I run this software in raw DOS to have plenty of memory space available. If you're running inside SYSMGR,= you NEED that =A1 (upside down exclamation mark) to stop SYSMGR from diddling the port. Instead of MEMO, consider using PalEdit, now in version 2.1 - the price is right (freeware from D&A) - and there's a spell checker (also free) for it. If you're short of drive space, there are several very tiny editors available. The only problem I've had with addresses, using Post/LX, is when trying to send to multiple locations. To do this, the addresses need to be inside the angle brackets .. ie . I'm not connected with D&A Software. Just use their products, and am happy with them. -PR ------------ Peniel Romanelli peniel@web2000.net d021785c@dc.seflin.org ******* HP100LX ---- Post/LX ---- WWW/LX ******* Miami, Florida -- Redefining the term "Political Asylum" -------------------------------------------- ***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, 1 Feb 1998 12:15:10 EST Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Cavendishl@AOL.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Lynn M.

The newer NiMH batteries can be charged with the nicad setting just fine. The only thing is, you might want to fast-charge longer than 6 hours, since NiMH's don't have a memory effect. ABC/LX or BATSET can modify the fast-charge time. -- Enter to win upgrades 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: Sun, 1 Feb 1998 13:43:57 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: Low Battery?

I believe that may vary depending on whether you're using rechargeables or not (tho it's been awhile since I've used alkalines).

Hi, I use Toshiba 1200mAh NiMh and yes, you can use Batset to set charging for longer period than the normal 6hrs high and thereafter low charge as set by the 200LX. For my batteries, it worked out to be approx. 15 hours on high in the palmtop. I can't remember the formula to work out the mAh charging period. Maybe someone on the list can help. Due to this looong period of inconvenience when charging (tethered to the power socket and all), I now charge my batteries (I got 2 pairs) outside the palmtop using Eveready quick charger (rated at 100mAh) for slighly longer than 15 hours (20 hours?).

I'm genuinely curious - do you have any specific software in mind? Or just an expectation that there *must* be (eventually) at least *some* software for the WinCE machines that is specifically designed for a palmtop, and is excellent :) MAPPING SOFTWARE For example: There is some mapping software for the Psion 3 series - a street directory type thing - specifically designed for that palmtop, and apparently very good. I *think* maps were being put out for a number of cities (beginning with London, of course) - these maps being the key point. ÝOf course, I'll now be told that something better is *already* avail for the lx - but does it have a map of Melbourne? :) ¨ ASIDE: a Psion 3 emulator on the hp200lx would be more plauisble (than a WinCE emulator), as they are machines of comparable power. (I actually think that the Psion OS is *better* than DOS (being multitasking, orthogonal, and efficient). But it's proprietory and specific, so you just don't get the range of software that DOS has). I heard there is a Nintendo Gameboy emulator available for the Psion 5 - there may never be one for DOS; but probably there would be for the WinCE range sooner or later. > Speed would not necessarily be the issue. True. But for example, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum runs on the hp200lx - at about 25% full-speed. It's true that informational software - such as a compiler - is useful no matter how slow it runs. Useful, but frustrating. I suppose mapping software that ran 2-3 times too slowly would still be very useful.... A suggestion: if you have some specific ideas in mind (even idle musings), why not voice them? I have been amazed again and again at what software *is* available for DOS (and for the lx) - and at the quality of that software. I don't think WinCE will catch up (IMhO) Of course, this does not apply to future applications, which may (or may not) be developed for DOS - such as a Java interpreter or perl5. -- Brendan Macmillan bren@cs.monash.edu.au http://www.cs.monash.edu.au/~bren PROJECT: Inferring `essence of melody' The more steeped in the art of programming, the more valued the direct hack -------------------------------------------- ***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, 2 Feb 1998 12:19:27 +1100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Brendan Macmillan Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Brendan Macmillan Subject: Re: Sales 95...200LX vs 300...620LX?

I don't have any figures, but I do have an opinion: :) It was a flop, from what I've heard. Unfortunately, the hp200lx genre is also a bit of a flop these days, too.

I suggest that the tex USENET newsgroup will have more info for you, and perhaps the dos newsgorups.

I am wondering if their strategy to focus on WinCE paid off, or was a flop.>> At Comdex, HP said in a press conference that their palmtop group sales were up 2.5 times over 1996. They did not break out DOS vs WinCE sales. I've never heard Microsoft announce WinCE sales figures, but read that someone reported that they said total shipments were around 300,000 units= =2E Since the 200LX sold out of stock due to overwhelming demand, I'm guessin= g they did quite well off of 200LX and 1000CX sales last year. Their statement that they will continue to manufacture HP200LXs as long as peop= le will buy them indicates a recognition that the platform is profitable for= them, and that they aren't going to abandon a profitable platform while i= t continues to remain profitable. The fact that there was no discounting of= the 200LX vs the deep discounting of WinCE 1.0 units which went as low as= $99 supports an assumption that there is continued strong demand. Unfortunately, I've never seen a good estimate of the numbers. The best information I have says 10,000 to 15,000 units sell each month, and that there are over 1.3 million HP DOS palmtops sold to date. Of course, none = of this is confirmed by HP. Just educated guesses. I think their strategy paid off, since it gave them recognition. Also, th= e general market is much more aware of palmtops in 1997/1998 than they were= in 1995/1996. Whether they'd do better by introducing a 486 200LX as a competitor to the Libretto is anyone's guess. They seem convinced that Win95's days are numbered and that WinCE is the future direction for consumer devices. They clearly believe DOS is dead. I'm not hopeful they will develop a successor to the 200LX. But, I can see the 200LX being the= ONLY stable, mature platform on the market. Let's just hope others find value in that kind of unique product (stable, mature, powerful enough, prices will continue to decline making it more affordable). With desktops now under $1,000, and with 40% to 50% of new sub $1,000 PC sales being first time buyers, the best message people should get out for= mobile computing purposes is buy two computers for the price of one (i.e.= desktop + palmtop =3D laptop). The benefits are many. That is still an insufficiently touted message.

Date: Mon, 02 Feb 1998 16:02:03 GMT The card is a *compact* flash card -- it's the size of a book of matches. The adapter, (usually included as a $20 option), is the size of a PCMCIA card. (I have this gag going where I pull the card out of my 200lx and say "The amazing thing is not that it's a PCMCIA card, no even that it's 30MB in size, but that..." (and here I pop the compact card out of the adapter) "... you need an adapter *this big* to make it fit the 200lx." Get's 'em every time.) I got the card from firstsource.com at US$176, but I see their price is now US$206. 32bit.com seems to have it for $190. The best place to start looking is Computer ESP (http://www.uvision.com/) -- search on "compact flash" at it'll pull up a list like this: $158 20MB Compact Flash Disk Pcmcia With Adapter - SANDISK CORPORATION $173 Flash Card 24MB Compact ATA for Digital Cameras - Simple Technology, Inc. $177 15MB Digital Camera Flash Pcmcia2 - Eiger Labs Inc. $179 30MB Compactflash Film WO/ Adapter - MICROTECH INT'L $191 30MB Compactflash Film W/Adapter - MICROTECH INT'L $218 Flash Card 32MB Compact ATA for Digital Cameras - Simple Technology, Inc. $233 32MB Compact Flash Card W/Adapter for Digital Cameras - Simple Technology, Inc. $331 30MB Digital Camera Flash - Eiger Labs Inc. $442 Palmtop 320LX 4MB HPC WCE Word Excel - Hewlett-Packard Co. Each link leads to 6-12 online vendors, sorted by price.

I also have a pair of RS NiMHs > and am expecting a pair in T2Ts this week. Could be that your lot of batteries differed from mine. Also, on my last charge, the Panasonics stalled at 3.03v. These are my ABC/LX settings: Brand MaxVolt Stall MaxTime Pan 3.03 2:39 13:52 RS 2.81 4:00 15:00 Yes 2.87 4:00 15:13 T2T 2.92 4:00 16:00 On all the NiMH brands, I abritrarily increased ABC/LX's suggested stall time to 4 hours, as they sometimes can be pushed to exceed the suggested value (about 2-3 hrs), and then proceed to increase in voltage. The values were arrived at using the "auto-tune" feature on ABC/LX periodically during several weeks of use. I rarely finish a charge in 6 hours (the normal fast cycle) and let ABC/LX take over all the charging (as it was supposed to do). In turn, it basically forces fast charge for the complete duration (ie, up to 15 hours in some cases) and relies on the maximum values for stall time and voltage to avoid frying the cells. For example, the last Panasonic charge didn't reach 3.03v till after 9 hours of fast charging. Works so far. Guess I won't know for sure for another 450 charges or so whether I'm killing my batteries or not. - 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, 3 Feb 1998 07:30:57 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Laust Brock-Nannestad <di970225@DIKU.DK> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Laust Brock-Nannestad <di970225@DIKU.DK> Subject: Re: PMCIA mobile phone In-Reply-To: <199802030450.PAA29223@molly.cs.monash.edu.au> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Tue, 3 Feb 1998, Brendan Macmillan wrote: > Hi.

Ok kids, here we go P-C-M-C-I-A - People Can't Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms :-) Incidentally, this is why the standard is now (officially) renamed to PC-Cards. > Battery life is a problem (!)

What about a phone that was a standard mobile phone (albeit a very small one), but with one end formed as a PCMCIA card - thus it could be inserted into a slot without problems, although it would look slightly bulky. I think it exists but I can't remember where I saw it. > I guess the other approach is just to plug your modem into your > lx and mobile phone, and away you go!

Anyway, I've thought of this too and I'd rather have a flashcard - much cheaper in the long run (my phone bill is large enough as it is). I did dig out my old 2400baud WorldPort modem (very small), but I haven't tried it with the LX yet... 2400baud should just be enough for e-mail (but not the list). hmmm...

You should let ABC/LX "tune" your batteries to find the charging parameters that work best for it so you'll get a full capacity charge each time. The following is out of the ABC/LX documentation: "ABCTSR comes with pre-installed values for all the parameters such as the maximum charging time etc. These default values are most certainly not appropriate for your batteries since every battery is unlike any other battery. The only useful way for setting up the parameters for *your* batteries, is testing how your batteries behave while charging and setting the parameters accordingly. In order to tune ABCTSR for your batteries, the batteries should neither be completely new (=empty) nor fully charged. If your batteries are completely new, charge them first. If they are fully charged, use them in the palmtop for about one or two hours before starting the tuning. Also, tuning will take from 3 to 12 hours and you will have to run ABC.EXE as the topmost application during that time." - 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, 3 Feb 1998 08:44:32 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Sean Hoger <shoger@BUYRITE.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Sean Hoger <shoger@BUYRITE.COM> Subject: Re: Paging Program Comments: To: Jeff <jeffj@SCOTT.NET> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have some paging software that I wrote for DOS.

I bought "SKYWORD ACCESS FOR DOS" a few years ago for $19.99, and it's great, and it works fine on the 200LX, now the program it's freeware, i mean, "Skytel" is giving it as free, if you want a copy, email me, and i will send it to you Hope this helps Martin Marseb@giga.com.ar -------------------------------------------- ***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, 3 Feb 1998 09:01:54 -0800 Reply-To: "Longden C.

Loo" <lloo@WORLD.NORTHGRUM.COM> Subject: Dual LX synching using LapLink Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII This may be old stuff, but recent postings from people with spare LX's and trying to synch them via IR made me wonder about using Laplink. I know Filer can do the job...the problem, as others pointed out, is that synching becomes a manual process (select files, copy or move, repeat on the other system). I found that you can set up one LX as a Laplink server and the other as the client and run straight DOS to access the files on the server via Laplink/IR. Running a batch file would make the updates (at least on the file level) as easy a one command. I plan on experimenting with the bac.com copy command (an oldie from PC Magazine) that only overwrites copies of duplicate files depending on the source/target dates...otherwise its like a straight copy command. If anyone wants to know...these are the setups: Server LX (will act as a slave system): -exit to DOS -type 'llras' command to load Laplink -type '200' to start AppMgr -pick 'Laplink Remote' icon -press 'f4' for IR -screen should show "waiting for connection" Client LX (will be able to access server LX's drives from DOS): -exit to DOS -type 'llrair' command to load Laplink using IR -point IR ports at each other -wait for server screen to change from "waiting" to "connected" (takes about 10 secs) -now from client, you should be able to do a "dir g:" which will display the directory of the server's C drive. -I was able to copy some 600k of file data from the server drive to the client drive without problems using straight 'copy' from DOS. note: I noticed that some commands will break the connection and then I couldn't restart the connection without rebooting the client LX and redoing the client steps. Going '200'/Filer will display a whole slew of drives (A-H?), but attempting to pick the G: drive breaks the connection. Of course, if you wanted to use Filer in the first place, you wouldn't bother with LapLink <g>. On a related note...I believe someone mentioned using a spare LX as an external modem....an interesting idea that a cheap 14.4k Card modem and a cheap LX (ie, less than pristine) may make a substitute pocket modem. - 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, 3 Feb 1998 15:30:34 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, John Musielewicz <musi0009@TC.UMN.EDU> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: John Musielewicz <musi0009@TC.UMN.EDU> Subject: 32 meg upgrade Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hello I have heard there is a 32meg ram upgrade availible in Japan.

OK, so here's the deal, my latest project, i have looked at the Newton keyboard and it is well made and has a good feel to the key-presses, but it is no better than the LX when it comes to having no discreet Page-Up Page-Down keys and all the other ones so easily reached on a PC keyboard. i touch-type, so can do everything on a standars 102 without having to look, using RemKey, i can connect via cable to the back of a PC and use it's keyboard to input data nad run programs on the LX which is wonderful, but you are chained to a great, humming paper weight/wait. i want to break free! Well said Freddy Mercury... The reason the Newton keyboard works, is it has a simple serial interface, whereas the PC keyboard(at least those made after 1987!) is not serial and requires interfacing. www.hagstromelectronics.com specialises in keyboard interfaces and i have contacted them, they see no problems, especially if we work with the two programmers that did RemKey and the Newton tsr. Depending on the interest, they can either modify an existing unit, or build a custom one. We envisage a box about 1/2 the size of a match-box(hope everybody remembers those!) with a CR2030 cell or maybe an AA cell, a female keyboard interface on one side and a 232 male interface on the other. This would allow you to carry a tiny box which would connect almost any PC keyboard to your LX, you could borrow one, or the other idea i had was an add-on for a standard $20.00 keyboard of a plate that attaches by spring clips and has a double-jointed fold around plate which the LX would snap into and a couple of swing out extensions to stabilise the keyboard on your legs, or they could stay swiveled in if using a table. i feel certain we could do it for less than or equal to the Newton keyboard price.

The collection is called "LXPPP", and version 0.5 beta is now available from my web site. Version 0.4 beta is actually being used by a number of people now, and version 0.5 beta has the following improvements over version 0.4: Version 0.5 - February 1998 (Adelaide, Australia) ------------------------------------------------- If pophost is not specified, then don't try to access it. Same for smtphost and nntphost. If the password is not specified, then prompt for it. Added the maximum size parameters. Added line debugging for socket errors. 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: <http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/8287/> -- 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: Tue, 3 Feb 1998 16:04:11 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, "Claud G.

The procedures that T2T gave for opening the HP were outstanding. Clear, with good illustrations to back up the written directions. I had difficulty wicking all of the solder out of the crystal holes, so I ended up heating the leads and pushing them through. I also managed to spatter a little solder on the nearby CPU pins, but cleaned it up nicely with solder wick. It may sound like I am a complete oaf with a soldering iron, but I am not. At least not a _complete_ oaf. I think that if you are not really comfortable with a soldering iron, it is probably worth the peace of mind to send the calculator to T2T and pay the small fee they charge to install the crystal. I have to admit I had some trepidation until I ran the ESC/ON diagnostics. One interesting side effect when running those diagnostics is that the timers are reported as bad - with a value twice what is expected. There must be another timekeeping device built into the HP200 somewhere. I got one of the $69 4Meg upgrades from NSW before they got out of the business, and I believe it is available still at $75 from an ad I saw on S.U.P.E.R. Although their disassembly instructions were not as good as T2T, the actual installation is trivial. I strongly recommend that if you haven't done this upgrade, it is still worthwhile at $75. As far as performance goes, the speed upgrade makes a big difference. I have a personnel database with 130 people, and a phone database with over 300 entries, and I was used to type in the search letters, and then looking away for a few seconds while the HP caught up. No more- by the time I type the first four letters of someone's name their record is on screen and ready to go - worth the price of admission right there. I got the 4Meg upgrade with the intention of using the EMM200 driver, but it did not work for me. When I ran MAKEEMS, I got a 1meg read only EMS file, but when I did a chkdsk on it, it was not contiguous blocks. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? If so, could you email the file/info to ShirleeMc@worldnet.att.net. My command line consisted of: makeems 64 Thanks in advance. I am trying to get the EMS to work in the hopes of installing Turbo C++ version 3.0 on the HP200. Has anyone out there done that successfully? I have been running Turbo C version 1.5 and was hoping to branch into C++, but that will be dependent on my ability to get this running. As a final note, in the line of don't you be as stupid as I was, I backed up all my files before securing the HP200 for the upgrade process, just like the directions say. What I did not do was to CLOSE!!!! the applications before backing them up. This is particularly important for the APPT.ADB file, which is why I have spent the last day trying to recover data from a corrupted ADB file and will spend most of this evening rekeying in the data. Learn from my mistake and make sure all the applications are closed prior to shutting down for the installation. Good luck to all that try the upgrades - My next purchase is to get the "more better" NiMH batteries from T2T!!

Thanks Jeff, what kinds of numbers did auto-tune give you for max voltage, stall time and maximum charge time? I have 1200mAh Radio Shacks and I have those numbers set to 2.81 volt, 4hrs, and 15hrs max., but my numbers may not be good for you as there's apparently significant variation even between batches of the same type of battery (per the makers of ABC/LX). If the batteries are new, it sometimes takes several charges before they seem to stabilize. Also some members report lower than expected usage times with the RS 1200mAh cells for unknown reasons. My Panasonic 1100mAh outperformed them in a simple loop-till-death test. - 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: Tue, 3 Feb 1998 21:24:51 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Jeff <jeffj@SCOTT.NET> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Peniel Romanelli <peniel@WEB2000.NET> Subject: Re: NiMH & ABC/LX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Jeff <jeffj@SCOTT.NET> wrote: > I am using 1200mAh NiMH batteries and have used the > auto-tune feature of ABC/LX but for some reason, the auto-tune does= not > seem to correctly configure the program.

Thanks in advance!!! Hi Jeff & group- I've had this same thing happen with a set of RS 1200 mAHr NiMHs. Last 2 cycles, I manually configured ABC/LX to stop at 2.83V or 4Hr stall time, or 12Hrs total. This gives about 8Hrs charging, and 5-6 hours= of use between charges. (Single speed 1Meg 100LX with 15Meg 12V San Disk). May try increasing the stall time to 6Hrs and see how that works. I think I'll probably go back to the RS 850mAHr NiCds, but I'll try to give the NiMH a fair trial. -PR ------------ Peniel Romanelli peniel@web2000.net d021785c@dc.seflin.org ******* HP100LX ---- Post/LX ---- WWW/LX ******* Miami, Florida -- Redefining the term "Political Asylum" -------------------------------------------- ***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, 3 Feb 1998 21:43:29 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, John Musielewicz <musi0009@TC.UMN.EDU> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: John Musielewicz <musi0009@TC.UMN.EDU> Subject: Re: NiMH & ABC/LX Comments: To: Jeff <jeffj@SCOTT.NET> In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.3.91.980203193412.7741A-100000@koala.scott.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" you might have to tweak the values a little.

I guess I'm just wondering if it would be >safe to either increase the maximum voltage, the stall time or both? I doubt that you'd get much more life out of the cells by taking them to 2.83. But if you're concerned that you're undercharging unnecesarily, you may want to run auto-tune again. It basically tries to find your batteries limits. Since you're not doing this on a regular basis, I'm guessing this won't cause significant lasting damage. What I do is: - during regular charging with ABC/LX, I check the reason (F7) for the completion. - if several charge cycles complete where the maximum voltage was reached, I try either auto-tuning again or manually tweaking the voltage UP a bit - if several charge cycles complete where the stall limit was reached, I try LOWERING the voltage a bit. The documentation said to expect the numbers to change as the batteries age and lose their ability to hold a charge, or to reach former voltage levels. This doesn't sound like your case as yours are new. As I said earlier, the 1200mAh Radio Shack NiMH's have been something of a disappointment. All I can suggest is that we keep trying different cells to look for something with more "umph". If nothing else, at least you'll have a decent supply of rechargeables (which you can use for other things too). I've been happy with the Times2Tech cells, which rate at 1350mAh. - 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, 4 Feb 1998 01:58:00 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, kilgore@PYLON.PILLAR.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Stan Hall <kilgore@PYLON.PILLAR.COM> Organization: Pillar Communication Subject: Re: Speed upgrade and memory upgrade Comments: To: Brendan Macmillan <bren@CS.MONASH.EDU.AU> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Brendan Macmillan wrote: > > I got one of the $69 4Meg upgrades from NSW before they got out of the > > business, and I believe it is available still at $75 from an ad I saw on > > S.U.P.E.R. > > Anyone know if this is still true? I do not know if they still have any available (I got mine though), but check out Marcan Distribution : Network at: http://www.marcan-dist.com/ They are the new distributor for the former NSW 4MB upgrade. The kit is $75 including torx bit and connector and $69 for just the upgrade board. I do not know if they are offering free installation as NSW did.

In the case of the japanese upgrade, yes. The mainboard memory must be removed because the RAS line that controls it must be used for the upgrade. BTW, up to 32MB can be connected per RAS line, though the BIOS (i.e. RAM disk driver) seems to support only 8MB. This means that a 32MB upgrade without removing the onboard RAM is possible (for a total of 34MB), but a new RAM driver would have to be written. Regards.

If you now have a 200lx (and maybe a cellular phone with data compatibility) I think you'd better check for a PCMCIA modem wich will connect to you phone. If you look well, you might find a modem with cellular, landline AND ISDN.

Comments: To: striegel@pios.com MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT From several sources, I think we can begin to narrow in on an answer: PC Week reported in May of last year the following figures from Dataquest for 1996 sales of "standard hand-held computers": o over 700,000 units sold o PalmPilot led with 51% market share (357,000) o Hewlett Packard took 25% of the market (175,000) Since we know something of the estimated total, along with the fact that Windows CE machines were only introduced in November, 1996, we should be able to take a stab at the number of HP 200LX's (and immediate kin) sold that year. Would 120,000 be a fair guess? Too low? - probably. So if the market for WinCE really took off in 1997, when Windows Magazine reported in December, 1997 that their best-estimate survey figured 200,000 to 300,000 WinCE machines had been sold since their introduction (maybe almost 10 months - taking into account the magazine's lead time) then Carl Merkle's statement about HP's Comdex press conference report that they had 2.5 times the previous year's sales for the handhelds might lead us to some remarkable conclusions. Either HP's share of the WinCE market was really large (in a field of probably eight major offerings ÝPhillips, HP, Sharp, NEC, Hitachi, LG Electronics , Compaq, Casio¨) *or* The palmtops we all love had a tremendous year!

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello again- More thoughts on the subject of batteries. John pointed out that it would take 18 hours to charge 1200mAHr NiMH batteries from 0V in the palmtop. Of course we can't use them to full discharge. In my palmtop I get 5-6 hrs on the NiMH after about 8 hrs charging. If they're actually full after 8 hours (44% of a complete charge) then it would seem that less than half their capacity is usable on the palmtops. = Interestingly - the 850mAHr RS NiCads give me about 8-11 hours of use.= Charging is usually about 8-9 hours. The difference is probably due to the discharge curves of the two types. NiCads maintain between 1.2-1.25V per cell until almost empty, then drop rapidly. NiMH seem to discharge more gradually, so it's possible thal they drop below a useable voltage (for the palmtop) long before completely empty. Also NiMH have a nominal rating of 1.2V compared to 1.25 for NiCads, so they start out somewhat lower. As someone pointed out, there's a lot of variation in batteries, even in the same brand. Also there is probably some variation in the HP's internal A-D convertor. This is probably no better than + or - one bit, (24mV in the palmtop), so your batteries may peak at a quite different voltage reading from mine. -PR ------------ Peniel Romanelli peniel@web2000.net d021785c@dc.seflin.org ******* HP100LX ---- Post/LX ---- WWW/LX ******* Miami, Florida -- Redefining the term "Political Asylum" -------------------------------------------- ***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, 4 Feb 1998 10:32:56 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Phil Drummond <phil_drummond@PAGENET.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Phil Drummond <phil_drummond@PAGENET.COM> Subject: Re: PC keyboard for the LX! Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I again take this opportunity to suggest the Keytronics IR keyboards as a possible "link" to the full-sized keyboard quest. I assume all that would be required would be a driver, no additional power sources, no cables, no modifications (warrantee voiding stuff), and best of all, the same keyboard for desktop and palmtop (the keytronic keyboards will talk to as many as 4 systems with nothing but a keystroke to "switch" between systems). An additional incentive is that several different keyboards (Keytronic) exist, some with trackball, some with touch pad, some in black plastic, and so-on.

This mail is pretty long but I = have to voice my regretful experience with HP in case some poor soul in = this country has the same predicament I'm in right now. Incident #1 About a year ago, after using the 200LX for a year, I begin to explore = the potential of using the cc:Mail feature of "Interactively connecting = to my post office (my office uses cc:Mail). A call to the Malaysian HP = support only waste phone bill for I'm told to call Singapore for there = isn't any support for HP200LX. I did call Singapore (good thing my = office pays the bill) and was on the line for more than half an hour = (please remember that this is an international call) and finally, I gave = up because the support guy on the line didn't understand 200LX feature = of Interactive connecting to post office. (This is the second option = when you go to connect menu). Eventually, someone on this list (the old = one ran by Mitch Hamm) told me something about diff. version of VIM and = I gave up using that feature. Incident #2 When my 200LX warranty was about to expire, I wanted to purchase the = extended warranty and found out (after 3 calls to 3 diff. persons in = diff dept) that there is no such thing in Malaysia (you guys in States = are so lucky). Incident #3 Today, I made a call to HP (phone no. given by the dealer who sold the = palmtop to me) and was directed to call another no. for they do not do = support for palmtops. So, I call the no., put on hold, phone line got = cut off because I was on hold for too long and on the second call, I = managed to speak to a "palmtop support coordinator". My problem is that = I damaged my screen (yeah, these kind of things happened, a perfectly = working palmtop being murdered in my hands). I wanted to purchase a = replacement screen (or for the matter, get it repaired by HP).=20 The coordinator was helpful in giving the prices to me after I gave her = the part # (it's printed on the back of the LCD. The p/n starts with an = F1xxx so I figured that would be a HP p/n.) After telling the prices for = labour and giving me 2 p/n with 2 diff. prices, she found out that I a = user and I'm directed to call an authorised part supplier (co is Gateway = Avenue). Now, I know Gateway Avenue people and they only do laser = printers. Anyway, didn't want to argue the the coordinator and I = proceeded to call the part supplier. As expected, no such parts... So now, I'm caught in a situation where I want to get my palmtop = repaired (or replacement parts) and I'm directed to an HP parts supplier = where he don't deal with palmtop parts. ok, let's look a the options/conclusions: 1. Buy a new palmtop (the LCD would be costly anyway, maybe justifiable = to just get a new one) The price of the 200LX-4Mb is more expensive than the 320LX. The 2Mb = version is only USD15.00 cheaper the 320LX. Is this HP's way of = promoting the 320LX??? 2. Given the bad support, should I get another 200LX and instead go for = a Psion or something else? (I really love my 200LX...) I use the PIM extensively and internet/fax on the palmtop. The Psion 5 = or even the 3c fits my needs 90%. At least, I have backlight (that is = the reason why I damage my screen in the first place, trying to install = an EL panel ...) and integrated e- mail/fax sw for the Psion 5. The 3c = is also pretty good by the looks of it. 3. Send the palmtop to Thaddeus (USA) for repairs? I'd check their site and I have to pay US225.00 excluding shipping... = not cheap but under the circumstances, it may be worth a try. 4. Call HP again and this time, insist on getting the parts, maybe = paying them a visit and explain the situation? Should I? Given the atitude of the support people I'd spoken to, they = may insist that I deal with their authorised parts supplier...) If only = one person can think like someone from Fort Cornwallis....... 5.. Consider Palmpilot Pro..=20 I friend "loan" his unit to me to use it as long as I want and buy if = off him if I decide to keep it. (Incidentally, I was on the Pilot 5000 = for a period of time and eventually sold my unit to him and I went back = to the 200LX) (Pardon the self ad here....) Considering that I'm an sort of "evangelist" (that's what the mac = advocates are called) for the 200LX, appeared on TV once to talk about = the use of palmtops and PDAs, showing off my 200LX in front of the = camera; personally convinced at least 5 persons to use the 200LX instead = of some other palmtops/pdas; helped a number of users over the phone on = the use of the 200LX PIM during office hours, etc. I reckon I have to = rethink "other" palmtops instead of just HP... The thought of moving = away from this list and the 200LX is going to be very painful indeed. Thank you for your indulgence and please comment/suggest if any.

They're 21 dollars and 3 volt but I was wondering if they could be used in the palmtop. I thought using one cell and some sort of adapter in the other cells compartment would do it. Another thing. They recommend a 80ma constant current recommended and 120ma maximum for the cell for recharging and I was wondering if it could be charged in the palmtop. I looked at the diagram they have for the recharger and the only differance is they add temperature sensing resistors inbetween the battery and main charging current and one other place I can't remember now. And they use a differant method for sensing when it reaches a full charge. Do you think it would be worth it? The cells are 850mah. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 5 Feb 1998 11:12:04 +1300 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, katana@CLEAR.NET.NZ Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: David Lawrence <katana@CLEAR.NET.NZ> Subject: Re: Unknown file under filer Comments: cc: musi0009@TC.UMN.EDU On 1998-02-04 HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU said to katana@clear.net.nz >I have a file that showed up on my A: drive for some reason.

Dos has conniptions with this, as you have found out, you can't do anything in filer like delete it, and dropping to dos will get you nowhere fast. Try to get a copy of dos 6's deltree.exe This SOMETIMES works with spaces, if not, you will have to get norton disk edit or a simmilar program to get down-n-dirty at low level and change the name to one dos can see and work with. The fastest and easiest method, although a little like 5 steps back and 6 steps forward, is to carefully backup all the other files and reformat and then restore the files.

That is, your perl (or ksh or sed whatever) script begins with this line. In unix, this somehow invokes the correct script processor. In DOS, with a batch file, if it knew the file that called it, it could strip off this first line of the batch file, and send the rest to the correct script processor. This would be convenient: you could treat your sed, awk, perl, ksh, python script as batch files, and call them that way. Currently, I make a separate batch file which invokes the correct interpreter on the script - but this requires two files, hand linked.

I have been spending quite a lot of time to get my macros running again. Firstly (in version 2.0) the macros used to be in the PE.CFG file, but now they have to be exported to PE.MAC For instance the second sample macro does not work anymore. The dup-l thing. It outputs a lot of garbage. Did anybody succeed to repair this macro? (The funny thing is when I enter the key-strokes by hand, the thing works) My second question is how to find the codes of the key-strokes. Or how do I record a macro. It does not work like the pe.doc says. When I press CTRL-X to start recording a macro, the ¬X displays, but disappears right after the first key-stoke after that. There is no way that I could replay or paste the macro.

I have found the same file twice on my 100LX and backed them up on my desktop because I did not know what kind of weird use they had. I also found one such file in my windows directory and one in a directory connected with Norton (Symantec). Today I looked into them (renaming them with norton did the trick) and looked at its contents. In three of these files the content was Nettamer@dekan.com the Email address of the Nettamer list and in one case it was my own complete Email address. Seems to have something to do with Nettamer and or Norton (speeddisk perhaps?) Using Norton solved the delete problem. The files are 20 or 22 bytes. If somebody wants a look, I will be pleased to Email the files. Strange files. Even the smallest buglet can grow into the biggest netmare.

I don't think it can be done. The 100LX motherboard is different from the 200LX in the memory-chip location. There's no room for a memory upgrade socket, and thus the plugin card cannot be used. Theoretically it might be possible to upgrade by replacing the on-board chips, but this would be a hideous undertaking. It would be a lot easier (and probably cheaper) to buy a 200LX motherboard and upgrade that. -- Enter to win upgrades 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: Thu, 5 Feb 1998 16:02:09 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, "Børge Haga" <borgeh@NEXTEL.NO> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: "Børge Haga" <borgeh@NEXTEL.NO> Organization: Telenor Nextel AS Subject: Re: Idea: Business card holder ;-) Comments: To: David Mather <david@MATHER.COM> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit David Mather wrote: > -----Original Message----- > From: Bºrge Haga <borgeh@NEXTEL.NO> > To: HPLX-L@UConnVM.UConn.Edu <HPLX-L@UConnVM.UConn.Edu> > Date: Thursday, February 05, 1998 10:39 PM > Subject: Idea: Business card holder ;-) > > >While playing around with my HP200LX Palmtop I realised that the > >PCMCIA slot is great for storing my own and others business cards ;-) > >Anyone tried it?

I was watching auctions on eBay, and found out that people are often selling their CE machines for half the price (machines that are new, or couple of months old). Is it because of CE2.0, or that's some bigger trend? I don't know. I see that there is a lot of hoopla around CE, but once you get it you see that it's not what you thought it would be. I also know that, even though CE is supposedly better "technology", "usefulness" factor is much higher for 200LX. And also resale value. Anyway, I know you're after numbers. Sorry. Nedim.

I have also maintained computer equipment for years. I have owned a 100lx, a 200lx and now a 320lx. I found the 100lx to be very handy. The original justification for getting the 100lx was to use as a console when needed for a wafer saw in a small production room. We didn't have room for another terminal. As time went on, the 100lx wore out and 200lx machines came out. By this time, our production area was outlawing paper and we could justify buying a 200lx as a daytimer replacement. The 200lx makes a rather nice cleanroom dayplanner. In addition, the database was excellent for containing spare part lists for the various machines we serviced. The 200lx lasts me about 2 years in the back pocket without a case. That is longer than a wallet lasts. My workstation has been upgraded to Windows NT 4.0. I decided to evaluate the 320 lx. With Windows CE 2.0 it does connect rather well with the workstation. Windows CE 1.0 was a nightmare as well as the conversion to Windows CE 2.0. I find that I no longer use the palmtop as much as I used to. I use Schedule+ and sync with the palmtop. I find that the 320lx is slower to use. Having Excel is nice. I don't use it much. It is a bother to open and I am always having to scroll it. The stylus is a bother. I don't get the quick response that I expect. There are too many plastic covers to come off on the 320lx. I have not thrown out my 200lx. I am waiting for a big/cheap memory upgrade for the 200lx. My Windows NT 4.0 workstation has both connectivity kits installed. Both work well. The secret is configuring the serial ports before rebooting after the connectivity software install.

Dos has conniptions with this, as you have found out, you can't do anything in filer like delete it, and dropping to dos will get you nowhere fast. Try to get a copy of dos 6's deltree.exe This SOMETIMES works with spaces, if not, you will have to get norton disk edit or a simmilar program to get down-n-dirty at low level and change the name to one dos can see and work with. The fastest and easiest method, although a little like 5 steps back and 6 steps forward, is to carefully backup all the other files and reformat and then restore the files.

Anyway, this is probably the best method without external programs. 4DOS has a feature that is very similar to this, as has probably the Korn? shell downloadable from Simtel and Garbo.

Step 1: Create a batch file called #!.bat that has one line: @%0 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 (...etc as many as you want up to %127) Then include the following line (or a similar one) in the beginning of your script: #! mawk -f %0.bat %1 %2 %3 %4 (etc..) Then you can execute the script as a batch-file. I think this works in Sed and Perl and others as well. It should work in any language that uses # as a comment. Unfortunately, this method has several drawbacks: if you try to execute 'script.bat' it will try to run 'script.bat.bat' and naturally fail. It will also mess up command line switches sometimes - if you wanted to set a variable on the command line, '-v hack=1' will no longer do; you'll have to do "-v hack=1" instead (quotation marks _included_). Also, it makes certain assumtions as to the order of the arguments. For this kind of behaviour to be handled properly it will have to be handled by the shell, although a "real" program called #! (as opposed to a batch file) would be able to handle the command line better.

The shareware version comes with 4 fully scaleable fonts, and is NOT crippleware, although you get more functions in either of the 2 registered versions. Also= a lot more fonts (20 in the lower priced edition, 35 in the expensive one). The expensive version also has a utility that converts either truetype or postscript fonts to use with EVP. -PR ------------ Peniel Romanelli peniel@web2000.net d021785c@dc.seflin.org ******* HP100LX ---- Post/LX ---- WWW/LX ******* Miami, Florida -- Redefining the term "Political Asylum" -------------------------------------------- ***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, 5 Feb 1998 17:51:31 -0500 Reply-To: Richard Zuluaga <rmzuluaga@vasia.com> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Richard Zuluaga <rmzuluaga@VASIA.COM> Subject: Smart Clip MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have used the width parameter of the Smart Clip for the database to set my columnar report.

However, the other problem is that it is only rated at 850mAh. While this is a bit above the 'generic' NiCD AA, you use TWO NiCd AA's giving a total of about 1400mAh... Now, I have suggested, without serious reply from the list, that someone try stuffing in a pair of Varta "4/5A" size batteries. These guys are 5mm shorter than AA's (no problem) and 3mm larger in diameter. ***These puppies are 2100mAh EACH! ***That's like using SIX standard NiCd AA's. I think they may even come in NiMH format as well as the NiCd I am referring to (I got a brochure from the Varta website then lost it, blast!). All it would require is a bit of plastic shaving and two brass spacers; after installing my own 2x upgrade, I know there's enough room for them inside. If only I weren't a med student...

If I get a chance I'll try it... I had no luck trying to use the connectivity pack under NT (which I use at work. I also could not get Zip to work reliably. There is some software on the H.P. web site that works under Windows 3.1 & '95, but I have not yet tested it under NT. I have even had problems with W32filer (a 32-bit character mode app from the S.U.P.E.R. site or somewhere). I've had pretty decent luck with LapLink v4.0c. I think that LapLink (v4.0c that I use) and Zip are the only apps that transfer files with their attributes and timestamps intact. The other two set the archive attribute and create files with the transfer time as the creation time (under Windows '95 anyway). I really wish that I could find something that would link up with the server software that I could run interactively from a batch file like you can Zip or the connectivity pack software. I haven't seen anything like that, and doubt that that exists, or that there is enough interest from the powers that could do it to create such a thing. This lack of connectivity software and the lack of updates to the Quicken synching software (has this changed? I haven't been paying much attention recently) make me feel like my 200LX is an orphaned product (but I still love it). Wish I could supply better news.

Unless this is a humorous statment, the cumulitave time involved would be seriously depressing, not just masking. My old Osborne 128k CPM machine was almost as fast as my one meg Mac Plus (1986). Upgraded to 4 megs, my Mac Plus was still faster than my 486sx 25 mhz. I had three faster Macs in between the stinking 486sx. The Mac Plus still survives in storage. The Macs are history as I am stuck in a pentium world now. This is not to insite a platform war, only to illustrate that for most a intelligent thinkers, simple is better. The DOS based (I hate DOS, but it is simple and it works!) The 95/100/200LX is a pocket dream come true. I'm currently on my third HP palmtop since 93. Complex crap is just extra crap in you pocket.

This will tend to try to put more "juice" into the batteries. A lot of the usage time results depends on what you do. If you write a lot to disk it will use more current. Modem sessions without adapter are also notorious. Lastly, it is possible that somehow you defeated the light sleep in the palmtop and it runs at full cycles all the time. The advice for the latter condition from one of the support people in HPHAND on Compuserve: Backup EVERYTHING, incl. hidden files on the C: drive (use attrib -s -h *.* in the C:\, in the C:\dat dirs before backup). Then do a cold boot Left-Shift, CTRL On. Reply with NO to reformat your C: drive. This _sometimes_ do the trick. Also you can use a program called timeout by Thomas Rundel. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 6 Feb 1998 00:33:59 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, sponsor@FTEL.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: "A.

Not exactly. We have a notion in the product of "User time". This is time accumulating when the user presses a key on the keyboard. If we detect a kepress, we accumulate that minute. If you read the screen for three minutes, user time does not advance. The demo will run for 30 hours of "user time", then disable itself. Reloading the demo TSR will not work.

Garzotto about three times and haven't gotten a response > he doesn't seem to care about supporting it or whether it works for > me or not. At the price he should have a 24 hour 800 line! Take care. 1. Emailing to him at his PRIVATE address is inappropriate. Use support@dasoft.com. I know you have, because I got a lot of email from you, much of of it is repetitive. You MUST be aware that it takes _some_ time to read messages, and that time is taken AWAY from replying to your message, and other people's messages. So much for bombarding EVERYONE in sight with email if you do not get INSTANTANEOUS response. Second point: The 24 hour 800 number is a ridiculous notion. Shier sold WWW/LX to you for $109. I am sure you MUST be aware that they have expenses, such as office staff, telephone, rent etc. You MUST be aware too (I hope) that they also BUY this from D&A - right? The software does not grow on trees! You MUST also be aware that D&A has expenses to deal with, right? We print manuals, diskettes, the time to prepare the packages, and on and on. By the time everyone counts their expenses (which you do not obviously!) the profit margin is tiny. I won't post it because it is really no one's business but D&A's, but it is VERY small. An 800 number would take us out of business in about 1-2 months! Then you'll have ZERO support, ZERO product, and you can kiss that 200LX baby goodbye and go spend hundreds of dollars on a WinCE or a Toshiba.. BTW, if I sound testy - you bet I am. I perceive my customers as an extended family, since they are interested in something I am, they want to preserve something that is also important to me (the 200LX palmtop platform). To pass a judgement on what is appropriate for us to do commercially without any information about it is at best ridiculous, and mostly irritating. I know Andreas and I have been EXTREMELY forthcoming with support and help. He has been bombarded by really dumb email aside from support. Most emails are sent repeatedly. We use our palmtops and it clogs our machines to the point of despair. Andreas no longer gives out his email address, and posts through someone else! I have sometimes as many as 40 emails per day in my private box - half of them are repeats! We are both reasonably bright fellows who can do other things for much more profit (Andreas, shut up! :-) ...) but we like the community of palmtoppers and these great pieces of engineering. Just for fun I calculated what the price level would have to be to provide 24 hours 800 support for WWW/LX. You thought you paid a high price. Well, to support you as you want would mean approximately $500 per package. That does not even take into account that FEWER sales will be made at that price level. Sure, I'd consider a premium support arrangement: $60 per hour, 30 minutes minimum - but that is surely not going to be acceptable to you either. Now, I know the maxim "Never argue with the customer." I violated this in public, too. But I tell ya, I just can't imagine where you think we live, or what prodigious profits we make - sheesh! I'll be glad to continue supporting you and any other customer of D&A Software, Inc. as we have always done.

No problems. Admittedly, I can't invoke it in a batch mode from the command line, but it serves my purposes quite well. Please note that I'm using FILER to transfer files, NOT Laplink. But this is how I've always transferred files since I bought my first 95LX over four years ago, so I'm used to it by now. You can just start APP200 from a DOS box. If you create an icon to run it automatically, you have to use NT's FORCEDOS command.

(grin) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii My findings have been that with Windows NT, the only option is to use Transfile (link found on the SUPER home page.) W32filer, Laplink for DOS (the version on the HP200LX), Zip (file transfer program), and other DOS level programs that I have tried all have not worked... I believe Windows NT pretty much secludes the hardware in its environment, and DOS apps are not able to bypass this. This has been my experience, anyway... if anyone has had differing results, please share. I would like to see a Windows Laplink that works with the DOS laplink on the HP... I loved it when my Windows for Workgroups 3.11 machine had laplink for DOS running, and I could see my HP's drives in file manager. SO easy to transfer files back and forth. Transfile is OK, but sometimes it times out when transfering files, and the CPU usage is 100% during the live connection. You also cannot do drag-and-drop from/to outside of the programs window (ie. drag from the desktop to the HP's drive.) Transfile has been the best solution so far, though, in my opinion. My best solution, though, would be to have, for instance, drive F:, G:, and H: on my Windows NT machine to map directly to drives A:, B:, and C: on my HP. ---David Cyrus <DCyrus@LINKNET.NET> wrote: > > >The LapLink that comes with the 200LX connectivity pack works in Win95; > >it might work in a DOS box under NT (but then again, perhaps not if NT > >"protects" you from yourself)...

WRONG!! It's rotating media, 5.0 volt, and will kill the battery life of a 200LX. It's also much slower than flash memory. Cartridges are projected to be maximum of 40MB.

While this is a bit above the 'generic' NiCD AA, you use TWO NiCd AA's giving a total of about 1400mAh...

At work, we have to perform serial I/O frequently to a variety of items under development. In the past, we had programs that would access the port from a DOS computer. We could use such stand-bys as Procomm Plus as a terminal emulator for simple commands and manual testing. Also we would write short C programs that interact with the BIOS to control the serial port, hence allowing automated tests and data collection. Then along comes NT... To our surpise, most of the programs we have tried on NT works, after a fashion (even PCPLUS). The problem is the speed. NT emulates the old DOS-BIOS serial port functions, and apparently does so in a very in-efficient manner (speed-wise). Unless the ZIP program manipulates the port in an unusual or non-standard way, I would think it would work, albeit perhaps at a slow data rate. I don't know how robust ZIP would be, either, in the face of sudden pauses in it's execution, as NT is prone to do from time to time. Now I'm curious, and I'll have to download the latest version of ZIP and try it for myself on my NT computer at work. BTW, those using Windows 95 computers don't suffer this same speed problem as do NT users. Apparently, the DOS interfaces under 95 are much quicker. I don't know how 95 compares with plain DOS, however. -Chris Lott *********************************************************************** R.

So if you are interested, send me your email address (compuserve or internet) and you'll be mailed the first couple of newsletters which I ha= ve drafted over the last week. The initial newsletters are an experiment to see where it should go so if you have any feedback (positive or negative)= or contributions (short or long) , send it along. Soon my brainstorming o= f topics will expire! My internet address is: gary.oliver@ooo.com.au where the ooo is o for orange The internet address is preferable to my compuserve address. Similarly if= you have an internet address, I'd prefer that (or your compuserve account= from the internet point of view) because the newsletter will be mailed fr= om my internet address above. (I don't have a web site, it is only an email address) In case I need to say it again - you are welcome to subscribe - you are encouraged to contribute: tips, anecdotes, trivia or anything to do with Agenda.

This is useful especially for those of use who want to use programs such as PKZIP to backup our palmtops. I would like to apologise to all those who wrote asking for an explanation, that I haven't answered until now, the reason being that just yesterday I got my hands on an English version of Windows 95 and can only now explain exactly what the correct settings are. So here goes... I am going to assume that you already have Laplink remote access installed in your desktop in a directory which I will call C:\HP200. I also assume that when not in the Windows 95 GUI (ie under DOS) that you have it set up and working, and the name of the batch file that starts up Laplink is LLRA.BAT. If you need more information on how to do this just look up the SUPER site under "Hacking with Jorgen". 1. Using Notepad or a suitable text editor, create a batch file, which we will call LLRAWIN.BAT containing the following line: command /k llra.bat 2. Save the file in your laplink directory (C:\HP200) 3. Using Windows Explorer or "My computer" go into the Laplink directory and highlight the new file LLRAWIN.BAT. Click on the right button of your mouse and select the item "Create A Shortcut" from the pop up menu. 4. Now highlight the created shortcut, and once again click on the right button and this time select "Properties" from the menu. Under the "Program" Tab click on the "Advanced" Button. In the "Advanced" window make sure that the item "Prevent MS-DOS-based programs from detecting Windows" and "Suggest MS-DOS mode as necessary" are both clicked (I'm pretty sure that the second one is not vital). Click on the "OK" button. Click on the "Screen" Tab and make sure that Window is selected. I also have it set for an initial size of 50 lines. I have all the other items in this window also checked. In the "Misc" tab I have selected "Warn if still active". Click on OK to close the dialog box. I have then dragged the shortcut onto my desktop to keep it handy. Having sone all this, how does it work? I connect my palmtop to the desktop with the cable, start up laplink on the palmtop and then double click on the shortcut to start it up. After a couple of seconds I hear the toodle tone from both computers and I am connected. Inside the DOS box I can use the command line, or Norton commander ar any DOS program to access my palmtop. I can also run a batch file to back up my palmtop using PKZIP or any of its cousins as the palmtop appears inside this window as drives G: H: etc (in my case). When I have finished, I type "exit" inside the DOS BOX. I then get a message inside the box saying that my TSR is now ready to run and that I should press CTRL C to exit it. Typing CTRL C will then close the DOS box. I have used this method a couple of times now and it has not failed me (yet). Good Luck to all who try. ====================== David Becher davidb@netmedia.net.il ====================== -------------------------------------------- ***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, 7 Feb 1998 13:06:14 EST Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Brian A McIlvaine <bamcilvaine@JUNO.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Brian A McIlvaine <bamcilvaine@JUNO.COM> Subject: RS NiMH Batteries Follow on to my prior report on the RS NiMH batteries: I recently got a corrupted PDB file on my PCIMIA drive with the NiMH batteries. The only other time I had this happen was when I used rechargeable alkalines briefly in my HPLX. Based on this, I decided to go back to my 850 maH NiCads. I will run the battery depletion test on the NiMH's as well to see if their characteristic has changed over the last several weeks. I think that I will stay away from NiMH's and go for some hi capacity NiCads. All is not lost - I can still use the NiMH's in my walkman.

However, because the file is 1.7 Mb, I cannot send it by mail. Also I am not sure if I would violate the (GNU-licenced) copyright restrictions of the original list. So I will point you to the links. Download WOORDEN.MED from ftp://ftp.tue.nl/pub/tex/GB95/spell-nl-v5b/woorden/ That is an extended 'Groene Boekje' words list (with plurals etc) The home page of WORDS-L voor vrije woordenlijsten is: http://home.pi.net/~fg/words.htm BTW Het Groene Boekje is the most official words list of the Dutch language. This list contains the latest ('pannenkoek') spelling. Colleagues have tested this words list against WP and WORD spell checkers on the Nationaal Dictee, and concluded this was the best. Read the PEspell manual on how to include the words list. Just enter the commands, it is really simple.

It does not seem to work. The WIDTH setting under SmartClip is separate from the WIDTH setting for a Columnar report. The setting of one WIDTH parameter has nothing at all to do with the appearance of the other. Remember that Smart Clip operates on a CUT & PASTE process. You design what you want the Smart Clip to CUT, which puts that information in the Clipboard for future a future PASTE command. Under Smart Clip, the WIDTH setting allows you to allocate a specific width for a particular field which will be maintained when you PASTE the contents of the Smart Clip somewhere (ie. MEMO, APPT, etc.) The Columns setting (accessed by pressing F8 from the main Database screen) allows you to specify how the initial screen view will look of your database (assuming you don't have the DataCard set on). From here, you can ADD, DELETE, MOVE and adjust the WIDTH of each column of data (each column being a different field). Hope I helped you clear that up! Any further questions?

You can access the searchable index at http://www.promo.net/pg/query.cgi You can read and search the files with Vertical Reader (from http://www.palmtop.net/super.html I believe). The Palm Pilot versions are formatted for that machine - the ones for Vertical Reader are 'as is' from the PG database, which are ASCII files.

Issues are ones of speed and memory. Certain applications, like neural nets require as much memory as you can throw at them, so you won't be able to put large setups. Speed is another problem, because it takes sometimes a lot of crunching, but that depends on what you do. > This last weekend, I was asked if I had ever messed around with AI > (artificial intelligence) software.

I know of a solution to your net-less state (sorry about the AI pun...), WWW/LX. See PTP articles, and ads, as well as http://www.dasoft.com (yes, I know you don't have browsers on the palmtop), or call Shier Systems 1888 371 9391. It is a commercial product produced by D&A Software, Inc, and I am its president/ceo - so there, full disclosure :-) To be totally honest, there is another product which I respect ("the worthy competitor") called NetTamer.

Added the maxlines directive to allow header-only downloads as well as limiting downloads based on the number of lines. Moved PNR version 2 into a separate complete package. Added the LXFTP client. The first goal of LXPPP is that it should be possible to connect to your ISP via PPP and do all sorts of "networking things" (including POP,SMTP,FTP,NNTP,HTTP and other nifty acronyms) on your HP200LX palmtop without having to terminate 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). To use the HP200LX PPP Development Kit, 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 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 please contact the author of the dosppp package, or your ISP. If you have no luck with them, then post your problem to the HP/LX mailing and someone will probably help you out. 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: <http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/8287/> -------------------------------------------- ***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, 10 Feb 1998 20:33:43 +1030 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Rod Whitby <rwhitby@ASC.SPS.MOT.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Rod Whitby <rwhitby@ASC.SPS.MOT.COM> Subject: PNR 2.1: Palmtop News Reader (now with LXPPP support) Version 2.1 of the Palmtop News Reader (PNR) is now available as a companion package to the HP200LX PPP Development Kit (LXPPP) and can be downloaded from: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/8287/download.html See my previous message on LXPPP for more details.

It shows that they do want to support and take care of their customers. I wrote Marcan Dist the following. About 3 weeks ago I ordered a memory upgrade from NSW. I installed it in my 200lx 2 meg with no problem and was pleased with the ease of installation. About 2 days after the installation I noticed that my NiCad batteries were low so I recharged them. The next day in the evening turned on the LX and there was a line running thru the screen and it went into a hard reboot. When it had finished rebooting I noticed that the batteries were low again so I put in my set of backup bateries. Over the weekend I turned on the machine and those bateries were low and so was the backup battery. I decided to remove the memory upgrade and now the battery life is like it was before the upgrade. I reinstalled the upgrade this week with the same results. Is this normal or is there a problem with the installation or memory module? Thanks for the info Mike Irwin They wrote me back Mike, There is a problem with the module. The last batch of 50 modules received by NSW had a defect. Actually, the assembly house admitted to having the "ovens" on at nearly twice the required temperature. Basically, they fried all the chips during the assembly process. I have spoken with NSW and they requested that you send the module back immediately and they will replace it with a new one. They talked to NSW a second time and had them send the module the same day. I now have a working memory module with normal battery life.

I just created appointments directly. The appts.ini file is not an appointment. This file simply refers to the Daily Greeting feature that pops up in the Appointment application. You might have noticed that everyday, at a specific time, a Daily Greeting pops up telling you the To Dos and Appointments you have for the day. At the bottom of this screen, is an area that can hold any information you would like. The HP comes with an Appts.ini file which lists Hints and Tricks of the HP. Assuming you keep the same file structure, you can change these items to be anything you like. For instance, I have an appt.ini file which is filled with Daily Affirmation from Deepak Chopra. Someone else responded to you with the proper file structure for an appts.ini. Give it a try, and let us know what you come up with.

X-Mind Beta Version 1.0.04, March, 1995 Written by Oleg Dulin CIS ID# 71743,312 This is a forward/back-propagation expert system which is supposed to learn from the answers you give it and store this info in *.MND files. It is clumsy and limited in its ability to adapt to real-time applications without a lot of time and thought. (I have no time to think!) 2. PXG - The Pascal Expert Generator Version 1.1, October 6, 1985 Written by Samuel H. Smith (address unknown-from CIS I think) This is a nifty little program that works great on the HP. From the .DOC file, "You teach the expert by repeatedly "learning" new facts in the interactive learn mode. When you have your rules working properly, PXG will generate a stand-alone expert program in Turbo Pascal". You can then compile the program if you wish. I don't have a Tpascal compiler, so I haven't tried it. This is menu driven, easy to use, and comes with decent docs and example files. I would love to trade a Tpascal compiler for a copy of it, but since this is PD, I will be happy to send anyone a copy of the PXG.ARC file. 3. ES Expert System, Version 1.0, October 1990 Written by Eric Summers, 127 Hopeland Lane, Sterling, VA 22170 This is a Knowledge base development system which uses Fuzzy Logic along with back and forward propagation. Docs are excellent, thorough, and give basic information to the novice. Will run on the HP, but requires SYSMANGER shut down. Also comes with sample knowledge bases (*.KB files). 4. Fuzzy File Find (c) 1991-1995, PMSI, Paris, France Not sure where I got this one. Not so small (32,060) but is a great little (fast) tool for finding files on your HP. Uses fuzzy logic rules to search for files. Don't know much more than that. Well, that's about all I can think of right now (at least that is all that I have loaded and use today). I've tried a lot of other stuff, but it is too technical and useless to the typical Palmtop user. And since just about everything is too technical to me, I'd rather not get too deep lest I sound like a fool.

It expanded the availability of the sum of human knowledge, and contributed greatly to the sharing of ideas, and the protection of knowledge (more copies makes a document less likely to be lost.) The edition of the bible produced on those first presses became known as the Gutenberg Bible, and its production was one of the most important religious events in history. Until then, your average person, or even your average scholar, could never dream of actually OWNING a copy of the Bible. Suddenly, nearly anyone who could read could learn from the Bible directly. This unfiltered individual interpretation of scripture led in a very significant way to the fragmentation of the Roman Catholic Church, the rise of other churches, and the separation of church and state in most Western countries. So, anyway, you are both right, it is the press process and the Bible. On Mon, 9 Feb 1998, Claud G. Cameron wrote: > You're looking for Project Gutenberg (after the Bible).

Here's my results: 200lx (Stacker version 3.0, 8 MB and double speed upgrade) 20 MB HP flash card 50 sec (average) for 1 mg read/write 128 MB Pretec flash card 41 sec 100lx (Stacker version 3.0, 2 MB) 20 MB HP flash card 87 sec average 128 MB Pretec flash card 79 sec average The 128 MB Pretec flash card worked faster in both machines. Since my 200 LX is fully upgraded the results on that machine are faster. The 128 MB Pretec card is about 9 seconds faster on either machine. I know some negative comments have been posted about Pretec's card. Right now, for me, their card is working better. Their card reader (internal) is also supposed to run with Windows 95, my current one requires some work to have that happen. It also doesn't read their card. Jean F.

I can't find my HP flash card manual. Can anyone tell me how to get stacker on to my new 200LX? I ran sinstall.exe which copied the Stacker <dir> to the C drive. The new machine does not recognize the stacked files on the card. The following are the only files that show on the E drive: readme.stc, sinstall.exe, stacker.drv, stacker.exe, and stackpalm.exe.

If you look in your setup program you will find a place where that is configured. Basically the system watches for a serial port interrupt, when one occurs the system wakes up to process the incoming characters. The act of plugging in the cable from the 200 is causing noise that is interpreted by the serial port hardware as valid input so the system wakes up. The idea behind this is that you can have your system automatically suspend and it will still be able to answer incoming calls from a modem connected to the serial port. This same mechanism also wakes up the system if you move your serial mouse, if you have a bus or ps/2 mouse then it is handled in a similar but slightly different way. Pete Peter W.

(I need to power things like my pcmcia type III adapter for hard drives, floppy drive, etc. etc.) I bought a CHEAP 1000 MA "made in China" transformer that did all of the above, but input was not automatic. Sure enough, I forgot to switch to 220 volts and plugged it in in France. POP! Of course I knew better. I had to plug in the electrical adapter to connect it. The other trouble was the lack of regulation and very unclean power. Has anyone run across my ideal power adapter? If so, I would certainly appreciate being pointed to it.

I use the EXP ThinFAX 1414LXM modem. It's specifically made for HP100lx and 200lx computers. It is available with up to 8 mB flash ram (I have 4.) Some small amount of ram is configured as an a: drive. The rest comes up as a higher letter (g: in my case). This can be used for large downloads since most of your "disk space" has been removed to install the modem. The EXP modem seems to work very well. It did take several tries to get both a modem card and a cable that worked, but their service was helpful. Donald Collins wrote: > I'm looking for a PC Card Modem for my HP200LX.

Neil, i still follow it and on my lx as well but only grab msgs two or three times a month.

I'm not looking to surf the net, just download email. I use 2 Megahertz modems on a regular basis without a significant hit on the batteries (tho I know 'significant' is relative). Anything over 14.4k is usually suspect, so this includes most 28.8k+ modems (tho there are exceptions, such as the Simple Tech 33.6 Communicator reviewed by another poster). Even 14.4k modems have a wide power variation, and my first 14.4k was an ATT modem that just ate my batteries in a few minutes. With either of the Megahertz however, I can typically download email/newgroups for at least 15 min and not see much of a drop in the voltage of my NiMH/NiCads. Could be that the problem you had is related to the model (which one did you have?) or maybe a defective modem. I use the XJ1144 and the XJ3144, the latter is the cellular version (tho I don't ever use it in my cell phone). Someone posted on this list several days ago about selling $25 14.4 Megahertz modems. You may want to search the list archives...but I don't recall that he/she mentioned the model number of the modem. I seem to recall someone mentioning problems with XJ2144 (a long time ago). - 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, 11 Feb 1998 06:20:34 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, sponsor@FTEL.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: "A.

I use a 2400 Megahertz and sips a mere 35mAh - easily within my batteries' ability to provide. But it is slow. When I use a 14.4 the consumptions are generally in the 120-150mAh and more. Batteries usually can take one or two brief sessions if they are fresh! By brief I mean less than a minute. Highly recommended to use adapter. Faster modems which exceed 150mAh cannot even function in the palmtop which supplies only 150mAh to the PCMCIA chassis. Avi M.

The lowest power modem that I've found so far is the Megahertz 14.4 XJ2144 modem. I can stay connected for about 45 minutes with a fresh set of alkalines. I'd be interested in reports of battery life with other modems. You can find the XJ2144 modem used for about, say, $30. It also has one of those nice X-Jack (tm) connectors that pops out instead of the mess of attached cords. (Just don't forget to take a phone cable with you in case you can't detach the phone cable from the phone in your hotel; I've been in that spot).

It stays there until either it times out or I hit CTRL to break off. This might be caused by the content of either the msg or header. Once it happened on a busy morning on a couple of listservs - DL'd 42 messages before freezing. Read the mail, then went back to pick up= the rest. Guess what?? - I get the same 42 msgs then FREEZE... aargh 8-( Anyhow after the 4th try (As Yogi Berra said "Deja vu all over again"),= I telnetted into my ISP, found it has PINE available - found 60 msgs - read 'em & deleted 'em. The fact that the prog hangs on the same msg each time suggests that the problem was caused by something in the mail. I think the msgs involved have included HTML, but this shouldn't be a problem...

It happens to me about once or twice a month. I usually use NetTamer to download the POP Queue, or use another POP client on my Lap/Desktop to erase one or more of the messages, then POST/LX seems to work OK. Also if I wait a bit for another message to stack up on the queue, it seems to work. Other than that, I haven't been able to determine under what circumstances it occurrs. It happens so infrequently, that it hard to troubleshoot.

Pine is a text based email reader that's often used on Unix machines. He used a vt100 session (ie Datacomm) and dialed in to his ISP, dropped into the Unix prompt and started pine. I use Pine also at work on a network. The disadvantage of using it for phone email is that you tie up the phone line the whole time you're reading and answering your mail (vs offline readers like Post/LX and NetTamer). Most ISPs don't allow you to get into the Unix prompt (ie, a "shell" account), so that's not an option for many of us 8{ - 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, 11 Feb 1998 16:37:50 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, David Spoelstra <davids@MEDIAMACHINE.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: David Spoelstra <davids@MEDIAMACHINE.COM> Subject: Re: Mail DL freezes...

Definitely a typo. 10¬14 is the right spec.

I recently changed my ISP and the new guy, small company run by a young uni grad are not being very helpful getting the LX to work. He tells me a standard PAP script should work? I have a very early copy of WWWlx and I have tried the Generic CHAP/PAP script. No joy. The settings on win95 are 1) enable software compression, 2) TCP/IP server assigned IP address, server assigned name and address, use IP header compression, use default gateway on remote network. I'm no computer programmer but am confident that I could piece together a script given the appropriate instructions. I am also going to try Nettamer. I mainly want to use the HP for E-mail, and it appears that I would have to purchase the whole program over in order to get the E-mail client. I have Emailed and faxed the company listed on my original wwwlx disk to ask the questions above but as yet received no reply. Any help / advise on the correct commands for either www or Nettamer would be greatly appreciated.

I use a 2400 Megahertz and sips a mere 35mAh - easily within my batteries' ability to provide. But it is slow. When I use a 14.4 the consumptions are generally in the 120-150mAh and more. Batteries usually can take one or two brief sessions if they are fresh! By brief I mean less than a minute. Highly recommended to use adapter. Faster modems which exceed 150mAh cannot even function in the palmtop which supplies only 150mAh to the PCMCIA chassis. Avi M.

Alas they are developing it for Win95, WinNT and WinCE - not DOS. But perhaps that is just the challenge someone needs ? It's cheap compared to a PC card (UKL 122), but that's quite a lot for a floppy disk of software and a custom cable for your phone (9-pin D at the other end). http://www.tdkgreycell.com/softmob/index.htm Is where the information is.

I bought the Card here in Berlin, Germany. The price was DM 359 including one of the GSM activation kit (there are different onces for different mobile phones. In between the price dropped a little bit. It is now 348 DM (both prices include 15 % VAT). See http://www.novamedia.de/001it08e.htm (WEB page of the company I bought it from). You can use the card without an AC adapter. I did this with NiMH as well As NiCd batteries inside the LX (200LX, 8 MB RAM, Double Speed). It even works on regular Alkaline type batteries. But I never checked how long. With NiCd's in good condition it works at least for around 10 minutes. May be much longer but as mentioned I never checked this. By the way, if the modem is plugged in it always makes some noise. Don't know the reason why. At least this is different to my regular PCMCIA modem. But this doesn't seem to have any meaning. The modem works reliable all the time; no problems. Herbert --------------------------------------------------------:-) Herbert Almus Technical University Berlin Deputy Head PVZ (FSP-PV) Sekr.

This is More/Setup/F6(Comm)/ and the "Enable Com1 Port in DOS" should be unchecked. Some people turn off Com1 power using other utilities and SysMgr may just turn it back on again if this isn't checked. Sorry if I've stated the obvious...I don't know what else could be the cause....when all my DOS programs terminate, the com1 port stays powered off.

All data for the pilot is stored in a database format for easy synchronization. Unfortunately, there are limitations on the size of the individual database chunks. What that means is even in the memo writing functions you are limited to a maximum of 2K or 4K (I can't remember which) which seemed to rule out there ever being big e-texts on the Pilot. Remember the Pilot was only seen as a PIM adjunct rather than a Palmtop computer (which it has become). How that changed was the development of two separate programs. One was a program called MAKEDOC that converted and compressed the text file into a database file . The second was a program called DOC which allowed you to read the database file on your Pilot. These programs became popular because they were free and the first on the market. However, they have now been bought by Aportis software who has started charging for DOC (with the AportisDOC program) and will soon be charging for MAKEDOC (which will be called Aportis DOC Professional). However MAKEDOC is still available unsupported from Aportis at: http://www.aportis.com/resources/makedocutilities.html Why do I bring this up? Well, MAKEDOC not only converts a text file to DOC it can also convert a DOC file back to TXT (a feature seldom used by Pilot users but is useful for us). I would suggest that someone download these programs and then upload them Super while we can. === Dave Hart (hartd@poboxes.com) Beavercreek (Dayton), OH USA Join the effort to bring Catholic Radio to the Miami Valley Miami Valley Catholic Radio <http://radiolink.net/mvcr> Previous message: Date: Mon, 9 Feb 1998 11:06:34 -0800 From: Bradley Johnson <BJohnson@PLATSOFT.COM> Subject: E-text files MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain A friend of mine just recently purchased a (gonna take a chance) PalmPilot.

The only time I turn on the power is when I use interlnk, and I start that via an icon pointing to a batch file that runs "serctl /w" and "serctl /o" I've never had the occasion to need the serial otherwise (I use a card modem). I do use a little DOS program called 'volume' which like LXSTAT (and written by the same person, Rudi...bless his heart and smarts) shows the status of the volume and allows me to set it. The following happens: - Setup/System volume level set to 'off' - AppMgr/Dos/volume.com shows level '0' (like it should) - 'volume 3' to set to highest volume - exit dos, back to AppMgr, return to DOS, 'volume' still shows '3' - exit dos, go to System, volume shows 'off' (expected 'high') - back to AppMgr/DOS/ volume now shows '0' (reset by AppMgr?) It seems that AppMgr might be keeping a config type file on the settings and enforcing those settings when a change in state is detected. I was thinking along these lines when I responded to Jeff's problem with the Com port. - 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, 12 Feb 1998 09:39:17 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, "Tim S." <pacific@CASTLES.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: "Tim S." <pacific@CASTLES.COM> Subject: Re: QFAX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >I'm using version 1.08 without any problems.

When you turn on the Digest feature you start getting one big file that contains all the individual pieces that you normally receive as individual pieces of mail in one day. I can read the list must faster this way as I can just keep paging forward in one file rather than closing one mail item and opening another. The drawbacks include... 1. There is some delay getting the info because there is usually only 1 digest per day. (If the HPLX digest is over about 1400 lines then you get 2 files.) 2. It may be a bit more difficult to automatically reply to individual items as they are all part of one piece of mail. Try it, you may like it!

It seems that a few more = people are now prepared to stand up to these pirates, which is pleasing. --=20 Neil Tungate <http://www.skipper.nu> Team 200LX UK -------------------------------------------- ***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, 12 Feb 1998 21:10:25 -1 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Bas Pruijn <126479bp@STUDENT.EUR.NL> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Bas Pruijn <126479bp@STUDENT.EUR.NL> Subject: Re: Where to get OB6DSK.ZIP?

The strange thing is that when there is not much on the screen - less of the lines disappear (visible on the top black bar visible on most HP Apps) - it is almost as if there is insufficient power to the screen and those lines are the first to go.

Since I use Eudora too, I was disappointed at the answers. Basically there's no way to read your mailbox into ccMail or do anything else neat like that. The simplest answer was to save your emails out to a text file and read that in the editor of your choice. Well, last week while looking through the S.U.P.E.R. site, I found LXDR by Rick Kozak. LXDR is a custom reader for mailing list digests but will also read Eudora's mailbox files (*.mbx ). The program is only 27K and has a feature that allows you to save messages out to a text file. I put all the messages I want to read into my palmtop mailbox (palmtop.mbx) and copy that file to my LX. I fire up LXDR with the command "lxdr palmtop.mbx". By always using the same mailbox I can automate the copying and opening steps. Take a look. **************************************************************** Don Puscher dpuscher@qualcomm.com "The machine will be his weapon, his work bench and his lectern." -- Nicholas Negroponte **************************************************************** -------------------------------------------- ***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, 12 Feb 1998 14:56:36 -0800 Reply-To: David Sargeant <davidsa@accessnv.com> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: David Sargeant <istate@COYOTE.ACCESSNV.COM> Subject: Re: Reading Eudora Mail Comments: To: Don Puscher <dpuscher@QUALCOMM.COM> In-Reply-To: <3.0.32.19980212140105.0096b6c0@redcloud.qualcomm.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Are the files that LXDR reads just standard mailboxes that programs like Eudora, Netscape, Post/LX, etc. use?

These are messages I almost always filter out, as I sort my mail by subject fields here. (I'm not referring to your message as that IS what the subject is about, but many lstservs will put DIGEST in the subject field when they send the daily digest message out).

When calling from a hotel room, sometimes its difficult to predict the timing or responses necessary to dial. Is it possible to dial manually, and then get Data Comm to link up when I hear the computer tones on the other side? I know this is possible in Mini Fax. 2. Is it possible to store longer phone numbers (i.e., more characters) in Data Comm or use a prefix/suffix type of code that allows telephone credit card numbers to be input as a single character?

Post/LX doesn't seem to have any problem with the downloading. The stalling happens when the "Deleting message..." line pops up. It looks as if the host system (for whatever reason) isn't responding to the command to delete certain messages.= Why some msgs seem to confuse the server and refuse to delete in response to the Post/LX command beats me. I did try adding a LONG timeout to the .cfg file just in case the server was slow to react,= but even stretching things to 240 seconds made no difference...

This has happened with some mail from another listserv (I get that one on my FreeNet account). The msgs show up OK in the listserv archive.

I tried sending them from my UNIX FreeNet account to this one, but PINE aborts as soon as "Forward" is selected.

Cavendish. Note, however, that my HP 200LX being a French version, I had to make an adaptation, which consisted of copying a 50K files 20 times, instead of the 100K 123us.hlp file being copied ten times. The additional overhead resulting from this adaptation should be small anyway. HARDWARE: HP200LX, Double-speed, using Times2Tech spd31.sys driver (rel.1.5b): * C: 5MB drive, unstacked, 512B/cluster, ~500KB free Outside or inside SysMgr, on battery or AC Power, Clean boot or other drivers loaded: _ Read/write on c: ~ 7.2s average (dispersion ~0.5s) This increases to 8.5s when using the spd31.com speed driver program instead. _ Read from d:, write on c: ~ 7.7s average Hey, that's terribly slow for a c: drive on a double-speed machine! * EXP Thinfax 4MB Ram Drive UNSTACKED PORTION, 2k clusters, 109KB free, access using LXMDRV.SYS rel.1.5: (I heard Driver release 1.6 is more stable, but don't have it) Average time 20.43s (very stable) * EXP Thinfax, Stacked portion (10MB) using Stacker 4.0, 8kB/cluster, 1400kB free space: _ Under SystemManager Average time 100s (Deviation 1.5s) Add 18s when a key like the Ctrl key is held down _ Outside SystemManager Average time 98.5s (Deviation 0.5s) The results are the same on battery or on AC Oh, I never realized how slow Stacker was on this drive! * 40 MB Epson Flash Memory card (Sandisk OEM): 57kB free, 4kB/cluster UNSTACKED PORTION: Read from d:, write to a: _ Average 49.8s, very stable with no drivers loaded except double speed _ Average 50.1s (deviation 0.2s) with my usual drivers, particularly the Thinfax flash driver which might interfer Add 8s when Ctrl key is held down These results are independant of power source. * 40MB Epson Card, Stacker 4.0 portion, 100MB, 16kB/cluster, 250kB free (Yes, I did fill the 100MB... There are so many great DOS programs available out here!) _ Inside System Manager, on AC Power (battery charging enabled or not) or on battery: Read and Write on a: Average 73.5s (Deviation 1s) _ Outside of SysMgr: + On AC power, battery charging is enabled or not: Read and write on a: Average 73s (deviation 1s) Read from d:, Write on a: Average 63s (deviation 1.2s) + On battery: Read and write on a: Average 39.7s (deviation 0.5s) Read from d:, write to a: Average 27.3s (deviation 0.2s) So, my 100MB stacker drive might be faster than the Pretec 128MB card! Yet, this is really disturbing... CONCLUSIONS: 1/ Holding a key down has a negative performance impact, which probably still occurs when used to disable the special power saving feature of some suspicious cards (Pretec?) that are faster this way. 2/ Contrary to popular belief, some cards appear to be faster when NOT on AC power. System Manager normally has no impact, but has a big impact on my stacked Sandisk card, which also occurs outside SystemManager when the AC adapter is connected. I understand the HP runs a program when charging battery which might have an impact, but here it happens even when batteries are not charging, and only on my Sandisk card. 3/ From the specs., flash cards should be about as fast at reading as ROM or DRAM. However, this is obviously not the case with the EPSON card on my palmtop. This might be due either to slower access to the PCMCIA slot, or maybe to the fact that read and write cycles cannot occur simultaneously on the same flash chip. Even though writing to a flash is supposedly (from chip specs) about 100 times slower than reading, the impact from reading from ROM seems to be much higher on my Sandisk card! I gain 12s by reading from d: instead of a:, whether or not the performance impact for being on AC or under SysMgr occurs or not, which means reading on a: is unaffected by the slowdown from Point 2/. 4/ Comparing results from different flash card drives is difficult, because Flash need to be erased in big chunks before re-writing. Otherwise it would be hard to explain why Stacker seems to have such a big performance hit on the EXP, while the stacked portion on the Sandisk card can be faster than the unstacked one. Does anyone have similar results, particularly in regard to Stacker being faster on battery outside of SysMgr, with some cards? I ran the most surprising tests a good number of times to make sure...

Drag across it to highlight the words of the subject and then copy it with Ctrl-C; bring up the Find menu with Ctrl-F and paste the copyied subject into it with Ctrl-V; hit Enter and you are at the subject in the list; hit Ctrl-G for the next match which will be in the body of the digest; read it and hit Ctrl-G again to get the next, and on and on until you get the error message of "Not found.."; hit Ctrl-F and you are back in the list of suject where you started.

FWIW, I tried the test again on my 2x/6mb 200LX using just drive C to compare the effects of a 10x copy of 100k file vs 20x copy of 50k file. AC was used, and ran outside of SysMgr. Each test was averaged on 3 tries each. The result: 100k * 10 times => 3.61 secs 50k * 20 times => 4.52 secs So the differences in test methods does have a noticeable impact on the result. The batch file that was circulated used d:\_sys\c123us.hlp (size 102,381 bytes) and my 50k test used d:\bin\ccmade.exm (size 50,742 bytes). Total bytes used for 100k test = 1,023,810 bytes and for 50k test = 1,014,840 bytes, so the 50k test actually moved less data. I think the longer time for the 50k test is likely due to the overhead in processing the addtional file open/close operations. Even so, however, I agree that your times are somewhat slow for a 2x 200LX C drive...tho I'm at a loss to explain why. Can't answer your Stacker questions either cuz I don't use it (I'd rather do with less data than to have to wait on slower response). - 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, 14 Feb 1998 02:13:18 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Longden Loo <lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET> Subject: Re: pcmcia modem Date: Sat, 14 Feb 1998 07:13:24 +0000 Message-ID: <19980214071314.AAB29919@Ý12.64.7.89¨> On 1998-02-13 HPLX-L@UConnVM.UConn.Edu said to lloo@worldnet.att.net >I was led to believe that the a/c adaptor didnt help with pcmcia >cards, that the cards pulled power from your batteries even while >the a/c is attached.

I think I read somewhere that it drew 169ma of power, but it always gave me the "card battery low" message when I put it in and got VERY warm during AC or battery use.

I was in Rancho Santa Margarita today so this news is "straight from the horse's mouth", so to speak. Viking has decided to use 256Mbyte chips on ALL of its new cards and has delayed shipment of the 48Mb CF until mid-March. This is smart because we're starting to see a lot of Korean chips show up in the US as a result of their currency woes. Prices are falling rapidly and will probably be no more than 64Mbyte chips are today within 3 months. The delay will permit the controller to be modified to handle up to 256MB of addressable memory space. The card densities can then be increased exponentially to 256MB. Viking is releasing a 48 AND 64MB CF on 16Mar as well as 80 and 160MB PC Cards on the same date. These will be followed in Jul-Aug with a 128MB CF card. I have it on good authority that these are firm dates. SanDisk has already released a 48MB CF but it uses their "Double Density" technology. It is SLOOOOWWWW... The Viking (and probably Simple, since they use a Lexar controller, too) will be faster by 2.0-2.5 times in terms of read and write speeds, and sustained transfer rates will run up to 2.5 times faster (SanDisk= 500KB, Viking up to 1.5MB). For some representative comments on SanDisk speed, refer to the HP palmtop Usenet newsgroup. You probably want to know costs. CF48 will be $329; CF64 will run $379. Expect prices to drop quickly as production gets ramped up. I regret the further delay as I know many of you have expressed an interest in the CFs. However, I believe the final product will now be better and perform much more satisfactorily. If anyone has any questions, please contact me. -----Original Message----- From: Longden Loo <lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET> To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> Date: 13 February, 1998 23:17 Subject: Re: pcmcia modem >Date: Sat, 14 Feb 1998 07:13:24 +0000 >Message-ID: <19980214071314.AAB29919@Ý12.64.7.89¨> > >On 1998-02-13 HPLX-L@UConnVM.UConn.Edu said to lloo@worldnet.att.net > > >I was led to believe that the a/c adaptor didnt help with pcmcia > >cards, that the cards pulled power from your batteries even while > >the a/c is attached. > >This hasn't been my experience.

I think this issue came up before in the last list-group and someone was going to compile the info for the FAQ, but I think that ran out of steam. Useful would be not only the key200 utility (and its uses), but also the various keyboard tricks that mean something special at bootup time and the Fn-1/Fn-2 keys which emulate the PC keyboard's GrayMinus and GrayPlus keys. Some of the info is in the manual, but scattered and difficult to find when you need it. If someone already has a summary of all the keys/key-combos and keyboard utilities that mean something special to the LX, I'd appreciate a copy too. - 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, 14 Feb 1998 10:47:08 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Ian Melville <imelv@TSTT.NET.TT> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Ian Melville <imelv@TSTT.NET.TT> Subject: Iomega's upcoming clik!

There was mention on the list a week or two ago about the new storage solutions coming from iomega later this year. Since many of us may not be aware of it (i wasn't myself till very recently) i thought i'd share some info on it. It is simply an excerp from their website (www.iomega.com) chopped down for list and bandwidth purposes :-) Iomegazine - Products - clik! The clik! product family is a new suite of low-cost removable storage products from Iomega. clik! products bring unprecedented removable storage to portable digital devices, including digital cameras, hand-held computers, personal digital assistants and smart mobile phones. The product family includes: - clik! drives Portable, low-cost,mobile, external drives that will be designed to be used with virtually any digital portable or desktop = product. - clik! drives for OEMs miniature, low-power version of the drive will be available for manufacturers to build into portable digital products. - clik! disks Durable 40 megabyte (MB) removable and reusable disks that = are about half the size of a credit card and will have a suggested retail price of $9.95 (U.S.). - clik! accessories Ultra-lightweight accessories to allow customers to = use the clik! drive anywhere. Iomega's clik! drives and 40MB clik! disks will be designed to work with virtually any portable digital or desktop product, including digital cameras, hand-held computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), smart cellular phones, printers and desktop and notebook computers. Ideal for any product that will benefit from small, high capacity storage, the clik! product family also holds appeal for global positioning systems, electronic tracking systems and hand-held games. The clik! product family has already received broad support from industry leaders, including endorsements from Kodak, Hewlett-Packard's Home Imaging and Portable Computing Divisions, Microsoft, Hitachi, InFocus Systems, Motorola and Texas Instruments. Recognizing the need for low-cost, high capacity storage for portable digital products, many other industry suppliers have also issued announcements and/ or endorsements for the clik! product family. The clik! drive will be small enough to fit into a shirt pocket and will boast up to 1MB per second read/ write speeds. The clik! drive has an IDE/ATAPI interface and will offer a number of connectors, including serial and IrDA connections. The internal clik! drive for OEMs will be 6.5 millimeters high and have a credit card- size footprint. With a 3.3 volt "smart-power" design, the clik! drive will have a low power requirement; transferring 1megabyte of information using clik! uses approximately the same amount of power as lighting a single miniature holiday light for one second. The 40 MB, reusable clik! disks are about half the size of a credit card and are interchangeable between the mobile and internal clik! drives. The clik! drives and disks will be designed to withstand the inherent rigors that are associated with portable products and will be capable of withstanding 100G operating shock. There are no other products that match the capacity, portability and low price point of the clik! drives and disks. Prior to announcement of the clik! product family, storage for portable digital products has been limited to solid-state memory products. And though limited, flash memory has the only reasonable installed base at this point. However, at $20-$30 per MB, and $50-$100 minimum cost, flash memory is prohibitive as mass market removable storage for portable digital products. Flash memory will serve a purpose in future products, but where customers will benefit from greater than 4MB of storage, we expect those products to have both flash memory and clik! drive storage.

The only thing that comes to mind is that PINE will not display non-ASCII attachments. They do show up in the index screen as part of the file size though. If you try to read this sort of message you should get a line that shows what the attachments are. If you type "v" you will start up a viewer that will let you view non-standard text and will let you save binary files. I've never encountered any problem using binary files that have come as attachments via PINE. Of course I've often had to download them first!

One of the personal replies I got was from Art Borg, telling me he had a student version that would probably work. I told him that that was all I needed since it was for an introductory circuit design class, but I never heard anything else from him. When I read the sad news that he had passed away on Saturday, February 7, I thought that must explain why I hadn't heard from him. However, today I received a registered airmail letter from Taiwan, which had in it a letter with the same text as the e-mail we received from Art's wife Isabella last week, and the student version disks that Art had mentioned. What a nice surprise, not merely because of the program, but because it is a memorial to our friend, Art Borg. Even in this time of loss, there was still time to mail me what I had requested. Let us all do a good deed such as this for someone else today, and let that be how we remember our departed friend Art. -- Visit the 200LX site at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 14 Feb 1998 14:23:27 -0500 Reply-To: Ted Heise <theise@netins.net> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Peniel Romanelli <peniel@WEB2000.NET> Subject: Re: More email weirdness...

Tried "v" - PINE responds that the message doesn't contain any attachments. I've used PINE for over 2 years on my FreeNet account, and never had any trouble with attachmed binaries either. Received plenty of files that way. The messages that caused the problem were text - they were visible in the list archives. They were HTML-ized, but that shouldn't cause a problem. Plenty of HTML mail comes in every day. Also tried "e" - export to file. Produced an empty file. Tried "f" - forward mail (to this account). That caused PINE to immediately abort. Other people on the list also reported problems caused by the same msgs - some even had their POP servers temporarily shut down on receipt of one. When the author of the messages switched mail software, the problems stopped. Last week a couple of messages from another person did the same thing. Welcome to the internet Twilight Zone....

I'm using Norton Utilities 5.0, there is an utility called Diskreet, This is a GREAT utility! is has two different kind of encryption, the most secure is DES, i'm using DES, encryption of my files on the Flash card, you can protect entire disks, or single files. I'm protecting all quicken files, and some GDB files, with some VERY important information of the office, with this encryption. I keep the files on the flash card, and the DISKREET.EXE, is on the drive C: (only 150kb), the speed of encryption is ok, considering the chip of the 200 (mine is single speed). At the office, we have tested this method, on a Pentium II 266mhz, with 256 mb Ram, it took about 6 hours, with special programs, to "Crack" a 200kb file, protected with DES method. 128 bit encryption is most secure, but, i think that to encrypt a file on the 200 will take for ever ! A 200kb file with a 128 bit, is taking about 20 hours, to "Crack" it.

Sounds like you may have a problem with the LX's charging circuit. I use the HP AC adapter at home and a RadioShack adapter at work. The RS was mentioned in the FAQ (part #273-1652B, tho that may be a bit old...I think mine was 1652D or something). The RS adapter is only 500mA & $14. OTOH, I bought another RS adapter of the same kind and it started to act up on me after a few months...so I won't swear by them. I use the adapters with Megahertz XJ1144 and XJ3144 modems (14.4k) and formerly with an ATT modem. All worked fine with the adapter, at least to the extent that the batteries didn't appear to discharge while AC was active. Hard to say whether the exact problem is the modem, the LX or the adapter. I would doubt the modem tho, cuz the LX should be driving the modem from AC while it's plugged in...unless the AC isn't putting out enough juice. Do the batteries charge properly without the modem? - 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, 14 Feb 1998 21:13:52 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Longden Loo <lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET> Subject: Re: Memo Comments: cc: musi0009@TC.UMN.EDU Date: Sun, 15 Feb 1998 02:09:51 +0000 Message-ID: <19980215020941.AAB16244@Ý12.64.7.136¨> On 1998-02-14 HPLX-L@UConnVM.UConn.Edu said to lloo@worldnet.att.net >I was wondering if someone could help me with this.

Ford" <ksford@CYBERTOURS.COM> Subject: Help with EMM200.EXE and MAKEEMS.EXE Mime-Version: 1.0 (generated by tm-edit 7.100) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Hello All- I have a question regarding the expanded memory manager, emm200. I've downloaded version 2.00 and have been trying to install it on my HP 200LX palmtop PC, but cannot succeed because makeems fails. After a normal startup (emm200.exe is not installed in config.sys) of the palmtop, I open a DOS window and type: C:\> makeems 8 as described in the emm200e.doc file. This program runs ok, I think, but it's hard to tell. It starts off by echoing some unintelligible characters to the screen (Japanese characters?) followed by (y/n). I type "y" and hit <enter> key and there are more unintelligible characters echoed to the screen with C:\EMM200.DAT that are recognizable to me. When I chkdsk c:\emm200.dat however, I always get at least 2 non-contiguous blocks, and chkdsk complains about other errors. I have repeatedly fixed the problems with chkdsk /f and deleted emm200.dat (after attrib -r emm200.dat) and started with a fresh newly checked disk and tried again, but the result is always basically the same as above. I've tried answering "n" to the apparent question of (y/n) and that seems to simply stop the program from proceeding any farther for it does not create emm200.dat when I do this. I've also tried a startup without reading any startup files (config.sys or autoexec.bat) and tried deleting everything on the C:\ drive before trying makeems 8, but the result is always the same. I always get at least 2 non-contiguous blocks for emm200.dat. I've also tried makeems 4 and makeems 2, but these fail in very similar ways as did makeems 8. I will tell you about 2 hardware modifications of my palmtop that might be associated with this problem. I have the TechSpeed and the TechRAM upgrade from Thomas Rundel in Germany. Therefore, my 200LX clock operates at twice the normal frequency, and my C:\ drive has a total of 4MB of space rather than 2MB of space. Also, in case this helps, when I use an old version of NU.EXE (Norton Utilities) to examine the C: drive, I learn that: sector 0 is for the boot area sectors 1 - 35 are for the FAT sectors 36 - 39 are for the root directory and sectors 40 - 8895 are for data Also note that NU.EXE reports that there are 512 bytes per sector on my C: drive, 1 sector per cluster, 1 FAT, 64 root directory entries (possible), 35 sectors per FAT, 8856 clusters (Information from DOS), 8896 sectors (Information from the boot record), and that the offset to FAT is 1, the offset to directory is 36 (Information from DOS), and the offset to data is 40 (Information from DOS). Based on the above, and the fact (from emm200e.doc) that emm200.dat must start at the 16KB mark, and the fact (from emm200e.doc) that makeems must rewrite the FAT, it looks as though makeems cannot rewrite my FAT as it apparently should. Do I understand correctly that because emm200.dat must start at the 16KB mark, that it must start at sector 31? Since this falls within the FAT boundaries, it makes sense that makeems must rewrite my FAT, but I don't understand why it's failing. Any help that anyone can offer would be much appreciated!

I don't use emm200 myself (I use tremm from Times2Tech), but if emm200 and makeems needs a chunk of contiguous disk space, maybe you should run Norton's SpeedDisk program (since you have Norton Utilities) or Defrag from DOS 6.x (I think that'll work). Running chkdsk /f fixes FAT errors, but non-contiguous files are not considered an error. Your largest available chunk of contiguous space may not be big enough for makeems. Another alternative would be to copy all files off the C drive (ie to flash card if you had one), delete all files on C, and copy the files back...this seems like it should work, but I don't know for sure but you defintely have to be careful. - Longden Net-Tamer V 1.08 Palm Top - Registered -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 16 Feb 1998 06:14:31 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Quinton Jones Jr <qman@EARTHLINK.NET> Subject: Re: Help with EMM200.EXE and MAKEEMS.EXE MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Sun, 15 Feb 1998 21:36:56,Kevin S.

Ok, thanks for the info! My country regulations ? The supreme court of justice, last week said that the software Copying (commercial) is not infrigment ! Can you believe it ?!?! The only country that can use 128 bit, is USA, the encryption software available here (Argentina) is only 64, so i bought mine through a dealer in US. A i said before, 128 is pretty secure, but not IMPOSSIBLE to crack. The software companies that makes this software (128 bit) have been "permited" to sell this software only in US, one of the problems is that NSA "want" to brake the code in no more than a day. A more complex code is possible, but NSA, will have to ask for help to Mr. Bill... :) HP>Regards, HP>Laust HP>--- HP> /// Laust Brock-Nannestad - laustbn@diku.dk - HPLX+C64+SID /// HP>/// Jamais Vu - The Feeling You've Never Been Here /// Martin Marseb@giga.com.ar -------------------------------------------- ***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, 16 Feb 1998 07:49:48 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Suresh Nirody <SNIRODY@IUMC.IUPUI.EDU> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Suresh Nirody <SNIRODY@IUMC.IUPUI.EDU> Subject: Marathon motoring -Forwarded Date: Sun, 15 Feb 1998 17:41:52 -0500 From: Suresh Nirody <snirody@iumc.iupui.edu> To: hplx-l@uconnvm.edu Subject: Marathon motoring ** Proprietary ** Several months ago I got home and turned on the TV and caught the tail end of a report on MIT doing research during a marathon. The runners had swallowed a pill-sized transmitter that took temperature readings of the runners' cores, transmitted them to a receiver that fed them to a handheld. The handheld used a Motorola PM100D to send the data to a data center, and the whole thing could be followed on-line on the WWW. I asked in HPHAND on CI$ if anyone had seen the whole broadcast (to see if they had said which handheld had been used) but recd zero response. Well, an account can be found at http://ttt.www.media.mit.edu/pia/marathonman/ It doesn't really give much on the handheld, but if you follow the links you'll find that they used a HPx00lx for the Boston marathon in April 1997, but switched to a "..more robust Windows CE..." for the SF marathon :-( Suresh -------------------------------------------- ***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, 16 Feb 1998 14:06:49 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Dieter Schoppitsch <shop@CYBERTRON.AT> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Dieter Schoppitsch <shop@CYBERTRON.AT> Subject: PowerPoint and Screensaver on HPLX Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hi: Two tips that might be useful for some of you. 1 A way to amaze Psion-users: Make on your desktop with PowerPoint a slide-master with 640x200 pixels. Go into the presentation mode - copy a screenshot (600x800) to a painting program. Crop the picture to 640x200 and save it as .pcx. Copy such presentation-pictures into a directory on your hp. Than use lxpic to view this presentation. Looks like buildt in PowerPoint. All you than need is a video-out for your hp :) 2 To save the screen while recharging my batteries I call (out of a batch) disp.exe (with option o). Then I call getkey to wait for a key pressed. After charging I press a key - and this batch calls disp again (with any other option than o). 2k regards Dieter -------------------------------------------- ***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, 16 Feb 1998 08:28:43 -0500 Reply-To: Stefan Peichl <stefan.peichl@metronet.de> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Stefan Peichl <stefan.peichl@METRONET.DE> Subject: Poor Man's Super Securtity MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I'm no cryptologist and I don't now the state of the art, but some time ago I wrote a tiny utility called CRYPT.

Total charge of about 8hrs. On the last charge cycle, the pattern changed - it took almost 5hrs= to reach 2.79V, stalled there for 3hrs, hit 2.81 and stalled for 4hrs.= Total of about 12hrs. So far I have a little over 7 hrs of use on these cells. Not great, but things ARE improving. BTW - check out D&A's page http://www.dasoft.com they have some new stuff about ABC/LX.

Is there a manufacturer or date code on the batts that you are testing? Perhaps they are from an early batch or something...

First, vertical lines (pixels) are governed by 2 'rubber' strips of conductors at the top and bottom of the pcb which are then fitted to LCD and the horizontal lines (pixels) are by the cable ribbons attache d directly to the LCD. Vertical missing lines are caused by dust or bad contact with the rubber strips as mentioned. However, please note that the dust-free enviroment to disassemble the LCD is difficult to maintain (for me, at least). I had the unfortunate experience of havin g to do the LCD assy and dis-assy (wanted to install an el panel for backlight experiment; failed of course). Technically, you can fix it but it all depends on how brave you are (o r how stupid,in my case) and how well you can handle delicate components . If you want, visit David Sargeant's excellent web site for some pointe rs on how to disassemble the LCD. Cleaning the 2 rubber strips will get rid of missing vertical pixels. I have no solution to horizontal missing lines for they are attached to the lcd directly via a very fragile ribbon cable. Assuming you can do everything, also take note that if you don't align the pcb and the lcd properly, you'll get BLURRED characters making the entire screen unreadable. Consider carefully before attempting to 'fix' your LCD. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it.

I believe the author said last year that the emulator would be like a 10 mhz XT...a bit more than a normal 200LX, but less than a speed upgraded LX. The speed of an XT is 4.77mhz and a stock LX is something like 7.9mhz. Seems like a lot of WinCE users (and not a few 95/100/200LX users) are waiting with baited breath for this thing, but it's been already delayed from its expected release at the end of last year and it IS a one-man show. I wouldn't hope for too much on the first round when and if he ever gets there (but kudos to him if he does). - 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, 18 Feb 1998 15:22:35 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Laust Brock-Nannestad <di970225@DIKU.DK> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Laust Brock-Nannestad <di970225@DIKU.DK> Subject: Re: XT-CE ÝRE: FS: HP 360LX¨ In-Reply-To: <01bd3c73$c892c750$0000167a@bernie> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Wed, 18 Feb 1998, Bernard A.

I didn't; this is a guess based on the programmer's (and others) postings to comp.sys.palmtops. It is just a guess, but perhaps I didn't make this clear... But you're right, it will probably not be useable on the old CE models. > I had a 95/200 for several years and wasn't sure I'd like the 620, but I > have been extremely pleased and wouldn't dream of going back to a slow, > character-based monochrome machine. You'd be surprised how much faster the 620 would be if it didn't have to use the graphics mode... I don't think the CE platform is open enough for programmers. And besides, no TTY apps (text mode) tsk tsk tsk...

I've been a very happy 100/200LX user for the past four years, and appreciate all the fine details that HP put in making their palmtops. These are evident when I used winCE or Psion machines that do not have solver capability, conversion, keyboard shortcuts, and many other flexible features and mechanical reliability that make HPLX such great machines, at least 200LX lines. I have been following WinCE scene for a while, and I am still not convinced that the latest 620LX from HP have all those user-friendly (with scientifically oriented people in mind) features. Is it safe to assume that 620LX is everything that 200LX has, plus color display and faster speed? Or is it not much different from other CE machines like Casio and Philips? *************************** Joseph K.

If so, how does one take advantage of this offer - e.g., who do I call to order one? I did an archive search, and found reference to a maintenance kit, but from what I read, the contents of these kits appeared to change from time to time.

I meant it in the same spirit as when I moved from my OmniBook 300 to an OB600: I wanted a color OB, and was prepared to take the hit on the power consumed. I liked them both, and each supported MS Office apps that are a part of my and millions of others everyday lives. But... I like color and the familiarity of the GUI. Both work for me. If I were a programmer, and I'm not, I could see an argument for a character-based system. But from a USER's perspective, I think the 620 provides more functionality. BTW, let's not start a flame war over this. I am not trying to win any converts, and the 200LX is a fabulous machine. But understand, too, that some of the early reports about "slow WinCE units that don't perform or lack functionality" are growing real old, real fast. Especially with the dawn of the 620. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 18 Feb 1998 07:14:33 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Joe Barrera <joebar@MICROSOFT.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Joe Barrera <joebar@MICROSOFT.COM> Subject: Re: XT-CE ÝRE: FS: HP 360LX¨ >>You'd be surprised how much faster the 620 would be if it didn't have to >>use the graphics mode... > Perhaps, but the attractiveness of the 620 to me and other WinCE users IS > the Windows GUI and complete compatibility with our MS Office apps. This is a very old debate (it used to be MSFT v. Apple). No point reviving it. The only reason I posted more bits about XT-CE to this group is it might be a way for this community to survive the possible death of the 200LX platform. No, I have no immediate reason for believe that HP will continue the 200LX, but HP has killed products before despite such products having a very devoted following. The HP-41C, the HP-11C, and the HP-42S are examples from the calculator world. (On the other hand, they have kept the HP-12C alive.) Of course, I'd still rather have an upgraded HP-200LX, one that reflected the processor speed improvements over the past decade instead of burning them up emulating another processor... - Joe -------------------------------------------- ***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, 18 Feb 1998 10:57:44 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Bill Schell <bill@BELL-LABS.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Bill Schell <bill@BELL-LABS.COM> Subject: Re: HPLX-L Digest - 15 Feb 1998 to 16 Feb 1998 Comments: To: Laust Brock-Nannestad <di970225@DIKU.DK> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > From: Laust Brock-Nannestad <di970225@DIKU.DK> > Subject: Re: Super Security... > > It is availiable from utopia.hacktic.nl (via ftp). > > Regards, > > Laust > Thanks!

It's kinda, well... HUGE! I liked the color display, but it seemed that a large part (of an already small screen, considering that CE is a GUI) of the screen was consumed with borders, frames, headers, and other space-wasting stuff. I was also put-off by the row of contacts visible through the bottom of the case. A few times in the past I have discovered that the glass of water, sweating away, on the table where I was doing my report, had soaked the bottom of my HP200. Other than some water wicked into the slot for the battery cover, it never has caused any problems. I was kinda unhappy about the non-standard power source too. The price seems to be good, considering the backlight, color display, and HP logo. But... without MS DOS which I _require_ to support the activities I'm paid to perform, I'm afraid the HP620 is "just another" Windows CE general-market-for-the-common-masses product.

The 200LX is a fully functional unit with a very mature software base. Windows CE is not. The 620 is just a PIM with a color screen. I guess if all a person needs is a PIM CE is a good way to go- although spending 800 bucks for an electronic organizer sounds like a lot to me. Its funny how people say they want CE because of its Windows compatibility when the 200LX is completely compatable with Windows. If HP would get its act together and make the improvements to the 200LX which they've already made in the CE machines (backlighting, maybe add color) they'd have to top selling handheld on the market today. This move to CE reminds me of the music industries move to CDs. CDs didn't replace albums because people wanted them to or because they sounded better everyone just stopped= making albums and started making CDs. From market reports you'd think HP would know its stupid to stop developing the 200LX line- it sells and it sells because its the better machine.

It *only* runs the serial port when you enable it (CTRL+ALT+,). When you disable it (CTRL+ALT+.) it doesn't use any serial port power. I load it up in autoexec.bat and turn it on when I need it. When it's off, it doesn't affect my battery power at all.

Either Wordperfect 5.1 or Word for DOS 5.0 is a much better mate for Word for Windows thanPocket Word. Much more formatting (up to and including tables) can be preserved. Either Lotus or Quatropro 5.0 is a much better match for Excel than Pocket Excel. Quatropro 5.0 will even preserve multi-sheet note books.

I'm not sure that character-based capability makes a machine "character-based". Have a look at the System Manager sometime. Those icons aren't characters :) Of course, a character-based capability can make a machine much faster at those tasks that don't *require* graphics (as others have pointed out). When I write, I use just one monochrome pen; not a box of textas. Who would upgrade to colour newsprint? It's good for pictures, though. A big problem (for some) is that the computational power of the HP620 is paid for in weight, size and battery life. And a big frustration (for techno-idealists) is the inefficient harnessing of that power. Its CPU is about 10 times faster than the hp200lx's - but it's not 10 times faster to *use*.

The CD replaced the LP in the mass market for two reasons. Hi-Fi sales were flat, the CD revived tand proabably saved the industry. CDs are convient, little old ladies with shacky fingers can use them. There is no way a CD can approach the sound quality of an LP on a good Hi-Fi. With all due respect, the public needs color and GUIs because they think they need them. HP could have made the 200LX into a better machine than the WinCe yuk, but the profit potential favors the color GUIs.

For this, I apologize to the group and regret my lack of precision. I have used a 200LX for many years, and have found it to be a godsend many times, most recently while in Queensland last year for an exercise with the US Navy. There is no question but that it has the most comprehensive software selection on the market, and more importantly, one that seems to continually evolve. I agree with many of the points made in the respective postings since I started this thread and am prepared to concede many of them. I didn't "need" color or a GUI, but I wanted them. The 200LX was, is, and will no doubt remain - as long as HP supports it - equally as competent as a WinCE unit. I appreciate the many fine contributions made to this newsgroup and will confine my future remarks to its purpose.

I've known about Software Carousel for quite some time, but until now I've never believed that I needed it. I've since grown to find that I now really do need it. In particular I have a couple DOS apps that are used constantly. One of these will run under the system manager but it's a very tight fit. There is no room left to start any other built-in applications. I'm finding that I frequently want to refer to a data base, spreadsheet or memo while using the app. I'm forced to save my state and quit so I can get the info I want and then restart the app. This is tedious. It also sounds like a job for Software Carousel. I asked Shier Systems to sell me a copy and they said it is no longer available and "The company that 'makes' it has disappeared...". (They also suggest they're working on the problem so hopefully this is only temporary. I did not ask for any further details.) I know about maxdos. I vaguely recall some other list member saying that they preferred maxdos over carousel, but I don't remember if the problem being solved was relevent. Is it possible to get back to one instance of a system manager session to run any of it's built-in apps by some clever trick with maxdos without terminating the app I started with it? As far as I can tell from the docs, maxdos' only function is to swap out the system manager session for the lifetime of the dos app you start. - paul -------------------------------------------- ***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, 19 Feb 1998 17:45:05 +1100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Brendan Macmillan <bren@CS.MONASH.EDU.AU> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Brendan Macmillan <bren@CS.MONASH.EDU.AU> Subject: Re: Windows CE In-Reply-To: <3.0.5.16.19980218232246.2db7aa1a@mail.caspers.net> from "Ian Butler" at Feb 19, 98 00:46:49 am MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > ...

I read the other message you posted (the backpedalling... :)...) But FYI, most of the apps in palmtop are not character based, but graphical, albeit CGA. Almost everyting in System Manager is (may be not parts of Datacom and Lotus), as well as many DOS programs. PAL-based programs are specifically graphical. WWW/LX (HV, really) is graphical as it Post/LX. And our ABC, and TimeTracker/LX, and Magnify. So no, I am not upset, but I think you did not make the right statement.

The CE palmtops (at least the new ones) have lots of processing power, as does the Psion 5 and several others.

The HP200LX always uses graphics mode! It is not a character based mono display as long as you don't shell to DOS! If you see characters on the screen it does not mean, that the HP200LX is running in text mode. System manager software only uses graphics mode! But screen output is really fast. Why? Because we have additional BIOS support (INT10h) for writing text in graphics mode. Without this BIOS extension, the HP200LX would be significantly slower (almost unusable). Most software, written for the 200LX uses this BIOS extension (because PAL does :). What do we learn: The graphics argument may not be used to compare WinCE with the HP200LX, because they both use graphics output. If the HP200LX is faster in this respect, now you know why. You may always check the screen mode of a running program with my utility LXPRO. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 19 Feb 1998 06:02:34 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, "Longden C.

MaxDos only swaps out SysMgr for the life of the DOS app (or DOS session) you want to run. For example, you can't invoke MaxDos to run a DOS app and swap back to SysMgr to use the HP Calc, and then swap back to your DOS app. You must exit (ie, terminate) your DOS app in order to get back to SysMgr. That deficiency is Software Carousel's great strength. OTOH, SC takes up much more room in memory (as a TSR) and the question then becomes whether the biggest SC session can run your app. - 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, 19 Feb 1998 08:48:37 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Chris Lott <rclott@RO.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> Comments: Authenticated sender is <rclott@mail.ro.com> From: Chris Lott <rclott@RO.COM> Organization: Phase IV Systems, Inc.

Does the palmtop shut itself off if it's not used for 3 minutes? If it does, then Lite Sleep is on. Also, do you have a flash card? Some can add considerably to battery drain.= My single-speed 1meg 100LX gets about 8-10hrs on the 850mAH NiCads (using an older 12V flash card). The 2X speed upgrade probably decreases the battery life by 20-25%, so your results aren't too unreasonable. -PR ------------ Peniel Romanelli peniel@web2000.net d021785c@dc.seflin.org ******* HP100LX ---- Post/LX ---- WWW/LX ******* Miami, Florida -- Redefining the term "Political Asylum" -------------------------------------------- ***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, 19 Feb 1998 06:59:58 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, "Longden C.

Contact Shier Systems (http://www.shier.com), they make custom cables and specialize in palmtop stuff, including the 100/200LX. Maybe they have a generic short cable or plug adapter that plugs into the LX on one end and has a standard 9-pin serial connector on the other...that would seem pretty useful (don't know how much they charge tho). - 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, 19 Feb 1998 12:08:15 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Nedim <nedim@ATHENS.NET> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Nedim <nedim@ATHENS.NET> Subject: Re: Serial Port Plug In-Reply-To: <Pine.SUN.3.95.980219065616.26296D-100000@world.northgrum.c om> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I got one from Shier for $29.00 + S&H.

How would you compare these 1500mAh cells to other rechargeables in terms of endurance?

I need a program that will perform relational database work. there is none. I need a program to call and record credit card transactions, there is none. I need a program that will process my largish spreadsheets, Excell chokes. I need to keep track of several other databases, nothing decent available that matches what 200LX has. I need it to fit in my pocket, none of the WinCE machines do. I need to be able to load programs from DOS, for example, and WinCE cannot. My workstyle and requirements do NOT dictate that the main work is in the desktop, but instead, on the palmtop. This is a small sample of what is missing right now, this minute for me to jump to a 620LX and be able to take my workload with me from the 200LX. Besides it is too large and battery life sucks. Perhaps chip vs. chip the WinCE machines are more formidable, but all that power is not useful to me, and my workstyle and what I need to do. I emphasize the "I" again and again, because all this is not meant to light up another LX War! I like the WinCE machines in certain ways, but the 620 is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too large, and lives waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to shortly on the battery. It hasn't got all the programs available today, now, at this moment, that I need in order to do my business. In contrast, the 200LX has it all! I have used it as the machine I run primarily to manage 4 businesses for the past two years, not something I (my personal statement now!) could say today about the 620. So that is the point. Power ad speed of chip is useless if I do not have the programs and facilities to do what I am ALREADY DOING on the 200LX. If, and when, the WinCE catches up, it may turn out to be a nice platform for me personally. Right now, no. For others the content of the 620 arsenal of programs is sufficient. I understand and accept that wholeheartedly. But I, Avi Meshar, I need more than that. Avi M.

The device is called Leapfrog and it converts IR signals to fairly powerful RF so you can control IR devices from "extreme" distances and without "eye-to-eye" contact. There is a small converter that covers the IR eye on the remote. The converter is about 1cm x 1cm x 2cm. The receiver is a harddrive-sized box with a cable terminated in an IR eye that runs to the TV, stereo, etc.. With this device in place, he can use any function on the remote from any floor in his home or from outdoors. I'm wondering whether this would work with an HPx00lx and an IR printer. I could print from the HP from anywhere in my office (assuming RF noise is low) without a cable or without lining up the little eyes. If it would work, it might even be possible to connect with the colleague across the hall or to your desktop system from the conference room. The Oooh-Aaaah value could be quite high. Of course, I imagine handling short, simple signals from a TV remote is a different animal altogether from data handling. Still, if anyone has one of these devices or can spare the $100 or so to Best Buy and has an IR printer, I'd like to know how/if it works. I might be convinced to get an IR controller if it has promise.

It works while I stay in that area, but once I switch out, it hard-freezes the system (Shift-Ctrl-On gets me out). Anyone know a work around? Alternatively, anyone know how to unload CIC100?

Sounds like it's trying to load a database that's corrupted. Since the 200LX loads the last database you used when you exited the program, try renaming that database with filer. Then when you try to load, it will stop and report that it can't but then you can open another database. If that works, you might assume that the first database is corrupted. If so, try running the Garlic program(available from SUPER) to repair it. I definitely don't understand the last part of your question. Good luck.

There were a few of these devices as well as RF "repeaters" for television signals that turned out to be illegal to sell or use. I believe one of them was the "rabbit" remote. (if memory serves) If this is for remote signals, I would suspect it may be too bandwidth limited in any case. _______________________________________________ mark beutler mycroft_h@bigfoot.com ICQ 3851271 see you on the other side of the monoblock _______________________________________________ -------------------------------------------- ***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, 19 Feb 1998 15:13:19 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, jaevans@CODENET.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: John Evans - N0HJ <jaevans@CODENET.NET> Organization: Titan Software Systems Subject: Re: IR Power Boost Comments: To: Brian Jensen <bjensen@COLLTECH.COM> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Brian Jensen wrote: > > On Thu, 19 Feb 1998, Larry Zimmerman wrote: ........ >.

I am aware of this, but I usually use plain DOS and text-based apps, hence my comment. I guess the problem with the CE palmtops is that they do not have hardware support for fonts, at least not in the same way the LX does.

So my comment should be changed to: "You'd be surprised how much faster the 620 would be if it used a hardware accelerated graphics mode..." ;-) (I still think the argument is relevant, though, since the LX does provide a proper text-mode and since it is apparently very fast at providing text in graphics modes) Regards, Laust -- /// Laust Brock-Nannestad - laustbn@diku.dk - HPLX+C64+SID /// /// Jamais Vu - The Feeling You've Never Been Here /// -------------------------------------------- ***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, 20 Feb 1998 00:10:14 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Laust Brock-Nannestad <di970225@DIKU.DK> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Laust Brock-Nannestad <di970225@DIKU.DK> Subject: Re: Nettamer tagline In-Reply-To: <3.0.5.32.19980219142605.00799100@popd.ix.netcom.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Thu, 19 Feb 1998, Claud G.

Gee, I guess you do not have the manual... Try F2 and specify stall time of 0.00. (Bet you have that ill-fated beta copy that's full of bugs from the PTP CD!)

Oh, I see. I understood John's question the other way around, and suggested 0 stall time. Your way works well too, but I would ot advise it for the reasons you mentioned (frying, toasting and otherwise abusing your palmtop - but this is my own paraphrase!). In any case there is a limit to the amount of time you can put in, and there are two other "governonrs": Voltage and total charge time. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 19 Feb 1998 21:49:02 EST Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Class3Dep@AOL.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Class3Dep@AOL.COM Subject: Re: cables for parallel printing Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit In a message dated 98-02-19 19:00:23 EST, you write: << Perhaps there is some way to print to a parallel printer from a serial port but I've never heard of it. >> I have a Serial-Parallel converter I bought for my WinCE machine, before I traded it for a 200lx.

The older 5.0/12.0 volt cards consume more power during read/write cycles and in sleep mode. Newer cards such as those referenced above have an AutoSensing mode that will select the optimal voltage to be used. It is also helpful to review EACH mfrs specs for their respective cards. SanDisk uses its own proprietary controller; Viking uses a Lexar controller. Both are 3.3/5.0 volt Autosensing, but Viking uses much less (22-33mA) power than SanDisk (33-44mA) in read/write operations. Speed should not be confused with voltage, either. Again, refer to the mfr's specifications. The SanDisk cards are SLOOOWWW compared to the Viking cards; the latter have a transfer rate which is up to 60% faster than SanDisk, and a continuous transfer rate that is nearly double. For more information on Viking see www.vikingcomponents.com or www.lexr.com If you are interested in obtaining a Viking card, please let me know. -----Original Message----- From: allen solof <allensolof@BOONE.NET> To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> Date: 19 February, 1998 19:37 Subject: flash card voltage >is there an ideal voltage (i.e., 5v. ,6v, etc.) for a flash card, to be >used in the 200LX? > >what is the maximum voltage a card can have, to be used successfully >with the 200LX? > >thanks > >-------------------------------------------- >***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** >For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : >HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml > -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 20 Feb 1998 17:42:17 +1300 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, katana@CLEAR.NET.NZ Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: David Lawrence <katana@CLEAR.NET.NZ> Subject: Re: I can't get into the database Comments: cc: randys@TSMSER.COM On 1998-02-19 HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU said to katana@clear.net.nz >I am trying to get into my database program, but I get the hour >glass symbol forever and the database will not load up.

I think the reference is to Amiga users. The Amiga was a computer that came out around the time of the first IBM PC (or a little earlier?). It was much better than anything else. But perhaps because it was marketed more as a cool programmer's/game machine, rather than a business machine, it lost out to the PC - though this was perhaps inevitable. But you can imagine the loyal, fanatical following that it created, and their frustration when it lost out. There was also bankruptcy involved, and I remember a quote from the CEO of one of the companies that tried to save it, saying that the fanaticism of the Amiga users was no help at all.

Definitely not worth the $150 that EdSci charges for them...

On this subject, does anyone have a simple program (or is that an oxymoron?) that I can run during my nightly backups that would process a list of databases (and on my LX there are alot) and perhaps flag a 'todo' in the Appt app if it finds something wrong (OTOH, what if the Appt database is the one with the problem). A nice little report with a summary of how many records in each and the kinds of problems found might alert a user to bigger problems down the road.

Basically, if Garlic 'fixes' my 700 record phone database by throwing out a bad entry, I'd like to know entry caused the problem in case I have to manually reenter the data that went bad. If I had 2 databases, the original and the fixed, there isn't an EASY way to 'diff' them...and I shouldn't have to if the diagnostic program worked the way it'd make sense to work.

As another of those Amiganauts, I just want to clarify that the Amiga has not "closed out completely", but has been surviving all of these years in the underground, waiting for the right moment to return to the public eye. Aminet, the Amiga equivalent of SUPER, is the largest (and safest) shareware repository for any one computer. Check out www.cucug.org/amiga.html for more info on what's the latest thing for Amigas. Yes, Commodore did run the technology into the ground, but paid the ultimate price of bankruptcy. The Amiga curse has taken its wrath on a couple of other multinational corporations, but the orphaned technology is very much in demand. Gateway 2000 (the cow computers) has recently acquired the rights to Amiga International and the intellectual property. Sorry about my rant, which may have been inappropriate for this mailing list, but Amiga folks (like HP200lx folks) are rabid defenders of their favorite technologies. I have seen a number of names on this and other Amiga mailing lists, so I know that there are others of you out there.

I remember back on the old list, there was a lot of talk about using Dosshell as a cheap alternative to SC. Is anyone doing this? Also, I read somewhere that Dosshell was merely a cut down (and licensed) version of a tool included with PC Tools. Does anyone have additional info on this? > It makes like you have 10+ palmtops without the added weight <g>. Actually, all those extra running processes will result in the memory being filled with additional binary 1s and thus not only will the LX become heavier, it will also consume more power ;-) (*) > It sounds like good stuff, but there are probably some drawbacks as well. Such as a decreased amount of memory in each process you run. (*) Actually the idea that binary ones will make the LX heavier was stolen from a humorous article posted in comp.sys.hp48.

The holder of a copyright retains that copyright even if he chooses not to distribute further copies. Now (speaking for myself) I don't expect Microsoft to nail anyone for putting Windows 1.03 on a web site - it's busy enough just trying to stop pirating of products it still sells (or hasn't even released yet, like Windows 98 and NT 5!). However, any indication of excitement or glee over a product from a small company "becoming abandonware" really makes me feel uncomfortable.

Better with mem expanded LX. - $$ - Has API capabilities with lxbatch - witten specifically to work with the LX. I still use maxdos from within SC. It can be used within and SC work area. I was able to get SC used. I guess if it doesn't come back up for sale it may become abandonware....

I won second prize, the speed upgrade. When it came time to find out where T2T was to know where to ship my palmtop to, I found out that Mack is only about 2 miles away from me :) It was a very nice experience to meet Mack, his wife and their lovely (and trust me she is a cutie!!!) daughter. While I was there I went ahead and got Mack to do the RAM upgrade. I now have a speed doubled, 8MB 200LX with a pair of Mack's famous NiMH batteries. My 200LX seems to run as fast as, if not faster than the 50MHz 486 machine I use in my job, and at times it seems as fast as my Pentium machine at home. Having watched Mack upgrade my palmtop, I am convinced that there can't be anyone more suited for the job. He has the latest in surface mount soldering tools and the ultimate in testing technology, he's got a Fluke scope that I would kill to have :) I heavily encourage anyone interested in having their 200LX upgraded to let Mack handle the job for you, there's no way you can go wrong. Once again, thanks to those who allowed me to win my nifty prize!!!

I don't think so) If you want to see what Garlic says on a corrupt file, just copy a good file & intentionally hose it with a hex editor. Might help to have the LX programmer's guide for info on the format, but generally changing some unprintable chars toward the end should mess it up pretty well, I'd think. >If I had 2 databases, the original and the fixed, >there isn't an EASY way to 'diff' them...and I shouldn't have to if the >diagnostic program worked the way it'd make sense to work. Re: diffs: You could use GDBDUMP on both and diff that, but I suspect if Garlic doesn't like it, GDBDUMP won't either. Actually this gives me an idea... Here's your logic: * copy database * run Garlic on copy * if copy == original, make a "good" GDBDUMP listing * else you can use the fixed database, and compare the last good GDBDUMP listing with one from the Garlic'ed file, esp. noting any entries present in the good list that are missing from the new list...

It's single most significant problem is that it was NOT marketed. Commodore Business Machines essentially ignored their own product and made little or no effort to sell it. Early on, Microsoft Basic and WordPerfect were written for the Amiga, but because the company made no effor to support it, the important software houses either didn't write for it, or quickly stopped supporting it. Most interestingly, the "serious" PC users decried it as a "mere" games machine (which it never was, although games running in full color, relatively fast, on the Amiga in 1986 just blew away anything the PC or Mac was capable of), and now the users AND advertisers proudly crow about the fantastic games can be played on their peecee's. > But you can imagine the loyal, fanatical following that it created, and > their frustration when it lost out. There was also bankruptcy involved, Commodore went bankrupt; the company that bought it (ESCOM, of Germany), went bankrupt.

Well, I agree with you. I think abandonware is a good idea as long as it doesn't hurt the LX community and the companies that still support it. Distributing LX-specific software obviously does (and SC is). Besides, "normal" abandonware programs usually haven't been supported for years - the company that sold SC has just recently gone out of business and copies are still being sold (from the German distributor?)

I seem to remember (from back when I was using Novell DOS 7) that it required a lot of memory (a couple of megs at least). I never did like it, it always crashed my Word Perfect 5.1. BTW. They've changed the name (back) to Caldera DR DOS, in rememberance of the original program. Will TASKMGR work under MS-DOS?

(sigh) The WWW/LX timeout problem is probably caused by an incorrect login script. Try dialing into your ISP with DataCom or some other terminal program. Respond to the login prompts manually, and write down exactly what comes from the host machine. This will get you as far as PPP negotiations, then stop. If the script is OK, then maybe the ISP is temporarily down... I had that problem most of today 8-( WWW/LX also hangs after "sending password" in this case. Dunno about the system lockup with Post/LX.

The reason is simple. The 200lx is a 16 bit platform, but Linux and FreeBSD need a 32bit platform (i.e. 386sx or above).

It's the C Programmers Toolkit by MIX software, the same folks who sell the Power C compiler (also on my desktop/palmtop). It doesn't replace command.com (I've often wondered why not - and also why there aren't third party command.com command line interpreters). But you have a large selection of UNIX-like commands. There is a sh program you can run, but I have encountered some memory limitations when runnin strictly within this sh program. The best is to just run DOS command.com, and have all the UNIX commands available. Check out their website, which I don't have handy. Search for MIX software. -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

This effect is significant and means that you will not get 100ma per hr for 12hrs. The general rule of thumb that is used where I work is approx 1.25 times the "straight division" of charger current into battery ah. So, for a 1.2 ah batt at 100ma charge, the estimated charge time would be 1200/100*1.25. or approximately 15 hrs. This should bring the batt to 90+ percent of full charge. To go to 100 percent requires a fairly long (8+ hrs) trickle charge afterwards.

" The knockout Mobilon has everything I can imagine in a palmtop computer and more. The beautiful 6.5-inch 640x240 colour display is the centrepiece of this 16 MB unit. There's also a voice recorder that allows you to record and playback voice memos. It comes with a built-in 33.6/9.6 Kbps data/fax modem. The icing on the cake is the optional digital camera that slips into the PC Card slot. The camera records 16.7 million colours at 640x480 resolution and comes with a 4X zoom (2X optical and 2X digital). The handheld PC also has all of the organizer and other applications that come in Windows CE 2.0, which now includes Pocket PowerPoint for presentations. The Sharp Mobilon HC-4500 will be available in Canada in January, priced at $1,599 with the camera and $1,299 without.

There is a very good Korn Shell implementation availiable from Garbo (ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/unix/ms_sh23b.zip) It is based on the Minix ksh and does pretty much anything you'd expect it to. I prefer 4DOS, though, since it is slightly faster and has better filename completion. They'll both require a minimum of about 400kb to comfortably.

Also I'd welcome any tips and tricks you've come up with. I'd be happy to share and compare ideas with anyone. Secondly, how do you run SWAPIS? I can't get it to work at all. Finally, I load IS from the system manager with the command c:\IS\IS.EXE|300 I then press the Alt + J combination to activate the programme. There is just enough memory to run IS and the appointments function with 10k memory left. To get back to IS, I use the Ctrl + 1-2-3 combination to hot key back into it. However, when IS first loads, why do I get the IS screen and the error message "Memory allocation error Cannot start COMMAND.exiting Press any key to exit to DOS"?

This phenomenon is usual when the a HP is charging and that the temperature rises but at room temperature with both my LX's on batteries, the second HP has a constant faded screen. ON-+ does not help. I have rebooted and taken out all batteries with no improvement. The only thing which worked was to put it in the freezer for 10 minutes, then the screen was ledgible again.

NAME TextExt DESCRIPTION Returns the length (in pixels) of the string s on the display, if a given font would be used to display it. The font (specified by an integer id) can be a proportional font as loaded by LoadFont, or a built-in one. SYNOPSIS #include "pal.h" int TextExt(int FntId, char *s); INPUTS FntId - a font id - either one of the constants SMALL_FONT, MEDIUM_FONT, LARGE_FONT (for built-in fonts), or an integer returned by LoadFont. s - the string that you want to compute the length of. RETURN VALUE Returns the length of the string (in pixels), or 0 on error. NOTE Note that TextExt is not a function, but a pointer to a function, also see the general remarks at the start of this modules description. (Under 'Unified font routines') SAMPLE int PosX; int Len; char *Welcome = "Hello PAL !; Len = TextExt(LARGE_FONT, Welcome); /* get length of string */ PosX = (MAX_X - Len)/2; /* center string horizontally */ TextOut(PosX, 10, TXT_RULE, LARGE_FONT, Welcome); /* display it */ Hope this helps, Owen Samuelson http://www.hom.net/~owensam/ptidx.html -------------------------------------------- ***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, 22 Feb 1998 12:41:46 EST Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, "Daniel Z.

(re: C:\_dat\setup.env) Comments: cc: wth@wthsun.nlm.nih.gov I have been annoyed that a file backup and restore does not fully restore my 200lx configuration. I have not seen this discussed, though I may have missed it. In honor of the Prisoner episode in which Dr. Seltzman transfers mind and psyche between people*, here is the "Seltzman Procedure" to fully clone your 200lx. After you first fire up the 200lx, these hidden and read only files are created and updated in C:_DAT (to see them, do attrib /s): HR ALARM.Q C:\_DAT\ALARM.Q R SETUP.ENV C:\_DAT\SETUP.ENV R CCMAIL.ENV C:\_DAT\CCMAIL.ENV H attribute files won't be copied with normal xcopy backup. Fortunately the ALARM.Q file is created and updated automatically. I don't care about CCMAIL.ENV, but you might. SETUP.ENV is what we all need. R (read only) files will be backed up e.g. by XCOPY C:\ <backup drive:<backup's root directory> but R files cannot be overwritten on the 200lx when you restore. So to restore SETUP.ENV and the original personality: -on the target 200lx: attrib -R C:\_dat\setup.env -then restore c:\ xcopy <backup drive:backup's root directory> /S <hp200lx c:\ -then for safety attrib +R C:\_dat\setup.env As I recall Buddy will need the registration key reentered, but everything else is fine. The same principles would apply to other 200lx drives with R or H files, but I haven't needed them.

Uh oh. I'd say if the card is still under warranty, you should send it back-- I don't think a flash card should be giving any bad clusters.

When dos marks a cluster bad, it then takes it off the available fat, so you can fill(?) the disk without seeing the error signals again, as the reported faulty sector is not being addressed.

I use a method mentioned by someone I believe, who was on the old listgroup and I'm sure others use something like it. My backups use pkzip. - I do nightly backups of my C drive to my flash card: pkzip -rp -whs -Jhr a:\bakup\cdrive c:\*.* - I do weekly backups of my flash card to my desktop, using a batch file that copies the flash card using pkzip/intersvr: pkzip -rp -wh -Jhr baknew_a d:\*.* > baknew_a.log When I need to restore something after a disaster (and I've seen my share believe me), pkunzip is used to put everything back (besides connecting the cable and starting a batch file, the entire process is automated). When my LX was stolen one dark day...and insurance replaced the LX and the flash card, I ran my restore using the backup and "reinflated" the new LX with the gist of my old one (first restoring the flash card, then restoring the C drive)....like seeing a dead friend reincarnated <g>. This method doesn't work for everyone...but like yours, it can be a starting point. The advantages for me: it's completely automated, and pkzip helps to reduce the space required to hold the backup. - 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, 23 Feb 1998 00:45:59 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Longden Loo <lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET> Subject: Re: I/O error Comments: cc: gates99@MEDCOR.MCGILL.CA Date: Mon, 23 Feb 1998 05:45:45 +0000 Message-ID: <19980223054543.AAA26998@Ý12.64.8.56¨> On 1998-02-23 HPLX-L@UConnVM.UConn.Edu said to lloo@worldnet.att.net >Seriously, is FDISK100 somewhere on my palmtop or do I get it from >somewhere (typing it at the DOS prompt, as well as FDISK, gave me >a 'bad command' error)?

I can't get my HP200LX to connect to the G3 and transfer waypoints, routes, etc. I set the G3 to GARMIN/GARMIN protocol, use the same cables I use for the 486, AND NOTHING TRANSFERS! The HP200LX just sits there and I have to reboot the unit. By the way, this type of testing is performed in DOS with the Applications Manager software not running. Using the very same cables and software (and setting the G3 to use the NMEA protocol) I can use the latest LXGPS13.ZIP software to see a moving map! Now THAT is some very COOL Software! I'm stumped. I can use my 486 to transfer waypoints, etc. But I can't seem to get the HP200LX to do the same. The LXGPS13.ZIP software works great though. Same software, same cables, same G3 etc. It's probably something so simple that I've just overlooked it. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks for all the help! (In Advance) Paul Stratton Paul_Stratton@email.msn.com Details: Software: LXGPS13.ZIP, G7TO.ZIP, and GARDOWND.ZIP All work fine on the 486. Both GARMIN and NMEA protocols G7TO.ZIP, and GARDOWND.ZIP do not work on the HP200LX. (Results: Seems to not work only on the GARMIN protocol.) -------------------------------------------- ***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, 23 Feb 1998 07:31:07 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Chris Lott <rclott@RO.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> Comments: Authenticated sender is <rclott@mail.ro.com> From: Chris Lott <rclott@RO.COM> Organization: Phase IV Systems, Inc.

I, too, have the exact same setup. I tried the G7TO program on my 200LX, and it worked the first time without a hitch. I was amazed at how easy it was to get going. I haven't tried the other program you mentioned - I don't remember if it's compatible with the 200LX or not. Back to G7TO... did you specify the correct COM port? I believe you must place a -1 on the command line for COM1, -2 for COM2, etc. It's in the help documentation. Type g7to -h I for help on inputting data from the GPS III, and you should see an explanation. BTW, I used the GARMIN protocol on the GPS III when running the g7to program. > I'm stumped.

I have downloaded several programs to supplement UXDOS, such as awk, which, nroff, to name a few. One time I did download a ksh shareware program that I found. It was such a big thing, that I abandoned the idea of porting it to my palmtop. I suppose I'll check into some of the other offerings that were posted this weekend. As for UXDOS, it has met my needs well over the past 4-5 years. There are a few minor differences to "ordinary" UNIX commands. For example, the grep program doesn't permit me to show +/-n lines from the matching line. But for the most part, I don't notice these minor issues. For your information, I did a ls >junk in the uxdos directory, and imported it below. This should give you an idea of the commands provided.

Can someone give me an alternative setup? I > tried putting Nettamer on my C:, but it is too large. What version of NT are you using? I run NT 1.08pt on my 6mb 200LX, but also had it running on the 2mb unit before the upgrade. OTOH, maybe the newer versions (they're at 1.10-1.11 now) are bigger...? Could be that the dialling operation reads a login or config file from the NT directory on the card you just swapped out. The NT documentation used to mention the minimal set of files you need to have access to for execution on a palmtop (since the author has a 200LX also). I have enough room now on my 6mb to have most of the NT stuff installed (takes about 400k, with help files), but I THINK you just need (for email) nettamer.exe and reader.exe and red.com (or your own text editor..for replies) and a login script file for your ISP (used to be called something like "service1.log"). Don't know for sure if that's still the case with newer version. Most other files are(were) created by NT as needed. Don't feel badly if the installation instructions are difficult to understand. In the pre-Post/LX days, it was a rite of passage to do a successful NT installation. Back then, the author (David Colston) also had more time and personally assisted many who emailed and asked for help...don't know if he still does that now that he has a life (ie, he got married <g>). - 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, 23 Feb 1998 10:10:37 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, "Longden C.

The one's they currently sell are STI-ATAFL/40 and are warranted for 5 years.

First Basic is Power Basic v2.0 rereleased, current is 3.5. (Confused? :-) You can get First Basic for free (trial, it is shareware) at SUPER or at www.powerbasic.com > Also you need to check Infocom's Z language and interpreter for text > based adventures. Ooh, I heard that the Z language should be a nightmare to program (very "spagetti-ish"!) Other basics: Qbasic has the advantage of being free, but it is only an interpreter, not a compiler like it older brother Quick Basic. Unless you need the GUI functions of VB-DOS then I don't think it has any advantages on the palmtop.

When Borland lost interest in Basic, they sold Turbo Basic to the original programmer, who then started his own company PowerBasic and is still selling the improved Turbo Basic today (under the name Power Basic obviously). Actually the newer versions of PB are very similar to Pascal; records and case structures, etc. are all implemented. PB (v3.0 and higher) even allow in-line assembler.

It might do some byte-code compiling, but it is still much slower than Quick Basic.

So now that you know, some of us hang out on the classiccmp@u.washington.edu list. You could find out more at http://haliotis.bothell.washington.edu/classiccmp/index.html except that it seems to be down right now, so instead I will point you to http://www.heydon.org/kevan/classiccmp/1997-07/msg00027.html which includes subscription instructions. So, what are y'all using to keep track of your collections? I started out with a couple of hundred loose S-100 cards in a 1-2-3 spreadsheet on a 95LX, and have made it to a couple of thousand small items in a .GDB database on a 200LX. And I'd guess that I'm maybe 1/5 done with taking inventory. But I know I'm going to run up against limits of the LX database software, and so I'm looking at installing dbXL (a dBase III mostly-compatible from the mid-late '80s) on the LX and moving stuff over to that. I'm thinking this is a good thing to do in the long run: I'd like to split the one database I have now into several sets with relations between sets, and I'd also like to be able to be able to have multiple pre-computed indexes into those sets for fast queries on different fields. -Frank McConnell -------------------------------------------- ***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, 23 Feb 1998 19:47:05 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, "Bernard A.

For one thing, I'm not sure what would happen to the built-in applications. Since most of the UNIX's have a different file system, you'd have to toss out the window all the ROM apps like Lotus 123, Quicken, Phone, Appt, etc... I'd love to hear otherwise, but I think we're pretty much stuck with a DOS FAT as the underlying file system, and probably the low-level OS as well. The only saving grace that I can see (and have found) is to either replace the CLI or supplement with UNIX command programs. I've found this entirely satisfactory, but your needs may be different than mine. Let us know what you find.

That's what NetTamer uses to let you read your mail. If you just did the download maybe you can defer the reading till after you put your flash card back in.

I had to dive into CIC100. The problem is (as mentioned before on this list) that you cannot run CIC100 only in one SC work area. CIC100 is an undocumented program on our palmtops written by www.systemsoft.com. The handbook says, use it like: CIC100 /GEN 1 This is a very strange command to invoke a ROM software on one specific machine. Well, I found out, that CIC100 takes at least 4 other command line parameters: /GENIO /GEN /V $ If you use one of these parameters after you installed CIC100 already, CIC100 responds: HP Card Installation Client Version 1.15 - 4/4/94 Copyright 1990-1994 SystemSoft Corp. All Rights Reserved CIC already installed: argument values updated If you use any other parameter, CIC100 responds: HP Card Installation Client Version 1.15 - 4/4/94 Copyright 1990-1994 SystemSoft Corp. All Rights Reserved No matching string in arg table /HELP ¬ Installation Failed: Command-Line-Argument Error The /V parameter seems to install CIC100 in a non-resident way, but I could not get my modem to work that way. But any other command worked fine with my XJACK1144. No need to append /GEN 1 Has anybody more information about CIC100?

Since you have the XJACK1144, there is a program that comes with the Developer's Guide called CICDEMO. This is a little assembly program that shows you how to interface with the PCMCIA socket. As a demo, the guy who wrote it used his XJ1144 modem, so the demo program will probably work with your modem without modification. The CICDEMO has one nice feature that CIC100 doesn't seem to have: it can be removed. Give it a shot and see if it can be made to work in a SC work area. -- Visit the 200LX site at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 24 Feb 1998 19:27:12 +0100 Reply-To: "duerig@usa.net" <duerig@usa.net> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Juerg Duerig <duerig@USA.NET> Organization: Personal Subject: Re: Outlook to HP Comments: To: "Brown, William" <wdlb5359@GLAXOWELLCOME.CO.UK> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Where, please, can we get this tool? - Juerg On Tuesday, 24 February, 1998 10:16, Brown, William ÝSMTP:wdlb5359@GLAXOWELLCOME.CO.UK¨ wrote: > Are you sure ?

The keys are always there! Alt+F or Ctrl+O is far easier IMHO than reaching for a mouse and finding the cursor and moving it carefullly to the correct place and highlighting the correct menu item and then going back to the keyboard. Consider the urge to print. i would go (in Word for Windows on my palmtop) Ctrl+P, Enter, and the printer starts up. Mr mouseman would stop using the keys, reach for his mouse, move it to the file menu, click on it, drag it to print (or click separately on print) move the mouse pointer to where the dialog box popped up and carefully place the pointer over the OK button and click again. You can actually do more with the keyboard with 2.03 than with 3.0 as the Microsoft boys and girls in their wisdom (?) reduced the keyboard access hot keys because they believed the world had embraced the rodentized environment. In 2.03 pressing Alt+Space will give you the control box menu for the active window and Alt+Hyphen gives the control box for the active child-window. One can select the menu option with the correct alpha key, or read the hot key option and learn those for faster work habits. Paint, in 2.03 has Full keyboard control, dig deep and you will find them! The files generated by Paint are laterly compatibile, and can be sucked into later versions of windows. The biggest drawback to 3.0 for me is the file manager, i find it to be cluttered and annoying, with it's multiple windows. The MS-Dos Executive (surely a candidate for the most overpowering name ever given to an app?) is KISS and works sweet for me. i still love the LX's built in apps though, and sometimes actually run 200 from windows, although i never try to tempt fate by trying to get it to Alt+Tab back and forth!

Actually with a touchpad close at hand, or a Trackblob, you can do it pretty quick. But why, if there's a quicker keyboard solution?

They were right! Rodentia have invaded our desktops, and even the lowliest computer has one, anymore. Even failing that, there's usually some sort of pointing device. My keyboard has a touchpad on it, and it's extremely useful. Still no excuse to ditch hot keys .. my favorites, Alt-F9 and Alt-F10, used to maximize and minimize windows, but now they just sit there orphaned. >In 2.03 pressing Alt+Space will give you the control box menu for >the active window and Alt+Hyphen gives the control box for the >active child-window. > >One can select the menu option with the correct alpha key, or >read the hot key option and learn those for faster work habits. Sounds like what we need is an adapter for an MIT Space Cadet keyboard. :) With 7 meta keys, you could enter maybe 4000 unique characters. Also, Alt-Space and Alt-Hyphen still work in 3.1 - not sure about 95 because I'm afraid to use it.

MS-DOS Exec is an overpowering name for an app, but how about the single, foreboding API call in Win 3.1 - SetWorldTransform()?

I often still use keyboard only on Windows, including Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 98. The menus are all accessible via ATL-letter; e.g., app exit is usually _F_ile E_x_it, thus that's ALT-F X, a key sequence very much hardwired into my fingers. ALT-F S for save is another such. ALT-space and ALT-hyphen still work, and TAB and shift-TAB and the arrow keys work great for moving around different fields. The one app that I use the mouse for is Internet Explorer. Microsoft actually makes a big deal internally about making sure apps run without the mouse. Just a week or two ago I was up in Redmond and I saw posters saying "have you tried using your app without a mouse recently?" The reason is "accessibility" -- making sure that the apps can be run by folks that cannot use a mouse for disability or other reasons. - Joe -------------------------------------------- ***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, 24 Feb 1998 22:04:38 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Yi Wang <yi@SPRINTMAIL.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Yi Wang <yi@SPRINTMAIL.COM> Subject: Re: Psion 5 comparison MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: Larry Soo <lhsoo@OFF-ROAD.COM> >>Can you write, compile, and run programs using PROLOG (a >>5th generation language for artifical intelligence?) > >I don't think so...can the HP run OPL?

You should be putting the boot in! (a) the Psion 5 is much less robust than the hp200 ... do you hear tales of P5's being thrown down concrete staircases, and just losing battery cover? (*only a flesh wound!*) Do P5 users emerse them in water to see what happens, and they still work? Do P5's work after you drop them down the toilet? NOTE: I'm arguing for the hp200... not it's users! :) (b) The P5 runs a specialised OS (which is better than DOS) but simply does not have access to the depth and breadth of software. It's not just PROLOG... it's every language and every software you can imagine. I bet you can get very good quality smalltalk and Ada for DOS if you want. Not even C is available for P5. ÝThough P5 has a spectrum emulator, and C compilers *are* available for that. This doesn't count!¨ This is due to DOS being a very popular and general OS for over a decade. A specialised OS just can't compete, no matter how good it is. Imagine a program, and it probably exists for DOS, better than your conception. > >...can the HP run OPL? > OPL is one of the worst dialog of Basic. OPL is not compiled, so not only is it obtuse and non-portable, it's also slow. I mean, it's good that they have it, but it is ridiculous to compare this with the wealth of languages available for DOS. OTOH, there is *talk* of java for P5 (as there is for WinCE). But this talk has been around for a bit now, and java is a nice, but *slowww* language - a valid design choice for its purposes. (c) The P5 does have some specialised software which is better - their mapping software comes to mind. (d) The P5 is a more advanced machine. HP should have produced an equivalent, enchanced hp200lx. And we've not happy about it. There *are* technical problems: such as no DOS for the low-power RISC processors that are currently favoured... <speculation> Another general OS that is already available for a RISC processor would be the way to go: lots of software available. Some unices fit this bill... </speculation> -- Brendan Macmillan bren@cs.monash.edu.au "Sometimes you just have to take the leap, and build your wings on the way down." -Kobi Yamada -------------------------------------------- ***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, 25 Feb 1998 16:32:13 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Al <wyn@ALPHALINK.COM.AU> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> Comments: Authenticated sender is <wyn@pop.alphalink.com.au> From: Al <wyn@ALPHALINK.COM.AU> Subject: Abaout AL, Prolog MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Some time ago there where several email about AL.

I think if you do it without permission from the owner it is illegal no matter how much time passes. A friend assumed (the killer) that some software he had for 10 years and no contact with published and author (they never replied) was abandoned. He distributed it to approx. 200 people in a business context. The lawsuit came fast and furious. He wiggled and wiggled, and lost it court, and on appeal. They collected more than you can iamagine, even though the part he distributed was not profitting him. Avi M.

Not a rumor. I have been using one for some time. It is very nice to have so much "real estate" on board. I have more on C: than on A: and that actually feels a bit weird, but nice :) ... Here is a chkdsk I took a few days ago: Volume Times2_Tech created 01-14-1998 12:29a 33455104 bytes total disk space 5120 bytes in 1 hidden files 21504 bytes in 11 directories 12435456 bytes in 344 user files 20993024 bytes available on disk 1024 bytes in each allocation unit 32671 total allocation units on disk 20501 available allocation units on disk 651264 total bytes memory 349664 bytes free The implementation is as an F: drive, which must be initialized the forst time with a program, then the driver is loaded in CONFIG.SYS, then the srive names are swapped, so C: becomes F: and F: becomes C:. Filer sees the 32MB. It takes a moment more to scan the drive, but not anything that is bothersome. The battery life is the same, basically. I did not measure the stuff scientifically (not that anal-retentive <g>...) and probably within 5-10% differences I would not notice. So I assume that the battery life remains within this range. thaddeus in US, One Stop Plmtop Shop, and Rundel in Wurope will distribute. I suspect also Shier will jump in there eventually (his call). Hal Goldstein said about 499.95, with some rebate for the larger units, but I do not have the details. Avi M.

Filer sees the 32MB. It takes a moment more to scan the drive, but not anything that is bothersome. The battery life is the same, basically. I did not measure the stuff scientifically (not that anal-retentive <g>...) and probably within 5-10% differences I would not notice. So I assume that the battery life remains within this range. thaddeus in US, One Stop Plmtop Shop, and Rundel in Wurope will distribute. I suspect also Shier will jump in there eventually (his call).

I wanted to thank all who responded in case I missed anyone personally. The set-up I now have is almost a complete installation of Win 3.0 minus all the unnecessary help files for the specific programs. I'm using a keyboard mouse emulator that was generously donated by a member of the list. I'm hoping to install within the next day or so a Windows word processing program and Excel. I did try to install an old copy of Trumpet winsock and Netscape 1.0 but unfortunately they both require standard or enhanced mode and the Win 3.0 is running in real mode. I can't imagine why anyone would want to by a CE machine, which from what I understand is merely a companion to Win 95 (I have no CE experience), when you can run the full-fledged version of Win 3.0 on the 200LX. As far as the Gameboy emulator, I downloaded it along with a couple of the Gameboy cartridge files and it runs pretty well on my speed doubled 200LX. It's no where as quick as the real thing, but it's pretty impressive to see it running on my little screen. I'm gonna play with the color set-up that is available to see if I can make it look a little better.

You use Alt-Ýkey to the left of backspace (on a standard PC keyboard, not the LX)¨ to access it (at least on a Danish keyboard). You can also configure it so you use ALT as the menu - like in "normal" programs. It did have some odd shortcuts, though - F3 was the default button for help!

Alt-space still works - couldn't get A-hyphen to work, but that might be due to my Danish keyboard. Actually, Caldera DR-DOS is not a bad choice - I spend most of my time in DOS and only "upgraded" :-) to Win95 because newer versions of the programs I use only came in 95 editions. > We need a new command shell - bash comes to mind.

I also got the Korn Shell installed and it does everything you'd want it to and runs reasonably fast on the LX. 4DOS has better filename completion, though. Why don't you give 4DOS or ksh a shot? Personally I'd go for 4DOS (well, I already did :-), since you don't need a lot of additional utilites - you do with ksh (things such as dir/ls and copy/cp are not built-in).

If the machine is fast enough it doesn't really matter if the language is slow.. I still remember how the computer magazines raved about the Acorn Archimedes when it came out; it was so fast that the programs could be written almost entirely in BASIC! :-) Still, it is true that it is non-portable. > OTOH, there is *talk* of java for P5 (as there is for WinCE).

What Psion need to do is release some information about the internals of the P5. That is the only way more programming languages will appear. Afterall, all you need is an "on the unit" assembler for the P5 and then you can create all the other languages from that :-) Just imagine... Linux on the P5 (and probably fast!)

(this may look familiar - i offered this in december and then discovered the gc bug described below. i didn't get a lot of response anyway :-}.) here's the deal: 1) xlisp version 2.1g. i used the xlisp 1.6 ported by mark oskin as a starting point. version 2.1g is quite a bit more like common lisp. it includes, for instance, the lambda list extensions (e.g. &optional, &rest), macros, backquote, format, separate namespaces for functions and symbol values, etc. the first handheld program i wrote was an astronomy program (see below). this turned out to be a lot more convenient to use if lisp had some idea of what the time and date were. so i added these functions plus a couple of others to the xlisp code. here they are: (time) returns the time as a fixnum: hhmmss (date) returns the date as a fixnum: yyyymmdd (seed <n>) seed the random number generator with a fixnum <n>, returns <n> (sleep <n>) sleeps for <n> (a fixnum) milliseconds, returns nil the rest is as documented by david betz, tom almy, and luke tierney. i also extended the printf that mark wrote to handle more (not all yet) settings for the *float-format* and *integer-format* variables. technical note: i had a real tough time getting a particular bug out of this program. the xlsave and the xlsave1 macros are supposed to protect things from the garbage collector. however, the visual c++ compiler in release mode decided to optimize away the part where the protected value gets set to NIL. this causes horrible and sporadic garbage collector bugs. since i have 95, not nt, i'm stuck with "printf debugging" (the remote debugging only works on nt). wah wah wah :-). turning off optimizations fixed the problem. 2) the astronomy program is an xlisp implementation of most of peter duffett-smith's book, "practical astronomy with your calculator, 3e", including the matrix manipulation. sun, moon, and planet positions can be calculated. it's a work in progress -- i haven't added setting and rising calculations yet -- have fun! 3) i also have an xlisp science fiction story writing program that originally implemented a gahan wilson story and was subsequently modified by me, tim finin, and evelyn orr. other xlisp compatible programs and documentation are available from the xlisp web site: http://www.teleport.com/~almy/xlisp.html if i get much of a response to this, i'll look into posting the code on a windows ce friendly web site. -geo --- George D.

Jeff: in order to be fully charged, the batteries should be at or over 2.90 volts for several hours.

Nope. It's not so much the heat issue as the external components of the CPU. The CPU could probably run safely at 60MHz+ with the modern manufacturing they use to put it together. The problem with going much past 32MHz is that the external components, such as the screen, the serial port, the PCMCIA socket, etc. become less and less stable and finally unable to keep up. So a higher speed upgrade is not likely without major redesign of the machine. :-( On the other hand, 36MHz has been done, but there are reports of the serial port malfunctioning... -- Visit the 200LX site at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 26 Feb 1998 07:58:47 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, mdstockr <mdstockr@NEO.LRUN.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: mdstockr <mdstockr@NEO.LRUN.COM> Subject: Re: ABC/LX & NiMH Batteries Comments: To: David Sargeant <davidsa@ACCESSNV.COM> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=us-ascii David, What about the maximum charge time?

These supplies are really neat and small! You can plug as many of them as you want into a power strip or outlet - you no longer need to lose an outlet when you plug in your adaptor. The website and e-mail address for them is: http://www.plugpwr.com service@plugpwr.com They helped me determine the connector that we need for the palmtop, based on some measurements I made on mine in our company's machine shop. Here's the scoop on the connector (these quotes are from my correspondence with Plug Power): "The connector is generically known as a 2.1mm DC Power Plug. The center hole is 2.1 mm , the O.D. is 5.5 mm and the metal part of the plug is 9 mm long. "This connector is widely available at many electronics parts sources. Radio Shack stores often stock them. A good source for these connectors (among many other things...) is Mouser Electronics. They have several types on Page 131 of their current catalog (#593). And here's the information on the entire power supply assembly: "Lastly I made new part number for the power supply with the 171-3217 Mouser connector attached and the Center Negative wiring for the HP 200LX to simplify future ordering: LV10-12-2.1mm @ $29.95 each + shipping. -Chris Lott *********************************************************************** R.

No way. Heat is not a problem. The Hornet chip is still far away from nowadays power hungry pentiums. The problem is the processor design (which is old) and the speed it was designe for. The Hornet IC was designed to work at a few different frequencies, 31.some MHz is the highest. Pushing it beyond would be overclocking, and as it is not internally ready to work at that frequency, a lot of hacks have to be done in order for the rest of clock-dependant peripheals to work properly.

It doesn't link libraries into the final executable but (I think) directly converts besic commands to equivalent assembly mnuenomics. The result is a VERY small executable. It also fits in about 400k with help files. Nice feature for these machines.

They got rid of a *very* useful feature, Thanks. I did use that feature alot. They (Lotus) have had it since 1.x. Guess it didn't fit into the MS vision of how we should do things.

The _only_ benefit I can see is modem > access, and that ain't much when Nettamer installs on a 1-2MB machine. A good point. OTOH, if you are wont to using EMS and all kinds of things needing swap space, the pace of life would be faster using on-board ram vs a flash card (and easier on your batteries). If you moved alot of your heavy apps from the flash card to internal, they would also load faster. True that NT can run from a 1-2mb LX internal drive, but then you have to swap modem and flash cards whenever you want to do NT or non-NT work. A 32mb space means you can likely keep most of your apps on-board, keep the modem card in the slot, and maybe just carry the flash card as a backup. IOW, it means less card-swapping. True, the benefits aren't without qualification (depends on each person). Also, a modem in the card slot all the time is a power draw in itself (I think). - 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, 26 Feb 1998 06:49:26 EST Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Brian A McIlvaine <bamcilvaine@JUNO.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Brian A McIlvaine <bamcilvaine@JUNO.COM> Subject: Function Keys Hey HP programmers: Is there an INT 5F routine to set the labels inside SysMgr?

I am very interested in gaining INTERNET access for email with my HPLX. I have everything I think I need, including 5 Meg internal memory, double speed CPU, and a PCMCIA modem. What I lack is the software, and further, the initiative to try any of the several options out there. I would like to get one thing, make sure it works, and then use it. To that end, I propose: ANOTHER SURVEY!!!!! Please email me (not the list, no need to tie up any more bandwidth than is already wasted) if you are using your HPLX ON A DAILY BASIS to access email. Emphasis is to make the point that if you don't find it easy enough to do daily, I'd probably just stick to a desktop. If you don't check your email on weekends, that's ok <g>. If you fall into this category, please send me the following info: 1. HPLX configuration (100/200, x2, memory) 2. Hardware (Internal PCMCIA, External Modem, Link to Desktop) 3. Software (NetTamer, WWW/LX, Other) 4. ISP (I don't really want the name - what I am interested in is it a dedicated ISP for HPLX connectivity, or is it your home account that you also use for access, a local BBS, your work account, etc.) 5. How long an average connection cycle takes per day. If you could qualify this with a byte measure of items download, it would probably be a better metric. If I get a relevant number of replies (My preliminary hope is for 20), I'll gather the results up and post them to the HPLX list and the SUPER site. Thanks for the data!

I should point out one thing,= and that is that the $500 price includes the memory upgrade and speed upgrade. = It's not much of a difference, but I just wanted to make that clear. As far as 32MB cards go, you can actually get a Microtech 32MB CF card with adapter for $186. Try http://www.firstsource.com and do a search= for it. The internal RAM upgrade is great, because it's twice as fast as the built-in RAM and therefore much faster than a flash card. It takes= up much less power as well, and now I can download mail and newsgroups= with wild abandon with my PCMCIA modem and Post/LX. For example, I used= to (with my 6MB unit) delete my mail folder at about 300K of so, or I'd= run out of space. But NOW, it'S way over two megs and climbing! I already have two 40MB flash cards and a 32MB card. They're great,= but a lot of time I will have them in my palmtop's case and not directly accessible. Now that I have a lot of internal RAM, I can save all my documents to the RAM drive and run all my most commonly used (but large) programs from there instead of having to root around in my bag and undo= a few velcro straps during, say, a lecture. Plus applications run significantly faster from the C: drive, particularly those that use= disk swapping of some sort. My 14MB American Heritage Dictionary can finally reside on the unit itself, instead of on a slower flash card. With the advent of this upgrade, the 200LX truly becomes a self-contained computer that can handle anything you want on it. Now, if only the= 64MB and 128MB upgrades would come out... <g> (Just for clarification, there really is no 64MB or 128MB upgrade...= yet.) -------------------------------------------- ***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, 26 Feb 1998 08:58:31 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Bill Childers <childers@GARLIC.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Bill Childers <childers@GARLIC.COM> Subject: CPACK and Windows 95...

Not just for me but for all my customers on average, which is why I also have LONG DISTANCE customers. This is the time it takes to log on, download a qwkmail packet, upload replies, and log off. To expand, besides email, these qwkmail packets include a variety of various conferences (echoes) we carry. We carry about 800 different ones, from Fidonet, Paul Revere Net, SeekNet, SurvNet, Intelec, plus selected newsgroups and email lists which are also converted to conference format. Thus, the HPLX-L list is conference 101, totally separate from Internet email. Average user seems to take about a dozen different conferences in addition to local and Internet email. I can't say enough about 1st Reader. Whether or not you would choose my BBS, you can find out more about it from www.sparkware.com. It's only $10 to register, but I own a site license for it so I can give it away free. If you'd like to check it out you will find it available for download at http://www.airpower.com/airpower.html. It's a comm program. It's a mail reader, with database built in. There are also lots of free add-ons available, a spell-checker among them. Also, it does your sessions automatically, unattended, for minimum connect time. It runs on DOS, Windows, WFWG, W95, and also Windows NT but I have had problems using a mouse with it and Windows NT.

What real value would I get for a $500.00 memory upgrade to my HP200LX? That's alot of money to put out for something that you can get in a flashcard for less than half the price, even if the access speed is faster. Then I've got to weigh that against the value of purchasing something like a Libretto that has a Pentium and lot's of options (granted that I would have to add more $$$ to get the Libretto). I guess that we all have our reason's for spending money and each of us receives value in different ways. I've been really struggling with justifying the $249.00 price for the 8 meg upgrade. Looks like the 4Mx16 DRAMs go for around $45.00 ea. or less in quantity.

However, you really end up just setting things up so that the batteries are charging for 15-16 hours, regardless.

That's presuming that your batteries are low to begin with. Lots of times, I may just top-off the batteries. 16 hours in those cases may be overkill (literally). You also have to keep in mind that as the batteries age and they start to lose capacity, 16 hours may start to get excessive. - 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, 26 Feb 1998 13:55:42 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, sponsor@FTEL.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: "A.

Regarding speed: the hp200lx has been reported to rival a 486 in speed. How can this be? The main reason I see is that *everything* is on a RAM disk. For disk intensive work (databases, LaTeX, compiling etc) this has got to be significant. More internal RAM continues this advantage. Double speed internal RAM is even better :) Of course, not everyone uses these applications, and so this advantage does not apply to them. And further, $500 rivals the cost of a new hp200lx. Then there's the PC110 and Libretto... Such is the price of progress. -- Brendan Macmillan bren@cs.monash.edu.au We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.

Last night, I knocked my 200lx (in a leather case) off the top of my refrigerator, onto a hard floor. At first I thought there was no damage at all. Runs just fine, thanks. After a while, I noticed that the rounded plastic cover of the hinge all the way across (above the key board, and below the screen) had sprung loose on the key board side. It appears that little teeth on the cover will simply hook into the basic machine if I apply "enough" pressure. Unfortunately, "enough" is "some" more than I am comfortable applying without being sure that no hidden trick lies in that direction. I suspect that one or more people on this list have been down this road. Do I just push a little harder?

The _only_ benefit I can see is modem > access, and that ain't much when Nettamer installs on a 1-2MB machine. > </A> It's true, the price is rather high. I should point out one thing, and that is that the $500 price includes the memory upgrade and speed upgrade. It's not much of a difference, but I just wanted to make that clear. As far as 32MB cards go, you can actually get a Microtech 32MB CF card with adapter for $186. Try http://www.firstsource.com and do a search for it. The internal RAM upgrade is great, because it's twice as fast as the built-in RAM and therefore much faster than a flash card. It takes up much less power as well, and now I can download mail and newsgroups with wild abandon with my PCMCIA modem and Post/LX. For example, I used to (with my 6MB unit) delete my mail folder at about 300K of so, or I'd run out of space. But NOW, it'S way over two megs and climbing! I already have two 40MB flash cards and a 32MB card. They're great, but a lot of time I will have them in my palmtop's case and not directly accessible. Now that I have a lot of internal RAM, I can save all my documents to the RAM drive and run all my most commonly used (but large) programs from there instead of having to root around in my bag and undo a few velcro straps during, say, a lecture. Plus applications run significantly faster from the C: drive, particularly those that use disk swapping of some sort. My 14MB American Heritage Dictionary can finally reside on the unit itself, instead of on a slower flash card. With the advent of this upgrade, the 200LX truly becomes a self-contained computer that can handle anything you want on it. Now, if only the 64MB and 128MB upgrades would come out... <g> (Just for clarification, there really is no 64MB or 128MB upgrade... yet.) -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 27 Feb 1998 12:35:33 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Al <wyn@ALPHALINK.COM.AU> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> Comments: Authenticated sender is <wyn@pop.alphalink.com.au> From: Al <wyn@ALPHALINK.COM.AU> Subject: DOSshell / DOS supplement MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT I add sup622.exe on my web page.

Is it better investment to get a 20Mb flash card or to get 8Mb RAM upgrade? I learned in the school that 32 > 8 But again, RAM is faster and has some other advantages. I'm simply interested in personal view/experience of people that have one or both. Also, are there different types of flash cards (like is FC for digital camera same thing as FC for palmtop)?

If you can get Access to export the data in CSV format (comma separated variable) then you can import the data into an HP .gdb database using GDBLOAD (found at the SUPER site..www.palmtop.net). The thing to watch out for is that GDBLOAD has a problem with big files and you may have to split your data up. Ive used GDBDUMP/GDBLOAD a couple of times to move data between the LX and another system. Its clunky, but it handles note fields and I don't think gdbio does. - 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, 27 Feb 1998 01:55:27 -0500 Reply-To: ingham@ibm.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: "Claud G.

Alt+Enter will window most dos progs, but the cpack has a special video driver, so you can't. BTW, this special video mode allows one to run programs that look for the LX envronment happily on the desktop. For example, PalEdit and HV html viewer.

Obivously just an opinion: Extra RAM is nice because it is faster, but only to a point because although speed is nice having the space to carry your applications and have them available is even nicer. If you do not have the space the have them around when you need them, their speed becomes a moot point! It therefore depends on what you are starting from. If you already have 4MB RAM, I think the advantages of a 20 MB flash card are significantly greater. I think the same holds true even if you have 2 Mb of RAM but some may argue with that. I would also look at the new Viking CF cards (with which I have no experience) because you might get even more card real estate for the same price and greater speed than a regular flash card.

CPack works fine on my > WIN95 set, by I cannot run it in a window. Oops.... It seems that I mis-understood the original query. No, I don't know of any way to have it run in a "WINDOW" under Win95. What I have runs under Win 95, and has an ICON that I click on. But when the program runs, it runs in FULL SCREEN mode.

If you sort by Street Name (assuming you have this in one of your columns), then you can find all companies on the same street. If the entire address (number and street) is in the same column, then you can find all company records having the same total address. Is this what you want? -Chris Lott *********************************************************************** R.

This is possible in Excel by setting up a > filter and exclude duplicates. Sort the list by address, add a formula in an empty column with an @if to check for duplicates. For example, if the addresses were in column B ...and column A was available, I'd enter @if(b2=b1,"Dup"," ") in the "A" cell adjacent to an address and this would put "Dup" in column A next to the duplicate entry (or it would be blank otherwise). Just copy the formula down the column for the number of entries. Someone with more Lotus experience probably has a better way...this is the quickest I know. /Data-Table-Unique may also be a way. - 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, 27 Feb 1998 08:54:43 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Chris Lott <rclott@RO.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> Comments: Authenticated sender is <rclott@mail.ro.com> From: Chris Lott <rclott@RO.COM> Organization: Phase IV Systems, Inc.

To be more specific, I have constructed a mailing list with companies merged from several SIC codes. Since some of these companies exist in more than one SIC code, I need to strip out the duplicates. The way to do this is to look for identical street addresses since some company names will be the same. If the street number and address (same field) are identical, I want to strip it out of the database. I don't really have to do this on the 200LX--I just want to compare the performance to what appears to be a really slow function in Excel. Thanks for your suggestion, Chris.

The modems I am thinking of are the Motorola Montana 33.6 and USR Sportster 33.6 x2 upgradable, any comments / suggestions? 3. How much interface can I expect with a PowerMac equipped with the Apple PC Compatibility 7" card (which uses all Mac peripherals for PC functions, but has no physical parallel port)?

Mime-Version: 1.0 (generated by tm-edit 7.100) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Hi All- Does anyone on this list use a product apparently sold by Opus 63 called the Pocket Liberator PalmTop Holster (PLPTH)??? It's an under-arm holster for the 200LX and other PDA's. Designed to be used sort-of like an under-cover policeman's gun holster that goes under the jacket, you know? I've been trying to get one of these products for about 4 months now, and am having a terrible time with it. Somebody gave me the phone number of the company (718.706-6787), and I called it back in November of 97. I spoke with a fellow by the name of Elder Duque, and he told me that they were just out of stock on one of the components (the shoulder harness), but he'd send me a catalog. I waited and waited, but it never showed up. I called back repeatedly over the course of a month or so, and got nothing except his voice mail. Then, miraculously, in january, he finally answered his phone. I thought that maybe he had been on vacation or something. Well, I ordered all of the products I wanted from him (gave him my credit card number and everything), and he said I should expect the products in 6 days or so. Nothing arrived, and it's been a month. I've tried calling again, and now there's not even a voice mail system that's operating. I'm getting the impression this guy is a real flake and maybe he's going out of business but is afraid to admit it to a potential customer. Does anyone know anything about this company and/or product? I've seen photos of it on various web pages, and it looks like exactly what I need. However, I can't find anyone else who makes a similar product (under-arm holster for my 200LX), and I can't reach this guy to save my life. Any clues on the availability of similar products from other companies would be very welcome. I really need one of these things or it becomes too hard to use my 200LX at work (industrial environment where it needs some protection or it's likely to get broken).

It might also be a printer problem, but troubleshooting IR devices is kinda difficult. How can I tell whether the problem resides in the sending device or the receiving device? I downloaded irda097.zip from SUPER and installed as per the README.TXT in that zip archive, but when I try printing to my new HPLJ 6MP (with IrDA port), I get nothing -- no response at all.

Since I end up wearing a lab coat that's loaded down with pocket reference books on a daily basis (the scourge of the house officer), I didn't want to get something that was too bulky. At Virgin Megastore I found a case that works out quite nicely. Cost is about $8-12. It is a camera case made by CaseLogic, so I'm sure you can find it anywhere. They make two sizes with a variable amount of features. I bought the smaller one since it met my needs better. The case is made of Cordura nylon and is padded throughout. The outer flap velcro's over the top to hold your baby in place, although it can also tuck inside so that you have quickdraw access to the palmtop. A side pocket of elastic webbing is perfect for holding pens, calipers, etc. In back is a beltloop strap that buttons on the bottom so that you can quickly attach/deattach it from your person. Also on the backside is a zippered pocket that is perfect for holding change, business cards, or a PCMCIA modem. The LX fits nicely in the main pocket with a little extra room on the sides, so I'm sure it could probably accommodate one of the WinCE machines (though the larger case may be a bit more appropriate for the larger palmtops since they would probably poke out of the top). The larger model also has a fold-out rain cover, but that hasn't really been an issue for me. Anyway, I just wanted to share my experience with the group.

This is an originally-1-meg machine that had the 8-meg doublespeed upgrade from The Palmtop Paper group months ago, and has an EXP LXM-8 faxmodem-RAM card in it.

I had the same thing happen yesterday! I spent most of today trying to find the exact cause of the problem, and I'm still baffled!!! - I placed my LX in my Smart Dock ~5:00pm EST, and it started to boot, but failed to boot completely. - Everything from CONFIG.SYS seemed to load OK, but when my AUTOEXEC got to andrew2, the problems started: - the font loader appeared to load OK (but later I realized that the font was not changed from the default. - EXKEY was the next program to load, which failed. - MOREEXM was next to load, but it stalled here. Here are my observations after a few hours of investigation: - both the EXKEY.ini & MOREEXM.ini files appeared to be intact. - I finally ran CHKDSK, and my TREMM.SWP was corrupted as well as one large .TXT file that was open in Vern Berg's LIST. ~carosel.tmp was also corrupted. There were a few other files corrupted as well which were not open, or related. - Hilighting a file in FILER and ENTER gave an error msg ("cannot find ÝMORE¨") even though FILER.ini & PNS200.ini appeared OK - Software Carousel would not load, "Could not find CAROUSEL.PGM" although that file appeared OK. *** I had attributed this to a glitch in SC until now!!! BTW: I also have a 1mB 200LX upgraded to 2x, 8mB. - I have a STACked 4mB EXP1414LXM which appears to be OK. Anybody Else Have a Problem? I find it hard to believe this is a coincidence!

For those uniniated, Nethack is a great free text game in constant development. If you've ever played the old Old OLD games like Rogue or Hack, it's basically the same thing but greatly expanded. What it lacks in graphics it easily makes up for in gameplay. Anyhow... I would have tried it already but it is just a bit bigger than my 2MB HP will hold :(... I have been considering getting a RAM card (for other reasons too, not just to play Nethack (although it's a factor :) )), but would like to know whether or not it actually works. If no one has tried it and feels like they're in an experimental mode, download it from http://reality.sgi.com/david_neu/slash-net-hack.html and let me know the results. Thanks.

Hi Dennis, Just sold my Model 100 after over 15 yrs. of service about a month ago,= and I had that driver/software too. The software was call LapDos II.

Thanks. It works. Takes 2.2Mb.... On an unspeeded up 100LX with 384K of EMM (it seems to recognise EMM) it takes about 2 seconds for most moves. Faster than on a DS with no EMM. I don't have EMM on my DS palmtop, but reckon the speed would be quite acceptable with that combo. The docs say the EMM is required ... and that otherwise at some parts of the game one may run out of memory. I tried the version that needs 570K of lower RAM. Got the real mode version of nh321. The docs say they hadn't tested it on a 286 so I was pleased to see it run on the palmtop. Pretty slow though. Chris, I wouldn't buy a flashcard just to run this one ;) Regards, Tony -------------------------------------------- ***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, 28 Feb 1998 17:33:19 -1 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU>, Bas Pruijn <pruijn@USA.NET> Sender: HPLX Mailing List <HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU> From: Bas Pruijn <pruijn@USA.NET> Subject: Re: CPACK and Windows 95...

These files show really rubbish. So, when I happen to do a ctrl-alt-del, I will find that the reboot hangs. I have SC and TREMM installed (but it has happened without TREMM as well), plus Buddy, moreexm etc. It has happened at least 4 times now. In most cases I had to remove the batteries. I had SC Buddy before, but not moreexm and tremm. It has not happened with my old 2x 4Mb before. I am at a loss and make daily backups now:-( If someone has a clue I would be grateful.

Well, i should have given this application a closer look, earlier! i have been held up in my other studies/writing by the gift of a full package of dbase IV and have been up late at night reading the manuals and working it all out on my LX. (Nothing beats having the manuals!) Yes, it does run on the palmtop, it takes about 3.5meg with all the help & tutorial and sample files, but can be skinnied down to under 2meg. The ability to import txt, 123, csv's and export to several different formats and generate applications is great. It actually runs faster on my standard 200LX than on my ancient 386sx Toshiba, directly due to disk access speeds. i can seriously recommend dbase as an awesomely powerful program that will run on our favorite pocketable computer.

Mack says the chips are extremely low power users. I have not noticed any reduction. I admit that I am also not measuring anything scientifically, just by impression.

For example, in a list of companies with addresses, would Yes, possible to weed out duplicates. You need to use the Data set of commands with Unique. It is a long (and boring) explanation, so may I suggest to get a manual or a book on Lotus 123? I sort the list, then do Unique on it.
