It is called a Stretch-Fit Kensington Palmtop Wetsuit. It's made from a soft, form-fitting neoprene material and doesn't increase the size of the 200LX so it's still very easy to fit into a pocket. It attaches to the bottom of the palmtop with velcro pads and closes with a zipper. It also has an exterior zippered pocket which is perfect for carrying a pen, paper, business cards, and a PCMCIA card.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Hi All (again), Thanks Kazuto Kitakubo for responding so quickly to my comments on the possibility of upgrading the 100LX. You mention the Terra Network System at as being able to upgrade memory, but not for the 100LX. I tried this site and although most of the display was incomprehensible to me (it said for Japanese only), it certainly appeared to discuss only the 200LX (which is the limit of my Japanese!). However, in the same message of 1 July you also go on to say:- < They don't support 100LX upgrade but I did 16Mb upgrade myself for < old 1Mb 100LX. It works fine! (modification is VERY difficult). Naturally that has whetted my appetite and as it was broadcast to the List there could be, I imagine, quite a few other 100LX users anxious to know more. Your e-mail address would tend to confirm that you are an expert in the field and if you say it is VERY (your capitalisation) difficult to upgrade, then what chance would most of us have? To come to the point, what would it take for a 100LX lover like you to upgrade the unit of another 100LX lover in a foreign land? A free trip to an exotic location, perhaps, or possibly after all that I said previously about it, even a swap for a 200LX? Maybe, should you wish to reply, you should use my personal e-mail address while the rest of the Palmtop world is still asleep!

You can save a few keystrokes if you use POST/LX by changing the data file to clipview.txt. Just load Yves's macros, go the the Fn-F3 Macro "Executes Lotus Macro" and change "/fitcurr.txt" to "/fitclipvue.txt". Then when you get your message from Xenon, just hit COPY (Fn=3D) and the message is automatically saved to C:\_dat\clipvue.txt (no need to type Shift F10....). Then update your conversion factors using Alt-F2 as before. FYI: Programs available on S.U.P.E.R. Yves' macro: CURR120.ZIP ClipVue: CLIPVU.ZIP (you don't actually need this for the above tip) - ClipVue is a tiny EXM utility that allows loading and saving the 100/200LX clipboard to a file. DOS programs that normally don't have clipboard access can with this utility.

Difficulties are, a) To get the TNS memory board outside Japan TNS doesn't accept foreign order. I'm sorry but I can't help you at this matter. b) Soldering skill and tools I think your 100LX (SG333) has no memory connector on the mother board, so you have to solder about 40 of wires! Even later version of 100LX needs some wires. And some special tools requires, microscope, thin solder iron... c) Support I can't support when problem occured. (time and english skill) After all, I can't recommend upgrade. Are you still want to try? Ignacio Garc $ByB (B P $BqS (Bez wrote: >Can you please develop further on this upgrade ?

Since I had to do this when I didn't know about or didn't have time to play with boot managers, I've been using another technique that's fairly easy: 1. Create a special directory for your various config and autoexec files 2. Put all versions of the files there with distinctive extensions, eg config.bay, autoexec.bay, config.ful, autoexec.ful. 3. Write batch files to copy the appropriate files as you need them. For example, Bay.bat could copy config.bay to c:\config.sys and autoexec.bay to c:\autoexec.bat. If you find you need a third (or tenth!) set of files, you need only set up the new config/autoexec, and then copy and edit a batch file. I generally add comments reminding me to reboot. In some cases, I also add a comment line reminding me what the file does, and a pause so I can Ctrl-C out of it if I've picked the wrong one .

Below are some files on Simtel (www.shareware.com, DOS) that may help. I haven't tested them on the LX. If the changes are only in the autoexec.bat, you may not need a reboot at all. If you put a MARK statement in your autoexec, you can later do a RELEASE from the DOS prompt and remove any TSRs (and System Manager??) that were loaded after MARK. tsrcom35.zip 79K 96/06/21 TSR memory managmt utils MARK/RELEASE/MAPMEM) tsrwrk32.zip 75K 90/06/05 Mark/Release TSR management pgms, with ASM src The below manage multi-booting.

At least the little bit that I've read about it on the AMD and QNX site. AMD calls it the \(mu)forCE machine. It's intended as a prototyping system and it apparently can run either winCE or QNX (I know which I'd pick :-). http://www.qnx.com has some info on their development system that can run on it. The hardware is reasonably priced, but I don't know if it can actually be packaged into a palmtop form factor. I believe I've seen a picture of it packaged as such but I can't find it now. Searching for "forCE" on the AMD site will turn up 5 links about it. One will be the hardware programming manual. - paul -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 1 Jul 1998 17:20:23 EST Reply-To: tcbordp@vbbusnw1.tc.cc.va.us Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Peter W.

Fortunately, I have one(Volks 520 VM modem) that survived my ATARI 1040ST days. It worked great on my old 6MB HP200LX, even in hotels and other places with digital phone systems when I used telephone connecting cables that only have 2 connectores wired into the RJ11 plug. However, when I got an 8MB doublespeed 200LX, the program runs but the modem will not communicate and it is "timed out" or gives me a "noisy data line" error. I tried it yesterday with both palmtops side by side, on the same settings in Filer-Communications-Remote, and it did NOT work on the 2X machine, but went smooth as silk on the 1X machine. I tried setting the 2X machine on 2400, 4800, 9600 Baud, and it still would not work. What is going on???? (Both machines are running "plain vanilla" configurations except for the 2X speed, and after downloading, the info is stored in the "A" (B) drive, which is the same 40MB Pretec flash ATA that I move from one computer to the other.)

I tried downloading my mail (5 on server), and I get 10K into the HP Digest, and I get an "Error writing file". I also have space free (5 meg on "A"), and plenty on "C". I've gone online (via shell) to delete the Digest and try again. FYI - I'm using Post 2.1. It's not a problem with the card - chkdsk, check (Stacker 4) all show the disk as being fine.

It would give me the standard "abort, retry, fail" prompt if a flash card was not present and hang until you responded the next morning when you turned it on. One of the undocumented DOS command.com switches discussed on this list a few days ago solved my problem. In your alarm file used to backup the drive add the following line: command.com /f /c backupc.bat where "backupc.bat" is the batch file with your backup instructions. "command.com /f" loads a second command processor which will automatically bypass a failure of a flash card not being present. The /c switch tells the new command processor to run the batch file and terminate the new processor when completed. It works great for me and I had to add no new software to my system or add any tricky error detection routines to my batch file.

An alternate way of doing this, which I use all the time with no problems, is to use von buerg's list.com in the same way you use more. mem /c | list /s The /s tells list to take data from standard input. It also lets you scroll back if you want to. However, I've used more plenty of times with no problem. So I wonder if this was just some other problem waiting to happen.

After all the 200LX is > pretty much an XT. The problem isn't with Qbasic. The serial port can't keep up with 9600 baud when being polled. An interrupt driven routine is needed above about 1200 baud. An alternate solution if you want to use Qbasic is to download an interrupt driven com port driver, install it in config.sys and then open it the way you're opening com1. Most of them that I've seen use the device name "asynch". I can't tell you where to find one exactly but they used to be all over the place. Simtelnet would be a good place to look. I doubt if you'll have much trouble finding one.

Wuz i counting rong? They are 50 cents each. There was a post from someone on HPHAND on CIS a few years ago about the Fuji batteries, which Walgreens sells under their own name. As I remember it this person's company was in the batttery business and was always testing it's competitor's batteries and Fuji batteries always outlasted anything else they tested. I've been using them ever since on a number of devices. I haven't really tested to see if they last longer, but they do last and they're reliable and they're cheap. That's a nice combination. I also use Fuji tapes to record books on tape that I rent so I can listen to them at my convenience and don't have to rush through them. I have about a hundred of these tapes that I bought about 8 or 9 years ago and I've used them over and over, constantly re-recording. In all that time 2 have gone bad.. I suspect Fuji just makes good stuff. The tapes are very cheap also.

I recently bought a used Dell with the master password set and I called them to get it cleared and to ask a few questions. They answered all my questions and were very helpful. They also (with my permission) called the previous owner to verify that the machine wasn't stolen. It was! Well, at least I got my money back. :) But, even though that cost me a good deal on a laptop, they did exactly what they should do. I have a real good feeling about their support.

I haven't done this. One of my cards came with stacker and I used it for a while to try it out. I got tired of giving up the memory for the driver so I took it off.

The editor of PTP, Hal Goldstein, has posted in HPHAND in CompuServe that he was in negociations with HarperCollins to bought the remaining stock. Unfortunately HarperCollins thought I made a mistake ordering the MS-DOS version and sent me the Windows one. Bill is everywhere . They were most helpfull and accepted the return of the Windows version and the DOS version is already in its way. Nevertheless I decided to keep the Windows version to give to a goddaughter who is learning English translation techniques and tried it before I gave it to her. If the DOS version has the same functionalities this is one very, very good piece of software for our 200LX palmtops. Anyone with flash cards below 15MB would better be thinking of boughting a larger one.

Apparently they have attempted to make it spam resistant and in doing so made GP and LXTCP's LXPOP fail at sending mail. Watching the headers indicated that HELO was failing because of no domain given. Steve, within a day, emailed me GP 2.17 with an option to skip sending the HELO line which fixed the problem! And Steve knows I haven't been able to pay my dues yet, so expect good support paid up or not.. :) Also, Rod reminded me of the domainslist line in wattcp.cfg which fixed LXTCP as well.

Yep, that looks great! I find I can get the cursor back by running "!mono8025" again from the FoxPro command window. Well, almost great, I'd like to swap the "colors" for enabled and disabled system menu items so the enabled ones are darker than the disabled ones. Maybe I will have to play with the color sets after all. When I saw that in the manuals my first thought was to wonder where they hid the handy set of defaults for laptop LCD users. (OK, so I am a lazy cuss.) Fortunately I seem to have found PROCOLOR.APP which will let me dink with the colors and give me almost-immediate feedback.

You seem to tell WWW/LX that you use an OmniGo 700LX with a datacard. Are you? The Error writing file happened to me and several others here. It seems to be some malformed message. And a seaprate, third item: Some of you recall that about mid-May we discovered a bug in WWW/LX Plus. It would revert to non-registered status on July 1. Well, on May 22, 1998 I sent an email to all licensed WWW/LX customers on record as of that day, and in it there was a fix. Amazingly, there were some people that got hit by that. And their names _were_ on the list, so I assume they got the email, since others did not experience it. If anyone has that problem, just write support@dasoft.com, and I'll re-send to you the fix.

On May 22, 1998 I sent a message to ALL WWW/LX Plus Version 2 customers about a bug in the product. This has NOTHING to do with the Write Error - please don't start making people crazy by relating things that are not. If anyone sees "Unregistered" message from a WWW/LX Plus Version 2 which they DID register, please send email to support@dasoft.com. You have received an email about it almost a month and a half ago, but I'll be glad to send it again. AGAIN: This problem and the ERROR WRITING TO DISK have nothing to do with each other. The Error writing to disk is likely to be a malformatted message. It happens in at least two versions of Post/LX, and has nothing to do with old July 1 bug we discussed here in mid-May! Avi M.

The suspect also planted in excess of 15 pipe bombs near & around the bank. The suspect escaped and now we have yet another manhunt on our hands. The first manhunt is taking place in the county just east of where I work and the second is taking place in the county just west of where I work. My department is supply bomb technicians to help disable the pipe bombs (we have the most extensive bomb dept in the state, robots and all the other stuff that you see on TV) and the ATF has been called in to aid with them. This holiday weekend is gonna really suck for those of us in the law enforcement business. OK, here's my LX question. I finally decided on a utility from Simtel which will aid me in choosing between autoexec.bat files so that I can quickly boot with an alternate autoexec.bat file that doesn't install any tsr programs in order to run Bay Com without any conflicts. To run the autoexec.bat file swapping program I need to enter the following info at the c: prompt: reset bc I would like to set up two icons in System Manager, one to reboot the LX without any tsr's and to load the Bay Com program and then one which would reboot the LX and load all my nifty tsr's such as Buddy, cic, click, etc.. When I go to set-up the app, how exactly do I specify reset.exe and the required bc parameter in the application set-up screen? When I try to put just the following line: c:\boot\reset.exe bc or c:\boot\reset bc I get a nasty message which basically tells me that I have specified an invalid file name. How can I pass along the much needed bc parameter in this command line?

This is what I know, if you can provide any further information it will be greatly appreciated: 1- TNG upgrade uses four 64Mbit DRAM which are: - 4Mx16 - Low power self-refresh - 4K refresh, this is A11-A0 for row, A9-A0 for column - FPM/EDO 2- The Hornet IC has four RAS lines, and only supports DRAM configurations with equal number or row and column address bits. So, the TNG DRAMs are not directly usable in the HP200LX. What they surely do in the 32MB upgrade is using the four RAS lines to encode a row/column address suitable for the Hornet DRAM controller. This is why the upgrade has a couple of standard logic chips. In the case of the TNG 8MB upgrade, I guess that the four RAS lines are now used to encode the A11 and A10 row address bits. The mainboard DRAM must also be removed and the 8MB chip (4MBx16) appears as four 2MB chips (1Mx16) connected to each RAS line. 3- The Times2Tech 32MB upgrade uses four 64Mbit DRAM which are: - 16Mx4 - Low power self-refresh - 4K refresh, this is A11-A0 for row, A11-A0 for column - FPM/EDO As the row/column address bits are equal, this DRAm type is directly attachable to the Hornet DRAM controller, just need to group four of them to form the 16 bit datapath width required. Also, this DRAM package (TSOP II) is easier to route, because the pin spacing is 1.27mm and thus you can route tracks in between. Advantage: only one RAS line is used. No need to remove the mainboard DRAM (which is added to the total amount of memory 2+32). Disadvantage: the BIOS doesn't seem to support 32MB per RAS line. A driver must be written (which Mack did, and seems to be a good work since it's been reported to work much faster that the BIOS built-in driver). This is the kind of upgrade I designed. The PCB is ready, but couldn't get the DRAMs. I work in the electronics arena, and have good realtions with many manufacturer representatives here in Spain, but none of them could supply these chips.=20 So, this project is in stand-by. An alternate project is a 16MB upgrade, using two 64Mbit DRAMs (8Mx8, Row=3DA11-A0, Col=3DA10-A0). A single standard logic chip is required in ord= er to encode the A11 row address bit from two RAS lines, and thus make this upgrade appear as two 8MBx16 DRAMs connected to two RAS lines. I'm actually waiting for the chips I requested as samples, but even in case they're not supplied, I can always get them from a standard notebook memory module (they're very common, as opposed to the 16Mx4 chips). The 8Mx8 chips are TSOP II too. I've simply discarded building a TNG-like upgrade because the TSOP-I package makes PCB routing and prototyping too complex. Regards.

I am not sure if POST causes the hang, but here is how I fix the problem: Go into the setup ( External) and select Mail (F4 I think ). Select your mail folder and edit it. Press enter after the first screen shows up without changing anything. Then change the max message size to 1000. This will cause you to temporarily get only headers when you download your email. Then press F10 and accept the change you just made. Go online and after the run, DO Not select the problem email to download on yoyr next run. Which one is the problem email? With my setup, it was always the last email POST tried to d/l before I changed the max message size. Go online again and the emails you did not select will be deleted from the server (assuming you have that option selected). Then change your max message size back to your standard value.

I have been really perplexed over the years, as ye olde FORTRAN lost favour, what has become of the numerous scientific/engineering plotting packages that almost every computer installation had? They were variously called PLOT or PLOTS, and had a huge variety of useful plotting functions. They were device independent, plotted in real world units (inches or cm), and were really helpful. When I first started work at my company in the mid-eighties, we were using PCs, and I had our computer guru track down a PC version of this library called PLOT88. Still around, but only supports FORTRAN in a native manner. Why haven't the C and C++ folks gotten on the bandwagon and come forward with a similar product? There have been a few times when I almost bit the bullet and started writing one on my own, until common sense prevailed. There are a number of plotting packages being sold these days, but they are invariably interactive GUI type (not bashing here - there is a legitimate place for interactive plotting work). Your BASIC routines sound indeed similar to what I'm speaking of. Were AXIS functions available? How about 3-D surface and contour plots? These 3-D funtions were only available in the high-end products of days past. -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

I bought a set of 1000mah batteries at a ham radio show 2 years ago, and they're still working perfectly. I measured the run time months ago, and it was (I think) greater than 10 hours, though I'm not sure. Now, I have the Times2x crystal, (which uses extra current), and I frequently have the machine plugged into AC at my desk, so I no longer track the battery time, which is still very long and quite satisfactory. In fact, on a recent flight to Europe, I ran the HP for hours writing a scientific paper in the "memo" ap. Several observations: NiMH cells are more subject to damage than NiCads, and (at least these) can't be fast charged. You can use the built in charger, where the rate is fine, but the timed cutoff @ about 6 hrs may not fully charge the battery, though you can experiment and certainly restart the charge cycle by simply plugging in the HP. You can also not wait till the batteries are really low. Or, you can of course charge them externally, but I find it not worth the bother. I made myself 2 AC power supply units, and I keep 1 at home, and the other in my office, so 1 can charge whenever I need to. Another option is the battery charge program ABC/LX, which is nice to have, and will automate the process. I downloaded the demo, but never bothered to buy the full version once the demo ran out of time. Remember, if you're using the HP charge facility, to shut off (uncheck the box) battery charging if you are continuing to use an AC source, and the batteries are already fully charged. Other tips-once charged, you can monitor the battery charge state by switching back to the alkaline cell option, which gives you the thermometer graph. But, while after a full charge, you'll see the bar go fully to the right, it'll come back to about 2/3 quite soon, since these cells run at about 1.2 volts each, not 1.5 as alkalines do. They will spend most of their discharge cycle at about 1/2 scale. Be careful when they drop much below that: they have a fairly flat discharge curve, so the end voltage drops fast, and you can run out of power without too much warning. (If you're away from power and need the palmtop, either keep another pair charged and ready, or it's always good practice to keep a pair of alkalines handy-though I've needed them only once in 1.5 years. So, buy a good set. You'll be happy with them. Hope this helps.

If it was only recieving that would mean the detector was only working and you wouldn't see anything. I would recheck it maybe with a differant tool. 200ma is too much. Use a Viking or Simple modem if you want a fast modem otherwise you can get a 14.4 modem for about 25 dollars. The 200LX works great for PPP but it does have its limits and the 150ma pcmcia port is one of those limits. But even thats flexible. HP told me 180 is about the upper limit.

The 200LX only charges at 100mA which is only a trickle charge for these batteries. I would check the discharge rating of the batteries. It should be at least 2C preferably 3C or 4C. (I'm still looking for a set that will discharge at 4C). The only thing with ABC is its limited to 16 hours so after 16 hours you have to unplug then replug in the ac. Shouldn't do it with Nicads but nimh will handle it just fine.

I have found the higher the C rating the longer the batteries last when I use a modem. I used a set of Nicads that were rated 850mAh 1C with a modem that used 140mA and I got about 15 minutes- it was like the batteries shorted. Used 2C 800mAh got about an hour. I think my NiMH are 1C 1300mAH and I get about 45 min to an hour with a modem rated at 144mA. About comparible to the 2C Nicads. (because of this I'm thinking of switching back to Nicads) It doesn't seem to matter when I don't use a modem. (I use a modem a lot, though, so thats what I base most of my judgements on.) Then the capacity seems to matter the most. (I might be going into overkill with the 4C rating you're right the HP doesn't use all that much current:-).) Remember the mAh rating is based on the discharge pattern. Just my personal experience not scientific at all.

On a side note, I stole that idea, and put a piece of polished stainless (that is very thin & no sharp edges) in my palmtop cases to guard the screen side. richard bueker David Becher wrote: > > The "Case Logic" case referred to in the last couple of days on this list is > actually a walkman case... > It is a nylon case - NOT > WATERPROOF and if you wash it the foam padding disintegrates... -------------------------------------------- ***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, 5 Jul 1998 06:47:54 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "R.

I recently copied my turbo assembler on to the palmtop, and noticed that the debugger won't run. I get an error message saying that I need at least a 286 to load the "stubs". Can't find any mention of this limitation anywhere in the manuals. In fact, it makes it pretty clear that I should be able to use tasm on almost any class of machine. Perhaps that only goes for tasm itself, and not the debugger. Anyone else knows what's going on? -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

We have been working on this in the WWW/LX Plus Beta, and the conclusion is that maybe, maybe, remotely, possibly it could have been the message that was killing Post/LX, but it was a tenuous. We sort of "wanted" it to be that, because maybe that would provide an answer to this mystery. What you provided is good info, although it destroyed that sort-of-maybe reasonable structure we constructed to sort of explain it with Post/LX! So shame on you again, hey we spent a lot of time of speculation :-) ... Truthfully, it helps in that it provides a more correct direction to look for the problem. Andreas has actually concocted a version of Post/LX that would be resistant to this stuff! What amazes me is that the error is the same! > This was the first time ever that I had to wipe the memory on my HPLX. = The > only other time was when I upgraded from 1 meg to 5 meg SRAM.

Subject: LXBatch error. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit I am getting an error from LXBatch using LXPGP occationally, and it seems that the more I add to LXPGP the more often it happens, hopefully there is a way to fix it! It exits LXB with "Fatal error: PalMemFull: Out of memory!" on the DOS shell. I know it's not conventional memory, as I'm starding with 520k, and it only happens using LXB functions, not such as executing PGP or such that does take a bit of ram. Is it a case of me not allocating ram I should be, or what? I'm using all LXB variables (one environmental for PGPPath) and LXPGP is less than 14k. It seems to happen occationally when using a Text box (title, text...), but now if I enter my configuration then exit and go to another function it bombs every time. However, if I place ForgetConfig in front of my ReadConfigs it doesn't happen so predictably.

Last night he kidnapped a man within the boundaries where we had him pinned down in Moody, AL. He forced this man to drive him to Mobile, AL and then across the State border into Mississippi. He stopped at a rest stop and the kidnapped man fled in his car, Cintobe, then carjacked another car and driver, but within half an hour the were stopped by deputies from ths particular county in southern Mississippi without incident :) Had it not been for some violent weather last night here in the area, he probably would have been caught here last night or today.

We sort of "wanted" it to be that, because maybe that would provide an answer to this mystery. What you provided is good info, although it destroyed that sort-of-maybe reasonable structure we constructed to sort of explain it with Post/LX! So shame on you again, hey we spent a lot of time of speculation :-) ... Truthfully, it helps in that it provides a more correct direction to look for the problem. Andreas has actually concocted a version of Post/LX that would be resistant to this stuff! What amazes me is that the error is the same! > This was the first time ever that I had to wipe the memory on my HPLX. The > only other time was when I upgraded from 1 meg to 5 meg SRAM. Very odd!

Going through a digipeater and then connecting to the Nation Weather Service here in Birmingham (our club has a station there) I telneted to my ISP, checked my mail, sent some mail then downloaded a file from the internet. Of course the downloading was slow, considering it was a 1200 baud connection to the digipeater and then with all the acknowledgement packets that had to be sent it took about 30 minutes to download a file that would normally would have taken about 45 seconds with a dialup connection to my ISP. The cool thing was that I did this while sitting on my front porch with my 200LX, Bay Pac modem, FT50 and a antenna made from 5 coat hangers and a 239 connector. How's that for the ultimate in wireless communications? I think we LX packeteers need to commision someone to write us a exm packet program. Bay Comm is nice, but a Sys Manager program would be so slick to look at and use. I'm conviced that I gotta learn code now....

I also tried to practice _every_ day, even if it was only for 15 minutes. I set the speed just fast enough that I couldn't copy 100%, and quit the _instant_ that I became frustrated. Sometimes it took an hour, sometimes only a few minutes, but I found that I lost ground if I pushed myself past frustration. I stopped studying when I got my advanced, but, if I decide to try for my extra, I'm going to study code words, not letters, where "and", "the", "or", and other common words are concerned. I've heard - from guys who could copy 50+ wpm - that that's what it takes to get past 20 wpm. Glad you got another bad guy off the streets; now, if the courts _keep_ him off... They've had a manhunt going since the first part of June in SW Colorado/SE Utah for some guys who killed a city cop. There's still at least one of them on the loose.

I use the 28800 external modem at the serial port as COM1 and get a throughput as expected: To download this mailing list as a 50KB digest it takes about 20 seconds, which is a net rate of about 25000 baud. Using the 14400 baud modem, you would expect about 40 seconds for the same amount of data. However it takes 4 minutes to download a 50KB digest via 14400 PCMCIA at COM2. This is a net rate of about 2000 baud and only 1/7 of what it should be. First I thought, maybe I had a bad connection or a crowded net when I was connected with the PCMCIA modem, but it turned out to be independent: I never get the expected throughput with the PCMCIA modem, but always with the external modem. Did anybody make similar observations, and did anybody check, if the PCMCIA throughput is how it should be? You may wonder why I put that question, because I am the author of LXCIC (the modem card enabler) and should know how it works. However I only put the modem into I/O mode and set up an I/O window (size=3D8 bytes) at COM2. I cannot use a bigger window, because of hardware restrictions. I remember there has been a discussion about up to which baud rate the palmtop can handle. But I guess this only applies to COM2, and not to COM1. I use Eric Meyer's ZIP at 115000 baud every day and always get a transfer rate of 11KB per second at COM1. It seems to take some time until a byte finds its way through a PCMCIA modem into the palmtops memory, compared to the way through the serial port, or is the MEGAHERTZ the problem? -------------------------------------------- ***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, 6 Jul 1998 06:43:53 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: RS Infrared Sensor, useless?

Is this on battery power? Keep in mind that battery strength directly affects the PCMCIA cards you can use. High-drain cards don't do well with low batteries. I would think that it should work if you put in a fresh pair of NiMH or NiCd batteries, or ran it off of the AC adapter. (Alkaline batteries would probably work too, but the voltage drop under load is a lot higher for them, so it's hard to say for sure.) Personally, my measurements show that the Simple Tech 33.6 Communicator takes up 125ma active, and works quite well. I'd recommend that over an AT&T modem... -- 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, 6 Jul 1998 11:01:14 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Dan Carrington Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Dan Carrington Subject: Re: American Heritage Dictionary Comments: To: rricter@juno.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I called the guy up and he says he has 24 coppies on CDROM.

Also, you can create macros that will load any database within the appropriate program. Also, you can create batch files that enter keystrokes that will load any database into it's program. Also, you can use Buddy and within each program hit F9 and see a list of openable files along the function key menu.

The program is not intended to only have one file, just to automatically open it's appropirate file extension type. If you changed a file called phone.pdb to phone.gdb it would open within the database program as opposed to the phone book.

On Wednesday, 1 July, you listed three difficulties in achieving this:- < a) To get the TNS memory board outside Japan TNS doesn't accept foreign order. < b) Soldering skills and tools I think your 100LX (SG333) has no memory connector on the mother board, so you have to solder about 40 wires! Even later version of 100LX needs some wires. And some special tools requires, microscope, thin solder iron... < c) Support I can't support when problem occurs. (time and English skill) You then added that you can't recommend the upgrade, but concluded by asking if I still wanted to try. In other replies on this subject you indicated that you had no commercial interest in carrying out such an upgrade. I am trying to draw all threads of this matter together once and for all for the benefit of 100LX owners generally as there are obviously still many of us left and there is still interest in memory upgrading. Possibly the first difficulty (a) could be got round if it is a just a question of foreign currency; and it would not be a problem for USA users. For those of us without facilities and/or skills, the second difficulty (b) comes down to finding a reliable helper...no doubt some users will have a friend or contact who might help out on a once off basis (it is frustrating to think that I have made extensive use of and have easy access to both light and scanning electron microscopes but have done only crude soldering jobs!). There may be a commercial alternative if the work required is not extensive and the cost not prohibitive, as I have found on a previous upgrade situation. The third difficulty (c) is probably the most critical, for unless there are detailed instructions with the TNS memory board in the first place, there would be very few users with the necessary knowledge to proceed with problem (b). If you (Kazuto) are not interested, do you know of anyone else who is? Hewlett Packard seems to have long since lost interest. Mack Baggette is presumably not interested (?). There was, however, a response to this problem from a certain Spanish user... Are there any other enterprising users? Presumably if this message generates no positive response we can conclude that the matter of upgrading the memory of the 100LX is dead, except of course in the case of some existing user wanting to sell off an already upgraded unit.

Does this cable have # -something to do with the infrared port, perhaps? # --Chris Lott Want to make a correction here. The bead does indeed stop RF interference, but not from background noise. It is intended to prevent the HP200 from interfering with any adjacent electronic devices. It may (doubtful) prevent other devices from interfering with the 200LX, but that is not the primary intent. In fact, in this application, since the ferrite tends to filter out high frequencies, (ie >1MHz ) it will actually tend to round off the square wave data signals passing between the 200LX and the connected device, causing the max speed the two devices can use to be degraded. This is something that makes for a lot of hair pulling and gnashing of teeth. When trying to tame EMI/RFI, there are always price-performance compromises to be made.

The Basic LX is a 2400bps data/9600 fax modem. It has the MiniFax software built into the ROM of the modem card so the software doesn't take up any space on the C: drive. The ThinFax software, in my opinion, is the slickest fax software for the palmtop. It looks and behaves just like the software that comes in ROM on the LX. In the past I tried some of the other available fax software and it either didn't work for me or left a lot to be desired. The 2400bps data rate of the modem is slow, but for pure email use or for a text based shell type session the speed is acceptable. The benefit of the slow speed is the longevity of battery life. I would like to trade this modem for a 14.4 modem or would consider some other type of trade or cash offer.

Thats because when you use the on button you are turning it off and on in the software. Oviously the unit can't handle the sudden drop in current when you insert the modem and you're locking up the software. When you do the ctrl-shift-on you do a complete hardware and software reset. Because the modem is already inserted you don't have any sudden drops. You need that stuff anyway if you're going to use a modem. Otherwise you'll be buying alkalines every couple days.

The 'innovations' catalogue here (like Brookstones in the US?) has the 'Ultra' battery manager. It mentions that it uses 'pulse charge technology', so I guess it does just that to avoid exploding batteries. But will it work ? If you could recharge standard alkaline or ZnCl batteries that would be cheap.

I am about to invest in a flash ram card and modem. I have the 32mb upgrade, and need the PCMCIA card to back up the memory. This means at least a 32mb card. I am thinking Compact Flash and an adapter, because I can then use the card later in CF hardware as well. I am also going to buy a modem. I am looking for a 56kbps, global, less than 150mA current draw fax/voice modem. I am still in the process of finding out is this exists. The closest so far is a Pace Technologies modem, but it drew 180mA. It works in the palmtop, but when online for a while and downloading large amounts, it is a balancing trick to get the screen to display anything. This is so that I can get the one modem for my palmtop and laptop. With the modem, if what I want above does not exist, I would buy the cheapest GLOBAL modem available. I need to use it in Australia, UK, USA, and Europe. Does anyone know of a reliable place to buy either of these at a good cost? I have seen a 32mb cf with adapter from www.applemacnet.com for USD 174.00 This was from Apex Data. Any info on this brand? Any help would be appreciated, and I welcome offers from vendors.

I'm thinking you would need to have two different dialing commands, one for the number you are dialing and one for your calling card number. I notice quite a few payphones now have a jack you can plug into (especially in airports). Thought this might be kind of handy for checking email when you're out of town.

See http://www.shoresystems.net I don't know if you'll notice much difference between a 33.6 and a 56k modem on a palmtop. Certainly, it isn't evident on a 620/660LX. FWIW, the Simple Technology http://www.simpletech.com Communicator 33.6 with SimpleJack works fine with the 200LX and draws 140mA. The card works fine in North America, Europe and the Lucky Country. The New Zealand Army just bought 10 of them and is using them happily with a 360LX. We have these in stock for $129, including delivery. I also have a Simple Tech 56k Global Communicator modem/LAN card available. It is a 56k/GSM/ISDN modem and a LAN Card, approved for use in over 70 countries. However, it draws 170mA. Reply via email if interested.

I am about to invest in a flash ram card and modem. I have the 32mb upgrade, and need the PCMCIA card to back up the memory. This means at least a 32mb card. I am thinking Compact Flash and an adapter, because I can then use the card later in CF hardware as well. I am also going to buy a modem. I am looking for a 56kbps, global, less than 150mA current draw fax/voice modem. I am still in the process of finding out is this exists. The closest so far is a Pace Technologies modem, but it drew 180mA. It works in the palmtop, but when online for a while and downloading large amounts, it is a balancing trick to get the screen to display anything. This is so that I can get the one modem for my palmtop and laptop. With the modem, if what I want above does not exist, I would buy the cheapest GLOBAL modem available. I need to use it in Australia, UK, USA, and Europe. Does anyone know of a reliable place to buy either of these at a good cost? I have seen a 32mb cf with adapter from www.applemacnet.com for USD 174.00 This was from Apex Data. Any info on this brand? Any help would be appreciated, and I welcome offers from vendors.

Well there are 3 reasons I use LXTCP instead of WWW/LX: 1) Cost (free) 2) Flexibility (I can piece together the utilities any way I wish) 3) Open interface (WATTCP and LXTCP both with source code) Now if D&A were to make a WATTCP verion of HV I would give up #1. Of course this is dependent upon the price, but I would be willing to pay $30 right now for this and would consider a higher price. This might be a good way to try to profit from those who do not wish to use WWW/LX. To be honest I wouldn't mind giving D&A some money. Along with their commercial programs they have brought several good freeware programs to the HPLX community. I am just not willing to buy and install an additional PPP interface just to have a web browser. I am sure that it wouldn't adversely effect the sales of WWW/LX, due to its strengths: 1) Ease of use 2) Integration 3) Wonderful support (seen it right here on the list) Who else would be interested in a WATTCP version of HV? Maybe with enough interest we could rally D&A to bring us LXTCP users the only application that we are really missing.

I have successfully used payphones with dataports to log in to my ISP. Specifically, the phones were in the Minneapolis/ St. Paul airport and I had NO problems. To add information to another thread, I often use an ISP's 800 number. The ISP is Iowa Network Services (www.netins.net) and costs 15 or 16 cents per minute. To get the 800 service one has to have an existing account, I think. They offer telnet accounts with a Unix shell for $5 per month.

NiCads are a different story. They're of course rechargeable, even with a simple uncontrolled circuit. But there's good evidence that sophisticated chargers, that look at battery temperature, rate of rise of voltage under charge, etc can recharge these cells faster and/or give them a longer service life. Some of the techniques do indeed use pulse charging. However, a word of caution: I'd want to know that the device is truly controlled, preferably with a custon uP chip, and see its charge characteristics. There's a lot of junk out there which is overhyped. (If I had any doubts about overhype being a local (ie US) phenomenon-which I didn't-they were dispelled by my recent trips to England-it's as bad as here! As for carbon zinc-yes you can get somew additional life out of them too, but less than alkalines. They're almost obsolete though for most electronic equipment-the internal resistance is high, and the power density is low, so you'd get a short run time even from new ones. Hope this helps.

It is great for using in flash lights and stuff that you don't want batteries to self discharge in. It doesn't seem to do real well in the palm top because of the voltage discharge curve. The reason I mention this is because the charger used for these is a pulse type charger. (never got brave enough to try "regular" alkalines in the charger. Some friends of mine have tried to use chargers claimed to work on alkalines. The comment I remember was that the regular alkalines wouldn't take a charge if they were discharged much and that they never really got back to a full charge.

No, 200LX BIOS (original RAM disk driver) can handle up to 32MB. So if you remove DRAM from motherboard and jump a new 32MB RAS line to RAS0, it work fine without any other RAM disk driver. Also 512kB(RAS0) plus 32MB(RAS1) is OK. because system use 640kB. >An alternate project is a 16MB upgrade, using two 64Mbit DRAMs (8Mx8, >Row=A11-A0, Col=A10-A0).

Please see LXCIC.DOC for an explanation of the ID meanings. The ID however may not be precise enough if you want to distinguish two cards which have the same ID. I thought of implementing as errorlevel the first character of the manufacturer string. But this would have made it hard to check in a batch file, because errorlevel check always is a 'smaller or equal to' comparison. Thus your batch file would become very lengthy to check for a special character. I also thought of setting up an environment variable, but found no way on how to do that within a program. AFAIK you may check for an environment variable in a program, but to set up one, you have to use the batch/commmand line 'SET' command. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 8 Jul 1998 07:46:45 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , stefan.peichl@METRONET.DE Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stefan Peichl Subject: Re: Megahertz Gold Series Modem Comments: cc: jeffj@scott.net MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > Does anyone have any experience using a Megahertz Gold Series 14400 Fax > Modem in the LX.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Yes you can. We use Outlook and it is sort of OK. I've tried using GP, and to my amazement it worked first time (even though I have to get through a SecurID challenge). However the version of Exchange server being used matters. We have version 5.0, which gives us POP3 access. With POP3 you only get to see the Inbox & Outbox, you cannot see any otherfolders you create. We are hoping to persuade the corporate messaging folk that when we go to version 5.5 they will enable the IMAP service too, which will allow you to see all the folders. But then I'll need to change to use PC-Pine most likely (though I stand to be shot down by other list members on this). PC-Pine uses IMAP only, no POP3 support; in fact in their readme files they positively sneer at POP3 ! With IMAP we will be able to use all sorts of clients, all of which are *much* faster than Outlook; so Psion, Unix and other users (like me) will be able to use their own choice client as the main system, not just for remote access. BTW with GP I noticed that it did not delete any mails from the server, so every time you go in you get the same mails again - the readme said that BWR, it always deletes the mail - you can see the commands being issued, they just don't seem to do anything.

If the commands are issued, and GP makes it through the QUIT and gets a reply to the QUIT then something must be configured wrong on the Exchange server. DELE flags the messages for deletion, and the POP server is supposed to perform the deletes upon successful QUIT. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 8 Jul 1998 09:52:46 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Lionel Zuckier Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Lionel Zuckier Subject: Re: HPLX-L Digest - 6 Jul 1998 to 7 Jul 1998 In-Reply-To: <199807080406.AAA28159@post.aecom.yu.edu> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Has anyone written a program to directly download information from the 200LX to a Rolodex Rex?

Is there any particular reason why you are looking for a Compact Flash card as opposed to a normal Type II ATA Flash card? CF cards are usually more expensive and require an adapter to be used in the 200LX. Also, if you use PKZIP to compress the files, you can probably get by with a smaller memory card. However, compressing 32 MB of files would take an eternity... Check out Marcan Distributing (http://www.marcan-dist.com). They have Simple Technology flash cards (Type II ATA as well as CF) for good prices. A secondary bonus for ordering from them is that they sponsor the SUPER site :) (I have no connection with Marcan, although I may order a 40 MB flash card from them this morning.) Cheers. J. P.

In-Reply-To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Many years ago, during the days of the 95 LX, there was a program called Notepad. It was a free format information organizer. It was very flexible indeed and wonder if anyone on this list knows: 1. Has there been an update to that program to allow it to run on the 200 LX? 2. Is there another program with the same capabilities out there? Here's a paragraph or two about Notepad taken from printed material I received when I purchased it: "Notepad deals primarily with text files, such as those produced by MEMO. NOtepad considers a text file to be composed of "pages," which are separated by "pagebreaks." A pagebreak can be inserted in a text file by the Pgbrk (F10) command in MEMO. Notepad adds several capabilities to MEMO: it provides the ability to view a file as pages, it adds other organizing operations such as the ability to hide pages selectively, it provides powerful searching commands, and it supports hypertext navigation. In addition, Notepad can read and write files used by APPOINTMENT and PHONE, and can prepare files for input to 1-2-3."

If you take a look at the prices for palmtops and for flash cards, they're exactly the same as the prices were from HP and Educalc and what not two or three years ago.

I have access to a lot of debuggers and I've tried every version of Turbo debug that I have, which is every one from the original to the one with BC++ 3.1, which of course doesnt work. None of them have been stable enough to use. I've tried every version of Codeview that doesnt need a 386. They all lock up. I've tried the debugger that came with Power C and it locks up. I registered PCC in the days when it shipped with a debugger and it works till you go into graphics mode. Then it crashes. The same is true for D86, the debugger that ships with A86. It's fine till you go into graphics mode. I just haven't been able to find a real good symbolic source level debugger that will work on the 200lx. It's almost debugger proof. :) But not quite. If you can get a copy of Microsoft's Symdeb, which is a Dos Debug lookalike, but with a lot more ability, it works fine with Tasm or Masm. You need Mapsym also to convert the map files from the linker to symbol files. Symdeb will debug asm code symbolically. You cant define your own symbols in it easily, but you can fake it by adding them to the map file before running Mapsym. It lets you use symbols instead of addresses in all it's commands. If you're using Turbo C as well, compile and link with -y which gives you line numbers and Symdeb will debug it on the source level or the disassembly level or both combined. It will let you do things line G .122 which is the Go command with a breakpoint at line 122. You can use line numbers in place of symbols in most, but not all, places. I still miss Turbo debugger and Codeview but this is not a bad substitute. It's one of the nicest things to come from Microsoft, I think.

The 40 meg compaq flash is now $249 at Office Depot and probably a lot cheaper on the web. The 40 meg ones don't come with adapters but the 15 meg and 20 meg ones do. I bought an adapter from CDW on the web for $10.95. I also went to SanDisk's page and checked the specs on both and they're virtually identical. I've been using the 15meg and 20 meg cards for about a year and the adapter is very well designed so that it fits the card snugly and fits in the palmtop smoothly. It's a very good design, not something they just threw together. When the card is in the adapter it seems just like a pcmcia card. By the way, the adaptor is supposed to be good for 10,000 insertions on either end. It will probably outlast the card.

Uh, 40MB type II (full size) flash cards are more like $180 now, on the web... One advantage of CompactFlash is that they're pretty fast compared to older Type II cards, but then again, most type II cards are just as fast now. -- 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, 8 Jul 1998 15:22:53 GMT Reply-To: John Musielewicz Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: John Musielewicz Subject: Simple Tech 33.6 modem Does the Simple 33.6 support complete power down?

I wonder how many vendors just plug a CF into a Type II case and let it go at that? Seems easy enough to do and saves to some extent on dual product development and production. If that were the case, I'd expect the cost of comparable capacities and perfomances to be close.

The fix I came up is to add a version of this line to the Work Area Startup .BAT file for each of my Software Carousel Work Areas: SET PROMPTx=%PROMPT% ...where 'x' is the Work Area number; i.e. PROMPT2 for the 2nd Work Area. In the .BAT file I use to start WWW/LX I have the following lines: if (%prompt2%)==() goto xit www.exe -d "!post" :xit Change '%prompt2%' to which ever Work Area you want your application restricted to run in. If this application startup .BAT file is run while in Work Area 3 then the environment variable for 'PROMPT2' will not be set so the test for nul will be true causing the .BAT file to abort by branching to the exit point of the .BAT file.

First, CFs are not more expensive than PC Cards but are generally the = same as or less than PC Cards. Yes, an adapter is necessary if one = wishes to use the card in a PC Card slot, but $10-15 for an adapter is a = relative drop in the bucket. Second, CF cards are increasingly the form factor of choice for embedded = systems and small form-factor devices used for digital imaging and = mobile computing. The "memory road-map" I have from three Orange County = manufacturers suggests that the capacity of the cards will increase to = 128MB by fall COMDEX and could go up to 196MB by the middle of next = year. Arguments as to "who needs that much memory on a palmtop" sound = much like Bill Gates' comment once that 640KB ought to be enough memory = for most users. Third, CFs have an advantage many PC Cards don't have: Dual Voltage. = This enables them to be used in older, 5 volt systems such as the 200LX = while retaining compatibility with newer 3.3 volt devices like digicams = and handhelds such as PSion and the 6x0LX. Fourth, as I have pointed out before on this forum, beware of the MAJOR = differences between Sandisk and other cards. Sandisk cards are binary or = double density flash with a continuous data transfer rate of 50-250KB = per second, versus 710KB/second for Viking, Simple and Kingston cards. = Sandisk IS NOT RECOMMENDED for digital cameras because of its = horrendously slow write/erase speeds. Viking, Simple are faster, cheaper = and have a much better - 5 year - warranty, than Sandisk. Finally, Shore Systems WILL PRICE MATCH AND BEAT any comparable price on = the web, and we always include shipping in our prices so that the buyer = knows EXACTLY what his/her purchase will cost. We have no add on charges = for credit cards, processing or "buying club fees". If the prices on our = website aren't the cheapest, let us know and we'll make sure that you = get the lowest possible price.

I had heard in the past that CF cards were cheaper, although a cursory examination of advertised prices didn't bear this out. I have always used Type II full sized PCMCIA cards. My mother was recently asking for advice on Flash cards, and asked about compact flash. What's really cheaper??? -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

P. Grenert grenert@mayo.edu Do you think there are any differences between compact and ATA full cards of equal capacity? As a traveler, compacts are smaller so that one can have more back up. The slight extra cost is made up in weight saving. Hard core travelers will cut the length of their toothbrush to reduce weight and bulk. I looked at Marcan and CNNSHOPER last night. I don't mind supporting Marcan for their support of the SUPER site. I would, if their choices are not so limited and their prices were not higher.

Hi Carol I used a program briefly that is DOS based and might work. I am in the US right now and the prog is in Australia. I will be able to look for you 5 August at the docs. From memory the program was designed to run on a Tandy II PC (DOS) and included Hypertext linking of any info to any other info.. I dont know about 123 prep but it seems this may be at least some of what you want. The program was called Memo I believe.

Basically there is a DOS call that will give the location of the environment variables for this program in memory. These are a copy of the master environment variables set from the dos command line. In turn, you can use information in the viariable block to find a pointer to the master block of variables. Then you can create, remove or modify the master set and the changes will still be there when your program exits. If you try to modify or add to the set that are passed to your program all the changes will disappear after the program exits, that is why you have to take the extra step to locate the master set. I may still have some code examples on how to do this, there are also some examples in pascal or c on simtel if I remember correctly. Check the dos archives under turboc or turbopascal and see what it there. Pete Peter W.

I've got to say that the GREAT HOPE ought to be the software GSM modem. I tried out the TDk GreyCell (yes, TDK own them now) SoftModem, which is for Win95, soon for CE. Given what the software does, I can't believe that the core software modem has anything at all to do with Windows. It's just that the market for a DOS version does not warrant the grief (ahhh, that low memory stuff). GSM currently only does 9600, ideal for the LX. The TDK product is just a floppy disk of software, and a cable from 9-pin DIN to the particular phone. I really can't imagine a better match for the LX - but unless Japan has gone to GSM, there will never be the market.

I think the major reason is that Japanese users made very powerful software named Japanese kit that enables you to use Kanji on a 200LX. It runs much faster than Japanese Windows CE system. But in Japan, a 200LX is not the most popular palmtop computer. Sharp's Zaurus that is different from what we see in US is extremely popular and NEC's Mobile Gear (486 DOS based palmtop) is also popular. Of course the number of users of PalmPilot (Palm III) and WindowsCE are increasing. > What would happen is a Japanese company offered to buy the rights to the > 200LX off HP ?

When I first read this message I just assumed you were looking for a similar program. I think I remember notepad and I might have a copy of it on a zip disk somewhere. Is that what you're asking for?

Thus we specify 'HTML 2.0' rather than any specific browser (please don't shoot, I'm vague on exact numbers); we would if we could specify a document format, as we have ***nightmares*** with MS products and compatibilty - we dream of XML (I'm told) but are quite certain MS will 'adopt' it as a standard and produce a proprietary interpretation of it, rendering it unusable - unless you (a) use their products and (b) update ceaselessly. The direction of this rant ? The continued success of the 200LX &co depends entirely on interfaces. We have to live with DOS 5.0, we can add Windows 3.0 - perhaps Minix too. People like D&A who provide the interface to the basic WWW are vital. We need people to go on and track vital directions, like Java. We need interfacing tools - within limits - so yes to *readers* for MS products like Word and Excel (?PPT?) but *no* to writing anything fancy. Write the lowest common denominator, e.g. RTF or Word/WP 5.n. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 8 Jul 1998 21:20:51 -0700 Reply-To: David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: Memory cards In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Wed, 8 Jul 1998, barrym wrote: > I'm talking about Sandisk cards.

Is there a way of getting around this? Well I tried a few methods to get around the problem and it just didn't work. So then I went for the second solution from Simtel.Net (which you already know about, everyone else try: http://www.simtel.net): + rbsetnv1.zip 20k setenv.exe which will let you set an enviroment variable without '=' problem. Also does UNIX STYLE BACKTICK SUBSTITUTION* (though you need to set comspec to point to d:/dos/command.com). Includes source. Public domain. + appenv21.zip 4k appenv.com will let you append to an enviroment variable without '=' problem. If the variable doesn't exist it will be create. If it already exists is will be appended to, so you may need to reset your variable (set variable=) between calls. Includes source. Non-commercial freeware. + xset522.zip 94k xset.exe will let you append to an enviroment variable without '=' problem. It also does a billion other things too, kinda like LXBATCH without the LX. Shareware. There was also a couple of other utilities which would take input from the user and push it into a variable. One (setenv13.zip) was actually written for the sake of cramming '=' into variables. I did not test these. There were also several other that should have worked that didn't, I didn't list these. Hopefully Stefan Peichl will see this message and note that 2 of 3 (or 3 of 4) include source since this relates quite closely to a discussion with the Subject: "ANN: LXCIC". BTW, don't you hate when you do a quick jaunt to simtel and expect to be in and out in five minutes and find you have been hanging around for hours :-) PS Almost hit SEND and came up with another solution. Use LXBATCH and you already have that don't you (Ex. lxb fastinput plugh "Input Da Stuff")? *Note: If you can't guess, I thought that the unix style backtick substitution was fairly interesting and wanted everyone to see it. -- 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, 9 Jul 1998 07:31:45 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Mcallaster, Douglas L., LTC, DAPE" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Mcallaster, Douglas L., LTC, DAPE" Subject: Writer's Toolkit WTB I'm looking to purchase DOS version of Writer's Toolkit to run on HP200LX.

I have almost all of these tools - I purchased from MIX Software (of Power C fame) their C Utilities Toolchest. The name is really confusing - it is really a bunch of UNIX-like tools for DOS. I had to add some other utilities, like AWK and NROFF, but almost have a complete suite of UNIX commands on my palmtop (and even my NT desktop). > WCED is similar to tcsh filename completion, but much improved. I've heard of this program, a good friend uses it on his machine. But I've been using something called CMDEDIT from the PCMagazine collection for years. The latest version I have has been updated as recently as April 97. It is version 2.0 with j1 extensions. It features filename completion and command history recall. It has other features, but I don't use them. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

NEC's Mobile Gear looks like a Mobile Pro (NEC's Windows CE machine). It has a touch typeable keyboard and a half VGA screen. In stead of Windows CE, it has an original operating system named Unishell that comes with text web browser, dictionary, editor and so on. Although it is based on the MS-DOS, you can't not "exit" to MS-DOS without using a free software made by Japanese hackers. The CPU is low power version of 486 called 486GX and it works with two AA batteries. The half VGA screen might sound good for 200LX users, but actually you can't run any DOS software that requires VGA or CGA. (CGA emulator for MG is currently being developped though). I have the MG, but personally I prefer my 200LX, because the MG is too big for me.

Here is a URL for the keyboard: http://www.fpsi.fujitsu.com/product/120perif.htm#KEYBOARD It looks like a fairly decent keyboard.

Well, I'm speaking only with reference to Sandisk/Sundisk cards, which are the only ones I've owned so far. Physically, the CF card in its adapter is almost indistinguishable from a full-size ATA card. The adapter goes into and out of the 200LX as easily as a regular card. I only removed the CF card from the adapter a couple of times just to see how it worked. It was tricky enough that I think that if I owned two CF cards, I'd have an adapter for each. It was a very simple procedure, but it's a tight fit and I was afraid I'd launch the CF card across the room. The CF-adapter connection seems very stable. As far as speed and power drain goes, I didn't notice a difference when I went from my 4 MB CF to a Sundisk 10 MB Type II ATA card. >I looked at Marcan and CNNSHOPER last night. I don't mind supporting >Marcan for their support of the SUPER site. >I would, if their choices are not so limited and their >prices were not higher. The best price I could find was around $177 for a Simple Technologies 40 MB ATA flash card. I don't have/plan to purchase a device using CF cards, so I decided on a full-size card. Marcan had the card for $189. I figured that I've gotten a lot more than $12 use out of SUPER, so I went ahead and ordered the card from them. Bernie Torbik of Shore Systems (who is on this list) also carries this card. If anyone is interested, I'll post my impressions of the new card once it arrives (early next week). Also, if anyone is looking for a 10 MB Sundisk card, mine will be up for sale sometime next week :) Cheers. J. P.

Are newer cards faster or use less power? New cards are much faster, and do use less power, particularly CompactFlash cards. (Although you may not see a huge difference on the 200LX.) On the other hand, if the card is cheap, then... Just keep in mind that you can buy a new 40MB card for $180 now. -- 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, 9 Jul 1998 11:55:21 -0700 Reply-To: David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: My palmtop has " The Clap"!!!!

According to my Norton Antivirus virus list, there are two variants of Casino, "Casino" and "Casino.B" which both do the same thing and are the same size. It infects .COM files, is 2330 bytes, and is memory resident and employs size stealth. When active on January 15, April 15, and August 15, the virus plays a slot machine game and the message "CASINO DE MALTE JACKPOT..." appears. If you lose, your file allocation table is lost. August 15 is coming up...

This virus *may* have come from a SUPER file. I got an email the other day saying that Casino was found on one of the files in the collection. I will freely admit that virus checking has not been done on the files in the archive as I am a trusting soul (maybe too trusting). Since I operate mainly in a UNIX world (not many viral problems there), I don't even own a virus scanner. Is there a scanner out there that would be good to use? I could ftp the whole collection over to a DOS machine and check from there... Sorry if this has/will cause problems. I will see if I can flush out the offending files ASAP. Mitch S.U.P.E.R.

One could also use Interlnk/Intersvr and a serial cable and scan the palmtop as a drive with a DOS scanner. Or use a LAN card and run a DOS virus scanner on a remote system and check the palmtop files. I will probably check my flash card files on the desktop using Norton Antivirus 4.0 for Win95, and run FPROT or some other DOS virus scanner right on the palmtop by logging into our Netware server from my 200LX. -- 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, 9 Jul 1998 09:46:25 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Longden C.

LX is running intersvr and my Win95 desktop is running interlnk, and Norton AntiVirus is checking what it thinks are the E and G drives. I set it to check program files only due to the slowness of the connection. does anyone know if Casino virus needs to be checked on data files? This would take a lot longer.. Ah, NAV just finished with both drives (C and A) and found nothing on 300+ program files.

Your weak link to the desktop is both a blessing and a curse. Think of it as a ball and chain situation and ask yourself how strong you want that chain to be when the ball (desktop) gets bigger every year.

The catch is that the SH888 expects IR data in the IrDA format. As I far as I understand things, the HP IR port is not IrDA compliant. Can any one offer any speculation on whether / how it might be possible to get the HP and the phone to talk to one other via IR? It make for a neat system, and I'll consider buying the phone in a few months when the price has dropped somewhat. Is there anything available that makes the HP meet the IrDA standards? I'm aware of the printer drivers for the built in applications, but they are not much good here! I'm not even sure of how to access the IR port from Dos - I know serctl /i turns it on, but what com port (if any) is it attached to? If there isn't anything available, has anyone got any suggestions on where to start writing something that'll do the job? (i'm an adequate coder but know next to nothing about the internals of the HP). Are the specs. of how to operate the HP's port available anywhere? What about the source code for the printer drivers? There seems to be plenty of info about IrDA on www.irda.com Thanks for your comments, Tim Cockerill Durham, UK TimCocker@aol.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, 9 Jul 1998 18:49:30 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "James P.

I use HV regularly and it is a fine piece of work. I really like being able to turn off inline graphics and just use LXPIC if I want to see one (wish I could do it with Netscape on the desktop). Of course it would be nice if it handled extended forms and secure http. Then I would never have to use a desktop at all. Of course I don't think it would fit in a 70k package then but it would be worth it. I also would support a browser for LXTCP. Of course the whole point of LXTCP is it is system manager complient so it would be nice if a browser for it was also. But to be honest I wouldn't pay much unless it handled extended forms and shttp.

Apparently, they differ in form and spec from the SRAM cards used for the calculator series and that has caused some confusion. That much I'm familiar with. I believe the 'card battery low' message is (in most cases now days) an erroneous warning of what it thinks is a pending drive error because the PCMCIA card is sucking too much power. Possibly, when the old SRAM card batteries gave out, the LX may have been directed to route some AA power to the card socket to keep the card active. Just speculation, as some of this predates my LX experience (which started in '95). - 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, 10 Jul 1998 23:12:16 -700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Constant Brouerius van Nidek Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Constant Brouerius van Nidek Subject: connectivity MIME-Version: 1.0 In a absent minded mood I must have put the 9-pin female female connector from the connectivity pack on a weird place.

I had originally detected the virus with Innoculan for Netware. It was a fairly new copy with the latest signatures loaded.. I know that sometimes a virus signature can be detected when a file just happens to have the same byte sequence as the signature (rare. But it happened once with a version of norton AV erroneously reporting the Malta virus on a version of Pkzip).. Innoculan reported that just about every .com file I was copying to the server from my palmtop had the Casino virus. I subsequently ran McAfee (pretty recent version) and F-Prot. Neither of these packages detected the virus If someone else also found it then (hopefully) I'm not crazy. I don't know why the other packages didn't detect it. I don't know when ,where Who's the other person that found the same virus? -----Original Message----- From: John Musielewicz Ýmailto:musi0009@TC.UMN.EDU¨ Sent: Friday, July 10, 1998 2:28 AM To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu Subject: Re: ÝHPLX-L¨ SUPER Viral Results Without knowing the name of the file its pretty tough to determine that it actually came from the Super site.

Checking the web site (try www.addonics.com instead of addonics.com), I saw that it says it's powered entirely off the laptop's battery (wouldn't work with the HPLX) but that it also includes an AC adapter that can be used (which -may- resolve the power problem).

I use a Diamondtel and a Apex Mobile modem. The modem is a pcmcia that draws 138mAh ands thus works with the 200LX. But there are problems to consider: 1. The battery life of both phone and palmtop is pretty short with this set up. 2. The speeds are waaaaaay down, only about 4800 or so reliably. So that basically limits you to very short sessions, and short emails. I have shown in this setup browsing on the Web using our product (WWW/LX) but it is so slow it is somewhat annoying :) ... 3. The transmission is not clean, depending of course where you are. 4. Not only can your phone be cloned, but now, your email and passwords can also be snatched off the air. 5. The connection is VERY VERY costly. Having said that, let me point you to another route, although hard to come by: There is a cell ready Motorola modem that is a pocket modem. It runs on 9V and is cell ready. It works directly with motorola cellphones, but I suspect that an appropriate cable can be made to fit other phones. This set up works much better because it has more battery power. The problem is to find pocket modems that run on batteries, and the proper cables. I have just completed a month of being mobile. It is possible to do what you want, but I question the true need. In most places in the US where you have enough infrastructure for good mobile phone reception, you'll most likely also have a good infrastructure for regular wired phones. Outside the USA there are other options: Most of Europe and Asia use GSM for the mobile phones, and there are GSM cards that wither fit the phone or the palmtops. In other areas the infrastructure is so underdeveloped that neither wired or unwired communication is easy. Good luck. Please share your results here! Avi M.

Hi- The Palmtop Paper vol 6 #4 (July/august '97) has an article on using a Zip drive (and/or) a hard drive using the TransDigital Parallel Card & DoubleSlot adapter (flash card & Zip together). Actually the article also discusses daisy-chaining both the Zip & the hard drive.

This will tell you if you have corrupted files and which files. If the corrupted ones are the same files reported with a virus then you do have a virus. The casino alters the length of the files and this will show up with a chkdsk. (if you do a chkdsk /f and you have files corrupted by the virus chkdsk will wreck ythe files) Next, if you have corrupted files, I'd call McAfee and find out why their program didn't pick it up. According to their documentation the program should be able to check all drives even networked drives.

Check it with a voltmeter If it reads more than 15 volts without the palmtop connected its not regulated enough probably won't work anyway. The amperage should be fine if its actually putting out that much. Also you have to be careful to use an adapter that was designed for the load. I tried a 12 volt 780 mA adapter designed for an answering machine because it was really small. In specs (shows you how well these things are rated) fit voltage, currant and regulation. But it still couldn't handle the load of the palmtop if I would charge batteries and run a modem at the same time. I replaced it with a radio shack adapter and thats worked fine ever since. The HP adapter puts out 780 mA minimum so 830 should be enough. Also if you find the adapter won't work you can use the 12 volt 1 amp max from radio shack. That one works fine. Its about 20 dollars. It gets the palmtop a little warmer when charging batteries but a little heat never hurt anything as long as it doesn't get hot! Its also pretty big so its not really made for traveling. Times2Tech sells another which is really small which would be perfect for traveling but heard its about 35 dollers. Haven't used it though. Also if your card needs too much current you can expect weird things to happen like main battery low, card battery low, unexplained c drive lockups, stuff like this whether you have AC connected or not. Remember the card will be underpowered so it won't work quite right. Hope this helps.

Find a piece of sponge, cut to shape and shove it in there. Bath sponges are not so good, tend to lose their shape. Try the sponge they use to pack electronic components and cameras, a little stiffer and lasts longer. Don't know where I found the piece I have now, but it actually survived the LX! It was in my previous machine which died a screen death, and when my current clasp lost it, I dug it out and used it again.

Well, for the past two weeks I have been using a 700lx with a PacificBell GSM phone. The 700lx, for those who are not familiar, is basicly a 200lx with a built-in Nokia data card and docking port for a Nokia GSM phone. I have found the data and fax connections to be wonderful. The system works extremly well. I particularly enjoy the SMS funtions. Because of the rate structure for $9.95/mo I can send and recieve as many SMS as I want. There is a free gateway on the internet at www.byedesk.com that will actually take a properly formated SMS and send it as an email on the internet. So now I can send short internet emails at no extra charges, no airtime. The service also allows to recieve messages from the internet as it assigns your phone an email address. It all works pretty slick. I have faxed using qfax, and checked ccmail all over the GSM phone and it works quite nice. I wish I had WWW/LX so I could give that a try. I think it would work quite well even at 9600 baud, which is the present maximum on GSM. The only problem is the 700lx is very bulky when used to carrying the 200lx. The next best solution would be a GSM data card and cable to connect to your phone. -Tim tim.shephard@bigfoot.com tims.phone@bigfoot.com (Text only.

I looked at TF200 when it first came out, but stopped using it because -didn't allow selective file restores (like you accidentally corrupted a file and need a copy from the backup). -didn't show me what was actually in the backup (I couldn't verify the contents and whether all files including hidden ones were accounted for). Mostly I just wondered if anyone has actually done a restore using the TF200 backup set and what problems, if any were encountered. Thanks. - 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: Sat, 11 Jul 1998 06:00:07 GMT Reply-To: John Musielewicz Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: John Musielewicz Subject: Re: Post/LX - Download Headers only? menu + F + R In message , klag@DWELLE.DE said: > Hi all, > > where can I set the Option "Download Headers Only" in the main screen of > Post/Lx, as mentioned in the Doc-File of Post/LX?

I ony ask for it because you should know the order in which the palmtop searches on the drives for the boot files: The normal order (if you don't have changed it by pressing ALT while booting and choose another) is: 1. Loading COMMAND.COM, IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS from D: drive. 2. searching A: drive for config.sys, is there a config.sys, take it for booting. Is there also an autoexec.bat, execute it. is there no autoexec.bat, don't use any autoexec.bat. is there no config.sys, go on with step 3. 3. serching C: drive for config.sys..... (etc - as described in step 2.). if no config.sys on C: go on with 4 4. there is no config.sys but this one on drive D:. Take this, and also the autoexec.bat on drive D:. I hope you understood it (sorry for mistakes - my English isn't the best). That was what I meant with boot behaviour. If you know it you are able to manage different boot configurations, regarding on what flash card is in the LX or regarding on *if* there is a flash card in.

I was just remarking that I think its a little silly to have those programs zipped on the SUPER archive. Normally wherever you go the zip programs are self-extracters, not zips themself. I just think that it would be a good idea if they changed them. My first intention when I got to the SUPER site is : 1) Grab all sorts of neat stuff 2) Realize most is zipped 3) Look for the unzip program in the list and grab it too.

Walter, here's some info from my notes - sorry its a bit long. DOS Environment The environment is a small area in memory that DOS sets aside for storing text variables. Normally you set the size of the master environment area with a SHELL= statement in config.sys. The default size is 256 bytes and will almost certainly need to be increased if you begin to use variables to automate your daily tasks. Normally you view, create and replace environment variables with the SET command. MS-DOS automatically creates certain variables such as COMSPEC and CONFIG when you boot the computer. Whenever DOS loads a program into memory it makes a copy of the current environment and passes this copy to the program. This copy is only big enough to include the variables currently defined in the environment, rounded up to an even multiple of 16 bytes. Although it is an efficient use of memory it is inconvenient for persons who normally operate from a shell program such as DosShell etc because there isn't much environment space available no matter how large an area you set aside. If you get an *out of environment space* message while running a shell program, increase the size of the master environment with the SHELL= statement. Here is a list of environment variables: APPEND COMSPEC This points to the active copy of the command interpreter loaded with the SHELL= command. All of command.com isn't in memory all the time and when parts must be reloaded the Comspec variable is used to find the command.com file on disk. In the following SHELL= command, command.com sets the Comspec variable using the C:\DOS\ parameter that follows the command interpreter name: SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM C:\DOS\ /E:512 /P DOS executes the shell= command at the end of config.sys processing. When it does command.com sets the Comspec variable in the environment as if it had executed SET COMSPEC=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM (Note that command.com does not actually use the SET command). Many programs search the environment for the COMSPEC variable when they must locate command.com. If you are having trouble shelling to a DOS prompt from one of your application programs check the COMSPEC environent variable and make sure that its pointing to a valid copy of command.com.

Thus you could say: subst f: a:\misc\apps\window95\powerpt\utility\pgms path c:\dos;f: An added bonus is that SUBST can be used to replace the ASSIGN statement used in most autoexec.bats and takes up much less RAM (like none..I don't know how it's done either). - 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, 12 Jul 1998 11:18:49 +1000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Brendan Macmillan Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Brendan Macmillan Subject: Re: Clasp Problem In-Reply-To: <19980711145538.AAA23264@Inbox> from "Chris T Wibisono" at Jul 11, 98 09:49:00 pm MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > >"Only a madman would give a loaded revolver to a retarded child!"

Okay... i agree that could work as well :-) > So, COMMAND.COM is executed for each new shell .... in mc (multiple choice > task swapper - small & fast),... Each new shell? I don't understand - do you mean each new program started under dosshell or a new command interpreter started from dosshell? If you load a second copy of command.com under dosshell (without a path parameter) the new interpreter inherits the contents of the first interpreter's environment. Even if you change the second interpreter's environment it is lost when you exit and the previous environment is unchanged. > Could changing COMSPEC to something like > SET COMSPEC=DOSKEY | C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM > do the trick? Two problems here: The comspec variable as i understand it is solely for defining the command interpreter's location (especially important if command.com is not in the root directory of the boot drive). Your line above confuses me (not difficult to do actually ) and doskey as well i'm sure since the latter portion of the line is not a valid parameter for doskey. Doskey is normally used in autoexec.bat as you said but the comspec variable is already set if you used the shell= line i mentioned earlier. I am also having trouble seeing the value of using both doskey and dosshell at the same time. I've never actually used dosshell (nor doskey but i did use ndos which functioned quite similar) but doesn't it make light work of repetitive dos keystrokes *and* provide a neat text-mode menu as well? Why then would you need doskey or did i misunderstand your post? BTW: is any of dosshell's graphic display modes available on the 200LX? Regards, Ian C.

The ms extension worries >me. Did Microsoft infect my 200LX? Help. :-))))) Yes, of course. There is MS-DOS 5.0 on your palmtop. But be happy that you don't have the biggest virus of the world on the palmtop - Windows 95! :-) OK - I think you used "MSAV" for scanning. Right? This (MS-) program writes this file in every directory - just as you described. I don't know exactly about the contents of this file, but I think, in it there stand the *.COM and *.EXE - files and their checksums, so MSAV can compare these checksums next time you start scanning and so it can realize if there is an infected file. As I said - I don't know if this is the exact job of these files, but you don't have to worry about it. It's no virus. There is another virus scanner called "CPAV" ("Central Point Anti Virus"), it comes with PC-Tools (C) (by Central Point). This one does exactly the same - only the files are named "chklist.cps" instead of chklist.ms.

I have worked in regulatory affairs (FDA compliance and applications) for a number of years so I have some experience with federal regulations. Still, I am not a lawyer--I have little experience with the law, and none with trial law. That said, I'll still toss in my 2 cents. It seems to me that the main issue is the claims made with the material provided, in this case the manual and other printed material. I looked through everything that came with my 200LX and have the definite impression that HP was very careful with the way they worded their claims. The license agreement refers only to "the software" and makes no mention of MS-DOS whatsoever. There is an allowance that licensees may make "adaptations" of the software if it "is an essential step in the use of the software with a computer," but importing an outside module hardly seems like adaptation. The box contains a statement that "MS-DOS(R) 5.0 is built in" This may be the best argument, but it is still far from a license for DOS 5.0. The manual states "Your palmtop contains a version of MS-DOS 5.0 in ROM that is optimized for a palmtop PC. Some of the external commands have been omitted, and some important utility commands have been added." My personal conclusion is that use of the full DOS 5.0 package is not technically legal. That said, I will also mention that I have edlin.exe in c:\utils on my 200LX. I believe this is not an issue that Microsoft would choose to pursue.

I don't understand - do you mean each new program started > under dosshell or a new command interpreter started from dosshell? I'm using MC, not DOSSHELL. MC is short for "multiple choice". It is 5k long, and enables you to switch *instantly* between dos sessions (shells, tasks or whatever). It does this by dividing up the RAM into partitions for each shell (just like SysMan). In contrast, DOSSHELL swaps to disk, so that you can swap bigger programs (provided you have the disk space available!!), and it is much slower. > > SET COMSPEC=DOSKEY | C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM > > Two problems here: The comspec variable as i understand it is solely for > defining the command interpreter's location (especially important if > command.com is not in the root directory of the boot drive).

DOSSHELL is a shell swapper, not a shell interpreter. An *highly* ambiguous name . > BTW: is any of dosshell's graphic display modes available on the 200LX? I don't know about DOSSHELL's display modes, but MC also works with CGA graphics (but you must set the g option), so the graphics display is swapped as well. The switch is still instant with graphics. To give you an idea of what I mean by "instant": you can swap so fast that the screen flickers between the displays of different tasks!!

I do this because I like to stay online after downloading headers (so I can scan the headers and then immediately download the messages I chose to read). If you run Post (mail) and News2 together then News will ALWAYS hang up the line (even if you unchecked the box "hang up aafter download") in the Global setup. However, Post (by itself) WILL stay online after the mail check and so will News2 if you run it as an external from Post, so I end up running the programs separately. The point is that if you run News2 separately like that then it will not update the high number box if you have placed a negative number in it to restrict the amount of headers to download. BUT it will update the high number box if you run the Post(mail)/News2 combo (not run the programs separately). So now I have updated the number and will try to return to the way I ususally use the program (as an external). Hope this is clear. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 12 Jul 1998 19:25:56 -0700 Reply-To: "Tim S."

A text search program that I wrote can chop the content of these archives into messages and will allow you to search for multiple words using and/or/not logic within each message. The shareware program is on Simtel as maxfnd33.zip and works from the DOS prompt. The zip includes 20 pages of documentation. The magic in breaking out msgs is the use of the string "¬Date:", which in the archive, occurs at the start of each message. So I use this one line batch file: mf -ps"¬Date:" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 c:\100lx\log*.txt" In the second term, the -p says to break the text into pieces (or paragraphs), the s requests that the string ¬Date: is the defining string. The %n terms are replaced with your search arguments. The program also has a fuzzy spelling option. The inner loop is in assembler and it searches 60K / sec on the LX and 2 meg / second on my Pentium. Very useful for moderate size text files. If you browse the archive you will see several lines in each msg that are net/transmission oriented (e.g.: MIME-version) and simply clutter up the archive. I use this batch file to remove six lines that appear in most messages by using the NOT (!) option (put it all on one line): mf -c !Reply-To: !Sender: !MIME-Version: !Content-Typ !Content-Tra "!For Unsubscribe re" "!***DO NOT" %1 >%2 This reduces the file size by 25%. I reduce the file size an additional 10% shortening the ==== and ----- separators: texrep =========:= \45\45\45\45:\45 log*.txt Texrep is a global search and replace pgm that accepts multiple string pairs.

It lets you install EXM applications with an icon and a hotkey. It doesn't replace AppMan, but supplements it, since it overcomes the 8 EXM limit. > Where can I find it?

I also figured out that if I create one with the same structure, I can merge the converted .GDB file into the new database and it works. But now I have a related problem: I want to switch over to the Database app because it offers far superior handling of the date fields. Unfortunately, if I define my new field in the Database file as a "Date" field, it won't import my NoteTaker text field (in the form of 07/12/98, for example).

First I dumped the NDB file to a text file with GDBDUMP. There was a small problem with my "date" field in the NoteTaker database being in the form of MM/DD/YY, when GDBLOAD needs it to be in YYYYMMDD form in order to import it into a true Date field. I just loaded it in a text editor, replaced /97 with /1997 and /98 with /1998, and then ran a quick macro to reformat the dates from 01/01/98 to 19980101 format. Then, GDBLOAD worked quite nicely!

I couldn't find any references to EDLIN on the referenced web site... BTW, there's only one reason I can think of to use EDLIN. It is the only way to edit a file (using standard provided MS software) when you have re-directed the console out the serial port (see CTTY).

I DL'd a copy of the SDK, and have checked in Ralf Brown's Interrupt List. Good info on turning charging on or off, setting battery type, reading power status and battery voltage. Nothing about selecting the slow rate (at least that I've found).

Johan, Try an old hacker's trick. If you have access to a compiler on a DOS machine (like your 200lx), write a small priogram that just returns a 1 (which should be a good value) to command.com. Rename the executable to cr.com, then replace the original with the new one. You may have to play around with the original cr.com to find out what it's supposed to return.

If there's any speed increase, it might come from reduced overhead in dealing with a contiguous FAT or clusters. If you have BUFFERS set in your config.sys, DOS may check the buffered area before looking to disk and therefore non-contiguous blocks may waste an extra nanosecond to check the buffer before having to fetch the data from disk. Just wild speculation.

Well, I was never *that* much of an edlin guru. :) I've looked through the DOS 5.0 manual and can't find any hint of what you're mentioning. Of course "1" will put you at the first line and "l" without any parameters will display 11 lines with the current line last. It seems that you can put the cursor at the last line by using a number that is larger than the last line.

There was another discussion of whether the cards maybe by Sandisk and sold under other names were different in any way than the cards sold as Sandisk cards.

Basically, thats a .exe file that you run and it de-compresses itself. It's a good idea to use the -d parameter when you execute it in case there is a directory structure contained in it. If there is, it'll reproduce that structure. If there are no directories then -d is ignored.

The two regular AHDs are $25 and the one with quotes is $30 (all prices are plus shipping).

Frankly, something that small wouldn't raise too much of a stink, but since the nice administrator has asked us repeatedly not to post binaries, and especialy since we have such a nice resource like SUPER to use for distributing and archiving binaries, lets use SUPER and not abuse the administrator's hospitality.

With server side programming (ie all the > power is at the web site), this may be a goer... Java takes a lot of processing power because of the extra levels of indirection (the app talks to the virtual machine interface which talks to the core VM, instead of talking to the OS and/or hardware). However, there are other languages that run on MANY platforms, and have a much greater wealth of code written for them, and freely available. My favorite is perl, which is available for unix, DOS, Mac, OS/2, Plan 9, Next, etc.) All the networking/server/UI stuff is already written. I use it every day (I'm a Project Manager of http://www.inergy.com). BASIC runs in a lot of places, but not very well. Then there's C/C++, which gives you a tremendous speed advantage, at the cost of compile time and "enough rope to hang yourself by". Many industry experts are saying that Java is very much not ready for prime time as a secure, portable language, but it would have had a much better chance if M$ and Netscape didn't deviate from the standard so much, defeating the whole purpose. EWvery language has it's purpose, though. JDBC is supposed to be an excellent way to get an app to talk to your SQL DBMS. ------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer dskramer@concentric.net DK KD http://start.at/david.kramer DKK D DK KD It takes all kinds, but not as many kinds as there are.

Not screaming in terror like his passengers. Instead of having "answers" on a math test, they should just call them "impressions," and if you got a different "impression," so what, can't we all be brothers? If you ever drop your keys into a river of molten lava, let 'em go, because, man, they're gone. If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason. One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to a burned out warehouse. "Oh no," I said, "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late. The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face. If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is, "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is, "Probably because of something you did." If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the mirror, because I bet that's what REALLY throws you into a panic. Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what if I was an ant and she fell on me. Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny. To me, boxing is like ballet, except there's no music, no choreography and the dancers hit each other. I hope if dogs ever take over the world, and they choose a king, they don't just go by size, because I bet there are some Chihuahuas with some good ideas. If life deals you lemons, why not go kill someone with the lemons (maybe by shoving them down his throat). Probably the earliest fly swatters were nothing more than some sort of striking surface attached to the end of a long stick. I think a good gift for the President would be a chocolate revolver. And since he's so busy, you'd probably have to run up to him real quick and hand it to him. Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at that word itself. MANKIND. Basically, it's made up of two separate words "mank" and "ind." What do these words mean? It's a mystery and that's why so is mankind. If you go flying back through time and you see someone else flying forward into the future, it's probably best to avoid eye contact. If you ever reach total enlightenment while you're drinking soda, I bet it makes pop shoot out your nose. To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kinda scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus and a clown killed my dad. I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it. Whenever you read a good book, it's like the author is right there, in the room talking to you, which is why I don't like reading good books. During the Middle Ages, probably one of the biggest mistakes was not putting on your armor because you were "just going down to the corner." If I ever get real rich, I hope I'm not real mean to poor people, like I am now. When I found a skull in the woods, the first thing I did was call the police. But then I got curious about it, picked it up, and started wondering who this person was, and why he had deer horns. Here's a good thing to do if you go to a party and you don't know anybody: First take out the garbage. Then go around and collect extra garbage people might have, like a crumpled napkin, and take that out too. Pretty soon people will want to meet the busy garbage guy. Sometimes I think you have to march right in and demand your rights, even if you don't know what your rights are, or who the person is you're talking to. Then on the way out slam the door. Broken promises don't upset me. I just think, why did they believe me? If you ever crawl inside an old hollow log and go to sleep, and while you're in there some guys come and seal up both ends and then put it on a truck and take it to another city, boy, I don't know what to tell you. One thing vampire children must be taught from an early age is, don't run with a wooden stake. If you go to a costume party at your boss' house, wouldn't you think a good costume would be to dress up like the boss' wife? Trust me, it's not. Most of the time it was probably real bad being stuck in a dungeon. But some days, when there was a bad storm outside, you'd look out the window and think, "Boy, I'm glad I'm not out in that." I'd like to see a nature film where an eagle swoops down and pulls out a fish out of a lake, and then maybe he's flying along, low to the ground, and the fish pulls a worm out of the ground. Now that's a documentary. If I was the head of a country that lost a war, and I had to sign a peace treaty, just as I was signing, I'd glance over the treaty and then suddenly act surprised and say, "Wait a minute! I thought we won!" Sometimes you have to be careful when selecting a new name for yourself. For instance, let's say you have chosen the nickname "Fly Head." Normally you would think that "Fly Head" would mean a person who has beautiful swept-back features, as if flying through the air. But think again. Couldn't it also mean "having a head like a fly"? I'm afraid that some people might actually think that. Somebody told me how frightening it was how much topsoil we are losing each year, but I told that story around the campfire and nobody got scared. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 14 Jul 1998 21:41:24 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Waldemar Kowalski Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Waldemar Kowalski Subject: Re: source for newton kb cable?

I *believe* that if your'e not in the root directory, dos keeps track of file fragments by maintaining linked lists. These tend to get large as the disk gets fragmented and bits of files are stored "all over the place". The increased access times stems from the increased number of reads needed to access a file, and not from latency or read-times by themselves.

Ah, but here we see the fatal flaw of this technique! For how can we make sure the D: drive and the ROM is free of viruses if we only run the program on the desktop? I see what's going on... you want us all to fall victim to the dreaded ROM viruses that invade your motherboard, desolder the ROM, swap it with a freshly-burned EEPROM full of evil code, and then disappear!

First I thought of a software problem, but then I did the ESC-ON keyboard test and these keys just have died. I did what I wanted to do since a long time: I took out my 100LX and made a heart transplant between my two palmtops. Now I have a 2x 32MB 200LX in a decent black 100LX case, and a 100LX in a 200LX case. I was very surprised to see the dead keys working again with my 100LX motherboard. The reason must have been a bad contact between the keyboard and the motherboard (it is not a plug, just a contact depending on pressure). If you have similar problems, first try to fix the screws, keeping the palmtop together.

I think the .pic is a Lotus proprietary format and not the .pic used by some other graphics programs. Does anyone know of a freeware viewer (and maybe printer) that can display and/or print those formats? I believe Lotus supplied a program called PrintGraph for theirs (on the full 123 package, not on the LX). I know shareware.com and other sites have a ton of these, but has anyone already found one that works WELL on the LX? I've tried a couple, but they were too big, too expensive or just plain wouldn't work on a CGA/8086.

It shows how to manipulate messages that have been exported from a ccmail program to an interchange format - the problem being that there is no way to export on the palmtop (even the DOS export program will not work unless it can connect to a ccmail server). I've looked into this a bit, and have found no public document, private document or piece of source code which describes the format of the ccmail files on the palmtop. I do not believe that such a thing exists.

To practice 'Safe Hex', folks, remember that the computer to be infected must not only be containing instructions that are infections virus material, but those instructions must be executed. Downloading a file does not execute the code contained in that file, if any. nor will opening an email do that. Given current day email programs, I suppoise that if people stilll used ANSI graphics, and contained an ANSI graphic file within an email, it would be POSSIBLE to carry a trojan horse that would do things like keyboard redefinition, but no one uses ANSI anymore, we all have windows now, and ANSI was a text mode way of faking graphics. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 15 Jul 1998 23:17:01 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jeff Johns Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jeff Johns Subject: Weather This isn't exactly LX related but does anyone know of an email service that automatically emails weather info daily?

Can they be used with the 200LX? They only mention the PalmPilot and CE but it looks like they connect through the serial port so I would think if there was a driver they would work. Any opinions? They are 9 by 4. A nice size for traveling. It also looks like they use power from the serial port so you'd have to use the AC adapter. They have 12 user remappable keys which would be great for the built-ins. They've got an estimated cost of 70 dollars which is pretty good. Is there any reason why they wouldn't work? Also anybody know what happened to our matchboxed sized universal serial port keyboard adapter? I remember someone took that over but I lost the email address of that person. Did anyone save her address and could you post it? I'd like to find out whats going on with it.

I program 1) for fun (and work) and because having the source means that I can 2) port it to other operating systems (well, perhaps not the assembler programs as they are), 3) add my own features and 4) make it real *small* (Ah, well, after the last bit I will now unfortunately never get a job at Microsoft). But yes, these programs are as far as I know pretty unique and do what I want them to do. But I doubt that the charging programs are the *best*: I have not tried ABC/LX but judging from the discussions on the list it sounds like a comprehensive and well-made package and probably worth having if one often have to buy new rechargable batteries. Personally I don't have to recharge often so my batteries seem to last forever. Now I hope that keeping the LX cool by only trickle charging will make the LX last forever.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Text prints OK, graphics don't, and its a hassle to go through all those uneccesary steps. You might be interested in a cute work-around that has helped me to "Travel light without overbyte" doing color overheads on the road. I use a HP 340 printer, and I do presentation overheads on it. I use my desktop Powerpoint to print out an empty overhead frame with the company logo and fancy lines and graphics to disk. I then transfer this file to my LX, and print by using the DOS Copy command to the COM port. I thus get a wonderful & colorful overhead template. I then set up my HP340 to print large characters, and print my bulleted points by passing the overhead foil through the printer a second time for B&W text! Hey! Presto! Better looking O/H on the road! To do presentations I have thought out the following: 1) Get a full 1-2-3 v 2.4 for DOS 2) Install EMM 3) Install 1-2-3 on the LX on a Flash Card 4) Use WYSIWYG to create presentations and graphics material 5) Print using a cable until the irda utility can be made to work in DOS My local distributor was quite happy to provide me with the full 1-2-3 s/w, all I ned now is a flash card!

Hi, not me and not with the 'n' key - but my brother who has got a 100LX had much problems with the 'c' key. We opened the keyboard and treated it with pressure-air (I don't know the right word in English - in German it's 'Druckluft' - air out of a spray-bottle!).

Please save this message for future reference, especially if this is the first time you subscribe to an electronic mailing list. If you ever need to leave the list, you will find the necessary instructions below. Perhaps more importantly, saving a copy of this message (and of all future subscription notices from other mailing lists) in a special mail folder will give you instant access to the list of mailing lists that you are subscribed to. This may prove very useful the next time you go on vacation and need to leave the lists temporarily so as not to fill up your mailbox while you are away! You should also save the "welcome messages" from the list owners that you will occasionally receive after subscribing to a new list. To send a message to all the people currently subscribed to the list, just send mail to HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU. This is called "sending mail to the list", because you send mail to a single address and LISTSERV makes copies for all the people who have subscribed. This address (HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU) is also called the "list address". You must never try to send any command to that address, as it would be distributed to all the people who have subscribed. All commands must be sent to the "LISTSERV address", LISTSERV@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU. It is very important to understand the difference between the two, but fortunately it is not complicated. The LISTSERV address is like a FAX number that connects you to a machine, whereas the list address is like a normal voice line connecting you to a person. If you make a mistake and dial the FAX number when you wanted to talk to someone on the phone, you will quickly realize that you used the wrong number and call again. No harm will have been done. If on the other hand you accidentally make your FAX call someone's voice line, the person receiving the call will be inconvenienced, especially if your FAX then re-dials every 5 minutes. The fact that most people will eventually connect the FAX machine to the voice line to allow the FAX to go through and make the calls stop does not mean that you should continue to send FAXes to the voice number. People would just get mad at you. It works pretty much the same way with mailing lists, with the difference that you are calling hundreds or thousands of people at the same time, and consequently you can expect a lot of people to get upset if you consistently send commands to the list address. You may leave the list at any time by sending a "SIGNOFF HPLX-L" command to LISTSERV@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU. You can also tell LISTSERV how you want it to confirm the receipt of messages you send to the list. If you do not trust the system, send a "SET HPLX-L REPRO" command and LISTSERV will send you a copy of your own messages, so that you can see that the message was distributed and did not get damaged on the way. After a while you may find that this is getting annoying, especially if your mail program does not tell you that the message is from you when it informs you that new mail has arrived from HPLX-L. If you send a "SET HPLX-L ACK NOREPRO" command, LISTSERV will mail you a short acknowledgement instead, which will look different in your mailbox directory. With most mail programs you will know immediately that this is an acknowledgement you can read later. Finally, you can turn off acknowledgements completely with "SET HPLX-L NOACK NOREPRO". Following instructions from the list owner, your subscription options have been set to "REPRO" rather than the usual LISTSERV defaults. For more information about subscription options, send a "QUERY HPLX-L" command to LISTSERV@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU. Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can get a list of the available archive files by sending an "INDEX HPLX-L" command to LISTSERV@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU. You can then order these files with a "GET HPLX-L LOGxxxx" command, or using LISTSERV's database search facilities. Send an "INFO DATABASE" command for more information on the latter. This list is available in digest form. If you wish to receive the digested version of the postings, just issue a SET HPLX-L DIGEST command. Please note that it is presently possible for other people to determine that you are signed up to the list through the use of the "REVIEW" command, which returns the e-mail address and name of all the subscribers. If you do not want your name to be visible, just issue a "SET HPLX-L CONCEAL" command. More information on LISTSERV commands can be found in the LISTSERV reference card, which you can retrieve by sending an "INFO REFCARD" command to LISTSERV@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 16 Jul 1998 14:42:18 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "R.

Comments: To: hplx MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit My reply to "hplx " (see end for original post) I don't want to get off on a Rant here, but... ( STOLEN from Dennis Miller Live on HBO ;=> ) Just so YOU know, I am the person who ACCIDENTALLY posted the Phil Hartman quotes to this list while sending them to my friends. What causes me to reply to your post is the accusation of stealing. Does that concern e-mailing the quotes or posting them to the super site? I felt that you must be referring to the super site, although you were not clear on this. If you are referring to e-mailing the quotes, I think that goes too far and sounds rather anal. E-mailing quotes spoken by a personality in public, or lines from a published work ( i.e. speeches by a public figure, famous lines from Shakespeare or Monty Python ) which are clearly attributed to said public figure is not stealing. I am reminded of the court battle over citizens' right to record HBO/SHOWTIME broadcasts in ones home. HBO (etc.) maintained that a person who paid to watch a show did not have the right to record that show and re-view it. The Court said they were wrong, a person has the right to record any show that is played in their house on their television for their personal use. They just can't re-broadcast it for money or royalties etc. Of course, if you mention stealing in reference to Phil Hartman's quotes being included on the super site, I guess you are right. Maybe THAT would constitute intellectual theft of Phil Hartman's intellectual property. Then again, maybe not. A reviewer can put part of someone's works in almost any sort of article and call it a "review." Maybe the Super site should "review" Hartman's "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy" material and include some quotes in its "review." Yeah, I am being facetious, but you get the idea. If they had been put on the site, without being part of a "review", I'll bet Phil, God rest his soul, and his heir's would be just furious and feel monetarily, morally, and artistically cheated that 30 or so of his quotes (which had already been broadcast to millions of viewers over the airwaves) had been plagiarized, stolen, etc. by the nefarious Super Site. Yeah, what a crime. p.s. Let's not start a thread that has nothing to do with HP palmtops. so... I'll just say now that if you agree with me, thanks, Or, if you think I am full of it, you're probably right, and you can e-mail me directly, off of the list, to tell me so.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi there, I recently purchased an expensive !! Windows CE Handheld PC,a HP620 LX,to "replace" my HP 200LX which broke down after many LOYAL INFO YEARS ! Rather late, and with great disappointment because I have found almost nobody, not even Hewlett Packard to provide specific information, I have learnt that Windows CE will NOT support Multiple Databases as my old HP 200 LX machine does. When I say rather late, I mean that NO VENDOR was able to provide concise pre-sales information. By Multiple Databases I mean to be able to browse through my HP 200 LX directory and open a different database. This is my main concern, for I handle a lot of info on different ".pdb " databases: business, friends, music, etc., with enormous flexibility. As far as I have been told the "Contacts" feature in Windows CE, which is a database, will only handle 1 database ! If one tries to download a second one, it will merge it with the first one. I read about Microsoft's ADO CE, a relational database technology for CE's, suited for heavy data work, but I understand ADO is a programmer's tool, and I am an END USER !!! I would appreciate it very much, if anyone would give me some orientation regarding a database software that can be loaded into the HP620 LX to handle multiple databases, emulating HP 200LX more than proficient database handling. Thank you for enlightening replies !!!

Apparently I have to take the lower case apart first. I thought I had seen a web page somewhere describing a fix, but apparently I didn't bookmark it. Is this easy to fix. Is the problem normally in the top or bottom case ? If I press halfway down the left side of the top, the column makes a connection.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit What can I say Andres! You've been had! Like all the other innocent boys and gals who thought that Bill (gates) & Bill (hewlett) together must be a dream team come true! Not so! Evolution goes by leaps and bounds, and if we think in terms of life cycles (like I do as a management consultant) then the evolutionary cycle of palmtop technology has just switched from the differentiated phase (where manufacturers will try to increase the worth of their products to their customers by incorporating novel features) to a mature stage where the manufacturers battle it out providing a common spec, promiting their goods as commodity items rather than novelties, increased competition and eventually lowered prices and 2 or three surviving major manufacturers. In this (bloody!) process no-one really cares about the value to the customer - it has been established in the previous phase, and is now in the hands of the Marketing Boys who will see to it that the majority of potential customers get what they want. Unfortunately, the (silent) majority is seldom "right", "informed" or "smart" - nor do they know what they want or what is good for them. Example: Coca Cola decided to abandon what is now known as "classic" Coke after extensive work by these marketing guys. The Vox Populi jost did not come out strong in support of the characteristics of Classic Coke, and so it was axed. Only then did the public cry out. Good for us the marketing guys at Coca Cola admitted their mistake! Our loss that the marketing guys at HP are not so perceptive! :-( Example 2: Development work at Redmond roughly follows these lines: (Comments in brackets represent Redmond-think.) 1) What does the customer want? (= what has the "enemy" been selling them) 2) How can we satisfy them? (= Can we buy the enemy? Can we incorporate their ideas as the 14th choice in a pull-down menu in one of our products? Can we crush them by giving similar products away for free?) Since Mr. Gates has become the shining star of successfull capitalism - this thought process is enviously copied all over the world. Unfortunately, (IMHO) since he is preaching a pervertet form of capitalism based not on free competition but on a warrior philosophy that views fellow competitors as mortal enemies to be defeated and killed instead of just overtaken and beaten. Groups such as ours represent the avant-garde of palmtop use, and our needs are the future needs of the general public. By neglecting us, they are eventually neglecting their own mass market, and if not corrected that will lead to their demise. ... end of rant! Regarding your 620: Sad to hear that Bill's (Gates) marketing guys did not get your needs right! As you may have gathered from the above, the majority of people canvassed in their marketing research had no idea that more than one database was even needed! Possibly because they targeted their product as an advanced PIM and as a platform for Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook and Word. If braindead versions of those products are not enough for you, you can always dump your 620 and buy a real computer, or wait untill the CE platform evolves into something useful! (Could take a while, though!) Sorry to sound so pissed, but your mail just triggered my frustration with the industry. We have heard on this list testemony to the quality, workmanship and engineering of HP products in times gone by (plotters, HPGL, HP-85/86, HP-41C, etc) and it is sad that this era is no more. But life goes on, and I for one will try to make my voice heard as a promoter of marketing and engineering guided by honest, intelligent thought and aspirations wherever these matters are discussed. > Hi there, > > I recently purchased an expensive !!

Don't worry, I was only kidding. This all reminds me of certain analities on the list when it comes to abandonware. Yep, there are people who would call that post STEALING, but I did it in fun at them. Sorry for the trouble. BTW, for all those that want to know if owning a 200LX includes a license for DOS 5.0...

The problem I am having is media decay causing dirty heads and a drive that won't read 1.2M without cleaning. A 360K drive would probably be a better idea. Identifying old drives for 360 or 1.2M takes a table of drives which can be found in theref43.zip on Simtel (look at the fd_ref*.* files). Arthur Hu wrote: > Argh.

Although flash may be the cheapest I wouldn't discount the possibilty of doing the 32 meg upgrade instead and use your main computer for backups. Once you find out just how convient it is to have the HP doing all your tasks you may decide you want to use the slot for a modem. If I was starting out from scratch again the first thing I would do is get the 32 meg, doublespeed upgrade and a 33.6k modem. (Although I still think its overpriced:)). There's a real advantage to be able to store everything in ram.

You have to tell Debbie there to arrange it this way. They keyboard works great, it's easy to carry around in a pouch, and still a heck of a lot more portable than a laptop, and batteries last a lot longer.

This may not be totally true. I got an email from David on 7/14 saying that they had "about 30" keyboards in stock. Since I thought the same thing about them being out of stock, I had already bought mine from Buycomp.com ($69.95). David was kind enough to supply me with the custom cable and it works quite well. I also got the custom serial cable for the Citizen PN60i at the same time. Mitch S.U.P.E.R.

It's an online auction system that allows you to bid on just about anything. From the home page, go to Computers/Hardware/Portable and do a search on 200lx. I just checked, and there's one available that's bidding at about $111.00. If you're not in a hurry, check back there every few days. I seem to find new 200lx for sale every week or so. You have to register to bid, but it's free. I recently bought a like-new 200lx with manuals and cable for $175.00 (for a backup).

I'm very pleased with it. It's not a belt case (it has no loops or straps) -- it's a form-fitting cover that's meant to be like a second skin for the 95/100/200LX. It's made of black neoprene that's water-resistant and stretchy, and provides enough paddding to protect your palmtop from scrapes and dings. It zips open on three sides and also has a full width zipper pocket. It comes with 4 peel-and-stick Velcro tabs to affix the case to the palmtop whether it is closed or open. They also make a Palmtop Wetsuit 1.0 for the larger HPCs and Zauruses (Zauri?) as well as Notebook Wetsuits for many notebooks (these have straps, and plastic protective plates inside). I recommend this for USD 9.99, and especially for the USD 8.00 price someone mentioned they found it at. >No you can't wear this cover on a belt loop...it doesn't have one. >That's actually one of the things that I like about this cover; it >hardly adds any size or bulk to the 200LX so it will very easily fit >into a coat pocket, thin briefcase, or even a front pants pocket >(temporarily). > >Rick S. > >Al Chin wrote: > > In a message dated 98-07-01 14:32:54 EDT, you write: > > > > >I'm using a cover/case for my 200LX that is made by Kensington Sports. > > >It is called a Stretch-Fit Kensington Palmtop Wetsuit.

Grenert" Organization: Mayo Medical School Subject: Simple Tech 40 MB flash card comments and 1K clusters MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Well, I have had my new Simple Technologies 40 MB ATA flash card for a few days now. It replaced a 20 MB HP ATA flash card (made by Sundisk). The card was recognized instantly by my 200LX. I didn't need any drivers, and the disk was already formatted. I ran the TEST.BAT program from this list (from several months ago) and the result on my 2X speed 200LX was 6.54 seconds. This is quite a bit faster than my 10 and 20 MB Sundisk cards (around 15-17 seconds I seem to recall). The great majority of that time is write time, and for the most part, I can't tell any difference in performance since I almost never save files larger than about 100K. However, if you often save large files (e. g., swap to disk for Software Carousel, compiling, very large databases, etc.), I think you'll notice a difference. For me, the main effect I see is in the delay when I go to Filer. With the Sundisk cards, the delay was about 3 seconds. The S.T. card is about half that. So far, the battery life doesn't seem to be affected either way compared to the other cards. Overall, it works great for me. A request for help: I'd like to reformat the disk to 1K clusters (instead of 4K). However, the 1K cluster program (on SUPER) will only format up to a 32 MB card. Anyone know aworkaround? Is anyone interested in re-writing the program to handle larger cards? I wonder if the limitation is due to the number of clusters the LX can manage. J. P.

Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Carson, Jon A." Subject: Memory upgrades MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Hi, I have a question for the list. I am looking into memory upgrades for my HP200LX - 2 Meg. I have found upgrades at Thaddeus, Marcan, and Times 2 Tech. My goal is to increase the size of my ram disk for the least amount of investment. I think that a 4 meg upgrade will do nicely for my needs. Anything above that looks pretty pricey. I got pricing information from all three sources, and I felt that Marcan had the best memory to price ratio. My questions are: 1. How many of you decided to get the Marcan 4 Meg upgrade. 2. What kind of problems ( if any ) have you had. 3. If you were buying a 4 meg upgrade, which one would you buy ? ( and why ) 4. Are there any other memory upgrade sources I should know about.

Heh heh... no, Mitch is on the up-and-up. He runs the SUPER site, and I've purchased several items from him by sending him a check in anticipation of the merchandise, and he always delivers. The Dictionary raffle isn't a scam, it's just that the American Heritage Dictionary is very hard to find now and there are so many people who would want it that Mitch wanted to make sure everybody got a chance. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 17 Jul 1998 20:57:20 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Antonio Queiroz Menezes Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Antonio Queiroz Menezes Subject: Re: Simple Tech 40 MB flash card comments and 1K clusters Comments: To: "James P.

For what reason are you guys playing with Disk Optimizers? AFAIR, the purpose of a disk optimizer is to put files in one contiguous part on the disk, rather than have them scattered all over the disk. The advantage of this is that the head of the disk doesn't has the move so often to read a file. The head of the disk.... THE HEADS? Hey, the LX200 doesn't has a physical disk at all! For a RAM disk, it doesn't matter at all whether a file is in one conitguous block or not. You can save yourself some valuable RAM by deleting the disk optimizer. That't the only difference I see between an "optimized" and non-optimized LX200! I also wondered when I got my Palmtop why HP puts this BUFFERS=30 statement in the Config.Sys. Same idea. The purpose on regular machines was to "cache" some disk information in RAM, because RAM is faster than a disk. However, the PalmTop has not a real disk, but just RAM. To save information in RAM, to avoid to need to have to read it from RAM is, err, weird...

Some programs, like emm200 (an extended memory manager) requires the diskspace it uses to emulate extended memory, to be contiguous.

Working with David Sargeant, I believe we have narrowed it down to the ISP I use (Netcom). Here is how we figured it out: * I loaded up the enabler and packet driver for my Accton ethernet card then modified the WATTCP.CFG to show a static IP address and the gateway of my Linux server. Everything worked great. * Next, I zipped up my complete LXTCP directory and emailed it to David. Using my exact settings except for my username/password, he connected successfully to accessnv.com (his ISP). * Next, he set up a temporary account for me on accessnv.com and I also made a successful connection from Cincinnati using my settings. * Finally, he is going to test my account on Netcom from Las Vegas and I expect he will find the same problems that I am seeing. Comparing a debug dump for his successful connects to my unsuccessful ones does not turn up anything glaring. Both look almost exactly the same and both have a good PPP connection running. Can anyone shed light on this? It has to be something with Netcom's terminal servers or some anomaly with their network. Could it be my modem init string? I have tried different MRU settings so that's not it. Is there some PPP compression that could be biting me? Does anyone else use LXTCP and Netcom? Sorry for the bandwidth, but this is the world's greatest collection of HPLX experts so if this can't be solved here, it can't be solved. :) Mitch S.U.P.E.R.

Hermann --------------- HP-Palmtops: Formatted Printing Author: Hermann Kellinghaus; March/2/96 ------------------------------- Printing documents directly to a printer usually involves some problem solving, for there aren't many users having a printer which can be connected to the serial interface (RS232 or Infrared) of the palmtop. Often one or several of the following problems are to overcome with 'direct' printing: 1 selecting a printer on the palmtop (in Setup) 2 preparing the document for printing 3 connecting the palmtop to a printer 3.1 direct with a serial cable 3.2 direct with a serial/parallel converter 3.3 via PC as printserver There are some other methods to get a printout of palmtop documents: - printing to a file on the palmtop; transfer of this file to a PC with a Comm-Prgr or on a PC-Card; printout of this file on the PC; - using a connectivity pack (HP or other brand) on a PC. The last method can be accomplished in two ways: either transfer the document to the PC or mount the palmtop drive, which contains the document file. In both cases setup for printing and some other selections have to be done on the PC (f.ex. selection of a smart-clip). These other methods are not covered in this article since they are understood as 'indirect'. The direct methods have an advantage over the indirect methods: After all necessary setups have been done, everything is handled on the palmtop; same procedure - nothing to forget about. Also palmtop macros can ease the job a lot. Now lets have a look at the different problem areas which arise with direct printing: First of all we should dig into the general problem of char handling in documents: Ther are different char-sets: PC-437, PC-850, HP-Roman-8, EPSON-Italic, ... All of these are based on char-codes ranging from 0 to 254 (hexadecimal:00h-1Fh). Char-sets are also called char-tables but are not to be confused with fonts, which define text style (Roman, Sans-Serif, Courir,...) or with printing effects like bold, underlined, italic, condensed, ...). Sometimes its hard not to get confused, because of historical reasons EPSON invented the char-set 'Italic' to manage the printing effect 'italic' - this ist still there today. In this document we are on the DOS level, dealing with pixel fonts for display on the palmtop and pixel fonts buildt into the printer for printout (some printers now have scalable fonts, but thats irrelevant here). In any case these fonts are based on a char-set. If you don't care about, the printer will use defaults for that. On the palmtop you can select between the PC-437 or PC-850 char-sets. (There are some add ons available: see f. ex. KEYBEZ.) At this point we also should clarify the term Escape- or Control-sequence (ESC-S or Ctrl-S for short). Its necessary to control the actions of a device like a printer or terminal; f.ex to set the cursor to the first position of the text line or to move the printers head to the leftmost position, the Ctrl-S 'CR' is used. 'CR' stands for Carriage Return; code 13 (Dh) of the char-set is used for this (for Terminal and printer). 'CR' is a short Ctrl-S; its one of the old fashioned Ctrl-S using codes 0 to 31 of the char-set. Some other Ctrl-S are initiated by 'ESC', which itself has code 27 (1Bh) of the char-set.'ESC' is followed by a certain number of char-codes -the corresponding ESC-S is decoded by the device. Examples: (T = Terminal, PR = Printer) BS = 8 = 8h : Back-Space on T and PR HT = 9 = 9h : Horiz.-Tab on T and PR LF = 10 = Ah : Line-Feed om T and PR Xon = 17 = 11h : SW-Flow-Contrl for serial Comm Xoff = 19 = 19h : SW-Flow-Contrl for serial Comm ESCln = 27 108 nd = 1Bh 6Ch nh : Left Margin at Column n (see below) ESCx1 = 27 120 49 = 1Bh 78h 31h : Letter Qual on - on an EPSON PR ESC-1 = 27 45 49 = 1Bh 2Dh 31h : Underline on - on an EPSON PR ESC(s3B = 27 40 115 51 66 = 1Bh 28h 73h 33h 42h : Bold on a HP Pr Two remarks may be useful: 1. Several EPSON printer commands (ESC-S) use variable parameters, like the n-parameter of the left-margin command. Some of those parameters can be entered as usual characters (f. ex. 0 = 48 = 30h or 1 = 49 = 31h) but others have to be entered as Ctrl-Char, having code 00h to 31h. This is the case for the left-margin command: to set the margin to column eight you must enter ESC l BS = 27 108 8 = 1Bh 6Ch 08h (without spaces). You may enter BS with the BS-key of your keyboard, but this usually will result in deletion of the char left to the cursor; you can try the ÝAlt¨ÝNum-keypad¨ method (ÝAlt¨ÝMenu¨ÝNum-keypad¨ on HPx00LX), but this will have the same result as above (see 3.3 for a solution). 2. Most ESC-S for HP printers are setup of a leading ESC, followed by usual characters - so you don't run into the problems with other Ctrl-characters except for ESC itself. Now we are ready for problem areas 1 to 3: 1. Selecting a printer on the palmtop ------------------------------------- In SETUP there are three printers (actually these are the palmtop printer interfaces) you can select of: EPSON FX-80, IBM ProPrinter, HP Laserjet. In general the first one has the simplest (oldest) the last one a modern (newest) printing concept. FX-80 and ProPrinter are based on EPSON technology whereas Laserjet is ofcourse based on HP printing technology. Now you may wonder about one fact with these printer interfaces: All interfaces apply character conversions - mainly for the characters with codes from 128 to 254. The real bad thing is: you cannot switch this conversion off. So there is no way to send the internal palmtop char table (PC-437 or PC-850) to the printer as is. For the HP-Laserjet table PC-850 is converted to char-table Roman-8, which is the HP-Printer standard. For the IBM-Proprinter all chars above 1Fh are sent as ESC 6h chr-code-h ESC 7h, which switches to chae-set-2 on the printer (usually IBM-Char-Set-2 = PC-850). This printer interface should be used also for modern EPSON printers, for they can behave almost like IBM-Proprinters. For the FX-80, basically you are "loosing a lot of special characters" - they are converted to normal ones. Observe that for the Memo-Editor the palmtop sends printer control codes according to the selected printer interface for bold and underline; TAB is converted to spaces so there is a problem with proportional printer fonts when using TABs. --------------- David Lawrence wrote: > > > I am trying to format a Memo note on my HP200LX and send it via IR to an > > HP printer.

So the camera is connected like modem to the serial IF of the 200LX (no crossing of Send and Receive signals). With that connection I get at least a certain reaction: LX-settings (Comm-Prgr): 9600 Baud, Com1, 8N1, TTY Terminal, no Modem-Init string, no protocol (RTS/CTS, XON/XOFF), local echo After hitting F10 (connect) at the LX, I may have to proceed with Break (Ctrl Menu). Entering a letter (f.ex a) at the LX, I get back a code like f0 or fb or ff (in hex) most of the time, sometimes a usual letter is sent back. If nothing is sent to the camera for a while, it turns off itsself - by sending another letter, it's waking up again. I've tried the file download protocols of the LX Comm-Prgr, but had no success. ----- If I could watch (monitor) the serial port of my PC having the camera connected with the W95/Camera-Connection prgr, I could figure out what has to be sent. Does somebody know such a monitoring prgr for the PC?

I plan to backpack to S.E.Asia this winter Dec-Feb and wonder if anyone would like to meet me along the way. My itinerary is expected to be from Chiangmai in northern Thailand south to Singapore, stoping in Bangkok, Penang, Kuala Lumpur, where ever along the way. I realize that most people will not have three months off to lallygag, but I'd be happy if you can meet me part of the time, part of the way, I can perchance share a few things with you. You can also partake in gemology, cooking, boxing, or massage courses in Thailand. A great (clean safe)room in Thailand cost under $15/night with pool. I would also like to meet some of our list members who live on my route of travel if they have the time. Those of you interested, pls email me directly so we can plan accordingly. I can consider diversions to Burma, Laos, and Vietnam. No, I am not a travel agent.

Why not turn on the high charge in the 200LX and you'll >get 300 mA? Then you'd only have charge 6 hours:). Eeerr, fast charging is 100mA, 45mA slow charging.. I personally set BatSet to 20 hours and leave it at that, it's not going to sit there for nearly that long and besides, it would take nearly that long to fully charge the batteries, and 100mA is much lower than slow charging for these batteries, as fast charging is 1.2A for 1 hour and slow charging is 400mA for 4 hours. That's 1600mA input, I'd imagine at 100mA it would take more like 2000mA input, and that's 20 hours. It's such a slow charge that it shouldn't hurt them either way, and I don't think the palmtop is capabile of charging these batteries internally to their full capacity, mine straight off the adaptor only gets me about 35 minutes on my 14.4 modem, about 5 minutes longer than my high-cap nicads. Someday I'll get a charger and try it, but it's not worth it to swap batteries all the time.. Besides, one time I swapped batteries and for some really odd reason the ram disk was totally munged afterwords so I'm scared to now.. :) -- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.. . .

The other times I've heard of missing internal icons, it was because the user had copied the entire contents of their 100LX to a new 200LX, thereby overwiting the file (I forget which) that had the icon definitions. I think the other case involved a missing ccMail icon. If you comepletely reinitialize your C drive (after saving everything and maybe noting how any of your custom icons were setup), the icon screen that comes up should have LLRemote...then just add your stuff back in. - 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: Sat, 18 Jul 1998 21:53:04 -0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , PALMTOPS@AIRGUNHQ.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List Comments: Resent-From: PALMTOPS@airgunhq.com Comments: Originally-From: jim.henry@airgunhq.com (Jim Henry) From: PALMTOPS@AIRGUNHQ.COM Organization: AirPower Information Services (610) 259-2193 Subject: Re: &More In-Reply-To: -> On a normal 200LX, you can't delete the LLRemote icon from AppMgr. -> The other times I've heard of missing internal icons, it was because -> the user had copied the entire contents of their 100LX to a new -> 200LX, thereby overwiting the file (I forget which) that had the icon -> definitions.

Yes it will. If he answers "Y"es to the "Initialize RAM disk?" question it will also obliterate EVERYTHING on his C: drive!! Why tell him how to "initialize" his C: drive without giving him any warning at all that by doing so he'd loose everything he might have spent as much as a month typing in??

If so, does anybody > know where I can get a 1-MB model? (Maybe used, but in great shape?) Vertical lines are very fixable. Horizontal lines are catastrophic. The vertical line problem is generally trouble with the zebra strips along the top and bottom of the screen. Sometimes they get a little out of alignment, or a little bit of dirt gets in there. In any case, all it needs is a good cleaning and realignment to get it back in shape. The trouble is, it's fairly easy to kill your LCD if you try this and aren't extremely careful... I oughta update the instructions on my web site soon with instructions on how to do this. Alternatively, Thaddeus will repair it for $125. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 19 Jul 1998 13:22:33 -0300 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Alejandro Paz Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Alejandro Paz Subject: Re: Dying screen?

The elastomer is a concatenation of metal (conducts electricity) and plastic (a polymer called elastomer) piceces. This materials have different dilatation coefficients, thus at lower temperatures they (may be) have the same heigh, and at higher temps (lower : around 32F, higer >50F) the plastic have a heigh greater than the metal by dilatation effect. I have a 48SX with this problem. A good solution, change the elastomer, but find the right may be difficult. The controoler chips and the screen may be in a good state, you ca try moving the elastomer in the x axis (x is the longer direction of the elastomer), mey be work. good luck -------------------------------------------- ***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, 19 Jul 1998 09:38:35 -0700 Reply-To: btorbik@earthlink.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bernard Torbik Subject: Re: Simple 40 MB flash card and 1K clusters Comments: To: al chin In-Reply-To: <19980719.073850.8974.1.hobchi@juno.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Interesting.

Sorry for being a little cryptic ... you must surely know about the problem with little missing vertical pixel lines along the left side of the screen which come back sometimes with careful prodding along the edges. Well, too many damn missing pixel lines made me give up the (hplx) ghost. Yah, could've repaired it, but took the opportunity (i mean "excuse") to buy a new one.

We've been fortunate thus far in having capable programmers in our midst to give us a lease on life in that regard. Even if someone is willing to take up the mantle of developing a robust OCR package for DOS/LX (ie not one that garbles 1/2 the text and runs slower than you can type), given the demands it would make on the processor, I can only foresee doing this on my desktop anytime soon, or on any other palmtop (shudder) with sufficient horsepower and developer support.

I just copied my c:\ drive over to the a: drive, removed the card (paranoia?), and did the operation. I then compared the files in the new c:\_dat directory. After looking at the appmgr.dat file, I noticed part of it was garbled. So, when restoring files, I didn't restore that one. I use Smmx for all extra exm, com, and exe files, and that cfg file remained intact, so all I had to retype was the smmx stuff. Everyone was correct; when I moved to the 200LX from the 100LX, I just copied everything over (PEBCAK again). One other thing I've noticed: when going to Sysmgr from DOS the first time, I typed '100', which was my former way of doing it (autopilot). I was suprised to see that it worked! Not taking offense at the term 'novice user', I had a 95LX when they first came out (about 3 years), a 100LX for about 4 years, and now a 200LX - I am somewhat of a novice when it comes to programming and DOS basics, I know just enough to be dangerous (obviously)!

Have you checked out ExmBatch (available on SUPER or at my web site). It puts an EXM wrapper around a dos command.

Olympus delivers such > programs for Wind95 and for the MAC, but not for DOS. Use READ.EXE written by Mr. Mamoru Terauchi. Mr.Kazuhiko Shinozawa is the original author of the program for Linux platform. Mr.Terauchi ported it to DOS. Download it from his homepage. http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~mp4m-truc/ In case you have difficulty to read Japanese pages, the program is at http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~mp4m-truc/digicame/rxx_com1.lzh Package contains four executables: READ.EXE for 19200bps RX2.EXE for 38400bps RX3.EXE for 57600bps RX6.EXE for 115200bps It works on pure DOS and reads images from a digital camera (Camedia family) connected to COM1. Usage: read.exe Ý-f xx -t yy¨Ý-T¨ -f and -t : frm xx-th frame to yy-th frame. If this option is not used, all the images are transfered. -T : Read thumbnail images only. (This option overrides -f and -t options). Normal images are saved as pic?????.jpg, where ????? is a serial number starting from 00001. Thumbnail images are saved as thumb???.jpg. Images are stored in the current directory. If a file with the same name exists, READ skips this frame. Mr Jun-ichiro Ito (itojun) reports that this program work with digital cameras from SANYO, EPSON and AGFA, which uses the same LSI as a controler. See his report at: http://www.itojun.org/itojun.html Tips for its usage on the HP200LX: o Use READ.EXE (19200bps) or RX2.EXE (38400bps). RX3.EXE (57600bps) or RX6.EXE (115200bps) is for a PC more powerfull than the HP200LX. o This program does not works with TSR which hooks timer interrupts. such as Battlog created by Mr.GAOGAO. Please do not load such programs. o This program requires large memory area. Use with pure DOS, preferably without config.sys nor autoexec.bat. The author found MaxDOS still not sufficient. o Please disable the light sleep. If the HP200LX goes into light sleep during the data transfer, it surely hangs the system.

The first OCR I saw on a desktop would have been about 1987 or so. I can't remember whether the product or the company was called "ReadRight" but it ran on an HP Vectra (8MHz 80286 with 640KB RAM, 40MB HD, EGA display), ran under MS-DOS in text mode, and talked to an attached HP ScanJet (original) so did whole pages. My recollection is that it was not particularly robust or fast. It worked best on clean copies of documents printed with 12-point Courier at 10 characters per inch, and in this case was a good deal faster than retyping. But changing any of those conditions degraded the OCR quality with a resulting substantial increase in time required for manual correction after the OCR step. -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, 20 Jul 1998 10:17:30 EDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , CSchlim@AOL.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Cathy Schlim Subject: Re: Great cover for the 200LX Comments: To: wdlb5359@GLAXOWELLCOME.CO.UK Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit In a message dated 98-07-20 05:18:17 EDT, you write: << It looked just the thing, I want a case that will save the LX every time I jump out of the car and drop it out my jacket pocket onto the tarmac. >> It will NOT do that...in fact, nothing will short of one of those things students dream up to protect an egg when they drop it from a roof!

In any case, a DOS 5.0 disk driver should have a FAT, and as DOS 5.0 only supports up to 16 bit FAT, maximum number of sectors will be little less than 65536. About the special write handling required by flash memory, the situation is different in linear flash cards and ATA flash cards. Linear flash cards are just that. They appear as memory, which needs a driver to do something with it (possibly addressing it as a logical drive). ATA flash cards are seen by the BIOS driver just as hard disks. This means it thinks it can write to a single sector and it does. It's the ATA controller in the flash card which actually handles read/writes in a much more complex way. For example, flash memory suffers from tear. This means that memory cells will die after a determinate number of write cycles. The controller maps logical sectors to phisical flash with an special algorithm that spreads writes equally all along the memory space. Otherwise, certain more often used sectors like directory or FAT ones would die very soon, while sectors at the end of the disk would remain almost fresh. This means that, say, if sector N belongs to the a directory which is usually modified, though for the BIOS sector N will always be addressed as N, internally, in the flash memory, that sector will be moving and using different memory areas on each write. Of course, some sort of translation table will be required in order to go from 'N' to the actual location of that sector, and that table will be very often written to, so the problem arises again... as you see, embedded algorithms in ATA flash cards are quite complex. The controller also maps out all dead sectors so they're no longer used and doesn't even appear to the BIOS driver. Regards.

Subject: STSOrbit, wakes up palmtop? MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit I mentioned a few days ago (I think?) about my palmtop refusing to turn on one day, and then I realized it was because the batteries were so low it couldn't fire up. So I plugged it into the AC and it turned right on, luckily it had not lost data. Perhaps I could replace the backup battery though, wouldn't hurt. Anyway, I remember I was running STSOrbit (and had turned off the palmtop with it running on the map screen) but didn't think anything of it, until I woke up this morning, opened the palmtop, and I was looking at STSOrbit's screen.. I didn't turn it on! So I'm thinking STSOrbit is waking the palmtop up somehow, anyone else noticed this? The simulation time seemed to be about 4 hours behind local time, so I'm assuming that when turned off the simulation time isn't increased and that the palmtop was off for 4 hours before it woke up, as I was asleep around 7 hours. My (NiMH) batteries were fresh last night, 2.37 (Low) this morning.. Perhaps a good test would be start up STSOrbit, go into the tracking map, leave it for a few hours (turned off, no AC.. :) and check on it periodically.. But I'm pretty sure that it's happening now, but not absolutely sure it's because of STSOrbit. And it's not an alarm, because I (unfortunately) don't receive any alarms under a DOSShell shell, they all pop up when I reenter SysMgr. Thanks!

Other extras included the RJ11 Extension in the type III PCMCIA card size, Software Carousel, and The battery charging software from the makers of WWWLX. This has TOTALLY put paid to my idea of getting a laptop. What would I ever want to lug one of those around for anyway. I am tied to a Pentium with Windows NT all day developing applications, I don't need it when I go home. I purchased the internal memory upgrade, speed upgrade and software off Thomas Rundel of Rundel Datentek and the modem, PCMCIA memory off Bernie from Shore Systems. I would recommend both of these companies for any palmtop purchases. I beleive both frequent this list. I think the only thing missing is WWW/LX, but seem to be dragging the chain on that one. I use the card as a backup for the palmtop, and am now so much more happy, knowing that the most valuable part of the data is immediately retrievable. The Simple Tchnology card is super FAST. I have not officially timed it, but to move the whole 32mb on to it took only around two minutes. Now, I only back up what files have the archive attribute, and the backup is done in seconds. I can and do do it every day. MUST NOT forget to take the card out though :-) If you have enough memory available, I HIGHLY recommend Software Carousel for the Palmtop. I have 6 Full size Work areas set up, taking 3mb. These are all the applications I run every day. I could even re-map a lot of the keys in one session to make a DOS application use the menu key, and moved all keys neccessary for email reading to the top right hand corner for one handed email reading while on the Lundon Underground every morning and afternoon. Another 1.5 hours time per day regained for productive use.

NEW LIFE FOR DOS http://www.anchordesk.com/a/adt0720ba/2324 I've seen the future, and it's DR-DOS. Call me crazy. Call me worse. But Caldera has sold 3,000,000 copies of this OS of yesteryear and repositioned it into a market that's 10-times larger than the PC market. Come to the site and discover where, why and how DR-DOS is taking over. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Starting to see why this market could explode in the next five years? Consider what Caldera has added to DR-DOS. A graphical Web browser that can run on a 40 Mhz 386 with just 4 MB of RAM ODI-based networking Multitasking TCP/IP, HTTP and FTP POP3 and SMTP Year 2000 support Power management Compression (can turn a 4 MB Flash ROM into 8 MB) This is not your father's disk operating system! Features like these explain why DR-DOS has real benefits to hardware and software makers who want to attack the "embedded systems" market. It's a tremendously compact way to access the Internet, especially when compared with Windows CE. And it's a robust, tested system with hundreds of proven tools and thousands of experienced programmers. With this in mind, here are four areas where DR-DOS has a chance. In order of likelihood: Refurbished computers. Older 386 and 286 computers still use DOS. Caldera's DR-DOS can give them a browser so they can be used to surf the Net. Bonus: Some great games still run on DOS. This is an obvious, easy market for DR-DOS, but not one that has growth potential. Embedded systems. DR-DOS has lots of advantages here, but it also has dozens of competitors. Company executives claim they will soon announce "big-name" partnerships for set-top boxes, smart phones and airline entertainment. We'll see. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cheers to DOS !

They are recognised by win95 and work correctly. They have one type III slot in the rear of the computer (part of the isa card). There is no documentation on the board regarding io address or irq, I guess I was lucky it did conflict with anything. It seems to have hard wired jumpers in one place. They use a Vadim chip that win95 refers to as PCIC controller. The only identifying mark is the copyright: (c) 1996 SCM GmbH SMMCDR31 They also have sockets for a remote (floppy drive bay) mounted socket but that doesn't come with them. Haven't tried a memory card or whatnot, they should work at least in win95. I bought mine for use with a wireless pcmcia card. Pete Peter W.

In fact my batteries are charging as I write this and while I would characterize them as warm, it hardly seems "nearly too hot to touch". You may want to email your concern to Mack about this. Others have also noted a lot of heat during the recharge of NiMH batteries and while I've had mine for several months, I've not noticed any other problems as a result, and I charge in the LX regularly using ABC/LX as you do. If you're measuring the usage time (of 3.3 hours) using ABC/LX, that does seem a bit short. The time is dependent on how much you actually use the LX. If for example, you hardly opened it in days, the time counter would not increment, but the speed crystal would continue to draw power nonetheless resulting in a lower usage time before having to recharge. I get somewhat better times on the average, but when I was using the LX during classes to compile and take notes, it was operating continuously and my times went up to 5-6 hours. The increased power needs of the 2x crystal is its major shortcoming, and the sole reason I switched to NiMH. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 20 Jul 1998 22:44:12 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: Palmtop crashes.

They stopped after I discontinued SC. With all the new variables on your system, I'd suggest that that'd be a good place to start. Are you using the cic100 modem driver? Your choice there, as with any TSRs you load could also be a cause. I believe the combination of cic100 and SC was one of the killer combos. - 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, 21 Jul 1998 08:39:23 -700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Constant Brouerius van Nidek Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Constant Brouerius van Nidek Subject: Subject: Weather On Jul 17, Jeff Johns wrote >This isn't exactly LX related but does anyone know of an email service that >automatically emails weather info daily?

I can't disable cursor tracking at all using the Dispctl Dos utility written for the 200LX in D:\bin. I close all applications, go to Dos and in the D:\bin drectory I write the command Dispctl -C and press enter but the cursor still flashes on and off?? As a test, I entered Dispctl - K to try disabling the cursor movement key as in page 25-9 of the 200LX manual. That worked in Dos in that you can press the "menu" key and scroll up and down with the arrow keys but it didn't work in Info Select at all. I'm wondering if I've got something in my Autoexec.bat file that's overriding disabling cursor tracking but I can't see anything obvious. Or perhaps something else I'm not aware of is overriding the disable cursor tracking command? As an avid user of IS I'd really like to pick up on this valuable tip but one concern - surely if you make the cursor dissapear, it'll be difficult to edit windows all of a sudden as you need the cursor visible to do that. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious but I've spent hours trying this without success!

Let me know if you need PRINT from DOS 5.0. Other alternative is to use COPY, but I understand there's some problems with the XON/XOFF protocols using the serial port. I also have a collection of utilities from Stefan Peichl (of LXPIC fame), one of which is called print.com and does a copy to the serial port with the correct protocol handling. I couldn't find it on the SUPER site.. I may have gotten it from his web/ftp site long ago (never used it myself).

If you want synchronize with desktop information you'll have to have Info Select for Windows ver 1.0 (ver 1.0 uses the same data format as IS for DOS). New versions require you to use a newer format and I don't think the newer version will write in the older formats (but I could be wrong). One of the problems you'll have to deal with in IS for DOS compared with the later Windows version is that the you'll have to get a memory driver if you want stacks larger than 100K. Also I recommend some sort of task switcher like Software Carousel to work with IS. That way you can get the HP to automatically switch back from IS to the appointment book for alarms. What Micro Logic will charge you for this I have no idea. I think they charged me $40 for the DOS version but I was a first time user.

Actually, in voice transmissions, there are two numbers: 1st readability (1-5), 2nd signal strength (1-9). In CW tranmissions (morse) there is a third one: Tone Quality (1-5). I guess that the military CW-ops omit the signal strength (you need a meter for that and light to see it) and just give the two other numbers, which are the most important anyway. 5x5 would then mean that it is the best possible signal.

The problem was that since the beginning, I've run Info Select as an icon from the system manager topcard screen. It seems that changes made to the cursor tracking in Dos won't "stick" when you open Info Select from the System manager. However, opening it from the Dos prompt (Ctrl + 123) made the cursor tracking disable stick. But I found that to run IS from the Dos prompt, I first had to allocate more memory to Dos from setup (I used 270K) as the default Dos memory allocation is not enough to run IS. Of course, running IS from Dos after terminating all applications devotes maximum memory to it but you can't open the built - in 200Lx applications that way and I like to use IS and the appointment book together. Finally, I came across 2 IS help files ythet David Hart sent me last May and today I copied David's approach of creating a .bat batch file to disable cursor tracking and load IS from the System manager Dos prompt. Thx again publicising what is one of the most excellent tips I've come across for IS and thanks to David Hart for his help also.

Thank you to Al, Longden, Frans and everyone else who responded to my palmtop crashes question, and the Battery heating question. It appears that The palmtop crashing is due to the fact that I loaded the CIC driver in one of the Software Carousel Work Areas, and not in the Autoexec.bat. The overheating thing is still a problem. It doesnt always get so hot as it did just before posting the question. I let it go for a day, and charged in the palmtop last night with the unit open, and standing on its end.

SysMgr (actually AppMgr) assumes the icon is in the same directory as for the executable you enter in "Path" and has the same filename, but with the .icn extension. The up/down arrow lets you alternatively choose one of the other pre-defined icons. There's also a trick that would allow you to have the icon in a different directory than the executable. You'd just enter a bogus executable name in "Path", but with the directory path of the icon. Then jump to "Icon" to pickup the correct icon, and finally jump back to "Path" and put in the real pathname/filename of the executable. The first icon you chose "sticks" even tho you change the executable name. The "Avi" maneuver . - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 22 Jul 1998 10:06:57 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , barrym Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: barrym Subject: Re: Zip Drives Comments: To: Dennis Bell In-Reply-To: <3.0.5.32.19980710175607.0081d540@elmer.wrq.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Fri, 10 Jul 1998, Dennis Bell wrote: > I have recently purchased a SPARQ parallel port drive > (1 GB removeable) for attachment to various computers > I use around town. > > Originally I thought there might be a chance that it would work > with the LX through a parallel port card, but when I tried > connecting an old, old laptop, I found that the unit requires > a 286 computer (just like the instructions state). I looked at the Sparq the other day and the box said it needed a 386 or better. The zip drive requires a 286 or better but will run fine on the 200lx with the correct parallel card.

This is better than having to load another word processor or using 123 as one. I made a template with Memo and saved it as an ASCII file (I haven't tested to see if that's absolutely necessary). I want to write notes on my HP200LX when I round on patients in the hospital. With Memo I can put in a Date and Time field to automatically stamp my note when I print it. Using the escape codes (Laser Jet Unlimited by Nace and Gardner is invaluable) I can format my note with any of the fonts on the laser jet, making for impressive output. I've since saved the escape character as a file (ESC.TXT) which I can import into other files in the future if needed. The next step is to make a macro to update my notes each day, and possibly tie it in to my database I sue to keep track of patient visits for billing : ) Stan Peters wrote: > You were was asking how to get printer initialization > strings into text files using MEMO.

This doesn't always work, but try it anyway: Open up an Explorer window after you have inserted the card. Now click down in the tray and deactivate the card. Now reinsert the card with that same Explorer window open. This usually makes the flash card's drive letter pop into view for me. It should show up right after the computer beeps to acknowledge the card. Mitch S.U.P.E.R.

Hello all LXers, I don't have a HPLX as of now, but familiar with it. I also has an IBM PC/XT 5160, so I can appreciate your software efforts. I run across an ad in an older BYTE issue, by Contec USA. at that shows a PCMCIA to ISA BUS expansion kit. I wonder if we could use it. That would put an end to "SCSI available?" "real hard drives, anyone" questions. I can imagine a HP200LX unit with 2x, 128MB and RAID controller, HPGL card, Data acquisition, ISDN, 3 LPT, 4 RS232 ports, Ether- net, Tokenring, joystick and soundcard in bus expansion chassis. It could also allow use of the old IBM XT/370 kit (3 ISA cards) so HPLX would have 3 OSs: MS-DOS 5.0, Minix, OS/370. Cool. Reality: 80186 CPU a problem? 150mA from PCMCIA socket too low? Hornet proprietary scheme? What are the chances? I have an old IBM 5161 expansion chassis at home and indeed the general idea of bus expansion does work. It would also be perfect for prototypeing, as the host PC/XT can boot; no matter if the cards in the chassis short circuit, keep pulling a line, etc. I was happy to see posts on available DOS freeware for Olympus, Casio, etc. digital camera downloads. Is there such a thing for the Apple Quicktake's? I have access to an old Apple Qtake 100 camera, a 1994 vintage; but even that requires a Win3.1/386 PC. Also uses serial port (up to 57,6kbps) but Olympus/Casio SW does not seem to work. This oldie can take only 8 pics at 640x480, and has little settings control; but picture quality is great. It is also the most rugged camera, with binocular-style shape and hard plastic. Safe to wear when biking, hiking. Thanks for the attention, Sincerely Yours: Tamas Feher. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 22 Jul 1998 14:35:55 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Laurence Harvey Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Laurence Harvey Subject: Re: Switching to Digest...

Hello all I just an hour ago lost the memory in the 2mb drive. I let the batteries run down too far, and had a backup set that was (I later found out) DEAD. I put them in, and the palmtop would still not work. I had to sit on the train for the rest of the journey trying to think how much work I had lost since the last backup. When back home and on the AC power supply, I reset the plamtop with Ctrl+ Shift+On to get it to turn on. After getting through the initial boot up questions, and transferring the files from the Flash RAM card to the 2mb drive with the garbled screen (no speed driver), I rebooted again. To my complete surprise, the 32mb drive was completely in tact. Not one piece of data was lost! This was very convenient, as I only keep the neccessary boot files, and a small backup zip file (for on the run backup) on there. I have only 5 days ago taken delivery of a Flash ram card for backups, so that was amazingly good timing. Well anyway, I have heard of the 32mb surviving a battery outage before, and I have mine to add to it. Thanks for a great product Mack (Times 2 Tech)!

Convenience. I'm doing the best I can to not let the care and feeding of my LX take over my life. Swapping batteries and the worries of breaking the battery door didn't seem like a productive use of my time or energy. You may be right about the heat not being good for the chips. But my wife will testify that I'm pretty rough on my toys. If they break under usage that I consider normal (for me), then I'd rather not be using it. That my LX has lasted this long with all my abuse makes it second only to my wife in resilence .

Let's face it. You are charging with 100mA, right? This means that IF the batteries convert the ENTIRE current into heat (so not building up a charge at all) that about 300mW (3 Volts * 100 mA) of heat is generated. 300 milliWatt isn't going to produce a hell of a heat. On the other hand, there is also a charging circuit. If you feed the LX with 12Volts, this means that the charging circuit must get rid of 9 volts, by 100ma, which produces 900mW of heat (no matter whether the batteries are building up charge or not). If your AC adapter produces 15 volts (like most do), then 1.2 Watt of heat is generated. Apart from the charge current, the LX uses current by itself. So, with a too high input voltage, it is easy to produce 2 Watts of heat. And this is too much! So, I advice to measure two things: 1) the adaptor voltage. It has been described in this mailing list that 9 volts is enough to feed the HP. So reduce the input voltage if it is more. 2). check how much current the palmtop draws while charging the batteries. If the battery is charged like intended with maximally 100mA, the palmtop shouldn't consume more than 150mA. If it is more, it indicates that something is defective, possibly the charging circuit is feeding the batteries with much more current.

The battery charging circuit in a 200LX uses a Maxim IC intended for such a purpose. This IC is based on a switching regulator that is about 80% efficient. Thus a charging current through the battery of, to pick a number, 100mA, will draw in the range of 125mA AVERAGE. It may have higher peaks when it is "switching", but when it is not switching the current is ZERO; hence the value is usually stated as an average. My advice, for what it is worth, is get it fixed, soon, by a capable technician. This level of heat dissipation is *not* normal. To state the obvious, something is wrong. At best, you may lose the ability to recharge batteries within the LX. At worst, the LX may cease to function. --- NET: steve.spelbring@plexus.com | Plexus Technology Group VOX: 920.751.3274 | http://www.plexus.com FAX: 920.720.6707 | NASDAQ: PLXS -------------------------------------------- ***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, 23 Jul 1998 08:28:20 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Phil Drummond Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Phil Drummond Subject: WARNING, Potentially stupid idea to follow...

The original poster said his LX "gets so hot that it is nearly too hot to touch" and that has not been my experience with the same kind of batteries (tho I don't know what kind of charger he has). Despite my recent postings about my preference for low-maintenance, problems of this sort should be dealt with ASAP, especially if the warranty period may be still in effect (I believe his was a recent upgrade). - 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, 23 Jul 1998 07:14:15 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Longden C.

To do this, you start it like this: www -1 -d !post.exe In debug when messages are downloading, you see a "+" for a successful packet send/receive and a "-" for a failure or retry. I switched my DTE speed to 38400 to compensate for the speed of the new modem and I run a double-speed machine. When downloading large email attachments, I am seeing this: ++-++-++-++-++- instead of the desirable: +++++++++++++++ For every two good packets, I get a retry and these retries show up as stalls in the file download as the byte count ticks off. I would have thought the double-speed unit could handle this extra throughput. Can anyone duplicate this behavior?

This would permit the LX to query databases whose record counts exceed the capability of the built-in app. And since the .dbf format is widely used, convertors already exist to help build the databases from various sources. I found a freeware viewer called DBV123.ZIP on Simtel that's 57k and does searches, but doesn't sort or do subsets. A PAL app would be ideal. In fact, if DBV (on the SUPER site) worked on .dbf files it would be close. Suggestions welcomed. Seems like this has been discussed before and many people mentioned running dBase or PCFile. I already have dBase-3, but it seems like overkill for simple db viewing and queries.

The HP does not get hot when you charge the batteries only warm. Out of the book the maximum voltage of the AC adapter should be 14.4 volts. The nominal (safest) voltage should be 12 volts. This means the highest voltage it can operate at is 14 volts but it should have 12. Check the AC and make sure it is no higher than the maximum of 14 if it is replace it. If it still gets so hot you can't touch it have your 200LX serviced. You have a problem with your charging circuit!

Has anybody else noticed this ?. Seems quite strange, because I just can't imagine what has the doublespeed driver to do with virtual drives created by JAM. Notice that the hangup happens when the SPD31.SYS driver is loaded before, this is, when all system timings are CORRECT, while there is no problem when SPD31.SYS is loaded after, which means that at the time JAM.SYS loads and initializes, all system timings are INCORRECT.

I bought an HP200LX from her a few weeks ago. The only surprise to me was that she is in Korea, and naturally enough the HP200LX has a Korean keyboard. As far as I can tell it is a standard keyboard with a series of Korean characters that you access via some strange combination of CTRL-ALT-whatever keys that I haven't figured out yet. She told me that the first machine she had for sale (the one I bought) was her own personal one, but that some of her HP200LX-owning friends are now asking her to sell theirs on the web too. If it's a line, it's a new one on me.....and, like I said, I got my HP200LX from her and I have no complaints. Jeremy P.S. How easy is it to replace a Korean keyboard mask with a standard one? I read somewhere that the template is attached to the rest of the keyboard assembly.

Since LXers recharge at Yes. Well, let me explain it a little more. I don't know whether the problem I'm aware of is the so called "memory effect" and whether this problem still exists with todays batteries. There is a problem however: During the charge cycle, the battery converts some chemicals into other (solid) chemicals. The solid material consists of crystals (just like sugar). Initially, the crystals are very small. If the battery is discharged, the crystals are converted again. However, if the battery is not completely discharged, some crystals remain, and during the next charge cycle, instead of the formation of new crystals, the old crystals grow (just like with sugar and snow). There are two problems with larger crystals, one is that the same mass has less surface, and it is the surface which is doing the work if current is demanded from the batteries. The second problem is that the crystals may eventually become so large that they penetrate the isolation, and that the battery short-cuts itself. (The trick here is to discharge a high-voltage condensator over the battery to burn out the short-cut, but it is better to prevent it). There are several ways to avoid the formation of larger crystals: 1) Discharge the battery competely before charging it. You don't have to do it everytime, but doing it once in a while is sufficient to protect your batteries. 2) Don't overcharge the batteries. Especially long term trickle charge is known to cause this problem. (and even "fast charge" on the HP is with higher capacity batteries actually just a trickle charge). 3) Apply heavy charge or discharge currents on the battery. Unfortunately, we can not control the charge rate. 100mA is a little bit to small. Secondly, we can not really control the discharge rate either, unless you are using a modem. So there is a real danger of loosing capacity in the batteries over some time. NiHM batteries almost don't suffer from the problems mentioned above, but they have problems of their own. NiHM batteries are very sensitive to overcharging, and this is a real danger in the HP200LX. Secondly, NiHM batteries have a higher internal resistance, which means in practice that they are less able to produce larger currents, like you need for highspeed modems. In practice this means that the "internal resistor" in the battery converts some charge into heat, and the higher the current, the less the capacity seems to be. This matches with the observation of some people in the list here that if they are using modems that the NiHM batteries don't keep up longer than their smaller NiCd brothers. My advice: if you are using a decent charge protocol like delta-U (I haven't seen an implementation for the HP yet (no, also not ABC/LX)) and not using high-current devices too often, go for the NiHM batteries. If your charge protocol is poor and you are using high current devices often, go for the higher (800 mAh) capacity NiCd's.

The external shape of the plug is HP-propietary and if you want a perfect plug you would have to purchase the conectivity cable from HP. But this would be a quite expensive plug. Notica that the pins in the HP200LX are just standard ones with 2mm spacing . All you need is a double row 10 pin piece of female connector of this spacing. They're sold in long rows than can be cut to te appropiate size. But at least here, 2mm spacing is very rare and thus hard to find.

Some chargers can push this voltage higher, but I am not sure how this would affect the chemistry of the batteries. I suspect that HP uses a switching power supply, according to the effeciency levels I have seen on the list. If the efficiency is higher then less heat is produced by the power supply. Also,.... the nicads won't produce significant heat until they are topped off.....at which point most of the energy is used to produce heat instead of charge. As you can see, there are several factors in determining the heat output. > Jorgen > ----------------------------------------------- jacarson@addcoinc.com ___..---'~~~`---..___ .-=========================- _______________/ :.::..-~--..___..---~~~' (___________(_||_)____/ /____/___:..::.:::. / NCC-1701 D \_________/ "Engage" ----------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- ***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, 23 Jul 1998 19:35:59 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Mitchell Hamm Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mitchell Hamm Subject: Re: Another speed question MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable 04h21m06s ago ...

Those who are working in the electronics industry believe that circuits can live happily in temperatures which are not comfortable for humans. Humans and chips are different things. The chips in your audio amplifier, your microwave oven, the chips in satellites, computers, etc. all get pretty heat, and failure is almost never due to heat. >_If_ charging at 100mA _can_ be harmful for the LX, then ABC/LX may be >good for the (relatively cheap) batteries but not for the (expensive and >soon irreplacable) LX. In this respect: when the LX was designed, >NiCd batteries were probably around 3-400mAH. Around 600mA, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that still for these batteries HP designed the LX for charging with 100mA. By default, it charges for 6 hours with 100mA. (This gives an almost full charge with 600mA batteries). If the HP can charge for 6 hours with 100mA, it can also do it for 12 hours.

This is always a concern but I wonder how well the expensive calculators like the 48 sell. Thats a very specific market yet they keep making and selling them and probably turning a profit. There's a heck of a lot of 200LX users and people will always need a small dos based computer. > > As I understand it: the conclusion is that some believe that the > circuits can live happily in extreme temperatures and some believe that > any heat can be harmful. The operting tempuature is 0-50 degrees C. The maximum internal "rule of thumb" for IC's like the hornet is 150 degrees C. Operating is 70 degrees C. (These are just "estimates" its been a while and I don't have data sheets!) Its usually higher for IC's like switching regulaturs and voltage regulaturs. I doubt the little bit of heat from a properly operating charging circuit will hurt them. If people are really concerned about it they could open up the 200LX and put a heat sink (if theres room) on the critical chips.

As soon as the batteries are full....they will start to heat up. Heat is very bad for rechargable batteries. If your LX gets real warm when charging, it could be that one of the cells is defective and the non-defective one is being forced to deal with the additional charging voltage.

Perchance STRENGTH OF MATERIALS gets involved >in here somewheres? Come on! We are talking about heat development! Don't you think that after 6 hours of operating the maximum temperature has already been reached since a long time? It doesn't get any hotter anymore after 6 hours. And if it is designed to deliver 100mA for 6 hours, it can also do it for years. Apart from this, I have *never* heard anyone who burned out his 200LX due to charging the batteries. How many of us are using rechargables? Heat problems? Logic is against it, common sense is against it, and the experience of thousands of 200LX users is against it. With 100mA by 12 volts you are putting 1.2 Watts in the HP (Watt is Volt * Amperes). 1.2 Watts! Doesn't sound as a terrible heat source, eh? Add to this that silicon devices suffer no harm by continues operation at 150 Celcius (dunno in Fahrenheit but water boils at 100 Celcius), and that you hardly can reach such a temperature with 1.2 Watts. Don't forget also that solder starts melting at around 200 Celcius, and that the components inside the HP are soldered and thus have been exposed to at least 200 Celcius, without suffering damage. If you heat the 200LX up, the plastic case starts melting long before the hardware gives up! I have built a 100 Amp (!) 12 Volt powersupply years ago, and it is in 24 hours of operation per day. An internal FAN keeps the heatsink down to 75 Celcius. If it gets colder, the FAN shuts off. The components on the heatsink have a higher temperature than the heatsink itself of course. And they are operating already for years, without any problems or failures. Note, I'm talking about a correctly working 200LX. If it is malfunctioning and pulls 2 Amperes or something, then you can destroy it. But in that case the device needs service anyway, like any malfunctioning device.

In Phoenix, AZ, it is a different story. I moved to LA before Fry's moved to Phoenix. I asked people out here where to get electronics and parts. They said Fry's. I was confused as in Phoenix Fry's is a grocery store chain and that was all I knew. I went to my first Fry's in San Fernando Valley and I thought I was in Dizneyland (did not want to infringe) because the place was decorated in Alice in Wonderland with the entrance falling down the rabbit hole. The tables are giant mushrooms!!! It is great. I have since been to 3 others. In Burbank it is space with a giant flying saucer crashed through the front of the building, the checkout being an old dinner and the army fighting aliens arround the diner. In Long Beach it is Roman Ruins with a watterfall even if I remember correctly. So when I went to Phoenix and found that they had moved into what was The Incredible Universe (I think that was what it was called) I went to see it and was shocked. Dark, dim, warehouse without any style. Hard to read things on the boxes as the lights are sooooo poor. They gutted the old store which was terible and did nothing to improve what was leff!!! It is no wonder my friends in Phoenix hate Fry's Electronics while I love them.... my 2 cents Dan Carrington Bernard Torbik wrote: > You've described Fry's here in LA perfectly, Conrad.

The Doc says: "FreeCell seems very difficult at first, but almost every game can be won." So far I believe that; I've won all my 233 games since the latest version allowed me start saving my place in the middle of a game. Liberal use of Undo and an occasional Restart allow me to defeat the toughest games (so far...). I've encountered a couple of really difficult ones but most aren't too bad and a couple could even be called easy. The only thing I wish it had was a game number so certain games could be repeated by starting them with a random number seed. Then I could challenge the other players here with games I thought especially good. Cheers...

As the agreement is over 10 pages of legal jargon, I'm not inclined to read it (despite being a law student).

I dont have much hope left, so this is my last attemt to get help with this problem that I have. I am using Ericsson DC23 PCMCIA cellular modem with my hp200lx palmtop. Its realy an amazing little modem. I dont even notice any difference in battery drain when I use it. I use it without any problems with Goin Postal, Data Comm and Banana Comm But when I use it with WWW/LX it just say ***modem not ready. The same responce You get when You try to use www/lx with a pcmcia slot but no card inserted. If I then switch to Data Comm i see this buffered messages: AT OK +++AT OK Wich means that WWW/LX has spoken to the modem but it can not hear the responce the DC23 has given. It does not matter what I put in the Init field as it will not get that far. I have tried with every available driver. cic100,cic200,cicfake and lxcic. I have used WWW/LX with other PCMCIA modems so I know how to set it up. (Megaherz 1414 and Apex 1414) Now here is the strange part. I then started WWW/LX on my 486 notebook running Window$ 95, using the standard PCMCIA driver. AND IT WORKED!?? It must be something wierd in the hp200lx, DC23 and the WWW/LX (Yes Avi = we have discussed this ;-> but I can only draw a conclusion on the facts I have before me) that does not matter when they are alone, but combined they do not work. I have spoken to some fellow HP200lx and DC23 users, and some say "no problem" and some say the same as me. The DC23 comes in two versions. One 961217 and one 970603 something. The new version works, but can only be used with another phone and another cable. I have the old version.

This version incorporates a completely rewritten user interface, BIOS and hardware emulation. In addition the CPU emulation in this version is 20-30% faster than previous versions. All the standard chips found in a PC-XT are now completely emulated including: 80186 CPU (Processor) 8259A PIC (Interrupt controller) 8254 PIT (Programmable timer) 8255 PPI (Keyboard interface) 2x 8250 UARTs (Serial port interfaces) CGA controller This should allow most programs (and operating systems) to run correctly on XT-CE, even those that access the PC-XT hardware directly. The floppy and hard drive controllers are not emulated as these are emulated at a BIOS level. Very few programs SHOULD access the floppy and hard disk hardware directly. The DMA controller is also not emulated as it has no function in a PC-XT emulator. As the emulation is now hardware-compatible with a real PC-XT, portions of the BIOS (notably the keyboard BIOS) from a real XT-clone are used for increased application and operating system compatibility. The new user interface is more style-compliant with Windows CE and includes online help. There is a new demo version available now at: For the next 48 hours: Hitachi SH based machines: http://www.pyram-id.demon.co.uk/XTCE/XTCEDemo20_SH3.zip MIPS based machines: http://www.pyram-id.demon.co.uk/XTCE/XTCEDemo20_MIPS.zip After that: Hitachi SH based machines: ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/ibmpc/wince/demo/xtce/XTCEDemo20_SH3.zip MIPS based machines: ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/ibmpc/wince/demo/xtce/XTCEDemo20_MIPS.zip Please make sure that you read the Readme.txt within these archives for important information on installing, using and purchasing XT-CE. Good Luck! Ian Dean XT-CE website: http://www.pyram-id.demon.co.uk/XTCE.html ================================================================= Folks, Please no flames. I am a happy HP200LX user. However I feel Ian's work with xt-ce is valuable. I don't think HP will improve/upgrade our beloved 200lx. They think they have with the CE machines. So with the on going improvements to xt-ce we can lobby hp to fix the keyboard. I can see them accepting that idea. As to the size issue, some of the ce machines are getting smaller. So with time we should end up with a liveable CE machine.

After the HW was installed, I called up the HW-Assistant, which recognized the PCMCIA HW and installed the necessary drivers from the W95 CD. I had no trouble with the my 10MB ATA Flash card (Sundisk ATA driver). Maybe you put it into slot 1 before you start the HW-Assistent. Later, as soon as you insert tha ATA Flash card, after a beep, a new drive should show up (there must be a drive letter available I guess). If you open System/devices (since I'm using a German W95, the names may be incorrect), there should be another disk controller: 'SunDisk ATA FlashDisk' and another disk-drive: 'Generic IDE Disk Type 47'. Both will disappear after removal of the Flash-Card. Good luck. I had more problems with installing drivers for SRAM-Cards. W95 Help states that I have to use DOS drivers for that (it shakes me, brrrrrr).

I'm pretty sure the last of the vendor-specific protocol ISPs went out of business a few years ago. What you could do is install their software on a Windoze 95 machine, enable full logging of the PPP or SLIP traffic, look at the exchange to figure out the logon sequence (i.e. username, negoiation, etc.) and setup up your package on the 200lx to emulate it. I did something similiar about 3 or 4 years ago.

There are lots of diagnostic and informational junk sent with the logins to manage the advertising and your responses to it that are just too hard to fake.

The solutions I have been thinking of are: 1) Run POSTLX also on my desktop, in order to have equally formatted mail.i and mail.o files. This ist not convenient, as I already keep a lot in my Eudora database and am used to it. 2) Leave the mail on the server and, after completing a trip, checking the mail via Eudora another time to get it into the main database, deleting it from the palmtop. This is not convenient either, because the palmtop, during the trip, would have to read an ever increasing amount of mail every day. One consequence of this would be that I would have to unsuscribe from the list for the time of travel. 1ST QUESTION: Is there a way to read the mail files by Eudora ? I have tried renaming the mail.i files to .mbx. However, Eudora does not recognize the individual messages but treats the file as a digest. This brings me to my 2ND QUESTION: Somebody on Avi Meshar's statement that he wanted to change to digest format for the list, that it would be difficult to sort the messages by threads when they come all in one file together. How to solve this problem ? The Readmail program was mentioned once for this purpose, however, I do not know if it would work.

Dr. Winfried: One other approach I used occassionally - suppose you designate the palmtop and POST/LX as your main repository. When you read some e-mail on your server at work, and want to keep it permanently, just copy those messages back into your in-box and then download from POST/LX. To make this easier for me, I created a soft link (could be a hard link, too, just my preference) in my /Mail directory called in. It is linked as follows: in -> /usr/spool/mail/rclott Then from within my mailer (I use elm), it is easy to "re-mail" something to yourself by just saving it to the folder named "in". Also, the BOUNCE command that some mail programs have would probably do the same thing - just bounce a message to yourself and don't read it when it arrives. Now when I finally get around to it, I've been studying the e-mail format of the .o and .i files. I eventually plan to be able to convert my archives back and forth between "standard" UNIX mail folder formats and POST/LX at will. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

But the nature of databases (big) is such that effective queries and lookups are practical only if you can slice and dice the data somewhat (ie sort and filter). The built-in DB app is fine for this, but the limits on the size of the files precludes working with data of any appreciable size. Creating and appending would be nice, but secondary to query, at least for me, and I don't do many reports. I already have DB-3 and can do the above, but with some pain and 500k of disk space. I also have FrameWork-3 on the LX, which reads/filters/sorts dbf files very well, but has to load all of the database into memory in order to do its work, making it a memory hog for even medium sized databases. - 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: Sat, 25 Jul 1998 23:55:57 -0400 Reply-To: chainsaw@dmv.com Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Raymond Wick Subject: World Time City prefix tip MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit A couple of years ago there was a tip in the PTP about sorting world time city prefixes using either smart clip or subset.

Use one that doesn't exceed 12 volts, and is preferably regulated. You can even use a 9 (or so) volt output charger with excellent results, and the HP will run quite cool, since the internal regulator has less power to dissipate in dropping from the charger voltage (of 9-12v) to the battery voltage of ~3 during charge. All that excess goes up in heat. My unit runs quite cool with my charger at home, which is around 9.8v. It's still OK, but hotter with the one I use at the office, which is a true 12v. Eben Claud G.

But you made an error in your heat dissipation calculation: If the input voltage is 12v, and the battery voltage under charge is about 3v, then the heat dissipated in the voltage regulator is (12-3)*100ma=0.9 watts. BUT... to this you have to add the power consumed by the rest of the computer, so it may still be near the 1.2 watts you calculated. In any case, I've found (as you would expect) that using a lower voltage REGULATED power supply (~9V), lets me charge the NiMH batteries very well, and the HP stays pretty cool.

I posted a similar question to the list a week or two ago. Judging by the very limited response it seems no-one has tried this. I've done a bit more research with the following results... (1) I don't see why the phone wouldn't work with the hp using the direct serial cable input. The collection of cables required would be rather clumsy, although you could make your own. (2) I doubt that the HP would work 'out of the box' with the IR interface. It seems that the HP uses a protocol known as SIR rather than IrDA as used by the Ericsson phone. (3) However, a DOS based IrDA driver is available on the hp web site (look for file name dj346en.exe). The site says that the driver will work with DOS applications on the hp (but NOT the built in apps) for printing to IrDA printers. I've also read reports (I think from this list) that people have successfully used the driver for IrDA data transfer to/from desktop machines. It seems, therefore, that the driver will support more than just printing and thus I guess there's a chance that it might work with the Ericsson phone. It's a bit of a long shot though, and the only way to find out is for someone to try. If anyone does try this, then please post the result to this list. If the driver doesn't work, then the only alternative is to write one, which would probably take me about 2 years with the amount of free time I have at the moment!

IOW, you can't use SmartMedia cards for the 200LX. Also, to my knowledge no one has created a floppy adapter for CompactFlash. So you still can't pop your CF card into your desktop's floppy drive. - 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, 26 Jul 1998 19:36:56 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Nestor A.

I know very well. But in that message I was talking about the amount of energy that is put into the 200LX, including the energy which goes to the batteries, and assumed (to be on the safe side) that ALL energy is converted into heat. >> With 100mA by 12 volts you are putting 1.2 Watts in the HP (Watt is Volt * >> Amperes). 1.2 Watts! Doesn't sound as a terrible heat source, eh? Add to I wanted to make clear that you can not generate more energy than you put into the 200LX, so in *worst case* you end up with 1.2 Watts. Which is still to little to really have to worry about forced air cooling etc. :-) >In any case, I've found (as you would expect) that using a lower voltage >REGULATED power supply (~9V), lets me charge the NiMH batteries very >well, and the HP stays pretty cool. Yep, I know. But I have heard that the HP even doesn't have a linear voltage regulator but is using a small switching supply (DC-DC convertor) so the figures should even be better.

What exactly does "work better" mean? CF can be used with an adapter for PCMCIA, is there another type of adapter that you're talking about? Otherwise these are apples and oranges. The vendor may just mean that the SmartMedia/adapter combo is more convenient to use on existing floppy drives on desktops vs having to get a PCMCIA slot added to the desktop. Since notebooks are more likely to have PC card slots than floppy drives, it's hardly likely he's talking about notebooks/laptops. Anyway, since when did we ever take salespeople seriously . - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 27 Jul 1998 09:52:17 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Bill Vickerman Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bill Vickerman Subject: Great Memory/flash cards MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In the for what it is worth category.

Cost was $112.30 which included the PCMCIA adapter, tax and shipping. Looking at their website, I can see capacities to 48mb (for various brands, not all of which are in stock..tho the 16mb Simple is). Also, I believe Bernie (of Shore Systems) said he would "match and beat any comparable price you can find"...so good prices are out there to be had. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 27 Jul 1998 12:52:49 EDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Daniel Z.

Comments: cc: pacific@castles.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I have the 2X speed upgrade and I can't imagine how I got by without it! It's very stable, and it doesn't interfere with any programs I use. The ONLY caveat I can think of is that unless you have a flash card, if you lose your C: drive, you lose the driver. This results in a shifted, difficult-to-read screen until you can get it reloaded. Actually, how bad the screen gets messed up seems to vary from machine to machine. One of my 200LXes looks almost normal without the driver, while with the other, you can hardly read a thing. Even with this risk (unlikely in my experience as long as you have good batteries installed), I think it's worth doing. While we're on the subject of batteries, I'd recommend buying some of Times2Tech's NiMH batteries while you're at it. A cheaper alternative are Radio Shack's hi-capacity NiCds, a bargain at around $8 I think. I can't comment on WWW/LX, as I only do web browsing on my palmtop via Lynx through a UNIX shell account.

I stand corrected then. There indeed is a PCMCIA adapter for SmartMedia (BTW, the Ricoh adapter is available for $66 at BuyComp), and SM is apparently ATA based architecture, just like the CompactFlash. SM just doesn't seem to come in the capacities of CF, and I understand the floppy adapter requires a driver be loaded on the PC. - Longden -------------------------------------------- ***DO NOT POST BINARY FILES TO THIS LIST*** For Unsubscribe requests, FAQ, & List Archives, see : HTTP://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 27 Jul 1998 12:23:55 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Bernard Torbik Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bernard Torbik Subject: Re: SmartMedia & Compact Flash Cards Comments: To: "Herm.Kellinghaus@t-online.de" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable As a rule, Smart Media and SSFDs (Solid State Floppy Disks) will be = cheaper than either PC Cards or CompactFlash cards, as there is no = controller on Smart Media or SSFDs.

For a year or so the inner side of the hinge broke but my repair with acrylic glue seemed to work. Until today. The plastic from the hinge seemed to have become brittle and gluing was not possible. I tried but it made no sense. Under the remains of the hinge I discovered a spring which seems to hold the lid in an upward position. Because the closing and or opening were hindered by the spring action I have for the time being removed it. Does anybody know if this will harm the innards of the hinge? Should I fill up the place of the spring with some elastic material? Help! -*- Problems can be costly; answers priceless; excuses cheap.

You need to use the PALRUN.ZIP, not INT5f! (type: c:>palrun -r wwwlx). But it only works using upper half of the VGA 640x480 screen or in CGA 640x200 resolution. I wonder if they could allow a little more (say 128kb) limit in transfer sum for the demo version. 16Kb is not enough to really test its abilities. You have to stopwatch it on offline loaded HTML pages to get the idea about WWW/LX speeds. BTW, does one know, when will be the NETWORK aware version out? I bet it would be the fastest graphical browser ever, Stefan Peichl's LxPic was a great addition. The only alternative DOS graphics browser is Arachne (has beta CGA driver), but that is one of the slowest things in Universe! It uses an external JPG/GIF/PCX-->BMP converter for graphics, a real pain. But it has frames/HTML4.0/etc.; just doesn't run it on any pre-386! It will run (crawl) and build the display of nice HTML pages in 15-30 minutes on a 286/16Mhz... It became a nice, solid browser, never crashed on that 286. Early versions were prone to hanging the PC, it's been cured with v1.40. I have tried to explain benefits of an LxPic-like inline display engine, but they insisted that it couldn't scroll smoothly 8-(. Seems like the XChaos group really believes in the existance of of diehard DOS users with P2Xeon/450MHz on their desks. They will also port Arachne to Linux. One tell 'em about ELKS/Linux-8086... BTW2, I have heard a rumor, that early version of the infamous Opera browser ran on M$ Win3.0. I wonder if that was Real Mode. That could be an alternative for the 18MHz, 32MB, BigFlash ones.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Well, I've located Word 5.5 and installed in on my 200LX (to replace 5.0 which will blow up in the Year 2000). Unfortunately, I can't get it to run in graphics mode, to see font attributes and print previews. When I choose any of the listed graphics modes via View/Preferences/Display, I get a beep and an error message to the effect that "Word cannot switch to graphics mode." This was possible in 5.0, so I'm assuming it is my ignorance that is the problem here. 8-( I suspect I need to do some sort of set-up routine using MAKEVID.EXE to modify my SCREEN.VID, but I have no manuals, there are no .DOC files, and trial and error doesn't seem to be doing it for me. So, once again, I throw myself on the generosity of the people on this list... can someone please send me a Word 5.5 SCREEN.VID suitable for the 200LX (no, the one from ver. 5.0 won't work) or instruct me on how to make my own? Thanks in advance, all.

What was the solution to your problems? Might help someone else out. I might be interested in the 200LX but I can only afford to offer you 135.

The modem is a little slow, there are faster that others are happy with, but it was cheap($15us) and is just fine for mail, newsgroups text web browsing(does have capability for inline GIFs) and has low power requirements. WWW/LX is an impressive web browner but my main ISP won't work with it.It did work with a different ISP and you can try before you buy. There are other options such as Goin Postal and freeware setups, but I'm not familiar with those. I guess the first thing is to find a modem and then try some packages to see which fit your needs. You will _love_ the portability. Good Luck, Paul Paul Yarnell pyarnell@proaxis.com More than you wanted to know & aren't you sorry you asked.

Sony has a line of very small digital voice recorders that are extremely handy for impromptu notes while performing some activity that is not conducive to palmtopping. The model I bought is the ICD-30 ($100 at Best Buy) and offers up to 16 minutes of recording into 2 separate files which hold 99 messages each. It's about the size of a pager, but thinner. The next model up is the ICD-70 and it even has connectivity softare to transfer your voice files to your computer! (Could be an opportunity for a creative soul to do connectivity software for the 200LX.) So if you are tired of waiting for someone to build the little device detailed in voice.zip on SUPER, you might want to give this a look. Mitch S.U.P.E.R.

I started back in 94 using our new internet shell account, and had opportunity to use both. I settled on elm, as I found it easier to use and liked it's looks better (personal opinion - no facts involved here). Lately, I hear a lot about pine, and very little about elm. Is elm dead? I downloaded a set of elm files that reportedly can be run on the palmtop, but I haven't figured out the installation yet. It seems to want to actually go fetch mail from a server, while I only want it to browse archived mail folders stored in the UNIX elm/pine format. Anyone out there have elm running on the 200LX? -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

I havn't the foggiest about the differences. I only know about pine 'cause the sysops on my shell accounts already had it set up. I've watched a bunch of computer-illiterate law students from ages 20 to 50 become pretty accomplished at using it with minimal coaching. If elm is easier, I'm impressed. I would have to agree that a fax machine would be much easier. An actual stand-alone unit though - software fax software has always given me trouble. On topic (kind of), I've found the best way (for me) to handle email and web-browsing with the 200lx to be finding a good ISP willing to set up a shell account for you. You get the power of a big, hefty server and your wonderful little palmy is the terminal link. I use this setup to browse, manage multiple email accounts, setup websites and browse. I have two such accounts. One through a university and this one has everything setup on it. I also found a local ISP who set up a shell account for an initial $15 fee (lunch for the two sysops). Unfortunately, neither have toll-free numbers or national coverage but if your office sets you up with a national ISP too (as does mine) you can always telnet. Sounds clunky but takes no space on my (still) 2M machine. Larry On Wed, 29 Jul 1998 19:21:02 -0500 "R. Christopher Lott" writes: >> My suggestion would be PINE.

(faster on the desktop) Thanks, Owen! I guess that's ye ole speed/memory trade-off. I imagine the decompression speed is similar (though some compression schemes are organised for speed on the decompression side...) A thought: Compression requires a bit of spare working-space, if the compressed and uncompressed versions co-exist on disk... I guess the trick of TINYPROG is uncompress directly into RAM, so that only the compressed version is on disk. But if you have more than one big file compressed, maybe the spare space is justified by the room you save.. and you need only one file unompressed at a time... -- Brendan.Macmillan@fcit.monash.edu.au http://www.cs.monash.edu.au/~bren Voice + 61 03 9905 5194 law thesis: Ecommerce impersonation "...the margin will not contain it."

Pine. Elm. Trees! ObMP: "The larch." Elm is still around but I don't know if it's actively being maintained anymore. It was one of the early user-friendly mail user agents for Un*x and I gather it was the inspiration not only for Pine (Pine Is Not Elm) but also for something new called Mutt which is somewhat more featureful. For me, the important difference between Elm and Pine was (in 1994 or so) that Elm did not allow me to suspend composing a message and come back to it later. Pine did, and I found that useful. -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: Thu, 30 Jul 1998 01:46:39 -0700 Reply-To: um@jps.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Sung-Joo Um Subject: FS: HP Dictionary/Thesaurus pcmcia rom card In-Reply-To: <199807300432.AAA06340@mx05.globecomm.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit This item is sold. david um -------------------------------------------- ***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, 30 Jul 1998 06:37:40 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , manderson@SHIPLEY.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Michael Anderson Subject: Re: DOS e-MAIL?

Pine did, and I found that useful. Elm can do this for sure now, and I think even in 94.

From the DOS prompt, enter dispctl -c +k. (Dispctl is in d:\bin.) 2. Load Info Select. 3. Reduce the maximum number of windows: A =3D Adjust W =3D Windows Arrow down (twice) to Max Windows 1 =3D New maximum Esc to return to IS stack. 4. Use Fn-Space to zoom 200LX. 5. Use Menu-Arrows to position the screen to the active window, which should be at the top left. The active IS window should now remain at the top left as you move through the stack, or add and edit windows. IS will retain its adjustment, but the 200LX will lose both Dispctl and zoom settings if you Exit the DOS prompt. When that occurs, you must repeat all steps except number 3 (setting the maximum windows). If you run IS from SysMgr, or from a temporary DOS prompt, you can automate the repetition with a batch file. The key commands in the file are: cd<\path> dispctl -c +k is n dispctl +c Note: Replace and <\path> with the appropriate locations on your machine. The batch file can be added as a SysMgr application just as if it were IS itself: Path is.bat | 270 Comments:? Notes: Replace is.bat with the location and name of your batch file. You might wish to alter the memory = allocation (270). The ? in Comments should be upside = down--use Fn+?. Thanks to Fred Kaufman of CompuServe's HPHAND and Peter Maddern of the HPLX list.

Yesterday, stacker refused to work upon reboot. IT kept claiming a checksum error. I copied a new version of stacker.com from a backup I keep for such problems and it then worked OK. Then last night, Pocket Quicken ket dying with an Error -30, on my qdata.pdt file. I was able to restore an earlier version of this file and export/import missing transactions, so I am OK there. But, it worries me that two problems have cropped up recently that I have not seen in the past. I ran trcheck provided by Mack. IT found no problems in chips 1,3,4 and reported everything OK. (Don't know if there is meant to be chip 2 in this report). I have run both f-prot-228b and scn-318e to check for viruses with nothing found. Also ran chkdsk and ndd with no errors reported. Has anyone seen similar behaviour, or have any suggestions. I don't use EMS for anything, and there is nothing particularly special about my setup, at least nothing that has changed recently.

Which Owen? =) One thing that I like about Diet is that you can compress straight data with it, with fairly good results. I have a huge docs directory (on my poor little 2mb 200lx) and if you run diet resident, most programs do okay at reading them. (I use calvin.) Besides, even if you don't want to run it resident, you can keep all your data compressed until you need it and then run 'diet -ra' which restores it to its original size.

Remember the "Good Times" hoax, and how everyone categorically denies that reading email can be dangerous to your computer... well, this isn't quite so bad ("Good Times" is an intentional hoax), but it is bad. One of the first rules you learn in a programming class is the importance of error checking, but one of the first you learn in real life is that folks seem more interested in making something work. The email buffer overflow problem is a case of insufficient error checking. The vulnerble programs have, as one might expect, a fixed length of allocated memory to hold the suggested name for any attached file that you might try to save. If you ask the app to save the attachment, it blindly copies the suggested name into this bit of memory, not bothering to make sure it's less than the 255 characters or so that were allocated. The result, basically, is a window of opportunity in which an attacker can make a too-long filename with special characters at the end designed to run instructions on your computer, like Intel x86 assembler code, whatever the attacker wants to run. Similar exploits are theoretically possible any time an Ýemail¨ application is processing "foreign data" (e.g. email from a stranger) without sufficient error handling. E.G. if you're using an email app that uses Internet Explorer DLL's to display HTML email and there's a bug in the DLL's, then you may be vulnerable to something like the "Good Times virus" (open an email and Bam! Something Bad happens) just by reading. As for Eudora being "safe", it looks like that might *not* be true. See http://www.geek-girl.com/bugtraq/1998_3/0327.html for more info -- while it has not *proved* vulnerable, if the app had proper bounds checking it would not crash. The fact is that Netscape & Outlook were targeted because they're highly visible and very popular programs. As far as we know, cc:Mail, NetTamer, Goin' Postal, and Post/LX may all be vulnerable, too. Not many folks care enough to test them, that's all. There's glory to be had in saving *lots* of folks from trouble (Outlook users) but not for saving us. :) With Open Source code like Palmtop News Reader, anybody can comb through looking for unchecked strcpy() and the like, but for commercial binary-only apps, you're at the mercy of the publisher to fix it before some vicious person abuses the problem. If it weren't for security mailing lists like bugtraq and NTbugtraq many probably wouldn't bother. I'm starting to think that *all* Internet apps should (probably all apps) should make it *very* easy to check over the network to see if there are any known problems in the version you have and offer updates. -Peter ---------------------------------------------------------------- - OS/2 Warp 4 - peterw*clark.net - Linux/X-Windows - - Technology is only as good as the good it does. - ---------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- ***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, 31 Jul 1998 12:37:48 +0100 Reply-To: Mike_Little@geoworks.co.uk Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mike Little Organization: Geoworks Subject: Re: NYT article on internet virus We 7/29 (long reply) Comments: To: peterw@clark.net In-Reply-To: <199807311056.GAA16027@loas.clark.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT On 31 Jul 98, at 6:55, Peter W wrote: > It *is* a serious thing, indeed.

The vulnerable to attack part comes from the fact that the buffer in question is a stack based buffer, and therefore a return address can be over-written. That's where someone very clever could cause problems. Although I believe the major place open to attack, would be to use the address of the 'double-click'/'activate attachment' routine. Which means the attachment would have to do the real work. I guess you could find a routine, like 'delete folder' or something to run, but that's not as damaging as 'execute attachment'. Internet Explorer 4.0 had a similar problem with one of it's 'special' types, whereby a URL too long could do the same. > Similar exploits are theoretically possible any time an Ýemail¨ > application is processing "foreign data" (e.g. email from a stranger) > without sufficient error handling.

I received an email from the writer of the package I use (Pegasus Mail) the same day as the release where he states that PMail is not vulnerable to this, either as a crash, or as an attack. He *did* find a crashing bug in handling badly formed MIME attachments though. > The fact is that Netscape & Outlook were targeted because they're highly > visible and very popular programs.

You are right in one respect, any application that processes anything (files/email/web pages, etc) has the potential to crash. But it's the sheer number of users of the net and the kind of quantities in which applications are used nowadays, that allows the malicious ones to ply their 'trade', and have a chance of succeeding. > I'm starting to think that *all* Internet apps should (probably all apps) > should make it *very* easy to check over the network to see if there are > any known problems in the version you have and offer updates. > I'd like to see you get funding for that!! And just to keep it on topic, it could even happen to something like Filer in the 1/200LX's. If there was a similar bug in the handling of, say, long lines in F8 view, then something malicious could 'get in' to your LX.

Run the extensive RAM chip test built in in the BIOS (ESC-ON, and the go to RAM TEST and press CTRL-ENTER for the harder RAM test). >But, it worries me that two problems have cropped up recently that I have >not seen in the past. I ran trcheck provided by Mack. IT found no problems >in chips 1,3,4 and reported everything OK. (Don't know if there is meant to >be chip 2 in this report). No. Each chip is 2MB, for a total of 6MB. The 200LX has two /RAS lines (equivalent to chip selects) for ram chips on the mainboard (/RAS0 and /RAS1), and another two for ram chips on the expansion board (/RAS2 and /RAS3). - 1MB machines use /RAS0 and /RAS1 driving two 512KB chips. - Old 2MB machines use all four /RAS lines driving four 512KB chips, two on the mainboard and two on the expansion board. - Rest of 2MB machines use /RAS0 to drive a single 2MB chip. /RAS1 is unused (and is not available in the expansion connector). - 4MB machines are just 2MB machines with a 2MB expansion board. They use /RAS0 for the 2MB chip on the mainboard and /RAS2 for the 2MB on the expansion board. - 5MB machines are 1MB machines with a 4MB expansion board, consisting in two 2MB chips driven by /RAS2 and /RAS3. Note that in old 2MB machines the 1MB expansion board will be replaced by the 4MB one, for a total of 5MB instead of 6MB (you end up with a spare 1MB expansion board). - 6MB machines are newer 2MB machines with a 4MB expansion board. - 8MB machines are newer 2MB machines with a 6MB expansion board, consisting in three 2MB chips, two of them driven by /RAS2 and /RAS3 just like in the 4MB expansion board, and the third driven by /RAS1 line, which not being available in the expansion connector, has to be wired from the expansion board to the Hornet IC. This is why 6MB upgrades are sold only installed, because it's not a matter of plug-in and go, but alse requires some tricky soldering. And now for the newest: - 8MB machines (Terra Network japanese upgrades) are whatever machines, with the mainboard memory removed, and all four /RAS lines driving a single 8MB chip with some glue logic. - 32MB machines (Terra Network japanese upgrades) are whatever machines, with the mainboard memory removed, and all four /RAS lines driving four 8MB chips with some glue logic. - 33MB/34MB machines (T2T and otheres upgrades) are 1MB/2MB machines with a 32MB chip in the expansion board driven by /RAS3. Note that this 32MB chip is really composed of four 8MB chips each one providing 4 bits of the total 16 bit datapath width. Actually, I know for sure that 65MB/66MB (for 1MB/2MB machines respectively) have been achieved using special chips from Hitachi (which each has two 8MB chips grouped together in a single housing!). 8MB chips are 64Mbit DRAMs. When 256Mbit DRAMs are available (32MB), a 128MB HP200LX *IS* possible. Doing this upgrade would require removing the mainboard ram chips (or at least disabling them by driving its /RAS pin high permanently). Also, as far as I know, the built-in BIOS C: drive device driver will recognize and support 32MB in /RAS0, which would be required in order to boot from somewhere (but A:) and then load device drivers in order to support rest of the 128MB as a single or multiple drives.

OK, I bought some new toys (big flash card and a Palm Pilot -- Just for fun!! :) ) and I need to pay for them. Here's some stuff which I think will be of interest to you: Infotel 14.4K pocket modem. Does not tie up the PC card slot or drain the palmtop batteries. Uses a 9V battery or the included AC adapter. You do need the palmtop serial cable and a null modem adapter to hook it up. This unit is basically new with all included parts, manual, box; only used once to determine that for unknown reasons it doesn't work with my 200LX. Don't worry, I had the same problem with another unit of this same modem, and that modem worked fine in someone else's 200LX. Money back guarantee if it doesn't work with your 100/200LX. $45 Apex Data Mobile Plus 33.6K cellular/landline PCMCIA modem. This is one of a very small number (only 2 that I know of) of 33.6K modems which will work in our palmtops due to relatively low current draw. I'd still recommend using an AC adapter, however, with ANY PC card modem. I'm guessing you wouldn't be able to run it very long on batteries. This modem is labeled "v.34 28.8K" but has been flash-upgraded to 33.6 with software from Apex's web site. Includes card, cable, manual. $75. I have 2 of these. Quicken v 7.0 for DOS. This is the next-to-last DOS version of Quicken. It will run fine on an LX. Just the original 3.5" disks; no manuals. $5 Serial-Parallel convertor (non-portable). This will let you print to printers lacking a serial port. Because it requires an AC adapter (included) and is about as big as the LX itself, it's best used as a permanent attachment to a printer or kept nearby for occasional use. Worked great with my LX and a Panasonic (Epson-compat.) dot matrix printer. Includes original box and manual. $10 Prices do not include shipping. Thanks for reading. J. P.

The cc:Mail app won't let you set a faster speed in its setup anyway. I bought a used XJ1114 for $25 recently so you can get going for relatively little $$$.

I use the email portion most extensively on a daily basis. For complicated reasons (unrelated to beta testing) I have six email accounts across three different ISPs and access them all in one online run from the palmtop. I receive all the mailing lists to which I am subscribed (both work and personal topics) on the palmtop and make extensive use of the filtering functions to automatically keep things under control. I have received up to several hundred messages a day although traffic is lighter at the moment! In the interest of full disclosure I should point out that I am a beta tester for the product not that Avi pays us :-) (Free copy of the software excepted).

I would probably try dialing up your ISP with a terminal program (i.e. Datacomm on the 200LX, or HyperTerminal in Win95, or any of the ilk) and see what happens. If you're lucky, it will be a simple login: and password: prompt which then drops to PPP. -------------------------------------------- ***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, 31 Jul 1998 20:39:55 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: 64meg palmtop Comments: To: Dan Carrington In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Fri, 31 Jul 1998, Dan Carrington wrote: > So who is doing the 64 meg upgrades?
