It appears that this list is enjoying a wide range of off-topic conversations - but let's save that for another flame thread. :-| : 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). If I recall correctly from what I saw down at OfficeMax a few weeks ago, it's about US$20 for a pack of 5 single use CDs. R/W's are around $7 for a single CD. : 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. If you actually found a PCMCIA IDE controller, you'd be set. All you'd need to do is run the ATAPI driver supplied with the machine, or perhaps just a basic driver like Triones 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). Palmtop - no. You'd have to be able to _sustain_ a transfer rate of just over 150K per second - a little bit of extra speed to make up for background processor weirdness (system events, etc.) That's to write to a CD _single speed_. To write double speed, like most CDR drives do now, you'd have to sustain over 300K per second. I seriously doubt you get 150K/s throughput copying stuff around on the 200's ramdrive, much less through a PCMCIA adapter. : 3) Has anyone heard of a Parallel port CD re-writer? Sorry, no. Hmm.

Yes, NOMAI and HP sells such stuff here in the UK (parallel port SCSI). T= he first will work on W3.1, W95 and NT, the latter only W95 and NT. I have unfortunately not seen any supporting DOS. They need a 16 bit parallel port to work. I have tried the NOMAI under W95 on my Pentium Pro (80686) copying progra= m CD's directly to CD's at full speed (2x). It is multisession. The W3.1 program did not come with the package but I got one from the vendors tech= support (but have not tried it). On a different note: unless your CD reader is capable of exporting the format (mine can't, my fathers can), you may have problems copying audio CD's without dumping them to the hard disk first. = And: none of the CD readers I have tried can read the re-writable CD's, (except the NOMAI itself)! I may have done it wrong but don't think so. However the read-only CD's are fine. Warning: I tried it on my fathers 150Mhz Pentium in order not to clog up = my own. It did not work, complaining that it could not even write at the lowest speed (1x) to the CD.

I've been playing with the c140 I got, and once you get past the wow factor of having something that looks like Windows in a palmtop... it's not so impressive.

While it is now possible to make CD disks in successive sessions, I can remember that just a few years ago, even the slight hesitation caused by a hard disk recalibrating as it was reading was enough to make the disk being written turn into junk. Be very careful before you buy.

The plug is not one that you will find just everywhere. I went to the HP service center, they sent me over to a HP dealer. The dealer said that they had none and it would take as much as four weeks to get one from Singapore. I said that that was unreasonable. The nice young lady thought for a moment and then told me to sit down, she called another sub dealer and they said that they had a cable. I went there and bought the last one in stock. Apparently the two ladies were acquainted and the one had expressed displeasure at having this thing still in stock. When I got home, I realized that there was an easier way. When I bought my HP200LX it came with a PCMCIA memory card. I just plugged that card into my sub laptop, Wrote the files to the card and then put the card into the HP. Quick and neat.

(1) I don't think there are any IDE CDR/CDRW units. (2) How do you get an IDE interface on the palmtop? I haven't heard of any SCSI PCMCIA cards that work in the palmtop, due to the current drain and the age of the card and socket services. > 2) Would the CD work in a laptop at a fast enough speed to > write to a CD?

The Phillips OmniWriter is a SCSI unit that comes with a SCSI-to-paralell adapter. never tried it, though.

An IrDA solution may be available for the Amiga, but your safest bet is to do ZModem transfers (via JRComm, TerMite, etc.) over a serial cable. The Amiga hardware was optimized for video; other I/O performance suffered, so IrDA may not gain you much. I note that Softwood (http://www.softwood.com/) applications are able to handle several PC formats. Final Calc is claimed to read and write "Lotus 123 .WK1 files". Final Writer (the PC version, at least) and WordWorth reportedly handles RTF (to which you can convert LX Memo files with DOCRTF). In response to your later email, the serial cable is proprietary, and HP-branded cables appear to be mail-order-only at this point. You can build a cable from commercially-available components, but I don't think it's worth the trouble. -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, 1 Dec 1997 14:26:22 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , CSchlim@AOL.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Cathy Schlim Subject: software Hi all!

I wrote it with Prolog so it uses predicate logic. I'm not sure what you mean by Case-Based Reasoning. In Mastery, questions and answers are stored in a "knowledge base" so the program "knows" which items you have mastered, which items you have answered correctly (but need more practice on) and which items you have just gotten wrong. On a random basis Mastery will present a question you have missed for review (fairly frequently). Every once it a while (not so often) it will present questions you have answered correctly, but which you want to continue reviewing. Mastery will not ask you questions that you have mastered. Mastery can scan all the lesson files in its subdirectory to dynamically build a lesson menu. This makes it easy for you to create several different lessons for study and then pick the one you want. Questions and answers can be quite long if necessary since I use the built-in text editor in Prolog is used to display them. Tutorial material could be included with the questions if desired. I'm using Mastery to help myself study Java and hope to release a Java tutorial along with Mastery some time in the future. At 04:52 AM 11/28/97 -0600, you wrote: >Is Mastery a shareware program?

Try shuffling your TSRs around, delete one at a time etc. I remember a TSR clock program that I have used on every single computer since 1985, that suddenly did strange things on a new computer, and had to be deleted; luckily in those 10 years I had managed to learn how to write my own clock program so I wasn't without one long.

Should this type of thing be posted on S.U.P.E.R. or not? My first thought would be, "Yes, of course it should". That would be a great way to illustrate the fact that sensitive data should not be entrusted to the password algorithm. I posed this same question to a friend and he had some reservations. He said that you normally post such "bug reports" and let the powers-that-be fix things. In this case though, HP would be that "power" and I don't really expect them to lift a finger for the 200LX ever again. This would be effectively negating one "feature", though flawed, of the 200LX. So what do you think? Would you prefer to have the master key to all the doors, or would you instead like to suppress the key and hide your secrets behind those doors knowing that a master key exists?

So I assume that such a utility exists. What we need, then, is a more advanced encryption program. I say we should create a little utility-- maybe a TSR-- to enhance the password protection built in, since it is now not-so-secure. However, there's no reason not to post the file. It will probably still leak out and then only the most determined password-crackers would have access to it. If the source code is included, we could examine it and come up with new encryption techniques. -- 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: Tue, 2 Dec 1997 15:58:07 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Mitchell B.

But who wil write such a thing? Aye, there's the rub. Well, in the first place, we need somebody who understands encryption schemes, and how it might be done on the 200LX. But if the passwords can be cracked, then it's a pretty needed utility-- one that will encrypt your data more securely. > That's the nice thing.

If you are a dedicated Agenda user on a 200LX, you can run Agenda for very long periods of time w/o shutting down the program periodically. The problem with this is, Agenda performs certain database file housekeeping chores only when the file is closed, such as when you shut-down the program. The longer you add items to the database without doing these chores, the greater the risk of a corrupt database file. Recommendation, either shut down Agenda or open another database file periodically. ______________________________________________ "Michael Stocker" 12/2/97 4:01:31 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: Tue, 2 Dec 1997 16:13:18 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Souza, Mr Stephen" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Souza, Mr Stephen" Subject: Re: A question of morality...

There really aren't that many units out there, so a very small percentage of the world's population has one. The number of listees with bad intent is hopefully very small. Therefore, the combination of the two above small percentages results in such a small number that the risk of incident is probably insignificant.

I was able to compile and run the sample "double precision whetstone program" without apparent problems (meaning I don't have a clue as to what a good result would be....only that I didn't get any obvious run-time errors).

Couldn't you just wire it directly to your car, maybe just straight through wiring from a cigarette lighter electrical plug to a 200LX style barrel power connector? Perhaps a .5A fuse would be in order as well. I think, as long as the polarity was correct, you'd be OK. Hell, just wire it to your "clock power" connector on your radio - just leave the 200 in the car overnight to charge it! ;) In all seriousness, I think that would work just fine.

IMHO: It would seem that this would be used more as a beneficial tool rather than one for nefarious purposes. The risk to us seems minumal, and it would be nice to have the ability to crack a forgotten password.

Interesting question... The presumption is that there is only one key and it is THE key... I prefer after reading a LARGE cryptography book to assume any data is able to be read by anyone with enough patience,time,and effort. If you release this file to the list it will shorten the time needed to read password encrypted data. In WWII the trick to encryption was that each key was unique..rendering effort expended to time needed to information gained to not be worth it... however the computing power eventually was able to interpret the messages even if it was 2-3 days/weeks/months later...all that was needed was motivation. I fear the reliance on "encryption" and "secure forms" is VERY misleading. If someone wants your info they WILL get it. It depends on how time sensitive it is. IE If the info on your LX was able to be published tomorrow worldwide vs in 3 months what would be the difference? Credit card details are unchanging and the data is valid even 6 months after a transaction. Mitch by even mentioning there is a util available people that are either curious,malicious or have some ulterior motive will already be searching for the key to cracking the password issue. By releasing the util and/or source code to the list you may provide some protection via a wariness factor for those that rely on the inbuilt protections.. I guess IMHO its like letting everyone know there is a master key somewhere in the back yard an you had better change the locks.. If it is your house ok if not then the owner is out of luck if someone else has the key and the intent. Suggestion... Put the util up and password protect it sort of redundant dont you think? :)) cheers Russell -------------------------------------------- ***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, 2 Dec 1997 19:53:52 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jorgen Dybdahl Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jorgen Dybdahl Subject: A question of morality...

In fact, it sure would have helped me around 8 months ago when one of my password protected files got corrupted and each time I tried to open it I had the wrong password. I had to eventually erase it and start all over again. It's not like we keep our HP's plugged up to the NET all day to allow someone to access it and find our passwords. The only way someone can get our personal information from our HP's and figure out the password on protected files is if they stole it or we lost it.

The odds of it being useful to someone is much greater (IMHO) than the odds of it being used against them. I studied crypto a little. AFAIK the password-protected files on the 200 are run through a two-way hash with the key, but the key is not stored anywhere in the file. But each of the 200's formats probably has some constant header information. If one hacked/knew the algorithm, the could probably be computed by reversing the hash functions on that offset. ------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer dskramer@concentric.net DK KD http://www.concentric.net/~dskramer DKK D I'm quite happy to say, That the Sneeches got really quite DK KD smart on that day, The day they decided that Sneeches are DDDD Sneeches, And no kind of Sneech is the best on the beaches -------------------------------------------- ***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, 2 Dec 1997 22:14:02 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Mitchell B.

The main point is that anything that you connect to the car's power has the whole power of the car battery behind it. Thus, If you connect the HP200LX to the car battery and then perhaps connect the GPS to the car battery. Then connect the GPS to the HP, The results might be unpredictable. However, if you were careful and tested everything along the way, there should be no real difficulty. I would put a regulator on the line from the cigarette lighter with a really powerful zener diode across the incoming power. When the starter disconnects, it puts some real spikes (150V.) on the power line. That is why your car radio is shut off when the starter runs. The car voltage can easily go up to 16 volts. Also check and make sure that there are no polarity or grounding implications with the GPS. The HP seems completely covered in a non conductive case. However, when you connect it to the GPS, the GPS becomes part of the battery circuit. I don't know if anyone still makes a car with the plus terminal grounded but if so, that could be dangerous. Probably not hazardous to life but to the equipment. Include a fuse.

For all interested in the BMW Z3 Eva movies: They are available from S.U.P.E.R. site now. There is one more eve movie, but it's really large: The new trailer for James Bond "Tommorrow never dies". It's made by a friend of me (Alex K.) and it's about 3MB ( 2 and a half minute ) If someone is interested I can put it to the S.U.P.E.R. site, too And for all who wants to make there own movies: It's simple. Use the A2E (AVI2EVA) program from R. Ichiro (available on super). The instruction are really simple and all you have to do is to RTFM ! Ok. 1) First of all you need an AVI file in the following format: Codec all frames (no compression) bit/pixel 8 bit/pixel (256 pallett) size 96 x 92 sound mono 8bit PCM 2) In case you have an MOV file: Use SMARTVID.EXE to convert it to an AVI file Get SMARTVID from the anonymous ftp at INTEL. 3) In case you have an AVI file which doesn't meet the requirements described under 1) Get Video for Windows 1.1 from the MicroSoft ftp server (V1.1) and use the included VIDEDIT program. Here you can change the compression, bit/pixel, size and sound. 4) as you now have the AVI file described in 1) use A2E to convert it The various options of A2E are described in the man-page. Easiest example: A2E MYVID.AVI MYVID.EVA converts the specified AVI file to EVA format Example 2: A2E -g -8 MYVID.AVI MYVID.EVA same as above, just uses error-diffussion algorith to improve grayscale output (result in slightly larger EVA file) (-g), (-8) uses full 8 bit audio format (also slightly increased file size). Other options: -d dithered (2x2 ordered) -f force overwite (previous out file) -t tome definition (experts - refer to manual page) -Txx,yy tone definition (see above, in conjuction) -s defines start frame -e defines end frame -aN audiovolume -AN reduce audio sampling rate 5) HAPPY EVA MAKING ! -- Jens G.

She's in the process of moving from a paper based system to a palmtop system. Since she hasn't quite made the transition, she doesn't use the MobilePro as much as she should/could. Her problem is that the alkaline batteries don't seem to last more the a couple of weeks with just a few hours of actual use. After the first time, I replaced both the backup and main batteries with fresh new ones. Same problem. At first I thought it was just because she had left it plugged into the base unit, causing the batteries to drain quicker. This time around I watched how she used it and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. It seems to me that even without using it regularly the batteries should last a little longer. Is that unrealistic? I'd be happy to hear any reasons why this might be happening.

Also, you can highlight a file in FILER and have that filename transferred to the Dosline command line by hitting F1.

It's about 32K in size, I have other documents in the same directory that are smaller and others that are larger. When I load it in, even if I make no changes, Memo thinks it's been modified. When I exit, or load another document, it asks if I want to save it first. I've saved it and reloaded multiple times, same results. This document was working fine until yesterday, I've been working on it for over a week. I've made a copy of the document, stripped out the first two and last two paragraphs, saved it, and reloaded it. Memo thinks it's been modified. I've created a new document, inserted this document into it, saved it, and reloaded it. Save results, Memo thinks it's been modified. The document doesn't seem to be damaged, everything seems to be there, including the formatting. I've compared the GLED hidden control sequences with the other files in the directory, everything seems to be fine. Anybody else ever encountered this behaviour? Incidentally, does anybody have any documentation on the internal format of the Memo documents? The GLEDFF.TXT file on the Palmtop Paper CD seems to be a bit outdated, there are errors in it.

If you buy from a store which has a big turnover, they are likely to be newer. I buy from a store which caters to volume users, buy a big box and keep them in the freezer. Cold is good. In fact in the 1930's Admiral Byrd left some flashlight batteries in Antarctia for several years. When recovered and tested by the maker, they were better than the average of new batteries for that year. Of course, that was a long time ago and batteries change.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit If you are looking for the differences between a Class 1 and a Class 2 fax modem, it has to do with features. Class 1 has more features than Class 2. If you are interested, I have a list of different features between them that I could send to you. As far as a way to tell what Class a modem is, from a terminal program you could use the AT+FCLASS command. The format is AT+FCLASS=n where n is 1 or 2 for Class 1 and Class 2. If your modem is a Class 1, it should return an OK for AT+FCLASS=1. If it is a Class 2, it will return ERROR for AT+FCLASS=1, and OK for AT+FCLASS=2. Note: A Class 1 modem will return OK for AT+FCLASS=2 because it is compatible with the Class 2 standard. Most of the newer fax software that I have seen recently will automatically detect what type of modem you have. I hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: anborg To: HPLX-L@UConnVM.UConn.Edu Date: Wednesday, December 03, 1997 2:01 AM Subject: Modems? >I have accumulated a number of modems connected to various computers. >These in general work ok but when I install new software, I am always >asked questions like, is this a class 1 or class 2 fax modem.

YMMV, of course, and the others are good, too. :) The _Mercedes_ one was the best, in vision and sound, but it's very, very big. I also liked the _Friends_ (sitcom) very much - the words of the song are recognisable, also the characters - but it probably helps that I know the sequence already... The "The Living Daylights" was the shortest of the lot; and looks pretty good, but the sound is not great, and is hard to hear if you are in a crowded sushi bar - don't say I didn't warn you! Also, I found it looked much better in the smallest screen mode. (Just press 1 when it's playing to get that size)... and I *think* it's "GoldenEye"... I wish I had room to fit more than one on... This is the only one I had room for on my palmtop. (I had to delete VR & The Wealth of Nations - sorry Gilles & Adam!) Thanks to George Bing for these and others! And I also liked the "z3happy", which is one of the two movies in the BMW Z3 EVA Movies, curtesy of Jens Siffring. Thanks! ===== Every so often, someone posts to this mailing list with something like: "I guess everyone knows this already, and I don't want to bore you, but just in case, here's some info....". And then they go ahead and say the thing that everyone knows!! Well, I just wanted to say that I have *never* already known that information, and it was really useful! And so, with that spirit, here's some more stuff that everyone knows...: I suggest the smallest size (press 1) for eva. Or use the largest (press 2) and place it at the distance of a TV. You can adjust adjust the contrast by holding down the ON/OFF key, and pressing - or +. The length of the files on SUPER are the zipped length; the actual files are a bit longer (if you forget when you calculate, like I did). Finally, I note that each of the three people who have kindly added an eva file have included at least one with a racing/prestige car. Even the James Bond one was of a car! Is this because cars look especially good in a palmtop movie ... or because palmtop users like toys? Brendan Macmillan. Who likes toys. :) Ý*¨ I tested these on a 486 (no room on palmtop except for the shortest); they may look better on the palmtop, because your eye resolves the picture better. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 4 Dec 1997 07:08:44 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Mcallaster, Douglas L., MAJ, DAPE" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Mcallaster, Douglas L., MAJ, DAPE" Subject: SQL database engine for palmtop does a good and cheap one exist? where can i find? will it read dbf files? i want to learn SQL while i commute. maj doug mcallaster mcalldl@hqda.army.mil dsn 227-7619 cml 703-697-7619 -------------------------------------------- ***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, 4 Dec 1997 20:27:44 -0500 Reply-To: anborg@ksts.seed.net.tw Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: anborg Subject: Re: Modems?

I tend to accumulate modems which either have no documentation or else generic documentation which does not give you a clear way to discover the capabilities of the modem. Some of these programs also tend to ask, "what chip set does the modem have"? I have one modem which a fellow brought to me saying that he couldn't get it to function under 'trumpet winsock'. I tried it and got the same results. I tried it with 'Telix' and it worked ok except 'Telix' complained that it did not get the proper result code when it initialized the EPROM. But it worked properly. I traded the fellow, giving him an internal modem that I had used in the past. Later I learned that he got the modem from another fellow who also could not get it to function under 'trumpet winsock'. I wanted to keep the modem because it would run on an internal battery and felt that that might come in useful at some time. I have downloaded BGFax as being suggested as suitable for the HP200LX and the documentation seems to refer to software called "FOSSIL". Do I want to know anything about this?

Cold is With the shelf life of batteries being 5-7 years (according to the date on the battery) you'd have to find a store with really old stock to find un-fresh batteries. Consumer Reports just did a test on batteries. One of the tests is a long term study about storing batteries cold. Their conclusion is that with recent battery technology you don't need to cold store them anymore. I use Everyready Lithium's. The convenience of not having to think about battery condition for about 2 months is worth the extra cost; @ $5.70 for 2. Cheers...

Finally, use a system password (200LX only), which can only be defeated by erasing C if not known. Yes, it's a pain to have to punch in a password every time you turn it on, but if you make it short (three letters or one weird character combo) few people will guess it. I don't believe it is easy to crack the system password except by manually entering trials, and no one I know has that kind of patience.

As with any hi-tech hobby/interest magazine, I think that they are being scooped on most things by the Internet. We netizens with an ear to the palmtop rail know about most things way before they make it onto the dead trees coming from Thaddeus. Not a criticism, just a fact of life when it takes 3 months of lead time to get something into printed form. One big exception to "being scooped" is their user profile sections which I still value over most other content in the magazine. Every now and then, something like the January issue's Japanese feature will come along, but usually the user profiles are my first stop. Just my $.02...

Or did you use an emulator? (I > understood it as if you assumed the LX has built-in support) My lapse has been pointed out by several others. You're right about the lack of 8087 support on the LX, I don't know what made me think otherwise except maybe wishful thinking. BTW, I'm still able to compile and run the dbl-precision whetstone sample program using 16 files in 1.3mb from the original installation (got rid of more interactive debuggers, code-view, etc). FWIW, the 2x LX clocks in at 21 dbl-precision kilowhets/sec (vs 35,500 kilowhets/sec on my 166mhz pentium). > The LX has an 80186, so if the program doesn't use protected mode then it > should run just as on a 286.

I use it to paste addresses into letters I write with WPerfect for Windows. I've been satisfied with the cpack200 software for keeping the two copies synched, but not satisfied with the many steps needed to cut and paste (open Phonebook, find entry, cut with SmartClip, close PhoneBook, open Memo, paste into Memo, save file, go back to word processor, and finally insert address!) I installed the OmniBook PIM software (OB6DSK.ZIP) on my desktop today and the PhoneBook runs quite nicely. There is just one drawback--once I paste a PhoneBook record into my WP document it still needs some reformating. I looked for some equivalent to SmartClip, but was unable to find anything. I wrote a macro in WP, but my PhoneBook fields have enough variability that the macro often fails. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks for any suggestions.

In fact, I have rushed home to read the issue from cover to cover in one sitting. This last issue that I received yesterday has been somewhat diappointing. My hat is off to those "real world" contributors like many of my collegues on this list, as well as the gentleman who wrote about his time keeping spreadsheet in this last issue. What is disappointing is the doomsday authors who use terms like "...DOS era is winding down". Yesterday as I read from cover to cover, I learned how I can sell my unit to Thaddeus, pay Thaddeus for and upgrade, all about WinCE 2.0 and how I can immediately upgrade to a WinCE unit. Wow! Why keep my 200LX? All this in a periodical that is not called "Handheld PC". Interesting. I am so glad I "listen" to all of your conversations each day and read about real world applications from true users. Otherwise, I might be convinced that I am the only DOS based LX user still around. Let's keep up the great dialog! Additionally, perhaps we might enhance the next issue by forwarding some of our e-mail to the editor of the Palmtop Paper for printing.

The 200 LX is a superb blend of _pocket_ computer and PIM/organizer, and DOS compatibility is icing on the cake. I've been working a bit with a CE thing and it's underwhelming. Mainly it's a hardware design problem, but the apps and the OS don't make good use of the limited screen space either. And the latest models seem to be bigger and worse. "survive" may be an accurate term, but if you'll allow me two words I'd suggest "scrape by". Pilot looks better but Graffiti and the lack of PC Card/Compact Flash memory support really limit what can be done with it.

But the real question you should ask is what software on the desktop is being synchronised with. I'm fine using Schedule+ 7.0 - it's worked under Win95 and Win 98 beta 2; I can use the serial cable or the IR port. Curiously the IR port seems to be locked down to 9600 baud by the software, so it's fast over the cable. It does blow up on 'to do' items - and internal error on the PC end. I don't use them so much and you can opt not to import them - so I stick with the appointments. I rarely do the phone book - it was more of a one-off hit. The *bad* news is we are to move to Outlook Calendar. Intellilink does not support this - in fact te company seens to have vanished, the product has remerged in Puma Technologies as Intellisync (someone correct me here). Intellisync does not look so handy, as it is packaged different. Intellilink is sold 'for Schedule+' and that supports a hug range of PDAs. Intelisync is sold 'for xyz PDA' and each of those supports a small range of Desktop packages. An no, the HP200/Outlook combination is not there - - in fact Outlook is only supported for Palm Pilot and I think CE (but I thought that was built -in??) I guess it all comes down to volumes. There's a suggestion that Outlook is hard to program to.

There could be differences in this command from modem to modem. Since your exp is a Class 1, it has all of the features of a Class 2 and more, so it is really not an issue that it gives the error back on Class 2. The only time this might be a problem is if you try to use software that was written to work ONLY with Class 2 modem, _AND_ it uses the AT+FCLASS command to determine if it is a Class 2 modem. From a development standpoint, that would be kinda silly since all of the Class 2 features are supported by Class 1. I've never seen any FAX software out there that does this, but there is an awful lot of lot, so I guess anything is possible.

Hamm" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Mitchell B. Hamm" Subject: Letter from the PTP Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Tom Gibson sent this to me to forward as the list bounced it when he tried: Dear HPLX Mailing List, Let me re-introduce myself to the list, it has been a long time since I contributed anything to the list, and for that I owe apologies to all. My name is Tom Gibson and I am the Technical Editor for the HP Palmtop Paper and also for Handheld PC Magazine along with being the Webmaster for our Web site. I have been a member of this list, as Mitch said, from the beginning, I think I was the third member of the original, and was a member of the new incarnation since before the list became public - correct me if I am wrong Al - and I have found the information invaluable and much of what is discussed on this list finds it's way into the HP Palmtop Paper. I am sorry that members of this list feel that we are covering the Win CE market too much, but one of the complaints we have had in the past is that we don't cover any of the competition - the basic fact is that the Palmtop Paper covers HP Palmtops, and HP's foray into the Win CE market is the first since the Omnigo (we all remember that don't we?) which we announced in the HP Palmtop Paper and then launched a magazine to cover the Omnigo. What we are trying to do is cover HP Palmtops, and many subscribers have asked about the HP line of Win CE devices, so we carry announcements and have a few articles that cover it. The way stuff gets into the HP Palmtop Paper is from people like you. Mitch has written a profile that we published and Jorgen Wallgren has written a couple of articles for us. The problem is that I don't get as much time as I used to be online with the users soliciting articles, and we don't have much of a backlog of material at this time because of it. It's not that there is no material to write about, there are tons, it's just that we don't sit here and write the stuff ourselves. I know that everyone on this list and for that matter everyone who uses the 200LX have unique things that they do with the palmtop, that is what makes for an interesting publication. If anyone on this list would like to write an article, tip or whatever, we would be glad to hear from you. Our readers are also our contributors, and without them, there would be no HP Palmtop Paper. Writers guidelines for the HP Palmtop Paper are on our web site (http://www.thaddeus.com) and I would be more than happy to send them to anyone who wishes to write for the Palmtop Paper, and would be happy to put it on S.U.P.E.R. or any other site. Of course, we can't guarentee that the article/tip/whatever will be published. We (Thaddeus Computing) have made a commitment to the 200LX market that we will continue the HP Palmtop Paper as long as we can without it losing money, and have begun upgrading new and used palmtops to supplement the HP Palmtop Paper. I am sorry that I am rambling on here, so I will stop. If anyone wants to reach me, my email address is tom_gibson@thaddeus.com Tom Gibson Technical Editor - HP Palmtop Paper tom_gibson@thaddeus.com -------------------------------------------- ***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, 5 Dec 1997 16:20:42 -0600 Reply-To: speters@kdsi.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stan Peters Subject: Re: PNS, and Task switcher MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The Application manager is a task switcher and Setup offers memory sizing for the DOS "partition". The App manager ( &.. ) offers a list - F8. The &.. key is operable while in a DOS pgm. So you can have quite a few tasks available, all but one must be installed under the App mgr. Some .exm programs use XIP or ROM for the code segments of pgms. But other than that, you are limited to less than 640K, unless you are using emm200 and a swapper. If you want to use PNS, execute something like pmap or mapmem which will show you how much memory PMS occupies, and set the DOS partition size accordingly.

Yes, but you won't find the President doing any such thing!

I have learned a few things in optimizing it to run Software Carousel and thought I'd share. By the way, does anyone know of any detailed tech notes regarding how SC really works? I'd be grateful to know rather than discover this stuff by trial and error. The manuals, the stuff with the disks, and the info on their web page is not very technical. First of all, with my current TSRs I find that I can have 557k work areas. But after I configured SC to have a permanent swap file on C: that was just large enough to handle 3 of them, I kept having lots of system locks and session lock ups. SC with the full menu option selected, reports that it needs 32kb of swap memory for itself. However, with some experimentation, I find that SCreally needs another 16kb for a total of 48kb or I consistently get a system lock up after accessing all three work areas. Second, I discovered that the amount of free ram decreases by 16kb after each subsequent work area is first accessed, or initialized. Third, I was still having occasional lock ups when I switched to a combination of permananent swap file on C: and EMS memory (as provided by TREMM). I also discovered that the EMS memory was *much faster* than the permanent swap file. When I switched to using all EMS memory, the lock ups decreased dramatically! I thought that the permanent swap file on C: would be fastest, but not so! I now have about 4800kb of C: devoted to EMS. 64kb is used by Stacker, and 2496kb is devoted to the SC resource pool, with no disk space devoted to SC at all. The rest of the EMS is used by Lotus Agenda, Managing Your Money, and occasionally PKZIP. I have 5 work areas defined in SC and each is 544kb. Even though I could have each 557kb, I'm playing it safe for now. I find that SC like increments of 16kb, and won't even let me specify anything between the max of 557kb and 544kb. Why it accepts 557kb (not being on a 16kb border), I have no idea. Besides, I plan on adding at one or two more drivers and TSRs. I am now confident that I have one of the fastest, stablest, task switching HP200LX palmtops on the planet! :-) I hope this my experience helps some of you, and I'd be interested in your experiences as well. When I mention these lock ups, I hope I haven't given any of you a bad impression of SC. I've been experimenting with the palmtop a lot lately. Lots of exiting programs and SC itself. Lots of reboots and hard resets. This is a great product, and I used it daily on a '286 machine prior to Windows 3.0 and its a real productivity booster. My most important recommendation is to save your work before switching to another work area.

However, the disks may have become bad because of a fungus growth that affects computer floppies, cassette tapes, VCR tapes and so on in damp climates. If you have a disk that will not read in a drive which has been working with no problem, before you put a second disk in the drive, put a cleaning disk with a little alcohol on it. Run that disk for a few seconds, stop, let it dry for a few seconds and then try your next disk. In this climate, this is a common problem and the residue from the first disk collects on the head in the drive and wears through the oxide on the next disk and ruins it. Been there, done that.

I think that is a great diet and exercise (calorie expenditure) program that runs fine on the HP200LX. It has one of the most extensive food value databases I have ever heard of. Its a great recipe program too that allows you to create recipes of your own with nutrient values for each serving, shopping lists, history graphs of calorie intake and calories expended. I've only touched on its capabities. I used this program about a year ago and it helped me tremendously. Now that I have more disk space, I'm using it again. I only wish it had a more up-to- date fast food database. The version I'm using is 2.21 from 1990. I chose this program after doing extensive research into palmtop and desktop programs of this type. This is the best I found, because, if you don't have it with you, and if it isn't easy, you won't stick with it! They had a web site, and I'd find it for you but my ISP is having some difficulty at the moment. I think the cost was something like $35. As I recall, the program installation insisted on being run in a directory called SANTE just off one level from the root directory. Other than that installation was flawless. Install to desktop, then transfer to a SANTE directory on the palmtop. Size is a little large for full installation at 2mb, but hey, there's compression right? And it compresses to greater than 1.7:1 overall with Stacker 3.0 on my machine. Down to about 750kb with PKZIP. BTW, I have no association with Hopkins Technology.

In most cases it will give the message *BATTERY ERROR* - Press ESC. and stops charging al together. I thought that may be my rechargeable batteries were defect (Hitachi Nickel Cadmium 700mA) and just got myself two new Varta High Cap (1200mAh Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries. I also downloaded ABC/LX program in order to monitor the charging better. In order to process the configuration I followed the instructions and all went well. The first time I needed recharging (battery low warning) it started charging, reached the max charge (2,92) very fast and stopped. Battery value after this super fast charge 2.70 volt. After that every time I tried to charge battery error again and again. Can I force the responsible .env file to keep charging enabled or is there something broke in my HP or is my charger defect? How could I find out? Any ideas? PS as a matter of fact, charging is going on right now after lots of battery errors. Won't touch my Palmtop in order not to disturb the charging. Perhaps it charges again without difficulties.

This sounds to me as if there was a problem with measuring the battery voltage. 2.92 volts is pretty high for NiMHs and if this is reached *fast*, then something seems to be wrong. Battery error usually means the measured voltage is higher than what is "normal" for the type of battery you use. If you have a voltage meter, you might want to compare the voltage it measures with the voltage the palmtop displays.

Open phonebook yourself and search for record. 2, Hit a hot keyto activiate EasyShare. EasyShare grabs data, closes Phonebook, opens Memo, pastes into Memo, saves file and returns you toWord Processor. EasyShare could also grab data from phonebook and write it directly to some file. If you were using a better program than WP for Windows, (like WP for DOS), Easyshare could also easily automate it, too. DOS programs are much easier to automate than Windows. Windows is just good for babies who need to do everything visually and *manually.* ÝJust kidding.

But after I made the necessary changes, It hasn't happened since. Make sure that you have the correct settings for the batteries being used. Also did you let ABC/LX do an Auto Tune on you batteries?

The reason it is supported in NT is that a huge amount of software exists for DOS, software that has not yet, or might never, be written as native NT applications. DOS has been reduced to being used for special purposes, such as on small computers (the palmtops). On a modern day desktop computer, an application running under DOS has no advantages over the same application written as an 95/NT app, running under 95/NT. On the contrary, I would say. NT has the advantage of multitasking, better use of resources, etc. You can do this with dos multitaskers/taskswitchers, but it is not as effective. This is not to say that I am a 95/NT convert :-) My Word Processor of choice is still Word Perfect v5.1 for DOS, and it doesn't look as if I'm going to change soon. The advantage of using DOS on a palmtop, as opposed to a custom made OS, is the large amount of software already written and just as importantly the large amount of availiable programming languages. That I could run Pascal, Forth, and a few more obscure languages (ML, anyone?) languages on my 200LX was one of the main reasons I bought it. I was rather tempted by the Psion 5 series, but it simply didn't have enough programming languages availiable and the ones that were, were either cross-platform or costed money... A lot of DOS software is free. (It did have a Sinclair Spectrum emulator... something I really miss on the 200LX ;-) I think the Spectrum was called the Timex in the States BTW.) Well, it seems I have gotten a bit off subject here. Oh, well... ;-) Regards, Laust --- /// Laust Brock-Nannestad - laustbn@diku.dk - HPLX+C64+SID /// /// "Very funny, Scotty.

Dear HPLX Mailing List, Let me re-introduce myself to the list, it has been a long time since I contributed anything to the list, and for that I owe apologies to all. My name is Tom Gibson and I am the Technical Editor for the HP Palmtop Paper and also for Handheld PC Magazine along with being the Webmaster for our Web site. I have been a member of this list, as Mitch said, from the beginning, I think I was the third member of the original, and was a member of the new incarnation since before the list became public - correct me if I am wrong Al - and I have found the information invaluable and much of what is discussed on this list finds it's way into the HP Palmtop Paper. I am sorry that members of this list feel that we are covering the Win CE market too much, but one of the complaints we have had in the past is that we don't cover any of the competition - the basic fact is that the Palmtop Paper covers HP Palmtops, and HP's foray into the Win CE market is the first since the Omnigo (we all remember that don't we?) which we announced in the HP Palmtop Paper and then launched a magazine to cover the Omnigo. What we are trying to do is cover HP Palmtops, and many subscribers have asked about the HP line of Win CE devices, so we carry announcements and have a few articles that cover it. The way stuff gets into the HP Palmtop Paper is from people like you. Mitch has written a profile that we published and Jorgen Wallgren has written a couple of articles for us. The problem is that I don't get as much time as I used to be online with the users soliciting articles, and we don't have much of a backlog of material at this time because of it. It's not that there is no material to write about, there are tons, it's just that we don't sit here and write the stuff ourselves. I know that everyone on this list and for that matter everyone who uses the 200LX have unique things that they do with the palmtop, that is what makes for an interesting publication. If anyone on this list would like to write an article, tip or whatever, we would be glad to hear from you. Our readers are also our contributors, and without them, there would be no HP Palmtop Paper. Writers guidelines for the HP Palmtop Paper are on our web site (http://www.thaddeus.com) and I would be more than happy to send them to anyone who wishes to write for the Palmtop Paper, and would be happy to put it on S.U.P.E.R. or any other site. Of course, we can't guarentee that the article/tip/whatever will be published. We (Thaddeus Computing) have made a commitment to the 200LX market that we will continue the HP Palmtop Paper as long as we can without it losing money, and have begun upgrading new and used palmtops to supplement the HP Palmtop Paper. I am sorry that I am rambling on here, so I will stop.

I had a computer modem (turned off) on the same phone line at the same time. It really changed my mind about using internal modems. All telephone lines are supposed to have a lightning arrester and fuses on the line. Most lightning is a jolt induced from a discharge some distance away. A direct lightning strike would just leave a charred path where the phone line used to be. Fortunate that that is so rare. I believe that even these little PCMCIA modems have a varistor across the phone line and capacitors to ground but it is obvious that these little parts could dissipate only a little power.

It may be that the HP100LX is working properly (in it's limited world view). If you put in normal alkaline cells and attempted to charge them, they would behave much the way that you described. Rise quickly to about 3 volts (per pair). This might make the HP believe that you are doing something wrong. If it continues to trouble you, I would buy a set of alkaline batteries, install them and set the computer to non rechargable cells. Then when these are used up, put the NiCD cells back in and try them again. Actually, I have a pair of the HItachi 700 ma. hr. cells that I am going to install when the present cells are finished. Your cells may be defective. If mine behave the same way, I will let you know. My thinking is that, when the HP100LX was made, these newer kinds of batteries were not in existance. Thus, when the computer sees something that does not fit the programmed pattern, it makes the only assumption that it can. I have heard that someone is writing or has written software for the HP200LX to accomodate charging the NiMh cells. I have also heard that the voltmeter in the HP200LX doesn't control charging. Hope this helps.

Stacker 4.0 works better than 3.0. The compression ratio is higher. However, for best results stacker 4.0 requires DOS version 6 or later. The stacker device driver can be configured to use expanded memory, with a EMM, thus it still leaves more room for DOS programs under 640 kB. >Primarily with flash cards? Greater compression, stability, reliability, I tried to use stacker 4.0 on my flash cards, but it does not functioning as I want . The card is mouunted as a stacker anywhere A: drive !. However, it is true, the compression is better, and I think it is more stable. The compression ratio becomes very high when I put databases or text data more. However, if I put binary file more and more then the compression ratio decreased, pretty the same with the stacker 3.0. My 5 MB flash card compressed into 12.5 MB with Stacker 4.0, but only 10 MB with stacker 3.0. But again, it depends on type of data we put on the card. >speed, security, conventional RAM footprint, installation, etc.? Speed is quite the same like what we already have on our built in flash card compression stacker 3.0. Stacker 4.0 requires more conventional memory. I did not install EMM200 driver on my palmtop (at least I failed to install it correctly :-) ), thus I used the normal conventional memory. With the use of conventional memory, I still have 555,760 B free when I terminate all built-in applications. With the program manager running, the conventional memory free is 377K which is more than enough to run multiple built-in programs (123, Memo,calculator, database, etc.). > >Any help would be appreciated. > >David Runge > Hope this helps you .

First off thanks for the sc installation tips - very useful. I have used stacker 3 & 4 on my palmtops and found them both extremely solid and 100% reliable. I have never lost data due to a stacker problem on my palmtop. They work equally well on a flashcard or on the c: drive however I do not recommend them on a 1 megger (jam is more appropriate). Version 4 has superior compression and as a result suffers a trifle speed penalty over v3. The trade-off is worth it IMHO. As for low ram, 4 uses more of course but with ems available you can whittle the dependency down to about 35k. Installation is a breeze with either version.

I have a couple of inputs, and a couple of questions. I'll give you my background so you'll understand my biases! I have ah HP-100LX with a 10 Mb flash card and have used both extensively since 1993. I used mostly the HP SysMgr software, with many databases (adb, ndb, and gdb's), some spreadsheets, and Quicken in DOS. I have the following inputs: 1. I use a standard 10in x 8in Daytimer case for my HP. I put a strip of velcro on the big plastic sheet that is in the back, put it in the front, and a matching strip on the back of my HP makes it work. I keep a disk holder, a calendar, and a pocket with junk (stamps, eraser, etc) and it makes a useful, small package. I can't put it in my pocket, but I haven't sat on it yet either! The padding in the Daytimer case protects well. 2. I saw a thread regarding a good math package for use on the HP - I use a product called (depending on what version you get) Calculus Calculator or (X)Plore. You can get (X)Plore by going to www.shareware.com and quick search on "calculus" - I found the cdrom.com site to work and got a more recent version. Very powerful. I have modeled several systems with this package and been very pleased with the results. 3. I program in both Turbo C and Turbo Pascal - they work well. I was thinking of "upgrading" to a WinCE platform, but a few weeks of moderating that discussion group made me look for this group, and here I am, having decided that I want to upgrade to an HP-200 LX (with x2 doubler) for the following reasons: 1. 2MB base memory 2. Software support for syncing files with MS95 products (though I perceive this isn't all it's cracked up to be) 3. Quicken in ROM (WIll give me another Meg or so on my Flashdisk) 4. Better BIOS/modem support Besides, with the availability of used 200's, the price is too good not to move up. My questions: 1. How hard is NetTamer to setup? What ISP support is required? I am really interested in email support only - what is my best option? 2. What's missing in Pocket Quicken? 3. Has anyone solved syncing with Outlook (that is the scheduling software I use at work) Thanks ! Brian "The meek shall inherit the earth. About six feet of it." - R. A.

I could use more help please. I read that Stacker 4.0 requires 17kb of conventional RAM vs. about 21kb with Stacker 3.0 when using EMS as I intend to do. Can anyone confirm this? Also, one big reason I'd like to use 4.0 is because I think it might be able to provide an uncompressed and compressed portion of a flash card and both can be accessed simultaneously using different drive letters (like I used to do years ago on a desktop machine using Stacker, and like DoubleSpace works). However, from at least one reply, it sounds like Stacker doesn't do this. Can someone confirm this? (An uncompressed area for speed, and a compressed drive for space would be ideal). Also, I tried to install 4.0 using the commercial product for desktop machines but I had great difficulty. First, I loaded Laplink on both machines, hoping I could install direct to the redirected C: drive of the palmtop, which was referenced as Drive F. However, the installation program insisted on installing to C:\STACKER. I thought, OK, fine, let it install there and I'll move the necessary files to the palmtop after installation, but noooo... The host machine I was installing from has a Doublespace drive (created under Win95) and before installation would complete, Stacker said it needed to convert it to a Stacker drive and reboot the machine. This I did not want and canceled the install immediately. I then tried manually moving over just the files I thought I needed from the Stacker install that made it before I cancelled out. (I didn't copy the Windows files and DOS 6 specific files, as identified by the FILELIST.TXT). I then ran the setup from the palmtop's C: drive, but SETUP said it needed to run from the original diskettes. Can someone identify/ provide the necessary files and step by step installation instructions? (Al, is 4.1 better? I want to be able to use some of the tools too.) The Stac web page that I printed out a couple of months ago pertains only to stacking a palmtop's C: drive. Do we need a Web page on this? Does one already exist? BTW, I got my copy new, in the box, about two years ago, from a friend who used to work at Stac.

I've had it running on my 200lx; it runs perfectly, but at about 25% of full speed (with the Ultimate game "Pssst!"). Other versions may run faster; and combining a double speed would probably do the trick. The ZX81 emulator is many times faster than a ZX81! How fast was the Psion version? and how accurate was the graphics emulation?

Higher than that and you will have components on the modem getting fried. 2. The modem (internal 33.6k and 56k) that I was working on has a capacitor of 500VDC as a surge protector of some sort in front of the modem circuit. 3.

That heart stopping moment ten minutes ago, as I was going down the stairs to my basement as I realised that the loud banging noise I was hearing was the sound of my trusty 200LX as, having slipped out of its padded pouch, it crashed end-over-end down ten feet of bare wooden stairs and crashed to an abrupt stop over 15 feet away on the hard concrete floor. As I rush to the side of my fallen companion I spot the flash card, both batteries, and the battery cover each laying several feet from my palmtop. I quickly reassemble things and with a sense of dread, i pressed the ON button... flicker... totaly random garbage screen. I hit the standard 3-finger reboot... NOTHING happens... (At this point I'm already mentaly consulting my checkbook and wondering how long I'll have to live on peanut butter sandwiches and macaroni before I'll be able to afford a replacement...) With a sense of dread I hold my breath and hit the hard-reset... A momentary pause, then I faintly make out the familiar reboot message amongst an array of dead and always-on pixel columns. With a sinking feeling I tap the palmtop gently to see if it's a loose connector only to have the (formerly unnoticed) broken battery cover dump itself and the batteries on the floor. After replacing the batteries and several attempts at tapping and (gently) flexing the display, a miracle occurs... The screen briefly flickers and then clearly displays the reboot message. Salvation!! I've owned quite a few handhelds, but of all of them, none but the HPLX series could have come thru something like this with not a single scratch, only a broken battery cover and (perhaps) a touchy display connector. I just thought, after all the drop stories I've read here, that I'd share this minor miracle with you all. Now, anyone know where I can get a battery cover without having to buy one of those maintenance kits with a little bit of everything in it? Regards to you all, ... JLS --- John L.

There are *tons* of speccy emulators, but they all run rather slowly. I did have success with one, though. If I disabled sound and colour (what colour? ;-), Chaos would run at an acceptable speed. You should be able to get almost full speed on a 200LX, though. One emulator I tried was very fast indeed, but it always crashed very quickly.

I've also seen DOS used as a boot-up for network installations of Windows where a lot of machines are involved; you need some way to get booted up from a floppy to log in to the server to get the installation process started. I'm not as familiar with what NT does in these cases, is NT small enough to boot from a floppy to a command line for emergency work like OS/2 was? Someone can fill us in. -Bryan Laust Brock-Nannestad wrote: (deleto!) -------------------------------------------- ***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, 8 Dec 1997 09:40:45 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Phil Drummond Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Phil Drummond Subject: Re: DOS Dead?

I'm quite clear on "dead" as it applies to animals and plants. If anyone cares, I think the word 'dead' and 'virus' or any other word used to describe organic systems should not be used to describe the state of being for inanimate objects, systems, or practices not related to conditions of living systems. As for the status of DOS, if people (like myself, and you, if you use an HPxxxLX) continue to buy, sell, write software requiring, or simply discuss DOS, it is still "current" and should be supported by system manufacturers like HP, Intel, and (sorry, I am about to speak the "G" word) bill gates.

I got the new dbl spd which I proceeded to load over the weekend. Loading my personal goodies, I ran an old text editor to edit my new auto and config files. I got a cursor in the upper left hand corner and the machine hangs, dead. Nothing can get me out, no three finger or sft-on/off works. The next morning, I try taking out all the batts and after residual energy depleted, I get the boot. Great, but C: is now gone and now I'm in the process of reloading everything from scratch. I suspect its the speed (or corrupted pgm) with some pgms that don't work, but in a case like this you can't tell tilll you try. The lesson from this is how to resolve the situation (with a good recent back up on A:).

To this end, I modified my AUTOEXEC.BAT to record every re-boot (or execution of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file) to a file BOOTLOG.DOC. Now I have a history, including a comment, of each re-boot. If I think it has become a problem I will ask Thaddeus about it. :) Phil BTW, I use several specialized programs to control/diagnose radio systems, and to date none of them has crashed my x2/8meg.

I had tried most of those before I posted the query, but I still appreciate your efforts. This past weekend another document has started to act up the same way. When I load it in, the 'modified' indicator stays lit, and when I exit or load another document, the app asks if I want to save it first. I've rebooted several times. I've closed all other apps, same results. I've looked at the hex dump, comparing with another document that works fine. No differences, besides the obvious difference in content. There seems to be nothing wrong with the disk. I get the same behavior whether the file is on a flash card or the built-in RAM disk. When I save the file in response to the prompt, the resulting file is byte-for-byte identical to the original. The new file also exhibits the same behavior. The documents are definitely formatted. They print fine. The docs are English text, no accents or other diacriticals. I've even used the DOCRTF program from S.U.P.E.R. to convert to RTF, load it in M$ Word, save it again as RTF, and DOCRTF it back to DOC format. Memo still leaves the modified indicator on. I think this rules out a funny byte somewhere in the file. One thing the two misbehaving files have in common: they are the only two documents that are between 32k and 34k in size. Other documents may have had this problem before they grew beyond 34k. I've currently got over a dozen files, ranging from 18k to 40k. However, it's not purely a matter of size. I just added a bunch of long, blank paragraphs, stopping occasionally to save and reload the file. Sometimes, it works fine. Even when the file got past 34k, sometimes it would not work right. Maybe it's a boundary condition on some internal buffer. This isn't a show-stopper (yet). It's just an annoyance, not knowing for sure if I had made any changes or not. If I go ahead and save it the time stamp gets modified, and I later wonder what I had changed since the last time I printed it out. Yeah, I suppose I could use Database or Notetaker to track the latest change times to each doc, but...

There are two basic methods: 1- create a STACVOL.DSK on your desktop machine, then use LapLink(or similar) to move that file as well as STACKER.COM & STACKER.INI to your LX. OR 2- copy STACKER.COM, CREATE.COM, SCREXEC.EXE, SCREXEC2.EXE to the LX and type Ýdrive¨Ýpath¨ create a: /s=3D0 /r=3D2.5. You will also need= to create a STACKER.INI file to mount the drive.

Could this editor have attempted something that conflicted with the TSR that manages the speed upgrade? I have a Thaddeus x2/8meg and to date, the only thing I have seen in the way of "weirdness" is that it slows down from time to time, causing me to have to re-boot. To this end, I modified my AUTOEXEC.BAT to record every re-boot (or execution of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file) to a file BOOTLOG.DOC. Now I have a history, including a comment, of each re-boot. If I think it has become a problem I will ask Thaddeus about it. :) Phil BTW, I use several specialized programs to control/diagnose radio systems, and to date none of them has crashed my x2/8meg. I am also using MAXDOS to "find" space for one of these applications. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 8 Dec 1997 18:20:00 -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: Re: Need feedback on doublespeed HPs In-Reply-To: <01IQXQLVM90S004S2M@MAIL-RELAY.PCY.MCI.NET> Content-Type: text -> I believe a reconditioned one go for $575 and a new one is $795 -> (about).

Puma (Intellisync) doesn't do it and sound like they won't since it means rewriting thier app as 32-bit. I really need to be able to do this and if I can't with my 100 will need to change to a 360 (or a PalmPilot). I can do a one-time import from LX to Outlook if I had the time (in fact I've done it in a rough way before) and going the other way (using CSV output from Outlook and gdbio into the 100) isn't be too hard either. This only gives a one-way dump to replace everything on the other end and doesn't do record level (let alone field level) synchronisation. I want to at least do record level synchronising.

It is important to remember that the telephone company puts 40-50 volts DC on the telephone line to sense if the phone is removed from the hook. When that happens, the resistance of the telephone lines and the telephone instrument (or modem) drop the voltage at the telephone set connections to say 8 volts DC. The 5-10 ma. going through the line from the telco office to the subscriber closes a relay at the office which calls up switching equipment and gives you a dial tone. The signaling signal (bell) can easily be about 100 volts at low frequency AC (16-20 cy,) This tells you (or the fax machine or modem) to pick up the phone. These are all normal signals on the system. The modem (or phone) has only a protective varistor across the line with a capacitor and bell (or equivalent) until the connect signal is given. > > 2. The modem (internal 33.6k and 56k) that I was working on has a capacitor > of 500VDC as a surge protector of some sort in front of the modem circuit. > > 3. We are still getting modem fried esp. after a heavy thunderstorm with > characteristic of no dial tone, fax ok but data part dead, etc. When I was in Malaysia, there were heavy thunder stormes each afternoon. The parts in the telephone or modem can only give a little protection. Outside the building, the telco has a lightning arrestor, and a fuse on each line. The lightning arrestor is connected to a ground. In my case, this is a stake driven into the ground behind the house. I live in Taiwan and where I live, the telephone circuits seem well done and well installed. Much better than in Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA where GT&E has the franchise. None of this is going to do any good against a direct strike. It will help against an induced voltage as long as it is not too large. Keep in mind that the telephone was probably the first electrical device in many homes. In the Western world the telephone came into peoples homes at almost the same time as the tram or electric street car became their transportation to work. These were powered by 500-600 volts DC. The principal reason for the protection was if the overhead phone lines got mixed with the overhead power lines for the electric street cars. Thus, the lightning protector was set to arc at 500 volts and a continued arc would cause it to short and open the fuse. > > 4. If a lightning hits a phone pole some miles away, your connected PC or > whatever gets charred and that it. As I said earlier, I had the modem in a fax machine burned out but have not yet lost a modem or phone.

All telephone numbers in America begin with the digits 555. Most dogs are immortal. If being chased through town, you can usually take cover in a passing St. Patrick's Day parade - at any time of the year. All beds have special L-shaped cover sheets which reach up to the armpit level on a woman but only to waist level on the man lying beside her. All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of French Bread. It's easy for anyone to land a plane providing there is someone in the control tower to talk you down. Once applied, lipstick will never rub off - even while scuba diving. The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place. No-one will ever think of looking for you in there and you can travel to any other part of the building you want without difficulty. If you need to reload your gun, you will always have more ammunition, even if you haven't been carrying any before now. You're very likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home. Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not be necessary to speak the language. A German accent will do. If your town is threatened by an imminent natural disaster or killer beast, the mayor's first concern will be the tourist trade or his forthcoming art exhibition. The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window in Paris. A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds. If a large pane of glass is visible, someone will be thrown through it before long. The Chief of Police is always black. When paying for a taxi, don't look at your wallet as you take out a bill - just grab one at random and hand it over. It will always be the exact fare. Interbreeding is genetically possible with any creature from elsewhere in the universe. Kitchens don't have light switches. When entering a kitchen at night, you should open the fridge door and use that light instead. If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises in their most revealing underwear. Word processors never display a cursor on screen but will always say: Enter Password Now. Mothers routinely cook eggs, bacon and waffles for their family every morning even though their husband and children never have time to eat it. Cars that crash will almost always burst into flames. The Chief of Police will always suspend his star detective - or give him 48 hours to finish the job. A single match will be sufficient to light up a room the size of RFK Stadium. Medieval peasants had perfect teeth. Although in the 20th century it is possible to fire weapons at an object out of our visual range, people of the 23rd century will have lost this technology. Any person waking from a nightmare will sit bolt upright and pant. It is not necessary to say hello or goodbye when beginning or ending phone conversations. Even when driving down a perfectly straight road it is necessary to turn the steering wheel vigorously from left to right every few moments. All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts so you know exactly when they're going to go off. It is always possible to park directly outside the building you are visiting. A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty. If you decide to start dancing in the street, everyone you bump into will know all the steps. Most laptop computers are powerful enough to override the communication systems of any invading alien civilization. It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts - your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors. When a person is knocked unconscious by a blow to the head, they will never suffer a concussion or brain damage. No-one involved in a car chase, hijacking, explosion, volcanic eruption or alien invasion will ever go into shock. Police Departments give their officers personality tests to make sure they are deliberately assigned a partner who is their total opposite. When they are alone, all foreigners prefer to speak English to each other. You can always find a chainsaw when you need one. Any lock can be picked by a credit card or a paper clip in seconds -unless it's the door to a burning building with a child trapped inside. An electric fence, powerful enough to kill a dinosaur will cause no lasting damage to an eight year old child. Television news bulletins usually contain a story that affects you personally at that precise moment. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 8 Dec 1997 20:52:06 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jorgen Dybdahl Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jorgen Dybdahl Subject: Re: DOS Dead?

No, there are advantages: For small utility programs or tutorials that don't need fancy graphics, DOS is simply much better and faster than Windows. 1) The application can be *written* much faster, hence the application may spring to life rather than just being a possibility that is never realized. 2) The application is more portable. I can put it on a diskette and easilly move it to another machine as needed and do this quickly. I don't have to deal with a long, complicated windows install and worry about dlls, the registry, initialization files, etc. 3) I can *easily* distribute the application via email since it is so small compared to a windows application. (I'm doing that now with EAR.EXE, an ear training program for musician and music students.) 4) It's possible to automate things with DOS in ways that you can't with Windows. That's because you can easily capture and scan text on a DOS screen, but that's nearly impossible with Windows because the text is really a bit map. With windows, I need to click here and click there, highlight this and drag it there, etc., again and again. It's very a manual and tedius process and it can't be easily automated even with tools like Winbatch. With DOS, I just enter a keyword and that's it. The Batch process or agent system takes over and does the rest. I actually use small DOS utilties quite a lot as control programs in the building of GUI applications for Windows NT. We're still building a GUI application for Windows NT at work. If we had written it in DOS, in my humble option, we would have finished it about 6 months ago (at least!) and the application would do essential the same thing as the Windows version without the benefit of all of the GPFs. > >The advantage of using DOS on a palmtop, as opposed to a custom made OS, >is the large amount of software already written and just as importantly >the large amount of availiable programming languages.

I called Puma (and after 25 minutes on hold) talked to one of their technicians. I don't even know if he had heard of the 200LX. Said that all their efforts are being spent towards WinCE (wince). I had downloaded a version of their IntelliSynch and it came with a couple of crippled version Appointments and Phone Book Applications that Hewlett Packard must have licenced to Puma. They look good on the screen, but one problem is that the Notes field in the Phone Book cannot be made "full screen" so therefore is virtually unreadable and worthless. And of course no Data Base or Notebook functions. Would like to hear about what others are using. Makes the old HP DOS Connectivity Pack look good when you see what's out there. But transfering files is not synch-ing.

Anyone? ZX-SPectrum came out in 1982. There are several DOS emulators (pre-dates the Psion one); not specific for the hp200lx. The one I tried ran *slow*. There are more ZX-Spectrum games out there on the Web than you can poke a stick at. But don't bother - they mainly have nostagia value, for us old-timers. (How can I possibly be an `old-timer'?) Do a web search. It's just as quick as me digging out the web addresses, from where-ever they are. Once you know something exists, you can find it real quick with a web search.

I am the person with the "magic" backup battery! I appreciate your concern, so I thought that your mind should be put partly to rest; but first of all, let me confirm that my backup battery has never been changed and at the time of writing has a recorded voltage of 2.99, measured on more than one system. While I am not disagreeing with what you said, for ages I have been carrying around a new backup battery just in case. I also carry spare main batteries and regularly check the voltage of both kinds, always changing the normal batteries the moment that there is a warning. Also, lithium batteries are renowned for their long shelf life. Finally, I make regular data backups as an ultimate precaution. I am genuinely intrigued to find out just how long the backup battery will last; it's not just that my Scottish background has made me too mean to replace it! In our local user's group one member has complained that his backup batteries are forever being used up. I suspect that there is a fault in his system. My Palmtop is in regular use every day, so it's not just a question of the backup battery never seeing any action, either. I suspect that this type of lithium battery may be capable of taking up a limited charge. Also, in measuring the voltage of many of this type of cell, I have found one with a slight reversed charge. If we don't experiment carefully, we'll never get an answer. When I get my new 200LX, I shall keep the old backup battery in the old 100LX and continue the experiment. One day I'll let you all know the result. Anyway, thanks again for your concern.

Text isn't always a bitmap, but overall I have to agree, batch-processing in Windows is harder than in DOS.

GPFs under NT? I've never encountered one. Besides, I would have thought that MS would have called it something else as it was under Win 3.0 ;-) Ýsnip¨ I would still say that the DOS market is pretty much dead. This is not to say that DOS software is not being used or developed. Heck, I know people who use their old Commodore machines for Internet, Word Processing, etc. I simply mean that DOS isn't the place where you will a lot of money and that the larger companies have abandoned the market (some) completely. Still, for hobby programmers and people with older machines, DOS is great, as I mentioned in my earlier post.

It is not perfect, and for some odd reason it always starts up in VGA mode, meaning that you won't see anything on screen. Pressing F10 will bring up a menu, where you can change it to CGA. There is one other emulator (in the same dir) that I would really like to get running. It is called Warajevo and it is *much* faster than anything else I have seen.

Hey, I had both a 95LX and a 100LX, then a Zaurus 5800 (well, anyone can make a mistake), and I now have the 320LX. For my needs, this is the best machine that I have ever used. The ability to seamlessly port Excel and Word 97 files back and forth is what I had hoped for with the the Zaurus (and didn't get), but the 320LX is perfect. I loved the 95 and 100, I have been a loyal HP user for years, from the the HP-25 onwards to the HP48GX and the LXs, but life goes on... I'm happy to progress. Imagine your chagrin had you asked a question about your 95/100/200LX and gotten the reply that you posted. Lighten up, Duane, others can have just as much passion and inquisitiveness about their machine as you do for yours.

In other words, do not run Agenda off an ATA flash card unless you have the 2X upgrade. ______________________________________________ "Michael Stocker" 12/9/97 9:31:29 AM 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: Tue, 9 Dec 1997 14:34:36 -0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Brown, William" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Brown, William" Subject: Re: HP100/200 Synchronise with Outlook MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain I think so too, the main thing I use it for is the appointments.

A man was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess."  He bent over, picked up the frog, and put it in his pocket. The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will tell everyone how smart and brave you are and how you are my hero." The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it, and returned it to his pocket. The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess,  I will be your loving companion for an entire week." The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it, and returned it to his pocket. The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you for a year and do ANYTHING you want." Again the man took the frog out, smiled at it, and put it back into his pocket. Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you for a year and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?" The man said, "Look, I'm a computer programmer.

This is because the listserver sets adds both the listserver's and your own e-mail address to the "Reply-To:" field. Usually people remove the extra e-mail address, but It might slip once in a while. For example, I can guarantee that you will recieve this message twice, because I have intentionally left your e-mail address in the Reply-To field.

On Compuserve years ago, there was much discussion and a document in one of the libraries written by David Hamacek that I still have. Does anyone out there know David, and/or is it okay to resend it to everyone that wants it? I don't think it was copyrighted. As I recall, the best thing you can do is devote lots of EMS memory. In Agenda or a F10, Utilities, Customize to view how Agenda is using EMS, if any. If there's enough allocated, 384kb will be used for the program and the rest (if you let it) will be used for data. The other thing you can do is plug in the palmtop, let Agenda run until it has finished "WRKG", then exit Agenda, then start it up again. I don't know why he recommended exiting Agenda, but he did, and so I do it. If you're interested in the David Hamacek document, let me know.

I've had my upgraded 8mb 2x unit for 1 1/2 weeks and I have used Agenda on the palmtop for years. Much improved performance! Especially with plenty of EMS and especially if you can keep the data on the C: drive. I sometimes do experience just a blinking cursor in the upper left corner and have to hard reset. Most of the time, its when I am exiting Agenda or another app. However, I've never lost my C: drive or any other data that I've already saved. I run Software Carousel version 6.92 and I think this is more a problem with SC than anything else since I got this problem before the upgrade. I recommend saving your work often. I don't want to scare you. I think I'm a *very* heavy user. I bounce back and forth quite often between 5 work areas, probably 50 times a day or more. I use my palmtop probably 8 hours a day to keep my to do list and misc info that comes my way.

Create a file containing just a carriage return (the following assumes you know your way around a DOS command line): 1) Get to DOS prompt 2) Type "copy con cr.dat" and press ENTER 3) You'll be on a blank line, press ENTER again 4) Press Ctrl-Z 5) Press ENTER again, you'll get a msg: 1 file(s) copied This process creates a file called cr.dat that has just a carriage return. Now in your batch file, in place of: ENTER DATE>>BOOTLOG.DOC you can use: DATE>BOOTLOG.DOC This tells DOS to feed the cr.dat file as input to the DATE command and append the command's output to BOOTLOG.DOC.

(And a charger, since the 95LX doesn't charge batteries.) It seems to me that previously, when I had the AC adapter on the unit, that the battery levels always reported full. This is not the case now. Now the level seems the same whether the adapter is plugged in or not. Is this the way it ought to be? I would appreciate any tips on power management for this machine. For instance, under what circumstances besides use of the serial port, does the port get powered on?

It is actually a left-over from Unix or possibly CP/M?. When you have written whatever you want, end the "copying" with a Ctrl Z followed by ENTER. It is worse than Edlin (just...), but better than nothing... Actually it's quite handy for small one-liner batch files :-) If you really want control of your command-line, try a program like 4DOS (www.jpsoft.com).

I can also surf the web with graphics, I can email, I can remotely control my desktop machine, I can telnet into my Linux boxes to do administration, I can play games (of course), and I can do any number of other things that "a computer should be able to do". Also, with a tiny little app I can copy PIM databases to Flash and back and even have more than on database file per PIM app if I wanted. Also, yes I do own an HP200LX and it is a really nice machine. It runs thousands of DOS programs and can be used to do hundreds of things. It also is a pain to get connected to the internet. It can't have a modem and a flash disk at the same time without an external modem. It is too expensive to upgrade internal memory (not that HPCs are great either). It is rather slow (or else we wouldn't have all these double speed upgrades would we). The worst part, though, is that it is a dead end. There will never be a NEW HP200LX from HP. Of course there are similar machines but they are few and far between, seldom as nice as the HPLX and cost a fortune. If HP would have come out with a 386 based machine with 8M of memory I would have bought one in an instant but they didn't and they never will. Sorry to say but thats the way it goes. Another thing, don't jump all over me about being someone who needs the latest and greatest. I collect old computers, have about 50. I really like alot of them, they were and still are better platforms that our so called standard WINTEL box. But owning and using an obsolete (I prefer the term orphan) computer is like owning and using a really old car. Every year it gets more expensive and harder to keep up and I certainly wouldn't want to depend on one for a cross country trip. > > > If thsome ee answer to the above is no, I guess I can store my virtual > toothbrush for my imaginary teeth. > > Helmut Grossinger wrote: > > > Hi! > > I am talking about that little thing you insert on either side of the > > HP3X0LX called flash disk or compact disk.

The reason isn't the type of file as much as the type of FILE SYSTEM on the device. Windows CE has as its underlying storage system for RAM a thing they refer to as ObjectStore, basically just a new file system. It includes compression and other attributes that make it ideal for a small system like an HPC. Logically MS chose not to implement objectstore on external media since that would make it incompatible with other systems. The file system on a flash disk is 100% win95 compatable and can be read by any DOS system with a PC Card slot. If the Flash card had ObjectStore on it nothing could read it unless it also supported this new file system. The PIM apps use a feature of ObjectStore for their data files that makes them faster but incompatable with a "normal" file system. There are utilities that allow you to copy these database files to flash and back. The big mistake MS made was in not including some simple means of manipulating these database files in the PIM apps themselves. I would like to be able to have different shortcuts for different contact databases, maybe a command line arguement to the PIM app to tell it to load the database from some other "normal" file.

I have just converted my 486 laptop to windoze95. During the process I changed my old PCMCIA drivers to win95 compatibility for speed. It works and recognises the card....only one problem.. The card from my trusty HPLX is stacked using version 3.0. When trying to access the cards stacked data as I used to under dos/win 3.x I get the message "exit windows and run under dos". The driver to recognise the card is win95 dependent therefore under dos...no card.. :((( Does anyone know of a way to get this combination working as is or do I need to revert to the old MSDOS drivers so I can use Stacker?? Any help appreciated.. 10MB Sundisk Stacked ATA Flash card.

Comments: To: John Stanley MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit I have an extra HP-200 LX cover BUT one of the two "things" on it that keep it "locked" in place are broken off. It works fine but it is not "complete." If your battery cover is in worse shape, or if you are missing it completely, you can have my extra. It will cost you some stamps or a mailer though. If you have a pre-stamped/pre-addressed mailer you can mail that to me and I'll put the battery cover in that and send it to you. If you mail me some postage stamps I will tape some cardboard around the cover and mail it to you. If you send extra stamps I can put more packaging around it. I live close to (north of) San Francisco so you can figure out the postage necessary. If you are interested e-mail me and I'll send you my address. Now, you do just mean the plastic battery cover and not the whole back plate right?

Someone had mentioned this a long while ago (maybe back in Mitch's mail list), but my poor brain is still stuck in the DOS 3.1 era (maybe this fixation on old things explains my affection for the LX). I've modified my desktop's autoexec.bat to record bootup times using your new suggestion, and in concert with the "find" command in DOS (not included on the LX....you have to get a copy off a full DOS 5.0 system). The commands are: echo. |date |find "Current" >>boot.log echo. |date |find "Current" >>boot.log The "find" command filters out the extraneous "Enter new date/time" line from the date/time commands. - 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, 11 Dec 1997 09:32:53 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , mdstockr Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: mdstockr Subject: Agenda/ACT!

Use a DBase program and the power goes off, You have a big problem. However, word processor and most others only write to disk at intervals. The older ones only when commanded, the newer, at regular intervals. Thus you always have a mostly up to date file in memory. Thus, my guess is DB files not on flash memory, WP files probably on flash memory.

I have a backup LX (2mb) that I'd like to make compatible with my T2T upgraded 6mb "workhorse". I see from the ad that the $99 upgrade is for 4mb (ie, 2mb upgraded to 6mb, 1mb to 5mb), which makes it an attractive offer. Unfortunately (and please correct me if I'm wrong), the upgrade is not fully compatible with the T2T upgrade (ie, I wouldn't be able to use the T2T EMM drivers). I know there's another EMM driver out there, but ideally, I'd like to make the 2nd unit close enough to just swap flash cards and go...not have to worry about which EMM driver is needed for which. - 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, 11 Dec 1997 07:03:44 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Longden C.

I assume 320LX users do not have the knowledge needed to start a mailing list. They do not miss even the most basic features such as being able to search an appointment in the appointment book. So I would not assume they even know what a mailing list is nor how you set up one without a mouse. Maybe we should help them.

My guess is, you still get the "Current date is" prefix? Use sed! I highly reccommend "sed", a stream editor (20K, SimTel & SUPER). You send it a stream - like the output of date that you sent to "find" - and it performs editing commands on it, based on good 'ol unix ed (which I have *never* used). The (s)ubstitute command in particular is just like the vi one, using regular expressions: We can say: echo. | date | sed -n "/Current/ s/Current date is //p" and we get: Fri 12-12-1997 This simple format is:
/Current/ ...is a reg exp to match the line we want s/Current date is// ...substitutes the first string with the second; that is, "Current date is" with "" p ...the trailing p means to print the result (the -n option presents sed from echoing *all* lines, which is the default. Instead, it only prints what it is told to; here, that's the output of the substitute p Regular expressions are breath-takingly powerful; it's easy to swap the format of the date around, for example. In one simple line, I can replace all C++-style comments with C-style comments, for example.

A little to much Coke before you typed the message below. I think you'll find that there are a couple of timezones between NYC and the west coast where NSW are located. So there will be some times of the day when you wont catch them at work? This geography lesson bought to you by an Aussie. I purchased a NSW 6 meg machine a year ago or so and the were quite prepared to co - ordinate it's arrival at a hotel in NYC with my arrival at said hotel. Also, even though I mainly lurk here, I enjoy the list, and as Mitch pointed out, they advertise with him and make this list possible. That doesn't excuse bad service, but it would appear that yours might have been more of a perception of bad service based on personal bias? I think it best in our community we don't cut off our nose despite our face.

So I waited a few hours until they opened and gave them a call. I had a question regarding whether the upgrade was end user installable. And guess what...I got an answering machine that basically said..."There's noone to take this call and we won't take a message either so fax us or call back later." It did not include a hint of "we're sorry but..." Well, that attitude from a vendor really hacks me off. Especially when I can walk down the street and get a PalmPilot pro for $350. Maybe I'm just too old fashioned but I've gotten to the point where I refuse to buy from a company that exhibits the attitude that customers are some kind of second class citizens.

I think their phone number is 954-581-3330. I got the update about 2 months ago when I got my new 2mb unit through HP Express Exchange and wanted to make sure I had everything up to date. Don't know of any enhancements. Maybe some bug fixes? I had a little trouble installing it from the .ZIP file they sent me via Email 'cause they screwed up and also didn't give me detailed instructions. (You *must* run the installation program.) If you have any trouble, let me know. They gave the update to me for free after I proved I was a registered owner (from a couple years ago, I was among the first dozen or so people to get it).

I frequently reboot the LX and I load autoexec and config.sys from a: (which right now refers to device=c:\tremm.sys). If I were to use another EMM scheme on another machine, you're correct in saying that I should be able to just swap cards... but if I had to reboot the machine (such as after my daily modem use or after the occasional runaway program locks up the system), I'd have to remember to edit the a:config.sys to refer to another EMM driver. A small hassle to be sure, but I REALLY LIKE to keep my life SIMPLE . If I have another EMM driver, that's another set of instructions, files and command options to keep track of in order to do essentially the same thing, and that's a redundancy I'd prefer also not to deal with...even at the cost of a few more $$. And who's to say that the applications won't be affected by a difference in the EMM?

Thanks. I was trying to avoid sounding like a commercial, but due to popular demand: The list price is given as 58,000Yen, which at yesterday's exchange rates is about $450US. The power consumption is given as 50mA max for the memory card (with the modem powered off, there's a program provided to turn power on/off) and 170mA max for the modem and memory. I know HP lists the max power at 150mA, but I have had no trouble with it. In fact I had more trouble with another modem that was listed at 160mA, that card is now 'permanently' installed in a Libretto. I really can't comment on battery life, I change my batteries (Rayovac Renewal brand rechargeable alkalines) about every two months. But then, I have AC adaptors at my desk in the office and at my desk at home. And if I'm near a phone line, I'm usually near a power outlet. Also, this is not my 'primary' card. I have a 40M flash card that contains most of my software, and this card is the one in the machine most of the time. The 20M combo contains all of my telecom software, including various fax software.

What I want is to transmit modulated data using the UART. I have a modulated receiver for 56KHz, and according to the developer's manual, the IR port can be set up to transmit modulated data using the UART 16x clock as modulation source. What I do is: 1- Use the BIOS to select IR communication. I let bios deal with powering on the IR and such things. 2- I program directly the IRFMT and IRCNT Hornet registers (BIOS doesn't provice methods to do this). I program the IRCNT register to all zeros, and enable the IRURT and MDSEL bits in the IRFMT register. UART is configured for 3600 bps (x16 clock = 57600). This should transmit the UART data with single pulse transmission, which is NOT what I need. Well, It works somehow, but random bits are transmitted when I send bytes to the UART. Then, if I enable the PMOD bit in the IRFMT register, which should turn the IR into pulse train transmission mode which IS what I need. And strange things happen: As soon as I enable that bit, the receiver output gets stuck to 0. This means that the IR led is transmitting a continuous 57.6 KHz pulse train. But why ?... I still haven't sent ANY data to the UART, and according to the developer's guide, UART output is '1' and that should leave modulation OFF. But after one or two seconds of this behaviour, a transient of strange pulses can be seen (I still haven't sent ANY data to the UART, just enabled the PMOD bit) and then transmission is disabled. The only explanation I can find to the last is that there's some circuitry to protect the LED driver from overload, and it disables the LED if it's ON too much time (or it's modulating at 50% too much time). But still don't know why the transmission gets activated with this configuration: IRFMT (Hornet register index 10h) = 00011100b (IRURT, MDSEL and PMOD enabled) IRCNT (Hornet register index 11h) = 00000000b Any clues ? Thanks. 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: Fri, 12 Dec 1997 11:01:00 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Steindorf, Eric" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Steindorf, Eric" Subject: Re: DBLSPACE?

Good points Al. Additionally, I have noticed a few posts recently where the quoted material uses no quote character, which makes it very difficult to decipher the quoted material from the reply.

I think many of us believe it is an "unnatural degression" or something t= o that effect? Very few of us are interested at the moment and with a spare= 200LX, we do not have to be interested for some considerable time.

I know I'm picking a nit here, but.... if you have access to email, you do indeed have Internet access. Many people new to the online world seem to equate the www to the Internet, or being "online". The truth is that the www is just one service running on the Internet, and IMO, not even the most important one. 5 or 6 years ago there was no www, but there definitely was an Internet and many of us had Internet access. You can always retrieve files and web pages via email. (Sorry but as someone who offers Internet access but does not offer www access, I couldn't keep quiet. ) Back to your question now, the only suggestion I have is to check out guesswork.com to see how they are doing it, as they sell a palmtop/nic card/ network analyzer package. I know Desqview/x supports DOS based networking and server services, but I know that won't run on a 100/200LX.

I will tell you one reason - it is certainly true for me. Jealousy, plain and simple. Here we have GREAT palmtops, with loads of features, advanced screens and interfaces, and they don't run anything we want to run! A low-power 386-compatible chip in a chassis like this would be SO welcome. I saw a 360LX the other day - the screen is AWESOME! And I like the whole stylus thing much more than I thought I would when I first saw the 300LX. HP can really put out a great product. And we are put out that they are not targeting the same market that made their initial palmtops - the 95, 100, and 200LX - a very successful venture. I am encouraged by IBM's PC 110, with a 486 chip in it. When (oh, please, let it be soon) it is available in the US I WILL BUY ONE. I think it is a much more logical successor to the 200LX than the 300 series is. Though it is pretty chunky, it has the functionality I want. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 12 Dec 1997 18:43:43 -0700 Reply-To: "bryan@onyxgfx.com" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bryan Pearson Organization: Onyx Graphics Subject: EasyShare MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cameron http://www.adisoft-inc.com is the web site you want.

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Has anyone ever had problems with their power sockets on an HP200LX? I have to twist and turn and replug the power cord to have it stay powered on consistantly. I no longer have warranty on the machine and if I returned it to HP they would remove my much required and apreciated memory and speed upgrades. I have not been able to disassemble the machine. I tried and after removing all of the screws, it still would not come appart. Is there some trick to taking it appart? Also does anyone know if HP sells parts for these things besides the replacement part kit? Hopefully the power socket is a seperate part and not part of the motherboard.

They said visit their web site. and you can download on one 3.5 inch disk their complete rtos with windowing system, html browser, embedded web server, TCP/IP, internet dialer, and so on. I downloaded this and I am really amazed that they really do provide all of that and on a single floppy. Of course, it is heavily compressed. They are selling to embedded systems. However, their disk requires a 386 processor and VGA display. In a sense, this sounds like a commercial version of Linux. This seems like an offer of an alternative to MS that is almost too good to be true. The only thing that bothers me is that I have not yet found a pointing device that I really like, and, using a windowing system intended for a mouse without the mouse is too painful to endure. I would certainly be interested in hearing other peoples comments.

I am a heavy user of their > assembler, C and Pascal. So, Jorgen. You may be the right person whom I can put the following question. I stay always under DOS and almost never start SysMgr either. I use a command-line editing TSR called WCED which support tcsh-like filename-completion ... etc. (instead of DOSKEY). I'm quite satified. Now that I use vi as my primary editor. I'd like to change the codes of vi (calvin), so that I filename-completion of WCED works while it tries e.g. to read external files. I've noticed that within DEBUG and GNUPLOT, the filename- completion still works, but not within KERMIT, .... What I'd like to know is: what's the difference? I mean which function should one use, so that the filename-completion of WCED or DOSKEY works? Probably not fgets() ...? Which function? or DOS/BIOS-service should I use to get command-line? Or how do GNUPLOT and DEBUG get thier command-line input string while a prompt is displayed? Any info will be appreciated. I think such topic would be too technical for the list... ? regards Rudi -------------------------------------------- ***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, 13 Dec 1997 09:24:41 -0600 Reply-To: biggers@globaldialog.com Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: B Biggers Subject: Re: 320LX Comments: To: Brendan Macmillan MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have to agree. I own both machines (someone stop me!). I have a speed enhanced 5MB HP200, and a Compaq Companion that I got at the $99 sale at Office Depot. I find that each has its strong points. If an upgraded HP200 were available with the keyboard and backlight and faster processor of the WinCE machine I wouldn't even have been tempted by the $99 price. As it is, I still use my HP200 every day. The WinCE machine is sitting on a shelf upstairs, I've been using it to surf the net late at night; it is good at that. If I had to throw out one machine, it would be the Compaq because I have to run some DOS communications software for my business on the HP that is NEVER going to be ported to Windows. I like the flexibility of the HP200; I can get software for it to do just about anything. Not so with WinCE. The programs that are available for the WinCE machine are slick though, and fun to use. I don't see anything wrong with walking the line between the two machines because they are really totally different. After having a WinCE machine I can see that it has it's strong points, but that it isn't going to replace my HP200. -Bryan Brendan Macmillan wrote: > > > bravo helmut. it's really high time for all the ce bitching to stop. > Yes > > > i can't understand why 200LX users can't nicely co-exist with 320LX > Yes > > > it's just a natural progression in the hp palmtop evolution. > But I can't agree here: similar size, similar company; but more like > parallel evolution.

I believe the web page mentioned that the emulation was something like a 10 mhz XT....not much faster than a plain 200LX and slower than a 2x LX. But if the guy's claim is legit (and to me this is still a big IF), we should keep in mind that this appears to be a one-man show, written in a few months....and this is the first cut. Faster and better emulators may follow if the first was that easy to write. Maybe we'll eventually find Linux booting on a WinCE and then wouldn't that gladden our hearts ....

An extra tip I just figured out the other day: Superglue does not attack scotch tape. So I put scotch tape over the crack, then cut a slit along the crack. Then, as hulut did, I used a needle to get the glue in the crack. However, the scotch tape prevented the outside of the case from melting from excess glue. It was very effective.

Comments: To: Phil Drummond In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Phil, For the HP 100 or 200LX you can use either MINUET from the University of Minn. or NETTAMER which is a program written specifically for the HP LX palmtop. You Nettamer uses PPP (Point to Point Protocol) to connect, and Minuet uses SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) to connect but I think it also is possible to use a program called etherppp.exe to make a PPP connection with Minuet. I have not as yet tried that combination of software. I have tried Nettamer to connect my HP 200LX to the University network here. I hope this helps. Good luck in your endeavors.

Winiecki" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Donald J. Winiecki" Subject: Greetings list members, Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Greetings list members, I am working to document the many uses of handheld and palmtop computers. My interest spans the many different models and makes (e.g., all varieties of HP*LX, Newton, Psion, Pilot, etc.) and I am sending similar requests to lists representing each particular device. In the present case, I'm focusing on the HP95LX through HP200LX. I could be happy with the uses documented in the user-manuals of each machine (and my relatively new 200LX manual is surprisingly worn!), but I'm particularly interested in your own ingenuity and "non-standard" uses. With that in mind, I would like to make a request to members of this list. Please send me an E-mail and respond to the following questions: 1. What were the _intended_ uses of your machine, when you bought it? 2. How well did the machine fulfill those intended uses? 3. What else have you discovered could be done with your machine, that assists you? 4. How did you learn about those new things? Of course, I'm also very curious to hear your anecdotes, horror-stories, etc. To reduce the potentially distracting bandwidth to this list, please respond to me directly. I will compile a publicly accessible Internet listing of my findings. This listing will report data from all of my queries to users of each different type of device. Finally, if a similar resource already exists, please point me in that direction -- there is no need to repeat this job if it has already been done.

PRESENT SURVEY INTERPRETATION: -The possibility of a crack appears similar to all serial numbers (without HP production figures for each weekly batch) -the posibility of a crack is not related to left or right handed opening or closing -The probability of a crack is less with older and more with newer -some 7** numbered cracked very early in their life -Hinge friction rating is more relevent than serial number (newer models with tighter hinge had more problems) There are about 250 who have passed through this list since the crack survey who are yet to respond although I believe most will be a NO I am not the original surveyor and as you saw from the last survey its better discussed in the list so we can all keep track of it. cheers John Team HP200LX NZ 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: Sun, 14 Dec 1997 18:40:08 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Tony Jacobs Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Tony Jacobs Subject: Hinge crack Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hi all, It was mentioned we could get together to complain to HP about this, and then up pops Helmut at HP Corado Springs to say that he had the same problem and solved it with a spot of superglue. When mine went, it was a few months old, I called HP Palmtop Support here in the UK, and they sent me a new one (with no serial number) by return of post. I was able to download my files by IR port, and sent the old one back. The serial number of the old one is handwritten on a sticker inside the battery compartment.

I calculated the space requirements of some folders I wanted to place on an uncompressed 8mb exp lxm flashcard and concluded that I'd have 2.1mb of free space when i loaded everything. To my surprise after loading the drive there was only 1.4mb of free space! Double checked the arithmetic and sure enough I *should* have had 2.1 - that meant that dos 'ate' over 700k due to the 4k clusters on this drive! Wow... that is a lot to give away when pc card real estate prices per mb is still very high (especially on this card). Does anyone know of a utility to reduce the amount of 'slack space' on this flashcard? I tried the 1kcluster program on super but it doesn't work because the exp apparently does not keep two copies of the file allocation table...

My first guess is that it would not work as well because epoxies will fill the crack. Superglue bonds the two halves of the crack directly, thereby restoring it to (close to) it's original form. If the epoxy fills the space inside the crack, the two pieces of plastic are being forced apart, adding more stress. It may be possible to carve away some of the plastic then fill in the larger area, so the two pieces are not stressed.

Has anyone considered writing an e2fs driver for DOS? e2fs would work better than FAT on flash cards because of its distributed allocation table. The card would wear more evenly, thus making it last longer. I did this with a hard drive: the FAT area wore out, so I put it in my Linux box and formatted it e2fs and it runs just fine, because e2fs doesn't have to use the dead part. Just a thought. I have no idea how quickly or efficiently it would run on a 200. Ian Butler Advanced Software Systems, Inc.

Willem, there are several ways to run in DOS-mode on the LX and they can greatly vary in the amount of conventional memory available to your application. Your error message sounds like a low-memory problem. You can allocate more memory to DOS by using and changing the default memory for DOS (I think it's 90k). Also, you can try running your application from outside the AppMgr menu system (from icon screen: . This should leave you in plain DOS and with a larger memory space. There are several other options as well..

(This is not the cause of your problem, but it might solve other problems you get once you get the problem running.) This isn't a problem in plain DOS, since it defaults to on. The utility SERCTL can force the port on or off. SERCTL /O turns it off, while options /W and /I select wire and infrared, respectively. > The LX is supposed to behave very much like a PC-XT with a CGA display. > There appears to be very little written for that class of machines that > doesn't work on the LX, including a host of communication programs, so I > would have to think that COM1 compatibility is good...but I'll defer that > to the LX programmers in the group) > > > what about software written in QB45 on a HP200 > > I believe several people use this already on the LX (I'm not one), > including performing the code development and compiles on the LX.

I use Quicken Dos6 on the 200lx and it works fine & prints ok -Reconcile takes a long time / data entry is quick I use NetTamer V108pt (on EXP modem ram) and it is excellent for email & newsgroups. If you NEED to web browse you may prefer WWW/LX at about 3x the price. You may want to "Stack" or "Jam" your 2M card to get 4Megs.

My current ideas are: - newsgroup digest reader (yes, there is one already, but let's face it, it sucks) - encryption system (maybe one that uses the UN*X password generator to make keys? I don't know much about encryption.) - 48G emulator (very hard, I'm not at all sure I could do it, but I'll look at some emulator sources) - Pop up calculator - this one would be nice. I think the HP Calc is icky, and it's a seperate application. Just a straight 4-level RPN would suffice. Other ideas? I'm open to suggestions. In the meantime, I'll study up on MoonRock, a new BASIC compiler I found.

But what if it was just the Microsoft *implementation* of WinCE that makes it so slow? Perhaps by writing it properly, it would run *faster* on a hp200lx. Now that would turn some heads!

It's pretty straight-forward, if you stay with post-fix; but has the advantage that you can add your own functions that you use often - that's log2() and adaptive compression for me. Say if anyone wants the source, so they can add their own functions - or maybe I could add some popular ones in, if the demand is there? > Other ideas? I'm open to suggestions.

Will a text search locate the text string *within* an individual window? Each location within the window, if there are more than one ocurrences? Or, will the text search locate only the individual windows containing the text string? 2. Is it possible to print a specified subset of the data fields in an IS form? 3. Once an IS form is set up, with data entered in a few windows, how difficult is it to add new fields? 4. Can one query specific data fields on an IS form? Usual Boolean search criteria? 5.

The language is also somewhat primitive (no nested parenthesiss for example). It does create tight code, however, and providing you have a proper assembler (I use an old version of tasm and tlink), it can optimize for the 186/286. Its functions for writing directly to the screen do not work on the 200LX, however, but then I prefer StdOut anyway...

It works fine for 3 weeks.The card suddenly lost all the content of drive F and the access to MODEM/FAX. I'm sending it back to EXP for replacement. I believe that the product is a nice device but I have had this bad experience to loose all the content (only programs) of drive F. I don't use Staker but use PKZIP instead. The MiniFax (from EXP) has limitations. I do prefer the QFAX - QuickStar Fax 1.10 with possibilities of 2 size of Fonts, spacing/size adjustment and the insertion of PCX images in the body of text ( like signature, logo, etc). It has also devices to access an data file for FAX numbers and automated multiple fax. I'm trying to register QFAX but the owner doesn't answer and the version I have has limited capabilities.

Two things: They are getting out of the HP business completely, and the HP business was their only business. So, they're closing. It's a sad story, really, for anyone who's done business with them. I'll retype here what Joseph Horn of HP48 fame had to say about it. For those that haven't dealt with EduCALC, Jim Carter is the big cheese and Richard Nelson is an outstanding tech - very nice, very knowledgeable. I've dealt with Richard, and it's really too bad that he's losing his job. ---------- From: Joseph K. Horn Subject: EduCALC 1976-1997, R.I.P. Date: Sun, 23 Nov 1997 19:12:49 -0600 Newsgroups: comp.sys.hp48 ANNOUNCEMENT: EduCALC PULLS OUT OF THE HP BUSINESS ================================================== Sad to tell, the end of 1997 will also see EduCALC close its doors for good. After serving the HP Handheld user community so well for 21 years, EduCALC is folding its tents and going out of business... at least, out of the business of being the world's largest outlet of HP calculators and related products. On December 31, 1997, Jim Carter will lock the door of their famous warehouse and showroom on Cabot Road in Laguna Niguel, California, and drive away for the last time. It will be totally empty, and the EduCALC signs will have been taken down. EduCALC is *not* in bankruptcy, and Jim Carter has made it clear that he's closing the business down "cleanly" with all shipments due being shipped, all payments due being paid, and all accounts receivable *hopefully* being received. The big "parking lot sale" during the past two days was held to help clear out the warehouse. It's pretty empty now. The reasons for EduCALC's demise are many, and I hope that they tell the whole story some day (hopefully Richard Nelson or Jim Carter.) In a nutshell, Hewlett-Packard did EXACTLy the same thing that Commodore did to the Amiga. After getting so many dealers to carry HP calculators, HP then screwed their own dealers by selling calculators at brainless mega-stores like Office Depot. The dealers simply could not match the profit margin of these mega-stores, and they either dumped HP and went into other products lines, or went out of business. In the heydey of HP calculator sales, 1 out of every 4 phone calls to EduCALC were sales-related. Recently that ratio had dropped to 1 out of 20! To add insult to injury, EduCALC was getting more and more calls that went like this: Caller: Can you tell me the difference between the HP 48G and GX? EduCALC: Sure! Ýdetailed explanation snipped¨ Caller: Thanks; it sounds like I'd rather buy the GX then. EduCALC: Good choice. Would you like to order it now? Caller: Oh, I'm not buying it from *you*, I'm going to get it here at Ýname of brainless store snipped¨ EduCALC: What?? Caller: Yeah, their price is lower, but they didn't know anything about it, so they called HP, and HP said to call EduCALC, so you answered my question, thank you very much, and now I can buy it cheaper from somebody else. *click* On top of this, HP Corporate has gotten too big and stupid for its own good. Their engineers are the greatest bunch of men and women anywhere, but HP Corporate is a pack of incompetent fools. Proof: They predict how many palmtops (or whatever) will probably sell in the next few months, and they make that many, and then STOP PRODUCTION ENTIRELY. Last year EduCALC got a huge backorder for palmtops, and HP told them "Sorry, we're not making any more palmtops until next Janurary." What kind of idiocy is that??? Believe it or not, HP even told Jim Carter that the way to avoid that problem this year was not to sell any palmtops during December. WHAT?!?!?! EduCALC depended on the back-to-school rush and the Christmas rush for survival! Hewlett-Packard is making all of Commodore's stupid mistakes, all over again. Sheesh. Sooner or later you'll hear that EduCALC was also hurt deeply by the embezzlement of about a quarter million dollars of funds and products by a former employee. Although this may be true (the details will only be known for sure after the police investigation and legal red tape are taken care of), it's *possible* that EduCALC would have survived that problem if it hadn't been for the other problems mentioned above. Then again, $250,000 was not pocket change for EduCALC, which struggled to keep about water on the smallest possible profic margin. In any case, it didn't help. I am personally saddened because Richard Nelson will lose his job there in two weeks. He's hosted the weekly HP48 Programming Class which will now end; he's been the prime mover and shaker of the Souther California Chapter of PPC (the original and oldest HP calculator group) which will now probably evaporate. He told me that he's looking into moving to Northern California to go back into teaching, and I wish him luck, but ... he's been my friend for 21 years, and it really bums me out to have to say goodbye because HP Corporate is so freaking STUPID. Enough rambling. Goodbye, EduCALC. It was fun. I'll miss you. A *lot*. PS: If you call EduCALC, remember a few things: they have only a few people left; they have very little stock left; they are VERY eager to sell the remaining stock at almost ANY price; and do it SOON! Their famour 30-day return policy, of course, is no longer offered. All sales are final. They're in mop-up mode now. -Joseph K. Horn- joehorn@usa.net Disclaimer: I didn't work for EduCALC. ------- 10 minutes later, Ian discards the hard copy of the above document in favor of returning you to your normal programming. My parents had a craft store and the same thing happened, except for no embezzlement (that we know of) occurred. They had a huge selection of products, and the mall kept raising the lease, and Wal-Mart came in across the parking lot, with a smaller selection of cheaper stuff. We told them what they needed, they went over to Wal-Mart and got it. It's an evil world, people. Ian Butler Advanced Software Systems, Inc.

Now back to the well again. I run a cadd program (gen cadd 6.1) which is a dos program that I purchased from autodesk (they bought it from programmers, it was in competition with autocad) and now they no longer support it (imagine that!). My problem is it won't run on the palmtop and it should. I can run gen cadd on any other machine from 286 to pentium. I have it set to cga with low memory requirements. I keep getting error message of "incorrect version of gcadd.ovr" (an overlay file). I did notice that transfile for windows changes the date when you copy files. I don't know why, but it does. Some of the cadd files (including the gcadd.ovr file is date 9/19/94, so I get the idea of changing the system date to make sure the file has this date when I run cadd.exe, but no luck, same problem. I realize this is not a cadd forum, but the only place gen cadd is discussed is on compuservere (I think) and I don't have access. Any help or ideas would greatly appreciated. Being able to use this program in the field would greatly extend the capablility of my 200lx. Thanks in Advance.

Not on my 100lx or 2 200lx's YES I have the same problems with my LX100.In the mean time I believe that I got an idea what is happening. I have installed ABCLX in order to find out why the battery did not wanted to stay on charging.I found out that from time to time the voltage very fast (2 to 5 minutes) reached a high value (passing the maximum I found for my batteries of 2,92 volts) and than just give a battery error or stopped charging.In the beginning I thought that it was the contact of the HP (original) loader but after working on that no improvements were found. In the mean time I tend to believe that the HP LX just thinks due to the behavior of the battery and it contacts, there must be a normal battery in the compartment. -I have really no idea how the Palmtop would know the difference between both but I am sure there is somebody out there who could explain -. Next thing to do for me will be to clean all connections from the palmtop. There must be some corrosion inside which causes these regular shut offs.

Additionally I found that my Palmtop some times just hard booted after a some rougher handling, thereby loosing everything which was not saved up to then.

It is a Fax Class 1 modem, which is different from the Megahertz X-Jack modems which are Class 2. I really would like to use QFAX, which is simple, small, and easy to use (it seems), but I haven't been able to get it to work with QFAX.

If you want to use a single cable from the LX to the converter, you might try to snag one of the Build it yourself cables Educalc sells with an LX connector on one end -you add whatever connector you want on the other end (I understand they are going out of business so it may be too late for this option).

It's a cable with a "connector for the serial port of the palmtop on one end and a standard Centronics connector that plugs directly into the parralel port of a printer on the other end. The serial/parallel interface is contained in the housing of the connector. Requires no batteries and no external power supply. Works with almost all printer models."

Here is an example, although it is probably not that hard to figure out. Suppose I wanted to add QuickBasic to the SysMgr, but I wanted it to have it's own icon and wanted it to use MaxDos so that it got all the memory availiable. Obviously I could create an icon named maxdos.icn, but this would give problems if I were to add more programs using MaxDos. What I do is create a zero length com file called qb.com that refers to maxdos.com. In the sysmgr I then add the newly created .com file qb.com with the path/commandline "c:\icons\qb.com -d c:\qb qb.exe" This tells MaxDos to start qb, but the SysMgr thinks it is qb it is starting! (Icons is the directory where I keep all my icons and zero-length .com files) Obviously you can use a menu program such as HDM (which I also use). There are, however, a few programs that I like to start without going through another menu, and Link/LN serves this purpose. The only thing about Link/LN that bothers me is that LN.EXE, the program you use to add/view links is slow. Oh, and I believe the program is freeware/cardware (for private use), not shareware.

I run interlnk all the time at work, usually accessing drives A: and C: on the LX from the Windows 95 Explorer on my desktop using a serial connection. To my desktop, they look like drives F: and G:. If you have DOS 6.x, you have interlnk. The instructions are there if you do a "help interlnk.exe" from the DOS prompt. I think the "how-tos" on using Laplink to do likewise are detailed in one of the FAQs at the website on the tagline for this list group. - 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, 18 Dec 1997 23:55:38 PST Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ian Butler Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ian Butler Subject: Re: Using Floppy Drives Remotly Comments: To: Phil Godden In-Reply-To: <199712182258_MC2-2C7D-1A16@compuserve.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"; X-MAPIextension=".TXT" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit : I remember an old program called Brooklyn Bridge that allowed one PC to use : another PCs drives over a serrial cable. Anyone using anything like that : now or know where to find it? Don't know where you'd find that old dog. But, if you have DOS 6.22 - and who doesn't - you can use a pair of programs called Interlnk and Intersvr to make one computer's drives "network" drives on the other computer. Intersvr is usu. run on your big computer, and you put Interlnk in CONFIG.SYS on your palmtop. I'm in a HOWTO mood, maybe I'll make one for using Interlnk as a file sync/copy tool.

I've been using this program to determine roughly how efficiently XTCE is running on a particular machine... On a Pentium MMX and Pentium II (under Windows CE emulation), XTCE scores 1/10th of the benchmark result that the Windows CE version gets. On a Velo, XTCE scores 1/30th of the benchmark result that the Windows CE version gets. On an HP320, XTCE scores 1/40th of the benchmark result that the Windows CE version gets. On an HP360, XTCE scores 1/30th of the benchmark result that the Windows CE version gets. . . .

For anyone using a recent version of MS-DOS should have on their computer a program called "intersvr". With this program, the HP serial cable and a 'null modem' you can make any other computer act as a remote to the first computer. By the way, I have not tried this yet on the HP200LX but I use it frequently to transfer files that are too big for the sneaker net. The other is the well known laplink program. With either of these you can transfer files from one computer to another. There is a third alternative that I frequently use. That is, I take the memory card from the HP and put it in the PCMCIA slot in the laptop and copy files either direction.

I bought DR-DOS 6.0 many years ago and used it on all of my computers. Later I added devices that were not DR-DOS compatible and the DR-DOS had to go. Anyway, the filelink program first appeared with DR-DOS 6.0 and I used it to my advantage for years. However, MS put something in their later OS's that made filelink incompatible with their OS and also their programs not work if the other computer had another OS besides MS. I felt and still do that MS has deprived me of legitimate use of software that I owned by this sort of dealing.

It's good to have some benchmark results, but in the end, I think it's the result that counts. I mean that if you want to have a REDRAW of a complex CAD drawing- how long time will it take to get it on a Win CE machine, HP 200LX and on Desktop with 200 MHz MMX 64MB SDRAM and the latest Windows version of Acad??? It depends of course on the type of drawing. But my EasyCAD on my HP 200LX is often faster than any Pentium machine with the latest version of Acad. It's not easy to check which machine is the fastest, but for me is the result that counts!

Following on from this suggestion, I have found an alternative method whi= ch allows the user to select any icon for an application as follows: When installing an application in SysMgr, the user is only provided a choice of three standard icons, or an icon of the same name as the progra= m being installed (if one exists in the same directory as the application being installed).

The icon remains at the original icon. For example: 1) Create a directory called ICONS in which you place all your icons and for each icon a matching empty batch file of the same name with the .BAT extension 2) Enter Add application mode in SysMgr 3) Set path to point the the batch file having the same name as the icon you wish to use 4) Select custom icon required 5) Reset path to the actual program you want to load - can be a MaxDos ty= pe command line 6) Exit Add application mode and SysMgr will show the custom icon 7) The dummy *.BAT can then be removed if required. I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug but it is useful.

It is not suprising that AutoCAD in some VGA or higher resolution is slower than a similar but simpler program running in a much lower resolution.

If you don't remember me, I'm the one that submitted FingerPaint to SUPER, and also that cuted little game, rogue. Anyway, I own a copy of Software Carousal for the palmtop, but my palmtop died a horrible death, and I lost the disk. Would anybody kind enough to email me the disk? I'm not asking to pirate software, I can show proof of ownership, SC user manual, registeration card, etc. If anybody wants, I can fax to him/her the registeration card of SC, or put a photo of it on the web. Well, how did my palmtop died? Here's my story... About a year ago, my poor 200LX got crushed between the door frame of a friend's car, the screen broke, but the little thing went on working. Heart broken, I sold the remains of 200LX to someone on the net for parts for $75. Since then, I went through the USR Pilot, then the Psion series 5, and now finally I traded the Psion for a 200LX. Nothing beats the little palmtop pc. So, anyone take pity on me and email me a copy? I'll gladly show proof of ownership. Thanks, and happy holidays.

If you decide to give T a try the following screen colors are what I used when configuring the editor for my HP200LX. color data lines = white on black color mark lines = black on white color show lines = white on black color shadow cursor = black on white color command line = black on white color status line = white on black color help line = white on black color message line = white on black T can do automatic line wrap at a margin you specify. It can reflow lines. It has search and replace commands. It has line and blocks of lines, copy and move (and delete). ..,and many other functions. I am sure there are many more powerful editors out there, you probably are using one already, but I doubt they are as small as T. T is also good for that emergency diskette you keep near your desktop for recovery when the pc crashes. 10k on a diskette leaves a lot of room for other tools you may also need. Happy Holidays!

I recently bought a Silicom ethernet card without knowing that it didn't work in the 2x 200LX. Silicom didn't seem to care. So I wondered what would happen if I hooked up BOTH crystals, the 1x and the 2x, and switched between them while the machine was on-- kind of like the Turbo switch on a desktop. Well, unfortunately, in the process of rigging it up, I damaged SOMETHING on the motherboard, because when I was done, there were vertical columns of pixels missing approximately every 8 pixels all the way across the screen. The ribbon cable was fine, the white video connector seems fine, but those pixels just wouln't come back. I tried every possible combination, and have come to the conclusion that it must be something on the board itself. Mack Baggette, great guy that he is, was up until 2:30 in the morning mailing me back and forth about it. Anyway, despite this tragedy, I somehow worked through the blinding stream of tears :) and continued on with the experiment. Well, to make it short, it seemed to work. I could switch the crystals back and forth, and the only noticeable effect was the screen would shift over slightly when the 2x crystal was on, and it would shift back with the normal crystal. (I didn't have the speed driver loaded-- if I had, it probably would've been normal for the 2x and have had a "strobe" effect for the 1x.) Anyway, I'm now doing a couple more experiments before I ship this baby off to Times2Tech on Monday. So my questions are: 1) Does anybody know what could cause every eighth pixel to be missing? 2) Does anybody have a 200LX 2MB for sale? 3) Can anybody think of a good place to store two crystals inside the 200LX and a place to put the switch on the outside? Bear in mind, the area immediately to the left of the PCMCIA socket has already been used by a speaker jack. -- 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, 20 Dec 1997 15:04:36 -0800 Reply-To: rtatham@ibm.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stagger Lee Subject: source for dos software found MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Today I found the Cyber Exchange at 7344 Kenwood Road Cincinnati, Ohio ph 513-794-4488 email cyber@choice.net Dave Appleby runs it.

Other than a small part of WinCE that's actually hardware dependent, the whole OS is actually recompiled to run NATIVELY on the pentium. Likewise during software development for WinCE, the programs are compiled into x86 opcodes to run on the PC. When the program is ready, it is then that a cross-compiler is used that compiles to the target platform opcode. Nothing is emulated. (Only the WinCE api is layered on top of the Win32 api on the PC.) Yi BTW, doesn't anyone have Software Carousal?

If you are going to use a program to benchmark a system for speed comparisons you have to make the systems as similar as possible for a reasonable result. Otherwise the results are totally meaningless. I can always say that my 11 year old honda can beat a brand new corvette in a race any day any time, as long as the corvette is pulling a 10000 pound trailer, but of course that doesn't mean anything.

The first phase is transferring word processing documents. I'd like to have it (optionally) convert MEMO .doc files to .rtf for use in WordPerfect, Applixware, etc. I have a package called rtfmemo.zip which has two apps, MEMO2RTF and RTF2MEMO, along with source. First, does anyone know who wrote this? There's no attribution in the source, no READMEs, etc... Second, I'm having trouble with the RTF2MEMO code, as it has some _asm{} blocks that I assume are x86 assembly code. While I'm using i386 Linux and might be able to convert the C to get it to run here, I'd prefer to make something that is not CPU-specific. After all, there are some Sparc Solaris folks using LXFileman. Briefly, here's the three _asm chunks: _asm{ mov al,bufferÝ0¨ ; get the first character shl al,1 ; shift it left 4 places shl al,1 shl al,1 shl al,1 add al,bufferÝ1¨ ; or in the second character mov bufferÝ0¨,al ; save character in bufferÝ0¨ } _asm{mov al,0}; _asm{ mov ds:Ýdi¨,al}; Any help would be most appreciated.

This must be one of the most important issues to a lot of people in these memory-hungry times. In fact our Group in Australia/New Zealand is currently canvassing this very issue, not only to find a satisfactory card but perhaps to reap the benefits of bulk buying. We are interested in the higher end of the storage capacity range, some of us wishing to double the capacity using Stacker or equivalent. Although we have not got a definitive or exhaustive answer and still await some information, it looks on paper (or should that be disk?) as if the best buys in terms of reliable make combined with low prices are:- Simple Technology, 40Mb..$286 Vicing Components, 32Mb..$289 However, even with these cards there are still some points to be clarified, if any of you can help. For instance, there have been suggestions that the Simple Technology cards are not compatible with Stacker. There have also been warnings that the LX Palmtops cannot handle storage cards above 80Mb and that speed of information transfer is reduced. Obviously there could be many permutations in trying to compromise, for it is certainly that. I have been perfectly satisfied with my Sandisk 4Mb ATA card which I use on my 100LX (with Double Speed) in conjunction with Stacker to get to nearly 8Mb. I have observed no difference in speed of information transfer to and from the card as compared to the C: drive and it is just as easy to write directly to it. When transferring the card to my new 200LX8Mb Double Speed the install file was immediately presented on the A=E: drive and simply by highlighting it and pressing ENTER the decompressed files appeared literally in a flash! However, such cards are at the more expensive end of the market and this counts when ranging up to 40Mb. What we really need is some sort of "Consumers' Guide" organisation to investigate such cards. Short of that, it is in our own interests to pool information.

How big is this driver? That's right but the driver you need is in the 200lx's rom (cic100) and this sets up the slot as com2 - which is what the modem uses. The driver uses 6.912k of conventional mem when installed. NB: If you use this card w/maxdos or carousel you should ensure to have cic100 loaded at all times or in each work area even if the modem isn't used in that area to avoid enexpected problems with the flash memory. gc> 3.

A single page of text (ie: a fax coversheet) will soak up 48~52k. However the software is very reliable (most of the time ) and i use it to successfully receive faxes all the time - got a 17-pager from halfway around the world just the other day without a problem on any of the pages! As i recall that mfx file was almost 1mb in size... Viewing received faxes is a breeze (especially with minifax's great fax log) however the faxes cannot be scaled to fit the width of the lx's screen and you must pan left and right as well as up and down to view each page. Tedious with a 17-pager but you can send the fax to a nearby fax machine or printer if you desire. Images of an outgoing fax can be retained if desired but these are removed by default but it is possible to preview an outgoing fax before it is sent by retaining the image. gc> Is there any other sources for the modem that gc> anyone can suggest?

Oops... forgot the best part: yes, the fax receive path is user selectable and it can most definitely be the flash portion of the card (which is designated drive F:). Also worthy of note is the fact that if you choose to fax an ascii file that resides on your c: drive then you must also have about 50k free for each page of the fax because the temp fax image is stored where the file resides! This can be avoided by moving the file to be faxed to your f: drive or another drive with sufficient free space. MinFax will fax only ascii and memo-formatted files - sorry, no pcx or bitmap images so including your signature is not possible.

A local used parts vendor has offered me $100 per card. I would prefer that they go to a fellow palmtopper so if anyone is interested they can have them at the same price. Both are working fine. I also have a 128kb HP SRAM card from my 95LX days. The battery is dead but if there is a 512k-95LX'er it would make a little extra space for you.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT I'm hoping someone might know the answer to this (or at least be in the market for a flash card :-) ) I just got a flash card that I purchased from a private party. I thought I had followed the common wisdom on what does/doesn't work but... The card is a Simple Technologies 20 meg ATA flash. When I insert the card, the 100lx does not recognize it. When I attempt to write to it, the HP says A: is not ready or available. When I try to format it, it tells me the format is not supported. So, is there a way to use this card in the 100lx? Does it work in the 200lx ? I thought I had seen info on using ATA cards in these. If there's no way to make this work, best offer gets it. It is by the way brand new with all packaging and warranty.

I've had mixed results. For the most part, it worked well if the switch was changed while the machine was off, but sometimes it would result in a dark line across the screen, requiring a hard-reset. Occasionally (when I shorted crystal wires) a hard-reset would not work for several minutes. The Silicom ethernet card only works when the unit is in single-speed mode. If you load the drivers and access the network in single-speed mode, then switch over to 2x mode hoping to gain some performance, it won't work, as far as I could tell. Therefore, the only use I can think of would be to be able to use the machine in single-speed mode while on the network and in 2x mode the rest of the time. There might be some other programs that require a single-speed unit, but I'm not aware of any. So, I'm back to my original question: can anybody think of a good place inside the 200LX to store both crystals, and a place on the outside of the case to install a switch to choose between them? -- 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: Mon, 22 Dec 1997 14:55:13 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Phil Drummond Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Phil Drummond Subject: Re: A little experiment Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have seen a technique used to switch between two antennas at a very high clock speed ( <140mhz) using varactor (sp) diodes and AND gates. The AND gates are used to "find" the zero crossing point in the sign wave of the running antenna's signal (could be a crystal in this case) and "hold-off" the switch until the zero voltage point. You still need a toggle switch to direct the switch operation (or I guess if you got real busy, you could decode an address for this). I have only seen/heard of this technique, and there is no way I have the skills to implement it, so please don't ask.

Perhaps like Windows 3.x, Windows CE 3.x will finally be a product people can put to good use. Unfortunately, HP has jumped on the Microsoft bandwagon and embraced the CE platform. But worse yet is to add insult to injury by abandoning the people who have made the palmtop products a viable market, the 95,100,200LX owners of the world. Well, I've gone on my rant. Happy holidays to all. P.S. Don't think from what I've written that I don't want to see 320LX postings. I love to hear about their tribulations. It just adds support to the arguement that HP made a mistake in partnering with Microsoft's WinCE platform. Keep those postings of WinCE shortcomings coming! And to all a happy new year! ======================================================================= Steve Christie http://student-www.uchicago.edu/users/schristi University of Chicago On Wed, 17 Dec 1997, Longden C.

TIA I'm afraid I have bad news for you: I experienced the same thing with my 100LX and two different ATA Flash cards I tried -- a Simple Technologies 8MB and a Viking 10MB. Both cards DO work in a 200LX, however. Although I can't find this mentioned in any FAQ, it seems that the only ATA Flash cards that work in 100LXs are those manufactured by Sandisk and sold under the labels Sandisk, Sundisk, HP, IBM and Epson. Can any 100LX users in the group confirm that they have been able to use ATA Flash cards other than those above? If so, what version/build date is your 100LX? (To find out your version, reboot and watch the opening screen. To find out your build date, look at your serial number on the bottom -- it's SGywwnnnnn where "y" is the last digit of the year and "ww" is the week. Mine is 1.01a, built in 1993, week 15.) By the way, I have a Maxtor LINEAR (non-ATA) Flash card that works fine in my 100LX, albeit slow, but I have to keep the TFF (True Flask File) device driver loaded in RAM to operate it.

I can confirm it! As with the Linear type cards a separate driver is some times needed for ATA and compact flash ( 100LX only).

He'll be stuck with the 2MB memory card. The 4MB 200LX has 2MB on the motherboard and a 2MB daughterboard. The 6MB or 8MB upgrade will replace the 2MB daughterboard with a 4MB card or a 6MB card (and a little more, in the case of the 8MB upgrade) resulting in a spare 2MB card. Same problem the owners of the early 2MB units faced-- 1MB on board and 1MB on card.

Harvey, I discovered and posted this trick on HPHAND lib on Compuserve two or three years ago, ICONSET.ZIP. The method is even more flexible. You start by entering the path for an icon, whereever it is! Does not have to be in same library as app or on an icons directory (though it is useful to group them). Then tab until you see the icon in the little window. Once it is there, then APPMGR.DAT contains the icon file. Tab back to the path, and enter the path for the application. Do NOT tab back to the icon window. Press F10 and you are set. You can even delete the icon from the disk, because a copy of it was already placed in the APPMGR.DAT. AFAIK it is not a bug, but not necessarily how they intended it. Nevertheless, as you know it works. Avi M.

I am one who passed Buddy over in the past because of the heavy penalty in memory for many features that I would not use. I tested Buddy several times for extended periods. I found two things about Buddy: 1. It is an incredibly well-written and smart application! 2. The feature set I tend to use is narrow, and therefore the memory price of Buddy too high for my particular needs. Everyone I recommended it to (over 30 people), has been raving about it!

First, MANUALLY subdivide his 10,000 books into 10 equal sized categories with 1,000 books in each. Second, store the records for the books in 10 separate databases, each within the capabilities of the HPLX database application.

It still takes a moment when you insert it to figure out what kind of card it is and allow access to the flash card. I've had several cards, all greater than 20 megs, and on the two that've died the first sign of impending doom was a much-inreased time between insertion and when the machine would respond to keys.

Buerg's LIST.COM can be used for reading. I downloaded it from Gutenberg. For those with plenty of space: Gutenberg has Webster in two formats: HTML (one big file!) and "home grown" codes. I have an AWK script that is quite successful (I have lost at least one line for some reason and have to assume there are problems in other places) in converting the special codes to ASCII: the end result is 28Mb. Webster comes with pronounciation codes which makes it difficult to search for a word: Ab"ba*cy (#), n.; pl. Abbacies (#). ÝL. abbatia, fr. abbas, abbatis, abbot. See Abbey.¨ The dignity, estate, or jurisdiction of an abbot. My AWK script will however insert a clean version of the word and put the original word in parentheses like this: Abbacy (Ab"ba*cy) (#), n.; pl. Abbacies (#). ÝL. abbatia, fr. abbas, abbatis, abbot. See =BBAbbey=AB.¨ The dignity, estate, or jurisdiction of an abbot. (my homemade browser use the ASCII 16 and 17 characters. This is easily changed in the script). Email me if interested. I expect one day to finish a C version (the AWK script is piped through a formatting filter taking an awful long time even on a Pentium Pro). I have finished the "fun" part and halfway lost interest as I am happy with the result. I will however give the project a priority if I can spot a huge interest (or at least try to find the error in the AWK script).

Keep in mind, though, that one of the chief drawbacks of NiMH batteries is that they discharge rapidly when not in use. You can charge them up, put them in a drawer, and a week later they're dead, even though they haven't been used.

I have a 2mb 100lx now and have purchsed a 200lx from Thaddeus Computing (so when one breaks and needs repair I can send the other and still work on a computer in the field). I have been using a HP 20MB card (stacked with Stacker 3.0 and Stacker 4.0 running on the main computer atmy office/home). I use a Thin Dard Drive from Data Book to upload and download to the 20MB card. This system has worked well for me. I inserted the 129 MB card in the 100 lx straight out of the box and it recognized it. I have stacked the card with Stacker 3.0 (using stacpalm) and the 100 LX recognizes the card. The card reader, however, doesn't. I get the infamous "not reading drive E: abort, retry, fail message. I did try formating the card while in the card drive and get a message "card not supported." Do I need to call Data Book? Pretec? Do I need a different driver? This is Friday night and I would like to take the time this weekend to get it running if I can. Anyone have any ideas. And, yes, so far, you can add Pretec and its 128 MB card to the list of cards that work... but I haven't given it a complete test run yet and don't have it actually working in the 100 lx.

PCMCIA Cards Q: What's the difference between flash memory and SRAM? A: SRAM is fast, expensive, requires battery back-up, doesn't take much power to use. Flash memory is cheaper per megabyte, available in larger sizes, will hold data forever without power, very slow for writing (on the order of the speed of a floppy disk), requires significant power for writing, and will eventually wear out when written to many times (though some flash cards have a lifetime guarantee, and nobody has yet posted that their flash card wore out). > 4MB SRAM Memory Card $288.00 > ¬¬¬¬ > 40MB ATA Flash Single Density $234.00 > ¬¬¬ ¬¬¬¬¬ ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ > Double Flash+ 40M $449.00 > ¬¬¬¬¬¬ ¬¬¬¬¬ So, SRAM is like primary internal memory; and FLASH is secondary storage. ...and ATA flash is Sundisk-style (whatever that means...) Hmmmm... I might guess that SINGLE and DOUBLE density are to do with built-in compression... but then why the price differential? ie $234.00 vs. $449.00?

There's quite a variation in the power consumption rates for various brands and my take on it was that while many modems will work, only a few are power-miserly enough to use on the LX with some abandon. I believe the card socket is rated to handle 150ma. My first 14.4 was the ATT Keep In Touch and it was rated around 165ma. It worked, but also drew a "low battery" warning and sucked the batteries dry FAST. My current modem is the MegaHertz XJ3144 which I had heard was about 130ma, and it runs for at least an hour on rechargeables with nary a complaint. The point is only that you should keep your eyes open for a low-power modem which is a solution in conjunction with finding good rechargeables. - 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: Fri, 26 Dec 1997 23:05:06 EST Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , CSchlim Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: CSchlim Organization: AOL (http://www.aol.com) Subject: Re: Merchanical Drafting Program Comments: To: anborg@ksts.seed.net.tw Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit In a message dated 97-12-26 22:15:52 EST, you write: << Having somewhat tamed Chinese on the HP200LX, I tried something additional over the holidays.

It was designed before protected mode became availiable (Plugin boards). For backwards compatibility, newer verisons of DOS include EMM386, which emulates EMM, using extended memory. > Q: Is there an EMS driver? > A: Yes, EMM100.EE, available on eddie.

I couldn't find this, but I presume it has been replaced with emm200 (found in /NEW) > I no nothing about EMS... does it enable you to run programs needing > more than 640K? Some programs, yes. Word Perfect for instance, uses the extra memory, as does Lotus 123 (DOS version). The built-in apps do not benefit from the extra memory, however. Unless a program states that it supports EMS, it will not benifit from it. Also, it will not allow you to run programs that require 286/386 protected mode programs (although you probably knew this already) If you use TSRs, you might be able to save a little conventional memory by loading some of the drivers into EMS. Stacker supports this for instance. EMS is not the same as High Memory on a new PC, though, since the driver specifically has to support EMS. (pretty much any driver can be loaded into High Mem on a modern PC) EMS is also faster than diskswapping, so any program that supports both (the ones that use diskswapping usually support ems as well) will be faster. MaxDos and DesqView are to such programs. There is another EMS driver, but it is not freeware and only availiale to Times2Tech costumers. AFAIK the freeware EMS driver doesn't work with 4MB upgraded units (and that's what I have boo hoo :-( (This should be correct, otherwise I'm sure I'll be corrected :-). I did try and find a computer glossary (using Yahoo!), but it wasn't helpful at all.)

Well, maybe not IN my HP95. The HP95 draws 200 ma when the serial port is on for multi-day datalogging. I clip a 4-cell D battery holder to the AA cell springs, and wire series/parallel. This arrangement will last about 4 days until the HP95 balks and turns off.

No, I checked the original. There are a few errors in the dictionary in the form of misspelled codes. I have not corrected these. I did not know that the Perl compiler was finished. My Linux and DOS versions are interpreters. Speed is not really an issue as the conversion is something you only do once in your lifetime. Anyhow: the codes in the dictionary are for typesetting and the script generally just zap them. The AWK script is therefore mainly a number of gsub()'s which simply replaces one string with another. Non-programmers will not have any difficulty in changing the script. It is called "The Gutenberg Webster's Unabridged Dictionary" (September 1996), is free of charge and can be found at www.gutenberg.com as pgwtwxxx.xxx, pgwsxxxx.xxx, pgwrxxxx.xxx, pgwpqxxx.xxx, pgwmoxxx.xxx, pgwilxxx.xxx, pgwfhxxx.xxx, pgwdexxx.xxx, pgwcxxxx.xxx, pgwabxxx.xxx in both zipped and text format. The AWK script grinds for about 20-25 mins per 2.5Mb on a Pentium Pro under DOS. Under Linux it would be much faster. There is also a single very large file (30-40Mb) which must be the HTML version. I know nothing about it. But, honestly, how many people need such a large dictionary in their shirt pocket (apart from English teachers and homeless people?)? Gutenberg's Roget Thesaurus or the American Heritage Dictionary must cover any normal needs! Now, Webster take up a rude amount of space.

From reading the directions with the upgrade, I got the impression that some motherboards don't have the connector installed at the factory and you have to solder it in yourself. Since my unit had the connector already, the installation took all of 10 min. and I love it. I stacked the C drive to 10 meg which leaves 9.3 meg for storage.

This is what I know about it: What we really need is some kind of compression library and a search/viewing utility. Then you could have a compressed version on your HP and it would unpack the relevant pages. This would work for other texts as well. (Obviously, compression wouldn't be as good as pkzip, because of speed limitations (It's got to be fast), but it would still be smaller than the uncompressed version.)

But Software Carousel works faster if configured with EMS than with a disk file. > I don't suppose you'd think that DesqView might be able to do proper > background execution, if it had this extra memory to play with? Probably not; Desqview also needs processing time to run things in the background. And besides that, Desqview eats up so much conventional memory (~150K or so) that it's hard to get much to run. The System Manager would load, but not with any TSR's loaded before it. Besides all this, Desqview doesn't work with the EMS the 200LX provides.

With regards to the connector: for the 2MB units, the older ones (from 1994 and 1995 and early 1996, I believe) have the connector already, with a board in it. This is because they have 1MB on the motherboard and a 1MB expansion card. The newer ones have 2MB on board and no expansion board connector. Thus, this must be soldered in before the 4MB board can be installed. The advantage here, of course, is that you won't lose a 1MB card, so you can go to 6MB instead of 5MB like the older 200LX's can. ALL 200LX models can be upgraded to 8MB, though. -- 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, 28 Dec 1997 10:00:55 +1100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Brendan Macmillan Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Brendan Macmillan Subject: Re: American Heritage definition plus and other dictionaries In-Reply-To: <199712271304_MC2-2D47-51C0@compuserve.com> from "Jorgen Dybdahl" at Dec 27, 97 01:03:23 pm MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > I did not know that the Perl compiler was finished.

Is it free? Where can I get it? It's not free; there are also different versions. I got a version that takes up 14MB and includes, word for word, the entire text of the printed version-- pronunciation, word origins, everything. But I don't use it. I use the Writer's Toolkit, which is a popup dictionary/thesaurus/encyclopedia/grammar checker/quotation source/abbreviation expander in one package. It takes up a little over 7.1 megs when installed with everything. (You can install the components separately, depending on your available space.) It's great; it has most everything I've ever looked up. There are two chief complaints I have with it: it doesn't pop up over a graphics screen, limiting its usefulness with the System Manager. You can DO it, you just have to shell to a DOS text screen first. Secondly, it swaps to disk when you press the hotkey, before the window pops up. I'd like to find a way to configure it to swap to the C: drive instead of A:, which would speed it up immensely (currently it takes 7-8 seconds to come up after pressing the hotkey) but I can't figure out how to change it so it swaps somewhere besides the directory it's been installed in. > > People having a really offensive amount of free space on their LX > > (i.e. 7 40Mb flash cards) could consider the Gutenberg encyclopedia > > (I think only volume 1 is finished, but imagine: you could be THE > > authority on any subject beginning with A!). > That guy with the 2 GB drive should get this!

Another Way... :) Oops, I forgot about the 4MB units. Yes, they're easy to upgrade; they have 2MB on board and a 2MB card. So you lose 2MB in the trade-up.

That's why it's handy to have a dictionary with a "sounds-like" search option. I believe JORJ had this option... but I'm not sure what other dictonaries do.

Comments: cc: Brendan Macmillan , rudi , longden , Chris , george , bob , sven guckes MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Here is our goal: you say diary and you are placed at the end of the file, just after the day's date. OK for those who came in late: automatically date stamping a file you edit. The problem: the DOS date command wants a . The solution: you pipe it a file containing a , or you do this: echo. | date in calvin: :r !echo. | date which reads in the output of the command following ! BUT!! If you use the incredibly cool and useful wced (filename completion par excellence), this doesn't work. I don't know why. But you can do this: date & The ampersand supplies a & *OR* you can write a little C program that does the same thing (if you discover the & trick too late :-) ). ANd choose the format you want etc. Here is an example: d.c, Turbo C++ (automatically includes stdio.h, I guess) (WARNING: may be typos!) ------ #include int main() { struct date date; //in dos.h getdate(&date); printf("===\ni%/%i/%i\n", //Aussi format (int) date.da_day, //cast, because it's a char (int) date.da_mon, //ditto date.da_year); return(1); //I know, too much time on clc } Now, to get ridiculously cool, you invoke this with a .bat file: diary.bat ------------ vi "+$|r !d|$" c:\_dat\diary.doc Right, this is for a diary: + tells calvin colon commands follow The first $ moves to the end of file; the | separates commands the r !d invokes the above C program - the surrounding quotes are to hide the space from the command line interpretor, which would otherwise allocate it as another argument. $ leaves us right at the end of the file, after the date. HOWEVER! We must account for a little bug in Calvin: although the commands in the line are executed correctly (ie $, r, $), too much of the argument is sent to DOS! That is, instead of just "d", "d|$" is sent. To cope with this, we use an unorthogonal hack: we make a $.bat which is just the DOS command more. This merely pipes on the stdin to stdout, unaffected. IE $.bat ------- more So it doesn't matter that the command is d|$ ! But this is now really nice! You say: diary and you are placed at the end of the file, just after the day's date!

I'll try and answer questions one by one. "Is the 20MB card stacked with stacpalm? Did the 129MB card work in the card reader before you stacked?" Yes, I stacked the card with stacpalm (the same stacpalm that came with the HP 20MB card and was used to stack it.... although, I can't vouch that it was exactly the same process... it's been a long time between cards. And, no, I wasn't clever enough to pop the card in the reader before I tried it in the 100lx. And, yes, so far, you can add Pretec and its 128 MB card to the list of > cards that work... but I haven't given it a complete test run yet and > don't have it actually working in the 100 lx. Not actually working in terms of running my business program... several really large files that are hard to get on even with copying onto the palmtop C: drive and then onto the 128 MB flash card. I'm pretty sure I can use interservr to do this along with my serial cable, but uploading and downloading from the card to my business program (I do daily updates) would be real difficult due to software setup on the main program. Yes, I can save and read files to the card using memo, so from the point of view of this list it is working. "Have you tried using Stacker 4.0 on the cards? How many stacked drives do you have setup on your Desktop PC?" No, I haven't tried using stacker 4.0 on the cards. I could, but I'd have to change the setup (new stacker.com) on the old card, too. I don't really want to do that unless I need too... I have to keep using this system every day (and sometimes at night) so down time and goof ups have to be minimized. Besides, If I can't read the card it would be tough to stack it. I have a second hard drive (with programs I don't care that much about loosing and a backup copy of the business program) that is stacked on the main computer. The C: drive isn't stacked. Only other stacked drive is the "E:" drive (card reader). I've never used interserver but I am going to try tonight to see how that might work. Since I intend to get a new computer late spring/summer I don't want to buy lots of extra things for this one right now.

Can you help me to get a "working" system going whereby my HP200 can use the same PCMCIA Flash cards as the Toshiba notebook ? The cards are series 2 cards, some are 10mb but a couple are 20mb and it seems such a waste to be unable to use them on the HP. I've tried the "ACE" flash driver but it doesn't recognise the card and I have no utility (that I am aware of) to format the card again on the HP. Win 95 on the Toshiba (OEM2 Version) also failed to recognise the cards until I'd loaded the Swap FTL Software from SCM Microsystems that is available on their internet site.

However a week later the upgrade price dropped for a holiday special (12/20/97 to 12/31/97) to $69.00. Just a month ago it was 129 dollars. You can see the add from NSW on the SUPER site at: http://www.palmtop.net/supernew.html As far as I know, every HP200LX will support the upgrade. Here's the way I think it breaks down: If you now have a: after the upgrade you will have: 1meg HP200LX 5meg HP200LX (this is what I have. Depending on when your 200LX was made, you may have to install (solder in) the memory board connector before plugging in the board.) older 2meg HP200LX 5meg HP200LX (These units have 1meg on the motherboard and 1meg on a plug in card. You would replace the 1meg plugin card with the 4meg upgrade card.) newer 2meg HP200LX 6meg HP200LX (These units have 2meg on the motherboard and no plug in card. I think the plug is installed on the motherboard at the factory so the 4meg upgrade is easy to install here.) 4meg HP200LX 6meg HP200LX (These units have 2meg on the motherboard and a 2meg plug in card. you would replace the 2meg memory board with a 4meg memory board.) By the way Notebook Supply Warehouse will do the installation for free if you send you 200LX to them. I would check to see if the memory card plug is installed on the motherboard before I sent my unit in because if the plug is there then the installation is easy for you to do. Hope this info helps.

Seems like a lot to me also. I realize just how inconvenient it is but I would attempt to either get the bigger G cells or take a lantern battery and build a little switch mode down converter to give you three volts from the six as using batteries in parallel is not really a good plan. The higher voltage cell tries to charge the lower voltage cell and that wastes electricity. I wish people would mention the brand of the battery rather than the brand of the store. We don't have any of the stores mentioned but I can find many different brands of batteries.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Personally I do not like using fixed-length records for book databases as the title field have to be quite long, resulting in a massive amount of vasted space and make the LX-platform unfeasable. The following is the good old UNIX way (which I have used for years for a variety of purposes): An ASCII database with one record per line and each field delimited with, say, a tilde ('~') or a TAB should suffice. One can then search info using a browser (such as LIST), GREP etc. The data could be entered in an editor or in a simple specialized data entry program. COMP~Tanenbaum, Andrew S.~Modern Operating Systems~Prentice-Hall~1992~728= pp CHESS~Soltis, Andrew~Opening Ideas and Analysis for Advanced Players Vol.= 1~Chess Digest~1992~220pp =2E.. (Note: your version GREP may and not need double-quotes around the first argument) grep ¬CHESS~ books.txt ('¬' =3D start of line) grep Tanenbaum books.txt grep "~Prenti.*" books.txt grep ~1992~ books.txt grep -c "~Prentice" books.txt (count the number of entries) piped into UNIX-like utilities such as sort, head, tail and a smal formatting program would enable some nice reporting. Multiple GREP's piped from one to the next could simulate boolean-AND. grep ~Prentice books.txt | grep ~1992~ (Prentice-Hall books from 1992) Boolean-OR can either be expressed as a regular expression or as two GREP commands redirected into a temporary file. efgrep "(~Prentice|~1992~)" (list Prentice-Hall books OR (as-well-as) books from 1992) With a few AWK/PERL templates at hand, non-programmers would be able to hack some more advanced searches: awk '$5 > 1990 { print }' books.txt (books later than 1990) awk '$6 <=3D 500 { print }' books.txt (books with <=3D 500 pages) grep "~Prentice-Hall" books.txt | awk '$5 > 1990 { print }' | ... (Prentice-Hall books later than 1990) This may look cryptic but is quite easy to learn once you get started. A few batch files would suffice for most reports. The disadvantage is that such a database is not indexed. However, I don't think DBASE is much faster (if at all) - DBASE is no sprinter and the vasted space in the database would make it really slow. The best thing is that one could start off in ASCII and anytime import the ASCII data into, say, DBASE, Paradox or whatever.

Yep - let's get back to the 60ies - eh, well ... 80ies and do away with those fluffy application programs. Nothing beats UNIX when it comes to data. But with the DOS versions of MKS toolkit, one can get the same feel - even a Korn shell. I hope to get my web-site up soon - look forward to some 4-500 byte unix utilities!

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I've often been able to answer questions that come up on this board in just a few seconds. You can too, if you have a good search engine and download a few files. Maxfind is a search program that lets you search text files for multiple words in and/or/not combinations from the Dos command line. It is quick, scanning text at 100K per second on the LX or 2 meg per second on a Pentium 75. To illustrate, lets search the index file for Simtel (at oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net, 800k text) for editors. This a collection of 12000 of the best DOS free/shareware. At the DOS prompt enter: mf editor simms.txt This produces about 400 "hits". So lets look for editors with spell check: mf -a editor spell simms.txt The -a option is an "and", both editor and spell must be on the line. This produces 6 "hits". Whenever I am browsing for downloads on the Web, I am on the lookout for text to capture that describes downloadable files. These I capture with a suffix of .ix so I can search locally for the files. At times, I want to search within more than a single line. Maxfind will let you search a span of lines or a block which can be defined in several ways. One lets you specify a word that delimits a block. Lets use the archive of this list (at www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml, about 1.5 meg / month). Each message starts with the word "Date:", so make that the block delimiter - -ps"¬Date:". So we can do and/or searches of the messages. EG: mf -ps"¬Date:" -a battery nicad/nimh log97*.* searches for messages that contain battery and nicad or nimh. Maxfind is available in the Simtel library as maxfnd33.zip. It has about 20 options, including fuzzy spelling. The zip contains a 20 page manual. I am the author and I will answer questions here. I can also attach the zip to an E-mail msg. Maxfind will work on non-text files such a word processor and database files, with varying degrees of success. Other files of interest on Simtel v13n07.zip This is a set of PC-Mag utilities that include Peruse, a backscroll program that recalls text scrolled off the screen. Useful when scanning the LX msg archives. Requires emm200 disk766.zip thru disk772.zip King James Bible (6 meg of text) with an ASCII 31 as a verse seperator so that -ps\31 works for Maxfind. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 28 Dec 1997 13:16:35 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "David R.

If memory serves me correctly (tho lately it's somewhat suspect), EMM was a memory managment technique introduced by a consortium of Lotus, Intel and MS way back when the 640K memory limit was severely hamstringing users with big needs. Their EMM spec was supposed to be a "bank-switching" scheme whereby user data was swapped to mapped memory areas outside the conventional 640K as needed by the program code (I don't believe code swapping was supported, nor was there any way to execute code in the EMM memory area). What this allowed were huge spreadsheets and bought the software people some more time as their apps had been swelling so large that there was no longer any room for the user's data . Sorry if this isn't technical enough, or if I've seriously maligned someone's elegant memory solution (it sounded like a hack way back then tho). - Longden PS.

I'm running a 6MB flash memory with fax/modem card by Smart Modular Techologies. It can seize up and all data become unavailable until a hard reboot with re-initialization of memory. The card doesn't really like to get reinstalled without drivers etc which are now not available as the HP doesn't know they are there on the F: drive. Basically you need to use another PC to laplink the drivers in then edit the autoexec.bat and config.sys. Obviously this is really a pain and can be avoided by using something like Buddy to track battery voltage. P.S.

I just this list about a couple of weeks back - it's nice to see there is an active community of HP/LX palmtop users. Hopefully, someone can help me with the problem I am having or has experienced a similar problem. I just bought D&A's WWW/LX PLUS (from Shier Systems). I have been trying to set up POST/LX to a) not delete mail on the server but b) just download previously unretrieved email. It is not working, it always retrieves all the mail including previously retrieved mail. I verified that my ISP is putting in the X-UIDL header line and it works on my other machines (a NeXT and a Mac). I have set up POST with the email setting box "Delete Messages After Download" unchecked which D&A support informed me is the way to do it. But still POST retrieves all messages. In case it helps, here are the details on what version of POST I am using - post.exe bytes: 26,321 date :05-26-97 5:08pm reader.exe bytes: 64,276 date: 05-19-97 6:59pm The About Menu item in reader.exe returns the following: Reader/LX 1.0 S/N registered ...

I never ran across this myself because I always used alkalines, but I have seen where others had reported it. There is a utility out there that corrects this problem, but I don't know the name of it is, off hand. Buddy might also fix this problem, but I'm not sure. Sorry to be so vague.

I used an old speed detection program that advised the speed of the LX at 4.5 MHZ with turbocpu it goes to 6.5MHZ and there is another called maxcpu that put it at 9 MHZ but the screen flickered so I stayed at the 6.5 speed. It really speeds up access to things like the Database. With the 2X upgrades there is a 31MHZ crystal to replace the 16MHZ standard I believe. I presume the software fixes screen flicker. To eke out the most of speed I was curious if the turbo program would run on the upgraded crystal to give a little better performance. Has anyone tried it??

I got an email from NSW last night saying that they had gotten a lot of upgrade sales all at once. They may keep the special going until they sell out of chips (about 40 more). As for warranty, out of the nearly 3000 upgrades they have performed, they have had no failures according to them.

Okay, this is slightly off topic, but... I read somewhere (although I cannot remember where) that the Ý0-2¨86 is actually faster than the 386+ because the instructions are only 16bit long. This would mean that a 286-16 would be noticeably faster than a 386-16. This was hearsay, so can anyone confirm/deny? Perhaps this is the reason that there has been some reports of the LX being almost as fast as a 486 when doing some tasks (someone mentioned that TeX ran very fast).

At least the software tools in the old versions were *VERY* small and of *VERY* good quality. I stopped upgrading after version 3.1 as I started getting the feeling that MKS began thinking the traditional way: make things larger and larger i.e. with a low facility/byte rate. I could easily be wrong; for me it was more important to have the same version on the portable and the desktop computer. For the Windozers there is a Windows version which I have never seen. I should add that I am actually not running the MKS Toolkit on the LX but have it running on all other computers. Couldnt live without it! The shell alone is 74K. You can add as many or as few of your favourite utilities as you like. You do not add passwd etc (unless you want your LX to look like a UNIX machine). You can go in and out of the shell as you please. If you just want to run a shell script once in a while, you can execute "sh abc.ksh" or whatever it is called. >> > And I suppose the LX brings memories back of slow computers but that= >> > is another story. >> A ZX81 emulator runs about 5 times faster on the LX than a ZX81... Ah, I was actually thinking of an old NCR Tower with plenty of users and little memory! According to SI.EXE (don't remember where it came from), the CPU speed is 2.2 times faster than the original IBM XT. The c: drive is of course faster than the floppy on this.

I don't mean to sound to generic, but that's about the size of it. It can be used in process control, portable data logging, communications (internet and as a terminal), or just whatever you feel like doing. HP does maintain one story of the use of its 200 - Coca-Cola Brazil (or S.A., or whatever they call it) bought 1500 palmtops and issued them to their sales people. Apparently, it was like switching from a horse to a Ferrari, coming from their old paper/fax/voice system. I don't know.

Although, since they don't need marketing to survive, they get a lot of weird names (bash and gimp come to mind.) On the other hand, the 200 doesn't get any marketing either.

I don't work in a cubical either. MONITOR I'm writing up my masters thesis (due today) on a slightly bigger (22 inch, I think) monitor, which I've had for the last three years... ...but *all* the development was done on the hp200lx in cafes... and in C, because it is simply better for the experimental work I was doing; using information theory, compression and conditional probability on melody. You can try out ideas whereever you are - this is handy if you get out a lot; you can easily show someone what you are up to. Few scientists are lucky enough to have a laboratory that fits in a pocket... C++ or JAVA Java & C++ may be better for multi-person projects, that are strongly GUI based, and where the problem is well-understood - and hopefully largely based on reuse of existing code. Basically, C++ and Java are great if you are not doing anything new; but just want it to *look* new. And rather than cutting to the heart of the problem, you just throw more resources at it: Windows 95 and Word are such examples of C++, I understand. Personally, I find doing the same old thing over and over again pretty boring. YMMV. On the other hand, graphic design of GUI's can be a lot of fun; but it's not programming... BTW Java is *massively* inefficient. Only really good for remote GUIs, and marketing at present. MULTI-WINDOWS As for multi-windows; well, they *are* pretty helpful, but ¬6 does quick file changes in vi; and Vim's tag support eliminates the most of the need of seeing many files open at once (though it does also have multi-windows.) But for me, I work better by writing things down on paper (did you know that you read monitor text 75% as fast as printed text? LCD is faster than conventional monitors, I believe) The hype surrounding Java and C++ can be reassuring; but don't believe it. And don't sell the hp200lx short.

Over the past week I had my double-speed 200LX down and I was using a single-speed unit. It made me realize just how processor-dependent your typing speed is. I could type 70 wpm on the keyboard on my double-speed unit. On the single-speed, it was continually lagging behind me. I had to slow down and let it keep up. That's one of the main reasons I can think of to get a speed upgrade: easier typing. And I use C++ on the palmtop all the time. Borland C++ 2.0 and Turbo C++ 1.01 both work quite well. Although the giant, slow IDE editors have been removed and replaced with PalEdit and a batch file. :-) -- 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, 31 Dec 1997 17:46:17 +1100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Brendan Macmillan Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Brendan Macmillan Subject: Re: 200LX is _useful_?

(a) great typing (b) bad software If a 7,000,000+ cycle per second processor can't handle 420 events per minute (assunming ave word length of 5); that's 7 events per second, there is something seriously wrong. What's it doing in those 1,000,000 cycles per event?

You know, I tried to change the keyboard repeat rate once, with Norton Utilities, but it said "The repeat rate on this computer cannot be modified." I assume this must be because the keyboard is different from a standard desktop keyboard. I've never tried a buffer expander, though... > "I get knocked down But I get up again You're never gonna keep me down" Not sure what song this is from, but I've heard it on the radio.

My 2 cents of thoughts, Icons from programs which are on the chip cannot be deleted. Quicken is one of those programs. So don't try. As you surely have already a backup of all the files that you have transferred to your C: drive I would suggest to make a hard reset and as answer on the question if you want to "initialize Ram Disk" answer that with Y. That will erase everything from your C: drive. See your manual under "rebooting the system" Wish you luck. Nothing is illegal until you get caught.

I cannot help you with the MKS version, but there is Korn shell availiable fron Garbo (ms_sh23b.zip in /unix). The zip is 800kb large but don't let that put you off. The size is so large because it includes versions for OS2, NT, and others as well. Remove the others and the shell is ~200kb. Remember to have EMS or some swapspace on C: - it eats 200kb of memory as well, which is then swapped out. Although I'm no judge of shells it does seem to be a solid and comprehenve version. It is free and comes with source. Be sure to grab a version of less (also somewhere on Garbo) so you can read the included man-page. (And if you want to do anything with the shell, you'll probably need a few unix utils as well - ls, rm, etc.) Regards, Laust --- /// Laust Brock-Nannestad - laustbn@diku.dk - HPLX+C64+SID /// /// Does killing time damage eternity? /// -------------------------------------------- ***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, 31 Dec 1997 08:21:12 EST Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Daniel Z.

I returned my Silicom card because it doesn't work with a double-speed 200LX, and got an Accton card instead. However, I was able to use the Silicom card to log in to a Netware server. The Accton card says "Settings error!" when loading the driver, but it will load anyway. But I can't access the network. Basically, what I need is an ODI driver that will work with this card in the 200LX. The packet driver works fine, and I can run Lanwatch to view packets just wonderfully (on a double-speed unit, too!) but I need to be able to log into the Netware server. Anybody have any ideas? Alternatively, does anybody have any ideas on how to transfer files between the 200LX and a desktop computer with a network connection? My desktop is running Windows 95. I'm thinking there might be some server software that would allow me to log in and copy files. Any ideas? -- New Year special coming up!

However, you forgot: 1. The key-board is not all that bad. a. I, for one, like it a lot better than the bigger keys used with the wince machines. b. Its a LOT quicker than writing things out in long hand, and then still having to type it in once you get home. 2. 21" monitors have 2 serious drawbacks: a. They really make your clothes droop, if you can even fit them in your pockets. b. They really eat up batteries. 8-) cordially, lynn m. cavendish -------------------------------------------- ***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, 31 Dec 1997 15:40:59 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Rob Tillotson?

I gave up worrying about it and simply changed batteries, but it has always perplexed me because I never had that happen with my old 100LX at much lower battery levels. Does the 200LX need higher power levels? Is the warning level set differently? Hope someone can explain it.

Minix is not unix. However it is a Unix like OS that will run on an XT and doesn't require a transinfinite amount of storage space. If you want to know how memory is protected, read the book. The latest "Operating Systems: Design and Implementation" by Tannenbaum and Woodhull is out and includes a CD-ROM of Minix 2.0. Woodhull is running the Minix web site with Minix. I forget the address but if anyone cannot fine it, let me know. I have run Minix 1.7 on an XT with 20 Mb. HD. It is a little hard to imagine the HP200LX as a multiuser machine but I guess that it would probably be possible even in only as demonstration.

Pratt" Subject: HP-200LX / Daytimer-98 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Well, since I have received only one response to my previous plea for help, and that response was based on an erroneous assumption; I guess that I should repeat it before I bail out of this forum that fills my mailbox with 10 or 20 useless items each day. I am trying to use Intellilink from PUMA Software to sync the Phone Book in my HP-200LX with Daytimer-98. Since they produced the program, one would think that PUMA would have the answer; however, PUMA's support is worthless. I have PUMA's Intellilink version for the PalmPilot also, and it works without a flaw. The 200LX is running Buddy and has a Seagate 5mb flash card as drive A:, if that is any help. If this sync problem is not solved soon, the HP-200 with the Flash Card will be up for sale...cheap. More details to follow. P.S. Yes, I know, "why would anyone want to use Daytimer and the HP-200?" Well, I use Daytimer in the desktop so that I can print out calendar and address pages for my wife's business Daytimer binder. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml
