However, I believe the dominance of MS-DOS was due more to the fact that it was the "official" version supported by IBM (as PC-DOS) and the IBM PC was to become the dominant machine in the market. While I disagree with much that Bill Gates has done, I must admire his ability to recognize that an alliance with IBM was the key to success for Microsoft at that time.

As soon as the card is inserted, the standard IDE Disk-Controller is loaded (needs a free interrupt) and a 'Generic Disk Type 47'-drive is allocated using the next free drive letter. You may have to insert the Win-CD for driver installation at first insertion of the card. If you hear a beep upon insertion but nothing else happens, then I guess you need a free interrupt to be able to proceed with the necessary driver installation. Win98 is supplying all necessary drivers - I don't remember what's about Win95 in this respect. Hope this helps.

Try completely purging your LX (even more drastic than a reboot). Backup your data first, as this wipes the entire unit of data. Then remove both your main AA and your backup lithium batteries. Press and hold the On key for a minute to drain the electricity from the system. Then replace the batteries, I think AA first and then backup (see your manual). - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 2 Jan 1999 10:10:55 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Clark Gaylord Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Clark Gaylord Subject: FLUFF: PC-DOS vs CP/M (Was: Gem software) In-Reply-To: <199901020510.AAA05718@gaylord.async.vt.edu> from Automatic digest processor at "Jan 2, 99 00:00:05 am" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > Date: Fri, 1 Jan 1999 10:14:03 -0600 > From: Victor Roberts > Subject: Re: Gem software > > > not quite. as near asi remember it, DR was offering CPM-86 as the > > PC os of choice, but somewhere along the lines of a few hundred > > dollars per license.

While I Actually, IBM set the price of the OSes it bundled with the PC, and the three choices were: PC-DOS, CP/M, and p-System. I forget the exact prices, but the orders of 100, 300, and 500, respectively, sound about right. Although the pricing difference was the final causal agent in determining DOS's win over CP/M, the reasons for the large differential are more related to the infamous flight, etc. There has been substantial speculation about whether snubbing IBM was actually the intention of this flight, btw, and there have been some well-informed people challenging this as the real reason. Be that as it may, for whatever reason IBM was more comfortable doing business with Gates, and they gave him the nod. They still wanted to have CP/M available to quelch the claims of anti-competitiveness and compatability (the dominant OS of the time for micros was CP/M, and there was already extant software for it). Still, had VisiCalc not been ported to DOS, and subsequently Lotus and WordStar, life may have been substantially different. There was a good program on PBS (Nova?) some time ago about this, and I would think there would be some site on the net that better tells the story. My wife recalls the show "The Revenge of the Nerds" (not the popular movie of the same name ;-) but whether it was a Nova episode we do not recall. Anyway, I think our collective speculation is probably not going to be profitable, but if someone could post a semi-authoritative reference (preferably on-line), that would probably be well-received. -- Clark K.

A new fuel cell technology has been developed using methanol and water for use on cell phones and may be useful to us....but also the application of their technology to making a portable charging system. The scale of their goals is 6 months of standby time and 100 hours of talk time for a cell phone. Parts of the article follow...sorry, I don't have the URL, but you can go to Yahoo's news site and search on "fuel cell" maybe. - Longden Manhattan Scientifics Completes Fuel Cell Powered Phone Call Robert G. Hockaday has successfully made a cellular telephone call using a phone powered by an alcohol-fueled pre-prototype micro fuel cell. The call was made this month at the company's Los Alamos, N.M. laboratory where the new Micro-Fuel Cell is under development. The call demonstrated that a micro fuel cell can produce enough electricity to power a cellular telephone. Last July, Hockaday said he expected to successfully test a fuel cell powered telephone by year-end. Hockaday's fuel cell team ran a cellular phone continuously in standby for 24 hours and made periodic phone calls. Hockaday said, ``We have achieved the minimum of 100 milliwatts of power output necessary to keep the phone in standby and simultaneously trickle charge a battery with our pre-prototype system. This is a major step in our effort to commercialize a long-life Micro-Fuel Cell power system for portable electronics. The pre-prototype breadboard system consisted of 20 miniature fuel cells on five sheets of plastic connected in series to deliver four volts to the cellular phone. The system was fueled with a 50% methanol water mixture. The successful demonstration of the pre-prototype marks another significant milestone in the development of the micro-fuel cell, which was powered by a small amount of methanol and water commonly used as windshield washer fluid. Hockaday said, ``We expect to complete a fully working prototype before mid 1999. Our ultimate goal is to maintain a digital cellular telephone on standby for more than six months and to provide 100 hours of talk time with a single refueling of several ounces of a methanol/water mix. For commercial use, the tiny energy source will be engineered to be smaller and lighter than a conventional rechargeable battery and is expected to be priced competitively with conventional cellular phone batteries. Manhattan Scientifics is also developing and has filed patents to protect its invention of a portable charging system utilizing its micro fuel cell technology. If successfully developed, it could eliminate the need for wall plug AC electrical charging of batteries. The company's portable charger, which it calls Power Holster is being designed to become an integral part of a cellular telephone system. It is being designed with the intention of providing a constant trickle charge to the telephone's conventional battery, thus creating an always-on powered system. Marvin Maslow, Manhattan Scientifics CEO said, The company's strategy is to first complete the working prototype and then identify an appropriate strategic corporate partner to manufacture and distribute the new energy devices. A number of Fortune/100 telecommunications, battery, film and chemical companies have contacted us and visited us. They are monitoring our progress and waiting for us to invite them to test our technology, which we intend to do as soon as we are ready. We would like to eliminate the word re- charge from the English language and change it to refuel. There have been substantial improvements in battery technologies lately. This is good news for us because it improves the effectiveness of our portable charger system, designed to keep the newer long-life lithium ion batteries in cellular telephones and other small electronic devices charged for extended periods. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 2 Jan 1999 09:31:48 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Dan Sommer Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Dan Sommer Subject: Re: Gem software MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="---- =_NextPart_000_01BE3633.36224480" ------ =_NextPart_000_01BE3633.36224480 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Did anybody figure this out yet? -----Original Message----- The big question is: Can the version 3.x apps be used with the version 1.1 Desktop? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ------ =_NextPart_000_01BE3633.36224480 Content-Type: application/ms-tnef Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 eJ8+IhMQAQaQCAAEAAAAAAABAAEAAQeQBgAIAAAA5AQAAAAAAADoAAEIgAcAGAAAAElQTS5NaWNy b3NvZnQgTWFpbC5Ob3RlADEIAQ2ABAACAAAAAgACAAEEkAYAqAEAAAEAAAAQAAAAAwAAMAIAAAAL AA8OAAAAAAIB/w8BAAAASAAAAAAAAACBKx+kvqMQGZ1uAN0BD1QCAAAAAEhQTFggTWFpbGluZyBM aXN0AFNNVFAASFBMWC1MQFVDT05OVk0uVUNvbm4uRWR1AB4AAjABAAAABQAAAFNNVFAAAAAAHgAD MAEAAAAZAAAASFBMWC1MQFVDT05OVk0uVUNvbm4uRWR1AAAAAAMAFQwBAAAAAwD+DwYAAAAeAAEw AQAAABQAAAAnSFBMWCBNYWlsaW5nIExpc3QnAAIBCzABAAAAHgAAAFNNVFA6SFBMWC1MQFVDT05O Vk0uVUNPTk4uRURVAAAAAwAAOQAAAAALAEA6AQAAAB4A9l8BAAAAEgAAAEhQTFggTWFpbGluZyBM aXN0AAAAAgH3XwEAAABIAAAAAAAAAIErH6S+oxAZnW4A3QEPVAIAAAAASFBMWCBNYWlsaW5nIExp c3QAU01UUABIUExYLUxAVUNPTk5WTS5VQ29ubi5FZHUAAwD9XwEAAAADAP9fAAAAAAIB9g8BAAAA BAAAAAAAAAIJUQEEgAEAEQAAAFJFOiBHZW0gc29mdHdhcmUAlQUBBYADAA4AAADPBwEAAgAJAB8A MAAGADcBASCAAwAOAAAAzwcBAAIACQAfAAIABgAJAQEJgAEAIQAAADQwMTk0NzA0NDc5RUQyMTE4 NTgzMDBDMEYwMTY1NzQwALYGAQOQBgCQBAAAIQAAAAsAAgABAAAACwAjAAAAAAADACYAAAAAAAsA KQAAAAAAAwAuAAAAAAADADYAAAAAAEAAOQBgMh1lbTa+AR4AcAABAAAAEQAAAFJFOiBHZW0gc29m dHdhcmUAAAAAAgFxAAEAAAAWAAAAAb42bWTsBEcZQZ5HEdKFgwDA8BZXQAAAHgAeDAEAAAAFAAAA U01UUAAAAAAeAB8MAQAAAA4AAABkYW5AaW5xdW8ubmV0AAAAAwAGEOrJx9sDAAcQrQAAAB4ACBAB AAAAZQAAAERJREFOWUJPRFlGSUdVUkVUSElTT1VUWUVUPy0tLS0tT1JJR0lOQUxNRVNTQUdFLS0t LS1USEVCSUdRVUVTVElPTklTOkNBTlRIRVZFUlNJT04zWEFQUFNCRVVTRURXSVRIVEgAAAAAAgEJ EAEAAAB9AQAAeQEAAAgCAABMWkZ1BS1LhgMACgByY3BnMTI1FjIA+Atgbg4QMDMznQH3IAKkA+MC AGNoCsDgc2V0MCAHEwKDAFChEHZwcnEyEXZ9CoDZCMggOwlvDjA1AoAKgWx1YwBQCwNjEhILxCBQ RGlkIABweQbgZCB5IGZpZwhwZSC0dGgEACAIYAVAeRFAHj8KogqECoQLMGxpM542AUAWkAFAEsBv dAWQQnQSBDE2IC0cEk89BRBnC4AHQAXQB5BzYfxnZRwTGVYbJBrxCxMbJVMadBbWVGgYYGIYICCi cQpQc3RpAiAgBAC4OiBDA5EYgBhgdgSQIwCQIUEzLngXgHBw9QQgYhhgdREwF3AD8BiAWSHrMS4W IwqARAeQaxh0b3AZTwqAKiogAEhQTFgtTCBMwElTVCBJbgIQF4ArBUEWknUDIGgCQHA6CC8vdylg LnNwLhMWAAIgbi4JgHUvfsJtEPBlbTEvJzIpkP0o8G0JUBrSKMAekyYsE4ECAC1wAAAAAwAQEAAA AAADABEQAAAAAAMAgBD/////QAAHMEC7tkltNr4BQAAIMEC7tkltNr4BCwAPgAggBgAAAAAAwAAA AAAAAEYAAAAAA4UAAAAAAAADABGACCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAAQhQAAAAAAAAMAFIAIIAYA AAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAAFKFAAC3DQAAHgA0gAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAVIUAAAEAAAAE AAAAOC4wAAMANYAIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAAAGFAAAAAAAACwA+gAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAA AEYAAAAADoUAAAAAAAADAD+ACCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAARhQAAAAAAAAMAQYAIIAYAAAAA AMAAAAAAAABGAAAAABiFAAAAAAAAHgBQgAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAANoUAAAEAAAABAAAA AAAAAB4AUYAIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAADeFAAABAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAeAFKACCAGAAAAAADA AAAAAAAARgAAAAA4hQAAAQAAAAEAAAAAAAAAHgA9AAEAAAAFAAAAUkU6IAAAAAADAA00/TcAAPrS ------ =_NextPart_000_01BE3633.36224480-- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 2 Jan 1999 09:21:11 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Wachtel, Andrew, S., M.D." Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Wachtel, Andrew, S., M.D." Subject: Re: Simple Tech card incompatibilities Comments: To: lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain i had the same problem with my toshiba tecra, but there is a soft ware program called card works which once installed allows the card to be recognized and used. > ---------- > From: Longden LooÝSMTP:lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET¨ > Reply To: HPLX Mailing List;lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET > Sent: Friday, January 01, 1999 8:53 PM > To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu > Subject: Simple Tech card incompatibilities > > Message-Id: <19990102045419.BQJQ17451@Ý12.72.160.146¨> > Date: Sat, 2 Jan 1999 04:54:19 +0000 > > Hi All, and happy new year! > > I've been using the Simple Technology 40mb flash card for some time now > on the LX, and also a 16mb Simple Tech compact flash in my digital camera, > but now find that neither are recognized by my notebook computer (which > sees my HP & Kingston flash cards just fine). > > I just wondered if any of you had similar problems reading the Simple > cards in a notebook...the cards didn't come with any software > drivers...and > if anyone had a fix.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Steve, the game was designed for a PC with a video monitor. With a CRT, an "on" pixel lighs up on the screen and is white. An "off" pixel is dark. It is the opposite on an LCD screen like on the palmtop. An "on" pixel on the palmtop is black while an "off" pixel is not there so it assumes the background color which is lighter. You can very simply fix this problem by inverting the colors of the LCD screen by pressing and holding On and then press the slash key ("/").

So, it depends on where you put that partition. And you can move it when you need to. You just have to reboot afterwards. A good rule of thumb that the more System RAM, the more different applications you can have open at once - but then you don't have a lot of file storage.

I took a huge text file and split it into over 240 little files (one per country) and formatted it to run in HV on the palmtop, and Mitch (bless his cotton socks!) has posted it to good old SUPER. The other is in his hands as we speak, but not yet up on the site, and is a notetaker file with 209 countries and thousands of cities with their populations (as of 1992). I have been using this one to add to my HP's World Time cities, and noticed that some of the ROM cities have the time zone set for the wrong time! Most of the ones I have found are in Eastern Europe and are BEHIND zulu instead of in front! BTW, the worldtime file on my machine is over 300k and growing, has over 900 entries, many with several pages of info in the notes, and it runs snappy as when first opened! I have 10-12 subsets defined, and find that if I run a macro to open each subset in sequence, this speeds up the day-to-day usage of the file. Because of the size of the worldtime file, I have it on the A: drive and I managed this by hex-editing the world.env file in c:\_dat with xtree gold. Anybody know another way to do this?

Here is what I had intended to say. Any computer with a non-backlit screen will have much longer battery life than a computer with a backlit screen. (Backlights take a lot of power.) A computer with a monochrome backlit screen will have longer battery life than one with a color backlit screen. (A color LCD screen transmits much less light than a monochrome LCD screen.) I believe that there is no substantial difference in battery life between a non-backlit monochrome screen, as on the 200LX, and a non-backlit color screen.

Automap enables you to enter a start and finish location and it will calculate a route for you. There was an add-on database for Europe (which I have) as well as the US but the European maps are not as detailed as the US ones. There were some update files avaiable on the Microsoft site at one time as well as some additional databases added the Continental divide and the locations of Best Western Motels/Hotels. I have not checked the site recently. There are at least two versions of the menu module for this program and one version enables more options than the other. I discovered this at a Compuserve HPHAND meeting a couple of years ago. There was no difference in Automap version numbers (IIRC) but there was a difference in file dates.

In-Reply-To: al chin's message of "Sun, 3 Jan 1999 19:03:20 PST" Mime-Version: 1.0 (generated by tm-edit 7.108) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Ever wanted to FTP *to* your HP200LX ? Well, the next version of LXTCP will include an FTP server (yes, I said *server* not client) and a TELNET client which allows multiple telnet sessions, the aforementioned FTP server and a PING server all to be active at the same time. The FTP server is based on the public domain NCSA telnet source code, and has been modified to operate with little or no configuration required when running on the HP200LX. It currently requires a config.tel file, but that will be changed to use the same configuration file as all the other LXTCP utilities. The goal of this software is to be able to easily mirror the contents of my 32MB C: drive onto a Unix/Linux box. Using the "mirror" package (http://sunsite.org.uk/packages/mirror/) and the HP200LX FTP server, I can now completely mirror the contents of the C: drive, and only those files that are new or have changed are transferred. This works over both an Ethernet link (via a PCMCIA ethernet card), a dial-up PPP link (via a PCMCIA modem card) or a direct serial PPP link (via the serial port). By using the direct serial PPP link I can backup both the C: drive and also the contents of the flash card. Also, using XEmacs, efs, and dired, I can now remotely edit files on the HP200LX as it they were local on the Linux machine. I believe this will be the first FTP server implementation specifically designed for the HP200LX (please let me know if someone else beat me to it - including commercial packages). I have included a dump of an interactive session accessing the HP200LX FTP server from a Linux machine. If you are interested in beta testing the new version of LXTCP, then send me an email and I'll put you on the beta testers list. linux> ftp hp200lx Connected to hp200lx. 220 hp200lx FTP server ready .

I should be able to remove the need for a config.tel altogether (assuming you're using BOOTP on a packet driver), or at least make it read an existing wattcp.cfg file that you've set up for other LXTCP tools. > now all that's left is LXWWW and LXWWWD. i was thinking earlier it would > be nifty to get bobcat running on the lx (after recently discovering it > wouldn't work) and to get htget and hv to work together. as far as http > daemons, there are a few out there but i've never played with them ('guess > now would be a good time :).. I currently recommend WWW/LX for those who can afford it and Apache running on Linux :-) The current criteria for something going into LXTCP is that the source must be available under an Open Source (www.opensource.org) style license, and it must be compilable *on* the HP200LX using a compiler running *on* the HP200LX. The chance of finding or writing an LXWWW that meets this criteria is pretty small. On the LXHTTPD side, the chance of being able to write a minimal web server on top of the NCSA kernel or the WatTCP kernel is not too bad, and maybe I'll think about that when my current personal LXTCP requirements are met. Over the weekend, I did get Arachne to run - but I was too busy getting the FTP server working to play around with it. Anyway, the source for Arachne is not available. I once did get a minimal httpd running on the HP200LX, but it was written in MoonRock, and the source was not available either. I'm also mindful of intruding onto the turf of D&A. They're a great commercial supporter of the HP200LX, and I don't want to release a freeware tool that would put them out of business :-) (as if I could!) But seriously, my current set of tools are meant for people who know what an RFC is. I don't want to support someone who can't configure a WatTCP.cfg file. Avi (from D&A) & I have discussed this issue before by email, and I think we have a mutually agreeable relationship: they do the flashy, user-friendly, easy to set-up, well supported tools - and rightfully get money for doing all that ... and I do the drab, raw-functionality, hard to set-up, open-source, officially unsupported tools and release them to other like-minded people who just happen to be able to use them as well. -- 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, 4 Jan 1999 16:33:05 +1030 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Rod Whitby Sender: HPLX Mailing List Comments: ( Received on motgate.mot.com from client mothost.mot.com, sender rwhitby@fraser.asc.corp.mot.com ) From: Rod Whitby Subject: Re: LXTCP FTP server and TELNET client beta testers wanted ...

Actually, the Clarkson Uni TCP utilities come from the same heritage as the NCSA server, and only added features that are useless on the HP200LX, so I'm effectively working from those anyway. I'm not only specifically modifying the servers & clients for the HP, but also modifying the servers so that they will interoperate with Linux/Unix/WinNT clients (including the latest FTP draft RFCs where applicable and useful). I've currently modified the FTP server so that it will work with a pristine copy of the "mirror" program - I still need to make it support file modes, so that it can replicate the fact that a file is read only. I also made it work with XEmacs/efs (the best FTP client interface I have ever used). My eventual goal is to not be able to determine whether you are connected to a Linux FTP server or a HP200LX FTP server (apart from the commands specifically designed to tell you about the system type, and the file name restrictions). The latest FTP draft RFC (draft-ietf-ftpext-mlst-05) talks about a virtual file system, which removes the distinction between DOS and Unix path separaters (/ vs \). > Looking forward to easier backups... especially while my flash card is > down. :( I told my wife over the weekend that the stuff I was doing was a personal favour specifically for you - in return for that NECX card reader (has it arrived yet?).

No! Thanks for reminding me. I'm copying the list on this one to see if anybody knows what's going on with Necx. I ordered five of those PCMCIA ISA card readers in early November, and have heard absolutely ZERO from them since. They said they had "less than fifty" left when I placed my order, so perhaps they ran out of stock, but I haven't gotten so much as an e-mail from them. Is this typical for them?

The cards are designed to use either 3.3V or 5V. The machine you insert it into is the one that determines the voltage, I believe. The 200LX only does 5V or 12V through the PCMCIA socket... so all the newer flash cards use 5V mode. Sadly, there's no way to flip things into 3.3V mode, which would be handy. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 4 Jan 1999 02:06:48 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Paul Medrek Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Paul Medrek Subject: CDROM for 200LX Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I am looking to buy a portable cdrom reader to work with both my Toshiba Libretto notebook AND my 200LX .

When they came back to Gates and told what happened he decided to go with a friend of his from College that had also written an operating system. He bought it from the guy, lock stock and barrel, for $60,000 and named it DOS. In order to save the PC and his contract to provide BASIC He gave IBM a license to distribute a copy with it for a one time fee. He did reserve the right to resell the OS on his own. MS really made money when the PC-clone manufacturers came out and also needed an OS to sell. MS started selling MS-DOS with every clone machine sold and made a killing. They were also smart enough to charge a per-copy royalty. Many people say Bill is a shifty scheming guy(which may be true today) but back then it seems that he just stepped in sh*t and got lucky. > -----Original Message----- > From: Blah...Just Blah..

Yep, the timeout was working fine after that and everything else seems to be working ok - I've put it through and extensive amount of software tests and some hardware tests with no noticeable problems so it seems kinda weird that is the only thing that would go wrong. It may well have something to do with residual effects of the dunking but since I don't know how the timeout works, I'm not quit sure how to go about testing for the cause - since resetting the ram doesn't work I'm guessing it's a hardware problem -MC ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 4 Jan 1999 17:01:27 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Bennett Todd Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bennett Todd Subject: Re: Suggest Purchasing A 95LX Comments: To: David Ball In-Reply-To: <005401be3446$99f9e9c0$b91dc1cf@default>; from David Ball on Wed, Dec 30, 1998 at 10:48:20PM -0000 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii 1998-12-30-22:48:20 David Ball: > If I have a line on a 95LX in good condition, what would be the general > recommendation as to buying one until I can purchase a 200LX? As with any such doo-wah, if its value to you exceeds the cost the seller wants for it, go enjoy! A 95LX has less complete DOS compatibility than a 100/200LX, because its display is only 40x16 text; there's support for panning that around a larger "virtual" display, but that's not generally very useable for practically running programs. This means fewer apps are available for 95LX than for 100/200. But there are still a great plenty for many people! The PCMCIA slot in a 95LX supports Version 1.0 only, which means memory devices only, which means you cannot use an internal modem in it at all. There was one quasi-exception to this statement, a wonky card that had a 2400bps modem on it and was interfaced as a memory card. Since normal PC serial ports (and internal modems) are _not_ memory mapped, there's no way to make this look like a normal serial port to software. Worse, the memory-mapped interface was a proprietary secret of the manufacturer. As a result, the only software that could interact with the modem at all was the program provided by the manufacturer --- which sucked hard. No cursor addressing at all, no way to send a backspace character, etc. Repulsive. And since it wasn't X-Jack, you still had to carry around an external dongle dowah, which means this viciously nasty monster didn't have any advantages over a pocket modem. Just drained your batteries faster:-). Also, a 95LX came in two versions, 512KB RAM and 1MB RAM. Note that this internal RAM is program memory _AND_ C: drive space. The 512KB machine ends up being painfully limited; think of it as a larger, nicer PIM, a moderately chunky but particuarly functional replacement for a Casio Boss or thereabouts. With a 1MB machine on the other hand you can have 640KB of program memory and 384KB of C: drive, which you can compress with e.g. JAM if you want (slows the machine down though). You'll really want to get a memory card for it. Older FLASH cards came with special drivers to allow them to be used in a 95LX; if you can find a FLASH with suitable drivers that'd be the best. If not, SRAM cards work fine with no drivers needed, and the old 1MB Newton cards are cheap as dirt. > What would be the general amount a 95LX would be worth? Worth? That's always a very subjective question. If I were in the market for a 95LX, I wouldn't pay more than $25 for a 512KB machine, I might go $50 for a 1MB 95LX in good working condition. Of course, since I'm not in the market for one, those guesstimated numbers are totally worthless:-). Oh, one nice thing about the 95LX -vs- the 100/200LX; its DC power jack has the rectifier and filter inside it --- the 95LX can suck A/C through its jack, and doesn't care which polarity if you feed it DC; it's also vastly tolerant of voltage range. The 100/200LX shift a lot of that power supply cleanup out into the wall wart, it's really better to avoid feeding them with anything except the official HP power supply. On the other hand, it's a really sexy wall wart, slim, light, folding prongs, 100-240V/50-60Hz. > And what are its general capabilities compared to the 200LX? Pretty limited. The builtin PIMs aren't nearly so rich. No general-purpose database (though you can download Notepad, which is quite nice), though the phonebook is pretty useable as is. The builtin appointment book wasn't good enough to convince me to start using it, unlike the 100/200LX which have me totally addicted. Unlike a 100/200LX you can't goose the clock; unlike a 2MB 100LX or any 200LX you can't upgrade the builtin RAM. On the other hand, it's still a very very competant PIM, and a non-trivial pocket computer, and if you can find use for what it can do, the price should certainly be right. Go visit , or the newer an nicely commented archive (with much the same content) at ; see what's available for it. If that excites you then maybe you should get one. If you want more comparison, visit that latter URL, then visit and compare. For whatever it's worth, I owned a 95LX for many years after the 100LX came out, and didn't bother upgrading. I actually held out until 2MB 200LXes came down a bit in price, then jumped to there. But I could never, ever go back. I got a 1MB 100LX to use as an "emergency spare" machine, and since my 200LX ran into some troubles I've fallen back to the 100 with no real troubles --- I just live mostly off FLASH. The difference between the top-of-the-line 95LX (1MB) and the bottom-of-the-line 100LX (1MB) is far more important and substantial than the difference between that 1MB 100LX and a 64MB clock-doubled 200LX. Because you can easily make up much of that difference with a suitable-sized FLASH card. -Bennett ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 4 Jan 1999 22:02:47 GMT Reply-To: neil@skipper.nu Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Neil Tungate Subject: Re: Another AutoMap for DOS In-Reply-To: <199901031840.SAA96330@out4.ibm.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Sun, 3 Jan 1999 18:40:09 GMT, Gary Spiers wrote: >There was an add-on database for Europe (which I have) as well as the >US but the European maps are not as detailed as the US ones.

I'm not 100% sure. I _think_ you can run most of the builtin apps, one at a time (i.e. always close one before opening another) in as little as 256KB. Possibly even less. If you could live with 256KB set aside for DOS program memory, then you'd have a 256KB C: drive. With a 512KB 95LX, you're seriously strapped no matter what. But absolutely positively get at least a 1MB SRAM card (should be only like $10 or so if you can find someone who wants to get rid of one --- back 4-5 years ago they were like $40). Then delete everything you possibly can off the C: drive, moving it to A: (the SRAM card) and grow your DOS program memory as much as you can. -Bennett ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 4 Jan 1999 15:22:12 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Quinton Jones Jr Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Quinton Jones Jr Subject: Re: LXTCP FTP server and TELNET client beta testers wanted ...

The Appointment book was what was on top. So it started doing the daily update of forwarding all my ToDos from yesterday to today. However, I also had a low battery condition that I first was notified of last night. Also, my appt.adb is sitting on my stacked, 20MB flash card. After it was on a little bit, it shut off. I did not try turning it on again until I had replaced the batteries. I replaced them and then turned it on. It booted! In other words, the appointment book was not opened. So, after it booted, I tried opening the appointment book. It thought for a while and then said, "Record not found". So, apparently, it got corrupted when the batteries gave out. So, I went into Filer to make a copy of appt.apd into another directory so I could use garlic to fix the corrupted *.?db file. But Filer complained of an I/O error. So I tried to have garlic work on the file itself. It, too, thought about it for a little while and then came up with the well known, "Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail" message. So, I suspected that somehow, that spot on the flash got corrupted. I ran wear.exe and it reported that no leveling was needed. I thought that maybe the directory got corrupted when trying to update it during the power failure. I ran CHKDSK that I found on the D: drive. It did not report any problems. Through other means, I was able to read about 8K of the 29K file before getting the "Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail" message. Naturally, I had not backed up this file since I put in some important information that I am trying to retrieve. So, my question is, does anybody have any ideas on how I can resurrect my appt.adb file? It is on a stacked flash on my palmtop. Is there something I can download to the palmtop that could inspect the file system? Is it something Norton can handle? Is there Norton stuff that can run on the palmtop? Any other ideas? One other piece of information that might be pertainent. I am running software carousel. But I think this might have happened anyway under the conditions of appointment book self-updating when the power fails.

It is, I believe, processing the other device statements - Jam tells me that I'm running the wrong version of DOS, so I know that line is being read. This is really strange. What would cause the OS to run some of the lines and not others. Is it environment (?) or something else? I know just enough DOS to be dangerous, so please help! Also, I was able to run the jmw (windows 3.11) program under Win95, but it fails to recognize the jdrive.sys file (because jam.sys isn't loaded because DOS is the wrong version, ..., and also because I don't have a jmw.pif or jmount.pif file in c:\windows, so it can't find jmount.pif). But, the shell (for jmount.com) does load and allow me to pick the jdrive.sys file. Could someone possibly help me with the *.pif file format?

There is a > 'setver.win' in the c:\windows directory. A guess might be that the setver from DOS 6.2 doesn't install on a version higher than it was created for (which seems to make sense I think), so it doesn't load it. My SETVER.exe contains the string "MS-DOS 7", which is the DOS Win95 ships with. Try renaming the setver.win to setver.exe and see if that works. If not, you can have my a copy of my setver.exe if you wish.

It seems most folks are turned off by color palmtops because of the current use in the 600 and 800-series HP palmtops, which are great big battery-hogging lumps of .. but we won't get into that just yet. Anyway, wouldn't it be great to get some of Sharp's new reflective color TFT LCDs? I mean, if our palmtop's graphics capabilities can't even keep up with a friggin' Nintendo portable system (the only thing I know of that uses Sharp's reflective color screens) then we're seriously behind the times. Of course, this would require a massive hardware upgrade, but we'll leave that to someone who knows how to do that. 640x480x32K... can't you just taste it?

In-Reply-To: Ian Butler's message of "Mon, 4 Jan 1999 20:54:49 -0800" Mime-Version: 1.0 (generated by tm-edit 7.108) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII I have the Times2Tech batteries, and usually leave charging turned on. I frequently swap PC cards in and out of my palmtop while it is plugged in and charging. I'd like to be able to hit the "OFF" key while charging, and have the unit turn off (so that I can swap cards, and then turn it on again). Note that I don't want to have to go to the hassle of going into the setup screen and turning off charging manually. Nor do I want to have to hit another key to run a macro to turn off charging manually. I want it all to be done just by hitting the "OFF" key. "OFF" should mean "OFF" regardless of charging state. Agreed that the timeout should be infinite while charging, but the "OFF" key should still cycle the power. Can anyone think of a way to do this ? I'm assuming that it will involve intercepting the "OFF" key in an interrupt routine somewhere, and flipping the charging bit before letting the "OFF" key go to where it was going. The reverse should happen when the "ON" key (actually the same key, but you know what I mean) comes through the same interrupt routine. It'd also be really nice if the "Charging ...." messages were also inhibited for these circumstances only by the same utility. Anyone up to this ? I'm too busy writing FTP servers to dig around myself, and I know that others have a much better understanding of the interrupt routines than I do ... -- -- 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: Tue, 5 Jan 1999 13:48:03 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Tomas Moberg Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Tomas Moberg Subject: Re: Ericsson DC-23 Comments: To: "Wachtel, Andrew, S., M.D." MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > are you using the dc-23 4 or 5 volt battery.

Copy this file to your c:\_sys directory (or c:\) and make sure it is mentioned in your config.sys. Then re-boot. If you do not have an "A:" drive, then look in your autoexec.bat and see if you have the line; d:\bin\cic100.exe /gen1 (an alternative to this line would be found in config.sys) install d:\bin\cic100.exe /gen1 Or something mentioning the same file (cic100.exe). If this file is not "installed" then you have no access to the EXP's SRAM drive A:. Don't worry, the information on the "F:" drive is not "lost", it's just not available until the correct driver(s) are installed. Two disclaimers... 1.) If you have had a true failure of your FLASH memory (EXP) then hope might be lost. 2.) Something went wrong to cause the drivers to become "lost". It will be important to figure out why this happened and prevent it from happening again. (Did you loan out your palmtop to a non-DOS user?

Just add the EURO as any other currency. The only thing you won't get is the new crazy symbol, but that has not become stable on the big desktops neither. A great advantage of the new EURO is that limit to 21 currencies in the palmtop currency converter application becomes a less painful restriction in the future. It is just unfortunate that most daily transactions in the countries involved will be in the old currencies for yet a couple of years.

Well, I've never been one to pass up an opportunity to go Bill-bashing, so I'll bring forward this episode from Bill: The Early Years: As far back as '82-'83, Steve Jobs contracted Bill at Micro$oft to write the first applications for a new computer called a Macintosh. Steve knew it would be death to release a new type of computer without at least a few apps to run on it. Bill agreed wholeheartedly, as he wanted the opportunity to break into application development (having previously been limited to developing languages and the occasional OS). Then, at the last minute, Bill threatened to halt development of the Mac's apps unless Apple agreed to: 1) License parts of the Mac GUI to MS for use in future MS applications (Bill would in fact go on to use this as the basis for Windows, an OS-shell, not an application) and 2) Kill the just-completed MacBasic and instead ship MS-Basic for Mac (Bill would later rip off Apple's aborted MacBasic, and parts of Apple's HyperCard, to use as the basis for Visual Basic). Before long, Bill dropped MS-Basic for Mac anyway, due in part to the fact that it was awful and incomplete. No wonder the MacHeads have been screaming about Bill for fifteen years now!

Hello all, Considering how expensive are the two recent parallel PCMCIA card types available for LX, it's lucky that they have many uses to compensate for price. Parallel port Iomega Zip, HDD, CD-ROM are obvious; as NONE of existing SCSI PCMCIA card works with the HPLX due high juice draw. Scanner, printer, laplink and network, too. I'd recommend that every parallel PCMCIA owner should look for a "pocket ethernet/ token-ring adapter"; which has parallel on one end and network the other. These were common devices in the sunny days of 286/ 386 laptops and may be easy to find used for a few bucks. Their bandwith is not that wide, but probably the bottleneck will be the palmtop itself. (Xircom made these and others). As an ethernet PCMCIA card costs quite a lot and only has one or two uses; this solution may be more economical (if you want to have access to networks using the palmtop). BTW, what happened to the thread about logging in to Win NT networks, using some old drivers from early OS/2 ver 1/2.x?

Actually, an Ethernet PCMCIA card that works with the 200LX can be had for about $60, far less than a parallel port card, let alone a parallel port card and an Ethernet adapter. However, since the parallel port card has other uses too, it's a question of what you want to do with it... but money-wise, a PCMCIA Ethernet card (specifically, the Accton EN2216-1) is more economical for straight network access. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 5 Jan 1999 12:36:13 -0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Ball Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Ball Subject: 95LX Memory Question Comments: To: Bennett Todd MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----Original Message----- From: Bennett Todd >I'm not 100% sure.

I have a board called a "Microsoft Softcard". This board was built by Microsoft, actually was the first "hard" product Microsoft created, and was used in an Apple-2 computer to allow a user to run CPM (a Digital OS). It has a Z-80 CPU. This card was released just before the "secret" contract negotiations with IBM were started. The year was 1980. Also released that year was Microsoft Basic (for the Softcard) and some other stuff. There was no M$ DOS at the time the Softcard was released. This information is available in Microsoft's History on the Microsoft Homepage. I'm going to go out on a limb here for a second and suggest that it was not the Apple GUI that Microsoft copied, or "borrowed" from. I use as an example the key combinations for cut, paste and copy. The _exact_ combinations used to this day by Microsoft are the _exact_ combinations used in the (GUI before M$ ever started Windows) Amiga OS. Also, if you have ever used early versions of the "windowing" OS's, you might get a better "feel" for where stuff comes from. I have working versions (and the machines to run them on) of MS Windows 286, Amiga OS 1.2, and Mac OS ?.?.? (can't recall exactly the version, but it's on my Mac+) and of all three systems, the Amiga has the most similarity to the M$ Windows system. Also note that the Amiga GUI predates _all_ the other OS. I guess the reason I started this response was to "leak" a bit of steam about the public's thinking that computers are either M$ or Apple.

No worse that way than most electronic gizmos that use wall warts. You can still find one at Radio Shack that will work with a 100/200LX --- you just need to take care to get precisely the right one. It wants 12VDC, with the right polarity, and suitable current capacity. By contrast you could shove something like 9-18V AC or either polarity of DC into a 95LX, which means it could run off a much wider assortment of adaptors. But since the 100LX/200LX adaptor is so very nice, this doesn't end up being a significant downside in my opinion. In fact, if I were to get a 95LX today, I'd run it off a 100/200LX wall wart. > Now, one more question...can the information saved in the 200LX built-in > apps be easily saved and transferred to the 200LX apps? I bet you mean, can info saved from 95LX builtin apps be loaded into a 200LX, and the answer is yup, they import the databases fine. HP (or I guess Lotus?) planned on all 95LX owners upgrading to 100LXes, and wanted to make sure it'd be easy and pleasant so folks who upgraded would talk up the new palmtops. Going the other way is harder though not impossible; if I wanted to suck data from a 100/200X database into the 95LX phonebook, I'd use gdbdump to take it to CSV, canonicalize it there using Perl, then take it on into the 95LX with Notepad (available from Eddie and from Super). -Bennett ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 5 Jan 1999 14:53:20 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , hplx Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: hplx Subject: yet muurr ebooks Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" A few OSCard and Niven, as well as Wizard of Oz added.

Both the first Mac and the first Amiga (1000) came out in 1984 (or rather, the Amiga was previewed in 1984, while first being commercially released in 1985), and according to Microsoft's timeline (whatever that is worth...), the first version of Windows was made (if not sold, I'm not sure) in 1983. Also, the first version of Word is from 1983 and might have same keyboard shortcuts, if not the GUI.

Without linux we'd all be paying mucho $$$ for a Unix variant instead of the freedom we now enjoy. 2) Mac -- If it weren't for Microsoft's bloated code and need to constantly re-invent the wheel, we would all still be using orginal Macintosh 1 machines due to lack of competition ( Hey, I liked them, but a Power G3 with OS8 is much better). 3) Novell -- NDS wouldn't exist because of lack of competition. We'd probably all still be using Netware 4 and trying to figure out how to run IPX over the Internet. 4) Hardware -- Again, without Microsoft's constant software bloat would there be PII 450's? Would good hardware be so cheap today? 5) The Internet -- Sorry, but the { I } wouldn't even be close to where it is today without Microsoft's advertising push, even though MS has seldom fully delivered on their promises. I think it's time for some apologies to MS and for all you complainers to give it up and admit Microsoft is the greatest company on Earth.

Borland will probably get very upset if you include it as a utility in anything, especially a commercial package. For private use, they allow this: you can buy a copy of whatever version of Turbo C++ they still sell, and apply that license to an older version (whatever that version might be, and wherever you got it). You may not use the new version and the old version at the same time, etc. So if I bought Turbo C++ 3.0 or 4.5, I would be licensed to use either that version I purchased, or an old copy of 1.01 on my palmtop. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 5 Jan 1999 13:08:16 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: Parallel port PCMCIA cards and their many uses.

If I remember right, I measured a current usage of less than that even with my EN2216-2 card, which uses more power than the -1. Something like 40 or 50ma.

I'm finding that the same things I did for the LX, such as buying AC adapters for home and work, spare batteries and peripherals with low power requirements to help us squeeze another minute out of the batteries, are all applicable to the OB800. On both machines, increasing the available RAM helps to reduce disk use and therefore may prolong battery life. I've already increased my OB800 RAM to 80mb (64mb module from CDW for $134). Does anyone have leads on good deals for: 1) spare battery 2) spare AC adapter 3) any other accessories at a good price? Has anyone figured out how to transfer data between the OB800 and the 200LX using IR (looks like OB800 is IRDA only...is there a SIR driver somewhere?) I've installed and used Transfile successfully, but it's limited in speed (seems unstable past 19200). Ideally, I'd like to just transfer data by swapping my Simple Tech 40mb flash, but still haven't gotten the OB800 to recognize it (thanks to all the many good leads from this list...be assured that I've tried them all, tho maybe not yet in every combination). The Simple 33.6 Communicator modem which is mentioned on David Sargeant's website works great on the OB800, so there's some synergy there. - Longden Mack Baggette on 01/06/99 06:23:33 AM Please respond to Mack Baggette To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/WL/Candle) Subject: Re: hp800 vs libbrito >I sold a Libretto 50 to get the 800CT.

Thats strange, my "date field" is labeled as such and works just fine. I think the problem has something to do with the date format in Setup. BTW: My date field is the first field in the Database. and the format in Setup is MM-DD-YY. (but the date shows as 01/05/1999) and the Fast = Find works just fine.

The card itself is pretty similar, but with a different size connector on the edge, and the EN2216-2 card is a little heavier. The main difference is the breakout box connector, which plugs into the card. The -1 is very small, with only a little RJ45 jack and the two LEDs. The -2 has an RJ45 jack and a coaxial 10Base2 connector, which adds power drain and a lot of bulk. And 10Base2 can't be used on the palmtop anyway, since it uses too much current. So... get the -1. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 6 Jan 1999 11:26:13 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Bill Vickerman Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bill Vickerman Subject: Re: hp800 vs libbrito Comments: To: "Longden_Loo@CANDLE.COM" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain I also have joined the ranks of the new ob800 users. I have gotten flash cards to work on the system. I found that the input/output range was critical to get the cards to work. (found in the control panel, system properties, hard drives, the new IDE/ESDI hard disk controller that showed up when the card was installed, resources tab.) The range must be 0170-0177 on the first resource type and the second resource must be 0376-0377. The interrupt is not important (just a free one). Once you set the values the system remembers it for the next time the card is installed. I have used this on several different notebook systems using the ace 10meg and the Viking 16meg compact flash cards. Good luck on the cards. -----Original Message----- From: HPLX Mailing List Ýmailto:HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU¨On Behalf Of Longden Loo Sent: Wednesday, January 06, 1999 10:27 AM To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UCONN.EDU Subject: Re: hp800 vs libbrito Seems there's a number of people on the list with the recently discontinued Omnibook 800CT, including me. I'm finding that the same things I did for the LX, such as buying AC adapters for home and work, spare batteries and peripherals with low power requirements to help us squeeze another minute out of the batteries, are all applicable to the OB800. On both machines, increasing the available RAM helps to reduce disk use and therefore may prolong battery life. I've already increased my OB800 RAM to 80mb (64mb module from CDW for $134). Does anyone have leads on good deals for: 1) spare battery 2) spare AC adapter 3) any other accessories at a good price? Has anyone figured out how to transfer data between the OB800 and the 200LX using IR (looks like OB800 is IRDA only...is there a SIR driver somewhere?) I've installed and used Transfile successfully, but it's limited in speed (seems unstable past 19200). Ideally, I'd like to just transfer data by swapping my Simple Tech 40mb flash, but still haven't gotten the OB800 to recognize it (thanks to all the many good leads from this list...be assured that I've tried them all, tho maybe not yet in every combination). The Simple 33.6 Communicator modem which is mentioned on David Sargeant's website works great on the OB800, so there's some synergy there. - Longden Mack Baggette on 01/06/99 06:23:33 AM Please respond to Mack Baggette To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/WL/Candle) Subject: Re: hp800 vs libbrito >I sold a Libretto 50 to get the 800CT.

Once opened, you can then export the Appointment Book to a new "clean" file and transfer it back to the Palmtop. I recovered most of my corrupt file using this method. I am not sure where the Windows version is available, but SUPER is probably a good start point, alternatively someone else may be able to provide a pointer for you. BTW, I tried Garlic and ADBIO at the same time with no success, but somebody on the list suggested GDBLOAD/BDBDUMP which I never tried as I had already recovered using the above method.

So life is good, very good. - Joe ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 6 Jan 1999 19:10:07 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jim Krist Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jim Krist Subject: FLUFF Re: Greyware MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit How about theOldGreyWareSheAintWhatSheUsedToBe ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 6 Jan 1999 20:33:42 -0500 Reply-To: profengr@delanet.com Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Robert H.

The trouble with text fields is that in the date format I'm familiar with (MM-DD-YY) it doesn't index in date order, but in "alphabetic" order, so to speak.

With most flash cards, no drivers are normally needed using the default Win95 install on the OB800. Sundisk cards are correctly seen and registered in the ControlPanel/DeviceManager/HardDiskControllers area as "Sundisk ATA Flashdisk". However, Simple Tech cards trigger the OB800 to install an additonal "standard ide/esdi hard disk controller" driver (besides the one already there for the hard disk). The new entry however, has an exclamation mark on the icon and "properties/general/device_status gets the message "this device is not present, not working properly......". This is how the entry looks both before and after I reboot the system (just to make sure it wasn't a hot-swap problem). The Properties/Resource tab for the card's "standard ide/esdi hard disk controller" entry shows "no conflicts", and resource_type are: io range 0170-0177 io range 0376-0377 int req 09 The solution to make the card recognized is as follows (doing this in ControlPanel/System/DeviceManager/HardDiskControllers/Properties/Resource tab for the card): - Uncheck "use automatic settings" - Set "setting based on" field to "basic configuration 0004" (the default was 0000 or 0001). This changes the "resouce settings" from two Input/Output ranges to only one, and lets you modify it. - Double click the Input/Output range and change the value from the default "0000-000F" to "0110-011F", then OK. - At this point, the Simple card is recognizable by Explorer. You probably should reboot...never hurts. After this is done, the card is hot-swappable (at least it hasn't locked up my system yet). Thanks again Bill and all who had suggestions to offer .... this is truly a great list.

If you really need the make a drive E:, then get the SUBST command from a DOS 5 disk set. SUBST does the exact same thing, but without any RAM overhead or compatibility problems. HP put ASSIGN in the default AUTOEXEC.BAT file some onscure reason and, in hindsight, it was a bad idea.

Shame on you for not backing up. If your information is important enough to you, then make backups just as important. I doubt that there was a hard error on your flash card. It could be that your ADB file was currupted and/or the Stacker file system got hosed, and/or the underlying DOS file system got hosed. Run the Stacker CHECK A: /F utility to make sure Stacker is not having a problem. Reboot the palmtop so that Stacker does not load and run CHKDSK A: /F on the DOS file system underneath the Stacked volume. If this CHKDSK reports and fixes any errors, then you will need to reboot normally and load Stacker again. To check the Stacker file system, run their utility CHECK A: /F which is Stacker's version of CHKDSK. Then run CHKDSK A: /F again to make sure everything is fine at that level. After all of this, then you should be confident that your flash card is fine and the Stacker and DOS file systems are intact. The only thing left if the ADB file itself. If Garlic cannot fix it, then try ADBIO to see if that can translate it into a CDF file. Then try making a brand new ADB file the CDF. And don't fool around with low batteries. The price of losing data is much greater than the cost of a pair of batteries! Never leave the palmtop alone for a long time after a low battery warning. Consider how much time (and therefore money) it is going to cost you to recover this lost ADB if you even can. Now, how does that compare to the cost of a pair of batteries and a few minutes per day to do a backup?

The reason why the palmtop stays on while charging is because the CPU is busy monitoring the charging cycle, not just because the timeout is infinitely long. In order to turn the palmtop off, charging must be stopped first. I know that the delay for the "Charging started" and "charging stopped" messages is annoying, but it can be shortcutted with the ESC key. You can also stop charging by pulling out the AC adapter cord from the palmtop. Turn the palmtop off, swap cards and then plug in the AC adapter again. If charging is enabled, the palmtop will turn itself back on and begin charging. You should consider charging the palmtop overnight rather than during the day while you are sitting at your desk with it. Of course, keep the palmtop plugged into the AC adapter while at your desk so that you don't use the batteries, just don't charge. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 7 Jan 1999 12:28:18 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , stanleyd@CARROLL.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stanley Dobrowski Subject: how to run 100 on a pc?

The date field is of date-type, fist field in data base definition and first in display. I've tried up and down sort.

Comments: To: profengr@delanet.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable It=B4s more difficult than that. To send a byte to the serial port you need to set several registers of the UART (a chip dedicated to serial communications), and each register is at a dedicated port. To ease the things, there are routines in the BIOS to send and receive a character from the serial port. These have to be called by a software interrupt, with specific values in the processor=B4s registers. Most programming languages contain functions or libraries to handle serial port communications, but I do not know PowerBASIC to tell how it works there.

Hello all, It seems quite a few users start to care for new money EURO on the LX. Yes, it's sign should be available on the palmtop, too. This is not a perfect solution, but I repost it. If anyone has idea for TSR or other really good solution, please do it. However, I'm afraid that it's double horizontal lines cannot be reproduced within the limited resolution of the character cell. I've thought of using a character resembling "element of" symbol in set theory, that's in codepage 437. Not matching very well and according to IBM PC-DOS 5.00 manual it's in fact greek letter "eta". Of course, it only has one wide line in the middle. It look similar to the letter E in European Community Conform sticker "CE". (Fluff: possibly Mack should offer CGA ROM replacement, where Euro takes the place of either Yen or US dollars or UK pound sterling, at your wish.

Now I personally think he's completely off his tree, but just to ensure that I don't inadventently get D&A into trouble: 1/ Avi & I had discussions on the general question "Does my releasing freeware hurt your business?" Avi said (and I hope he doesn't mind me paraphrasing what he said) that he has no problem with my releasing LXTCP & PNR. I did this before releasing LXTCP to make sure that my actions would not harm a valued HP200LX company. 2/ I told him that I personally have no desire to write a Web client at the moment, and am more interested in raw-functionality tools as I described above. He welcomed the fact that there was more than one internet email solution for the HP200LX, as that shows it's still a viable platform. 3/ D&A & I did *not* enter into any agreement (neither explicity or implied) about segmentation of the HP200LX market. Anyone (including myself) is free to write and release a competing web client at any time. I personally recommend buying WWW/LX if you can afford it, and Arachne if you can't. 4/ Anyone is free to take the LXTCP source code and do whatever they want with it (including making it into a commercial program and selling it) - as long as the source remains available to other developers to do the same. 5/ It is my *personal* decision not to intrude on the turf of D&A because of my *personal* respect for what they do and they way they run their business (not least the fact that they support freeware tools like PE).

While it's true that we have a bad problem over here with staggeringly ignorant people who don't know what laws actually are, and carry some weird fantasies about what they _think_ they are, it is _not_ universal. If you were in the US, and you engaged in negotiations with another company to collude to control the market and shut out competitors, and the Justice Dept. got interested enough to launch a case against you, then yup, you might have gotten in trouble. Of course none of the above come near applying. Even if they did, despite what your unnamed member whined, "morals" don't come into it --- antitrust legislation is some pretty amoral coercion by the U.S. Govt., intended to try and undo some damage that had been done by some other pretty amoral coercion in the form of granting exclusive franchises to various companies to encourage them to develop major chunks of national infrastructure. Similar circumstances apply whenever _anything_ --- from individual disagreement with the owner of a system to a disk crash --- messes up people's email or netnews or whatever, some dink-brain will screech about the "first amendment". I think it's delightful that you took the trouble to reach out and chat with D&A, to help make sure your development project doesn't seem like a direct assault on their product. -Bennett ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 7 Jan 1999 14:57:33 -0800 Reply-To: Ron Zhang Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ron Zhang Subject: Re: Database indexing problem MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/plain; charset=us-ascii How do you lucky guys type in the date?

I believe most of the apps use an "internal" format for date like this: 19990107 But of course date and time are separate "entities" so it's not quite as nice as your favorite, the ISO standard. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 8 Jan 1999 08:05:06 +0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Russell Hemery Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Russell Hemery Subject: Re: Database indexing problem Comments: To: David Sargeant Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" At 07:43 AM 7/01/99 -0800, you wrote: >On Thu, 7 Jan 1999, Steve Dowell wrote: > >> It's defined as a Text field.

Hi David & List Congrats on the 64MB I had Stacker 3.0 on my flash card that worked great under win3.11 and also once I upgraded to win95 under old PCMCIA drivers. Mainly for SCSI PC card support I installed WIN95 32 bit drivers for PC slot. After this my Win95 machine would not load stacker for my compressed volume to be recognised. Stac didnt seem to have a version to support Win AND DOS together that I found.. Has this changed? I have found JAM really reliable and had the advantage of Jamming my C: easily as well as the card. Its "slightly better compression" than I got with Stacker 3.0 too. Jmax util optimises the drives and recompresses. I have JAM running under Win95 but dont know anyone else yet. We have just contacted one of the authors of JAM.SYS. It seems likely we will be able to get some patches for win95 versions and/or reading on Win95/98 and maybe NT if all goes well. Not "on the fly" writing under Win as I understand it.. This is livable for backups I feel. I have just changed to JAR from ARJ software for backups.. There is an incremental batch file included in the distribution.. Slower than Pkzip but better compression than Pkzips best by 20% for me. Compressing on a DS LX is about 5 Meg/Hour.. incremental after that is a few minutes. Extraction is slower too but not much difference than Zip. There is a 32 bit version that I run on my Laptop..fast.. Get smaller archive files to keep on my LX for reference. Jar/Zip may be an option for you to consider instead. JAM gives you a size option.. Set maybe 10 Meg of your card Jammed and 10 Meg uncompressed for file transfer until/if you get JAM solution for your system. Normal caution is needed as you get to full capacity of a compressed drive. This is the only time I ever had trouble under Jam. Error catching is finicky under these circumstances. I hope this is all clear.. If you have any other questions I am happy to help.. Russell >I'd also like to use the flash in a Win95 machine to backup >the backup!! If this has any bearing on the decision. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 8 Jan 1999 08:05:10 +0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Russell Hemery Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Russell Hemery Subject: Re: Optimizing CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT (or, too much idle time) Comments: To: Phil Drummond Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" >install d:\bin\cic100.exe /gen 1 >install c:\_sys\battlog.com >install c:\_sys\maxdos.com -l -wc:\bin\maxdos Hi Phil Firstly thanks for posting your startup files.

NANSI (Simtel), NNANSI (Simtel), or ZANSI (SUPER?), are all pretty good, but I don't know which is best. They should all, however, be faster and smaller than the default Microsoft ANSI.SYS. Naturally, as you don't use ANSI often, this isn't very important. > Ýautoexec.bat¨ Ýcomments¨ Although I'm nit-picking now, these three lines: > copy con bootdesc.doc > if exist bootdesc.doc type bootdesc.doc>>bootlog.doc > if exist bootdesc.doc del bootdesc.doc>NUL Could be replaced with a single: type con >> bootlog.doc As far as I can see, it offers exactly the same funtionality.

Hi David and List I have tried an idea that seems to work and speed locate as well. What I did was take Davids requirement of Date input and need for speed locate and solution of Text field indexing correctly.. First column is Date in whatever format you want (speed locate works on this). An extra field set as TEXT called Datesort is needed (Sort field). Enter Date and data and whenever complete run a Macro that.. Goes into Setup..dateformat and changes format to YY-MM-DD Goes back into Notetaker/DB etc and copies from Date to Datesort field within the record. Return Setup to Original Format..eg MM/DD/YY (This causes date to be as you want but Datesort stays as YYYY-MM-DD (Sorts Correctly) The Sort option I set to Datesort field (Required) with second sort on Alpha (Option) Speed locate works only if sorted on Datesort Text field..didnt work when sorting on Date only. Dates tried .. MM/DD/YY 02/28/81 09/27/83 04/04/92 04/04/92 05/07/95 01/02/96 03/27/97 06/08/98 06/21/98 01/08/99 01/08/99 01/08/99 06/08/99 09/27/61 (2061) The above is listed as sorted in HPLX I also tried invalid dates. This caused the record to be positioned as the first entry in the list. Re-entered date correctly and re ran Macro. All ok. I trust this does what was asked for. Anybody have a better solution?

I have gotten the connection to work with Transfile Win, so I know the cable and general communications on the LX200 works ok. I also have used the PC's Laplink with another PC. What should I do next? Second, I went looking around on D:\BIN at the LLRA stuff, and ran the BAT file by mistake. Then when I tried to use Laplink again, I got the messge: Path to TSI.INI file is not correct for server. Terminate system manager, unload LLRA TSRs, run LLRAS, and restart the computer. I know how to terminate the system manager, but I don't know how to unload tsr's. Is there a utility on the HP200LX to do this, or do I need another? I think I can restart the computer ("200" at the DOS command line, I believe). Thanks very much for whatever help might be given. Please reply by e-mail, because I only get the list discussion in digest form, and I'd like to clear this up by the weekend if possible.

Install only works in the config.sys file. Install is an "internal" command. The excerpts from my config.sys are working right now. Do not use an "=" (equal sign) to delimit install from the command line of the program you are trying to load. Before you load something with install, load it normally and use 'mem /d|more' to see what memory the program uses, then try installing it and use mem again to see what savings (if any) it makes.

Sutherland" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Charles, I have had the same problem with my phone book corrupting, and noticed that it happens under two circumstances: 1. Battery low/failure imminent. When my battery indicator comes on, I quickly close all my applications, especially the phone book because if the 200LX dies with it open, it's corrupted. Garlic doesn't seem to be able to fix it. I've been burned on this one several times. 2. Someone once showed me that you can get into a diagnostic mode by powering on the 200LX while holding the escape key. Well, I used to do this to check the battery level, but noticed that it also corrupted my phone database if it was open at the time. I suspect this would also happen if you re-boot with a ctl-alt-del. After having been frustrated with losing phone entries due to the two circumstances indicated above, I now do the following. First, I don't use the diag mode. Second, I back up my c:_dat directory to my flash card as well as an occasional backup to my laptop (using serial cable with transfile). I used to do a backup every time I made a new phone entry, but I recently wrote a macro which wakes up at midnight, checks for modified files in c:_dat, and copies them to the A drive. Interestingly enough, I've never had my appt book get corrupted, even when I've left it open under the above circumstances. Go figure.

Appears to read well. What test would be more definitive to determine read/write times? The wrapping advertises, "Guaranteed 100% compatible with your Handheld PC, Palm PC, and Digital Camera", "Low Power Consumption", etc., etc., and "Designed for Microsoft Windows CE" (which *really* sold it for me ). I have 7 days to return this card, so please let me know how I can test it. In case anyone is interested, their number is: 800.272.6242 The cat. no. is FL40MATS, the total charge, with UPS ground, was $143.40 (with sales tax). I have no vested interest in MagicRAM, was just shopping via HotBot and came up with this one. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 8 Jan 1999 11:15:50 -0800 Reply-To: "Joseph S.

Sutherland" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Yes, I have had a problem with my Phone database also. Every once in a while (two or three times a year) it suddenly has it's entries out of alphabetical order in a weird way. I find an entry in the wrong sorted place, but if I look at where it is supposed to fall in the sort, it is there also. If I delete one, the other goes away also. So it is actually showing me an entry twice, but only one really exhists. The only way I have found around it is to go to a backed up good copy and rebuild any changes before I delete the corrupted one. I now have my palmtop backup certain files, phone database files included, every night to another directory within the palmtop itself, not to another drive. If I then find the database corrupted, I have the day before's copy to check for a quick fix. Otherwise, I have to go back a few days\weeks to my full palmtop backups on another full size PC. Once, I did not find the corruption for a long time, and once found, I had to go back about 3 full backups on the PC to find a non-corruped version to rebuild. Now I keep all my full backups on disk, as opposed to rotating two or three copies. Like 6 megs every few weeks is going to fill up a multi-gig hard disk much. It is better protection than the cost of the hard disks now days. Dan Carrington "Charles E. Sutherland" wrote: > > Help.

I do not recommend attempting to make a connector unless you already have an HP cable available for comparison. The parts you need are: H2004-ND Hirose Electric Co., A3B series 10-pin, dual-row, 2mm connector, quantity 1 H9999-ND socket terminals, quantity 100 I recommend buying 10 of the H2004-ND connector bodies to match the terminals which come in a pack of 100. You WILL spoil a lot of the parts! You will also need a crimper to attach the socket terminals to your wire ends. I use a Radio Shack D-sub pin crimper 276-1595. Notes: Assembling the connector is an EXTREMELY delicate and tedious task. I usually have to start over a couple times before I get it right. The Radio Shack crimper is sized for these terminals, but you have to be careful to get the crimps right -- it's easy to be too loose or to overcrimp and break the wires. Once I get everything wired up correctly, I use a bit of 5-minute epoxy to reinforce the wires and to provide strain relief. Once the epoxy has cured I use heat-shrink tubing on the cable to protect the wires (This piece of tubing in slipped on the cable before the connector is assembled). A bit of plastic or matchstick is then glued onto the connector body for an alignment key and then a second layer of shrink wrap is applied the entire assembly to produce a pseudo-hood.

There is a special version of it that is low power for HPC's, Psion, Newton and 200LX! It is also cel phone compatable and includes a cable! And the price is only about $125 at CompUSA! I know this sounds too good to be true, but I have it and am still trying to find out if this modem is all that it is claimed. Tech Support says it needs 175 ma but that is works in the 200LX. I can't get a straight answer even from level 2 tech support. When I try it in the palmtop, it works. But it seems to suck down my tired old rechargeables rather fast. The model number RFM56KWINCE. Check out their web site www.vikingcomponents.com. Viking also has a 33.6 modem that says for certain is draws 144 ma (which would be perfect for the palmtop) and the 33.6 (although it does not advertise it) is also cel compatable, but the cable is not included so it is a $60 accessory. But the people at SupplyNet who sell the cel cables say the 33.6 is not compatable with my cel phone (the Motorola SC-725). So, my head is still spinning trying to figure this all out and I have 10 days to return the modem to CompUSA. If anyone has any expeciencewith this thing, please feel free to share it with us. There are also PC Card cel compatable modems from EXP, 3COM/Mhz, TDK, and others, but I am having a hard time determining the power consumption of these.

On the LX, I prefer Freyja or PE. Mostly PE lately, because it has some neat features I don't think Freyja has (running a selected piece of text through a DOS program (filter) and then replacing the original text with it). Of course, Freyja has the advantage of being System Manager compliant, if you're the UNIXy type and do a lot of stuff in SysMgr (I don't) then that's a must. How fast does JOVE run on the LX?

Also use calvin and vim, as > necessary. Yes, some editors have this (including elvis, the ":!{something}" command, I forget), but almost all of them do it on a line-based basis, whereas PE is character based (ie I can select from the middle of a line to the middle of the next, I don't need to select whole lines). The difference is slight I agree, but very useful if you, like me, write HTML on the palmtop. For instance, I have a macro on the LX that will prepend and append a selected piece of text with an HTML tag. For instance, if I have the following line: These three words should be written in italic. and want to place the first three words in italics, I would select them, and then run my macro with the "" argument. It would then place "" before the selection and "" after it (what PE really does is save the selection to a temporary file and then call a small filter I made, which will place "" and "" before and after its argument (a file) with the tempoary file). Phew. hope that made sense... It's is a small difference, but sometimes the limit imposed by only being able to select lines is very annoying. The comment about VI users was a joke (because I know there are so many on the list :-), hence the smiley. I've nothing against VI itself - I use many of its commands daily when I use "less" or similar UNIX utilities which contain a subset of VI's command set.

As for PE vs. Freyja (which is not what you asked, I know), it depends on what you want, really. Both are very competent editors, while Freyja is more like UNIX EMACS than PE, for better or worse...

You may have the regular 56K PC Card modem from Viking that is not the low power version designed for the WinCE machines that I bought. Since my Viking works in the palmtop on batteries and yours doesn't, that is encouraging to think that mine really may be lower power than the regular one.

Thanks for the warning. I was very careful when I tried it the PC Card modem in the palmtop. Only for a few minutes. But I am worried about the very trouble you had. Viking says it is 175 ma, but that it works in the palmtop. That contradiction worries me a great deal. It looks like I may have to play it safe but expensive: get the 33.6 Viking modem for $99 and then buy the separate cable for $60. But the cable people say only the 56K works with my cel phone.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I was just sitting here pondering the fact that in 1999 we'll see 640MB flash cards, and in 2000 the advent of 1GB flash cards, and a thought struck me. I remember with older computers (early 486's and before) the hard drive was represented in the BIOS via a straight CHS (cylinder-head-sector) representation. Unfortunately, this limited the drive to something like 528MB, and so LBA (logical block addressing) was implemented to overcome this. So... I'm wondering if this particular problem will show up on the 200LX. Will it be able to see flash cards >528MB? I can't imagine that the designers of the 200LX would have ever expected the machine to be presented with such a large card, so I'm a bit nervous, and yet the 200LX is a pretty robust machine, so...

Laurence, if you put the cursor on a repeating appointment and then use the Menu Edit Restore ..., it will pop up with a range of dates to enter. Press F1 at this point for an explanation of what this feature does. Apparently, it will add back in repeated appointments that you have deleted.

If I have to wait 0.25 extra seconds for something, I might just not do it. "You need that status report this afternoon, boss? Well...

David, IMO the single most important feature of the EXM is its ability to allow a measure of 'multi-tasking' within the System Manager environment. When the Sysman code was written there probably weren't as many refinements and great utilities for using DOS programs on the LX as there are today. Without the EXM you wouldn't be able to check that database then switch over to your phonebook then pop into 123 - you'd have to shut one down before starting another. Although the EXM may be limited, i've seen quite a few powerful EXM programs - MiniFax for example (a great fax program that is bundled with the EXP Thinfax cards) boasts a reasonable level of functionality. Plus their memory overhead seems to be quite frugal. I've even found some of them to be a bit more stable than their DOS counterparts (when last have you seen Memo lockup your LX? )...

I tried >using a program called Maven with no luck >getting the connection working. I've used Interlnk (and also Datacomm/Hyperterminal and Transfile), each has its own advantages. If you want 115k xfer speed, you may not get it with Interlnk as it seems to go into "variable" speed mode using the serial port (vs "turbo" mode thru the parallel port). This is with the DOS 6.2 version of Interlnk. The built-in Laplink seems to run faster than Interlnk, but requires that you run a TSR before using it, which adds to the RAM-cram...but may not be too bad depending on your needs.

As Systems Administrator, I know what my responsibility is. I make sure nobody gets in without permission no matter what. The problem with your little theory is that if an employee finds a hole, you are assuming they're going to come to you and tell all about it. My experience not only as sysadmin but as an employee is if they find a hole, they will hide it from you as long as they can. Oh you'll find out about it --- but only after something breaks. Sounds like you have a wonderful life, and it must be nice to have all your co-workers looking out for you. I don't have it so lucky. >Your response sounded to me like the standard corporate line.

I've had servers unplugged, wiring closets re-arranged, and computers intentionally broken all because employees couldn't get through our firewall to download the screensaver of the month. They aren't small children, they're large children with bad attitudes. And as far as proper systems maintenance goes, I'll put my abilities up against anyone, anytime. >Where do I come from with my reply?

So anyway, one day he went to sleep and when he awoke he was in his bathtub and it was full of ice and he was sore all over. When he got out of the tub he realized that HIS KIDNEYS HAD BEEN STOLEN and he saw a note on his mirror that said "Call 911!" But he was afraid to use his phone because it was connected to his computer, and there was a virus on his computer that would destroy his hard drive if he opened an e-mail entitled "Join the crew!" He knew it wasn't a hoax because he himself was a computer programmer who was working on software to save us from Armageddon when the year 2000 rolls around. His program will prevent a global disaster in which all the computers get together and distribute the $600 Nieman Marcus cookie recipe under the leadership of Bill Gates. (It's true-I read it all last week in a mass e-mail from BILL GATES HIMSELF, who was also promising me a free Disneyworld vacation and $5,000 if I would forward the e-mail to everyone I know.) The poor man then tried to call 911 from a pay phone to report his missing kidneys, but reaching into the coin-return slot he got jabbed with an HIV-infected needle around which was wrapped a note that said, "Welcome to the world of AIDS." Luckily he was only a few blocks from the hospital-the one, actually, where that little boy who is dying of cancer is, the one whose last wish is for everyone in the world to send him an e-mail and the American Cancer Society has agreed to pay him a nickel for every e-mail he receives. I sent him two e- mails and one of them was a bunch of x's and o's in the shape of an angel (if you get it and forward it to twenty people you will have good luck but ten people you will only have ok luck and if you send it to less than ten people you will have BAD LUCK FOR SEVEN YEARS). So anyway the poor guy tried to drive himself to the hospital, but on the way he noticed another car driving along without his lights on. To be helpful, he flashed his lights at him and was promptly shot as part of a gang initiation. And it's a little- known fact that the Y1K problem caused the Dark Ages. --openmail-part-1fd1e716-00000001-- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 11 Jan 1999 13:40:16 EST Reply-To: tcbordp@vbbusnw1.tc.cc.va.us Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Peter W.

From what I hear, there's no reason for anyone to worry about what you do. I would have been more surprised if sendmail had worked! Usually mailserver access (POP3) is shut down by the firewall. Use a web-based mail service like Hotmail and forward your private mail to that. Then you can read your private mail in the comfort of your own office or anywhere else for that matter, since Web browsers abound. As regards FTP, are you sure they have not set up a proxy server for ftp on your network?

Julius Caesar got his name tied to the basic system we use, it was called the Julian calendar, looks pretty much like ours, only without oddball leap year exceptions --- every fourth year was a leap year, period. Problem is, it takes the earth a hair less than 365.25 days to swing once around the Sun. By some time in the middle ages, during the reign of Pope Gregory the somethingorother, that nearly-quarter-day error had added up to nearly a month, and christmas was wandering on into springtime, so the Gregorian calendar was adopted most places, has eventually taken over nearly everywhere, it looks like every year has 365 days, unless the year is a multiple of 4, in which case it's a leap year, unless the year is also divisble by 100, in which case it's not, unless the year is also divisible by 400, in which case it _is_ and there the sequence stops. Or so I recall. I've a bookmark of a site that describes it in even more detail, sadly that bookmark (at Royal Greenwich Observatory) seems to be extinct. To the best of my recollection, the Gregorian calendar shouldn't accumulate a full day's error for millenia. -Bennett ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 11 Jan 1999 12:15:55 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , John Evans - NXHJ Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: John Evans - NXHJ Organization: Titan Software Systems Subject: Re: Fluff; Leap Years Comments: To: "Nestor A.

I am going to share something with you and I hope that you don not take it as abuse or insult. The InterNet has been around or about 10 years and has its own culture associated with it. It is only recently that the "general public" has been invited to participate. However the longterm users have not been very friendly or helpfull in bringing the newbies along. We used to have net.saints (of which yours truly use to be) who would help people along, but recently (read last three years) the raw numbers have just made this impossible. One of the rules used to be "read for 6 months before you post anything". That period let you get used to tone of the group and the legands that make the rounds from time to time. The "good times" and "pen pal" email virus are classics and are about five years old. They get the newbies all excited and flood the USENET and ListServers. Knowledge sets you free .. the next time you see something that looks like it should spread far and wide - do an AltaVista and DejaNews search on it first. You may be supprised what you find. My guess is that most (if not all) of the people that slammed you are not snobs - they just have the benefit of more time in the saddle. Remember - everthing you say on the InterNet is immediately checked for spelling, punctuation and logic by 6 million people.

I think the best editor is the one you know best that can get the job done. The kind of discussions you mentioned was the following: A WordPerfect user - who used the table and 100%-preview functions since years for example - had to hear from a MS Word user the happy news, that people then (years later) can create tables and preview their documents with their word processor. It was always the same: Micro$oft always sold the innovations of others as new features.

I've allocated 310K for DOS from setup. Running the appointment book together with IS is suddenly giving problems with the to do function. I recently added a "master to do" with a very large note as well as a macro for moving between certain to do items but it comes up with a "insufficient memory" error message. The diary function works as normal though. Allocating extra memory to DOS doesn't work (IS won't load at all then). I've played around with a couple of permutations but none work. I suppose all I can do is to invest in an upgrade to more MB's or is there some other memory - enhancing trick that I can pull off now? I read somewhere that it's possible to disable "filer" to release some memory (think it'll release a hefty 56K). Anyone know how? And what are the downsides, if any, to doing this?

You might also be interested in a couple of EXM programs from Japan (available on SUPER). KEYM gives a display of programs and macros with their hotkeys, and will also allow you to close Filer.

I've seen this too. The fax program is assigned the same scancode as the old Memo key. So Post kicks off Fax instead of Memo. The reason PE doesn't work is because you're running from SysMgr, so Post calls Memo instead of PE. Try using Maxdos, or just running Post from plain DOS. It should call PE if you've got PE in the configuration field. Bill On Mon, 11 Jan 1999, Stephan Goeldi wrote: > Can you tell me what I do wrong?

I have a DB of about 1200 records indexed on name that I have for contacts. I had entered a record but could not remember what I had entered it under. In trying to find it I discovered the Sort on "None" option. Voila!! What I wanted was within the last ten records at the bottom of the DB list. (records were in the order they were added to the DB all the way back to the very first record I ever entered) This inspired some thoughts.. It seems as if the DB just appends each new record to the end of the file and indexes on whatever sort method is set.. Same as file system in DOS. Anybody have any info on this? I investigated on a test DB by Macro copy from one DB to a "new" DB and the new one is sequentially written in the sorted order. The Menu/file/copy option repeats the order of the old DB. Ie needs indexing. Optimising by sequentially copying records seems to solve the DB indexing prob mentioned recently with Date and Fastfind by David Sargeant..as long as the new records are added in date order after "optimisation"to the end of the DB. Adding data after original entry doesnt seem to change the record location in the DB. ie Fastfind works as it should with no extra fields neccessary if "No Sort". Anyway before this message becomes a book..Can you help with possible solutions? To sequentially copy from one DB to another I used and (Cut/Paste) chaining the macro to itself. Is there a way to end a Macro when the original DB is empty? I had to to terminate the simple Macro I wrote as it kept adding the last record cut. Is there another way to step through a DB records so all are processed? I Macroed DB to DB. What are the consequences of say DB to NDB copy and then NDB2DB conversion to speed processing? Any thoughts on PB corruption and ADB corruption based on a hypothesis of data integrity being increased by optimising /defragging a DB this way? How can the ADB be defragged? Are there any utils that optimise our DB's? Is file size likely to be decreased by "No Sort" option? Faster access? Any other benefits? Macro is "SLOW" so I'm going to gdbio out and into a new DB.. As of this message I havent tried that to see if it writes sequentially but logic suggests it will. I'll post results. Any comments/experiences/feedback on any of the above?

There's the CUT and AWK utility that immediately come to mind. But also, you might dig up the old QSORT program by Ben Baker. It is an enhanced SORT utility, has many of the more advanced sorting features. Mine is dated 1987 and called Version 3.00 Quick search on the web reveals this is still available on various Simtel archives. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit My apologies for the lack of serious HPLX content. My recent purchase of a close out OmniBook brings up this question. Is there a Omnibook list? While the 800CT can never replace my 200LX, as others have stated, it is the best laptop I have used, period. The only drawback is the heat generated. The new thin laptops with heat dispersing magnesium cases seem to run cooler but I would not trade for one. Considering the excellent design of the OmniBook and HP95/100/200LX series compared to the current HP offerings, it seems HP has slipped. It is a sad thought. One can only hope HP will see the error of their ways and once again offer cutting edge products.

I'll create DBs from online info (phonebooks, host data, etc.) I'll use a DB for data collection and dump it into CSV and process it on the workstation (perl's Text::CSV_XS module rocks here). And for what you are interested in, you could gdbdump it into CSV format, sort that CSV format to suit you, rearrange columns if you're gonna frob the schema (not necessary perhaps, but I do like to have my CSV columns align with the order of the fields, as indicated by TAB navigation, within the gdb database). Then make a new DB (file/new) with the same schema and no records, and gdbload your sorted CSV back into that. The first time you open the fruit of this operation it'll claim "no records found", because gdbload doesn't populate the indices, but just pull up the "All records" subset and gdb will re-index the DB and away you go. -Bennett ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1999 08:36:53 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Claud G.

I agree with Stan, why would anyone want this facility, perhaps that's why it never got a mention in the user manual. It seems that using it prone to some error if you lose track of how many repeating appointments you have deleted, it would be easy to restore some occurrences you want to keep deleted and you will not know as the restored appointments are not reported to the user. At least I know what it does now.

Is there any piece of add-on software I can get that will cause the 6-month calender view to highlight or otherwise indicate that there is something occuring on a particular date? Example: I set up an event - say April 22-24, field testing. In the view where you see a week or a month, the event appears. But when you go to the 6-month view (which I find the most useful for scheduling things in the long term), there is nothing in the display to let you know that you should go and check these particular dates to see that something is already there. I would find it quite useful to be able to have events or appointments flagged at the 6 month level. Any help appreciated (the tech rep at HP was very willing to help, but after we spent about 30 minutes on the phone, told me that it certainly appears that this is NOT a feature in the 200LX.

Not much use to you. I think you want the mini-cardstation (BWR there is one for the Libretto 50/70/100 and a different one for the Libretto 110). That gives you a second PC card socket, so you can run the FDD and something else. I use a Panasonic KXL-D740 PC card CD-ROM. It's a SCSI PC card, and the driver disk that came with it set it up correctly first time. I've used this to reinstall Win95 from CD-ROM before restoring the backup over the top. I guess if I used Colorado backup I could have restored the system from a boot disk, I use a Ditto tape and have to get Win95 running to run the restore (daft!). The PC card CD-ROM is really useful, we use it on several older laptops that do not have CDROMs. And it can play music, runs on batteries if needed etc. The other BWR is that I found the FDD used IRQ15 I think, and that caused a conflict with either a card modem or a LAN card, don;t recall which but I infer that the FDD is *not* plug and play in some way. Easily fixed from the control panel. Needless to say (and I put this in so this mentions the LX in this list!) the SCSI card draws far too much power to run in an LX, great shame. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 13 Jan 1999 03:46:19 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , zot2u Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: zot2u Subject: ÝFwd: Re: HP connectivity kit¨ MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-ID: <369C875B.118F@earthlink.net> Date: Wed, 13 Jan 1999 03:45:31 -0800 From: zot2u X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01Gold (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Paul Lusardi Subject: Re: HP connectivity kit References: <369A21B5.BE4E5FCD@mbta.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Paul Lusardi wrote: > > I saw your posting in the archives.... > > do you still have the HP connectivity kit for sale ? > > I have the HP 200LX > > what other access. do you have for this unit? > > Paul Yes...and many other accessories...such as: 170 megabyte HD with adaptor card $150 for both 130 megabyte HD with adaptor card $135 for both package price $250.

Because in 2.2, 200LX will not be able to load the TCP/IP drivers due to that it's 286 code. An older version may work.... It's possible to map drivers on a NT network using NetBUI. But NetBUI has limitations and TCP/IP is the way to go in a NT network. So if an early OS/2 release can handle TCP/IP, it could be interesting to test it on the 200LX.

I did have it running under sysman with maxdos but when I modified the vcs extension it stopped working (gotta watch the size of that state file). So now I have to exit sysman (and unload some tsr's that maxdos used to) in order to run it. Once you turn off syntax hilighting it runs at a usable speed (on a double-speed HP). But as I use it about 8 - 10 hours a day on the desktop (really), I find that I cannot live without it. I'll even run it on the palmtop just to sort a file on a column, or to run a macro for a repetitive edit! I don't have a minimal install either, I have the eel header files and the source files zipped, and the source to several extensions I use.... I'm known in the office as an epsilon evangelist, my most common phrase (after 'rtfm') is probably 'i could do that in half the time in epsilon'. But... I've been thru very heavy editor-wars before!

I kinda doubt it. While I can understand what you want and why you want it, I expect that the designers of the software didn't plan on it, just because many, perhaps most people rapidly get their box set up so that every day would be highlighted. First you merge the holidays database. Then you use adbmoon to load the phases of the moon. Then you put in any appointment you get. Then you start tucking in reminders to run errands and do chores. Then you start putting in tickler-style alerts so when some big event is coming up (e.g. a bill that needs paying occasionally like every 6 months or once a year, or someone's birthday, or whatever) you have lead-up warnings every day approaching for 2 weeks or a month. While you might not pack your appt book that way, I suspect the designers had a vision of that sort of use in their minds when they set the software up. -Bennett ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 13 Jan 1999 00:37:51 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Paulo =?iso-8859-1?Q?S=E9rgio=20Cust=F3dio?= Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Paulo =?iso-8859-1?Q?S=E9rgio=20Cust=F3dio?= Subject: Re: 56k modems Comments: To: stanleyd@CARROLL.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I tried my Silicom 56K modem (http://www.silicom.co.il), that I use on my Laptop in the LX.

My solution: - My nightly backup macro now first opens Filer so that the "close Filer" portion runs correctly.

I can't tell the difference. Win95 recognizes it as a Sundisk, but that may be more related to the driver it uses - I don't know.

Yes, the adapter for the Compact FLash makes it work in any regular size PCMCIA slot - such as the HP 100/200LX.

If you can find an older version of LapLink from Traveling Software, it works fine on the palmtop. The interface looks very similar to Filer. I use LapLink Pro, which is really like version 4. I would expect verion 3 works and I think version 5 does also. There is a share program called Zip that is a tiny and fast file transfer program that works from the command line - it does not have much of a user interface, but it is solid and efficient. It is probably available as the S.U.P.E.R. site. The HP Connectivity Pack will also do file transfers nicely because it has the Filer application. So, you can connect Filer on the palmtop to the Filer in the CPACK. For simple file transfers, you can use the built in DataComm application and connect it to a comms program, such as Hyper terminal, and then use the Ymodem or Zmodem transfer protocols.

I used Stacker for many years and found to to be quite reliable. It is really a good way to increase your flashcard's storage capacity without the expense of new hardware. But, of course, there are downsides to anything. The Stacker driver will take up about 40-45K of system RAM all the time. If you are already tight with system RAM with some of your programs, this will make it worse. A Stacked flashcard will not be readable in a Win95 machine without special proceedures and configurations to make it work. Reading from a Stacked card will be a little bit slower than without Stacker. Writing to the Stacked card will be noticable slower. The effect that you will see will be with the PIM data file opening, processing and closing slower than without Stacker. You will have to do a bit of a dance with the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files if you want to keep them on the flash card. The CONFIG.SYS goes on the unstacked part of the card and the AUTOEXEC.BAT goes on the Stacked part. Make sure you keep a copy of the Stacker driver program handy on the C: drive and other places because if you should happen to lose it, then you cannot access your flash card. Do you really think you will need to store more than 20MB on the 20MB card? If you are not sure, then don't bother with Stacker unless you really need it. I used Stacker for a long time with a 20MB card where I stored about 32MB on it all the time. Then I went out and bought a 40MB card, dumped Stacker and never looked back.

Mitch, do you mean lines within the notes field of a record in the Notetaker app on the 100/200LX? If yes, then I cannot think of any way to do this.

I have found a similar problem in Windows 95. I think Explorer checks all its drives as a background task, and when checking the Interlinked drive, takes a while over the serial interface to establish if the drive is there, thus making everything else wait. From what I remember, if the Palmtop is connected, thing seem OK, but when you do not have your Palmtop tethered, some longer timeouts come into play. For this reason I no longer load Interlink in my Config.sys, and instead reboot to a customised DOS session which loads Interlink and then allows me to transfer between the Palmtop and the PC. This is only done via batch file controlled backup sessions. For day to day drag & drop transfers of the occasional file, Transfile seem the most convenient.

That's a great idea. You might also consider consulting with some of the more frequented 200LX sites like hplx.net and palmtop.net about having them host it. Both palmtop.net and hplx.net are Unix-based systems. My first entry: an AT&T/Paradyne KeepInTouch 14.4 PC Card fax modem. Works great.

Don't go through either the Sysmgr copy buffer or memo. If you _did_ need to involve sysmgr copy buffer for some reason, I'd still avoid memo; I'd probably build a macro that needed to use the copy buffer around clipvue (available from S.U.P.E.R.), since I don't like automation techniques that trash the state of major sysmgr apps --- I sometimes leave memo open with some tmp data, like a shopping list or whatever, in it; I sometimes leave it open as a "file reader" for fairly large documents, typically converted from RTF using docrtf22 from S.U.P.E.R.; and anyhow it's an awfully heavyweight doowah to get the copy buffer saved to to a disk file. -Bennett ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 14 Jan 1999 22:09:06 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Stefan.Peichl@T-ONLINE.DE Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Stefan Peichl Subject: ANN: LXTEL MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable LXTEL is a "least cost router" for the new german telephone system.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Yes, automatic backups can be dangerous, given the way our HP databases corrupt without lettting us know till several days downstream. I usually backup my flash card (containing the live databases + the nightly backup) onto my desktop once every week or two... that's my only measure of protection and sometimes even that doesn't save me when a database goes south (the desktop version is either corrupt also, or is so old as to be useless). You just have to gauge your risk. I felt it was more important to have a nightly backup immediately available, usually to recover from an inadvertent change (ie, deleting records that were important or something like that). These problems occur much more frequently with me than corrupted databases (tho YMMV depending on whether you're as scatter-brained as I am). As to showing you my backup method...I did this once before about a year ago, and I remember it was painfully tedious to document. The concept is simple. Schedule a nightly appointment at 1am that runs a macro to close all apps and then run the backup. There's an excruciating amount of detail involved when I have to explain the workarounds and my reasons for doing things "just so", and those reasons may be peculiar to me Email me if you want all the details, but essentially I have macro key Fn-7 programmed to do the backups, and that starts an icon in AppMgr that MaxDos's out and runs a batch file that pkzips the entire sheebang into zip files on the flash card. The appointment entry is scheduled for repeating and: 1) Looks like this => ||7 Close Apps & backup ; the double vertical bars says a macro follows, the 7 is the macro number, the rest is comment 2) put a Q in the location field 3) enable the alarm 4) leadtime is set to 0 - Longden "Dean L." on 01/14/99 12:14:54 PM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to "Dean L."

It's possible, though tricky, to work around this problem in a standalone solution purely on the palmtop. It's a piece o' cake to solve the problem _thoroughly_ using tools on the desktop. I have a shell script on my Unix system, that uses lxcopy to do an incremental backup to a mirror I keep on the desktop, then checks all the updates to that mirror into CVS, a version-control system. This makes it effortless to take backups, and easy to get any version of any file at any point in time that ever got captured by a backup. The one thing this strategy doesn't try to do is to make it easy to reproduce the whole system (since it doesn't propogate deletions in at all); this hasn't been a problem; several times I've used my backups to reconstruct my palmtop (upgrading, switching to a backup machine when the primary needs repairs, doing juggling when changing disk compression strategies) and in each case it has been easy to just copy in the files I know I need, then add those I've missed as I discover I need 'em. Now that I've gotten an 85MB FLASH (and got it chock-a-block full pretty darned quick:-) I've tuned my backups a bit; there are a couple of directories on the FLASH where I keep _nothing_ except stuff I've downloaded, no editing or work or anything, any time I do any configuration or anything the target gets moved out of these download areas (pgms/, etext/, and db/). So I don't have to back them up. -Bennett ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 15 Jan 1999 00:31:39 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Tomas Moberg Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Tomas Moberg Subject: MS Network Client v3.0 :-( MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dont try this at home! ;-/ FYI: Microsoft Network Client v3.0 does not run on anything older than a 286.

I did this on my HP200 by recording a system macro and then scheduling that macro to execute in the appointment book. Essentially I have a macro that starts quicken, switches to the correct account, adds the transaction, saves it, and then exits quicken. I then schedule that macro to run in the appointment book using a repeating appointment (F8). Works every time. I actually have 3 of them. One records my mortgage payment, one my paycheck, and another a transfer that I make monthly from one account to another. They all happen in the middle of the night automagically! If you need this explained better, just drop me a note and I can elaborate on anything that I didn't make very clear.

Somewhere in the region of 32kb I think. I did read something about problems with cut'n'paste if the file was around 30-32 kb in size somewhere (the FAQ?), so it might be a good idea to stay below that level.

I'd like to address some of the questions others have brought up and share what I finally did. I'm using Jorgen LXBackup program for the specific reason that it keeps incremental backups. By that I mean that the backup that runs tonight will be a:\backup\150199\backup.zip. The backup that runs tomorrow night will be a:\backup\160199\backup.zip. I do a full backup to my desktop computer and remove all the backup files except the most recent. That way, I have the most current one with me for emergencies and if a file gets hosed up but I don't realize it until a few days later, I can go back to an earlier version. I wanted to run a macro that calls LXBackup to do the backup and then run another macro to copy the macro to the next day (see Avi's "Re: Waking Up LX at 2 am" in the archives). My problem was that I kept running out of memory, except that it wasn't obvious. Either the LX would lock up or PKZip would flash a message saying there wasn't enough memory, but it was so quick I couldn't read it. So here's what I finally came up with. 1. Set up LXBackup as an icon in More Applications and run it using |300 so it has enough memory. Also use the upside down ? (Fn-?) in the comment field to skip the "Press any key . . ." message when LXBackup is done. 2. Write a macro to close all the applications and call LXBackup. Closing all applications frees memory and ensures that I get a good copy of all the files. The macro looks like this: {More}{Menu}al{More}{End}{Enter} The LXBackup icon is the last one in the list so {End} takes me there. 3. Set up an appointment using ||6.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have been trying to get LXPGP working correctly for someone, and I *think* I figured out what possibly is the main problem, but wanted to ask about the behavior of MaxDOS. He is using MaxDOS to load acCIS or Post (I assume from SysMgr), then using MaxDOS again to load LXPGP, and coming up short on memory when PGP tries to execute. Am I correct in that the first use of MaxDOS, it swaps to disk to give the largest possible shell, but the second use simply creates a shell from the available memory, and does not swap to disk a second time? I never ran into this problem as I ran DOSShell or Software Carousel and always had enough ram to run the email program first, then using MaxDOS only to run LXPGP (really PGP, it's the hog.. :) Any suggestions on how to make this work? I'm not sure how much ram accCIS and Post take up, but LXPGP is 74K and PGP is 300K (IIRC) so 374K required just to do the Encryption. Given a 600K MaxDOS session, no problem, but assuming MaxDOS behaves the way I described earlier, that means 600K - 300K (accCIS,/Post, a guess) - 74K - 300K = not enough ram. Which is as I believe it happens, as LXPGP itself can run, but PGP fails when it is time to encrypt. Thanks, I'd really like to make this work for him! And would really like to figure out why PGP can't see it's keyfiles in its own directory that PGPPath is also set to, but that's another story. :) (BTW, putting them in the LXPGP directory, separate from PGP.EXE and the PGPPath setting, works! However, my setup LXPGP is separate from PGP and the keyfiles are in the same directory as PGP and the PGPPath setting and works. Weird..) ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 16 Jan 1999 10:06:47 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Bryan Biggers Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bryan Biggers Subject: Clik!?

I can't find this information in the 200LX manual but maybe I'm not looking in the right place so sorry in advance if this stuff is actually in there! I figured out the following by trial and error:- Fn-home goes to start of a line. Fn-end goes to the end of a line. Fn-Page Down jumps forward one screen at a time. Fn-Page Up jumps back one screen at a time. Ctrl-del deletes a whole line (or press shift and down arrow to select a whole line and then press delete). Ctrl-right arrow jumps one word to the right. Ctrl-left arrow jumps one word to the left. But what about:- 1. Is there a command to delete whole words? 2. Is there a command to jump to the end of a long note? 3. Is there a command to jump to the beginning of a long note? 4. Any other useful commands for use in notes? (I currently do (2) by several Fn-Page Downs and (3) by several Fn Page- Ups).

All of these are described in the built-in help in the LX. The catch is that they are described in the Memo help, not in the NoteTaker help. They are also fairly "standard". Most of them will work in Microsoft Word and similar word processors/editors too. BTW. there is really no such thing as "Fn-home", it is in fact just "home", which is made by pressing "Fn-Left arrow". > 1. Is there a command to delete whole words? No, AFAIK not in Memo/NoteTaker/SysMgr. The quickest is probably Ctrl-Shift-Right arrow followed by Del. > 2. Is there a command to jump to the end of a long note? "Ctrl-Fn-Right arrow" (the same as Ctrl-End) will jump to the end of the current note, just as it will jump to the end of the current file in Memo. > 3. Is there a command to jump to the beginning of a long note? Do as above, but use Left arrow/Home instead.

First of all, dear Stephan, please take the time and edit the email you want to reply to. Only cite the relevant part! If you want to make a phone call in Germany, you now have the possibility to use another provider than the ex-monopolist TELEKOM. You do so by predialing a 5 numer code which identifies the privat provider you want to use. Dependent on the day and time of day, you may save up to 80% of costs. LXTEL always tells you, which of the several new providers is actually the cheapest. LXTEL reads the date and time and then uses its database LXTEL.DAT to do a ranking of all providers. This is done in real time indeed. That is, as long as LXTEL is running, it constantly checks, if a new ranking has to be done. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 17 Jan 1999 11:56:00 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Ness Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Ness Subject: Re: rex to hp ?

My conclusions were that while there was no particular difficulty involved in speaking to the `hardware' of the Rex, the software was quite another matter. Part of the Rex's `charm' and `power' come from the tight integration of the data on the device with the data in the PC system(s) that the device is connected to. While I was quite convinced that I would--- after some investigation---be able to decode the major components of the data structure, it was not at all clear to me that I would ever be able to change that data in a way that would keep all of the data structures consistent.

As this is almost better than my XT (except for the floating point processor), I likely have the resources for this. How do you deal with the floating point processor matter?

Generally speaking, you want SRAM cards, not flash EEPROM. A helpful spotter's tip is that SRAM cards usually have a battery compartment (which holds a coin cell inside the card; the coin cell keeps the memory contents intact in the absence of external power), and flash cards typically don't (as they don't need the power source to retain data). They may also have two recessed switches, one which is actually a latch to hold the battery holder on (so it won't be pulled out accidentally), and one which is a write-protect switch. > and, what is the largest amount of RAM possible on those cards? The largest I've seen is 2MB, and I think I remember discussion of very expensive 4MB cards at the time (1991/1992).

This searching by the heads gives rise to repeated "clicks", which leads to the "click of death" tag. The noise is very disconcerting, as it is a very dramatic indicator that you are no longer able to access the Zip drives that you have been using for data storage, back-ups, transfers from machine ot machine, etc. I am speaking from personal experience - my unit worked perfectly for two years, then one morning suddenly died like a gun-slinger in a shootout. It appears that a major problem is that there is no method of cleaning the heads, so once they're dirty enough not to be able to read tracks properly, they're dead. Apparently this is a major, world-wide problem. I have read that the newer units are more prone to failure than the older, due to a decrease in quality control. A common comment is something like "...I loved my unit when it worked, but would never get one again" and that sort of thing. Be warned! i would advise against purchasing one unless you're prepared to accept a "half-life" of (I don't know the figures) say, 2 years. By the way, the warranty is (in Australia) 1 year.

Well, this ain't so! SMC are .EXM programs, and they _DO NOT_ have to have the GUI used by the System Manager. There are programs that are indeed SMC (i.e. .EXMs), but do not use the GUI. Example: Accis.EXM version 3.1a is an EXM but its GUI is indeed ugly (but functional!) certainly not the GUI you are used to. SMC, or System Manager Compliant means the program is an EXM program. Post/LX is not, nor is PE etc. They are just DOS programs that use the PAL library (Thank you Gilles Kohl for coordinating the best and the brightest to put it together) to make the GUI easily available.

Therefore a program that > can multitask and takes minimal resources is a great advantage. Without SC, > only one DOS app can be run at a time... :-( I can align myself with much of what you say. I do not want to spend lots of money and would love to see small programs do A LOT. There are some realities in the way. Some good programs cost money, plain and simple, as do good gadgets. If you smoke and wuit, you'll save more in one year than the cost of good programs and a decent palmtop. (I have no idea if you smoke, actually, I just want to put things in perspective...) I also want to set something right: Multitasking does not exist (in practicality) on the palmtop. Multi-tasking vs. Task switching are two terms frequently confused as you did. Task switching means that the operating system stops one program from running (a task) and switches its attention and resources to another program. The first program is simply NOT running, although not dead (terminated). Multitasking means that the operating system watches over what program 1 is doing, and when it makes sense (or based on various other schemes) it "steals the cpu from program 1 and gives it to program 2. And then back to Pgm 1, and then 2 etc. Of course, other programs can participate in this "stealing". Let me contrive an example: ? programs, each running a batch file that just performs DIR command over and over again. Let's say you set up the screen so you have 1/3 devoted to each program. In multi-tasking, you'd see each 1/3 progressing almost all the time (probably slower depending on the machine of course). In task-switching you'd see one of the directories display, then the next, then the next, then back to the first. While the second task was running, task #1 and task #2 were standing still! You can also try this on the palmtop: in Datacomm, try to download something, and as soon as it starts, press Phonebook. The download will stop cold! Maybe even the communications will break. In multi-tasking, the O/S would steal some of the cpu's attention and give it to the download task while phonebook was just waiting for you to type something. So, SC and SysMgr are both task-switchers, not multi-taskers. So that is not an advantage. Secondly, SysMgr takes a ton of memory to run and when you run an EXM inside it, it does not disappear! So the memory available to run tasks under SysMgr is limited, about 300K. SC lets you run much larger programs. It may sound trite, but if you want to program some function in a program you need to use code, and code takes room, and the more funtion there is the more memory it will take. Yes, many programs from that Programming Foundry in the Norht (Redmond, WA) prove the opposite (they take more memory and provide less functionality) but that is an abnormality ... So this is also reality: EXMs are limited to 64K of code space if I am not mistaken. So there is only so much funtion you can jam into this size program, no matter how good and brilliant the programmer is. (I imagine that a 64K program from the North could just start, say Hi, and die ...) You will find utilities and small scale programs implemented as EXMs, but not anything significant such as TCP/IP engine with email, for example. So the advantage of EXMs shrinks - no significant works can be implemented. Then comes the programming of EXMs: Quite complex, and you can code only in C or maybe in Assembler - if you love punishment. And you have to deal with SysMgr crazinesses etc. Programmers don't like to be hemmed in, and EXMs do that to programmers. So EXMs are not supported by many programmers, i.e. not many programs, i.e. EXMs are not an advantage there... Next comes the Menu in AppMgr. It limits you to 32 or 37 icons. Sure you can use AppMgr extenders (available on SUPER from our very gifted brethern in Japan!) but now you run another layer with SysMgr, and that limits you memory even more. So this advantage is shaky, if not fallen. Anyway,... I hope this helps you and other put some framework around that argument of which is "better" EXMs or EXEs.

I'm taking offers for both or individually, starting bids are $100 for the HP 100LX (box and both manuals and inserts), $125 automatically gets it and $20 for cable and link software.

This question got me thinking, having recently played with KEY200 in D:\BIN I tried defining a keyboard remapping entry for Shift Del which deleted the next word to the right and it worked I cannot think of anything else that uses Shift Del but there probably is, in which case the definition may have to change but here is the KEY200 definition for anyone that wants to experiment: Shift Del : Ctrl Shift Right ¬Right ¬Shift ¬Ctrl Del ¬Del For those not familiar with KEY200 there is a help file (KEY200.TXT) in D:\BIN, but all you need to do is to create a text file with the above line in it (KEYDEFS.TXT for example) and then in your AUTOEXEC.BAT add the line: D:\BIN\KEY200 C:\KEYDEFS.TXT (Or whatever filename & path you chose). There is one limitation, you have to release the Shift and Del key after each word is deleted, but a little more work on the key mapping definition may get round this. Anyone got any ideas? It would be better if you could just hold down Shift and press Del for each word to delete. I wonder why I never thought of this before, I've always wanted to delete the next word in Memo.

Ditto on that. Always scary when one's shell account gets hacked.. more so because I'm on hplx.net.

The problem is when you boot from a floppy, and then work on another floppy then sometimes DOS will need command.com and ask you to reinsert the first floppy. On the LX, the built-in DOS is in ROM (even when booting from A), and thus always available, so this problem doesn't occour. If you _really_ want to see the phenomenon (though I cannot imagine why), you can take command.com from a regular DOS distribution, place it on your flash card, and then add the line SHELL=A:\COMMAND.COM to your config.sys, and the line SET COMSPEC=A:\COMMAND.COM to your autoexec.bat Then go reboot, to C: and remove the flash card and sooner or later it should complain about a missing COMMAND..COM. This is how I remember it anyway, but it's been a _long_ time since I worked on a DOS system without a harddrive :-) Cheers, Laust ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 18 Jan 1999 19:20:42 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , mitchell hamm Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: mitchell hamm Subject: FTP to a real palmtop Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii As part of my beta test for Rod Whitby, I have placed a spare palmtop on the local ethernet running his new ftp server.

I'll leave it on for the time being. :-) It's great to see my beta testers giving my programs a thrashing! The FTP server built into LXTELNET currently only accepts one connection at a time, and if it gets two connections, it may or may not lock up. I'm currently looking into supporting up to 30 connections - by setting a very small timeout (i.e. enough time for a single web FTP listing or download) and making subsequent connections wait until the first one has timed out. This means that multiple listings will be effectively able to intersperse, but a download will make all other activity wait. Note that this will take a while to implement ... The next step would be to have multiple connections active (and possibly multiple downloads active) at the same time. This does not seem to be impossible (up to a certain limit of simultaneous connections, soft limited by the number "30" in the program, and hard limited by the memory required to buffer ethernet packets) - but will be yet another major increment in the development. Don't expect this one any time soon. Like Mitch, I would love to see something.palmtop.net be a permanently connected web-accessible (via the FTP protocol) HP200LX machine.

The one on Simtel, as I said, reads DBF, but lacks the quick find and other options in the SUPER version of DBV. Simtel/DBV's only advantage is in being able to do a minimal display of DBF files (as far as I know, there's no practical limit on size), and has only rudimentary search capability. DBF format is more widely supported than GDB.

And I definitely haven't been charading around as someone else! I have always been interested in the debate between people's desire for anonymnity on the internet versus the desire to be known. For example, my ISP doesn't allow finger requests from outside our system, yet I want people to be able to find me! After speaking with the administrators of our ISP, it appears that I'm in the minority. I was also surprised to learn how many women get targeted by weirdos on the internet just because their account name/info identifies them with a female name. Now this twist to the issue - someone intentionally pretending to be not just anonymous, but another person! I guess this debate will go on forever... -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT I want to know if there is any way to give the HP200LX more when 640KB of DOS memory. I know from XT assemblerprogramming, that the 80186 can only address 1MB of memory. The 640KB limit come from historical reason, because conventionally the VGA video memory is inserted at 0xA0000. And 0 to 0xA0000 make 640KB. Because the HP200 has neither got VGA or Hercules graphic facility, theoretically the DOS memory could reache to 0xb8000 (there CGA video memory starts) - that would make 736KB of memory. I know that special assembler programms can make the rest of the 2MB of memory appeare as EMS not only as DISK and that DOS can deal with more than 604KB (for example in XT times there were special memory boards and drivers to expand DOS memory to 736KB if no VGA is installed).

The very reason I had written nether.net into the story, not only because it is local to the actual region where my plot takes place, is that it IS a freenet. One that does not check any new user information, and thus prone to this phenomena. The owner has truly had visits from the FBI, Secret Service and others for people like my villain. I checked all the details of my story very thoroughly, including several interviews with an FBI senior resident, a US attorney and other key people involved in actual investigations upon which the story is based.

I would *really* like to get a copy of this driver, and perhaps arrange to get it posted to SUPER. Anyway, also in the archives is mention of using the command LXSTAT M G0 apparently as a substitute for this CGA driver. I've tried this, and it works to a point. There are some quirks when you try to change from text to graphics screens and back, but for the most part it is functional. PLEASE... whoever has this driver, or knows where I can get/buy a copy, please contact me. Now, I'll contribute some to the body of AutoCAD/Palmtop knowledge... You *can* indeed run AutoCAD without a mouse. My R10 manual has a nifty table, that shows the required keys you need. I'll reproduce it below for all those palmtop-draftsmen wannabes: AutoCAD IBM or Function PS/2 Key ======== ======== CTRL CTRL Flip Screen F1 Menu Cursor INS Screen Cursor HOME Abort Cursor END Fast Cursor PGUP Slow Cursor PGDN Up Cursor UP Down Cursor DN Left Cursor LEFT Right Cursor RIGHT Toggle Coord F6 or CTRL-D Toggle Grid F7 or CTRL-G Toggle Ortho F8 or CTRL-O Toggle Snap F9 or CTRL-B Toggle Tablet F10 or CTRL-T Comment: The Fast/Slow cursor mode seems to have several levels of operation.

That means, the mapping from scan code to ASCII character is defined in this driver. Because the driver knows nothing of the Palmtop's Fn key, it cannot produce the right ASCII characters. But there are two work around: 1 - Use the old ALT-MENU-DECIMAL NUMBER method to enter any key you like. To enter the 'umlaut' ae you have to hold down the ALT and MENU key and then you have to enter 132 on the gray number pad and release the ALT-MENU key. Look at an ASCII table to find all decimal values for the characters you want to enter or use my LXPRO program, which comes with a TSR ASCII table. 2 - You can patch the keyboard driver KEYBOARD.DRV if you know, how to do it.

The good side is being able to present your opinions that could possibly be dangerous to the real you. A common example is discussions among battered women; if their husbands/boy friends found out they could be in real danger. Also expressing opinions in a society where free speech is denied.

Well, the first part is true. SEFLIN has a clearly stated policy regarding abusive activities. However, ISPs (freenet or otherwise) aren't going to terminate an account without receiving complaints.

If you have access to the shell, you can use Qua-lx, I used it for about a year and it worked, you may have to install uqwk on your providers system if it isn't already installed (I had to).

However, I don't have any reason to give his >claims any credit--which is why I posted the question here. Newton supported SRAM cards AND LINIEAR FLASH cards. Almost all the flash cards sold today that are used with handhelds, etc. are ATA flash cards which mimic a hard disk to the operating system they are attached to. LINIEAR FLASH cards are just flash RAM without the ATA interface. To my knowledge the NEWTON is one of a VERY few devices which supported Linear Flash, but the 2mb cards sold by apple were Linear Flash IIRC. A good way to check is if the card itself has a watch battery backup then its a SRAM card, if not its most probably Flash, or Liniear flash. Also FLASH cards require a higher voltage to write than to read so the system has to be setup to support FLASH RAM writes which since FLASH didnt exist when the 95lx came out (I have a 95lx) I doubt it supports FLASH RAM writes, so if it reads it at all it would be read only.

I can't say for sure what he has, but when I had my Newton MP120, I kept a 2MB genuine Newton _SRAM_ card in one slot and my X-Jack in the other.

Not to quibble. but Last I checked the Newton MP100, MP110, MP120, MP130 all only contained ONE Card Slot.

When holding the unit in your hand it had one that was on the side and one on top..... I'm only 30,yrs old and can't remember stuff from 2 years ago . The OMP (Original Message Pad) only had one slot to the best of my memory. I still have my OMP, but it's boxed up and in storage. I'm gonna have to dig it out. The coolest theing about the 110,120,130 was that it had an actual cover that flipped down over the screen, whereas the OMP didn't. I never had a 130, but really wanted on because it had enough 'heap' memory to run the packet driver and web browser on it. I tried it on my 120 but it would always crash. If there are any Newton users on the list (gasp!!) I have here in my hand a copy of PocketCall by Ex Machina for the OMP that I would gladly give to anyone that could make use of it, it's terminal emulation software for the Newton and some of the earlier Casio units. 73 Jeff *=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Jeff Johns W4JEF - AMSAT# 32615 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=* |jeffj@scott.net w4jef@amsat.org | Reserve Patrol Captain | | Satellite: Mir R0MIR-1, AO-27 | Jefferson County Sheriff's Dept| |200LX+BayPac+FT50=Portable Packet| QTH Birmingham, AL USA | *=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-* ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 20 Jan 1999 19:47:14 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jeff Johns Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jeff Johns Subject: Newton Card Slots Hmm.... having just sent a message about my Newton's card slots, I'm beginningto think the other poster was correct that it did have only one slot that was on the side...... but for some reason I remember something that I owned that had a slot on top. somebody please set me straight.....

I have an OMP boxed up in the closet as well. I had a 110 until it was stolen at a gas station (along with my calise case and my drivers license, etc.) and often drooled over the MP130 for its backlight and heap space. The OMP / MP100 had no flip cover and one card slot. The MP110 had a flip cover, more memory and one card slot on the top, and newton OS v1.3 The MP120 was the same as the MP110 but more memory, and first came with newton OS v1.3, then later with newton OS v2.0 The MP130 added more heap space, and a backlight. The MP2000 was the first machine since the MP110 to use a new case and port setup. It included a new High Resolution screen with a great backlight, 2 card slots, and more memory as well as a new version of Newton OS. The MP2100 was an upgraded MP2000 with additional memory, and enough heap space to pretty much eliminate it as a restriction on the system. I believe it had 1mb of Heap space. The Emate was essentially a 4lb notebook running newton OS 2, with a builtin keyboard and wordprocessor for use in an educational setting. I was a newton developer for a bit, although apple screwed all its developers pretty good when it axed the platform. Its wierd, I had a 95lx before the newton, and a 100lx after the newton and it felt like coming home Although i still miss the handwritten note capabilities.

The stylus did go in the top on the 120 and on the side in the OMP. I wonder why no one ever developed a program like Aloha for the LX? Aloha was a email program for the Newt that would allow you to send and receive America Online email, it was pretty slick as was the CIS Retriever which allowed you to send and recieve Compuserve email and to send and recieve posts to various forums. 73 Jeff *=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Jeff Johns W4JEF - AMSAT# 32615 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=* |jeffj@scott.net w4jef@amsat.org | Reserve Patrol Captain | | Satellite: Mir R0MIR-1, AO-27 | Jefferson County Sheriff's Dept| |200LX+BayPac+FT50=Portable Packet| QTH Birmingham, AL USA | *=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-* ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 20 Jan 1999 20:18:04 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jeff Johns Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jeff Johns Subject: Re: Apple Newton 2MB RAM Cards...

Although I'm exteremly adept at typing on the LX, I still think that would be quicker than typing! 73 Jeff *=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Jeff Johns W4JEF - AMSAT# 32615 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=* |jeffj@scott.net w4jef@amsat.org | Reserve Patrol Captain | | Satellite: Mir R0MIR-1, AO-27 | Jefferson County Sheriff's Dept| |200LX+BayPac+FT50=Portable Packet| QTH Birmingham, AL USA | *=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-* ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 20 Jan 1999 21:19:09 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Ball Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Ball Subject: 1 Meg PCMCIA RAM CARDS Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Since I've been asking so many questions, I'd thought I'd try and give a little something back to the list.

I wrote a short letter to the PTP on this subject. I've been able to get the elvis (vi-clone) editor to work fine in this mode. I've had a little trouble getting the two other vi editors I use to work across the serial port (calvin and vim). I think that it should be workable with vim if I played with it some more.

I have it sort-of working, but there are a few oddities that are real showstoppers when it comes to doing any work with it. I'm real curious about the details of the apparent incompatibility of our HP200LX CGA-style screen and AutoCAD's CGA driver. Is this something that's just inherently incompatible, or is it something that could be overcome with a small driver or TSR. Just to update folks, I have it basically running by using the EM87 and LXSTAT utilities. The problem arises whenever AutoCAD tries to place the screen back into text mode to display text, as is common in many of the identification and other commands. Also this messes with any of the HELP features. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

I know a brought this up some time ago, but that didn't lead to any solution: I own a 200LX/2meg for two month now, and I realized very fast that the RAM is just too small. So I got two 4meg 5volt linear flash cards. They don't run, neither when I just plugged the card in and tried to format it, nor after I installed /ms-flash.sys/ and /memcard.exe/. Memcard reports in /Partition Information/ under /Device Information/: /Reserved 4096K/ and thus won't let me create a new partition. /Erase Entire Memory Card/ doesn't help either. Are there any other drivers to use linear flash card, to be precise, an Atmel AT5FC004-20? Help me please!

There was no WWW/LX Plus Version 2 in existence then. You are talking about the time when the 100LX was designed, since the chip was mostly set then, and few items changed on the chip of the 200LX and 700LX... This goes back to 1993 or so. 2. HP then moved their engineering from Corvallis Oregon to Singapore, but the people who did the design did not move with the palmtop, and despite the smartness of the Singapore people, they did other things - Omnibook 100/110/120 and the wonderful WinCE (yuck!) - I guess they haven't got a clue what to do. In fact, there were some very very preliminary discussions about including WWW/LX Plus with the machines (I did not say ROM, guys...) but HP's terms were such that we had to get out of business, lose our shirts, and pay them money to do it. Somehow this did not sit well with me. This died EXTREMELY Early in the discussions.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain We have a Poquet PC here; two were bought years ago for managers to dial in to our All-in-1 service; in fact they came from Digital with the LAP-1 software on SRAM card. This produced a sort of All-in-1 looking interface and in conjunction with some software on the VAX could act as an offline reader. Looking under the hood I found one of the most labyrinthine Kermit scripts I've ever seen - the interface was in fact all a Kermit script using ANSI esacpe sequences to drive the screen, and then it uses All-in-1's hardcopy terminal mode interface. (how I wish Outlook had a good one). The Poquet was tough, has nice big keys, ran on 2 AA's - and had (almost) no software. Sure you could load more but back then SRAMs were $$$, and even then we were getting away from DOS software. It had only 512 (?640) k RAM so was limited. I used it as a portable terminal for connecting to console ports on terminal servers and the like, which it was great for. Laptops at that time were very heavy. Now I use the 2 512k SRAMs that it had in my LX and Toshiba laptop - very handy and the Poquet and all it's manuals are in the cupboard (we have no process for selling or throwing out old equipment!)

I am setting up a dial-up router, and decided to try out my palmtop on it. I loaded up my ethernet packet drivers, and fired up MT (that's part of the WATTCP package). I had first, of course, edited the .CFG file to specify my IP address and the router's IP address as the gateway. So I attempt to telnet to my shell account. The router does what it's supposed to, and starts dialing and establishes a connection. But before the router and ISP could complete negotiations, the MT session gave up and aborted. Is there some way to increase the timeouts, so that the router has enough time to establish a dial up connection?

They have a FREE service for connecting to their cc:mail server, which is also connected to the internet. The only thing is that the phone call is not free, but since you are probably not going to be connected for more than a few minutes, it is no big deal amyway. Using palmtop.com I could send mail to "sponsor@FTEL.NET at Internet" ( quotes only shown for clarity ). The also have a deal that is a one time $60 fee for permanent POP3/SMTP access to your account at palmtop.com. Hope this helps.

The most current version (to my knowledge is 0.6, dosppp06.zip). I was a bit confused as to how to make it work, but read the excellent documentation and it works perfectly after i set it up correctly. A lot of users use the bootp configuration. I do not know what this is other than it is a level 1 (ethernet) emulation that allows some (evil) dos programs to run without hanging the machine. I use only ppp (level 6) programs and have a batch file to dial the ISP and connect. I use pnr and the rest of the excellent free lxtcp package to do my work. I also use mt to telnet as it is the smallest telnet package for dos that i have found. The instructions on setting up the batch file are in the dosppp documentation.

First, I *will* read up on the dosppp documentation. My question regarded the use of my HP with an ethernet card. I was connected to a router, and it is the router that dials the phone, not my HP. I can use MT/wattcp from my office (direct ethernet connection, no dialing involved). This is a new configuration I was trying at my church's network, which I recently inhereted. So far, I have received another tip as well, suggesting I try adding/ adjusting a SOCKDELAY setting in my .cfg file. Will try this and report back.

Let's see... if you are a somewhat adventurous tinkerer...just an idea 1)attach two wires to your adapter outlet (12v!) 2) dip both ends in a bowl with demineralized water 3)slowly add salt, stir a little with a plastic or wooden stick-you never know(although 12v...) 4)If bubbles start appearing at one end only, it must be dc Just an idea, supposing you have no desire to buy high tech stuff, no matter how cheap.

Run setver to set the DOS version on the Pack's install program to 3.0. 4. Reboot to let DOS register the version change. 5. ReStart in MS-DOS mode (steps 4 and 5 combine on my system if I Crtl-Alt-Delete to reboot in item #4). 6. Run Install from the floppy. I had the same problem when I switched from Windows 3.1 to a new machine with a new hard drive. I could not get the Pack to install. The Install program reported disk errors. I found the same problem when I tested it on a number of machines at work (including the 5-1/4" disks). Later it occurred to me that the Install program might be confused by the DOS version. The pack now runs fine in a dos window under Win95.

What is the error message? If he gets "Packed File Corrupt" when he runs INSTALL nothing is wrong with the disk. The program that unpacks the 95LX Connectivity Program was designed in the days of DOS 3. It has a bug that prevents it from running in low memory. This was not a problem in the days of DOS 3, since DOS occupied the low memory space. However, with DOS 5 and beyond, the low memory area is available and the unpacker will not run. The solution is to load a dummy program into low memory first to take up space. DOS 5 had a program called LOADFIX to do this. The user types LOADFIX INSTALL. LOADFIX takes up the first 64K or so and then loads INSTALL. If he doesn't have LOADFIX, just load COMMAND about 5 or 6 times and the multiple copies of COMMAND.COM will take up enough space for INSTALL to run correctly. This is how I loaded the 95LX Con Pack onto my new Win95 machine. Vic On Sat, 23 Jan 1999, Al Kind wrote: > Saw this on the newsgroup, anybody help this guy out?

Russell, If you had access to an oscilloscope, you could easily tell if this is an AC or DC adapter. But, I believe you said you did not have access to such instrumentation. If you can borrow a simple voltmeter (or multimeter) set it on a range that can measure 12V DC and measure the output from your adapter. If the output is AC, your voltmeter will read zero. If it is DC, it will read 12V.

I am still curious about the problem with the screen. It seems that the HP isn't completely CGA compatible in some way. I'm going to research this a little further, perhaps some fo the LX gurus here onthe list can comment. I would like to consider writing a small TSR that would correctly change the screen modes for AutoCAD, so it would be more usable. In the meantime, I find that I can load LXPRO prior to running ACAD. Then when the funky screen happens, I can invoke LXPRO, cycle through the various screen modes, and get back to one that works. I've only started trying this - it seemed to work most of the time, yet once it crashed the system. A second, but slightly related subject - regarding the NOMOUSE driver. I haven't tried this in ACADA yet, but mostly I am veery satisfied with the built-in ACAD keyboard support. I did try it when running some Win3.0 apps recently, and found similarly that in all but one case, I liked the built-in Windows keyboard handler. The one exception was Word for Windows, but alas the NOMOUSE driver didn't work at all in that program! Just my luck, the one program I would want to use NOMOUSE won't accept it. I'm working on a small ACAD drawing this week, and will post any further comments on ACAD on/LX as appropriate. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

The Go to end does read the entire file though, but it is quick. I have used it to view megabyte sized files. There is a limit on the total size of the file, I want to say that it is about 16MB, but don't quote me. I'm sure that this is available on some of the archives. The older versions are smaller and probably more suited to the HP200 if you can find them. -Bryan "R.

We've got to know this or else we'll get another "my editor can do all this..." thread again. I know you use the vi editor, and Calvin does a passably good job for me, even for 1-2 mb files, since it writes data to temp storage. It can handle files too big even for VIM. (There....my self-fulfilling prophecy ). The downside is that the read/write is done, however fast...and if you're strapped for temporary disk space then big files can bite you. Another poster suggested Buerg's LIST program, which I also use. I use an older version (6.2a, circa 1987) that's only 8k. But as that poster also noted, I think the end-of-file operation does amount to a whole file read. - Longden "R.

Hmmm... the viewer built into StereoShell should fit part of your requirements. There were a couple of suggestions of V. Buerg's LIST. I have a late version of LIST that is about 25K. Did a quick comparison between the STS viewer and LIST, and was surprised to find STS about twice as fast. STS took ~2 seconds to go to the end of a 180K file. LIST took around 4 sec.

Key points 1.) Email Sync-er on Palmtop is universal for all 200LX 2.) Email Sync-er on PC is platform independent, meaning it's open-source, so anyone can make a port of it to anything, even make a sync-ing module for any email program. The Flowchart is as follows; I am influenced by the Bluewave Offline mail reader (from the days of BBSes) - PC Portion PC recieves email -> new email is in Inbox -> Email Sync-er indexes the messages on PC, packs all unread/unreplied mails in Inbox and updated Drafts from Drafts folder (available in PMMail 98 or PMMail/2, www.southsoft.com) -> Email Sync-er then prepares the index (.idx) file for package -> Zip package of Emails and index file is generated and put into program ready to send by email (maybe then a macro for the Email program on the Palmtop can unzip the item?) or serial transfer. - PC linked to Palmtop Portion Palmtop is linked to PC -> Link established by Email Sync-er -> Palmtop Email Sync-er uploads packet to PC -> PC uploads new email package to Palmtop -> PC checks for the replies (.rpl), drafts (.dfs) and read status file (.sta) within the Palmtop upload package, and updates the emails within the PC, such as if HPLX digest was not read on the PC (thus status unread), but downloaded to the Palmtop, and was read and a reply was posted (meaning status read, reply made), the Sync-er will obtain the reply from the package, put it into the Sent mail folder on the PC, adjust the HPLX digest status on the PC as read (or maybe deleted?) Palmtop portion Palmtop Email Sync-er will look into the package -> Unzip and put the emails in the respective directories. In Goin' Postal, it would be SInbox (SyncInbox), in Post/LX it would be a seperate folder with it's own name, perhaps Sync Inbox - Office, and Sync Inbox - Home emails for multiple accounts. -> Hooks would have to be introduced, or maybe just an understanding of how the messages are indexed within the programs to let the Sync-er know what is going on. Maybe a TSR version? -> When the program is exited, everything would be as normal. -> If Sync-er is program, and emails from the Email program is deleted, means the sync-er wouldn't capture it, perhaps TSR version can do the complete monitoring. -> Sync-er would execute, from SysManager as Icon -> Sync-ing can be done as "prepare sync file, then link" or "prepare sync file" for preparation to link to the PC. Ideas anyone? This is, I think, the most solid flowchart I can think of instead of listening to vapourware ideas. (Anyone remembers ALL the backlighting projects in progress which never seem to appear?) All we need is some programmers. I would be glad to help if someone can coach me a little on programming. I just gotten Multimail for OS/2 source code, so if that is useful, then maybe. Since the PalmPilot has the email sync-er IN-BUILT, I really figure that the 200LX would REALLY, REALLY need one; I for one have about 30 emails I haven't cleared for the past 1 month.... and it's growing... Hope that the LX community can make this a reality! ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 01:38:16 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Laust Brock-Nannestad Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Laust Brock-Nannestad Subject: Re: Still can't get files In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Mon, 25 Jan 1999, Jeff wrote: > I logged onto the palmtop server again and issued a dir command and let > it sit for a few minutes but still can't get it to give me a directory > listing.

Please don't flame me, but as we've discussed here before, editors can be quite personal thing. I use one of the vi-clones 99% of the time, as that's what I'm most comfortable with.

I actually find that PE's start-up time is somewhat slow at times. No, no _that_ slow, but still slow enough to annoy me when I just need to alter something in my autoexec.bat ;-) I've seen faster starting editors (some of those 4kb ones), but they obviously don't have the same amount of features, so I'd rather use PE. Of course, I might be able to regain a little speed by decompressing the DIETed .exe file, and thus save the decompression at start-up and the expense of a little diskspace, but I haven't tried this yet...

So far, they all draw too much current to work in the 200LX. I know that the one from Viking does not. Neither does Viking's low power WinCE version of the 56K modem. Actually, I should say that I know these modems "work" in the 200LX, but I expect that they will burn it out if used for too long. Viking's 33.6 modem works fine in the palmtop since it draws only 144 ma. 3COM's 56K PC Card modem specs indicate it needs too much power. EXP makes a PC Card modem with an external 2xAA battery pack that should work in the 200LX. With the battery pack, the modem draws very little power from the palmtop, so this is a great thing. But the downside is the battery pack. When you use the EXP card in something other than the 200LX, you can leave the battery pack off. I am still checking into the Simple and other cards. I don't have my notes here, though.

You need to use the HP serial cable, and it is already wired just like the Laplink cable. Meaning that it is a null modem and designed to plug directly into a PC's serial port. So, if you use the HP serial cable, then plug it right into the PC and DON'T use the LapLink cable also. This is because the LapLink cable is a null modem also and will reverse (and screw up) the null modem already in the HP serial cable. If the HP serial cable is too short for you, then use a serial extension cable.

Just curious here.... what is the limiting factor of this current limit for the PCMCIA port? Is is a component in the power supply regulator, circuit board traces, PCMCIA connector pins, etc... If, for example, it is a circuit board trace, I could envision a way to work around this obstacle, assuming there is room in the case for a parallel jumper wire capable of carrying the desired current. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

Sorry, Mitch (and others), Because I don't do Windows(R) I naively assumed that the Win95/98 command line function acted as a DOS emulator, and that programs written for it would also work from the DOS command line.

Christopher Lott" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "R. Christopher Lott" Subject: Battery Drain Help Content-Type: text I was using my trusty palmtop this morning in the following manner. First, I had a reasonably fresh pair of batteries. With the unit off, I unplugged my flash card, and inserted my ethernet card. I also inserted the wall adaptor into the unit. I then turned it on, loaded my various drivers, and accessed my company Novell network. Copied a file just fine. Then I went to another building to meet with some collegues, and left my palmtop turned on. It was on the adaptor, and I wasn't worried about it. But when I got back about an hour later, the thing was off - really off! I couldn't turn it on, or even re-boot it! I unplugged the ethernet card, re-inserted the flash, and tried to reboot. But it kept turning itself right back off. Finally, one time it came on long enough to tell me that my main batteries were VERY low. I immediately replaced them, and it's working fine. What bothers me is that I might be using battery current with the ethernet card plugged in, even though I'm using an adaptor. Can anyone explain this to me? -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

Hello all, Question zero: Anyone found that PDF to PCX converter that should reside on GARBO FTP? If that program works on the LX, it's a good companion of LxPic! (And finally I can get some real world PCXes of 10.000x10.000 pixels size, must be a pain to decode PDF-> PCX) ÝBTW, If you have problem or IDEAS about LxPic, just post it here! Observe the symptoms and carefully detail them, the more info you give, the better. Programs don't just doesn't work, they don't work in a specific way; that's what we need to know. Stefan moni- tors the list or users can advice in a simpler case. Not to mention that if a lot of people cry out for MPEG I-frame, PNG support, runtime version loud enough; we might get an upgrade. The last LxPic v6.1 release is over 6 mo. old! I think the problem w/ that single 8MB/DS unit is hardware or DS driver related, as LxPic video detect had been refined repeatedly¨ Question one: Is it possible to use TWO parallel port PCMCIA cards (TransPC or the other brand) in a HPLX w/ DoubleShot? Have you ever used a hardware "dongle" (copy protection key) with your 200LX? (Either serial or parallel port version, or maybe a custom PCMCIA flash card with built-in dongle) ÝI think, that TWO parallel cards should not be possible on the HPLX, as the most you can get from one PCMCIA socket is a single IRQ; but would prefer some first-hand experience.¨ Question two: Have you thought into this tiny 486 webserver? Let's calculate: 0.8watts @ 5volt is 0.16 Amper. If we use 5pcs size AA rech., then they will last (1350mAh Mack type) only about 8hrs. If it sucks 2watts, than autonomous life is further resticted to a mere 3h 20min. No match for the 200LX. Those who upgraded to DS and 32/64MB, stated that anything less then 12hrs of batt. life is unacceptable for useful palmtop. So it's out! Not to mention that the below described computer will look bulky with 5pcs AA batts and add the LCD, keyboard, too. BTW, it's an SX, so no FPU! (Needed for real work) I think that a solution would be using an Weitek or i860/960 based PCMCIA "numeric slave" card, that also has some flashdisk space on board. Once I've heard of an i960 based device, but can't recall.

I've had to clean the power contacts on both my old 100LX and the adapter because it wasn't making contact when plugged in. Before cleaning, checking BUDDY or LXSTAT showed the palmtop was running on batteries even though the adapter was hooked up. After cleaning, everything worked fine again.

Good question. I wondered this myself. I unplugged the adaptor, and plugged it in again (after I was able to get it to reboot). I fired up LXPRO, and it told me that the unit was running off the adaptor. This tells me that the adaptor at least works, but your point about dirty contacts is well taken. I'll never know about this incident, as maybe my unplugging and re-plugging may have wiped any slight buildup away... -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

There are exactly three (3) people I can find in the whole world who have ever used a 56K modem in a HP200LX. Two of them use one card, and the other uses a different card. I'm still hoping to hear from others who have used a 56K card in a HP200LX. Here's the current status: First-hand confirmation of 56K modems that work in a HP200LX ============================================================ 1/ Smart Modular (Apex Data) 56K PCMCIA Modem (ST5614DFNAMSR) Robert Hocking used this card in a HP200LX for six months. Tom Boyles (a Technical Support Engineer for Apex Data, and a long time LX'er) told him that APEX's 56K modem draws 150mA and their 33.6K modem draws 138mA. I have corresponded with Tom, and he has confirmed that he personally has also used the 56K modem in the HP200LX on batteries. He confirmed the 138mA figure for the 33.6K modem, and said the 56K modem's power consumption is similar to that of the 33.6K card. He cautions that neither card is 'officially' released by SMART Modular Technologies as a modem card for the 100LX/200LX so you should use them at your own risk. This card is listed on shopper.com with a price range of $91 to $120. 2/ Diamond Supra 56K PCMCIA Modem Brian Sugita uses this card in his HP200LX. Unfortunately, he has been unable to positively identify his card as being a XPR56KPC-XL1 (although I am still trying to confirm this with him). This card is listed on shopper.com with a price range of $142 to $150. Second-hand reports of 56K modems that work in a HP200LX ======================================================== None. Rumours of 56K modems that work in a HP200LX ============================================= 1/ Simple Technology 56K PCMCIA Modem (STI-FAX/56SJ) Bill Childers heard a rumour that the 56K Communicator by SimpleTech will work. He is trying to contact SimpleTech to confirm this. There has been no first or second-hand confirmation of this rumour. Email to support@simpletech.com has not been answered. Manufacturers of 56K modems that specify compatibility with the HP200LX ======================================================================= 1/ Viking Components 56K PCMCIA Modem (WinCE version) (RFM56KPWINCE) Viking's web site says that this card is "Designed for Windows CE machines" and is "100% compatible with the HP LX200" (sic). An email to Viking support drew the following response: "Our card draws 175ma when in use. It is compatible with the HP and all Windows CE 2.0 palm-PC's. We suggest only using it when attached to an external a/c power supply." So they haven't got clue about compatibility with the HP200LX. Manufacturers of 56K modems that specify less than 150mA ======================================================== 1/ Hayes Optima 56K PCMCIA Modem (08-03050) Hayes specify a power requirement of 131mA @ 5V online, 6mA @ 5V standby on their web site. As Hayes have just gone out of business, this is probably not a good buy. This card is listed on shopper.com with a price range of $115 to $138. Fall-back position ================== If all else fails, I will be buying a SimpleTech 33.6K (STI-FAX/33.6SJ) from firstsource.com for $100. Everyone on the list seems to have this card, with a reported current draw of 138mA. -- 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@hplx.net -- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 16:07:29 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Hal Goldstein Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Hal Goldstein Subject: Re: What English Dictionaries are available?

Being subscribed to the digest version has its problems... IIRC, the Rio plugs into a parallel port, making this even more difficult. But not impossible. I believe that there is a number of PCMCIA parallel port cards out there - I just haven't looked for any of them. As for the program only being available for Windows, good news. Someone has also release a linux version. Linux code tends to be very portable, so one avenue would be to port the Linux code to DOS... Probably easier than porting the Windows code... Of course... then you have to deal with even _slower_ download speeds on the 200LX... Anyway, just another active spectator or perhaps armchair quarterback.. or maybe even just a back seat driver.

Sorry, Mitch (and others), Because I don't do Windows(R) I naively assumed that the Win95/98 command line function acted as a DOS emulator, and that programs written for it would also work from the DOS command line. Mea culpa! But with any luck, you have convinced the author to convert it to a DOS version. Please keep us posted!

Take heart! The speed upgrade (at least the Times2Tech one that I use) is as nearly bullet proof as anything I have ever used. I have NEVER had a problem related to speed change. As long as you have something to reload the driver from if something else not only crashes you, but also wipes out your memory, you will never see a problem.

Basically, LXMDRV.SYS is an extension to the operating system which makes the storage part of the EXP card visible as an F: drive. If the F: drive is already used (by the RAM driver), then the EXP takes the next drive name, G:. will be taken automatically. The sequence of which name is taken first depends on which driver you load first in the CONFIG.SYS. The assignment happens automatically, so if you cannot see your EXP drive as G: then something is faulty in the CONFIG.SYS. My recommendation for that driver (the EXP driver) is differnet from the one EXP creates, I recommend this: DEVICE=a:\lxmdrv.sys They copy that file to a subdirectory on C: and use it from there, but this presents a major pain when your C: drive suddenly becomes F: or G: or whatever, so I simply pick up the driver from the original, namely the non-volatile part of EXP, also known as A: drive.

Typically the file you are talking about is /usr/dict/words and there is also a command "look" that lets you do the equivalent of a grep.

Sorry for the confusion, but yes, that email is generated automatically by a perl script and sometimes it gets a bit confused.

Before I explore that statement too much further, I'd better explain what's going on. Until December 31, I was signed up for a service (for the past two years) with RadioMail. I have a 3Com Allpoints card that I can put in the 200LX and, by running the RadioMail client software, I can receive e-mail most anywhere right to the palmtop. I used this because I'm the system administrator for a plumbing and air conditioning service company and I also attend school at the local university. When I'm at school, if there's a problem, they need a way to contact me. Paging and cell phone are out because A) it would create some disturbance in the classroom, B) there would be no way for me to respond instantly to a page and no realistic way to take a cell phone call in the middle of a class, and C) for a pager, I would have to find a phone to call them back... no easy task. So wireless e-mail is ideal: I can receive mail at my desk without disturbing anybody, and type in detailed instructions on how to fix whatever problems they're having. (Interestingly, e-mail almost never goes out, because it's on a Linux machine; file services off of the NetWare and Windows boxes are continually going down, however.) Because it would allow handy communication, we decided wireless e-mail was the best way to go, and it has served quite well for the past two years. It was pretty limited on the amount of data or the number of messages you could send and receive each month, but that was fine. I heard about services that allowed you to run web browsers and e-mail applications on the Allpoints for wireless 9600bps access almost anywhere in any major city in the US (with no roaming charges and no charges for time) but I didn't need any of that. It was fine the way it was. Okay, I admit, if = I really believed I could have gotten unlimited web and e-mail access for the same price ($59.95 a month) I would have gone for it in a second... but I was skeptical, so I figured "Don't make waves." Things were doing well the way they were. Unfortunately, as of December 31, 1998, RadioMail discontinued their traditional e-mail service, essentially just cutting me off. (And = without informing me, I might add. But that's a separate issue.) Well, no problem, I thought-- I'd been meaning to switch over to WyndMail anyway, because they offer four times the number of messages per month for the same price. So I called them up, and... they've discontinued WyndMail = and moved everything over to their new WyndTell handheld pager. Well, great. Now I'm stuck with NO wireless e-mail service at all. "BUT WAIT," they tell me. "If you really need to use your stupid ol' Allpoints card, contact GoAmerica at www.goamerica.net. They still provide service." Okay, fine. Go America, incidentally, is the company that bought out the Zap-It wireless mail service provider in July. So I visit their web site, and it's great! They offer a plan for $59.95 with UNLIMITED data per month (not the 100K-or-100-messages per month plan of RadioMail, or the 400K-per-month plan of WyndMail, both also $59.95 per month). In addition, GoAmerica also lets you do web browsing, and they do support the Allpoints card. Great! This was going to be fine. UNFORTUNATELY... in order to use their service, you have to have a = Windows CE device, or a Win95/98 laptop. No exceptions. No room for discussion. They only support "new" machines. --- end of forwarded message --- ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1999 12:41:08 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Al Kind Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Al Kind Subject: Fwd: Wireless.. and RANT: Windows CE and the Global Conspiracy Part 2 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable --- begin of forwarded message --- *** And if, by some miracle, all of my needs CAN be met by Windows CE programs... can I fit them all on the machine at the same time?

All of my short stories, school reports, and partially-completed novels have been written on the 200LX since I started using it over four years ago. What would I have gotten done with Windows CE?

The fearsome task for which I need a massive RISC CPU and a pocket-splitting size size is... e-mail. Sending and receiving simple, ASCII messages. Small ones, too. Nothing big. Nothing fancy. Just enough to avoid infuriating my boss and forcing me to choose between school and my job. So today I went to look for a Windows CE machine, kicking myself all the way, and what did I find? Nothing. Well, that's not entirely accurate. What I found was: 1) A whole lot of Palm"PC" devices designed to compete with the PalmPilot. No keyboard. Extremely expensive toys. 2) Quite a few 660LX palmtops for $900. WAY out of my price range, and way too bulky. 3) A 620LX on clearance for $588. Still WAY out of my price range. 4) A fair number of Jornada 800 series machines. I won't even comment. So, after all this, nobody even sells a regular Windows CE machine anymore. It's either a hulking behemoth (Jornada), a massively overpriced slightly-less-hulking behemoth (620/660LX), or a ridiculously overpriced GameBoy ripoff (Palm"PC" machines). Do they actually sell these things? Who BUYS them? This has gone on a lot longer than I originally planned, and I fear that it will be rejected by Al's line-length filters (and, since this message was rejected, I'd say I had reason to fear), so I'd better wrap it up. = Let me just say: What is wrong with the world?

Okay. I think I'm done. If anybody knows of any wireless e-mail solutions that can be done with the Allpoints card, the 200LX, any combination of the two, or any other wireless solution for the 200LX that doesn't involve a cellular phone, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Sadly, Ricochet is not available in the Las Vegas area, and "they have no plans to make it available." With GoAmerica service, the Allpoints should be close to the functionality of Ricochet, except a little slower (and probably fewer services). But it covers 93% of the urban population of the US, which is nice. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1999 13:00:53 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Wireless service (extract) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII If anybody knows of any wireless e-mail solutions that can be done with the Allpoints card, the 200LX, any combination of the two, or any other wireless solution for the 200LX that doesn't involve a cellular phone, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

It seems he does have an AC adapter and it also seems that it works with his 100/200LX. I have no idea why this works (except the protection diode theory sounds plausible) and I certainly DO NOT recommend using an AC adapter with a 100LX or 200LX.

They don't want to spend time and money supporting a very small audience, especially one that is viewed as obsolete. I am sure they support all the latest systems but you want to use a system that commercially is quite out of date and not supported by most companies any longer, with the fine exceptions represented on this list. What would be nice is if they would give you enough information to use preexisting software for your purposes, on the condition that you didn't demand that they actively support your unusual setup. Odds are that they are using standard protocols and something could be easily adapted to work but they don't want to even bother to try and be helpful. For the record this is the exact same problem you face with any system that is not mainstream. Try talking to your average ISP about connecting an Amiga machine or even a Linux box in many cases and they will look at you like you have three eyes and tenticles sprouting from your forehead.

Hi Russ, What I do is mark the files that I want to delete with the space key after I'v read them. Then after I'm done , I then use Shift+Del and select marked. Or you can mark the ones that you want to keep and then select unmarked to delete. I use the unmarked to delete for my saved news, HTH Regards, Qman...

I am not sure what you mean by "delete protect flag" - what is it? AFAIK, you cannot protect emails from deletion. What happens when you delete a message is that it is _marked_ for deletion. You can set to manual packing instead of autopacking (packs out deleted messages each time you quit the program). Once a message is packed it will be really gone. Messages that are only _marked_ for deletion do not show in the message list, but can be undeleted. > I get to deleting a bunch of mail and end up deleting 1 too > many. Ctrl-U will un-delete ALL of them but then I have go and > delete most of them again.

Well, all the undeleted messages are marked with a diamond character, so you can find the ones you want to preserve, press space bar or m (and their diamond will disappear) then Shift-Del and choose marked. That will delete again the ones that remained marked, i.e. were just recently undeleted. Avi M.

(G) Well I composed the following email to David but mistyped his address so I will just post it here for all to see. David, As a solution to your problem consider a vibrating cellphone with data/fax capability. If you sign up to a GSM provider you get SMS, voice mail boxes, caller id etc. as part of the basic service($20/month with 100 minutes airtime in my case). Data/fax usually costs extra ($5 a month for me). In class the phone is set to vibrate. They have a problem, type it up in email, send it to you and then call you on the cell phone - you glance at phone see the work no. on screen thanks to caller Id. Don't even answer the call just let it expire and then collect an email message from them via the cellular data connection, compose reply and transmit. Alternatively they could notify you via SMS. Or perhaps the best method would be direct data transfer of the problem as data. When data/fax is enabled on a GSM connection you are given a seperate phone number for data only. The company could call this number, the phone would vibrate, you would see the call identified as data, whip out the cable and make a connection between palmtop and phone, fire up datacomm and have a two way conversation with the person communicating the problem or just receive a file containing an outline of the problem, go offline, compose reply and transmit direct to the company (either via ISP or direct dialup modem).

Folks, At the moment, the problem with accessing Mitch's server seems to be something weird with his network (at least something different enough from the two external places I've tested connecting to my home network that they program doesn't handle that situation). The detail is that the FTP server on the palmtop is not creating the data connection back to the remote client. We haven't yet worked out why it is not doing that. The program will no longer hang, but just dump you off if you try any commands which need a separate data connection (which is all the useful commands).

Software in Development Source: News Submission, Boris Alcaraz Selections & Functions Ltd., who have now taken over the development of Framework, a PC based application, have published details of a Psion compatible version that will synchronise and share files with a desktop equivalent. Framework, which was first developed by Ashton-Tate and later taken over by Borland is a personal productivity suite that "brings together word processing, spreadsheet, data management, code-less hypertext, text-based interpreter, and rapid development computer language in a context-based, highly-consistent, object-driven user interface." Whilst Framework will work under Windows 95/98 and NT, it retains its independence as a DOS application. This enables it to benefit from speed advantages. The most current versions are V and VI although files are compatible amongst ALL versions that have been released to date. "While adjusted to run under Windows, Framework is compatible with virtually all DOS versions. Versions of Framework with the same file format can run on XT, 286, 386, as well as various hand held computers and the HP 200LX palmtop. Framework files are transparently compatible between versions III, IV, V and VI. Files created with older versions can be transparently loaded into newer versions. In a mixed environment, say, of a palmtop machine running Framework IV or Framework V LX, exchanging files with a Windows 95 machine running Framework VI, the older version can load the newer version files, ignoring, and at the same time preserving newer version's attributes such as colors and proportional fonts." A customised version has been developed that works on handheld machines, such as the HP 200LX and Psion Series 5. "While the Psion version is new, it is running on a beta version of a DOS emulator, it is seems to provide an overall better solution than the HP 200LX. The Psion machine's screen is larger and is a back lighted, making the machine more useful since Framework display 25 lines (CGA graphics) on both machines. The Psion uses a touch screen to emulate all 12 function keys making it easier to interface with Framework. The Psion speed is about the same as the fastest version of the 200LX. There is also a possibility that 200LX software can run on the Psion albeit details are too fresh. Framework files and applications can be shared between the Psion and Framework VI running on any Windows based desktop making it easy to synchronise, update and share data with desktop machines." As an application suite, Framework offers file management, outlining, word processing, hypertext development, spreadsheets, databases, graphics, email and so forth. The most useful aspect of the program, however, is the ability to offer an alternative method of desktop connectivity. Whilst PsiWin is evolving into a powerful product, many users still find it difficult or to "shallow" for their requirements. The development of Framework may well offer a useful alternative for some users. Framework is available in a number of languages, details of which can be found on their web site. http://www.fred.com/ >> ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 05:46:23 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , cwbrad@IBM.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "C.W.

With the flash card in you should have at least drives A:, C:, and D: A: represents the flash card, C: represents the RAM, and D: is your ROM. Your default autoexec.bat and config.sys are on the ROM in the root directory. If you copy those two files to the root directory on C: the unit will use those to boot up with. By modifying these files on C: you can remove the line near the bottom of the autoexec.bat that should just say "100". This is the command that calls the system manager. By deleting this like you will be able to run straight DOS. As far as bailing you out. The system allows you to pick which drive you want to boot from, so if you mess something up. You can always boot from the ROM and then go back and edit things on drive C:. Finally, you can get very close to 640K DOS memory out of the 100LX. Put most of your programs on your flash card or drive A: and finally you might look into using a program called MaxDOS. It is available on SUPER and allows programs to swap to the flash card, basically eliminating the possible memory constraints. :) I hope this helps!

Well, I've got a spare 2M 1x 200LX, but only a standard modem card (Megahertz XJ2144). I don't suppose that could be set up to suit? At work we have a network of several dozen Windows boxes running Netware and connected to the Internet (I'm not sure exactly how).

Yes, you can do it via the comms software, but there are other (and IMO better) ways too. There is a neat little file transfer program on SUPER (www.palmtop.net) called ZIP that allows very fast and easy transfers.

With Maxdos I'm able to run all of the accessories that came with Win30 plus Word and Excel. also make sure that you have "set temp=a:\temp" file set in you autoexec.bat since you have a 1MB unit I guess you have Win30 installed on a flash card.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I figured out a really easy way to do a fast-locate by date fields. For those who didn't follow the previous discussion, the idea is that if you have a database with a "Date" field, you should be able to do a fast-locate on it to find a record quickly. (Fast locate being when you open the database and start typing and it finds the record.) Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work with date fields-- only with text fields. The way to get it to work with date fields is: add a blank text field to the database, and leave it blank (I called mine Datesort.) Then do a "Sort" and sort by Datesort as the first field, and your actual date field (Mine's called "Title") second. Now, assuming the date field (again, "Title" in mine) is the first column in the regular display, you can fast locate by typing things like "01-29-98" for Jan. 29, 1998, assuming your machine is set up to display dates that way. If you're configured to display them as "99-01-29" you have to search by typing "99-01-29." But I'm sure you all get the idea. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 13:23:20 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Pete Rissler Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Pete Rissler Subject: WWWLX: How to download list of newsgroups?

I don't know the electronics that does this, but the limit is caused by the power supply and voltage conversion circuits. They have to convert the variable 2.4 - 3.2 volts from the batteries to the regulated 5 volts that the slot gets. While the AC adapter is connected to the palmtop, the batteries are not used, but the same power conversion circuits are used to make the 5 volts for the slot. This is why the 150 ma limit still applies even when on external power. Sometimes, more current can be provided to the slot, but it is putting a strain on the circuits, causing a lot of heat, and will most likely burn something out after a while.

That's the way I first tried it too... thanks to Russell Hemery, who came up with it. The trouble is, I have an existing database of 522 records that's about 400K, and it would really be painful to go through each one and copy and paste to the textual date field. > (Although I think my method is a little faster in performing a speed > locate.) You're right-- doing it the other way is a bit faster. It's probably worth the time savings for me, anyway, of not changing my 522 records. > I'll substitute your way for mine with all due credit ("courtesy of > David Sargeant, international computer columnist.") You might want to point out, as Quinton Jones mentioned, that you can make the text field the last one in the database, and even put it on another screen (PgDn) so you don't ever have to see it. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 15:50:24 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Brian Sugita Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Brian Sugita Subject: Re: Framework for Psion 5 and HP200LX Comments: To: Longden_Loo@CANDLE.COM In-Reply-To: <88256707.00556A97.00@candle.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I don't have one, but I have been checking them out and playing around with a friends.

I take it that for regular ftp sessions, the server has a rather agressive time-out? (so that one person cannot hog the machine for too long without doing anything) Also, I saw the index.html file (via Netscape). I can see that my comment is the "least impressed", merely stating that it works :-) This was not my intention, it _is_ impressive! Could I using this software hook my LX up to the net via a normal modem dial-up connection or does this require a ethernet card and another machine as a gateway? Are you going to port Apache too? ;-) There aren't too many DOS web-servers I know of. One is called Jaffa and more info about it can be found at: http://www.rowan.sensation.net.au/programs.html It's written in MoonRock, a BASIC like language, and with a good deal of assembler, I imagine, judging from the author's other programs.

There is only 1 current PCMCIA card that I am aware of that doesn't work on the speed upgraded palmtop and that is the Silicom Ethernet card. There are actually 2 other Ethernet cards that are cheaper and work perfectly on a speed upgraded machine. The driver has a built in software slow down routine that can be accelerated and slowed down with a key stroke for speed sensitive software such as games, which is the only example to come to mind, and there are very few of those that need slowing down. The speed upgrade doesn't cause any more crashes or RAM disk wipes than a nonspeed upgraded machine. It is just as stable a machine in other words and members on the list can attest to that. If it isn't too your liking in any way it is also completely reversible.

I don't know where you've heard this, but allow me to set the record straight (assuming Mack hasn't already ). There is one network card that the does not work with the double speed upgrade. That is the Silicom Ethernet Card. Frankly, I think it's extremely poor design on the part of the Silicom engineers, and in no way the fault of the speed upgrade. The doubleslot adapter had issues with the double speed, but there is a driver to correct it. Time sensitive software will not run too fast with the speed upgrade, if you get it done by Times2 Tech or Thaddeus (same upgrade; Thaddeus is a T2T dealer). The crystal they sell is specialized and EXACTLY twice the speed of the built-in crystal. Other, cheaper speed upgrades have been done, but it's more difficult to keep them calibrated, since they're not exactly 2x upgrades. A T2T upgrade won't disrupt your machine in any way with the driver loaded. In fact, the new version of the driver offers many features that make the palmtop BETTER than it is without it. For example, you can turn off the CARD BATTERY LOW -- PRESS ESC message that network cards trigger. (Since you want to do networking, this will be a great feature.) Crashes that wipe the RAM disk occur no more frequently with the speed upgrade than without. (And, in fact, crashes that wipe the RAM disk are almost entirely nonexistent with a 32MB or 64MB upgrade... even dead batteries can't kill those things! But that's another story.) Unless there is something physically wrong with the palmtop, I find that the only thing (generally) that wipes the memory is taxing the power circuitry; i.e. sticking a 56K modem in and leaving it there for a half-hour. The speed upgrade is perfectly harmless in this regard. If you want to make good use of the 200LX, I can't say enough about the speed upgrade. If I could only choose one upgrade for my palmtop, it would definitely be the new crystal. Once you've used it, using a non-upgraded palmtop is pure torture. It helps you type faster, calculate faster, and even do network and modem i/o faster. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask me here, or via personal mail, or to visit my web site (www.hplx.net). I've got lots of good stuff there. (I hope. ) ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 19:24:36 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Mr. Hector" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Mr. Hector" Subject: flashcard doesn't work - help!

Today I had a customer from Spain tell me that his ISP told him that the phone co in Spain just upgraded to 32 bit and therefore can no longer support his machine, but they, the ISP could! I almost cried of frustration! Talk about MORONS!!! I told enough to the customer to be able to corner the idiot ISP and hang them on their own idiocy... I hope he does. I believe there, the case is exactly that: They now use CHAP and for some reason, people who do not have all the connections in their brains, think that you MUST have a 32 bit chip to calculate the CHAP key! Yuck! I used to think brainlessness was an American trait, but I see it is spreading. Looks like Microsoft is sucking all the braains globally! :( ... Avi M.

Sounds like it draws WAY too much power. The palmtop can safely supply 150mA max at 5V to the PCMCIA device - that's .75 watt. Even the typical power draw for RJ45 use is a little too high. -Peniel ------------ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1999 09:39:19 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Mitchell Hamm (N8XS)" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Mitchell Hamm (N8XS)" Subject: Re: ftp server now running Comments: To: David L Sprinkle In-Reply-To: ; from David L Sprinkle on Fri, Jan 29, 1999 at 09:15:37AM -0500 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii 'm glad to see that some are getting through, but it is far from robust at this point.

I never tryed "Getting a list of Newsgroups" with POST/LX 2.0. The last time I did it was with POST/LX 1.0 Hey what can I say . I guess its no longer an opinion under 2.0. But if you still have POST/LX 1.0 available re-stall get the list and remove it. BTW: I ran both 1.0 and 2.0 on my palmtop for months, just loved that ÝPrint¨ opinion under 1.0. Anyway I finally got over the print thing after I installed PalEdit as an External Program under 2.0. Now I Export, External, PalEdit and print. (:-) Regards, Qman...

Hello all, For the virus scanner on 200LX topic: Dr Solomon periodically released the latest Findviru engines (both 8086 and 386) for free "trial use" and that was great for running right on LX. However, the last stated itself dated on 1998 dec. 15 and no newer thing up on their website since. Do you have a clue? ÝBTW this scanner will be slow on 8MHz LX¨ Do you know of a site that offers public Lynx (text mode Web browser for Unix, VMS, or 386+Dos) access via telnet? There were a few a while back; but right now, there is only one, which runs the really annoying and barebone LINE MODE browser. I'd be damn happy with Lynx, no need for graphics. Just tried online PDF->HTML converter at and it worked even on such a large file as 200LX users' guide at . Saved as text it ended up 670kb vs. the 2000MB big PDF file. BTW, great thanks for scanning! About the FTPlx server: it could be really useful, when used with a GSM or radio based wireless link or similar device, so merits of the truly mobile LX setup are clearly visible. But if you want real multitask, you'd better look for another OS.

As previously mentioned, you are probably best off by scanning your files on the desktop, but it is possible to run McAfee(now Network Associates) VirusScan for DOS.

So there is a lot of traffic coming in which is all unnecessary and unused. We experienced it with HV. In some places HV starts up, then waits for almost a minute, before you get any control over the machine. Throughout the time, the modem lights were blinnking furiously. Eventually we identified the garbage as various Microsoft packets of whatever, just not TCP/IP. They need to do a lot of work to get their quality up. But of course, the people don't give a hoot, mostly because they have no idea that life can be cleaner without programming garbage, so no one demands it anymore. But it should be demanded - people pay a lot of money to get this junk. Avi M.

After freating all the way home, I found out that the original 2mb RAM had been lost, but the 32mb RAM was all still there! I can wholeheartedly recommend the T2T upgrades to anyone who has a bit of spare currency burning a hole in their pocket. The only negative to the memory upgrade is realising that you have so much memory that you can go a lot longer without backing up while trying to shuffle the latest piece of software on to the HP.

I good rule of thumb to play it safe is as follows: Crystal Built-in PC Card Speed COM1 COM2 1x 9600 19200 2x 19200 38400 This is for communications through a modem such as with WWW/LX or acCIS, etc. Some people have used higher baud rates and they worked, but these recommendations should work with most configurations with a few TSR's and drivers loaded, etc. Always make sure your modem is using hardware handshaking.

Chris, I suspect that your AC adapter is underrated for use with your palmtop and the network card. What AC adapter are you using? HP's? What is the voltage and current rating on the case? It should be 12 volts exactly and 750 ma or better. If the AC adapter is rated lower than that current, then the voltage may dip lower than 12 volts when under full load (like when there is a network card). If the external voltage dips down or the external power supply cannot supply enough current, then the palmtop will automatically draw from the batteries to get the rest of the power it needs. I suspect this may be what happened in your case.

Stan: That is what I expected, also. It turns out to be partially true. My adaptor *was* rated at 12VDC and at 800mA. It was sold my Plug Power, and is I'm told very similar to the ones now sold by Thaddeus. I say *was* because the next day it went south on me - completely dead. Now I'm low on AC power adaptors, and am shopping around. I think I'd like another small one like the Plug Power, and I might also want to get an HP one because of the wide input voltage range, and nifty package (My original HP one was stolen/lost while I was in the hospital a few years back). Thanks for the advice. -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

I have actually used this modem and can confirm that it "works" in the palmtop, but I strongly suspect it will burn up the palmtop after a while since it draws 175 ma and causes quite a bit of heat.

Rod and company, I'm sending this message courtesy of a new 56k modem in my 200LX. I got this modem as part of a bundle from MicroWarehouse, for my Omnibook 800 (bundle included an auto power adapter, 56k modem and spare lithium battery...all for about $130). The modem is a Xircom CM56T and the label on the card itself shows HP Omnibook, so I guess this is an OEM product. I don't have a feel for the power consumption and the box comes with little technical detail. I'll just try and relay my experiences in the next day or so.. but I did manage to download 43 email messages via NetTamer on this card entirely on battery power (at half charge too.. NiMH). The fact that the LX doesn't shut down when the card is merely put in, is heartening. The modem includes a 6 inch dongle to connect to a phone jack and the dongle has ligths to indicate line activity...an interesting thing to watch (I mostly use the 33.6 Simple Communicator...no lights). I had intended to give this 56k modem to my laptop toting son...maybe I should reconsider . - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 30 Jan 1999 04:27:41 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Laust Brock-Nannestad Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Laust Brock-Nannestad Subject: Re: Tech: Using Linkwiz on the 200LX In-Reply-To: <00145BF4.3146@palmtop.com>> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Fri, 29 Jan 1999, John Musielewicz wrote: Ýsnip!¨ Where can I find more info about Linkwiz? is it free/shareware/GPL?

My 1450mAh NiMHs from Olympus were already down to 2.38v (per ABC/LX) and I successfully downloaded 121 messages from comp.sys.palmtops for a total of 257k. I didn't track the total time, but it was only about 3 minutes. I exited NetTamer back to AppMgr and the voltage showed 2.40v. I took the modem out immediately afterwards and it was only slightly warm. During the download, I got a low battery warning and had to hit ESC, and was pleasantly surprised that the download recovered from the burp and continued. During each of several connects to my ISP, connect speeds were displayed as 26400 and 28800 (NetTamer baud rate is set to 115200). Maybe tomorrow, after my batteries recharge, I'll try a really long download and see what breaks first ....actually, since I only have 3mb of free space on C, I can't download all that much, but heck, I don't know anyone who'd complain about downloading 3mbs of data on the LX using a 56k modem on batteries.

Hey guys, I've owned a PC (besides the palmtop) for a whole month now, and I'm still figuring it out. I just yesterday realized that there was a COM2 port on the motherboard without a physical attachment, so I hooked it up and decided to play with backup software on the PC. I've always used my Amiga for that, wrote my own software in REXX, simple terminal for upload/downloads, etc.. However, I can't figure out something. The Amiga has two way communications with the LX in datacomm, no problem. But hooked up to the PC using HyperTerminal (or BitCom..), communications only go LX->PC, the PC can't send to the LX! I've set both flow controls to none, same baud, obviously the ports are right for the one way communications, but surely there is something simple I've overlooked. In BitCom the indicators at the bottom indicate DSR is hooked up (and if I unhook the palmtop it turns off), and RD lights when I type on the palmtop, SD lights when I type on the PC, but still nothing displayed on the palmtop. I've tried both Datacomm and DSZ on the palmtop. BTW, it was the same with a serial card I purchased, which is now going back as I don't need four serial ports. (And I'm realizing that adding serial ports is a heckuva lot more complicated on the PC, the Amiga just used 'em.. No IRQ's, I/O's, blah... And the fact that one restart the mouse stopped working, and started working again when the serial card was removed, even though they cooperated for hours before that.. Bah.)

I can use the work modem in both the laptop, and the palmtop, both at home and at work. I can use my modem in both the laptop and the palmtop at work. But my modem does not recognise the dial tone using either my palmtop or the laptop when at home! I can actually hear the dial tone throught the speaker if I turn the sound on using the M1 switch on modem initialisation. Also, I can use my modem in the Laptop if I set the moden flag to say do not detect dial tone. I would like to know how to do that with the palmtop. I assume that flag must tell the modem somehow, but I could not see any modem command which would do this. They have one (W) which tells the modem to wait for dial tone, but this is the default anyway! Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Logden: I wonder if you could initiate a file transfer and specify the NUL: device as the destination. Maybe with an XMODEM transfer from your shell account? That way you could transfer unlimited files for the purpose of evaluating transfer rates. Just a thought, I've never tried this myself. But the NUL: device comes in handy on occassions, on both DOS and UNIX systems (it's /dev/null there). -Chris -- ************************************************************************ R.

I used X1, and it worked. In my modem commands book, X1 is advertised as: Extended response codes (codes 0-4,33,35,+4) In what way does this mean no dial tone connect? :-) palmtop horror Story -------------------- I am back online after a lot of trouble in the last 12 hours. I sent the request for modem help email last night just before going to bed. I used the work PCMCIA modem, which really draws too much current. I sat the HP on a ice pack to keep it cool, and had it plugged in to the adaptor, because it shuts down without it. The problem was, I forgot to take the modem out after sending. This morning, the HP was VERY hot, and would not turn on. After removing the modem, the screen eventually worked. The 2mb was lost, but the T2T 32mb upgrade still had all the data in-tact. This was good, as I have not made a backup for a long time. I then set up the 2mb drive, and noticed that I could only get 520kb memory in DOS. After many hours of fiddling around, I had resigned to the fact that I had probably fried the chip. I then backed up the indernal 32mb drive, and took all batteries out, and held the on button down. Upon reboot, the 640mb was back. What a relief!!

Still can't find the power specs, but after about 11 minutes of continuous file download, it was just barely warm. I connected at 28800 and downloaded 1,742,246 bytes in 10 min, 45 secs which amounts to roughly 21,609 bits per sec. All this was on battery power (NiMH), and even more amazingly, ABC/LX showed the batts at 2.59v at the start and was down to just 2.57v about 10 min after the download. I looked at the Xircom website, but didn't see any power specs for this modem, so if anyone finds it, I'd appreciate it if you'd clue me in.

I use an EXP 28.8 and it can use all sorts of cellular cables, and draws a safe amount of current from the palmtop. The initial surge will put it into backup mode if inserted while on, but I just turn it off, insert it, and it's fine. It has a sleep mode so I just leave it in the palmtop, it draws very little idle. You might have trouble finding one, but consider looking around, it sounds like you're pushing the palmtop dangerously close to burning something out. -- Walter Francis KT4LH http://sac.uky.edu/~wally ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 31 Jan 1999 11:05:37 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Ball Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Ball Subject: 95LX Serial Cable Comments: To: "Claud G.

I am not sure but think that having to take those measures means that your pcmcia modem may be too demanding. What kind is it? Others may know if it takes too much power. Frankly, forcing the hp to power a modem which will not run at all on batteries is probably a bad idea. Using an adapter where the batteries would be easily depleted probably is okay but if the hp really wants to shut down, then I'm don't think it is healthy. Just my opinion. If the hp can't run a modem on a set of lithium batteries or fully recharged nicads/nmh's, then??????? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 31 Jan 1999 18:05:49 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , fjkaufman@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "F.

I wrote to the ptp years back with some macros I used to convert the data, once imported, into the right places in the 200's database. This problem arises because of the fewer fields on the 95, and the way the conversion program brought them over.

The LX conserves battery life by frequently going to a low-power state where the processor runs slower. When you type a key, the processor momentarily speeds up to give you a good responsive feel. The reason that it uses less power when running slower is that CMOS logic uses almost all its power while it's switching states - if a logic gate is holding a one or a zero, there is almost no current flow. So by switching states less frequently (running slower), it uses less power. Of course, if you're connected to the mains, there is no reason to ever slow it down. -Curtis Cameron WGS-84 N33.033 W96.724 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 31 Jan 1999 15:39:38 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , scott smith Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: scott smith Subject: Re: 95LX Serial Cable Comments: To: Quinton Jones Jr Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Darn it, and i have just purchased a cable for my HP95lx.

OFF is OFF other than the clock and awaken sysmgr. The hp does not multitask, so when you move away from any session, that session is STOPPED. Nothing is occurring there. The clock is running and can wake a sysmgr session if an appt comes due. Also, I believe a signal on the serial port may be able to awaken an hp, it did on the 95, at least. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 31 Jan 1999 19:31:27 -0800 Reply-To: camba1@pacbell.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: bob1 Subject: Re: HP 200LX UPGRADING MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: All 200lx users I have an HP200LX 2MB an thinking to upgrade to 5MB or 8MB.
