Subject: 200LX & PCcard brands Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi All, Does anyone keep an up-to-date list of PCCards that are known to work in the palmtop? The information I found on HPLX net are a bit outdated. It would be interesting to keep a listing of the 33.6/56K modems brands that are known to work properly in the palmtop (i.e. not to much power consumption). We could do the same for the large flash cards (PCMCIA or Compact flash with adapter) over 220MB, that work in the palmtop with proper driver (I khow Sandisk cards are working, but what about e.g. Synchrotech?). Also. more seldomly used cards (Ethernet, multifunctions...) might be of interest. If this kind information is not yet available on the net, I can try to put it together from individual replies to this message, and upload it on the HPLX ring. One side question. Does anyone have experience in making the palmtop communicate with a Casio QV 3000 digital Camera (by serial or IR port)? Serial seems easier (no IRDA pb.), but I guess some piece of software is needed on the palmtop side to handle the digital camera download protocol. I know there is something for Kodak Camera and if anyone knows exactly what it does (or better, if source code is available), that would be a good starting point for me to put something together. Thanks in advance for sharing your experience. You might reply to me individually, and I will keep the list informed.

I have looked at this off and on since Mack released his version for the LX, but I have had no success at all. For the purpose of getting files in and out, if you run minix from a flash card, you could pop this into a laptop and run it from there, then dos{dir|read|write} will work (although I don't think the capability is compiled into the kernel as distributed). But I keep hoping to access the LX drives directly myself. Unfortuneately, I've gotten no where. I'm not sure I really understand the problem to start with.

Yes, your reports are correct. I use APRS DOS version on a standard non-upgraded 2Mb 200LX. I use the PMCIA slot for a second serial port (one serial port to the GPS, the other port to the TNC) so I manage to cram the APRS software plus a map or two in the LX's memory. Works fine except for the extremely slow reloading or zooming of the maps. The plots and tracking are quick. The low resolution APRS DOS maps and icons are surprisingly legible. I power the LX with a cigarette lighter cable in the car because otherwise the battery life is short. This 12V power plug also powers the Radio. A nice dumb tracker package, without the LX, consists of the HTX 202 radio, a Handipacket TNC, & Garmin GPS all fits in a cigar box space and powered by the single 12V power cable. For a base station, non-mobile setup, you can eliminate the GPS port and use a memory card to hold more maps, but then what fun would it be? 73, Bob Kirk N3OZB At 02:22 PM 6/1/01 +0200, Dr. Werner Furlan wrote: >hi Marcus, > >no I am not using the HP200 for APRS, but it was reported that AprsDos >should run on it.

What you described is probably something different - your solution suggests that the file was written to a part of corrupt diskspace and this caused the problem.

After using a HP 95, 100, 200 for almost 10 years I finally got badly burned because my backup practice wasn't up to par (let that read "hit or miss" to non existent).  So, better late than never,  I'm trying to set up a daily backup that will rotate through 7 backup files, 1 for each day.  My plan is to first execute a macro to close all programs, then a BAT file to copy my 3 critical files, Calendar and 2 phone books, to a backup directory on my A: drive.

Several question --
   1.  The || will run the macro to close all applications, but do I need to put a inverted ! or ? in some field?
   2.  The | will run the BAT file, but what will exit it and close DOS?
   3.  Has anyone set up something like this, and if so can you describe what you did?

Nathalie, ignore my previous post. I was trying to give you general purpose examples of how you can copy groups of files by manipulating their "A"rchive attribute bit and using XCOPY with the "/m" switch. You want a specific solution so I'll try to give you one but first I need to understand your C: drive directory structure that you are copying FROM and where you want the copies to go on your A: drive backup flash card. > my directory in C:\ is called "programs" and the subdirectories are called > "Emergenc.y" and "Pediatri.cs".

The directories you want to copy from look like this? c:\programs\ c:\programs\emergenc.y\ c:\programs\pediatri.cs\ You don't describe exactly where in A: to want to copy TO so I'll assume the same directory structure but on A:. Since you've only mentioned 3 directories a separate copy command for each is easier than trying to copy a part of the tree. Make a BAT file like this: xcopy c:\programs\*.* a:\programs\ /m/e xcopy c:\programs\emergenc.y\*.* a:\programs\emergenc.y\ /m/e xcopy c:\programs\pediatri.cs\*.* a:\programs\pediatri.cs\ /m/e The "/m" switch will only copy new files that still have their archive bit on (and then turns it off). The "/e" will create an empty directory if necessaary. If the archive bits are still on all files then the first time you copy you'll copy all files. Future copies will only copy those new or modified files that have had the archive bits turned back on. Try it; run it twice in a row and the 2nd time it shouldn't copy anything. Does this make sense? Did I understand what you want? Cheers...

Yes, i have such a setup. Mine does 2 cyclic backups (a.zip and b.zip, one of them every second day). I have one daily appointment which closes all apps in SysMgr. Here is the smart clipped output (German. But if you also do a smart clip of one of your appointments you will know what the fields mean) System macro 1 closes all applications.

If you want to do 7 backups you had to use the parameters a, b, c, d, e, f, g and enter a repitition "weekly" for each of the seven.

This backup strategy is good enough for me and saved me lots of work already!

Thanks for help Here's some ideas that might help: I suggest adding some data to a new small phone or database application, and then use one of those programs to export (dump) the data to an Ascii file. This will provide a useful format or template to model your data after. Massage your data in a word processor or editor to match the format of that ascii file and then import your data. A word of caution, it does not take more than a little error in the file to cause problems - misplaced comma, quote, single quote and all can be hard to see. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 3 Jun 2001 23:10:51 -0500 Reply-To: Curtis Cameron Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Curtis Cameron Organization: None Subject: Re: Backup and PGP: Securing the data AND being able to use it?

There is a utility available on SUPER called SucureDevice, or SecDev. It creates a disk file, and the secdev driver sees this disk file as a whole nother disk drive. That disk drive is password-protected with the IDEA algorithm, which is far more secure than the built-in LX encryption, and although it's probably not as secure as PGP, it's plenty enough for my purposes. I highly recommend this utility. So I have my private databases (the .adb one and two .pdb ones) as files in this secdev virtual disk. I just back up the disk file as a unit. So my backup procedure is this: * Three times a week, a macro executes. * This macro first closes all open apps (MORE,Alt-F,T,Enter), then runs a DOS batch file, which has an icon set up in AppMgr. * This batch file does DBCHECK on the databases on the F: drive (the virtual one), and if they check out OK, deletes one of the other ten backups from my flash card, and copies the new one to it. * I have a program called Decimate which chooses which of the ten existing backups to delete, so that my list of ten has the new ones spaced close together, but the oldest is several months old. * The batch file then logs out of the secdev drive, so that it can't be accessed until I log in again. -- Curtis Cameron WGS-84 N33.033 W96.724 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 3 Jun 2001 21:29:11 -0700 Reply-To: Patrick West Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Patrick West Subject: Re: Backup and PGP: Securing the data AND being able to use it?

How do I access the files on the CDs, how do I best > protect these keys AND still have them handy if I have a HDD crash? you can encrypt the files to your own public key, and then store the result on a CD. You should have copies of your secring.pgp (preferably more than one) on diskette / CD. The main security problem of PGP is a brute force attack to your secring password. It is usually easier to steal a secring from your computer and hack your passphrase than crack the encrypted file AFAIK. So you should not store the secring on a PC that is accessible from other people or over the network or the Internet.

DOS ver. of the same program? > Yes, partly. I use the DOS version of PGP on my Palmtop, with this version it is possible to use up to 2048 Bit RSA keys. The new type of key (DH/DSS) is not compatible with the Dos Version. But the decryption process with so large keys is _very_ slowly on the HP. With a small testfile encrypted to my 2048 RSA key it lasts more than two minutes on my DS HP200 to see the decrypted file. The problem with storage of data is many-sided. You need a backup medium which is save, but you also need the machine to read it afterwards and the software to decrypt it. CD's will be more secure than floppies IMHO. And do not forget to keep your passphrase in mind. Without your passphrase you will need good hacking capabilties to ever read again your stored files... You can easy run a test on some files you create and verify if your backup and encryption procedure is working. That is essential with every backup you do, otherwise you feel secure and after a crash you could find out that you stored rubish ;-) have fun, 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, 4 Jun 2001 11:37:33 -0700 Reply-To: "Friderichs, John" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Friderichs, John" Subject: 200LX For Sale Comments: cc: "Gauthier, Dale" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" We have a 200LX/2Meg in very good condition for sale - $200.

I resisted moving from my 95LX to the 100LX for the same reason you do - the fonts are smaller and harder to read. Even though you can change Memo, DOS and some other applications to 40-column mode, the built-in apps such as APPT and PHONE run only in 64-column mode. And, the 40-column mode on the 100/200LX is not as readable as the 40-column mode on the 95LX. However, I did switch and would not go back. As others have said, the built-in applications on the 100/200LX are so much better than those on the 95LX that it makes up for the harder to read screen, as least for me. However, this is a trade off you will have to make for yourself.

I have a 32MB DS unit, so CONFIG.SYS contains the command to swap the C: and F: drives. From filer, I see that I have drives A: to H: (although I have no idea how G: and H: get there). I want to encrypt the file GDSTUF.TXT, which contains my collection of passwords etc. So I copied it to the root directory of C: and used the command in SECDEV to encrypt it: MKVOLUME C:\GDSTUF.TXT SECDEV asked for the passphrase twice. I checked the file with PE afterwards and it is a bunch of nonsense characters. So I guess it worked. I then put the statement: DEVICE =3DC:\TOOLS\SECDEV\SECDEV.SYS C:\GDSTUF.TXT in my CONFIG.SYS after the line: DEVICE=3DC:\RD\RDSWAP.EXE and rebooted. I used LOGIN C: to log in, but SECDEV said that "drive C: is not encrypted". I then tried just LOGIN and SECDEV asked for my passphrase to drive _H:_. Obviously I could not read the encrypted file in the root of C: drive. So I copied the unencrypted GDSTUF.TXT to H:\ and used MKVOLUME to encrypt it. I rebooted and used LOGIN H: I was asked for the passphrase, which I gave and I guessed I was logged in. But I tried to open H:\GDSTUF.TXT with PE and I still get nonsense characters. Is it possible that the drive swapping in CONFIG.SYS has confused SECDEV? I have tried putting DEVICE=3DF:\TOOLS\SECDEV\SECDEV.SYS F:\GDSTUF.TXT before the drives were swapped (at that time all the files referenced were in F:), but the effect was the same. What have I missed? Any suggestion welcome.

The only problem there is that you need an existing GDB file as output file, it won't create one for you. What I usually do is to first create a database in the desired format on the HP 200 LX or on the PC with CPACK that contains one sample entry. Then I convert this file to comma-delimited which gives me the sequence of fields in the CDF (or CSV) file. Next, I write a program (usually in REXX) that reads the raw input data (most often an HTML file) and creates the CDF file. The next step is the XLATE/MERGE program in the Cpack, with the CDF file as input and the GDB file from step one as output. The last step is to open the database with CPACK or on the HP 200 LX and to delete the sample entry. Nowadays, I've moved almost all of my databases to my Palm Pilot Vx. I've bought a shareware tool named HandBase for the Palm which comes with a PC component that can also create databases from CSV files.

It is probably your ISP who does not add a date header to the emails. They are supposed to, but there is a bit of a controversy in the interpretation of the RFC for that item. In any case, Post/LX does not add it, relying instead on your ISP's SMTP server to do it (we believe they should!) But, you can put an extra line in the POST.CFG ÝSYSTEM¨ section, and it will tell Post/LX to add the date header anyway. ÝSYSTEM¨ .... ....

The reason is the dashes in the date output (06-06-2001) My file creates a Dos variable in the form day=06-06-2001, and on the palmtop it creates a directory 06-06- 20, which is unfortunately not what was intended.

Hi Siegfried, My phone is a Motorola ST7868W. To go online I hook the HP serial cable to my 200LX, the Motorola data cable to the phone, and join the two 9-pin connectors with the HP null modem adaptor. I make sure the LX's serial port power is on, and then connect with communications software using COM1. I've used the built-in Data Comm and LXTCP, but it should work with whatever software you normally use.

Moving the volume file is no problem, first logout, then unhide it and move the file to the root of the other 'real' drive. You also need to change the drive letter used in the Config.sys command line. Increasing the volume can be done a couple of ways. One way would be to create the larger volume with MKVOLUME and install it as a 2nd secdev drive. Then login to both drives, copy the files to the larger drive, logout both drives, delete the old small volume and change config.sys to only use the new larger volume. Some security comments... 1. If your private file ever existed on a non-encrypted drive (like C: or A:) then even though you erased it portions of the file may still exist as ASCII in unused sectors and could be read with a disk editor. Running something Norton's Wipefile to zero out a disk's free space is a good idea to keep someone from being able to recover your erased file data. Bun a backup first though to be safe. 2. Having SecDev is good encryption but that assumes you will be logged out if the LX is stolen. If you Login, and stay logged In then your data isn't very secure. Here's my secdev line from my config.sys; see that "/t13" at the end? That causes the file to logout automatically 13 minutes after last accessed. I think this is a very useful feature and releaves you of the burdon of having to remember to logout. device=c:\bin\secdev\secdev.sys c:\secdev.!@# /t13 3. Don't hide your secdev volume file. Make it visable so it can be seen and backed up with the rest of your files. You may need to 'touch' the file timestamp or archive bit so an incremental backup will see it. You should also be logged out during the backup. Cheers...

However its flexibility also allows people like me to distort its true purpose and make it perform batch enhancer duties as I demonstrated. There is a REXX provided with IBM's DOS v7 that I think runs on the LX (and faster too I believe). Rexx is a terrific language, ideally suited to novice programmers. Because it runs interpreted it is slower than compiled languages like C, and because it is typeless it can also run slower than basic. (I make up the lost time by finishing the programs quicker. :-) Cheers...

Bryan Huh? Of course it will fit!!! PCMCIA Type I is 3.3mm. Type II is 5mm, and Type III is 10.5mm. Type I and II fit in the PCMCIA slot of the palmtop. Type III does not. CF Type II is 5mm, like its ATA format cousin.. You put the CFII into the ATA PCMCIA adapter and slam it home! I used the IBM Microdrive (after Avi Meshar and others posted about it here).

If you have found a way to disable the banners in a _"Free"_ ISP (Windows or DOS) I'd be very interested to know how. Well actually there may be a way, but it's a violation of the ISP's terms of service I'm sure. there's a program called RAS Spy that you can install on your PC (not palmtop) and then install one of the free ISPs. It captures the real login info that the free ISP is using to log you in. You just connect normally with RAS SPy running. Then check RAS SPY to find the real login ID and password the software is using to log you in to the ISP. Once you have that you just use that information to create a plain vanilla dial up networking connection and use that. From that point on you get no banners. I tried it for a week last year when I was traveling and it worked fine. I never tried it on my palmtop as I did not have the need but I believe it would work. I no longer use this as my employer gives me free cable internet at home and toll free dial in internet when I am on the road.

These days, everyone requires a special dialer, at a minimum, and usually banner ads. This rules out "legally" connecting from anything other than supported platforms. Some, are more hackable than others, when it comes to avoinding the requiremens.

Only the most expensive ATT plan doesn't require a special dialer, cost is comparable to Earthlink. The lowest cost that I've seen which does not require a special dialer (just regular PPP) is WorldShare Prime (http://www.wsprime.com). <<>> ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 10 Jun 2001 22:41:50 +0200 Reply-To: Daniel Hertrich Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Daniel Hertrich Subject: Re: FLUFF: Photos MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi Joe, On Fri, 8 Jun 2001 22:00:23 -0400, "Joe H.

Then the EOS 100 wa the "replacement" model. I really don't understand why. The 10 is nearly perfect for my needs. Now I wish I had the money to buy one of the new digital Canon SLR cameras.

Does anyone use >NetZero with their palmtop? As others have said, Netzero is merging with Juno to form United Online. A news article I read about it said that the free services will continue to be supported under the Netzero brand name and the pay services will be supported under the Juno name. I don't know what future effect it will have on those who are still accessing Juno using the old email only free access software, but so far the old email only Juno software is still working great for me, even on old 386 computers running Windows 3.0. As for your specific question, I have managed to connect to Juno from a DOS window on my desktop computer using the DOS based nettamer software, but it appears that Juno connection doesn't offer a POP server to access Juno email. To connect to Juno's connection with any access software other than Juno's official software, one must learn what their user ID and password is after it's encrypted by Juno's software. Once one knows their encrypted user ID and password, one may use the DOS based Nettamer software to access the net through Juno's free connection without dealing with ad windows. One may then go to Juno's webmail site and type in an unencrypted user ID and password, but the Nettamer software doesn't seem to allow one to activate the login button to actually log in. Another DOS based web access software might work, though. Since I wasn't able to actually click the login button on Juno's webmail site to log in, I haven't used the Nettamer software since, so I didn't actually install the Nettamer software on my HP200LX for that purpose either, but it's well documented that Nettamer does work on the HP200LX. Except for Juno email access, one can browse the web, FTP and do anything else using the Juno connection. As far as the ethics of defeating the ad windows, Juno's own old email only access software doesn't display the ads anymore anyway, so I continue to legally use that old software all the time on my desktop computer. It's much more convenient and faster to use for email access than Juno's newer full service access software. (BTW, it's still perfectly legal to copy the old email access software for friends, even though Juno no longer offers the old software.) If you would like to know more about how to use free Juno internet connections to connect to the internet, write to me privately and I'll direct you to a website I discovered that explains how you can do it. If anyone finds DOS based internet access software that works on the HP200LX that is also capable of activating the Login button on Juno's webmail site, please let me know. That would then offer free Juno email access from a HP200LX. Cheers!

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain I have limited experience of these, more experience of the proprietary Xircom (became ultimately Nortel Baystack) cards. In fact I have 10 in my desk :-) There are 2 problems: The older cards do have DOS drivers, but draw lot of power (you are after all driving a radio transmitter!). I can't see it in the product documents, but IIRC it was about 250mA, well above what the LX will handle. They are comparatively slow (well, not for an LX) at 1Mbps, I used to get ~480 kb/s from a laptop with sole use of the access point. The newer cards *may* use less power - you might find the information on the vendors sites. However I suspect few will provide DOS drivers, and there is no way they will work with generic drivers. Certainly Nortel's current 802.11 products have no such support. Sadly they don't provide Win2000 drivers for the old pre-802.11 hardware either, which is why they are in my desk. On the whole I suspect Bluetooth cards would draw less power - they are only claiming a range of a few metres, where the 2.4GHz 802.11 cards are ~50 metres (more at 1Mbps, less at 11Mbps). DECT cards would be even more hungry, with a range of ~ 2-300 metres. And GSM things like the Nokia cardphone... So IMHO best chance is a Bluetooth card, as power matters to them so they can put them into cell phones. A bluetooth card must be available that has a LAN access point. It's just those drivers...

I looked for it on SUPER, but only found keystuff (version 2.0 for 200LX, but you mean another one, I think) My version of keystuf contains ks.com and kbuf128.sys. But that seems to have problems with the backslash in the file name passed to ks.com via filer.ini with the "%", since % contains backslashes only as single backslashes, but ks.com requires a backslash to be doubled. I assume ks2.com works around this by using the "@" as escape character instead of the backslash, right? But I didn't find ks2.com.

I'm just working on a project regarding MPEG4 video transmission in a wireless LAN, therefore I got two 802.11b compliant wLAN cards from the university to work with. These are ZoomAir cards (by Zoom telephonics inc.). They work fine in my Linux desktop and laptop, no success so far under Windows. I once tried to insert one of the cards into the palmtop (always curious, of course :-¨ ), and the LED of the card began to shine, but that was all. Since you need special drivers to enable such a card, I don't think there is a chance that we will ever be able to use wLAN with the palmtop. SUch drivers only exist for Windows, Mac, Linux etc, but not for DOS. Regarding power consumption: I don't know if such cards would technically be able to be driven by the palmtop. Power consumtion for plain sending / receiving cannot be as much, because these cards have a Tx power of about 15 mW (that is, they draw about 3mA @ 5V for sending. Of course they need more current for all the other circuitry, but I doubt they get beyond the 150mA limit).

The protected mode features released in the 386 would be next to impossible to emulate on a 186. Now, I have encountered situations where code was released for a 386 just as a convenience - the developers just compiled it for a 386, while in actuality it could run on a 186. If you have good enough relations with the supplier, then perhaps you can convince them to release an 8086 version if possible. But if they took full advantage of the 386 features, I think you are out of luck. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

The installation process worked, I can also access the 4 MB memory on the card, but the Fax Program Minifax does not work. It is installed in the systemmanager, when I start it, I either get the message Program not found or the program is found but it says: error M01 ; thinfax Modemcard not found. I can access the modem card with datacom most time, not always. It seems to be a power up problem, switching off and on the palmtop seems to help, I can hear a soft click when the modem is powered and then it works. What I should mention is probably that I use Stefan Peichels Lxcic driver instead of the cic100 which is installed by the modem card. I hope somebody has experience with this kind of modem and can help me.

It appears that it has banners across the top. Doesn't that mean that it can't work on 200lx (like netzero)? Larry I set my mom up with the 7/7 AT&T deal. It cost $7.00 per month for unlimited internet access, and all your long distance calls are $0.07 per minute. The banners are very obnoxious, and I couldn't put up with them. Not only do the banners constantly scroll accross the screen, in the AT&T window, but at least once every minute or so, a new pop up window with a random advertisement pops up right over where ever on the screen you are working, and you have to knock it down to continue working. When I had called AT&T to setup my mom, I also inquired if they had a version of their software that would run on WinCE, and I was told that their software would only run on Win 9x (don't recall them mentioning Win NT), and that their internet access would not work without their software. I am sure a hacker could hack it, but I will stick with my current $150.00 a year service for unlimited access, without the ads, and where I only need a dial-up number. I no longer even need primary and secondary DNS numbers. Problem is with my service is that it got gobbled up by OneMain.com and then again by EarthLink. Luckily for me they are still honoring what I was paying with TIR, and I still can use my TIR.com email name. I can use almost any machine as long as I have the dial-up number. I tried to get my mom hooked up with the same yearly deal, but now their unlimited access is over $20.00 per month, and no discount is given if you pay for it yearly.

For stock quotes I use Morningstar.com or CNBC.com. Compuserve.com MSNBC.com and yahoo.com are very error prone. Many times instead of picking up today's quote they will pick up yesterdays. Or in the case of yahoo they will have the same old quotes for seven days in a row. I never could find one compatible with the 200lx directly, I always plug the values into a spreadsheet which calculates value, changes, etc. Beware: many of the websites with stock listings give the figures from the day before. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2001 16:22:15 +0200 Reply-To: Daniel Hertrich Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Daniel Hertrich Subject: Re: GDB launch from filer MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi Ulrich, On Wed, 6 Jun 2001 13:07:38 +0200, BOCHE@de.ibm.com wrote: > I'm using KeyStuff2 and have the following line in FILER.INI: > > GDB=C:\ks2.com @c@$@9%/ > > "\" is backslash and "@" is the at-sign (Klammeraffe). Since you don't seem to mean the keystuff version 2.0, but another "variant" of the executable called ks2.com (probably "home-made patched"?), and since I couldn't find that version, which seems to use the @ instead of the backslash, anywhere on the internet, would you mind sending me your copy?

No... have a look at those translation tables again: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ nopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLM nopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLM abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ The second table is just the first one in reverse (in the sense search pattern replaced with replacement pattern), but the first table already covers all possible characters and their translations, both upper- and lower case. The two tables have the exact same number of entries, only the ordering is different (but the order is not important).

I can always access the 4 MB memory of the card as drive F: (or G: on my 64MB HP200). This are the good news. Now the bad news: I could several times start Minifax, once it was even possible to send, but after 1 successful try the card did not respond again and the M01 respectively M04 error (thinfax modem not found) was displayed again. I think that the card does not work with LXcic instead of cic100, so I changed the settings to cic100, but still there is a problem. When I switch on the palmtop I can sometimes hear a soft click which tells me that the modem is powered on but sometimes nothing happens and usually then the modem is dead also in datacom. Maybe (or probably) there is a hardware defect, but I am not sure. The chances to get a repair is low I think, because I am out of warranty and the modem is no more mentioned on the EXP homepage. well, and after having written this, the modem has died completely, no click, no reaction in datacom, minifax says no thinfax found... 4 MB Ram are still available, the files in the flash rom are ok. thats it.

Hi Domingo and all RTFM LOL (see below) From what I understand of Jam you need to install Jam.sys with the /A switch set to a value below for the larger drives. Depending if you set a 4k cluster size in jcreate or left as default you need from the left or right column. External cache mentioned seems to indicate SMARTDrive, HyperDisk,Super PC-Kwik (or its OEMs: PC-Cache and Qualitas Qcache), NCACHE2,etc. I'm not sure if this would be needed on the LX or if /A values mentioned could be changed given solid state CF speeds. I have the Jam organisers email somewhere if you need it but I sense the info in the table answers your original question. Any further questions please email me and I'll do my best. BTW If you go for a 220MB are you selling the 96? :) Russell From Jam.Doc To increase compressed drives performance, JAM.SYS uses two sets of disk buffers. The first ones are used to speed-up access to JDTs (JAM Drive Descriptor Table) on mounted Archive Files. Each allocation buffer has 512 bytes (1 sector) of length and may consist of up to 128 clusters' descriptors. It's quite enough to work with drives, whose overall size is less than 10M. But, if your JAM drives have a large capacity, you should enlarge this value. To choose the most suitable to your system number of allocation buffers, use the following table: JAM 1.20 User's Guide Page 31 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------+------------------------------------------------ JAM drive capacity | Recommended number of Allocation Buffers | clustsiz = 8K clustsiz = 4K ---------------------+------------------------+----------------------- <= 20M | 4 | 8 <= 40M | 8 | 16 <= 70M | 15 | 30 <= 100M | 25 | 45 >= 200M | you should set /A=2 and use external disk cache ---------------------+------------------------+----------------------- ie I think default is 1 allocation buffer and you should be using 25 for a 96MB drive :) ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2001 13:21:12 -0500 Reply-To: Barry Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Barry Subject: Re: FLUFF: Rot13 on the LX?

As I understand it, the original idea of Rot13 was that running it through the same program would encrypt or decrypt. That only happens if the alphabet wraps. I don't think the idea is to use the same table backwards. That means either two programs or a program that has to know whether it's encrypting or decrypting. Am I missing something? I'm not expert on Rot13. It just seems like thats how the logic works out.

Tried it today without success. The external modem is on COM3 which is a USB port. Maybe that's why WWW/LX does not detect a modem. Altogether the behavior of the desktop is somewhat strange.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" What I have tried: Several months ago I tried to get an Enterasys RoamAbout 802.11b wireless PC Card to work in my 200LX and found several problems. Enterasys provides a DOS driver package with both packet and ODI drivers, but they seem to require either Card Services or a true Intel PCMCIA controller (82635). For whatever reason, the card enabler never seemed to actually work. There may be a problem with power draw as well, as Enterasys rates their card as follows: Doze Mode 9 mA Receive Mode 185 mA Transmit Mode 285 mA Power Supply 5 V It's that darned Transmit Mode I worry about. But they supply these for Windows CE systems, so they did have some considerations for battery-powered systems. About a year ago I briefly played with an Intel wireless LAN card and they claim to have DOS drivers as well, but I had no time to load the drivers and test it out. Inserting the card and running LXCIC seemed to turn the card on and produce an identifier from the card, so there may be some hope there. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2001 23:33:31 +0200 Reply-To: Daniel Hertrich Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Daniel Hertrich Subject: Re: pdu and nokia MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi Ted, On Tue, 5 Jun 2001 09:33:46 -0500, Theodore Heise wrote: > > Caution!

Still, the PDC 700 generates a decent 4x6" print when using a decent color printer (I use HP deskjet 970 with HP photo plus paper.) I bought a Polaroid 700 at Wal-Mart late last year, and I've generally been pleased with it. I wanted CF removable media I could plug into my old HP OMNIBOOK 425; a Sandisk CF worked fine for this purpose (could be moved between the HP and the camera, but the HP generally needed to be hard-rebooted after the CF was absent for a period of time or various bad crashes would occur; this is no big deal for me.) I also wanted a camera that would run off regular AA NiMh cells as I didn't want to get trapped into the proprietary battery pack "profit center" mess. (BTW the various image editing programs I found for the Omnibook weren't very good just because the CPU power of the 425SX in the OB still isn't quite enough to decently handle JPG images of any size.) Anyway, my few griefs with the Polaroid are that it has about six seconds of "dead time" after you take one shot before you can take the next; I suspect this is some kind of processing time (does not vary with image format/size) but it's still rather inconvenient. The larger (XGA) size images are something like 992x760 or something, not quite official 1024x768 but again not enough difference to worry about for me. Image quality is quite good for a "cheapie" camera and it's been rugged and reliable, save for the minor software quirks that got into the design. At one point I ordered a replacement soft case from Polaroid after the first one was damaged by me; they were good to deal with on-line and by phone, which probably stems from their big-corporate structure. Another item I just remembered; the PDC 700 boots up in "XGA" mode and if you change it to VGA mode (640x480) it doesn't remember that change across power-off states, so I've just tended not to bother with that mode. >From: Domingo >Reply-To: Domingo >To: HPLX-L@UConnVM.UConn.Edu >Subject: Fluff: Digital Cameras >Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2001 08:12:07 -0400 > >Hello.

I realized what I was saying after I sent the message, but I figure people would understand that I am not a professional photographer. As a comparison to what you posted, some of the reasons I am inclined towards the HP 215 are: 1-1.3-megapixel CCD delivering up to 1,280 x 960-pixel resolution images. 2-Power by four AA alkaline batteries (or optional AC adapter). 3-Software CD containing ArcSoft PhotoImpression, PhotoMontage, and camera drivers (for Windows only). If these reasons mean it is a better camera than the Polaroid one (specially the megapixel part), then it probably is worth the extra $10 (on the other hand, I am not sure that the very popular HP 315 is worth the extra $110, though the specs are impressive).

I'm looking at some local stores and seeing the 8mb Visor delux for $199 (with some perks) and see the faster Visor Platinum for $249 (with less accessories). The Platinum is higher than my limit, but perhaps the extra benefit is worth the $50/per? I'm not sure what the equivalent Palm offerings are, or how they compare in price, can anyone give me a quick compare (and maybe opinion)? And if anyone knows of a good sale, I'd like to hear also.

The output needs is what drives the camera quality issue. You must determine what the highest resolution you will be satisfied with for a given price. The Canon A50 was a nice camera that interfaced well with the 200LX (CF and serial) and had the same resolution (1280x960). I gave mine to my daughter who uses it frequently. The other features in the Canon include a zoom lens (useful if you're not inclined or unable to move), but this is moot since the camera is discontinued and hard to find. I bought mine for $199 about 1 year ago. 1.3 megapixel cameras are something of a commodity these days and may be difficult to differentiate among the high and low end manufacturers. > number of reasonable looking cameras for well below $100, but they lack a > viewfinder You must be referring to the LCD viewfinder. Many photographers complain about the lack of an optical viewfinder. The LCD is nice (very) in letting you preview and review shots, but when sucks the juice from the AAs fairly quickly. Most good cameras will give you both viewfinders (optical and LCD, with the latter switchable on/off). > I don't know enough about digital > cameras to determine whether other features are at all important. Useful items not on the 215: - camera zoom (only digital zoom is provided on the 215) - white balance (so you can compensate for different lighting situations) Most of the other features are useful depending on how anal you are about getting the shot "just so". Snapshooter cameras are great to get an image 90% of the time. More features (not to mention expensive interchangeable lenses) gets you the last 10% (ie, shooting a gymnast in dim light without a flash). A snapshooter camera will take a picture suitable for an album, but a better camera (and the wherewithal to use it) in the same situation will take a photo suitable for framing. Which features are important depends on your needs. These days, I buy a digital camera (I on #4) at the highest price that I can afford to replace in 6-12 months. That guideline keeps me from the bleeding edge and from the blue-light specials. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2001 14:36:27 -0400 Reply-To: Ken London Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ken London Subject: Re: Fluff: Pilot / Handspring advice MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Longden Loo wrote: > I'm in need of two Visors/Pilots in a hurry for two daughters (18yr / 21yr > ).

The only problem is modem access, and starting Minifax, because the modem is not ready most of the time and Minifax detects this.

Using the first table you could decrpyt by > using it backwards. But not by using it forward again. Backwards, forwards, doesn't matter. Let's reiterate the rules for Rot13 encoding. A letter is transformed into another letter. There's not shifting involved, so the letter 'a' will always translate into 'n' and vice versa. The same goes for upper case letters. A lower-case letter can never be translated into an upper case letter or vice versa (it'd make no sense). The Rot13 encoder does not touch non-letter characters in the ASCII set (as such, rot13 works on the _alphabet_ and has nothing to do with ASCII, but when implementing it you will of course have to consider the computer's character set). When en- or decoding, non-alphabet characters pass through the algorithm untouched (again this is only relevant when implementing the algorithm - the algorithm itself does not include non-alphabet characters at all). Here's the translation table again: the characters in the upper line (all possible characters) translate into the characters in the lower line. abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ nopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLM Put another way, The rot13 algorithm establishes relationships between between the characters, in pairs: 'a' and 'n', 'b' and 'o', etc. 'a' is always translated into 'n', and likewise 'n' is always translated into 'a'. Because of that you only need one table as it covers all possibilities, and each character only appears once in each part (search part and replace part) of the table. It's also because of this that you can reverse the table if you wish, the relationship remains the same. > I think that's only true if you use a 26 letter alphabet in > upper case. As I understand it, the original idea of Rot13 was > that running it through the same program would encrypt or > decrypt. That only happens if the alphabet wraps. I don't > think the idea is to use the same table backwards. That means > either two programs or a program that has to know whether it's > encrypting or decrypting. The alphabet does wrap. If you were implementing it in C, then you would have to wrap the alphabet when rotating the character 13 spaces (use modulo) and possibly also take into consideration that 'a' to 'z' is not char 1 to char 26. I think what might be confusing is that when using sed, you don't take the wrap issue into consideration at all - you simply make a translation table that's big enough to cover all possibilites. The sed command: y/abc/def/ ||| ||| ||\-/|| |\---/| \-----/ Simply means "translate 'a' into 'd', 'b' into 'e', 'c' into 'f'" Does this make sense? I'm not sure I'm very good at explaining it, but I'm quite sure I am correct ;-) If you want to discuss it further, then it's probably better if we do so in private e-mail, seeing as how this is fairly off-topic (and quite possibly boring some people) bye, Laust BTW. as an encoding algorithm, Rot13 encoding is very weak. That's why I always use double-Rot13 encoding ;-) ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2001 03:21:59 +0200 Reply-To: Laust Brock-Nannestad Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Laust Brock-Nannestad Subject: Re: Fluff: Memtest86 for x86 PCs In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Fri, 15 Jun 2001, Russel Brooks wrote: > http://memtest86.com > > Unless you know otherwise my recommendation is... > > ...DO NOT RUN ON YOUR LX !! I don't think you can, actually. memtest86 is based on the sources for an older version of the Linux kernel and is likely to use 386 instructions. Furthermore, it needs to be booted, cannot be started from the OS. I'm not sure you can execute a custom boot-sector/loader on the LX. From a flashcard maybe? Even Minix is booted from DOS... > The reason is the LX uses much of its memory as disk space to > store your data and I fear a memory test that wasn't aware of > this would wipe it out.

Assuming you could run it on the LX, it would most likely only see the normal 640kb, like most other generic DOS programs. I suppose running chkdsk or a surface scanner on the internal C drive would be the closest thing to testing the memory. Unless the LX' built-in self diagnostic mode (which you can access while booting, on the 95LX at least) has a memory test routine. bye, Laust ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2001 02:36:45 +0000 Reply-To: Russel Brooks Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Russel Brooks Subject: Re: Fluff: Memtest86 for x86 PCs Comments: To: Laust Brock-Nannestad MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Laust Brock-Nannestad wrote: > On Fri, 15 Jun 2001, Russel Brooks wrote: > > http://memtest86.com > > I don't think you can, actually. memtest86 is based on the sources for an > older version of the Linux kernel and is likely to use 386 instructions. > Furthermore, it needs to be booted, cannot be started from the OS.

Any suggestions = appreciated <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I bought my first digital camera a few months ago. It's my first camera of any kind since about 1960 in fact. My uses for it are very casual. Family pictures, etc. I bought a Kodak DC280 which at that time was a fairly expensive 2 megapixel camera. I didn't know what I needed want to use so I made sure I had plenty of features. I got a lot more than I needed and paid a lot more than I would today. I use the compact flash to move pictures to the computer where I already had a compact flash reader for my 200lx. Thats important. It also has USB and a serial port but I never use that. There's just no need. I use it on low resolution since I don't print the pictures. I just view them on the screen and low resolution is fine. On the screen higher resolution means a bigger picture than my screen and I have no need for that. I should have bought a 1 megapixel camera. It has a viewfinder and an LCD and I love using the LCD instead of the viewfinder. I see exactly what my picture will look like and I can look at it after I take it to check that I like it. I wouldn't buy one without an LCD. I'm not sure I've ever used the viewfinder. I've used the zoom a little but it's not something I care about. I'd do without a zoom to save a few dollars. It has a feature that lets me use no flash or a daylight flash or an artificial light flash that makes a big difference in the color quality of the picture. I can set this to automatically switch and it does fine. I wouldn't give away this feature. The compact flash card is readable on my computer as a drive, just like the 200lx flash card is and I consider that an important feature. The files are jpg and that works out well. The camera also lets me determine the amount of compression used and that's a feature I use but I could live without. An essential feature to me is that it uses AA batteries. I wouldn't buy a camera with a built in battery, or with anything but AA batteries. I use NiMH and they last and they're cheap and they work just fine. So my guess is that if I were buying a camera today I'd be looking in the $200-$300 price range and watching for sales and deals to try to get it for less. I don't think I'd give up the features I've listed as useful above to save a few dollars. Of course if it was my first camera I wouldn't know those features or miss them. When I first decided to buy a digital camera, before I did any real looking I set a maximum of $250. But then I started wondering if I'd find I'd need all those other features that in fact I never use. :) I took time before buying to look at real pictures taken with the various cameras. I wanted to be fussy about the picture first. I found pictures on the web. I found them in stores. I found people with various cameras that would let me see pictures. I picked my price range first and then looked for the camera with the pictures I liked best.

Palm has been making some major upgrades to their OS and 4.0 is due soon.

The progam you created is excellent, but in this case I am pretty sure that it is the modem which is not o.k. and Lxcic cannot repair a defect modem. The irritating thing is that the problem is not permanent but in 80-90% of my tries. When I plug in the EXP 56K modem card, it works 100% with all commands of Lxcic and in datacom.

Maybe it is time to tell yourself "I have a broken modem!" and stop trying the other 5,000 combinations ... The modems break, you know... Did you write to EXP and have they responded? That is by far the easiest path. Experimenting with a broken modem does not teach much, because you never know if the results you get are "legitimate" or just the "imagination" of the broken modem. Anyway, if you cannot get anything done with EXP, I know someone who has a number of 4MB EXP modems, new in the box. I'll ask him in the meantime if he sells them.

They went out of business when Micro$oft sued them for selling pirated software, after buying from the vendors that Micro$oft had recommended! Ridiculous! Anyway, they would have the customer sign a contract that the items would have only a 90-day warranty, to be honored only via a store credit for the purchase price, and that there was absolutely NO service, support or software included - anything else was charged at our $40/hour bench fee - even for over-the-phone support. The customers knew what they were getting from the beginning and understood that they were on their own - or they would have to pay more. Most of the customers knew what they were doing, and getting, and were OK with that, since they got the item they wanted at a lower price than they would have otherwise. If there were ever any objections or complaints, we would reiterate to them the contents of the contract that they had signed and agreed to, and offered them a store credit, if necessary. Most were OK with it, the rest (VERY few) would walk out angry and come back in a month or two to buy something that they couldn't find anywere else, or at a price they couldn't find anywhere else. Perhaps the way to start would be to post (to the mailing list) a list of the items you have, and a fair price, plus shipping. Then the list members can purchase the items, with the understanding that they are closeout items with ABSOLUTELY no support, service or warranty. They can try them out, and then do whatever with them. I would be OK with it and I think that most other list members are OK with it, too. We can get help and support from other list members if we need it, otherwise, we chalk it up to experience. I think it's worthy of discussion, at least. And, I, for one, am anxious to see this list!

I think that you canNOT fix it. I remember years ago when Megahertz was still in business when I purchased the xjack new. There was a problem with the firmware and slight power fluctuations. I called and asked about using the palmtop for the upgrade (I had no other pcmcia devices at that time). They warned me that if the firmware upgrade failed, that the modem would be dead and I would have to send it to them. I don't recall if it could be fixed by them or just would have to be replaced. Sorry. Maybe someone has some better news to offer. But that is what I recall. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2001 22:03:32 -0600 Reply-To: "Robert K.

Thanks for the suggestions. It's been a while since I last tried, so I had forgotten what the problems were. Even with your suggestions, I still get problems. The drive is created, files can be copied to it, they work without a hitch, but the drive cannot be JMAXed. That utility always quits with different error numbers (almost never the same one #1, #70, #239, all having to do with the host drive), and it recommends I use a utility such as Norton to check the phisical drive. I did that before and after, no problems whatsoever (I used Scandisk). In the past I ran a DOS version of Norton from the palmtop, and each time I ran it, it found problems, which it proceeded to "fix", only to still find problems next time. The "fix" invariably lost many files that were working before, so I stopped using Norton and stuck with Scandisk. I spent a long time with this problem before, I don't think I'll spend a long time this time around unless someone can help me find a cure. I recall having the same problem with Stacker (the optimizer would not work), which I tried just to compare, since I really need the uncompressed volume to be available.

It's very likely nothing can be done. This is true with most devices that use flash roms and allow firmware upgrades. The code that starts the device and the code that handles upgrading is erased during the upgrade and not sufficiently rewritten before the error. Upgrading the thing takes quite a lot more power than normal since it's writing the entire card twice. It pays to do this very cautiously. The HP49 calculator is one of the few devices I know of designed to recover from this kind of situation. Their firmware upgrade code is in a non-writable portion of the Bios. So if it fails the calc is useless until you do it successfully. You can try as often as you like until it works. I wish others would do that.

It doesn't satisfy ANYONE if all these nice used items are lying around somewhere and no one is able to make use of it (and especially now that we all know about it! ;-) ). If you sell these items without any warranty and support, at least SOME or maybe MOST customers will be satisfied. Even if there are a few who are angry because the item they bought doesn't work as exspected, you still have more new SATISFIED customers than ANGRY ones. That's my opinion - I have no clue about business and economy, but that is what my naive mind says.

Yes, two or three years ago, but just a plain switch with a 2x crystal and a normal crystal, with no support circuitry to make it actually function properly. It did work that way, however ... though about half the time it would blank the screen and the machine would require a ctrl-lshift-on to recover, and the motherboard ended up completely destroyed (though this may have had more to do with my awful Radio Shack soldering iron than with the crystal-switching -- it was most likely just heat damage to the processor). I assume that, with the professional-looking installation of the switch in that picture, the person who installed that switch took the necessary steps to make it work right. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2001 12:27:23 -0500 Reply-To: "Thoms, Shane - SGIG" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Thoms, Shane - SGIG" Subject: Re: Wireless LAN Comments: To: "Kelley, Timothy P" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" First, let me introduce myself to the list.

Smith" Subject: EXP Modems MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable A few days ago I posted that I know where brand new EXP cards can be found. These are 4MB memory with a 14,400 Modem / Fax cards. They are new in the box with a phone line with a dongle connector. Also manual and the warranty and registration card. Totally unused. The person who owns them says to go ahead and tell: It is Avi Meshar sponsor@ftel.net. He is interested in selling these to serious buyers. These are not used cards, or some second rate discards as sold por pennies on EBay. So if you are interested, please write directly to Avi at sponsor@ftel.net. He says - please offer a serious price and you have it. (I personally bought one of them too, as back up. Works great.) For an additional $15.00 he will sell another phone line with a dongle as a back up. Buyer pays shipping and insurance, money orders only. I have NOTHING to do with the sale and will not respond to questions about it, sorry. I just carry a message for a friend. He also commented that he has a lot of other items for sale, and was thinking about eBaying them, but if there is interest here he'll go for sales here. I asked for a list of items.

Mike - if longitudes are the same then the latitude difference is the same as the arc-length. lat2-lat1=3Dd For the same latitudes a factor of cos(lat) comes in and the relation is sin(d/2)=3Dcos(lat)*sin((lon2-lon1)/2). For lat=3D0 the longitude difference is the arc length. Otherwise the formula is something like lon2-lon1 =3D 2*arcsin( sin(d/2)/cos(lat) ) I could be wrong of course Cheers, Tony ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2001 00:35:57 +1300 Reply-To: Tony Hutchins Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Tony Hutchins Subject: Re: PalEdit MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Thu, 21 Jun 2001 00:12:02 +1200 (NZST) 07h13m53s ago ...

I had/have a Zenith Z-100 with a crystal upgrade to speed it up, and it worked well with a switch on the back. The circuit board wouldn't fit in a 200LX though. A gate and a replacement oscillator and some sockets I think. Given the surface mount components now available you should be able to make one that would fit though. Little point on the Z-100 except for geekiness as it was 8 to 10 MHz and there was no need for the 8 MHz mode.

Mike; By inspection, if the longitudes are the same, then d = Lat1 - Lat2. (Assuming a spherical earth, and so forth.) So, Lat2 = Lat1 - d . Using the CRC Handbook, Mensuration Formulae for circles, and fooling around, gives the following when the latitudes are the same. Theta's are sorta longitude, Phi's sorta latitude Great circle distance formulas c = 2R sin (Theta/2) Here Theta is total angle/arc length. Theta = s, R = 1 c = 2 sin(s/2) Translate to proper latitude.. R' = cos(phi) c = 2R' sin(Theta'/2) Theta' = 2 asin( c/2R' ) Here Theta' is an angle corresponding to longitude Lon2 = Lon1 +/- Theta' Amusing little problem. What are you up to, and how the heck do you know the arc length?

You can open in PE as many files as you want. I believe memory and rive is the only constraint. If you have a directory with many files of one type, try this in PE: Menu File Open and enter *.TXT - all the files with TXT extension will be opened. Use F7 to rotate among them, or Menu View Open to show a list of open files (you can select with the cursor), or CTRL-X-Ctrl-B to do the same without the menu. You may wish to avail yourself to the Help within PE, which is where I got all this info. i usually use F7 when I have several open files, but occasionally (after pressing F1 and searching for it) I use CTRL-X-Ctrl-B. Even more rarely do I remember the Menu View Open ... Now there is a slightly confusing phrase in your first paragraph: "so that a scrollable list of files on the HP200 can be displayed," I think I got it right above, but maybe you mean: I just want to do a dir command so I can scroll and choose whech to open. I do not know of anything quite like this, but your hint re Pick.exe is meaningful. Pick displays a scrollable file list like Memo does. You need to put Pick.exe in the same directory as PE.EXE, and in PE.CFG add this line: ; set this to the program that should be started to pick a file Chooser=3DX:\Y\pick.exe Where X is the drive and Y is the path where PICK.EXE is located. When you open a file in PE, it presents a one line prompt asking for the file to use. Just leave it empty and PRESS ENTER. This will kick in PICK.EXE. If you set it up right and have provided sufficient memory for PE, PICK will bring up a menu almost identical to Memo. You know how to navigate from there - check on Memo. FYI: There is an easier way! In that one line prompt, type say: c:\_ and press Tab. You will see it complete _dat (or any other file/directory name you may have in C:\ that begins with _. You can navigate quickly to any subdirectory by just typing the first letter of its name, and repeated TAB until the name appears. Then a \ and another first letter of a filename, or even *.txt and a tab. It will present the first item matching the pattern, and repeated TABs will scroll through the list. E.G. Menu File Open then c:\d and a tab yields in my machine c:\data another Tab yields C:\data1 another tab yields c:\domain and I type \ then a tab which yields c:\domain\bolex another tab yields c:\domain\piru another tab yields c:\domain\zorko and I type a \ and *.inv which yields c:\domain\zorko\040101.inv a tab yields c:\domain\zorko\050101.inv a tab yields c:\domain\zorko\060101.inv and enter opens that file for editing. So all I pressed is Menu F o c:\d tab tab tab \ tab tab \ *.inv tab tab enter - all of 22 keypresses to get to the right file. This may be less work then PICK.EXE, but less intuitive, too. Good luck.

I may be wrong, but I was under the impression that SmartMedia cards have no ATA controller on board, and thus the controller has to be built into the reader (which is the adapter itself, in this case) and that's why the adapters for SmartMedia are more expensive than the CompactFlash adapters. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2001 16:27:13 -0500 Reply-To: Hal Goldstein Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Hal Goldstein Subject: Re: Used 200LX Stuff + New Stuff Comments: cc: Wayne Kneeskern MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252" I really appreciate everyone's private and public feedback about our used 200LX stuff.

But it still cannot reflow things that came from another place in a chopped up way. I regularly receive email with long lines, and/or with a long line followed by a shorty, then a long line, followed a shorty. When I inquird about it, developer (Andreas Garzotto) basically said that it is not up to Post/LX to reflow what _other_ people quote, only what it can reflow that is in a reformattable shape. IOW, what was already in quoted form when arriving in my mail box will be left so.

Aren't smart media cards also ATA compatible?). Because there is small demand for it, and few manufacturers. Somewhat like orphan drugs ... The other reason is that these interfaces need the ATA engine, which lacking on the SMM card itself (at least I believe this is so.)

If you travel on a line of *constant* latitude (which is not the shortest way) then the arc length 'd' is just 'cos(lat)*(lon2 - lon1)'. This might have been what you were after (it gets rid of the 'sin' stuff). The top formula in your 'equation.gif' simplifies to sinsq(d/2)=3Dsinsq((lat2-lat1)/2) +cos(lat1)*cos(lat2) +sinsq((lon2-lon1)/2) where 'sinsq(x)' is (sin(x))¬2 The '/2' can be removed, taking us closer to how the formula was derived, as the angle subtended, at the centre of the Great Circle passing through both points, by those points. as 1-cos(x)=3D2*sinsq(x/2) we get: cos(d)=3Dcos(lat2-lat1) - cos(lat1)*cos(lat2)*(1-cos(lon2-lon1)) For lon1=3Dlon2 we have cos(lon2-lon1)=3Dcos(0)=3D1 and d=3Dlat2-lat1, so lat2=3Dlat1+d For lat1=3Dlat2, the solution is tidier with the sines, but the 'cos(lat1)*cos(lat1)*(1-cos(lon2-lon1))' expression comes from a cosine rule application determining the length of the straight line (thru the earth) between the points, which enables the "d" to be determined, again by the cosine rule. lon2=3Dlon1 + 2*arcsin( sin(d/2)/cos(lat) ) -is the simplest solution I think, for lat1=3Dlat2=3Dlat Cheers, Tony 9h23m27s ago ...

It was obviously not the known problem solved by pressing the palmtop in the lower right corner. My keys had lost good contact. Today I decided to do the operation at the open heart. I left the backup battery in my 64MB techram while opening the case. As soon as I removed the mainboard, I connected it to the adapter. Now I had all the time to take the keyboard apart. As Daniel told me, I cleaned all key contacts with a cotton swab soaked in contact spray. I cleaned both sides, the plasic foil with the "bubbles" and the silver foil. On the bubble side one could see the impressions from the silver side. I cleanded until these impressions faded away. On the silver foil I cleaned the black parallel strips. The swab became very black, but indeed it didn't take off the whole thing. I put everything together again and now my keyboard is like new. All keys react immediately and no more strange sounds from keys which had beer contact ;-)... It took me 3 hours altogether. Success after my XJack upgrade disaster.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-2" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello all, The german Yellow Computing firm sells TransFile Win200 version 1.10 for 69DM+shipping. They claim it fixes the "magic byte-sequence" data transfer problem of v1.03. I wonder if we are all entitled to use v1.10 for free, because HP licenced Transfile v1.03 and offers it for free download to all 200LX owners. Now, Win200 v1.03 is severely nonfunctional and software vendors are legally obliged to fix software glicthes. Do you think I should write H-P asking them to grab TransFile v1.10 and offer it for download instead of v1.03? I think H-P could easily defend itself against Yellow Computing if needed, as the germans shipped critically non-functional software to H-P, causing bad publicity and thus material and non-material losses to H-P. Well, I will never give such a big heap of money to yellow. In fact I will never give them a penny for any bugfix. Great shame they try such dirty tricks; even M$ fixes things for free! I hope they soon go out of business.

When I encounter an e-mail like this that really bothers me, and I am replying to it and/or need to print it out for reference, I usually clean it up in vi with nasty combinations of cryptic ex-mode commands (the sed-like ones). One common situation, re-formatting paragraphs that are quoted one level deep: :.,$s/¬> // Then I reformat the paragraphs, using the fmt program (which I have defined to be the so-called "equal program", which is typicaly for many vi programs). Say the message is 4 paragraphs long, I go to the top of the first one and issue the command =4} directly from the visual mode. Lastly, re-insert the quotes: :.,$s/¬/> / Pondering what I just wrote, you could do all this from the command line on a file, just using sed and fmt stand-alone. But as you can see, the process is awkward... I only do it when I *really* want to clean something up. What would be ideal is a version of fmt that understood the quoting format, eliminating the need to remove and subsequently re-install the quote characters. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

I don't know if they are legally obliged to fix issues related to use of an older product on a newer OS. Under your reasoning anyone who ever made DOS software must "fix" it to work with Windows 2000. I have the same problem with Act for Windows version 3, trying to talk with acthp on the palmtop, under Windows 2000. I would love it if someone would sell a fix. I don't use Transfile anymore, I have an Antec PhotoChute3 USB card reader, but that is useless with ACT!. > I wonder if we are all entitled to use v1.10 for free, because HP Hmm, under this reasoning am I "entitled" to Word2002 because I own Word 97 and Word2000? > Great shame they try such > dirty tricks; even M$ fixes things for free!

I don't use Transfile, and may have mis-understood the nature of the glitch - but I don't remember hearing that this "byte-sequence" problem was unique to a new version of the OS - my understanding was that it was simply a problem from day one. In any event, I am skeptical of the legal requirement to fix a bug.

It does have this great prefix option, which works fine with quotes: -p, --prefix=3Dprefix Only lines beginning with the prefix (possibly pre- ceded by white space) are re-arranged; the prefix (with any preceding white space) is stripped for the formatting and re-attached to each formatted output line. One use is to format certain kinds of program comments, while leaving the code unchanged. I have quoted more than normally below - Just to show how FMT has reflowed the whole thing within 64 cols. I have a ROBOT/LX script which writes a .bat file to do this automatically. It uses GREP.EXE to determine the quoting depth. Quoting is then "re-normalised" and each level is wrapped separately. Both an "in-wrap" and and "out-wrap" can be specified for each box in POST/LX. In between, it can launch POSTH.EXE to do the headers. It is overkill, but is easily switched off. It would not have been possible without that GNU FMT.EXE. That "prefix" above is not limited to being just one character. (I do have fun with this - based on the wrap I use SED to alter PE.CFG to the approriate wrap and zoom. So, I can wrap messages to 40 columns, read and type in big print, and then "out-wrap" them back to 64 or 78 etc. But as I say, it's not fast, especially for a deeply quoted long message - it is automatic though).

Still, the original assertion was that there is no program out there that can reflow text INCLUDING quoted parts to the margins used by the reader. Certainly I have been able to EDIT an email, and MANUALLY fix things so I can read it and so on. I usually try to not waste my time on it. Equally, if fixing such an email means d/l 15 programs, running 2 or three others, and mastering arcane command sequences of 2 or 3 other programs, making some heroic an unnatural acts in order to fix the email, then my choice is the DEL key! Sorry. Anyway, we started with a simple question about wrapping, and it is now dealing with VIM, VI, FMT and SED, command sequences are flying like fur bits. The simple answer to the person who asked is this: Unless you want to go into heroics, learn 2-3 new programs and their command structure, then just accept that there is no program out there to do the trick simply and in a straight forward manner. At least I have not seen such a program. If some knows of a program that is usable to read email without unnatural acts and contortions, please step forward. Thank you all for the fantastic solutions you have come up with - I do not mean to take away anything from your creativity and adroitness. The scope of solutions and their depth clearly shows that this community is well above the norm in lists on the internet - it is almost like this list should be called "Solutions R Us!" . I just tried to answer someone a straight and simple question about PE. I certainly did not want to get into any religious wars about the relative merits of PE vs. VI vs. VIM and other related tools.

This has nothing to do with a new OS. Transfile 1.03 was distributed free, but had a serious bug that renders it useless in many cases. This new version supposedly fixes that bug, but they want a large sum for it. This sounds a lot like the old bait and switch sales tactic -- isn't that generally illegal? Also, the product is obviously not discontinued, or they wouldn't still be selling it. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2001 21:34:13 -0500 Reply-To: Curtis Cameron Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Curtis Cameron Organization: None Subject: Success - creating an ADB file MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In case anyone is interested, I've now successfully written an ADB file from a program of mine, so that it passes DBCHECK and can be opened with the Appt app with apparently no problems.

From your replies, though, I think I have the answers I need, and it also seems my trigonometry skill are well beyond rusty :) And I used to be quite good at math too. To answer a couple questions about what this is for: On my LX-Mapblast page, when a map is generated, the center point lat and lon is known. I have had several requests to add lat/lon coordinates for opposite corners in order to calibrate the map for LXGPS. From the pixel dimensions and the scale of the map I can calculate the North-South and E-W distances (arc lengths). With the center point lat/lon and these distances, and the appropriate equations I hope to determine the corner point coordinates. If this is successful and sufficiently accurate, another idea I have is to support panning of the map. This would allow browsing around the area of interest, and also generating a series of maps to cover a region in a more logical fashion. Thank you again for your assistance.

Yes, I do repairs all the time that way. Except of course repairs and upgrades which I have to solder on the mainboard for. For that purpose the backup battery MUST be removed, otherwise one could damage the whole motherboard. But always make sure the backup battery is not low. If you do that for the first time, use a new backup battery, in case you forget to connect to the adapter or somethint else doesn't work as expected.

I have the impression that every solvent or contact spray doesn't only CLEAN the contacts but also removes the black contact layer (graphite?) if you wipe too intensive.

What Tony meant was to use the following 4-key sequence: <&...> Each label inside the angle brackets <> appears on one of the keyboard keys. The key bearing the label '&...' is the green key located just above the letter 'O' and it has the title 'MORE' underneath it in a gray box. Using this sequence when the System Manager is running puts you into the 'More Applications' screen, activates the menus, chooses the 'Application' menu and selects 'Terminate All' to close every active program running under System Manager and exit System Manager itself, returning you to DOS. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2001 09:35:35 -0500 Reply-To: Chris Lott Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Chris Lott Subject: Re: agenda Comments: To: Striegel@PIOS.COM In-Reply-To: <454226824160D3118F9D00508B08F15A02624D6D@piouspkldmail.pios.com> from "Striegel, Alan" at Jun 22, 2001 10:27:51 AM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > > From: ashoni arora Ýmailto:ashoni@ONEBOX.COM¨ > > Sent: Friday, June 22, 2001 9:09 AM > > > > however I cant understand your advice about "more menu at enter" > > what exactly does this mean? > > What Tony meant was to use the following 4-key sequence: > <&...> > Each label inside the angle brackets <> appears on one of the keyboard keys.

Do you really think of that as a dirty trick? The program has several problems. If they got bought the rights to it and took the time to fix it I would say they're entitled to try to make a few bucks from it. By the way I saw it for sale somewhere else the other day for $35.

On occasions I needed the detailed map (to get street names etc, but also wanted to be able to move about. I know Mamblast allows coordinates input, but it was always so cumbersome on the palmtop. Making it possible to pan about is a welcome development! I always brag to my associates, colleagues and customers about various programs and facilities on the Palmtop (such as email, browsing for maps, VR, and many many many others, much too numerous to remember and mention) and mapping is by far a lovely addition which always raises eyebrows. I keep many maps of areas I go to over an over, and even "stitched" together several maps (on the desktop, with graphics programs) several adjacent maps of places I go to over and over. I use LXPIC with that - and it allows me to pan about. Perhaps you can contact LXPIC's author to obtain from him help in how to generate a LARGE area map, but only show a smaller area from it, and let the pan about. LXPIC redraws on each move and a larger image will take longer, but PCXs also draw very fast with LXPIC. I am sure I reflect the sentiment of many of us here when I say "ONE BIG THANK YOU!"

Yellow Computing WROTE the program initially (or at least published it) It was free. It came with bugs. It came with some annoying features (overwrite file dates, max 57600 baud, and more). They fixed some, but not all, the problems (the list is longer than above!) and now they sell the improved program. I echo your idea: They are entitled to it. As far as Tamas' claim: I think that AT MOST(!) Yellow Computing should send Tamas back a reimbursement of the price he paid on the first program , and that he should use that amount towards the purchase of the second, improved program . Software sometimes comes with a reimbursement clause: You can get damages to the extent of what you paid. If the reimbursement clauses were higher, Micro$oft would have disappeared off the face of the Earth a loooong time ago.

I usually have the Accton ethernet card in one slot when I use it. Often I will pop my Sandisk flashdisk from the HP200LX into the second slot for file copying. When I do this, it *always* resets my ethernet connections. For example, if I have telnet-ed to my shell account, the telnet client reports that the connection has been reset, and I have to logback in again. Similarly, any Windows network mapped drives on other computers get disconnected and then automatically reconnected. This isn't a real serious problem, but I was curious if this was an effect peculiar to my laptop, or perhaps PCMCIA-based ethernet connections in general. Oh yeah, one more data point. I doesn't seem to behave this way when I do the opposite. That is, I stop the Sandisk card and wait until the OS tells me I can safely remove it. Upon removal, the ethernet connections seem to left alone. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

David Sargeant who owns this domain and the machines has posted here several times lately, perhaps he can shed some light. I used the list for a loong time, but it became so sporadic (up and down) I gave up. Email to him went unanswered. I later learned he was ill, so I am glad to see him posting back again.

From personal experience, decoding the CDF version of the ADB file, I know how difficult this can be. For my HP2REX application (still not finished) I had to decode *two* formats, the HP and the REX. Would you consider sharing the software at some point in the future?

For example, when you open most ASCII files there is a carriage return at the end of each line and paragraphs will not "flow" properly between the LE margins. If you remove the carriage returns, consecutive lines are converted to one long paragraph which fits smoothly between the margins. Returns are not removed if: ~ There are two returns in a row (like a typewriter, two returns usually separate paragraphs) ~ The next line starts with a space (this indention is usually a deliberate separation from the previous paragraph) ~ The next line starts with a tab (same reason as space) --- and the best thing about LE editor - it has an extra large font which looks stunning on the LX previous discussions >-{start paste}- Still, the original assertion was that there is no program out there that can reflow text INCLUDING quoted parts to the margins used by the reader.

Sorry, Nathalie, but that is FAAAAAAAr from a suitable solution. PE is by FAR more useful to do manual reformatting than LE. In the meantime I was directed to POSTH by Tony Hutchins. According to his claims, and examples, that package does EXACTLY what I said no program does. I have not tried it yet, but I suspect Tony produced a winner here. > from the LE editor manual: > Use "Remove Carriage Returns" to selectively > remove carriage returns (also known as "CR/LFs," > "paragraph markers," or "hard returns") from the > file. Too simplistic - a 10% solution. What the person was looking for and I have been looking for is somehting that will adjust the width of the message - INCLUDING THE PARTS THAT ARE QUOTED - to the width of the screen _I_ happen to be using. So: Let's say you send stuff on a margin of 72 chars, I quote you but my messages are margined at 64 chars, and I send my post with your stuff quoted in it, to someone else. That person reads on a margin of 40 and would like all the quotations and posts to be reformatted so that: 1. The margins are at 40, including the quoted parts! 2. The quoted parts are reformatted to fit on a margin of 40 and quoted properly inside that margin. LE has died somewhere early in this requirement, waaaaay early. Sorry. PE survived a bit longer than LE. I know you love it, but it is not nearly the tool you think it is. Thank anyway for mentioning it. It is very very nice program with lots of power, and it works on the palmtop like a champ. Joe S. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

The exact same thing happened to me on my desktop PC (Windows 98) when I insert a flash card, regardless of brand or whether it's a CompactFlash or regular Type II card. I figured it had something to do with all of my interrupts being used and the flash card having to share one with the network card, so I freed up some IRQs, and sure enough, the problem went away, though I still have no idea what the specific cause was. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2001 12:05:18 -0400 Reply-To: Martin Bergvill Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Martin Bergvill Subject: Re: Possible HP200LX replacements?

Yes, but do I (we) really need it? I seldom have the need to "surf" around (the bandwidth is okey with HSCSD, but..). We will soon have GPRS here in Norway. That will increase the speed a lot. The Hplx can not keep up, but thats okey. All I need is to get in touch with you guys here on the list and also a few newsgroups and ofcourse mails.

At least here in Germany the network provider "E-Plus" offers GPRS services only with a data transfer rate of 25 kbps. That is less than two full-used GPS time slots (half the speed of HSCSD). The big advantage is that you pay per byte and not per minute, so speed doesn't affect the bill anymore. I don't know if GPRS will ever be faster than that.

Great to hear from you! This is indeed a MUP - I don't think that there are much postings ever sent from a nobel prize winners meeting. I'm looking forward to more inventions coming from you after the "palmtop thermometer"! Did you get a nobel prize for that?

I think about a solution to synchronize it with the palmtop's built-in contacts database, as I developed already for the email/SMS address book for Post/LX (PDB2ADR). I know that the phone book entries on a mobile phone are readable and writeable with AT commands, so it is technically possible, even via IrDA using WWW/LX and a Robot script. So the way could be to extract PDB entries into a seperate text file containing pairs of name and mobile phone number and then to start a Robot script which reads that file and sends the entries, wrapped into the corresponding AT commands, to the phone. Has anyone already developed such a solution? Is anyone interested? If it turns out to be a new idea, and if I will develop the tool(s), it would be goud if someone could send me an overview of Nokia phone AT commands. I already have the PDFs describing Siemens AT commands.

Yes that would be great. I have wanted to do that since I got the Hplx. I now do something similar.

Yes I have used the ir.exe to transfer to and from the phone. But I have not found a way to transfer a complete Vcard from phone to Hplx. I have looked on the utilities which comes in the Pim/lx package. But I have not had the time to experiment more than a little with it. > So the way could be to extract PDB entries into a seperate text file > containing pairs of name and mobile phone number and then to start a Robot > script which reads that file and sends the entries, wrapped into the > corresponding AT commands, to the phone. What I do is to choose/highlight the name in the Hplx's phonebook and then runs a macro that chooses a smartclip and saves it to a file and then runs a batchfile which transfers it to the phone via ir.exe. > Has anyone already developed such a solution? I am not sure what I really want. I probably want a sync feature where I get all what is in the phones phonebook over to the Hplx. And have a field that says this I want transferred and this not..(just thinkng loud here..) > Is anyone interested?

You could go and download some of the atcommands from forum.nokia.com. I think you could find a pdf there under Datacard. I will have a look in my harddrive. I think I have it here somewhere. The main differences between a Nokia and other phones is that (6210/7110) has a biig phonebook. It can hold more numbers/info per name. (500/1000) That is what is nice with it. > I already have the PDFs describing Siemens AT commands. I have to think about what I want such a application to do. I will help you in any way I can..

They already purchased copies of the product. Lesson: Click on to our Website, and join the list - be the first in your neighbourhood to license a fantastic program ... Read on! Please keep in mind that I do not read the HPLX List, so if you post stuff for me - I will not able to see it unless my "clipping service" do their work for me. So best is to send inquiries to info@dasoft.com. If the question is of a general enough nature, I'll post it and answer back to the list. I will NOT mention names ... Avi M. ÝD&A¨ http://www.dasoft.com ---------- D&A Software is pleased to announce another program that was made available today, June 25 2001. It is called MindMap/LX, or MM/LX for short. This program, another excellent example of the talent of Andreas Garzotto, implements a technique of mind mapping for use on the HP Palmtop! This product is useful in mapping out ideas, thoughts, and also to summarize information in a hierarchical fashion. For example, it can be used in taking notes in lectures, or when preparing speeches, papers, and so on. Other uses include such diverse examples as computer picture albums, help files, manuals, project tracking, travel logs, and resumes. It was designed to run on the HP Palmtop, but there is a report that it runs well on a Jornada with PocketDOS emulation! There is a lot of information, examples, and even a brief tutorial on mindmaps on D&A Software's Website, at http://www.dasoft.com. You may download an unregistered copy from our Website and try it out. Its only limitation is that it will not save your mindmap if unlicensed (unregistered). The product is available from D&A Software for $29.95 per copy. You can use our order form at http://www.dasoft.com/orderfrm.htm to order the program. The most effective way for us to process your order is for you to send us the order form by fax (see the form for the fax numbers) or simply email the form to register@dasoft.com You may remove from the form those item that are not relevant directly to your order. Concerns with Credit Card Numbers in email: If you worry about this you may place one half of your credit card number in one email, and the other half of the number send (with your name please so we can put them together!) to register@alwaysafe.com We will put the two parts together. This program is sold electronically only: You download the program, we will supply the license information by email to you upon payment, you register the program, and its limitation is then magically removed! Once again, on behalf of myself and Andreas, the author, I wish to thank the diligent and talented Beta group. They have again proven that value and quality can be designed into a program product with care and persistence. Thank you all! If you have questions or comments please direct them to me, Avi Meshar, at info@dasoft.com. I am looking forward to reading your comments. Thank you for your continued support.

We feel similarly about MM/LX, we simply love it... Our turnaround time on orders is usually 1-2 days, but on occasions processing of orders took as much as 5 days, due to "crunch" at work, travel, etc. We beat the industry standards by 2 DAYS(!), albeit there are some faster (and much larger) processors. I hope I can live up to Alan's standards. I am also glad he wrote to us in person to inquire about what happened.

Very > puzzling. Palmtop.net may have older version, because it is not so well maintained, but it is still the center place to look for palmtop software. It is a collection of nearly EVERYTHING. So id one asks for palmtop software, it is nicer and easier to say "look at www.palmtop.net for everything you need" than to say "look on ftp.dasoft.com/..." for WWW/LX, on ftp.x.y for this, on "http://example.url.somewhere" for that.. The ideal way would be of course if palmtop.net wouldn't hold the software itself, but rather links to the sites which offer the latest versions. Everytime I find useful software on palmtop.net I ALSO look for a newer version, either with a provided link in the docs of that software, or, if necessary, with google.com GTX daniel -- Daniel.Hertrich@gmx.de phone: +49 177 7955549 Celia.Hertrich@gmx.de phone: +49 177 8616031 fax & voice mail: +49 721 151399479 http://www.daniel-hertrich.de ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2001 09:05:34 +0200 Reply-To: Daniel Hertrich Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Daniel Hertrich Subject: Re: USB light MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi friends, On Thu, 28 Jun 2001 19:18:36 -0400, Domingo wrote: > Perhaps you could ask them if they could make a serial port > version first (I think the wiring is rather different from > USB, even for such a > simple application).

In that case, it MAY run when powered from the palmtop's serial port. But it is not sure that it does. The palmtop provides about 10mA if an LED is connected WITHOUT current limiting resistor. You don'T need such a resistor, because the driver chip of the port has resistors built-in which stand short-circuits, even if they are unlimited in time. If the specs of the used LEDs are as good that they have a bright light, even with only 10mA, then the light may be useful if converted to fit into the serial port. For a HPLX connector and suitable wiring so that it even works with Stefan Peichl's LIGHTON TSR to switch it on and off by hotkey, look at http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/ledlight GTX daniel -- Daniel.Hertrich@gmx.de phone: +49 177 7955549 Celia.Hertrich@gmx.de phone: +49 177 8616031 fax & voice mail: +49 721 151399479 http://www.daniel-hertrich.de ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2001 04:20:09 -0400 Reply-To: Martin Bergvill Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Martin Bergvill Subject: Re: telnet app?

I'm not sure if it can run at the same time that WWW/LX drivers are loaded (it expects to find a packet driver loaded), but it has the advantage over straight telnet in that it doesn't send your password in the clear, and the session is encrypted. It may run a bit too slowly for a single-speed 200LX, though. Kermit and NCSA telnet have also been ported to DOS.

This is what I would like to do. You had a idea of something with cellphones and Hplx the other day..) I use my Hplx appointmentbook and also the calender in my Nokia 6210. I enter into the Hplx appointmentbook when I am supposed to be at work the next day and in the two weeks ahead. I also enter as a event if I have work that or that weekend. This is I also want in my phone. It takes me quite some time to enter it twice. I am not sure how the Vcal standard works. What I want to do is what I do in the Hplxphonebook. I put the cursor on the item I want to beam and then run a macro which uses a smartclip to save the entery in a file with the correct Vcard things that the 6210 then get beamed with the use of ir.exe I had a look at adb2vcal that are included in the Pim/lx package, but I can not get it to work. I am not sure how the Vcal "file" has to look like to get the 6210 to accept it. Is there anyone here that can help me out?

Nothing to 'fess up: I said it many times, and here it is again: There are three people on the list who kindly volunteered to pass along posts from here to me! One is Joe Smith, the other two have not given permission to say who they are. I have a subscription under info@dasoft.com with a NOMAIL option so I get nothing, but I can post. Still, regardless, I encourage you, and others to tell people to get uptodate and correct programs from our Website, not from unmaintained sites. It save time to your friends, save us time, and makes the whole system more credible. Unfortunately, Palmtop.net (waaay back) did not want to use links to our site, and instead decided to copy items. Consequently there is a lot of junk out there, and unhappy people who have no idea why stuff id not working (because it is old, obsolete, and has been fixed by us a long time ago, and no one bothered to maintain the site!) Don't get me wrong: I love what Palmtop.net does - it is important for the community, but I feel they slightly sabotage the main purpose of the repository. Some people, like Daniel, know better and add the (unnecessary) time to research and find more uptodate versions. But again - why bother if the whole thing can be done directly and with no hassles? I asked and never ever got an answer to why not make links. Oh well! Avi M.

I followed the steps described in the docs, but the perl script which shall help to create the ini file aborted while probing the charsets. It created an ini file containing the following Ýlanguages¨ from=English to=German Ýfiles¨ forward=eng_ger.wb backward=ger_eng.wb The I transferred everything to the palmtop and I can now invoke the program with lxdict eng_ger.ini but when I try to search for a word, I everytime get an error message which tells that something with the German Umlauts is wrong in the database file. Does anyone know what I have to do to adjust the settings manually (the documentation says that the auto-probing of the charset doesn't always work properly and that one have to do something manually then, but it doesn't say, WHAT to do).

Unless something changed since last time I checked that program a couple of years ago, the Nettamer link always took me to the author's web site.
