This game was out for the Macintosh long before Wolfenstein was. I think it's been out since ... 1985 or 1986.

The goal in Dark Castle is to get INTO the castle though, and kill the Black Knight. But it does involve killing or avoiding guards, picking up potions and rocks, etc. To anybody running it on the palmtop: it works best if you invert the screen and then do an ON-* key combination to switch dithering methods. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 1 Dec 1998 12:25:43 -0800 Reply-To: "Claud G.

Then I tried to use it on my ThinkPad 600 (using CardWorks CardWizard) - detected it, but I had to pop the card out and pop it back in to have Windows see it as a drive. When I try to delete files from the card *BOOM* - blue screen of death telling me there is a write error. So I shut down and pop the card back into the Palmtop. Am able to delete files from Filer, but when I go to DOS or restart, the files are still there. Tried running chkdsk, gives an error reporting that the Recycled folder is corrupt. I think *DOH* - forgot to set the drive as removable and Winblows tried to move the deleted file to recycle bin on the flash card and screws it up (at least that's what I am guessing). Anyway, chkdsk wont fix it, fdisk100 and format complete without errors, but the files are still there. I also tried the 1k cluster formatter from SUPER and still no dice. Is there a way to just wipe the card and start from scratch, or am I screwed and have to get a replacement? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Leonard A.

I believe the DOS version of Acrobat will only run on a ... 386+? Or maybe it was 286. But it won't run on the LX. Additionally, since I have problems sometimes opening newer 3.x PDF files in 2.x for Windows, I would imagine that 1.x for DOS would have even more trouble.

Some of the older programs (95LX mostly) are in .zoo or .arc format, while others are simply not working (CRC errors in the archives). Some are even uuencoded! Also, the index file is woefully out of date. Most of the 100/200LX stuff resides in the NEW directory and never got further... And now that Bill Childers (thanks for reminding me Dave! :-) already mirrors the Eddie archive, there really isn't much point. I'm sad to see it go, though.

The Citizen PN60i is a really tiny color-capable printer that prints on plain paper and can be printed to (from the palmtop) via serial cable or infrared. To do infrared printing, you need to load the IrDA drivers off of SUPER.

I've been brainwashed to believing that you can only do WYSIWYG printing from Windows. Is Envision Publisher a commercial package? Or free/shareware?

The trial version is (or was) available on SimTel sites. You get four scaleable fonts to play around with with the downloadable version. Depending on which version you pay for, you get either 20 or 35 fonts. Each one can be used as normal, italic, bold, or bold-italic - but some won't look right in italic or bold. The better version also includes a font convertor to change TTF fonts to FastFont that EVP uses, and some clip-art, layout templates, spell checker, and filters to import a selection of word-processor formats. > Yes, I read that.

This tool can only be one part of the game, apparently it's not sufficient to glue adbio.exe and field98.exe together, otherwise this thread would not exist ;) Personally, I don't care much about synchronization with Outlook because I'm not using Windows. On the other hand, having a viable synchronization tool for other calendar and scheduling applications is a goal for me too. The current interim package of the Perl module HP200LX::DB contains this sample script: | catadb.pl is a perl script to export HP 200LX appointment books into | vCalendar format which might be importable to Outlook or similar | personal information managers (PIMs). | ... | The script can later be used by calling something like | scripts/catadb.pl -o output.vcs -folding simple appt.adb As I said, I don't know if Outlook can make any sense of this but you might want to give it a try. Version 5 of the perl package can be found on my web server http://falbala.wu-wien.ac.at:8684/pub/english.cgi/0/41420 or if you prefer FTP ftp://ftp.wu-wien.ac.at/pub/usr/edvz/gonter/hp200lx/ Future work: There clearly remains a lot of work to do but I have the feeling that this can be solved. The perl module can already be used to import and export data to GDB, PDB, and NDB files. It can export from ADB and WDB files but not yet import into these two formats. Furthermore, import and export are not really what I would call true synchronizatin, but you need to start at begin ;) +gg -- Gerhard.Gonter@wu-wien.ac.at Fax: +43/1/31336/702 g.gonter@ieee.org Zentrum fuer Informatikdienste, Wirtschaftsuniversitaet Wien, Austria ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 3 Dec 1998 18:24:10 -0800 Reply-To: DFrick@mail.snip.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Darren Frick Subject: Re: Memory Card Problem Comments: To: Adalipu MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Adalipu wrote: > > Hi *! > > I'm afraid I have to ask this, although I'm new to this list and don't > know if this has been discussed already: > > I bought two used Atmel 4meg 5V Flash Cards (P/N is AT5FC004-20) because > they are PCMCIA and I thought they would run on my HPLX - they don't! > > Manufactor name and P/N lead to the assumption that the card only > contains a flash IC without any controller.

Thanks. Why do you need a quick reference? surely there is not more than you can remember by heart? ;-) (not in the standard RegExp set anyway; if you want the Perl extensions too it becomes more tricky) The version of SED I use has a good manual, which could be turned in to a NoteTaker file with a little work.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Yes, the list's favourite subject is back... For a long time my LX had a thin white line, but suddenly yesterday I noticed that it has developed into a crack, and quite near the edge too. It has not broken yet, but I'm afraid this will happen soon. With this in mind I browsed the HPLX-L archives and found suggestions ranging from glueing small pieces of metal (or plasic) to the LX surface as well as fusing/mending the crack (by dissolving small parts of the plastic). The latter would leave the least amount of "battle scars", and so would be preferable, but I was wondering if the mended/fused crack will last or if it will break again after a short period of time? Putting aesthical considerations aside, if I have to glue some plastic/metal onto the palmtop, where should I do it? On the side (onto the hinge cap) would probably have the best effect (and strengthen the LX the most), but it would also mean that the cap couldn't be taken off anymore. Would this hinder opening the LX and upgrading the crystal or memory?

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Laust - you come well prepared, even with your own diagram. When I saw signs of a crack developing, I did not wait for it to develop into a major problem. I took the following steps. 1. Immediately bought another HP200lx for backup purposes, and set it up with the same autoexec.bat & config.sys, and the same directory structure. And started doing regular backups. 2. I quickly gave up on the idea of preserving my LX's virgin beauty. Since it is very difficult (for me, at least) to make the repair site unnoticeable, I decided to make it a feature. 3. I lightly sanded the areas to be affected, so they would have a rough surface to better bond. I cut two small pieces of thin bright red plastic (out of a plastic page that serves as a divider in multitopic binder), and crazy glued them to serve as bridges over the crack. 4. The pressure from closing LX's lid now is spread over a wide area and is transmitted through two strong plastic parts. The repair was done sometime in February 1998. The glue cost about $2.00, and there is enough left to repair a whole army of palmtops. 5. 5 months later I dropped the computer and the case popped open in a way that I could not click it in together. I was afraid to apply excessive pressure. So I sent it to One Stop Palmtop Shop and, while they repaired the case, my LX was upgraded to 32 meg & doublespeed. No problem. And I got to use my backup palmtop for a couple of weeks. 6. I marked my areas of repair, assuming that the screen is on the right side of your picture. __________________________ |----------------| side piece / ===========|== \|<- hinge! |----------------------\___| \_______________Ý::::¨__O__/|________________| and __________________________ / outside piece / ===========|== \|<- hinge! |----------------------\___| \_______________Ý::::¨__O__/\_________________ goes around the hinge Mikhail > > Putting aesthical considerations aside, if I have to glue some > plastic/metal onto the palmtop, where should I do it?

What you show in your diagram wouldn't hinder opening the palmtop for speed and memory upgrades, but it could be a problem if your screen had to be replaced, or for a backlight upgrade... I've been wondering if perhaps a small lever could be added to the right hinge cap and THAT used to open the 200LX. That would eliminate the force on the upper part of the screen half of the case... but perhaps that wouldn't help the hinge crack problem. > Oh, and I don't supposed anyone has put together a Hinge Crack FAQ?

(Most of it from Japan). There's a lot definitely cool stuff there... Has anyone located the copies of the programs with Dr. Garwood's English instructions & .CFG or .ENV files? I've grabbed the most interesting (at least to me) files from the Japanese sites, but of course the docs are in Japanese... What I would especially like to find are instructions for configuring LXF107 (LX Filer) - an improved FILER with a lot of the functions of StereoShell, but an EXM. Works nicely with LFTREE (displays a directory tree). I did manage to figure out part of the .CFG file to change the sort order and set it for split screen with C on the left, A on the right, but there are a lot of other options (with long Japanese comments), that are probably needed to get full use of the prog. X-Finder is supposed to be an EXM version of WinDoze Explorer. This one I haven't managed to set up at all yet. The articles rate this one as the best program of the bunch, so it should be fun to try out... Some of the others are already on SUPER with English docs, and others are pretty intuitive. Look like great toys 8-) Dr. Garwood deserves a lot of credit for finding these, and for figuring out how to make it work... -Peniel ------------ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 5 Dec 1998 22:32:49 -0500 Reply-To: davids@mediamachine.com Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Spoelstra Subject: PPPMan Rod Whitby was telling me about a program someone wrote to help setup the files needed for PNR called PPPMan.

I've heard different stories. Personally, mine broke about 6 months after I bought it (new) and I used the fusion method. There's probably no escaping the presence of a fix no matter how careful you are (unless you do these repairs for a living). Mine has held for over a year since the patch using a kind of instant glue (cyanoacrylate)...but then I don't think I've dropped it since then. I have heard of others whose fix didn't hold, but I forget how long and the exact method used. It's not too noticeable either...I tested the glue on a small part of the crack and manipulated the excess using a straight pin. Maybe we should have an LX hinge crack beauty contest to see who's repair looks best .... sorry about that, Laust. But Mikhail's suggestion was also good (for those who can afford it), which was to buy a 2nd LX so you can take your time on repairs (by yourself or if you send it out). Good luck..

We've all been on the list long enough to know we encompass a range of needs and resources. There are no shortage of starving students nor professionals with greater financial means (tho sometimes the LX is their administrative lynch pin). Buying a 2nd LX is something like buying auto insurance here in California, and that can be excruciating when you're supporting 5 drivers (like paying for 10 LX's per year without getting any practical benefit except peace of mind until an accident happens). I wonder if Thaddeus would consider some form of HP's Express Exchange program whereby they would send you a backup LX before you sent them yours, and you'd return theirs when your fixed one is done. Sounds like an expensive arrangement..but it was wonderful when I had my first LX and the screen went bad..but back then, Express Exchange was courtesy of my 1st year warranty. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 6 Dec 1998 10:53:40 -0500 Reply-To: bamcilvaine@JUNO.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Brian McIlvaine Subject: Security Issues MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I just wanted to comment on how easy and useful I found the "Secure Device" program.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; boundary="----------------------------"; charset="iso-8859-1" I just did a hinge crack patch on my LX Friday night. I went to the hardware store and bought a package of those decorative brass corners and some JBWeld epoxy. I trimmed up the brass corners so they would fit nicely on the back two corners of my LX (and wrap over the sides), and then epoxyed them in place.

(Please elaborate) EXM programs are special programs designed to run within the environment of the System Manager task switcher shell of the 100/200LX palmtops. When a program is written to be an EXM, it fits seemlessly into SysMgr and can be assigned it's, own hot key and be run and switched just like the built in applications. There are lots of limits to what the EXM program be do, such as a 64K code size limit and 64K data segment size limit, etc. There is a template on how to construct an EXM program and utilize the SysMgr resources. This is all documented in the developers guide from HP. There are also some sample programs around with nice docs about how the author made the EXM program.

I don't know the number off hand, but it includes all of the built in programs also. The info for an EXM program is stored in the APNAME.LST file on the drive where the program lives. So, there is an a:\appname.lst file and a c:\_dat\apname.lst file. I forget which of these files is loaded first - it might be the one on A. So, if this new EXM you are trying to load is the last entry in the c:\_dat\apname.lst and this one it over the limit, then SysMgr will not see it. First of all, check the apname.lst files to be sure the right stuff is in there. And then temporarily delete one of the other EXM specs from either apname.lst file and see if the new EXM is now seen.

Mine does, and I use it almost as much with my palmtop as I use the regular SLIP/PPP access with my desktop. I also have menued shell access through my local FreeNet provider. With an account like this, all you need is your built-in DataComm program! All the tools for your e-mail, news, (text) web browsing, ftp, telnet etc. are on the server. Usually these tools include Pine for e-mail, Tin for news, Lynx for browsing and others. It ain't slick, but it's fast, free and does everything you're asking for (and more).

I have the DC-12 "modem" PCMCIA card, and of course my trusty HP200LX. I did some simple tests, using Datacomm, and my shell account. As long as I limit myself to hand typing speeds, everything seems to be okay. But as soon as I try to send a burst of data, it locked up. I was sending a small text file, approx 1500 bytes at the time. I also tried using WWW/LX. It negotiated correctly, and established a connection. It reported that I had 5 messages, proceeded to download one of them. Then it locked up after the first one downloaded. I tried this twice, once it reported Modem Error, and the second time it just plain locked up. I have contacted my GSM phone company, and they don't know immediately of any network-wide reason that I should be having problems. They admit to being novices at this - I am the first customer in my area (about 1/2 of a state) to use this data capability. The fellow I deal with has a small laptop in the store that he just setup with this same capability, and offered to let me try the same test on his unit tomorrow - which I'll do. Has anyone experienced any similar problems with the Ericsson?

The IR amplifier is probably a sending amplifier, similar devices have been around for remote controls for some time. This would not help a theif get a copy of your IR signal, it would only allow the thief to send it to the car from farther away. Also, as far as a thief capturing the signal from your car IR when you opne a door, I would think that they would have to be just about on top of you to get a clear signal. Think about how you program a palm from a remote, you carefully line up the two and press buttons, you don't do it from across the room while crouching down behind the sofa. Pete Peter W.

If you are in the U. S. and have an "Only Deals" store near you, go check it out! They are selling various ancient and not-quite-as-ancient software for a whopping $2 each, at least in the two stores near me (Rochester, MN). There were a number of CGA games from Accolade (4th and Inches, Mean 18, Apollo 18, TKO, etc.) and others, a couple file manager-type programs, maybe some more stuff. Unfortunately, I didn't see any real application software (for those of you looking for sealed copies of Word for DOS, WP, Quattro Pro, etc.). I have no idea how much of it runs on the LX, but for only $2, it's kinda fun to try it out, especially since you can always run the programs on your desktop (although CGA graphics on a real monitor are pretty scary). The selection of really old stuff is variable, so check out multiple stores if you have them. Have fun. Cheers. J. P.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The problem is "stretching" of the plastic at the rear right edge of the = 100/200 LX. After many repetitions, the stress of the friction hinge = overcomes the plastic and le voila - the cracked hinge! After reading the directions posted earlier, I bought some thin (0.06 = inch) strips of brass about 0.5 inches wide and a couple of inches long. = I cut a pair of strips long enough to extend from the series of = horizontal grooves in the top of the LX (for esthetics) to just over the = 45 degree bevel at the hinge edge (about 1 inch long). After roughening = the surface of the LX and the brass strip, I bent a narrow edge on the = brass strip to correspond to the 45 degree bevel. Several attempts = later, I managed to get the angle reasonably close so that a dry fit = didn't show any big gaps between the brass and the top of the LX. For = esthetics, I made another strip for the left side - just for visual = balance . I prepared some "fast" epoxy (claimed to be 4 minute drying time), = smeared it on the brass, and then placed the two strips on the top of = the LX. About 20 minutes later, I felt reasonably sure that the epoxy = had hardened to the point where I could remove the pressure (my fingers) = from the brass strips. I left the project over night, and then the = following day sanded the rough brass edges with some 400 grit sandpaper. IT WORKS !!!!! The brass doesn't stretch, and the glued surface spreads the stress over = a large area, so I don't think I'll see more cracking. You can position = the brass strips so that they don't interfere with the end caps on the = hinge, so that you can apply SMALL amounts of lubricating fluid to the = end of the steel pin under the right end cap. This reduces the friction = so that it even less likely that stress will cause cracks. Disclaimer - while this was not a difficult project, I'm sure that any = warranty I had left would have been voided by this technique. However, = since my hinge was completely separated, I didn't have much to lose (was = I completely unhinged?), and the results have several benefits. The = hinge feels solid, I KNOW that my 100LX will last for a lot longer now, = AND I'm able to spot my LX in a crowd - nobody else has exactly the same = kind of hinge decorations . I any case, the brass cost less than $0.50 (and I've got several inches = left), while the epoxy was around $4.00. All in all, an extremely cost = effective solution.

Well, once I downloaded it and tried to run it, I found two problems. The most serious one was that it wouldn't run on my NT desktop at work. But it ran on the palmtop fine, except there were bad color problems. The program has numerous color schemes, none monochrome. However, I can manually develop a color scheme myself. Is anyone using this program on their palmtop already? Does anyone have a color scheme already developed? Also, are there other programs like this that will read standard UNIX mail archive folders? This is one of my main needs - I download my mail from my ISP about monthly to save on disk storage space, and don't have a handy way to read these backups.

A friend told me about this a few weeks ago. I didn't believe him. I had to see it for myself. Just imagine... Ýwavy dream lines¨ You live in San Francisco and go to New York for business. You enter all your business meetings in MS Outlook's calendar on your Windows laptop before you leave. You fly to New York and adjust your location (time zone) so your computer will what time it is. Then you miss a crucial appointment because the calendar claims a meeting is at 3pm even though you said it was at noon. All your appointments get time shifted when you change your location. They claim this is a feature. I kid you not. I can only guess that somebody decided appointments should be stored as GMT and then displayed as local times depending on the time zone the computer thinks it's in. As to why they thought this was a good thing, I have no clue.

The Palmtop News Reader (PNR) will read Unix format mail. Although the main program is x00LX-specific (PNR.EXM), there is also a PNR.EXE in the distribution that should run on the desktop. Thus far I have been unable to get it to run on *my* desktop, however. My current solution is to save the archives to disk in raw format (virtually entirely ASCII) and use X-Tree to compress the files into an archive and to browse/search as needed.

My car 'plip' uses IR -in fact I'd say that it is more common than Rf now in the UK. It is much less subject to problems from outside interference. The matter is said to be being taken very seriously by 3Com. It does seem that it would be very hard to actually capture the signal, as it is highly directional. If you were in the car *next* to mine and in the line from me to the detector in the car, I guess you could do it. But I'd be a bit suspicious of a chap standing behind my car holding up a Palm Pilot or an IR detector. It would be much easier to capture an Rf signal. A number of cars now use a rolling pseudo-random sequence of codes (a single-use key) that would prevent this kind of attack. You'd also still have to hot-wire the car and defeat the steering lock, as on most the IR just unlocks the doors. You need the key and/or the presence of the key plip (contains a transponder) to disarm the immobiliser. And as suggested you'd have to stand *very* close with an HP200LX, I believe from previous postings a 95 has a more powerful IR transmitter - no idea about receiver sensitivity. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 9 Dec 1998 17:59:50 +0000 Reply-To: fjkaufman@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "F.

I'm surprised at this. IR remotes have traditionally been considered much safer than RF ones because of the difficulty of interception.

It needs quite a bit of fiddling around to get it set up, but it's well worth it 8-) Sort of a GUI menu system/file manager combined (With a lot of very cool features). Get the archive from the HPLX-L home page. This is Dr. Larry Garwood's file set - with the .ENV file commented in English. (It's a Japanese program). The current edition of PTP has some instructions for installing it. To get the best use, you'll need several other programs: LHA.EXE (compression archiver/decompressor) on SimTel sites (LHA255) UNZIP.EXE on SUPER OPEN.EXE and RUN.EXE Both on SUPER ZCOPY.COM (There are at least two programs by this name. X-Finder doesn't want zcopy from SimTel). The one you'll need is at: http://www.vector.co.jp/pack/00tools/zcopy.com All of these should be installed somewhere in your path. You'll probably also want MoreEXM, MaxDOS, and WhereIs from SUPER, and LFTree (lftree06.lzh) and LXFiler (LF107.lzh) from: http://www.vector.co.jp/common/dos/util/machine/hp/ LXFiler wants to use ÝAlt F4¨ as the hotkey. One more cool program you should have is IconEdit. I don't recall the URL - found it by following several links from the author's page. I can send this one to anyone who wants it. The finder.env file and the two icon .lzh files go in C:\_DAT Oh yeah... The archive includes a program called finderp2. You run this with the command finderp2 >exm.env That creates a text file list of your exm progs and hot keys that you can merge into finder.env. This should help get you started... I've still got a lot to learn about this software.

When I've travelled US-UK etc I've had this problem...but with the LX! Outlook supports a second time zone (SCH+ too and better IMHO) so I have GMT (or BST) and EST. As long as I pay attention if I'm setting up a meeting for when I'm in the US and if I say '3 pm' I enter it at 3pm EST then when I actually turn up then bingo it's spot on. Outlook stores everything in GMT and tracks the offsets (well OK I'm GMT-centric, being MS it is probably Redmond-time with an offset). The LX does not, it stores the time as an absolute 'text'. So if I synch the LX with Outlook (or SCH+) I get an appointment at the absolute local time. So a US appointment goes in at say 0300 for an 8am meeting. When I shift time zones (and change the LX system time) if I recall rightly the LX still thinks I have an 0300 meeting. So you are right about the risk of synch but I'm afraid in this case I think the LX has it wrong. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 9 Dec 1998 21:18:16 -0500 Reply-To: Peniel Romanelli Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Peniel Romanelli Subject: Re: X-Finder MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Wed, 9 Dec 1998 20:31:44 -0500 (EST) 01h29m54s ago ...

Also will open *.?db files in the appropriate PIM. You can use an icon for each data file, and launch from that. I'm still finding out new stuff about X-Finder.

It's more a case of the LX doesn't have it your way, but does have it the way of the previous poster. And mine, basically cos I prefer the timing to be oriented around MY day, ie the day that I actually experience (meaning breakfast time at 9 am in sg is equivalent to breakfast time at 9 am in say uk). When I travelled to Australia and New Zealand last year, I keyed my appointments in as if the times in Oz and Nz were the same as the time in Sg. On the flight there, I switched time zones and none of the appointments went wonky. I like it that way cos to me (as the person living the day), I'd like my 4 pm meeting to be shown as the last meeting of the working day which it /was/ to me, and not an 8 pm appointment (back in Sg) which would have implied a dinner appointment. And I'd be scratching my head wondering (if I see this years later) why I was in a restaurant for dinner starting at 12 midnight? Seems to me that this is one case where it's different strokes for different folks. And I'm different from you cos I don't use Outlook, or for that matter, any other PIM other than the LX. I generally have my HPLX open next to my notebook/desktop PC and function perfectly happily ignoring my organisation's Lotus Notes calendar which practically nobody else uses anyway.

The only "advantage" I can see is that some browsers (or web-servers for that matter) may not recognize the .LZH extension and will try and download the file as text, destroying it in the process.

I have several pc cards (stacked) that work great in my 200lx and compaq aero, but I can't seem to get stacker working on the win 98. I got a new copy of stacker 4.0 for win and dos. It is supposed to put a mobile stacked volume on a disk along with Stacker.exe (anywhere) Then any body is supposed to be able to simply run stacker.exe and be able to read the stacked volume. The problem is stacker anywhere only works on replaceable drives, and windows 98 thinks it is a fixed disk. I read somewhere that the difference is the fat or some such on the disk. I tried formatting the card from dos with the /F option, but was told that it was incompatible with the media. Does anyone know of a utility that will format the cards like (as) a floppy? I did get stacker 4.0 working on a hard disk partition under win 98. But stacker requires to be operated under dos. under dos I can't read the card in the pcmcia slot. (incompatible drivers?) Are there drivers that will work under dos with a TI pcmcia port? Thanks.

At some point in time, the Libretto with Win95 started to crash Win95 when I hot inserted the flash cards. It was OK if I booted the Libretto with the card already inserted. As this was annoying, I have made a full Win95 re-install of the Libretto and regularly checked that the hot insertion of flash cards worked OK. This was OK until I installed MS DIRECTX drivers 5.2.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I believe there was a change in `addressing' such that my `normal' response (i.e. what I get when I don't think about it) went from being a message back to the list to being a message back to the individual. This caused several of my messages to go back to the individual rather than to the list. My personal preference very much favors `normal' being `just the list', but now I have adjusted and although it is a nuiscance for me to have to readdress every message I send, it isn't such a big pain that I would complain about it. It does cut down on the number of times that I respond, though. ÝPS: I don't like to get `personal' copies of list messages myself. I'd much rather read a response only on the list. Reading them both places is a pain, and most responses have some `public' value.¨ I, too, notice less traffic and I am disappointed that it is down.

Hello all, I have a few questions about WWW/LX Plus2 latest version: Is the restriction on lenght of URL adress (128 byte?) still present when using registered version? E.g. when typing complex AltaVista command line queries to save online time, you can run out of box space. But when doing the same query using menu forms, it works OK, so WWW/LX must understand full 255 char URLs. How can you specify two external viewers for the same extensions? E.g.: there are many WAV subformats, LxVox won't support all. The polish freeware PLWAV_A3 can do stereo, 16-bit via speaker; but is slow, needs huge RAM, etc. So LxVox should try first, if it can't play, then Plwav comes. Btw, search for , about 20KB archived. I bet, with errorlevels and piping/redirection it should work under DOS; but can you handle these in WWW.cfg? Piping should be useful alone as well, e.g. Midi format 1 files listened to ASAP, by piping Midi1to0 | Lxmid171. I was suprised to see that you cannot enter hidden attribute directories in WWW/LX local fileview, no way. Are you living with it, never noticed or I missed a workaround? Have you considered asking for Vertical Reader embedded/added into HV? I bet, some people would prefer watching text dominated pages this way. Is it possible to make a LOTUS123 based hypertext viewer? The simple grid structure might make it easy to render pages. Frames=Freezing, etc. All we need is a converter. Have any of you tried or keep using Bobcat browser on palmtop?

I bet I use them again in the future. :) >1. how to tell if the HP serial port is working? > Many methods: a.) Open the Datacomm application, identify the pins on the palmtop for transmit and receive. Short them together and set the palmtop's "advanced" settings to "flow=none", and make sure that the "local Echo" box is NOT checked. Return to the terminal screen and confirm every keystroke appears on the screen. NOTE: this test only confirms UART and transmit/receive function. b.) Use Datacomm to "talk" to another PC running something like ProComm Plus (avoid the Windows version of PC Plus, it sucks). c.) Attach a "blinky box" to the serial port of the palmtop and "see" that all the pins are acting normal. A blinky box is one of the LED line monitors for RS232 and can be found at Radio Shack. You will need the cable for your palmtop and at least one DB9 to DB25 adapter. > >2. do the settings in SETUP (i.e. address and interrupt) affect COM1 or >are these for something else? > The setting for "Comm port power in DOS" found in the "Setup" application, is only an issue when you use a program ending with .EXE Palmtop native applications manage the serial port without help from this setting. The addresses for serial ports are a kind of standard and should be set to; 03F8 and 4 for comm1. The palmtop does not have a comm2, unless you insert a PC card. > >3. Do the settings in DATACOM affect the COM1 port? when using FILER to >connect with TRANSFILE 200? > No. The Filer application has it's own configuration screen for setting the communications parameters. Be sure the port IO address is set to 03F8 and interrupt is set to 4 in the "Setup" application and then set the communications stuff in the Filer application. Start with 9600 baud and after everything gets going, try faster rates. NOTE: Server mode in filer communications settings should be turned on. > >4. What is the physical connection of COM2 with the outside world > Comm2 is only available if you insert a PCMCIA card that has a UART with a port address and interrupt for comm2. This would include modem cards and serial cards. Also some other types of cards "look" like a UART to software. Mostly it's modem cards for comm2. > >5. How do I tell if my infrared ports are functional? I cannot get any >communication using infrared between my two palmtops-would be great if >they did!

Set Datacom's baud rate for 300 and change the "interface" setting to "infrared". Each keystroke should be visible as a pulse on light in the viewfinder of the camcorder. b.) Go to radio shack and buy one of their IR detector strips. Follow the instructions on the strip and pretend your palmtop is a TV remote. Remember to set the datacomm interface to Infrared and the baud rate to 300. Each keystroke should produce a small flash of re-emitted light from the strip. > >I did at one time get transfile win200 to work on my laptop with the LX >but no longer. > TFwin200 is an excellent program.

Dear LXers, I think this was an evil year (1998 = 3 x 666), especially for the palmtop world; with M$ WinCE making the big breakthrough. So the uncompromised good side has less than a month to make some advance or we are doomed. I think good side is UNIX. So here is the challange: 100LX and OGO700LX users, please volunteer to repeat the install process described at . It is already known that some daemons make 200LX crash when running Minix. If we knew, how the other two members of the family behave; exorcism to make HPLX Un*x-ready should be easier! (possibly in the form of a driver) If we had a working Unix clone (Minix), new perspectives for open world (especially ELKS & Linux) would open up. I know many users say that DOS is enough, but HPLX is at the edge of extinction. And look at evolution: the species, whose era came to an end; always tried to move into niche environments, sizes, symbiosis. Some, who were most successful, still live in remote areas after 10¬6 years. Unix is a hideaway, wher erace among palmtops won't be killing. So even if you are not interested in running Minix or ELKS-86, it is clearly a life-extender project for YOUR palmtop as well! Anyone with a 10MB or bigger card and a Linux PC w/PCMCIA could help. All I can offer is possibly a working Minix v1.7.1 16-bit install dump from my XT. If you feel unfamiliar with Unices, but still wish to help: Having a SimpleTech 20MB ATA Flash card PCMCIA is nice. Then you could possibly get Minix installed within minutes by means of automatic card image dump transfer. And see if your 100/200/700LX machine likes Un*x or not. No wizardry! Please tell me, if you have exactly such a card and volunteer. I will try to convince Mr. Dubs, that he'd restart Minix work. But please show up, let us point out strong user interest. I am somewhat suprised, that LX specific HW vendors showed no interest in Unices for the palmtop. I wonder if Unix-phyles would buy some 18MHz, 96MB units to have pocket $ without hash. Such a project may propel HW innovation as well.

Here is my summary of the situation v-a-v the 200Lx: Discussions here lead me to believe that the HP has better power consumption characteristics than the ST card. For me this doesn't matter as I generally keep the HP card in my 200Lx and only swap in the ST card when I want to do something with the larger disk. As a result, *if* the ST card has an effect on battery life (I'm not sure either way) I don't end up by seeing it. I don't notice any difference in speed, but then most of what I do doesn't take much CPU/Disk time, so I'm not sure that I'm the right person to comment on that aspect.

E.g. when typing complex There is no difference in the capabilities of WWW/LX between the demo and registered versions in this respect. The ONLY difference in the demo version is that it stops after downloading 16K of stuff. Otherwise everything else is the same - the demo is a full working version. As for the specific URL length limit you mention, I believe that limit was increased several minor versions of WWW.EXE ago. Which version or you using? Check out the web site (www.dasoft.com) for the latest download. > when typing complex > AltaVista command line queries to save online time, you can run > out of box space. But when doing the same query using menu forms, > it works OK, so WWW/LX must understand full 255 char URLs You may be bumping up against a difference between what the underlying WWW.EXE program can handle (256 bytes) and a limit there may be in the HV program for the URL input box (128 bytes). I don't know if any of this has changed with the newer versions. > How can you specify two external viewers for the same extensions? Not in the HV.CFG file that I am aware of. If you list two, I suspect it will always do the first one. You could use a simple batch file and a CHOICE-type of program to prompt for you to specify which of those WAV-playing programs you want to run. > Have you considered asking for Vertical Reader embedded/added > into HV?

As far as I understand, DOS (and, i guess, Windoze) looks to the drive letter to determine if that drive is removable or fixed. I don't think reformatiing will solve your problem if the issue is with the drive letter assigned to the card. Can you maybe use DOS's ASSIGN command to make the card look like either a: or b: ?

Subject: Re: HP200LX won't turn on! MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I mailed the list a few days ago regarding a problem with my HP. When turning it on, it boots very slowly (sort of like watching an old 300 baud modem text display). It gets some length through the boot process (note: never getting to the topcard display) and then turns itself off, sometimes (but not always) restarting the boot sequence. It does this regardless of main battery state of charge, backup battery state of charge, or whether or not the AC adapter (the real HP item, BTW) is connected. It is very frustrating. I have disassembled the wee beastie. Under 10X magnification there are no evident cold or fractured solder joints. I compressed the battery terminal spring clips to ensure that they were not being intermittent; no help. Now this machine has been pampered. It is only about 15 months old. It has always resided in a leather case, and has never been dropped -- in short, it appears brand new. There is no *visible* probable cause of this failure. My question: has anyone even seen a failure remotely like this in the past? Between the inability of the HP to synchronize with Outlook (hey, they didn't let *me* pick our corporate standard PIM) and this inexplicable failure, I'm strongly considering jumping ship -- perhaps a Psion 5, or perhaps I'll just wait awhile.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello all; I recently received the message below. I seems that my little message board experiment is finally gaining some attention, although too late. The World Wide HP200LX User Message Board was a little experiment that I was going to try. I wanted to try it as a "pull technology", instead of the "push technology" that the HPLX mailing list is. However, it has never really worked right and with school, work and family, I really don't have the time to administer it. (Besides, I'm not sure how my ISP would feel about the extra traffic it would create!) One thing I learned when I was on the mailing list was that HPLX users are a verbose bunch of folks! ;-) But, if anyone wants to visit my 200LX page at http://www.enol.com/~rsmith/hp200lx.html or e-mail me with questions, they are always welcome to do so. I'm not entirely anti-social! ;-) If Yahoo has an HPLX club, then I would encourage its use. Thanks, and long live the HPLX!

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Mon, 14 Dec 1998 14:44:54 -0500 (EST) Hi, gang- Here's some more info for anyone playing around with X-Finder. I got DOS executables (.com .exe but not .bat) to run directly from the opening screen. Put in a line like this: %d=09,du=09,c:\charge\charge=09=09#charg-it=09Charge It The %d is the same for all items in the opening screen setup. The ,du I'm not sure about, but it works. Next is a comma and the path to your DOS program. Then # followed by a name (used to pick an icon). The final item is the long name that's displayed on the screen. Items are separated by hard tabs. This doesn't work with batch files... The location of each line in the list controls the position of the icon. Icons: The best place for your icons is in the .lzh icon archives. You can use your icon directory if you have one, but if it has a lot of icons, X-Finder takes a looooooooooooooong time to start. AFAIK the icon.lzh archive has most of the icons, and iconfld.lzh has those used for "folders" (directories). You can add your icons to these by doing something like: lha a -z icon.lzh whatever.icn or lha a -z iconfld.lzh another.icn You can add several at once by using *.icn instead of the name. Also, existing icons can be changed by doing: lha u -z icon.lzh new.icn if new.icn is the name of an existing icon to be replaced by one with the same name. Your new icon must have a later date than the existing one. The -z parameter is absolutely necessary to add your icons in UNCOMPRESSED form!

Hello all, I browsed the news at and frankly, the HPLX is in big trouble. No accessories for the future, unless... A new direct thermal portable printer from Seiko at only 13 oz. Called Seiko DPU-3445, with IrDA 1.0 and RS-232 interfaces. Don't know if it's A4/ltr/lgl sized or smaller. WinCE ready, but DOS? The company was formerly called Seikosha, made matrices printers. A product by Sierra (?) called Aircard 300, possibly an Ardis Radiomail replacement. PCMCIA Type II format, with wire antenna and very low power consumption for handheld devices (decreases battery life by only 15% used w/ a HP620LX); it can do 19.2kb/s transfer in both directions. Downside: only WInCE driver, no DOS; not even Win95/NT! I bet this will be the SH888 of the next three months! Let's start getting info/programmers for a driver or forget it forever. BTW, I'm pretty sure that Ericsson would give away info for SH888 should a guy walk into their head office showing around an OGO 700LX; so they all see NOKIA has an integrated solution for the same platform. No competitive company would let rivals do that. So, no new accessories for the future, unless...we make efforts to lobby, show up raising the DOS flag, even harass companies. Sincerely: Tamas Feher. PS: If you have connections with LMSI (Laser Magnetic Storage Inc. of America, a Philips subsidiary) please contact me! Also, if you have an older version of CISCO REMOTE LITE or REMOTE PLUS software, conctact me. I badly need it as a Trumpet Winsock replacement. I would appreciate any kind of help.

I had a 2M and a 4M unit to choose between. I wanted to get the 2M upgraded to have the larger backup size, but chose the 4M for upgrade because the display had significantly better contrast. I haven't had to pull out my backup in a year, so I'm convinced I made the right choice.

There are a few tricks and not-so-obvious pitfalls that some on the list have touched on. Stacker includes some neat utilities, such as stacpalm for palmtops and Stacker-Anywhere (probably trademarked). Stacpalm is just a stripped down version of the normal drive stacking program that has paths hardwired into it. It will work on an HP LX (the hardwired paths defeated my Zeos Pocket PC). Of course, if you have a memory-extended LX, you can copy the normal stacking program over and use that. Even if you don't have a memory-extended LX, you can use LapLink to connect to a host machine that has the Stacker directory on a drive (this is how I Stacked the memory card on the Zeos). The Stacker-Anywhere feature is implemented by Stacking a drive (typically a removable drive) using something (40-50K, I think) less than the full drive, and placing a stacker.exe file on the unStacked space. The stacker.exe file is visible when the disk/memory-card is placed in the computer (and the Stacker drivers are not enabled). Running the stacker.exe file gives one a command shell (command.com) with loaded and activated Stacker drivers to read the disk/memory-card. The only drawback to the feature is that there is an annoying "nag prompt" printed after every command is executed (if you've ever used it, you know what I mean). Again, you don't have to select the "Stacker Anywhere" feature from the menu screen or command line to use this feature. Simply use the command line or menu screen to Stack all but 50K or so of the disk/card and then manually copy stacker.exe to the unStacked space on the card. If you are Stacking a memory card, you might want to consider reserving more unStacked space. I keep stacker.com in the unstacked space, so that I can load it from the card (no need to suck up precious space on C:). Naturally, I have to keep a config.sys in the unStacked space (although, autoexec.bat, since it is called after the Stacker driver is loaded, can go in the Stacked space). You might want to reserve enough space to keep the following files unstacked: config.sys autoexec.bat (just in case your stacked drive gets corrupted) stacker.com stacker.exe (just in case you move the card to a machine without Stacker) check.exe (in case the stacked drive gets corrupted) I hope this helps someone...

With the PC Card in place, right click on "My Computer", choose "Properties", then "Device Manager". Expand the "Disk Drives" entry, double click on your PC Card to bring up its properties, choose the "Settings" tab, and check the "Removable" option. Takes less time to do it than to read how. NT4 doesn't have an equivalent procedure. I believe it gets the info from the drivers (but I'm only running that on a desktop with no PC Card slots). NT5¬h¬h¬hWindows 2000 has a "Device Manager", but doesn't have a check box for "Removable" for either the drive or the controller on it. It auto-recognized my 260 MB Type 3 HDD as a fixed drive; I haven't tried to change it because it's a double-spaced volume, and the Omnibook 800 I was testing it on dual-boots to W98 and NT5 Server.

The advantage with JAM is that you can access the compressed AND the uncompressed portion of the flash disk at the same time. As with Stacker, I have so far been unable to have a JAM volume recognized under Win95 but having an uncompressed portion on the flash card allows me to move the files I want to transfer to the laptop from the compressed JAM volume to the uncompressed portion which is then readable under Win 95.

Now, before I send the palmtop and $125 off to Thaddeus computing (that is a very reasonably-priced service, I might add), I have to look at the economics. There is still no synch solution for Out- look. So I could just shove the palmtop in a drawer and put that $125 towards a machine that will, and will give me most of what I had on the 200. Then maybe one day I could get the thing repaired. But it wouldn't be the primary machine anymore, at least not for PIM-ing. In all honesty, that's probably what will happen...

Yes it is possible; I do it every day.  With Windows 95, you need to create
a CONFIG.SYS file that contains the following two lines:

DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CSMAPPER.SYS
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CARDDRV.EXE /SLOT=2

That's all there is to it.  After you reboot, these drivers will let Windows
95 recognize the RAM card.

I'm obviously new to the list. I just discovered that HPLX-200 on the WWW this past week. I'm greatly intrigued, as this sounds exactly like what I've been looking for. I have some general questions before I start shopping online for one--so I thought I'd fire them here. 1) Minimal configuration for effective use. What would be the recommended memory configuration to get the most use out of the HPLX? I obviously want more than 2 megs of RAM, but would 4 be enough to run programs for downloading and reading email and doing minimalist text word processing, which are the two primary tasks I envision using the HP for? 2) Are used HPLX's a reliable choice? I've seen the Palmtop Paper site, and read over their advertising of used HPLXs. Are these a good choice in the sense of being in *good* condition? And does one get the manual, etc that one would would get with a new HPLX? 3) Other options of buying HPLXs...Just what are the options of buying an HPLX200 besides the ones I've listed above?

I also have several other machines, portable and not portable. I use these other computers for heavy computational work. My 200Lx is my PDA/PIM. This fact may influence my views, so factor it in. I have a 2mb 200Lx + 2 Flash Cards (5mb, 40mb). The flashcards solve 2 problems, transfer of data and backup. I prefer this strategy to a `large' regular memory in the 200, but YMMV. I'd say 2mb + 5mb Flash is plenty for minimal use. I'd say that Thaddeus (Palmtop Paper) has an execllent reputation through countless messages both here and in HPHAND on Compuserve. I have no relation to them, and bought my HP before I knew they existed. By accounts here, used machines seem to have excellent reliability, and were I in the market I would buy from them without hesitation. I'm sure EBay has HPs from time to time, but I can't offer you any reliability advice there. I have had no experience with them either way. My only general note is that I was surprised to find my HP200Lx and my Libretto to be complementary. I thought that getting the Libretto would end my use of the 200. It didn't. On the other hand, it did end my wish to have a `big' 200. The 200 has had an amazingly long life in an otherwise incredibly volatile marketplace. Having been given a Palm III that I have abandonded after about a month's use, I find that there is still no serious rival to the 200 for my purposes. David Ball wrote: > > Hello.

If I were going to buy one now, knowing what I know about them, I would probably get a new, 8 meg speed doubled version from the Palmtop Paper site.

This would give you lots of program and file storage space and still leave room for backing up the entire 8 meg ram drive to the flashcard.

I think the level of cheating lying swine that get their hands on 200LXes may be lower than for some other products:-). As for memory, It Depends. If you want to run a rich software suite with a modem plugged in, or keep a modem card in there all the time, then you'll want a big tract of RAM; 4MB would be barely enough to have a Good Time, and you'd probably end up compressing that (JAM works well). 32MB would be very sexy. But if you rarely use the modem card, or can comfortably lean down the files you need accessible while using the modem, then you might be better off sinking the extra $$$ on a flash card, rather than on a builtin RAM upgrade. I ran with a 10MB flash card for ages, and recently picked up a lovely 85MB card for just $300; so far I haven't had to compress my 85MB FLASH:-). And I put everything on it, basically leave nothing on my C:, which means I can easily rig things to just pop the card out, stick it in another HP, reboot and go --- which appeals since I'm working on my clock-doubled 5MB 200LX right now (flaked out screen) and am temporarily making do with my emergency-backup 1MB 100LX. Remmember, this is an 8086 running MS-DOS, so RAM over 640KB is not involved in running programs unless you play games with EMM drivers, which I haven't; all memory above that 640K is used for ramdisk. So the difference between a 1MB LX and one with more RAM is just the size of the C: drive --- and the first jump is a doozey:-). 384K C: on a 1MB machine, c. 1.3MB on a 2MB box, 4.3MB on a 5MB machine, etc. And that memory can be compressed, with a yield that varies (obviously) depending on the nature of the files; I mostly JAMmed etext and routinely saw 2.5/1 compression. -Bennett ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 16 Dec 1998 13:39:57 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Phil Drummond Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Phil Drummond Subject: Re: Thinking about buying an HPLX 200 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > >1) Minimal configuration for effective use.

Well... since the 200LX uses a software polling method to process keystrokes, it's possible to type faster on a double-speed machine. My max speed on my 2x unit is around 70 wpm, but only about 35-40wpm on a single-speed palmtop. So I would probably recommend the double-speed upgrade even if the machine will only be used for word processing. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 16 Dec 1998 15:06:26 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , ahollbeck@USA.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: A Hollbeck Subject: Re: Fight the evil, volunteer.

GSM identifies the digitial data format/protocol used. Thus the US does have a GSM = network. It is much more widely spread than you seem to think. I live in Alabama and have a GSM phone. I have never had any trouble when roaming in Washington DC, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida and Colorado. I should take this opportunity to mention that Sagem of France have a PCS GSM compatible phone with builtin modem and fax capabilities - model no CS 755. The nice thing with this phone is that it just appears as a normal fax modem to the palmtop and with no pcmcia card required it does not draw power from the palmtops batteries.

Commander Boggs of the 75th battalion in Desert Fox had commissioned his troops with HP WinCE palmtops after reading about the utility of the 95LX in the original Desert Storm of '91. Radio communications, however, had been lost with Boggs' battalion until early today, when they were found marching into North Africa, just inside Egypt. Apparently, the WinCE palmtop GPS cards were plagued by a ROM bug in the MS OS that affects time zone and long-lat displacement. Reports indicate that the GPS signal is processed by WinCE and guides all venturers to the nearest CE palmtop store, regardless of desired destination.

Or you can run the Windows client of the Filer serial protocol you can get from HP. Or you can use Zip. Or LapLink. Or I'm sure there are lots of other choices. My favourite other choice is lxtools, I run that on my Linux or Solaris workstation (moved, changed OSes, didn't have to change my tools at all, joy!). I use a little script to recursively lxcopy all files with the archive bit set to a mirror I keep on the workstation, then check the whole tree into a CVS repository, so I keep a running mirror over time, and can reconstruct the state of my LX at any point in time. Then I run a little batch file on the LX to invoke "attrib" to strip that archive bit off everything. -Bennett ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 17 Dec 1998 11:43:11 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Ness Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Ness Subject: Re: Best Ram/speed upgrade for 200LX?

Yup. And it says there across reboots. And it can even survive a deep reset (when you reset with ctrl-shift-on, it asks whether or not to reinitialize the ram disk). What's more, unless you deliberately reboot (ctrl-alt-del, or the above deep reset) the programs you have running stay right where they're at. It "goes to sleep" and wakes up right where you left off. That's what makes it so instantly useful as a working reference; you have your databases all loaded up into the apps that they work with, and hot-switch between them. The thing is, though, it _is_ DOS; if you play with programs you download, you'll find some that are buggy and end up crashing the machine, or corrupting the filesystem. And batteries sometimes fail. Backups are especially critical because this is such a _Useful_ tool, you get really dependant on it. -Bennett P.S. you might want to work on your Arachne config, you are sending out notes with truly useless "Subject: " fields. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 17 Dec 1998 12:01:59 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Bennett Todd Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bennett Todd Subject: Re: Best Ram/speed upgrade for 200LX?

People who test very carefully report a slight battery life reduction, maybe. It's not noticeable.

FW is old enough that it always thinks A is a floppy drive. Switch your Filer display to E: (assuming you normally have the "assign e:=a:" activated in the autoexec.bat) and you shouldn't have any problems.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I've only had the 6mb doublespeed upgrade, and I'll have to say that battery life is markedly lower, and I believe the T2T website explains that most of that comes from the speed upgrade (at least a 25% reduction in battery life)...at least that was the case a year ago. Don't know if they've made any improvements in the upgrades since then, but I'd check with them before making the upgrades if battery life is a consideration.

I would say so (subject to your ambitions). The text editor is built into the ROM and takes up no space from that 4 MB, so your major consideration is for how you read mail and how much of it and other texts you store locally to the palmtop (but consider, the entire text of Moby Dick takes only 1,214,678 bytes on mine).

TransFile Win 200 (free, found at ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/handheld_computers/software/tf103.exe, very easy to create and restore complete backups but not as good at preserving original file time/date information when manipulating individual files) and 2. LapLink Remote Access (included in the palmtop's ROM in D:\BIN, requires you to have some other file and directory management tools). If you spend for the HP Connectivity Kit (Thaddeus has them new for $119.95) you will get some advantages for running the applications on the laptop and converting between file formats. The HP Connectivity Kit includes the special serial cable, but they are also available separately (Thaddeus has them new for $24.95).

If you insist on Stacker 3/4 then it WILL work under win 95 if you use DOS PCMCIA drivers for your PC card slots. ie Remove 32 bit drivers and install DOS drivers in Config.sys.

If you copy xxx.jam to an UNcompressed hard disk on your laptop it is a great way to backup.. ie 10MB card = 20+meg of progs accessable under win95 from the HD. If you use drivespace or Doublespace you have to go only from the flashcard. i usually just pop the card into my laptop under win95 and jam driver. If I'm in a hurry and just want backup I dont worry about powering down and rebooting..to install the Jam driver... just copy the Jam file and do it another time if needed.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hi all! I am about to send in my 200LX in for a 8MB double speed or a 32MB double speed upgrade fromThaddeus as a Christmas present to myself. :) However, I have a couple questions. When reading about the TechRAM upgrade I came across this text... The 8MB upgrades give you 8MBs total and does not add to what you currently have. The 32/64MB upgrades create a separate 32/64MB drive and leaves your original C: drive space as it was other than original 4MB palmtops which will have a 2MB C: drive after installation of the 32/64MB upgrade. So, heres my question. I have a 2MB 200LX. It is obvious if I get the 8MB upgrade I will have 8MB total, and it sounds as tho I will have a 2MB C: drive and another 32MB drive if I get the 32MB upgrade, however I happen to know that some of the 2MB LX's have 2MB on the board and some have 1MB on the board and a 1MB daughterboard. Would this mean that some 2MB LX's upgrade to 1MB C: and another 32MB drive and others upgrade to 2MB C: and another 32MB drive??? I know that 1MB doesn't seem like much difference when you have 30+ MB, but I was just wondering. Thanks!

I've diddled with a couple of settings in NT, but maybe there's something I'm still missing. FW4 is just a big DOS app. I wonder if this happens to any other DOS app in NT or Win98.

Check out my DOSShell webpage, http://sac.uky.edu/~wally/dosshell.html It gives all the information you need to install and use DOSShell on the palmtop.

This can be used to recover some failures. To do this load the corrupt file in the PC version of Appointment Book then use the Menu - File - Extract option to save all data to a new (and hopefully non-corrupt) file which can then be copied back to the Palmtop. As an extra precaution at the Palmtop end, close the Appointment Book application then rename the working appointment book file. Reopen the Appointment Book application which will create a default APPT.ADB in C:\_DAT and then merge in the non-corrupt version from the PC into this empty Appointment Book. This may still not work completely, but it does solve some problems. c) Repeating items which are deleted when complete build up a large entry in the appointment book database, as data on each deleted item is still retained. For example, I have several weekly repeating ToDos where I delete the "One Occurrence" once completed. I believe this may have been the cause of some corruption in my case. To clear out this redundant data, it is best to regularly reset the repeating item start date to a more recent date, this removes the previously deleted item data. Removing items by date via the Menu - File - Remove option does do this. d) I struggled with the ADBDUMP/ADBLOAD utility (V1.2) in the hope of extracting data from my corrupt Appointment Book, and merging back into a new empty Appointment Book to create a clean file. The ADBLOAD function seems to work OK, giving textual or CSV listings of my Appointment Book, but I was never able to merge the new ADB file created by ADBLOAD back into the Appointment Book. I believe someone else on the list had similar problems recently, has anyone actually got this to work? e) I tried GARLIC as a last resort but this made the situation much worse, rendering the resultant fixed file unusable.

I just = bought a 200LX-1 meg from a posting I found on comp.sys.palmtops, that I = plan on upgrading, because I have a HP extended warranty on my existing = palmtop. It happened to be an HP employee that works in the calculator = division that bought it years ago and never used it. I currently own a 200LX-4 meg, that I use with 2-40 meg simple tech flash = cards. I keep my "C" drive as lean as possible, and store all the none = daily used programs on my flash cards. I run with about 2.2 meg free on = my "C" drive. The only time I have ever ran out of space on my "C" drive = is when I attempted to down load some file that was larger than the space = I had available on my "C" drive. I could have easily have downloaded = this file at home on my laptop or desktop computer, rather than try to = download it at work from my palmtop. I do own a DobuleSlot, but unfortuniatly it is not compatable with the = APEX 56k modem that I am using, so I can't use the flash card and the = modem at the same time. I did contact APEX but their answer was for some = reason some modems have a conflict when you try to use the modem & flash = card at the same time through the DoubleSlot. So realistically I have never ran out of room on my 4 meg unit, due to = having plently of storage on my flash cards. So, my plans are to send in = my used 1 meg I just bought to Thaddeus and have it upgraded to a 8 meg = double speed. This is the minimum ram upgrade they offer. I had planned = on spending a certain amount for this upgrade, then a while back I read a = posting from Hal at Thaddeus that the upgrades were going to drop in = price in the near future. Well as my luck usally doesn't have it, I just = called Thaddeus and talked to Sandy and she informed me that the 8 meg = double speed upgrade just dropped from $299 to $159. So I am going to send away for that in the next day or so. Also I am = going to buy their extended warranty and upgrade the included 90 day = warranty to 2 years for $75. The price of this is quite a good deal. Also you mentioned in your posting that you were curious how the uprade = affects battery life. Well reading many discussions on how upgrades & = flash cards affect battery life, they do put an extra load on battery = life, but for me that has not ever been an issue, nor will it ever be an = issue. The reason being that I use NI-MH batteries in my 4 meg unit & = use ABC-LX to constantly keep them charged while I sit at my desk all day = at work, so I have never, since I changed to the rechargables, gotten a = low battery alert. Good luck on your upgrade & Happy Holidays!

It can also be asked to display debugging information, which is somewhat difficult to read if someone needs to know (in plain English), what's wrong with their @#$@ database. What we need is someone with the time and .?DB know-how to write a diagnostic program that'll scan a .?DB and log potential problems (messed up pointers, missing data items, etc). A diagnostic program would "read only" to optimize performance, and leave fixes to the user. Presumably, if the program catches errors early enough, a simple fix (restore from backup or deleting a suspect record) is possible. Run as a nightly item, a program like this would alert us to when there's a crack in the dam, instead of finding out when we're miles downstream. If all runs fine, there's no message.

The problem with this comparison is that you don't see the benefits of an internal upgrade which can greatly outweight the benefits of flash for some folks. 1) The memory upgrades are internal and do not take up the PCMCIA slot. 2) They use much less power to read and write to. 3) They allow you to create large amounts of EMM for programs that can utilize EMM. Another thing to keep in mind is that there are extra costs involved with having to install the upgrades, as well as cover warranty issues, and they are not a mass produced product being only produced to work for the 200LX. This makes it an even worse comparison for flash being that it is mass produced and doesn't require installation. Just thought I would throw these points out even though I am quite biased of course. :-) Cheers, Mack ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 18 Dec 1998 10:21:48 -0500 Reply-To: Mack Baggette Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Mack Baggette Subject: Re: Thaddeus Memory Upgrades?

With a large internal memory, you don't take the hit on battery life that flash cards inflict on you, and read/write operations should be noticeably faster. Also, your slot is freed, so you can potentially keep your modem card in there all the time, as an alternative to carrying it separately.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Fri, 18 Dec 1998 11:19:44 -0500 (EST) Hi gang- Here's some more info for those folks who're playing around with X-Finder. You may already know most or all of this... The GoTo function includes a history list. After hitting F5 (GoTo), you can use the up and down arrows to scroll through a list of directories you've visited. The top screen is listed as \Palmtop. Selecting anything on the list and hitting ÝEnter¨ takes you there - no need to backtrack thru higher directories. Read-only files are indicated by underlined filenames. Hidden files can be included by doing ÝMenu¨-View-Hidden. Archives (.lzh & .zip) are treated pretty much as directories. Copy, Move, Rename, and Delete are completely transparent. Files must be marked to use Copy or Move. However, you can't edit icons inside archives... If you like to customize your icons, the default icons for drives, directories and files are in icon.lzh Drives =3D dsk.icn Directories =3D folder.icn Files =3D file.icn Other icons can also be shown for files & directories. File icons go in icon.lzh and directory icons go in iconfld.lzh Each directory and subdirectory screen has a "view up" icon (viewup.icn in iconfld.lzh). To add or change icons, you can use LHA from the command line with the -z option to stop compression (icons are in UNCOMPRESSED .lzh files). Or you can simply use X-finder's ability to treat archives as directories. Select the icon(s) you want to add, mark them (spacebar), and hit F2 (copy) and select the right archive. One bit of weirdness - When I looked inside the X-finder.zip archive, then into one of the icon .lzh archives within it, that worked fine until backing out using either ÝEsc¨ or ViewUp. Instead of returning to a view of the .zip archive, it started the Zip file transfer program in a MaxDOS session. Ctrl-Break got out with no problem... Go figure. Enough for now.

Hello all, Whoever posted that fluff about HP 200LX being used in Operation Desert Fox, that was not fun. Not even WinCE parts. Consider it a public service, that I DON't post my considerations on using palmtops under and after WWIII here. I hope someone finds the bug in either the speaker WAV player PLWAV_A4 or the HPLX hardware, that causes system clock reset to August of 2009 whenever the program is run. If so, please do report here as well. Until then, just look at this bug as a proof of Y2K compliance of the 200LX palmtop. 8-) Do you use command line Acrobat/PDF to TXT converter/stripper utilities? Those I have found were all 386 and up. But C source code of the Unix utility is public. Sorrowfully this unnecessary and fat document format gets increasingly popular. A big shame, but network oriented HPLX users must follow suit some time. Those happy Windows 3.0 users: Have you installed Multimedia Extensions for Windows 3.0 onto your system? At least speaker WAV driver should be usable. And a driver for convenient use of the japanese voice input device for HPLX via the sound recorder is certainly a nice project to do.

I haven't tried the Stereo Shell, but you should keep in mind that the "Volkov Commander" (avail SUPER) is a small and fast NC-clone that works very well on the LX. Its memory requirements are 155kb according to the documentation. The program itself is very small, programmed fully in assembler.

Hi, LXers,

Despite using the HP LX 200 for many years I find that I still keep a lot of my information in the traditional form - card files, scraps of note paper, etc.  which I generally can not find when I need the information the most. This is mainly because it is a chore to enter the information on the HP with my 2 finger typing skills.

Is there an elegant way by which my secretary can enter this information on her PC and I can then merge it into my HP LX? Has any one any other suggestions for this?

Cheers!

I'll have to check its memory > footprint. Volkov Commander needs 155kb to start, but only uses ~90kb when actually running (measured using LXpro's memory-free display). When running a program from VC, it can either run the program as is, or swap parts of itself out of memory first. When not swapping, VC eats roughly the aforementioned 80-90kb. When swapping it only uses 16kb. Swapping does not create a distinguishable delay on my single speed LX (with everything running from drive C) > Are you saying that the Volkov Commander has a smaller memory footprint > than NC itself? Depends on the version of NC, obviously ;-) I don't know about v3.0 and below, but I'm pretty sure it is smaller than v4.0 and above. Mind you, it doesn't have all the features of v4.0, the most significant one being the lack of the ability to treat archives (ZIP, ARJ, etc) as directories (this may actually be the only significant one). There is a version 5 of VC in the works, that these features (better than NC in fact), but as it is still in alpha/beta test, I haven't tried on the LX and not very much on the desktop either, in fact. The reason I chose VC over NC on the palmtop is that the program is much smaller. the VC executable is just 64kb and with the setup program, help file (another 64kb), etc., the total package is just 180kb. Mind you this is _without_ any fileviewers or editors, bar the built-in ones. Even so it is quite small. Must go now, it's late...

I have experienced a similar problem with FW4 under Windows 95. The error message seems to relate to a lack of available Dos memory. FW4 requires around 560K. By closing any other windows apps, loading some drivers high I have been able to get about 580k free and have set the memory setting by editing the PIF file, to 580k.

Does anyone know of any ill effects from = this? The effects of loading ABC in a SC session are that it's activities will be limited to functioning only when you are in that session. So, the timers will only run when you are in that session. The automatic starting and stoping of charging will only happen while you are in that session. You can only adjust parameters and see the graph of charging while in that session. In short, it is not recommend to load ABCTSR in a SC session. No harm will be done, but you certainly lose almost all of the functionality of ABC. The TSR portion of ABC only takes up a very small piece of memory (something like 2.5k). I don't think it will be a real problem to load the ABCTSR before running SC. Perhaps there is some other stuff you can tune of your CONFIG.SYS and/or AUTOEXEC.BAT files or other programs/TSR's you can move down into a SC session instead of ABC.

The original poster may have intended to set aside dedicated application sessions that need as much ram as they can get, and a "neutral" session would be the ABC/day-to-day stuff that normally serves as "home-base". If that were the case, he'd certainly lose most of the benefits you described, but could still get the benefits of automatic charging, which is usually the most troublesome part of living with rechargeables anyway. He'd just have to remember to leave his LX in the home-base config most of the time...or at least when plugging into a charger for the night. >The TSR portion of ABC only takes up a very small piece of >memory (something like 2.5k).

I tried to run SETVER on JAM.SYS to have the system report DOS 5.00 to it but with no success. Can you walk me through the process to have a JAM volume recognized under WIN95. I would very much prefer to run JMAX from my Libretto 50CT rather than on the HPLX. Could it have something to do with the fact that you have upgraded from DOS 6.00 to Win95 while the Libretto comes with Win95 pre-installed and no underlying DOS version ?

However, if someone can point me in the direction of a definition of the format of the Appointment Book file, if I find myself with nothing better to do over the Christmas period... well you never know. I know the ADBIO contains source code, but as I have had little success with this program, it must be lacking something, so a better definition of the file format would be useful.

I also automatically backup nightly to my flash card, and then each week to my desktop PC but I do not rename the file to create a new file each night. As I did not notice the corruption for a couple of days, I only had a week old backup to go back to which was too old to be much use.

This is my thinking and I am currently trying to create a scheme on the Palmtop which will generate a uniquely named copy of the Appointment Book each day so that I can go back to earlier versions. In the corruption situation I recently suffered, I unfortunately did not discover the problem until a couple of days after it occurred, by which time my automatically created nightly backups had ensured that any working versions had been overwritten. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 19 Dec 1998 18:23:35 GMT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ace Frehley Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ace Frehley Subject: Compaq PCMCIA 3.5 Floppy drive In-Reply-To: <3.0.3.32.19981219212702.006b25d8@nznet.gen.nz> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Just picked up server al of these for a song.

The first windows version was compatible for sharing data back and forth, but newer versions do a conversion when opening a stack (file) which makes the data a one way trip to the Windows version. The program is easily learned and searches are quick. For random data you need to retrieve easily I haven't found anything else that works for me as well as Infoselect. Another possibility is Lotus Agenda 2.0 tougher to learn to use - slower running on the 200LX - but it's free and Infoselect is about $50 a copy. Agenda is more powerful in manipulating your information - automatically sending items to views based on content or some other criteria you specify, but if you are like me, you just want to be able to find the note you wrote to yourself about xyz and Infoselect does this kind of thing painlessly. There are shareware and freeware programs I have tried and not liked as well - Usefull Notes - Scraps - Flexpad were some of the better ones I can remember trying. Others may be using these and can tell you how they like them.

I.e. big screen for graphic artists or for bad vision, Windows for some specialized software, big keyboard for touch typists why also type a lot, addiction to WEB graphics, multimedia., etc. Most of these things are not really needed for many people. So, like most, I need to keep track of people and stuff, communicate via fax & email, and sell some skills to make a living. All of this can be easily accomplished with a palmtop and built in or commercial software. As far as specialized work is concerned (I am a physician), I do my billing with a commercial program which is called EZ-bill (for a reason), and submit billings via modem. This can be done with any computer. And I wrote my own report writer (since I am a consultant and I kill trees on a daily basis) in dBase. Software Carousel allows one to keep all those things running at the same time. And what about telephone and answering calls? And messages? That's probably outside of this lists scope. All I can say that I've devoted years of effort to getting rid of the phone, and have succeeded.

I agree with you that as long as he keeps the SC session with ABCTSR active whenever possible, then the negative effects should be minimized. I would expect that if he is in his home-base session and ABCTSR starts charging, and then he switches to a SC session without ABCTSR running, that charging may not stop at all or it may stop 6 hours after he makes the switch to the SC session without ABCTSR. I would not mind looking at this person's CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files to see if there is any other tuning that can be done to squeek out some more RAM before SC loads. Also, I understand that if an EMM driver is loaded and SC is told to use the EMM for swap space, that it will also put part of itself in the EMM and therefore give a little more RAM to the sessions below it. This is probably worth checking into.

When working on the HP200LX perl modules, I decoded several such files and collected the results in the files on a BSCW workspace: http://falbala.wu-wien.ac.at:8684/pub/english.cgi/0/41413 Around this place you also find a few perl modules and scripts that play around with those files. Right now I'm able to export most of the ADB files, the importer is not done yet but already well in sight. A few quiet days might do the trick ;) If anybody want's to collaborate, drop me a line to add you to the BSCW work space so that you can add/edit stuff there too.

The source code for all programs is available. PNR has been downloaded from my web site over 400 times. A description of the PNR package, and the changes from PNR version 2.2 can be found below.

A special thanks goes to Ted Heise, who updated the PNR 3.0 documentation. PNR 3.0 ======= The Palmtop News Reader (PNR) is an offline news & mail reader. It is capable of reading: 1. Mail and news files created by LXPOP and LXNNTP on the palmtop 2. Standard UNIX mailbox format files 3. Bare format news files PNR features: o Mail and posts can be replied to, with full article quotation, and signature file support. o Alias support. o Basic kill file support. o Threaded. o Any message can be filed into a folder for storage or later use. o External files (e.g. articles saved by other news readers) can be imported and stored in a folder. o Replies can be re-edited before sending them (or even filed). o Proportional and fixed font support. Three fonts can be used which can be changed dynamically, allowing zooming. o Highly configurable. o The built-in MEMO editor or any DOS editor can be used. EXM editors can also be used via telling PNR which scan codes to stuff into the keyboard buffer. o And it's System Manager compliant! o And it's FREE! PNR 3.0 Change History ====================== Version 3.0 - December 1998 (Whitsunday Islands, Australia) ----------------------------------------------------------- Folders are now stored in separate folder files with corresponding article index files. The folder index file now contains an extra field for the basename of the folder file. The combination of this change, and the fact that folders are now stored in Unix MMDF format, is the first step to mail and news interoperability between the HP Palmtop and the Unix desktop. This major format change also improves the speed of saving index files (as article folder files and article index files for groups that have not been modified do not need to be rewritten). This change was also the enabling step for being able to re-save messages from one folder to another. Outgoing mail and news messages may now contain a Cc: header line. Adding a Cc: header line to a posted news article means that a copy of the article is also mailed to any addresses in the Cc: header line. The message handling routines have been improved to remove the 64KB limit on message size. The maximum size of a message is now 2048MB. -- -- Rod Whitby, Staff Engineer, Electronic Design Automation -- -- Motorola Australia Software Centre - Adelaide, Australia -- -- Phone: +61 8 8203 3526, Fax: +61 8 8203 3501, -- -- Personal: rwhitby@iname.com -- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 21 Dec 1998 11:42:18 +1030 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Rod Whitby Sender: HPLX Mailing List Comments: ( Received on motgate2.mot.com from client mothost.mot.com, sender rwhitby@fraser.asc.corp.mot.com ) From: Rod Whitby Subject: HP200LX TCP/IP Development Kit 1.0 released After many months of beta testing, I have the pleasure of announcing the release of version 1.0 of LXTCP - the HP200LX TCP/IP Development Kit. * You do not have to pay any money to anyone to use these programs. * LXTCP is copyrighted freeware, and can be downloaded from the author's home page: .

LXTCP 1.0 ========= LXTCP is a collection of freeware software programs for the HP200LX palmtop that provides clients for various TCP/IP protocols (such as SMTP, POP, NNTP, FTP, etc). Connectivity with the corresponding TCP/IP protocol servers is via one of the following mechanisms: a) a PPP connection via a serial cable b) a PPP connection via a PCMCIA or external modem c) a direct Ethernet connection via a PCMCIA ethernet card At the present time, three LXTCP programs are available. The LXPOP program allows you to transfer mail between your SMTP/POP servers and your HP200LX (ready for an offline reader such as the Palmtop News Reader). The LXNNTP program allows you to transfer news between your NNTP server and your HP200LX (ready for an offline reader such as the Palmtop News Reader). The LXFTP program is an FTP client for the HP200LX with quite versatile scripting capabilities. LXTCP 1.0 Change History ======================== Version 1.0 - December 1998 (Whitsunday Islands, Australia) ----------------------------------------------------------- LXPOP and LXNNTP output is now truly compatible with the Unix MMDF format (and version 3.0 of PNR). LXPOP and LXNNTP now have a "savesent" directive for saving outgoing messages to a PNR folder. LXNNTP can now deal with NNTP servers that require authentication.

I have a system that was upgraded from Dos/win3.11 I *believe* that this procedure will work from a native win95 system but dont have anything to test it on. This is what I did (with a few learnings along the way). If native Win95 there may be no config.sys in the root directory. Its ok to create a plain(ASCII) file with the lines to install the drivers.. STACKER 3.0 refuses to work under win95. I seem to recall Version 4.1 of Stacker will apparently work under ,95 but had no info on the Stacker home page about LX support so I decided to try JAM 1.25. JAM WORKS :)) Step by Step 1) If you have a Stacked Card you need to transfer all Data to another medium as Jam will replace your Stacvol file so you lose existing data.. 2) remove Stacker.sys from Palmtop Config.sys and reboot 3) Access A: and delete Stacvol.dsk.. (Backed Up yet? :) ) It MAY be System/hidden/Read Only...Attrib -h -r -s if Needed. 4) Create a Jam Volume on A: (I have Jam125.zip on A: outside my Jam file in case I have to set up on a new PC). Also I have a setup batch file to restore all if my batteries die and I lose C:.. Its saved me many hours of heartache...well worth the half meg I lose of Jam Drive. 5) Complete Config changes to Mount Jam file as new Drive. (I have both C: and A: Jammed on my LX giving over 40Meg stored on 8MegLX plus 10 Meg Card) 6) Transfer Data back to new Drive inside Jam...Or create a new Jam file on your PC same size..once you get Jam installed on the PC as below you will be able to Tfer the Jam volume taking less time back to your LX. PC Install under Win95 JAM needs to be installed Before Win95 gets control so Config.sys is a must. 1)Defrag the drive where you want your Jam file (Must be on an UNCOMPRESSED Drive). Create your Jam Drive File. I think the format is Jcreate U:\...\name.jam /s=yyy Its in the Jam Docs. If you have trouble email me offlist..yyy is size. 2)Create or add to Config.sys this line DEVICE =C:\Jam\Jam.sys 3)Reboot your PC using step by step confirm...F8 to get to options You need to do this to find out what drive letter is assigned by JAM driver. 4)Add to Config sys immediately after Jam.sys line DEVICE=C:\Jam\Jmount.com X: U:\etc X: is the drive letter assigned by Jam that you found out during step 3 U:\etc is the Uncompressed drive and path where you Created your Jam file. (NB MUST be full path and file name inc extention) 5) Reboot and you should have a nice new Jammed drive with letter X: that you can use in your LX as well. Pointers and questions.. jam.sys is an MSDOS mode driver so slows the system. I recall there is a way to fool Windows that any driver is "windows safe" Can someone advise details? It should allow for faster operations if compatible.. You must allow Windoze to finish writing to a card before removing it. If you Transferred your data to your PC HD and created the new Jam File on a Card you can copy Data direct into the new Jammed Drive and then Swap card to LX..."voila!!"

I'm positive that this will not work on the HP200, even if you could solve the power problem. The support for it was built into the Aero BIOS, I used to have one. As I understood it, it was not a normal PCMCIA device and required special support. The reason that support was built into the BIOS was so you could still boot off it and reformat your hard drive and stuff even without regular PCMCIA support and even if the hidden support partition got messed up. It would be super cool if it did work, of course, and I suppose that it might be theoretically possible to write drivers, but Compaq isn't talking about how it worked. -Bryan Palmtop wrote: > Ace Frehley wrote: > > > > On Sat, 19 Dec 1998 13:21:19 -0800 (PST), you wrote: > > >On Sat, 19 Dec 1998 18:23:35 GMT, Ace Frehley wrote: > > >> Just picked up serveral of these for a song.

Christopher Lott" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "R. Christopher Lott" Subject: TASM & PowerC Content-Type: text Just wanted to post some things I learned this weekend about using assembly language routines with the PowerC compiler. I know that some people (me included) use this compiler on the palmtop due to it's size and efficiency. I'm using TASM assembler, version 5, to write some assembly language functions. First, I tried the asm( void *, void* ) function. It seems to work as advertised, although I've seen an occassional "glitch" that I've yet to understand. To use this efficiently, I've prepared a small C filter program that takes the TASM list file and converts it to a C-style file suitable for including in your C program, thusly: tasm file.asm,,file.lst pr -e8 file.lst | lst2hex >file.hex Then, inside your C code, do the following: char asmcodeݨ={ #include "file.hex" }; I can't guarantee 100% operation of the lst2hex converter, but it worked for me for several test cases I was trying. I'll provide the program/source to anyone who requests it. Next, hoping to eliminate the "glitch", I tried calling an assembly language function directly. The Power C book describes the method to do this pretty clearly at the end of the book. You include a file called PCMAC.ASM, then invoke several macros. Two lessons learned: (1) For some reason, the INCLUDE directive didn't work as advertised on my palmtop or desktop - I had to omit the double quotes around the filename, then it worked great. (2) TASM assumes, unless otherwise directed, that all symbols are case insensitive, *and* uses upper case for them. This caused some concern when the linker couldn't find my function, tst20! Two workarounds are possible. You can use upper case in your C code to name the asm function (TST20 in my case), or you can assembly the code using the -mx option, which causes TASM to treat global symbols as case sensitive, thus preserving your specified name (tst20). Now for the "glitch"... I'm sending my asm function a pointer to an array/buffer in memory, and filling the array from the function. On several occassions, I have examined the returned array and found that the contents were shifted by one entry, thusly: expected buffer: 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, .... observed buffer: 0, 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 0, 0, 0, 0, .... This doesn't happen consistently, and I can't correlate it with anything that I'm doing in the code. Weird... Thought this might interest those who are using mixed assembly/C programming techniques on the palmtop. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

There's a pointer to it in the first bullet of the "Functionality" list, and another pointer to it in "Prerequisites". BTW, I found the internet kind of annoyingly slow this morning, so I fell back to my laziest way of doing these kinds of downloads; within a screen(1) session, I ran a lynx to wander about Ron's site and chase to the download areas of the off-site archives, and for each goodie I wanted, I highlighted the download link, used screen's cut-n-paste to copy the URL to another screen session, where I pasted it in as the arg to wget. Fetched all the bits at the same time. The URL for DOS PPP was . For the bigger picture, as far as I can tell what this is about is LXTCP is libraries and utilities for interacting with the old DOS standard "Packet Driver" OS network interface. There are a _lot_ of drivers out there, for various network cards, and a lot of client software. Ron seems to be trying to fill in the missing bits. I've yet to play with PNR 3.0, but if it's reasonable, then about the only remaining missing bit will be a good packet-driver build of a nice lean text-mode web browser, and I think we'll have a complete winner here.

It's at the "Hacking with Jorgen" site on SUPER, the LapLink under Win95 page, which is at http://www.palmtop.net/~jorgen/w95.htm. It says you have to add the driver name to the ÝSafeList¨ section of C:\WINDOWS\LOS.INI. This turns out to be a TYPO! It should be IOS.INI (that's a capital I at the beginning) and not LOS.INI.

First I put: device=c:\jam.sys in the config sys, and jam.sys in the ÝSafeList¨ section of C:\WINDOWS\IOS.INI. Then I rebooted. It gave me an "Incorrect DOS version" error when loading in config.sys, complaining that it only works with DOS up to 7.0. So I did: SETVER JAM.SYS 7.00 and put device=c:\windows\setver.exe in the config.sys right before the jam driver. Well, then it loaded, and reserved drive D: for JAM use. Unfortunately, nothing I did would make it mount any JAM volumes. No matter what I did, it would give me an "Invalid drive specification in " message. Even booting straight into DOS mode would give me this error.

It doesn't run yet, still. I load 'device=ms-flash.sys' in config.sys, but when I start 'memcard.exe' it says 'This device cannot be patitioned'. Display partitition information says 'Reserved 4096K', which is the exact size of the flash. It doesn't help to completely erase the card. I somewhere heard about a 'memdrv.exe' being a universal driver for sram/flash, does anyone have this?

The correct frequency is 31.673550MHz but you will have problems finding this crystal anywhere as it not only has to be in a very small can in order to fit the space available, but it has to be a fundamental crystal (rather than a third overtone) and hence is more specialised. Higher frequency crystals are typically 3rd overtone. Added to these problems is the fact that you will need a driver which is loaded in CONFIG.SYS to modify the operation of the palmtop for double speed e.g. correcting display scan rate to make it visible, alarm frequency, baud rates and other speed related parameters. Your best option may be to buy the crystal upgrade kit from Times2Tech and fit it yourself. The web address is http://www.Times2Tech.com. Also the FAQ at David Sargeants site has some useful info. Start at http://www.hplx.net/ >What kind of DIY memory upgrades there is for 200LX? I have >heard about 2MB and 5MB upgrades? There are several options available, I personally have fitted the Marcan 4MB upgrade which required some fine surface mount soldering to fit the necessary connector. You can purchase the connector and the 4MB upgrade board from them, and they deal with overseas customers (I am based in the UK). I have found Marcan very helpful and would recommend them.

For example, say I install the RM100.EXM application for RadioMail. Then it will ask me for the key combination, and I push Alt+ÝMemo¨. It will automatically assign it to the Alt+ÝMemo¨ key combination, so when I push those keys it starts the RM100.EXM application.

The answer to this question is a definite yes. I have been using LXTCP and PNR on my 2x 32M 200LX with a Megahertz XJ2144 PCMCIA modem for a year now. It was not easy for me to wade through the setup, but in hindsight it shouldn't have been that tough. It may be helpful to see my setup. Here is a brief overview. I put my program files in a directory named c:\lxtcp, but you can pick any directory name you want. I have the following files in my working directory (c:\lxtcp): chat.exe epppd.exe lxntp.exe lxpop.exe pnr.exm pnrti.exe pppd.cfg termin.com wattcp.cfg I have created two subdirectories (c:\lxtcp\filed and c:\lxtcp\mailbox) for saved messages and incoming/outgoing messages. My pppd.cfg file has: com2 38400 crtscts connect "chat '' AT&F OK ATDT7757000 CONNECT" user "xxx" passwd "yyy" namsrv 206.64.96.2 namsrv 206.64.96.3 where the strings after chat describe alternately the commands to the modem (AT&F and ATDT7757000) and the responses expected (OK and CONNECT). If you need a different initialization string for your modem, put it in place of the AT&F. Also, put your own local dialup number in place of 7757000. I think with an external modem you will need com1 instead of com2. Replace the xxx with your username and yyy with your password. The namsrv numbers should be the IP numbers for the DNS for your ISP. You may need to ask your ISP. Or check their web page. You don't have to have two different numbers, but it can help at times. My wattcp.cfg file contains: my_ip=bootp gateway=206.64.96.1 netmask=255.255.255.0 domainslist="nlci.com" smtp.server=smtp.nlci.com nntp.server=news.nlci.com pop.server=pop3.nlci.com pop.username=xxx pop.password=yyy lxpop.spooldir=c:\lxtcp\mailbox lxnntp.spooldir=c:\lxtcp\mailbox The bootp lets LXTCP get the IP number from the server (for use with dynamic IP assignment). The gateway and netmask are not needed, I think you can omit those lines. Next, you will need to replace the nlci.com, smtp.nlci.com, news.nlci.com, and pop3.nlci.com with the names of your ISP servers for each of these services. Again, xxx and yyy are your username and password. The last two lines tell lxpop and lxnntp where to look for messages--rename those to match the directory names you chose. Finally, (almost there :) you will need to have pnr.cfg in your c:\dat directory. The following lines must be in it: ÝPNR¨ user=theise host=netins.net name=Theodore Heise folder=c:\lxtcp\filed spool=c:\lxtcp\mailbox timezone=-0500 The user, host, and name can be whatever you want--they will be used on outgoing messages. The folder and spool must match the directory names you picked above. Timezone is relative to GMT, but I don't think the line is required. Feel free to e-mail if you have questions.

It's great on my desktop/laptop machines, but the power requirements are too great for the 200lx. The bulge you're referring to is the antenna. The card draws power from the host, and the 200lx won't come on with this device plugged in, even on AC power. I've heard rumors that someone has a Windows CE version of this coming out, though I don't remember who. This will be our best shot due to CE's desire for low-power, though we will still have to write drivers and knowing microsoft it'll probably be some softmodem type of device that can't work in non-windows products. --Patrick McGouirk Computer Systems Administrator 13WMAZ-TV -----Original Message----- From: David Sargeant To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU Date: Tuesday, December 22, 1998 11:49 AM Subject: Symphony cordless networking >I saw an ad in a magazine for a cordless home networking product called >Symphony, with further info available at http://www.proxim.com/symphony4. >Looks like they have a transceiver that plugs into your computer, and then >you can link up with other computers, or (this is the interesting part) >link up with a PC Card version.

(It's no longer under warranty.) I suspect that the screw's anchor tore loose, though I may be wrong. If I'm right, it should be easy to fix; and if I'm not, the procedure to go in to fix it is exactly what you'd need to do to find out what's actually wrong anyway, so who cares? First thing, I'd go visit Ý1¨, where there are nice instructions about how to dismantle your palmtop. They --- naturally --- describe in some detail what's supposed to keep it from coming apart. That probably won't tell you all you need, by itself. The big tip I'd add is to take it slow and gentle; if you think you have to force something, you need to wiggle the bits some more, or find a different way to twist or press or something; LXes come apart and go back together without a lot of muscle. Next thing I'd do is swing by the nearest Sears that carries a pretty complete lineup of tools; there's a very nice Craftsman Torx T6 driver. Mine says PROFESSIONAL T6x2-1/2 USA 41551 in white lettering on the black plastic handle; there's a red plastic spinner knob at the end. A T6 is a pretty darned small Torx; this thing looks like a vicious implement to load into a blowgun. Sears sells it as a single piece --- you don't have to buy a set. Doesn't cost much. Next thing is I'd get a can of spray air; Radio Shack usually has that, a camera store might work as well. If your LX is anything like mine, you'll find entire families of dust weasles that need blowing out. Canned air is less likely to spray little droplets of saliva than I am; your drool may vary:-). And finally I'd get a little tube of crazy glue. It's cheap, and if you do in fact need it, you won't want to have to leave your HP LX lying in pieces, or do an extra reassembly/disassembly (particularly since that intermediate reassembly might be unusually hard). The glue is to glue two bits of case plastic together, if that helps in picking what sort. Ok, when you take the four feet off, then pull the four Torx T6 screws from underneath, then ease the case apart (nice detailed directions in Ý1¨, but remember it doesn't take forcing, just patience and easing) I suspect, if your palmtop suffers from the same thing mine suffered from, that you'll find one of the screws anchors broke loose from the inside of the case. Here's where I'd try the Crazy Glue. I've not yet attempted to fix mine --- didn't have the glue on hand, haven't gone back into it. So I can't vouch for a variety of glue. One last note: if you aren't already subscribed there, you might want to sign up for the hplx-l mailing list; I found it from Ý2¨. It seems like most of the serious 100/200LX mavins have headed there, from comp.sys.palmtops. -Bennett Ý1¨ Ý2¨ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 23 Dec 1998 20:46:40 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Adalipu Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Adalipu Subject: Re: help needed with AMD D series flash card Comments: To: Ari Pitkanen Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Ari Pitkanen wrote: > Hi, > > Check these FTP-sites: > > ftp://ftp.pu.ru/.1/hw/pcmci/phoenix_pc_card_manager/pcmplus/ > ftp://ftp.pu.ru/.1/hw/pcmci/phoenix_pc_card_manager/dos/ > > Regards, Ari Pitkanen > > ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml User anonymous access denied...

Quinton, I don't think PNR has anything to do with it. LXTCP makes the ppp link and everything else rides on top of that. I use CHAP authentication with LXTCP dialing into Netcom.

I've been enjoying the flexibility of SW Carousel, and being able to run without an A: drive. (Now I can slip my ThinFax (14400/4Mb) card in and out without rebooting - seems the ThinFax driver and ACE card driver are incompatible ... long story.) BUT TO GET TO THE POINT: now I've noticed that sometimes, but not always, when I turn off the machine, insert the ThinFax, and turn on the machine, then some keys don't work - Enter, l, d, Appt, et al. If I remove the card, all is well. If I wait a while, then eventually the problem clears up, but then the problem can reoccur when I REMOVE the card. Tonight I discovered that if I wait a few seconds before turning the machine back on, then I don't seem to have the problem. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the speed upgrade, since in the past I always would have rebooted before and after using the ThinFax card. I wonder if this waiting a few seconds is really a fix or just a coincidence. I also wonder if replacing CIC100 with LXCIC would solve the problem. Has anyone experienced this? Or does anyone have any thoughts on the matter?

I was using a SimpleTech 33.6 modem, and if I stuck it and didn't wait a sec or two before turning the LX on, it'd actually reboot and say, "Exiting backup mode". I figure that the added current draw of the modem was enough to shock the machine into rebooting. You could be seeing something similar, but with a lower power 14.4, and the added variable of the flash driver for the EXP, it could just be enough to hang the machine. That's my guess, anyhow.

I Hope some has come to your rescue (your down 200lx) If not try this 1. take out the main batteries and let the unit set for about 3-5mins 2.then put the batteries back in and try the on key again. 3.if that does not work hold down esc key and turn on the unit.(this puts the unit into system test mode. 4.you can do a hard system boot (but this deletes all info in the unit) hold down ctrl, on,and up arrow keys. if none of these work then you service of course there are many other way to get the system to turn on but it's over my head but I am sure others on line can help you good luck Bob Elliott Jr (OS2B) ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 23 Dec 1998 00:10:45 -0800 Reply-To: camba1@pacbell.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: bob1 Subject: Re: 200LX Nightmare Comments: To: Aaron Billin MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Aaron Billin wrote: > > After turning my 200LX on and off once yesterday morning, it now fails > to turn on.

With Memo, I can create a text file that is searchable. With Square Notes I can throw a bunch of text files into a searchable "database." One example of the way I use the program would be, say, there are a couple of posts to the list that have information that I think I might want to keep for future reference... I save them as I go along into individual text files. I could put them into one big text file, allowing me to "search" for the information I saved when I need it. I could even cut and paste the info to a new file if I want to share it with someone else. That works fine until the file gets really big. Alternatively, I can keep the posts in individual text files. Finding the information I know is there somewhere requires using a TREX -type utility. It works, but it's work. If, instead, I import the individual text files into SQN, I can do string searches on all the info at one time. The program will bring the notes containing the search words to the front so I can easily find the one I'm looking for. I can assign subjects or categories to the notes. I can export some of the notes to a new file. I can print with minimal formatting. I can select the notes that will be of interest to another genealogist and give them only that information. I usually assign a date line to notes and keep them in chronilogical order so stuff is sorted automatically from oldest to newest. One other use for the program is lists. I maintain a list of people at work that are classified by qualifications. If I want to print out a list of people who are qualified to do one task or people qualified to do one task and one other specific task, I can easily sort the list, excluding all other people, and export to a text file. The really useful thing here is that not all information is dumped to the file. I can specify whether everything gets printed or whether only the information below the -.-.-.-.-.- line gets printed. Anderson, Joe - qualification A - quick and efficient -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- A - Joe Anderson Smith, John - qualification A - slow to the point of useless -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- A - John Smith Could print out as: A - Joe Anderson A - John Smith If I choose to only print the information below the line... Very politically correct. Mainly, though, I use it to keep track of a lot of unrelated or loosely related genealogy data. I receive tons of info from people who are doing research in the same area I am and we exchange quite a bit via email. If I import the emails into SQN, I can nearly instantly tell if I have anything on Rachel Clements or not (or who else may). Looking through piles of papers to achieve the same result can take a long time. Sometimes I am only sharing info given me by one researcher with another researcher who may be searching for people for whom I have data, but who are not related to me. I don't think I've explained this very clearly, however, the program is very useful to me. The only drawback is sometimes it seems to be very slow when I am not using the AC adapter. I've become accustomed to this, but it may bother others.

No known species of reindeer can fly. But there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and although most of these are insects and germs, this does not completely rule out flying reindeer, which only Santa has ever seen. 2. There are two billion children - persons under 18 - in the world. But since Santa doesn't appear to handle the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist children, that reduces the workload to 15 percent of the total, or 378 million, according to Population Reference Bureau. At an average rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes. 3. Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west, which seems logical. This works out to 822.6 visits per second. So for each Christian household with good children, Santa has 1/1000th of a second to: * park, * hop out of the sleigh, * jump down the chimney, * fill the stockings, * distribute the remaining presents under the tree, * eat whatever snacks have been left, * get back into the sleigh, and * move on to the next house. Assuming that each of these 91.8 million stops are evenly distributed around the earth, we are now talking about: 0.78 miles between households, a total trip of 75.5 million miles, not counting stops to do what most of us must do at least once every 31 hours, plus feeding the reindeer. This means that Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second, 3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second. A conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 mph. 4. The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium-sized LEGO set at two pounds, the sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is invariably described as overweight. On land, conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that "flying" reindeer could pull 10 times the normal amount, we cannot do the job with eight, or even nine. We need 214,200 reindeer. This increases the payload - not even counting the weight of the sleigh - to 353,430 tons. Again, for comparison, this is four times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth II cruise ship. 5. With 353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second, there is enormous air resistance. This will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as a spacecraft re-entering the earth's atmosphere. Houston, we have a problem! The lead pair or reindeer will absorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy per second. In short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them, and create deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within 4.26 milliseconds. Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.09 times greater than gravity. A 250-pound Santa, which seems ludicrously slim, would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force. In conclusion - If Santa ever did deliver presents on Christmas Eve, he's dead now. ----------------- But seriously folks, everyone have a happy holiday season. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year.

Before you entered the name of the EXM program, it assumes it is a DOS program and so sets the key assignemnt to Ctrl-123. But as soon as AppMgr sees the .EXM ending, it removes that default key assignment because it knows you need to set one. You can then set the hot key assignment for your EXM by pressing the F4 (Setkey) function key. If you don't do it that way and just press F10 for OK, then it notices you didn't assign a key and so it asks you for one. So, it can be done either way. You cannot use a key combination with the Fn key for a EXM hot key. Only Alt and Shift and Ctrl combinations.

I have only used the software a few times today, so I don't have an accurate picture yet. The first time I used the software it kinda freaked out some repeating alarms that I have in my appointment book when it was dialing the NIST. To solve this problem I just run it from within a maxdos session and it doesn't interfere a bit. The long distance call to Colorado only takes about 10 seconds so it should be feasible to call once a day to keep my clock accurate.

It is funny this should come up I also have just invested in 1300mah NiMH batteries from a local electronics company here in Western Australia. I put a charged set in on Monday and noticed that the voltage (as reported by BUDDY) was not as high (2.78v) as the Alkaline's I was using. It is now Thusday and BUDDY is reporting 2.56v @ 3.94hrs of use it seems to be holding around 2.5v and I'm hoping it remains that way as I normally get 28-30 hours (without alarms) from Alkalines. It is not looking good at present but then I've been using 3-4 alarms a day, with a custom tune that is probably twice as long as the default alrm.

Other than limiting code space and making things miserable for the programmer, what advantages do you see? And you are right, PE is a text editor, never meant to be a word processor. Neither is Memo.

The frames work fine and are supported, in a way. A Webpage with frames is really two or more webpages displayed on the screen at the same time. The webpages are named in a FRAMESET. WWW/LX Plus folks chose to support frames in a unique way which considers the limited screen size: They create a webpage on the fly which contains links to each of the webpages mentioned in the Frameset, so you can visit each of the webpages included in a frameset. What seems to be not supported is Java and Javascript - but this is so totally ridiculous on a DOS palmtop anyway... Also, the tables are pretty poorly supported, if you ask me, but with the limited screen, at least there is something... * Arnie H. * ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 24 Dec 1998 15:41:07 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: Word Processing project In-Reply-To: <199812242303.PAA00086@ftel.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Thu, 24 Dec 1998, A Hollbeck wrote: > I fail to see what EXM buys you.

I heard there were two full > length novels written on the palmtop, is this true? Well, I know of one guy who wrote two full-length books in WP51, but they weren't novels. I would imagine there are other people who have written them on the palmtop as well-- it's great. WP51, though, is not exactly brimming with user-friendly commands-- you need to learn the old way of doing things to use it. Word 5.5 is somewhat better, but lacks all the features of WP51. So, I guess what I'd like to see, is PalEdit enhanced with "word processing" features, but still retaining the modern, palmtop-friendly way of doing things. If that makes sense. It's probably not worth the trouble just for the few of us who do real, serious word processing on the palmtop... but maybe such an application would inspire more people to do so. :) ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 25 Dec 1998 11:32:00 +0100 Reply-To: Herm.Kellinghaus@t-online.de Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Hermann Kellinghaus Subject: Re: EXM, etcetera Comments: To: stanleyd@CARROLL.COM In-Reply-To: <199812231625.LAA24924@hil-img-ims-4.compuserve.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > -----Original Message----- > From: HPLX Mailing List Ýmailto:HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU¨On Behalf Of > Stanley Dobrowski > Sent: Wednesday, December 23, 1998 5:25 PM > To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU > Subject: EXM, etcetera > > .... > > You cannot use a key combination with the Fn key for a EXM hot > key.

Hmm.... sounds like a challenge! :) Which version is most suited for the palmtop? What additional features does it have that WP51 doesn't?

Not silly at all. In fact, it seems to be a frequent theme here. I have to put in a plug for LXTCP/LXPOP and the Palmtop News Reader. Multiple accounts: LXPOP is set up to get e-mail from a single POP server, but it is relatively simple to write a configuration file for each account and use a batch file to swap them. I've grabbed e-mail from all five of my accounts without any problem. Sending from different accounts may be a bit awkward. The only way I can think of is to edit the From: and Reply To: headers for individual messages after they've been composed. It's not too handy, but can be done. As far as I know, there is no way to limit the download of attachments. I'm sure others will point out if I'm wrong. :) Your third "requirement" is a PNR strength. LXPOP itself is not SysMan compliant, but during upload and download of e-mail who needs it? One feature I really like about PNR is the ability to switch between it and other LX apps--and to use Memo for message editing. Filtering is available in PNR in the form of a kill file. I haven't used it much, but it is there. Of course, if you want sophisticated filtering you could look into procmail. That's my take on things, feel free to ask questions.

I always preferred WordPerfect (used v4.2 and 5.1), but that's just personal opinion. I do think it had more features than WS, at least until WordStar 2000 came out. However, I know WS was much smaller (which equals palmtop friendly), with many versions running with as little as 64kb memory because of overlay files (a leftover from the good old CP/M days). I still have an old CP/M version of WordStar somewhere... Any chance of you sharing a copy of v3.3 (along the lines of the "abandonware" concept)? It would be easier for me to use it this way than transfer my version from its 5.25 inch disk and onto the PC (and then using it with an emulator, which should be possible) and I'd only use it for playing around with anyway.

The more hours a battery stays over that voltage (where the Palmtop sounds the low battery alarm) the better. The pursuit of the peak is truly meaningless.

You're right about the SC switches being very fast now. I'm just a fanatic. > Right, it is not the same.

Well, I have heard that programs using NKIT and the routines built into the palmtop BIOS can actually be smaller than ordinary DOS executables. But I have no experience (yet) in actually creating one. Maybe Jorgen Wallgren or some other EXM programmer can let us know the details on this. > You never finished that thought.

Yes. That's true. Avi Meshar does a lot on the palmtop. Another guy, Davis Chapel, has recently released a novel e-text at the HPLX Unplugged site, and he uses a 200LX... though he doesn't specifically say if he wrote the book on a palmtop. :) > That is a good point!

True. But there are some features I would really like to see, like more modern keyboard commands, since I use WordPerfect 8 on the desktop as well, and many of the keyboard commands are not similar between the two. It would be nice to be able to zoom and what not in WP51 as well. Perhaps there's some way to remap the keyboard in WP51 so that things like shift-arrow text selection work?

What he meant was that PNR comes in a true SysMan EXM version, and is the only one of the popular e-mail solutions on the 200LX to do so. The others are regular DOS applications. EXM and EXE, of course, each have advantages and disadvantages, which I believe we've discussed in the "Word processor" thread. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 25 Dec 1998 22:58:46 -0500 Reply-To: theise@netins.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Theodore Heise Subject: Re: pop3 email program A Hollbeck writes: > > > Multiple accounts: LXPOP is set up to get e-mail from a single > > POP server, but it is relatively simple to write a configuration > > file for each account and use a batch file to swap them.

With LXTCP I can dial up and establish a PPP connection. I can then call LXPOP with one configuration file and it will download all messages from one POP server. I can then call LXPOP with another config and get all messages from another POP server. Same login session for the PPP. The multiple calls can be easily written into a batcch file. > But it would be wonderful to be able to use System Manager > apps while replying to messages. I do not see why the > limitations you described about PNR are its "strength" as > you described it... Can you elaborate please? Again, I must not have been very clear. LXPOP is the part that uploads and downloads messages. PNR is the part that reads, writes, and files messages. LXPOP is not SysMan compliant. I suppose you could run it in a DOS shell and task swap while it was running, but for the two minutes or so that e-mail is being sent and received, I prefer to watch the transactions. PNR on the other hand runs like any other native LX app. During reading, writing, or filing of messages I can readily switch to any other LX app and back. In fact replies are written in Memo. Hope that is clearer. Feel free to ask if anything isn't.

I'm not sure. Yes! This is the single function I miss the most whenever I use WordPerfect. It seems like it would be relatively simple to remap Block On (F12?) becomes Shift-LeftArrow, but making it work exactly the same (i.e., *holding* the shift key) might be a bit tricky.

Unfortunately, when I run it, it goes into an infinite loop. When I exit WordPerfect, BuddyDOS unloads, and HDM reloads. However, it goes right back into WordPerfect again. I have to use ctrl-break while the batch file is running to terminate it. I figured out that BuddyDOS, when exiting, was somehow leaving something in the keyboard buffer.

It's freeware and has all the options you need to handle those batteries. You can set much longer fast charge times, watch for the voltage where the battery just won't take any more (2.88v on my machine) and switch to slow. The NiMH batteries take MUCH longer to charge than NiCads. I typically charge for around 18 hours on fast before I reach the peak voltage. You will learn a lot about the battery's charge/discharge characteristics by examining a Battlog graph. Charge-It! also produces a graph during the time it is controlling the HP. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 26 Dec 1998 14:33:41 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Laust Brock-Nannestad Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Laust Brock-Nannestad Subject: Re: FLUFF: Re: CP/M programs on the LX?

Simple ASCII graphics, but excellent "Donkey Kong" like gameplay (only better of course :-) I did manage to get it running on my old 486 a few years back (using 22NICE, a CP/M emulator), but getting the timing right was tricky (the game doesn't have any timing routines of its own) There is also a FreeBSD remake out there somewhere (with C source), but it isn't all that good (the "graphics" are right, but the controls aren't). There's an Amiga version too, which I have never tried. The memories... I almost destroyed a keyboard playing Ladder (surely not from smashing the keyboard when failing "Point of no Return"? ;-) I still have the NCR Decision Mate V, though. Might turn it on one day to sit in the green glow from the monitor and play a little Ladder...

I'm not clear on how to do that.

Subject: novatel wireless's sage cdpd modem Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii hey all i just picked up a novatel wireless sage modem, a nifty little external cdpd modem. they retail for $200 with a 12 month service contract from bell atlantic nynex mobile ($55/month, unlimited). the sage supports speeds up to 19.2k, tho with a lossy signal i seem to get about 600-700cps. it runs off a custom 5-pack 1350 NiMH AA batteries which are rechargeable in the unit and last about 2 hours continuous use. it's size is also very comparable to the hp, not as wide and a bit thicker. although it doesn't directly support dos or the hp, it was relatively simple to get the two working. the sage requires some initialization which can be done manually through datacomm or by using the windows client. I was in a hurry to get it done, so i used the client :¨ as far as the hp is concerned, it's a regular modem through which a ppp or slip connection has been initiated. i tried out some popular packages (www/lx, nettamer, wattcp clients) and this is what i got so far: nettamer doesn't seem to like the sage. the program just isn't flexible enough by default to even get around to establishing the connection (loops during dialing). would most likely have no problem if i could get it to do a manual connection. www/lx works fine. of course, i only was able to use the demo version, so testing is a bit akward.. seems as if the two love each other tho. i used a modified direct connect script to get it together. hopefully i'll be able to get enough money to buy this, at it's the only option i see for web browsing on the hplx at the moment. wattcp clients also work fine. i used dosppp v0.6 as the packet driver, there was a little trouble getting it to work with slip packet drivers (which i prefer because of the smaller memory usage). there is a problem with bell atlantic nynex mobile's setup though, they have a firewall setup which seriously interferes with most tcp connections (udp and icmp are fine) like telnet and ftp. because of the holiday i have not had the chance to complain. there's still a lot more testing to do, i'll keep you informed if there's interest :¨ --francois ¬-who wouldn't mind recieving www/lx as a late christmas present right now :¨ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 26 Dec 1998 16:29:42 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Souza, Mr Stephen" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Souza, Mr Stephen" Subject: Re: Word Processing project Comments: To: David Sargeant MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain I have not used WP for a few years but it is possible.

I have WS 4.0 loaded on a HP200LX PC card and have both the spell checker and thes. loaded, It runs slow but is better than Memo for certain documents. I ca not spell so prefer to use a spell checker. The after market checkers are not the same as a built in one. Some company bought out the old WordStar software and holds the license, maybe we could get them to allow the use/distribution of the older software via some type of agreement, last I heard WordStar 2000 was selling for less than $30.00.

You will not get the same number of hours between charges with NiMH batteries that you get from a set of alkalines. Alkaline batteries have about 2-3 times the capacity of NiMH batteries. So, you can expect 1/2 to 1/3 the amount of hours between charges - depanding on how low you let them get before recharging. > Can anyone comment on charging NiMH in the Palmptop? The built in charge cycle in the palmtop is too short to fully recharge a pair of NiM batteries but with software like ABC/LX, which I think you said you have, you can lengthen the charge cycle and make sure the batteries are fully charged each time.

Right - that is the voltage conversion circuits in the palmtop getting warm and tha is quite normal. The display will also dim during charging and that is normal also.

It would probably be better if you used a program such as ABC/LX to monitor the charge cycle and automatically turn off charging when the batteries were full rather than playing with restarting the built in 6-hour charge cycles. I don't think you will really hurt the batteries the manual way, but you may be overcharging or undercharge them sometimes. BTW, I work Tech Support for D&A Software, but I also think ABC/LX is a great product anyway.

You can try exporting the particular account that is having the trouble, delete it, and then import it again. Maybe the export function can get past the corruption. Or at least it will export as much as it can before getting stuck. You can also try using the 200 CPACK to convert it to desktop Quicken format and then back to PQ format again. Maybe this can clean it up.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Here's one for the battery/power usage gurus out there. Reading the manual, I see they suggest turning off the palmtop if you are not acutally entering data or using the processor, to save power. I developed a habit of hitting the on/off key when pausing, thinking, going vacant, cogitating, deliberating, and waiting. Now, I have read (not in depth!) the SDK manual and they state there is a battery power hit each time the palmtop is turned on. With an automobile, you need to idle for between 2 and 5 minutes before stopping and restarting the engine is beneficial to fuel consumption, as the average start takes more gas than 2-5 minutes constant idle. It also pumps out more polutants in the first moments of starting than at a constant idle. Does anyone know, or can anyone work out, just how long the time period is in the palmtop that would equal the start hit? Of course the variable of a memory card is a big factor, as I have just started using a Viking 32meg card, which is fast, but hungry!

Almost immediately I bought another case (KiwiGreen) which I like much better. So away goes the Targus. I am $45 US. This case "accommodates all popular models of Ýclamshell-style¨ PDAs and HPCs, plus PC Cards, disks, spare batteries, credit and travel cards, pen, business cards and a checkbook" according to the Targus web site description. It has lots of pockets, that's for sure. But you'd be hard pressed to put both a 3.5 disk AND a checkbook in it. The case is held closed by a velcro strap. Opening the case reveals on the left 7 card pockets, including one with a "see-through" panel for picture ID cards, etc. There is also a large vertical pocket where a checkbook could be inserted. The right side of the case is a compartment for the PDA. Once unzipped, this compartment will hold a pda up to 7.25 x 4 x 1.2 inches in size. My 200lx fits with room to spare, and my 320lx fits tightly but ok. The pda is attached to the case via Velcro connectors in the way most cases do. The quality of the leather case is typical of Targus products. The case's condition is almost like new. It's been lying on the counter collecting dust for a few weeks. However, there are no signs of wear. I never used it. This case retails for just under $80 US. You can see a picture of it at www.targus.com/products/CH300.htm. The first offer of $45 US gets the case, including USPS Priority mail to the contenental 48. A buyer from elsewhere will pay extra for additional shipping costs.

Ayup. I had Radio-Shack 850mAH NiCds, and when R-S got in their NiMHs I upgraded, after enjoying the NiCds a couple of years. I forget the exact alleged capacity of these, something like 1200mAH. I handled 'em both the same way --- my 200LX (or 100LX when my 200LX is being worked on:-) is my only battery charger. I take the brand new, stone cold batteries, and put 'em in the HP while it's running on the AC adaptor. I enable charging and go through a full charge cycle. Then I unplug the AC adaptor and plug it back in, to get a second full charge cycle. This pretty much topped off the NiCds; it does rather less for the NiMH's --- but that's fine, because.... I run batset (available from S.U.P.E.R.) to set the "high-current" charge time down the the shortest interval it supports, one minute. Thus after a quick spurt, the charger in my HP is always running on trickle. And trickle-charging is a low enough current that it doesn't damage the batteries even when they're already full. So I plug it in whenever I'm sitting at my desk at work, and I plug it in whenever I'm sleeping at home. Works like a champ. The only time I fiddle with batset is when I'm travelling. E.g. when I sailed the Newport to Bermuda race, there was a stretch of about a week when I didn't get plugged in, so I gave it a shot of quick charge. Just for peace of mind, I keep a two-AA min-maglite loaded with single-user Li batteries (the ones that last forever:-), in my bag, as my "emergency spare" batteries. Haven't had to put 'em in my HP yet. -Bennett ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 28 Dec 1998 07:27:53 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Longden_Loo@CANDLE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: Runnability of 1-2-3 V2.4 on the LX Comments: To: David Sargeant Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Might have been "Always".

In general, it seems to me that Software Carousel can be used with the Appointment Book open without problems. The problems on my machine arise when it crashes in another work area while Appointment Book is open. Although it should be noted that the Appointment Book is particularly sensitive to corruption... it is the only application you cannot start two implementations of in two separate work areas, for instance. So it's probably a good idea to shut down the Appointment Book before switching, just to be on the safe side. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 29 Dec 1998 01:19:12 +1100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Russell Hemery Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Russell Hemery Subject: Re: SC and Appointment incompatible?

Hmmm.... if Jam is doing write-behind caching in the System Manager, that could probably be trouble... I'd probably disable it before using Software Carousel, yes.

Perhaps you mean something different than I by "crash", or perhaps it's due to Software Carousel, but I have my Appt and Phone apps open 99% of the time, have had to reboot (both soft and hard) my 200LX several times a week over the last year, and have never had a problem with either database.

It's been a while since I played with 95LX stuff, but I seem to recall a 95LX program called Notepad, or some such; it was kinda like the builtin phonebook app, and as best I can recall could do file format conversion to and from the builtin phonebook db format, as well as something reasonable to get to from normal systems. I just tried pulling it off S.U.P.E.R., and couldn't download --- there's a bad link somewhere there. But I was able to find it at eddieÝ1¨, so I sucked it down and tore it open, and sure enough, it claims to be able to read and write 95LX phonebooks and appointment books, as well as text files. Combine this with gdb102 (gdbdump/gdbload) and a soucon of perl, and you oughta be able to send 200LX phonebooks to 95LX phonebook format. -Bennett Ý1¨ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 28 Dec 1998 11:41:04 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Wachtel, Andrew, S., M.D." Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Wachtel, Andrew, S., M.D." Subject: database program Comments: To: hplx list MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Is there someway to get around the 4 page limit in the hp database, or to expand the number of fields? any assistance appreciated. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 28 Dec 1998 14:49:51 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ed Padin Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ed Padin Subject: Re: database program I think that the only way is to use another program like dataperfect, foxpro, paradox, pc-file, (which did I foreget?

You need more than 99 fields??? What kind of database are you building? Sorry, you really can get no more than 4 pages. (Unless some bright spark can suggest how to modify the burned-in rom code... Try @base for lotus 123 which gives dbase functionality and seamless integration into 123 or you could use dbase itself, but it is big and needs memory and won't run in sysmanager as 123 with @base will. @base will open files limited only by disk space.

If you do, some of the (so-called) long filename convention hidden attributes can look like garbage to dos programs and when I used to run Norton on my cards after they had been in my desktop (win 95) they would show hundreds of volume names all over 45 gig each!!!

I've been thinking about it, and I'm pretty certain that it's impossible to implement something like everybody would like-- a utility to allow copying from one DOS session and pasting into another via some sort of TSR clipboard. It might be possible to do a rudimentary version, but you'd be limited to copying information that was on the screen-- since DOS applications have no standard way of "highlighting" or "selecting" information, the best you could do is allow the program to highlight text information on the screen. (Much like the way Windows 95/98 can copy information off of the screen of a DOS application if you run it in a window.) ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 29 Dec 1998 10:47:18 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , hplx Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: hplx Subject: oh well Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Due to complaints, I will shortly be removing several books from the etext page.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > I started using the appointment program back in November. During this > period of time I've experienced three corrupted databases and have been > unable to recover them Yours is not the first story I have heard over the years of someone having trouble with corrupt files. But I am not convinced there is a bug in the built in software. Since getting my 100LX and now my 200LX for many years now, I have never had a corruption of a GDB, PDB, NDB or ADB file. I have also been using Software Carousel since it first came out for the palmtop. I used to use Stacker but never tried Jam. I am sure these corruptions a few people are seeing are caused by something they do or don't do. I doubt it has anything specifically to do with Jam. I very big danger with SC is trying to open a SysMgr PIM file in more than one session - that will certainly corrupt the first file opened. Also, once you corrupt the ADB file, unless you make a new file that is perfect, you can still have the corruption burried deep in the file that will come out later. The only thing I can think of that is common to the people who experience frequent corruptions of the SysMgr PIM files is that they tend to keep them open all the time. I have to say that I nver keep them open and I have never had a corruption - I don't think that is a coincidence. I open the file, do my thing with it and then close it. I have found that the time to open and close the file is no longer than the time to swap to an already open file. So why should I keep it open and run the risk of corruption? And even if the open/close time was longer, it is still not worth the risk of the corruption. I have developed a SysMgr macro to make a backup copy of the currenly open PIM application. Although I have never needed them, I always keep about 5 to 15 generational backups of each PIM file safely tucked away in a backup directory. Here is the macro I use: {Menu}fca:\bakfiles\{Date}{Left}{Left} {BackSp}{BackSp}{BackSp}{BackSp}{BackSp}{BackSp} {Right}{Right}{Date}{BackSp}{BackSp}{BackSp} {Left}{Left}{BackSp}{Right}{Right} {Time}{BackSp}{BackSp}{BackSp}{Left}{BackSp}{BackSp} {Left}{BackSp}{BackSp}{BackSp}{BackSp}{Enter}{Menu}q Of course, when you use this macro, you will have to remove the line breaks from it. I use a directory a:\bakfiles to hold the backups. This macro uses the Menu File Copy feature of each application. Then it uses part of the current Date and Time to make a unique file name for each backup. The extension (such as ADB) is put on the filename automatically by the application. So, lots of these backup files accumulate in the BAKFILES directory, but I go in there every so often and erase the oldest ones leaving about 5-10 backups in place. I hope this helps.

I don't think this is the case. A clever TSR could be invoked with a hot key, and take control of the screen memory and cursor. You would be able to control the highlighting process, just like in a Windows 95/98/NT DOS box. Then the TSR would have the option of storing it to disk or keeping it in local memory for a subsequent paste operation. But with SC running, and the desire to paste into other SC sessions, the disk storage method seems to be the only viable option to me.

But what do you mean you would be able to take control of the screen memory and cursor like in a Windows DOS box? When I copy from a DOS box in Windows, I can only copy a maximum of one screen at a time... pressing keys or trying to scroll to a new page in WP51, say, causes the Windows highlighting to disappear. That's what I'm concerned about: that there would be no way to clip more than what's on the screen. > But with SC running, and the desire to paste into other SC sessions, > the disk storage method seems to be the only viable option to me. Well, if the TSR was loaded before carousel.exe, it should be accessible from all work areas... but then you're probably wasting a big chunk of memory for the buffer. Probably better (especially on the ramdisk-based LX) to just write it to disk. > Now, I'm not volunteering to write such a program, and don't know if > one already exists or not.

The new technology of "reflective color" LCDs, which work like the 200LX screen in that they use reflected light, but in vivid color, are definitely a good thing for battery life. The new GameBoy Color uses this technology, and from what I've heard the battery life is pretty darn good, considering it's an active-matrix color screen. The downside, of course, is that like the 200LX, it can't be used in the dark. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 29 Dec 1998 11:01:36 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Hal Goldstein Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Hal Goldstein Subject: Re: Two questions...

I have read that anything faster than 28.8 is a waste on the palmtop as it cannot use any more than 28.8 kbps of bandwidth. Is this correct? Also, there is a site for WinCE devices (www.cewindows.net) that list current draw of some PCMCIA modems. On this list, it appears that the Hayes Optima 56 draws 131mA and the Accura 56k draws 165mA. From the list, these seem to be much lower in consumption than any others, and about the same as most 14.4 modems. Can anyone confirm that they are using one of these? Is it really faster than your 14.4/28.8? Are there any other low power 56k modems that anyone here has been able to use? As it is, even if the speed is not used, that the power consumption of these seems to be comparable to my XJ1144, it would be preferred over a more hoggy 28.8 device. I understand that the cic100 may not be useful here, but I have been using lxcic and it seems to work perfectly with my XJ1144. BTW I use dosppp as my packet driver.

Is this correct? Actually, my Simple Tech 33.6 is alot faster than my XJ1144, both set for 57600 using Goin' Postal. One BIG thing about >14.4 modems is that they are alot more tolerant of line problems. A 14.4 will typically lock up if you pick up the telephone receiver.

I have been spending some time with GemDraw and find it is quite well suited to the 200LX. There are several other applications that use the GEM interface (GemPaint, GemPublisher, GemGraph, etc) that should also run on the HP with no problems. The Gem interface seems to be fairly conservative both in its use of disk and memory resources. Gem was also the interface that was used by the early versions (through 3.0 for DOS) of Ventura Publisher. Many of the Gem applications as well as most version of the Gem desktop can be downloaded at: http://www.devili.iki.fi/cpm/gemworld.html There is also a file at the site that gives some good background on the GEM products. Interesting reading for those of us who prefer the "simpler" times when software was less market-driven. WARNING: When installing the GEM desktop files, make sure the disks have the correct volume label. For instance, version 3.10 will unzip to three floppies with the volume labels: GEM SYSTEM, GEM SCREEN, and GEM PRINTER. (Make sure there are 2 spaces in the labels of the first two disks.) Without the correct volume labels, the setup program will not accept the disks. I didn't find that the volume labels made any difference in the GEM applications. You do want to make sure that you use the -d switch with PKUNZIP to maintain the directory structure.

What piqued my interest was learning that it had been a product of Digital Research, a company I admired since they always seemed to be at least one version ahead of Microsoft when it came to the DOS operating system. I downloaded quite a few files from the site. The only ones I have run on the palmtop so far are GemDraw and GemPaint. Both programs have an APP extension (sort of like the EXM files in the SysManager) and so will only run under the GEM Desktop. A good file to get at the site is GEMNOTES.ZIP. It has a short summary of most of the GEM products. Here is a directory listing of basic files that are necessary for running GEM plus the two applications I have installed.

Is this correct? No where near. With badly-written comm software (e.g. the datacomm app builtin to the 100LX with its evil screen problem) you might see problems above 9600bps. Or even lower, if the app is bad enough. On a single-speed 100LX, the filer serial port protocol seems to get unreliable at 38400, though up to 57600 the problems are still only intermittent --- it'll get some files through. I.e. if the file xfer protocol in filer were better designed and written, it'd recover from the occasional lost bits. A clock-doubled 200LX with buckets of RAM, running no disk compression software, doesn't lose data at 115200 often enough to bother me --- though at that point, the machine on the _other_ end better be running a well-written serial-port driver:-). With better-written file xfer code, any LX should be able to run the dedicated line at 115kbps reliably. But to the _modem_, we've a very different picture: the PCMCIA slot is 4Mbps, and it's reliable. The more speed the modem can shove over the phone line, the faster you'll go. Unless of course you're using the builtin datacomm app on a 100LX, in which case you'll be throttled by screen updating:-). -Bennett ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 30 Dec 1998 12:14:55 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "R.

You will normally install GEM on the C: drive of your desktop machine before transferring the files to your palmtop (presumably the A: drive). It is helpful to use the DOS ASSIGN to reassign the drive letter C: to the A: drive. Then switch to the C: drive (which is really the A: drive) before running the GEM.BAT file. When you exit GEM, use ASSIGN again to revert to the default drive assignments. 2. The keyboard mouse might take some getting used to. Use the HOME key to click and the END key for dragging.

There are two kinds of Email with CompuServe. Their "internal" Email system called CompuServe Email can only be accessed by a program that uses the proprietary protocol called HMI to access the service. There is a program called acCIS that is made for the 100/200LX that does a fantastic job with this. There is no WinCE program for HMI on CompuServe. The other kind of Email with CompuServe is standard Internet Email using a POP3 Server. This Email can be accessed by any computer and program that conforms to the POP3 client standard such as Going Postal or Nettamer or WWW/LX Plus for the 100/200LX and desktop machines. All of these products support login scripts. The only hitch with the WinCE machines' built in software and CompuServe POP3, however, is that a script is needed to log into CompuServe and so far WinCE does not seem to support login scripts.

No, it is impossible to borrow the application programs out of the ROM of the palmtop and use them elswhere. The programs in ROM are written in a special way to Execute in Place (XIP) right from the ROM using a sophisticated bank switched scheme. If you want the PIM apps on the desktop, that is what the Connectivity Pack is - the phone, notetaker, data base, etc on the desktop.

The highest baud rate you should use for a double speed palmtop using a PCMCIA modem with a buffered UART is 38400 bps. And that is about the proper speed setting for a 28.8 modem. Personally, with the phone lines I have at home and work, I usually only make a 24000 bps connection no matter what kind of modem I use. The point is that it is probably not work maying the power consumption price for a super fast modem when you will not be taking full advantage of it. > it appears that the Hayes Optima 56 draws 131mA and the Accura 56k > draws 165mA.

LXCIC is a replacement driver written by a third party. Whichever works for you is fine. LXCIC has some nice features CIC100 does not.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I'm sure you noticed the HUGE influx of new files lately to SUPER. We have found some typos and bad links and those are slowly getting fixed. One thing that is missing from almost all those new programs is a screen capture. If you find yourself using one of these newbies, I would love to have a good capture of the program to include in the SUPER pages. If the program is EXM, Capsys works great. If it is DOS, CAPLX works well. Save the files as GIF 87A and invert them (black becomes white), then email to me. I think you know that with your help and support, we have built the best HP palmtop software repository in the world (unless I've missed one somewhere). With these added screen caps, we can make it even better. Thanks in advance for any help you might offer.

I have the Connectivity Pack happily running on an NTFS-only machine. It will connect through the Filer app with no problems. As far as I can tell, it *won't* work with the LapLink Remote Access mode because the version shipped with the Connectivity Pack requires pre-loading a DOS TSR, which of course can't be done under NT. So, you can't map your HP drives to drive letters on the NT machine, but you certainly can transfer files back and forth using the Filer app. BTW, I tried the latest and greatest LapLink Pro for NT from Traveling Software and couldn't get it to recognize the old LLRA on the palmtop either ... If anyone has a way to run LapLink on NT and map drive letters, I'd appreciate hearing it.

Here is how I install exm programs that need moreexm: I first install the program under System Manager, then open the apname.lst with Memo and cut the needed line and paste it in the moreexm.i= ni. Then delete the program for the System Manager. So just for you I installed Zoom and here is the needed line to get it work. But instead of ALT+F2 I used ALT+F3. First skip making a seperate directory for Moreexm and Zoom. Just create a c:\bin directory and move zoom.exm into it and move moreexm.com and moreexm.ini into your c:\ directory and then add the following line to your moreexm.ini re-boot. add to your moreexm.ini c:\bin\zoom.exm,6A00,1,Zomm your line in the autoexec.bat should look like: moreexm 200 BTW: If your using a flash card copy moreexm.com and moreexm.ini to your a:\ directory.

The book implies that that is what made, at least initially, the difference. Bill G. was always willing to accomodate -- even when he provided the operating system for the RS Model 100.

You also need to use a null-modem adapter, since most of the serial cables for the palmtop are already null-modem cables. All the necessary hardware is included in the Connectivity Pack, though you can probably buy it cheaper for your purposes from Thaddeus (www.palmtoppaper.com) or maybe Shier Systems (www.shier.com). A word of warning: my first Easy Cat wouldn't work well on my double-speed palmtop; it would only move vertically, and the mouse buttons would click all the time. It worked fine on my single-speed units, and also on the desktop. A new Easy Cat worked fine on all three. Go figure. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml
