(was: Educalc and NSW bite the dust) Comments: To: David Sargeant MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit This discussion has turned to the emotions. In my experience, companies do ont respond well to the idea that, "you have such a superb product, why do you stop making it"? In every company where I have worked, Manufacturing loves the product that is running down the production line and the last thing that they want to see is the fellows from product design with another bunch of problems. Sales on the other hand has little interest in the product that is sold. Each satisfied coustomer means someone who probably won't buy the newest model. However, each new model represents a new opportunity to increase sales, profits and so on. Testimonials rarely affect either group. The one thing that they respond to is sales. Any product which sells and continues to sell has a fair to good chance to stay on the production line. If there is someone out there who thinks that the 200LX is the best possible answer, let him ask HP if they would sell the design and tooling. Obviously, they would require that it be cosmetically different but that should be possible. Think about it.

Here is exactly how I accomplished it: First download etherppp and popmail from www.agate.net/~tvdog/internet.html Unzip the etherppp.zip file into a directory named ppp. The files you need from the archive are config.ppp, dial.ppp, ppp.exe & termin.com You will need to modify the dial.ppp file to suit your individual needs, here is the script for my dial-up ISP: send "at\r" recv 5000 "OK\r\n" send "atdt2711140\r" recv 60000 "login:" send "jeffj.ppp\r" recv 3000 "password:" send "mypassword\r" Of course, depending on your ISP you will need to modify the above script to suit your needs. You don't even need a script like the above if you are connecting via a direct serial link (cable) :) To run the program make sure all of the above listed files are in the ppp directory, also note that the /c 2 refers to COM2 and the /s 19200 refers to 19200 baud rate, the /d script refers to the above mentioned script which can be omitted if connecting directly via a serial link. At the C:> prompt in the ppp directory type the following: ppp /c 2 /s 19200 /d script The program should then begin to dial and if you have the script written correctly the program will dial your ISP, do the appropriate negotiations and leave you with a line that says somethin like Your IP is 208.220.5.192 or your appropriate IP address. The packet driver is now loaded!!! From here you should be able to run any DOS program which requires a TCP/IP stack such as Popmail. To set-up Popmail, just follow the included instructions. It's really an easy process. The Popmail program includes a telnet client which emulates VT100, an IP lookup program which is helpful in finding the acual IP address of a server. In order to set-up the program you need to know your ISP's gateway address, the DNS address or addresses and your IP address at the time of logon. The above instructions refer only to connecting to an ISP via PPP if you use SLIP, you'll have to use another packet driver, of which several are available. If the only access you have to the Net is via a shell account you can still use the above set-up you just need to find the program named Slirp on the internet and compile it on the UNIX box. This program is a SLIP/PPP emulator and actually works quite well. I hope that Al and everyone else finds this info useful and hopefully it will be helpful to those who want to connect via PPP using their palmtops without having to resort to Nettamer.

TIPI is a extensible, threaded, interpreted language - very similar= to FORTH. I tried it a couple of years ago when it was on the PTP disk.= As I recall, it includes some HP specific graphics functions and string handling that most FORTHs don't. If you are familiar with FORTH, you'll probably feel at home with TIPI. I've been using Pygmy Forth for quite a while now, and found TIPI quite a bit slower...

In fact, without the T2T driver, the screen flickers and is actually shifted about 1/8" to the right with garbage (tho still _readable_). I believe both the T2T driver and TurboCPU change the number of clock cycles dedicated to screen re-fresh, in the first case to make it readable, and in the second case to speed up the processing of information. That being said, I used TurboCPU for 6 months whithout a hitch before I got the 2x upgrade. Again, MaxCPU didn't give problems either, but the screen flicker was very annoying (precious contrast went down as well). G A T E S 9 9 @ M E D C O R . M C G I L L .

Little memory and so on. I have the new book and disc (Why did Philips insist on disc instead of disk?) but have not had time to experiment. If you had a 20Mb. memory card, you would have as much hardware as I did. Dr. Al Woodhull has a has his web site on a 486 running minix.

You'll probably have to open the computer and replace the connector (I don't even know if you can do that, although you could probably do it with a soldering gun and a new right-angle DIP connector.)

Hard to get (because it's old); but Borland's licensing agreement is that if you have a later version of their C++, you automatically have a license to use older copies. Note that an 8MHz XT sounds slow; but because everything is on a fast RAM disk (no hard drive), it is comparable to many desktops. Additionally, you are not supporting the overhead of W95 (graphics, multi-tasking, and features) or the bloated software that expects to have resources to burn. Also, when you press the 'on' button, it is *instantly* on, and runs for weeks (30-40 hours) on a pair of AA batteries.

I think this is a "feature" of HV. It seems to share this inability with some versions of Internet Explorer. The reason the script runs this way is twofold: 1) Each access is counted so we can keep a semi-accurate SUPER Top-20. 2) Each ftp request is re-directed to a faster ftp server so you don't have to wait.

I am a happy 100LX user who just bought a used 200LX so that I could take advantage of the NSW upgrade. Well it seems that I have a small problem. It has no sound. After opening the case and guessing that it must just be a loose connection, I discovered what appears to be a missing component on the motherboard. My guess is that it is a transistor, but my knowledge of SMT components is very limited. First I was hoping someone could identify the component for me. From the CPU side it is the second component above the speaker pads as you move towards the battery compartment. The first component is labeled 8JY (or HJY) and I assume that the one that I am missing is a similiar part. Second I was hoping someone could supply me with the part or suggest someone who would fix this inexpensively. I would also like to hear from anyone that has a trashed 200LX that they are using for parts.

Ian, any thoughts? Sure Al! The method you outline works (I'm told) but I've never used it. In my opinion the far easier (and much quicker) way - without involving the desktop except to transfer files from the floppies - is as follows (I'm assuming your card is designated drive A): 1- Start with a freshly formatted (or defragmented) card. 2- Include the following in your config.sys file: device=a:\stacker.com files=30 buffers=6 (you may use 15,5) shell=d:\dos\command.com /p d:\dos (Any device drivers needed to read drive A must be loaded before loading the stacker device driver). 3- Create a file named 'stacker.ini' in the root dir of the drive you will be compressing and type the following: /P=10 /EMS (only for those with EMS available on their 200LX) /AUTO A:\STACVOL.DSK,RP (Save this as an ascii file with carriage returns following each line). The P=10 tunes Stacker for maximum compression, ie: 'MAXSPACE'. The EMS switch saves about 35K of conventional mem. 4- Copy only these files to the 200LX: stacker.com create.com screxec.exe screxec2.exe (Total: 217,079 bytes) (These may be placed on any drive or dir but the full path will be needed to execute them. You may remove the last 3 after rebooting and successful completion). 5- Terminate Appmgr and type Ýdrive¨Ýpath¨ create a: /s=0 /r=2.5 This will create a hidden stacvol.dsk on drive A using all the available space with a comp ratio calculated at 2.5:1. 6- Reboot and you're finished. Now, wasn't this *easy* . Sidebar: Stacker 3 includes a file called stackpalm.exe which makes light work of the above and even edits config.sys for you (of course version 3 uses no ini file).

Well, the complaints we had about IE have stopped so I assume that the newer versions no longer have that feature. When I look at my server's agent log, I see that WWW/LX shows up in 837 out of 274838 lines. At 0.3% of Palmtop.Net's traffic in that sample of visits, WWW/LX compatibility does not seem like a big issue. If I drop the script, I lose the count function and the SUPER Top 20 will have to go away which (I think) is a big loss. Maybe if you can tell me what needs to change with the way the script runs, I can figure out a compromise. I will be happy to email the counter script to you.

I've used Stacker on my flash cards for years and never had that problem. I'm no "DOS" or "Stacker" guru, but here's my config.sys file: buffer=20 files=30 lastdrive=J Device=C:\STACKER\STACKER.COM /P=0 A: B: If I reboot with no card, I select "alt" for boot options and then option "2." I also have config.sys and autoexec. bat (identical) on the flash card along with stacker.com on both drives. It probably doesn't make any difference (in terms of your problem), but the executable file for my veterinary program is on both drives also. The above applies to my 100lx. I just pulled the card on the 200lx (also has Stacker) and rebooted, when I press alt I don't get any options it just goes to the topcard screen.

I know version 3.0 runs fine on the 200LX (95LX too), but the new v4.0 apparently includes features from Derive XM (eXtended Memory - that is 386+), so it is probably bigger and perhaps slower?. It should run on the 200lx, though. A reasonable installation of derive is ~300kb Derive differentiates and integrates (better than the HP48) as well as various computations on matrices. Everything is done symbolicaly, although you can choose to do it with floating-point as well. It can also solve for unknowns - I found the generic solutions to the third degree polynomium ax¬3+bx¬2+cx+d=0 with Derive. This was on a 486, though, and it did take a long time :-) Check out their web-site for more info. If you only want floating-point maths, there might be better DOS programs. There might even be good packages that are free or shareware. Derive is commercial.

Nothing fancy but it works. Nettamer when compare to Dmail is definitely more friendly to setup and use. Nettamer works fine for me except for 2 grouses. One is the size (approx 300Kb) vs Dmail with all the pkt drivers, etc (approx 130kb) and Dmail can do and read attachments whereas Nettamer cannot?. Space is a premium now that I have to shelf plan to upgrade my 3 yr old 200LX 2Mb model because of the stupid currency problem in Malaysia. Another point to note is that Dmail is freeware and nettamer is shareware. I use a combination of Batch file+netdial+epppd+dmail (wattcp ver) together with (IBM and EigerLab) 14.4k pc card data/fax modems.

Be sure that you don't buy the kind that is death to plastic materials. Cut of a length and put it into an electric drill with the end sticking out that will go into the computer. With someone else holding the drill down on the table and running the drill at a slow speed, use an emery board such as women use on their finger nails to reduce the diameter to the same size as a remaining foot. Then, turn it around and let the other end stick out of the drill. perform the same operation on the eraser making this end like the tapered end sticking out of the computer.

Pratt wrote: >>Anyway, the Intellisync version for the HP seems to put things in the wrong places, adds entries when it shouldn't and a myriad of other problems.<< and in his second: >>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.<< Well, Frank, if you're still with us, you might not like this any better,= but here goes: 1. You were right the first time: if you have separate programs for each handheld, you're using Intellisync. Intellilink (now also sold by Puma, but not promoted) is a more powerful program that can link with various handhelds. 2. The response you received from this list was correct as far as it went: if the fields are not matched properly (see "Field Mapping"), all hell breaks loose. It's entirely possible that the default mapping is better for the Pilot than the HP. 3. The records from the palmtop and desktop files are compared on a "Key Field". If the data in this field are changed, or if you alter the= mapping such that the key fields in each database are not longer mapped to each other, you'll end up with duplicate records. As far as I could tell when I tried the software, a) the key field is not identifie= d, and b) you cannot alter the selection of the key field. 4. If you do all of your data entry on one system (either the desktop or the HP), set up the transfer so that it is import or export (as applicable), rather than "synchronize". When I tried Intellisync with Ecco Pro, I had trouble with two-way transfers, but one way transfers worked properly--after I spent a _lot_ of time setting it up and testing it. All-in-all, I found Intellilink more useful, if a bit less "automatic". Neither worked without substantial tweaking. (I'm _not_ suggesting that you spend even more money on this; Intellilink isn't that much better and it's even more dated.) Obviously, I don't have the answer, but I suspect that you're seeing a field mapping or key field problem. Whether attempting to find a solution= is worth your ongoing effort (and frustration) is another issue altogether...

It has an asterisk against it in the map - it seems to be the 'description' field for the LX. I use it (Intellilink Plus 1.7 for Schedule+ 7.0) with Schedule+ 7.0, it works mostly. I do use the synchronize option - no choice really as I get items arriving in SCH+ by email from Outlook and Exchange, but I tend to enter my own events first on the LX. The bits that go wrong are: I get many prompts when reconciling due to the LX and SCH+ having different default times for 'notify me n minutes beforehand' - one is 5, the other 15. I guess if I bothered I could fix this. There is no concept of a private appointment on the LX, so you may have to go to SCH+ and make things private after bringing them across. The field lengths are different - most often I write a location too long on SCH+, so it gets truncated on going to the LX. Then when I next synch it thinks they are different, so I just have to tell it to ignore the difference. I can't get ToDo items to work at all - Intellilink gets an internal error. I've tried with a virtually empty .ADB file, but anything that causes it to try to ADD a new entry to schedule+ causes this error. I think it's trying to set an attribute that does not exist. It's happy to export these to the LX, but you can't do any import operation. So you can't update or add a ToDo on the LX and get it into SCH+, which is naff. I'd be interested if anyone with the same setup does not get these problems, especially the ToDo one. An of course I'm desperate for a version that supports Outlook Calendar. It seems weird that Puma, who have a product with all the back-end to communicate with the LX and synch against loads of PDAs, and have a fron-end that can synch Outlook Calandar against the Palm Pilot, can't just glue the two together and sell them to a grateful world. Maybe they are worried that if they had a good product Micro$oft would buy them and sink it.

A couple of others in this group can probably recommend some simple things to try (ie, pressing on select parts of the screen) and some not so simple (disassembly). Another suggestion would be to email Mack Baggette of Times2tech (Educalc's former competition). His web page at http://www.times2tech.com lists a repair fee ($75-$150), but this may be dependent on the availability of parts.

I just moved from home back to college after the winter break, and left my external modem power supply at home! (ARGGG No net access!) Luckily, I was able to use a computer in a lab a college to pull several different communication programs off of the net, and found one that would let my desktop talk to my 9600 modem in my palmtop. So, my HP200lx is sitting above my computer, with an AC line, a phone line, and the serial cable plugged into it, acting as my modem. The software, comchk18.zip, is a RS232 line analyzed, and it shows everything that goes over the serial connection, which I am sure would be useful if you had to debug some modem comunications problem. I found it at oak.oakland.edu in the simtell mirror, under msdos IO utils.

The 750mA minimum may be a bit high (probably to be on the safe side). I've used RadioShack's 12v, 500mA charger for over a year without a hitch. The RS charger is mentioned in the FAQ (RS part number is 273-1652D). I've got rechargable batteries and have run the LX in charging mode while driving a PCMCIA modem at the same time on this charger. OTOH, I know 750mA is what HP recommends. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 6 Jan 1998 14:08:59 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Longden C.

Check the Hewlett-Packard site. Since our sources are drying up, I'll repeat the info here for others (info was good July of last year). The kit mentioned is the Palmtop Maintenance Kit, part #F1216-60998, $20 (plus whatever shipping). includes 2 of each: - battery covers - IR cover - backup battery tray - engraving plate plus: - set of hinge caps - rubber feet - screws for base Call HP Direct Order Dept. at 800-227-8164 - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 6 Jan 1998 17:40:57 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , hplx Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: hplx Subject: HP PIM (OB6DSK like) & arcadeLX Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii"

So...I figure I can get by with an extra 1MB onboard. I've come across a 100LX with 2MB on board but I'm wondering: will this unit be upgradable to 6MB or 8MB later on, when I can afford the upgrade? Will it have the socket onboard so I can just plug in a higher capacity RAM board or will soldering be required? For that matter, did HP ever sell 100LXs with 2MB? Also, are there any inherent advantages to having the 200 over the 100? Specifically: 1. Is the COMM program in the 200 less clunky than the 100? I recall that it pauses quite often at speeds above 2400 baud. 2. Is the search function in the database apps faster on the 200? I know that the 200 comes with Quicken & Laplink but I think I can do without although it'd be nice to have these two apps, especially since I don't ever use CCMail. Pls cc: replies to my email as I'm trying to make a quick decision.

I don't think it would be hard to do a one-off load, using either a comma-separated file (CSV) or going via Schedule+. For the latter I could in principle use a SCH+ .SCD file as the 'master', and just have the Outlook contacts as a clone, by using Outlook's Import capabilty. Then I could go on using Intellilink... Frankly I don't use the contacts on the desktop at all, there are too many different places it keeps this kind of information for it to be useable in applications. I'd want it to dial the phone, address my Xmas cards etc ;-) I just use the LX, it's always with me. For a one-off I'd use CSV as you can edit the file to make sure it is all consistent before loading it. I did that when I migrated my contacts from the previous PDA (a Sharp IQ-8200). Of course if anyone did produce a proper synchronisation tool for Outlook, I might do different. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 7 Jan 1998 16:18:51 -0500 Reply-To: anborg@eagle.seed.net.tw Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: anborg Subject: Re: What is Lap Link?

The software allows a second computer to appear as a set of disk drives of the host computer. You can then transfer, copy, send, receive files from one machine to the other. The hardware consists of a serial cable with a built in null modem and also parallel cable so as to provide the hardware for these transfers. If you have two or more computers it is quite useful. Of course the HP palmtops do not have a parallel printer port and so we must use the serial cable.

Several years ago, I spent an evening in the emergency room of a big hospital in this city. In a Chinese hospital that usually means one big room with over a hundred beds with only the most minimal screens around a few beds. While I was there, an old gentleman was brought in to the bed next to mine who looked like his life was now history. However, the staff brought in a very complex machine which allowed the doctor to view the actions of the heart and this in combination with a very sophisticated defibrillator allowed the doctor to restore the patients heart beat and within a short time, he was breathing on his own and looked like he was well on the way to another day. The whole setup was made by HP. Recently HP had an ad in Fortune magazine where they showed a man playing with a small child. The text said that this man had earlier that day been using one of their machines to save someone's life. That ad touched me like no advertisement I can remember seeing. I sent HP an E-Mail telling in more detail the story above. Ultimately, I got a very nice letter from the advertising agency. Today, my doctor suggested some sort of heart test to see if some missing or misplaced beats were significant. I went in for the test this afternoon and low and behold, It was the same sort of ultrasonic chest scan apparatus that I had seen earlier. As the doctor moved this ultrasonic probe around on my chest, he was describing to another doctor just what he was seeing. When he got done, he said that as far as he could see there was no problem with my heart and he had a printed copy of some of the various pictures to give to the my doctor. There has been a lot of discussion about HP and some of the people seem to be upset about HP seemingly becoming attached to WinCE machines. I will also be sorry if the DOS machines are no longer sold. However, it is not the company that is good or bad, it is the people that make up the company and I think that HP passes the test.

If you have an HP200, then you already have Laplink. The FAQ explains how to do the setup. All that's needed is the serial cable for the HP (which sells for about $25). I use interlnk/intersvr myself (which works somewhat the same way) which came with my DOS 6.x system, tho I've loaded Laplink before for kicks. They work about the same...each has minor perks and faults. - Longden PS - If you don't own an HP200...I know I haven't answered your question. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 7 Jan 1998 08:40:18 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Donald J.

Any help will be > very much appreciated. Pg. 8-2 of the 200LX manual says the Category field is limited to 32 categories OR 255 characters. Sounds like you've hit the wall. I've seen the problem before also and had to rethink my categories to accomodate the limit.

Your "Bad command or file name" message indicates it can't find the 'mode' command. Make sure d:\dos is in your path (that's where the mode command is).

I've tried this rate and it indeed speeds up the typematic, perhaps a bit too much.

I just recently saw a comment that it was possible to use the HP95LX to access the Internet using Nettamer. I would like to hear from anyone who has actually done this. The unit that I have has 512Kb. and I would suppose that it is not practical to expand the memory. In addition the RS-232 port will only work with some modems and HP in the owners manual is not telling which will work and which will not. Does this require a combined Modem/Ram card? I would like to hear as I delight in showing people that it is not necessary to have any big iron to get your mail, read newsgroups and get text from the WWW.

Much to my surprise, my local hardware store had 1.6mm machine screws which worked for the case (15 cents). A little dab of silicone adhesive (found at hardware or auto parts stores) now plugs the hole with a similar feel to the rubber plugs. I'd recommend against a latex based caulk as it is not as pliable as silicone. The silicone can easily be scraped out of the hole if I need access to the screw later. -Eric PREVIOUS THREAD: > > Steindorf, Eric wrote: > > > I lost one of the rubber feet on the bottom of my 200LX and now > that > > > screw is gone as well.

The kingmax card works okay, but when I checked with kingston, they sell the card for something like 260.00. I called magic ram back and at first they tried to tell me they are the same cards. After telling this guy I had checked prices and ordered magic ram based on the lifetime warranty, he said he would call me back. He did, and to make a long story short, they agreed to sell me the kingmax for 299.00 or let me send it back for a magic ram card for 399.00 (40.00 bucks less than I orginally paid). My question, is there any difference? Magic ram says their card is better, hp approved and all that B.S. if you know what I mean, but I wonder about what kind of firm they are now anyway. It seems a lot like bait and switch. If anyone out there (and I know there are people who use both cards) can help, I would appreciate it. The kingmax card has a one year warranty. When I asked why I was shipped this card in the first place I was told they didn't know (I had specifically asked for the magic ram card). Is there a difference in the power usuage that would justify the extra 100 bucks? a difference in the speed? a difference in the quality? Thanks in advance for your opinions.

I recently wrote a DOS utility some of you may be interested in. You give it a filename and it copies the file to a new unique name, while keeping the stem of the filename the same. The program changes the extension to make the filename unique. For example... makeuniq status.doc ...will make a copy of status.doc with the name status.001. But if status.001 already exists, then the file will be called status.002. If status.001 and status.002 exist, then the file will be called status.003. I use the utility in this way: when I need to make a status report, I like to quickly bring up the last status report that I created and then modify it to make the new report. If I always bring up the file status.doc, I don't have to think about what filename to search for and I can automate the process using a macro. I have a macro that automatically emails my status report to my project manager. After submitting the status report, I like to keep an extra, permanent copy of status.doc. I do that by calling the makeuniq.exe which creates the unique name. The date of the file itself shows me at a glance the approximate period ending date of the status report. I can easily can previous status reports when necessary to find the one I want. Let me know if you'd like to try it on a shareware basis, and I'll send you a copy.

I looked through a DOS 5.0 manual and found that rate can range from 1 to 32, with values corresponding to approximately 2 to 30 characters per second respectively. The default is 20 for AT and 21 for PS/2. I played around with it and discovered 26 was still a bit too fast. 20 was fine and so is 24, but I hadn't tried 25 yet! :) For what it's worth, the delay value can range from 1 to 4 and results in delays of 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1 second.

I can't say for nettamer but my first lx was a 1mb 95lx which i sent for my sister-in-law (who resides in Manchester, UK) when my 200 arrived. She used it along with a pcmcia PalmModem (made specifically for the 95lx that i got from nsw some time back) to read and write mail on compuserve for quite some time - up to one year ago! She has since sold the 95lx (yes its *still* on the net on compuserve after over six years of continuous use!!) to another doctor who uses it to keep in touch with family back home. Come to think of it - these 95lx's seem to have been much sturdier than their successors. This unit has been thru more relationships than Elizabeth Taylor and more trips to the floor than could be counted (tho not while in my care) and still works flawlessly. My 200lx is scarcely 12 mths old, has newer seen an hour of harsh treatment, direct sunlight nor cold weather and yet still sports a line accross the screen and tiny traces of 'the crack'!

It really is great to be able to draw pictures in Autosketch, and the Easy Cat is a good companion to the 200LX not only because of its price, but because of its small size. However, there is one thing: the first one I got didn't work with my double-speed 200LX. It worked with the desktop computer, and with a single-speed 200LX, but it just didn't work at all with my double-speed unit. So I returned it, got another, and it worked fine with everything. The moral: if you can't get it to work on your double-speed palmtop, but it works on other things, the fault is with the touchpad, not the double-speed. -- New Years special coming up!

I take the ATA flash card containing the pictures out of the camera and plug it into the slot in the HP and the pictures are available on the HP. I don't quite know what you would do with the pictures once they are there. I guess if you have an internet connection you could email of upload them using FTP. Basically there is no problem moving a card between the HP and the RDC cameras. One thing to note, though, the RDC cameras are rather picky about what ATA flash cards they work with. I have several older sundisk cards that won't work at all in the RDC-2 but a newer compact flash card with adaptor works fine in both. Rather annoyed me at first since I have a bunch of older flash cards and I hoped they would work in the RDC-2 but nope. Pete Peter W.

It has truely been a blessing to me. With all do respect, the shareware Bible software leaves much to be desired for the serious student. Only PC Study Bible has a complete set of reference tools. Multiple windows make things easy. You can zoom and resize the Bible text although concordance and other reference features must be viewed in smaller text. Sure it costs money and the necessary flash ram to store it does too. Bible Soft is HP palmtop conscious and will help you get it up and running. How many windows focused software venders do you think give a damn about a DOS palmtop these days? In my experience, it is the only practical solution. I can't imagine traveling with out it FYI, my palmtop has also served me well for sales contact management, inventory analysis, word processing and HF/VHF/UHF radio control including frequency mangement (RPN functions are to be taken for granted). What a tool. I hope I don't sound like I'm preaching!

The particular HP95LX that I have at this time is owned by a gentleman that I am doing some design work for. He apparently either bought it or was given it but was put off by the thickness of the owners manual. I contrived a serial cable for it and used with some GPS equipment as a terminal. After I sent the E-Mail, I started looking and found a wealth of advertising material that dates from the computer was new. I am going to see if any of those "modems with memory" are still available. I notice that someone had software for using not only NiCD cells and recharging them but also NiMH cells in the 95LX. It seems to me how funny that in just a very few years, HP shifted from emphasising that they had a calculator that would run 123 to the much greater emphasis on the use as a computer in the 200LX manual.

I originally considered the Kodak DC-20 when a list member said that they were $99 at Office Depot and Office Max. Everywhere I call these cameras are sold out. I am in Colorado Springs. So I decided to look at other alternatives. Some digital cameras are using a type of flash card for storage while Sony is using 3.5 floppies! It seems the earlier cameras were more compatible with the HP200LX software. I had hoped to find something soon as I will be going on a business trip and it would be nice to use the selftimer and take pictures of myself and some scenery to send to my kids via AOL on the HP200LX. Does the Kodak DC-20 kit provide everything you need right out of the box? If so, I will pursue it online. For $99, the pictures don't have to be stellar quality just easy-on-the-eye without too much pixelation.

This only works if you have a flash card that both the Ricoh and HP can read; most newer flash card, including compact (if you have the adapter) are fine. Some old (12V?) cards that work fine in the HP do not work in the Ricoh (I have two 10MB cards that are this way) . Since the images in "fine" mode are about 200K each, and are already compressed, this is only practical if you have a memory expanded HP200. The Ricoh stores images in a modified form of .JPG file that is easily converted to .JPG. Some viewers can view them directly (skip the header and duplicate every 6th line to fix the aspect ratio). Something to consider is the format that the camera stores the pictures in; it it is proprietary you might have trouble. In all, using the camera with the HP is only good for me in an emergency. I actually copied images from the camera's flash card to the HP, then back to other flash cards (that the camera could not read) for storage.. I could see that it could be useful with a camera like the Kodak DC20 where the camera only stores a few images and the images aren't too big and the camera does not have any external storage. Most cameras have a serial port, but don't come with any DOS software to unload the camera. The DC20 is the only one I've ever heard of. One other point, if any one else has a Ricoh (I saw a recent posting). The Ricoh uses a fixed size for image storage; i.e. the fine mode shots are always 200K. Maybe they do this so the camera can always tell how many images are left. There is wasted space at the end of every file in the .J6I file. I've been thinking about writing a DOS program for the HP that would "compress" the images on a card from the camera to get a bit more space by chopping off the unused part of the file. I tested this manually on some files, and the camera still works with the card, and you can get the images back just fine. I estimate that you would get about 20% more space with "fine" files; just stick the card in your HP200 for a minute and run the program to reduce the files. -Bryan -------------------------------------------- ***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, 10 Jan 1998 10:04:57 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , James Hall Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: James Hall Subject: Re: HPLX-L Digest - 8 Jan 1998 to 9 Jan 1998 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit could someone email me a screenshot of them running win3 on a hp200lx?

I paid $99 plus tax and would take whatever I paid plus $3 postage. Mike Kilpatrick At 08:13 AM 1/10/98 EST, you wrote: >Thank you, Jorgen.

The DC-20 does not have a selftimer, so it is only suitable for your purpose if you have a long arm. ;8-) Apologies to the list about the length of what is to come but I can see on my email that there is plenty of interest (I hope!). I actually bought a DC-25 first because I thought I needed the flash and the built-in screen. I also liked being able to store pictures on a flash card and the ability to plug in a net adapter during download and maintenance to save battery. You can also delete pictures at random (e.g. take three-four pictures, check them on the built-in screen and = just keep the one you like best). After a while I found it slightly bulky (I carry a mobile phone, cigarettes, HP-LX, a book etc) + prefer to use a DOS program to download pictures, so my son found he had a very easy job in convincing me that he needed a digital camera for his photography studies. I bought a DC-20 for myself and both of us are happy. I generally use it as a notebook as I can show the pictures on a computer without development etc. plus I can email them around the world. DC-20 is a very basic camera without flash, no socket for net adapter, no external flash storage, can hold 8 pictures in 493*373 pixels or 16 in 320*240 pixels and no built-in screen. You can not delete pictures at random. But it is *tiny* (the DC-25 is only *small*). All in all: the DC-25 is probably a better camera as such and it can hold twice as many pictures. The resolution is the same. Both are 100% fully automatic. The "film speed" is 800-1600 ISO (wonderful for low light pictures (eg a badly lit shop), even without flash!). Both come with everything you need: serial cables for PC and Mac, picture download and image enhancing software (nice!), (and Kai's Power Goo software which kids of all ages just love). All software is W3.1/W95 and Macintosh. The DC-25 net adapter is extra. You can buy a tele (1.5 x), wideangle and closeup adapters as extra. The choice is difficult. My son would not want to switch - and neither would I. The quality is fine for our purposes. The 100-150K images shrink to about 60-70K in JPG format (reasonable size for email!). If you consider buying a low-resolution camera, check out the image quality at www.kodak.com and home.t-online.de/home/Oliver.Hartmann/dc20secr.htm. People wishing to print quality images on paper will probably want at least 1000 * 1000 pixels.

A trick I've seen is to change the file name, but leave the extension alone. eg MUSIC.DOC becomes MUSI001.DOC losing the last three of eigth in the filename, if present.

Does the DC-25 have a timer? 2. Were you using the external compact flash card with an adaptor to load the pix into the HP200LX? 3. What software did you originally use with the DC-25 to interface with the HP200LX? Honestly speaking, I realize through your comments that the DC-20 (and possibly DC-25) works well with the HP200LX but I actually would prefer the something more feature-oriented like the Sony Mavica FD5 or FD7 (using external 3.5" floppies) OR the Ricoh RDC-1 or RDC-2 (using compact flash). If someone would tell me some great news about the FD7 and connectivity with the HP200LX I would go buy it right now. I really want a mid-priced digital camera with zoom and full-featured to accompany my HP200LX. Somehow I don't think I am going to be that lucky. 8-} I actually handled the FD7 with the zoom and it was sweet! Decisions, decisions....

It was discouraging. It was the bare-bones camera, no viewscreen, no way to pre or post-view the images. So on the shelf next to that was the Casio QV-11, at 199.00. It was apparently going to be a close-out, but it was fifty times better looking than the Kodak one. It has a viewscreen, stores 96 images, the lens turns all way backwards for self-portraits, and it has a timer. There is software and a cable to interface with the PC and all that works fine. I gave them some static about the box having been opened but everything checked out and it works fine. Of course a week ago I went back into Office Depot (or was it Stapes.. they all look the same to me) and saw the next one up from the QV-11, and it is REALLY nice.. a little bigger, has a flash, (the QV-11 doesn't pick up low-light too well) and stores at three different resolutions, has a bigger viewscreen. Well, I haven't tried putting any of the QV-11 pics on the LX as the software is for Windows, but the files are only a few hundred bytes each, so they could be converted from .cam files to .jpg or something, and it would work just fine. I managed to scrape together some nice photo programs and now I'm right back where I left off when I didn't want to pursue photography due to color processing being so much trouble... the programs are SO easy compared to all that...And when you have a digital image that looks dark, there is still LOTS of depth there, the colors can be pulled out and it still can be salvaged. A great improvement over color film, in that way, but the resolution isn't quite there yet, but will be soon I am sure, and affordably. Bob Aldrich Los Angeles RGBROWN wrote: > > Thank you, Jorgen.

Jorgen, I've been playing with my DC-20 and the LXDC software on SUPER, which lets me download the camera images to the LX for storage and perform some very simple previewing (actually, the PCX conversions seem hardly any better than the thumbnails). Do you have a simple way to convert the camera images to JPG format on the LX, or do you just use the companion desktop program to do the conversion? I'm still getting acquainted with the LXDC software on SUPER which lets me control the camera and save the images to the LX...have you compared this to any other like software? Thanks. I'll be checking out that website you suggested. - 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: Sun, 11 Jan 1998 08:28:37 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jorgen Dybdahl Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jorgen Dybdahl Subject: Re: 200LX and digital cameras Comments: To: "INTERNET:lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 >Do you have a simple way to convert the camera images to JPG format on >the LX, or do you just use the companion desktop program to do the >conversion? Maybe Graphics Workshop (GWS) can now? My (very) old version run on any computer and can convert between PCX, GIF, TGA, PCS, BMP etc. I have GIF2JPG and JPG2GIF if that is any help. I use CorelPaint (version 3) (partly because it is good and partly because it can read TGA) plus the PhotoEnhancer (which cannot read TGA) coming with the camera (nice program). My brother (the DC-20 pioneer in the family) and my son use Adobe PhotoShop (a very good but expensive program). The source code to DC20TERM and DC2TOTGA software is available for something like $20 if someone feels like making a DC-20->JPG conversion program. DC2TOTGA come in two versions: DOS protected mode and W3.1. I have never tried the LXDC software. Sounds interesting as LXPIC, PICEM and PhotoEnhancer can read PCX.

None, as the DC20TERM does not work though the hardware should be much the same. The inventor of the program believe that DC-25 send different status codes back. I personally cannot see much idea in transferring pictures from DC-25 to the LX as viewing images the B/W CGA screen must be a pain. The pre-viewer in the DC-25 is probably better, though small! And yes, you can easily find a camera with better resolution and more facilities. It all depends on what you want to use it for. The DC-20 is plain fun, a useful notebook and the pictures small enough to send as email in JPG or GIF format. I used to be a serious photo amateur, my wife is a serious amateur, my son a coming professional photographer. We have yet to see a digital picture that can match a "real" picture in quality. We would also have to spend 5-10000 pounds to get a camera just close to the Olympus SLR's we are used to. Independently of which camera you contemplate buying: Go to the DC-20 site I mentioned earlier - there are links to happy Casio, Olympus, Canon etc web-sites (with pictures), all of which will claim that *their* camera is the best thing invented since bubblegum and CocaCola - and they will probably all be right. It is far easier to choose the right palmtop computer. There is only *one*.

Some of the codes = returned from the DC25 are indeed different, so I am slowly getting a program together myself.

For the past 5 months, I've been tinkering w/ a program I wrote that will do a daily, automatic backup of my palmtop to my flash card, that was executed from the Appointment Manager. Its a DOS program that executes under maxdos, that will do an incremental (ie. only if file has been changed since last backup) or full backup of files that are specified in a separate .ini file with regular directory masks. The specifications can either be recursive or non-recursive. The overall advantage is that the backup occurs in the middle of the night, and the scheduled activity is automatically advanced to the next day. I've included the .bat and macro file that I use for my procedure, as well. The way I've got it working is as follows: Sunday's at 3.00 am, a full backup is performed for all those files specified in the .ini file. Then on the other mornings at the same time I do an incremental backup. My usual results are about a 450000 byte file for Sunday, and about 150000 bytes for the other days. Of course. mileage may vary. It is freeware in keeping with the spirit of the HP palmtop community 8¬). I will submit it to SUPER (Mitch... could you please let me know of the address to which to send this?). I should mention that two other packages are required to use this, both of which are also free... Info-Zip utilities are already on SUPER, I believe. The other is DOS grep, which can be located at the address indicated in the rbs.txt file in my package. The rbs.txt file has details about how to set it up. The rbs.ini file also is very well documented. Please ask if I left out any pertinent details. If anyone wishes to comment/complain about anything regarding the program, I'll be more than happy to listen. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark J.

Does this program provide any advantages over running PKZip via a batch file that's initiated by the Appointment app each night? I have mine set up so that it creates a zipped archive file on my RAM card each night at 11:30 pm. I keep 7 different archive files, with the oldest being replaced each night. Also, I back up my system once a week.

In the path type: a:\is\is.exe N x200 where x is Shift - backslash combination You should then be able to start the program from SysMgr and switch with the built-in programs by uising Ctl-123 combination. Also, when you get to the first screen do not use Alt-J as that works for a TSR-type setup. Just hit the enter key. I have been using it this way for several years and it works great.

It sounds as if maybe you don't have enough memory allocated for your DOS box in SysMgr. I don't recall the minimum memory needed, but as long as it runs fine from a DOS prompt on the palmtop, you can play with DOS memory allocation, or use something like MaxDOS. -- Tom Hoover N5NTM - http://pobox.com/~thoover - checkout HisWord(tm) Palmtop Bible at the above URL - ------- finger thoover@pobox.com for PGP key -------- -------------------------------------------- ***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, 11 Jan 1998 23:02:58 EST Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , CSchlim Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: CSchlim Organization: AOL (http://www.aol.com) Subject: Re: Info Select...again Comments: To: thoover@pobox.com Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Tom, through your persistence, I got the program to run.

My thoughts exactly, but I'd prefer not carrying anything with me except the DC-20 and my 200LX. Unfortunately, I think I NEED the PhotoEnhancer software (that came with the camera) to convert the raw image data into something I can view on the LX and that I wouldn't be too ashamed to email to someone. The PhotoEnhancer software looks like it's a Windows only pgm. The LXDC program on the SUPER site is good for unloading the images, but not for viewing, and as I said in an earlier note, the conversion to PCX leaves a barely viewable image. >We have yet to see a digital >picture that can match a "real" picture in quality.

Also, the contrast will usually diminish. HP planned to reduce the contrast due to either the voltage or temperature change but overshot their goal and the contrast goes down.

This must run on the LX. I want to take my LX and DC20 on travels and email photos back home (or to co-workers) without bringing along a notebook computer to do the conversion. The LXDC program on SUPER saves the image in "raw" format which isn't useable to any viewer. It does have a PCX conversion, but it's VERY low-quality and loses most of the image features. I have the 'cjpeg' program from simtel which will convert a variety of formats (gif,ppm,pgm,tga) to jpg, but I first have to get the DC20 file into one of the other formats. Jorgen Dybdahl mentioned a website which had some utilities including one that converts the raw format to .tga, but that requires either Windows or XMS (not EMS). Another utility at that site (dc20term) downloads the images to the LX but leaves the data in raw format. Another Japanese site at: http://www.yk.rim.or.jp/~hideki/es1000/cmttoppm-e.html has a C program to convert from the raw format to .ppm, which is apparently used alot in Unix. Has anyone ever compiled/run this on the LX? When I try to compile (with the large-model option), I'm getting alot of errors ("auto variables exceed 32k in a single function"). Does anyone have any suggestions on making the above C program work, or have a utility that runs on the LX that will convert the Kodak's raw image file to jpeg? Thanks. - Longden PS I know the alternative is to get a better digital camera that saves its images in jpeg format....but I'd rather not get into that just now. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 12 Jan 1998 16:07:12 -0700 Reply-To: "bryan@onyxgfx.com" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bryan Pearson Organization: Onyx Graphics Subject: Re: XCOPY Equivalent Comments: To: "speters@kdsi.net" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit On Simtel Dos: pcopy93d.zip 122K 96/05/22 Patriquin COPY, file copier with many options +- Searching> l:\cdrom\GARBO pcopy93.zip Norm Patriquin's fabulous copy program Is this REALLY 122K?

I've been trying to get that very program to compile this evening. I'm using Borland C++ 4.5, and got rid of most of the = array size errors by using the huge keyword in every declaration. This was = fine for all the declarations in function headers, but I can't get the actual array declarations in the cmttoppm function to accept it. If I put huge in, I get "Conflicting type modifiers in function cmttoppm", and if I = leave it out I get "Array size too large in function cmttoppm". All the other errors seem easily fixable: I commented out the #include and added #include and I still need to rework the main() function to get rid of the getopt() stuff which Borland doesn't seem to have. I'd welcome any clues with the array declarations. --=20 Neil Tungate (neil@skipper.demon.co.uk) Team 200LX UK ÝIf replying by email, remove the final Z from my address¨ -------------------------------------------- ***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, 12 Jan 1998 18:36:57 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Francois Ennesser <100774.3617@COMPUSERVE.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Francois Ennesser <100774.3617@COMPUSERVE.COM> Subject: Typematic rate: rectification MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sorry guys, some characters appear to have disappeared in the transmission.

In general. The pcx resulting from the 130k image file averages about 3-4k. A photo of my wife standing in front of a car was barely recognizable as a person and a car even when the pcx file was displayed on my desktop. In fairness, the documentation did stress that the pcx conversion was a 2x blowup of the thumbnail, which loses alot of features (and color) as a result. > > >Unfortunately, I think I NEED the PhotoEnhancer software > > The photoenhancer is certainly a must! And I have long ago accepted that > Windows is "it" when it comes to massaging graphics files. Please tell > me I am wrong and I will be eternally grateful! I'm willing to dig a little to make you grateful . I really think that many of the pieces of software to make the DC20 images into jpeg are out there, but maybe it'll just take some effort to find the right things to do. The main problem is the limited number of existing programs that can read and understand the Kodak raw image format. And yet the sample programs I've seen seem to indicate that the format is not difficult to work with. All it needs is a graphics oriented programmer with time and inclination. As I said, the 'cjpeg' conversion program from Simtel works on the LX and converts from a variety of formats to jpeg and is only 91k. The task of reading the raw data and converting it to jpeg directly on the LX doesn't seem unworkable. PhotoEnhancer is nice, but overkill for me. All I need it for is to convert the raw image to TIF, then save to jpeg. If I could do that on the LX, I could use LXPIC to do any other limited manipulations for viewing, but more importantly I could use the image right away (ie for email). - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 12 Jan 1998 20:17:19 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Longden C.

Mgr., and I might specify in the 4th section to exclude c:\mydocs\verybig.doc, but only in that directory. Whatever method is used, I always say that if some method works, why change it! Nevertheless, I offer this to anyone that might wish to use it and benefit... I believe it may make it easier to setup, especially for those who don't want to mess around w/PKZip directly. By the way, I've also included in the distribution a .bat file that will perform the same reciprication of archives, keeping the last 8 archives.

Many thanks to all who responded on this. Once again, this group has come thru for me and I'm grateful to have this kind of dialogue available. Owen Samuelson has posted his modified version of Gilles Kohl's ICNVU program (normally included with the PAL library, I understand) to the SUPER site. Owen has made modifications including one to display 44 icons per screen (up from the original 24). Other suggestions were also useful to know: - "icon view" at the Jonin site displays 30 icons per screen, but is slower than ICNVU. However, iconview includes a collection of very nicely done icons by Don Puscher. - LXPIC (the latest version) also displays multiple icons per screen, but I preferred the image format in ICNVU (plus ICNVU hooks to the built-in icon editor to allow you to make changes). - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 13 Jan 1998 06:19:41 -0800 Reply-To: "Longden C.

Stephen, I beg to differ. As I understand it, the "GW" in gwbasic stands for William Gates (it was his early programming effort and later pet application), and gwbasic was included on my Leading Edge computer running MS DOS 3.2 (not PC DOS) back in 80-something. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 13 Jan 1998 06:15:20 PST Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Russel Brooks Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Russel Brooks Subject: Re: 200LX and digital cameras Reply-To: rlbrooks@pobox.com >Date: Mon, 12 Jan 1998 06:58:17 +0200 >From: Euclides >I would like to ask if there is a program capable to defrag the HP200lx. >I am saying that because HP stands on the ver 5.0 of Dos. In general you don't need to defray the HPLX because you only have ram disks which don't suffer rotational delay and head seeks like a hard drive or diskette drive does. The 2 cases where you do need to defrag the disk is when building a swap file for Software Carousel (which comes with a defrager) and creating a volume for Secure Device. Disk compression like Stacker might also need it but I'm not sure as I don't use it. That said, I still defrag my disks occasionally just because I like a tidy disk and I've got the utilities so why not use them. Cheers...

The "Gates, William" thing is an urban legend. In any case, it was an MS product. PC-DOS had BASICA instead, sometimes it was an interpreter, but early versions merely loaded the BASIC stored in ROM (this way it would only work on IBM-PCs, since they were the only ones with BASIC in ROM). They are however, 99% compatible so it doesn't really matter. This has been discussed at great length in alt.folklore.computers several times.

I think the problem is that the 200LX's infrared protocol is pre-IRDA. According to the Developer's Guide, it's a format called REDEYE. > Seeing that IR discussion is coming up again, i'm going to ask again: Hey, > programmers: How do i access the IR port?

What is the executable size? No, the executable size is 170kb, PKlited it is 86kb (but pklite will slow down execution speed considerably). I must admit, however, that Pcopy is probably overkill.

After reading C P Wong's mail on last Jan 6, I was encouraged to try to install D-mail (2.2) in my 200LX 2MB (+EXP 4MB data/modem card). As he suggested I am using epppd (from Antonio Lopez's PPPD) and chat (PPPD) for connection. As far as establishing PPP packet driver to RAM, I was successful. But when I tried to use dmail (for packet driver) to check my incoming mails, it failed. It seemed that Dmail could not recognize that there had been packet driver in memory. I believe that my problem has something to do with IP address since my ISP gave me dynamic IP address. I read in some materials that we could solve it out by "bootp". But I do not know how to set it up with Dmail or whether Dmail supports it. I could not consult with Dmail's English manual since it mentioned a little about it. Can someone in the list help me please? Regards.

I found some information at; http://www.jeyeye.com/prodinfo . This didn't answer all of my questions but was a start. One thing that I feel like I have a great lack of understanding is the following. I have heard that the HP200LX is older than the IRDA standard and thus does not conform. However, clever people have made the IR port emulate TV remote control transmitters and thus, I suspect that the function is not cast in concrete and can be altered if needed.

There is a lot of information about IRDA on the WWW, but it's hard to put it together in a way which makes sense. Some ideas: 1. Several firms make transceivers which plug into the IRDA connector on PC motherboards. Have a look at http://www.actisys.com which also has some general documentation on IRDA. 2. It is also possible to buy the transceiver component (HP sell the HDSL-1001, see http://www2.hp.com/HP-COMP/ir/hsdl1001.html) and presumably one could build one's own device to plug into the motherboard. However I suspect that there is a significant risk of damage to the motherboard due to the high current flow when the LED transmitter is on (there was an article on the SMC site with many fearsome warnings: see http://www.smsc.com/main/appnotes/an76.html). 3. Microsoft provide IRDA drivers with documentation for Win95/NT, direct links are on the Actisys site (see above). 4. IRDA transceivers with appropriate drivers normally appear as COM ports to other software (eg file transfer software). What it would be nice to know is: if one installs an Actisys (or similar) IRDA transceiver on the PC, and the Microsoft IRDA drivers, and if one sets up the HP200LX in infrared comms mode, is any useful communication possible? Somebody must at least have tried this?

As folk say it predates IRDA and will not talk to it. I've tried this, with the latest MS IR 2.0 IRDA driver - it does not even detect a device there. The palmtop does see some gibber every time the laptop polls. Having read up more on this I'm not surprised, and it can't work. But all thse IR devices can be driven differently. You can get (Not sure if from HP or SUPER) an IRDA driver for the 200LX, but that is only for printing; it will drive (they say) printers with an IRDA transceiver (hmm, might only be a receiver) - e.g. the HP Laserjet 6 range, the Laserjet 340 with the IR eye - and others, using the many add-on IR -to -parallel adapters that exist. That driver expressly says that it does not provide a generic IRDA port, i.e. you can't use it as a COM port for other software. Other software for the PC (like Intellilink) can drive the PC's IR port in SIR mode, so it *can* do file transfer. I can't remember if the connectivity pack supported IR or not. I don't know of a package that allows you a COM port on the PC routed through this SIR driver either. If you want to use IR for file transfer or redirection, you are looking for PC software to do this, I don;t think LX software currently exists - and frankly the number of people who would write a full IRDA COM driver for the LX is only matched by the number who would write a full SIR driver for the PC... The ideal would be for TRANSFILE 200 to be enhanced with IR support...but I noted with Intellilink that it clocks the IR down to 9600, where it will run a cable 'faster' - does not seem to be 115k, but 'faster'. So yes it saves carrying that serial cable, but (a) it's slow and (b) my laptop has the eye on the back only, so I have to perch the 200LX on the windowsill....

There probably aren't that many people who need to synchronize 2 LX's databases. I have 2 units, but one is just a backup and when I need to put it to use, I synchronize files but not records. This is not to say that your request is unreasonable. This is just my opinion on why there hasn't been many responses. In regards to your current method, why not just copy data from machine 2 to machine 1, then do the merge on machine 1, then copy the merged data files to machine 2. That would cut out an extra merge. - Longden On Wed, 14 Jan 1998, Bas Pruijn wrote: > I tried this before, but without any reaction. I can hardly believe I am the > only one who wants this.

I do it all the time between my HP200lx and my Compaq Armada 1590 using HP's free Transfile Win200 software. All I did to make this work was to change the IR drivers my Compaq used to the HP IR drivers on the Win95 disk. Then I fired up Transfile and bingo, there was my HP200lx's directory showing up in the window. -David P.S.

My Exp 8mb Card had a similar problem.

They said they will send a "REPLACEMENT CARD" a week ago. If the "ATZ" and the "FACTORY VALUES" fails, try emailing EXP Tech Support.

To start with your last question: After using serctl /i under dos, you should be able to access the IR port as were it com1. In the manual of my hp700lx it says about the IR port: An infrared port for wireless communications to PC's and IrDA compliant printers. The way I read this it should be able to communicate with PC (with or without IrDA standard). In the autoexec.bat file there are two lines: d:\bin\lamptsr.com /l /i d:\bin\comtsr.com /L These drivers control the IR port. As I understand these are not in the ROM of the 200LX. Maybe they are on the net. I don't know if these drivers work on the 200LX. Since I only use the IR port for communicating between the 200 and the 700.

As the contact person for a users' group in Australia and New Zealand I am currently investigating a group purchase of a reliable but cheap PCMCIA (ATA) 40Mb flashcard and have found that prices come down as low as around $234 (US).

I have not yet checked your reference but there is an important fact to remember. The IR transmitting device becomes less and less efficient as it gets hotter. Thus passing more current through it is a bad idea. However, if you put short pulses of current through the device, it does not heat up. Thus, the goal becomes making very short, high current pulses with low average energy content. This will maximize the light output, minimize the energy consumption and make the whole system work better. That is probably the principal secret in making remote transmitters that will work for several years on a single pair of AA cells. > > 3.

The main point of which seems to me to be, the IR port on the HPxxLX machines probably doesn't have the required rise and fall times to make a port that would work with most IRDA hardware. However, Mr. David Spoelstra's response seems to be the key to solving the problem. He has a Compaq computer with an IRDA port. He then uses a HP's free software called Transfile Win200 and is able to send and receive data between the Compaq and the HP. To generalize a little, you may very well be able to do IR file transfers with the IR hardware in another computer with this software. Thanks Mr. Spoelstra. By the way, where did you find this software?

Loo wrote: > Was this choice based on any experiences or facts related to power draw > and performance that you can share with us? I'm interested in a 40mb card > too. Allow me to relate an experience with Pretec flash cards. A few months ago, I paid $560 (a lot for me) for a 64MB card from Pretec. Well, the card came, and I was excited. But when I put it in, I noticed it was performing extemely poorly. A 3.6MB backup of the C: drive would take 5 minutes, 27 seconds. On another card I had, it would take 2 minutes 19 seconds. Well, naturally I was a bit put off. Why should one card be so much faster than the other? I tried everything I could think of: disabling drivers, re-fdisking and formatting the card, defragmenting, disabling light sleep mode-- nothing helped. Then after a few days I noticed that things seemed to happen faster if I held down a key while the flash card was active. So I timed it. Sure enough, the card speeded up to just as fast as any other card when I held a key down. Any key, even CTRL. I found this a bit odd, and assumed it must be a bad card. Pretec neither confirmed nor denied, so I returned it. I used the money to buy an older Pretec card from somebody else (a 30MB card, originally bought in Jan. 1997.) This card performed beautifully. No speed problem, and it was made of a good solid metal, not the plastic the 64MB card had been made of. Well, one day the card went bad, after a couple months of solid performance. So I returned it to Pretec, and they replaced it with a new-style 32MB card. This new card behaves exactly the same way as the 64MB card did: slow, slow, slow, unless I hold down a key. I have come to the conclusion that this must just be normal behavior for the Pretec cards. Can anyone think of any reason this might be happening? It works pretty much the same speed in a single or double speed palmtop. Anyway, to tie this into the original post I quoted from: anyone who has a Simple Tech card and has or has owned a Pretec card in the past: I would appreciate it if you could tell me how they compare... -- New Years special coming soon!

Actually there had been some thought of going up to 80Mb for our flashcards, but when enquiries were first started the price seemed a bit steep, though subsequently we found out about less expensive brands. Also there is a rumour that at about 80Mb and over this size, the 100/200LX does not handle the extra memory and this creates problems. So, some of us are hoping to use Stacker to increase the 40Mb, though from my limited experience this will not get up to 80Mb. I am glad you liked your brief visit to Adelaide. If you ever come again, let me know in advance and we might improve your welcome!

Sure enough, the card speeded up to Maybe this is to do with the sleep-mode cards enter, keeping a key down will send codes to stop the card going to sleep. On the subject of different card performance, I have two 5meg SanDisk cards (Oh how I wish for 40meg or more!) which perform great. A friend of mine has an 80meg Ace DoubleFlash card, we were upset to find out (after they folded) that it was stacked! He payed for and expected, 80meg. What he got was a 40meg card with stacker compression that purports to offer 80meg free space, but can run out at only 45meg if there are a lot of files and/or executables. Worse was on the horizon, a month or two ago, there was a funny rattle from his card and then, nothing... Sometimes there is contact and one can access files, but most of the time it is as if the card is not there. We think a memory chip or component has come adrift inside the card. Of course, Ace is history, Shier has not replied, (it was suggested by several people they took a lot of Ace stock and some responsibility/service/help) and worst of all, the card is actually manufactured by IBM in Japan. IBM Auckland was NO HELP... One good nugget was gleaned from this awful episode, I have stacker, but had not used it as it slows down the LX and uses memory and the space reported is only a projection and many other reasons, but while working on my friends compressed card, I was in XTree Gold, (the most wonderful program ever written for dos!) and checking the card while not in stack mode. What I discovered was this, Stacker formats the card and puts a single hidden file (stackvol) which is the compressed drive when accessed by the stacker tsr, this volume is a fairly normal 4028 bytes per cluster, 4 sectors per cluster, but the card is formatted to 512 bytes per cluster. This means that there is much less waste from slack space, but the flip side is the extra overhead in dos, the bigger fat (4 times the number of clusters!) means there is a performance hit in speed. I am running with this because I often have many small files and to illustrate, I went from 800k slack space on my 5meg card to 80k slack. I gained 720k free space by setting up for stacker and then changing the attributes for and then deleting the stackvol file. This shows what can be found when you are not looking... Also, a tip for those of you with the HP connectivity pack, you can actually use this to run apps that expect the LX video environment like HV and PE (Both wonderful programs!) Question time... I run Windows 2.0 and Word for Windows and Excel on my LX and use Stefan Peichl's sleepon to allow the keyboard on/off and the 3 minute timeout. What I want to know is if anybody has a routine/batch file/macro/tsr or executable to automate the reversing of the lcd screen. When Windows starts, it ALWAYS reverses the standard look so you have white on black instead of black on white. I use the On + / to reverse the reversal, but would like an automaton to do this. Hey, what's a computer for? IT should be doing it, not me!

This is why I posed the original question to Barry Collins...what is the criteria for determining their selection of the Simple Tech card? Many of us who have flash cards that have been relatively trouble-free feel they perform well, but this is a subjective thing. How do we know that a card is 1) not drawing alot of power relative to another card 2) is faster or slower than someone else's card. Unless someone does alot of legwork to contact each vendor and get technical specs (power draw, access speeds) I don't see how our selection could ever be anything other than by word of mouth (ie experience)...then we end up choosing a card based on its proven reliability and compatibility since we lack a common benchmark for performance and power consumption....but we may end up with a card that performs poorly compared to the one we're replacing. - 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, 15 Jan 1998 06:52:21 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Longden C.

If you have been following this list you are aware I worte a utility that takes Comma Separated Variable files from Outlook and incorporates them into the HP ADB format. The problem is that it only works on the HP-100. I think I have identified the record type that is required on the HP-200 as the type 14, Appt book Info. The problem I have is I don't know the format for this record type. It is one of the specialized appointment record types, and thus is not discussed in the 100gdb information that is available. Jorgen Wallgren gave me some basic information that was very helpful, but it did not include the format for this record. If anyone out there can help me, I would appreciate it. If anyone has tried the program, please send me some feedback on what it needs to be more useful. The program is available as APPTMAKR.ZIP on the S.U.P.E.R. site. Thanks.

Comments: cc: Jorgen Dybdahl , Neil Tungate Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Kodak DC-20 users! We have an important development. (non DC-20 users can ignore the rest). The issue of late has been how to manipulate the dc-20's raw image data directly on the LX, bypassing the desktop...to give us the ability to shoot pictures on the road, convert them to a standard format and email the picture(s) to others. The "cmttoppm.c" program listed at a website was a possible solution as it was the source for a raw image convertor to "ppm" (an image format used in Unix). Neil tungate of UK has been working on a port to DOS. I emailed the author of the program, Yoshida Hideki and he responded with a web address for what we're after (cmttoppm program converts raw images to .bmp). The correspondence is shown below. I've already downloaded the file, uncompressed and tested 2 of them on the LX. They're a bit slow (took about 2 minutes to make a BW bmp file and about 10 min to make a color one)....but hey, it's a start. Neil, the archive includes source...so you can let me know when you make improvements, right? Remember also that the cjpeg program (from the jpeg6a.zip archive at Simtel) will convert the bmp to jpg, thus saving space...and that runs on the LX also. Try and enjoy. Ah, the Internet!

I grabbed my copy from a computer swap-meet. The Word for windows is version 1.1 and although it says on the box "for 286 or better processor" it installs and runs in the LX 186 and even my antique 8088! Excel version 2.0 or 2.1 runs well on the LX, I have both. The 2.1 I bought from a store! It had been in the window since 1988!!! I don't know what it cost when newly introduced but I got it for $50.00 NZ, sorry, that was the last one! You will find that Excel 2.0/2.1 allow you to do everything with the keyboard, including formatting graphs/charts and even coloring them, although the LX will not display your selected colors! Word will do everything you install, from mail-merge to full-on desktop productions, the spell check and thesaurus are worth the install alone! Many people run Windows 3.0 in the LX because it is easier to find than 2.0 and I have tried both extensively. 2.0 has some significant advantages. The best being the taught code, it can run in less than 1/2 the disk space. 3.0 is coded to look for and utilise the routines for later processors than the LX has and so many files are redundant, but the essential ones are all bigger than 2.0 The version of Paint included in 2.0 is the best in that it runs fully with only the keyboard, allowing one to paint/draw on the LX better than in the paint included with 3.0 in which some functions can only be executed by mouse. The calculator, too, is better suited to keyboard use in version 2.0 and bringing up the Help | About screen gives key definitions. Tips for making Windows run better: set aside some space on the C: drive and edit the win.ini thusly, Ýpif¨ swapdisk=c: swapsize=500 (or whatever you can afford!) I also put in the following, ÝMicrosoft Word¨ Conversion=no This means I can open text/ascii/c/h/inc/pov files in Word and not have them converted, ie: they are saved in native format after editing. If you have enough disk space, you can install all the tutorial and help files for Word & Excel, but be prepared for some long wait-states on running these tutorials! Yes, it IS possible to run Word and Excel at the same time, just remember to minimize the one in the background and set the MS-Dos Executive (or Program Manager) to minimize on run, as this saves memory. I have had Word & Excel running with three iterations of cardfile and two notepads and the clock and calculator and the appointment manager/calendar all iconized and ready to pop up at the next Alt + Esc | Alt + F9 Most necessary for happy Windowing is Stefan Peichl's sleepon, which is on www.palmtop.net/super.html This allows the use of the On/Off switch, as Windows grabs the keyboard, disabling it! Without sleepon, you have to close all apps and exit Windows to turn the machine off and the three minute timeout, doesn't! I hope you find these programs, because I personally prefer using these taught little numbers on my palmtop rather than the over-blown, bloated excuses foisted in 95/97/98...

I get those sometimes when I connect to my Win95 desktop. Files can't be deleted or the various commands say the file doesn't exist. Get a copy of DELTREE.EXE from DOS (I think it's a DOS 6.x command, but I may be wrong). My copy is 11,111 bytes long. The command allows you to delete an entire directory...contents and all. It's what I use on undeletable files in a subdirectory. Just type deltree /y c:\goner and the "goner" subdirectory is ....well gone. - 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, 15 Jan 1998 19:12:37 EST Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Cavendishl Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Cavendishl Organization: AOL (http://www.aol.com) Subject: Re: WTB HP 620LX?

Your suggestion of a standard file available to everyone would be an improvement, as was Brendan's use of the echo to generate a carriage-return. Here's my suggestion...this batch file copies a 100k help file from the d: drive to the local drive, then copies it 10 times, basically resulting in a read/write of 1mb. You have to run it from DOS and switch to the drive you want to test before running: @echo off copy d:\_sys\c123us.hlp test.dat echo.|time copy test.dat test2.dat copy test.dat test2.dat copy test.dat test2.dat copy test.dat test2.dat copy test.dat test2.dat copy test.dat test2.dat copy test.dat test2.dat copy test.dat test2.dat copy test.dat test2.dat copy test.dat test2.dat echo.|time del test.dat del test2.dat The above test runs in about 3.46 secs on my speed-doubled 200LX's C: drive and about 11.87 secs on my Kingston 20mb flash card. Total bytes copied is 1,023,810. Well...unsophisticated you asked for.... - Longden PS - I'm still mostly interested in the power comsumption tho.

Have you tried deleting it from the built-in file-manager, "Filer"? It is my expirence that file managers generally have better luck deleting wierd named files.

It is best to have some free on the C: drive too, for room so Windows can create swap/temp files as it runs. I don't think the keyboard will run as standard with windows, I use RemKey occasionally, to use my PC keyboard to input to the LX, and that works fine in most of the apps I use with the exception of Windows! Windows takes control of the keyboard, hence the need to run Stefan Peichl's sleepon, to regain it. However, RemKey and Windows don't talk with or without sleepon... On the subject of keyboards, I would love to have a std 102 key PC keyboard plugging into my LX. I use RemKey, but that needs a great big PC sitting there humming away, with it's drive & fans snorting as I type into my silent LX. I want to do away with the PC in the middle and connect directly to the LX. Is this possible? I prefer the full-sized keyboard to the Newton, because of the separate page up/down and arrow keys and the separate numeric keypad. I had thought, if somebody could get it running, one could have an adapter for the LX plug to a std din or ps/2 keyboard socket and one could use any PC keyboard that was free! Idea #2, maybe an aluminum plate that could hold the LX in place above the keyboard...

I have called the collection "LXPPP". The first goal of LXPPP is that it should be possible to connect to your ISP via PPP and transfer email between your POP mailbox and your HP200LX without having to exit from the System Manager. The second goal of LXPPP is that you should be able to do this without paying anyone any money for the software. The third goal of LXPPP is that you should be able to modify and recompile the software on the HP200LX (assuming you've got Borland C++ 2.0 and a large enough flash card). The current functionality allows you to connect to your ISP via a PPP packet driver, upload outgoing news and mail from your Palmtop News Reader (PNR) reply directory and download incoming mail to your PNR spool directory. I hope to include a complete set of utilities for all those things you're used to doing under Unix (like ping, ftp, telnet, etc.) - hopefully I can get the source code to these. There is not much documentation as yet, but I have included the source code. For those of you who are very brave, this package will allow you to retrieve your POP mail from a DOS box inside System Manager using less than 150k of memory, and then read it using pnrti and pnr. See my web site for details. Remember, this is only for the brave amongst you - there is not much documentation, you will need to know how to install a PPP packet driver and how to configure a WATTCP.CFG file, and I will not be answering questions until the beta release. If you have never used PPP on your palmtop before, then you may find this very difficult to install and use (on the other hand, you might get it to work first time and be completely satisfied). Don't expect to be able to recompile from the source code just yet. You need a few other packages to link against (I have links to them on my web site, but there are some modifications required which I have to make into patches).

If you can't get it to work, then you'll just have to wait for the beta release, which will include instructions for installing the PPP packet driver and configuring the WATTCP.CFG file.

I think that I am more interested in knowing what is inside the card. Some of the flash ram cards IIRC have limited lives due to the memory chips used. If we knew what parts were used, we could go to the makers data sheets and learn what they claim for the number of erase/write cycles. Does this interest anyone?

Well...unsophisticated you asked for.... My system is a speed-doubled 8MB 200LX with an IBM 20MB Flash card. All tests were run with the AC adapter attached. I use JAM to make an F: and changed the "echo.|time" to "timer" as I am running 4DOS and don't really want to do any time math this early in the morning! DRIVE TIME C: 3.68 seconds (same number of seconds every time) A: ~10.02 seconds (not same, averaged over 3 runs) F: ~40.21 seconds (not same, averaged over 3 runs) Wow. I never realized the huge time penalty for using JAM! I think I'll have to get a bigger flash card. How does Stacker stack up? It is also intriguing to me that the flash card did not give the same results when running the exact same test on the exact same hardware in the exact same way. (Well, almost exact... I played a bit more while typing this in and found that the longer you wait to rerun the test the longer the time. The average is more like ~38 seconds when running the batch file right after each other.) jaime -- jviehweg | Lucent Technologies @ Jaime A.

Consuel, you may run win 3.0 (or earlier) quite easily from an icon in the sysmgr using maxdos (available on www.palmtop.net). My setup serves up ~543k to windows using this method and i also serve it about 400k of ems. Expanded mem is not of very much use to windows itself but excel 2.1 and word 1.1 both make very good use of it! I would also like to reinforce the point made in an earlier post that the thesaurus and speller in word alone make it worth the effort especially if you use the palmtop to do more involved work than is capable with memo or other text editors. I have generally been amazed at what can be done on the palmtop using word and althought it runs a bit slower than excel it will not have you staring at the hourglass very long on a 2x machine. As for me, excel 2.1 has been a gem - it is a far more powerful application than the 123 in the rom and gives mobile number-crunchers some very impressive functionality...

However, given a little thought, it might be very possible to make an IR device that would take an ordinary PC keyboard and communicate by IR with the HPxxLX. If someone could either dig out or tell me where to find out about the IR port on our computers, I could probably do the hardware up to making a working sample if someone is willing to do the software. If there is enough interest, it might be possible to make some quantity.

If even a small I like this idea. Create a benchmark program and record the comparative results. It should also include... pc type 95/100/200, pc speed up, if any and what type flash card manufacture flash card model and size and any other pertinent identifying info stacked, if any and by what program current cluster size owner that ran the program what else? Now about the program, what should it do? There should be measurements for Read as well as Write. Current drain would also be nice but most people won't be able to create a setup where it could be measured. Also, since it'll be running on a flash disk already in use it should be mostly insensitive to what the owner has already put on it. And lastly someone should provide a bit of web space to hold the results and they would also have to spend a bit of time updating it occasionally. If someone could guess in advance the manufacturer that might come out of this looking the best they might be contacted to see if they'd care to contribute to cost of the web space. (I don't thing the maker of a poor performing card would be interested for long.) Cheers...

I'm using this opportunity to thank them both, and I'm amazed it still isn't on SUPER site. After typing the magic words "LXSTAT M G0", a miracle-AutoCad working! I tried it on versions 2.6 and 10:both of them work, but v2.6 is faster, probably because it doesn't require the emulator. I have one question: did anyone succeed to connect some pointing device to a palmtop? Mouse, touch-pad or something like that. I made F1015A cable and it enables good communication between the palmtop and the desktop computer. After that I made the null-modem according to the next scheme: 1-1 2-3 3-2 4-6 5-5 6-4 7-8 8-7 9-9 When I put it all together, and loaded the mouse driver, everything was working (directions up and down, and all the keys), only the cursor couldn't move left and right. Then I used another scheme: 1-4 2-3 3-2 4-1 4-6 5-5 6-4 7-8 8-7 This time directions left and right worked, and the ones for up and down didn't. I heard that some of the listers were luckier than me. Where do I go wrong? Is it the cable, or the null-modem? Maybe it requires a different mouse (I used a MS Mouse) or a different mouse driver? Please, help me and be quick, becuse my soldering iron is likely to explode. Thanks in advance.

Ian, Just out of curosity, in what ways do you find Excel 2.1 more powerful than 123? Are you talking about functionality or ease-of-use? Because the latter can be better addressed with WinCE, I would think. If you're talking about the former, I would like to hear specifics...maybe I should be running Excel also as I make fairly frequent use of 123. - 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: Sat, 17 Jan 1998 08:24:33 +1300 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , katana@CLEAR.NET.NZ Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Lawrence Subject: Re: Excel 2.0/2.1 Comments: cc: cameronc@IX.NETCOM.COM On 1998-01-16 HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU said to katana@clear.net.nz >With all this talk recently about Windows, Word, Excel, etc., on the >palmtop, I went back through my old diskettes and found my original >copies of Excel, versions 2.00 and 2.10.

Excel 2.0/2.1 is happy to run from any drive, unlike Word, which writes the installed drive into the code and can trip you up if you don't use assign. As Excel has a stripped runtime kernel of MS Windows 2.0, it can be installed in a truly minimalist fashion. I recommend installing it on a PC by first setting the path to only \dos (or whatever your dos directory is called) so that there is less chance of the install program finding your Windows 3.1/3.11/95 and installing there. I usually install to a directory like c:\excel and then use the connectivity cable or a PC card reader to transfer the \excel directory and sub-directories (with the tutorial and demo files) lock-stock-and-barrel over to the palmtop card. >I also ran across diskettes for MS Project - this one I have the Oooo, be still my beating heart!

I don't think Windows had truetype fonts until version 3.1. If you want truetype font functionality in 3.0 you need to get something like Adobe Type Manager, which enables you to use postscript(?) fonts.

I don't find it so strange (but it is if the following isn't correct). Isn't holding down a key basically the same as forcing it to disable light sleep, which is commonly referred to as "resting between keystrokes"? By holding down the CTRL key there are no keystrokes to rest between, and thus the machine runs as fast as it can. Have you tried the test without pressing CTRL, but with light sleep disabled? I'm curious to know how long it takes. (A program called LXstat that can enable/disable light sleep.

It runs at the same speed. It's just bizarre! I'm thinking it must be a power saving mode of the card itself. But what good is power-saving if the card takes 10 times longer?

Anyway, I think it was suggested to try this with the hardware double speed up (with the crystal). I'm wondering if a 4xspeed LX was the result? Also, does anyone know how these programs work, or whether they apply to any program - such as a compiler - or do they just speed up screen access or something. Thank you very much!

Excel seems certainly easier to learn (and remember) than 123, but what added functionality does Excel give you that makes it more powerful than 123? I doubt you're referring to ease of use, since WinCE would probably fit the bill better in that area.

Same thing with the AC adapter attached. And there's no driver loaded. It's just a standard ATA compatible card.

Go figure. > The pretec card is slow as hell. Any other ideas ? Yes, it will increase many times in speed if you hold down a key. Disabling lite sleep won't work; you have to actually hold down a key. CTRL is the best key to hold down as it won't fill up the keyboard buffer. (ALT would work too...) There has been some speculation that Pretec cards are going into some kind of sleep mode between keypresses, but Pretec has not confirmed this or offered a solution. -- New Years special coming soon!

Longden, there is no easy way to continue this thread without opening a pandora's box but i shall try. First off let me say that i have been weaned on 123 and used it from version 2.2 thru to version 4 for windows but after switching to excel about 3 years ago i am now a bit rusty especially with the one available in the palmtop's rom so please excuse any oversights i make. On the question of ease-of-use or functionality i would have to say: both. As for Pocket Excel: it doesn't even come remotely close to what can be acheived with excel 2.1 on the 200lx... As a matter of fact you maybe quite surprised to see just how many features had already found themselves into this version back in July '88! I live by a spreadsheet. Practically all my work (every aspect of it) goes into a spreadsheet and i also need to move lots of data between my palmtop and win95 desktop. That said you may appreciate right away that the actual presentation of my sheets are of key importance since many have to be presented to customers and clients. Excel 2.1's superior graphing is of great importance to me in particular because almost every sheet has to present various views of my data, forecasts, pricing etc.. The graphing functions of the palmtop's 123 doesn't even come close to matching excel 2.1. Quite apart from the graphs, when you need to manage data to be presented, formatting is a valuable asset - in this department there is no contest whatever between the two. I make use of every tool at my disposal including: alignment of numerical inputs, borders, justification, row heights, fonts, shading etc.. In addition to the obvious advantages above, excel is easier for me to use in developing my work employing its function pasting with and w/o arguments on the statusline - i use this quite often as most of my sheets are loaded with functions and formulae. As we are discussing formulae this is yet another area of superiority also. I can debug a sheet far quicker using excel due to is clever formula precedents and dependents functions. Sorting data in excel works better for me too because i can specify 1st, 2nd and *3rd* sortkeys all at once. Another item i consider more powerful and useful to me is the way in which excel can parse data. Again 123 offers little contest here. An absolutely essential feature of excel for me also is the way in which it handles csv files! My accounting software (peachtree) often requires me to export data, massage it and import the finished product back into the program. This is *very* important to me and excel reads and writes csv's just as well as a native excel format! Try doing that w/123. Well actually it can be done with the proper add-in but not nearly as well as excel does it on its own. All round i find excel's way of doing things has grown to fit my lifestyle perfectly (or should that be the other way round ) and does not impose some of the limitations and annoyances i have with 123 ie: having to remove the title settings before going into the title area to edit an entry or not being able to hide rows. On the question also of reading and writing other non-native formats 123 comes up way short... Excel 2.1 can easily read and write wks, wk1, dbf2, dbf3, csv, sylk and other file formats. Getting an excel file into 123 is a nogo without first converting *outside* of 123 as you are aware (the dreaded "not a valid worksheet" prompt still gives me nightmares ). To be honest when i look at the two programs its hard to imagine that they were both of more of less the same era... tho i must admit that being a windows program gives excel an unfair advantage at the starting line (some may consider that a disadvantage ).... Users of @BASE clearly have different needs than i do and for these and similar uses, 123 perhaps cannot easily be challenged by Excel. Nonetheless i maintain the highest regard for the 123 in the rom and haven't a single negative remark for users who select to use it - i still use it myself for a quick calculation mainly because it jumps up much faster than i can bring excel 2.1 to life - but it is relegated to only mundane tasks on my machine i'm afraid...

I think the ability to open multiple files is un-missable, also, the print-preview is so much faster than wasting paper with 123 or tediously calculating character counts and columns and stuff. Graphing/Charting is better suppoeted, one can have the graph open and tiled/overlapping the data and enter data & see the effect (almost) immediately. Color is easy to work with, although it requires a mental set to keep an "idea" of what you are doing with the colors. The Database/Form mode is far easier to setup with Excel. Supports saving the "Workspace" allowing you to return to exactly where you left off including all files and windows and charts arranged as when saved. Dynamic linking to Word... BTW, I just bought some manuals at our local computer fair and in the pile was a price list, dated 13 Nov 1989 and the list for Excel 2.1 in Auckland at that time was $1,295.00 + GST so I guess my copy at $50.00 was a great price?

I think what makes sense is to use Info Select to throw in random data on the run, then later organise it within Info Select, then later when time allows, use the HP Notetaker, phonebook and database to "hold" the information in a structured way. However, I realise that doing that kind of defeats the object of having Info Select in that you can't "instantly" retrieve all slugs of information based on a key word(s) from the HP's built - in applications like you can in Info Select. I'm sure that Info Select AND the HP200LX built - in applications probably complement each other and can be used in parallel. OR............. would I be better advised transferring all the data I have in the HP200LX applications into Info Select and ditching the HP built - in applications totally? In other words, is it best just to rely on Info Select TOTALLY for all your information management needs, perhaps just using the diary function on the HP which to my mind, is better for appointment setting and "to - do" management than Info Select? Any views based on your experiences?

Since I own a 4MB model, and knew that it's just a newer 2MB model with a 2MB daughterboard already plugged, I opened it in order to see what's inside. I must mention that I own the developer's manual, and despite it's not very clear about this point, it gives useful hints about the memory organization scheme. My 200LX has a 1Mx16, 3.3V, 1K refresh page (non-EDO) DRAM chip on board. The daughterboard has another chip OEMed by IBM (confusing marking), but it's also the same kind of chip. Important: the daughterboard is designed for *TWO* chips, I mean that there's place to solder another chip, but removing the green protection layer that is on the pads would be needed. Thus, just soldering another chip on the daughterboard would give me a total of 6MB, just like the 4MB memory upgrade. I think that Times2Tech has a missing product in their list: a memory chip for 4MB model owners. According to the developer's manual, the HP200LX has four RAS lines, and, with a total of 6MB only three of them are in use. This means, that a fourth memory chip can be added for a total of 8MB, but only two RAS lines are available in the expansion connector, so, the RAS signal of a thrid expansion chip on a three chip expansion board would have to be connected by means of a wire to the RAS line on the main board. This is obviously what happens with the 8MB memory upgrade from Times2Tech. In a e-mail exchange with a person from one of the memory upgrades retailers, he mentioned that they had successfully upgraded HP200LXs to 10MB and 18MB (*CAN* you imagine it ?), but it required serious working on the (main?)board, so they decided it was not practical to offer it. I've been thinking about this, and concluded that the only way to do this is using 64MB (megabits) DRAM, organized as 4Mx16 (this is, 8 megabytes per chip). In this case, the extra address lines required are not present in the expansion connector (just like the missing RAS signal), and some wiring to the mainboard would be needed. With one chip, you'd get a 10MB machine, with two chips, you'd get a 18MB machine. But it's not so simple. With DRAM, the address lines are multiplexed. First, the row is selected, and then the column. A 4MB space address can be organized as 4096 rows x 1024 columns or as 8192 rows x 512 columns. When DRAM refresh happens, the refresh address is given for one row. The 1MBx16 chips currently used, are organized as 1024 rows x 1024 columns, this is, ten address lines for rows and ten address lines for columns. All the columns in a row form what is called a page. Since there are ten address lines for columns, the page size is 1K. So, I guess that the DRAM address generation in the HP200LX is for 1K pages and cannot be changed. If this is true, the 4Mx16 chip organized as 4096 rows x 1024 columns would do for memory upgrades. If all this is true, the following expansions would be possible for the HP200LX (hold your breath): 1- 2MB onboard + 8MB = 10MB(one 4Mx16 chip) 2- 2MB onboard + 16MB = 18MB (two 4M x 16 chips) 3- 2MB onboard + 24MB = 26MB (three 4M x 16 chips, in case they fit) (1) and (2) would require wiring A10 and A11 lines from the mainboard to the daughterboard. (3) would require, in addition, wiring the unused RAS line. It would also be possible replacing the main board 2MB (1MBx16) chip by a 8MB (4MBx16) chip, since the pinouts are very similar. But NOT equal, cutting at least two PCB tracks and wiring them to different pins would be needed, as well as wiring some other pins. This would definitely not be for beginners, but just imagine having a 32MB HP200LX. Isn't it worth the work ?. By the way, this work would be exactly the same required to replace the 2MB chips on the daughterboard by 8MB ones. Otherwise, design of a new daughterboard would be needed (quite easy anyway). The problems, (and hereby the questions) are that: 1- I don't know the DRAM address generation schema of the Hornet chip. Would be enough knowing that it is fixed for 1K page. 2- I don't know where are located in the main board the address lines A10, A11, and the unused RAS. This should be possible to guess, since the developer's manual gives a list of all Hornet chip pins (but without pin number !!!), assuming they're correctly ordered, and the location of many of them can be resolved by inspection of the expansion board connector routing. ANY comments, suggestions, or hints are welcome. Regards. Nacho. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 17 Jan 1998 10:28:03 -0600 Reply-To: speters@kdsi.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stan Peters Subject: Re: Do you know how to calculate....Programming.

Micro Logic's Info Select (IS) and the shareware Flexpad work on similar principles (input text info into windows and instant retrieval of information) but I believe IS is much more powerful and feature rich. Micro Logic's web page is www.miclog.com. They don't feature info on their old DOS version any more but the page has an e-mail address where you can ask them for information. They were very good with me and faxed me a description of the software plus some reviews. This software dates to around 1990 I think. Regards Dr Peter Maddern Product Developer North Wales, UK.

I still use 2.0 on a LX200 with 3.0 under Win95 on a desktop. I use the HP calendar program for appointments. The drawback to IS (2.0 at least) if you need to output the information in a sorted or orderly fashion. It can be done but it takes more planning and effort when first entering. My only effort at separating data was to have several IS databases such as work, home or a particular project.

I use the built-in apps for their intended purpose - phone book, and appointments. I use MEMO for meeting notes, and the database to store information on web sites, restaurants, and other topics for which I can easily define fields and a structure.. IS is great for unstructured, randomly generated information. Within IS I have created databases for each month, a general TODO, and various subject-sepcific topics. I enter phone messages, things to do, reminders, etc into the TODO file. As I complete them, I copy them to the monthly file and sometimes also to a subject specific file (*.wd). In that way I have a record of what I did for periodic reviews of work accomplishments, etc, as well as lots of information about specific issues, topics, vendors. Under the DOS version of IS there are limits on the size of the database files, so you almost have to create a number of them. The program is very quick at switching among the database files, so having a few or a lot really doesn't affect performance. Using the import/export functions of IS, I sometimes export information to be used in meeting notes, a memo, or from those back into IS. I keep IS running at all times, and shift between it and the built-ins using the blue keys. The CTL/Lotus 123 key moves you to any DOS app that is running, while the others move you to the built-ins. I have found IS in combination with the built-in functions to be a powerful combination. One note of caution - make sure you back up information regularly. I have never had a crash, or any problem, but you create a storehouse of information that is too important to lose! (This isn't only important to IS users, of course.) I'd be interested in hearing from other IS users on their particular uses for the program, and any tricks on combining them with the built-in programs.

No idea. I'll start checking dealers next week, but think it will be much more easy to get the chips from a memory upgrade for a portable computer. These upgrades, use to be 3.3V parts, and use low power TSOP-packaged chips (for space saving), which is required in the HP200LX. All you have to do is find a memory upgrade that uses the 4Mx16 DRAM chips. I guess 32MB and larger modules must actually use them. Regards.

All I could guess from the pictures is: 1- The upgrades use 4MBx16 64MB DRAM (guessed from the number of chips and package size and type). 2- The 32MB upgrade require main board memory to be removed, just as I had figured out. 3- The 32MB upgrade requires soldering of four wires. Just as I expected. Address lines A10 and A11, and the two RAS lines missing in the expansion connector. 4- The 32MB upgrade has two chips on each side of the board. I think this makes the board slightly too thick. 5- And the BAD news: apart from the DRAM chips, there are two more chips on the daughterboard. No idea of what parts they are nor their function, but you can be sure that if they're there they're needed. I expected to need nothing else but the DRAM chips. I planned to get the memory chips probably from a notebook memory upgrade (as I mention in another message, those use to be 3.3V, low power, TSOP(II) package), but they're not as cheap as to just buy one without being reasonably sure that the upgrade will work. By the way, another matter is the PCB. I've build extremely tiny-tracked PCBs at my company, but think that this one is out of my reach. Maybe wire-wrapping everything..., or modifying a 4MB memory upgrade board (this would provide space for 'only' two chips, a total of 18MB). I've checked the pinouts of the parts and some modifications will be required, but it'll be always easier that wire-wrapping everything. > So, it can be done! This means, at least, that the A11 and A10 lines are available. > Would be great. All that memory! Would free up the card slot! > Unlimited EMM (well up to about 9MB for Software Carousel). I would be glad with just 8MB of EMM memory and all the rest for disk space ;) Regards.

I've a 4MB hp200lx, and the battery life seems pretty good to me! But I can't compare, of course - have those with upgrade perceived any difference?

So we have to find it on a full install of dos 5.0 or the install disks. Setver loads into memory via the config.sys and provides a table of programs and dos versions reported to the. It is actually not too hard to manipulate this table, removing the programs we will never use and thereby releasing more dos environment space. Setver will enable you to run Excel, but when running, you won't be able to turn the machine off or have it time-out after 3 minutes!

I run sleepon in a batchfile to load it first, before Excel/Word/Windows and make sure it unloads directly after, as it has a side-effect that can cause grief. It allows one to shut the machine off almost instantly, so it can interfere with disk-writes if you press Off while the palmtop is saving a file.

Actually, according to datasheets, power consumtion of 64Mbit DRAMs is about 100mA (maximum) active and 500uA (maximum) in stand-by mode. Increasing the number of DRAM chips will only increase noticeably stand-by power consumption, but active power will almost be the same, because just one chip can be active at the same time. Of course, 256Mbit DRAMs will be more power-hungry, but not four times more, just a bit more (the CMOS process is smaller, and power consumption per cell decreases, so, though there are four times more cells, each one consumes less).

I am not familiar with Info Select but for years now, I have been using the free text retrieval program asksam for DOS (version 5.11). Right now I'm using it on my 200lx. It's great for jotting down and retrieving unstructured information, but has relational, hypertext capabilities as well. It takes up no more than 250 K in minimal configuration (135 K when dieted) and is real fast. >Under the DOS version of IS there are limits on the size of the database >files, so you almost have to create a number of them.

Records in askSam are 20 lines but can be combined to documents that are unlimited in askSam, so are files (maximum 4 Gigabyte, no typing error). Files can be linked by hyperlinks and multiple files searched simultaneously. Fields are facultative, basically unlimited and can be defined contextually, even, if need be, added "a posteriori". >Using the import/export functions of IS, I sometimes export information to >be used in meeting notes, a memo, or from those back into IS. AskSam outputs data in ASCII. Comma delimited or fixed position output is possible too, bur requires some - rather simple - programming in askSam's own command language (contextual online help available). AskSam provides some basic computing of numeric data and rather extensive boolean, vicinity and truncated searches. Using the import utility, askSam can read comma delimited or fixed position files into a user defined template. Ascii files can be incorporated on the fly, with or without record delimiters. All files can be indexed by fields and/or by individual words, to speed up performance. Information about this DOS program is available at www.asksam.com. Hope this is useful to someone out there.

I hear stacker discussed all the time and have been running it flawlessly on a 10 meg (stacked to 20) Acecard, and on a PCMCIA 170 meg hard disk. Recently I bought a PC110 (love it) running dos and windows 95. While looking to stack the 340 Meg pcmcia hard drive, I discovered that DoubleSpace is supported by Win95, while Stacker is not. The methods of both seem identical. A huge file (volume) that becomes a virtual (logical) disk. In the interest of compatibility, I may prefer to run DoubleSpace only. Are speeds and compressability equivalent? How about dependability? Has anyone had good or bad experiences with either? That then got me to wondering why I hadn't stacked my HP200 C: drive. After MUCH trial and error, I got it Stacked. Sure enough, almost 5 Megs free. But the speed dropped back to where it had been prior to my X2 speed upgrade. I think I will unstack C: in favor of the speed. 32 Megs on C: with the speed would be nice though!! Meanwhile, I would like seldom used, but many of them, files on A: to be compressed. Thanks for any recommendations on which scheme to use.

That is "resting bewteen keystrokes". What it means is that when you're not typing it will lower the amount of work the CPU does and thus conserve power. I don't know how it "rests" either it checks whether you are typing or it checks whether the current program is polling the keyboard (if it is, it is idle, if it is not it is hard at work). The latter is what Desqview does, and it seems to make most sense - for well behaved programs aynway. But as I said, I'm not sure what it does, only that disabling it will use more power and in some cases make the LX run faster :-) I believe it is always running in fast mode when an AC adapter is used. This was what the 95LX did. > > and the screen turned off I > > get ~23% speed increase over a stock LX! > > Well done! > > 23% is pretty cool! > That's equivalent to taking a 200MHz Pentium to 246MHz!! :-) Incidentally, this figure might not be correct. I did it with a stopwatch since the timer was acting up - maxcpu's fault. Looks like I'll have to install BYTE's good ol' benchmarking program.

Try prowling around http://www.ziffdavis.com. I ran across it, but never joined up since I get the ones I care about on CD-ROM. You could also try the individual magazines, although it's harder to do a full text search on all of them individually than it would be collectively. Don't expect them to go too far back, though. Byte, SysAdmin, PC Mag, Dr. Dobbs, Software Development, MSJ, CUJ are ones I know are on their own CD-ROM. Info Select charges US$1250 for the past year of about 100-150 magazines articles or abstracts on CD-ROM, also hardware & software product listings. Byte & HP Journal are two I know have on-line complete back issues. Many of the other good ones have at least the columns on line. Nobody else can match the National Geographic full magazine since birth (including ads) CD-ROM though.

It comes with a host of utilities, including ---->> STACKER 3.12 <<---- and some good file transfer software, along with ---->> PERSONAL NETWARE <<---- From what I can figure out, Caldera bought it from Novell. They distribute it free for personal and educational use, and they have the kernel source available as well. I dunno, but I've been happy for it. I'm not affiliated with Caldera, by the way, just a happy user. Maybe it was because I switched to it after a nearly fatal encounter with Windows 95, but I don't think so.

Setver? It's worth a shot. I don't know about you, but I'd _much_ rather be running Stacker than DxxxSpace. In fact, I am running Stacker instead of DxxxSpace. I thought it was pretty funny when DoubleSpace was first released and they didn't trap all the drive interrupts, so stuff got corrupted quickly and easily. Typical software company, release stuff before it's ready, but that was too soon. Oh well.... Seagate says, "We're going to release a 100G, 3.5" hard drive. The only problem is, we don't have servo voice coils that are that accurate, so we'll have to skip that. You'll have to move the heads yourself if you want something." ;) Ian Butler Advanced Software Systems, Inc.

On Wed, 14 Jan 1998 Longden Loo queried my tentative selection of a Simple Technology flashcard:- > Was this choice based on any experience or facts related to power > draw and performance that you can share with us? I'm interested in > a 40Mb card too. On Thu, 15 Jan 1998, Longden rightly pointed out his concerns over the selection criteria, his comments being worth repeating:- > Many of us who have flash cards that have been relatively > trouble-free feel they perform well, but this is a subjective thing. How do we know > that a card is 1) not drawing a lot of power relative to another > card 2) is faster or slower than someone else's card. > Unless someone does a lot of legwork to contact each vendor and get > technical specs (power draw, access speeds) I don't see how our > selection could ever be anything other than by word of mouth (ie > experience)...then we end up choosing a card based on its proven > reliability and compatibility since we lack a common benchmark for > performance and power consumption....but we may end up with a card > that performs poorly compared to the one we're replacing. I could not agree more and just wish that the specifications as mentioned above were readily available. From memory (forgive the pun), I have only seen two sets of technical specifications in print and they related to cards which are outside the price range that others in our group would entertain (eg. Sandisk). Although price was not the single arbiter, it certainly was one of the most important and when combined with memory capacity it made the 40Mb size seem to be the best value (other things being equal, of course). Added to this was the potential to use a stacking system to increase the card's value without going over 80Mb, since there have been reports of problems with storage capacities over this limit. As you have probably all gathered, most of the rest of the selecting had to rely on information gleaned from reading and from messages to this mailing list and to our local list. I have sent messages to more than one supplier/manufacturer for technical details but without response. Also, one of our members has used a Simple Technology card and although not able to provide figures has not noted any problems or significant decrease in speed of writing/reading to it as compared to using the C: drive. Once I have the address of a supplier (on recommendation), I intend to ask more of the technical questions, including money-back guarantee, discount on bulk sales etc. (though ours is a very small group). If the supplier is prepared to nominate satisfied customers, so much the better, as I can then make contact. It is certainly not plain sailing, however, as just when potential problems have been checked and seem to have disappeared, another arises. For instance, just recently on Thu, 15 Jan 1998, Martin Sebastian wrote:- > I've just bought a new 40mb Simple Technologies card a few months > ago.

As I have said elsewhere, we really need a consumers' association to investigate such things; but since in the broader scheme of things these flashcards are rather more specialist items, no official organisation would find it worthwhile to get involved. If they were as common as floppy disks, the price would probably be in keeping and we could afford not to worry about other details. The ultimate answer may lie in our own hands. It has recently been suggested that members of the HPLX Mailing List should adopt a uniform protocol for testing and comparing card speeds, for instance. Good idea! Anyway, I am awaiting further information from a local user and also hoping to get feedback from current readers, including the name of suppliers of Simple Technology flashcards, before progressing to the next stage. I shall keep you posted. There must be information somewhere -- after all, it's on the cards! So, if anyone has any relevant information, please commit it to print, thanks.

By default, at cold reset, "the plug-in card memory is normally set at a value of 3 wait states. "However, for SRAM cards, the chips are almost as fast as the built-in "RAM and so they can operate much faster than three wait states. This "program decreases the wait states to zero for plug-in RAM and zero for "the ROM chips too. Since I don't own a Flash Card..it has not been "tested with that type of memory, which is typically much slower than "SRAM and might actually need three wait states. Therefore, I suggest "that it only be run on systems that use the SRAM cards and NOT by Flash "Card users... " "The effect of this program is to speed up the disk access time and file "transfer rate for loading and unloading files from the A: Drive. To "test its effect: just compare the amount of time the little hourglass "symbol stays on the screen during file loading before and after running "this program. I noticed a difference. You can also measure the speedup "by checking how long a 100LX phonebook "find" operation takes. " "It has also been shown that the ROM change of wait states improves the "performance of execution of the System manager application code and "improves the performance of the 100LX much more than changing the "plug-in card SRAM wait states. There has been some concern expressed as "to the systems' stability when running the ROMs at zero wait states: "the jury is still out....let us know if your system crashes after "running turbo.com because the information will be valuable.

These can be used with any palmtop with the addition of a PC Card adapter. The cards are dual voltage (3.3/5.0 volt) and Auto Sense the platform in which they are used. Viking is located a short distance from our Belmont Shore office. Viking's cards are superior to those made by SanDisk for three reasons. First, the read/write speeds are much faster due to Viking's use of the Lexar www.lexr.com controller. Transfer speeds in burst mode are up to 10MB/second from host to interface for Viking vs. 6MB for SanDisk. Typical, continuous write speeds are 750Kb per second or Viking vs. 450-500Kb for SanDisk. Second, power consumption is lower in sleep and write mode; about 30% less than SanDisk. Viking's power use is 20-32 mHa in 3.3 volt write mode vs. 32-45 mHa for SanDisk. Third, we have much higher capacity cards than SanDisk (32Mb at present; 45Mb in late Jan98) at a cost/MB that is 50% less than SanDisk. Our prices for Viking's cards, including the PC Card adapter, are 24Mb/$209 32Mb/$269. The 45Mb is expected to be priced ~ $339. We provide a 5-yr warranty from Viking and a 30-day money back exchange policy. WE SHIP ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. VISA/MC preferred.

Apologies if I've missed anyone or garbled their information. The original test batch file also follows, for anyone else who wants to try it....you just have to save it to disk, edit out the notes and run it. The test uses a file found on all 200LX's, so I don't know if it's valid for 100/95LX members, and as I noted below, the test results may be influenced by the use of AC vs battery, cluster size and disk fragmentation (as pointed out by several users). The sampling below is too small to make but the most obvious conclusions: 1) Disk access is faster on internal drive, C: 2) Disk access is faster on AC vs battery (unless fresh). 3) David Sargent needs to tape down his Ctrl key .

Ah, if only it were that simple... :-)What we ought to do, is come up with an actual benchmark program that would measure the CPU speed, then bench the internal RAM and the flash card. That way, with the CPU speed rating, we'd have an easy way of telling how fast the card really was, and how much was influenced by the speed of the machine. -- New Years special coming soon!

Before the upgrade I was getting over a month of usage on a set. I received the unit Friday from NSW and the batteries were dead. New batteries would not turn the unit on so I took all 3 batteries out for 30 minutes and started over. Powered up fine. Restored my C drive and went to work. Sunday morning, wouldn't turn on. Checked the batteries: dead. Data lost. Removed all batteries for 30 minutes, put in new ones and booted up. Data lost. 18 hours later battery indicater is showing 1/2 level. Com port power is off. Any ideas? I hate to send it back again as I sent the unit over the holidays for the upgrade and they sent it back without upgrading it, so I'm already out the upgrade plus 2 FedEx shipments to California.

Have you tried giving them a call? What warranty did they offer on the work? I had mine upgraded (T2T tho) for speed and memory and battery longevity dropped from 2-3 weeks to 1.5-2 weeks, tho I understand most of that was due to speed upgrade. I seem to remember some posters mentioning a drop in battery life due to electrical problems from an upgrade (not necessarily NSW) and had to be returned for repairs. Tough luck...unless NSW picks up the cost of shipping. Upgrades can truly be a crap-shoot these days, with the downtime and shipping costs :( - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 19 Jan 1998 10:08:15 -0600 Reply-To: speters@kdsi.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stan Peters Subject: Re: Various Abandonware Site Comments: To: Jonathan R Barrett MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I tried one of those CD-ROMs from about 1995.

Do you mean the built-in apps can't read it? Or do you mean read-only mode? Funny you should ask. I was playing around with some graphics programs last week when suddenly my C:\ directory became "read-only". I was still able to write to A: and to any subdirectory under C:\, but basically not in the root area itself....weird! I tried several attribute modifying programs, but none of them seemed to work on the root directory. Finally gave up and did the Ctrl-Shift-On/Yes thing and then restored from my nightly backup. Seems like something corrupted the file allocation table, or whereever the file attributes are kept. My advice would be to backup/format/restore...the file attribute may be the only VISIBLE thing corrupted and your friend may experience something more damaging later. - Longden PS - Please let me know how you fix it....I may need the info. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 19 Jan 1998 13:24:01 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Bernard A.

Running chkdsk/f may not be able to correct the internal error and perhaps the compression program's own integrity checker should be used first, otherwise... The trick is to back all the info from the card onto a PC and re-create the compressed vol. This usually entails a format, which will absolve most errors. Hope this helps.

Sounds like you bumped into the HPLX 64 file "Wall" You can have all kinds of disk space free, but the LX will not let you have any more than 64 files (and directories count, too) in the root level. In sub-directories, I can't remember the number, but I think you are allowed quite a few thousand. BTW, directories and sub-directories all take up disk space, so those of you with a passion for thirty-seven different flavors of sub-sub-levels should check your disk free space, concatenate and then recheck. One can get away with gratuitous waste on a 4gig HD running several trillion files via Bloatware, but the little "Computer of Choice" requires more frugal management.

It translates simple English sentences to and from foreign languages. The manual is out of date. You have to ignore the installation instructions and use the 8 1/2 by 11 inch handout that comes with the diskettes. You can't run it from system manager easily. When I tried, it locked up the system and I had to use a hard reset. The translation, when it works, is pretty horrible. The word order is all wrong and the Japanese person I tried to communicate with had to really struggle to understand. *** But it does work sometimes and that's what makes it fun. The translations are funny in themselves. I also noticed that I seem to be learning a lot from the translations. NOTE: I have access to a native speaker, so I can ask her to correct the translation after it is done crudely by the HP200LX. I sometimes travel to Japan and end up spending time with my permanent girl friend's relatives. They speak almost no English; in the past it has been really difficult to communicate, so the HP200LX will be a life saver next time. You can add your own extra words to the system. I've downloaded a Japanese/English database from SUPER and I'll be using that to help me expand the system. Hmm. I notice that there is a Chinese version, too. Maybe I'll order that next so I can communicate better with my nightclub/ballroom dance partner! She's came from from China--then moved to Hong Kong, then to the US. She's a very good dancer; she was a professional ballet dance instructor there, but doesn't yet speak much English, yet. I wonder how many translation programs are available for the WINCE machines.

I have a stripped autoexec.bat and config.sys as I boot to dos with as little as possible taking memory. I do like to use a font, so there goes some, and I do like lxshift, to make the Ctrl, Alt & Func keys sticky, so there goes some more. As I boot to raw dos, I have many little batch files in a directory on the path to launch programs. For example, I type "n" and press enter and the batch file n.bat takes me to the A: drive, changes to the \net directory and launches nettamer. On exiting the program, the batch file calls dos to delete any temporary or backup files left by nettamer and my editor of choice, Dexter. This is needed because I still have problems with nettamer bombing out! Likewise, if I type "w" and press enter, a batch file runs sleepon, windows and after exiting, removes sleepon. The advantage of batch files over menus or maxdos are the clean state of memory, menu programs always leave some tags taking space and occasionally tripping up your launched program. Maxdos and Dosshell and Software Carousel all use disk space as well for a swap space, adding to the woes of recovering from an enforced reboot. BTW, of the menu programs, I find the one built into XTree Gold to be magnificently stable and easy to use. You can setup XTree Gold to boot from the autoexec.bat with the menu screen and set all your programs on a highly configurable listing. On the subject of running things from dos, I have a macro in sysmanager to do the More | Menu | Terminate | All | Enter faster than fingers can fly, getting you to raw dos to run whatever you please. Tip: I picked this up a while ago reading an old dos manual, instead of typing "type filename.ext | more" to get page-fulls of information to the screen, try "more < filename.ext" this is effectively the same, but get this, hit F3 after returning to the prompt, (you can cancell many screens of type output with Crtl+C) and the "more < filename.ext" will appear, now having it this way around allows you to edit/retype the filename.ext to display another file. Boy, it's easier to do than to write about!

(and some speed data) Having seen quite a few threads on battery usage, I thought I'd share some measurements that I have done with various battery types. I wrote a small program to measure the battery voltage at 5 minute intervals, and to keep the CPU active to prevent an automatic no activity shutdown. I found the following: 1. One use Alkaline batteries (Kodak PhotoCells) gave almost 17 hours (16:52) of continuous use before the palmtop shut itself off at low voltage at 2.2 volts. 2. NiMH batteries (New Radio Shack 1100 mAh) gave almost 15 hours (14:52) of continuous use before the palmtop shut itself off at low voltage at 1.95 volts. 3. Rechargeable NiCad (granted, ones I have used for quite a while) gave between 7 and 12 hours continuous use prior to palmtop shutdown at 2.4 volts. I ran several charge/discharge cycles to see if that would improve their performance. It did not. I also tested the NiMH for self discharge by using an hour of calculator continuous use per day for 7 days, followed by a test discharge which last 5 hours. I do not consider this to be a significant self discharge characteristic. All these test were run on the same HP-100 LX and at the same temperature (68F). I think that the best decision is to use NiMH batteries. In terms of price/performance I think they are the best bet. Note I did not test one use lithium batteries, simply due to their high expense. If anyone would like the source or executable for the discharge program, I will email it to them. I also have a 123 file which graphs the discharge curves over time. The NiMH batteries had the closest thing to a "classic" battery discharge curve. The Nicads were relatively fast in their drop off, and the alkalines had a "hitch" in their curve after which the inflection seemed all wrong on the curve. Don't claim to understand it, but that's what the data showed. P.S. for those of you interested in speed performance, simply plugging your HP-100 /200 into the AC adaptor will increase its speed a great deal without requiring TURBO or TURBOCPU programs.

I'd appreciate it. I believe what you are after here is the 'menuitem=3D' command. This defines a startup menu from which you can choose the group of config.sys commands to process when you reboot. ie: Startup Menu =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D 1. Configure for Windows 2. Configure for MS-DOS Enter a choice: 1 This allows you to select which drivers etc. are loaded but unfortunately this is only available with ms-dos 6 and later :-( I could find no way of doing something similar with ms-dos 5 - the 'call' command is useful in autoexec.bat but returns you to the original batchfile after execution. 'Goto' and 'if' are very useful as well but will not pause to allow user-input before proceeding as they can only evaluate existing or pre-determined conditions. Any batchfile/utility started from autoexec.bat will not give you the full control that 'menuitem' does. I have found that loading maxdos early in autoexec.bat works best for me and eliminates the need for a menu since practically any dos program that can run on the 200lx (including win 1/2/3 and most likely agenda) can be made to run under maxdos. The only downside is that you have no control over utils/drivers loaded from config.sys but as an added bonus only tsr's appearing *before* the line that loads maxdos (in autoexec.bat) will be present in your maxdos session! All others will be written to the swapfile and restored on exit...

David, i have used maxdos from the moment it appeared and must say that i have never had a problem as a result of using it. It is one of the most solid utilities i have ever come across for the 200lx! It certainly gets my vote for induction in the Palmtop Hall of Fame as the smallest and fastest task-swapper of all time! The memory provided by maxdos on my machine is about as 'clean' as it gets.

I agree that the swapfile comes with a 'cost' but nothing's for free - right? The util itself eats only 10k on the disk. If you have ems available in which to place your swapfile the enforced reboots you describe are of no significance whatever... Without ems you may have to remove the hidden swapfile manually after an unexpected program termination and i'll admit it can escape unnoticed... ka> BTW, of the menu programs, I find the one built into XTree Gold ka> to be magnificently stable and easy to use.

It (the test method) isn't as rigorous as I would like, but it's difficult to expect everyone to have an AC adapter, or to use new batteries for the test, or even be aware of cluster sizes and free space. Any chance your performance was due to low batteries? Also, take some comfort that there may still be a tradeoff.

However, instead of making a connector for the newton keyboard's jack and the HP, I cut the keyboard's cable and fixed the hp connector onto the cable directly -- which is what I presume Shier does, from the pix in the HP PTP. This way, I ran the risk of wasting a keyboard entirely (no resale value) but ended up with a shorter and less bulky cable arrangement. I just needed to carefully check the wires to figure out which colour wire (after you cut the main cable) leads to which point, and therefore which synapses to make between the hp cable and the keyboard's cable. In case any one's interested, i basically connected the wires like this newtonkeyboardcable hplxconnectivitycable 1-brownwire 4-greenwire (DTR) 4-blackwire (GND) 5-yellowwire (GND) 5-whitewire 2-redwire (RXD) K Adachi's comments on the wires are included above in brackets, but frankly, I haven't a clue what he means by them tho.

MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Just got a Simple Technologies 32MB ATA Flash card. I'm very happy with it since I think there's a noticable speed increase over my old no-name 8MB card (this I attribute, probably erroneously, mostly to the old card, and probably somewhat to JAM, which I'm not using on the new card). Now, the interesting numbers: while I formatted it I carefully stopwatch timed how long it took to format 10% of the drive with and without the CTRL key down: w/CTRL: 10% = 31 seconds = 103k/second w/o CTRL: 10% = 78 seconds! = 41k/second Hence, a the CTRL appears to give a 2.5x speed increase on my card while formatting...

Which big flash cards give satisfactory performance? I can only give you the relative performance figures I've gathered the last few days from the others (for SRAM and flash, small and big). Still unknown is the power consumption of the various cards (ie, a fast card may turn out to cut battery life in half).

Don't know if this is like your problem, but the last time I had my 200LX upgraded, it came back with the AC no longer recognized. I sent it back and they fixed it. The explanation was: "Some of the aluminum shielding around the serial port got caught in the AC adapter when I closed the machine the first time. Nothing was actually broken or had to be repaired other than moving that piece of aluminum." - 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: Wed, 21 Jan 1998 13:35:39 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , kilgore@PYLON.PILLAR.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stan Hall Organization: Pillar Communication Subject: Re: NSW: Comments: To: "Crundall, Martin - TPMHC" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I just received my 4 meg upgrade from NSW today.

BUT, sometimes you luck out, and they repair them for nothing, somehow charging it to warranty service, or something (mine was replaced with a rebuilt one November of 1996 this way). Call first.

Does this hold true on a 200LX? I have heard a number of people talking about some "problems" encountered with the double-speed upgrade. Haven't heard of anyone having problems just running the RAM upgrade (is Stan the only one out there that opted for the RAM vice the RAM and 2X processor upgrade??). Maybe there aren't any problems??

I looked at the times2tech web page and saw their answer to these issues. I ordered the upgrade about 2 3 months ago and have yet to regret it. It works well and the only drawback is the need to run some low overhead TSRs. It worked fine with the NSW upgrade. BTW, The NSW upgrade does not include an EMM driver.

Does this hold true on a 200LX? Jez replies: I think this adage comes thanks to Windows which makes high demands on RAM and frequently has to swap to virtual memory on hard-disk. So speed is greatly increased on a Windows PC by having enough RAM to avoid such swapping. Probably also true if you are running some other sort of multiple-session (DOS) environment. However, if you are not running Windows and you don't have a hard-disk, then the increase in RAM has no effect on the performance. I think the real interest in increasing memory in an hp200lx is for increased storage of files and applications while keeping the PCMCIA slot free for a modem (otherwise a flash memory card is the best bet).

Despite the fact that my 1meg 200lx shouldn't have had the connector, it did. I was told that it must have been repaired by HP and the motherboard was replaced. You will need to check your motherboard or call and ask NSW, as they are more aware of what should and shouldn't have the connector. If you have the connector you just need to carefully open the case and gently push the upgrade into the connector, all done. If you don't have the connector you have to do some precise soldering, which doesn't seem like fun at all. NSW will do the upgrade for no additional charge, but you better call quick, because it sounds like they are getting out of the HP memory upgrade business and supplies were limited when I ordered mine. -- Stan Hall Pillar Communication http://www.telepath.com/pillar -------------------------------------------- ***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, 22 Jan 1998 10:24:46 +0100 Reply-To: mail@port-home.com Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Port-Home Organization: Support Center for Mobile Devices Subject: FS: HP 700 Nokia Communicator MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-2 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit HP 700LX (GSM communicator) Brand new with full HP warranty.

Gee, is that even possible? Is there a special driver for this card or something? Aren't you using the built-in HP200 driver to access the card? How could the card 'know" that you are holding down a key? Something on the bus? Hmmm. What is I stuck the card in another device like a digital camera? How would the card "know". Maybe there is some kind of CPU active signal on the PCMCIA bus, I guess I don't know enough about PCMCIA. Maybe someone else can comment. What could the card possibly be sensing on the PCMCIA bus. Couldn't this be a problem for devices like digital cameras that have a maximum allowed write time? Could the card just be sensing how fast you are writing to it, and since the HP200 is so slow it keeps going to "sleep" to save power and has to "wake up" over and over? Must be a property of the controller used by the card. -Bryan David Sargeant wrote: I talked to a technician at Pretec today.

The frequency of the IR transmission is software controlled, not hardware controlled. It sounds like you were testing the IR card by having the palmtop try to connect to another palmtop or with the comm program.

Excuse me if this is a little thin on detail, I run 95 only when I "Have" to, preferring 3.11 or dos.

Congrats Al! I do believe you now have the record for both the fastest AND the slowest internal drive...and on the same machine! . Were you running from inside/outside SysMgr....AC/battery. Jorgen Dybdahl got a significant slow-down on his C drive when it was down to 214K and improved about 35% after freeing space (to 341k).

I'm sure it's Windows Messaging 4.0 feature - hopefully there is an option somewhere that you can turn off. My guess is that the gobbledygook contains your email, with rich formatting - one way to get around this might be to save your email as ASCII. Maybe then the software would realise that it need not send the rich formatting version.... but just a guess. > Unfortunately I am using what came free with my computer and it IS from the > dreaded Microsloth corp.

The prohibition against binary files is to keep the memory usage down - many read the list on their palmtops!

I have just started to use gdbload to transfer info from Paradox (and other databases) to the gdb format. One problem I have is getting a run time error or null pointer (can't remember exactly right now), I've worked around it by breaking the files in to smaller chunks. My questions is has anybody had trouble using gdbload (or gdbdump) in relation to file size. I was trying to import a 400,000 byte database file and it would not take it. It also created a nearly 350,000 byte file called (name of database).new and I tried to open this *.new file. On one occasion it wanted a password (my database files aren't password protected) and another time it simply couldn't open file. I tried rename *.new extention to *.gdb to no avail. Anyway, I would be curious to know list's experience with this program.

Maybe the program can also interrogate the drive and the LX for: - use of AC/battery - battery level (if used) - amount of free space left on disk - cluster size - use of compression - speed rating of the system (double crystal or turbo boosted or normal) And ask the user for: - their name - whether they're running in/out of SysMgr - the make/model of the card - and for David Sargeant, ask whether he's holding down the Ctrl key And then bundle that info together with the results into a few neat lines, ready for email.

My workaround was to take the CSV file, which is simply organized with 1 record per line into a text editor capable of handling it (not necessarily on the LX, tho I did use the calvin editor), and split the file. I think I needed to copy the first line onto the other sections as this is a field descriptor of sorts. Alternatively, you can dump smaller chunks from Paradox...but do it in pieces cuz looks like gdbload does have size limits. Have you had any success at all (ie, with smaller pieces). The gdb created by gdbload will show an error on opening that is handled using F6 to redefine subsets (this is mentioned in their doc). - 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, 22 Jan 1998 16:58:54 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: File Copy "benchmark" on STACked LX Comments: To: "Longden C.

Your reasoning is very correct. However, you don't take into consideration that the TV remote control is specifically designed to operate the TV receiver from across the room. When I was in charge of remote control for a big TV maker, the minimum acceptable distance was 8 meters. (Say 25 feet).The HP200LX is designed to send data a distance of say two feet. The quantity of light is much less but the frequency is probably very close. I am anxious to get into this whole IR port question but I won't have time for some weeks. Motorola gives the frequency of their IR transmitting devices as 940, 850 nm. and one device at 660 nm. The 660 nm. part is unusual and would probably not be used.

The first frequency is the frequency of the IR light which is controlled by the material in the diode. The second frequency which is often called the 'carrier frequency' and is usually around 40+ Khz. This is controlled by software. The third frequency is the data rate which is controlled by the UART and this is set up by the user when the serial port is set to a particular baud rate.

The easiest is to look at the IR transmitting device, see who made it, and look up his data sheet. Other ways include generating the spectrum of the device and measuring it. This is less convenient with an IR device as you need a very sensitive IR device or IR sensitive film and a suitable optical bench.

Looks like we had the same problem. I did find out that some of the error messages helped in that they located a problem line. For example when I got a gdb(120)-******** error message, I could go to line 120 and delete below that. Then gdbload would take the file. I could then make another file using the clipped lines below line 120 and see how far that would go before getting another error. I wonder if anybody has a list of what the error messages mean. It might help to know what "run time error" or "null pointer" or "not enough fields" actually mean. Maybe someone or the author (Steve Roth ? ) could publish a list. The docs are pretty slim.

There are several devices on the market for extending the range of infrared remotes. the "Leapfrog" unit comes to mind first. An IR-to-RF box attaches to the front of the remote (or palmtop), and a RF-to-IR unit sits facing the equipment.

As soon as I wrap up some things at work (in the next couple of days), I was planning on dropping in on Bernie at Belmont Shores to try out their cards. I was mostly interested in 40mb, but I may look at the 32mb CF also. I use my PC card modem daily, and I wondered if the daily card-in/card-out routine might be a bit stressful for a mechanical adapter. - 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: Fri, 23 Jan 1998 17:03:26 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Frank Ubachs Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Frank Ubachs Subject: Re: Fax software Comments: To: "Jeffrey N.

Can anybody help ? >..... or suggest a better way to handle large text-files on the HP? I use between two and four different programs to handle large text files. Unfortunately, .y card space is two 5meg SanDisk cards (I'm a poor student who dreams of the vastness of 40meg!) so I have to regularly swap programs out to a directory on the PC at home and replace them with another as space is always at a premium for me. The first program I would suggest to anyone looking to work with lang documents is Pal Edit (available from S.U.P.E.R and www.dasoft.com) This is written by the amazing Andreas Garzotto, author of WWW/LX PalEdit, Spell for PalEdit HV the Html viewer for the LXand other neat programs specifically written for the LX. PalEdit is written in Palmtop Application Language, and so it has the "Look" of the built-in apps, especially Memo, but it out-strips Memo in sheer performance as it is a raw dos program. It runs best from dos with as much memory as it can get, but also runs just dandy in sysmanager with a meager 100k assigned to it. The "Search" function deserves special mention as it is feeding your key-presses in as the are entered, sometimes finding the first instance of the desired word before the whole thing has been typed! Paledit will happily open files that Memo will give a memory error trying, but if you really want to use it with big files, you will have to experiment with the amount of memory you assign it to balance it's performance with the ability to cut and paste to and from sysmanager apps. PalEdit also eats memo for breakfast when it comes to Multiple files. You can start it with couple of wildcards (*.txt *.doc) and it will load all the txt and doc files in the directory it is called from. Or, you can make a file list for files to open. You can flick through documents open in one direction, or you can open a dialog box to see what is open and select the file you want. End of Advertorial for PalEdit! The next wonder-editor is Dexter, also on S.U.P.E.R Dexter is designed for programmer's to open several listings and swap between them and be able to search all open files and even (Get This!) a file-list of up to 615 files!!! You can even search and replace through the file list. I was doing som editing of html's the other day, Memo took 15 minutes to search and replace some type 3.0 code with type 2.0 so I switched to Dexter. I replaced the same codes in EIGHT files in TWO minutes... Need I say more? The other programs I often load onto my cards are Word for dos version 5.0 and Word for Windows 1.1 Both of these are full-on desktop publishing capable programs with more functionality than you can shake a stick at! Word 5.0 for dos is my pick of the range 1.0-6.0 for dos as it has the most features and is fully compatible with the LX screen. 5.5 and 6.0 are graphical and there are problems in getting colors to work and visibility suffers. The spell check and Thesaurus alone are worth the hassle of getting these programs! Word eats PalEdit and Dexter when it comes time to print, having SCORES of printer drivers and best of all, Print Preview! The text is greeked but wysiwyg! Of course, graphics are supported and columns and styles and macros and mail-merge and importing/exporting different word processor formats and spreadsheet data. And then there is Word for Windows, what can I say about this that everybody doesn't know? I run Windows 2.0 for the best compromise of size vs efficiency and Word of course will cut and paste to and from all the windows apps and also Excel These options I have placed in ascending complexity/difficulty, so PalEdit you could have running in seconds, Word for Windows will take an afternoon (or two!) to setup. Hope this helps.

Unless the modem has an internal speaker, you should be able to just turn off the volume to the palmtop's speaker (in setup, or via LXPro, or a host of other volume-setting utilities.) If the modem DOES have a speaker, ATL0 will turn the volume off. -- Enter to win prizes for the 200LX palmtop computer 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: Fri, 23 Jan 1998 21:18:06 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Cripps Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Cripps Subject: Abandonware and Project (and a BallPoint Driver!)

The only possible problem I can think of is that my password contains upper and lower-case letters, but then again, WWW.EXE handles that part fine. I have never seen a password error when Eudora logs into the SMTP. Please don't misunderstand me. I think that WWW.EXE, and Post/LX, etc., are great programs, and that Andreas did a fantastic job writing it. The WWW part is fast, and browses well. I'm not complaining about the programs, only the technical support, which has been non-existent. I've sent numerous e-mails and some faxes and voice-mails to D&A. The only help in writing the PPP script, which I was told was the problem, was a post that someone not connected with D&A sent me. D&A forwarded a copy of a PPP script, which was a response to a question I posted to the HPLX-list myself. I had already tried it long before he sent it. I spent a good six weeks (in the evenings) chasing the 'script' problem, as others on the list can attest to. I even chased a SLIP script, which if someone is interested in, I will forward to them (it works also, now). Then, out of desparation, I convinced someone to send me their ZIP file from their original diskettes. Once I unpacked these and installed them onto my A-drive, WWW.EXE connected in less than 20 seconds.

I would absolutly do the upgrade as long as I could get the appropriate drivers!!! But I guess I'll concentrate on 32 Mhz for now.

Please ignore the above if it works. :-) Here's another problem for going over 32 MHz. I understand the 700LX uses a double-speed Hornet chip. The problem is speeds above that. You can run into the problem of overclocking the chip if you go to high. Overclocking won't zap the Hornet... immediately. Instead, it warms up the connectors inside the casing, which are made of bimetal. When they warm up, they'll seperate from the Hornet chip itself, which is bad. Eventually (after a period of a year or so) one of those connectors breaks off due to metal fatigue. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I remember after an episode of a local vendor unknowingly released overclocked 386's some years ago. Ian Butler Advanced Software Systems, Inc.

When I first started using OS/2, I ran into a similar problem. I could log onto my ISP but it would not recognise my mail password. I checked with my ISP and they had no information relative to OS/2. Finally for no apparent reason, but probably due to some change at the ISP I began to be able to use the OS/2 mail program but not the mail program on Netscape for OS/2. I later got a more suitable computer for OS/2 and was completely unable to make a PPP connection with all of the same software. I then got Injoy to use as my dialer and that works fine. Except the other night, I got a mail password not recognised. However, I was able to write and send a mail message. The next morning my password was suddenly OK. I doubt if there is anyone around that could give a completely satisfactory explanation for all of this foolishness.

Claud, sometimes the login (www.exe) calls for a different pwd than the pop3 server - this is the case with one of my accounts. In this case you will need to specify both of them (this is easily done using the setup utils). Could this be your problem? One one occassion after making some setup changes i forgot to enter my pop3 pwd and received a similar msg as you. I use post/lx for *all* my email and usenet (more than 100 msgs on some days) and have had no problems sending nor receiving. Another potential problem area is if your server is sending 'oversize' packets (packets too large for post/lx to handle). I also had a situation develop recently where postlx was working beautifully then all of a sudden after a server upgrade it started giving problems although hv+www/lx continued to work flawlessly! Turned out that it was oversize packets! Try adding this line to your reader.cfg file in the ÝSYSTEM¨ section: MaxSegmentSize=3D512 Good luck.

While the form factor and pinout are the same the internal card arrangement is slightly different, that is why a driver was needed to access it from a "normal" machine. Luckily they fixed this issue in the RDC- 2 and later models. Supposedly the reason Ricoh did this on the RDC-1 was to speed up access to the card for its 30 fps mode. Pete Peter W.

All your reference texts can be compressed (via pkzip) to reduce your disk usage (probably by half). You can compress several documents together into a single zip archive and use ZipRay (at the SUPER site) to view the archive contents (in conjunction with List (at most shareware sites). The advantage of the approach is that it lets you carry more info. List is also a great program for searching text. The downside is that this combination doesn't let you make changes...for that David's suggestions would be more useful...tho if you were a programmer I would recommend the Calvin editor (small, fast, handles large files but not your most user-friendly interface). In regards to your remarks about Notetaker and Database, IMHO they are NOT what you want. Not only will they add overhead to your space usage, their search capability is limited (and SLOW...especially for large files). - 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, 23 Jan 1998 20:23:57 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Gene Johnson Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Gene Johnson Subject: Re: 1 MB to trade for...

I'm really new in 200 world and I am trying to get a grip. > Nedim , I am using a 41meg PCMCIA hd w/ my 200lx. Check out Accurite Industries. they sell a thing called a Doubleslot, which is really cool. It is a little box that plugs into the Card slot and allows one to use 2 type 2 cards at once or a 1 type 3 size device. I, for example, use the hard drive to transfer stuff to flash, sram, and the c: drive. Also I use the modem and sram or flash at the same time. For the Hard drive, one must be tethered to the ac adaptor (included). One "advantage of this, though, is that I can use the modem and have it be powered by the doubleslot, which, of course, is plugged in. the double slot will work without AC if you use, say, the modem and the sram - but of course battery life is lessened. The Double slot probably uses very little power, but the things one can plug into it can be very power-hungry (ex. the hard drive needs 600mA to spin up). Lemme tel ya, 41 meg is enough to keep all ny 200lx / DOS stuff on, and if I need more space, I'll just put a stacvol on there. I think the url is www.accurite.com.

Using stacker allowed me to squish about two times as much text on the machine, and List worked very well for read only. I also liked that you could adjust the screen "colors" (shades of black, in our case) on the screen. I used the "Find" feature in List a lot to find particular sections, Stacker did not seem to slow this kind of linear search down at all.

You can also use any number of dos based editors that will handle large files. My personal favrit is PALedit. I've yet to edit a file it can't handle. Another good possibilty is the VR reader. It doesn't edit but it's a nice way to read documents and it "remembers" where you were in the file. It also lets you create bookmarks.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Okay list gurus, here's a pair of questions for you. First, I've had a 2M 200LX for several months and I just got a new 4M 200LX. The display on the new unit has greater contrast than the older unit. I can set the levels so the dark portions are equivalent, but then the light portions on the older unit are darker than on the new. Does the degree of contrast decrease over time? After running the older unit on a charger, I noticed the display looked sort of washed out. Is it possible it never completely recovered? Second question. What is the best method for cleaning the display? I'm assuming the surface is a synthetic polymer of some sort. The manual says nothing about this issue. A soft cotton cloth for dusting? Any ideas? Thanks for any and all suggestions.

Do wildcards or any other pattern matching if you wish. While you're at it, you can add file renaming, moving or whatever. $wc = $ARGVÝ0¨; $wc =~ s/\*/(.)+/g; #process * $wc =~ s/\?/(.)/g; #process ? opendir (DIR, ".") || die "Can't open dir.\n"; @dir = readdir (DIR); closedir (DIR); foreach $file (@dir) { if ($file =~ /$wc/) { print ("$file\n"); } } This is just an idea, and you can evolve around it.

Comments: cc: epadin@WAGWEB.COM >You should try Windoze 2.3.

I was at the weekly computer fair yesterday and bought a manual for Windows 2.0 for $1.00 I can't stress enough, how useful manuals are, I had been struggling with Paint, trying to get a grip on the Zoom feature, and a couple of paragraphs from the manual and I was a happy chappie! While trying to work it out, I discovered a feature that is not even mentioned, if you select the scroll tool, the one with four arrow-heads, and press enter, you get a full-page print preview that you can drag the "Active Window" around. Most impressive. BTW, this version of Paint is a direct steal of the MacPaint of the same era, no mention in the manual of that! Another thing I picked up at the fair was an un-used Bitstream Font pack. It installed fine to my Windoze 3.0 and offers lots of goodies for print fanatics, but I have been having a little trouble getting it to install to Win 2.0, even though the Bitstream manual says it's cool with 2.0 Two things I didn't pick up, but marvelled at the price, were a "Student Version" of Excel 2.1 with run-time win 2.0 at $10.00 and Norton Utilities version 8 for $15.00 That's a seriously good deal, Norton has GOT to be one of the most competent/powerful pieces of software written for the PC. Possibly the best deal of the decade for me was a few months ago, when I got the full, boxed versions of WordPerfect 5.1 and Lotus 123 v2.4 for $15.00 the both of them! That's $7.50 each! A saving of Thousands of dollars on the original sticker-price. The manuals come to about 15lb's worth. I prefer this to paying $999.99 (NZ) for office 98 where you get one 1oz cd and a piece of paper stating your life-long entrapment to Big Bill and little else. Also, the new software should be called "BloatWare" I mean, there is a Single .dll in Word 97 that is over 9meg, I have Windows and Two versions of Word And Excel combined at just under 5meg. I doubt the latest full installs of 98 and IE 4.0 and Office at around 1/2gig have 100 times the useability of my 5meg setup (including nettamer!) On the Win 2.0 vs 3.0 and later front, 2.0 is far and away the best setup for keyboard lovers, with every move and action available to the key pressers. 1.0 is Mac-like in that it requires you to use the menus every time, there are No short-cuts, 2.0 is great, then comes 3.0 and the programmer's obviously thought "All the World Has a mouse, or pointing device." So they stripped many of the keyboard short-cuts out...

How much A: drive space can you afford to set aside? You can get Win 2.0 running in well under 1meg, but with calendar, notepad, the phonebook database and paint you add another 700k. You can shoe-horn in Excel & Windows & Win 2.0 in under 5meg. A good bet for getting copies of ancient software, and we are talking 1987 here(!) is computer fairs and swap-meets and the free-trade & exchange papers. The one I mentioned is in Auckland, New Zealand, each Saturday, and yes, next week I Will buy the Excel and Norton for sale to anybody on the LX list. BTW, the Excel has a run-time version of Windows 2.0 so if you install it alone, you get Excel, control panel and clipboard and a macro editor.

I was given a used LX200 and in the box was this modem card, model XJ4336. The LX doesn't seem to recognize it when it's plugged in, and I suspect I need to install a driver to run it. The problem is that I am reluctant to to use the install program that came with it on my PC to unpack the necessary files--especially since my PC can't accept a card modem. As I understand it, this card is more suitable for a laptop running Windows. Would anyone be interested in a trade? This card has the XJACK Connector, and 33.6/14.4kbps Data/Fax/Voice. I'd consider a memory card or older modem card that the LX can recognize without loading a driver.

You can use telnet on a win95 or unix system (or if you have nettamer) to log in to the server on port 110. This will allow you to talk directly with the POP3 server. If successful, you get a response something like: "Unix SYS/V etc,etc, POP3 Ready." At this point should be able to use the following login commands: user {username} pass (password} If it says something like "login OK" then read mail messages with retr 1 <----- list message 1 retr 2 <----- list message 2, etc. This is basically what your POP client does. If you can't get authenticated then maybe your POP server uses APOP authentication which won't allow plain text passwords. Eudora does support APOP and that might be what it's using. Hope it helps.

I chose Dexter over T.Exe and Reader.Exe because these programs both do the same memory conserving trick, of breaking a file into 64k chunks and reading one in, while tagging other pieces for later use. This has several drawbacks IMHO, the time taken to split the pieces and the problem of searching the whole file and several others with this type of memory kludge. Dexter, and PalEdit can both open huge files, I often work with txt and htm files of over 8meg. Dexter is the speed demon, opening these in only a few seconds, and allowing one to jump to the last line, or any other almost instantly. Dexter is only 70k and I have mine permanently in my \bin directory in the path so it can be called from anywhere. You can call it with a filespec and it will generate a file list on the File menu that you can sort and add to or delete from. You can even add separating lines and group files by project or class. I even have it as my editor from nettamer, as staying with the same program keeps commands to remember to a minimum. Dexter includes a feature designed for programmers, but useful to those of us that don't! It is called temporary quit, and allows programmers working on code to exit the program and run the compile, run the program they are working on, have it run fine or crash the machine, restart and then when Dexter is fired up again from the same directory, it opens with the cursor Exactly where you left off! BTW, for those of you with XTree Gold that have not plumbed the depths of this awesome piece of software, the file viewer is UN-MATCHED in my opinion. I have yet to find, and I have been looking for over 10 years! XTree Gold will open silly sized files, like a 50meg swap file in the blink of an eye and has a search function that defies description. You can switch to hex view in a flash and search and edit to your heart's content... One of the neatest functions I think, is the F7 Auto-View. Sort of like Lotus 123's viewer add-in, unfortunately omitted from the palmtop's rom 123, but if installed in the 123 default dir, will work just dandy, although the total file size is larger than the two text editors I have been pushing. (And no commission...) With XTree Gold's auto view and Lotus 123's viewer, you can browse directories and each file the highlight is on is displayed in a window taking up 60-70% of the screen, the rest of the screen is the dir listing and the moveable highlight and some command screen stuff. This is amazing when you have a LOT of files, as you can quickly peek in instead of opening them one by one into an editor/viewer. Both of these approaches allow you to scroll inside the peek view, and when you find the file you want, in 123 pressing enter loads it, and XTree Gold V loads it for full screen view. I hope I haven't provided a "Red Herring" with the description of Lotus 123's viewer, as 123 is not the best place to view and search & possibly edit large text files, but 123 is THERE, and the ability to browse is worthy of investigation, even if when the file is found it is loaded into another text processor entirely! My forte is, I guess, evaluating software and matching it to user's requirements. Most people don't want to waste time trying several different iterations of the one concept, they just want to USE one! I, on the other hand, like to optimise the work environment by dissecting the capabilities of software and judgementally rating the usability for different scenarios. For example, a friend, recently new to palmtopping, is a Povray fan a,d does his own listings for early Egyptian architecture on his 200LX now. Initially, he wanted me to suggest an editor he could use that would be most efficacious to the writing of listings and without too much thought, I suggested Dexter & PalEdit, but as he was a Mac man before the LX, raw dos text editors gave him the willies! So I re-evaluated the case & we have him happy now with Memo and Notetaker and some tricky macros. He works on a single file and when he comes to a place where he wants to write a description that is often repeated, he will simply write it's code-name, like box, or header, and press the assigned macro key. This macro selects the word just typed, cuts it to the clipboard, flicks to the notetaker, opens Find, pastes the word, searches for he listing, smart-clips it, flicks back to Memo and pastes it far faster than he can type it and with no spelling or syntax errors... And it cost him nothing... My motto, Experiment, fiddle, tweak, don't be too scared to "break" it, and above all, Enjoy yourself!

You need to run it in either raw DOS or from your autoexec.bat file.

I had no problem setting it up with my US Robotics 14.4 Worldport Pocket Fax Modem. No matter how I set the Motorola modem, I have problems. In the best case (1200-9600 BPS) I get to the point where it logs into the mail server, and requests the first message, but it gets no further. Eventually it times out. If I try to look at the mail file that it creates, it immediately exits to DOS. No matter how I set the program, I can always get it to work with the US Robotics World Port! This is strange to me because I have very little luck getting the Worldport to work with any other software.

Loo" Subject: Rechargeable battery endurance Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII This may be of interest to those using rechargeables and is a follow-on to Brian McIlvane's interesting "Battery Information" posted on the SUPER site. If you're still looking for a rechargeable to buy.... As a user of a double-speed, 6mb 200LX with a 20mb flashcard, and PCMCIA modem (frequently sans AC), I drain my batteries more quickly than I'd like. Over the last few months, I've tried several brands of rechargeables including the Panasonic 1100mAh NiCads(from Costco), and several NiMH batteries including RadioShack 1200mAh, YesSolar's 1300mAh and Times2Tech's 1350mAh. Having used each of them for several weeks, I decided to use my spare LX to test battery endurance under similar conditions (much as Brian did). For each test, I charged a set of batteries (using ABC/LX) to their maximum voltage (previously determined by several charges using ABC/LX), then unplugged the AC and ran a simple batch file to chkdsk the flash card with light sleep disabled (as David Sargeant did in his battery reviews on his website). The batch file ran till the LX went dead (ie, the screen was blank). The number of hours the LX was operating was recorded by ABC/LX and ranged from 11-16 hours, though that's hardly the usage you should expect from these under real conditions, as most of the final hour(s) may have been under "low-battery warning" conditions. The numbers are more meaningful as a comparison against the other batteries in the test. The test is hardly rigorous (each brand tested only once), but the figures may still be useful to someone out there....and I do have other things to do . The results showed the Times2Tech batteries having the longest life (and is also rated as the highest mAh). Also of interest was that the Panasonic NiCads lasted longer than the RadioShack NiMH. Panasonics were only rated at 1100mAh compared to RS's 1200mAh. The percentage difference shown is between the battery and the lowest figure, so T2T brand, rated at 1350mAh is therefore 22.73% more than Pan, rated at 1100, and achieved a test endurance of 16.48 hours compared to the lowest time of 11.50 hrs for the RS, for a difference in endurance of 43.3% Rated Percent TestDur Percent Capacity Diff (hrs) Diff (LowVal) 1100 11.50 Pan 1100 0.00% 12.78 11.13% RS 1200 9.09% 11.50 0.00% Yes 1300 18.18% 14.55 26.52% T2T 1350 22.73% 16.48 43.30% Test times, the number of loop iterations and the maximum starting charge values were: Brand Hr:Mn Start-End Loop Max T2T 16:29 9:17p-1:45p 3787 2.92v RS 11:30 3:22a-2:52p 2455 2.81v YES 14:33 5:22p-7:54a 3062 2.87v PAN 12:47 9:12p- 9:58a 2840 3.06v - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 27 Jan 1998 08:58:02 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Phenix,Bryan ÝPYR¨" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Phenix,Bryan ÝPYR¨" Subject: Re: Little clever text editors...

They're all of the same ilk. After version 3 of anything, you'd think the developers must have it at least 90% right (functionality wise). I'm sure XTree and Norton Commander (and ???) all have things to recommend it. I bought XTree and its subsequent upgrades (up to XTree Gold) and that's why I use it over the others. But FWIW, I like XTree cuz it lets me query my files quickly. If I want to find all the files on a disk that match a certain pattern, and then view, edit or delete them, it's fast on XTree. If a program creates or updates unknown files on my system, XTree can tell me in a second where they are, by showing all disk files sorted by date/time (not just be directory). If I want to clean up my system, I can sort the entire list of disk files by size and work on cleaning up the biggest ones first to avoid wasting time (and viewing them to make sure I don't want them). And it does all the other things you expect from File managers like toggling file attributes, processing of "tagged" (ie selected) files, viewing files in hex/char modes, etc. It works fast cuz it reads in the whole file list for the disk (which on my LX takes all of 2 seconds for my 20mb card). - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 27 Jan 1998 15:40:28 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Sean Hoger Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Sean Hoger Subject: Re: Motorola PCMCIA Modem MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >I also have the Motorola Power 14.4 Cell/Fax modem.

On the question of a larger, more - readable DOS font for running IS in non - zoom mode, the following extract from a private mailing to me from Bruce Frumerman is interesting:- "BTW, I saw your group posted note about problems in sizing screen fonts and getting background colors set as you'd like them. You should get a program I use called UltraVision by a company called Personics. UltraVision resets the DOS based color set and font set to your choosing. Your preferences are saved in an UltraVision configuration file. In my case, I have a batch file that runs UltraVision and loads my DOS color set and font set preferences that I want for Agenda; and then Agenda loads. You see, Agenda's default background color is grey (although Agenda calls it 'white'). I use UltraVision so that I have a true white background, and a font size of my choosing. Personics is located (or, at least was, the last time I checked) in Maynard, Massachusetts. Their phone number is 508-897-1575. FYI, the company is best known for a product called Monarch Report Writer, an add-on for spreadsheet and database programs. Don't know if they have a web site. Maybe you'd want to check them out."

Well done. My only wish tho is that i could see 14+ hrs from the brand new set of YesSolars i've recently installed in my lx (thanks Al ). My equipment is a 2x 5mb 200lx with a 'stacked' 8mb 1414LXM Thinfax and although my best voltage is *exactly* 2.87v (measured by abc/lx) i can muster only about 4.5 ~ 5.25 hrs. per charge! I switch the lx on/off many times per day and i suspect that this plus the modifications and a hungry modem is what chomps my cells. I go online several times a day with the lx but *never* without the help of the adapter. I expect that thinfax users with these modifications will have a similar 'real world' experience as i with no more than ~6 hrs. from their yessolars but i agree that it seems to be the best battery i've used short of the T2T ones which i have never seen...

It was cheap, only $270.99 for the card, and I just put it through the paces. There was some concern that the Simple Tech cards didn't work when voltages fell to under 2.4 volts. Well, I'm running on a pair of Panasonic high-capacity nicads (1100 mAh) and the voltage is at 2.33 (or 2.34, depending on what program does the reading) and the card is still working fine. It's even still benchmarking at the same speed.= Maybe the last test was performed using alkalines? I can't remember.= In any case, I'm a firm advocate of nicad batteries at least, and preferably NiMH batteries. (The 1350 mAh batteries from Times2 Tech, which have consistently been rated the highest, amazed me again today... I had left them in my bag since charging them in mid-November without doing anything to them since. Today, I put them in my 200LX, thinking they'd be almost dead so I could use them to test the Simple Tech card under low power conditions. Not so; they were still at 2.55 volts. Amazing for a NiMH battery.) Anyway, here are the results for the Simple Tech card, tested numerous times (using the standard batch file benchmark, on battery power) without SysMan loaded. The results never deviated from this average= by more than 0.05 seconds (except under System Manager; then it was slowed up by a second or so): Simple Tech card, with key held down: 5.55 seconds Simple Tech card, without key held down: 5.55 seconds As you can see, this card is not affected by the key-holding "feature." All around, including the 5 year warranty, this card is probably the best I've seen yet. And the cheapest, too. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 28 Jan 1998 12:45:10 +1100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Brendan Macmillan Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Brendan Macmillan Subject: Re: Perl for hplx In-Reply-To: from "David Kramer" at Jan 27, 98 06:24:52 pm MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > > print system("dir"); > does not work because dir is an internal DOS command.

This results in the LX "slowing down", as it thinks that the program is just sitting there waiting on a keystroke. To improve the search speed, just hit when you entered "enough" of your search string.

(was: Pocket Packet Radio? Comments: To: Phil Drummond In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII First of all let me state that I know how things work, I just don't know all the fancy technical terms. With that stated, let's think about pagers for a minute. When you dial someone's pager number or send them an alphanumeric message via a modem the paging service translates this into a digital signal then sends it out via it's array of antennas which are scttered at strategic places in their coverage area. The pager itself is nothing but a radio receiver waiting to recieve a signal, what keeps it from receiving everybody's pages is that it must receive the correct CAPCODE which is embedded in the signal sent out by the paging provider. If it recieves it's unique CAPCODE, by the way you can find the CAPCODE on the back of your pager, it acitvates it's internal modem, demodulates the signal and displays either the numeric or alphanumeric message to be displayed on the screen. In the case of the alphanumeric pager I have, according to the back of the pager it operates at 1200 baud. The pager I have operates in the 152Mhz range which makes it a VHF receiver, those in the 460Mhz and 800-900Mhz range are in the UHF band. An important thing to remember is that the higher the frequecy the more "line of sight" comes into play, although must of us are lucky in that paging companies usually have more than adequate coverage for their given areas. I believe if I remember correctly that FSK (frequency shift keying) is employed in the paging scenario. POSAG is the standard used for paging here in the United States and I believe the acronym SMS (short messaging system) is the standard used in Europe (correct me if I'm wrong). There is a neat program on the Simtel site that allows you to decode pager messages, with your computer, possibly even the LX even though I have never tried it. Remember the Electonic Communication Privacy Act :) There was an interesting article in QST, the ARRL's monthly magazine, a few months ago and if anyone is interested in paging I would reccomend the article. It explains how amateur radio operators can buy new crystals for Motorola pagers and modify them for the amateur frequencies. Remember the FCC says that how have to ID the transmissions and this can be done digitally. Anyways, that's my take on paging, I now return you to the regulary scheduled palmtop discussions :) 73 de KF4KGQ Jeff Johns jeffj@scott.net Reserve Captain Jefferson County Sheriff's Dept Birmingham, Alabama USA http://www.bham.net/jcsd **This message was sent via UNIX, PINE and an HP200LX Palmtop PC !!!** -------------------------------------------- ***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, 28 Jan 1998 13:27:45 +0000 Reply-To: collib@atom.forensic.sa.gov.au Sender: HPLX Mailing List Comments: Authenticated sender is From: Barry COLLINS Subject: Simple Memory Expansion - Shore Thing! MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Hi Everyone, Thanks again to those of you who responded to my questions re the purchase of a large memory ATA flash card for use mainly in the HP 200LX. There have been several individual responses and I have written to Bernie Torbik of Shore Systems and to Simple Technology, plus checked out several Web sites. Also, another member of our local Group, David Lawrence in New Zealand, telephoned a local retailer of Simple Technology products for information. For the benefit of the HPLX Mailing List, I shall give a summary of my progress, with a brief recap. It appeared that those of us in our local Australia and New Zealand situation who were keen to acquire an ATA memory card felt that around 40Mb was the optimum size. Obviously at the high (and variable) price of some of these cards it was important to find the cheapest without compromising general quality and after sales backup. We started out with little knowledge of technical specifications, which might not have been all that helpful without the practical experience passed on from other users. As more of you started to test you own cards and to pass on this and other information it seemed that, all things considered, the best options came down recently to Simple Technology and Viking flash cards, broadly in the price range of just over $100 US. At least two personal contacts were well satisfied with their Simple Technology cards but there were still some reports that below 2.4 volts there could be an operating problem, though that was the only problem mentioned. I have heard of no such problem with the Viking card, with some figures supporting the claim that it is twice as fast as the Sandisk card, which seems to be generally accepted as a reliable standard. Nearly a week ago I sent an e-mail message to Simple Technology and to Bernie Torbik, as I explained above, seeking more information and prices etc. Bernie immediately replied but Simple Technology did not. Of course, it is possible that my message did not get there, though that in itself could be regarded as significant. In two prompt replies Bernie has provided an excellent summary of the Viking flash cards with the address of the site to visit (which I did) for technical data:- Although not up on the technical aspects, I have been left feeling confident that Viking cards can be plugged straight into the 200LX and will give fast, reliable performance with no voltage problems and they can be used with Stacker and "hot swapped". There is a new 48Mb compact flash card (which has its own adaptor) due very soon for around $300 and sometime in April there will be a 160Mb card possibly under $1,000 in price. Bernie also provided the names of two other well-satisfied users whose names might be familiar to most of you, so you can follow this up with Bernie. He deserves consideration. I am bound to say that I have no interest in Shore Systems and have had no previous dealings with them or Bernie Torbik and have had no special offers made to me. I am passing this information on for the benefit of readers, since the topic has already been raised. If I hear from Simple Technology, I shall let the HPLX Mailing List know. Happy palmtopping!

It's about the same size with a flash, LCD, and takes compact flash cards. LXDC won't run with it on your HP200LX so you can't view them there.

OK, XTree Gold does just this, highlight an exe, com or bat file and press x and you get an available mem prompt with a history list that is editable, run the prog and you can come back and do it again or type Alt+x and get a shelled out max memory editable prompt.

Viking is located a short distance from our Belmont Shore, CA office. Viking's CF cards are superior to those made by SanDisk for Psion for four reasons. First, the read/write speeds are much faster due to Viking's use of the Lexar www.lexr.com controller. Transfer speeds in burst mode are up to 10MB per second from host to interface for Viking vs. 5-6MB for SanDisk. Typical, continuous write speeds are 750Kb per second for Viking vs. 450-500Kb for SanDisk. Second, power consumption is lower in sleep and write mode; about 30% less than SanDisk. Viking's power use is 20-32 mA in 3.3 volt write mode vs. 32-45 mA for SanDisk. Third, we have much higher capacity cards than SanDisk (32Mb at present; 48Mb in Feb98) at a cost/MB that is 50% less than SanDisk. For instance, our 24MB card sells for $209; the same (and largest) capacity SanDisk card is sold for $339. Some concern was expressed that CF cards used with an adapter might be damaged after extended use. This is simply not the case, as there are no moving/mechanical parts involved with the adapter. The adapter that is inserted into a PC Card slot is a regular PC Card. It would be subject to the same strain that a conventional PC Card would encounter. Our prices for Viking's cards are: 24Mb/$209 and 32Mb/$269. The 48Mb card, when available in Feb, will be $349. We provide a 5-yr warranty from Viking and a 30-day money back exchange policy. We can include an adapter for $15 if you need one for use of the CF card in a notebook PC. All cards are pretested before ship for HP200LX compatibility. The same card can be used in any HP3/6x0LX or Psion 5. Ship is $12 overnight in US; $18/UK; $23/EU and takes 4-5 days to reach your customer's door from LA. VISA/MC accepted. Orders may be faxed to 562.439.3678 or call 213.848.2450 x207 LA time. If order is emailed, pls break it up into 2 or more msgs for security reasons. Pls let me know if you need any further info.

Uhh no. The camera uses a *.K25 special format when creating a picture within the camera. Other formats -- i.e. .TIF, .GIF, .JPG -- cannot be viewed in the camera. If you use Kodak's software included with the kit, you can move the .K25 file to your personal computer and modify it which then requires that the file be saved as a .TIF file (uncompressed). Using the CF card in the HP200LX allows you some storage by moving the files from the a drive to c drive. Of course the more RAM you have the more you can store. I have heard that someone is working on being able to view the pictures with the HP200LX. Stay tuned... HTH = Hope this helps.

Recent comments on Simple cards have indicated noticeable decreased battery life. The test results that Longden posted this morning (U.S.) show larger speed differential, but the Viking card was stacked. Even still, Simple scored 5.55 to 7 and 10x slower for stacking seems high if close to equivalent.

Jeff, we may be talking apples and oranges here. The only Viking posted was a Stacked 4mb ATA....and who knows how old that one may be or which controller it uses? Someone with results from a Viking 32mb CF? (or a recent 40mb ATA).

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hi, As I have said many times- I am not a programmer since I don't know much of it. However, with some studies of Japanese EXM programs and some major help from for example Toshiki, I have now created an exm program which I call HP Alarm Clock. The basics is there but since I have to travel for a week or so, I will not be able do a real good check for bugs. I would like to release the program very soon since I have worked on it for over a month, so I would highly appreciate some help. If you have a HP 200LX normal speed/double speed or a HP 100LX, I would like to hear from you. If you reply to this message, please let me know which kind of palmtop you have. What do you have to do? Simply install my EXM program and try it out and give me your comments such as found bugs and so on. There is no documentation yet, so just install it and check if you are able to use the program. I guess this is a good way to see if you are able to use it without to much problems. The program: As I know, this will be the first 3rd party EXM program with an Alarm which can wake up the palmtop and let an alarm sound disturb you. This even if you exit the program itself. Why this program: I am playing with my palmtop until late nights or I watch a good movie on the HBO. So I seldom go to sleep before 2:00 AM. So when it's time to wake up in the morning, no knowed program (to me) can wake me up. The ApptBook pip for a few seconds and it's not enough. I also need a clock with the time in big high resolution numbers. This program will give you this plus a configurable snooze (5-60 min). If you choose to reply to this message, please read the small help dialog in the program when you receive it (F1) so you know how to stop the alarm. I need about 10- 20 beta testers. if you are not choosen, the program will hopefully soon be available on the SUPER site (www.palmtop.net). It's not easy to make an alarm clock which works together with the StopWatch and ApptBook, that's why I need you as a tester.

The following post relates specifically to running microsoft windows on the 200lx - those who loathe the idea of doing this are warned in advance and may cash in their tokens now... ------------------*--------------*------------*----------------- There has recently been some discussion about windows/word/excel on the 200lx and perhaps much speculation on just how much it all swallows in terms of memory, disk space and blood pressure :-) I can't comment on the last one but i'm happy to provide some tried and tested stats of the installation on my 2x 5mb 200lx for those who may be interested. First off let me say that i have skipped win 1 & 2 and have used and tested only 3.0 since it is the latest release capable of running on my trusty lx and perhaps the most feature-rich (or bug-rich, all a matter of your perspective ). Disk Requirements ----------------- These figures represent my attempts at finding the min. installed size consistent with a proper look (program groups full of icons that don't actually point to installed programs ) and function. Helpfiles and utils - including control panel are removed. Windows main directory: 138k Windows system directory: 843k ---- 981K (no need to blink you saw right ) =3D=3D=3D=3D Excel 2.1: 720k Word 1.0: 952k The whole package will 'cost' you (believe it or not): 2653k! But remember folks: this is the stripped-down version, the full-featured versions are going to *really* swallow that new CF card you just got... :-) Okay you ask: but how much memory do i need? Not that much actually. Here are my figures:- Before loading Win30 After loading* -------------------- -------------- Conventional 458,752kb 305,000kb EMS** 102,304kb N/A *** * reported by the program manager's Help, About function. ** The full ems pool is being shared by Maxdos and win30. Maxdos puts = its swapfile into ems on my machine and the balance is available for = win30. This creates a swap time that would make software carousel cringe = with envy :-) *** Win 30 does not directly use ems but word and excel can. As you may have realised, i start windows from *within* the sysmgr using a 'jp' icon! The time it takes me from the keypress to arrive at the program manager screen with my mouse emulator all ready to go is........... 15 seconds - FLAT. That's off a compressed exp's f: drive too. My 233mmx pentium can't touch that when loading win95 :-) Finally, here are the free mem figures with excel 2.1 loaded but no workbook opened: Conventional 95k EMS 97k I have noticed that excel uses the ems *first* when opening a file then drops back to the conventional stuff. The above figures mean that i can easily manipulate a 150k workbook (or 3-50k workbooks) without problems. I believe jeff already has win30 on his ftp site and for those looking for a thrilling ride.... you've come to the right place...!

The best advice I can give is to put the files onto floppies, you can cram several 320k's worth onto one 1.4 and do an install and choose your options carefully to get a small result.

Win 3.0 apps ÝRE: Win 2.03¨ There's something about runnning Win 2.03 (or 1.0!) in 1998 that's just really cool, at least to me. Part of it is that I'm a bit of a technological-antiques collector (old computers, calculators, telephones, etc.), and I guess part of it is that I work at Microsoft but only joined in 1992. At that point, Win 3.1 had already made it big, Windows NT was within months of being released, and the difference between PC and "real computer" had pretty much disappeared. In other words, PCs had already begun matching X/Unix for bloatware. At any rate, it does seem like the available DOS apps are better than the Windows apps available for even Win 3.0 (running under real mode). E.g., Word 6.0 for DOS is much more complete than Word 1.1 for Windows (the last version that runs in real mode... it's a real shame that Word 2.0 for Windows doesn't run in real mode). - Joe Joseph S.

The collection is called "LXPPP", and version 0.4 beta is now available from my web site. The first goal of LXPPP is that it should be possible to connect to your ISP via PPP and transfer email between your POP mailbox and your HP200LX without having to exit from the System Manager. The second goal of LXPPP is that you should be able to do this without paying anyone any money for the software. The third goal of LXPPP is that you should be able to modify and recompile the software on the HP200LX (assuming you've got Borland C++ 2.0 and a large enough flash card). The current functionality allows you to connect to your ISP via a PPP packet driver, upload outgoing news and mail from your Palmtop News Reader (PNR) reply directory and download incoming mail to your PNR spool directory. I hope to include a complete set of utilities for all those things you're used to doing under Unix (like ping, ftp, telnet, etc.) - hopefully I can get the source code to these. There is not much documentation as yet, but I have made the source code available in a separate file. For those of you who are very brave, this package will allow you to retrieve your POP mail from a DOS box inside System Manager using less than 150k of memory, and then read it using pnrti and pnr. To use this package, you will need to know how to install a PPP packet driver and how to configure a WATTCP.CFG file. Instructions for doing these things can be found in the dosppp and wattcp packages. I have included links to these packages on my web site. If you have never used PPP on your palmtop before, then you may find this difficult to install and use (on the other hand, you might get it to work first time and be completely satisfied). If you get LXPPP to work, please send me email. If you get it to work, and find a bug, definately send me email. If you can get your PPP connection to work (i.e. you can PING other hosts), but can't get LXPPP to work, please send me email and I'll try to help you. If you can't get your PPP connection to work, then you're on your own until the production release of LXPPP. When LXPPP is stable, I will submit it to the S.U.P.E.R. site (where it will join my ExmBatch package, which also includes source code). -- Rod Whitby (rwhitby@geocities.com) -- Web: -- Yes, you had to read all the way to the bottom to get the URL :-) -------------------------------------------- ***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, 28 Jan 1998 17:40:33 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Joe Barrera Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Joe Barrera Subject: Re: DOS apps v.

Jim, Check out LXMIDI on the SUPER site. It plays polyphonic music through the speaker in your hplx! This is a very cool piece of software that you are obligated to try if you are interested in music on your hplx. :) Note that there is a limitation on sound-quality... There are many MIDI files available on the web; some of them very good. There are also many folk songs in ABC notation - and a ABC2MIDI converter is available. An idea: put some MIDI files on the SUPER site. Unfortunately, I've wiped mine for the moment: Sweet Lullaby (deep forest); and another unnamed one... I don't know how you would invoke this program from the alarm - that's what you want; but I'm sure that Jorgen could arrange an option for his alarm program that invokes a batch file when the alarm goes off...

The phonebook, apptbook, database etc.. are all very solid performers and i wouldn't trade them either. However, the weakest link in the built-in apps (100 & 200lx) has widely been regarded as its word processing capability. Just look at a psion or winCE machine and you'll see my point. Also, for users who have need for a more versatile spreadsheet program than the 123 in the rom and carry only the 200lx, windows offers some exciting possibilities and makes both the psion and winCE units pale by comparison...

It sure was nice to be able to use cc:Mail mobile in the palmtop as it is fully sysmanager compliant, as opposed to nettamer which requires me to shell out to dos and there is no cut-n-paste and no switching between apps.

You'll have to replace it by the 4MB daughterboard with which you upgraded your 1MB machine. Then, you can always put that 2MB board in the 1;B model for a total of 3MB. By the way, the daughterboard in the 4MB model, is designed for TWO DRAM chips. Just soldering a second one would be enough to get 6MB, and the required chips are easy to get, mainly from old laptop memory upgrades. Regards.

On this page I will place links to packages that can be recompiled *on* the HP200LX. In the future, the page will also contain instructions on how to recompile all those wonderful Japanese HP200LX programs out there. Any author who releases source code for a program that will run on the HP200LX will gain an honoured place on the "HP200LX Source Code Home Page". I'm trying to encourage authors to release their source code for everyone to learn from. My feeling (and I'm sure there are those that will disagree with me) is that there isn't enough people using the HP200LX to make money out of trying to sell your programs. You've benefited from free software written by others, so releasing your source code is a way of "giving something back" to all HP200LX users (especially those in the future who want to create new programs for the HP200LX). It also allows someone else to "pick up the ball" when an author is no longer able or willing to support a piece of software. Look at what source code availability did for Linux ! Why shouldn't we strive for similar achievements ? So send me URLs for useful packages that contain source code, and I'll add them to the page. And bookmark the page as your on-line HP200LX programming tutorial centre. While you're there, check out ExmBatch and LXPPP ... :-) ÝBTW, I use HP200LX as a generic term for HP95LX, HP100LX and HP200LX - hope that doesn't offend any HP95LX or HP100LX users.¨ -- Rod Whitby (rwhitby@geocities.com) -- Web: -------------------------------------------- ***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, 29 Jan 1998 21:50:24 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Philip Seyer Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Philip Seyer Subject: Re: Autoexec.bat Comments: To: "Claud G.

The modem comes with a cable to hook to a Motorola Flip cell phone, but unfortunately I own an Elite Flip phone and Motorola has a cable for $49 plus shipping. Finally, my question. Before I put out this kind of cash, does anyone have one these modems and what is your experience (especially via cellular phone). In addition, if anyone is interested in buying one too, email me off-line. I think more than one is available. Thanks for the benefit of your experiences.

The phonebook, apptbook, database etc.. are all very solid performers and i wouldn't trade them either. However, the weakest link in the built-in apps (100 & 200lx) has widely been regarded as its word processing capability. Just look at a psion or winCE machine and you'll see my point. Also, for users who have need for a more versatile spreadsheet program than the 123 in the rom and carry only the 200lx, windows offers some exciting possibilities and makes both the psion and winCE units pale by comparison...

I think they're like our regular PCMCIA flash cards, but in a smaller form factor to accomodate newer devices (smaller PDAs and digital cameras). I believe there's a website that deals with the CompactFlash specs, but I don't recall the URL.

Any comments? Only that there's a danger in one's tendency to use all available space. If you have only 490K left on your system (in the near future), you then won't be able to unpack tcc to do a compile. That and the time and incovenience of zip/unzipping.

I use the ApptBook alarm to trigger a macro on a nightly basis to close all applications prior to starting a backup ({More}{Menu}{Enter}L{More}). Periodically, I wokeup to find the LX locked up on the AppMgr display and the backup had not been performed (tho apps were closed). I finally isolated the problem. Long ago, I modified my AppMgr screen (per the FAQ) and moved the Filer icon to the first position and did the trick to make it closeable (like CloseFiler). The lockup occurs when Filer has never been opened (since an AppMgr startup) and hence is not closeable. The workaround has been to add a {Filer}{Filer} to the start of my macro to ensure that Filer is in a closeable state. The quirky thing is that if I run this macro manually (ie, by pressing Fn-F7), it never locks. - 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, 29 Jan 1998 12:32:38 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Mike Schiraldi Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mike Schiraldi Subject: Scancode for blue keys, FN MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I notice that the blue keys and the FN button actually work in DOS - they have scan codes and all that.

Thanks Bas! It was me, and it was some time ago. Kudos to you on your memory. I= use NetTamer only as a back up when POST/LX fails me, but when you are trying to wade through error messages that include the entire text of the bounced message (real pain for the DIGESTS) it is alot easier than going back to the list and using the arrow.

Our network at work uses 10BaseT cabling, but I don't know what else I need to know to buy the right card. Can anyone tell me what I need to know about the network to talk to vendors? David, I've tried the Xircom, 3Com and Silicom nework cards in my HP200 and the ONLY one which works is the Silicom. The others report they are working, diagnostics work, even report the MAC address of the card etc. But do not Transmit! This is due to the limited current available in the HP's PCMCIA slot (I think about 100mA). The Silicom works fine, I've loaded up a TCP/IP stack from PC/TCP, for Telnet, Ping, FTP, BootP, etc, also had IPX running (using NetX) login into a Novell 3.12 server, also the shareware Ethload and the commercial LanWatch products monitoring, capturing and decoding Ethernet packets. (Not bad for a Palm Top!!!). Had a few problems with the RJ45 connector (the cable from the PCMCIA card to the RJ45 is very fine and doesn't crimp well, out of three cards, I had two failures!) If you want to connect to a local 10BaseT Ethernet Network, the only product that I've found to work is the Silicom. (and no I've nothing to do with Silicom, only a sad geek with an interest in Gadgets - and thats from my wife!).

I've never used CloseFiler myself...I wasn't aware that it used up memory. The FAQ can be found at the website mentioned on our list's signature line. I hope noone objects to me quoting it here on that subject. - Longden Q: What's the "disable filer" trick? A: As shipped by HP, the application manager always keeps the filer in memory, consuming approx 58K of RAM. This is so that, if you run out of disk space while using an application, you can enter filer, delete some files, and save your work. The "disable filer" trick allows you to completely terminate the filer, and recover that 58K of RAM. This is undocumented, unsupported, and nobody at HP has recommended it, although several users have reported success with it. Nevertheless, please back up your disk before trying this. To disable the filer, do the following: 1) Activate the application manager (press {More}). 2) Move the filer to the first position, using F7. 3) Close the application manager. 4) Start DOS (cntl-123), and type the following: debug c:\_dat\appmgr.dat e 10a 01 w q 5) Start the application manager and move the filer back to its original position, if desired. Now, you can close the filer by first opening it, highlighting it in the application manager and pressing F6, or by menu/application/close all. The filer's quit command will behave as before, just putting the filer to sleep, not recovering the RAM. If the filer is asleep, the application manager CANNOT close it. The filer must be open (awake) for the application manager to close it. If the filer has been completely terminated (not just put to sleep), it will take two presses of the filer key to open it up again.

The Vertical Reader program has got to be one of the best programs for that task. Another simple alternative is Vernon Buerg's List program...found at most shareware sites.

I'm new to the HP world and I want to get everyone's opinion on this topic before I make a purchase decision. I own an HP200LX which has been upgraded to 8 megs and has been clock doubled. I am interested in purchasing a modem, primarily to read e-mail and the occasional web page. I would like to have the ability to connect the modem to a cellular phone as well as a land line. The questions I have are as follows: 1) Is it worth purchacing a modem faster than 28.8 (in other words, can a doublespeed 200lx keep up with the dataflow of a fast modem)? 2) At identical baud rates, is there any noticeable speed difference between using a PC card modem vs a pocket modem (this also includes the PowerTek PocketLink adapter)? 3) Where can one purchase pocket modems? (assuming there is no significant difference in transfer rates between PC and external modems)? Any recommendations for either PC card modems or pocket modems is appreciated. Thanks Jack W.

No. It is my understanding that 200LX can't transmit faster and most 33.6/56K PCMCIA modems drain too much power. One exception is the Simple Technology 33.6 Communicator with SimpleJack (like Megahertz XJACK, but better). It draws lower power and is also cellular compatible. I use it with a Motorola Elite flip phone, but cables are available for several other modems. Check out David Sargeant's web site (http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp) for an excellent and more technical review of this modem. The only draw back is you don't have access to a flash memory card with a PCMCIA modem, but you have 8Meg on board, so maybe that doesn't matter (if it does matter, see pocket discussion below). >2) At identical baud rates, is there any noticeable speed difference >between using a PC card modem vs a pocket modem (this also includes the >PowerTek PocketLink adapter)? I haven't seen any pocket modems faster than 14.4/19.2K, but I've never heard of the PocketLink. >3) Where can one purchase pocket modems? (assuming there is no significant >difference in transfer rates between PC and external modems)? I posted a message yesterday re having found some Motorola Cellect 14.4 pocket modems that are also cellular compatible. I don't know if they work with non-Motorola phones, but the cellular standard they function on is referred to as MC2. The modems I found are "factory reconditioned" from a private party. Motorola discontinued this product about 18 mos. ago. The reason I am interested in a pocket modem is the flash memory problem for email and web browsing, but cellular is important to me. My research in the List's archives indicate this is one of, if not the best, pocket modem available. I also asked and received confirmation that the asking price of $120 was very reasonable. I guess others paid significantly more in the past. If you want me to pick one up for you, email me direct offline. I am going to get them sometime this weekend and I think he has two or three avaible.

I'd prefer a viewer to an editor for the reason stated above. As it turns out, I have a licensed copy of X-Tree Gold. I hadn't considered it because I'm satisfied with the built-in file management and having duplication of functionality seems less than elegant.

I usually leave a little space on the flash card to actually put stacker.exe on the card and then make the autoexec line say a:\stacker a: this saves space on my c: drive.

The LX is a lot more powerful than the Pilot, yet no such program exists for it. The Pylon author is not interested in the LX, but maybe some of our talented LX programmers could look into this.

The Stacker.ini created when you installed in Hidden and read-only on your other computer. It is easier to make your own. Instructions on the various commands and the parameters for the Stacker.ini file are found in the stacker.hlp file in the stacker installation directory. You will need windows to read it. My stacker.ini: /DIR=C:\STAC A: /AUTO /P=10 /I- /LZS /Q- /W- 4) Reboot. At this point it should work.

Save it for further ref. 1- Start with a freshly formatted (or defragmented) card. 2- Include the following in your config.sys file: device=a:\stacker.com files=30 buffers=6 (you may use 15,5) shell=d:\dos\command.com /p d:\dos (Any device drivers needed to read drive A must be loaded before loading the stacker device driver). 3- Create a file named 'stacker.ini' in the root dir of the drive you will be compressing and type the following: /P=10 /EMS (only for those with EMS available on their 200LX) /AUTO A:\STACVOL.DSK,RP (Save this as an ascii file with carriage returns following each line). The P=10 tunes Stacker for maximum compression, ie: 'MAXSPACE'. The EMS switch saves about 35K of conventional mem. 4- Copy only these files to the 200LX: stacker.com create.com screxec.exe screxec2.exe (Total: 217,079 bytes) (These may be placed on any drive or dir but the full path will be needed to execute them. You may remove the last 3 after rebooting and successful completion). 5- Terminate Appmgr and type Ýdrive¨Ýpath¨ create a: /s=0 /r=2.5 This will create a hidden stacvol.dsk on drive A using all the available space with a comp ratio calculated at 2.5:1. 6- Reboot and you're finished. Now, wasn't this *easy* . Sidebar: Stacker 3 includes a file called stackpalm.exe which makes light work of the above and even edits config.sys for you (of course version 3 uses no ini file).

Your cellphone (Depending on type) will run at 9600 so speed is not a factor in the purchasing decision when using cellular only. The cellular compatability of newer modems is better at holding data integrity especially if moving between cells and the most important feature of a cellular modem for 200lx is the modem's power consumption. The peak power consumption should be 150mA or less. I use a combination of HP200lx + StarTac phone + APEX ClipperCom World V.34 33.6/data 14.4/fax modem card and NetTamer software (Ver 1.08pt) and Shier NiMh batteries to do email and news with the occasional browse. I started with a Practical periferals 14.4 pocket modem that was good but an extra box & wires to carry - if it was left at home on the desk it was easier (and less battery cost) to fire up CIM on the 486. (before internet with Compuserve) Next I tried an XJ1144 pc card that meant no wires to carry as I pulled the RJ11 connector from the back of the nearest phone to connect to... With a 2Meg 200lx and no Ram on the card for software this became a pain when my email and forum/news volumes increased so it came to live in a notebook (pre ram-upgrade days) The next step was an EXP1414lxm/4m card that was perfect with the on board ram but was back to a wire to carry and in the last year was retired as it had no cellular connectability Since You have C:\=8mb I suggest a similar cellular modem to APEX . I have cut down the PC Card to CellPhone cable to 5inches and pack my mobile office in a Covertec belt pouch (designed for Psion) that has a draw type arrangement in behind the main pouch with storage for 2 Psion "fits nobody else" type cards. The compartment can easily be modified to hold the cellular PC Card and the curled up short cable. This is an extremely compact mobile internet setup with enough battery life for up to an hour online which will quickly add zeros to your cellular connection account!

There are several ways to do this. You could match two regular expressions at the same time and use the exclamation mark, which means NOT: /Cats/ && !/¬ / { print } This is basically "If it matches 'Cats' AND NOT 'beginning of line + eight spaces' then execute whatever is in { } (in this case print) You can go even further. For example the following will print all nice animals, and all those cats which are not indented too far (if you don't mind my the abuse of the English language. How do you indent a cat? :-) : (/Cats/ && !/¬ /) || /nice/ { print } Regular expressions are quite powerful and very cool. (And thanks most go to Jorgen Dybdahl and Brendan for introducing me to Awk, Sed, and other Unix peculiarities. Yes gentlemen, you are responsible for many a sleepless night ;-) You can find the Gawk (Gnu Awk) manual at: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/texinfodoc/gawk_toc.html Even if you're not using gwak (and on the LX I urge you not to!) the manual is still pretty interesting.

Sadly, the fact that HTML doesn't include 'space', but merely considers it a seperator can be annoying at times and   makes far too small spaces to be useful.

I think I know this one, it happened to me with an internal web server at work the other day. If a Microsoft Webserver restarts and can't find the default web page that the user configured; it displays a page about Microsoft web server products... so it probably isn't a conspiracy, just a missing index.html (or whatever) file. ---jws John Stafford -- http://pw2.netcom.com/~johnws/index.html -- johnws@ix.netcom.com ...................

I'm not sure if the palmtop cc:Mail can be used - think the Cserve gateway needs "scripting" to get through, and the palmtop version doesn't have that. Could be wrong though > Trouble was, > once again, money, here in Auckland, they are far and away the > most expensive IsP, more than Three times as expensive as their > nearest competitor. $6.00 per hour Plus monthly charges, Plus > download charges!!! Affirmative about the expense! However at the moment (well, for the last 2 months) the Cserve PPP has been much better than any other Local ISP I've tried for offshore links. I've tried XTRA, IBM. Seems Cserve have a dedicated link out of NZ - so sometimes it is up when everybody else is down. I also try ACTRIX occasionally. The Cserve PPP is very stable as well - no annoying pauses for keepalives or whatever. At the moment anyway If you use Cserve on behalf of an educarional institution you can get 20 hours a month for $25. Above 20 is at $5.50. Otherwise there are 3 plans: Standard: $17/month for 2 hours, then $5.50/hr Super Value: $39.50/month for 10 hrs, then $3.95/hr Power!!: $70/month for 25 hrs, then $3.95/hr So up to 6 hrs per month the Standard is cheapest, then up to 18 hrs per month the Super Value, thereafter "Power"!. There are no extra charges for "downloads" or Email. It's maybe not quite 3* anything else. Possibly more like double. But if you could swing the "educational" plan.. that looks areally good deal! Cserve does have sone "premium services" that you pay extra for, and things like fax/telex/postal have special charges.

There are _lots_ of grep implementations availiable. A good and fast (the fastest I have seen) is Xgrep, availiable from Garbo. The link is: ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/unix/xgrep103.zip This version is written in assembler and is therefore very fast. The .com file is only 3.5kb. I've used it from my 95LX days and never had any problems. There are other implementations in the same directory as the above zip as well. If you would rather have a web interface to the files use: http://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/unix.html Please note that the commandline used in the documentation will not work with Xgrep without minor modifications which are as follows: Original: Grep &Dir = grep -in "@@" * >SCRATCH Xgrep: Grep &Dir = xgrep -yn "@@" *.* >SCRATCH ¬ ¬ ¬¬ > Can you please send me a copy with its documentation. Uuh, okay. Although you could've gotten it yourself...

I have a couple of JAM archives both about a year old and lately they've been getting a bit slower. Then I read the examples of speed tests here which showed up poor JAM to be a bit slow. Anyway I read the JAM manual yesterday and discovered JMAX which re-optimizes a JAM archive. Wow, what a difference - it freed up about 40% more space and everything runs a lot faster again. I was just wondering if the person who did the JAM speed tests had run JMAX recently? I use 8K clusters and still can't figure out if JAM does anything with what would normally be "slack space"? I wouldn't be surprised if JMAX actually packs everything in 512 byte sectors, but surely the JAM FAT thing must still be cluster based? So, 1000 files take 1000 clusters even if they are only 1K each?
