Well, in a sense, yes; by the common law doctrine of adverse possession, they would actually gain legal title if they stayed long enough - and *they* could evict *you* if you came back! It's happened; it's legal. Of course, this period is long - 20 years; and it applies to real estate, not personal property, let alone the intellectual property of copyright. But the principle expressed by the courts is clear - if you don't use your resources usefully, they will let others use them, rather than let them go to wasted. And this is exactly what is in issue in the abandonware debate - perhaps renaming it "adverseware" might be a little more persuasive to the commercial lawyers? There are countless examples of a course-of-trade that has become enshrined in law. If abandonware (or adverseware) allocates resources well, it has a good chance of becoming so elevated. However, the copyright owners may eventually realise that DOS *is* worth supporting. They paid for it, they are the owners; they deserve every chance to utilise it. If DOS does make a comeback - and it *should* - this may come to pass. But, just because it's legal doesn't make it "right"; just because it's not doesn't make it "wrong". -- bren@cs.monash.edu.au Brendan Macmillan " People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.

Comments: To: gates99@MEDCOR.MCGILL.CA MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit All, Ive been experimenting with a Flow diagramming application for the HP100/200lx using PAL graphics for a sysmgr look and feel, and Im curious if there is a need for such an application. If so I will continue development, and release it. The application uses a basic grid, scrollable via the cursor keys, and allows you to select from a library of symbols and place them on the grid. Currently you may attach some text to each frame, but this could be enhanced to link to text files using an editor of your choice, etc. The app could be used for simple diagraming, mapping, and flowcharting etc. Anyone interested, or have any ideas?

It is a Trimble Mobile GPS. I am wondering if anyone has ever tried this thing in a 200lx and if so, did you get it to work? So far I have not had much luck with GPSCGA. It doesn't seem to think there is anything there. The 200 doesn't seem to like it, sort of. I have to do a shift-cntl-on initally but then the sytem is ok. No major battery drain or anything. I have tried it with and without "cic100" both with no joy. Trimble's web page was not very useful. The following is on the back of the card: Compatible with PCMCIA 2.01/JEIDA 4.1 and I think this is the death blow but I don't have my 200 manuals here at home and I don't remember what version it uses...

Also confirmed. Excel (2.1) will work faster with ems present on the 200lx and it allows you to load more worksheets or larger worksheets. Winword (1.x) also makes similar use of ems. As a matter of fact both these tend to use ems *before* the low ram - when the ems is exhausted then they turn to the conventional stuff (check this using 'Help, About' before and after loading your documents).

The following are some interesting comments taken from an article located at http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,15900,00.html: These tiny machines, usually well under three pounds, offer some of the advantages of a six-pound notebook: They run a full-fledged version of Windows 95--allowing users to run all their usual software--and come with relatively large hard drives. Typically, they also boast high-quality active-matrix LCD screens. This contrasts with Windows CE handheld computers, which run a stripped-down version of Windows, have no hard drive, and are really only meant as an ancillary device to a desktop PC. While they are cramped, mini-notebook keyboards, like the one on the Libretto, are also more useable than Windows CE computer keyboards. The mini-notebook market appears to have come out of left field and is principally driven by notebook makers' innovations--not Microsoft or Intel, which typically engineer new markets. Maybe we are seeing the signs of the end of WinCE? What if someone where to take one of these mini notebooks weighting less than 2 lbs, and place the operating system and an applications suite into ROM? Might be interesting! ______________________________________________ "Michael Stocker" 11/1/97 2:54:48 PM EST ______________________________________________ -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 2 Nov 1997 00:43:30 +0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Dr. Thomas W.

However, I've Don't run the built-in test on a flash card. It's designed only for SRAM cards, and could be harmful to a flash card. It will always say it's bad if you run it on the flash card. As for the keyboard test, it requires you to press all the keys on the keyboard in succession, from ESC across to ON, then from TAB across to right arrow, all the way down to +. Then it will say "OK" if all the keys work and you pressed them all. If you abort it, it will tell you that the keyboard is bad. -- Visit the HP200LX site at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 2 Nov 1997 11:26:06 +1300 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Lawrence Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Lawrence Subject: Psion <-> HP200LX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I like the thread about the various pros & cons of either and the concept (for most of us) of owning both. I run Windows on my Pentium at home, both 3.11 and 95, it boots into 95, but I have a floppy to boot into 3.11, I know about using F4 but I like to have the startup files for each seperate and it works for me. My point being, for ever since 95 has been out, I have been relentlessly installing and un-installing it, liking it's ability to take advantage of my 32meg and some of my favorite share/freeware is only for 95, but not liking the masses of files it scatters all over the HD. I like 3.11's simplicity and I like it's graphic interface much better (95 looks so FLAT!) This is an imperfect world and often the closest we can get to what we want is to have several differing iterations of a single concept. Obviously this ideal doesn't work in some arenas, relationships being one! Hardware, well it would be lovely if one could have a Palm Pilot, an HP200LX, a Messagepad 2000, a nose-bleeding notebook like the Tohiba Libretto and a supersonic desktop, but in the real world, the masses (us!) have to make do with just one careful choice, hence the compromise. Software is where this nirvana seems to be within everybody's grasp. By combining several packages, we can often get real close to exactly what we want. I personally run several dos-only packages, some 3.11 software and some 32bit 95 only programs. BTW, what happened to the promise of 32bit coding? I thought it was gonna be the nirvana of programming, taking full use of the abilities of the latest and greatest chips to bring us blinding speed... Just my 0.02 worth. Take care.

OK, obviously my home analogy was not a good one. I'll be more pragmatic now and less hypothetical. I just went to visit 2 "abandonware" sites that were referenced here recently. Each one is down. Obviously the people who were running the sites lack the confidence that was expressed here by some, that they were doing the right thing, otherwise they'd now be standing up for their convictions. Yes, obviously the legal thing is not always synonymous to the "right" thing, especially since the "right" thing can't always be defined unanimously. I myself have often wasted much effort trying to chase down a shareware author so i could pay him for registration, calling dead BBSs listed as registration sites, etc. Nothing is more frustrating than finding a great piece of shareware then not being able to get a registration key so you can run it un-crippled. I can sympathize with someone who might then be tempted to crack it in such situations. I think the bottom line is this, law or no law: if you can find the company who produced the software and get them to take payment, you should do so. However, if you find the software, then find the software company (or author) they refuse your money, then it's kind of hard to blame anyone for using it, however that would still be illegal for the copyright owners have every right to do what they want with the software, even kill it or let it die.

When you run it (in an empty temp directory) it will create about a dozen files including 3 versions of LIST; a small, a medium, and a large.

Could you tell > us where you get this one. I registered with Buerg back in '86 or '87, so this is the version he sent me on a floppy (5.25" even) back then. I checked http://www.shareware.com and found what looks like the same version. Search on "butil1.zip", this is 1 of 4 archives with a collection of his works dated '87. This version doesn't do any of the Filer-type operations of his later versions, but included the ability to re-configure for color (ie, "clone"), display in hex, search for text, and runs in 96K or RAM....which is pretty much all I want it to do. I find that when all my utilities start getting too many features 1) they take up more disk, 2) they need more RAM, 3) they run slower and take more keystrokes and 4) they start becoming redundant with respect to each other. OTOH, I don't know all the bells and whistles of his newer versions (aside from the Filer-type interface), so if someone can tell me what versions 7 - 9+ will do for me...? - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 3 Nov 1997 07:48:27 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Longden C.

General instructions for using Laplink to connect to a PC can be found at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp/faq.htm#12 Look there under the "Connectivity to desktop computers..." section for the files you need to copy.

Low cost flash memory (p. 15), including SunDisk compact flash with free Type II adapter In addition, I notice that some WinCE machines (Sharp's on p. 10) have speed keys to load apps which look similar to those on the 200LX. Also, there are increasing numbers of apps available for the WinCE machines on p. 16 (even a Quicken lookalike and a database program called Visual CE) and, as has been discussed here, a DOS emulator is in the works.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit What about a company that buys a competitior's product, so as to incorporate the technology into its own product line. Wouldn't they prefer that the consumer purchase their new software, rather than declaring the competitor's product to be freeware? Someone once asked Ted Turner why in the world he would want to colorize all those wonderful black and white movies he now owns as part of the MGM library. His answer went something like, Because I can - because they're mine. I paid a LOT of money for them, and I and other people would be interested in seeing the colorized version. Ownership of something means that you can do anything legal. Exercising your copyright powers over your property is certainly legal. For instance - Disney only releases its main animated features every several years. If I can't buy Snow White from Disney, do I have the right to bootleg all the copies I want until they release it again? What does that do to the profit potential of a re-release? I didn't make any profit, perhaps, but Disney has had a profit loss. I work for a company that produces software. Our biggest competitor right now is our old DOS version. If everyone decided it is now free, because we don't sell it, a lot of people would settle for the DOS product, since it is FREE. This would hurt sales of our Windows 95/NT version. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 3 Nov 1997 10:32:17 -0700 Reply-To: "bryan@onyxgfx.com" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bryan Pearson Organization: Onyx Graphics Subject: Re: ownership-why not? because its not the same!

It costs money to maintain expertise on old software. You have to retain the people who worked on it. You have to train technicians who signed on after the product was obsolete.

This is the author's blurb: The EARTHWATCH 3.5 program graphically displays a map of the world in color showing the 24 hour night/day cycle due to the earth's rotation, the monthly phases of the moon, and the earth's annual trip around the sun, showing the passing of the four seasons. Two separate programs are included: EWC (CGA graphics), and EWV (VGA graphics). A Mercator projection map of the world will slowly scroll eastward across the screen in real time as the continents move from pre-dawn darkness through sunrise, daylight, sunset, and back to night. You may choose from three map types: elevation, natural, or national boundaries. The shape of the daylight zone changes almost imperceptably from day to day as the seasons progress, showing shorter days in winter and longer in summer (for the Northern Hemisphere -- vice-versa in the Southern Hemisphere). Sunrise/sunset times and percentage of daylight for your designated city and date are calculated and displayed. The phase and position of the moon are also displayed numerically and graphically. The VGA version displays the Lat/Long coordinates and major city names as you move a mouse-driven cursor over the map. The Almanac screen displays additional ephemeral information including a comparison of sunrise/sunset times with the previous day's, the number of days remaining until the start of the next season (solstices & equinoxes), and more. Follow the sun's progress along its annual trek around the Analemma, the figure 8 pattern found frequently on globes that shows the sun's declination (apparent north-south excursions in the sky) and the "equation of time." The earth's 24 time zones are shown graphically, indicating the local time worldwide and whether that location is experiencing night, day, dawn, dusk, or anywhere between. You may highlight up to ten locations around the world to monitor the status of various cities, etc. All of this may be done accurately in real time or for a past or future date and time. The EARTHWATCH program will run on any IBM compatible PC equipped with CGA or VGA graphics support. ---------end of blurb--------------------- I installed this pgm on a 1 meg 200LX.

I'm speaking out of my line of expertise, since I'm neither Civil Engineer nor Surveyor, but it seems like it's not the size of the data but the type that'd be the limitation. I have Power Point presentations that would fit on a 1.44mb floppy, but that doesn't mean I can find an app that will drive them on an LX. If the laptop process, or MC5, or Ustation are Win/Win95 specific (no DOS equivalent), or are so processor/disk intensive as to make the LX an unworkable platform, I'd say your friend is "stuck" with his arrangment.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The consumer aircraft industry has a similar problem. They are in direct competition with the aircraft already in use. The average age of the national "fleet" (excepting military) is more than 30 years. I can understand the frustration programmers and software companies must feel, having to compete with existing software (which in some cases by the very nature of it's purpose, is better than what can be produced in modern OS). On the other hand, some devices do not need to be in competition. An example might be the small machine that injects the trace odor into natural gas. This device was in use for over 50 years _without_ any changes and most of them required no maintenance or attendance. An example of a piece of software not requiring change can be found in almost every automobile produced including an on-board fuel management "computer". (my Opel 1900, built in 1975 worked with out computer maintenance, or software "improvement" for 15 years before it was totaled.) I do agree with people who would "protect" an investment, even if they only intend to keep it off the market. I do however, encourage companies to continue marketing existing products, it's good for customer relations. I don't believe that just because something exists _everyone_ has a RIGHT to access. An example of this "right" concept taken to an extreme might be... assume you leave for vacation, say 2 to 3 weeks, someone notices that your house is "abandoned" and moves in... Or lets say you win the neighborhood holiday display contest and (fully intending to do the same display next year) your neighbor uses the same display the following season? He would say "well you didn't use it for a whole year...". Thanks for reading this, I have been thinking about this "abandonware" concept for the few weeks I have been reading about it on this list.

Leo, Where the heck did you get it from? Now if only someone can come up with Framework IV. To the others on the list...Framework is a DOS integrated package from the pre-windows era from Ashton-Tate (makers of dBase). With its quick response and unique outliner based orientation and programability (using the FRED language), it earned a dedicated following (yours truly included...I still run it on my P166), but was probably doomed by its lack of Windows/wysiwyg orientation...not to mention being discontinued by Borland when A-T was swallowed by them. BTW Leo, I run FW-3 on my 2x LX and it takes about 2.3mb on the PC card. I set it to use EMM and MaxDOS. Let me know if you need any specifics. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 3 Nov 1997 21:57:39 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Miguel Angel Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Miguel Angel Subject: Help for a begginer!

The discoloration that another writer had reported has started on mine, despite my best efforts. Inspection with a 30x magnifier (from Radio Shack, the store we love to hate :-) confirms that it's a line of tiny fractures. My practice has been to close the case like a book, with each hand fully covering each half, in an effort to balance force between the two hinge points. It has since occured to me that a more effective way of reducing stress on the region would be to apply the closing leverage as close to the hinge as possible. One potentially effective technique would be to curl the fingers of each hand under the keyboard, and draw the screen closed with the thumbs. I'll try it for a few weeks, and see if the fracture worsens. -Jim. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 3 Nov 1997 15:03:05 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Dan Ridenhour Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Dan Ridenhour Subject: Re: HP Flow Diagramming application!?

I think the problems come when people assume that because a product is no longer activiely marketed, then it is abandonware. It's not abandonware unless the copyright has been released into the public domain. Many companies may develop and release a product, then later pour many more resources (cash) into developing a better version of the same product. In order to facilitate their ROI, they may elect to no longer sell the older version in order to encourage sales of the newer (and probably more expensive) version. This is their right, and I think it's quite reasonable if they wish to do so. Otherwise it would not be worht their while to continue to develop better products.

OTOH, it may be that your LX pre-dates a manufacturing change from HP that may have resulted in the hinge problem. A friend of mine who uses his SG509.....(early '95) religiously doesn't have any crack (nor loose hinge). My SG449... didn't have any problems till 6 months after an Express Exchange (they tightened the hinge). Earlier posts made it sound like problems began somewhere in the mid-1995 lot of palmtops. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 3 Nov 1997 17:19:11 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ian Melville Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ian Melville Subject: Re: Xfer:Win95 to 200LX Comments: To: B Wills MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="__next_part__1056496095__" --__next_part__1056496095__ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Mon, 3 Nov 1997 09:29:25 -0400, B Wills wrote: bt> I managed to get these two talking via direct cable using the bt> built-in Win95 comm pgm (although it is terribly underfeatured) = and bt> datacomm in the 200.

RE: Gates buys Clinton REDMOND, Wash. - Oct. 21, 1997 -- In direct response to accusations made by the Department of Justice, the Microsoft Corp. announced today that it will be acquiring the federal government of the United States of America for an undisclosed sum. "It's actually a logical extension of our planned growth", said Microsoft chairman Bill Gates, "It really is going to be a positive arrangement for everyone". Microsoft representatives held a briefing in the oval office of the White House with U.S. President Bill Clinton, and assured members of the press that changes will be "minimal". The United States will be managed as a wholly owned division of Microsoft. An initial public offering is planned for July of next year, and the federal government is expected to be profitable by "Q4 1999 at latest", according to Microsoft president Steve Ballmer. In a related announcement, Bill Clinton stated that he had "willingly and enthusiastically" accepted a position as a vice president with Microsoft, and will continue to manage the United States government, reporting directly to Bill Gates. When asked how it felt to give up the mantle of executive authority to Gates, Clinton smiled and referred to it as "a relief". He went on to say that Gates has a "proven track record", and that U.S. citizens should offer Gates their "full support and confidence". Clinton will reportedly be earning several times the $200,000 annually he has earned as U.S. president, in his new role at Microsoft. Gates dismissed a suggestion that the U.S. Capitol be moved to Redmond as "silly", though did say that he would make executive decisions for the U.S. government from his existing office at Microsoft headquarters. Gates went on to say that the House and Senate would "of course" be abolished. "Microsoft isn't a democracy", he observed, "and look how well we're doing". When asked if the rumored attendant acquisition of Canada was proceeding, Gates said, "We don't deny that discussions are taking place". Microsoft representatives closed the conference by stating that United States citizens will be able to expect lower taxes, increases in government services and discounts on all Microsoft products. About Microsoft: Founded in 1975, Microsoft (NASDAQ "MSFT") is the worldwide leader in software for personal computers, and democratic government. The company offers a wide range of products and services for public, business and personal use, each designed with the mission ! of making it easier and more enjoyable for people to take advantage of the full power of personal computing and free society every day. About the United States: Founded in 1789, the United States of America is the most technically advanced nation in the history of the world, and has been a beacon of democracy and opportunity for over 200 years.

PAL Draw is a full Cad environment where you can place entities anywhere, size rotate, etc. The application im working on is a simple tile based system where tiles containing various symbols are placed onto virtual graph paper and auto sized and attached to the frame where they are placed. Then optionally each frame could link to additional text. A quick and dirty application to replace text drawing, and provided simple flowcharting, org charting tools. From what Ive seen PAL Draw is overkill for that task. No offense intended as it looks to be an excellent program.

Framework IV was the last version produced by Ashton-Tate before Borland canned it. It has a number of improvements over FW3, incuding the ability to read write to dBase III files on disk, use of fonts (bitstream and printer), and others. I am constantly amazed at how much Windows 3.1/95 have adopted Framework's features, and how many of the features would satisfy users of other s/ware commented on in this forum. But there's more - another company in the US has obtained the rights to Framework and is developing it further with Hypertext/HTML, Internet links etc, etc. Framework V is described at on their internet site at: http//www.framework.com They have a HP200LX Internet version of Framework V. As an avid fan of Framework (since FW2), I suscribed this Listserv to learn more about the HP200L which like to aquire, primarily to run Framework. I would I would also love to see a review of Framework V.

Apparently he filed a class-action suit on behalf of FW users against Borland when Borland decided to drop FW and says the outcome of the protracted legal battle resulted in FW development and marketing rights being given to him (tho how that actually works is unclear to me)....something for the "abandon-ware" advocates to consider. > They have a HP200LX Internet version of Framework V.

Having used FW for a LONG time, it was one of the first major app that I loaded to the 200LX. Having resolved space and performance problems by upgrading the LX (2x and 6mb plus EMM), I still find myself using FW less than the native apps for the simple reason that the native apps are quite good. FW is good for those times when I need to build a "folder" with a mixed bag of notes and spreadsheets, or for the occasional report for work. Its spell-checker/dictionary is probably used more than anything else (the definitions are better than those from Jorj...sometimes). If I had a 1000CX (the anorexic LX), FW would be my choice of things to run on it. > I would I would also love to see a review of Framework V. So would I, before forking over the $250 for a copy (plus added $100 for the palmtop version). Moshe also says the FW-4 version is available on the same CD, but I'd hate to pay that price considering the upgrade to FW-4 was originally only $99 (which included support and printed updated documentation). I don't think he offers a "try before you buy". - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 4 Nov 1997 11:48:42 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Peniel Romanelli Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Peniel Romanelli Subject: Customer relations MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable IMHO - The abandonware discussion has gone on long enough. The whole thing can be summed up simply: 1 The owners of software have a legal right to stop selling= it. 2 We have the right to resent their doing it. --------------- Businesses seem to have either of two very different attitudes. Either they choose to serve their customers, or service them. If you don't know the difference, visit a farm when they bring in a bull to do his thing... 8-) The good guys pay attention to the customers needs. If enough people want an older product to cut into sales of the latest release, maybe they should be recognized as a potentially profitable niche market. Most of us DOS palmtop folks aren't pirates or thieves - We'll buy the software if it's available. Just don't give us the corporate attitude that our market is irrelevant. If our potential market is so tiny as to be unimportant, then nothing is lost by licensing the older software to a third party. If, on the other hand, there's enough demand for= the old stuff to hurt sales of the new product, then this is a source of profit.

Software doesn't. Auto Defects are covered in recalls and warranties. If software is buggy or poorly documented, whose fault is that? I agree, dumb users should pay for help that's obvious, but where's the line between dumb users and poor documentation? Companies which have great support, have lines of users at their door. Obviously, helping them costs, but you get more of them... In any event, with abandonware, the idea is this: If a company is gone, it's ownership null, then it's no problem to use "abandonware." If a company exists, but no longer sells/ supports the soft, then it seems only logical that a person who has paid $$ for it, deserves to use it. If they can't use it because of bugs or poor documentation, then they get ripped off when there's no support. The company gave them a cheap product. In this light, they have a right to ask others for support, even if that means allowing a consultant to use the product to help them. If I put unsupported soft on the web to get assistance, I am doing nothing more than what is my right, as I see it. Well, it's just that I need the whole world to support the product in lieu of lacking official support. Got a problem with that?

There's a lot of serial communications code out there. Communicating with a modem is just a matter of serial communcation and a some extra control lines.

All my recharging revolves around the use of ABC/LX, but as I've only had them for a few weeks, I'm still groping to see what works best. One thing tho...when they drain down they take quite a bit longer than NiCd to recharge. Email me if you want more details.

I have two '94 200 LX's and one of them was floppy and wouldn't stay up when opened. No cracks, but still it was a pain to use. When someone said you could put isopropyl alcohol on it and make it stay up, I went and got some, put a few drops on, and sure enough, it stayed up! But it was still just slightly loose, so a few days later, I put more on, this time really drenching it in alcohol.. Now it's too tight! I can see I am really putting a strain on the case to open/close it, as the case kind of bends and creaks when I do this. Any ideas how to gently loosen this up without making it floppy again? I just don't want to develop a crack where there is none. Apparently the '94 versions don't get cracks, at least I haven't seen anyone comment on this so far, but it is so hard to open that I think I'm pushing the envelope! er, case! I'm afraid it's going to crack after all.

I have a 200LX and an old 95LX. I got hooked on HP stuff when I bought my first HP calculator in high school in 1975. It was a HP-25 that cost 195$. Anyway, I keep reading about "Buerg" in this group and I was wondering if it had anything to do with "Buerg Computers" which is a small mom and pop computer store 5 minutes from my house in Petaluma, Calif. that I sometimes buy stuff from. I went to their web site and sure enough it is the same place, the owners picture is even there. I just thought that was kinda funny. Back to business, I am very interested in the crack problem. Using my radio shack microscope (like the post from earlier this week) I too have a crack developing. I e-mailed one of the group members to get extra info on he dealt with it, and I have been carefully reading all of the other related posts (as well as all of the other posts). I am curious if anyone has any other suggestions on how to deal with it, perhaps things they tried which worked or didn't work. I am also curious to find out what HP has told those people who have called and asked for assitance to remedy the crack.

Tho' it displays only 4 colours, this seems to be invisible to the software. Ie any CGA program will run perfectly well; you just might not be able to distinguish all the colours. -- bren@cs.monash.edu.au Brendan Macmillan " People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.

To any normal program, the 200 has a CGA card. It runs in 640x200x2 mode or 320x200x4 mode, along with some straight text modes. The greyscales in 4 color mode and color text modes are simulated by flipping the pixels on and off very quickly -- this is rarely noticeable except in bright light and under flourescents. The bit-flipping is done in hardware and is of no concern to the programmer. So it's just CGA. The interesting part comes in with HP's extensions. For one thing, there's a nifty blinking hardware graphics cursor. This is what you see flashing in sysman applications. Remember the last time you loaded _Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire_ into Memo and tried to search for "peace"? The hourglass showed up but the cursor kept flashing. This is a funtion unique to the 200's display subsystem. Another part is their ROM BIOS video interrupt (INT 10h) extensions. There's a boatload of neat routines they added to speed up sysman and their applications. Anything from box drawing to the full sysman-style GUI is at your fingertips (providing you know where the ISR's are.) I have a huge interrupt list (I don't remember where I got it) that lists these routines. NO I CAN'T MAIL IT AS AN ATTACHMENT SO DON'T ASK. It's 5 megs, people! :) Well, anyway, I'll dig through that list and extract the interesting 95/100/200 interrupts and send them someplace (maybe SUPER) so all you programmers can have them. Have fun. . . BTW it's amazing to me that I can still be an active part of this list even though I don't actually have a 200 anymore. Maybe it was a bigger piece of me than I thought -- I know it through and through even though I haven't seen one for nearly a month. Well, you know HP, always making their products and indispensable (and very expensive) part of our lives.

You can only have a delay of its development. The only technique working is "not to open it", but then you will not be able to work.

It is about I.4-1.9 meg with the spell-check and a few printer drivers and the help file, so you could skinny it down from there. If you set up the video driver as detailed in the vid file, you can have print preview! I prefer it over WP5.1 'cos that just takes too much room and I don't like the interface. As I believe in abandonware (especially if it came from the MS camp!) I hope you find a copy or if you have trouble, email me and we may be able to sort something out... Take care.

Someone seems to be waging a FUD Ý= Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt¨ campaign to obscure the legal issues. The chief on in need of clarification, to me, is whether the existence of a "recent, e.g. Windows" version of something, qualifies as the "thing" Ýspecifically an ancient DOS version¨ being "available" as opposed to abandoned under CURRENT law. If it is "unavailable," then it is already legal to copy it, regardless of who holds copyrights, until the copyright holder chooses to make it "available" again. The above applies to copyright law only, and does not cover issues relating to patent protection, e.g. for the R.S.A. encryption algorithm. The problem with copyright law, is that it is based on ARTISTIC criteria, and functional criteria do not in principle apply. I.e. it is NOT in principle obvious whether the availability of a Windows version, might make the "artistic content" of the original DOS version still available, even though the Windows version will not run on one's system. The issues are fuzzy enough, and I have no definitive answers, without anyone running a FUD campaign. ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"

As far as I know, some users reported that they have problems with Filer App on System Manager, although it works fine if you work on DOS or if your exit SysMgr and restart it.

There is also the cost of supporting the product. And since DOS expertise is disappearing (if it was ever there) it would be more difficult to support.

"A lot of people would settle for the DOS product": these are your customers, why not sell the DOS version (profitably)? This whole abandonware thing got started because of companies deciding that their customers did not want DOS programs but ONLY the latest trendy stuff. I think those companies are wrong. Sell both, same price and direct mail order only for DOS if you think volumes are going to be low, charge for support too. Cheers, Tim Phipps.

You NEED a Windows machine with a PCMCIA slot to download the necessary driver for your phone to the EEPROM of the modem. It's too bad that SimpleTech shipped the cable with Windows programming software only... I had to load the software on my Omnibook 425 to get the card programmed for use with my Ericsson cell phone. Once I did that... the card worked great in the 200LX, land-line or cellular. However, no programming is needed if you choose to run the modem in a land-line only configuration.

I did however note that there is a screw boss on the interior if the lid near to the crack, and I suspect that this provides a strong section to t= he lid in that vicinity, thus forcing all the stresses to occur at the base = of the boss - hence the crack. I also noted that the plastic appears to be under most stress when closing the lid, hence the crack appears on the outside first. = All I could do was apply a little light lubricating oil to the right hing= e assembly from the inside to reduce the friction offered by the hinge and hence reduce the forces on the plastic (access from the outside after the= hinge cap is removed will probably work also). This appears to have worke= d well, as the lid now closes much easier and the plastic does not bend und= er the stress of closing. My hinge stiffness rating was probably a 5 before,= and is now a 2. I hope this provides a little help to those in the same situation.

I have the system manager apps in one session, dos games in another session (running under HDM) and WWW/LX and Post/LX running in a third session (also under HDM) - all on the C drive. I have had no problems, other than file manager is garbled whenever I switch back to it if I leave it open after switching to sessions 2 or 3 and then back. If I subsequently close it and reopen it, everything is fine. I am very pleased with software carousel. I could not interpret the instructions for MaxDOS well enough to get it working - they appear to be a poor translation from the Japanese.

I used SC/palmtop for awhile with a 2x/4mb LX. IMHO, it was more bother than it was worth and I switched to the simpler MaxDOS after awhile. SC was advertised as practically bullet-proof and several users asserted that they never locked up using it, but that wasn't my experience. The most troubling thing was the occasional corrupted data file that I never seemed to get before (or after) SC. Occurrences were infrequent enough to make it difficult to pin down the cause, especially when you're juggling 4 500k sessions around. However, I don't recall ever having a problem running more than 1 DOS session, tho there was a problem when the DOS session ran the DOSKEY command during its bootup. I sold my copy of SC. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 6 Nov 1997 09:17:38 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Peniel Romanelli Subject: Finding Earthwatch MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Jorgen Wallgren wrote: > I search gave me 1000's of sites related to "earthwatch", so please= be > more specific (where did you find the program?).

The "-l" option loads it and the "-r" removes it, so you're not gaining anything the way you're using it. The docs showed the example: maxdos -l 100 maxdos -r in order to show how to use MaxDOS while running SysMgr. You probably should try: maxdos -l c: buddy.com 200 maxdos -r I don't use Buddy myself, so I'm not sure what kinds of conflicts there are, or what the best order of loading is....I'm sure there's someone else here who can comment on that if you still need it. After you get the loading right, remember that you need to invoke 1ST READER using MaxDOS also, ie on the Path line for the icon: a:\bin\maxdos.com 1streadr.exe| or something like that. Also put the inverted ?

I use SC for about one and half a year and I never had a crash or a file corruption that I could make SC responsable for, so what you say is slightly surprising to me. And I cannot say that I use the palmtop only occasionally - the user timer on ABC/LX has crossed the 1000 hour limit many times :-) However, what I still feel a pain is that the screen is not restored properly when returning to a SysMgr section.

I haven't forgotten about this, I am looking for my instructions. The short form is... Make a copy of your appmgr.dat file. Move the copy to someplace where you can edit the file using a HEX editor. (Xtree or debug or something) Look at the structure of the file, you will see a repeating sequence associated with each entry in the appmgr.dat file. Now go to the palmtop and "move" one application from where it is to the end of the app manager screen. make another copy of the appmgr.dat file. Move this "new" file to the place where your "old" copy is. (you will have to rename the old one. Look at this "new" file. You will see that all but two characters "moved" with the icon you moved in the application manager. If you replace the characters that "moved" with (I think) 00 ÝHEX¨ the icon associated with the location you modify will be "erased". Do not change the length of the appmgr.dat file and do not remove the characters that don't "move". Good luck!

I tried @palmtop.com for a while and absolutely loved the service and the ease of use of ccMail mobile on the palmtop was unmatched, I could cut and paste from any app, leave mail open and pending thoughts, swap to and from all my other built-in apps and the send times were better than any other mail system I have tried. But, I live in Auckland, New Zealand, and using @palmtop.com was costing an arm and a leg to dial the US, although the connect times were faster than my Auckland based IP!! I wish more palmtoppers would get together & collectively buy a ccMail gateway and setup their own acces to the internet, it's not to difficult, just a little pricey for one person... I have heard Compuserve has a ccMail gateway, does anybody have any experience of this provider? Just my 0.02c worth!

Sure would be more elegant than this contraption I use now! The standard 200lx cable from HP *already* includes a null modem. You may want a second null modem to reverse the effects of the first (for example, to connect to a MIDI device); I made up a new cable, but it would be sensible to make up a little 9 pin null-modem. I *think* the wiring in the manual is sufficient.

Gdbio is a shareware program that converts your database or phonebook into a comma delimited file, that you may be able to import into your address book. I used it to import my complete phonebook into my outlook express address book. I don't have a 95lx so I don't know the answer to that question. I thought the 320lx came with a cdrom that had a converstion utility on it. Thats what I have heard anyway.

I probably should write up a little contribution to the FAQ on hplx<->MIDI connection; the question comes up every so often, and my answers surely vary in comprehensiveness. Anyway: lxmidi on the SUPER site is a good start. It plays midi files through the PC speaker and is VERY GOOD. But if you want to connect a midi device, get gsplay from SimTel. This program is also excellent and very small. All MIDI devices have a MIDI in (and out); but most recent ones also have a serial in, designed for a computer's RS-232 interface. Which is what your hplx has. It was maddening to not realise that hplx serial cable already contains a null modem; and THAT's why it wasn't working! But if you not only want to play existing MIDI files (plenty available on the web, BTW) but also compose your - as a kind of backing tape, for eg - then you need more software. I am writing an automatic composition program, so I'm creating the MIDI file with a C program. This is not the simplest way to compose, of course. However, all the programs I've seen are pretty poor. You might try "Band in a Box". This is perfect for accompaniment - like an electronic organ, it already contains many drum tracks, chord and bass riffs. Also, scan the SUPER archive for previous posts on this topic! :) -- bren@cs.monash.edu.au Brendan Macmillan " People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.

Staggs I was informed that a ccMail Post Office setup on a PC would cost around 1500 NZ dollars plus the obligatory GST. The latest versions of ccMail Post Office have a firewall to access the internet and "aparently" it is easy to setup. (I'm quoting here.) I had hoped that it would be possible to talk to the operaters of large orgs like universities, that had ccMail, and buy/rent access to the PO with no other access, ie: one couldn't wander around the network, just logon & do mail stuff, but I have had no luck with Auckland University yet.

Mostly, I charge them in tha palmtop. I don't let them get very low, so 6-8 hours of fast charging (ie overnight) twice a week is enough. I have a double speed machine, 20Meg flash card, and sometimes run my PCMCIA modem from batteries. I recently got an external charger from Radio Shack. It will charge them faster, and I don't have to have my palmtop "tied" to the AC adaptor during charging. The highest voltage my batteries reach while charging in the palmtop is 2.83. They drop some immediately when chargin is stopped, then "settle down" in the 2.5-2.6 range.

I have seen the cc:Mail packages for sale in computer stores for around a hundred dollars. This was just the basic post office and utilities without the client licenses. I am not sure if the HP200LX would act as the client licensee or if you would need to get some client licenses. The SMTP gateway from Lotus is dos base and I am not sure what it would cost. There are some NT type that would cost around $500 last time I checked. The hardware and the SMTP interface should be the most expensive part of such an operation. Then add in the monthly cost of phone lines and the IP provider.

After DOS is loaded, before starting >the PIM (or whatever), would it be possible to >"replace" the running OS (DOS) with another OS, or >is DOS "running" from ROM (in whole or part)? The short answers are "Yes" and "Yes". It is possible to replace DOS, and DOS is running from ROM. While you can't boot a different operating system on the LX (without changing ROMs), you can boot DOS and then boot to a different OS. Sort of like running Windows 3.x, except you can completely replace DOS instead of just running on top of it. Linux has a program to do exactly that, unfortunately since it is Linux it requires a 386 or better. As I mentioned in an earlier post to this list I'm considering porting Minix to the LX. Thus far, I haven't had the time or the spare flash card to do much in this direction. And the responses I have(n't) gotten from this list indicate that there isn't any interest out there in my doing this. Another possibility is ELKS, the Embedded Linux Kernel System, but it's an embedded system. If you want your LX to control your microwave oven and your VCR, it could be ideal.

You have to undo it( the built-in Null) for a modem. The correct usage for the the Null Modem cable, which is the way the HP cable is wired, is when you plug it directly into your desktop PC to tranfer data. Null needed for PC to PC and is Built in. Modem needs straight thru cable, so you need a null adapter to UNDO the Null built into the HP cable.

I don't know how many of you have realized that in all major tennis tournaments the umpire is using an HP200LX, all major tornaments except the biggest of them all :The Grand Slam Events, thats Wimbledon, Roland Garros, US Open and Australian Open They have some sort of connecion (Ethernet my guess) between the units they're using and a central system where all the media and TV commentators have the score in real-time from every match going on. Is there anybody using the palmtop for tennis related stuff ? I for example have a 1-2-3 spreadsheet with results from all competive matches I play (club level), so I can have a head-to-head display against all my fellow tennis players. I also have historical data from all the tornaments I play, which is very interesting for any player. I'd really like to devise a method by which I can collect performance data without having a third person stuck court-side counting my horrible mistakes :-) Any Ideas ? are IR input devices very hard to develop ? The only way I can think of such a solution would be to have a device like the car-alarm switching thingy (small, light, fits into your pocket, unobstrusive), if I could have a way to send 4 combinations and have the Palmtop read and collect that into a file, I could be in business.

If it is, then it will be safe for the LX. If you have a voltmeter handy, check the output voltage with no load. Unregulated supplies have much higher voltage than rated with no load. The LX is rated to accept 9.6 - 14.4 volts. BTW - Power supplies don't actually "output" current. The rating is= the MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE load on the supply. -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*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 7 Nov 1997 18:15:51 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , mdstockr Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: mdstockr Subject: Re: @Base and Lotus Agenda Comments: To: Shafik Mahomad Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII You can download the complete Agenda v2.0 installation diskette images from: http://www2.support.lotus.com/ftp/pub/desktop/Agenda/dos/2.0/misc/ There is also a utility at the Lotus site that allows you to take these images and create the needed installation disketttes. --- On Fri, 7 Nov 1997 22:17:31 GMT Shafik Mahomad wrote: >Where can one get his hands on old Dos software ? > >Specifically I'm interested in the 1-2-3 addin @Base and Lotus Agenda. -----------------End of Original Message----------------- ______________________________________________ "Michael Stocker" 11/7/97 6:13:39 PM EST ______________________________________________ -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 7 Nov 1997 15:49:52 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Longden C.

This thread about the phone database has gone on for awhile with alot of references to Yellow Computing and the Conn Pack....both of which cost $$. Is there any reason why you wouldn't want to use Palrun/DbView instead...I mean it's free! (Or did I miss something in this thread?)

The documentation that comes with NT names the files you absolutely need in the NT directory.

Some documentation on it follows: ABKCVT Convert HP-95LX Appointment book files to and from ASCII The HP-95LX Connectivity Pack provides a capability to convert Phone Book files to and from ASCII in CD1 format.No such facility exists, however, for the Appointment Book. The program ABKCVT fills that need. ABKCVT can convert Appointment Book files to an ASCII format --specifically, each record is converted to a series of fields separated by the TAB character. More importantly, however, ABKCVT can convert a TAB delimited file BACK TO Appointment Book format. Uses for this capability include: o Delete records in the beginning or middle of the file (the HP-95LX application can only delete "old" records.) o Do global editing on records in the file. o Easily add repeating appointments that don't fit the repeat types supported by the HP-95LX application. ABKCVT has two modes of operation: Command Line, and interactive. Command Line mode is used by typing the following command at the DOS prompt: ABKCVT Interactive mode is used by typing the program name only: ABKCVT You will be prompted for the input file name and the output file name. If the output file exists, you will be asked if you wish to overwrite the existing file. (In Command Line mode, an existing file will be overwritten without asking.) You can get a summary of use by typing: ABKCVT ? ABKCVT determines which way to convert from the file extension(s). A file name that ends in .ABK is assumed to be an Appointment Book file. Any other extension (or no extension) is considered to be an ASCII file. You must enter exactly one .ABK file. For example, to convert MASTER.ABK to MASTER.TXT, the command would be: ABKCVT MASTER.ABK MASTER.TXT To convert this file back to Appointment book format after changing it, type: ABKCVT MASTER.TXT MASTER.ABK If you use interactive mode, type the appropriate file name at the prompt. ABKCVT was written for use on either the HP-95LX itself, or on a host PC. Operation is the same on either. Note that if ABKCVT encounters an error in processing its input file, the output file will be incomplete. Therefore, you should make a backup of a file before overwriting it. The format of the TEXT file is described in comments included in the file itself. The HP-95LX has six data record types, plus a SETTINGS record. The format for each record type in the ASCII file is shown in a comment just before the first occurrence of that record type. Normally, the HP-95LX sorts the records by type, then by date within type. It is not necessary to sort records that you add or change; the Appointment Book application will sort them when it reads them in. Any questions should be directed to the author on COMPUSERVE, ID 73677,3414. This is a Shareware program. If you find it useful, a contribution of $10.00 would be greatly appreciated.

The 320LX does provide a program to translate files from the 100/200LX - but not for the 95LX. The sharware GDBIO also seems to be only capable of translating 100/200LX files. HP does not have a utility to translate 95LX files to 100LX files either; apparently the capability is built into the 100LX hardware. Unfortunately none of my friends own a 100/200LX... Any info would be apprecaited. Thanks. P/S. To a lesser degree, I'm also hoping to translate the 95LX appointment book (.ABK extension).

Doesn't sound right. I also use the RS HiCap NiCads, and get about 10-11 hours with a 12V SanDisk 15Mb card (JAMmed to 33Mb). Using ABC/LX charging stops at 2.87V. This drops to around 2.7V when charging stops, but with the adapter still connected. Without the adapter the batteries measure about 2.55-2.6V (by ABC/LX) right after charging. How much charge are they getting? The built-in software only charges at 100mA for 6 hours, then drops the rate to 40mA. How many hours of charge is the ABC/LX demo showing on the graph?

Jorgen -------------------------------------------------------------------- What do cc:Mail users need to connect to the hub? cc:Mail users need: = 1. A CompuServe membership 2. A modem 3. cc:Mail post offices require the cc:Mail Router 4. A script (7 lines, which will be available on-line) 5. The cc:Mail site must be registered with the hub. The registration process primarily asks for the name of the post office (or remote user) and the CompuServe User ID used by the cc:Mail site. = How does cc:Mail fit in with the other hub offerings? = With the introduction of cc:Mail support by the CompuServe Mail Hub, the hub is making more headway to becoming the central message routing mechanism for LAN email packages. While cc:Mail is very popular, MHS is also very popular, running a close second in the number of installed users. With the increasing importance of inter-company communication, and the variety of email systems available, providing a link between the two most popular LAN email systems allows these two communities to exchange messages easily and economically. The CompuServe Mail Hub routes messages among numerous mail systems such as DaVinci, Beyond, Notework, Reach, ExpressIt! and will now include cc:Mail. = How will support for cc:Mail be priced? = The price is the same for either MHS or cc:Mail. Access to the CompuServe Mail Hub carries a $5 per hour surcharge in addition to the standard CompuServe connect charges. = = Pricing(FREE) Pricing for the CompuServe Mail Hub: = When you use the administration program (GO CCMAIL) to establish and maintain your cc:Mail registration on CompuServe, you are billed standard CompuServe connect charges. = When you use cc:Mail to exchange messages, you are billed a surcharge of $6.00 per hour in addition to the standard CompuServe connect charges. = For example: = At any baud rate, the standard CompuServe connect rate is $2.95 per hour. When accessing the CompuServe Mail Hub, there is a $6.00 per hour surcharge, so the effective amount of the CompuServe Mail Hub is $8.95 per hour. This amount is billed in 1 minute increments, or about $.15 per minute. = There is no added expense for the number of characters transmitted. Your only cost is the time you are connected to the CompuServe Mail Hub. = Sending messages to other mail systems = There is no added cost for sending messages to CompuServe members, users of NetWare MHS, the Internet, MCI Mail, Infonet, Advantis, Deutsche Bundespost, ATT Mail 400, Western Union 400 or SprintMail. = There is a cost to send a message to a fax address. = GO RATES for details on the standard CompuServe connect charges. = = -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 7 Nov 1997 20:12:09 -0600 Reply-To: lcohn@ix.netcom.com Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Leslie Cohn Subject: Re: FS: HP200lx 6meg & goodies Comments: To: Julie Strietelmeier MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Julie Strietelmeier wrote: > > For Sale: > HP200LX 2meg palmtop that has been upgraded to 6meg. > Excellent condition, no scratches on the screen, hinges are perfect, case > latch is perfect.

MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Hello to everyone, I bought a new 200LX 4 months ago and I have hardly used it. ( It is my second 200LX.) I have been reading about the "hinge cracks" like the rest of you. When I first read about the crack problem I looked at my 200LX and did not see any crack on the hinge, although I imagined (I thought I was imagining it) I saw a very faint line on it at the place where the crack was supposed to be. Then I read the posting from the person who used his "Radio Shack" microscope to 'scope' out his 200LX for cracks. I thought that sounded like a good idea, so I used my nephew's (exact same) microscope and looked at my 200LX. I was saddened to see that my almost new machine also had the infamous crack right where the web site fotos show it occurring. The crack on my 200LX does not resemble a "crack" so much as a split in the material that started on the inside of the casing and has worked it way up to the surface. I have not called HP yet but I am planning to next week. So... if your 200LX does not have a crack on it (as some say) I am honestly happy for you, I truly wish none of our 200LXs had a damaged hinge or anything else, but.. you may want to check your 200LX with a magnifying glass. I am curious if HP will replace my unit. Anyway, so far the best self-fix remedy I have heard of is putting crazy glue on the crack in order to cement the crack shut. Since the 200LX's plastic case gets deformed (melts?) when it comes into contact with crazy glue I am still thinking about this option. If you have tried any other types of remedies please post them. If you have already posted them and don't want to re-post them perhaps you could e-mail me a copy of the old posting. Has anyone in this group contacted HP about these hinge cracks and gotten any constructive suggestions?

Most seem to get the infamous crack several months after purchase. Mine cracked at around 5 months.

Turn the palmtop off. Hold down the ESC key while turning it on. You can now select tests from the menu. The serial port test requires connecting some of the pins to each other, so you can't do it without more equipment. The RAM card test is for SRAM cards, not Flash cards. It can trash Flashcards. The keyboard test requires pressing the keys in order. Start with ESC and go across to ON, now do TAB across to Right Arrow and so on until you get to +.

It's Visual Basic for DOS without the extra fluff. So is PowerBASIC -- it's a very good interpreter/ compiler, and it costs a little over $100. They've got a trial version called FirstBASIC which is a fairly good subset of PowerBASIC but doesn't have file loading capabilities -- you can only make small programs which can be typed in one session. . http://www.powerbasic.com QuickBASIC is very good if you can find a copy; not much anymore since abandonware disappeared. Steer clear of anything before 4.0, though. 4.5 is best. Anyone know a place where you can get QBX 7.0? That was in my opinion the best BASIC implementation they ever made.

I have been trying to get this to work for a month. Last night, I got it to work. Here's what I learned. I'm using a Compaq Armada 1590. No amount of fiddling with the Compaq IR drivers seemed to work. The magic occoured when I removed the Compaq drivers and then reinstalled the ones from HP. Here's what I did: Start..Settings..Control Panel..System. Then choose the Device Manager tab. Goto the Infrared section and delete the driver. Also delete any infrared drivers from the ports section. Reboot. When your machine reboots, it will find the new hardware and want to install infrared drivers. Pick the HP ones. Reboot again. Fire up Transfile Win 200 or W32Filer. Now, here's some more magic - there are two infrared ports. One is a "raw" port, and one is an IRDA emulated port. On my machine, com3 is raw and com1 is the IRDA emulation. I pick com3. Then I put my HP200 in IR Filer mode and zap, I'm connected!!! It works great! I'm very happy. No more cables!

Value is aprox: 50$ for the HD and 15$ (50 if you wanted it new) for the adapter. I would like to trade it for HP200LX stuff.... such as: HP connectivity cable + cash 2 HP connectivity cables. Ram card of any kind (FLASH, SRAM etc, prefer SRAM). PCMCIA Modem with X-jack type connector (any speed starting at 2400bps, prefer faster than 9600). Any other "cool stuff" to attach to/use with the HP200lx considered... The HD has what I assume to be the "standard" 2.5" connector (about 40 pins in two rows, middle of bottom row has a two pin space) and the adapter allows you to plug this HD into an Ascentia J20 laptop (so you can swap HD's quickly). If you have an Ascentia J20, everything is peachy, if you don't, you may need to get whatever type of adapter your laptop needs. (If you are replacing a smaller drive, you can probably use the adapter your current drive is using). The HD currently has Linux on it, but you can re-partition and put any OS you want on it.

I get the functions from a program called SERIAL.C (Do you know it?) *the clock interupt: I use it in order to control if a byte arrives to the port during a certain time.

Like all NiCds, they put out only 1.2 to 1.25 volts each, so if you're getting a voltage reading of more than 2.4 to 2.5 vots for the pair, you've got some really good ones! The important number (and what makes them so long-lasting) is the milliamp/hour rating. HiCaps are rated at 850 mAh, whereas regulars NiCds are only 500 or 600 mAh if I remember correctly.

Perhaps one could switch back and forth using alt-f1 ala Linux. ??? Another great feature would be to have hooks from unix into the LX appt database with cron. Sound cool?

From: Phil Drummond Subject: Removing unwanted "permanent" Applications from the APPMGR.DATfile. Comments: cc: "pdrumm@pagenet.com" Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I tried to find my previous work on removing unwanted "permanent" apps but was unable to do so. So in an attempt to recreate the procedure I found a simpler way to do it. I was not able to find a way using built-in software (unless you know how to use Debug, I don't). The following is a list of locations or "addresses" for each application in the APPMGR.DAT file. A four step process is used to remove an application (permanent or non-permanent). 1.) Edit the APPMGR.DAT file using the instructions below. 2.) Replace the existing APPMGR.DAT file with the new (edited) file. 3.) Restart the palmtop without letting the PIM "see" the new file. (I am not sure this step is required, but I am a little paranoid about messing around in my palmtop, so I do this to be safe.) 4.) Remove the "remnant" Icon from the Application Manager's screen. APP offset --- ------- 01 003 hex The list of HEX addresses to the left are the locations 02 076 hex of the first character in each application "slot" in the 03 0E9 hex APPMGR.DAT file. The next 114 characters comprise the 04 15C hex "content" of one application listing or "entry". 05 1CF hex 06 242 hex Step 1. 07 2B5 hex note: back-up back-up back-up! 08 328 hex Transfer your APPMGR.DAT file to where you intend to do 09 39B hex your editing. Open the file and find the application you 10 40E hex want to remove. Using the list to the left, find the starting 11 481 hex point for your chosen application. Example: I found Setup 12 4F4 hex listed as &Setup at location 73E hex. The closest value 13 567 hex from the list that proceeds this address is 733 hex. This 14 5DA hex location (733 hex) is the starting point for the application 15 64D hex (Setup in this case) in this "slot". To complete step one, 16 6C0 hex change 734 hex and all the characters following, up to but 17 733 hex not including 7A6 hex to 00 (hex). 18 7A6 hex 19 819 hex Step 2. 20 88C hex Delete the APPMGR.DAT file from c:\_dat in your palmtop. 21 8FF hex Copy the new (edited) APPMGR.DAT file to the c:\_dat 22 972 hex directory on your palmtop. Do not access the Application 23 9E5 hex Manager with this new APPMGR.DAT file! 24 A58 hex 25 ACB hex Step 3. 26 B3E hex Reboot your palmtop or start the PIM (type 200). 27 BB1 hex 28 C24 hex Step 4. 29 C97 hex Press "&..." (More "blue" key) and look for the application 30 D0A hex you intended to remove. In it's place you will see an Icon that 31 D7D hex has no program name and might not even be the Icon that was 32 DF0 hex in that location before you started. Press the F4 key to 33 E63 hex delete this "bogus" Icon. You may now install another 34 ED6 hex application using the normal installation methods. 35 F49 hex 36 FBC hex 37 102F hex I am open to questions, but send them to the List, it might save others from asking the same thing.

This should be in ROM. Otherwise use LXPro to select the way of serial comm. from your HP. (see S.U.P.E.R.-sote) On your notebook you'll need to set up the IR-port. This may give some problems. If you are using Win'95 see the file W95IR.EXE. You can use this file after you have setup the IR-port in the bios. Afterwards you can install the HP-connectivity-pack, or from the super-site w32____. (don't know the exact name). Hope this helps.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi! Please, it's not a message against our HPLX palmtop but just an idea to compliment our HP. Anyone with more USR PalmPilot experience can do a list with pros and cons of this machine? Because my client have been showing it for me and later I have been in a PalmPilot shareware web site and with a lot of software. (maybe the bigger software base of any palmtop except HP ) Personally, the PalmPilot would be a perfect companion to HP for it's size and (most important) it's backlighting. It's annoying see phone database of my HP while driving my car at night. (sometimes in daylight) Until now the cons of Palmpilot discovered by me are: -Lack of PCMCIA -Memory upgrading to 4mb max. internally and nothing externally. -Lack of IR port. And the pros are: -Very cheap!!! -A lot of the software with GUI type menu. -Obviously BACKLIGHTING!!! -Very little to fit my shirt pocket. -Easy file sync on Win95 and Mac only.(I would like to do it between my HP and my future PalmPilot) -Acceptably quick! But I hate others palmtop like: -WINCE: because I4m very alergic to Windows from 1989. (I'm a die-hard Mac user and my connectivity Pack is running from an Powermac 4400 with VirtualPC emulator software.) :-) -PSION: A Sharp or Casio but a bit better? Yes!!! -NEWTON: Very big and It's a torture to typing on its little onscreen keyboard. And the common things of above are that they have very little software base. It would be a great idea something like a transfer software between both palmtops; HPLX and Palmpilot. Thanks a lot and long life to HPLX..! Pablo KIM hyunspak@movi.com.ar PD: Although one day is going to appear a "very powerful" palmtop my HPLX then and forever will be settled on my office desktop to serve me at least like a Remote control, Alarm clock, Calendar, Agenda or Tetris game machine.

Most seem to get the infamous crack several months after purchase. Mine cracked at around 5 months. I see from your serial number that it's a '97 model so it's fairly new, and maybe it's just a matter of time...

I've tried to run Acad 2.6 and R10 on the HP200LX with no luck because of the nonstandard CGA mode. Selecting an EGA driver gives the text menus, but no graphics area. I've checked out Draft Choice, but there doesn't seem to be any equivalent to the ACAD ID command, which can identify points of intersection and radius centers which I need for CNC programming. It seems to me an AUTOLISP HPLX driver might be possible, but I know nothing of that language. I checked out Paldraw, too, but that seemed useless to the point of futility.

Hi Ian & group- This is easy with JAM. During creation of the JAM archive one of the parameters is the archive size. On the palmtop, the uncompressed part appears as drive A: - the compressed part becomes the first free drive letter (usually F:).

You can transfer info from notes and memo files to Info Select using a utility called "clipvue", which I think is on the SUPER site. It uses the HP's clipboard "cut and paste" function in conjunction with InfoSelct's Disk Import function. (You can go the other way as well from IS to Memo, etc.) I haven't tried it but I suppose you could use the "clip" function to copy PDB, GDB files to IS in the same way.

I bought Desqview direct from Quarterdeck a few years ago to run my BBS on. I later upgraded to Desqview/x for the BBS (a whole 'nother story and a FANTASTIC program). I don't think it's been too long since I've seen Desqview in Computer Super stores but I'm not sure if they still market it. You can find out all about Desqview in the FidoNet DESQVIEW echo. I never used Software Carousel so I can't compare them directly but from what I've read I expect DV is the more capable program. On my BBS I can have 4 BBS nodes running, each in a separate DV window, PLUS two DOS windows open, all at the same time with very good performance. My version of Desqview is 2.70 which I believe is the latest version.

If I recall properly, what Stacker really does, is creating a new compressed drive, and then ,swapping the real -uncompressed- and compressed drive letters. What I really dislike of Stacker is the obscure way it does it. I actually use JAM. Seems an excellent piece of software to me. Yo must do all manually, but because of that, you have total control over the configuration. This is, of course, for people willing to read the manual. What you do with JAM is, basically: installing the device driver, with support for N drives (N as many as you want, but as low as possible in order to save memory), then mount the drive (at this point you already have access to a NEW drive letter, the compressed drive), and last, and only if you want to, swap drive letters. The drive letter swap utility lets you do almost ANYTHING, you can exchange ANY drive letters, not only pairs pertaining to a real and compressed drives. JAM is solid. Had no problems at all in months of intense use. And, -very important for me-, uses only 25K of RAM, agains over 40K of Stacker. Regards.

If you look at a graph of NiCad cells discharge curve, you'll see that they maintain almost a constant voltage through the cycle - between 1.2 and 1.25V. The "knee" where rapid decline starts is at about 1.1V. The= 2 cells in the palmtop have probably barely started the useful part of the cycle when reading 2.45V.

Phone number in the US is201-342-6518. I think it is not available from any of the resellers. Ibet the only reason MicroLogic keeps selling it is because they haveextra copies still available of it. I bet once those copies are sold,the DOS version will no longer be sold. As to the second question, there are a couple of ways you could dothis. You could use the DB Convert command which will convert each lineof an ascii file into a separate window. Another idea would be cutitems, use Clipvue to put them into a text file and then use the importcommand to move them into a window. If you had some sort of advanced DOSmacro facility (I think a few have been mentioned on the list before)you could automate this function. > Peter Maddern >I'd be grateful for any answers to two questions:- >1.

And also if >there is a problem with priorities I needed how to set them. > > Thanks in advance to everybody The serial communciations library I programmed and I'm using extensively at the moment, uses the timer IRQ (IRQ 0, INT 08h), and whatever interrupt it's configured for the serial port (usually, but not always, IRQ 4, INT 0Ch for COM1 and IRQ 3, INT 0Bh for COM2). That library works with absolutely no problem both in my desktop and in the HP200LX. As far as I know (and I do a lot of low level programming), there's no tricky difference between interrupts implementation in the HP200LX and a normal PC. It's got a 8259 interrupt controller like a PC. There's some tricky stuff about how the keyboard interrupt is generated and processed, and there are some special interrupts, but nothig of that should affect the interrupt processing for the IRQs you're using. 1- Check that the COM port is enabled under dos (go to the Setup). 2- Check that COM1 address is 3F8h and IRQ is 4 (Setup also). There's something else: serial port initialization is quite tricky according to my experience. Depending of how you do it, It may or may not work depending on the previous port state (or even previous interrupt controller state). And normally, it's determined by BIOS' own initialization routines. Maybe your initialization routines are't fine. I've had tons of headaches because of this, but at the moment I'm pretty sure that I do it properly (that library I mentioned has been fully tested for months in at least 10 different machines, including the 200LX). I cannot release the library nor the source because it belongs to my company (it's part of my work), but if you submit me your code, I'll have a look to it, or could send you the initialization part of my library.

The >idea is to provide an output for fairly static information without >monopolizing the system's main display. Comments would be appreciated. TTL mono monitor? You wouldn't be monopolizing the system's main display, you'd be monopolizing the processor. You might be able to do it but it would require such precision in timing and so many resources it wouldn't be practical. If you updated the display the normal 50 times a second, in particular. Even though those monitors are fixed-sync, you might be able to drop the speed to 25 times a second, but it would still monopolize the processor beyond belief. My comment is, go out in some mainframe guy's backyard and pick up an old terminal. It hooks up to the serial port and runs great as a second character display for Unices. I have the monitor half of a Televideo 925 (or was it 950? I don't remember...) and it works great. 9600 baud max speed, as I recall. Plus, you can use it with the 200LX if you need a soft copy or even running information for your own programs. I was at the University of Wyoming a few months ago, and they had a full Tektronix graphics terminal just sitting there, waiting to be junked. If you live in a university town, you're probably in luck. They're always junking old stuff. Just my $.02 -- and I know it ain't related to the 200 much but it kind of strikes a chord in me...

All I did was copy my DV Install diskette to a temp directory on my flash card, then ran INSTALL /M. I did not do a lot of testing with it, just brought it up, added a couple apps that I use often like VDE, New Sweep, 1st Reader, and System Mgr. When I started System Mgr I ran Filer to check, and it worked fine. It DID garble the screen in Sys Mgr after a while but the damage was contained in that window, the other window I had open was fine. I tried Lotus but did not have enough memory for that, but feel I could have gotten around that with some tweaking. Keep in mind I'm using a 8meg double speed 200LX with TREMM as the expanded memory mgr. I never tried DV with my 1MB 100LX. Again, since I now have MaxDos working I'm happy enough to just use SysMgr, since everything I run now runs in SysMgr. DV IS a great program though and I couldn't do without it on my BBS machine.

Any sugestions? > Bas Pruijn pruijn@few.eur.nl http://surf.to/pruijn Hi Bas I have NetTamer V8pt (smaller than 9/10) dialing my ISP via a motorolla Startac on a APEX ClipperCom World 33.6 Modem (at 9600 cellular speed) Initially I had script time out and no dialout Set Reader Com to dial=ATD,T and speed 9600 If the script fails after the connection maybee the script is waiting for the wrong text from your ISP. To check your script go to DataCOM on your HP200lx and connect the modem to HP & Phone. Dial (ATDTxxxxxxx) xxx=your ISP number and watch what the screen says. Is the prompt "Login" or "Username" or something else? Alter your script to match e.g. WAIT ogin: or WAIT name: Type in your login/username & watch how long before the next prompt appears. Its usually Password: your script will say WAIT word: you may need some delay between WAIT word: and BLAST Password$ try DELAY 10 then watch the words after you give your password They may give an IP address or some such thing as "in PPP mode..." Select part of these words for the next part of your script -something like WAIT ppp: then my script has PPP as the last line Check out the big selection of scripts that comes with the full PT version (not update version) and modify one to suit.

Just set up a SmartClip in each database (appt, phone, and other .gdb files) similar to the following: field1 field2 field3 field4 field5 note -- The fields can be in any order that you desire...the "secret" is the "--" on the last line of the SmartClip. Now, just "print" your entire database to a text file, using the SmartClip that you just defined as the custom style. You may now import the text file into IS using "Disk Import" and then "Other Split". The Other Split command will use each "--" as a delimiter and separate each original record into a separate IS window.

Wolfenstein is now freeware. Even the sources are available. But don't even think about running it in the HP200LX.

Installing the JAM driver in CONFIG.SYS (just about the same configuration than in your 200LX) should be enough. Windoze recognizes any DOS drives available at boot time, so, should do with the JAM drive. DIDN'T TRY IT MYSELF. JAM has a quine nice feature also. If you keep your JAM drive optimized, you can resize the compressed file to the minimum amount (this is, the real space that files in the JAMmed drive use), back it up to your desktop (less transfer time, since all data is already compressed), and finally resize the compressed file to it's original size. Very fast for backups. My current configuration is: HP200LX 4MB (3MB JAMmed), 10MB ATA flash card (100% JAMmed). JAM uses 25K of memory. Regards.

I often browse through the ELKS homepage, I haven't found out, if it could be used as a small Linux, but they claim to develop it also for palmtops. I have the idea that ELKS could replace WinCE like Linux is a free replacement for WinXX. It could be a great platform on different processors with lots of already existing software. I wonder if the PAL lib could be ported to ELKS. However, these guys are not very far at the moment, I am afraid. Unfortunately I am not the right guy to do operating system programming.

A while ago there were some comments about how neat the Yellow Computing CD-ROM is. The retail price on their web site is 69 DM (about $40 if you check on your HP Calc). I dunno what shipping cost to the US is on that. Samson Cables is mainly a dealer in HP48 calculator cables. However, they also carry Yellow Computing's HP48/95/100/200 shareware CD-ROM (does not include Transfile or the HP PIM). I asked if I could order Yellow's HP Palmtop Software CD-ROM (the one which includes the HP PIM and Transfile), and they told me they could get it for $35 plus 10% shipping in the US. The catch is that since this is not a normal product for them, it would take "several weeks" to get it. If you're not in a hurry and you're in the US, it seems like a good deal (save maybe $5-10?) and you don't have to mess with overseas shipping. Incidentally, the HP48/95/100/200 Shareware CD-ROM looks pretty neat if you have an HP48 or HP95, and it's only $15.95. To order from them, you can submit secure email at: https://muffet.com/cgi-src/secure.html Just tell them you want to order the Yellow Computing HP Palmtop Software CD-ROM for $35 + 10% shipping 1st class in the US. They take credit cards. I just submitted my order yesterday, and they told me it would be about 3 weeks before they got the CD-ROM in. Samson's web page is at: http://muffet.com/samson/index.html I have no connection with Samson except that I hope to be a satisfied customer in a month or so. J. P.

My server's SCSI disk was being identified by the controller but would not spin up. Since I knew it was trash anyway, I popped the top off the drive case and tethered it to the server with its power and SCSI cables attached. I laid it atop my toolbox so I had good access to the platters and hit the power. Sure enough, the drive was jerkily trying to start, but then would die. By reaching in and spinning the platters by hand repeatedly, it finally caught and spun up. It's still sitting there running its little heart out and giving up all that yummy data. :) Mitch -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 12 Nov 1997 18:55:32 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Christof Sender: HPLX Mailing List Comments: Authenticated sender is From: Christof Subject: Re: S.U.P.E.R.

Hi all, Thought I would ask this question to some of the tech savay members of this forum. All of the discussion about charging batteries started me thinking about other options for a having a fully controlable battery charger and I started looking at DC Power supplies with metered current and voltage control. I've seen these units for sell for about $200 which right off seems kind of step but if you spread the use to other duties like for replacing Ac adapters then it isn't quite so high and I have spend at least that much on various ac adapter and battery chargers. What I like about these units is I can set the charge amperage to whatever range I feel comfortable with. I was thinking of using this with a temperture sensor connected to the outside of the battery and when the temperture rises a set limit have it cut off the charging. I was wondering if anyone has done this or has any input about my idea. Thanks for any help on this matter.

The depate of which is the longest lasting battery for our palmtops has been a common occurance here and stories about some memebers getting 14hr and other only getting 5hr from the same brand and model battery has been a complexing mystery. Some of our reasoning for explaining the difference have been usage pattern, type of flashcard if any, charging methods, battery age, overcharging, etc. etc. etc. but their may just be another factor involved that none of use have ever considered. That factor is voltage. Now this may seen like a simple answer but in fact as the article on camera batteries points out it isn't. This may get a little long winded but hang in and it may just start a light bulb in your mind like it did mine. I am going to start with the example used in the article about camera's as it easier. You have a portable camera that is rated to run at 12v so you go out and by a 12v battery right? The answer is WRONG! The voltage you see listed on a battery or even single cells is their nominal voltage. Which is rather deceiving to say the least. Every battery or for that matter every single cell has a range of voltage that it operates through as it goes from a full charge to a discharged. So that 12v battery has a range of say 13.2-10v which is fine execpt your camera shuts down at 11v. So what's the big deal it's only one voltage difference?? That one volt can make a huge difference if your battery operates for say 30-40% of it's life at the 11-10v range. So when you camera says the battery is in fact "dead" it still has a major portion of it's usable capacity that you camera can't get to. So now that the battery is "dead" you pull it off and recharge it. If you are luck enough to have a very smart charger then no damage done but most of us don't so you drop it in and now you end up overcharging the battery and damaging it in the process and you end up doing this over and over and over again because it is the wrong battery for you camera. But it says the camera take a 12v battery! Now that isn't true either. Every electronic device is design to operate through a servicable range of voltage if this wasn't true then our 12v battery would never work in the first place because it's voltage changes through it capacity cycle. Now the camera is design to operate at 12v but it's servicable voltage range is 14.4-11v. So the solution is to find a battery that has a servicable range that as closely as possible matches the camera's. This means that instead of a 12v battery you in fact need a 13.2v battery which has a usable voltage range of approx 14.4-11v. Now when the camera say the battery is dead it is in fact at the end of it's stored capacity. Now on to how this applies to our palmtops Nicad and NiHm battery are rated at a nominal voltage of 1.2 or their abouts. Now our palmtop can opperate at 3.0 (I don't now what the upper limit is and I'm not going to risk damaging my baby to find out) thru 2.3v (but at this low end you have to put of with consant low battery warning). Now with alkaline they run from their 3v to 2.3 and are dead you replace them but with rechargables that not the case and now the headaches starts. Two Nicad or Nihm have a rough voltage range of about 2.7-2v. Yes 2v is the point at which these sets of batteries are actually considered "dead" not the 2.3 which our palmtops stop working. So with every cycle we end up wasting precious capcity of our batteries because they are not the right cells for the palmtop. They work but not to their full capcity. To make things worse every rechargable battery has a slightly different range of voltage that is operates through. Even if they are the same make and lot number these these cells hav never been tested or matched. So Joe has RS Hi-cap Nicad and get 14hr of use per charge but Joan has the same thing and only get 6hr. Part of the difference of course are all the things listed above but another difference that we don't know about (and can't test with out expensive specialized equipment) is the fact that Joe's batteries have a happy voltage range of 2.75-2.2 and have most of their capcity at 2.42 while Joan's are happy to run a range of 2.67-2.15 and they have most of their capcity at 2.29v which doesn't do her a whole hell of a lot of good when that is outside the palmtops happy range. What we need is a set of batteries that have a happy range of 3.0-2.3v with most of their capcity at around 2.5 or so. The problem is such a thing doesn't exsist well not quite. I have found a web site that is supposed to in the development stage for rechargable Lithium AA cells which is kind of a trade off. These cells have a voltage range of 3.0-2.6 approx. but their are problems that is the rating for a single cell not a pair and the capcity is only about 750ma per cells. One possible solutions involve using a single cell and a spacer or rigging the battery comparment to run a pair in parallel not series (not to difficult couple of wires and remove the middle metal bridge) but their is no way you will ever be able to charge then in the palmtop top. That is unless you want to take the chance of make your palmtop computer into a desktop BOMB!!!!!!! So members what possible solutions can we come up with. One is to find a hobby store that specialize in battery powered models and has thought it worth while to spend the money to buy a battery matching machine. (Buy 16 set of rechargable take them in have then tested and only keep the good ones for our palmtops). Two try these new Lithium rechargables as soon as their available (of course you also have to buy another specialized charger :-( )))) Three wait unitl someone actually designs a decent battery Four in the mean time grin and bare it. Well that all for this tyrade Happy Happy Joy Joy Angelica Oh almost forgot for those who want to know more about the Lithium AA's their web site is http://www.tadiranbat.com bug them if these things are to over priced I would like to try ;-) -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 13 Nov 1997 08:40:09 +0000 Reply-To: collib@atom.forensic.sa.gov.au Sender: HPLX Mailing List Comments: Authenticated sender is From: Barry COLLINS Subject: Re: ÝFLUFF¨ CE Everywhere!

You enter the info into windows on the screen - think of them as slips of paper - which take their place in the current "stack" (database) in as-entered-order. You can also grab info from other applications and import info from other files. You can move the windows up - down - to top- or to bottom of the stack or even to another stack. You can join two windows together - split a large window into two or more smaller ones You can browse through them and they will be displayed like so many slips of paper on a desktop - as many as will fit on the screen are shown at one time. Searches will gather all windows which match into a "search stack" - (subset). The analogy of a stack of slips of paper - or index cards (of any size to fit the data it holds) which you can sort - search - slice and dice any way you want gives you an idea of what the program is like. You can handle more structured data by creating forms and using them when creating a window. These can be very simple or as complex as you care to make them. You can use line drawing in forms and windows. You can set up windows with date and time stamps - enter info on your project or job - then time stamp when completed and you have a simple way to record time for billing purposes. Pretty long for a brief description - but it still doesn't begin to tell what you can do with this versatile program - It should be clear that it's for different jobs than a structured dBase type program.

I bet once those copies are sold,the DOS version will no longer be sold. 8>< snip... -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml begin 600 WINMAIL.DAT M>)\¬(AD5`0:0" `$```````!``$``0>0!@`(````Y 0```````#H``$(@ <` M& ```$E032Y-:6-R;W-O9G0@36%I;"Y.;W1E`#$(`0V ! `"`````@`"``$$ MD 8`) $```$````,`````P``, (````+``\.``````(!_P\!````2 `````` M``"!*Q¬DOJ,0&9UN`-T!#U0"`````$A03%@@36%I;&EN9R!,:7-T`%--5% ` M2%!,6"U,0%5#3TY.5DTN54-/3DXN1415`!X``C !````!0```%--5% ````` M'@`#, $````9````2%!,6"U,0%5#3TY.5DTN54-/3DXN1415``````,`%0P!

I use 2x NiMh AA fromn Shier/SSS http://www.shier.com/ They have just had their 1st birthday like the great crew at SUPER (Thanks) and they are still going strong. Originally I was going for the longest time between charges and running them down before charging. Sometimes at the end of the charge the LOW bat warning meant I had to change batteries away from home which meant carrying spares! but then it hit me - just who do these batteries think they are to get so mollycoddled! Most days they run at 2.6-2.45 on the meter. I set up ABC/LX (also from Shier) to start charging at 2.59v . The log shows the re-charge climbing steadily to about 2.85 max and time out as ABC/LX is set to stop at 2.99volts (drive those NiMh harder than 1.2v/cell NiCad) Yes, you shouldnt treat them so rough! but every night I plug the 200lx in and most times ABC/LX beeps & charges and is finished in time for the wake up alarm. The batteries NEVER say low and I have not carried any spare batteries for the last 10 months.(ok there are a Pr of lithiums in the car for insurance!)Plus the NiMh have the grunt to run a cell modem rated at 157Ma. What all this means is no worry about batteries and just use the HP charger Cheers John mailto:palmtop@ihug.co.nz -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 12 Nov 1997 06:11:08 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Glen Bergs Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Glen Bergs Subject: Re: Visual Basic for Dos MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable No sorry that definition won't work there is a Visual Basic for Dos ver = 1.0.

This is something new, I haven't seen it before anyway. The thing is a DC power supply would require a lot of computation on your part. That may be fun, but this guy would rather just hook it up and forget it! In fact, I've had a ten amp battery charger here at my business in Los Angeles that does that quite nicely. When the battery is fully charged, the needle "bounces" on zero, indicating so. Some batteries charge very rapidly, being new, some take all day. But it's all automatic. I value this charger so much that I have repaired it about five times in 19 years. Putting on new cords etc. Nothing else ever went wrong with it, but the plastic handle broke off, so I put a steel strap in it's place.. It was brand new, and about the size of a six amp battery charger, and somone was charging his VW bus in a parking lot with it.

I though it wouldn't run on a 286 (now that I think, by that time I had a 286, and I played it). The sources can be found at: ftp://x2ftp.oulu.fi/pub/msdos/programming/gamesrc/wolfsrc.zip Anyway, I remember that the sources don't come with the data (graphics, sounds, etc...) files, so, you'll need them too from the original game (which maybe hasn't beer released like the sources).

That's one of my old-old to-do projects. Don't need very much, just a power source (the HP200LX wall adapter would do), and a microcontrolled circuit with a programmable current source and voltage measurement (twice for two batteries, in order to do perfect charging of each one). The easiest way would be to connect and control it through RS232, and thus save buttons and display. Maybe one of these days I start building it... Regards.

Wolfenstein 3D is a really good game, but I remember trying to run it on an XT, it needed 286 at least, so if there are parts in the source code that are written in 286-code (assembler) you will have to translate it to 8086 native instructions. But, if the program was 100% in C or the assembler parts where not 286 specific, I think there won't be any trouble. On the other hand, what about visibility? If you can write the CGA part the game could work, but 4 colors is really nothing compared to 256 VGA colors. How would you solve this problem?

I have this card, but haven't tried compressing it. JAM works fine= on A: or C: This is just a guess, but the EXP card comes with its own driver that configures it as the first available drive (usually F:). There is probably a conflict between the EXP driver and the JAM driver. Drive A: on the EXP card is configured as read-only, but isn't really ROM, but a protected part of the flash memory. This is why you can update the "ROM". I think that what appears as drive F: is actually the unprotected part of the same flash memory, configured as a pseudo-drive by the EXP driver. There is a way to compress the card memory (all of it - not part) with stacker, that was described in a back issue of the palmtop paper.

Hi Angelica & group- Actually, I think this is the way some proprietary rapid chargers work. You could do this with analog circuitry (thermistor, voltage comparator, and a bunch of other components) driving a relay to switch current on & off. Or you could use a microcontroller & A-D converter to monitor the temp sensor and control charging. An alternate microcontroller based method that would work for NiCads (I'm not sure about NiMH) is to monitor cell voltage during charging. NiCads show a small, but measurable drop in voltage when they're fully charged. The micro would need to be programmed to watch for the drop, regardless of the absolute voltage measurement. I've been toying with the idea of doing this with a 68HC11 microcontroller. This has a built-in 8 channel 8 bit A-D converter,= so it could monitor up to 8 cells without too much extra circuitry. Other things that could be done with the micro would be to discharge cells (individually) before charging, and selecting different charge rates...

These planes have advanced to amazing capabilities in the last 5 years or so by pushing the envelope of battery technology, much more than the RC electric car field has. There are several battery chargers on the market that include microprocessor control, thermal monitoring and even pulse charging. Many of these chargers support battery packs ranging from 2 cells up to 20 or more to cover the broad requirements of electric flight systems. Check out a local airplane oriented hobby shop or pick up any of the current RC flight magazines and check out several of the ads. Tower Hobbies and Hobby Lobby both have extensive charger listings. You should be able to find RC Modeler or Model Airplane News magazines in virtually every store that has a magazine rack. Pete Peter W.

I haven't paid for batteries for my LX in YEARS. My wife works at the service counter of a large supermarket "superstore" that has its own on-site photo developing. They get tons of those "disposable" cameras in for photo developing, which include AA batteries. Shortly after these cameras first became popular, environmentalists made a big stink about the pollution issue of throwing away all these batteries, so Kodak and others made a big to-do about starting a recucling program for the batteries. What they didn't stress though was that they charge the retailers and developers for each battery returned, thus it was still cheaper just to throw the batteries away and that is what most do. At my wife's store, they save the batteries and give them to employees. These batteries are almost always like new when I get them, each pair reading 3 volts or better in my LX most of the time and the battery life seems as good as new ones. Anyone interested might ask at their nearby camera shop or photo place and offeer to recycle the batteries for free.

AirPower provides dialup access to email accounts (and much more) for $5/month. While any comm program such as datacomm will do, we provide a free client disk (ala AOL). It is a site licensed version of 1st Reader, and automatic terminal program and mail reader that is fully scriptable, though we distribute it with the scripts already setup. It has a built in file manager (ala windows) and a built in databse program, so you can store and retrieve messages from the database at any time, for example to build a knowledge base on any particular subject. Using 1st Reader you can dial in, log on, download mail (and files), upload mail (and files), and log off, all in an unattended session in minimum time. For this reason long distance charges aren't much of an issue as the typical session is 2 minutes or less. If anyone is interested, email me and I'll be happy to file attach you a copy of our site licensed version of 1st Reader, 1st-Air.exe I use it on my 200LX and my 100LX.

The requested space needs to be contiguous. Your 2.5mb of free space is probably in chunks. SC should have come with a program called "optimize" and the instructions to use it.

I am not sure of the format of the file but it could probably be converted to whatever you need. You should probably be able to find it on one of the linux archive sites, try sunsite.unc.edu under /pub/Linux. Look for ispell, I think that is its name. I have seen similar spell checker programs for dos and windows. I would look in some of the large file archives and download any spell check programs I found and have a look at their dictionaries. Also, keep in mind that the program might include some way of dumping the contents of the dictionary to another file in straight text form, which might be more useful for what you need. Pete Peter W.

Registered users get a bigger dictionary file. Look for it in the shareware libraries. Probably closer to your request are word lists used for crosswords and anagram solving. I found one called the "UK Advanced Cryptics Dictionary" which has a 2.6mb word list (no definitions)....about 225,000 words. I found it in http://www.shareware.com , looking for "wordlist". This one in particular was caled "ukacd15.zip". There may be others. Once loaded, you probably just need any of a variety of browsers with search capability to do your lookups (one that combines compression with browse and search would be ideal). - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 13 Nov 1997 20:14:53 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Spoelstra Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Spoelstra Subject: Re: exe2exm Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" >exe2exm is a public domain tool to convert your own Turbo C programs (hence >the MAP file) to EXM executables for the PIM.

What if > you are away from an adapter at that moment? I start mine at > 2.50v, so my batts have always some charge. Hmmm... Must be considerable variation in the LX A-D converters or NiCad cells (or both). On my 100LX and RS HiCap NiCads, I get to 2.50V after about an hour or an hour and a half. Voltage reading levels off at about 2.43 for most of the 10 hours (average) between charges. Low batt on mine comes at about 2.32-2.35V. That's the beauty of ABC/LX. It can be configured for each users individual palmtop and batteries. I DO keep an eye on both the voltage & battery timer readings above= the F1 key, and manually enable charging if there is a high count on the timer, and I expect to be unable to recharge for a while, but this usually isn't necessary.

What else was in there with them? If anything causes a short across a NiCd battery it will heat up quickly since it can generate very high currents for short periods of time. I would be suprised in an internal short caused this, unless the battery was subjected to some sort of stress or bending it shouldn't even short in a way to cause a high current discharge. Some loose change or a metal pen clip or two could cause such a short though, quite easily. I had a similar thing happen to me once with a battery in a bag with some other junk. If you want to carry spare batteries you might want to find something to hold them safely. A cheap pen light with the guts removed can hold two AA cells without much wasted space. Pete Peter W.

I'm running tests now comparing it to Software Carousel. Preliminary results: Very fast swapping, effective multitasking even on the 200LX. Definitely a more capable product for "multitasking" than Software Carousel. PROBLEM: Desqview uses up a LOT more conventional memory than Software Carousel. ~200K.

Is FidoNet a kind of BBS, where you dial in directly on a phone line? If AirPower is in the USA (guessing), it would be an expensive call from Australia to download the file! :) Could I suggest: put it on the web site, but don't tell anyone except us at the HPLX mailing list. Although it would be theoretically available to the entire net, no-one else would download it unless they knew the exact name. Then, Quarterdeck wouldn't be worried about it being too available.

You have to practically remove all your TSRs to get it to be able to run System Manager. If these memory problems can't be solved, then I'm going to have to say, Desqview is just going to use too much memory on the palmtop to be useful.

It appears to work on my 100LX, but unfortunately you switch partitions by pressing CTRL + (keypad)1 or CTRL + 2, etc...... and the switching doesn't work.

Finally worked things out. The problem seems to be that whatever means the prog uses to write the print image to disk is incompatible with JAM. Fortunately I still have an ACE DoubleFlash Plus 5/10Mb card (uses Stacker). Installed EVP to this card, and tried again. Printing works now 8-) The good news is that the quality looks great at 180x180 dpi (Epson= LQ emulation), but creating the print image & printing is S..L..O..W. Took 22 minutes to finish the page. At 60x60 dpi the quality is marginal, but it only takes a couple of minutes. The 60 dpi quality= is probably good enough for letter size flyers with large lettering. These speeds are for a 1Mb normal-speed 100LX, using the Stacked A: drive for the image. With an 8Mb 2x speed model writing on drive C: things should be a lot faster. Also, the docs say that using EMS memory will speed up printing considerably. One other thing; I overstated the disk space it uses. The installation program needs 2.2 Mb, but the files take 1.8Mb installed.

Now, that's not very nice. I am a Unix SysAdmin, and as such, I have to know what a platter is, and how disk drives work, and what the limitations are, just so I can tune the servers and workstation. Do they just leave that up to the mystical "RAID" box, and then not measure the actual performance of their disk subsystem? Actually, I had a Quantom 100MB drive that was in the same condition. It started growing bad blocks though after I accidentally touched the top platter itself. I finally took the the platters out of the drive, cleaned them, and put them back in. After that, the drive would not work at all. > > Phil > > -------------------------------------------- > ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** > For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : > HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml > -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 14 Nov 1997 21:00:26 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , B Wills Sender: HPLX Mailing List Comments: Authenticated sender is From: B Wills Organization: Area 51 Subject: Re: Dos Software In-Reply-To: <3.0.3.32.19971114105442.00689928@mail.tds.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Thanks for the tip!!

The reason that I've never upgraded to Win v3 or v4, is that I was specifically told by Micro Logic that the data formats were not backward compatible. They told me that the Win version would convert a file to the new format the first time that it was loaded, therefore rendering it unreadable by the DOS version.

For those of you who are worried: it is very easy to remove/change the registration data from the INSTALL.EXE file before you install it. Just edit INSTALL.EXE with a text editor (that doesn't change the file; the EDIT that comes with DOS won't do the job) before you install it.

Are you saying that sometimes the line is missing and sometimes it's not? Or that it's only missing in part of the screen? The screen connects to the circuit board in three places: the horizontal zebra stripes running along the top and bottom, which presumably match up to the vertical columns. On the right side of the screen is a ribbon cable which runs all the way down the side, which presumably controls the horizontal rows. The circuit board connects to the motherboard through the ribbon cable connector on the left side of the screen. If you're missing something, the simplest thing would be to clean the contact pads that connect the ribbon cable to the screen circuit board. If that doesn't work, you could try cleaning or realigning the zebra strips... but that's a good deal more hazardous. I misaligned them once and it took me half an hour to get it right again. -- Visit the HP200LX site at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 15 Nov 1997 09:40:13 -1 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Bas Pruijn <126479bp@STUDENT.EUR.NL> Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bas Pruijn <126479bp@STUDENT.EUR.NL> Subject: Re: Compressing part of a rem.disk Comments: cc: ianmel@OPUS.CO.TT On 1997-11-14 HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU said to 126479bp@student.eur.nl >--__next_part__1113902835__ >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 >Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable >On Fri, 14 Nov 1997 10:42:04 +0800, Kurt von Knoll 61 8 9491-6641 >wrote: >ku> I have an EXP 4MB Flash / modem and I have used JAM to compress >= part of >ku> it and later all of it.

You can only do a Fido file request from another Fido BBS, and you must be a SysOp to do so, or ask the SysOp to do it for you, otherwise all you need do is dial in with a terminal program, login, and download it.

If so, this would mean that the DOS version is better in this feature than the Windows version? Is that the case? How much disk space does the DOS version take up?

No, don't install Qemm, at least I don't think you can use it on the Palmtop. On a desktop, by all means install Qemm, it's great. first steo is the command INSTALL /M (the /M is for a monochrome installation) Then you will be prompted wheter or not you want a partial install, and you do, since you don't want to install Qemm. Then just follow the prompts. BTW, the Partial install may be referred to as ADVANCED install. Look for either one as that is what you want.

The line appears to be one pixel wide. I am no expert on LCDs, but believe that on the 200lx, all connections to= the display are made via two rubberised conductive strips along the top a= nd bottom edges of the display (I believe this is what is referred to as the= zebra strips). The strips carry the row and column signals that ultimatel= y produce pixels on the display. It sounds as if one of the row driving signals is no longer making contact on your display, this can normally be= proved by pressing along the top and pbootom edges of the display until t= he row appears. I f you are lucky, this may be the problem. = The mounting arrangement on the 200lx is simply by sandwiching the zebra strips between the glass display and the circuit board using a metal fram= e around the display so it may be possible to remake the connection by adjusting clips that hold the metal frame to the circuit board so that mo= re pressure is applied to the sandwich around the area concerned. This will require you to remove dismantle the display section of your 200lx.

That would work provided: 1- The internal speaker of the 200LX is a "real" speaker, NOT a piezoelectric beeper (which I think sounds like). 2- The speaker you connect outside can be driven by the 200LX speaker output (so, it must have a quite high impedance, since I guess the driver is not very string). Anyway, what could be done for sure would be to set up an external speaker connection, and use it to drive an amplifier. Since the speaker output is a digital wave, just digital gates would do fine as speaker drivers (again, is the speaker load is small enough). Regards. Nacho. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 16 Nov 1997 20:38:19 GMT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , W5GXL Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: W5GXL Subject: Re: 100/200LX External Speaker!

Indeed, I still look fondly back on the high quality of the latter versions of DOS programmes in combination with Desqview. Having said that, there are some substantial reasons to use Software Carousel on the HP200LX. The version of Software Carousel sold for the LX series was modified to allow the use of both task switching and the HP built-in applications. All alarms in the HP built-in applications also work under Software Carousel. Software Carousel is rock solid under both the 100LX and the 200LX. I have used it constantly for months on end and have never had it lock up. The only lock up I have had in the past three years was when I had not allocated enough memory in one of its programme areas for the rather touchy DOS programme that I was running. In addition, Software Carousel does not require all that much lower ram to run. You can easily have DOS programmes running in several different 512K programme areas at the same time. The Desqview ram requirement is substantially higher. Some DOS programmes simply will not run on the LX series under Desqview because of the amount of ram that has to be devoted to Desqview. In addition, Software Carousel allows you to use programmes that require expanded memory even though you are running software carousel without accessing expanded memory. I can use Lotus Agenda, for example, under Software Carousel and still have Lotus Agenda access expanded memory for greatly improved performance. In short, Software Carousel has already been tailored to work very effectively on the HP LX series and it is still being supported by the distributor. Those two reasons are sufficient to tip the balance in favour of Software Carousel over Desqview. However, let a thousand flowers bloom. Desqview is a splendid programme and if you are running DOS programmes with a limited need for ram, by all means use it with pleasure. If you are running DOS programmes with a heavy memory requirement and wish to maintain the ability to run the HP built-in applications, Software Carousel has the advantage. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 16 Nov 1997 16:03:03 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Lawrence Fast/Musqueam Reserve/Ca Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Lawrence Fast/Musqueam Reserve/Ca Subject: Lotus Agenda - Great Programme - Great Value MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have been looking for a good workable PIM for a number of years. I started in the DOS world with Instant Recall which I used for a year or so. I then tried SideKick 2 and used it for about 18 months. When the Windows monolith gathered speed, I tried Ascend, Ecco, and Lotus Organizer with mixed results. The primary problem with most PIMs for me has been lack of flexibility and portability. I toted around a laptop for a number of years but, because of the size, weight, and inappropriateness, I found that my use of the laptop was inconsistent. My solution was the HP200LX palmtop. For the last three years I have used the Palmtop PIMs to do basic scheduling, name and address listing, etc. Notekeeping and general to-do lists are done in Grandview. I use Software Carousel to keep my DOS programmes readily available. For the past two months I have been using Lotus Agenda and only regret that I did not discover this programme several years ago. It has marvelous flexibility and combines notekeeping, scheduling, and daily journals into a whole. As soon as I am able to bring my name and address database from the 200LX into Lotus Agenda, I will use Agenda almost exclusively. Technically, Lotus Agenda works best with expanded memory. Fortunately EMM200.Zip (from the SUPER website) provides exactly the right kind of expanded memory needed by Lotus Agenda. My son is using Lotus Agenda with his 200LX to take notes for university. Indeed, a number of journalists have been using Agenda for years because of its excellent retrieval capabilities. The best news is that Lotus has released Lotus Agenda into the public domain.

From that point on, simply follow the usual procedures. For those unfamiliar with Lotus Agenda, you might wish to check out the following web pages: http://www.inc.com/incmagazine/archives/15960511.html and http://www.luca.com/cpajournal/old/15203146.htm There is an active Lotus Agenda group on Compuserve (the LotusB forum) for Agenda related topics and downloads. To use Lotus Agenda on the LX series of Palmtops, I would also recommend using EMM200 to create expanded memory. See the SUPER website and download EMM200.ZIP. Good luck! Ýthis is a followup to the following message - some people wrote to say that they were unable to find the location of the Agenda download on the Lotus website.¨ "I have been looking for a good workable PIM for a number of years. I started in the DOS world with Instant Recall which I used for a year or so. I then tried SideKick 2 and used it for about 18 months. When the Windows monolith gathered speed, I tried Ascend, Ecco, and Lotus Organizer with mixed results. The primary problem with most PIMs for me has been lack of flexibility and portability. I toted around a laptop for a number of years but, because of the size, weight, and inappropriateness, I found that my use of the laptop was inconsistent. My solution was the HP200LX palmtop. For the last three years I have used the Palmtop PIMs to do basic scheduling, name and address listing, etc. Notekeeping and general to-do lists are done in Grandview. I use Software Carousel to keep my DOS programmes readily available. For the past two months I have been using Lotus Agenda and only regret that I did not discover this programme several years ago. It has marvelous flexibility and combines notekeeping, scheduling, and daily journals into a whole. As soon as I am able to bring my name and address database from the 200LX into Lotus Agenda, I will use Agenda almost exclusively. Technically, Lotus Agenda works best with expanded memory. Fortunately EMM200.Zip (from the SUPER website) provides exactly the right kind of expanded memory needed by Lotus Agenda. My son is using Lotus Agenda with his 200LX to take notes for university. Indeed, a number of journalists have been using Agenda for years because of its excellent retrieval capabilities. The best news is that Lotus has released Lotus Agenda into the public domain. It is available as a free download from the Lotus website!

The 200LX can certainly drive a regular speaker without modification, and the bigger the speaker, the louder the sound. It still isn't good enough to accurately reproduce speech, but it is fine for loud tones. The only problem I can see is, where would you fit the pieces necessary for an external speaker? I'd like to see a headphone-style jack where you could plug in headphones or a large speaker, but where would you put it to avoid permanently deforming the 200LX?

However, with a handheld computer, people rarely, if ever, need to run programmes in the background. On an XT class machine like the 200LX, multi-tasking would be very very slow at best. The biggest advantage for me is that I can have a number of open DOS programme areas, each area having an open programme that requires a substantial amount of ram to operate. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 16 Nov 1997 18:51:03 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Kevin Barnhart Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Kevin Barnhart Subject: Re: Turbo C/C+ for HPLX200??

For those wondering how Borland works its license agreements: they have a pretty good solution to the "abandonware" issue. If you buy a current Borland product, such as Turbo C++ 3.0 for DOS or 4.5 for Windows, they will let you get a copy of an old product and use that under the license included with your new product. You are free to use either the new product or an old product (which you can obtain from somebody who already has it) but not both at the same time. This ensures that Borland will not lose sales to competition with old products, but still lets those of us who cannot run their protected mode products have access to versions that will run. -- Visit the HP200LX site at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 16 Nov 1997 18:33:41 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Quinton Jones JR Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Quinton Jones JR Subject: Re: 100/200LX External Speaker!

You say you "overwrote" it. But if you *deleted* it, here is a suggestion: (1) don't do anything! The file *may* still be there, but if you write any other files they may over-write it! (2) Open FILER (3) goto the QUICKEN directory (4) Select the File menu; and Undelete in that menu (5) Press return. If your file is still there, it will be revealed, and you can recover it. (6) If not, it may still be possible to recover it using more sophisticated tools that someone may mail to you. But it's time to consider giving up... I hope it's still there!

I started in the DOS world with Instant Recall which I used for a year or so. I then tried SideKick 2 and used it for about 18 months. When the Windows monolith gathered speed, I tried Ascend, Ecco, and Lotus Organizer with mixed results. The primary problem with most PIMs for me has been lack of flexibility and portability. I toted around a laptop for a number of years but, because of the size, weight, and inappropriateness, I found that my use of the laptop was inconsistent. My solution was the HP200LX palmtop. For the last three years I have used the Palmtop PIMs to do basic scheduling, name and address listing, etc. Notekeeping and general to-do lists are done in Grandview. I use Software Carousel to keep my DOS programmes readily available. For the past two months I have been using Lotus Agenda and only regret that I did not discover this programme several years ago. It has marvelous flexibility and combines notekeeping, scheduling, and daily journals into a whole. As soon as I am able to bring my name and address database from the 200LX into Lotus Agenda, I will use Agenda almost exclusively. Technically, Lotus Agenda works best with expanded memory. Fortunately EMM200.Zip (from the SUPER website) provides exactly the right kind of expanded memory needed by Lotus Agenda. My son is using Lotus Agenda with his 200LX to take notes for university. Indeed, a number of journalists have been using Agenda for years because of its excellent retrieval capabilities. The best news is that Lotus has released Lotus Agenda into the public domain. It is available as a free download from the Lotus website!

It's almost like the spring's broken (which I don't think it is) or it's just worn out. My unit is a 4mb unit made the 49th week of 1996. I bought it from Fry's Electronics at the end of Jan., 1997. I regularly swap cards between my 2 10 mb flash cards and my modem... Could I have busted the door through the card swaps? My old 100LX never exhibited this trouble, and I did the same amount of swapping. I always have a card in the slot...

In summary ... The following files are needed for a minimum Agenda installation: A.EXE AGENDA.RI PLANNER.AG (or whatever working file you've created xxx.AG) These files require 834k of RAM file space. The program needs a minimum of 435k RAM to run, but by allowing the use of the maximum available RAM, you can double the program's speed. Using EMM is also recommended. To speed up operation of Agenda, you should: 1. Start Agenda using whatever working file you are using (PLANNER.AG) 2. Select F10Ýmenu¨ -> FÝile¨ -> PÝroperties¨ 3. Highlight "Auto-assign setting" and press the space bar 4. Turn: Assignment conditions OFF Assignment actions OFF Text matching ON 5.

My compliments to all on conducting and very informative and often humorous mail list. I have been using my 200lx for about a year now, and as tempting as it may be at times to have the latest and greatest(???), I just cannot give up my 200lx. It is amazing how often I am finding new uses for it, even in a Windows day and age. I am contemplating a memory upgrade, and was wondering if anyone knew of a good article explaining the differences between the various type of memory cards (i.e. ATA Flash, SRAM, etc.) and which ones are compatible with the 200lx.

Check out the white-paper from QuarterDeck at: http://www.qdeck.com/technote/286.html which describes the operation of DV on 8088,8086,80286 processors. In brief, he says: "Many users ask if DESQview can multitask on a 286 machine. The fact is, DESQview can multitask on ANY processor in the Intel 8086 family, or its compatibles. This includes the 8088, the 8086, the NEC V20 and V30, the 80286, the 80386 (in both the SX and DX flavors), and the i486 and i486SX" The paper is dated 1992, that's why there's no ref to pentiums. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 17 Nov 1997 17:15:02 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Julie Strietelmeier Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Julie Strietelmeier Subject: FS: HP200LX and accessories Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" For Sale: HP200LX 2meg palmtop that has been upgraded to 6meg.

I recall using JAM to set up two compressed drives on 4MB flash part of the EXP flash/modem. I set up one which was about 1/4 of the total and the other to about 3/4 of the total 4MB. (I had a valid but obscure reason for doing this.) I could have left one of the partitions uncompressed. From the JAM 1.25 documentation (JAM.DOC) you can specify the amount of the drive you want to compress (and hence only compress part of your flash drive) using the /S switch: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.3. Creating JAM Archive File Now, you should find an appropriate Host Drive. This is the physical drive on which you will create the JAM Archive File (You may refer to Appendix A in this manual to get familiar with the JAM terminology). Then look how much free space has your Host Drive (say, drive D:), using, for example the DOS's DIR command: C:\>DIR D: and determine amount of it you want to compress (in an example below we will allocate 1000K bytes for the JAM Archive File). Please note, that amount of space you can define as a JAM Archive should not be less than 72K bytes and not greater than 512M bytes. Finally, you should assign the name for new JAM File to create (say, FIRST) and type: C:\>JCREATE D:FIRST /A /S=1000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Also see the JAM Readme.doc for an explanantion of how to set up two JAM drives. I can forward my config.sys if you are interested in the order I load my drivers.

If anyone would like a copy, please email me "briang@writme.com". As a long-time user of Agenda on my desktop (and now my 200lx), Agenda is a great program but requires reqular maintenance using the ag_chk utility. I cannot stress enough that you should make a regular check of the file and back it up. The ag_chk utility will also attempt to fix the corrupt file but it is not always 100%, specially if it has been some time since the last check. The file doesn't just become corrupt all at once but seems there is a compounding effect until finally the last straw. The file I run on my desktop (486sl) is about 3.5MB, too large for my palmtop. I usually break out from my main file, items which I want to carry around with me. If anyone would like questions answered, I will do my best.

ACE made a program called Magnify, an exm which worked well on an 100lx and 200lx for viewing magnified shots of sysman (built-in) apps. It works best when the database apps (phone and dbase,etc) are in list mode, rather than in datacard mode. Hiroyuki Sekiya produced an exm program, Zoom, which smartly determines your viewing mode and adjusts its level of zoom accordingly (largest for datacard). It doesn't zoom through as many levels as Magnify, but it works well for the 200lx, and it's FREE. Get it at: ftp://ftp.one.net/pub/users/hamm/zoom110.zip You should also install: ftp://ftp.one.net/pub/users/hamm/mrexm160.zip Both are about 8Kb, and moreexm requires a couple K of sysram, but it is worth it for the extra apps.

It seems your ISP will not let you read news off its server if you are not directly logged on. There is not much that Post/LX Client program can do about it! There is no way to "cheat". With the email off the POP3 this is now possible from your ISP (i.e. login via CIS, and obtain email form your ISPs POP3 server), but there are many ISPs that do not allow it (e.g. AT&T recently tightened up, and now you may not get your email from their POP3 server except when you login directly!) The DNS in this case is not significant: DNS is used when the program is trying to find the IP (123.456.789.012 style number) for a URL given as http://xyz.pqr.com or some such. So that has no bearing on the accessibility to the newsgroup server. But you never know what tricks 'lexu (the author of NEWS.EXE) is devising now! :-)...

Hamm" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Thanks Mitch! It was very helpful of you to post the Agenda FAQ on your website. I have referred a number of people to it already. My installation is as follows: HP 200LX 2M 20M flash card Software Carousel Expanded ram via EMM200 (downloaded from S.U.P.E.R) I run Lotus Agenda in a 512K programme area in Software Carousel. Lotus Agenda is very fast on a Pentium 90 notebook that I use to back up my flash card. Unfortunately it is not as fast on the 200LX; however, the advantage of having Lotus Agenda available on the Palmtip for constant use outweighs the speed of Agenda under the 80186 processor in the 200LX. I wish that Lotus would bring Agenda back into the fold and do regular upgrades. However, there are a number of companion products (President's Planner, Beyond 2) that have provided upgrading like support. Again, that for putting the FAQ on your web site. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 18 Nov 1997 15:56:07 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , mdstockr Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: mdstockr Subject: Lotus Agenda Install Instructions Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I have also come across a text file of an old article describing how to install Agenda 2.0 on a HP 95LX.

With Newsgroups it is simply a matter of load on the server. Newsgroups is a pure service to customers, and does not in itself provide anything that the ISP can charge for. IOW, it is a a pure expense. The minimize the need to make the servers large machines when demand is growing, the ISPs limit the access to those who direct connect. So yes, I agree, and just amplified.

They do not want cross-posted/spam messages to get into the USENET from One Net Communications. Finally, since a great percentage of USENET traffic is smut mining (over 85% on the one.net servers) and many of the public services do not carry the alt.binaries newsgroups, it is a HUGE decrease in load to keep your newsfeed only for your subscribers.

Melancon" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Michael R. Melancon" Subject: Re: Agenda vs InfoSelect The Agenda FAQ mentioned in earlier posts kind of addresses this question but here's my take on it as well. Agenda is more demanding to learn and takes more computing power to run. Once you grasp the idea of how it operates on your info -you can do things with it that you can't with any other program. Some of the features (like Autocomplete) that make it nice to use make it slower than you will probably like on the palmtop. As a portable copy of a database you maintain on your desktop (while still able to add and manip ulate in the field) it works out pretty well. InfoSelect is pretty quick - less challenging to learn - very flexible and probably better suited to run full out on the palmtop with no great degradation of performance. I guess to simplify it an Agenda file is like a self organising file cabinet and an InfoSelect stack is kind of like a self indexing file card box. You can enter or import items into Agenda with no idea how you want it to be organized - then decide what categories (think of a file folder) and views (file drawer?) you want to assign items to. The power is that Agenda allows you many ways to assign items to categories -based on what the item contains -or what other categories it is/isn't assigned to - etc and can do so automatically after you tell it how. When you enter or import to a window in an InfoSelect stack you also don't have to know how you want it to be organized. You can search (GET) a subset of the current stack and flip through them. You can move them around in the stack like reordering cards in a file box. Hope this makes sense to you. Mike Melancon ---------- From: Longden C.

That was a couple of weeks ago and I have given up hoping the problem will correct itself. I want to try a hard reset to see if that would clear it up, but the CTRL key doesn't work - is there any other way to invoke a hard reset short of removing the batteries? If I have to resort to a battery ectomy how long does the patient have to rest before reinstalling the batteries to insure total amnesia?

I use LXGPS, which you can download from S.U.P.E.R. - although, check with the author, he's got a v1.1 out - with a Garmin 12XL, although it should work with any GPS with an NMEA output. The software allows you to monitor the raw data from the GPS, check your location, and display satellite information. You can also create you own maps and watch your "bread crumb" trail, as well as navigate to waypoints, either using those on an included list, or creating your own. Most of these things are available using the GPS alone, but, by using the lx, you can monitor two screens - on on the GPS and one on the lx, you can place the GPS where it has a better view of the sky, since you don't have to watch its screen, and you have the larger memory of the lx to save data in. I'm sure others have other uses and thoughts, which I look forward to hearing. -- Lewis KC7MZ Battle Ground, WA (near Portland, OR) Team 200LX NRA Life http://www.teleport.com/~losborn -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 18 Nov 1997 16:19:43 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Claud G.

I cannot really give a full report on Beyond 2 because I have just ordered a copy for myself. It has been highly praised by some other Lotus Agenda aficionados whose opinions I respect. For the record, I have absolutely no connection, financial, personal, or otherwise with anyone connected with either Beyond 2 or President's Planner. I do acknowledge a growing addiction to Lotus Agenda on my HP 200LX. For my purposes, the heavy duty capabilities and flexibility of Lotus Agenda have been perfect for helping to organize my somewhat chaotic life. I have been in contact with the developer of Agenda 2, Ron Freudenhem, who stated in his e-mail message to me that Beyond 2 was: "designed to extend the printing capabilities of Agenda 20, provide a really useful contact manager, and a variety of other functions. There are ten functions included in all. It also works well with the other leading Agenda add-on, Alex Todd's "President's Planner". Beyond 2.0 is $79.95 plus $5.00 shipping and handling. If you are not satisfied, I will refund your money within 60 days. You also get unlimited free technical support, so long as you pay for the telephone call. If you wish to order a copy, please send a check made payable to Ronald L. Freudenhem, and send it to 611 Dartmouth Avenue, Silver Spring, MD 20910." I have been attempting to contact Alex Todd with no success. However, you can obtain a copy of President's Planner and Partner's Planner from the following: http://www.benchin.com/$index.wcgi/prod/1032840 http://www.benchin.com/$index.wcgi/cat/1035 I have not used President's Planner or Partner's Planner and cannot comment upon either of these products. However, the following review is taken from a file on the CompuServe Lotus B forum: President's Planner Reviewed by Charles Olsen (Reprinted from HAL-PC User Journal) PIM Application for Lotus Agenda How many times have you told your computer to do something, and the stupid beast did exactly what you told it to? The idiot should have known that you didn't really mean that, right? Sometimes this leads to destruction (files deleted, disks formatted, etc.), while other times the results are less dramatic -- for example, data isn't filed where it should be. This can easily happen with PIM (Personal Information Management) software. Some PIM software requires you to file your data carefully, with a rigid consistency, if you want to have any hope of finding it again in the future. President's Planner is a PIM designed to eliminate this type of problem. It's an application written for Lotus Agenda, and you must have Agenda 2.0 installed before you can install President's Planner. (Partner's Planner is identical to President's Planner, except that it includes a billable time module. With that exception, everything that I say about President's Planner also applies to Partner's Planner.) Data entry in President's Planner (PP) is a simple process. There are several views -- to-do's, calls, appointments, obligations to you, diary, log, and billable time -- allowing you to look at whatever information is appropriate at the moment. But every view has a "Scratch Pad," where you can enter any type of information. If you're looking at your appointments and realize that you need to call someone, just type "call John Doe" in the Scratch Pad. President's Planner realizes that this is a call, and puts it in the appropriate view. Items remain in the scratch pad until deleted, or until the next day (PP will automatically clean them up). While an item is in the Scratch Pad, PP tells you where it intends to file the item. If you disagree, you can override the assignment by pressing one of the function keys Ctrl-F1 through Ctrl-F10. (Function key assignments are displayed at the bottom of the screen.) You'll probably spend most of the time in the President's Day view. (All views actually have the user's name; for example, the views in my database are named Olsen's Day, Olsen's Phone Calls, Olsen's Appointments, etc.) President's Day gives everything that you need to be concerned with that day: to-do's, calls, follow ups, obligations to you, appointments, etc. As each task is completed, just highlight and press Agenda's "Done" key (F4), and it disappears from the view (but not from the database). President's Planner has a number of special features, thanks to macros and the power text analysis capabilities of Agenda: * To-do's are automatically prioritized by their When dates (the close the date, the higher the priority). You can override the automatic priority and assign your own. * Certain items will transform when they're marked as Done. For example, a phone call in which you left a message is assigned to Left Messages, and will show up as a follow-up reminder. To-do's asking you to send material to someone, and delegated tasks, also transform into follow-ups. President's Planner will also track expenses for you. You can type the expense into an item using the word "expense," or you can use abbreviations: $P for postage, $C for photocopy, $T for telephone, etc. If you're using Partner's Planner, items finished go to the Billable Time view. You can specify the amount of time you spent on each item, and specify which items did not represent billable work. Partner's Planner will give you the totals for billable and non-billable time. President's Planner is installed into an existing Agenda database, so you can add it into a file that you're already using without disturbing your existing data. Partner's Planner must be installed into the PMA.AG file (an Agenda application designed for attorneys, available from Lotus). If you install into any other file, President's Planner is installed. You can create new views and categories in your PP database, and you can add columns and sections to existing views. There are a few restrictions to the types of modifications you can make, and these are clearly specified in the manual. President's Planner is like any other PIM: for it to be useful, you have to use it every day, and it must be readily available. Since Agenda can't run as a TSR, the best approach is to use some type of multitasking environment such as Desqview, OS/2 or Windows. Phase III Computing also sells SuperMacros, Agenda macros that are powerful additions to PP. One is called Point & View, which allows you to highlight a word or words in an item and press Ctrl-V. Point & View will create a category by that name and a view with that category, and Agenda will display all occurrences of that word or phrase. "Add New Name" is a macro that will prompt you for the appropriate information, then add a new Person, Company or Matter to the appropriate category. Of all the PIMs I've used, I think President's Planner has been the easiest to learn and put into use. You can get more out of it if you're familiar with Agenda, but you can put it to use immediately even if you've only just installed Agenda. The Scratch Pad now seems like such a simple (and very useful) idea, I wonder why no one thought of it before now. By using Agenda as the base for personal information manager, Phase III Computing may have truly created the first Do What I Mean program.

Is there any way I can do that?? Not confusing at all :) Go to the math functions in calc (CTRL M) and you will see that F4 & F5 are used for converting from & to DMS. It's confusing because HP uses Hours-minutes-seconds. Ex.

One focuse= d on Palm shipping their 1 millionth unit and the other focused on the operating system war with MS. Here are a couple paragraphs from the operating system article: Microsoft tried twice to extend its Windows software stranglehold into handhelds, with products called Windows for Pens and WinPad. Neither succeeded. It launched a third major effort at last year's Comdex: a stripped-down version of Windows called Windows CE. A half-dozen manufacturers began offering Windows CE-based products= prices at around $800. But sales have been dismal. Randy Giusto, an analyst with International Data Corp., estimates that just 100,000 Windows CE devices have been sold in the last year, in part because of complaints about poor-quality display screens. But competitors at Palm and other companies say the Windows heritage leads to overly complex software and bulky hardware, o= ut of step with users' needs. While laptop-computer owners often switc= h on their machines for hours at a time, a hand-held device may be on for just a few seconds to find a piece of information, Ms. Dubinsky notes. In th= at environment, users won't tolerate a system that takes more than a second = or two to boot up. But with hand-held machines, the key may be doing a few task= s well -- and keeping the size so small that users won't even have t= o think about carrying them. Says Mr. Schaefer at Nissan: "The Pilot doesn't try to do everything, and that's exactly what I like about it." The full text is available on the WSJ web page.

Ian, any thoughts? Sure Al! The method you outline works (I'm told) but I've never used= it. In my opinion the far easier (and much quicker) way - without involving the desktop except to transfer files from the floppies - is as follows (I'm assuming your card is designated drive A): 1- Start with a freshly formatted (or defragmented) card. 2- Include the following in your config.sys file: device=3Da:\stacker.com files=3D30 buffers=3D6 (you may use 15,5) shell=3Dd:\dos\command.com /p d:\dos (Any device drivers needed to read drive A must be loaded before loading the stacker device driver). 3- Create a file named 'stacker.ini' in the root dir of the drive you= will be compressing and type the following: /P=3D10 /EMS (only for those with EMS available on their 200LX) /AUTO A:\STACVOL.DSK,RP (Save this as an ascii file with carriage returns following each line).= The P=3D10 tunes Stacker for maximum compression, ie: 'MAXSPACE'. The EMS= switch saves about 35K of conventional mem. 4- Copy only these files to the 200LX: stacker.com create.com screxec.exe screxec2.exe (Total: 217,079 bytes) (These may be placed on any drive or dir but the full path will be needed to execute them. You may remove the last 3 after rebooting and successful completion). 5- Terminate Appmgr and type Ýdrive¨Ýpath¨ create a: /s=3D0 /r=3D2.5 This will create a hidden stacvol.dsk on drive A using all the available space with a comp ratio calculated at 2.5:1. 6- Reboot and you're finished. Now, wasn't this *easy* . Sidebar: Stacker 3 includes a file called stackpalm.exe which makes= light work of the above and even edits config.sys for you (of course version= 3 uses no ini file).

It has never given me any problems so I have never bothered upgrading (are there any benefits to upgrading to version 1.9?). JAM worked fine with this version of the driver straight away. I am very happy with this combination - I have never lost any data and I can't notice any performance degradation due to JAM. I can email version 1.6 to anyone interested in using it with JAM. I am not sure if this version has any compatability problems with the newer (including 8MB) EXP cards. It may be worth a try.

WILLIT reported the 200LX failing three of the four tests. However, DOSCHK, another such program, available at http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/saphena/year2000.htm, reports that the 200LX passes most of the tests. The reason that it failed WILLIT, and the reason it doesn't pass ALL the doschk tests, is because it has no real-time clock (since it's not an AT or later.) The DOS clock and the BIOS clock both pass, but when the programs go to check the real-time clock, it isn't there. -- Visit the HP200LX web pages at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 19 Nov 1997 16:29:24 -0800 Reply-To: losborn@teleport.com Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Lewis Osborn Subject: Re: 95lx misbehavin' MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit GENE JOHNSON wrote: > > My 95 lx has had low main battery warnings for a long while, even with brand > new batteries, then the screen started to now display until I either: 1) > massaged it with thumb & index finger back of lid; or maybe 2) things warmed > up due to above raising the ambient temp of the screen (?)....

My memory is hazy, but it seems that the warning was a false alarm, but very expensive to repair. Others may have a better recollection of the details. I notice that you didn't mention the 100/200lx.

Which, if you'll pardon me for replying to myself, brings up an interesting point: how does the 200LX maintain the date and time when the system is hard-reset? Obviously the only reason it doesn't reset the date and time (and the computer and your C: drive, for that matter) every time you power down is that you aren't really powered down but merely in "deep sleep" mode. But what about CTRL-SHIFT-ON? Does that not disrupt the clock? I've noticed that sometimes when I CTRL-SHIFT-ON (maybe one in five) it resets the date and time. Does anybody have any specific details on why that happens? I suppose I could look in the developer's guide... but that's not as interesting as starting a discussion. :) -- Visit the HP200LX web pages at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 20 Nov 1997 11:55:43 +1100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Brendan Macmillan Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Brendan Macmillan Subject: Re: Year 2000 problem In-Reply-To: <347387BF.8A8491A2@accessnv.com> from "David Sargeant" at Nov 19, 97 04:43:44 pm MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > interesting point: how does the 200LX maintain the date and time when > the system is hard-reset? > But what about CTRL-SHIFT-ON?

I use the modem daily hitting a cc processor, and a few times a week to get e-mail using nettamer. I use nettamer to dialup to a ppp account then telnet where I need to go. Although I use the scheduler I rarely set alarms which keeps battery life up in my experience. With my typical usage (described above) I change my batteries about once every 4-6wks. using Duracell AAs. By Comparison, using the same setup with a X-Jack 14.4 modem (model 1444 i think) Im good for about an hour of usage per set of batteries. For me its a better trade, just to telnet at 2400 and use LYNX on the host for the web and pine for e-mail.

The key surround (the plastic sheet with zoom, date, time etc written on it) is contact glued in and can be lifted out relatively easily. Just prize up one edge near a corner with a knife being careful not to cut or kink the plastic. Lift it off and place in a clean area to keep dust off the glue. After the complete backup you could remove all batteries and try washing the offending keys in clean/pure water and re-drying.

I'll post a page up to my web site describing it, with pictures. I had to remove some little plastic walls to get the jack to fit in there, but I don't think it affected the palmtop's structural integrity. The jack is located just to the left of the PCMCIA slot. It's not a regular size 1/8" jack, it's a 3/32", so you have to get an adapter for regular headphones/speaker/etc. Also there are a couple of small problems: it probably needs a resistor soldered in, because without it, the sound from the headphones can be heard miles away. (Well, almost. :) Ideal would be potentiometer, but there's not really room. Another problem is that, if you get it too close to the PCMCIA slot, you could make it difficult to get your cards in.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit This is being forwarded without comment. It was posted in the comp.sys.handhelds newsgroup. Dear Palmtop users, We are looking to hear from palmtop, PDA and WIndows CE users about what would make an ideal palmtop computer. This information will be used to help establish design perameters for the "ideal" palmtop, and if we can generate enough demand for such a system, the financing and facilities for this project are available to the point where it could be produced and in the market by Q3 1998! For years, the HP200LX has been the standard, but it is slow, has no backlit screen, and is quickly losing compatibility with mainstream computing. The Palm Pilot has a wide following, but in itself has many limitations, as do most of the Windows CE machines which do not come close to living up to the pre-release hype. So we put it to you, what makes a good palmtop? What would be the IDEAL palmtop computer? Would it support DOS, Windows 95, Unix? All three? What about Windows CE? What would the keyboard be like? What about the screen? Does it need a hard drive? How much memory and what type of processor? How about it's minimum or maximum size, shape and weight? What about price? At what point does a palmtop computer become too expensive? Is there a performance/price factor involved or is it simply a matter of dollars per unit? What accessories would be required and what would be reasonable price for these accessories? Battery life is important as well. Would you trade battery life for a high performance system like the Toshiba Libretto (which gets about 45 minutes per battery charge) or would a good palmtop need long battery life like the HP200LX (3-4 weeks) over fast performance? What ports and features would need to be built into the palmtop versus perhaps adding on via a docking station? What about built in software? In addition to email, is Internet web browsing important? Given that any modems, modem software, or intensive graphics drains batteries faster than a Ferrari drinks gas, how important is this? At what modem speed would you need to be connected? Give it some thought. Talk about it on your newsgroups, but if you really want your opinion to mean something, be sure to send your comments to me via email so we can incorporate your ideas into planning for a real product. Thank you for your time and your input. mark@taf.net -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 20 Nov 1997 17:47:06 +0100 Reply-To: vincent.mollimard@esstin.u_nancy.fr Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: MOLLIMARD Organization: Ecole des Sciences et Technique de l'Ingénieur de Nancy Subject: Re: External speaker for 200LX Comments: To: David Sargeant Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit David Sargeant wrote: > ... > (Well, almost. :) Ideal would be potentiometer, but there's not really > room. > Another problem is that, if you get it too close to the PCMCIA slot, you > could make it difficult to get your cards in. You may fix the potentiometer between the hp and the headphones. I mean on the cord.

You might want to try another download and then try installing that version. I have installed Agenda on a Win95 machine and a WinNT without any difficulty. Indeed, the Win95 laptop (Pentium 90) which I use to backup my Palmtop flashcard runs Agenda at a speed that brings tears of envy to my eyes. However, I still prefer the instant on/off of my 200LX - and the 200LX goes everywhere and gives me instant access to my Agenda files. Life is full of compromise!!

I have also used an Ace df+ card as well as a Smart Memorymodem before switching to the EXP. In my opinion the df+ barely degrades battery life (only about 5%) the smart about 15% and the EXP about 30%. Sprinkle in a 2x crystal and some compression software and you're down to 50% especially if you switch your machine on/off hundreds of times a day as I do.

It is produced by D&A Software, Inc. and I am a principal in the company, and benefit from any sale it makes, so you know what my bias is :-) ... WWW/LX: This is the announcement I posted a long time ago, circa October 1996 (!) Post/LX: This is the additional client to do email and newsgroups. Came out June 1997. The entire package is now sold as one item, not in parts, under the name "WWW/LX Plus". It lists for US$ 119.00 plus shipping from D&A Software, and it is also available from our dealers. (Shier is the main dealer in US and Rundel Datentechnik is main dealer in Europe. I do not know their prices, but I believe they are lower, worth checking ...) Sorry about the length of the post. I will not repeat this regularly, not to worry! ... Best regards, Avi Meshar D&A Software, Inc. ---------- WWW/LX Announcement ---------- D&A Software Inc. is pleased to announce that WWW/LX is now available. WWW/LX is a World Wide Web browser. It consists of the browser program, a communications program, and a setup program. The browser program is HV version 2.0. HV stands for HTML Viewer. This program displays HTML documents and images inline. The program supports HTTP access, Hotlist, and Find, among many of its features. It will display pages found on the Palmtop, or request (from WWW.EXE) to obtain the document from a remote site. Help is available on-line by using the F1 key. The display of GIFs may be toggled. The program utilizes a cache to retain images and documents and save download time. WWW.EXE is the communication program providing the functionality of a TCP/IP stack and other tasks such as managing the serial port, the scripts etc.. This program supports SLIP and PPP protocols. It uses a script to dial and establish a connection to your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The configuration file for the WWW.EXE program is managed by WWWSETUP which is an easy to use configuration program. Each ISP has a setup describing specific information about it, and a script which manages the interaction between the Palmtop and the ISP. The configuration file contains several examples of working setups and scripts for many popular ISPs. Also some generic setups and scripts are included. WWW.EXE and HV constitute a powerful, compact Web browser. It works with about 200K on disk, and can run inside the System Manager. (Additional space is required for downloaded documents, images and indexes.) The architecture of the product is modular, i.e. HV and WWW.EXE communicate via an application program interface (API). Other applications that provide Internet services may use this interface as well. Examples: E-mail application and Newsgroups retrieval. D&A Software will provide these applications in short order. This architecture allows the Palmtop to manage a connection to the Internet in a lean and efficient manner. Availability Date: October 6, 1996 We would like to acknowledge the hard work and enthusiasm of the Beta Test Team, the best there is! HP and it employees have provided valuable support and guidance during the development and we are thankful to them. Last, but not least, the PAL Group which has developed PAL (Palmtop Application Library) contributed much to making WWW/LX "look and feel" like the System Manager application of the HP Palmtop. ---------- Post/LX Announcement ---------- ---------- Post/LX Announcement ---------- D&A Software, Inc. is proud to announce that Post/LX is now ready. Post/LX is the E-Mail and Newsgroups component which works with the communication engine from WWW/LX. Post/LX will be available only as part of the repackaged (and improved) WWW/LX, starting the first week of June 1997. Post/LX adds the long-awaited E-Mail and Newsgroups component to the suite of client programs now available for WWW/LX. Some of the features of Post/LX include: - Post/LX is made of three main components: Reader, which manages messages and lets you read and reply off-line, POST, which performs the sending and retrieval of E-Mail messages, and NEWS, which performs the sending and retrieval of newsgroups articles. Post/LX is a DOS application, and can run inside Systems Manager as well as outside System Manager. - A GUI interface that uses the PAL emulation of the HP System Manager "look and feel", is used in READER. The ability to work on E-Mail off-line, saves you connect charges, and gives you mobility and flexibility. - Folders to help you organize your messages and increase your productivity. Filters may be applied to E-Mail messages, to redirect them to appropriate folders. - Filters applied to newsgroups article can block unwanted articles from ever reaching your Palmtop. - Multiple E-Mail addresses may be checked to download E-Mail in one session. Similarly, multiple Newsgroups may be "visited" and scanned for new articles. You select the best connection, and Post/LX will retrieve your E-Mail from several mailboxes in one online "mail run". - E-Mail may be sent to Distribution Lists (mailing lists), by using a simple list that is easy to manage. You may have as many lists as you wish. - E-Mail has integrated MIME encoding and decoding so you can send and receive binary files transparently to/from Internet correspondents. - Particular attention was paid to the platform and its limitations, so downloading volumes from newsgroups can be strictly controlled by applying several criteria, such as filtering, maximum lines, maximum size, only the last few messages posted, scanning headers only to select articles to download, and so on. There are other auxiliary programs in the package to manage files, = setup and so on. Our gratitude goes to two other groups who were part of this effort, and contributed in a very decisive way: - The Beta Testers who were completely unyielding and insisted on the best quality, the best features, the most flexibility. The product demonstrates their spirit and excellence in abundance. - The PAL group, headed by Gilles Kohl, which created a library of functionality emulating the graphical user interface (GUI), familiar to you from the HP System Manager. Without their contribution, this product would not be possible. Thank you.

In fact, that's what I'm doing: using a headset with a built in volume control/power switch. But ideally, it should be in the palmtop itself. I had meant to bring the modified palmtop with me and take some pictures for the web site, but unfortunately I seem to have left it= at home. So it will be later this evening (Pacific US time) before I can get anything on the web site. As for the filter shown in the diagram from the PTP: you only need that if you're doing a lot of work with LXMIDI. Otherwise, you can just forget about it. BTW: the tip of my 30 watt soldering iron was almost perfect for melting the hole in the side of the 200LX. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 20 Nov 1997 17:23:07 -0500 Reply-To: skanman@MCI2000.com Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: Illuminations MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable If the parts are available and the right size, the backlight modification (using EL panels) shouldn't be too difficult. The trouble is: The reason you can see your palmtop's screen is that there is a reflective white sticker stuck to the back of the screen. Light bounces off this. It will not go through it very well at all, from front or back. If you install an EL panel, it goes behind it, and you can't see the light it gives off because the sticker is in the way.= Removing the sticker (no easy task; it's on there good and tight) reveals the EL panel, but then you can only see the display when the panel is on. The best way would be to replace the reflective sticker with a transreflective sticker that reflects incident light but transmits light from behind. Unfortunately I don't know if these are even available, much less where to get one. Plus the EL panel requires an external battery pack, uses lots of power, wears out after a few thousand hours of use... There are other, more elegent solutions being worked on, but don't hold your breath... -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 20 Nov 1997 17:23:10 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Touchpad on the palmtop MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Anybody looking for a mouse for the palmtop? The Cirque Easy Cat touchpad is an inexpensive and small pointing device that you can use with the 200LX. It sells for under $30 and has some neat features, not to mention its size. I think with a little effort it could be modified with a direct 200LX cable and to clip onto the side or front of the palmtop... allowing you to, for example, make drawings in Autosketch...

My Velo1 can a little over 1K per minute of recording time and for voice recording it is perfectly understandable. This isn't music quality recording but generally better than most of the voice memo machines on the market today. Plus with additional software my Velo1 can be trained to understand voice commands, I was actually amazed at how accurite it was. For all you anti-windowsce people, I do own and use an HP200LX but was pleasantly suprised at the capabilities of the Velo1.

My Velo1 can a little over 1K per minute of recording time and for voice recording it is perfectly understandable. This isn't music quality recording but generally better than most of the voice memo machines on the market today.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hi everyone, here's a problem that I haven't heard anything about on the list and am wondering if anyone has experienced the same. Just a few days ago I noticed that the rate at which my cursor was blinking seemed way too fast. So, I went into my appointment book and the clock in there was counting off time 4 times its normal speed! Even the stopwatch was counting time at four times its normal speed. I went into World Time to see if there was something different but it was also having the same problem. The interesting thing is, though, that when I look at the time my palmtop reads when I shut it off and then turn it back on it has corrected itself to the normal time, and then once again goes bazerk. This would lead me to believe that my internal clock is not off, but something within the Application Manager is. I don't have any software to check my clock speed within dos which might be another check I could do. Any ideas?

I haven't used the memo function much recently so I was a little off there. :-() It may reach better compression levels for longer messages, I have never tried it. Also, not only is the recorded data stored in a compressed format but the underlying object store compresses files too so that might account for some more space saving. the 1 hour per megabyte might reflect better compression on both parts in CE 2.0.

I bought it for $19.00 from Shier. By the way, just this morning I connected my 200LX to my iomega Zip Drive. Very pleased with that capability.

Comments: cc: mitch@palmtop.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hi, As I know there are only one way to do EXM programs in a simple way (easier than using HP's development kit which requires MS C 6.0) which will be 100% compatible with all the build-in functions=>USE NKIT (at S.U.P.E.R : www.palmtop.net). You need also the The Developer's Guide or The HP Palmtop Paper's CD Infobase CD-ROM which you can buy from Thaddeus (www.thaddeus.com). It's also very helpful with a collection of some Japanese Programs of which many includes the source code. I am not a programmer, but I found EXM programs so interesting that I actually took a look at the source code of several Japanese programs and a peek in the Developer's Guide. It took me ruffly 5 evenings of study (as a non programmer!!!) With these sources, I could do my own simple program. Yes, I am not a programmer but Turbo C is not that difficult if you look at some examples- at least not when you write SIMPLE STUFF like I did!! With NKIT you can use Turbo C++ 1.0 and above which makes things cheaper and easier!!!!!! There are many advantages with EXM programs!!! One that you all probably have already seen is that you can switch between several applications. Another which I realized when I was playing around with EXM programming was the size of the programs. I made a simple program which could read the serial port of my HP 200LX and collect the GPS data (from my Tripmate) and then display it on the screen with the current coordinates, time, speed e.t.c. with some simple calculations. I made the same program the conventional way, also with menus, but as an EXE program. The difference in size was interesting!!!: The EXE program was about 27Kb big and the EXM about 3Kb!!!! I realized that the reason for this small size is that the HP 200LX HAS ALL THE FUNCTIONS BUILD-IN in the ROM so it's just to call them up in an EXM program and there you have the menus, radio buttons e.t.c. I also found another interesting advantage- you can actually make programs which is "running all the time". I mean if you call up the drop down menu in an EXE program all activities will stop waiting for your input. But in an EXM program it will not stop, but continue processing while you are using the menu- for example. Now maybe some of you say that it's no point to make an EXM program since you can only have 8 of them in a HP 200LX. But that's wrong ( I have 39 EXM programs in my 200LX)!!!! Thanks to Hiroyuki Sekiya and TabiKuro- two of MANY GREAT JAPANESE PROGRAMERS (and they are MANY!!!!!) we have MoreEXM and SMMx which will give you an 'unlimited' amount of EXM programs together with installed icons on your palmtop. I guess most of you know this by now, but better I mention it if not. I also should mention that thanks to MoreEXM, SMMx and MaxDOS (by MeW) (and a 85MB flash card) I have over 150 great programs on my palmtop which I can run from within the SysMgr and each one has its own icon!!! As I have said several times- I am NOT a programmer (unfortunately!!!) and have no time to learn REAL (I am over 30 now with a very busy schedule) C programming so it doesn't make it worthwhile doing some programming. I always have to look at examples and the help files in order to figure out how to do simple things. So it takes me a very long time to do a program. But I sincerely hope that some of you are interested in NKIT and will give it a try!!!!!!!! I can't help you much with the C programming itself, but please feel free to contact me anyway- for example a list of Japanese programs available on the net which has source codes so you can see the 'style of programming' could be useful- right!!!?. If you are serious about doing an EXM program but can't afford to buy the developer's Guide due to Studies or something like that- I am willing to let you send questions and I will check in my Developer's Guide (I don't thing that Thaddeus Computing will object since it's better with one more available EXM program than no program at all- am I right Thaddeus: Tom and Hal? Thaddeus- please send me an e-mail if you feel that I am to OPEN regarding YOUR material!!! Please be informed that if I receive questions from MANY people now, I know that some of you are trying to get "a free ride"- which means that you can afford spending a few $, but you prefers NOT- We don't like that!!! If you can afford The HP 100/200LX Developer's Kit, you should buy it since you will then support Thankers Computing and Thaddeus supports you- the HP 200LX user!!!!!!! In the Developer's Guide you can find at least 90-95% of what an advanced programmer needs to know about HP 100/200LX. I love my HP 200LX and since I can't make any sophisticated programs myself- I am more than willing to help you programmers out there- around the world- with as much as I can do. What I don't know, I can probably find out since I have access to a lots of interesting PUBLIC information about HP 200LX. But PLEASE be serious!!! I only reply to e-mail which sounds serious and NOT LIKE THIS (I have received many like the following): "Hi, I like the 200LX and since I want to do some nice programs- send me the info!!" ::No Manner at all!!!..: OR "Hi, I like to fart and I urgently need a program which can record my farts in real time using the 200lx palmtop" ::This guy has probaly been at 'www.farts.com' which I personally find most disgusting and a FUNNY place to be...:: Or "send me the norton commander 4.0- I need it!" ::What is this......???? Actually it's easy for me to see who is serious and NOT. I have received many funny e-mails and I am would like to receive a serious one from you!!! If you are serious- I know and I will make sure (up to 98%) that you get a reply which will help you in your programming. I also must mention that the NEW HP 360LX with Win CE 2.0 is a GREAT machine for people that likes a MS Windows interface on a palmtop! Actually, HP has the first Win CE 2.0 palmtop in the WORLD!!! The great thing with Win CE is that the concept: 'Palmtop PC' became well knowned even among "non-hacking" people!!! Now EVERYONE can use a palmtop but some (many) of us still loves the DOS package which we get in a HP 200LX and which we can keep in our pocket- true PC Power! So to be fair- if anyone of you programmers out there is interested in Developing Win CE programs but have difficulties to get started- please let me know and I will help you TO!!!!!!!! Thanks and Regards, Jorgen P.S. Please don't expect any reply from me before 2-3 maybe 5th or 6th of December since I am going to a big country somewhere in Asia- and I am not sure if I can retrieve my e-mail there or not.

I don't think that you have actually seen the Toshiba Libretto side by side with HP 620LX- that's why you say it's bigger than the Libretto!!! Have you actually seen these 2 PC's side by side???????? I don't think so!!!!!!!!! If you had, you have realized that HP 620LX is MUCH SMALLER than the Libretto and that the Libretto has less battery life and can't do the same thing as the HP 620LX can do in the long run!

But a tutorial is not realy necessary since I feel that if a guy like me can do a simple EXM program- so can you programmers. The tutorials are already there- the Japanese source codes!!! As I mentioned, a few days with the source codes and you are up and running. As I said, I am not a Programmer and I don't have the knowledge but since I have seen the NKIT- I am ready for a challange!!! My first wish is a GOOD Alarm Clock- I wish I could make one!!! But if anyone of you say that it's impossimple to do a good Alarm Clock using NKIT- I will try my best to prove you wrong! The problem is that I am not a programmer, but maybe I can do something anyway>>>>> If you need any help- ask the guy which don't know much! :)))) Me-la!

Yeah, but there are probably a lot of people who would give EXM's a try if there was a tutorial, instead of just having to decipher source codes themselves.

You are quite right. I have not actually seen the product in Hong Kong. Probably you know more than I do as a product manager in Asia Pacific. When will it be launched in Hong Kong? I will de finitely compare it with Libretto as I would like to replace my notebook computer with Libretto which is more appropriate for normal business travellers. Is there any potential for HP 620LX to replace a notebook computer?

The headline on the front of the magazine kind of sums it up: "Windows CE 2.0 does nothing to make handhelds more than oversized PDAs or underpowered latptops" The rest of the article was similarly unflattering. I guess HP and Packard Bell had not paid their advertising bills for the month. One interesting note was the the 360LX will ship with Nickel Metal Hydride batteries. I always thought HP hated those things. Also, the 620LX is a hoss; 20.5 ounces and measures 7.75 x 4.25 x 1.13 inches.

As anyone can see from our web site (www.hp.com/handheld) we are doing something that is not common for HP- going out with a early press release.... I am a HP 200LX 'Die Hard Fan' which will not give up my 200LX easily!!! But as a Product Manager for HP Palmtop PC's in Asia Pacific, I can see the fast growing potential for Win CE palmtops in this region from the day it was launched. Many countries in Asia Pacific is on our list of highly potential regions for sales of 360LX and 620LX. Singapore and Hong Kong is 2 of them! Even if the majority of us on this List is HP 200LX fans, the fact is that HP Win CE Palmtop has been very successful- far more successful than 200LX- so far and it's our intention to continue to be #1! Yes, Toshiba Libretto is a great PC but it's still a notebook! The price difference between Libretto and HP 620LX will still be an advantage to HP 620LX since we can expect more than 1/2 the price of a Libretto. The size is also much smaller than a Libretto and as a mobile person you can probably expect that you sooner or later will accidentally drop your PC. When you do that, the hard disk in a Libretto will give you BIG problems, but HP 620LX will still continue to run without a problem- HP Quality!!! The major question a mobile user has to ask himself is- what do I need to do with a mobile PC?? The Majority need to use a handheld PC for e-mail, web browsing, and working on documents and Excel files. This can be done comfortably already with a 360LX since it has 16 shades of gray and it is much faster than 320LX. So what is the next step? Many Users are telling me that color is nice but they don't realy need it. So with other words, I expect that 360LX will be a major hit when people realize what they need and one thing among it is battery life- which 360LX can deliver. Both units (360LX & 620LX) will give you a Pocket PowerPoint Presentation in the beginning of 98, which can be delivered through a VGA output. Even if the screen of 360LX has 16 shades of gray, a Pocket PowerPoint out put will deliver your presentation in color. We can also expect an ActiveX and Java plugin for Pocket Internet Explorer as soon as it will be released by MS. Frames are already supported. > >> >>Please don't forget that MS plan to have 2 Operating Systems in the end- MS >>NT and Win CE.

What might be the deciding point, at least for me, is if the VT100 emulation actually works and works well. I need that to support the 300 or so SUN SPARC servers that I support daily. How about network card support? Is that there yet??? The one thing I hate about Pocket WORD/Excel is that when you "import" them you lose say, 90% of your formatting. Why can't they just leave the file alone and just use the parameters that WinCE supports with out altering the file? This way I don't have to spent hours putting the formatting (fonts, colors, layout, graphics) back in when I bring it back to the desktop again.

The concept of success is different depending on which side of the product fence you are standing on. If the 200LX had half the advertisement support that the CE products have, I doubt that the CE products (at least in release 1.0) would have made quite the market penetration they seem to have. I also believe that if you target a group who's needs are less... (how do I say this without starting a _big_ fight) demanding, you are going to find it easier to report "successful" market performance. The users of the HP95,100,200 series of machines will always have problems with the CE products (at least until those products support DOS). We enjoy the power and qwerkyness of the more mature operating systems and don't like the popular trend towards total replacement of existing software. Face it, if you are using a product that is no longer supported by it's creators, weather it be hardware or software, you aren't going to want to drop it and go to something that does not provide the same end results. end of tirade. :) Phil -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 22 Nov 1997 03:24:00 +0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jorgen Wallgren Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jorgen Wallgren Subject: Re: HP 620LX Colored Palmtop PC Comments: To: Mark Sailer Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" >How about network card support?

What I mainly like with Win CE 2.0 is that MS will give now you some options: would you like to develop a program in Visual C++ 5.0, Visual Basic 5.0 or in Visual Java (it's coffe- right?). This gives the Win Ce platform a major advantage over 200LX since it's not that easy to make EXM programs (even if you use NKIT!!!) compare to VB.... However, I am not so sure that I am prepared to have a backup of my laundry when I run my Visual Win CE washing machine!!!?? According to MS a Win CE washing machine is a machine which exsist but still NOT exsist- since it's Visual. So if you want your dirty clothes to be there- they are. But on the other side if you preffer not- they are gone! So the question is if you want to see your dirty laundry or not! It's a little bit complicated since you can't actually see where your dirty clothes goes, but you will have a fealing of where they are since you still can feel a sense of shit..... The only problem is that when the clothes are in, you may not get them out. Which on the other side makes them cleaner than before- since you can't prove that they are not. This since you then can't compare- which makes sense according to MS. So with other words- if you call the MS support line, make sure your underware is full of shit and that you have it under you nose. Otherwise MS Support line will ask you if you ever bougth a machine or if you have anyting that smells shit in your home.. Hue- that was even complicated even for me! So how in h_ll am I going to start my Visual Girlfriend (according to MS I need a *.LOD file from the InstallShield SDK???)????? LIFE WAS EASIER BEFORE MICROSOFT!!!!!!!!!

Maybe if you get a lot= of questions we could compile an EXM FAQ list... See, the thing I have about examining source code is, a lot of the time it's not too clear what functions are being used, or what the programmer is trying to do. I know that if somebody examined MY code they'd probably go crazy from trying to figure out what I'm trying to accomplish. (One of the drawbacks of not being trained in the theory of computer science is having to come up with your own algorithms... which may or may not make sense to anybody else.) A tutorial would be useful to people like me who have some basic ideas about how to implement things, but need to know exactly how to implement it using code built in the ROM. Also, when you examine source code, you're looking at code designed= to do a specific task... not necessarily the same thing you want to do= in your program. A tutorial would explain in general terms. I haven't looked at much source code to the Japanese programs, though, so I can't say for sure how helpful it would be to me.

I'm not that familiar with these Omnibooks, so I have a couple of questions: How is this working out? What the best model for this type of use? What are the basic dimensions of the Omnibook closed and how much does it weight? How serviceable are their battery packs - hours of use?

Customers *want* something, you innovate to fill that need. If simple operation, or plug and play handhelds are required, then by all means..capitalise.

What if HP had done this - and the equivalant of the rest of its 3X0lx campaign - for the X00lx? What if Psion and the other companies producing WinCE palmtops had brought out machines to compete with the X00lx and ran the same aggressive advertising campaigns? What if the operating system and software for the X00lx had been the newest baby of the largest - the dominating - software company in the world with a media blitzing advertising campaign? How many 200lx's would HP have sold then? HP _never_ marketed the X00lx series, let alone aggressivly? What kind of meaning could that have given to the term No. 1? And what kind of target would it have given the 3X0lx?

Yes, HP obviously changed the strategy. Up to now, HP produced great stuff and did mediocre advertisement. Now they change to doing great advertisement and producing mediocre stuff. That way, a few ten thousand loyal customers are lost and a few hundred thousand new customers may be won. However, I wonder how long HP can compete with the "low quality for low prices" competition. I am sure they could have stayed the market leader with high quality products and loyal customers for many, many years. I would assume HP will make better numbers than ever for a year or two and then vanish from the market. Sad! Even sadder: it is very difficult to build a good reputation and a solid customer base and very easy to loose it. > comfortably already with a 360LX since it has 16 shades of gray and it = is > much faster than 320LX.

I agree 100%. I worked for HP as a process engineering technician for 15 month, temporary contract, at the european distribution center, in France. Quiet a Dibert experience, but many good memories too. My feeling there was that the LX serie was just an *internal* use product: all technicians and executives get one as a standard working tool. You could tell how long someone had been in HP just by looking its LX (95, 100 or 200...) We all know the potential of this toy. Some (I can easely count a ten) of my friends are just dying when they see me getting out my 200LX: they work in the fields as hardware and software technicians/engineers, mathematics, electronics, and so on... many of these peoples knew HP calculator from school but never heard of these palmtops. They would gladly buy one, the only problem being that it is now TOO LATE considering the price of these DOS toys in a world of Win soft (the dark side of the force just won at the end). Funny -or sad, in fact- how HP seems to have a marketing problem with domestic users and such potentialy big volumes selling products. Here in France very few people know HP. Many thinks that HP brand is a pale copy of Packard-Bell, only more expensive. And here comes HP, as if "the war was already won". HP encoutered here in France the same marketing problem with its Pavillion PC series (it's think it's getting better kow). I definitely have the feeling that all of us LX users are just dinosaurs (?). Hard boiled ones, but extincting species anyway. I think the last trial HP took in this field of open architecture palmtops was with the 700LX: a paltop to be used with a Nokia cellular for email and websurfing. I wish I could give it a try. Now HP is more and more "MS wise". Has a former HP employee, I would be glad to have Jorgen's point of view about this. More facts and examples about my point of view (poor HP marketing towards big selling volumes products - especially LX, and the MS wise turn) if any of you shows interest. To all of you please excuse the syntax and mispelling. From Paris, France, JB PS: all this doesn't apply to printer, a field in wich HP is doing very well, literaly making the market. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 22 Nov 1997 11:16:18 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ian Melville Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ian Melville Subject: Re: Relative success of HP CE machines: facts and figures?

There were some interesting things shown relative to palmtops, especially affecting my company. so I'll relay those. We were demonstrating our VGA card for palmtops with both WinCE and Newton units on display. I also had my HP200LX in plain view, so I could get as many different people to drop by as possible. First, some general stuff. In order of fanaticism, I'd have to rank the newton people at the top of the list. We had users come to the booth to tell us about how they'd taken our product to local tradeshows and done impromptu demos! Sorta the same feeling as you get from a Mac user. Those few 200LXers that stopped by were engineer types that had a very specific app and would not give up their 200's for anything. Not evangelical, but I'd say quitely determined - the Panasonic guy who used his to set up and troubleshoot video walls comes to mind. The WinCE people appear to be a pretty fickle bunch. They seemed to have purchased one without giving much thought to it (marketing hype, probably) and were looking for something to make it useful. When something better comes along, they'll be gone. I understand that v1 sales started strong and tailed off dramatically - a sign of poor word of mouth.... BTW, I had a fair number of Pilot users who were hoping my VGA card would connect via their serial port :-) and not a single Psion user that I know of. The WinCE hardware market is by far the most dynamic, with 7+ manufacturers on track for a new generation every 6 months. Our own market window has been truncated by NEC's and LG's decision to absorb the external VGA out capability into their products. Given the way everybody has widenned their screen to match HP within one generation, it won't be long. In my opinion, though, they are all headed in the wrong direction with the latest NEC machine as big as a Newton keyboard. Its definitely not a pocket device any more. Actually, it is a logical extension, given Microsoft's tendency to make their software biigger and fatter with every generation. As to Andreas's comments about pPowerPoint being crippleware - depends. If you make your own presentations, then you are right. My impression, though, is that the person who makes the presentation is usually not the presenter. We had many people come to the booth who liked pPP precisely because the slides could not be altered - ensuring a consistent message from all sales people. To cap off, I think there will always be room for the 200 because of the small size, the ease of developing quicky apps, and because of the need of some of us to know in detail what's going on in our computers. I just wish nettamer couldbe set up as easily for email as WinCE. I've never been able to do it, but it only took 2 minutes on THIS WinCE machine!!

I don't think it's too late. I just bought my 200LX a few weeks ago. I had previously bought a Compaq C140 and was reading comp.sys.handhelds to try and resolve some of its inadequacies. In the process I learned about the 200LX. It took me about two days to decide to get one. I put the C140 down that same day and sold it shortly after. My guess on the marketing of DOSLX's? When they first came out they were pretty pricy. This significantly limited the market. By the time the price had come down to a widely acceptable level, DOS systems had been pretty well replaced with Windows. I guess what I'm trying to say, I don't think it was an HP decision to hold back the DOSLX in any way. It's just that other factors limited the market in one way or another. If the market is known to be limited for some valid reasons, is there any point in pumping large quantities of advertising revenue into it? > I definitely have the feeling that all of us LX users are just dinosaurs > (?). Hard boiled ones, but extincting species anyway. Hah! I *loved* this. :) In bicycling circles there is a term for a person who resists new technology that has questionable advantage over the old. That term is: retrogrouch. I happily consider myself a DOS retrogrouch. My work computer is a Compaq pentium with 32 MB running Windows 3.1. I use it mainly for word processing with occasional web, acrobat, and spreadsheet use. Typically it crashes several times a day. I just bought a Compaq Presario for my family. In limited use while setting it up, I found I had to reboot it occasionally to get it to work properly. My desk has (and will continue to have!) a 286 clone on it. In the same way, my new 200LX is great! DOS gives me tremendous control over the tasks I choose to perform. It may take some work to get it set up properly, but once done it is considerably faster than any Windows applications. It is also more capable. > To all of you please excuse the syntax and mispelling. From Paris, > France, Your writing was entirely clear and demonstrated the same kind of thinking. No apology needed.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit After much deliberation, I opened up my 4MB 200 to fix an unsprung slot door. I had discovered that the spring which holds the door closed actually broke, and a small piece of wire was lurking about in my palmtop! I removed the offending wire, and pulled the last coil of the spring straight again, then replaced the spring and door. Good as new! By the way, I was worried that any tool I used to pry apart the front part of the unit would scar the finish. I wound up using an old ATM card that had a bad stripe, and it worked perfect. It's thin profile slips in the crack easy, and once it's in, simply twist the card until it feels like the card's gonna snap. That's about how much force it took to break apart the case the first time, probably because of those two pins in front.

SOLUTION: NOTE: The information below is based wholly or in part on material found in the Microsoft Resource Kit on the Microsoft TechNet CD. To install Windows 3.1-based applications and MS-DOS-based applications in Windows 95, perform the following steps: 1. Insert the installation disk or compact disc (CD-ROM) for the application to be installed in the appropriate drive (for example, A or B). 2. Click the Start button on the Windows 95 Taskbar. 3. Select Settings. 4. Select Control Panel. 5. Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon. 6. Click the Install button. 7. Click the Next button (assuming the diskette or CD-ROM has already been inserted in the appropriate drive as described in step #1 above). 8. Click the Finish button when the appropriate .EXE file has been detected (for example, A:\INSTALL.EXE). 9. Complete the installation for the application as usual. This wizard leads you through the steps to install the application on your computer. When you install MS-DOS-based applications, the wizard lets you choose an icon for the application. It copies information about the application from the APPS.INF file to the applications .PIF file. In Windows 95, .PIF files work in the same way as link (.LNK) files under Windows 3.1. Therefore, when you copy an MS-DOS-based application, you really copy the .PIF file, not an .LNK file. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 22 Nov 1997 19:24:00 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , rick@EZSHOW.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Rick Kozak Subject: Re: New Palmtops Built In Apps Speed Everything is now acccessible from the START button.

SInce Agenda is basically a bulleted list data base, i= t was easy to assign many attributes to each bullet andf to rearrange them = in any fashion for reporting. This was great for publishing weekly project status reports and generally keeping things on track. Basically, I used Agenda instead of any project management software -- and also used it to build a history of each attribute of the project.

What version of MSD are you running? The version that came with 6.22 didn't work on my 200LX, so I had to use the version that came with 5.0. It was very interesting: COM1 showed up as an 8250. COM2 showed up as a 16550 when I had my PCMCIA modem in, but then as soon as I popped it out, the display for COM2 disappeared. Popping it back in brought it back up again. I didn't know Microsoft's diagnostics were good enough to do real-time status displays. :) I guess the only question this matters for is, should it be possible to run an external 33.6 modem at full speed on a double-speed 200LX? Or will it max out at around 19.2? -- Visit the HP200LX site at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 23 Nov 1997 16:59:21 -0500 Reply-To: anborg@ksts.seed.net.tw Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: anborg Subject: Re: External modem speed?

We all remember when Microsoft refused to pay for using Stacker and the court said, "no pay, no use". DOS 6.21 is the outcome of that little entertainment. It is DOS 6.20 with the "Stacker" removed. I don't take this 8250 problem very seriously. I have seen speeds up to 50K plus between two computers across the room. Of course, this is a direct line and if you have an external modem, there could be some problems. I would say, try it and see if it works for you.

What would you do? download Lotus Agenda for free and install on the 200LX or purchase a copy of Info Select for the HP200LX from Micro Logic? I'd be really interested to receive your thoughts. I have to make that decision as in my job as a Product Developer, althogh the mobility of the HP200Lx is great, I have a crazy amount of packets of info hitting me every day from two e-mail systems, phone and fax etc and I feel need a better way of coping with it than the built - in HP200LX functions (calender, to - do, database, notebook etc). I do have global search from SUPER running but this doesn't of course bring up all relevant info from a keyword search simultaneously in the way that Agenda and IS would - rather you have to launch each application one at a time. My limited understanding of the pros and cons of the two options are as follows:- FOR/AGAINST AGENDA It's free! It's apparently very powerful I've heard It's hard to learn. I downloaded it onto my PC yesterday for evaluation prior to loading on the HP200LX but without the manuals I'm finding it hard to get started. I've heard it's slow on the HP200LX FOR/AGAINST INFO SELECT Have to purchase Very powerful Easy to learn? Acts as a free - form database. Can enter info in many different views. User friendly notes pop up after searches I guess I'm leaning towards Info Select but as I said, any views would be of great interest to me. (Sorry to stray off the list topic, but dare I say there is another option for me which is to get a WinCe Palmtop running (the dreaded Microsoft) Pocket Outlook. My limited understanding of Outlook is that you search on key word(s) and you get all relevant notes and files.

AGENDA IS PERFECT FOR YOUR SITUATION. It is designed to take lots of small pieces of information, help you organize this information, and help you find relationships between them when they exist. Use the Information Sifter application that comes with Agenda. It is specifically designed to take information from external sources (like e-mail, news, documents, ..., etc.) and organize it. To make this work, you also need to get a handle on making definition files. These files are used to define how different types of structured text information is imported directly into Agenda. > >My limited understanding of the pros and cons of the two options are as >follows:- > >FOR/AGAINST AGENDA > >I've heard It's hard to learn. I downloaded it onto my PC yesterday for >evaluation prior to loading on the HP200LX but without the manuals I'm >finding it hard to get started. Actually, Agenda is fairly easy to learn, on the surface. The problem is, it is such a powerful and complex application, it is difficult to understand the nuances of how it works and how to make it work for you. A manual is invaluable. I checked at Borders and they can get two Agenda manuals. I suggest you make the investment and find out how to make Agenda work for you. >I've heard it's slow on the HP200LX Agenda is only slow when you are asking it to organize information or to invoke certain functions. Then the typical delay is 10 seconds. However, when you are doing data entry and editing, it is very responsive. In fact, it is comparable to many Win95 applications running on a Pentium 120. We are just spoiled by the responsiveness of the 200LX under normal situations. I think that on a double speed 200LX, it performance will be very acceptable. My biggest complaint about running Agenda on a 200LX is the small type on the display. ______________________________________________ "Michael Stocker" 11/23/97 6:22:59 PM EST ______________________________________________ -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 23 Nov 1997 19:47:00 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , PALMTOPS@AIRGUNHQ.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List Comments: Resent-From: PALMTOPS@airgunhq.com Comments: Originally-From: jim.henry@airgunhq.com (Jim Henry) From: PALMTOPS@AIRGUNHQ.COM Organization: AirPower Information Services (610) 259-2193 Subject: 200LX still produced/sold?

Trust me. The 200LX is the right choice. The palmtop with MS Works hardcoded is the one I got-- the PTV30 "Super Palmtop." This is NOT a palmtop. It's about as 1.5 times as long as the 200LX, about as wide as the 200LX is long, and about the same thickness. It was very surprising how huge it was when I got it. There was no way it could fit in a pocket, even a really big one. The larger keyboard was actually HARDER to type on than the 200LX-- it was very "soggy," so to speak, and I often found myself thinking I had hit the key when in fact I hadn't, or accidentally typing two or three letters. And it lacked the great PIM software that comes with the 200LX. And, it ran Works SLOWER than my 200LX! Sorely disappointed, I returned it, and went out and purchased another 200LX. I should've stuck with it from the beginning. :) The only real advantage that palmtop had was the built-in Works 2.0, the two PCMCIA sockets, and the parallel port. Other than that, it was pretty much identical to the 200LX.

Maybe they can't. It sounds like an all-or-nothing proposition. Am I right in assuming that once committed to LA or IS, you can't enter phone numbers or any relevant info into the built-in PIMS without then exporting the info to LA/IS? This would add a level of redundancy unless you're willing to commit to using LA/IS as a complete replacement for the built-ins. That means giving up entering PIM information while having Stopwatch,Worldtime,PocketQuicken,HPCalc,etc, running at the same time. More to the point for me, I use Lotus 123. The spreadsheets that I build are an important part of any "notes" relevant to a project, yet it sounds like I'd have to print or text-export a copy of the spreadsheet to either LA/IS in order for them to recognize the information. Likewise with people who use PocketQuicken to log expense items...these wouldn't automatically get captured into LA/IS without a manual export process (am I right?). OK, I admit I haven't played with either LA/IS yet....guess I'm getting cautious and skeptical in my old age . - Longden Net-Tamer V 1.08 Palm Top - Registered -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 24 Nov 1997 08:09:18 +0100 Reply-To: mail@port-home.com Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Port-Home Organization: Support Center for Mobile Devices Subject: Re: Zip Drive MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > >200LX to my iomega Zip Drive.

In my view Windows is "only" what brought computing to the masses (which everybody indirectly benefit from in the form of lower prices) as any birdbrain apparently can win'doze.

Jorgen Wallgren MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hello Jorgen and all others, It's nice seeing you here, Jorgen. I am happy to see that you are still using your 200LXs. Also, I want you to be sure that I highly respect your opinions. However, it seems that you have been quite influenced by the culture of your employer (HP's Asia Pacific Division), and as such, there are a number of statements in your messages that I find pretty significant: You wrote: >...not common for HP- going out for an early press release< If anything, that shows that HP is no longer the engineering company it used to be - selling well engineered, but poorly marketed product -, and is now turning into a marketing company "a la Microsoft", doing just the opposite - selling badly engineered products such as WinCE (or WinAnything, for that matter) thanks to marketing. And since you were about the last engineering-minded company in the computer business, you might well end up losing more customers than you will gain in doing so - at least you will lose me. >...when people realize what they need< This blatantly supports my affirmation above. So you believe that people are not intelligent enough to know what THEY need, and that you, the marketing people, are in better place to define their needs? Sorry, but I don't see how this could be true. Right, many people (most?) have been stupid enough to follow the marketing advices, otherwise Windows wouldn't have been a success. All versions of Windows are such peace of trash that anyone with a decent mind should have tried to find a way to avoid using it. IMHO, they would have been better off today, had they stayed with their Dos-based 8088. As far as handhelds are concerned, I don't want you to feel offended, but if I was the typical WinCE target customer, I would rather go for a Pilot or a Psion. BTW, I think the Libretto has no hard disk, and uses PCMCIA cards instead. So it could use a large flash card, instead of a type III hard drive. As far as HP's quality is concerned, I did not try it, but I would rather be suspicious about it: With the current trend focusing on cost reductions everywhere in manufacturing, even Mercedes has left quality aside. >...need e-mail, web browsing< Like it or not, but the informative part of the Internet resides in the ASCII parts - e-mail, newsgroups, and FTP. Informative web pages can be requested via e-mail, and for the rest, the Web, graphics and all, is mostly used for advertising. So, does one really NEED that? "LIKE" would be more appropriate. >...give you a choice: Visual Basic, Visual C++, or Java...< Visual Basic 1.0/Dos works on the 200LX. C++ is also available, and as a programmer, I know it is by far more efficient than Java. Besides, Microsoft Java isn't really Java compatible (it doesn't support "standard" Java). BTW, thanks a lot for your nice comments about writing EXMs. As an experienced programmer, I will invest that option as soon as I find some time. You mentioned you would like a good Alarm Clock. As there are already such programs out here, are there any specific features you would like to see? >...2 operating systems in the future: WinNT and WinCE< If I had to choose, or write a program for a portable machine other than the 200LX, I would prefer a Libretto (or an IBM PC110, for that matter) loaded with WinNT over a WinCE machine. Though if I had a choice, I would install Linux on such a machine instead. Well, I hope you take it all well. I have written published praises for HP and its 200LX in the past, but this time, I had to react. Be sure your answers will be welcome, as I would be glad to find proofs that HP is still an engineering company focusing on quality.

And it lacked the great PIM software that comes with the 200LX. This is how I got into Palmtopping, I ALMOST bought one of those and it was an accident of fate that brought me to the 100LX instead. I needed a small portable computer to take to the 1993 Gun Rights Policy Conference in D.C. I ordered one of the above from the mail order outfit DAK. Waiting and waiting, with time running out, I got UPS to run a trace on it. Turns out that UPS accidentally delivered to a home a block away from me, and the cretin who received it signed my name! I had a hell of a time convincing DAK I never received it, and as a result will never do business with them again (UPS was completely forthright about admitting their mistake and their responsibility). I did a credit card chargeback or probably never would have gotten DAK to do the right thing - moral, never do mail order any way OTHER than credit card. By the time this was all straightened out I had little time, the GRPC was less than a week away, so I went to the local computer superstore and discovered the 100LX. It didn't have MS Works nor 2 PCMCIA slots like the other, but I felt the smaller size meant I probably had a better chance of not having it stolen at work since I could keep it in my shirt pocket. I'm certainly glad I never bought that "Super Palmtop"! Jim@AirGunHQ.com * 1st 2.00 ~ Hi, I'm from the government.

Besides its size and weight, you can buy a Quanum Fireball ST 2.1Gb HDD for _250AUD. I have heard of a PCMCIA to IDE card. This seems to me to be a LOT cheaper per meg than PCMCIA (with loss of transportability). OK, you need a power source, the HDD is bigger and heavier than the HPLX, but if you only wanted that type of storage at your desk, and a smaller PCMCIA memory card for portability, could you actually utilise the full 2.1Gb? How many partitions would you need? Is this possible?

I think IBM had a go at traditional QC values with their PC's. And look where it got them... Lest we forget that DOS itself is surely such a product. It's just that it takes 10 years to stablise.

OTOOH, HP is probably much better at it's traditional market niche, of excellent-quality, high-utility, but uncool and unsexy products, than producing crap. Hopefully they won't make enough money out of producing crap. But if they can get a better return on investment by doing that, they *owe* it to their shareholders to do just that.

They are, of course, milking the cash cow, cashing in their reputation capital, burning the candle at both ends; but long term thinking is hard to do if you are a just-employed MBA graduate, eager to make your mark. It's different if you were with the company from the beginning, and it's your baby, and you wouldn't give up what you worked so hard for, for anything. -- bren@cs.monash.edu.au Brendan Macmillan "What is bought with money or with goods is purchased by labour as much as what we acquire by the toil of our own body." -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 25 Nov 1997 01:12:36 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , kilgore@PYLON.PILLAR.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stan Hall Organization: Pillar Communication Subject: Re: FS: Flash Cards Comments: To: Mary and Mike Kilpatrick MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Mary and Mike Kilpatrick wrote: > > have a couple of extra Flash Cards I am not using in my 200LX. > New-in-the-box, HP F1012A 5MB Flash Disk for Hp100LX and HP200LX.

Put together a software and let the users report the bugs. Then give them patches... This instead of comming out with a solid software from the beginning. However, since Microsoft has changed the whole PC industry companies has to follow if they want to get a part of the market. It's a fact that if you for example ask 1000 users what they think about MS Windows 95 and NT- the Majority will reply- "I love those platforms". If not the majority had liked what MS offers- MS had never become this BIG- right? Same thing with palmtop users- the majority loves Win CE and what it can offer. Yes, there are a lots of PC and palmtop users that don't like Windows at all and think it's a low quality platform. BUT unfortunately we are a minority and any company that wants to "make it big" in the PC industy today must give the Majority what they want unless they focus on a niche market. But even a niche market must be big enough to give a return of investment. What I write here is my private opinion and I will not discuss HP's philosophy. HP can't be that wrong since HP is currently the leading company in palmtop PC's and one of the leading brands in the PC and Notebook markets. > >You wrote: > >>...not common for HP- going out for an early press release< > >If anything, that shows that HP is no longer the engineering company it used to >be - selling well engineered, but poorly marketed product -, and is now turning >into a marketing company "a la Microsoft", doing just the opposite - selling >badly engineered products such as WinCE (or WinAnything, for that matter) >thanks to marketing.

Any company in the PC industry must be flexible in they way to do business. If you don't adapt to the markets requirements, you will loose out! Now when the 2nd round in the "Win CE competition" starts, you have to chose if you should give what the Majority wants to have or not. I fully understand HP 200LX users and their frustration. But I don't understand why so many 200LX users are so upset over the Win CE palmtops. If the majority of palmtop users wants a Win CE palmtop let them have it and as a user I can still chose to use my HP 200LX which is for me the best palmtop in the world. Since HP will continue with HP 200LX a Win CE palmtop is not a replacement it's an additional choice. Even if someone would try to develop 200LX further, the result will most probably be a DOS palmtop which is bigger than 200LX and with much less battery life. I love my 200LX as it is and I will continue to use it for Many more years to come!!! I will give you another example- 14 years ago I bought a HP 41CX calculator. It's still working and it can do everything I need to do- so I am not looking for an replacement- I am still using it. > >>...when people realize what they need< > >This blatantly supports my affirmation above.

Yes, you could probably remove the harddisk in a Libretto and use a 85MB flash card instead- but on the other side why use a "big" mini notebook as Libretto if you can do the same job using a 200LX?

I and a friend has actually already done a DOS Alarm Clock (EXE) with high resolution of the time and which will wake up the palmtop when the alarm goes.

In short, I think it's ok for any company to produce any kind of product that gives the majority what they want. Unfortunately I am not a part of that majority when it comes to a palmtop PC. If I where, life had been much easier. Please I don't want to get angry replies about Win CE. I am a HP 200LX user and will always be and I am on your side.

Yes, unfortunately any serious company has to adapt to the fast changes in the PC industry and going with Microsoft WIndows is what the majority of the endusers want.

The 70CT just announced has I think a 1.3 Gb disk (and 120MHz MMX). So if anyone wants to know how big it really is...I can put my 200LX next to it. I could send a photo but 'no binary posts' so I will resist that. The really obvious things: 1. The 200LX turns 'off' and 'on' instantly. It's really never off. So it is always available, whereas with the Libretto I can't take down a phone number or note without resuming it - much longer. 2. The Libretto has real Win95. Not CE or any such wannabe software. So I have on here the very same Win95 build (corporate standard) that I have on my Tecra 720CDT. No compromise in applications I can run - it's just that this is slower and cannot have more than 32mb RAM - and many of you will know that Bloatware makes this just enough, no more. ÝYes I too ran paper tape through tine-sharing BASIC on HP2100 with 32Kb RAM that cost $$$ and took Spanish ladies a long time to knit the ferrite core memory, but ran FORTRAN II just fine¨. I can not only read my mail from the Exchange server, I can read the attachments. 3. The Libretto is bigger - about 100% by volume. It's still tiny compared to a normal laptop. Remember it is the same spec as a Toshiba T4900C ! I would need to get my tailor to make a pocket for it, or get a poacher's jacket. 4. The Libretto battery life is *very* short. I've been using the high-capapcity battery alternating with the normal one - it's still as low as 90 minutes of real use before it begins to complain. It has got the most fancy battery management software I have seen...I can set CPU/display/HDD etc activity individually, for each of 4 different battery levels. So as the battery drains it gets dim, slows down, stops the HDD more quickly etc. Compare the 200LX which I change batteries (dry cell Duracell) maybe 3 times a year - but to be fair the usage is very different. So overall these are not competing against each other. The HP200 is up against the Psion (in UK), Palm Pilot, Zaurus & co as a system which is really pocket size. It leads on built-in function for some, in DOS ability for others. The Libretto is a small laptop for big chiefs who cannot afford the space for a laptop (no no me, I try them out for them) in their slim Gucci briefcase. They can access the corporate mail, including attachments. The Win CE machines - never tried one but unless they have battery life like the 200LX they are at the mercy of the Libretto types. Why have 50% of Win95 when you can have it all ? The coporate software developers adn support staff would not hesitate to say 'use one o/s, not two'. Oh, and you can get Linux to run on the Libretto.... -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 25 Nov 1997 12:05:39 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Kiyoshi Akima Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Kiyoshi Akima Subject: OmniGo Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I realize this is slightly off-topic, but I don't know where else to go with this.

They do seem to loose power fairly constantly, or more correctly the voltage drop is fairly even under constant conditions such as consistent word processing, though this does speed up a bit towards the end of battery life. This is not quite what I expected from the description given by David Sargeant, though I have not plotted a graph to clarify matters. This sort of behaviour may appear to be a disadvantage over NiCads (which maintain a relatively high voltage almost to the end then die quickly) but it has not affected performance and it is easier to predict active life this way. It also looks as if you can mix fast and slow charging rates. The only aspect which has yet to be established is how well they preserve their charge on the shelf. They may not be holding their own, so to speak, against all others; but so far at least, I am very pleased with them. They will be of particular advantage for use in my wife's pocket tape-recorder. It is sometimes a problem when she tells me that the batteries are probably half used-up and she is about to go to a long meeting. If we leave the batteries in the recorder, then she may have to make two battery changes during the session (so far we've only had 600 mAh NiCads) and if I take them out I have to discharge them in order to recharge them fully again. It can take a bit of time and every extra cycle uses a small part of their life. I believe that research is still going on regarding the development of rechargeable AA-size lithium batteries. BTW, I have just discovered that you can get a new 200LX-8Mb Double-Speed Palmtop from Thaddeus -- they now do new Palmtop upgrades as well as reconditioned units. There will be a flier in the next edition of the Palmtop Paper. It is quite remarkable that my old 100LX still has the original backup battery cell in it and it measures 2.99 volts. It's definitely a current wonder. Is this a record? More to the point, any offers for it (the battery, not the 100LX)? Barry Collins TEAM 200LX (at last!) PS. Since I wrote this, several users in the HPLX Mailing List have queried whether in fact the backup battery is capable of taking up a presumably limited recharge. This has crossed my mind, too, especially as it has fluctuated slightly as reported, though it is supposed to be dangerous to recharge lithium batteries that are not designed as such.

I am using Battman.exe that came with my ACE card and ni-cads. Lately, my HP gives almost no warning before shutting off. To make matters worse, after turining the HP back on, it reboots, losing everything on C: There were a few times that it would NOT turn on, even after replacing the main batteries. I had to hold CTRL/SHIFT ON to even get going again. Since I try to avoid this procedure, I don't remember, but thought that I should be asked about initializing c:. This did not occur. I put in a new backup battery (the old one was reading 2.6 - 2.8 volts. - more than my main batteries frequently). The last time it cycled and main batteries replaced, the HP still rebooted, but didn't lose data on C:. The backup battery must have been too low previously. The question is: Shouldn't battman warn of low voltage BEFORE it is so low that the computer quits? I can't find any option to set or change the low voltage warning. Does ABCLX (or whatever it is called) give better warning/management? I charge the batteries externally and can change sooner if warned. Any other experience would be appreciated.

If anyone has *any* eva files already converted, it would be really cool to make them available in some way. One trick to avoid the copyright issue was used by a game company here in Melbourne.

I purchased my NiMH's from a local battery rebuilder that rebuilds all types of rechargeable battery packs for radios, tools, etc.. The only modification I had to make to my batteries was placing a bead of solder on the positive end of the batteries so they would make contact in the battery compartment. These particular batteries were deigned to have solder tabs for battery packs. They are 1100 mAh batteries and I gave $4.00 each for them. Good luck with your battery requirements. By the way, the name of the store where I purchased my batteries was Batteries Plus and I believe it is a franchise with other stores throughout the country. 73 de KF4KGQ Jeff Johns jeffj@scott.net Reserve Captain Patrol/Enforcement Division Jefferson County Sheriff's Dept Birmingham, Alabama USA http:\\www.bham.net\jcsd **This message was sent via UNIX, PINE and an HP200LX Palmtop PC !!!** On Tue, 25 Nov 1997 Class3Dep@AOL.COM wrote: > I was in Radio Shack yesterday.

Sorry, no FTP, you'll have to figure out how to get it on your own, and I don't have any links on my homepage either. This link will become active in maybe 5 minutes when I get it copied from my other computer and onto the server. Hey, and drop me a note if you like it, I may have to put Windows back on my computer to run the video editor. God forbid. ;) Ian Butler Advanced Software Systems, Inc.

Read up on what A2E will convert, and then use VidEdit to convert the movies to something A2E can read. Then A2E will convert the movies to something eva can read.

In my tests, the battery usually dropped to about 2.75 volts after chargin stopped. From there it dropped rapidly down to about 2.5 volts, where it slowly moved to 2.4 volts. Most of the life was spent between 2.35-2.42 volts. After that, it went to 2.3 and I got the "low battery" warnings. -- Visit the HP200LX site at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 26 Nov 1997 07:29:06 GMT Reply-To: neil@skipper.demon.co.uk Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Neil Tungate Subject: Re: HDD on HPLX In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Tue, 25 Nov 1997 15:27:42 -0600, Phil Drummond wrote: >On a completely off-post topic, why does MS's spell checker keep trying >to capitalize the word 'internet'.

Being a suspicious, cranky, system administrator type person, I don't trust anything! If it works fine without unmounting it, great. But I don't like messing with the "file system". I've been burned too many times. It doesn't really take very long to unmount it first so I just do it. Granted, I don't do that very often so if you are likely to change cards a lot, perhaps it would become a problem. jaime -- Jaime A.

Since both of these products provide PIM functions, they are fairly complementary.

Also, I am thinking about setting up an e-mail list for Agenda and ACT! users. Who would be interested in subscribing to such a list? Again, I'm looking for numbers to justify the effort. I already have about 10 ACT! users who are interested in such a list. Please send responses to the address below.

I would rather consider it the same way people in a communist country have what they "want": they do not see any better variant because everybody has just that single variant and everybody tells them it is what they "want". I am quite sure that most people would rather "want" a fast, not-constantly-crashing system that does not run out of memory all the time.

According to the specs of my Xircom CreditCard Ethernet adapter (model PS-CE2-10BT), typical consumption is 85mA, 100mA max (the 10B2 model is 300mA max). So, it should be able to work in the 200LX. No resets when I plug it in. But the problem is the card & socket services. Drivers provided need v2.x, and, as many listee already know, the 200LX doesn't support it. I think that it's not even possible under system manager since no memory windows can be allocated (all are in use by the system manager). Anyway, I think that the way to go is to program a point enabler. Once the adapter is configured at an IO address and IRQ, everything should work. I'm on this way now, getting as much information as I can from the linux PCMCIA package. I'll report about my results. Regards.

Melancon" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Michael R. Melancon" Subject: Re: Kodak Diconix 150 Plus printer Brian I used a Kodak Diconix 300w for several years. The 150 plus should give about the same quality and number of pages - same cartridge. It seemed to run out of ink pretty quickly when I was printing graphics with lots of ink coverage -probably 50- 75 pages. For mostly text you should get 4 or 5 times that. I think the specs say 250 sheets with 5% ink coverage, but I could be wrong. The cart is the same as HP Thinkjet - the one with the rubber bladder about the size of a thimble. I refilled them with ink several times before discarding them. I used hot glue to reseal them - I imagine the refill kits come with rubber stoppers now. The output was GREAT for the time 150x150 dpi - not real impressive next to the current crop of ink jets. But it should be a good traveling companion to the palmtop - Mike ---------- From: Brian Girling Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 1997 5:48 PM To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU Subject: Kodak Diconix 150 Plus printer Hi there - Does anyone on the list use a Kodak Diconix 150 Plus ink jet printer with their 100/200?

There are a lot of Agenda users lurking out here and we could certainly use a good source for support. There are a number of users of the Agenda/Magellan forum on CompuServe that would probably also like to join. Like you, I was somewhat surprised at the number of people who responded to the Agenda message that I first posted a couple of weeks ago. There are also people who are members of the NYPC users group, PIM subsection that would likely also be interested. I have taken the liberty of sending a copy of this message to someone who is very active in that group. I find it interesting that one of the major sources of interest for Agenda are users of the HP 200LX Palmtop. Clearly immediate access is an important issue for users of complex PIMs like Agenda and ACT!. If the DOS emulator now under development for Window CE is fast and effective, there might be another whole group of users for ACT and/or Agenda that would be interested in your proposed list. Indeed, it might be worthwhile considering expanding your list to include other PIMs to bring in everyone who is interested in this type of application. Good luck and best wishes, Lawrence Fast mdstockr on 11/26/97 08:26:44 AM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to mdstockr To: HPLX-L@UConnVM.UConn.Edu cc: Subject: Web Site & List for Agenda and ACT! Users I am considering setting up a web site for users of Lotus Agenda and Symantec ACT!, including users of HP palmtops that run this software. Since both of these products provide PIM functions, they are fairly complementary. I am thinking that this site would provide info and links addressing: - Technical issues on using the software - Using the software to address personal and business issues - Propmote/support e-mail list (see below) Before I set-up such a web site, I would appreciate feedback on the following: - Who is interested in such a web site? - I'm looking for numbers to justify the effort - Suggestions on web site mission - Suggestions on web site content - Should the web site primarily be text based, or should there be the typical use of graphics? Also, I am thinking about setting up an e-mail list for Agenda and ACT! users. Who would be interested in subscribing to such a list? Again, I'm looking for numbers to justify the effort. I already have about 10 ACT! users who are interested in such a list. Please send responses to the address below.

The problem is to configure and enable it, because the 200LX has Card & Socket services 1.01 and the PCMCIA interface is non-standard. I've seen a couple of point enablers for ethernet cards in the SUPER page, so I guess you'd better get one o these cards. I'm actually trying to program one for my Xircom card, using the sources of the linux PCMCIA package as a reference (and, of course, the developer's manual). If I get it, I'll try to program point enablers for all the PCMCIA cards supported by that package. Just don't know at the moment if it'll be possible. Regards.

Hi Raymond The simple answer is that NiMH batteries were not commonly available when HP wrote the 100/200 manuals but NiMH are now standard on the majority of new WinCE devices/cellphones/Video Cameras etc with the next advance in batteries going to Lithium based variations. My Pair of NiMH Batteries from Shier http://www.shier.com/ have been the only batteries powering my HP200lx for the past 13 months. NiMH require different charging than the standard 100mA for 6hrs of the internal charging circuit and I have used ABC/LX (bought with the batteries from Shier also) to customise my charging automatically. Give them a try - go for the biggest mAh Regards John Remove "NOSPAM." from reply address OR mailto:palmtop@ihug.co.nz -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 27 Nov 1997 07:41:00 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , childers Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: childers Subject: Re: Topcards Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I've made a few topcards, unfortunately, they're all customized with my personal return information.

I think that at the time that the manual was written, those were the only legitimate batteries to use. Since that time there has been a lot of research on small storage batteries and we see this in the new batteries in use. In another newsgroup there has been some recent discussion about using Lithium batteries. Some of these are available in the AA size. In my mind there are two questions. The first is, how does the charger determine the charge rate. If it reads the current across a resistor and adjusts the charge rate to a predetermined value, there should be no big problem. If on the other hand, a fixed voltage is supplied to the batteries in series with a fixed resistor, the charge rate would vary with the voltage. NIcd cells have a lower voltage and would get more of a charge. Other cells which have a higher output voltage would receive a smaller charge. The second question is how is the time determined. The manual states the high rate charging time. Someone is or was selling software that claimed to change the battery charging rate or time so that any sort of batteries could be used. If the charge can be changed by software, then is should be possible to uae almost any battery. I also saw some NiMH batteries at a local store marked 1000 Ma. Hr.. I didn't buy until I get some answers. There is another point that could be mentioned. Someone recently mentioned that his lithium backup battery has never been changed. He is on very dnagerous ground. With time, all batteries tend to dry up and lose the ability to supply current. The terminal voltage remains high but when called on to deliver electricity, they fail. It is much better to replace the backup battery each year as HP suggests. If there is someone who is familiar with the internals of the HP200LX power supply, inquiring minds would like to know what is in the thing.

The first is the battery temperature as mentioned above. The second is the change in component values with temperature and supply voltage. In other words, I am certain that HP wasn't designing a high precision voltmeter just to measure these battery voltages. They wanted one that was adequate for their needs. You could chaek this by looking at the battery voltage after the computer has been in the frig. and then after it has been on a sunny window sill. In each case, there should be no charging going on.

Today I decided to replace the batteries in my 200LX as I often do. I slipped in a couple of fresh batteries and confidently hit the on/off button. Nothing. I pressed the on/off button several times not beliefing that it would not work. No beep, nothing. I removed the batteries and put them in again. Changed batteries. Still nothing. I tried Ctl-Alt-Delete. Nothing. Finally, getting impatient I whipped out the manual and reviewed how to do a hard reset, which I have done several times before: Ctrl-Shift-on <== warning this is dangerous. Usually I'm prompted as to whether I want to erase everything on drive C or not and I say "n" and then everything is fine. This time, the system just went ahead and erased everything on drive C!. I think I pressed Ctrl-shift-On twice in succession in my impatience. That may have caused this. Lesson learned: take your time when pressing Chtrl_Shift-ON. I did have a backup-- but it was a week old and I didn't backup everything.. Files on drive A were not affected. Another warning: If you are using the Newton Keyboard: don't remove the cable while the system is saving a file. The system may lock up! Visit http://www.ilovemusic.com to explore music and dance!

Although it certainly is dangerous. If your unit wasn't turning on before you tried the hard reset, that's probably when it was erased. But wanton hard-resets are a bad idea; sometimes it'll reset the clock and every now and then it will erase the C: drive without asking.

It's kinda sluggish (compared to the Velo, of course) and a little cheesy, but for $99... Anyhow, the Compaq site also suggests (to me) that * the c140 has 4 MB RAM on the board * the c120+ only has 2 MB on the main board * some c120+ have an additional 2 mb on an upgrade card * if you get the CE 2.0 ROM when it's made available that would replace any 120+ upgrade card (and provide its own 2 MB RAM, bringing a c140 to 6 MB ?) Also I think the Compaq modem was some special job with a single AA to help keep the load off the CE device? Word is that standard PC Card modems really suck the CE devices dry quickly. DOS won't be a problem here ;-) but you will need 95/NT 4 to connect to another machine (unless you want to FTP everything thru a PPP modem connection ;-) ) I also recall that the earlier CE devices (e.g. pre-HP) were rushed so quickly that they had to put the Web browser in RAM instead of ROM. And most importantly, the Compaq/Cassio devices have a power management bug that drains batteries when they're off, there's a patch that you should download. Last, I've been scouring the net for a while now tonight, and it looks like there's virtually no freeware available for CE. Nothing like the SUPER site, or the Pilot for that matter.

I had it for 2 weeks and tried very hard to make it work for me. The problem I had was that the screen was just too difficult to read. (I was a palmtop novice and wasn't aware of the HP200LX.) I returned the Compaq (which I paid $400 for) and purchased an HP200LX because I "liked the screen better." Now, 6 months later, I'm extremely happy with my purchase. Wouldn't trade it for a wince machine for anything.

I suspect that you are correct in this assumption, it is common to charge= NiCds using a constant current.

Even if this were the case, the external charger is generating 12V, so an= y variation in the battery voltage during charging would be relatively smal= l in relation to 12V, thus essentially generating a constant charge current= =2E e.g during a charge cycle the battery voltage would vary from 2.3 to 2.8V= so the voltage across the resistor would only vary between 9.7 and 9.2V -= only 5% approx >The second question is how is the time determined.

If the charge can be changed by software, then >is should be possible to uae almost any battery. The software you refer to is probably ABC/LX. This allows you to set the high and low charge periods to any values, including a low charge of 0 hours so that charging stops when the battery is fully charged. As you suggest, this does allow NiMh batteries to be used providing hassle free charging. Visit www.dasoft.com for full details. >There is another point that could be mentioned.

Lithium batteries do have very long shelf lives - of the order of 10 year= s. In normal circumstances when the 200LX has got its main batteries installed, the backup battery is not supplying any current, this includes= when the 200LX is turned off. The backup battery is effectively "on the shelf". The only time the backup battery is called upon to supply curren= t is if the main batteries are removed or become almost fully discharged. IMHO it is reasonable to leave your lithium battery unchanged if you keep= your HP charged.

DOS is an Intel only operating system, since the CE machines all use RISC chips which are significantly different DOS cannot run on them. There is a company in the UK that is working on a DOS emulator for CE machines but it hasnt been released yet.

How does the HP200LX determine the charging current? If the charging power supply just assumes a fixed battery voltage (say 2.4 volts for two NiCD's and then uses a five volt supply with a 26 ohm resistor to charge the battery, the charging current will be much less if a Magnesium Hydride or Rechargable Lithium battery is used. On the other hand, if the charging system actually measures the voltage drop across a fixed resistor and then scales the charging voltage up or down until the voltage drop across the resistor reaches the target value, Then you can say that the system charges at 100Ma., 45Ma. or whatever independent of the type of battery in the computer. If you knew which way the charging system worked, you could use a strategy of unplugging the charger periodically to cause the charger to revert to the higher current since you had higher voltage batteries installed if the charger used the variable current scheme. If it actually measures the real current, you would want to know the characteristics of the batteries you are using and perhaps make certain that the charging was never (as much as possible) turned off.

There is very likely to be a series diode to prevent damage from power supplies with reversed plugs and some other drops due to switches (FET's, Bipolar transistors) which do the actual switching. Thus the voltage drop through the resistor would smaller and changes in current between NiCD cells and Lithium or Ni-Hydride could be much larger and the 100Ma. would be much less.

That reminds me of the salesman from National Carbon (when they still owned Eveready). We had a new application in the consumer electronics industry and I needed information beyond what the data book showed. I asked him about the shelf life of a particular cell.

You don't have to unmount a jam drive located on one flash card before mounting one on another card. Jam supports removeable media but will not automatically detect a change. Their are a couple of things you do need to know. You have to assign two different drive letters and you cannot be running any software that will access the removed drive otherwise you'll have problems. If you use the sysmgr filer you need to first switch out of the jam drive before switching cards. Going to the top menu where you select the drive will keep you safe or go to the internal drive first. Before I went and sold my right arm for a 20meg flashcard (bought it before prices became resonable) I used two 5meg cards jammed. I wrote a batch file that I would run each time I switched cards. After both cards were mounted the batch file would check the volume label and determine which card was in the palmtop. The using the Jswap utility it would hide the drive that was located on the other card. This way their was no way to accidently access the other jammed drive.

I don't think the HP200LX determines anything. When you enable charging, it probably just sets a timer to 6 hours and sends 100mA to the batteries. When the timer expires, it changes that to 45mA which it will send until the cows go home. My strategy is: I recently changed to NiCD's and wrote a simple battery logging program to determine the maximum and minimum value value for the battery. I always charge overnight and want to write a program that automatically turns off charging when the max value has been reached to avoid overcharging. This could evolve into a resident program that automatically starts and stops. From what I have read about ABC, that is what it basically is doing. But I need to know how to change the 6 hours to anything (BIOS? CMOS?). Somebody knows? I suppose I could dump the BIOS before and after I enable charging to see where the timer is. Hmmm...

The power of the Dark Side and all. Office Depot has (had?) two different models on closeout. The C140 for $99, which has 4MB and no modem, and a C120(+?) model which had 2 megs and a modem for $139. The sales being said that they had had 30 machines Friday morning, and were down to 3 when I bought the C140. Two other people bought one at the same time; most people seemed to want the model with the modem, not realizing how limiting 2MB would be. These things have WinCE 1.0 and will have to be upgraded for $99. Observations: Firstly, let me say that I am a big fan of the HP200, so I may be biased. Others have posted more detailed comparisons; I'll just give my own opinion on what was important to me. ------------------------ Plus category: ------------------------------- * The backlight on the WinCE machine is nice. However, it does not stay on long enough (and does not appear to be adjustable...) and is not really very bright. You do need it too because the screen is not as contra sty as the HP200. * The internet explorer works very well, much better than my experience on the HP200 with nettamer. I used a 14.4 XJ2144 modem, and got about 45 minutes on line (about the same time as the HP). For me, this makes the machine worth the $99 purchase. * I can type on the keyboard better than on the HP200, and the keys are in the usual positions. * The screen is a little bigger, which helps for me. The width is almost exactly the same as the HP200, but it is about 1/2 inch taller. The gray scale really helps in the browser. * The touch screen is cute, and you really can run it with your finger in most cases. My screen is all fingerprinted up because of this! ----------------------- Minus Category ----------------------------- * There is very little software. What there is is mostly commercial with Windows type prices. Yeah,. there are a few shareware programs, but nothing like what is available for DOS. I have not found anything that I feel like installing yet. If what you want isn't built in, you will have to really search and probably pay to get what you want. * I was told that there is no (easy) way on this unit to run the unit off AC without buying the docking station. Power goes in on the proprietary serial plug. Because the modem really eats power, you need an AC adapter if you are going to do much more than just check your mail. * It is bigger and heavier than the HP. I can fit the HP in a pocket, the Compaq does not fit in most of the pockets that I own. I would say that the Compaq is only about 10% larger in each dimension though. * Many programs don't seem to want to store data on an external flash card. I can't seem to read the flash card in my desktop reader like the HP. * The built in terminal program does not have any decent file transfer options. * The screen is a lot less contrasty than the HP screen. It is larger, but harder to read in bad light. * You sure can't whip off a quick C program and run it on the WinCE machine. I really can't comment on the functionality most of the software included, since it is of little use to me. I might use the word processor to take notes. Hope this helps someone.

Battery life outta the box > is 3 hours continous, enhanced battery (Sony Camcorder Battery) for 5 Not to give the impression that we are pedants; but in addition to the volume discrepancy, the IBM PC110 (excluding battery) weighs twice a ho200lx (including battery). And that Camcorder battery sounds like a biggie! ObNice: it does beat the Libretto and 620lx, though.

And one remark about this function: it takes an int as a parameter, while the number written to a memory area in which the time counter is, is a long. This causes an error if you pass a value over 32767 (>0x7FFF), because it's treated as an int, negative, converted to long (0xFFFFXXXX), and then written. The result is a much higher number than the one you intended to set. All that has to be done is to redefine that function parameter as a long (and recompile the library). Regards.

Retail price on the missing goodies is about $240. -Jim. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml --IMA.Boundary.452809088 Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="TEXT2.ITM" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Description: Unknown data type Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="TEXT2.ITM" UmVjZWl2ZWQ6IGZyb20gVUNvbm5WTS5VQ29ubi5FZHUgKDEzNy45OS4yNi4zKSBieSBtYWls c2VydmVyLm1haWwxLmNvbSB3aXRoIFNNVFANCiAgKElNQSBJbnRlcm5ldCBFeGNoYW5nZSAy LjEgRW50ZXJwcmlzZSkgaWQgMDAwRTY4Mjk7IFNhdCwgMjkgTm92IDk3IDEyOjQwOjIxDQot MDgwMA0KUmVjZWl2ZWQ6IGZyb20gVUNPTk5WTS5VQ09OTi5FRFUgYnkgVUNvbm5WTS5VQ29u bi5FZHUgKElCTSBWTSBTTVRQIFYyUjIpDQogICB3aXRoIEJTTVRQIGlkIDEzMjU7IFNhdCwg MjkgTm92IDk3IDE1OjM4OjAyIEVTVA0KUmVjZWl2ZWQ6IGZyb20gVUNPTk5WTS5VQ09OTi5F RFUgKE5KRSBvcmlnaW4gTElTVFNFUlZAVUNPTk5WTSkgYnkNClVDT05OVk0uVUNPTk4uRURV IChMTWFpbCBWMS4yYy8xLjhjKSB3aXRoIEJTTVRQIGlkIDAyMjk7IFNhdCwgMjkgTm92IDE5 OTcNCjE1OjM4OjAyIC0wNTAwDQpSZWNlaXZlZDogZnJvbSBVQ09OTlZNLlVDT05OLkVEVSBi eSBVQ09OTlZNLlVDT05OLkVEVSAoTElTVFNFUlYtVENQL0lQIHJlbGVhc2UNCiAgICAgICAg ICAxLjhjKSB3aXRoIHNwb29sIGlkIDA5MjUgZm9yIEhQTFgtTEBVQ09OTlZNLlVDT05OLkVE VTsgU2F0LCAyOSBOb3YNCiAgICAgICAgICAxOTk3IDE1OjM4OjAxIC0wNTAwDQpSZWNlaXZl ZDogZnJvbSBVQ09OTlZNIChOSkUgb3JpZ2luIFNNVFAzQFVDT05OVk0pIGJ5IFVDT05OVk0u VUNPTk4uRURVIChMTWFpbA0KICAgICAgICAgIFYxLjJjLzEuOGMpIHdpdGggQlNNVFAgaWQg MDIxMzsgU2F0LCAyOSBOb3YgMTk5NyAxNTozODowMSAtMDUwMA0KUmVjZWl2ZWQ6IGZyb20g c3Bhcmt5LmxhZHMuaXMubG1jby5jb20gYnkgVUNvbm5WTS5VQ29ubi5FZHUgKElCTSBWTSBT TVRQIFYyUjIpDQogICAgICAgICAgd2l0aCBUQ1A7IFNhdCwgMjkgTm92IDk3IDE1OjM4OjAw IEVTVA0KUmVjZWl2ZWQ6IGZyb20gbG9uZ2ZvcmQubGFkcy5pcy5sbWNvIChsb25nZm9yZC5s YWRzLmlzLmxtY28uY29tKSBieQ0KICAgICAgICAgIHNwYXJreS5sYWRzLmlzLmxtY28uY29t ICg0LjEvQlZVLTQuMDEtTE1DTykgaWQgQUExMjU2MTsgU2F0LCAyOSBOb3YNCiAgICAgICAg ICA5NyAxMTo1NDozOCBQU1QNClJlY2VpdmVkOiBmcm9tIGxvY2FsaG9zdCBieSBsb25nZm9y ZC5sYWRzLmlzLmxtY28gKDk0MDgxNi5TR0kuOC42LjkpIGlkDQogICAgICAgICAgUEFBMDE5 Mjk7IFNhdCwgMjkgTm92IDE5OTcgMTU6Mzk6MjEgLTA1MDANCk1lc3NhZ2UtSUQ6ICA8MTk5 NzExMjkyMDM5LlBBQTAxOTI5QGxvbmdmb3JkLmxhZHMuaXMubG1jbz4NCkRhdGU6ICAgICAg ICAgU2F0LCAyOSBOb3YgMTk5NyAxNTozOToyMCAtMDUwMA0KUmVwbHktVG86ICAgICBIUExY IE1haWxpbmcgTGlzdCA8SFBMWC1MQFVDb25uVk0uVUNvbm4uRWR1PiwNCiAgICAgICAgICAg ICAgSmltIEdvbnphbGV6IDxnb256YWxlekBMQURTLklTLkxNQ08uQ09NPg0KU2VuZGVyOiAg ICAgICBIUExYIE1haWxpbmcgTGlzdCA8SFBMWC1MQFVDb25uVk0uVUNvbm4uRWR1Pg0KRnJv bTogICAgICAgICBKaW0gR29uemFsZXogPGdvbnphbGV6QExBRFMuSVMuTE1DTy5DT00+DQpT dWJqZWN0OiAgICAgIFJlOiBbQ0VdIENvbXBhcSBQQyBDb21wYW5pb24NClRvOiAgICAgICAg ICAgSFBMWC1MQFVDb25uVk0uVUNvbm4uRWR1DQpJbi1SZXBseS1UbzogIFlvdXIgbWVzc2Fn ZSBvZiAiVGh1LCAyNyBOb3YgMTk5NyAxMDo0Njo1MiBQU1QuIg0K --IMA.Boundary.452809088-- -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 30 Nov 1997 08:39:11 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Terrence Chun Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Terrence Chun Organization: Disorganization Subject: Serial cable?

If one has $100 invested at say 7%, obviously the income would be 100*0.07 per year. However how does one calculate what the purchasing value of that $7 is in 30 years if the inflation rate is 4%? The first year it would be 7*0.96. The following year 0.96 of that amount, etc. Is there a @ formula or quick way that permits me to repeat this calulation 30 times to find out what the value would be in 30 years without having to manually enter the calculation 30 times? 2. Getting more complicated, a similar calculation in reverse. Suppose one wishes to have an income of $5 a year for 30 years. How does one determine the necessary funds needed to achieve this for 30 years, with the following considerations: a) assume earning an interest rate on the funds of say 7%, b) an estimated inflation rate of say 4% (which would therefore increase the $5 to 5*1.04 each year) c) a tax rate of xyz% which will be taken out of the income to leave $5 How does one solve to find the funds necessary to have today to achieve the above?

I have been looking at re-writable CD player/writer's. They allow you to write to single write CD's once only, and re-writable CD's many times over (don't know if there is a limit). The cost of a single use CD is 2AUD, and a re-writable CD is 35AUD (conversion rate to USD is not applicable, as these things are usually way cheaper in the US anyway). Questions 1) If I bought a re-writable CD player/writer (IDE interface), is it likely to work as a reader/writer in my Palmtop? Ability to read large amounts of text information into the palmtop, and possibly back up a large stacked memory card. 2) Would the CD work in a laptop at a fast enough speed to write to a CD? Apparently A CD should be written in one continuous stream, and stopping and starting throught the middle of a file is dangerous (loss of data). 3) Has anyone heard of a Parallel port CD re-writer? Thank you for your patience.

Topcards should be 640x200 monochrome PCX. BTW - you will need to save them as reverse images (B&W swapped). Hope this helps.

I answered your questions based on my own experiences, but keep in mind that as fast as technology changes, my information could be obsolete already! >1) If I bought a re-writable CD player/writer (IDE interface), >is it likely to work as a reader/writer in my Palmtop? >Ability to read large amounts of text information into the >palmtop, and possibly back up a large stacked memory card. I have not seen IDE CD Writers (not to say that they don't exist). All of the ones that I have dealt with have been SCSI. I think that this is due to the fast transfer rate needed to write to a CD. >2) Would the CD work in a laptop at a fast enough speed to >write to a CD? Apparently A CD should be written in one >continuous stream, and stopping and starting throught the >middle of a file is dangerous (loss of data). You are correct, as far as I know, the _ONLY_ way to write to a CD is with a continuous and FAST stream of data. I would be very surprised if there were a way to hook up a CD Writer to a palmtop. Another alternative you might want to look at is a Iomega ZIP drive (100 MB per re-writeable disk). I have one, and love it although I don't have a parallel port for my palmtop, so I can't say how well it would work there. I have seen recent discussions on this list about connecting them, so I think it might work. >3) Has anyone heard of a Parallel port CD re-writer? Again, I would be surprised if you could find one due to the fast data transfer rate required to write to CD's.

Does anyone know if I can buy one of these HP serial cables from any computer store or Fry's, or do I need to mail-order this from one of the mail-order houses? Thanks! -- Terry p.s.
