I keep a backup of my C: drive on the A: drive (a compact flash card) and when backup time comes I update it with pkzip, remove the card and insert it in my PC reader and copy it to a folder on the pc and to a Zip disk. Before I had a compact flash reader on my desktop I did the same thing with my laptop. This whole procedure takes about 2 minutes and it backs up everything. It's also a simple matter to keep the last several backups just in case.

I just lost an appointment file by corruption for one too many times. Thanks to the great dbcheck I got the file cleaned up, but really must do an automatic daily backup. >> The process is mainly to assign a program to run using the appt app late at night, and this is simple enough to do with a batch file that pkzips all your data into a backup on the flash card (or on a network if you regularly leave it connected). The main gotcha is that you should close all apps before running the backup, otherwise you may not be getting a copy of the latest updated information. Doing this manually (closing the apps) is obviously trivial, but a bit more convoluted using automation and built-in features. My backup is primarily handled by a batch file (bak.bat) that pkzips my entire C drive to a zip file on the flash card, and also archives selected data areas on the zip card. The batch file also deletes and recreates my c:\tmp directory (kind of like emptying the trash). An entry in the Appt app is set to trigger at 1am, which starts a system macro (#7 for me) which closes all apps and then starts the batch file. The Appt entry is a recurring appointment: << Description: ||7 Close Apps & backup Start time: 1:00am Location: Q Alarm: (enabled) Leadtime: 0 >> The double vertical bar is needed for invoking system macros. The system macro (#7) is: << {Filer}{Filer}{More}{Menu}{Enter}L{More}L >> The double {Filer} entry is needed if you use the trick that normally closes Filer. It turned out that if Filer was closed when the macro ran, then "Close all" would somehow fail. The first "L" is the "Close all". The 2nd "L" refers to an icon in App Mgr, which I call "LX-Backup" ... ("L" is the hotkey) and this icon is setup as follows: << Name: &LX-Backup Path: a:\utl\maxdos.com a:\utl\bak.bat | Comments: (inverted ?) >> I had tried invoking the batch file directly from the macro with no success ... I forget the details, but I believe it just quits when invoking a program. In case a full restore is needed on the C drive (internal), I normally run a batch file (on my flash card, of course) called zero_c.bat which does: << c: cd \ deltree /y c:\ >> and then run a batch file called restore_c.bat: << rem run cmd from drive c rem first restore all files a:\utl\pkunzip -d -Jhrs -o a:\_bak\cdrive.zip *.* rem now bebuild emm swap area. 64 16k blocks=1mb a:\utl\instemm 64 >> Both of the above are simple enough that batch files are hardly needed, but I've found that when disaster strikes, the simplest recovery scheme is the least frustrating. The backup batch file is shown below ... I'll explain it if anyone has questions, it's just too painful otherwise. << @echo off rem the following pkzip cmds to backup requires about 256k to work pkzip -a+ a:\_bak\_dat.zip a:\_dat\appt.adb pkzip -i a:\_bak\_dat.zip a:\_dat\*.* pkzip -i a:\_bak\data.zip a:\data\*.* xcopy a:\quicken\qdata.pdt a:\_bak /m rem rem (flush out the tmp directory before backing up) rem del a:\_bak\cdrive.zip deltree /y c:\tmp md c:\tmp rem rem zip the c drive: Rem -rp recurse directories and store the pathnames rem -es use Superfast mode rem -whs include hidden/system files rem -Jhrs don't mask hidden/system/RO files rem (exclude the tremm.swp swap file) rem pkzip -rp -es -whs -Jhrs -xtremm.swp a:\_bak\cdrive c:\*.* >> -- Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 1 Nov 2000 09:34:24 -0600 Reply-To: Chris Lott Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Chris Lott Subject: Re: ORCAD V4.42 for DOS In-Reply-To: from "Joseph Buford" at Nov 01, 2000 07:25:28 AM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > Does anyone know if OrCad v4.42 DOS will run on the 200lx? > I found a copy, with manuals, of OrCad v4.42 DOS, ESP Design Environment > v4.33 DOS, SDT Release IV Schematic Design Tools v4.20. > The Manual says that it will run on an XT. > Any info on space req., speed etc. appreciated.

If it is, then beware. It is not y2k compliant. Running the exe will set your system date all the way back in the bios on both the LX and the other machines I tried it on. I couldn't find a work around. The program is unusable unless you enjoy changing the system date every time you finish with it. I use WordPerfect 5.1 for outlining on the LX and then import into WP 6.1-DOS on the laptop. 6.1 has a really powerful outliner that can be worked without reaching for the mouse. 5.1's is basic, but useful.

I think mine was $69 but I'm not sure. I think they've gone down to about $49 but again, I'm not sure. Mine is USB. I think they also come in parallel models. They did when I got mine. They're all over the place. Recently I've seen what looks like a new model, smaller and flatter. Mine is shaped like half an egg. I'm not sure if the flatter ones are different or just the new model. I still see both, often in the same store. I've also seen them on the web in a number of places. I'm sure I've seen them at CDW and at Sandisk's own site. By the way, I was at Sandisk's site following a link to check compatibility for a compact flash card at Yahoo auctions, and I noticed they no longer mention that it's 200lx compatible. It does mention all the WinCE HP's and others, so I'm sure it is, but I guess they didn't think it was worth mentioning anymore.

I don't understand what you're saying. Would you exlpain what you're trying to do in more detail. I'm not sure what "set, execute and reset" mean. I can see setting the keyboard buffer to a different size/location, and resetting it back to what it was. Is that what you're referring to? What do you mean by "execute"? Are you turning off interrupts when you move the buffer pointers? Are you handling the head and tail pointer correctly? These are a couple of areas to check for problems. There's another approach that works in some cases, rather than moving the buffer. It's fairly easy to write a TSR that watches the timer and slowly pumps text into the keyboard buffer, waiting if the buffer is full. It's also easy to pass text to the tsr from another program, if you are writing the other program. If you aren't it's easy to write a program that passes the text to the tsr and then runs the other program. In this case you make the tsr delay as long as needed to let the other program load before it begins stuffing the buffer. You can even have it watch for certain things to appear on the screen before it activates. This is a fairly simple TSR because it doesn't have to pop up. It's really more like an ISR. It does take some familiarity with interrupt level programming. If you think this might be useful, send me a private email and in the reply I can send you a couple of samples that do things similar to both techniques, both in C and asm.

Jpg's can be converted to bmp's or png's or whatever is easiest. Jpg and mp3 files are data. They're never executed. They never have control of the cpu or anything else.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I'm trying to get a vCalendar v1.0 output from my Appointment Book. I'm trying to use it to send appointments to my Nokia 7110 (by using IR.EXE), but ADB2VCAL outputs vCalendar v2.0 files out. I've tried making a macro, but I can't seem to format the start date/time correctly, ie: DTSTART:YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS where YYYY = year MM = month DD= day HH = hour MM = minute SS = second ie 2 Jan 2001 1:15pm = DTSTART:20010102T131500 Also, the way repeating rules are written in vCalendar v1.0 isn't as complex, since it requires: RRULE:W1 #0 (Once every week) RRULE:D1 #0 (Once every day) etc. Does have any suggestions for creating such a complex macro? Or would it be possible for me to get the source of ADB2VCAL and modify it? Or would Andreas like to do it? Ideally, I'd like to be able to export a single particular appointment, and just send that to my Nokia 7110, or my entire appointment book. Perhaps, we can add a couple of parameters to ADB2VCAL? -version -date -appointment Otherwise, has anyone had any luck sending vCalendar files to Nokia Phones, using the Appointment Book? I know PIM/LX outputs vCal, but is that compatible with the Nokia 7110?

Thank you !! Exactly what I need to accomplish my new appointment-driven nightly backup! :-) BTW another idea: I set up my nihgtly backup this way, that it creates every other day a backup called a.zip and every "other other" day a backup called b.zip. (Monday: a.zip, Tuesday: b.zip, Wednesday: a.zip, Thursday: b.zip....) I do this by creating two different appointments that call the backup.bat with parameter a and the other day with parameter b. Everytime it creates a new backup, it deletes the old one with the same name. So I can be sure that I everytime have a backup available, even if one nightly backup failed for any reason.

In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi all, Trying to make my LX into a "speed demon" again . My Post/LX, etc. (the whole package) hadn't been "talking" to the modem, etc. Been working w/ Avi and reinstalled all (my own idea, his idea was going to be easier )... It works fine w/ my older 14.4 "Creative Labs" PC-Card modem, but doesn't work with the newer, Thaddeus bought, 56K, low-power modem, many members on the list have used. I made it work before(!) using the recommended "init." string with it but in (perhaps) an unusual way. They recommend the init. string of: ATW2537=29DT The first time I tried this (back when I got the modem) in the "Modem Init" field of "wwwsetup" and got dial tone too soon. So, I "moved" that string to the "Dial" field and it worked fine, as long as I added the dial-up number at the end of the string (I figured it interpreted the "DT" as "dial tone" and dialed out, no matter where the string was. I left the "AT&F" in the "Modem Init" field and that seemed OK. Now, trying the same technique doesn't work.....maybe I've forgotten a step. Anyone else on the list using WWW and Post -/LX and the low-power, 56K modem? If you look at the setup screen in wwwsetup, what do you have in the "Modem Init" and "Dial" fields? TIA, --tim PS. I'll "accept" lines from your .cfg files, just trying to use the setup interface to keep from accidentally messing things up. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 4 Nov 2000 21:22:34 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Klaus Reinhardt Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Klaus Reinhardt Subject: Can 'filer.ini' save dirs?

I'm glad that I have piqued the curiosity of at least a few people. First of all let me state that I am a Christian. I'm probably not the best example of a Christian and constantly struggle to 'do the right thing.' I know that there are many things for which I will have to answer on judgement day but at least I'm trying. I am a normal guy with a wife and two kids. I am a blue collar guy who works for a living. I am not some freak who lives on the fringes of society but I am what many would consider to be 'right wing'. I believe in God, Jesus Christ and my rights as an American and as a human being. I know a couple of you are not Americans, but the events that are occuring all around us affect all of us in the global community. I truly believe that the is a worldwide conspiracy involving factions of the U.S. goverment and other world goverments to form a global alliance which many of us call the New World Order. Heck, it's even printed on our U.S. Currency. I believe that the Bible, speaks of these events and that it is up to people like me to warn others of the impending dangers which we face. I have thought long and hard what to say to you guys and where to point you for information. I belong to a mailing list called TheWatchmen. We are a group of Christians and we discuss the many conspiracy theories which seem to be so numerous in today's society. I would like to extend an invitation to each of you to join the mailing list, Bob Myers of the hplx-l list is already a member. Tom Hoover, I believe you would make an excellent member because God has already chosen you by giving you the talents to create the HisWord software so that others may be able to experience His teachings in a 'high tech' manner. Neil & Chris, we would welcome your insights since you live under a different goverment than those of us on The Watchmen list. I must forewarn all of you, that on this list we are not afraid of expressing our faith in God and there is a lot of information which many of the more knowledgeable members present that you may consider to be radical. Many of these discussions are about things such as the Waco incident and other events such as this. Everything we discuss are things that the liberal media will not dare report and all things we talk about we do so that we may become better informed and spread the Lord's word when the Goverment tells people things which are unholy and possibly done in Satan's name. If any of you are interested in joing the mailing list, I would be happy to send you an electronic invitation. I am sicere when I say, that if you are a Christian and if you are concerned with the current state of affairs in today's society we would love to have you. I truly feel as if the Lord is using me in a manner to spread His word and to warn others of the evils being spread by the evil factions of the soon to be worldwide goverment. I encourage all of you to read Numbers 10:9, I have somewhat taken this verso to be my personal motto as I try to warn others. I used to worry about what others might think of my strong biblical beliefs and some of the fears that I have. I no longer care because I believe in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and I believe that as long as I spread His word, I will be protected Him and His love. I appreciate the time that you have taken to read this letter. I do truly believe that because all of you took the time to ask about my beliefs that the Lord has somwhat spoken to each of you. Some of you may think that sounds crazy, but if you will just allow yourself to listen, it is amazing what the Lord will both show and tell you. May God bless you all and I once again would welcome you to join TheWatchmen and educate yourselves in the ways in which Satan is trying to infiltrate our everyday lives through the New World Order which is being forced upon all of us.

I wrote a little utility (5k) a while ago that does just what you need I think. I used it to warn me if my batteries were low before dialing up with a modem. Called with no arguments, it returns the main battery voltage as a whole number, i.e. 2.43V will be displayed as 243 If you specify a voltage as an argument (again a whole number), it returns 0 for the errorlevel if the battery voltage is equal or greater than the argument, and returns 1 if the battery voltage is lower. In a batch file it can be used something like this REM Want at least 2.40V battchk 240 if errorlevel 1 goto toolow REM do stuff ... goto end :toolow echo Batteries too low :end If you're interested, let me know and I'll send it.

Terry (and others with similar feelings), Sometimes the noise on this list exceeds the useful information. We have already lost two important guys to this community Andres (who is really gone) and Avi (who now lurks as you and I do, and only answers in bulk.) It would be a shame to lose more of us, because then what is the point of the list. However, just before you sign off, there are a few alternatives: 1. Set your membership to filter out the FLUFF messages. Al has graciously set it up so that is possible. The folks on the list don't always cooperate but generally they are good about putting the word fluff in the subject line. 2. Set up a separate email account to receive the list. I have personally chosen this method, and it cut down my frustration level tremendously. I set it up with Juno, because of how easily the messages can be deleted. 3. Don't even read the mail from certain senders. As you are on the list for a time the ones to delete without reading get more and more obvious. Please don't leave without first trying one or more of the above. The list is really full of wonderful people, but as with any family a few of the more alpha types tend to dominate. It is always best to just pat them on the head, pretend to understand what they are saying and move on. |¬¬¬¬¬| Colossians 3:23 (@ @) Rev William K Schultz | /\ | Resurrection Lutheran Church, LCMS |_ --_| 2495 Cabrillo Ave, Santa Clara Ca 95051 | | (408) 241-2728 ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

As I contemplate the posibility of going back to unattented backups (currently I use a batch file, but i watch the whole time) I wonder if anyone knows of any utility which allows one to check quickly for ANY file with the Archive bit on. Xcopy does this slowly file by file, but since it iterates back and forth with the batch file, the process is a bit slow. Ditto for pkzip. I would like a way to check all my data files in one fell swoop, very quickly, and if no files are changed, abort the backup, thus saving time. i am thinking of the speed with which the ATTRIB program does its thing. A program that only checks for changes should be just as fast, I think. Any thoughts?

The list is valuable. I would highly advise you to stay and get very comfortable with your DELETE key or whatever function allows you to quickly kill off an email that you don't want. Clearly, a few weeks ago, it got pretty hot but there was still go information flowing (even if I did not care about Big Iron Old computers!

Maybe this is interesting for someone here. Regards -- Martin Bergvill , Narvik Norway --- begin of forwarded message --- Date: 3 Nov 2000 08:14:36 -0000 From: PayPal Newsletter Subject: PayPal is Now Available for International Users To: PayPal Now International! ========================= A businessman in Rio de Janeiro needs to send money to his family in Seoul. No problem. A web surfer in Venice, Italy, wants to buy an item from an auction seller in Venice, California. Thanks to PayPal, it's as easy as email. People from 26 countries around the world can now send and receive money online with PayPal. PayPal is already the #1 online payments service in the US -- over 4 million users have signed up since we launched our service one year ago. And now users from all over the globe will be able to take advantage of the world's fastest, easiest, and safest way to move money. It's simple to sign up for an international PayPal account. Just complete a brief registration form, confirm your email address, and add a credit or debit card to fund your payments. Registration is completely free, and all transactions are conducted in US dollars. PayPal is faster than mailing a cashier's check, and much cheaper than sending an expensive money wire. Also, all PayPal users in the US have automatically had their accounts upgraded to be 100% compatible with international users. Residents in the following countries are now eligible for PayPal accounts: Australia Mexico Austria Netherlands Belgium New Zealand Brazil Norway Canada Portugal Denmark Singapore France South Africa Germany South Korea Hong Kong Spain Ireland Sweden Israel Switzerland Italy United Kingdom Japan Whether you're online with a personal computer or on the go with a Web-enabled cell phone, PayPal gives you the power to send payments to just about anyone in the world. PayPal is already accepted for purchases on over 2.5 million auctions on eBay(tm) and on hundreds of sites all over the Internet. And with our advanced security technology keeping your money safe, PayPal isn't just the easiest way to send money around the globe, it's also the most secure. PayPal is available for both international consumers and businesses -- just register for the type of account that's right for you. To complete the simple international registration process, just fill out our short registration form that includes your name, address, and email: https://secure.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_international-register A confirmation link will be sent to your email address; by clicking on the link and confirming your password at the PayPal website, you will enable others to send money to you at this email address. Finally, you'll be asked to register either a credit card or debit card to fund your payments. PayPal will then send two credits to your card (at our expense) that are labeled with unique PayPal merchant number identifiers; when you call your card company to learn the number identifiers of these debits and enter them on our website, it proves to us that you are the card's owner and we will allow you to start making payments using your card. If you have any questions about PayPal's new international service or registration process, please be sure to visit our online International Help Center for more information: http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/hlp/help_global_intl-outside Thank you for your interest in PayPal's international service, the fastest, easiest, and safest way to send money in the world! ------------------------------------- You received this announcement because you previously requested information regarding international availability of the PayPal service at our website, www.PayPal.com.

I have run into activist atheists before on the Internet before, but never on this list, until now. To me this is a deliberate attempt at fanning the antireligious feelings on the list in order to prove a point. The two annoyed (but misguided) responses prove what she intended, as far as I am concerned. Those of us who respect the feelings of the list have managed to tone down the subject of religion, so what you wrote before about her knowing what buttons to push speaks volumes. I hope it doesn't go any further . . . I guess it is obvious that I do believe in a certain amount of conspiracy theory. :-| Domingo ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2000 18:37:30 +0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Oliver Chua Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Oliver Chua Subject: OT: Winfax Pro V3.0 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Can someone help me?

SanDisk has an HP FAQ at http://www.sandisk.com/support/main_technical_support.html. Because the 95LX has DOS 3.22, the maximum size would be 32MB (even with Stacker), unless there is a way to partition the card into several drives. I have just purchased a flash card from Scott, but haven't gotten it yet. I will let you know how it works in my 95LX as soon as I have a chance to test it. I have heard, though, that you need to remove flash cards from the 95LX when not in use, or the battery will drain. More on that when I have a chance to do some testing.

As most of you are aware there is a problem with the HP 200LX hinge which results in the cracking of the top case, the side that has the HP logo. It turned out that a significant percentage of the units we received from Holland have at least a hairline crack. In the meantime over half the repairs we do involve replacing the cracked case. Fortunately, HP is willing to send us the mold -- otherwise, manufacturing the case would have been prohibitively expensive. I have asked for an Asia manufacturer HP would recommend, but they seem to want me to handle it in the U.S. Here is what they emailed me: "We are pleased to ship you the mold. The mold will be prepared for shipment, greased and properly crated together with any relevant inserts. Some servicing may be required at your molding vendor to deploy the mold." The problem is we have never worked with a molding vendor. We want to work with someone that we can be sure offers us quality, fair pricing, and a reasonable turn-around time. Does anyone on the list know of a good vendor or where to start looking. THANK YOU.

I compiled the function as a standalone program and tested it before posting earlier. It does return 1 if SysMgr is loaded (from a DOS shell), and 0 if it isn't. So maybe there is a problem in your interpretation. I don't have the source at the moment, but I believe IntVector was a far pointer to far pointer to char, so make sure you are looking at the right spot for differences.

Hi Klaus, I think you're looking too low. These are interrupt vectors or far pointers, so 4 bytes long. In lxref I found System Manager Services uses 7E and 7F for all services, so the tests in the source code make sense. Multiplying by 4 I get 1F8 and 1FC. Using debug to look at the interrupt table I find: Plain DOS: 0000:01F8 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 200 DOS: 0000:01F8 68 37 B5 14 6D 24 B5 14 In plain DOS the vectors are both null, so SYSMGR is not loaded. I don't know what the test against CF would be for in the checksm.c source. When the system manager is exited, the above vectors are both cleared. Hope this helps, Mike ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 7 Nov 2000 03:07:11 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Laust Brock-Nannestad Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Laust Brock-Nannestad Subject: Re: What's the CPU?

The 186 also supports some additional instructions compared to the 8086, which can give better performance (assuming the program was written to support the 186/286 of course!).

The slots in the end caps would have to be widened to accommodate the change, but that's easy. Fortunately, adding material to the cover means removing material from the mold tooling, which is also easy. Such a change would erase the crack problem for good. The tooling or a drawing of it would have to be examined to make sure there's no complicating factor I'm overlooking, though. Esthetics would be slightly worse, as the line formed by the edge of the cylindrical portion of the cover would be interrupted in the area of the end caps. This seems to me a small price to pay for permanent elimination of the problem. HP jettisoned good engineering practice in favor of style, I'm afraid. Having said that, though, I'm impressed that HP is willing to part with the tooling. Hal, if you can get me a photo or a drawing of the tool and tell me what specific material the cover is made from, I may be able to help you select a vendor. I'm in Southern California and there are many potential vendors here, but you may prefer to use one near you. I can't be as much help in the latter case, but I can work at a distance if you can't find local help.

Even 0.5% difference may not be tolerable. As far as fixing the hinge crack, it is probably caused by "flow lines" in the plastic. If you alter it ie make thicker then you risk causing a weakness somewhere else in the product. A rework with a new injection point on right hinge would solve the best if feasible. Depends on the mold design. As an alternative once you have the mold you "may" be able to use the mold to pressure die cast in aluminium or zink. WAY KEWL.. at only a small premium to plastic case.

Morgan wrote: > Now, if some nice programmer out there would write a little utility that > converts jpegs from other sources to the special jpeg format the Nikon > uses, I'd be a very happy camper! to get an idea, which JPEG format Nikon uses, you should display an image with LXPIC and then press the 'f' key to get the file information. On the 3rd line of the file information box you will find, which JPEG compression is used in this file. It should be something like S0_411 or S0_111. Anyway, if the JPEG you created by a graphics software uses another compression, it is likely, that the built in software of the camera cannot handle it. Some graphics software allows you to select JPEG parameters used for "...saving as JPEG". Good software allows the selection of -compression method -compression ratio -sampling rate -chromatic weighting In my LXPIC notation, the first 2 characters represent the compression method: S0 = SOF0 (baseline DCT) S1 = SOF1 (extended sequential DCT) S2 = SOF2 (progressive DCT) S3 = SOF3 (sequential lossless) the last three numbers represent the color space, sampling rate and chromatic weighting: 411 = 3 components with chrominace subsampling: Four times more luminance values than Cb and Cr values 421 = 3 components with chrominace subsampling: Four times more luminance values than Cr and twice as much Cb than Cr values 111 = 3 components with no subsampling: Y, Cb, Cr 100 = only one luminance component (usually grayscale) Conversions from one format to another are far from trivial. Just make sure, the output of your software uses the same format as the Nikon. Use LXPIC to check it. Another point could be image dimensions but should be no problem, because almost every software allows for resizing of the output.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" The HP 95LX conforms to PCMCIA Release 1.0 electrically and physically accomodates the thicker Type II card size permitted by Release 2.0 (Type I cards are limited to 3.3 mm in thickness, Type II cards are up to 5.0 mm thick). Release 1.0 was only intended for memory cards, although some tricky special cards were created that gave the 95LX a modem that fit in the slot. The only one I ever used myself was the New Media PalmModem which came with a 2400 Baud modem and looked to the system like a ROM card with fax and terminal emulation software on it. PC Card Release 2.0 added quite a lot to the functions of the PCMCIA standard - beyond the physical aspects. Without a chipset that supports the added functions of Release 2.0, the HP 95LX cannot use the advanced I/O cards (modems, SCSI adapters, network interfaces,...) and it cannot offer support for card and socket services. ATA flash cards (Compact Flash cards also appear as ATA flash cards) require advanced features that are not present in the 95LX. That defines the limits for the 95LX: static RAM cards, linear flash cards, and specialty modem cards. By the way, the 100LX/200LX is not fully compliant with PCMCIA Release 2.0 either. The first standard was released in September, 1990. The standard was updated in September, 1991, but did not include the full description of Card Services until September, 1992 - by which time it was probably too late to get everything into the ROM and chipset.

Maybe a cheaper solution could be to epoxy a thin brass corner piece to cover/reinforce the crack, perhaps with a Thaddeus logo.

Some examples are IBM 3270 emulators, the G8BPQ AX25 Networking package, IBM 8514/A Adapter Interface, TIGA Communications Driver, Multilink, Multiware, SBS WinRun, Canon IXHND2 Scanner Interface, DJGPP GO32.EXE DOS extender, yterm, Telebit, Clustershare, Halo88 graphics, etc. If you can figure out what program is using the interrupts, run the connectivity pack before, the offending program is loaded. It might take trial and error to find which one it is if the above don't sound familiar.

This information is the root of the problem. The 950 won't display a picture that doesn't have the EXIF header in the jpg. It probably has to be named DSCN...jpg also. Editors generally remove the EXIF info. I've read of some programs which retain or can be used to put the EXIF header in, like Camedia software from Olympus, Uleads Photoimpact, and JPEG Wizard from Pegasus (none of which have I used).

It worked very well, though it gets annoying when I had to toggle between SYSMGR and HDM. Now than I have upgraded the palmtop to 32MB, I have a lot of disk space and I want to try out MAXDOS. I had no problem setting it up, and now the programs are all running smoothly, but I have a feeling that it could be better. Originally, I thought I can run the programs under SYSMGR, and use MAXDOS only when I have to go online. But now I have to run all 4 programs under MAXDOS because when I tried to start any of the programs under SYSMGR, I got a message "Can not run program XXX", which I interpret to mean that there is not enough memory. But when I checked the screen, it say "410K free /512K total". There seems to be a lot of memory. I have used HDM for so long, I have forgotten if PE and ACCIS4 runs under SYSMGR before. It seems strange that they can not, especially PE since it is such a small program. I have set up MAXDOS strictly according to the intructions given, ie, include the lines "maxdos -l -wf:\tmp", where f:\tmp is the swap directory, before any TSR's, which are just ABCTSR and BATTLOG, and "maxdos -r" after the line "200". Now, when the programs are called under MAXDOS, I do not see the battery voltage on the F1 label anymore. I think it is because ABCTSR has been swapped out. And I suspect BATTLOG is too, so that the log display is probably no longer accurate. Have I missed something? What I should like to know is how others set up MAXDOS and whether they have any or all of the programs working under SYSMGR. Thanks for any info.

I could do with a time display on the HP while running my weatherfax software. I seem to remember from my DOS days that there was a small TSR which would display the time in one (user defineable?) corner of the screen. Any ideas? Another nice little pair of utilities I remember were MARK.COM and RELEASE.COM. I ran MARK.COM before loading a TSR and RELEASE.COM to get rid of it again. I also remember using WARM.COM and COLD.COM. I had different AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files for different environments, and used batch files to copy the correct files to the root and then automatically reboot the computer. Oh, and there was FAKEY.COM. When run in a batch file, the command "FAKEY hello" would send the keystrokes "hello" to the next program in the batchfile. Of course some programs would flush the buffer so FAKEY wouldn't work... Now that I have a 200LX, I sure wish I'd taken better care of all those old DOS tweaks... PS. As I use my Ericsson MC218 and GSM phone for all my Internet access, I'd be REALLY grateful for direct URLs to the TSR clock if at all possible. Searching the net can be rather tedious at 9600 baud... There have been numerous occasions when I've wanted a software upgrade for the MC218 and have spent 10 - 15 minutes wading through all the nice graphics on the site, and then 15 seconds downloading the actual file. I wish they'd understand that an established user looking for the latest upgrade has already been convinced their software is the best thing since sliced bread and doesn't need to read all the hype!

About all you can really say is the 80186 is faster. There's no good way to judge how much faster. Even comparing this with an XT using Norton SI, the result would change significantly if they chose a different opcode mix. They gave a reason for the mix they chose and I can't remember what it was. But other mixes could have been chosen and good reasons given for them, too, but with different results. Also the IBM XT runs at 4.77 mHz and the LX runs at 7.? mHz. Norton SI uses a raw speed test and is affected by clock speed. The opcodes and pre-fetch were optimized on the 80186 beyond what they were on the 8088. In fact the pre-fetch on the 8088 was really designed for the 8086 and isnt very efficient on the 8088, according to Michael Abrash. Also the 80186 has a 16 bit bus and the 8088 has an 8 bit bus. The 80186 is faster at the same clock speed but how much faster depends on the application.

(The original IBM PC/XT is the >> baseline CI at 1.0.) At a certain point Norton changed their SI test to include 386 opcodes if they were present. They also changed the mix of opcodes in other ways. At that point the ability to compare with past CPU's was essentially lost, but they said it was more important to be able to compare 386's and 486's, etc. I can't remember the version number of Norton at the time but I'm pretty sure that's what you're seeing here.

What follows is a response to some of the issues and points raised and an explanation of where we are at. 1. I am still waiting for HP's response. I am hoping they decide to help us out getting the part manufactured in Asia. 2. I agree that it is to HP's credit that HP is willing to send us the mold. I've always found that HP people want to do the right thing. However, HP is a BIG company and there are LOTS of beaurocratic constraints. It helps that we have a 15 year relationship with HP. There is also a bit of HP self-interest in sending us the mold that I won't go into. 3. I appreciate the credit given to me publicly here, and it is true it is a labor of love working with the HP 200LX and the exceptional people who are our customers and have remained loyal to this platform. However, as I have always made clear, I am running a business. I have responsibility to my employees and our stockholders (my wife and I) As long as we make a reasonable profit, we will continue supporting HP 200LX users. The good news is that my guess is that we should be profitable at least until 2002 and probably longer. Furthermore, if credit is properly given, Mack, his tech, Avi, Andreas, Al Kind, Ed Keefe, Stefan, Mike K, many others, those active and supportive on this list, etc, etc deserve much of the credit for keeping the HP 200LX alive. We (me) just happens to be the most visible. Fortunately, most people's positive experience dealing with Thaddeus Computing is based on that fact that our company is small and made up of sincere, hard-working people at every level. 4. If we do receive the mold, it is unlikely we will try to improve on things. It is purely a business decision. We can sell more palmtops and make more repairs if we can get those cases made at a reasonable price. I am open to ideas, but I would have to see clearly that additional investment in an improved design would make good business sense. It is EXTREMELY unlikely that HP would be interested in give us the molds for the entire case. 5. We created the $125 repair fee to keep things simple. Expensive repairs (keyboards and motherboards) are normally priced the same as cracked cases. What we do is cannibalize units and if we're luck we can use lots of parts from one palmtop and it all evens out. In fact since we just use cannibalized parts, the original cost (screen or case) isn't as important to us as if we have to use a lot of one part such as the case, lowering the number of palmtops for resale. This is a long way of saying, it is possible, I'll think about it, but we probably will not sell cases individually for you do-it-your-selfers. Repairs are an important and profitable part of our business that allow us to continue, while at the same time it normally provides customers with an excellent value. 6. A number of you of suggested companies to do the manufacturing. Thank you. Also, some of you have requested information that I just don't have an answer. I may have to check with HP. I know nothing of the process involved in making the cases. What I have learned is that the whole thing isn't as easy as I had hoped -- "here's the mold, make me cases, how much will it cost? when can I get them?" 7. Thanks again for your many public and private responses. This truly is a great list! (And Jeff, I like you no matter what anybody says about you). ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 8 Nov 2000 22:41:25 +0000 Reply-To: neil@skipper.org.uk Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Neil Tungate Organization: Home for Geriatric Collies Subject: Re: FLUFF: PayPal is Now Available for International Users In-Reply-To: <001701c04779$8aa11000$7310f4d0@beld.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Sun, 5 Nov 2000 17:41:29 -0500, Ken wrote: >Beware...if you use paypal you may be screwed.

I don't know if that holds for direct dialups to their own network. The material attached below is from mid-year 1992 and may not reflect current conditions entirely. Alan The recommended settings for your terminal and modem are 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit. If your call gets no response from the network (see below) and you have checked that all your settings are correct, try a setting of 7 bit, space or mark parity, 1 stop bit. (I always found it to work best with 7 bit, space parity, 1 stop bit) Set your equipment up to operate at the same communications rate as the network (300, 1200, 2400 or 9600 baud). Dial Tymnet with your modem Using your favorite software to communicate with your modem, instruct the modem to dial the TYMNET local phone number you obtained above. You should soon get a CONNECT message from your modem. Type your Terminal Identifier During 300 or 1200 baud communications you may see garbled characters or the following prompt displayed on your terminal. At 2400 or 9600, you may or may not see this message; you may just have a blank screen beyond the CONNECT message: please type your terminal identifier: If you don't see the prompt and wish to, you may press after three seconds, and the above prompt (or a garbled version) should display. Your terminal identifier is a single letter. You do not need to press after entering it. - If your setup is 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit use the terminal identifier "o". (Same is used for 7 bit, space parity, 1 stop bit) - If your setup is 7 bits, even or no parity, 1 stop bit, use the terminal identifier "a". If you have typed your terminal identifier and the "Please log in" prompt is garbled and cannot be read, you must reconfigure your equipment. Return to step 1 and do the following: . If you originally configured your equipment with no parity, try changing your parity setting to mark parity. . Make sure that your equipment is operating at the same bps rate as the network node and port. Type your login string, preceded by any needed TYMNET control information A port number and prompt should now display (the digits below are just examples). You may wish to write down the port number in case you have TYMNET trouble. TYMNET Customer Service (see "If You Have Trouble," below) will want to know it. -4117:01-003- please log in: The simplest case is to type CIS and press . Before you type CIS, you may wish to type one or more of the following control characters, which instruct TYMNET to do some special things with your session: Control-X Transmit data flow control. Enables the network to halt and restart the flow of data transmitted from your equipment. Insert Control-X when sending data files. Do not use when transmitting binary files. Control-R Receive data flow control. Enables your equipment to halt and restart the flow of data received from the network. Insert Control-R when receiving data files. Do not use when receiving binary files. Control-I Interactive data session request. Results in the shortest circuit path to your destination equipment. Enables faster response time for a low characters-per-second interactive data session. Do not use Control-I for a file transfer data session. It may significantly lower throughput. Do no use Control-I with Control-V. Control-V Volume bandwidth request. Increases bandwidth in the circuit to you destination and enable faster file transfers. Use of Control-V will increase file transfer speed, but may decrease interactive response. Do not use Control-V during an interactive data session. It may significantly reduce throughput speed. Control-H Half-duplex request. Set the port to which you are connected to half-duplex. The use of half-duplex prevents double images on your terminal display. The default is full-duplex. Control-P Even parity request. Sets the port to which you are connect to even parity. Enables even parity for data incoming to your equipment that requires even parity. The default is mark parity. Control-W Wipe login string. Allows you to retype a segment of the login string. You cannot use Control-W to edit your password. Your cursor does not move when you use Control-W. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2000 17:28:18 +1300 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Tony Kan Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Tony Kan Subject: Re: Help with getting 200LX case made Comments: To: steve@CARDERFAMILY.NET In-Reply-To: <200011090249.VAA09074@spdmraaa.compuserve.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have two HP200LX's one I have had since 1994 (2Mb) and the other (4Mb) since 1997.

Type "CIS" and hit "Enter" ... then follow the prompts. This should work fine for some text-based access; but there's not much left that you can "see" and use. I've "reverted" to a CompuServe "Classic" account ( Nnnnn.nnnn@compuserve.com address ), but still have my email set up for the POP3 access. I was able to log on w/ the CIS, my user id (the numbers only, w/ a *comma,* not a period) and my password. I looked into my old mail area and got a "warning." If I type "go mail" from a terminal session, it basically tells me I won't be able to get to my mail anymore. I knew this, when I went to the POP3. BUT, it does say I can "SEND" somehow, from a terminal window. I haven't tried it, but I imagine it's with the old and cranky CIS line editor. It was a pain in the neck to edit, you had to list all your lines and then ask to edit specific lines, by line number, etc. I'm glad for POP3 and other forms of access!! If nothing else, this could be an "emergency" send-only area for compuserve members who accidentally dump whichever LX or DOS -based email software they're using. HTH, --tim PS. I don't EVEN know what would happen, if you've "totally" switched over to CIS 2000 ( xxxxxx@cs.com address )...... "Terminal" access may give even less. And, I imagine it's all soon to die anyway, in favor of using their, proprietary software to access (AOL bought CIS; now it's anyone's guess). ÝFLUFF ON: Can anyone say Monopoly!?!?!?! AOL (esp. w/ it's pending Time-Warner deal) beats Microsoft on monopolizing any day. The DOJ missed its mark ... Heck, ever notice how loading AOL's software even modifies Internet Explorer (without giving you a choice!)?? All IMOHO /fluff off¨. I hope some of CompuServe's original "brain trust" and wealth of knowledge survives, I found a LOT of tech-help there in the 80's and beyond. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2000 08:23:59 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Daniel Hertrich Sender: HPLX Mailing List Comments: RFC822 error: Incorrect or incomplete address field found and ignored.

I would like to tell you something about the hinge crack: abt. one year ago I bought a used palmtop as a spare unit. My original one was quite new because of a warranty exchange. But due to a less clicking keyboard (better for use in the university ;-) ) I decided to use the "new" (bought) unit as my main unit and put the better one aside as a spare one. When I bought this second unit, I realized that it showed the hair crack at the right hinge. Only hardly seeable, but it was there. Until now (1 year of heavy use) it didn't get worse. Still the little hair crack, but nothing more. I don't care in any way about this crack (I even tightened the hinge a little bit with isopropyl alcohol). And I think this palmtop case will survive a long time to come. So not every hinge crack has to be a death sentence for a palmtop.

Starting Nov. 10, purchases made on eBay (TM) from a Verified seller using PayPal that qualify for eBay's insurance policy may also qualify for additional compensation from PayPal. Fraud claims from all other purchases from Verified sellers will be investigated, and in cases of fraud any recovered funds will be returned to the buyer. However, recovery is not guaranteed. " Note that "recovery is not guaranteed", meaning don't hold your breath that you will see any recovery. I have read on the web that _both_ buyers and sellers have been scammed using Pay Pal. The biggest problem is that Pay Pal does _very little_ to verify that the person opening the account is who they say they are. Also, as was pointed out in another post, normal credit card fraud rules do not apply to Pay Pal. I still use Pay Pal, though. However, I have not raised my "credit limit" above the original low one, as I do not plan on using it for large purchases, only small ones in the $5-$50 range. Robert A.

So not every hinge crack has to be a death sentence for a palmtop. >> I second Daniel's remarks ... my case has been cracked for four years but is still going strong after some epoxy and some good advice from list member Robert Hocking ages ago. Basically, he extended the hinge adjustment with a combination of alcohol (to tighten) and oil (to loosen). I'll repeat that posting here, as I've used it to adjust all three of my LX's (and my wife's) to the exact tension I need (loose, but just tight enough for the screen to hold its position at an angle). It also has an excellent description of the hinge cap assembly and removal. - Longden Robert's post: > There has been much discussion on the subject.

Great memory though, what did you do, record this in your LX? :-) I have not had anything to comment on for quite sometime now, bummer! I went through a wave of bad used (refurbished) 200LX's that I received from HP's express exchange program. I had received about five units, that each had something different wrong with them, that had to be sent back to HP, until finally HP agreed to send me a brand new one. Once they even accidently sent me someone elses LX that was sent in for repair. The whole bottom was covered in velcro, and that is when I knew there was something not right with this unit. It still had all their personal data on it. I even got the paid receipt for their repair, showing which credit card they used to pay for it. Woops! Of the many units I had received, each had different hinge tensions. Some were just right, some were too loose, and some were too tight. One of the units had a hinge way too tight. I decided that this unit would be a good one to experiment on, because I knew that this unit was going back to HP, because it had other problems with it. I removed the right side hinge cap, and examined the make up of the right side hinge. It is a steel pin, in the center, that is fixed to the base of the LX, surrounded by a rubber bushing, that rotates around the steel pin, connected to the lid. The left side hinge is just plastic rotating around plastic, and offers only a pivot, without any resistance. The right side hinge cap can easily be removed by having the lid open about half way, and then using the finger nails of your thumb and forefinger (index, pointer), to pop the hinge cap off. Once the right side hinge cap is removed, you will see the steel pin, and the rubber bushing. I put the LX up on edge, with the AC jack facing upwards. I then sprayed some WD-40 into the cap of the WD-40 can, until I got enough liquid in the cap, to stick something into the liquid in the cap. If I recall, I used a toothpick, to form a very small droplet, on the end of the toothpick, and then dropped the droplet, in between the steel pin, and the rubber bushing. Still keeping the LX on its edge, I worked the lid, by opening and closing the lid, until the WD-40 worked its way in. It made closing the lid much easier. In my opinion, one of the main contributing factors of the hinge crack forming, is units that have hinges that require excessive pressure to close the lid, in which the plastic case surrounding the hinge, just can't take the excessive repeated stress, and then gives way. I would be willing to bet, that if there was a gauge that could be made, that would measure the force required to close all the lids, of all the people, who have had their LX's for years, but have never developed a hinge crack, and then compared those baseline measurements, to all the people who have developed a hinge crack, that their hinges are just too tight. The real problem is a lot of users only have one unit, so they have nothing to compare the hinge tension in their unit to. It was only when I had my hands on the many LX's, that had to be returned, that I discovered the difference in hinge tensions. I even had one unit who's lid was so loose, that it would close, or open, all by itself. To experiment on the unit with the loose hinge, I did the opposite of using oil, and used a tiny drop of rubbing alcohol. It worked like a charm. It put the tension of the lid just where I feel it should have been. I feel the correct tension, is just enough to keep the lid from closing or opening, by itself. Anything more could lead to a hinge crack. Anything less is only a slight inconvience . I now own three LX's, but really only use one. I bought a spare in case my primary unit ever failed, and then a co-worker had another unit for sale, that I just couldn't turn down the price of, so now I have three. All three of my current units have perfect hinge tensions, so I don't fear the dreaded hinge crack, and have been lucky enough not to ever have had one. Hope this helps.

Even if the check is signed by the payee when cashed, it is necessary to prove that the person who signed it is the person who you sent it to. If they deny it, proving fraud and prosecuting across state lines will be difficult, and if the amount is small the authorities will be reluctant to pursue the case. At least with PayPal there is some verification that the payment went to the seller. With snail mail payments, the time delay can make recovery harder. By the time it is sorted out, it may be difficult to use Ebay's processes and too late to even leave feedback. Been there, done that, I now prefer PayPal.

Well, I have it now, and it doesn't work in my HP95LX. The card itself is OK, as I can use it in a pentium-based Toshiba laptop. When I try to use it in the 95LX, however, either the unit will not turn on (if I put the card in when it is off) or it will immediately blank the screen except for one horizontal line across the screen (if I insert the card when the unit is on). In this latter case, the screen reappears as soon as I remove the flash card. I was able to get copies of two SanDisk flash card drivers for the HP95LX (HP95SDP.SYS and SDPDRV.SYS, "SUNDISK SDP PCMCIA-ATA Device Driver", Versions 1.00 and 1.1, vintage 1992), but they do not make any difference: the screen still blanks when I have the flash card inserted. I have tried booting with the card out and the card inserted, both without luck. The card I have is branded for "International Game Technology". I have gone to their web site, but most of their technical information is restricted access. The card has "SM9FLATA20TIGT" on it, so I believe it is an ATA card, but I do not know who manufactured it. So... Is anyone using one of these cards in their HP95LX (Scott says that there are)? If so, what drivers are you using. Also, is the blanking of the screen on my 95LX just a problem with my unit, or have other users experienced it when trying to use an ATA flash card?

China plastics industry (to where even a number of Japanese, Taiwanese and Hong Kong injection molders have moved their operations). We worked mainly with Italian, Swiss and German machinery factories on highly sophisticated plastics processing plants. If you want to use an Asian molder, probably South China is now one of the world's leading volume producers and they have excellent equipment. The problems are consistent resin quality and finished product quality. Reliable delivery is possible, even with outstanding quality, but preformulated resins should be specified and imported. We are not talking about a large quantity here. A stronger polymer alloy can be used, especially if aesthetics and surface finish are not critical. > 3.

Hear! Hear! Perfectly fair and understood. But smaller product runs are probably more easily run in the USA at not much greater cost at the end of the day. Probably you can negotiate a non-rushed special time available price. Molded parts can be bulky in shipping. > 4. If we do receive the mold, it is unlikely we will try to improve on > things.

It is EXTREMELY unlikely > that HP would be interested in give us the molds for the entire case. This is candid and makes perfect business sense. The mold probably could be readily modified in the hinge area (if drawings or CAD/CAM files were available), but honestly, I think the HPLX community would be very satisfied just to be able to get cost effective replacements. Modifications are not reversible. However, if the mold cavities were 2/4/6/8 up at a time, then one of the cavities could be modified for trials. The drawback would be that cavity would always be producing an off-spec case so my inclination (from Hal's perspective and not as J.Q. Enduser) would be to leave all alone. > 6.

Combining points from other posts here, it is unlikely other materials can be easily substituted for plastics. Glass fiber reinforced engineered compounds (Nylon, ABS, or PP type compounds) could be used with enhanced properties, possibly with some less attractive surface finish. Transparent iMac type resins could also be used but only with significant sacrifice in the physical/mechanical properties of the case--such as impact/crack/scratch resistance. However, a clear or tinted case could be appealing to a number of users but such a run would have to be pre-sold from a business standpoint. If the entire mold set is available, that raises more interesting possibilities. As an enduser, I'd like to be able to replace the front hinge. More importantly, and possibly not too far out of line with Hal's backlighting project, what I'd really like to see is a slightly larger backlit screen solution within the existing case. This means maintaining the mold for the screen bezel, but trimming it back (by CNC) so that only a 2-3 mm border exists. Pop in a larger backlit screen and charge what the market will bear. That kit will make money. Finally, continuing a theme I raised maybe a year ago, would HP transfer the entire project to a responsible party to re-engineer, update CPU power, all under license and a different brand? There are probably enough diehards to be linked/networked who would do it just for a good supply of the finished product. Maybe TransMeta can provide a compatible low power chipset and DOS 8-"X" could be used to overcome the 640k limitation? Other ideas? Just thinkin' out loud. --- Sidney Ho SKYHO@csi.com ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2000 13:07:02 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Surfer Surfer Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Surfer Surfer Subject: Tracing IP addresses MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Does anyone on this list know if "headers" "properties" "details" for tracing IPs may be done with: 1.

That's right, you cannot simply replace the chip. It is a complete new PCB with memory, invertor, PCCARD interface, and 16550 compatible serial port.

I'm sure you've looked at the completed sales on ebay to gauge the selling prices. 2mb 200LX's by themselves appear to sell for about $255, and a 5mb 200LX with a modest amount of additional gear sold for $325 (#471042370). By comparison, earlier this year I bought a 2mb 200LX in mint condition with all manuals, Cpack, Thinfax modem, flash card, serial/parallel convertor, and a bunch of other gear (the guy was the network specialist for his church) for $200. Many of the members here have more than one LX and can generally wait for the occasional steal/deal, so I'd think that the going rate in this group is lower than on ebay (except for the newbie who just dropped/broke/lost his/her only LX who'll sell their first-born child to get a replacement), tho I don't want to speculate on what others here would pay.

I wasn't clear before. The actual setup of Robonews worked fine. The problem I had was that when using the setup program for Post/LX (in post3.zip) to set up email, it also did some configuration for news, putting in a sample newsgroup, and also it puts in an external program link which uses news2.exe (It was for downloading a list of newsgroups). After deleting the sample newsgroup, and that link, I could connect and download newsgroups ok. At first I thought it was finding an old configuration file and using those settings, but if you use a viewer to look at setup.exe, at the end you'll find data for a configuration file, and one of the lines in the ÝEXTERNAL¨ section has a reference to news2.exe. So, it's not really a problem with Robonews setup, but the setup.exe for Post/LX needs updating I think.

I have set it up that I can do the following: (names changed for security ;-) ) At a DOS prompt I call a batch file in my path, say "anything.bat" If I called "anything" then PGP starts and asks me for my Mantra. I enter the Mantra, then PGP decrypts the file "anything.pgp" lying in my \bin folder on the flash card and attributed "hidden" (so nobody would ever see it with a normal DIR, and nobody expects to find a pgp file in a bin folder) to "anything.txt". Then the Batch invokes pe with the txt file. When I'm done with PE (viewing and/or editing the file), the batch calls PGP to re-encrypt anything.txt and wipe out the txt contents from the flash card entirely. This is a very comfortable setup and I think also a quite safe one. I use a 768 bit PGP key, and decryption of my 10kB PIN and password file takes about 15 seconds. Encryption only takes a few seconds (on double speed, of course). If someone steals the palmtop, he has to have luck that I didn't remove the flash card. Then he has to find the hidden file in the uncommon folder. Then he has to crack the PGP key. And then he will be VERY disappointed, because all the PINs are already changed by me.... and in addition to that I don't have much money on my accounts, so it's probably not worth the hard work to crack the PGP file... ;-) GTX daniel -- Celia & Daniel Hertrich d.hertrich@gmx.de home page: http://www.daniel-hertrich.de mobile phone: +49 (0)177 7955549 unified messaging (fax,voice): +49 (0)721 151 306690 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 11 Nov 2000 11:44:49 +1300 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Anthony G Hutchins Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Anthony G Hutchins Subject: Re: WWW, Post setup question Comments: To: Daniel Hertrich MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Sat, 11 Nov 2000 11:42:43 +1300 (NZST) 26m60s ago ...

Thanks for the report, and your patience Mike! I just downloaded the latest POST3.ZIP and indeed it does put a reference to news.exe in one of the externals and also creates a news2 newsgroup folder called palmtops. So I imagine what happened was you selected the palmtops folder for visit and POST/LX said there was no news2.exe. > Also, the update for Post.exe says that F7 (Edit) should work on = X-Boxes, > but it doesn't seem to work for the X-Boxes installed by Robonews.

I'm left handed but seem to open it by holding the bottom in the right hand and lifting the lid with the left. It could be there is a slight off-angle levering and therefore, pressure as the lid is lifted open. I've had a hairline hinge crack on a 200. And it really was "hairline" as it looked more like a scratch until I examined under a magnifying glass and opened and closed and noticed just a fractional change in the "line" - alas it was the crack. > The other variables in the mix would be the tightness or looseness of the > right hinge and how one handles the Ptop.

As previously mentioned, I bought the HP to do If I recall, the other day you were saying you did not want to load a whole bunch of stuff on the 200 and now you are learning how versatile it really is!

(carefully to roughly) I've had about 6 palmtops over the years and used them about as much as you have and I've also never had a hinge crack and I'm right handed. Maybe the key is to either be left handed or right handed. Everybody else has problems. A couple of them did have pretty tight hinges when I got them and I worried about them. But they loosened up in time and have been fine. I've also dropped whichever palmtop I'm using at the time at least several times. I can't say that all of them have been dropped but, if not, some have been dropped more than once. I always open them holding them in my left hand and press and lift the top from the front center. This is just the habit I've developed. I don't just pull up. I rotate the top up. I've intentionally developed that habit because of reading about cracked hinges over the years. Maybe it works.

I remember ONE good pw that gives me access to the drive contents. On the drive is a file that contains all my other accounts info including the pw to each. (DON'T use the same pw everywhere.) I configured SecDev to automatically logout a couple of minutes later so it doesn't remain 'open'. Security? You can't be too safe. The strength of your security techniques doesn't guarentee your data is secure; it just takes longer to break in. Cheers...

I searched the HPLX archives and could come up only with this one reference to the use of acrylic anything: http://www.technoir.nu/cgi-bin/search.cgi?query=acrylic&ichoice=1998&results=25 This person used "acrylic glue" with no further description of the "glue". The product I am familiar with is sold by a company called "TAP PLASTICS" which I think is based out of Dublin California. "TAP PLASTICS" is a chain in California which sells all manner of things related to acrylic plastic for the hobbyist. The "glue" comes in small, 2 ounce glass bottles. The bottle label says the ingredients are *Methylene Chloride, PM Glycol Ether*. They also sold applicators for this stuff which consisted of a small polyethylene bottle with a blunt hypodermic needle protruding from it's cap. I don't recommend the applicator bottle because it assumes you're gluing a long joint and allows way too much cement to come out. The label says this stuff is called *ACRYLIC CEMENT*. It is a free flowing (extremely low viscosity), volatile (rapid evaporation) liquid. In use, the parts to be joined are put in position and clamped in some way to hold them in place under pressure. The cement is usually applied with a hypodermic syringe to allow careful control of the amount used. A small amount will spread by capillary action to all surfaces of the joint. The cement attacks (liquifies) the plastic on both sides of the break and the clamp pressure forces the two, now molten, edges of the plastic to flow together. Shortly thereafter the cement evaporates leaving no residue. Once the cement has evaporated there is nothing to keep the plastic molten anymore and so it re-solidifies. Since I wasn't sure if the plastic used to mold the 200's case was an acrylic, I removed the battery cover and applied a tiny amount to the underside of the cover and swirled it around. Sure enough, it "attacks" the plastic so it should work on the 200's cover. Since neither one of my 200's has the dreaded crack, I can't test this procedure but if I could, I would try to somehow horizontally clamp (a vise?) the cover with enough pressure to see the gap narrow as the pressure is applied. Once I had the gap as narrow as possible I would carefully apply one or two SMALL drops of cement to the crack, applying enough so that I was sure it flowed the entire length of the crack. I wouldn't disturb the assembly until the cement evaporated to minimize the possible surface disfigurement. If I were to use too much cement and the outer surface of the lid became disfigured during evaporation, I would probably try rubbing it hard with my finger first. Failing that I would then try something like a pencil eraser.

When I was working to long on programming my adress program, any changes I made in the code did not work in the executable, until I found out that the date in the files had not changed after midnight.

I used a thin "button thread" although there are many alternatives. The hinge can then be re-assembled with the compressed spring, and when complete, it is possible to use a very sharp knife to cut the thread and release the spring.

I would rather writer something on the Hplx while watching tv than sit infront of the desktop pc. But I guess I could do that with the Mc2189/5Mx too.

COM-ID works with Robot/LX. Let me just add a few words regarding the purpose of that little utility com-id. I am using a couple of different modems connected at com1; one at the office, one at home, one along with a "project related" GSM phone. Each one with a different setting. I experienced it as real hassle always taking care the right modem initialization. Using the GSM phone, most ISP accept ISDN dialin, which saves the modem training period. I ended up to have the palmtop find out, what's connected. Especially when using post/lx after www/lx is already launched, robot/lx seems to be a powerful tool. Only a few lines are needed; quite impressive tool. Maybe somebody here has the same needs? I would like to share you ideas.

The fax hardware is just a shortwave receiver with an OP-amp and a couple of other little bits, but the software does read the RS-232 continually, so the "lost interrupt" sounds like a very probably explanation.

I'm afraid that isn't much good to me. As previously mentioned, my only access to the Internet is with my MC218 through GSM cell-phone at 9600 baud, so web-based stuff is just too darned expensive (and slow). So, how about it. Would anyone here like to start a digicam list? It's easy enough to do at www.listbot.com. I'm already the list owner of a couple of boating related mailing lists, but feel that the administration of the digicam list is better left to someone with better web access who doesn't travel six months every year... If I am going to be able to participate, one of the ground rules must be that posting binaries (like photographs) to the list is not allowed. Maybe one could set up a second list for those who wanted to post photographs. > So which Nikon are you pushing? 800 / 950 / 990 / > 880 It's the 950. I'm very happy with it. The only thing I really dislike is the fact that when I switch it on, it always zooms the lens to the max. telephoto setting. If I've taken my time composing the picture and the camera automatically switches off, I have to reframe the picture. I have no idea why it does this. It would make sense if the camera parked the lens when switching off, but this only happens when I switch it on again.

Blankenship and (especially) Mack Baggette for the assistance provided when my 200 burped. This is the reason that I've been more than willing to put up with the "static level" on this list. As an unsolicited testimonial to Mack's 32 Meg memory upgrades, I've got to say I'm AMAZED! My 200 has been burping recently when I would switch between a large database and Quicken. I'd have to do the control alt del thing and it would reboot OK. Because of this I have been backing up my data directory frequently. (Probably about as often as I should if I weren't having problems.) Yesterday when I tried to open Quicken it hung again. The three finger salute didn't work. Waiting for a half hour with the 200 on the AC adapter didn't help either. The BIG reset didn't work either! No response to the keyboard whatsoever. I had a fresh data backup so I pulled all three batteries. Started it up and realized that the flashcard I had with me didn't have the startup files. I was away from home for a few days and wouldn't have access to my other cards for a couple days. PANIC!!!! Using a Web account I got the drivers from Times2. But I was so braindead without my "brain", that I didn't even realize that Mack's site sent me zip files instead of exe's. That is when I emailed the list. (In my limited defense, I was using a borrowed PC that was running Windows ME and it tended to insist that I shouldn't see the file extensions.) Of course my friends on the list came to my rescue last night and gave me the advice I needed. Then the real surprise. All of the files on the 32 meg partition survived the loss of power from my battery pulling trial. Mack, I salute you for designing something that works the way it is supposed to and much MORE!

It will be able to release the shutter (and make the HP Agenda start up PhotoPC to release the shutter! :). It will also be able to change various registers in the Camera. I used this to put my name in the Exif header of each picture. Note however that Nikon strongly does not recommend to change Nikon camera registers.

I stuck the 200LX MODE.COM into debug and tried to find the version check. I could not find it. It turns out that it calls some ROM code in the 200LX. I looked at the MODE.COM in MS-DOS 6.20, and found much more reasonable behavior. The "edited" version follows. The DEBUG prompt is a hyphen "-". Lines that start with one are the debug commands that were entered. The session was then annotated with comments starting with a semi-colon. debug c:mode.com ; This is MODE from MS-DOS6.20 -u10f3 3188:10F3 B430 MOV AH,30 ; H'30' is get version function 3188:10F5 CD21 INT 21 ; DOS function "call" 3188:10F7 3D0614 CMP AX,1406 ; Compare with version 6.20 20 = H'14' 3188:10FA 7503 JNZ 10FF ; Jump if not equal 3188:10FC F8 CLC ; Clear carry to show success 3188:10FD EB18 JMP 1117 ; return 3188:10FF 3D0200 CMP AX,0002 ; Start of error processing 3188:1102 7305 JNB 1109 3188:1104 BBFFFF MOV BX,FFFF 3188:1107 EB03 JMP 110C 3188:1109 BB0200 MOV BX,0002 3188:110C B80100 MOV AX,0001 3188:110F B90000 MOV CX,0000 3188:1112 B200 MOV DL,00 -u 3188:1114 B6FF MOV DH,FF 3188:1116 F9 STC ; Set carry to indicate wrong version 3188:1117 C3 RET ; return -q ; Quit back to DOS So, if you wanted to change the version check, you would make a copy of mode.com, and load it into DEBUG. Then you would put a new version number in at the word at location 10F8. Note that the byte order is reversed. Or you could put two NOP's in at 10FA (NOP = H'90' = No OPer- ation). Then there would not be any version check. Use the "E" command to change the content of a byte. And then use the "W" debug command to write out the patched program file. Here is an "edited" debug session on a version 3.20 diskette. The comments show approximately what you would do to locate the version check for PC-DOS. debug b:mode.com ; PC-DOS 3.20 -r ; Check registers to find program size AX=0000 BX=0000 CX=1AD0 DX=0000 SP=FFFE BP=0000 SI=0000 DI=0000 DS=2080 ES=2080 SS=2080 CS=2080 IP=0100 NV UP EI PL NZ NA PO NC 2080:0100 E9A803 JMP 04AB -s 100 1ad0 cd 21 ; Search for DOS Interrupts 2080:0274 2080:027F 2080:04AD ; This is the one. 2080:04BD 2080:0B29 2080:115D 2080:1227 2080:1896 - -u 4ab ; Unassemble area of interest 2080:04AB B430 MOV AH,30 ; H'30' is get version function 2080:04AD CD21 INT 21 ; DOS function "call" 2080:04AF 3C03 CMP AL,03 ; Compare major version to 3 2080:04B1 7505 JNZ 04B8 ; Jump if not equal 2080:04B3 80FC14 CMP AH,14 ; Check if minor version is H'20' 2080:04B6 740A JZ 04C2 ; jump if okay 2080:04B8 BA0E1B MOV DX,1B0E ; point to error message 2080:04BB B409 MOV AH,09 ; print error message 2080:04BD CD21 INT 21 2080:04BF E92C04 JMP 08EE ; Jump to error handler 2080:04C2 B90000 MOV CX,0000 ; Normal exit point from version check -d 1b0e ; Dump at the pointer to confirm error 2080:1B00 0D 0A .. 2080:1B10 49 6E 63 6F 72 72 65 63-74 20 44 4F 53 20 76 65 Incorrect DOS ve 2080:1B20 72 73 69 6F 6E 07 0D 0A-24 0D 0A 49 6E 76 61 6C rsion...$..Inval In this case you would change the version bytes at locations 04B0 and 04B5, or change the conditional jump at 04B1 to an unconditional jump to location 04C2. Of course, there could be some reason, other than the logical one of using common routines in ROM, that the 200LX has a convoluted MODE.COM. So a patched version may still not work.

Maybe it would be possible to write a TSR which can set the date? I'm not sure if this would work though. I tried running a TSR clock, but when I put the WeFax software in auto-receive mode, the clock stalled and WeFax was unable to detect the start of a fax and start receiving. It still worked with manual receive though. It's now just after midnight so I checked, and sure enough, the date was wrong again, so it seems this happens every night at midnight if the software is running in auto-receive mode. I don't know if Bracknell actually transmit any faxes at midnight. Would it be possible to write a TSR which sends a keystroke to the program to get it out of auto receive mode (Esc) at a minute to midnight, and then puts it back in auto receive mode (A, S) a minute after midnight? Presumably, if the program hogs the interrupts, the TRS will never get a chance to do its thing?

Probably as you've surmised, a combination of factors: bloated env/ini files/path statements, SSC overhead, and maybe a fragmented (herniated?) disk. I agree in theory, but disagree in principle with the notion that you have to periodically do a clean reinstall of an OS (or any application). That just implies that the software was never designed properly to include its own checks for currency. Unfortunately, this appears to have been, and is still, the state of the art. What might be interesting is to maintain a dual-boot system and, over time, compare speeds for your LX when booted to "power-user" mode, vs "lean-and-mean" mode. I don't run SSC myself and I try to keep my apps down to a minimum so that the various dependencies are somewhat manageable. That being said, my configuration files are probably a mess also! - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2000 20:00:57 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Daniel Hertrich Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Daniel Hertrich Subject: 700 LX 2nd PCMCIA MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi friends, I'm just curious: Did anyone of the 700LX users ever try to replace the Nokia Datacard in the 2md PCMCIA slot by a Flash card (as an "internal" hard disk)?

The disk isn't on the HP, I just wanted to give an example that people could visualise. 3) You're quite right. Laust. What I wrote does work. My fault was to give a simplified example. What you've highlighted is that the exclude path and the backup path must match textually; it's not enought that they're logically equivalent. Example: 1) pkzip -pr -xc:\_dat\*.* backup c:\*.* 2) pkzip -pr -x\_dat\*.* backup c:\*.* 3) pkzip -pr -xc:\_dat\*.* backup \*.* 1 Works. 2 & 3 do not, even though they imply the same request (and your current drive is C:).

Another possibility would be that the press contacts directly under the screen are dirty or loose. So you can first try to pry off the screen cover with a blade or something like that and fasten the screws there. IF the problem disappears or gets better, you probably have to clean these contacts. FIRST, try to press manually together the left side of the screen (the border besides the screen). Does that help?

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Hi, I found this little utility which may solve your problem. You can download it here: http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~af380/Tips.html I can e-mail it to you privately if prefer. This is what it is supposed to do: "FIXCLOCK Have you ever played a computer game for a half hour and found out that your computer clock is now three or four hours fast? Many games change the system timer interrupt rate to a more frequent one so they can produce less jerky animation without it being affected by the processor speed. Unfortunately, many of them fail to correct for the faster incrementation rate to the software system clock and your computer clock runs like a jaguar on speed. Usually, the only fix for this is to manually change the time (which is error prone and alters your hardware (CMOS) clock setting as well as the software clock -- and requires you to have an accurate time source other than your computer) or to shut the computer off and then back on so the system will reread the hardware clock again to reset your software system clock. FIXCLOCK.COM to the rescue. After running one of these games, just run the FIXCLOCK programme. It reads your hardware clock and sets the system software clock to match it. No fancy parameters to memorize. Just type "fixclock" (without the quotes) and press your ENTER key. The programme and instructions are available here in a single tiny zipped file called, unimaginatively, fixclock.zip."

This post has enough of a connection with the hplx that I chose not to label it fluff or OT. My wife and I are shopping for a new desktop PC, and we are thinking on a Compaq Presario 5000. The question is this: I wish to retain as much compatibility to my HPLX and 16 bit DOS/Windows software as possible, so which Windows is best for the purpose, while keeping support for the latest hardware and software? I am inclined towards Windows98, though they are offering me Windows ME. Both are supposed to support DOS, but I have heard that ME has some compatibility issues that 98 doesn't have with old stuff. Is this so? I also read that 98 has support and drivers for some things that ME just leaves for third party folks. Is that so? The latter comment concerns IR support in particular. Any and all comments appreciated. Domingo P.S. If any of this is perceived as off topic or not appropriate, then please respond privately, at least.

The reason ABCTSR and BATTLOG was swapped out from memory is because it is loaded after MAXDOS. It is important where you place TSR programs in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The correct sequence should be, ABCTSR BATTLOG MAXDOS -L -WF:\TMP 200 MAXDOS -R Hope this helps. Regards Leong ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Subject: MaxDos question Author: "HPLX Mailing List" Date: 11/8/2000 8:55 AM I have set up MAXDOS strictly according to the intructions given, ie, include the lines "maxdos -l -wf:\tmp", where f:\tmp is the swap directory, before any TSR's, which are just ABCTSR and BATTLOG, and "maxdos -r" after the line "200". Now, when the programs are called under MAXDOS, I do not see the battery voltage on the F1 label anymore. I think it is because ABCTSR has been swapped out. And I suspect BATTLOG is too, so that the log display is probably no longer accurate. Have I missed something? What I should like to know is how others set up MAXDOS and whether they have any or all of the programs working under SYSMGR. Thanks for any info.

It might involve a little DOS so. I'm thinking of getting my email out from Outlook Express 5.5 and in to seperate files per message on disk. Then it's easier to use any kind of reader or importer. A seperate directory maybe for each folder. The problem is that many messages have the same name, so just dragging them across to a directory doesn't work. I can mark a whole lot of messages and forward them and then drag the copied message to a folder. Now it's in a standard text format, but one big file, which I can read with List. How can I split this large file up into seperate messages? What would be nice was if one could specify the filename as the message subject (the file system would have to support LFNs, I suppose) and get the file date to be the message date sent. Anybody done this or know of a util that does this?

Hello all. This post has enough of a connection with the hplx that I chose not to label it fluff or OT. My wife and I are shopping for a new desktop PC, and we are thinking on a Compaq Presario 5000. The question is this: I wish to retain as much compatibility to my HPLX and 16 bit DOS/Windows software as possible, so which Windows is best for the purpose, while keeping support for the latest hardware and software? I am inclined towards Windows98, though they are offering me Windows ME. Both are supposed to support DOS, but I have heard that ME has some compatibility issues that 98 doesn't have with old stuff. Is this so? I also read that 98 has support and drivers for some things that ME just leaves for third party folks. Is that so? The latter comment concerns IR support in particular. Any and all comments appreciated. Domingo P.S. If any of this is perceived as off topic or not appropriate, then please respond privately, at least.

Apparently, the palmtop's PCMCIA controller recognizes two separate PCMCIA slots -- but the second one (drive b:) is just missing on a 100/200LX.

I had an earlier DOS version of MS Project running on my HPLX but have switched to PRO/LX from DASoft. It's much smaller, easier - basically an ASCII text database with a GUI and incorporates CCPM (critical chain project management ideas). You can export to *.CSV file which can be imported into MS-P. PRO/LX is freeware and should be available at ftp.dasoft.com/pub/ somewhere.

I have a question on applying the Plastix Bonder. The crack in my unit doesn't afford enough room to follow the instructions. I can apply the Activator to both sides, but applying the Bonder to just one side is impossible! My last attempt didn't hold up to opening and closing the case afterwards, and I almost became permanently attached to my palmtop (if you know what I mean ;-)! I've considdered simply breaking the case appart so that I can cleanly apply the Plastix Bonder, but I'm not all that confident it will hold together (based on my previous attempt).

So now I have what amounts to TWO cd drives. Software has been installed from one or the other. Unfortunately, I don't always remember which software wants which drive (h: or i:) for its cd-data-disk. Also, sometimes when I'm playing music in one, I would prefer the other to be used for a data cd. It would be very nice to be able to convince either Win98 or the software seeking the data to try BOTH cd drives, kind of like a CD SUBST routine. Anybody aware of any utility that can help this. It would operate more like a path statement. If the data was not on one drive, it would try the other drive.

Two similar product, one called Tenax and the other distributed by Plastistruct, are available at hobby shops. The are a solvent, rather than a glue, so it will work best where you can squeeze the crack together after applying a _very_ small amount of the solvent. Use a toothpick or needle to get a small drop, for example, or use a thin hypodermic needle. These solvents are nasty chemicals, so don't get them on your skin and use plenty of ventilation. Another product to try, if the crack is wider, is a gap filling cyanoacrylate (AKA "SuperGlue"). You can also get gap filling CA glues at hobby shops. With any glue, be careful not to get it on the outer sutface of the case, as this can cause a blemish. Also, be careful not to apply too much so that it gets into the hinge itself. -----Original Message----- From: Constant Brouerius van Nidek Ýmailto:constant@INDO.NET.ID¨ Sent: Friday, November 17, 2000 9:18 AM To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU Subject: glues for crack Just having found a fast growing crack on my unit I am delighted to hear that in the future we may have spare lids been made ;-) But I would not like to keep my breath and want to know which glues have been used so far with good success.

My crack first appeared after about 6-8 months of heavy use. I stressed the crack a little to open it up, applied a scant amount of Krazy Glue with the point of a straight pin, relaxed the lid to close the crack and held it in place for a minute or so...the crack has remained closed for going on 3 years now. The only thing "tricky" about the repair is not to use too much glue, or it will ooze out of the crack & not look to pretty. My repair is barley noticible. I expect any cyanoacrylate glue would work, but the liquid might work better than the gel type...YMMV Cheers...AJKind 5h58m41s ago ...

I just upgraded my Symantec System Works Pro and I think I remember seeing that they have a new utility that will do what Partition Magic does. I've used Partition Magic for years with never a problem and I've had many problems with Symantec's programs. I trust PM to do it right. I don't think it's something to avoid. I think it's one of my essential tools. Last month I needed more room in my E: partition and I had plenty of room in C: (D: is the other drive) so I robbed 2 gig from C: to put in E:, did what I had to do, and then put 1 gig back in C: since I like having extra on the system partition. This is probably the slowest thing that PM can do. It has to move stuff around in both partitions to make room before it can adjust the sizes. But it only took about 30 minutes. The new version of PM also will do most work in Windows and not go to Dos. It does have to go to Dos to manipulate the partition that contains Windows.

You will have to use a separate Primary partition for each FAT if you want to avoid problems. These Primary partitions will not "see" each other. Typically, they would both be C: drives selected on boot-up. To move from one FAT to the other you would have to reboot.

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchial duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which she does not fancy. Your new prime minister (The rt. hon. Tony Blair, MP for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world outside your borders) will appoint a minister for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect: 1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminium". Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up "vocabulary". Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. Look up "interspersed". 2. There is no such thing as "US English". We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. 3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents. It really isn't that hard. 4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the good guys. 5. You should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen", but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get confused and give up half way through. 6. You should stop playing American "football". There is only one kind of football (proper football). What you refer to as American "football" is not a very good game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays "American" football. You will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football. Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like nancies). We are hoping to get together at least a US rugby sevens side by 2005. 7. You should declare war on Quebec and France, using nuclear weapons if they give you any merde. The 98.85% of you who were not aware that there is a world outside your borders should count yourselves lucky. The Russians have never been the bad guys. "Merde" is French for "shit". 8. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 8th will be a new national holiday, but only in England. It will be called "Indecisive Day". 9. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for your own good. When we show you German (proper) cars, you will understand what we mean. 10. Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 18 Nov 2000 06:47:11 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Nathalie Bugeaud Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Nathalie Bugeaud Subject: FLUFF cellphone lie detectors MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit CELL PHONES = HANDI = PORTABLE.... lie detectors Is your "loved one" working late tonight?

The problem is that you have to be "good with your hands" and be able to disassemble the whole unit. But you MUST have a tool which you can use to compress the spring in the right hinge. I have the actual tool (no I will not sell it- no not even S1,000 will do it! :-) ), but be live that a screw with some nuts of the right dimensions should do the job just fine...(not tested). Anyway, if you can disassemble the whole unit, then you take something sharp, like a needle, and scratch the area around the crack (from the inside)- just to make sure the glue have a good grip. Then you use a 2 component glue which becomes very hard when it's dry. Apply this glue on the inside and make sure you still can put the aluminum sheet (which is behind the screen) in place. Now you take the spring which was inside the right hinge and cut off a part of it. Here you have to be careful!!! If you cut to much, your screen will be way to easy to open- so it will not even stay in the position you put it in! If you cut to little, your glue will not help much and the crack will continue to grow! But if you start at the tip of the spring and cut it at about 100 degrees from the initial starting point- it SHOULD be OK... It's not easy to exactly explain how to do this, and I only recommend people which are highly skilled in these type of jobs to do this. If you are not, then you should contact Thaddeus Computing Regards, Jorgen Wallgren P.S. As you probably know by now, the problem is that the spring load is to heavy. Once it's lighter, the problem is solved. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 18 Nov 2000 16:36:24 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , b.newins@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bob Newins Subject: Re: Pentax MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Peter, Off to Mail Boxes Etc. this Sat AM.

Being new to the list, this is interesting information to me. My 95LX says "Insert card for drive B:...." when I make reference to B:, indicating it *is* behaving like a PC with single floppy-drive. I assume only being able to recognise a single slot is another limitation of the 95's version 1.0 controller. :-( BTW, how does the "DoubleSlot" adaptor work on the 200LX - does the palmtop's socket have a second set of "Card-Enable" signals besides the normal ones, which the adaptor reroutes passivly to it's own sockets? Or is there some "clever" circuitry in the DoubleSlot to produce the required enable signals? If the 100/200LX controller has the "untapped" ability to access a 2nd slot, is there any room internally to fit a CompactFlash socket (electrically compatible with PCMCIA, I think)? - Mark -- ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ | Free Internet E-mail and Usenet News | | / \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \ | +44 20 8654 2212 +44 20 8655 4412/1811 | | A R C A D E | Croydon UK - Fidonet#2:254/27.0 | | The Definitive Acorn BBS | http://arcade.demon.co.uk at weekends | ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 18 Nov 2000 13:12:31 -0800 Reply-To: hobchi@juno.com Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: hobchi Subject: Re: FLUFF Oxford English Dictionary Comments: To: Ken MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > 10.

If you happen to find a copy of the Oxford Reference library version 1 it has a DOS version of IBM's BookManager Read product. (Its the ISSC free reader version that is product linked.) I've found I can setup the engine on a pcmcia card and then copy only a book or two from the CD-ROM and hand edit the path and it works fine on my 200lx. The CD contains the Dictionary, and the Revised English Bible, complete works of Shakespeare, a couple of books of quotations and so forth. Very nice. It makes me want to find a copy of the Ellis "New Bible Library" The second edition that has IBM and ISSC listed as well. I should be able to do the same with it.

The BJC-80 can be set to Epson LQ mode by switching it on and holding the power button in until it has beeped nine times. There is also a DOS program to adjust the settings. I would have preferred a row of dip switches though. I know I'm successfully setting it to LQ mode, as I can print from the MC218 which does not support the BJC native mode. > Maybe you could swap your BJC80 for a BJC70 or buy > one. This isn't really an option, as this was supposed to be a low budget project. If I do decide to replace the BJC80, I will look for something with better photo printing abilities. The BJC80 isn't bad, but it's not quite good enough as my photos turn out slightly striped. It's only noticeable close up, but I know there are better printers out there. I suppose it will be a bit of a challenge to find a compact photo quality printer which will run off 12V (the batteries in my boat) without use of an inverter, has an IrDA-port and will work with both my MC218 and the HPLX as well as my Toshiba (I don't need IR from the Toshiba). Oh, and it has to be cheap too... Any of you guys know of a really good photo printer which has an external power supply rated at 12V or less? > Plus you need the IR to Centronics dongle > sold by H-P for their Deskjet 340 portable > printer. Actually, this is probably a better option than the built-in Ir-port of the Canon, as I could place the dongle next to the computer, rather than hold the computer up to the printer.

I suppose my next option should be to get the RS-232 to Centronics cable for the HPLX to see if I can print via cable to the BJC80. Anyone know where I can get one?

Nope. it is a small snap on that attaches to the the printer's parallel port. No cord. So you still need to hold the computer up to the printer. > Will the dongle work with any printer?

It uses the wattcp stack. I have done very limited testing on this version, 0.97. If a feature worked on a couple test servers, I moved on. DO NOT ASSUME that LXgFTP won't crash and take all your files with it. This is a major rewrite over the last released version, 0.91. Over half the code has been changed to some extent, but the modifications will make future updates much easier, and allowed a number of new features: - Longer file names, and names with spaces are handled (mostly). (The display is still limited, but the full name is used internally. There are some problems with some dialogs and messages. I'm working on this.) - Viewing remote files now works. - Links are now handled. (Tagged links are currently ignored.) - Link information is now displayed. - Linked files and directories can be copied. - Linked files can be viewed. - Remote directory information is now working. - ... and an assortment of bug fixes (and additions probably). A few features are temporarily disabled. - Remote directory does not sort with directories first. - When tagging, the selector does not automatically advance. NOTE: Most servers display file information in a UNIX like format, but some use a more DOS-like format. LXgFTP should work with both, but my test case servers for the latter have dissappeared, so I have been unable to test this with the modified code. If you know of any publicly accessible ftp sites that use other than the UNIX-like format, please let me know. The last stable version of LXgFTP was 0.91. If you haven't tried LXgFTP before, I would recommend downloading it from the site below. If you would like to test the latest version you can download it at http://www.technoir.nu/lxgftp/ . Bug reports and suggestions will be appreciated. The source code is also now available although it again needs a lot of rewriting and reorganizing. Ok, it's a mess ;-) but since you never know what might happen, I finally decided to put it out there as is just in case.

I'm not familiar with the S35i, but I take it that it has the modem. You might try using DataComm and manually going through the setup and dial sequence using AT commands. Real modems usually have an S-register that gives the cause of the last call closure, even if it is limited. It might tell you if you lost carrier, the other end explicitly closed the connection, or your 'modem' dropped it for some reason. The phone may support things it does not document, use the manual for a different modem to see how to interrogate S registers. Have a look at whatever script file you are using in GP to log in to the ISP. You can try emulating it by hand. I think there is also a debug option that you can add to the script file- if you've registered GP and got the manual it's in there...ah yes my script for logging into Compuserve starts with the word 'trace' on it's own. Thats shows the script run. However I find I have to video the screen to capture what happens, as it goes by too fast.

Maybe you can set up www/lx, where you see where it 'hangs'. I discovered that when one of my providers changed his hardware, I couldn't establish connections with my 14400 exp modem anymore, but I could with my normal Elsa Microlink on the desktop. With the 200lx and www/lx, it actually hang during lcp handshaking. Also, my 'fastest' providers does authentication within ~2 seconds, the slowest takes about 10 seconds (to verify my password).

I agree with Jon's suggestion of playing with deltree (carefully) to see if you can delete the oddball file/directory. Another solution is to pkzip the entire c: drive, then purge it ( deltree /y c:\ ), and selectively pkunzip the directories you want to restore. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2000 15:53:59 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jacques Belin Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jacques Belin Subject: Re: Goin'Postal and S35i In-Reply-To: <7CFAB8130F5FD411A14500D0B77FB6D21C658E@ukz834.ggr.co.uk> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Le Mon, 20 Nov 2000 10:46:08 -0000 "Brown, William" a =E9crit: > You may need to dig about a bit in the modem bit of the phone.

It is my belief that Oswald did not have the shooting skills or the intelligence to pull off anything.

In fact, the easiest possible task is to just copy the REX from the card to the HP200LX and back. The kicker is that we're talking about a raw binary format that is special to the REX card. Just copying binary REX data back and forth, I have been able to read and write both REX3 and REX5 units. Now, *interpreting* the data and actually using it in conjunction with the HP's built-in PIMs is another matter. I have written a program that lets you store your HP200's PHONE book data to the REX-3's CONTACTS section. There are some limitations, but it does function. I'm still working on the capability to get appointments transfered. I doubt I will ever get the REX-5 format figured out, unless someone subsequently releases it. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

However I'm still not sure if I can connect it to a network. I red the HPLX.NET faq, and it gave me a "warm & fuzzy" feeling that it somehow can. My home network consists of a Linksys router (running DHCP) connection to the Internet through cable modem. Within the firewall I have both Windows (NT & 2000) and Sun Solaris. What I want is to connect over TCP/IP to get my email, download newsgroup, and copy files to/from the Windows machines. I know the Accton Ethernet card is the one to get, but beyond that, the faq is not very clear.

It was a perfect size, had an outside pocket and an inside pocket and zipped around the top about 1/3 way down both sides. This one fits nicely in an inside breast pocket of a suit or sport jacket. There was an outfit in Canada that made a very nice HARD leather case with a swivel belt loop. I imagine if I searched very hard I might find the invoice. The owner had an hp200. I had him make me a custom and he added a bit more depth to the bottom to hold two extra AA batteries! The palmtree case is starting to show its age after 6 or 7 years, I'd guess. Maybe more. Is the Mr Palmtop case available or viewing on the web? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2000 02:40:31 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , fjkaufman@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "F.

But you can read the card? The 100 is slightly quirky or different when it comes to recognizing some cards. Oh, wait, you might try using d:\bin\fdisk100 to setup the card and then follow that with a format operation. If that fails - You might try finding a laptop and formatting it there then try it in the 100. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2000 21:00:57 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Timothy P.

Yes to all three questions.

Checking the archives, Dave Sargeant and Mitch Hamm both talk about using XFS180 to connect to NFS servers and map the remote drives on the palmtop. By the way, haven't heard from Dave for a while. Is he still around? The networking FAQ could really use an update. Another option for connecting to the windows systems is at lxmnc.hplx.net if you have IPX/SPX configured on your systems. Or of course you could run an ftp server on your windows systems.

And, with my > line modem, it works perfectly with 19200b(modem) - 9600 (s35) that reveals the question, if you use the correct phone number to access your ISP through GSM. In general, you cannot use the same number as with landline connections. Ask your GSM provider for the correct number. In Germany you may only access very few ISPs through GSM, unfortunately none of the cheap Call by Call ISPs. Another reason, why you cannot connect, could be, that your GSM provider does not allow for data calls. That problem existed in Germany for month. You could only connect to the internet in some regions of the country, because they used different software in their base stations. I've been to France in January and was not able to get a data connection with any of the French GSM providers. But 11 month later...maybe. If you manually dial the phone number you want to connect to on your S35, you should hear the modem sounds. But that has no meaning at all, because you were setting up a "speech connection", which has nothing to do with a "data connection" which is, what you set up, if you let the modem dial. Note: Using a GSM phone to acces the net is not just the use of a GSM modem instead of a landline modem. It is a completely different thing on every level.

It sounds to me as if the suggestion you got from Tech Support *was* a firmware upgrade. Just make sure you run it on a computer with a compatible PCMCIA adaptor. The one in the LX is not compatible with the Intel chipset, IIRC. Any portable (laptop) should do, probably.

Daniel, did you maybe try it? I tried GP before I bought WWW/LX -- i.e. a few years ago. But of course without any cellular phone. Sorry.

(I could not find this information on the Web). 4-Am I correct in assuming I can still unzip and store DOS files in ME, even if I cannot run them? What is the best sync solution available with ME for the hp200lx? 5-Has anyone attempted to downgrade to Win98 from ME? The idea is to preserve the Windows programs the PC comes with, instead of erasing everything and starting from scratch. I am not sure how helpful the included CD would be with a downgrade.

It is a completely > different thing on every level. The difference is, that with a GSM data connection, the analog modem on your side is not the phone itself, but there is a real analog modem in the switching station of the GSM provider which is connected to the modem of your ISO. Then the data that this modem gets from the "mdoem noise" is sent directly AS DATA via GSM to your phone and thus to your palmtop. That's the way a data connection via GSM works. If you dial the ISP's number with a cell phone and hear the modem noise, you are alling directly the modem of your ISP, without going through the modem of your GSM provider. But your cell phone cannot handle this noise, because it has no real modem built-in. For the palmtop it just looks like a modem, because it is a "virtual" modem in conjunvtion with the modem in the GSM provider's switching station. That's the background.

I think one obvious disadvantage of some of the other email clients like Pegasus, or PC-Pine, is the amount of drive space they use. For Pegasus I think it is about 700-800k, and PC-Pine was over 1mb. WWW/LX with Post, Goin' Postal, and LXTCP with PNR all take up much less room.

Mike: Since you seem to know about the PC-Pine program, could you comment on this? I have been looking for a *reader-only* version of Pine or Elm for some time, that can run on DOS.

It displays a user defined menu on top of your topcard or another background picture (see the screen capture) allowing you to pick whichever program you want to run. Menu items can call further menus to an almost unlimited depth. 200MNU has 3 modes of operation: - Outside of SysMgr: For large DOS applications which will not run under System Manager, you exit system manager (MORE-APPLICATION-TERMINATE) and can run the programs. Once outside System manager, the blue keys are all active and will call the System manager application related to that key by restarting System Manager, so for example, pressing the FILER key will automatically launch System Manager and go straight into FILER. Also in this mode, if an alarm becomes due, 200MNU can automatically act on the alarm by going into System Manager, which will then display your alarm message. - Under SysMgr: you can use 200Mnu to collect similar applications into folders or call the menu system to select the DOS application you want to run. Once you have selected the application and run it, you can either return directly to system manager (close the DOS BOX) or return to 200MNU. - Under MaxDos (called from System Manager), 200MNU works similarly to under DOS. 200MNU automatically recognises under which system it is running and each of the three operating modes can have its own independant set of menus, or you can have one set of menus no matter under which system you are running. 200MNU runs applications with almost NO MEMORY OVERHEAD AT ALL. Once you select the application you want to run, 200MNU exits and calls a batch file which runs your application. Thus there is a dos memory "cost" of about 40 bytes which is what you have to "pay" for running a batch file! This means that 200MNU is also useful for installing and uninstalling TSR programs (such as LAPLINK) as well as running a series of programs in a specific order. 200MNU supports calling applications using DOS redirection <> and piping | 200MNU uses a derivation of the Palmtop Application Library to display user friendly menus, using the same large text fonts as the built-in applications. 200MNU uses a text file to define the menu system, which makes defining and modifying menus fairly simple and straight forward (IMHO). WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 3 - When starting up, in MSDOS mode, 200mnu can optionally check if the time has been reset and open a dialog box to modify the time. Also you can set whether you want to allow charging of rechargeable batteries. - You can decide not to have a background picture or allow 200mnu to choose at random from a selection of background pictures. - When you want 200mnu to call a batch file to run your program, the batch file can be written as a section in 200mnu.ini. - You can set the graphics display mode for each program in 200mnu.ini. All the Hp200LX graphics modes are supported. - Multiple main menus are supported by calling m.bat with a menu name parameter - 200MNU can return to system manager when an alarm goes off. - Under Application Manager, 200mnu can select an item once and return or stay active. -------------------------------- A couple of weeks ago I sent a new version of 200MNU (version 3.0) to the SUPER site for inclusion in the software list there, but I havent seen or heard anything from them. So I have opened up an web site on geocities for 200MNU (and some other stuff which I will put there soon) at: http://www.geocities.com/david_becher ----------------------------=----------------------------- David Becher Home: davidb@netmedia.net.il Work: davidb@cimatron.co.il +972 3 5747193 +972 3 5312136 www.cimatron.co.il ----------------------------=----------------------------- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 17:12:19 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , kopplin@TECHNOIR.NU Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mike Kopplin Subject: Re: Pegasus (was: Re: Goin'Postal and S35i) In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Wed, 22 Nov 2000, Theodore Heise wrote: > On Wed, 22 Nov 2000, Chris Lott wrote: > > Since you seem to know about the PC-Pine program, could you comment on > > this?

Read the pnr doc, or the pnrfaq, it's in one of those. I looked for something onetime and found another program that will work with unix standard mail files, reread.exe (http://www.inti.be/hammer). It does run on the palmtop, maybe a little slow. It does a lot besides just read email though, and it's probably overkill for that purpose. Never found anything I liked, so for the few times I've needed to read one, I just use less. Any text editor or viewer will work. The standard unix mail folders are just text files. You don't get a list of Subject lines, but I just use the search function to find what I need. Actually, it shouldn't be that hard to write a program that would mimic the reader only functions of Pine.

I use Transfile under 95, and have used it under 98 and NT before at work. What is going or not going to work under Windows can be a toss sometimes, though I usually can make something work if it is supposed to work, given enough time.

But it really does more than just touch the timestamp. A file consists of a bunch of data records, and a lookup table with pointers to each record. When a file is open, the LX holds the lookup table in memory, so the file that's on the disk will be re-saved with no lookup table. If you were to make changes, then it can save time by adding new records onto the end of the file, and not have to shift everything after it in the file (the lookup table must be the last thing in a file if present). Also, this way the file is closed out at all times, so if there is a crash, you won't lose your data - it can rebuild the lookup table. Then when you close the app, the lookup table is written onto the end of that file.

I had subscribed to the list with pegasus and the list server was rejecting my posts from other email programs. Apparently pegasus handles email addresses differantly. Anyway, I am try to setup the Startac 7868 phone with my 200LX and am having problems with WWW/LX. The phone setup seems to work with Datacom ok. When the phone is connected thru com 1 I can type at and get an ok and I can also dial out and log onto my isp alright. But when I try to run www/lx I get alot of modem not ready errors, then when it starts the lcp negotations it stalls about halfway through and just hangs up with a "lost connection to server". WWW/LX is really slow during the negotation so it could very well timing out. I have put slowmodem=1 in the www.cfg file but it makes no differance. I have the speed in www/lx set at 9600 and am using atx2 for the intialization string. I know I can connect at that speed with my ISP since I have connected with a 2400 baud modem at times. I am also using a handbuilt null modem which according to a previous post matches the pinout of the black HP null modem, pins 2 and 3 swapped and the rest straight thru. Does anyone have any suggestions that might help me get connected?

I set it up with Lotus 2.4 for Dos and DataPerfect. It works very well. With a color monitor you can see the charts in color which makes them much easier to read. In fact, I installed 2.4 and DP on the palmtop and use those instead of the built-in programs. It makes it alot easier to transfer information back and forth between the desktop and palmtop. Plus, since I use Lotus 2.4 I can use expanded memory and open very large charts. When I used the built-in lotus anything over a couple years was too big and I'd run out of memory.

Since the serial port specs of the palmtop are different from standard RS232 (not 12 V signal level, but significantly less - abt. 6V!), the circuit has to be different also. In the schematics from Misiek, the power for the whole circuit is taken from the RS232 port of the computer. That's not possible in our case, because the palmtop doesn't provide enough power on the port. I tried this and it is indeed not possible. Additionally, you would need this 78L05 thing which is at least as big as a standard transistor, so the whole ciruit would be larger than necessary. My circuit is powered by the phone. I don't know exactly about the DCD line. I connect it to +3V, as well as DSR and CTS. Since I don't know exactly what DCD does, I simply tried with and without connecting it and somehow I found that the circuit only works with DCD connected. But maybe it also works without DCD connected. I don't know for sure.

Of course you need to start from the DOS prompt (use the DOS Luke...) so you would need to boot from a floppy that would give you a command prompt. You need to be able to get to your OS set-up files so if they are on CD you need CD drivers on your boot disk. Get into the directory with the set-up files and type: setup /__ The key is the /__ switch which will install the OS without affecting any installed programs. As I recall the proper switch was /nd but it's been half a year since I did this. If I can find my notes I'll confirm.

If datacom is working, then your null modem is probably fine. I am definitely far from an expert, having gotten the Motorola Timeport phone last week. I, also, had initial troubles and I think mine were associated with Software Carousel (SC) and possibly Buddy and a locked (or at least, on/off again locking serial port). I had similar problems with accis and the timeport. I used some lx tools for tweaking/toggling the serial port and still it remained closed!!! And I was able to also use datacom but not these DOS based programs. I finally did get connected and downloaded some messages using both accis and www/post. So just some questions to think about and maybe answer so that others will know more about your situation. So where are you using www/lx? In SC? Under Maxdos, under sysmgr? Are you using NOfiddle to work around the serial port in dos issues? I also futzed with the init string and finally settled on AT&f1 instead of the no dialtone one. There are some other folks using this combination who hopefully will help. By the way, what do you think of the Startac? I am beginning to wonder about its facility as a web-phone and particularly for email since it contains no ability to store email addresses. I gather Nokia and others have vcard capability which does store more contact information than just phone numbers, giving the ability to use stored email addresses. And I gather they also have the ability to "type" out incomplete words, like D&A's quick/lx, helping to deal with the limited keypad. Ah, well, I digress enough for this message. Good luck futzing around, I'm sure you will get the Startac up. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2000 15:21:43 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Lars Hedstroem Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Lars Hedstroem Subject: Cross linked files MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi When I run chkdsk I get a message that I have crosslinked files,I know = there is a command to correct this but I have forgotten it,can anyone fresh up me memory?:) Lars ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2000 09:23:47 +1300 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , lodger@NZ1.IBM.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Roger Whitmarsh Subject: Re: Leather cases for 200LX?

I puzzled over this a while ago, but didn't get to an answer. I was trying to use the TRUENAME function in a batch file, and it gets very messy. I looked at it again today and came up with a nice clean solution. It does involve an external program called Strings from PC Magazine, but it is only 14k and does a number of useful things in batch files. You can download it at ftp://ftp.zdnet.com/pcmag/1992/1222/strings.zip I put strings.com in a directory in my search path along with the following batch file. REM hv.bat @echo off set fname= if ""=="%1" goto runhv strings fname = TRUENAME %1 :runhv c:\apps\hv\hv.exe %fname% The third line clears fname from previous. The fourth line skips over the TRUENAME stuff if you start hv without a file. The fifth line puts the TRUENAME of the file you specified into the environmental variable fname. The last line runs HV with the fullpath filename. HV is not in my search path, so I specify the full path for it. If it was, it might conflict with hv.bat.

I like the Startac so far. The phone itself is very compact and has a very nice battery life. I was very impressed with the web capabilities (its probably easy for me to be impressed though since I've been using an old 550 flip phone for the past 7 years:-)), but am not using it for reading email on the phone itself. You are right about that it is very limited in that aspect. I mainly need it for the phone part, the web part is just an added bonus. I use the financials mostly although getting the weather and plane flight info is nice. As far as WWW/LX I am running it on Software Carousel. I have post set up by itself in one window and www/lx and hv set up to run in another window on hdm. The serial port is untouched by any tsrs that I am using that I know of. I don't even turn it off in system manager. By the way I just tried lxtcp and it ran just fine. Logged on well using the phone and downloaded all my email. Its odd www/lx isn't working. I changed the initialization string to at&f&c1&d2 which is what I used with lxtcp but it made no differance. I am using pap logons to my isp. Thanks for the encouragement.

In total I have 9 virtual palmtops defined - one is dedicated to POST/LX. The extra memory is provided by a TREMM swap file (~8meg).

Everywhere else I use Stefans autocaps. SETCOM helps me detect hardware configuration of online connection and automatically sets init string, port and tel no. The init string is ALWAYS AT&F (for PCMCIA and cellphone). Only in office and hotel landline connection environments do I have to use a AT&FX3 in order to get an immediate outside line. That's it :) Easy (g) If there is need I can expand more. Cellphone connection works fine here.

Even a 14.4k modem would be fine. I have found battery operated modems hard to find. I know of 2 solutions. 1. There is on the internet a site which explains how to modify the PALM modem so that it will work with the HP200LX, but you need to be a bit of an electronic handyman to doit. 2. I have found that some external modems will work on a standard alkaline 9V battery. I use an external Modem from Australia called "Modem98" and when neccessary I just plug a 9V battery into it and download my email that way. It is obviously limited but works in a pinch. I also made a small adaptor which allows me to plug the modem into my HP200 power adaptor, converting the -12V from the HP adaptor to +8V for the modem, so that at work when I need the modem I can use it without having to carry around 2 wallwarts. ----------------------------=----------------------------- David Becher Home: davidb@netmedia.net.il Work: davidb@cimatron.co.il +972 3 5747193 +972 3 5312136 www.cimatron.co.il ----------------------------=----------------------------- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2000 10:53:40 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Michael Berrier Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Michael Berrier Subject: Re: FLUFF: Who Killed JFK?, Was: Oxford English Dictionary In-Reply-To: <3A1B2160.5EC349F9@freeport.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit this is America : you will never get the truth, it's always some else responsibility !!

The Startac has a special connectivy cable which is supposed to connect from the propreitary startac connector then directly to the computer com port. Since we have to use the HP serial cable to connect to the com1 port I'm wondering if its inherant null modem connections may be messing with the DTR, dsr and cts, rts signals since if the startac cable swaps pins 4 and 6, and, 7 and 8, the Hp cable swaps them back if you use the black null modem to connect the two cables. Does anyone have a pinout of the Startac connectivy cable? I haven't been able to get any info from motorola. Actually does anyone know where to get a custom cable built? It would be nice to bypass all this serial to null modem to serial bushwa and have a nice short cable that connects directly from the phone to the LX. Shier used to, do they still make custom cables?

It is quite a bit like batset but is more advanced. I wrote it because I wanted a TSR charging controller that would charge 1600 mAH batteries without me having to reenable charging halfway through the charging cycle. But it works with all sizes of batteries. I sent it to super to be included but they haven't done it yet and I don't know when they will. Would anyone be interested in checking it out? The entire file with the document is about 10k zipped (the program itself is only 2k) so it would be a simple matter for me to email it to anyone who's interested.

Maybe there are also other software packages for linux which are distributed with source code from which you could derive more information about the Rex's data formats, even the formats of the Rex5.. The trex-0.31.tar.gz link on the same web site seems to be a utility for the Rex5.

Daniel: I haven't visited this particular site, but I'm familiar with the Linux package you refer to. These programs indeed talk to the REX, I believe over the serial port using the docking station. However, the "format" descriptions for this package are simply the file format that the Linux program uses as input/output. While they obviously bear some resemblance to the actual Rex format, they are of very little help in decoding the internal Rex binary data format. For some reason, this detail is still being held *very* closely by the Xircom/Starfish people. -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit My palmtop recently began acting up. I have a 32MB 2x 200LX with a Simple Tech 160MB flash card. First the C-drive appeared to be corrupted... it disappeared one day. Mack tells me he has seen this happen with battery swaps when the AC adaptor was unplugged, although I had not done one recently. So, I go ahead and re-initialize my 32M C drive, and start to initialize the Software Carousel program. However, about this time I began to have weird lock-ups which I tracked to corrupt files on my A-drive (the flash disk). I have done repeated CHKDSK and found all sorts of crosslinked and bad files on my disk, even invalid directory entries. I have come to the tentative conclusion that my C-drive corruption probably came from one of my corrupt A-drive programs gone amuck, and that my flash card has gone south. Before I go too far down this road, however, I thought I would ask the list if anyone has any another plausible explanation of this set of circumstances. I suppose that the flash disk could indeed be good, and just some hardware on my 200LX is bad, for example. Is there a hardware diagnostic program, such as were available back in the XT days that I can run on the HP to check out the hardware? (I do have the check program from Times2Tech that checks the 32MB of extra RAM). Any way to salvage the ST flash, if indeed it is going bad? We used to have SYS drivers you could load that would keep track of bad disk blocks.... anything similar available for flash disks? FYI, I am at the point where I have an apparently good C drive 32MB, but cannont run SC without things locking up (because, I think, the SC files and/or other utilities I run from autoexec are corrupted). I can boot clean and most of my A drive is accessible, although a good bit of it is corrupt. When I try to run chkdsk /f, I get the error message that there is not enough room on my disk to finish saving all the file????.chk files. Any advice or suggestions appreciated. Unless someone has some revolutionary solutions, I'm getting ready to get a new flash disk (SanDisk this time).

PGP for Windows used to come with a program called PGPDisk that worked very much like secdev. It creates virtual drives (even show up in the Device Manager), and encrypted partitions stored in files assigned to those drives. Seems to work well as well. The current version of PGP for Windows doesn't include this utility (but it can be bought as add-on). You can still get the older version of PGP at the International PGP home page: http://www.pgpi.org/products/pgpdisk/ There is apparently also a hack to get PGPdisk working with the latest release of PGP, but I didn't investigate.

I have read your charge.doc file and have the following questions:- (1) You mentioned that Charge will automatically enable charging when the battery level is low enough. This assumes that the LX is connected to the AC adaptor all the time. What if the charger is not connected and switched on? What kind of message will we get? (2) If the charger is connected to the LX and switched on, what if the battery's voltage is not at the preset low level yet? Will your program prevent any charging until the low level is reached? (3) Does your program go into a slow charge mode after completion of the fast charge cycle? (4) I do not quite understand your formula for:- "/vdd Where dd is a whole number from 0-63. To find the number use the formula .0275*V1+1.57=V2 where V2 is the desired voltage to start charging."

I am right-handed, but like you, hold the LX in my left hand and open it with my right hand. Once the case is open a bit, I place my right thumb just above the right end of the hinge "tube" to open the screen further. To close the screen I place my thumb on the hinge tube and press the lower part of the cover with my index finger. The idea is to apply torque as close to the right hinge as possible, which I believe may reduce the stress that causes hinge cracks.

When the batteries reach that voltage the box that enables charging in the system manager setup program is checked and charging is enabled in the bios. When there is no ac adapter connected there is no charging message because it is not charging. But when you connect the ac adapter you get the normal charging starting message that flashes across the left upper corner of the screen. Would you prefer having a message that says charging enabled when it enables charging? > > (2) If the charger is connected to the LX and switched on, what if the > battery's voltage is not at the preset low level yet? Will your program > prevent any charging until the low level is reached? If you have manually switched on charging thru the hot key or thru system manager setup the charging program will not prevent charging from starting. Basically all the program does is monitor the level and start charging at automatically, so you don't have to. It doesn't prevent a person from starting charging when you want because a person may need to top off batteries > > (3) Does your program go into a slow charge mode after completion of the > fast charge cycle? Not yet. With the larger capacity batteries the slow mode isn't really needed so I haven't been in a hurry to add it. When I upgrade it it'll work like the built in charging system, fast for the user setable time then it'll drop into slow mode until charging is manually stopped or the AC adapter is disconnected in slow charging mode. > > (4) I do not quite understand your formula for:- > "/vdd Where dd is a whole number from 0-63.

V1 is the rounded number ( basically rounded because charge cannot accept decimal points) that you would use with the /v switch. I did it this way to keep the code at a minimum. Just plug the formula into solver decide where you want charge to automatically start charging put that into V2 and solve for V1 round it either up or down whichever you prefer and plug it into the /v switch.

After spending something like 5 years on my palmtop, I think I have finally found a palmtop truly befitting to take over my 200LX. But before I make the plunge, I want to hear opinions on my swap. The reasons why I want to change from the 200LX to the N9110 is: 1.) Backlight! 2.) MobileData facilities without needing to worry about seperate devices 3.) UNofficial DOS support (it is a AMD 486 chipset running GEOS 3.0; a 9110 "version" of Peniel exist there with his miniscular program size programming skills and made a "start to DOS" addon) 4.) Cheap memory upgrades (it is based on MultiMedia Cards, now with 64Meg cards at about USD300++) 5.) Strategic concealment purposes. 6.) A wonderful community and mailing list like the 200LX, just that the messages are like 1/3 the volume here... 7.) "hackable" serial connection to allow for external 56k modem connections (now that's where Thaddeus beta test pocket modem might end up in my Christmas shopping list... :) ) 8.) Way cool "netmonitor" facility on the N9110 HP and palmtop unit on which one can tell where you are by referring to the basestation before correlating it to a locations list. What I don't really like is: 1.) The battery life is pretty short, due to the sharing of power with the HP and the palmtop, not to mention the battery has a chronic "looseness" problem. 2.) The lack of native applications (Database and other bric a brac are all payware...) 3.) No PCMCIA support 4.) Costly GPS support (I *THINK*) coz they have some corporate version with SMS facilities to tell the HQ where the unit is by msging the GPS coordinates. 5.) Lack of "hackable" things like double speeding the 486-33 to a 66... 6.) Lack of Dualband 900/1800 facilities (only 900 for now, but the new 9210 which runs on Symbian has... but I don't want a power sucking TFT screen and a weird RISC based OS..) Does anyone who has experience on this care to share my ideas with me? Thanks. PS. BTW, I am still gonna keep my 200LX...

Of course any color screen would have to work in bright sunlight. And it would have to fit in the pocket and not a jacket pocket either.

Its not a problem with a backlight itself there are problems removing the reflective layer on the lcd. The lcd is very prone to damage and nobody would want try modifing unless they could be sure there would be no mistakes. lcds are in short supply. I donno if thats been solved.

The default should be 2 serial ports and 1 parallel port. (2) Next, after the PC boots up, go to Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager -> Ports If there are two COM ports listed, check the Properties for each to ascertain whether the device is working properly (under General), and whether there are any conflicts (under Resources), and take note of the address and IRQ (Interrupt Request). (3) You would also need to check whether you have have the physical COM port at the back of your PC, whether 9-pin or 25-pin. The standard addresses and interrupts for COM ports are as follows:- COM 1 3F8 IRQ 4 COM 2 2F8 IRQ 3 COM 3 3E8 IRQ 4 COM 4 2E8 IRQ 3 This means that if something is using COM 2, you cannot use COM 4 and vice versa, as they share the same IRQ. The same goes for COM 1 and COM 3. In the Transfile Win200 program, you can set the correct COM port and speed under HP Palmtop -> Serial Communications.

I got a mail from european support, that I maybe need a upgrade for the card if its CIS is not yet version 2.0, but I checked the version number with accopen and debug, and it is version 2. already. (this is not possible to do in the HP, you need a compliant PCMCIA slot for this) The problem is, that loading the driver ETHPCM.DOS from Roger Whitby's page gives an error. "Socket Service function Error occured Driver initialization failed." The only hint I have is that if I check my card with the ACCTEST.EXE I get an ID-Error message. (checksum error) I have the impression that most drivers do not care about this, but maybe the ethpcm.dos driver does. My mail to Roger has no reply until now, and Accton europe did not reply either. The mail to Accton USA was sent yesterday, so I do not expect an answer before 2morrow :-) If you want to check your own Accton card, I have put the ACCTEST.EXE on my homepage. www.qsl.net/oe9fwv/Acctest.exe best regards, Werner -- Powered by Pegasus Mail - free at http://www.pmail.com Homepage: http://www.qsl.net/oe9fwv SMS: +436646340014@text.mobilkom.at ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2000 08:50:10 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Feldman, Robert" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Feldman, Robert" Subject: False "Insufficient Memory" error on the 95LX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" I am trying to use my copy of LetterPerfect 1.0 (a version of WordPerfect 5.1 for laptops and computers with limited resources) on my 1MB 95LX, but LP reports that "The program is too big to fit in memory." LP requires only 330KB, and I have more than 600KB available. I have the maximum amount of RAM allocated to DOS as opposed to the RAM drive. I suspect that LP is seeing the full 1MB RAM and counting that above 604KB as a negative number, thus giving the false error. My question is: Does anyone know of a way to set something (say in Config.sys or an environmental variable) to make LP see only 640KB? Failing that, does anyone know what I should look for in DEBUG to patch LP to bypass the memory check (say a call to an INT with a jump that I can change to a no op)? Robert A.

Beta testing what I worked on designing. No I worked on the design. Worked on selecting the transflective layer worked on connecting the backliting board to the HPLX, deszigned it so it could be turned on and off from the keyboard (with Joe Bufords help in finding the right pin on the CPU). Designed a backliting board. I had to quit because of illness. There were alot of people involved. Stefan P. wrote the software TSR so a person could turn it on and off. Mack B. had the final board design and was going to build the driver board. David S. was involved in the whole thing. Thaddeus was going to install and distribute. Shame it was canceled because of a simple thing like removing the reflective layer. I thought it was far enough along to succeed. I prefer both screens, the backlit screen looks great to me. Unless there is very low light I find it perfectly useable and the backlite makes up for times its not. What I meant is the situations where backliting is required for me are so rare that backliting is superflous. Otherwise I would have put backlighting on both my LXs. Others may have differant requirements. Unless I am using the LX in pitch dark it never comes on. > > > > 2.)

First you need a source for an EL panel, I used a Gunze (ELTech) cyan panel. Next you need a souce for the 3M RFC transflective film, and the 3M diffuser or some other thin film diffusing panel. Be sure to use a diffuser that passes at least 90% of the light. Next, you will need Sipex 4422 or 4423 inverting chips, either 150 pF or 180 pF chip capacitors (depending on which you use and how bright you want your backlight and how much current you want it to draw) a .1uF chip cap and a way to draw and etch a small circuit board. Depending on where you want to install the circuit board can make a professionally made board attractive, I installed mine right on top of the motherboard but if you decide to put it in the hinge the traces get too small to draw. A 10 mH Hitachi Metals coil will also be needed (others will work, the LX limits the physical size of the coil but there are ways around it). It gets more complex, is it worth continuing or am I just wasting bandwidth?

Something like that. Re (2), I am thinking about the automatic aspect of your program. Am I correct to say that if we do not manually enable charging, the charging will only kick in when the preset low voltage is reached, even though the adaptor is connected and switched on. Re (3), not all of us are using 1600mAh NiMHs in our palmtop. I am using 1300mAh NiMH, while others might be using NiCds. At the moment, I am comfortable with Peniel Romanelli's Charge-It! where fast charge is followed by slow charge.

Hal, I thought the LX serial port was driven by an equivalent 8250 chip. I thought this older UART restricted the max serial data rate, especially on a 1X LX, and would be a bottleneck to a fast modem's ability to run a top speed. Fast PCMCIA modems work because they supply their own fast(er) UART and don't rely on the LX's. I use external modems for most of my connections on my 1X speed LX. I haven't tried it recently but I seem to remenber that I couldn't take max use of my USRobotics Courier V.Everything modem. I now dedicate a 14.4K USR Sportster to the LX that Seems to match my LX's capability. I second Hal's question though. Can anyone verify or disput my "assumptions"? Cheers...

Possible and a very nice idea, although I don't want too much bloat in the program:-), I'm not Microsoft:-). Problem is the LX screen is so small and most of it is used already except in dos.

You are correct. If a person wanted to have charging enabled all the time they could always set the start voltage high like to 3 volts. Its possible but why would they want to do that? If it is set high like that the charge will never terminate. > > Re (3), not all of us are using 1600mAh NiMHs in our palmtop. I am using > 1300mAh NiMH, while others might be using NiCds.

Hmmm...the reason I haven't enabled slow charging yet is its really not needed with the higher (over 1000 mAH) as long as the battery get a full timed fast charge since the fast charge is pretty much a trickle charge to them. The LX's fast charge is only 1/13C to your batteries. But I plan on implementing it soon since with the lower capacity like 700 or 800 mAH NiCads can use it. Once trickle charging is enabled it'll be possible to disable fast charging and just leave trickle charging on.

Most laptops come with a recovery CD that you boot from and it restores C: to exactly the way it came from the factory. Well, that's how mine works on my Thinkpad. It ignores other partitions. If you try downgrading to Win98 and it doesn't work out, the recovery CD should take care of that. I guess I'd check and see that that's how Compaq's recovery CD works first. I don't have much recent experience with Compaq computers (nothing in the last 5 years) but I know from long past experience that Compaq support says it can't be done if it's not something they have on their list of possible things. I've done a LOT of things that Compaq says can't be done and it rarely took any extra effort. But some things really don't work.

Russ I can only speak of the Pcmcia part here, I use the EXP 56k thinfax modem and my serial speed is set to 115k. It works at this speed although WWW gives out a warning that it might be to high.The only problem I had was connection errors when I had the HP/LX connected to 12V with a switching power supply. The switching power supply made RF noise on the serial line. With my homemade linear power supply I had no problems. For the serial port I am not sure now, if it is possible to go higher without having errors on the serial line, but I can try tomorrow when I am at home again to connect my USR 56K. In my opinion it is not possible to run more than 19k2 on the DS and 9k6 on the single speed LX. But I give it a try.

Check with MEM to see how much memory is in use before trying to load LetterPerfect. If DOS + TSR's + etc. is less than 64k some programs fail.

I use my LX, and the newest Post/LX, to access CompuServe mail. I still GET mail (first the headers; then only the messages I select); but whenever I try to send anything, even a one word test message, it stops "Waiting for Hello from mail server" or similar text, then times out. It waits a long time before timing out; so I don't think increasing a "wait" value somewhere would do it. I also tried checking the box for "volatile" server in the settings (don't know if that means anything special, like a deliberate choice on the mail server side but) that didn't help. This is "new" with Post/LX (it used to work), so is CompuServe still changing? I remember reading something about the phases of change their email system would go through (I believe they said something about phasing out CompuServe classic ... just AOL's way of killing the good parts of a service, after they buy it out). TIA for any help, --tim PS. GP used to say something like "Polite people say 'HELO' first" (only one 'L'). I thought the program wasn't seeing the fact that I was registered, or something, and stopped using it. If someone knows how to fix this part of GP, that'd be nice too. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2000 10:55:42 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , John Musielewicz Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: John Musielewicz Subject: Re: Battery charging program Comments: To: =?ISO-8859-1?B?R/xudGhlciBFaXNlbGU=?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit > Hoi, > > 28.11.2000, 12:51, John Musielewicz wrote: > > >> Re (1), I think it will be good to have a message 'charging enabled' w > hen > >> it enables charging, and 'charger not connected' when it is not > >> there.

However, I couldn't see in any The rex cannot be a replacement for the LX! It is just a nice add-on for those of us who want either as small devices as possible or as much devices as possible ;-) (I belong to both groups, I think). The Rex is a read-only device. You can transfer your PIM data on it (with the LX, this data transfer is currently limited to the phone book and text files, the latter go into the Memo application of the Rex) and then you can read them on the road. If you don't use the LX to transfer the data but a laptop or desktop (via PCMCIA slot or serial docking station), you can also put appointments on it that come up with alarms and you can have a todo list. But you cannot enter data on the road into the Rex. Fur this purpost the Rex comes with a little bunch of paper sheets on which you can write your notes in order to enter them into the sync software at home. Since the Rex only has 5 keys to navigate through the PIMs, there is also no calculator included.

I have often wondered about this myself, applied in general to many PC applications, especially those originating in the DOS world. When I think about it, maintaining a program to work in DOS is a miniscule fraction of the effort required to make the same program work in the Windows environment. It would seem that a company selling a software package that was available in *both* Windows and DOS versions would have better sales, at what seems to me a minor extra investment in programming effort. Also, these days, DOS users are typically somewhat experienced, and such programs could be sold with very little support on the part of the seller. Even if the DOS versions were not atively marketed, I think such an approach would result in increased sales, since those who must use, or prefer to use, DOS are used to searching out their software these days. Well, just my $0.02 worth. I suppose I'm way off base, since I'm just an engineer, and don't know beans about sales and marketing. -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

Just tried that Ýadded the "POPFirst=1" to my Post.CFG¨. It added the feedback message "authentication" before Post/LX checked for headers. The program then behaved normally in getting headers, but gave me a message that said "could not connect to SMTP host" and then went back to "waiting for hello...." before timing out. I increased my time out to 75 seconds, but knew that it wouldn't help. I can still get and choose headers, downloading only the ones I want; deleting the rest, but it still doesn't send mail. I don't think CompuServe has changed their POP3 Server. I can use "www.mail2web.com" and get into my account, using "pop.site1.csi.com" which is what I've got in Post.cfg. I've also tried moving the "POPFirst=1" line around in the ÝMail¨ section, but that didn't change anything (I'd hoped it could be like a batch file and pay attention to order). Still tinkering.

Honestly, it was only 1600 words! I sent the original to Nicholas and Martin and written a shorter version for you guys. Nicholas Chan wrote (>): > the new 9210 which runs on Symbian has... but I don't want > a power sucking TFT screen Technology has moved ahead. Real life battery time may not be any less than the 9110. > and a weird RISC based OS..) Ouch! Somebody just stepped on my toes... :o) Well, you asked for it... The "weird RISC based OS" is the newest version of EPOC which in use on hundreds of thousands of Palmtop computers. This OS was specifically written for palmtops and is therefore optimised for the screen size. The touch sensitive screen is great too, it's so intuitive, when I first got my original Psion Series 5, I kept poking the pointer at my Toshiba's screen... :o) EPOC is a TRUE multitasking OS. Unlike the HP, you can have as many instances of each application running at the same time as you wish, within the limits of available RAM. The other day, when you guys were discussing how to have three databases open at the same time, I checked what was running on my MC218. I had 24 open applications. Six of them were different files open in the database application and on top of that, my Contacts file was open both in the Contacts application and in PhoneMan Pro. The computers that currently support this OS are (in order of appearance on the market): Psion Series 5 (4Mb and 8Mb) GeoFox 1 (discontinued) Oregon Osaris (Cheap, good keyboard, but too small screen) Psion Series 5mx (Identical to 5, but faster processor and 16Mb Ram) Ericsson MC218 (Identical to S5mx, but cheaper, more software and comes with an IR-modem for Ericsson cell-phones) German Series 5mx Pro (32Mb RAM, but comes with the OS on CD rather than ROM. Unfortunately, only the German version of EPOC is available on disk.) Psion Revo (tiny and sexy, but no possibilities for memory expansion) Psion Series 7 (colour subnotebook with built-in support PCMCIA modems) Psion NetBook (Identical to 7, but more RAM, faster processor and supports networking) Psion Revo plus. (Revo with 16Mb RAM and more software) The Ericsson R380 cell phone also runs EPOC, but that's really more of a phone with some basic palmtop functions and an e-mail application. There must be a couple of million EPOC based palmtops out there by now, and some very exiting new developments are expected within the next six months. The EPOC palmtops come with some very powerful onboard applications and there are thousands of shareware and freeware programs, including some very professional looking ones. There is also an XT-emulator so you can run DOS. One of the main reasons for the popularity of EPOC (in Europe) is the very powerful onboard programming language OPL which has brought many great programmers to this platform. Thanks to OPL there is also the very powerful Macro5 macro language. There are hundreds of Macro5 / Merlin compatible macros available for download from the net and of course you can write your own or even record them on the palmtop. Two of the most useful are ReplyEveryMail and SaveMail which make the e-mail application the most powerful I've ever worked with. I've been messing with computers since the early eighties, and EPOC is easily the most stable OS I've used. The computers are instant on just like the HP, and it's quite normal to go months without rebooting. When I bought my S5 three years ago, I felt a bit guilty about buying an expensive toy. Little did I know! My MC218 now runs my life! On top of all this, the Psion and Ericsson machines have great keyboards. I'm touch typing this message on my MC218 at about the same speed I used to have on a full size keyboard. The one thing to be aware of for any of you considering moving from the HP to EPOC is that apart from the NetBook, these computers don't support networking. They can, however access the Internet through an IrDA enabled cell phone, an external modem, the modem of your desktop PC and the Internet connection of your desktop. The CF slot only supports memory cards, but you can use a PCMCIA modem with the optional PCMCIA pod. If you need document compatibility with a desktop computer, you have a choice of converting with PsiWin which comes with the palmtop or nConvert (shareware) which runs on the palmtop. Synchronisation is reported to be good and stable with the newest PsiWin version, and there are also a couple of good third party solutions. The original Series 5 machines had some hardware problems, but they all seem to have been solved on newer models. Last, but not least, the Software Development Kits are free downloads from Symbian. While you may not want to write software, they come with an EPOC emulator for WindoZe, so if your palmtop breaks down or gets stolen you can still access most of your data. OK, that's it for now. I hope this wasn't too much EPOC hype for an HP list... :o) Owen -- * This e-mail was accelerated by EPOC and REM * * Then it was brought to it's knees by the Internet and GSM * Owen H.

TIA It's sort of like encryption. Instead of hiding your data in a securely locked file (like SecDev) you hide it in unused or unimportant bits as part of another file. One example: you trade JPG files back and forth with a friend. Anyone monitoring your traffic just sees the pictures; they don't notice the hidden data traveling within the files in those low importance bits that don't affect the picture quality at all (or very little).

I made it shareware so it and ABC/LX could compete on a honest footing. If a person doesn't register it however they will not recieve any upgrades automatically as they come out. There are a couple differances between charge and abc/lx that should be noted. One, charge can start charging anytime through a hot key. So you don't have to open a window or open setup to start charging. Two, abc/lx is limited to 16 hours of fast charge time which kind of sucks with the higher capacity batteries. Charge has no such limits so its ready for 1600 or greater batteries. Three if you used killmsg or some other program to turn off the palmtop while charging , with charge you will not reset the charge timer, like other programs. Charge uses a totallt differant timer for the charge and stall. Personally I consider charge to be more of an upgraded batset with many added features. However whatever program you use, if you try it I think you'll pleasently surprized at what has been packed into 2k.

There are other features in ABC/LX which are not included in other products, such as timers, and the handy display, as well as the ability to track the charge process, and auto-tune the process. The 1600mAh seems to be the limit for batteries, the vendor's claims to exceed that not withstanding. There is simply chemistry which seems to supersede the claims of manufacturers. If you check carefully, you will also find that the upper limit claims are the NOMINAL values, not the actual values, which are a lot smaller. Therefore, whle it seems to "suck" (your word, not mine :-) ...) the 16 hour limit is reasonable and more than adequate. While it is also true that you can drag a NiMH battery (and NiCds too) to as high as 2.98V during the charge, this is not a value that is supported by the chemistry of the battery. The chemistry supports voltages around 1.3V - not 1.5V. Even though you see the batteries at these stratospheric values, they last there for a tiny amount of time, and drop within minutes to their operating (realistic, practical) voltages, where they spend the most amount of time servicing you. You made a comment about killmsk resetting the the timer (but did not refer to ABC/LX). Just to make sure - killmsg does not reset ABC/LX's timers. Lastly, I have said it before and drew heat (flames) for it - I will risk it again: It seems to me that what we need is a product that makes me STOP WORRYING all the time about the batteries, not something that makes me spend MORE time on that task. ABC/LX was designed for that purpose - install it, calibrate it, adjust it to your usage patterns and batteries, and just forget the batteries. ABC/LX does EXACTLY that - by design.

Avi, interesting post. Yes, that is why I consider Charge.com to be an upgrade from Batset. It has some of the same abilities as ABC/LX such as checking the stall but I did not write it to do all the same things. ABC has its features Charge has its features. But they are pretty much meant to do the same things, set it up with your batteries and forget its there. Charge is pretty streamlined and meant to use as little memory and disk space as possible.

It depends on how low you run your batteries. I usually run mine into the low thirties. This means I need to run a much longer time than what I could with ABC.

At the low charging current the LX uses, trying to use a peak voltage to judge whethewr the batteries are fully charged doesn't work.

Novosad" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain My thanks to Stephan for his suggestions. Turns out that the problem was with my SRAM card, not LetterPerfect. The card is one of the 1.5MB Cards that Hal got with the 200LX's he bought from the Dutch Railways. Somehow, the card's format/FAT got messed up. I could copy files to it on my Toshiba Portege, but they were not showing up when the card was in the 95LX. LP did show, but wouldn't run properly, as part of it must haver been corrupted. I got out an old TMD-500 ThinCard Drive, vintage 1991, (bought on eBay) that I have and hooked it up to my old Compaq LTE/Lite 25 (a 386), reformatted the card, and copied LP onto it. LP now runs fine on the 95LX in Monochrome mode. (BTW: This model ThinCard drive comes up on eBay fairly often. There are Windows drivers that will work with it, but not reliably, I have found. That is why I attached it on my 386, so I could run it under real DOS.) There is additional good news/bad news, however. The good news is that the card, which is supposed to be 1.5MB, formatted at 2.04MB (CHKDSK reports 2,077,184 bytes). Works fine in both the 95LX and the Compaq. The bad news is that it appears unformatted to the Toshiba laptop, so I can't use the Toshiba to transfer files to the card. -----Original Message----- From: Stephan R.

LP requires only > 330KB, and I have more than 600KB available. There was a problem that surfaced when too MUCH memory was freed up with some programs. I don't know if this applies to you. Check with MEM to see how much memory is in use before trying to load LetterPerfect. If DOS + TSR's + etc. is less than 64k some programs fail. If you find this to be the case, use LOADFIX to (what else) fix the problem. And there is a BIOS location to show the "end of memory" available to an operating system. But worry about that only if "MEM /c" or "MEM /s" shows memory above 640k available. Did you ever get MODE to work?

Several people have posted using older versions of MS Word for DOS and also running MS Word for Windows (prehistoric version) in Windows 3.0 on the LX. Still others are fans of Word Perfect for DOS. Most of these mentioned are able to save to a format that's recognizable by Word97 to offer at least limited compatibility. Given that you have a DOS 5.0 machine running on an 80186 processor, there's no chance of finding anything that ensures complete compatibility with Word 97 (particularly imbedded graphics) .... there are various levels of document formatting that cross over well, but the word-smiths here can better comment on what works for them. There's also some software that converts the Memo format into RTF (rich text format) which is supported by Word97, and this may give you a measure of compatibility in terms of very simple features. It depends on how extensive your Word97-specific needs are. The RTF convertor is at the SUPER site -> http://www.palmtop.net/supernew.html Look for a program called DOCRTF. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2000 15:22:21 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Barry Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Barry Subject: Re: Why no DOS support?

If they sell it they'll be obligated to train people to support it and they probably don't have nearly enough sales to justify that.

It runs well on my double speed unit. Although it might not give me total compatability with Word 97 that I use at the office, I do realize enough to make it very useful for file sharing between the palmtop and the office desktop. I only have to use this level of compatability with my die hard Office 97 users at the office. For my tastes I prefer plain old ASCI txet. After all, I'm only interested in the data not the formating . To accomplish the transfer all that is needed is to save the Office Word 97 document to an ealier version, 1.1 in this case. Forget the forms that are created in Word 97. Don't even think about the photos you might have in a document. The data is what is important. I hope this answers your question.

At > least that's what's printed in the blue screen ... I think the important factor is the UART type in the LX. If it is an 8250 as I think it is then the important thing is it ONLY has a 1 character buffer (versus a 16 character buffer in a 16550 UART). An 8250 can run at the same speed as a 16550 UART but due to the much smaller incoming character buffer it is severly limited if the pc is doing something else and can't read that character before the next one arrives. In this situation the symptoms would be missing characters and the solution would be to drop the baud rate to give the pc more time to service the UART. The type of software running on the LX (comm, link, etc) will determine what the pc is doing and therefore how successful it will be in servicing an 8250 UART at high data rates. 'I think' a lap link type of program is easier to run at high connection rates than a comm program like WWWLX but I can't prove my assumption. Cheers...

(I think it could be a problem that is present in all cards of a certain release, but I am not sure) The serial nr. of my card is: 0002011254 For all who want to test their card with acctest.exe: this is possible in the palmtop without being connected to a network. The release of the firmware in the card can be easy checked with LXCIC. The recent version is 2216-1 R02. An update of the card will probably change the MAC - address of the card. (it was changed in my card!) If your card gives an ID-checksum error in Acctest.exe, in my experience the card works with the novel drivers but not with ethpcm.dos used for netbeui in a Win95 network. In some notebook computers with incompliant pcmcia slot or OS the Acctest.exe will not run, but as you all have a HP200, this will not be a major problem :-) Werner Thought for the day: The only thing that hurts more than paying income tax is not having to pay income tax. -- PGP-Key: http://www.qsl.net/oe9fwv/furlan.asc SMS: +436646340014@text.mobilkom.at Powered by Pegasus Mail - free at www.pmail.com ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2000 18:41:35 +0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , jorgen@PALMTOP.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jorgen Wallgren Subject: Re: 200LX compatibility with MS Word Comments: To: Nathan Olsen MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, I am running Microsoft Word 6.0 for DOS on my 200LX, so it's easy to save the Word documents in the proper format on your desktop and then be able to open up the documents on the palmtop.

The palmtop uses a 16450 compatible UART without FIFO buffer. Only the 16550A UART has a FIFO buffer. The Megahertz XJ14400 uses for example this chip. But the existence of a FIFO buffer by itsself does not speed up the transfer. The software has to enable the FIFO buffer and must use it.

Hi I have a Namezero "account". They offer redirecting, but also a pop3 access to the main account that you create there. I know this because I pop it every day. :-) Namezero has had problems in forwarding messages. Hopefully these problems are no more. I use several mailadresses. news@bergvill.com is forwarded to a Bigfootadress and filtered and then forwarded to another address. It works great.

Youm ay have better luck with old names such as Compuserve and AT&T. IBM was thought to be "permanent" but it sold Global to AT&T last year. Another, perhaps even better is having your own domain. If an ISP who hosts you gets wiped out, other ISPs can step in, and you still have the same domain name, same email address. I know nothing about POBOX.COM except that a friend of mine used them for many many years too, so I do not mean to throw mud on them, just something to consider. I went with a large ISP which also makes a living selling other communications gear and services, hoping they will be able to weather the market up and downs. So far, so good.

Beverly Howard wrote (>): > IMHO, if you need WYSIWYG Word on a PDA, > the best option is going to be a WinCE or PocketPC > machine where you can run PocketWord. "Best" is always a difficult word... Contrary to popular belief, the world does not revolve around Bill Gates. The Psion, Ericsson and Nokia devices that run the EPOC operating system have an excellent word processor (with outlining), a great keyboard (possibly not so great on the Nokia), lots of very powerful onboard software, and thousands of software titles available on the web for just about any imagineable task. All this runs under an unbelieveably stable multi-tasking OS. They also run Java. A Psion Series 5mx or Ericsson MC218 will run 2 - 3 times as long as most comperable WinCE devices on a pair of rechargeable penlights, and like your HPLX, if you run out of steam a long way from home, you can simply slip in a pair of alkalines and keep going. Another plus is that thanks to the unique design of the case and unlike many WinCE devices, the Psion and Ericsson machines don't fall over when you use the pointer on the touch sensitive screen. My Ericsson MC218 has 16Mb of onboard RAM which is dynamically shared between storage and program memory by the OS and I have an 80Mb CF card. I just counted and came to 32 installed third party applications not counting the built-in apps. Some of the most useful third party apps are: PhoneMan Pro. The most advanced cell-phone management and SMS program on any computer - period. Route Planner. Detailed roadmaps for Europe and North America (I don't have a car now, so I use it mostly as an Atlas.) CodeSafe. Secure encrypted storage of passwords etc. WAP. WAP browser. WAPing is a lot nicer on a big screen than messing with tiny phone screen. It's just a pity there aren't any really useful WAP sites yet... TomeRaider. A file reader for the TomeRaider format. I have amongst others the Oxford English Dictionary and the Hutchinson encyclopaedia. Try carrying the paper editions of those in your pocket... :o) nConvert. File converter for lots of different text and graphic file formats. Navigator: An advanced file manager with support for ZIP-files. Sort of a more advanced and easier to use WIndoZzzze explorer with WInZIP built in. Merlin: Task launcher and macro engine for the extremely powerful Macro5 macro language. ConvertPro. Very good and configureable unit converter. Contacts program, Calendar, E-mail, Web browser, Word processor, Spreadsheet, OPL programming language, Jotter, sound recorder and several more are of course on ROM.

Both give a choice of several different domain names, and at least at iname.com, the e-mail can be configured as webmail or forwarded to any e-mail address you like. I've been happily using iname.com for well over a year now, and moved between several different ISP's simply by changing the settings at Iname. When NetCom Norway's POP3 server crashed and was down for almost a week this summer, I simply changed the settings at iname.com and in my e-mail program and kept going like normal. No need to inform my contacts of a new e-mail address etc.. BTW, I'm at present redirecting my iname mail to an e-mail address / Internet account with www.lineone.com in the UK. I signed up via the web around a year ago. I've never actually dialled in to LineOne, I just use their POP3 server. The e-mail at LineOne is also available as Web-Mail.

Fred, If you're asking why you don't get offered a disk size for wav file steganography, it's because the "random" bytes of the encrypted volume replace the top 25% "random" high order bits (usually the hiss to very high harmonics) of the wav file. The volume size is fixed at 25% of the size of the wav file. If you want a bigger volume you must find a longer sound. I seem to remember there was a 50% option too. ---------- Chris Randle (chris@amlog.demon.co.uk) ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2000 23:11:33 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , steve@CARDERFAMILY.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Steve Carder Subject: Re: re-directing e-mail MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > Assuming that POBOX remains around forever...
