I create maps which basically contain the table of contents of the scripts and books I use (but only one map for one range of themes). Then I collect all information I get (direct information of Internet links etc.) and append them as children to the appropriate branches of the "table of contents". One result is that I never lose my aim because I always see what I have learned already and what not (here I use the checkk off feature, F7), another is that I can use easily other information (notes I have taken before and saved in files, documentations I have already downloaded before I have bought MM/LX) and embed it into the MM by creating links to files (¬F). And in addition everytime I fire up the map to continue learining I see not only one topic (as I do when opening a book), but I see all topics I have yet to learn. And last but not least: Learning brings real fun that way! :-) Thanks, D&A!

If you use a flash card or compact flash card, I strongly recommend to NOT use lxtools, but rather buy a 35$ CF card reader which works with linux (even some USB readers now work with newer linux kernels). Then you can backup your RAM drive regularily to the flash card (see http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/backuplx) and then back up the flash card to Linux into a tgz. That's the way I backup my LX (with a 96meg CF card).

This is a way of excluding the temporary files, but it is only a compromise, since some ZIPs contain other files (*., *.ini, *.cfg, *.whatever...) which should also be viewed with PE.

The funny thing is, when you first read the docs, it sounds much more complicated that it really is. Nowadays, it is difficult to imagine that with so really simple tools you can do THAT much, so you interpret a lot more into the docs than they really say. And that makes things seem more complicated. It is simply a record seperator. Nothing more.

In the US, cell phones have the same area code as the wireline phones in your same "home" area. They are seamlessly integrated in that your phone can be found anywhere in the country by dialing your number, including area code. In the area where I live, each carrier has a unique or set of unique "exchange" numbers (digits 4 - 6 in a number pattern like xxx-xxx-xxxx) in a particular area code. If a cell phone has the same area code and exchange as your phone, it is using the same carrier. But, a carrier may obviously use more than one exchange number, as there are only 9999 unique phone numbers for each area code-exchange number combination.

However, I still have a few questions: 1. Does alapim.com work if it is loaded in an SC system before SC (i.e. in autoexec.bat)? Does the alarm come up, no matter in which work area I am? 2. How does the alarm sound? As the one of the appointment book? 3. Linking records (which is the most interesting feature, IMO): I have understood, that I can link records using the +> tag. But: If I press Ctrl-Enter on such a tag, WHAT records are searched for? Only records with +p and with exactly the same title in all pim files? Or all records with any + tag? Must the title be EXACTLY the same, or are there tolerances? 4. migrating from built-in PIM apps to PIM/PE: Did anyone develop an easy way to migrate all current PIM data from the built-in apps to an appropriate PIM/PE format? (i have about 500 contact database entries, so I don't want to make this manually, and I also think the vcard format supported by the convert utilities is not an option, or is it? Is there a program for example which can handle a CSV file created by gdbio and can remove the quotes, put every field into a new line and put the appropriate + tags in front of every entry? 5. Can programs be started by PIM at a specific time (as it is possible with the appointment book)? I need to run my nightly backup automatically! That's all, so far.

What is it? It is a format which can be created by converting AVIs, so I thin it is something like a "diet AVI" format. I don't know anything more about it, but i way impressed how good a video can look on the LX screen with EVA. Even sound is supported. On SUPER there are the EVA player, the AVI converter and some sample videos. But I think due to the compression algorithms it is not suitable to display something like an animated GIF (which only contains very few images and they have probably to be displayed accurately pixel by pixel and not JPEG-like compressed). But it depends on the requirements Owen has.

An alternative to an Internet chat room could be a simple "talk" connection between unix machines. Do you have a unix or linux box with a talk client available? I have one, so we could find a time to "chat" by email and then simply "talk". You hould be able to talk to me by invoking "talk daniel@ÝIP-address¨", but my IP-address is dynamical.

Thank god it is the left side, not the right side. So you may have luck pushing the tube back down if you follow these steps: 1. Plug in the AC adapter 2. open the battery door 3. remove the battery which is near the left edge you now see a metal strip (which is a ground plate for the screen) and under it, on the very left side, you see a white round thing with a screw-like gap in the middle (under the minus spring of the battery, it is abt. 1cm in diameter) 4. In which direction points this gap? Horizontal, i.e. in the same direction as the metal plate (in this case it is probably covered by the metal plate, so you don't see the gap)? Or Vertical? If it is horizontal, this means, the tube is "unlocked" and you can safely push it back in place (but gently, please!). After that, go on with 6. 5. If it is vertical, the tube is actually locked and you must turn the white thing by 90 degrees first (no matter in which direction), then you can push the tube back. 6. then turn the gap vertical again. 7. If you have trouble to reach the gap (especially in its horizontal position), because the metal strip is covering it too much, try to bend the metal gently up a bit, so you should be able to reach at least a part of the gap with a small screwdriver. I hope this helps. If not, you might have to open the palmtop. If everything fails, and you don't want to open the palmtop, pay all shipping costs, and I will do that for you.

(press it) oh, if you really meant this one, forget about my description in the other mail. This is usually called "hinge cover" or so, with "tube" one actually means the long tube _between_ the hinges. My description means that one. If you mean the left hinge cover, you can really remove it completely, it is just cosmetical, maybe a little bit mechanical. But it shouldn't be a big problem to push it back either.

The reason is, I think, that this way you always have a way to delete files if your RAM drive becomes full and you have other applications open. The memory for filer is thus always reserved. However, there is a way to close filer with a trick. I have applied it to my system, but of course I don't remember te way. :-( Oh I just see a utility on SUPER which does the trick: http://www.palmtop.net/anonftp/pub/clsflr.zip It is described under the title "CLOSEFLR" GTX daniel -- http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/contact ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2001 17:18:40 +0200 Reply-To: Michael Berrier Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Michael Berrier Subject: Re: Filer - a stupid qestion Comments: To: Longden_Loo@CANDLE.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.

I can't answer the "why", but the LXSTAT program on SUPER will let you turn off the serial port power during bootup.

At the start of a calender year I have 4 PIM files : - CUR.PIM which holds data of the first quarter - 2002Q2.PIM for the second quarter - 2002Q3.PIM for the third quarter - 2002Q2.PIM for the fourthd quarter - 2001.PIM for last year - 2003.PIM for next year This helps keep files "small" which is good for the reindexing process =3D speed. At the end of each semester I append the file of the closed semester with the Year-to-Date file and rename the next semester to become my CUR.PIM. E.G. On monday Oct 1st I appended CUR.PIM with 2001.PIM and renamed 2001q4.pim to cur.pim. Nothing fancy. That way you only work with the most recent files. In PIM.CFG you can define ÝChoice¨ cur=3D 2002Q1=3D 2002Q2=3D 2002Q3=3D 2002Q4=3D 2000=3D 2001=3D 2002=3D That way you will be prompted where to save a done task etc. Try it. > What do you store in all the databases?

My experience is, you should not care about the serial port's status. Years ago I did extensive testing about the power consumption of the serial port regarding different baud rates. I had the palmtop running in a program loop with light sleep turned off and the serial power turned off. A fresh loaded pair of batteries gave me 12 hours before the palmtop said: main battery low. Then I did the same with the serial port turned on with 115200 baud. You know what? I also got 12 hours out of the recharged batteries. Since that time I'm no longer concerned about the serial port's power.

I copy all the files I want to upload into the directory from where I run FTP and the PUT is quite straightforward. My problem is that I can't upload *.wk1 files with FTP/LX to my Yahoo webpage.

The mythology behind was pushed as an explanation by HP. They said: It remains asleep and loaded in cases you eun out of space and cannot save a Lotus worksheet because there is no room on the disk. You can press Filer, delete something and save your sheet. This is pretty weak explanation, since in Lotus 123 you can key /feo and select the file you want to delete (erase in Lotus' lingo). I have never found any good reason for Filer to remain open. I never heard of anyone come up with a good explanation. You can change the entry of Filer to a "closable application" in the APPMGR.DAT file (where all the application definitions reside. In SUPER there is a program called CLOSEFLR. When you run it, it modifies the APPMGR.DAT permanently making FILER really closeable. The instructions are very explicit, and you must follow them VERY closely, literally exactly. Otherwise the procedure fails. Lastly, when you do it, Filer behaves SLIGHTLY different than other apps, in that it will require two FILER key presses to wake up after you put it to sleep. Hope this helps you. Avi Radek Svagr wrote: > May be a stupid question. In More Applications i have still Filler = marked as active or asleep, eating 58kB of memory. I can't close it using = F6...

Comments: To: vmbeazel@SWCP.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Here is the secret: When you install the icon, its image is placed in APPMGR.DAT (see c:\_dat) so you can take the icon - usually said to have to be in the same directory as the app - an move it somewhere else, or even delete it. Having said that, I published many years ago the following procedure, which let's you install an icon, no matter where it is located: 1. Press the blue &... - that puts you in the applications manager program. 2. Highlight the program you want to give an icon or change its icon. If you are entering the program for the first time, see below... 3. press Edit F3 4. Tab to Path field, where there is info on the program that is activated by this icon. 5. Press Fn =3D (Copy) the info. 6. Type on top of the program info the icon location: A:\misc\info\iconlist\icon1.icn or whatever the FULL PATH name is. Don't worry that this destroys the program information, because in step5 you copied that information to the SysMgr clipboard! 7. Tab to the icon area and scroll (up / down arrows) until you see your selected icon. If you do not see it, then you did not type the full path name of the icon correctly, or the icon is invalid. If invalid path, tab to PATH field and retpe the proper path name. If invalid icon, tab to PATH, press PAST (Fn .) and go find a valid icon. You are finished for now. 8. If you see the icon, it means that it is now included inside the APPMGR.DAT file! 9. Tab to the PATH field (which still has the icon path name) 10. Press PASTE (Fn .) to paste back in the program information. 11. Press OK, F10. 12. The end. Now you have an icon you like, which was not only in the same directory as the icon, but did not even have to have the same name as the application. Try it! This has worked for many years on my 100LXs, 200LXs and even I am told on OmniGo 700LX. Hope this helps.

Comments: To: Ulrich Allen <Ulrich.Allen@GMX.DE> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Uli: The syntax is this: PUT puts files from your palmtop into the directory on the server where you are currently connected. Syntax: put filename.xxx GET gets files from the directory on the server where you are currently and places them on the default directory in the palmtop. Syntax get filename.xxx Other helpful commands: lcd x:\pathname This will set the LOCAL directory (on the palmtop!) to x:\pathname (change to fit what you need it to be. So: lcd a:\utils\wwwlx changes my local (on palmtop) directory to a:\utils\wwwlx. get someutil.exe the file will be copied from the server to that directory. to copy from the palmtop a file at c:\data\interes\ing\filename.yes to the server: lcd c:\data\interes\ing\ then put filename.yes will copy from the plamtop to the current directory on the server. cd somedir changes the current directory to "somedir" on the server. ls lists the directory dir same action as on the Palmtop, lists the directory.

Sometimes I think there is some conflict between lxen2216.exe and SC. I don't connect to a windows network, but using LXTCP I occasionally have problems, usually with ftp. If I reboot and not start SC it works. I can then start SC and the problem is there again. A hard reset will usually fix it, but a couple times I have had to recreate SC's ems swap file. This doesn't happen often, but I use it daily so it comes up once in a while.

Lets assume, you downloaded a series of sattelite pictures to the palmtop, named sat_01.jpg ... sat_15.jpg. If you want to convert them to b&w PCX at half size, you only have to issue LXPIC sat_??.jpg/o- This command converts all JPG fitting the mask sat_?? to b&w PCX (command o) at half size (command -).

I found Geocities, and opened a webpage and sure enough could not upload lotus sheets to it using ftp/lx. But I could not upload any other files either! Ok, so the problem is not with spreadsheets, but with the ftp server of geocities. Totally different problem. I tried wsfpt and it woekd fine, so it seems some sort of incompatibility between that ftp server and ftp/lx.

They are unable to use the file import feature of Excel :( No need to import the 123 sheete - just open them directly in Excel - I do this often too! <G> In Excel: File - Open - click on File Type at the bottom of the OPEN window in Excel and select Lotus 1-2-3 files (*.wk?) - now double click the desired .wk* file in the window and keep your eyes on the screen.

A question: Do you mean the converter or do you mean the interface directly at the printer? If you mean the latter: parallel interfaces don't mind at which speed the data come in. If one byte comes, it is processed. If the next byte comes, this is processed. No need to synchrinize (at least not for printer application), because the receiving party knows how to combine all data. And since a parallel port is cabable to receive data at much higher speeds than 115.200, the sender side doesn'T have to be limited in spped in order to fit the requirements of the receiver.

You could string a couple of zener diodes together to give you a constant 12.9V drop. Because of power dissipation in the diodes, you would be just as well off to use a single cell (1.5V) flashlight (or two cell with dummy cell) and charge cells externally. In other words, most of your battery power will be used in heating the voltage dropping components.

It doesn't have (at least my old version 1.0) the ASCII or BINARY commands. It seems to default to the BINARY (also called IMAGE mode) on startup.

I hope no-one minds but I suspect this is a good place to get an answer, with all the PCMCIA knowlege we have here. I gave my nephew who just started college an IBM Thinkpad 365xd. This is a P120. An older computer. According to IBM it can take 2 type 2 PCMCIA cards or 1 type 3 card. I have another Thinkpad just like it and my type 2 modem works fine in it. My sister bought a PCMCIA network card from CDW but it won't fit in the computer. It's too big. CDW told her it's a type 2 card. She may be saying type II card. She isn't sure. But I thought either one should work in a modern device. I've never had any problem with any PCMCIA card in any of the many Thinkpads I've had over the years. But I've never had occasion to use a network card. She's taken the computer to a couple of places (they're in Arkansas) and they can't find a network card that will fit. Modem cards seem to be no problem. But he has to have a network card. CDW also tells her they don't have anything that will fit this computer. Does anyone have any ideas on this? I'm at a loss. My nephew and my sister both think I'm the world's greatest authority on things computer related and I can't let them find out the truth. :) Since this is off-topic it might be best to send any ideas by private email.

We have found many newer network cards are actually CardBUS, which has a similar mechanical package as a PCMCIA card, but the connector is keyed differently so it won't fit into a PCMCIA-only slot.

This began a few weeks back and resulted in an update of the CIS script for WWW.EXE. The symptom is that one could notl ogin to compuserve and the error message was a timeout while waiting for something. Here is the text of the FAQ item from http://www.dasoft.com/tnt.htm#post: ------------- COMPUSERVE DIAL UP WWW/LX all versions, added 13 Sep 2001. Recent problems with dialling in through Compuserve (CIS) brought up several suggestions for improvements. 1. Use the hardware flow control. This is generally affected by sending the modem "AT&F1". This will vary among modems, so you are advised to check in the modem documentation. Compuserve's modems seems to like this setting and will function with it better. 2. We (in the D&A Beta) noticed that Windows comes with a script for CIS. In the salient portion of the script it differs from the default script provided by D&A Software. CIS.SCP - from Windows: transmit $USERID, raw transmit "/NOINT/PPP:CISPPP¬M" This in NOT the entire script! The comparable script portion from the CIS_Script in the WWW.CFG: e=3DSending login l=3D s=3D+/GO:pppconnect\r This in NOT the entire script! In both cases the userid is sent ("transmit $USERID, raw" in CIS.SCP and "l=3D" in CIS_Script), followed by the sequence to to tell CIS to login to establish a PPP connection "transmit "/NOINT/PPP:CISPPP¬M"" in CIS.SCP, and "s=3D+/GO:pppconnect\r" in CIS_Script. During the troubles dialling up from the Palmtop, the desktop connection kept working flawlessly using the same modem and the same number. And so we tried the desktop's script with modifications. Here is the modified script which works for me (Avi and for Tony and other participants in the Beta) without any problems.

Don't know about moreexm, but I just go to the Applications Manager screen (the one with the icons, and press F8 - list, which then shows me what you say moreexm does. F6 closes applications.

Yes, everyone in the beta noticed that this script moves along much much faster, but for me there was no difference in speed. I did not add the speed item because the most important feature in the script is that it lets you _connect_ <g>... The extra few seconds gain is a bonus! > So I recommend to try it even if you don't have any troubles. I think sooner or later everyone will have to use this, as it seems Compuserve is moving their login servers to this script. The modified script works even on the older login servers which know to work with our old script, because the modified script is a mirror (nearly!) of the CIS.SCR which was distributed with the Win95 DUN. I believe that came out in 1995, about a year before we came out with our WWW/LX and the CIS script. I agree with your recommendation - just modify the script, it is easy enough to do. I'll look into our own facility to add scripts, in WWWSETUP.EXE. I have not used it in years and do not quite remember how it works! <g> But this will make things easier for people, maybe. Avi M.

Currently I am using Qwest DSL with OfficeWorks and static IPs which is geared towards people running their own servers. Now I am in the process of buying a house and have found that most likely DSL is not supported in the neighborhood. I am searching for other broadband providers that service the area, but so far I have found that they: 1- do not allow servers, 2- No static ips, and 3- severely throttle the outbound speed. The prospects do not look good. I've checked out colocation services. Way too expensive. It would be cheaper (about $80) to offer a friend free DSL and run my servers from their home. I have also looked into webhosting some. While rates for a small site are quite reasonable (I've seen $10/month), a site the size of the archives soon adds up to quite a bit. I'm still hoping that I will be surprised and find DSL is now (or soon) available at my new home, but I'm not holding my breath. So, I'm looking for any suggestions. Some information so you know what the requirements are: The archives, indexes and supporting files currently are at just under 1Gb. This could be pared down some, but would probably still be in the 700-800 Mb range, if I did offsite reprocessing. Traffic averages about 4000 page requests a day, but this varies a lot. Max was about 30,000 in one day. About 1.4M in the last year. Data transferred runs about 25-35 Mb/day. The web pages require cgi-bin support, with perl. The archiving and searching require compiling and installing unix/linux compatible software. The indexing process currently uses over 200MB ram memory while it is running. The mapblast pages require installation of a graphics utilities package, and extra perl modules. I also host archives for the omnibook mailing list and a libretto mailing list. These are smaller, and actually I think are included in the 1Gb figure above. So, any suggestions would be appreciated, other than looking for a different house. <g> It took too long to find this one. Of course I may not get it so this may all be moot. I hope that this will only be a temporary situation and that I will once again have servers at home. (Oh crap, I'll have to go back to using an ISP for email). If I don't come up with a solution to keep the archives, etc. on line, I will keep them updated in the hope that I can offer them again in the future.

The problem in detail: I get a connection to the ISP modem 100%. The connection speed I have set is displayed on the screen. I tried all from 9600 - 115200 Baud, All of them work. (I use the 56K = Pcmcia Modem Card from EXP) After the connect the LCP Dialog starts. I see little arrows upwards and downwards on the screen. sometimes this ends after about 6 or 7 arrows with a "done" message, but sometimes it never stops until the connection is aborted.

Did you check whether something liks "Sky-DSL" is available? I don't know if it is the official name for this technology, or a product name. It is DSL over satellite. So it should be available everywhere (where the regarding satellites cover the area, in Europe this is the eutelsat system). However, IIRC the DSL line can only be used for the downstream, for the upstrem you still may have to use a modem line. So it might be not valuable for your server application. But rather check it out, I can be wrong! I hope you find as uitable and not too expensive solution for your great services. I seldom use LX-Mabplast, but when I use it, I really need it. ;-) And the searchable list archives are a must!

The size of this board is just slightly bigger than the Hp 200lx,but a smaller version could be used with a less powerful processor (200Mhz?). Quoting from Transmeta's site: Processor: Crusoe TM5x00 Processor Speed: 600MHz Memory: 64/128 MB onboard and up to 256MB SDRAM VGA: - Dimensions (WxH): 3.6 x 3.8 x 0.4 Ýin¨; 91.4 x 96.5 x 10.1 Ýmm¨ Advanced Micro Peripherals Ltd introduces the first PC/104+ computer featuring Transmeta s ultra low power Crusoe processor the Tiny886ULP. With a standard 3.6 x 3.8 inch PC/104 form factor, the Tiny886ULP is 100% compatible with MSDOS, Linux, Windows95/98/NT/2000/CE and a wide range of RTOS such as QNX, VxWorks, pSOS, etc. The Tiny886ULP offers an unprecedented performance/power ratio. The Crusoe processor is x86 compatible and provides computing performance with low power consumption. In addition to standard peripheral controllers for disks, Keyboard and Mouse, and serial ports, the Tiny886ULP features Fast Ethernet Controller capable of operating at 10/100MBits/sec. The built-in FlashDisk option provides Hard Disk emulation using M-Systems Disk-on-Chip (DOC). Unlike other previous high performance solutions, the new Tiny886ULP conforms to the PC/104+ footprint and height allowing top and bottom stacking. With on-board 10/100MBit Ethernet and maximum power consumption of less than 9 Watts at 600MHz, the Tiny886ULP provides exceptional level of integration, performance/power ratio for the widest range of embedded applications. The low power consumption means that only a passive heat sink is required for system cooling even at very high clock speeds. The Tiny886ULP provides unprecedented performance/power consumption ratio and reliability for embedded and wearable computer applications.

The procedure started running and then everything locked up tight. After waiting about 20 min., I rebooted, knowing that disaster was close at hand. Upon bootup System Doctor reports low to med range of CPU usage, when I access the dial-up (particularly during "verifying name and password") CPU usage goes to 100%. It will remain at 99-100% until I ctrl-alt-del and end task a program - any program. It is at 100% as I type this. Still works, but subject to blue-screen at any time. I have tried end-task individual programs, and removed a few suspect programs using Start-Cop, each time re-booting and re-testing. Also tried using ME's System Restore, it comes back each and every time "unable to restore". I put this thing together myself, and you'd think that sometime during the 3 weeks it's been up and running I'd have created some Rescue Disks. Nope. Too busy installing/configuring all this stuff.. Am I looking at a re-format/startoveragain? Is there an expert out there who can tell me it's in the Registry and here's what to do? Is there a little task-bar utility that will flush/refresh things and bring the CPU usage back to normal? This system is Celeron 900, 256megs, Win ME, 20gigs. Any advice would sure be appreciated.

My goal is to run my accounts, in DOS, in Quicken, on a CF card on an unmodified 100LX (my backup), so the 200LX can go to the shop, when it needs it. PPS.

Bob, I think this could be a very interesting option at some point. But for now, it has too many problems. Tech support is said to be very poor. It claims upstream speeds of 128k, but most people seem to get 10-30k (that's slower than a modem). The company Pegasus Broadband is working on it. And the satellite dish is $700. Interesting, but I don't think adequate for my purposes. Thanks for the info.

But I seem to remember there was a built-in backup feature which made a copy of the registry everytim it is modified (at least in Win95 this was the case). I think you can simply delete the corrupted registry files and windows will restore the old ones when rebooting. But since I am not sure I recommend not to delete them entirely, but maybe renaming them or moving them onto a diskette.

I have done this with one of my palmtops. There is a little bit of space behind the PCMCIA slot under the left hinge. David Sargeant has mounted a 2.5mm-mono connector there, I have used another connector. I can send you a picture if you like. I have managed it this way that I can insert a four-pin plug there either in one position, then the internal speaker is switched on, or turned by 90 degrees, then the internal speaker is switched off. I have even connected the whole thing in a way that I can connect an MP3 player (or walkman) simultanously and push both sources into one head phone. I used it to create ring melodies for call phones with the palmtop: I heard the original songs with an MP3 player and simultanously could create the beep sounds with a music program on the LX.

To further clarify the issue, the only SunDisk models stated to work with the 95LX are the series SDP5, SDPL5, and SDP5A. I believe that some old Maxtor linear flash cards will work in the 95LX without drivers, but I have not verified this. I use SDP5 series 10 and 20 MB cards in my 95LX (both SunDisk branded and Epson branded). The cards seem to require good power, so I cannot write to them when the batteries drop below about 2.5V. Reading/writing to the cards also causes horizontal lines to flash across the screen (both on battery or on transformer power). I don't know if this is a problem with 95LX's in general or just with my unit.

This driver somehow let the ATA card to work in memory mode. So simple answer is only Sundisk. However there are many cards on market like CANON or some HAMA cards actually made by Sundisk.

Bob, I think this could be a very interesting option at some point. But for now, it has too many problems. Tech support is said to be very poor. It claims upstream speeds of 128k, but most people seem to get 10-30k (that's slower than a modem). The company Pegasus Broadband is working on it. And the satellite dish is $700. Interesting, but I don't think adequate for my purposes. Thanks for the info.

Did you check whether something liks "Sky-DSL" is available? I don't know if it is the official name for this technology, or a product name. It is DSL over satellite. So it should be available everywhere (where the regarding satellites cover the area, in Europe this is the eutelsat system). However, IIRC the DSL line can only be used for the downstream, for the upstrem you still may have to use a modem line. So it might be not valuable for your server application.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi Al, It seems to be your SMTP server which doesn't do the trick. I use distribution lists with Post/LX and never get that. But look at your quoted message: The Subject is _in_the_message_, i.e. there is a blank line before the Subject line. So maybe your distribbution list is currupt? So you follow the strict syntax: one email address per line, and a carriage return after _every_ (also the last) email address, but after the last one, really ONLY ONE carriage return. I have written a tool "pdb2adr" which can create distribution lists from the built-in phone book (based on categories). Maybe try that. It follows the rules.

So far all o.k.. it seems that the number I got is even toll free from my Hotel room. The only problem I have is that the connection to the ISP sometimes works sometimes not. The problem in detail: I get a connection to the ISP modem 100%. The connection speed I have set is displayed on the screen. I tried all from 9600 - 115200 Baud, All of them work. (I use the 56K = Pcmcia Modem Card from EXP) After the connect the LCP Dialog starts. I see little arrows upwards and downwards on the screen. sometimes this ends after about 6 or 7 arrows with a "done" message, but sometimes it never stops until the connection is aborted. If the LCP Dialog is successful, everything runs fine and I can download and upload all my email as usual. I use version 2 of www/post and the chap-script as provided. and yes, I had the impression that the modem sounds different when a connection will be successful or not - but this is just a faint feeling, not sure about it. cheers, Werner -- mail powered by HP200/LX WWW/LX mailto:furlan@gmx.net ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2001 13:31:16 -0400 Reply-To: Martin Bergvill <hplx@BERGVILL.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Martin Bergvill <hplx@BERGVILL.COM> Subject: Re: mu-linux .. your email to hplx200 list MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit On Sun, 7 Oct 2001 07:01:58 +0530, pk sharma wrote: > there was some 'wish list' abt what > someone would like to see in another > Lx200 lookalike .. what would YOU want > in a replacement for YOUR Lx200 ?

Login and Password can be anything, AFAIK, and ModemInit, Baud and Modem are probably not needed ;-) Don't know why I have them in my Ýether¨ section. I run it with a Linux box, which is connected via a DSL line to my ISP. Peer_IP is my Linux box (the private subnet address, not the IP address I get from the ISP), and I have set up IP masquerading on the Linux box. Works _very_ fine, very fast, very cheap. Note that you can easily use the mechanism from SETCOM.BAT (which you should use when you sometimes connect via ethernet and sometimes via modem / cell phone or so) also when disconnecting. Simply put PostOnline=postonl.bat in your post.cfg Ýsystem¨ section and create a batch file postonl.bat which look like this: @echo off rem look if ethernet connection is established (=lan card in slot) lxcic>NUL if not errorlevel 6 goto nolan echo LAN card detected.

Wow ! that was fast reply ! ok .. so lets get together & do some more work on this idea .. anybody else wanting to contribute their ideas/dreams/wishes/efforts ? bst wshs pk ----- Original Message ----- From: <kidrhino@wizard.com> Hi. Yes, I would really like to see a gadget that would fit in a pocket, and which would have certain ports: a keyboard port, a VGA port, 2 serial ports, a parallel port, a mouse port, possibly a USB port. My original idea was to find a way to build a device about the size of a Palm Pilot, with a hard disk and several ports. The problem is that getting data into and out of this would require special connections and software. Using a Zip drive as the core of the device provides instant relief for this. I don't have the design skills for the hardware, but I have a good idea of how it should be implemented. For example, power should be supplied via a source that's compatible with battery, so that the Zip drive power brick can be used, a car adaptor can be used, or a generic Radio Shack adaptor can be used. It should NOT have a custom battery. It should use low-power components -- this is more important than speed. It should be designed so that if the drive component fails it is easily replaced, for example with the internal IDE version of the drive. The object of all this is a light, portable, easily interfaced computer which can be plugged into generic components. It is not intended to be a laptop or notebook computer replacement. I can imagine having some kind of lightweight docking station which would include a small flat screen and keyboard similar to that used in a laptop/notebook, but it should be independent of this, making it possible to simply take it somewhere, connect peripherals, and use it. The only way this is viable is if it is CHEAP. If it's expensive, then there is no point to doing it at all. We already have laptops and notebooks for about $1,000, so this would have to be $200 or so to have a chance. It could be done as a project kit: "Turn your Zip drive into a computer for $200" or something like that. As you can see, the ideas are still in the creative state, and nothing is concrete. How would you go about bringing this into being? ~~Garry Hamilton kidrhino@wizard.com ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2001 17:43:13 +0200 Reply-To: Daniel Hertrich <daniel.hertrich@GMX.DE> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Daniel Hertrich <daniel.hertrich@GMX.DE> Subject: German Holidays #1/2 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi friends, I have set up a list of German holidays in PIM/PE format. It is a quite long list, and it may still contain some errors. Germans, please, even if you don't use PIM, have a look at the list and tell me if you find an error! Thanks to Andreas' Easter calculation algorithm, it is possible to "implement" many of the variable holidays as relative to Easter. Please look especially if you find errors in the kind of the holiday (katholisch, evangelisch) and in the enumeration of the Bundeslaender they apply to. The repetition parameters (behind the date in the "+(" lines) should be quite self-explanatory, even for non-PIM users. "y" means yearly, "Easter" means yearly at Easter. Once you have helped me eliminating all errors, I will pubish the list, either on my homepage or on the D&A homepage or directly in the PIM/PE archive (have to ask Andreas if he wants this). =======BEGIN OF LIST======= +.

It started out as an icon-based substitute for the Filer application, but X-Finder has grown to a full GUI with single and double window displays, icon assignment by file extension, a desktop ("palmtop"), a trash can, a mouseless cursor, long filename support, full directory (folder) and file management, application launching (directly or by file type), built-in browsing and manipulation of .ZIPs, .LZHs or .ARCs (archives are treated like folders), built-in macros, built-in client/server functions and more! You can download X-Finder from S.U.P.E.R., from http://www.ne.jp/asahi/alpha/beta/xf/index.htm ... or from the author's Webpage at http://www.estyle.ne.jp/gaku/ . I recommend Version 11 Beta 13, as it is the most fully-featured and apparently quite stable. Oh yeah, X-Finder also supports "themes" -- with the appropriate icons, window frames, desktop wallpaper and cursors -- so it can look like your favorite desktop GUI. Icon sets, window frames and desktop wallpaper for Windows, MacOS9 and MacOSX are available from Japanese page http://homepage2.nifty.com/Sierra/hp200lx.html. Icon sets for Windows 95, MacOS8, BeOS and IRIX are also available on S.U.P.E.R. Within the next two weeks, I will make available full theme sets (icons, windows, desktop and cursors) for Win 9.x, MacOS9, MacOSX, BeOS, IRIX, Gnome, KDE, NeXT, QNX (Photon), OS/2, OLWM, CDE and maybe Amiga!

Any ideas from the group would be appreciated. If I remember right, gdbload requires that you manually create an empty database beforehand, with all the right fields. gdbload then just populates it with the converted data. It may just be complaining about a missing "target" gdb if you didn't create it. Also, after gdbload completes and you try to open the gdb (if you get that far), you usually get an error message (I forget again the specifics), but which is easily corrected by going to F6 (subset) to create a subset of All Database Items. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2001 19:03:19 -0700 Reply-To: hobchi@hotmail.com Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: hobchi <hobchi@YAHOO.COM> Subject: Ikon desperation In-Reply-To: <HPLX-L%2001100914435916@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii To all who see these greetings I would like to put extra ikons on my sysaps window.

You give me an excellent idea: With a small modification, one could use pin 10 of the serial port, which is actually used for shielding ground (and can probably be replaced by pin 5, signal ground), to lead out the speaker signal. Only thing to worry about is the ground for the speaker signal. If it is identical to the RS232 signal ground pin 5, no problem. If it is not, I have to think a few more minutes. I'll make some measurements soon. It is better to use an existing connector than to add another one!

This was a known problem with some 95's that HP was at one time fixing, even after warranty ended. I would doubt that they still fix it but you might try contacting them. I'm not sure that I ever read what caused it. Sometimes removing all of the batteries (including backup, so BACKUP all of your data) for a few days would "fix" it. So you might try removing all batteries and pressing and holding the ON button to discharge any capacitence??? Or remove the batteries and let it sit for a half week. good luck ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2001 14:30:25 +0000 Reply-To: fjkaufman@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: "F.

The database doesn't have to be empty - it will replace the data in an existing database, or it will append if you use the "-a" switch. But you have to specify the *existing* GDB (or PDB) file on the command line, like this: gdbload myfile.gdb newtext.txt In this example, myfile.gdb must already exist.

I bought a Type II SanDisk 160 MB Compact Flash, but made the mistake of buying a Type I adapter - definitely not interchangable. I checked with SanDisk, based on the assumption that "Sandisk should sell them, if they sell the type II CF cards," but they said that they only make the Type I adapter. However, some other list members pointed me to the right place to buy the right adapter. Here are a couple of sources: http://www.microtechint.com/qs-cfIIadp.html http://www.provantage.com/ I bought mine from the first source, and have been happy with its quality.

No mouse is required, though I imagine one could be used with the aid of a TSR that substitutes mouse signals at the serial port for key strokes. The mouse pointer is already animated to make it look like it is moved by a mouse, not by keys. In X-Finder, the mouse pointer is moved from icon to icon by the cursor keys, and also by the ÝTab¨ key to jump between windows. Pressing ÝEnter¨ on an application icon starts that application (.COM, .EXE, .BAT or .EXM). Pressing ÝEnter¨ on a file icon opens that file, using the application designated for that filetype in the preferences. (If no application is specified, the file is opened in the viewer application designated in the preferences.) Pressing ÝShift¨+ÝEnter¨ on a file icon opens that file, using the editor application designated in the preferences. Pressing ÝEnter¨ on a folder icon opens the subdirectory which that folder represents. The top left icon in each window is ".View Up", and pressing ÝEnter¨ on that icon opens the parent directory. Pressing ÝEnter¨ on an archive icon (.ZIP, .LZH or .ARC) opens the archive as if it subdirectory, showing the files within. Pressing ÝSpace¨ on any icon(s) selects it(them) for file manipulation, such as deleting, or copying or moving between windows -- even if the item is inside an archive. Pressing ÝCtrl¨+ÝA¨ selects all icons in a window. And most of the above can be customized to suit your tastes! The only big difference here between X-Finder and Windows is that the windows cannot be moved or resized. You can see one full-screen window (640 x 200 scrollable with up to 8 icons at a time), two half-screen windows (each 320 x 200), or no window in which case the desktop (called "palmtop") is shown. This allows X-Finder to use static images to represent the windows. Oh, there are other big differences between X-Finder and Windows: X-Finder is several times faster, uses only 39K of RAM, and only crashes if you really deserve it! All in all, I find X-Finder very simple and intuitive to use, and I'm sure folks who aren't comfortable with command lines would love it.

Using Stacker doesn't get around this problem, but would limit you to a 16MB card (stacked to 32MB). It has been reported in the list that CF cards will draw about 22mW power even when the LX is turned off, so they would need to be removed when not in use to prevent battery drain. I have not used CF cards in my 95LX, so I can't comment on which brands are best. Again, I have SunDisk Flash card drivers and utilities if anyone needs them.

It is definitely a failure on the motherboard, so if the old one works good, you can simply exchange it and you're done. I did that often before with 200LXs and 100LXs.

So > sending it in for repair is not an option for me. I have exchanged my first 200LX about 3 times within the warranty. HP worked together with the company "TomTech" here in Germany. Within a few days after my phone call, a UPS or DPD guy came along, brought me a new or like-new machine and took the old one. Everytime a good service. The reason why I exchanged so often was a bug in the software (which all German 200LX have, but I didn't know that at that time). Not a bad bug, but slightly annoying.

I had this problem with my 95lx about 2 years after the warranty ended. I called them and told them I had heard the repair for this was free. They wouldn't discuss that. Their answer was be prepared to pay for the repair. ( think it was $187 back then). I sent it in, hoping for the best. They fixed it (replaced the motherboard) and sent it back no charge. So I suspect that calling to ask them won't help you find out if they'll still fix it free. I'd guess you would still have to send it in and take your chances. I doubt that your chances of getting it free are that good this far down the road, but who knows. It's probably cheaper to buy a used one now. The problem is that you won't know when your batteries are really dead. But if you can track that yourself and the problem doesn't irritate you to death, it shouldn't really affect the operation of the 95lx.

That's the motherboard of the 95lx they destroyed in the PH repair center. I don't know if it's still working at all. I just kept it for parts just in case I get another one with some hardware defects :-\ > Everytime a good service. I had a broken display on my first 95lx. It still worked, but there was only a small portion of the screen that was not shattered. So I called HP and sent the 95lx to them. About 2-3 months later I got it back with a small note, that displays for the 95lx are (currently?) not available. The 95lx was in the same condition it was in when I shipped it to HP. The only problem was, that these %$'*#'! removed the batteries (which I was supposed to keep in the 95lx) an put them back in the wrong way. So when I got it back, the batteries had leaked and destroyed the battery-contacts, the speaker and parts of the keyboard :-( Thank you, HP. regards, Oliver ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 11 Oct 2001 13:15:40 -0700 Reply-To: Joseph.Buford@HSC.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Joseph Buford <Joseph.Buford@HSC.COM> Subject: Attn Mecical Prof-Agilent Wave Viewer- MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Does anyone have need of or can use these: You are bidding on 2 Agilent Wave Viewer PCMCIA cards for HP 200LX palmtop computers.

I'm not into electronics to have much idea but would guess it has something to do with the power circuitry and not necessarily the motherboard. I'm not sure if anyone at thaddeus (aka palmtoppaper) knows what the real problem was. I knew quite a bit (at one time) but never actually heard details on what the problem was. If I recall it would occur only after lack of power for a while - in other words, as long as batteries were changed regularly and it did not lose power, the problem would not occur. I recall that it only occurred for folks who had not used the unit or had the battery die????? But I may not recollect fully!

Item 1: You only need a capacitor or capacitors in ONE of the two lines. Typically this will be the signal line as opposed to the ground. Item 2: You only need two capacitors if you're using polarized capacitors (tantalums, most electrolytics, etc.). If so, you want to put them in series and front-to-back (i.e., either put the two + sides together or the two - sides together). If you use a non-polarized capacitor you only need one. Item 3: It sounds like we're talking about banging a signal out of the serial port. If that's the case, you're not going to have much usable in the way of low frequencies anyway, so there's really no point in using a large capacitor. (You also don't need a large cap if you're driving a relatively high impedance amplifier input.) Probably a .1 uF disc will give you all you need, and it'll be cheaper that way as well. Let us know how it goes!

Ring.com still shows much EMI during the connection to the base station is established, but once it is established, EMI drops to almost zero if the phone is more than abt 5 cm away from the LX. But this seems to be different depending on the immediate surrounding of the arrangement (material of surface on which the devices are, or whatever... Because in some locations I still get much EMI interference with the new software version. What REALLY helps in such a case is the trick someone mentioned here about half a year ago (Tomas Moberg, I think): Hold the phone with your right hand during the whole connection that way: palm of hand onto display, 3rd anf 4th finger around the phone (above the display) to little under the antenna connector on the back. That way the EM waves surrounding the phone seem to be bundled in a way that the LX isn't affected anymore. It is a little bit of an acrobatic exercise, but if ou need a reliable connection in a surrounding which causes too much EMI, you should try that. I have now ordered the Ericsson T39m and I am curious what benefits it brings (especially regarding the EMI problem). I hope that it sill arrive in one week or so.

I have a Kodak DC4800 with two macro lenses that let me take excellent close up photos. I know the price of the DC4800 has been falling on Ebay. If that's still not low enough for you, then you have to research other lower cost digital cameras that sell macro lenses as an attachment. Here's the link to the lenses for the DC4800. http://www.kodak.com/US/en/digital/accessories/lenses/ektanarCloseUpLens.jht ml What does this have to do with the 200LX. Idunno! Only that the 200lx really has a hard time with the huge photos generated by the DC4800. If you want to view the images on your 200LX, then you'll need to take smaller pictures!

Russ, I can't help much except to say that I'm also using 2.2g, all day every day and have never had this problem. My unit is double speed with Post/LX running in a software carousel session. Also running DOS only Buddy in the background. Every "funny" behaviour I've ever had with Post/LX I've traced back to Buddy.

I now have v3 and it doesn't appear anymore. I sometimes have had problems when using PIP for packing the email files. Some pointer problems, so that wrong mails have been opened when pressing enter on a highlighted mail. I now use PIP only when the disk space is insufficient, otherwise I use the built-in packing routines (but only manually with ¬P and ¬R). And WHEN I use PIP, I do a ¬P ¬R when PIP is finished. No problems anymore.

I can highly recommend the Casio QV8000SX for that. - Two resolutions: 1 Megapixel and VGA. - Zoom: 8* optical and 4* digital - macro shots (with the same lens as all other photos! No need to switch) until a few mm behind the lens! - aperture and shutter seed manually adjustable - takes CF card (I usually use a 64 MB Sandisk which takes ~80 photos with the high resolution and 400 photos with VGA resolution. - Works with 4 AA Alkalines or rechargeables - You can use standard 43mm-filters with the lens - built-in flash Almost all pictures on my home page are taken with this camera. Look especially on the electronics close-ups! http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/emi/index.shtml#drawings http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/s25_hplx/index.shtml#part2 (of course I didn't use the high resolution for the Internet pictures!)

It was the bigger one on http://www.xybernaut.com/newxybernaut/Solutions/product/matc_product.htm Funny thing, especially the little "virtual" screen is nice, but you have to get used to it until yu can effectively use it. the main unit is bigger than the HPLX (about twice the volume), you have to wear the headset with headphones, screen and microphone and a battery pack, which is again the size of the HPLX. You look really like an alien then. The professor said, we should make a presentation for our project sponsors wearing this thing, but we rather used normal PCs for this presentation! ;-) But then you are ready to use Windows 98 on the road and you could theoretically open a DOS windows and run a palmtop emulator in it to use WWW/LX (with wireless LAN or GPRS / HSCSD. That Xybernaut we used was a 400 MHz Intel machine with 128 MB RAM. You can even install Linux or a pure DOS on the Xybernaut. It is a standard PC with PCMCIA slot and all common interfaces. If you have to entry data a lot via kayboard, you need the wrist keyboard which is mounted on the left wrist so that you can use the right hand to press the keys. Hm - probably easier to mount a 200LX on the left wrist. Much less to carry around. ;-) GTX daniel -- http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/contact ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 14 Oct 2001 19:20:32 +1000 Reply-To: Paul Johnson <paulj@SILCHIP.COM.AU> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Paul Johnson <paulj@SILCHIP.COM.AU> Subject: Re: PostLX 2.2g line pointer incorrect MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit I'm using WWW/LX v3, I've seen this happen as well.

For example, the Set= entries seem to not allow empty values (so "Set=" causes problems, rather set it to "Set=abcde" if you have the sets a,b,c,d and e defined, or maybe leave the Set line entirely away). Especially a "null pointer assignment" when leaving Post/LX or WWW/LX is suspicious.

If you are talking about Version 2 then I am not in this discussion <g>... If you are talking about WWW/LX Version 3 exhibiting the Set=3D behaviour than this is a myth - I have a bunch of empty set statements... It is then unique to your CFG file. I hope we won't start spreading rumors that one can get Anthrax if some parameter in a config file is misspelled. <G> Rather, when POST.EXE brings in parameters from the CFG file it goes after things that have a correct spelling - i.e. it says: "Give me the content of parameter XYZ" and spells it right. If you have parameter XYZ spelled "DANIEL" then POST.EXE will get a null. It is not going after parameter "DANIEL=3D" because it does not need it. Now, with Set and Sets=3D there is a slight complication! One says which parameter is CURRENTLY being displayed and the other says with groups (sets) the mailbox belongs to. But the spelling is similar and it is easy to put the wrong one in the wrong place. That seems to tend to override, taking the last appearance as the effective one, but not always, in my experimentations. But then again, let's not analyze the behaviour of a program when you give it wrong stuff to do - let's just give it the right stuff to do. You also should know that ANY folder with NEW UNREAD email will display on the screen no matter which set you chose to display (that is supposed to tell you and remind you that you have email!!!) and in any case, box MAIL will ALWAYS display anyway. If this is the strange behaviour you mentioned, then it is "strange" by design - "working as coded and as planned!". Hope this helps you and everyone else on this thread...

And I'll throw in my 2 bits for the Canon S10/S20 (available on CNET for about $311/$345, respectively). They don't have the manual aperture/shutter control that the Casio has, but they do have an optical viewfinder and a macro mode for close-ups. They also have a playback zoom that's handy for reviewing your photo in close detail (otherwise hard to see on a 1.5" LCD), so you can better tell what's treasure and trash. And if you really need the space, they'll also take a Microdrive.

Don't know about Psion machines, but I think they all use the IrDA protocol. The IR port of an IrDA modem and the IR port of the LX are not compatible, because the HP doesn't speak IrDA, but HPSIR (an older IR protocol). The only chance to use an IrDA modem with the LX is to use D&A's WWW/LX which supports IrDA. But maybe that modem is also capable to speak HPSIR. Rather clarify that before you buy it!

It's an expression of one's own feelings. Same thing as saying "She's the most beautiful girl in the world" or "You're a S.O.B" or "You're a dipstick". The first doesn't result from having phsyically compared all the girls in the world (although some might be reluctant to admit that). The second isn't a comment on the love life of the mother of the person receiving the comment, or even about that person. Actually I'm not sure there might not sometimes be truth in the dipstick remark, but generally not. In each statement the subject was the speaker. So, it's entirely possible and logical (in a semantical sort of way) to tell someone to go to hell even though neither you nor that person believes in an afterlife.

It is half a keyboard, the size of a PalmPilot. You type with left hand just like before. To type letters on the right side of the keyboard, you press the space bar and hit the letter. The letter you hit is the same as you would have if you used your right hand. E.g. D pressed, produces D. D pressed with the Shift, produces K, which is the same relative position of the finger on the right hand. If you are a touch typist they say you can be rolling within minutes. I am not, and so it might take more time. They have versions for various PalmPilots, Handspring, PCs (Win and DOS and Linux, via PS/2 or USB connectors) as well as Macintosh (via USB.) Price is $99. Website http://halfkeyboard.com. Also a Werable halfkeyboard, you wear on the wrist, $299. They also offer an X2 halfkeyboard which is really weird: It is the full keyboard, but it has the features of a halfkeyboard built-in, i.e. you can type with both hands like a normal keyboard, or switch to typing on it as if it was a halfkeyboard, typing with your left hand (leaving the right hand free) or typing signle handed with the right hand (leaving the left hand free). For some reason this strikes me a strange, although on thinking about it makes sense, sort of, if you ignore the space benefit, and just look at the keyboard's benefits in terms of typing with one hand and having the other hand free for other, related tasks. (the X2 is $99). I wonder if it is useful for the Palmtops, and if anyone saw or used it. Creator is Edgar Matias. Matias Corp. sells the software version for the halfkeyboard, see http://halfqwerty.com - he is quite a brain. .

If the modem is only IrDA, yes. If it also can speak HPSIR, you can use every software on the HP. Only WWW/LX has a built-in IrDA stack, which uses the (HPS)IR-interface and encapsulates all data into the IrDA protocol which is then sent over the IR interface. In other computers, either the BIOS or a Windows driver does this IrDA encapsulation, AFAIK, so it is software-independent. Simply click the software to use COMx and the serial data will be sent as IrDA. But since you cannot create a DOS-driver which captures all data sent to COM1, encapsulate it into IrDA and then forward it to COM1, it is not possible to make IrDA software-independent on the palmtop. If you need more exact explanation, Stefan Peichl can probably tell ou more. > I'll send them an email regarding their modem being able to use "HPSIR," who > knows? Maybe we'll get lucky!

The Morphy One has been built. but it is almost unreachable for most of us. New faster devices have an ugly OS and less battery life. No new palmtop will ever be built with DOS as its OS. Let's hope that at least Linux palmtops will gain in importance. A linux machine COULD be a replacement for the 200LX in the future. But certainly no Windows CE device. So let's make as much use of the 200LX as possible (I am a power user for over 4 years now, and I still learn more and more interesting ways to use the palmtop) until there is a _real_ replacement. Actually I don't _need_ all these items from my wish list, they would only be nice to have. The 200LX is the most useful tool I have ever had.

A company called www.e-lite.com manufactures electroluminescent media (like the indiglo nitelites) that could be used for this project. Product sample are available relatively cheap (~$30).

It's an AT card that goes into an AT slot on a desktop PC and provides a Type-2 PCMCIA slot. Windows and Linux both recognize the card and treat it as if it were like any laptop PCMCIA slot. This link looks like it describes it: http://www.adtron.com/pdsddc.htm > and is the Memorex > Model PCF-100 > slower than say a Sandisk SDDR-01 (For CF only)? Not sure, never used it.

Seems more versital. You can only use one card at a time but it does take both. The included docs warn you about trying to use two cards at once. I never tried it 'cause it might trash data. You get the same functionality with a full PCMCIA type-2 slot and a CF-adaptor. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2001 19:41:33 +0200 Reply-To: Daniel Hertrich <daniel.hertrich@GMX.DE> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Daniel Hertrich <daniel.hertrich@GMX.DE> Subject: Re: Half Keyboards MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi Ed On Wed, 17 Oct 2001 09:06:37 -0400, Ed Padin <ohdamnthathurts@YAHOO.COM> wrote: > > But why dream?

It can of course decode them if an appropriate software would exist, but it would probably take days or weeks to decode on 5 minute 128 kb/s MP3 to a WAV file. A WAV file, which contains the sampled audio data almost in a raw format, could then be played via nusound or another PC-speaker-player, but I don't think you would really enjoy it. Someone on this list developed a PCMCIA-sized MP3-player which can be inserted into the PCMCIA slot of the LX. But as far as I know power was the only thing the LX really provided to the player. No control over play modes via software, the player had its own MMC or Smartmedia memory. Interesting project. But probably not the one you were looking for.

The main reason I decided to get the NEXII is that it uses CF cards just like the LX and my digital camera. The fact that I can plug in the CF card in the CF reader that I have for my desktop and my laptop and just copy or move the mp3 files to the card instead of using a USB connection or whatever most other players are using is great. I bought a 256MB card along with the NEXII. You need a lot of MBs for sound files even if they are mp3s. But I can use this card in my digital camera or in the LX if I want. There are a few things that would be nice to have improved on the NEXII, but Frontier Labs are quite responsive to users feedback, and have come up with some quite useful firmware upgrades. For the price they are asking it's a great product. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2001 19:54:51 -0700 Reply-To: zaaap@EARTHLINK.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Marc - <zaaap@EARTHLINK.NET> Subject: Qingdao ?

Thanks to Daniel Hertrich's precious suggestions, I discovered that to "unlock" the serial port you have to 'rmmod' the serial module and 'insmod' it again, thus allowing 1.1d utilities to work fine again (I have no idea of what to do if you have serial support built in the kernel, since I have it as a loadable module, and I haven't time to recompile my kernel at the moment). Later on, I found that the bug was already been reported on the lxtools package's bug page, and can be overcome by modifying and recompiling lxtools sources, but I think the best solution is to upgrade to version 1.1d (maybe it's time for the guys at Debian to move the 1.1d version from the "testing" to the "stable" tree of Debian archives...). As a sidenote, the Debian package lxtools_1.1d-1_i386.deb needs libc6 >=2.2.1-2 to be installed, but I've successfully compiled the sources I found on Peter Watkins' page at http://www.tux.org/~peterw/LXFileman and they work fine on my 2.2.17 system, with libc6 2.1.3-10.

Any suggestions? Are you sure it doesn't really switch on, maybe the screen contrast is only to weak. Try to switch it on in the cold, then press On, keep it pressed and press the plus key a few times (to increase contrast).

I couldn't try GPRS by now because GPRS hasn't been activated for me by the network provider. But within the next days it should be activated. SMS with Stefan's PDU over IrDA with WWW/LX works great, I get EMI disturbances when the phone is less than about 12cm from the LX sway, but since the Ericsson IrDA ports are as strong as the IrDA standard defines (working range about 1m) it is no problem to place the phone about 20 or 30 cm away from the LX to get a VERY RELIABLE connection. I am used to use the Siemens phones, which always caused problems due to EMI and very weak IrDA signals, which made it necessary to place the phone near enough to the LX so that the IrDA signal still reaches the LX (15 cm max) but place it far enough away so that EMI is duppressed snough. It was always a hassle. Now with the T39m there is no problem anymore. I ma still fiddling around to find out how to get faster connections than 9600bps without using HSCSD or GPRS. Does anyone know how to do that? I tried several combinations of at+cbst and at+chsn values, but no luck. "BUSY or NO ANSWER" was the answer of WWW/LX everytime I wanted to establish a V34 or V110 connection faster than 9600. Maybe my provider doesn't support 14.400bps on a GSM channel. I have to ask them. Or is there anyone who gets 14.400bps on a normal GSM channel with E-Plus? I will definitely not use HSCSD, because the fees they take for it are HUGE. No way. GPRS is also expensive here (about 0.35 Euro per 10kB for the first 100kB, above that limit 0.10 Euro per 10 kB). I will try it, maybe it is already a benefit for me. What I don't like about the T39m is the strange physical hardware design. As you know, I used Siemens phones by now. They are mostly without sharp edges, roundish, and you know you have ONE THING in your hand. The T39m has sharp edges,the battery has a very strange raw surface on the back, whih you always have to touch during a telephone call (I always get goosepimples (= Gaensehaut) when touching such surfaces!!) and the microphone is mounted into a flap, which must be opened to do a call and closed to carry the phone around. So it doesn't give you this Siemens-like impression to have ONE MONOLITHIC THING in your hand, but rather a set of metal and plastic parts.... you know what I mean? It is not instable in any way, I don't be afraid that it falls into parts, but it is simply a totally different feeling than to have a Siemens phone in your hand. The keys are far more difficult to press than on Siemens phones. They are smaller and they are not these nice rubber keys which are a little bit sticky to the fingers, but they are plastic. You have to have small fingers or use the nails to press them. So far I would say that the T39m is technically a very well designed phone with all features you can get for reasonable money, but IMO Ericsson still has a lot to learn regarding user-friendlyness and mechanical design of their products. Did anyone of you download the AT command set from the Ericsson sites? I registered with mobileworld, and tried to download the ZIP file, but it always resulted in a 0-bytes-file. I hope I can report soon about GPRS. And aaof course I am still looking for a Bluetooth module which could be built into the palmtop! This would make mobile connectivity sooooo convenient! :-) GtX daniel -- http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/contact ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 20 Oct 2001 16:44:57 +1300 Reply-To: th@PARADISE.NET.NZ Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Tony Hutchins <th@PARADISE.NET.NZ> Subject: Re: T39m - my first experiences MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sat, 20 Oct 2001 15:35:46 +1300 (NZDT) 05h58m12s ago ...

Hi Daniel, here in New Zealand we have no HSCSD and the GPRS comes at $NZ30 for 1MB which is about 13 Euro - for you 1MB would cost 3.5 Euro for first 100KB then 1 Euro per 100KB or 12.5 Euro for 1MB. About the same as here! We also have bigger plans -$45 for 2MB, $65 for 5MB (effectively about 7 Euro per MB). For GPRS I have been using GMX as SMTP server as it allows true authentication, but today I learned my local provider, Vodafone, are supposed to provide a special GPRS SMTP server. It is supposed to be working now, but doesn't respond to a ping, yet<G>. > What I don't like about the T39m is the strange physical > hardware design. I smiled when I read your excellent description.

In Switzerland, Swisscom (the main GSM provider) is offering HSCSD for the same price as a "normal" call, but without any guarantee that more than 1 timeslot is available. HSCSD is bundling up to 4 timeslots for a data call to privide higher speed. As Swisscom has not yet officially launched GPRS for general use, the price is not yet known. Sunrise, a competitor of Swisscom, offers data calls over GPRS for CHF 7.50/Mb (ca. 5 EUR). This seems to be a reasonable price. I know that most operators sell GPRS to quite high prices, nd I fear that this will kill the business. > What I don't like about the T39m is the strange physical hardware > design.

I think that the Ericsson phones design is some kind of different philosophy: You like it or you don't. I had an Ericsson phone T18s once and first I totally disliked the flip cover. Later I changed to another phone without flip cover and then I missed it. It prevents from unwanted keypresses when having the phone in the pocket (without flip cover I had already 10+ minutes unwanted "calls" because in my pocket some of the phones keys have been pressed inattendently). In my R520m phone i have the automatic keylock function, by deactivating it by opening a cover is easier than to make 2 keystrokes. I found also the feature of answering and terminating calls by opening and closing the flip very useful. > The keys are far more difficult to press than on Siemens phones.

Actually, GSM can handle 14.400 without problems, everything above 9600bps is used as error control / correction overhead, and if you leave that away (TCP handles that anyway), you can get 14.400 bps. But your provider must support that, and you phone of course. The Siemens S35 did not support that, but I think newer phones should all support 14.400bps over one GSM channel. > In Switzerland, Swisscom (the main GSM provider) is offering HSCSD for > the same price as a "normal" call, but without any guarantee that more > than 1 timeslot is available.

Although I don't know if it is simpler (regarding the work and energy it coses you, and time of course). It is a matter of getting used to it. I think every phone has a keylock function. I never had unwanted calls, even without the flap. Another issue is the mechanical outwearing of the hinge when you frequently open / close the phone or if you accidentally drop it. > I thought I saw the documentation of the AT command set on your HPLX > web page (an excellent page, BTW!). If you don't have it, I can send it > to you, please let me know. On my home page (thanks!;-) ) there is an overview on HSCSD and other commands, also for some Ericsson phones. What I was looking for is the complete AT command reference for the T39m. This is available at www.ericsson.com. CLick on "Ericsson Mobility World" at the bottom of the page, "Open Zone" on the left, "T39" somewhere in the middle and then on "Documentation" on the left. You can then download several documents, including the AT command set. But you first have to sign up with Ericsson (it's free). Oh, I just tried it once more, and now it seems to download. BTW: The "white paper" is also very recommendable! A short excerpt about GSM and 14.400bps: "A normal GSM call only uses one of eight repeating time slots in the GSM channel, giving a data speed up to 9,600bps. The T39 supports a more efficient coding scheme, giving data seed of up to 14,400 bps (providing the network supports this). Furthermore, High Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD) gives the possibility to use two time slots for receiving data. This can increase the data speed up to 28,800 bps (network-dependent)." I suspect they limited HSCSD in newer phones to 28,800 bps, because GPRS has also (at least in German) been limited to lower speeds than it actually could provide to increase acceptance of UMTS when it becomes available. In the first stage of UMTS, data speeds will also be very limited. If GPRS would provide faster speeds than UMTS in its beginning, no one would switch to UMTS. I have now downloaded this white paper and the AT command set. If someone wants to have one of them, pase let me know. I won't publish it on my home page, at least not with an official link, because this could make trouble. So if you want to have it, I'll put it on my home page, but give you the exact URL so you can directly download it without a link on one of the HTMLs. Now I will explore the AT commands and see what things are possible and which are not... :-) GTX daniel -- http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/contact ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 20 Oct 2001 14:42:07 +0200 Reply-To: Daniel Hertrich <daniel.hertrich@GMX.DE> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Daniel Hertrich <daniel.hertrich@GMX.DE> Subject: Note viewer for MM/LX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi friends, can you recommend a text viewer for the palmtop which supports the zoom modes, does line-breaking when zoomed in, is NOT an EXM and lets you scroll down in a file?

Does the phone use the same port for the data cable and the charger. My StarTac does and the connector on the data cable has a port on the side to allow connection of the charger when the data cable is connected to the phone.

Turbo Lightning is a TSR spell checker that can sit under almost any DOS program. It can check spelling on the fly, or check a screen of text after you entered it.

First, I want to assure everyone that the 200LX portion of Thaddeus Computing continues to be an important part of our business. Based on current activity repairing, upgrading and reselling HP 200LX's, I think we will be in it for at minimum 2 more years. As many of you know, in trying to steer our business for the future, we have also gone "over to the other side", supporting Windows CE and in particular Pocket PC's with our magazine Pocket PC magazine, www.PocketPCmag.com. Although I like many things about the Pocket PC, I've never been shy about telling anyone, I would still probably be using the HP 200LX if it weren't for the direction of our business. Also, due to both an ISP and shopping cart vendor going out of business, the shopping cart part of our site at www.PalmtopPaper.com is temporarily down. The good news is that sometime after it comes up, we will be offering additional used 200LX accessories that we have accumulated through the years. Despite problems with the cart, all back issues of the Palmtop Paper are, as always, available on the site. As to Thaddeus or Times2Tech drivers or other problems, you can email jon@thaddeus.com, and Jon Miller will respond. For other tech questions, Jon might be able to help, but honestly, the collective wisdom of this list normally will be superior and quicker to any assistance, we can provide.

PE does not automatically line-wrap when loading a file 2. Read/LX reformats everything. I think what I need is the following: Someone mentioned a formatting program here some days ago. I forgot the URL, but now I really need it! It was a program, which wrapped long lines, but left lines which were short enough untouched. It was called with a parameter indicating at which column the lines whould be wrapped. If this wrapping is done, PE can load the file and display it. Read/LX would also be nice, because of the easy font selection, fast load time and read-only mode of opening files (no chance to modify a file accidentally), but since I have some ASCII-drawings in the notes I want to view, and since Read/LX reformats them so that they are not recognizeable anymore, I can't use read/lx here. So, please, give me the URL of this reformatting program, then I can make a batch file which reformats the note and then opens PE with it.

It is actually a second server, AT&T being the second. I like your answer, and in fact, it was your participation in the D&A Beta that taught us all these things.

Just to let you know: AT&T Global requires that you log in through their network to access their servers. In this way, they feel they can identify spammers easily. It is true, but an overkill, and a nuisance to their customers. The other service (CIS specifically, I do not know about jumpy.it) lets you connect to anyone, but you must identify yourself via userid and password in order to use the SMTP and POP3 servers. A slight hitch: Generally, Post/LX sends what it has to send (using the SMTP server), then retrieves what is waiting in the POP3 server. Why a hitch? because most ISPs now do not let you just use their SMTP server. The SMTP protocol has no trace of identification of the user, a fact that many spammers took advantage of, and sent millions of emails through an SMTP server of some hapless, unsuspecting ISP! So ISPs stopped giving access to their SMTP to anyone. (This was called relaying.) There were three solutions: (1) Extended SMTP is an addition to the SMTP protocol which allows, among other features, to authenticate a user (i.e. user must provide an id and password.) Not everyone uses this. Post/LX works with this very well. (2) You must first access the POP3 box, which requires (by protocol) that you provide id and password. Then the ISP gives you access to their SMTP for some amount of time. Post/LX handles this by specifying in the mailbox the parameter PopFirst=3D1 (i.e. telling Post/LX to access the POP3 first, then the SMTP.) This is a bit of a hassle if you have a lot of stuff to send out since you get cut off at some point, but still an easier problem to deal with. The ISP can increase your time slot, for example. (3) As AT&T does, force you to login via their network and login server. Then they know who you are. If you spam, they know who did it. This is IMHO an onerous way to do it, since the 1st and second option works well for the majority of ISPs in the world. My preferred solution is #1. I also hard of an ISP that looks at your FROM: field. If it contains a known user, they send the email onward (relay the email). But I have not heard of this being widely used. And on occasions, you may wish to relay a message using a different FROM field, and such ISPs block the attempt.

Good :) Ah, you must have Font=BIGFONT.FNT in READ.CFG. Change this to Font=c:\tools\BIGFONT.FNT, then read will work when started from a different directory to c:\tools. I use other .HFN fonts too and use an explicit directory in read.cfg -eg: Font5=c:\fonts\FPAB0011.HFN. I actually use c:\fonts for storing BIGFONT.PCX and BIGFONT.FNT as well. Hope this helps. Yup Notes=c:\tools\read.exe should work in MM.CFG now. Also now READ.EXE will work in PNS200.INI, for example. You could even use VR as a note viewer I guess :) .. but you would need to add an item to TextExt= in VR.CFG. .. yup, VR works really well too. No good as an ascii-art viewer though<G>. In VR.CFG I have ; Extensions to display, separate patterns with '; TextExt = *.txt;*.doc;*.c;*.mes;*.msg;*.tm?;*.$mm I added the $mm for MM notes, and the tm? to pick up tempfiles from POST/LX - so I can read e-mails in VR - fun for longer articles. In POST.CFG I have &pns=maxdos pns200 $f $. as an external, which gives me a choice - if I feel like reading a message in READ/LX in bigfont, or in VR, for example. When using VR this way you just have to press F10 when it starts and rotate 900 to read the message. The file sent is automatically highlighted in VR. - Tony ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 21 Oct 2001 21:05:00 +0000 Reply-To: Russel Brooks <rlbrooks@POBOX.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Russel Brooks <rlbrooks@POBOX.COM> Subject: Re: Superkey/Turbo Lightning MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Victor Roberts wrote: > Turbo Lightning is a TSR spell checker that can sit under > almost any DOS program.

On the hardware HalfKeyboard you generate the letters as follows: (assuming a qwerty keyboard, sorry users of azerty and Dworak kbds...) press Q and you get a Q, W key yields a W. Nothing unusual. But: press spacebar and Q and you get the opposing key from the right hand set, namely P. spacebar-W yields O, spacebar-E yields I, spacebar-spacebar yields a space, so nothing is missing. You can use either your left hand only to key, or right hand, or even both hands to operate the HalfkKeyboard which really contains just half the keys. The software version simply uses a program that listens to the keyboard. If you type Q it shows Q on the screen. If you type a E, it shows E on the screen. If you press spacebar-Q it translates to P, spacebar-E shows as I. So on a full keyboard you can ignore the right side, or the left side, as if those keys are not on your keyboard. In my opinion, this is excellent for touch typists, since the brain will adjust quickly to mapping the function of one hand to the other hand with the spacebar prefix. I am not a touch typist and this is not so good for me, much more complext to remap stuff. I used a chording keyboard called The Twiddler (www.handykey.com) and it was much much easier to learn - for me. > is there a software version which is needed with > the halfkeybd or does the software version work > with any other keybd ? If you use the physical hardware, you need nothing in the way of software, the kbd does it all - as I understand. If you want to try the software version, you need to buy that software. Or write it yourself, and make it a driver that listens to the keyboard. > bst wshs Beast washes? <g> These abbreviations you use are a pain in the back <g>...

If you press spacebar-Q it translates to P, spacebar-E shows as I. So on a full keyboard you can ignore the right side, or the left side, as if those keys are not on your keyboard. > is there a software version which is needed with > the halfkeybd or does the software version work > with any other keybd ?

I have such a forwarding service (I use GMX as my main mail service, forwarding emails to some other accounts, depending on their size, from address etc. GMX works very well. But even there I had to chance my address a few months ago, because I have got too much spam to this address. Now I try to avoid giving this gmx address to places where it is stored on the web (the only place where I have forgotten to change my subscription address is this list, so I _get_ spam again! :-( ). How I protect myself from getting spam you can see on http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/contact Everywhere I say "send me an email" (on my home page or on lists/newsgroups) I provide a link to this page. When I get too much spam, I simply change the email address at epost.de (which is just a forwarding address to my GMX mailbox) and provide this new address on ~/contact. In addition, I am now replacing all links on my homepage to that contact page by an SSI (server side include), which just inserts a small text file into the mailto: tag, as this: <a href="mailto:<!-- #include virtual="/currentaddress.dat" -->">email me!</a>, so I only have to change my email address in "currentaddress.dat" and it is changed in all links on my homepage. And it may even protect the address from being grabbed by web robots. I am not sure, but if these robots grab the raw files (so SSIs are not executed before the robot grabs), and if these robots only grab htmls, txts and so on, they will miss my address.

As I also said in a nlater posting, it seems to vary with the surrounding of the whole arrangement. I have experienced much less EMI problems with the new software version at all, but in some situations there are still problems. Unfortunately I could not find a pattern yet. On some tables it works good, on some tables it doesn't work without acrobatic exercises, although all these tables I tried it on were build from wood I think. Now once I tried the Ericsson the Siemens is much much worse at all regarding IrDA because of the weak signal strength. I can put the Ericsson really almost 1m away from the LX and it still has a good IrDA connection, but of course without EMI. So you you have to use a Siemens, do the upgrade, you definitely won't regret it. But if you can upgrade to a Noia or Ericsson, do it, if you rely on IrDA connections. If you prefer connections with a data cable, the Siemens is probably the best solution. Also Fax is only possible with a data cable, so again the Siemens is the favorite here. I have not tested any Nokia or Ericsson phone with a data cable yet. Generally it should work of course, question is, as always, how expensive these cables are, how heavy and bulky they are, how easy it is to make a custom HPLX-specific data cable and so on.

That's not true: If program X preserves short lines and only wraps long lines (i.e. doesn't combine the residual part of a wrapped line with the next (short) line, and if these drawings are not longer than to the NEW right margin, they are preserved. FMT.COM does a good job here. The only problem I have is now that MM/LX seems to cut off leading spaces from note lines. I now use the workaround to put a period in the first column.

Are leading spaces lost on export?. Not only on export. Create a new map, add a note to the central item. Put the text hello, this is a line which doesn't begin at col1. into the note. They save the note, go back to the map. Open the note again: The "a line" is still indented. Close the note. Save the map (F10) Open the note: Now "a line" isn't indented anymore. So saving the map seems to cut off leading spaces on note lines.

I've been very interested in the 200LX for quite some time and had gone to this month's(oct) MIT flea looking for one. Of course, because I was set on picking something up, I did not find *any* hplx related paraphenelia. About an hour before the flea ended, however, I saw a shoddy looking 95lx box :) I picked it up for $40, it was marked $70, but it only came with the 512k 95lx itself, the big manual, and the quickstart guide and a 128k (ugh :/ ) HP SRAM card. She works great, doesn't have any hinge cracks either. I've only been able to get files on and off her via the SRAM card, and that was after failed attempts at IR communications between a laptop and Jornada (hyperterminal in both cases). In the 2 days I've been able to play with her, I must say toddy and diet are two of the coolest DOS progs. I wish I knew about them back in my XT days. Anyone have any tips on what would be the best word processor/editor to shoehorn onto her? I've got the 512k of RAM split in half between ramdisk and system ram. I'm tempted to stack the card, but it brings back memories of slooooowness and random data corruption on the old MFM HDD. When/If I ever get a 200LX I'm thinking about running bash for dos on it, anyone have any experiance/luck with this?

Hinge cracks rarely happened to the 95LX. Instead, the hinge tends to get very loose (presumably why HP made the hinge on the 100LX so tight).

Keep in mind that the communication is only 2400bps. I bet the laptop is causing problems. If possible, use a DOS based (on the laptop) terminal program. Real plain DOS, if possible.

Well, the built-in memo editor works in a pinch... Check out Buddy 95 in 95LX section of the SUPER site (www.palmtop.net/super95.html). It is an amazing program and very useful if you ever use the built-in apps. It will, among other things, remove the annoying display of newlines in Memo. Also on the SUPER 95 site (I think, it's been a while) is a special version of MicroEmacs, a variant of the UNIX editor that's been altered to fit (and understand) the 95LX display. Even better is the editor called Freyja. It was designed with specific support for the 95LX in mind, and implements "soft fonts", basically giving you a usable 64x20 character mode. It's also based on UNIX EMACS, but having 64x20 instead of 40x16 fully outweighs having to learn a bit about EMACS (and the editor has menu support too, so it's not that hard and it looks like you might know EMACS already). A word of warning, though, Freyja is not the smallest editor, in terms of size (I'm guessing 40kb for the packed executable and 20k for the resource file), but on the 95LX it's the best! Hmm. looks like palmtop.net is down right now. Freyja can be found here: http://www.finseth.com/~fin/ I should have the rest of the programs still, but I'm guessing palmtop.net will be up again soon anyway. > When/If I ever get a 200LX I'm thinking about running bash for dos > on it, anyone have any experiance/luck with this? No, but you can find a freeware Korn Shell implementation that works quite well.

That's really 2 seperate questions on the 95lx with 512k and a 128k card. That was my original configuration, too. I'd forget about a word processor. You probably can fit one ok if you get a bigger card. 2 meg sram cards aren't hard to find and 4 meg ones are available if you look a while. The 4 meg cards are expensive new and they'll be hard to find used. I see 2 meg cards on ebay now and then. I suspect there are different cards that won't work though. I know the 2 meg card in my 48GX calculator won't fit the LX. There probably are ones other than HP cards that work but I don't know of them. You can also use one of the older Sandisk flash cards. The model is SDP5-10, where 10 is the size of the card and might be another number. I think 5 means 5 volts. I think 5 and 10 meg ones will work in the 95lx with a driver. They should be pretty cheap now. Probably $10 to $20. For a simple text editor there are a few of them on Super that are only 5 to 10k. They're very simple and don't do anything fancy but they work ok. PC magazine had one called Ted that is probably there. Then there are some versions of Ted with other features added. For programming these work fine. You can also use the memo pad in the built in apps but thats a hassle because you don't have any dos ram to run an assembler till you reboot. An ideal language, if you like it, is Forth. There are very small implementations and using Ted to write Forth code on a small screen works well. The 95lx is actually faster than the original IBM PC. I think it's got an 8mhz Nec V20 cpu and should be about twice as fast, and the card is memory and should be much faster than an MFM drive. Old flash cards might be slower than MFM drives were. My first programming job was on a room sized Univac that had 1/4 the memory of your 95lx and probably wasn't as fast, so I wasn't dismayed in the least by the speed of the 95lx. My nephew has been using my old 95lx for years in jr high and high school. He just replaced it with a laptop for college about 2 months ago. Even though I gave him the laptop I can't talk him out of the 95lx now. :) Barry ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2001 07:20:55 -0700 Reply-To: "Faulkner, Joanne" <joanne.faulkner@WEYERHAEUSER.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: "Faulkner, Joanne" <joanne.faulkner@WEYERHAEUSER.COM> Subject: TECH - Program storing data to cards/turned off in middle of prog ram MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Problem is that when we are running our DOS pascal program -- we turn off HP in middle of the program.

There is a serial cable for the 95lx. It shouldn't be hard to find. It's the same cable that is used by the HP48 calculator so either one will do.

Since the machine memory is static, it would make sense that no flush was needed, but likely the machine is optimized to write the data to the card in batches or when manually flushed, since it would require the overhead of a write operation, which is somewhat slower. As I recall, PASCAL should have some sort of flush command. Just call it after every data write. (This may cause a performance hit, though). Hope this helps.

It's the same difference as between Tyle1 and Type2 PCMCIA cards: Type 1 is 3(.3?) mm thick, Type 2 is 5 mm thick. Since the slot of the LX can take both Type 1 and 2 PCMCIA cards, it can also hold Type 1 and 2 CF cards. You just need the correct PCMCIA-CF adapter (they are different for Type1 and Type2 CF cards) and you should take care not to buy a CF card which has a too high capacity for the 100LX. I think the upper capacity limits with and without the acecard-driver have been discussed in the past.

A simple terminal program with Kermit/Xmodem (much faster) support should then be sufficient. However, as has already been suggest elsewhere, I would recommend a serial cable for much faster transfer speeds. You can either make a cable yourself or try to find a HP48/95LX cable. Coupled with the program "zip" (no relation to the compression software), a tiny serial communications program with specific support for the 95LX, it makes for a very convenient setup (well, if you like command line anyway ;-) and much faster speeds than you can get through the built-in terminal software. > Yeah, I found some screenshots of freyja and wanted to grab it. > palmtop.net was ~kinda~ up, but 300baud-acoustic-coupler-slow :) > I found the file using an ftpsearch, but I wish I got that URL about > an hour ago :/ > Diet'ed, it's not too bad, and it runs great, even with toddy loaded.

It is difficult to calculate what is cheaper. If you use Hscsd you will pay more per minute compared to Gprs, but you will get higher throughput(well at least here in Norway with Telenor). (Tony how was the speed on Gprs down where you are?) I am not sure how to calculate this. For wap it is cheaper, but with a connection to the internet with Www/lx I am not sure.

The setup came from SUPER--I think it's called CFILER, but I couldn't check this as SUPER doesn't seem to be responding at the moment. This came in useful at a conference last month. A physician presenting results of a clinical study needed a graphic for his Power Point presentation. The image was on my company LAN, so it was simple to ftp it to my 200LX with LXTCP and my cell phone. I then went to the hotel's business center, ran CFILER from my floppy in their computer, linked with the serial cable, transferred the file to the hard drive, and finally copied it to another floppy which I provided to the presenter. One problem I've run into is that CFILER seems to frequently lock up the host computer I run it on.

The idea is that email harvester programs filter out abuse@, root@, postmaster@ etc. addresses from their database, since these addresses are often used to report spam and lodge complaints. I don't have any evidence that this is the case, but it seems to work. I ran an informal test on a website I did for work where I had a regular email contact, and an abuse@ contact, on the pages. The abuse address got perhaps a half dozen spam in a years time, the other got several per week. I know others who have had similar results. I've also had people that were very apologetic about writing to abuse@ when they didn't have a complaint, but they couldn't find another address.

(Product No BL4508-309) This was my answer to a similar mail: Until now it is not clear at all, if a Bluetooth PCMCIA or Compact flash card will work in the palmtop. It depends on how the card identifies itself and after which PCMCIA specification it is designed. Please note that the palmtop only supports a subset of standard PCMCIA, because the palmtop was brought to market some time before the standard was released. For example, I don't believe, that a BT PCMCIA cards identifies itsself as a modem card, but I don't know. Anyway, if it is not a known card type for LXCIC, quite some information and knowledge is needed to implement BT cards into LXCIC, just the same way as Rod Whitby did it for network cards. Only if this problem is solved, we may think of a BT software stack for the palmtop. This will be a major challenge for one of the programmers of this list, at the level of IrDA implementation. Andreas Garzotto did IrDA, but I'm not sure, if he would do it or anything similar again. Just think for a moment what has to be done to handle a multipoint connections on the palmtop. For example, the palmtop could have a BT connection to a mobile phone and at the same time a BT connection to a desktop and a printer... These protocols of today are specified by all major players in the market and are anything else but straight forward and what one would expect after 20 years of experience in the field. In other words: They are HORRIBLE. I got my lesson while writing the PDU converter. One would think you just have to translate a 160 char ascii string to another format and add some adress information and ready is the resulting PDU. Can you believe that there are 4 headers with 4 different codings schemes required just to send 160 bytes over GSM? Plus an 8bit to 7bit compression which drove me crazy. No, I'm glad to see a possible BT solution for the palmtop through the serial port without the need of any additional software.

There are still some around fo rth eparallel port. Usually they are all USB now. I think you can now count on USB, too, except someone of the people you want to share data with uses a quite old computer. If you want parallel port, look on ebay. They are easy to install, require a driver and mostly allow you to daisy-chain a parallel printer. Regarding the serial port: You already have a serial port CF card reader! You LX is one. Just put a CF card into the slot, connect with the HP connectivity cable, load LX communications software on the PC (Transfile Win200, zip, laplink, whatever...), and you can access the flash card from the desktop. But this is not the choice for fast access to large files! I have never heard of real CF card readers for the serial port. They would not be much faster than the LX-connection, so you wouldn't have any benefit from such a device. > How is everyone getting information from their HP into someone ELSES > computer. By email.

I think I'll never need a stronger battery. 300h Standby is .... more than enough.. Although I have the impression that something is wrong here. The phone sometimes says, it has only 60h standby left, just after a full charge cycle. Sometimes it shows "220h standby" and 1 hour later it says only 50h....

Serial is pretty slow. Parallel is a lot faster but USB is faster yet and is available on all but the oldest computers. You can get a PCMCIA or compact flash adapter for Parallel or USB. I'm not sure about serial ones. They need a driver but that just means having a floppy disk with the driver on it in most cases. The driver for my Sandisk USB reader came on a floppy. You can always depend on the parallel port being there. All the computers made in the last few years will have USB ports. If this involves your palmtop an easy way is to carry the cable with you. It rolls up pretty small. It's a thin wire. Hyperterminal in Windows can be used to connect with your palmtop so that's really all you need. Again, serial is slow. But that does make it simple.

After you save the map, the note loses the indentation and become like this: Item X Note Tony and I can reproduce this. Of course, if you formatted the note somehow, this formatting is lost. So here is the problem for us: How can MM/LX distinguish between a note and just a child: Item X Note of item X Child of Item X Your solution is good! Put some distinguishing mark in the note in col 1 and that establishes it (in the eyes of MM/LX) as a note, like so: Item X . note of item X Child of Item X Note the period in column 1 in the second line. IOW, there isn't anything we can do about it programmatically. One possibility is to add something automatically to the Note in column 1, which solves your problem but may open a problem for someone else. Another possibility is to put some binary mark, but that defeats the premist we have used in MM/LX that the file underlying the map is a plain ASCII file. Looks like your solution is excellent.

Because the do charge $$$ for the service I am less worried about them going away if they were solely funding themselves with web advertising.

They have some reporting functions you can use. Some email can be routed to your pager. I don't use most of these services, some of which are additional charges. They've been reliable (I've been with them since 95 or 96) and their customer service has been prompt to answer my emails to them. They also offer a 30 FREE trial if you're curious.

Item X | note of item X | note line 2 of item X Child of item X | note of child of item X | this line shall be indented by 4 spaces. | note of child of item X This was after the _first_ F10 (save). Note: the one note line _is_ still indented by 4 spaces as I have entered it! I did another save after a "dummy" change of the map and the problematic note (added a character and deleted it again, just to let MM think I have changed anything) and: Item X | note of item X | note line 2 of item X Child of item X | note of child of item X | this line shall be indented by 4 spaces. | note of child of item X The line isn't indented anymore! If I now add a period to preserve my formatting, it looks like this: Item X | note of item X | note line 2 of item X Child of item X | note of child of item X | . this line shall be indented by 4 spaces. | note of child of item X The period is NOT in column 1 of the mm file, but in column 1 of the note (this is logical, I think). But for my understandings it should not be necessary to add such a period, because MM distinguishes already between note and child by this "|" in column 1 (the character given by parameter "NoteIndent" in mm.cfg). So MM can exactly know to which item the note belongs to, even if it is formatted in any way, because a note for an item is everytime placed directly under the corresponding item, and it can know that _is_ a note at all because of the "|". So I see no problem in changing the code of MM so that it preserves all note formatting. > Looks like your solution is excellent. Thank you! ;-) It is an excellent work-around. But no solution. I am very sorry if I have missed something in my argumentation here, if there is something that prevents Andreas from changing the MM code the way I suggest, please let me know.

In that case, MM behaves totally different: It saves each note beginning with column 1 OF THE MM FILE, no matter which level the item is the note belongs to, and without any distinguishing mark. Formatting is also destroyed by deleting leading spaces. My test file now looks like this: Item X note of item X note line 2 of item X Child of item X note of child of item X this line shall be indented by 4 spaces note of child of item X Ah, now I see clearer! THIS is the PE outline compatibility format!! I always have wondered how MM/LX data should be easily exchanged with PE... Okay, and in this format, it is indeed problematic to preserve note formatting. Okay, I see now where the problem is, but it only exists when and if NoteIndent= is left without any value in mm.cfg. The advantage is the easier data exchange between PE outline format and MM. The disadvantage is that you have to let every note line begin with a character other than a space. Of course you can also exchange MM and PE data with NoteIndent=| but it results in the following potential problems: When using data from MM/LX in PE outline: outlining still works, because indentation of childs and so on follows the standard. But all text between header lines (the lines indented by n*3 spaces) may be difficult to read due to the indentation with | + spaces When using data from PE outline in MM/LX: Not sure if this works at all. It works, if you set NoteIndent= (no value) in mm.cfg. But if you comment NoteIndent out or set it to whatever character, it may lead into incompatibility problems. Have note tested it yet. Avi, do you now understand my point of view? I understand yours: You probably have NoteIndent without a value. I used the default (NoteIndent commented out, so it was set to "|" by default) all the time. Conclusion: I think note formatting could be preserved, IF NoteIndent is set. If NoteIndent is set to nothing, you have to add a leading character to every indented note line, as you said. A period may be a good solution. MM/LX could maybe be changed to add such a character automatically in this case. Just do the following (in C syntax with fictive variable names): if ((NoteIndent=="") && (current_note_lineÝ0¨==' ')) { current_note_lineÝ0¨='.' } That should do everything that's needed. What do you think?

(which is a reason for me, _not_ to use such a server) The advantage to forward the mail to the provider is that you have ususally a faster connection to the mailserver of your ISP than to a server somewhere in the Internet. I tried both ways in the past, and now I do like you do, I use a (free) mail service independent from my provider and do not forward, because the speed difference was neglectible most of the time. But this may vary with the mail service you use. cheers, 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: Sun, 28 Oct 2001 09:28:21 -0800 Reply-To: Questor Jones <questor_jones@YAHOO.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Questor Jones <questor_jones@YAHOO.COM> Subject: UPDATE: HP100LX and Compact flash adaptor.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi friends, I have a problem with my nightly backup job, initiated by three appointments in the appointment book. Almost every night it hangs now, often without any error mesage, but today I finally found an "internal stack overflow, System halted" message on the screen. I have described my exact backup setup on http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/lxbackup but here a short overview: Appointment 1 (2:00) starts a macro which closes all appolications, and since I use PIM/PE it is now linked to another macro which opens the phone book and prints it to a file using a smartclip which is suitable for the PIM/PE database format, so I have an up-to-date contacts database in PIM every day. Appointment 2 calls my backup.bat, which does several things besides the backup itself: It checks the battery voltage, checks the databases, creates all my Post/LX ADR files from the contacts database (with GDBIO and my PDB2ADR - oh, it calls a seperate batch for that!) and once this is done it begins to zip the whole C: drive to A:. A report is written into report.txt Appointment 3 inserts the contents of report.txt into an 8:00am appointment in the appointment book, so I see if it has failed or not and for what reason. This has worked for several weeks without any problem, but I must have modified something which now makes it unstable. I don't know what. Most of the times the whole thing hangs within the pkzip job, sometimes it hangs in the first macro, seldom the pkzip is successful and it hangs in the second macro. I already tried to remove some TSRs (but only one at a time) without success. I certainly did that with all TSR which might have been added around the time where the problem appeared. Here is which TSRs are loaded: config.sys: * device=a:\bin_c\spd31.exe /M /O /C * device=c:\bin\kbuf128.sys * device=a:\programs\secdev\secdev.sys a:\sddrive.!#$ * shell=d:\dos\command.com /p /e:1024 * buffers=30,0 * files=50 * stacks=9,256 (Could it help increasing the stacks statement? If yes, to what value?) autoexec.bat: * c:\bin\batset.com /c /t=18:00 * subst e: a:\ * c:\bin\alapim.com * c:\bin\lxcic /l * c:\programs\lxpro\lxpro * c:\bin\lighton.com * carousel (the last one is software carousel) Thanks a lot daniel P.S.: It makes no difference if I leave the palmtop in another SC session than SysMgr or if I switch to the SysMgr session before I go to bed. Some people reported hangups when calling a macro from appointment book if SC must switch to SysMgr first. But that's not the issue here. And: I leave the palmtop on AC power all night, since I don't want the backup to fail, the palmtop to crash and then the batteries to run empty, because the palmtop doesn't switch off anymore. I have not tried it this this hangup also happens when running from batteries. -- http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/contact ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2001 08:28:15 +0100 Reply-To: Yves Leurquin <leurquin@BIGFOOT.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Yves Leurquin <leurquin@BIGFOOT.COM> Subject: Re: T39m - my first experiences MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Tony, > Yves, did you get the MochaPPP working then?

There were some limitations with the 100lx with reference to flash cards that were dealt with in the 200lx. I don't remember what they were but I remember with certain flashcards a driver was needed on the 100lx and not needed on the 200lx. I've never used anything but a Sandisk card and a Sandisk adapter so I've never experienced any of these problems. I've seen such good deals on other brands that I've been tempted but each time I couldn't remember if this was a troublesome card or troublefree card, so I held out for Sandisk because I knew they were ok. If I had a better memory I'd probably have other cards. :) I also have a 200 lx and a 100lx and I've used various compact flash cards with adapters and regular PCMCIA cards between the two units and never had a problem. I don't actually know that I've tried all the combinations so maybe tomorrow I'll have a problem but it's already trouble free enough that I won't mind too much.

SanDisk says that the following Flash Cards work with the 100LX, no driver needed: SDP-XX, SDP5-XX, SDPL5-XX, and SDP5A-XX (except where XX = 80, 110, or 175, which are Type III cards). To format a card on the 100LX, first partition the card with FDISK100, then format with FORMAT. Also from SanDisk: "CompactFlash (CF) is electrically equivalent to PC Card ATA, the mass storage interface defined by PCMCIA. The main differences between the two are the size of the cartridge and the number of pins on the connector. CF uses a 50 pin connector and PC Card ATA uses a 68 pin connector. Even though the CF connector has fewer pins than the PC Card ATA connector, there is no reduction in features because both CF and PC Card ATA connectors use less than 50 signals.

My personal experience is that older, 12 volt cards draw sudden, big, = spikes of power when the palmtop is turned on. I had a lot of trouble with regular, single use alkaline batteries. They couldn't handle the sudden drain and = their voltage dropped low enough to send the palmtop into a low battery automati= c shutdown. So, I would press the ON button and the screen would "blink" = and go off. I couldn't get the palmtop to turn on. If I plugged in the AC = adaptor, I could finally get the palmtop to turn on, but the C: drive was often = corrupted. When I used lithium batteries, or NiMH rechargeables I didn't have any = trouble with the palmtop not turning on. I did notice a slight decrease in = overall battery life, but not as much as I would have expected from my problems = with the alkaline batteries. BTW, I still have the 30 Meg Flash card I described above, but I never = use it now. You (or anyone) can have it for $5 plus shipping costs. E-mail me privately if you want it.

I have a feeling that the 95 would not be compatible with Turbo Lightning but could be wrong. I don't recall if the 95 runs its applications in a graphic mode like the HP100/200 where the various apps are actually graphics based, I believe. In which case, TL would not come up or work as those tsr's would not popup over a graphics app. In addition, the 95's dos compatibility was not perfect.

I don't think that many real mode DOS viruses have been written since '98, to be honest, so I wonder a newer program will be any better or even if virus protection on the LX is worth the effort?

When you did get the error message it might have been valid. Probably was. But when the computer locks up it's likely to do just about anything so the message might possibly be a fluke. But likely it's valid. Something you might try is to run each of those macros/bat files manually and reboot in between. If one causes a problem then look more closely at the various parts of it or at the macro/bat file running it. If that doesn't do it you can probably patch the problem by having each macro/bat file call a little program (usually called cold.com or reboot.com) that will reboot the machine when it's done, so there should be plenty of stack for the next phase when the alarm comes. This might get you by while you work on a solution. The file is available at simtel and lots of other dos download sites. I think it's also at ZDNET's PC Magazine tools download. I have a copy if you need it. Just send a private email and I'll send it in the reply. It's a very short program. Just a few bytes long. I don't think playing with the stacks word in config.sys will have anything to do with it. That's about stacks used by hardware interrupts if I remember right. Another thing might be to set alarms just far enough apart so you can sit and watch the entire process. Maybe put echo statements in where you can't tell exactly what it's doing, but first try without them. Then when it fails you can see where it happens.

It can't hurt to try but I'll be a little surprised if Turbo Lightning will function under SysMgr. Borland's TSRs liked to think they were the only TSRs running and they were pretty finicky.

This way you may be able to see the point at which it fails. My other suggestion about your backup strategy (which has nothing to do with your problem): Instead of disabling your Daily Greeting, why not use it to report the success or failure of the backup? You will have to make sure that your backup finishes and writes its report before midnight each day, but then you will see the report automatically each morning, without having to make it into an appointment.

Probably majority of new viruses "cannot be run in dos mode" I think check of updates to some virus database after end of 98 should answer this question. But personaly I have seen some viruses which could cause serious damage to files on A drive on 200lx. Of course snaning CF card in notebook will help for sure but this needs notebook and makes 200lx not standalone unit. And when I download something from internet directly to 200lx without acess to desktop PC I can theoretically be in trouble.

By Jonathan Erickson October 29, 2001 MS-DOS passed away Thursday, October 25, 2001, at the Marriott Marquis Hotel on Times Square in New York City. MS-DOS was born in August 1980, in Tukwila, Washington, the creation of Tim Paterson and the Seattle Computer Company. Initially called QDOS 0.10 (short for "Quick and Dirty Operating System"), MS-DOS was a lifelong resident of the Seattle area. In late 1980, nonexclusive rights for 86-DOS 0.3, as the operating system was then known, were sold to Microsoft. In July 1981, as Paterson recounted in a June 1983 BYTE article entitled "A Short History of MS-DOS," Microsoft bought all rights to the DOS from Seattle Computer and changed the name of the operating system to "MS-DOS." In the 1980s and early 1990s, MS-DOS was arguably the most widely used computer program in the world. There were many reasons for this, the least of which was the historical rise of the personal computer. But what set MS-DOS apart from other players in the personal computer operating system arena was Paterson's desire to make application development as easy as possible for software developers. To this end, Paterson made the MS-DOS API similar to CP/M, an 8-bit operating system in widespread use at the time. Secondly, Paterson focused on making MS-DOS fast and efficient, something he achieved by writing it entirely in 8086 assembly language. MS-DOS is survived by Windows 98, XP, Me, 2000, and CE, all of the same home. MS-DOS was preceded in death by Windows 1.0, 3.0, 95, and Windows for Pens. In announcing MS-DOS's demise, Microsoft founder Bill Gates typed "exit" at the MS-DOS command line during the launch of Windows XP. He stated, "It's the end of the MS-DOS era," referring to the exorcism of 16-bit code from the Windows code base. Gates was joined on stage by industry leaders such as Gateway's Ted Wait, Dell's Michael Dell, Compaq's Michael Capellas, and Intel's Craig Barrett, all of whom have made millions of dollars from the late MS-DOS. TV personality Regis Philbin also appeared to pay his respects (or, more precisely, to be paid for paying his respects), and rock singer Sting led mourners in soulful renditions of "Ave Marie," "Take A Closer Walk with Me," and "Here I Am Lord" at nearby Bryant Park.

If you read http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycleconsumer.asp carefully what you'll get out of it is that on December 31, 2001 (i.e., the upcoming New Year's eve), DOS, Win3.x, and Win95 all enter the "Non-Supported phase". This phase means (and I've copied and pasted this from the web page): - Licenses may no longer be available to consumers. - Only online support information will be available. - Five years after general availability, Microsoft may terminate this phase after providing 12 months advanced notice. So, starting in January Microsoft has to give 12 months notice before DOS can officially be declared dead (same for Win3x and Win95). ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2001 12:11:41 -0700 Reply-To: Bob Christopher <bob@PALMTOP.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Bob Christopher <bob@PALMTOP.COM> Subject: DOS: Wanted Dead Or Alive Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I enjoyed Chris Blackmon's msg re death and dying, Microsoft style.

Joe "Bob Penick" on 10/30/2001 02:37:37 PM To: cc: Subject: Re: Help formating 440MB PC Card Joe, I bought some 64Meg Sandisk CF cards off eBay a couple months ago that caused the same problems and the same error messages. I started checking and I could read them (blank with no files though) on a Win98 laptop but not on my 200lx. I easily fdisked & formatted them on the Win98 laptop but they still could not be read by the LX. Stuck them in an Omnibook 425 (good ol' DOS) and re-fdisked them and formatted them again and now no problems in any of the pc's. I contacted the guy that sold them to me and asked what they had been used in. He wasn't sure but thought they had been memory cards in either network switches (makes sense) or test equipment. I am fairly sure that some Cisco routers or switches were originally equipped with Sandisk PCMCIA memory cards and I'd think that the partition for that use might not be compatible with our LXs.

First, I've never mucked with the default fonts. They have always been fine for me. (Well, maybe they are getting smaller this last year or two.) Anyway, I would swear that the font, while in DOS mode, on the one I just received is a tad smaller than the one I've had for a while. I played with the contrast to see if maybe that had effect on my perception and it did not. The one I have had is an SG449 and the newer is an SG736. The older is a US market 1 Meg with doublespeed and 32 Meg upgrade. The newer is one of the Dutch Railway models with doublespeed and a memory upgrade also. I've read about and seen the screen variation that looks a little "golder" but both of these are the same "color". This is in no way a problem! I've just been looking at the screen of one 200LX or another for over 7 years and this one just looks "different". Was there some change in production or is it just over 50 eyes? Sorry I don't post any of those really interesting puzzles that seem to get everyone working. But my LX works fantastic for ME in a fairly original setup. Ok...., I do use Software Carousel to keep a game available in the background.

Now you have the acecard device line right there should be no need to fdisk it. Just re-boot the palmtop and try chkdsk a: - the card will tell you how big/how good it is.

I would suggest simply deleting all partition information using a laptop or desktop with fdisk and then use the totally blank CF in the 200LX. fdisk100 should then be able to create its FAT partition.

There are indeed differences. AFAIK, the screens on the 100LXs and older 200LXs have a better contrast than newer 200LXs, Although I have a SG8... palmtop at home as a spare unit which has an excellent screen. The one I'm currently working on is a, SG4... unit with a screen out of a SG5.. unit, if I recall correctly. And this one has a fairly good but not excellent contrast.

I see every morning where it has failed, because the machine is locked up totally and the screen where it locked is still there. It happens either during the plzip process or during execution of one of the macros. Never while another DOS program (PDB2ADR, VOLTCHK, DBCHECK...> is active. I have now removed all TSR which are not _very_ necessary, and now it worked last night. I will wait for the next nightly backup tp work and then re-add the TSRs one by one and see when the problem appears again. Is aonyone here using BATSET to change the charging time of the LX? Can that program cause wuch problems?

Just a thought... I have done that as long as I used the appointment book on a daily basis. Actuall, you don't have to run the macro _before_ midnight, if you use Andreas' "greet.com" to change the time the daily greeting appears.

Are you sure about using the built in fonts in your older machines? Check your old autoexec.bat for anything that looks like a font TSR. Most fonts, that were new written and compiled for the HP are bigger than the original fonts. This is achieved by using the 8x8, 10x11 and 16x12 pixel box more efficiently. Once, your eyes get used to the new font, you forget over the years, that this was not the original font. Only if you look at another HP200LX, you feel a little uncomfortable and think, something is different with this other HP. This happens to me quite often and it is the time to remember, that I once wrote and installed my own font.

As far as I know, the SH888 only supports the IrDA protocol - both over IR AND over cable. So your only chance to use it with the LX is WWW/LX. Please read my page http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/mob_hplx There you'll find lots of info about the phone.

In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I have three questions/subjects: 1) What is the best card/phone combo to use on the LX in terms of ease of install, battery life, etc. 2) I have used HV.exe, does anyone know how to make the fonts bigger? 3) I would like to do offline reading with HV.exe, but I don't use LXTCP stuff and get.exe seems to want to use those. Is there any easy way to download pages on PC for easy viewing using HV.EXE or some other program. I just want to specify a page and depth and load it web extracted data onto my CF card to read it later. Any help would be appreciated. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo!

Yup, in the mail section(s) of POST.CFG replace your SMTP=... line with SMTP=ISP and have a new ÝSMTP¨ section in POST.CFG linking ISP section names in WWW.CFG with the smtp server for that ISP: ÝSMTP¨ paradise=smtp.paradise.net.nz CIS=smtp.compuserve.com ATTGLOBAL=smtp1.attglobal.net ISP_Gprs=smtp.vodafone.net.nz XTRA=smtp.xtra.co.nz If you want you could use gmx.net as SMTP for some/all of the ISPs, by having another section like this: Ýmail.gmx.net¨ Login=99...
