Prior to using your driver, I had to attempt to initalize the modem, reboot & it would come up on the second attempt. Now I run my com program from a batch file (which loads & unloads the CIC200 driver as well) & the modem comes up on the first try.

When I wanted to get a 2mb LX upgraded to 6mb by Mack of T2T last year, the question came up as to which 2mb models were upgradeable to 6mb, his suggestion was: "You would definately be better off getting a 2MB model and the serial number should start with SG6.

As stated in the earlier post, check the Marcan website (see below). The only real addendum I wanted to make was Mack's remark about the Esc-On test.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I just made a nice little discovery that will ease my communications from Linux to my 200LX: Since I use lxtools all the time to transfer files and I also like to hook into my Linux box for a direct serial connection with WWW/LX, I use two different serial lines. Reason is, lxtools won't work with a getty on the serial line and WWW/LX won't work without one. This had me constantly crawling under my desk to switch lines. I just now put a Belkin Slimswitch #F1B024-V inline to try and switch between the two and low and behold it worked! I rotate the switch to "A" for WWW/LX or a serial terminal and "B" for lxtools. I used the HP adapter #5181-6640 (printer icon) at the end of my 1015 serial cable for the I/O port. For the A and B ports, I just plugged my Cyclades card cables in with no adapters. Just a helpful tidbit. :) Mitch -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 1 May 1998 09:44:59 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Gordon Stevens Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Gordon Stevens Subject: Voice Recorder for the HP200LX -Reply Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain I would like to buy one too. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 1 May 1998 10:09:32 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Patrick West Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Patrick West Subject: power adapter MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII The FAQ, which is slightly old states that a Radio Shack Cat no. 273-1652b seems to work.

I have both the 273-1652d and the HP adapters. Use the former at work and the latter at home, both work fine under a full load (charging while driving a 14.4 PCMCIA modem). I did have another of the same RS adapters that seemed to have quit on me, so the question may be more of quality than whether there's sufficient power. - 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, 1 May 1998 12:14:20 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , sponsor@FTEL.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "A.

(for everybody else this is about the DataPerfect database program available at: http://www.sanbachs.com/compusofl/download.html) I downloaded them all - and if you decide you will use the program you will probably download all of them as well. DPTUTOR.ZIP will give you a tutorial to see what the program looks like and a little bit of what it can do. To write your own apps you MUST have DPPROG.ZIP which has the 2 files necessary to run the program that's all you need to put on your computer to run the program and create databases. The file DPAPPS.ZIP has a number of apps that shipped with the program originally - these 2 zipped files will give you all you need to run the program and sample apps. The manual (less illustrations/tables) is in the file DPMAN.ZIP in WP5.1 format - after you decide if you want to look further at making your own applications you will need to download it. As for the other files the description should let you decide which ones you may want - as I said, I downloaded them all. There are also a couple of password protected files - one is DPMOUSE a utility which adds mouse support and some functions to DataPerfect - the other is an excellent book by Ralph Alvy - No need to download these unless you want to buy the password to unzip and use them Both are worthwhile if you get serious about developing applications.

I'm also having a problem with an HP100LX 2MB locking up, but I'm not sure it is a problem with lack of memory since I can run the program from System Manager's DOS window (CTRL-123) after running ASERCTL first. 2. When I run Dexter text editor, it runs and exits OK under the following situations: a. From plain DOS. (System Manager not loaded). b. From Filer after loading System Manager. c. From Application Manager (using the | symbol after the filename). d. From a Software Carousel (SC) DOS window after loading both SC and System Manager. 3. The problem is that Dexter locks up at the first screen under the following situations and requires CTRL-SHFT-ON to restart palmtop: a. After loading System Manager and loading Dexter in System Manager's DOS window (CTRL-123). b. After loading SC, then System Manager, and then loading Dexter in System Manager's DOS window (CTRL-123). c. After loading SC, then System Manager, then Norton Commander in System Manager's DOS window (CTRL-123), and then loading Dexter with Norton Commander. 4. I have gotten Dexter to run OK under the situations in paragraph 3 above if I first run ASERCTL in System Manager's DOS window before running Dexter. However, when I then exit Dexter, I get the following error message: "Memory allocation error Cannot start COMMAND, exiting" 5. I've tried loading COMMAND.COM before Dexter, but Dexter still locked up. 6. So I've found ways to use Dexter, but I'd like the flexibility to load it at any time from any program. 7. Do you still think it is a memory problem? Any other ideas as to what the cause of the problem may be? ========= MESSAGES TO WHICH RESPONDING ========= Date: Tue, 28 Apr 1998 10:37:09 -0700 From: "Longden C.

When you run it from the App Menu, you usually get what the default allocation for DOS is (I think its about 96k on stock LX's).

I recently acquired an HP300 OmniBook, with 2M of RAM and a 40M hard drive stacked to 80M. The unit is in excellent shape, except the battery only lasts about half an hour with the hard drive in. When I run it with the 10M card from my HP100, it lasts about and hour or two. A new battery is $45 from McGlen. Having played with this OmniBook for a month, I love it, it is the ultimate writer's machine. There are no manuals, but everything is self explanatory from the help files in ROM. This machine runs windows 3.1 and has WORD and EXCEL in ROM as well as the HP PIMS and calculator. It has no disk drive, although they can be obtained on the net for $50 or less. I just use LapLink(also built into ROM) to transfer files, or use a PCMCIA RAM card. I really need to replace my venerable old HP100, however. It's right hinge broke off completely a few months ago(although the unit still functions). Therefore, I would like to trade the HP300 with 2M or RAM for an HP200 with 2M of RAM. If your are tired of that tiny little keyboard, please respond by email, if you are interested.

Any other ideas as >to what the cause of the problem may be? Don, My gut feeling is that you have a memory space problem. Common to all lockups are running Dexter from Ctrl-123 which gets you the default DOS ram allocation in your Setup. The fact that you can reliably run dexter using the maximum ram methods (Filer, plain DOS, or using vertical bar in icon definition) seems to bear that out. It's possible that ASERCTL plays some tricks with memory that somehow allows dexter to run, albeit unreliably. I'm not really familiar with ASERCTL. What you need to do is check the amount of default ram you have set for DOS (Setup/System/Advanced/DOS)...I believe the default is about 96k. Check the docs for dexter and find the recommended amount of RAM they suggest for the program, then set the same amount (or more) in Setup. - 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, 1 May 1998 23:50:25 -0500 Reply-To: speters@kdsi.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stan Peters Subject: Re: Hinge Break Comments: To: Larry Brockman MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Was there any premonition?

In-Reply-To: <3.0.5.32.19980501193417.00ad58f0@mail.thegrid.net> from "Gene Johnson" at May 1, 98 07:34:17 pm Content-Type: text All this recent discussion about serial ports brought to mind a real strange problem that I encountered several years ago when I first bought my 200LX. I was on travel at the time, and had with me this suitcase-sized "luggable" computer. One thing that the luggable lacked was a modem. Well, I got to thinking, and figured that I could turn my palmtop computer into a modem. I wrote a real short program in C (using the Power C compiler) that would read characters from the wire serial port (COM1) and copy them to the serial modem card (COM2). This worked like a champ... well, almost. There was one flaw. I could start off a modem session just like normal from the luggable. I could "talk" to my pseudo- modem using the standard AT commands. I could set and query the modes, and dial a number just fine. But, whenever the modem would connect, something would happen that would lock up the palmtop. Later I wrote to Megahertz (my modem mfr) to ask what this problem might have been. Their reply was that their modems weren't made to be used in this manner?!?! I was so frustrated with this I just gave up (... in *what* manner? You can't talk to it from your program? Arggh....) Has anyone here had experience accessing the COM2 modem from within a program? If so, is there any special considerations that must be taken into account, above and beyond those associated with a normal serial port? Especially, is there anthing special or unusual that happens at the moment of connect that I should be aware of? It would be nice to get this working. That would be yet one more useful function my palmtop coule fulfill. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

Got this this morning and had to send this to you. Hope you enjoy as much as we did! Cathy Life on a Deserted Island <*<*<*<*<*<*<*<*<* A hurricane came unexpectedly. The ship went down and was lost. The man found himself swept up on the shore of an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing. Only bananas and coconuts. Used to 5-star hotels, this guy had no idea what to do, so for the next four months he ate bananas,drank coconut juice and longed for his old life and fixed his gaze on the sea, hoping to spot a rescue ship. One day, as he was lying on the beach, he spotted movement out of the corner of his eye. It was a rowboat, and in it was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen. She rowed up to him. In disbelief, he asked her: "Where did you come from? How did you get here?" "I rowed from the other side of the island," she said. "I landed here when my cruise ship sank." "Amazing," he said. "I didn't know anyone else had survived. How many are there? You were lucky to have a rowboat wash up with you." "It's only me," she said, "and the rowboat didn't wash up; nothing did." He was confused. "Then how did you get the rowboat?" "Oh, simple," replied the woman. "I made the rowboat out of materials that I found on the island. The oars were whittled from Gum tree branches. I wove the bottom from palm branches and the sides and stern came from a Eucalyptus tree." "B-B-But that's impossible," stuttered the man. "You had no tools or hardware. How did you manage?" "Oh, that was no problem," replied the woman. "On the other side of the island there is a very unusual stratum of alluvial rock exposed. I found that if I fired it to a certain temperature in my kiln, it melted into forgeable ductile iron. I used that for tools, and used the tools to make the hardware. "But enough of that," she said. "Where do you live?" Sheepishly, he confessed that he had been sleeping on the beach the whole time. "Well, let's row over to my place, then," she said. After a few minutes of rowing she docked the boat at a small wharf. As the man looked to the shore he nearly fell out of the boat. Before him was a stone walk leading to an exquisite bungalow painted in blue and white. While the woman tied up the rowboat with an expertly woven hemp rope, the man could only stare ahead, dumbstruck. As they walked into the house, she said casually, "It's not much, but I call it home. Sit down, please; would you like a drink?" "No, no thank you," he said, still dazed. "I can't take any more coconut juice." "It's not coconut juice," the woman replied. "I have a still. How about a Pina Colada?" Trying to hide his amazement, the man accepted, and they sat down on her couch to talk. After they had exchanged their stories, the woman announced, "I'm going to slip into something comfortable. Would you like to take a shower and shave? There is a razor upstairs in the cabinet in the bathroom." No longer questioning anything, the man went into the bathroom. There in the cabinet was a razor made from a bone handle. Two shells honed to a hollow ground edge were fastened onto it's end inside a swivel mechanism. "This woman is amazing," he mused. "What next?" When he returned, she greeted him wearing nothing but vines - strategically positioned - and smelling faintly of gardenias. She beckoned for him to sit down next to her. "Tell me," she began, suggestively, slithering closer to him, "we've been out here for a very long time. You've been lonely. There's something I'm sure you really feel like doing right now, something you've been longing for all these months. You know..." She stared into his eyes. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. "You mean--?" he replied, "I can check my e-mail from 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: Sat, 2 May 1998 10:58:28 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , jjohnson@TMCC.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jim Johnson Subject: Connecting with WWW/LX Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Ok List.

I would suggest backing up a step and seeing if MCI will work with PAP/CHAP. Just select "ISP using PPP with PAP or CHAP" in WWWSETUP and enter your login/password in the dialog boxes. If that will work, you don't need a script. If it doesn't, try turning on debugging so you can see what is going wrong.

Shier still has the Newton keyboard for the Palmtop for sale even though the Newton itself has been discontinued. Check out http://www.shier.com/Newtkb.html. I bought one and find it very valuable.

I've got your simple (read *cheap*) solution. Get a surplus terminal for $10 or so. Plug it into your serial port on the 200LX and issue the CTTY command. Voila - you've got a full size screen and keyboard for many editing and command-line tasks. No dice with built-in PIM apps or 123, however. But it's a cheap option that might serve your needs. I can provide more information if you're interested. Some editors work better than others in this mode.

Site. WWW/LX could not download anything from our pages. Avi Meshar was very generous in outfitting Peter and I with the latest, greatest WWW/LX Plus and we have now solved the problem. We all thought that the incompatibility was due to the way we count downloads so the Top 20 page can be built. There is an HTTP and a FTP re-direct in the same link. Andreas did not think that HV would work with such a link and we had accepted that and were working on a fix. It turns out that HV doesn't mind the link format, but it does not like the ftp server where our main collection resides. The folks at D&A have been aprised of this and are most likely working to clear this up as there are probably many other sites out there running the same server software. The good news is that we have added a few lines of Peter's clever perl code and now our pages are WWW/LX-friendly again! Give it a try and let me know if you have any more problems. Mitch S.U.P.E.R.

The display used a virtual screen so that you could "pan" over the whole screenful of information in the spreadsheet. The cost when it came out in 1989 was $499, and it was actually a nifty, innovative machine at the time.

Is there a way to quickly move an item higher up the list within a set of items belonging to one priority? For example, say I have five priority 1 to do's and I want to move the 4th in the list to the top position. The only way I've been able to do this is to keep on cutting and pasting the item above the item I want to move up. Cutting and pasting forces the item to the bottom of the list within the priority group you're in. On a related subject, just thought I'd mention how I've set up my to do list. I have many items in my to do. What I needed was a list showing just what I have to do "today" and a master list. I've created a today to do list. A macro changes priority within today's to do's quickly and easily. My master to do items I keep within the note in a single master to do item at the bottom. I keep the master to do item at the bottom by assigning a priority C. Within the note, I have all my master to do's listed under projects and other subject headings. It's much easier to do that in a note than trying to come up with diiferent headings in a conventional list (you run out of priority letters if the list is long). A macro moves selected text into a today to do. Say there's 4 lines in the note I want to move. The macro puts the 4 lines into a today note, then cuts the first line and puts it into the to do box leaving the other 3 in the note. Say I've got too many items in today's to do. A macro sends items back into the master to do note leaving the to do and note selected ready to cut and paste anywhere in the note where I want. I find this the best way to manage the many to do's I have to organise every day. It suits my way of working. The only downside is losing all the content in the master to do not if you accidentally hit the clear button. Regular back - ups and saving the note regularly as an ascii file overcomes this.

I have looked into using the National Instruments DAQ700 (a type 2.1 PC card) for data acquisition, without success. The problems I ran up against include: The HP200lx only support type 2 standard cards, not 2.1 The NI DOS drivers are written for the 286 chip-set or higher, and so don't work with the HP chip. Considerable work would be involved in writing the acquisition and storage software, and I'm not a programmer I was told that it would be possible to "talk" to the card at the registry level, but again I don't know enough about programming, and I can't "con" anyone else to do it for me. You may also need to look at the current draw of any card you decide to use - the HP just squeezes in (I think it's 130mAmp).

Comments: To: RB In-Reply-To: <354D2A4D.F875CC3A@sonoma.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I recently bought a Psion series 5 although I have been (and still am) a very fond HP100LX user for almost 4 years now. The Psion is BY FAR the best PDA on the market, much better than ALL those Win CE units. Here are its main advantages: - proper keyboard (there's no way you can really touch-type on any of the WinCE machines) - fast interface (faster than those 80MHz units) - small and light (can still fit in a real pocket) (especially when compared with those HP and Sharp color units...) - very intuitive GUI - very successful sales all around the world (except maybe in the US...) which means lots of prgs and extensive support (go surf the web and you'll see) - full compatibility with the most current PC and Mac SW - offers exactly the same functionalities as any Win CE unit plus lots of add-ons and goodies that make this machine very user-friendly. - EPOC 32 becoming some sort of standard (see those EPOC compatible units that came out recently...) OK, no color, but what's the big deal, since the display is clear enough... You're not going to process high resolution color photographs with your PDA, that's far beyond its primary use. Honestly, I've tried all the latest WinCE PDAs and I would be interested to hear some comments from the people saying that the Psion 32 is not worth considering... I still use my HP100LX, I still think it is superior to all those Win CE machines, but I had to admit that the Psion 5 was a bit ahead... So take my word for it, go Psion 5 and you won't regret it ! The Pilot units are good alternatives, but I think they are only suitable for people who don't need to input lots of data. Otherwise they're great !! Think about the Rex as well...

I have about 100 to-do's... initially I had them all in the Todo list in the Appt manager. This was a drag on the system, though, as each of them were being copied to the next day on every new day. To alleviate this, I made a master list, too. But instead, my master list of todo's is stored in the Appt Manager Todo list on the date 1/1/2011... or for short, 1/1/11 when you enter the date into appt manager using the Goto (F5) function. A couple of macros shuffles them back and forth between the current day and the master todo list day. This prevents the massive copy over night for all of the todo's on yesterdays list, and still allows me to use the same priority field. BTW, I use the priorty field in this fashion: Priority prefixes of B are for Business (Work), P are for my own business (Par Computer Solutions, Inc.), O is for Other (Personal). I suffix the priority with a number for importance. When I really want a mandatory list for the current day, I will change the priority to the following: 10 DO THIS MORNING!!! 20 DO BEFORE THE END OF THE BUSINESS DAY!!! 35 Do during lunch. 40 DO THIS AFTERNOON!!! 70 Do after the end of the business day, but before I retire for the evening. I manage all of my priorities over coffee and the occasional breakfast, and have a final list before I start rolling for the day. Hope this helps someone 8¬). ---Michael Stocker wrote: > > Peter, > What I do is categorize priorities as A, B, C and D.

If you reserve A1 for just the things that HAVE to be done before lunch, and A2 for just those things which have to be done before breakfast tomorrow, you shouldn't have too big of a problem -- unless, of course, you have too big of a job. Are you mixing tasks with projects? An A1 might be Return The Boss's Call About My Promotion. An A1 would NOT be Make The World Safe For Democracy, even if Making the World Safe is more important, and can be accomplished by the middle of next week. Making the World Safe would possibly be B1, if that's where you put the important things which can't be done immediately.

What occurrs to me is that with the ease of development and availability of the 'simple' microproccessor packages like the Parallax Basic Stamp, and the various motorola packages (all of which have serial ports) it'd be easy to set up data accquisition using the serial port and a relatively inelegant use of dtatcomm...

IMHO those units are really good "tools" if you need "Personal Info Manager" and something that you can "play" with. Some pros: + Backlight (Pilot Pro); + Small (fits in your shirt pocket), simple (you don't need to open any latch), and light; + Easy & true synchronizing between unit & desktop(s); + Fully compatible PC software (runs under Win/Win95); + Simple but useful ToDo function with very functional ToDo printout; + The "global search" function is fast & handy; + Easy to use (very user-friendly); + Software installation is easy (plenty of software out there!); + Numerous interesting games can be downloaded from the Internet; + Have trendy & futuristic look. Some cons: - No keyboard. You either pick characters or write one character at a time using the stylus; - Good database is not yet available; - Spreadsheet is not as powerful as Lotus 1-2-3; - Small screen; - AAA battery instead of AA. I have a feeling that PalmPilot will be my next palmtop, unless my HPLX get a backlight & 32MB upgrade ...

I would never ever have thought of this, because I'd be looking for portability - but if you want trully proper sized keyboard, you can't have portability - it is a perfect (and very very cheap) solution.

Quite true, but it's a matter of degree - while carrying the Newton keyboard around *does* reduce the portability a little, it'd only be a by a little (I imagine, since I don't have one). The Newton keyboard is approximately the same size as the hp200lx itself, I think. -- Brendan Macmillan bren@cs.monash.edu.au Telephone +61 03 990 55194 http://www.cs.monash.edu.au/~bren 10.

I challenged Jeff J. here to try out WWW/LX Plus and outfitted him with an evaluation copy. He wrote very warmly about GP, and I wanted to see what he'd say about WWW/LX Plus. I know he started and had some work done. But I have not heard in a week. He mentioned he may be quite busy... I'd love to see a comparison of all three. We can always learn something (my company, D&A Software, produced WWW/LX Plus!). Avi M. ÝD&A¨ As I think of it, this may be too much work for one person. Perhaps three people should stand up. One proponent "champion" for each product, and then each should try at least one other product, maybe both, at least some aspects of all three, then write up one report among them - i.e. each of them gets to have a hand in the report. This will probably level out biases, if any, and give each product a good shot, as well as an opportunity to be scrutinized. Could be fun! ...

I am a registered user of Nettamer and the author of Goin' Postal. The main reason I started writing GP was because of the awful user interface in Nettamer. I really hate to bad-mouth another program, but the user interface in Nettamer is about as non-intuitive as I've seen. I registered it assuming I'd get used to it, but I never did. > I have used Nettamer myself, but am unfamiliar with anything else. I do > email & newsgroups daily with it.

It's primary goals are to run on a 1mb unit, be intuitive, and offer some handy features for a unit that'll be moved between places with likely different dialing needs. > I have a 100lx with 2meg.

Have people with rare gemz like Win2.03 with Word and Excel in shrinkwrap to put them up for other fellow HPLX guys to use and enjoy. 3.) Learn a bit of HTML in the end. :) HP200LX-CORP (I couldn't think of anything else) stands for HP200LX-Concern Over Regulated (read BSA/SPA) Programs. I am also planning to put up a PMR, a Poor Man's Resource guide for the HP200LX. A starting point would be how to get POP/NNTP/FTP/*IRC* and so on things in the 200LX with means of LXTCP v0.8, DOSPPP 0.6 and other things.... I haven't got it up and running on mine yet, so I will just add the stuff as they come. Other PMR might be on how to install JAM/Stacker (I use JAM myself, coz I only have a C:, and it appears Stacker will NOT stack my C:); Many pages seems to have a flippant explaination on how this is done. I hope to be able to be write a understandable version of the JAM installation. With Stacker, I hope someone can submit a similar help to the site. Well, this site might be coming up next week, as I am starting on the text based thing first, then I will start with the easy part, the oldwarez part. Further from there, I will try to do my best to learn what the hell are tables. The interesting thing is, I am doing this off the 200LX, no WYSIWYG yet... Hope I can contribute to the community that have helped me in so many ways I could have never done so myself. I will post up the progress data again soon. ... Microsoft crawls under Gates.

The web browsing you have used, so you know about that. Wwwlx has a very different interface. Nice main view with your selected mailboxes & newsgroups, and how many msg's are in the in & out boxes for each, whether they've been sent or read, and other stuff. Seems like a = PAL app, with menu's and all. The web Browser is really much better. I decided it was worth 89 bucks = after trying it out even in it's crippled demo state. HV is the html viewer and it's real nice. Nettamer is faster getting news and mail. Wwwlx is a much more beautiful and polished product with a nice browser. They both take up about the same space, If I recall, Nettamer is smaller...but wwwlx is more modular. -both would run nice on a 2 meg machine.

I had a look at TICKLER but it wasn't the program I saw in my dream. What I remember was called WEEK and displayed a weekly view on the palmtop screen - in a format more like the built-in monthly view but with bigger boxes for just one week. A bit like Psion (what's that?) or Lotus Organizer format. It's more suited to one or two appointments per day with long descriptions, than lots of appointments with short descriptions. For example: +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ !Monday !Thursday ! !* Wife's birthday ! ! !1pm Take secretary to lunch ! ! +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ !Tuesday !Friday ! ! ! ! ! ! ! +----------------------------------+----------------+----------------+ !Wednesday !Saturday !Sunday ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! +----------------------------------+----------------+----------------+ Does this ring any bells with anybody? Or if not, who wants to program it?! I'd find this very useful, 'cos with the limited overview of the week I tend to work by making a print of the month - this uses a font small enough to get loads of info into a small box (landscape printed) and I can see what's coming. (Incidentally, I have never been able to include the Location field when printing. Even Tickler didn't include it, and it's an irritation to see from the print of the month that you have Lunch somewhere but it doesn't say where... Have I missed something?)

Depends on your apps. Stock 200LX's should have these in c:\_dat : setup.env readonly alarm.q readonly, hidden (alarms for Appt app) ccmail.env readonly (if you use ccMail) People running the T2T emm driver would have c:\tremm.swp as readonly/system/hidden. My full backups at night use the pkzip command: pkzip -rp -whs -Jhrs -xtremm.swp a:\_bak\cdrive c:\*.* which backs up the entire C drive, skipping the emm swap file (to answer part of your next question). -rp recurses subdirectories and stores the pathnames -whs includes hidden,system files -Jhrs turns off the mask for hidden/system/readonly files (but don't ask me what that means) -xtremm.swp skips processing for the 'tremm.swp' file, which is the emm swap file I use. On a restore, I delete any file remnants on C, then pkunzip using: pkunzip -d -Jhrs -o a:\_bak\cdrive.zip and run the "instemm 64" command to rebuild a new swap file. > I am also curious: if you run a full backup from the Appointment book > I assume that the HP shells to DOS to accomplish this.

Shelling to DOS from SysMgr doesn't create a swap file, unless you're using MaxDOS. Standard shelling (Ctrl-123) just creates a "bubble" DOS environment inside SysMgr's own environment, so there's no swapping involved. I run the backup from the Appt app which invokes a macro to close all apps, then runs the backup from MaxDos which does use a swap file during the execution, but which is excluded using the pkzip option mentioned above. - 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, 6 May 1998 09:33:28 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Al Kind Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Al Kind Subject: Fwd: HPLX-L: error report from PRYSM.NET MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable --- begin of forwarded message --- > On 1998-05-01 melancon@PRYSM.NET said to epadin@wagweb.com > >David, > >I'm copying this reply to the group in case anybody else is > >confused.

It'd be like those "features matrix" that checks off all the advantages of the advertiser's product while omitting (oh, we didn't know they could do that!) the other products' features not supported by the advertiser. I would much prefer someone other than a vendor put this together. Now to avoid making this a useless rant, here's my 2 cents... I use NetTamer 1.08pt for most of my email (substantial) and some newgroups (very light use), and I'd have to agree that its documentation and interface had been a rite of passage of sorts for me and others, but it's quick and easy to use on a regular basis once you get it going. I run it daily on my regular speed 2mb 200LX, in addition to my 2x/6mb...both are acceptable and I'd have to think it be OK on a 1mb 100LX, tho I could see where you'd be cramped for space. I also use ccMail, since I have a 200LX, but the original poster had a 100LX, so this may not be an option which is a shame since it's built-in for 200LX users and is a very well integrated email app. I can't comment on WWW/LX nor GP, since I haven't tried either, nor have any immediate plans to do so. I do a lot of email on my Unix server also, and use Datacomm/Pine for that. I wouldn't look at yet another email handler unless there was something really compelling for me, which I haven't heard yet. Everyone's situation is different and I respect that. - 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, 6 May 1998 10:13:58 EDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Agentrapid Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Agentrapid Subject: Re: tides 404 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit latest version of a tide prediction program is at ftp.std.com/ftp/pub/wallner works on 200lx dos, windows95, and only $15 to register after trial, author will send a custom disk for your area if you request.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sorry to bring this up to the list again. I know we've discussed PCMCIA modems before. But I'm wondering if someone would want to start a FAQ on acceptable modems for the HPLX? This would be tremendously helpful in deciding what to purchase and what will work. I've tried a US Robotics 33.6K PCMCIA modem on my HP200LX and I believe that it is drawing too much power. I can't get it to initialize and work with WWW/LX. So which ones will work? I also remember some discussion on inexpensive (read _cheap_) 14.4K modems that are on the resale market. I've found that none of the retail outlets carry them. As soon as the newest, fastest, latest stuff comes out.....the old ones are returned to vendor (RTV) and, apparently sold at bargin basement, clearance prices to someone who then resells them. I'm wondering what the 28.8K PCMCIA modems are going for these days? Since the 33.6 and 56.6 modems are out, the 28.8 modems should be dropping in price. Any good prices seen yet for these "old" modems? Any good places to go to buy either a 14.4K or a 28.8K PCMCIA modem?

Well, I don't have much interest in working on a FAQ, but I can share my experience. My first attempt was a 56k USR modem in a Compaq C140. It would shut down the unit in a matter of minutes. Fortunately, Officemax took it back and refunded my money. Subsequently I sold the Compaq and bought a 200LX. My first modem (purchased via Usenet) was a 9600 Megahertz. Since then I have bought two more Megahertz modems, an XJ1144 and an XJ2144. The three seem to be equivalent in power draw. I can run for nearly an hour with a fresh set of alkalines. With fresh NiCd's I can go well over an hour--once staying logged on to my Unix shell for 1 hour 45 minutes before I got the low battery warning. I'm guessing the NiCd's do better due to lower internal resistance. These modems are reported to draw around 130 mA. The last two modems I found on Ebay. It didn't take a lot of searching and they cost me $20 and $25. The 9600 I think I got for about $16. The 9600 was a bit slow for me (Datacom to a Unix shell) but the 14.4 modems are plenty fast. YMMV.

With increasing frequency, these files become corrupted and don't work. I go to back up files saved to my desktop, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. Yesterday I lost a new database file I had just made. I could not get it back all day, but this morning I was able to bring it up. I turned off the HP200 while in the file, but when I turned it back on and got - ERROR: Cannot open file. However I just tried it again and it works. I went into my notes file and noticed several entries were gone. I tried to open up 2 backup files and neither of them will open. Last week I lost my appointments file. I could not get any of the back up files to work. I used Garlic and it restored most of the files, but then lost that. I have never lost the phone file though, thank God! Is it the flash card rather than the HP? I keep the flash card in the HP all the time. I keep the HP on a little holder on my pickup's dash much of the time (I love that $8 little piece of plastic). A few years ago I kept diskettes in the ashtray of my car and they got corrupted at times. Is my flash card becoming corrupted by the radio or other electronics in the pickup?

There are a few hidden files in the _DAT directory so it may be a good id= ea to backup hidden files as well. To my knowledge, there are no system file= s on C:\ The shell to DOS only allocates the available free memory to the DOS application being run. SysMgr still remains in memory also, so there is n= o swap file created. You will not have a problem with this. The only consideration is whether PKZIP will run in the memory available when shelled to DOS, I believe others on the list do it so maybe someone can help here.

My incentive to do it is very small, since I have a product that does for me what I need. In terms of what "they" have that we not, I find this a ridiculous competition! "They" will always have something "we" do not have, and the reverse is true too "we" will always have something "they" do not have. The point is to build a set of features that your customers want. We concentrate on that. In the beta (approximately 25 people, active DAILY!!) we mentioned Nettamer maybe two-three times during 2.5 years, and I don't recall GP mentioned at all. One of our Beta testers introduced NetTamer to the HPHAND Forum in Compuserve, in fact. But what we build is what we believe is the best combination of features. My last Nettamer experience was with version about 1.03 or such, and NetTamer has moved a lot since, as I understand, so it makes no sense for me to comment. GP I have not tried, and have no opinion.

So when I use pkzip, I use the password encryption (-s option -- pkzip -sPASSWORD). Use at least 6 letters, a combo of lower, upper case, numbers and possibly some punctuation. This makes it quite secure for most intents and purposes. And if you use a BAT file to automate the backup, then put that BAT file (which has the password in it) on the C-drive.

Avi knew that I was biased towards GP and still generously made me the offer, so here are my own true feelings/experiences with WWW/LX & POST/LX. Please remember, everyone has their own opinions and I'm not looking to get flamed. Downloading and installing both WWW/LX & POST/LX was a quite painless event for me, but getting them up & running was another. I'm not a non-technical person and I'll try anything once, but getting the software to work was more difficult than getting GP to run. I did get it working, but it did take some effort on my part. In trying to make a fair comparison to GP, I only asked Avi a couple of questions and tryed to get the rest from the manuals. The first time I ever installed GP, it was without any docs or help. So on the ease of installation and set-up, in my opinion, GP wins. Now for actual operation, POST/LX seemed a bit more confusing to me than GP, especially being a new user of the software. In fact, and I know this sounds horrible, I don't think I ever totally mastered it, but then again, I only used it for a little over a week. A _great_ feature that POST/LX has over GP is it's ability to download/upload newsgroups. In the operation department, for ease of use, I like GP better, but I have to also say POST/LX gets kudos for the newsgroup ability it possess. Both programs offer the ability to add sigantures and I must admit I'm not sure the POST/LX can handle attachments (I didn't try) but I'm sure that it does. As far as user interfaces and display, POST/LX looks _great_. It looks like a built-in application, whereas GP operates in text mode, it's not as pretty as POST/LX, but it's quite functional. I have to give POST/LX the winning ribbon in this department. I really hate to compare WWW/LX POST/LX to 'Goin Postal, as they are both great programs for the LX. I think both have a place in the palmtop marketplace. My personal choice would be GP, although I must say again, I'm very biased. 'Goin Postal just seems easier for me to use, but once again, that's my opinion. I think that if all you need is email access and don't have much room to spare that 'Goin Postal is the way to go. If you want/need newsgroups access and the ability to some web browsing then WWW/LX is the item you need. Although I didn't get the chance to use it during my evaluation with the WWW/LX TCP/IP engine, HV is one heck of a cool program. I kkep it on my 200LX with my Sheriff's Dept page to show off to my friends. It never fails to blow their minds =) Avi, once again, thank you for allowing me to truly evaluate your product. It's an honor to have vendors such as yourself supporting our LX community. WWW/LX with POST/LX is a great system and I'm sure that anyone who tries it will agree. It's great that we LX'ers now truly have a choice in internet connectivity software. Up until the past couple of months, I was using Qua!-lx, which at the time, was a great solution for me, but it was a bit awkward to use, especially for users who aren't comfortable in compiling uqwk on a UNIX box (that is if they have shell access). I encourage everyone on the list to try all of the available software for the LX and make your needs, wants and desires known to the author of the particular software you are using. Competition is good for everyone, especially the end users of the software. Happy palmtopping everyone!

Hi, I had that program, and got it off the old ftp hp95 site (ftp://ftp.eddie.edu). or something like that. It is only for the 95. It is called week.apt ~something like that.

(in fact, when GP development began, > WWW/LX didn't have email) I have a similar attitude, and would add NetTamer to this list. It seems to me that I used the word "competition" a bit loosely. Many of our customers have NetTamer, and probably will now also add GP. In that regard, there seems to be plenty of room in the market. Each of the products specialises in some ways. If anything, the presence of multiple products in this genre, adds credence to our claim that the HP palmtop is a REAL (really REAL) computer :) even though it does not have on it Windows 95! I know this statement is acceptable here, but out there, in W95/WNT land people look around them when I say so, assessing the escape routes, in case I begin to spit and bite, or something :) ... When did you start GP? We published WWW/LX Plus version 1 which had email in May or June 1997. The last release is a major reworking of all components of the product. In fact, if you want to stretch it, PalEdit used to have very limited email capability sometime in October 1996, I believe. I used it quite a bit with macros and all, but it was really not designed as an email system. > > But what we build is what we believe is the best combination > > of features. > > Sorta my same goal - "best combination of *email* features that > I can fit *comfortably on a 1mb LX* and *still keep an intuitive > user interface*".

Our concepts are different and that is good, because it enriches the products, and the customers, our friends, benefit. The "fit in 1mb email can be accomplished with WWW/LX and Post/LX too, but I think our takes a little more space thatn your, but it definitely fits... > I think it would be cool to see some end-user comparisons of > all the email solutions. (I guess this counts as a "Me Too!" :-) Great, I am pleased you "me too!"ed! I am sure Uncle Dave will have zero objection. So what remains is for the good people here to put their minds together and figure out how to do it! I have provided Jeff (who posts extremely well for GP) with a copy of WWW/LX Plus so he can evaluate both. He readily admitted his bias, but was willing to try it anyway. That is fine with me. Avi M.

I am able to say Iv'e used each of these programs. I'll start with = nettamer, as that is the first thing I used. Then I'll do WWWLX, then GP. Nettamer v1.09 & 1.10: The con's: Despite some bashing over the interface, we must realize that this = was written originally for DOS. The user interface is wierd, with the 'choose = a letter from the list' for each function thing, but once I got used to it, = I could navigate around pretty quickly. I found it the most difficult of the three to get going because I had to come up with a script. I say difficult, but = with help from the list and the nettamer newsgroup, it wasn't that bad, and I learned alot. I didn't get alot of satisfaction from the Web browser, but it = worked. Some things didn't line up right... The pro's: The size. I could run it from my 1meg machine. The module for setup = is not needed once you get configured. I forget the exact size, though. The program lacks an editor, but the reader worked well enough, I always enjoyed being able to write my messages with memo. I just made the first three lines of the message then To:, From:, and Subject:, with CC's following that. The body of the text goes later. I found this to be fast, though not a very integrated solution. One is supposed to be able to use = RED as the editor, or invoke ed200, but I couldn't get that to work satisfactorily - maybe I didn't try hard enough. Maybe this a con, = depends on how you look at it. Speed. NT seems to be the fastest retrieving messages - important if calling long distance. The major pro... Offline fetching of stuff. Nettamer will do this = for you. Another way to save time and money. WWW/LX: Pro's: Beautiful, well integrated full featured interface-- as a commercial product should be. Fantastic WEB browser. Handles graphics very nicely thanks to lxpic. Doesnt actually display frames, but doesn't choke either - lets you = choose which one to view. Truly impress your friends. Editor, nicely calls MEMO and red to handle messages, can send = e-mail and do ftp from the browser. Support. Being a commercial product, it gets good support. Avi = answeres promptly, theres only one thing I cant figure out and I'll discuss this under Con's. I think we may solve that one too, though. I haven't used support for the other two programs. Modular construction. Module for the TCP/IP connection, Mail, News, Ftp, Telnet, finger, Setup. This helps to customize space needs. I have = done browsing and mail / news on my 1meg machine. It's a little tight, and = this comes under cons, too. Did I mention Beautiful, well integrated interface? It must be mentioned again. That and HV make this program well worth $89. Cons: I cannot run WWW/LX from my doubleslot. Nettamer and GP allow me to plug flash into one slot, and the modem into the other, and have massive space for everything. This is important for Browsing. At first, Avi suggested that it is a problem with the Doubleslot. I have to get back to him on this, because I have GP and nettamer working with this config. That's it! As much as a pain this one con is, I hope we can solve = it, Avi, there's lots of us with the Doubleslot... This program is The Bomb!! Goin' Postal: Pro's : Interface. Nice and easy. Not a PAL app, but this makes the programme nice and small. Still uses standard menu commands, so it's easy to get = used to. Easy to set up, granted one only has to set up e-mail and nothing = else. I here it has multiple setups, though I havn't the need for that. I think the other progs have that, too. Con's: No newsgroups - yet. I know it's not for that, so sue me. So, I lean towards www/lx overall. Nettamer has the cool timer thing, but = I can do this with a macro, I suppose. GP is small, But if I just want = mail, I can just use those two modules and get it close to the same size. I = really like GP for mail, I'm going to use it some more and see how it grows on = me, it's a nice piece of work. Well, thats all for now...

I have used the USR modem (and still can) with the following: palmtop: (HP null-modem cable) -> (gender change) -> (null adapt) -> USR Recently I built a "straight" HP to DB9 F cable which works well with my Infocom pocket modem and my GPS, and did, at first, work with my USR. Suddenly the USR does not respond to Hayes commands when attached to my custom cable. It does work on my desktop PC (hooked up to a 25-9 adapter, the serial port being driven off the Asus motherboard). It also works on the cable+gender-changer+null adapter. I have checked my cable for shorts using a cheap multitester's resistance gauge, no problems. All pins and the ground check out fine. The only diff, electrically, between my custom cable and the mess of adapters is the "ugly" mess of adapters ends up with pins 1 and 9 (DCD and RING) no longer available at the modem end due to the Radio Shack null adapter (the HP cable passes both). I really don't like the idea of cutting wires 1 and 9 on my painfully soldered cable. Since the USR worked before, I wonder if there's a series of commands I can send it from my desktop to "fix" the problem permanently (such that if I'm travelling and have the USR without power for a while it won't revert to this unusable state).

If it grows bigger, I will do following: * Disassemble the whole palmtop and remove the screen from the plastic cover without removing the spring itself which is located on the right hinge. Once removed- very difficult to get in place again. * Then take a very thin sheet of metal- for example a piece of a Coke can and cut it to a suitable size. * Then use epoxy glue type Araldite in order to glue this thin metal = piece on the inside of the plastic casing. As I said, I have not tried this but it should work and with this kind of reinforcement, a big crack shouldn't appear- I guess... Check first so = you get enough of space when this extra metal is in place so the screen still can fit inside the plastics.

(Other than not using the > machine itself!!) Well, don't do what I did: ignore it! I noticed a hinge crack after using my HP100LX/1MB for over a year, and within three weeks of noticing it, the hinge disintegrated and the system is virtually unusable. If you noice it, fix it immediately. FYI, if you don't want to risk the repair yourself or have a unit with an ugly patch, you might consider having HP service the unit out-of-warranty. I checked this out, and for my machine they charge a flat $175 fee for "service". This really means they do a complete refurbish job, replacing lost or broken parts, and if necessary replacing the whole unit with another "from the same year". (Does HP really stock old units for the purpose of replacing service units?) Of course, back up your system before sending it in, because they may lobotomize it. To pursue this option, call HP at 970/635-1000, and/or mail your unit to: Hewlett-Packard Corp, Corvallis Service Center 1030 NE Circle Blvd, Bldg #11 Corvallis, OR 97330 (BTW, I have no connection with HP, and cannot recommend for or against HP's service option.) -------------------------------------------------------------- Opinions herein are exclusively my own, unless you share them.

WWW/LX has so many features that I still, after many weeks usage, find new nice features to use. Don't hesitate- Try It!

Therefor for the most part, the palmtop rebuild was from scratch for the programs I keep on it.

I went through a similar problem on my HP 200 LX and actually sent out an almost identical SOS. I was getting 2-3 hours on rechargeables! Mack Baggette suggested something and I did it in desperation and it seems to have worked. In desperation, because it is drastic! 1 Back up ALL your software from the LX. 2 Reset the LX by removing BOTH batteries (this eliminated your C drive!!!) 3 Leave the HP off with no batteries and unattached to AC for at least 24 hours. The LX is dead for 24+ hours. 4 Restart it and restore your software. Don't understand why, but it worked for me. (Baggette suggested that sometimes this drop in battery usage happens when the motherboard is going bad. Fortunately that was not my problem - I hope.) Another problem that has been mentioned here but not publicised enough is the troubles caused by moving your HP contents from a 100 LX to a 200 LX. I know because I had these problems and could not figure them out for a whole year. Some of the problems envolved BUDDY. When you just move your 100LX contents to the 200 LX, you also move the BUDDY.env file which has been setup for the old 100LX. This is apparently not correct for the 200LX. In my case double clicking on *.GDB files would open the database BUT not load the *.gdb file I double clicked on. Filer.ini worked fine for all the other double clicked files, but would not work for the database because it apparently could not find or change the db.env file. It would work fine if buddy was unloaded (Ctrl -) but not with Buddy loaded. Drove me crazy! Solution: delete your BUDDY.ENV file (actually move it elsewhere from c:_dat) and buddy will create a new one for the 200 LX and you can then re-customize your Buddy. I believe, without not being sure, that this also played a role in the rapid battery usage. Maybe someone more knowledgeable could expand on this and other similar problems.

In the past, when I wanted to look for something on SIMTEL online, I did a search, and the various search engines usually returned this URL: http://ftp.coast.net/Coast/. Well, when I went there today, they had this message posted: "Due to Coast to Coast's rapid growth, we are currently redesigning our website to bring you the latest products and information. One change you'll notice is the elimination of our Software Repository page." I obviously came to the wrong conclusion, as I have been given some good URLs that also point to different SIMTEL archives. Perhaps someone could explain exactly what SIMTEL is and the relationship between SIMTEL and these multiple SIMTEL archives sites. > What does PASTE do?

Really - I had written these popup textbox subroutines for a distributed BASIC application I was writing (the network was pre-ethernet and ran on video backup boards). I had totally different names for the operations I was doing to handle asyncronous network events and changing the keyboard between popups these events triggered - but when I started reading about programming in Windows I smacked myself on the forehead. Anyway, it turned out to be an awesome way to write BASIC code driven by asynchronous network activity. Tomorrow I'm going to start working on this neat concept for a thing with four wheels that is powered by burning oil products :-) I've been doing this too long I think. :-) One of my early projects was taking an Intel 8085 design kit and generating amateur radio slow-scan TV patterns using nothing but timing loops to generate the proper tones from a parallel port pin. Now that the old 8-second black & white format is all but dead, I'm starting to toy with the idea of rejuvinating it on the HP (maybe including a Connectix Quickcam!). Took me 10 minutes to code an app that generated the tones in C, on the 8085 it took me two days with pencil, paper, and a 8085 opcode card (and this time, I didn't even count instruction cycles!). Still have the 8085, wish I could find that paper! -------------------------------------------- ***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, 7 May 1998 18:53:18 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jeff Johns Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jeff Johns Subject: GP vs WWW/LX Plus I posted a message yesterday evening about my experiences using both 'goin Postal and forgot to mention a couple og things.

A COPY of an abandoned program is not a commodoty like money or cars. Taking a copy of software, albeit "owned" by the programmer/company, is not taking the original software. Yes, it is illegal, but its effects are not comparable to stealing a car or money, which are finite in quantity. How is the owner out anything, especially when they don't sell it?

Were you under the impression that Microsoft only "owns" the original copy of Windows 95? And "just sells copies"? You're wrong. Microsoft _sells_ a license to USE a copy of their software.

I have a question that some of the more legally-experienced people on the list might be able to answer with regard to the "abandonware" thread: when a person obtains an illegal copy of a software program, who is at fault-- the person making the copy available, or the person who downloads/receives a disk/whatever and uses it? Because it seems to me that, were somebody stupid, they could use the "backup copy" clause in almost every software license agreement to distribute pirate copies of software and get away with it. Something like this: Panel of federal judges: Isn't it true, Mr. Jones, that you posted a copy of "Microsoft Publisher 98" up on your web site for people to download? Jones: No, I was just making a backup copy like it says I can, here in the license agreement. And it happened to be on a web-accessible part of my computer. Panel of federal judges: ... Oh. Hmm. Of course, in reality I doubt this would hold up. But does anybody have any real data? Who is responsible for software piracy in this case? Any ideas? Perhaps this is a thread that should be continued off the list...?

I contacted the company that produced the software and the DOS version was no longer available. The representative from the company suggested I quietly make copies for the list member in need. The official company policy stated this action was taboo but the unofficial response was to make the software available. The bottom line is that experience with the discontinued DOS version might lead to the eventual purchase of the latest Windoze version. I should also note that the company representative felt that the customer's need, which they could no longer fill, should be met through an alternative approach. It would be nice if all software companies had such a constructive attitude. BTW, I don't feel like a criminal. I make it a point to pay for all of the software I use. The only conscious crime I commit is exceeding the maximum speed which I do regularly when safe conditions permit.

I think you are playing a semantic game with the words. There is no such thing a abandoned software except in the convenience of your own mind. When some big company (or little) takes you to taks on this you will have to make even more gymnastics you did here. Let's cut through all the bull: This copy does not belong to you, it belongs to someone else. If they want to stop selling _their_ software you have no standing whatsoever in this decision - plainly speaking it is none of your business! If you decide to let your car rot, despite people wanting to buy it from you - for whatever reasons - it is totally, and entirely _your_ decision. That some company made a decision about their software is entirely _their_ business, and you have ZERO to say about it. So for you to take this property, that is not yours, and give it to others has only one description: You take something that is not yours away from someone who owns it and should have all the rights to do with it as _they_ please, not as _you_ please. In my dictionaries, the concensus is that this action is stealing. All your mental gymnastics are great, but they boil to one thing, a lame rationalization! It is like saying, "Gee Judge, it was not me stealing, it was my arm!" Give us all a break, don't insult our intelligence. You want to do what you do, don't expect to get a great big welcome in most places, although you clearly have a few people who lost their brains and ethics. > Yeah, it meets the *fanatic's* definition of "stealing" but then, using > your company's e-mail and phone is also stealing... It would be a stunning achievement for you if you knew what the heck you are talking about! In this case, my company phone and email are used to promote the interest of our company, not to idly blab semantic gymnastics! It is my wish that someone does to you what you do to others. Perhaps then you would start to develop some sense of ethics. Avi M.

I did not know Rod was doing this! Interesting. LXTCP version 0.8 can be found at my web site (listed below). It is a command-line only TCP/IP development kit for the HP200LX series based on the free WatTCP DOS TCP library. It includes Ping, FTP, STMP, POP and NNTP clients. It cooperates with the Palmtop News Reader (get version 2.2 from my web site). It allows you to use MSKermit for telnet sessions. As Neil pointed out, it's severely lacking on documentation at the moment (you really need to download the source distribution to get the real information), but there are a number of people who use it daily for HP200LX connectivity. Due to the lack of documentation, it is not a program for newbies. The thing that differentiates LXTCP from all other TCP/IP connectivity solutions for the HP200LX that I know about (including WWW/LX, Goin' Postal and Nettamer) is that LXTCP also works over a direct ethernet connection (David Sargeant found this out for me), and you get the source code so you can change and recompile it on your palmtop. In fact, last month I received (via LXPOP) and read (with PNR) a bug report for the NNTP client (LXNNTP), then fixed the bug (using MEMO), recompiled (using Turbo C++ 2.0) and retested (in DOS, via Software Carousel) the new version of LXNNTP, and sent the new version (via LXPOP) back to the person who reported the bug all whilst dialed up over a 14.4k line (MegaHertz XJ2144) _on_batteries_ (Eveready Lithium) in an airport terminal in Los Angeles (which is over 7000km from where I usually develop software). Try doing that with anything other than a HP200LX! Note that LXTCP is *not* for the user-interface oriented. It is a set of command-line programs and will stay that way. The Palmtop News Reader provides the user interface for Mail and News. Avi & Steven - Feel free to use any ideas you can get from LXTCP to make WWW/LX and GP better products. BTW, I'm not in competition with anyone, because I release all the source code for my programs as my contribution back to the HP200LX community. I encourage all others who are not relying on HP200LX product sales for their living to do the same, but at the same time I respect the right of HP200LX product vendors to price their products as they see fit.

If you're talking about the OmniGo 100/120, I own one: It's a nice machine, but (compared to the 200LX): 1- The screen is smaller, but pen driven. 2- Has a quite complete keyboard (unlike the PalmPilot-type machines). 3- Runs GEOS, on top of a stripped down DOS 3.3. DOS mode is difficult to get and not very usable with a 30x30 screen. 3- My machine is much more power hungry than my 2x HP200LX. 4- Has no external power plug, and thus cannot charge batteries. I would say that it is a very nice machine, but the fact is that if you want a pen based machine, with just PDA functionality, a PalmPilot (for example) will be much lighter and powerful. > I have a friend who is interested in a PDA "like" my 100lx but up to > only ~$200.

Since some time, I have the idea of writing an Internet telephone client for the palmtop. The client should be able to handle WAV files with respect to: -record -send -receive -plav A simple procedure could be: 1:connect to another user, equipped with the same software 2:record a WAV file or open a local stored WAV file 3:send it to the other side 4:wait for the answer (WAV file from the other side) 5:output the answer to the internal speaker 6:loop 2: My problem is step 1: How can I connect to someone else, who's email address I know? (and who has to be online indeed) The ideal input device for voice on the palmtop is the MIKE unit, matchbox sized, connected to the serial port of the palmtop and described in VOICE.ZIP on s.u.p.e.r. Without an input device, this software would only be a toy. About a week ago, I asked already if someone can make such a unit available to me, in order to write the recording part of the software. But no response :( I wrote a similar software in 1988 for an input device, connected to the parallel port of a desktop. So I know, what I'm talking about. Everything can be done in real time and in *VERY* little code. WAV might not be the appropriate format, because it tends to produce large files. I could switch to a slightly worse quality delta modulated recording and playback, resulting in 1/8 of the WAV filesize. A typical delta modulated data chunk of 20KB would allow 10 seconds of recording/playback. A sufficient amount of time to say a complete sentence, and still a reasonable filesize, to send through the net. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 8 May 1998 21:58:37 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Steven English Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Steven English Subject: Starting Filer from a DOS prompt MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > Is there a auto-execute file available when starting System Manager > that would place me into Filer? The program "Buddy" can do this by optionally running a boot up macro which can be tailored to run any of the inbuilt applications in whatever order you wish. I use it to open my three most used macro sets & then leave me at the Application Manager screen. It really is a very useful program.

If so- that's your problem, not the programming language. I have successfully done programming with the = serial port using Basic and C- but as soon as I use a double speed unit- the = code will not work.

What is 'legal' and not 'legal' isn't always clearcut. Of course no one has hired me to give a legal opinion (and don't rely on these posts without actually getting real advice) but since I teach a class on Antitrust and Misuse Aspects of Intellectual Property, I'll take the liberty of giving you an academic perspective. You can form your own opinion. Software licenses exist based on (mainly) the copyright laws. The copyright laws have a "fair use" defense. You need to follow the shrink wrap license or send the software back for a refund, but may have some additional rights. It is probably clear you can, for example, keep a backup copy. It may be permissable to copy portions for scholarly, scientific or commentary purposes. If you want to criticize Microsoft, you can probably copy something to use as an example. This is consistent with free speech. This does not, however, necessarily permit redistribution of software. Let's consider something else, however. Copyright law can be misused to violate the antitrust laws. Just as the movie studios were acting illegally when they forced TV stations to take package licenses, (if you wanted "Casablanca" in the '60's you had to take "Gorilla Man") someone who has monopoly power cannot necessarily get away with whatever they want. Suppose, for example, that you had a copy of Windows 95 that came illegally bundled with Internet Explorer. This might be a copy regarding which Microsoft could not exact a royalty, until it purges itself of an antitrust violation. When I say "may" or "might" be sure you pay attention. Of course, contrary arguments exist. Microsoft argues IE+Win is a single product, not a tie in. If they win, it's a good defense. Similarly, the illegal act of the software author has to be connected to the software regarding which there is misuse. Another example was a software license that went on for 100 years. This was an unenforceable license because the copyright only lasted for 75 years. The royalties went on after the work would be in the public domain, so the license was illegal. The situation discussed here might not be a situation of either fair use or of misuse by the copyright owner, but these are kind of a different perspective. I'm not saying what anyone did is legal or illegal. The situation doesn't involve a bright line, border, it's more of a fuzzy gray band. If you have specific questions, a more confidential means of communication would be a good idea. Jorgen Wallgren wrote: > Hi There, > > > On Wed, 6 May 1998, Nicholas Chan wrote: > > > > > 1.)

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Hi, I just read my own post and realized I should be a little more clear. I use keystuff to place keystrokes in the keyboard buffer so that things happen automagically. For example: I can put the keys Ý2¨ Ý0¨ Ý0¨ ÝENTER¨ ÝFiler¨ and it would be as iff I typed 200 at the dos prompt and press ÝFiler¨ to run filer. Remember that you may have to "press" ÝFiler¨ twice if you use the "filer closed on startup" trick. I use this method to open sysmgr, close filer completely, close sysmgr and launch pocket launcher. I do this from a batch file that also launches moreexm and exkey before launching sysmgr. -----Original Message----- From: Edward A.

It does work well with the palmtop, but as mentioned by others, the interface isn't exactly intuitive 8-) I had little trouble setting it up, or coming up with a login script. Mail works well (the red.com editor is included). It can also be set up to use your choice of editor. I also used it with PE. The browser supports graphics, but the versions I tried had only one font (that my aging eyeballs found a little difficult to read). Don't think graphics could be turned off for speed, but I could be wrong. Overall NT is a nice internet suite for the palmtops. My choice has been WWW/LX since it first became available. Upgraded to the -Plus version (with Post/LX) last year, and upgraded again to the new version. This costs more than NT ($89 vs $30 or is it $35 now?), but IMHO WWW/LX is well worth it. You get email (can be set up to automatically sort into folders; download headers only; set size limit for DL etc), Another very cool email feature is the ability to highlight a web page address, and launch HV to go there! Newsgroups with subject filters to limit DLs to your interests, & reject other stuff. Web browsing with HV includes graphics (can be disabled for speed - it really FLIES this way). The current version works with Stefan Peichl's LXPIC to handle both GIF & JPG inline images. Works with frames (but doesn't show them). HV also does FTP, and a telnet client is available. Multiple fonts are provided, and if you can get a copy of PFE, you can create your own. (I have a set that includes big fonts for h1 & h2 headers). BTW - check out D&A's page. As of this morning, there are new versions of Post/LX and HV, plus the Finger client app. (No, I'm not connected to D&A - just a satisfied customer) -PR ------------ -------------------------------------------- ***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, 8 May 1998 17:34:33 GMT Reply-To: neil@skipper.nu Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Neil Tungate Subject: Re: WWW/lx, Goin' Postal vs Nettamer Comments: To: sponsor@FTEL.NET In-Reply-To: <199805072204.PAA19810@ftel.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Thu, 7 May 1998 15:04:16 -0700, A.

Perhaps the crusades WILL come back in style. I think that there is room for a free exchange of ideas. AND I also believe that anyone can state their opinion about an issue as long as they don't state that something that is illegal IS legal. There are always gray areas in the law as well as the interpretation of the law. Why else would there be courts to argue certain points of the law? Why does the Supreme Court exist, but to decide upon interpretation of the law and the constitution? Software copyright laws have changed and are continuing to change. I believe that any law can be challenged if it does not apply to today's situation. Software laws may need to be changed with regards to "out of date" software. Copyrights exist for 75 years. Just as patents become freely accessible property after a certain period of time (which is how generic drugs come onto the market), perhaps the copyright laws with regard to software need to be changed. I do believe that laws need to be made that are in the general interest of the public, while still protecting the company or investor. It's been generally accepted that non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in the high tech industry are only typically valid for a period of time that lasts from 3 to 5 years. After that, the information is so old, that it has lost it's intrinsic value. I believe that it's time for the software industry to catch up and to offer "old" software to the general public for little or no charge, with the understanding that _it_is_NOT_supported! Buyer beware! At least this may be a fair trade for all of the disclaimers that are included with new software, only to find that it has a million bugs that are to be found by the unsuspecting consumer.

This >idea< is nice because it makes sure all of the balances & transactions are in sync. I tried this but Xlate/Merge expect to see an older format data file (.QDT) than Quicken v6 uses (.QDB). So I'm stuck with writing a text file (.QIF) for each account, transferring them all and then hoping/manually checking the balances. I get the idea that the HP connectivity pack is >many< years old...

If you're talking about the OmniGo 100/120, I own one: It's a nice machine, but (compared to the 200LX): 1- The screen is smaller, but pen driven. 2- Has a quite complete keyboard (unlike the PalmPilot-type machines). 3- Runs GEOS, on top of a stripped down DOS 3.3. DOS mode is difficult to get and not very usable with a 30x30 screen. 3- My machine is much more power hungry than my 2x HP200LX. 4- Has no external power plug, and thus cannot charge batteries. I would say that it is a very nice machine, but the fact is that if you want a pen based machine, with just PDA functionality, a PalmPilot (for example) will be much lighter and powerful. > I have a friend who is interested in a PDA "like" my 100lx but up to > only ~$200.

I have the following problem. It does not create an .ID file, so everytime I log on, it downloads every message in the mailbox - even those previously downloaded. I do not want to delete the messages because I share the mailbox with someone else. I am sure the Sprynet protocol must be very similar to the POP account for CIS accounts which I am sure some people here must have. I have upgraded to 2.0b with no change. The download header option also does not work with my Sprynet account. The download headers option also does not work. Everything does work with my mailbox set up for another POP3 account. While we're comparing features between the different internet solutions for the HP, one thing that fustrates me with POST, is the fact that if you have POST set up to use multiple accounts (and a USENET group), and it times-out with one of the servers while trying to connect - it aborts the whole run, and does not attempt to try the next mailbox. I have also noticed a tendency when on the web with HV that if I can't connect to a site in a decent time, it ruins my ability to connect with any site thereafter. I have to tell HV to disconnect, and then reconnect- which wastes time and batteries. That being said I moved to WWW/LX after first trying Nettamer - enough said about the user interface, and the browser was too primitive - couldn't handle frames, drop-down lists, etc. I then went to GP - which was excellent, but unusable for me because I had the need to leave messages on the server. I am so far very satisfied with WWW/LX (other than the problems mentioned earlier).

This is one of it's functions. One that I use it almost exclusively for, personally. > Can I run the programs in the system manager on the PC screen? Can I > type memos directly into the 200lx using my PC keyboard? No, if I understand your question. However, the CPACK *does* provide versions of many of the 200LX built-in system manager apps for you to run on the PC. For example, you start CPACK on your desktop, and it looks just like system manager on your palmtop. To transfer files, you open FILER on both machines and start sending them back and forth. A third useful feature for some is the ability to transfer and merge databases, such as phone and appointment books files, to and from your palmtop. This has been especially useful for me with the Quicken files. > I also learned that the connectivity pac only runs on my PC in DOS > mode.

So, how then does one go about learning (or relearning) all the > unintelligible DOS commands? (yea - all those colons, dots, and > stars!!) Is there a thick users guide to assist using DOS commands? Well, yes, CPACK runs in DOS mode, but it is a "graphical-like" application, just like the real sys-mgr on the palmtop. It just runs in DOS mode, and in my case, always in full screen mode as well (I have heard others who have succeeded in getting it to run in windowed screens). I have setup ICONS on my desktop, both on Windows 95 system at home and a Windows NT 4.0 system at work. Works just fine - I don't have to enter any commands on the command line at all. (For me, this is more of a curse than a blessing, since I *love* CLIs, and *hate* GUIs, but in your case it is a benefit). > I might get a connectivity pac if I knew what the dang thing could do. I hope I have begun to explain what it can do. Feel free to write if you have more specific questions. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

Jared: Your comments are most interesting. I have used Quicken in this way, just as you described, for several years now. I use version 7 of Quicken, which I picked up for sale at a computer store a few years ago while on a business trip. It uses the appropriate files (.QDT), and I have never had to go through the gyrations you mentioned.

The Connectivity Pack is "OLD" software and has some drawbacks, like it runs in a >simulated< 640x200 box in 640x480 This means a >letterbox< style screen. You can use it to run the Appointment Book app and read your palmtop files on the desktop (or laptop/notebook) and you can run the Phone Book, Database & Notetaker. Memo is there too. Quicken and Lotus 123 are not included, but the Connectivity Pack has a utility called Xlate, to convert/merge/update Pocket Quicken to/from Desktop Quicken (if you own this) The Xlate app is worth the price of the Connectivity Pack as it allows you to import comma-delimited files into your Palmtop database and Notetaker and Phone listings. Also, modifying a large dataset is generally faster on the desktop with the Connectivity Pack than on the palmtop. One udf is the ability to run PAL apps on the desktop, like HV or Solitaire! They are 640x200, but they sure run fast! There are free/shareware apps (on super) to import/export databases but the Connectivity Pack sure is a lot easier to set up, especially for multiple, repetitive jobs. It has a backup routine and a laplink app and rudimentary Windows 3.1x apps, but these are not much chop. Using the laplink will have you brewing too much coffee as you wait for the files to "Pass-Over" so I would reccomend something spritely like Fast Lynx FX 2.0 if you are going to use a cable to backup and transfer files, but would reccomend a PC card reader as the "Must-Have/Must-Buy". These are really great! The speed is fabulous! Of course, a PC card reader is only usefull if you have a PCMCIA card for your palmtop, and beleive me, you will NEVER regret getting one! Aim for the biggest you can afford, then borrow some money and get the next bigger size! You mentioned using the PC keyboard, you can use the C/pack to write into the apps on the desktop & then transfer the files, or you can get remcom from super and type on the PC keyboard directly into the Palmtop! Kewl! The C/Pack will run in Win 95, you double-click app200.pif or drag it to the desktop or give it a hot-key short-cut or however you like to drive 95. It needs to run full-screen as it controls the video output. You will have no end of trouble connecting via this in 95, so either go for FX 2.0 or a PC card reader. You can even run multiple versions, but no cut 'n paste between!

Using the CTTY command and a terminal, or your desktop running a terminal emulator, you can do a lot of serious work on your palmtop without having to shuffle files back and forth. So far, the ELVIS editor is the only one that can properly deal with the CTTY command, but all normal DOS command-line programs work well. Yet one more way to use your palmtop. > The C/Pack will run in Win 95, you double-click app200.pif or > drag it to the desktop or give it a hot-key short-cut or however > you like to drive 95.

I have never had any trouble at all connecting to my palmtop, either from windows 95 nor NT! Perhaps this has to do with the connectivity method. I have never used the lap link method - I have always used FILER. It is simple, painless, and so far has worked on DOS, Win 3.1, 95 and NT with no problems.

Ultimately, it boils down to that: If the connection is bad, which causes WWW.EXE (this is the program that does that part of the brainwork!), there is little that the program can do to _fix_ it. There are some limited things, and the code required for these partial and limited things is very very large! So the choice was: smaller, and just rerun, or blobbycode, and only partial success. We chose the first, but it was war! (I was on the same side as you, BTW, :) but I convinced by the rality of the implications of the alternatives.) Thanks for the feedback! Avi M.

Well, what a frame is doing is basically taking two or more HTML docs and displays them on one screen. The CGA screen is a lousy place to do it, it is just too small! So, HV renders the frames like so: It uses the Frameset tag which contains in it the names of the HTML documents to be displayed. HV creates a page on your screen with a link to each of the HTML documents it finds in the FRAMESET, so you can go to see each of the items that makes up a frame! > HV also does FTP, and a telnet > client is available.

Yes, definitely. The minimum set is much much smaller. Forwxample, you can get rid of the font files for HV, but it looks ugly. The documentation is what 100K+?

The C/pack filer will work in Dos, 95 and if you and others say NT, then I guess it will there, too. What I was trying/going to say was that it is not very efficient, speed-wise. Filer seems to copy one file at a time and then verify it's correctness of transfer(?) and then go for the next file & verify that etc, etc. If you have a lot of small files in subdirectories this can be pretty tiresome! Fast Lynx will copy the same files and their directory structure in a fraction of the time. It appears to use memory like good old xcopy found in dos, ie: squeeze as many files as will fit into memory and then write them to the destination.

It's a pretty powerful piece of software, but like you said, it needs a 386 and several megs of extended memory nowadays.

Yeah, it is done to save power, but it can be bypassed. Buddy can do it, and a few others as well. There's a tiny utility called "sleep.com" that you can put in a batch file with the program you want to run faster. It's a toggle - running it once turns off light sleep, running it again turns it back on. This is what I use to launch VDE. @ECHO OFF MODE COM1 96,N,8,1,P --> SLEEP.COM VDE.EXE --> SLEEP.COM BTW - if you disable light sleep, the auto shut off timer is also disabled. Your palmtop won't shut itself off! Look on the SUPER site for Buddy, Sleep, or Lxstat. These will all let you turn light sleep on or off.

I have the manual which contains a lot of examples of ideas for using InfoSelect but I find "independent" articles are always a source of good ideas as they come from real experience. I use IS on a daily basis now. I use it to capture random information I pick up during the course of the day as a Technical Manager for Kimberly Clark. I get a ton of info flying across my desk (from 2 e-mail systems, faxes, letters, phone calls, reports, reading etc) and I find it's a great piece of software for capturing random info. The notetaker, database etc on the 200LX is too "structured" for me although I do use the HP200LX appointment book and to do. I also use it for ideas as well as a bunch of other things. My only gripe is the small HP200LX screen makes the text really hard to read. Using zoom (Fn + space) but you have to scroll around the screen with the menu plus arrow keys and you only get to see one window at a time.

I'm going to give you people a chance to buy it for (about) what it will cost me to ship it..... Pricing: 10$ per item if you buy one item. 10$ for the first, 5$ for each additional item if you buy more or 20$ for all four, if one person buys it all. 1. MS Word 3.0 for DOS (opened but complete as far as I can tell) This is the old microsoft binder, with disks and manual all in one grey binder. 5 1/2" disks. 2. MS Word (Unopened, in shrink wrap) Appears to be just like the version above (ie, word 3.0) it's some version of word, and I assume because it looks just like the other one, that it's 3.0 as well. 3. Lotus 123 box set. A bookcase box which has the Tutorial, Reference Manual, Getting started book, and disks. Disks are 5 1/2" and there are six of them. The disks say "Release 2" but there is absolutely no other version markings on the 123 pacage that I can find. (it also includes a function key "map" out of plastic which would just about fit on the Hp200lx ;>) And the piece de resistance.... 4. A FORD modem. Yes, right on the front of this modem (aprox: 12x8x4) is the Ford emblem and "Dealer computer services". The number "224" is on the front, so I *ass*ume that it's a 2400 BPS unit. It comes with a standard RS-232 looking DB25 male adaptor on the cable that comes out of it. Anyways, I realize that none of this stuff has any real VALUE...so unless somebody wants to pay me to ship it to them I will be throwing it out at the end of the week. If you do want it, send me your address and I'll send it to you with a SASE for return of payment. Jay W.

In our previous iteration, we brought into the Beta "fresh meat" late in the game. Several people who have actually never been on the internet, at least not using palmtops. And we just threw them in.

I would be interested in knowing this, also, since my present usable hours (with Mack's super batteries) is quite short: full charge to 2.40 in 4 hours; full to 2.50 in 1.5 hours (numbers compliments of BATTLOG). I have Buddy; serial port is locked OFF; lite sleep is ON. > I did an initialization of ram disk and someone else posted removing the > batteries for 24 hours to fully reset the machine. Afterwards the > batteries lasted a normal time..... The alternate version of this technique I read about is to backup; remove all batteries, and hold the button down for 5 minutes. I did this with no change in battery life. I have an EXP LXM-8 card that is always in, although recently I have sometimes removed it to see if that made a perceptible difference in battery time; it did NOT. All modem sessions with it are done using AC power. I am going to try going back to my original Shier Systems NiMH batteries and see if they act different than the Mack batteries. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jim Saklad mailto:jimdoc@iname.com -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 10 May 1998 21:41:05 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , MICHAEL K RILEY Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: MICHAEL K RILEY Subject: ibm 5meg. ata flash card FS MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII 55.00 plus shipping. cleaning out closet. thanks mike -------------------------------------------- ***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, 10 May 1998 20:41:24 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Mike Goggin Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mike Goggin Subject: Re: Prioritized Alarm Sounds MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > > > I thought I read about some software that would allow you to play > > > different alarm sounds for different appointments... > > > > It's called PAT.ZIP.

In DOS, the serial/IR port can be turned off with the SERCTL command. (Works just like on the 200LX I think.) Use SERCTL /O to turn it off. SERCTL /I to turn the IR port on in DOS. SERCTL /W to turn the serial port on in DOS. In the SystemManager, the only way I can think of is to use Buddy95. In case you don't know, Buddy is a great shareware tool for improving the LX-series. It has enhanced macro support, enhanced keyboard facitilies, etc. Great on the 200LX, but essential on the 95LX. The archive of 95LX software is at: http://eddie.mit.edu/ftp/pub/hp95lx You can find Buddy here, although it is also availiable from the author's homepage I think. The URL escapes me, though.

An excellent shareware clone of Norton Commander called Volkov Commander is availiable from SUPER (www.palmtop.net). It works just great on the LX and installs in ~200kb. One word of warning, though: don't use it in any of the zoom modes (ie only use it in 80x25) or it will behave oddly. Other than that no problems, I have it on my LX and use it occasionally.

Is there any advantage to using the Windows version of Quicken? I have been reasonably pleased with this version 7 DOS of the program, but then again, maybe there are some real nifty features that I "need" and just don't know about!?!? However, on the down side, I have occassionally heard comments like this one discussing the trouble with file formats. Are these insurmountable problems, or just minor inconveniences?

I noted that SuperGlue does not melt scotch tape, so if you covered the area with scotch tape then cut along the crack with an X-Acto knife, you could get the glue in the crack while minimizing the damage to the visible part of the case. I was honored to have this tim enter the FAQ. The crack in my palmtop opened up again, so I tried the same trick. thankfully, I retested my trick on a piece of scotch tape first. Apparently, the Radio Shack version of SuperGlue _DOES_ dissolve scotch tape. Fortunately, it did it slow enough that I could still use my technique, but I had to remove the scotch tape right away. So test you glue/tape combo away from your precious baby before you try to patch the crack. ------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer dskramer@concentric.net DK KD http://start.at/david.kramer DKK D DK KD "Yes, the nerds are winning.

Perhaps quicken for DOS still uses .QDT files, but the windows version does not. The 200lx manual, however strongly advises buying the Cpack. What it should do instead is point you to the Intuit web site which is much more up to date. 2) Pocket quicken connect is a very fast, easy way to upload transactions and download balances and make sure things reconcile. Base-PC transactions, however aren't downloaded. Check out www.quicken.com. 3) Possibly most interesting... The person I ordered from at Intuit said ***Pocket quicken connect will be discontinued in '99** She wasn't clear on if it would be replaced (doubtful) or just cut from their offering. So beware...

The only requirement the server appears to have is a Host: header line. It even takes a HTTP/1.0 specification. It appears the Host: header is used to host multiple domains on a single server without requiring multiple IP addresses. It tells the web server the hostname which was in the URL the browser processed. Prior to this the only way to support multiple domains on one web server was to assign a unique IP address for each domain. Should be an easy change to make in WWW/LX.

There are a bunch of these. I think at least one is on SUPER. I know of a very nice one that does formatting - including tables (with a bunch of options). It can also be configured to replace html tags with printer control codes to produce documents with large headers, bold, italic, underline, etc. It's freeware, written by Bruce Guthrie. Check his site at: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/2414/ The version I DL'd a few months back is htmst711.zip He does frequent updates, so the numbers on the end are probably different. If you have any problem with getting this, let me know, & I'll send you a copy. It's not little - the .exe is over 140K, but I think it does a lot more than most of the others. You might also try VIEW. I'm pretty sure this one's on SUPER. Does less with HTML, but can be used on msword docs and other WP files. Also can convert from unix docs to dos, and a lot more.

The National cards have always attracted me, but they tend to be power hogs. Same for the NI Gpib cards. One very serious drawback that I have been bitten by is one that these cards all seem to have in common. (including the ISA/PCI types) This is the lack of circuit isolation that a stand-alone data logger typically has. I watched a very expensive laptop go up in smoke when the power supply in the device being tested shorted and dumped 120VAC into the DAC card and through the laptop. A very workable and safe alternative is to use something like the Fluke Hydra logger (nice unit) and run it via the serial port. I have done this with good results. also, the Omega loggers should work. Both these units have very good channel isolation. My pick is the Hydra, since it's 21 channels can be programmed individually to measure resistance, ac/dc current, ac/dc voltage. Also comes with a DOS program that runs nicely on the HP200. The resulting logs are stored as comma delimited ascii files, which can easily be imported into Lotus. Both these and other loggers are available used from Telogy and other used/rental test equipment houses at prices that will compete with the cost of the DAC PCMCIA cards. A very inexpensive (my kinda game) alternative is the EZScope software with the Analog Devices 2181 Eval board. The gentleman who wrote this mentioned it here on this list and posted it to the SUPER site. I am working with it now, seems to work ok. P.S. Most of these loggers come with manuals that list the software command sets used to contol these units. (via Basic, C, etc...) Have fun with this. I have.

That is, the normal palmtop -> desktop cable is a "null" cable with specific wires switched. If you're using that you'll also need a null modem connector to "straighten" it back out. 2nd, fire up Datacomm and try to issue Hayes "AT" commands to the modem.

Subject: Re: Battery hours MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit With all this talk of a certain area of memory getting corrupted and causing excessive battery usage, surely there is a better way to fix it than to let the 200LX drown in a sea of no power.. Perhaps someone knowledgable about this area of memory could write a programme to reset it, and perhaps explain *why* this happens.. :) Anyone know the address of this area of memory?

Subject: Re: HTML to TEXT??? In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Thanks for all the tips. I'll report on my results. First, the simplest was using LYNX itself to format the HTML into plain text. This works great, and I made myself a script file on my UNIX shell account to do this automatically when needed. Unfortunately, I don't have LYNX on my palmtop nor desktop computers. That's why I tried the other two solutions suggested, H2T by David Colston of Nettamer fame, and HTMLSTRIP by Bruce Guthrie of Wayne Software. Both programs are free. H2T indeed worked, but as advertised in the accompanying warnings, it is bare bones. However, it is quite small. HTMLSTRIP, on the other hand, generates much prettier output. Tables, lists, and a large selection of HTML tags are understood and supported. Anyway, there's what I learned. I'll probably stick to HTMLSTRIP for my serious work, and carry H2T on the palmtop for casual reading. And I'll use LYNX itself when in UNIX, now that I know how to use it "offline" like this.

Torbik" Subject: High Capacity PC Cards and HP Palmtops Comments: To: Chris Lott MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The following information is submitted in response to questions Shore Systems has received concerning the large (>48MB) flash cards recently described here. > Shore Systems Ltd. www.shoresystems.net resells Viking and Simple Technologies PCMCIA cards. For purposes of this discussion, both vendors products are assumed to be the same, technically. > There are several reasons we resell these vendors products rather than SanDisk, including: > 1. Warranty and support: Viking/Simple guarantee their products for 5 years, versus 1 year for SanDisk. Viking/Simple also offer a 24-hour Express Exchange, WorldWide, = for any defective product, during the warranty period. > 2. Technical design: Viking/Simple cards use 64Mbit flash chips and a Lexar controller. SanDis= k uses 32Mbit flash chips and a proprietary controller. The 32Mbit chips us= ed by SanDisk result in a sort of compression being used to attain their hig= her capacities. The result is a much slower card than Viking/Simple. > 3. Data transfer rates: Many mfrs advertise a data transfer rate that is stated as =93Burst Mode=94. However, this is meaningless for most users. The =93CONTINUOUS=94 transfe= r rate is what really matters, as this is the length of time required to erase a= nd write data from/to a memory block. Viking/Simple achieve continuous trans= fer rates of 710-750KB/second versus 400-450KB/second by SanDisk. The burst m= ode transfer rates are also better for Viking/Simple, at 10MB/second from hos= t to interface versus 6MB/second for SanDisk. > 4. Power efficiency: Viking/Simple cards use 22-34mA during write/erase cycles in 3.3 volt mod= e vs. 35-45mA for SanDisk in 3.3 volt mode. This is attributable to slower data transfer rates and a less efficient card controller design. Power consumption in sleep mode is also higher on the SanDisk cards, for the sa= me reason. > 5. Capacity: Viking/Simple have/will have PC cards with capacities of up to 160MB in T= ype II format. SanDisk's larger cards are Type III format or use Double Densi= ty to reach their stated capacities. > 6. Cost: SanDisk cards are, on average, 60% more expensive than Simple/Viking card= s of the same capacity. This may reflect a =93brand premium=94 that SanDisk believes it can charge for name recognition. It may also reflect the fact that all distribution is handled by a Sales Agent, Prima International. Viking/Simple resell their products directly to distributors such as Shor= e Systems, and therefore have a lower cost.

Largest file I have now loaded is about 1MB, but no reason why this should be a limit. Has a record mode, document mode and free mode. You can use about 50 commands (DOS version) to write very flexible programs to manage your stored information. Not only good for storing data, can be used as a freeform database (fields are defined contextually as "after spec. word" "vicinity of spec. word" and can be manipulated in many ways like if it was a structured database. The .ask format of files uses compression, so keeps stored information much smaller than .txt equivalents. Allows encryption. Will gladly answer individual questions mailed to me. Have no connection with the software company. More information can be found (inclusive a free demo version limited to 100 records per file) at www.asksam.com I am sorry that I cannot compare askSam with other products. I have been using askSam since ver. 4.01 for DOS (year 1988) which I discovered when working in Tunisia. Now I use both askSam for DOS version 5.0 (most of the time) and version 2.0 for Windows. I have used askSam for all patient data handling. I use askSam for educational purposes, knowledge acquisition, storage and presentation. When I studied for my Board exams, I used askSam for note-taking and the gynecology file keeps growing and my students use it as a hyper-book. AskSam batch file possibilities can keep the amount of data small. askSam cares for my personal documents, letters, laboratory forms and protocols, MEDLINE, CCOD and WWW document archiving and searching. I have a file called all.ask, where I put everything I would have on loose bits of paper (loan of a bok etc.). From time to time I search on "loan" to find what I thought was lost forever. Medical data is almost impossible to structure into any standard form database. askSam lets you grab knowledge as it comes, defining fields on the run. It only pushes you to make intelligent queries when you are trying to extract or analyze the captured data. The surest way to loose unexpected and interesting information (eg. the delivery of septuplets) is the lack of a field for this event in a traditional database. Saving this information in a free text field does not usually allow for boolean searches in a standard database. In this respect you cannot beat askSam. Nothing I have come across so far lets you search for "prostaglandins" that can be concealed in medical text as PgF2 PgE2 prostaglandins by a search query prosta* {or} PG* {not} prostat* {not} pg. (to skip documents dealing with prostate or pages). You can export or import almost everything to and from askSam. The only thing you cannot do in the DOS version is text formatting (character types, underlined etc.). Sorry for the length of the text posted.

If your macros are not working it may be keyboard buffer space, which on every standard rc since the original has been 15 bytes. You can easily test it, start a task that doesn't take input and while it is running input keypresses and count. When you hear a beep the keyboard buffer is full. Also, after the previous command completes you will see what filled the buffer and be able to count the number of keys that made it, I would suggest starting at "A" and pressing the keys in alphabetical order.

Closer and closer they come. You drop something, and crouch down to pick it up.....If only you knew. They choose this time to strike. Quickly, they rush to your back, grab the top of your underwear,  and pull. They pull hard.

Aren't you tired of receiving all those "virtual flowers" and "virtual hugs"? Well, here's your chance to do some thing about it! Forward the email or ICQ message that brought you here to all of your closest friends (or for that matter) your enemies as well, and share with them this personal online greeting.

We started this greeting page on 7th March 1998 with a goal of getting to 100,000 wedgies by 1st June, 1998, but, as you can see, we have been inundated with hits. A more suitable goal now is 1,000,000....We think we can do it....We need your help, so SEND THOSE WEDGIES!!!

We are a bit behind the rate we need to get to 1,000,000, so PLEASE send wedgies to anyone and everyone you possibly can. Send them through email, through ICQ, put links on your homepages, mention in any newsletters that you publish....anything at all!!!

 

wedgies have been inflicted so far!!

There is quite a few programs for that purpose, many of them can be found from Yahoo/Computers/WWW/HTML/Converters (go to www.yahoo.com and follow the path). A good place is also WWW Consortium's site's Tools section: http://www.w3.org/Tools/html2things.html One parser I can recommend is Andrew Pam's parser called html2setext, which converts html to strucured enhanced text. This one was available as a C source from Serious Cybernetics www.sericyb.com.au, but I could not find as I just checked. Few years ago I wrote using, the html2setext, a unix script, mostly with sed & awk, which converted a whole html structure below defined level on the www-server in to Gopher and some other format plus created one huge file containing all the text in the www-structure following the links to files found in the defined server.

If you suspect long pathnames may be causing problems with the buffer, you may want to use the DOS SUBST command to assign a drive letter to a long pathname. Thus you could refer to a long pathname as simply drive F: I believe SUBST is in DOS 6.x. If you have it already, you should. It replaces the ASSIGN command that comes with the LX and takes up a lot less memory as a TSR. If you use SUBST, you may have to do something with the LASTDRIVE command in config.sys to make sure you have enough valid drive letters. - Longden PS - On a related subject, I don't believe there is a DOS method of ascertaining the amount of true environment space (not keyboard buffer) in use. I do seem to recall various nickel-dime utilities (probably at the Simtel site) that will give you that info, tho I doubt that's what you need in this case.

Can this be a corruption of the mysterious RAM that no one can touch? Seems I do recall when I first got my LX, that the order of installing the batteries was important enough to HP to make a special label and that it seemed the reverse of what I expected (I think it was AA first then backup?). Maybe that had something to do with initializing the "untouchable" RAM? Just a thought. Seems strange otherwise to have any problems such as you describe after a full reset. Maybe you should back the batteries out and bleed the system using any of the methods recently described, and try again? - 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: Wed, 13 May 1998 07:01:12 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , stefan.peichl@METRONET.DE Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stefan Peichl Subject: Light Sleep vs. Deep Sleep MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable There seems to be confusion about the power management of the palmtop. Some clearing words: Light sleep and Deep sleep are completely independant features of the palmtop, linked together by the Timer0 interrupt service routine. -Deep sleep- may be invoked by a software interrupt at any time and switches off VCC, CPU, DISPLAY, TIMER and HFO. -Light sleep- usually enabled by the keyboard interrupt 16h. Switchs only the CPU off until an interrupt occurs. After interrupt handling, the CPU clock is switched off again. The Timer0 interrupt links these two features together: It sets up a TimeOutCount which is decremented at every Timer0 interrupt (18.2 times per second) only if light sleep is enabled. If the TimeOutCount reaches 0, deep sleep is entered. That means, if your unit falls into deep sleep, it is very likely, that light sleep was enabled before. However, if a program takes over the keyborad interrupt and/or the timer0 interrupt (as Windows does) there is no chance for the palmtop to fall into light and deep sleep. At the lowest level, light and deep sleep are controlled by bit0 and bit2 of the system control register (Hornet index 1Eh) A forthcoming version of LXPRO will allow you to read and write all palmtop I/O ports and registers. This will reveal some secrets, the palmtop still holds, like for example, that it is running about 25% faster in HP95 mode. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 13 May 1998 06:22:02 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Carpman Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Carpman Subject: geos MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I was bored at school, so I was looking at yahoos alternate os list, when I came across GEOS.

Let me give a UNIX example. If I wanted to, I could type the following command: $ ls -alrt *.dat in this manner: $ ls \ > -alrt \ > *.dat In most UNIX shells, when you type the continuation character, the \, the CLI will not process the command, but rather wait for you to continue entering it on the next line. The command is processed when you hit the final ENTER, not preceeded by a backslash. (True to other uses of the backslash, it is like you are ESCAPING the ENTER key you are about to hit). Also note that UNIX shells permit you to specify a different prompt (shown above as a '>' character) for these continuation lines. So my original question was, is there an equivalent operation in DOS's command.com CLI that will permit continuation lines? -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

Anyone know the price and availability for a recent version of Derive that'll run on the 200LX? I've emailed the dealer (www.derive.com) and haven't received an answer yet, but one of their authorized dealers, MathWare in IL, says V 4.0 was $185 and requires a 386.. also that V 3.0 is no longer available. On the same subject, does anyone know how Derive compares with MathCAD in terms of working out symbolic equations (factoring, solutions and plots)?

Not necessarily true; the LXREF package on http://comports.com/hplx has the information, and it can be run on the palmtop or the desktop. -- 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: Wed, 13 May 1998 11:46:44 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ed Padin Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ed Padin Subject: Re: Light Sleep vs. Deep Sleep Comments: To: "stefan.peichl@METRONET.DE" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sounds like you really know your stuff when it comes to the 200LX. Have you heard about the Pretec Falsh card? David Sargeant and I have one (I think it was David...). It runs up to 300% faster when you hold down a key. If you don't hold down a key then it is deathly slow. David said he contacted pretec and they said "it's a power saving feature..."(lame!). I was very disappointed when I got this card and couldn't return it because, technically, it wasn't broken. Do you have any ideas on how a software solution could be implemented to alleviate this problem? Can LXPRO help? Thank you. -----Original Message----- From: Stefan Peichl Ýmailto:stefan.peichl@METRONET.DE¨ Sent: Wednesday, May 13, 1998 7:01 AM To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu Subject: ÝHPLX-L¨ Light Sleep vs. Deep Sleep There seems to be confusion about the power management of the palmtop. Some clearing words: Light sleep and Deep sleep are completely independant features of the palmtop, linked together by the Timer0 interrupt service routine. -Deep sleep- may be invoked by a software interrupt at any time and switches off VCC, CPU, DISPLAY, TIMER and HFO. -Light sleep- usually enabled by the keyboard interrupt 16h. Switchs only the CPU off until an interrupt occurs. After interrupt handling, the CPU clock is switched off again. The Timer0 interrupt links these two features together: It sets up a TimeOutCount which is decremented at every Timer0 interrupt (18.2 times per second) only if light sleep is enabled. If the TimeOutCount reaches 0, deep sleep is entered. That means, if your unit falls into deep sleep, it is very likely, that light sleep was enabled before. However, if a program takes over the keyborad interrupt and/or the timer0 interrupt (as Windows does) there is no chance for the palmtop to fall into light and deep sleep. At the lowest level, light and deep sleep are controlled by bit0 and bit2 of the system control register (Hornet index 1Eh) A forthcoming version of LXPRO will allow you to read and write all palmtop I/O ports and registers. This will reveal some secrets, the palmtop still holds, like for example, that it is running about 25% faster in HP95 mode. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 13 May 1998 17:47:49 METDST Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Charles Stroom Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Charles Stroom Subject: Appointments and LotusNotes Has anyone tried to make a transfer from the HP200lx's Appointment book to the LotusNotes Calendar function?

Command.com doesn't allow this feature (or if it does I've never seen it), but there are several other things you can do. Find an old version of the MKS toolkit (www.mks.com). It includes a Unix shell for DOS and it no doubt has this feature. You could also get the free korn shell for DOS from Simtel's Gnuish section. It is rather large (~200kb), but runs well on the LX, if set up properly. 4DOS, an excellent command.com replacement for Dos might also have this feature, I'm not sure. (www.jpsoft.com) There are also a few command-line enhancers (usually TSRs that add filename completion to the shell) out there that just might do what you want. Interestingly enough, if you press when on the command line you get a backslash and the cursor is automatically located on the next line. Perhaps Microsoft intended to implement this feature, but never got around to it? Regards, Laust --- /// Laust Brock-Nannestad - laustbn@diku.dk - HPLX+C64+SID /// /// This tagline is SHAREWARE!

I have a 8 meg RAM machine, no flash card. Is it worth it? I know about compression ratios for various file types, I have all kinds on the LX, but would it cause problems, or..? I've never used a disk compression utility before, so I'm not real sure what to expect. I've created a 750k file and moved VR into it as a test and it yeilded a 39% compression rate in JCHKDSK, which sounds reasonable. Also, my available ram (filer resident, SMMX open) is shown as 267k.. :( :( I have Buddy and a few other small TSRs, going through DOSShell. Jam is taking 32k of ram, as indicated in the manual. I use DOSShell to load big stuff, so low ram in SysMgr really isn't that big of a deal. Just can't have a bunch of apps open at once, but I usually don't. Is there a 'lighter' version of JAM, or is Stacker a better idea on the Palmtop, or what do you guys suggest? Thanks! -- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.. . .

The backslash, carriage return output after that is a hold over from the days of hardcopy terminals that couldn't backspace over, or blank out, a line. Remember, DOS is basically a rip off of CP/M and CP/M was written for terminals, which included the above mentioned hard copy terminals. Until the ansi.sys device driver was written DOS couldn't do any type of screen control that didn't exist in CP/M. Pete Peter W.

If it works, you have a fast flash card, and fast dying batteries. There is a simpler way, to test if light sleep is the problem: Connect your palmtop to the AC adapter. If the palmtop finds an adapter plugged in, light and deep sleep is disabled.

If you have many different programs on your LX then you probably have many .exe files. They can usually be compressed with PKlite or Diet (on Simtel or Garbo) which doesn't decrease conventional memory as it is done on execution time. Actually, Diet can compress data files and stay resident just like Jam/Stacker. Granted, Diet is more primitive than both the aforementioned programs, but it may also use less memory and can possibly be unloaded again. I suggest you download it and look at the documentation. I haven't had any expirence with it resident, so I cannot really help you. Shouldn't Jam and Stacker be able to use expanded memory (EMS)? Providing you have an EMS driver of course...

OK guys, here is the good news! doskey /buffsize=1024 /insert The switches are optional, I use them to allow easier editing, bu having doskey work in Insert mode as the default is overstrike. You can over-ride this by pressing "Insert" but it is only effective for one command line. The buffsize is so you can run macros or aliases. These are Extreemly Cool! Before I launch into those, the answer to all thos questions about continuation of command line: Ctrl + T with doskey gets you an ascii 20 or paragraph sign. You can type something like: cd \ Ctrl+T dir Ctrl+T pause Ctrl+T cd \_dat Ctrl+T dir *.ndb Ctrl+T pause Ctrl+T etc, etc, etc... BTW, the etc's will not work! You press Ctrl+T, not type it... One can continue typing past the end of the screen as it will wrap onto the next line. Now, macro/aliases! Way cool concept, they go like this: doskey .=dir *. doskey ..=dir *.* doskey ...=dir /w doskey aa=a:\ doskey cc=c:\ doskey m=mem /d $b more You can enter these at the command line, and that is the best way to debug them, but you can also run them in a batch file when you have a list you want to use all the time. Typing doskey /macros will output to screen the macros that you currently have assigned, and typing doskey /macros > file.bat will get you a batch file to reload doskey when the machine is restarted. To use them, simply type the aliases, "." will give you a listing of files with no extension and directories. "m" will give you a mem /d listing, pausing when each screen is full. All the doskey commands and switches are in any dos 5.0 manual. I use them to negate the possibility of typos on the little LX keyboard. I hate having to type cd space, backslash, shift, minus, dat and so have a doskey d=cd \_dat that means I simply type d and press enter! An almost UDF is the fact you can name your doskey macros after the built-in commands, and dos will execute them first! If you want the "old" dos version of the command, simply type a space before it! I appologize for the huge number of exclamation marks and the length of this epistle, but I also hope it will be usefull and inspire people to stretch their usage of this amazing little machine.

Aztek computers 17729 Chatsworth St. Granada Hills, CA 91344 818 363-7525 www.aztekcomputers.com On 3 April 1998, I bought a copy of Derive 3.04 from them for $20. I believe they had at least 2 others in stock. The owner was trying to clear it out of inventory, they mainly sell hardware. It seems to run fine, although slowly on my stock HP200. It adjusts to the zoom function on the HP200. >I've emailed the dealer (www.derive.com) and haven't received an answer >yet, but one of their authorized dealers, MathWare in IL, says V 4.0 was >$185 and requires a 386.. also that V 3.0 is no longer available. >On the same subject, does anyone know how Derive compares with MathCAD in >terms of working out symbolic equations (factoring, solutions and plots)? Derive deals with your formulas, line by numbered line. MathCAD makes the screen look like handwritten math equations. Derive requires fewer resources to run. Derive seems to provied much more control on how the symbolic math is done. In the past, I've fooled around with old versions of Derive and MathCad. In neither case did I have manuals. For both programs there is a steep learning curve. An old review in PC Magazine rates Derive's accuracy quite highly. I may be able to find the article. E-mail, if you want the citation. Thomas G.

The only one that I didn't get a request for a driver from was the "C:" slot. When I inserted it instead of the Type III hard drive and rebooted (it didn't do anything as I remember, turning the thing off and inserting it and then turning it on), the Omnibook proceeded to copy all the files that it wanted on to the card. Afterwards though, it still wouldn't read the card. If the newer cards work, or if there is a work-a-round (like the driver the machine requested), I would love to hear of it.

I have played with a version of Derive that my school had. It is 4.05 and runs just fine on the HP 200LX (2M), although on start up it does indicate it is running in 16-bit mode. It isn't the fastest thing in the world, but I haven't run into any limits on its functionality due to running it on the HP.

It seems to run fine, although slowly on my stock HP200. I run an older version (2.03) of Derive on my HP200 2Meg. It runs fine. Most problems it runs very quickly. Perhaps you want an older version if you don't need some of the upgrades (I'm not sure of the differences among the different versions). Derive is a terrific program. Small, fast, and accurate. The user interface leaves a little to be desired and there is no (real) on-line help. You need the manual to understand how to use it well. However, it is great for algebra, calculus (differential and integral), and a host of other mathematical applications. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 14 May 1998 14:22:34 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Daniel Kropveld, Amsterdam-NL" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Daniel Kropveld, Amsterdam-NL" Subject: Olympus (Agfa, Epson) digital cameras MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT If there is somebody on this list who uses these camera's, and wants to connect them with their palmtop, then this page might be interesting: How to connect your camera: http://huizen.dds.nl/~kropveld/olympus.html#hplx Which software is there available (DOS, Windows) http://huizen.dds.nl/~kropveld/olympus.html#sw Good luck!

Well, I have a copy that I've used on my palmtop. It reports that it is version 2.01, (c) 1988, 1990 by Soft Warehouse, Inc. out of Honolulu, Hawaii. > I've emailed the dealer (www.derive.com) and haven't received an > answer yet, but one of their authorized dealers, MathWare in IL, > says V 4.0 was $185 and requires a 386.. also that V 3.0 is no > longer available.

I don't know for sure, but the impression I have from speaking with other engineers about this is that MathCAD is a more powerful product. Don't know, personally. You might be interested to note that Microsoft had an entry into this genre of symbolic math programs with a package called muMath. I have an old copy sitting on my shelf, that I've been meaning to try out on the palmtop "when I get a round to it". We actually used muMath at work many years ago, solving some large sets of equations both symbolically and later numerically. Another engineer worked with it - my only recollection was that the interface was VERY, VERY, VERY awkward. And this was 1987 when everything was done by command line. -Chris Lott p.s. Hmmmmm.... I just pulled out the muMath manual, and perused it. It seems to have been written by the same company as Derive, The Soft Warehouse of Honolulu, by David Stoutemyer and Albert Rich. It would appear that it was sold in a variety of flavors to run on all sorts of microprocessors of its day, 8080 CPM, Apples, and MS-DOS. It's name, muMath-83, tell me that it is of 1983 vintage. Why Microsoft's name is on the document is a mystery, unless they bought the rights to distribute/sell the MS-DOS version of the program. *********************************************************************** R.

As an update, the maker (Soft Warehouse) did notify me yesterday and corrected the dealer's remarks... all versions up to and including 4.x will work on the 200LX. The 4.x (and maybe 3.x) versions autodetects and switches to 16 or 32 bit mode depending on the processor. Several posters have told me they're already running 3.x on their 200LX. I'm trying to run down a discounted copy myself, since my needs don't justify the $185 for the newest version and I can do without the added XMS code anyway, tho I'm sure it's worth every penny to those of you who crunch symbolic math for a living. > I don't know for sure, but the impression I have from speaking with > other engineers about this is that MathCAD is a more powerful product.

I just bought a 200LX today, one guy just wanted to get rid of it!. But I am not quite sure if it was a coup or not... There are problems on the right hand part of the screen, now and again or with slight pressure vertical lines will not turn on. There is bad contact somewhere on the right side... Is this something to just pray and hope it won't get worse or can a simple fix be applied? Or is this a major problem? With slight pressure the display is ok, take my finger away and a vertical line appears. Or is it a non-line? :-) Anybody opened the lid to repair any screen problems? Does HP have a no-questions-asked world-wide repair service for this? Just hoping, in vain... Have a nice day!

Comments: To: Tony Wallace Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit As far as I can tell, the only impact Y2K has on the 200LX is in Lotus 123. Where years are now displayed as 2 digits, after Y2K they will be displayed as 4 digits. Therefore, the column widths may have to be widened accordingly. There are also issues with entering dates in databases. I don't know the break-off points are, but certain year dates will have to be entered as 4 digits. This pertains to early years (downward towards 1900) and later years (upward towards 2100).

Although I don't remember the exact story (someone told me, but I forgot...) it was something about Microsoft not wanting to distribute the program any longer and then SWH went into business for themselves. This is fairly common procedure - Borland's TurboBasic was later relaunched as PowerBasic by the original programmer. BTW. SoftwareHouse still sell their Lisp compiler, still called muLisp.

Walter Francis _. KT4LH . That one is easy, except that there is an internal length limit on the DOS path, I think it may be 127 characters but I am not sure. ANyway, to make your path line more readable in your batch files do it like this: Set path=c:\;c:\dos;c:\bin;c:\batch set path=%path%;d:\dos;d:\bin;d:\batch The "trick" is the %path% in the second line, that is the path variable that was set in the first line. It doesn't have to be first, it can appear anywhere that you want the first set of directories in the path list. You can also write a handy batch file like so: set path=%1;%path% and call it something like addpath.bat. Now to add a new directory to the start of the path you would just say: addpath e:\newdir and that would be your first path entry, with everything else moved down one. Pete Peter W.

I noticed a hinge crack after using my HP100LX/1MB for over a year, and within three weeks of noticing it, the hinge disintegrated and the system is virtually unusable. If you noice it, fix it immediately. FYI, if you don't want to risk the repair yourself or have a unit with an ugly patch, you might consider having HP service the unit out-of-warranty. I checked this out, and for my machine they charge a flat $175 fee for "service". This really means they do a complete refurbish job, replacing lost or broken parts, and if necessary replacing the whole unit with another "from the same year". (Does HP really stock old units for the purpose of replacing service units?) Of course, back up your system before sending it in, because they may lobotomize it. To pursue this option, call HP at 970/635-1000, and/or mail your unit to: Hewlett-Packard Corp, Corvallis Service Center 1030 NE Circle Blvd, Bldg #11 Corvallis, OR 97330 (BTW, I have no connection with HP, and cannot recommend for or against HP's service option.) -------------------------------------------------------------- Opinions herein are exclusively my own, unless you share them.

And what version of Windows does it require? >Thanks. I know for certain that Word 1.1 will work. As for Windows, All versions up to 3.0 will run, but 2.03 (IMHO) makes the best bet. Version 1.0 of windows is way old, an interesting diversion, but for serious work, I don't think so. Version 2.03 is my fave, having full useability for the keyboard-only LX's. It uses the "Filer" algorithm, calling it "The MS-Dos Executive" Surly in the running for the worst name ever! Version 3.0 is the first with the "Program Manager" algorithm, using Icons to make program selection easier for the LCD. 3.0 unfortunately, is a step backward for keyboard shortcuts, many having been chopped as the programmers all chimed in together with "The whole world will follow Lord Bill and embrace Windows and the mouse and soon make keyboards obselete" Another drawback of 3.0 is it's increased size over 2.03 I use Word 1.1 and Excel 2.1 but am still looking for a decent database for Windows on the LX. The cardfile is woeful in comparison to the built-in LX one.

I've been meaning to suggest exactly that to you for quite some time now but resisted... so here's my window of opportunity :-) The Top 20 is a great idea but seeing the *same* 12~15 progs in the same place each time i visit the page really doesn't tell me who are the up and coming stars! LxPic will probably never be nudged from the top spot and casts a long shadow on other fine work that has been coming along. In my opinion, a current Top 20 (restarted every 3 months or less) will keep the listings fresh and provide challenge and inspiration to new contributors of popular progs/utils, while at the same time make hitting the page much more exciting for all visitors - authors and users alike! Could even kickstart those authors or 'would-be authors' who have been sitting on the fence or those staring at the project they started and could never find the urge to finish ;-) This page is a powerful resource that can be made to impact very positively on the HP LX community! Sadly, there are many great contributions that may never hit the SUPER Top 20 with its present configuration. Knowing the Top 20 'of all time' is very useful also and maybe this could be sent out with every fourth or fifth edition of Super's newest software additions (which BTW is a superb offering - thank you)...

My suggestion would be a sliding 3-month or 6-month window, updated monthly.

The shell is a pain to set up if you're not used to Unix, but once you get it running it is excellent. I used to have it on my LX, but switched back to 4DOS because that was what I'm used to. Anyway, the korn shell is actually a port of the Minix Korn shell and it does everything you'd expect it to. It is a bit slower than using command.com as it has to swap out of memory, but since you can control which applications are run with ksh in memory (which means ~200kb less memory for the application) and which are run with it swapped out, you can make it work almost as fast as under plain DOS. (For example, an ls-clone doesn't need much memory and thus you don't have to swap ksh out of memory before running it. This makes a noticeable speed increase - at least on a single speed 200LX with no EMS driver. I suspect it will be much better on a 2x speed/with an EMS driver or both! :-) As Edward said, the file is availiable from Simtel's Gnuish section: http://www.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/gnuish/ (be warned though, it is a 800kb download) Be sure to pick up some other Unix-like utilities at the same time as you'll need them! (as it usually is under Unix, the shell relies on external programs for doing most things such as copying, moving, etc.) Regards, Laust --- /// Laust Brock-Nannestad - laustbn@diku.dk - HPLX+C64+SID /// /// This tagline is SHAREWARE!

Hopefully, when I get the time this weekend, I will dump my PMR page onto my site with the instructions for LXTCP, the 200LX 'net freebie. To all the guys who mailed me their support, thanks. I have been busy with trying to learn how to get a page online these few weeks, but I would like to thank you all for supporting my stance. I hope my PMR page will go on well with you all, to be a reference point in the likes of David Sargant's hardware page. Except mine is for software and stuff. To the wanted software, maybe a "universal Ethernet card" driver? or maybe a menu to execute tcpip programs? (this is for pple using the LXTCP package.), or maybe this, a win95/os/2/unix/mac/whatever UNREAD MAIL package maker. Meaning what mail you have on your desktop that is marked unread, or in a folder, this program will pack these into a mail file readable in PNR, and you can read and reply to these mails on the road. When you are done, the packer (most prob a TSR run b4 the loading of the PNR) ON the LX itself will send the stats back (read/replied/forwarded) and sync with the main Desktop email package. I have been needing this as I was getting too much mail on my desktop, with too little time at home to reply, but since the LX is on me all the time, this can do quite a bit... Think of it as a syncro program such as puma, except this is for email. ...

There is no standard under DOS, but most people use util, batch, or bin. I doubt that any programs actually _require_ you to place the files in \bin. The reason a lot of people suggest \bin is because it is standard under Unix (and as far as I can tell, a lot of people on the list have been exposed to Unix - and liked it).

Powerful commands, yes, but in other ways it is rather limited (you have to split up your expressions for example). It works quite well on the LX, if a little slow, and it makes small executables.

I don't care for any leave on server or stuff; I get my mail on my system, and that is a pain to reply at home coz I am rarely home. What I mean is, I got 10 unread mail in c:\os2\mail\unread.fld. This program gets them 10 message files and compile it to a unread.fil or something, then I can transfer this to the palmtop, of which UMP (Unread Mail Packer) TSR will unpack into the spool dir and I can read/reply. All the actions that happen to the mails are logged, and a return.fil is generated. This is then taken to the desktop, where the actions (like sent mail on the palmtop will be moved to the send folder on my desktop) done are sync-ed with the desktop. Get the idea now? ... It works fine except when I am in Windows. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 18 May 1998 12:15:17 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Dennis Bell Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Dennis Bell Subject: Re: Top 20 Count Re-start Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Mitch- A resetting of the counters is a great idea. At the same time, why not display download counts for *all* submissions to the SUPER site. You must be generating those counts all the time, so it should be relatively easy to display them. If there are those who want to see the all time counts you could display them minimally along the lines of: 82 (2/3/98) - 514 (1/1/96) Thanks for your unflagging enthusiasm in maintaining SUPER.

I've tried tinkering with both his and Tom Hoover's config files (which they most generously offered up to the list here), but can't seem to get the PPP connection to start. Everything seems to go smoothly with both setups til the PPP thing is supposed to happen. Then I am told that it didn't happen and that the driver was not loaded. The applettes that come in the LXTCP package, of course, can't do anything then. I have used only two internet programs with my ISP ( a local one in Oregon called PEAK.ORG). I use IE v3.02 on my desktop and I have experimented with Net-Tamer v1.1 on my palmtop. Both were easy to setup. IE doesn't even us a script. Net-Tamer's script is all of: ---------- delay 10 PPP ---------- I emailed my ISP and they knew nothing concerning this software, but gave me a script for the Win3.x version of the Shiva. It is as follows: ---------- proc main delay 2 transmit "¬M" transmit "¬M" waitfor "-=>" transmit "ppp" transmit "¬M" endproc ---------- my pppdrc.cfg file that I have been using (and I presume this is where my problem lies) is: ---------- COM2 38400 IRQ 3 MODEM CRTSCTS ASYNCMAP 0 CONNECT "CHAT -V -R PPPDCONN.LST -F CHATSCR" USER #### PASSWD #### NAMSRV 198.68.23.27 ---------- Any ideas?

Save autoexec, reboot and hopefully you'll be seeing the new font. Also, check out the fcldl program included with the fontstuff.zip for a way to change fonts on the fly. Hit the link on the top of the S.U.P.E.R. webpage marked "Database" et voila, you'll find "holidays.zip" and a lot of other useful databases.

You'll need to determine how an end-of-job is sent by the HP in order to stop writing the file. You can also implement a time-out. Once the file is written, you can print it to the HP but use a printer interface file that sends raw output to the printer. The above would require some programming in Perl or C so you might also try using the dd command which copies raw data. You can use the command "dd if={serial port connected to hp} of={parallel port of printer}". This should forward all bytes from the serial port straight to the printer. Of course, it will interfere with properly spooled jobs. I haven't tried this stuff, so it my be total trash.

Anyway, you should be able to redirect the output from the serial port to the printer by doing: cat < /dev/cua0 > /dev/lp1 (guessing, but the idea should be right) But obviously this is not what you want as it bypasses the spooler...

So the end user didn't fuss with them. Hopefully yours are still set to the default for your country. Some printers will print out the dip switch setting if you hold down the form feed and/or line feed buttons when you power on. The usual way to control the printer was to tell the word processor what printer you are using and use its GUI for your document. If you aren't using a Word proccssor there are usually some panel switchs which can be very confusing, even with the manual (eg Panasonics). Thankfully, you can ignore them as many utilities have been written to send commands to the printer. Most printers ("letter quality" thru modern printers) have an "epson compatibility mode" which accepts command codes for choices like draft/letter quality, number of character per line, lines per inch, and alternate graphic character sets. I wrote a DOS command line utility that is easy to use and allows you to set 15+ options. Its still in the Garbo collection (epmode1.zip). Or I can send you the 10K zip as an E-mail attachment.

Just make sure that your serial port speeds are set appropriately on the HP and the cua device. I too would like to see a daemon to monitor the port and spool it to the printer. Also a one shot program that would monitor input and exit after one file has been spooled could be useful. As someone else mentioned, you would probably need to set a timeout for the end of input. Though I wonder if the HP raises any useful hardware lines during print... To add to want list, why not add file locking to the hypothetical LX spooler daemon and add file locking to lxtools (I am assuming it does not). So that you can run both on the same port. -- Stan Hall Pillar Communication http://www.telepath.com/pillar -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 19 May 1998 12:18:31 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Mitchell Hamm Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mitchell Hamm Subject: Breaking the Memo chains MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have finally given up on using Memo for message composition in POST/LX and am now using PalEdit like most others are.

Another consideration about DOS files is that, on a normal drive (not stacked), files space is allocated in 512 byte sectors; so no matter how small your file is, it takes at least half a KB. If you have a large number of small files (like .bat files tend to be) you should put them in a directory on a stacked drive and put that directory in the path.

In fact, only the outer surface of the lens is needed. Why do we only need the surface to bend the light? de Buffon cut away the inside of the lens and left rings with edges on the outside. Later, Augustin Fresnel modified this idea and the modern Fresnel lens was created. His lenses were first used on the French coast as a lightweight and less-expensive alternative to the old, bulky lighthouse lenses. Below is a schematic cut-away diagram showing how a Fresnel lens is made. - Joe Joseph S.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Many thanks to all for the ideas. I will try to summarize them when I have half an hour to spare. My first impression, though, is that my programming skills are very far from adequate to some of the applications needed. It seems that programming has moved along from the days of my (first edition) Kernighan and Ritchie ("The C Programming Language"), and some new skills would be needed before tackling soemthing like an Excel97 viewer, for example. On the other hand, the palmtops are a computing environment where lean programming may still be useful - I was very impressed by the PAL package, which (if I understand its author's philosophy) tries to avoid some new additions to C/C++ in order to remain compatible with older, smaller compilers producing smaller executables. On that point, I noticed that compiling the PAL sample program AMGRDUMP with Borland Turbo C 2.0 produced an .EXE of only 16K, while compiling with Borland C++ 4.5 gave an .EXE of well over 60K. It is not quite clear to me if the newer compilers can actually be tuned to give executables as small as the older compilers?

Comments: To: John Allen In-Reply-To: <3561F5D1.8D3342AE@sprynet.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" C++ code *will* compile to much bigger executable than pure C. It's because of the ++ stuff. Have you every tried to disassemble compiled C program, and the same program compiled with C++ compiler? With C, actual end of your program is the end of machine code generated by compiler, which is usually not the case with C++. Unless you plan on moving to Windows development, you should be much happier with pure C than C++. But that's my personal opinion (to avoid new language war). Even better, go for Turbo Pascal! Clean, lean and fast! Lean programming will always be a virtue. Even on huge GUI platforms, like Windows (anybody seen source of Netscape Communicator - unleashed ~ *500Mb*, 45 minutes to compile!). Excel and alike have proprietary formats, which are often not available to the public (I'm not sure about Excel in particular). So the only way would be to "hack" the format, which is not what every programmer is comfortable with. BTW: are there any Turbo Pascal programmers on the list that used PAL? Any input on that would be appreciated? I was planing on doing some stuff with PAL and TP, but never found time. I could use a kickstart. Nedim.

So that you can run both on the same port. If you went with the "one shot and out" type of daemon, I don't think you would need the locking. Just as with lxtools, you could compile lxspool with a default port and port speed. To print from the HP, you would type "lxspool" and it would start waiting for a configurable period of time. During that time, lxtools could not use the port. You would then hit "print" on the HP and lxspool would take the serial stream, pass it to lpr for proper spooling then exit. It could just send it straight to the printer, but some people will not have a Laserjet so may need their magic filter to convert the PCL to something their printer can eat.

Well, hell, I'm not that old, but here is my little tutorial... The heart of Windows 2.03 is the MS-Dos Executive, surely the world's worst name for a file manager! To quickly change drives, hold down Ctrl and press the drive letter, Ctrl + A, Ctrl + C, Ctrl + D To jump to a file or directory, press the first letter of it's name, keep pressing the same first letter to move between multiples of the same letter. To back out of a directory, press Backspace. To sort by type, press Alt + F then K To run dos programs, including the LX sysmanager, use the pifeditor. I have over 475k free in appmanager when run from Windows and after the filer has been closed, more than enough memory to run multiple LX apps. BTW, yours is another post I have seen mention of windows objecting to finding "OS/2" I wonder where this comes from? My LX is std, perhaps you are running stacker/jam/speed/mem upgrade? The tsr you are looking for is sleepon.com by Stefan Peichl and a wonderful piece it is too! It can be found on super at www.palmtop.net/super.html You can use this in a batch file, to reverse the screen b/w and then call win and allow full control of the keyboard and then unload sleepon after exiting win. The paint program is fully functional with the keyboard, and the files it produces, *.msp can be read with paint from later versions of windows. The only real drawback i find with Windows on the LX is a lack of true type support and poor printing performance. I tend to do work in Excel and Word on the palmtop and then transfer the files to a desktop by pc card or cable and then do final font selection and print preview before printing from a desktop. I have a portable printer and a serial <-> parallel converter, but cannot get presentation quality from this combination.

I've been using a program for about 6 months which I developed, allowing me to send & receive email on the palmtop by connecting with a serial cable to a desktop computer and using Eudora. On the palmtop, emails to send are inputted into a notetaker file, which is then transferred by the program to the desktop, converted, and fed into Eudora. Received email is converted from Eudora format to lx database and transferred to the palmtop. The program works on NT & 95, though it's a bit unfinished (not much of an interface etc). If anyone is interested, email me and I'll chuck a version up on the web.

I tried that, but all I can get out of it is the caps on double-click; nithing else works. Also, I load Buddy after MaxDOS so I can have enough memory to run PESPELL so I need to find a way to do those things without Buddy.

Without a math coprocessor, anything conventional will be nauseatingly slow. I do have some info on how to do blindingly fast 3D projections, if that'll help. It won't do Doom-like renderings, but the stuff I have looks just like Wolfenstein. Also remember this: the 200's graphics subsystem has some nifty stuff that'll make something like this a lot easier. Here specifically I'm thinking of the bit blitter. Oh yeah, one more thing. If it's gonna run decently on a 200, it'll have to be tight assembly or MoonRock (MoonRock produces tight assembly anyway, and can be hand-optimized as well). C and BASIC and Pascal just don't have the speed to do this kind of stuff. Ian Butler Advanced Software Systems, Inc. "It's hard to uncover the true meaning of 'frop'. SubGeniuses use 'frop' all the time, but nothing a SubGenius says makes any sense anyway, so you can't use the context to figure out the meaning. What you have to do is look at the broader picture. SubGeniuses use frop all the time. Nothing a SubGenius says makes any sense anyway. SubGeniuses don't make sense because they use frop. Got it? I didn't think so. Just come over to my house and look at my VW Rabbit. It has a model of a frop hanging off the rear-view mirror.

Mostly, it's pretty easy... you define your 'world'... you then define your viewpoint... then you 'scan'... i.e. you mathematically check to see what is visibl from that viewpoint.. DOOM and DOOM2 did it by looking at a map, drawing a line from viewer to object, and then scanning downwards towards the floor, and then outputting each seen pixel to an array... 2x2, that was defined by the number of pixels in the window. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 20 May 1998 14:57:36 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , sponsor@FTEL.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "A.

Of course you can. 286 instructions can be emulated on a 186 with usually only two or three assembler steps. This is particularly true in the case of Wolf 3D, since it doesn't use the 286's pathetic rendition of protected mode. If I recall correctly, the only thing it uses 286 instructions for is bounds checking, which can be done in software nearly as fast as in hardware. Incidentally, they aren't calls, they're instructions. Calls refer to subroutines or functions (or ISRs or entry points or what have you). Back to the subject ("Bitchin' palmtop game considerations") - if you really want to do this, I'd stop slinging mud Ý1¨ and get to work. First stop would be to go get the 200LX SDK, which will give you _tons_ of info on the graphics subsystem, which is hugely more advanced than a standard CGA, thus giving you lots of acceleration options. Second, go get MoonRock (simple, yes, but fast and efficient) and figure out how to use it. I'd recommend it to be your target language because of its inline assembler and wonderful memory and disk I/O options. Third, go find the Wolfenstein source and look it over on your big computer. I'd recomend porting Wolfenstein to MoonRock and then optimizing for the 200LX from there. It'll save all that troublesome thinking that makes programming such a grueling task. Well, enough talk, I've already gotten one death threat. I gotta get back to work before Al shoots me for talking trash on the list. ;) Oh, one last note, I'm willing to tutor anyone interested in MoonRock. It's a powerful language once you figure it out. Ý1¨ I'm slinging mud too. Deal with it. Ian Butler Advanced Software Systems, Inc. "It's hard to uncover the true meaning of 'frop'.

AFAIK, every Z80 instruction has a corresponding x86 instruction (ie no need for several instructions just to emulate one Z80 instruction) which could help in converting such a program. Register values could still pose a problem, though. Anyway, I've never done any Z80 assembly, so I could be all wrong...

It will no doubt be slower, though. Right. My 2x 200 runs as fast as a 12MHz AT, according to Landmark 6.0. Single speed palmtops would be excruciatingly slow, but with speed upgrade prices what they are, it's worth getting an upgrade for overall performance anyway. >Still, it would be easier if the LX had hardware sprite scaling :-) True enough. >What is needed is not tight code, but _fast_ code.

Well, loop unrolling would work fine in the instruction cache-less environment of the 200LX. Beyond that, precalculated math tables, offscreen buffering, and so on can be done in MoonRock with little difficulty. My concern for size is based on the fact that there just ain't much space in a palmtop. I think we should work for both, with speed being the priority. Like I said, you can hand-optimize MoonRock code quite easily (edit the assembler output of the compiler) and come out with a program that's just faster (and smaller) than all get out. >Incidentally, has anyone seen Wolf 3D run on a 12-286? it doesn't look >pretty, and the LX will probably be slower (or have I just been spoiled by >modern games). A doublespeed 200LX would be about the same as a 12MHz 286, as mentioned earlier. I've seen Wolf 3D run on an 8MHz 286, and it seemed fine to me. Didn't run it in full screen mode, though, so I don't know what that'd be like. As for being spoiled by modern games, yes, you have. Try running Street Rod 2 on a computer of its time, for example.

Hmm. the biggest problem with using MoonRock is that it is soooooo slow at compiling. A decently sized program literaly takes minutes to compile on a single speed LX. Should be somewhat less painful on a 2x speed. BTW. I just checked with MoonRock and it actually has an "optimize for speed" option. I'm not quite sure what it does (didn't have time to play with it), but it does do something :-) It's a shame Rowan never released the new (and improved) version of MoonRock. > A doublespeed 200LX would be about the same as a 12MHz 286, as mentioned > earlier.

Well, if it is the awe-factor you're after then why not simply capture a lot of pictures while playing Doom and then convert them into an EVA file? :-) (actually, I saw this done on the HP48 - several hundred kbytes worth of pictures captured from Doom. Looked pretty awesome in 4 colours (using the same 4 colour technique that Stefan uses in LXpic), but of course it wasn't playable...) BTW. ID software did another 3D game prior to Wolf3D. It is called "The Catacomb Abyss", and I'm pretty sure it doesn't require a 286. Unfortunately it does require EGA, and the source code isn't released as ID don't hold the copyright themselves.

You can combine some 8-bit registers to make 16-bit ones, and there's a boatload of different MOV options, and so on.

It appears that the only casualties are the screen and my wallet! HP declined to cover it under warrenty which seems reasonable, but they want $175 to replace the screen. Since I've been reading about broken hinges and latches, I am hoping that someone may have a machine with a working screen that they would be willing to sell real cheap. If so, please e-mail me directly. 2)When I bought my machine I also got the DOS-compatible Cable, Part #HP F1015A. Unfortunately, not being much of a computer person, I can't get my HP to talk to my regular PC. I guess I need some additional hardware and/or software, but I'm not sure, and my local computer stores don't seem to know anything about this machine except that they keep telling me it's outdated.

My want for a digital camera was mostly to fulfill the urge to slap a couple pictures here and there on my web page and otherwise nothing else too exciting. I decided to purchase one, when I saw the discontinued Casio QV-10/11 being sold around $200. Since there was software available for the HPLX to communicate with the QV-10, I thought that this was the perfect combination. Well, everywhere I looked, they were out of these cameras, so I started shopping around for other bargains. I finally decided that the QV-100 (QV-10 bigger, better reesolution, larger memory brother) would be a good bet and laid my hand on one. Well as everyone know, Casio makes some cool gadgets with plenty of features, but as I would find out they don't actually make the best cameras. The Casio QVs are really fun, but are really lacking in decent pictures quality and some useful camera features such as a flash. So I looked around some more found me a new toy and sold my Casio. Well I was finally happy when I received my Konica Q-Mini. This is a neat little camera. Decent pictures, flash (with red-eye reduction), 1.8" LCD, 3 image quality modes, and one of the best features to combine with the HPLX: 2 meg removable Compact Flash memory. This is the best part. I can pop the CF out of the camera and into the PCMCIA adapter and it is immediately available on my LX. The images are standard JPEG stored in a DOS filesystem (time & date stamped too!)s. Since receiving my camera I have also purchased a 16meg CF from Shore Systems (whom I highly recommend) which gives me a maximum capacity of ~300 low quality to ~100 high quality images and lets me store files for my HPLX too. Of course you must add some geewhiz factor for the common folks. So I picked up iPeX from S.U.P.E.R and customized my PHONE database just a touch more and now I have pictures on my Datacard. With the help of LXPIC I can open filer, browse A: (the CF), click on the jpg, resize, and save as a PCX image for iPeX. i am hoping to make use of the command line features of the latest versions of LXPIC soon. The short of this rambling: If you are looking for a digital camera for use with your HPLX, I would recommend you take a look at the Konica Q-Mini.

True enough, but I like the idea of the daemon running, waiting for a print job, and still being able to use lxtools. To let my thoughts ramble on: How about a daemon running that automagically spools incoming data to lpr *unless*, the port is locked by other lxtools, or a special character sequence (i.e. ESC ESC ESC) was received. When the special sequence is received it will start /bin/login on the port. I know that you (Mitch) have a bazillion free serial ports (and unlimited HP cables) and love swapping cables, but I have a finite number of free ports and think the all-n-one combination would be pretty cool. Aghh, why not just keep dreaming and have the daemon also recognize filer connect requests, so that the HP can initiate file tranfers. All sounds in the realm of possibility to me, especially when those other guys are dreaming about QuakeLX :-) Maybe we need to beg Andreas Garzotto to take time away from the paying gig (and for that matter some of the non paying ones too) and add new utility to lxtools. Personally I would be up for a moderate registration fee for lxtools.

As the Konica Q-Mini camera for one or the other feature might not be suitable for everybody,it would be interesting if LXers on this list interested in digital cameras could tell their experience with the compatibility of different types of DCs with the HP200LX, especially the cameras with high resolution.

One is obviously a compact flash card, and > the storage format, but there might be others I am not aware of. I use the Kodak DC20 (no longer sold), a minimalist camera with medium res, no LCD screen and no compact flash. So your minimum requirement just dropped a notch lower. Connectivity to the 200LX is via a serial connector, and LXPIC allows viewing of the native image format (.img). Other utilities I've found will convert that format to .bmp and then to .jpg, as well as allowing the 200LX to control the camera. I agree that CF/PCMCIA storage is a good way to go, certainly the more convenient, but many decisions are driven by cost and other features as well (such as size and battery life). I also agree that a list of digital cameras that work well with the 200LX would be useful. "Useful" meaning that the 200LX can be used to store, view and otherwise process the images without the need for another computer. Pricing and vendor information would also be helpful. - 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, 21 May 1998 06:11:18 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Longden C.

I too have a venerable and heavily-used hp100lx, whose latch (the one that holds the top to the bottom when the unit is folded shut) spring failed. The latch was intact & functional, but just did not snap into place when the unit was closed. I went around with it like that for a while since, in my bag or pocket, it is held closed by external forces. But I noticed that the unit's halves would clap together like a set of novelty chattering teeth and became concerned that this would cause damage. I hit upon the idea of taking an inch-long piece of approximately 1/8" wide steel clock-spring (coiled thin flat tempered steel tape), giving it a slight bend, and inserting it into the latch on the upper half of the unit, in the gap between the indentation in the case and the back of the latch. It works, fits perfectly, is held in place by tension so it is removable but will not fall out, and best of all: it was cheap (free)! It is only visible when the unit is open, and even then just barely. I got the spring from a defunct windup toy, but you could probably get some from a watch repair shop. It would even be worth buying a toy to canabalize if you really needed it. Check the thrift shops. -------------------------------------------------------------- Opinions herein are exclusively my own, unless you share them.

I had the same problem and solved it with a simple 1/2" long strip of rubber band, which I pushed behind the latch catch on the top with a pen. The solution is not permanent, because I have had to replace the rubber band once in the year or so I have had it.

The adapter is essentially a Type II PC Card with a cut-out for insertion of a CF Card of any capacity. CFs are available at the moment in capacities of up to 32MB.

I think the programming secret to that game is that all the "characters" are little flying robots made of simple geometric shapes, and move in limited paths through a maze of "tunnels". This shortcut in rendering has got to save a lot of CPU time, which is then devoted to fast game play. So I cast my vote for a scenario of "fast little flying robots in a 3D maze". For some other inspiration, take a look at LINEWARS 2.52 (or LINEWARC 1.71, an older CGA-only version). While originally intended for 2-person play over a modem or serial connection, in single-play mode this is an excellent 3D space shoot-em-up. It also uses simple geometric shapes to render the enemy ships (unfortunately, the moving starfield gets lost on the LX's LCD screen. And as for an animal mascot, the HP developers' codenames for the 95LX, 100LX and 200LX were "Jaguar", Cougar" and "Felix" ...so maybe Felix the Cat or some other feline would be appropriate? You wrote: After seeing the post on quake 2 for the palmtop, Carpman realizes the sorry state of palmtop games. He pulls up his 3D engine list, and after a few stats scroll across the screen, he turns back to the e-mail and says: ' O.K., I cant give you quake2, but I may be able to work something up that is more similar to wolf. 3d, Send me ideas, plots, textures, pixmaps, etc... And I think we should vote on the animal mascot for the palmtop, so that can be the main charater.' -------------------------------------------- ***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, 21 May 1998 10:31:36 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Mitchell Hamm Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mitchell Hamm Subject: Re: My take on digital cameras and the HPLX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > The short of this rambling: If you are looking for a digital camera = for > use with your HPLX, I would recommend you take a look at the Konica > Q-Mini.

I agree, there is probably nothing wrong with the server. It is most likely a setup issue, i.e. how you told Post/LX the information it needs. If your ISP requires a SECOND login and password for the email (i.e. different from the one used to login to them) then perhaps the password fails not because it is bad, but because the login id is incorrect. Some ISPs require that you put in the login id only. Others require that you put in the login id like sponsor@ftel.net instead of just sponsor If you login to one ISP, and grab email from another you need to enter in SETUP the login id and password for the POP3 in where the email is located. If you login to same ISP and just grab email, you do not eed to put in the login and password, Post/LX will use the login you provided in the initial logging in to the network. Hope this helps.

My supplier is no longer carrying them. From what I can tell the Konica Q-Mini is still being actively sold and Casio QV-100 may not be, though the Casio QV-100 has many similiar brethren. It also seems that Konica is not carried by as many places as some of the more popular brands (Casio/Kodak). I paid about $275 for the Konica Q-Mini (KQM) including power adapter and rechargable batteries (highly recommended). Without the power adapter, it was $250. For the Casio QV-100 (CQV) I paid $299. Both included software to transfer between W95 and the DC via the included serial cable, Adobe Photoshop, Carrying case, AA batteries, and composite video cables. BTW, when checking out cameras. I wouldn't go to the reviews first. I would check around and see what cameras are in your price range and then check the reviews on those. Many of the reviews I have seen will group several cameras together by list price, but the price on the street is extrememly variable, and the group of cameras reviewed may not be in the same price range on the street. For specs for both cameras please check out their respective web sites: http://www.konica.com/konicausa/ http://www.casio.com/html/products/qv-100detail.html BATTERIES One nice feature that you may not think about when checking out cameras (but I know you all thinking about it with your HPLX) is rechargable batteries. Battery usage on a DC with an LCD screen is high. The KQM takes 3 AA batteries, akaline or ni-cad and will **charge ni-cads in the camera**. The CQV uses 4 AA and has no charging capability. The total on-time for both cameras is supposed to be pretty close, but the Q-mini seemed to give consistenly longer batter life. One major factor is the fact that all of my images were transfered from the Casio via the serial port (high drain) while all Q-Mini were transfered via Compact Flash (CF). I have been getting about 70-80 images on one charge of the batteries with the Q-Mini and I have no reliable stats as far as the CQV is concerned FLASH One feature which seems to be lacking on many low end DC is a flash. This is almost a requirement for indoor photos. Well, the KQM has one the CQV don't. The KQM also has a red-eye reduction mode and you can disable the flash. In addition the KQM takes better low light photos than the Casio even without the flash. IMAGES Both cameras store their images in 640x480 resolution in high quality mode. The KQM stores its images in JPEG format while the CQV stores in a semi-proprietary format, CAM. Using the included software you can save the CAM images in other more common formats. The KQM has 3 quality modes and in each lower quality it reduces the quality of the JPEG image while mantaining 640x480 resolution. The CQV has two modes and reduces resolution in its lower quality mode to 320x480 (same as its little brother the QV-10). Generally the CQV pictures were not as sharp and clear as the KQM. The size of the stored images may lend an explanation (or excuse). STORAGE The CQV comes with 4meg of internal flash RAM, which can store a maximum of 64 high and 192 low quality images. The KQM comes with 2meg of removable compact flash RAM (CF) and stores 11 high, 23 medium, and 47 low quality images. As you can see the CQV stores about 2-3 times more pictures for a given amount of memory. As hinted at before I believe this trade off is at the expense of image quality. The CQV is non upgradable while the KQM can use any size standard compact flash ram. OTHER FEATURES The CQV has a rotatable lens assembly which lets you be more creative in your picture taking. You can also rotate the lens assemble 180 backwards and the image on the LCD will invert so that you can more easily take self portraits. Both cameras have composite outs, so that you may hook them up to a VCR or composite monitor for recording or video presentation. The CQV also allows you to hide images so that they are unavailable for veiwing until unhidden. This should be good for video presentation where you may have personal images stored on the camera also. Both cameras will transfer images via serial able. The cable that comes with the CQV is much less bulky than the KQM due to a patended design from Purple Computing and is the same as the Casio PC-Link cable. The KQM has white balance and and exposure controls while the CQV just has exposure controls. The white balance is extrememly helpful in getting more lifelike color response in indoor lighting situations. Once again to see a complete feature list please check out the web sites above. -- Stan Hall Pillar Communication http://www.telepath.com/pillar -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 21 May 1998 18:58:29 GMT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Tony Hutchins Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Tony Hutchins Subject: Re: Andrew Font Comments: To: Al Kind MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Thu, 21 May 1998 12:12:19 -0400, Al Kind = wrote: > > Did you ever get Tony's POSTH program running?

This is not necessarily bad since it can be carried at work and looks more like an organizer or calculator than a radio, I think that may have been the idea.

Has anybody tried out WWW/LX+ with any of the free web-based e-mail programs? Now obviously those programs like Rocketmail that use Javascript wouldn't work but has anybody tried to use WWW/LX+ on others. For those of who use those types of services, it would be really great to use WWW/LX+ for that purpose. The most primitive of the web based services seems to be over at www.catholic.org which offers a free e-mail service (it is powered by Edgemail which claims that almost any browser can use its service). Another one would be www.mailcity.com which allows you to switich between frames and non-frames. Another question is whether WWW/LX+ allows you to create cookies? === Dave Hart (hartd@poboxes.com) Dayton, OH USA Pillar of Fire, Pillar of Truth _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

My advice, don't buy a digital camera without a flash OR a zoom feature OR a LCD display. I the LCD display but not the zoom or the flash. I still have a great time with my camera but I know I will sell it later to get a new one with a flash and zoom. My brother in law and a friend both bought better cameras than mine, with flash and zoom and a higher number of pixels. One camera has the display panel and one dosen't. You don't really need it but I find it makes the camera. I like to check shots out on the display to see if they are what I was hoping to capture. I also like to use it to frame the picture. And, on a minor note, I find that when taking someone elses foto, where we are both in the foto and they can see themselve in the display, they tend to pose "better" (worse?) because they are actively composing the foto with me. The new casio 770 looked nice but I am open to all brands, not just Casio.

Well, i was gonna say the program got corrupted, but you are retrieveing other people's email fine, so that shot that one down. The only thing I can think of are two: 1. You _did_ change something, and can't remember it - maybe. 2. The server changed. So it seems to me these are the only possibilities. Maybe try again to run WWWSETUP.EXE and re-enter your password?

Although i got more of a headstart using PostH than most others i have found the program extremely useful! I like the interactive mode of operation but find the passive mode is a real gem - never once locked my machine and always produced what i wanted. When you refer to the 'classic D&A standard' i'm sure you're referring to a slick GUI and outstanding functionality and although the familiar pal interface isn't there the functionality surely is IMHO. It is difficult to fashion any one program to cater to the diverse needs of the hp email user but PostH is far better than your earlier comments suggest... Regards, Ian C.

If the numbers ALL had EXACTLY the same change/s needed, then yes, but if the change is variable, then it looks bad. One idea I had was using remkey, available from super, which connects your desktop keyboard to the LX via your PC so you can do a lot of "knuckle-boning" with more room for your fingers than on the tiny LX keyboard. This is assuming you don't have the connectivity pac. If you do the adjustment in the LX, you can write several macros to speed up the typing, like {Enter}{Enter}{Home}{Right}{Right}{Right}3{F10} to add 3 to a record from the list view, and maybe other macros to add different numbers from both record and list view. The other helpful idea is to use Subsets to group the records into set number changes.

On some appointments the alarm goes off just as it should (I usually set it so it goes off 20 mins before the appointment). Then for some strange reason it'll go off an hour later (that is to say 40 mins after the beginning of the appt). This doesn't do it on any particualar pattern. Some appts do it and some don't. I had one appt that kept re-alarming every hour until 4 hours later when I finally went in an deleted the appt. and it stopped it. It's never NOT gone off as scheduled, but I'm getting to where I don't trust it anymore due to the 'extra' alarms. I even started over with a new appt file and it still does it.

(But I was close!!!) I wanted to have buddydos available in POST/LX, but I could not afford the memory footprint of a full Buddy TSR as it prevented PESPELL from running. Therefore, I loaded buddy.com after maxdos; anything after maxdos is not taken into a maxdos session. To get buddydos to load under maxdos, I did a batch file called runpost.bat that looks like this: @echo off c: cd\wwwlx buddydos www -d !post.exe buddydos -u waiter -s 1 The last line is a little utility that just waits for up to five seconds. This had to be there to give buddydos time to exit before maxdos shut the door. My AppMgr line looks like this: c:\bin\maxdos.com c:\batch\runpost.bat| Works great! I have almost all the Buddy SmartCap stuff in PalEdit under POST/LX. Life is good. Mitch S.U.P.E.R.

Does anyone know how to do this? Also does Post/LX version 2 handle attachments better than version 1. Can you attsach files and will it automatically save an attachment in an email message as a file. I'm thinking of upgrading to version 2 (I bought mine after January so I can get a free upgrade) but don't see any reason to upgrade unless it handles attachments better since that's the only thing I use that version 1 lacks.

John, There are many things that version 2 improves on when compared with its predecessor and yes, v.2.0 does a marvelous job of attachments. You may not only attach a file to a msg as in Eudora, Outlook or any of the 'big' mailers but you may attach two, three or more... to any *one* msg! Pick.exe helps makes light work of finding files on the palmtop that you want to attach also. Decoding attachments to msgs you receive with v.2.0 is also very easy (you may also set the path for saving the attachment or rename the attached file/s on-the-fly or use a default path). If i told you that as an added bonus you could choose your default font for viewing msgs - independent of your palmtop font - would this also help sway you? And that the point size/font file is changeable *while in the viewer* would that get you off the fence...? :-) Regards, Ian C.

I feel like I answered that already, no? Since you get WWW/LX Plus for free, what are you making all this research for? You'll have to do it all over again when you get the package!

Well, we know there's at least one way to control power to the PCMCIA slot: turn off the unit (or deep sleep mode). So, perhaps there's a way to "separate" the effects of deep sleep mode, and only turn off the socket while retaining power to the screen and CPU.

This may not be the answer which you are looking for. First of all I have not even seen a Mac for the last 10 years and this is not my fault, but Bill's!! :) Anyway, I don't know if there are some special programs for this, but one thing I know- Some people are using a Mac with some kind of Win 95 emulator and they can connect to a HP Win CE palmtop after they have installed the emulator. So if you can't find a specific Mac<==>200LX program, at least a Mac DOS emulator program & HP 200LX connectivity pack should do it- OR? Just a guess..

Yup sorry Qman, the PEH.BAT doesn't handle filenames properly (unless you have TmpDir=3D and TempMsgFile=3Dpost.tmp like me :( That's a blank for TmpDir and lowercase post.tmp. Here's how the beginning of PEH.BAT looks now: @echo off rem note the file names in the following three lines rem are case sensitive. rem only the "A" and "B" must be capitals rem These lines will work only if you have rem TmpDir=3DC:\tmp rem TempMsgFile=3Dpost.tmp rem in your POST.CFG if %1=3D=3DC:\tmp\post.tmA goto message if %1=3D=3DC:\tmp\post.tmp goto misscomp if not %1=3D=3DC:\tmp\post.tmB goto edit So, in the PEH.BAT you have just modify it to look like this - you don't need the rem stuff. So if for example you have in your POST.CFG TmpDir=3DC:\TMP TempMsgFile=3DPOST.CFG then use the following: if %1=3D=3DC:\TMP\POST.TMmA goto message if %1=3D=3DC:\TMP\POST.TMP goto misscomp if not %1=3D=3DC:\TMP\POST.TMB goto edit Actually the simplest wasy to make it work in virtually all cases is to just remark the third line - then it doesn't matter what your TmpDir and TempMsgFile are... but POSTH will try to intervene if you edit the address book in that case .. still it's easy to abort with CTRL+BREAK and in that case POSTH will do nothing no matter how far it is through the options. Also there was another problem - the syntax says you don't need the "T1" - well you do, but I changed the bat file to agree with the syntax. The "TMP" line above is only needed in case you launch POSTH as an external - I should have left this option out probably. Anyway I hope you get it to work! I know the peh.bat is not too elegant but it means a great saving in time if POSTH.EXE doesn't need to be launched. Hehe you should see the basic source POSTH.BAS. Any ideas for improvement welcome, it probably needs a re-write.

There was a message here on the list from Tony, saying that the T1 is needed in the parameters. I tried that, but it didn't work for me either.

The SDK has a kind of white paper on it; not much on the external end of things, but plenty of info on the individual components of the Hornet.

Really, it's a motherboard (and display adapter, which is hot stuff, btw) on a chip. I can tell you more if you email me privately (sorry I lost your address; it went out with a flood of other stuff I deleted.)

Great! TempMsgFile is congigurable thru the SETUP.EXE program - in the Global section. I'm not sure what the default filename is - either post.tmp or POST.TMP is my guess. BTW thanks for the feedback! I've now got another version working that for example can do the above topline stuff automatically - I feel it is a bit over-the-top.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit 1/ Anybody know where I can get the screws that hold the 200LX together.....before it falls apart and I have to contemplate buying one of those blasted Windows CE machines? What is the precise size/shape of the screw so I can track one down? Give me one good reason why anybody would want a Windows CE machine anyway? I really like the keypad set up of the 200LX with the numeric pads just were they are on a larger keyboard. Are there any CE machines with this keyboard layout? Recently a salesman told me it will never be because of ergonomic rules. Is this true or just salesman crap to get me to change. In any case Windows CE appears to me to be just buying time until a better operating system is written. My plan is to get as much use my 200LX until it literally falls apart whilst waiting for HP or Toshiba to offer a palmtop that runs a closer to real version of Windows 95/98.... the Toshiba Libretto is close but I believe the battery life is shocking. How about a slightly smaller Libretto with a grey scale screen to conserve battery life......now that would be something. 2/ I tried getting a version of Pocket Quicken Connect for my 200LX from the Intuit site but it has disappeared. Anybody know were I can get a copy? Is it true that the new Philips CE palmtop will be bundled with Pocket Quicken and the HP CE machines have missed out? -------------------------------------------- ***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, 24 May 1998 11:52:57 +0300 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Alexander Stanovoy Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Alexander Stanovoy Subject: Re: FOR SALE 2*HP200LX WITH A LOT SOFTWARE Comments: To: MBpresent MBpresent MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello, I'd like to buy broken 200LX , how much it costs for me? ---------- > From: MBpresent MBpresent > To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU > Subject: FOR SALE 2*HP200LX WITH A LOT SOFTWARE > Date: Saturday, May 23, 1998 1:23 PM > > For sale: > Two HP200LX 2MB one German version and one English the English version > has a broken display but you can change it from the german version. > > Software: registered, WWWLX and QUICKLX English version. > > Incl.

The HP's built - in database, phonebook and notetaker impose too much structure for my liking. I was forever entering information and "forgetting" where I had put it. Yes, you can search for the information but the builit - in search facility feels cumbersome. With IS, each time you enter new information, it goes into a kind of window rather like a post - it note. In contrast to the HP's built - in applications, with with IS you just feed in any and all of your random information and as lomg as you can remember a key word, you can recall all windows containing that key word in a few seconds. You have the ability to join windows, split windows and cut and paste between windows. You can also create forms. As a busy Technical Manager, I find I get a lot of "information stimulii" coming at me from several sources constantly e.g. from the telephone, voice mail, e - mail, faxes, letters, memos, reports, reading material etc and I find that IS allows me to enter and recall it without having to apply structure to each snippet of information like which Note heading or database file should I store it under. So for me it's useful! Brian, I have some old articles from one of their UK agents on IS for DOS which I could fax you if you have a fax number. Might I also suggest you go to Micro Logic's web site and e-mail them and ask them to "sell" you the benefits of the package. When I bought mine, they had some copies left at $49 each. I don't know if there are any left now or not.

All three computers are setup for easy backup/file transfer within seconds of power up. I use a product called "MacLink" which is designed specifically for linking the LX to the Mac.

I still have an old Megahertz 9600 pocket modem/fax, onto which I had spliced an HPLX serial cable, but what with WWW/LX, Goin' Postal, etc., I plan on spending more time on-line and I wanted something faster. My criteria were a minimum of 14,000 baud, LONG battery life, and small size. I looked around and found the Addonics 33.6K pocket modem, but it draws power from the serial port, which sucks the battery from the palmtop. The same problem exists with PC Card modems. My feeling is that I would rather have a dead modem than a dead palmtop, which is what lead me to wanting a battery powered external modem. Besides, I like having 80MB of storage with my PC card, and I don't want to have to swap the card to log on. I had bought the modem for the PalmPilot, which is powered by two extra AAA batteries and has around 5 hours of batter life. being somewhat electronically oriented, I decided to hack around a bit, and I came up with what I think is a pretty goood solution. I removed the PalmPilot modem's circuit board from the casing, made a few modifications, placed it in a small (1.25" X 2.25" X 3.25") plastic project box and hooked up 2 Lithium-Ion AA batteries. I also connected a HPLX serial cable and viola! - a small, battery powered external 14,000 baud modem. The PalmPilot modem also has an external AC adapter, so when I'm in a hotel or at home, I don't use any battery power. The nicest thing is the battery life - I ran a test with the modem continously exchanging data with my desktop system, and the batteries lasted over 12 hours! With my usage, I figure that I'm going to be changing the batteries in my palmtop more often that my modem! If you wanted to do this, you can buy PalmPilot modems for around $100.00 mail order. If you do, don't bother sending in the registration card - you'll be trashing the warrenty big time! Anyway, if anyone's interested in the details, I'll try and throw something together that explains what I did. A word of warning - this is not a project for someone with no electronics skills. It involved trimming the circuit board and doing some soldering, plus hacking up a small project box. It's not exactly rocket science, but it's not trivial, either.

It is an add-on to POST/LX that inserts extra "header" stuff when you reply to a message - see the top lines here for example. It is fairly configurable. First you can have a dateline - then there is a delay-line and then the topline - most folk would only want the topline. It also will add initials in front of the ">" on the left. It's on SUPER now. Don't expect too much from it - it seems to be tricky to get working.

I wrote it last year and got lazy about re-chacking all the options worked. You need to add the "T1" after the Y - the docs say having nothing is the same as having T1 but that's not right with the PEH.BAT you rpobably have. I fixed this when I re-uploaded to Mitch yeaterday - Mitch did not put the original one up, just the next one. Re the environment space thing - PEH.BAT does create 6 environment variables and then destroy them. I never had a problem with it but if you have other environment variables I guess you could run out of space. I think if you type SET at a DOS prompt you get to see what is in your environment space. Anyway, add the "t1" that's T and one after the Y as a fifthe variable and see how that goes.

It is an add-on to POST/LX that inserts extra "header" stuff when you reply to a message - see the top lines here for example. It is fairly configurable. First you can have a dateline - then there is a delay-line and then the topline - most folk would only want the topline. It also will add initials in front of the ">" on the left. It's on SUPER now. Don't expect too much from it - it seems to be tricky to get working. Unfortunately I used a non-standard TempMsgFile in my batch file and docs - I have post.tmp whereas the default is POST.TMP and my PEH.BAT file requires the correct case.

I wrote it last year and got lazy about re-chacking all the options worked. You need to add the "T1" after the Y - the docs say having nothing is the same as having T1 but that's not right with the PEH.BAT you rpobably have. I fixed this when I re-uploaded to Mitch yeaterday - Mitch did not put the original one up, just the next one. Re the environment space thing - PEH.BAT does create 6 environment variables and then destroy them. I never had a problem with it but if you have other environment variables I guess you could run out of space. I think if you type SET at a DOS prompt you get to see what is in your environment space. Anyway, add the "t1" that's T and one after the Y as a fifthe variable and see how that goes.

I've had it running fine on a variety of computers, just not on an HPLX. The problems are as follows: After pressing ENTER over a .ZIP file to display its contents, it displays the archived files, but it won't permit me to -- - Copy the files out of the archive. - View a file (says "Error running the viewer 'wpview.exe'") - Edit a file in the .ZIP file. I've replaced all files from known good ones.

C. Beutler" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "M. C. Beutler" Subject: Radio Shack & other pwr supplies Hello, I've noticed a number of posts regarding some power supplies for the HP200 from Radio Shack and other sources. I would like to make a cautionary statement regarding that. I have experimented with various pcmcia cards in the HP200 and about the worst cases I found were a National Instruments GPIB interface and a MegaHertz combo modem & network adaptor. The total draw from the 12 volt supply to the HP200 was 450-470 ma, with the internal charger at "high". (100ma) BTW, the HP200 was QUITE warm! A more typical max load is my 2x unit with the Simple 33.6 modem online. This drew 320 ma @ 12 Vdc. The point here is that most of these "wall wart" cheapie supplies have little or no voltage regulation of their own, rather depending on the load they are supplying(the HP200) to pull the often very high output voltage(19-20 volts) down to approx 12 volts. If the supply has a good current capacity, the HP200 may not be sufficient load to pull the voltage down, causing the internal charger to handle a higher voltage than it was designed for. This, in turn, generates even more heat inside the palmtop. I've found that 11Vdc @400ma capacity ought to be plenty and cause the least amount of stress on the HP200 internal supply. I also decided to buy a cheap true regulated 12 volt supply for home use and use the real hp supply when away from home. (the hp supply's output is 11.8 volts when loaded) Hope this is of use to someone. regards, - **************************************************** mark beutler mycroft_h@bigfoot.com "The deadliest bullsh*t is odorless and tnansparent" William Gibson **************************************************** Goin' Postal - HP 100/200LX (v2.10alpha) REGISTERED -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 24 May 1998 23:32:51 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David C Smalley Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David C Smalley Subject: Re: Flashcard acting flaky Comments: To: leot@isdial.com Leo, I just finished messing with this little (but expensive) thing. Since, I didn't have anything to loose (as you said), I tried to Fdisk & reformat the card. No go. Running FDISK100 gave me the message "Fdisk is not needed for card in slot A:". Format at first said that track 0 was bad and hence it couldn't be formatted. I ran it again, and it said that write protection prevented it from formatting. I tried to bring the card up (and tried, and tried). I finally succeeded, but still I wasn't able to do anything more. Bummer. (15 minutes later . . .) I don't believe it. I tried to format this silly card one more time and . . . it worked! I don't know how. I don't know why. It just did. It took all of about 5 seconds. I still can't get FDISK100 to touch it. I hope that it won't matter. I ran that program (from SUPER) that returns the cluster size to 1K, and everything SEEMS to be functioning okay. Still, I will wait a few days, just to be on the safe side, before I really trust this thing. It is good the warranty is so long. This way I don't feel hard pressed to return the card to Simple Tech (whether I really need to or not) to be certain I don't screw myself. Thanks for the input guys!

I'm using a 100LX, and it doesn't have the MEM command, but I've got a utility called MAPMEM. It shows similar results. The first command.com listed increases In size when shell=3D is used to increase e-space. The second copy of command.com always shows the same memory use. My guess is that the second command.com is fired up when shelling to DOS from a DOS app, and it reverts to the default amount of e-space. I'll play around some more with this and see what turns up. -PR ------------ -------------------------------------------- ***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, 25 May 1998 10:41:41 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Bruce_Martin@MANULIFE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bruce Martin Subject: Macintosh + LX Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii pablo KIM wrote: >Anyone in this list does use HPLX with the Macintosh computer? >Can anyone send me software like TRANSFILE to transfer files between Mac >and HPLX? I'm using a Power Mac at work, and a Mac & a DOS PC at home. Like any real Mac user, I DON'T do Windows - but I do admire and appreciate the elegance of plain ol' DOS (especially when it fints in my pocket). To transfer files between a Mac and my 200LX, I simply use the built-in Datacom and a shareware modem program ZTerm 1.01. The connection is the standard HP serial cable mated to a standard Mac serial modem/printer cable. Dead simple, works like a charm and I've never had a corrupted file yet. I recall that there was a MacLink Plus version made specifically for the LXs, but I've never used it and I don't know if it's still available. If you find out, let us know.

As forusing the serial port for keyboard input I found the following: User's Guide for AccessDOS A package of public domain MS-DOS extensions for keyboard, mouse and sound access Developed by: The Trace Research and Development Center SerialKeys (See Section 2-6) Some people cannot use the keyboard and mouse at all due to a physical impairment, and must use some specially designed input device (a communication aid, an eyegaze-operated keyboard, etc.) to perform the functions of the keyboard and the mouse. SerialKeys allows you to control the keyboard and mouse functions of the computer from a special input device hooked up to the computer's serial port. This is done by sending the proper series of commands and characters from the special input device to the computer's serial port. Can this in any way help potential developers of the interface?

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII A word of warning to all palmtop typists: The space bar and enter keys on the 200LX are fairly susceptible to breakage. They're only held on by two thin tabs of plastic, and if one of these breaks, your key will become loose and floppy, and hard to type with. If the second one breaks, the key will probably fall out. Try to hit these keys in the center when typing, and not off to the side. I hit mine on the left all the time, and one day the left tab just snapped right off. Others have had similar problems with the right tab, or with the ENTER key. If it's already too late, and you have a broken key, it can be repaired with superglue, but it probably won't be as sturdy as the original key.

The user interface is not the Turbo-Vision-look like in the Turbo C++ 1.0, and it does not compile C++, but mostly because of those two reasons, it's very small and fast, which is very important for me in a machine with the limitations of our LX. Moreover, I've been using Turbo C 2.0 in my pentium desktop for many more or less simple projects for the same reasons, and it's proved to be very stable and produce good and reliable code. And when learning something from scratch, I've been always told that C is probably too 'hard' to begin with. Maybe Turbo Pascal would be a better choice for a beginner, and I think there are some versions that will run in the LX. The fact is that actually I'm so hold on C and C++ that just can't give a reliable opinion from the beginner's point of view. Regards.

It's not just a case of mistaken distribution; it's a hack. i.e. somebody modified the copyrighted, non-distributable file from the HP200LX Palmtop Bible (or whatever it was) from Japan and tried to pass it off as his own creation. As near as I've been able to tell, altCIC originated in Australia (though I never spoke to the reported Australian source, and don't know who it is, so I can't be sure). Thus, it's NOT freely distributable, any more than a copy of Windows 98 that had been modified to say "altWin98" on startup would be. -- 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: Wed, 27 May 1998 12:30:51 +1200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , katana@CLEAR.NET.NZ Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Lawrence Subject: Memory upgrade???

More like modern high carbon steel with a resin handle, even with the necessary software drivers. Both three finger salutes and removing the main batteries for a moment, do not cause the memory to vaporize.

Comments: To: katana@CLEAR.NET.NZ Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit David, None of the Times2Tech memory upgrades takes a driver, except the 32 meg. one. Prior to that change, the driver was associated with the speed upgrade. You can surely go to 6, and probably 8 meg with no special drivers. In the 32 Meg version, your 2 Meg chip is still there, but renamed F:, so you really have a 34 Meg solution. Also, T2T configured machines are NOT primadona's. I have both a 6 Meg and a 32 Meg, both double speed, and I have never had a problem which I could attribute to the modifications. I have worked myself into my share of Ctl- LShift-On's without event. In the really unlikely event that your have to say yes to the "initialize the C: Drive" question, as long as you have an uncompressed memory card with the drivers, its no big deal to fix things back up. Reloading from back-up is much more of a problem. In fact, my understanding is that if you have the 32 Meg vesion, initializing the RAM drive only wipes your old 2 Meg chip, and you may well still have a fully loaded 32 Meg drive. (Fortunately, I can not report on this with knowledge.) A double speed machine without the drivers still works. The display is just difficult to deal with. Mack even supplies a 10 or 15 line debug script which will fix matters without the driver. My recommendation is to buy as much memory as you can afford, and to give the speed upgrade consideration as well. It makes a big difference -- more than you would expect --particularly if you run macro's, or if you close applications regularly, or if you do much of anything that is processor intensive. (Of course, I have nothing to do with T2T, other than being a very happy customer.) Best of luck, whatever you do. lynn m. cavendish -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 26 May 1998 20:54:39 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jeff Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jeff Subject: Re: AOL1.6 with card modem Comments: To: Norman Wolfe In-Reply-To: <19980526223033.AAA16716@LOCALNAME> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII For what it's worth, I used an X-Jack modem and the AOL 1.6 software and was able to connect without a hitch.

Current upgrade paths: 1- 4MB upgrade (total=6MB). Sold installed and uninstalled. Just get it, open your 200LX, plug it in (assuming your model has the expansion connector already soldered on the mainboard, which seems very likely for that serial number) and go. 2- 6MB upgrade (total=8MB). Sold only installed. Very much the same than in the case of the 4;B upgrade, but little tricky soldering is required so it's sold only installed. 3- 32MB upgrade (total=34MB). Sold installed and uninstalled. Like the 4MB upgrade, plug in and go. But a software driver is needed to access the 32MB NEW drive. This is, you'll still have your old -in your words- rock-solid C: drive, plus another 32MB drive. VERY expensive at the moment. Seems that your best choice would be the 4MB upgrade. Regards.

Padin" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Edward A. Padin" Subject: Another idea for a 200LX application. I hold a lot of ascii files in my LX with all sorts of useful information. I usually get these from newsgroups or I mail them to myself from a desktop when I find something interesting while surfing. I created my own little ascii document management system that let's me keep a database of all my files categorized with an 8 char category field and a 60 character description field. This let's me find the information quickly. I am able to select a file for viewing or editing very quickly. I never need to manually update the database because it get's all the information by looking on the disk. All the documents are stored in zip files like so: win95.zip winnt.zip unix.zip cisco.zip misc.zip etc. The database program (written in Foxpro BTW) reads the first line of each file in the zip file to get the 60 char. description (I have to edit each file to make sure the description is the first line.). It uses the zip file name for the category. I can dynamically scan for files to add to zips, rename files, view files with list (like zipray), open files for editing and delete files from zips. Since I wrote this in Foxpro it would be difficult to distribute as a turnkey program. I'm also not much of a programmer so the code is very "unclean". It's also pretty slow. The program does dos calls to zip.exe and list.exe. It would be nice if someone wrote a program that does what I've described in C or assembler. I know that Zipray does some of what I've described but it can only look at one zipfile/category at a time and has no description fields. I Don't know if others would find this useful but I sure do. It's like having a large nottaker file that handles large amounts of data in a compressed format. Thanks BTW If anyone wants a copy of my code, let me know. It's ugly and uncommented but it works.

Too bad for us and the author that we can't register and pay a fee to use it. Probably worth $10-$15 for the 6k+ savings in conventional memory.

I'd recommend getting Software Carousel (available through Thaddeus 800-373-6114). It will allow you to select a seperate partition for IS and gives you a total of 100K for each of your database file sizes (if you you use an EMS driver you can get a lot more but that is another story). I use SC with IS all of the time and I have no problems about the video when I switch using SC. Also, I don't know if you have this problem with SWAPSIS but using IS and SC allows the HP to switch automatically back to the APPTMGR for alarm appointments (that way you don't have to rememember to switch back to SYSMGR everytime you go into IS). Another idea is to buy the IS version 1.0 for Windows. That way you can run IS under the Windows enviroment using the same data. You upload the IS info to the PC when you are PC based (during the day for instance) and download the IS data from your PC to the HP before you leave for home. Hope you continue to enjoy using IS. Until I started using IS I was seriously thinking about switching back to my Pilot. The Pilot is really nifty for searching and if they every got a keyboard for that device, I'd seriously think about swithcing permanently. Of course I'd miss Lotus and HPCALC (which I think is almost worth the price of the Palmtop itself).

Agenda got very slow on my 286 desktop back when I first bought it. the more data in the application, the slower it seemed to get. If you turn off some of the features like autocomplete it helps cut the lag time while entering items. For this reason I never put it on my 200LX. I see posts from others who are using it on the palmtop - so it will run. Since I didn't try it I won't comment on the useability (speed). Items are limited in size to - I don't remember exactly, but less than 255 characters I think. Anything longer is put in an item note. Infoselect (DOS) is in my opinion the best of these 3 for my uses - random info - some date stamps or ticklers for notes that require action by some deadline. Searches are fast - but limited to simply getting all notes which contain certain character strings. It is fast not complicated to use and pretty flexible. Note size is 32k or less. I own an older version of AskSam for DOS and also the first windows version and have downloaded the demo for version 5.1 (the latest). I haven't learned to use it well, so htis is just my first impression. It is good for freeform text with well evolved search features. I understand it was developed for handling research in college studies and it handles documents well. I'll leave the reporting of really using it on the HPLX to somebody else, but I think it should work fine. As to you evaluating which suites your needs, Agenda you have, Infoselect DOS (if still available) was selling for $49 from MicroLogic, I think AskSam Dos 5.1 will run you several hundred dollars ($349?) AskSam still supports their dos version and the price reflects the cost of handling this support. I asked if they still develop new DOS versions and the tech guy didn't think so. If they drop support for it the price will be reduced. Probably if you can use the features it may well be worth the price of admission to have access to tech support to get you up to speed with the product. In looking around I have seen a number of PIM type programs you might want to look at ( I'll stick with InfoSelect). I'll compile a list of the interesting ones and where I got the files and post it when I get a chance.

I think you're talking about the Nikon Coolpix 100 and this was discussed recently when some places began discounting them to $100. Several 200LX owners also had these Nikons and, sad to report, the PCMCIA was incompatible with the LX (exact reasons never uncovered), even tho the picture quality was deemed good. - 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, 27 May 1998 13:25:38 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Mitchell Hamm Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mitchell Hamm Subject: PGP and POST/LX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have been playing around with this and have been pretty soundly defeated so far. I believe the problem lies in there just not being enough memory to run PGP under POST/LX while PalEdit is running. I checked my DOSBox under POST/LX and I have about 290K. I also set up a DOS session under AppMgr and kept decreasing its size until PGP would no longer run; it needs 265K to do its thing. Since PalEdit needs 180K minimum, there doesn't seem to be any way to set PGP as an external filter in PE while under POST/LX... Even though, PGP has a command line switch (-f) that will allow you to use the UNIX-style redirects. The following line will sign and encrypt a file with your secret key: pgp -feast SCRATCH Which is exactly how you set up a PE filter and should work if there were enough memory. So this leads me to wonder if there is a way to use PGP from POST/LX --after-- a message has been composed since I seem to have enough memory without PE running. I looked in the POST/LX help doc and it wasn't really evident how such a thing could be done. Maybe some of you experts in POST/LX can lend a hand. Here is the way I envision it working: 1) You will need access to the normal PGP tasks such as clearsign, encrypt, clearsign then encrypt, and decrypt. Key management would be nice, but is not necessary. 2) After you compose a message, you highlight it or open it in POST/LX and then run the external command for clearsign. For clearsign then encrypt, you would also need to enter a list of recipients who can decrypt the message. The resulting text would then --replace-- the message body of the original message. 3) For decrypt, you would open the encrypted message then run the external command to unlock the message. The resulting text would show up as the message body of a --new-- message with same headers as the encrypted original. This would allow you to keep the encrypted version if it contained sensitive info. To simplify the interaction with PGP and its constant desire to have your pass phrase, you could have a batch file that starts POST/LX also set the PGPPASS environment variable. This is a little dangerous, but on a palmtop the risk is probably acceptable. Please give this some thought, forgive me the long message, and let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks!

They give a much longer life than my previous 950mAH NiCads (more than the expected half as much again) and they seem to be much more tolerant of being charged when not fully discharged ( i.e. no apparent memory effect = so far). One point to note is that you will really need ABC/LX to control charging= properly as the in built 6 hour high charge cycle will not get them anywhere near fully charged. As it is ABC/LX is limited to a maximum of 1= 6 hours charge which may only just be enough (as has been discussed on another thread recently). Due to the long charge required to fully charge them, I have got into the= habit of recharging overnight before they get flat, thus reducung the recharge to the night hours rather than the night hours and most of the next day.

Someone I know opened it and said that he recognized the card. In the built-in apps one just selects phone as interface. For other apps, like Goin' Postal or Nettamer, one has to run SERCTL /P in dos first. After closing you should run SERCTL /O to turn off the serial port to save batteries. The port is com1 I think, look in the manual, serctl is listed in the index. I just switched to a 200LX because it is less bulkier...

I'm still amazed (after 20 years of C programming) of the things that are legal and useful, not to mention the things that are legal but not what you intended. There used to be a lex/yacc description of C somewhere on the internet (how's that for a useless tip). Don't start from scratch. For your first compiler, you might want to try a simplified language of your own design that looks like C. Tokenize the input, then use recursive descent to handle the elements of the program. Finally, generate assembler code. Leave optimization for future work. You'll definitely learn a lot from this project. -- Jim Krist jtkrist@clark.net Anne Arundel Community College http://www.clark.net/pub/jtkrist 101 College Parkway 410 541 2524 (voice) Arnold MD 21012 USA 410 541 2445 (fax) -------------------------------------------- ***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, 28 May 1998 07:11:23 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , kilgore@PYLON.PILLAR.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stan Hall Organization: Pillar Communication Subject: HPLX Wanted Dead or Alive MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I am still looking for some working or dead HPLXs.

I have one of those (Jeteye 9510). It's been awhile since I used it, but I seem to recall being able to print off the native apps without much fuss.

PC with W95, got latest IrDA 2.0 driver/update off microsoft site. Followed the directions on one of the last pages in the booklet and the hardware seems to work. We tested with a Nokia 6110 GSM telephone and the W95 irda panel recognizes the 'phone. We have tried to use datacomm on the LX and Terminal on the pc, but not much success. We have tried different computers and different adapters with different LX's. We have tried Omnigo 700LX's, the 200LX needs a driver to make it compatible, doesn't it? Do we need a driver at all? There is talk of a Jeteye here on the list, there one needs a driver, is that to make the 200lx irda-compatible? I have managed to get rubbish across, but not always and not both ways... Settings are down to 2400, 8N1, hardware handshaking. Strange really, 3 of us working in different places, on different computers, with different backgrounds, same results. So we must be missing something... :-) I seem to remember having got a Toshiba laptop to work partly some time ago, but I don't have access to a laptop with built-in irda. By the way, we are several people here in Oslo working on trying to get this to work... I was hoping to get Transfile to connect to Filer via irda, at the moment I am using a cable... Would be nice to just put the Omnigo down and transfer! :-) Have a nice day!

What you see on the compiler market today, is done by either large groups of people and/or programming 'giants' that have *a lot* of experience behind them. And that's the case not just with C, but with any computer language compiler/interpreter. "I'm gonna make me compiler during my lunch break" just won't do it! It's ok to try, but statements like this make programming look like child's play. No hard feelings :) Nedim. P.S.

This command is for use when running programs from the DOS prompt. The built-in applications handle powering the ports automatically. /O Turns off power to the active port. Turning off the I/O ports while in the MS-DOS command processor results in significant power savings, thus extending battery life. /W Powers up and activates the wired serial port.

Your mileage may vary. My 200LX is a 32MB double-speed model, with the serial port off and charging enabled while these measurements were taken. (Except for the one that says "Idle without charging.") My meter only has 10ma resolution (at the level required by the 200LX) so the following are rounded off.

Idle w/connector and 10BaseT LAN link: 40ma Reading from LAN: 40ma Writing to LAN: 50ma The highest current draw was noticed with the Accton card inserted, with the connector plugged in and no LAN cable plugged in. Oddly, the current draw went way down when a LAN line was plugged in. I suspect that, without the LAN link, it's keeping the coaxial connector active as well as the RJ45 jack, upping the curent draw significantly. The EN2216-1 (without the coax connector) should not suffer from this problem. (I have the EN2216-2.)

That looks like a netmask IP. I got LXNNTP working last night with the packet driver supplied with Goin' Postal and it is kinda of a chore to get set up. I plan on writing about my experiences with it here on the list in the near future. As I said before I used the packet driver supplied with GP, but in the pre-GP days I used EPPPD with Pegasus mail on the plamtop. It seemed to wrok quite well. I can't comment on LXPOP, 'cause I'm not going to even try it. But from what I've seen with the newsreader I'm sure it's a nice setup. I'll write about my experiences with LXNNTP later.

The RAM in the palmtop is used for some different stuff. First off, you've got a 640K chunk taken out for main memory. That brings you down to about 1.3M. Then, miscellaneous junk preloaded onto the ramdisk by the palmtop takes another chunk out, bringing you down to about .9M or 1M. With everything else added on by yourself and Mack, it doesn't surprise me that you only have 250K left. In short, don't worry about it. You've already got 32 more megs to play with. ;) My model, also with 2M onboard, has about 250K free too since I use a flash as my main storage device, leaving most of the C: drive empty.

I got an "Out of environment space" error every time. Tried expanding the environment space with the shell=3D command. Still no luck. Removing some unneeded directories from the path line in autoexec.bat gave enough space. But - there was still the question of why didn't expanding the e-space from 256 to 4096 give enough room..? After doing some checking with a utility called "mapmem" I found that when shelling to DOS from another DOS program, the secondary command.com call that opens the new shell defaults back to 256 bytes of e-space, regardless of the setting in autoexec.bat. (unless more can be requested by the first prog).

The problem is that C and C++ are more complex than they look. If there really is a $20 ANSI C compiler that runs on the 200lx, then you're wasting your time, if you only want to write C for the 200lx. If you want to learn about compilers, define a very simple language and see what it takes to go through the entire process.

Naysayers are of course welcome to continue being such, and while the spirit of your caveats is understood as gentle warning, I'm a stubborn cuss. ;) So you may not expect "James' C" to be on SUPER anytime soon, but you can sure as heck know I'll try.

You know, I'm no electrical engineer, but I think it could probably work without any extra circuitry. The wide variation of acceptable input voltages for the 200 means the palmtop is fairly easy to please, and fortunately for us the range is right around the range of a car battery (9 to 15 volts, if I remember right.) I'm told amperage is of no concern because the power supply (at least in the palmtop) only takes what it needs. I don't know for sure, but it seems to me that the electricity found running around in my car is fairly clean (i.e., not noisy). For the palmtop's sake, it might be wise to add a smoothing capacitor, but ... Anyway, I think I'm brave enough to go down to RadioSack and just make myself one. Y'all probably could too.

I use a 14.4k PCMCIA modem & have the computer-to-modem speed set to 38400. My machine is single speed. I know that others use 28.8k, 33.6k, and maybe even 56k modems. Since one must multiply by something like 5 the modem speed to get a more true data speed, is getting anything above 14.4k overkill? It seems to me that the speed that a HPLX can get the data probably is the bottle neck; a double speed making a serious difference, of course. All this is guessing on my part. I have no experience with anything above my 14.4k. Anybody that has any evidence to the contrary, let me know. Is moving up from 14.4k desirable? Is double speeding my HPLX a necessary first move to doing that (not that I shouldn't do it anyway)?

Try changing to/from weighted pallet option if the image has too low/high contrast, respectively. 5) Finally, as mentioned elsewhere on the list, invert the image, and save as PCX version 5. You may want to try saving as a BMP also if you're using Lxpic to view since there is often little or no space saved by the pcx format, and the BMP is faster to display (slightly...). Happy imaging!

I use one with my Optoelectronics Scout frequency counter, which is much more sensitive to current and voltage spikes than the 200LX (I've blown the front end out of the Scout with a direct fused connection, and never had a similar problem with the LX series). No problems at all, and Optoelectronics recommends the RS adapter. I would have no problem running my 200LX with it and probably will, after I get around to hooking it up to my GPS. If you have lots of extra cash, The One Stop Palmtop Shop carries an industrial grade DC to DC adapter with an aluminum case.

According to the developer's manual, The 1X clock is provided by a 15.836775 MHz crystal, whose frequency is divided by two before it's feeded to the CPU.

Well, Kelly and I are still touring. We're currently in England, bound for Edinburgh, Scotland tomorrow. Just wanted to let everyone know about some of the palmtop-related things I've discovered: 1. Try to get into an airline lounge, like American Airline's "Admiral"s Club". We were delayed 12 hours! at Heathroe en route to Dublin, and I threw a fit, so they let us use the lounge. Nice. Even has modem-friendly phones. 2. The HP American charger/AC supply works great in Ireland and the UK, you only need the necessary plug adapter. 3. McGowans of Phibsboro, In Dublin, is a pub that's got great atmosphere (unless it's crowded), and has a nice calm restaurant upstairs. I had the best steak in Ireland there... Also, John McGowan, the pub owner, is an HP OmniGo 700LX user. (He was featured in a past Palmtop Paper). A nice guy, great hospitality, great food, and great Guinness! Highly recommended. John also loves to gab about the palmtops, so if you're in the neighborhood, stop by, have a steak, and bring your palmtop! 4. Internet access is tough. I had zero problems from Heathroe (in the airline lounge). I didn't use the special dataphone, I used a regular payphone with my acoustic coupler, and used CIS as my ISP. That was the only successful connection to date. I'm going through email withdrawl, it's been 6 days since I sent/received mail! I'm also pissing off my wife, because I look longingly at each pay phone and mutter, "I wonder if that would work..." Hopefully I'll have better luck in Edinburgh tomorrow... 5. Backup, backup, backup! I lost my c: drive once so far on the trip. I'd be dead unless I had my flash card backup handy. Last week, I had sent a mail message to the list saying I'd have a web page on the trip. Well, the page is written daily, but I can't update it without an internet connection. Oops... That's it.

Comments: cc: jeffj@SCOTT.NET Item Subject: Car Adapter? Jeff Possible, but risky. The battery voltage range can go rather close to the palmtop limits and that's if you have a good battery with clean contact posts etc. (The battery acts to hold down the alternator output voltage.) If you have a bad battery (or contact posts that look like furballs) the alternator output voltage could rise to dangerous levels (probably popping light bulbs too, but they're cheaper than palmtops). You can also get HUGE noisy spikes on the line, especially when starting. So the answer is, if you value your palmtop, to regulate the output. If you buy one of those things that plug into the lighter socket (sorry, they're called 'accessory outlets' in this non-smoking, politically correct world) intended for walkmans etc, with a little switch to select the voltage, aim for 9v. They're so poorly regulated (if at all) that if you measure the 9v output off-load it'll probably be nearer 12v. The palmtop load is quite a lot less than a walkman (which has a motor etc)... HTH. If we see a ad for a melted palmtop we'll know it didn't work too well (I hereby post a disclaimer!!) (BTW, still looking for a schematic for the palmtop...)

I'll experiment little more. My communication library is buffered and interrupt driven even for transmission, maybe this is messing things up a little bit, I'll have a closer look to Andreas code. I might change to a stripped down version of the library too, which is written entirely in assembler and pretty fast (which, now that I think about it, is unimportant since LXTOOLS run in the desktop). I'd like to know how many people might be interested in a DOS port of the LXTOOLS, because I really don't used them very much and if people is not interested perhaps it's not worth the trouble...

For compressed files, like downloading a .zip file, you'll do well to get over 1500 bytes/sec with a 14k4. For "real-world" text, 2200 bytes/sec would be good. For text designed for hardware compressibility (e.g., "abcabcabcabcabc...") you could get 3000 bytes/sec or more. A more relevant question is how quickly the cpu can handle data coming in from the serial or PCMCIA port. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jim Saklad mailto:jimdoc@iname.com -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 29 May 1998 08:44:06 -0700 Reply-To: Ron Zhang Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ron Zhang Subject: Re: JINIfont Comments: To: hplx@comports.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/plain; charset=us-ascii Folks, The mystery with Jinifont is solved and the first prize goes to Jim < jsaklad@welchlink.welch.jhu.edu > :-) Thanks to you all for the help.

I've had a Canon BJ10SX for about 4 years, and haven't had any problem printing. Are you trying to print from built-in apps or DOS apps? Also how are you connecting the 200LX to the printer. I use the serial cable to a S-P convertor plugged into the printer. If you're trying to print from DOS apps, make sure the serial port is on. > I have tried selecting IBMproprinter on the > 200LX, and BJ10 mode on the printer to no avail... Those settings should work fine. I use the Epson settings on both, but either way should work. > I downloaded a MS Works Dos driver from the canon > site. Will this work? what do I have to do...? You shouldn't need this. The built-in apps will ignore it, and most DOS apps have drivers for ProPrinter or Epson... > It's moments like these that you realise just > what an advance Win95 plug and play really > was!

Well... no experience yet (ordered, but haven't received my 8M 2X 200LX yet). I think the answer is BOTH! The two progs serve completely different purposes. TREMM is an EMS memory emulator, and MaxDos swaps out the SysMgr session to give RAM space to DOS apps. MaxDos can use some of the EMS memory provided by TREMM for the swap file.

With the flash card inserted current consumption is 70mA (i.e. increases = by 45mA) and does not drop (i.e. enter an idle state) The result of all this is that the flash memory card is consuming about 45mA all the time it is plugged in yet Simple Technology quote less than 1mA = consumption in the quiescent sleep mode. It would seem that the 200LX does not correctly drive this particular brand of memory card in order to= achieve the best results. Simple Technology quote about 20mA current consumption when active (reading) which, taking into account the inverter= in the 200LX which presumably generates 5V from the 2.6V battery voltage= , equates to about 40mA at the battery, which is what I am seeing.

I got lots of suggestions, but none of them had the level of simplicity that I was looking for. I wanted to choose records from my database and either print, or export to a file then open another program and print. I found an old DOS program called Avery LabelPro Version 1.61 that does exactly what I want and looks and works fantastic on the LX. It will allow you to customize different label definitions using common Avery labels, change fonts, add PCX graphics, perform mail merges, add USPS bar codes and even manage text databases. To get my little system the way I wanted it, I did a custom CSV clip in my database. I then made a system macro that will print to a CSV file in the Avery directory with the records I select. I then open LabelPro under MaxDOS and have a label defined that automatically merges that CSV file. All I have to do is pick that label definition and print it through my Transdigital card. It's pretty amazing that there's so much good DOS software out there just waiting to be re-discovered. Mitch S.U.P.E.R.

Actually, you should be able to hook your 200LX direct, but, as I mentioned in a previous post to the list, that high an input DC to the 200 will cause the charger/power supply internal to it to get rather hot. All things being equal, at best this will reduce the the lifespan of the palmtop to some degree.

Other choices are Borland Turbo C 2.0 or Turbo C++ 1.0 if you can find em. - 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: Sun, 31 May 1998 20:00:18 +1200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Stefan Lombaard Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stefan Lombaard Subject: Re: C on Palmy; IR Transmission MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit | Date: Sat, 30 May 1998 22:25:21 -0500 | From: Larry Zimmerman | Subject: C on Palmy |.... | is my only study time for the project.

Hope you guys who are "hackers" will enjoy this one! ---------- Subject: Announcement: ROBOT/LX There is a new freeware client for WWW/LX available at http://www.dasoft.com ROBOT/LX is a script driven program that lets you automate stuff on the Internet. For example, it can contact a server on the Internet, ask for the current time and set the system time of the palmtop to that time. Or it can telnet to a server and run a job on that server. Basically, it can automate about anything on the Internet that is accessable through an ASCII based protocol. ROBOT/LX is more like a "hacker tool" than an end-user application since it requires that you are able to write (simple!) scripts.

I have newton keyboard and it is OK for typing, no worse than most laptops. Touch typers may need to get use to the spacing before working on speed. Be aware of the price, they sell new for $75 most places that offer Newton accessories. Used prices can be a low as $45. The Newton CLassifieds web page or the Newton Marketplace news group are great places to find used keyboards. THey are also popular with the Palm Pilot users, which is why I bought mine. -- 73 Nick Marsh WB4SQI -------------------------------------------- ***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, 31 May 1998 20:11:56 -0700 Reply-To: nickwb4sqi@wwd.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Nick Marsh Organization: None at the moment Subject: Re: Some current draw measurements Comments: To: BriTrenth@AOL.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Brian Dnovan wrote: > > Current draw on the HP95lx. > > With nothing in the PCMCIA slot it draws about 45 mA idle > and 160 mA when processing. > > With a New Media 2400 Palm modem it draws about 200 mA idle, 340 mA > processing. > > When I first plug the card, the HP95 draws just 76 mA, but within a few > second it shoots up to 200 mA. > I went through this with a Newton MP2100 which had some means of logging internal current comsumption. Most PC card modems ran between 165ma min to 350ma max, idle curent was low, 15ma or so, added to the overall system current draw. If the 95lx draws 160ma when processing, then with a PC modem, current draw could be as high as 500ma (@33.6), no wonder batteries are short-lived in these handhelds. Max current draw in a Newton MP2100 with XJ4336 modem was about 245ma at 33.6.

The following are my experiences with using LXNNTP to read and write news articles offline on the LX. Being extremely happy with Goin' Postal for email I was looking for a solution for retrieving news articles on my LX. I has seen several postings on the list from people talking about LXNNTP and decided to give it a try. I promptly downloaded both it and PNR from Rod Whitby's web page. It's important to note that you will need the modified version of PNR availible from Rod Whitby as the version on S.U.P.E.R. will not work with LXNNTP. I opted to try to use the packet driver supplied with GP, as I had great experience using it with both Mini Telnet and Voice (an IRC program). The first night of trying to write a wattcp.cfg file proved to be too much for me and I fired off a message to the list asking for help. The help arrived in my mailbox the next morning in the form of another user's wattcp.cfg file (Wally's). I modified this file to fit the directory structure on my own LX. I then crossed my fingers fired up GP, gave GP the shell escape instruction (+) then waited for GP to shell out leaving the packet driver loaded. Once GP sheeled-out I changed directories to where I had LXNNTP and started it. This time something happened, not much but I was getting there. LXNNTP reported that there were no groups to download. I sent a email to Rod Whitby asking for help. He promptly responded by telling me that the groups should be put in a file named 'incoming.jn' in the pnr spool directory. This information was in the documentation but I had overlooked it. I got a copy of my .newrc rc file from my shell account, placed it on my LX and renamed it 'incoming.jn'. I went through all of the above procedures and this time to my delight LXNNTP reported to me that it was downloading news articles =) I went offline, read my mail in GP then went to the System Manager where I had previously installed PNRTI and PNR. I ran PNRTI and it also appeared to be doing something. I the fired-up PNR and 'sure nuff' there were newsgroups there =) My overall impression of LXNNTP combined with the modified version of PNR is quite a good one. It's very important to read the docs, I didn't and it caused me a lot of heartache. Now that I've got it configured properly everything works great! On my want list for LXNNTP is the ability to subscribe/unsubscribe from newsgroups from within PNR and the ability to 'catch up' individual groups would be a real bonus. LXNNTP will allow you to 'catch-up' the newsgroups from the command line, but it requires that you 'catch-up' all the groups, there is no option for individual groups. With Goin' Postal I have, in my opinion, the best email software for the palmtop. With the addition of LXNNTP to my C: drive my 200LX just got even more powerful. The packet driver of GP supports GP, LXNNTP, LXFTP, Mini Telnet, Voice (IRC), LXPING and I'm sure there are other PPP applications which I'm unaware. Rod Whitby is to be commended for his work on making LXNNTP available to the palmtop community, especially since it's _free_. I would encourage everyone on the list to give it a try, but be forewarned, it's a bit trick to get set-up, at least it was for me. Once everything is configured correctly it works great.
