It seems that you set the fonts to use PAL fonts such as lucs15.hfn, etc in HV.CFG. These PAL fonts does not support Japanese language. You need to delete all these settings under ÝFonts¨ section. HV will use system fonts (now supporting Japanese by DSP14A) automatically, when it does not find other fonts. In HV, you need to disable Latin-1 support and to enable Japanese support from Menu. All these setting are written in the document found on D&A site. Of course these documents are in Japanese and is of no use if you cannot read Japanese so far.

That produced the same results as before... even to the point of CC:Mail still reporting "Answered at 14,400 baud", which seems kind of strange, to me.. after that message, I still got the error, "Could not establish connection.". Another interesting observation: After attempting a connect to Palmtop.com with CC:Mail, my network ceases to be able to access the palmtop's drives anymore until I reboot it. I'm now starting to wonder if CC:Mail's drivers or software might be somehow conflicting with my network software. Tomorrow, I'll try running my HP200LX without the network software installed and see if that makes a difference. I doubt if that would actually enable a connection, and I don't really mind rebooting after using CC:Mail, but I don't want to leave any stone unturned, either. Hopefully, by then, someone here will be able to point me in the direction of Palmtop's tech support so that I may write them about the problem, as well. Who knows, they may know of a good init string for this particular modem. :-) Cheers!

I guess as a last resort, I could write to that address and ask if they could dig up a manual, but I really do doubt that they would know much about Palmtop.com's requirements. ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Do you know that you can select individual messages to be deleted from the server? If you highlight a single message in either the list view or the message view, and use the Ctrl-D, you will be prompted to delete that selected message from the server or all downloaded. If you select that message, then on the next online run it will be deleted. So, you can use this technique to delete all of your messages from the server and leave the other people's messages there. This technique is a little bit cumbersome, but it will do what you want.

All you need is a utility TSR that loads before the WWW/LX Plus program to simulate some of the services that are only in the ROM of the palmtop. There are a couple versions of this program, and one of them is included with the CPACK. It is called CGAGRAPH.COM, look for it in the CPACK200 directory. Use it as follows: CGAGRAPH /load www -d or however you run WWW/LX Plus CGAGRAPH /unload There is also a version of this called CG.COM in the 100/200LX developers SDK. There is also programs called PALRUN and INT5F written by Harry Konstas that will do this. Harry's programs are available on the SUPER site and probably on D&A Software's web site (www.dasoft.com).

I mean, while what you say may be true for some definition `software' one surely _could_ usefully pass lots of data back and forth between otherwise `entirely different' systems and architectures using IR (How about an HP talkting to a TV set, for example...) And then there are machines that run emulators for other machines. In such cases the actual `programs' can be run (DOS on an APPLE, for example). As far as I can see nothing (except perhaps `practical engineering') stops a DOS machine from sending a DOS program to an APPLE that it can run thru its DOS emulator. While it is probably true that there is no useful link in the particular case being discussed, it seems to me that you rather substantially overstated the basis and reasons.

But you need to emulate the hp graphics screen using any of a number of programs including the cg.com (or cgagraph.com) that comes with the cpack or palrun (probably on the www site) or intf5a (???) which all setup the screen to run hp graphics. Many of these limit the Win95 box type since the graphic mode is not normal.

It allows you to have multiple boot configurations in your CONFIG.SYS file. It prompts you with a menu at boot time to select an option. You can program default configuration and a timeout. Then when you complete processing CONFIG.SYS, there's a method of obtaining the boot selection in your AUTOEXEC.BAT, to that you can continue to tailor your setup there using IF statements.

The goal has always been to share info w/o a bunch of clumsy cables. And of course, to secretly make fun of people at meetings ;¨ well, i've tried a lot of things on the lx side (including the IRDA printer drivers) without success. recently however, I was on pilotgear.com looking for tealdoc files, and found a pilot shareware utility name IRLink 1.2. IRLink supposedly allows for a lot of nifty features, but the only one of importance is it that it teaches the palm pilot HP-SIR which is what the lx speaks. Using this, i've been able to transfer files smoothly with all my piloteer friends. Until someone comes out with complete IRDA drivers for the lx (hint;) or something along those lines, then this is the only wireless method of communication with a pilot I've been able to get working. As an aside, i've found the palmV has a much wider IR recieving range than the lx. i can beem bytes to the palm from a rather obtuse angle while the palm could only get to the lx in a near straight line. --francois ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 2 May 1999 13:56:59 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , John J Vanderstel Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: John J Vanderstel Subject: Re: "Could not establish connection" Hi John, >> I tried setting speed in CC:Mail's setup to 9600 baud and attempted a >> connect.

First of all, I unloaded my network software from my HP200LX and attempted to connect to Pamtop.com with CC:Mail, just to ensure that there are no possible software/driver conflicts. I got the same, "Could not establish connection" error. I retained the clean system and did the rest of my testing in that "purest" states. I looked at the hayes.mdm data file's two setup settings and found no reference to the "%B9600" command, so I opened Data Comm and sent "ATZ" to the modem which promptly returned "OK", and then I sent "AT%B9600". That too returned an "OK", so it does seem to be a valid command for this modem. However, that produced the same result. I then went back to Data Comm and sent "AT&F" and then "AT%B9600". Another attempt to connect produced the same result. :-( There are two different "setup=" settings in the default hayes.mdm file. Since I don't understand the way they are used, I'm not sure how to construct a valid alternate .mdm file to even randomly test the use of different init strings. I hope a way is found to communicate with the right technical people at Palmtop.com about this problem. Cheers!

Not critical to the script's operation. I find init scripts to be far more trouble than they are worth. Many people seem to think that the longer the init string is, the more likely communications are to work. I find it to the the opposite. I just have an ATM0 in the init string to shut off the speaker. I always stay away from all those fancy settings and I seem to have no trouble. Butting a Z in the inti string is not a good idea because sometimes the modem takes a few seconds to recover from the reset and certainly enything else on the init string is not used. Also, this doesn't make sense for a PCMCIA modem because it is powered up (and therefore reset) right before you use it.

The HP connectivity pack merges and synchronizes with only up to Quicken for Windows 3, and I'm up to 6 already. I thought I could translate/synch the HP with my old Quicken 3, and then let Quicken 6 import the data. It's easy enough to get Q6 to convert the file, but it won't merge it with existing data. So I wound up exporting and importing QIF files. It worked, but it was a pain. Does anybody have a better solution? And does anybody have a copy of Pocket Quicken Connect that they're not using, and might want to sell? I have been using Pocket Quicken Connect for a couple of years ever since Quicken changed the data structure. Unlike the HP CPack, Quicken Connect will not synchronize the data - just import it into Quicken. The program will export the quicken balances back to the HPLX. One thing to watch out for is the size of the pocket quicken file. Since I reconcile on the desktop I had lots of un-reconciled transactions on the HPLX and the file grew very big. Once I caught on what was happening, I trimmed the pocket quicken file and clear the keep uncleared transaction option. Also, I recommend backing up the pocket quicken data often. Once in a long while, the connect fails locking the HPLX locks. Overall I have been very happy with Connect. I am not sure if Intuit still sells Pocket Quicken Connect but someone should have an old copy.

The ob435 is claimed to run 50% faster than an ob300 while getting 15% less battery life. They both weigh < 3 lbs., have a 16-shade grayscale VGA screen, full-size keyboard, 2 button pop-out mouse (a real mouse with absolute positioning). They both can boot from an ATA-Flashdisk giving great battery life. An 0b300 will run 9-12 hrs. on fully charged, new battery. The battery life will, of course, drop as the battery ages. They run DOS 5/Windows 3.1. Both are loaded in a read-only flash card. The read-only flashcard also provides Excel and Word as well as HP?00LX compatible Windows versions of Appt, Phone & HPCalc. The Windows version of HPCalc is not as fully featured as the HP?00LX version. Also included is LapLink Remote, which can be used with the HP?00LX compatible IR port for synchronization. Note that there is no provision for opening .gdb files. They have a feature called instant-on which works very much like the HP?00LX. It takes about 0.5 secs. to get an operational screen and it's right where you left off last. They use a 12VDC adapter which uses the same power connector and I've used my HP?00LX adapter to run/charge them many times. They have 2 PCMCIA Type II/III card slots. One of the slots is occupied by the read-only flashcard leaving room for 3 Type II or 2 Type II/1 Type III cards. There are both serial and parallel ports on the back. There is no standard floppy drive but a third-party parallel port drive can be had. They use a proprietary NIMh battery pack but 4 AA batteries can be used in a pinch. Both can be used with a PCMCIA HDD, but I recommend against it due to drastically reduced battery life. On the other hand, ATA FlashDisks are expensive. The ob300 came with a 40MB HDD which wasn't quite PCMCIA 2.0 compatible. As such, you can't run larger PCMCIA 2.0 HDDs. That is unless you can track down a special hack done by ACE which provides a PCMCIA 2.0 compatible driver. The ob425 came with a 105MB PCMCIA 2.0 drive and can accomodate larger drives. I think that covers the basics :) Wayne Dave - wrote: > OK, i know this is a bit off list....but here goes. > > I've been watching with interest the OB sales announcements > here on the list. gosh, now i wanna know more about them. > > So, can some out there please give me a quick and dirty > comparison of the different models? i know they start at 300 > and end at the ob800. > > keep in mind i am a 200lx user and my pentium notebook does > more dusk gathering than ever before.

Jeff is messing with PGP currently, and the way the external PGP hook works (PGPGP.EXE) it only can act on the message body. GP appends the signature after the message body, thus outside the PGP area. I *could* fill the signature into the message body prior to invoking the editor, but that would get really annoying if your editor of choice sticks you at the end of the file all the time (like RED.COM does). Since PGP isn't in great demand (at least from GP users), I chose to limit it's effect on GP itself as much as possible. (V2 was totally unaware when PGP was used, V3 needed some awareness due to the ISO<->Codepage conversion). I can only assume the worst from Jeff. Seeing how he got his "most circles in a rectangle" calculation and now is sending secret messages I can only assume that Alabama has become a nuclear power and Jeff is now figuring blast areas... Of course, since he's a fine upstanding member of law enforcement, he'll only take out the bad guys. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 4 May 1999 08:36:39 +1000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Russell Hemery Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Russell Hemery Subject: Re: Method of noting when a particular record is last accessed Comments: To: Ed Keefe Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" At 08:26 AM 3/05/99 -0400, you wrote: >If I understand you correctly, you have a field in a database (perhaps it's >called "Last Updated") which you fill it in by pressing the Fn , (Date) >key.

I aslo have a 600 for sale. There are 430 and 530 models. These models do not have the built in applications but are more compatable with "normal" software and widows. After the 530, you have the 600 and 800 models. These are the last of the true Omnibooks and have color screens. The 530 and color models can not use AA batteries although batteries seem to be avialable for all models. The 430+ models have docking stations available if you can find them. All models share the same keyboard which is very easy to type with and is standard. I've used a scsi CD rom with most models. The pcmcia connection is a little less than standard. Some pcmcia cards will work and some are trouble. Most modems do work. The b/w models are great for working outside, just like the 200. Hope this answers some of your questions.

I'm not a member, and understand that they do have a point of view. Begin quoted material: I have some old software that I do not use anymore. I want to give it away. What do I need to do? Do I need special permission? It depends on what is meant by "old software". If, for example, you wish to give away old software that has been upgraded, the answer is generally no. Upgrade licenses supplant the license of the original, voiding the original license thereby making the original version legally unusable. On the other hand, if you bought a new, full copy of a higher version of the software, license permitting, you could sell or give away the older version. I would like to use a software program, but the company has gone out of business. Is it okay for me to make a copy since they are not making any more copies of this software for purchase? Copyright may be valid for 75 years or more, so they may continue to subsist long after a company has gone out of business. The copyrights may even have been transferred or assigned to someone else. To copy a software program, you need express permission from the copyright holder. The U.S. Copyright Office may be helpful in finding the current copyright holder to write for permission to copy the product. End copied material. Their view (which I believe to be correct) is strongly anti-abandonware. But I'm not a lawyer, and could be wrong. Lynn M.

If you like windows, it runs Win95 just great, could replace a desktop in my opinion unless one has to keep up with technology. Hard drive is slower than a desktop equivalent, but speed otherwise performs like a typical P166MMX. It came with 16M RAM, 4G HD, docking station, external 8x CDROM and FD. Got 80MB RAM total. I takes a couple of seconds to come up or shut down with its instant on-that is sure nice. The docking station has room for one ISA or PCI card. I installed a PCI pnp network card. With a bit of practice, it hot docks smoothly (don't have to reboot to get on the network). The screen is useless in daylight I think HP missed the boat by discontinuing them.

Here is an idea to fill a void in the portable computer industry. Glitz and blitz caused the loss of the real OmniBooks. A universal computer would give HP with a stable and consistent product much like the 200CD oscillator. The demand would be at least moderate. Its potential of market share may be surprising. Forget about yearly changes. The HP200LX has shown a machine that many can live with over the years. The universal computer comes in three flavors. 1. HP200LX HP please don t mess it up. 2. OmniBook LT HP680LX size of the OmniBook Classic w/slower processor 3. OmniBook Classic. It would be the *** universal *** machine for the past 20 years and for the next 20 years. The description is simple. OmniBook Classic * OmniBook 300-800 in size * Rugged for field use * X86 processor (fast w/long battery life) * FLASH-MSDOS 6.22/WFW31/Off4.3 or W95 or WCE or Linux you load * 16-64+MB RAM * Powered by AA cells no specialized batteries * PCMCIA Type II/III slots * Serial/parallel * SoundBlaster compatible * Color NON-BACKLIT REFLECTIVE/BACKLIT display * * ROM with software like HP200LX * IR capable * HP200LX wish list items * $$cheap$$ * A thin silvered mylar reflector would allow both backlit and non-backlit operation, whichever the user desired for indoor/outdoor use. Switch off backlight to increase battery life by hours. Not exactly the state of the art, but meant to be as much universal as possible. Accessories will round out the customization/standalonishness--the ideal machine that will not be obsolete in 6 months. There are only two machines that fit the universal/long-lived description--the HP95/100/200 and the Tandy 100/120. R&D is done!! Packaging is all that remains.

I just discovered it the other day and I am absolutely thrilled with it. I had previously been using MiniTelnet (MT), but it had extremely slow screen updates and did not have the ability to download files to the LX. LXTELNET, on the other hand, is extremely fast, has a built in ftp server so you can ftp back to the palmtop and transfer files. It offers the ability to run multiple telnet sessions simultaneously and is really a slick piece of software. It runs quite nicely with the packet driver installed by Goin' Postal and would work equally well with the EPPPD packet driver without Goin' Postal. It's available from Rod's web page http://lxtcp.hplx.net and the best thing about it is that it won't cost you a dime! It's in the package of LXTCP tools along with LXNNTP and LXPOP.

Mine arrived today and it is indeed well-made. Hard, formed leather. I got the swivel buckle model which allows it to rotate or pivot while on the belt allowing one to sit. The swivel is an interesting feature that allows the case to be disengaged from the beltloop but has a very secure "locking" mechanism. I did have them modify it slightly. I had them add depth (length) so that 2-AA lithium cells can be dropped down to the bottom of the case (as spares) and still accommodate the HP. I think I would have one more modification done - just a smidge more room to allow the xjack modem to slide down in the case or possibly a small outside pocket to accommodate it. The guy I spoke with on the phone was helpful and very friendly. I'm not sure what it ultimately cost me (g) as the billing was for $58.00 but if that is Canadian, the price would be about 30% less.

Open does not do it currently, but it could do with a very small change. The problem is that I don't know if this change is relevant to more people - hence the copy to HPLX-L. The code is written in C, and compiled with PAL. The only change needed is to dupplicate the ".GDB" line in the data structure that governs how open opens, and replace ".GDB" by ".FDB" in the copied line. This can be done at will for other extensions - just see how both ".TXT" and ".DOC" are supported. (well, you cannot write one entry in the table for each and any of *all* the 46656 extensions - considering all the possibilities of 26 letters and 10 digits, and excluding the ones like ".%$!")

I have had in the past and ob530, and an ob600. The keyboards *are* all full-size. But have been variable in terms of feel. The only one I didn't like was the ob600 keyboard. It tended to stick if you didn't press directly vertical to the key. My typing rhythm was often broken by having to go back and retype a key that had stuck. Someone offered an ob425 to you. Buy it! You won't be sorry. If you don't like it, I'll take it off your hands and you won't be out one red cent. In addition to the machines listed above, I have an HP Pavilion 8140 and two HP200LXen. Here's how I use them: HP Pavilion 8140 - This is my desktop machine (typing on it now.) It's my email/internet/game/hobby machine. It's filled to capacity with cards, disks, and RAM. ob425 - This is my main laptop. I use it like a paper notebook. I keep notes from work, my schedule, phonebook, and checkbook on it. It's light, has great battery life, a full-size keyboard. Most people at work who tote laptops have a shoulder bag with extra batteries, a power supply and who knows what else. The laptops tend to weigh in at 6-8 lb. They tell me how great they are with big color screens, big disks, CD-ROM drives and all while they hunt for an outlet and look for a place to put their luggage and wait for the thing to boot. I, carrying only my 0b425 and pencil, smugly open my ob425 and hit the on switch and wait for the meeting to start. HP200LX 2X8MB - This serves as an adjunct to ob425 as well as hosting a few things on its own. I keep it synchronized with the ob425. I keep it in a fanny pack and have it with me all the time. It has a copy of my text files, schedule, phonebook, and checkbook. I use MKS Toolkit (UNIX utilities) and Intellilink to synchronize the two via the IR ports. I also use the notes db for various notes and Gdb for things like my CD collection. ob800ct - This is kinda like a copy of my desktop machine, but without the games and hobby stuff. I use it for things like Office 97 which won't run on the ob425. It mostly sits snugly in my Targa laptop backpack which I carry back and forth to work. It also runs Linux and has copies of file systems that represent work I've done at various jobs (I'm a UNIX Systems Administrator.) ob800cs - will run Linux and become my web-site. ob300 - backup to my ob425 in case it gets lost, stolen or stepped on. HP200LX 2MB - backup to my HP200LX 8MB2X. Stolen: ob600cs, HP200LX 8MB2X, HP200LX 2MB (all in one fell swoop.)

I will probably write about them in the July/Aug Palmtop Paper (http://www.palmtoppaper.com). The short answer to your question is that I use an upgraded 200LX as my main palmtop. The longer answer is that Windows CE machines are getting nicer. The 680 is not too much bigger than the 200LX, has a great keyboard, and a number of other things going for it. However, I strongly dislike the "PC Companion" philosophy of Windows CE, although HP does include some software which lets your read Word and Excel in native format on the CE machine. I don't really like Windows CE or its limited applications very much. I especially don't like that for the most part I can't simply copy files to a PC Card to transfer them. I really dislike Windows CE Services 2.2, which syncs and allows file transfer/translation via the serial port, although I understand it's much better than before. It screws with my dial up connection. At the same time, for PC users with moderate need for a handheld, I might well recommend a Windows CE machine. For existing 200LX users who like built in apps and/or DOS capability, I would recommend they think hard before switching. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 4 May 1999 12:34:27 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Ness Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Ness Subject: Re: Omnibook questions Comments: To: Wayne Thompson MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Wayne Thompson wrote: > > Dave, > > I currently have an ob300, ob425, ob800cs, and an ob800ct on the way. > I have had in the past and ob530, and an ob600. > Did you ever wonder if you were ob(sessed)?

I am using the HP200 LX palmtop inside a telemedicine project. My question is related to the communication between the palmtop and a conventional PC. Nowadays, that communication run, using a modem, through the phone line. I was thinking on implementating a new communication kit (module) using the TCP/IP protocol. So, i use the serial port and the communication (via phone) through a serial protocol like PPP. That kit would be included inside the global application (written in C code). I'd like to know if WatTCP could to help me to achieve my task. What other serial TCP/IP protocol would be appropiated ??

The battery life isn't that good--about 7 hours. It is definately no replacement for the 200LX--it won't even fit in my shirt pocket. Plus the fact it has no numeric keypad. It is really tough to see it as a 200LX replacement even with the color and XTCE. Granted the 200LX isn't perfect but it beats the Journada series hands down.

Now for another project update: I know that internet email access and even text based web access (like Lynx) can still be gotten from the text based side of the Delphi online service, but I recently heard that it now goes for a flat rate of just $35/yr. If that turns out to be true, I'll then inquire about local access numbers, whether their front end DOS software will run on my HP200LX, and if their software will support my modem. I know that many still connect to Compuserve with their HP200LX's, but from what I understand, Compuserve is no longer offering text based access to new accts. I also know that AOL's old DOS software offers access too, but I've gone that route before with the Magic Cap interface and got very poor results. I continuously got repeats of earlier emails. The server refused to delete downloaded mail or even mark it as read after downloading. AOL support did nothing but make excuses. They seemed to be powerless to fix the problem. I believe that Genie still offers text based access with the Aladdin front end software and possible internet text based web access, but as far as I know, they still charge a monthly access fee as well as per minute charges. I'll keep everyone posted on my progress with this project. :-) Cheers!

Their $35/yr flat charge applies only to those who agree to telnet into Delphi. If we could do that, we wouldn't need the Delphi service in the first place. ;-) I did, however, get a response from tech support at ESPMail. (They are the ones who offer the special Palmtop.com deal.) The person behind the admin@espmail.com email address is non other than Martin Paul, himself. :-) He advised me that the CC:Mail recommended modem init string for the Motorola 14.4 Kbps CELLect PCMCIA modem is "AT&F&C1&D2\Q3V3". It sounds as though ESPMail has CC:Mail recommended init strings for a whole long list of modems, so I would like to see that list on their website for direct reference. I'll write back to him and suggest that, but I don't know how seriously they'll take only one request. If anyone else on this list would like the CC:Mail recommended modem init string for their particular modem, just send a quick email to admin@espmail.com asking for it, and also request that they supply that particular info on their website. If enough of us asked for this info separately and all within a short time period, I think we could be rather persuasive. ;-) Oh, Martin Paul suggested adding the CC:Mail recommended "setup =" as a third "setup =" line in the .mdm. file. He also reminds everyone to redirect CC:Mail to the new .mdm file, as well. :-) I'll go ahead and create the new .mdm file tomorrow so I can try it out. I'll let you know how it works. :-) Cheers!

They have a $4.95 a month account that includes 3 hrs. They have over 500 POPs in the US. If you can not find a local number, their 800 number is $6 per hour, not bad when you only use a couple minutes to download or upload email. The 800 access does not chew into the 3 hrs per month. They also have a surcharge of $9 when you travel abroad. No affiliation, I am just a happy user.

Received a reply of undeliverable, so I'll send it just in case. Please forgive if this is duplicate mail I couldn t help but take off on the "OmniBook question" letter from HPLX Mailing List. Here is an idea to fill a void in the portable computer industry. Glitz and blitz caused the loss of the real OmniBooks. A universal computer would give HP with a stable and consistent product much like the 200CD oscillator. The demand would be at least moderate. Its potential of market share may be surprising. Forget about yearly changes. The HP200LX has shown a machine that many can live with over the years. The universal computer comes in three flavors. 1. HP200LX HP please don t mess it up. 2. OmniBook LT HP680LX size of the OmniBook Classic w/slower processor 3. OmniBook Classic. It would be the *** universal *** machine for the past 20 years and for the next 20 years. The description is simple. OmniBook Classic * OmniBook 300-800 in size * Rugged for field use * X86 processor (fast w/long battery life) * FLASH-MSDOS 6.22/WFW31/Off4.3 or W95 or WCE or Linux you load * 16-64+MB RAM * Powered by AA cells no specialized batteries * PCMCIA Type II/III slots * Serial/parallel * SoundBlaster compatible * Color NON-BACKLIT REFLECTIVE/BACKLIT display * * ROM with software like HP200LX * IR capable * HP200LX wish list items * $$cheap$$ * A thin silvered mylar reflector would allow both backlit and non-backlit operation, whichever the user desired for indoor/outdoor use. Switch off backlight to increase battery life by hours. Not exactly the state of the art, but meant to be as much universal as possible. Accessories will round out the customization/standalonishness--the ideal machine that will not be obsolete in 6 months. There are only two machines that fit the universal/long-lived description--the HP95/100/200 and the Tandy 100/120. R&D is done!! Packaging is all that remains.

LXTELNET is available for anyone to use, as long as you accept the conditions on my beta test page - that it's a beta version and could have a bug that deletes all your files - which is basically the same conditions that you accept everytime you use software (especially software from Microsoft). Note that none of my beta software from that page has ever deleted anyones files - the big warning is simply there to limit the number of "how do I set this up" questions from people who don't have the knowledge to be an effective beta tester (especially before any documentation has been written).

Yes you can move mail from the mailhost folders to the saved folder and from the trash folder back to the mailhost folders. To create other folders, you create new mailhosts or extract the message and file it in that manner.

Both the sender and the receiver have influence on how a message is displayed. The sender can format the message so that there are line breaks. This is recommended for Internet email. So you'd better use an editor that inserts line breaks. If you use MEMO, it looks (within Memo) as if the lines would be broken, but in reality, all of a paragraph is pushed onto one line. On the receivers side, it depends on what the email client does with a message. In POST/LX, for example, you can turn formatting on and off by pressing ALT-F. When turned on, the lines are broken so that they fit onto the screen and use the full screen width. When turned off, they are displayed as closely as possible to the original posting. Some clients, however, may not be able to reformat the message and all comes on one big line (which is why I recommended to break the lines). There is another point that must be considered: Internet email only supports lines of up to 80 characters. Most email system nowadays support long lines too, but the specs say 80 characters. This is another reason why it is better to break the lines. Some email clients encode messages using MIME encoding (ALT-M toggles that in POST/LX) so that long lines get broken into short lines and an equal sign marks a "soft" line break so that the long line can be reassembled on the receivers side. However, the receipient must support MIME decoding to do that. So the conclusion: it seems that you use an editor that does not break the lines and also use MIME encoding for POST/LX. This has the effect that some people (e.g. POST/LX users) won't notice anything strange about your message. Some users will see one long line per paragraph and some users will see lines ending with an equal sign. The best way to prevent the "odd" variants is to use an editor that breaks the lines for you or to press ENTER at the end of each line.

Well, I know that you could use WWW/LX on the desktop (I do it regularly) and then copy over the mail/newsgroups to the HP and then use just the POST module to to the reading and replying. Then you could move your replies or new messages back to the desktop and upload and start another cycle. It would not be too complex but it would involve moving a certain number of files and probably doing some manual cleanup so that you don't upload the same messages over and over. I'm sure a batch file could handle it after you do the linking. I think you could do the same using Nettamer (I have not looked at it in a very long time). I'm not sure about the other options like going postal or (sorry Rod!)...... and whether they run on desktops as well as the HP. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 5 May 1999 09:17:14 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Hal Goldstein Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Hal Goldstein Subject: Re: PTP Index Ýoff-topic, sorta) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain <> As long as you still own a PTP CD, you can upgrade it.

I've used the DataComm program on the 200LX to configure everything from Routers and UNIX workstations to PBXs. It works great!

Yep. PGP 5.5i. Available at http://www.pgpi.com. This will let them generate new key rings in RSA format. They can continue to use the 6.0 version, as it will work with RSA, but it just won't generate an RSA key. > > It was a huge mistake for PGP to move to the new format, IMHO. > > Why did they do this?

RSA held all the stuff to the old PGP algorithms. There are no good feelings between the people at RSA and PGP (read Garfinkel's PGP book). The newer PGPs are based on algorithms which entered public domain which was not only cheaper for them but let them break free of some use constraints. There was also beginning to be the legitimate question of security. 2048 bit keys seemed pretty impressive in the late '80s but doesn't encourage as much confidence in the days of a Pentium III on every desktop. Distributed computing resources are also quite common now due to an Internet factor that wasn't in the early days of PGP. I'm not saying PGP 2.6.x is insecure but encryption folks are a PARANOID lot (ol' Phil Z almost moved to Finland 'cause he thought Reagan was going to nuke the world). As for communicating with v6+ users, tell them to create a "normal" key to communicate with you. Larry Zimmerman PS - There is no such thing as abondonware (earlier thread).

I visited the PGPi site and saw that there is a version 5 available for DOS, will it run on the LX? Will it communicate with v6.0? David, you and Larry both mentioned that v6.0 will make RSA keys.

It could be a beak in the wire have you done a voltage test on the + & - side of the adaptor plug?

I've had this problem several times. Generally it was the adapter shorting out, but I've also had problems with the jack's connection to the motherboard.

I guess I'm just too stubborn for that. There are few enough PCMCIA card modems out there that can be safely used in a HP200LX, so I don't intend to throw this otherwise qualified one out and scrape up more cash for yet another, without a real fight. ;-) The CC:Mail's default hayes.mdm file causes it to dial up the server and negotiate a speed. It just doesn't connect properly yet. The init string that ESPMail recommended won't even allow the modem to dial out. So... the way I see it, I'm at least half way there with the default .mdm file. It appears that a minor adjustment to the default init strings is the only thing left between success and failure. Cheers!

(Please say adaptor!) Hi Mike I just had the same problem. In my case the adapter had developed a bad connection in the jack. I put on a new jack and its fine. An easy way to find it is connect a voltmeter to the adapter the next time you are having these problems and if you don't get a reading twist and turn on the wires until you do. That way you can locate the bad spot. If you need to put the jack on a new one can be had at an electronic parts store for a buck. Its a 9mm long by 5.5mm OD by 2.1mm ID.

Again, you can get it from my web page at http://members.aol.com/freewhL44/lxgames.html Here's the feature list: * Support of any format PDB or GDB palmtop file. * Support of Outlook 97, 98, and 2000. * Select sub-folders of the main Outlook Contacts folder. You can select multiple folders for export by holding the CTRL key while clicking them. * Map fields between Outlook and the LX however you like. * Multiple Outlook fields can be assigned to each LX field, so in case an Outlook field is blank, it will go to a second or third to find data to put in the LX field. * You can separate Outlook's multi-line street address fields into their first, second, or third lines and assign them separately to LX fields. * Field mapping is stored for each different palmtop file you use, so you can have several different ones and it will remember the mapping for each. This info is stored in the same directory as the LX file, using the palmtop file name, except with a .MAP file extension. * If you pass a palmtop file name on the command line, that palmtop file, along with all its mapping info, will be loaded when it starts. * If you also pass the string "/run" after the file name, then the conversion process is started automatically. --=20 Curtis Cameron ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 6 May 1999 03:58:55 GMT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Russel Brooks Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Russel Brooks Subject: Re: "Free email for HP200lx" project status Comments: To: Samuel Lightcap MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit > It's not _free_, but I got an ibm.net account to work over the weekend with > Goin' Postal (check is in the mail).

PNR (open-source freeware available at my web site) is suited to offline reading. The "usual" method of getting mail and news to and from PNR is via LXPOP and LXNNTP, but there are a number of people who just transfer raw mailbox files (PNR reads unix mailbox format) from the desktop. All the file formats are fully documented. PNR can run on the desktop too. I would expect that you could also use GP and POST/LX in offline mode in much the same way, as long as you know the file formats to be able to transfer the messages from the desktop. -- 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: Thu, 6 May 1999 11:49:38 +0300 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Ernst, Yehuda" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Ernst, Yehuda" Subject: double speed MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="----_=_NextPart_000_01BE979D.61DD6DD6" This message is in MIME format.

But I use 2.6.3i on the LX and 5.5i on my Win98 laptop. I use a SRAM card for my keyring, so it works in both and is small. All keys are RSA. I can imagine that the commercial PGP (which is piled high in the shops) has an intererest in having a key format that is not compatible with free versions of PGP. You are limited to 1024-bit keys - I think it is the 2.6.3i that has this limit. The LX takes a long time to sign/encrypt, it's hard work. The laptop is excellent, really good integration with Outlook etc., nice key management. The initial setup was a bit daunting as there is a load you need to read to be confident that you are doing the right thing. It also depends how paranoid you need to be. For example you might want to ensure that the plain text and encrypted text never co-exist on a system, and that you never connect the system with the plain text to anything else (modem, LAN etc).

It is a legitimate version. PGP cannot be exported out of the US because it is technically a "munition". PGPi takes the source in book form (legal to export on paper) and scans it in then recompiles it so international users can get it (that's the way it used to be anyway). They did this with PGPs wink-and-nod and indirect assistance. PGPi v6 has RSA in it because the RSA patent was only valid in the US. International versions of PGP have always used the full, uncrippled version of RSA. Intellectual property lawyers suggest that it violates the RSA patent to use an international PGP version in the United States. It is a simple violation of RSAs patents which protect them against unauthorized use. If you are a commercial US user of PGP, then you have to have a licensed copy of PGP (cost $150 for awhile). PGP only authorizes freeware use of their products for non-commercial uses (check the license). They didn't include RSA ability in their freeware versions because of RSAs patents (have we got the mantra now ;-). Though it effectively cut off communication with RSA users, the switch to DH/DSS was to get access to a strong algorithm in the public domain. Many really paranoid users of PGP won't touch any new version. The code has gotten so incredibly large that no one could effectively walk through it and verify its security anymore. There is also uneasiness that Network Associates is non-committal about staying out of key recovery schemes. The Cyber-Knights Templar have created versions of PGP 2.6.x which generate super-huge keys (last I saw there were some 8000+ bit keys) and sparked the interest of paranoids but ticked off Phil Zimmerman himself. Many contend the best PGP you can get is PGP 2.6.3i in source and compile it yourself. Only the NSA really knows ;-).

But I'm not positive. No, it's something different. When Phil Zimmerman (the author of PGP) got seriously into the swing of the project, it got to be pretty well defined: make the best encryption program possible. Now one major part of achieving that goal is using the best encryption _algorithms_ known, for the various needed algorithms (public key AKA asymmetric, secret key AKA symmetric, checksum AKA crypto hash, etc.). When Phil got to the point of settling on these algorithms for PGP 2.x, the best ones known, the best-trusted algorithms, included RSA public key and IDEA secret key --- and both are protected by patents. This in turn means that he could write the code, and he could give it away, but people couldn't legally use it (the details are very complex; as a flat statement that was not strictly correct; it's more like "some people couldn't legally use it in some places"). So with PGP 5, on reviewing the menu of available algorithms, some had had their patents lapse (D-H public key), and others were available unencumbered by patent (triple-DES secret key); by substituting some different algorithms they could get out from under the patent barrier and distribute a cryptosystem that could be legally used by nearly everyone --- and so they did. The price paid was a hopefully-final break in backward compatibility. Getting out from under the legal barriers was really important, so they paid that one-time price. The hardest-hit were folks like us on platforms sufficiently historical that they haven't gotten the new crypto code back-ported.

Minor nit (the gist of the idea is right) --- 2048-bit public keys are fantastically, excessively secure; PGP 5 (and some modified versions of the later PGP 2.x series) upped the limit _to_ 2048 from 1024. Today, a 1024-bit RSA public key is regarded as the minimum size to consider safe for a few years; while 768-bit is at the moment out of reach, it's not far _enough_ out of reach to make people really feel comfortable. Shamir's recent TwinkleÝ1¨ brought the limits a little closer, but 1024-bit still remains the widest recommendation. 2048-bit is generally believed to be a difficulty level in the same neighborhood as brute-force searching a 128-bit keyspace for a good symmetric algorithm, hence the popularity of that key size. Estimates for cracking keys of that size (2048 RSA, 128 symmetric) are cosmological, as in out past the anticpated heat death of the universe or whatever --- which means they are meaningless, since we're very confident that someone will change the rules long before then:-). -Bennett Ý1¨ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 6 May 1999 17:18:03 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Bennett Todd Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bennett Todd Subject: Re: ÝFLUFF¨ PGP Help Needed Comments: To: Jeff Johns In-Reply-To: <199905061641.LAA32604x@scott.net>; from Jeff Johns on Thu, May 06, 1999 at 11:40:38AM -0500 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii 1999-05-06-16:40:38 Jeff Johns: > Bennett Todd: > > Anybody gotten a working port of a modern PGP or GnuPG back to plain old DOS? > > By modern do you mean more modern that 2.6.2?

I was reading a PGP FAQ yesterday, and it said that one of the disadvantages of the new algorithms is that message sizes more than double after encryption using the new algorithms. Is that right? Is that compared to RSA, or just the original message? Doesn't seem like it would be worth porting over to a 200LX, if it meant everything we encrypted would balloon in size... ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 6 May 1999 12:00:42 +0200 Reply-To: a123456@bitstream.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: John Musielewicz Subject: Semiconductor ID Hello This IS DOS LX related.

By setting it to Sort by movie title, I can see where a particular movie is playing. By adding more Subsets to the template, I can also quickly isolate theater listings by any other criteria. If anyone is interested (I don't want to post a binary .GDB unless there is a great demand), I could post a trimmed down listing (for size) so folks could tell me if they though it was useful.

The autoexec.bat on the D: drive ends with a command to start the 200LX software (command is 200) - it is commented out, but why is it in the ROM, any ideas?

They can explain it better than I could, but here's my summary: Anyone with an email address is eligible for a Freeway long distance account. It works kind of like the free Juno email service in that you'll need to fill out a confidential questionaire on their website about your interests and biographics. You'll then agree to listen to one audio advertisement for each 2 minutes of long distance you intend to use before completing each call. Each ad actually lasts only seconds, so listening to only 60 seconds results in quite a few minutes of free long distance. I'm more than willing to listen to one short ad to get a free 2 minute call to exchange email with Palmtop.com. :-) That would give you approximately 2 free connects per day. Cheers!

The stock A/C adapter plug will not fit into the Station 100 base adequately without a major alteration of the base, itself. The standard A/C plug's connector barrel is too short to protrude far enough through the appropriate hole in the Station 100 base to allow a good connection with the HP200LX. I had allegedly finished the construction phase of the hotsync base the other day and have been evaluating how well it actually handled frequently sliding the HP200LX in and out of the base on a daily basis. The slide-in hotsync base seemed to be working great ... until my batteries got low. Today I found the screen on my HP200LX off while it was plugged into the hotsync base. When I pushed the "on" button I got a quick "beep beep", after which the screen immediately turned off again. I pulled the power plug out of the base and plugged it directly into my HP200LX. It then turned on with no problem, at all. The HP200LX's manual described this as a symptom of low batteries, so even though setup showed the main battery bar at half, I replaced the main batteries anyway. All is now fine again. I'm assuming that my PCMCIA modem's inactive power load was enough to trigger that behavior when the main battery bar display in Setup dropped down to just half. I'll put this project on a back burner for now, since my hotsyncs and backups are working fine right now without the base. At a later date, I'll pull it out again and try shaving the holder and hole for the A/C power plug a little larger so the plug barrel can protrude a little further out of that hole. I just hope that base's plug holder will be able to grip a smaller portion of the plug well enough to still hold it firmly in place. Cheers!

Both programs are open-source freeware and can be used by anyone for anything (including commercial use). For those of you who are not familiar with LXTCP and PNR, see the bottom of this message for more details. Note that some people have found LXTCP and PNR less than easy to set up (and this has not changed all that much in this version), so I recommend that if you want a user-friendly, well documented, commercial TCP/IP solution then you get WWW/LX or Goin' Postal (both of which are available from http://www.palmtop.net/super.html). Binaries and source code for both LXTCP and PNR can be downloaded from my Software Library: http://rwhitby.hplx.net/download.html (WWW/LX users: http://www.hplx.net/rwhitby/download.html) LXTCP (http://lxtcp.hplx.net/) has the following new features: 1/ All LXTCP utilities now look for a file called "LXTCP.CFG" instead of "WATTCP.CFG". Note that the format of the LXTCP.CFG file is backwards compatible with the old WATTCP.CFG file format, so you can use the same file for both LXTCP and other WatTCP applications. 2/ I've added some basic LXTCP.CFG configuration information to the lxtcp.doc file to make it easier to configure LXTCP applications. 3/ LXNNTP has new maxmsgs and newsrc directives. 4/ LXTCP now support passive connections (required for some firewalls). 5/ A new application: LXTELNET - allows multiple telnet sessions, and also contains an FTP server (which can now be password protected). 6/ The source code package contains the beginnings of a virtual web server (LXVWS), but it's still in the alpha stage - so it doesn't appear in the binaries-only package. PNR (http://pnr.hplx.net/) has the following new features: 1/ PNR now deletes any read news when you exit, and stores enough information about the unread news so that LXPOP and LXNNTP can add any newly downloaded messages to the unread news that was previously downloaded. This allows you to send replies or download a new batch of news before you have finished reading the news you already have on the palmtop. Many thanks to those who helped out during the beta testing period. -- LXTCP is a collection of freeware software programs for the HP200LX palmtop that provides clients (and sometimes servers) for various TCP/IP protocols (such as SMTP, POP, NNTP, FTP, TELNET, etc). Connectivity to the corresponding TCP/IP protocol servers or from the corresponding TCP/IP protocol clients is via one of the following mechanisms: a) a PPP connection via a serial cable b) a PPP connection via a PCMCIA or external modem c) a direct Ethernet connection via a PCMCIA ethernet card At the present time, six LXTCP programs are available. The LXTCPCFG program checks your configuration file, and (if you are using BOOTP) the response of your BOOTP server. The LXPING program checks your connectivity to other computers. The LXPOP program allows you to transfer mail between your SMTP/POP servers and your HP200LX (ready for an offline reader such as the Palmtop News Reader). The LXNNTP program allows you to transfer news between your NNTP server and your HP200LX (ready for an offline reader such as the Palmtop News Reader). The LXFTP program is an FTP client for the HP200LX with quite versatile scripting capabilities. The LXTELNET program is a TELNET client for the HP200LX with multiple session capability, and also serves as an FTP server. -- Palmtop News Reader (PNR) is an offline news & mail reader. It is capable of reading: MMDF format files created by LXPOP and LXNNTP Standard UNIX mailbox format files Bare format news files (which can be created via rn, tnr, tin, etc.). News & mail is imported to PNR via an external program called PNRTI (Palmtop News Reader Threader & Indexer), which interprets, indexes, threads, and removes killed articles from the news & mail files. PNR is System Manager compliant and is compatible with the HP200LX TCP/IP Development Kit (LXTCP). -- -- 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: Fri, 7 May 1999 08:12:33 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Andreas Garzotto Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Andreas Garzotto Subject: Re: Headers MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit dkemme@compuserve.com wrote: > I am using PostLX to access my compuserve POP 3 mail.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The HP 1000CX is a 200LX form unit that is identical to the 200LX in everyway, save one - the software bundle on the 200LX (Lotus 123, Pocket Quicken, etc.) is NOT included, is has DOS 5.0 and a form of LapLink, thats it. As I understand it, these were designed for vertical applications, where the bundled 200LX software was not needed. As for the PC110, it is a neat little 486SX/33 machine that can run many OSs (like Win95/98/NT, Linux, OS/2, etc.). It has a double PCMCIA adapter (2x Type II slots), a slot for Compact Flash, a nice little color screen, and a REALLY small keyboard! They are a bit pricey (for a complete set including the needed docking station, floppy drive and either a PCMCIA Type III HD or a BIG Compact Flash card I paid just under $800). Nice, fun little machines, but since the most useful applications involve moving parts (the HD), battery life is *vastly* shorter than a 100/200LX.

You could do something like: Step 1 - Run the LX => Outlook program. Step 2 - Run the starfish program to convert the Outlook stuff to REX format. Of course, this isn't automatic, but the main problem is: is it possible to run the Starfish program on the LX. I'd guess not. Might be easier to just write a little conversion program/script to move selected stuff from the LX to the REX, like, say, all phone items with a field checked and all appt's and todo's for the next week. Anyone interested out there in trying to write a conversion program? I've talked to people at Starfish and the were not very interested in sync'ing with the LX -- even after I told them they were missing on a good sized market. Perhaps if more of us do the same, they'd just spew something out or allow one of us to hook up to their sync-ing mechanism.

A clarification is in order Hi All, Here is a clip of my post that actually needs some clarification: --- I'm more than willing to listen to one short ad to get a free 2 minute call to exchange email with Palmtop.com. :-) That would give you approximately 2 free connects per day. --- That freeway free long distance service will sound a beep (heard only by you) when only 30 seconds is left of your free call. It's purpose is to serve as a gentle reminder that your time will be up in 30 seconds and to start wrapping up your conversation. I would suppose that the "friendly" beep could corrupt a data transfer if the transfer takes that long, so I'd recommend listening to 2 little ads instead of one before completing your call to Palmtop.com. The extra unused minutes would then be credited back to your account, thus not costing any more minutes than the other way, and you would prevent that "friendly" beep from sounding before the exchange is completed. :-) Now all I have to do is get this modem to work with palmtop.com... :-( Cheers!

We recently came by your product, the REX Organizer/TrueSync Plus and were absolutely amazed by its quality and number of features. Reading through your website, I came across the "Add-Ons" page, which talks about additional TrueSync Accessors. Noticing that there are no accessor for the HP200LX built-in applications, a few questions came to mind: a) Will there ever be an accessor written for the HP200LX? b) If not, how could someone -- working hand in hand with Starfish -- write such an accessor? Although it may not be obvious to the general public, the HP200LX followers are numerous and extremely knowledgeable in the high tech industry. No doubt that an accessor for the HP200LX would be viewed in a most favorable way and open your product to a new market. Best regards, Philippe Lewis Software Engineer Siebel Systems Inc.

Hi- BSE is probably the manufacturer. It came in a card-pack (like RadioShack components) with very short instructions on the back of the card. No other info included. Label just says "BSE Serial Port - General purpose Serial to Parallel Convertor". Haven't seen it advertised for a long time. Mine was from the late EduCalc. ACE Technology (sadly also gone now) also sold what appeared to be the same device. The only S-P convertors I see advertised now are 2 models from Greenwich (for the palmtops), and some generic convertors that will need adaptors to connect to the HP cable.

How can I tell if my HP 10Meg flashcard is able to be made bootable? Are there any dangers with attempting to do this? Any other comments? TIA Russell There is a webpage at by Rich L. Dubs, which deals with how to install a NATIVE version of Minix on the palmtop (vs. DOS-serviced Minix favored by Mack Bagette and others). It's a pretty convoluted reading..., but: The included ZIP archive on that website contains a specially modified WINI version for 100/200LX. This program has nothing to do with Microsoft, but it allows you to use DOS as a shoelace; to load other OS (like Linux, OS/2, other DOS, etc.) on top of itself and then get rid of DOS. In the end you will have native Minix / DRDOS6.0 / MS-DOS622 on your palmtop running as it should. Thus, it is indeed possible to use any version of DOS on the 200LX, not just MS-DOS 5.0. I have no idea, why this has never been tried! I use WINI on my desktop IBM PC/XT and it work flawlessly. IMO it'd be about 2 hours of work to test booting other DOS on HPLX. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 8 May 1999 13:36:02 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Longden_Loo@CANDLE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: pcmcia modem max current.

Correct! In the WELCOME file (remember that ;-) ) there suggested prefixes for posts to the list...Specifically, WinCE & Fluff are mentioned as TOPICS. I should probably add "OT" as many use that as "Off Topic" & WTB for "Wanted to Buy"...any other suggestions? Again, I don't think there is a need to define every message...the prefixes I suggested, ADMIN, TECH,etc...are just suggestions, but I will try to enforce WinCE, FS/WTB & Fluff TOPICS.

You can use any pic you want but the system wants to put the text and such over it even if you leave the info blank, I seem to remember that it puts some formatting stuff over the pic. You can turn your topcard on or off. But I seem to think that is not what you are after. If you setup the machine to use a different pic for the topcard, or just copy the same topcard to a different name, the system decides whether to put text on it or not dependent on the topcards name. If you name it "topcard" it will put text on it. If you name it anything else, it will just show the picture and not the owner and company type info over whatever picture you are using. Therefor, you can use the original picture or any other either with or without generated personal info text over it.... Does that explain it enough? There is also a nice changer out there called topcard.com that will pull a picture at random from a specified directory and put it where you direct with the name you direct. With this and a nightly automated appointment settings, I have a different picture each day. All from a directory of lots of pics that I downloaded and pics that I created in photoshop to the right size and bits. You can just open a copy of the original topcard in a paint program and get the info on it to create your own from any other picture out there.

I note that in the RFC for HTTP 1.1, the Internet Standards Board recommends that when HTTP 1.0 browsers are updated that they should at least support this new header. The "Host:" header is the only addition to HTTP 1.0 that they recommend that all browsers (including existing HTTP 1.0 browsers) should be modified to support. However, I understand that there is a technical reason why this may be difficult for WWW/LX - Andreas has posted either here or on news.hplx.net why this is so.

They also claim, that if I am experiencing a lot of connections problems, to try slowing down the connection speed further. Also Airtouch claims to have a special bank of modems that when you dial this prefix number, you get access to these modems that help make the wireless data transfer more effective & have less errors. I was never able to get that to work, I went round and round with them and gave up. Also I do not have my StarTac working correctly with APEX 33.6 Mobile Plus Cellular modem. I basically gave up on that. I had been in contact with APEX several times, with a tech. supt. person who uses a LX, and I think reads this list, but I was unable to get my problem resolved, so I gave up on that to. How it is supposed to work is no extra drivers or special software is needed to get the modem to work in the cell mode. You just plug the modem into your StarTac and fire away. Well when I use POST/LX to try to dial out, I usually get an error message that there is no dial tone. So I go into the Comm program in system manager and try to dial a number, and it will usually give me the same message. How I end up getting the LX to dial out is shut off the LX, take out the modem, unplug the modem cable from the modem & the phone, and then put them all back together, then try again. I usually have to do this several times, and then with some unpredictable pattern, it will let me dial out. Then I quickly hurry and exit the Comm program, and go into POST/LX and dial out without any problems. My wife and I both have the same phones, and I have tried both, so I know it is not my phone. The last conversation I had with the APEX rep was he felt the LX was powering down the PCMCIA port, which was probably causing my problems. He did offer to replace the modem to see if that was the problem. I don't use the cell connection very often, so I really did not feel like frying any more brain cells trying to further diagnose the problem. I really would like to have it fixed, but I don't know what to do next. I pay an extra $10 a month to have unlimited weekends with Airtouch, so I can get online for no extra fees on the weekend, but if I an somewhere that I don't have access to a landline, I is most likely not to have an AC outlet, so I would have the LX of batteries. I have done this a few times to go and get my email, and I will get a low battery message from a fresh set of NI-MH's or alkaline's in about 30 minutes, even though after letting the batteries rest a while they will still work for a long time. I hope you have better luck getting your device talking than I have. One last thing I got my cell cable from Mobile Planet, and it was like $60, for just a little cable with two ends, what a rip!

I'll bite. For years prior to using my LX, I used a paper planner. I started out with the Franklin Planner, because G.M. used to pay for the refills. Then as a cost cutting measure, they quit paying for the refills, and I started using a less expensive brand refill, which was available at the local office supply store. Even though I was using a non-Franklin brand refill, I always used the Franklin brand binders. The are very expensive, but really are well made. When I got my LX I tried many different way of carring it with me at all times. I stumbled upon a Franklin compact sport case when I visited a local Franklin store. What the compact sport case does is allows me to put my franklin binder inside of the zippered nylon case, to keep every thing together. It also has a pouch inside that the LX fits into perfectly. I still use the binder to organize all my personal stuff. I keep inside it photos, note paper, graph paper, post it notes, checkbook, credit cards, laser pointer, pen & pencil set, highlighter, stick eraser, band aids, asprin, PCMCIA fax/modem, extra flash cards, modem cables (cell & land line), extra batteries, and lots more stuff. The sport pack comes in more than one size, and the smallest (compact) is the size I use. It also come with a strap that allows it to be carried like a purse, or worn like a fanny pack. I find that with all the stuff I carry in it, wearing it like a fanny pack is too much stick out the side or rear of me, so I usally were it like a purse. I have four daughters, and they give me a hard time when I ask one of them to go get my purse, they always tell me it is not a purse, it is your planner. Call it what you want, it works, and women have been well organized for years because of it. I would be lost with out it, in fact I keep my car keys in the outer zippered pouch, just so that I am not without it! Franklin really had a great idea here. They have some really neat stuff at the Franklin store, and any office supply store to help one stay organized. Hope this long winded message can help someone.

The "pop-out" mouse is a clever idea, but I don't like re-calibrating it each time I power-up my notebook. To be fair, I haven't worked with the OmniBook "extensively," so my opinion may change over time - but I will admit that the "pop-out" mouse is a close second to a full-size mouse when you are at a table/desk and will do extensive work... Speaking of full-size mice, CompUSA was selling full-size 3 button notebook mice (with a 2 foot cord) and a small carry bag for about $5 - it is a nice Logitech unit, I got several...

It can convert *any* measure to *any other* compatible measure (Bill Wickes' favourite example was Barne-megaParsecs to Furlongs per fortnight) and has virtually infinite room for user-defined units. It also carries, and resolves, units through calculations. Think of the 200LX solver on steroids! It has much more flexible time and alarm functions *built-in*. There's none of your puny 20-40 hr. battery life - it's an order of magnitude better. Built-in plotting of graphs, charts, solutions in 2 or 3-d. It's a much better form factor for hand-held use (vertical, not horizontal). RPN or Algebraic entry of problems (and programs). Considering your somewhat obvious down on MS, it isn't a Microsoft OS like the 200LX uses. The only reason I use the 200 more than my 48(s) is that I keep my book list on the database and my current odd-moment reading for VR. I have less need for the conversions and solutions than I used to. Actually, if it had a bigger screen, I might still be using my '41CX. I wouldn't dream of carrying any of them in my shirt pocket though; especially the 200LX (for those of us who buy off-the-rack shirts there's no room in the pocket for anything else - even a PC card).

I created a key on the desktop machine, and imported my old key.. However, my old key cannot be made the default key, I haven't looked into it a great deal, but does anyone know off the top of their head of an RSA key can be made the default key in PGP 6.x? None the less, our communications back and forth from palmtop to PC had no problem, he signed a message, I imported it, verified, etc.. If anyone is interested, I have updated LXPGP a bit, just gotta test it some more, got a few new features, my favorite is one-step updating of a file. Updating being decrypting, editing, then encrypting. I keep a password list and some other 'secure' notes on the palmtop I edit frequently and it's handy to have this ability. I'm still working on the best way to do it, currently manually entering the passphrase both times, I'm considering entering it first then passing it to PGP to make things more automated. Anyway..

The setting you are refering to is just to tell it where to find the config.sys and autoexec.bat. The OS files still come from the internal drive no matter what. What the other poster was refering to is a bootstrap program that runs after dos is started. There has been one for linux for years called loadlin. This allows you to boot dos and type a command line that starts another OS (linux in loadlin's case) and transfers control to this other OS. There is nothing really special about running an OS this way, all that is needed is to identify what needs to be loaded where and then transfer control via a jump command. After the new OS is running it doesn't know that another OS was running and it uses the space occupied by the former OS in memory for its own purposes. Pete Peter W.

Yes, QRAM can create a 64KB High RAM area. It seems that it does. But afterwards, if config.sys tries to highload a driver, or if it wants to use the HMA, it tells me 'corrupted High RAM'. Perhaps it needs an option, because there is not standard RAM in the LX.

DOS boots regardless. 1-2 let you decide which config.sys/autoexec files to use. choices 4-6 will just make one of these drives the default drive but just goes to dos prompt without processing config.sys and autoexec. choice 7 probably looks to see if a: drive has config.sys. if it does it ri=uns it from a:. If not it checks c: and d:. I think the only method to boot another DOS is to use the same method for minix. You need to use a boot loader like the 'loadlin.exe' boot loader in linux. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 10 May 1999 16:09:27 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Owen Samuelson Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Owen Samuelson Subject: Re: does my 200lx is Y2K compatible?

No fear of flexing the little stalk too much or having to grip the mouse while also trying to push the buttons. I had to replace the mouse on my 300 because the conductive strips cracked on the stalk that connects the mouse to the computer. Remember the ideal is NO MOVING PARTS and trackpoints and glidepads come a lot closer to that goal than a mouse on a stick. I just thought of a name for the omnibook mouse on a stick, a mousey-pop, like a lolypop but the stick is shoved up a mouse, ouch. :-) Pete PS. It is no suprise to me that HP dropped the mousey-pop and that it is the single LEAST copied feature on any laptop, kind of makes you think, doesn't it? If you like it more power to you but I somehow don't think it was one of HP's greatest successes (the mousey-pop not the omnibooks themselves, they are pretty nice.

Setting something as the default drive and processing startup files is NOT the same as booting off of the drive. There are not many computers that can boot off of a pcmcia device. The LX's do not read the boot sector from the pcmcia device and they do not read the system files from the pcmcia device, they just "process the startup files", ie autoexec.bat and config.sys. As you say choice 7 looks for the config.sys file, but by that time the system files are already loaded and running, it is too late to boot from the device, you have already booted. This is different from a desktop or other computer that looks for a bootable device in some order. I can set my desktop to try the floppy, then the cdrom and finally the HD but it is not just looking for the config.sys file, it is looking for a bootable OS. In my desktop example it checks for the existance of a floppy, if none is loaded it checks for the existance of a cdrom, then finally it goes to the HD. If I have a non-bootable floppy the system complains until I remove it. If the LX was actually trying to boot from the pcmcia card then it would hang or complain since the pcmcia card is not bootable. Pete Peter W.

Normally, WP will do this automatically, but if you import a DOS text file with CRLF after each line, then it will not work. I don't think WordPerfect has an automated feature for removing hard returns (not sure "Hard returns" are correct WP terminology), in any case I've never found it. What I always do/did is search for and replace it with nothing (ie delete all hard returns) this usually works, but will give problems if you search through more than one paragraph.

I believe it tries to remove hard returns as an option when you import the file. There are two ways to import a DOS Text file in the menu: DOS Text (CR/LF to HRt) DOS Text (CR/LF to SRt) Supposedly, CR/LF to SRt will yank in a text file and convert the paragraph CR/LFs to SRt (soft return) characters, but leave the double CR/LFs or ÝCR¨ÝLF¨ÝTab¨ combos as HRt (hard return). This doesn't work too well for me, even in WordPerfect 8, although WordPerfect 8 seems to do a better job of it than 5.1. I wrote a C program a year or two ago to do basically the same thing: strip out CR/LF combos unless there were two in a row, or unless they were immediately followed by a tab or at least three spaces. It worked reasonably well. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 10 May 1999 21:16:11 +0930 Reply-To: rwhitby@hplx.net Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Rod Whitby Subject: Re: Announce: LXTCP 1.1 and PNR 3.1 released Comments: To: John Musielewicz John Musielewicz writes: > Can LXNNTP handle multiple news servers?

With any luck, there will be an additional between paragraphs. In that case, search for , and replace it with a string such as zzz which does not exist in the document. Then, replace all the remaining 's with nothing (or with a space, if its needed.) When that's done, go back and replace all the zzz's with , and you are done, without having to do it a paragraph at a time. (Doesn't work with poetry, though.) Cordially, Lynn M.

The comments offered so far are fine, so far as they go, but miss the fact that Pine's justify command will also handle quoted material (e.g., text with leading "> " characters).

I just bought a new 64 MB Palmtop from Thaddeus and now the screen is broken at the right hinge. This has always been harder to open than my old Palmtop (circa 1995), and I noticed it was cracked near the hinge Sunday Morning. When I was called into work that night I decided to leave my Palmtop home - bad mistake. My oldest son (aged 7) was angry that I was leaving him for work and decided to modify the right hinge - he smashed it on the ground and broke it completely off. Now I'm having to revert back to my 'old' 5MB unit. What I would like is some suggestions - first, how to fix it. I don't think I can fix it with the peices that I have left. Even if I had all the pieces, I don't think Super-Glue would work. I think mostly my problem is a logistics problem. I live in Indonesia, somewhat near Singapore. Is there a place in Singapore that has, and can repair upgraded Palmtops? (My wife will be going through Singapore on her way to Phuket, Thailand on Saturday). If that can't work out, where is the best place to get it fixed in the States? (We have a guy headed back in a few days, and I could probably get him to hand carry it.) The other suggestion I would like is what to do with our son. A $1,000 Palmtop is not worth as much as he is, but I want to emphasize to him that his behavior is inappropriate - more than inappropriate.

What I would probably do, assuming you're comfortable opening it, is swap the motherboards between units. That way you'll have your good unit with the 64MB motherboard in it. All you have to do is unscrew the bottom part of the case, remove it, unclip the video cable from the motherboard, and lift it out. Then reverse the procedure to put it back in. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 11 May 1999 23:29:56 +0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Anand Rao Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Anand Rao Subject: Re: Date resetting to 01-01-1980 - files as requested Comments: To: Longden_Loo@candle.com In-Reply-To: <8825676E.004A8AA0.00@n-smtpmta.candle.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Here they are - sans the comment lines.

My only other suggestions: 1) Run the built-in ram test: - close all your applications - turn the LX off - press and hold ESC and ON - select the RAM test and press ENTER (DON'T do the test for "Plug-in RAM card") - presumably if there's a RAM problem, a message will tell you so...test should last just a few minutes. 2) Backup your C drive and completely reset the LX by removing AA and backup batteries, and hold the ON key for about a minute to drain the system. Sorry I don't have any other suggestions. I've had this happen before, but it usually happens while running a funky DOS program of some sort... if this is your problem you may have to forgo your DOS apps for a few days and re-introduce them one by one until you see the problem again. I've never had this happen to me using just the built-in apps. - Longden Anand Rao on 05/11/99 08:29:56 AM To: Longden Loo/WL/Candle@Candle, HPLX Mailing List cc: Subject: Re: Date resetting to 01-01-1980 - files as requested Here they are - sans the comment lines.

Regarding your son...you're right that the behavior was inappropriate... on the bright side at least he did it for a reason.

I just bought a new 64 MB Palmtop from Thaddeus and now the screen is broken at the right hinge. This has always been harder to open than my old Palmtop (circa 1995), and I noticed it was cracked near the hinge Sunday Morning. When I was called into work that night I decided to leave my Palmtop home - bad mistake. My oldest son (aged 7) was angry that I was leaving him for work and decided to modify the right hinge - he smashed it on the ground and broke it completely off. Now I'm having to revert back to my 'old' 5MB unit. What I would like is some suggestions - first, how to fix it. I don't think I can fix it with the peices that I have left. Even if I had all the pieces, I don't think Super-Glue would work. I think mostly my problem is a logistics problem. I live in Indonesia, somewhat near Singapore. Is there a place in Singapore that has, and can repair upgraded Palmtops? (My wife will be going through Singapore on her way to Phuket, Thailand on Saturday). If that can't work out, where is the best place to get it fixed in the States? (We have a guy headed back in a few days, and I could probably get him to hand carry it.) The other suggestion I would like is what to do with our son. A $1,000 Palmtop is not worth as much as he is, but I want to emphasize to him that his behavior is inappropriate - more than inappropriate. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 11 May 1999 16:44:48 GMT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Russel Brooks Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Russel Brooks Subject: Re: Date resetting to 01-01-1980 - files as requested MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit > CONFIG.SYS > buffers=20 Since the disks on the LX are already RAM disks is there any benefit to using more RAM to 'buffer' the disk accesses?

Disk access is slower (than internal RAM) on some PC cards so the buffering should make a difference for cards (tho not nearly to the extent as for a mechanical drive). Other than that, there's also the fact that repeat accesses to the same disk sector are picked up more readily from the buffer without the overhead of file handling operations for disk. OTOH, if the type of work you do doesn't involve repeat operations on the same disk area, buffering may not help you much. I'm not sure if BUFFERS is also used as a "look ahead" buffer, but if it is then it would help most read operations, tho YMMV depending on which RAM you were going after (card vs internal). - Longden Russel Brooks on 05/11/99 09:44:48 AM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to Russel Brooks To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/WL/Candle) Subject: Re: Date resetting to 01-01-1980 - files as requested > CONFIG.SYS > buffers=20 Since the disks on the LX are already RAM disks is there any benefit to using more RAM to 'buffer' the disk accesses?

Hi Paul_Stratton, I don't have the anwser to your question, but instead a suggestion.

I can't offer any suggestions about solving the stated problem (beyond what has already been suggested), but I do have a couple of suggestions to help you survive while you are working it out. You say you are backing up you LX every day. I would suggest that you write a small backup batch file that will copy all your frequently accessed files from c: to somewhere on the A: drive, and run that batch file once an HOUR. That way you will only be out an hour's work and will have a better idea of what files you touched in the last hour. The batch script will only take a few seconds to run (YMMV) and you can set the system timer to remind you every hour or so. Another interim suggestion is to do most of your work on the A; drive. It will be a little slower, but if A is unaffected by the problem, then you will be that much more secure. And this might actually help you isolate the problem.

HIMEM.SYS accesses this through the use of the A20 address line on 286 and above processors. The 186 doesn't have an A20 line, so HMA is impossible. Upper memory blocks (UMB) are created on the 386 and above (by EMM386.EXE) by remapping memory to appear in the upper memory areas (or in some cases by activating shadow RAM). This uses the protected mode of the X86 CPU to intercept memory accesses to the upper memory regions and redirect them to some other memory. Unless the Hornet chip has the remapping capability to place memory into the UMB, there cannot be UMB's on the 200LX. It has some remapping obviously, but what its limits are, and how to access it are unknown to me. This would be extremely specific to the Hornet chip. QRAM seems to be fooled by the fact that 186's have a 286 instruction set except for the protected mode stuff.

As far as I know this topic is not covered in the FAQ. And therefore this attempt to consolidate all related ideas to help anyone who has this problem in the future. The problem as faced by me, and a few other who have responded, is: 1. Data files get corrupted spontaneously and refuse to load under the applications concerned. 2. GARLIC does not fix these problems. 3. Executable files too get corrupted and show garbled characters on the screen upon execution. I have had this happen to pkzip.exe as well as the built-in apps. The size of the executable files does not change, though. 4. CHKDSK /F does not fix this problem. It detects no errors. 5. The only way out is to do a hard reset (CTRL+SHIFT+ON) and re-load data files from the back-up. The feedback from Thaddeus is that this is not likely a hardware problem. Therefore, two possibilities remain - software and usage. I have received some suggestions to handle these situations. These are summarised below, with a few comments from my side. After they are refined by feedback from all the experts, we may want to include them in the excellent FAQ maintained at www.hplx.net/faq.faq.html . 1. Switch the unit off - before inserting or removing PCMCIA cards - before turning on or off the AC power supply - whenever it is not being actually used(do I need to then sacrifice the excellent HPALARM program that I run all the time?) 2. Close all application before returning to DOS to run DOS programs, specially new ones. It would appear that some of these programs could be corrupting data file contents in-situ. However, I'm not sure if this completely prevents file corruption. 3. Close applications as soon as you have finished with them. This is tedious, and time consuming if we have to open it again. Does it really provide the protection needed? 4. Keep data files on PCMCIA drives. This is extremely slow. 5. Make sure that the batteries always maintain good charge. Based on feedback from experienced users, we may be able to develop 'Best Practices' or "Recommended Practices' for this and include them in FAQ. Similarly, can we also work on best practices for data back-ups? With several units having 32MB-64MB RAM, the vast magnitude of data stored would necessitate that proper back-ups are taken. It is easy to run a script to copy *.?db files to a safe location as frequently as one desires. The real problems are: - How does one proactively detect that there is a data corruption lurking somewhere? - Having discovered a problem, how does one recover from it? It may be the case that the last good back-up of a file is 5 days old, and one does not recollect readily the updates made since then. If you can tell me what back-ups procedures you use, I can edit the responses and prepare something useful for possible inclusion in the FAQ. Thank you for your attention (this message is even bigger than some of the program files attached previously on this list) and thanks for all your help.

The next time you experience problems you run the program again and it will tell you which files have been changed and possibly corrupted.

This has always been one of my pet peeves and perhaps my greatest incentive to program something for the LX. It desperately needs a simple program that will check the integrity of a given database. GUI and fixing the problems would be nice touches, but detection is the immediate need. A change in jobs recently hasn't given me anymore time to tinker..oh well, 20 years to retirement and then we'll see . This is a program that even I (gasp) would pay for (don't ask me how much). > Having discovered a problem, how does one recover from it? It may be the > case that the last good back-up of a file is 5 days old, and one does not > recollect readily the updates made since then. Everyone has their own solution for this. usually using incremental backups, with some people tracking data back for years. To me this is rock solid, but a bit more work and resources than I'd like to commit when a simple nightly detection or scan of the databases might just tell me (or my backup program) that something's amiss. Improving Garlic or any other data recovery program that tries to salvage a corrupted database can only do so much when the data is trash.. GIGO remember? Better to fix the problem farther upstream...methinks. Maybe the reason this hasn't made it to the FAQ is because no one yet has a simple FAQ-able solution. No one wants to load the FAQ with dire warnings otherwise, and include 15 different suggestions. - Longden ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 13 May 1999 07:39:20 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Longden_Loo@CANDLE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: Fluff: Americanisms?

There came a utility called "wear" with the card. In the manual it is said, that one should call the wear program from time to time to improve the lifetime of the card. Whenever I called the wear-program in the five years it always stated "card does not need wear leveling". Did ever someone's card need wear leveling (whatever it is)?

I agree that I would even pay for this program considering its utility. While no one is likely to get wealthy on these payments from you, me and others and therefore this may not be sufficient monetary motivation to a developer, I could alternatively donate the amount to the developer's favourite charity.

However, the backup battery is in pristine condition. Even while removing all batteries to completely reset the unit, the backup battery goes out first before the alkalines and comes in last. Therefore, I believe I am not drawing power from them. Anand.

I *think* the international version of 6.0.2 (www.pgpi.com) makes RSA keys but I won't commit to that. There is a web page that goes through each version since 2.6.2 and tells their compatibility issues.

A pixel's state in the next cycle depends on the states of the four neighboring pixels in this cycle. These programs are meant to be run in video mode 6. PSEUDO2 and PSEUDO4 are stand alone programs. PSEUDO2 starts with vertical lines to make "carpet patterns". PSEUDO4 starts with the center two pixels on to make "diamonds". PSEUDO3 needs an external setup to provide mode 6 and something on the screen. It can actually use mode 4 or 5, but things are a little different there. Stefan Peichl's Caarpet Designer was the start of this silly- ness. I thought I could take an old program I wrote for my Z-100 and translate it to use CGA graphics and be small enough to squeek by the no binaries limit. Say about 250 - 300 bytes. Well after the usual dull thuds, I brute forced a working program. Oops, too big now. I can e-mail a copy of these if someone out there wants to watch a 200LX blink a lot.

Jeff, I hate to disagree with you, but don't you think that the stopping of corporal punishment might not be the real reason for the "mess"? I know a very large number of people who haven't been subjected to corporal punishment and have turned out fine. It's very easy to say that corporal punishment is the answer to the world's problems, but then the death penalty was supposed to be the ultimate answer to crime. Perhaps if people paid more attention to the causes of kids' wrongdoings, rather than the punishments... > I now return everyone to some LX related subjects.... but the one about = the > crackhead was related 'cause Mack was wirelessly surfung the web with = his LX > in the patrol car when the event happened :) Oh yes...

And if it is possible... any volunteers?! Since VR is not a TSR, I assume you are looking to write a different one which would behave like a TSR. Technically I believe it is feasible. It would just load either before WWW.EXE or on the first invocation from post.exe. I think that the idea is technically possible. Consider the wisdom of having a TSR sitting all the time in memory while WWW/LX Plus is running. The latter requires as much room as you can give it. If you use the TSR heavily, it may pay off, otherwise it may just be another memory restriction. Maybe there is a way for the TSR to somehow remove itself, then it may become functional. One thing I am not excited about is having to shift the palmtop in my hand from horizontal to vertical position constantly - I think this will also make the idea somewhat less tasty :-)...

The last time I posted that the group that worked on this project has basically disbanded for now due to the crisis in their home countries and in their businesses. I am sad to say this has not changed. We were looking at putting together a sequel machine, much along the line of a post by Lyn Cavendish a long-long time ago which outlined a terrific machine mythically called the 260LX. Lyn posted this when HP announced the HP 360LX (Wince). the 260 stuff was simply a spoof, but the more we read it, them more we felt that this could be a great machine to create as a sequel. That was the inspiration. The panle of computer companies executives I contacted seemd to think there was merit to a machine like that. Quite a bit of work was done, but mostly we agreed to not release many details. Unfortunately, this is at a standstill and looks like it will be like this for some time to come. Hopefully there will be enough left in this market to justify doing something when the crisis is over in the Asian economies. Well, sorry to not bear better news. Avi M.

I asked them a few questions and here's the FAQ response they sent me. This FAQ answers most questions not answered on their web site... -- John L. Stanley Sr. Software Engineer - ADDCO Inc. -----Original Message----- From: Elexia Reynolds Ýmailto:EReynolds@broadpoint.com¨ Sent: Monday, May 10, 1999 10:59 AM To: 'Stanley, John L.' Subject: RE: Query regarding FreeWay service Thank you for your email. Here is a list of answers to your question(s), and others that FreeWay members most commonly ask. Please let us know if you have any additional questions or comments, and thank you for your support! BroadPoint Member Services 1. How long does it take to receive a PIN? BroadPoint is committed to providing the benefits of the FreeWay service to as many people as possible, and as quickly as possible. However, as with any successful new product or service, consumer demand may cause a delay between the time that you submit an application, and the time that you are activated for and able to use the service. Although we are unable to give you a specific time that it takes for you to receive your PIN, please be assured that we will do everything within our power to activate you as soon as possible. 2. What are the rates/charges after I have used my "free" minutes? With FreeWay, you never pay a bill for the free calls that you earn. Approximately 30 seconds before the free time you have earned on FreeWay has elapsed, you will hear a tone alerting you that the talk time is ending, allowing you to wrap up the conversation. When the 30 seconds has expired, your call will be ended. If you want to continue the call by using FreeWay, simply dial the toll free number again and listen to another set of messages. (A quick tip: Many people make sure that they listen to more than enough messages at the beginning of their call so that they won't run short of time). Alternatively, you can call them back on your existing phone service. Please note that in that case, you will be billed by your phone company at your existing rate for that second call. Since most people use FreeWay for only a portion of their long distance calls, you will still receive a bill from your existing long distance carrier for any calls you make using that service. In summary, as long as you are dialing the FreeWay toll free number, entering your PIN, and listening to messages, you will never receive a bill for that call. 3. Is there a way that I can "save" minutes and use them for a later call? At this time, any minutes that you earn are used in the call, even if you end the call before you use up all of your earned minutes. In the future, you may have the ability to save minutes for use on a later call. 4. Will I be able to use Freeway to make international calls? At this present time Freeway can only be used within the United States. However, soon we will extend FreeWay to include free international, wireless (cellular and PCS) and even video-telephone calling. Stay tuned! 5. Do I have to change long distance carriers now that I have signed up for Freeway? No, there is no need to change long distance carriers now that you have signed up for FreeWay. Most people use FreeWay to supplement their existing long distance service, using it for a portion of their long distance calls. Whenever you want to use FreeWay, simply dial the toll free number (1-877-FREEWAY) from any phone (at home or on the road) and follow the simple prompts. 6. Should everyone in the household have their own Personal Identification Number? Yes, everyone in the household must have their own PIN. The information that you give in your profile will be used to select advertisements that reflect your hobbies and interests. In this way, the advertisements you hear will be very interesting and potentially valuable to you. In addition, to ensure the continued success of FreeWay, we need to be sure that advertisers can be sure that they are delivering messages to the proper subscribers. 7. Can I use FreeWay when traveling or do I have to use my home phone? FreeWay is ideal for the traveler. You can use Freeway from any phone in the United States, including pay phones. Just dial the toll free access number (1-877-FREEWAY) and follow the simple prompts. It's that easy!! 8. Does Freeway share my personal information with other companies? No company other than BroadPoint will gain access to your profile information without your consent. The information will be used exclusively to deliver messages that are as relevant and interesting as possible for you. BroadPoint takes our relationship with our members very seriously, and will not violate your trust. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 14 May 1999 14:57:48 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Ness Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Ness Subject: Re: Carrying the 200LX Comments: To: Anand Rao MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I don't have a TI-85, but on the 48/200 issue let me say that IMO the 200 is a _lousy_ `calculator'.

How do you know when the CRC/checksum difference reflects an accidental change (ie corruption), or deliberate change...such as when you look up or update a database? In fact, how will this help if the application you were using to access the database did the corrupting? Does this approach require you to review a list (daily) of all files that changed since the day before? If it does then it's more work than I'd like to do, and I'd still be holding out for a more directed utility that will not only report a corruption, but also spell out some details (type of corruption, record # where it was detected, first 20 bytes of the record, etc.)....all info that a good utility should already know once it finds something wrong with a database.

But unfortunately it seems, > that it won't work The 200LX has some non-standard stuff going on in the address space between 640K and 1MB. There are the special bank switching areas for the eXecute-In-Place (XIP) ROM's and some more bank switching stuff for the reast of the internal RAM which is accessed as the C: drive. There is no "real" RAM in the address range that the QRAM program is able to grab and use for itself. Regular 8086 or 286 PC's with 1 MB of RAM will have some unclaimed RAm up in that area, but not the palmtop. If you add it up, 640K of low DOS RAM + 1.3MB of C: drive = 2MB of RAM, so there can't be any in that upper memory area.

The few times that I was confronted with data-corruption, it was because of this fact. When I have a data-base open and start 123, I know my database is corrupt the moment I get the message 'Not enough memory to run this application, please close...'. When I use this database I am confronted with illegal records when I step downwards OR when I step upwards through the records. Some of these databases I keep on my PCMCIA-card. So I got used to close everything prior to starting 123, and to keep very frequent (external) backups. :) I have a non-accelerated 1 Mb HP200lx Daniel Kropveld -- http://www.xs4all.nl/~kropveld/signature.html ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 14 May 1999 20:05:43 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , lloo@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: POST/LX question (again) Message-Id: <19990515000541.BXND13441@Ý12.72.161.225¨> Date: Sat, 15 May 1999 00:05:41 +0000 Hi all.

This version has an option to modify existing Outlook contacts with the same name, instead of always creating new contacts. This might get closer to a "synchronize" function. It's also much better at setting up defaults for mapping fields between the two. I'm also wondering how it would be logically possible to do a true sync - does anyone know a scheme to figure out which records are the newest changes from each database, so I can store the newest version of each contact in both databases? By the way, Outlook has a "Last Modified" field which tells the date/time the contact was modified most recently. thanks, Curtis Cameron ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 14 May 1999 23:09:43 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Mitchell Hamm (N8XS)" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Mitchell Hamm (N8XS)" Subject: Dayton & HPLXers Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii If you are going to be at Dayton tomorrow and want to say howdy, I will be monitoring 438.300 pl 88.5 (and a few others).

When I've written programs for the LX, I've always been very careful to make sure they behave nicely, and don't write to memory locations where they're not supposed to. I stay away from dynamic memory declarations entirely. However, I think with programs written to be run on a regular DOS PC, those programs might have problems which might not even show up on a "normal" (for 10 years ago) PC with only one application running at a time. I would bet that this is a fairly common corruption mechanism for the LX files. The program writes over some memory locations which are being used to hold data in the built-in apps, then those apps save corrupted data to files. --=20 Curtis Cameron ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 14 May 1999 23:50:22 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , John J Vanderstel Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: John J Vanderstel Subject: Re: Freeway Hi Goe, Scott and All, Goe wrote: --- That won't work outside of the US, right? --- You are correct.

I sure hope that the connection wouldn't be cut if one first waits for palmtop.com to pick up the line before allowing the HP200LX's modem to establish the modem connection. I would not suggest trying to automate the responses to questions about the ads and when to attempt the connection. The ads are their bread and butter. Besides, the ads are short but do vary in length, making it rather difficult to automate with a script, anyway. Did you dial the number manually and wait for the other end to pickup the line first? I've personally used Freeway for voice calls, but due to recent unforeseen circumstances, I haven't yet had the opportunity to actually try using Freeway to access Palmtop.com. Hmmm.... that makes me wonder if the Freeway long distance service would actually interpret answering modem tones as a busy signal and then automatically cut the connection... I initially sent my formatted "request for account" email to Freeway via a regular long distance call with my HP200LX, but I haven't yet had the opportunity to check whether they have actually established my CC:Mail account yet, due to a death in the family. My plan was to wait until after a normal call to pick up mail that indicated that they had already established and activated my account, and then look into how to make a manual connection with CC:Mail so I could then connect through the Freeway long distance service for routine mail exchanges. Due to current circumstances, I haven't yet been able to check on the status of my new account at Palmtop.com... much less figure out how to do a manual dial with CC:Mail. You've brought up a very good question, Scott. If you or anyone else who has a Freeway account has the chance to actually check this out before I do, please post your findings right away.

The ideal scenario would be: (a) As soon as you modify a record and save it by pressing F10, the whole record is also written into another file, preferably a phone file. A new file can be started each month to keep this file small. (b) In case of any suspected data corruption, or even otherwise, merge records from this new file into the pristine copy of the phone.pdb file which is kept in a safe place. I could not figure out of a way to transfer the selected record to another pdb file ( I tried the copy+paste and extract functions). The best I came up with is: Save the record on the phone application as usual using F10, and then run the following Macro: {Menu}ec{Memo}{f9}c:\_dat\ph9905.doc{F10}##{Enter}{Date} {Time}{Enter}{Menu}ep{Enter}{Enter}{F10}{phone} This macro copies the record, opens the file ph9905.doc (my naming convention for phone files updated in May, 1999), puts the separator"##", puts the date and time stamps, and copies the record. This file will have all newly added and updated records in the reverse chronological order. In case of corruption to the phone.pdb file this file can be scanned for possible missing/garbled information. Please ensure that the current smart clip contains all fields otherwise all data will not be copied over. On my single speed machine I did not find the speed to be a problem ( I would rather do this than to suffer the root-canal treatment of data file reconstruction). Over to the experts for comments, suggestions .... There was a mention earlier that Buddy can be used to re-map the F10 key to do execute this macro automatically. In that case one does not have to remember to run this macro separately after pressing F10. Thanks to everyone for their help.

These buffers are used when reading the FAT and reading directory file clusters. In other words, by having some buffers to cache with, DOS operates more efficiently because it has to do less work to get stuff. And with the 80186 processor, the less CPU cycles it takes to accomplish something, the better. Besides, if you don't have a BUFFERS= line, then DOS just uses the default which is 5 or 10, I can't remember which.

I got it mostly to check email when I travel, but I also wanted to use it to easily carry a backup of my smaller electronic organizer data with me. The organizer is a Sharp YO-350, and the companion backup software marketed by Sharp is called Organizer Link 390 (OL390), a program which works nicely in dos on my W95 machine. I have transferred the OL390 files into the '200, and I can run the program on the palmtop, however I cannot get the organizer and the palmtop to talk to each other. I have gone into the 200's Setup/Communications screen, and enabled com1 Port in dos, set the IO Address to 03F8, and the interrupt to 4, which I understand are more or less standard settings for com1 (I'm not exactly a computer whiz, but I CAN follow directions if they're reasonably clear)! The OL390 software goes through the install process, and I have let it automatically select the correct port to use on the 200, however when I go to transfer data, I keep getting an I/O error. I have also tried selecting different ports manually in the OL390 setup but with no success. OL390 cannot communicate with the organizer. I have run the OL390 software under dos in my W95 desktop machine, and it installs & transfers data fine. The only consistent response I receive when I try to transfer data with the 200 is a beep and the screen msg: "Communications Failure". The connection between the '200 and the organizer is made with the F1015A cable and the level converter box that must be used to mate with the organizer's connnector. I used the same F1015A cable to transfer the files to the 200, and I've checked the continuity of all lines with an ohmmeter, so feel reasonably confident it is in good condition. The level converter works fine when connected to the desktop computer. It appears I'm missing something, but I'm at a loss as to what it is; if any of you more experienced 200 users out there have any suggestions/ideas, I'd really appreciate hearing from you. I've had the 200 about a week, and this experience is driving me nuts!

You can verify it, by way of an extreme example, by archiving all appointments more than one day old. There could be some corruption in your data/index. I have reason to believe that a corrupted data file (phone.pdb in my case) can corrupt other files on the c: drive just by running the corresponding application. This happened on my machine which was 'hard reset' and with no other external programs loaded. After I sanitised my phone file by the Garlic treatment I have had no problems in the past few days. Therefore, my suggestion is to attend to data file problems ASAP, lest the corruptions cascade on. Anand.

When I tried the transfer WITHOUT the Null Modem Adapter, the 200 would beep, and a screen message "Communications failure" comes up whenever the organizer screen indicated an I/O error, indicating SOMETHING was getting through to the 200. When I inserted the Null Modem Adapter, still had the same failure, but no beep from the 200, which leads me to believe it wasn't helping the situation. 2. >Also, make sure that in setup on the hp, you have SERIAL port ON in dos >- it is one of the settings somewhere in there.

Presumably you are referring to the check-box in the comm setup screen, right below the fields where you set the IO address and interrupt (?) It reads "Enable Com1 Port in DOS". I have the box checked and the IO address set to 03F8, Interrupt 4. I am running the OL390 program from the dos prompt after I quit the Application Manager, (from the applications screen, "Menu" key, "Applications", and "Termintate all") so it shouldn't be interfering. I tried to transfer data many times (20 maybe), and about 3 times Iwas able to get a transfer to work. Thinking perhaps there was a bad connection between the two units, I checked them out, then tried again, but no luck. I then thought perhaps the batteries were low (nicads) so I replaced those batteries wtih fresh alkalines (1.6 volts each), but that didn't help matters either. Finally I plugged in the AC Adapter (disabled charging first!), but it didn't help the situation either. Thinking again that the connector attached to the organizer might be flaky, I hooked it up to the desktop pc, ran OL390 on it, and transferred files flawlessly from the organizer...even jiggled the connectors while transferring to see if I could abort it...but it worked fine. Ed Keefe responded: >You'll need a null modem adaptor (and maybe a gender changer, but I'm not >sure of that) since the cable you're using is already set up as a null >modem cable.

Hop over >to www.palmtoppaper.com for more ideas about what's in strore. Thanks for the tip, but I beat you to this one! I've downloaded the demo of WWW/LX; just need to get it installed & set up. I'm eager to try this out...it's nice that the company makes the full version available for a limited trial; I'm looking forward to giving it a whirl. FWIW, I've looked at a ton of stuff at Palmtoppaper, Scotty's Palmtop Mania, etc., plus a few paper catalogs I've been able to get my hands on. This thing has temporarily taken over my life! So far this has been my experience with this program. The intermittent nature of this problem has me baffled. Perhaps this program wasn't intended to run on the 200! The serial port works fine with Transfile Win 200 on my old 486 with an early version of W95 (pre-OSR2), since I was able to transfer the OL390 files from the desktop to the 200, so it seems the port is functioning. Sure hope this doesn't signify a defective serial port on the 200, or I've been taken for a ride - bought it used! Thanks to both of you for your suggestions.

Well, I won't say that then. :) If you have a burning desire, I can even do the upgrade for you. Send me a 200LX, and some $$$ and I'll take care of it. I feel confident now to the the work, having done my own machines several times, just to practice... The most useful machine to upgrade is a 200LX 2MB, because you really end up with a 66MB, 64 plus 2MB. The 4MB machine takes you doen to 64 + 2MB, so you lose 2MB. The 1MB is 64 + 1 after the upgrade. > I want to upgrade my Hp 200 to 32 mb ram, but I can not find the money for a 32 mb > upgrade so I will have to settle for a 8mb doublespeed upgrade... Agree, it is not cheap. There is a lot of money in the boards, and a lot of time on the work itself. I believe Thaddeus charges $395 for a 200LX -> 32MB. I am not 100% sure, but I believe the speed upgrade comes with the 32M and 64M upgrades already. > Should I wait a while and save up some more money and maybe get the 32 mb for less > in the near future? Oh, you mean you think I was saying more memory is coming? I did not mean to imply this, just a general speculation about _SOMETHING_ that is overdue in coming along! Anything! If I understand correctly, Mack, or Hal(?) posted before one time that the max addressability of the palmtop is 128M. But I recall that it was totally not in the works when it was posted. The upgrades must be horribly expensive!!! If a 64MB upgrade costs (per Thaddeus) $695, then a 128 would be $1200! It reaches a point where the toy pursuit is too-too expensive. But then, I said so about the 64MB :-) .... What I really would like to see is some super smart software that will turn the palmtops into a sought-after machine suddenly: Example - a Lotus Notes client (not just email). Or maybe a superset of StockChart (which we sell) that will allow also for online trading. Or maybe some amazing application that will serve as an extended PIM / Contact Manager.

I highly doubt that! I have two phonebooks at about 350K (1200+ entries) (as well as GDBs larger than 1 and 2MB) and neither corrupts in the frequency that I read here. When I experience corruptions it is almost 99% my own fault. Generayy, databases are very robust structures on the palmtop. However, you can easily break them by doing "unnatural acts" with them :) ... Example: I believe the vast majority od the failures are caused by this practice: You open a database, update something (or even not!!) then close it. Out of lack of patience or attention, you turn off the machine, and pull out the PCMCIA. You just destroyed the database. Example: With SC it is easy to open the same file in two sessions (the claim that the newer SC versions protect against it can be shown to be be ineffective!) That wipes out a database. Example: Again with SC: You open two different databases, one in each Workarea. One of them can be destroyed. (I know what Thaddeus says about the mechanism built into SC about making sure this does not happen. I managed on several occasions to destroy databases in tests.) I never open two databases concurrently now. I have only ONE workarea with SysMgr running for that reason. This makes using SC a terrific experience, without the aggravation of destroying databases. So I highly recommend SC, but with prudent caution. Example: A drive is somewhat corrupt. The results are totally unpredictable. It is very easy to cross-link files. (This is basically when the file allocation table thinks that one part of a file really belongs to another (and vice versa). Run CHKDSK periodically. Run it when you have booted in the middle of write operations. Example: You boot in the middle of a write operation. You may think the machine is frozen, but instead it is just a 80186 chip running at 7.9MHz or 16MHz - meaning slowly! Example: You have no doubts that nothing that you did destroyed a database. In fact you had no database open for a week! :) --- yet the phonebook or whatever is corrupt. Sounds like a gremlin living on your disk, no? Probably not. It is very possible that either another file is now cross linked to the database or some other program went into the disk and did strange things there. This is possible if you use two PC cards, and you pull the cards in the middle of running a program. The palmtops are so versatile that it is easy to forget they can be vulnerable. Many vetran users seem to have a lot less troubles, yet, they many times use the palmtops much more intensively that more new users.

I have retained only some parts of your message below to provide context to what I am saying now. Obviously, several of us, specially the 'power users', maintain a lot of (critical) data on the palmtops and do not suffer from data loss problems. If we can discuss the strategies used by them, we can compile the 'best practices' for this purpose. I do this very often - turn on the palmtop to refer to some data and turn it off immediately thereafter. Is this a risky practice? How long does one have to wait to turn out the unit? Or should one wait for the normal time-out? If I have updated something, I wait for the hour-glass symbol to disappear before I turn the unit off. But in case of read-only access, I turn it off immediately. Is this unsafe? A call to Everyone on the List - borrowing Avi's words, can we compile a list of 'unnatural acts' to avoid , and develop 'habits that are safe', so that we are as protected as the veterans are?

For better or for worse my fingers `know' the location of the APL symbols so the screwy keyboard doesn't give me any trouble, and by now I even know what screwy symbol will be displayed. It is clear, however, why Iverson went to `normal' characters when he developed `J'. J was freeware up thru release 6.something. I think a V7 was built but not officially released. When J became a commercial product the `version' sequence started over, and the current version is J4.02a / J4.03beta.

It's just when people claim the 200 is a `good calculator' I often think that they have forgotten what calculators were all about. Perhaps it's that most people don't have real `calculator' problems much. They have data retrieval problems, or lookup problems, or appointment and phone record problems. The 200 is _much_ better for all of these. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 16 May 1999 14:22:26 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , fjkaufman@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "F.

I think Stan already said generally what I, too, do. I open a db file (appt, phone, notetaker) reference what I need and then generally close it.

Don't let the presence of anything on the D drive be interpreted as authoritative and knowledgeable! :) HP did some really dumb things on the D drive (mostly terrific, but there were several items indicating a momentary disconnect from the brains...) Example: ASSIGN is a command that was obsoleted when MS-DOS 5.0 came out. It was replaced by SUBST. My MSDOS 5 manual specifically states: "Assign is obsolete. It was replaced by a better program SUBST. Use SUBST." (I am not quoting directly, but out of memory...) It also states that the reason ASSIGN is in the installation diskette is for purposes of COMPATIBILITY ONLY with prior MS DOS versions. Well, HP picked the brain-dead ASSIGN and put it on the D: drive. Another example: The rechargeable batteries. The built-in charging mechanism uses 6 hours. This was enough for the 500mAh batteries that were available in 1992-1993, but they also knew the batteries were going to move up in capacity. The battery charging electronics get warm when it does its thing. There is also a sensor on the palmtop to sense the temprature and thus warp the LCD panel elements. Well, some "bright" one put the sensor really close to the charging elecronics, so when you charge the battery, the screen gets dard, since the sensor reports higher ambient temp! Anyway, the list goes on. LLRA is close to braindead, etc... The best way to use the stuff on the D: as an advise, a mere starting position, "talking points" :-) ... Avi M.

I think you will find no factual support for the "crossover corruption" effect you describe. It sounds more like a corrupt FAT and cross linked file, but not one bad file being processed jumping on another file and corrupting it. You probably need to look at you PC card and make sure it is not having a bad hair day - use CHKDSK generously. If you can lay hands on Norton Utils 6 - use Norton Disk Doctor too! > Therefore, my suggestion is to attend to data file problems ASAP, lest the > corruptions cascade on. EXCELLENT suggestion, but not because of the reason you gave. in many cases the FAT is corrupt or slightly out of whack, and files get cross linked. I.e. the FAT shows that cluster xyz belongs to both files. That means, one, or both files are in trouble. If you continue with bad information, it is possible for more corruptions to occur, until the FAT is gone over and cleaned up. So that is why not to hesitate... But one corruption can scarcely cause another, I just don't see that happening... Or maybe an extreme rarity... Avi M.

They need fonts from the commercial JKIT package (Japanese language environment). Those programs (and lots of cool stuff) are at: http://www.vector.co.jp/common/dos/util/machine/hp They're in .lzh archives, not zip, so you'll need LHA (available on Simtel) to extract 'em.

You have to enter the information such that each column is a database field. E.g., column A = Inventory Number, B = Descr#1, C = Descr#2, etc...) Then you can sort the database by using the MENU-DATA-SORT command. You chose which column to sort by, ascending or descending, and also secondary and tertiary sort fields. > 2) It won't let me enter the 1/8" description, because I assume that it > thinks the 1/8 is a formula(?).

Start your field out with a single or double quote, or a caret, depending on whether you want the text to be left, right, or center justified. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

It came with 16Mb and 1.3 GB hard drive. I was wondering if any of the other OB 800 owners out there had increased their memory size, and what they thought it did for performance? Also, the unit came with no documentation or CDROM, but the seller took a credit card order, so I am pretty sure it is a legitimate sale. I know the reference book is built in, but did you receive a "Recovery CDROM" with yours? Knowing how stable Windows 95 is, I am pretty sure that at some point I am going to have to reload. When I contacted the seller, he said that I would have to contact HP, but that didn't sound quite right, so I thought I'd tap the experience of other OB 800 owners. I appreciate any feedback you might have.

I think that after it downloads from SUPER it is called "irda097.zip". I have the Palmtop paper CD that has "irda200.zip". These (based on size of file) appear to be the same files although the readme.txt file in the irda097.zip file is very short and hard to understand. I will attach the irda200 files to this message. They are not so big that there would be a problem sending on the internet. The files are: Comtsr.com 8,849 Put in C:\ lamptsr.com 26,657 Put in C:\ ld.bat 30 Put in C:\ this batch file loads the TSR uld.bat 30 Put in C:\ this batch file unloads the TSR irda.tsr 832 Put in C:\dat readme.txt 4,619 this readme file is from me readme1.txt 731 this readme file is from irda097.zip renamed to readme1.txt add (without"") to your autoexec.bat before the last line(which should be "200" the line, "call c:\ld.bat" and save to c:\. use the instructions from the file I sent(I'll resend this today) from readme.txt. As I said, readme1.txt is too short and confusing. The only conflict that I know of is "Buddy". I have experimented with putting the "call C:\ld.bat" both before and after the "Buddy" line and when printing I get a plash of the HPLJ's IR led, then NO print. Without Buddy loaded(I have my normal autoexec.bat file on the A drive flashcard(default) and my IR print enabled autoexec.bat (without buddy) on my C drive), I get the LED on the IR port of the HPLJ continuing to flash and printing occurs. As to setting up the HPLJ5p, on the 6p the "I/O option" is set to "auto". This is what the configuration page that is printed out says. I've never set up these printers as they are used here where I work and are already set up. I will CC this to the listserv and perhaps some of the REAL experts on the 200lx will "chime" in.

I am a happy camper. I downloaded all the IRDA drivers that were posted on SUPER. I have a couple of more questions. Since there were several drivers I got them all. Could you give me the name of the one that I should use, and also the date and size of same. The only problem I still have is with my damn printer, the HP LJ 5P I can't seem to get the simple instructions as to the driver for the Infrared device.

You must explicitly tell 123 that the numbers are meant as a label. You do this by preceding the number by a text label character such as ' for left aligned, ¬ for centered, or " for right aligned. You can sort using /data sort You must define the range to sort (hint: create a range name and use that) You must define the primary and secondary keys. In your case the inventory number would be the primary key. All the steps above can be automated in a macro which can then invoked by a simple keystroke.

I was walking through the fleamarket looking for treasures and this one card table caught my eye. It was covered with stacks of "2600" backissues. My first thought was, "Where did this guy get all those backissues!?" and then I noticed the old, beatup NYNEX van behind the table with "2600 Magazine: The Hacker Quarterly" neatly stenciled on the side. I stepped back to observe and all at once recognized the guy behind the table as Emmanuel Goldstein, the publisher/editor. I introduced myself as a subscriber from w-a-y back. He says, "Oh yeah! Even back when it came on 8-1/2 x 11?" "Sure enough!", I said. "Well why don't you still subscribe?", he said. "No need. They're in every Barnes & Noble now", I said. "I guess you're right", said he. Unless you know about 2600, this will make no sense to you, but I have almost all of them since around 1984. It's interesting to go back and see how the computer/telephone underworld has changed along with technology. The old issues were chock full of articles on how to make blue/red/beige/white/green boxes and the newest issues have perl code to launch a DOS attack or tidbits on how to hack a Nintendo or a Stairmaster.

Because it ain't intuitive. Those of us who learned 1-2-3 before the days of point and click the icon may have a small advantage, if we can remember, anyway. Thaddeus sells a nice little reference book for DOS and Lotus. I don't use them often, but when I do they are helpful. I recommend them. You might also be able to get a cheap used copy of the software and so get manuals for it, though the Microref is probably easier to use. I have a similar set of records for an inventory of crafts and the supplies that each uses, and I use the database for it. If you want to use the functions of a spreadsheet (SUM, ect) that won't work, but if it is a record you want, that application may be better for your purposes. If you want to use the file on a desktop, Lotus may also be a better choice. Windows versions of Lotus will open files from the Palmtop version.

As Mike said before, our idea was more the following: To make a TSR that sits between POST/LX and VR and manages the handling of the messages to read. Maybe the TSR simply 'presses' VR's keys. Perhaps that's very slow, but I think that would be the simplest way to do it. > One thing I am not excited about is having to shift the palmtop in my hand > from horizontal to vertical position constantly - I think this will also make > the idea somewhat less tasty :-)... It's tasty for those people who do it like me: I sit in the train or somewhere else waiting and want to read my lots of email (most of it (abt. 95 %) from this list). Only abt. 6-8 % will be answered by me, all the rest is only read. So it would be good for me to simply press a key in VR that switches to the next message. If I want to reply, I'd like to press another key that leaves VR, switches back to POST/LX and starts the reply procedure. Another way for less shifting the palmtop in hand would be this: Only read all the messages and delete these ones which will not be replied to by one key press in VR. All the not deleted messages can be replied to if all other messages are already read. > > Gilles Kohl from Germany wrote VR. He may be able to provide some more > technical insight.

A friend of mine has got a TI-89, which has a software built-in that's very similar to Derive (It's made by SoftWarehouse, the guys who wrote also Derive). We compared many calculations: He used his TI-98 and I used my 200LX with Derive 3.04. Most of the calculations were faster on the TI, but only a little bit faster. There were also some calculations (Fourier-developing (?) for example) that were faster on my LX. Maybe it's only my opinion, but I find it easier to enter the Derive commands and formulas into the LX that into the TI (because of the larger display, because of the availability of character-keys without pressing a 'shift' key before and so on.) For simple calculations (2+4=? ;-) ) the TI is _much_ better, because you don't have to load a program first and enter the expression and solve it. You just type in '2' '+' '4' '=' and have the result.

The "Battery Low" message came up on my LX, so I exited all applications (I always do that just to prevent possible corruption -- or maybe I'm just plain superstitious). I then removed the batteries and replaced them with batteries I had recharged with an alkaline charger. I then tried to turn on my machine, but nothing happened. No beep, nothing. (keep in mind I have a brand new backup battery). So quickly I changed the old batteries for a set of brand new alkalines, and tried to turn the machine on, bu nothing happened. So finally, I pressed CTRL-SHIFT-ON, and saw -- with a sinking heart -- the LX reset itself without asking me wether to reset the RAM drive or not. Arg! Well, I've been doing monthly backups, but I'll increase that to once a week. Anyone had that happen to them before?

Several of you questioned and/or corrected my advise so I decided to look it up. I'm using the "Disk Operating System User's Guide and Reference" for IBM DOS v5.00. (I doubt there's any significant difference between IBM DOS and the MS DOS in ROM when it comes to the subject of buffers.) First, removing the Buffers command didn't do what I thought it did as DOS uses a default number based on the size of storage. For storage between 512k-640k the default is 15 buffers. This is probably why I didn't notice any/much difference by dropping it from my Config.Sys. Elsewhere in the book it states the recommemded buffers size for disks of various sizes is... 20 ... <40 MB 30 ... 40- 79 MB 40 ... 80-119 MB 50 ... >120 MB Each buffer uses 532 bytes and more than 50 probably won't give any performance benefit while also reducing storage available to your programs. The bigger the disk and/or the more complicated the directory structure the more buffers you probably want (up to a max of about 50). So I've restored the LX's default of Buffers=20 for my 4M 200LX and I appologize for my misleading suggestion. If I ever upgrade to a 64MB version I'll even increase that to 30. Big flash cards may warrant even higher values. cheers...

You just type in '2' '+' '4' '=' and have the result. Daniel, maybe I'm missing something here, but when I want to add two numbers together on the 200LX, I can't imagine wasting time with Derive or 1-2-3. How about comparing apples to apples? Fire up the calculator app (one keystroke, takes about 1/10th of a second to boot) and press "24<+>". How is a TI calculator "_much_ better" than that?? (Does the TI in question support RPN? If it doesn't, IMHO, that alone would make the 200LX the _much_ better simple calculator.) For basic arithmetic operations I haven't found a calculator better than the one built into the 200LX. (Although, I will admit the case+keyboards on the old HP21, 25, and 29c made for _much_ better one-handed calculators... And the symbolic/list functions in the HP48 would be nice to have...) ...

The size and shape of the 100LX and 200LX cases are identical. The only difference is the color. The 100LX is black while the 200Lx is a dark green.

When the moem reports that error, then it is not in cellular mode. You have to make sure the modem is in cel mode. Do you have an &F2 as the init string? This should force the modem into cel mode. But I have found that does not really do much. The modem is supposed to put itself into cel mode automatically when it sees the cable. Also, you need to make sure the cel phone is in analog mode (unless it is analog-only). I have found the following sequence to work. with everything powered off, connect the modem to the cel phone. Put the modem into the palmtop and turn on the power. Then turn on the cel phone a few seconds later. After the cel phone is ready, put it into analog mode (if needed) and then try to make the connection. Sometimes I will still get the "No Dial Tone" message, but usually only once.

It has occurred to me that if my data were wiped out while I was traveling, all of my contact information would be unavailable until I returned home. I have devised a solution that will provide emergency backup on the road. What I did was to zip up all the bare necessities Ý*¨ into a tidy package and uploaded it to my ISP. Even if my data gets entirely wiped out, I can fire up DataCom, download that file (along with unzip.exe, of course), and be back up and running. I also took the precaution of writing my ISP's 800 number on a piece of tape inside my battery cover.

Litany of a palmtop user. Back-up, Back-up, Back-up. A useful thing I do is run a backup each night. This isn't as bad as it sounds. The monthly/weekly backup simply resets all the A flags, and the nightly backup simply backs-up any files which have changed since the last major backup. So when the worst happens you simply restore the last major backup and then copy over changed files. Simpleminded but it has saved my bacon a number of times (assumes you have a flash card of course). ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 17 May 1999 22:13:59 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: The death and resurrection of my LX In-Reply-To: <199905180506.FAA79186@out1.ibm.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I'd just like to point out that one of the best ways to prevent wiping of the RAM drive in the palmtop is to get a 32/64MB upgrade.

Yep, already been there; lots of cool stuff there...but there are only so many hours in a day, and I gotta go to work once in awhile too! 8¬( After your last post, I became inspired and read some more of the manual (when all else fails...!); I decided to try plugging in the pcmcia modem card after reading about them in the 200 manual. Realizing it's a power hog, I also plugged in the power adapter. Lo & behold, I was able to transfer files without a hitch. At first I thought it was the modem card that needed to be plugged in, however after more experimenting, I discovered it was the power from the ac adapter the 200 was after. I even tried using fresh alkalines (3.1 volts at the batt terminals) but no dice. As soon as I plugged in the AC power, however, it worked like a dream. So I'm not sure what is wrong (any ideas?), but it appears that to do file transfers with the YO-350, I'll have to have external power available. That's ok, since I can live with that, however I hope all serial operations not involving a pc do not need external power, or I'll be in trouble when I want to set it up to work with my packet radio controller, which works from the serial port (I'm an amateur radio op...KQ7X). Anyway, that's the end of that story; thanks for the additional information and thoughts; I'll file them away for future reference. BTW, your reference ( I THINK it was yours, anyway) to the F1015A as a null modem cable is helpful to know, since the packet radio controller wants to see a straight cable from the RS232 port, and I likely wouldn't have known that if you hadn't mentioned it. Hopefully a null modem adapter will make the cable appear to be straight through though.

My files are on the Flash card, because, contrary to Curtis, I worry about the C: drive getting munched up and requiring a coldboot. On the flash I have little problems with that.

Databases (GDBs) and PDBs are essentially the same. To say that phonebooks are more susceptible than GDBs is at best voodoo :) ... Really. Try this: Close your phonebook. In filer, copy the phonebook to something called phontst.GDB --- note the suffix. Now open your phontst.gdb is DATABASE application, and use it for a week instead of the regualr phonebook. You may find now that the GDB gets corrupted often! Why? Because there is something that you do which is unhelathy to that database (I believe I named such practices "unnatural acts" :) ...) I have a 1300 item phone book which I open and close and use probably 100 times a day, and last time it corrupted was when I did something idiotic to the palmtop - about 4 months ago. Otherwise, ZERO problems. With one or two exceptions, EVERY SINGLE corruption to my phonebook is my own doing, an "unnatural acts" of some sort: Forsing the book open in two WAs in SC, pulling batteries out while the book was closing, bla bla...

I just di this 5 times in a row! No problems. I VERIFIED that your theory does not hold much water... Sorry. Oh, I was so confident that I did not even make a backup!!! The difference between a cold boot and a warm boot is first of all in what you press. Secondly, in a cold boot you get to reinitialise your C: ddrive if you reply YES to the question about it. Also, in a cold boot you almost always lose your date, and in a warm boot only sometimes. (Two of my reboots trying out your theory were cold boots, BTW - no difference in results.) Avi M.

I then removed the batteries and replaced them with That was the moment of truth, my friend. Batteries low. So you close the databases. You should know this: When you close the databases, the palmtop takes the index which was kept in memory and writes it out to the file on disk. I.e. you used A LOT OF CURRENT just when you should not have. The prudent action: Use the ON button to turn off the palmtop. Put it in your pocket and don't use it until you get to an adapter!!! The OPEN file is SAFE on disk! If you lose the palmtop's memory, your file on disk is safe, and usable!!! When you open it, the palmtop will notice lack of index information (which is removed from the file when it is opened and the index part is kept in memory) and rebuild it from the data on the physical file on the disk. So it will take longer to open. Close the phonebook. Look at it in Filer on disk - say 100K. Now open the phonebook and go back to filer to look at the file size - 80K or whatever. It shrank! Why? The index information was removed and copied into memory. Why? Faster processing. But the updates are written to the phonebook file on disk. Now if something happens to the palmtop - suddenly the batteries die -- the data on disk is sufficient to rebuild the index. Last: Close the phonebook and go check its size again - back to the larger number, maybe even higher by a few bytes... The index was rewritten into the file when you closed phonebook app. So when your battery dies, use the on button to turn off the palmtop and don't use it until you get close to power source. It is even a good idea to pull the flash card out, since even with palmtops off, the flash cards draw a bit of current. > batteries I had recharged with an alkaline charger.

When I tried to use it with a battery-powered pocket modem it would not play. Eventually I discovered that the organizer powers it's own serial port from the other end, to save it's own (lithium cell) batteries. As the pocket modem assumed a similar thing, e.g. it would be used on a laptop with more power than it had, the required power levels were not available on the right pins (don't ask me which). Connecting through a pin-out analyser which had the ability to supply power to the interface proved this. Basically there was no way I could do what I wanted. Now I could believe the same of the HP, i.e. it has no plans to export power to the 'partner' on the serial link, because it too is trying to save on battery usage. All I can suggest is that on whatever you are linking the OL cable and HP cable with, see if you can provide external +5v to whichever pins are specified to have power. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 18 May 1999 06:50:30 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Longden_Loo@CANDLE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: Lotus 123 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Chris, if you've done this before then you'd likely be running the full desktop version of 123 on your LX...or using some other spreadsheet. The 123 on the palmtop has had that feature disabled (see /WorksheetGlobalDefaultOtherExpanded-memory )...even if you have the available EMS memory, the built-in can't see or use it. The built-in spreadsheet is 8192 rows x 256 columns, but how much of that you can fill depends on what you fill it with. Usually you'll fall well short of the total number of cells. Loading the 2.3/2.4 desktop version would be the only way I know of doing better....or as I said getting some other EMS capable spreadsheet. Built-in 123 is good enough for 95% of my needs, and I have Framework for anything else (an integrated spreadsheet/wordprocessor). A good project for someone who's really 123 literate with lots of time , would be to see if only one or a few components of desktop 123 can be loaded in order to take advantage of EMS (vs the whole install). My guess is that this can't be done, since the system files would then be in 2 areas (ROM and RAM)...but you never know. - Longden "R.

It is originally designated as F:, and then Mack has a driver that swaps it to C:. The data on the drive can still be corrupted while the drive is accessible, of course, so backups are still necessary. The 32/64MB drives are not the end-all way to avoid data loss due to corruption-- only a good policy of regular backups can do that.

The 123 spreadsheet implements a design concept that's mirrored throughout the LX (a natural considering Lotus was responsible for much of the app developement and integration).... and that is a general tendency to go for speed of execution (ie reduced keystrokes) vs ease of use.

I am not following your line of thought. D: drive is always the ROM. With some upgraded memory machines, the initial C: drive is renamed F: or G:, and the 32 or 64MB extra memory/storage becomes drive C:.

Your second point is completely correct, what will be initialized is the F: drive on the palmtop in a 32/64 setup. But: Having myself been the beneficiary of a 32MB that did not corrupt when the power was out of the machine, let me point out to you that you should not count on this!!! Mack is DEFINITELY not recommending reliance on the board to retain content for any length of time. If you do, great! Next time place a special "Thank you" prayer to whoever you pray to. (If you do not pray, maybe one or two of these may convince you about miracles! :) ...) I just want to point out to everyone that despite the anecdotal experience here from many many people (me included) of a high survival rate of the 32/64 boards, DO NOT COUNT ON IT! IOW, it is a counter*safe practice to rely on the boards to retain the data. We are trying to help people along build some safe practices, and this isn't one. Anyway, I feel blessed that my board kept its data when it happened to me. But I no longer rely on it. One week ago I upgraded my machines to 64MB and had several chances to witness this "miracle" to not take place. So folks, you are on your own - rely on the 32/64 mb board to keep data, and you will kick your own butt! Will it sometimes do so? Sure - but no one knows when yes, and when not! :) Taking chances with your data is not a safe practice. Avi M.

In a correctly-functioning palmtop, no power at all is present at the PCMCIA port when the palmtop is turned off. Unless your palmtop is really severely broken, your SRAM card will not know the difference between being in the socket of a turned-off palmtop, and being in your hand. It will be drawing power from the lithium battery in either case. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 18 May 1999 18:16:06 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Reinhard Mueller Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Reinhard Mueller Subject: Re: Carrying the 200LX AND Calculators vs. 200LX Comments: To: Novosad@SERVER030.FWB.SAIC.COM Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi Steve, > Does anyone have a macro to implement a "Y¬X" > (Y to the X power) function on the 200LX?

I don't think I make enough money to worry about the ceiling amount for FICA (isn't it somewhere over $50,000?), and I'm in the 15% tax bracket for federal income tax. So this brings up another question... if I can find a table of values, and I put it in a spreadsheet called, say, TAX.WK1, would it be possible to look up which value to use from another spreadsheet? Or would I have to have it in the same file? > I assume you live in a state with no income taxes... you lucky dawg. That's Nevada for you.

The X-Finder doc says the the ._xfn in a archive should be in uncompressed format. Simply copying an _.xfn file to an archive within X-Finder will automaticlly add it in uncompressed format.

You can play with the deductions upping or lowering them within limits to either get a return, minimize the amount you owe or come close to zero.

I cannot say the palmtop runs faster, but I bet it is Avi, While your configuration might benefit from buffers=50 I wouldn't recommend everyone use that value as a default. The manual did refer to 50 as an upper logical limit (but didn't say you couldn't use more). I believe it is just as bad to use FAR too many buffers as it is to use FAR too few. I think having FAR too many buffers could cause DOS to spend time searching and managing the excess buffers. Also 50 buffers uses more storage than a smaller buffer size.

Al, The good news is the DOS doc on Stacks is a bit more straight forward (than Buffers) but still no definates. "Stacks is the the amount of RAM that DOS reserves for processing hardware interrupts." The command format is: stacks=n,s where "n" is 0, or 8 to 64 "s" is 0, or 32 to 512 "n" is the number of stacks and "s" is the size of each stack. Example, I assume "stacks=8,512" would use 8*512=4KB of storage. The "IBM" book book says the default for the IBM PC, PC/XT and PC Portable (XT motherboard) is stacks=0,0 and all others use stacks=9,128. I don't if this is really based on IBM machine types or on processor types. (All those pcs used the 8088.) Since IBM didn't use the 80186 I don't know what the default is for the LX. If space is set aside with the stacks command it is used by DOS when a hardware interrupt occurrs; I think the stack space must be provided by the program otherwise. There is also a comment that stacks=0,0 could cause problems with Windows 3.0. I think I'm going to try adding stacks=0,0 to my config.sys. That will either match the default and do nothing or it will reduce my stacks storage usage to zero and I'll have to wait and see if I have any negative results. Time will tell... cheers... Russ Followup... I just added the stacks=0,0 and rebooted. I have a bit more storage than I did before so it looks like DOS is defaulting to having some stack space in the 200LX. I won't know for a while yet if it is safe to run with it set to 0,0. I'll report back if things crash and I'm forced to go back to the default. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 19 May 1999 01:09:16 +0000 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , b.newins@WORLDNET.ATT.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Bob Newins Subject: Re: Tech: Help-Failure to Communicate With HP 200LX Comments: To: maartens@IAFRICA.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Al, =BB> The value of the backup software isn't related to the organizer...it= 's > there to protect the data that's in it!

Russ Since a buffer is roughly .5K 10 takes 5K of memory that could be used for something else, that is the only real concern for buffers. given that this is a ram based system the functionality of the internal buffers is very limited and probably not worth worrying about. I would be really suprised if someone could actually measure the difference in accessing files and such on the LX with 10 buffers versis 50. Pete Peter W.

I have seen some programs that require that you increase the size of the stacks. either way don't be suprised if you have a strange crash or two. Also, it will not necessarily say "stack overflow" or something similar, it canjust hang your machine in odd ways. That is probably why either the version of dos in the lx, or msdos 5.0 in general, is defaulting to some stacks. Pete Peter W.

For organizer backup, I'm not that hung up on having it usable with self contained batteries, so I can live with the limitation of using external power (I can even plug it into the cigarette lighter in the car in a pinch-with reversed polarity, of course!). Where i might find it a bit confining is using it with a packet radio controller in a remote setting. The controller runs off a 9 volt battery, so maybe excess current drain through the rs232 port won't be an issue in that application. Guess I'll find out when I get around to trying it...more concerned with setting up for email initially, since I'm going on vacation in a month or so. Anyway, thank you for the tidbit about the pcmica port; another post indicated that use with a similar organizer resulted in excessive power drain through the serial port. I was surprised that alkalines wouldn't power it for a minute or two, anyway, since the voltage didn't drop significantly, according to my voltmeter. Also, I've not had any experience with lithium cells, so appreciate your data on them. >Besides pretty soon a low end Palm will sell for $100 with sync software.

I've since began changing batteries at a minimum of 2.5 volts > (thanks Avi) and I haven't corrupted a file (any file) since Exactly right. An ATA flash card has a controller in it to make it look like an IDE hard disk to the BIOS & operating system. Since the card's controller is smart and takes care of the all of the details involved in actually writing the data to the flash chips, the OS just hands over the write command and the data to the controller on the card and then the OS just waits for the return signal that is it done. Well, during that split second of waiting time, if the BIOS senses the batteries are dying, it could turn off the palmtop while the controller on the flashcard is still trying to write. So, given the proper timing, there could possibly be a data corruption on the flash card during a low battery condition. This was one of the purposes of the ACE Technologies BATTman program. It would always check the state of the batteries before doing a write operation to a flashcard to be sure there was enough juice to finish it. And it would not allow the palmtop to be turned off by the BIOS when the flash card was still doing a write operation.

You don't have to keep Appt open to have alarms work. I have a policy of never leaving any of my PIM files open. When I want to use the phone book, I press the hot key to open it, use it and then use Buddy's Menu . to close it. I credit this policy with preventing me from ever having a corrupt ADB, GDB, PDB or NDB file. Since I have noticed that the amount of time it takes to actually open a PIM file is the same as it takes to hot switch to an already open one, I always play it safe and keep them closed. This also prevents me from ever getting an out of memory error. I highly recommend this to everyone.

There is an Undo feature in Lotus that you can turn on and off. I think that by turning this off, you can work with larger spreadsheets. I have not tried this on the palmtop, but I remember that with Lotus version 2 on the desktop, if Undo was enabled, it reserved 1/2 of the RAM to hold the previous version of the spreadsheet during each operation in case you wanted to Undo. There is not specific number of rows and/or columns that is a limit, except for the maximum numbers Lotus can handle. If you are refering to how big of a sheet can load, that would depend on the amount of RAM available to Lotus and the amount of information in each cell. Make sure you close all other applications (including Filer with the special utility) to give the most amount of RAM to Lotus. You can also tune your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT to optimize available RAM.

The number after the comma is not the secondary cache, but the read-ahead number. See the following description from http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Campus/4299/dosindex.html Syntax: BUFFERS=(number),(read-ahead number) Purpose: Used in the CONFIG.SYS file to set the number of disk buffers (a number from 1 to 99) that will be available for use during data input. Also used to set a value for the number of sectors to be read in advance (read-ahead) during data input operations. Discussion While conducting input and output operations, DOS stores information in memory buffers so that it will be readily available when requested by an application. The more buffers set in the CONFIG.SYS file with the BUFFERS command, the faster DOS will be able to access the information requested. You should experiment to determine the most efficient number of buffers for your computer and the applications you are running. The same is true for determining the appropriate number of read-ahead buffers. The read ahead buffers determine the amount of data DOS will read from the disk in addition to the data requested by the application. For more information on the BUFFERS command, refer to Chapter 6, Tips for Advanced Users. Options number - Sets the number of disk buffers DOS should use (1 to 99). If no value is provided the default value (determined by the amount of memory in your computer) will be used. Generally, if you have 512K of memory, the default will be 15. read ahead - Sets the number of buffers in the secondary or read-ahead cache. DOS 5.0 allows values of 1 to 8 with 1 as the default. In DOS 6.0 you can specify 0 to 8 with 0 as the default. Example To set buffers to 20 and read-ahead buffers to 2 enter the following line in your CONFIG.SYS file buffers=20,2 ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 20 May 1999 10:31:35 +0200 Reply-To: Paulo.Custodio@alcatel.de Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Paulo Custodio Organization: Alcatel Subject: Date fields in databases MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Maybe a dumb question: I have several databases with date fields.

Well here is the latest scoop: 1. Created a file via mkvolume xxx.xxx yyyyyy - that went fine. At first I created it on the G: drive then I thought there is interference with volume names, so I created it on A: - no question if it really A: or a swpped name etc :) ... It asked for the passphrase twice. It said it succeeded to put it in 6 pieces, and to hide it. 2. Next changed CONFIG.SYS and put the DEVICE= before any other devices, so as to not get into any issues of what is there... Maybe that is a culprit (maybe some other app swallows input to SECDEV.) I see secdev 6144 in mem /c after I kill SC. (yeah, I eliminated lots of possible interferers :) ...) 3. then login a and it tells me it is not an encrypted drive. then login a: - same. Login a:\xxx.yyy - same. Hmmmmm... Maybe, I need to access the other volume - the one created by SECDEV! Aha!!! Success!!! Ok: Avi's brief instructions on SECDEV - with thanks to Rod for serving (unwittingly) as the lightning rod (pun intended!) to my thinking process! :) SECURE DEVICE is a system that purports to create a piece of your drive as its own device. So my A: drive now has a file xxxx.xxx which looks like dreck - nothing discernible, all the info is encrypted. Inside xxxx.xxx are several files, all encrypted using a passphrase (a password). To access those files, I must gain access to the file xxxxx.xxx as a device. For that purpose there is a driver called SECDEV.SYS which is loaded in the CONFIG.SYS. Now drive F: is that secure device (represented by file xxxxx.xxx.) So the steps: 0. Get the file from SUPER... and unzip it. 1. MKVOLUME - size in bytes. File must reside on the root of a drive (take your pick of drives!) If it is too fragmented, it'll gripe. It will ask you for a passphrase twice, make up a good one, that you can still remember. Make it long and add numerics - makes it rather tough to break. 2. add DEVICE=SECDEV.SYS d:\xxxxx.xxx where d: is the drive where xxxxx.xxx resides. (You really don't have to use xxxxx.xxx as the file name even though I keep using that name! :>) Make sure SECDEV.SYS is in the root where CONFIG.SYS or add the proper path for it. I put the DEVICE before any other devices, but apparently not an issue! 3. Reboot. 4. LOGIN f: gains you access to that "disk drive". Mine is 150K and it is really file xxxxx.xxx (there it is again!) on the A: drive. You will have to tell your passphrase, so at tis time it is good to remember it. If you use the name of your girlfriend, then for God's sake settle down, or you'll lose important data if you change girlfriends too often. (Also applies, if you are a woman and change boyfriends often, beware! :¨) Now you can move files into F:, delete, dir, the works. 5. LOGOUT F lowers the boom on that "drive". When you DIR F: you get device not ready! It works in filer nicely. Oh, yeah - if you change girlfriends / boyfriends often, then this is a great setup to keep names, phone numbers, and other info. But the problem is remembering the passphrase. All in all - very impressinve little package. Just keep remembering to LOGOUT F so that you do not leave the palmtop around with access to that file and its data open! Rod, thanks for the help in focusing my thinking. Avi M.

It uses Rod Whitby's LXPOP as the basis of the communication module, which is how I arrived at the name ccLXPOP (spoken Clicks-Pop). I always liked the interface of ccMail when I used it with palmtop.com, but the long distance calls were a pain. This allows you to make a local call to your ISP. ccLXPOP has some advantages, and some disadvantages: Disadvantages: 1. Configuration of the setup files is not as easy as some of the commercial apps - but if you have successfully setup PNR, you have already figured out most of what you need. This isn't that hard, but there are a few gotchas to overcome. 2. The maximum message size that can be read is about 24K. If it is bigger, it will be saved as an attachment, which I view with Memo, but could be looked at with Filer as well. {This is actually a ccMail limitation, not a ccLXPOP limit}. 3. It DOES NOT SAVE ANY SIZE over the commercial applications - It is bigger. All three apps required (Chat.exe, Epppd.exe Ýpart of the WATTCP system files¨ and ccLXPOP) total about 190K. But it is smaller than PNR (No offense Rod!). 4. It is not bullet proof, by any means. It won't fail gracefully if you run out of disk space - yet. It isn't horrid - won't reset your machine or anything crazy like that. It just might not tell you that it failed to download your email successfully. if it doesn't download it, it does not delete it from the server, so you can still get it. There is one known bug that I am working on - it currently bombs at about 40 messages downloaded. Advantages: 1. You can enter and read your email using the ccMail application, and send and receive attachments as well. I always liked the interface with ccMail better than any of the commercial apps, which is why I wrote this. 2. To send your email, you exit ccMail, and run ccLXPOP. ccLXPOP will run easily as a DOS application while in system manager - without exiting system manager or having to use MAXDOS. I have run the program with Appt Manager and Phone book open as well. 3. It is cost effective. (It's free - not shareware - just free). 4. You can setup ccLXPOP such that you could put it and the ccMail directory on a PCMCIA card and run it from your desktop, taking advantage of higher speed modems and processing to send and load your email, Then pop the card back in your HPLX to read it with ccMail- I find this particularly useful. Takes much less time with a 33.6 KBps modem and a K6-200 processor! Download times on the HPLX are similar to the commercial products. 5. ccMail will no longer be the most useless app in HP ROM. Okay - this is not a big advantage, but I had to come up with something so disadvantages didn't outnumber advantages! 6. Written in TC, source code available if someone wants to help further development. I characterize this as still alpha software.I have been receiving email this way for several days. I am looking for a few brave souls to test this "alpha" release. Please contact me if you are interested. If you have experience with PNR, please note that when you write. As soon as the alpha testers give the okay, I'll send it to Mitch to include on SUPER.

As I only open the file sorted in the alphabetical order of the name, will it be any faster if I export the file to a text format, sort the text file in the correct order and re-import it? Anyone tried this? Anand.

No response to any keyboard commands, even power switch. The Ctrl-Shift-On sequence rebooted and wiped the C: drive and time/date as well. But the screen went right back to being totally black. Only when I removed the AC adapter did it behave properly. I thought it might be related to my new NiMH batteries, so I immediately swapped them out for a set of alkalines. Later I discovered that as soon as I plugged it in the screen went black again. Listening closely, I heard a kind of buzzing noise. Is this the symptom of a circuit failure or some kind of short in the connections? If it's something I can repair myself, I will.

The only thing I can remember seeing that parallels this discussion was once on a time sharing system back in the early 1970s we found that a problem which seemed to occur whenever the system was `slow'---but which only happened to a subset of the users---was actually caused by some users having the `habit' of hitting the return key excessively when they got impatient.

Personally, I haven't found the newer Simple Tech cards to draw as much current as the old controller did (which also featured an annoying power-on-or-insertion delay). But I haven't measured it in a few months... The reason, BTW, that the newer Sandisk cards use less current than the Lexar-controller cards is that the Lexar controller doesn't allow the 200LX to go into light-sleep mode at all.

I should be completely happy now, but for two things. When I download anything of any size (e-mail message, web page) using WWW/LX and HV or POST/LX from Metricom over the Ricochet modem, I get error messages that look like this: *** 62 interrupt overrun error(s). Baud rate too high? *** 75 interrupt overrun error(s). Baud rate too high? *** 88 interrupt overrun error(s). Baud rate too high? What I have done so far: 1.) Verified nofiddle.com is in c:\util, c:\util is in the path statement, and 'nofiddle' is in autoexec.bat just before '200'. 2.) Used Datacom to change the modems baud rate from automatic (ATS304=3D0) to fixed 9.6 (ATS304=3D9600) and setup WWW/LX to match. 3.) Tried all 40 combinations of DCD (AT&C0 or 1), DTR (AT&D0, 1, 2 or 3) and flow control (AT&K0, 1, 2, 3 or 4) in WWWSetup modem init string. To test them I connected and loaded the AltaVista or Yahoo! main pages from links on the default HV home page. 4.) Read every WWW/LX help entry and everything on Metricom's web site that looked like it might pertain. (The printed documents that come with the Ricochet are very specific to Windows, and their electronic manual won't unzip with my unzip utility.) Results: Every modem init string including AT&K0, 1 or 3 (no or hardware flow control) worked but got error messages like those above. Every session using a modem init string including AT&K2 or 4 (software flow control) failed while negotiating IPCP. What I haven't done: Try a land line serial port modem on my 200LX, or try my Ricochet on another PC. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what did you do about it? If not, any ideas? The other thing I am unhappy about is that my Ricochet cannot reach the Metricom network from inside the building where I work, so I cannot check my personal e-mail on breaks without going outside in the rain. But I don't expect there's anything that can be done about that, except wait for summer. :-) Sharon Rose sharon_rose@irishrose.com ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 21 May 1999 08:35:53 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Andreas Garzotto Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Andreas Garzotto Subject: Re: WWW/LX interrupt overrun errors with Metricom/Ricochet MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sharon Rose wrote: > modem, I get error messages that look like this: > *** 62 interrupt overrun error(s). Baud rate too high? This means that incoming characters get lost because the interrupts from the serial port cannot be handled. There are several possible causes for that. The most common one is that the baud rate is set too high. A normal speed palmtop can handle up to 19200 baud without losing characters and a double speed up to 38400 baud. The most common other reason is that some TSR disables interrupts for too long (note that "too long" means more than about 1/4000 second at 38400 baud!). So if your baud rate is not set too high, watch the TSRs. > 2.)

I haven't seen this version of pkzip, but would assume what it understands is Windoze long names. X-Finder uses its own method of assigning long filenames, and (if set up right) handles this transparently with pkzip. There is a utility on SUPER that translates Windoze long filenames to XF format. -Peniel ------------ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 21 May 1999 09:58:09 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , "Striegel, Alan" Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Striegel, Alan" Subject: Re: Help - sudden problem on AC adapter MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Well, I don't have an oscilloscope, but measurements with a DMM showed the following for the power supply output (for a load I used a 12 V automotive light bulb, measured at 4 Ohms): Open Circuit DC voltage: 15.0 V Open Circuit AC voltage (RMS): 0.01 V Loaded DC voltage: 7.54 V Loaded AC voltage: 0.42 V ÝThe above measurements were made at my home, where the AC line voltage was 123.2 V. But in my office, where I use this adapter, the AC line voltage is 118.7 V and the Open Circuit DC voltage is 14.89 V and Open Circuit AC voltage is 0.000 V.¨ So it doesn't appear there's much of an AC component present. Since this is the same power supply I have used for years, it leads me to conclude that either some power device inside the 200LX has blown or there's some mechanical short associated with the adapter socket (Nuts!). For any of you with experience in the repair of these machines, is there some likely single culprit that I could clip out or de-solder and replace myself?

This new way for building such a connector is, I think, easier than the old and the result will be much more solid. And the needed parts are more common and better available, I think. If you already know my articles I wrote about making a connector, you can watch the new one directly at http://www.palmtop.net/serconn2.html If you don't know my old articles, please watch them first.

I have an aging Toshiba 1200HB whose hard drive continually whines (and occasionally screeches)!

I don't think your will be answered any time soon. HV is very very problematic for us. There is not room in it for anything, practically speaking. It is code that Andreas admits he has had to cluge, butcher, abuse, and bend in many unnatural ways, just to make it fit and cram the functionality it currently has. He fears that even the smallest change will unleash an avalanche of bugs which will render HV totally useless, and require coding from scratch. We want to put our resources into areas that our customers indicate to us are very critical to them, new functionality that they require to do their work. I'd hate to have to divert from these projects now for a complete rewrite of HV. This particular program is also, more than any other program we have, a victim of the "Games Big Boys Play" syndrome. You see, in the quest for market share, each of the big boys browsers invent something new about twice a week. The inventions have no standards, they do not usually comply with standards other than "smother the competitor", and the Big Boys have another advantages: Thousands (hundreds) of programmers, and enormous memories - i.e. their bloatwares run in machines with 10M,15M, and up! My own Netscape Pro takes a whopping 12MB in memory. That means they can put in code to handle each and every model of the kitchen sinks, toilets, and anything in between... We do not have that space. Frustrating? You bet. Andreas owes me at least 50 kicks in the rear end for each time I asked him this year to fix this, add this and modify that in HV. He just cannot do this with the limits imposed by the hardware. Lately, he has been replying to HV update requests from me like so: "Sure! Get me that 260LX with a 386 and 2MB memory, and I'll do it!" :) ... I actually tried that too. Lyn Cavendish published a mock letter from HP announcing a mythical HP 260LX (this was based on the announcement letter of the Wince 360LX). He outlined in that letter a fantastic sequel machine for the 200LX. I have taken this to HP with over 150 signatures from HPHAND people about 2 years ago. Zero response. I even organized a group of computer executives in several Asian markets to llok into such a development project. That effort looked promising, at least as a starting thing, but died with economic upheaval in Asia. My partner in that, from Malaysia, suffered immensely when his company, financial services simply died. The executieves we organised in a group were one by one hit hard when their companies took a hit. Quite a bad scene. So far, there has been no revival, these good people are still licking their wounds. I hope there is enough life left in them after the battle to continue. We'll see.

Since ACE Technologies is gone, I have no idea what happens to their software. Actually, BATTman needed the ACECARD driver to do all that I explained previously. The two programs talk to eachother. ACECARD was the flashcard driver that would ask BATTman for battery state info before doing a flashcard write and BATTman would ask ACECARD if all flashcard writing was done before turning off the palmtop in low battery conditions. ACECARD did at least one other cool thing. ACECARD would throttle the speed of the write operations in the flascards that could do that, such as ACE Technologies Double Flash Plus cards. When the batteries were in good shape (new alkalines or charged rechargeables) as reported by BATTman to ACECARD, then ACECARD would tell the flashcard's internal controller to take the extra current it needs to do the writes faster. Conversely, when BATTman reports the batteris being low, ACECARD would tell the flashcard controller to write at normal speed and therefore use less current.

I have been using a simple transformer type AC adaptor for years. As I understand it there is a rectifier inside the LX to keep it from blowing up if you connect the polarity the wrong way around with a DC supply. This device together with the switched mode supply needed to generate 5V in effect isolates the LX from the adaptor - so its quality isn't terribly important. Hope you get your LX back on the road!

I finally came to the conclusion that the problem was NOT ABC/LX but something to do with the charging. Well over the last month or so I have been experimenting with conflicts between charging the batteries and running all sorts of software while doing so. The conclusion that I came to is that there is some sort of conflict between the Turbo C++ v1.0 IDE and charging the batteries on the palmtop. My memory resident software includes KEYBEZ, and EMM240, and I run Turbo C++ by exitting system manager and then calling Turbo C using 200MNU (Menu Manager program which writes batch files). I found no problems under normal circumstances swapping and changing between System manager and Turbo C. However while charging the batteries I found I had no problem using software OUTSIDE System manager, however while charging I found that if I ran Turbo C++ IDE, even just entering and immediately leaving, I found that: a) Sometimes the machine would "hang" and I would have to reboot. OR b) everything would work ok EXCEPT for programs which used keyboard stuffing to press a series of keys e,g, 200MNU, pns200 and PNR (which would not go into MEMO when I wanted to write an email). The problem would be solved by a hard reset (CTRL- SHIFT -ON). My conclusion is that I shouldnt use the Turbo C++ IDE while charging. Has anyone else encountered similar problems - clashes between software and charging? ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 22 May 1999 14:16:36 GMT Reply-To: wally@pop.uky.edu Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Walter Francis Organization: Completely Disorganized Subject: Re: The death and resurrection of my LX Comments: To: David Sargeant In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit On Tue, 18 May 1999 07:46:15 -0700, you wrote: >I thought that no cards could draw any current from the port when the >palmtop was off, unless the palmtop is malfunctioning.

I will swear to the fact that PCMCIA modems drains the batteries while it's off, my old modem would kill the batteries in 2-3 days of normal use if in all the time, where I would get a week or better if I used it normally but removed the modem *when off*. I tested it over several charge cycles, and not even accounting for power consumption while the modem is in and the palmtop is on. Matter of fact, I remember one time I didn't use the palmtop for about a week (oh forgive me, for I have sinned) with the old modem, and I backed the palmtop up overnight (thus plugging it into the charger, thus I *know* I had a full charge on the batteries) and when I went to turn it on a week later (unplugged and off for a week or so) the screen just blipped.. Luckily, a recharge later no problems, and I decided it was a good time to replace the backup battery. :) That told me that 24*7*xmA nearly exceeded my battery capacity, x being the current drawn by the modem while the palmtop was off.. No offence Mack, I *know* you *know* what you're talking about... :) :) The modem I use now happily isn't so noticable, but I assume it also has the same behavior, but not so drastic as to require removal often. -- Walter R Francis http://wally.hplx.net ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 22 May 1999 07:54:29 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , David Sargeant Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: David Sargeant Subject: Re: Charging the batteries & Turbo C++ IDE In-Reply-To: <19990522120948davidb@netmedia.net.il@netvision.net.il> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I haven't experienced anything like what you have, but I found that the Turbo C++ IDE was pretty big and unnecessary on the palmtop.

I am afraid you are incorrect as I just performed a simple experiment that anyone can do with a 12V DC power supply that they can read the current on. Take out the batteries and hook up the 12V DC supply in place of the batteries. See what the current measures when the palmtop is off. Try putting in any type of PCMCIA card including modems and you will not see a difference in the off current no matter what! I am afraid your battery drain must be accounted for in some other way than what you suspect.

Comments: To: sfml1@IBM.NET MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit This is a very confusing issue, and I have yet to see a full exposition of it. Some `writers' automatically word wrap. Most `readers' can also automatically word wrap. When I see very long lines, I have looked at the `source' and usually find that the original message is in some MIME format that indicates `quoted text', and---somewhat oddly---the lines are then broken into reasonable length with `=' as the last char on each line. Netscape, for one, apparently goes to the trouble to re-assemble these lines into the long lines you refer to. So whatever is going on is, at least, not too simple... I'm not sure this is a contribution to your understanding, but I, too, would be happy for any further light that gets shed on this (to me) rather mysterious topic...

Hi Lynn, The CD-ROM drivers (mscdex.exe and your CD-ROM device driver) are loaded from your config.sys & autoexec.bat. The needed lines would like some thing like this: Config.sys device=c:\sbide.sys /D:MSCD001 Autoexec.bat c:\mscdex.exe /D:MSCD001 /V /M:15 Note: as you can see my CD-ROM is a SoundBlaster and the driver reflects such.

I take pride in the tennis game I won today. Do you want to hear all about it? Home automation using your HP is, IMO, without question `in bounds'. It's not even `Fluff'. `Pride' is not `in bounds'. It's also not even `fluff' (from the other side). Babies, tragedies and other genuinely `unique' events are, IMO, Fluff, but _do_ contribute to the general `humanity' of the discourse here. I have nothing against that. Such things also tend to be limited by nature (you, or at least I, can't have babies every day; tragedies are ---fortunately---rare and consolation is important, ...) However, self-serving `ads' (other than for things that might be of relevant use to readers), religious proselytization, testimony of political beliefs, ... are `out of bounds', not because they are wrong, evil or anything other than the fact that they are `unlimited' by any sensible bound. If you and I differ in our view of some `hot' political topic: guns, Monica, abortion, charter schools, we can (and probably will) argue interminably if we start. It's best to exercise `taste' and not start, lest we destroy the `core' reason that we (at least most of us) read the list. There's fairly active discussion on Compuserve about how unfocussed UseNet groups tend to be. Way too much spam, too much fluff and a very high noise/signal ratio. Many Compuserve regulars do not lend their (very considerable) intelligence to UseNet for these very reasons. Discussions here could use the intelligence of these people, but they avoid a presence here because there is already _too much_ junk. I don't know if it's a fair picture or not, but Deja News (which doesn't register HPLX because it is a list) registers about 800 of my messages, and none of yours. Unless you tell me otherwise I suspect this means that I am much more active on the net than you are. This is neither good nor bad, but I can say that it may mean that `irrelevancies' and diversions impact me more than they do you. When you make judgements about the `burden' of irrelevant solicitations, spam, etc. please recognize that people who are very active on the net may be more burdened by these sorts of things than very casual users are. There's nothing wrong with being a casual user. However, many people use the net as an important way to access highly informed people, who are (thankfully) often very active users. If casual chatter, self-serving requests, spam and other distractions rise above some level, these people tend to withdraw (they have lots else to do) and UseNet newsgroups that once served a valuable and productive function become indistinguishable from a `chat group' (of which, I suspect, there are plenty already). Don't keep your mouth shut. Try to contribute, raise good questions, but also think about the impact of your particular contributions on the community. Use Kant's imperative: `Act as though you would like _everyone else_ to act'. If you don't want everyone to do it, don't do it yourself... And soliciting for one's self is boring. Avoid boredom. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 22 May 1999 23:53:41 EDT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Cavendishl@AOL.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Lynn M.

The main reason for including LXDNS in LXTCP is to allow people to test their nameserver when setting up LXTCP for the first time. LXRSH allows you to run a command on a remote Unix host on which you have a shell account (and which is set up to allow incoming RSH requests). There is also some additional information in the LXTCP.DOC file which should help people troubleshoot an internet connection using LXTCPCFG, LXPING and LXDNS.

It is my intent to keep the HPLX-L "on topic" as much as possible. Tim's original post might have been borderline. There are obviously a number of techno-oriented members on this LIST, and it is not unreasonable to assume that some would be interested in Tim's site. Perhaps a brief announcement of the site's URL, and then a solicitation on the site itself for contest entry might have been more appropriate. I would like to keep the guidlines for "fluff" fairly loose. In general, I would say "computer/technology" is OK, Personal announcements (baby, marriage, new personal WWW page, travel etc...), are fine as they lend to the personal nature of the LIST. Personally, I'm always curious about the other LIST members. Politics & Religion should probably be avoided as they can be too controversial...exception being Religious(and Political for that matter) texts that are available for Palmtop use are fair game. I would not like to see the "Fluff" make up the majority of the postings, on the other hand, I'm glad to see Lynn was able to locate his W98 drivers quickly through the LIST. Anyway, those are the policy guidlines I will try to enforce.

If it sees itself in a Windows envorinment, it goes "waste them cycles"-mode and paints every pixel on the screen. Otherwise, it behaves like a program, not a cosmetics experts, and does its thing. Works fine on the palmtop. about 140K. A bit sparse on the information in the messages, "like, duh, you have problems, we can fixe them!", or "Hey, you had two problems in the directories structure, so we fixed it". No names, no nothing to help you figure out where the problem was, and maybe you have more coming! It seems to be directed to the dumb, unwashed masses who cannot fix problems, therefore need no info. (Decision made by some punky programmer in Redmond about what your brain can do!) Oh well... But frankly, it runs nicely. It is geared to color screens, so I used mono8025 first, then ran this. Worked nicely. (Mono8025 is a program on your D: drive to tuen the screen to monochrome and translate color renditions to something reasonable in the four glorious colors of a monochrome screen.) Avi M.

Perhaps you do not use the palmtop to read the list. It may not be apparent to you that messages take both time to download and space on the palmtop (space that is almost always at a premium). In some cases, people actually pay for the phone connection by the minute. In most cases, it is very difficult to sort out on the server what should and should not be downloaded, so it is downloaded and the determination is done on the client machine. By that time, the "damage" is done, so to speak. The time was spent, the money was paid, and the space was used. Sure I can bypass what I do not want to read, I do so anyway, but the point is that someone's fluff is my expense. It is a bit like getting junk faxes. They keep your machine busy, you have to sift through the piles to find the good stuff, and you get to pay for the paper. Perhaps to drive the focus to its sharpest fineness: How about if we all sent to you 50MB files several times a day. You don't need to read them :) and it'll be clear: We'll mark them all as "Don't read". Maybe you use your employer's network, and don't care, but I suggest that some will probably meander over and have a little er... discussion with you. Anyway, I am not personally against fluff on the list. In the recent months this groups has turned out to be a great place for palmtoppers! I believe that most people are responsible and won't abuse other people's time, money, and space. But you seem to naively imply that marking a message as "Fluff" is sufficient. Thank you. Avi M.

Not an easy task. Unless I completely missed the question, seems like this is an easy thing. If you have a cell with the date string, you just use the DATEVALUE function in an adjacent column: A1: '06-Mar-98 B1: @DATEVALUE(A1) If you want the B1 cell formatted as a date, just use the /RFD1 to format it (you may use the date formatting style of your own chosing).

Concerning TSR's causing overrun errors, only those TSR's are critical, which hook into the user timer tick and hence run 18x per second doing their task. This slows down the overall performance of the palmtop and indeed also the interrupt handling. Usually you don't know, which TSR hooks into the user timer tick. I for my part will tell you, which of my TSR's may cause an interrupt overrun error: -SLEEPON uses the timer tick to do it's own light sleep/deep sleep countdown, disabled by win3.0. Use it only while running win3.0, don't put it into your autoexec.bat -LIGHTON uses the timer tick to constantly check if the wired serial power is still on. Completely save are LXPRO and NUMLOCK, because they only hook into the keyboard interrupt and run exclusively when their hot key is detected.

As I see it, FastDB would only make the problem worse. Quoting the FastDB manual: "FASTDB intercepts all calls to the database garbage collection, and forstalls them until the file is closed. Instead of multiple calls to compress the file throughout its use, you only suffer through one while closing the file." Surely, if all the garbage collection is stalled until the file is closed it will take longer to close than if gc was done along the way?

It's my understanding that FASTDB only speeds up the "interim" garbage collection (i.e. changes to records) performed by you on the database. However the actual closing of (i.e. exiting from) the file is not faster, and may in fact be longer. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 24 May 1999 18:25:09 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , garzNOSPAM@IPROLINK.CH Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Andreas Garzotto Subject: Re: WWW/LX interrupt overrun errors and TSRs Comments: To: Stefan.Peichl@t-online.de MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit > I would like to know more about all these power user setup > features of the WWW/LX package.

Not only those TSRs can cause overrun errors, but all TSRs that either server a hardware or software interrupt and don't restore interrupts soon enough can cause it. And also all of those that disable interrupts. So basically any TSR can cause it. > I for my part will tell you, which of my TSR's may > cause an interrupt overrun error: I doubt that any of those can cause the problem because they don't do complex work that takes a lot of time.

I'm currently working on a solution where the backup would be sent to a host computer (a Unix desktop computer in my case), converted to a text format and then checked in into CVS or RCS. This would allow me to keep any data record forever with tracking about when the record was added and possibly deleted. Also, corruptions could possibly dedected this way. The solution might look something like this: 1. lxbackup to mirror the entire HP-LX disc to the Unix machine 2. exporting all DB file records in text format to a CVS work tree 3. checking-in the CVS work tree into the CVS repository Step 1 and 3 are finished and well thanks to the fine work and generosity of other people. Step 2 is under development. A few minutes ago, I uploaded version 0.07 of the HP200LX::DB Perl package to CPAN (the announcement will followin in separate posting). This package already contains a utitliy script catgdb.pl which has the necessary dump option. What's missing are a method to load the data again (this is under preparation) and the necessary glue to automate the backup/export/check-in cycle. Also, I'm not quite sure yet about whot the export format should look like. Suggestions are welcome ;) +gg ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 24 May 1999 10:06:22 -0800 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , qman@EARTHLINK.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: "Quinton Jones, Jr." Subject: Re: outlook calendar Comments: To: yernst@NDSISRAEL.COM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >Does some one know of outlook calendar and appointment convert and sync >with the 200lx?

Why is this old data still in my appt.adb file? Deleted items are just marked as garbage and will be reused later on. The reason for this is that the appointment book manages index pointers between individual records and deleting one item would require the application to possibly fix all index pointers in all other records by carefully examining *every* remaining record. Therefore, the deleted items are kept in their slots to avoid reorganizing the whole database. These slots will be reused for new entries. This is simply a trade-off between time (to rearrange the database) and space (to keep deleted items around). Deleted or checked-off instances of recurring events need to be kept in the database just that the application knows it was deleted. Actually, checking-off a recurring entry duplicates it. > 2.

Has anyone run into this problem and what solutions have been > proposed? This works as designed, so it seems ;) If this turns out to be a problem, you would need to develop an application which ripps the database appart and recreate the whole thing, carefully fixing all pointers between records. This is not entirely impossible but it could be argued that it might not be worth the trouble. If you are interested in details about the ADB file structure, take a look at the latest version of "ADB: appointment book database format" at http://falbala.wu-wien.ac.at:8684/pub/english.cgi/41413/150731 > Looking forward to your responses.

If you finish tools to rebuild the databases from the dumps, I'll be keen to pursue that approach. But until then, I've been very happy with CVS tracking of the raw image. Now that I'm working off a laptop that happily takes my FLASH card, the backup has been reduced to: rsync -va --delete /flash/. ~/hp/ CVSROOT=~/cvs me=$LOGNAME d=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S` \ cvs -q import -m "Backup of $me HP @ $d" -kb hp $LOGNAME a_$d or thereabouts. As CVS accurately tracks binary files, this seems to work fine. If ever I can convert the binary database formats to a text format which can be automatically reconstituted into the original binary formats, I can retroactively convert all my CVSed history. -Bennett ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 24 May 1999 21:46:15 +0200 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Gerhard Gonter Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Gerhard Gonter Subject: Perl module HP200LX::DB version 0.07 uploaded to CPAN MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The Perl module familiy HP200LX::DB and HP200LX::DBgui version 0.07 should be available from any CPAN mirror near you soon.

DB header loader, analyzer, packer improved. b. load DBs whithout lookup table; the lookup table is missing if the DB was created by exporting or by some other tool and if the DB was open while it was saved. The decoder loop was isolated for possible new applications. c. A few problems with the handling of time stamps were identified and fixed. d. $db->dump_type () method implemented for raw exports in text format. e. update attribute introduced, will be used in saveDB in the future. 2. ADB handling a. DOC: More details and clarifications about the ADB file format. b. recurrence objects now have constructor, packer and decoder methods. The deocder was isolated from the constructor. c. new module DB/adb.pm to encapsulate some aspects of ADB files. Some code was isolated from catadb.pl 3. Scripts a. catgdb.pl -summary write one line summary about the database b. catgdb.pl -dump Dump the contents of all DB records (data and other parts) c. catadb.pl some code was transfered to DB/adb.pm 4. DBgui.pm a. Applied patches by Rod Whithby for better Perl/Tk compatibility. Next Steps planned for version 0.08: 1. Use of dump_type method for CVS/RCS based version control e.g. as a backup and archival facility. 2. ADB importer: Creation of ADB data records and possibly complete databases. 3. catadb.pl -format yahoo ... to export ADB files in Yahoo! Calendar format. 4. DB.pm enhancements a. use of update attribute for automatic refresh of view points upon save b. importer to re-create DB from the output of catgdb.pl -dump c. constructors and loaders for other elements of the database. At some time, it should be possible to create a DB from scratch without using pre-fabricated templates. Work in progress without specific releas plans: 1. More example scripts will be made available if time permits, e.g. a. getps.pl: a tool to fetch the "Pocket Standard", an online-edition of the Austrian newspaper "Der Standard" for the Palm Pilot which is the dumped into a GDB file using a pre-edited template. 2. A multiplexer module which encapsulates a collection of DB file into one object. I'm not sure what this is good for yet, but it might be usable for web servers, query tools or who knows what ;) Maybe this will be useful for a DBI::DBD driver module. 3. Scripts dealing with LDIF and vCard, iCalendar objects are currently in their infancy, maybe the grow up to be released some time... I hope the software is useful for your purposes, but use it at your own risk! Feedback, e.g. bug reports, fixes and other suggestions are welcome. Especially, the "catgdb.pl -dump" and RCS/CVS facilities are of great interest for me, suggestions in this area are very much welcome! +gg -- Gerhard.Gonter@wu-wien.ac.at Fax: +43/1/31336/702 g.gonter@ieee.org Zentrum fuer Informatikdienste, Wirtschaftsuniversitaet Wien, Austria ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 24 May 1999 20:04:51 GMT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Daniel Hertrich Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Daniel Hertrich Subject: Re: New serial connector for HP LX!

As an electrical engineer, I can easily see how the HP end of such a connector could be not soldered - crimp or IDC, for example.

Actually Lotus 1-2-3 has a bug because it thought 1900 was a leap year, so if you put in 59 as a date it'll show up as 28-Feb-00 and 60 will be 29-Feb-00. Since, of course, 1900 was NOT a leap year, you've got a "phantom day" in there if the date you're using is after day 59 (which, of course, most of the dates we 1-2-3 users are going to be using, are). ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 24 May 1999 15:15:35 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Longden_Loo@CANDLE.COM Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Longden Loo Subject: Re: Lotus 123 Comments: To: "Raymond, Timothy CPT--PAO" Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii As someone already mentioned, 123 dates are calculated based on the number of days since 1/1/1900, and the doc on the @DATE function says its good till 12/31/2099 (this was in my 123 v2.3 guide on @Functions and Macros).

LXCIC returns 06 for the ethernet card, 04 for my flash card, and 02 for my modem card (all as expected). The trouble is that when no card is inserted, it still returns 02. Can you change LXCIC to return a unique value when no card is inserted (maybe 255) ? BTW, can I convince you to release the source code to LXCIC ? This would be a great resource to those who want to be able to do things with the PCMCIA hardware. I release the source code to all my HP200LX programs, and often get thanks from people who have used it to the create other freeware programs for the benefit of the HP200LX community (such as ccLXPOP).

I did that intentionally because some modems have no function id tuple implemented and I was asked, if I could set the default value to modem, so that someone with a flash card and a modem card without function id support could still use lxcic to detect his modem. But I will find a work around, because I can check, if any card is inserted at all or not, and if not, I can return a special value.

There was a problem that if you received more than one file in a doownload, they would all be titled the same thing - I was going to call this a "feature to reduce confusion", but decided I had just better fix it. Finally, address book functions (using the address book for entries, and including LISTS) work smoothly and well.

I always answered, that I don't have the time to do this. Now (since I'm a liitle bit more experienced in making the lights) I decided to make a few of them and sell them to those of you who want to have one. You can have a look at this light at http://www.palmtop.net/ledlight.html I've calculated a provisional price of abt. 35 US$, this includes all costs: * the needed parts (abt. 10 US$) * the needed working time (how much is time worth?) * the full costs of an international money order (abt. 10 US$) * shipping to anywhere in the world (abt. 3.5 US$) (Yes, I make a profit by this deal, but I found it reasonable: I've spent a lot of time developing the light, making the instructions you can see at the above URL, and I need time for making every single light for those of you who want one - you see: there's much time 'included' in this little light.) So: If you want me to make such a light for you, please email to me: d.hertrich@gmx.de If I get too many requests, I will let _you_ decide who gets one and who not.

The other option would be to edit the key assignments to launch your choice of apps. Normally they would use shifted keys, but if you select Command Mode in the Key Mode (%n) parameter you can start from the key.

You're confusing the technique for making electrical contact with that for physical strain relief. I have seen military qualified connectors that use either solder or crimp methods for making contact, and a separate mechanical method for providing strain relief. I have no idea how a "real" HP serial connector is constructed internally, but I can almost guarantee you that the plastic molding around the cable as it leaves the connector provides the strain relief - NOT the solder or crimping of the wires. Also, IDC stands for Insulation Displacement Connector - these are often used inside computers, as you observed. Even they have a method of providing strain relief, though I admit I've often seen it omitted. Also, these types of cables experience a low number of mate/unmate cycles compared to something like the HP serial connector. Here I'm refering to the typical header/ribbon style cables used in computers, and not IDC technology in general. IDC can be lumped in with soldering and crimping - it is a technique for making electrical continuity, not for providing any strain relief. An example of a fairly rugged connector style using IDC is any standard phone or ethernet quick- connect jack (RJ-xx style). Hope this helps. -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

It looks like the ultimate gadget. I just got a sales card from MobilePlanet announcing the new device. For anyone interested HP has a website for it: www.capshare.com, and MobilePlanet has some demo of the device, with a drawing to enter to win a new Jornada :( Palmtop at: www.capshare.com/mobileplanet. According to the sales card I got, it is a battery powered hand held scanner, smaller than a portable CD player, that can scan & store up to 50 documents, and then transfer to a desktop, laptop, CE palmtop, smart phone (what ever that is), or send directly to a printer via cable or infrared. Sounds pretty cool! I really thought I needed one of these so I called MobilePlanet. They had only 2 in stock when I called, and charge $699.99 for it. Ouch. They told me it comes with 4 NI-CAD's, charger, CD-ROM software, case & serial cable. They didn't list any accessories available (like memory upgrade). Maybe someone would find this new device extremely helpful. Just think, any place you go that has something you want to copy, could be scanned and carried out in your pocket. Scary huh? Think of the increase of government security breaches this could cause. Stealing nuclear secrets just got easier. I am assuming that being able to connect to a smart phone would allow you to fax any of the scanned documents anywhere in the world, so then the scanned documents could be erased from the device, without a trace. Just thought that maybe some of my fellow gadgeteers might be interested. I do not have any connection to HP or MobilePlanet other than being a satisfied customer of many of their products. If I can build a good business case to present to my wife, as to why I just must have one of these, I might give on a try. I hope!

However, I still have episodes of unrelated data showing up in files (apart from. gdb file, the config.sys and autoexec.bat files also got corrupted yesterday). It is getting to be a bit bizarre. Could this be some hard to detect hardware fault that manifests from time to time? (I did drop the unit on a hard floor once and that's when these problems could have started.) Or something wrong with the in built power supply? Or any other hardware related stuff that is potentially difficult to diagnose? In that case I may save myself further aggravation by getting a new unit. If so, as most of the opinion here is to keep the data on the CF cards for better safety, what additional mileage would I get from the optional extra RAM? I understand the joys of the Doublespeed upgrade and that's what I may go for. I'm not sure what a regular user like me can do with additional RAM, though. Any advice?

RCS stands for Revision Control System. It's a facility for tracking changes in a file. First, you check in a base version of a file; this creates a special RCS control file with some header info and a copy of the original file. Then you can check in subsequent versions; if the file hasn't changed, the check in is a no-op; if the file has changed, then RCS notes the changes in the control file. At any point, RCS can reproduce any version of the file that has ever been checked in, or the differences between any two versions, and the total storage for this trick is the storage for one full copy of the file, plus the storage for each of the diffs from one version to the next. Now, the one thing missing from RCS is sophisticated control for intelligent handling of large groups of files. CVS, which stands for Concurrent Version System, adds that, at least conceptually as a layer atop RCS (recent implementations pretty much re-implement all the RCS functionality directly in internal code). CVS lets you "check in" an entire directory tree in one big whack. There's a lot more to it than this, but the way Gerhard Gonter and I are using it that's all that's important. > Do they have equivalents in the (pardon my Swahili) Windows world??

Of course "memory effect" is supposed to be a myth... Whether you call it "memory effect" or whatever, there IS a gradual decrease of maximum voltage and capacity when these cells are only partially discharged (a necessity in the palmtop). And - this applies to NiMH as well. To quote the Panasonic Nickel Metal Hydride Batteries - Technical Handbook: "...repeated charge and discharge of these batteries under high cut-off voltage conditions (more than 1.1V per cell) causes a drop in the discharge voltage (which is sometimes accompanied by a simultaneous drop in capacity). The discharge characteristics can be restored by charge and discharge to a discharge end voltage of down to 1.0V per cell." Now - it's not possible to discharge to 1.0V/cell in the palmtop. It's not safe to go much below 1.2V/cell, so it seems like the best idea is to swap the batteries out, and recondition 'em every few months. -Peniel ------------ ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 26 May 1999 10:05:56 -0500 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jeff Johns Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jeff Johns Organization: HP200LX User Subject: Re: NiCd - NiMH factoids...

Satellites charge when in the sun and discharge in darkness, therefore, depending on the orbit characteristics of the particular satellite, the may go through a charge/discharge state every 90 minutes. I'm using AO-27 as an example, it's about 500 miles up and travels at approx 16000MPH. The battery chemistry of nicads is much different now than when they were first developed, thereby reducing the 'memory effect' which was once an extreme problem. Just think about all those NiCads that are over our heads in orbit! 73 Jeff W4JEF *--------- Jeff Johns W4JEF - AMSAT# 32615 - QRP-L# 1857 ----------* |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 | *------------ Finger jeffj@scott.net for my PGP RSA key -----------* Goin' Postal - HP 100/200LX (v3.07beta) REGISTERED ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 26 May 1999 15:25:57 GMT Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Daniel Hertrich Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Daniel Hertrich Subject: Help needed: EmTeX MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1" Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit Hi friends, does anyone have a fully working (i.e. also printing) installation of EmTeX (maybe Stephan Luettjohann's 'LXTEX') on his palmtop?

I can't comment too much on your corruption problems. *db files have a propensity to go bad if you're not careful, but I've yet to see simple files like autoexec.bat and config.sys do the same (pretty darn unnatural). If you do decide to get a new unit, go for the extra RAM. I have just 6mb on mine, but the added RAM gives you several benefits: - EMS swap area - store your executables for faster loading - using RAM vs card for accesses (ie swap space and executables) will extend your battery life - using a PC card modem, the extra RAM gives you more space to store downloaded data Whether you go for 6/8/32/64 mb depends on how deep your pockets are. I'm fine with 6mb and a 48mb CF card... but then I also use my Omnibook 800CT to do some of my work. - Longden Anand Rao on 05/26/99 07:10:47 AM Please respond to HPLX Mailing List ; Please respond to Anand Rao To: HPLX-L@UCONNVM.UConn.Edu cc: (bcc: Longden Loo/AGH/Candle) Subject: No unnatural acts, but still getting files corrupted Following the good advice here, I have been very careful to avoid all 'unnatural acts' with the palmtop or the data. However, I still have episodes of unrelated data showing up in files (apart from. gdb file, the config.sys and autoexec.bat files also got corrupted yesterday). It is getting to be a bit bizarre. Could this be some hard to detect hardware fault that manifests from time to time? (I did drop the unit on a hard floor once and that's when these problems could have started.) Or something wrong with the in built power supply? Or any other hardware related stuff that is potentially difficult to diagnose? In that case I may save myself further aggravation by getting a new unit. If so, as most of the opinion here is to keep the data on the CF cards for better safety, what additional mileage would I get from the optional extra RAM? I understand the joys of the Doublespeed upgrade and that's what I may go for. I'm not sure what a regular user like me can do with additional RAM, though. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 26 May 1999 17:26:46 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Martin Cerny Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Martin Cerny Organization: Charles University Subject: problem in communication with PC MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I am a novice user of HP 200lx, and I am trying to exchange files with PC (win95).

I found a lot of information about rechargeables at the Panasonic-Website (downloadable PDF-Files) a few weeks ago. I think that what they - as one of the market leaders - say about rechargeables is firmly based on scientific and empiric research and can be taken as granted. Since I read this information at the Panasonic site I do exactly what you suggest.

A question for those of you using CF in digital cameras, specific the Nikon CoolPix: Have you noticed that the larger a CF you put in, the longer it takes for the camera to start up? Normally I use a SanDisk 48Mb CF, but I've just noticed that when I put in the original 4Mb CF the camera starts up right quick. I'd been thinking that the time delay was either the charging time of the CF, or related to directory fragmentation. I've been wondering if re-formatting the CF would help things.

Most likely the COM port is turned off under straight DOS mode. Get LXPRO or LXSTAT from SUPER. LXPro is a TSR you can use to turn on the COM port power, set the speed, etc. LXSTAT is a command-line utility that can control lots of things about the palmtop.

Through a few twists of fate too strange to go into I find myself again with one (and possibly 2) of these available. See below for features and details. I have the following handheld for sale: HP 1000cx (BRAND NEW IN THE BOX) - 2mb RAM - approx 11oz in weight - DOS 5, Setup, Laplink Remote in ROM. - Instant On, no need to wait for the system to boot just turn it on and go. - 1 Type II PCMCIA card slot for flash ram, modems, etc. - 2 AA Batteries & Lithium Backup Battery. - Irda compatible IR Port. - French nationalized version. (accent characters added, and minor french labeling) The HP 1000cx was never sold to the public (by hp) and was originally sold only in large lots to corporations for use in vertical market applications. The 1000cx is identical to an HP200lx except it has a black case and Lotus 1-2-3 and the PIM functions are not included in ROM making the system a more generic DOS system, ready for your applications.

Most of my efforts at printing from the LX have failed.> Hallo friends I evaluated all the different possibilities to print with the LX. I found the following: Parallel PC-Card ---------------- Minus - Expensive - PCMCIA-slot is occupied Plus - Plug Printer/ZIP/parallel Linkcable to your LX - Parallel is quicker than serial Serial/Parallel converter ------------------------- Minus - Very very slow (makes printing sometimes impossible) Plus - inexpensive if compared to the parallel PC-Card - PCMCIA slot is free Serial printer -------------- Minus - expensive - makes only sense on the LX Plus - no fiddle with adapters and additional cables - PCMCIA slot is free Redirect to file ---------------- Minus - pedantical - Desktop PC necessary - no printing on the road Plus - it's free - PCMCIA slot is free OmniPrint --------- Minus - Desktop PC necessary - no printing on the road Plus - it's free (www.palmtop.net/) - it's fast - it's easy - PCMCIA slot is free - print with your serial cable or via the IR-port (not tested) The best solution for me was the OmniPrint way. OmniPrint is a little COM-program that has to be started on the desktop. I make a clean DOS-boot (e.g. Windows 95 safe mode command line only). Then just start OmniPrint. Standard is COM1-LPT1. i.e. all that is coming in from COM1 goes to LPT1. Of course you can use other ports too. So if you have a printer attached at LPT1, you simply plug your serial cable in your LX and the Desktop, start OmniPrint and start the printing. I carry a clean DOS boot diskette with OmniPrint with me and can even use a customers Windows NT Desktop to print from my LX. Of course it wouldn't work under NT, but I don't care, because I just do a clean DOS boot with my Diskette. I didn't test it with the IR port, but theoretically you can print on this way too. e.g. on my IBM ThinkPad, the IR port is just COM1. I didn't test it already, because I never installed any DOS IR driver. Will test it soon. Does anyone know where to find this kind of DOS drivers! ? Perhaps you can add some plus or minus to the above printing methods. I'm very interested in your experiences. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 05:23:43 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Ed Keefe Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Ed Keefe Subject: Scandisk Detects bad media byte MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I don't have the scandisk.exe from Win95 but did try the version from Win98.

Much easier to use than putting the batteries in a mini-mag light and leaving on until batteries are discharged, then charging them. Thought somebody might be interested.

For well over two years now I have been printing from my LX to one of three of my HP printers. I use a Belkin's serial/parallel converter that I purchased at Computer City for $89.99. When I need to print, my LX is connected to the HP connectivity cable, which is connected to the serial/parallel converter, which is connected to a printer. While at work, I use a HP laserjet, and when I tell the LX to send a document to the printer, it prints in about 20 seconds. Is that slow to you? Well it is not to me. I also print to a AC/DC powered HP Deskjet 340 portable printer (a true portable printer), which only because the printer is an ink jet, is only slightly slower, but at no fault of the converter. My opinion is if you want only to print, without tying up your PCMCIA slot, and not ever wishing to connect the LX to a Zip drive, get the cable I have. It works great. Anything you do that is related to being portable is always expensive, but that is the price you pay for wanting to be portable.

Did you read my original posting about this device? It is not anything like the Logitech handheld scanner you mentioned in your message. I bought one of those Logitech's handheld scanners and took it back. My reason, was if I have to connect to a desktop or laptop while scanning, then I may as well use a portable flatbed scanner. That is what I replaced the Logitech handheld scanner with a portable flatbed scanner. The HP CapShare is a stand alone device, unlike the Logitech handheld scanner that you mentioned in your message. You not only can scan in up to 50 documents, but you can view them, and delete the ones you don't want to keep, all on the Capshare's screen. Then when you get back to your desktop, laptop, or CE palmtop, you can transfer the documents to them. You can also connect directly to a printer, or smart phone, without having to have access to a desktop, laptop or CE palmtop. Can you do any of that with your Portable scanner? I think not. This is way more than a portable scanner, it is a information manager, just like the name says.

Hi, Alan- There are (at least) 3 ways to do it. 1 Create a batch file that changes to the drive/directory and launches the app - make the .xfe link to it. 2 Use multiple commands in the .xfe to do the same thing e.g. a:;cd\games;yahtzee.exe or \||a:\cd\games;yahtzee.exe (recommended by XF author) 3 Use the .xff symbolic link function: In the XF file manager, highlight your app, move to the palmtop directory, and press ÝCtrl¨Ý-¨ to create the link.

I assume the camera had all the standard digital camera features including view/preview and delete such as on the CapShare. Don't know how well this worked in practice, but it's an example of the same thing... a self contained scanner (with alleged OCR capability)... and a camera to boot!

Not sure about Win98 scandisk, but my copy of Norton Disk Doctor, from Norton Utilities 6, always does that with the 32MB drive (and maybe the 64, I don't know). If you let it fix it, nothing bad will happen. If you don't let it fix it, nothing bad will happen either.

It is not anything like the I read your original posting, I went to the hp site for more information the first time, so I don't need to do it again, and your additional comments confirm what I already know. As you correctly quoted me above, if it is a more portable, convenient way of doing the same old thing (not a more *accurate* way), then to me this is boring (not on your part, of course, but on hp's). For some people, this is it! (to quote the coke commercial), but *the basic scanning functionality* is the main thing that interests me. I am not comparing scanners to information managers, but *accuracy*, as I said in my first post. Portable frustration does not impress me. 50 pages of less than 100% *accurate* images for *OCR* is useless to me. If it is not even close to a desktop scanner's *accuracy*, what's the use? I am certain that I am not the only one with this view of the matter. (Of course, software is a factor too, but it doesn't help bad scanning much). Perhaps I need to look at the site again, but I was hoping for an user's perspective on this (that's why I replied to Hal's comment. I cannot tell from your posts if you are yet an user.

It works greatly without, Although I do not know exactly what driver chip is used in the 200LX, IMO you can safely operate without using a series resistor. The type of devices used for driving serial interfaces are specifically designed to drive signals into all reasonable fault conditions e.g. short circuit as this is what they see when being used on equipment. For example: how many people have destroyed their serial port because they connected the serial port on their PC using a null modem connection rather than a straight through connection?

Is your serial port turned on, if not you get exactly the symptoms indicated. The 200LX can still receive characters with the serial port off and hence enters server mode when commanded to be Transfile, but cannot transmit characters, so Transfile does not think it is there.

I hesitate to help out for fear of being called a "hardware weenie" , but I've had this happen to two of my palmtops (a 200LX and a 1000CX) and in both cases the problem was the display cable between the motherboard and the screen. The good news is it's a relatively easy thing to replace; the bad news is that you have to have a spare palmtop to get one out of.

Though I haven't tried it, I believe that you can also "print through" a desktop PC from a palmtop with the standard DOS Interlink/Interserver. An advantage to this would be that you shouldn't need to carry a diskette. Simply keep Interlink on the palmtop, and most PCs you find will have DOS 6 or later, including Interserver, already installed. Any comments from someone who has done this?

Hmmm - if you had the bars showing in Setup, you must have changed your battery setting to Alkaline. Had you done a hard reboot earlier? - that will do it.

Can anyone else confirm this behaviour ? I'm worried that something else I'm running is confusing the key mapping. 3/ The File Output Setting allows you to store all "Done" items in a file (which is appended to whenever a Done item is automatically deleted from the screen - when this happens seems to be set by the # of Keep Done ToDo in the setting screen). 4/ The "LastLine" refered to in the settings screens is one horizonatal and one vertical line which form a box which identifies the boundary of active ToDo items on the screen. You can set the minimize function to only minimize inside this boundary. 5/ Note that the "LastLine" refered to in the Edit/ClipBoard menu item is completely different concept - it is last text line of the current ToDo item. 6/ One of the best things is Todo.exm is Open Source ! (Although I haven't been able to recompile it yet, due to a missing keycodes.h file). And so is X-Finder! (I have been able to recompile it). It's good to see that the Open Source movement is well advanced in the Japanese HP200LX community.

Lift the bordering of the display in one corner and slowly disattach the sticker from the case plastic. 3. Using torque screwdriver unscrew the four screws in the corners of the display case. 4. Disengage the plastic frame holding the display from the top shell of the LX. 5. To be able to take out the LCD display with electronics out from the top cover, you will have to dismantle the right hinge "brake" or mechanism that is responsible for allowing the tilting of the screen when the LX is opened. 6. To do this, first observe how the hinge mechanism is constructed, so you will be able to reconstruct it after the repair. Take a sharp pockte knife and slowly pry off the metal slieve on the left side of the pin. Carefull, as the setup is spring loaded. Do it over a large piece of white paper not to loose any parts. Once this is done, you can take out the LCD screen from the top plastic shell. 7. Check the place near the right hinge, where you noticed the fine crack on the outside of the clamshell casing from the inside. The crack is usually so thin, that you will not see it from the inside. 8. Taking a sharp tool, I used a scalpel blade, but any sharp knife or cutter can be used and shave off some of the dark green plastic in the area of the crack (spot about 1x1cm) / yes actually thinn the plastic of the case in the area of the crack!! 9. Border (frame) this area by sticking several layers of paper tape around it. 10. Go to a hobby shop and buy some acrylic resine used for molding small object or a clear plastic acrylic resin used for embedding insects etc. (I actually used some stuff dentists use for making dental molds). 11. Mix this stuff into thick paste, pour into the prepared area on the inside of the top shell in the area of the crack and let to set. The overall thickness of the plate you will be creating is only the depth you have shaved into the original green plastic plus about one millimeter above (into the frame you have made from the paper tape). 12. By this you have welded the original plastic from the inside (it is partly dissolved by the thinner used with methacrylate resine) and reinforced it with about 1,5 millimeters of the poured-in plastic. 13. Using the sharp tool you have, shave off any excess material to allow puting the LCD screen back into it's shell. 14. Now for the tricky way of reassembling the hinge spring mechanism. Get someone (if you have a child, it helps in this part) to squeeze the spring that is in the inside of the mechanism with tweezers. Take some thin but strong thread (I used surgical braided nylon used for sutures No.3, but I think that dental floss should be even better!!) and tie the spring together, so it will stay compressed even when the tweezers are released. Tie it on two sides or even in three places, keep the knots on the right outer side of the spring. You will have to have patience and probably repeat this several times. 15. reconstruct the hinge mechnism and put the metal slieve back on to keep it secure. Using the knife cut the knots to release the spring inside the reconstituted mechanism (yes, some parts of the string will probably stay inside, if you cut the stich carefully, you might be able to pull the string out form the inside much in the same way as stiches are released after skin sutures). 16. Put the LX casing back together. This done 6 months ago when the famous crack first started showing up on my 200LX (lots of heavy everyday use), there is no sign of the innitial crack on the outside now not to speak of any progress in cracking. This repair might be for the more brave, but the cosmetics are perfect and it seems to solve this small problem of our dear companions. Lots of luck in repairs and sorry for the long mail.

I believe that the number of LX-Users who need to print on the road and who do so is pretty small. In my opinion the fact that you can take your Palmtop everywhere even minimizes the need to print anything (I used to print read.me-files and docs of new software formerly, now I put them on my HP) If I would want to have every component of my desktop as a portable device, it will not be portable anymore. I think that using a palmtop and printing at the desktop is no contradiction (which your message implies), and even makes sense to most people.

I know of the users using the newton keyboard. Just to maybe > do some occasion power typing, using something that is so familiar, the > LX. First, I'll mention a "weird" technique I figured out that allows me to do the "power typing" you describe from my palmtop using either a normal terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software. Be advised: it only works in plain text-mode operations, and there are few editors that I've found that will work correctly. You use the CTTY command to re-route all screen and keyboard accesses out the serial port specified. I can send you details if you want. If you get this working at 19.2K or 38K baud, the you're really cookin'!!! Regarding the wearable spectacles... just after I posted the message yesterday, I went into a co-worker's office, and he had a demo board running for a company that sells these small wearable displays!! The one he had was a color model that was only 320x200, but he reports that they sell higher resolution monochrome units now, and are coming out with a VGA-compatible color one soon! Now, yesterday I learned that no screen signals are available on the PCMCIA port in a normal 200LX, so that nixes the easy interface idea. Maybe such a device could be limited to text mode, and just hook up to the com port in conjunction w/the CTTY scheme. It would be limited, yes, but would open up some more applications of the palmtop. Am I crazy??? -Chris Lott -- ************************************************************************ R.

Hmmm-- I've seen this "won't print from DOS" thing here before. Never could figure out how the cable would know whether it was printing from DOS or SysMgr... Probably what's happening is that the serial port is set to the wrong speed or parameters in DOS. I think most palmtop S-P convertors are fixed at 9600 bps, so the port must be also. You need the line MODE COM1:96,N,8,1,P in autoexec.bat. If you use any software that changes the port settings, you'll have to reset the port before printing. (I use a little S-P adapter called BSE Serial Port that was available from EduCalc years ago). Does the Belkin cable auto-detect port speed? > But I still feel that both cables print fast enough, > with output in less than 30 seconds, so I did not find that slow > statement to hold true for me. Yep. Since these run at 9600 bps, that's 960 characters/second. Should be more than fast enough to keep up with just about any printer. There's no doubt that printing large graphics at 9600 bps IS really slow, though. A full page graphic at 360 dpi may be about 1 MB - so figure maybe 15-20 minutes.

Comments: To: Robert Hocking , "R.

Presentations should be possible with exported PowerPoint presentations to some format such as GIF or JPG. The card is expensive and there is currently no software to send a JPG or GIF image to the card, but the driver I have written should make it fairly easy to port software over to talk to the card. The card is slow to update so it isn't usable in realtime for editing and such, but I have written a program to send the HP screen to an external monitor. It could be useful if you could handle an update of the screen to the monitor with long intervals in between. The card also supports output to a TV. Check out www.ezshow.com for the product I am talking about. The Ez2Vga card doesn't look like it has a way to power it externally so I don't know if it is possible to use that card in the palmtop without external power.

I am curious as to why you have the setup showing the bars? That is for display of the voltage of alkaline batteries, not rechargeables. Do you know you have the battery type set for alkalines? You do know that rechargeables have a lower voltage per cell than alkalines, 1.25 vs 1.5, which makes the bars your using to measure your battery voltage, off scale. Does this also mean that you don't charge your rechargeables in your LX? If not, how do you recharge them? I use D&A's ABC/LX software to take care of my rechargeables being recharged in my LX.

I really like ToDo.exm. Havent tried Fit.exm. I have een using ToDo for the last several days. I keep track of all of my todos, due dates for work and fun. The ability to specify default frame types let's me quickly find those todos which are due today or late. I categorize my todos under different column titles. Using the 3 zoom levels built into the HP makes viewing the todo notes easier on my eyes. Cut and paste between Todo files is straight forward. CSV import/export is pretty basic. The search function works but seems to be case sensitive. I figured out how to change the day format from Japanese to English (these are the letters to the right of the date fields). Go to options, setting. You'll see a day format field. Change that to SuMoTuWeThFrSa or S M TuFThSa (note that you need a space between S M and Tu. So far, so good.

As the instructions state, ccLXOP must be run with ccMail closed, but ccLXPOP 1.0 will check to make sure you are following the rules . Many thanks to the guys who took on alpha testing of the product - the biggest issue seems to be getting the packet driver to work, but if you can work that through, everyone else seems to be having good fortune with the program itself. I would like in particular to thank Qman for his relentless haranguing ;)!! He was most helpful in getting the address book and address lists working. Also Rod Whitby for providing a well documented and straightforward open source program. To all my alpha testers again, thank you, and download version 1.0 from SUPER!

Have you basically transplanted all of your Todo's from the Appt.pim to the new ToDo.exm or does it serve a different purpose for you. Do you fire up ToDo everyday to see what you have to do? Can it pop-up by itself when the Appt daily reminder appears? One of the nice things about the Todo page on the Appt.pim is that it is readily available and has all of the calendar functions available.

The type of targets is changing all the time, from strictly military (military camps, ammunition stocks) to a wider range: TV-stations and transmitters, power plants, water reservoirs, factories, bridges, highways) and we have announcements that next target will be communication system (phones, computers). Our satellite link (EutelSat) has already been shut down. There was a possibility that our Internet link would also be shut down, but it seems they gave it up and decided to ruin our telephone and computer system instead. That's why I'm writing you now - I don't want to be rude and go without saying 'Goodbye'. Someone could say: 'You asked for it, by electing Milosevic'. I didn't vote for him, like the majority of Serbs, he was elected by the Parliament. Nor his party has the majority in the Parliament. He was elected by the four-member coalition, which would certainly lose next elections (they already lost the local elections), but after this war started, Milosevic's popularity bursted, because now people see him as the fighter for freedom and will probably be the president for life. It may sound absurd, but NATO agression only helped him to survive and even to strengthen his power. I only wonder why NATO hurried with military action, when Milosevic would have to abdicate any way? Before the bombing started, the Albanians were living in their houses, and now? They are refugees and it's questionable if they are to return, ever, like 800,000 Bosnian and Croatian Serb refugees, living in Serbia today. If those Albanians succeeded to emigrate on West, they won't be coming back for sure, since they live much better there than in the country which is seven years under economic sanctions (embargo).

Or do you do this manually? Yes, the frame type will change all on its own after you pass the due date. You have to make sure that all your frame option settings are different. Try entering a note which has a due date in the future. Notice the frame type. Then edit that note so that the due date is sometime in the past. You'll see that the frame has changed. Neat isnt it.

I never have problems printing form DOS with Greenwich. Furthermore for on-the-road printing and serial connections I have customized the serial-to-paralell Greenwich cable. After dismantling the snap-box of the original cable, which houses the circuit board with electronics, you will find, that only some of the wires in the cable are used. Strip the insulation a bit further on and using a mutimeter and original serial cable from HP find out which pins of the 9 pin RS 232 serial female connector correspond to pins on the HP female connector used for pluging into the 100/200LX. Fine solder the leads from the striped cable from Greenwich to a serial 9 pin female RS 232 connector and also make connection where appropriate with the 5 wires already soldered to the Greenwich circuit board. The RS 232 connector (metal part) can be attached to the original Canon housing, when the back hole used originally for cable throughput is enlarged. The cable of this modified connector must come out from the side (a crude ASCII drawing follows). If all goes well, you will end up with a compact connector enabling you to print and connect to serial ports of other PC's when you are on the road. There is no more need to bring two cables, a printer and serial. For those of you, that do not have the original serial HP cable and are interested, I will post a mail which pin in the RS 232 female connector corresponds to which in the HP female connector.

I decided to put on my old "programmer analyst's cap" and write the specifications for the complete solution. I= 'd be grateful if the programmers would take a look at my first draft and se= e if I've covered all the bases. = ------- PLEASE: if you respond, do NOT let your email program copy the whole message back to us. ------- Here are the specifications for a program to synchronize data from the Palmtop and MS Outlook. Running the proposed program will result in two sets of new master files:= one for the Palmtop and one for the MS Outlook suite of programs. Both se= ts of files will contain the same number of records in which the fields in t= he Palmtop records will be a subset of the fields in the Outlook records. = The input for the program will consist of one or more data files from the= Palmtop and the corresponding data files from Outlook. The program should= allow the user to select whether to use all files at once or to use only = an Appointment Book and/or PhoneBook file now and other files later. = The synchronizing program should be a standalone program that does not require the use of other data conversion programs. It should be a Windows= program that runs on a desktop or laptop computer. Actually, true synchronization involves the solution to two classic computing problems: data-conversion and conflict-resolution. Here are the= specifications for each of these problems. Data-Conversion The number of fields in an MS Outlook application exceeds those in an HP PIM. The fields also have different names and different formats, e.g., da= te and time fields may not have the same format. Field lengths may be different. = The program must determine which fields from a Palmtop record map into corresponding fields in an MS Outlook record. The extra fields from the M= S Outlook data must be retained. = Ideally the field mapping should be done in the computer's memory and should not require the use of intermediate files. However, handling recor= ds with large Notes fields may require the use of intermediate files on disk= . = Conflict Resolution Once the data has been converted to a common data structure it's time to tackle the problem of conflict resolution. = No-conflict (identical) records will consist of those that match perfectl= y for all the fields that are common to both the Palmtop and Outlook databases. These records will be written to the two sets of master files.= No-conflict (new) records will be those in which no fields match. These records will be sent to the two sets of master files. Conflicting records will be those in which some fields match and some fields do not. For example two appointment records may have the same date= and time but different descriptions. To further refine the matching of ti= me fields, the program should detect overlapping time fields. Thus two appointment records would conflict if a second appointment appears to sta= rt while a first appointment is still in progress. = The user should be presented with the two conflicting records and asked t= o decide which one to keep and which one to discard. A further refinement would be to allow the user to edit individual fields in the final record before it is written to the set of new master files.

I see you have read the docs, but have you tried FASTDB yet? Does it allow for faster closing of your files? FASTDB (even though it may not be mentioned in the docs) does not always do garbage collection when closing the file.

I remember > an article in the PalmtopPaper to this effect Yes, this is true. But I will explain it for you. FASTDB not only postpones the normal garbage collection process that wants to happen after after change to a record in the file, but it also postpones the garbage collection that normally wants to happen when the file is closed. FASTDB will only allow garbage collection to happen at file closing time when at least three records have been modified. So, if you only open the file (which generates some garbage) and then only change less than three records, no GC will take place and the file will grow. But this should not be much of a problem because every so often you are likely to change three or more records and the GC will happen when you close the file. The programmer who wrote FASTDB figured this was a reasonable trade-off. If I know I have opened and closed a file many times without changing three or more records (which is a common way to use my phone book - it is used for reference mostly) then I will just go in there and fake changes to three records by changing some simple field to what it already was. This is enough for FASTDB to enable GC on the next closing. Then the file will shrink again to be as small as it can.

Very interesting! I have no real clear answer, but a speculation. Is it possible that each of these activations of LXCIC is done in a way that spawns another DOS instance? After a few of these you'll run out of memory, and would not be able to run the program. Then, when you exit, you release all the instances of DOS and regain the memory back... How do you run LXCIC?

The capacity of the DOS version of PNR is now practically limited only by the amount of free disk space to store the messages. Note that the System Manager compatible PNR.EXM still has the limits detailed in version 3.1 (the memory limit is due to the 64k data limit imposed on EXM programs), so if you wish to use PNR.EXM, you should limit the number of articles per folder to about 400. You can still have as many folders as your disk space allows. LXTCP Version 1.2 beta 2 ------------------------ The LXDNS and LXRSH programs have been added. LXDNS now also does a reverse-lookup on the IP address it returns to let you know the true canonical name of the machine you are resolving, or to let you get a machine name from an ip address (if the machine has a name in the DNS). LXRSH is a very early beta - let me know if it does or doesn't work for you. LXTELNET has a lxtelnet.username parameter added so you can use the rsh and rlogin features of LXTELNET easier. LXNNTP now only updates the last msg number in the newsrc file when a download is successful (previously, a connection error could possibly update the last message number, causing you to miss articles). A major change in the TCP/IP stack is that it now only searches the parent domains for relative names (names that don't contain a '.') when doing DNS lookups. Up until now, if you had domainslist set to "lxtcp.hplx.net" and you did a lookup of "ftp.hplx.net", it would search "ftp.hplx.net.lxtcp.hplx.net", "ftp.hplx.net.hplx.net", "ftp.hplx.net.net", and only then find "ftp.hplx.net". Now, if the name you are searching for contains a '.', then no parent domains will be consulted. So a search for just "ftp" will look-up "ftp.lxtcp.hplx.net", then "ftp.hplx.net"; whereas a search for "ftp.hplx.net" will only look for "ftp.hplx.net" and nothing else. I can't believe no-one (including me) hadn't noticed this problem in the WatTCP stack before. Anyway, it's fixed now, so you should see much faster name lookups from now on. The domainslist directive now only accepts a single domain name, not a list of domains. I've also enabled the TCP/IP packet dump facilities in the WatTCP stack.

In a laptop, WinCE machine, or desktop, though, the new 16x Lexar cards are incredibly faster than the new Sandisk cards at writing. Read speeds are about the same. However, the Sandisk cards don't disable light sleep, and (my last tests showed) the Lexar cards do, so for strict 200LX use, the Sandisk cards are generally a better choice, as they use less current. But I haven't tested the newer Lexar cards, so I can't say about those. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 30 May 1999 21:38:44 -0600 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , a123456@BITSTREAM.NET Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: John Musielewicz Subject: quotes in ccMail MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Does anyone know if there is a way to get it to quote a replied message properly?

EXM programs are fairly difficult. You might want to start out with some straight C and PAL programming, which is much less complex, and gradually move into EXM. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 31 May 1999 08:17:16 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Andreas Garzotto Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Andreas Garzotto Subject: Re: POSTLX with SC MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Winfried Zettelmeyer wrote: > Why does lxcic "get lost" when changing between work areas ? Unless you use it in TSR mode, it just "sets" the parameters right. Seemingly, SC also fiddles with some of those parameters so that the state is changed when you return to the SC workarea in which you started LXCIC.

However, what I would normally do in such a situation is: telnet 110 (the above line would be telnet :110 with telnet/lx) user pass And then you will be able to delete the message, if you know what number it is, by doing dele If you don't know which it is, try top 1 10 which will show you the headers and the first 10 lines of the message. Then do top 2 10, etc. until you find the big one (assuming you can tell by the headers which is the big one) and dele that message. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 29 May 1999 22:24:10 +0100 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Laurence Harvey Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Laurence Harvey Subject: Re: problem in communication with PC MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >> Is your serial port turned on, if not you get exactly the symptoms ..? >If it is that in Setup - Comms -> I have COM1 Port DOS enabled.

This is not a problem in the WatTCP stack. Name resolution is supposed to be done like this. Check with any reference manual on TCP/IP.

I read about this in the DNS RFC and the CUTCP manual. It seems that no-one follows this rule (use a trailing '.'). Look at web URLs. No-one ever says "www.microsoft.com.", do they ? I get the feeling that appending default domains is something that has fallen by the wayside over the years. > Don't give your resolver a default domain unless you use it a lot. But lots of things require you to have a default domain (like the SMTP HELO command, for one), and most BOOTP and DHCP servers supply it. So it always gets specifies and it causes lots of useless lookups (going all the way to the root servers in some cases).

After reading the Config.doc of X-Finder I tried it already with ME. Before I made also the experience that MEMO did'nt start with MEMO. So this is not the problem. The problem is, if I choose a Textfile and push F9, Memo starts, but empty, not with the choosed file as content, Memo instead opens itself the File-Menu with the option "Format" and there the option "Text". As result the Textformat-Window appears, where You can choose between the options "Bold" and "Underlined". That's it. As Quinton (QMan) wrote me earlier today, the same happens to his HP.

After making the correction, I tried opening files in MEMO. Worked fine both choosing text files and F9 to edit and with F7 to edit finder.env. Thought maybe Buddy was interacting with XF, so tried it with Buddy both on and off, and it works both ways. > As Quinton (QMan) wrote me earlier today, the same happens to > his HP.

The only other thing I can think of trying is to delete the memoed.env file from c:\_dat, then start MEMO from the blue key to create a new one. Sometimes this works for me when MEMO acts wierd. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 31 May 1999 09:28:25 -0700 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Steven Lawson Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Steven Lawson Subject: Re: Looking for beta testers for LXTCP 1.2 beta 2 and PNR 3.2 beta 1 Comments: To: rwhitby@ASC.CORP.MOT.COM In-Reply-To: <14162.17532.973096.367783@asc.corp.mot.com> from Rod Whitby at "May 31, 99 05:42:44 pm" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > I get the feeling that appending default domains is something that has > fallen by the wayside over the years. Amanda is correct, this is how the resolver works as weird as it seems. There is also a security update RFC for this to limit how far the resolver is supposed to go, (not getting down to something like gates.microsoft.com.edu where a bogus server can pretend to be the right machine). I think this attack is bogus anyway for a variety of reasons.

Leaving it the way you have it should only break people with subdomains (for instance, ftp.us.bigcorporation.com and ftp.uk.bigcorporation.com might be accessed currently as ftp.us and ftp.uk by the users) You might try doing a strcmp of fewer and fewer parts of the domain against the end of the name you're resolving. This would tell you how far to go before you're just duplicating part of the name. ** HPLX-L LIST Info at http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~mchem1/HPLX.shtml ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 31 May 1999 03:59:25 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , Jorgen Dybdahl Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: Jorgen Dybdahl Subject: Re: FLUFF: Goodbye in advance Comments: To: hpstaber@csi.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 >Serb troups have been trying to suppress not only the Kosovo >but also tried to invade my homecountry Carinthia/Austria twice >after each World War.

You can set this when you create a new .tdb with under the "File/New..." menu. The current settings are shown on your titlebar as ///. Importing and exporting the data itself can be done using the "File/CSV in..." or "File/CSV out..." menues. Personally, I use 10x26x512 (I'm not sure why the author chose 26 default rows) but only view the active cells by expanding the cellsize using {ctrl-left} and {ctrl-right} so that my 4 or 5 active columns fill the whole screen. Setting the fontsize using {fn-zoom} helps make the screen more visible. With the small font, I can get 10 rows on-screen; 8 with the medium and large fonts. In my notes I enter a "headline" on the first line of the note, which shows up on the main screen. Perhaps the author could add an expand function (the {f6} key looks open) which automatically expands the active cells to fill the screen? Toggling the minimize function {f8} can give you an overview of the page. The frames are small, but you can make out their differences so you can quickly get a sense of how many things are due on that day. Hitting {enter} on an entry shows me the whole note if there's additional information below the headline. I have selected "Note Insert Mode" under "Options/Setting..." which places the cursor at the end of the note for quick entry. I also found that {fn-scrl} locks the cursor at the top-left while the whole spreadsheet moves around it (an 'S' appears at the top, to the left of the date). I don't like this behavior much, but it does allow you to scroll one cell at a time rather than a page at a time. Todo.exm is a great program! I wasn't sure how to use it at first, but now I never use the "Todo's" in Appt anymore. It's so much easier to be able to organize your day when you can see the structure of tasks rather than a long one-dimensional list. I especially like being able to switch between two different .TDB's on-the-fly by pressing {backsp}. I wish that the other databases supported this function! While I'm on the subject, I might as well mention that FIT.exm (available from the same site) is a great complement to ToDo.exm. The functionality is about the same, but there are no dates and each field is essentially just a framed note. I had a lot of lists of stuff on my Appt todo page that I kept around as random thoughts, but didn't access often. These freeform ideas are well-suited for FIT.exm.

XF appears to use a keystuff macro to load the selected file into MEMO. My guess is that on your German palmtop the menu keys for selecting a file to open are completely different from the English version. If that's the problem, it would require a recompile of XF for the proper keypresses. Or - if you can find the right part of the XF executable file it could probably be altered with a hex editor... Other than that - Qman's work-arounds may be the only answer. Or use a DOS editor. Regards, -Peniel ------------ 03h08m20s ago ...

Hi Jeff- According to XF docs - Toshiki Sasabe is at: toshiki@j.email.ne.jp The Vector site is: http://www.vector.co.jp/common/dos/util/machine/hp/ The Vector site has been pretty slow lately, but has lots of cool stuff.

There are utility programs, such as Buddy, that will change the time of the deaily greeting. So, if you usually turn the palmtop for the first time at 7am, then change the greeting to happen at 8:00 so it does not bother you the first thing in the morning. Instead, if you don't want the greeting at all, you can turn it off by removing the checkmark at Menu Options daily Greeting.

The only time SRAM cards get juice from the palmtop is when its on. This is why if you want to preserve the SRAM's battery, plug it into a palmtop, turn on the palmtop and plug it into an AC adapter so it stays on.

It works greatly without, but maybe you remeber the > discussion about the safety of the port I agreee with Laurence that the specs for RS-232 make the electronics driving the signals have to tolerate short curcuits, etc. So, there is a current limiting feature on the RS-232 lines from the palmtop and that even a dead short would not hurt them. So, putting a LED in there with no resistor should not do any harm. The purpose of a limiting resistor in series with a LED under notmal circumstances is there to drop the voltage down to what the LED likes and therefore only the proper amount of current will flow through the LED. With the palmtop's RS-232 lines, they seem to already be limited to about 9-13 ma which is what your LED probably wants anyway. From your wiring diagrams, it seems that you are driving the LED from the Transmit Data (TxD) line. I made a LED light myself with two LED's and connected them to the two hardware control lines output from the palmtop rather than the TxD.

I have not received a low battery condition in many years and I have never had a phone book corruption. I just don't let the batteries get so low. I don't think it is fun to risk my data in the attempt to play on the bring of low batteries. Another think I always do is keep my phone book file (and Appt and data base files) closed when I am not using them.

When the palmtop is turned off, there is absolutely no power going to the PCMCIA slot. Even an SRAM card which needs to have constant power to maintain memory must rely on its own internal battery while the palmtop is turned off. When the palmtop is off, the only power draw is to maintain the palmtop's internal RAM and the real time clock.

Although this is not a direct conflict wit serial communications, Stacker will slow down writing to the disk because it needs to compress the data. This is even worse with a Stacked flash card. So, a high speed file download could have trouble if the data is going to the Stacked drive. Perhaps you can change your download directory to be on another drive instead of the Stacker one.

If so, why? Is there a speed advantage? There's somewhat of a speed advantage, although it's probably not very much compared to the newer flash cards. The other advantage is that SRAM cards use a lot less current.

I suspect that corrupt data lurking about somewhere may still cause corruption when accessed. Also, you do not know which of the .com and .exe files have been corrupted, turning them into what has been called here as 'rogue programs'. That's why you need to re-load all programs. In a data corruption of this sort (to borrow a phrase) what is revealed is important, but what is concealed is vital! so, ensure that you have done a thorough job of disinfecting. Anand.

The next version of LXTCP will recommend a FQDN for hostname, and will grab the domain name from the hostname.

However, it is a fact that the default WatTCP stack does not follow the recommendations in RFC1535 (probably because it hasn't been modified since before RFC1535 was written). I will be "fixing" it so that it does follow all relevant RFC's as follows: 1/ If the search name contains a '.', then it is searched for as-is. 2/ If that fails, or the search name does not contain a '.', then the domains in the domainslist are added, one at a time, until a match is found. Note that only the domains listed are appended - no parents of those domains are used. 3/ If no explicit domainslist is specified, then an implicit domainslist consists of the default domain only. 3/ ÝCurrently, the domainslist only allows one domain - this will be fixed in the future.¨ So if someone has domainslist="lxtcp.hplx.net", then a search for "mail" will try "mail.lxtcp.hplx.net" only, and a search for "mail.isp.com" will try "mail.isp.com" only. When support for more than one domain in the domainslist is implemented, then with a hostname of "host.us.company.com" and a domainslist of "us.company.com,company.com", then a search for "ftp" will look for "ftp.us.company.com" then "ftp.company.com", a search for "ftp.uk" will look for "ftp.uk" then "ftp.uk.us.company.com" then "ftp.uk.company.com", and a search for "ftp.us" will look for "ftp.us" then "ftp.us.us.company.com" then "ftp.us.company.com". -- -- 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: Mon, 31 May 1999 21:16:14 -0400 Reply-To: HPLX Mailing List , William Sprague Sender: HPLX Mailing List From: William Sprague Subject: Minor Buddy Question?
