There are some people who reported damage to the HP when connected with wrong polarity. I have a rather new unit (built in 1999) and it did not make harm to it. But maybe older units do not have a protection against wrong polarity. Be careful if you cannot find out if this is the case in your Palmtop. (I tried my unit with an ampere meter in line and control of current flowing - there was _no_ current in the wrong polarity) Unregulated power supplies are cheap but they deliver to high voltage, that produces heat in your palmtop and is a waste of energy. I recommand a switching power supply, they are small and light weight, save energy and your Palmtop stays pretty cool and save. 73!

I've just had a sniff around the web, and according to the South Aus government site for this year Tasmania is having daylight saving the same dates as NSW, Victoria and ACT, from 27/8/2000 to 25/3/2001. South Australia is slightly different 29/10/2000 to 25/3/2001. WA, QLD and NT don't have daylight saving. So I guess for 2000-2001 that makes it: NSW VIC TAS ACT 3:25-31 6 0:00 8:25-31 6 1:00 South Australia 3:25-31 6 0:00 10:25-31 6 1:00 I haven't yet found out the exact dates for next year (2001-2002). I presume all states that have daylight saving will revert to the same dates as used by South Australia. Maybe "Australia" is a better name than "South Australia", minimises the changes next year and saves confusion. > The times for the european DST in your file is correct. Thanks for that.

Yes, I also tried the /host mode of BGFAX, but this one also doesn't work with the S35 by now - unfortunately I cannot see where the problem is... The dial string cannot be the problem here. I get the error message "connection not established", when I try to send or receive faxes. Seems if my phone doesn't react to an ATA command... BGFax shows ATA, but the phone keeps ringing...

I figured the question deserved to be answered for the entire list. Yes, I now have several different ways of identifying duplicates among the files. The latest Windows-based program from PC Magazine is a free program called Dupeless (ftp://ftp2.zdnet.com/pub/private/sWlIB/utilities/file_utilities/dupeless.zi p) and it does a very good job, allowing comparisons based on size, contents, name, and date. It's most useful when I have the time to perform a thorough clean-up to eliminate wasted space. Obviously, it won't run on the palmtop, but since I always backup to my notebook anyway, it's a workable solution. It's a complete environment that lets you find duplicates and delete the copy you want. Still another method is to use ZtreeWin (an OUTSTANDING piece of shareware, a text-mode program written for Windows - http://www.ztree.com/html/ztreewin.htm) and sort files by size, then compare their contents using the supplied file comparison routine (called with the Jfc command). If they are identical, it says so right away. If there are differences, they are highlighted in a side-by-side comparison, using a program called Tadzio's File Compare (tfc - http://www.zedtek.com/download/tfc221.zip). This method is most useful when I have only a little time and I want to reclaim some disk space by attacking the biggest targets. On the palmtop itself, the shareware program DFL - for Duplicate File Locator (http://www.filelibrary.com:8080/cgi-bin/registered/download/DOS/h/50/dfl340 .zip) does a pretty good job, except that it refuses to work with the files on drive A:, assuming it can't be a significant drive (At least that's true of V3.40 from 1993. If there's a newer version, I haven't seen it.). That's a problem for my purposes because I have a large (30 MB) compact flash card as my drive A:. So before I run DFL I have to remember to use 'ASSIGN E:=A:'. A second issue is its default color settings make it hard to read. Using MONO8025 to try to correct for this is disastrous -- the program runs, but nothing is visible onscreen, so I just have to adjust the screen contrast from time to time so I can read what I need to. Sometimes the simplest tool is best. There is an old command-line duplicate file finder from PC Magazine (or maybe it was PC-Computing) called TwinFind (1994). It doesn't provide an environment for deciding which files to keep or discard, but just produces a list you can output to a file or printer and handle as you like. While a later version for Windows is available online, there doesn't seem to be a copy of the original DOS program out there anymore. I have a copy of this from an old CDROM, and would be happy to supply it to you if you want.

He mentioned using SUBST instead of ASSIGN and, in fact, I first tried to enter the SUBST command when I tried DFL, but found HP had not included it in the DOS software on the ROM. Then I tried JOIN, but it wasn't there either. When I had to fall back on ASSIGN, I figured everyone will have that.

Your choice of programs has been fortunate then. Some older programs (I run Framework) have a problem with dealing with the A drive as anything other than a floppy drive. For those programs, spoofing the A drive as E is the only solution ... and really probably the reason HP included ASSIGN on the LX. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 3 Sep 2000 00:31:59 +0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "R.S."

My brother uses a 64 MB Sandisc CF card in hin 100LX. He tried a 48 MB card (if I remember correctly) and this one didn't work. So it seems to depend on coincidence - another list member said he uses a 48 MB card without problems... So TRY a card before you buy it!

It may just be that the 100LX (or maybe that particular ROM version) had drivers that were a lot pickier whereas later ROM versions (including the 200LX) may have more "robust" drivers to handle more variations in the PCMCIA spec. I even had an 8mb CF card (from my Canon camera) that worked on my unaltered 2mb 200LX, but failed to get recognized (using the same PCMCIA adapter) on my upgraded 6mb/2x 200LX.

I'm not sure what > these fees are or how this works. I didn't read that far. In order to discourage an inventor or company from using a patent just to prevent a product from being introduced on the market, the US Patent Office requires a fee to be paid at regular intervals. I am not sure of the timing or the amount, but it is a large enough amount to discourage even large companies from maintaining patents they are not using. A good number of the 30 patents I have obtained while working for a large US company have been abandoned prior to 17 years due to the requirement to pay the fee.

Do you intend to charge the batteries in your 200LX or outside your 200LX. I would recommend removing the batteries and placing them in a solar battery charger. You also could get a solar panel designed for 12V output and connect that to the AC adapter port on your 200LX, but that would be less efficient than using a solar charger designed for AA cells.

Fdisk100 says "Fdisk is not needed on Drive A:", FORMAT says anything like "unrecognized format". In my 200LX the card worked out of the box without formatting. Despite this I formatted it in the 200LX. The 100 would still not recognize the card. I for myself came to the conclusion that it is a low level hardware or ROM/BIOS problem.

The latest estimates are that life has existed on earth for significantly more than three billion years.

If it's a Linux or Unix machine on the other side, call the mail program mail then let it show the headers with h then see what number the message has (probably 1 if it6S the only one in the box) then delete it with d 1 and exit with quit That's it.

Given that the functionality is there, waiting to be enabled by a setting in a configuration file, I wonder how this helps POST/LX stay small. But it's purely curiosity as I don't do e-mail from the palmtop (save using it as a terminal). However, as a counter-example: I remembered stories about TGV (which used to be in the TCP/IP for VMS business) running a VMS-based SMTP server that would reject non-822-conformant mail, so I inquired with some friends who used to work there, and it turns out that one of its developers continues to run that SMTP server within his new company. I was e-mailed a captured session of it rejecting a message without a Date: header. Perhaps fortunately, not many SMTP server authors have the same design criteria, and this particular server is apparently not very widespread in ISP environments today. More importantly, the Date: header in an 822 message should be generated by the the program that the user is using to compose the message and commit it for sending, because that program knows when the user took action to send the message, and the transport agent may not. Suppose you've come home from a night on the town and by 3:30 AM have managed to compose your ravings as an e-mail message, but are too tired/drunk/high to get the X-Jack connector to pop out so don't actually dial up your ISP and hand the message off to the SMTP server. The following afternoon, having sort of slept it off, you discover the palmtop and remember that you use it to get e-mail, but not remember much of the events of the previous night, so that you go get all the bits connected and dial up. Your forgotten message of 3:30 AM now gets sent, say at 2:15 PM.

There is a file created called mail.old. In it is the email id of the message that has not been fully downloaded and deleted. On subsequent runs, what you can do is delete the mail.old (or whatever mailbox it is in) and the whole message will be downloaded again - and if all goes well, it will also be deleted on the POP3 server after the download is successful.

My normal (standard compliant) mailer sets a date, so I normally don't have the choice. An advantage of the own date is that you _know_ that you set the correct date and time - you can't be sure if the mail server does this right (summertime, 29 Feb 2000 etc.).

It was smaller before that :) > More importantly, the Date: header in an 822 message should be > generated by the the program that the user is using to compose the > message and commit it for sending, because that program knows when the > user took action to send the message, and the transport agent may not. It makes no difference really - with ForceDate=3D1 the Date: header is given a body *when* the message is *sent*, not when it is was composed. This date should be roughly co-eval with the timestamp that the SMTP server could provide. Does your client date-stamp the message *when* it is composed? I would have thought if you were concerned about that you'd just put a date on the message body. > Your forgotten message of 3:30 AM now > gets sent, say at 2:15 PM.

But it's purely curiosity as I don't do e-mail from the > palmtop (save using it as a terminal). One part of the answer is that the less stuff is in the CFG file, the less memory the CFG file takes in memory. That memory is EXTREMELY precious. Also obviously it is clear as "Duh!" that the program is not smaller. That function is there, period. However, the CFG in memory may be smaller! The second part of the answer has to do with the timezone setting and the whole date setup in millions of clients vs. setting it up in a few thousand SMTP servers. Clearly, it is easier to do in a few thousand servers. Andreas argues that it is easier for the few servers to do - in the grand scheme of things - than for millions of email clients. It is a logical argument, although in reality it is not adopted by ISPs - some, but not all. The issue for ISPs is to make the servers run as efficiently as possible, and shaving ANY instruction is a popular move with them. Interpreting RFC822 regarding the date to say that it is the obligation of the client shaves instructions from the server, and so they adopt that interpretation. BTW, the RFC text is not THAT cut and dry. And in fact, that is why the Force-Date is there. > However, as a counter-example: I remembered stories about TGV (which > used to be in the TCP/IP for VMS business) running a VMS-based SMTP > server that would reject non-822-conformant mail, so I inquired with > some friends who used to work there, and it turns out that one of its > developers continues to run that SMTP server within his new company. > I was e-mailed a captured session of it rejecting a message without a > Date: header.

I inserted the card (in a pcmcia adaptor) in my MAC 520 powerbook and got a "unreadable disk, format?" message. Since then I have tried the card in several other pcmcia devices (200LX, omnibook 425, external USB reader) with no sucess. I tried running some disk utoilities on the MAC but the old copy of Norton Utilities I have couldn't even see the card. Has anyone had any luck with retrieving data from these cards?

We have been kept very busy testing, cleaning, refurbishing palmtops as they come in from Holland, doing our normal repair and upgrade business, and processing new orders. There has been a pent up demand for palmtops, and orders have come in faster than expected. Unfortunately, it takes new trainee's 2 to 3 months to come up to speed, so we can't really hire anyone for the short run. So, we are REALLY thankful for your patience with us. If I were a customer, I would like to know the status of my order, but it would really help a lot if you didn't call in to ask where is my palmtop. We are probably 3 weeks behind processing new orders, although we have tried to keep to our normal one week turn-around repair and upgrade commitment. All pre-orders have been filled.

It has a color display that is gorgeous! It is also backlit and has several intensity levels. It is WinCE and the batteries last about 5.5 hours. He plugged in a 340mb microdrive to hold his mp3 files (it plays mp3s too) and the batteries dropped to about 1.5 hours. He switched to the Casio from a Palm. I'm sticking with my 200LX-32m but that display did impress me. Cheers...

Palm, Jornadas, Psion, Sharp and so forth again there is really nothing which can touch the flexibility of the 200LX, I just came from a database session with it, outstanding this little machine. You can forget them all, all windows, CE and so on. I still can't believe it why HP has done this to their LX community, cancel the 200LX .I doubt that the sales figures of the Jornadas will ever reach the success of the LX, does anyone have info on that ?? If they want it or not the 200LX will survive with or without backlight !! I strongly believe it and lets all fight for it it is worth to do it, that little machine!!

On Sunday last I got a HP VGA monitor at a charity fete and an older monitor, which had been attached to a Commodore Amiga, which may be a CGA; it has a nine pin D shaped female socket which looks compatible with the XT. I tried a few places today for a nine pin cable, but only saw VGA (12 pins). A bit more searching will probably turn up an old cable, but is it possible to adapt the XT (which runs DOS 3.0) for the VGA monitor. Any suggestions please?

My reasons for supplementing my hplx with a Palm instead of a Wince machine are: 1-Battery life comparable to the HP200LX (somewhat), with off the shelf batteries. 2-Compact flash support (TrgPro only). 3-Incredible third-party support. and, after the fact, 4-iSilo!! Since this is not a Palm list, I will not gloat about it. Suffices to say that I no longer read etexts on my hplx. I have the hplx manual and the entire hplx palmtop paper in iSilo format in my TrgPro, with plenty of room to spare (it preserves all the html links and images!). It has the highest compression ratio of any Palm etext format.

Well, the 200LX will last an hour or two with a PCMCIA modem, the TrgPro with Microdrive, a minute or two (not useful). A CF modem will have better luck in a TrgPro, but will not last as long as in the 200LX. > I'm not an LX "internalist" myself either. I always figured it for magic.

Already out since Sept. 1, and I am using one of these 1GB drives, but not on a palmtop. Price now is $499. Supplies may be hard to come by, since they are just now filling the supply pipelines. Price will probably drop to the $350 (that's $0.35 per Megabyte, folks!) range in 6 months. The Palmtop simply ignored it - and I believe it is because it needs some special driver. Runs with no problems on W98. It is exactly like a Compact Flash type I except thicker, thus CF Type II. Requires a special CF Type II adapter which then fits neatly into the Palmtop slot. If a driver exists to run it in the Palmtop that would be extremely cool. I currently use a 512MB PCMCIA ATA and despite valiant attempts, it has not been filling up! ... But a 1GB on board would be just too, too cool! In case you do not know, there is also a 512MB Microdrive released at this time, $399, I believe. This adds to the 340MB and 170MB. This is an amazing miniaturization: inside is an actual rotating disk drive. When you hold it, it is hard to believe ... I understand there are larger capacities in the works at some level of development. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2000 23:44:59 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , A Meshar Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Meshar Subject: Re: ibm micordrive Comments: To: Mark Johnson MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Mark, In itself it won't exactly fit because it is a CF format.

I am using the Part HP F1011A power adaptor, which delivers 12v regulated supply, to charge the batteries in the LX.

For software there are some excellent freeware that can be downloaded from the SUPER site. I am using Peniel Romanelli's Charge-It! battery charging controller/monitor. I also use a 416 byte BAT.COM from Jorgen Dybdahl's Charging, which can show the state (in percentages) of your main and backup batteries in the LX. Thanks to the help of the list members here, I have learnt that it is best to allow the NiMH batteries to drop to around 2.3 to 2.4 volts before charging again. A pair of NiMH should last several years in the LX. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2000 23:37:44 +1200 Reply-To: palmtop@ihug.co.nz Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: John Subject: I still can't believe why HP cancelled the HP200LX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi michael I understand that Microsoft stopped HP from continuing to use DOS as it was competing too successfully with WinCE That is what stopped the HP200LX so suddenly - the MS Monopoly again!

Compared to the early Omnibooks (300-530, which all had non-backlit mono screens ... ala LX) the 800's color display (even at full intensity) is a plain washed out embarrassment in bright sunlight, where the mono screens perform MUCH better.

Already out since Sept. 1, and I am using one of these 1GB drives, but not on a palmtop. Price now is $499. Supplies may be hard to come by, since they are just now filling the supply pipelines. Price will probably drop to the $350 (that's $0.35 per Megabyte, folks!) range in 6 months. The Palmtop simply ignored it - and I believe it is because it needs some special driver. Runs with no problems on W98. It is exactly like a Compact Flash type I except thicker, thus CF Type II. Requires a special CF Type II adapter which then fits neatly into the Palmtop slot. If a driver exists to run it in the Palmtop that would be extremely cool. I currently use a 512MB PCMCIA ATA and despite valiant attempts, it has not been filling up! ... But a 1GB on board would be just too, too cool! ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2000 18:13:21 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Thomas Pottjegort Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Thomas Pottjegort Subject: Re: AportisDoc files Is there an HPLX reader for these?

HP never marketed it. a. Corvallis didn't know how / didn't have money. b. When Singapore took over, it poured profits into creating/marketing OmniGo then Windows CE devices. NIH (Not invented here) for Singapore. They didn't have any of the engineers that created the HP 200LX and I suspect they never got complete documentation. 2. Singapore felt that the 200LX platform would never hit big time like DeskJets etc -- millions of units per year. Too geeky. They felt that an "industry standard" O.S. was essential for PDA's to hit big. 3. With no marketing (actually negative marketing since in the last years they didn't even tell people where they could buy it, and retailers said it wasn't sold any more), and no commitment, sales plummeted the last couple of years. 4. Older parts such as screens became very hard to get/ very expensive to purchase in relatively small quantities. 5. HP wanted to put all its efforts in to marketing CE devices. ----- Personal comments -- HP Jornada 680 -- nice machine in many ways but too bulky HP Pocket PC 540 -- has a lot of redeeming characteristics and its potential reminds me of the HP 200LX. However, the HP 200LX wins a. Size b. Durability c. Keyboard d.

While I thought the HPLX is a great tool - but there were a lot of things I could not do. I could not enter data for use with Quicken 2000, I could not browse the web, I could not access my 128 bit SSL secured Webmail that I need to access for work, and I could not look at the attachments I received in email if they were Office type documents. I find the Libretto is an acceptable compromise with respect to how I use the unit as both a PDA and a laptop. The double speed upgrade was not difficult to do, though it is a bit harder than the HPLX double speed upgrade. The upgrade simply requires soldering a jumper on the mother board, but the area is small, and concentrated. I did have to use a magnifying glass after soldering to inspect the work for adequacy. There is a web page that provides excellent directions on how to do the upgrade, and I would be happy to answer any questions. Cost of the unit - I bought mine on ebay for a bit more than $700, and then paid $89 to upgrade the memory from 32MB to 64MB. The memory upgrade install is simple, just a snap into place card. Unit has two PCMCIA slots as well. Overall, I am very happy with the unit. I think that the utility provided by the increased hardware is a better compromise for me than the HPLX. Don't get me wrong - I still think the HPLX is the best PDA out there - it outdoes the Libretto with the instant on feature - but for me, this is the best compromise so that I carry only one machine. If there are particular issues that I didn't answer or you have further questions, let me know. Thanks to Gerhard Gonter for volunteering to take over FFDB and ccLXPOP.

As with any review, it is important to understand the biases of the reviewer, so I'll provide some background. My requirements are as follows: 1. Form factor - I require the unit to fit into a standard day planner, along with a standard 8x5 steno pad. 2. Batteries must provide one full day of use - I don't have a problem with having to charge every night - though I haven't had to do that necessarily. 3. Ability to synchronize with Outlook efficiently. 4. Keyboard input - I looked at the PocketPCs, but was unimpressed with the ability to input information into the unit. This was one of the HPLXs great strengths. 5. Quick wake up time. 6. (Optional) Office suite application capability. The Libretto meets all of the requirements, some better than others. The used unit I bought came with two of the extended life Lithium Ion batteries, and I get about 4 hours of 'on time' use from each one - I have yet to need more than one for a whole day, and actually had one last four days. My system configuration is as follows: 64MB memory (max allowed for 100CT), 2 GB Hard drive, Windows 2000, Office 2000, Quicken 2000, and a couple of other cats and dogs. I performed the double speed upgrade of my unit (more on that below) which is now a 266MHz Pentium MMX Processor. I plan on putting a bigger hard drive in it soon, but still have over 500Mb of free disk space. Windows 2000 is great overall (I use it on my home desktop and have yet to crash it) and great on this machine. All of the power management functions are built in, and with the BIOS update for the 100CT that Toshiba has available on their web site, Windows 2000 interfaces seamlessly with the Libretto. I simply open the display to turn it on, and close the display to put the unit in standby. The standby mode take VERY little power, on the order of 3-4 percent of the battery over 10 hours. Wake up time WITH THE DOUBLE SPEED is an acceptable (though many of you will find exception to this) 12 seconds. There is a similar unit (Casio Fiva) which actually has better hardware than the Libretto overall, but their BIOS does not support the standby mode, so there is a two minute boot up process- that is obviously unacceptable. I have not found the twelve second delay onerous or even bothersome. The display is simply fantastic. I have yet to find an environment where I could not clearly see the display - and this has included a window seat in sunlight on a plane. I could see the display fine. It is an unusual dimension (800x480 pixels) in full 24 bit color. With the port replicator I think you can drive a standard 800x600 display, though I have not tried this. The "mouse" is an Accupoint device next to the display, with the right and left buttons on the top of the lid. I find that it is not as easy to use as a mouse, but certainly not hard to use. The keyboard is not as easy to use as the HPLX, but it is still better than the handwriting input required for the HPCs. I think that as I get more accustomed to the keyboard it will become no more difficult than the HPLX.

I don't think I ever saw anything resembling an ad for the 200lx. I strongly suspect that HP dumped the 200lx because it was too good for Microsoft. Since HP needed to deal with Microsoft, HP sacrificed the HP200lx to maintain relations with Microsoft. I have no source for this information...it is a gut feeling that I have. My wife got me an HP545 for our anniversary. I had a problem with Money having duplicate files. I found that HP doesn't know what they are doing with Windows CE. I called customer support at HP and the woman (who spoke very bad English) made the problem worse instead of better. I finally fixed the problem by ignoring everything HP customer support told me. The HP545 has absolutely no similarity to hp200lx. Compared to DOS...windows CE has no flexibility. HP is in a bad situation...they don't understand Windows CE and they are stuck with the limitations of Windows CE. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2000 12:33:41 -0700 Reply-To: hobchi@juno.com Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: hobchi Subject: NiMH Batts Comments: To: Ken Hansen MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii --- Ken Hansen wrote: > Question - What do I need to use NiMH batteries in my LX? > I would like to be able to recharge my batteries *in the LX*, and I am not interested in buying any exp. software > > Thanks, > > Ken > Nuttin cept da batts..... ===== . o__ _.>/)_ (_) \(_) Woman, that's warm...

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I bought my 200lx (originally a 95lx) purely to use as a toy. I wanted to be able to do programming wherever I went. It's worked out beautifully for that. I had little need for a PDA but before I retired I did use it to keep phone numbers and a few appointments and it served a purpose. If I was still working I'd probably use a Palm for that, being so much lighter and adaquate to my simple needs. But programming isn't much fun on a Palm so it would probably stay on my desk and my 200lx would be in my pocket when I wasn't at work. Now everyone is trying to find a replacement and I guess we all agree that nothing else has the flexibility and power of the 200lx (with the possible exception of the Libretto, which is too big and has a short battery life). You can get something smaller. You can get something more powerful. You can get something cheaper. You can get something lighter. But the 200lx is still the most powerful machine that will fit in an average pocket. I guess we all agree that the Palm isn't powerful enough and the WinCE stuff is both not powerful enough but also too expensive, too hard on batteries and there is too little software available. The problem is that people don't really want any of these. The 200lx is too heavy to be comfortable in your pocket and most people really do hate (or fear) dos. It ain't gonna fly as the machine everybody uses. The Palm seems closer to that must have machine, but it's not really powerful enough and the one you can read easily is a little tough on batteries. WinCE or PocketPC really isn't in the running yet. I think the answer is that they're still working on the problem. They haven't built the right device yet. Nobody even knows yet what it'll look like. Probably nothing like what we're using now. Palm and 200lx and WinCE are all experiments. It's silly to think that HP has abandoned the 200lx community. There aren't enough of us for HP to even notice on their way to capturing the interest of the world. They won't think they have a good thing until everybody has one. That's the prize and nobody's even come close to it yet. In the meantime, all devices are temporary.

I would not hold much hope for it. The real issue then will be the power, which could be mitigated by the double slot or other external power. Still, that makes the whole portability of the palmtop simply vanish. I rather think that the PCMCIA prices of the very large cards (Sandisk sports a 660, 880 and 1.2g) will continue to drop, and that will be the route to go. Why Sandisk requires a driver on the 440MB is beyond me. I have a 512MB by MCT which requires no driver. > If may just be that the CF+ spec differs enough from PCMCIA/CF > to cause a burp.

The 200LX keyboard is a major reason why I use my Libretto more and more. A few minutes of chicklet typing gives me an ache in the fingers. I like the Libretto keyboard a lot, I only miss a right CTRL key sometimes. For me the LX has degraded into a PIM, and so a Palm would be nice. I can type quite well on the Libby, as it affectionatly is known. But the first time I thought this is a toy and it won't last, impossible to type on that! :-) > 6. (Optional) Office suite application capability. Another major reason to go with the Libretto for me. I suppose it depends on your environment.

The 50CT has a Pentium 75 MHz, I have upped it to 100 MHz with a possibility of 133 MHz by holding the on/off button in for 2 secs at bootup time. I run W95B, W98 was a pain with slow mouse buttons and the hibernate feature. I changed the disk to a 4 GB disk. I have a 1 GB partition for Windows 2000. On a P100 with 32 MB! The 50CT is limited to 32 MB unfortunately. Just for playing with users/groups/policies basically is ok. This weekend/early next week I will be upgrading a friends Libretto 100CT to a 12 GB drive. > Windows 2000 is great overall (I use it on my home desktop and have yet to > crash it) and great on this machine.

But running W2K on a 50CT is really an academic achievement, I only tried because my W2K teacher said it was not possible! :-) > Wake up time WITH THE > DOUBLE SPEED is an acceptable (though many of you will find exception to > this) 12 seconds. There is a similar unit (Casio Fiva) which actually has I think this is faster on mine. But that is from suspend, I suppose you mean hibernation. Suspend = just stops and turns off things but keeps the power on. Hibernation = writes memory to disk and shuts down. > The display is simply fantastic. Jepp! 50CT has a 640x480 screen instead. My gripe with the 100Ct is the mouse buttons, much harder than the 50CT. The 50CT has only one PCMCIA slot, 16 bit. The 100CT I think has CardBus, 32 bit. The 110CT is the last model in that series, a new Libretto series starts off with 1000 numbers. 20CT and 30CT models are 486 types, but I've never seen them around. There is a 70CT, I have a friend that has one, but I am not sure of the difference now. Look here for the major English Libretto site: http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ I thought I would chip in since the 50CT is a good machine and might be found a little cheaper. I use mine for all my mail and serious surfing, holding and getting pics from my Canon A50 digital camera via a CF adapter, wireless IR internet/SMS with my Nokia 6150 GSM phone, accessing my bank, usefull software/info repository when fixing computers, file transfer between networks, what-not. My config: Pentium 100 MHz, 32 MB RAM, 4 GB disk, 640x480 TFT backlit (!) screen, mini adapter with 1S/1P/VGA 1024x768 out, 56K modem card, 10 Mb NIC card, SCSI card (for my HP scanner at home), two batteries (I use only one), two chargers. I usually carry one charger with me in my rucksack, it's about the size of my phone.

Services like Proxiweb and Avantgo are copyrighted, and require that they themselves reformat the Web information for you before sending it to your device. Which means that they themselves would have to come up with a HP200LX solution. Guess how like that is to happen . . . I wonder, though, how they make their money.

I think Longen was refering to the compact flash specification differences, rather than the actual cards (remember that at one point a certain company was going to produce type II PCMCIA hard drives, but then they cancelled the project. I forget the name of the company). Compact Flash II (as CF + is also known) provides for more power to the card than CF I, AFAIK. (similar to the way PCMCIA III is different from PCMCIA II. The funny part is that CF II works just fine with a PCMCIA II CF adapter (as long it recognizes type II CF cards). Insofar as the TrgPro Palm recognizes the Microdrive (as well as any FAT formatted CF card), I am guessing that the controller already looks like ATA to the drive. It's just the power issue that remains the catch, I think.

EGA doesn't just use a different type of connector, it uses different voltage levels entirely. The VGA standard provided for analog signals to represent a practically unlimited range of colors, while the older CGA and EGA video cards used TTL (transistor-transistor logic) levels and were limited to a fixed number of colors (16 or 64). BTW, the VGA standard uses 15 pins in the connector. Pretty much all of the VGA cards can do everything to emulate the modes of CGA and EGA cards. You can probably get a VGA card for next to nothing (check the next garage sale you pass). Alan From: Richard E. McEvoy Ýmailto:remce@GOFREE.INDIGO.IE¨ Sent: Wednesday, September 06, 2000 8:24 PM I want to see how what old useful DOS software there is in my old IBM XT, but the EGA monitor display has shrunk to a garbled two inch wide band at the top of the screen. On Sunday last I got a HP VGA monitor at a charity fete and an older monitor, which had been attached to a Commodore Amiga, which may be a CGA; it has a nine pin D shaped female socket which looks compatible with the XT. I tried a few places today for a nine pin cable, but only saw VGA (12 pins). A bit more searching will probably turn up an old cable, but is it possible to adapt the XT (which runs DOS 3.0) for the VGA monitor.

I have both. 440MB vs. 512MB, requires driver vs. no driver, almost same price. I cannot comment on power and speed scientifically, I don't have the numbers here avaiable. I believe 512 is oemed from another manufacturer. Anecdotally - from what my perception is, but unmeasured - the 512 is faster, a lot faster. 440 is recognized by Win 95 and Win 98 as sandisk something. The 512 is plain ATA card.

VIEW is an excellent progrem for viewing or converting various word processor formats (and HTML) to text. I use it to read Word docs if I get 'em in my email. For HTML to text, the best program I've found is Bruce Guthrie's HTMSTRIP. It not only converts to text, but can be configured to embed printer control codes (or VDE codes etc) to print various header sizes in something resembling the original. Also converts tables nicely (with choice of borders) to fit the screen/printer format, and other cool stuff I can't think of offhand. Maybe on SUPER. If not, I'll post the URL when I find it.

No. PCS here in the USA using the same 1900 MHz frequency as GSM, but the protocol is regular old CDMA that is used by many digital phones on the 800 MHz band. My Motorola StarTAC is a tri-mode phone: Analog and CDMA at 800 MHz (like most uial mode digital phones) and CMDA at 1900 MHz (AKA PCS). No GSM capabilities at all.

Actually, there is nothing really special about the 200LX in terms of being compatable with any cel phone. The 200LX is just a DOS computer with a PCMCIA port and a serial port. Of course, that it can only supply 150 ma to the PCMCIA port limits which modems can be used. I have used two different set ups with my 200LX and cel phones. Originally, I had a Motorola MicroTAC phone that was both TDMA digital and regular analog. I hooked it up to an Apex PCMCIA modem with a special cable made for the specific phone/modem combination. I could go online in analog-only mode at about 4800-9600 bps. This worked OK, but the disadvantage was that the modem would draw down the palmtop's batteries rather quickly. Also, the phone was rather large and I had to carry a spare pair of AA batteries, the PCMCIA modem and the cable. I also used the same phone with a Motorola Cellect external battery powered modem plugged into the palmtop's serial port. This is a modem designed to work with the MicroTAC and compatable cel phones working in analog mode. This combination was good because the palmtop's batteries were not drained. But that was a lot of equipment to carry around. But both of these setups used the cel phone in analog mode. Analog mode was not that great and was prone to bad signals and very slow data rates. Now, I have one of the new Motorola StarTAC phones with the microbrowser and so-called built-in modem. I connect the phone directly to the serial port of the palmtop with a cable. The phone uses it digitial mode to send the data right through at 14400 bps. As far as the palmtop knows, it is just working with a regular modem. This is a fantastic combination because the phone is tiny, there is only one cable, no batteries are drained too much, there is no need to use the analog mode, and the data rate is faster. I highly recommend this setup.

Results: APL loads and runs on the iPAQ, via PocketDOS. There are some (important) `keyboard' issues that I'll touch on below, but I found I was able to load APL and load Workspaces that had been written on PCs and moved to the IPAQ without any difficulty. My test program was extremely simple: Calculate the sum of the vector you get by raising the first n integers to the 1.00001 power. This is very simple, but as the `power' requires calculation of both exponentials and logs it exercises the floating point capability to some extent. The machines: HP200Lx Single Speed iPAQ 3630 running PocketDOS I tested at two levels: 20,000 items and 30,000 items. iPAQ: 20,000 takes 120.010 sec 30,000 takes 213.990 sec HP200: 20,000 takes 366.570 sec 30,000 gets `WS FULL' error This indicates that the `simulated' DOS on the iPAQ runs about 3 times as fast as the `real' DOS on the HP200. And, I guess it also indicates---indirectly---that the virtual `machine' provided by PocketDOS is somewhat bigger than than provided by the 200. Cost: The iPAQ with 32mb costs $500. PocketDOS adds $40 The HP200Lx with 32mb costs $600 Keyboard: Keyboard has always been a `nightmare issue' for APL. It is even more so when you complicate it by not having a `real' keyboard. The wisdom (IMO) of Iverson's departure from the APL symbol set (J uses conventional symbols) becomes evident when you try to adapt APL to some `new' computational world. I have no doubt that it would be possible to create an `APL Keyboard' for the iPAQ, but I also have little doubt that it will not be worthwhile to bother to do so. Its principal use, for me, will be to run workspaces that are created elsewhere. Conclusion: The iPAQ is the first palm-format device that seems to be able to run DOS faster than even a double speed HP200 (I assume a double speed 200 runs about twice as fast as a regular 200. I don't have one, and have never tested this). I find that since getting the iPAQ I no longer bother with the 200. The first time I have `had the 200 out' in the past weeks was to make this comparison study. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 10 Sep 2000 12:41:29 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Larry Tachna Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Larry Tachna Subject: Re: Dos Capability: APL on iPAQ vs. HP200Lx Comments: To: David Ness In-Reply-To: <39BBB257.DBA29CF@Home.Com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >>This indicates that the `simulated' DOS on the iPAQ runs about 3 >>times as fast as the >>`real' DOS on the HP200.

I can see this making the HPLX very very useful as a repository of information. I tried briefly with HV and it seems that there was no problem with blank pages alike! I am glad that this somehow is not plaguing your excellent search tool. I had two strange results: I searched for "www/lx" in year 2000 and found zero matches. I tried "www/*" and "www*" and found zero matches as well. I found matches on "meshar" and "kopplin" so it is not lower case. In one case I searched for unlimited number of matches and the results came back FAST, even on a highly recurring term!!!! Nice job. Suggestion: When you display the results, perhaps repeat the search criteria, so it is clear that you searched for "xyz and pqr" in year "all years". Nice job - THANK YOU! Avi M.

Hi All, I've discovered a problem that I suspect to be a newly introduced bug in latest version of Nettamer for palmtops. Since that problem is preventing me from evaluating Nettamer's worthiness of registration, I haven't yet registered Nettamer and therefore don't have the author's undivided attention... especially since he has just recently gotten out the hospital after a lengthy stay for an operation. Al Kind was kind enough to give me an old version of Nettamer for palmtops a while back to compare, but the version he gave me was too old to function properly any more. It seems that some of Al Kind's email is disappearing again since I haven't gotten a response from my him lately, so I'm still looking for the last obsolete release of Nettamer for palmtops. The newest release of Nettamer for palmtops that I've discovered the problem in is n1112pt.zip. If you have the release before that, please attach that zip file to an email to jvander800@aol.com. ( That email account can handle file attachments much easier.) By comparing the two versions, I should be able to determine if the problem is indeed a newly introduced bug that would require priority attention by the author of Net tamer.

When I've tried it, I would get most of a screen of blank lines at the top of each message that I tried to view, but a page-down would bring it into view.

I found matches on "meshar" and > "kopplin" so it is not lower case. Two things are going on here. The first is that because of the '/' the indexer treats www/lx as two words, www and lx. The second is that very common words are removed from the index. WWW is too common. I could force it to index all words, but then the indices increase significantly, and the search speed suffers. But you should have gotten results on www*. I just tried it and got 2596 hits for 2000. For www/lx I'm afraid you'll have to search for 'lx', which will also include messages with e.g. post/lx and just LX. > In one case I searched for unlimited number of matches and the > results came back FAST, even on a highly recurring term!!!! > Nice job. My test case is to search for the word palmtop over all years. I get 10,953 matches, and the result page that it pumps out is about 1.6MB. This takes about 45 seconds to search and display connected locally. Over a modem just receiving the results would take longer than the search. That's the reason for the Maximum items option. If you pick say 100, only what the search engine thinks are the top 100 matches are returned. One of these days I might try and set up paginated results. > Suggestion: When you display the results, perhaps repeat the > search criteria, so it is clear that you searched for "xyz and > pqr" in year "all years". Good suggestion. The search terms are displayed near the top of the page, but I should add the year. I should also add the year at the bottom of the page where it has the search again. It might also be good to say rather than 'returned 25 Items' something like 'returned 25 of 10,956 Items'. > Nice job - THANK YOU! Thank you, and thank you for the comments and suggestions.

Subject: Re: unregulated power supply MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit (Some messages were somehow thrown into the "Send Later" folder here; Grrr. I'm sending all these from last week now.) I'd suggest you use some kind of regulated supply - Switchers are far lighter, although often far more expensive (use one for a "carry" supply.) Linear regulators are heavier and far less power efficient; they're cheaper, though ($10 or so if you wire your own, less if you shop Garage Sales!) My first LX power lump used a Linear, mostly am using a Switcher now that I have one here. If you have a 15 volt or higher, DC power supply, already there, you can use that with a cheap "7812" Linear regulator. Ask me off-list for more details If you want to really "hack" a cheap power supply, you can do like quite a few electronics fanatics do - wire in a fuse or circuit breaker for a PC-powered LX charger and power supply for other projects. Use this for my microcontroller projects To do this, get a connector that'll plug into the 12 volt hard drive connectors on your PC. (Cut apart a drive power wiring extender if you cannot find those!) Wire a 1 or 2 Amp fuse in series with the "+" wire for 12 volts, on the far side of that connector (this is the YELLOW wire on most Hard Drive connectors. You also need to run the '-' or black wire next to it out the front panel.) On the other side of the fuse, put a resistor (1 Ohm or so, 1 Watt is good) and then an electrolytic cap, say 2200uF, 25V or so, across + and - (+ being after the fuse and resistor - wire '-' to the black wire, OK?) - then put a couple binding posts through a 3.5" floppy drive slot cover plate and wire these to that. (You can also do the same with the Red +5V line.) (Use different colored binding posts for +12 and +5 volts and/or label the binding posts, huh? Red for +5, Yellow for +12, Black for Ground, is good.) The 5V inside your computer is regulated, the 12V isn't very well regulated but usually is pretty accurate (it's created in proportion to the 5V power - Measure it!) - there's a LOT of ripple and noise on either line, that's why I put the resistor and capacitor in there, to filter and clean the voltages up. And: the fuse is MANDATORY unless you're lots safer than even I am, as WHEN you short the wires outside your PC's front cover, you can expect the wires in your PC's power supply to MELT, sparks fly, and your computer to (in general) cop a nasty attitude towards you after that - NOT a good idea. If you aren't an electronics fanatic, maybe have one build this for you (A PC's power supply will supply about 23A at 5V and 8A at 12V, for a 230W power supply; LOTS of sparks, and then the magic silver smoke comes out and your whole PC quits working...) I think I'll make these - since 3.5" drive bay covers adhere well to the "Standards" problem ("The Nice thing about Standards is, that there are SO many to choose from!"), I'll have to do a little extra work. Whatever works The 200LX uses about 300mA (0.300 A) at IIRC 9.6 to 14.4V (12V +- 20%), so I am pretty sure that the 12V off a computer's power supply should be usable, though I haven't tested it for THIS purpose, I've sure used it for enough other jobs. Another possibility is to just plug a cable off a fairly well charged lead-acid battery into the charge socket (This one I'll be trying, though I'll probably regulate it as I'll be using solar panels to charge the battery!) Lead-Acid cells run within the 9.6V - 14.4V range nicely, though I would NOT try this on a car battery (if you start the car, expect the LX to be hurt.)

Several possibles here: A small solar panel will produce some power at 12V on cloudy days; my little twin AA charger will way overcharge 2 AA's on bright days (tries to push 180mAh into 650mAh NiCad's) - it's supplying about 10mA right now, so expect slow charging if you go this way. My larger 1.8W flat panel solar panels would supply about 12V at 50mA today, normally about 125mA at 14.4V or so - I'm thinking a small lead-acid battery and a "LDO" (Low drop-out voltage) regulator to charge the LX's at about 11 to 12 volts, should be easy enough. ÝYou can add mirrors to gather more light onto the solar cells, just don't over do this and create an expensive solar powered, solar cell melter! Expensive, that.¨ Lead-Acid's are "Full" at 13.something volts and "Empty" at 10 volts or so, so probably can just use a solar panel in parallel with a battery and Use a small lead-acid "gel" cell. The 200LX uses 3V at say 1600mAh i.e. 1.8 Watt Hours worth of power off 2 NiMH 1600mAH batteries, to recharge that same pair would take 0.4AH of power at 12 volts (if perfectly efficient, which IS unlikely!) - There are a number of 2AH lead-acid gel cell batteries that'll cost you about $10 to $12 shipped, build a cheap slow charger and you have an (admittedly heavy!) portable recharge station that'd recharge your LX about 3 times anyways before running out of power. I need to make a web page on this one I just use the solar charger to charge AA's, 2 at a time, and keep them full; Pick an angle that prevents the batteries being way overcharged as it'll hurt them (though with modern IC's like the Maxim MAX713, you can charge a 1- to 4-cell NiCad pack at up to 4C i.e. 2.4A into a 650mAh NiCad pack...) The smart controller chip's required or you'll do damage, though. You also can use a switcher to create 12V from a 6V lead-acid or 5-6 NiMH's easily enough, I think there's now a Maxim chip out that'll do this from 1 or 2 "C" cells for that matter. The main thing's to figure out what you want then figure out how to make that happen (I understand you folks in Europe cannot use Lead-Acid's easily; NiCad's can be solar charged using that MAX713 and then a switcher could generate 12V for you.) Seems like every bit of electronics gear I own has a different power connector, voltage, current requirement, etc., it bugs me that I cannot just plug anything in to anything else's power feed Mark ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2000 09:54:23 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Adriaan van Nijendaal Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Adriaan van Nijendaal Subject: Re: 200LX and mobile phones Comments: To: stanleyd@CARROLL.COM In-Reply-To: <200009101425.KAA08475@spdmraab.compuserve.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed At 16:25 10-09-00, Stanley Dobrowski wrote: >Chris Lott wrote: > > > I'm getting out of my league here, but isn't the US PCS digital cell > > phone based on the GSM standard?

Errors also by opening files. Hi, Klaus - Let me ask a dumb question. Since your email address is in Germany, are you using the German version of the 200LX? If so, there's a version of 123G just for German palmtops. The English version doesn't work on non-English palmtops. If the versions of 123G and palmtop are matched, the problem may be with the size of the keyboard buffer if you're not loading or saving from the 123 default directory. A 128 byte buffer (KBUF128.SYS) is packaged with KEYSTUFF on SUPER -- or if you use a double speed palmtop from Thaddeus or Rundle, the current dbl-spd driver also includes a 64 byte buffer.

I have no idea what an IPAQ or APL are or what you're comparing. But from your post it seems to be on a PocketPC machine with, presumably, a math coprocessor. If that's the case, how the program was compiled is of real importance. Many programs are compiled to use a math coprocessor if it's there and to provide an emulator provided internally by the compiler if it's not. That being the case, is it possible that the DOS emulator in your IPAQ presents itself as a DOS machine with a math coprocessor and uses the real coprocessor in the unit? If so, that could account for the speed difference. Or at least confuse the issue enough that the test isn't meaningful, since the 200lx doesn't have a coprocessor. I would only do this on a program I'd compiled myself to always use the emulation. That makes it a little closer to an apples vs. apples test. The default option on most compilers is to make an exe that uses the coprocessor if it's there and emulation if not.

I've been trying to get the APL keyboard to work on a HPLX 200 for years.
They SAY that the 200lx can accept old DOS keyboard files, but I've never
been able to get it to work. Ýif anyone has actually gotten KEYBDZ(sp?) to
work please let me know¨.

 I've tried J, and K,  Ýapologies to list for infra APL offshoot languages
references¨, but "APL Interactive" has spoiled me as far a learning from
anything more difficult. Ýlearning from Ken Iverson's "J" writings, or
Whitney's "K" writings is like trying to learn Calculus from "Principia
Mathematica instead of "Calculus Made Simple"¨

I use Lotus Agenda extensively on my 200LX, do you know if the IPAQ will run
it under PocketDos?

Details are on Daniel Hertrich's homepage . I am using this in Canada through Clearnet which is the equivalent of Nextel- I roam in the U.S. on Nextel- paying an additional $5 per month for data capability. The setup works great, basically you need to buy a data kit (just to get the phone to DB-9 cable) and a null modem adapter to connect to the LX connectivity cable. The modem inside the phone is standard Hayes AT command set AFAIK (it even works with PalmPilots & Macintoshes apparently) but you do need the special initialization string (AT&FX4). Last time I wss in New York I successfully connected to my ISP in Vancouver- but only the first time, after that I kept getting some error message, can't remember what now. But the phone is definitely capable and the modem is LX compatible. Whether my inability to reconnect was Nextel not allowing the connection or just another symptom of the _crappy_ connectivity I was getting this summer in New York in general, I don't know. But when I roamed there in 1999, without data (using a regular i1000) by the way, I had no complaints. The difference was like night & day. 200LX in Vancouver _______________________________________________________________ ___ ___ /// ___ \\\ // \ /// \\\ __|_|__ | | TEA HOUSE MUSIC ||| ¬ ||| T:1.604.609.6612 worldteahouse.com | / \ | | F:1.604.609.0812 teahousemusic.com ||| /_|_\ ||| micro@smartt.com | (under construction) /|\ \\\ /// \ _ _ // \\\ _ _ /// _ _ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2000 10:53:00 +0100 Reply-To: Paulo.Custodio@alcatel.pt Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Paulo Custodio Organization: Alcatel Subject: Re: Keybez & Software Carousel incompatibility?

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Let me start off by saying I have teenagers in the house and want to monitor the extent of their phone usage--so far as I know there is nothing illegal about what I would like to do. I would like to be able to monitor the numbers dialed from my house, and the time and duration of each call. I have an extra 200LX just laying around as a back-up, and could dedicate it to this purpose. My first thought was to use a modem, but I don't think that is a possibility. My next thought was to use some device attached to the serial port. I've seen commercial devices that will do what I want, but they run nearly $100. It doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to construct a device that would monitor the phone line and capture dialed numbers and the times the TIP goes high and low. Does anyone have suggestions on where I might start? Thanks! Ted -- Theodore W.

It's $99.95 and has a 256 digit memory. The poor man's solution would be to use a tape recorder that starts automatically when a receiver is lifted by using a 43-228 ($19.95) from Rat Shack and recording the tones as they are dialed. You then merely call a digital pager number (you do have one don't you?) and playing the tones into the mouthpiece of the phone.

So far the answer seems to be that they told HP that they could no longer support DOS enabled platforms unless it was part of a Win platform. This was not because there was a Gates inspired "rule the world" conspiracy, rather that they could not find and motivate staff to learn the intricacies of a command line driven platform with no further development future. I have asked whether CE has turned out any easier to support and the answers are ambivalent. It has not, in total, but it has been much simpler as it relates to MS and hardware issues only. Like DOS, they keep running into problems with other software not fully beta proven and all the instability issues that we are so familiar with. A plain untouched, unmodified CE has in its latest guise proven reliable. Some people are trying to do the sort of push on CE that some of our LX developers have done so well for us. They have failed to offer the time or facilities to support their product by simply offering MS or the platform as an excuse as to why their software will not work. So it seems to be the inevitable march of time. There were some comments to me that some focus groups were given the opportunity to play with CE, laptop, 200LX and palm devices. The 200LX was the hands down loser, and not just because of the screen. This was done before the latest version of SC and I doubt that Post or wwwlx figured in the evaluation either. But the guy I talked to did know about Accis and compuserve.

All the 43-228 does is act as an on/off switch for the recorder with a remote jack, so I see no reason why you couldn't hack 'something' to provide that.

Yes - you definitely need maxdos when you want to call PGP from within PalEdit which is nested in POST/LX. This needs a lot of memory ;-) I have it working now. Mack told me to check his latest TREMM drivers which work fine. I suspect also that the loaded EXP drivers might have been creating the havock - this needs to be verified though.

The 512 is plain ATA card Hmmm. I assume the 440 is the Sandisk card and the 512 is from MCT? The important point here is the way that Win95/98 recognizes the card. The Sandisk card is just a flash card and presents itself that way. And I guess the 200LX ROM cannot use a card identified as Sandisk flash card that big without a driver, But the other card presents itself as a ATA drive and that implies it has it's own intelligent controller on the card and therefore does a bit more of the work instead of leaving it up to the ROM drivers. In other words, this card is smarter. So, this may explain why is does not need a driver. Remember the Double Flash Plus cards sold by ACE Technologies? They presented themselves as an ATA device to Win95/98 instead of pretending to be a Sandisk flash card. And these cards were quite fast. I wonder of the 512MB card might be from IBM as the ACE DF+ cards were.

This is probably for the same reason that DOS and Linux/Unix haven't gone mainstream: it simply requires the user to LEARN how to use the OS and to THINK about what they are doing.

Hi Stefan and list The only one I know of is www.freeonline.com.au You need to register and they will only give 3 hours per day outside of a "free" zone of 4000 web sites. Other than that its free. I dont know if they have advertising requirements or not. Free ISP's in Australia have a hard time as our top level telco charges about US$0.10 per MB for all traffic in and out of the ISP.

Yes, using DS on a Windoze 95 disk is a good way to practice reinstalling Windows... DS.EXE knows nothing (shades of sergeant Shultz) about long file names. And Win95 is dependent on the long version. > Any other suggestions? Or is there a way to temporarily tell my Win95 > machine not to use long filename formats when saving files on the CF card? I *THINK* that if you follow the DOS file naming conventions, that Win95 will use "short" file names only. That means capital letters, numbers, and restricted symbols only. I have had mixed results though (pilot error?). And if you shutdown to MS-DOS mode, the "long" file names are turned off.

The DS.EXE program was made to operate on a disk formatted with a 16 bit FAT. The disks used by your Windows computer are formatted with a 32 bit FAT that allows long file names. Operating on the file system with a 32 bit FAT with a utility that was made to operate on a file system with a 16 bit FAT can dangerous. You are right that DS.EXE cannot handle long filenames. >Any other suggestions? Or is there a way to temporarily tell my Win95 >machine not to use long filename formats when saving files on the CF card? I suggest looking for a newer utility that was made to operate on a 32 bit FAT that will do what you want. I personally don't know of one like that. I'm sorry. It used to be optional to format a hard drive as 16 bit or 32 bit. I'm not sure if that is an option anymore in newer machines. The 32 bit FAT is what allows long file names. Besides, reformatting your drive is a rather permanent thing. ;-) It's not what I would consider as a temporary solution. There is a way to access your 32 bit formatted drive by by-passing the 32 bit FAT and going into a DOS mode that operates in 16 bit mode that is completely unaware of the Disk's 32 bit FAT, but that's just as dangerous, so I won't describe the various ways to get into that mode. I wouldn't recommend accessing your hard drive with DOS any other way than within a DOS window where the 32 bit FAT is active and aware... but I would not recommend using a 16 bit utility that operates on the file system, either... even from within a DOS window. I wish I could be more help, but I wanted to at least warn you of the danger of working on newer computers with old DOS utilities that were designed to operate on the older 16 bit file systems. I hope someone else can point you to a utility that was designed to work on a drive that is formatted as a 32 bit file system. Cheers!

Before a recent trip, I was copying some software to my palmtop so I could work on it while away. One utility I use on this project is a software control package, like Unix's RCS. Anyway, the executable of the DOS program told me it was compiled for an 80286 or greater - if you wanted an 8088 version, contact the author. I did, and he promptly provided a version for me (after saying he has had that message in the code for about 1o years, and I was the first person to ever call and ask for it!). Then he inquired what palmtop I was using (I guess he was intrigued that I was using my palmtop for professional software development). I replied with a short but complete description of the palmtop, including a brief section describing how HP has abandoned this fine series of computers, with no suitable follow-on. Next thing I know, I get a cc message from him that he has sent to the CEO of the HP company! I truly didn't ask, nor reasonably expect, that a third party would take such drastic steps. It is an interesting reaction, to say the least. Has anyone else written/corresponded officially to HP about the 200LX series (I know some have threatened to on the list awhile back)? If so, what action, if any, happened?

It has nothing to do with the long filenames. Windows 95 uses additional (hidden from normal view) directory entries for storing the long filenames (and calls the system VFAT). Windows 95 will create these directory entries on any FAT file system. In fact, the first version of Windows 95 didn't have FAT-32 support at all, that was added later. Using a DOS based file utility under Windows shouldn't be too dangerous, but it might not be much use either (because it cannot display the long filenames). If the DOS based utility deletes files, then there can be problems because it only deletes the main file. This leaves unused hidden directory entries on the disk that are never deleted. Thankfully, the Windows version of Scandisk can detect and properly delete these. (as a side note, one should never use a DOS based disk defragmenter (such as Norton's Speedisk) under Windows because this will most certainly ruin the file-system.

Microsoft went to great lengths to ensure interchangeability with old DOS disks and programs. I actually think they did a good job, despite the few problems (which for the most part are not as dangerous as you make them sound) there are. I have followed this thread closely, so I am not sure what the original poster actually wants. However, if it has to do with detecting and/or removing long filenames from a device that is also used under DOS, then there is a program called LFNBACK available somewhere on Microsoft's home page that might be helpful.

If someone uses a well behaved DOS based file utility _under_Windows_ to delete files, then the utility will be making "delete this file" calls to the underlying operating system. Windows will be doing the actual sector manipulation to accomplish the deleting and there will be no "unused directory entries". The only exception to this would be if you're using a DOS direct-disk-manipulation utility like "Norton Disk Doctor for DOS" where the utility does the deleting rather than making calls to the underlying operating system.

It requires only a structure known as VFAT, which is supposed to be compatible with the original DOS FAT structures. I'm absolutely certain of this because I do not use FAT-32 partitions on my Windows 95 notebook and I make extensive use of long filenames. The part that messes up earlier operating systems (and vice-versa) is that in order to create and store those long filenames, Windows 95 uses multiple directory entries for each file it stores. When you use some utility that depends heavily on an intimate understanding (and manipulation) of the FAT contents of a drive, they don't know about the extra entries in use.

So on a DOS machine or a Windows machine booted in DOS mode (where none of the VFAT/LFN functions seem to be available), it will merely delete the main file entry. I guess that also explains why I've never had Scandisk give me errors about left over directory entries (since I've only used DOS utils under Windows 95 :-) > The only exception to this would be if you're using a DOS > direct-disk-manipulation utility like "Norton Disk Doctor for DOS" where the > utility does the deleting rather than making calls to the underlying > operating system. Indeed but as I wrote, such utilities won't work unless you put some effort into it. With Window 95 loaded, I imagine Windows will simply terminate such programs the moment they try to write to the disk directly (I never tried). Under DOS (that is, Windows 95 booted into DOS, no GUI, not a DOS window) the machine will freeze with a message about a program attempting to access the disk directly - again before any harm is done. The behaviour is controlled by the LOCK and UNLOCK commands introduced in Win95. I believe it is LOCK to allow direct access to the drive and UNLOCK to deny it (default). Oddly enough, that is the opposite of what I would have deemed logical (I mean if anything, Windows locks the disk from access, right?), but there you go. Of course, if you boot a machine using a (real) DOS rescue disk and start "fixing" the harddrive then you can do some serious damage to your files... > On the other hand, if you take a disk with long filenames to a Dos > machine, and delete some of the long-filename files using DOS, then > you will have some hidden pseudo-file entries from the extended > information.

It's possible to indirectly get output from www.mapblast.com using HV and WWW/LX, but it doesn't work to view it on screen. I had to save the image, then view with LXPIC. Even then the map isn't very legible on the LX screen for some reason, even in what they call black and white mode. I found it quite difficult to read the street names if I didn't know them.

Let me make one or two examples: Using Post/LX, I receive an email with an Word attachment. Ctrl-M gives me a choice "Open or Save". I select Open and the Word document opens right away with VIEW and I can read it. I do this daily 50 times with no problems, no reboot, no freeze. Why do you think it is faster or more convenient to save the file, open another SC session, start VIEW and open the stored file. **** I like to compose a message, starting again with Post/LX. After I started using e.g. PE as editor I need to search for a specific information. I press open and PICK comes in and allows me to search for the badly needed file. The files opens CUT&PASTE gets the desired information into the message which I am composing. Again, why do you think it is faster or more convenient to save the file, open another SC session, start PE and open the stored file, searching the information as described above. Get all the information into the message with CUT&PASTE. Save the message document.

That is one of the great things, that maxdos gives you a lot of available memory in EACH SC session within a fraction of a second, just on keypress. I don't see any redundancy, for me it is a completely different thing, although both programs do swap. I use maxdos cascaded, That means starting with the first application I can launch the second application and from there the third and from there the fourth application and so on. I have always more than 500KB of memory available for the next application. Using maxdos with pns200, gives you always the maximum of memory for the selected application.

One is that the data structure for a line of pixels in a *.PCX file are padded to word size. In a 256 color file this means that if a picture has a horizontal size that is odd, an extra byte is stored. In 16 color files there can be zero, one two, or three extra pixels appended. These pixels can be zeroed out, which normally is black. Pull your signature PCX in a program (such as LXPIC) that can tell you the color depth and size. ensure that if it has 256 colors/greyscales that its horizontal dimension is even. Sixteen color deep pictures should have a horizontal pixel count divisable by four. And monochrome might require a count divisable by sixteen. This padding causes problems in file conversions in PCX, BMP, TIFF, and some others. Some "cheesy" software displays the zeroed out bytes and that shows up as a black bar. The second was, when scanning a file, a black pixel was appended on one or more edges of the picture. A glitch in the scanning software or a disagreement between the scanner, the Windoze clipboard, and the graphics program. Fairly obvious except when I wasn't looking for it.

Where you are using the card in the HP200lx (dos based) why are you using long file names? Win95 will use long file names but DOS 5 on the HP200lx will not. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2000 10:19:14 -0500 Reply-To: Chris Lott Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Chris Lott Subject: Software Configuration Tool MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit BTW, in my post about HP's CEO, I forgot to mention the software configuration control software that I can now use on my palmtop.

Barry: Just a reminder, don't forget about the DIRCMD variable that I believe was first introduced in DOS 5.0. For example, I have my DIRCMD variable set to "/ogn" in my autoexec.bat file. Whenever I perform the DIR command, the listing is automatically sorted. Your choice of the default DIRCMD value may be any standard DIR option(s) that you prefer. You can review this option with the DIR /? command; a brief explanation of the DIRCMD environment variable is at the end of the help screen. Perhaps this will serve your needs?

Don't wait too many years or you won't have anything to view the pictures with, except the 200lx. Technology moves too fast. I saw a documentary about a concern that historians and archivists have that we're losing out history, unlike past eras. While we keep more information than at any time in the past, the devices needed to read it keep changing. In 100 years how likely do you think it is we'll be able to read what we're putting on disk today? Sure, there will be a few collectors around that have ancient PC's and might let you use them for a very high charge, but what about information that's stored on flash cards? How many PC's can read flash cards? How many 200lx's will survive that long? With most media, the media itself isn't likely to survive that long and I doubt that many institutions will be interested in transferring huge archives to new media from time to time. A lot of historians fear that in a few centuries less may be known about our time than earlier times.

MS added a bunch of INT21H functions (in 16-bit code, so they could also be installed under earlier OSes) for dealing with Win9x directory entries. For instance, try DIR /V (verbose mode) in Win9x boot to command prompt. You'll get all the date info, at least.

Unless, of course, you reach the (fixed) limit for directory entries in your root directory.

YES. I used to use it regularly with Post/LX. However, I now use the mail forwarding option. My Yahoo mail is delivered to my main Earthlink account now. I've been pleased with it in the 1+ years I've had the account now, and can count on one hand the number of times I've recieved advertisments from Yahoo regarding "special offers".

Ah, this might be the reason for my problem: Everytime I run Scandisk (this on from Win95) on my palmtop to scan the CF card, it reports a "long filename problem that cannot be solved here - run the windows version of scnadisk!". I wondered what problem this could be. But now you made me think that I could have deleted a file with the palmtop that I put on the CF card with Windows before... Maybe I should really run the Windows Scandisk over the card..

Reading files >should pose no problems at all. . . . >I have followed this thread closely, so I am not sure what the original >poster actually wants... That is probably why you are down playing the danger. The original poster was enquiring about an old DOS utility that actually re-sorted (moved around) the files and directories on a disk itself. That sounded too much like old utilities like the Norton DOS utilities that worked down at the file system level on 16 bit file systems... extremely dangerous when used on a 32 bit file system. I was attempting to warn the original poster about that danger. I've done real damage to an old Win95 computer's file system by using old DOS utilities like that, so I know from experience that Windows 95 does not ALWAYS stop the action and save the day. The damage can go undetected and grow without the users knowledge. The mode where one shuts down a Win95 computer to pure DOS has a nickname. it's also known as "Danger Mode". As others have mentioned, that mode is completely 32 bit unaware. It will work with a 32 bit file system as though it were actually a 16 bit file system. Yes. There are programs out there can fix the problems caused by operating in this way. But they can only save the day if used BEFORE the file system becomes too corrupted to run that software. >From one who has been there, please heed the warning. Cheers! John Vander Stel Grand Rapids, Michigan BTW, if you would like to read more about this very real danger, check out some old issues of "DOS World" which has changed their name within the past year to "Practical Windows". They have always specialized in information about working with DOS on Windows computers and they do offer some old issues for a price.

Knowing that you are a "strong" user of the LX I strongly recommend to investigate maxdos - really. 1) Install "enough" EMS with TREMM or some such. Unload the driver for an EXP PCMCIA card though. 2) Call your program in the individual SC session with a batch file e.g. : c: c:\path\maxdos.com -l -e c:\path\program.exe c:\path\maxdos.com -r Thats it. As Helmuth explained you can nest maxdos and program calls. I do it the same way.

The swap back to the Post/LX SC session and finish the = message You are certainly right, Steve, that it could be done this way. But it would require terminating PE switching SC sessions, running the PGP stuff, switching SC back and then restarting PE. One of the great features of PE is that it can launch other programs feeding a file to them and then receiveing the modified file back. All this can happen while still in PE. But PGP is to big to run under PE in a SC session. This is where MaxDOS comes in. MaxDOS stub is loaded before PE and then PE launches a PGP be telling MaxDOS to run it. MaxDOS removes all of PE from memory therefore giving enough space to PGP to work. When PGP is done, MaxDOS returns PE to memory, PE picks up the file modified by PGP and it is all done. This is a lot cooler than just switching SC sessions back and forth.

Yet another incredible useful application for those on the road. Any chance to get the maps with 640 pixel width instead of only 600? The unreadable street names originate in the terrible "interlaced" GIF format, which MapBlast uses and which LXPIC cannot display properly. What would you think of a new text format, where the text is stored that way: first every 8th word, then every 4th word, then every 2nd word and finally the remaining words of what you have written. Display of such a text first offers you every 8th word of the text just to give you an idea of the whole text. Then the gaps are filled with every 4th word and so on... I'm sure, everybody would go for this new text format ;-) Surprising enough, more and more images on the net use this Interlaced GIF (or progressive JPEG) format. I don't know which school teaches this nonsense. Just think for one moment about how to program such a word processor compared to the line by line approach, which is by the way, how we write. The new format forces you to keep the wohle text in memory and to jump wild around to collect the words from all over the text. It's slow and memory hungry. That's why interlaced GIF and progressive JPEG is not completely supported by LXPIC. I process interlaced GIFs by starting output at the offset, where the remaining lines of the GIF image are stored. These are 50% of all lines. I zoom the remaining lines vertically by factor 2 to simulate the whole image. But in fact, only every second line is displayed. A user of LXPIC pointed me to utilities, which can convert an interlaced GIF to a standard GIF. It's indirect by first converting to BMP and then back to GIF, but it works even on the palmtop. I uploaded the converters to my homepage and wrote a batch file to do the convertion. I also added a convertion to b&w PCX, because it's the fastest display format. If you named your MapBlast file for example NY.GIF, then call the batch file GIF.BAT with the name of the picture without the GIF extension: GIF NY this will convert the interlaced NY.GIF to the standard NY.GIF and will also output a NY.PCX Download the utilities from http://peichl.hplx.net/gif.zip Stefan ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 16 Sep 2000 09:34:45 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Richard and Patti Smith Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Richard and Patti Smith Organization: Orion On-Site Computer Services Subject: Re: Directory sort program MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit One easy, 32-bit-safe, way to sort directory listings is to use the commands available with the MSDOS DIR command. To see them all, type: DIR /? You can place a SET DIRCMD= command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and it will use those switches every time you use the DIR command. Like this: SET DIRCMD=/OGNE /P Whenever I use the DIR command, the listing will be sorted with directories first, then by name and extension, and it will automatically pause at each 'page' of the listing. You can also override the switches you set in DIRCMD on the command line. This is a bit easier, cleaner and safer than using Norton's DS, but gets similar results.

Do you know any free sites that do Address to Lat/Lon coordinates? This would make it much simpler. Mapblast does this internally to display the maps, so I don't think this could be accessed directly. What I think would have to be done is my server would make the request to mapblast, then the returned page would be simplified, and this page sent to the client computer. Doing this would also allow the map gif to be deinterlaced before being sent, so the palmtop user could see it directly in HV without using your gif tools. This might also bring up legal issues though. I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing now is ok. From reading their terms of use, I interpret them to mean I can display any maps generated by MapBlast as long as I include a link to them, display their logo, and its for non-commercial use. My interpretation may not be the same as theirs. They may argue that my accessing their server indirectly is not acceptable. > Imagine you could just enter a worldwide address and get > a citymap within seconds on your palmtop with this address > marked! :) Mike ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 16 Sep 2000 21:08:24 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Stefan.Peichl@T-ONLINE.DE Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stefan Peichl Subject: Re: GPS coordinates with the 200LX Comments: To: Mike Kopplin MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit > call the batch file GIF.BAT with the name of the picture > without the GIF extension: > > GIF NY > > this will convert the interlaced NY.GIF to the standard NY.GIF > and will also output a NY.PCX I forgot to mention, that you may also use wildcards to convert more than one GIF. If you downloaded New York in different zoom modes and named the files NY1.GIF ... NY4.GIF, then you may say GIF NY? or GIF NY* or GIF * to do the conversions. Be careful with the last command, because this would delete all BMP and PCX files in your directory. Hence I recommend the other 2 methods. If anybody knows of better (faster) programs to do the conversions, please let me know. Best would be indeed, if MapBlast could be forced to output standard GIF.

Get mail (more specifically HPLX mailing list in digest form) thru Eudora. Save the mailing list to the CF card. Read the list in 200LX whenever I get the chance. Whenever I pick a file to open in HV, it lists them in the order DOS saves it. It seems DOS saves the files in random order and not in FIFO order. This specifically happens when I still have list files in the CF card and I would like to update and add more. Instead of finding them being added at the end of the directory list, they are added randomly.

If you just get a cross hair, it means you're probably in the middle of nothing. Make sure you are entering the lat/lon in decimal degree format.

Then your file order problem is somewhat the same as mine when using LXPIC (as I mentioned earlier) .... LXPIC also displays file images in "directory order". Actually, DOS does save the files in FIFO order originally (on a pristine FAT), but over time as files get deleted, "slots" get opened in the FAT list, and DOS's real priority is to save the name to the first available slot, so the order starts getting jumbled. In that case, I agree that there appears to be nothing else that would help you (or me) but a utility like DS.exe. All this discussion about DIR options is meaningless when you're talking about the file list in an application's (HV in this case) File/Open menu ... since the order or presentation is entirely up to how the app is designed to show it (and directory order is probably easiest to code). Anyway, perhaps the two-stage save that I suggested above will prevent the disk anomalies that cause DS problems later. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2000 12:18:38 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Stefan.Peichl@T-ONLINE.DE Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stefan Peichl Subject: Re: GPS coordinates with the 200LX Comments: To: Mike Kopplin MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Mike Kopplin wrote: > > Any chance to get the maps with 640 pixel width > > I've changed the size to 640*200.

Well his products have enhanced the LX's of some of us that have bought from him. I don't know if that has improved my presense on the list but my 200LX is a bit better backed up with the flash cards I bought and my pcmcia cards are safer and easier to carry in the padded cases I also bought from Scott.

So I still prefere the batch file I found an old version of giflib that I compiled on the palmtop. One of the utilities in the package is gifinter which converts from interlaced to non-interlaced and back. I've only tried it a little bit, and haven't had a chance to really compare it to your gif.zip solution. It seems slower though. I might try a newer version of giflib, or the less controversial libungif. > I have to play again with Pocket MapBlast: > > http://www.mapblast.com/pblast/wgetMap.mb > > maybe I can get out something useful on the palmtop. This is where I started. It almost works with the palmtop. You just don't get a map :( HV shows it as a SUBMIT button. What this is useful for is though is converting your address to lat/lon. The map doesn't display, but if you have "Show Links" set on HV, the links for the other buttons will show the lat/lon coordinates. Look for CT=xxx.xxxxx:yyy.yyyyyy where x is lat and y is lon, then enter these on my lxmapblast page. This is how I was thinking I could add address input on my page. The address information the client enters is sent by my server to the pocket mapblast page, the resulting page is parsed for the lat/lon, then this is used to generate a page that is returned to the client. > > This might also bring up legal issues though. > > Don't get into trouble!

With Linux and its PCMCIA package the drive works very well - I simply insert a card, it beeps, and I can access the contents of a flash card in /flash. Great! (I didn't try other cards than (C)F cards by now). Today I tried to install the Windows driver - Windows recognized the new hardware and installed the driver for it. When I no insert a CF card (Sandisk 48 MB in CF adapter), it beeps twice, Windows says "New hardware found - SunDisk ATA flash. Installing drivers for the new hardware" and the computer hangs.

It's not only confined to electronic media - there is also the major problem that colour photos have a very short life compared with black and white photos. Most families today have only colour photographs of their lives, and already many of these will have deteriorated to the point where they are completely lost. Most of us have wonderful monochromes of our parents and earlier ancestors, going right back to the 1840's, when photography first became common, but our kids will eventually have not one single photo of us to look back on, or to show their kids. A whole generation with no visible traces. Think about it. I'm slowly identifying my most precious colour shots, and both scanning them and getting them reprinted with the (true) monochrome process.

DOS only provides the programmer with 2 functions: -find first directory entry -find next directory entry This is in the "natural" DOS order. If you delete a file, the next file you create takes the directory place of the deleted file. If a programmer want's to present the files in alphabetic order, all entries have to be buffered, sorted and presented in the new order. I can only talk for LXPIC: I don't have the memory to do that on an unpredictable number of files in a subdirectory unless I give up the 64KB code/data limit, which would make LXPIC unusable with HV in a WWW/POST/HV Stack.

Of all of them, the one I have found the most appropriate for the 200LX platform is FoxBase+, the last of the dBase III-type programs. FoxPro for DOS (versions 4.5 and 4.6) are a bit more powerful and "user-friendly" (translations: you can program without knowing how to code). But the screens are pretty dreadful on an LX.

Mattes" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" I use Foxpro 2.6 and feel that's it's one of the most powerful databases you can have on the LX. I'm also pretty familiar with the X-base language it uses. Foxbase+ is a lot lighter (a lot less commands) and may be better suited for you if you have space constraints. If you want to learn foxpro programming then it's worth it. If not, I hear that Paradox is easier when it comes to using the user interface. Someone else mentioned the pc-file program (free!)and that's also good if you want a menu-driven DBMS. Another good choice is data perfect (free!). I think that DP doesn't do programs but it will do macros. Here's an ebay auction for foxpro/dos. I think the last dos version was 2.6. http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=438290465 If you're having trouble finding foxbase or foxplus, let me know. I think I may have more than one package and can sell ya one. I went nuts a while ago trying to find it on ebay and other sites and wound up with more'n one 'legal' package with original disks. BTW: This guy also has foxpro for download. You may want to buy a legal windows copy if you download this as it is probably illegal to own otherwise. It may be illegal, regardless but at least you know you did the right thing.

There is still one problem: Maps based on address input are immune to the zoom factor. I analyzed how zoom is done in Pocket MapBlaster, but it doesn't work with our approach. Pocket uses &LV=4 as default, &LV=3 for zoomin and &LV=5 for zoomout. But it uses a different (very lenghty URL). Maybe you know of an alternative way to zoom, which works for address & coordinate input. Address input is very flexible. I used only part of the streetname and city without area code and got the right map.

Within 2 days the palmtop is back in the middle of a completely new application which boosts productivity by factors. Just download a map of the address you want to visit before you leave home, or do it under way with mobile equipment. Even house numbers in small villages are resolved from MapBlast. Lost in a big city? Never again. Look for the next street name and download a map of your surrounding. Did you notice, that Palm users only have a 150x150 pixel screen available? The HP200LX screen displays 5.6 times more map information. With the ability to download even bigger maps than 640x200, this factor may even be surpassed. The Pocket MapBlast site only offers 150x150 pixel maps, guess why ;-) Mike Kopplin, thank you for your work on your server in Niue (.NU) and thanks to D&A for WWW&HV and I'm glad to see a new LXPIC application.

It has full serial port access via serial, ir, cf slot, and USB, rotatable/zoomable/scrollable screens and more. http://www.pocketdos.com The 540 offers a small package, recording capabilities, color, browsing, flexible input options, compact flash, serial port, ir (including transfers to/from palms...) it's worth a look if you have the need for a smaller package with some options that are not accessable with the LX.

The house numbers there start with 0. it works well in the 'old' german world. Usually even house numbers are on one side of the road, and odd on the other side. Some cities use different notation: Numbers start on one side of the road continually up, and go down on the other side. These cities are strange to me, because I'm already up the road and ready to just cross the street when I verify, that I have to go back all the way on the other side ;-) Stefan ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2000 17:16:29 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , kopplin@TECHNOIR.NU Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mike Kopplin Subject: Re: LXmapblaster Comments: To: Karl DeLyria In-Reply-To: <4.2.2.20000918163633.01d299a0@mail.metaskills.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII > Great program, but if you were to use it to find me you would be off by 1.5 > miles to the east.

Make sure when using gif.bat that you don't add the extension, i.e. if your map is called myhouse.gif you would type in gif myhouse lxpic, gif2bmp and bmp2gif should all be in your search path. I haven't tried gif2pcx, or Windows 2000, so can't help with these.

I am using Sanyo 1500 mA, Com port is switched on when it is required. During travel I also use a PCMCIA 56K modem and an ACCTON network card. Usually I change the batteries after 15h of operation, which is after 2 days. My wife doesn't use it that much, she changes the batteries every week or 10 days. I see a lot of dendencies which influence the battery life. Is this what you might expect too? Is it still less of what you you expect. Basically I did upgrade the hp200lx to DS and 96MB, because I need it for my daily business. And as long as I can work for a couple of days on the net without using a powersupply, then I am fine. Maybe I missed the point where your wrote you expectations are 15 hours of operation, but you only got e.g. four hours. I only did read that battery life in your upgrade hp200lx is much less than expected. Does that mean your expectations are too high or battery life is too short?

Comments: To: PNaunton@AOL.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Phil, There are basically three consumers of power: Cpu, drives & peripherals, screen. Disks (PCMCIAs, PC Cards - I use the terms interchangeably) will definitely consume more if they are the older 12V type. There are also 5V PC cards, and 3.3V. The newer are 3.3V and they consume less power in idle, reading and writing. A speeded up machine will take 15% or so more battery. Screen is a big item of course. There are other peripherals such as the serial port, but you can turn its power off by pressing Ctrl-Filer, F6 (Comm), Alt-E to uncheck the "Enable Com1 Port in DOS" box. Confirm it in the Setup screen (CTRL-Filer), second line, right side. Filer has its own mind! If it is open it will peruse the drives, it will do things (housekeeping) which will add load to the battery. If you have Filer open in a non-SC using machine, or you use Software Carousel, and your currently loaded workarea contains Filer, then don't just close that app, but really-really close it. This application remains "asleep" (and takes memory) when you close it normally as you'd close other applications. The intent of the designers was that if you run out of memory and must delete some file in order to make room on the disk, you can use the "drmant" Filer. The primary example they gave was using Lotus, building a worksheet with valuable data and not be able to save it for lack of storage on the drive. In their mindset, you'd jump to Filer, delete some unnecessary file, then back to lotus and save the file. Why they turned a blind eye to the Lotus "delete file" function (which can delete ANY FILE) will remain a mystery! :-< But we are encumbered with the Filer that cannot be beaten down. There is a bit in the Applications Manager data file designating Filer as a "sleeper". In S.U.P.E.R. you can find CLOSEFLR which you run one time to turn off that bit and thereafter you can close Filer, its activity under the covers will be quashed, and the memory it occupies will be released. CLOSEFLR manipulates file appmgr.dat. To close filer is weird: You open it, then WHILE Filer is open, press the blue &..., find the Filer Icon, press F6 to close. To open Filer again takes two presses of the Filer button. There are other factors in battery consumption that people wrote about. Finally there is you. I found that with a speeded up machine I used the machine more. My time on the machine actually pressing keys went up by about 35%. Not only could I do more in the same amount of time, I also found new tasks to do because I had more time, as well as a more responsive machine. This heightened level of activity translated directly to more writes, more reads, more screen activity - all of them consuming more power from the battery. This is hard to see, because you do not have a handy little "activity meter". (In our ABC/LX we built in a "User Timer" which counts minutes during which you pressed a key on the keyboard, sort of a crude "activity meter".) But that is potentially your largest consumer of power. The cpu tries to go to sleep when it is not needed (even between keypresses). When such occasions are less frequent there will be higher power consumption. These sleep occasions are less frequent on a machine that is more "useful" i.e. a machine you turn to more frequently to do more things on, view information etc. So even if the machine is turned on, it may be "sleeping" more if it less frquently used, thus consuming less power. This means that you will read more hours on the battery, I do not know your work style, but I use my machine anywhere from 10 to 18 hours per day, it works harder than my pen! I get about 8-10 hours on a set of green 1500mAh batteries. When in the office, I always plug it into the adapter. I won't plug our product ABC/LX here, but this helps me keep the battery topped off. If you are working outside away from an adapter, you need to be much more cautious and monitor the battery power drain. If you go for long periods away from an adapter, then you may wish to check out the possibility of creating an external power pack. Righ sufficient batteries so you can get 12V and connect them with an appropriate plug (check the polarity!!!) to the palmtop's adapter plug. The machine will "think" it is on an adapter, bypass using the internal batteries, and in fact will charge them from the external source. Parts can be obtained at Radio Shack, or other such stores. Yes, it is heavy if you use alkaline batteries, but with a 8-pack of lithium batteries it is not so bad. Other arrangements can also be made with the new-fangles gel batteries, and other contraptions. Well, enough... :) Hope all these observations help. Avi M.

All those old DOS memories are coming back! Anyway you guys probaly been thorugh this but I'm gonna ask anyway! Would'nt it be nice to have some high memory UMB's to load a few programs high? Since we have no upper memory that presents a problem, though quarterdeck manifest shows some shadow ram hiding up high. I have been playing with various drivers, and found a driver that will create UMB's in a 64k EMS page frame window. Taking it a step farther, I found that by creating some ems using the emm200 driver along with the other program I can create a 64K UMB area and sucessfuly load drivers high into it. But, the ems200 does not seem to be compatable with the enhanced lim4.0 standards, which while loading drivers high in this manner works, but not for long before a conflict an a resulting crash! The problem could also be the lack of using an better xms manager, since himem.sys wont recognize the cpu in the LX and won't load with the message that a 80x86 processor is required. Am I making sense, or just wasting time? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2000 20:56:19 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Don E.

It will be just as easy to contact hte ISS via 1200bps FSK packet as well as 2 meter FM voice. :) No fancy equipment is needed.

I am not where I can follow the links right now, so you may have to explain that question. Both the ISS and Mir circle the globe once every 90 minutes and at time are actually within sight of each other.

I'm selling it because I don't have anything that uses smartmedia any more, I used to have a camera. This is a full size type I PCMCIA card that you put your smartmedia card in and then read it in a regular PCMCIA slot like on the HP200. No drivers are needed, it appears to be a regular ATA PCMCIA flash card to the computer. It even has a cute little eject button on the card and you can eject the SM card without taking the adapter out of the computer. The card is made by "Peripheral Snapz" (www.peripheral.com). I don't know what the biggest SM card that this will support is, but I used it with 4MB and 16MB cards. It is for 3.3v media only (most stuff is these days). Fully working when I stopped using it. I bought it about a year ago from wal-mart on line for $59. Terms. Price is $25 plus $3 to cover priority mail shipping to you. First e-mail takes it. I can ship to the USA only, sorry. I'll ship as soon as I receive your payment. I'm selling it "as it" but is was fully working when I used it last, and it does work in the HP200 and in my toshiba laptop, and in my desktop reader. I don't know if it will work in an HP100 or not.

It's been many years since I concerned myself with ems and xms, etc. I don't even remember which is which anymore. And I've never attempted to expanded memory on the 200lx. Lot's of people have and I'm sure you'll get some answers. But I can give you some idea of what's in the 200lx that might help a little. There is no expanded memory (I'm going to call it ems to save typing. Correct me if I have it backwards) onboard but there is a memory manager chip that maps memory to allow the use of the apps in rom and the use of ram and the ramdisk, etc. on a cpu that can only see one meg. I don't remember the details but it's fully explained in the development kit from HP. Essentially it lets you remap memory in 16k blocks. Years ago I looked this over pretty carefully (probably in the 95lx days) and decided it should be able to be used to emulate ems with a proper driver. As I remember it could do more than emulate it. It could do the same thing ems does in the same way. It was probably designed by someone accustomed to thinking in ems terms. But a special driver would be needed because it wasn't ems per se. Later someone wrote such a driver and I remember there were problems with the early version but it worked with a lot of things and I think I remember that a later version came along that supposedly worked pretty well. I never used it myself. I don't know what version of the LIM standard it conformed to, if any. If you get the development kit (www.palmtoppaper.com) you can get detailed information about the hardware. I did see a version of an ems driver for the 200lx some years ago that came with source or with an offer for source. I'm not sure which, now. But it might be worth looking for. By the way, the cpu isn't an 8086, it's an 80186. That has no bearing on this but it's often significant since it does have all the non-protected mode opcodes of the 286 and will run any 286 software that doesn't need protected mode. I'm not sure if you really wanted to know any of this but I thought it might help and it was fun trying to remember all this stuff, even though most of it seems to be gone from my head. :) Barry ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2000 11:04:30 EDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Bk361kb@AOL.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bill Krauss Subject: Re: Country list in LXMapBlast Comments: To: kopplin@technoir.nu MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In a message dated 9/20/00 9:47:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time, kopplin@TECHNOIR.NU writes: << If your country, or countries you are interested in, are not currently a choice on the LXMapBlast address page, let me know. >> How about Mexico?

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi friends, does anyone here use a DSL onnection to the internet with the palmtop? I'm considering whether I set up a "T-DSL" connection (the ADSL of the "Deutsche Telekom"). With the desktop PC and linux it shouldn't be a problem, since I only need an ethernet card for the desktop machine. But I'm corious if I can use the DSL line also with the palmtop. Is the ethernet protocol that's possible to use with www/lx also a PPP protocol like the PPPOE (ppp over ethernet) protocol that I have to use under Linux? My decision whether I'll use T-DSL or not doesn't depend on the usability with the palmtop, since I can continue to use the modem with the palmtop (or even set up IP-masquerading and a SLIP server on my linux box so I can connect to the internet with the palmtop via the linux box and T-DSL). Does anyone use such a SLIP setup? (how) does it work?? Actually I wanted to try such a setup a long time ago, but I didn't have a working COM port for a SLIP line, since COM4 uses the same IRQ as COM2, which is used by the modem (COM1 is used my the mouse, so COM3 isn't a choice either). But if I remove the modem from my desktop box when I use DSL, I HAVE a free COM-port and IRQ!!!! 8-) GTX daniel (who is currently very enthusiastc about soon having a DSL line, maybe even useable by the palmtop....) -- Celia & Daniel Hertrich d.hertrich@gmx.de home page: http://www.daniel-hertrich.de mobile phone: +49 (0)177 7955549 unified messaging (fax,voice): +49 (0)721 151 306690 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2000 18:01:32 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Daniel Hertrich Sender: HPLX Mailing List Comments: RFC822 error: Incorrect or incomplete address field found and ignored.

I've done it on Win95, but it's a royal pain. You basically have to unload or disable all of the IRDA pieces and configure the ir port on the Win machine as a generic comm port without hardware flow control. After all of the above, start a com program on the Win machine and set it at 2400 baud 8N1 with no flow control to the IR port and do the same with the LX's DataComm and begin typing on each machine so that you can see the results on the other... then start upping the speed to find out what's possible. LapLink's software did the best, speed wise using the built in software on the menu, but that was back in the days of Win3.1 where the TSR driver could be loaded. In addition, (at least on mine) the LX ir emitter is extremely weak and requires almost window to window contact to communicate. My personal suggestion would be to look at a compact flash card approach to transferring information. Hope this Helps...

LXGPS scrolls maps that are larger than the LX screen size. I have had no problems with 1280x1024 maps that I have generated from screen captures on my system. To use these maps with LXGPS or any other gps program you are going to need to have an exact LAT/LONG position of two widely spaced points on the map for calibration purposes. I'm not sure of an easy way to do this, but one approach would be to print the map you need, then print two additional maps requesting by an approx lat/long of points near opposite corners and overlay them to fix the points on the original map. You could also drive to two intersections near opposite corners with a gps and record their locations. A word of caution. Be careful with these MapQuest maps. For example, an airport shown in my local area is about 5 miles from it's actual location.

If you still want to convert to b&w PCX files, just say lxpic map*.gif/o This will translate offline all your mapxxxxx.gif into the corresponding b&w mapxxxxx.pcx files, without deleting the original gifs.

To make it short, my goal is to turn some of the expanded memory into UMB's (Memory Blocks) where drivers can be loaded into the UMB's as I used to do on my old XT which had an expanded memory board.

Having used other Pamtops in the past and transfering files from the PC to the Palm computers before, I habe problems with Transfile win 200. I hope someone could help me. From which side do I have to start the connection ? On the PC site inside win 200 (connect to HP) or from the HP 200 LX Filer program. ? If you have to start the connection from the HP 200LX, which is the correct Function key inside the filer program ? F6 (Remote) or F10 (Connect). Both function keys seems to start a connection, but what is the difference. When do I have to use the LapLink Remote progarm (on the application manager screen) and what is the difference to the Filer connection ? Inside the System setup there is the function key F6 (coomunication). What are the correct values for IO Address (0000) and Interrupt (0). Is it possible that this values are wrong and therefore I'm not getting a connection to my PC. Many thanks for your help in advance.

Mattes" Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi Frank. It's been a while since I've used Transfile, but I believe the critical things are to make sure both PC and LX are talking to the correct serial port (COM1 on Filer/Communications/Remote Settings/Interface) and the same baud rate (I believe 19200 is the fastest reliable link I've ever gotten). The connection requires that the LX be in Filer mode (with all the above settings in place), and the connect starts from the PC end in Transfile (HP Palmtop/Connect to HP). The "Connect" function on the LX is used for direct LX to LX, or to a PC via the Connectivity Package (a software package like Transfile) ... and isn't used for Transfile. The Laplink remote built-in to the LX allows another PC (running Laplink) to access the LX drives as tho they were native to the PC ... yet another connection option, but an issue apart from Transfile. And your values in System setup/communication are correct (at least those values are the same as mine). The usual problem with Transfile is a bad serial cable, or wrong settings for Com port or baud rate. If you continue to fail the connect, try dropping the baud rate lower (on both ends). Actual Transfile users may want to elaborate or correct the above. - Longden "Frank M. Mattes" on 09/21/2000 03:35:02 AM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to "Frank M.

Having used other Pamtops in the past and transfering files from the PC to the Palm computers before, I habe problems with Transfile win 200. I hope someone could help me. From which side do I have to start the connection ? On the PC site inside win 200 (connect to HP) or from the HP 200 LX Filer program. ? If you have to start the connection from the HP 200LX, which is the correct Function key inside the filer program ? F6 (Remote) or F10 (Connect). Both function keys seems to start a connection, but what is the difference. When do I have to use the LapLink Remote progarm (on the application manager screen) and what is the difference to the Filer connection ? Inside the System setup there is the function key F6 (coomunication). What are the correct values for IO Address (0000) and Interrupt (0). Is it possible that this values are wrong and therefore I'm not getting a connection to my PC. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2000 07:49:25 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Longden_Loo@CANDLE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: Country list in LXMapBlast Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > What I saw was that of the two countries which I would be interested in (Israel > & Australia), the first isnt in LXMapBlast and the seccond is.

FWIW, I found the Australia map useful, if for nothing more than getting a geographical sense of where the cities are located. I agree that such a map has only limited use, but even a similar map of Southern California cities (there are a lot) would be useful to gauge driving distance. The current "add country on demand" seems sufficient as long as the requestor realizes that the country may be lacking in detail. This restricts the list only to countries of even remote interest so Mike doesn't have to load maps for McMurdo Station or Timbuktu (Mali). - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2000 13:54:06 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Striegel, Alan" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Striegel, Alan" Subject: Re: Lotus 123 Norton Guide Comments: To: "MCHEM1@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Thanks Al.

I looked at Mapblast and found that there wasn't enough detail even for my simple needs. I've been using Yahoo maps which give quite a bit more detail. To get there just click maps from www.yahoo.com. It's in the paragraph at the top (3 lines I think) that has so many items it's hard to find one in it, but maps is in there. Yahoo maps gives all of the same options as Mapblast except the PDA download option. But it's a simple matter to save the map as a gif and do what you want with it in some graphics editor. Anything that will read GIF files. Yesterday I played with combining some zoomed maps (with lots of detail) into a larger map and it was fairly simple to do and there results were good. It took a little time but it was faster than I expected. I used Corel Photopaint but I'll bet that any of the small graphics programs that come with digital cameras will do as well.

In bare DOS, no. DOS is not enherently a multi-tasking system. If you load SHARE, you _can_ lock access to a file. Then if you try and open that file in a different process, you will get an error.

I haven't used Transfile Win 200 in so long I really can't help so you'll have to get that from someone else. But I have found a much faster and easier way to transfer stuff. I have a flash card (if you don't have one yet you'll probably be getting one soon) and I added a flash card reader (which writes also) to my PC (SanDisc USB from Best Buy for $49). I can remove the flash card from the palmtop and plug it into the reader and it's instantly seen by Windows as another drive. Drive I: in my case. Then I use Windows Explorer to move stuff. The flash card is A: on the palmtop and if what I want to move is in C: I just copy it to the root directory of A:. For backups I use pkzip to create a copy of C: on A: and then use Winzip on the pc side to make a zip file of the entire contents of the card. That entire process takes less than a minute, much of which is just fumbling. I have a 40 meg flash card. (Got it at Office Depot). Transfile Win200 has a bug (unless it's been fixed, which I doubt). When you transfer a file with it, it applies the current date to that file. It won't leave the date intact. I stopped using Transfile as soon as I found that out because file dates are the way I keep track of some things.

The whole idea behind LXMapBlast is a site which is compatible with WWW/LX and HV, so that it can be accessed by the palmtop directly.

Not at all. Write down the names of the connections you want to use, copy them from WWW.CFG. You will need exact spelling. Now open Post/LX and go to Setup (CTRL-E from inside Post/LX, or run pgm SETUP.EXE). Press F8 to set up various externals etc. Select WWW. Scroll to , press Enter. You will get two prompts. The first one is the name of the item. Make it easy on yourself. You can even put & in front of a letter in that name to make it usable as a hot key. Example: I have one called &Quiet. It tells the modem to shut up. When I want it, I rase the menu (see later) and press Q). Next field is the actual item you want to take effect. Example: In the example of shutting up the modem, I have this: ModemInit=ATl0m0 Now press enter. Next thing to know: Shift-F5 raises the menu of such items. To shut up the modem, I press Shift-F5 and press Q. Next thing to know: Ctrl-F5 brings up the CURRENT configuration. Not all the items, but the important ones. Here is the story behind the the story: WWW.CFG is in memory and POST.EXE has access to it. Maybe you recall that to go online you start like this: www -d "!post.exe" That brings in www.exe and it loads www.cfg in memory, then spawns post.exe. Post.exe paints the email screen. Ok, now what can you override: You can override anything in memory in www.cfg. So for example if you want to switch from one connection (ISPXYZ) to another (ISPABC) set up an item which will simply name the SETUP Name as it appears in WWW.CFG (that's why I had you write them down!) If you want to override a parameter WITHIN the current setup, then you name the parameter and give a new value. Here is my own list to demonstrate... This appears in POST.CFG! Remember, POST.EXE is in control and has the visibility and can make these changes. What you cahnge on the fly like this will NOT END UP in WWW.CFG that is on disk- it is not a cheap way to edit WWW.CFG. It changes only the in-memory copy of WWW.CFG. ÝWWW¨ &Quiet=ModemInit=ATl0m0 This is the modem shut-up. See the parameter is named in WHATEVER IS THE CURRENT setup! Setup DA=DASOFT-OnNET The left side is the name of the item. The right side name setup which is in WWW.CFG as ÝDASOFT-OnNet¨ Setup CIS WLA310-575-4163=CIS this names Setup CIS from WWW.CFG Dial CIS 800-331-7166=Dial=atdt18003317166 This overrides the phone number to dial. Note that I have to repeat the command ATDT too, since this is part of the Dial= parameter Hope this helps. Avi M.

Hi All, The software included with the free cat shaped bar code scanners that are being given away by Radio Shack right now is rumored to be invading the privacy of it's users!

Comments: To: John J Vanderstel MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit No surprise there, methink. If the "cat" allows you to scan something, then see a website associated with it, it goes to figure that this barcode went into some system, with your "username" tagged to it, and spewed out a URL. Now there's nothing that prevents their system from keeping these barcode/"username" pairs for anything ranging from market surveys to special offers. On the other hand, if I remember right, registration allowed you to only specify firstname (no last name) and an e-mail address. But it wouldn't be that hard to go to a full name from there and associate all that data with an individual and figure out all the stuff they have scanned, which means that they most likely own that stuff, allowing companies to actually draws a very precise profile (even if partial) of your posession and deduct spending habits from there.

These new eFilm CompactFlash cards will be unveiled at the Photokina imaging show in Delkin's booth -- Hall 5.1 Aisle A, Booth 001 during September 20-25, 2000. Delkin's larger capacity eFilm CF cards are designed to store the maximum number of high- resolution images taken with today's larger megapixel digital cameras. In addition, they can be used as a removable media for handheld PC's. The eFilm CompactFlash Type II is a slightly thicker card at 5.0mm, therefore capable of storing more flash memory chips than Type I (3.3mm) CF cards. Utilizing superior memory chip advancements, the ceiling has been risen past 128MB to 256MB for Delkin's CompactFlash Type I and 448MB for Type II. The latest CF/II compliant digital cameras like Nikon's D-1, FujiFilm S-1 Pro, and Canon S-20 produce extremely high megapixel images which take up an enormous amount of memory capacity. Delkin's new 256MB CF & 448MB CF/II cards are the perfect solution for shooting more images without having to switch to a lower resolution setting to conserve memory space. These CF cards come equipped with a new high-speed controller for transferring larger image files faster, while still being 100% compatible with every CF compliant device. http://www.steves-digicams.com/diginews.html ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 23 Sep 2000 09:32:24 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , hpstaber@COMPUSERVE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Hans Peter Staber Subject: Re: Mapblast vs Yahoo Maps MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Helmuth, > Mike, > > > The whole idea behind LXMapBlast is a site which is compatible with WWW/LX > > and HV, so that it can be accessed by the palmtop directly.

It depends, I choose from 640 x 200 to 1280 x 1024. The pictures here are black lines on white background.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The scanner does not invade your privacy, it requires several overt acts to supply them with information: 1) You must install the hardware. 2) You must install the special software they supply. 3) You need to have a live internet connection, or one that can be accessed dynamically. 4) You need to have the software running. 5) You need to get an object with a UPC code. 6) You need to scan the UPC code. The profile they keep/can keep is only of the things you scan while connected to the net and have their software running. Exactly where is the suprise? I am sorry, I just get very upset when these "wanna-be" crisises arise... The timing of this offer from Radio Shack was too close to the DoubleClick privacy issue, and people seem quick to jump on the conspiracy bandwagon. The only way they will know you have any interest in Campbells Split Pea Soup is if you walk into the kitchen, grab a can, scan the UPC (for what purpose I have no idea), and let their software access the internet. What did you think was going to happen? Sorry, it just seems so logical, I can't understand the conspiracy theory... If you want to scan bar codes with the "cat," simply install the hardware and scan a barcode. The scanner simply sends a three-part message in the keyboard port: scannerIDnumber:barcodetype:barcode information... - throw away the first one, based on the second, interpret the third number correctly...

For the last few weeks, for no explicable reason, my 32M DS 200lx has been spontaneously rebooting itself. It's thoroughly annoying. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reliably get it to reboot (other than ctrl-alt-del, of course). At first, I thought it started when I started to run a helvetica font .com program from the autoexec.bat but it still happened when removed it. I've also tried removing the 10M Sandisk card for a while to no avail. Actually, what happens is I'm typing away, or switch an application, then press a button (which mostly seems to be the ctrl or shift) and it turns itself off. When I press the on button, it reboots.

First, I'd chkdsk on the internal disk(s) and flashcard to make sure there aren't any file problems, especially with any EMS or swap files. OTOH, a shutdown while pressing the ctrl or shift key sounds like a power fault of some sort. Does plugging AC vs battery power make any difference? The other thing I'd do is the LXative power ritual ... back up all your data (and know how to restore it) ... and drain the system of all the juice to erase all persistent memory (XBRAM?). This will require removal of the AA's and the backup battery, and then pressing and holding down the On key for a minute (to drain the capacitors). I've never done this with a 32mb unit (I only have 8mb myself), so DO THIS ONLY IF YOU'RE CONFIDENT OF BEING ABLE TO RESTORE THE UNIT from a vegetative state. The last thing of course, is to send it in to the palmtop ER (Thaddeus).

LXPIC by default displays 'mixed' color values, which means, the red/green/blue values are weighted and then added. If the normalized resulting value is below 0.5, the pixel is off, otherwise on. This sometimes makes pure light colors invisible. But you can always see the complete information of the image by viewing the extracted red/green/blue parts of the image using the R G B keys. To go back to mixed display, press M. This gives you an idea of what the image contains as information. Often it is sufficient to decrease the brightness by several presses on the 0 key to reveal "hidden" regions or lines of the image. Don't forget, in the worst case (true color image) LXPIC has to map 16.777.216 colors to 2 colors (b&w). I'm still astonished how good it works to simulate 16 mio. colors on the palmtops screen.

It's about ideas and it becomes part of our culture and our heritage and our civilization. Once nobody is distributing it, it should be publicly available. In fact I think our copyright laws should stipulate that if something is not distributed for some period, say a year, it becomes public domain. In the meantime, we have to be judicious.

It does not do time consuming multiple passes through the image to count and map colors. There is nothing to map. I know from the very beginning that I only have black and white as result. Hence output starts immediately after the first pixel line is decoded. And in a true color picture the first pixel could have color value 256x256x256 whereas the second could have color value 0x0x0 or anything in between. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2000 19:17:06 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Bryan Biggers Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bryan Biggers Subject: 40 col reader?

Any ideas? Comments: To: Jeffrey Veiss MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Jeffrey, "Spontaneous" rebooting could be the result of the palmtop sensing an extremely low battery. Here is a possible scenario: You have a pc card that requires a lot of power to write. You also use batteries that have extremely high internal resistance (I believe Duracel may be one such brand). When the battery is relatively low (but not so low to require replacement - you'd still see a good voltage, say 2.51V) and you write to the pc card, the battery "refuses" ro provide the needed power and its voltage drops waaaay down, below the palmtop's minimum required operational voltage. This can happen very quickly, say a second or two. The palmtop "interprets" this voltage drop as no power in the main battery and shuts down. The battery, now relieved of the power drain, now recovers pretty quickly, and the palmtop now sees sufficient power to operate, and it reboots. I highly doubt a program can cause this power drain, although programs are known to be able to cause a reboot. Since you say you removed the disk drive, there is a possibility of some spurious short on the motherboard or peripherals. When you removed the disk, did you run normally and done the operations you usually do, except without disk? In other words, did you get that failure when the pc card was not in the machine?

I do wish that they was a way not to use it in the "vertical" mode, the lines are quite short when you use the larger fonts.

I have found that when I have the following in my HV.CFG, that I can view the maps very nicely with the HV/LXPIC combination: ÝSystem¨ ; Set this to "Yes" if inline GIF images should be shown. GIF=3DYes ; Use LXPIC.COM by Stefan Peichl for rendering inline images LXPIC=3DYes ÝViewers¨ ; In this section you can specify file extensions (in upper case!) and = actions ; that should be done when a file with this extension is encountered. The ; special token "%s" is replaced by the file name JPG=3DLXPIC %s GIF=3DLXPIC %s When I get the map, it appears as a thumbnail much smaller than the screen and it is reverse video because the cursor is on it. I just press Enter and I get the prompt to spawn the external viewer. Then LXPIC kicks in and views the map full screen. And Esc gets me back to HV. The only problem I have is after returning to HV, the thumbnail is all screwed up as is other stuff on the screen that was fine before launching LXPIC. I don't know why.

If the thing that creates fake UMB's needs LIM4.0 and EMS200 does not provide then, then that might be part of the problem. I know that EMS200 is not fully 4.0 compatable. I think this would require a better processor. The palmtop is very similar to an XT achitecture, but there are some important differences. The operating system and all ROM programs are a special kind of code that is XIP (eXecute In Place) meaning that the ROM programs execute right out of the ROM and are not loaded into RAM to run. This fancy footwork is done by the special bank switching hardware and software that works similar to the way EMS does to make more memory available to view in 16K pages at a time. I think your crashes could be happening because the OS is bank switching the ROM and the UMB faker is trying to bank switch the EMS as part of the OS because of the drivers there and they may be srewing eachother up.

I have not actually used DSL, but I have something very similar set up at home. I have a 3COM LAN Modem which is a DHCP server, network hub and 56K modem together in one box. When one of my desktop's on the network at home wants to go online, somehow automagically, it contacts the LAN modem, the modem dials the ISP and then the computer is on the Internet. This works for all four of my Win95/98 computers at home. I can plug a network card into the 200LX and do the exact same thing when going online with WWW/LX. The palmtop gets it's IP address and gateway info from the DHCP and so then it uses the LAN modem to access the Internet. Works great and is faster then using an external modem on COM1 of the palmtop. I suspect a DSL modem would work in very much the same way. The computers on the network with the DSL modem would see it as the gateway to the Internet. Just make sure you have the ability to have multiple computers access the DLS modem - some of them are for single computers only.

I would suspect that if they say this, then it might very well be true. The Motorola StarTAC says very specifically that is will work with any computer and any software for any online work. It is not just for connecting to the Internet. I have used it to dial into the minicomputer at work with DataComm as a simple terminal emulator. The phone you are talking about may not be using the regular digital CDMA for data, but the CDPD data packet switching that is a whole different animal and is only available from the specific provider.

It could be that your phone does both GSM and regular CDMA depending on the service in the area. All that I know for sure is that my Motorola StarTAC tri-mode phone is AMPS (analog @ 800MHz), CDMA (digital at 800 MHz) and PCS (CDMA at 1900 MHZ) but says nothing whatever about GSM.

I got the connectivity cable for my Motorola tri-mode StarTAC 7868 phone right from the same Verizon Wireless store where I got the phone. You can also get it from just about any place that sells accessories for the StarTAC phones. I don't know the Motorola model number, but it is the comms cable and TrueSync sofware for the ST7868W phone. It costs about $100, if I remember.

It all worked as advertised the first time! I almost fell out of my chair. When I was reading the literature about this stuff, I thought it was too good to be true that the phone would work with any software and any computer for any online work. I talked to the guys in the store, I talked to Motorola Tech Support and I talked to Verizon Wireless Tech Support and they were all correct! But you don't just need any CMDA StarTAC, but one with the built-in minibrowser. This is what enables it to send the data over the digital connection as if there was a modem in the phone. And this kind of activity is enabled by an extra charge from the cel provider.

Here is some of what I found. Many newer cell phones support the 'AT' command set. You can obtain an adapter cord that plugs into the phone and has a db9 on the other end to plug into your computer. The $30 kit from Airtouch (Verizon) includes the null modem adapter needed for palmtops. If your cell service provider supports it, this allows you to treat your cell phone just like a generic fax/modem. It emulates a 14,400 bps modem. The computer should be be set to access the cell phone at 19.2kbps with hardware handshaking using a standard serial port. Airtouch/Verizon (at least here in Nevada) supports internet access with a *777 dialup and charges only at the normal air time rates. No special, additional, signup is needed beyond standard cell service. They even provide an smtp server because many ISP's do not allow using their smtp server unless you log in through their network (you can usually access the POP servers from any inet source). You can log directly into the internet using your cell phone (assuming digital service available where you happen to be), get a clean 14.4k connection, and send and receive email, browse the web, or whatever. The only thing you have to watch is that it is real easy to burn minutes on the web! This form of access uses CDMA and, in essence, just 'packetizes' the data from the computer and sends the packets out on the Verizon network just as it does for voice traffic. No modulating/demodulating at all. Direct internet connection using the cell phone 'AT' command set should not be confused with WAP browsers also built into newer phones. WAP service lets you browse special web sites using only your cell phone. Verizon requires a special activation for cell phone WAP browsing and charges about $7 per month for it. You do not need this service if you use your HP200 as a web browser. I am going to have to upgrade my HP200 so I can load the inet software and start some really portable wireless internet! -- Bryan K1CD/7 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2000 16:16:57 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Thomas Rundel Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Thomas Rundel Subject: Re: Silencing a Megahertz PCMCIA modem Comments: To: zaaap@EARTHLINK.NET MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Marc, ATL0M0 works on my Megahertz XJ2144.

Voltage is indeed 220V, and the plugs are 2 prong round ones. I believe there are a lot of RJ11 phone jacks around too. I used to connect to Compuserve via SCITOR, but they have closed it down a few years ago. Here is a passage saved from the Travel Forum of Compuserve when I asked about ISP's for a trip last December: "Best way to log in to Compuserve is through the web and there are many ISPs there that you can subscribe to and be online in less than 15 minutes. Satyam Infoway is a local company that shares its network with CIS and you can look them up on the web."

LapLink Remote Access (LLRA) is a different mechanism for communicatin than Filer/Transfile. They don't work together. LLRA is in two parts. LLRA Server runs on the palmtop from an AppMgr icon and puts the palmtop in server mode for comms with the LLRA utility running on the desktop. The stuff running on the desktop was really designed for Windows 3.1 and does not work easily with Win95/98/NT. This is because the LLRA client running on the desktop tried to create a new drive letters that are really the drives from the palmtop. A couple of large TSR programs need to be loaded in AUTOEXEC.BAT on the desktop, etc. You are much better off with Transfile or with the little command line data transfer program called Zip. I just got a PCMCIA card reader for my desktop and move my flashcard back and forth. > Inside the System setup there is the function key F6 (coomunication). = What > are the correct values for IO Address (0000) and Interrupt (0) These settings are ignored on the palmtop because it is all hardcoded.

Is there a way to fully silence the modem during a session? Since the XJ2144 doesNn't use an internal speaker but the palmtop's speaker, simply load LXPRO or some other utility which allows to adjust the palmtop's speaker volume and before you want to go online without noise simply invoke LXPRO and set the volume to zero. This is the way I do it, and it works very comfortably - no init strings to change, no problems with resetting the modem...

They will need a huge mainframe unless they want to spend a lot of time twiddling their thumbs. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2000 09:28:39 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Steve Novosad Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Steve Novosad Subject: Re: help with connection to PC Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Ken London wrote: > ----- Original Message ----- > >From: "Stanley Dobrowski" > > The stuff running on > >the desktop was really designed for Windows 3.1 and does not > >work easily with Win95/98/NT. > > I use laplink with Windows 98.

The 200LX client then accesses the drives on the OS/2 machine. Works reasonably well. When I get lazy, I sometimes use the Connectivity Pack and FIler. But while this is slower, it allows the 200LX to be the server. Transfile works, but dosen't preserve dates on files and is (seemingly) slower yet. At home, on the old Win 3.1/DOS 6.22 machine, I use INTERSVR on the 200LX and INTERLNK on the desktop. I prefer INTERLNK to LLRA in terms of ease of use. Beause INTERLNK works so well, I never bothered to install Transfile or CPack. If you have trouble using the 200LX as a server try using the desktop as the server.

You can load it on a DOS machine with only a null modem cable (as long as you can get to a DOS prompt) and either machine can be the server. You can use it in local mode as a file manager or in remote mode to transfer files. It also has a server version in the same package. I have my 200LX running FXSVR (server software) connected to a machine at work and the machine across the room has the LX mapped as the H: drive thru our NT LAN.

CIC100? LXCIC? If the first, then try the second. Also look in the docs of LXCIC to see if there is something in there about silencing the speaker at the driver level. If you notice, the "speaker" sounds are coming out of the palmtop's noisemaker, not something inside the modem. I think the point enabler (modem driver) can disconnect that link. I know that when I used a point enabler from ACE Technologies there was no way to get any sounds out of the modem because the driver did not support that.

Is there any way to see all of the text messages going back and forth while WWW/LX is doing the initial dial connection? (So I can see any error messages that are generated for things like expired passwords, etc, that are causing my connection to fail.) 2. In POST.CFG, is there a way to change the HANGUP= option based on the current connection name? i.e. if connected via Compuserve, then HANGUP=1, but if connected via the office, then HANGUP=0? 3. Is there a way to have POST only force the HANGUP if POST caused WWW to dial the connection? (Normally, I have POST configured to hangup the phone, but sometimes it would be nice to have www make the connection, check my mail, and then poke around with HV, without having to redial in the middle.) 4. Or have a hot-key that would allow me to change the HANGUP setting in the middle of a mail download? 5. Also, it seems that if I have PostOnLine=lxcic/r and HANGUP=0 then the modem gets killed while the session is still active, which locks up my system. It would be nice if I could only reset the modem if POST initiated the HANGUP. 6. Right now I seem to have a repeatable problem, where I can invoke www -d !post, press F5 to go online, which dials, connects, downloads my mail, and disconnects. I then read my mail, and then if I press F5 to update my mail, the system dial my ISP, goes through the connect sequence, and then hangs, rather than downloading my mail. Sometimes I can cntl-alt-del to get out of this, but most times I have to do a reset. Is this a known problem? I am using an XJ2144 pcmcia card modem, if it matters.

It is likely that you use CHAP, as do most people anymore. If so, you will not see anything in text format, error or not. If you see such messages now, then you must not be using CHAP.

I don't know about this, do not use that. AFAIK, there is no reason to reset the modem when the connection is closed. Generally you reset the modem when you come in.

This is like pressing the (virtual) reset button of the modem. Indeed you loose the connection. My recommendation is: Load LXCIC resident in your autoexec.bat before you load SC. Then remove all LXCIC fiddling from PreOnline= PostOnline=. LXCIC only uses 1000 bytes resident. Nothing to worry about, but no more problems with improper Pre/PostOnline settings.

What you could do is make a universal travelling set yourself. You take your modem's cable, connect it to a RJ11 Connector (2 x female) on the other side you plug in a RJ11 plug with 1 or 2 meters of telefone wire. you solder 2 crocodile crimps to the wire. If you get no access to the phone jack with your swiss knife, you can is take 2 needles and and stich into the phone cable of your hotel. Now you can attach the crocodile crimps to the two needles and get access to the phone net like this. In the US the inner two wires of the RJ11 plug are used, but in France I found out they use the outer two wires. I would try this at home first to be familiar with your tools when you are abroad. 73!

Russ Hello Russ, Went to S.U.P.E.R. and got PICK. Found a couple of ways to do this. The most straight forward follows. At the command line type ECHO.Set FILE=¬Z > SET.TXT that is the echo command, an optional period to suppress a space, the phrase "Set FILE=", a control-z character, and redirection to the file SET.TXT. The control-z can be generated with the F6 key. Next in a BATch file have the following. PICK copy SET.TXT+C:\FILE.LST SETFILE.BAT call SETFILE.BAT You should now have the environmental variable "FILE" set to the path supplied by PICK.EXE. This should work, if it doesn't, I squeezed a few other ways to do the same thing using DEBUG. BTW, how do you use the environmental variable?

S/390 is a huge IBM mainframe. I assume the MPP is a mainframe as well. The first mainframe I worked on in the late 60's, a Univac 9400 (also an RCA Spectra 70 dual) wouldn't have fit in the kitchen, unless you really had a huge kitchen. And these were among the smaller mainframes of the day. I guess things have changed.

You cannot power down them by command, but they power down by themselves. Once I did some measurement with a voltmeter connected. I don't remember the correct mA values, but I remember well, that an unconfigured modem constantly draws twice as much than a configured modem. That is, you should always have LXCIC installed, if you have the modem plugged in. I guess a plugged in XJ1144 (configured but offline) draws about additional 50 mA. Compared to the usual 10-20 mA of an idle palmtop this is a factor in the range of 2-5, depending on your palmtop upgrade (double speed/64MB). That means, you should always remove the modem after an online run to save batteries. And worst is to keep the modem plugged in with LXCIC disabled. If I remember right, then the modem draws additional 120 mA. Only facts count. It is quite simple to do your own measurement. Just put a voltmeter in line with the main batteries. I use two isolated thin plates of copper, which fit between the + end of one battery and the small bridge between both batteries. I then connect my voltmeter with the two (isolated againt each other) plates of copper.

Steve, I tried your idea but it doesn't work because the BAT file ends at the ctrl-Z which is the end of file character for DOS. Wait... if the SET was in a separate BAT file as the last line and I continued from another BAT file which had CALL'd it this might still work. I'll use the environment variable like this: type %file% This will TYPE the contents of the file whose fileid is in the environment variable 'file'. Of course you can use any command, not just TYPE.

I checked the "PCMCIA Developer's Guide" by Michael Mori and Dean Welder but found not a single entry concerning speaker or dial tone :-( Access to PCMCIA is through INT 1A, but nothing found there either. I assume, access to the PC speaker is hidden somewhere in the INT 1A, which is a BIOS function in the palmtop's ROM. I don't believe, that the speaker is accessed directly by the modem's firmware, because this would imply, that the modem is able to detect the operating system where it is plugged in, which I doubt.

While HV is not suited for general eBay browsing (as far as I know), I did find a way to get my latest auction results in about 20 unattended seconds. I thought I'd pass it along in case anyone needs a similar tool. I'm using WWW/LX Version 3 and Get.EXE available on the DASoft web site. I start the process with the following batch file (eBay.dat): WWW "!GET A:\WWWLX\GET.DAT" hv Get.dat contains a single line: http://cgi6.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand= ViewListedItems&userid=lfeldman&include=0&since=2&sort=2&rows=25 a:\packets\ebay.htm This is on a SINGLE line. If you put your user ID in place of mine (lfeldman), you should be all set. I have since=2 to look at recently closed auctions. HV is set to start with the "last loaded page" - so it loads my results right up. I start my batch file, come back a minute later, and the results eBay numbers are on the screen. You'll find that the screen wraps a bit, but it is 100+ percent, useable. If anyone can suggest improvements - I'd love to hear them.

Yes, do it. But the great thing about this deal is that since you are just using the palmtop's serial port, all of this comms software can be on the flash card. One of the biggest reasons I upgraded my RAM to 32MB was so that I could put the comms software on the internal RAM because I had to use a PCMCIA modem with my old cel phone. Not any more, though. :-) Stan ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2000 06:53:03 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , stanleyd@CARROLL.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stanley Dobrowski Subject: Re: Sudden Slowdown Comments: To: Chris Lott MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Chris Lott wrote: > my vim editor to prepare some text files, when I noticed that the = editor > was acting *very* slow when I would try certain operations, like = inserting > a new line Perhaps it was a memory crunch. If the amount of RAM you give vim to work in is a bit tight, then some operations might slow down because it has to use the swap file more often. And this might not show up as soon as you open the file, but after edit it for a while. Also, it might be made worst by large files. > Anything that would suddenly cause > the flash disk to become real slow all of a sudden? I strongly doubt it has anything to do with this. Your Simple Tech 160MB card is probably quite new and should not have any kind of wear issues because of the little use it has gotten and because it is a new technology that has a very large write cycle life.

You can use DEBUG to greate a file without a Ctrl-Z, but you need DEBUG and the length of the filename. But, if you edit the SET.TXT to remove the Ctrl-Z, the carriage return, and line feed, you could use the /b option to copy the files together. Voila, no Ctrl-Z. The problem there is the built in editors. The WordPerfect editor ED.EXE does very well in this regard. The built in edlin doesn't work in this particular case, and I'm not familiar with Memo. >I'll use the environment variable like this: > > type %file% > >This will TYPE the contents of the file whose fileid is in the >environment variable 'file'.

This might be similar. THANK YOU. I do appreciate your help as we are still backed up testing, cleaning, and refurbishing the Dutch Palmtops here at Thaddeus. A frustrated customer, Angi Bemiss Ýmailto:angi@reaganconsulting.com, emailed us with the following. Can anyone help? Jon - I purchased (from Thaddeus) the Trans PC card to use to print from my 200LX to several printers: a HP 820i (?) and a HP LaserJet 1100, and a Canon BJ80. On Saturday, I spent several hours (ugh!) trying to print from Lotus to the HP 820, which is a color printer. I followed the directions as best I could, but had no success. I called Thaddeus on Mon & the operator suggested that I call Trans Digital. I have called twice, left a message once, but have not had a call back. Also, I looked on their website, but it's the same info that's in the book. Will you please provide me with simple, step-by-step instructions for printing from Lotus? I did get CIC installed. (It said "already installed" when I tried other things, so I uninstalled & reinstalled several different times.) To give you an idea of the type of instructions I need, here are some questions I have: 1. Do I have to install anything on the PC that I'm using? (I didn't) 2. Does the new cable get hooked into the printer slot of the PC and then the normal printer cable gets hooked into that? 3. Can you hook the new cable directly into the printer cable & bypass the PC? (I tried both of these hookups, neither worked.) 4. My interpretation of the instructions is to use Lotus' commands as follows: menu, print, file - this creates a .prn file (I have 2 that I tried to use on Saturday). Then, I tried the commands from DOS of "A:TRANS C:\_dat\123\filename.prn LPT1 /X". This did not work, nor did "A:trans c:\_dat\123\filename.prn LPT1." (the two commands shown on page 14 of the directions). (I tried every possible combination of these commands, including LPT2, since the CIC default says it's LPT2. One looked like it was working but printed nothing, and the other gave a message "no connection".) ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2000 17:48:18 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Klaus Reinhardt Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Klaus Reinhardt Subject: Where can I get the source for 123gÝgg¨?

The connector on the phone end is special and the cable comes with a bunch of software for syncing the phone number list in the phone with PIM applications on the desktop. I don't use a desktop PIM (because I use the 200LX), but they include a simple one. I entered the phone numbers into this and the downloaded them into the phone.

An older version of UNIX "less" might be a good solution. For the vi'ers (I know you're out there), it has vi-style key bindings, powerful search functions, and since it a UNIX TTY app it is most likely flexible enough to work perfectly in all three zoom modes (I think the screen size, as used by the program, can be set on the fly). I wouldn't be surprised if it had bookmarks either. It only handles fixed width fonts, of course. Only downside is that "less" tends to run a bit slowly on the LX, especially newer versions (I think I have version 3.x on my LX, but I don't have it handy to check). An older version might be a good compromise, though. Time to hit the old DOS archives...

I doubt that the source for 123 is available. I'd be amazed if it was. However, they do have an add-on sdk for creating 123 add-ons that let you change a lot. I began to use it once but the project was cancelled so I didn't get very far with it. I don't remember if we bought it or if it was just publicly available. I think the latter. It consisted mostly of documentation IIRC. I may still have it on some archive disk somewhere but it could easilly take many hours to find it. I haven't seen it in a long time. And I'm not completely sure it was in digital form. Maybe it was printed material. I just dont remember. But I'll look around a little and see if it's in any obvious places. I'd also suggest checking with simtelnet and with wotsits.

I took some maps in different scales from the LXMAPBLAST page and calibrated it by determining some significant points with my GARMIN GPS12 system. By connecting the Palmtop to the GPS, LXGPS shows me quite exactly my actual position. To fetch the suitable maps, I gave the coordinates of my holiday area as input and saved the maps using different zoom factors. During calibrating i found one important issue: when using small zoom factors (i.e. 1..3), it is very important to choose the appropriate map datum. I found that choosing the wrong map datum may result in deviations of several hundreds of meters. This is caused by the fact that the globe is not a sphere, not even an ellipsoid (i.e. a rotating ellipse with the poles on the smaller diameter). It is more a so called geoide, something like a potato shaping a ball with peaks and depressions. Therefore in the past each country which made maps of its area defined its own map datum, a model approaching as well as possible its region to a sphere. There exist more than a hundred of different map datums. GPS is using a global map datum, known as WGS84, which is probably also the map datum used by LXMAPBLAST (??). Can anybody reading this list confirm that LXMAPBLAST is using WGS84 as map datum?

MapBlast, and therefore LXMapBlast, uses the datums of NAD83 for U.S. and Canadian locations and WGS84 for the rest of the world.

Russ, the first line simply creates a file called SET.TXT. If this command does not work, you can enter the following on the DOS prompt: copy con set.txt ÝEnter¨ set file=3D ÝCtrl-Z¨ This will create the same file with just one line "set file=3D". When you have this file, you can use the batch file which is listed above.

If an ascii table in a browser window is good enough, go to: http://members.tripod.com/~plangford/ascii.html If you need it as a program that prints the table on the display of your LX, then you might want to look at Simtel (the DOS archive), or a programmer on the list could probably whip up such a program within a couple of minutes or so ;-) Cheers, Laust ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 30 Sep 2000 17:27:14 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Longden_Loo@CANDLE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: VR in vertical mode Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Thanks Laust. A good lead, especially for all the unix people (myself included). I found tcless and less291x on Simtel, and they appear to be versions 48 and 291 respectively (1988 and 1995 file dates).

An older version of UNIX "less" might be a good solution. For the vi'ers (I know you're out there), it has vi-style key bindings, powerful search functions, and since it a UNIX TTY app it is most likely flexible enough to work perfectly in all three zoom modes (I think the screen size, as used by the program, can be set on the fly). I wouldn't be surprised if it had bookmarks either. It only handles fixed width fonts, of course. Only downside is that "less" tends to run a bit slowly on the LX, especially newer versions (I think I have version 3.x on my LX, but I don't have it handy to check). An older version might be a good compromise, though. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 1 Oct 2000 03:30:27 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Laust Brock-Nannestad Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Laust Brock-Nannestad Subject: Re: VR in vertical mode In-Reply-To: <8825696B.0002AA6D.00@n-smtpmta.candle.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Sat, 30 Sep 2000, Longden Loo wrote: > I found tcless and less291x on Simtel, and they appear to be versions 48 and 291 > respectively (1988 and 1995 file dates).

I tried both v48 and v291 on my LX (single speed), but found tcless to primitive (as I recall it had no regular expression search, only plaintext) but fast and v291 very advanced, but too slow.

Besides, what I "m Followed by any lowercase letter, marks the current position with that letter.". According to the manual anyway.

Well, I think I can say you won't find such an app. Isn't VR the only vertical reader for the LX anyway? I was hoping to use the two environment variables "COLUMNS" and "LINES", which are supported by less (v177+) to force it to only use, say 64x20 characters of the display when I'm using one of the zoom modes (less should do automatical wrapping as well), but sadly I haven't been able to get it to work so far. I usually use 80x25, so for me it's not that important anyway. > Nonetheless, it appears to be a useful tool for my LX (and for my NT > station). I use it all the time, on every platform I can.

I believe that's the same modem I once had (my first for the 200LX) and while it worked on the LX, the power drain was marginally high. I determined it was 165ma (online .... and 10ma sleep) based on a website (now defunct) with modem power info. As I said, the modem worked, but it drew a "battery low" message whenever it was inserted and had other light-dimming aspects about it .... most prominent of all being the limited time it was able to operate on battery power. On AC, it was capable, but got a lot warmer than I was comfortable with. My modem was model 3760-b2, and I don't recall the word "Express" on the modem, tho it's been a while since I sold it .... so don't ass-u-me that the above applies to your modem.
