And so I wish you all, observant or not, followers or not, a wonderful New Year! :-) ... And I got this in email, and I like it enough to post it... Enjoy.. Avi M. ÝD&A¨ http://www.dasoft.com ---------- Dear Lord: May we get a clean bill of health from our dentist, our psychiatrist, our ophthalmologist, our cardiologist, our gastroenterologist, our urologist, our proctologist, our gynecologist, our podiatrist, our plumber and the IRS. May our hair, our teeth, our facelift, our Abs, our honey cakes, and our stocks not fall, And may our blood pressure, our triglycerides, our cholesterol, and our white blood count, our weight and our mortgage interest rates not rise. May we find a way to travel from anywhere to anywhere in the rush hour in less than an hour and when we get there, may we find a parking space. May we all relax about the third millennium of the common era, and realize that we still have 239 years until the down of the sixth millennium of the true Hebrew calendar by which time the computer will be long since obsolete and so will we. May G-d give us the strength to get through this presidential campaign and may some of the promises made be kept. May we believe at least half of what the candidates propose and may those elected fulfill at least half of what they promise and may the miracle of reducing taxes and balancing budgets come to pass. May we be awe-struck by G-d's sense of humor as we realize that a professional wrestler could have become president of the United States and that an orthodox Jew has risen to prominence in American politics while remaining true to his Jewish roots. (It is my belief that G-d's joyous humor is the reason he really does not want us to touch our toes while exercising or he would have put them further up our bodies; and, the reason so many of us take up jogging is to hear heavy breathing again.) May what we see in the mirror delight us, and what others see in us, delight them. May someone, as well as G-d, love us enough to forgive our faults, be blind to our blemishes and tell the world about our virtues. May the telemarketers wait until after we finish dinner to call us. May our checkbooks and budgets balance and may they include generous amounts for charity. May we remember to say, "I love you" at least once a day to our spouse, our child, our parent, all of our significant others but not our boss, our intern, our nurse, our masseur, our hairdresser or our tennis instructor. And may the Messiah come this year, and if he does not, may we live as if he has, in a world at peace, with awareness of G-d's love in every sunset, flower, baby's smile, lover's kiss, and every wonderful astonishing beat of our heart.

I think I remember that there is a /A param for the copy command that tells it you have an ASCII file and to deal properly with the control Z.

I haven't done this on the LX but I have done it (many years ago) with DOS computers. The font's are in ROM but there are pointers to those fonts that can be changed. There is a mode command param (codepage= I think, but look it up) that will let you change those pointers. You also have to have a way to install the font in that codepage. A codepage is just a 256 byte area of your memory. I think some utilities have been written to do this for the 200lx. I know there are alternate fonts available. Probably font editors and installation utilities as well. See if you can find them at the 200lx download site. I haven't used these but I do remember seeing them. If you cant find them there are similar utilities at places like simtelnet and jumbo to do the same thing. You can also do the same thing with your printer if you want to print these out, although I'm sure there are easier ways to do that.

And it's uncomfortable to hold that way for any length of time for people with pain in their hands. What do I do? Sometimes if it's a long document I convert it to html or Palm format and use the appropriate LX readers with large fonts. (That's my preferred way for stuff I access a lot.) I also sometimes use Dart, which should be able to be found on Simtel and which has configurable windows. Sometimes I use that plain old stand-by List for quick viewing - and if it's a long document, just split the window and jump back in. (Half a List page is perfect in the 2nd zoom mode.) There is also a text browser built in QShel100 (? - I think that's the name) called broswe100.com which isn't too bad. I'd buy an HR.

If I make the font large enough in VR to be comfortable for me, the lines of text are very short because of the vertical orientation, and a lot of eye movement is required to read. I'd prefer the horizontal format with that same font, giving fewer lines of course, but longer ones that would be easier to read. Also, in horizontal mode you can set the machine down, and prop the screen at that perfect angle, which I like for hands free reading. I have been using List in horizontal mode. Either of the zoomed HP fonts is OK for me, but of course list has no idea that you are doing that and it looks bad. I tried quickview, but it is a system manager application, and I have been straight DOS up until now. (BTW, I'm solving the problem by getting progressive bifocals!)

Copying to the PRN device is ASCII by default (I think.) Copying to a disk is weird. Sometimes it's binary, and sometimes it's text. (Version differences? Extension dependent?) A holdover from CP/M, the text copy will copy a file up to the end of file marker, and nothing after. As CP/M didn't specify file sizes in bytes, but only in sectors, this was required to clean up the end of text (and other) files. As MS-DOS specifies the length of files to the exact byte, this handling is only necessary when copying from the CON device, where you need some way to tell the system where your input ends.

I will designate my post FLUFF but will refrain from public discussion about religions, religious beliefs, and so on. It is simply not appropriate, IMHO, even in a Fluff-designated post. To me religion is private, at most discussable one-on-one. That is one way to keep tyranny out of religion. I am sure you and I will have a delightful go at this in private emails, and I am looking forward to it. All the best! Avi M.

May I qoute the Jungian psychoanalyst Edward C Whitmont from his book The Symbolic Quest:Basic Concepts of Analytical Psychology: "Our culture is logical directed,but concerning our most basic problems rational logic can't give sufficient answers... ...Some of the results in this world of this one-sided emphasis is indivdual and collective neurosis,which always are a latent danger of explosive outbursts.Addiction to alcohol,drugs and psychedelics expresses also a seeking for emotional experiences which have been lost in the course of our extreme intellectualism.... ...The disparaging and neglecting of sense and intuition in aid of logic = and reason has left the western human with unsufficient developed conscious resources to orient herself in the inner psychic world,and what is not developed consciously remain primitive and may pose a threat... ...it is very hard for the intellectuals of our time to find a way out from the unbalansed psychic situation they are in" Jung himself meant that people who only emphasised their rational logic may very well get emotionally mutilated.

First, I am about to purchase an external 2G Jazz drive, which will primarily be used with my Windows desktop/laptop computer. I had originally wanted one that worked over the parallel port (like my ZIP drive), but was told by the computer store clerk that don't make the Jazz with this interface. I presume the interface is a SCSI PCMCIA card. Was there not some discussion awhile back about being able to operate a SCSI PCMCIA card in your palmtop? If so, would this make possible the use of such an external Jazz drive? I would be willing to limit my operation to DoubleSlot (w/external power supply) if necessary because of excess current draw. Anyone used PCMCIA SCSI with their palmtop? Anyone hooked up a Jazz drive? I've used my Zip drive with the palmtop just fine. Having Jazz capability would be a real hoot. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

Having Jazz capability would be a real hoot I think the problem with a SCSI card in the palmtop was one of power (although the doubleslot would fix that), but also of drivers. It may be tough to get DOS 5 drivers for the card that do not require a 386 or better processor and lots of memory. Even if you could find the drivers, you may not have much RAM left for running applications. I would like to suggest an alternative that I use. I have a 2GB ORB drive on my desktop PC that I can access very easily with my palmtop when I put a network card in my 200LX and access the shared drive on the PC. I can map a drive letter on the 200LX to the shared resource on the desktop. The network drivers are not too big and the network card does not draw too much power that I need a double slot (but I do use an AC adapter). It is rather cool to be surfing the 2GB removable media with the palmtop's Filer. Of course, none of this is portable because of the desktop, but the same setup with a notebook sharing a Jazz drive would be.

I've used the Jaz Traveler, but not w/ my palmtop. It works fine w/ the parallel drive of a laptop (quite slow though). You have to load some drivers from the CD that either comes w/ the Traveler or the Jaz (can't remember ... I think they BOTH have it for Windows). I remember doing the Add Hardware wiz-thing and browsing for drivers, getting a whole SLEW of choices, including the parallel port. I guess the question will be ... Can the drivers work in DOS (they may have DOS drivers for the Traveler) *AND* is there room to run the Jaz drivers and the TransDigital drivers in DOS? Or, if you can run both, are you able to run anything else? BTW, Iomega now makes a USB-to-Jaz (SCSI) cable (that may only work w/ Jaz ... dunno if it would let you go USB-to-all-SCSI), giving you another path for your laptop. Now, if someone would make an HPLX-to-USB adapter!!! (I know, "It's called a 'laptop' in the middle" ... but I'd prefer a smaller adapter).

Saw something on the list, a few days ago, about printing from the HPLX to the HP Photo printer (PhotoSmart P1100). Best Buy dropped the price on this printer by $150 (in case anyone wants to run out and get one. Anyway, *first* I tried the IrDA printer that lets you print from LX built-in programs; then I downloaded the JetEye program from SUPER (figuring there might be a difference ). I've loaded it, added all the stuff I was supposed to ... and it doesn't work. The LX instructions say: 1. install the driver for com1: (that is the default) -- Did that. 2. use the included utility "jetutuil" to enable the driver -- Ran it, and it said, "the driver is enabled, do you want to disable it?" 3. make sure that the power to the com port is on -- did that. 4. use the command "serctl /i" to setup the IR port -- did that. 5. if you are printing from the DOS prompt and/or from DOS programs that are set to print from the lpt1: port then use the command "mode lpt1:=com1:" -- did that. The DOS-install program copies the main .sys and the util .exe to C:\ it also modifies the config.sys with: device = C:\irjeteye.sys COM1 And, I added the following to my Autoexec.bat: serctl /i mode lpt1:=com1 AND I "rem-ed" out the Keyboard and OTHER IR driver start-up commands in the autoexec.bat. I tried printing from PE (stops working ... says, "Printing (margin = 5)" forever) and I tried printing from Word Perfect (knowing it was set to LPT1) AND I tried setting WP to print to COM1 (skipping the mode redirect). Nuttin' happens. I'd be happy if the little "attention" light, on the printer, blinked and it printed gibberish, but nothing happens at all (not even a blinking light on the printer). Is this supposed to work, or is the HP P1100 not able to accept anything but Windows commands? I would think it can print anything, because it has the HP "JetSend" port (is it HP "proprietary" with some camera system .... and NOT "JetEye" compliant?) *AND* I can insert a CF card, w/ photos on it and print an index page and select photos for printing WITHOUT having a computer hooked to it(!)..... TIA for any help. More problems (um. challenges) to follow .

Sending devices have to be JetSend enabled. The HP Jornada 548 claims to be JetSend enabled, so I infer that you need a JetSend driver to drive the IR port in a way that is compatible with the JetSend port on the printer. So I am also certain that the printer will *not* work with the LX (or for that matter any laptop unless you get a JetSend driver). HP printers state that they are "JetSend FIR enabled" so there is a possibility that these are 4mbps ports, and may not talk down at 115k. The technology has been licenced by Canon, Konica, Lexmark, Microsoft, Siemens and Xerox. Part of the idea is that printing will not need a PC (or similar), so digital cameras etc will be JetSend-enabled. As to writing a driver, I note that for at least one integrator the DLL for JetSend was provided by HP, so I fear that the actual protocol may not be published.

Sorry that I have to contradict here. The HP200LX supports the HP95LX graphics completely. The palmtops special graphic routines of INT5F work on both, the HP95LX and the HP200LX. The only new functions of INT5F for the HP200LX is font selection and scrolling.

You should try Goin' Postal. AFAIK it doesn't use PAL (INT5F) but normal text screen modes. If it supports MDA screen mode, you might have luck on the HP95LX, which only supports MDA. Indeed you have to scroll the HP95LX screen to see the 80x25 information and memory may be another issue besides the modem. The HP95LX serial port only uses 4 pins. This is usually not enough to connect an external modem unless you short circuit some handshake lines on the modem and palmtop side. I would also recommend for an upgrade to HPx00LX before you spend countless hours and finally have to give up. I cannot think of a good reason, why to stay with the HP95LX. Less memory, less battery duration, less DOS compatibility, smaller screen... You only gain, if you upgrade, you loose nothing.

FWIW, I've gone thru quite a few sets of NiCads and NiMH cells on my 4 year old LX (cracked and showing its "lines of distinction") and have yet to encounter any difficulties resulting from the charging heat ... knock on wood.

Everyone likes to promote what they feel is right. Some people are more vocal, that's all. Bottom line is, these discussions allow each and everyone on of us to relate to each other, and more especially to get to know each other. The alternate subject (non-hplx) allows us to do it at a different level than the "gadget/pda" level. Ever discovered how suddenly you got to "know a co-worker much better" after sharing a lunch or a pitcher of beer? Same here, without the beer. Granted, the amount of noise should stay fairly low (i won't draw the line here, but it's not that much harder for me to delete messages about lx-related discussions that don't interest me as it is to delete fluff messages), but i don't think it should be avoided.

When I suggested an upgrade, I thought you were using the 95 for a long time and I was suggesting you dump it and buy a 100 or 200LX. You cannot physically upgrade the 95LX. To be honest, you probably should not have bought the 95LX. It is severly limited and will have a very hard time doing the stuff you already want to do with it. As others have suggested, a good idea would be to find a 100LX or 200LX on eBay. Your best bet would be to get a refurbished 200LX with double speed processor and memory expansion and warranty from www.thaddeus.com.

The problem is the current, though. The palmtop can only supply 150 milliamps to the card in the slot which is rather too low for most network cards. I don't know the specs on that card, but you should see if you can find that out before trying it. The other problem might be trying to get the proper drivers for that card. The PCMCIA controller in the 100/200LX is proprietary and does not work with generic DOS slot drivers that might come with the card. You can try the network card drivers specially written for the palmtop and generic network cards and see if they for with your card.

Maybe I am wrong. > If a program > -detects hardware (INT15) > -sets screenmode (INT10) > -does graphics (INT5F) > it would work on both, the HP200LX and HP95LX machines. > The program only has to be aware of different screen dimensions I don't know the technical details you are speaking about. But in layman's terms, are you saying that a program written to use the PAL libraries, for example, will work on the 95LX? Or that a DOS program written to use CGA graphics will work on the 95LX?

It is the StarTAC ST7868 phone and the Motorola "Data Connectivity Kit with TrueSync Software". It was about $100+ for me also. It is a phone to DB9 cable that just needs the HP serial cable and the black DB9-DB9 adapter to connect the two cables. The TrueSync software runs in Windows and works nicely to configure the phone and sync the phone's phone list with the PC, but is not needed to go online. > Do they charge extra to allow data access? > What's the speed like? > Do you have to get the web option enabled too? > Do you just dial your own ISP? There is no "data access" charge, but there is an extra monthly fee for enabling the web option (the mini-browser in the phone) and that is what allows the data to work also. It is $6.95 per month with a special deal for the first 3 months free. Of course, you also have to pay for the air time and toll charges as if it was a regular voice call. The speed is 14.4 kbps as indicated on the display of the phone. That is all I have ever seen. The throughput is the same as my desktop 14.4 modem using the same 19.2 kbps COM1 speed setting connecting to the same CompuServe phone number. Virtually no difference. I don't even have a special phone book entry in either WWW/LX or acCIS for use with the cel phone. I just use the desktop modem with land line or the cel phone as the situation calls for without any difference in the way I go online. It could not be easier. Even at home, I use the cel phone when the wife and kids have the phone lines tied up. When I am out of my local area, I usually dial the CompuServe 800 number with the cel phone to save on toll charges, otherwise I always just call the local CIS node in NJ.

I remember one time several years ago while I was president of my labor union. We were in negotiations with the employer trying to settle on a cost of living raise figure. I already had the salary guides and all of my members' salary figures in Lotus 123. As we were taking about various figures, I was plugging them into Lotus and running up the figures. Nobody really paid much attention to my work on the palmtop because it is so unobtrusive compared to a full sized notebook sitting on the table. When we had pretty much settled on a number, I excused myself from the room for a minute and hooked my palmtop to the nearest laser printer and printed the sheets with all of the exact up to the second figures. When I came back in, someone mentioned that now they would have to try to figure out what the new salary scales would look like and that is when I just handed them the report already done!

These are the functions provided by the INT5F on both the 95 and 100/200. Because they are not available on a normal desktop, they have do be emulated there with a TSR like PALRUN, INT5F or PALMPC. > and the 100/200 uses more > or less standard CGA that can be supported by just about any C > compiler's graphics libraries. you are right. For this reason, almost every CGA program for desktops is running on the 100/200, but not on a 95, because the 95 uses another display memory organisation than CGA does. Standard CGA programs written for desktops indeed don't use the palmtops built in graphics routines. If a program for the palmtop is written using the PAL library, it makes heavy use of the palmtops built in graphics functions, because PAL is based on these functions. But that was not a must in PAL design. PAL could have used an own set of functions independent from the INT5F. Then the programs written with PAL would have run immediately on any desktop, without the need of a TSR emulating the palmtop. Indeed, such programs would have been bigger in size, because they had to carry the code, which is now used from ROM. > ... are you saying that a program written to use > the PAL libraries, for example, will work on the 95LX? no, I don't think so, because PAL does much more than only do calls to the INT5F. What I was saying, is, that a program only using INT5F also runs on the HP95. But the program must be aware of that, by first detecting the model, because the screen mode has to be set different on the 95 than on a 100/200. But once the screen mode is set, the rest of the code can be identical. Even if output is designed for 640x200 pixel, you will see the upper left quarter of the screen on the 95. This is the so called clip feature of all palmtops (95/100/200): The graphics functions of INT5F use virtual screens of any size. Once you defined such a virtual screen, output is automatically restricted to this screen size. This is a tremendous feature of the palmtop, used too less in programs available for the palmtop, but let's see ;-) > Or that a DOS program written to use CGA graphics will work on the > 95LX? no, because the 95 has no CGA, it is more something like Hercules.

That's a good point. It normally takes about 10 minutes to convince someone else, that my religion is better. The first question is always: "How much does it cost to convert to your religion?" I answer $1000 (HP200LX+flashcard+modem+SC+WWW). Next question: "But then I can believe in all you just showed me?" I have to answer: Well, if you studied all bibles and know how to apply them, yes. "Is it hard to study?" Yes "Could you help me and can I always ask you, if I have problems?" Hmmmm "OK, I guess, I'll stay with WinXX, it's so easy to believe in it, even if it let's me down from time to time. I don't like bible study, but I really admire you and your little religion." That's what usually happens, and I started to realize, that my 'religion' is not suited for everybody. No, it only suits for very few, becoming less every day. If I see, how they treat their religion, and what they know about it, I honestly don't want to have them in my religion. Hence I'm no longer a missionary ;-) Stefan ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2000 19:48:47 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Barry Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Barry Subject: Re: HPLX-L Digest - 3 Oct 2000 to 4 Oct 2000 - Special issue (#2000-339) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > Sorry that I have to contradict here.

Using your own graphics functions is much faster than using the Int 5Fh functions and that's easily done in CGA. It doesn't preclude using the int 5Fh functions, too, but it does completely kill 95lx graphics compatibility.

It's just the difference in the fonts, I guess. Also the key arrangement is more intuitive on the 95lx. I can go from the 200lx to the 95lx and be used to it again in 2 minutes. Going back to the 200lx takes a lot longer. No doubt the 200lx is the more powerful machine, by far. But the 95lx is more elegant.

I ran into a situation at work where they had a file come in from Boston in the wrong format and they needed a conversion program NOW. I was the one they always called on for that kind of stuff, being the systems programmer. But I had been putting off lunch and I'm diabetic, which does bad things to me if I don't eat. And nobody was around to bring anything to me. I had QuickBasic on my 100lx so I copied some file samples to it, printed out the 2 formats and took off to lunch. When I got back several people were steaming. A lot of money depended on this. So I pulled out my trusty 100lx, transfered the exe to my desktop and started the conversion over the network. It worked like a charm. It would have taken me longer to do it sitting in the office listening to them trying to rush me. Interesting that it ran fairly fast. That surprised me, too. I guess expecting basic to be slow is a habit left over from the 4.77 mhz days. Later I would have used Turbo C but this was in the days when a 2 meg sram card cost several hundred dollars.

Thanks to Mack's efforts, I was fortunate to obtain the beta version Times2 32 meg 200LX I use today. It has yet to fail me. While the TRG Pro has replaced my beloved 200LX in many areas, the 200LX is still "THE PORTABLE BIBLE REFERENCE MACHINE". Through all of my 200LX adventures, Avi and his company have provided software, support and friendship that is to be commended. Besides, from my religious perspective, at least Avi got the first half right!:) For the record, I do pay attention to, and observe the traditional Israelite Holy Days and Feasts. The bottom line is the primary function of my 200LX today is to run Bible software. I am a self confessed computer junkie, but my 200LX's primary function is to support my Christian religious belief. With all do respect, Colin Ken wrote: > > please keep this list religion-free; > > Can't...the 200lx is my religion. That's a good point. It normally takes about 10 minutes to convince someone else, that my religion is better. The first question is always: "How much does it cost to convert to your religion?" I answer $1000 (HP200LX+flashcard+modem+SC+WWW). ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 5 Oct 2000 15:09:46 +0800 Reply-To: "Roger S."

Or just keep the same $65 offer as with the "old versions". Otherwise you are pretty much telling your current registered users that you are letting them go. It's a gamble: some may upgrade, and some may simply decide that since their earlier investment is not worth the trouble of D&A, they simply won't go the the next release. Sometimes it amazes me: so many times we, the people on this group, are disappointed to see that manufacturers of DOS software suddenly decide to stop supporting their loyal users. And then we keep hearing people talking about Microsoft, coming out with release upon release of buggy software, but not supporting the older versions, even if many of these earlier versions were working quite well and will undoubtedly work quite well in 50 years (Lotus 1-2-3, albeit not an MS product, is a good example of that. And now we hear about older version of LX software that will not be supported anymore. I see a pattern here that even our little community don't seem to be able to avoid. Now, I won't argue the problems of supporting users in a small shop like D&A is keeping. There's not easy way out of this. But at least they should give their earlier registered users a little token of appreciation for their loyalty, methink. Either that, or perhaps a yearly maintenance/support fee model should be used to keep a steady stream of revenue while allowing D&A to give users something in exchange for this fee rather than giving it for free. Just some ideas rolling around in my head...

(memory effect) This is also true for NiMH Accus, although less than in NiCd. The heating of the Palmtop when charging is from the voltage control circuit and not from the Nicd's.

I ran into a situation at work where they had a file come in from Boston in the wrong format and they needed a conversion program NOW. I was the one they always called on for that kind of stuff, being the systems programmer. But I had been putting off lunch and I'm diabetic, which does bad things to me if I don't eat. And nobody was around to bring anything to me. I had QuickBasic on my 100lx so I copied some file samples to it, printed out the 2 formats and took off to lunch. When I got back several people were steaming. A lot of money depended on this. So I pulled out my trusty 100lx, transfered the exe to my desktop and started the conversion over the network. It worked like a charm. It would have taken me longer to do it sitting in the office listening to them trying to rush me. Interesting that it ran fairly fast. That surprised me, too. I guess expecting basic to be slow is a habit left over from the 4.77 mhz days. Later I would have used Turbo C but this was in the days when a 2 meg sram card cost several hundred dollars.

Ah, the memory effect. I've been on NiMHs for so long that I'd forgotten all about that issue in regards to NiCads, thanks Werner. Yes, NiCads supposedly require more aggressive "conditioning" in how far you deplete them, and then in how completely you recharge them. Partial discharges and recharges apparently reduce the capacity of the cells over time, tho I'll admit this is more from consensus than experience since I had used only one set of NiCads before switching. I pretty much abuse my NiMHs in every way (partial-complete discharges, partial recharges, monstrously long overcharges) ... with no discernible ill effects to either cells, LX and more importantly to the owner. - Longden (actually maybe the ill effect is that MY memory is going .... ) ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 5 Oct 2000 06:59:42 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Longden_Loo@CANDLE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: READ as HR Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii << > - Longden (who still wants an HR mode on his VR) This is an idea!

I don't have another device that takes PCMCIA so I couldn't copy spd31.exe onto it that way. Some of the files and directories are still there, they are just scrambled and some have substituted letters with random characters. I decided to try Transfile because my copy of zip212 on the PC card was corrupted or whatever.

The driver is needed to for the serial port as well as the display, timers, and a couple other things. To get the driver onto a clean machine, you can either use a memory card which will always work, or the serial cable by setting the baud rate of the desktop to twice the baud rate of the palmtop. The procedure is described in more detail on my web site (follow the link to hardware upgrades).

If so, why not write an app to do the opposite, decrease the ram disk and increase the physical ram. If the physical ram could be increased as continuous ram, then there are small drivers which can let DOS see and use the extra ram, thus increasing total useable physical ram, just like we used to do on the good old XT desktop puters.

It cites one of Dr.Schlambaugh's final test questions for his final exam for 1997. ÝNote: Dr. Schlambaugh is known for asking questions on his finals like:"Why do airplanes fly?"¨ In May 1997, the Momentum, Heat, and Mass Transfer II final exam question was: "Is Hell exothermic or endothermic? Support your answer with a proof." Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law or some variant thereof. One student, however, wrote the following: "First, we postulate that if souls exist, they must have some mass. If they do, then a mole of souls also must have a mass. So, at what rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving? "I think we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it does not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for souls entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some religions say that if you are not a member of that religion, you will go to Hell. Since there are more than one of these religions, and people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and all souls go to Hell. "With the birth and death rates what they are, we can expect the number of souls in hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change in the volume of Hell. Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the ratio of the mass of the souls and volume needs to stay constant. "A1) So, if Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. "A2) Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase in souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. So which is it? "If we accept the postulate given to me by Theresa Banyan during my freshman year, that 'It'll be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and taking into account that I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then A2) cannot be true..., thus, Hell is exothermic."

To my knowledge, all the old programs just created bank-switched memory for EMS or some other spec that was usable for program data only (and only for programs coded to use it), and this we can already do. If your LX was upgraded with memory from Times2Tech or Thaddeus, it should have included EMS drivers that allow the extra memory to be used as LIM 4.0 EMS. But your real executable memory area is still about 640K (even with a 96mb memory upgrade), because the problem is the limited range of memory addressibility possible with a 80186 processor. - Longden Ron Stalma on 10/05/2000 07:23:18 PM Please respond to Ron Stalma To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: Another Hairbrained Idea!

The problem is that DOS was written for a cpu that only had 1 meg address space, so it was written to only be able to use one meg. Part of that meg isn't ram but is ROM bios and part is video ram and part is usually unused address space. If you remember the XT days, the only way to go above 640k was to use expanded memory. That was usually in the form of a card with some ram on it and a memory management chip that would let you see selected 16k blocks of that ram in a 64k window above the 640k but still within the 1 meg address space of the CPU. That can be done on the 200lx since it has hardware to do bank switching that, with a special driver, can be made to emulate expanded memory. Later, in the AT, we also had extended memory. The 286 of the AT could see memory above one meg, even though Dos wasn't written to use it. So a special driver could be written, or hardware memory managers could be used to move things into and out of that memory dynamically. Some programs even included some protected mode code that could use that memory directly. The XT couldn't do this. The 200lx is really an XT although it does have many AT features.

Accton's US distributor, Lan Market in Irvine, CA _say_ they sell them retail, but they have not answered phone or email for awhile, I am not even sure they are in business. - Are there other - known to work - cards for the purpose. I know there are hundreds of NICs out there but would be interested in your own account if you actually used another card successfully and satisfactorily in the palmtop. Appreciate any feedback.

In general if you described the hardware level of an hp200lx to anyone that is familiar with computer hardware they would state that it is very obsolete. On a personal level you, and others, still find it useful so you do not deem it obsolete but to the general populas it would be deemed obsolete, just as would a horse and buggy, a biplane, or a steam driven locomotive. Obsolete: 1.Abbr. obs. No longer in use: an obsolete word. See Synonyms at old. 2.Outmoded in design, style, or construction: an obsolete locomotive. 3.Biology. Vestigial or imperfectly developed, especially in comparison with other individuals or related species; not clearly marked or seen; indistinct. Used of an organ or other part of an animal or a plant.

If your LX was upgraded with >memory from Times2Tech or Thaddeus, it should have included EMS drivers that >allow the extra memory to be used as LIM 4.0 EMS. >- Longden Well; Since I don't yet have a tech reference on the 200LX, I am not sure of exactly how the memory is mapped. I have a few different utilities to check, but they are not consistant in that they all come up with different info on the memory map of the LX. I suppose this is because they were written for an XT, not the 200LX. Anyway, I used to be able to add an extra 64k of memory to the 640k on my XT's. As far as I know there were two ways to do . The first was to use a driver that will map in 64k from an enhanced expanded memory board, starting at memory address A000, then the driver makes it available, adding the extra 64k to the base 640k memory. My AST emm board worked in this situation. Now,, since we apparently can not use this method because of the EMM in our LX is not mappable and the window is only 16k instead of a continous 64k. The second way might be feasable on the LX, but as of yet I am not sure of what's goin on in the memory mapping of the LX yet. I will try to explain how it worked in an XT........ We know that for DOS to have 640K of main memory, the 640K occupies RAM addresses 0000 to 9FFF. Segments beginning at A000 (the next segment above 9FFF) are not normaly assigned to DOS. However, 64K to 96K of addresses beginning at A000 are often unused on PC's (Is it on the LX?). On an old XT machine equipped with a monochrome display adapter (MDA), display memory begun at segment B000, leaving 64K open from A000-AFFF; on a machine equipped with a color graphics adapter (CGA which the LX has), display memory begun at segment B800, leaving 96K open from A000-B7FF. It is possible to force the system to assign memory for these addresses ( IF IT IS PHYSICLY INSTALLED) and to convince DOS that the memory so assigned is usable by the system, resulting in as much as 736K of DOS-usable memory. It works, I used todo it. Also, the DIP switches on most old XT's machines were limited to a maximum of 640K switch-settable; to go beyond this, it's necessary for the software override the switch settings. } RON { ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 7 Oct 2000 09:03:24 +0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Teo Soon Bock Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Teo Soon Bock Subject: Re: FLUFF: "In My Uncertainty" Comments: To: Jim Westley In-Reply-To: <002101c02f36$0c9e1500$e0823dd0@WORKGROUP> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed >My question to the group is: There is a poem called "In My Uncertainty", >and I am trying to find out the author, and is there a place on the www >where poems (and poets) can be researched?

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii << Anyway, I used to be able to add an extra 64k of memory to the 640k on my XT's. As far as I know there were two ways to do . The first was to use a driver that will map in 64k from an enhanced expanded memory board, starting at memory address A000, then the driver makes it available, adding the extra 64k to the base 640k memory. My AST emm board worked in this situation. Now,, since we apparently can not use this method because of the EMM in our LX is not mappable and the window is only 16k instead of a continous 64k. The second way might be feasable on the LX, but as of yet I am not sure of what's goin on in the memory mapping of the LX yet. I will try to explain how it worked in an XT........ We know that for DOS to have 640K of main memory, the 640K occupies RAM addresses 0000 to 9FFF. Segments beginning at A000 (the next segment above 9FFF) are not normaly assigned to DOS. However, 64K to 96K of addresses beginning at A000 are often unused on PC's (Is it on the LX?). On an old XT machine equipped with a monochrome display adapter (MDA), display memory begun at segment B000, leaving 64K open from A000-AFFF; on a machine equipped with a color graphics adapter (CGA which the LX has), display memory begun at segment B800, leaving 96K open from A000-B7FF. It is possible to force the system to assign memory for these addresses ( IF IT IS PHYSICLY INSTALLED) and to convince DOS that the memory so assigned is usable by the system, resulting in as much as 736K of DOS-usable memory. It works, I used todo it. Also, the DIP switches on most old XT's machines were limited to a maximum of 640K switch-settable; to go beyond this, it's necessary for the software override the switch settings. >> My understanding is that the LX design took all the slack display memory areas into account and they used/reserved it for the built-in apps and System Manager functions. On the first method, I wonder if the driver that mapped the extra 64k of memory onto the EEM board did so at the expense of losing some display memory addresses that weren't expected to be used. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 7 Oct 2000 01:30:05 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Lonac Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Lonac Subject: Re: Wireless Web In-Reply-To: <200010042031.QAA00195@spdmraaa.compuserve.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I have recently purchased the Motorola StarTAC 7868 w/ the built-in web browser and Data Connectivity cable, but have not been able to make it work with my DS 200LX.

Decided to install Lith.-Eng. dictionary my shabby 100LX. But it does not run from any floppy disk & was not fooled "Assign" so I had to use "subst". Occasionaly I found it as those, awailabl to download are of not correct DOS version, or my machine does not accept it Finally I got the one of proper version. So now that dictionary works, but the "autoexec.bat" - doesn't. And I can't nd the reason. None of installed programs find their folder. So I have to go om DOS go to proper folder and only then I can launch the program. :(( From appmngr. everything functions, but not from the DOS prompt. OK. In the autoexec I have path. E.g. a:\lala;a:\lulu;a:\kuku and then I've anged to e:\blabla;e:\blublu; etc. But does not work either. Than placed "subst E: A:\" higher in the autoexec. Now Buddy started to work t the path - Not.

First the bad news. If you using rechargables and your batteries are low then it will go into backup mode if you try to use the card. I doubt it will work with alkalines very well, but that remains to be seen. The good news is that it seems to work fine when plugged in or when my Nimh batteries are fully charged. The batteries take a pretty big dip when accessing the card, but the card goes back into sleep mode fairly quickly. I am only able to access the card with the use of my ATA driver, though, as the palmtop doesn't seem to recognize the card automatically. I have copied 20-30MBs of stuff to it so far without any problems with the card and chkdsk reports everything to be ok. Well that's all for now. I'll report back power consumption when I have time to measure it.

I just put your name and subject there rather than repeat the entire message. You described 2 methods of increasing the memory. The first was EMS and the palmtop can do that. Yes the banks are 16k but I believe that EMS was 4 16k blocks too. If not, 4 blocks can be remapped at once. The LX has memory management hardware similar in function to EMS hardware except that it works on the entire memory of the system (I don't know about the upgraded 200lxs). This was included so that more than one meg can be used. The ram and rom total more than 1 meg, obviously. So your method number one can be used and I believe there are drivers that can do this. In the later days of the XT the LIM standard came into place and I don't know if the drivers will emulate that standard. I haven't used them and it's been many years since I've concerned myself with ems. Your second method seems logical but I've never heard of that being done on an XT. Is this something you've actually seen? It is similar to the way it's done with a 386 and a driver like 386 Max.

Well, first you can only use WWWW/LX via the infrared port, and therefore are limited to the functionality of this product. However, this is no real limitation because it does everything one can possible want to do, including email, newsgroups, limited web browsing, and SMS sending and receiving. You can't do faxes except by using one of the free web fax services. If you use a serial cable (which most GSM phones with IR and built-in modem support) to connect the phone to COM1 of the palmtop, you can use every software which can talk to a normal modem at COM1, including fax software and probably all of the freeware and shareware email programs for the 200LX.

I have T9 on my Nokia 7110 and I use it a lot. But Quick/Lxc is better on the Hplx because I do not have to complete the word. Qucik/Lx is therefor better when you do not know the spelling, but only the first letters. It is also quicker than T9. But there are no other systems for cellular phones at the moment that are better than T9.

So, it must be something on the palmtop/cable side. Are you using the HP cable with the DB9-DB9 adapter (which is a combination null modem and gender changer) to connect to the phone's cable? Have you tried to just use the Datacomm application to type a AT command to the phone and get the OK response back? Then try to dial the phone number with a ATDT command. This all should work the same as a regular modem. There is no init string needed with WWW/LX. I use the same settings I use with my desktop modem. No init string, 19200 bps, external modem (COM1).

I just tried using the DataComm application and successfully dialed out using the cell phone. I am actually using a cable that I made, so it's connected directly to the StarTac cable (no null modem). But I'm still suspecting the cable because I when I connect it with a null modem, I can't make a connection to my laptop (LapLink or Transfile). I'm going to try making a new cable..

This is starting to get way out of hand (either that or I am particularly sensitive today ;-) ). The purpose of this LIST is to discuss the HPLX DOS machines and programs therof. This would include HISWORD and similar programs, as well as the the DOS version of "The Complete Works of Carl Sagan". Can we all lighten up a little? If you have a personal comment for someone, send it via personal mail and keep the HPLX-L a more pleasent place for the rest of us. Please try not to send inflamatory posts, or post that might offend to the LIST; also if you read a post that you find personally offensive, try to bear in mind that it was probably not meant to be. I allow a relatively high percentage of Off-Topic material, some say too much and have left, other's say it keeps the LIST interesting. Either way, I do have a low tolerence for flaming, please keep it off the LIST, Thank You.

It's hard to draw the line. If you feel that some of the comments are hurtful, they are still unlikely out of real spite or hatred. But I think it's okay to pursue the matter off list. I personally do like to know that the people I'm speaking to on this list are individuals with their own quirks, rather than everyone only showing their HPLX side. On the same note, here's a reply I sent to another inquiring mind on this list: "if you've been around the net for quite some time, you know that mailing lists grow and breathe in all sorts of ways, but generally doesn't get too much out of hand. when it does, a discussion will generally start about it, but it's rare: lists are pretty much self-regulating, and other than sending attachments, there's otherwise not much need for additional control. i would also venture to say that while people like to talk about the topic at hand, they are also looking for people to relate to and share themselves with, no matter what the topic is. the list then becomes a community where the topic at hand is what ties everyone together rather than restrain/restrict them. and that's what is so wonderful about mailing lists: they grow from their strict intended purpose, just like we grow as people. so, bottom line is, there's no need to draw the line: it's all good :-) but if you feel things are getting out of hand, the best way is to start new on-topic discussion and see the community follow your lead!" Now, I happen to know the perfect way to stop a dicussion dead in its tracks: don't reply to it. If that doesn't do it, nothing will.

Some of them were so-called christians, jews, muslims, atheists. I live in a part of Switzerland, where a lot of people are from turkey. So I decided to learn this crazy language. I can tell you, that I met a lot of interesting people because of that. I spoke with islamic fundamentalists, kurdish guerillas etc. I met a lot of very fanatic people too. BUT: The most fanatic people I met in this time and before, always had been atheists. I investigated the thoughts of the atheists and evolutionists too. And I came to the conclusion, that the evolution theory is one of the biggest fundamentalist religions existing. Regarding your subject line: IMO science is not against religion. Most religions are against science, but not all. The problem is, that the most shut their brain off. I think, that finding the truth is a science too. Carl Sagan said "The evolution theory is a religion under a scientific cover" (bad translation by me).

I got one of these phones last week. I'm generally satisfied with it, but have been unable to get my 200LX online with it. It took awhile to get the account set up correctly, so that I could get the minibrowser to work, but it seems to be working okay now. I have used the serial cables that come with the phone and the CPack, along with the black 9 pin to 9 pin adapter. I have not been able to get an "OKAY" from the phone when I send "AT" from Data Comm, but with one of my ISP's phone numbers in Data Comm I have gotten the ST to dial and seemingly to connect. I get the Tx and Rx indicator boxes on the phone's display, with occasional activity in the boxes, but Data Comm eventually times out without ever displaying a login prompt. Should I be able to get a Unix login prompt with this setup? I have my settings in Data Comm as 19200, 8N1, Com1, and RTS-CTS. I haven't been able to get LXTCP to dial the phone at all.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi; First, I know, I know, everybody yells at me to quit being so cheep and go out and buy Software Carousel! I still might, but I'm haven fun here! For those of you who have been following my thoughts on creating upper memory blocks, or extending DOS memory on the 200LX, I have some news! I have successfully created 127k of USEABLE UMB memory on the 200lx at memory loactions D001-EFFF by using two different drivers. First, I used the EMM200 expanded memory program with the command line "device=c:\emm200.exe -F8" . Besides the 64k ems window at D001, the -F8 switch creates another 8 pages of mapable ems which is tacked on to the initial 64k page frame. Then after trying many different UMB drivers, I found one at the Channel 1 file library called memkit2.zip that is designed to work with an XT. I used the included driver "hramdev.sys /e /f ", which can turn the 127k expanded memory at D001-EFFF into Upper Memory Blocks, and also handles calls to the UMB's. The "/e switch tells it to convert ems to umb's, and the "/f" switch tells it to include the page frame in the conversion, the only drawback is that the ems is now only useable as UMB's. So far I have loaded numerous TSR's high, and everthing seems to work great! Even MaxDos works loaded high! Now the down side, while all my programs seem to be happy, HDM works fine, PE and PIM and others work great with the configuration, there is a problem (sigh) with the built in system manager. The LX locks when the system manager (200) is run. Evidently system manager must be messing around and conflicting with the UMB's or the driver. Does anyone have an idea of what system manager might be fiddlin around with? Maybe I can devise a work-around. Of course, with HDM, PE and PIM, and a few other programs, who needs to use the built in apps in system manager? Here is the command line in config.sys, device=C:\emm20.exe -F8 DOS=UMB Device=C:\hramdev.sys /e /f Next load tsr's high with the devicehigh, or the loadhigh commands. With tsr's loaded high I have 617k mem available to use in DOS.

This is a fundamental difference between an XT and a 200LX and it is also the reason you will never be able to have more than 640k of usable DOS memory if you need to run System Manager. Programs that are located in upper memory blocks always expect the software to be there when the appropriate interrupt or event occurs that cause their execution. They are not guaranteed to be in that memory location with System Manager running.

BUT, the EMM200 ems driver normaly sets up EMS there anyway, according to the Quardeck Manifest program (D001-EFFF) and works fine normaly as EMS in conjunction with system manager, it's just the UMB driver that is not happy with system manager. Since the EMM200 is designed for the 200LX, and sets the EMS in D000-EFFF, acorrding to manifest, I assume that emm200 is designed to work with system manager. I would love to have a memory map of the LX, with detail of the LX's memory locations. As I said earlier, I guess I'm going to have to get the System Developers Kit!

It's a small program that will split conventional memory in up to eight (I think) pieces. It was originally hacked by someone (another Dane, as it were) to work on the 95LX and I then extended it a bit to work on the LX. It's probably been a year since I mentioned it on the list.

A stone building is not obsolete as we still use stone in construction and the pyramids are just stone buildings. An xt class computer is obsolete since you cannot even get the components to make one anymore, as they are no longer made. That goes along way to proving obsolesence to me. The big thing people keep missing is that just because the general public might consider something obsolete doesn't make it useless. It always seems like the members of this list have to defend to the last that the hp200lx is not really obsolete, even in the face of it no longer being built.

Well, I just pulled mine out of it hiding place while I hiked and camped in Utah. It was at 48% charge after being fully powered off for 13 days. It is a neat little machine altho, its wispy fonts got harder and harder to read under Win95. I used accis and Post/lx on it under Win95 for a number of trips out of town. Its single full size pcmcia slot was limiting when holding its harddisk if you wanted to use a pcmcia modem. I got a slot doubler and that made it possible but awkward with the "heavy" harddisk dangling upsidedown from the flexible doubler's circuit board. Its "compact" flash slot is an older standard and does not support the newer standards (modems, etc) or sizes. Its internal "flashcard" is unfortunately a bunch of chips and now a card that could be replaced with something larger. Its battery life is somewhat limited. Its speed is, similarly, limited. It cannot easily be viewed in outdoor lighting. The docking station overcomes some of the modem/port problems but adds substantially to its bulk (I wanted a way to tap into the port connector to get a serial line for modem use but that was supposedly not possible) Support for it gets more limited but there is a great website: http://www.basterfield.com/pc110/pc110idx.htm More? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2000 14:39:25 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , lfast@NATIVELAW.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Lawrence Fast Subject: Blackberry - a working 386 handheld MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii As we are flooded with ill conceived wireless solutions, occasionally something interesting pops up.

I am going to keep working on this while composing, but: 1. I found part of the problem: I have always used PCMCIA modems, so I have had the COM 1 turned OFF in LXPRO.... >Do, you can issue an ATDT1234567 and the phone will go into data >modem and dial, but you can't get an OK repsonse to an AT command? >It sounds like result codes are turned off in the modem.

And I have, in fact, been able to connect and get mail from my ISP in DATACOMM, however. But with the same settings (COM 1, ATZ, ATDT, 19200 bps) I get nowhere in acCIS or in WWW/LX. ("Busy or No Answer, Hanging Up") >If you can do a manual login with Datacomm, then I see no reason why >WWW/LX won't work.

I removed the dashes from the phone number in acCIS, and it worked flawlessly!! Of course, it's 19200, not 33600, but it is from nearly anywhere, and I only have to keep track of my "home" CIS number, since I have SingleRate USA.... So I took the dashes out of the phone number in WWW, and re-dialed. I was reminded by seeing the dashes still THERE when dialing that I would need to quit and re-start WWW. And after that WWW connected to my ISP. Now I just have to resolve IP address problems ("Aborting!

This may seem like putting the cart before the horse but I sometimes use Rexx as a BAT file utility. It would only be a couple of lines of Rexx to do this but the disadvantage is Personal Rexx is 130+k and the delay to load it and run the small program is noticable in a 1X speed LX. If you want to persue this solution let me know and I'll post a sample Rexx solution and also show you where you can download the demo version of Personal Rexx to run it. Cheers...

Most of the ideas I saw here were on the right track, with one flaw. When using the "<" & ">" characters in a batch file to redirect, it will not grab all the charcters needed. So here is a trick that I use using FIND.EXE and the DATE command to temporaly hold the complete path and file location from FILE.LST, then redirect it to a varable. You also need FIND.EXE for MSDOS 5.0 for this to work. I will email it to anyone who requests it, as it is not included with the 5.0 dos in the LX. In this bat file example, I use PICK to choose a file, then EDIT.COM to open the file. You could substitute any program for EDIT.COM, like your spell checker to pass the variable to; @ECHO OFF PICK.EXE ECHO. >> C:\FILE.LST DATE < C:\FILE.LST | FIND "):" > FILELST.BAT ECHO SET RESULT=%%4> ENTER.BAT FOR %%C IN (CALL DEL) DO %%C FILELST.BAT DEL ENTER.BAT EDIT.COM %RESULT% Ron Stalma LAMP Christian Newsletter http://lampresource.tripod.com USS Springer, SS-414 Submarine http://finaltrim.tripod.com Ron's Transistor Radios http://trradio.tripod.com ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2000 19:42:00 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jim Saklad Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jim Saklad Subject: Re: WWW/LX Upgrade Offer Ending Comments: To: sponsor@FTEL.NET In-Reply-To: <200010050832.EAA21022@spdmraaa.compuserve.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Avi - >The upgrade offer on WWW/LX Version 3 is about to end at midnight >October 20, 2000.

(I believe that it was the last nationwide free ISP left that didn't force the users to view a floating banner ad or require the user to fill out surveys.) I keep getting an error message that the site is too busy, but when that message is displayed, the address in my browser changes to: http://mmproxy.myway.com/http://freeatlast.myway.com/features/home/default.asp Has anyone heard anything about "One Nation On Line" being sucked into another ISP called "Free At Last"? That makes me think that there is now a strong connections between the two. If that is indeed what is happening, then it appears that the "no strings attached", free ISP days are over. :-( I hope that someone here can cast a more positive light on this.

I've used several custom cables in a variety of configurations - all with the same result: works with DataComm, but not with WWW/LX. I know my cross-over cable is good, since I use it to synch my LX with my laptop using LapLink & Transfile. (I'd use a null modem adapter & gender changer to connect to the cell phone) And the other straight through cables are also good, since I can synch with those when I use the null modem adapter & gender changer with my laptop.

I've also added a new page to just do the conversion from address to Lat/Lon, without retrieving a map. This could be useful for calibrating maps for LXGPS. A quick howto: Retrieve a map of the area you are interested in. Next, find an intersection near the upper left corner. Enter the intersection on the conversion page, e.g. "Broadway and Main" and submit the form. Record the coordinates. Repeat for an intersection in the lower right corner. Use these coordinates to calibrate the map for LXGPS. You will need to convert to the format used by LXGPS.

Philippe, The undocumented "TRUENAME" command can be used for that. "TRUENAME ." will return the current directory, and it can be echoed to a file. It can then be used as described in the PICK.EXE discussions. As Russel Brooks wrote, the period refers to the current directory. As Eric wrote "CD" does something similar. Try TRUENAME and CD on SUBSTed and ASSIGNed drives to see the differences.

I just do little stuff to entertain myself. Barry, Excellent. I like to solve (figure out) things by programming. To figure out the Heapsort algorithim, I wrote a 'find file duplicates' program. To "understand" the LZW compression scheme, I wrote a program to decode GIF files. During the recent LXMapBlast discussions, the interlaced GIF was brought up as a topic, so I got out my GIF decoder shell and started to update it to do more than output error messages. Now I can display an interlaced GIF on the 200LX. For whatever reason, it's more fun to get a program up and running on the 200LX then to do it for the desktop. Now the only problem is LXPIC. I realize that LXPIC is smaller (how he do that?). But it's also significantly faster as well. Now I "need" to check my code for obvious slow downs. Stefan Peichel wrote that the interlaced GIF format was "terrible". It certainly makes you wonder what people were thinking when thay defined it. It provides some entertainment on the 200LX to watch the screen being refreshed in such an odd manner. Since it takes at least the same amount of time to generate an image, and recog- nizing the image is problematic until it's finished, there really isn't much use in it. > But I don't want to sit at the desk and do it.

I may try doing the programming on the 200LX sometime. But things assemble so much faster on a Pentium, that's where I'll do most of my programming for now. Hmm, restraurants..., doctor's offices?

They are available. About 2 years ago I was able to find an 8088 and an 8087 without any difficulty. I found them in a used electronics store in Houston. Both were used. It was the first place I looked and they had a bin of each. The bin was marked $10 but he wouldn't take any money for them. Actually the only thing difficult about this was convincing someone that there really was such a thing as an 8087. The woman that waited on me had to ask about 5 people before she found someone who had even heard of one before. I don't think she really believed me until then. :) Barry ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2000 17:31:03 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Guenther Helmuth E."

I wonder if there is some ground loop forming between the LX's ac adapter and the modem and the phone line. And this ground loop is putting some hum or other noise on the phone line. You should try using a different AC adapter with the palmtop in case yours is malfunctioning. Try plugging the modem and palmtop's ac adapter into outlets on different circuits. See if this helps. Also, with another extension on the same phone line, listen in on the phone line while the modem is online and see if you can hear any kinds of noises on the phone line.

If these all work, then I suspect your phone's cable it bad. If none of this other stuff works, then it seems like your COM port (or HP serial cable) could be bad. DataComm should automatically turn COM1 power on, but if you have Buddy (or some other program) locking it off, then there will be a problem. Also, make sure you have hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control enabled.

DataComm may be less strict about some of the hardware control lines (such as Carrier Detect) than WWW/LX is. So, if your custom cable has this wrong, then this might explain your trouble. How are you running WWW/LX? If from within SysMgr, then are you aware that SysMgr can interfere with serial communications? Try running WWW/LX from a pure DOS prompt or using NOFIDDLE.

Data Comm fired up the modem and made a connection to my ISP on the first try with default settings. I've also tried the Com port on my desktop--I know the port works as I use it for CPack. Windows will install, but not get a response from the modem. I can also cause the StarTAC to dial from my desktop with "ATDT>COM2" in a dos window. > DataComm should automatically turn COM1 power on, but if you > have Buddy (or some other program) locking it off, then there > will be a problem.

I use Stefan Peichl's little lighton utility to toggle the port power on and off, but have removed it from autoexec.bat with no difference. I'm convinced the cable (or the phone) is faulty, and will see if I can try a different cable at the phone mart. Thanks for the help, Stan! I'll let you know what I find out. Ted -- Theodore W.

The Zip drive does not like sharing a parallel port with other devices, and certainly not with a Logitech Scanner. Even when Logitech provided a patch to solve the conflict, my Zip drive would not work. The Zip drive help line got me to remove the Scanner. The Zip worked. When I copied what I wanted with the Zip, I reinstalled the Scanner 'cos I need it more often than the Zip.

The pins on the 100/200LX are numbered from top left to bottom right: (Coin Cell and IR) 1 2 3 4 5 (12VDC) 6 7 8 9 10 So (of course) the pins on the F1015A are the mirror image of this (looking into end of cable): bump 5 4 3 2 1 10 9 8 7 6 2. The pin assignment of the 100/200LX's 10-pin connector are the same as the pin numbers on a standard PC 9-pin serial port. 3. Under Source, DTE stands for Data Terminal Equipment - devices that act like terminals and connect to modems. DCE stands for Data Communication Equipment - modem-like devices. The serial ports on IBM PC-compatibles (like the palmtop) are wired as DTEs. In other words a one-to-one cable from a 100/200LX (or any PC) to a modem should work. This is complicated by the fact that most modems do not have a 9-pin connector (although many portable modems do). So you need a 9-pin to 25-pin converter. 4. The column "DB25 Standard" gives the corresponding pin on a standard 25-pin RS-232 connector. 5. "9M", "9F", "25M" and "25F" refer to 9 and 25 pin, male and female connectors. 6. These are the meanings of the RS-232 abbreviations: DCD - Data Carrier Detect from modem RD - Receive Data from modem TD - Transmit Data to modem DTR - Data Terminal Ready to modem SG - Signal Ground DSR - Data Set Ready from modem RTS - Request To Send to modem CTS - Clear To Send from modem RI - Ring Indicator from modem 7. The F1015A is _not_ a straight-thru cable. It is a null-modem cable which exactly matches the blue LapLink cable. 8. The '39 adapter undoes the scrambling of the F1015A cable. The result is the equivalent of a standard PC 9-pin male serial port. 9. The '40 and '41 adapters are the same except for the sex of the 25-pin connector. Although the '41 looks like a conventional PC 9-to-25-pin serial port adapter it is not! 10. The '42 adapter will give you a standard PC 25-pin male connector. As mentioned above it can connect to a modem with a one-to-one cable or directly. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D Stan ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2000 17:20:07 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , stanleyd@CARROLL.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stanley Dobrowski Subject: Re: filer error message Comments: To: Nathalie Bugeaud MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable If there are more than 250 files in a directory, then Filer can only display the first 250 on it's screen.

In other words that memory only stays mapped when the program or TSR is using it. That lets System Manager work since the operating system on the palmtop is not a multitasking one. It does sound like you need to get a hold of the Developer's Kit as all the info is in there that you are curious about.

I did a program with bezier curves to try to understand how that works. I finally understood the code and how to get what I want from it but I never did really understand the math. I haven't had much math. I ran into something similar trying to do a boid program on the palmtop modelled after Craig Reynold's boids. That was a lot of fun and I learned a lot but I finally got too far ahead of myself mathematically. But each time I do something like this, even though they don't always succeed, I learn a lot and get a little more understanding of math. For example I taught myself to use matrices to do 2d rotations and I understand pretty well how to use them now (with a lot of reference material handy) even though I have no idea what matrices really are. I've read a number of explanations but I still don't know what they are. But I can use them. I did some of the same with vectors, although I've begun to understand them a little.

I don't do any programming of any type on my desktop anymore. It's either the 200lx or my laptop or my 48gx (or 49g now). Now and then on my Tandy Model 100, and sometimes my Palm. The Palm would be the ideal toy if it only had keys and didn't have that damn gui. Too bad. The 200lx and the 48gx/49g are still the best.

Then I globally replace all remaining line feeds with single spaces. Lastly, I replace all the backslashes with line feeds.

Ken, Sorry it didn't work for your area, but there are a couple things I'd like to clear up. First, LX-MapBlast is not a program you can get. It is several pages on my server, running some perl scripts I wrote, which serve as a simple free interface to the real MapBlast site, www.mapblast.com. The purpose is to provide maps to users of WWW/LX and HV, which can't access directly sites like MapBlast, MapQuest, etc. (From the logfiles I can see the majority of browsers are not HV, but I'm sure the maps will be used on LX's :-) Second, you are right that the map information is not always accurate. Vicinity Corp (MapBlast) doesn't warrantee the accuracy of any of their information. Obviously I have no control over the accuracy of any maps obtained from MapBlast. Third, in countries with good coverage, the majority of people have found the maps to be quite accurate. In my area I find more errors on print maps than I do with the MapBlast maps. I would urge anyone to assess the accuracy of maps they retrieve before relying on them, however, I take offense at the comment "...don't bother". It would be more helpful to the LX community to say "The maps for Sometown, USA are not accurate."

It will not run any faster. Stan, It can be useful to defrag a ram disk in order to create a large contiguous free space for certain tools that need them; example Software Carousel wants such a space for its swap file. If you ever have to get down to recovering a file sector by sector you'll also thank yourself for keeping things defragged.

Were they isolated things - say a Post Office was shown on the wrong street?, or were a whole bunch of things off by a half-mile? Or did you try the maps for GPS and work out the errors in Lat/Long? That would mean some streets were shorter/longer than they should be or lay in the wrong direction? I checked out some places in England I am familiar with and was amazed how accurate the LX-Mapblast maps seemed to be. All the streets were = there.

I bought Borland C++ 2.0 from a second hand software shop on the internet and it seems to work well enough. I actually used my LX to get the hang of (basic) C++ programming. One way of filling the quiet moments at work! I also find it an interesting way of exploring maths: currently I have been playing around with fractals. I have made the initial Mandelbrot program on my 200lx and have since upgraded it to run under Windoze with Borland Builder.

Maybe this time, I'll pay attention :-) Well, there really is very little to write. As Stan said initially, it is absurdly simple. You need the StarTAC 7868 with mini-browser enabled, and the cables from each connectivity kit. The cables are connected to each device and then to each other with the HP 9-pin gender changer. Once the physical connection is made, the last step is to configure your communications software with baud=19200, Com1, parity=none, data bits=8, stop bits=1, and hardware flow control (i.e., RTS-CTS). Then simply initiate and conduct the session as you would with any modem. Of course, I could write several pages describing the efforts it took to track down the hardware problem, but I doubt the list is interested in that! Ted -- Theodore W.

But only a little. If you can use them, either you know what they are, or you don't need to know. By the way, a good explanation of using matricies and vectors is in the "PostScript Language Reference Manual" and the "PostScript Tutorial and Cookbook". Some discussion of bezier curves is in there as well as the 'curveto' operator is based on a Bezier cubic section. PostScript has a very real advantage as is a real visual (graphic) language. > I don't do any programming of any type on my desktop anymore. > The 200lx and the 48gx/49g are still the best.

I don't know if the Filer limit of 250 files has to do with how many file names it can get from the directory and work with (such as sort and Filter) or if it can always get all file names from the directory but only display 250 on the screen list.

I'm not sure how you quantify "1000 times better". Since MapQuest and MapBlast get much of their data from the same sources, I wouldn't agree that MapQuest is generally more accurate than MapBlast anyway. MapQuest does have much better coverage of smaller or what MapBlast apparently feels are less important countries. In such cases you could argue that the coverage is 1000 times better, but I don't know about accuracy. > The area I live in is a suburb of > Boston...if a map program can't get that right then how can I rely on it for > an isolated section of a state that I am not familiar with. From your ISP, I am assuming this is the town of Braintree, MA. I did a comparison for myself of MapQuest and MapBlast. I thought the police station at 282 Union St. would be a good test as an important place to go. The maps agree about the location within perhaps 50 feet. MapQuest shows the location in the middle of Union St., MapBlast off the road to the north. I don't know which is the actual location, but I think it's close enough to call it a tie. Then I checked out the Braintree Historical Society at 31 Tenney Road. MapQuest shows the location as the intersection of Tenney and Washington Park. MapBlast shows it about 250 feet north on Tenney, on the west side of the road. Again, not being there, I don't know which is more accurate. Checking out my own address, MapBlast shows the location right on spot. MapQuest shows it on the wrong side of the street, perhaps 75 feet away. Some of the streets in the vicinity also show some bends that aren't there, and aren't shown on the MapBlast map. MapBlast wins this one by a small margin. Both maps would be adequate for someone to find my house. > If I get into > an accident I can't turn around and blame the faulty map that I was > following. You should probably be looking at the streets when driving, and not at the palmtop :-) Seriously though, if you would like to create an HV compatible front-end for MapQuest, I'm sure the list members living in the countries with poor MapBlast coverage would be very appreciative.

I'm pretty sure I've used a filter in the CPack implementation of Filer on my desktop to get around the 250 file limit. Don't know if this is also true for the 200LX, but would expect it to be.

They look like flash cards since the battery is not visible. However, by taking one a part a (rechargeable) battery that looks like the HP 200LX backup battery can be found. Unfortunately, the cards were NOT designed to replace the battery. After figuring out a system, it would probably take 15-30 minutes to take card apart, replace the battery, and glue things back in place. The card battery gets recharged when it is placed in a 200LX (or other PC card slot). The problem is they came with no specifications. Therefore, we know nothing about them. Here are some obvious questions. 1. How long will the data on the card last between charges outside the palmtop? 2. How long outside the palmtop before the rechargeable battery completely dies? 3. How much drain on the 200LX batteries? 4. How long does the card need to be in the palmtop before it is recharged? 5. Is there an optimal method of keeping them charged? These cards appear quite warn. Apparently, they proved very reliable for the Dutch Railway as they put a new train schedule on them every week. The cards have not been in palmtops for as long as several months, and the few I tested still had files on them when they were put in my palmtop. If there are any on this list that would like to test them and think can supply us with answers, please email me. Give your address and tell me how many cards (1 or more) you need to properly do the testing. Also, if there is anyone interested in purchasing these cards in volume, assuming they meet your specifications, please email me. As always, THANKS. Hal at Thaddeus P.S. We have been able to keep up with upgrades and repairs when sent in. However, we are still behind processing HP 200LX orders. Please be patient. We don't anticipate being caught up until the end of November when we can ship within a few days after receiving the order. Now there may be a 2-4 week delay. It takes quite a bit of time to properly test and clean each palmtop, and we've had a few volume orders that cause the delay. Also, we are short-staffed until Nov 1.

I have the following also in my WWW.CFG: ÝGlobal¨ DialAT=3DATdt Which sets the dial prefix on a global basis so that I don't need it in each Dial=3D line. The other advantage of this is that that now the dial command is in a variable and can be changed with a setting in the Shift-F5 feature of Post/LX. Therefore, most people need: Dial=3DAT DT 123-4567 I am sorry if this caused any confusion.

Let me assume you're talking about a web site hosted here on the HiWAAY system. You can controll the access with the .htaccess file. Then if you leave out any index.html file, you should be able to get the listing you're after by just pointing to the directory with your browser and providing the username/password. Even if the directory does contain an index.html file, you can still get the listing you want by using the ftp:// URL prefix. Will this solve your problem, at least temporarily? Write me off-list if you want more assistance. -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

Ok, now that's something we can compare. Using online white pages, I found an address for Kenneth London in Braintree. I created maps for this address using both MapQuest and MapBlast and overlaid them. You can view the composite here http://www.technoir.nu/hplx/comparison.gif The colored map in the background is the MapQuest map, the dark black lines in the foreground are the MapBlast map. The rail lines are a little hard to tell apart depending on your monitor, but the MapBlast lines are darker. Things don't line up perfectly as I just quickly slapped them together, but it's close enough to compare. The black circle is a half-mile radius around your approximate location. Allowing for my sloppiness in overlaying, I would say the two maps agree quite well. In fact the only real difference I see is that the MapBlast map shows a small spur near the top of the circle that MapQuest doesn't. NOTE: the lack of track on the MapBlast map at the upper right corner is due to the map being cut off at that point. So, if there's a rail line that MapBlast doesn't show, I would have to say that MapQuest doesn't show it either, and therefore isn't any more accurate. However, if you think the MapBlast maps are not accurate for your area, please feel free to use MapQuest, or any of the many other mapping programs you found that are more accurate. And let me know if you find one that you can access with the LX.

Not just against Christians or fundamentalists. It might be said that the religious range from those hypocrites who only give lip service to some group but aren't really at all bothered by it's ideas, to those who are sincere in their devotion and dedication to living their lives and guiding their acts and thoughts by some system of beliefs or according to the precepts of some greater power. I believe we might call this the hypocrasy/sincerity continuum. The first group would be far on the hypocracy side of this continuum and the second would be way over there on the sincere side. Given that, and having an idea about your feelings about religion, might we theorize that your respect for people is directly proportional to their hypocracy and/or inversly proportional to their sincerity?

One way > of filling the quiet moments at work! I use both C 2.0 and Tasm for the most part. I'm not an oop programmer and using BC++ 2 (which I have) has always seemed like overkill. I have a single speed 200lx and BC++ 2 is quite a lot slower than TC 2. Also much larger. I've been experimenting with TC++ 1.0 a little. It's a bit faster than BC++ 2 and I can use // comments and a few other C++ things, which I like. But it's still slower than TC 2 and doesn't work quite as smoothly with all the stuff I've built up over the years with TC 2. One of the things I've always enjoyed about programming on the LX is that I didn't have to be professional and worry about such things as portability, readibility by the next programmer, or just being generally well behaved. I can cheat all I want and let my rebellious streak run rampant. That makes it a little harder to switch compilers. But, in fact, I had all those good habits drummed into me enough over the years that I haven't misbehaved as much as I wanted to. I didn't always know how. :) Barry ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2000 22:28:12 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Barry Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Barry Subject: Programming for fun MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >> I did a program with bezier curves to >> try to understand how that works.

Not really. I have no idea why the math does what it does. Why the calculations produce the result they do. I just know how to get what I want from it. Kind of like people who drive a car without knowing how it works. I took some sample code and modified it to work in the context I wanted it to work in, and to let me control it the way I wanted to control it. I learned by trial and error how to change values to get what I want from it, although there are probably a lot of possibilities that I don't know to look for.

I have replaced the back-up battery only on one, and only when it had laid dormant in a drawer for a couple of years. The batter monitors on the other three always read that the battery is fine, so I have never replaced them. I do keep a couple of spares nearby just in case. I have never had to use them though. All of them I have had for years and years. What is the deal? Same with SRAM's - three cards; a 1 meg and two 2 meg cards. Never opened. Battery monitor reads fine. One of them is ten years old or more. I've always thought that this was uncanny. I know that the buttons should be replaced every twelve months, but I always back up to a computer or floppy disk, so I thought I would see exactly how long the batteries would last.

I have a couple of spare 200lx's and sometimes I forget to replace the batteries and they'll be dead. But when I do put new AA's in them, they usually give me backup battery low messages. I've found that if I ignore that and just let the thing sit for a day or two the lithium backup battery will be fully charged. I've never noticed a reliablitity problem with them after this. I don't usually lose data on C: when this happens. This doesn't work every time but it works most of the time. I'm not sure if it works best if I don't let it get too dead, or if I do. Or if that's even a factor.

Both the keyboard and the Palm computer fit in a leather belt case. I had bought an external keyboard for the HP200 but it only seemed to work about 10 percent of time--very flaky and undependable. The external keyboard for the Palm always works. One question, does anyone know of a dependable external keyboard (or driver software) for the HP200?

Not really. I have no idea why the math does what it does. Why the calculations produce the result they do. I just know how to get what I want from it. Kind of like people who drive a car without knowing how it works. I took some sample code and modified it to work in the context I wanted it to work in, and to let me control it the way I wanted to control it. I learned by trial and error how to change values to get what I want from it, although there are probably a lot of possibilities that I don't know to look for. >> I agree. Some math algorithms are quite dense and while a programmer who assumes maintenance duties for this kind of code can tweak it for varied effects, he/she's usually a long ways from being able to write comparable new code from scratch, which is the domain of someone who understands the underlying concepts. "Stealing" code is the hallmark of any resourceful programmer, but some borrow code to save time while others borrow because they can't do it from scratch. Either way, it's fun as long as it works. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2000 10:26:25 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Steve Novosad Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Steve Novosad Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Stanley Dobrowski wrote: > > However, you can use the filter option (F4) to choose which 250 > > files are shown on its screen.

Well I tried in in the CPack filer. And in a pictures subdirectory I got the 256 files limit (mostly .JPG). I then filtered to only .GIF files and got all 158 GIF's. Tried the 200LX filer and don't have 250 files in any sub- directory, and can't connect to the desktop. So, assuming the 200LX filer is similar to the CPack filer, with the proper filter you can access any file in the subdirectory.

I then noticed that about 1.5-2.0 mm of the card protruded from the LX, meaning it wasn't seated. I turned the LX off, reseated the card, and rebooted.

I could get an f:\> prompt, but any attempt to access the drive (by entering dir, for example) yielded a divide overflow error message. I ran install.exe from drive a:, then rebooted, but the result was the same. I then inserted the card in my spare LX, ran install.exe, rebooted and got the same behavior. I've also tried hard resets on both machines. I have not tried to reformat the card, but I'm beginning to think that's what I have to do. Any suggestions, folks?

The button battery in the palmtop and the SRAM card is either Lithium or Alkaline. In either case, it would hold a lot more power than any rechargeable battery - just like with AA batteries. I probably would not trust the rechargeable battery in the SRAM card for more than 3-4 months.

If by coincidence, the 158 GIF files were all within the first 250 files in the directory, then this would always work. It would be interesting to try to filter to a file that you knew was > 250th in the directory list. You could find such a file by doing a DIR without any sorting specified and then count down.

The batter monitors on the The manual suggests replacing the backup battery every year even if there is no "low battery" message. (Pg B-1).

Along the same lines, I'll report that I've gotten the LXTCP suite to work with my Motorola ST7868W, but I had to configure the connection as 19200. I couldn't get it to go with 38400.

Either way, it's fun as long as it works. I think of that in somewhat the same light as using a library function. Printf() for example. We build on the work others have done in every field. The difference in the case of stealing code is that we usually have to add something of our own to it. It's not usually a black box. Printf() isn't, either. I have the source for a few of my compiler's libraries and I've looked over printf() and some other functions. But I don't remember the inner details and it'll be a little different on the next compiler so it's at least a dark grey box. I did a considerable re-working of the bezier code. There's not a lot left of the original. There is some so I can't really say it's my code. But it's not a black box, either. Maybe it's valid to say that I understand the bezier algorithm when stated in c but not when stated mathematically. I wouldn't let anyone but me get away with that one. :) Barry ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2000 09:01:10 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Barry Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Barry Subject: Programming for fun MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > I use Microsoft Quick C 2.5 on the palmtop for programming.

I've done something like that when I used to use Coherent with virtual consoles. It's a nice way to work. I do something like the same thing with qedit (tse jr.) I edit, hit Alt S (custom key, I think) to save, F10 to get a shell and then type mk to call make with my particular command line. Then I run the program. "Exit" brings me back to my place in qedit. Since I have Doskey in memory I usually only have to do that once and for the rest of the session, or at least till the first crash, it's just a couple of hits on the up arrow key. I used to use qedit macros to compile and test, making them one key each, but that was on my desktop and I never got around to setting that up on my palmtop. By the way, I use an 18 line window in qedit to make it fit the readable screen. This is done automatically by a startup macro. It works very well. I also have tse but I've been using qedit so long I can't find a real reason to learn tse.

I've had a problem with battery operated devices over the years when I've let them go till the battery is very, very old. So far this has never been a problem with the 200lx but it did ruin my Tandy Zoomer. I've ruined several watches and several calculators. I'll go 2 or 3 years on a watch battery and finally decide it should have been replaced long ago and when I put in new batteries, the watch doesn't work. This has eventually happened to every battery operated watch I've owned. Fortunately I use Timex so it doesn't cost that much to replace them. This might not be a problem with 200lx's and their cards and backup batteries. I've never let one go that long. I wouldn't take the chance.

Just put a little bit of transparent silicone into the spcae between latch and screen case. Do not fill the whole space with silicone, just about 1cm of the whole width. Works perfectly for me! In order to place the silicone as good as possible where it has to be, it is better to take apart the palmtop screen for this fix. But it's also possible to leave the screen together. Just be sure you don't fill in too much silocone (approximately the size of one of the palmtop's keys - not the space key, of course ;-) ).

I used the small switcher PS -> no connection 2nd, the big ham radio PS 30 A -> no connection 3rd, a 12V lead battery -> connection at full speed a homemade 12V linear PS -> connection at full speed So the power supply is guilty. Good to know that it is not the HP:-) But there has aroused another problem: Usually I used post/lx to fetch my mail and then let the modem hang up after the connection. This time I unchecked this hangup box in setup and wanted to repeat the connection. It was impossible. No connection, although the modem did not hang up.

I'm trying to convert the note database on my HP200LX to csv (comma separated value) format, using the ancient, hoary and venerable HP connectivity pack. I've done this years ago, but the connectivity pack isn't cooperating this time. It's a pretty old DOS program now running on Win98, but it should still work. Anyway, the problem is when I use the translate tool it complains it can't open the input DB. The file is there and it is a valid notes database, since I can view it through the notetaker app in the connectivity pack. The connectivity pack translator knows the file is there at some level, since you pick the file via the usual HPLX browse interface. I've made sure the path to the file is short and there are no spaces in the directory and files names (since DOS sometimes has problems with that). Anyone else encountered this problem or know what the solution might be?

I recall that when there were few Windows Bible programs, the "in" program seemed to be PC Study Bible for DOS, with QuickVerse coming in at a close second with the people I knew, and based on comments on the net. Now with the gargantuan Windows program out nowadays, it's hard to tell. But since I am not an expert on theology or Biblical languages, I have felt no need for anything else outside the Online Bible (except I did long for output in the style of a paper concordance, such as I hear QuickVerse can do). Maybe someone can talk the company that makes QuickVerse into releasing the DOS versions for free. :-) (I say versions, because I understand the last DOS version is significantly slower than the previous one.)

The first version of the Online Bible came out in 1988. Is PC study Bible older than that? Either way, I reread the OLB documentation, and it is full of permissions to use stuff, so I don't think they originated much material. But I understand that most Bible programs are compatible with the OLB database, through the generosity of the author, Larry Pierce. > BibleSoft pays a > license fee for every copy of every text they use.

I am not sure about the Jay green stuff. He took the Thayer material (public domain), and indexed it with the Strongs numbers (public domain). Is the resulting material copyrighted? I guess it might be, but Online Bible has permission to distribute for free. I guess since PC Study Bible costs an arm and a leg Jay Green would be less generous with his materials (his MKJV is available for free for the Palm, with another freeware Bible program). > Colin > > > Domingo Diaz-V > > Subject: Re: Bible programs > > > Do you mean the text (which is public domain AFAIK, or the Online Bible > indexed databases? > > I am surprised about that, considering that the PC Study Bible, when it came > out, could > set you back about $400, with all the tools and versions included. > > Domingo > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Robert K.

It has the same flex light (but is bigger and more cumbersome) AND, when you pull the flex light out, you can use the open 'slot' (for the light) to wrangle it onto the palmtop's screen. It's a little cumbersome, and if you start some agitated thumb-typing, you will likely knock it off (that's why I suggested you stop in and try one, if they still carry it at Sharper Image).

What makes me a fanatic, the Christian part, the offended part, or the Bible posts part? Just curious. Taking about offense, some months ago some fellow from Germany posted a nasty, racist remark concerning my ability to write in english so well considering who I was. This was in connection with threads about Web based translation services and about whether people should post to the list in languages other than english. I choose not to respond because the list at the time was reaching a fluff saturation point, and I did not want to contribute to the problem. Beside, he sounded like an inmature college kid. My question is, does my being offended by this also makes me a fanatic? I am asking because, unlike Natalie, I don't recall posting anything remotely promoting my personal beliefs, nor do I recall flaming anyone about theirs, or anything posted here. I believe it is proper to mention religion in this list the way any other subject is mentioned, either in direct connection with the palmtop, or as a brief aside to that discussion (as every other subject is treated). > As for interesting, gregarious, tolerant, polite and pleasant, I > think we still fit that for the most part.

Pentium > laptop or my 400a desktop machine. But I have never tried the 200lx It may have been my comment you quoted. I have used the Zip drive in the past on my palmtop for backup purposes. I use the parallel port PCMCIA adaptor sold by Thaddeus. There are some DOS drivers provided by IOMEGA, and I believe there were some instructions provided with the parallel port adaptor. In any event, I also got some assistance from other list members who have a similar setup. But it wasn't too hard. I would ask what specific problem you are having, but you only refer to having problems with your laptop computer, not the palmtop. BTW, I have also used this same ZIP drive on my laptop computer (300MHz Pentium II) without any problems. Well, one problem. I carried my zip drive with me on a business trip. I pulled it out in order to make a backup for my client. The laptop was fairly new, and I had not yet installed the ZIP drivers that come on the CD. I had the CD with me for this reason, and pulled it out to install. After the installation process, which went smoothly, my client was idly looking at the CD. In amazement, he pointed out this *huge* crack in it! It looked like someone had shot it with a BB gun - there was a big star-like crack that took up easily 1/4 of the disk! Had I seen this crack at first, I would have never even put it in my drive, much less expected it to work! (The crack was not apparent from the top of the disk, only from the shiny, bottom side). -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

Hi I use 3.0 and I have not noticed any big differncies between 2.0 -> 3.0 in daily use(mail). But I use newsgroups alot and I find the Robot/Lx way of downloading messages faster/more stable than in v2.0. Also the use of PostH with v3.0 is great. It can add signature and also insert a topline and wrap it if it is longer than 80 chars. It is a very usable addon. As I see it v3.0 is more "future proof". It can be alterned faster to meet changes in the "world" of isp's/newsservers/mailservers.

We non-believers don't have the assurances you have as believers. As to being a nut case, I've known a few serious Mormans and I didn't find them any nuttier than any other serious religious people. Or any other serious non-religious people, for that matter. Most are doing what I'm doing. Trying to understand. The way you describe your feelings for those who look down on you doesn't really come across as tolerance. It seems more like giving what you're getting. Is pity tolerance? Is a wry smile a tolerant smile or is it a show of scorn? I suspect there's not much tolerance on either side of this issue. Passion and tolerance are almost opposites. Tolerance will be found among those who don't care.

Been a registered "Buddy" user forever and, in the last year or so, started using the "Password" feature that locks the LX, when powered off for a certain time. I looked in the documentation, but can't seem to find a way to change the password from the one I set up. The documentation says Buddy won't give the "change password" option to an unregistered user, but I can see my serial number displayed on the setup screen; so I imagine Buddy "thinks" I'm registered. I have had some odd things happen, recently, to my palmtop. Some of my "options" reset to the out of the box default....

The only software that came with the 95lx was the built-in software. It's possible that yours doesn't boot into sysmgr and you don't see the built-in software. If it boots right into Dos, at the C:\> prompt, type $SYSMGR and the built in apps will load. When the 95lx shipped that line was in the autoexec.bat file. There was a connectivity kit that you could buy for, I think, $100. It included a desktop version of the built in apps and communications software. I have that but I have no idea where the disk is and I never actually used the software. It only worked on a dos computer, too. That was before windows became popular. But it did include a couple of programs for making a network-like connection with a Dos pc. It works pretty well if you're using a dos pc. It won't work under windows. If you're using windows, Hyperterminal is a good choice. If you are using dos and you want those communication programs, send me a private email.

In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Been tinkering with loading pre-existing databases into my LX. I've never used GDBLOAD before, but had used GDBDUMP often. I've exported a small (three record) database into a .CSV file in two ways but have gotten the same error message, when trying to run GDBLOAD: " runtime error R6001 - null pointer assignment " Is this because I have an invalid or improperly formatted field (or character on a "don't use" list) or could I have corrupted the executable utility (the gdbload.exe) during download? The two ways I created my Comma Separated file were: 1) Exported directly from Excel. 2) Imported the Excel record into Access and then exported to a .CSV (seemed to have more control over it this way). In both cases the first line contains the "field name". I went through the Access "Advanced Export" features and made the dates meet the formatting required by the gdbload documentation (or so I think ) AND went back and tried again deleting the TIME field Access added to the mix, when I imported from Excel Ý"20001010" became "20001010 00000" ... well actually, "10-OCT-00" became "10-October-2000 0:00:00" but I took out the delimiters, within the field and made the date format YYYYMMDD, as I think that's the way GDBLOAD "likes" it¨. What's the best way to get Microsoft database data into a 200LX database? Maybe there's a way besides GDBLOAD, that the LX-Gurus of the list use. TIA for any help.

Anyone who is truly, humbly, and seriously seeking will ask sincere questions and will know where to find the answers. Anyway, I have found that these are frequently not attempts to understand, but opportunities to criticize. Maybe that's cynical and intolerant of me, but that's simply my experience. As for having tolerance for other points of view and "secular humanist" types: I believe tolerance is allowing others the freedom to believe, and act upon those beliefs, as they feel they should, as long as they aren't seriously harming anyone else. Just as I expect others to treat me. I guess my 'wry smile' would be one that sort of says, "I care about you, but your not getting it, so lets just agree to disagree, and be friends anyway." There is much to be learned from others and their points of view. Everyone has some amount of truth and something unique and different. I believe we should seek to find as much positive and good in others as we would hope that they would find in ourselves. I apologize to everyone else who doesn't want to participate in our discussion; if necessary, Barry and I will continue this discussion off-list. Sorry to take up bandwidth.

That does happen to most of us after a long enough time. Of course, your being a Mormon makes you possibly more sympathetic to "outsiders" and minority points of view. It was a Mormon family along with a Catholic (I believe) that brought about the most recent Supreme Court Case on prayer in public school or rather at football games. And the reaction to that decision just shows THEY don't get it. Forcing members of minority persuasions to deal with the impact of the majority religion in public places is not very fair. But, of course, proselytizing even to the discomfort of others has never stopped anyone who "believes."

Very well put, I agree there, too.

I'm quite sure about the $100 in Germany, because you can get a new one already at that price with a 2 years contract. If you follow the market, you'll find out, that the second hand price is close to the 2 years contract price, because you also get a new one if your contract is prolonged. Some sell these phones immediately on the second hand market with a small surcharge. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2000 12:23:51 +0100 Reply-To: Paulo.Custodio@alcatel.pt Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Paulo Custodio Organization: Alcatel Subject: Re: DOS Variable and Pick MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Try fsplit, available at Simtel ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2000 09:14:40 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Striegel, Alan" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Striegel, Alan" Subject: Re: conversion of HPLX note (ndb) format to csv Comments: To: Bill Schell MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Now there's something that rings a bell!

It sometimes attaches ownership of a file to who knows what. Two things to try; one, copy the file to a new name (maybe in a DOS session) to make a new file without a lock on it; and two, reboot to "MS-DOS Mode". See if either of these make a difference.

Just last week I was doing a bit of housecleaning in my office, and found an HP 200LX (2MB version) in pristine condition behind my desk. After putting in fresh main and backup batteries, much to my delight I found the unit to be fully functional. I did a quick internet search and came across a number of websites indicating that the 200LX has a well deserved cult following, and is actually quite an excellent device regardless of age. Also unearthed along with the 200LX was a US Robotics Megahertz "All Points" wireless PC card, with detachable telescoping and flexible antennaes. The bubble wrap packaging containing the modem card indicated that "the modem has been configured to disable charging, and will not drain the Palmtop battery." Included with the modem card was a PC card labeled "Zap-It For Windows," which appeared to have a program called "Infowave." I'm pretty much a dummy when it comes to DOS, but I was able to install the Infowave program on the 200LX. So here are a few questions: --My first priority is to establish file transferability between the Palmtop and my office PC. I'm currently hunting down the right serial cable, and have downloaded a program called "TransFile." As far as being able to swap files between the 200LX and my PC, am I on the right track? --Secondly, given the Megahertz "All Points" radio modem card and "Infowave" program that I found along with the Palmtop, what are my options as far as wireless email and/or internet access? Is that hardware and/or software still usable in today's wireless market? --Finally, can you point me towards user guides/manuals for the 200LX and/or the US Robotics Megahertz wireless PC card? My apologies for such a lengthy message. Given what I've come across on the internet regarding the viability of the HP 200LX, consider me an instant convert! I'm looking forward to exploring the possibilities of this device, and wishing I'd checked behind my desk last year, before I bought my PDA! I would welcome and appreciate any and all guidance that you might see fit to provide. Thank you for your time and attention.

The LX-related parts of the fluff mentioned some nice, searchable, Bible programs, that RUN on other people's LX. I decided to download some of them, while the fights raged on .... it gave me something to do, while waiting for answers to my other questions. I spent quite a bit of time downloading the DOS version of "Online Bible" (the install program and many modules for it) and it won't install on my LX. The one I'm talking about was at: http://www.onlinebible.simplenet.com/ Is this program too old to install w/o floppy disks? It's free, but I won't run out and put it on 10+ floppies AND buy a floppy drive for my LX to use the program. I tried putting all of the extracted files in the root directory of A:, and ran the "install.exe" it locks up my LX so hard that it won't respond to CTL-ALT-DEL (I can reset w/ CTL-LeftSHIFT-ON, but that's it). It doesn't get past showing that I hit enter, after typing "install". I undid (temporarily "REMed") Software Carousel and Buddy, to see if they might be causing a conflict and tried again. The only other things running are the times-2-tech drivers needed for the double-speed and memory upgrade (2X, 64MB)....

TransFile Win has some serious limitations. You will need some form of backup and while TransFile has a method for creating a monolithic copy of everything in the palmtop, you cannot restore just a single file from these sorts of backups. It is possible to use TransFile to copy files as individuals, but the date and time of creation get destroyed and replaced with the time of transfer. It is better to use the Connectivity Kit or the 200LX's built-in LapLink Remote Access (LLRA) along with other file management utilities, such as Xtree. For some guidance on setting up LLRA without having to buy a separate copy, see http://www.striegels.com/alan/HPLX/LLRA.TXT. 2. Sorry, I don't have much information on the use of the AllPoints radio modem or Infowave software. Infowave is still in business and offers wireless services, but whether they still support anything on the HPLX is undetermined -- they seem to be heavily into WAP stuff now. Have a look at http://www.infowave.com or call them at 1-800-463-6928. The Megahertz AllPoints Wireless PC Card may have been discontinued, as I could find no references to it newer than 1997. What that means as far as providers supporting it is probably not good. US Robotics/Megahertz was bought a couple of years ago by 3Com, so you may be able to find some information from their site at http://www.3com.com/mobile/pccards/nj18000r.html. 3.

However, the current software will work, although only on contact and text notes data, and it has some annoying limitations. It resets all your preferences, the date/time. It does not do appointments at present (that's what I'm working on right now - amongst many other projects). Also note, it only works on REX3 and the transfer is only one-way, from HP to REX (as makes sense with the read-only REX3).

I do hope you keep us informed about what you find out with the Megahertz All Points wireless card. The card is still sold but I don't see anyone offering it for use with the Palmtop in the U.S. A while back a fellow list member directed me to their provider, but that was in either Hong Kong or Taiwan. It used to be offered here in the U.S. for the Palmtop. I have written (emailed) the people who still offer such cards, about 200 LX support and never got an answer. I assume the issue is drivers, but since it used to be offered here for the 200LX and since it is currently offered in Asia I would think the drivers should exist and it would still work. I would certainly like to find out. As to Transfile, I use it often and never have had any problems with it though yes it does over-write the date-time stamp on files you transfer. Jim -----Original Message----- From: HPLX Mailing List Ýmailto:HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu¨On Behalf Of Nathan Olsen Sent: Monday, October 16, 2000 6:14 PM To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu Subject: 200LX newbie: Request for help Greetings-- I work for a public relations agency in Portland, Oregon, USA. Just last week I was doing a bit of housecleaning in my office, and found an HP 200LX (2MB version) in pristine condition behind my desk. After putting in fresh main and backup batteries, much to my delight I found the unit to be fully functional. I did a quick internet search and came across a number of websites indicating that the 200LX has a well deserved cult following, and is actually quite an excellent device regardless of age. Also unearthed along with the 200LX was a US Robotics Megahertz "All Points" wireless PC card, with detachable telescoping and flexible antennaes. The bubble wrap packaging containing the modem card indicated that "the modem has been configured to disable charging, and will not drain the Palmtop battery." Included with the modem card was a PC card labeled "Zap-It For Windows," which appeared to have a program called "Infowave." I'm pretty much a dummy when it comes to DOS, but I was able to install the Infowave program on the 200LX. So here are a few questions: --My first priority is to establish file transferability between the Palmtop and my office PC. I'm currently hunting down the right serial cable, and have downloaded a program called "TransFile." As far as being able to swap files between the 200LX and my PC, am I on the right track? --Secondly, given the Megahertz "All Points" radio modem card and "Infowave" program that I found along with the Palmtop, what are my options as far as wireless email and/or internet access? Is that hardware and/or software still usable in today's wireless market? --Finally, can you point me towards user guides/manuals for the 200LX and/or the US Robotics Megahertz wireless PC card? My apologies for such a lengthy message. Given what I've come across on the internet regarding the viability of the HP 200LX, consider me an instant convert! I'm looking forward to exploring the possibilities of this device, and wishing I'd checked behind my desk last year, before I bought my PDA! I would welcome and appreciate any and all guidance that you might see fit to provide. Thank you for your time and attention.

One day I came to find it making a buzzing noise after leaving it charging and it would not work right after that. I'm convinced that charging batteries in (some) 200LX's may be a problem. It causees the unit to heat up somewhat and that probably lowers the lifespan of some components. There are others on this list (with lots more knowledge of these things than I) that probably disagree. I decided to use alkaline batteries when I got my repaired unit back and have never had a circuit related problem since. >-----Original Message----- >From: Tim Pitman Ýmailto:tpitman@SOUTHCOM.COM.AU¨ >Sent: Monday, October 16, 2000 11:00 PM >To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu >Subject: ÝHPLX-L¨ HELP: Dead 100lx :( > > >My 100lx, after working wonderfully for 3 years, appears to >have died.

It's actually worth from $350-400. Check the links for ebay auctions below and see where the prices end up: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=464759518 http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=464759518 These guys also sell the units brand new and reconditioned: http://www.palmtoppaper.com If yours is absolutely mint with boxes manuals, etc. you may get $450-500. It's a really nice device. Mine has been expanded to 32MB and I have 150MB sandisk card I use with it. It's amazing all the things you can do with it. It will run any DOS software that would run on an IBM XT. I run an old copy of Excel/Windows and Foxpro as well as other useful old software. The only shortcomings are because of recent technologies not being supported. There is no backlighting and no (perfect) outlook sync. It would also be nice if a pointing device and an easy wireless internet solution were available. I have tried migrating to a Windows CE and Palm devices but have always found the need to keep my hp200lx with me. BTW: The HPLX-L mailing list is also a great part of owning the palmtop. It's my favorite on-line community. I've been a part of the list for almost 4 years now..... sheeesh! :-/ I gotta get out more often. >-----Original Message----- >From: Nathan Olsen Ýmailto:nolsen@ROCKEY-PORTLAND.COM¨ >Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2000 1:54 PM >To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu >Subject: Re: ÝHPLX-L¨ 200LX newbie: Request for help > > >Hi, Phil-- I share your not altogether misguided sense of >duty, and had >already checked this out with the person previously occupying my office >space.

Everyone has been very helpful after I've stumbled on here like a blithering idiot and basically said- "I found this neato palmtop gizmo, how do I use it?" Regarding condition, this particular 200LX's physical condition appears to be in the category of "straight from the factory." Perfect screen quality, keyboard works great, and no evidence of this hinge crack that I'm starting to read about on several of the palmtop websites. So my palmtop appears to be mint, yes, but without any original packaging, manuals, or power adaptor. At this point I'd like to get myself up to speed on how to take full advantage of this device, as opposed to simply hocking it for money. This is my first experience with a portable PC, apart from using the occasional laptop. Once I'm able to get the 200LX to interface with my office PC, it will definitely occupy a permanent place in my pocket or briefcase. The PDA I currently use is a Motorola StarTAC clip-on organizer. While it enjoys excellent synchronization capabilities and the ability to interact with my cell phone, its overall utility is definitely eclipsed by the much older HP 200LX. Thanks for the reply and excellent information.

You might find Telhard de Chardin's "Phenomenon of Man" interesting in this light. He see's the entire universe becoming more complex and more organized. He gives examples on many levels: astronomical, history of civilization, etc. He expects that it will eventually reach the point where the entire universe is a single, very complex entity. That will be God. He says we're part of the process of God creating himself. Fun reading. I doubt if it's available in etext. :) He also predicted Windows CE as early as 1955.

I have a Kodak DC280 and the compact flash card that came with it not only works on the 200lx, but it's formatted the same and I can read and write to it with the 200lx. I don't have any reason to do this but I tried it when I got it just so I'd know the possibilites. I do need the compact flash to PCMCIA adapter but I'm sure you already figured that out.

I would suggest that you start with a Compact Flash storage card and a PCMCIA adapter and hit the SUPER site with an RC and Moon Pie to keep you nourished as you browse the offerings there. The wireless card will serve you better in a laptop. In general the LX will run any program that does not require extended memory (and I would avoid programs that require expanded memory) Replace the batteries with NiMH units and set SysMgr/System/Batteries to NiCads and enable charging. (Start with a fully charged pair) Then come back here for help with each question... and be careful not to drop the unit... and a prayer to whomever for your luck. -- Hope this Helps...

TransFile Win has some serious limitations. You will need some form of backup and while TransFile has a method for creating a monolithic copy of everything in the palmtop, you cannot restore just a single file from these sorts of backups. It is possible to use TransFile to copy files as individuals, but the date and time of creation get destroyed and replaced with the time of transfer. It is better to use the Connectivity Kit or the 200LX's built-in LapLink Remote Access (LLRA) along with other file management utilities, such as Xtree. For some guidance on setting up LLRA without having to buy a separate copy, see http://www.striegels.com/alan/HPLX/LLRA.TXT. 2. Sorry, I don't have much information on the use of the AllPoints radio modem or Infowave software. Infowave is still in business and offers wireless services, but whether they still support anything on the HPLX is undetermined -- they seem to be heavily into WAP stuff now. Have a look at http://www.infowave.com or call them at 1-800-463-6928. The Megahertz AllPoints Wireless PC Card may have been discontinued, as I could find no references to it newer than 1997. What that means as far as providers supporting it is probably not good. US Robotics/Megahertz was bought a couple of years ago by 3Com, so you may be able to find some information from their site at http://www.3com.com/mobile/pccards/nj18000r.html. 3.

But the fact is, most people (including myself) who bought a 2meg HP200LX brand new some years ago paid about $450 (in the USA). In those good old days, a used 2meg HP200LX would go for about $250 on Ebay. Now everyone is in panic mode about getting one, hence the high prices for a used one. This proves two things: 1-HP made a BIG mistake in discontinuing this product. 2-We ARE a cult indeed. :-) Domingo P.S You could indeed buy several HP200LX for the prices PCMCIA cards used to command, but fortunately that has changed at lot. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2000 21:22:47 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Domingo Diaz-V Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Domingo Diaz-V Subject: Re: Quick/LX: QSync says Quick does not seem to be installed...

Any tips anyone would > like to share? I have run it under Win95 and now under Win98. I have its properties set to Not detect Windows. I have it run in a window. Otherwise, I guess I have it set as any other dos box. Now, at this point I should admit, I have no idea if I may have tweaked the original app200.bat file somewhere over the years. I recall something was needed to run it under Desqview all those years ago and never quite succeeded. And to emphasize, I do NOT have to quit Win98 and reboot to DOS mode. It runs in a dos window under win98 and while other things are also running. Be aware, that per a recent discussion, the cpack will only display the first 250 (+/-) files in a directory. Usually not a problem on the hp (but it could be) but maybe an issue if you move files from larger win98 subdirectories. You can use the Filter function to try selecting appropriately sized subsets of the files.

In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi All. A while back I mentioned I'd had some odd things happen w/ my LX. Some of my "options" reset to the out of the box default.... Best example is the "More Applications" screen went to the default order and I lost the icons, shortcuts, etc. for things I had added. I imagine an .env file bit the dust. Well, some other things have been worse, but I waited 'til I could take a moment to test them, before "hollering" to the group. What could make Post/LX stop talking to ANY modem? . I've looked through the config. files, all seems OK. I've tried two internal and one external. I dug out my old ModemBlaster 14.4 PCMCIA card (thought my new, fast modem might've died), and it wouldn't work. I *also* tried an external modem. I've rebooted, looked at settings (COM1 in DOS is on, the "lock serial port" in Buddy is *not* checked ... I believe I've been trying COM1 for the external and COM2 for the internal). The only reassuring thing is that I hear the old internal 14.4 "click," when I turn the LX on and off. I took a lot of time testing the 56K modem (i.e., I went into the built in com. prog. and tried a lot of settings, made text files that had initialization strings in them and copied them to the COM port, etc. ... that used to work w/ old DOS computers, dunno if the LX would work with that). With the old 14.4, I've also tried Post/LX with its old, simpler initialization string in Post/LX (it didn't work) *AND* I've tried the built-in COM program THAT worked(!). Got a connection to CompuServe and did some text-based poking around (BTW, I thought that was all gone). The 56K, from Thaddeus, was working fine, w/ Post/LX, 'til Labor Day weekend, That's how long it's taken me to dig out my other modem and perform the "final" test. I didn't think I should email the group unless I made the internal program work or fail w/ a simpler modem (some "brain sweat" is mandatory, before approaching the brain trust). Anyway, I've typed enough. Is there something simple I should check? What are the "hard" things? TIA for any help. --tim PS. Didn't load anything or change settings, when I took it on vacation. It worked in the morning and didn't work in the next morning, at a hotel (it WAS an analog line ... they promised). ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2000 11:18:35 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Robert K.

Does anyone have a KJV Bible, with our without engine that fits on a 1.2M or 1.44M floppy?

(3) copy and paste only the data (line 2 onwards) from your CSV file into myfile.csv (keeping the database field headings) (4) use GDBLOAD to convert back to myfile.gdb, as in gdbload myfile.gdb myfile.csv There should be no need to convert from Excel to Access first before getting your CSV data file. GDBLOAD requires that the date fields should appear in the format YYYYMMDD.

Bob: About 5 years ago, when the internet was just catching on, I did some exploring trying to find just the plain ASCII text files of the Bible. I managed to locate the KJV in ASCII text, one file per book. Total disk space is about 4MB. I just did an experiment and was able to zip them up to a file that is 1.465 MB, just a shade too big for your "Bible on a floppy" request. Perhaps if you omitted your least favorite couple of books from the zip archive, you could make it fit. Or, you can follow Hebrew tradition, and using the Unix tr command, we can elminate all the vowels from the text files. Surely that would get us down to 1.4MB for a floppy... If you want these text files, I can e-mail you the zip archive and/or try to figure out where it was I located them on the internet. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

Limited connect speeds make it desirable as well if you have a very limited connect speed. However, most of the current PDA platforms have wireless browse options that are far superior to the limits of WAP which, in turn and IMHO, tends to limit WAP to phones and pagers. From my observations, those most interested in connectivity have, or want, connected PDA's. We looked at WAP here and eventrually stayed with a combination of standard pages plus the option of generating text only emails on request to meet those needs that we had. I may be missing something, but I did put in the time and effort and still came to that conclusion. -- Beverly Howard http://www.BevHoward.com ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2000 23:12:36 +0100 Reply-To: remce@gofree.indigo.ie Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Richard E. McEvoy" Subject: Goodbye TFW3,LLRA,CONNPAC MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Last June someone posted a note about a PCMCIA card reader/writer (CardDock Model Gs-220M from Greystone Peripherals) which was being offered by Daniel Buchalter <buchalter@pacbell.net> in San Leandro for $30 plus a modest shipping charge for the USA - but $23.42 for Ireland  8-(   .

The drive is internal and needs a slot the size of a CDROM drive on the front of your desktop. There was no software to install; Win 95 detected it.  I'm adding a cautionary note relating to _MY_ Win95 which crashed every time I attempted to use the drive. I'm pretty sure this had to do with corrupt files on my early version Win95 which was giving lots of trouble at the time; so much so that I was persuaded to upgrade to Win 98 - 2nd edition.

When I installed it in Win98 about the end of August, I thought I had died and gone to computer heaven. It worked like a dream come true compared to other backup solutions. Sure, it just copies files as from one directory to another, but it works almost at the same speed. It takes two cards, detecting them automatically, and will copy from one to the other as well as to and from the desktop. I don't remember anything that installed and worked so well, and everything in fractions of a second.

If Daniel Buchalter hears about this plug, do you think he might refund me some of the handling fee? <VBG>

Richard.

It is only intent is to present the facts and clear up a modern myth. I sincerely hope all readers will enjoy the truth. Separation of church and state is not in the US Constitution or Bill of Rights. The concept was described in a letter from Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptist Association. It is clearly written to keep the government out of the churches, not the other way around. The courts and certain other elements have perverted the concept and deceived the American people. While the media and the current establishment would have you believe the US was founded as a secular nation, a brief study of this nation's early history will prove otherwise. Colin "The Letter of Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptist Association January 1, 1802 Gentlemen: The affectionate sentiments of esteem and approbation which you are so good to express towards me, on behalf of the Danbury Baptist Association, give me the highest satisfaction. My duties dictate a faithful and zealous pursuit of the interests of my constituents, and in proportion as they are persuaded of my fidelity to those duties, the discharge of them becomes more and more pleasing. Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes acccount to none other for his faith of his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole. American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between church and State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties. I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection and blessings of the common Father and Creator of man, and tender you and your religious association, assurances of my high respect and esteem.

I bought a Canon A50 camera that came with a 8mb Canon branded CF card. The card did not work in my double-speed 200LX (with the same symptoms as you described), but worked fine in my unmodified single-speed 200LX. Further, several list members had the same card and swore that the card worked in their double-speed LXs, but to complicate things, it appeared also that the same Canon branded cards may have also have been manufactured by different vendors. My double-speed has never had a problem with a CF/flash card until this one, and I tried every suggestion (and then some) to make it work to no avail. I ultimately sold the card to another list member (with the appropriate warnings). My suggestion is to trade the card with a comparable one from someone else ... or buy a new card from the store (where you could try them out).

For instance, I get my phone bill online from Deutsche Telekom. The format is CSV and all fields are enclosed in double quotes (which makes sense because the numerical fields contain commas). Now, when I try to open the CSV file in Lotus 1-2-3 (Millennium 9.5 version on Windows 95, haven't tried this with the 2.4 version on the palmtop), 1-2-3 interprets all fields enclosed in double quotes as labels. The result is that there are no numeric fields at all in the spreadsheet and functions like @SUM(....) don't work on these fields. Setting the whole columns to FIXED(...,...) doesn't help but removing the apostroph from each single label does (a royal pain). Great standards, huh?

And a 100LX mainboard shouldn'T be too hard o find. The double speed upgrade is easily swappable (if you added it by yourself, you are also able to swap it to the new mainboard). Maybe you won't find a 2MB board, since there are not such common, as far as I know. Nd the 1MBs are unfortunately not upgradeble. But maybe you fond one. Or you replace it by a 200LX motherboard. Only the keyboard is a little bit diffierent, but when you learn which keys are different, you should soon have no problem anymore (I think only the blue keys are different). I have an old 100LX motherboard which I would sell to you. But is is a German one.

With numerous suggestions for applying the 200LX's power to various tasks, it is a catalyst for ideas with a practical base. Think of it as a concentrated dose of this mail list/newsgroup and you might see how it can jump-start a new user's application.

I can do this with whichever books I want. This means I will be able to put exactly as much as I want on my 200LX. I have a 10MB ATA card (SunDisk) that will easily accommodate the whole thing. But it's convenient to have the books in separate files--I doubt that Memo will handle the whole Bible file (4+MB), since the 200LX itself has only 5MB. My DVED editor would probably work, but to make it quickly through such a large file I would want to have double speed (and probably 8MB or so of RAM to give everything the space to work).

Shows Jefferson interpreting that phrase in the first amendment to mean that there will be a seperation of church and state. Ok, what does Jefferson know? He was out of the country when the constitution was written. But didn't he participate in the writing of the bill of rights? Do we know who included that phrase? Jefferson or not, both he and a lot of supreme court justices since have concluded that that phrase does in fact establish a seperation of church and state. Jefferson or some other may have been first to use that phrase, but it was used to describe that provision of the first amendment. Further, I declare my inalienable right to go to a football game and not be forced to pray and not be forced into the hypocracy of pretending to pray and not to be subject to scorn for refusing to pray. In the second or third grade, living in Taylor, Texas, I was the only Jewish kid in the school and my choice was to be voluble in my recitation of the morning lord's prayer or fight half a dozen guys on the way home. I learned to fight. Their older brothers were fighting with knives. Fortunately we moved away before it got to that point for me. Any Christian who thinks there's no harm in prayer in school and in football games and so forth is making assumptions about the goodness of other Christians that can't be justified by history or even the present population, and that are just not true. Christians are not all kindly people who only want what's good for everyone. Some are. Some are murderers. The vast majority fall somewhere in between. As for discussion of biblical software on the LX on this list, I can't imagine why anyone cares. Non-religious people can sometimes be as intolerant as the religious ones, I guess.

This is an HP list. I'd suspect that is why most people are here. If we want to discuss religion, cars, politics (whatever), there are places to do so, and while I don't recall the specifics of the list charter, this getter chatter probably doesn't apply. This doesn't need to be the place for these discussions, nor should it be. To be sure, we can just hit "delete", and I do, and it's not a big deal - but in my opinion this list is getting out of control. I've been reading it for years, and while I can't imagine unsubscribing, I'm amazed I've even considered it recently. The way Avi was treated after his happy holidays post was an absolute disgrace, and why that discussion wasn't nipped in the bud, I have no idea. End of rant.

Shows Jefferson interpreting that phrase in the first amendment to mean that there will be a seperation of church and state. Ok, what does Jefferson know? He was out of the country when the constitution was written. But didn't he participate in the writing of the bill of rights? Do we know who included that phrase? Jefferson or not, both he and a lot of supreme court justices since have concluded that that phrase does in fact establish a seperation of church and state. Jefferson or some other may have been first to use that phrase, but it was used to describe that provision of the first amendment. Further, I declare my inalienable right to go to a football game and not be forced to pray and not be forced into the hypocracy of pretending to pray and not to be subject to scorn for refusing to pray. In the second or third grade, living in Taylor, Texas, I was the only Jewish kid in the school and my choice was to be voluble in my recitation of the morning lord's prayer or fight half a dozen guys on the way home. I learned to fight. Their older brothers were fighting with knives. Fortunately we moved away before it got to that point for me. Any Christian who thinks there's no harm in prayer in school and in football games and so forth is making assumptions about the goodness of other Christians that can't be justified by history or even the present population, and that are just not true. Christians are not all kindly people who only want what's good for everyone. Some are. Some are murderers. The vast majority fall somewhere in between. As for discussion of biblical software on the LX on this list, I can't imagine why anyone cares. Non-religious people can sometimes be as intolerant as the religious ones, I guess.

The problem appeared when some CE app automatically created a "My Documents" folder on the CF card without any type of notification. The next time the CF card was inserted into a Windows machine, Explorer slowed to a crawl accessing the card, but folders and files finally displayed properly. The "My Documents" folder stood out because of the upper/lowercase name. Next, the "My Documents" folder was invisble to dos. A DIR command didn't show it. The only way to access it was to include the full path name in quotes... i.e.; CD "\My Documents" Using the Windows Explorer, I deleted the folder, and then created a new folder named "My Documents" Explorer came back up to full speed accessing the card. The new folder showed up in a Dos DIR command as "MYDOCU~1" WinCE was oblivious to the fact that anything had changed when the card was re-inserted in the device. It now appears that if you pre-empt CE from creating the "My Documents" folder by doing it yourself and following 8.3 naming conventions on additional files and folders created or renamed on the CE device, there will be no problems. I am also taking the precaution of generating an empty "My Documents" folder on all of my other CF disks. -- Hope this Helps...

I've never bothered to run any LX software on a desktop, but I understand it can be done using PAL. Others on the list will hopefully jump in here. You can supposedly export the project data to another LX database, but I have never got this to work. The only export facility appears to be via Print.

Excel loves it. Either way, I don't think you'll find it easy or even possible to work with both PJT2 and some other Project Manager software. I'm perfectly happy with only PJT2 and the 200LX, even though I have Microsoft Project. It's a combination that makes other people in planning meetings look very slow and inflexible as they wait for Windows to do something or scribble all over their project printouts. It's pretty satisfying to flip open the LX, bring up the project in seconds, update it, point out any conflicts or problems with the new proposals, and put the LX back in the pocket. Meanwhile the others are still starting up their software.

The "modern court's agenda" or rather a few fed up, courageous individuals who said enough "Protestant" teachings occuring in Public Schools. Enough of Christmas and the Handel's Messiah at public assemblies and asked the court to THINK about the implications of 'hidden' religious agendas to those with young children of minority persuasions? Reverse your cloak and think about those folks for a while without thinking about proselytizing everyone within reach. No in-built sensitivity? Well, darn, that's what the court is for. I understand you prefer this "de facto" religious preaching but it differs little from "de jure" (government sponsored or required) especially when "innocently" practiced on young children. And I personally attend concerts of Bach Oratorios VOLUNTARILY at the symphony hall but I pass on Handel - it is a bit too much religion of the "wrong" type for my tastes. Our constitution and its Bill of Rights was written to protect the minority (religion, race, creed, etc) from the tyranny of the majority. See our founding fathers fixed some of the precepts you think our country was founded on. And our later "non-founders" fixed even some of the things they thought appropriate - little things like slavery. I know, I'm sure our then Modern Court got it wrong by some perspectives when the Dred Scott decision was finally revisited. Of course with enough immigration maybe Buddist or Muslim or Catholic prayers will be common in public schools - I want to see your opinions then: "Daddy (or Grandaddy) who was Muhammad?" But, once again, back to the HPLIST - the Bible and this discussion is FLUFF. (Sorry, to bore you, again, Tom!

Having maintained the DR-DOS kernel for a while, I thought of making a CueCat driver TSR myself, for fun, before DigitalConvergence gave me all that c**p about their "intellectual property". Incidently, you should know that they will go after you with lawyers and all if they see you do any kind of CueCat project they don't approve of (approximately all projects). > Now, I was able to download version 0.1.6 of your CueCat driver about a > month ago. One of the interesing things I saw was the HTML file you > included descibing how to use the CueCat on a standard RS2332 serial > port. Coincidently, the 200LX has an RS232 port on it. Indeed the CueCat driver package contains instructions to make an RS232 "pod" to connect a CueCat on a serial port. However, beware that it relies on two tricks : (1) the pod only contains a 7404 to invert the TTL signal from the CueCat, which means that your serial port must be "open-minded" enough to accept TTL levels as valid logical levels (which they aren't by far, if you follow the RS232 specs) : most PC/AT serial ports do, but I don't know if your 200LX's serial port will. I know for a fact that Mac ports don't. If the 200LX wants stricter voltage levels, you'll have to replace the 7404 by a MAX232 or equivalent chip. (2) the CueCat sends data at approximately 8000 bps : that's an highly unusual speed for a serial port. Again, the clock and the dividers used in a PC/AT allows to get close enough to that speed to read the CueCat, but I don't know if you can do that with a 200LX. > What I would like to ask is, would you be willing to make the RS232_pod > files publically available.

I think this was established in Lotus before CSV became a standard. As I remember it (it's been years so I may be a little confused), Lotus wants strings (labels) in quotes and it wants numbers without quotes. Formulas are numbers, of course. This wasn't a new pattern with Lotus and dBase. Data in basic was handled in the same way. I don't know if CSV now does things that way or if it puts everything in quotes. But I think the old way is probably more practical. It's often important to distinguish between strings and numbers and content isn't always a reliable way to do it. Zip codes, phone numbers and social security numbers, for example, are numeric in content but are usually stored as strings.

Given that Turbo C (and probably Turbo Pascal) are still in use by lots of people all over the world I find it hard to think of them as obsolete. I think it's a safe bet that 50% of the C source on sites like Simtelnet, Jumbo and xtftp are written in Turbo C. And not the ++ varieties, either. The number of hobbiests writing code for old computers is pretty high and Turbo C is pretty much the favorite for Dos computers. It was passed around very liberally long before it became freeware. In fact, Borland had so many requests for it that for years they sold copy licenses for $50. You bought the license from Borland and it gave you the right to make a copy of someone else's compiler and use it legally. For CP/M, Turbo Pascal is still popular, although it isn't the standard that TC is for dos. It's CP/M version has been available for download on the web since there was a web.

The current months messages are included when searching the year 2000. This is only updated once a day, so posts in the last 24 hours may not be included in your search. The current month is NOT included if you search All Years. It takes 6+ hours to regenerate the All Years index, during which time there is little cpu or memory left to do anything else. To generate the All Years index, I move the yearly indices to a much faster machine, but it still takes over an hour to merge them. More punctuation characters are now allowed in words, meaning, you can now search for words like WWW/LX, LX-MapBlast, etc. A few stats: The archive currently contains 56,471 messages, consuming 408MB for the messages, and another 144MB for the various indices.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Tim, I'm not an authority on this, but since you've had no other replies (yet) I'll chip in with my understanding... I came across the Kak.Worm virus the other day. It has can produce similar symptoms to the ones you report. It carries a triggering mechanism by e-mail that is a script. The script (carried as part of an attached vCard, I believe) "abuses" a couple of ActiveX controls that are part of Internet Explorer (IE). Via the ActiveX controls it obtains privileges it wouldn't otherwise have. These controls had been marked by MS as "safe for scripting", as they hadn't forseen their misuse. Outlook Express uses some of IE's code - it's part of the operating system, right? ;-) The message you're getting suggests that your system has the latest security patches applied to IE that mark these two ActiveX controls as unsafe for scripting and hence block the virus' nefarious attempts at abusing them. After a long explanation, I have two further comments: 1) You cannot see the unsafe content (ActiveX) as it's not part of the e-mail, it's part of IE. 2) I had a friend forward to me his infected e-mail. I examined it via Post/LX. I also let it arrive into a client called Turnpike, saved the attachments to disk and looked at them with a hex editor but could see nothing remotely dodgy.

Due to the size of the "SysMgr" in the HP 100LX CPACK (TKERNEL .EXE), memory is too tight to allow reasonable task swapping. Remember that the SysMgr on the HP 100LX added the database engine, GLED (global editor), LHAPI, and additional System Manager functions. All of these features are necessary in order to run the HP 100LX applications. This takes memory.

Theres a driver on the Sandisk site for this purpose but I couldn't make it work. It says it's to make a SDP5 Sandisk card (I have an old 10 meg SDP5) work on the 95lx. I don't really have any need to make that work so I didn't try very hard. I was just curious. But I spent about 10 minutes with it and used their sample autoexec.bat and/or config.sys and it didn't work. If someone does make that work, would you let me know?

I'm thinking a 10 Mb card should do the > trick. How much should one cost? ATA is a type of interface which is generally compatible with the 200lx. SanDisk is a brand name. They manufacture what are probably the best quality flash cards. They are ATA. They use the longest lasting memory and usually draw less power than the others. I say usually because it's a race and it goes back and forth. SanDisk is more expensive. I would reccomend getting a SanDisk compact flash and an adapter for the 200lx. That lets you use the card without the adapter for other devices. I use mine in the 200lx and laptop with the adapater and in my desktop compact flash reader/writer without the adapater. That makes backups really easy and and it's simple to move stuff around. I also can use them in my camera without the adapter. If you don't have or plan to get any other devices that can use compact flash, the full size card is about the same price but you'll save the $13 for the adapater. The adapter's are very nicely made and fit snugly and come off easily. It's a nice package. There are other popular brands that work fine in the 200lx, such as Simple Technology's cards. They cost less but they currently draw more power. Most compact flash and PCMCIA flash manufacturers give detailed information on their websites if you want to compare them. Some brands won't work on the 200lx. I think most will but I don't know which ones won't. Some require a driver to work. I think Simple and SanDisk both work fine without drivers. But I'm only sure of SanDisk because that's all I've used.

My main intention in writing FRAMES was, to reveal the last secrets, the palmtop kept, like the built in rotation feature and virtual screens (also called clip regions) which fit almost perfect with the frames concept. Don't expect too much from FRAMES. It shall just show, that frames are well possible on the palmtop. FRAMES is open source and everybody who likes to use the draft as a starting point for further development is welcome. FRAMES is written in C--. I chose C-- for several reasons: It produces the smallest and fastest code. FRAMES is just 5KB. Libraries don't add to code overhead, because functions are only attracted if used. Look at C-- as a subset of C with features of C++. C-- is also a complete assembler. You may switch between C and assembly whenever you want, even in the middle of a line of code. The compiler works perfect and fast on the palmtop. Unfortunately I cannot remember who pointed me to it, but it must have been someone from this list. One ulterior motive was indeed, to let D&A think over the discontinued HV, because it's easier to add FRAMES to HV than HV to FRAMES. And last but not least I also wanted to show, that the palmtop is not dead. Download FRAMES from http://home.t-online.de/home/stefan.peichl/frames.zip On my homepage and in the doc of FRAMES you will find links to the freeware C-- compiler.

I got the impression from this > newsgroup that no email was compatible with dos. If I understand the question - WWW/lx with the POST module does EMAIL and all of this runs in DOS on the DOS HP200 (and 100). As a matter of fact that is the only email suite I use - I use it on the HP200 and on my home and Work Win98 machines in a dos window using the Palrun emulator that folks were mentioning (altho, in that thread, it was the wrong context - exm) As a matter of fact this reply is being composed in a dos box on my win98 machine using WWW and POST. Also, you can use the whole suite to do newsgroups and you can even cruise the web using HV (a free component) altho, as the web evolves into complicated permutations, hv is more and more limited altho, I know you were following the mapblast question - that was developed so that folks could cruise to his site and get maps under HV. As as Stefan referenced in his FRAMES announcement, HV does not do frames but he hopes to convince the powers (programmers!) that be, that maybe, just maybe it can. Hope this helps. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 22 Oct 2000 00:48:42 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ken Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ken Subject: Re: WWW/LX Version 3 Upgrade Offer Expiry Comments: To: fjkaufman@worldnet.att.net MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit One of the things that was confusing about www/lx was that some poeple in this newsgroup were complaining about not being able to get an e-mail account that supported dos.

I think most of the complaints have been about connecting to free ISP's, or some of the global ISP's like AOL and Compuserve, or other ISP's that use web-based email. Most ISP's will probably work with the LX, although very few will offer any technical support for DOS, and indeed many will say that you must be using Win95+, but that's only because the kids they got in technical support have never used DOS. You just have to figure it out yourself if they won't help, but once you do, there are a number of email clients which work well on the LX. The previously mentioned Post/LX heads the list. Others include Goin' Postal, PNR (uses the LXTCP package), ccLXPop (also uses LXTCP and the built-in ccMail program), and Nettamer. All of these are designed for the LX. I've also used PC-Pine on the LX and I understand Pegasus Mail for DOS also works. Web surfing is another matter. WWW/LX and HV work well on simple pages. HV doesn't support java or javascript and has limited support of tables and frames. It is a challenge to find useful websites, but some that I regularly use are Altavista and Deja(news). You have to find their text based pages though. Unfortuneately, there really is no other option for the web. The Arachne web browser runs on the LX, but even on my DS LX I found it painfully slow. A version of Bobcat (like Lynx) also runs on the palmtop. Again, very slowly, and it's only text based anyway. So, to summarize, email definitely works on LX, but websurfing is limited.

The server that serves email has no clue what the operating system is on _your_ machine. I think what these people complained about is that they cannot access their email using the World Wide Web (and HV) to do it. We do not support Java or Javascript with HV and most, if not all of these web-basd email services use Java and Javascript. . > For me that seemed like e-mail on the 200lx was > impossible.

I don't know of anyone doing it now. I really don't think that stuff worked out too well. You will need to find a service provider that has coverage in your area. I just can't imagine that the palmtop's 2 AA batteries have enough juice to power the palmtop AND a radio transmitter. You will probably be locked into a specific provider and a specific program to access the Email. I can't imagine that they still support a DOS version. I think you would be much better off with a cel phone that has a built in modem and connect it to the serial port of the palmtop. I do this and it works GREAT! I can use any ISP and any software that runs on the palmtop.

I recently installed the latest IE updates and I've been getting that warning about unsafe activex scripts on a couple of sites that I feel fairly confident are safe sites. Your explanation might account for this. The sites are probably calling functions that were designated as ok so they're likely to be legitimate calls. But the sites probably haven't been updated as recently as IE. It isn't really a problem so far. I get the warning, tell it to go on with the rest of the page, which it does, skipping that function and I can't ever tell the difference. But I've been protected. The next site I find that on might not work, but so far I haven't seen any problems at all.

My experience is maybe extreme, and I am a highly motivated user to use our product, so this report is definitely biased, but it is true, so you can draw your own own conclusions. I think the palmtop is a terrific platform for email. I have 8 active mailboxes, and I get email from all of them EACH time I login. I can separate my emails effectively with filters to help me read. I have probably 40 folders where my messages are kept. Some are on C: drive some on my A: drive. The C drive folders are all the actual mailboxes and those I filters messages into, the others are archival in nature since I manually move things into them, they are all on A: drive. I keep and maintain over 50,000 messages on the palmtop. I have about 40MB in messages and programs on C: and another 10MB on the A: drive. About attachments: I process these as fast ans I can and get rid of them. Post/LX has commands to save them as files and to strip them from messages. All this is very simple for me, and I have been doing it since 1995 or 1996. I run the entire email of D&A, including support right out of the palmtop. The also means orders. I also am involved in three other businesses and all the email for those businesses runs on the palmtop as well. You should not make any assumptions about doing things on the palmtop - instead try it. Last word about the Web-based email: It is fun, and I use it occasionally too. But I am very very leery about doing it on any public computer. Think about it: When you login you type your password. When you receive and _read_ a message from your boss or about competition, it is on a public computer. You may be lulled to thinking that it is only on the screen, and you erase the screen, but that is a dangerous oblivion. If you see it, it is already on the disk drive of the machine you use at that cafe, and possibly even on theri local server disk drives. It is EXTREMELY likely that it is a machine that is snooped on by hackers, since these are machiines with a stable IP. Sure, they may have anti-hackers measures, or not - you do not know, and frnakly, they don't care! If you are happy with the prospect of love letters to your wife to be shared with some hacker from some other country, or maybe a nice confidential email from someone else being shared by whoever - maybe even sold by the hacker to your competition - then you have the solution in cybercafes. But I think you just had no idea this is so. I'll let other people comment on the cybercafes safety and on my opinion on them. All the best. Avi M.

Tamiya's web site, www.tamiya.com has a parts list for their cars that includes a Nicad 7.2 volt battery that's long and flat and has 2 wire leads. I also checked their list of new products but I couldn't find anything. From the look of that battery it could possibly hold 4 AA batteries. I couldn't get any sense of the size. I'm judging by it's shape. But even that's 4.8 volts. And they have 2 models of the battery. One is 1200 mAH and one is 1700. Neither of those make much sense for multiple AA batteries.

The 'Tamiya' batteries of which you speak, are, in terms of physical size, the standard battery pack form for all 1/10 scale Radio Controlled Car racing throughout the world. The cells are 'Sub-C' size, about twice the volume of AAs, and until recently were entirely NiCds. The ONLY manufacturer who has been able to produce quality, high-current-capable, robust NiCd cells is Sanyo. No other manufacturer's racing packs are used anywhere in the world by serious racers. Even the Tamiya packs contain Sanyo cells. The racing packs consist of six cells in series, producing a nominal voltage of 7.2 volts, although this is of course only realised at very low discharge rates. These NiCd Cells were originally only available with an energy capacity of 1200mAH, but since 1989, cells of 1400, 1700, 2000 and most recently, 2400mAH. have been developed. Also very recently, NiMH cells of sufficient current capability have become available with 3000mAH energy capacity in the Sub-C format. These have now been approved for racing by the world body (IFMAR). The R/C racing cars fall into two main categories: Offroad and Onroad. Within these two groups there are a multitude of racing classes based on mechanical design and/or body style. The current draw of the 'mildest' class, Formula 1 Stock, is in the region of 20 Amps average over a five-minute race, with peaks of 30A. By contrast the draw for the premier classes, 4WD Modified Offroad and Modified Touring Car Onroad, averages 30 Amps with peaks of more than 60A over a 4 minute race. We ALWAYS fast-charge our NiCd cells at currents between 3 and 6 Amps, yet they last at least two years of racing every weekend. It is even claimed that fast-charging is beneficial to the cells by preventing the buildup of crystal growths within the cells. The chargers we use are also quite sophisticated, using a voltage-peak detection method to determine full charge, some also including computer-controlled charging profiles to further reduce crystal growth. It is claimed that the new NiMH cells will be as able to cope with this apparent abuse in both charging and usage as the NiCds have proven to be. A final word about prices: Top grade 2000mAH matched Sub-C NiCd cells cost from $US10 to $US30 EACH. That's per cell. NiMH cells are said to be only slightly more expensive. You can buy low grade unmatched cells for less, of course. I don't know where you saw $2 cells, but they must be really bad. I realise all of the above is of no significance to us as LX users in our search for AAs that will last forever, except that it shows the steady rate of development in rechargeable cells and charging technology is far from ended. Hope everyone will forgive me for not labelling this FLUFF.

If you have a digital camera, make sure to check the maximum size CF card that it can use. My HP200LX is a double speed 32 meg, but when I checked my Digital camera for the maximum size CF card it could use, I discovered that it could not use a CF card that was larger than 30 megs. I found that a 30 meg SanDisk CF card with an adapter was really cheap at various sales sites on the internet. The 30 meg SanDisk CF card I purchased works well in all of my devices and it's only 2 megs short of the 32 meg CF card that I would have purchased. I don't have more than 30 megs of files on my HP200LX anyway, so that compromise offered a CF card that still works great for backing up my HP200LX. :-) Cheers!

After following many of the threads in this newsgroup I'm not sure > what can be done on the 200lx as far as email and web surfing. As was mentioned, the issue seemed to be finding FREE email clients (both for windows and probably for dos). The www/lx suite contains an email reader (POST), a newsgroup module - Robot scripts for newsgroups, and HV for surfing. There are also some other add-ons for ftp and downloading a page or more (GET). The POST module works for email. I use it for both my AT&T account and for two CIS accounts and I understand its new IMAP even works for the newer cis2000 email. (Tony??) As was mentioned, many ISP's only know windows. I went through this with AT&T. Actually, I beta tested POST/www with AT&T and watched Andreas code and debug it based on my info to him in about 48 hours - it was the first CHAP email protocol supported. It was a fairly amazing coding effort from my view. All along AT&T kept telling me it could not work with dos. Even now they tell me it canNOT work with dos!!!! Sad, huh! In many cases, I will admit, you probably do need a Windows machine to initiate some of these accounts but once that is done, the HP with an email client works fine. As was mentioned there are other DOS email clients. I did use Nettamer before POST was available. It is a bit disjointed in its interface but works. It is shareware. I don't know the other products mentioned.

Hi All, Just curious. Does anyone know if there is a DOS emulator available for Palm organizers? Both Juno and Yahoo offer free Palm VII software that allows one to wirelessly access their email. I'm still working on a project that might result in free access to my Juno email and possibly even Yahoo email access from my HP200LX. If that project doesn't yield free access to my email from my HP200LX, I would then contemplate purchasing a TrgPro to be used with a regular modem card or even a Palm VIIx for relatively expensive wireless access.

None, that I know of or have found. The Palm VII apps are different than the apps that run on the Palm V and lower. They make use of the wireless, web clipping that the Palm VII does. The borrowed Palm V that I am currently using is currently loaded with Eudora and is working quite nicely while combined with my Qualcomm phone for wireless access to email.

HV is mostly C but also parts in Assembler. It is about as optimized as humanly possible.

I certainly don't think it makes a lot of sense to do > work on the program just to kill it. I didn't know you'd already been using asm. However, it's usually possible to add major sections of code even in a small model program if you use far pointers just to it and pass it far pointers to data it needs to access. A far function in C. I've written some fairly large programs in small model. However I do realize that doing that in a program that isn't designed with that in mind isn't always going to be practical. > > Also Pal isn't conservative with space either.

In the time it takes you to read this mesage, at least another 100 Japanese people will have acquired an Internet-ready telephone.

You are clearly looking at the wrong stuff. These are the Radio Controlled (RC) cars your talking about. The new Tamiya cars (don't know what they are called) are not RC controlled and have only small motors in them that make them go-n-go-n-go around a racetrack which you can pit your car against another fellow car racer.

I didn't know that. Grrr. When the PAL project started I didn't realize who it's leader was and I thought it was Harry Konstas who wrote the package that the idea for PAL was based on. So I posted a message offering to write a an assembly replacement for the rom graphic functions, to speed things up. They're fairly slow. Harry sent me an email saying ok and I wrote it. But when I announced that it was ready, Gillis Kohl said he didn't want anything written in assembly and they didn't use it. So I just assumed there was no assembly in it. I guess it was added later because that began a discussion about using assembly functions. Gillis was afraid it would scare away beginning programmers. Oh well. :) Barry > >>I've never tasted okra but I'm sure I hate it. :) > > ya never know, fried okra is actually pretty good Your prejudice is showing. :) Barry ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2000 10:43:59 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , kopplin@TECHNOIR.NU Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mike Kopplin Subject: Re: HV Code Comments: To: Barry In-Reply-To: <002501c03d0a$59a31080$93fc36d8@oemcomputer> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII > When the PAL project started I didn't realize who it's leader was > and I thought it was Harry Konstas who wrote the package that the > idea for PAL was based on.

I started back a work on my GIF decoder to see if I could help out. Of course in a day or so, Stefan Peichl came out with a GIF dein- terlacer. But I felt I would at least get my program to work on the 200LX. While looking for references I came across my _Old_ copy of Minix. There was an effort a while back to port Minix to the 200LX. If anybody is still working on this, they can have my copy for the shipping cost. It's version 1.5 and (I think) has a complete hard copy listing of all the sources supplied on the 360k floppies. Any Minix coders out there? 2) I now can display GIF's on the 200LX with my program. And I have a much better feeling as to why LXPIC dosen't support transparency and interlaced variants. But, if someone wants to watch an interlaced GIF on the 200LX and doesn't have a real viewer already, I can send my decoder to them. I think I've wasted enough time and effort to convince me to use other people's programs for a long time to come. Thanks again to Stefan for LXPIC. Anybody not using a real picture viewer and want a copy of my not so real one before it goes into hibernation? 3) I bought a Radio Shack display panel sight unseen (out of the catalog) and it uses a parallel interface (rats). Has anyone used a serial to parallel interface of some sort to hook up devices? Has anyone used the LPT port to talk to a non- standard parallel device? Does someone have a tutorial on the new high-speed, bi-directional parallel ports? And, unless there is an easy way to do something with the 200LX, what's the best way to put a display panel shaped hole in a 5 1/4" diskette faceplate? There are 3 control lines and 8 data lines on the panel.

Lithium batteries have a shelf life of 5 years, so your Newton card may be on its last milliamp ... another quirk of lithium cells is that they die quickly as they near the end of their life, in contrast to other types where the voltages taper noticeably before they fall off the power curve and into the low battery warning. - Longden Nathalie Bugeaud on 10/22/2000 08:18:12 PM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to Nathalie Bugeaud To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: SRAM cards >Well, my sram card lasted about a year with its coin cell. my 1mb Newton sram card has had the same coin cell battery since August 1995 and is still not showing a low warning after 5 years! how long are they supposed to last when left inside the LX? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2000 16:56:20 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , sponsor@FTEL.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Meshar Subject: Re: Fluff: DOS emulator for the Palm?

This comment caught my eye. You can get today a free email to Yahoo and be able to access the email on your palmtop via their offering of POP3 and SMTP. All you need to do is open an email account then click on OPTIONS, then MEIL DELIVERY STATUS and choose "Web and POP Access". This will yield you also their advertising emails on a regular basis, but also a POP3/SMTP access. You can then access that POP3 email using WWW/LX for example. They will give you their server names.

Also my problem is not Microsoft Project, even if I use it and since I discovered the HP200 LX I hate notebooks!. It is just that sometimes I do not write just a few quick words but I need to write some notes regarding a task or two and then I find the hp200lx a bit limited (maybe because I have big fingers! eheheheh) I would definitely be ready to integrate the DB format used by pjt2 into another application but then I have a "problem" in uploading back the notes into the original project in the pjt2 application. The author is talking about a pjt1 application just able to merge a CSV into a MDB file. As I am really new to this list I may have missed previous discussions about this or similar issues but I think that if there is a solution to the issue of "sharing" data across different applications, then I think pjt2 is really complete, honestly. bye now -- Luca Campeis ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2000 07:26:15 +0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Oliver Chua Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Oliver Chua Subject: Re: rechargeable batteries Comments: To: "Robert K.

One email client less, when there are a number of options available isn't a terrible loss. But one less LX developer is. It has been a sad year. Rod, Brian and now Steve. Who am I forgetting? Most troubling is that we seem to be losing all the internet related developers. A sad year indeed.

Or, a copy/photocopy of the printed manual? I contacted Steve yester- day morning re: help & registration and apparently he is out of the manuals.. I would sincerely like to utilize this product, having very little space to mount on my LX. Please contact me on or off-list. Quoted from Steve's reply: Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2000 11:34:27 -0700 (PDT) From: support@sdl.continet.com (Goin' Postal Support) I'm sorry, Goin' Postal has been pulled from the market. Registrations have dwindled to the point a reorder of manuals would be a waste of money. Registrations began a steady decline with HPs announcement they were dropping the LX to the point I now receive one every few months. I'm thinking about releasing a freeware or opensource version, though I will need to dedicate some time to make that happen. If you haven't tried it already, POST/LX from DASoft is a very nice commercial email package. End Quote. (note) I attempted to d/l the POST/LX ver listed on Super, and got a 404 page. I have roughly 1meg of space available, for both an email program and the resulting downloaded mail to share. I'm not at this time interested in utilizing my LX for anything beyond email, so while I recognize WWW/LX as a fine product, it surpasses my needs. I checked out a few other email-only programs, and Steve's documentation (so far) is the only documentation my little noodle has a chance with. Please assist. Tom L.

I've had watches and calculators go years without a battery replacement. Without exception, when I did replace the battery, just because it seemed like I should, the device never worked again. It might be that the sram card you have is made better than my old timex watches and casio and radio shack calculators so you might not have that problem. But you should probably think about whether you should replace the battery before it's too late, or if it is already too late. Dillemma time! Maybe you should pray for advice.

I just looked through my old lx downloads and I found HPTEMP, which looks like it might have been his first shot at this. It's a template to write a dos program that looks like an exm. I looked it over a little and it looks like a fairly sophisticated menu system and some lx only stuff like sleep control, zoom, contrast, etc.. I found a later one called HPCLIB written in C that looks a lot more comprehensive. I think that was his upgrade, and if I remember correctly he used this to learn C. I also found a beta of PAL and in the readme Gillis Kohl explains that it is based on the ideas in HPCLIB. So I guess that's it. Why isn't Gillis on this list? Anybody heard from him? By the way I saw Harry Konstas' name mentioned a few weeks ago as a developer on some PDA and I think the topic was that he was switching from that PDA to the Palm, or maybe the other way around.

I have no idea what are they. Playing on a test data base. The 50____ seems to wrap the note to "50" as the right margin which is set in the menu item just below. Changed that to "5" and it wrapped the text at 5 characters when I pressed the 5__ menu item. Then the "D" item seems to remove hard carriage returns (del carriage returns??) It does NOT remove "carriage returns" that were caused by automatic wrapping at the right margin. You have to enter ENTER to make the "D" item work. And it is related to the next items below. You need HARD carriage returns you have manually entered and then the B appears to double space the text in the note (a blank line between lines. The H seems to undo that spacing???? This was a bit of trial and error! (g) and no guarantee! (G) Another window/message box that is untranslated appears if you press Cancel after editing the NOTE box. I guess it asks "cancel: yes/no/cancel" but only a long underline shows - no text explaining if the box means "cancel the cancel (G), or save or NO (don't save) or abandon???

I don't have a yahoo account myself, but lots of other (free) pop3 servers I successfully access with post/lx. Maybe you can post your complete Ýyahoo¨ section (or however you called it) of post.cfg to the list. If you delete your password, no 'secret' information is left, and we can have a look at it. One of my preferred errors is a wrong password. Maybe they just need a nightly program run to activate your mailbox.

Feldman I was going to say your best bet is to patch your copy of MODE.COM to test for version 3.22. Load your 3.2 copy of MODE into DEBUG and use "S" to search for a DOS interrupt "S 100 4000 CD 21". BUT I tried this on the DOS 5.0 version in the 200LX, and no joy. The code apparently relocates itself, and looks as if it is self modifying. If the version 3.22 is simpler, try the debug and look for a "MOV AX,3000" or "MOV AH,30" just before the "INT 21". The function that returns the DOS version is hex 30. But if it is like the DOS 5.0 version, it may very well be version specific.

I look forward to someone else experimenting with this, perhaps using the current drivers that we use for LX apps on desktop machines.

The primary LX based apps that I used (contacts, scheduler, notes) have better built in CE apps that are easier for me to use plus they are significantly faster. In addition, the ability to record voice notes without opening the unit plus drawing sketches have been very useful additions. I find that I use the voice recorder a lot while driving and walking and then when I have a moment to sit down, I transcribe the notes into my "00 Current" note file. I'm observing that there are third party communication tools appearing that allow the units to be used as terminals, but for the moment, the PocketDos environment with dos tools may be a better choice.

Some programs have trouble dealing directly with batch files (which may be why it works when you convert it to .com). You might try this: ZIP=d:\dos\command.com /c c:\batch\unzip2d.bat % which gives control to command.com instead. - Longden |--------+-----------------------> | | Daniel | | | Hertrich | | | | | | | | | 10/25/2000 | | | 08:36 AM | | | Please | | | respond to | | | HPLX Mailing | | | List; Please | | | respond to | | | Daniel | | | Hertrich | | | | |--------+-----------------------> >----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu | | cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) | | Subject: FILER.INI calling Batch files | >----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Hi friends, did anyone ever succeed in calling a batch file by click on a file of a specific type using FILER.INI? I wanted to handle ZIP files this way. I created a batch file UNZIP2D.BAT with the content -- md unzipped cd unzipped unzip %1 pause -- and created an entry in filer.ini ZIP=c:\batch\unzip2d.bat % but everytime I click a ZIP file, the LX hangs and needs a ctrl-sh-on. Sometimes I get a stack overflow. BUT: If I use BATLITE to compile this batch to a .COM and change the entry in filer.ini to use the .COM, it works! FYI: % in FILER.INI contains the whole path of the file, so in the batch, I can say "unzip %1" and it points to the correct file, although I changed the dir before. Any ideas?

LXPIC can only convert to b&w PCX, which is the most effective format for the palmtop converning filesize and speed. BMP is huge, because it is uncompressed and ICN is nonstandard. I guess you want to use LXPIC for icon conversions. Use one of the utilities from SUPER.

They've been really determined for a long time about shutting them down as soon as possible. The original post was actually about getting a HP200LX connection to Compuserve Classic with his HP200LX. As you may remember, I attempted to get a Compuserve Classic account quite a while ago when a copy of ACCIS was offered for sale on this list. To my dismay, I ultimately discovered at that time that Compuserve was refusing to offer new Compuserve Classic accounts. To those who still have Compuserve Classic accounts: Count your lucky stars that you still have access. Please do all you can to fight the closure of those servers. The rest of us can only hope that current subscribers are stubborn enough and voice their objections loud enough to eventually convince Compuserve to not only keep those servers up, but to also reconsider offering new Compuserve Classic subscriptions again. If Compuserve ever decides to start offering new Compuserve Classic subscriptions again, PLEASE let me know ASAP! I would waste no time at all getting an account and looking for a copy of ACCIS again. Cheers!

Therefore the "plain C code" > rule has been created. That's only a problem with inline assembly. An object module written in asm is no different than an object module written in C as far as the compiler/linker is concerned. The only issue would be with PowerC which uses .mix files with a different format for object files but that same issue exists in C and is no problem. I believe PowerC provides a conversion utility. The make file for PAL in PowerC would just run the conversion utility on any .obj files. I'd be surprised (although I haven't looked) if it's not already doing that on something. I can't see any reason why the programmers would even have to know, except that it's nice to tell people what's going on. The only difference they might see is size and speed. It shouldn't have any effect on how the write or compile the program. I'm not trying to make this happen. I don't use PAL. A very good reason for not using asm to optimize it is because it's a lot of work and maybe it isn't worth doing. It works fine as it is for most things. But there are no technical reasons that I can see.

LXPIC "asks" the BIOS for the supported graphics modes and selects the best by default. Later on you may walk through the other available graphics modes with F2 and F3. The Jornada's DOS BIOS or whatever program emulates it seems to answer with CGA as best available graphics mode, and LXPIC displays only b&w under CGA.

Rotating an image would probably either require a large buffer to construct the image (impacting size) or successive reads on the image file (impacting speed). OTOH, turning an image upside down is probably not much different than what LXPIC already did, except to paint the screen from the bottom up. - Longden |--------+-----------------------> | | Domingo | | | Diaz-V | | | | | | | | | 10/25/2000 | | | 08:15 PM | | | Please | | | respond to | | | HPLX Mailing | | | List; Please | | | respond to | | | Domingo | | | Diaz-V | | | | |--------+-----------------------> >----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu | | cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) | | Subject: Re: Lxpic-Question | >----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Not exactly related to the original question, but about LXPIC: Since this program can turn pictures upside down, how difficult would it be to get it to turn pictures sideways?

After I replied to the request, it occurred to me that others on the list might be interested, so I'm sending it along. (The manuals are still available, by the way.) Here is my experience regarding WP5.1 performance on my 200LX. I should mention that my 200LX has both the 32M internal RAM and the double speed upgrades. I've put a pretty minimal installation on board, it takes up just under 1MB in the principal directory. (This uses the wpsmall.drs file instead of wp.drs.) I also have an additional 800kB in a util directory, consisting of printer drivers, keyboard definitions, and mostly the dictionary and thesaurus. Since I use my 200LX in SysMan most of the time, my setup runs under MaxDos called from a macro. It takes about 3 seconds to load. The syntax in the AppMgr is: "c:\utils\maxdos.com c:\prgms\wp51\wp.exe" where "utils" and "prgms\wp51" are the paths to each program. Now for what you really wanted to know: it runs pretty well on my unit. The speed is tolerable for the most part. It is slow to load large documents, but gets there. Working within documents is fine. The display is okay for text editing. The pull down menus can be a bit hard to read, but adjusting the contrast makes it okay. The preview mode is not very good--in normal size type, text is only readable in 200% mode. The full page mode looks like landscape because of the way the 200LX display functions, but is still somewhat useful for getting a general sense of the page layout. Do I use it? Not much. I've become spoiled by readable full page document views with word processing on my 17" desktop monitor, and find the limited view of the document in WP5.1 to be a real bother. For most of the writing I do on my 200LX I use Memo, and then move it to my desktop to format there. (I actually do 95% of my e-mail totally on my 200LX). The main function I use it for is the spell check and the thesarus. Since it's so quick to load, it's easy to look up a word when I need to. It's also nice to be able to take along and be able to pull up work documents when I travel, though this is mostly for reference rather than for editing. One final thought: if I had a single speed 200LX, I don't think I would bother (maybe I should have said this up front!). Anyway, hope these ramblngs are helpful. Ted -- Theodore W.

The PIM program I'm referring to is one that others here have looked at in the past and called "ugly", but I've used it for about 3 years now on my desktop machine to organize and automatically journal almost all of my activities. It's worked wonders for me and it's Journal (a freeform database), search and report format features offer instant real time access to anything or any list of things I've ever journaled, in an organized format that I choose. It's basic functions will run on an XT desktop, but it's advanced features (such as it's optional Blowfish encryption) require a 386. It will run on my HP200LX, but it unfortunately it runs too slowly on it to be of much practical use on my palmtop.

If Rondel in Germany can somehow manage to get a currently active (but currently unused) Compuserve Classic subscription transferred to me, that software could be very useful for my desktop or laptop computer. Current Compuserve Classic subscribers may find that information useful, but (to answer the original question from the original post) it would be generally of no use to those who don't already have a Compuserve Classic subscription. For quite some time now, Compuserve has refused to offer new member access to the remaining Compuserve Classic server(s). Due to that policy, they have also refused to accept new subscriptions to Compuserve Classic. Cheers!

It's too bad that development of the program was ended precipitously. (Serge K. did a marvelous job with the resource editor.) I would have liked to see GDBwn handle .ADB files and perhaps .WDB files. It sure makes data entry and editing a snap. And there's no need for conversion since the same data files will work on both the desktop and Ptop. There are a few dialog boxes where something is apparently supposed to happen but the code for doing so is missing. I don't know why the fonts in the data card view are so 'mushy'.

DECSYSTEM 10 and DECSYSTEM 20 were names applied to the later PDP-10 processors depending on whether they were sold with TOPS-10 or TOPS-20 as the operating system. They also had different color schemes. PDP-8s are 12-bit computers, PDP-11s are 16-bit computers. VAXen are 32-bit, which has something to do with the "you're not playing with a full DEC" quote. Comments on size are about right. I spent most of Sunday helping a friend unload a DECSYSTEM 20 (KL10 processor) system from a truck into his storage. The processor, memory, front-end, and power supply are in three cabinets which I think are 42" wide by 30" deep by about 60" tall; I think all three of these are intended to be bolted together when installed. -Frank McConnell ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2000 21:05:42 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: FILER.INI calling Batch files >Another question: Is it possible to cut off a number of characters >from an argument given to a batch file? >I'd like to let the batch crate a directory with the same name as >the ZIP file, but without the file extension.

But what > happened to the other stuff???? All the built in apps keep their brains in files in the C:\_DAT\ subdirectory. You need to restore the files in that directory in order for all the HP apps to return to normal. When the LX starts up, as if it were 'new', it'll create the directory and many of the files but they won't have your data in them. From the built in apps point of view C:\_DAT\ is the most important directory in the system (along with the root directory). Whatever you back up, it is always a good idea to backup these two directories. Cheers...

This email is being sent via Compuserve Classic. The only issue was that it STILL is available to the public. Compuserve offers it because the new 2000 version does not support Windows 3.1. The software 2.6x IS available on CompuServe.com if you know where to look. As a matter of fact, Post/LX works so well with Compuserve classic, that I just upgraded my account to unlimited, just so I could use it exclusively with Post/LX. And just for grins, I dug up the old DOS CIM (which you mention). It's available on Compuserve in one of the forums. I've even set up TapCIS again!

Thanks for bringing out the latest information on Compuserve Classic access, Larry. Since your post, I looked into it again, too. Unlike a year ago, they said that they are indeed offering new Compuserve Classic accounts again. :-) They mentioned they had discovered that their airline customers could only use Compuserve Classic, so it appears that their airline customers (and maybe others) were instrumental in getting Compuserve to offer new Compuserve Classic accounts again. :-) So, thanks to all who have fought the closure of Compuserve Classic servers in the last year, Compuserve is now offering new Compuserve Classic accounts again. Hopefully Compuserve will reconsider the next time they start thinking about closing down those servers. :-) BTW, Compuserve is now running a special promotion offering a Compuserve 2000/AOL bundle for $29.95/mo. The same bundle is not being offered to AOL subscribers wanting a Compuserve account, but AOL members could give up their current AOL account and then get a Compuserve 2000 account bundled with a whole new AOL account with a different screen name, directly from Compuserve. Both services will be accessible from the same special access software. However, they are not offering Compuserve Classic in that package deal. Cheers!

That's true, but you will need a bunch of different object modules - = usually one for each compiler. With plain C, you only need one source file for any compiler. The main point, as far as I remember, was to support as many compilers as possible with the least effort, and that could only be done by avoiding assembler.

That would only be true if you used non-standard functions in the C compiler from asm. Other than that All the compilers except PowerC can use the same object modules. Unless there is a compiler being used I've forgotten. I do know that Turbo C and Quick C and MS C can all read the same object modules. You can even use the same linker on all 3, but that isn't really necessary. The odd one is PowerC but as I said there is a utility included to convert .obj modules to .mix modules and that can be run by the makefile and the user need know nothing about it. The only extra difficulty in the design of PAL is in putting together the make file and the difference is trivial. And that would be done before the user downloaded PAL. I just looked and I see you also have a Symantec compiler and some compiler other that I'm not familiar with. Both use .obj files and if I remember correctly (I'm not certain that I do) Symantec uses MS compatible .obj files. I don't know about the other compiler. In any case, it should be trivial to deal with it without the user having to be concerned. The user I'm talking about is the inexperienced programmer. Again, I'm not advocating that anyone do this. I just don't see any technical problems. If some group was formed to do it, I'd give a little time to it, but not a lot. That's probably why it won't happen. Most people are probably pretty happy with PAL as it is and can't justify the time spent. The average user of PAL probably isn't writing very large programs anyway. And the professionaly users can find a way to pack more in their programs if they really want to. There are always far functions and overlays. The first computer I ever wrote for (in school) was an 8k IBM 360 mod 20 and the first rule we learned is there's always enough ram for anything you want to do. You just have to find a way. One of the programs we had to write couldn't be done in available memory (I think we had about 5k usable). That was before there was such a thing as a linker that supported overlays. We just wrote overlay handlers into the program. I don't think anybody in the class failed to make this work, although some were pretty slow. To make it run fast you had to have the record processing loop in ram all at the same time and that was the real challange.

Design your own font. In text mode it'll look a little sqaushed but it'll work. You'll also need to write your own print command to handle it. In graphics mode you have more control and won't necessarily get a squashed effect. You'll still need your own driver if you're going to print real time. But if you have a map and you just want to put some vertical text on it, a lot of graphic programs will draw it for you. If your graphics program doesn't support vertical text, draw it horizontally and rotate it 90 degrees. Nearly every graphic program will do that. Windows Paint, for example.

Since you mentioned adjusting the system settings for DOS memory, you're probably trying to execute inside the System Manager (sort of like Windows).

Maybe you can post your complete Ýyahoo¨ section (or however you called it) of post.cfg to the list. If you delete your password, no 'secret' information is left, and we can have a look at it.

Someone suggested terminating the system manager but a slightly cleaner alternative is to remove the last line from the autoexec.bat file which says 200 and takes you into the system manager. I can't remember offhand if there's a copy of the autoexec.bat in C: or if it uses one in D:. If it's D:, that's really rom and you'll have to copy it to C: and create a config.sys. During boot it looks for config.sys and then uses the autoexec.bat it finds in the same place. When this is done, reboot and it'll give you a fresh Dos unaltered by the system manager. This won't help with the colors but it gives you a slightly cleaner system and a few things have worked that way that haven't worked after terminating system manager. I think there are 2 of those little Sharp PC's. One is a 386 and one is an 8088 or maybe a Nec V20. The 80186 in the 200lx will run anything the 8088 or V20 will run and the general compatibility of the 200lx is very good. If the Sharp in the picture you saw is a 386 and it uses 386 opcodes the 200lx won't do it. But I suspect that if that was the case you wouldn't have gotten as far as you did. The programs to help with CGA colors were mentioned in other posts but sometimes it's possible to make it work without that by altering the contrast (on + and on -) or reversing the screen (alt /) or changing the gray scale representation (alt *), or some combination of these. I have a couple of things in color that I do that with and they're just fine. Other things don't work out well at all.

Well, if it's a QuickBasic program (which reported errors in that fashion) then error code 3 is "RETURN without GOSUB" and what can cause that I have no idea (except poor programming practices of course). It might not be a QuickBasic program - other (Microsoft?) compilers might use the same reporting mechanism. I will have to see the executable to be sure.

In order to access some files on my HP 200LX through Connectivity Pack (LapLink Remote) from Windows 3.11 applications Excel and Word, I needed to activate the SHARE.EXE on the 200LX. This works fine now, no more complaints from Excel or Word about a missing SHARE.EXE or problems to open or save a remote file. However, having the SHARE.EXE active on the 200LX generated a new problem: if I run a backup from the Connectivity Pack (which calls 200BACK.BAT) the backup stops with a message "cannot copy xxx to yyy" after about 35 files. This is related to the active SHARE.EXE on the 200LX. Changing SHARE parms does not help. I found that the number of files after which the backup stops relates to the FILES statement in the clients AUTOEXEC.BAT (where CPACK runs). If FILES=40 the backup stops after about 35 files. IF FILES=80 the backup stops after about 75 files. I assume a few (5) are in use by STDIN, STDOUT, or whatever is active. Analysing the 200BACK.BAT files shows that the real backup work is done by a DOS program DOSBACK.EXE. (It assumes the environment variable UN_LLRA=0, which shows the LLRA link is up. Its only parameter is an exclamation mark. Without it it tells me it wants to run from within the 200BACK.BAT.) I cannot see a reason for this interrelation between the SHARE.EXE and the FILES= parameter. To my knowledge SHARE maintains two tables for locks and open files, and FILES declares the number of files DOS can open at one time. I cannot beleave that DOSBACK.EXE keeps all files open that it intends to back up. It could be hundreds from different A: and C: directories, which would anyhow extend the max. for FILES. Who can inspire me with her or his throughts about this? I would like both, SHARE and a working CPACK backup. I appreciate any help.

Yes, I gathered this much as it's the same on my Ericsson MC218 (Psion 5mx = in drag.) However, this is not the problem. I haven't even attempted to connect the = LX to the radio yet. There isn't much point before I've got the software = working. What I meant was that the problem (with RTTY) may possibly be that = the software is unable to access the RS-232 in the LX. The radio connection is just two wires, ground and data in, no handshake or = anything like that, so a malfunction, or faulty wiring on the radio end = would not cause the software to hang (,but there wouldn't be any signal of = course.) There is a small circuit built into the radio which I believe = consists of an OP-amp and a couple of other bits. Many years ago I built a = similar circuit for another radio, other software and another computer, but = had no success at the time, probably because that radio wasn't up to it. To recap: WEFAX program: If I run it on C: it displays the menu, then tells me there is insufficient = disk space. I have 1391616 bytes free on C:. If I run it on A: or E: (80Mb CF card borrowed from my camera) it only = displays the backgrounds for the menu, probably because it's unable to find = the files containing the menu.

What you want to do, is not possible, because you cannot edit a file and have a LXPRO window open at the same time. You first have to exit from LXPRO before you may continue editing.

I haven't quite figured out how long it needs to charge before getting its maximum number of discharge hours. I do know what the Swedish Railway went to (the Jornada) because I bumped into the website while trying to find a Windows Driver for the card. Anyway... I discovered that my last back up didn't contain the latest data. I have an EXP card with 8 meg of memory. I did a back up about a year ago, and I did a back up (to the same place on the card) about 6 months ago. The data on the card is mainly from the year old back up. I was certain that I told the back up to overwrite all the data. Perhaps not. I was wondering, what is the best way to get a perfect back up of everything? Perhaps you folks who do more copious back ups could tell us your method. Thanks ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

I have a 48mb Sandisk CF card and have organized the directories so that most of my "user data" is in one area, so I zip that entire directory into a file in a "backup" directory on the CF card. Then the nightly backup zips the entire internal drive (I have a 6mb LX with about 2mb used on C:) into another zip file in the backup directory. In the event of a major crash or a hard reset, I can (and have) always recover the C drive from the night before. And whenever I get the notion, I pop the 48mb CF card into my 800CT Omnibook's card slot and run zip there too, to make a copy of the entire card (about 36mb). Takes about 30 secs to a minute. I had considered doing a daily network backup of my LX to the server at work, with complete incremental backup and recovery, but cringed at the thought of throwing my personal data on a publicly accessed media (privacy and corporate use issues). This scheme works for me, but I'm sure there are other methods that work better depending on your needs and resources. Whatever backup method you devise, remember that ALWAYS, the last step is to simulate an actual disaster and use your method to recover. Better to find the bugs in your scheme now than later. - Longden << I was wondering, what is the best way to get a perfect back up of everything?

Perhaps you folks who do more copious back ups could tell us > your method. Probably the best backup is a complete image backup but it is slow. To make one insert an EMPTY flash disk (big enough to hold all your files) in the LX. Next quit all open application. Finally from a DOS prompt type: xcopy c:\*.* a:\ /s/e/v This will copy ALL non-System and non-Hidden files to the flash disk and preserve your subdirectories. You can update the backup with this commmand: xcopy c:\*.* a:\ /s/m/v This will backup new and changed files but it won't deal with removed files that only exist on the backup. I generally do an image backup and then a couple of update backups before doing another image backup. It's almost impossible to backup too often but I would say one month is too long and 6 months is out of the question. It's your data though so only you can put a price on losing it. Cheers...

It didn't help, but the fact that it didn't lead me to the source of the = problem. On the Toshiba and on C: on the LX, I had put Tarfax in = "\WEATHER". On the CF I had it in "\HP200LX\WEATHER". The problem wasn't = the drive letter, but the directory. However, the programs still don't work. RTTY still displyas it's reception = screen and then hangs, and WEFAX now comes up with the menu without the = disk space error message, but going to the reception screen displays a = blank screen. I can, however, exit cleanly from the reception screen with = "ESC" (which doesn't work in RTTY). I'm starting to suspect that maybe WEFAX runs in VGA mode, in which case = I'll have to look for some other (older) Weatherfax program, providing I = can find one that works with my radio. I think the only problem with RTTY = now may be that it for some reason fails to access the RS232. While I have your attention...

All the keyboard buffer expanders that I have tried work on the 200LX. The problem is that you have to load it within the first 64K of DOS memory or none of them will work. I preferred kbuf128.sys for many years myself until I added a 64 key buffer to my speed upgrade driver as an option. Try making kbuf128.sys the first driver to load in your CONFIG.SYS.
