There are several old DOS-based apps that work good on the 200LX providing that you have the disk space. The one I use takes about 3MB and some take as much as 12MB. I found one the other day called: "Random House Webster's Electronic Dictionary & Thesaurus College Edition" It was published by the Wordperfect Corp back in 1993 and comes on 6-1.2MB disks. I have not tried to install it as I do not have the disk space. One thing strange about it is that it loads up as a TSR and can be called to action with a keystroke combo. This is also the first one I have found with a thesaurus included. It would porbably work better for someone running a Software Carousel session that could be dedicated to a dictionary. Keep you eyes open for old DOS titles with "American Heritage Dictionary" on the box. They seem to work the best.

Registered version upgrades the dictionary and increases the size (I think) from 1mb to 5mb. The words appear to be uncompressed, so I think there's some wasted space. I forget where I got it from, but I think shareware sites still have it. I use Framework-3, an integrated package that includes a spell-checker with definitions (Merriam-Webster). The dictionary is compressed and only takes up 222k (tho it needs the rest of the package to run and the whole shebang is 2.2mb..spreadsheet,word-processor and database). I believe also mentioned in the old list group (palmtop.net) was American Heritage-Definitions Plus. You'll have a hard time finding any DOS based dictionary these days...mostly at the software liquidators.

My name is Ian and I have only been using the LX for a few weeks but I have found it to be incredibly useful, more so when I came across Buddy. I must be getting old, it's bad news (so I have been informed) when you get really excited about a piece of software like Buddy! Anyway, I have ordered the SDK which I am sure will answer many of my questions but I just can't wait and I know that there must be a wealth of knowledge/experience out there that can help me now. So:- 1. Is there any way of removing/hiding icons that belong to 'built in' applications? ie ccMail etc! 2. Anyone know of a good Database that is small enough yet powerful enough to handle in excess of 8000 records of up to 512 bytes/characters? 3. I use a directory sort utility (DS.EXE from Norton Utils) when in DOS but this does not seem to work on the 200LX and reports "Directory not found"! Anyone any idea why? I will leave it at that for the moment. Have a great weekend as it starts in about 90 minutes - for me.....

Ian Melville commented that he has to recharge his NiMH's every three days or so, with the same card. Even if their usage patterns are the same, this doesn't suprise me. NiMH's are known to have a higher self-discharge rate. I've seen reports of them losing charge anywhere from 3 to 10 times faster than NiCd's.

By taking into account Ian Melville's, Jim Gonzalez's, and my own observations, it would seem that NiMH cells should be used in high discharge applications where recharging is not a problem and NiCd's are better suited to median discharge applications where longer time between recharging is required. As an added note, I get less time from Alkaline cells than I am currently getting from Rat Shack's 850mAh nicads.

With the 95/100/200LX HP had 100% of the market. With WinCE, HP has to share the market with several other vendors. Even if the 95/100/200LX market is only 10% that size of WinCE, HP would still be ahead because of less pricing pressures and 100% control of it's market. It will be interesting how this develops, considering Microsoft's past successes (not!) in developing new non-DOS/Windows platforms. ______________________________________________ "Michael Stocker" 8/1/97 6:03:43 PM EDT ______________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 1 Aug 1997 19:02:05 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ian Melville Subject: Re: TECH Batteries MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On 1 Aug 1997 HPLX-L@UConnVM.UConn.Edu said to ianmel@opus.co.tt: > I will watch myself for the next cycle (battery cycle) and see what= I > might be doing to get the life I get from my batteries.

Though I guess it would require a pretty big database A while back Surplus Software had a package called "The Writer's Toolkit" which includes a whole suite of software, including the American Heritage Dictionary, Roget's II Thesaurus, Concise Columbia Dictionary of Quotations, Abbreviation Expander, The Written Word III, Dictionary of Common Knowledge, and CorrecText Grammar and Style Checker, all in a pop-up TSR. It's a little large for the 200LX, but you do have the option of just installing particular modules. I've got the Dictionary and Thesaurus installed into 3MB of space on a flash card (the dictionary itself takes up 1.9MB, and there are some index files as well). The TSR takes up 10K of memory, but it doesn't work well with the System Manager, so it is best to use it in a separate Software Carousel session. It is a pretty nice program-- I'm not sure how many definitions it has, but it seems fairly complete. Anyway, check around and some surplus places might still have it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 2 Aug 1997 00:38:35 PDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ian Butler Subject: Fw: Survey MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"; X-MAPIextension=".TXT" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Repositng my survey for those who missed it.

Neither small nor a real machine. I use HP because it is small AND is a real computer. However, I can't say that working in DOS is so exciting, or that constantly synchronizing databases is such fun. Programming is interesting, but I am not a programmer. I need a tool.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" As an HP200 user, (and a laptop and a desktop..) I think we all choose what tools work for us, and then look for affirmation of our wise decisions from others that choose the same thing. If I drive a station wagon and you drive a Corvette, we make think the other is nuts, but each mode of transportation serves the purpose for which it is chosen. I believe it is the same with Wince, Zaurus, HP, Psion, Libretto... etc. As strange as it may sound, one of the major decision points for the HP200 for me was the ability to use the cc:Mail. I have since learned a lot of other advantages to the 200 but had a Wince unit been able to have a better interface into my company's cc:Mail, I might be using one of them. (I also got it used for $250 which didn't hurt the decision process..) So, to each their own.. I'm just happy we have a whole list of people that tell me how intelligent I am each day for choosing the "right" machine. Guess it is a good thing I don't subscribe to the Wince mailing list where they would be reaffirming my stupidity daily. Cheers Hal At 10:08 AM 8/2/97 -0400, you wrote: >I disagree.

Try Harry Konstas' DBVIEW or DBCALC. DBVIEW is available at the SUPER site: http;//www.palmtop.net/super.html I think DBCALC is at the eddie site: ftp://eddie.mit.edu/pub/hp95lx/NEW/ DBVIEW is a database viewer that includes a calculator for the numeric fields. DBCALC is just the database calculator.

Melancon" Subject: Re: Misc. info needed Domingo My business provides used car cosmetic repairs for auto dealers. I use a separate file for each of my dealers. Each vehicle is a record - fields for info I want to keep track of. I use check boxes to track the steps through my system. I have check boxes for -done- invoiced- paid- reported- and sold. I setup subsets of "all vehicles" - "not done" - "done/not invoiced"- "invoiced/not paid"- and"paid/not reported". As I process vehicles they move from one subset to another - when I check "done" it moves from the "not done" subset to the "done/ not invoiced" subset and so on. So I work with subsets and go down the list in each to "do" "invoice" "get paid" "report" "mark sold". When the unit is sold I don't need to track it any longer - so I can delete it then if I need the room. The speed has been fine for me. There are only a few hundred records in each file - searches (don't include notefields in the search) don't keep me waiting long. Most of my use involves switching between subsets - this is quick enough too. I can see if you had a much larger number of records - or do searches on note fields you could grow old waiting for the search to run Mike ---------- From: ddv Sent: Saturday, August 02, 1997 8:29 PM To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU Subject: Re: Misc. info needed On Sat, 2 Aug 1997, Michael R.

My favorite DOS-based DBMS is zoomracks, which is a little clunky on my 200 but works. My problem is in sharing the DB info with my laptop. Zoomracks won't import GDB files that have long notes. Zoomrack's greatest weakness is handling long input lines. So... I'm looking for a small DOS-based DBMS that will import GDB files after they've been comma delimited through Steven Roth's gdbdump.exe. Gdbdump handles the long notes very well, but I haven't found a program that will import them. I downloaded 19 different database progs from simtel today which I will begin trying out tomorrow. Do you know of such a DBMS? I don't need frills. I mostly want good browse-ability and a subset-like function. Small is always a plus. Is PC-File available over the NET? I couldn't find it at Walnut Creek Simtel. I'm betting it's not small, but I'd like to check it out.

But does it work??? Sorry, I couldn't find the original posting, but I don't remember it dealing with the following questions: Does the "point" function do any more than display the date? Can anyone exlain the Dat/Sum option and the cost/date feature. The second seems obvious but I'm curious why a Japanese speaker would choose the word "date" over "day." And the first leads me to believe that re-calculating is an option. Under the options menu I can change what seems to be a template for primary and secondary holidays. Is there a difference between choosing "init" and "OK"? And are holidays chosen at the "summary" level merely initializers for the "details" level where they seem cusomizeable? In the diagram function, is there any difference between choosing "close" "cancel" and "OK"? Where does the HELP key really take me? I seem to be in a blank file. Most of the features seem to work normally, but the "detail"-"summary" function key is changed to read "return". Is there a "re-calc" function? If I set up a schedule in chronological order everything works fine. But as soon as I add something in the middle, or even change the required time for one of the "details," carefully defined dependent steps of my project (using "fix" on a few of these, including the last one) are out of order. Some "details" shoot out of the boundaries I've set up on the summary level. Some available days are not even used. I know I must be missing something here. On a similar note, is there a reverse action for the "Minimum" feature? As far as I can tell it shrinks each "detail" down to one day and makes me work on holidays. This is the closest I've come to finding a "re-calc".

I was running my new Garmin II+ GPS into a mapping program (APRS) on my old 100LX on a sailboat on a lake in the California Sierras 2 days ago. Well, I flipped the boat while fiddling with the electronics. The Garmin & HPLX were submerged for about 3 minutes and then sat, wet, for another 30 minutes till I got back to the cabin and my wife's hair dryer. Result: The Garmin, advertised as water resistant, kept on ticking, though it did lose satellite lock while it was under water, and then reacquired in a minute after coming up for air. The batteries didn't even short out while wet. The HP100LX was flat dead. I blew it dry, removed the batteries and backup battery, let it sit for a day, and yesterday afternoon ( ~ 24hrs) it started up like brand new. Since I had just backed up to a flash card, I didn't even lose any data.

The 50CT has a 75MHz Pentium with 16M of RAM expandable to 32M. The US model comes with a 772M hard disk, the Japanese model has a 810M disk. The two versions have slightly different keyboards. 640x480 color TFT active matrix display, built-in Sound-Blaster-compatible sound system, and a almost full-size keyboard. One PCMCIA slot, optional external floppy and CD. About half the size of a typical notebook machine, still a LOT bigger than the 200LX. Comes with Windows95 installed, people have successfully installed WindowsNT and/or Linux on them. You can get full details at www.toshiba.com. Just search for "Libretto". We have one, my wife uses it for some of her stuff. I find the battery life to be poor (they claim 3-4 hours). And the batteries will drain if you leave it plugged in and turned on for a whole day. Because it's Win95, it's not the fastest booting machine in the world. And you can't turn it off by hitting the power switch. You have to shut down Win95, telling it to shut down. It will then power itself off. It is small, fitting nicely in a briefcase or a large purse. But because of its boot-up and shutdown processes, you don't want to use it just to look up a phone number. What a shame, since we got the one with some nice PIM software, in addition to Word and Excel (all in Japanese). Simply stated, it is just a small notebook machine, used the same way.

Two answers: 1) Some limited totalling in DBView, a must-have utility for viewing GDB and NDB files from DOS (find it on SUPER). 2) Export using GDBIO and suck into anything from Excel to Paradox.

To my knowledge, every USR 28.8 card ever made exceeds the 200LX's 150mA limit on card slot current. You're lucky the LX works at all with that card in place. 2. You should never insert a PC Card in the 200LX with the power on. There is a warning about this on page 1-7 of the user's guide, with a vague warning about potential data loss. From what I've been able to piece together, this is an electrical limitation that can result in malfunction due to disturbances in the power supply and data bus. 3. I recently discovered a posting to comp.sys.palmtops, via Deja News, that explained that the two pins that are used for card battery status in memory cards are used for other purposes in I/O cards, and that the 200LX doesn't manage this intelligently. Another posting (by Tom Gibson) from the same thread noted that the "card battery low" message appears when using the Silicom ethernet card, which is a low-power card that is known to work with the 200LX. The bottom line is that card battery status information for an I/O card is often bogus, and apparently harmless. -Jim. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 4 Aug 1997 10:37:54 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jim Smith Organization: Smith Charter Associates Subject: Times2 upgrade MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I am interested in hearing from anyone who has purchased Times2 Techspeed upgrade.

I installed them myself as it sounds like you are going to. The crystal was not too hard if you have soldered before. Once installed you HAVE to have the driver from Times2 installed all the time or the screen is funny. Just make a backup copy on a flash ram card in case you loose your C: drive on the HP while you are on a trip or something. If you don't have a flash card, I can't recommend the upgrade for that reason. Otherwise, the speed upgrade is great. Everything that I've tried works fine. I have used comm programs with an internal modem just fine; I have not tried the serial port at all but it is supposed to be OK with the driver in place. The extra speed is nice, "speed200" shows the system as the same as a 6MHz AT. (varies with screen mode). I suppose that there are some real old arcade games made for the old XT only that might be too fast. Hope this helps -Bryan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 4 Aug 1997 13:06:44 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Al Kind Subject: HPLX-L: fwd from CONCENTRIC.NET MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Got this in the mail today.

Anything= you > guys (or gals) could tell me would help. There are two excellent full-featured CAD programs that are available AFAIK and one smaller 'Drawing' program. Of the two CAD progs 'Draft Choice for the 200LX' is my favourite. I tried it several months ago= and found it to run very well indeed with reasonable speed. Took if off= my drive only because I had no real use for it at the time plus it ate= about 1.5Mb as I recall. This program is available on www.palmtop.net/super.html I cannot remember the name of the other CAD program but the drawing= program is called PalDraw. Not really a CAD program but is very useful and it= also has the look and feel of the built-in applications. Can also export= its native files to a standard dxf file format.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I think there are no comparison that can be made between an organizer (like Windows CE machines or the HPLX) and a mini notebook like the libretto or the IBM PC110 because the battery life and access time is dramatically different !!! It takes hardly no time to gain access to pieces of info in an organizer... whereas it usually takes relatively long on a notebook (under normal circumstances like when you don't have your notebook plugged in all the time (the resume mode is quite fast...) Of course the processing speed is very different... Nobody can argue here ! BUT, one of the most important issue in a portable device is its battery life: imagine the relief of having an autonomy of several weeks ! The conclusion is that I don't think anybody will succeed (in the immediate future) in using (to its maximum efficiency)a mini notebook (whatever its size) like the Libretto as we all use our PDA. Color screens, fast licro processors and large capacity HD are far too energy consuming and batteries definitely seem not being able to keep up with the increase of performance. Long live to the HPLX and the WinCE machines ! I personnaly stuck to my 100LX which I find more efficient despite its age; I most appreciate the Dos compatibility and the access to such a huge library. And I find the built-in apps a lot more comprehensive then the Win CE's. I guess things will change as more buyers turn towards WinCE, but in the mean time...

What is not so evident is whether the most important aspect is cost or convenience, since we cannot have both. The latter is clearly uppermost in the mind of David Sargeant on Thursday, 31Jul 1997:- > Snip > As soon as we get some decent power technology...how about a nuclear > battery? Some kind of decaying radioactive element producing heat > could power a battery...might not be able to cram that kind of thing > into a AA package, though. David may be nearer to the truth than he thinks, but that's another story for later. However, of the two ways to greatly reduce or even eliminate cost, one is immediately achievable. Crombie Redd has to be thanked for this idea, which he described elsewhere in comp.sys.palmtops and also passed on to our Australian group. I recently decided to take up his idea and in turn pass on my experience for the benefit of other power-hungry users. On 12 Jul 1997, Crombie said to me:- > By far the cheapest solution is to go to your nearest "fast photo" > place and ask them if they would give you any of the batteries they > take out of the disposable cameras.

The nearest Kodak shop likewise had a regular "customer". They also said that the throw-away cameras were recycled. However, my neighbourhood Kodak place was very helpful and soon I had a shopping bag a third full batteries! This is where convenience, or lack of it, starts to bite into cost, or lack of it. The bag had a mixture of battery types, which had to be sorted out and tested, this taking several hours. I include a summary of the results, since some of the non-AA-size batteries could be useful for other applications. It must also be said that I am not a battery expert and at that stage did not have a specific tester. Of a total of 317 individual batteries, there were 110 of the AA 1.5v types, 14 of these being the ordinary zinc kind, leaving 96 alkalines (no lithiums) of interest. Of the remainder, there were 56 3v lithiums still in double packs and 74 single 3v lithiums, both representing two different sizes. Apart from 10 odd small batteries that I've never seen before, the rest were silver button lithium batteries in various sizes (18 large, 26 small and 3 narrow but long (6v?)). The large size is the same as the back-up battery in the Palmtops. I used the disposable tester for AA batteries that comes with some packs of Duracell alkalines. It tests batteries under slight load and allowed the 96 alkalines to be divided up into dud, bordering on "good" (which I shall call poor), just into "good" and truly "good". I then compared the groups with a voltmeter having graduations of 0.2v. The poor group registered around 1.3v, leaving the "good" group at 1.3-1.4v and the truly "good" group at +1.4v. I took samples of the two last-mentioned groups and inserted them into my 100LX. The truly good group produced a "full" indication on the Palmtop, whereas the 1.3-1.4v group were just below full. This is the only practical way that was available to make a reasonable assessment. From past experience, the truly good group could be used straight away, the other good group would do better with a boost on a Greencell regenerator just before use and might give half normal life, possibly able to take another boost. In terms of numbers, there were 42 duds, 26 poor, 16 good and 12 truly good. I have had time to test only some of the other sizes using the meter and about a third of them would be useable as good to truly good. What all this seems to mean (and my Kodak dealer may not be typical regarding turnover of batteries) is that only about a third of the batteries available are AA cells, none lithium. Of these, only around a third would be worth re-using immediately; and this figure was similar in the other groups of batteries, which could, of course, be used for other purposes. In summary, about a ninth of what I was able to get from Kodak was worth immediately putting into my Palmtop. However, this should keep me going for months. So there you have it - free batteries! Hope it helps. Next time I shall ask Kodak, if it is not too difficult, to have the AA cells kept separately.

Apparently, gcc only runs under a unix (such as Linux), but not under DOS. There is the ELK project going, to port Linux to 16bit PCs, but it's not done yet ... Also, gcc is pretty big and not written with efficiency as a first concern (though it's very good in other ways), so it might not be great on the lx, anyway. BTW if Linux did run on the lx, it would be the first unix palmtop (I think). But I think getting linux running on the 320lx would really be something worthwhile.

Because, I am concluing, PC Card support on the 200LX was engineered during the early days of the standard, and never updated. The fundamental problem is that most currently-shipping devices ship with software that expects the host to have Card and Socket Services built in or installed. As near as I can tell, the 200LX supports cards strictly through dedicated drives, called point enablers. If you can't find a point enabler for the card, or install Card and Socket Services, you're out of luck. SystemSoft, which wrote CIC100, no longer supports old DOS systems, they told me today. One Usenet poster last year reported that Phoenix PCM+ didn't work for him. That leaves Award and, perhaps, Intel Card Manager. > What is the qlogic? It4s like Adaptec or Future Domain? QLogic is a hardware manufacturer, headquartered in California. Their web site is http://qlogic.qlc.com/. You'll find reference to their PCMCIA SCSI adapters under Products->QLA->Retired Products. They offer a driver package that appears to include a point enabler, for download. -Jim. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 5 Aug 1997 01:49:44 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Andreas Garzotto Subject: Re: Y-a-t-il des Francais ?

Sounds like it was a joke to me. But it seems to have touched a nerve on many people... What we need, of course, is a plug-in translation module for Post/LX! We can have modules for English, Spanish, French, Pig Latin, and whatever other fine languages we HP'ers decide to use... :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 5 Aug 1997 02:13:16 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Michael R.

My favorite DOS-based DBMS is zoomracks, which is a little clunky on my 200 but works. My problem is in sharing the DB info with my laptop. Zoomracks won't import GDB files that have long notes. Zoomrack's greatest weakness is handling long input lines. So... I'm looking for a small DOS-based DBMS that will import GDB files after they've been comma delimited through Steven Roth's gdbdump.exe. Gdbdump handles the long notes very well, but I haven't found a program that will import them. I downloaded 19 different database progs from simtel today which I will begin trying out tomorrow. Do you know of such a DBMS? I don't need frills. I mostly want good browse-ability and a subset-like function. Small is always a plus. Is PC-File available over the NET? I couldn't find it at Walnut Creek Simtel. I'm betting it's not small, but I'd like to check it out.

Great machine. I'm no DOS fan, but I choose it because there is plenty of easily available programming tools for it, plenty of software for it, and full hardware information about it (though you have to buy the SDK). It's DOS, so that means it's well known and fully documented (even undocumented tips). Because of all that, Win CE machines were totally discarded by me. Another thing I do like of this machine (and palmtops in general, maybe excludig Win CE machines, but it's probably because I hate W) is that because of it's speed and storage limitations programs MUST be small and efficient. I plan program a lot on the 200LX, and when thinking about the storage limitations got some ideas I would like to share with everybody in order to get your comments, and posibly start a programming group: When you create a new program using a C compiler, an important percentage of it's size are the libraries. Just try to compile and compare two programs: one with just a void main function and other with a printf (printf uses to be one of the largest library functions). Another good example would be the floating point library. I guess that's the reason because of which the concept of shared libraries was born, and thats more or less what I would like to do with the HP200LX. I tought that if I make three programs, most of the library code will be the same, thus wasting my precious -and expensive- flash card space. So, wouldn't be great to have some kind of dynamic linking ?. I would like to hear about ANY suggestion for implementations, but meanwhile, there are mines: 1- 'Real' dynamic linking. This would require an special stub loader in each EXE, which loads the real program in memory, seeks for the libraries, loads the required functions, and finally performs the linking. I still have to think about this, but I guess it will need an special linker for the compiler, and one of my goals is to do it as compiler-independent as possible. 2- When compiling, substitute library functions by inlined INT calls. This is very easy. But where to place libraries ?... always in memory ?. Maybe having only in memory a driver that loads the required libraries when they are first requested. I know there are lots of side problems, like the fact that maybe in the moment the programs calls a function DOS is not ready to load a file from disk. Moreover... when to unload libraries ?... when the program finishes ?. The good thing is that for each compiler, we would only have to rewrite each library function as an inlined INT call (which is almost just a -big- typing task). Well, I'll keep on thinking about this stuff, but as I said, would like to hear any comments/suggestions to see if it's worth and the best way to do it. Remember, I'm just new to 200LX, not an experienced user. Regards.

Actually, you probably *can* get away with English in Japan - they also understand the value of speaking a second language. Unfortunately, what you said only serves to fan the flames of isolationism, and you would have been better advised to have criticised the fact that some parts of the world are very insular.

On the HP you dont really have this problem as you are really only running one DOS program at a time. However, you have multiple copies of library code etc etc on "disk" (Which is also memory). Here a great saving can be made by loading the libraries from a disk image at run time. The best example of this is Stefan's LXPIC which is specifically designed with this in mind. The problem is of course that you have different compilers and multiple memory models so if you were to create, for example a PAL.COM file with the PAL library functions in it, you would have to use the large memory model in order to support all providers. And how many PAL programs do you have on your HP, and how many of the authors of theose programs would rewrite their code in order to use PAL.COM and not just link in the PAL libraries.

No need to share code at execution time, but to share library code on storage. What I would like to do is a 'common' standard C library that could be run-time linkable. At the first moment, I thought that maybe replacing library calls in the program by inlined INT calls, and loading the whole library in memory, hooked through that INT, would be enough. But that goes against the 'library' philosophy, since not *all* the library functions will be needed. So, again, the best would be to make a stub loader for each exe, that checks what library fucntions are used and does dynamic link from a common library file. The problem is how to do it without having to do extensive hacking on compiler-specific tools like tlink. >this is Stefan's LXPIC which is specifically designed with this in mind. That's great, but only for graphics. Just imagine how much space would be saved if we could do that also for 'printf', for instace. >The problem is of course that you have different compilers and multiple >memory models so if you were to create, for example a PAL.COM file with the >PAL library functions in it, you would have to use the large memory model >in order to support all providers.

I was not expecting authors to rewrite their code once a shared library and methods for dynamic linking are released, but just to give the tools for future programs to use less of our expensive solid state storage media. But also think that if compiler-specific 'fake' libraries (this is, substitutes of the standard libraries that just call the common shared libraries) are provided, software authors would just have to recompile their programs with the new libraries. If properly done (this is, for example, declaring all 'fake' functions as far), just a single model common library would be needed. Salu2.

It's available on SimTel sites /msdos/datacomm/ directory. Also at ftp://ftp.ordata.com/COMMO/ The ordata site also has the latest 7.0f beta version which now has= a configurable cursor. (A block cursor is a LOT easier to see on the palmtop screen. If you need small, you will need to 86 the help files for the beta version, since they include the COMPLETE manual (about 360K).

The program is completely configurable, and can be enhanced thru use of macros (it has a comprehensive macro language).

As I reported the other day, a tech support rep. at Systemsoft said that they their product (Cardsoft) doesn't support the 200LX. This was based on my description of the unit (80186 running DOS 5.0), but he also had a vague recollection of it, and a posting to c.s.h from late 1995 had the same news. Systemsoft wrote CIC100, by the way, which is why I was hopeful. The two other vendors I know of are Award and Phoenix. I left voicemail with both. Intel also has their own package, called Card Manager, but it's been discontinued and apparently only ever shipped with their cards. The Eiger Labs web page indicates that *they* were supposed to ship a CSS with the card. I'm guessing that I got an older version of the driver disk (Sequoia vs. Corel drivers, etc.), and I'm dogging their tech. support about it. -Jim. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 6 Aug 1997 11:43:38 -0300 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Pablo Hyun KIM Subject: Re: SCSI PCMCIA Trouble!!!

It allows the creation of dynamic link libraries with just about any DOS-based compiler. The same concept as U**x shared libs and Win DLLs.

Something goofy happened at my end and I am not sure if this actually went out or not¨ I know this has been discussed here (or was it a news group??) before but... I want to get a belt pouch for my 200 and see that EduCalc has two: "The Pouch" and "The Belt Holster". The descriptions and pictures are a little on the lame side so I have some questions: - which has a belt CLIP rather than a belt LOOP. What I'm looking for is something that is secure on a belt but can be removed without removing the belt - they both seem to have some sort of Velcro strap to keep the HP from falling out. Is that accurate? Is the strap just a strip of Velcro or is is Velcro mounted on a bit of whatever the case is made of? - does anyone have/use the shoulder strap for "The Pouch"? Good? Bad? Get you arrested for carrying a concealed weapon? I guess they are cheap enough (and I'm not paying for it! :) that I can get both and stick one in a drawer or return it or whatever but I don't like wasting time. Thanks in advance. jaime -- Jaime A.

It replaces the ASSIGN command with the added benefit of using no conventional memory (don't ask me how it works)...so it'll save you 1.5K. SUBST should be on versions of DOS after 3.1 (I think).

You're not wrong. The 1997 CD (which I'm pretty sure is the latest) runs on "HyperReader" under Windows. It's not a very good program, and there's not really anything that can be done about it. If it wasn't for the information that the CD provides, I wouldn't use it, because of the HyperReader program. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 7 Aug 1997 10:45:27 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Souza, Mr Stephen" Subject: Re: zip.com problems with NT or 95?

Hi! I don't have the handbook at hand with the wireing information, sorry. But as a 10pin Connector I used a connector for small harddisks. They are in a 2mm spacing with 2 lines of I think 40 connections. I just cut it to the right length, glued a plate beneth with resulted the right hight for the opening in the palmtop and was also used to fix the cable with a wirerap to the selfmade connector. After soldering I used a two component glue to fill the open spaces between the single wires. You have to be carefull, not to fill the connector, too. The cable works well at home for backup, but I also bought the original cabel from HP for traveling. I couldnot find such a flexible wire as HP used and so it is much more convenient for taking it with me. The selfmade cable was DM20 and a lot of work, the original was DM49. It was not worth the difference to search for a better cable.(Normaly it is enough to have only 3 Wires, but I needed all Signals for a application) Hope this was a little help Karsten > From: J S > Subject: Re: pc - hp200 link cable? > Comments: To: hyunspak@MOVI.COM.AR > To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU > > Hello! > > Can you send me the diagram to? > > about the 10 pin hp connector i did not understand what you wrote. i > tried to find such a connector but with no luck. > > > Thanks Yehuda. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 7 Aug 1997 12:50:22 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Andreas Garzotto Subject: Re: FLUFF: Y-a-t-il des Francais ?

Apex Data (http://www.apexdata.com/) makes 14.4 and 28.8 cell-compatible modems that draw sufficiently low current to work with the palmtop. They even placed a press rlease with the Palmtop Paper, the issue before last, and make a combo flash/modem for the 200LX, so they know the machine. I've successfully used their 14.4 over a landline. They offer cables for connection to a limited number of phones. My phone isn't among them so I haven't tried it's cellular capability. I couldn't find the phone compatibility list on Apex Data's site, but Supplynet (http://www.thesupplynet.com/) lists Apex Data cables for the Nokia 2120, as well as the usual Ericsson, Motorola, NEC, Oki and Sony models. -Jim. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 7 Aug 1997 14:30:25 -0300 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Pablo Hyun KIM Subject: HP CABLE DIAGRAM Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------691826E644EC" This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------691826E644EC Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi!

The upper memory area consists of the 384K just above 640K (and before= 1Mb) and its the divisions of that area that are referred to as the UMB's. Unfortunately MS-DOS progs and processors incapable of running in protected= mode cannot address it. That includes our darling 200LX :-( Your next best bet is EMS (expanded memory) which will run on *any*= MS-DOS computer regardless of processor - however unless your program/s were written to take advantage of EMS then you're stuck with the conventional stuff .

The manufacturer, Connectware, has a web page is at: http://www.connectware.com/ They (or at least their web site) appear to have moved on to ATM networking hardware, but they do have a few Win95 support files for the card, and their tech. support department (support@connectware.com) might be able to help. -Jim. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 7 Aug 1997 16:25:09 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: John Ramos Subject: Transfile Win 200 In-Reply-To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Has anyone else had any experience with Yellow Computing's TransFile Win 200.

That includes our darling 200LX :-( They can. But only if hardware maps memory to those addresses. What happens with protected mode capable processors, is that even if hardware is not able to map memory at those addresses, the processor memory management unit can do it in protected mode. Since our 200LX is a 80186 machine, it has only a 1MB addressing space. Lower 640K are for DOS and applications. The last 64KB are for BIOS, and in between there is the display memory. The rest is used for several purposes, one of them is memory paging in order to access the rest of the RAM as drive C:. Since I haven't got the hardware information about HP200LX, I just don't know if the hornet chip is able to map ram into the rest of upper free space (this is, excluiding BIOS, display memory and paging for drives C: and D:) in order to turn it into UMBs. Maybe I'll but the SDK, which I believe contains such information. If if finally do it, one of the things I plan is to provide some UMB support for the HP200LX.

If you're trying it under win95 then it won't work :-( My guess= is that since you have reached the point of scanning the palmtop then it= must be a config problem? I have used the software under win3.x and it ran well - I was a bit disappointed in a few aspects of the program that I felt were too limiting= one of which being no support for database (gdb) files also long entries in some fields of phonebook are truncated during the merge/translate routines.

The best example is Schedule+ (win95) and the Appointment Book in the HP. Example: I wander around using my palmtop while no where near my company's network. I receive appointments and stuff from my manager via Schedule's ability to "share" schedules with others in a workgroup. By using IntelliSync, I can bring the schedule information from Schedule+ into my palmtop for reference through out the day. I can also make "on the fly" changes to my future plans that after an IntelliSync session are available to my managers. IntelliSync is good. It can handle customized phone books (phone.pdb modified as a .gdb file). It will allow "collision" management between conflicting appointments. It has full system (HP to PC) backup support. It will (I don't use this much) sync your "to do" lists, database files, and your phone book. It is very well supported by a (now the following statement is unusual, I admit) intelligent, thoughtful, and knowledgeable tech staff.

Book, Phone Book, Note Taker and Database applications with Windows apps on the desktop. Field mapping is used to accomplish this. You can also import and export data using IntelliSync.

Following test was done on a clock-doubled 200lx w/6mb ram (3.5mb free) - Flash card is a 20mb Kingston w/ 5.5mb free. - GDB file was defragmented prior to the test. - results were consistent for 3 test runs Time to search a 364k .gdb for a text string: Flash: 18 sec RAM : 27 sec Flash wins in database searching (as David reported). Next test was a generic read/write speed check. The test uses a batch file to repeatedly copy a 100k file 10 times and notes the start/end times. I can post the batch file if anyone is interested (its about 15 lines long). I constructed the test file using a text editor. Timing was done using the DOS TIME command. - test was repeated 3 times and results were consistent in each test. Times: Flash: 9 sec RAM : 3.5 sec RAM wins in generic read/write, so flash performance (over RAM) isn't a given in all cases. My guess is that HP's database apps (ADB,NDB,PDB,GDB) use database techniques of buffering and pointers that may be affected by the cluster size of the storage media (in terms of performance). - Longden ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 8 Aug 1997 08:30:53 PDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Francois-Xavier Albouy Subject: ram Content-Type: text/plain If I improve the ram of my palmtop from 1 to 4 or 8 MB does this mean that i will have 8 MB of ram like on a normal computer or that i will have 640ko of memory and the rest of disk? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 8 Aug 1997 11:43:14 EDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Daniel Z.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit OK, I did a few timings, and on my machine, the "flash is faster" theory didn't hold up. I timed searching a 3MB file for a text string... C: (internal RAM) - 21.1 sec PNY 4MB compact flash - 23.2 sec IBM 10MB flash file (sandisk) - 25.6 sec IBM 10MB flash file (fragmented)- 25.5 sec PNY 8MB compact flash - 23.1 sec The second IBM flash card is my regular A: drive, and it had 7MB of files on it and I've never defragmented it. The extra files didn't make any difference in the timing, as might be suspected since the media is all solid state. CHKDSK showed that my test file was in 28 fragments on that drive. Of course, the write times for flash are a lot longer too. Be neat if someone were to write a small program that would time the transfer rate of drives on the HP by reading sectors; then we could compare vs. flash cards.

Maybe count them on 1-2 hands, maybe a couple of toes. Microtech doesn't make anything themselves. Most of the "Name Brand" cards are actually made by one of the few manufacturers. I have a Microtech 40 made in Japan by IBM? It gets very grey as to who makes what.

Lotus Organizer Version 2.1 Supported Sections IntelliSync supports the Synchronize, Import, and Export operations for the Lotus Organizer 2.1 sections listed below: Address Anniversary Calendar Calls Notepad Planner To Do System Options=20 Rename Section Option Since Lotus Organizer allows you to customize section names, IntelliSync provides the corresponding capability. To modify section names in IntelliSync, go to the Options dialog. In the Section Name list box, select the section name you wish to change. Then click the Rename button and type the new section name into the small dialog which appears. Note that changing a section name in this dialog does not affect the section name in Lotus Organizer. Section names must be changed in both locations. Data Transfer Requirements It is not necessary to close the selected Lotus Organizer file before performing a data transfer. The only exception to this rule is if the "Single user access" box was checked at the time the Lotus Organizer file was created (in Save As dialog box). Be sure to un-check the box if you wish to use a file which is currently open. Note, however, that if you do use an open file, you will need to re-open the file once the operation is completed. This is necessary in order to force Lotus Organizer to refresh the file display. =DE Note: If you create a new file in Lotus Organizer and save it with = the "Single user access" dialog box unchecked, you must close and reopen the file before you can synchronize it (or access it during an import or export). Backup Files During an IntelliSync operation, IntelliSync always creates a backup copy of the Lotus Organizer file before applying any updates. This allows you to restore the original file contents should the data transfer produce undesirable results. All backup files are created in the same directory as the original data file. The backup files always retain the "base" name of the original file, but are assigned a .bak file extension. Look for files with these file extensions to locate the most recent backup copy of a Lotus Organizer data file. Group Scheduling Login When Lotus Organizer has been installed on a server, and is being used as a group scheduler, additional information is required for IntelliSync to successfully complete an operation. This information is not required if Lotus Organizer has been installed as a stand-alone (non-group scheduling) application. If Lotus Organizer is installed either in a Single-Server or Notes configuration, a User Name and Password is required to login to the network. When installed in a cc:Mail environment, a Post Office address must also be supplied. This option does not appear in the Login dialog box, unless installed in a cc:Mail environment. If you do not know your post office path, contact your system administrator for details. When installed in a network environment, IntelliSync will prompt you once to supply or confirm a User Name, Password, and Post Office address (only applicable to cc:Mail). If default values exist, these will appear in the User Name and Post Office parameters. Once the network settings have been supplied once, they will be used in all subsequent attempts to perform a synchronization. If you later need to change these settings, you may edit the contents of the initialization file Organize.ini located in the installation directory. Alternatively, you can remove the file Organize.ini altogether to force the prompt to appear the next time you run an IntelliSync operation. The initialization file Organize.ini contains the User Name, Password, and cc:Mail Post Office address, using the following format: ÝLogin¨ UserName=3D=20 Password=3D=20 PostOffice=3D Supply alternative values adjacent to the appropriate option names to cause IntelliSync to apply different login parameters on all subsequent synchronization requests.=20 Repeating Items Repeating items can be transferred intact between the HP 200LX and Lotus Organizer, with one exception. Repeating items generated in the Lotus Organizer Calendar section are fanned into individual items when they are transferred to the HP 200LX.

Same here- I have used an EXP ThinFax (4MB) and got the error message= many times. As I have seen, I would like to say that the driver for the card= is not well written. This error occure for example when you give a wrong DOS command (wrong spelling etc.). The EXP driver will then do= so a check if the 'wrong command' is something you have on the F disk. If= you then don't have the EXP inserted, an error message will show up. I have also experienced some DOS programs which will try to access the F drive even= if it's not there- card out. In general, the first driver EXP came out= with was really bad. The update was better. The card is in general ok, but not= of high quality and the driver could be improved.

Talking of bigger cases, case logic has a PDA case for the sharp zaurus that fits a 200LX nicely. I have one of those palmtop holders that is attached to the case and holds my HP. Also has space for the power supply, credit cards and a pen. Nice case for 20 bucks.

In-Reply-To: <199708082030.NAA14388@garlic.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I'm preparing to purchase a new digital camera. I'll probably wind up getting the Kodak DC25, due to price constraints. I really want a camera with an LCD screen to preview pictures on, which cinches the DC25 for me. I intend to use the 200LX and my 20MB flash as a "photo album" while I'm out on trips, etc. Has anyone successfully used this combo? I understand that the only difference between the DC20 and DC25 is the 25 has a built-in flash, 2 megs of ram, a card slot, and the LCD... so I believe that LXDC may work. (Hopefully... if not, there's also DC20Term.exe.) Please email me with any tales of the 200LX and a digital camera... or even just your "take" on the whole digital camera issue.

I use Eudora Pro v3.0. It allows you to pass all incoming messages through a set of filters, and, dependind on certain conditions, perform certain operations on messages. I created a mailbox called "HPLX list", and set a filter that when finds the chain "HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU" in any field of the message header, transfers it to that mailbox. So, alter each mail check, I get all my messages automatically sorted in different mailboxes. Regards.

Since the Chinese version of 95 and Schedule+, etc., is Chinese only in the user interface and the program language behind is English, I guess there may some possibllities to sychronize the Eng info.

Dynamic linking will consist in loading the required libraries and filling that table with appropiate pointers. Define each 'fake' function in a separate file, so just that function (pointer) is linked when used. Problems:=09 - Little calling overhead (just reading the pointer from memory). Probably unnoticeable (unless the function has only a few instructions). - Need of information of where in the data area are the pointers, in order for the dynamic linker to fill them. =BF How to produce it ? (I=20 guess method will be probably compiler-dependent). Advantages: - Fake functions (pointers) easily portable to different compilers. - No code growing. Instead of calls to function addresses, indirect calls. Same size (or even smaller if large model used). Extra size only due to pointer location information (for filling when dynamic linking). - ROMable. No code modification required (see option 2), all moficications are done on the data segment (pointer filling). Probably useless anyway in our case. OPTION 2: Substitute each function call by special code such as "PUSH nnnn, INT mm", where nnnn is the library/function code, and mm is the vector to which the dynamic linker is hooked, either as a TSR or either as part of the program (a INT mm is smaller than a call to a function if the dynamic liner is part of the program).=20 Problems: - Unless it's possible to load needed functions when they are first called, they all will need to be loaded toghether with the program, so it's still needed some report about the functions used (loading the entire library would use too much memory). - Jumping to the appropiate function in the INT reoutine depending on the function/library code, would mean a big execution time penalty. To solve this, the first time the function is called from that point of the code, the code could be patched to be a direct call to an absolute address. Then, it would be unROMable (doesn't matter in out case). - Code growth. PUSH nnnn, INT mm are five bytes, same as calls in large model, but larger that in small model. - And the MAIN PROBLEM: how to substitute function calls by that special code. The only compiler that I know can do it is WATCOM C through the pragma directive. It's a very good compiler, but I don't want to restrict this project to a single compiler. The benefit will come if most programmers share the same common libraries (very easy if thos are the standar C libraries). In other compilers, that special code would have to go encapsulated into another function, wich means execution penalty and code growth. Advantages: - No memory use for function pointers as in option 1.=09 - Would be possible to completely isolate the program and the dynamic linker. You link your program with the 'fake' libraries, and that's all. If the dynamic linker is loaded, it will patch the program wihout any help from it. (except maybe a list of used functions in order to not having to load them in the middle of the program's executioun, which could be somewhat dangerous). IMO, the pointer approach is the best: it's fully portable. No 'dirty' things like code mofication. The only problem to be solved is how to know where into the data area are the pointers, and include information of what functions they must point to. I'll keep on researching in that direction. It's interesting, though, the 'isolation' advantage of option 2, so, I'll not discard it yet. Greetings. Nacho. P.S: I have Turbo C 2.0, Borland C++ 3.1 and WATCOM C/C++ 10.5, and will try to get something at least useable for all three, with more attention to Turbo C 2.0, because it's the most suitable (if not the only) to run on the HP200LX itself. If anyone is interested in another compiler, contact me, please. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 9 Aug 1997 11:45:53 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Andreas Garzotto Subject: Re: HP300LX - accentuation of characters MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > The first HP300LX I saw seemed funny to me (despite the big size and > weight, and the "not so bright" display) but no matter I tried I could= not > accentuate any character. You can create accented characters on a desktop, download the document to the WinCE unit and copy and paste the characters there. Supposingly, there are also add-on programs that allow you to enter those characters. Supposingly, there will be (when?) localized units that allow you to enter some accented characters directly.

PROLOG is a (so called) fifth generation language where often you don't describe what to do, but rathter the result you want and PROLOG's built-in inference engine figures out how to arrive at the result. You can enter facts and rules and PROLOG arrives at the answer. It is sort of like playing a game to code in PROLOG. It can be frustrating for a traditional programmer though because you have to change your thinking quite a bit. You can't say: Count = Count + 1 Because that doesn't make sense logically! You have to say: NewCount = Count + 1 Anyway, PDC PROLOG will create really fast exes that will run great on an HP 200LX. I've recently developed a program for musicians to help them train their musical ear. It will run on just about any PC including a 200 LX. I wrote it all in PDC PROLOG. >------------------------------------------------------------------------- >***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** >List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: >www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml > > ========================================================================== Philip Seyer -- author of *What Makes Music Work* -- "A lucid, well-organzied introduction to music theory" -- American Library Association http://www.http://www.ilovemusic.com/argentin.htm -- http://www.ilovemusic.com (Free 19 cent a minute calling cards.)

Issues: * Desktop email format. This would be easy with Netscape mail *iff* you're not using compressed folders. (maybe those too?) Basically any email app that lets you manipulate its folders (i.e. read/grab messages *and* add/delete messages) would be OK. * UQWK format. Probably need to grab some UQWK UNIX source code, unless someone has a source of UQWK specs. Altavista turned up http://shrine.cyber.ad.jp/~jwt/uqwk/ for starters. There's apps at: http://www.cpdee.ufmg.br/simtel/simtel_index_offline.html * Just the Inbox folder? I'm guessing a lot of folks have got some mail filtering rules in place and might want more than the Inbox. * What language to write the converter in? I'd suggest Perl, being as platform-neutral as possible so more folks can use the tool. * Replies. How would these be sent? I'd think a script could scan whatever list of folders you wanted, grab the Un-read messages (without attachments?), maybe prepend Ýfolder-name¨ to the subject line, create a UQWK bundle for PNR. In PNR you could use the "Save" option to save a message (as foo.msg in the REPLIES folder) and the normal Reply to reply. Once done, you'd move all the files from the REPLIES folder back to the desktop and a second script would go through the .msg files to be marked read and kept, and the .m?? files to be placed in the Outbox where you'd probably need to manually select them and issue a Send command (for UNIX boxes they could be sent with sendmail and placed in the Sent folder, nothing further needed). Any message not saved in PNR would be removed from the desktop folder (or maybe this is configurable for packrats?). Of course the second script would also remove the Ýfolder-name¨ for both outbound and saved messages. Generally you'd have two Perl scripts, tolx.pl and fromlx.pl, and a library for each supported desktop program, e.g. nn4-lib.pl. Also, while it would seem easy to keep a message in the folder it's already on in the desktop system, I wonder how you could use the palmtop to indicate a msg should be kept but moved to another desktop folder? I'd suggest filenames if this weren't DOS ;-) Maybe an LX macro would "Save" the email & then take you thru steps to record the info in the .msg after it was saved? Sounds tough to me. This could be an excellent app. Mobile workers could "sync" a couple times a day and do their email business in the elevator, taxi, train... Now that I've said that, I'd bet this shows up in a future version of Windows, Clunky Everwhere. ;-) Thinking out loud, -Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 10 Aug 1997 14:08:45 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Al Kind Subject: DialUp 3270 terminal MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Greetings, I asked this question on the other list, but I'm asking again in case anyone has made any progress: Has anyone had any success running a 3270 terminal emulation package on the HPLX?

In case you're interested, the 1 to 2 MB upgrade is $75 installed plus FedEx shipping. It's almost worth it for just the EMM driver, if you don't need the whopping 4 MB upgrade.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Greetings to the Mailing List, Here are some more thoughts on batteries. For AUS$2 one can purchase a basic credit-card-sized calculator that handles 8 digits and one memory using only a tiny strip of solar cells. These take up just over 2 square centimetres and are capable of operating the unit in a light that is barely enough to see in. Apart of course from the basic functions, this array of cells supports a display area of virtually the same size. The total area around the edge of the 100LX screen is effectively 46 sq cm., the screen area being only slightly more than this, at 54 sq cms. Obviously the functionality of the Palmtop is much greater than that of the tiny calculator described, but an array of solar cells around the screen of the former might be enough to support the screen display, since in any event the the lid has to be at the correct angle to capture enough light for viewing, otherwise the Palmtop cannot be used. Now suppose that attached to the lid of the Palmtop was a much thinner, lightweight lid of similar size with a hinge on the leading edge such that it could be lifted up in the opposite sense to the main lid at any required angle. If this could be covered with another array of cells, maybe there would be enough energy to run the main functions of the Palmtop (excluding cards and large amounts of RAM). Since thinking of this, I attempted to connect up my 100LX to a commercially available solar array-cum-battery charger (available from Dick Smith in Australia for about AUS$20). Unfortunately, despite trying various configurations and taking the main batteries out of the Palmtop, I could not obtain a screen display. The output of the solat charger fell from about 3 volts to half that value when connected and I was advised that the shop lighting was too low for my purposes. So back to the drawing board! Since more power is obviously required, what about a multiple fold-out array to be attached electrically and mechanically to either side of the Palmtop's lid hinge via a miniature wing-nut or knurled screw? The folded array would be the same dimensions as the lid, but two or three separate cell layers thick, with thin arms on each side parallel to the edge of the lid so that it would be opened out first by 180 degress until flat on the table. Then the other layer(s) could be unfolded 180 degrees to produce an array. Perhaps the unfolding angle could be varied to suit lighting conditions. Alternatively, the array could be detachable from the palmtop to maximise positioning for available light and a short connector used via the external jack as currently used for the adapter. There is nothing technically impossible in all of this - the question is whether it is feasible at a reasonable price and whether it would sell. Maybe it is something for Japanese innovation or Mack Baguette (are you reading this, Mack?). Anyway, if this is not good enough, there are still other possibilities for increasing the time-span between battery changes...to be continued, perhaps...unless I am boring everyone?

I happen to have a copy of the PCMCIA spec for Card and Socket Services drivers and the HP Internals book. Comparing the two, it seems that there shouldn't be much to creating this code. a C&SS driver pair must do the following: create a pool of free resources (DMA, Interrupt, IO, memory) allow drivers to "register" (ie. provide a callback address) provide notification of card insertion to all registered drivers parse Card Information Structure (CIS) data on the card (a pretty simple format that's also documented) remove resources from the pool when requested and put them back when requested The device specific driver is responsible for all else. There's a defined INT XX AH=YY interface for talking to C&SS (I forget, offhand), and since there's only one slot, the C&SS code doesn't have to worry about resource contention with other cards (only static stuff). I haven't looked in detail at Interrupt and DMA allocation, but IO and memory resource blocks are available as dedicated to the PCMCIA slot. The reason the standard drivers are not likely to support the HP is that no standard PC has bankswitching in the same way as the HP, plus they're all written assuming an Intel 365 compatible PCMCIA controller register set, which the HP definitely does NOT have. So there - a programming project for the brave at heart :-) I haven't got the time to beat my head against the wall for this one, but I DO have the time to offer support, advice, documentation, etc. for anyone willing to try. (I'm too busy with Win95 PnP PCMCIA drivers). rick > > Does anyone know where I could get Card and Socket Services drivers > > for the 200?

Probably neither he (nor I for that matter) realized that T2T offered a 1mb upgrade for $75 since we (and most others) went for the $199 4mb upgrade which is the only one Mack offers on his website (www.times2tech.com) and is the most cost-effective (if you can afford the added $125). - Longden ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 11 Aug 1997 09:31:07 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Robert A.

The C.O.P.S. case has a much better clip: shorter in length, stiffer, and it has NEVER come off my belt, whereas the Ripoffs case does several times a week. I tend to use the Ripoffs case, though, and simply put a wrap tie around the clip (location is obvious when you look at the clip) and have the best of all situations, as far as I'm concerned.

I tried the the messy solution (copying .mdbx files to my HP and using VR to read them. Wow! I was able to read a lot of mail that I had been neglecting and it was fun being able to do it while at lunch, waiting for the commute train, standing in line waiting to register my car, etc. I have a DOS software agent that helps me move the files to my HP. Currently the agent doesn't do much-- it just changes to the proper directory and starts the connectivity kit program and makes the connection to the LX200. That way I don't have to remember all the keystorkes needed. I plan to automate the process further. The DOS software agent program is EasyShare, which is really quite powerful. Easyshare lets you integrate applications that weren't originally intended to work together. You can "scap" data off one screen and plug it into another screen on another application. I used EasyShare to help me move 200 names and addresses from a flat file into the HP phone book. I tried converting the comma delimited file to the phone book, but the conversion wouldn't work and I got no error messages in the log file. So as a workaround, I just had Easyshare read the file and "type" the info into the phone book for me automatically.

In-Reply-To: <199708120400.OAA04813@student.uq.edu.au> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII There are a couple of problems hooking the Palmtop up to solar power. The first is that the power in jack requires 9.6 to 14 volts, therefoe you need a 12volt solar cell. Since about 100ma is required a 12 Volt 1 watt panel would be needed (about $A38. This is about 150*150 mm which is the same length but twice the width of the display. A regulator would also be required since the panel is quite cabable of putting out 18 volts unloaded which may cause the dc to dc converter inside the palmtop to go BANG! A simple Zener diode would do the trick though. This arrangement could be used with nicads for the palmtop user on the go. I've never tried this, prefering to plug my palmtop into my household 12 solar supply (150 Watts of solar) Hope this has helped, Peter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 12 Aug 1997 02:56:15 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Angelica Wilson Subject: Re: Digital photos I don't own a digital camera and so I can't comment ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 12 Aug 1997 02:56:32 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Angelica Wilson Subject: Re: Digital photos I don't have a digital camera so I can't comment whether or not this is a software problem but I do have a question. If you are using a standard hp serial cable are you also using a null modem adapter between the hp and DC25 cable. The default hp cable is wired as a null modem with the recieve and transmit wires swapped. You will need an addition null modem adapter to change the hp cable into a normal serial cable. The DC cable expects to be hook to a standard serial port and this may be your problem. Let me knew if this cures your problem.

As I said, I tried it quite a while ago and then only for a few days. I seem to recall some lockup problems in using hot-keys....but don't remember the details (nor the version number)...otherwise it looked and acted 3270'ish. I had been running tn3270 off my shell account at work as a work-around and went back to that since it required no new passwords, phone numbers, account numbers nor any disk space on the LX. Many of the 3270 special keys were only marginally functional under tn3270, but adequate for my needs (offsite timecard entry, mainframe email, mainframe batch job submittal and query....all occasional). - Longden ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 12 Aug 1997 10:01:16 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jorgen Wallgren Subject: Easier to make EXM programs!

I had no problems setting it up, tho I hear from others that the difficulty varies quite a bit by version (I use 1.08) and ISP (I use ATT WorldNet). I don't think it took me more than 30min to get it working. Probably took more time to figure out how to use it (well), since I had never used an off-line mail reader before and the menus and documentation sometimes leave you guessing. From the past comments, it seems POST/LX is at least an equally viable solution (that I haven't tried yet...guess I'm a sucker for pain ). Back to MS Exchange....the only problem with the automatic forwarding to my ISP is a slight time delay (usually about 15 min) and more importantly, the received mail on my ISP loses the original "From:" email address, cuz MSX forwarding makes all the forwarded mail come from ME (there doesn't seem to be a RESEND vs FORWARD feature in MSX). The original sender is denoted in the quoted area of the note tho. Lastly, I use a Megahertz XJ3144 (14.4k) modem with no special setups in NT. I haven't used any other modem, so I don't have anything else to compare it to. BTW, I also run NT on my 486 desktop at home (along with Eudora/Trumpet). With several teens in my family vying for online time, NT lets me read/reply to my email with the smallest window of connect time (when I don't feel like plugging in the LX)...also I like using something noone else will touch...maybe that's why we're all still using the LX . - Longden ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 12 Aug 1997 10:04:15 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jaime Viehweg Subject: modems and batteries Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Since I couldn't get what I wanted from the guys that made the "PhoneWorks ToGo!"

Put them and the modem in my HP200 and used the modem for 1 hour constantly. The battery meter (can you really call it that?) went down as far as 1/4 available without ever complaining that the main batteries were low.

If so, I have access to over 50 of these things still factory wrapped for a reasonable price (I can probably get them for ~$40 or so) and would be willing to send them off to folks.

How well does it work? Also, what type batteries does it use and about how many pictures per set/charge? Does it write the floppy in standard DOS format readable on any DOS machine? The idea of using a floppy for storage is very appealing, even if it only stores a few pictures per floppy they are so cheap and compact you could carry quite a few. I have a Ricoh RDC-2 which is nice and uses regular ATA flash ram cards for storage but they are still a little expensive and it is rather picky about the cards it works with. Pete Peter W.

What we need is a tutorial detailing exactly what format to use when using built in code on the palmtop. The SDK is helpful, but it contains no examples, so people who are trying to learn to program EXMs could become confused. A guide to the many different functions in ROM, including the BIOS calls, explaining how they are used and giving examples, would be a great asset to the palmtop community. I've done some programming using the built-in functions, but I think it would be much easier and more common with examples and details on the functions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 12 Aug 1997 15:05:33 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mark fraser Subject: (fwd) bobby14.zip - BOBBY v1.4: Full graphical file manager (fwd) Content-Type: text The author has expressed a willingness to offer us a version that is compatible with the HP100/200LX CGA screen - any interest? /mark ----- Forwarded message from Mark fraser ----- From mfraser@asterix.helix.net Tue Aug 12 15:00 PDT 1997 From: Mark fraser Date: Tue, 12 Aug 1997 15:00:12 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199708122200.PAA22320@obelix.helix.net> To: mfraser@helix.net Subject: (fwd) bobby14.zip - BOBBY v1.4: Full graphical file manager Newsgroups: comp.archives.msdos.d Content-Type: text Content-Length: 1537 Path: van1s03.cyberion.com!news.van.rns.net!news.rns.net!torn!newsfeed.direct.ca!news-sea-19.sprintlink.net!news-in-west.sprintlink.net!news.sprintlink.net!Sprint!209.69.19.20!simtel.net!not-for-mail From: ljaques@odyssey.on.ca (Jimmy and Jon Yergaw) Newsgroups: comp.archives.msdos.announce Subject: bobby14.zip - BOBBY v1.4: Full graphical file manager Keywords: simtel,msdos Summary: Reposted by Keith Petersen Message-ID: <9708110619.kp18942@Simtel.Net> Date: Mon, 11 Aug 1997 06:19:30 GMT Followup-To: comp.archives.msdos.d Sender: ms-news-request@simtel.net Organization: Simtel(tm), Simtel.Net(sm) Approved: w8sdz@Simtel.Net Lines: 25 I have uploaded to Simtel.Net: http://www.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/fileutil/bobby14.zip ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/fileutil/bobby14.zip 1088831 bytes bobby14.zip BOBBY v1.4: Full graphical file manager BOBBY is a graphicalized file managing DOS prompt replacer program that gives you the capabilities of all disk activities with special features like playing sounds, showing pictures, running your favorite programs all from a click of a specific pre-defined button that is either built into the program or from commands provided by you for a button.

In-Reply-To: <199708121955.MAA34966@garlic.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I've had a few people ask me about the type of digital camera I purchased... so I'm putting a mini-review of it here. If you're not interested, please skip this article. The Sony Mavica MVC-FD5 is one of two members in the new Mavica digital family. It's approximately 4.5" W x 4.5"H x 2" D. It weighs about the same as a good SLR camera. It is unique among other digital cameras in that it uses a 3.5" floppy disk for its recording medium. The camera has a 640x480 resolution, and can capture 24-bit color. Up to 40 "standard" quality images can be saved on a single floppy, or 20 "fine" images. The difference between the "standard" and fine images is the level of JPEG compression. The camera has its own built-in flash, and it uses a color LCD display for its viewfinder. The LCD also doubles as an information display and a way to look at the pictures you've taken. The camera also has a macro function that allows you to take shots as close as 8cm from the lens. The camera uses a Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery, one that's in common with their newer camcorders (or so I'm told). The advertised charge life is 2 hours, or 500 shots without flash. I assume that running the flash will considerably eat into battery time, however, having a rechargeable is much better than plugging in alkalines or those expensive one-use lithiums. Overall, I rather like it, although I've only taken about 25 snapshots with it. The quality is far improved over the Kodak DC25 I tried, and at $499 retail, it's not a bad purchase. The biggest flaws I can see are: Approximately 8 seconds between shots so the floppy can save the picture. No zoom. Somewhat bulky compared to the newer APS (film) cameras. However, I'm willing to live with those limitations... I plan on using this unit for web work... where it turns out a most pleasant picture. For those of you who crave zoom capabilities, the MVC-FD7 will be coming out in September which will include a 10X power zoom, and built-in special effects. For more info, hit Sony's web page at: http://www.sel.sony.com/SEL/consumer/mavica/ I'm not an employee of Sony, just a (so far) satisfied customer. I also hope I haven't ticked anyone off by putting this here... I know it's a palmtop list, but the response I got from people seemed to warrant it.

I have it and it's a big disappointment. I bought it and returned it, it can do some things, but crude. HP isn't going forward with anything to do with the 200 series. If you want "Pocket Quicken" you can get it from Intuit, called "Pocket Quicken Direct" for $29.95. Written for Win 3.1 but supports latest versions of Quicken. Mouse? No mouse support unless you install it for DOS. I get the feeling that HP is being really stupid with the 200LX, they have a great "base" of users, and are being led by the nose down the Microsoft path! But...What can I say, Microsoft IS THE FUTURE!? Thanks for that Billy! Remember where you came from and let a few of survive!

The baud-rate would be pretty low (max of 50 or 60 bits per second) But this would be convenient to transfer reference stuff; eg the phone number you looked up on the on-line phone-book; the journal reference, the catalog number of a book in the library etc. So, am I crazy?

Adisoft was purchased by EDP Auditing. But Jim Holton still sells EasyShare. You can reach him at 510-483-3556 or via email at jholton@ix.netcom.com I got EasyShare in 1990 (or 1991) for use in making PC FoxPro programs communicate with applications on mainframe computers. It worked great and solved our membership verification problem. Before it would take about 30 seconds to swap out to the mainframe program and come back to FoxPro. Using EasyShare the time was cut to 2 seconds! Not bad for searching through 3,000,000 customer records. I also used EasyShare to assist in sending credit card authorization requests to Wells Fargo Bank, convert Macinstosh data to PC DOS, and to access a "sister" company's membership files. The useful thing about EasyShare is that it lets small departments capture mainframe data without the need for a 9 month COBOL programming effort (which probably would never be approved.) You can also just use EasyShare to integrate DOS applications.

What I like about working in Prolog is that it's more fun than than regular programming. It's kind of like solving a logic puzzle. Example: Sam likes women who dance and are cute. Tasha is cute. Tasha dances. Sam likes Tasha. In prolog you would write something like this: likes("Sam","Tasha"). ÝProlog would respond "TRUE." You would also need to code a rule, like this: likes("Sam",Person) if is_a_woman(Person) and dances(Person) and is_cute(Person). ...and some facts like this: is_a_woman("Tasha"). dances("Tasha"). is_cute("Tasha"). Assuming you had facts about other women, you could also find out all the women that Sam likes, in a line or two of code. Something like this: likes("Sam",Whom), fail, !.

Thats a realy short answer and shows the problems: The pack can be installt in windows 3.1, which supports icons for a) backup, b) linking direktoris (a:->e, c:->f: The first free drives on the PC) and c) starting of the 200LX-PC-parts. I'm, using a) and b), which supports a Windows interface using the mouse for everything. Both parts work, only to backup the palmtop f: drive I had to edit a *.ini file. Part c: offers the palmtop-funktions as well as syncing files on a DOS-screen, so you get a palmtop an the PC (no 123 and Quicken) which has extra functionality for syncing files. I don't use it, its a pain to waste a fully equipped PC with a CGA- like screen. All functions can also be done with DOS batch-files, which is hard to find out, because its not documented. The most I liked the ability of the program to have a free choice of the com-Port and the interupts. (It helps finding the right settings). I use it on COM3 so I can have the cable pluged in besides a modem and a mouse. So using windows 3.1 and sometimes also only DOS the pack is usefull, but could be better. Some time ago I read a message of someone using it with Win95, but that was before transfile was out and it was realy tricky to install.

(like some data-holding watches do). Nice idea, but you would have to write software for the palmtop as well as for the desktop. I doubt it's possible to get something realy usefull done with such kind of communication. The other part is technical: The IR-port is designed to suppress any information which differ from the intended protokoll. This helps the port to eleminate background noise like that of the desktop screen. This filter is build in in the IR-receiver which in my oppinion will disable such an communication.

As I am curious I looked into it. It was Xined. Ok, I de-Xined it. It is a long ASCII file... I started to read it... Oh! It allows you to change the keyboard... well, not very useful for me... but wait! you can change the font too! I took out the manual and looked for some info. It explained what keybez does in a very summarized form. I could not tell from the manual if it only works for System Manager or also for DOS, so I tried it. And it works for DOS!! Well, the good news is that you can make your own .fon file, and make your Hp200 use it. So you can redefine all the character set. That is what I want. But, I must know the format of a Windows 2.0 font file. I have looked inside the .fon file the Hp has built in, and discovered how the character data is stored ( thanks hp48, you've been very helpful ), but I don't know what are several hundred bytes around the data. Can anyone help me? I've tried to find info about that 'Windows 2.0 font file' but with no luck.

It seems to work o.k. and allows for real touch typing on the 200LX instead of the thumb typing I've been used to for years. So it's somewhat of an improvement. But there are some downsides. I'll play with this thing some more and report the findings. Disclaimer, I still haven't= read the documentation from the SUPER site, but the driver does look like= another excellent Japanese contribution to the 200LX platform. The driver= takes up less than 5K on my C: drive. Positives: - real touch typing - plugs right into 200LX serial port, doesn't need extra batteries - light Negatives: - it's designed for Newton, not 200LX, so keys aren't labeled right and special keys aren't there. Takes some getting used to. - no escape key, uses the Ý~`¨ key as escape key. - no hot keys (you can still use the 200LX keypad for program switching)= - no function keys (but pressing the apple key and a number key gives th= e equivalent of function key) - No backspace key. (The delete key works like backspace key.) - expensive (relative to 200LX cost and other IBM style keyboards.) - needs to be used at a table (not good in my easy chair, which is one o= f the things I like about using the 200LX). Bottom line, if I had my druthers, I'd rather have a real standard IBM style keyboard. But that doesn't exist now, and this makes an adequate working subsitute in the time being until it proves out whether there is = a market for these things or not. I did notice my typing speed on the 200LX= improved considerably using it. David said he would carry these, but doesn't expect many orders. He can b= e reached at david@shier.com. I don't think he's thought of pricing since h= e doesn't have any of the keyboards in stock. (I brought a keyboard I found= in a store). The setup is not complicated, for David that is . Looks like a perfect job for a cable expert.

There are plenty of programs on the PC already to import to. Please make an expense portion of it too, all the tax type stuff. The PalmPilot has a great one built in, just don't like not having a keyboard to enter data with. My 2 cents worth.

Keep billing information in a Lotus 123 spreadsheet(s)? You can create records with time/date stamps by using simple macros. And, you can automatically create bills or time sheets directly from Lotus. As for job information, why not create a simple journal/log database using the Notes database. I do this now. I create a new file each calendar quarter and keep separate notes for each client. Each entry starts with a date/time stamp, created using a simple macro. What nice about this approach is you don't use up RAM with extra software. --- On Wed, 13 Aug 1997 14:17:03 -0500 Mayfield Harris wrote: >Does anyone know of a good program for the HP200LX that will keep track of >client information such as how long you've been on the job, amount charged >per hour, what's being done on client machine etc. ......... > >I would like to be able to depend on my palmtop when I'm on site to keep >track of these things when I'm out with a client...... > -----------------End of Original Message----------------- ______________________________________________ "Michael Stocker" 8/13/97 4:31:37 PM EDT ______________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 13 Aug 1997 14:42:02 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Carol Bernstein Subject: Re: Connectivity Pack - Question In-Reply-To: <199708130817.KAA16153@susy.sican.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Thanks for all your help.

It's a DOS based app that can run on an HP but needs about 300Kb to run, I suspect because it uses a dBase file system. I run it on my notebook PC rather than the HP as I wanted to. It is a bit 'clunky' to use initially, but I have it down pretty good now. The best feature I think is the auto-timer, which lets you start & stop recording of time against tasks (like a stopwatch). It's worth having a look at before you write your app. I print a report each week and enter it into our office time system. Improvements I would make to Timestax are... 0. Make it smaller so it is easier to run on an HP (removing the report writer should achieve this and by the sounds of it you'll have that in the PC component of your system). 1. Ability to copy an existing line (client/project/task) to a new day rather than re-enter same details again. 2. Store last report parameters for next time, or better still allow user to save different report definitions. 3. Only let auto-timer work on today's tasks! This has caught me out a couple of times logging time against previous days. 4. Display 'Today's Total Recorded Hours' on the main screen. I quite often do a simple report to determine how many hours I've logged in the day so far. Maybe also a timer since 8:30am (configurable) so user can see how many hours they should have logged! Depends on whether you want to ensure that all time is logged somewhere. If you want someone to comment on and/or beta test your software, let me know.

How about D&A Soft's TimeTracker/LX? This is the blurb from http://www.dasoft.com/TT/tt.html TimeTracker/LX - Time Tracking Software (TT/LX) There are many reasons why you may want to keep track of how you spend your time. Maybe you have to report it to your company, maybe you bill your clients by the time you spend on their behalf, maybe you just want to know where your time "disappears", or maybe you have yet another reason. TT/LX is a tool - optimized for the HP Palmtop computers and adapted to their special features - that lets you keep track of your time with a minimum of overhead. - Longden PS I am not a TT/LX user (satisfied or otherwise). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 13 Aug 1997 21:37:11 0 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List Comments: Authenticated sender is From: Antonio Menezes Subject: Re: (fwd) bobby14.zip - BOBBY v1.4: Full graphical file manager In-Reply-To: <199708122205.PAA22434@obelix.helix.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT I'm interested.

You'd = need an entirely new ASIC for a processor, peripheral, and display system that= would run under DOS. DOS is strictly Intel 80x86 - based, much like CP/M was = 8080- based.

But is it really RSN? It's a big project, and I'd guess only a handful of people are on it. But: the removeable ROM on the 300lx suggests an OS upgrade?

I am running my HP200LX 2meg, with a 10meg flash-ram card. I am also using a homemade serial cable (with help from the SIG) that interfaces to a KPC-3 TNC. This all ties to my Kenwood HT-79AD Ham Radio. I run APRS on it and am working on a HSP cable to also interface my Garmin GPS II. It all runs great with no glitches.

I don't (yet) own a TransPC, so what little I know if from Craig Payne's review and the Zip docs (from the web site). Craig Payne reported successfully transferring files to and from the Zip with the TransPC. Since the review was of the card and its software, details of the Zip software were scant. It isn't clear whether he used GUEST.EXE, much less where it was installed. It also isn't clear if the file copies from DOS. To which experience are you referring? Have you used the Zip with the Quatech? -Jim. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 15 Aug 1997 02:12:39 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Paul Medrek Subject: A Place to Buy for Less MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I must have missed the web address for this place.

Ho, Ho, I thought. However, I am glad to discover that it is just a normal part of your sig. By the way, surely a "zinger" closely resembles flame-bait, in that it seeks a similar response? Congratulations! :) I am of course joking. I still think it's offensive; OTOH, it's *extremely* silly to be offended by flame-bait... BUT - returning to topicality, however fleetingly: if someone went to the trouble of writing a version linux for the 3x0lx (which I think would be easier than writing one for the 200lx) you could install by just popping a ROM in (more or less)! And the 3x0lx is a much more powerful machine - it's just that it's strangled by its *wince* OS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 15 Aug 1997 08:14:52 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Dennis Faucher Subject: ReÝ2¨: A Place to Buy for Less - www.ebay.com Comments: To: HELMUT-GROSSINGER-at-om/HP-ColSprings_mimegw1////////HPMEXT1/HELMUT#095#GROSSINGER#a#HP-ColSprings-om1#f#om#f#hp#f#com@i3125om2.atl.hp.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; name="cc:Mail" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello, My apologies for not including the URL for AutionWeb.

If your card installs as F:, rather than A:, maybe you should try: "assign a:=f:" I would think you're getting the "not ready" msg cuz the "assign e:=a:" is trying to re-designate the A drive....but there isn't one. - Longden PS - You can also try the DOS SUBST command (found on full DOS 5-6.22 installs).

I work in a hospital and always carry it in the pocket of my white coat. After 4 years of continuous use and multiple fallen, my dear palmtop died. Recently, some months ago, I had to take a difficult decision: What palmtop would it substitute to my LX95? After analyzing carefully the option of the new ones with Windows CE, I took the decision of buying a LX200 with 4 Mb (of what I don't repent, only of not having had the 200LX before). My desire was that the programs of the PIM ran with my PC under Windows 95. For this purpose I bought the HP Palmtop Software Kit (Yellow Computing). This kit includes: the Transfile Win 200 (connectivity and backup software), a CD - ROM with multiple programs freeware or shareware, a connection cable and a version for Windows of the Phonebook and the Appointment book. HP has developed these last two programs and they run under a Windows 95 interface (not in a window of DOS as the programs of the Connectivity Pack). Regrettably the other programs of the PIM, like the database or the Note-taker, are not available in a Windows' version. If anybody knows about other applications of the PIM for the Windows environment, she/he could give it to know to this list. I think the HP 200LX could have a long and prosperous life if HP takes more support for it and its users. My ideal would be: 1) All the programs (including the calculator) of the PIM should be available, at least, in these platforms: DOS, Windows 3.1, 95 and NT, Mac. 2) This software should have a true synchronization function. Regrettably I am pessimistic in that respect. HP has abandoned the LX series and they think the Windows CE it is the future (and present). At least I hope that in 4-5 years, when I should possibly change my Palmtop, the Windows CE has evolved enough so that the transition is to improve and it does not to worsen. ====================================================== Miguel T.

It's much more difficult than the 6mb upgrade, involving soldering and cutting out of existing chips. Thus, you have to send in your palmtop to Times2Tech to get it done.

With it, you can run several copies of the System Manager or DOS applications at once, each with its own environment. It used to be used frequently for application switching on desktop machines, but nowadays, with Windows, nobody needs a DOS multitasker.

This is over 20 days of usage. I only use my serial port once a week for backups and I use the AC adapter at that time. This seems HIGH. I only use my LX for 5 minutes at a time. Is Buddy fairly accurate in recording usage hours under these conditions? When I was using a MP120, I had to change the batteries every ~10 hours, and that was using 4 batteries a hit. If my 200LX is really getting 40 hours, I can't imagine anything else on the market with this level of computing power coming close! ______________________________________________ "Michael Stocker" 8/16/97 1:13:07 PM EDT ______________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 16 Aug 1997 10:30:22 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: 200LX Battery Life MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit mdstockr wrote: > Currently, Buddy is reporting that I am getting >40 hours of battery life on my 4 MB > 200LX > w/2 MB Ram card, using 1 pair of AA Energizer batteries.

Assuming your speed hasn't been doubled, and you don't really do any high-power things such as use a modem, high-speed flash card, etc., that sounds about right. > When I was using a MP120, I had to change the batteries every ~10 hours, and that was > using > 4 batteries a hit. The MP120, of course, had a much higher-power-consuming processor...I would expect the 200LX to outlast it batterywise. > If my 200LX is really getting 40 hours, I can't imagine anything else on the market with > > this level of computing power coming close! Not really anything else that does come close. Of course, your battery time goes down if you double the speed, or use high-power cards, or do a lot of serial transfers. But, it's just the age-old tradeoff of battery life vs. performance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 16 Aug 1997 14:31:54 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: mdstockr Subject: Re: 200LX Battery Life Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=us-ascii I think that HP really missed a true opportunity with the 200LX.

Yeah, and if you copy config.sys and autoexec.bat to the A: drive, you can boot up from there, too. Unfortunately, you can't boot another version of DOS, because it always loads the pre-config.sys files from ROM. -- Visit David Sargeant's HP200LX pages at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 16 Aug 1997 12:31:52 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bob Aldrich Subject: Re: Software Carousel MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit So then, the next obvious question is: Why not use the HP's own task switching program?

It seems to do the same thing. Doesn't it? You mean the task switching that System Manager does? The difference between that and Software Carousel is, you can only have one DOS program open at once, and a DOS program consumes most of your memory, leaving little left over for the built-in apps. Software Carousel actually creates up to twelve other areas that each act like a separate palmtop. You press SHIFT-2, and switch to work area 2. You can run the System Manager again, and work on another database or phone book at the same time you have one open in area 1. You could run Derive, or Turbo C++, or any other DOS program that requires a lot of memory, and switch back and forth between them.-- Visit David Sargeant's HP200LX pages at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 16 Aug 1997 13:09:58 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Philip Seyer Subject: Re: A Place to Buy for Less In-Reply-To: <199708142148.RAA19132@pagesz.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Especially since it costs $575 for a new one at Frys Electronics with *no* extras!

Hopefully we'll have some prototype AA's soon. :) Speaking of batteries, on a side note, does anybody know when current battery size standards came into being?

I seem to remember some people saying theirs get dark while others (including me) have screens that get light during recharging. I think the discussion went that the heat generated from the recharging affects the circuitry for the display (that's in the same area). Most of us are able to compensate with On-(+) to darken, or On-(-) to lighten. If you can't adjust the contrast to be readable during recharge, then I agree that I would send it back to HP. Not being able to use it for 6 hours on a regular basis is NOT acceptable. - Longden ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 17 Aug 1997 13:59:20 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Carl Merkle <73564.2461@COMPUSERVE.COM> Subject: Software question MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 <> Intellilink was purchased by Puma and then became Intellisynch.

The charger seems to generate a little heat which causes the display to change. I don't think there is anything wrong with your machine. I ususally have to adjust the contrast during charging.

I have noticed an alternative. With third party software - I use BCC - it is possible to get the HP to charge at "trickle" much earlier. The lower heat generated charging at "trickle" does NOT affect the screen contrast. You have a usable machine during the recharge without having to fiddle with the screen contrast. Of course, this is at the expense of having a LONGER recharge. ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"

The WinCE machines don't use a 80x86 processor. Most of them use the SH3 processor by Hitachi. Since DOS is closely tied to the 80x86 architecture, a port to a new processor would really be a big headache, since all low level assembly routines would have to be rewritten. But even in case somebody is mad enough as to do this port, no program designed for DOS would work under this new DOS without recompiling (since the processor instructions are not the same). So, I guess it's not worth, since the main reason to get DOS working on a WinCE machine would be to use existing software. Regards.

I've used them for about a year. they used to have a lot of problems, but now I connect at 28.8 solid every time. Occasionally I get dropped off for no apparent reason. Teck support is OK, news goes down a little too frequently.. But yes, I do all my mail in pine. That way if I'm at work, at my parent's house in New York, at a conference in LA, or in the recovery room after my daughter was born, I have access to all my address books (i even wrote a perl program to convert my company's email list to a pine mailing list every time it is updated), saved mail, and newsgroups. Works great. Don't forget the web page and ftp access. Only things missing (if you're a unixhead like me) are emacs, perl, bash, and procmail. They have a few dozen CGI scripts you can use that should suit your needs. One way I've found to get around the no perl problem- awk is a programming language, too!. ------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer dskramer@concentric.net DK KD http://www.concentric.net/~dskramer DKK D DK KD Never attribute to malloc that which can be DDDD adequately explained by stupidity ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 17 Aug 1997 15:12:27 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bob Aldrich Subject: Re: using "agenda/diary" data MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit That sounds great..

You have to know you want a 200 and look for it specifically usually from mailorder houses because it is impossible to buy them from Office Depot, Staples, CompUSA, MicroCenter, etc. Sounds to me like they are making them for whoever specifically asks for them but they sure are not publicising their existence and are letting it die.

I was leaning toward the 200LX. I kept thinking: do I really want to buy an older, outdated machine? Finally, I gathered up my courage and bought the 200L, anyway. I'm glad I did. Now whenever I have a free moment I can pull it out and: - Program in Prolog (a 5th generation language) - Do musical ear training (to improve my ability to identify melodic intervals) composing and improvising ability) - Study Japanese -- I'm learning the Japanese writing systems: katakana and hiragana. - Turn my palmtop sideways and read novels, email, and other text documents in an easy-to-read, narrow column of text. - Learn to play IGO (a Japanese game similar to chess) - Develop software agents using EasyShare. - Learn and use the AWK programming language. The list goes on! I'm constantly finding new programs I can run on my 200LX. None of this would be possible with the 320 LX!

You can pick up a used 200LX/2meg for around $250 with some accessories. Everything you have on your 100 will work on the 200. You can transfer everything ove to a 200 blindly even if the screen is damaged. Done that too. Goos Luck.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Brandon - I sympathize, but just think how many Pilots you would have already destroyed! On the other hand the hp320 won't fit in your back pocket so it would last longer. In fact it'll be collecting dust on the shelf or it'll be tucked away in your briefcase. From all I read it's going to cost a lot to get it fixed, so you'll have to swallow hard AND BUY ANOTHER hp100 or 200lx. Perhaps you can get more memory - and go for a 200 instead of a 100! God moves in mysterious ways! Being more practical, the most cost-effective answer is a second-hand machine. comp.sys.palmtops is full of them (that's all you find there about the hp100/200lx - all the normal newsgroup traffic having moved to this mailing list!)

I also use the Web Browser part of this fine product to travel the Internet, write and update my web site. I travel a lot and changing access numbers for my ISP is very easy. There is a learning curve involved but it is an excellent product. I especially like the feature of reading and writing e-mail off-line. This means that every morning I press a button (pardon the lack of technical jargon) and come back later. My e-mail has been sent, received and phone line disconnected.

If there is no script already provided for your ISP in WWW/LX, you may need to write one. I want to compliment D&A customer support for helping me with this task.

I'm glad I had a chance to try one of these WinCE machines because it has strengthened my appreciation for my little HP100LX. The 320LX's screen had poor contrast and most of the processor's time seemed to be taken up by the GUI...the PocketWord application wasn't even able to keep up with my typing speed. Worst of all, the WinCE machines are not true pocket computers. They're just too big to comfortably slip into my pocket or equipment bag. Requiring a Win95 box to load software onto them is also a real limitation (my buddy has a 286 desktop and the 320LX). Having said that, I do wish my 100LX had a few of the 320LX's features: 1. Pen input (for quickly jotting down notes or diagrams). 2. Back-lit screen. 3. More than one PCMCIA slot (I know, I know, the 320LX only has one PCMCIA slot but it also has a Compact Flash slot as well). BTW, I used my LX's spreadsheet app to calculate lists of target times for an offroad rally I was in yesterday. We didn't place very well because I nearly flipped my Jeep over when I drove off the road and wasted valuable time winching back onto the trail BUT the LX made it much less stressful for determining how our timing was coming along. By the end of the day, everything, including the palmtop, was covered in dust. I vacuumed the LX last night and today it's back to its regular function as my phonebook, scheduler, and work-related information repository. Such a versatile piece of equipment! My brother, who was navigating for me, is already talking about building a serial input box from the speedometer's pulse counter so we can write a rally calculator which reads the vehicle's speed directly and can be calibrated for any tire size we happen to be running. ...lars (will probably wrap it in a zip-loc bag for the next rally) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 18 Aug 1997 14:50:35 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mikhail Epelbaum Subject: Re: Screen contrast depends on the battery status MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I would like to thank everyone who responded to my request.

WANT: best price on PCcards MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain DATABASES I would like to know if anyone has experience with large phone or appt databases on the 200lx Specifically, my database files are growing larger than 50k and I'm wondering if there's some kind of maximum size at which point the apps suffer severe speed degredation. On a related note... My databases have corrupted several times and I've corrected the problems with GARLIC for the most part, but some corruption appears to exist. On occasion I'll see random characters in an appt, or addrs. Is there some way I could perhaps export and then re-import the file to clean it up? x2 UPGRADE Has anyone had negative experience at all in upgrading the speed of their 200LX ?? I'm also questioning how worthwhile it is to upgrade the internal memory considering that I could probably get PC card memory much cheaper... PC card prices... So, where does a person find the best deals these days on PC cards??? Thank you!

While this might get your batteries recharged without all the heat, this will probably shorten the ni-cad battery life. Starting a recharge before fully discharging the ni-cads will cause the capacity to drop (memory effect). Not as convenient, but a better way would be to have an external charger and do it outside the hp. Personally, I have been using alkalines so it's just an observation from the boatload of other stuff I have that use ni-cads.

That might be portable enough That's true. But there are *always* some system-dependent routines that have to be rewritten. Not an easy task. And for that, we would need to have access to a quite complete documentation about each WinCE internals. I guess it'll not be for free or even for a reasonable price.

I don't like DOS, but I know it very well, that, and the fact of being able to run existing programs as they are, are the two only advantages of DOS actually IMO. Porting linux to (for example) the 320 would be a wonderfull job (provided the full information I mentioned before). But let's be realistic. The people like us that would enjoy that, are just a drop in an ocean. Handheld devices are mainly used by people that use it for organizing, but never ever think about programming for it. Regards.

Helmut in Colorado ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Ramblings Author: Non-HP-lars (lars@GLOBALSERVE.NET) at HP-ColSprings,mimegw1 Date: 8/18/97 12:51 PM I tried out a friend's newly-purchased 320LX last week. I'm glad I had a chance to try one of these WinCE machines because it has strengthened my appreciation for my little HP100LX. The 320LX's screen had poor contrast and most of the processor's time seemed to be taken up by the GUI...the PocketWord application wasn't even able to keep up with my typing speed. Worst of all, the WinCE machines are not true pocket computers. They're just too big to comfortably slip into my pocket or equipment bag. Requiring a Win95 box to load software onto them is also a real limitation (my buddy has a 286 desktop and the 320LX). Having said that, I do wish my 100LX had a few of the 320LX's features: 1. Pen input (for quickly jotting down notes or diagrams). 2. Back-lit screen. 3. More than one PCMCIA slot (I know, I know, the 320LX only has one PCMCIA slot but it also has a Compact Flash slot as well). BTW, I used my LX's spreadsheet app to calculate lists of target times for an offroad rally I was in yesterday. We didn't place very well because I nearly flipped my Jeep over when I drove off the road and wasted valuable time winching back onto the trail BUT the LX made it much less stressful for determining how our timing was coming along. By the end of the day, everything, including the palmtop, was covered in dust. I vacuumed the LX last night and today it's back to its regular function as my phonebook, scheduler, and work-related information repository. Such a versatile piece of equipment! My brother, who was navigating for me, is already talking about building a serial input box from the speedometer's pulse counter so we can write a rally calculator which reads the vehicle's speed directly and can be calibrated for any tire size we happen to be running. ...lars (will probably wrap it in a zip-loc bag for the next rally) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 18 Aug 1997 13:17:42 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Karl DeLyria Subject: Re: Ramblings In-Reply-To: <3.0.3.32.19970818125926.007bc710@pop3.sj.bigger.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" The Arisona packet radio group is selling garmin GPS units for $99.

Speed is at least twice as fast in some applications. I have a couple of database files over 50k (1 over 600k) and processing time does slow down a bit but it's still tolerable. It still searches quicker than it takes Win95 to boot up on my desktop. The speed upgrade really helps. I can highly recommend Times2Tech. They did exactly what they said they would do.

If you select a phone entry and press a Fn+ , LX-DIAL comes up. Then you can press H to dial the home phone, B for business etc. When it "dials" it sounds the tone needed to dial the number--so you have to hold the LX up to the phone.

Simple things like copying files, setting read-write access, overwriting protected files. It drives me nuts in Windows. With DOS I can set up a simple batch program and run it with a single click. Just because you can easily do something manually in Windows, doesn't mean you should have to do it over and over again if it is a routine task. And external DOS programs are relatively easy to create; they are easily transportable--they aren't fat monsters that require a lot of baggage: dlls, ini files, resource files, pbd files, bmp files, and you name it.

Sources: D&A Software: 818 341-1188 Educalc: 800 385-9376 Shier Systemms: 805 371-9391 Cost $109.00 The hardest part "might be" the settings for your own ISP (Internet Service Provider). If there is no script already provided for your ISP in WWW/LX, you may need to write one. I want to compliment D&A customer support for helping me with this task. In conclusion: I highly recommend WWW/LX with Post/LX. I use it for ALL my e-mail and Newsgroup activity. I am sending this note with my HP200LX.

However, if you run a PCMCIA modem as well as a flash card, have any database file stored on the flash card & take out the card to use the modem while the database is open, it is more than likely that the file will become corrupted. This was my experience the one time I did it. Since then I have stored my important database files (appt.adb, notes.ndb & phone.pdb) in the C:\_DAT directory so that the auto-save feature will always work in the database files.

This was my experience the one time I did I keep all my .*db files on the flash card and use a PCMCIA modem daily, but I almost always close all apps before making the card switch. I use a macro to do the close ({More}{Menu}{Enter}L{More}), and I rarely get any corruptions anymore. - Longden ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 19 Aug 1997 08:19:25 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Sean Hoger Subject: Re: Tone mode MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="---- =_NextPart_000_01BCAC78.9CE2E620" ------ =_NextPart_000_01BCAC78.9CE2E620 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I played with LX-DIAL about 8 to 10 months ago on a 200LX 1MB, and it worked fine.

That combination worked fine for me with the 300LX, but I had problems getting WWW/LX to work properly. I was able to connect to my ISP and receive my IP address, but that's as far as it went. I still don't know why that didn't work. I now have the newer compact Ricochet modem that I'd love to get working with the 200LX as I'm returning the 300LX. If anyone has a lead on the custom cables I'd love to hear about it. I'll bet that Redmond Cable would build them for us.

Thanks to all respondents. Seems several of you use Turbo C (which is largely unavailable unless I get lucky at the swap meet), and some have proposed PCC which I've now tried on a sample class problem and it appears that PCC is not ANSI compliant. Some others mentioned Power C from Mix Software (a $20 compiler)...but didn't venture any opinion on it....does anyone use this or have any comments on it? - Longden PS - Vivek is right...a survey of C compilers that work on the LX would be a good thing to see.

I would suggest Turbo C 2.0. It's quite small once installed, and very fast compiling, but no C++ (I guess you don't need it). I own more recent and better compilers (like Borland C++ 3.1 or Watcom C/C++ 10.5), but STILL use Turbo C 2.0 for compiling most of the simple projects I program on my desktop, mainly because -I insist- it's fast as light when compiling. And, as far as I know, It's full ANSI C compliant and the code quality is very good. Regards. Nacho. P.S: I hope it's still being sold. Otherwise it's gonna be quite difficult to get.

I saved the web page some weeks ago and only got round to reviewing it today so I can't remember the URL but I think it's on Murray Barton's site. Pete's address is listed as 71533.2001@Compuserve.com. I tried his recipe today and I'm pleased to report that it works quite well on my Win95 system so far. It completely replaces TransFile200 for me which was quite slow (@57600 on my machine) and sometimes unreliable (though not as bad as WinFiler). For some reason TF200 worked flawlessly on my Satellite notebook but not reliably at all on my existing Win95 desktop!? With this method of connecting (Laplink from Cpack200 is required) all my palmtop drives and their contents appear in the Windows Explorer (including F:) and I am free to drag, drop and do many other useful chores. Connecting and mapping the drives is as easy as plugging in the serial cable and starting LapLink on the 200 - that's it! F8 disconnects you. It can even be used with networked machines according to the notes. I opened a zipped archive which resided on my desktop using WinZip32 and extracted just one document from it directly to the appropriate dir on my palmtop's stacked C: drive! Try doing that with TF200 :-) For those contemplating buying a 200LX and wondering about file transfers and connectivity vs the 'ease' of using a 320LX with a Win95 desktop (or even considering if to get the Cpack) this could be something worth exploring before you make your decision...

For example, when I invoice someone, it automatically creates a to-do for a month later, and for another month later, for that contact: "Did he pay?" A click and a nasty reminder letter is generated. Tons of different features. Of course, there is lots of software that can do these things, but the two Acts allow you to be in control of all of this on a little HP - and with no extra software and no employees to bother with!

There was an article in a recent QST (ham radio magazine) about using the 95LX as a controller for an Icom HF radio. The author stated that the 95LX was not readily available any more, but used ones could be found for about $150. You might try your luck on the ham radio USENET group: rec.radio.swap and see if you can drum up some interest.

Unfortunately VGA is far beyond the capability of the 200= . There isn't enough video memory, for starters, and the hardware is comple= tely (well, mostly) incompatible. I know CGA is a limiting factor for softwar= e, but gee whiz, a 256K gate array and a multisync 640x480 LCD is really beyond the practical limits of a palmtop. The only software video emulator I know of is SimCGA, which runs on Hercu= les cards. Unfortunately that won't help us much. I have several 1000+ page programmers books which may be of some help, = I'll look through them tonight. But it seems quite impossible at this point. Ian Butler Advanced Software Systems, Inc.

Anyway any idear is welcome... No. Wince is written for wince palmtops, which use custom processors and subsystems etc etc. Plus you'd need a wince ROM, you can't get the OS on disk or anything. Besides, if the 200LX running at 8 mhz can outrun a wince palmtop at 40 mhz, what's the point? It would run so ungodly slow if you emulated it that you'd have no doubt about which company made it.

Unfortunately these manipulations were part of the charger you would buy for the car's battery packs (5 to 8 sub-C batteries). These chargers can recharge packs in 15 minutes or 'trickle charge' them over 14 hours. The difference comes in the mAmps used for the re-charge. I suspect that if someone really is having trouble with an excessively fast drain that fully discharging the NiCd's (say in a flashlight overnight) and charging them with a charger which (unlike most now) purports to charge over a period longer than 4 hours (say 8-14) would be the way to 'reclaim' the batteries. In this same vein, I don't plug in my adapter (12v, 500mA, Radio Shack #273-1652C, $9.99, 1.5"W x 2.5"H x 1.5"D) until I get a low battery signal, thus reducing memory effects. Ciao.

In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Hello folks. I have a new job in Florida (long way from Michigan!) teaching strings at a private school. I have a need to count the number of lessons that are given during the year (I am contracted to give a fixed number), and I wonder if there is a way to do it automatically with the built in database, without having to remember the correct number in the sequence at any given time. Also I need to automatically stamp the time and date on the same record, plus fields for other information. I do believe that such a thing might be possible with Lotus, but it's been too long since I used it, plus I need to put in a lot of text data, plus I don't know whether it would work better to make each student one record, or each lesson one separate record (this was my original idea, since I need to produce reports based on several factors). My confusion also lies in the fact that I need reports on how all the students are doing at any given time, and how one student is doing from the begining of the year up to now. I have an idea on how to do some of this on the built-in database, but I am affraid it might not be powerful enough for the job. But I am not a Lotus head either. Any help with this difficult task will be appreciated!

May be we would need a function to change colors like cgahlp > but whcih can change colors even when the prog is loaded (like we can > change contrast with on+ or on- or on/). the problem is that most DOS software writes directly to the standard VGA registers and video memory locations. The HP DOES support the VGA register set as far as required for CGA compatibility, which is almost all the way. Unfortunately, the HP design uses the memory where a standard VGA display memory bank would go as system ROM space, and they claim this is non-programmable. The meaning is that a DOS application that tried to work with a VGA controller would instead be writing to the HP ROM. On the newer Intel processors, this wouldn't be a problem, because we could trap illegal writes and reroute them to where the frame buffer actually is. However, the 186 does not have this capability, so we would have no way of knowing when your DOS VGA app actually tried to write to the screen. And if we don't know when it writes, we can't take the data it was trying to write and massage it. So, the short explanation is... not possible given hardware constraints. As you might be aware, EZShow manufactures a PCMCIA VGA card and I'm currently working with some people in the HP200 community to get a driver going. But, because of the limitations above, I don't think it will be possible to take any old DOS program and use it with my card. Instead, custom apps will have to be written to take advantage of the card's capabilities. In those rare instances where the DOS software used the BIOS (or its own pluggable interface) to talk to the display, something can be done. However, in keeping with the tradition started by Lotus, practically everybody writes direct. rick ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 20 Aug 1997 09:01:10 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Rick Kozak Subject: Re: Win CE on dos based palmtop MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > > Would it be possible to run win CE software on the 200lx. > I think it would be necessary to have a emulator or something like that > but i'm not sure it's possible.

There is some great software out there which can run perfectly well on the palmtop but for the display mode. I have been looking around for utilities that would do the trick, but as yet I haven't found a thing. As for changing contrast on the palmtop, someone suggested that you can switch off grey shade and turn to black/white mode to make using software that presupposes a colour screen easier on the eye. In fact I would like to have a b/w screen when surfing the web in Lynx. But the way to do this (on / +) doesn't seem to work for me. Has anyone a suggestion?

Mix's current webpage (http://wwwmixsoftware.com/product/powerc.htm) describes the compiler as: -----------> Power C is an ANSI compatible C compiler for DOS that requires very few resources. It can be installed in less than 1 Meg of disk space and will run on any PC that runs DOS 2.0 or later. It is compatible with CPUs from the 8088 through the latest Pentiums. Power C combines high-performance software with superb documentation, all for less than the price of most C books alone. It's your fast route to fast programs without the fast bucks. <----------- It sells for $19.95 and some posters have commented on their excellent documentation. Very tempting, tho I have access to Turbo C++ 1.0 (from a disk included in my son's C programming book) and possibly Turbo C 2.0. Thanks again for all the excellent feedback (from everyone).

What are your needs? Do any of the existing palmtops suit your needs today? Many long time palmtop PC users are disappointed by the lack of capabilities in the first generation of WinC= E machines that exist in the 200LX. While they are open minded that WinCE devices MAY develop into a useful platform IN THE FUTURE, they are not willing to spend their money today for an immature product. Others are early adopters and are willing to go through the pains because the produc= t fits their needs today and do some things better than the 200LX. The Velo and the 320LX are the top-of-the-line WinCE machines today. The Velo has some interesting features and major limitations (i.e. doesn't print, smaller screen, modem limited to what's built in, proprietary memo= ry cards). Some people have expressed a preferrence for the Velo over the 320LX which has a bigger screen, can print and has two card slots (i.e. o= ne for modem and one for memory). Bottom line, if the existing software on the WinCE machines accomplish yo= ur needs today then go ahead. We'd even be willing to sell you one . But= if it doesn't meet your needs maybe you should wait, or explore other one= s such as the 200LX, the Toshiba Libretto or the IBM Thinkpad 110. If you have more questions, or if I can help you sort through your needs feel fr= ee to give me a call at 714-559-1142.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I had loaded diet 1.44 a while back, and installed the TSR with diet -z. Since then, I had to wait several seconds for the Application Manager Ý&...¨ to start, and then several seconds after each operation within the App Manager. This was anoying. (But not anoying enough to email about) Then today, I decided it was time to install closeflr. I did so, and it worked great. In the documentation, it talks as if removing the c:\_dat\appmgr.dat file is no big deal. Well now(after using closeflr), the app manager is not only slow, but beeped several times after I started it up. This was just too anoying for me to bear, so I decided to try moving c:\_dat\appmgr.dat out of the way. I closed the App Manager and moved c:\_dat\appmgr.dat to a:\appmgr2.dat with filemgr. I then started up App Manager, and whaala!, NO BEEPS, NO DELAYS. This is great! I still can run diet -z, etc. I also used memo to look at the a:\appmgr2.dat and found that I could see all of the paths of everything I had in there. I now can go back and reconfigure the App Manager back to the way I had everything layed out before. So, to summ it all up, it looks as if you have problems with the App Manager, just close App Manager and move your c:\_dat\appmgr.dat to some other name. Then go back and reconstruct it. Has anybody else seen similar situations?

Regarding your database question: Using the LX built-in database is very versitile and I think a wise choice for your application based on your description. Suggestion: Create a field for the date of your lesson. This way you will be able to sort your lesson list by date. Also, by having a date field, you can have a "subset" (press F6) that will only show records that have an entry in that field. This will allow you to periodically check to see how many "lessons" you have in your database. You do this by pressing F6 to call up a subset that you define and looking at the bottom of the Datacard (HP100LX doesn't have a Datacard). At the bottom of the Datacard you will see a number like: 4/88 indicating that you are looking at record 4 of 88 records in that subset. The possiblities are virtually endless. Experiment. Have fun.

My opinion: 200LX. The reason is is that there are thousands of software titles for a DOS 5 machine, whereas there are next to none for Wince. Winces are more expensive and doesn't get the gas mileage (6 weeks) of the 200lx. Wince machines generally have worse displays than the 200, although they do have back- lighting. The 200 has a large, _knowledgable_ user group where- as the Wince usergroup (with a few exceptions) have to take their thumb out of their mouth to use the touch screen. ;) Also, the 200 uses a static operating system. The 200 uses DOS 5 which is far more stable than Wince. 5 a flawless OS, the only one I know of that was made by Microsoft. So buying the $700 Wincetop looks appealing until you find yourself spending $100 every 2-3 months because, as Jorgen said, your version won't support high fiber bread.

I use Pocket Quicken with Pocket Quicken Connect (dumped on WinCE), and most of the other 1 touch keys (not on WinCE units). I have a few goodies installed like a ThinFax w/4 meg, I don't browse the Internet, Newsgroups, or anything else that requires graphics speed. I used to travel, I had a notebook for that. If I had to do that again, I'd get a PC110 or a Libretto. I think there is great use for the LX200 without doing anything fancy.

If you require the features, but diecreet portability, then the HP version will be helpful, but need some getting use to. I have decided that I will use it on my HP as its full potential is not truly tapped as yet. It can for one, reduce the appointment book/to do list to things not related to your contacts as all these tasks are already in ACT! There are some limitations that seem to have no reason...the screen for one! All you see is a screen that fits between the F3 and the F8 marks when running on the HP. Because of this you have to scroll through 6 screens for 1 contact info. Sorry I could not provide you with more pros and cons. Maybe when I discover any other snag or benefit I'll post to the list.

If so a program could be written to archive the completed tasks directly. 2) Related question. Does anyone know if a memory resident program can run concurrently with the built-in apps?

That alone is reason enough to give strong consideration to a 200 LX. Examples: Project Management Contact Management Musical Ear Training Japanese Language Instruction (writing as well as conversation) Vertical browsing, book marking of big etext files (electronic text). Use of a Newton full-size keyboard if you want it. The AWK Programming Language Agent Software for automating operations. (EasyShare) TurboC from Borland (you can learn to program or actually develop programs on the 200 LX. (That's out of the question for WINCe machines) PDC Prolog (a 5th generation language) for artificial intelligence programming. Built-in Lotus 1-2-3 (that excels Excel on the WINCE machines in power) Built-in Quicken A program to dial phone numbers. A program search across memos, appointments, to do lists. Ability to interface with other devices, like electronic scales. Owning a 200 LX give you access to a group of knowledgeable programmers who will often develop small utilities to customize the 200LX to your needs and desires. Example: one 200LX user says he wants to have completed to-do items archived in a separate database. The built-in application does not do that. But soon, because he posted the idea, some developer will come up with a utility to do that--if it hasn't already been done.

When you activate an agent you give a command like: ES2 movetodo.def This tells EasyShare (version 2) to load the agent defintion file called "movetodo.def" into memory. Easyshare now sits in memory and watches the time, the screen and what is entered from the keyboard. When some predefined event occurs, the agent will spring into action and start issuing keystrokes (or reading/writing text files). You can activate the agent with a hotkey or when a certain time is reached, or when a certain string appears on a text screen. An EasyShare agent can also be fired from another DOS program or batch file. EasyShare can also help to control mainframe programs when used with programs like Attachmate's EXTRA for DOS. >--- >Dave Hart (hartd@poboxes.com) >Beavercreek (Dayton), OH USA >"Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. >Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." - G.

For the moment, I always have to chuckle when I see catalog ads with Windows CE units that state "It's Windows 95 compatible!" in big letters.

Yes, but the purpose of a handheld PC is (presumably) to use it. To assist you in getting things done more effectively. To help you spend less time doing things. With jewelry, you know you're just buying something that looks nice. People expect to be able to _use_ a handheld PC, and it has to be able to do _useful_ things. Which, for the majority of serious palmtoppers, the WinCE units don't. Plus, a piece of jewelry will retain its value, and eventually become a rare antique worth much more than you paid for it. A WinCE machine will drop in value until you'll be able to find them at garage sales for five dollars. Think about it: A handheld calculator purchased in the 1960's ran hundreds of dollars. Today they're thrown away as worthless, outdated relics. If you can't use them, they're really only a few dollars worth of plastic, silicon, metal and glass. Whereas an ounce of gold purchased in the 1960s has retained its value quite well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 21 Aug 1997 21:07:00 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Herrmann Frank Dr. (DN=HF27687B092B9B, MSMAIL, DE_MCH_B00BE, SCN)" Subject: AW: Re: AW: Re: Palmtop advise- the future?

It has a lot of the LX 200 features missed in previous versions of Psion, while at same time, it brings long awaited improvements of the screen (large, backlit and pen sensitive), keyboard (real touch tipe, notebook stile), speed (32 bit apps and a strong CPU though only clocked at 18 MHz), OS (looks more like upgrade LX 200 than Psion 3/3a)etc. One has not to be scared by the lack of Internet access (as WinCE's) as Psion 3/3a already have such a package and the 5 doesn't have it only - YET....(a matter of time). Also the idea of having the PCMCIA modem in a separate adaptor, sounding at first so to say...not so smart, is very very smart when you can use a 33,6 PCMCIA modem for 1 - 2 Hrs with the 4 AAs of the adaptor. Another part to carry...., not exactly, as with the LX 200/ 300 you may have the PCMCIA modem inside, but you need to connect it to the wall outlet with an AC adaptor . At the end, the Psion solution, while different, is at least not worse ! Adding to it a US Robotics/Megaherz X-plug modem with no need for carrying a line cable, and the Psion outsmarts the "all inside" architecture. I know..I know..we are all LX users, but well..well..at least Psion 5 deserves a serious second look if HP continues to patronize us with stupid toys...

Someone > with experience of a Psion5 that would like to share their general > thoughts? First off, this is a mailing list for HP palmtops. You'd have better luck looking in the Psion-related newsgroups (comp.sys.psion.*) or the Psion web sites at http://www.psioninc.com (US sales, in Concord MA) and http://www.psion.com/ (UK headquarters). Before buying a 200LX, I considered and rejected the earlier Psion models. When I spotted the Psion 5 in the store the other day, I played with it for a few minutes. They have a nice set of built-in applications. The pen is especially nice for drawing. The larger, sliding keyboard is very usable. They have dedicated "touch points" for the applications, analogous to the 200LX's blue keys. Unfortunately, as with the Series 3's, they insist on an optional *external* PC Card slot (connected by a cable). Dial-up communications involves some sort of dangling external gadget (the other option is an external modem). The OS (EPOC) is proprietary, so 3rd-party applications are limited. They supply a built-in BASIC-like programming language called OPL. Otherwise, programming is meant to be done in C++ from a desktop system, using a kit about which they offer little detail, Visual C++ to build for testing in emulation and Gnu C++ to cross compile for final installation. Details can be found at: http://www.software.psion.com/EPOCWorld/services/techinfo/ On the other hand, our resident Java maven says that it is/will be Java-capable (Write Once, Crash Many ;-). He got that info from the PC Magazine review of the Psion Series 5 at: http://www8.zdnet.com/pcmag/issues/1615/pcmg0050.htm Having done the PC Card Shuffle, one major problem I see is that few PC Cards devices will work with the Psion. PC Card devices ship with x86 support software, requiring Card & Socket Services 2.1. The Psion (and the WinCE units, by the way) have RISC processors, and are limited to whatever drivers are built in to the OS (flash and modem, typically). Psion refers to their external PC Card slot as "PC Card Modem Adaptor", so at least they're up front about the limitation. If you anticipate adding a printer port, SCSI adapter, data acq., etc., you're probably out of luck. -Jim. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 21 Aug 1997 17:35:44 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Al Kind Subject: HPLX-L: FWD from TSWI.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable From David N Sargeant Subject Re: WTB: 200LX 2Mb Date Fri, 15 Aug 97 19:40:54 +0000 predrag wrote: > I am looking for HP 200LX, 2MB.

Not that MS didn't improve and expand on the original. Also, to be honest, MS did try to steer IBM to Digital Research so they could make a dos for them but DR didn't want anything to do with it so IBM came back to MS and said if you can do it the deal is yours. So Gates being good at buying things found QDOS, bought the company and the rest, as they say, is history. Pete Peter W.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Not quite true. IBM went to Gates, who was developing CP/M software for them, and asked him to develop an OS. Gates, not having any readily available OS or the resources to develop one, SENT the IBM VP's to Digital Research office telling them that there they could find a ready made 8086 OS, which IBM to proceeded to contact. Digital Research' owner and chief creator of the OS in question (Gary Killdal) went out of town and left the discussion with the IBM exec's to his wife. The IBM VP's first duty was to ask her to sign a standard non-disclosure form (essentially said that Digital Research would never divulge that IBM was there or what they were there for). She brought her company attorney in and IBM had to bring in their attorneys to explain it etc., etc. IBM finally got tired of it and said the hell with Digital Research. They went back to Gates and it was then that he bought the rights of another operating system, not from Killdal and Digital Research but from another programmer (a Seattle hardware hacker, Tim Patterson, who had tired of waiting for an OS from, you guessed it, Digital Research) so he wrote his own, essentially modeling it after what Killdal was developing.

For example if you have a file like this: Ý Name Hourly Rate Hours Worked Dept.¨ Tom Mix 10.55 35 A200 George Burns 200 89 A300 Bob Jones 30 45 A200 ... you can produce reports that show things like Employees working more than 40 hours. Amount due each employee. List of employees in Dept A200 Average Hourly rate. You can print out all lines that contain certain words, etc. etc., etc. ÝAWK is a weird name. I think it comes from the author's names: Aho, Weinberger, and Kernighan.¨ You don't have to compile the code! Just write a short program with a text editor and the AWK engine will process it for you! If you could export an HP database to a text file (which I think you can) you could write some interesting reports using AWK.

It's called Banana Comm Lean. It's got automatic Z modem downloading, and is very lean and mean and best of all it's much, much, much quicker than the built in DataComm program. It is shareware but the author has conveyed to me that if he can get 10 people to register the Lean version he will join our list and try to make whatever changes he can to really optimize it for the LX palmtops. It's available on the SUPER site. I'm sure that there are other people such as myself that use their HP's to access UNIX shell accounts and BBS's such as I do. Anyway, I just thought I'd pass this along to the list. I'm receiving no financial gain just the ability to access the Net much more quickly! Personally, I find the program a little too underpowered as compared to {COMMO} (v7.0 which is optimised for the HP palmtop but needs an APLOAD program from Compuserve. Can anyone pass me that?) and Qmodem. These two have proper scrollback, X/Y/Zmodem protocols, good phonebooks and other little niceties here and there. Bananacom is more for the simple user kind. So, I think, for the lite user, BananaCom is OK. For people who want more configurability (at the expense of disk space) Qmodem (which I use) and {COMMO} (Which I ALSO use for a BBS on my palmtop, nice little novelty I use to SHOW OFF to them "wince-ing" users.) ...

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=us-ascii I have to agree with Rob. Tim Paterson wrote QDOS (Quick & Dirty Operating System) in 1980-81, which Microsoft purchased from Seattle Computer for $50,000. Seattle Computer called it 86-DOS, Microsoft renamed it MS-DOS and IBM named it PC-DOS. However,Digital Research did not loose the deal because Kildall missed the meeting. They lost the deal because CP/M-86 was late and IBM needed an OS for their to be announced PC. Therefore they turned to Gates and he purchased 86-DOS from Seattle Computer. CP/M-86 was offered as an OS for the original PC by IBM (Kildall had threatened IBM with litigation because of 86-DOS's similarities to CP/M). A third OS was also offered, Softech's p-system. However, IBM backed PC-DOS. All of the programming languages (Microsoft products) and application software offered by IBM for the PC would only run under PC-DOS. You might want to note the Intel endorsed CP/M-86 at the time. --- On Fri, 22 Aug 1997 09:30:40 -0400 "BOYD S. MINER" wrote: >I'M NOT SHOUTING.

They are simply different products focusing on different market subsegments: I just wanted to mention my experience for those who are considering switching from 200LX to 320LX (or other CEs.) I work as a marketing manager (previously a management consultant for a US firm) and use 1) Lotus, 2) some math functions (and solvers etc), and so want 3) 10 keys and need 4) the data com function of 200LX. My only problem was that there was not any good tcp/ip based mailer available for 200LX. There were some critical posts about D&A Softwares' marketing the other day, but I knew that they had been working on it before POST/LX eventually came out in the market. I was that much interested in obtaining a good mailer for 200LX. POST/LX is just super. The best software I ever had for the machine. I think that HP should replace the built in ccMAIL with POST/LX. (and they may call it 'post'/320:-) During my recent trips to Europe, POST/LX was extremely valuable. I didn't have any problem in hooking up to my ISP in Tokyo (I'm Japanese living in Tokyo) using local CompuServe's APs. Anyway, if anyone (perhaps business people)is thinking that 320LX might improve mailing tasks, try POST/LX first with your 200LX. I personally think that the larger keyboard of 320LX is not so easy to use as it looks. But before that 320LX is 1) too heavy 2) too big (it should have a color display, if not a joy stick, with that sort of size and weight) 3) have to take out a pen to execute a command , then wait for a while until a program is loaded - this basic approach (its interface and pen based system) is simply not appropriate to mobile computing. That's, to me, the funniest and dummiest part of WinCE. 4) pcAnywhere and all other *nice to have* sort of software? ... I simply don't need them while on the go. 5) sending a hand written fax to someone quickly? I'm just polite enough to type up and fax using a ThinFax (that's the card I always have with my 200LX.) In short, I need 200LX' Lotus, math functions, *10 keys*, nice touch and feel keyboard... right balance of its functions and size/weight - that's why I don't carry 320LX - and I prefer to use PCMCIA cards rather than custom made machine specific devices - that's why I don't use PSION or PalmPilot. The latter is becoming very popular here (and I hear that in the US also) To me, this basically means that most people only need rather basic PIM functions, and if that's the case the current CEs will never beat PalmPilot with their builtin PIMs, since PalmPilot is a lot faster and much smaller than CEs...its product concept is very clear and well focused to the biggest subsegment. It wasn't my intention to discuss the strategic domain of CEs. I just wanted to mention about POST/LX to people with the same needs as I have: I'm very grateful to those smart individuals who made and marketed POST/LX. I guess I have to get another back up 200LX before it becomes difficult to obtain here, like in US as people mentioned the other day... and thanks for the information.

But let's give credit where credit is due. Bill Gates and Microsoft had the smarts to come up with an operating system that IBM wanted. So what if they didn't write it! Why write something if don't have to! That's why Micrsoft has such a good web page development tool -- which is now called Microsft Front Page --they bought that too! They were smart enough to pick one of the best and make it their own. If we had similar business smarts, we would have invested in Microsoft around 1981. DOS has really improved since version 1.0, which I used to use. Let's give Microsoft credit for the improvements they made to it, too.

You should be able to find a link to a version of the OLB which runs on the palmtop. You need to change the path on the mm.bat file to match the palmtop. It should work ok after that (I erased mm.bat and use the other batch file provided which runs the program without all the menus. As far as space, it depends on the size of your flash card. I loaded a two version file once with no problem, but had to switch back to the one version file as I was running out of space (I have since started using JAM, but that doesn't help with the OLB, since the exe's and the bible data files are already highly compressed).

In-Reply-To: from "Mathias Chapuis" at Aug 22, 97 06:35:10 pm MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit It seems the hp200lx is cut-off from the mainstream. An ecology has developed around the hp200lx in its small pond, supporting double-speed mods, and RAM upgrades, because there is nothing else like it. But the demand is too small for the mainstream to get involved. Instead, the mainstream has moved on; to pilots, wince's and colour zauri - though the wince's seem to be going the way of the dinosaurs. Another pond gave rise to the psion 5; though unlike the hp200lx, it was never a part of the mainstream. Perhaps an animal like the hp200lx will never evolve again - the market never right for a full desktop computer to shrink to the palm of a hand. The hp200lx *looks* like computing machinery from an alternate time, a time cut-off from ours, and that developed independently. It has that other-worldly, "dirty technology" look of Star Wars equipment. A lost device from a more advanced people.

That was pretty poetic. I can see the movie trailer 20 years from now: "In 1997, a lone tourist in Brazil took a trip down the Amazon river with his trusty Cassiopeia."

I posted a question a few months ago asking the same thing; essentially, how reliable it was to use a 5V or 12V card in a 200LX without the AC adapter, since you'd only have 3V maximum. But, as usual, HP did a good job on it, and you usually won't have a problem. Unless the batteries are very low while writing to the card-- then it can cause problems, especially if the machine shuts off from low-power in the middle of a write. -- Visit David Sargeant's HP200LX pages at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 23 Aug 1997 14:07:12 0 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List Comments: Authenticated sender is From: Antonio Menezes Subject: Online Bible MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Does anyone have a copy of the Apocrypha(APC or RAPC) installed with the DOS version of Online Bible?

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Until the last week I was using Software Caroussel to run more DOS applications with high menory requirements such as Agenda. After several failed attempts I was able to install MaxDos and liked the way I can now handle those applications. I sacrificed the task switch feature but I'm enjoyed the change for now because it freed more than 1 M in my C drive. But to be able to have my appt. alarms while working in DOS I installed PlayEx according to the instructions provided with MaxDOS.

In other words a diary package giving more of a paper diary look with horizontal lines in the day view and the type of week view you get in a conventional diary. Does ACT or InfoSelect do this perhaps? Some other application? I'd like that feature available on my HP200LX. This request may seem a bit pedantic but although the HP200LX is a great palmtop, I find the HP200LX appointment views "dreary" and in need of enhancement! I know this is mailing list for HP's but just by way of example only, the Psion series has really nice views which look like conventional diaries.

If you load programs A, B, C, D in this order before '200' command, you should upload them in the order of D, C, B, A. Your autoexec.bat shows confusion in this point.

I've had a request from a fellow Palmtopper in Oz for information on a possible new version of WWW/LX. He bought an Omnigo 700LX (particularly for fax communication) which had a presumably early version already installed. There has been some positive publicity about it recently but as I've got no interest in it at the moment, I don't recall the details. It is thought to be configured for a provider in Singapore, and might make E-Mail connections easier. Any ideas would be welcome.

This capability will allow you select completed or uncompleted todo's within a specified period. If you print to file, you'll be able to see all your data in a list with memo, filer, etc. Alternatively, you can create a smart clip, look under Options-Smart Clip and create a custom report in comma delimited format. You can then use the custom report and print to a *.cdf text file. Using a database cdf conversion utility to convert the resultant text file, you should be able to generate a *.gdb file. If you're feeling particulary creative, you could use a combination of macros and batch files to automate the whole task! Just a thought... and it might even work! ;-) regards, Jose ----------------------------------------------------------------- Jose V Sabas University of California San Francisco Med Center Operating Room & Clinical Engineering Dept Email: jvsabas@itsa.ucsf.edu (415)476-0436 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 25 Aug 1997 09:28:25 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: lv Subject: Teletext MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Does anyone know if exit a PCMCIA card for Teletext on hp 200 lx? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 25 Aug 1997 04:35:56 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: James Wolfer Subject: Need PCX 8-bit to 1-bit converter In-Reply-To: from "Jose Sabas" at Aug 24, 97 09:47:33 pm MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, The map calibration program with lxgps (avail. from S.U.P.E.R. site) requires a 1 bit/pixel PCX image.

I talked to him last Friday and he seemed to be feeling better. A relapse, maybe? I have received and installed Post/LX but I receive an "Authentication error" after I connect. It seems to be just after it starts scanning for messages. WWW/LX is working fine dialing into the same ISP. You can call me at 800-722-9699 from 9-5 EST or email me if you know the problem.

Or maybe not. I created a new database using the built-in app and imported a text file created from Goldmine. The database ended up being a rather large 275k (for a Palmtop database, anyway) with about 1650 records. I then defined a few subsets. The first time I activate a new subset, it takes the 200LX about 10 seconds to display the subset. The second time I activate the subset, it takes even longer, maybe 15-40 seconds. Subsequent activations of the subset, however, are almost instantaneous even if the file is closed and reopened. Also, does anyone know if it is possible to sort the list of subsets. It seems that each one is listed in the order in which it was entered.

Moore" Subject: Re: WWW/lx for 200lx - PPP internet software Out of fairness to D&A and their product, I would like to re-post the a message regarding WWW/LX and Post/LX. This will possibly benefit those who may have either overlooked my comment or missed it the first go-around. I hope nobody minds seeing it again but since the subject has been kicking around the last few days, I thought I would re-post (on my 200LX): -------- --------- ---------- I use the new version of WWW/LX with Post/LX for ALL of my E-mail and Newsgroup activities. I also use the Web Browser part of this fine product to travel the Internet, as well as write and update my web site. I travel a lot and changing access numbers for my ISP is very easy. There is a learning curve involved but it is an excellent product. I especially like the feature of reading and writing e-mail off-line. This means that every morning I press a button (pardon the lack of technical jargon) and come back later. My e-mail has been sent, received and phone line disconnected. -------- --------- --------- I too am very intolerant with poorly designed product, hardware or software. I am equally intolerant of poor customer service. While it appears several are making statements that are not in favor of D&A and the WWW/LX product, I would like to make known my satisfaction. Avi was VERY helpful with my questions when his health was good. Although I am not being paid for this endorsement, I am always open to consideration :-). Perhaps this will serve as a bit of balance to the dicussion.

In-Reply-To: <"/GUID:5722EE10*"@MHS> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I wanted to get an Excel spreadsheet containing just names, phone numbers, fax numbers, department info into the phone book. It wasn't easy. I finally gave up on a simple import. I exported the spreadsheet to a flat file. I then had EasyShare (mentioned earlier on this list) read the flat file (where fields were delimited with spaces) and automatically type the info into the phone book. It took EasyShare a while to type in 200 names, but I didn't mind since EasyShare did the hard work. By the way, a free trial of EasyShare is available. Contact Jim Holton at jholton@ix.netcom.com.

(SHE = Seyer Hyper Text Editor) 166.582 KB in size. SHE has a few other nice features. It remembers that last file you were editing so if you just start SHE without a command line argument, you will be put back into the previous file with the cursor in the same position where you left it. It keeps a list of all of the files you edited previously. You can jump to the exact cursor location in any of these files where you were previously working. You can jump to any file from within another file (like making a hypertext jump) by putting the cursor on the file name (or on any blank space to the left of the filename) and pressing a function key. When you press Esc, you will return to your previous position in the first file. You can set up abbreviations for commonly accessed files. For example, SHE A (in my setup always edits the autoexec.bat file) You can setup prototypes for programming functions that will be pasted into your current file automatically. For example, if you type ascan and press F9 SHE could immediate populate the line with: ascan(&arrayname,&memvartosearch,target,startingelem,elemstosearch) ... which is the FoxPro prototype for using the ASCAN function. You set this up yourself, by creating the PROTO.TXT file that SHE uses. You can setup your own help file so that when you put the cursor on a word and press Ctrl-F1, a help window will pop up with info related to the word in question. WordStar (remember WordStar?) like keystrokes are used for deleting lines, copying blocks, etc. My favorite feature is the import feature. You can easily import a section of another file into your current file with a few keystrokes. I developed SHE in 1988 while writing *Understandng Hypertext Concepts and Applications." I wrote it with PDC Prolog SHE is currently not available, but I could make it available if there is an interest. At 08:08 AM 8/26/97 -0700, Longden C.

The database formats are certainly not compatible, but I use the QIF files in both directions for about 10 accounts on a regular basis with no problems. In fact, I've used this approach to reduce my PQ file size by deleting the PQ files entirely and then exporting the account list, category list, and transactions. Something that might be a factor is that I only export 1 type of data (transactions, account list, category list) at a time. There is 1 quirk that annoys me... when a "split" transaction includes a transfer to another account, it shows up as 2 separate transactions on the other system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 26 Aug 1997 20:30:16 PDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Michael S Goggin Subject: Re: Database stuff In-Reply-To: <3403320F.D87@smithcharter.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"; X-MAPIextension=".TXT" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Once the subset is displayed, use F7 (sort) and set your criteria.

Unfortunately, the same problems occur in this version too. Now, I tried to extract valuable information from my database (which is still quite accessible) to build a fresh one, but neither removing, extracting nor merging (parts of) adb's seems to be possible anymore. I get error messages all the time (not enough internal memory; record not found, cannot open etc.). The resulting file, if any, gets quite large (some 200K). So, eventually, I tried my luck with Garlic to restore at least part of my original appt.adb. No luck. I do get a reasonable copy of appt.adb, but I still cannot manipulate the data it contains in a way to build a flawless ApptBook. So, basically, I've got a corrupt but up-to-date adb and I can create an empty one without all the garbage. What could I do to save my data?

I'm still running down a few of them. Most are shareware ($35-$60 to register) or take more than the 132k I'm willing to give up for DOS apps (tho VDE and several were smaller). Lynn Cavendish's suggested Simtel URL: http://www.polarnet.com/Files/Mirrors/Simtel2/disc2/editor/00_index.htm was quite useful in getting most of the suggested editors. Would be nice if PALEdit or someother LX-friendly editor/viewer had a dual screen capability. I don't know about the rest of you, but using editors on mainframes, Unix and PC's runs my brain ragged trying to remember all the CTRL/ALT key combinations .

It's fully configurable, with macros, and is only 75k, but you may have a hard time finding it. It was written by Jim Willie at IBM. On another note...is it too much to ask folks to use the key liberally.

BYTE article Hi folks, Here is a copy of a letter I just forwarded to Byte Magazine, for your info. Feel free to make comments and forward similar letters to other journals that would do the infamous mistake of not including the 200LX in their handheld reviews. << BEGIN QUOTE >> Letter to the Editors, Byte Magazine Dear Editor, I appreciate your magazine and read it with interest every months, though it tends to become too much oriented towards Microsoft products In the Hardware lab report on Handheld PCs "Handhelds get serious" by Michelle Campanale that was published in your August 1997 issue, I was deceived to see that one of the units on the market that could have the most interest to your readership of computer-litterate people and programmers has been left out. Besides having all the usual PIM applications, the Hewlett-Packard 200LX palmtop PC is an IBM PC XT-compatible, Intel 80186-based computer with a CGA display. Compared to the Windows CE units you seemed to be promoting, the applications that can be run by this DOS-based computer are much more powerful than the crippled-down versions of desktop software that are proposed with Windows CE: This includes full-blown versions of word processors (such as Wordperfect 5.1), spreadsheets (Lotus 123 release 2.4 comes in ROM), databases, speciality packages such as MathCad or CAD software, and even MS Windows 3.0. Other available applications include Online Services and Internet access software featuring graphical Web Browsers. Furthermore, the main advantage of the HP200LX over Windows CE machines is that it doesn't need a high-end desktop PC running Windows NT to support application development: Applications can simply be developped on the palmtop itself, using a variety of widely available Software Development Environments (such as Borland C++ 2.0, MS Quick C 2.51, Turbo Pascal 7.0...). The HP200LX is even smaller than most of the machines you reviewed and comes with 2 or 4 MB of RAM and a PCMCIA slot that provides room for expandability and additional storage. There is also a version, the Omnigo 700LX, that includes a cellular phone and wireless modem for cellular networks (similar in concept to the Nokia 9000 Communicator that was featured in your article). All the above makes the HP200LX ideal as a portable software development platform and engineering calculator. It personally find it to be an excellent Laptop replacement. Despite the lack of marketing support from HP for this unit, it stands out as a wonder of engineering and should not be overlooked. As far as Windows CE units are concerned, it might be worth noting that some of the latest subnotebook computers, such as the IBM PC 110 and Toshiba Libretto, have about the same form factor, and yet run full-blown Windows 95 and full-featured desktop applications. (Disclaimer: I do not work for HP, nor do I have any financial interest in the company. The above is just my opinion as a buyer that do not let marketing dictate his conduct and rather makes a careful review of his own needs before going out to find the product that best matches his requirements).

My problem, though, is that I'm a novice "C" programmer, and I'm finding it hard to figure out how to read the "dumped" records into a program and address the fields. I've been a professional mainframe programmer for many years, so I'm quite familiar with how COBOL programs handle file input. Right now, though, I'm struggling with trying do decide between using fgets, fscanf, fread, etc. I see two possible problems: 1) the double-quotes around the field contents seem to be "in the way", and 2) since a particular field can vary in length from record to record, I don't see how I can declare a structure that will let me address each individual field. I'd also like to be able to "spin" though the file the way I would do with a flat file on the mainframe - by reading each record, testing field values, and either using the record or "spinning" until I find the ones I want. Sorry for bothering you all with such mundane C programming questions, but I'm really lost on this one! I flipped through about a dozen "C" books the other day, and just got more confused the more I read! Thanks for any help you can provide.

Some setup is required, though, because SHE has to know where her main startup document is. When you start SHE with no command line arguments, she always jumps into the last file you were editing, unless SHE's file list is empty. In that case, SHE jumps into a default startup file. By the way, SHE does require some small support files -- files that she uses to keep track of things like abbreviations for commonly used files, the list of files you have edited, etc. >A further query is whether the "side-by-side" description is literal, >like tiling vertically as in Windows applications, or whether the two >files are displayed one above the other, which in some ways would >minimise word wrap problems. I also wonder if this programme is >adaptable to a Windows environment. The files are displayed side-by-side -- one on the left, one on the right. If you want to zoom either one to full screen, you can by pressing a function key. Only one of the files is active at a time. You press a key to jump forward or backward. You can jump forward or backward among all the files you have edited--not just two. ÝYou have to be careful when making "hypertext jumps" -- I designed SHE so she abandons any changes to the current document when she makes a hypertext jump. A hypertext jump is when you put the cursor on (or to the left of) any filename in the current file and press a function key. ¨ If you want to save your current work before making a hypertext jump, just tap F2 before making the jump. Hypertext jumps are useful when you have a main controlling document that lists the names of all the other files you want to edit. Then you can just scroll down to the file name and press a function key to jump into the file. Regarding wordwrap. You can turn it on or off. Sometimes it is useful not to have any wordwrap. SHE runs nicely *under* Windows. It is a DOS program, but you can set up an ICON for it on your desktop or just run it by typing SHE at the "run" command line. I've run SHE under Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and Windows NT 4.0. I'm thinking of making SHE shareware, with a registration price of, say, $9.95, which would give you support and an opportunity to suggest enhancements and get a free upgrade. There are a lot of editors out there, but SHE has some unique hypertext qualities that other editors don't have. What do you think about the shareware idea?

I don't think this is the case. The 9-25 adapter with the picture of the computer monitor is also a null modem adapter, while the one with the telephone handset is not. The cable itself is not null-modemed. ------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer dskramer@concentric.net DK KD http://www.concentric.net/~dskramer DKK D DK KD We are born naked, wet and hungry.

The recommended way to read in files with carriage-return or carriage-return-line-feed terminated lines is to= use fgets to read the line, then sscanf to parse the line. Your loop will look something like this: FILE *InFile; //Pointer to a file handle char BuffÝ256¨; //Is this big enough? InFile=3Dfopen("myfile.cdf","r") if(InFile=3D=3DNULL) { =09printf("Can't open input file\n"); =09exit(1); } while(fgets(Buff,256,InFile)) //fgets returns NULL on EOF/error { =09sscanf( .... whatever you need here); } >I see two possible problems: 1) the double-quotes > around the field contents seem to be "in the way", Since you know how many fields will be in the input file, you can put= the quotes in the sscanf format line, like "\"%s\",\"%s\",\"%s\"" etc...

I thought a C structure definition came in the docs of gdbio, but I= could be wrong. I'm sure someone else can help you out with the specifics. What you need to do, though, is create each field as big as the largest value. If you have a charÝ20¨ variable and you put "foobar" in it,= the string functions know that the string is six characters long because= C strings have a ASCII zero at the end of it, so it knows where the string ends and the unused space in the variable begins. > I'd also like to be able to "spin" though the file the way= I > would do with a flat file on the mainframe - by reading each record, > testing field values, and either using the record or "spinning" until= I > find the ones I want. YOu should be able to turn the loop above into that.

I want to use a Red Eye to do an unattended backup, without involving a bunch of operating system "overhead". My dream would go something like this... walk in from work, set palmtop down in usual place (which now has a Red Eye device near by) and sometime during the night, a PC in the house gets turned on by a wall timer, it boots and comes up running Intersvr.exe. The palmtop, at the prompting of it's own internal Appointment application, launches a batch file and copies all the new or changed files to the PC. Yes, I could just plug in a serial cord, but this is a dream...

For the few applications that I have installed in the System Manager that need the COM1 port, I explicitly turn the power on with the upside-down exclamation point in the Comments field. One such app, XPORT, that was working fine for a few days suddenly stopped working today. Upon investigation I discovered that the COM1 port power was not getting turned on. I checked the settings, and it looked fine. I even copied the Comments field from a working COM1-using program, ZIP, to no avail. Now for the interesting part: when I changed the Path field in the working app from "C:\zip.com /v /b19200" to "C:\xport.exe /p1 /s2" the power does not turn on! Nothing else changed, just the Path field. When I change the Path back, the power turns on! In case you're interested, I'm popping up LXPRO to tell me whether the power is on or not. I'm currently working around it by using LXPRO to toggle the power, but that shouldn't be necessary.

If you can, there should be a DOS program called ATAINIT or the like it to handle cards at the dos level. You have to be able to drop to the dos level to reformat the card.

Borders" Organization: Business Division - TCC VB Subject: Omnibook Problem I no this isn't technically the correct list but I thought someone out there might have seen this problem. I have an Omnibook 300 that thinks it has a password now. The battery went totally dead and after that it comes up asking for a password. There is a password setting on these that only asks when totally powered off, not when suspended. I think that is what I am seeing. I asked the guy I bought it from but he can't remember any password, of course he bought it from someone else and may have just been lucky. According to the manual you can call HP "with the omnibook in hand" and they can tell you how to fix it. Of course I called them and they want $25 for each call, or $2.50 a minute. Surely someone out there knows the magic trick to get past this password screen, it must ne some special password or combination of keys that does it. Any and all help appreciated. Pete Peter W.

Makes me wonder if the CE devices will age as gracefully. Heh.... In Singapore, the CE v2.0 is coming out, and HP is trashing out the CrapCE at S$800 (about US$535).

You need about 1.5 MB of disk space for a complete installation. The tutorial takes and added 360K. Plus, Q&A utilizes artificial intelligence technology to put a built-in "intelligent assistance" at your service. Using Q&A's Intelligent Assistance, you can ask for and retrieve stored facts and figures, and create reports, using plain English sentences. Q&A 3.0 is currently out of print but is worth the hunt.

A later version of FoxPro would be great if you have enough disk space. You can create your own database with PDC Prolog, but it will take some effort plus a changing in thinking to learn Prolog, which is non-procedural.

If you can reformat them in dos, or use fdisk to delete the Non-dos partitionn (s)and reformat them you may have a usable card. Adapters for pcs come with software to do this. Depending on what is on the card, you may need something stronger than do DOS to do this.

Anyone else want to give it a try? I use the TRUEFSS programs in my HP100LX with a 4Mb INTEL flash card with no problems. This is my config.sys: buffers=20 files=50 stacks=0,0 rem dos=high shell=d:\dos\command.com d:\dos /p device=c:\maxflash\tffs.com /drive=a /sice=4096 My autoexec.bat echo off Rem Rem To customize DOS startup files, copy config.sys and Rem autoexec.bat from the D drive to the C drive and Rem edit the C drive versions to meet your needs. Rem Rem Rem Set prompt, path, and select C drive. Rem prompt $p$g path c:\;d:\;d:\bin;d:\dos;a:\;a: c: Rem Rem Following assign enables referencing the plug-in card as Rem drive E (in addition to A). Using E allows some programs Rem to run which refuse to run from a drive that is normally Rem associated with a floppy drive.x rem assign e:=a: Rem Rem Remove Rem from following cic100 line to load support Rem for PCMCIA modem cards. Rem Rem d:\bin\cic100 /gen 1 Rem Rem Following 100 command starts the System Manager which Rem provides access to the built-in applications. Rem maxdos -l -wa:\max CLICK 100 maxdos -r I use the TFORMAT to format the FLASH card. and TCHECK as CHKDSK substitute. All is working OK , with any compatibility problems. (all programs are included in TRUEFSS.ZIP package, I first unzip it and run install program in my desktop PC, and then copy the suggested files to my HP100Lx) Best regards.

Your correct about needed a gender changer and null modem. You can obtain both at you local Radio Shack for about $2.99 - 4.95. I just recently traded my 96/24 pocket modem for a 100/LX mother board. Hated to give it up. But what good is a modem without a working computer. Note: Just go into Comm settings and set it for 2400 baud.
