmtop lite slept. But when you got chunks of data instead, the BIOS was not fooled and so didn't lite sleep. These are just MHT (My Humble Theories) Stan ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2000 04:51:44 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: Power Adapter In-Reply-To: <200004131138.HAA01339@sphmraaa.compuserve.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Thu, 13 Apr 2000, Stanley Dobrowski wrote: > Don't think that way.

And, in fact, I've seen palmtops that couldn't handle it and had their ability to handle external power at all completely destroyed by plugging in a reverse-polarity plug.

This is a good point, and one I completely overlooked. In fact, I do use MaxDOS to run LXTCP without leaving the System Manager. To set that up I added a new application in the AppMgr (MORE key) with the path of: c:\utils\maxdos.com| I don't think there was anything else to it. Of course, you'll need to substitute your path for the "c:\utils\" part! Hope that helps. Ted -- Theodore W.

I think the possible attributes were normal, underlined, reversed and blinking. It's been a while so I may have some of that wrong. I doubt if Qedit includes underlining capability but if you check their website they have a LOT of macros you can download and I'll be surprised if they don't have one for underlining.

My idea is that I store pairs of words (or even phrases) in a text file, either comma seperated or blank or tab seperated, and use this program to rread the file and search through it. for example I have a file dict.txt containing and,und something,irgendwas don't know,weiss nicht finish,ende and I start the program, search for 'irgendwas' and it shows me irgendwas = something I don't want to have a regular English-German dictionary (I have one already), but i need a dictionary containing subject specific words for my studying. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2000 00:48:13 +0900 Reply-To: toshiki@j.email.ne.jp Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Toshiki Sasabe Subject: X-Finder R.11 Beta 9 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi All, I updated my X-Finder beta test page.

From the doc's : ____________________________________ 4.8 USING THE INFRARED PORT AND IrDA Starting with WWW.EXE version 2.1, WWW/LX supports the built-in infrared port of the palmtop and can talk the IrDA protocol. There is an increasing number of cellular phones with built-in modems that can be used that way. WWW/LX has been tested with the Nokia 8810 (firmware version 4.5 or higher required) and Ericsson SH888. Other phones may work as well. Here is how to set up an IrDA connnection: - Configure a setup entry in WWW.CFG so that "Port=-1" - Set Baud=38400 for a double speed or Baud=19200 for a regular palmtop - Place the phone so that the IR ports face each other - Set the phone to IR mode - Start WWW.EXE Note that the infrared hardware of the palmtop does not seem to be 100% compatible with those of the phones, so there are many transmission errors. The IrDA protocol and some tricks we added to improve error recovery should compensate for that in most cases, but we cannot guarantee that it will always work.

Also, I find that I tend to use the built-in programs more than others, even when the built-in program is relatively weak (e.g., Memo instead of PAL Edit). This is mainly due to laziness (press a single button, no need to set up), low memory usage (Buddy and Software Carousel take a big chunk of memory away), ability to run multiple programs in the same System Manager session, and stability. Yes, I know I can run multiple DOS programs with SC, but switching between sessions is still slower than between, say, Phone Book and Pocket Quicken. J. P.

I do use list and pal edit, but I have found that the fastest search program for DOS is a program called minitrue. The thing I miss is a program that will give a list of hits (like glimpse) so that I can choose where to go. The DOS programs force me to look at each hit individually, though they are faster than Windows explorer search. Currently I am thinking of using explorer search to find the hits, then use a DOS program to find the individual hit. Slow, but responses from the list seem slower still. :-) Domingo ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2000 00:30:57 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , ddvteach@JUNO.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: D Dv Subject: Re: MUST HAVE set of palmtop applications?

No, I rewrote an assembly program of mine to buffer 512 bytes and wrote a routine to return a byte at a time, as opposed to reading a disk file a byte at a time. Even on a RAM drive on a desktop machine the new routine was markedly faster. Reading a byte at a time is just slow.

Well, being an X-Finder fanatic, I'd suggest giving it a try. Of course it's MUCH more than a file xfer program. In conjunction with a small server prog on the desktop/laptop, it provides very fast transfers and more. Split-screen file manager on the palmtop, plus macros for full or partial backup & restore. Also "remote accelerator" (runs programs on the big machine). Version 10 is on SUPER - you'll also need XFS (the server).

I don't really need much of a laptop, but it has to have at least 4GB of space and 64MB of RAM to perform well. I could probably get something for around $1000, maybe $1200. I've been thinking about adding a larger drive to this IBM ThinkPad 365ED I may be able to get for a couple hundred dollars from a client who needs a more powerful laptop, but it maxes out at 24MB of RAM, and that would greatly slow hplx.net down. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2000 08:17:14 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Longden_Loo@CANDLE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: Is the news server down? Comments: To: David Sargeant Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii The Omnibook mailing list recently had a deal with MCCS (Motor City Computer Services) in Detroit to let its members buy used 800CT computers at a discount. My first one was a disaster, but it was replaced and the new one runs fine. Don't know if these are still available, or if they're suitable for use as servers, but they're 166mhz MMZ Pentiums, most with 48mb RAM and 2.1G drives, and included external CD drive, floppy and a docking station, all for $500. Supplies had mostly dwindled a few weeks ago, but the rep said they get additional stock occasionally. Father Al can give you details also. Docked configuration may not be portable enough to kid-proof tho. I upgraded mine to the max of 80mb RAM and a 6.4G drive afterwards for about $300 more. Total for me was $800, but I know you can get a good off the shelf new machine for not much more. My daughter recently bought a new HP 3210(?) Pavillion notebook with 32mb/4G for about $1000. - Longden David Sargeant on 04/14/2000 07:48:41 AM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to David Sargeant To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: Re: Is the news server down?

There is an elastic strap fastened with a snap to hold the bottom down to your belt (or attach a hip holster).

Subject: Re: reversed polarity was: power supply MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit About the only solution is to add a power diode between the HP's power input jack and motherboard, in series with the correct enamelled wire that's already there - so, if you plug in a backwards power supply, you don't see any power coming from the plug to the HP. (I'd use a Schottky diode, and add a half volt to the power plug if needed to compensate for the half-volt voltage drop you'd then get.) I haven't looked at this (need more used HP's to play with!), I can probably do this. I'll look into it, next used machine I get. It'd be pretty cheap to fix. Another alternative is to put a diode backwards, across the power leads, but then you might melt the enamelled wires from the plug to the motherboard if you plugged in a suplpy backwards - Doubt you want THAT!

I run this combination regularly now on my OB800CT - zero problems. I doubt that WWW/LX is even capable of changing bios settings - don't forget that this program was specifically written for palmtops, not for desktop machines.

Two Subsets, one showing the german word in col 1 and the other shows the English word in Col. 1. the German subset sorts on the german words etc. Switching subsets is fast. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2000 20:44:21 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , A Meshar Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Meshar Subject: Re: FS: XJ2144 PCMCIA modem (reduced price) Comments: To: mchem1@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi Al, mchem1@uconnvm.uconn.edu wrote: > Wed, 12 Apr 2000 10:34:07 -0500 (EST) > > Hi Avi: > > I'll have to check if I still have the MODEM.

It would be interesting to me from an intellectual point of view. The program hasn't got a clue what modem you have there. It assumes you have one plugged in the post, and it assumes you know your way around it and provided valid initialization string, which it sends to the post and the modem of course hears it. I think WWW/LX knows how to hang up on a modem (ATH) and that's about it. Everything else is provided by the user - speed, init string etc. I have long suspected that some of the modems that never worked were some type of plug-n-play, or relied on drivers to do some part of the initialization or even part of the process itself. Not much we can do about this... I think the rule of thumb we used is that if the modem works with datacomm, then you can set it up with commands and that means you can feed them via init string i.e. they'll work in WWW/LX. Actually Datacomm knows a tiny bit more about modems than www.exe, but not much more. So anyway, just my idle intellectual curiosity on this :-) ... ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2000 20:44:49 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , A Meshar Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Meshar Subject: Re: Dictionary program wanted Comments: To: dd diaz MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit dd diaz wrote: > Quick/LX will do what you want, except automatically.

Sysmgr can play around with the Com port 2. You might accidentally switch to another app by pressing a blue key,and I dont know how healthy this would be in the middle of a packet transfer. Remember Sysmgr is NOT multitasking. If you switch apps, the app in the background STOPS. 3. An alarm can go off while you are connected -same problem. 4. Some of the applications you run under epppd (Arachne?) need a lot of memory anyway and you really dont want to switch and shut down things while on line. I have found that when I am online, I want to be online and UNINTERRUPTED. For me the easiest way to do this is an LXTCP icon in AppMgr which calls maxdos and 200MNU (an alpha version) which gives me a menu of dial up numbers and when online a menu of programs to run. When I exit 200mnu, termin is called to disconnect, and I exit from MAXDOS. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 15 Apr 2000 12:54:25 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Martin Bergvill Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Martin Bergvill Subject: Re: Using IRDA between Going Postal/WWWLX and a Nokia 7110 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit On Thu, 13 Apr 2000 19:13:00 +0000, D-cripps@dircon.co.uk wrote: > > I think you should be able to just put > > -1 for the port in www/lx and use the irda.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <<<>>>> I've been wondering since a major 200lx programmer announced that he's going to start developing for the palm, just how much longer people will be using the 200lx. I think we all know there's nothing that can really replace it but the palm is pretty good and it has very large audience and will probably attract more and more pda programmmers. When we reach the point where there's not much new software for the 200lx anymore, what then? I realize that there's already such a huge library of software available that this doesn't seem like much of a problem. Until things change. When access to the internet changes and there's nobody around to write drivers or software for the new methods, whatever they might be, what then? And there are ways that can happen. Security changes, technology changes, low power, high speed modems, and what else? Or maybe some new software development will become a "must have" in the way that a spreadsheet did on early desktops, and nobody will be around to write one for the 200lx. Or maybe the Palm or the next WinCE OS or some other will become so good a year from now that it'll just be irresistable. I saw a review on www.winceonline.com about a new one with a new os that the reviewers think will be a major competitor to the Palm and WinCE because of it's improved communications and it's ability to access your existing email as well as better web browsing and paging via email. Maybe this won't be irrestistable but maybe the next one or the one after will be. I remember the Tandy Model 100 sig on CIS and how over the years it went from an active bunch of programmers, users and engineers to a few old guys sitting around talking about the glory of the days of old. But not till a number of years after they stopped making them. What do y'all think about this? Is it likely? If so, how far away is it? If not, why not? Are we going to own ancient hobby machines? Or will there be enough new software and gadgets to keep it going for a long time? Well, enough gloom for today.

The original IBM PC card was text only monochrome, called MDA or (I think) Monochrome Display Adapter. When there was some demand for color they developed CGA which I suppose is Color Graphics Adapter. The two adapters work very differently, even using different memory address for their screen memory so that you could have both in the machine and have 2 monitors. Just guessing but I think the 200lx was probably the first PC to offer both adapters for the same screen. A lot of software (I don't know if this includes WP) can be set to monochrome mode meaning that it won't display in colors even though it uses cga. Thats to avoid problems with cga monitors that display colors as shades of gray or green or amber or whatever the color of the monitor. The early Compaqs all did this as did a few other early PC's. When they do that it's still cga, but they only use the darkest and brightest color for the greatest contrast. And sometimes an intermediate color for normal text and the brightest for highlighting. But if WP gives you underlining, it's not in CGA (unless it's in graphics mode). More likely it's using MDA since early graphics mode wasn't that easy to read text in.

Divide the market for 200s into 4 groups: (a) DITW (Dyed-In-The-Wool) 200 Users (b) Serious Users (c) Supplemental Users (d) Technology Frontiers-people I won't waste time, or ink, arguing about whether these categories are exclusive and exhaustive.

This group will slowly shrink, but only at the rate caused by the death of its members, so unless some terrible disease ends up being carried by the 200 itself, there will be 200 users for a good long time yet. The (b) group is apparently populated by people for whom the 200 is a `major' computational instrument in their lives. For some of these people it _is_ their `laptop'. For others, it may truly be their _only_ serious computer. I don't know much about who these folks are, but they can speak for themselves. I can say that I don't expect their number to _increase_ at all, but rather to slowly decline as other alternatives become more adequate and much cheaper. I'm one of the members of the (c) group. I like my 200, but reserve it for a few data capture tasks and as an electronic appointment/phone book. I sync my PCMCIA card with my other six computers most days, certainly at least twice a week. I like having the _option_ to lapse into APL or J and do some calculation when I am sitting on the subway, but I rarely make use of it (I don't think I have, for example, so far this millennium). This group may increase, slightly, in size, but I would expect that any such increase would largely be from (b) group people dropping out of the (b) group. Some of the (c) group members occasionally drop out to Palm or CE machines, but often find the alternatives so _terrible_ that they return. I have made that particular journey myself---a couple of times. The (d) folks have been here and have already gone. They aren't coming back. So, the prospects for the future are, IMO, mixed. If you're looking for long life, I'd say things look good. If you're looking for things new and interesting, I'd say things look bad. Indeed, the _serious_ competition to the 200, at least for me, will not come from WinCE, or Palm, but rather from Nokia or Motorola. As things stand, I am _absolutely committed_ by forces of nature to carry my cellophane. So far I have found the (US) implementation of Phone Supplemental Facilities ridiculous, and thus I now carry both my 200 and my Cel, but comes the day that I can get a decent Cel with decent non-Cel facilities I will likely make my (last) journey out of the (c)-gang... ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 15 Apr 2000 10:36:40 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , lfast@NATIVELAW.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Lawrence Fast Subject: Printing from Software Carousel - list of favourites MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Can anyone on the list provide guidance on how to setup Software Carousel to print through the HP serial cable?

I'm a retired programmer and I now kind of play around with programming. I use a laptop sometimes, a Palm sometimes and the 200lx sometimes. I don't want to sit at a desk and program so it has to be something portable. I know dos best and I know c and asm and that makes the 200 pretty much my main toy. If I end up as the last person using one I'll enjoy using it as much as I do now. I have all the software I'll ever need for it and I have 3 200lx's, a 100lx and 2 95lx's. Probably a lifetime supply. But I'd miss the discussing it with other knowlegable people, and especially this group, since I've been discussing it with a lot of this group for years, here and before this, on CIS. I think I enjoy this as much as I enjoy the 200lx. I agree that there's nothing that can quite replace it but I suspect that will change with time and as technology changes what is practical. I think you're also right about the phones changing everything. They're already turning into pdas and in a few years most people will feel the need to carry one. I've just decided to get a cellular phone. I live in the country and if my car broke down 20 miles from anything (entirely possible where I live) I'd have a serious problem. I'm not able to walk 20 miles now. So now I have to decide whether to carry a PDA or a phone when I'm out and around. I'd hate carrying both. I don't know what I'll do yet. The 200lx will continue to do what it does very well, but I wonder if what it does will continue to be useful.

I once thought I belong to (a), but by your definition I am really a (b). I have been on the verge of getting myself a Palm Vx, after seen first hand how outstandingly easy to read the screen really is (better than a laptop IMHO). But after inmersing myself into palm web sites and newsgroups, a picture emerges of a device that is not yet ready to do everything I need as well as I do it on my HP200LX. 1- Bugs are still being worked on the more powerful applications (InfoSelect notes cannot be larger than 4k, as opposed to 32k on my palmtop. The music programs cannot handle more than 4 voices. The Bible programs don't do much yet. The other outliners cause a number of problems with backing up. And on and on) 2-It is very easy to lose all or much of your data on a palm (the hotsync issue plus the lack of a real backup battery. The thingy that holds power while you change bateries is prone to fail). Backup Buddy is supposed to help, but I still read the complaints. 3-The Trgpro, the only palm device designed to use a flash card, will run down on batteries if the card is used too regularly (they say that several times a day of use will take your batteries down to 2 weeks of use. I access my cp flash card daily and still get 6 to 8 weeks of battery life on my hplx). And programs still don't run from the card (that's supposed to change in may). 4-The thing is so cute, but so fragile! Yes, even the Palm v with its aluminum case. I think there ought to be a way to make it stronger. 5-I though a palm would not have hinge cracks problems, but it does have stylus receptacle crack problems! (at least the plastic palms). So why look at a palm? Small, long battery life, very small size, and backlight!!! While no hplx backlight will ever touch the palm Vx screen, it will certainly greatly diminish my cravings for another device. Enough ranting. We know the Hp200LX will last forever . . . not. 8=( Domingo ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 16 Apr 2000 00:07:23 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Larry J.

How is this possible? This would be very helpful, but I read in the manual about subsets and couldn't find anything about such a setting. Do I have to use a SSL command for this? The only way I could do this you described above is to press F7 (sort) and modify the sort criteria. This allows to let the DB sort the 1st or the 2nd coloumn, but does not allow to exchange 1st and 2nd Coloumn. For this operation I had to press F8 (coloumn).

I see so many people who confuse productivity with "sexiness" - they think that if the tool is shiny and sleek, their productivity is up! On the plane from JFK to LAX today, my neighbour sported a Wince 680. He told me he used the 200LX before. He told me that his WinCE runs circles around the >00LX, that his chip is faster bla bla bla... Finally I asked him to devise three tests, and compare. He thought it was a great idea. I beat him on all three tests with a huge margin. Then I just stuck the second 200LX I have right in his shirt pocket :-) -- He smiled and said he got all four points! Then we talked about the literally hundreds of program I have on my machine. We spoke about battery life, about usability, about many things. Almost all around he concluded the 200LX was still champ! The real hurting point for him was that he knew something was wrong with his productivity - it has declined since the WinCE. Duh! BTW: He was frantically replacing batteries somewhere over Somewhere, USA, while I was still chugging along on my NiMH. Am using them right now too, 2.62V. Avi M.

To stop SysMgr from interfering with the serial port, run the app from an icon (AppMgr), and in the comments area of that icon enter an upside down exclamation mark. - To enter an upside down exclamation mark, press Fn-Filer (or Fn-!). - Note that when youuse this mechanism, you will also not be able to switch to any other app under SysMgr.

I've got to agree with this. We're an international group, and folks who write in English as a second (or third or fourth) language post messages much easier to read than "Hobchi-speak".

One candidate has been a contiguous swap file on a RAM drive like the palmtop's C: drive. Another option has been swapping to the simulated EMS provided by drivers like Tremm. Until recently, I have generally used a contiguous disk file on my 32 Meg C: drive. I use some DOS programs that take up huge amounts of EMS if it is available. Thus, they would tend to leave too little available for SC if I used EMS for my swap space. Recently my palmtop had to be repaired, which erased all of the data. Since I was reinstalling everything anyway, I decided to try a new approach. I set up a large EMS file with Tremm. Then I rebooted and opened all of my SC sessions once to mark all of the EMS SC needed as used. Then when I ran one of my EMS hungry programs, it was only able to use what was left over from SC. This way, I don't run out of swap space as I had before. After all of this, I don't see a speed difference. On my system, a contiguous swap file is just as fast as EMS swap space. In each case, swap time is about one second for a 500+ K SC session in most cases. The only exception is the first swap after I turn the palmtop on. That first swap takes about 3 seconds and each swap after that is 1 second until I turn the palmtop off again. Then the pattern repeats. One key point when comparing swap times to ensure that the SC disk file is contiguous. You have to run the optimize.exe program that came with SC first before you have SC create its swap file. A non-contiguous swap file is slower than either option mentioned above. You can confirm that the swap file is contiguous by running d:\dos\chkdsk on the file. First you have to use d:\dos\attrib to remove the hidden attribute from the swap file. Then run chkdsk with the file name after it like: attrib -r -h -s ~carosel.tmp chkdsk ~carosel.tmp BTW, my system is a 32Meg DS palmtop. The swap file and EMS file were both created on the 32 Meg drive.

In short, yes the HP200LX will fade out eventually. I don't think it will be soon however. I plan to be using mine for another 5 years or so. As a bit of perspective, the first computer I ever purchased was an Apple IIgs in 1985 or so. I used it exclusively as my desktop machine until around 1995. I got a 95LX palmtop around 1993 and got my first DS 200LX around 1996. Given my history of 10 years per useful computer system, another 5 years for my 200LX seems about right. My point is that if a computer does what you need, then you don't have to give it up to buy something new. Use it until it doesn't serve your needs, then look for a better option.

Also it syncs with my mailbox, contacts, tasks. But it is no replacement for the lx200. It is kind of difficult to write on it, and the screen is a bit difficult to view long messages. There is no database on it either. I would like to see a 200lx running linux with a faster processor and more memory maybe. And a way to sync from a desktop to the lx. I meet so many people who look at my 200lx and say that is old and that they have a palm. I just ask them if they can do email, usually they say when they are connected to their desktop. Then I ask them if they can browse the web, or connect via irda through a webphone to the internet ? They usually hang their head and say no, no, no. A couple of weeks ago I was in NY checking my mail with my lx200 preparing presentation notes on it etc. Others were carring around laptops to do that with.

There was no current flowing. Maybe there is already a protection diode built in my unit. Maybe there are differences in the units that have been produced. Or my unit was modified, when they made the RAM upgrade, who knows. I could look inside, but when I had to open it once, (I had to repair a dislocated hinge) it was so difficult to put everything in its place again, that measuring is enough challenge for me now. For _my_ palmtop I am pretty sure, that it is not altered by a wrong polarity power supply. regards, Werner Am 14 Apr 2000, um 23:45, schrieb Automatic digest processor ueber "HPLX-L Digest - 13 Apr 2000 to 14 Apr 2000 - Spec": > Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2000 20:13:16 -0700 > From: Mark Willis > Subject: Re: reversed polarity was: power supply > > About the only solution is to add a power diode between the HP's power > input jack and motherboard, in series with the correct enamelled wire > that's already there - so, if you plug in a backwards power supply, you > don't see any power coming from the plug to the HP.

First, there is a general issue of whether the text to be edited is assumed to fit in memory while it is being edited. Indeed, until relatively recently in our computational history there was a very substantial distinction between assuming that the text would fit into a single data structure within memory or not. When I started writing code for computers, 64K was a lot of memory, and data structures were often limited to 16K or 32K (note, please, I _do_ indeed mean K, here, not M). You could, of course, handle files of arbitrary size even in these early days, but that required regularly moving data into and out of memory, and that was sometimes a rather time consuming operation. So this points to the second reason, and interaction between implementation language the kind of things that it makes it easy to do. I grew up in an age when lots of character processing was done in FORTRAN. Suffice it to say that FORTRAN didn't have any particular facilities that would make handling text easy. Early editors were often implemented in Basic, and in that world simple tasks like reforming a paragraph might involve a whole bunch of LEFT$ and RIGHT$ operations to pull words off one line and add them to the next. Third, there can be a strong interaction between the internal data representations chosen for text and the kind of facilities that this makes available to the users. For example, I continue to use a particular editor that I bought from one of IBM's first retail stores (on 5th Ave, NYC) in the early 80s. It makes moving rectangular `blocks' of text around very easy. It happens to do this by internally treating every line as though it were 256 characters long. This makes operations on rectangular blocks easy, but imposes a _severe_ limitation on the text that can be handled. In most cases this is a price I am happy to pay, so I generally use this editor, and drop into EMacs whenever I need to deal with a file with extra long lines, or of extra huge size. So I guess the point is that program design, like any other `economic' activity involves trading off how much work you have to do, how much time it takes to do it and what it all ends up by doing to the user. Admittedly, as my `cheap' machine now has 380Meg of Ram and 30Gb of Hard disk, it seems funny for an editor to say `out of memory' when handling a file of a few megabytes, but when this happens one might look back and realize that most editors now in use were designed and implemented when technology involved very different cost structures. All-in-all my 20yr old editor stands up pretty well in day-to-day use, and I know that it continues to be used by a whole bunch of my colleagues, who have been happy with it in the 80s and 90s as they were with TECO in the 60s and 70s. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 16 Apr 2000 20:41:28 CDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Larry N Zimmerman Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Larry N Zimmerman Subject: Acoustic Coupler Has anyone here had experience with the Konexx 204 acoustic coupler?

I find the keyboard entry faster on the 200lx than the Grafitti on the Palm. More so when I'm in a hurry. I seem to screw up Grafitti badly when I get in a hurry. So instead I usually write things freehand in TealPaint and then enter them in Grafitti later.

A few of the smaller ones limit the filesize to what can be done in a single memory segment. I don't want to get into a long explanation of segments but basically the dos cpu's can be thought of as a lot of 64k segments. Anything larger than a segment is a little harder and slower to deal with. Most editors accept the segment difficulties but use available memory as a limit. At any given time you have nearly instant access to the text in memory and a little slower access to the text on disk, assuming that the file is bigger than available memory. You can't see text or scroll through it until it's in the program's memory. If the file is partly on disk, and you're scrolling through it quickly, it's tricky to keep up with the user and not make him wait for more data to load. Especially on older, slower computers. And especially if he keeps on scrolling. How much data to load? If it's not enough and he keeps scrolling he'll have to wait some more. If it's a lot and he starts scrolling backwards he'll have to wait some more. This is just an example of some of the problems that come from having files larger than available memory. It can get pretty tricky and slow things down. And all of the memory can't be allocated to text. Some has to be used for copy buffers. Some has to be used for keeping information internally on what the program is doing. Some has to be used to store undo information. Generally less than half the available memory is used for text, about the same amount for copy buffers, and the rest is used internally by the program. In windows I think most editors avoid that problem by allocating as much memory as is needed for any given file, whether that memory is available or not. The OS, with the help of some special hardware in the cpu, will handle swapping and paging to disk pretty efficiently, effectively using disk as additional memory without the program ever knowing about it. But that's still much slower than having it all in actual memory. Dos doesn't support file swapping and paging and neither does the cpu in dos. So the program is on it's own. Also in the early days of PC's a really large file was pretty unusual. They came along but not that often. I think Dos's edit will handle files of any size but I'm not sure of that. I do know dos's edlin will handle files of any size. Or at least any size you could get on a disk in the days when edlin was in use. A dramatic example of this was when I used WordPerfect on a Data General minicomputer with about 32 meg of ram divided among about 400 users. I occasionally had to load a 40 or 50 meg file into WP and if the system was getting a lot of use by a lot of users that could take 2 hours. Then, if I was forgetful and hit end down to go to the bottom of the document, it took another 2 hours. A text search could take longer. When the system wasn't being used that much it would still take 15 minutes or more. But early in the morning or late at night when I was the only one on the system and I had all the memory available to me, it could do it in less than a minute.

Just print out of an appllication as you didn't use Software Carousel. I've made a batch file PRINT.BAT that does the following: * if called WITH a file name of a text file to print as parameter: 1. it calls SETCOM1.COM (by Stefan Peichl: peichl.hplx.net), which sets the COM port to a special mode (in my case: 115200,n,8,1,wired - you can let SETCOM1 set your serial port to whatever you need for your serial -> parallel converter) 2. It copies the given file to COM1 to print it. 3. It sets the COM port via SETCOM1 to off (for power saving). * if called without parameter: it only performs step 1 of the above (i.e. Sets the COM port). After that I can start an application I want to print from, or I can run PRINT.BAT from a DOS shell from out of the program I want to print from, and then I can let the app. print to either PRN, COM1 or LPT1 (all are hardware-redirected to COM1 in the palmtop).

Aside: I am told that using a US Calling Card can be a costly experience overseas, and was recommended to purchase a local calling card when I arrive.

Well, thanks--I'll go ahead and write something since you seem to have some degree of confidence it would be worthwhile. :) I had started to write a reply and then changed my mind.

I believe the HP200LX and its currently available software is best described as mature. Just because contemporary commercial software developers continually crank out updates doesn't mean that approach is required for getting everyone's job done. I use a pentium desktop with Win95 at work, but on the road I rely exclusively on my LX. Granted, I can't generate complex data collection forms in Corel Draw on my LX, but I can do a tolerable job of just about everything else, and the graphics work can wait until I get back to the office. Bottom line, my 200LX currently does everything I want it to. Barry's point regarding protocol changes is valid--when LXTCP stops working with current protocols we'll have some work to do. We have the source, though. And I bet that would be a project Rod would be willing to offer help on, if not actively support. Anyway, my 200LX is my main computer and I don't see that changing for several years at least. Ted -- Theodore W.

There have been two occasions when I've demo'd my 200LX to someone who's said, "Stop! I want one. Where do I get it". I had to admit that although they could buy one, it would cost about $1500 and quite a bit of messing around to bring it to the spec of the one they'd just seen - RAM upgrade, doublespeed, largeish CF card, and tons of commercial software. Plus, the ease of use we take for granted, built on years of familiarity and piecemeal expansion. I'm not sure I'd want to be competing against a stock 680 using a stock 200. Just playing the devil's advocate here, because you know I agree with every word you've written. :-) OK, two points... ;-) Of course the 200LX will die, nothing lasts forever. 200LX =3D The Great Pyramid at El Giza WinCE =3D The Millennium Dome at Grenwich I think it helps to be English to understand that. ---------- Chris Randle (chris@amlog.demon.co.uk) On Sun, 16 Apr 2000, A Meshar wrote: > On the plane from JFK to LAX today, my neighbour sported a > Wince 680.

I beat him on all three tests with a huge margin. All right! Way to go, Avi. So what were the tests? I got a Jornada 680 a few months ago, and it's definitely no replacement for my 200LX. However, it makes an excellent COMPANION to the 200LX. With both of them together, I can do most everything I want -- serious business like word processing, finances, spreadsheets, time tracking, reference materials, reading e-texts , etc. on the 200LX, and stuff like wireless internet access, secure communications, and other applications (like Pocket Streets) on the J680. It makes an excellent complement to the 200LX ... even though the battery doesn't last nearly as long. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2000 18:39:45 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , A Meshar Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Meshar Subject: Re: Road(Air) warrior advice sought Comments: To: MCHEM1@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Albert Kind wrote: > I'm usually on-line ~30min a day managing this list among other > activities...mostly EMail. > > Is CIS a viable option in both locals?

X-Finder vs. TransFile Win200? Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Earlier, I asked about establishing a serial connection between 200LX and desktop PC at baud rates higher than 57.6k. Several people suggested trying X-Finder instead of TransFile Win200. -- by the way, thanks for extolling the the many other virtues of X-Finder. I've begun using it, and I like it quite a lot. Unfortunately, my X-Finder transfer rates (real throughput) are SLOWER than TransFile Win200, even though the baud rate is supposedly double (115200 vs. 57600). What kind of transfer rates do you see? I'm concerned with REAL THROUGHPUT -- true bytes/second moved between the machines. You never reach 100% of the link speed due to protocol overhead, but what I'm seeing just doesn't make sense. With TransFile set to 57600 bps (max link speed of 5.625KB/s at theoretical Ýunachievable¨ 100% efficiency), I get about 2.82KB/s real throughput, or ~50% of link speed. With X-Finder set to 115200 bps, Wide or Ultra mode, and Halfrate OFF (max link speed of 11.25KB/s at theoretical Ýunachievable¨ 100% efficiency), I get only 1.39KB/s throughput, or ~12% of link speed! Typically, file transfer protocols like this suffer further efficiency degradation when transferring large numbers of small files. There is simply more overhead involved to "set up" prior to transferring each file. So to remove this overhead, I test transferred a single 38,460 byte file using both TransFile Win200, and X-Finder. All tests were conducted with the palmtop plugged in, and ONLY Filer or X-Finder (as appropriate) running during the test. All tests were multiple times; "elapsed time" represents the average runtime. X-Finder and XFS were both in "Wide or Ultra" mode, with Half speed OFF. I'm using the official HP serial cable that shipped with the 200LX ConnPack. Here are the test details: Copy single file, file size 39,460: link elapsed effective protocol speed time throughput efficiency (bps) (sec) (KB/s) (%link speed) ------- ------- ---------- ------------- TransFile 57,600 12 3.13KB/s ~50% X-Finder 115,200 27 1.39KB/s ~12% Note that these figures are consistent with respect to what I see on a longer copy operation -- say backing up the palmtop's C: drive to the desktop PC. Of course, efficiency is slightly reduced when measuring across several files, as opposed to measuring throughput on one file start to finish. Is the protocol used by X-Finder + XFS inherently less efficient than that used by Filer and Connectivity Pack (and TransFile)? Do I have a setup problem? Other Notes ----------- I'm running WinNT 4.0 (service pack 6) on a dual processor PIII-550. XFS and TransFile thus run emulated within NT. I've played with all the "DOS box settings" to try and get XFS running faster, but to no avail. I've even altered the task priority for XFS, but that also does not affect the throughput. On the palmtop, X-Finder is installed in A:\FINDER, where A: is a ÝSTACKED!¨ 20M flash disk (official HP/SanDisk). (The file copied resided on the palmtop's C: drive, and was copied to the desktop's C: drive. Neither of those C: drives is compressed. The desktop machine was doing nothing else during transfers.) ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2000 23:25:01 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , hpstaber@COMPUSERVE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Hans Peter Staber Subject: Re: Filtering mail in WWW/LX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit > > Does WWW/LX - Post have any way to filter/redirect incoming email?

If you use the larger jack for the small plug this may cause the trouble. In case your jack is o.k. and there is current from the power supply (do you have a volt meter?) you could open the HP/LX and look inside whats wrong. (I did it myself once, but it is an adventure). Backup your palmtop first. Take out all batteries. You have to remove the four rubber feet on the bottom and in the holes you find torx screews. you need a special screwdriver for them. (I took my Palmtop and went to a store for tools to find the right one). Then you can take off the bottom part (easy to write here, but be very careful!) and look inside, maybe you can find the cause. The plug is connected to the mainboard with thin wires, maybe you have to solder a connection or the plug is broken - then you have to find a new one (electronics store) Look at this page before you start: http://www.hplx.net/hardware.apa.big.html good luck, Werner On 18 Apr 2000, at 5:16, Automatic digest processor wrote: > Date: Tue, 18 Apr 2000 05:16:58 +0200 > From: Nathalie Bugeaud > Subject: loose power plug (female) > > I'm finally settled and connected at my new apartment (for anyone > waiting for e-mail from me).

I just called Westin Grand Hotel and they said, they have 'regular Western connectors', I think, in USA they are called RJ11. It should be compatible to US modems. If it's not, your friend could buy a cheap German modem or maybe I could lend your friend one. We now have in Germany many ISPs that don't need any subscriprion, such as MobilCom Freenet. But all these ISPs have telephone numbers beginning with '010' (E.g. Freenet has 01019-01929). And from the hotel all numbers beginning with 010 are blocked. :-( So your friend has to find an ISP, such as AOL, that's number doesn't begin with 010. AOL's number begins with 019 (I don't know the rest). The costs are pretty cheap for these 010... ISPs (0.033 DM per minute up to abt. 0.06 DM per min). I don't know about the costs of 019... ISPs, e.g. AOL. He can receive email by using his normal POP server (university). Maybe he will not be able to send email, because much SMTP servers don't allow someone connected to another network than the SMTP server's network to use SMTP. If this is the case, you could use a free email service such as GMX, Iname, Hotmail etc. They even allow sending email from 'foreign' networks. In many cases you have to set 'SMTP after POP', i.e. The software has to do the POP session before the SMTP sesssion (default is vice cersa) fur authentication. > - He will also stay in a private residence in Hamburg for a few > days and the same question as above.

They just need a common browser and dialer, and in most casts, you even don't have to use a special login or password. But since they are reachable by special net numbers (01019 01929 is not a common telephone number!), they are probably not reachable from USA (did you try to dial a +49 before the net number and leaving the first zero away?)

And when you're done it leaves you feeling proud of having found such clever combinations to save keystrokes. It makes text editing as playing Sokoban. :) I do agree it's not worth learning to edit autoexec.bat, if that's all you do. So maybe it's only worthwhile to learn for programmers. A good alternative with a much more gentle learning curve is Qedit, now known as TSE Jr. It's probably more powerful than vi. Although you need a few more keystrokes to use it than you do with vi, you still need fewer for most things than with most editors. Qedit has been my pc editor for about 10 or 15 years.

HiJaak and its variations (HiJaak Graphics Suite, HiJaak Pro) are graphics conversion programs. There were DOS versions long ago, but all are Win32 now I believe.

However, my subjective impression is that transfers with X-Finder are substantially faster (maybe 1.5 times) than with Zip (which I used formerly). I have never tried Transfile. I typically run XFS in DOS 3.3 on my antique 8088 cpu Toshiba 1200HB laptop, which has found new life as a file server/backup/testbed/accessory to my 200LX. I also occasionally run XFS on a co-worker's Compaq Presario with a Pentium III running NT 4.0. Oddly, transfers to the Toshiba's 20 Mb hard drive appear to be slightly faster than those to the Compaq's (2 Gb?) hard drive. It's still quite fast and perfectly useful, but it makes me wonder if something about NT slows down the process. By the way, my experiences are with the older version of XFS, not the newer one now available as part of the latest Beta distribution.

I just ran a couple of quick tests of XF/XFS. Used a file of 133933 bytes. Copying from palmtop to laptop (Win98) took 20 seconds for real throughput of 6,697 bytes/Sec (not counting time to confirm the copy command). Going the other way (laptop to palmtop (drive a:) took only 17 seconds, for throughput of 7,878 bytes/Sec. Don't have Transfile so can't run a comparison, but the speed I get with XF/XFS seems pretty good to me, so I don't think the transfer protocol is inefficient. The palmtop is an 8MB dbl speed unit. The laptop has a 433MHz Celeron. At a guess, the problem may be the WinNT DOS emulation. How do other XF users results compare?

In the UK, you need a power adapter plug. If you can't find one in the US, buy one on Heathrow Airport when you arrive. Voltage is 240V. In many hotels you can unplug the phone cord from the phone and use the RJ-11 plug but you are on the safe side if you buy a UK phone adapter plug. I've seen them at Radio Shack in the US. In Italy, there is no national call number for CompuServe. You need to "Go Phones" before you leave and get the access numbers. If I remember correctly, many of them are through other networks and you need appropriate scripts (also take note of the surcharges). In Italy, you need both a power plug adapter (230-240V) and phone plug adapter (a monstrous plug, not easy to find). Re. calling cards: for calls inside the country, local calling cards are usually the cheapest bet. However, in many countries you mostly get chip cards for pay phones, not calling cards for 800 numbers that could be used in hotels. Hotel phone rates are outrageous and local calls are almost always clocked, not flat rate, so calling CompuServe for 30 mins can cost you a bundle. For calls into the US, you might want to look at some special calling card providers in the US for that purpose. AT&T and MCI calling card prices are usually sky-high from Europe.

Then you can simply perform any necessary actions on the content of that folder :-) ... I and not a native speaker of English, although have spoken it for almost 50 years.

So the work you do has two distinct natures: deskbound and mobile. The 200LX does all you need in the mobile arena.

All my 200lx's are just the way I bought them, with the exception of a flash card in each. I don't fully trust the speed upgrade since I'd like these to last the rest of my retirement. The extra ram would be nice but not really necessary and a large flash card is so much cheaper. I'm sure no expert on the WinCE machines but I've played with them a little and talked with others who have them. I don't think they're much competition for the stock 200lx unless you care about the multimedia. Which I don't. I do have a Palm and I can compare that with the stock lx and the lx wins hands down on everything except size and weight.

I have to put in a vote for Epsilon from Lugaru (http://www.lugaru.com) It's an emacs clone, but a LOT faster and it's just as extensible (it's extension language is very like c). The latest version comes in 7 flavours: Linux (X and console), Free BSD (ditto), Win32 GUI, Win32 console, OS/2, Win16, and DOS (8-bit DOS too). I run it on my HP200 (just managed to keep this on topic!), although I've not upgraded the HP from version 9.02 yet. In all its flavours except DOS it does telnet/ftp/http as well as _lots_ of programmer things and plain old text editing. And yes, it does do regular expression search and replace (across multiple files, loaded or not, also specified with regular expressions) Mike -- Share what you know. Learn what you don't.

I had trouble with the ram upgrade price too but I finally went ahead and bought a 32Meg (Single Speed!) new 200LX from Thadeus last summer. Besides letting me keep previous stock 4Meg 200lx as a backup, the change to a 32Meg C: drive was a BIG enhancement over the 3.3Meg C: and the 10Meg flash card that was required to hold the overflow.

I've been using Turbo C 2.0. It works fine and is fast. A few months ago I put Turbo C++ 1.0 (or 1.5, I forget) on the palmtop to try it out. I don't care about oop but I like the // comments. It's a little slower but its not bad. I haven't decided which to go with yet. I've also tried Borland C++ 2.0 out of curiousity. It works but it's slower yet. Not so slow that it's unusable but slow enough that I wouldn't choose to use it while the faster ones are there. By the way, I don't use the IDE with any of these. I don't even have it installed. I only use the command line tools and I use my own editor. (qedit). So if you intend to use an IDE you might find it slower. The IDE isn't as valuable on the palmtop as on a PC. The debugger is fairly useless. It crashes too often to be useful. The only symbolic debugger I've found to be usable on the palmtop is Microsoft's Symdeb. It's a pretty good fit. It even handles CGA graphic switches very gracefully. And if you use the right switches you can use it for minimal source level debugging.

The hotel may be preselected to one of the 010.. providers, then the ISP, using this provider should work without predialing the 010.. The same problem exists with mobile phones. None of the four German GSM providers allows numbers starting with 010.., hence you cannot use the free ISPs on your mobile phone. With mobile phones, you only have access to the big ISPs like AOL, T-Online, Compuserve. Each GSM provider has it's own and expensive dialin numbers for these Internet providers. The whole thing is still very complicated and you need to be an expert to find your way through. During a vacation in France a few month ago I ended up with international calls to Germany to access my German ISP. Nothing else worked :-( Internet with mobile phones across different countries is a modern adventure!

The SCM Microsystems unit is now in my Pentium III running Windows 98 and the Databook unit is in my wife's Pentium II running Windows 95. The Databook can accomodate up to two type II cards or one type III and it has activity lights for each socket. The SCM Microsystems adapter has no lights on the front panel but it can accomodate up to two type II cards or one type II and one type III. These units are still seeing daily use, several years after I bought them. What can go wrong with them? They're mostly solid-state electronics. Almost everything I have tried in them has worked: RAM cards, ATA Flash (actually Compact Flash in adapters), SCSI host adapters, Modems, ethernet cards, combination ethernet/Modem cards, and my Nikon Coolpix 100 camera. The single exception has been older linear flash cards (readable without problems in HP 95LX/100LX/200LX and readable and writable in Apple Newtons). The SCM Microsystems unit was chosen because it showed up on the Microsoft Hardware Compatibility Lists (HCL) for both Windows 95 and Windows NT, so I figured the software support would continue.

I seemed to miss some postings in the thread, s= o I'm answering to this one. The original problem was finding a provider in Germany which works from everywhere? Here it is: Dellnet is a 'real' free provider as you dial a normal number (it has pop= s in all big cities, ~70 in Germany) and just pay the price for the call (n= ot for the internet itself). As these are normal numbers, you can dial in fr= om everywhere. It depends on having the right number if you pay for a long distance call or for a local call, but it works with each of these number= s.

A colleague of mine travels a lot, he hasn't find any hotel which allows these numbers. The reason is that most of the hotels can't bill the calls via alternative phone providers. But dial in via Dellnet should always be possible (except from 9 pm to 9:15 pm, as the cheap local calls start in Germany). > With mobile phones, you only have access to the big ISPs like > AOL, T-Online, Compuserve.

This in partially true, you can use dellnet from your mobile phone and pa= y the city call rate (15 pf/min at the moment).

Most graphics programs won't deal with 123 .PICs because the 123 format stores object and parameter data (and in their own proprietary format) while graphics program USUALLY expect a PIC file to have a different layout dealing with data at the pixel level. 123 (and any real 123/PIC convertors), must literally read the 123 PIC data and redraw the image. If Hijaak works for 123 PICs, then it's because someone there made a special effort for 123 ... not surprising given that 123 PICs were once the only game in town ... long ago. - Longden Mike Melancon on 04/19/2000 06:03:46 AM Please respond to melancon@microgear.net To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: Re: PIC graphics format by Lotus 123 Hijaak (commercial program) does convert from lotus 123 pic to tiff files.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Avi makes some great points and I often relate the same sort of plusses and minuses to my other technology decisions. But first I have a question: How many of you can actually fit the 200LX in your shirt pockets? It does not fit in mine, even when I remove my pens. Now on to the parallel... I have a neat little digital camera; the Nikon Coolpix 100 (if you want to see more about it, look at my camera page http://web.raex.com/~striegel/Camera). It's only capable of 512 x 480 resolution and has limited storage built in, so I keep considering the newer cameras on the market to replace it. Every time I find I have almost decided to make the buy, some compromised features keep me holding onto the Coolpix 100. I want higher resolution and the ability to store images on Compact Flash or the IBM Microdrive but these new cameras never have battery life to even come near what I'm used to (5-6 months on 4 alkaline AA's). And if they can use the convenience of commonly-available AA cells, they often seem to be too large to carry around everywhere, as I do with this camera. So I'm still waiting for technology to catch up. On an entirely different point, the pins in the serial port opening used to worry me and years ago, when I had a 95LX, I used a soft plastic plug, taken from the end of a tube of integrated circuit DIPs, to fill it when I carried it in my pocket. I haven't used one for several years with my 100LX and now 200LX and I have never bent a single pin.

Yes! Unfortunately, both NiCd and NiMH suffer from gradual voltage depression and loss of capacity if repetitively partially discharged, then recharged. This is somewhat different from what used to be called "memory". Capacity can be restored by discharging to 1V per cell, or lower, then fully charging. If anybody wants to hear it from the horse's mouth, I'll dig out my copy of the Panasonic NiMH Technical Manual. The difference between NiCd and NiMH for loss of capacity is that it usually happens slower with NiMH. I get about 6-8 months in the palmtop before the decrease bothers me. YMMV.

Both date from the "Golden Age of Software" and both seem to have lived on well beyond their rivals of ten years ago. Framework appears to have been taken over by an aficionado and is still very much alive and well. See the Framework website at www.framework.com. They even have a 200LX version of which I would be most interested in obtaining an independent evaluation. If anyone on the list is using the Framework V palmtop version, please let us know how it works. GrandView was never really comfortable in any one software category. It was sold as a PIM because it does have a number of significant PIM like qualities - listing to-dos by date and category, etc. However, it is as an outliner, project manager, and idea organizer that I use GrandView. I tend to think of the world through the metaphor of roots and branches and outlining is superb for those of us having that type of mental "hard wiring". I still use Framework because an anthropologist that I work with has been addicted to Framework for about fifteen years and I need to read her materials. Framework is superior to GrandView in creating finished documents. GrandView, at least for me, is much quicker and more intuitive down where the fingertips meet the keyboard. I much prefer to organize and then reorganize blocks of text into a coherent whole through GrandView than through Framework. Fine polishing of GrandView created and organized materials is relatively easy. Simply export everything into a WordPerfect 5.1 file using the GrandView export command. The resultant file can then easily be read by almost all Win word processors as well as WordPerfect 5.1. There appears to be a rebirth of interest in outliners recently. See www.outliners.com. Many seem to be calling for a porting of GrandView to the Windows platform. However, nothing compares to easy portability and GrandView on the 200LX still wins that particular competition. A heavy laptop tends to spoil the effect of the book of verses, the wine, etc. Larry Fast ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2000 19:26:52 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Barry Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Barry Subject: Picfiles MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <<<<>>>>> I just found an old version of Graphic Workshop and it does have a pic file but it's not Lotus's so it won't help.

The point about open source software is not whether I will be around to help out, but that you have the source code, so you always have the option of paying someone else to do it. If it's important enough for you that you'll pay lots of money, then I'm sure there are lots of programmers who will do the work for you (just look at all the people making money fixing Y2K problems in Cobol programs). Or you'll do the self-training so that you can fix it yourself. LXTCP didn't materialise out of thin air. It is based on a TCP/IP stack which is over 10 years old. Some would consider WatTCP to be dead, but Stephen Lawson proved last year that you can still get at least four or five developers together to fix a problem or add a feature (in this case it was DHCP). -- Rod Whitby - rwhitby@hplx.net - http://rwhitby.hplx.net -- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2000 14:06:41 +0930 Reply-To: rwhitby@asc.corp.mot.com Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Rod Whitby Subject: Re: LXgFTP version 0.91 released Mike Kopplin writes: > Version 0.91 of LXgFTP, the graphical FTP client, is now available at > > http://www.technoir.nu/hplx/lxgftp.htm So Mike, are you going to release the source code to LXgFTP ? -- Rod Whitby - rwhitby@hplx.net - http://rwhitby.hplx.net -- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2000 21:06:33 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , geologist@MINDSPRING.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "William E.

HPCalc (Solver mainly when my HP48GX is not handy) Minifax LXPic (great for use with my Digital Photos on CF Card) LXGPS LXMap HPLX Database Defender of The Crown (great old game I bought in 1986) Rogue (it is not a real computer if it doesn't have this on it!) Golf (Cards not clubs, not pun intended) Great game, by the way.

I use it much, much more that I use my HP Omnibook 3000CTX anymore. I only use my desktop for those graphic intensive applications like Corel Draw, Picture Publisher, scanner apps to make maps for use with the 200LX and of course to make interesting labels for CDs I burn to hold all my 200LX software I've collected over the years. It is a shame HP can't find a suitable replacement for our pocket PCs. I had one of the WinCE devices and prompty sold it. It wasn't what I needed at all. This is progress?

I want higher resolution and the ability to store images on Compact Flash or the IBM Microdrive but these new cameras never have battery life to even come near what I'm used to (5-6 months on 4 alkaline AA's). And if they can use the convenience of commonly-available AA cells, they often seem to be too large to carry around everywhere, as I do with this camera. So I'm still waiting for technology to catch up.<<<<<<< I bought a Kodak DC280 a couple of months ago. It has both 1760x1168 and 1280x960 resolution. I nearly always use the lower resolution since I don't usually print the pictures and I can't tell the difference on the screen. It comes with a 32 meg Sandisk flash card (the box said 20 meg but it had a 32 meg inside). It saves in jpg files and the low res are about 100-250k and the high res are about 200-450k. So it holds a lot of pictures on one card. The card works fine in my PC compact flash reader and thats how I transfer the files, but it also has both serial and usb support built in. It's amazingly full of features and there is a lot of control. It has both physical and digatal zoom, closup, infinite focus, adjustable flash to compensate for tungsten bulbs or florescent bulbs (and this feature really makes a big difference), and more features than I can remember at the moment. It's also fairly small although there are smaller cameras. It is a little expensive but it's well worth it. Actually it's probably not as expensive as the Nikon. I can't tell you about battery life. I used Alkalines at first but after 4 or 5 pictures taken quickly in a row with alkaline the camera thinks the batteries are dead and you have to turn it off and back on to take pictures. That's because alkaline can't really handle a large draw. So I switched to NIMH, which doesn't have that problem, while the alkalines were pretty fresh. I've taken probably 60 or 100 pictures with the NIMH and it's still going strong on the first charge. It uses 4 batteries and comes with a set of Kodak NIMH batteries and a set of alkalines so you can use it while you're charging the NIMH. Lots and lots of attention to detail. I suggest looking into it.

Yeah, FW does let you collapse the levels. I think PC Outline did that as well.

Subdocument/Master Document A master document is a small, easy-to-edit file consisting of one or more subdocuments and interposed text. Subdocuments are inserted into a master document with a WordPerfect code and may be separated from the master document for editing purposes. Numbering and formatting codes may be inserted into either the master document or a subdocument and remain consistent throughout the master document. To create a master document, type text and include subdocuments in the file. Position the cursor where you would like a subdocument to be located, select Subdocument, and enter the subdocument's filename. You can expand and condense the master document using the Generate option on the Mark Text key. When you expand the master document, the subdocument is inserted at the code. When you condense the master document, you are given the opportunity to save any editing changes you made to the subdocument(s). In order to print the entire master document, you must expand it first. Steve P.S. I normally use the WordPerfect text editor ED.EXE, but have used vi when forced to. I find ED faster because I've learned how to use it and for simple things its more intuitive. Barry says vi uses less keystrokes, but thats not my experiance. Basicly you need to learn a good editor and use it enough to find out the short-cuts in it. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2000 07:27:22 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Longden_Loo@CANDLE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: GrandView, Framework and a Loaf of Bread Comments: To: lfast@NATIVELAW.COM Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii <> When I spoke to the developer a year or two ago, the 200LX version was mostly just a re-programming of 2 blue keys to simulate In/Out.

I probably use FW's spreadsheet more than it's outliner, and for that reason alone, I probably wouldn't switch to a plain outliner (no matter how good). Due to its size (requires MaxDOS), I probably use it less than I would, especially since the 200LX's suite of apps do many of the same functions (except outlining, which is only a once in a while thing for me anyway).

Hi, minix is an OS with a lot of potential that it will probably never realize. It's a nice little OS for the LX but has no support for networking. I'm not even sure that setting up for dialup is possible. I'm a big fan on unix and love to be able to run a (somewhat) real unix on the palmtop. minux gives us true(ish) multitasking (and even multi-user although that's kinda silly) on the LX. The problems I see with minix are as follows: No access to DOS filesystems No access to builtin apps No/Limited access to networking No PAL development environment I'd say that the DOS stuff is insurmountable unless we could make minux be a SC swappable task. Note: I would also like to give Mack a lot of credit. He went through a great deal of trouble to get a working minix on the LX. He hoped that some others would pick up the baton and run with it but that has not happened.

Minix itself does support networking, and it works even on a 640K XT. The problems are, only a few network cards are supported, and PCMCIA support is little or none. Maybe PPP over a serial line could work. I think the DOS filesystem support is also doable. I think it would work now if the LX had a normal INT 13H for disk access. I've tried to combine Dub's limited INT 13h driver with Mack's minix distribution but have not had any success so far. Perhaps it needs a more complete 13h emulation. Or someone could write a driver for minix that uses the LX's specific built-in drivers. By the way, minix is now available under the BSD license.

For years it was the only full screen editor available on the DataGeneral minis. WordPerfect was first developed for DataGeneral and on DataGeneral. I have no idea how much code I've written in ED. A lot. I've also used the PC version and they're nearly identical in their keystroks. ED isn't a bad editor at all. And I agree that it's very intuitive, has good help and is fairly powerful. It doesn't have a lot of features but it has a good selection of features. It usually has what you need. But vi is far more powerful and far more efficient once you learn it. By the way, among editors, I think ED probably requires more keystrokes for simple tasks then most. Even just exiting the editor makes you do a dance on the keyboard to convince it you really mean it. Macros are seldom worth using because they require more keystrokes to use than what they replace unless it's an unusually long sequence.

It should work with a 2.1 mm adapter, maybe the original adapter is even smaller. It is very difficult to measure the middle pin exactly. If your adapter has 2.5 mm it is certainly to big and may cause your problems.

Mine was stolen also about 3 years ago. My insurance company covered it with no problems as a theft under my homeowner's policy, which I'm told is standard for such losses, even tho it's away from home. - Itemize your loss, and include receipts (if you have them), purchase details (date, location, amount), identifying information (serial numbers, model numbers). - File a police report (you'll need the report number) - File a claim with your insurance company and provide the itemized list and police report number My insurance company preferred to have their people try and procure a replacement for the lost items, so I had to be VERY SPECIFIC when I described how the lost 14.4k PCMCIA modem had to be a specific type in order to work. In some cases, the insurance company let me buy the replacement items myself and covered the cost. They weren't able to come up with a 2x/5mb 200LX and an Xjack 14.4k modem, but did provide a nice 20mb flash card. They basically couldn't deal with buying discontinued items in general. In the case of the modem, they originally offered to get me one that was better and more expensive, but wouldn't work in the LX. In the case of the 200LX, you may need to describe the specific reasons why you need that "PDA" as opposed to them buying you a nice WinCE, Palm or Sharp. Having a good business justification is always good. I actually bought my replacement 200LX immediately, before I even filed the claim, and told them later that I had an immediate business need for a replacement and couldn't afford to wait (and took some risk there). All in all, I was pleasantly surprised at how amenable they were to the quirks, and that they were genuinely interested in getting me back in business. YMMV with each insurance company. Good luck with yours. - Longden PS - Maybe if you drive a stake thru the Palm's heart and offer its silicon up as a sacrifice, the 200LX will come back .... shit happens.

The appointment program is the electronic equivalent of a daytimer or similar paper scheduler. What is needed (and I assume the original poster as well) is the electronic equivalent of a weekly wall schedule of activities (such as classes), which changes infrequently, but must be refered to often (sorry to the original poster if I missed his intent).

I think the package dicsussed was Timeset? Timeset asks for $40 for registration--a bit pricey for my taste. Has anyone used Clockwork on the LX? It says it's main purpose is to determine and compensate for clock drift, but also includes a dialing utility and is only $20. I've also wondered about getting time via ntp. At one point I tried ntime (included with the wattcp utilities), but seemed to have some problems with it. I recently tried it again and it totally barfed (I think the config file name for LXTCP has changed since the first time I tried it). Is anyone using ntime via a PPP (or ethernet) connection?

It should be possible. The "wap language" is not very sofisticated. I know very little about it, but it supports different fonts and underline and some graphics.

I could do it, if you want. I opened my and my brother's LXs about 20 times by now, so I'm quite experienced. I can fix it without problems, if it's not a really broken jack. If it's only a loose wire from the jack to the motherboard, it's no problem for me to fix it. If the jack itself is broken, I could try to either fix it with epoxy glue or I could try to find a spare one, but that could be difficult, since this jack is probably a special one. In the case I don't fin any spare jack, i had to replace the motherboard (or at least sacrifice a motherboard to take the jack of it). About the costs: If I only have to solder a wire back onto the jack or board, you won't have to pay anything (except maybe the shipping costs - we'll see ;-)). If I buy a new connector, it will probably cost only a few Deutschmarks (if I get one at all), so you probably don't have to pay for this one either. In this case take it as Easter egg. ;-) If I had to sacrifice an entire motherboard, It'd cost something. But let's hope it won't be necessary! Maybe Tom Rundel has a broken motherboard with a good jack, so maybe we could make a deal with him in this case. But first let me have a look into your LX and after that we can decide what to do.

The fellow at my church who schedules activities for different rooms and such uses it for keeping track of which group gets which room on which date. He prints a weekly calendar and posts it.

For me the most important (and obscure) thing going on here is that NT will only install on a drive which is 8gb or smaller at the time of the install. If you have smaller than an 8gb drive you are probably fine. I have a 20gb drive and whenever I re-install NT I _must_ remember to shrink my disk to 8gb _prior_ to the install. The reason is worth understanding. NT in its pre-SP3 state can't deal with partition tables that contain entries higher than 8gb, _EVEN IF the partitions have nothing to do with the install_. So you have to get NT on, up yourself to SP3+ and then you are free to putz with the disk sizes etc. > > Creating images allows me revert back to W95 with all software/hardware > features and functions.

I have simple programs that report when any of the many forms of schedule files get `out of sync' with any of the other forms, and these programs always propose `updating transactions' that could be used to reconcile the schedules to one another. That way I keep ultimate control over the various files, but still manage to retain reasonable sanity. Using this strategy I find I can incorporate/use _any_ calendaring system so long at it has the capability of doing complete ascii import/export. And I reject any calendaring system that can't do ascii import/export anyway, as I have lost the content of too many ancient schedules when the systems that read/managed them eventually passed (ever try to get one of your old calendaring programs that now only resides on an 8in floppy up and running?) over the computational horizon... ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2000 09:09:16 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Scott Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Scott Subject: PCMCIA Disks and Name Brand Sandisks are Available MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have (2) 85 Meg PCMCIA Type ATA II flash disks available.

Avi, I am glad you are not having problems with WWW/LX on your 800CT, but, as I'm sure you are aware, I wote my comments in response to a message from another member of this list who was also having problems when he ran WWW/LX (and associated programs) under Win95.

Omnipoint now has a GSM-like network that uses a protocol called TDMA or some such thing (I am not a pro-it could be actual GSM 900-1800). An Ericsson CF788 (like a $50 phone) and their DI-27 IrDA modem ($199 retail) work on the Omnipoint network. The DI-27 is very tiny and works seamlessly. Just plug it in the bottom and put it next to the HP. Fire up wwwlx and the phone connects. I had 60% success connecting out of 15 or so tries. I feel sure that I can get that up to 85% after getting used to the quirks. Speed 9600 with .42bis for 38400. Meaning, E-mail, fine. Surfing, horrid. The little ir.exe prog off SUPER can be used in server mode to send AT commands to the modem. There might be more interesting things to do with that program, too. One must call Omnipoint and obtian their data plan. I think several of the Ericsson phones can use this Ir modem, but they have to be the "GSM" versions of the phones. Check out the Ericsson website.

It was interesting how both parties negotiate their parameters, like MRU, AUTH PAP, and others. In the protocol I could see that the two options 11 and 13 (decimal 17 and 19) are offered by the gateway server, but are unknown to PPPD, and caused it to send a ConfRej back. This is not a problem because the link can be established without them, but for the matter of interest where can I find information about these options?

My directory structure looks like this: c:\wwwlx\ ...www/lx code files c:\wwwlx\0 ...not used by www/lx c:\wwwlx\00 ...all email and ng files are kept in this directory c:\wwwlx\000 ...not used by www/lx c:\wwwlx\temp ...temp files used by www/lx When I replaced the 2.2d version of POST.EXE with the 2.2f version it changed the "Dir=00" lines in the ng and folder sections of my POST.CFG to "Dir=0". This of course meant it didn't think I had any files in any of those areas. I replaced the CFG with the (still good) BAK file and tried starting WWW/LX again and it again modified the Dir=00 lines and came up without any of my files.

You need to look at the IMAP4 RFC (see www.faqs.org) - the imap.select directive is just a string that is sent verbatim to the server, so you can put anything in there that the spec will allow.

The phone contains a modem and reliability of connection has been very high. Connection to the palmtop is via a serial cable. As the phone appears as a modem any communication program will work. Unfortunately I am one of only a few people to have this setup, I ordered my phone directly from Paris but subsequent to that Dave Shier was distributing the Sagem phone and accessories in the US. Unfortunately Dave changed the direction of his business late last year and no longer distributes them and Sagem no longer makes a phone for the US market.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Hello esteemed list members, After playing around with ntime (part of the wattcp utilities) and a batch file, I arrived at a batch file that will write the system time to a text file, synch the system clock with a second stratum ntp time server, and then write the system time to the same file. The purpose of this is to determine my clock's drift so I can feed a correction factor into a package (RighTime) that will compensate. The crucial batch file line is: echo | more | time >> synchlog.txt and let me tell you it took me some effort to find the trick of echoing more at time to suppress the need for a carriage return! But here's the reason for my request (you were wondering if the subject was wrong, weren't you! :). This command also writes the line "Enter new time:" to the text file. My understanding is that if I use find as a filter thusly: echo | more | time | find "C" >> synchlog.txt I will get only the line with the system time written to the log file.

Comments: To: Theodore Heise Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii The "more" thing to suppress the carriage return is a new one on me. But another way to do the same thing would be to follow the "echo" with a period: echo.|time thus removing a program (more) from the picture. I include something of the same for my laptop bootup: echo.|date|find "Cur" >> c:\boot.log echo.|time|find "Cur" >> c:\boot.log and this helps me to keep track of when the system was booted (especially useful when I suspect someone's been on my system).

We are not advertising them aggressively -- at this time only to this list and to our major customers. Preference will be given to 32 and 64 meg orders. We will sell a limited number of 8 meg units. There is no way to tell how long they will last -- but if you are interested, I suggest contacting us right away. Prices: 64 Meg: $1175 32 Meg: $895 8 Meg: $659 PLEASE -- so we can coordinate the orders and not promise more than we have, ONLY order them or make inquiries to Wayne Kneeskern, wayne@thaddeus.com.

It connects at 19200, via COM1, using the LX serial cable connected to Motorola's optional "PDA adapter" (a DB-9 male-to-male null modem adapter) and data cable which plugs into the bottom of the phone. In Canada, the iDEN series i500/700/1000plus phones, which all have standard modems, are available through "Mike" Clearnet PCS and in the US I believe through NextTel. To get the data cable, you have to buy their data kit which includes Windows software & a manual, neither of which are of any use to LX users, but the phones themselves are relatively cheap. The key to getting these phones to work is a special initialization string which is NOT explained in the documentation. It is: AT&FX4 You also have to pay an extra monthly charge to enable data service, which in Canada is about $5. On my single speed 2MB LX with 48MB Sandisk CF, I am running Goin' Postal, which worked effortlessly from the get go. I messed around for quite some time trying to get ccLXPOP/PNR/LXPOP/LXMTA running but I could never get past these programs timing out, though I tried various tweaks as suggested by people on the list. I am starting to wonder if the LXTCP mail only works on double speed palmtops? All in all, I'm very pleased with this setup; my PCMCIA slot is free, no modem to carry around (just the extra cable & DB-9), and no problems with battery life. Rather a happy marriage so far. My only complaint is having a few cables to carry around. Someone in another thread had mentioned recently they would give up their LX once they could get a palmtop-like device built into a cell phone. Picture this: you are out somewhere trying to get some work done using your palmtop but every time someone wants to get ahold of you the thing starts ringing and you have to hold it to your head to talk. And as a result the battery keeps running low: grounds for divorce if you ask me.

I know how insurance agents can be. They are, often times, apathetic. I would definitely take the good advice from one of the other posts and contact Thaddeus concerning availability of a used machine as a replacement. I think you should publicize the serial number, city and state where it was stolen. I live in Columbus, Georgia and if it was stolen in Georgia I will keep an eye open for it. Definitely file a police report. You never know, it may eventually turn up. It would be nice to have your day in court against the thief!!!

Unfortunately, for those efforts to be of any value I'd need the serial number. Though I recall writing it down when I bought it, I've since been unable to find the number. So, first piece of advice is to turn your machine over and write the number down. Write it several places and engrave your machine while you're at it. I found a press release on the Hewlett-Packard page which announces the discontinuation of the HP200lx and announces the Jornada 680 as its replacement. I've coupled that page with a product page showing the list price of the 680. One thing I do not have is a page documenting the list price of the HP200lx at its last date of sale. My insurance has an 80% inflation limit so I think I need something to show that the list price of the 680 is less than 80% more than the 200lx. I'll let y'all know how it turns out.

IIRC it works this way: LXMTA downloads each message and adds it to the file incoming.mai. It then sends a message to the server to delete the message. (If you have told it to do this). At the end of the download, if LXMTA has disconnected from the server in an orderly and polite manner, the server will then delete the messages. If you have a timeout, LXMTA disconnects very rudely from the server, who doesnt know that the messages have been senot ok, so they are retained. In order to fix this in LXMTA, I believe that LXMTA should save it's downloaded data to an intermediate file, and only at the end copy it to incoming.mai (or pnrti could do it.) The best workaraound that I have found is: 1. I normally empty my incoming.mai before downloading as downloading will cause all read messages to be unread. So if the download files I trash the incoming.mai file (or rename it.) 2. Try not to have timeouts :) I have found that the most obvious cause for timeouts on the HP200 is light sleep. When I go online I disable light sleep (using LXSTAT avaliable on SUPER). Since I did this I have not had any timeout problems. - Dont forget to reenable it when you go offline. I modified dial.bat to do all this automatically. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2000 15:27:59 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , JEZ.CUNNINGHAM@ALCATEL.FR Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jez Cunningham Subject: Progress with REX sync-ing software????

It _does_ have the little IrDA window, but there are no electronics behind this window, much to the _surprise_ of many people who assumed that the device did IrDA. I am surprised, I guess, that Nokia would build phones with dramatically different capabilities and leave them under the same model number, but that must be the situation if your 6160s are _that_ different from ours.

I'm sure you can understand that I am not very interested in `adjusting' my browser parameters as I look at several hundred (thousand?) pages per day, and most of them look fine just as is. Screwing around with my browser in order to view your page falls somewhere off the edge of the earth on my priority list. FYI I generally run my browsers on screens of 800x600, 1024x768 or 1280x1024. At the moment it is set to 1024x768 (16m colors) and your bage is nearly unreadable, so quite clearly `higher resolution' is no solution. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2000 22:26:19 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , chris@AMLOG.DEMON.CO.UK Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Chris Randle Subject: Re: Post/LX 2.2g is now available.

Thanks to all who suggested GrandView. At last, I think I've found something to move beyond the built in appointments todo program. It really is a gem of a program. I'm very lucky, because I've owned a computer company for 11 years and accumulated loads of "junk". Every time someone mentions some software, I run to the shelves of old stuff that nobody wants anymore and there it is! The copy of GrandView 2.0 was unopened with manuals etc. I've also seen Lotus 1-2-3 v2.4, Xtree Gold 2.5, Central Point PC tools v7, MS Flight Sim v4.0, FoxPro 2.5 and Word Perfect 5.1. Also got MS Word v1.00 with runtime copy of Windows and a hardback manual. All still boxed with manuals. I feel like I've won the lottery! I'm greedy, so I still want to hang on to all of this stuff except WP which I'll never use. I can't find the disks (they may still turn up) but if anyone would like to buy the manuals (for a fair price), then e-mail me off list. They're in London in the UK, BTW. ---------- Chris Randle (chris@amlog.demon.co.uk) ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2000 01:16:55 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Daniel Hertrich Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Daniel Hertrich Subject: Special SMTP in Post/LX (was: Re: T-Online & SMTP.COMPUSERVE.COM) Comments: To: hpstaber@COMPUSERVE.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi Hans Peter On Mon, 13 Mar 2000 16:22:31 -0500, Hans Peter Staber wrote: > 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 Can I also give more than one WWW setup name at the "Special" line?

Which do you then prefer for finished documents, Frameworks or Grandview + WordPerfect? I have been trying every outliner I can get my hands on, and the most pleasant to use is Memo on the hplx. Easy on the eyes, very intuitive, I copied down a whole lecture this weekend with it. Of course, it is very simple, so it would be neat to start outlines on Memo and finish them on Grandview, if there was a smooth way to convert the outlines. I have tried converting to RTF, but it seems no better than converting to ASCII (actually ASCII gives better convertion results. but much editing in Grandview is still necessary).

I think CC+ is intended more for printing than for displaying, and yes, I did find long ago a Simtel alternative, and it also is more for printing wall calendars than for displaying them. If someone could be encouraged to code a simple application to display a weekly calendar, it would be neat. I have seen a few very simplistic applications on SUPER (I have a note taker which displays a screenful of information on Sysmgr when pressing Shift-F1. Very fast, easy to read, and it does nothing else), so such a thing could be done along the same lines.

I took out the background GIF. It would be nice if the image showed up well in all machines and monitors, but it is not that good if it is good in some and ugly in other monitors. So I took it out. As far as fonts are concerned - each viewer can adjust their own fonts as they wish to have. However, some writing appears inside images, and that is not adjustable by the viewer. On our Webpage there is one single such occasion, and it will show fine because it is in black and white (2 glorious colors!) The rest of the writing is HTML text which is adjustable by the viewer. I have some limited control, for example I can designate some text as a header of a certain size etc. The big browsers allow you to change the main font and its size. In some cases, you can dig deeper and also designate the relative size of header 1 vs. header 2 vs. normal text etc. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2000 21:16:44 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , sponsor@FTEL.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Meshar Subject: Re: Post/LX 2.2g is now available.

Yes, it is optimized for HV, but I am debating with myself if this should go on. I can do much better things if I was not stuck in HV-compatibility mode! :-) However I try to make it look decent in Netscape and MS Internet Explorer and Opera. The page renders reasonably well in all. What I cannot control well, which irritated David, is the monitor quality, and so I took out the "smudge" (formerly known as a background gif with our name and icon pictures of the products :-) ...) It serves nothing if it shows fine here and ugly there... The other item I can only partially control is the font of the text. All the browsers leave that up to the viewer to determine which font to use and at what size. I thought about making a page that will notice if you use HV or other browsers, but it means twice the work for me and I hardly have time for one thing, let alone two. Don't get me wrong, I like the portable functionality of HV, but the Web is less and less accommodating of that little gem, and so its results are less and less satisfactory. Avi M.

You are correct. Here in Europe people still get suprised when they
find out that their 6110/6150 does not have irda or internal modem.

The ir window is used to play 2 player Snake and transfer
phonenumbers/callinggroup icons and stuff like that. If you want to use
it as a modem you need Nokia Cellular Datasuite. I do not know if NCDS
can be used for data on the Us/Canada models. But it can not be used on
the Hplx because it is a Win platform softwaremodem.

Yes that suprises me too. I have heard about the 6160 in
news:alt.cellular.nokia but I do not know that much about it. But it
would suprise me if it has "full blown irda".

The Nokia models that has irda modem capabilitys is:

I have dowloaded it and it works very well. 3 of the things that is
fixed/("fixed") is related to problems that I have posted to support :-)

Very nice to have such an impact on a product :-)

Lot of work has been done on this version..nice :-)

I would be careful before you run either of those network cards, I've just looked at the Xircom manual and it says:

10 Base-T 280mA typical, 300mA max
10 Base-2 85mA typical, 100mA max.

So in theory you can run it provided you are on thin ethernet, but absolutely not on UTP - 150mA is max for the LX.

Don't know about the 3COM card, if you have the manual the information is usually near the back near the FCC compliance statements, or look at their web site.

PE can handle very large file sizes.  The limit is something
in the 100's of MB range.  How big of a file do you need to
edit?

Ok, So I had a few moments and I tried it :-)

Now it is your turn. I reworked the main page of D&A
Software Website to include no headings and

It is a "plain vanilla" one now. That means that David Ness
would be able to see the page without any problems and
without having to adjust the fonts on his browser.

It is now your turn to tell me what you think.

The original is at http://www.dasoft.com/

The reworked one is at http://www.dasoft.com/index1.html

Programmer's toolkits from the golden age of DOS (or Dark age, depending on the
perspective from your Window), tho I don't recall Sidekick reaching its best
until around v1.56.

Throw in Turbo Pascal, the original Xtree (36k) and you'd be in hog heaven.

I assume this refers to some 200-related `PE', not IBM's ancient PE (which
I still use daily on my 200). IBM's PE can't handle files that are big,
but it is small enough, powerful enough and useful enough to have handled
virtually all of my programming and text handling work for nearly two
decades now. I don't know who really holds title to the name, but I bought my
copy of IBM's PE some time in the early 1980s, so I'd guess they were `there
first'.

That's a very useful answer to me, Martin, thank you. After I bought my
Nokia 6162 (which I love) a couple of years ago, I frequented the Nokia
newsgroups for long enough to at first be amused and eventually to get bored
by `I can't get my IRDA on my 616x to quite work...' posts, so it is clear
that _many_ people buy the phone assuming (I suppose because of the `window')
that the phone does IRDA. Indeed, they are sometimes quite argumentative on
the subject and some go on believing that IRDA can somehow be `brought to life'
by proper coding. These folks haven't, of course, opened up their phone to
see that there aren't any electronics there.

Assuming the original poster was simply wrong when he said `It Ý6160¨ features
a built-in modem and IrDA connection', it could be due either to mixing up
the model number or, if the situation is parallel to that which we often find
in our `phone stores' due to terrible mis-information on the part of the
personnel in the stores. I do know that I was told---at various times during
my purchasing process---(1) that my phone was already capable of data
transmission; (2) could be adapted to data transmission; and (3) was incapable
of data transmission. (2) proved to be the `real' answer, but in my case
the service obtainable was both too expensive and _way_ too slow to be of
any interest to me.

To add information to your answer, I believe that NCDS does _not_ work with
the American 616x series. There is one piece of software I know of from
Paragon that lets me upload and download names and phone numbers, but it is
one of the poorest pieces of software I have ever purchased, and I find that
(because of its poor design) I never use it.

Some of us are looking forward to the day when our American Cellular facilities
start to approach the capabilities that are an everyday matter for our
European friends.

Then I guess I was lucky to have settled for the plain 5160 instead! 

Actually, looking back at my notes, I see that it was a Nokia 6160i ...perhaps
the "i" signifies that it really does have infrared?

Or possibly I was almost the victim of a salesman who was either
over-enthusiastic or under-informed. I looked for "Nokia 6160i" on the Web and
got no definitive answer. The Canadian Nokia site (www.nokia.ca) doesn't even
mention this model, but then neither does it mention the 5160 which is sitting
in my pocket even as I write this!

Does anyone else have more (or more reliable) information on this?

I think the new one is better. I think the orginal problem was the size o=

the fonts due to the

small on desktop machines, regardless of configuration of the browser. h6
is there to make fonts tiny, actually. As you removed them (nearly)

Hi,

I'm checking out a new mailer for my desktop called The Bat! which seems =
to
be a hell of a mailer ;-)

I discovered that The Bat! encodes my name (because of the German umlaut =
in
my first name) like this:

=3D?ISO-8859-1?B?R/xudGhlciBFaXNlbGU=3D?=3D 

post/lx, outlook express, netscape etc. encode my name like this:

=3D?ISO-8859-1?Q?G=3DFCnther_Eisele_?=3D

I tested the header which was generated by The Bat! with the following ma=

clients, which showed/decoded it correctly: pine (solaris+linux),
communicator 4.7 (linux), outlook 2000, outlook express, netscape 3.04-6
preview (win). The only mailer which doesn't decode is correctly is
post/lx (it shows the original header).

Can someone explain why there are two different ways of encoding and whic=

the list to avoid considered being a spammer ;-)

Big thanx to you!

Yep.  This PE would be the freeware text editor from D&A Software.
Also known as PALEdit.  Available directly from D&A's site or from

The only information I have on the 6160i (the Nokia newsgroup) indicates that
it does _not_ have infrared either, so whatever the `'i' is, it isn't that.
I suspect it was an overenthusiastic (and underinformed) salesman. Indeed,
cellular salesmen seem to stand only behind `.com promoters' in the
ETK ratio (Enthusiasm-to-knowledge ratio) which appears in many cases to
approach infinity.

As a sidebar it is worth noting that even with a company that is viewed as
technologically agressive, and technology that not only uses instantaneous
transmission (the net), but is _about_ instantaneous transmission (cellular
conversation), the web sites appear to be _way_ behind actual product
delivery. I find this increasingly common on the net, where more and more
one seems to get faster and faster access to information that is older and
older. Indeed, it now only takes me milliseconds to get access to information
that was often last updated in the early to middle 1990s. All-in-all I'd be
happier with the ability to access week old information with a day's delay
than I am to have instant access to year old information.

Thank you for the information. Although I venture that the number of (IBM) PE
users is hundreds or thousands of times the number of PALEdit users, perhaps
IBM's PE is `dead' enough to cede the name. However, since IBM's PE _does_
work well on the 200, and certainly holds `prior title' to the name `PE', and
since PALEdit seems to already have a perfectly good name (PALEdit), it might
be sensible to use this name instead of `PE' when talking about it.

This is the case when composing a new mail, replying, forwarding. It is
replaced directly after pressing F2/F3/F3 (not while sending).

The newshplx.tpl (for this mailing list) looks like this:

umlaut =FC=3Due
-------=19
From: G=FCnther Eisele 
To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu
Subject:=20

The post.tpl for 'normal' mail looks like this:

umlaut =FC=3Due
-------=19
From: G=FCnther Eisele 
To: (F6 or ENTER to pick an address)
Subject:=20

What I did for testing was to replace the 2.2g version with the old 2.2f
version, and the old version works correctly, with the same post.cfg and
the same *.tpl! I will reply to this posting with the old version. Manual
replacement of the hyphen seems to work around this probable bug, but thi=

is lots of work, as I have to do it in every new mail/reply.

Is anyone with an umlaut in his name discovering the same problems or did=

From NOKIA web site:

Q: Can you tell me which Nokia 6100 series phones operate in
               which mobile network standard?
               A: The Nokia 6110 is for GSM 900 networks, the Nokia 6130 for GSM
               1800 networks, and the Nokia 6190 for GSM 1900 networks. The
               Nokia 6138 is a phone for Asia-Pacific GSM 1800 markets. The
               Nokia 6150 is a GSM 900/1800 dual band phone. The Nokia 6120 is
               a dual mode AMPS/TDMA 800 phone and the Nokia 6160 is a dual
               band and dual mode AMPS/TDMA 800/1900 phone for the American
               market.

It certainly looks as if the 6160 almost uniquely does not have Infrared, perhaps because it needs space for the analogue circuitry.

The answer seems to be that you take your LX to the shop, having loaded WWW/LX and tested it with another phone...and don't buy the phone till you see it work.  Never believe the salesman!

I use vi (Calvin) or vim for most of my editing, but tho these are limited in
the file sizes they can handle, this is rarely a problem with the types of files
I work with.

The one or two times I had to edit something big, I believe I used edlin  (yeah,
and I still know how to use the IBM mainframe line editor ... not THAT's OLD).

I use neither PALEdit nor IBM's Personal Editor, but I rarely get confused by
which one people are talking about here.  I prefer that the more common one get
the abbreviation, at least in the context of this group, if nothing else than to
keep down the bandwidth (or which I'm already guilty of maligning).

Just as in my last aerospace job, we didn't commonly refer to our "bird" as the
"Advanced Tactical Fighter", just because the bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms had first dibs on the abbreviation.  Context suffices in most cases,
except when we seem to have much too much time on our hands .

Thank you for the information. Although I venture that the number of (IBM) PE
users is hundreds or thousands of times the number of PALEdit users, perhaps
IBM's PE is `dead' enough to cede the name. However, since IBM's PE _does_
work well on the 200, and certainly holds `prior title' to the name `PE', and
since PALEdit seems to already have a perfectly good name (PALEdit), it might
be sensible to use this name instead of `PE' when talking about it.

If forced to do my final documents on the 200LX, I probably would continue
to use GrandView to do my initial conceptual work and then do the absolute
final polishing in WordPerfect.  But you should realize that my documents
rarely contain tables, formulas, or other forms of numerical expression.
The Framework III/IV and GrandView/WordPerfect alternatives each have their
uses, strengths, and weaknesses.

In fact, I use GrandView primarily and regularly on my 200LX.  For serious
work I export the material in WP5.1 format from GrandView and then import
it into Lotus Notes and have the polishing done by my assistant who is much
more knowledgeable than I am on making documents fit the requirements of
our courts.

Again, I believe that the choice of your favoured software will depend upon
what your intended use will be.  If you want to organize and carry your
entire year's lecture notes on your 200LX, then I would think that
GrandView on a FlashCard would be ideal.  Using subheads and the F5
document command, you could easily organize and have all of your lecture
notes with you wherever you go.

Indeed, for the students on the list, it might be of interest to know that
about five years ago the University of British Columbia Law School
encouraged its students to use GrandView to organize their course work.
Law is very much organized along the tree branch/tree roots metaphor which
fits very nicely into the GrandView style of organization.

Again, at the end of the day, the best software is that which enables you
to do whatever it is that you do with ease and grace.  To accomplish that,
I favour the "let a thousand flowers bloom" approach.  As there are many
ways to live a good life, so there are many "perfect" software solutions.

Hello again, forgive me if this has been discussed before... I'm new to

Are there any 56k pcmcia modems that are compatible with the 200lx?
Presently I'm using a USR 14.4 x-jack modem.  I understand the limits

so naturally I'd be interested in something with a low amperage draw.

Marc,

Welcome to the list, and check out Thaddeus' website where they offer lots of
palmtop stuff for the 200LX, including a 56k modem:


http://www.palmtoppaper.com/cgi-bin/shop.plx/SID=PUT_SID_HERE/page=faxmodem.htm

probably one of just a few that won't suck the life out of the AAs in seconds.

I guess I can well understand why people who use the 200 as their main
communication vehicle might want to save the 5 extra key strokes invloved in
typing `PALEdit' instead of `PE', but then I would think they would prefer
to `go the extra mile' and just refer to it as `P', thus improving efficiency
by another 50%...

Well, I don't know what's happening but in your first message I saw your
From: line with G-nther (the hyphen in the "u" position) but in the body
of the message the other "u" had an umlaut.

In your second message, the From: line contained no data!!!!  The entire
From: after that word was blank.

If you edit that group, you can place a -xxxx as the high message number
and it will download the newest (last) xxxx messages, say, -50 or -100
or -999

Yes this is my experience with alt.cellular.nokia too. I do some
filtering now and trash most of the 61** messages. There were/are lots
of messages about "How to make irda work on 616*" and "Does the
61** contain a full blown modem?"

I think the 61** series was great phones, but Nokia should have
implemented a real modem like 8810/7110 and not a software modem
thingy.. A lot of customers that either fooled themself or got fooled
by the store about the ir on their new phone..

Logomanger at

http://www.logomanager.co.uk

should work on all 61** models( I now they work on 6110/6150). It works
for phonebook and logos and things like that. If you want to use it as
modem then you have to use NCDS. If you say that NCDS does not work for
phonebookmanagement or data then you are probably correct. My info
about the 6160 is from the alt.cellular.nokia group and not really of
any interest for me :-)

:-) Yes when it comes to gsm/digital cellular phones Europe are the
place to be at the moment. I must say that I laugh when I see the
phones that are used in tv series and movies from the Us. When they
pull up there Motorola Flip phones with large battery from their
shoulder holster I laugh :-)). Keannu Reeves in "Matrix" used a
modified Nokia 8110 and the market over there went ballistic.

The spring loaded flip was cool(I got that on my 7110), but the phone
was really old. I had one for many years. The phones that are pushed
now in the US is the 61** series(?). I know that one cellular provider
has a _huge_ contract with Nokia. They will soon launch the Nokia 7190
which works on 1900Mhz. The spring loader has been removed to be sure
that the US people do not injure themself :-))

But as many has told me the Us market is huge and it is not easy to
"push" a standard over there. The cellular phone market is pretty "new"
over here. We have had N(ordic)M(obile)T(?) for _many_ years, but it
was analog and is now faded out and gsm 900/1800 is the standard over
here. Next year we will have Gprs which brings us higher bandwidth and
packet style transmission of data..

The future is surely handheld. I hope the hard core Hp200lx users will
still stay with the Hplx to help the community to adapt to the fast
changing handheld world. There are lot of things to look forward too:
Bluetooth and Gprs..

Note: The 6110/6150 has ir which can be used for data true a

Hi,

Hm, it seems that after one reply the umlaut is 'eaten' even in the body.

Yes, the umlauts in the body work correctly, it's just the umlaut in the
from header which should be iso coded.

???? This is definitely strange. Because without a proper from: the list

exactly mean (subject, time?)

I have posted 4 messages today (this is the fifth), and I have them all=20
on my 200lx, downloaded from news.hplx.net, not directly received by the
list), and every mail has a from header. It's just strange that the
correct from header (G=FCnther....) is shown in post/lx like this

G=FCnther Eisele           in the list vi=

Note the lots of blanks between the name and the address. The three mails

this is just a little viewing bug, I'm used to it.

Strange. Maybe others see different things....

Thanks for your reply!

And Jeff also was able to connect with this modem 49xxx bps DCE on a
hp200lx, as he did write in a previous message. I never was able to get
even close to that DCE speed.

I bought a low power 56K modem in New York last week. The utmost DCE
speed I achieved was 46xxx bps. To attglobal.net it always connects
45.667 bps. This modem plugs in all day and allows me every couple of
minutes an online session and downloads. The batteries, Sanyo 1500 mA
NiMH, are replaced every day and recharged externally.

This modem acts like a modem and *not* like a stove.

BTW, I never had that much fun, browsing through the web, as I do have
now while being on travel. At home I am connected to a network using an
ACCTON network card.

Kind regards

Helmuth

The Databook ThincardDRIVE (TMC 200) is capable of working with the early
PCMCIA Type I  specification memory cards - linear flash and SRAM cards
only.  No modems, ATA flash or LAN adapters, no multifunction cards, no SCSI
adapters - that came with the later specifications.

It was useful when I had my 95LX, as I could write text files to both a 1 MB
and a 10 MB linear flash card I had for VR to read.  It also served to read
and write the SRAM cards I had for it.

The software supplied by Databook for this unit is for DOS only and there is
no support for it under Windows 9x operating systems.  I still have a
complete unit, with manuals, in the box at my house, gathering dust.

You can limit the number of messages coming down from the
newsgroups in several ways:

- You can download headers only, then select what you really want to see,

- You can limit the size of messages being downloaded and
reject anything over x lines.

- You can filter out messages and refuse messages with
certain keywords in the subject.

- you can tell News/LX to d/l only the last x messages in
the the archive.

To seem more info, press CTRL-F1 in the main Post/LX menu.
This gives you a topic list for the help. Then search on
"limit" (omit the quotes.) You should see an item called
Managing Newsgroup Messages or similar...

Subject:      LXMTA - Recommendation for next update
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hello,

when LXMTA downloads a series of news articles and encounters
the minimum free space condition set with the lxmta.minfree
parameter, it continues to attempt to download all articles
that have not yet been downlaoded. Once this condition has
been met, it does not seem to challenge the lxmta.maxmsgs
any longer.

For example, I have set lxmta.minfree=300000 and
lxmta.maxmsgs=50. If hundred or more articles are waiting
to be downloaded, the first parameter hits and LXMTA enlessly
attempts to download all others without success.

If my observations are correct, I recommend to update LXMTA
in a way that it stops the downlaod after both conditions
are met.

Admittedly, it might be possible that one or the other smaller
article might fit in, but this is only a small benefit,
compared against the longer download time.

Regards
Norbert

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hello,

I am looking for a nice idea how I can automatically exchange
a few known hex bytes in a file against some others.

The problem: I often receive mail with LXMTA that contains
some country-specific characters, which are not properly
displayed by my newsreader (PNR, or cc:Mail through ccLXPOP).

The misdisplayed characters are hex values between 80 and FF,
and sometimes they arive as three-byte strings. Both conditions
makes my mail ugly to read.

My idea is to search for and replace these bytes and strings
in question in file incoming.mai or incoming.nws before these
files are touched by the news reader. All bytes and strings
and their replacements are known.

I am looking for a nice idea now I can solve this problem
without manual intervention, so that I can include this
step in my dialer batch file.

- Can it be done through DOS piping?
- Any small program that I do not know?
- EDLIN and redirection?

It should not necessarily double the space of either file
to be processed, if possible.

Any ideas and hints are welcome.

Thank you
Norbert

I've checked out the modem @ www.palmtoppaper.com, and have seen Jeff's
comments... looks good (btw... Jeff, are you the same Jeff I used to
see sending UI packets via R0MIR?) :O)

A couple more questions:

1) What is the brand/model off the modem listed on that site?  There are
no pictures or specs regarding the modem... basically only a price.

2) For those of you using this modem... what kind of battery life do
you get as compared to using the older 14.4 pcmcia modems?  The website
mentions that these modems have the lowest current consumption they'd
seen, but thats a bit vague.

Incidently... while playing around with my USR 56k pcmcia modem, I get
connection rates anywhere from 41 - 44kbps... though I have no way of
knowing what my actual throughput is.  It is definitely 2 - 3 times
faster.

Thanks again,

Has anybody checked out the Mapopolis maps for the Palm Pilot?
   http://www.mapopolis.com/

Alot of HP Palmtoppers could get some use out of a version for the
LX.  It uses the Palm Pilot PDB database format.  I haven't tried it,
since I don't have a Palm Pilot, but if the Mapopolis PDB files are
like normal Palm Pilot PDB databases, then perhaps it wouldn't be too
difficult to use PRC2TXT
(http://www.palmtop.net/anonftp/pub/prc2txt.zip) to convert it to
text, then render it graphically.

I suspect you're the only user of the (old) IBM PE editor on this list
so you'd be the only one confused.  Am I wrong? ..do others here use PE?
I used the IBM PE editor for a while back when it was new; I think that
was in the DOS 2.0 days when the XT was still a big deal.  I don't think
I used it for more than a year or two before moving on something else.

For most (simple) edits I use the Tiny editor T.EXE (only 10k).  For
bigger jobs I use Xedit (IBM VM/CMS mainframe) or its pc clone Kedit.

Download Headers only which goes pretty fast.  Offline, after selecting
which ones look worth reading you can go back online to download a
selected few.

I follow REC.GUNS which has about 500-1000 posts/week using my 200LX.

Could easily be. PE maintains an active user community amongst a bunch of
my old MIT colleagues, and there are `updated versions' of it that appear
from Italy and other far climes. But it may well be that I am the only
user who ever reads this list. And if people continue to use `PE' to
refer to `PALEdit' it will hardly lead me far astray.

I have used countless other editors, of course, from Teco to EMacs, but
somehow I always end up returning to PE because of its `block' functions.
I use PE on the LX because it still survives (without any real change) the
move from XT/Dos 1.1 -> Win98, NT4.0 and Win2K, and works as well on my
384Mb/30Gb machine and my 500Mhz portable as it does on my 2Mb 200lx. Thus I
never have to think about how to do something wherever I am or whatever I am
doing (data entry, memo writing, composing code). The _best_ thing for
me about the 200Lx is that it allows me the luxury to carry old code and
old habits in my pocket, and doesn't require much in the way of stuff that
only works on the 200...

WordPerfect also had an editor called PE, which, I think, stood for
Programmer's Editor.

I'll bet a little research would turn up more editors named PE.

Big?  Edlin?  I thought it was limited to files of 65k or less?

To add : If you want to have this the next time again you have to place
a -xxxx as high message number again as it will be overwritten.

In my students days I had to learn the basic formulas and equations of
Physics, Mechanics and the like. The Professor of Physics used the
letter "s" for "space" in his formulas. At the same time I was taking
Mechanics and the Prof there use the letter "e" for space.

Well I complained as they twisted my brain with other stuff as well.
The Mechanics Prof told me : "no matter how you call your child - the
only important thing is that it comes when you call" (G).

I will use PE and PalEdit in place of PALEdit - depending on my mood
:-)

Yes you can :

Special=3Dnetway netway_gsm
SpecialSMTP=3Dsmtp.netway.at

They have to be related to the same ISP so that you have only one
SpecialSMTP.

This is not necessary. I strongly recommend to have just_one_generic
setup per ISP in WWW.CFG. The differentiation is done in ÝWWW¨ section
of POST.CFG

I don't think so - but I don't know exactly either.

You will find all you need at http://rwhitby.hplx.net/lxmnc/index.html

Another interesting site with lots of good info on networking is
http://www.helmig.com

I'm using an Accton 2216-1. Once you are at it, and if things do not work,

I am not sure if it works on your application but you can try INT5fh by Harry
Konstas. This freeware program can be downloaded from SUPER site
(www.palmtop.net). The screen is much larger but the graphics is not as nice as
CGAGRAPH.

I am using the thad' modem with no problems. I can use it serveral times a
day with no problems on a charge. I can't vouch for exact current drain or
connect speeds though as I don't have the tools to check for that stuff. I
am using it the the UK by the way with no problems...

If I connect via cell phone I want to save every second, because of
high connection costs. So it would be good to avoid the connection with
the POP server if I only have to send one or two emails. At 9600 baud
the connection to the POP server takes some seconds, sometimes even up
to 10 or 20 seconds, if the POP server I use is very busy.
But with another SMTP server that I want to use if I do not connect via cell
phone I have to set the POPFirst setting.
Hence my desires. :-)
I hope I described it good enough - it's a little bit complicated,
because of my quite umcommon setup: university as ISP and email
provider over a cell phone connection and other call-by-call-ISPs and
GMX as email provider when connected over modem line.
And GMX needs POPFirst.

I think it's because of the resolution. The palmtop is 640x200 and VGA is
640x480. PALRUN just
changes the aspect ratio to accommodate 280 more vertical pixels. Remember,
PAL programs are
running in the palmtop's graphics mode (as opposed to text mode).

Edlin didn't have a file size limit in the days when it was popular.
It could read/modify any file you could fit on any hard drive in
those days.  I suspect that with the bigger hard drives today a
limit will be found but I'm pretty sure I've used it to edit
multi-meg files.

We used to get a large file in and I had to change a byte in the

handle it as it came, I used Edlin to change that byte.  I don't
remember how big that file was but it seems like it was 5 or 10 meg.

Actually the limit in com files is the filesize of the program
itself.  That's limited to 64k.  But when the program is running it
can use all available memory in the computer and read files as large
as Dos can support.

After getting Russell's note, I tried it on a 4000 line txt report (250k bytes)
and while it appeared to load the file, it wasn't able to list anything past
line 762.

Now, I happen to have an MS-DOS 5.0 Reference Guide, for just these occasions
 .... and it reads for EDLIN:

"When you start Edlin, it reads as many lines as possible from your disk file
into memory.  If the size of your file exceeds available memory, you must edit
your file in stages."

The point in the doc was that you could edit big files, but not all at once...
you had to use a combination of Write and Append commands to do it in pieces.

Au contraire! I don't know the true limit, but you can edit much
larger files than 64K--I've done it.   The trick is you have to
do it in 64K chunks: after each chunk you write it out and then
load the next one.  (That's the Append command.)

Hi Barry; All,

re: Barry's:

<<..limit in com files...64k.  But when the program is running it can use
all available memory in the computer and read files as large as Dos can
support.>>

When we're talking about DOS file size limitations is there a correlation
between the HDD size DOS can support and the file size it can address?

I mean if it can only partition and see (what is it 1.2 GB partitions? I
forget) and has the ability to address a partition of a certain size,
doesn't that mean it can't get "ahold of" (address) a file any bigger than
it could partition?

Aside from the fact that, if it can't make a 10 GB Partition, there's no
place to put a 10 GB file.... .... I suppose there're network "drives;
but, if someone is using their LX to edit 10 GB files on a network, they
need to do an article for Thaddeus!

With the discussion regarding 56K Modems, I would also like to point out that
the 56K modem that Thaddeus sells works with Linux, if you have an interest in
trying out that alternative to Windows. I had another 56K PCMCIA modem (IBM
label, actually remarked 3com), but it would not work as it is a "winmodem".
Linux 2.2.13 registers the Thadeus Modem right away and I was able to establish
a PPP connection with my server without any difficulty.

And learning linux has been interesting. I am trying out Sun's Star Office 5.1
right now and I think that it is a remarkably good product, considering they
aren't charging you anything for it. I am not convinced that it is a
replacement for MS Office, but I think that perhaps the main complaint against
it will be that it doesn't have the market penetration that Office has.

I'm not sure if DOS imposes file size limitations or not.  The drive
size limitations are imposed by the BIOS, not by DOS.

The FAT table, which is a DOS construct, should be able to handle a
file up to the size of the drive, after deducting a little for the
directory and the FAT table itself, as well as a little more that
DOS and BIOS uses or renders unusable.  If there's a limit imposed
by DOS it's either an artificial limit imposed for some reason I'm
not aware of, or a limit based on the filesize carried in the
directory entry.  I believe there are 32 bits for the file size in
the directory, which should allow for 4.2 gig files unless it's a
signed number.

Just toggle off the download arrow of your mailbox.

If you have several mailboxes and newsgroups which you do not want to
visit in certain situations then create "sets" - look in the doc
files, eg in POSTHELP.I Subject: Displaying A Selection of Boxes

I don't have any useful personal information for you, but you might be

The program by default visits SMTP then POP3. Always both!
Makes no difference if it visits POP3 then SMTP or SMTP
then POP3.

If you want to block any uploads or downloads, then use the
"visit arrows" on the main screen. Highlight the mailbox
then press D repeatedly to toggle the downarrow from arrow
(=download from POP3 server), to H (=download only
headers), to nothing (= do not access the POP3 server).

With the SMTP (up arrow), press U repeatedly and it toggles
the up arrow to nothing - meaning upload or not.

What you say makes sense but it does not work like this
with the program.

Even more: Post/LX has no clue if there is any POP3
messages waiting for you until it connects and finds out.
(We have a version to be released on July 42, 2000 :)
called Prophet/LX which predicts if you have email or
not!), so it always wants to connect to POP3. With SMTP it
is different. If there is nothing to send, Post/LX will not
try to visit the SMTP server (just to send nothing!)...

You are raising what is an _enormously_ complex issue, and one on which a
large amount of mis-information regularly circluates. Virtually every version
of DOS, DOS clones and Pseudo-DOS (the versions of dos-like systems that
exist under some Windows systems) have different complexities and limitations.
Add to this the complexity of third-party partition managers and you are
almost ready for a life-long study.

Just to give one example, NT, as delivered, cannot deal with a disk that
has entries in the Partition Table >8Gb. It was not until SP3 that it acquired
this capability, so restrictions of install time are removed once SP3+ is
installed.

At the moment I have one system with 30gb, and various versions of DOS can
`see' most of it, but not all at once (at least the way I have it configured).

The first message from Guenther also contained the hyphen in my inbox.
The second message too. But the third message ehich Guenther sent some
time later contained the umlaut! No hyphen, no ISO.... strings.

Marc, it is a generic modem with a Rockwell chip set. I believe it is OEM'd
in quantities for specific partners. I don't know more. I heard about the
modem speaking to an ex-EXP fax/modem employee. He had been selling the
modem to 200LX users in Brazil and had heard nothing but good things about
it. He put me in contact with a distributor.

Yes. In the Ýnewsgroup¨ section itself, add parameter:

KeepNumber=1
LastNr=-50

The combination will make News/LX keep the -50.

You can also move the KeepNumber parameter to the ÝNEWS¨
section, and it will affect all newsgroups which have a
LastNr=-nn.

> way back when. For "heavy lifting" I use Word 5.5 or sometimes WP 5.1

I am having some problems adjusting to Word 5.5 from Word 5.0,
particularly, where some of my macros are concerned.

One that I used a lot searched for TWO CARRIAGE RETURNS consecutively
(demarcing a paragraph) and replaced them with &&, then found the
single hard returns  and removed them completely - to reformat text that
had hard carriage returns after every line.  The finally replaced the
two &&'s with two hard returns.

I cannot find a way in Word 5.5 to search for and replace some of the
special characters, like hard returns, that I could under 5.0.

Any help appreciated.

I don't actually use macros very often, though I should. They can make life a
lot easier.

To replace a carriage return, the text you want to replace is ¬p (caret followed
by p). Likewise, a tab is represented as ¬t (caret followed by t), a space is
represented as ¬w (caret followed by w). There are others that I can't recall at
the moment.

This works in the menu boxes, so it should also work in a macro, no? Is this
what you needed?

Logomanager for Logos/Ringtones/Phonebook should work with DAU-9P too.
For data you must use DLR-3 or irda.

It will never replace the Hplx..but I leave the Hplx more at home than

The calender is okey.. You can add Meeting/Call/Birthday/Reminder. You

4.80 and above is okey. I have 4.84 and it still has some minor things

I have done that a lot lately.. Check the archives for any messages
that has anything to do with irdaphones..

I have a 7110 and it works very well for use with Www/lx. I also beam
contacts from the Hplx phonebook to the 7110. The 7110 has a 5 number/2
textfield per name(1000 names) phonebook.(wow!)

The 7110 has a spring loaded flip The US model will AFAIK not have the
spring flip and will "instead" contain a Todolist.. The US model will
be 7190 and is soon to be released (Haha..yeah sure :-)

I got a new sms script which will work better on the 7110. I am sure
Andreas will make this availible on the Dasoft page too. The 7110 can
store about 50-60 sms's depending on your simcard.

Please check my messages on the subject and then I am happy to answer
any questions you may have..I am very satisfied with the phone..but it
still has some bugs and things I do not like.. But the best phone I
have had..

(Ericsson R320 will be launhed tomorrow here in Europe/Norway. You
should consider it if you like the Ericsson way to do things. It has
lacks the big phonebook but it got features that the 7110 does not
have. But then againg I am a Nokia man..:-)

There's nothing like a combination of alcohol and talk of edlin
to make me feel maudlin.

When I was trying to work on Honeywell minis, these idiots kept
bugging me to edit a funny file called autoexec.bat on their
toy IBM XTs, because I seemed to be the only one who could
control edlin.

It seems so funny now, but I always had to ask, "what was the
name of that file again?", cos I could never remember!

Hi friends,

thanks for all your feedback! Now I have looked into some of your
suggestions and this one is the program of my choice: simple, fast,
runs on the LX:

Thanks, Longden! Great program! Converts the PIC files very fast into
PS files that are usable in Linux for all purposes - including
embedding into LaTeX documents. Exactly what I needed!
I tried to compile it under Linux - works.
I tried to compile it with TCC-compiler on the LX - works, too!

if you do not want to wait this long:

I already use a prophet - it works with my mobile phone and GMX,  a
free Email provider. GMX offers the possibility to page you when you
get an Email. The paging adress you can enter is free. My mobile phone
company offers a free SMS service and you can have an Email adress
(phonenumber@text.mobilkom.at) for receiving Emails as SMS.
If I get a Email my mobile phone beeps and I get the subject and the
first lets say 80 characters of the message on my phone.
And the service is free. It works great unless the mobilkom server is
not down which happens sometimes - they do not have a weekend
serviceman engaged i guess.

cheers,
Werner

with the quickc compiler you can be limited as to the amount of memory you
can malloc(), if you compile with the  small memory model you are limited to
using 64k of memory on the other hand using the compact or large memory
model you can malloc() up to the amount of free system memory, the reason
for this is that in the small memory model all pointers to address's are
near ie 8 bytes so only 64k of memory can be addressed ie the pointer points
to the offset into the segment only. without looking it up I would guess a
.com has to fit both its code and data into the 64k space

I am not the original poster, but I think I can comment some
on your question.   InfoSelect doesn't do much, but it does
it very well.   If you are the type of person that prefers
to put your thoughts or information down as they come, and
organize them later, InfoSelect has no equal, IMNSHO.  The
great thing is that you have fast access to your
information, whether you make time to organize it or not.
And it has a very low learning  curve.

If on the other hand, you prefer to be presented with a
structure to put down your information, other programs might
be better, though InfoSelect handles that well enough.

I have tried Flexpad many times (as recent as last week),
and I am very impressed by its power and speed.  But the
learning curve is higher, and the approach of combining
structured and unstructured information in the same file is
a bit confusing to me.  I don' yet fully understand the
label system (the documentation could be better, I think).

I guess it all depends on which approach works for you, but
lately I have been using InfoSelect in connection with
Grandview.
The collapsing outline approach is exactly what I need to
organize my random information (Micrologic saw the wisdom of
that, and InfoSelect for Windows and for the palm now
include outlining.  Not in the Dos version, unfortunately).
I run InfoSelect as a TSR on top of GrandView, and it works
great for me.   YMMV.

Maybe this explains why I was able to list only about 38k of data at a time (on
a 247k file) using edlin, even tho I entered into the edit session with 597k of
system memory available (per "mem").  Edlin itself is about 13k.

That's only true of malloc().  It uses the local heap.  farmalloc()
will return a far pointer to an allocated area in the far heap (the
rest of ram) of up to 64k.  You can get as many segments from
farmalloc as you need, one segment at a time.  This is true in any
small data mode.  In the large data models, malloc() works like both
malloc() and farmalloc() in the small data models.

Far pointers are allowed in small model programs, they're just not
the default.

In QuickC the function is called _fmalloc() instead.  Microsoft
always uses different names for the sake of standardization.  :)

In any case, I'd be surprised if edlin was written in C.  C wasn't
that common when edlin was written.  It was used a lot but probably
not as much as asm for things on the os level in those days.

I just found a copy of edlin datad 1991.  I cant run it to see what
version it is.  I get an "incorrect dos version" error in dos under
win98 and I dont want to deal with that right now.  The file size is
13k.  A small editor might have been written in an early C compiler
in 13k if it was written very well.  But it's much more likely to be
asm.

I looked through it for ascii strings, for printf formatting
strings, in particular, and I found %1 after a couple of error
messages.  That's probably from some asm print function.  It's not
quite C.  Nothing else in the file indicated it might have been in
C.  It's common to at least find the compiler name somewhere
embedded in the program.

Freyja, which has been around forever, and Micro Emacs, are both on the SUPER
site.  I don't use emacs myself, so I can't comment much on them.

Freyja was written for the 95LX (and upgraded for the 100LX) and apparently can
be used as a SysMgr compliant EXM.

I am kind of busy at the moment otherwise I would have typed more in my
previous email. The author has considerable information about the
program at:

http://maxthink.com/max/max.html

The program comes with both an audio tape tutorial and a fairly hefty
manual. It is a good brainstorming tool as the author suggests. I used
it to good effect in my own career. I am sure I could manage without it
but it is very convenient for playing with and developing ideas -
especially on the palmtop where you are limited to a text interface.

You'd better be using `Clone' in an almost metaphorical sense here. EMacs
takes detectable time to do some tasks on my 500MHz portable, and occasionally
grinds on my 200Mhz machine. If a `clone' were reasonably faithful to the
core of EMacs I imagine it would run like sludge on a 100Lx...

I'd think you're right. I've never used PE much (although its ability to
dynamically read configuration files was quite nice) because I didn't like
its speed. On the HP 200 LX I'm either using T.EXE (same as you) or the E3
editor which supports sorting, spell checking (I use German, US English,
and Dutch dictionaries) and much more.

Sounds like you're not putting in the right DNS server address (or the DNS
is misconfigured). The ICMP port unavailable is caused by you trying to
reach a host's UDP port when no process is listening on that port. That's
how UDP is supposed to respond when you access a non listening port. (Why it
doesn't respond with UDP instead of ICMP I don't know. I'm sure there's a
good reason found in some RFC somewhere :-/)

This is excellent news.  Since I gave away my backup palmtop as a Christmas

that won't break my bank account.

I'm now running Post 2.2g successfully.

ROFL!!! So you noticed the date - indeed a looong wait.

Yes, this is not new. Compuserve had that available since
about 1996. I had something like this available to me when
I worked with a company years ago, and they forced me to
wear a pager. They also setup my account to send me a page
each time an email arrived at that mainframe-based email
package. It was not even an Internet email system!

This stuff is not new...

What I meant to say is that Post/LX cannot tell UNLESS it
opens that server. BTW, the systems you talk about do
EXACTLY that, they open the server and check it out.

The new palmtops we have in stock are going VERY fast -- we are down to 40.
We sell them as 8 meg, 32 meg, and 64 meg. (Contact wayne@thaddeus.com).

We expect a one to two year supply of used units that by early August, maybe
even a little sooner. We will sell them in all memory configurations from 2
meg to 96 meg.  The pricing for upgraded units will be what is listed on our
web site at www.palmtoppaper.com (plain 2 meg units will probably sell for
$295)  They are EuroEnglish which means they function identically as US
units, but they have extra symbols on the keyboard that remind how to
generate pound signs, umlauts, etc.

By then (hopefully) we should have backlighting, so people might want to
order an additional backlit unit.

The good news is that this guarantees we will be in business for AT LEAST
two more years selling and supporting palmtops, software, and accessories.

This is what Mobilpost is too. A service from my Cellular phone provider
Telenor Mobil.

My emailadress is phonenumber@mobilpost.com but I got
martin@mobilpost.com as an alias..

I would like a free service so I can set up additional emaiadresses and
get a sms when it recevies any email.. I guess you have to pay to have
GMX or have to have a german phonenumber to get the service you got?

We have a more advanced setup. I get max 9 sms's with approx 160
characters for each mail. I also know if it has attachments. I can
reply by sms or forward the mail with sms commands.. I can also send
mail as sms..

It is really great when it works. I can not imagine living without it.
If I am really waiting for a email I can go on with my buisiness
without connecting to the internet all the time to check..

The Mobilpost service is not free. Cost 20 Nok per month, but I have
not paid for years because they have had problems (and still has). My
experience is that when the servicemen are at home or on vacation the
service works great..:-)

Stuff happens that I have no control of, that just slows down the project

Yes, we will be around for along time. However, the Palmtop business must
continue to be profitable (or at least break even) for it to continue. I
just wanted to reassure everyone that without question we will be supporting
200LX users for at least two years (my bet 3 to 4 more years).

I heard quite a lot about Freecell from many people on the list.  It is
really a nice game but for me 42 domino is more interesting.  I found after
hundred of games that its AI amazes me. My partner (by default: Pearl) tends
to be aggresive player some times and at the other times a concervative
player.
I recently record my score with Note Taker and up to now I score 42-35.  I
wish if there is ever a revision of this game (mine is version 1.2), Curtis
will include the scoring system as a matter of record.  Otherwise it is
still a wonderful game.  BIG thanks to Curtis.

By the way, the game can be downloaded at SUPER site.

Hello,
 I just purchased a used 1MB Palmtop PC and have some extra
accessories that I'm putting with this unit to see if I can
sell it all as a package.
 Here is the list of items in the package:

 HP200LX 1MB Palmtop PC with all Manuals
 5MB HP ATA Flash Ram
 HP Connectivity Software with Manual
 Serial Connectivity Cable
 Battery Powered Serial to Parallel Convertor for Printing
 Newton Keyboard (Modified to plug directly into 200LX)
 Zippered Case for Newton Keyboard
 EXP 33.6 ThinFax Modem/Fax with 8MB Flash Ram and external
   battery pack
 CD with all drivers and a backup of configuration for quick
   restoration

 I would like to get $500.00 for this package. I don't need
this unit as I have a double speed 64MB new 200LX just purchased
from Thaddeus and a used 4MB Stock 200LX.

Thanks,

I understood of course what you wanted to say. But the difference is
that the system I talk about does not open the server to look if there
is a new email, but the POP Server itself is active and pages me as
soon as a new message arrives. So I do not have to check my POP3 server
if there is nothing on it. (and I know that before looking at it)

Grandview's manual says about 400k is the limit on a 640k system.

Framework uses virtual memory and I believe its limits are fixed more in
terms of record numbers than by physical byte size.  For example, I think
its limited to 32k rows in a spreadsheet, and perhaps 32k lines of outline
topics.  32k was a magic number, and I don't know that I've ever seen a
filesize limit ... maybe because it'll slow to a crawl long before it gets
close to 32k outline lines.

You don't want FW for just the outlining ... it's overkill.  I've never used
the other two, so I can't comment.

Have you folks seen this one?  The "YOPY" Linux PDA has:

4" TFT colour LCD & backlight
206 MHz 32-bit ARM RISC CPU
32 MB RAM
Mobile Linux OS
Embedded browser & email client
CF slot
MP3 Player
4 Mbps IrDA transceiver
RS232C & USB port
1400mA rechargeable LiIon battery
stylus & handwriting recognition
etc.
etc.

have a look at 
and 

It's apparently slated for release this summer, at around $500(!)

It's another keyboardless-device, so it looks like it'd be a nice thing
to connect to, perhaps via the LX's IR or serial port, or for file transfer
using CF.  Since it also lacks a PCMCIA slot, but has many desirable and
wished-for features not found in the LX, it's interesting to think about how
the two devices might complement rather than replace each other.

Just having some fun: You could apply for a job at Nokia. They are
famous for relasing products very late :-)

They were supposed to release the Nokia 7110 in july 1999 but I got
mine in late january of 2000.. I first saw it in january of 1999..

But the 7110 was worth waiting for and I am sure the backlight will
be also..

Sounds great. I already have a backupunit. But I would like to know if
the memory upgrades will still be availible in the future? I would like
a 32 or a 64mb upgrade, but that will not happen any time soon.

I have been told that the memory upgrades are custom made and therefor
expencive.

I checked the site before posting the URL and had no trouble with the
links I tested? I ordered the program by phone some time ago - if you
call the phone number he will get back to you and if you tell him about
the 404 errors he will investigate them.

Daniel,

you should also check SETCOM at ftp://ftp.dasoft.com/www/setcom.zip

Couldn't you just buy the rights to the 200LX and get someone to make
a few thousand for your own sales inventory? Is HP that tight with
there patents or copy right inventions? Look at the Apollo printers
using HP technology? Or economically is it even worth considering?

I'm sure you could get some entity willing to make you a large number
etc, for the right price?

MaxThink is a great program in many ways, but it is limited vis-a-vis
Grandview in that it doesn't allow colums (a big plus for us Ecco orphans)
and is not Y2K compliant.

MaxThink is one of several DOS programs Neil Larson wrote several years ago,
mostly as a suite of hypertext tools. All of them -- MaxThink, Houdini,
Thesaur, et. al. -- are good in their own way, but are limited in that they
don't interface with each other the way you would expect and are crippled
for use a PIM due to the Y2K problem.

I bought all of Larson's programs when I discovered them and spend many
enjoyable hours playing with them, even had several terrific conversations
with Neil, but I no longer use the software.

Hope this helps.

Been to the site and crawled all over it. The author sounds
like a smart man, and he describes the paradigm most
convincingly, but he never seems to describe the program. There
are no (that I could find) screen shots, feature lists or a
demo. Are you in a position to compare it to, say, GrandView?
Did you get the chance to try before you buy(ed!)?

Thanks for any info.

I've seen this ad pop up frequently on the list, and the
wording (correct me if I'm wrong) always seems to be
the same, as if it's a robot generated repeater.. Being
interested in buying a mid-sized card, I'd like to hear a
bit of feedback from a few actual customers (or other)
before I drop my hard-earned cash in the mail.

Please this is a serious inquiry, I think 40-80megs
will suit my purposes well.  I am a Thaddeus buyer,
but the difference in price here is remarkable.

Hello T. McCoy, Well I can assure you I am not a robot. I just type a similar
ad every week and present what I have to offer and I usually get a great
response to it so that is why I  use pretty much the same wording. Feel free
to ask our  HPLX group or any of the people who have bought from  anything
you like and if you are interested please feel free to email me back and let
me know and  I will hold any disks I have available for you until I receive
your payment.  Thanks alot!    Scott

The 48 meg c.f. card I bought from Scott made life with my
200lX very nice -- no more swapping those little 20 meg
cards.  I fully intend to buy another one from him as soon
as my budget allows.  He kept me apprised of when he
received payment and when he mailed the card.  And delivery
was --> fast <--.

It is an `ad' which appears regularly, and given this newsgroup there
would likely be objection to it if it were not for the fact that
apparently the products and prices are both so good that people
regard it as almost a `service'.

AFAIK, It is safe to say that (1) lots of deals have been made; (2) only a very
few involved a `hitch' of any kind; and (3) apparently these were all dealt
with to the satisfaction of those involved.

Hi Don
This "YOPI" is an amazing technology leap being 206mHz colour at only
62% of the size of a 200LX - yes its a pity about the lack of keyboard
and sure the battery life will be daily rather than weekly recharge.

If that Mobile ARM-Linux OS software proves to be better than CE
(shouldnt be too hard) and there is a good database software there may
be a few LX'ers switching...

Do you know what to do when you reach that?  I think there is a file
linking command, but I don't yet understand it.   Also, I do believe
the limit is the combination of open files in memory, not just one file.

Hi Longden.  I know you posted some about this already, but could you
comment some more about the paradigm of Frameworks, and why
you think it's so great for your purposes?

InfoSelect has a theoretical limit of 32 megs, but I don't know how that
would work
since the file is loaded into memory.   My larges file was 200k, before I
splitted it.
Now my largest is 85k.   The largest window size is 32k.

I don't have the manual handy, so someone else migh be able to explain
the
32 meg thing better than me.

I used the wrong word.  They are keyboard templates, made of cardboard
usually.  You don't see those much with Windows machines if at all,
but there were many produced for DOS programs.  They fit over the
function keys, and have printed commands for a program above and below
the keys.  A now defunct company sold them for the hplx.  I don't know
who
made them.   My desktop pc at work has a template for WordPerfect for
DOS.   I have seen them for all the major DOS programs (Lotus 123,
MsWorks, Dbase, Paradox, and so on), but not much anymore.

I am not yet sure of the usefulness of the columns, but I sure like
Grandview a lot.
There was no Ecco for DOS ever, was there?

Grandview is supposed to not be either, but I have not seen anything
wrong yet
(not even with the calendar function).  Do you know exactly what goes
wrong
with Maxthink that is enough not to be able to use it?

I wonder why the site is still up then.  He doesn't have a Y2k disclosure
statement posted.   He seems to be somewhat of a programming rebel.
I wonder if that would extend to the Y2K issue.

It sure does, thanks!

I made my own for wordPerfect using a color photocopier and
some clear contact plastic tape stuff.

I reduced my official wp5.1 guide and it works fine.  I have
one for 1-2-3 2.3 for dos reduced using a B&W photocopier.

The 1-2-3 I attached to the palmtop the WP51 I carry in my

Michael,

I am confused why you think an outliner should be able to act as a PIM?
Additionally Ecco was a Windows, not a Dos product? If you miss Ecco why not try
Zoot - Tom Davis is trying to help Ecco fans as much as possible. Of
course Zoot is a Windows program and doesn't run on the palmtop either.

I have never had a copy of Grandview and so can not compare with it. I
use both the President's Planner add on to Lotus Agenda and Andreas
Garzotto's PIM for my PIM needs on the palmtop. Either of these is head
and shoulders above the functionality of Maxthink for a PIM but neither
of these is suited to idea development/outline development in the
manner that Maxthink is.

I have used Maxthink to develop a number of outlines without trouble
since the beginning of the year but then they do not use dates. I just
tried the date stamp and it gives today as 100/4/29. Perhaps you could
be more specific as to what the Y2K issue is with Maxthink and how it
impacts the functionality of the program?

Framework is an integrated package of applications, similar to MS Works, MS
Office, Lotus Suite all of which it precursed.  As such, it's more suited
for developing a report from the start of organizing the research to the
final publication, as compared to a plain outliner, particularly if the
report includes imbedded charts and spreadsheets.

FW uses the outline paradigm to help you organize the elements of the
report, and it's conceptually similar to using Windows Explorer in detail
view with its hierarchical trees to collapse and expand.  Now think of a
single DOS directory as holding all the stuff in your paper ...
spreadsheets, databases, graphs and of course word processing documents.
Each chapter would probably be a sub-directory level, and each file could be
descriptively named such as "Graph of the sales of 200LX's over the last 10
years".  That's what FW is like.  If all the files in the directory were
word processing docs, you'd be better off using any outliner.  The
integration of dissimilar file types is what makes FW exceptional.

Now working with the elements in Explorer or any outliner (moving, deleting,
renaming) is a cinch (as it is with FW), but when your're ready to publish
the results, or want to do global changes in your report, it gets a bit
messier (actually impossible) in Explorer, but not in FW ... since all the
elements are loaded in memory at the same time (yeah, FW juggles
spreadsheet, database, etc all at once ... that's why it can be a pig)...
and all the elements are saved as one DOS file.  The outline gets turned
into the Table of Contents (with page numbers) for printing.

Or alternatively, you can just build an outline of items (brainstorming) as
with any outliner, but the difference is that when your ideas coalesce into
a solid outline form ... with most outliners,  this becomes a plan for
action ... with FW, it becomes the "framework" ... the skeleton, since you
can now go "into" the line items and where you had one called "Spreadsheet
of cost vs profit for D&A", you actually turn that into a spreadsheet.  FW
encourages top-down development... you literally write your textbook
starting from the table of contents (the outline).

If all I had to do were straight word processing, I'd probably never use FW
... word processing based outliners are plenty good enough (and probably
better than FW)... but I made lots of spreadsheets in my time, and it was
always reassuring to have it done in FW where I was able to imbed it in an
outline along with a wordprocessing doc to explain how to use it and the
assumptions.  Or likewise create a simple database and have accompanying
text to explain the fields and where the data came from.  You could do this
without FW, but it would take multiple files.  Conceptually, a FW file is
similar to a downloaded Zip file ... usually with a bunch of readme's and an
assortment of other related files.

That FW has its own programming language (FRED) is also a big plus.
Functions that don't exist in FW can sometimes be developed with FRED (as
I've done often enough).

It lacks the polish of the modern applications, but as they said in their
advertisements, FW is better than the sum of its parts.  I use FW as a
foundation for anything really big, and when the main layout is done, I
export the pieces to Word and Excel for polish ... this sounds like (and is)
a lot of work, but I find that getting the right ideas organized quickly at
the onset is better than trying to do it while fretting the petty details of
the appearance.

However, as I don't this kind of work that much anymore, FW has become less
important to me .. but it's still usually the tool I turn to when the
occasional research paper is needed.

Domingo,

Larson is indeed a programming rebel. He doesn't particularly care what
people think of him and sees the site he built as a quasi-useful relic, in
the way that some people find certain old and outdated textbooks useful.

Somewhere on the site you'll find his number. He never answers the phone but
will always call you back if you leave a message. Like I said, he is a very
interesting guy and says he is working on a Windows version of MaxThink, but
is in no hurry to get it out -- he programs (and hires other programers)
mostly for his own uses -- and has no interest in updating any of his DOS
products.

He claims (I believe him but could never completely figure it out) that you
can make his DOS hypertext programs do almost anything if you understand the
use for each one and employ them in concert -- or rather, contiguously.

I spent about $360 on his software over 2 months in $80 increments and
became quite infatuated with it as I began fitting the pieces together. He
threw in the last two components for free and was thrilled that I was giving
it a go.  A one point, though, when I documented the shortcomings and made
suggestions, he made it clear that his programs are what they are and that
is all they will ever be.

Couple more things in response to your other questions --

- Ecco was never a DOS program to my knowledge, and I switched back to the
200lx and DOS when Ecco died.

- Columns make Grandview much more than an outliner, giving it the same kind
of three-dimensionality that makes spreadsheets so useful, with the caveat
that it only allows three columns.

Gary,

I use Grandview as a PIM because I like to do all my thinking in one place,
and it is the only DOS program I have found that allows me to do that on the
200lx.

In a limited way, Grandview will do many of the same things Agenda does. It
has an auto-associative categorizing capability and each outline you create
can be considered a "view" in the sense that different column configurations
are possible and hypertext links may easily be created between outlines.

However, items entered into one outline do not automatically become
available in an other, so each outline is really more like an Agenda app
than a view. There is a clone feature that allows for the same item to
appear in other outlines and reflect any updates or changes made to that
item in all of them -- a feature derived, I believe, from a poorly developed
option of MaxThink.

In fact, Symantic clearly spent some time with MaxThink before putting
Grandview together, because it uses the best of the concepts Neil Larson
developed and even includes the ability to import from and export to
MaxThink.

The idea behind using Grandview as both an outliner and a PIM is not unlike
that of using Agenda -- the focus is on the development of ideas, rather
than the tracking of daily info in a cool PIM. You sacrafice some of the
slicker calendar, ToDo and contact features, including appointment alarms,
but gain tremendously in the area of concise thought development, which was
Larson's original intent in developing MaxThink.

I have also tried PE/PIM and Flexpad; I think they are brilliant programs
and love them both in their own way (I will always check out a new release
of each) but prefer Grandview for now because I am an outline-list-making
thinker and it is far superior in that regard.

Zoot, as you mentioned, is a Windows program. I was an Agenda user at one
point (bought an unopened Version 2 box on ebay ), so I got very excited
when I first tried Zoot, but it seemed to get more complicated and less
intuitive with each incarnation. Either that, or I simply have not devoted
enough time to figuring it out.

Agenda -- the much-revered and mighty King of the category for DOS
users --ultimately disappoints because of its slow performance once 750
items or so have been entered into an app.

InfoHandler is the closest Windows program I've found to Agenda, and, like
Zoot, is still being actively developed. However, its author has noted
(wisely) that a DOS version doesn't make economic sense. Too bad, because a
DOS version of InfoHandler with the addition of Grandview-like outlining
capability and better PIM features, would tempt me away in a heartbeat.

Meanwhile, I remain in awe of Grandview and have a theory as to why it
hasn't yet been offered as freeware: It is Y2K okay, works perfectly fine in
Windows 3.x, 95, 98, and remains sophisticated enough to keep someone like
me from buying any Windows imitation of it that Symantic may develop in the
future.

I recommemd Psion. It has:

Many levels (I think like 12)
Hints (suggests a move)
Force computer to move before it's done thinking
Take-back and play-back for all steps of the game.
Save / load game
Setup pieces (to start a game in the middle or practice scenarios)
3-D view (pretty but not as practical as above-view)
Flip view (to look at board from either side)


It plays very well on the LX. If I remember, I trimmed it down to less than 200k - theres the biggish .exe and a couple large .ovl files pluse a handfull of smaller files.

Just remember to invert the screen of the LX or you'll really be scratching your head about why the pieces are set up wrong.

I can't remember where I got it. - I think the nice fellow's site which has win 2.03 and the O.S. Card, Pournelle/Niven, and other novels is the one. I am sure he's on the list and will provide the URL.

Hi,

I'm replying to my own message once again, as I got some detailed answers=
 to
my question in de.comm.software.mailreader.

t in

> =3D?ISO-8859-1?Q?G=3DFCnther_Eisele_?=3D

Here is the explanation in my own words: There are 2 different ways to
encode 8bit chars: quoted printable (the Q after 8859-1?) and base64 (the=
 B
in the first from header). Base64 encodes every character, qp only 8bit
chars. Base64 is more efficient for binary data, quoted printable is
recommended by the standard for headers and normal text, as it's still
readable by pure ascii mailclients.=20

I also got the information that the standard obliges mail clients to
decode both encodings, which means as a consequence that post/lx is not
conforming to the standard here.

Luckily I can configure The Bat! to use qp encoding, which lets my from
header look like _not_ coming from Mars ;-)

Bye

Thanks to all who gave suggestions and help on and off-list regarding my
stolen 200lx.  The matter was resolved by our adjuster and the check is
on the way.  Thought I'd fill in the details for those who may face a
similar circumstance.

The insurance company was St. Paul Marine and they accepted my valuations
based on the HP website.  I'd pulled the page where HP announces the
discontinuation of the HP200lx and suggests users migrate to the Jornada
680.  I coupled that with a printout of the current list price for the
J680 from the HP page.  After deductible, we're being sent a check for
around $800.

It might be a good idea to print out the press release from HP (search
their site for 200lx) and put it with the file that contains your
purchase reciept and serial number.  It may come in handy and you can't
count on it being on the site forever.

Thanks to all.

Larry

PS - The worst part of the whole incident was that I was without laptop
or 200 so I had to type a 30 page paper on a Compaq C120 (WinCE 1.0).
Suprisingly, it worked quite well for simple HTML though the lack of
macros is an unnecessary pain.

The file linking is to enable you to quickly open another outline that you have "linked" to
the current headline.  The effect is to have the item in this outline a step more remote than
a collapsed headline.  They are ready to "goto" and consult or edit and "return" with a click of
a couple of keys.  I haven't had the need to use this feature, but I understand it allows a level of
detail to be kept that you don't wish to be in the printed output of the outline.

It doesn't help if you are trying to handle a larger volume of data, because opening the "linked"
outline requires enough memory to hold it.  If you have that memory free, you still have room in
the original outline.

There is a utility to allow you to open larger documents - called dbsplit it breaks a large file into
as many as 32 smaller files (all of a size Grandview can digest.

I just got my Rex-3. I have transferred the Hplx notebooks to the
device. But I do not have the dockingstation and I have to return the
laptop I got tomorrow.

I would really like to know how the Hplx/Rex project are going. The
Hplx is the only pcmcia reader/writer I got now so it would be nice to
update the card with new data..

Regards

Those of you using mice or other pointing devices, what drivers are you
using?  I have a Logitech mini-trackball but the drivers that came with it
are for Windows & DOS with extended memory.  I'd like to get a Logitech
mouse driver for the LX.

TIA,

Team 200LX, Vancouver

My Infoselect database is about 900K.  The theoretical limit is 32 MB, but
this would be way too slow on the LX.  Infoselect is very fast because it
loads the entire database into memory (does not search a disk
file).  Because of this, you need to have EMS to load larger database
files.  Based on the speed of Infoselect on my doublespeed LX, I would
estimate that 1.5- 2 MB would be about the largest database you could
reasonably work with on a 2X speed machine; half that for a 1X speed
machine.  I am told that 32 MB machines are faster, so maybe they could
use larger database files.

Earlier, I believe someone was asking about how Infoselect works.  You
enter text as you would on a scrap of paper (although these scraps can be
quite large if you like; I think that 32K is the maximum size).  Your
database consists of tens/hundreds/thousands of these scraps.  I seem to
recall that the program refers these scraps as "windows."

To find items, you do a keyword search, and IS will bring up all windows
containing that word.  Unfortunately, to search for multiple words, it is
a two-step process: Search for the first word, then search those entries
containing the first word for the second word.  However, if you are good
about what you search for, you can get a reasonable number of matches and
then just flip through them to find the specific window that has
information you need.

The program also has some other features, such as linking from one window
to another (although I find this interface a little clunky), forms
(useful for multiple entries that have similar formats), printing, and a
number of other things.  Myself, I just use it to search my big database
of random information.  I think its speed and ease of use are the main
features I like.  The ability to use quite large databases is also a plus,
as well as the ability to have multiple databases (but only one open at a
time).  Once my own database gets too gigantic, I may decide to split it
up into smaller, more specialized, files.

Cheers.

OS X *server* has been available for some months. OS X *client* has
been eagerly awaited for the same months. It HAD been announced for
4Q00.

It has TRUE PREEMPTIVE multitasking (which, I am compelled to point
out, has been available in the Amiga's operating system since 1985,
when it could multitask in color with 512K of memory and 1 floppy
drive (!)).

OS X also has memory protection, however, which is a GREAT improvement as well.

Subject:      Keyboard Drivers

Almost two years ago I heard about a proposed project either here or on
Compuserve to create a device which would allow a regular PS2 keyboard to
be used with the 200lx.  That project obviously never came of anything
and the product remains vaporware.  Almost...

The Happy Hacking Cradle (
http://www.pfuca.com/products/hhkb/hhcindex.html ) for Palm devices
allows you to drop your Palm in the cradle, hook up any keyboard
(including the rollup keyboard - http://www.man-machine.com/keybrd1.htm )
and type away.  It even has a "pass-through" port so you can still use
the modem when attached to the cradle.

I wonder why an adapter cord or even an internal modification to the unit
wouldn't allow it to be used for the 200lx?  The Palm has a well
documented RS232 port so there probably isn't anything tricky in the
connection.  The only issue would appear to be the keyboard driver.  I
know nothing about such things but wouldn't that be relatively
straight-forward?  After all, its been done for the Jornada and Newton
keyboards.

Thanks for the summary of Grandview.

The reason I use both Agenda and Andreas's PIM is becuase of speed
limtations of Agenda. I also keep my Agenda files on a flashcard that I
can move between the palmtop and an OB800. That way I can ensure most
of cpu work done by President's Planner takes place on the 800 rather
than the 200LX.

You also forgot to mention that the author of InfoHandler is working on
both import and export of Agenda stf files - an important potential
consideration for many people here.

Don,
  There is a new mouse driver on the Super Site. This is a tiny mouse driver
that is supposed to function with your logitech mouse. You can find it at the
Super Site listed as:

Cute Mouse Driver

Take care,
