Jorgen, no, I live in New Zealand and use ibm.net but that's never stopped me. I once had the exact same problem with an old ISP here. Syddenly their newsserver was uncontactable - whereas other folk could still contact it. It turned out they had kindly *changed the IP address*. So I deleted C:\_DAT\WWW.CAC and... all was well again! You have probably tried that already I suppose :( Otherwise I am sure D&ASoft will be really interested to solve this one - there is a way to get a big log file - put DL=3D47 in the [NEWS] section of the CFG file, and I think the log will go to the DEBUG folder. --__next_part__906263919__-- Regards, Tony -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 1 Sep 1997 11:39:40 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Philip Seyer Subject: Re: Thumbelina and Word5 for DOS In-Reply-To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" There are several adapters that come with the Connectivity Kit.

This might be some function of using MaxDos to load Word5. However, I discovered that I could load the mouse driver, turn in on, and access word5 using a .bat file. The file ( call it word.bat)is: C: cd apmouse apmouse ON cd\ cd word5 word cd\ cd apmouse apmouse OFF exit The mouse driver is in directory apmouse. It is the dos driver that comes with the Thumbelina mouse. I do not load it with autoexec.bat. I only call it in front of an application that will use it. I turn it off (which unloads it) immediately after use. If I don't turn it off and exit after quiting word5, my HP freezes up and I have to reboot. However, by turning it off and exiting, I go right back to the appmgr with no problem. My application icon is set up as: Name: Word5 Path: c;\maxdos.com c:\word5\word.bat Comments: (use upside down exclamation and question mark here) Icon: Hope is of use to the group.

I don't think it can be done; it probably requires a level of Card and Socket Services which the palmtop neither comes with nor has available.

I managed to discover that just a few hours ago. But found what at least is an undesired behaviour of the BattSetTime in the PAL library. This function takes an int as an argument, then, internally, it converts to long, do the required adjustment seconds/ticks and update the timer. So, the highest useable time is 32767 seconds. If you use 32768, this is 0x8000, that when converted to long is 0xFFFF8000, which is clearly an incorrect value (and will make the timer overflow AND START FAST CHARGING AGAIN after 0x7FFF seconds). If you use higher numbers, the overflow will happen sooner. I just don't know why those two functions (BattGetTimer and BattSetTimer) don't deal with unsigned longs instead of integers, when the timer *IS* an unsigned long number. I've modified them and sent a suggestion to the PAL maintainer to do the same. Saludos.

My short answer is: they both work. If you are cost conscious and do not need as many features nor palmtop integration, you will be happy with NetTamer. I have chosen to use WWW/LX because, although I am also cost conscious, the program was written for the palmtop and therefore is easier to use. Simple things like Zoom and PAL menus and fonts make a difference. WWW/LX also allows user input in a dialing script which is important to me since I use on-time passwords provided by SecureID. P.S. I recommend a memory upgrade or a PCMCIA modem with memory (such as ThinFax) if you plan on using your palmtop to go online. 2MB fills up quickly with email and news messages.

Hand in hand with OS/2. Hell with NT I would definitely be interested. What would be the advantage over the current IrDA drivers? One thing that concerns me is that if I increase the speed of my 200LX (through Times2Tech), nobody seems to be able to verify that IrDA printing will still work. Perhaps that could be addressed in the newer version? Also, there is a need to be able to print from DOS programs or Lotus. Thanks. - Danny Daniel Z.

Negatively, of course, the same as the speed upgrade and the memory upgrade. The question is, is it worth your battery life for being able to flip on a light and use your palmtop anywhere? I would suspect that most if not all of us would rather have the backlighting available when we need it, than the assurance that we will never use any extra battery power to light the screen. This is, of course, assuming that you can turn the backlight on and off, which would have to be a feature for the backlight to be feasible. Then again, the only method currently used to backlight 200LX's (electroluminescent panels inserted behind the screen) requires that the backlight be on all the time to use the palmtop. Otherwise, you can't see anything. To fix THIS problem, you need to peel the white sticker off the back of the LCD and replace it with a transreflective sticker... which is why so few palmtops are backlit so far. It really is a very difficult undertaking. -- Visit the HP200LX web pages at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 2 Sep 1997 13:09:59 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Quinton Jones JR Subject: Viking 4MB Flash Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Just got off the line with Viking Tech Support and was told that the HP palmtop's (100 & 200LX ) bios is not true ATA compatible.

Philips has announced today that users who purchase a Velo 1 between September 2, 1997 and December 31, 1997 will get the Win CE v2.0 upgrade for free.. For all current Velo 1 owners, Philips will offer a Windows CE 2.0 upgrade for $99.99.

Silly question, from a relatively new user of a 200LX: when you browse web pages, how do you activate the links? Without a mouse, can you actually do this? What do you do, tab around to the links and then hit enter? Does it work like that?? And how about the graphics - pictures, etc. - do they show up? And how well? Thanks for your help. I think it'd be great to be able to take full internet capabilities with me when I'm traveling! With your recommendation, I'd probably spring for WWW/LX. Can you recommend a good modem? I checked the LX users manual and they say you should call them to get the latest list of recommended modems. I'll do that, but I'd like to hear your opinion as well!

I wonder if they guarantee compatibility with existing 3rd party apps (what few there are), or whether the 2.0 upgrade will necessitate a few app upgrades as well.

Alpha IV try's to make everything easy for nontechnical people. It implements this by having the user access all it's features via predefined menus. I found this very frustrating. (The nontechnical types thought it was too hard anyway) I wish they would have included standard SQL. All query statements are limited to 255 characters. Sometimes this is not enough considering you have to use it's 'easy' proprietary script. Additionally, interfacing it's data with a Windows database was a pain in the you-know-what. However, this may be the case with most DOS based database's. In short, if you already know how to use Alpha products it may be the best solution. Otherwise, I'd find something better.

However, if any of you recall the bargain 15MB ram cards that were being sold last year, they included a page on the LX series that said it was not okay to hot-swap with the 100LX but it WAS okay with the 200LX.

I assume you're referring to the ethernet card that "only used 0.05 volts" when inserted. That reading was probably taken from watching a battery status (either LXPRO, ABC, or just in Setup) and seeing how much it went down when the card was inserted. Which is the only way I've ever seen to tell how much power a card will use.

Originally bought it for a 95LX, use it every day and still looks like new. It is designed so that you can use your 200LX while its in the case. Closure is by magnetic clasp on a leather strap. Pockets for credit cards, PCMCIA cards, notepad and calendar or checkbook. Also includes pen loop. When closed, it measures 4.25" wide x 7" deep x 1.5" thick. This includes 200LX, pen, credit cards and receipts. The only negative is you have to remove the HP to connect cable or AC adapter, or to insert PCMCIA card. --- On Wed, 3 Sep 1997 18:49:03 -0400 Ron Zhang wrote: >Could anyone recommend a leather carrying case for the HP200LX? -----------------End of Original Message----------------- ______________________________________________ "Michael Stocker" 9/3/97 8:39:19 PM EDT ______________________________________________ -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 2 Sep 1997 20:44:06 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Eben Rubin Subject: Re: PCMCIA Slot MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit My eject slide broke months ago for unclear reasons. It actually works on a plastic pivot which is part of the lower case. The trouble was that the assembly is held together by melting over the top of the plastic post-a fairly flimsy arrangement, though I realize vertical space is at a premium. I fixed it by remelting it, together with a very thin washer. This worked until recently, when I dropped the machine-for the first time-on carpet from not too high. Everything else survived intact. The electrical socket itself looks like it has no limits on pluggability-omly the eject mechanism looks suspicious for failure. You can get cards out with a good fingernail-I do, though it's not elegant. By the way, I haven't yet had the time to re-open and fix the machine. Does anybody have any ideas about a better fix for the retention of the slide mechanism on the pivot? (My latch gave up recently too-this seems endemic.

Hmmm... anybody know exactly what sort of problems could occur if cards are hot-swapped? I mean, besides removing a RAM card while you still have a file on the card open... Personally, I do it all the time, and haven't had any problems. I've even hot-swapped JAMmed flash cards (set up as separate drives) with no problems. But now I'm getting nervous and have begun turning it off before pulling the card.

I called Puma Technology and they stated that no release date has been set for an upgrade, at this time. Also, Intellisync does not sync ACT! notes with any built in 200LX application. It can just dump notes into an ASCII file. Comment - I would think that it would be hard to keep software of this type up to date with the current rev. levels of all of the applications that it is supposed to sync with. And, as the 200LX market continues to slow down, their interest in maintaining this product will dwindle over time. I do agree that the ACT! HP's user interface is very poor. However, there seems to be a lot a depth in the functionality of this software, similar to the PC version. --- On Wed, 3 Sep 1997 22:32:27 -0700 Joel Berman wrote: > As a Windows ACT user, I bought the ACT-HP version for keeping up while >travelling.

It comes with cc:Mail rommed. As far as I have investigated, cc:Mail needs an special mail server, but, like many people, my ISP only provides POP3 and SMTP for receiving and sending email. I've been investigating a little bit about internet connection with the palmtop and have found it quite easy to do: I use a DOS ppp driver for connection, and then, any DOS tool that uses packet drivers will work. This includes pegasus mail, an excelent mail program that uses an external program for mail transport. This is: you use that program for importing messages while on-line. Those messages are left in a directory in a format that pegasus mail can import. More or less the same, but opposite direction for outgoing messages. I was wondering if something like that could be done with cc:Mail, this is, a program able to connect via TCP/IP/packet driver, retrieve unread messages, and provide them to cc:Mail in the format it expects. And, for outgoing mail, taking messages generated by cc:Mail, translate them into SMTP format, and send them. Is there such a program ? I've thought that using the mail transport program for pegasus mail would be easy, and then just a program for converting from pegasus mail message forma to cc:Mail format would be needed. I would be willing to program it if I had the format of cc:Mail messages (or message database). Can I find that information anywere ? Regards.

At least you will need a current meter to measure the current taken by the card. As far as I know it is only possible to get the voltage measured by the palmtop and not the current. The best would be to use a slot extention adapter and measure the current direktly by inserting the meter into the power-supply. That would give the current taken at the 5V of the slot. An indirekt way is to measure the current taken off the batteries. You will just isolate one pole and loop the meter in. The current measured is more than taken by the card because of the voltage upconversion insite the palmtop. The last way is quite easy done with a minimun of equipment. It also can be used to calculte the change of the battery life when using a card. I used this way to determine the current used by a thinfax card in standby and working modus. The drop of the voltage depends to much on the battery type and the state of charging to give any reliable information about the card. So a voltage drop of 0.05 volts can be 1mA or 300mA.

Measures 5.25"x8"x1.75", so it's not as compact as Michael's TimeBoss. The organizer is a ring binder type, something that I preferred over a notepad, but which adds to the size....and is only 1/2 full with the LX sitting on top (nothing holds it in place....convenient to use and to remove in a hurry...but probably an accident waiting to happen). I keep a penlight in the ring area and that gives me a spare set of AA batteries, without taking up any added space. PC card modem and other cards are in the credit card pockets in the rear. I wanted zipper closure so nothing would drop out during a fall. The brand of the organizer is Sculley, but I'm sure the above would work with just about any type of that size. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 4 Sep 1997 10:45:13 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mark Sailer Subject: Re: Leather Case for HP200LX Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" >> Could anyone recommend a leather carrying case for the HP200LX?

You then tab between links and press Enter to visit. You can download HV from www.palmtop.net and try it with a local HTML file. GIF graphics are the only format supported, but display well. You can display other graphics externally with LXPIC, but I turn graphics off for speed. A well written HTML page includes ALT= tags so that images have textual representations as well. I can not speak from much experience with modems. I got a good deal on a Megahertz 14.4 PCMCIA fax modem which works great. If you have a little more money, I would recommend buying a modem with some storage on it such as the EXP LXM models available from Notebook Supply Warehouse (800-566-6832). The problem with using a normal PCMCIA modem is that all your communication programs need to be stores on your C: drive which leaves little room for mail download. Another option may be one of these external battery powered modems I have seen discussed in this forum.

The battery voltage drop when inserting a card is of very little use: A battery or a pair of batteries are modelled as a ideal voltage source plus a series resistor. When the battery energy decreases, it can be seen as an increase of the series resistance, not as a voltage drop in the voltage source. This is ideal, of course the voltage source doesn't remain constant, but believe me, the resistor increase effect is much more important. This is why measuring a battery voltage with no load is useless. I've seen almost empty alkaline batteries that showed 1.4V with no load, but dropped to 0.5V with little load. SO, the voltage drop in the batteries when a card is inserted is I*R, where I is the card's current drain, and R is the internal resistance of the battery. Unless R is known, the voltage drop is meaningless. And R depends not only on the battery charge, but on battery type and brand too. Salu2.

Is this in error? Or were they just being >overcautious (or maybe it applied to 100LX and not 200LX?). Well, as far as I know PCMCIA cards must be electricaly protected against hot insertion/removal. But how PCMCIA is implemented in the 200LX is something I just don't know, and, of course, card's functionality depends very much on the software. My modem is not recognized without the CIC100 TSR. This is because PCMCIA cards must be configured before they are used (think of it as some sort of plug and play). But if CIC100 is installed, it's probably checking every while if a modem is inserted, because my modem is recognized as soon as I insert it (or maybe there's some interrupt that happens when inserting a card, just don't know until I get the internals documentation). I use to swap my ATA flash card and my modem with no problems at all. Of course, if you have files open in the ATA card, data loss may happen. The manual says that "data loss may happen", but no hardware damage can happen, otherwise they would state it FOR SURE. Regards.

And, as the 200LX market continues to slow down, their interest > in maintaining this product will dwindle over time. Why would the LX 200 market slow down if we do our part in letting the world know how much superior the LX is to those Wince toys? Windows is not always needed, but most users have been made to think that is is. In my regular job, we have developed a so called GUI interface to help salesmen. In runs in Windows NT 4.0 Oh it is nice, but we could have done the whole thing in DOS. The DOS program would have the same basic functionality with drop down listboxes, etc., it could even have some pretty icons if we used special DOS graphic libraries. It would run much faster and we could have developedit in much, much less time. Windows is appropriate for artists and musicians who need a lot of graphics and fine shades of color. But for fast, basic business functionality, DOS is really just as good as Windows if the program is designed well. Some DOS business programs I wrote in 1990 are still in production and doing their job well without the need for Windows. Even today, as I work in Windows NT developing applications with PowerBuilder, I find DOS useful for automating a lot of routine tasks that would be very tedius if I had to point and click, point and drag, shift-click, open this folder, open that folder, and on and on. Windows may be easier for beginners because it is more visual. But for experienced computer users, it is often easier to develop a batch file, and then start a DOS batch menu system and then press, say, "C"and sit back and watch the system do the work by firing off another batch process.

I use TELNET/LX routinely to connect to the UNIX (AIX ver 4) box here= at UCONN with few problems. The only difficulty I have had has been related to the fact that the program is not very sophistocated, as Andreas admits in the documentation. I personally like the TELNET utility in NetTamer better as it is a little more functional. I have not seen the "lock-up" that you have experienced w/ TELNET/LX.

(long tirade) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=us-ascii The sad reality is, sometimes perception is more important than fact. People buy based on perception, simply because they typically don't have the time or resources to check out new purchases thoroughly. Because of this, the best products do not necessarily succeed. Microsoft products are a good example. Microsoft rarely has the best product on the market, especially when it is first released. But, because of the market's perception of Microsoft and its products, Microsoft dominates the PC industry. Another good example of this is Sony and their Beta VCR tape format. The Beta format produced superior quality recordings than the VHS format (today's standard in North America). However, Beta was only marketed by Sony and the VHS standard was marketed by a large number of companies. VHS volumes where higher and costs where lower. The total VHS marketing effort was also greater. In the end, VHS became the standard and Beta is gone. HP 200LX vs. WinCE is basically the same scenario as Sony Beta vs. VHS. Today, the 200LX is clearly a better product. But, HP is no longer actively marketing it and WinCE will probably dominate this market segment long term, for the same reasons as above. Another thing to keep in mind. From the standpoint of software manufacturers, WinCE is much more attractive than 200LX. The 200LX is stable, so the only way you can sell software upgrades and maintain your revenue stream is to add functionality. With WinCE, all you have to do is wait for the next rev. level of the OS and you can market a new upgrade with little or no added functionality. And, on top of that you are not dependant on one hardware vendor. I believe that the future hope for the 200LX is to find several vertical market segments where its superior functionality along with innovative software will be appreciated by the customer. --- On Thu, 4 Sep 1997 21:15:38 -0700 Philip Seyer wrote: >> ...

So, a shell account is needed. What I want is a program capable of getting messages from a POP3 server, and sending messages through a SMTP server. All, with a local format suitable for cc:Mail. That program would be only the "transport" layer. I would DO that program. The POP3 and SMTP protocols are simple and easy to implement. TCP/IP over packet driver is easily done (well, not so easily) with WATTCP. My ONLY problem is to know the format in which cc:Mail stores it's messages. Regards.

As far as I know lxtools come in source code for UNIX machines. Your unix machine MUST have a C compiler. Just unzip the sources a type "make" (If they have a makefile, of course). In UNIX machines, you can think of the C compiler almost as part of the operating system distribution. >I have to admit that most of my experience has been under the Windows OS >and I'm kind of a newbie at using a UNIX/xterm environment (but I'm >willing to learn). So, you need to transfer files to/from HP200LX <---> UNIX. I don't know about lxtools, but maybe they are just what you need. The second and very easy solution is XMODEM/ZMODEM. In Simtel you can find lotsa ZMODEM programs, and you can also get the sources for unix and compile them in your machine. Regards.

You might try "deep cycling" the batteries. Replace them with Alkaline and put them in a flashlight or kids toy and leave them on until drained and recharge them. Do this a couple of times if not done for awhile and the current handling capacity should be better. NiMH batteries are better. I have run a 40 meg in mine and not seen much difference. I run a thin fax w/4 meg and don't see much difference either.

I still use a 100LX and am quite happy with it. I have no intention of upgrading anytime in the near future. I'm a netwark admin and wanted to get the palmtop on our ethernet network. I determined that the Silicom 10baseT looked like the one to use and bought one. The docs are very vague and it took me a while to tweek everything so it worked. I am now able to log into any of our Novell servers and run any of the administration tools I like. All noted files exist on the C: ram disk. I have a 10 meg flash disk and have copied it to a server. I then map the A drive to the server directory and am able access the files as if the flash disk were installed. The one problem being keeping the server and flash disk syncronized. Anyway, here are the settings I used: Autoexec.bat : @ECHO OFF PROMPT $P$G PATH=C:\;C:\_DAT;d:\bin;d:\dos;c:\utility c:\utility\diet -P -Z -TC:\ rem d:\bin\cic100 /gen 1 c:\utility\diet -D C:\_DAT\*.?db c:\utility\diet c:\net\*.* Config.sys : files=35 buffers=35 lastdrive=z device=c:\netware\sehp.exe shell=d:\dos\command.com /e:512 /p device=c:\utility\emm200.exe c:\emm200.dat Net.bat : @echo off c: cd\netware lsl speodi ipxodi vlm cd\ f: login Net.cfg : link driver speodi noenable frame ethernet_ii preferred server= Using the above files I have 601200k available RAM before loading the network. After loading the network and logging in I have 470784k available RAM. Using the NETX program rather than VLM saves some memory and leave 518944k. Being very selective about which VLM modules load also will same RAM, I'm loading more than I need and plan to weed some out. The EMM200 utility sames me a small amount becuase DIET will use it, VLM however will not use it. I'm still determining if it saves more not to load it at all. In this configuration I have not been able to load up the internal app manager due to low memory. The aftermarket HDM app manger however does seem to work. I'm still working on attaching our NT servers and tweeking the memory. If anyone's interested I can post the results of those experiments. Hopefully this note will get archived somewhere for future reference. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 6 Sep 1997 09:48:00 +1000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Brendan Macmillan Subject: Game reviews [was: New software at eddie!] In-Reply-To: <3.0.3.32.19970905112226.00b7463c@earthlink.net> from "Quinton Jones JR" at Sep 5, 97 11:22:26 am MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > But was unable to find (Turbot C, Pascal, Basic, a C interpreter(!), and > prolog).

Works on my 4MB HP200LX... sometimes a lack of drive space can upset some programs (quite apart from a lack of 640K RAM, eg when you have the application manager running).

When loaded as a TSR, it creates temporary files of the expanded program. If there isn't space for the temporary file, it won't work. I noticed this when I tried to run Procomm Plus off my C: drive with a PC card modem. The Dieted copy was only 130K or so, but the temporary file was 250-300K.

Don't think I've ever heard of "vim" tho. Does anyone know how it compares to the other two? I use Calvin over XVI most of the time cuz it runs in 132K (the size of my DOS memory allocation), but XVI seems to handle a wider range of vi functions and settings (such as global search and replace). Calvin uses temporary files (and I have alot of disk space to spare), so I use it as both viewer and editor for most text files, knowing that I'll rarely run out of memory as with most other editors.

[comp.editors is the newsgroup for vim; FAQ should be there.] I use calvin too because it's so fast. xvi doesn't grab me personally because it just doesn't feel like vi to me. There's also elvis and stevie. Vim is amazing. Short for "VI iMproved", it's continuously developed, available on several platforms (unix, atari st, amiga, dos, win95 etc). It is full unix vi, plus heaps more functionality. I use it only as a programmer's editor, because it can be tediously slow on the hp; and the executable is over 400K. But you want to hear about all that functionality! - It can parse the output of make, and then load and position the correct file for each error. - It can find the local (or global) definition of a c function, type, variable etc. Of whatever is under the cursor. - It uses tags - a kind of hyper-text: a tag program compiles an index for the functions in your multi-file project. When you want to walk-through a routine, you hit ^t on the function invocation, and vim automatically loads the file defining it, with the cursor positioned at that line. - It has an undo/redo stack. - It has multiple on-screen windows. - define macros etc This is just the stuff that I've heard that some editors have ... so I've looked for it in Vim's on-line help. And there it is. I haven't yet heard of any cool programming-editor trick that vim doesn't have implemented already. Source is available. If you know of a vi clone with some of these features, but faster and smaller, please tell me so I can free up some disk space! > Anyway, I'd like to know the merits of vim.

This approach still allows to play audio, provided there's a way to disable speaker control by the DAC (otherwise, battery voltage reads would "sound"). It's a very simple engineering problem and I would be dissapointed if 200LX designers hadn't left a way to still control the speaker with the DAC. Of course, then, there should be a way to enable it, and that would be 200LX-specific, resulting in no sound with sndplay. Maybe when I get my SDK... >sndplay uses that, no dice.

When I read that first I thought that those programs may be using the speaker output in PWM mode. It's little tricky to do but works. I made a program for that. But the problem is that for average quality very high interrupt frequency is needed (10KHz or so), so, I doubt EVA player can display images and still achieve such high interrupt rate for PWM. Maybe it's really using 200LX DAC for speaker output... Regards.

Beside(sp?) the small size, plesant speed and high flexibility/PC- compatibility (it edits my Big5-texts) CALVIN does not seem to require extra-disk space for temp-file. I've noticed that because I'm constantly running out of disk-space. Usually, if we want to edit a file of size 100 KB, we'll have to have at least another 100 KB of free space. But CALVIN does not require that extra disk-space (ELVIS would hang the palmtop). I don't know if Calvin creates a temp file or not, but if it does, it seems to be clever enough to handle this situation. It's a pity that regular expression is not fully supported. No global replacement. No ~ command.... (I'll use q, ed or sed to do the job). I've written the author twice (friendly response from him too). Seems to me that he's not going to continue his Calvin. So, the main point of my post: Would you please write the author too, just in order to let him know that his program ist "still" so important to people in some corner of the world and that we appreciate his work. The author of Calvin: Paul A Vojta Maybe we'll have luck to see Calvin v2.3 ... Or maybe, you're able to persuade him to release or sale his source codes, so that we could hack some more functions into Calvin.

A ZX-Specturm emulator: ftp://ftp.nvg.unit.no/pub/sinclair/emulators/spectrum/pc/dos/z80-305.zip But, it runs at only 22% speed on my 8MHz 200lx.... so I guess a speed upgrade would make little difference. But the emulation is very good quality. Wierd seeing it on the 200lx.... If anyone finds a faster one... A good general ZX-Spectrum page: http://www.grendel.cz/hry/spectrum/index.html [comp.sys.sinclair] is the newsgroup for the zx-spectrum and zx81 etc The zx81 emulator should come up from a search on [xtender].

Yes, Calvin is ace, and I'm sending off a note right away. Good idea! But a question for you calvin/vi users: I *think* I've got a hold of all calvin's features, but just what does ! and !! do? I think they pass the addressed text into the stdin of the program indicated - eg fmt - and then write the stdout of that origram back into the file.

BSo you can add a little functionality that way (but still, it's a > few key presses). I'd also like to know some tips you're using too. Would you please post yours. Here's some of mine. I don't use ":!" quite often but I'm typing ":r !" constantly. I type :r !check to time-stamp the texts or programs I'm editing; where CHECK is a simple program I've written to just print a date/time- stamp in the format I want. And I'm doing the same on Sparce- Workstations all the time. Strange enough, the /bin/vi on a Sun Ultra is doing the same thing much slower than Calvin does on my HP200LX (I love typing this word). For writing something on my diary (plain text files), I have an alias called "ego" that does: check -p "--- " -f filename & vi +$ filename and the following line will be appended to the file and calvin is positioned to the end of file and I can start writing things instantly. --- So 1997.09.07/15:18:02 (DST) Once in a while I'll type e.g. :! ls -CF to check the current diectory or something like that, typing :!! will repeat the last :! command (ls -CF) I've typed. I've forgotten if formatting a paragraph works in Calvin. But I seem to have the impression that it did not work. Since you that is reading this post use vi and would work frequently under plain DOS, please allow me to mention the following utilities without which I cannot live with on my palmtop. 1. simtelnet/msdos/keyboard/wced18c.zip This is a replacement for DOSKEY. I cannot think of a reason why people don't use it as replacement for doskey... It is windows-aware if you want. if properly configured, it provides you a tcsh-like command-line editing envoronment including filename- completion (Tab) and even executable file-competion. So, I'm typing the [Tab]-key all the time like on a UNIX-workstation. And Ctrl-U, Ctrl-D, Ctrl-K,... even "!!". This is one of the the main reasons why one could claim that working with the keyboard be much faster than using a pointing devices for some jobs. 2. simtelnet/msdos/txtutl/xgrep103.zip It's a grep written in assembly language! The file size is 3380 bytes! fast! recognizes both UNIX-and DOS-style newline-character (0Dh, 0Ah). I.e. you don't get the error messages: "line too long" like some other ports of grep.

Somebody referenced my web site in a response to this problem. I haven't actually taken the keyboard unit itself apart yet, which is what would need to be done to clean it manually. (As opposed to just pouring a little alcohol where the keys are and letting it hopefully dissolve the coffee residue.) I hesitate to take the keyboard itself apart, because it's not as easy to get apart as the rest of the unit. I have a feeling it will require pulling off the plastic overlay that goes around the keys. I'd say let it dry out overnight and see if the problem goes away. Coffee is mostly water anyway, so it shouldn't be too bad; on the other hand, if it was loaded with cream or sugar or anything, it could be a problem even after it's dry.

I find it hard to believe that the reason all reasonably developed civilizations have considered it a serious moral error to put cream or sugar in coffee is in case the coffee gets spilled on the keyboard of a 200LX.

Roy It's a clone of vi, a VIsual editor for unix. It's kind of (very) hard to learn, but offsets this by being pretty powerful with few key-strokes.

Very nice tip. I'll have to do this for C-comments too!! But I don't understand why does it have to be three slashes instead of two????

Thanks for that tip. Another DOS tidbit I slept thru while they went from DOS 3.2 to 6.22. I had been using DOSKEY cuz I do cmdline stuff alot and it's helpful to recall cmds. I also had several one line batch files (ie, a.bat to just do "a:") that would be better handled using DOSKEY (like "alias" in Unix). This should free up several K-bytes as each "simple" one liner batch file takes a minimum of 1024 bytes on my 20mb card.

You can invoke calvin with many files at once: calvin file1 file2 file3 ":n" will then go to the next file in this argument list; ":rew" will rewind to the first one. ":e file" means edit file; if you then say ":e #", calvin will return to the original file in the position you left it. However, calvin needs to write out the file when changing, so it's exactly the same as what you are doing, but automated. NB ":e #" [or ^6 - which is on the same key as "'", which returns to the last /search - a similar function] doesn't know about the argument list; you must actually load another file before you can swap between them. A pleasant surprise I had with calvin is that any motion command can be used anywhere: so "yG" yanks to the end of file; and "df)" deletes up to and including the next ")" > > Another programming trick someone just told me is to use /// comments in C++ > > for very worthwhile comments.

Yeah, collecting proto-types is a hassle, isn't it! There are utilities to do this for you, but I haven't tried them... vi doesn't differentiate case for named buffers, so I guess that's why calvin doesn't and I don't think you can append to buffers either... perhaps you could write a program that reads in standard in, and appends it to a file. Actually, I think "more >> file" will do this. Put that in a file called a.bat, and then say with cursor at the start of the prototype: "!$a" - NB calvin jumps to the command line after you hit $ ($ is the motion to take you to the end of line) or just try: "!$more >> file" I just tried this, and it does work, but: file must exist first for the appendation (sp?) to work; and the line is effectively deleted, because more's output is redirected to the file, and there is nothing for calvin to replace what it sent out, except for some s. You're better off writing your own little program to do this, I feel. Ie to append stdin to a file; and to also write it to stdout, so calvin has something to put back in the text. [":w !more >> file" seems more appropriate, but always sends the whole file you are editing out: you can't specify with a motion.] Brendan PS what a long post I have produced!

We might be guilty of some digression (to vi editors and DOS, et al), but in the end, it's because some of us find that's a way for us to milk more functionality out of our LX...and that's really the purpose of this list isn't it? Admittedly we would like to talk about functions that serve a wider audience, but the LX being as flexible as it is, is different things to different people (otherwise we'd be WinCe users ). That notwithstanding, I think several of us have already taken our discussion to private email so as to not totally bore the rest of you. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 8 Sep 1997 11:34:27 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "BOYD S.

Unless you need a large contiguous space (such as required by Times2Tech for EMM, or recommended for Software Carousel).

Any idea why? Yes, this happens on different computers. You must re-run the configuration program with the key-data-file. (Forgotten how it is called). I'll mail you my config-data and binary privately. I remember having spent some time to configured it to the "optimal" state I want. So you could just start with modidying my configuration. It works wonderfully. Are you sure you don't need the [Tab]? :) Also, there is no chance to test WCED with DOSKEY already loaded.

Under SysMgr, you probably will have no difficulties finding the cursor. So you might like to skip this post. For those, who are using Calvin, or other things that switch the cursor to a line, such as the Calvin editor, so that you don't find the cursor, just drop me a mail for a tiny TSR called "bcursor" coded in assembler. No, that one in eddie dos not work. TSR would probably be the only way out. This program occupies you only one allocation unit of your disk and minimal amount of memory (forgotten how many). I've loaded it since I've coded it without any problem. (Unloadable, because I don't know how). It is the best solution of the cursor-problem under Calvin I've found so far.

Has anyone downloaded and used any of these files? Rodger Original Massage: I have enjoyed this group and the sharing of information. Now it's my turn. If any of you are interested in any Astronomy graphic files point your web browser to: http://www.mich.com/~rbird2/palmsky.html This is a hidden link available to only this group for now. On this page you can download some of the graphic files I use on my HP100LX. You will find moon maps, star finder (planisphere) views, Views from North, South, East, and West, and a detailed September 1997 map. Most of the maps are created for the northern hemisphere of the United States. Check it out! The price is right - FREE.

I can understand your point, but we must bear in mind that the beauty of the HP LX *is* the MSDOS. The hints and tips we've seen recently are extremely useful, and I've archived a lot of it. Even though I've been using MSDOS since v1, I've never really delved into some of the more unusual ideas seen here. In a tiny machine, these ideas help to keep it running at its optimum. --=20 Neil Tungate. http://www.skipper.demon.co.uk (From: address is anti-spam - use the Reply-To: address) -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 8 Sep 1997 22:13:07 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: mdstockr Subject: Re: Coffee in keyboard - help Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=us-ascii Actually, I put a little bit of alcohol on a q-tip and applied it around the affected key, and worked them several time with all batteries removed.

It's called, FF.COM (like the old Norton utility).. It written in assembly language so it is very small and super fast. It always reports how long it takes to do anything. You can do things like: Jump into a subdirectory after finding a file. Search the found files for text. Perform some DOS command on the file that is found. Copy a set of files somewhere. Delete a set of files (dangerous!) Delete a set of files (asking for confirmation before deletion of each one) Send a Form Feed to the printer (Guess why) Etc. I'll give specifics on how to get this FF.COM utility later, if anyone is interested.

It is education through articles and letters to editors, etc. This discussion group, itself, is one way. BTW, I had a rough time buying an LX once I finally decided against the WINCE machines. I called HP several times. Everywhere I called, the salespeople tried to discourage me-- even the places that carried the LX were not supportive.

We need to educate people that for some purposes, well-written DOS programs much more appropriate than Windows or WINCEs appliations. We need to explain how and why.

If you have the same bug as me, you should see the cursor has gone below the notes field. Each time you press the down arrow, the lines entering the screen are displayed twice!! Hiting the up arrow until the duplicated lines dissapear will restore the screen, and data to normal. It is only a display problem, your data is not affected. Cool Huh! :-) David Eggins Canberra, Australia davee@iname.com PS. The only reason I found this is because I have a mega database in which I put all the best bits of info travelling through this list.

The TSR is monitoring any call to the interrupt (forgotten which one I've used). Therefore, if any program tries to change cursor size by interrupting, he's got no chance. I also had this very annoying problem; even now with a block-cursor. But I'll just issue a '|' or '0' command to move the cursor to the first column in order to locate it. > BTW "snippets" has got a lot of great stuff in it.

(e.g. Jam, Stacker, EMS200, Software Carousel) To optimize the chances of undeleting files. NOT to optimize file access speed since the "disks" are solid state devices with no mechanical seek time to optimize. Software available: Norton Disk Doctor's Speed Disk for DOS (not sure what version). OPTIMIZE.EXE which ships with the palmtop version of Software Carousel. If the drive is compressed, use the utilities that came with the compression software (e.g. use JMAX for Jam'd drives). Thank you all for your responses. My original reason for wanting this was so that I could lay down a new Jam drive without deleting everything, laying it down, and putting everything back since it requires contiguous disk space.

If I buy a car (let's say it's a Porsche) and want to talk about car audio, why should I limit myself to what other Porsche owners know about car audio? That's what asking generic DOS questions (finding files for instance ) on this list is like. If on the other hand I want to know specific things about speaker placement within my car, a group of Porsche owners is the appropriate forum. Asking questions about HPLX specific settings or quirks relative to DOS programs (video modes, ways of launching etc.) makes more sense to me. If responses to this thread are indicative of the overall consensus of this list's subscribers then I'm probably in a small minority in holding these views, therefore I'll let this drop. I did want to clarify my views however, and suggest that sarcasm ("the last time I switched on my HP 200 LX...") is not necessarily the most productive tool at our (collective) disposal.

Ahem, when *we* write to magazines...etc. Let's try to be specific -- for example tell things that we can do with our HP that we couldn't do with the WINCE. In my case, a partial listing includes: Program and compile code in a 5th generation language (Prolog) Practice musical ear training. Study Japanese. Have fun searching through an extensive treasurechest of shareware on the Internet. (In a windows a magazine the comment was made. "Yes, you can find some shareware for the WINCE machines if you search hard enough. I had to smile at that.) Write and test batch programs that I can use at home at work to make myself more productive. Instantly jump into applications by pressing keys dedicated to applications. Pop up an inspirational/or educational message. Turn the LX sideways and read it like a book. Change batteries every few weeks. Print labels on a eiko INstruments Smart Label Printer Plus. Use and develop FoxPro applications. Use (and further develop) my own hypertext editor: SHE (Seyer Hypertext Editor) Control a musical instrument through MIDI (haven't tried this one yet, but I think it might be possible using a special serial interface and software originally developed for laptops.) Anyone else use the LX200 in ways that that they could not use a WINCE? What can't we do with a 200LX that can be done with an WINCE? Can we sync. with Windows applications like Ms Schedule+?

But Yamaha MU-5 also works, and is probably more available. You need another null-modem to compensate for the one built-in the palmtop's cable. Or make your own.

Not even video, sound or wireless. But simply a much higher contrast display -- compare your hp with a newspaper!

Once upon a time, I used a freeware/shareware(forget which) defragger called DOG (Disk OrGanizer) which was fairly good. It lacked the graphical frills of Norton and Optimize, but it did the work and actually gave you a fair amount of control. You can probably find it in Simtel or Garbo....its been 5 years since I've used it, so I can't remember the name of the author, just remembered that his spelling was atrocious (to which even he admitted in his doc...at least he had a sense of humor). And if you want something more contemporary, you can just get DEFRAG from your desktop copy of DOS 6.x. DEFRAG is just a warmed over older version of Norton's SpeedDisk. I haven't tried it on the LX, but I would think that it'd work. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 9 Sep 1997 22:44:26 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Jay Carlson (Volt Computer)" Subject: Re: Fluff (was Re: Where do they go?) at least something would work on that orbitting junkyard :) jay > ---------- > From: Longden C.

[snip] >Lists which become unfocussed eventually serve no one's interest. This post really made me think. It is very reasonable, but for some reason doesn't strike me as quite right. However, after a few days of pondering, I think I have put my finger on it. And yes, I do think it has a very valid point, which is discussed at the end of this post. But first: ==="unfocssed list" Not every porche-owner installs a sound-system; so sound-systems aren't the focus of a porche mail-list. But what if every one of them did install one? Wouldn't it seem silly to exclude discussion of sound-systems through a black-letter construction of the mail-list's charter? Would not this also exclude rally driving, sun-roofs and crash repairs on the basis they aren't 100% specific to porches? What would they have left to talk about? To obey the proposed prohibition against non-specific DOS threads, we couldn't talk about most software to download, either. Because it's DOS; and better discussed in a DOS forum. We would be limited to software written specifically (and only) for the hplx. We couldn't even talk about Quicken, or Lotus 123! But the real difference between a porche's sound systems and a hplx's DOS is that DOS is not an optional extra for hplx[*] users: If you want a hplx, you get DOS. It's more like saying that porche-owners should not discuss what's under the hood, because, apart from minor differences, it's just an engine. ==="wading through DOS threads" However, the DOS threads have brought out an awful lot of responses - hence, there is a lot to wade through. But is the popularity of a thread a reason to ban it? Of course, if there *was* a more appropriate alternative, the intense DOS posts should go there. And an in-depth discussion of some DOS issues could benefit from the gurus in various newsgroups: alt.msdos.programmer For the serious MS/DOS programme comp.os.msdos.misc comp.binaries.ibm.pc Binary-only postings for IBM PC/ alt.ms.programmer For the serious MS/DOS programme microsoft.public.basic.dos alt.binaries.warez.ibm-pc.dos ? alt.msdos.batch MS-DOS batch files But *there is no XT PC CGA newgroup*. Hence, this list is just about it! Unless someone knows of such a newsgroup? There is a bit of a resurgence in "classic" computers and games; perhaps we could hive off such a mailing list? But I think most people are happy as things are, at least for the moment.

A hp200lx with a solar cell is that: you can program indefinitely in the woods ... or on the moon. But to many people, this is a wildly weird idea - "But how can you type on it? How can you *read* it?" "I have dextrous fingers and exceptional eyesight... er, had." This post is for you! That tiny minority of hp200lx on-the-unit-programmers... in C, who also use calvin! Please email if you'd like to get cc: on posts on this most archane of esoteric pursuits... bren@cs.monash.edu.au And here's the promised tips: ============================ === get "threads" [SimTel yet again]. It's a 70K C reference manual. So you can check ">>=", "precedence", and the "printf" escape characters that you don't use often. Then, in calvin, just type :!threads and you have on-line help! I use a batch file cc.bat NB you need to set calvin's "thouroughshell" for batch files to be executed. === get the 267K CFAQ from [comp.lang.c] - it's big. It's excellent. It can be viewed with a batch file "c.bat": cavlin +/%1 cfaq so that it looks up the word you want, too! === A simple batch file help.bat: calvin help.doc This allows you to ref all your little tips and reminders. Just type "help" when you need it, and it's be there . ===[POSSIBLY FORTHCOMING:] In "snippets" [SimTel] there is a little mathematical expression parser called "eval". In it's initial form, it takes the string from the command line. So you say: eval 20*20-1 If I change it to take input from stdin. And *then* you can be in calvin, type an expression (or paste it from the result file you are examining), and type: !$ eval And your expression will be magically replaced with the answer! But I'm not sure of the redistribution qualifications on snippets, to when I get a round tuit... Please, email me with *your* hard-won tips, dear fellow on-the-unit-programmer, in-C, using-calvin! Or have I *completely* marginalised myself here?

I'm curious if the internal RAM of the >LX series of palmtops suffers from the same type of "wear"? Does anyone have >any comments on this subject? You've probably heard that about FLASH RAM. It's not the same. The storage media in those cards is flash eprom, which, as you said, suffers from wear on every erase-write cycle, though the minimum number of write cycles is guarantedd to be very high. ATA flash cards, differ in that the memory is not offered to the system as such (a linear memory space), but though an ATA controller, which makes it more like a disk. The ATA controller optimizes flash access in several ways, for example: 1- Distributes erase-write cycles, so, the "wear" is distributed all along the memory. If the same group of cells where used more frequently, they would die sooner (think that, for example, when you write to a disk, the first unused space is used, resulting in a more frequent use of the first sectors of the disk). 2- Manages bad memory blocks. When a block of cells gets tired and is no more useable, it's mapped out, so the rest of the memory is still useable. I still don't know why the call some cards "flash ram", since flash and sram are different technologies. I have a guess, and would like to know if anyone has further information on this topic: Normal flash memories (such as 29C040), do write cycles a byte at a time. And it takes about 1ms (typical) to program each byte. This means one second for 1K. Clearly, our flash cards are much faster writing to disk. Ease cycles are done in blocks, which is much faster (64K at a time). But disk writes are always in cluster units, so, all bytes can be written simultaneously, but for that, they must be stored temporaly somewhere while they are being transfered to the card. Maybe it's done in SRAM and that's why they call it flash RAMS. This is just a guess, because I'm sure that there's no way to retain data in RAM without (at least a little) power, and flash ram cards have no battery. Regards.

I wouldn't even waste my time trying it on the LX. On the other hand, Minix 2.0 will run on the 8088 and up. In fact there are two different variants, x86 and x386. It comes with instructions for setting it up on an XT, so "in theory" it should work on the LX. I say "in theory" because the installation requires a floppy disk drive. A floppy disk drive, not a DOS file system on a PCMCIA card masquerading as drive A:. But I'm thinking of installing it on a notebook and then transferring the system to a PCMCIA card. Obviously it's not just a file copy because it's a totally different file system. Also it would need new drivers to handle the PCMCIA "disk". For the curious, Minix is the "father of Linux", written as a small, educational, free U**X clone: As an aside, a few words about LINUX and its relationship to MINIX may be of interest to some readers. Shortly after MINIX was released, a USENET newsgroup was formed to discuss it. Within weeks, it had 40,000 subscribers, most of whom wanted to add vast numbers of new features to MINIX to make it bigger and better (well, at least bigger). Every day, several hundreds of them offered suggestions, ideas, and snippets of code. The author of MINIX successfully resisted this onslaught for several years, in order to keep MINIX small enough and clean enough for students to understand. Ever so gradually, it began to become clear that he really meant it. At that point, a Finnish student, Linus Torvalds, decided to write a MINIX clone intended to be a feature-heavy production system, rather than an educational tool. Thus was LINUX born. "Operating Systems Design and Implementation", Tanenbaum and Woodhull. Despite its educational background, it is a fully functional, multi-tasking system, complete with development tools.

Stacker indeed requires more low ram but it can be partially loaded= into EMS if any is available, however the resulting low ram usage would still exceed Jam's very economical driver. There are advantages for the extra mem however... Some time ago I posted to this list some basic comparisons that I had= made between Jam and Stacker (version 4 I believe). Maybe they can be found= in the list archives? From what I recall Jam's overall disk access for copying files was on par with stacker but not faster. They had basically similar compression ratios but stacker 4 was slightly better here (1.9= for Jam vs 2.3 for stacker if I remember correctly) with the same mix of= files. Jam's ratio was superior to stacker 3 however. Another interesting observation I made was during a disk intensive routine= such as reindexing deleted msgs in post/lx. During this routine stacker ran at approx. 4~5 times faster than Jam on my machine (no speed-doubling)= showing clear superiority here. A similar result may occur when doing searches on a built-in database file but I didn't test that theory...

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi group- I'm hoping someone on the list knows the answer to this... I've been working with Pygmy Forth v 1.4 - trying to set up graphics routines (using the HP's int 5Fh graphic functions). Everything works well so far, but my reference material doesn't mention how to position or enable the cursor in graphics mode. It could be faked by XORing a solid black rectangle with the background (and repeating to make it blink), but there is probably a cursor function built in. Anybody know what the needed register assignments/values and interrupt number happen to be?

Jeff, you are experienced with a soldering iron & very careful installing both kits (speed & memory) is a breeze. I found Macks instructions clear & concise and installed both kits myself. I did not need to do any soldering for the memory upgrade which makes it a bit more difficult. Don't forget to back up your palmtop & wear a static strap!

Calif / Los Angeles area, I was at a local Vons market and found their Energizer lithium batteries on sale for $3.18 per pair. Price tag seemed to indicate there was no limit and that the sale would run for 12 months...sounds like they're trying to unload their stock of these. This is a reasonably good price for this area (usual here is $5-$7 per pair). While I don't want to get back into discussing the merits and faults of lithiums vs NiCads vs Alkalines et al.... those who do in fact use them (as primary or backup cells) may find the pricing worthwhile to check out. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 11 Sep 1997 11:14:22 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Satterfield - High End Server Systems Subject: Re: HPLX-L Digest - 10 Sep 1997 From Pete: The quintessential IMAP program is UNIX Pine, which has in the past had ports to DOS, OS/2, etc. Hopefully you could find a copy of PC-Pine and some suitable packet drivers for use in DOS?

Drawing packages are usually limited to lines and simple curves and are usually more efficient in performance and storage.

The ideal software would be more like a SIMPLE word processor with limited graphics capabilities (or conversely, a vector drawing package with limited word processing). This is just a marginal use application, so I don't want to load in a 2+ mb CAD/paint/DTP package (whatever the cost). OTOH, I could just take a Pilot with me to class (or even my Zoomer....my first PDA...'cept it's so s-l-o-w).

Thanks. I'll have to dig up a copy and see. What version were you using? BTW, how small is "very small"?

This tip might be of interest to other international users... I am an Israeli and also have a US keyboard. When I bought my LX I asked if there was such a thing as Hebrew keyboard and the salesman gave me an interesting stare (usual level of customer service that all Israelis learn to know and love). Anyhow I now have a Hebrew/English LX keyboard thanks to white rub-on letters which I rubbed onto the keyboard. I used white letters which are about 3mm high and there is room to the right of each key where you can place the letters. I did this when a first got my LX and the letters are still there as good as new because you never manage to press between the keys.. ------------------------ David Becher (davidb@netmedia.net.il) ------------------------ -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 12 Sep 1997 13:48:15 +1000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Brendan Macmillan Subject: LX Austraila In-Reply-To: <199709120335.GAA27983@alpha.netvision.net.il> from "David Becher" at Sep 12, 97 06:35:27 am MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Just out of curiousity, how many of us are in Austrailia?

You probably didn't get a message that I sent to you personally a number of weeks ago, Brendan, so maybe I can crave the indulgence of the friendly folk on the HPLX Mailing List to briefly give you all some information. This may go a little further than your question, since presumably you mean how many in the HP Mailing List are in Australia. For a start, there are 19 of us in the relatively new Palmusoz Users' Group (not an official name, but the group's address is ). Of these, 18 of us are in Australia and one in New Zealand. I and at least six others are on the HP Mailing List, but as yet details of members' activities are not complete, so there may be others on it as well. I am the contact person and with the help of a colleague (Mike, our Unix guru) here at the Forensic Science Centre in Adelaide, I organise the list. In a couple of hours I am off on holiday and will not be able to reply to any other membership queries for two weeks, when I hope to put together a summary of members' interests. I came into this situation really by default. Having very little experience, despite using an HP100LX for several years and feeling very much alone as the others here now say they did too, I expressed to Thaddeus an interest in a group. Some time later I found to my surprise that I was listed in their Palmtop Paper as the Australian contact! One of our earliest members is David Lawrence of New Zealand who has just told me that he is now listed in the Palmtop Paper as the New Zealand contact for "Expressions of Interest" in a user-group for HP Palmtop owners. There are several known users in NZ. Regarding Australia, there are other users in Canberra and Melbourne that I have heard of, and one of our members in Perth promotes palmtops to trainees in his area of work; and of course there was the recent e-mail today from our keyboard-hungry Frenchman, Al, living in Australia. As to how many HPLX Mailing List members are from Australia and/or New Zealand, let's hear from you! I almost wish that I were not going on holiday, now; there might be a flood of interesting OZ - e-mail. Finally, I hope that one of our members will not mind my mentioning that the Palmtop Paper has suggested that he produce an article on aspects or problems of using the Palmtop "Down Under" (a term which covers Australasia). It took me a while reading e-mail upside down, but when I complained, HP said that I must be putting the modem card in the wrong way round .

Any ideas? According to RFC 1939, the POP3 protocol optionally supports the TOP command, which returns the header of the message, the blank line that sepparates it from the body, and the number of lines specified from the body (which can be zero). If your POP3 server AND client both support that command, there is no problem in retrieving only the headers of the messages. On the other hand, the LIST command (NOT optional) returns the size of each message. For example, Eudora allows you to skip retrieving of messages larger than N KB. When that happens, only part of the message is retrieved, so you can see the header and normaly the text (because the attachment uses to go at the end). So, the POP3 protocol is enough for your purpose, provided your software has the functionality. Regards. Nacho. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 11 Sep 1997 09:25:47 -0300 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: hyunspak Subject: Panasonic PCMCIA CDROM...

I don't believe he ever got 2-way comm established and I believe the dialogue on the list went that most IR ports are IRDA standard (the LX's IR pre-dates IRDA). You may be stuck with using the serial cable. There's an IRDA driver available that will allow the LX to print to an IRDA printer, but not one (to my knowledge) that will allow bi-directional communication with an IRDA port on a computer (ie, running Conn. Pack or Laplink). The LX's IR port is supposed to be an IR implementation of the serial protocol and several notebooks apparently offer some options in how to configure their IRs (maybe to the same type as the LX). However, to my knowledge, no one I know has claimed to connect with either Laplink or ConnPack to a non-LX IR port. If I'm wrong on this and someone has actually done this (not "theoretically"), I would like to know the magic words also. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 12 Sep 1997 07:27:49 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Erling, Marshall N" Subject: Fix hard to see colors on LX. was: 25 Games for LX Comments: To: "S.

In what way is the keyboard modified? You are describing a bundle of an unmodified keyboard and an adaptor cable.

Piper" Subject: 200LX notes/appt bug (ROM 1.02a) In-Reply-To: <199709120357.XAA18866@stimpy.globecomm.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I found a bug in notes in the Appiontment application. ROM version 1.02a The largest font does not work in Appt notes (full screen or not) If I create the note in the large font, then close it and the appt app, finally go back, then the largest font shows as the smallest, so there are two smallest fonts, with differing line separation. Furthermore, If before I begin typing the note text (after pressing F3) I ZOOM to the largest font size, then type the note, when I go back to the day view, the note indicator on the left is a dot--just like the repeat indicator. Now if I go to another app and come back, the little note indicator icon is correct. As long as the note indicator is a dot, I can use the ZOOM to see it in the largest font size. Once it goes to a little paper icon, the zoom doesn't work. If I create a repeating event, then a note in the same appoint, it won't zoom correctly after the repeat is set. Here's how I get the first bug: With everything closed, and the title screen showing, press APPT. Goto DAY view (F9). Press ADD (F2). Type in a description "test" or whatever. Press NOTE (F3). Type in a note, "Another test." Press OK (F10). Press DONE (F10). The note indicator is a little paper icon. Now try to view the note in the largest font. It will space the lines accordingly, but the character size is the tiniest. And there are three levels of zoom. Second bug: With everything closed, and the title screen showing, press APPT. Goto DAY view (F9). Press ADD (F2). Type in a description "test" or whatever. Press NOTE (F3). Press Fn-SPACE and zoom to the largest Cursor size before typing in a note. Press OK (F10). Press DONE (F10). The note indicator should be a dot. The zoom should work until you leave the appt app. Anyone else see this? --sp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 12 Sep 1997 16:35:23 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Sean Hoger Subject: Re: Vector based drawing?

And it's independent of whether or not you have an external font TSR (i.e., ANDREW) loaded. I guess it could be inconvenient.

The problem is the drivers. The PC Card controller in the 200LX is not Intel PCIC compatible, so you can't load Card and Socket Services 2.1, which most of the newer PC Card devices require. If somebody wrote a C&SS 2.1 driver for the 200LX's controller, then it would work. So far, though, nobody's done it. And, who knows, maybe nobody can. But it sure would be nice to have 600MB of data available on your palmtop... Alternatively, of course, what we need is a CD-ROM drive that works off of a parallel port. -- Visit the HP200LX web pages at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 12 Sep 1997 14:30:34 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Longden C.

If you are using the PCMCIA port, you have to set it to com3, at least I had to on mine, as it was conflicting with the IR port which is com2. Set your HP to 57600 baud and Infrared and load the HP Connectivity software, set the same baud rate for your notebook and the appropriate com port. Works for me.

I have a couple Omnibooks and it specifically supports the Omnibook 300 so I had hopes it would work with the LX since I think they use the same PCMCIA controller but no go. It starts up and goes through this pcm test and it fails saying there are two few IO windows, it checks up to 7 or 8 and I think it wants to go to 10. If anyone had any clues I would be really happy.

Given the dropping prices for the 200LX and the hassles involved in installing CP on a non-desktop, not to mention the disk space required...it may be possible, but probably not practical.

To the best of my knowledge, there is an appendix in the HP200LX instruction manual regarding using PC cards in Australia. You dont have to put them in upside down - just spread a fine (0.01mm thick) layer of vegemite on the underside of the card.

Once, while living in Minnesota, I slipped on some ice and fell. Even though by PC was in a briefcase, the screen was cracked. I do not believe that it would have been a problem for the 200LX. This is because notebook PCs are not as torsionally stiff and any angular deflection of the top-half of the case will crack the screen. Plus, the 200LX has less mass to cause a problem when dropped. BTW, I think that HP makes great notebook PCs. Michael --- On Sat, 13 Sep 1997 18:49:07 -0400 "Lynn M.

Maybe it's because of The best utility to close the filer app on the fly is FCLOSE.EXM -- created by Hiro Sekiya -- bundled in the package of Tasklist. It is in the BONUS pack in the Tasklist package. You can find it on SUPER site. Since it is a EXM program, all you need to do is press a HOT KEY.

The left side hinge area of the palmtop is starting to have a lot of play in it whether its open or closed, and it makes a clicking sound when you move the left hinge back and forth (note: when the palmtop is open the screen doesn't flop down). Is this normal for the palmtop, or is this the loose hinge problem stated in the HP 200LX FAQ? Oh one more thing, when the palmtop is closed the top isn't flush with the bottom anymore. If you look at it from the latch side of the palmtop, you can see there is a 1/16" gap at the right corner, and I don't leave it in the sun or sit on it. Could this be related to the above problem! If anyone can shed some light on this I'd much appreciate it. Thanks!

Post/Lx is a great choice and there is a utility available on SUPER (http://www.palmtop.net/super.html) that should allow you to run post/lx quite easily on a desktop PC. Here is some brief information from its documentation: ------------------------------------------------------------- PALRUN Vr.1.0: Desktop PAL Application Launcher - June 1997 ------------------------------------------------------------- PALRUN is a utility that allows PAL applications to be used on any = IBM compatible computer. Usually, a PAL application is a program which = is designed to run only on the HP100/200LX series of palmtops. The reason that PAL applications won't run directly on regular desktop computers = is that the HP palmtops are using a special graphics mode which is not available on other computers. HV, the famous HTML viewer for the HP100/200LX palmtops (written by Andreas Garzotto), PalEdit, and DBView have been successfully tested = on a desktop computer using PALRUN. Some "PRA" (PalRun-Aware) applications = such as PalEdit and HV (from D&A Software Inc.) take advantage of the VGA display mode of PALRUN and display more information on the screen.

Yes. You can achieve the maximum compression ratios based on the version you select. Stacker 4.x gives approx 2.5:1 compression so 'stacking' = 340K should yield about 850K but remember this figure depends on what *type* = of files you wish to store on the stacker drive.

Its as good as compression software comes and rock solid on the 100/200LX! Of course compression adds an additional layer of complexity to your machine and as such no compressor can truly boast 100% reliability = 100% of the time. Perhaps one may argue that the same is true for a harddisk = as well... > 3) Where can you get Stacker and approx. how much does it cost? Sorry, can't help with this one but an alternative to consider is JAM = - a shareware compression program (free for personal use I believe) available on the net, which is also very reliable and achieves almost as good compression and speed as stacker 4.x.

It's about the same size as a computer mouse. It's a music synthesiser - though they say "tone generator". It implements the GM midi standard - which includes about a 100 drum sounds. Sounds great! So, those are the two sources of the name G M ouse. It has lots of great sounds; I only mentioned the orchestral ones, because these are better than the equivalent sounds on more expensive units. The rock sounds (distorted guitar etc) are about the same.

Just a tiny expansion on that. Defragmentation is needed in hard drives because they have relatively slow seek times with relatively fast read times. A Flash doesn't suffer from slow seeks - it's as instant as it's possible to get. Therefore, there should be no real reason to need a defrag.

This is what the DOC file says: Version 5.0 -Color reduction and color dither (14-SEP-97) -JPEG 'extended sequential DCT' support (SOF1) -JPEG 'progressive DCT' support (SOF2) (only DC coefficients are displayed) -JPEG application segment processing toggle {F10} -Start up with best possible resolution Most changes concern JPEG. There are more and more progressive JPEG images on the net. This is comparable to interlaced GIFs, where the picture is refined in several scans. This was done for 300 baud connections in the late 80'ies, so that you can see quite fast, how the picture will look like. Unfortunately, the situation on today's net is even worse than 300 baud. Transfer rates are often extremely low. This is why these modes are in fashion again, whereas from the programmer's point of view they are terrible. You should now see only few LxPic messages like 'unsupported mode of operation'. But the most important enhancement is color reduction. JPEG true color pictures are now displayed in color in every color screen mode. The same applies for GIF in the 16 color VGA mode. This makes LxPic more valuable on the desktop, where, as I know, you use it as well. I'm now prepared for a DOS based color VGA palmtop.

Hopefully I can help. For those that are curious, QNX is a unix-like OS with a very tight and highly efficient kernel, designed to run on Intel-based systems. It's a real-time multi-user, multi-tasking networking OS and is used alot in data acquision and process control applications--manufacturing, etc. I've been a QNX2 programmer for quite some time. QNX's real power lies in its highly efficient kernel and its pier-to-pier networking architecture, where one can create a virtual machine that's as big as one wants--just by adding additional PCs to the network and distributing the process load. I used QNX 2.13 on a V20 machine with a bunch of extra serial ports on it and, using old H89s as dumb terminals, had 8 users on that machine doing e-mail, simple word processing and spreadsheets. It's a very powerful OS, but a little pricey for a single-user installation. On a network, it makes DOS/Windows look like a Model-T. QNX version 2 runs quite happily on an XT if you use the real mode version of the OS; 2.15G or H. I am not sure if version 2.2 will, though--if I remember correctly--the only difference between 2.15 and 2.2 is the date stuff. The date handling stuff under 2.15 wouldn't take them beyond 1999 or something like that so they had to issue 2.2. I never installed 2.2, but 2.15 comes in a real mode version and a protected mode version (which is actually version 3.15). Since that time they came out with version 4 which looks more like unix. They moved to the WATCOM compiler, moving away from their own TRUE K&R C compiler (there was vertually NO differences between their compiler and what K&R wrote in the original bible--it was wonderful!). Since then I haven't kept track. But to answer your question, even though the 200LX should theoretically be able to run QNX (2.15 needs only a mono monitor to run, no VGA is necessary, CGA is okay, to clarify another poster's point), I am not sure that the 200LX could BOOT QNX. It's a matter of the boot-up sequence that the 200LX goes through. From my understanding (which is somewhat limited), the boot ROM in a standard DOS machine--after going through the system checks--starts loading the OS from a particular location on the "A" or "C" drive; a location that's hard-coded in to the boot ROM. On a standard DOS machine, at that location will be found the DOS OS file, which gets loaded, and which then, at some point, executes the shell COMMAND.COM. QNX replaces these OS files, so the boot ROM loads them instead of the DOS OS files. In the 200LX, however, the "hidden OS files" are actually in ROM, and can't be replaced by the QNX OS files. If one could change the "memory" address that the boot-up code in ROM points to when it comes time to load the OS, to--perhaps--an address on the flash card, one could do it. There were some earlier posts to the list--about 8 weeks ago or so--that also had some info on running unix-like OSs on the palmtop; you might want to dig through the archives. Good luck! I hope I've answered your question.

ABC/LX monitors the battery charge system. It tells you what the current battery level is and can be set to automatically enable charging when the level drops below a preset number. More importantly, it monitors the voltage level during charging and stops (disables) the charging system when a preset voltage is reached (to prevent overcharging). In other words, I just leave my batteries in the case and just plug in the charger in the evenings. The software takes care of whether(and when) to turn charging on or off. I'm not sure Buddy hours equate to ABC/LX hours.

There were several questions & comments about these. Will they work with the ACE DoubleFlash 10M card? Yep, The manual recommends NiCd, NiMH, and Lithium cells (in that order). Radio Shack's new 1 hr & 5 hr chargers: I haven't seen the 1= hr model, but just bought the 5 hr one. It is corded, and about 5 1/4 x= 3 1/2 x 1 1/2 inches. Appears well made. It's switch selectable for NiCd or NiMH, and has separate slots for AA, AAA, and 9V batteries (with different charging currents for each size). Actual charging time will vary from about 4 hrs to a little over 7 hrs depending on cell type and capacity. How do Buddy hours match up with ABC/LX hours? Identical on= my 100LX. Both show 7.20 hours. Voltage readings are slightly different though. (2.43 on ABC/LX - 2.42 on Buddy). Haven't found the NiMH cells at either of the 2 RS stores I tried. Another new RS item that might be of interest - a regulated, switching type AC adapter with selectable 3, 4.5, 6, 9, and 12V output @ up to= 1 amp. About the size and weight of the HP adapter.

Larry, Why don't you go to some of the local one-hour photo places, and ask for batteries. They have to legally dispose of them as toxic material and the first place I asked gave me about fifty with no hesitation at all! That was two months ago and I'm still using them!

Subject: Re: NiMH From RadioShack Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have used BCC, the prececessor to ABC/LX, and in conjunction with Battlog, also on the SUPER site. I suppose I could have missed something elementary, but the charge curve - voltage against time - did not look very similar with or without BCC running. It looked to me, as judged from the voltage curve, that without BCC running, the voltage rose faster and continued rising longer, and the HP 200LX was usable for longer afterwards in consequence. If simply running ABC/LX was causing significant power consumption - most noticeable in TRICKLE mode, where the charging rate was more comparable to the power usage rate, then simply discontinuing ABC/LX would improve your effective battery life per charge, at the expense of giving you a much more worrisome time about the hazards of overcharging, and possibly - given the occasional mishap and consequent overcharge - reducing overall battery life in months. Of course, ABC/LX may indeed be much improved over BCC, and the above may not apply, if it even applied to BCC. ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"

To copy from a DOS program to the clipboard: 1. Within a windows program, copy text to the windows Clipboard in the usual way. 2. Make sure you are running the DOS program in a window. If you are not, press Ctrl-Enter to put it into a window. 3. Press Ctrl-Spacebar to bring up the Windows Control menu for the DOS program. 4. Press E P to paste text into the DOS program. (E P is short for Edit/Paste) You can also paste text from DOS to windows. While in the Windows Control Menu for the DOS program, pick Edit/Mark. Then use the mouse or shift-arrow keys to mark text. Press Enter when done. Back in windows, you can paste the text with Ctrl-V Hope you find this helpful. I find it helps me integrate my DOS and Windows programs.

That accounts for some of the low battery life (Mack Baggette had estimated a 10-25% drop in battery life due to the speed upgrade).

I tried a Belken RED EYE, which sort of worked, at 9,600. Even at that low speed (with a cable I can run at 57,600), it was unreliable. It would lose contact in the middle of longer files. It was too slow & unreliable to be of use. I saw ads for a "litelink" from Parallax Research in ancient copies of the Palmtop Paper. Has anyone used this product? Did it work (how well)? Thanks for any help.

You just need to figure out (read) the mAmps that your current (no pun intended) charger generates and calculate the time for the NiMH's storage capacity (again, recommended charging rates are often included with the battery). That sounds more complex than I hoped, but you can use any charger! (the RS charger takes 7 rather than 5 hours because the NiMH have a higher capacity than NiCd's...) Also: if the 1 hour charger doesn't automatically shut off or switch to tricke charge, watch out! (I'm sure it does...) PS: I just started keeping track of battery longevity with a spreadsheet. If anyone would like to contribute to this 'database' you could e-mail me the 1) battery type, cost,and brand name (NiCd, NiMH, Alkaline, Carbon, etc...) 2) The voltage on first insertion (by BattLog, please for all readings) 3) The number of minutes until 2.6 volts is reached (for alkaline or carbon) or- The # mins till 2.2V reached for NiCd and NiMH 4) The number of minutes until 2.10 volts is reached (or when you take it out) That's it; obviously, charging isn't allowed, but adapter use is ok. Also obviously, I have too much time on my hands. I'll post it when I have about 10 'runs' in a given category. G A T E S 9 9 @ M E D C O R . M C G I L L .

The older computer isn't getting any attention from the usual computer mags; apparently they have to constantly hock new products. This older, yet superior computer isn't usually available on store shelves but you get it the next day by mail order. What am I talking about? The HP 200LX -- a *real* computer that you can run hundreds, maybe thousands of programs on. Many people who had a 200LX tried to upgrade to an HP 320 LX, but they were so disappointed they returned the 320 and went back to their 200Lx. They decided to "upgrade to from WINCE to DOS." The 200LX is vastly super because: * You can do software development on it. (You can't on a WINCE palmtop.) You can use languages like: C Turbo PROLOG (a fifth generation language for developing smart applications) PASCAL FOXPRO dBASE AWK LISP * You can run many unique applications not available on WINCE's: With a HP 200LX any time, any place, you can: Create your own customized data entry system using FoxPro or other database languages. Use the existing built-in database by tapping a hotkey. Record notes and find them later almost instantly with a few keystrokes. Learn Japanese (Japanese writing: hiragana and katakana -- or basic vocabulary) Do multililngual word processing in Arabic, Fars, Gaelic, Greek, Spanish, French, Italizan, German, Danish etc. Print labels using Seiko Instruments Smart Label Plus Train yourself to identify all the fundamental musical intervals. Read books in a convenient narrow column by turning the HP sideways and running a Vertical Reader program. Do global searches for information. Control MIDI instruments. Automate downloading of information from electronic scales. Develop your own self-study tutorials. and on and on, most DOS programs can be run on the HP 200LX. Do project management Learn inside secrets of credit repair. Manage credit card payments so you owe zilch (Using Zilch) See an inspirational thought everyday. Lookup zipcodes. Study the Bible or the Koran. Track church membership. Choose from 3,500 cooking recipes. Analyze your personality Learn Origami (ancient art of paper folding) Check your biorhythm. Organize your family tree. Look up the full definition of a word (not just its spellling) Learn Algebra Get ready for calculus. Check your English grammar. Learn to touch type [HP200 LX can be connected to a special Newton keyboard for touch typing!] Edit text files using a hypertext editor than can easily jump from file to file by tapping a hotkey. Create software agents that can help programs work together in new ways using EasyShare -- a DOS sofware agent system. EasyShare can watch the screen for key words, issue keystrokes, read and write files, make decisions, control other programs or be activated from other programs. Nothing like this is available with a WINCE machine. and on and on... No DOS program can be run on a WINCE! Very little softtware is available for WINCEs. If you look very hard, you might be able to find *some* shareware. * You can run a full blown built-in to ROM spreadsheet program (Lotus 1-2-3) not a stripped down version of Excel that is missing a lot of functionality. NOTE: For many purposes DOS programs are actually more appropriate than Windows Programs. Windows has been pushed on consumers because it forces them to buy bigger more expensive machines.

They have the regular AA, 1200mAh, and they're working on some 1400mAh. BUT: They also have something called a 4/5A battery which carries a whopping 1800mAh. 'Trouble' is that it is 6mm SHORTER and 2.7mm WIDER than a generic AA. However, having looked at the page of the fellow who recently his 200LX in a sink full of H2O for 300 seconds, I believe it would be an easy modification to the current battery compartment; it looks like there's that kind of room (really, you be able to just shove 2.7mm!), and the length thing could be compensated for by the springs (and a bit of stretching). I'm waiting on a price for them at this time. (Oh, and they're working on a 2000mAh version!). G A T E S 9 9 @ M E D C O R . M C G I L L .

It must differ significantly from ABC/LX cuz I use NiCds and start getting "low battery" warnings at around 2.35v.

I know this stuff has > been discussed before, but I had to blow of some steam. I think Brendan's already summed it up earlier. Our LX is the product of an alien culture that was left behind long ago, only to resurface at some gypsy curio shop. Upgrades are forthcoming with the aliens' return (although they may confiscate all LX's to prevent interfering with our planet's normal development .... WinCE ) I'm enjoying my LX immensely after 2 years (warts and all), but I don't see anything that grabs my eye in the horizon. If not aliens, the people would put this baby together must have been an inspired bunch, and I would expect the same kind of inspiration will give us something that's a quantum leap over most of what's out there today (LX included)...hope it happens before my LX bites the dust. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 18 Sep 1997 07:15:02 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Longden C.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit All, I am considering purchasing a 100lx which I have found at a good price, but have a few questions about connectivity on the machine. I currently have a 95lx with the connectivity kit which served well until it was replaced by a Newton 110 a few years back. (My Newton 110 was stolen). So anyway here are my questions... All I need to do as is file transfer between the 100lx and a PC, can I get buy with just a connection cable or do I need the full connection kit? Also, if I can get buy with just a cable, could I purchase an IR connection. CompUSA here locally has an 100/200lx IR dock for around $50. Also, I am thinking about using the HP with a Modem/Ram card to access the internet. Is a 2400 modem on the lx fast enough for NetTamer or WWW/LX usage?

All you need is a cable and to download a free copy of Transfile Win 200 from HP. This cable is available from Educalc and includes an adapter so that you can use it with the 95LX also. -----------------End of Original Message----------------- ______________________________________________ "Michael Stocker" 9/18/97 4:26:33 PM EDT ______________________________________________ -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 18 Sep 1997 15:33:03 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Phil Drummond Subject: Re: 100lx Connectivity?

Can you hook a mouse to a 200's serial port? 2. What kind of rechagable batteries are the best to use with a 200? 3. Also, does anyone have an inexpensive (<$30) flash card (1 meg+)? I know this is kind of a long shot but I figured I should at least ask. Could someone send me a schematic or instructions (or both) about building a cable to connect the palmtop to a PC? I would really appreciate it. I am working on a new HP palmtop site. If you want your's or another's site listed or if you have some info for me to put on it, I would be happy to add it. The site will be at the following location (and should be up by October 1st): http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/9861/ Thanks in advance! -Jeremy Klukan P.S.: I am working on a pseudo-backlight for palmtops (and other things with large, unlit LCD displays). Let me know if your interested and how much you would want to pay for one. It will have an external battery pack that should last for just as long as the palmtop's batteries, if not longer.

As mentioned in an earlier reply, the free transfile200 program (available at hp's site) should do the job - at least on a win95 pc - not sure = about win3.x.

The only real requirement is that any time amounts are always specified at the end of a line. When done, you press F10 to exit the editor. The system asks you if you want to prepare an invoice. You respond by picking the "yes" option. The system then parses the file and adds up the times in the right column and multiplies the sum by your hourly billing rate. The total owed is printed at the bottom of the invoice. The invoice would look basically like the log itself except that it would have your name at the top, the billing date, and "Please pay this amount: " at the bottom (or something like that) TimeTrack doesn't exist, but I could write TimeTrack quite fast in PDC Prolog. If you're interested, let me know what you want the invoice to look like and I'll knock it out for you. Also, if you see any limitations or concerns in this design let me know. I think the idea of using a free form for the log is rather unique. I'm assuming, here, that you could use a single billing rate for all the tasks -- no matter what the project is. If you had different billing rates for different projects it would be a little more complicated. Actually, the log file could be prepared in any editor. You could use the built-in notes system in the HP (Ctrl-Memo) and then when you're ready to prepare an invoice, you could save the note as a time and ask TimeTrack to read the file and prepare the invoice. [NOTE: I'm also thinking that an AWK program could also be written to scan the text file and make the invoice.] AWK is free and comes with the VR program on the SUPER site (I think). It takes a bit of study to learn AWK, though. I know, I know, there's already a Time and Billing Program out there that probably does all this.

What a pile of dung. Dung indeed. If DOS is so DEAD, then why does microsoft include it in Windows95? And these are the supposed assasins! From what I have heard, it is WINCE that is feeling UNWELL. :) But if they can get Java running reasonably in WinCE 2.0, they may have something there... Unless! Someone writes a Java interpreter for DOS!! Yes! Now *there* is a worthy programming project for a meddlesome god! It would wreck *havoc* in the mainstream world if all those old computers were suddenly compatiable with the latest software again... and ... [heavenly music] ... the hplx would have a new lease of life as it joyfully splashes back into the mainstream. :) Brendan -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 18 Sep 1997 23:58:43 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: John Stafford Subject: Re: 100lx Connectivity?

Subject: Re: Give me an upgrade or give me death!(not) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit It may be more interesting than that [Java potentially being the salvation of WinCE.] There was an item on Reuters News as located on Yahoo this week, about Microsoft declaring their WWWeb Pages a "Java-free zone." It would appear, that if SOMEBODY ELSE (Sun) controls the standard, that Microsoft doesn't want to play. I wouldn't expect Java on a WinCE platform any time soon.

I recently pruchased a Simple Technology 16MB Flash Memory Card = for the 200LX and was a little dissapointed in the reduction in battery life = since using it. The time between charges reducing form 12 hours to 6 hour= s (approximately) when using 900mAH NiCad batteries. As a result I decided to take a few measurements to establish what the = current consumption of the 200LX was, and when the Flash disc was having = an effect. The measurements are reproduced here in case they are of interest to anyone. The measurements were taken by inserting an ammeter in series with the batteries. With 200LX turned off it consumes 0.45mA, with and without flash card Without flash card, current consumption was 25mA average, flctuating in sync with the 1 second clock. When typing this increased to between 40 and 60m= A. The same test with the flash card inserted consumed 70mA, and was constan= t = under all conditions - so this is where my battery life is going :-( Booting up (after CTRL-ALT-DEL) fluctuates wildly, peaking at 70mA withou= t the flash card, and 190mA wth it. Whilst measuring currents, I took the following additional readings: High Charge Current =3D 110mA Low Charge Current =3D 50mA Serial interface turned on but no lead connected =3D 5mA extra (less than= = I expected) Serial interface turned on with lead connected to desktop PC =3D 12mA ext= ra, this does not change when transferring data. The result of all this is that the flash memory card is consuming about 45mA yet Simple Technology quote less than 1mA consumption in the quiescent sleep mode. It would seem that the 200LX does not correctly drive this particular brand of memory card in order to achieve the best results. Simple Technology quote about 20mA current consumption when active (reading) which, taking into account the inverter in the 200LX which = presumably generates 5V from the 2.6V battery voltage, equates to about = 40mA at the battery, which is what I am seeing. Has anybody encountered similar experiences with this card type, or any = other card types? I have posed a similar question on the list before and the only response I received indicated that this was unusual. Another thought - my current consumption is around 70mA, and I am using = 900mAH batteries (new and fully charged), I should be getting >12 hours usage - can we believe everything battery manufacturers stamp on their batteries?

I don't remember all the details, but it depends on alot of things, temperature and current being two. A battery that can put out 1A of current for an hour will not necessarily be able to put out 2A for 1/2 hour or 100ma for 10 hours. Likewise, a battery that is cold will not have nearly the capacity of a warmer one.

The appointment application does not need to be open for alarms to "function". To use xcopy for unattended backups, you need two alarms, one macro and one batch file.

The backup utility bundled with cpack200 is far better and faster in my opinion to anything transfile has to offer.

Well, I don't know the specifics, but ... any Turing machine can simulate any other Turing machine (though it may not be very fast). As an example, my hplx has run as both a ZX81 (Timex-1000) and a ZX Spectrum! Java is an interpreted language, which runs on a virtual machine on top of your hardware. The virtual machine is simulated anyway. I'm sure many of the security mechanisms of Java would be more easily *implemented* on a 32 bit chip (which have memory protection etc), but I can see no barrier to simulating them.

On top of this, a Java programmer friend reckons that java is around 10 times slower than C; so the whole lot would shamble more than run on a hplx. :) Brendan -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 19 Sep 1997 16:49:05 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Jay Carlson (Volt Computer)" Subject: Re: Fluff (was Re: Where do they go?) on a related subject, a while back we were discussing the lowest prices for lx's, and i'm wondering if anyone might be able to suggest a good place to post for sale lx ads? > ---------- > From: Martin Sebastian[SMTP:marseb@GIGA.COM.AR] > Reply To: HPLX Mailing List > Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 1997 8:12 AM > To: HPLX-L@UConnVM.UConn.Edu > Subject: Fluff (was Re: Where do they go?) > > HP>On Tue, 9 Sep 1997, Phil Drummond wrote: > > HP>> Educalc (and someone else, I can't recall) have offers to buy > "old" > HP>> palmtops. > HP>> I wonder where those units go, and what happens to them... > > HP>This is like the mystery of where elephants go to die. > > HP>Maybe someone could write a Sci-Fi/horror story like "Soylent > Green" (I'm > HP>really dating myself on that one) where old HP 95/100/200 LX's are > carted > HP>off to some sinister recycling factory and emerge as...... > > HP>WinCe palmtops > > HP>- Longden > > HP>PS - Maybe we should ship a couple of them to Mir. > > CLAP,CLAP,CLAP,CLAP :) > > I think that "Norton Commander" should be useful.... > > HP>-------------------------------------------- > HP>***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** > HP>List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: > HP>http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml > > -------------------------------------------- > ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** > List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: > http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml > -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 20 Sep 1997 10:25:26 +1000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Brendan Macmillan Subject: Re: Current Consumption Figures In-Reply-To: <199709191340_MC2-2114-F2A7@compuserve.com> from "Laurence Harvey" at Sep 19, 97 01:40:50 pm MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Has anyone got their hplx working entirely from solar power? > When typing this increased to between 40 and 60mA. > High Charge Current = 110mA > Low Charge Current = 50mA For a while, I recharged my NiCds soley (sic) by a solar recharger - 5 hours on a sunny day would seem to fill the smaller 550mAH. But I heard the way to go is to charge an intermediate accumulator - say, a 12V lead acid battery (which can be much smaller than a car battery!), and then charge the NiCds from the accumulator. Sure, the extra steps lose efficiency, but you can recharge on overcast days. You can also use a bigger solar panel. A palmtop that fell to Earth needs an independent power source.

I'm not a chemist but during a discharge cycle the voltage drops so that inverter you mentioned will cause a proportionate increase in current draw at battery. So 70mA at 2.6V might be 80mA at 2.28V = if the batts ever get that low. Maybe you have to start recharging way before the full 900mA are consumed. I don't know.

This is my equipment: HP200LX 4mb Verbatim 10MB PCMCIA ATA flash card (Sundisk manufactured). Megahertz XJ2144 PCMCIA modem with XJACK These are the results: Power off: No PCMCIA: 420uA, raises to 510uA momentary every two seconds. With ATA flash: Same. With modem: Same. Power on: No PCMCIA: Waiting for keystrokes: 33.1mA, Processing: 65.7mA With ATA flash: Waiting for keystrokes: 35.2mA, Processing: 68.6mA With modem: Waiting for keystrokes: 55mA, Processing: 88.1 mA Initializing modem: 160 mA. Certain stages of dialing/connecting: 340mA. Online: 290 mA. Notes: "Waiting for keystrokes" means just that. Letting the palmtop boot a doing absolutely nothing. "Processing" means any type of processing activity in the palmtop, from key pressing to intense number crunching. In the case of ATA flash, seems that the card goes to low power mode a second after any access to the card. This is, when entering "A:" power consumption raises to 68.6mA, remains there for a second, and then gose down to 35.2mA. If the card is not inserted, raises and falls of power are rapid when starting/stoppin processing. Seems that the palmtop disables most of the parts whenever it's possible in order to save power. When the modem is online, the extra power consumption seems to be due not only to the modem itself but also to the constant processing and extra circutry permanently active. Seems that the flash card doesn't affect very much to battery life, because just that 1 second delay in going to stand-by mode. I didn't measure power consumption when WRITING to the card, which according to flash technology specs, is the most power hungry use. Assuming the palmtop runs from 5V, and a 90% efficiency in the DC-DC converter (sure it's below) two 1.2V 750mAh NiCd batteries would last about 1:07 with modem online. With no modem, battery life depends very much on real processing time, varying from 5h to 9h. Seems too little. Salu2.

It works nicely (in my experience) under Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and also reputedly under Win95 and NT. (I will try NT tomorrow at work and report to the group). By the way it fits on one 1.44Mb diskette and can be run from the diskette and only creates an ini file in the Windows directory, so it is also good for "jumping" from PC to PC. I use it mainly when I need to quickly copy a couple of files between computers. The connectivity pack has two components: The DOS connectivity pack and LapLink. The DOS connectivity pack is a DOS package which can run in a DOS window, which aside from connecting to the PC also has a set of system manager applications which run on the PC when the palmtop is not around. I personally find it handy for accessing my phone book and appointment book when sitting at my PC. It also gives my wife access to my phone book, which I consider an advantage though some others might differ (G). The DOS part of the connectivity pack can also be put on a diskette, giving you something esle to casrry around when travelling! (See the SUPER site) Laplink gives you access to your palmtop from the pc by "mapping" the palmtop drives A C D etc to drives on your PC which laplink "creates" eg drives G H I. I find this useful as then once a week I back up the palmtop to my PC using PKZIP to zip each palmtop drive into a zip archive, using a batch file. ------------------------ David Becher (davidb@netmedia.net.il) ------------------------ -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 20 Sep 1997 16:57:05 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Klukan Subject: Connection Port/Plug MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Does anyone have a picture of the port on the HP200LX that is used to connect it to a PC?

Those of you worried about voiding your warranty, need not; Mack will honor the remaining months of HP warranty if you can supply proof of date of purchase (this does not include LCD screens or physical damage).

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I've got kind of a trivial question. I regularly use a Megahertz XJ144 modem in my 200LX and I use Banana Comm Lean for my terminal program. Whenever I dial into my ISP or BBS's it says that I'm connected at 57600bps. I know thats not true, but what I'd like to know is there a way to find out what the quickest speed you can connect with the XJ1444. When I use my EXP Thin Fax Basic LX modem I only connect at 2400bps, which is what the modem is rated for when being used for data transfer. Oh well I know it's trivial but I was curious about it. 73 de KF4KGQ Jeff Johns jeffj@scott.net **This message was sent via UNIX, PINE and an HP200LX Palmtop PC !!!** -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 20 Sep 1997 21:07:58 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jeff Subject: Re: Another Happy 8mB Times2Tech Customer In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I'm savin my pennies to get my 200LX upgraded to 6MB and plan to use Mack, hopefully it will be soon as swapping these SRAM cards is a real pain in the rear :( 73 de KF4KGQ Jeff Johns jeffj@scott.net **This message was sent via UNIX, PINE and an HP200LX Palmtop PC !!!** -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 20 Sep 1997 22:18:44 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Lynn M.

Three speeds can be reported with a bbs connection: 1. The sender (BBS) com port -> modem, this is probably the 57600 you see 2. The modem->modem speed which won't be more than 14400 and is often the first thing reported when you connect to the BBS 3. Your modem -> com port. Look to your modem and Banana comm manuals to see if that can be reported. Look for a large text file on a bbs and download it with zmodem.

There are ways around this, perhaps, but it is not easy. You need yet another utility to capture the dialog boxes, etc. Also with 32 bit windows, you cannot read the the screen with Winbatch like you can with EasyShare in DOS. I understand that reading the screen under windows 3.1 doesn't work well with Winbatch -- you need an extra utility program and the results are not so good (according to a Winbatch tech support person). EasyShare in DOS works well! You can search the entire screen for a keyword or simply wait until the keyword appears on the screen, etc. I like Winbatch and use it, but only when I it is appropriate.

Enjoy! Enlarge the hlx display with a defraction grating magnifying glass. (I *think* that's what they're called - a thin sheet of plastic with a circular grating). The hplx display is very high resolution, but a bit small - to enlarge it to the full top half of the clamshell case would be a significant increase in size. Just stick a sheet of magnifying on - perhaps with springs (so the case closes) with a uniform expansion (so the sheet is flat) Put a hp200lx in a hp300lx case. You get the larger, higher resolution screen (and a larger keyboard, too). The hp200lx board should fit in physically unaltered, because the hp300lx case is larger. All you need is a modified screen driver - and the middle magnified font should be about right for the larger screen. An appropriate video mode would allow DOS software to use the wider screen. They could also add extra RAM, and a faster clock while they are at it. This would be a very easy upgrade step. Dictaphone Speech recognition software is pretty good these days, apparently - 19/20 words correct, but you must speak slowly. So you buy an old 8 bit sound blaster PCMCIA card, and connect a lightweight telephonist's headphone/microphone headset. Then, you can dictate in the car. If the software lags behind, it just stores the incoming sound sample until you pause, and it can catch up. Hopefully there is a cache in the card, so you need not write time-sharing code. You might need 6MB or 8MB internal RAM to hold the speech-to-text program, and store sound-files, with nothing else on it. The Velo & Psion could already do this with their built-in microphones.

The hplx display is very high resolution, but a bit Diffraction grating is when you have a picture that changes when you look at it from different angles (done with tiny prisms). What you're thinking of are fresnel lenses (pronounced "frenel" cuz it's French). Actually been done before. Not only is there one at RatShack for their LCD televisions, but there's something similar for the GameBoy-type games. Also, they were used in the movie Brasil. > > Remote controlled hp! > > The reverse of using your hplx as a remote control unit: use your remote > control unit to control your hplx!

Since the IR port can be linked to a comm port, just write a person that watches that comm port, match incoming series of pulses to stored patterns, and execute the matching commands. ------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer dskramer@concentric.net DK KD http://www.concentric.net/~dskramer DKK D DK KD "Time's fun when you're having flies." -- Kermit the Frog DDDD -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 22 Sep 1997 09:36:07 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Al Kind Subject: Re: Another Happy 8mB Times2Tech Customer MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Sun, 21 Sep 1997 16:46:09, Jim Saklad Wrote: > I thought he was doing 4MB and 6MB _upgrades_, resulting in > machines with > 5 or 6MB _total_ in the former case, and 7 or 8MB _total_ in > the latter.

About 15 years ago, I modified a tiny, published program that ran on the old Sinclair (or Timex) ZX81. (IF YOU DON'T QUIT LAUGHING, YOU'RE GONNA SPILL YOUR COFFEE IN YOUR LAP!) Mostly assembly language - less than 1K, plus a little BASIC, and a few K of workspace. Whole thing fit easily in 16K with lots of room to spare.It was speaker-dependant, and could be trained to a vocabulary of about 8 - 10 words. Didn't do anything useful, but had a good "Gee whiz" factor at the time. A slightly modified version, using a single word, had some ability to recognize different speakers. > NOTE: This program is Windows95-based. Uh huh. So divide the size by 4 to 10 for a DOS version... One thing about programming on the little Sinclair (ARE YOU LAUGHING AGAIN???) was that with a 4MHz Z-80 processor and 16K of RAM (with expansion) you HAD to learn efficient coding to accomplish anything. -PR --------- Peniel Romanelli peniel@web2000.net d021785c@dc.seflin.org ******* HP100LX ---- Post/LX ---- WWW/LX ******* "We have met the enemy, and he is us" - Pogo -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 22 Sep 1997 08:22:23 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Longden C.

Build them as follows: Thanks for the hint. I've modified it one further by having just one alarm to run a macro that closes all apps and then runs the backup batch file. The easiest way to do this was to add an icon in AppMgr which I labeled "&LX-Backup", so the tradeoff is that you use 1 less alarm but you have to add an icon. If anyone can do a 1 alarm backup without adding an icon, I'd like to know how. The macro (Fn-7 in my case) looks like this: {More}{Menu}aL{More}L The &LX-Backup icon setup is: Name: &LX-Backup Path: | Comments: ==> this suppresses the "Press any key" msg The alarm setup is (much borrowed from Phil): Description: ||7 Start Time: End Time: Location: no data required Alarm [x] Enabled Leadtime: 0 all other fields as desired. Incidentally, in my backup batch file, I pkzip the entire C drive to A since I have the space and it's easier for me to manage. I previously ran my backups by invoking MaxDOS to increase my chances of running in case I'd left alot of apps running and didn't have much free memory. The concern about open apps during backup was always in the back of my mind, but until Phil's note I hadn't taken the time to investigate triggering macros to do the close...thanks again Phil. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 22 Sep 1997 11:36:00 EDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Chris H."

I believe the original article said something about dictation, however a phoneme (spelled right?) program might do the trick in a very small amount of memory. That might be something to check out.

What I mean is storing the syllable information (short a (a), long a (A); cheese -> chEz; chemistry -> kem i strE). The program would not have to be so extensive and the information could be transferred to a desktop or notebook for conversion, which would be much faster, more efficient, and would have the advantage of using a dictionary of words, a fast processor, and lots of memory. That just might work, and I have (I think) a program in BASIC that will work with phonetics. A simple training program could be set up to recognize the different sounds (a, A, e, E, ch, k, st, etc.) and then the dictation program could listen and recognize the different patterns from the training information. It actually might work! Anyone who would be willing to explore this venture should post to this thread.

This light fits over the existing screen and makes it look like a backlight. For everyone who is curious about this, I should have some stuff on my site about it within a week or two. I will post to the list when they become available. Here are some specs: *Designed for HP 200LX Palmtop Computers *Snap onto existing screen (palmtop unit cannot be closed while this light is attached) *Separate battery pack with controls (see below) - snaps onto side of palmtop *Three models will be available: Standard Model: *6 individual light sources *AC Adaptor Plugin **Includes accessory adaptor to allow the HP's AC adaptor to be used for both *Runs on 2 AA batteries (not included) *Available with Red, Green, or Yellow light sources (white may also be available - I'll have to check my parts supplier) *Control for power Enhanced Model: *6 individual light sources (maybe 8??) *AC Adaptor Plugin **Includes accessory adaptor to allow the HP's AC adaptor to be used for both *Runs on 2 AA batteries (not included) *Available with Red, Green, or Yellow light sources (white may also be available - I'll have to check my parts supplier) *Digital controls for power and brightness *Battery low indicator Professional Model: *6 individual light sources *Includes IR signal booster to increase transmission range of IR signals (both can be run independantly of each other or from the same power source) *AC Adaptor Plugin for Light (if IR booster is connected it will also use this) **Includes accessory adaptor to allow the HP's AC adaptor to be used for both *Runs on 2 AA batteries (not included) [Light] and 1 AA battery [IR signal booster] *Available with Red, Green, or Yellow light sources (white may also be available - I'll have to check my parts supplier) *Digital controls for power, brightness, and IR booster The IR signal booster will also be available separately, however the cost for the professional model will be less that the combined cost for the items separately. I may also offer HP->PC and HP->HP cables for less than the retail people. The IR signal booster (and Professional model light kit) will not be available right away, since I must explore different ways of boosting the signal. The Standard light will be available very soon and the Enhanced model will follow shortly after. -Jeremy http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/9861/ -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 22 Sep 1997 23:11:00 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Lynn M.

Well, if you really must know, The brightness controls will be mounted on the battery pack with the power switch. This is useful for adjusting the brightness as to not affect other people around you. The standard model does not have this and the enhanced will not be more than a few dollars extra. -Jeremy -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 22 Sep 1997 23:05:15 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Card Catalog Subject: Re: WTB: HP100lx MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Roger, Im also looking for an HP100lx.

I've heard before that the number of phonemes, that is the number of sounds possible in human speech is actually quite limited (something on the order of 50 I think...but don't quote me). It always seemed that a phoneme-based dictation using a computer and a mike would be rather quick and straight-forward. Transciption could be done as you say, at the desktop, but also semi- interactively (ie, during lull periods, the software can do look-ups and replace recognized phonemes with words). At the worst case, you could end up with a document that had a hodge-podge of words and phonemes, but it would probably still be quite readable. If I knew phonetics better, I might have done something with this. As it is, I would have only rare use for this anyway, and even less time to experiment....but it's an interesting thought. Seems like you'd be able to caption any movie (maybe that's a business opportunity), or do transcription (medical, legal or lectures). Let me know when it's ready to market. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 23 Sep 1997 13:36:34 GMT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Dean L Subject: Re: D: drive write protection In-Reply-To: <199709231153.EAA19728@denmark.it.earthlink.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Tue, 23 Sep 1997 07:53:33 -0400, you wrote: >If the D: drive is write protected, how do I delete a file from it or = copy a file onto it?

This issue developed into quite a thread back in the old list-group around January. The result seemed to be "no", you can't freely distribute their software which are still copyrighted and, to quote a post from that time: "Copyrights do eventually expire, but computers are young enough that that hasn't started happening yet for any useful programs.

Once the software's no longer supported, it should be released to the Public Domain, unless the manufacturer or another entity wishes to pick up the copyright and sell the software. A good example of this is Windows 3.0. I may want to install this on my palmtop, and my buddy may want a copy. If I give him a copy, technically I'm breaking the law. However, Micro$oft doesn't support it (they even act like they never made it), and they aren't receiving revenue from it any longer. So why can't I give away a copy? I'm certainly not taking money out of Mr. Gates' hands, since he doesn't offer the software for sale anyway. There's a term floating around on the internet that encompasses this principle, and it's called "abandonware". For more information on abandonware, as well as sites to download abandonware, check out http://boxotrix.it-ias.depaul.edu/abandonware/ The gentleman who runs the web site has a huge disclaimer that explains the abandonware concept in detail. He even had old copies of Sierra games available for download, until Sierra On-Line asked him to remove them as they are still offering them for sale on their web page. He complied and Sierra left him alone after that.

Some of the Sound Blaster sound cards - from *very* early on - included an A-to-D converter for capturing sound. These early cards would work with early XT's .

Separating computation into (1) sound capture & phoneme recognition; and (2) phoneme-to-text translation is a great idea! A specific problem with this is addressed in the second half of this post; but first some general thoughts : --- Phonemes take up less memory themselves, and would not need the huge dictionaries and processing required by phoneme-to-text translation. This fits nicely with the palmtop's great portability, and modest computation power. Though I suppose one could say "Why not use a dictaphone, and plug *that* into your desktop computer for processing? That would be an equally good division between portability and power, wouldn't it? Heh, heh, heh" I'm not sure about that, but it would have a much lower "Gee-whiz factor", wouldn't it? And maybe the hplx could manage some useful phoneme-to-text translation itself. Thus, the (1) and (2) separation would still be useful. --- > It always seemed that a phoneme-based dictation using a computer and > a mike would be rather quick and straight-forward. Yes, my friend Mike agrees, but he gets bored rather easily Actually, speech recognition is one of those problems that is always harder than everyone expected. Even when taking this into account. Our familiarity with written text is deceptive: we are accustomed to seeing words written down clearly and distinctly, where there is no question of the phonemes making up the words. "Accustomed", for example. We hear speech in a similar way, but that is after the miracle of human perception: there are actually no pauses between words in speech; and many phonemes are distinguishable only by context. And context is the key to speech recognition: a human listener has an extraordinarily good idea of what a speaker will say next, and sometimes mis-hearing is due to unexpected words, rather than the straightforward sound transmission problem that it seems: eg "*What* did you just say!!?" If you are not on the same wavelength with someone, it can be very difficult to understand their words. --- But, there is a solution to all this! Firstly, you pause between words, as has been mentioned already; and secondly, instead of your program recording a single best-guess at the phoneme uttered, record several of its best guesses: a probability distribution over all phonemes. eg 'e' 50%; 'a' 25%; 'E' 25% (ignoring conditional probabilities: that is the job of phase (2)!) This provides more information for the phoneme-to-text phase, and is also a better model of phoneme recognition itself: rarely would a phoneme perfectly match one of the 50 (or so). This would still use much less memory than recording the samples directly, one of the qualities we seek. Then, the phoneme-to-text translator could choose the best fit between the inputted phonemes and the phonemes that make up the words in its dictionary. A more sophisticated model could distinguish between words based on their ordering, to disambiguate homonyms, for example, which could not be otherwise differentiated: eg "to", "too", "two", "2", "tu".

With a predefined keystroke, the editor drops into draw mode. A drop down list of line styles appear, single, double, curved etc. Now the whole keyboard, except the leftmost and rightmost columns is mapped to the its corresponding location on the screen. You would treat the keyboard as a touch screen to create a simple line drawing. The lines would be linked from the last pen down position to the next position, as pressed on the keyboard. There would have to be a pen up/down key, menu key, exit/enter draw mode key, and scroll keys. Is this possible?

It's a very interesting program -- if you are depressed about something, the program will help you pick up your spirits. It's really deep; a weakness is that it is a bit hard to read -- a little to pedantic. Iit was written by a UCLS professor who uses a lot of big words. The program gives you a lesson (more like a lecture) and then engages you in discussion. You can type in complete sentences and the program parses your input and usually makes an appropriate "shrink" like response. The Shrink will break from the conversations now and then to lecture you about psychogical depression theory. It encourages you to think about your problem situation in new ways. You can print out your discussions with the "shrink" for later study. I'd like to see something like that on a WINCE machine. Not likely! You can get GoodMood (Item 15237) for $3.95 from Software Labs 800-569-7900 It is shareware, so it would be good to send a donation if you intend to really use it after trying it.

Well, there's always Derive.

Since I haven't found anything like a TI (especially the 92), I was planning on writing something that would be fairly close. The ability of the TI to run programs might be elminated in the first version of this program, due to the complexity and size of something needed to run programs.

Since you can only have two colors with BASIC's screen mode 2, it is very hard to generate different colors or differentiations between different areas. I am also having trouble accessing foreground and background colors in BASIC (I am currently working with QB4.5 but QBasic will produce the same results) for text. I will look into this but if I have to do everything through pixel manipulations the size of the program will be fairly substantial. -Jeremy -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 24 Sep 1997 21:41:14 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Klukan Subject: Re: wanted: program for LX that rivals a TI 85 calculator MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit David Sargeant wrote: > Kevin Barnhart wrote: > > > I'm a new 200lx user who has owned a TI-92 calc for about a year and > a half. > > As far as I'm concerned the TI-92 rivals just about any calculator > out there > > > > From what I've heard (from my calculus teacher last semester) the > TI-92 > software is by Soft Warehouse, the same company that made Derive.

I had a similar idea once: you treat the entire hplx keyboard as a touch pad (like those on some laptops). If your finger starts at the bottom of the keyboard, and moves up, this is registered as upward movement. Thus, we have a simple pointing device. Run your finger across the hplx keyboard - it's quite smooth? You couldn't do that on a 'proper' keyboard. Or, we can take pressure information from the number of keys depressed - this is very important if you ever want to simulate charcoal drawing, to give shades of grey (best if pixelatted) varying with pressure. Of course, such gross, sloppy 'natural' control where the whole keyboard is active would require a very special sequence to toggle that mode!

Speaking of which... the Cirque Easy Cat is pretty small, just right for the 200LX. It's also supposed to work with a standard Microsoft mouse driver, when hooked up to a serial port. It works immediately when I swap it for my mouse on my desktop. But unfortunately, when I replace a mouse (which works fine) on the 200LX with this touchpad, it suddenly moves the pointer up to the upper right corner of the screen and stays there.

I guess that it's not a fault of the LX, because dial out is ok. So the driver is working and all the other handshake seem to be ok.

If somebody would design a PCMCIA card with ARM(or other low power risc cpu), memory, and eeprom. The arm could run a port of a Java OS that would be loaded into the eeprom. The 80186 would be used to communicate with the rest of the system(serial ports, keyboard, system ram, screen, and keyboard). I bet you could make Java run fast enough on an ARM cpu to be useful, and still fit in the 150mA requirement. Maybe this is better done with a WinCE machine? Some of them have a seperate CompactFlash port that could fit upto 15MB of flash. Then you would have the pcmcia card handle the cpu, and the system ram.

To: HPLX-L@UConnVM.UConn.Edu To anyone who's interested... I've stumbled across a configuration of PC-Pine that works great on the HP palmtop. It uses the IMAP mail protocol... so you don't xfer the messages across the wire, just the headers, until you choose to read them. Unfortunately, it's an "on-line" mailer, and I don't think it can be used "off-line". However, it works well if you've got a UNIX shell account. If there's interest, I can post the version along with some support files (packet driver, modem dialer, etc.) to SUPER. One more thing, this version of Pine can read and post to newsgroups as well.

The calculator built into the sysmgr is capable of preforming scientific function including plotting. The scientic function are accessable from either the math or sover application but the plot function is only available in the solver application. To use this application you must first enter the formula but as I see it this has many advantages. Once the formula is entered you can save it so instead of constantly having to reenter thes formula you just call it up when you need it. I have done something of this sort having seperate files containing formula for basic ohm's law, area and volume calculation for circles spheres etc, and a couple more for various other functions. I have looked at Excalc and Unicalc and found them being of little use because the rom software already does everything these do and it doesn't take up valuable drive space.

The O/S and >command interpreter are already loaded and running. Just a minor nit. At this point the command interpreter is NOT loaded, let alone running. In config.sys you can specify which command interpreter you want, for example 4DOS or NDOS instead of command.com. However, once the machine is booted and DOS is running, there is nothing keeping you from rebooting a new operating system from the PCMCIA card. That OS doesn't have to be DOS, it could be a Un*x clone like Minix. With a little work, one could probably have the USCD P-system or CP/M-86 running on the palmtop.

Yes, I was trying to get the INDEX with that command and accidently sent it to the list instead of the LISTSERV. After I sent it to LISTSERV I got a reply back, tried "GET HPLX-L LOG9708" and got a reply back. So, it worked for me. I tried "http:\\www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml" as you suggested, but got a no server found error. Maybe its down right now? I'm basically trying to find out what's new with HP palmtops again (used to be heavily into HPHAND on CompuServe 1 1/2 years ago) now that I've decided to invest in a RAM upgrade to my HP200LX 2mb to bring it up to 8MB and also a double speed upgrade rather than waiting for a 320LX to have the available software I want. These upgrades will allow me to use Stacker again with my 20mb flash disk to use with Software Carousel and have the speed and EMS memory I need for my apps. I'll also be able to use a PCMCIA modem without a hassle, so I'm thinking of getting a web browser and offline reader along with lots of other new software! Any good tips on newsgroups or web sites?

Comments: cc: Drawing@ddi.digital.net, program@ddi.digital.net Regretfully my desktop pc crashed last week (I now only have my palmtop). In it I had a simple editor from Simtel, which does text & ascii graphics. I don't recall the name, but I think there is more than one which does this (Infoselect does it as well). It works not only by entering ascii codes, but also by pressing some hot keys to change characters, then using the cursor to draw. This might be good enough for some people. For more advanced needs, Envisopublisher (spelling?) works on the palmtop, but I don't know how to use it without a mouse (Jorgen mentioned using this program on the old list; perhaps he can comment). It does great graphics, but it is huge, and it won't run if you erase ANY of its files. It's also at Simtel.

The "abandonware concept" *is* a valid concept, but it is not a legal concept - it's a pre-legal concept. However, if it becomes accepted custom, it may *become* a legal concept. Once such a custom is firmly established, courts will often enforce it. Thus, it becomes Law. Already, the abandonware concept is analogous to the exisiting legal concept of "adverse possession". Imprecisely, this is: if A owns some land, but does not use it to produce anything, or assert his title in any other way (eg fences etc); and B comes along who *does* make use of it, then B will eventually gain title to the land. The catch is, it takes around 20 years (varying between jurisdictions). One step would be to extend the scope of adverse possession from real property to include the intellectual property of copyright. However, 20 years is still a bit too long for software; a second step would be to reduce this time to 5 years or so(?). Note that the clock starts ticking only when ownership is not asserted, so this is no problem to old software that is still being sold... just as the abandonware concept holds. We can nourish the abandonware legal concept by establishing and respecting an "abandonware custom": a just and valid way to allocate rights between copyright holders and copyright users that maximises the common good. I understand that this is just what is happening. :) Brendan -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 26 Sep 1997 21:55:54 PDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Michael S Goggin Subject: Re: 100lx Connectivity?

Thanks! Forget the modems (although you could probably use the built-in DataComm to do it this way). Two classes of methods: 1) PCMCIA Flash Disk If you use a PCMCIA flash disk in the 200LX you can buy a slot for your PC. Workds great. 2) Serial connection Get (or make) a serial connection cable and connect the machines. Then run software on both that allows communication. Transfile Win200 is available for registering on the HP web site (you supply the cable). HP sells a Connectivity Pack which includes a cable and DOS software for the desktop. The software, which you need to run in a full screen session in most Win95 configurations, allows you to transfer some files and sync others. It also includes desktop versions of the palmtop's appt book, notetaker, database, calculator, and a few others (not Quicken, 1-2-3, or ccMail). It works well but they overcharge for it. Finally, if you have a serial connection, Eric Meyer has a great file transfer program which runs in DOS under Win95. It's called Zip (not to be confused with PKZip) and is available on Super and other sites. I hope this helps. - Danny Daniel Z.

This allows me to perform activities on my PC, with my HP connected, while accessing the data on the HP just like the HP's drives were local to the PC. Example: I connect my HP to my PC via LapLink. Then I fire up Word Perfect 5.0 on my PC desktop... the one with the big screen, normal size keyboard, etc 8^). Then I retrieve a document from j:\_dat\. Work on it, save it back, maybe even print it... I've just made modifications to the document on the HP. Example 2: You can also redirect the LPT1 printer port from the HP to the printer hooked up to LPT1 on the PC. For instance, while on the road, I create several documents in WP 5.1, then print them to file in a directory called a:\queprt. Then when I get home, I simply fire up LapLink, type the command, "type a:\queprt\*.* > lpt1:", and all of my documents are printed on the printer of the PC. You can even fire up WP on the HP and print to the printer while connected. Example 3: Every Monday, I do a full backup of my HP... both drives, A: and C:. I connect the HP to the PC, fire up LapLink, and have a batch routine on the PC that recursively PKzip's j:\*.* and l:\*.*... it takes awhile, but its being done while I'm taking my shower. In summary, LapLink connects remaps the logical disk drives and printers for both ends of the link, to be accessable to the other end, just like it was local. And its really nice when I can goto work, connect the my palm top to my PC, and access files from it through the PC just by accessing another logical drive. When using Datacomm of other terminal emulation and file transfer programs, file transfers are required before doing anything, and PKzip certainly cannot be performed without either transfering all files first then zipping, or zipping first then tranferring. Apparently NT will not allow this now, though... Incidentally, if the impression is that a modem is required for LapLink, this is not true.

Yes, it does seem terribly involved. By the "palmtop terminal program", I assume you mean the built-in one, "Datacomm". I find this *hideous* to use. A terrible, shocking, outrageous, inflammatory, degrading, frustrating and royal pain. I reccommend "zip" (avail on the SUPER site). Really, really FAST, TINY, SIMPLE and JUST PLAIN GOOD.

I'm not the poster you mentioned, nor do I even use LapLink (or Zip or Datacomm....at least for file transfers). But I think the hints you mentioned were probably excerpted from an article by Peter Jordan, posted at Mitch's palmtop website. Try looking at http://www.palmtop.net/~jorgen/w95.htm If you can't get to that page, then email me and I'll try sending you the contents as it's quite lengthy. - Longden PS. One of these days, we'll all have to have another Zip-vs-Laplink-vs Datacomm-vs-Interlnk discussions. As an Interlnk user myself, I've never quite figured out the merits and faults of each approach. Interlnk came with DOS 6.x and works like Laplink (maps disk drives vs specific file transfer approach), but you only need 1 executable on each end and no config files in order to set things going....seemed simpler, tho I realize that having DOS 6.x isn't a "given" as it was a year or two ago. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 29 Sep 1997 09:37:09 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Phil Drummond Subject: Re: 100lx Connectivity?

Does anyone know how to use > Interlnk with Windows 95? Due to restrictions at work on "customizing" our Win 95 machines, I'm limited to one scenario: Win95/desktop acts as client and LX acts as server. My setups are as follows: 1) Add interlnk to the Win95 "safelist". On my system, this is c:\windows\ios.ini the line added looked like: interlnk.exe ; MS-DOS 2) Add the following line to config.sys (desktop): device=c:\util\interlink.exe /com:1 /noprinter (of course, the path for interlnk depends on your own setup... the above sets up desktop Com-1 for connection and disables printer re-direction). 3) On the LX, exit AppMgr to DOS and run the intersvr command. I prefer to run from within AppMgr and have an icon pointing to a batch file called intersvr.bat. The AppMgr setup looks like this: Path: a:\utils\intersvr.bat| Comments: ?! (inverted, using Fn keys to keep SysMgr from interfering). My intersvr.bat looks like this: @echo off timeout ld d:\bin\serctl /w a:\msdos\intersvr.exe /baud:115200 /com:1 /b d:\bin\serctl /o timeout le Explanation: "timeout" is a program on SUPER that turns the LX timeout feature on/off. "serctl" turns power for the serial port on/off. Comments: you don't need the above AppMgr setup nor batch file if you just run intersvr from straight DOS. Good: Connected to my desktop, I can "Save As" from any windows application directly to the LX (ie, MS Exchange notes). I can access my LX drives (A: and C:) as drives D: and F: from Windows Explorer. Bad: If I'm not careful, the Win95 naming conventions seem to bite at the LX by creating bogus files on the A: or C: drive that the desktop file is being copied to (Win95 seems to want to build something that will retain the long filenames). As a result, I usually save or copy anything from the desktop to my LX's C:\TMP directory which is flushed out nightly with a DELTREE command which also cleans out any win95 droppings. Ugly: I can't use any DOS command from Win95 (ie from a DOS window) to access the LX. I think it's because I'm prevented from altering the properties of the DOS window (a work restriction..Grr Grr). However, during bootup, I can choose to work in DOS vs Windows and then from there I can use DOS commands as I normally do at home on Win 3.11 (where the connection is completely transparent to the desktop). Prior to Win95, life with interlnk/DOS6.x-Win3.11 was quite sweet 8( All computers at work, at home and (almost anywhere else) already had DOS 6.x on it and was connection ready (I usually ran the desktop as server in that case, since hardly anyone lets strangers play with their config.sys). Parting shot: when I did use Laplink to make the connection, it seemed faster than Intersvr, tho I never really timed it. Laplink use requires that you load a TSR on the LX, and I'm TSR-adverse (unless I really need it). Another problem I had with using LL on other people's machines was that they generally didn't like the idea of me copying several files onto their machine (same principal as playing with their config.sys). If anyone has more information on improving the process, I'd like to hear from you. Apologies if this was too long-winded and a rehash for alot of you. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 29 Sep 1997 11:30:14 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stan Peters Subject: Re: Shareware (PC-SIG) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I think I have one or two of their CDROMs around.

Here's how: there is a file in the ROM directory D:\_sys\timezone.dat copy this file to the c:\_dat directory, then you can edit this text file with memo and change the format to the following: European 3:25-31 6 1:00 10:25-31 6 0:00 Northern 4:1-7 6 1:00 10:25-31 6 0:00 Southern 3:1-7 6 0:00 10:25-31 6 1:00 the world time function looks for timezone.dat in the c:_dat directory first.

The short answer is "Yes". Presumably the manual referred to is that for the 200LX, which sounds as if it is not as extensive in some areas as the 100LX edition. In the latter there are nearly two pages of information on this subject which (presumably again) can be applied to the 200LX. The manual also has some further space devoted to examples of time conversions and changing daylight saving time. Daylight saving is always a tricky business in more ways than one, even in trying to explain the situation. For instance, in Australia not all states adopt it, nor do the changes occur at the same time and may even vary from year to year. In addition, we in South Australia have to do things by halves since we are 30 minutes officially behind Eastern Standard Time. The HPLX attempts to cover these sorts of difficulties by offering three daylight saving time (DST) settings: YES: For locations always on DST; and those currently on it but which will go off it on an irregular basis (you can change the setting). NO: For locations that do not use DST; and those currently off but which will go onto it on an irregular basis (which again you can change). AUTOMATIC: For locations that go on and off DST on a regular schedule. The northern schedule (N. America) ranges from the first Sunday in April till the last Sunday in October. The southern hemisphere schedule ranges from the last Sunday in October to the first Sunday in March. The European schedule is from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in September. The "None" schedule is the same as No DST. It is actually more tricky than this since some countries are set for convenience (according to HP) to an Automatic DST even if they are not quite regular. According to the manual "some" of these schedules are changeable. Apparently, too, when the change time comes, the World Time application (which you have to open) will offer a prompt before actually changing the system clock and the Local City's time. There are also shortcuts for changing the DST setting. Phew! Why your time changed on Friday, 26th September, Christof, remains a mystery - certainly the 26th of October is a Sunday - but you can change things to suit. I must apologise for passing on in summary form information which I have not had the time (forgive the pun) to check out in detail myself. Maybe your query will goad me into action. Hopefully this will encourage you to investigate the matter further on your HPLX. Please let me know if you need any more information from my 100 LX User's Guide.

Just a comment about this matter: the external plug ground doesn't need to be connected to the HP200LX ground (and thus, the drive ground). This can cause nasty current loops, and very nasty things can happen (from malfunction to permanent damage). I actually don't know how the DC-DC converter at the plug input is, but think a check would be needed before attempting to power an external device connected to the 200LX while the 200LX is being powered by the same supply.

Get the HP adapter. It'll run you a little money-- ~$35 or so mail-order-- but it's well worth it. It's very small, has a long cord, and the prongs that plug into the wall fold into the adapter!

I have a parrallel port hard drive in a little box that hooks into any normal Parrallel port. Do any of you technical types know how it may be converted to work on the LX? Maybe a PCMCIA Card that has a parrallel I/O? If it can be done the Box can print through to a Parrallel printer as well. BTW it uses 5v power from either the keyboard or a plugpack adapter on a desktop computer. It was demonstrated I believe on a palm sized XT (Not sure). I've used it on 286/386/486 and 686 Machines running dos,3.11 and Win95 although win95 screams that it is being slowed down More good news is that the circuit board and box hold a 2 1/2 inch standard drive. There is also one that holds a 3 1/2 inch drive but needs a 12v power supply. What I have done is use old drives as backups as I increased the size of my disks in various machines. 500 Meg is the size at present in a box 1"X3 1/2"X4 3/4 " Approx price of the box is US$120 each ex Taiwan. On the tech side I believe the software hooks into INT 13 on bootup. I am not familiar if a serial connection could allow this on the LX. The software is only 13K so should be ok size wise. I've faxed the manufacturer to find more info. Thanks for all the suggestions and shortcuts from all. For me the info in this list is invaluable. Cheers from Brisbane Australia.

Sure... play a lot of Tetris. :) Actually, there's not really an application that I know of that will discharge the batteries. The only thing you could do to increase power usage is write to the screen and disk a lot.

If you COMPLETELY discharged your NiCads in the palmtop, you would almost certainly lose the contents of drive C. If it could be done, it would take at least a couple of hours of on-time after the Lo-bat warning comes on. During which the palmtop would try to use the backup coin cell. Incidentally, the best way to completely discharge NiCads is individually. Completely discharging the cells in groups results in= the weakest cell being subjected to reverse voltage. You can get single= AA cell holders at RadioShack, wire them each to separate bulbs (in sockets) put in your NiCads, and let 'em run down. After this conditioning, you'll usually find that they'll charge to a somewhat higher voltage, and give longer use. -PR --------- Peniel Romanelli peniel@web2000.net d021785c@dc.seflin.org ******* HP100LX ---- Post/LX ---- WWW/LX ******* "We have met the enemy, and he is us" - Pogo -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 30 Sep 1997 21:45:11 -0300 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Celson Nonato Cruz de Aquino Subject: Pocket Sales Force - PSF.ZIP MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello, Is there anybody that is a member of Compuserve?

I don't understand what you're talking about, but here's what I was thinking of. hard drive AC power --- Plug-in 12V transformer ----------- < 200LX So one transformer, attached to a mains supply (an outlet) supplies power to both devices. I think it would work. The only thing is, 3 1/2 inch drives need a 5v power source as well as a 12V source. You would need to add a small step-down transformer inside the box with the hard drive in it, to supply the proper voltage. The little book of ads that came with my 200 had a PCMCIA to IDE converter card. It allowed you to plug a 2 1/2 inch hard drive into anything with a PCMCIA slot. The problem inherent with that is that 2 1/2 HDs take all their operating power from the adapter card -- something which I believe would tax the system power beyond the 150mA limit. I've considered the issue further, however. If I recall correctly, the IDE (or ATA, if you prefer) setup is a system-level interface, which means hard drive specifics (such as disk diameter) are irrelevant. If this is true, it means the adapter could run 3 1/2 inch IDE drives as well. <10 minutes later, Ian returns to his computer, after having discovered that he wasn't just rambling. A quick check with his hardware bible was all he needed to convince himself that he was correct. Indeed, the IDE interface _is_ system level, which is what he was preaching all along.> Ian Butler Advanced Software Systems, Inc.

Just a comment about this matter: the external plug ground doesn't need = to be connected to the HP200LX ground (and thus, the drive ground). This can cause nasty current loops, and very nasty things can happen (from malfunction to permanent damage). I actually don't know how the DC-DC converter at the plug input is, but think a check would be needed before attempting to power an external device connected to the 200LX while the 200LX is being powered by the same supply. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** List Archives & FAQ links can be found at: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 30 Sep 1997 22:03:15 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Birch Subject: Re: battery discharge utility?
