The point of my question was how much can the HPLX (double-speeded and not) handle, as far as computer to modem speed. And hence, is it worthwhile to get a faster modem (assuming the palmtop can't handle the data fast enough).

As has been said, the setup isn't a streamlined affair, but once it is set up right, the work is done. It then works beautifully. My major problem with setting it up involved a specific situation with my password. It contained a character that was reserved for PPPDs use to comment out the remainer of a line. If I had used the debugging feature earlier (instead of just fiddling with the *.CFG files blindly), I would have saved myself (and those that answered my pleas for help) a lot of grief. The solution was simple, once the problem was known. With that problem solved, the configuration and script files given out by Rod (the author) and Tom Hoover both worked great. Rod's version of PNR is splendid. It is wonderful not having to drop to DOS (as I usually did with Net-Tamer) just to read newsgroup articles and email). Not only that, but there is plenty of memory to run many other apps at the same time. I haven't (as many seemingly have) tried using PE as an editor, but I find using MEMO (as it is defaulted) perfectly fine.

The email, newsgroup files, temp working files, cache, download etc. can be put anywhere you want.

The config files want to be in the same directory. And, I think the help files want to be there, too.

Has anyone tried these in the -> LX? -> -> John -> Well, I predict you are going to hit one of the record reply counts on this one... So, how much do they cost, what is availability, etc.? Where is Batteries Plus, anyway? Cautionary note: The mAH rating on any kind of battery can be VERY misleading. When a manufacturer assigns an Amp Hour rating, it is based on discharge rate vs time. For example, if I have a 1Ah battery, I may have tested that battery at a 50mA discharge for 20 hours to arrive at that figure. If the same battery is tested at 200mA discharge, I may only see 2.5 hrs of runtime till the battery has hit its fully discharged voltage rating. As you can see, the low discharge rate test is meaningless for a real world application. Generally, an honest manufacturer will state how long the discharge time was for the Ah rating they have assigned. A much more realistic rating is "Watts per Cell", which tells you how much total energy the battery can deliver before fully discharged. For instance, if I have a battery that will deliver 200mA for 5hrs and the above example battery, the 2nd will have a greater watts/cell, therefore more "usable" power even though they would have the same "amp hour" rating. This is an old game the battery companies have played for years, somewhat akin to the 1970's when the stereo manufacturers would rate an amplifier's output in peak envelope power rather than RMS power.

Performance is only slightly slower than the internal drive (C:), and my batteries (Energizer Lithiums) need to be replaced about a week sooner than without the card. I average an hour or so a day of accessing the card. A pair of the batteries will last 5-6 weeks. If you decide to go with it, I'd STRONGLY recommend getting the desktop PC card reader. It costs about $100.00 for the internal version (here in the US) and makes transferring files and backing up so simple that I'll never go back to a cable again.

(I don't know that there are any in Chicago!) The chains are probably a 15-20 minute cab ride, but you better make sure about getting back to the hotel. It is not an area that you can just stick your hand out and yell "TAXI". In fact I am not sure how easy it is to get a cab at the hotel. You are near the Woodfield Mall which is a great shopping mall, and there may be a shuttle from the hotel. There are no computer stores there, however. As fas as Service Merchandise, you may have to wait until you get there. I don't know if there is one nearby.

PMPO stands for "Peak Music Power Output". An even more misleading term. It refers to what the amp can put out max for some tiny amount of time (like microseconds). This supposedly shows what the amp can do during a "music peak". In the real world, this never happens, since no musical note lasts such a short time. - **************************************************** mark beutler mycroft_h@bigfoot.com "You live and learn.

It is not intended to be an advertisement as much as it is a general statement of functionality to interested parties. > Simple and Kingston are the only companies with high capacity, dual voltage cards on the market at the moment, other than SanDisk. Viking has not begun production of them. > Our experience to date is that the Simple cards draw less power and will work with the built in ROM driver on the 200LX. They will work with the 100LX and the AceCard driver posted here from time to time. The cards will also work in OmniBook 425/430/530 series notebooks, but the 300 cannot recognize cards in excess of 40MB due to a different BIOS and card driver. The AceCard driver might work, be we do not support it. > Card capacities are UNCOMPRESSED but will work with compression, such as Stacker 3/4.0. Note that compression will slow down the card's performance somewhat and will increase the amount of power consumed during write/erase operations. > Transfer rates from card to 200LX memory and read times are approximately the same as from the 200LX's internal memory. Read-only operations are faster by a factor of 1.5-2.0 times because of the ATA interface. > The cards do have a minor impact on battery life, though not significant. The extent of the impact depends on the number of write/erase cycles performed and the size of the files accessed. The Simple cards generally consume 0.6mA in sleep mode and use 22-34mA in each write/erase cycle, per Simple's specifications. > The smaller 16, 24 and 32MB cards are actually CompactFlash cards that are shipped with a Type 2 PC Card adapter. They can be used in digital cameras that have a CF Card slot or notebook/desktop computer similarly equipped. No additional drivers are necessary. > Effective 08Jun98, we will begin shipping 48MB CF cards with a PC Card adapter, too. > Larger capacity cards such as 96/160MB cards are only available in a PC Card format. These can be used in any digital camera with a PC Card slot or notebook/desktop computers similarly equipped. > A desktop PC Card docking station is available for $119 from Simple Technology. There is an internal and external version available. The Simple Station will work with any desktop system provided a free ISA slot is available. It will support Win 3.x, 95, 98, NT and CE. Systems that do not have Plug'n'Play capability can use the Card and Socket Services drivers provided with the Simple Station. > Simple's 33.6 modem is also 200LX compatible. We do not know if it will work with the 100LX as there is some question as to the ROM driver. Nevertheless, the Simple modem is low power (175mA) and has been reported by users to be compatible with the 200LX. > Shore Systems resells both Simple cards and other products such as the Simple Station and modems. We are located in Belmont Shore, CA and work closely with Simple and Viking on development of products for handheld computers, including all HP palmtops. Please contact us privately via email, not this forum, for more information. -----Original Message----- From: Stefan Lombaard To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU Date: 02 June, 1998 01:09 Subject: Re: Simple Tech Flash card >>Date: Sun, 31 May 1998 16:09:40 -0400 >>From: John McDonald >>Subject: Re: Simple Tech Flash card >> >>If you decide to go with it, I'd STRONGLY recommend getting the desktop >>PC card reader.

There really wouldent be a quick fix for that. From what I've seen, it appears that the power supply on the 200LX is rather immune to blows from outside sources. I recall hearing about a list member plugging an adapter with an AC output (!) into a 100LX. It fried the adapter-in side of the power supply, but nothing else. I do know that Mack will fix power supplies, so it'd be worth a shot to see if he could do anything about it. If so, it'd be cheaper than replacing the palmtop. It'd almost be cheaper than buying an email client grammar checker.

It talks about a package called "En Route North America", which can give turn-by-turn directions. Unfortunately, it runs on the Psion Series 5. I checked Psion's web site to see if it can be run on the HP200LX. However, I couldn't even find any reference to it. Does anyone have a clue? It would be cool if I could get it as a companion to Automap. Thanks.

You might find a DOS version but it would be pretty unlikely I fear. There is a very compact route planner from a Dutch company , product under the name AND-route; but it is Win 95 only. All of UK is just 5Mb (though it comes on a CD!). I assume that this kind of thing would not run on Win 3.0 on an LX. What is the difference between Win 3.0 and 3.1 wrt the applications that run ?

Okay, I've been holding off on asking my question here, because it's a little out of place (after all, how many A-h does a LX-200 power source really need to have for a plane trip? even a long one?)... but my LX-200 has a big brother that eats power like there's no tomorrow. So... Does anyone know whether it's okay to bring a sealed lead acid battery onto an airplane? Looking around the web, I found the following which implies that it isn't, at least not if you are planning to use it: http://parentzone.com/health/distrav2.htm ¨ 3. Unsealed batteries must be specially packed for shipment. Sealed, ¨ certified, lead-acid or gel-cell batteries are more acceptable but ¨ must also be disconnected and the terminals taped for transportation. ¨ Check with each carrier. This kind of sucks because you can get a 5lb, 5 Amp, 12V battery for a little over $18 (http://shop.media3.net/acb2/showdetl.cfm?&DID=18&Product_ID=1425&CATID=76). The weight to A-h ration is a little low, but the price sure is right. On the other hand, http://www.ljextra.com/ltpn/september97/p16batteries.html ("Lawyers who need up to 10 hours of non-stop battery power will be interested in the Portable Power Pack from 1-800-Batteries"), followed by http://www.800batteries.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce/;display/item?prrfnbr=13650&pr menbr=1 (1-800-Batteries Portable Power Pack, Voltage: 12.00, Type: Lead Acid, mAmps: 5000, Price: $179.00) would lead me to believe that lead acid batteries ARE allowed on airplanes.

However I recently purchased a 32Mb compact Flash card with a PCMCIA adapter, made by Simple Technology. Generally it worked fairly well once I got an acecard driver to let the 100lx communicate with it. However, I have had some troubling problems virtually since day one. 1) If the battery voltage, as indicated by the setup window, is in the 2.48-2.53v range, I get intermittent I/O errors. Below 2.48v the card cannot be read even with a hard boot. When the voltage is above 2.53v I can get an occasional I/O error(in some cases it may be because I pressed a key while it was reading the card). This morning it would not read the card with the voltage above 2.83v. A hard boot was required to access the card. Has been OK the rest of today. I have used the acecard drivers Ver 2.01 and 2.01J, they both seem to work the same. If anyone else is using the Simple Technology XXMb Flash card on an HP100lx I would like to know what your experience has been and what driver that you may be using! I have had suggested the use of an Accurite Flash card driver, but have not been able to locate one. If anyone has or knows where to find this driver, please contact me at "jebuford@mail.hac.com". I welcome any other suggestions. I can live with this BUT it can be very inconvenient waiting for my >2000 entry phonebook to load after a hard boot(~10min). 2)I FOUND A NEW CRACK!!!!! My 100lx is showing a crack at the outside top edge of the barrel portion that surrounds the friction clutch on the RH hinge(under the cap). I repaired the original crack(in the customary place, just above the RH hinge parallel to the length of the palmtop from about 5mm to about 15mm in. This was repaired with super glue more than 4 years ago and has been fine. I am in the process of gluing this new crack with super glue, however this point is under constant pressure from the spring in the friction clutch and I'm not certain that this will hold. Will let the list know! I compared the hinges, under a stereo scope at 10X, on my 100lx with a 200lx/2Mb SN#SG55XXXX. The 200lx shows no sign of any cracking anywhere in/around that hinge. Also the shape of the barrel portion of the 200lx where the new crack is on my 100lx is MUCH more substantial. This 200lx has not been used very much as the screen is broken. The Hinge is MUCH stiffer than my 100lx. Any help appreciated!!! I have been on the list only about 1 month and am continually astounded at the WEALTH of information on a daily basis and in the archives!!!

I have, however, heard of somebody else having this problem... perhaps there was a bad batch of cards? Or perhaps certain LX's (I'm using a 200LX, BTW, speed doubled and 32MB C: drive) are particularly sensitive to current draw? You might want to try sending yours back for warranty replacement and see if the new one fixes this... The only thing I've noticed about the Simple Tech cards is that they cause a bit of a surge (I think it was up to 50-60ma extra) when you first insert them, and then quickly settle down to their regular operating current. This is not unlike other cards I've tested... most of them seem to initially draw a high level of current, then quickly settle back down. -- 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, 3 Jun 1998 21:34:53 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , sponsor@FTEL.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "A.

Please be aware that D&A cannot provide support for them! If they work for you: fine. If they don't: don't use them. So here the first one: If you put Font1=3Dc:\www\hv\luhs13b.hfn Font2=3Dc:\www\hv\luhs13n.hfn into the ÝSYSTEM¨ section of POST.CFG, you add additional fonts that can be used in the message view of POST/LX. You can add as many fonts as you like (Font3, Font4 etc.) The font files itself must be of HFN type, i.e. the same type of font files that you can use with HV and some other PAL applications. To access those additional fonts, press the ZOOM key (Fn-Space). The new fonts will appear in addition to the 3 built-in fonts. Note that they need memory, so if you get an "Out of Memory" message, it won't work for you. Have fun!

Is the statement below for really and truly? Just a while ago I asked how fast a HPLX (single speed as well as doubled) could deal with data. I have a single speed 100lx and a 14.4k PCMCIA modem. I set the computer-to-modem speed at 38400. When I transfer with filer to my desktop the connection is set at 115k. I haven't done any serious testing, but have had no problems with these setups. I figured the faster (without error) the better. The point I wanted to gain insight to was, does a modem faster than 14.4k benefit a HPLX (single speed or doubled). Also, is the bottleneck the palmtop, the software used, or the modem. What would give the best gain (as far as transmission speed), speed doubling the palmtop, getting the most capable comm software (as far as speed goes), or getting a faster modem.

One application I have always wanted to see for the HP/LX was a learning remote control with macro record and timed playback capability, that would allow you to define a sequience of remote keypresses that would be played back at a fixed and/or repeating time. You could use this to tape video from different channels if you have a cable box or satellite reciever, or drive your stereo to tape audio from the radio!

I have two questions though. 1) Is there a way to force TurboC to work with two colors? Many of the things that are going on are barely legible because they're in a color which doesn't translate well to LCD. 2) TurboC lets you shell to DOS on a PC so you can run your program without leaving the "window" (is that an IDE)?.

In Turbo C 2.0 there's a program called TCINST which will let you customize colors. Unfortunately, there's not a LCD or monochrome preset, so, you'll have to configure all colors manually. From Turbo C++ 1.0 on, color customization is done from the options menu within the IDE.

Comments: To: Cavendishl MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I'll have to certify the awesome reliablilty of the 32MB upgrade. It is killer. I'm currently in the UK on vacation, and I ran my main batts down using my PCMCIA modem (oops). When I pulled the main AAs out, the LX made a screaming sound. I quickly swapped batteries, but I got the "RAM drive initialized" message. My stomach was in my throat... but I remembered I'd had a recent backup to my Flash Card of the necessary drivers, along with my boot files. I just popped in the flash, did a ctrl-alt-del, and up came the palmtop, along with all the data on the 32MB partition! Then I just copied the boot files and drivers to the 1MB F:(my original C:), then removed the flash and rebooted one more time. All better. I can't emphasize enough the value of even a small flash disk... and the 32MB upgrade is WAY more robust and reliable than the original HP stuff. This is, however, my own opinion. I'm not affiliated with T2T in any way, except a really happy customer.

One hard to find one is BackSpace while in MS-Dos Executive, backs you up one directory, and Ctrl + Drive letter changes the drive. Paint, however, has some hard to find moves. It is FULLY keyboard friendly, so you can do anything without a mouse but free-form scribbling. Tip: try pressing Enter after selecting tools (with tab) I still can't get mine (version 2.03) to print cleanly from the palmtop via a serial <-> parallel converter or through a serial printer. I usually transfer the files to a pc and print from there. I tried version 3.0 but it was no better at printing and I didn't like the extra space going to progam manager. BTW, you can run MS-Dos Executive in 3.0 if you prefer the interface. (It is bundled in the 3.0 disks) If I am going to be away from my machines and need to print, I carry a floppy with FX 2.0 (Fast Lynx) so I can borrow a PC, insert the floppy, run FX (which runs in Dos, 95 & NT) run fx on the palmtop, disconnect the PC's mouse if it is on com1 or com2 & connect the palmtops cable to transfer the files, takes about as long to read as to do. I have a mac cable too, but have to resort to comms packages & transfer to and from macs is pretty laborious... -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 4 Jun 1998 06:28:35 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Mitchell Hamm Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mitchell Hamm Subject: Radio Shack Bargain MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I don't know if this little closeout is company wide, but I found Radio Shack's "International Telephone Adapters" (Cat.

Let's only talk modems. The palmtop can at most handle about 19200, single speed, and about 22,000-25,000 double speed. You can set you modem to go at 500,000,000 baud, but it is likely going to work at the maximum the palmtop can handle. The higher speeds are no a waffle, it is just not terribly well measured, but some observations have been performed and published. There was even one measurement at 30,019baud. Let's be realistic, in most cases you'll get about 22,000 or thereabouts. > The point I wanted to gain insight to was, does a modem faster than = 14.4k > benefit a HPLX (single speed or doubled). Also, is the bottleneck the Yes, you can probably get a little bit more than 14.4 on a single speed. I used to get about 18,000, but not repeated, just sometimes. > palmtop, the software used, or the modem. What would give the best gain > (as far as transmission speed), speed doubling the palmtop, getting the > most capable comm software (as far as speed goes), or getting a faster > modem. Now we are into "let's get another hair out of that". Well, double everything, get the most, the fastest, you'll gain some. And pay quite a bit with $$$. If all you are trying to do is get faster modem communications, I suggest that the double speeding alone, helps alleviate some, but DEFINITELY not all the bottlenek, which is hardware, and not changeable at this time. With both, faster modem and faster machine you will gain some more. If it was me, I'd decide like this: Speed upgrade is what $75? And it affects ALL applications running. It nearly doubles the palmtop speed. Modem upgrade is 125-180 depending on the mode (I am thinking 33.6, if you can even find them) and it affects exactly one type application (data communication type) where you spend maybe 15% of the time? And then you only gain a 33% advantage from 14.4, if that. I occasionaly use a 2400 modem to just login and get email, when I am far from power source. It is a lowpoke, sure, but totally adequate. Browsing with it is like having a hesitant dentist pull your teeth! :) Good luck. I am sure I confused you! :) Avi M.

My problem is I think ver 3.5 is the latest version that will run on the 200lx ( I have a stock 4mg unit ). The manual for ver 4.0 states system requirements as a "100% IBM compatible, protected-mode capable 80286,80386,or 80486 personal computer with a hard disk and a floppy drive" The other requirements are dos 3.3 or higher, cga screen, etc. The 200lx meets every requirement but the protected-mode (I think). My question. Is the protected-mode thing keeping me from running this app or is the 200lx not enough machine for this version of paradox and is there any way around this. It would be great to use this app on the 200lx, it is an app we use every day at the office. Thanks in Advance for any input.

The answer seems to be that the 200LX has the newer driver, but the 100LX needs the acecard.com driver that came with the ACE doubleflash cards. -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: Thu, 4 Jun 1998 10:40:00 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Tim S."

There is a program called tcinstal that comes with the compiler and lets you set such things. I don't remember if it came with version 1.0, but I think it did. If not, there might be a command line option. I used Turbo C 1.0 for quite a while on a Compaq that thought it was CGA but was really mono, kind of like the palmtop.

You don't have to shell to dos to run your program. There is a run command that lets you run it from within the ide. This works fine until the program needs a lot of memory. At that point, you'll learn to love the command line compiler. > Finally, am I spinning my wheels even trying to learn this language?

I suspect the days of user programmable computers are numbered. But C and it's big brother c++ will be in big demand for a long time to come. They'll probably outlast Java and the others, which will probably be replaced by even higher level languages.

I would expect that a major limitation would be the cpu itself. In the XT days using an 8 mhz Compaq we were able to do terminal emulation at 4800 bps reliably but not at 9600. This was partly due to an inefficient terminal program we were forced to use. With a better program we could do 9600 baud but not 19200. Terminal emulation needs a lot of processing. Of course this was in the days of unbuffered uarts, too. We had no trouble transferring files between computers at 115,200 bps. That was without terminal emulation.

I hope to send these machines with our field crews into the wilderness next week. They will download GPS location data onto the palmtops, a process we do on a PC when the crews are closer to civilization. I am well-versed in DOS but know nothing about palmtops or Flash Disks. I am under the gun to get this going so I am looking for some guidance in the following areas: I. Palmtop-to-PC: I need to put "load.exe" (a DOS program) on the palmtop. How do I get the palmtop to talk to my PC so I can do this? I have attached the serial cable and tried to establish connection (via Filer|Communications) but it won't recognize a connection. I did not fiddle with the "Remote Settings." Can I copy from PC to palmtop and vice-versa using what is "standard" software on the palmtop? Should the PC be running DOS? I don't want anything fancy here, just to be able to copy files back and forth. II. Drive designations and Uses: With the Flash Disk in place, it appears to be referred to as drive A: *and* drive E: (!). What is B:? Is C: RAM? If so, does everything on C: go away when power is off? Also, is this (C:) where my program run (like RAM on a PC)? Looks like D: is ROM (where did I see that?); thus I cannot edit my autoexec and config? What is G:? III.Bootup: Can I use the FlashDisk to be an "emergency startup disk" (like "booting from A:" on a PC)? If so, will "copy" work or are there "hidden files"? Also, how do I restore the goodies to D:? IV. Care of Equip. I have read about the hinge crack so will advice the crews to go easy on opening & closing. Should the FlashCard be left in or out or does it matter? What is proper care of a Flash Card? *T*IA for any help and suggestions. I have a lot more to learn about these gizmos--already I have a bunch of bookmarked sites to revisit on the net--but need to get the nitty gritty handled first...

On boot, the LX first looks for autoexec.bat + config.sys on the C drive and if it doesn't find it there, it uses the one on drive D (ROM). This means that if you want to alter the startup files, place them on drive C (it might also work if you place them on the flash disk, but I'm not sure (don't have flashcards myself)). > What is G:?

It will then ask you if you want to initialize the ramdrive. If you answer YES, it will destroy the contents of drive C (or rather, it will initialize it as if it was the first time you turned on the LX - you lose all files on drive C).

I have mine set up to present my main Netcom dialups that I use while traveling as well as the direct serial connection to my Linux machine. When I select a menu item I see the selection show up in the upper menu bar. This all works good. When I leave POST/LX and then re-start, the connection has changed back to the previous one which is the one that the WWW/LX setup application shows. The menu setting doesn't seem to have any effect on WWW/LX or any memory about its state. Is this correct? Also, the docs state that you can add something like: Home=3DDial=3D0123456 Office=3DDial=3D01234567 What exactly does this do? How does the machine know which dialup script to use?

Very interesting indeed! For those that don't know, it's a little docking platform with a serial/parallel converter in it. Inside the board says "FAXMODEM PCB" and there are a bunch of unpopulated areas including one that looks like it would hold a speaker and one that probably holds a modem module. Hmm.. The serial connector is a bit of a surprise and disapointment. I thought I'd find some magic part number but it's just an HP cable cut and hacked with a dremel tool or something. Also, only 3 data wires are used! I've never heard of them coming out with a modem version and maybe that's why? (or maybe it's like most things electronic these days, by the time the board was etched the modem modules were probably no longer available!). Actually, the reason for the limited wires on the serial just hit me - this thing has "100LX Version" stickers on it. Obviously it was originally designed for the 95LX and they just changed the connector, yet the PCB still only supports the few 95LX pins. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 4 Jun 1998 16:56:09 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , sponsor@FTEL.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "A.

This will be picked up for _that_ specific time you go online. It is not an edit and change of WWW.CFG. Use WWWSETUP.EXE for that. > When I leave POST/LX and then re-start, the connection has changed > back to the previous one which is the one that the WWW/LX setup > application shows. The menu setting doesn't seem to have any effect on > WWW/LX or any memory about its state. Is this correct? Yes, because when you run WWW.EXE it uses WWW.CFG when you specified _which_ setup to use. ÝNote: I indent all my lines by one space - it NOT valid in the CFG files!¨ In the ÝWWW¨ section in POST.CFG you specify the pair displayname=3Dsetupname But if in that particular setup you want to override a value such as Dial, yyou can specify the overriding value here. Go back to the command line parameters of WWW.EXE (not Post.EXE) You can specify overrides to the default (or chosen setup). So say my setup says ÝXYZ_ISP¨ ... ... ... Dial=3D555 212 1111 ... That is the number that will be dialled when I run WWW.EXE and XYZ_ISP is my chosen setup. But I can run WWW.EXE like this: www Dial=3D2221113333 And the number that will be dialled will be 2221113333, not 5552121111. Now carry the same mechanism to override certain parameters in a Setup to POST. In POST.CFG in section ÝWWW¨, you have ÝWWW¨ BlahISP=3DXYZ_ISP Dial=3D7778889999 Now, with Shift F5 you will select BlahISP, so that Post tells WWW.EXE to use XYZ_ISP Setup form WWW.CFG, and oh, BTW, override the Dial string in ÝXYZ_ISP¨ (which is now 5552121111), will be replaced with 7778889999.

They will download GPS location data onto the palmtops, a process we do on a PC when the crews are closer to civilization. I am well-versed in DOS but know nothing about palmtops or Flash Disks. I am under the gun to get this going so I am looking for some guidance in the following areas: I. Palmtop-to-PC: I need to put =22load.exe=22 (a DOS program) on the palmtop. How do I get the palmtop to talk to my PC so I can do this? I have attached the serial cable and tried to establish connection (via Filer=7CCommunications) but it won=27t recognize a connection. I did not fiddle with the =22Remote Settings.=22 Can I copy from PC to palmtop and vice-versa using what is =22standard=22 software on the palmtop? Should = the PC be running DOS? I don=27t want anything fancy here, just to be able to copy files back and forth. I=27ve used the teminal software in Windows 3.1, 95, OS/2 (ZOC), Telix, = LapLink V3 (the one I use at the moment). If you use the terminal programs = along with the one built into the LX (If I remember correctly, it=27s Ctrl = and one of the Blue-keys) then use Z-Modem to send/Recieve the file. II. Drive designations and Uses: With the Flash Disk in place, it appears to be referred to as drive A: *and* drive E: (=21). What is B:? Is C: RAM? If so, does everything on C: go away when power is off? Also, is this (C:) where my program run (like RAM on a PC)? Looks like D: is ROM (where did I see that?); thus I cannot edit my autoexec and config? What is G:? A: is reassigned E: - that=27s why you can use both. C: is a Ramdisk, with battery backup so you don=27t loose your data when = you power down. D: is ROM - if you want ot edit Config.sys and Autoexec.bat, copy them to = the C: drive using Filer III.Bootup: Can I use the FlashDisk to be an =22emergency startup disk=22 (like = =22booting from A:=22 on a PC)? If so, will =22copy=22 work or are there =22hidden files=22? Also, how do I restore the goodies to D:? Yes. Copy Config and Autoexec to A: then alter the Boot options (press Alt = when you see the message after a =22three finger salute=22 (Ctl-Alt-Del) - = well known to Windows users :) IV. Care of Equip. I have read about the hinge crack so will advice the crews to go easy on opening & closing. Should the FlashCard be left in or out or does it matter? What is proper care of a Flash Card? *T*IA for any help and suggestions. I have a lot more to learn about these gizmos--already I have a bunch of bookmarked sites to revisit on the net--but need to get the nitty gritty handled first...

You may = all recall a couple of frustrated messages from here about my inability to = get epppd.exe to load. It finally transpired that the "connect" line in pppd.cfg, which contains a call to chat.exe, failed when presented with a path to chat.exe. I changed the line to read: connect "chat -v -f chatscr" and all was well! You may notice that I've removed the -r switch to set reporting on - it doesn't seem necessary now it's all working OK.

I apologize in advance. = Usually I end up begging info from the always helpful and often briallian= t people who grace this list. Maybe someone will get some use out of these= ideas for modem connections overseas. Heck, even back home (USA) there a= re places that are hard to plug into. Everyone knows or has heard about the difficulty of getting plugged into = a hotel telephone outlet esp in older hotel properties or less advanced countries. Add to this the plethora of connection methods and you can ju= st go crazy trying to connect. I won't even get into electrical outlets and= stepdown transformers (220 to 110v). Of course you can go the Tele-Adapt route but I thought the prices they charge for telephone plug adaptors was pretty outrageous especially if you're able to walk around whatever city you find yourself in and buy the= m for a buck or two. I bought an adaptor for a buck at the KMart in Prague= for example. It's about $6.00 from Tele=3DAdapt. Don't forget to ask the= concierge for adaptors either. That's part of the price you pay for the= room anyway. Forget about this though in many of the renowned ex-Soviet states though. So, over the years I have developed a kit that I can tailor to meet my needs. This is what I usually carry: Konnex acoustic coupler A short cable with RJ11 and 4 micro alligator clips at the ends (how to below) A short cable with RJ11 and RJ45 (I think that's the designator - they ar= e the flatter, newer modular plug) at the ends. A retractable telephone cable spool or one of the cassette sized tel cabl= es which rewinds into itself. This is to use with the two cables above. The appropriate telephone plug adaptor if known. Spare 14.4 modem (Bought an XJack/Gateway from Marine Park Electronics i= n NYC for $19.99 except the sobs charged me $20 for shipping to a WDC address! Caveat Emptor with these clowns.) A female/female plug connector to connect the short cable with the spool= or cassette above. = IBM modem voltage tester = One plug two outlet T shape plug adaptor. This in case you want to retai= n the telephone set as you might have to do manual dial to get out first wi= th some programs. Test first. Zelco 2 aaa flashlight. Not sure if this the one Mitch likes or not. It= has the wraparound gooseneck with lamp on the end. I tried the PCL Trave= l Light and Clip but it was just too big and unwieldy. But it is kind of cool. Small Screwdriver kit (Bought a black plastic kit not much bigger than a pack of matches which has a head and 4 bits for about $5 someplace.) = Alternatively, a Leatherman tool/Swiss Army knife/ or your entire Sears tool kit can be useful. Some cable tapes to keep the stuff from becoming a mess of spaghetti. I like the double sided velcro stuff. Sometimes I carry the ac adaptor. Short trip i just use batteries. Out = of the way place I bring it along with an extension cord and yet more electrical outlet adaptors. Probably a website which lists this somewhere= but since I don't have www access, it was, initially at least, trial and= error for me. I used to store this stuff in those toiletry kits the airlines give out. = (The Saudi airlines had great ones! But that's a steep price to pay )= = Lately I've been using a Case Logic (3.5 x 8 in / 11.5 x 24 cm) padded ki= t which only cost about $10. It has spaces for PC Cards which I did not fi= nd useful. To this case I added lots of velcro and velcroed in the flashlight, cassette tel cable, T plug, cable tapes. The palmtop fits i= n there nicely and you can even jam some gear into but I prefer to make it the tool kit and use the HP while enroute anyway. Like most overly obsessive HP'ers, I have 3-4 cases for it. In newer hotels, you'll find many with the new RJ-45 (I think it's called= ) for their data connections. It's been my experience that this data outle= t is usually okay when checked by the IBM tester whereas the telephone outl= et is over (usually b/c it's a PBX or other system). I've seen these in Muscat and Tel Aviv. In older hotels and such, you can clip your alligator clips into the sock= et which sometimes is hanging off the wall making it fairly easy to do so. = Always check your connection with the IBM tester. The tel cable colors a= re nearly meaningless as there is no universal standard. Usually you have t= o try a couple of combinations. I have used the Konnexx to get my email from a telephone booth as well in= Amsterdam. Hotels, esp in Europe, have connect charges from the hotel fo= r 6 sec increments in addition to the cost of the call. A huge rip-off in = my humble opinion. Hence the phone booth or telephone kiosk option. Don't forget the at3 command to shut down the "foreign" dial tone which some modems don't recognize. = The Konexx also works on PBX systems since you simply place the coupler over the telephone handset. I've hit 28.8 on occasions with this. YMMV.= Anyway, some ideas: I bought a telephone cable kit for about $12-15 from Wal-Mart which includes the "tel cable pliers", modular RJ-11 plugs (this is the kind we= use in the USA for the most part) and some cable. The pliers strips the telephone cable and crimps the modular plug onto it. I made several. Th= e two above seem to cover most and I kept them short -- 6-10 inches (18 cm= =3D 6 in) in length to keep bulk down since they connect to the spool or cassette of tel cable via a female/female plug. I had heard about an alligator clip a few years back and have used this even in European 4-5 star hotels with crummy telephone support. Some places have "Business Centers" which are sometimes about as useful as the "Gyms" with one beat = up stationary bicycle. Anyway, people get real nervous if you start pulling= wires out of the wall. So be neat and put it all back together again. = Admittedly, things have gotten much better in the past few years but ther= e are still some remarkably communication unfriendly places in countries where you'd expect much more. (No names to protect the innocent plus I'm= not wearing flame retardant underwear.) Hope this helps a bit.

They seem so common, yet I haven't heard of anyone mentioning them. 1. While working in (any) database the highlight goes on and one can delete a lot of stuff not intended. Or when doing numbers, the highlight goes on and you gotta muck around a bit to get back to normal. 1a. While I can DELete a number of records, I can't highlight a group of records to copy to another database. 2. Can't get the CAPITALs (sft/CAPs) key to stick. Can't type in CAPITALs without holding down the shift key. Has anyone encountered these minor problems? I've been living with this since day one.

Andreas and Avi, I'd love to know how to feed POST/LX a full "folder" file (*.I) and have it make the index... the idea being to connect with POST/LX, send my outbound via SMTP (shouldn't be too much, so the plaintext transmission is OK), then use the telnet external to run a server-side script to create a compressed *.I folder file, then the ftp external to get the file, then a DOS shell to unzip and put it in place. Then back to POST/LX to look at the messages. In a perfect world you could append messages to an existing *.I file instead of replacing it. It would be nice to use similar tricks for NNTP news groups. For those with direct UNIX shell access and zmodem/xmodem capability, definitely check out PNR 1.2 at http://www.iinet.net.au/~muzza/hplx.html as PNR version 2.x is POP3-only, which Rod Whitby thinks is an improvement but I disagree; even with cheap phone calls I have better things to do with my time and batteries. ;-) -Peter -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 5 Jun 1998 23:25:43 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Israel Tokayer Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Israel Tokayer Subject: Re: Car Adapter?

They have local nodes in hundreds of cities all over the world. Their monthly fee is $9.95 and you get 5 hours connect time. I do not suggest to use _their_ email, but only connect to the internet locally where you are through CIS, then let Post/LX access (over internet) your email at you ISP in the US. I did it many times when travelling, either inside the US, or abroad. The 5 hours is pretty good if all you do is grab email, and reply offline. I was posting here last year when I was on a trip in Europe, calling Compuserve local nodes at minimal cost. I am no fan of CIS and they got plenty of my displeasure with their services, but in terms of coverage they everyone. IBMNET is second. But a substantially lower number of nodes. A customer also told me yesterday about a service called GRIC. http://www.gric.com. They have reciprocal agreements with many ISPs all over the world, and the list is growing, allowing you to basically login to the local ISP whereever and still use your home login and all.

I have moved some programs to the F: drive (32MB) and changed my EXMBATCH.EXM files accordingly. However, I have now a serious problem- after my programs has been runned and I exit the programs I get following message: "Intermediate file error during pipe" and then I will get files with names as AABBSNSJ which include the screen output. The palmtop hangs of course and I have to do a 3 finger salute. I am not sure if it's something wrong with my 32MB upgrade or with EXMBATCH- but I think the problem is with EXMBATCH since everything else works fine. Have anyone experienced this problem- please advice.

Hi; Why are you using 32MB in F:? Unless you need to, There is a driver that swaps drivers (on boot up) from F: to C: so that C: has 32MB. That way apps that are fixed know where C: is. If your running from F: some, especially sysaps may be confused.

Am glad to say that I got my LXTCP FREEInet section almost done, and my PNR Development page and "software wishlist" (which included the email sync idea which I hope can be developed and incorporated into Post/LX, PNR and Going Postal) for the 200LX are starting to be written. With luck, I should post up the pages (no images, javascript, tables and frames, just to be Lynx and LX safe, for now.) by next week. BTW, I got information from the company that I am working for (now in the school holidays) in Singapore that they are planning to buy back quite a bit (say hundreds maybe...) of 200LX in Singapore. I would like to see if anyone on the list is interested in buying them. If so, can you please email to peter@scntech.com, and tell him you are interested in purchasing the 200LX. On this matter, he would also want to know if a price of US$200 is fine for a 2Meg model. Do mail him soon. Finally, I am glad to say that my company is also (finally! No more smokeware!) bringing in the IBM PC110 486 palmtop, Sony Vaio and so on. So if anyone is interested in any of these things, just pop me a mail. --- Woman was created from the rib of man; Not from his head to be thought of only, nor from his hand to be owned, nor from his foot to be beneath, but from under his arm to be protected, from his side to be equal, and from his heart to be loved. . . - Nicholas C.

Oh well, I guess that I can live on alkalines and recharing my Nicads on my external charger. -Guy Guy Oshiro University of Colorado Health Sciences Center Box B121, BRB344 Denver, CO 80262 Ph: (303) 315-3331 Fax: (303) 315-3326 -------------------------------------------- ***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, 6 Jun 1998 18:17:55 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Helmut Grossinger Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Helmut Grossinger Subject: Re: unsubscribe!

I use the RS hi-capacity NiCds in my 100lx (with flashcard) and usually get 25-27 hours between rechargings (but I always modem plugged in to A/C as well as the phone line).

The first time I changed batteries in the machine, I discovered that one of the recipes for a happy life is to limit the number of times one has to try to win the uneven fight of taking the battery compartment lid on and off. Nancy, when you recharge the NiMh batteries in the LX, do note that the LX will charge for 6 hours at 100mA and then trickle charge at 45mA. You should therefore reboot the machine within the first 6 hours to start another count of 6 hours. The calculation for NiCd's is something like this: My batteries are 500mAh so I want to charge them 500 * 1.5 =3D 7.5 hours at 100mA. Being a generous soul, I always give mine 8 hours and henceforth reboot the machine (or turn charging off and then on again) after 2 hours (set an alarm so you remember!) and then let them charge 6 hours more. You cannot turn the machine off while charging - that is normal. After the 6 hours, you should turn the charging off if the net-adapter is still connected to the machine. You can get a free-of-charge utility program that enables you to charge longer than 6 hours at 100mA. I have forgotten what it is called but it is on the Super-WWW. First time you usually have to charge (at least) NiCd's much longer.

No need to reboot... At least on my aging 100LX, any power interruption restarts the 6 hour counter. All you need to do is unplug the adapter for a second or two and plug it in again.

I haven't seen that kind of life since I was using a 1M SRAM card. BTW - how are you measuring the time? I noticed that Buddy and ABC/LX give almost identical times that agree with my watch.

You're not the only person using Awk, I can assure you of that, but since TAWK isn't free (as opposed to GnuAwk or others), I stick to those. Apart from Awk, I also have a C compiler and Perl (v4.0) on the LX, though the C compiler really just is taking up space as I never use it. I tried Forth at one time, which probably has smaller space requirements than all the other languages mentioned, but I couldn't really get into it, so it had to go :-) Regards, Laust --- /// Laust Brock-Nannestad - laustbn@diku.dk - HPLX+C64+SID /// /// This tagline is SHAREWARE!

I find that with my typical use, I rarely discharge my nimh batts more than 50% at most, usually no more than 25%. So, using Batset from the SUPER site, I run straight trickle charge overnight unless I used my modem while not on the ac adapter during the day, in which case will run 100mAh four hours, then trickle till morning. This has normally been sufficient and limits the heat generated internal to the HP200, which is more of a concern to me. My rationale is that even expensive batts are cheap to replace compared to the cost of repair to the HP200, although I honestly have no data on how much effect this heating actually has. My palmtop is 3 yrs old and I am shooting for 30. regards, - **************************************************** mark beutler mycroft_h@bigfoot.com "You live and learn. Or you don't live long" R. A.

The good folks at Thaddeus Computing have been reworking the SC manual too. I have not seen it, but they told me they spent a lot of time on it. I did see some piece of their dicumentation, and it seems like an improvement. I am not a good judge of this, because I did not have a problem with the first manual, but still the bit I saw of the new documentation seems better. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 7 Jun 1998 14:24:44 -0500 Reply-To: Wally@pop.uky.edu Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Walter R Francis Organization: The hand that uses the Amiga is the hand that rules the world.

You too?? I thought that the palmtop just wasn't charging them enough! I am not going to spend $30 on RS's charger for them, so I just charge nightly. I can have the palmtop charging overnight, unplug it, put in the modem, go online, and 20 minutes later I get low battery indicators. With normal usage over the day, it gets down to about 2.45 volts. I just wonder if it isn't the fact that they're 1.2v batteries, rather than 1.25 like NiCDs. In other words, they're still well charged at 2.4v, which is pretty low for the LX. I should do the same, go back to my NiCDs and see if it's better that way. I was almost beginning to think I had the 'XRAM battery drain' going on.. :) Anyone else have better luck with RS NiMH batteries? They're rated at a *slow* charge of 400mA, fast charge of 1.2A, so the palmtop is barely trickling them.. But it's a hassle to charge them externally. -- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.. . . Walter Francis _.

If the 200LX is similar to my 100LX, the font file is actually a .COM file that runs at boot time, and installs the Helvetica fonts on the computer. You need to add the command C:\{DIRECTORY¨\HELV200 to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the C: drive, where ÝDIRECTORY¨ is the one where HELV200 is kept.

Two reasons I want to use an external charger: 1) I use my palmtop all day long, and sometimes the batteries don't last. It would be very inconvenient to use an ac adapter. Since it takes all night to charge one pair in the palmtop, I can't have a second pair charged and ready. 2) It bothers me that the palmtop gets so warm when charging. I know it is normal, but still seems like it might reduce the life of the circuitry. BTW, I was able to fit the T2T batteries into my charger by hacking a paper fastener, the kind with a little button and 2 prongs. The button part works with the T2T batteries, and because that flattened the negative connector in the charger, I use the prongs to make the RS batteries fit. thanks again for the help, nancy Net-Tamer V 1.08 Palm Top - Test Drive -------------------------------------------- ***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, 7 Jun 1998 12:03:49 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Andrew Singer Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Andrew Singer Subject: Re: Antw: Re: Windows version of appt & phone book Comments: To: Hobchi@AOL.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Al Chin wrote: > > CPACK is at palmtop.net > select SUPER. > thanks but when I search for cpack, all I can find is programme for running filer from floppy.

Well... running NiCds all the way down before recharging does seem to refresh the cells. I do this (outside the palmtop) periodically to recondition them. Can't very well do this IN the palmtop though - the LX will give up before the batteries do. -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, 8 Jun 1998 09:35:55 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Peniel Romanelli Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Peniel Romanelli Subject: Re: Identify my AC Adapter?

Weekends I often don't get to use it. I did think maybe it was an alarm going off that I don't get to and acknowledge. I did wonder if I'd left CIC100 loaded after I'd taken the modem out (which I only use on AC), but it has happened before I ever started playing with modems. COM port in DOS is 'off'. Has anyone got some suggestions as to what might do it ? I guess something is preventing the system sleeping, even though switched off. It's expensive ! BTW I changed the backup battery today in case it has taken a hammering from the main batteries dying all the time.

The main purpose of the CPack as it came with the pkg was to facilitate transfer DBs from LX to PC for back up. The fact that it runs on PC was a plus. What else is there? There is a completely new and improved version working with win95 (only) to permit file transfer (only) but it doesn't run the DBs. Is that the one you mean? BTW: The one you have does run in w95. Just pull it out through RUN. As for icons, MS has extra icons and will show them to you when it asks you to select an icon. Thry're limited but they'll do till you find some others on the Internet.

How can you tell the polarity of the center pole of an adapter? PS: If you don't get a reply, it means I'm out of town and didn't get your message yet.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit After reading several posts on programs like Software Carousel, I went digging in the back of my network/parts closet because my company used such a program long ago. What I found is a DOS-based program called Direct Access by a company called Fifth Generation Systems. It allows you to switch between DOS programs and gives you simple menu controls. According to the requirements on the box it should be compatible with any DOS machine and even won Editor's Choice from PC Magazine for what its worth (1.15.1991). Before I go tearing my 200lx flash disk to pieces, I was wondering if anyone has experimented with this program before - good or bad? I like the built-in software on the LX but as I run several programs from DOS (like WP5.1) there might be something to my running DOS fulltime (at least from the flash disk). --Patrick McGouirk Computer Systems Administrator 13WMAZ rivrwolf@hom.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: Mon, 8 Jun 1998 18:40:30 EDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Hobchi@AOL.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Al Chin Subject: Re: Windows version of appt & phone book Comments: To: CSchlim@aol.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Hi C :+) I'm glad we are talking about jackfruit.

It's a bit long, but describes the IBM/Lexmark palmtop in detail. Dump this message if you're not interested. Bill From: Christopher G Mullin Newsgroups: comp.sys.palmtops Subject: $199 Super Palmtop from Lexmark?? (LONG) Date: Wed, 8 Mar 1995 21:56:11 -0700 Organization: University of Montana Lines: 106 Message-ID: NNTP-Posting-Host: selway.umt.edu Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=3DUS-ASCII I just bought a very interesting computer on closeout from: DTI Factory Outlet 165 University Av. Westwood, MA 02090 1-800-366-7000 or 617-326-4100 I don't know how many they have left. I'll bet they sell out after people read this post. Their ad in Computer Shopper tries to sell you a "Lexmark/Intel Mini Book" subnotebook, model MB-15 for $199, or $299 with fax/modem. No, you *cannot* get what most people these days would think of as a subnotebook for $199. For one thing, their standard shipping and handling charge is $29, so the actual price is $228. Also, as you will discover by reading on, the good people at DTI really don't quite know what they have here. Nowhere in their ad do they point out that this machine weighs only 2.2 pounds (1 KG). They call it a subnotebook, but what you are buying is actually best described as an improved cross between the original Gateway HandBook and a Prolinear-Mitsuba-Zeos Pocket PC, or PPC. Like the PPC, the MB-15 has no hard drive but has 2 PCMCIA slots (type II, release 1.0, so they're for memory cards only). Also like the PPC, it has a ROM with MS-DOS 5.0, Interlink, integrated software and a PIM, *and* a RAM drive so you cam store files even if you don't have a PCMCIA card. Unlike the PPC, the MB-15 also has Stacker in its ROM, and 2 MB of RAM, so your stacked RAM drive is a nominal 3.4 MB The form factor (6.2 x 10.25 x 1.15 in.) the screen (640 x 400 CGA, with 16 shades of gray in text mode, 8.25 diagonal, non-backlit) the CPU (Chips and Technologies 286-equivalent) all resemble the Gateway HandBook (except that the HandBook's screen was backlit). On its own, the MB-15 has a very touch-typeable 77-key keyboard, with good tactile feedback for a portable, and a keyboard mouse--one dedicated key at the lower right corner that works like a J-mouse, but better than any J-mouse I ever played with, and two more dedicated keys on the bottom row for the mouse buttons. It also has sound support--the Disney Sound Source built in (!), with phone jack and volume control to supplement the built-in speaker. The whole thing runs on 6AA batteries, or a 12 volt AC adapter (no, that's *not* a misprint), and the adapter will also recharge an optional NiMH battery pack. I just got this thing last night, but with no hard drive battery life should be pretty good. One other feature differs from the Gateway HandBook. This is a 1-Kg (2.2 pounds--36 oz.) computer. That's about 8 oz. lighter than the original Handbook, and about 11 oz. lighter than the HandBook 486-- or, about 8 oz. heavier than the PPC, but I prefer not to dwell on that :) The software included is not the PPCs Microsoft Works, but Ability Plus (version 2.15) a British DOS product from the 80's which dynamically links word processing documents, spreadsheets, databases, and graphs, and also does communications. The fairly complete PIM was produced as a series of Ability files. The standard package includes 6 AA batteries, the AC adapter, and a high-quaility 3-ended serial cable to use with Interlink. As you may have noted, this is *not* a "Lexmark/Intel" product, although the friendly person I talked to at DTI was sure it had an Intel 286 in it. When the original Handbook was current, a lot of people thought *it* had a 286 chip, too. Also, what *I* got wasn't even a "Mini Book," it was a LexBook MB-15. I've got Serial # 00000023 (really!) Some history may be in order here, for anyone still reading :) Lexmark announced in Nov. 1992 that it would be producing the MiniBook (note different spelling) in the first quarter of 1993. There were to be three versions: a MiniBook Mizer running at 7 Mhz with 1 MB of RAM and a 640x200 display, a MiniBook MB-10 with PCMCIA slots running at 10 MHz, but still only 640x200 display, and the MB-15 with 2 MB RAM, and 2 MB ROM. These were supposed to fit in between PDAs and their then-new 486 subnotebooks. Apparently DTI has the MB-10 in stock as well as the MB-15. They probably didn't make the Spring '93 production deadline. The manual for my computer is dated June 93, and in it, the machine is called-- not MiniBook or LexBook, but "The SubNotebook" One other interesting point about the manual-- though they include a detailed DOS manual, and mention Stacker and the Disney Sound Source by name, they avoid mentioning exactly what integrated software and PIM they have in ROM. My guess is that they still hadn't signed an agreement with anyone to provide the software by June of '93 My machine (Number 000000023 made, remember) was produced in Feb. 1994. Maybe they *did* make some of these under the name MiniBook, too-- does anyone know? By Feb. '94, probably for about the same money, you could buy a Gateway HandBook 486. And if I could get one of those for $199, I might have done so :) Obviously, that's why they didn't make more LexBooks. My MB-15 is *not* a Windows machine, in spite of the keyboard mouse, but with PCMCIA cards it should be able to cope with just about any DOS programs, including Geoworks if I want a GUI. It's obviously a well-made, well-designed computer (made in the USA, even!) I've been looking for a long time for a 1-Kg DOS machine with a built-in pointing device, and I'm glas I didn't miss this one. And... if it's what you want, you can't get a better deal right now on anything similar, IMHO. My opinions, YMMV-- Any questions, you'll let me know :) Christopher G.

If the rubber is adequitely soft, but resilient, and if the tape is both tenacious and flexible, the result is of the first order.

It seems to me many people have more than one package to suit their needs, since no package does EVERYTHING perfectly. I know that a very large number of our customers also have NetTamer - I do not know which was first in their possession. This is going waaaaay back, so with GP being new, I suppose it will grow too. Hey, Uncle Dave Tolson had a nutty idea of porting NetTamer to the palmtop. When WWW/LX and WWW/LX Plus (with email) arrived, it becamse completely clear that the palmtops are a legitimate and poweful platform for internet work. GP is proving it again. The mere fact that there are options (even beyond the three mentioned) means that the palmtop is capable of sustaining such a workload as internet. What I'd like to see is about a million new palmtops (200LX ...) being sold. :) Avi M.

Taking 'em out, completely discharging 'em then recharging in an external charger restores their ability to take a full charge.

Hmm . . . I didn't consider that it might be inaccurate. I've never used Buddy (despite the raves). So far I have been afraid of the memory hit adding TSR would mean. I run a 5 volt 32MB Simple Tech card. Which could make a difference. I used to use a 1MB SCRAM card also, but that was before I switched to the higher capacity batteries.

The only thing I took out is the UQWK support (as I believe that standard Unix mailbox formats are more portable and open than UQWK formats). So you can just ftp your standard Unix mailbox (/usr/spool/) and run PNRTI on it directly. Version 3.x of PNR (don't ask me when it will be available) will be able to import folders of mail or news from Unix directly into your PNR folders directory (one file per folder), and then re-index them for the palmtop. If you have any other suggestions for improving download times for PNR from Unix, please let me know. -- -- Rod Whitby, Staff Engineer, Electronic Design Automation -- -- Motorola Australia Software Centre - Adelaide, Australia -- -- Phone: +61 8 8203 3526, Fax: +61 8 8203 3501, -- -- Personal: rwhitby@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: Mon, 8 Jun 1998 19:36:03 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David C Smalley Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David C Smalley Subject: Re: FS: 6MB double-speed HP200LX $150 David Smalley (dsmalley@juno.com) _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

I'm using ExmBatch with a T2T 32MB upgrade with no problems. Can you give me (by private email) a blow-by-blow description of what you're doing with ExmBatch, and I'll try and debug the problem. I can't think of any way that the 32MB upgrade would interact with ExmBatch, except if you're doing a swap of C: and F: while ExmBatch is runing (and I can't even think how that would affect it). Also, then string "Intermediate file error during pipe" does not occur anywhere in ExmBatch, so that message must be coming from DOS or SC.

What are the odds of Version 3.x supporting a mode that will allow one to download headers and then mark them for later retrival? This, at least for me, would speed-up the downloading process. I frequently download several hundred articles, then usually only read 1/10 of them. I really have enjoyed using LXNNTP under Goin' Postal.

I realized after just looking at the Thaddeus invoice that I'd messed up....the memory upgrade was to 8MB, not 6MB. Also, I'll throw in my copy of DayTimer Organizer 2.1 which syncs up nicely with the 200LX using Intellisync. And...it includes a user manual set in like-new condition, the original packing materials, a few issues of the HP Palmtop Paper and a copy of PC In Your Pocket. Also, my comment about 'let the bidding begin' was meant in a kidding way; I certainly don't want this to turn into an Ebay! Here's what I'll do....twice a day I'll update my home page at http://members.aol.com/bdipert with the high bid to that point. I'll cut the 'contest' off at 9PM PST Sunday night, out of fairness to all interested parties. Sale at that point is only pending acceptance of the C140 on its way to me. Assume your bid includes UPS ground shipping, if you want COD or air shipping it'll cost you more. Personal checks must clear before I send the goods to you. By the way, high bid to date is $250....and now that it's 8MB, not 6MB as incorrectly posted the first time around..... =========================================== Well, Redmond finally snagged me. It's been increasingly more difficult to integrate the HP200LX into my work environment, what with Puma Technology dropping support and upgrades to Intellisync for the 200LX, and Transfile Win200 working sporadically on my Windows 95 PCs. One too many Word or Excel 97 email attachments that I couldn't read pushed me over the edge. A like-new Compaq C140 upgraded to CE 2.0 is headed my way as I speak. Easier synchronization with Outlook and Outlook Express, as well as the ability to hook into my existing TCP-IP network, will be nice, and I'll try to not dwell on what I'm leaving behind...

You can still use CIS via the DOS-CIM program. I use it every day from my desktop computer. However, some forums are 100% web-based and these cannot be accessed without a web-browser (DOS-Lynx?). You can access FTP and telnet via DOS-CIM. There is also a special program called something like accCIS made for the LX. I don't know much about it. CIS supports cc:mail so you may be able to use the built-in program. I have not tried it myself. While we are at CIS: I have seen some critisism of CIS on this list. I would therefore like to add that I have used CIS for years here in the UK and been more than happy with the service.

Patrick, I've used Direct Access way back before 1991. Back then at least, it was just a menu system and not a task swapper. In other words, you used it to simplify access to your applications, but you couldn't run several apps at the same time. They may have improved later versions of Direct Access, but I didn't keep up with it to know if it was ever made into a Software Carousel type task swapper. - Longden Net-Tamer V 1.08 Palm Top - Registered -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 9 Jun 1998 03:19:05 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Patrick West Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Patrick West Subject: Re: Get xtce Comments: To: BriTrenth@aol.com In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I don't know.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable First, I'd like to apologize to anyone who gets both the HPLX-L list and CIS's HPHAND, as I'm crossposting this to bothh forums: As most of you know, my wife and I recently took a 2 week trip to Ireland, England, and Scotland. I just wanted to share with you the experiences of palmtopping while in a foreign land. 1. Modem access was tough; even though I came prepared with an acoustic coupler and phone adapters, frequently when we were in the country, the connections were so bad that I couldn't get the modem to connect, or if I did, it was at a painful 1200-2400 baud. 2. Modem access in urban areas was better. Don't use a phone in a hotel as most of them charge like 25 pence/minute, even for local calls. The newer British Telecom phones have a non-standard handset that won't mate with my acoustic coupler, so I had so search for other pay phones, or older BT phones. Also, stay away from the BT payhones in pubs and whatnot that look like regular phones with a coin slot, they require you to dial the number, listen for an answer, then insert $$$ to transmit. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make that work. Your mileage may vary. 3. Global ISPs: I used WWW/LX as my client software, with CIS as my ISP. No troubble, I even had Post/LX setup to check my personal (non-CIS) and work POP3 email! I also tried Gric (http://www.gric.com) as my ISP is a Gric member (and I'm assistant sysadmin for them). Worked well, but had zero coverage in Ireland, whereas CIS did have coverage. 4. Energizer Hi-Energy Lithiums are wonderful things, I only went through 2 sets in 2 weeks, with PCMCIA modem use and heavy serial port use (I was using my Kodak DC20 to take pictures.) No recharging or trying to find an outlet. :) But now that I'm back in the states. it's back to Mack's Super-NiMHs. 5. The Kodak DC20 and LXDC worked great together. I used IMG2BMP (available from the Japanese home of LXDC, sorry, I don't have the URL); and cjpeg (from simtel) to convert the .img files that the DC20 generates to .bmp, ten to .jpg. It was a lengthy process, and took around 10 min/picture (on my 2x 32mb unit), so I wrote a batch file to automate the process, and had the apptbook kick it off at 12:30 each nite. I woke up to nice, compact .jpgs, ready for web page use. 6. I do have a web page journal of the trip, it's at http://www.garlic.com/~childers/uktrip. Untortunately, I had a cross-linked file which wiped out the last 4 days of web pages, which I need to reconstruct. (Glad I moved all pictures to flash media). The first 9 days are up, though. In conclusion, the LX was a wonderful traveling companion (like you didn't know that). WWW/LX performed admirably, as did Mack's 32 MB upgrade. Feel free to email me with questions... as I think I've taken up enough public bandwidth. :) Bill -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 9 Jun 1998 08:48:13 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "James P.

Any ideas? This is a simple project to build. The easiest way would be to use a cheap wall-wart adaptor + individual holders for each AA cell you want to charge. Hook one side if the adaptor (say negative) to the same pole of each cell holder. Then connect the other side to each cell through a resistor. The value of the resistors should be: (Adaptor V - 1.2) / desired current For example - for a 9V adaptor and 25mA: 9-1.2 =3D 7.8 7.8/.025 =3D 312 The nearest standard value = would be 330 ohms. The minimum power rating of the resistors is the current squared * resistance - in the example .025*.025=3D.000625*330=3D.2063 In this case you need at least a 1/4 watt resistor, or preferably a 1/2 = watt. This would be a lot clearer with a schematic, but I'm too @#$!& lazy to try to do this with ascii graphics... For a little better version, you could use an adjustable voltage regulator (like an LM317), and wire the battery holders to its output the same way. Then all you need to do is vary the voltage to set the charging current.

I take it that the circuit will feed each parallel battery 7.8 V at 25ma. Won't feeding a 1.5 (1.2) V battery 7.8 V be destructive? (The potential is much greater than the chemical potential, and could cause crystal growth on the cathode or anode plates, right?) OR am I understanding Ohm's law incorrectly. Will adding a 312 Ohm resistor drop the voltage to 1.2 V and only allow 25ma to flow? If this is so, then why doesn't the AC adapter current rating come into the picture. I guess I am confused. The point is, I suppose the resistor drops the voltage and since the battery internal resistance is low comparatively, the current draw is mostly dictated by the resistor. But won't the resistor then absorb the amperage and just heat up, leaving little current for the low-resistive battery? I admit, I don't know electronics...

Please help if you can! Recap: Can get palmtop to receive data from GPS unit only *sometimes* Details: I am using a HP 100LX. I am not experienced with palmtops (other than a few days and all of last night) . (The HP 100LX runs DOS ver 5.00) My mission: download files from a Trimble GeoExplorer (Geo) to the palmtop. Trimble provides a program, load.exe, which can be run from the DOS prompt on a PC. The customary arrangement is to connect the Geo to the PC COMM port with a (Trimble) cable. Thus, I connect the palmtop as follows: palmtop-HPCable-GenderChangerConnector-NullModemConnector-TrimbleCable-GPS. Both units are running on AAs (palmtop:2, Geo:4) Good News: With load.exe on the palmtop, I can successfully establish connection with Geo and read the file dir on the Geo and pull off tiny (<1k) files. Bad News: When I try to download a file containing meaningful data (multiple positions) (>1k, sometimes many k), the load.exe reports "unable to load nnnnn from data logger" (the nnnnn represents the filename). The program then quits (whereas usually it grabs all files from the Geo). I have done some troubleshooting: files=, buffers= meet sftw specs made plenty of room on the c: drive and flash card (in case of temp files) I ran load.exe from a: and c: and e: I replaced all AA batteries I tried various settings, increasing avail RAM to up to 411760 I tried different baud settings (not sure if this really did anything -- Filer/Menu/Comm was where I changed it; it's back to 9600 now) I tried 2 versions of load.exe I tried 2 different HP 100LXs All operations worked normally from a PC, for this Geo and set of data I am sure there was more... (it was a long night) Any clues? I have someone at Trimble working on this but they apparently are not familiar with using a palmtop rather than a PC. I am calling HP, too. I "need" to be done with this in hours.

Can't tell from your description whether this is the case or not, but to avoid the SysMgr interference you have 2 choices: 1) Exit completely out of SysMgr before running load.exe (ie, from the icon screen, Menu/Application/Terminate all/OK. - then from DOS, run load.exe 2) If you're running load.exe from a created icon in SysMgr, edit the icon's comment field by putting an inverted exclamation there (Fn-!) which tells SysMgr not to interrupt. If you're running load.exe from Filer, by pointing and shooting..then I think SysMgr is your problem. Use either of the two choices above instead. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 9 Jun 1998 10:40:14 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Longden C.

Hmmm... actually, thats basically the idea. (Although the resistor doesn't "absorb amperage", it drops the voltage, and limits current). The resistor will heat (slightly). Thats the reason for the power calculation. (Less than 1/4 watt in the example I gave). Always figure the power dissipation of the resistors, and choose those with higher ratings. The current is limited by the resistor to whatever current you design for. The AC adaptor current rating does play a part, since there will also be some voltage drop under load. When you figure the value of your resistors, use the adaptor's voltage under load.

HP 100LX, comm port | download to from GPS Comments: To: n.weaver@usa.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sounds like you covered all of your bases Noel. I can think of a couple of areas that you might not have touched on. 1. The cable connections are notorious for being intermittent or just not connected. You have many connectors in the line that can fail. Have you tried a different cable? Have you thought of making up your own cable to get rid of the gender and null modem change connectors? 2. I have no experience with the Trimble GPS unit, only the DeLorme GPS receiver. I can surmise that since the Trimble unit works with a PC, that perhaps it draws alot of current from the HPLX. Have you tried to plug in the HPLX to an AC adapter, just to see if you are able to download your data? 3. The third area that could be a problem is that on the DeLorme GPS receiver, you need to pull one of the pins "active" before it will download the data from the receiver. I don't know if the Trimble unit has the same requirement, but you might check with Trimble to find out.

HP 100LX, comm port | download to from GPS I am *really* down to the wire and discovered a major obstacle! Please help if you can! Recap: Can get palmtop to receive data from GPS unit only *sometimes* Details: I am using a HP 100LX. I am not experienced with palmtops (other than a few days and all of last night) . (The HP 100LX runs DOS ver 5.00) My mission: download files from a Trimble GeoExplorer (Geo) to the palmtop. Trimble provides a program, load.exe, which can be run from the DOS prompt on a PC. The customary arrangement is to connect the Geo to the PC COMM port with a (Trimble) cable. Thus, I connect the palmtop as follows: palmtop-HPCable-GenderChangerConnector-NullModemConnector-TrimbleCable-GPS. Both units are running on AAs (palmtop:2, Geo:4) Good News: With load.exe on the palmtop, I can successfully establish connection with Geo and read the file dir on the Geo and pull off tiny (<1k) files. Bad News: When I try to download a file containing meaningful data (multiple positions) (>1k, sometimes many k), the load.exe reports "unable to load nnnnn from data logger" (the nnnnn represents the filename). The program then quits (whereas usually it grabs all files from the Geo). I have done some troubleshooting: files=, buffers= meet sftw specs made plenty of room on the c: drive and flash card (in case of temp files) I ran load.exe from a: and c: and e: I replaced all AA batteries I tried various settings, increasing avail RAM to up to 411760 I tried different baud settings (not sure if this really did anything -- Filer/Menu/Comm was where I changed it; it's back to 9600 now) I tried 2 versions of load.exe I tried 2 different HP 100LXs All operations worked normally from a PC, for this Geo and set of data I am sure there was more... (it was a long night) Any clues? I have someone at Trimble working on this but they apparently are not familiar with using a palmtop rather than a PC. I am calling HP, too. I "need" to be done with this in hours.

Hmm, doesn't make sense to me, really... Lexmark, International, is Lexicon Marking, the marking of words. Printers. Perhaps originally they were more broad, but all Lexmark, Int. does is printers. And I *believe* that Lexmark, Int. was a spinoff, purchased by the employees of IBM to create a new company, still attached to IBM in ways, but a separate corporate entity. I should know I guess....

To switch between an Application Manager session & a a large Dos program takes around 10 seconds on an uncompressed flash card (compression makes a big difference timewise). I keep around 1.2 mb free on my flash card to provide enough space to swap applications. This enables me to have at least three applications running.

Several types exist and I believe some get their power from self-contained batteries while others may draw from the parallel port. I have an Extended Systems infra-red parallel port that I inherited from someone else and use the LX's IR to print. The Extended Systems unit daisy chains between the printer's port and the parallel cable and the overall arrangement is, I believe, mostly as with the more standard serial to parallel boxes. The place my IR unit came from is no longer in business so I'm not sure where you can get them, but I'd think ser-par boxes should be easier to find. I don't use the Conn Pack, so I can't comment on it. - Longden Net-Tamer V 1.08 Palm Top - Registered -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 9 Jun 1998 22:30:38 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Steve Meisner Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Steve Meisner Subject: Re: Speaking of infrared...

To my knowledge there never was an OS/2 native version of "CPACK" althought with some tweaking it was said to run fine under WINOS2. Personally I have found that Transfile Win 200 is a bit flaky under Warp 4 but I have not bothered to tweak the settings much. ACE Technologies' "ACELink" works great in a DOS box but ACE is out of business now. I would suggest searching usenet archives on AltaVista and DejaNews. Note I do not own CPACK myself. For file transfer you might also look into other DOS options ("ZIP"?) or it should be easy to port the UNIX "LXTOOLS" to OS/2 with the EMX kit. Or just use Ignacio Perez's DOS versions of LXTOOLS. -Peter -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 9 Jun 1998 15:55:06 EST Reply-To: tcbordp@vbbusnw1.tc.cc.va.us Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Peter W.

Web browsing would be nice, I think = :) WWW/LX Plus supports email, web browsing, and newsgroups. In another post to Pablo I posted on storage requirements for email side only. For Web browsing you need to add the HV client programs and files. We also have as freeware the FTP/LX and TELNET/LX clients, ROBOT/LX client that allows automation of internet sessions, and also GET which allows unattended web page collection (i.e. you give it a list of URLs, and let an appointment fire up WWW/LX Plus with GET to go fetch the stuff, and put it on the machine. It is ready for you in the morning. I like to call it D&A's "Pull Technology" vs the commercials-laden "Push Technology.) We also have several other expellent addons and utilities. See http://www.dasoft.com, link to "NEW WWW/LX Plus". In the link called description there is a mind-numbing list of all the features that were in the released products. Unfortunately it is incomplete, we added a few more along the way since Aptil 6 :), and in version 2.1 we have a few more coming. You can download the entire program from the Web page. It will run in Demo mode (some people call it it crippleware, I hate that term!) but you can test it to your heart's content. The email client has a built-in registration process, complete with ENCRYPTION of your credit card number for safe passage on the internet as email. 2 people know how to decode it (Andreas, the author, and I). Sheesh - I just went for it and wrote it all! If you have questions (which I doubt after this long post :) ...) let me know. Avi M.

CIS supports cc:Mail, but the cc:Mail in the palmtop requires scripting to login, which is unsupported by CIS, so nogo on that. ESP has a service for CC:MAIL and specifics for palmtops. Don't know URL, but search ESP and cc:Mail. > While we are at CIS: I have seen some critisism of CIS on this list. > I would therefore like to add that I have used CIS for years here in = the > UK and been more than happy with the service. I was one of the criticisers, yet I have been using them for years. I am mostly happy, except: (1) On occasions their service is flaky - such as bad modems at nodes, or incredibly slow, or weird phenomena online and during login. These are all transient but can last in extreme cases for a day. (2) They have the most idiotic Tech Support. These people know near nothing. I am always dismayed when I call. It as if they seek out the least knoelwedgeable people, and then teach them to be illogical, uncooperative and just unhelpful. They have a second line tech support as well, but these people are hidden behind an almost unpenetrable wall. (3) Their feedback for email help NEVER read your email, they just send you back instructions on how to install the current WinCIM, even if you ask about the content of a forum, or how to block spammers, or whatever. There is an address CIS:MGMT (usable from inside CIS, don't know how to use it from internet) where they have some management trainees who actually know how to read, and they actually read. Some of their answers even make sense and are on occasions helpful. My experience with feedback (I call them feedbag) is 100% UNusefulness. What I like about CIS: (1) When their PPP gateway works (say 99.5%) it is fast, reliable and without errors. (2) They provide a very cost effective service at $9.95 per month (incl. 5 hours of access, $2.95 per hour for additional time, measured in 10 second intervals). I exceed it almost each month but only by a little, and my usual monthly is about $11.00. (3) They have more nodes than any other service, both in the US and internationally. Second to them is IBMNet with about half as many nodes. (4) Their billing is automated and has been perfected over many many years, so it is very accurate. (5) You can send a fax through them. If the addressee is a fax number they'll call that number and send the message to that fax. Text only, and the call is billed as a call from Columbus Ohio, US. (6) The best asset for palmtoppers is HPHAND forum in CIS. More "tribal knowledge" there than anywhere else. This forum comes in second place. Either one is by far better than newsgroups for palmtops, at least for 200LX information. General notes: 1. If you open an account, you automatically get into "Newmail", which uses their proprietary protocol called HMI (Host Micro Interface, whatever that means). This is NOT ASCII, so you cannot read your email using DATACOMM, for example. You can convert to OLDMAIL by using "Go NPX-32" and use the menu. NEWMAIL allows you a "personalised" email name, such as "AviMeshar" instead of the numeric address they use (i.e. 123456,789). You can send email from Internet to such an address as: AviMeshar@compuserve.com or 123456.789@compuserve.com (note the comma becomes a period. 2. They have a totally separate email system on their Internet side, i.e. SMTP/POP3. There are instructions on how to use this with WWW/LX on our Web page in a FAQ are. This a plain ol' internet emailbox. The address would be something like AviMeshar@csi.com (note the different domain name.) The two email systems are unrelated, although you can redirect email from the compuserve.com to the csi.com mailbox. 3. You cannot access most forums and libraries from the Internet. However, they have a few forums now that are Web-based only. Good luck. Avi M.

The total, w/out setup pgms: 119857 - roughly 120K. Your email files and all that are acocunted for, since it really depends on you. The 1MB machines have 352K on C: drive at most.

Nobody seemed to know how to over here in Australia (including dealers and HP itself!..) until I found this ex HP guy who said I need a serial to parallel convertor(?box). I thought that is what the connectivity pack was supposed to do. Do I need something else? If I do, does it need to be powered? If it does, does it draw power from the HP200 LX? Please help ........I'll get it printing if it is the last thing I'll do........ Cheers Alex Baker ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ Alex The connectivity pack does not have a serial to parallel converter in it. You need to contact someone like Shier Systems (www.shier.com) and buy one. Or you could get a ir adapter for your printer and use the LX ir port to print. That is what I do with my deskjet 340. Good luck.

Tobias, kidding aside, first thanks for the ref to this game... I know of three nuclear plants that issue 200LX to ALL the operators. They have some real programs running there that would control certain operations of the plants. There are also several other very critical apps running in palmtops, such as anestesia stuff. I ran a tiny bulletin board on a 1MB 100LX after a devastating earthquake in Los Angeles in 1994. Supporder only two lines, but provided the only "lifeline" to the outside world to several individuals who were stuck at home. The main bulletin board was destroyed (8 486s and over 50GB of disk.) We got a designation of "Official Lifeline Support" which is usually given to people like doctors, firefighters, nurses, electrical workes etc. That was an interesting outcome from the Northridge EQ of January 1994. The modems were some old Practical Peripherals 14,400 and they were the sixe of a 2 inch binder, a bit sohrter. We velcroed the 100 to one of them, funny to see the computer stuck on its modem :) ... We have an awsome little machine. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 10 Jun 1998 11:49:35 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Rick Kozak Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Rick Kozak Subject: external display MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit : : ÝC¨ A PCMCIA adapter (EZPresenter) enable you to have a Simultaneous VGA : : Output(in 16 colors or in 256 colors) without VGA adaptor and it makes : possible to play CD-Titles in 256 colors 640x480 on Aero Mono in Windows 3.1 : and Win 95.

Yes, many newer ISP's say "only works with Win95" so they don't have to spend support time on other configurations. They just throw together a Win95 "one-size-fits-all" install package.

In typical Microsoft arrogance, they took standard CHAP, modified it for "better security" (uh-huh) and called it "MS CHAP" It has it's own protocol number in PPP, different from standard CHAP.

Ah, it's nice they decided to also allow standard PAP/CHAP (wonder which is really being used when MS CHAP isn't supported by the client?) over RAS.

I've had 2 problems in all these years with palmtops. The first 95lx had the well known false battery low indication. It developed long after it was out of warranty, but HP still fixed it free. I just recently lost a row of pixels on my 1 meg 95lx. Actually I have 2 of them, having gotten a good deal on a used one for a backup. And that's the one with the problem. But I've had it for years and I guess I can't complain. I still use the 95lx. Not for anything serious but I play around with asm programming on it from time to time. All in all, it's a more elegant design than the 100/200's, although I wouldn't give up the features of the new ones.

In fact I know they still do to the Model 100 forum because I've seen them discussing the fact that some of them still use their model 100 to access it. It might need a different phone number. You might contact them to find out. The bad news is that they have announced that the ASCII interface is being phased out entirely and I don't know how much longer it has left. Theyve been phasing it out for a while so I wouldnt think there was that much left.

First, Masm and Tasm are essentially identical unless you use Tasm's Ideal mode, which makes your code incompatible with the rest of the world. They're both first rate assemblers. A86 is available at http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/ in their msdos collection. It might be in the asmutil directory or some such. I don't remember the exact spelling. This is a huge site so you might have to spend some time finding it. It'll be time well spent. It's a great site to get to know. A86 is also a first rate assembler. It's written by Eric Isaacson, who wrote the original 8080 and 8086 assemblers for Intel. Eric is a guy who likes to do things his own way and thats what he did with A86. It's more than a little different than other assemblers but it's good. The problem with A86 is that if you're just learning asm it isn't completely compatible with any asm books or tutorials. That's not really a major problem because the differences are small and fairly obvious and well documented. But it's an extra worry for someone learning and I don't think it's a good choice for that reason. All 3 assemblers work well on the palmtop. You can debug with debug that's built in, or use Symdeb from Microsoft that came with early versions of Masm. That's symbolic and works well with either Masm or Tasm. A86's debugger, D86, works well in text mode but crashes if the program youre debugging goes into graphics mode. Since I do a lot of graphics that makes it fairly useless to me on the palmtop. Which is a shame because it's a really nice debugger. But weird. :) No source level debuggers will work for any length of time on the palmtop. Symdeb is as close as I've been able to come. I've tried Codeview, Turbo Debug, Soft Ice, Periscope, all the IDE debuggers with MSC and Turbo C, and they've all been very unstable or worse.

I downloaded it from SUPER or Eddie, forget which. It resembles the standard Forth that I used YEARS ago, but my memory isn't the greatest. I have been thinking of digging it out again, as I've been intending to re-learn programming (I keep saying this) and Forth was a pretty reasonable critter once I got used to it.

All components for the modification of the timing circuit are included, as well as the torx bit and instructions for opening the case and installing the upgrade. For the OmniGo 700LX, TechSpeed is only available together with installation, because the upgrade is rather complicated to install in the 700LX. Therefore, we currently do not offer printed instructions for do-it-yourself installation in the OmniGo 700LX. ---------------------------- So I assumed the 700lx was not double speeded already. -Tim pacific@castles.com http://members.castles.com/pacific -------------------------------------------- ***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, 10 Jun 1998 20:35:18 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Peniel Romanelli Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Peniel Romanelli Subject: Re: Programming languages Comments: To: BriTrenth@AOL.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Wed, 10 Jun 1998 20:04:56 -0400 (EDT) 03h04m13s ago ...

I know Samuel Lightcap already told you about Pygmy. The unmodified Pygmy Forth (v1.4) will run on the LX, but the one modified for it was called 100pygmy. There is a newer (v1.5) Pygmy that works on the palmtops, and has multitasking capabilities, available from the authors site: http://www.eskimo.com/~pygmy I have a variation of this one I modified for the palmtops, but am still working on it, & haven't contacted pygmy's author for permission to distribute it.

Some of them have coverage only in the US, while some of them cover all of North America. The DataComm program recognizes the existence of the modem and actually runs a built-in test on it. I don't know enough about DataComm to say that it "runs" the modem. The way I am set up, I pay a monthly fee for a certain number of Kilobytes worth of text messages (emails, faxes, messages to alpanumeric pagers, etc.) that my modem transmits through the radio network to my provider (WYND Communications) who then turns around and retransmits it through the regular wired phone lines. As far as I know, all such devices are sold or rented based on the affiliation of the user to the service provider who then supplies you with the software to run the modem and access their network. I tried my in Alaska and Mexico just for the heck of it, because they had told me the network had no coverage there, and indeed it didn't. But in large cities, like Chicago, Washington DC, LA, etc. communication is almost instantaneous with the network, and from there, it all depends on th phone lines to get your message trough. Thanks.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have pulled out my Smart fax/modem PCMCIA card that I frequently used several years ago with my HP200lx. Cannot get it to work. No dial tone. Can you guys help me out? (By the way, is Smart Modular Technologies still in business or did they get swallowed up by someone?) Here's the set up: 1. The card is set up as drive G. I am able to use the card as a data storage drive without any problems. I can run 200lx application programs from the data files stored on the card. So, it seems that the machine is able to communicate with the card. It has a capacity of 4 megs and has about 1.3 megs free. 2. The G drive has an autoexec.bat and a config.sys file on it. The autoexec.bat file has the line G:\>D:\BIN\CIC100 /GEN 1 which I understand from my User's Guide is necessary to run a modem. 3. The modem driver is smdriver.sys 3,305 bytes and is installed on the G drive. 4. The DataCom setting are as follows: 1. Baud = 9600 2. Com2 3. Parity even, Data Bits 7, Stop Bits 1 4. Emulation VT100 5. Xon 6. Phone number is entered in the little box and I check that the line has a dial tone. 5. I am using the same phone cord that come with the modem. Connections to the modem card (connection is to the card, not the serial port) and wall phone jack are tight and good. 5. When I push the connection key, I get a message on the Datacom screen that says: ATDTphonenumber, no dial tone. I hear no dial tone from the 200lx at all. 6. I am trying to connect to CompuServe. The CompuServe phone number is good since I connected to CompuServe successfully on my PC. Am I burning the wrong incense or something? -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 11 Jun 1998 21:27:48 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Don E.

I believe Direct Access was only a menu program (i.e., use one program, close it before using another program), not a task switcher (i.e., two or more programs opened simultaneously). It has been awhile since I used it, but I don't remember any task switching feature. Besides Software Carousel, Switch-It, and Multiple Choice (MS), other good task switchers included WordPerfect Shell (standalone and also included in WordPerfect Office and DataPerfect) and Back & Forth. I believe WordPerfect Shell had a built-in cut & paste feature.

All you have to do is spool out your handy Palmtop.Net retractable phone cable (you DO have one don't you) and connect to the port. Configure your email fetcher to dial either a toll-free or calling card number (local calls will not work), and then go online.

She was born June 11, 1998 at 18:55 PDT. It's for this reason that I have been a little delayed in posting results from the contest. Have no fear, the contest entries have been judged and the winners will be notified. All entries will be posted for everybody's enjoyment. It was no easy task to judge the many fine (and some bizarre) entries we received, but our panel of judges has voted and come up with winners. If you didn't win this time, don't lose hope... more contests are coming up! Thank the contest sponsors, Time2 Tech and D&A Software, for providing many fine prizes for these contests. And on a lighter note, the 200LX has once again proved itself to be an incredibly valuable tool under any conditions. For six hours of labor, the 200LX and WWW/LX Plus 2.0 served very well to keep in touch with the world. Though childbirth can get a little messy, the 200LX came through without a scratch, and can now be known as the only palmtop to get covered by a placenta and keep on tickin'. (Okay, I made that up, but don't think the 200LX couldn't do it, by golly!) The anesthesiologist who administered the epidural to my wife was highly impressed by my 200LX, with its 32MB internal disk and 160MB flash card. "How'd you get thirty-two megs in there? My Velo 1 is only eight, and that was the max I could upgrade it to!" After listening to me extol the virtues of the 200LX and Times2 Tech, he seemed impressed. Perhaps we'll get another user on HPLX-L soon... (Please pardon any typing errors in this message; the baby and mother are sleeping, and the lights are very dim in here, and... you get the picture.) -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 11 Jun 1998 22:55:43 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jeff Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jeff Subject: Re: A new baby / Contest news / Palmtop Wars Comments: To: David Sargeant In-Reply-To: <199806120634.XAA16614@coyote.accessnv.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Congratulations!!!

Then navigate on your desktop to the palmtop drive with the file you wish to print. Then print it. You also would need to make sure the Canon BJ 200 was set to emulate one of the printers supported by the 200LX. If I need to print a memo file with the formatting I sometimes do it this way.

I think this will work for 200LX with Nokia 2110 and PCMCIA-card, but for other Nokia-models or other brands, I don't know. It would be nice if the program could store the complete phone-memory (A or B or both) as a file. The file should be standard ascii or HP-phonebook-compatible. It is a little bit stupid - the 700LX has built in 2110-docking, but no way to read/write the phone's memory. If somebody is interested in making such a program, I will be glad to help with more specific ideas later.

The palmtop searches the drives in alphabetical order (Starting with A: if it exists) for the startup files, and uses the first ones it finds.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain What you want is the inside track on how this is done by the software that is already available for Windows. The Nokia GSM PC card includes software that can do this; the TDK GreyCell SoftModem can do it too, but interestingly not for the Nokia 2110 (other Nokias OK). If someone could acquire that interface software (which will not involve any Windows stuff) that would be half the battle. Of course even nicer would be a software modem for the LX, but TDK GreyCell are not going to (not enough market). They are doing one for CE, but there are problems as there is no standard for the serial connector. It would suit so well, as not using a PC card socket would (a) save power and (b) leave the slot free for flash cards etc. The LX could easily keep up with a GSM at 9600 baud. I can't help thinking that the phone manufacturers probably have this code in their test labs. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 12 Jun 1998 07:11:55 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Bill Childers Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bill Childers Subject: Re: Bay Area Palmtop places Comments: To: Francois Ennesser <100774.3617@COMPUSERVE.COM> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > Hi everybody, > > I am on vacations in the San Francisco Bay Area and will stay there for = another > couple of weeks. > > Do any of you guys around here know of good places I could visit for = either > used software or 200LX appliances such as PC cards, etc.?

Unfortunately, the 200LX is getting tougher to find here, as it's being phased out by the WinCE models. Here are some places to try: (sorry, I don't have addresses) Micro Center, off Mission College Blvd. (last time I was there, they carried the Connectivity Pack, AC adapters, cables, and Intellisync. Also many PCMCIA cards, digital cameras, and they have a great library of books!) Fry's electronics, on Arques Blvd. : Used to carry the 200LX (I bought my 4mb model there, haven't been inside in some time.) Disk Drive Depot, on Lawrence Blvd. (Carries PCMCIA storage cards) That's all that comes to mind... Have fun here in the land of the Almighty Dollar!

I hated to have to TABLE it as WWW/LX doesn't groove on tables too much, but it was the only good way to keep things looking semi-orderly. A very nice thing to have for this and many other things like it would be a way to generate an up-to-date GDB of the info in the registry for immediate download. The data is stored in a delimited ASCII text file that could be processed by some clever perl to generate a GDB. This would work well for the SUPER database too as I am usually pretty bad about keeping that file current. I know we have the specs for the GDB files so if anyone has programming talent and some spare time, have at it. :) Mitch S.U.P.E.R.

To pick up email from your ISP you need an internet access. Neither acCIS nor DOSCIM provide this. They both access Compuserve's proprietary email. You can get Compuserve account but you'll need to get an internet communications program. We have one WWW/LX Plus, and there is very good and venerable competition to us in the form of Goin' Postal and NetTamer. Tnne you can login locally to a Compuserve node, hook up to their PPP Gateway and point to your ISP's email servers and download you email. The connection would be llocal to CIS, then over internet to the rest of the way. Avi M.

(I am staying in Sunnyvale). w/r/t used and old software, my list goes something like this: Herb's Software, on Brokaw in San Jose (near the Brokaw/I880 interchange, across Brokaw from the San Jose Fry's). Weird Stuff on Caribbean Drive in Sunnyvale. There is also a Weird Stuff "software-based store" in Fremont but on my one visit it didn't seem to have a lot of MS-DOS software. The weekly Computer Recycling Center sale at 2971 Mead Avenue in Santa Clara. This is fed by donations; CRC's primary goal is refurbishing old computers for schools, but these days schools seem to mostly want Pentiums running Win95 and so I guess that leaves CRC with un-placeable stuff to sell, both to get it out of the way and make some money to fund their activities. There's usually a couple of bookshelves full of software-like stuff (software packages, manuals, &c) for various platforms and typically a little MS-DOS stuff. This happens every Saturday from 0900 until 1300. This Saturday you might want to check out the Foothill electronics swap meet at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills (on El Monte Road just south/west of I280). It's largely amateur radio stuff but old and new computer stuff turns up too as folks bring it in the hope of exchanging it for a few dollars instead of bringing it back to clutter up the garage. The swap meet starts early (officially 0700 but really more like sunrise) and is over by 1200. Bring eight quarters ($0.25 coins) for car parking. Quite frankly the easy pickings for MS-DOS software are getting slim, if for no other reason than that the excess/overstock software channel has been flooded with Win3.1 stuff and cheap CD-ROMs, and is now getting flooded with first-generation Win95 stuff and still more cheap CD-ROMs. Herb's still has some stuff by way of Herb having been in the business for several years at least; some of the MS-DOS stuff has been on his shelves for a long long time. -Frank McConnell -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 12 Jun 1998 12:29:34 -0700 Reply-To: David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: A new baby / Contest news / Palmtop Wars Comments: To: wyn@alphalink.com.au In-Reply-To: <1A1131B1EDC@alice.baker.edu.au> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Fri, 12 Jun 1998 wyn@alphalink.com.au wrote: > Congratulation, > So you need another palmtop now!! > I think, for the begining, she can start with a 95LX.

A very nice thing to have for this and many other things like it would be a way to generate an up-to-date GDB of the info in the registry for immediate download.

Last week I was in the Washington DC area on business and a colleague turned me on to the existence of some inexpensive copies of Microsoft FoxPro 2.0 (single user) in a computer store in Gaithersburg. I'd been wanting to try that ever since someone here mentioned it in response to my query about database software for the palmtop. So I bought one: it was marked $29.95 but the man behind the counter asked me if I got it from one of "those piles over there". I said yes (truthfully) and he told me they were $10.00 -- not sure if this is an attempt to get 'em moving faster or some special sale that I lucked into. It does seem to install OK on the palmtop: the package I got included 3.5"-720KB and 5.25"-1.2MB disks. Doesn't want to run under MaxDOS though. The installation seems to be taking up a little less than 6MB of disk space but I think I could prune that a bit (I loaded some of the examples).

Just a guess here, but SG is for Singapore, so perhaps ABA is another HP location that the 95LX was manufactured at?

What I converted into is a DOS machine running: 1) DOS 5 2) Direct Access for menu / task switching 3) WordPerfect 5.1 for text / word processing 4) Lotus 2.4 for spreadsheet 5) Calendar Creator + for PIM (temporary - it's the only thing I had) 6) CompuShow 8 for graphics 7) Nettamer (XT) for web/email (temporary just for this trial) 8) Additional and Various - Games / Utilities / Drivers I did get all the programs running simultaneously, but very slowly (compared to System Manager). I would not suggest doing this all the time - maybe 3 programs max. Also I used all of the flashcard space because I used the full versions of all the programs. All in all, unless you have specific needs I plan to stick with most of the built-in software and add from there (at least until I get a network card and a memory upgrade - mmmmm, LAN Manager!). So this experiment wasn't the most efficient use of my 200lx resources. There is something gratifying in the knowledge that my 200lx can do what I want, how I want, if I want. --Patrick McGouirk Computer Systems Administrator 13WMAZ -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 12 Jun 1998 15:21:05 EDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Daniel Z.

"Excellent," said Gates, watching his scheme unfold on a 30-foot video screen deep within Microsoft's Redmond, WA, compound. "Everything is going exactly according to plan." Doctors say the risk to New Yorkers who consume Windows-tainted water is considerable. "As little as three ounces of water can carry the entire Windows 98 installer file into the drinker's cerebral cortex," said Dr. Terry Braithwaite of New York's Mt. Sinai Hospital. "Once this insidious operating system enters a person's brain, it may take years to fully rebuild his or her original neurological programming, and even then, old files can remain in their memories for years." According to New York water commissioner Glenn Portnoy, the Susquehanna and Catskill reservoirs were contaminated with the software in question late Saturday night, rendering 100 percent of the city's taps Windows-compatible only. Those living in any of the city's five boroughs, Portnoy said, are now at risk of having the system installed in their bodies by drinking, cooking with, or even showering with New York City water. "Residents of New York!" said Gates in a televised address early Monday morning. "Some of your neighbors, your friends, your own family members have not yet joined us in operating within our glorious system. Why not? Is something affecting their judgment? Are they perhaps... thirsty?" "Water," Gates added. "The source of all life." Gates then emitted a sinister, high-pitched laugh and faded out, returning televisions across New York to their regular programming with the push of a button. Justice Department officials said they plan to come down hard on the software giant for its latest controversial move. "Not only is tampering with a major metropolitan area's water supply illegal," U.S. attorney Joel Klein said, "but mass, involuntary bio-installation of operating-system software is a gross violation of federal antitrust law." Klein said Microsoft has also taken steps to prevent rival Netscape from placing its web browser in New York's reservoirs, an act he said may constitute a further illegal monopolistic trade practice. If found guilty of dispatching winged Microsoft henchmen to block Netscape's access to the reservoirs, Microsoft may face fines of up to $670 million. Gates refused to respond to the allegations, but spoke directly to the people of New York via Microsoft's Windows 98 brainwave transmitter, saying, "Command priority reformat unit sub-Klein-delete//DELETE: A-Priority." Klein's whereabouts are currently unknown. Despite Microsoft's tainting of their water supply, New Yorkers seem relatively unfazed. "There is nothing wrong with having Windows 98 in my body," said a glassy-eyed Queens woman identifying herself as "7398473289348390-98.01." "Windows 98 is good. Where do I want to go today, O Gateslord?" Added the woman: "Invalid sector error Type -41." -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 13 Jun 1998 09:42:34 +1000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , wyn@ALPHALINK.COM.AU Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Alain Psyche Subject: Re: CF 2mB...$20 Comments: To: Al Kind In-Reply-To: MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT I thought the 95LX only accept SRAM card > > If these work with the hp 95 lx of 100 lx I'll take it. > > It will work, but you will need the CF -> PCMCIA adapter.

I like to have my mail and replies stored on the desktop computer, so it's easiest to just download my mail to the desktop. This way I can decided what files need to be transferred to the palmtop, sparing a mass download. I actually like the cc:Mail program interface on the 200lx. Is there a way to translate POP3 and cc:Mail formats easily? Is there some documentation of the cc:Mail format somewhere? BTW, I'm using an Amiga as my desktop. I've tried out GP and looked at quaLX (which seems overly complicated to install for my needs). If worse comes to worse, I may just have to write an ARexx macro to do the job for me. That's what I had to do to transfer my Elm/Pine mailfiles to something more readable by my mail program.

As a killer, for when we're away for a few days at a time, the Libretto 50CT is great for faxing, surfing the net, e-mailing, and doing our business invoicing on the road.

Yes, MASM and TASM accept the same syntax (more or less), but they are certainly not identical. MASM demands much more RAM and is far slower - something you of course will not notice on a Pentium. TASM is - like all Borlands languages - nice, fast and compact.

You can overcome that by making conditional compilation, and replace the calls to the graphic functions with calls that print the values to screen. I agree that this solution is not ideal but it works. Turbo Debugger and CodeView do not support symbolic labels for COM files which is one of the reasons I dropped TASM despite having to translate all my library stuff and some larg'ish programs to A86. One irritating thing is that A86 does not support STRUC very well so you will have to work around that.

Rod Whitby and I have talked a little bit about making a cross-platform workstation-mail-app <-> Palmtop News Reader syncronization system. I'd love to hear your thoughts, off-line, about what features you'd want/need. >BTW, I'm using an Amiga as my desktop. I was thinking the workstation side would be written in Perl for cross-platform use and ease of customization (can't hide the logic in an interpreted language!). I figured to write any GUI interfaces in Perl/Tk or Tcl/Tk, at least that runs on UNIX, Mac, Windows, and OS/2 WINOS2 with win32s(?). Looks like Perl 5 will compile on AmigaDOS, that's good to read. >I've tried out GP and looked at quaLX (which seems overly complicated to >install for my needs).

Palmtop News Reader 2.2 (from http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/8287/lxtcp.html) is able to import UNIX mailbox files, which are easy to create from Pine "folders", you might look at that too. I'd be very interested in hearing, off the list, from folks who would be interested in an HP <-> workstation email syncronization system. Seems to me some design goals should be: * works with multiple workstation mail apps (Netscape, Pine, Eudora, ...) * allows each palmtop to deal with > 1 workstation (e.g. home and work), and for each workstation to deal with > 1 palmtop (e.g. husband and wife) * open source (probably GPL license http://www.gnu.org) * multi-platform (UNIX, Windows, hopefully others as testers help debug) * does not affect the palmtop's ability to *also* fetch mail through an internet connection if you have your palmtop set up for that * minimal space required on the palmtop * easy to use, hopefully with at least the most common tasks in a nice GUI (Tk on the workstation, PAL on the palmtop?) * works with multiple palmtop mail readers as specs and demand appear * supports usenet to some degree (?) Basically I really like being able to deal with mail and news on the commute to work but don't like the hassles of downloading with a modem, or having to re-download and cleanup later on my desktop to save important messages. If anyone has comments or ideas, please email me directly. At this point I'm just sketching out some high-level logic, and hoping I have the time to get it done right ;-) -Peter -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 13 Jun 1998 15:05:09 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Franklin Eekhout Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Franklin Eekhout Subject: PDA: Talking to a Nokia 2110?

I have tried the same phone with a 700LX (built-in DTP-2) and a 200LX = with a seperate DTP-2 card. No go. Maybe my phone is bad! But it does = work with GP... Try this, please: Dock the Nokia 2110 phone in a 700LX (or use a 200LX with a DTP-2 card, = use fresh batteries, I nearly had a heart attack when it shutdown, just = giving me double beeps afterwards!) Set up Datacomm to use the phone/com port. 9600,8N1, cts/rts, emulation = doesn't matter, tried vt100, ansi and tty.

The "ignorant" part I've got to take issue with, Bernie. Look around at this group as a whole. HP200LX users seem to me to be some of the most "tool aware" of any user groups I've seen. Also, I think that most of the people on this group have experimented with at least one other palmtop of some type, kind, or sort and wound up back with the 200, simply because the other palmtop did not offer the range of features the 200 (and Dos) offers. I've owned an HP Ce machine. Great for marketing, sales, and manager types. Not so great for people doing technical work of some kind. Also, the HP CE machines are larger; no longer a comfortable "back pocket" carry, IMHO. If I cant carry it easily, I wont carry it. And those belt holsters just remind me too much of the guys in my high school, years ago, with the tape on the glasses and the calculator on the belted plaid pants. I want an upgrade to the 200. But, I want upward compatability. Already got nice apps. Dont feel like lining someone's pocket with "CE" versions of what I have now. If HP makes a "400LX", oh, say a 386 in the same size, I'll be first in line to replace my 200 with out shedding a tear. In the meantime, nobody makes anything that'll do what this 200 can with the same speed, convenience, and ease of use.

I haven't duplicated them exactly, but I can verify that different apps seem to affect current draw-- when I was doing measurements and went into Buddy's EXM, it would drop current drain to 25ma or so.

Unfortunately. It is about 4.5MHz, as far as I know. I think the problem is that XTCE emulates a 80186 chip, not DOS. As such, the amount of work needed by the machine is fairly large just to get instructions emulated. It is possible that when the WinCE machines run cpus at 4 times current speed (say 300MHz) the performance will match the double speed 200LX. It would be interesting when the XTCE can run say at 50-100MHz rate! That may require a CE cpu running at say 750mhz or so. Probably a year or two from now, maybe a little more. I wonder how you measure battery life in minutes! :)... -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 14 Jun 1998 13:13:47 +1000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , wyn@ALPHALINK.COM.AU Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Alain Psyche Subject: Re: CF 2mB...$20 In-Reply-To: <3.0.5.32.19980613093321.00aa7430@comports.com> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT SRAM cards are faster than the Flash but they are really more expensive too.

They are usually some sort of small pc board that has, processor and memory/uarts/peripherals on it. An example of this is the Analog Devices 2100 "EZ-Kit Lite", which another gentleman posted an intersting oscilloscope/signal generator program for that ran on and was controlled by the HP200LX. These eval boards are available for a nominal fee (considering), usually in the US$50 to US$250 range. Most of these have configurable digital and analog I/O, built in UARTs, and every one I've seen has a serial port to talk to the PC that you download your program with. Let me know if you want more info on this.

Unfortunately. It is about 4.5MHz, as far as I know. I think the problem is that XTCE emulates a 80186 chip, not DOS. As such, the amount of work needed by the machine is fairly large just to get instructions emulated. It is possible that when the WinCE machines run cpus at 4 times current speed (say 300MHz) the performance will match the double speed 200LX. It would be interesting when the XTCE can run say at 50-100MHz rate! That may require a CE cpu running at say 750mhz or so. Probably a year or two from now, maybe a little more. I wonder how you measure battery life in minutes! :)... ---------- -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 14 Jun 1998 11:50:05 -0300 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Pablo KIM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Pablo KIM Subject: Re: CF 2mB...$20 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable ...and SRAM need "button battery" to maintain it=B4s memory content. ---------- Alain Psyche wrote: > A:=20 > Asunto: Re: CF 2mB...$20 > Fecha: Domingo 14 de Junio de 1998 12:13 AM >=20 > SRAM cards are faster than the Flash but they are > really more expensive too. >=20 > I have one 2Mg , one 1Mg, and tow 64K > SRAM card for sell. >=20 > Al > Wyn@alphalink.com.au > Melbourne / Australia > http://www.alphalink.com.au/~wyn >=20 -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 14 Jun 1998 08:03:44 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , nancyb@BEST.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Nancy A.

Interesting question. I did a couple more tests on this with Buddy loaded= and = setting the different serial port states. As expected, with Filer as the foreground application, the 25mA measured= with the serial port off or locked increased to about 30mA when the seria= l port = was turned on. = Unloading/closing Filer seems to always turn off the serial port (as reported by Buddy at the bottom of the More Applications screen), so the current was= = always 70mA, as previously reported. The interesting discovery is that turning the serial port on when at the "More" screen with 70mA being consumed reduced the current back to 30mA, and then turning it back off set the current back to 25mA i.e. current consumption has returned to normal levels (serial port controlled via + & - keys). A possible conclusion from this is that closing Filer does something to t= he serial port to increase its current consumption and that turning the seri= al port = on or off via Buddy resets that state back to the normal on/off condition= s that are normally seen.

As with 1.X, lifetime registration is still $29. Registration is good for current and all future versions. When 2.X is released I plan on sending out a complimentary updated manual to all current 1.X registered users. Some of you might have noticed the 'beta' reappearing on 2.14. I added what I think is a very useful feature to the headers-only filter, and decided the way I deleted messages from the folders should be changed now rather than V3. Thus, with a couple major changes added I figured it was best to go back into beta for a week or so. I'm hoping the new changes will not cause any new problems, but they were major enough to justify dropping back to beta. Sorry this release is taking so long, I can't begin to tell you how different it is from V1.

It is rated at 144mA full power and 13mA sleep. All I had to do was plug it in and change the baud rate in CCmail to 19200 (as high as it would go) and it dialed up and downloaded= mail from palmtop.com with no problems. The fastest I was able to go with my EXP 14.4k was 9.6k Next I used LXTCP to dial my local ISP. I set the rate at 33.6k and was able to connect at 38.4k. At first it would connect fine but fail to load the packet driver then say failure to read drive a. I had to plug in the AC adapter and then when I connected the packet driver loaded fine and it doanloaded my mail just fine. I lowered the baud rate in increments and when I got to 19.2k I stpped having problems when on battery power. I had a used pair of lithiums installed. ABC/LX said the voltage was at 2.62 volts. I think this modem will work pretty well for me. At high speeds though I will have to use the AC adapter. At 95 dollars from Computer City it is a bargin.

Thanks for that info. I've wondered if that would work and I've considered trying it a time or two when I really had a difficult problem to find. But it always seemed easier to move it to my laptop or PC and debug it there, than to setup the remote debugger, which I've never used. Maybe I will give it a try though. There are times when it might make life a little easier. I wonder if TC2.0's remote debugger might work from another 200lx even. I guess I'll do some experimenting.

Or with a > file specificaly interfacing to the hplx series and the app manager? There are 3 Forth's for the lx computers that I know of. The first was called Util and was written for the 95lx. I've heard it was pretty buggy but I haven't actually ever seen it. There's a version of Mini-Forth that I modified with the author's permission and source code. I added support for most of the lx features I know how to control at that time. I also added support for both 95lx and 100lx graphics. That includes access to a lot of the internal rom graphics routines. It also included words for some of the lx specific interrupts. There isnt any documentation except the blurb that comes with it and the original mini-forth documentation, but there is a help command that gives all the new words and their stack diagrams. It's available on CIS. The best Forth for the lx computers, IMHO, is the one done by Victor Roberts from Pygmy Forth. I can't remember what he called it but something like Pygmy100 or Forth100.

He's also a Forth programmer (and I'm not) so he had a good feeling for what features to add and how best to add them. Util was commercial and pretty expensive. The others are all freeware. By the way, I've tried out probably over a dozen 16 bit Forth's on the lx to see if they would work and they all did.

You might be able to power it down using Stefan Peichl's LXCIC utility on SUPER.

I bought a Dell laptop used that was about 2 years old, and it worked just fine with the drivers that came with it and the Sandisk flash cards I use on my 200lx. Unfortunately, the laptop turned out to have been stolen and I had to give it up. I did get my money back. It was a nice machine.

I should mention that I was an early adopter (unofficial beta tester) of SC for the palmtop and went through many mods to the files as Sunshine fixed the bugs we pioneers found. It is possible I have a hybrid combination of SC files that was never officially distributed. In fact considering that most people report a 6.90/6.80 version combination rather than my 6.86/6.80 combination this seems to be highly likely. The other person on HPHAND that reported no problems was also in the early adopter group - OTOH other members of that group are seeing this problem. A further HPHAND member has identified not having any problems. The breakdown so far looks like this: Problems reported No problem reported 6.90/6.80 6.86/6.80 6.92/6.80 6.89/6.80 6.80 (Paulo do you have 6.92/6.80 the other version no?) Perhaps people can add to this list - I know the version 7 beta testers saw the bug but do not know the exact serial number there. I will cross post to HPHAND. Hal Goldstein (who does not own the source code only distribution rights) has contacted Ed Tolson (SC author) concerning this problem. Finally to answer David's question, my palmtop is a DS 32+1MB 200LX with a 3MB permanent SC swap file on the C drive.

DECs FX32! translator for X86 binaries under NT is not your average translator - it looks at, dissassembles and REWRITES the application code to optimise it for Alpha. This means that an application can start out with poor performance and then improve considerably with time. I have had no problems with running most of my apps - some compilers will not run under the emulator. A few other Alpha related notes: Some Alphas use a TGA graphics board - TGA will support the CPACK in a window and will permit multiple instances of the CPACK applications to be run If you have floating point intensive tasks then Alpha is the cheapest MIPS you can buy - Intel just isn't in the race and the cost differential is minimal to nonexistant.

(and maybe also in PkZip) I can confirm the same problem on a T2T double speed 32MB 200LX with a 1312K expanded RAM pool (via tremm) with SC versions 6.90(lhs)/6.80 (rhs). I also re-initialised everything and did a restore from backup *three* times before realising that the problem only re-occurred _after_ resetting the date back to 13 Jun 1998 - Australian time, so it happened to me the day before everyone else :-). An even more worrying thing was that my 10MB backup.zip file from my 32MB internal drive (which I store on a flash card) had at least 10 corrupted files in it. I used to use the following commands with lxbackup (one for a monthly full backup, the other one for a daily incremental backup): pkzip -a+ -p -r backup.zip c:\*.* pkzip -i -p -r backup.zip c:\*.* I now add the "-+" and "-(" switches and haven't had any more corrupted files in the backup.zip file, although it's only been two days since I added the extra switches. The worst thing was that this all happened the day before I was to leave on a two week overseas business trip (the time when I need my 200LX most for staying in touch with LXTCP and PNR). So if you think you're doing backups with PkZip, then just test your backup.zip file with pkunzip -t to make sure that the same thing is not happening to you. Once I get back home (and close to backups on Unix machines), then I'll investigate a bit more to see if I can reproduce the problem more than the two times that I saw it two days ago.

Unfortunately it is not obvious exactly when this occurred nor how much mail has been involved, the situation being beyond my control. The only hope is that the sender(s) may have been notified that their mail could not be delivered. Over the last few weeks I have sent several messages to the Mailing List and to individuals but it is also possible that my mail has not been regularly dispatched. If anyone has responded to an initial message from me without getting a reply in return and is still looking for a reply and has enough patience to repeat the message, I shall deal with the matter ASAP. It now seems that the mail problem has been rectified. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused.

It's a breeze to setup, if I remember, on the palmtop you type: tdremote -rs2 Then, on the laptop you type: td -rs2 (programname) With the connectivity pack cable hooked up, the laptop will tell you the version on the palmtop is old or missing, then allow you to load it to the palmtop. Only one thing to remember: Ctrlc-Break the palmtop *before* you exit TD on the laptop. If you do it the other way around, the palmtop will need a Ctrl-Lshit-On reboot. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 15 Jun 1998 07:17:08 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , stefan.peichl@METRONET.DE Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stefan Peichl Subject: LXCIC and Card Power Down MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable LXCIC's feature to power down a card is not restricted to modem cards. You may use it with every other card, if the card supports power down. However, if you use LXCIC as a TSR, only modem cards are powerded down automatically, because the TSR code is only run through for modem cards. That is, if you run LXCIC in TSR mode and want to power down a flash card, you have to do it from the command line with LXCIC/O My 10MB SunDisk flash card powers down by itsself a few seconds after accessing it. So there is no need to do it with LXCIC. To find out, how your flash card behaves, you may use LXCIC/S to monitor the power status of a plug in card.

I'm also ignorant about the apps for Win CE but I do have a good idea of the number of programs for the 200lx. I have no way to compare but I'd be surprised if the number of 200lx apps wasnt hundreds of times greater than the number for CE, and I wouldnt be surprised if there were thousands more. Dos has been around for a long time and as of 1 year ago PC Magazine said that there were still more Dos apps being produced than windows apps.

That doesn't make d86 work in graphics mode. It just lets you debug without it. But it's a lot more work that way. I'd suggest trying Symdeb for debugging. It's symbolic and will work well with Tasm or Masm. It also will let you do something that resembles but actually isn't, source level debugging of C. It's worth having. It even handles switching to and from graphics modes (CGA,not HP) at breakpoints, and lets you look at the graphics screen if you want to. I've written a small program that will convert the A86 map xref file to a Masm-like map file so that you can use Symdeb symbolically with A86 too.

But not past the year 2060, by which time they might have discontinued the 200lx anyway. Actually that's a fairly common thing to do in what are usually referred to (incorrectly) as Julian dates. They are the number of days (or seconds) past a certain starting year. 1900 is used a lot as is 1980. Making the base year more recent means the number is smaller and needs less storage. Often it's chosen to fit within the integer or register size or some other such consideration.

Compuserve's collection license specifially prohibits doing this, I believe. I've heard they take that pretty seriously too.

The 100LX is known not to work with many, many newer flash cards, unfortunately. An example of this is Simple Technologies' STI-ATAFL cards, which are not even compact flash. (see http://www.simpletech.com/pccard/sramtech.htm#ata) At one time, they listed the 100LX as being compat, but it isn't (they took it down). And still, these cards are NOT compat with the OB 300 and 425 listed on their web page. So, don't always believe the vendor's claims. As for San/sundisk: the older SDP cards Do work in the 100lx. I know, I used one in mine. I'm pretty sure, however, that CF cards won't even with the adapter, as a microtech CF-adapter card wouldn't work in my Omnibook, which had essentially the same drivers, hardware as the 100LX. Newer cards want Card Services 2.1 (the 100lx supplies something compat only with 2.0) It gets confusing, and I could be wrong, so... ---- http://comports.com/hplx <--old stuff is new... -------------------------------------------- ***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, 15 Jun 1998 15:38:39 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Brown, William" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Brown, William" Subject: UK repair for LX ? MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Following my posting about batteries dying in days, it happened again this weekend. It even killed the backup battery so 100% data loss ensued. As I put a new backup battery in last week (as insurance following the main batteries dying several times) I was pretty sad about it. So I think the LX is sick - maybe a short of some kind. Does anyone know where in the UK (or Europe) is the place to go for repairs ? Do HP do them, if so where do I start approaching such a vast organisation ? Is it ever worth it...especially with a problem that seems to happen over time, not the kind of thing repair people like. I don't really want to have to buy a new one; they must be the lowest-depreciating XT clone of all time.

But this is good news. I hope many other cards work in it as well, as it only keeps the 100LX alive that much longer...

I have an old Epson (Sundisk) 10 meg flash card and I have a 20 meg (and 15 meg) Sandisk compact flash with adaptors. The adaptors are included free in the 15 and 20 meg versions. They fit well, are sturdy, and are tested for 10,000 insertions. So I don't think they're a considerations. Checking the specs on the Sandisk website, I found they both had the same numbers, even though I often didn't know the meaning of the numbers. But it seems that they have the same power consumption and expected life and mean time between failures. The big difference is that the compact flash cards are a LOT cheaper.

After I had all these SC problems I discovered that it was reporting that I had an invalid media descriptor byte.

Contact Borland (now Inprise) and they'll sell you a license to copy an out of date version of one of their programs for $50. Then with that license, anyone who has the program can legally give you a copy of it. I don't know of any company but Borland that does this and, in my opinion, it's pretty nice of them to do it. They've always been the most accomodating about licensing issues.

My problems are NOT with the resource pool. I've set aside much more space than is needed.= I am slowly finding what causes SC to hang during Initialization and wh= at it accepts. Example, long ago I added this to my Autoexec.BAt file set comspec=3Dd:\dos\command.com Now this isn't really needed as the default 'comspec=3Dcommand' that it= starts with works fine but I've found that I can't remove my version without SC hanging. I wo= nder if SC is sensitive to the DOS environment? I know I tell it to set up 2048 bytes of envir= onment space in SCCONFIG. Maybe that is unusual enough that SC freaks out ??? Another odd thing was while trying to get it up I added a TSR ahead of = SC's start that I normally start in the individual work areas. By reducing the available RAM it a= llowed SC to start. When I removed the TSR, SC started hanging again. That was late yesterday a= nd until I saw news about the date sensitivity in the list today it was the first indi= cation that all was not lost. Whatever the real cause, I'm slowly getting my 200LX back to normal. I= 'm very relieved to find that I don't have a busted palmtop, just a slightly flakey task sw= itcher.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have been playing with SC on my palmtop and have now developed `the fault'. Previously I had been stopping and restarting SC without rebooting under the assumption that once SC was unloaded that was all that mattered however this evening I reset the date back and played around verifying that I could consistently reinitialise SC without problems UNTIL I rebooted the palmtop at which point I developed the same problem everyone else has been reporting. The only way I can think to explain this (and my Dos knowledge is hazy) is that rebooting must set an environment variable that SC uses internally? Anyone know what environment variables are set internally by Dos - anything like boot date for example? Other people on HPHAND that had reported no problems are also recinding their statements after further testing - there is only one holdout for no problems and he has been unavailable to comment.

Benson" Organization: The Iona Group Subject: One more time: no modem connection MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have pulled out my Smart fax/modem PCMCIA card that I frequently used several years ago with my HP200lx. Cannot get it to work. No dial tone. Can you guys help me out? I have emailed the tech support people at Smart Technology (now Apex). They have not responded. Here's the set up: 1. The card is set up as drive G. I am able to communicate with the card as a data storage drive without any problems (read and write). I can run 200lx application programs from the data files stored on the card. So, it seems that the machine is able to communicate with the card. It has a capacity of 4 megs and has about 1.3 megs free. 2. The G drive has an autoexec.bat and a config.sys file on it, and the C drive also has an autoexec.bat and config.sys file on it. The autoexec.bat file on the C drive has the following line: d:\bin\cic100 /gen1 (no rem in front of it) 3. The modem driver is smdriver.sys 3,305 bytes and is installed on the G drive and the C drive. 4. The DataCom setting are as follows: 1. Baud = 9600 2. Com2 3. Parity even, Data Bits 7, Stop Bits 1 4. Emulation VT100 5. Xon 6. Phone number is entered in the little box, and I checked that the line has a dial tone. 5. I am using the same phone cord that came with the modem. Connections to the modem card (connection is to the card, not the serial port) and wall phone jack are tight and good. 5. When I push the connection key, I get a message on the Datacom screen that says: ATDTphonenumber, no dial tone. I hear no dial tone from the 200lx at all. 6. I am trying to connect to CompuServe. The CompuServe phone number is good since I connected to CompuServe successfully on my PC. 7. A few people asked me to check the autoexec.bat file on the C drive to make sure it had the cic100 line in it. I checked it and it DOES have the line. (Yes, the machine boots to the C drive.) Any other ideas? I still get NO CONNECTION or DIAL TONE. Thanks in advance. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 15 Jun 1998 21:52:59 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "m. c.

Beg/borrow/steal another one long enough to see if it works in your HP. Use a generic setup like the one in the built-in CC-Mail application. If It works, you know it's likely broken. If it doesnt, pray it is really a setup problem, since that would otherwise point to a problem with the 200LX itself.

With my original version of Sc the system hang up completely when i attempted to launch alpha 4 ver. 2.1 ( a programmable relational database for Dos that use standard dbf file) from dos command line in any work area of SC. So for this reason my version was upgraded from Sunshine (the former owner of SC). Finally with the new version of SC Alpha works but the work area where i launched it, if i forget, before schwitching to another work area, to close completely the programm, become "frozen". The screen shows the same image and the HP don't accept any keyboard input other than reset or switching to other areas. I am partially satisfied, because at least I can switching to the other work areas, where all works normally. I don't understand because this happens, it depends from SC or Alpha ?

I borrowed a Ripoff pouch from my mother-in-law (she uses a 100LX for geneology research), and decided I didn't like it as well as my leather pouch that I bought from EduCalc. The main problem as I saw it was that the PCMCIA card pocket caused the card to stick way up, peeking out of the top of the pocket. It seemed to be begging for damage. Also, it only had one pocket. Mine has two, one inside for PCMCIA cards, and a second one outside, that I use for various items (business cards, postage stamps, notepad, etc...). BTW, I probably use the most unusual combination to carry my pouch. I modified the pouch by sewing in a heavy duty ring in the top, and I clip this ring onto the belt clip that came with my Post slide rule!

I'm using the credit card slots in the back of my leather organizer. The leather slots are a tight but reasonable fit for at least 2 cards and my 200LX just sits on top of a reduced number of inserts and paper, the whole of which sits on top of (and hopefully protects) the cards.

I've noticed some wackiness with Alpha Four 1,1b under MaxDOS. It didn't freeze, but gave me a blank screen on starting A4. If I remembered what buttons to push I could get back to MS-DOS. The best fix seemed to be a combination of "mode co80" in autoexec.bat, and setting video mode "-v3u" on the MaxDOS application entry.

The Dell Win95 that I have at the desk in the lab is reasonably stable. The HP Vectras in the lab are death on wheels. Of course, pretty much ANYTHING in a lab is an accident waiting to happen. If only I could convince people NOT TO TAKE A FLOPPY OUT OF THE DRIVE BEFORE THE LITTLE GREEN LIGHT GOES OUT. Even thought of putting a happy face next to it... Now the Macs in the lab are strangely stable... Back to the WinCE bruhaha. I think if you look at the satisfied owners of WinCe vs. the owners of an LX, you will note that there is a very different demographic and usage pattern. I picked up my LX ~18 months ago because I was disatisfied with the Sharp Wizard/PowerMac combination that I was using. I loved the Sharp's portability, but it was pretty much just a PIM. I loved my PowerMac's versatility and stability, but I would want a wagon to pull it around in :(. The LX won over a Newton, a Psion, and WinCE because it a) had a wide variety of software packages to install and use; b) had a great set of PIM apps; c) was programmable without leaping through hoops; d) I could play Angband on it. D being the most important of course. I can see someone being really impressed with a WinCe machine if they own or use Win95 and MSOffice a lot and like the two. For most people, the selling point is the reasonable level of compatability between Office and WinCE. And, yes, I know that the LX with DOS based apps can do a much better job of running and communicating with Windows. The lack of a pointing device and gobs of icons will turn off many, less tech-oriented users. WinCE LOOKS easier and more powerful, ergo people assume that it is, and no doubt they will be just as happy with it as they are with their gigantic, overblown desktop, which has computing power twice that of NORAD in the 1970's. I like the LX becuase it has never crashed on me. If it is mostly text based, I'll live with it.

Ah! Here we go. For snug, protective, elegant, and attractive story of one card, you need only use the storage space provided in the palmtop! But seriously... I wonder if a brass case designed for a 12C, or even the basic soft one included, would work. I'm thinking that the height of the 12C is just about the height of a PC card, in which case you could probably store two or three (or four) cards in a 12C case.

DTR =3D Data Terminal Ready (pin 4 on the HP serial port) GND =3D Signal Ground (pin 5 " " " " " ) RXD =3D Receive Data (pin 2 ) There's a diagram of the port connector on page 26-8 in the 200LX manual, or 35-3 in the 100LX manual. I haven't seen the doc on making this connector, but the 2nd number in each pair is the pin number on the HP serial port. Maybe the first number is the pin # for the mini DIN connector... Don't know if the HP cable has consistent color codes, so you'll probably need to check which wire goes to what pin with an ohmmeter.

I've thought of emulating Lynx by replacing all the fonts with monospaced ones (because there are times when I actually need to view monospaced HTML text), but even then it would give some problems as the keyboard controls are somewhat different to those in Lynx (which I use often).

The 95LX can only operate at 2400bps when using IR, so make sure you set the 200LX for 2400bps as well. Other than the communications settings being wrong, I can only think of the IR reciever being broken. That would explain why you could send and not recieve. I don't know how to fix it, though.

All of the support structure of the 200LX is compatible: the hardware, the BIOS, and the built-in software. There has been some concern about Lotus 1-2-3, but it seems that it will cause only minor changes in column widths... although I almost never use it, so I'm not sure about that. The software you RUN on the 200LX, on the other hand, may well be Y2K incompatible. I believe Quickens prior to version 5 were not compliant, but few of us run those on the palmtop anyway. -- Visit the 200LX site at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 16 Jun 1998 19:52:07 EDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , FIGLIO4CAP@AOL.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Robert Figlio Subject: Re: FS exp 1414c modem cellular $15 Comments: To: riley@IGLOU.COM Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit o you still have the modem?

The LX has to stop what it's doing, store some information, get the character, restore that information, and go back to what it was doing. If another character completes before it's done all this you lose it. With a 16550, the chip can buffer a few characters itself so it's alot less critical, but instead of "get the character", you need to "get all the characters". You save the interrupt latency but still need to process those characters into the buffering mechanism. With Ethernet, you get one interrupt every packet (64 to 1540? bytes) and usually a more efficient method to deal with the data. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 16 Jun 1998 20:32:58 EDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Hobchi@AOL.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Al Chin Subject: Re: PCMCIA Case?

Currently the entire emulation is written in C/C++ (with small parts of the XT BIOS written in x86 assembly). Whereas this allows me to write very portable code (90% of the emulation can be compiled for any system with a decent C++ compiler), it doesn't produce the fastest code on earth. My first aim is to produce an XT clone that is as portable and compatible as possible. I'm sure that the more far-sighted of you will realise that this is probably the only way machines will run DOS programs in the future. Once this goal is nearing completion as will hopefully be the case with the next version, I will be spending my efforts on rewriting portions of the CPU emulation in RISC assembly for the MIPS and SH3 processors. Currently the emulation runs at the speed of an XT anywhere between 4.77 Mhz and 8 Mhz (depending on which machine you run it on and how you measure the speed). I expect this to increase at least 4x when the CPU emulation has been rewritten... This should put it up with the double speed 200LXs... This is a very new product (I haven't even released a retail version as yet), give it time... The video emulation is already 5-10x faster than the first version I did. The INT5F PAL emulation is at least 10x faster than running INT5F TSR's under the emulation... As a group I'm trying to cater for HP-LX users as much as possible as I realise that this group is most likely to need a product like this in the future. Currently I've provided INT5F (PAL) and 80186 (as opposed to 8086) emulation purely to accomodate ex-HPLX users. When time allows I will probably try to get portions of the HP-LX BIOS to run under XTCE. This will allow users of the built-in applications to run them under XTCE as well. I also plan on porting XTCE to the Psion 5 at some stage. This will allow some people to run a non-MS DOS (such as Caldera DR-DOS) on a non-Intel non-Microsoft palmtop, which can't be a bad thing... What is XTCE?: XTCE emulates a 80186 CPU with up to 992Kb of RAM (736Kb conventional, 256Kb upper memory), 2 x 360Kb-2.88Mb floppy drives, full CGA (with colour on colour machines), a mouse, all standard XT hardware (with the exception of the DMA controller). This allows XTCE to 'boot' almost any operating system designed for a XT compatible computer. XTCE has been tested with MS DOS up to (and including) v 6.22, Caldera OpenDR-DOS up to (and including) v 7.02, ELKS (embedded Linux kernel), Windows 3.0 and a large amount of DOS software including some games (Larry, Flight Simulator, Frotz). It also is able to run most INT5F (PAL) applications, it has been tested with HV (HTML viewer), PalEdit (editor), Dominoes and samples from the PAL developer library. The retail version will also emulate a hard disk and (as a free upgrade later), be able to access the WindowsCE file system as a network drive. There are already utilities at present to copy files between the WindowsCE and DOS file systems. In addition there will be a free documented API, allowing third party developers to make XTCE addons to emulate other hardware (or to run other APIs like INT5F natively). Hope this was of some interest...

Lange" Organization: Capacity Provisioning , Littleton, CO Subject: Text files in Memo MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I recently went to an interview where the person interviewing me had a copy of my resume that I had emailed to them earlier (from my HP200 of course). I noticed that it didn't look very good because there were returns in the middle of lines. It appeared that whatever this person had used to print my resume used fewer characters per row than I had set up in Memo. I had set my left margin at 1 and my right at 81. Although they're not shown, I believe Memo inserts soft returns at the end of each line (at the count of 81 characters), thereby causing the half lines that I saw on this hard copy. Is there any way, short of setting the margins conservatively (say at 1 and 65) that you can set up Memo to have text files adapt to the recipients particular settings? Thanks for any help.

You can use an old copy of Word for windows or dos or use the docrtf utility to convert formatted memo files to an RTF document.

Speaking from personal experience, they have either discontinued the $50 license program, or never had it to begin with. The _only_ way to obtain a license for an abandoned Borland product is to buy a version they still sell, not use that product, and instead use the older version (wherever you can get it from). With Turbo C++, version 1.0 works on the palmtop, so you would buy a newer version (I believe they still sell 3.0 for DOS Ýwhich cannot run on the 200LX¨ and 4.5 for Windows) and then not use the version you purchased, but instead use 1.0. -- 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, 17 Jun 1998 12:04:03 EDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Daniel Z.

I'm checking out the job market these days and I'm finding (as maybe the original poster did) that more of the interviewers these days are asking for the resume in plain ASCII, merged in the body of the note. Presumably this obivates the need for them to OCR scan the document for keyword searches and perhaps all attached word-processor formats are just converted to a lowest-common denominator format for filing. That being the case, the unexpected breaks caused by Memo shouldn't affect anything but the aesthetics, but I'm in complete sympathy with someone who meets an interviewer holding a mis-formatted copy of their resume . - Longden PS - The 200LX is my job-hunting nerve center right now.

Thanks for the info. Al. That means that the SanDisk cards should work in the Omnibook 300 then. Do you have access to a Omnibook to try it? Also I was wondering if anybody has or is using one of those SanDisk ImageMate External Flash Memory Drives ($99.98 PC Zone).

I do have too a second ISP and would be interested if you (or >others) could give me some more background information and/or resources.= There are three ways: 1) If you can log into your other account, you can telnet from DOSCIM and read your mail. I can for example telnet to jaguar.westminster.ac.uk, login and execute the UNIX mail program from my account. 2) You can execute a DOS-ppp program that connects to Compuserve PPP and use any DOS mail program set up to fetch mail at your current ISP. This will not work if your current ISP have hidden their mail server under a special login (I cannot for example fetch my Compuserve mail from my University account as CIS wants me to login (=3Dpay)). (I would think you can do 1) and/or 2) from the Internet Cafe's around the world and save the CIS account if you just want to read your mail). 3) You can change your mail address to one of the mail redirection servers, for example BIGFOOT (www.bigfoot.com) and tell your friends to mail you via Harry@bigfoot.com (or whatever name you use) in future. You can anytime change the final mail address from your current ISP to Compuserve and later change back. This is free of charge and they seem to have good spam-protection as I have never received any via bigfoot (but after this remark I will probably be swamped!). Some professional organisations also provide this kind of redirection (eg IEEE).

XT-CE is looking to carry us well into the future, after HP has phased out the 200LX and is focusing full-time on the WinCE machines. Did anybody see on HP's web site that the 660LX is out now? It appears to be a 620LX with 32MB RAM and a 56K modem built-in. Nothing too exciting. Now, if the battery life of the WinCE machines can be improved, and the speed greatly extended to run XT-CE as fast as a 200LX, we'll actually have a decent replacement when our 200LX's break down!

It would be nice if HP would add a color screen and internal modem to the 200LX. The 620 is too big though and has a lousy battery life. I disagree with people that say there is no market for a dos based palmtop. If the 200LX is failing now (and from my perspective it's not) its only because it isn't keeping up with the market. The WinCE palmtops have backlighting, color screens, builtin modems. I can't say how many times people that are looking at palmtops and trying to decide what to buy have made their decision on whether it has a backlight. Forget the fact that you can't even store the pim data on a flash with CE or that its buggy or that it doesn't even have a decent calculator built-in. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 17 Jun 1998 23:16:43 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "S.Todd" <70312.462@COMPUSERVE.COM> Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "S.Todd" <70312.462@COMPUSERVE.COM> Subject: UK repair for LX ?

Some need a special driver, others do not, depending upon the card and/or the host computer or (nowadays) camera. With newer-technology cards coming along, this situation will presumably become more complex. Since the major advantages of flash cards include the ease, speed and reliability of transference of moderately large amounts of data between computers, compatibility is critical. Yet in this regard the humble and cheap floppy disk leaves the flash card for dead! That having been said, I would appreciate any help that can be given to solve my own peculiar (?) problem. I have just acquired one of the latest 48Mb flash cards (not the compact variety), intended partly for use on my 100LX and partly for exchanging data with my 200LX. I also have an older 4mb Sandisk card which is used regularly with Stacker for the same purposes. The problem is that the new card is recognised by the 200LX but not the 100LX, even with a recommended driver, yet my laptop recognises both. The new card was immediately up and running on the 200LX, but at first would not operate when compressed using Stacker. With the benefit of helpful advice I reformatted the new card on the 200LX, which apparently changes the original 4Kb cluster configuration to 2Kb. This did the trick and the 200LX immediately recognised nearly 97Mb free on the card (this raising another question for a later message). However, the 100LX refused to recognise the new card. The suggested driver, Acecard.com, was then installed in the 100LX and, after rebooting, several lines appeared essentially as follows:- SRAM driver resident HP100 driver Shadowed drive A Running on a HP 100LX Driver resident (10224 bytes) Eventually the final part was:- Invalid media type reading drive A Abort? Etc. Obviously the driver is not allowing the 100LX to read the new card; but where does the problem lie? I have acquired and installed the driver twice, so it has presumably not been corrupted, unless it is not the correct driver for this particular task. The 100LX seems to behave normally in other respects and reads the Sandisk card. Is it possible that the Acecard driver is designed for a card formatted with 4Kb clusters? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in anticipation, Barry Collins TEAM 200LX -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 18 Jun 1998 14:09:09 +0010 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , wyn@ALPHALINK.COM.AU Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Alain Psyche Subject: Re: Spanish Palmtop's mailing list Comments: To: Pablo KIM In-Reply-To: <199806171532.MAA16397@movinet1.movi.com.ar> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: Quoted-printable Bonjour,(ola) je ne parle pas de regle mais de courtoisie amigo.

Being a non-Lotus user, it took me a few minutes to figure it out, but do @DATE(100,x,x) for dates in 2000, @DATE(101,x,x) for dates in 2001, etc. Then you need to adjust the column width (Worksheet...Column...Set-Width) to be able to display the four-digit dats.

Unfortunaetly, it appears that Iomega is not actually making them yet, with all the trouble the company has been having. The information on their web site used to state that they would focus on having Clik drives integrated into newly-built products first, and the drives later. But I don't see that anymore...

It lets you toggle on/off sound, dialing, prefix, mail, news, shell, and then you can press the connect button and it will perform all of the tasks that were toggled on. If you are connecting via PAP/CHAP the only PPP/CHAT configuration required is adding user, password, and phone number to the configuration file, no reading the chat.man, pppd.man, samples.txt, etc trying to piece everything together. It uses the following programs: epppd.exe, chat.exe, pnrti.exe, lxpop.exe lxnntp.exe I am currently looking for a couple of people to test it, Preferably someone who is already using LXTCP, since configuring that is another (much less complicated) ordeal, and one at a time is enough. It started out as an LXBatch command in my connect batch file to prompt for dialing prefix, as I always seem to be bouncing back and forth between the office and home. Then I decided to toggle on/off the sounds since it sometimes disturbs others, but I typically find it entertaining. That of course required dynamically creating the chat script, which then led me to dynamically creating the PPP configuration, by this time I figured I better clean it up for everyone else :-) -- 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, 18 Jun 1998 22:57:42 +1200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Lawrence Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Lawrence Subject: Re: Text files in Memo MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > From: Thomas C.

I have a macro that runs 123, loads a file with a date function that picks the day & pastes it into an event in appt. It's easy to get the LX to paste the date in --/--/-- format, but I like to be able to know what day of the week it was when revewing, so 123 chooses from Saturday thru Friday with this function string. (entered with no spaces) @CHOOSE(@MOD(@DATEVALUE(@NOW),7),"SATURDAY","SUNDAY", MONDAY","TUESDAY","WEDNESDAY","THURSDAY","FRIDAY") This is in the A1 cell. In B1, formatted to show the date like my LX is setup and widened from the std column width to 12 to show all the date when into the Y2K (I tried this and it works into the next century!) B1 has simply, @NOW to give the date. The macro copies the contents of cells A1&B1 & pastes them into my journal.

Indeed, you are correct in your observation. I think the issue/concern was whether it ran the palmtop display in text or graphics mode. I don't know exactly why the original poster was concerned, but one application does come to mind - usabilty for the blind. I'm aware (but have never investigated this) that there are various systems that convert the text on your screen to a braille output device. I'm pretty sure that the computer has to run in text mode for these things to work. Perhaps there are other reasons why one would want text mode over graphics mode, but this was the first to come to mind. Maybe the orignal poster can comment... -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

Better still if you want to have a forum in spanish, start your own list in spanish since yor using spanish will be read by only spanish speakers. As for your argument, use it with the FAA.

But then things had been easier if another e-mail list was created for each language (don't ask me who should do it and so on). I love this list and it's very interesting to see how people all over the world is using their palmtop and new ideas, problems etc. But if we start to use different languages on this list, it will waste a lost of bandwidth. If I can't = read a significant amount of messages on this list- why should I then subscribe to it! Since all on this list write and read English- let's use it. If we start to allow different languages on this list then we will soon see- English, Swedish, Malay, Chinese, Spanish, French, German and so on and it will be very uninteresting since we all will start to loose interesting information. This list is here so we can share information- right? However, it's nothing wrong with a message in another language asking for people speaking the same language and would like to discuss specific language related stuff. Then you can all have a private forum where you simply create a address list with the groups e-mail addresses.

It would be nice if HP would add a color screen and internal modem to the 200LX. The 620 is too big though and has a lousy battery life. I disagree with people that say there is no market for a dos based palmtop. If the 200LX is failing now (and from my perspective it's not) its only because it isn't keeping up with the market. The WinCE palmtops have backlighting, color screens, builtin modems. I can't say how many times people that are looking at palmtops and trying to decide what to buy have made their decision on whether it has a backlight. Forget the fact that you can't even store the pim data on a flash with CE or that its buggy or that it doesn't even have a decent calculator built-in. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 18 Jun 1998 08:03:41 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , sponsor@FTEL.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "A.

The 200LX is right on the edge of being too big to be practical. It is not fortunately, but only a little more weight or increased length/width/depth and it would not fit my needs as I would not take it everywhere with me. The 620LX is a monster by palmtop standards; too big and heavy to be really useful for me. As for desktop companionship, that is not what the 200LX is about. It is for many, myself included, a desktop/laptop replacement, not just a temporary storehouse for data that you dump to a Pentium for doing real work.

Okay, here we go. I want y'all to know at the outset that I'm a dedicated, loyal 200LX cult member, but I'm also a realist. If a color screen and an internal modem were added to the 200LX (which won't happen - sorry), the battery life would be just as poor as those WinCE devices. A shame that HP dropped the idea of a DOS palmtop, but hey, WinCE is pretty and easily marketed and DOS 5 is neither. For the brainless megastore-mindset ingrained into today's non-Real computer users, DOS=Hell. It's too bad, but that's how it works. >I can't say how many times people that are looking at >palmtops and trying to decide what to buy have made their >decision on whether it has a backlight.

Well, think of it this way: you can buy an expensive car with headlights, or an expensive car without headlights. The one with headlights, via some added stuff, can run just as well (and do the same things) as the one without headlights. The one with headlights is also the one you can drive at night. The fact of the matter is, WinCE devices, via XTCE, are closing in fast on the shredded remains of the 200LX market. We can love our 200LXes, and at the moment we can buy new ones when the old ones break, but the market is for yuppies with money. The palmtop has ceased to become a productivity tool, and has become, through Microsoft (and, largely, HP corporate) a product for people that consider having an expensive and useless device a status symbol. The market has shifted from Volkswagen to Lamborghini. One closing thought, if it raises your hopes any: VOLKSWAGEN JUST BOUGHT LAMBORGHINI! AND ROLLS-ROYCE!

Well, I run it the other way around! I put Interlnk in the DOS session on the desktop, and INTERSVR runs on the palmtop when I need it, i.e. it does not take up unnecessary RAM. On the desktop: I do it for W95 regularly, i.e. load up the Interlnk, just change the CONFIG.SYS, yes there is one! :) In NT, you can tailor the DOS window you start up with whatever drivers you want to load in there. I don't recall exactly how, it is about 1.5 years since I did it last. Then you run on the palmtop intersvr, which makes the plamtop just another server or "disk" to the desktop. You can control all the stuff from the desktop keyboard. Avi M.

I might point out to you that the width of the word in the operating system makes ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE. This is a buzzword which is repeated over and over with little or no thought. Excellent systems have been written in 8-bit wordsize. You never know the difference, it is only the compiler writers who know the difference. If they are smart, it makes no difference. If they are not as smart in producing a good compiler, then they buzz everyone with the width of the word. Sorry, Bernard, this is not even holding enough bits to make a whit of difference. Let's get informed here, eh? :) > As for size, yes, the 620/660 are a bit larger than the 200, but so > what? The keyboard is a lot better, the screen is light years ahead and > I have two PC/CF card slots. So what? That is a major point with people who like to close the machine and put it into their pocket. I need another arm for the WinCE machines. I am willing to live with a screen that is not great but DEFINITELY usable (no 200LX user ever sued HP for blindness!) And I am willing to live with a usable keyboard (with a major advantage in numeric keyboard instead of a wrenching overlay) - Where I can take my palmtop, you can only come along and watch over my shoulder in despair and jealousy, because you can't drag that beast you love so much. > HP has done an outstanding job of producing a true desktop companion in > the 620/660 and its sales reflect this. The 200 was a great machine in > its time, but time, HP and the market have moved on. Now we are talking: Finally you came to grips with the WinCE machines! They are companions to desktops, and probably very very good ones. Well, it has been said at least 5 million time give or take about 4.9 million, the palmtop (I mean the Palmtop, not the pregnant companion! :) ) the 200LX is my MAIN machine. I run all my businesses on it. I am on the road this summer away from my office and have found it to be the best item in my luggage except toothbrush and clean underwear. I guarantee you that you could not continue with Shore as I continue with D&A (and the other stuff I do) while dragging the 620/660LX along. So let's agree here: For a desktop companion, I won't argue - the WinCEs are great! But if you carry your desktop with you, NOTHING beats the 200LX! You are in the first camp, I am in the second. I appreciate the information you provided, but it lacked the main ingredient: the realisation that we are discussing two totally, incompatible, and inexchangeable styles of work - "tethered" and "loose". Don't get me wrong - I have tested many WinCE machines. I have at home (in storage really) 6 of these babies (the 660 is the latest). I am not critical of them sinece they fit a work style I do not have. But for me, and hundreds of thousands of others who are "road warriors" the 200LX is unbeatable, while the Wince does not answer the needs. Not at all a bad machine, just not what we need. Anyway, that is the only distinction that I missed in your otherwise pretty informative exposee! Thanks for the post! Oh and I'll write privately soon for some merchandise! :) Be well, my friend!

There are far from "hundreds of thousands" of people out there using a 200lx. I would be EXTREMELY suprised if there were still thousands, let alone a hunderd thousand. Lets get realistic now, total sales figures for the 200lx don't have anything to do with actual use, do you think that everyone that ever bought a pet rock or hula hoop is still using it? I agree that it is quite an impressive machine and for some people it is the perfect system for portable use but I would be willing to bet that of the original sales numbers less than 5% are still in active use, if that many.

At 2400 the connection may or may not be established. Just because it says PPP established it does not mean you really have a connection. Check for example the IP that was provided for you, probably something like 20.0.0.0 - not a valid IP! Reasons: 2400 probably too slow. Your setup may not be completely correct. Sure it "seems" to go fine to the URL, but then DNS does not reply. Let me explain: The very first thing that happens when you open a URL is it must be translated from the "word" to an IP number, i.e. from "www.dasoft.com" for example, to the numeric representation. That is the job of DNS. When we try to access the DNS for this service (the transaltion) nothing happens, (the connection is dead, despite what it appears to be!), so after some time, the program concludes that the DNS does not answer. > Has anyone experienced similar situations?

Well, what have the 400,000 people who have purchased DOS-based LX computers done with them-- thrown them away? Gone over to WinCE machines? Changed over to PalmPilot? Perhaps some of them, but most of them (who probably bought it for the Lotus and DOS capabilities) would not be able to replace their 200LX with anything on the market. 5% of 400,000 is still 20,000, and I would bet that there are still at least 50,000 DOS-based LX users worldwide. The vast majority of the 200LX users I've encountered in person have never heard of HPHand or HPLX-L, and don't seem to be tremendously interested in communicating with other 200LX users... so we never get to hear from them. :) -- Visit the 200LX site at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 18 Jun 1998 17:24:40 -0700 Reply-To: David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: html viewer Comments: To: "R.

There is a program called TRAN that sounds similar to the SBAITSO and READ (I think that's what it was called) programs for the old Sound Blaster. I tried it on the 200LX back in early 1995... it worked, but not very well. > (I use the word *read* in the loosest sense - it sounded often like > the cyborgs from Battle Star Galactica.

Now, add a little bit of static and run it through a PC speaker, and enclose the speaker inside a thick plastic case, and you can understand how TRAN sounds. -- Visit the 200LX site at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 18 Jun 1998 17:29:36 -0700 Reply-To: David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: The Best HP Palmtop ÝRE: XTCE¨ Comments: To: Joe Barrera In-Reply-To: <4D0A23B3F74DD111ACCD00805F31D81008C708F4@red-msg-50.dns.microsoft.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Thu, 18 Jun 1998, Joe Barrera wrote: > ... was and still is the HP-71B. > > The 95LX was HP's sell-out to the world of Microsoft OS domination.

I must point something out here, though: when the 95LX, 100LX, and 200LX were released, there were already plenty of DOS programs available. Windows CE created a whole new platform, leading to a lack of programs-- so the very thing HP could brag about with the DOS-based palmtops was the worst part about WinCE. On the other hand, the RISC processors and other new hardware embodied in the WinCE devices (color screens, voice recorders, 56k modems) helps alleviate the software troubles... -- Visit the 200LX site at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 18 Jun 1998 18:05:02 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Peniel Romanelli Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Peniel Romanelli Subject: Wince...

Avi hit the nail on the head when he pointed out that the wince machines (no matter how good they may be) are PC COMPANIONS - NOT palmtop PCs like the 200LX. For several years, my 100LX and now an 8Mb 2x speed 200LX IS my PC. As for "modern" OSs, none comes close to passing the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid!) test. DOS does. If the 200LX disappears, and I'm faced with the need to buy a machine thats too big for a pocket, and has short battery life, I'll go for the Libretto. AFAIK it doesn't need a "companion". -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: Thu, 18 Jun 1998 23:42:04 +0200 Reply-To: Laust Brock-Nannestad Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Laust Brock-Nannestad Subject: Re: html reader In-Reply-To: <199806172233.PAA08637@ftel.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Wed, 17 Jun 1998, A.

Actually, I was merely stating that HV was not text based, since no one else seemed to mention it and since the original poster was looking for a text based system. Text based browsers are usually faster than graphics based, which is why I often use Lynx at home even though I have Netscape and thelike. Actually, HV isn't bad, and certainly faster and smaller than BobCat (previously known as DosLynx).

Gone over to WinCE machines? Folks, Let's not forget those who purchased used machines. If there were 380,000 unused machines floating around then used machines would be sitting on helves at every small reseller in the US. Used machines would also cost $10 - $20 Anyone want to sell me some at that price?

If I were faced with the dilemma of not having the ability to replace my 200LX then (once I had got over being depressed) I would look at possibly using (grudgiungly) a Psion Series 5. This is not because I am a Psion fan (I am really not *that* keen on them) but I believe that they are the best of what is available. They have retained the true pocket size (unlike the higher specified Geofox that I would prefer had it been smaller). The Psion also comes with a reasonable set of applications that are far more complete than what you get with any WinCE machine. It is also programmable as it comes (not that I would be programming it every day) that adds some degree of flexibility and incentives for third parties to create applications. I also like the fact that the keyboard of the Psion is real keys instead of buttons. Personally, I have always got on very well with the HP200LX (and 95 and 100), buttons because you know that you have pressed them without looking at the screen (you do not get this with any other palmtop that I have seen to date (unless you know different). The Psion also does not have a numeric keypad (Big drawback for me (the Geofox does so I may still go for that version of the EPOC O/S). I really do agree with your sentiments towards DOS. It should never have been dropped. The best games still appear (at least to me) to be running in a DOS environment. Graphics are better and everything runs faster. I use my HP200LX to send Faxes all over the place and also occasional Internet/Email connections whilst on the road using a cellular modem. It is rock steady and rarely complains about my abuses. Long live the HP200LX!

Nah, that was the HP150. The 95LX was a new thing in many ways, but a good bit of the technology in it is the legacy of the 110 and Portable Plus notebooks, and the 110 was an MS-DOS machine for interoperability with the HP150. Well, at least they could understand each other's disk formats. I keep a couple of Portable Pluses charged up and ready to go for when I want to go off somewhere and type for a while. On a full charge I can go all day.

I would not be suprised if the vast majority of those who bought 200lx's have just stuck them in a closet, after moving up to a notebook, or subnotebook or whatever.

The vast majority of people put them in a closet and eventually toss them out, or give them to a kid to play with. Most people would view the 200lx as virtually worthless since it doesn't run todays software. People on this list are unique in that they really appreciate the computer for what it is and its capabilities. The average buyer was probably more of a PIM user and just looks at it as a glorified PIM. As such it is considered disposable. Also, just because something sells in great numbers doesn't mean that it will show up for resale in great numbers. If that was true we would be up to our ears in older computer systems. Pete Peter W.

I would not be suprised if the vast majority of those who That's true, but it's also true that the only place you can buy a Commodore 64, an Atari, or an Apple II today is when somebody sells it for $20, or donates it to a thrift store. I used to work in the computer division of a large chain of thrift stores, fixing up old computers that were donated so they could be sold. I can't tell you the number of Commodores, Atari's, and Apple IIe's and IIc's that came through my doors. BUT, I never saw a single 95LX, 100LX, or 200LX. In addition, HP is still making them-- which they wouldn't do if they weren't selling. I agree that eventually they will end up in exactly the same place as the Commodores and Apples-- in thrift stores. But I think we're still five or six years away from seeing large numbers of 200LX's filling the shelves. (I hope I'm wrong, as that would indicate that a replacement has come along. I haven't seen one yet.) > bought 200lx's have just stuck them in a closet, after moving up to a > notebook, or subnotebook or whatever. I would be suprised if there > are still 20,000 active users, people who use it more than maybe once > a year when they run across it. As was previously pointed out, the 200LX is still very popular in Japan, and this is (in my opinion) largely due to advertising. Think about it: had the 200LX been promoted with some of the slogans and campaigns proposed in the Palmtop Paper years ago, there would likely be several million more units around. But that's really not the point. Every person who I've steered into buying a 200LX in the past few years has found it useful and continued using it. Friends, relatives, co-workers... of the perhaps twenty or thirty people I've steered towards purchasing a 200LX, almost all of them are still using it. True, some have asked me about the PalmPilot and Windows CE machines, but only one or two have switched over (and in one case, my cousin bought a Pilot 5000 and switched back to his 200LX after two weeks). The idea that a 200LX user would stick it in a closet and forget about it doesn't coincide with my experience. Unless all of palmtop-toting friends and relatives are unusual, I would think that 200LX users who find it useful at the beginning continue to do so. > Its great that it still does what you need but to think that it still > does what a large group of users needs is self delusion.

Think about it, if it > was true there would still be a market, which there isn't. How many > software companies released DOS software last year? There isn't market for mainstream DOS programs, because everybody uses Windows 95. But a better gauge would be: how many shareware and commercial pieces of palmtop software and hardware were released last year? I can think of several: WWW/LX and Post/LX, the 8MB memory upgrade, the 32MB memory upgrade, the Thaddeus CD's, PALDraw, Mainline, Multiworks... True, it's not a lot of offerings. On the other hand, if there wasn't money to be made from volume, Times2 Tech and Thaddeus would be out of business. > Like I said originally, you all that depend on the 200lx better > stockpile several, their days are numbered. I agree. And I think you're right that the 200LX's popularity will dwindle and relegate it to the status of "quaint relic," but before that happens I hope to have a replacement. > PS. Just wondering where you got the 400,000 figure? I have never > seen reliable sales figures for the 200lx. In late 1996, I asked a friend of mine at HP in Corvallis, Oregon (where my dad grew up)... he said he talked to some of his co-workers and got an estimate of 400,000, but this was for all HP DOS palmtops, not just the 200LX.

The "N" command line option tells IS to run in non-resident mode.... In this mode, when you exit IS, you really exit IS (memory gets free'd etc...). If you don't use the "N", every time you press the AppManager hotkey to pop-up IS you'd be loading a new copy. Easy way to run out of memory real fast.... (Note that the multi-load won't happen if you just use the IS hotkey to toggle in and out of IS, but when I've done that, I've eventually had problems with the screen not switching to/from graphics mode reliably....) --- John L.

It was cold and it was drizzly. I arrived early, which is customary for me, so I can sneek in a last smoke before I pull the van out on it's over-one-hour journey from Montclaire to Downtown Los Angeles. It was five-thirty five a.m., and cold and drizzly. I locked up my truck and walked over to the van and set my bag down by the front tire of the van. As I reached for my keys, I made a mental note to climb out and pick the bag up once the van was started and put it next to the driver's seat. Just then, one of the girls stepped out of their car and for whatever reason that mental note never made it to my hard disk before my brain reset. Upshot: I drove away, leaving the shoulder bag sitting out in the middle of the train station parking lot. My trusty HP100LX, 2 4mb sandisks, a 5mb ace, an external newton keyboard, some HT batts, a couple of zip disks and a copy of QST were in that thing. Did I say it was cold and drizzly already? I'd gotten that HP almost three years ago from a nice gent at Office Depot who'd remembered that there was an unsold demo unit in the back. I got it for fifty dollars, boys and girls. Had the manuals, unmarked name plate and everything. I pondered and brooded as I drove home that afternoon. It was still drizzling. If it's not El Nino, it's something else, I swear. Needless to say, the next day I swung in to action on getting a replacement, but five hundred dollars I had not! There were three yuppie types that I knew in the office who had 200's instead of Franklins (pretty much standard company issue). Two engineers (uh-oh, I bet they love that numeric keypad) and one management yuppie. Jim, Frank and Dan. Jim had turned me on to my 95 (which was stolen--another earlier sad event) and I'd turned Frank on to his 200. Dan was an HP recruit from someone else. One of them is BOUND to want to upgrade to the 360 or 620. I was HUNGRY! One of these guys is going to give up their 200! "Heard about your HP, man. Bummer." said Jim. "Gonna upgrade?" I responded as I sipped my starbucks. "Let's go play with the 360 in the window of this computer store right here and see if it fits." He'd just gotten a large cheque so I knew he had dollars. As it turned out, the girl said that if we took it out of the box we had to buy it! We walked out. Jeepers. Jim seemed somewhat open to the idea of upgrading, though, so we followed up and did some research on the web. "What? No decent calculator? No backsolver? And NO QUICKEN? What about VR for my Guttenberg stuff?" Now, Jim's a consultant and he needs his quicken, and he's a big reader. His thoughts of upgrading quickenly died as he looked at the battery life comparisons, the incompatible file system and the fact that the powerpoint program was--heck--just a viewer! Oh well, on to Frank -- the OTHER engineer. "No keypad, bud. And no calculator and no FREE FORM DATABASE for my CD collection! Do you know how many times I bought duplicate CDs before I loaded this thing on my HP? Sorry dude." I mean, Frank OWED me -- I'd built him an extra-long-corded power cube for his HP from an old Xircom wall wart (make sure to swap the polarity, chaps). Dan was my last hope. Dan was also the least technically oriented one amongst 'em and he likes Win95, so the 620 seemed like a sure thing. Heck, it was COLOR! And it had a START BUTTON! I arranged to meet him at Staples where I had pre-arranged, via phone, a session with the thing so that we could spend some time with it. And played with it we did. No freeform database, no easy note taker, no decent calculator, you pretty much have to use the stylus until you figure out the keystrokes, and WAY more expensive--almost a thousand dollars after tax. And it looks like schedule synch is non-recorded-transaction based, so he's going to be spending half his life reconciling data table conflicts! And no Freecell (curtis cameron has a fanclub here). "But while we're here Martin, can you show me how to trim up my sked file? It's getting kinda big and kinda slow." "You're backing it up, right?" "Yep, every day. It's on this 10mb sandisk that plugs right in to my laptop. Couldn't be easier. Can I do that with the 620?" "Umm, I don't think so." "Why don't you get a 360, Martin?" "I don't think it has system macros, Dan." It was nice to have solved a small problem (the sked file), but I was pretty dejected. I was a failure at sales, I guess. -=-=-=-=-=-=- Moral of the story? Wear blinkers in the morning until you've had your coffee. As a post-script, I picked up a used 100 with some keyboard problems for $100. I just got a bonus and I'm buying a friend's 200 -- not because he's not using it, but because he's hard up for cash and can use the $300 more. I'll send the 100LX to Mack to fix up and keep it as a spare, after I get the 200 upgraded to 8/doublespeed. So, Pete, how may people have you successfully pried a 200 away from? I've got a hunch you won't do it via e-mail to this list.

Hey, now, Educalc died because HP sold products to competitors like Office Depot who could sell them cheaper-- as was pointed out (quite poetically, I might add) by Joe Horn in his EduCalc obituary on comp.sys.hp48, which was forwarded to this list on December 16, 1997 by Ian Butler. As for the low overhead, it actually costs quite a bit of money to stay in the 200LX business-- not so much for the software, but the hardware upgrades are very expensive to develop and produce. I'm currently involved in a hardward upgrade for the LX that I think most of the list members and other 200LX users will like, and it's definitely not cheap. But there have been many thousands of hardware upgrades sold since they were created for the 200LX, and they're still selling well, so... -- Visit the 200LX site at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 18 Jun 1998 23:08:19 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , River Wolf Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: River Wolf Subject: Re: Wince...

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Peniel; Thank you! My thoughts precisely! It seems that people have been "programmed" to think that DOS is hard to use or whatever. Well, clicking a mouse is certainly easier than typing a command, but it would seem that the direct approach is the most efficient -- at least as far as disk space and memory are concerned. I have used way too many Windows programs that required way too many mouse-clicks to do something that could be simply done in DOS with a few keystrokes. I believe that the simple truth is that people are lazy and don't want to take the time and expend the effort to learn how to use a computer. In the computer lab where I work at the local college, people are constantly asking the same questions over and over, but if they would just do some reading and thinking, then they would answer their own questions and I could concentrate on the less trivial things. However, these ravings about one system being better that the other are the same kind of things that Mac, Unix, Amiga, etc. users have gone on about for years. The fact is (IMHO) that some systems are better for some people/kinds of people/some kinds of jobs than other systems. It seems that the Mac is best for desktop publishing, Amiga is best for graphics, etc. But, for my use, I'll go with my 200LX and my Win95 laptop and desktop systems. The HP 200LX is perfect for those, like us, of superior intelligence! ;-) - Richard Smith Peniel Romanelli wrote: > Thu, 18 Jun 1998 17:23:56 -0400 (EDT) > > Hi folks- > > > Being an opinionated so-and-so I might as well chime in with my $.02 > worth about wince.

C'mon, Pete, as a network tech I'm sure you've seen how often home users like to stick with what they learn the first time they buy a computer! I mean, heck, until 1992 my parents were still running their home office out of PerfectCalc, on a Kaypro II with 64K RAM. Then they "upgraded" to a Macintosh LC, and what a nightmare THAT was. When I finally got them to add a Windows 95 machine to their setup (early 1997), all I heard for months was "I hate that computer. Why can't it work the same as my other computer?" I still routinely have to go out and swap out ancient components on 8088's and 286's where people are running Quicken 3 for DOS and WordPerfect 5.1. "Wouldn't you like to upgrade to Windows 95?" "Windows 95? Wuzzat?" "It's a 32-bit graphical operating system." "Hmm... okay, put it on and show me how." "Well, um, you'll need to buy a Pentium..." "WHAT? GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" Next day: "Yeah, I had that guy out here to look at my computer, and he tries to get me involved in witchcraft... talking about pentiums and stuff... dang cults..." > Also, just because something sells in great numbers doesn't mean that > it will show up for resale in great numbers. If that was true we > would be up to our ears in older computer systems. We _are_ up to our ears! Unless they break down, a lot of people donate them to thrift stores, or give them to cheap (ah, I mean, "economical") friends. I went through an average of six used computers a day (and I know that because I tracked it in Quattro for DOS) while working at the thrift store-- about a hundred and twenty a month. There was _never_ a shortage in that department. We'd get gigantic trucks coming in and unloading whole trailers full of monitors, printers, and computers. -- Visit the 200LX site at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 18 Jun 1998 20:16:30 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Richard A.

It sounds like you have one or more repeating records which are causing problems. If you can do without them, use the REMOVE function to get rid of old appointments (MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF THE FILE FIRST). See if the problem goes away. If it does, you can go back to the original file (MAKE ANOTHER BACKUP) and do smaller deletions of old appointments until you get rid of the offending record(s). >Secondly, since this is a 1Mb 100LX, what's the best way to increase my >"disk" space.

I especially like the card reader. They should have kept the BASIC language and Card reader with the new DOS and CGA screen. It's a cute machine but, let's face it, they added functionality and capabilities from this unit to the LX whereas they actually took much away with the CE machines. For example, I use Foxpro 2.0 on my LX.

I have not seen Quake 2 but based upon what I saw of Quake (Original) it ought to be good. We are now getting into running operating systems that demand a much higher level of hardware than ever before. Other games that have been created for Win95 based upon DirectX are all rather poor in my experience. Do Quake and Quake 2 use DirectX ? and do they run from the C:\ command line or from within the Graphical Windows 95 Shell?

It actually came yesterday, but I was not here to sign for it. I would have to give this thing a big "two thumbs up"! I was able to print to it using the IrDA drivers on SUPER and using my TransDigital parallel port card hooked to the parallel cable that ships with the printer. I tried everything I knew of to get the printer to work without using the IrDA drivers, but it would not comply. The manual says it is "IrDA SIR-1.0 infrared" which gave me hope, but it seems you can't get it to drop the IrDA portion and just do SIR which the HP would like very much. Print quality is very good; approaching laser, but not quite. I would think that the Shier Systems cable for the PN60 would work just fine. All you have to do to get the serial interface up is to turn off the IrDA interface. This then allows you to set baud rate and handshaking. This is a great deal for anyone needing a super small printer.

The vast majority of people put them in a closet and eventually toss them out, or give them to a kid to play with. Most people would view the 200lx as virtually worthless since it doesn't run todays software. People on this list are unique in that they really appreciate the computer for what it is and its capabilities. The average buyer was probably more of a PIM user and just looks at it as a glorified PIM. As such it is considered disposable. Also, just because something sells in great numbers doesn't mean that it will show up for resale in great numbers. If that was true we would be up to our ears in older computer systems. Pete Peter W.

If there was some way we could get the message out that these LX systems ( and lost of other older systems) still have value to some people there would be a boom in availability of used systems. I collect old orphaned computers and in many cases it is very hard to find systems or accessories that were originally sold by the hundreds of thousands but have apparently vanished in the interim. I know that they are in closets or attics or garages gathering dust but how do you find them. I have seen thing sell for pennies on the dollar at garage sales and flea markets because the owner assumed that no one would want an older system. Oh well, the joys of collecting misunderstood computers. Pete Peter W.

I'll not concede with your reality, that is sliding into an opinion, while being cute about it and calling it "realistic". It seems to me that those who use the 200LX use it for a long long time. I hear huge numbers of "re-converts" (those who went for a WinCE, then found that it did not fit their needs and are back to using the 200LX). So, I am only saying there is not way to really accurately tell how many actual users there are, only sort of estimate them. The exact same is true for WinCE machines. Many people buy them and don't use them. Many people give them to someone else who does not use them (you know like the Xmas season fruitcake, no disrespect to WinCE intended here!) And so on. The sales figures are nice and fat, but they do not include returns, and they do not come even near the estimates of marketing people, while with the 200LX the numbers exceeded the estimates wildly. So I would concede that at best you can't quite tell. Software sales figures are not an indication, since we DEFINITELY do not reach all those who bought a palmtop, and Palmtop paper subscriptions are also not a full indicator, since there are many of both camps, and many who don't use, and many many who do not subscribe, either do not want to, or have not been reached. Anyway, I modigy what I said to this: "There are many users, certainly less than the total number of sales." > that ever bought a pet rock or hula hoop is still using it?

How do you come up with this number? If you are correct than I think I am right and want to take my modifird statement back! :-) I bet you have no idea how many were sold. I would also bet, but not submit it to proof, that the numbers I know are by far much much better than yours! ... Best regards, Avi M.

My message was a response to yours: a voice synthesized html reader would be a great thing while driving. I'm a pretty avid books-on-tape listener already. And my persistence comment was more on the mailing list than anything. I really think the list should be a newsgroup. As it is, I treat it as such - I receive the digest. But even so, there are some days that I get three of the digests. My mail reader doesn't allow me to treat it as threaded articles and there's no continuity from digest to digest. Being a newsgroup would fix these problems (though at a cost: the possibility for spam is opened up). I think it's great that we have such an active and helpful 200lx community. The quantity is fine, it just makes for a cluttered mailbox.

I'm not a lawyer but I've seen this discussed a number of times on CIS forums and the way it's usually expressed is that they have a copyright on their 'collection'. You can distribute that software as long as you dont get it from CIS. This is supposed to be similar to the collection copyrights on cd's of Guttenberg texts. It's distributable but not from the cd. Anyway, thats what I've been told. If you want to make the argument that our copyright laws have gotten silly, I won't disagree. :) Barry -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 20 Jun 1998 02:24:12 GMT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Gary Spiers Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Gary Spiers Subject: Re: My Citizen PN60i Report Comments: To: "Mitchell B.

I've never used the serial port on the palmtop except to make backups. I don't have a modem so it's not something I've considered. The same for the IR port. I've included support for the built in graphics and, I think, for the volume control and contrast. I don't really remember which features I added but there were quite a lot. I also added words to ease the use of the proprietary HP interrupts so if you wanted to add support for other things it should fit right in. If you do decide to do that and if you want to include it with the package, let me know. I've contacted the webmaster at the supersite to find out how to upload there.

That takes up a lot of cpu time and the cpu isnt fast enough to keep up with the serial port and the screen updates and watch the keyboard and do any translation at the same time. This usually isnt a problem when you're just transferring files. Using a terminal program to connect with a 4.77 mhz IBM XT years ago we were pretty much limited to 4800 baud. 9600 was doable but not good. But when we were transferring files from one computer to another it could do that at 115,200 for hours with no problem.

I have a 10 meg Sandisk and a 15 and 20 meg Sandisk Compact flash. The 10 meg is a full size card. All of them work well in my Thinkpad and in my Compaq LTE Elite and they all worked fine in the Dell I had for a short time (until I found out it was stolen).

Speaking just for myself, while I only speak a little Spanish and can't understand most of the stuff on here in Spanish, I have no objection to it whatsoever. I'm sure there are non-English speakers that can benefit from some of what goes on here and if someone is willing to speak to them, well and good. On the other hand, I also have no objection whatever to those who choose to contribute in English and don't write it fluently. I hope we treat those people as well as I'm treated in Mexico with my weak Spanish.

I am usually a lurker, not a fighter, but I really cannot let this one pass! You are absolutely correct in that total sales figures do not have anything to do with actual use ... but that's really the *WINCE* machines! I have a 620LX in my drawer in the office, and an Omnigo 100 at home somewhere in storage. My PalmPilot (a good machine, really) has thankfully found a new master in my wife. I carry my 200lx EVERYWHERE! I have a slightly broken down 200lx in reserve and keep fighting the temptation to buy a brand-new one for security. Why don't I use the 620LX? It's lovely to look at, yes, but so many things I take for granted on the 200lx, I CANNOT do at ALL on the WINCE! Just *one* example: I follow the UK Premier League (never mind, MUFC, we'll be back next season) and chart every result through the season ... and in the off season now, I track the World Cup. Just show me how to GRAPH in Pocket Excel ! Black and white it may be, but the charts are beautiful in 123! Friend Peter, you are absolute correct, sales figures for machines do not reveal use figures .... but I think that if truth be told, as a percentage, more 200lx's are being used than Wince's. Here in the erstwhile home of the HP Palmtop, there is an open secret ... more HP *employees* use the 200lx than the Wince's.

Perhaps the guys at >S.U.P.E.R. could put it on the list. That's great! Unfortunately, when I retrieved Omniprint it from S.U.P.E.R. and tried it with my BJ230 (the 200's wide-carriage brother), all I got was flashing lights and form feeds. Perhaps you could provide a few more details on how you did it. Or perhaps just show me where I went wrong. I: - Connected 200LX by HP serial cable to COM1 on desktop. - Set HP printer to Com1, 9600, IBM Proprinter. (My BJ200 is always set up as a Proprinter.) - On the desktop, issued command omniprn 1,9600. - On the HP, attempted to print from Memo, and from DOS. It all seems as though it's going to work, but then just fizzles as described. Any ideas? ...1/..make sure the Canon's DIP switch 12 setting is off (eg in BJ-10...draft mode) ...2/.. read the readme file, I found when setting it up it was best to print to the screen first using he "con" parameter eg omniprn 1,9600 con. Once you can do this, I found it was best to print to a file eg omniprn 1,9600 con>omnigo.out, then print that file eg copy/b omnigo.out prn. See how this goes....It worked for me!

It works without the /b, and with lpt1, as well. Thanks Alex! To reiterate, for anyone who needs it, the procedure to print with Omniprint and the standard HP serial cable is: - Connect 200LX by HP serial cable to COM1 on desktop. - Set HP200LX printer to Com1, 9600, - On the desktop, issue command omniprn 1,9600 con > filename.out - On the HP, print the document. - On the desktop, issue command copy /b filename.out prn: (or, copy filename.out lpt1:) where: - your printer is the proper selection for your printer - COM1 on the desktop is replaced by whatever COM port you use - filename.out is any legal filename S.Todd -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 20 Jun 1998 17:15:24 +0010 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , wyn@ALPHALINK.COM.AU Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Alain Psyche Subject: Flash wanted MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Is someone have a 24 or 32 Mg card for sale.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable It seams that people have problem with the smart (apex) combo card. As i have said it is most likely that it is a operation amplifier in tha modem part of the card that has blown. Like others I had a fully functional card that sudenly one day stoped to work. Everything worked, At commands, memmory etc. I kept getting NO DIALTONE when i tried to use the modem. I looked it up and the card actualy lifted the hook but the dial tone did not get through. There was something blocking the signal. It turned out to be a operation amplifier named 117p something. I found it in a "elfa" catalog for $20. The case is not that hard to remove, but the op-amp is. If You dont have the right things to remove it with I suggest this: Use 3 persons and two soldering irons for the job. 2 persons heat one side each (4 legs, 8 all in all) simmultaneously. When its loos the, third person remove it with a tweeser - but only when the solder is melted and it is loose from all 8 legs. Getting the new op-amp in place is not that hard. Just put some (little) solder on the pads on the card, make sure that the new ic is alligned and carefully solder in place.

I doubt there's an easy way to do this. A cheesy workaround would be to use the DOS SUBST command and map the c:\_dat directory to a drive letter, say B: (no one uses it anyway). Then access your c:\_dat files by picking B: Norton Commander must be making special allowances for non-alphabetic names, cuz the underscore normally does follow behind the uppercase alphas in the ASCII collating sequence (albeit ahead of the lowercase letters). - Longden PS - The SUBST command was available in DOS 6.x and to map the c:\_dat directory, you would have to run subst before running the 200 command. subst b: c:\_dat or you could use another drive letter like f: instead. It works like the assign command provided in your ROM with DOS 5, but is better in being much smaller and able to map directories instead of just drives.

On comp.sys.hp48 there are a few French posters who are a bit chauvanistic about their language and post as often as they can in French instead of English. They sometimes do this with good reason and often do it to make a point. But if they have something to say that they want heard, they post that in English. Ok, I agree that's a little bit silly. Most of the French posters don't do that. It's just a few. But it's just the kind of situation you seem to fear. It's also one of the most information filled newsgroups I've ever read. I find it fascinating. Since I don't read French, when I come to a message in French, I just skip it. No big deal. It's always nice to have a few oddballs around. I don't like to discourage them.

I just purchased Borland Turbo C++ 3.1 for DOS as part of the "Teach yourself C++ in 21 days - complete compiler edition", $39.99 from amazon.com including a very fat book on C++. It's not a bad deal, but as far as I can see, the Turbo C++ 3.1 compiler itself will not run on the palmtops because it requires DPMI, which needs an 80286 or higher CPU Ýplease correct if I am wrong here¨. However, the executables will run on the palmtop (and are reasonably small eg <10K for a small "hello world" type C program). I must say that I was a bit disappointed, because part of my object in acquiring the compiler was to have a C++ compiler which would itself run on an HP200LX, in preparation for pursuing programming projects on my summer holiday by the seaside in Nova Scotia. So now I have to go back a version and try Turbo C++ 2, if I can find a copy (it's not on the market in any form that I'm aware of, but neither is it considered "abandonware"). I am aware, incidentally, that earlier C++ compilers, even Turbo C++ 3.1, will not compile "modern" C++ programs such as the example programs in Stroustrup (3rd edition), since they lack certain features of current C++ and also the standard C++ library. For working with Stroustrup's examples, I had success with C++ Builder (ver 1), used as a pure C++ compiler producing executables which run in a DOS window (but not on the palmtop). C++ Builder and Borland C++ 4.5 have both been distributed recently as "cover disks" with the UK magazine PC Plus. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 20 Jun 1998 16:53:46 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , cjholloway@CSI.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Chris Holloway Subject: PN60i and HP200LX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I downloaded the IR drivers from the S.U.P.E.R. site (thanks Mitch) and my PN60i works great!

In = these case, one certainly shouldn't redistribute. However, much of what is available on CIS is common or garden shareware, which could well be found elsewhere.

Connect your LX with the PC. Be careful or you'll mash the serial pins. On the LX, go into Filer. On the PC go into Filer, then F6, F7. On your PC screen, you should see a split screen Be consistent and Keep the REMOTE always on the left side and LOCAL on the right. If you get this far, my boy, you've got it. Just highlight the files you want to move and do it. Win2000 is great and better because you can see the dates of the files but needs an extra serial port to connect your mouse too. You will see the problem when you try it. BTW: A flash slot would be easier but if you learn to do it this way, you can do it anywhere in the world carrying just a cable and a diskette on anyone's PC. I gave you a solution for what you have. BTW2: I have a flash drive that I've never used and is for sale if you want to carry it all around the world. Happy father's day.

I have an Apex fax/modem/memory card that runs at 2400 baud. First I just used DataComm and read email with my shell account. Next I used Qual-x and ccMail until my ISP removed Qual-x from the system. Then, I got WWW/LX V1.0 and was very happy until my ISP changed their setup and it quit working. I tried to get WWW/LX V2.0 working, but dasoft says it won't run at 2400 baud. Next, I tried Nettamer. It worked, but the interface was funky. Finally, I tried Goin' Postal V2.15. It works perfectly! It was a snap to setup, the interface is nice, and it's quick. As an added benefit, I can run MiniTelnet and an ftp client. So far, Goin' Postal has been rock solid. My registration check goes in the mail Monday. I urge everyone to try Goin' Postal, especially if you have the same 2400 baud Fax/Modem/Memory card I have. -David No connection to Goin' Postal, just very, very happy with it.

I *thought* the reason for this lower limit on baud rates was related to the operation of the ISP's equipment (how they setup various TCP/IP timeouts). I'm surprised that you can get a PPP connection established at 2400 baud with GP (which implies that your server does support this rate) and not with WWW/LX. Very interesting...

Some allow posting while others do not and the number of newsgroups they carry varies from about 3000 to over 13000. My ISP does not have a news server but i connect with a server - news.lexicomp.net - (actually i'm not sure where it is) and it carries about 13k groups and the connections are reasonably fast most of the time. Plus there is the Deja News web-based service which is very popular also. If you're interested write me off the list and i'll send you a listing of free news servers (html format). Regards, Ian C.

The pouch is tighly woven nylon (your choice of black, standard camo, urban camo, woodland camo, and desert camo) with a flip-top. The case closes with a plastic quick-release. It has a pair of steel ALICE belt clips and a eyelet on the back. The internal compartment is 2.5 x the volume of an LX. The from and back panels have thick plastic reenforcements. It is reasonable water resistant, and designed to have the shift kicked out of it. The only oddity (thinking in terms of a carry-all for LX stuff) is the presence of 2 hand grenade holders on either side. Besides holding hand grenades, I can think of no use for them, at the moment anyhow, so I stitched them flush against the side. A new toy, all for $9! -------------------------------------------- ***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, 21 Jun 1998 12:02:49 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , wengland@INAME.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Scott England Subject: News2 question Comments: To: support@dasoft.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable How do I run news2 under post/lx?

I just sent a copy to Mitch for SUPER, so it should be avavilble soon. It has a modified editor (based on the one in 100Pygmy), that zooms to 64 column mode for editing, and back out when done. It looks pretty much like the built-in apps (but is text mode). There's an extension source file that has a bunch of palmtop graphics words, plus time, date, battery status etc. For those I sent HP-Pygmy, this is a slightly updated version.

At best, you would have a permanent imprint of the Lx on your forehead if the airbag deployed. At worst, the imprint could be seen from the back of your head! Remember, steering wheel airbags were designed (by US law) to protect a full sized adult male-with out a seatbelt in the event of an collision. That means a lot of force blowing the cover apart and the bag out BEFORE your face hits it!

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I use my HPLX's cc:Mail (palmtop.com) regularly and have found an odd feature (or bug?). If a message is created and resides in the OUTBOX and then later revised, the user has 4 odd option to choose from in order to save the changes. 1) SEND to MAIL Which creates a new revised message. If the user connects at this point, both old & new versions are sent. 2) SEND to SAVE Which stores the new version in "Saved Message Folder". At this point only the old version would be sent. 3) SEND to MAIL & SAVE With this option you end up with the old and new versions in the OUTBOX and a new version in the save folder. With the above 3 option, the user must delete the old version or it will be sent. 4) If the user happens to have other messages in the OUTBOX, F8 (Prev) or F9 (Next) can be selected. A prompt appears asking to save the changes. By pressing YES the old version is _updated_ and the new version is placed in the saved folder. The old version is automaticaly deleted. However, the user gets some other odd messages about an unsupported feature until exiting the OUTBOX folder. If there is a better way to make changes to OUTBOX messages, please let me know.

Note that the latest version of mskermit (see my LXTCP web page for details) includes a telnet command that does full vt220 emulation. So for those with disk space available (the executable is fairly big), then mskermit is a much better telnet option. Note that LXTCP and GP use the same PPPD, so it should work with either (of course LXTCP is free and you get the source code, but GP is a much better solution for those without much disk space). I'm in France right now, and I use LXPOP, LXNNTP and mskermit for complete connectivity. I use mskermit to telnet to my work account, and then use lynx on Unix there (lynx-2.8 can handle pretty much any web page, including complex forms that other palmtop web browsers may have trouble with).

Alas, not a problem with my '89 Mazda - no airbags. This car came out in between when the law required automatic restraints and when airbags became commonly used. I ended up with electric seatbelts, one of the worst inventions I've ever seen in the automotive industry. One time I had the sun visor rotated to the side window, and upon opening the door, the seatbelts effortlessly removed the visor from it's mount! When I walked into the Mazda parts department carrying my visor, the first words out of their mouths were "Electric Seat Belts, right?". Fortunately, the car was still under a three year warranty... but this is getting waaayyyy off topic... -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

The post was to a list that is in English. I do not think it takes a rocket scientist to figure out that even the Spanish speakers must have a fair grasp of English or they would not be here to begin with. So, common courtesy would dictate that the invitation be in the common language of the list. Say, for instance, "Hey, anybody interested in a Spanish/Tagalog/Swahili user group contact so and so off the list at hphp@x.org". Message delivered to all interested parties; no extended conversations in a language that excludes a majority of the list; NOBODY upset.

In addition... One of my cars has a malfunctioning speedometer. Below 35mph, it wildly gyrates between 0 and 70mph. So I rigged up some velcro strips on the instrument panel right behind the steering wheel, and am anxiously awaiting the release of some GPS software that will have a full-screen compass / speed display... so I can use my Delorme Tripmate and my 200LX to tell me how fast I'm really going. :) -- 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: Mon, 22 Jun 1998 01:27:22 GMT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Gary Spiers Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Gary Spiers Subject: Re: Driving vs. HPLX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > occurred to me that some properly placed velcro on the center of my > steering wheel would hold my 200LX securely for use (edited in the best tradition of tabloid journalism) Chris, given Huntsville driving standards you have a death wish. Just a couple of weeks ago I saw a car set up with GPS and moving map display on an LX. The GPS fitted in front of and obscured the car's speedometer (but the GPS displays speed). A cable from the GPS ran to the LX which was velcroed to the ashtray and provided the moving map display. The driver had used it to navigate a 6 hr drive from New Jersey to Virginia for a palmtop meeting. He admitted to a few close calls along the way!

In the In the late 70's and through the 80's I set up systems for small companies and trained their employees to use them. About 2 out of 3 were just unable to learn to use simple commands in any way but by rote. Give them a list of what they have to type and if nothing unusual happens, they're fine. But that was about as far as they were able to go regardless of how much attention the got or how hard they tried. And a lot of them really tried very hard to learn. Then windows came along and probably 90% learn it easily. I prefer command lines too. I think they're easier and they save time and they give you more flexibility. And I don't understand why most people can't learn to use them. But the simple fact is that they can't. That's just the way it is. Might as well argue with a thunderstorm as human nature.

Cold shivers ran up and down my back! When I was young I used to read while driving. I did that a lot. I was always able to do that without losing track of the traffic around me and I never had a problem of any kind as a result of this. I wouldn't do it now because my eyesight isn't good enough and I cant adjust to different distances easily due to lens inserts becuase of cataract surgery. But if that weren't the case I'm sure I'd still be reading while I drive. I guess we each have to be the judge of our own abilties. No-one else can really do that for us.

Problem is - there's too many folks with a whole lot of (unwarranted) confidence in their abilities. The rest of us have to dodge 'em 8-( We had a columnist in our local paper who was writing about cel-phones & driving, who claimed that other people may be a menace when yakking while driving, but he could do both BECAUSE HE COULD STEER WITH HIS KNEES.

Unfortunately, I deleted it before thinking of replying... Here's an idea. As I recall, the post said the swap file was 2Mb. Is this by any chance a hidden file? Try going to DOS, changing to the directory that should have the swap file and do dir, /p (that's dir followed by a comma). This will list ALL files in the directory - including hidden & system files. If this shows nothing, try chkdsk /f and see if there are any lost clusters. -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, 22 Jun 1998 14:47:37 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , TTSG Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: TTSG Subject: IR problems MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, I recently came into possesion of a 200LX, and have great plans for it. I plan to put either NetTamer or WWW/LX on it (From the listing on http://www.plamtop.net/super.html). To do that, I'll need to get it on the palmtop. I have a IBM Thinkpad 760XL with an IR port and NT 4.0, and I thought I could run Win32file. Filer sends something to the NT so it shows "ÝConnect¨". But then filer times out. I loaded the term program and anything I type on the palmtop appears on the NT, but nothing from the NT appears on the palmtop. I ran the tests (ESC-ON), and that passed but who knows. I don't have anything else with IR to test. The person who gave it to me tried to hook an external IR to his desktop and never got it to work, but I can't take it as gospel. Is there anything I can do to make absolutely sure its the palmtop and where can I get it repaired at a REASONABLE price.

I stumbled on the web page when I had lost my HP 200LX and was wondering if I should go WinCE or PalmPilot. Luckily I found my trusty HP 200LX so I didn't have to choose. Of course you'll have the disadvantage of not having a dedicated numeric keypad on either machine. If I had to give up my 200LX, I'd go Pilot. Anything larger than a 200LX is just too large for a pocket. So far the small CE machines seem to be just as slow as their larger counterparts (from what I've heard). === Dave Hart (hartd@poboxes.com) Dayton, OH USA Pillar of Fire, Pillar of Truth > Carol > Subject: HP 200 Calculator >Is it possible to run an HP 200 calculator program on any of the new CE >hand held computers?

Every ink jet I have ever seen will eventually dry up when sitting idle, and even unopened cartridges have a limited shelf life. Not so for the ribbons used by the PN60 and PN60i since they are a wax transfer medium they will store forever as long as they don't get really hot. This is ideal for me since I use the PN60 with my notebook when traveling, which is infrequent at best. Otherwise, I agree that the ribbons are a little pricey. Pete Peter W.

I have been saying all along that it is a great machine for people that can appreciate, but you are assuming that most of the people that bought them fall into that catagory. I can't speak for your country but in this one the 200lx was sold in mass merchandise stores next to other PIM machines like the wizard. The majority of people that bought them in those kinds of stores are not the kind that are big time DOS users that will work hard and jump through hoops to squeeze the last drop of performance from a machine like the 200lx. They ARE the type of people that will use something for a while, get bored with it and stick it in a closet to gather dust. They are also NOT the type of people you will ever see on this forum, or reading a palmtop newsgroup or magazine so they are NOT the type of people that will even think to try and sell these machines to those who wold appreciate them. What facinates me about this whole discussion is that everyone seems to assume that because the people that they have dealt with use their 200lx's alot that means every one that bought one does, or even that some great percentage of those that bought them do. Take a minute and think about the type of people that you are most likely to talk to about the 200lx, people with similar interests to yourself, right? So is it so suprising that they too might enjoy a 200lx, not at all. If they were people that didn't think much of computers and only used them if they had to then you probably would not be talking to them about the 200lx or about computers at all. This whole discussion started out because someone had to jump in and shoot down winCE machines. I don't think winCE is great but it is hear and it probably will be here for a long time. You might want to read more about winCE and MS's plans for it, you might find yourself using it on your office machine sometime in the near future, scarey thought though it may be. Also, everyone might as well get used to the idea that there is NEVER going to be another hp200lx, ie a small DOS machine, so things like Ian Dean's XTCE are your best hope to continue working the way you all want to work. The market is driver PRIMARILY by big business and they have never had much use for small machines like the 200lx, if they had we would have ten different models to pick from. Look at the Toshiba Libretto, it is already getting bigger to make it more useable from the viewpoint of big business, and all of its competitors are already bigger than it is. Basically, if you all want to continue with a pocket computer you had better support people like Ian Dean who are trying to open up an avenue for you to follow. The only pocket computers you are likely to see in the future are glorified PIM's, you had better hope they will do what you need. Pete PS.

I bought it from Service Merchandise four years ago when it was first released. I replace batteries after months of heavy use, including a 20 MB ATA card. I have used it to get online, and i currently use it as a PDA, to store poems I have written, general notetaking, recording student information, parent contacts and grades, gas log, reading e-texts...the uses go on and on. I love the 200LX's keyboard...easy to use with a numeric keypad. it is that one feature that sets the 200LX apart from all other devices. Yeah, embedded keypads are OK, but kind of a pain to deal with. They can have my 200LX when hell freezes over...and then we'll see. Oh, and I'm not talking about Hell, Michigan...which froze over a few years ago. If someone gave me a Pilot, I wouldn't refuse it...but neither would I ditch my ol' 200LX.

Make sure you are using a slightly glossy paper, a good quality inkjet paper is what I use. Also, the ribbon only makes one pass so if it isn't advancing correctly you will get really bad print quality. Check one of your used ribbons, it should have a reversed image of the text you just printed. This test is easiest with the black ribbon and printing straight text. There could be something wrong with the printers ribbon advance mechanism that is causing it to reprint over part of the ribbon. That is my best guess. Pete Peter W.

Sure dos isn't used much anymore by businesses and individuals on desktops (although I know quite a few people that still use 286's and dos- my brother does, his is getting kind of old. he keeps complaining that his disk drive gives him errors. My sister would still be using an 8088 if it hadn't failed on her) however in the embedded world dos is one of the main operating systems used today. Its inexpensive and easy to program. Dos is far from dead.. I'm sure WinCE has its place but so far I don't see any reason to go running out and buying a new calculator/palmtop. the new ones really hasn't done much of anything to improve on the 200LX except add backlighting and another pcmcia slot and shorten the battery life. Where's the docking station to hook up an external monitor and keyboard! (I don't want much do I!) Of course that would make you more independant from the desktop that's the last thing MS wants. They have to sell that NT!!! You can't even program on the the unit plus you have to have VB or VC++ and NT from what I've heard. From what I've seen of the built-in apps their not as good as what I can put on or what's already in the 200LX. Now if HP would port the 200LX apps to CE and keep the nice calculator interface that might be worth looking into. Better yet if HP would keep improving the 200LX, without changing the size or battery life, that would be even better. I'm sure someday HP will discontinue the 200LX line but so what as long as they continue to fix them (which they will!). But then I have a lot of faith in HP products too. I have a HP calculator that I've used for 10 years and an HP notebook that's about 4 years old- they last. I've had my 200LX 2 years and all it does is become more useful. I don't even use my laptop or desktop unless I absolutely have to. As for there not being a market for a dos based PDA that all depends. I think you'll find most people that buy them are more concerned with their useability and portability not the operating system, The best seller on the market is the palmpilot. Doesn't that use geos? It sure doesn't use an MS operating system. end rant -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 22 Jun 1998 20:59:46 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Richard A.

Now we are. The company I work for, Inergy Online, offers a free (to start with) service over the net. You get an account with us for free, and you get a web-based email address, word processor, contact manager, web site designer, calculator, image capture tool and more. The unique thing about our offering is that is is all server-side; all you need on your side is a web browser and internet access. All data is stored on our systems. The primary markets are thin clients (like WebTV and palmtops) and on-the-go clients (like laptops and palmtops). Sure, our amazingly-gifted palmtops already have a calculator and word processor, but if you don't have a lot of storage: -Web-based email makes a lot of sense. You can categorize your mail into folders, forward it, view attachments, upload and download files, etc. And whether you're at home on your Banana 2000 or visiting the relatives in Sri Lanka, you'll see the same mail and folders. -The word processor has built-in spell checker and thesaurus. -You can create a web site in two different ways. With QuickTouch, you piece together a web page by selecting building blocks and putting them on the page. With QuickSite, you just choose from one of our pre-designed templates and answer some questions, filling in the text and images as you go along. Both features come with an elaborate library of sounds and images, and neither require any knowledge of HTML (although you can type in your own HTML in QuickTouch). The free plan, WebDesk 2000, comes with all of the applications listed above for one year (except the word processor and scheduler, which are for 45 days) and 2MB storage. The next plan, WebDesk Personal, is just $US59.95 a year, and gives you back the word processor and scheduler, and 10MB storage. The free stuff is really free. In fact, we don't even put banner ads on our site, on your web page, or in your email like most of our competitors. We just hope people use our site enough to want to upgrade. You don't even need to give us a credit card number until you upgrade. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Just go to http://www.inergy.com and click on the link to subscribe to WebDesk 2000, and select the Hewlett-Packard link. Fill in the form and you're done! ------------------------------------------------------------------- Coming in the next few months is the ability to view/edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files as HTML in your web browser, capturing sounds and text from the web, and template-based word processing for letters, memos, and reports.

As far as speed of the RAM disk goes, yes. The 32MB drive is about twice as fast as the 8MB / 6MB / 5MB / 4MB / 2MB / 1MB drives. This is largely due to Mack's driver for the 32MB drive performing much better than the built-in driver in the BIOS. -- 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: Mon, 22 Jun 1998 23:55:23 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Kramer Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Kramer Subject: Re: Torx screws, Torx wrenches, and those little rubber feet Comments: To: Tony Corso In-Reply-To: <199806230305.DAA40556@out4.ibm.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Mon, 22 Jun 1998, Tony Corso wrote: > the subject line says it all "I feel your pain".

Look at the Toshiba Libretto, it is Actually I don't think the pocket organiser market is driven by big business. Big business buys their people laptops or cell phones or pagers with built-in pims. How many people here got their 200LX through their company? Now they might try to make the organizer attractive to business people like HP did by adding ccmail, lotus. The smaller stuff is consumer oriented. There's always been plenty availible. Tandy, Sharp, HP, IBM to name a few. What annoyes me is that I've never really liked any computer I've owned until I got the 200LX and now HP might be dropping the line. First computer I've owned with nothing MS about besides the operating system (of course HP couldn't use PC Dos!) and I really like it. No bugs. I really think its a mistake on HP's part. With a few improvements it would be just as competitive as anything availible now. I wonder if HP is thinking about dropping the entire calculator division.

I'm a little curious, actually, if this service runs off the boxes we have here in the datacenter running under what marketing calls 'colocated service', where we host the machine, give it a pipe to the net, run the backups, etc... Anyhow, we've got a number of machines from Inergy, and I think maybe we host the whole site. Just a little bit of 'small world' syndrome.

Check the registry to see if NT is using IRdA or regular serial. Should be serial. On the 200lx side just to see if the port is receiveing ok, you could D/L a program called Remcom from the S.U.P.E.R site which is a learning remote control program - a must-have anyway.

I did this for years. Never a ticket or a problem. Nowadays I listen to books on tape. Usually I use the car's cassette player, which is perfectly legal. But if I'm going in and out of the car a lot I'll put on in-the-ear headphones and listen. Not so legal on the theory that it makes it difficult to hear sirens. In fact it's easier to hear sirens with these on than with the tape in the car's player. For what it's worth, I've been driving for 41 years, and, not counting the first year, when I drove pretty wildly, I haven't had an accident or a ticket. Rarely even a near miss.

I find the recent discussion with regard to WinCE vs HPLX interesting. My personal opinion is the HPLX represents a computer configuration that has an effective amuont of computational power in a portable form factor. The WinCE units don't meet either configuration, and suffer a large amount of "Lost Heritage" by not directly supporting DOS. Fourier Transforms or other high powered calcs on the HPLX - it could do them, but why bother when a 300 MHz Pentium will do them so much faster? Note that I would probably _still_ use DOS on the 300 MHz Pentium - the performance overhead of Windows doesn't support its "improvement" in the interface for me. When I look at the applications that I use the most they are ccMail (WinCE could probably do this better), Database (HPLX wins hands down), PIM (This one is probably a matter of taste), 123 vs Pocket Excel(draw as far as I am concerned), Quicken DOS (Probably a draw, but I have 3 years of DOS data and am happy with the setup), and Infoselect (No comparable product for CE). The HPLX is just a lot more useful for me. I don't use TurboC, Forth, or Calculus Computer a lot, but do use them occasionally and have them with me wherever I go. I guess the funniest thing about this is - This is a HPLX forum. What good can it possibly serve to say "WinCE is better than HPLZ, nyah, nyah, nhyah" on this forum? The poeple who get this forum obviously have made the choice, and if they decide to change, they will monitor a WinCE group for a while to see if it is worth their while. That is what I did a while back, and clearly saw that for what I use the palmtop for, the HPLX provides a clear advantage over WinCE systems.

I don't know of a programmable calculator for WinCE, but there is a file available on the major download boards (SIMTEL, etc.) called Calculus Computer that works very well for everything the HP Solver can't do on the 200LX. I believe the file is called CC4_9206.zip. I use it on my laptop as well. It is a very easy to learn and useful program. I recommend it highly.

Hi Cathy- The comma is right after dir - (dir,) This just works in the current directory as a shortcut "list all files" command. Pretty much the same as dir /a The more useful shortcut, from the same issue of PTP is attrib, (attrib-comma) This is a quick "clear all attributes" command.

Well, the standard RFC-822 Internet message format isn't a storage definition. GP keeps messsages in RFC-822 format just like it receives them, but it puts the message into a file with a record format and optional compression. Even Unix keeps messages in RFC-822 form, but puts them in a file with a rather lousy record seperator. So, I think you're confusing the message format with the mechanism used to hold the message. Or, were you talking about a different standard than RFC-822 and I misread? -------------------------------------------- ***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, 23 Jun 1998 20:25:49 +0200 Reply-To: Laust Brock-Nannestad Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Laust Brock-Nannestad Subject: Re: Driving vs. HPLX In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Tue, 23 Jun 1998, Jim Saklad wrote: > > > I guess we each have to be the judge of our own abilties.

Personally I don't see what people get so upset about. Quite clearly he was able to handle the way he drove or he would've had accidents.

If so, I'd very much like to learn of it. Then I guess I misunderstood your initial message. You wondered why other packages (and I assumed WWW/LX and GP were included) don't store messages in the Internet standard message format. I assumed that meant RFC-822. GP *does* keep messages in RFC-822 format, but each message is tucked away inside a record structure with optional compression and that record format is not standard (since there's not really a standard for that as you said). Well, there are some defacto standards. One is the folder format in Unix, which sucks. Basicly, each message is delimited by a line of the form "From xxxxx date". Needless to say, you need to make sure that messages you add to the file don't have any lines in the message itself that start with "From ". I do this in GPX - I extract the messages into a Unix-compatible folder and munge any line I see that starts with "From " (yuck) Say, you found any WATTCP hangouts? I know there's the main WATTCP page, but I've been looking for a more active page/list where us WATTCP geeks can trade fixes and advice. :-) Erick is having trouble finding his original docs, as soon as he finds them or I pick a scanner I want then I get to start on a revamp of the programmers guide for him.

Oh man, I've tried not to get sucked into this but here goes (looking over his shoulder for rabid Oregon natives coming to dish out a little payback) I moved from Southern California to Oregon (near Eugene/Springfield). I have to say I've never appreciated how a So Cal. driver can manage to juggle their cellphone, daytimer, Big Mac and a large coke simultaneously (in a stickshift) while driving 75mph yet staying out of accidents till moving here. It's quite a culture shock to see someone paying complete attention to getting on a relatively light freeway, both hands on the wheel, eyes focused, and slowing down to a near stop as they "merge"! Ack! (I can hear my fellow Oregonians lighting the torches already) :-) Ok, all you other Oregonians - admit it, it's true here, right? Half the population is ex-Californians playing Pole Position - the other half are native Oregonians wanting their quiet freeways back... (BTW - I never juggled all that (well, maybe a Big Mac) and in my time here I've gone from a frenzied 75mph+ speed junkie to a 65 (and nearly 55 around Eugene) happy Oregonian who dreads the occasional rental car in Orange County.

The AT-600HP is (imnsha) one of the best radios on the market for its price. The audio is a bit weak, but I usually run with an earbud or into an amplified speaker - so not a real issue. The antenna system is very complex ... I use one of three systems... At home I use a Ground Plane that is about 12 ft AGL. With this I can hit stations 15 miles away with 3W. At "remote" locations I have an old camera tripod with a 19' piece of welding rod sticking up in the air. I use the frame of the tripod as a ground plane. The tip of the antenna can be extended to about 8'. Because I use this "by the side of the road" the range figures vary. At "extended" locations - well I am working on a BNC/BNC antenna mount that will clamp to the frame of my backpack. This will put the rubberduck above my head (say 6'). At this point I have no clue as to what the range will be. While camping I plan to use a wire J-Pole in a tree. More as this developes....

I'm also using a Megahertz card and it works without any problems, although I'm not trying to enable any type of compression scheme. My unit is a speed doubled 200LX. Maybe someone else on the list might have some ideas about the compression. I do, however, have GP set for 57600, although I'm sure the actual speed is nowhere near this speed.

Please feel free to address the following topics by number with your pros and cons for each. 1. I want to upgrade the memory capacity of my 200LX. I am considering the 4 Meg internal upgrade from Marcan for a couple of reasons. -I only have a limited budget so this is very attractive at $69 to have them upgrade it. -I'd like to have an internal upgrade so that I could keep the PCMCIA slot open for a modem. -If I'd need/want additional memory in the future then I could get a flash card.

I wouldn't be tied to my desktop PC! I am considering a Simple Technologies 28.8 card that could be upgraded to 33.6. -I've been disappointed to read that some people have had problems with Simple's modems though, especially with the drivers that are used.

I'm also thinking about the possibility of getting the x2 crystal upgrade from Times 2 Tech if it would speed things up noticeably for programs (both built-in ROM and loaded in DOS by me). Would it improve modem speed? It would seem that it would at least help speed up the display to the levels of a 28.8 modem. -Has anyone had this done with the Marcan memory upgrade? Did you have any problems with this speed upgrade or with both upgrades together? Again I'd let them do the work since I'm apprehensive about modifying my 200LX by myself. One of the programs that I'd like to use with the upgrades is LotusWorks. I have a copy of this program that I've luckily kept from when I had my 386. I also have WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS that I had used all the time and would consider using again. This would be great since its file format is such a long-standing standard even Word 95 and 97 still support it readily. I have and currently use Intellisync and TransFile Win 200 to backup and transfer files with my Pentium 100 running Windows 95. Would making all three of these upgrades shorten the expected life of my 200LX? I am particularly concerned about heat generation. I'd use a newly acquired HP AC adapter. The serial number of my 200LX begins with SG637. My one year HP warranty just expired. I'd consider having Times 2 Tech upgrade the memory to 8 Meg at the same time as the crystal but it's more expensive and I'm not sure I'd need to have that much memory. I'm sure people will recommend to upgrade as much as I can afford, but if I could spend $69 to get to 4 Meg and $75 to get the double speed then I could use the difference toward a pretty large flash card. 4. What software is recommended for reading email? I assume that the available programs will only be able to process text and not graphics or the 'attached' files that can be sent via Netscape or Outlook. Can someone provide some more insight? I'd love to be able to get graphics and attachments but I'm not holding my breath. -I'd like to be able to download my email to my 200LX, read and respond to it off line, and then log back on and send it.

I use a 100LX with KAGOLD in to a KAM-Plus attached to a KWD TS680S and it works great for all modes that the KAM offers that I've played with (AMTOR, PACTOR, GTOR, PACKET, RTTY, CW); no prob on VHF or HF. You have to set the buffering options up a bit to compensate for the slower processor, but it's never dropped a character nor hampered a QSO. It's cool for contesting because of all the macros'n'stuff, so you don't have to hunt'n'peck the chicklet kbd on the LX under stressful contest conditions. Don't try to run it from within SYSMGR; exit to DOS and fire it up from there. I had it on a 4MB flash card (I say "had" because my cards and HP were "misplaced" and, though I've replaced the HP, I haven't replaced the cards yet). KAGOLD is just a great piece of software, once you get used to the key strokes. If you don't do DIGI HF, it's probably an overkill. The HP's built-in terminal program worked fine for me when I was node hopping on VHF as a youngster :) but I'm sure that most if not all of the DOS-based terminal programs out there will work fine.

But then again, it didn't matter > if I ran it at 9600 baud. I still got the timeouts! A few things to suggest. Use 19200 for a stock machine, 57600 is too fast. Also, assuming it takes the same init as my XJ1144, try using the following init string: ATE1Q0&C1&D2&K3 Completely exit system manager and try it. If this works, make CERTAIN when running from the system manager that the inverted exclamation mark is in the comment field. Next, are you running it with message compression enabled or disabled (in Menu/Setup/Preferences)? If all that doesn't work, it might be an issue with the ISP that would require adding the "mru 576" (per the instructions) or removing the "-as a0000" from the EPPPD line in GP.BAT. More likely that it's one of the items in the previous paragraph. Should work reliably, I've even tested it through one of the acoustic couplers (the Telecoupler II) and ran without a hitch. If you need more help, you're welcome to contact me via the support address. I'll leave the list address on this message in case it's of use to anyone else getting things going. I've finally figured out majordomo, so should be able to host a GP list if there's enough interest. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 23 Jun 1998 22:27:35 -0700 Reply-To: btorbik@earthlink.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bernard Torbik Subject: Re: Advice and Recommendations Wanted Comments: To: Rick Schwaiger In-Reply-To: <3590887F.45997F63@ctlnet.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Rick: > Can I ask what problems users have had with Simple's modems?

That is until looked up once and realized that I had not been paying any attention whatever to driving. I was still on the road driving perfectly along, I just could not recollect anything about the drive for who knows how long (seconds? minutes?). I think a person can drive along on a basic road using like one percent of their attention, but when the deer or branch or child ends up in the way, forgt it. How would one explain to a judge, or one's concience, how there were not even any skid marks? Not many people would own up to this.

It works very well. It was easy to set up. I have spent several hours trying to get LXTCP/PNR running without success))GP took me perhaps an hour to set up. It would have been faster if I had gathered all the necessary information ahead of time. For example, the numbers I needed for setting up my hosts are stored in a file on my 200LX so I had to exit GP to get to them and then restart. I like the short amount of time GP spends online. The ability to choose between dialing locations and amongst hosts seems really well thought out. I also like the option to leave mail on the server. I like the interface very well. I also have a few questions and/or comments. I have been unable to get Mini)Telnet to work. After shelling out of GP I type "mt myhost.net" and it tries and times out. Is there some config file I need to set up? Is there any way to expand the addressbook beyond the 18 it seems to be limiyed to? Can one shell out when offline? I couldn't find a way to view files on my LX from within GP. Is there any way to task switch back to native LX apps from GP? I set it to run within the app manager, but seemed locked into it once it started. The shell command ÝAlt)S¨ isn't documented anywhere that I could find. Well, that's it.

Yes. There are at least two GPS programs that work on the 200LX. Both are on SUPER. There's GPSCGA, a very nice shareward GPS "moving-map" package, and LXGPS, which is freeware. LXGPS has more nifty features (like displaying satellite positions and signal strengths and using standard PCX files for maps) while GPSCGA has the advantage of having an included database of cities and airports around the world. Hardware-wise, most any GPS unit that will connect to a serial port with an NMEA protocol will work. (I could be wrong on this... it's been a while since I read up on it.) Garmins are popular, as is the extremely low-priced Delorme Tripmate. To make your own maps for the 200LX, there are numerous tricks people employ... perhaps somebody else could elaborate. (My method involves copy-and-paste from Street Atlas USA, and doesn't produce a very good map because of the color scaling involved.) -- 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, 24 Jun 1998 10:38:26 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Al Kind Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Al Kind Subject: Re: WWW/LX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable 01h20m33s ago ...

With that in mind, I thought I'd toss out a few application ideas of my own, free for anyone with the skills to put them together: 1. A look-up speller -- Unlike a spelling checker that is integrated into an editor, or a "stand alone" spelling checker that inhales a text file to check it, this application would allow you to check the spelling of a single word on the fly. Simply run the program, type a word and press ÝENTER¨ to get either a confirmation or a list a suggested spellings. To get really fancy, the program could also supply a list of synonyms and antonyms for each word it recognises. (Casio used to make calculator-like things that would do this.) I looked in all the usual places (Filez, Walnut Creek, SimTel etc.) and the closest I could find to this is the Jorj dictionary program -- which is large and doesn't really work if you're unsure of the spelling. This should be a fairly easy hack for someone who already has a word list for a stand-alone spell checker /thesaurus. 2. A free-form note taker that integrates with the 200LX built-in apps -- Like FlexPad, this would allow you to hit a hot key to open a window, quickly enter information of any kind, then hit another key to save and close. Later, one could page through the notes at leisure, and assign them to the HP Appointments, Phone Book, Note Taker or Database with simple keystrokes. Maybe this could be accomplished with Smart Clip and some clever System Macros? 3. A 3D action game -- This doesn't have to be QUAKE, just something fast-moving and challenging. Think of a real-time Lair of Squid, where you get to shoot a the squids while picking up weapons, ammo, health etc. You might consider using wireframe animation for faster gameplay, which suggests a tank battle game or, better yet, a flying spacecraft game. That should be enough to keep even the most ambitious programmers busy! ;-) Come on, we know you folks have the talent! -------------------------------------------- ***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, 24 Jun 1998 11:45:38 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , hplx Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: hplx Subject: Re: Handheld computer shipments Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Jez wrote: > For info and fwiw (and not to start any more wars), I have just come across > the Dataquest analysis of the shipments of handheld computers for 96 and 97 > (in thousands of units): > > Company 1996 1997 > ------- ---- ---- ... > HP 181 241 > Casio 19 74 > Philips n/a 71 ... Interesting to note that essentially, CE was rare/nonexistent for 1996. Virtually all of HPs sales in 1996 were either DOS or GEOS based palmtops, and the GEOS based didn't sell that well, so we can contend that HP sold a solid 150,000 DOS/LX units. Also, when you consider that CASIO had its pedia out earlier than HP's CE toys, and noting that CASIO and PHILIPS had about the same number of CE units sold in 1997, then I would suggest that the 241 for HP in 1997 reflects a SUBSTANTIAL 200LX market, as in 1996, they sold 181... Perhaps not, but something to consider. I would dare say that HP sold a solid 300,000 - 400,000 200LX's from 1995 to 1997. Didn't Avi say the 400,000 figure was off by magnitudes? I doubt it. In fact, I would bet that from 1992-1998, HP has sold a solid 500,000 - 600,000 units, based on this data alone. But at least 400,000. Obviously, Avi didn't get this info. -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 24 Jun 1998 10:07:20 -0500 Reply-To: speters@kdsi.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stan Peters Subject: Modem current draw, E-list etiquette WAS: Re: Goin' Postal communications problem MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit This points to an excellent table on pcmcia modems: http://members.aol.com/pdcchrisd/ It indicates that Megahertx 28.8 modems draw too much.

Bandwidth is restricted due to frequency. VHF (that would be 2 Meter in HAM speak) is limited to 1200 baud - not very blindingly fast, but OK for email. UHF (70 cm in HAM speak) allows 9600 baud. The higher frequency - the higher thebaud (as a rule of thumb). Some folks on the amatuer radio digital newsgroup are talking about T1 on gighertz links. Packet is as kind of a client / server type setup. The basic packet station has the ability to take some data (like your typing) and push it down the stack so that it becomes a X.25 packet and gets transmitted. The actual tranmission is very ethernet like (extra credit - look up the ALOHA project). Client software also has the ability to send and receive binary type data. Clientscan talk to clients is a real time mode.Clients can also tag up to BBS systems that provide file and email services. Packet stations can also act a repeaters (store and forward) so a user can talk to stations far away by sending packets through other stations. Whew!!! It can get even more complex than that - but that's a start...

What we are speaking of is amateur packet radio, we ham operators use. It is a digital means of information transfer. It typically operates at 1200 or 9600 buad. I guess in a way you could consider it a "private" network, although it is not private. I typically send messages to people all over the world via packet, I can transfer files from a packet BBS, it is even possible to send packet messages over amsats (amateur satellites), MIR or the space shuttle. Oh yeah, you can also do SSTV (slow scan amateur TV) via packet and another hobby of many people is the downloading of weather satellite pictures.

Look into the DATA PARSE command. It's been awhile since I've used this feature of 123, but I used to do it frequently.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I think everybody assumes that HP will discontinue the 200LX in the near future. I wonder if this is a proper assumption. We think of the 200LX as a computer and therefore are used to computer life cycles which are often measured in months rather than years. However, look at how old HP's calculator line is and how they continue to produce the same old models year after year. I think HP might just keep the 200LX for quite a long time as long as there is some demand for the product. What might happen is HP will just think of the 200LX as a calculator and just sort of forget about it. This is unfortunate. I really think HP should at least upgrade the 200LX with backlighting (which is the only real reason I mentally flirt with the idea of going CE or Psion). === Dave Hart (hartd@poboxes.com) Dayton, OH USA Pillar of Fire, Pillar of Truth _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

The GNU ISPELL package for DOS provides an app called LOOK which will spell check a single word in an ASCII dictionary. I've done the same thing with XGREP.

The current system sues a 200LX, a Pico Packet TNC (Paccom) and an old FT-411. I power the whole shooting match with a 1.5AH gel cell that I picked up for $2.00 from a surplus house using a custom made cable. I use PaKet software (a DOS shareware program that is available from lots of sites). One of the main uses for the system is at the "Post Parade" event for the Rose Parade. The Tournament of Roses Radio Amateurs (TORRA) provides most of the communications for the pre-parade, the parade itself (including ATV), and at post-parade we run a packet based "lost person" database. Since there is no power at any of the "remote" sites, the packet operators are required to be portable. You should have seen the first year... I was using a Handi-Packet TNC then, which has built-in nicads that last for 15 to 20 hours. As the other operators were carrying their "portable" equipment in on wagons, or on luggage carts (laptops and car batteries are heavy!), I walked in - apparently with nothing. Someone asked where my system was and I produced the HP-LX from one pocket, the radio was on my belt, and the TNC was in another pocket. Someone remarked that I certainly would run out of power before the day was up, so I calmly reached into the first pocket and produced an 8 pack of AA batteries and said "No, I brought redundant back up." Another blow to the establishment in favor of the mighty palmtop! BTW, the antenna used there is a J-pole made from 300 ohm twin lead. This allows me to run the radio at low power (about 300mw). At this location I need to be able to talk to a base station that is about 1/2 mile away. But I periodically switch frequencies to look at a Wx node that is over 5 miles away and have no problems with the same power level. (And this is in the Los Angeles area - home of the 20 volt (just kidding) noise floor). If someone decides to get a Packet-LX discussion group going - sign me up.

Backlighting would really sweeten the deal. I was really in need of it these last few days, but somehow I managed without. It would have been better to have it, though! I remember the arguments against having Indiglo-style backlighting a few years ago, and that has all been refuted. The 200LX is one of the last without backlighting...or maybe it IS the last.

You can shell to DOS during the online session using Alt-S, then run any WATTCP-compatible program. MT is a telnet client, downloadable from SUPER. I know others use LXNNTP for news. GP will talk direct serial link by setting up a Locale with the phone number as WIRE. This will use the baud rate in modem setup, but ignores the port setting and always uses COM1. I use it this way when at home, connected to my FreeBSD box. > If not what is the best all in one Internet Package that is able to connect > using both a modem and via a direct PPP connection through the serial port?. I see you're still using 1.06beta, you'll certainly want to download the 2.15 release (same site you got 1.06beta). The link on SUPER is still good, it just hasn't been updated to say the right version yet. Version 2 has *alot* more features, and if you've got the disk space you can turn off compression and speed it up even more. If you need web browsing, I can't think of anything but WWW/LX - you can probably use Bobcat or Lynx under GP but I'd think WWW/LX would be a hands-down winner for web browsing. I don't know if it handles direct serial, Avi could tell you. > daz > Goin' Postal - HP 100/200LX (v1.06beta) EVALUATION -------------------------------------------- ***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, 24 Jun 1998 16:36:29 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , 82gntrbo <82gntrbo@SGI.NET> Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: 82gntrbo <82gntrbo@SGI.NET> Subject: Re: Need to Unstack a 10MB HP Flash Disk Comments: To: DFrick@mail.snip.net MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > > I have an HP200LX with 2MB of memory (basic unit) and a 10MB HP flash > > disk.

No banner ads, no emails selling other companies' products, no credit card numbers unless you want to upgrade. The only downside is that the word processor and scheduler go away in 45 days, and you only get 2MB of storage. The upgrade to get 10MB storage and both features back is only $60 a year. That's the catch; we're hoping you'll like the service enough to want more disk space or extra features. but the web site, email, and calculator are free. ------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer dskramer@concentric.net DK KD http://start.at/david.kramer DKK D DK KD DDDD "Oh my god, they killed Kenny G.!" -------------------------------------------- ***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, 24 Jun 1998 14:06:38 PDT Reply-To: rlbrooks@pobox.com Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Russel Brooks Subject: Applications wish list > 3.

I take it you really address this to the D&A people, since no one else would likely know what their plans are :) ... So I took the liberty to reply. You are the third, maybe fourth such request. IRC means stay online to chat, which is somewhat outside the philosophy we took with WWW/LX: Get online, grab the stuff you need, send the stuff you prepared offline, and get off! So I am not sure (1) that there is a lot of demand for it, and (2) that it is enough to convince Andreas to spend the time on it. Someone suggested that there is another interesting IRC client and asked if we would contact that person. I don't know that developer, and frankly, my incentive to do it is tiny-tiny. If that developer contacted us, I'll be glad to talk with him and see what can be done, and if it makes sense at all. Avi M.

I used "magnitudes" loosely, not mathematically as was pointed out. The 200LX began selling August 1, 1994. The 100LX and 95LX were selling large numbers in previous years. Then umbers I was told count 95LX separately from 100-200LX. The numbers you estimated are still lower than what I have been told. (Oops! So now you know the direction of the "off"ness :) ...) Avi M. ÝD&A¨ General question: Let's say someone said 400 and then modified the magnitudes up: So what would it be like: 1 magnitude would be 4000, two magnitudes 40,000 etc? Mind you, I am not implying that 400,000 plus magnitudes as I asserted would mean at least 40,000,000 - that would be hilarious! But I really asking for infomation on the use of the word. The way I used it is more like "multiples" of the quoted numbers, and I was told it is incorrect usage. So what is correct? TIA... Avi M.

There actually is a way to get a good quality B&W map out of Street Atlas. It involves mucking with the color configurations contained in the file named color.clr in your delorme directory: Specifically, copy the file color.clr to another name (like color.sav); Then edit color.clr and replace all of the configuration lines with those at the bottom of this message, and save. While you're at it save this file as color.b&w also, so you can easily change to and from B&W mode and COLOR mode. Then run SA and you should get all colors removed (except water is dark blue Ýblack in monochrome¨) You can change any of my colors to ones that you prefer. When you now copy to the clipboard and paste into a PCX file using Paintbrush (or any other graphics program that handles B&W .pcx files) it comes out clear and legible. Street Atlas is handy because it produces maps with straight latitudes and it is very easy to get exact lat & long for the indexing points. Adjacent maps join together quite accurately, at least in a 4x4 matrix; after that, some distortion creeps in. I will send my version of the COLOR.CLR file (for monochrome maps) in a subsequent message. I do not yet have a GPS unit, but I am informed by some LX users that my method works well.

They kept trying to find fault with the configuration of LXTCP. I was able to send a message to them using LXTCP. Of course the message didn't have to leave the system so I don't know any more than if I sent a message to myself. The guy I talked to, of course, never heard of dosppp or waterloo or lxpop. I am trying to find out what software they are using and trying to get these people to contact the system administrator to see what he can do. I don't know what luck I'll have because as far as I know I'm the only person using LXTCP on the system and they were already saying I should use one of their software packages to access the system. I don't want to do that. I've used slip minuet before and its a pain- LXTCP is much better. Besides I can't get Minuet onto my 2 meg c drive. LXTCP fits there very nicely and only takes up 360k. And LXTCP runs under System Manager very well. I hope you figure out whats wrong- its a tough problem. It was working though so I don't see why it can't work again. If only there was some way to trace these emails to see what's happening to them. I wish I could give you more information then LXPOP uploads the emails fine but then no one recieves them.

While it is true the ÝAlt¨ key can be set to act as a menu-key, the "true" one (built-in and always availiable) is actually ÝAlt Gr¨-Ý"Key next to Backspace"¨ (at least on my keyboard - there may be a national difference) As someone suggested, key200 may be the best soloution, but I'm not sure the LX has an ÝAlt Gr¨ button or that the key combination can be reproduced on the LX.

There was a rumor on this list, a while back, when CE first came out, that said Marketing at HP said they were dropping all other handheld lines and just going with CE handhelds.

The reason is your c drive will fill up quite quickly if you store programs and data on it (I have quite a few programs on my c drive that I want to be availible no matter what card I have in the pc card slot) and if you want to use a fast pc card modem you'll need plenty of room on the c drive for something like the complete WWW/LX package (highly reccommendeed for web browsing). Otherwise you're stuck with the slow uart and a serial modem on com1 if you put everything on a flashcard. You can also go with a combo modem/flash but they are expensive.

I've never been able to go more than 9.6k on my 200LXs (I've had two) 14.4k with LXTCP 9.6k everything else. So unless your planning on upgrading your 200LX to a doublespeed you might as well go with a 14.4 modem. I use an EXP 14.4 modem and get an easy 2 hours with it on batteries (1300mah nimh's).

Going Postal, WWW/LX, LXTCP, and palmtop.com I don't know anything about Going Postal. But from what I've read its a very good program. WWW/LX is the most expensive but it does everything and its well worth the money. You get email, news, ftp, telnet, and a browser. It handles attachments like Eudora LXTCP is freeware so you can just download and use it. It is very nice and runs very nicely under system manager. You can send attachments with it but on incoming messages attachments are imbedded in the body of the message. However since its system manager complient you can cut and paste with all the built-in apps with no problems. Palmtop.com is a free email service that uses the built-in Ccmail program. You can't do news or browsing with it but if you are looking for an inexpensive way to get email palmtop.com is it. You do have to pay for the phone calls I pay about 11 cents a minute and it usually costs anywhere from 2 to 5 dollars a month for me.

Hmm... you know, a while back they had some commercials on for a new cordless phone. The guy in the commercial took his cordless phone and went down the the grocery store but forgot his list... so he took out his cordless phone and turned it on and called his wife so she could tell him what he needed to get. The basic premise was, I believe, that this cordless phone has a very long range. Anybody know how these worked? I'm assuming that once you got out of your real range it switched over to some kind of cellular phone mode... then back once you were back in range. In any case, those might be interesting for just this sort of wireless data transfer. So how fast was the connection? > Goin' Postal - HP 100/200LX (v2.15) REGISTERED I sure hope you paid for that registration, mister, and didn't just "borrow" a copy from a friend, or the Goin' Postal author is going to be mighty ticked. -- 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, 24 Jun 1998 23:33:41 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: John Musielewicz Subject: Re: HP-95LX Connectivity Kit MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Thaddeus (palmtop paper) Last time I was on their site they were selling them.

The Undocumented DOS Commands (Updated 12/14/95) These commands may or may not work with your version or brand of DOS. Most of them require DOS 4.0 or higher but some may work with earlier versions. ; (CONFIG.SYS only) A short-cut for the REM command. :: (Batch files only) Another short-cut for the REM command, but faster (DOS just skips over any :: lines rather than processing them). ANSI.SYS /L /S /SCREENSIZE (CONFIG.SYS only) Some undocumented switches for the ANSI.SYS device driver. Anybody know what they do? ATTRIB, (ATTRIB followed by a comma) Same effect as ATTRIB -A -H -R -S *.* (removes attributes of all files in the current directory). AVAILDEV (CONFIG.SYS only) Only in DOS 1.0 through 2.x; see end of file for detailed information. COMMAND /F Automatically (F)ails floppy disk drive errors. Works either at the DOS prompt or in your SHELL=COMMAND.COM... line in CONFIG.SYS. COMMAND /D Undoes the /F switch temporarily. Type EXIT to return to the auto-fail version of DOS. Use at the DOS prompt or in batch files only. COMMAND /T /Z (Only in "MS-DOS 7.0", the DOS that comes with Windows 95.) Undocumented switches for COMMAND. Perhaps one of them enables long file names in stand-alone DOS mode -- who knows? COMMENT comment_ID (CONFIG.SYS only) Allows you to put comments onto the end of CONFIG.SYS commands. For example, COMMENT ?? lets you use: "DOS=HIGH ?? Loads DOS into high memory" Requires DOS 4.0 or higher. CPSW (CONFIG.SYS only) Only in DOS 4.x; turns on (CPSW=ON) or off (CPSW=OFF) code page switching. DIR, (DIR followed by a comma) Displays ALL files in the current directory, including hidden and system files. DOSKEY /APPEDIT /COMMAND /PERMANENT /SCRSIZE /XHISTORY (As far as I can tell, only in "MS-DOS 7.0", the DOS that comes with Windows 95.) Some undocumented switches for DOSKEY. Anybody know what they do? DRIVPARM (CONFIG.SYS only) Documented in DOS 3.3 through 6.x; undocumented in DOS 3.2, 3.3 and PC DOS 7.0. Works fine in MS-DOS 3.2/3.3 and PC DOS 7, but requires special handling in PC DOS 3.2 or 3.3; see end of file. FDISK /MBR Re-writes the hard disk drive's Master Boot Record. Useful if you hard disk drive just won't boot up properly after you format it or after you suffered from a MBR-corrupting virus. Requires DOS 5.0 or higher. Other undocumented FDISK switches: FDISK /PRI /Q /EXT /LOG /STATUS /STATUS is documented in DOS 6.0 and higher. /Q and /STATUS require DOS 5.0 or higher. /STATUS shows the current status of your disk drive partitions. FORMAT /AUTOTEST No-questions-asked format; just formats then exits. No prompt for volume label and no disk information is displayed. Requires DOS 4.0 or higher. FORMAT /BACKUP Like /AUTOTEST except asks for volume label and displays disk information (free space, etc.). Requires DOS 4.0 or higher. FORMAT /SELECT Removes the format from a formatted disk; press Y then Enter at the pause. No messages displayed. Requires DOS 4.0 or higher. IFS (CONFIG.SYS only) Only in DOS 4.x. Maybe it has something to do with CD-ROM drives, which are Installable File Systems. Uses the same format as DEVICE (IFS=C:\DOS\IFSDRVR.SYS etc.). INSTALLHIGH (CONFIG.SYS only) Works the same as INSTALL except loads the program into upper memory. Requires DOS 6.0 or higher. LH In DOS 5.0 or higher, LH is not documented in the /? help as an abbreviation for LOADHIGH but it works fine. MULTITRACK (CONFIG.SYS only) The default is MULTITRACK=ON, and MULTITRACK=OFF solves compatibility problems with antique hard disk drives. Requires DOS 4.0 or higher. See end of file for more information. SET DIRCMD=dirswitches Works fine in DOS 5.x as well as in DOS 6.0 and higher. It actually is documented in DOS 5.x but many people think it only works in DOS 6.0 and higher. SET NO_SEP=ON Removes the commas from numbers in DOS 6.2 and higher. Type SET NO_SEP= (nothing after the =) to turn commas back on. Documented in PC DOS 6.3 and higher but undocumented in MS-DOS 6.2 and higher. SHARE /NC No effect upon the performance of SHARE is noticeable when using the /NC switch but the "Invalid Switch" error message is not displayed. SWITCHAR (CONFIG.SYS only) Only in DOS 1.0 through 2.x. Lets you change the switch character (usually "/") to some other character using SWITCHAR=x. See end of file for more information. SWITCHES /K Undocumented in DOS 4.x; documented in DOS 5.0 and higher. Turns off support for 101-key "enhanced" keyboards to make ancient programs happy. TRUENAME filename.ext Displays the true, complete path of the file name specified. Ignores ASSIGN, SUBST or JOIN reassignments. If no file name is specified, displays the current complete path. Interestingly, the /? switch works with TRUENAME in PC DOS 7.0 (only), but it's not listed in the on-line help system. Requires DOS 4.0 or higher. VER /R In MS-DOS 5.0 or higher, displays the DOS revision number and where DOS is loaded (low memory, HMA, or ROM). In PC DOS 5.0 or higher, displays where DOS is loaded (the DOS revision number is always displayed in PC DOS). XCOPY /Y /-Y Not documented in MS-DOS, but is fully in PC DOS. /Y gets rid of overwrite prompts, and/-Y causes them if COPYCMD=/Y. Additional information about AVAILDEV, DRIVPARM, MULTITRACK, and SWITCHAR: AVAILDEV Syntax: AVAILDEV=TRUE or AVAILDEV=FALSE Default: AVAILDEV=TRUE This commmand controls the access to devices. Usually devices are accessed by name (e.g. CON). This behavior might be undesirable however if the user decides to use a device name as file name. AVAILDEV has been removed from DOS version 3.0 and higher so that there is no ambiguity when accessing a network. If CONFIG.SYS contains the command AVAILDEV=FALSE, the access to devices is only available using a non-existent file in the non-existent directory \DEV. For example, the device COM1 could be accessed as \DEV\COM1. DRIVPARM In DOS 3.2 and 3.3: When using DOS 3.2 or 3.3, DRIVPARM is undocumented but it can be made to work using this trick. In CONFIG.SYS, type: Normal DOS 4.0+ DRIVPARM set-up switches. \/ DRIVPARM ¬A¬A¬A {switches} /\ Type Ctrl-A, not Shift-6 A. In MS-DOS's EDIT, type Ctrl-P then Ctrl-A (you will see a smiley face on the screen). MULTITRACK Syntax: MULTITRACK=ON or MULTITRACK=OFF Default: MULTITRACK=ON Starting with DOS 3.3, disk accesses have been optimized to get better performance when working with "newer" hard disk drives. Among other things, reading and writing of more than one track with a single BIOS call has been implemented. But some problems have been obeserved with hard disk drives of some manufacturers. So the MULTITRACK=OFF option limits disk access to a single track. SWITCHAR Syntax: SWITCHAR=char Default: SWITCHAR=/ Until DOS 3.0 you could select the character that has to precede each switch. You could use the UNIX-style command syntax when using "-" as the switch character instead of "/". There is a DOS system function (Int 21h, function 37h, subfunctions 0 and 1), undocumeted until DOS 3.0, to get or set this switch character. Not all commands in all DOS versions did actually support this feature. That the reason for the removal of this option is the growing use of network software, where a selectable switch character would cause problems. --- If you find any other undocumented commands, or if you have any additional information on the commands listed above (or any "MS-DOS 7.0" secrets!), please tell me!

I'll include the two SMD decoupling capacitors also required. Those are the 1Mx16 (2Mbyte) low power self-refresh DRAM chips used in the HP200LX upgrades. The 4MB model has 2MB in the mainboard and 2MB in a daughterboard. This daughterboard is designed and has room for two 2MB chips, but only one is soldered. All you have to upgrade your 4MB machine to 6MB is the following: 1- Open your HP200LX. 2- Remove the daughterboard. 3- Remove the green protection layer from the pads where the missing chip should be. Softly scratching with a cutter will have it done in two minutes. 4- Solder the chip there, in the same position than the one already soldered. 5- Solder two SMD decoupling capacitors. I will provide them with the chip. 6- Plug the daughterboard in. 7- Close your HP200LX. And that's all. I've successfully done it and works fine. Also sold one of the chips and the buyer reported complete success too. Thanks.

I think a "structured" timer would be really nice - like 5 minutes for this, 2 minutes for that 10 minutes for the other, like the Theocratic example.

I read about another one today that not many people will have thought of. (Daily Telegraph, June 23, 1998) When a body weighed with an anchor was caught in a fishing boat's nets, police launched a murder investigation. After identifying the body (by the maintenance records for the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Chronometer it was wearing!), their invesigations uncovered a man who had stolen the victims identity and allegedly murdered him to prevent it being discovered. The nice bit is that they found the GPS navigation unit for his yacht in his garage. The GPS route history showed that he had been close to the area where the body was found just about the time that it was believed to have been dumped! After that, it was all downhill... He should have dumped the GPS, too.

On a related note, the Visible Clock program by Gene Dorr (on the SUPER site) has a similar option. The freeware version 2 at the site adds a timer and stopwatch to the normal wallclock (all with big digits), and the timer can be configured such that when zero is reached, it switches to stopwatch mode and begins marking time. Same concept as negative time, but the big digits may be a help for some. - 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, 25 Jun 1998 07:45:09 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ted Heise Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ted Heise Subject: Re: Goin' Postal comments In-Reply-To: <199806241234.HAA06280@phoenix.nlci.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Since I didn't see *any* responses, I'm assuming this message didn't make it to the list and am resending it.

I don't use GP, but most comm packages running PPP usually advise you to add the inverted ! in the Comments box for the icon in AppMgr. This effectively locks out AppMgr/SysMgr to prevent swapping (although the intention is to prevent SysMgr from polling and hence interrupting the app during critical comm work). So if you have the inverted ! (Fn-!) in the Comments box, that's the reason you can't task switch without ending the app. If that's the case, maybe you can make 2 icons, one for on-line and the other for off-line sessions. - 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, 26 Jun 1998 00:44:04 GMT Reply-To: rwhitby@asc.corp.mot.com Sender: HPLX Mailing List Comments: ( Received on motgate.mot.com from client mothost.mot.com, sender rwhitby@asc.corp.mot.com ) From: Rod Whitby Subject: Re: Forum?

I'm sure that POST/LX also has a news download facility. Of course all of this depends on you having access to a NNTP server.

If so, I'd very much like to learn of it. The MMDF format that LXPOP and LXNNTP uses is a de-facto standard used by the Unix MH mail handling tool (and also supported by VM under Emacs, and exmh under raw X Windows, and a number of other Unix mail tools). It's an improvement over the other Unix folder format cause it doesn't suffer from the 'embedded From' problem. I think it might even be an RFC in itself, but I don't have the details handy. So if you have a set of messages stored in MMDF format, then you can just tranfer the complete folder between the palmtop and the desktop and read the messages with different tools on each platform. This is the key to easy Unix-palmtop interoperability. MMDF is simply RFC822 with four C-A (ascii 01) characters and a CRLF pair delimiting each message. -- Rod Whitby, Staff Engineer, Electronic Design Automation -- -- Motorola Australia Software Centre - Adelaide, Australia -- -- Phone: +61 8 8203 3526, Fax: +61 8 8203 3501, -- -- Personal: rwhitby@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: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 09:22:52 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Souza, Mr Stephen" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Souza, Mr Stephen" Subject: Re: Another Pocket Packet Ham Comments: To: Ari Kosonen MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain I have and use a KPC-3 and Baycom TNC, with an Alinco 580, a Quantum battery pak and HP200LX.

(2) And a way to switch between them, just like under the System Manager. Thus, shelling out from one program (as you can do in Html Viewer, Calvin and many others) won't do, because it works like a stack. (3) Of course, I'd *really* like multi-tasking, but let's forget this pipe dream (at least until the first two are satisfied)! SPECIFICALLY ------------ on the SUPER site, MaxDOS and SWAP ... seem to shell out - see (2) above TASKLIST ... seems to be a short-cut to switch between System Manager Applications. On SimTel, DOSamatic ... may be the ticket - but it seems big... (all the multi-taskers I've heard of crash, and DV is huge, so let's forget it ) Thanks, I really would like to know about this... -- Brendan.Macmillan@cs.monash.edu.au http://www.cs.monash.edu.au/~bren Voice +61 03 9905 5194 law thesis: Ecommerce impersonation -------------------------------------------- ***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, 25 Jun 1998 10:17:00 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Peniel Romanelli Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Peniel Romanelli Subject: Quoting...

I had forgotten about Collins. At the cost of about US$48, I think I'll wait for others to comment first on the size and usefulness. Jorj is half the price, and I have no idea how extensive (number of words or definitions) either is capable of. Trouble is, the more extensive the word list, the bigger the application (duh!), and I'd like to find something that's a working compromise personally speaking, of cost, size and feature. I have the disk space (a 40mb card), but feel silly carrying around an expensive electronic dictionary for occasional use that occupies a good portion of my even more expensive storage, when a $2 paper copy usually does as well (for the few times I need it).

You forgot Software Carousel. Commercial software and a bit pricey (depending on your means), and not to be used on 6/13/98. Takes a fair amount of disk/ram resources, depending on how many sessions you want to prepare for. Shareware sources also listed several swapper, none of which I've been able to make work on the LX (Multiple Choice, Fast Flip, etc), although I'll admit I didn't spend a lot of time on them. They kept locking up the system. Another old commercial software that may hold promise (if I ever find it), is DoubleDos. I believe it was a simple 2 DOS session swapper .. may have been the precursor to SC. Seems there was also a shareware item some time back that just split the available ram (ie 640k) into 2 partitions, thus minimizing any swap space needed. Can't recall specifics tho... the hunt goes on. - 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, 25 Jun 1998 09:21:19 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "R.

Four weeks ago they arrived by mail including both of the decoupling capacitors. I bought a soldering iron at Radio Sharks, got an extremly thin tip to it and started the upgrade. The description how to open my hp I found at a web page. With this side it was pretty easy to open the case. The daughterboard could be removed without problems to do the soldering on a plane surface. I used a tweezers to remove the protection layer and soldered the coper pads immeadetly. After resoldering all pads, I put the SMD-chip on the pads and reheated allt pads. Same for the capacitors. Placed the daughterboard back on the mainboard, assembled the case, did a Ram-check with the build in self test and found 6MB. => DONE! All togeher I took me 90min to do the upgrade. Having no ESD workplace , I connected we with a blank wire to the metal sink to avoid electrical static damage to my LX. And not familar with SMD soldering before, I also did some soldering prtice with the new iron I got. I did this with a plain circuit board. After the upgrade I notice NO difference in battery consumption, I still get 14h out of my 1300mAh NiMe ones. I can recommend this chip to everybody having the upgradeable hp. It is a very inexpensive way to get 50% more memory. Thanks again Nacho for this chips! Jens > > Hi, > > I still have two of those chips for sale, $20+shipping each.

What annoys me even more is when people quote a message without indicating what is quoted text and what is not. It makes it impossible to see the difference and you have to refer to the original message again all the time.

You forgot Software Carousel. Commercial software and a bit pricey (depending on your means), and not to be used on 6/13/98. Takes a fair amount of disk/ram resources, depending on how many sessions you want to prepare for. Shareware sources also listed several swapper, none of which I've been able to make work on the LX (Multiple Choice, Fast Flip, etc), although I'll admit I didn't spend a lot of time on them. They kept locking up the system. Another old commercial software that may hold promise (if I ever find it), is DoubleDos. I believe it was a simple 2 DOS session swapper .. may have been the precursor to SC. Seems there was also a shareware item some time back that just split the available ram (ie 640k) into 2 partitions, thus minimizing any swap space needed. Can't recall specifics tho... the hunt goes on. - 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, 25 Jun 1998 11:31:50 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Charles E.

No. 1MB and 2MB models have the expansion connector but no daughterboard. So, you would need to design and build your own. 4MB models are just 2MB models with a 2MB daughterboard already plugged in the expansion connector. This board has only one 2MB chip, but is designed for two. All that must be done is soldering another one. Regards.

I couldn't agree more. I find it very difficult to sort through those messages that have quoted material with no indication of what is being quoted.

I logged on to one of my Unix accounts with no problems. When I tried to log out (exit) my 200LX locked up and I had to hard reboot, but I'm assuming this can be cleaned up with a modification of modem initialization string. So far GP itself has been unable to hang up the modem without resorting to the +++ so it's prolly the same deal. It is very encouraging to actually get logged on though.

That's all well and good, but in my case my decision to register hinged on whether I could use GP to enable telnet access. I know other people had said it was possible, but I'm the kind of person who has to try it for himself. Not very feasible if the ÝAlt¨+Ýs¨ isn't documented. Thanks for a great little program. I'm about 90% decided to register. Do you have plans to expand the addressbook capabilities? Right now I have over 150 entries in my Pine .addressbook and would be severely limited in this respect by GP.

DIR /A:H /S It shows *only hidden* files on the entire disk. No searching through loads of listings, just shows the hidden files.. :) In similar fashion, if you want to show only files, dir /a:-d works. (There's no Files only switch, so make it No Dirs. :) And as was already mentioned, CHKDSK tells how many hidden files there are. It's possible the missing 2M is in a swap file that's not where it 'should' be. Who knows. CHKDSK will tell how many bytes are used in hidden files. -- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.. . . Walter Francis _.

I can't comment on much to the rest of this message, but I can say this; 14400 and 33600 are *not* DCE baud rates. IE: Go into the built-in COMM software and look at the available baud rates. 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 are the possible rates in this area. Try 19200. BTW, 14000/33600 are DTE rates, modem to modem rates, and are independant of the DCE computer to modem speed. A higher DCE speed allows compression of the data between modems so while modems are conversing at 33.6k with compressed data, that data is sent to the computer uncompressed which requires a faster connection speed, say of 115k. Oh, and I use LXTCP at 38400 and have a problem occationally with LXNNTP reporting that a message timed out and the machine soft locking. But Rob has suggested that LXNNTP has nothing to do with the message, it's the NNTP server reporting it. The lockup is still the fault of LXNNTP AFAIK. -- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.. . . Walter Francis _.

I have used it for years on my Amiga and for quite a while on the Palmtop, and a companion package called Microspell offers part of what you desire. There is a programme included called BIC that takes a word as an argument, and returns 12 or so close matches, and unless the word isn't in the dictionary I've never spelled anything bad enough for it to not be returned, so the lookup algorithm is pretty good.. :) I've switched to PalEdit from uEmacs because uEmacs is slower and requires CGAHelp (which may account for the slowness), and still isn't highly readable. Perhaps tinkering with the CGAHelp colour scheme would fix that problem. Anyway, I have archived all the uEmacs stuff except for the uSpell dictionary and BIC and still use them constantly as I can't speel wirth a durn. :) If I could only apply BIC to the PE dictionaryI could save ~240k, but oh well.. :) -- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.. . .

In any case, re windows 98 and the free 266 MHz PC Which do you mean, the HW or the SW? With my current 133MHz, The new Celetron doubles my speed. I'm not crazy or intended to have W98, but since it dropped out of the blue, I'll give it a play. It reallly is an offer not many would refuse. To most of the tenn people who got it last night, it was an extra (abet great new) machine, free. In either case, I won't know for a long while (a month) as the PC is in the middle of my living room floor for me to feast my eyes on awhile as I ponder how to reconfig it with my present components. It came with 2.5 GB and I have 6GB that I want to switch. Then of course, all the SW gotta be reinstalled etc.... Almost make its not worth having :). An enjoyable chore and nice time killer tho....

Nothing specific at Comdex that I know of for the 200LX, but there will doubtless be plenty of flash card / WinCE related stuff. I live in the LV area; perhaps if there are enough people on this list attending fall Comdex we could all get together one evening for a dinner / users group meeting or something. -- Visit the 200LX site at http://coyote.accessnv.com/davidsa/hp -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 17:11:01 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Yujin Nagasawa Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Yujin Nagasawa Subject: Re: COMDEX Fall Comments: To: James Gill MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Maybe they will introduce a new ATA flash card larger than 200MB.

They want to use it to replace a laptop and a car battery (something the 200Lx will do very well). He is trying to use qbasic to access com1. I don't know anything about qbasic so does anyone know if it will work for this? Will qbasic make the right calls to com1? He is using the following: open "com1:9600,N,8,1,cs20000" I have already told him to run under pure dos, asked him for a pinout on the serial cable, and told him to check com1 with a serial modem to make sure its working. Is qbasic the wrong basic to use- should he use something like first basic (super site)? Basic should work shouldn't it? After all the 200LX is pretty much an XT. Thanks for any input.

Well, I think that all the discussants know this. This thread started out as someone asking if it was possible to use the HP Menu Key as THE menu key for WP51, instead of the defaults (either Alt=, or as later suggested, if you change the setup, just the Alt alone). My follow up suggestion is to make macros such that you don't ever have to call the *main* menu, since you jump straight to the specific submenu. This thread is for the finicky, not the pragmatics. We know we can use Alt=, we just wanna make WP more HP.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Today I inadvertently tested the reliability of my backup filing system and I can report that it worked successfully. Thank goodness for backup files!!! If I wouldn't have kept mine up to date I would be in deep s__t. While at the DOS prompt (via the system manager) I ran the command..."mem/c|more" to see what my palmtop's memory looked like. The standard results displayed like I thought they would except that the palmtop locked up. The screen display wouldn't scroll and I couldn't get back to the prompt. Ctrl-Alt-Del wouldn't work and it wouldn't turn off so I took the next drastic step and pulled a AA battery out to cut the power. I thought that it would reboot when I put it back in. However when I replaced it I just got a very garbled display and the keyboard still wouldn't respond. I did this a couple of more times to no avail. I finally called the HP support phone line for help. I then learned that Ctrl-Shift-On would perform a hard reset of the palmtop. The trouble was that it didn't prompt me to decide if I wanted the memory reformatted or not, I'd apparently pulled the batteries out for too long and lost everything. Ouch! Or it would have been if I hadn't just backed up all my files to my PC two days ago. Thank goodness I did that. The moral of this story is to always have a current backup. I've learned my lesson to perform full backups more faithfully. What caused my palmtop to hang after that DOS command though? I'm hesitant to try it again. I was also very surprised to see how much memory the system manager takes up. I only have about 93K left to run a program. Is that correct? How do people run WordPerfect 5.1 or LotusWorks, etc. with so little memory? I guess you must 'terminate all' from the menu of the system manager and manually launch the applications from the DOS prompt. This still only gives me about 591K of usable memory for programs. Do people load files into high memory? What about the device drivers etc. that are needed to do that? Where are they? It would seem that they would need to be special for the palmtop since its processor isn't a 386 or higher. The last time I messed with this DOS memory stuff manually was with DOS 5.0 and an Amstrad 386 about 6 years ago. About the only thing I remember about that is that I didn't like it. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 25 Jun 1998 23:49:53 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: John Musielewicz Subject: Re: A lesson learned about backups...

I guess you must 'terminate all' from the menu When you run Dos from system manager you are only allotted the memory set in the system setup program. That is adjustible from 50k to 250k (I think). What is actually availible to system manager to run programs is on the lower left hand side of ap manager. Mine says 406k availible out of 513k. So I have 406k to run programs. If you add the | symbol at the end of the command line when you add a program to ap manager you can selectively add all the memory you need up to whats availible. So if the program will run in what you have availible you can run it from the ap manager screen. If you need more there's variuos ways to do it. Shutting down System Manager is the easiest but its only one of many ways to do it.

But then, I always like to have a dictionary within reach :-). Even so, the hit on my flash card hurts. I didn't know about Jorj when I made my decision. I looked at the Gutenberg Webster stuff, but didn't like the "spelling" of the marked up words--too hard to search. I finally decided that the price was cheap compared to the cost of additional research and shopping, and I wanted the Series 100 Multilingual dictionary too.

It would seem that they would need to be special for the palmtop since its processor isn't a 386 or higher. The last time I messed with this DOS memory stuff manually was with DOS 5.0 and an Amstrad 386 about 6 years ago. About the only thing I remember about that is that I didn't like it." -------------------------------------------- I guess I ran WP 5.1, drivers, and my TSRs with no problems. If I had a problem, I either made it work or dumped the silly pgm. I also like to use min mem resourses. A lot of pgms don't do enough of essentials or do a lot of stuff you don't need and take up space, like a sewing machine with 350 stitches. Having tried most teex editors, I now use WP 1.0 and pared that down to 50kb with help file. It has all the basic features of any WP. WP also put out a smaller subset about 8 yrs ago similat to WP5 but half the size. Also the way to see how to screw up is when yor LX is empty. Try all those pesky x pgms and see what happens. If shmit does happen, you learn at little risk. Backup are needed but how much time did it take you to reload and reorganize?

Don: I don't know *squat* about stocks... but there was an interesting write-up in the current Palmtop Paper issue. A fellow developed a semi-automatic method to track his stocks from the 200LX.

It's a little strange for those of us spoiled by Windows word processors, but pretty nifty nonetheless. Get version 5.1 if you can find it. I had a few problems getting it to run without freezing, but somebody had a solution-- can't remember what it was though. WP51 has a whole ton of features that, if you dont mind the non-GUI interface, are pretty useful to do writing on the go. (And if you do mind it, there's an option to turn on the pull-down menus.

Expansion has been my problem. I have a bizarre PATH that *seems* to be there (displays ALL of it when I query from the DOS prompt) but, in practice is not! I can type a command in DOS and, unless I'm in the right directory, it won't work (bad command or file name...). I *LOVE* what the folks at Thaddeus have done for me (no kick-back, just a pleased customer) They've bent over backwards for me and the end result is: a 32 MEG Double-speed 200LX. It started out as a 4MB stock model, that I sent in, if that makes a dif. I run a 6MB Smart Modem/Memory combo, left over from my 100 LX days and Buddy. Those are the only other unusual things. I can't think of the "last change" to debug this. Word Perfect 5.1 used to lock-up when the drives were in the default (Thaddeus config.) swap; so I unswapped them. This fixed WP for a little while, but not "QuickLink 2 Fax". I'm left w/ a 2MB C: drive and the 32 is G: (The Smart drive is F:, the usual expanded drive). Now, WP locks up in this configuration too. Also PE, which used to let me run "PE " and open that file only works in it's own directory too << PE is in the path and I could once be in ANY directory w/ a document or .BAT file and edit it with this handy feature >>. Admittedly, "FastLink" (FX) and "QuickLink 2 FAX" have never run in the upgraded palmtop, they must look for something very stable in the PATH or drive positioning, not a software dep. drive ... I *depend* on FX for my file transfers and, luckily it runs fine from "A:" on an unaltered 2MB Flash Card (and it can access G: or anything else...). I don't have to make that FAX program work - it's just an example of something that won't run for me... This is a long post, but I'm stumped!!! I almost teethed on PATH troubleshooting and haven't had a DOS trouble in years (it's still my preferred OS for work, etc.). I've REMed out the drivers for the Smart Modem/memory and rewritten the path statement to match the new drives, I've tried re-swapping G: and C: and I've REMed out most odd programs and drivers. My only two additions to this are to list the file sizes and dates and both my Autoexec.bat and Config.sys, after my sig.

Yes, WP51 has some weird key bindings compared to "modern" wordprocessors - F3 is help, F1 is cancel (not ESC)! and so on. However, some of these key bindings can be changed in the setup, so it will act more like a "normal" wordprocessor. I'm not sure precisely which, but F1 can be made to act as help and I think ESC can be changed to . This should help those who want to try WP on the LX, but who are not used to its key bindings. BTW.

I was worried about stressing the hinges so I took the endcaps off and applied a drop of machine oil to each joint. For a few dozen openings it didn't seem to make any difference. Then all of a sudden something seemed to sort of give and it became floppy. So much so that the display would not stay in place. In retrospect I think I used too much oil. I treated the disorder by squirting down each hinge with absolute (100%) ethanol, reasoning that it would dissolve and carry away some of the oil. It seemed to help a little, and after several sessions with the wash bottle the hinges operate perfectly: enough resistance to stay in place, but not enough to worry me about cracking.

Generally, just pull off the right cap and put a little rubbing alcohol on it. Work it back and forth, and it tightens it up fairly well for a while. > btw: I've never been able to lift the caps off the end. It would seem > to take a great deal of force. Well, if you try to pull them off with your fingers, probably. Get your fingernail inside the crack on the back, and then the front, and just work it open. Only takes a slight bit of force, and once you've done it, you'll be able to do it again. -- 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: Fri, 26 Jun 1998 15:49:05 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Donald Collins Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Donald Collins Subject: Re: Quoting...

If you imported your autoexec.bat file into your message then you have an error as it says g\pe instead of g:\pe. This would explain why pe only works in its own directory. Correcting the above may solve your other problems as well but you should also check the cfg files of all the programs that do not work to ensure that all parameters involving directories point to the correct drives.

HP2000CE Hello all, This is my first message to the list. I hope to have a HP200LX soon, but I use my IBM XT w/CGA at home, a P166 elsewhere. I have a collection of old games for the PC, including the 3D graphic adventure called DARKSIDE. It seems interesting, but it's not a shoot'em'up and the it's world is quite complex. I have tried to turn up something over the Net to no avail. Did one used it on HPLX or desktop or still has docs, etc? It is not much use without instructions. Btw, it is feasible anyhow to play some strategy/adventure games on the 200lx palmtop; like Pirates! (pre-gold version) or Carrier Command, Sub688i? With a 8Mb (or 32MB) unit and a task-swapper, you could play campaigns up to 50 hours! Another topic: I my sound like a traitor, but HPLX functionality should be transferred to the WinCE world. I keep thinking, that HP should build a unit with same dimensions, non-backlit LCD with 640x240 mono res., very similar to the recent HPLX. Should it target the engineering/medical market be it an SH-4 based and 32MB gifted machine, maybe with optinal FPU or so. It needs to house a piece of EEPROM for the purpose of storing an MS-DOS emulator (HP either buy XTCE or develop one, first more ethical) with an option to the user to flash it as it matures. It should keep all SW currently in the 200lx (except maybe CC:mail) and have a boot monitor. A HP48GX equivalent calculator welcome. It should have a compact flash and a PCMCIA TypeII slot as well; one USB port hidden in one of the hinges and an RS-232/parallel switchable port as com1/lpt1 and IrDA as Com2. This is probably a great deal of problem, as WinCE is weak on ports, maybe 3.0. Anyhow, seems like standard ports are very important in success and HP gave bad example not updating the SIR to IrDA on 200lx, and crippled serial port on the 95LX. I think built-in modem is not OK, it sucks too much currenct. Also backlit is beyond reach for the sake of those 2 AAs. One of the questions is: should its keyboard design be similar to that of the Psion 3/a that it only has a closed and a fixed rotation open position? It may prevent latch problem with HPLX and make the unit more durable, if dropped open. What about a metal casing? Is it worth an ounce vs. strenght?

However, some kind soul once patched it so it would work on the 95LX and that version also works on the x00LX. It can be found on Eddie , but it is still recommended that you download the version on Simtel as the one on Eddie doesn't include the documentation... (the file is called mc.com or mc.doc or something like that. I think it is in hp95lx/tools/ on Eddie) (BTW. one further benefit of the one on Eddie is that you don't need a copy of command.com on drive A:, the built-in one is sufficient as long as COMSPEC is set up properly.) Oh, and while MC runs well on the LX it is not perfect. It does something weird with the keyboard I think (and not all of its keyboard functions work), but at least it doesn't crash the LX.

It's suitable for anyone who wants simple, stable, powerful, capable and un-cluttered word processing in a plain DOS environment. And, it has Reveal Codes! Something that Microsoft can only long for!

Its this time of month dept: Gripes and groans: The HP200LX and all its public domain s/w is allmost an exercise in futility... (sigh) Everything works ..allmost.... There is no decent fax software that supports graphics files that any of the compact drawing packages produce, there is no dBase compatible database (yes I want to program!) (and I have lost my dBase 3 for msdos disks long ago!) The 123 add-inns work allmost, the calculator programming is allmost comprehensible, TCPIP s/w is either arcane (nettamer) expensive (wwwlx) or slow and outdated (minuet with only SLIP) etc etc etc. End of Gripes And Groans. Beginning of meaningfull questions dept: I am baffled as to why the irda s/w at the SUPER site doesn't work with 123. The txt file says it only works with the built in apps, and that it doesn't work at all with 123. This is a half truth. It will print from 123 but it prints everything 3 times for good measure. The s/w was written long ago. Where is the author?? Why are there no new versions? can we persuade him to get in touch with some of the 123 dev. team to work out the routines that 123 used to control the printer? (They are really arcane, like writing directly to the port and ignoring printer feedback, and lacking "where on the page am I?" routines) As it is the IRDA s/w is just another "nearly made it" apps that we seem to be stuck with. I for one would gladly pay say $500 for an application suite that would: allow me to fax international characters and graphics provide a half way normal i/f to nettamer print to irda printers without hassle allow me to manipulate a database (joins & real select and update statements) Should we form an initiative and hire someone to do the job? Better a perfect 200lx in a few months than waiting around for Bill & co to get it right! Right?

If I recall, the RAM speed isn't that much faster than even a flash card for reading-- so there's precious little difference no matter which kind of DRAM you're using.

I can see why the one at eddie lacks documentation as the version at Simtel says registration is a whopping $64 (compared to just a bit more for Software Carousel). Aside from that, I'm having problems with the display while swapping between even plain text windows (Calvin on one and a simple file manager on the other). Swapping back to a full screen session seemed to lose the page (ie is blank or missing chunks) even tho the application (Calvin, etc) appears to be working OK. I'v tried the DISPCTL +C +K suggested in the doc. And COMSPEC is setup OK too. Additionally, it looks like the other MC features mentioned in the Simtel doc have been disabled including the Cntl/+/- to terminate MC, even tho I found this can be done using a simple DOS EXIT (which then gets a "catastrophic error" msg from MC.

Just a word of warning, it appears that it's still being supported and marketed tho no longer by Borland (who bought out Ashton-Tate). See www.framework.com. The guy there says he got the rights to the source from Borland and has taken it to FW-6. Also note that he's a 200LX user and has developed a special version for the LX, he may even be in our audience. I believe he's selling FW-6 for $250, and I don't know about the LX version, but I'm sure it's not cheap. He claims FW has a following in Germany. When I first got my LX, the first consideration was to run FW3 on it. After I got to use the built-in apps, FW became less important, tho it's still used to integrate parts of a project or report from time to time. It differed from other integrated packages in its hierarchic orientation .. picture something like PC-Outline, but being able to imbed spreadsheets, databases and graphs along with text documents in the outline. And so yes Al, it is somewhat redundant given the built-ins, but no more so than old friends if we have the time and resources for them.

The last time I talked to him (by phone, last year), Nettamer was just being invoked as another DOS app. At the time, the extent of his integration was to re-program two of the custom LX keys to do the FW In-Out navigation functions. - 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, 28 Jun 1998 00:02:47 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ian Butler Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ian Butler Subject: Re: Need to Unstack a 10MB HP Flash Disk Comments: To: 82gntrbo <82gntrbo@SGI.NET> In-Reply-To: <3591405E.7A0C94AB@sgi.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" At 02:07 PM 6/24/98 -0400, you wrote: >I have an HP200LX with 2MB of memory (basic unit) and a 10MB HP flash >disk.

I'm new to this stuff, so type slow so I can understand you. :) If your card is stacked with Stacker 3.0 (which is very likely), there is a program that you can run to temporarily "mount" the flash in your laptop. It's included on most flash cards, but it's also easily lost. ("This is the most delicate and important device you will ever handle, and also the first thing that falls out of the box.") I think I still have that program, if you want it. It's also available at http://comports.com/hplx . Hope this helps! Ian Butler Advanced Software Systems, Inc.

Message-Id: <19980628133743.TEKU8258@Ý12.64.8.196¨> Date: Sun, 28 Jun 1998 13:37:43 +0000 I'm a big FW-3 user and have that version loaded on my LX (only cuz I can't find a cheap copy of FW-4). FW is a spreadsheet to some, but it's mostly a wordprocessor to me. Even then, it lacks the WYSIWYG features you'd expect from more modern word-processors (even lacks page preview) and I admit I don't use it a lot on the LX. The spreadsheet is actually easier to use for many people than 123. Again it lacks many power features such as DataTable and its graphs are close to awful. You can however, link spreadsheets (and to databases). To me, the power of FW comes from the way it lets me combine a mixture of wordprocessing, spreadsheet and database files into an organized collection. Organization is its strong suit, just as data-entry and data-query was the suits for Agenda and InfoSelect (or so it sounded). When I work on a project, I use spreadsheets to track totals and compute forecasts. I also generate notes and memos on various aspects of the project or on the spreadsheets themselves. A non-FW system would have me throwing these into a directory where they'll be ordered in a more or less random fashion and with 12 char filenames. FW lets me create a single file containing all those pieces and organized as items in an outline. In fact, the outliner lets me organize how I want to approach a problem (much as any traditional outliner), but where it differs is that in the end, the documents are incorporated into the outline, sorta like adding substance to the form. Sorry this rambled, but like Agenda and InfoSelect, FW has a unique strength that seems greater than the sum of its parts and is not always easy to describe. And I have no real idea of how FW-5 differs from FW-3. - 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, 28 Jun 1998 09:33:27 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , bamcilvaine Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: bamcilvaine Subject: Modem and other stuff Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Two questions: 1.

I figure I might end up losing my HP-100, but I won't get as much flak about "toys!" 2. (Off HPLX topic) I don't subscribe to any other list to ask this question to, so I'll give it a shot here. I recently purchase a used Dell Latitude 4100 Laptop, which has been great for accessing and backing up my flashdisk, among other things. I ran SPEEDISK.EXE on it and foud I have an 8MB contiguous file named "386spart.par". My guess is that "part" stands for partiiton, but I have no idea what this file is for or what program(s) use it. I still have plenty of hard disk space availabe, so I am not ready to trash it, but I am curious as to what it is. Since this is probably not of interest to the generic HPLX community, please respond to me directly. Thanks for any info you might have.

There are so many files on the 3 diskettes, > I'm not sure which ones I need Hi Ray, Heres the information that you seek. Installing Stacker on the HP 100 & 200LX 1- Start with a freshly formatted (or defragmented) card. 2- Include the following in your config.sys file: device=a:\stacker.com files=30 buffers=6 (you may use 15,5) shell=d:\dos\command.com /p d:\dos (Any device drivers needed to read drive A must be loaded before loading the stacker device driver). 3- Create a file named 'stacker.ini' in the root dir of the drive you will be compressing and type the following: /P=10 /EMS (only for those with EMS available on their 200LX) /AUTO A:\STACVOL.DSK,RP (Save this as an ascii file with carriage returns following each line). The P=10 tunes Stacker for maximum compression, ie: 'MAXSPACE'. The EMS switch saves about 35K of conventional mem. 4- Copy only these files to the 200LX: stacker.com create.com screxec.exe screxec2.exe (Total: 217,079 bytes) (These may be placed on any drive or dir but the full path will be needed to execute them. You may remove the last 3 after rebooting and successful completion). 5- Terminate Appmgr and type Ýdrive¨Ýpath¨ create a: /s=0 /r=2.5 This will create a hidden stacvol.dsk on drive A using all the available space with a comp ratio calculated at 2.5:1. 6- Reboot and you're finished. Now, wasn't this *easy* . Sidebar: Stacker 3 includes a file called stackpalm.exe which makes light work of the above and even edits config.sys for you (of course version 3 uses no ini file).

It also has a simple 3D system, and a hidden-line plotting module for surface functions. These commands were used on most HP basic-based computers like the HP85, HP9800 series, and HP2647 programmable terminals. For whatever reason, this command set never caught on outside of the HP world. You can still get HP plotters for $400 or so, I have an extra one. I haven't had time yet to dust it off, but I'm wondering how much interest there is in it, I could make it available as free ware. Otherwise I'll probably just let it sit around for a few more years. To plot sin(x) / X for example, the program would simply be 10 :newplot 20 :scale -PI,PI,-1.0,1.0 30 for x = -PI to PI step PI/20 40 :plot x, sin(x) 50 next x 60 endplot Beats the heck out of using native LINETO or HPGL with COM port statements.

That brings back memories! I have owned most of the nice HP products over the years, beginning with their first calculator. I fondly remember trying to reverse engineer the HP-85 operating system with a friend by dissasembling the ROMS with the assembler package! The floor of a warehouse was littered with computer paper and we traced variables for days! One of the truly great HP products, and one that gave credence to the Basic language. I always wondered why "those other people" (mainly apple users) would put up with such arcane hardware end software. Heck, if I tired of writing my own software I could even run Visicalc from my tapedrive! Given i had the right money, I would love to invite the guys responsible for HP Basic, their wonderful plotters, the HP-85, the 41C and the 95 to a brainstorming session about the future of computing. Seems to me we've lost the way somewhere. The ingeniuity of those products are hard to beat. I remember doing assembler programing on the 41C with undocumented op-codes, and getting more than a thrill from doing it - I also got some serious work done! Nowadays you see packages where math functions are undocumented because the majority of users don't use them, and have you ever tried plotting a sin(x)/x using VB for applications? Tons of code, and hours debugging event driven dialogue boxes when all you want to do is something basic that you used to be able to do with a few well thought out keystrokes. On a HP product that is. As HP has gone into bed with Microsoft, we see the sign of intelligent thought dissapearing from HP products, driven out by mindless consumerfocused, marketingdriven design. I realize I am turning into an anacronism, but nowadays if I express a novel idea, I like to use the blackboard! I suppose I am evolving backwards into the greek philosopher myth where the medium of communication was circles drawn in the sand! Anyway, I really appreciate s/w like softplot, and wish you every success if you decide to market it for a HP200 environment with its Deskjet printers!

One day this guy came in with it and my boss said he didn't want it. I told the guy that I would take it and asked him how much he wanted for it. He had the flashdisk and an Apps disk for an HP Omnibook 600(?)and he said he just wanted to get rid of them, so I bought both for $30. So, since I don't use the Apps disk, I guess I really got the flashdisk for $30. But, I guess it was a one-time only deal -- sorry! However, if anybody wants the Apps disk (HP Model F1030A), you can have it for the $15 plus the price of shipping and for return copies of the software on it. (On CD or something.) It has (I don't know which versions, if anyone can tell me, that would be helpful.) MSDOS, Windows, Word, Excel, Mouse Drivers, Flash File System, Laplink Remote Access, etc. Otherwise, if anyone can tell me another way to make it work, then that would be good, too. I tried it in the 200LX and in other computers with PC Card slots, but I've never been able to get it to work.

That is about the number of files I have in my database directory (not all of them are gdb format). I thought that you could only paste between databases of the same format - is this the problem? I have two databases that are the same format - one called `todo' and another called `done'. Normally I use Extract and Merge to transfer data from one to the other but I just tried marking and copying three records - only the last record marked was copied over. Copy seems to only work on the record that is highlighted - not on the records that are marked. This can also be tested by marking a group of records, copying them and pasting into memo - only the highlighted record is transfered. Is this the way you are selecting a group of records for transfer?

I thought you folks might be interested in hereing about it. Last Thursday, a Sheriff and deputy were transporting 2 felons to a high securtity prison in Mississippi. While enroute the 2 thugs over powered the lawmen, tied them up and left them in a barn. They the travelled into Alabama, upon entering the Tuscaloosa city limits the were stopped by a Tuscaloosa PD officer whom they shot and then fled the scene. They were still in the Jones County, MS Sheriff's Dept Car which they dumped in Tuscaloosa. A massive manhunt was undertaken. Late Thursday night I was able to get jpegs of the two suspects and installed them to my 200LX along with all their physical data. I keep my 200LX on the dash of my patrol car with velcro so while using LXPIC I was able to display their ugly faces on demand. I spent all day Friday driving the interstate system constantly looking between the 200LX and other driver's faces. Unfortunately neither I, or any other members of the numerous agencies were able to locate the suspects on Friday. Late Saturday night, 11:00PM local time, a Moody, AL policeman stopped a car for a traffic violation (there's no such thing as a 'routine' stop), the car contained the two suspects, they shot and killed him. He was 29 years old and had a wife and infant child. The suspects fled the area on foot. One of the bastards was caught today, but one is still on the loose. The City of Moody, 15 miles east of Birmingham, is totally shut down and surrounded, no one comes in or out. I will be back out in the area tomorrow and yes, my 200LX will be with me, only this time I only have to display the picture of one of the subjects. If you live east of Alabama, like Georgia or maybe even the Carolinas, I suggest you get a newspaper and find out what this guy looks like.... he's one mean sucker! I knew that 200LX's were used at the Oklahoma City bombing and now mine has served me for this task... it's amazing how versatile and useful our little machines can be! 73 and stay safe, Jeff *--------------------------------------------------------------------* |Jeff Johns KF4KGQ Reserve Captain Jefferson County Sheriff's Dept| |Email: jeffj@scott.net Urgent AlphaPager Email: pagejeff@scott.net| |QTH: Birmingham, Alabama USA ------ Posted via an HP200LX Palmtop PC| *--------------------------------------------------------------------* Goin' Postal - HP 100/200LX (v2.15) REGISTERED -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 29 Jun 1998 00:19:41 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: LX Packet Question Comments: cc: jeffj@SCOTT.NET >> Did you remember the cable for the LX was made to work to another >>computer not into a modem type device like your BayPack Modem... >> You need a Null Modem to make it work.. >> 73 Dean W5GXL Message-Id: <19980629042019.HZRN27085@Ý12.64.37.248¨> Date: Mon, 29 Jun 1998 04:20:19 +0000 >Arrrgh.....

In good light, the 200lx screen is among the easiest to read of any computer as long as you get it out off 80x25 mode. Backlighting wouldn't help that mode anyway. In bad lighting it's all but unreadable. In mediocre light it's poor. But at least it's great some of the time. I have had a number of backlit mono laptops and at their best the best of them is not too hard to read. It's never really quite good enough for reading for any length of time. I'm afraid backligting would be that way on the 200lx as well. That's great for people who do no more than look up a phone number or an address. But for those of us who do programming on it, it would be a problem. And the users of programs such as vr who want to read a book in their spare time on the palmtop, forget it. It would just not be good enough for that.

It was fairly full when I decided to unstack it to reclaim the ram used by the driver. The way I did it, and I strongly reccomend this method, was to back it up, uninstall stacker, format the disk, and then restore from the backup. I assume you have a backup method already. If you don't then I suggest doing nothing till you do. I also use my card with several laptops. I'm not familiar with the Safari. If it's Win95 it probably will recognize it as soon as you plug it in. Or it may have to look for a driver first but the Win95 driver works just fine on my Sandisk cards and the HP card is a Sandisk card with the HP name. If it's not Win95 then what you have to do is different for each computer so I can't really help there.

I'm getting used to Foxpro 2.0 on a 200LX with Times2Tech clock-doubling and 32MB RAMdisk, and thus far it's more than keeping up with me! But I haven't made it do anything fancy yet, I'm still playing with the built-in browse and RQBE stuff. I do have a question though: what do I need to do to tell Foxpro about the 200LX LCD? Right now I think it thinks it's dealing with a CGA, and drawing windows in all sorts of shades of gray, some of which are difficult to read. At one point I think I did get it to display monochrome (I think by doing MODE MONO before running it) but that also rendered the cursor invisible. -Frank McConnell -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 29 Jun 1998 10:37:59 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Longden C.

The WT program helps to compute travel distances and plots city locations on a world map (or custom maps for registered users). I've taken the census data from the Tiger Map website at: http://ftp.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/places.html (I used places.zip) and extracted the 876 cities for California and formatted them to the layout needed for wtravel.dat (for custom cities). Anyone needing a list of Calif. cities can just edit the list for the ones they want (WT appears to choke when more than 100 custom cities are entered). I don't think there are many of you out there (WT users in Calif), so just email me if you want the 34k text list. WT's a nice aid to estimating driving distances (and hence times) in Calif. The data from this list can also be manually entered into the Great Circle 123 spreadsheet (mentioned eons ago) to get a simple point to point distance. - Longden PS - The method is probably applicable to other states as well, but I didn't want to fuss with the time zones. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 29 Jun 1998 12:25:33 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , barrym Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: barrym Subject: Re: geek wireless Comments: To: David Sargeant In-Reply-To: <3591C583.7753C6C1@accessnv.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I have a 900 mHz digital cordless phone that claims to have a 3/4 mile range.

I want to support Barry: backlighting would be a mistake regarding battery life, one of the 200LX's strong points. The screen is perfectly readable even in bad lighting if you turn the screen so that it reflects the light source. Some time ago I bought a small battery light from one of the sources advertising in the Palmtop Paper. I never use it.

Probably a misunderstanding. From the 636K max you lose memory to keep Device drivers and TSRs, then SysMgr is about 135K. so you are left with about 480K more or less. SysMgr applets (Memo, Phonebok etc) take memory form that 480K. Your 93K could have been another parameter. Inside System Manager you can run one DOS program. You can specify how much memory to allocate to it. That method starts another instance of DOS _while inside_ sysmgr. When you press Ctrl-Filer, then Advanced you'll see the third parameter is how much memory to allocate to that instance of DOS. Make it 200 and next when you press Ctrl-123 you'll get a DOS instance with 200K. Provided you have enough memory left. You can get ALL the leftover memory for a dos instance if you press Filer, then Menu, option, Dos. Avi M.

Backlighting wouldn't help that mode anyway. What about front-lighting? I've never tried backlighting my palmtop, as this would require dismantling it. But when I do front light it, using a battery powered portable lamp or a regular reading lamp on my desk, the readablility is improved considerably, in all modes. > I want to support Barry: backlighting would be a mistake regarding battery > life, one of the 200LX's strong points. True, but only if a screen (front or back) light was installed in such a manner so it was always on. Every illuminated LCD screen I've seen has an operator control, so that the light could be turned on/off. With such control, the operator has the choice whether to use precious current on lighting the palmtop or not. In many instances, I would chose to use the palmtop and reduce battery life versus not using it at all. Then again, maybe this is one reason why our batteries last so long in the 200LX - we aren't using it when*ever* possible - just when ambient lighting is adequate! -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

Lotus can import comma delimted files but you have to have quotes around the strings. A string being anything that contains other than numbers and decimal points and + or - signs. It's been a while since I used Louts so I can't give you the exact keys but it's /file import and somewhere in there you give it the file name and tell it if you want to import text or numbers. I think if you say text it will import everything with each comma seperated item in a different column and if you say numbers it will ignore the strings. As I said it's been a while but that should give you enough of a start to figure it out pretty easily.

I'm fortunate that I have a 20MB flash I'm not so restricted on disk space. My first interest was to get the HP to control ny AOR8000 scanner, I bought Scancat Gold (Ver6.0), which I use to up/download memory channels and remote control the AR8000 scanner, via a homemade RS232-TTY converter (a cut down HP connector one end, a MAX232 chip in the middle, powered from the HP, and a 2.5mm stereo connector into the 8000). Next I got a copy of Hamcomm (Ver 2.2) which worked well, I've recently upgraded to HC3.1 which also seems to be working fine. JVFax Ver5.1 is another recent addition (I tired Ver 7.0 but that kept crashing the system) I don't seem to be having much luck with 5.1, so am looking for an earlier version. Both HC and JVFax were fed via a comparitor type modem but I have recently upgraded to the excellent BayPac Multmode, BP-2M, packet modem. The base Radio I use is a Lowe HF225, although I'm now playing with a Sony SW100 to try and get portable SSB. I've tried PocSag decoding with PD2.03, unfortunatly this hung my machine immediatly so I got in contact with the author, Peter Baston, who sent me an earlier copy of PD (ver1.02), which after an initial problem (Ver 1.02 expects a signal on CTS and not the normal DSR. Requiring a quick solder blob between pins 5 & 6 on one of my older demodulators) all now works and decodes fine. The latest addition was to get on packet (Callsign:G7IDB). I sent of to Tigertronics for a BP2M, the software I use is BayPac1.05. The Tx is from my Icom IC24ET for both 2 & 70 packet operation, which regularly connects to my local DX cluster (GB7DXH) with 5W into a 1/4 wave whip. In summary my set up is: PC HP200LX Radios Icom IC24 SE Lowe HF225 (Sony SW100 on test) Modem BayPac BP2M S/W HamComm 3.1 JVFax 4.1 PocSag 1.02 Baycom 1.05 A whole decoding station in a pencil case! To try and get even smaller I'm just bought the Yaesu VX-1R, but can't get my hands on the tiny 3.5mm 4 pole interface it requires, so I'm sticking with the Icom - for the time being! True QRP decoding 73s and sorry for the bandwidth!

Well, I have a V-Tech 900MHz (mHz would be millihertz, and that's a fun frequency to play with, but not one you'd want to have near your head... Think microwaves) phone, and when I lived in the college dorms, big, concrete and steel structures with high-voltage power lines running right through the parking lot that disruped radios and cell phones, my phone had a good half-mile range (I could still get calls just outside the cafeteria.)

I used to do quite a bit of foxpro coding back then.. (runs to the garage to get his old foxpro manuals out) Yes, there is! SET COLOR OFF will make the display black and white. To also make the display dispense with fancy shading, I think you will have to use a color scheme. SET COLOR TO without attributes sets the color scheme to just black and white. Also, you may try SET COLOR OF (NORMAL/MESSAGES/TITLES/BOX/HIGHLIGHT/INFORMATION/FIELDS) TO W/N will produce a b/w effect and override color schemes in use. Trouble is, in an app, any and all SET COLOR statement overrides whatever you state at the outset when booting foxpro. (One irritating charavteristic - the inability to override settings). So check your apps for any SET statement that loads color schemes, or the CONFIG.FP file for similiar settings.

Backlighting wouldn't help that mode anyway. I think that it would require a different type of display anyway. There are Reflective displays ( like in the HP ) and Transflective ( which lets light shine through it instead of reflecting it). In this case, I am not real sure that a backlight would transmit through the LCD anyhow. If this is true, then even if you could do it, you probably couldn't afford it ! >What about front-lighting?

I think that the 300 was the only one that had any apps on the rom card, the 400 and 500 series had only the bios on the rom card. The 600 series had only hard drives, no rom card at all since they had a flash bios built in. The programs on that card will not run on any other computer than an Omnibook 300 since they are in XIP (execute in place) format on the rom card, they actaully run from the rom without being "loaded" into normal ram memory. This is why the original Omnibook 300 could get by with just 2M of memory, it didn't need memory to run programs, just to hold data. The reason that XIP format won't work on other machines is that support for running programs from rom was part of the bios, which is also located on that card. Pete Peter W.

The interstate system is staying constantly backed-up for about 5 miles so that Troopers can check cars and trunks, even the railroad has been stopped so that boxcars can be searched. The officer that was killed was 29 years old, had only been on the job about six months. His second anniversary with his wife was to be this weekend and his infant child was only two months old.

There are a bunch of these programs and I don't remember the exact name but the one I have used is a combination of a device driver and a com file that let you have multiple boot configurations in your config.sys and autoexec.bat.

I made a program specifically to check for a card in the socket. It's on SUPER, called CHKSLT. Even better, Stefan Peichl's LXCIC program will tell you (via errorlevel, for batch files) not only if there is a card in the socket, but what kind of card it is.

I've been using it (and doing all the development) on my two palmtops - an old 100LX, and a new 8MB dbl-speed 200LX. Works for me. What the heck is a "pos error"? Never seen that one. Do you have HP-Pygmy.com and all the .scr files in the same directory? If you do, use VIEW to look at words - ie VIEW .FILES or VIEW * You can also use V as a shortcut for VIEW. To edit a block do Ýblock #¨ EDIT ie 2000 EDIT. Use ÝESC¨ to leave the editor.

Why I don't know. Like I said, I've never seen this error message. One possibility is that you don't have enough available files set up in config.sys - You should have a line reading files=3D20 (or a higher number). Other than that I dunno. Tried grabbing it from SUPER to check if I left out any necessary files, but it's all there. Unzipped it and ran it from its own directory (separate from my working copy) and it worked fine.

I use cursor.com ( from super, I think...) that makes the cursor visible at all times. I also use the "mono8025" and "mode mono" commands to get the screen colors right. If you do any dos calls you may need to use a "!mono8025" command from within Foxpro. I haven't encountered too many prepackaged apps but if you have source you can play with any defined color schemes. I leave it on the default colors and it looks great. It's nice to see other LX'ers using Foxpro. I find it very useful. I've written a portfolio management and stock charting program, a time billing system and a compressed document management system (ala Zipray) in Foxpro. It's all kludge code that I fix on the fly but it works for me. I just never had the time to learn C and Xbase is soooo much easier. Later. -----Original Message----- From: Paal Rasmussen Ýmailto:paal@AH.TELIA.NO¨ Sent: Monday, June 29, 1998 4:11 PM To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu Subject: ÝHPLX-L¨ SV:foxpro colors and the 200LX Istn't there a .SET COLOR OFF or something? I used to do quite a bit of foxpro coding back then.. (runs to the garage to get his old foxpro manuals out) Yes, there is! SET COLOR OFF will make the display black and white. To also make the display dispense with fancy shading, I think you will have to use a color scheme. SET COLOR TO without attributes sets the color scheme to just black and white. Also, you may try SET COLOR OF (NORMAL/MESSAGES/TITLES/BOX/HIGHLIGHT/INFORMATION/FIELDS) TO W/N will produce a b/w effect and override color schemes in use. Trouble is, in an app, any and all SET COLOR statement overrides whatever you state at the outset when booting foxpro. (One irritating charavteristic - the inability to override settings). So check your apps for any SET statement that loads color schemes, or the CONFIG.FP file for similiar settings. If your cursor dissapears, try turning it back on with the SYS(2002,1) command. ---------- > Fra: Frank McConnell > Til: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU > Emne: Re: Antw: Re: Framework V and the 200LX > Dato: 29. juni 1998 19:08 > > Ed Padin wrote: > > I use Foxpro 2.0 and find it to be pretty useful on a 2x speed with 40MB > > flash card.

Thanks, Longden. This is about the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. Wow! If we're lucky we can even get a 2MB unit for the low, low price of $649.95! Or, in a direct quote: Expansion cards for the popular HP 200LX palmtop at an incredible price, available in 5 MB ( $549.95) and 10 MB ($799.95). Or we can order some products for the "Hewlett Packard 95LX Calculator." I wonder if this guy is sitting at home, wondering why nobody is calling up and ordering from him. "Dang! I went to all the trouble of posting ads in the newsgroups, and nobody ordered! I spent that $59.95 for CyberPromos to send my mails out to 500,000 people, and still no response! I wonder why-- 400% isn't that big of a markup.

It _does_ sound like you're describing the Connectivity Pack, but it definitely isn't available on SUPER. The link on SUPER is to Transfile 200, a Windows-based file transfer program. It is nice in that it is VERY easy to use, but it is a little slow (limited to 56Kbaud). The best part is that it is free. Cheers. J. P.

You can try using ADBIO from the SUPER site to dump and then reload the appt database. It'll probably crash the dump program, but there's always a chance that it's more robust than the built-in database and can recover or skip the bad record. Then reload the dumped file back into a new appt database. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 30 Jun 1998 14:58:55 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Richard A.

I have had my 200LX on it but did not use it while onboard. It is quite an interesting attraction to see. While there you can also visit the U.S.S. Drum which was a submarine from the same time frame. The submarine I believe you are speaking of was from the movie 'Crimson Tide'. My favorite line in the movie was when the sailors were lined up on the dock getting ready to board the ship, the captain was giving a speach and at the end thay all in unison shout "Roll Tide!" Being a University of Alabama fa, that did my heart good . On the subject of the cop killer we have loose here in central Alabama, he's still not caught, but there are now approx 750 law enforcement agents working in the area. He's either hiding in a damn good location or he is sitting somewhere in Georgia watching all of this on television. The officers here, including myself, are determined to keep searching until he's caught, all leads exhausted or the SOB dies of heat exhaustion out in the woods .

There was a brief period when Hewlett Packard was offering an upgrade on local (USA) 100LXs, just before the introduction of the 200LX, I think. It was a strictly limited offer and, for some reason, not open to foreign owners, even if you sent your unit return postage prepaid. So at least a certain number of machines were capable of being upgraded. Then there was an article in the Palmtop Paper about an unofficial upgrade being performed in Japan. I wrote to the Paper seeking details but got no reply. My 100LX is marked SG33301086, and I never found out whether a memory upgrade would be possible but I might even yet consider it. I hope this helps to stir some memories. Although I now also have a 8Mb double-speed 200LX, the recent acquisition of a 48Mb flashcard which can be used in the 100LX has made me rethink about my 100LX as the primary unit and the 200LX as the backup and to be saved for that rainy day. I do also find the two units very useful when operated conjunction, particularly when upgrading/correcting spreadsheets because the original data can be maintained and displayed simultaneously on one screen while the changes are made on the other. Then there is no confusion as to what was changed, nor do I have to remember or write down the original data; and if a mistake is found a bit later, the original data are there on the other machine. I actually prefer the 100LX. Admittedly the different shade of the screen display is a personal preference for me, but did you know that in the database-type functions there is on the 200LX one line less in both the horizontal and vertical display? For those of you with both machines, try the Phone Book and see for yourself. The keyboard is clearer on the 100LX because of the greater contrast between the background colour and the keys and also because the letters themselves are bolder, broader and upright. Not only that, on my 100LX the lettering for things like "ZOOM" and "HOME" is bigger and in a more contrasting colour, while there are some 18 additional printing symbols for items such as accents, sterling and degrees (which I use a lot). Sometimes when using my 200LX I have to open up my 100LX to find out just where these extra symbols are on the keyboard. So, as Timothy Raymond did, dust off your old 100LX and think about putting it to good use. Also, there are potential users down in this part of the world still looking for a good 100LX deal, the two problems to be overcome being the current low value of our dollar and the extra shipping cost, though mailing by sea would cut the latter for those prepared to wait.

Feinman" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Roger B. Feinman" Subject: Joining the list and discussing the news Hi to all! I used to be part of the palmtop forum on Compuserve, but fell on hard times for awhile. Lost my HP-100LX, recently bought a new HP 200LX and the upgraded connectivity pack. What a joy to be palmtopping again! It's very gratifying to know that Lotus Agenda, my favorite PIM, is now copyrighted freeware, available to all HP palmtop owners. I'm wondering if you also know that INMAGIC PLUS for DOS, one of the leading textbase software packages of the mid- to late-1980s, is also available on the Web as copyrighted freeware. This package, which used to cost $1250 (that's correct, there is no decimal point in there), runs just fine on the palmtop, and is useful for all kinds of databasing A couple of items on MSNBC during the last several days caught my attention: The first, an article entitled "But will you curl up in bed with it?" by Angela Hickman, details new hand-held electronic books being brought to market by NuvoMedia and SoftBook Press. Will somebody please tell NBC about Vertical Reader and Project Gutenberg? Where have these guys been? The second item was entitled "DOS is alive and well . . ." by Gary Krakow. It seems that Brother has decided to bring out a mini-notebook running under GEOS (remember this?) I mean, can you imagine anyone having the gall to bring out a product that doesn't bow to Microsoft? I think we should applaud this development. Finally, Caselogic has a very nice padded vinyl case for PDAs for under $20 that fits the HP 200LX like a glove and doesn't look too shabby after several months wear. Thanks to Mitch Hamm and the developers who are keeping this platform alive, and three cheers to Curtis Cameron for a nifty game of blackjack. -roger- _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
